GPD1 enhances the anti-cancer effects of metformin by synergistically increasing total cellular glycerol-3-phosphateMetformin is an oral drug widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Numerous studies have demonstrated the value of metformin in cancer treatment. However, for metformin to elicit effects on cancer this often requires a high dosage, and any underlying mechanism for how to improve its inhibitory effects remains unknown. Here we found that low mRNA expression of glycerol-3-phosphate...
Pilot study measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in children suggests trilipid cream is more effective than a paraffin‐based emollient:
A short-term inhalation study to assess the reversibility of sensory irritation in human volunteersAbstract Sensory irritation is an acute adverse effect caused by chemicals that stimulate chemoreceptors of the upper respiratory tract or the mucous membranes of the outer eye. The avoidance of this end point is of uttermost importance in regulatory toxicology. In this study, repeated exposures to ethyl acrylate were analyzed to investigate possible carryover effects from day to day for different markers...
Determination of globotriaosylceramide analogs in the organs of a mouse model of Fabry disease [Lipids]Fabry disease is a heritable lipid disorder caused by the low activity of α-galactosidase A and characterized by the systemic accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Recent studies have reported a structural heterogeneity of Gb3 in Fabry disease, including Gb3 isoforms with different fatty acids, and Gb3 analogs with modifications on the sphingosine moiety. However, Gb3 assays are often performed...

Indoor environmental quality and learning outcomes: protocol on large-scale sensor deployment in schoolsIntroductionExposure to poor environmental conditions has been associated with deterioration of physical and mental health, and with reduction of cognitive performance. Environmental conditions may also influence cognitive development of children, but epidemiological evidence is scant. In developed countries, children spend 930 hours per year in a classroom, second only to time spent in their bedroom....

Müllerian duct anomalies coincident with endometriosis: a review: AbstractThe association between obstructed müllerian duct anomalies and endometriosis has been well established and the pathogenesis is attributed to the theory of retrograde menstruation. However, this relationship with endometriosis is less clear in women with unobstructed müllerian duct anomalies and in those with rudimentary uterine structures that lack functioning endometrial tissue. This article reviews the embryology, genetics,...
Genetic Pathway in the Pathogenesis of Therapy-Related Myeloid Neoplasms: A Literature Review: AbstractTherapy-related myeloid neoplasms are a life-threatening and often fatal complication, associated with poor prognosis outcomes and with high-risk unfavorable cytogenetic abnormalities including complex karyotype. They occur after the treatment of primary malignancies using chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Such therapy is not specific to cancer cells, and also damages the deoxyribonucleic acid...
Dupuytren contracture: Dupuytren contracture: A localized formation of scar tissue in the palm of the hand within a tissue (fascia) beneath the skin of the palm that normally covers the tendons that pull the fingers into a grip. As Dupuytren's contracture progresses, more of the fascia becomes thickened and shortened. Dimpling and puckering of the skin over the area eventually occurs. The precise cause of of Dupuytren's contracture is not known. Causes include diabetes mellitus, seizure...
