Exploring the clinical translation intensity of papers published by the world's top scientists in basic medicine.

Unlabelled: The extent to which basic medical research is translated into clinical practice is a topic of interest to all stakeholders. In this study, we assessed the clinical translation intensity of papers published by scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the field of basic medicine (Lasker Prize winners for Basic Medical Research). Approximate Potential for Translation (APT), Translational science scores (TS), and Citations by clinical research (Cited by Clin.

Effect of cytokine-induced killer cells combined with dendritic cells on the survival rate and expression of 14-3-3ζ and p-Bad proteins in Lewis lung cancer cell lines.

In the present study, the function and mechanism of cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) combined with dendritic cells (DC-CIK) were examined in Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells. Co-culture of CIK dendritic cells (DC) was used to investigate their proliferation and the antitumor effects on LLC cells. DC and CIK cells were collected from healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and co-cultured as an experimental group, while LLC cells were cultured alone as a control group.

Ultrastructural pathology of rat lung injury induced by ischemic acute kidney injury.

Ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication during inpatient hospitalization, and often induces acute lung injury (ALI). A lot of studies have concentrated on the relevance between AKI and ALI, but the underlying mechanisms of AKI- associated ALI have remained unclear until now. One reason is that evidence of the ultrastructural pathology of AKI-associated ALI has been scarce and needed to be accumulated.

MMP1-1607 1G/2G polymorphism and lung cancer risk: a meta-analysis.

Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) plays an important role in the breakdown of extracellular matrix and mediates pathways of apoptosis, angiogenesis, and immunity. It has been demonstrated that MMP-1 overexpression is associated with tumor initiation, invasion, and metastasis. Many studies have investigated the association between MMP1-1607 1G/2G polymorphism and lung cancer risk, but the impact of MMP1-1607 1G/2G polymorphism on lung cancer is unclear owing to the obvious inconsistence among those studies.

14-3-3ζ Overexpression and abnormal β-catenin expression are associated with poor differentiation and progression in stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

Recent studies have shown that 14-3-3ζ interacted with other key cellular proteins involved in the tumor development and progression. Knowledge of 14-3-3ζ and β-catenin expression and clinical significance in the same tumor tissues is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression and significance of 14-3-3ζ and β-catenin in stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
