Platinum and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based regimens have been used the most frequently in palliative chemotherapy for gastric cancer. The present study evaluated the prognostic significance of Bax, excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1), and thymidylate synthase (TS) in advanced gastric cancer patients treated with 5-FU, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) palliative chemotherapy.

    We established two sorafenib-resistant HCC cell lines from Huh7, a human HCC cell line, by chronic exposure of cells to sorafenib. Sorafenib induced significant apoptosis in Huh7 cells, however, Huh7-R1 and Huh7-R2 showed significant resistance to sorafenib-induced apoptosis at the clinical relevant...

    We used melanoma associated gene (MAGE) RT-PCR to detect peritoneal metastasis of gastric carcinoma after curative surgery and evaluated its clinical significance. Eighty-four peritoneal washes and 23 tumor and normal tissues were obtained from 84 gastric carcinoma patients. MAGE A1-A6 RT-PCR was ca...

    Although it has been well established that GABA(A) receptors are molecular targets of a variety of allosteric modulators, such as benzodiazepines, the pharmacological properties of presynaptic GABA(A) receptors are poorly understood. In this study, the effects of diazepam and Zn(2+) on presynaptic G...
