Analysis of Expression of the ANG1, CaSR and FAK Proteins in Uterine Fibroids.

Understanding the molecular factors involved in the development of uterine myomas may result in the use of pharmacological drugs instead of aggressive surgical treatment. ANG1, CaSR, and FAK were examined in myoma and peripheral tissue samples taken from women after myoma surgery and in normal uterine muscle tissue samples taken from the control group. Tests were performed using tissue microarray immunohistochemistry.

Effect of liming on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons leaching from hydrocarbon-contaminated tectogenic industriosol.

Soil stabilization/solidification is commonly employed remediation method for contaminated soils. Until now, limited attention has been given to the application of quicklime in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soil. We treated a tectogenic industriosol spiked with 50 mg kg of four PAHs (12.

Does anoxia promote the mobilization of P-bearing colloids from dam reservoir sediment?

In the context of a reservoir, the anoxia that develops in the bottom sediment induces the release of phosphorus (P) into the overlying water, thus supporting eutrophication. Most studies focusing on P dynamic in an aquatic environment fail to consider the "truly" dissolved and colloidal fractions, hence the colloidal P has gone largely unexplored. The aim of this study was to investigate the release of sedimentary P under oscillating aerobic, anoxic and aerobic conditions, in taking into account the colloidal (10 kDa-1 µm) and truly dissolved (< 10 kDa) fractions.

Immunohistochemical Expression of Vitamin D Receptor in Uterine Fibroids.

One of the many factors involved in the development of uterine fibroids is vitamin D deficiency. One aspect of this deficiency is decreased serum concentration of calcidiol-25(OH)D, a metabolite of D3 vitamin. The active form of vitamin D3, which arises after numerous enzymatic reactions, is calcitriol-1,25(OH)2D3; this compound is transported to various body tissues.

Expression of selected molecular factors in two types of endometrial cancer.

Background: Endometrial cancers (EC) are a heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms differing in etiology, clinical-pathological features and prognosis.

Objectives: To determine the differences between the expression of selected molecular factors and find connections between them in order to isolate possible biomarkers influencing treatment options.

Material And Methods: The investigated data involved archival histological preparations obtained from uterine EC samples taken from 137 patients, treated surgically between 2007 and 2014.
