Expression of Cyclooxygenase-1 and 2 in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: A Clinicopathologic Study.

Background: To examine the rate and degree of expression of Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and associated with clinicopathological factors and survival.

Methods: EOC patients being treated in our institute with available pathological tissue sections during 1996-2003 were identified. Immunohistochemical staining with antibody to COX-1 and COX-2 were studied.

Expression of cyclooxygenase-1 in epithelial ovarian cancer: a clinicopathological study.

Objective: To determine immunohistochemical expression of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and its association with clinical features and prognosis.

Methods: EOC patients treated in Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Medical College and Vajira Hospital during 1996-2003, and with available pathological tissue sections, were identified. Immunohistochemical staining was accomplished with antibodies to COX-1 and degree of expression was categorized into low and high for assessment of any.

Runaway youths and correlating factors, study in Thailand.

Objective: To study differences between runaways and non-runaways in a mental health clinic and to study differences between runaways in a mental health clinic and legal / shelter system.

Material And Method: Psychiatric records of runaways and non-runaways from Vajira Hospital were collected from June 1994 to October 2003. 21 cases in each group were studied in various factors.

Bone mineral density in premenopausal women with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Objective: To study bone mineral density (BMD) in premenopausal women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to evaluate the influence of disease activity and use of corticosteroids.

Methods: A cross-sectional study on BMD of 118 premenopausal women with SLE. Patients were divided into 2 groups, 74 who had been treated with corticosteroids and 44 who had not.

Comparative study of bulky stage IB and IA cervical cancer patients treated by radical hysterectomy with and without neoadjuvant chemotherapy: long-term follow-up.

One hundred and ninety patients with bulky (> 3 cm) stage IB and IIA cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy between 1991 and 1994 at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital were reviewed to determine whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with MVAC (Methotrexate, Vinblastine, Adriamycin, Cisplatin) improved survival. There were 42 patients treated with pre-operataive NAC (MVAC 1-3 courses) and 148 patients treated by primary surgery (PS). In the NAC group, the overall response rate from MVAC was 88.

Comparison of ondansetron-dexamethasone-lorazepam versus metoclopramide-dexamethasone-lorazepam in the control of cisplatin induced emesis.

The antiemetic effect of ondansetron-dexamethasone-lorazepam versus those of metoclopramide-dexamethasone-lorazepam were evaluated in 30 ovarian cancer patients undergoing treatment with the same chemotherapeutic regimen (cisplatin 60 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 700 mg/m2). Patients were randomly selected to receive either the ondansetron arm or the metoclopramide arm in their first cycle of chemotherapy, but were given an alternative combination in the second cycle. In the ondansetron arm, ondansetron was given 8 mg intravenously (i.

Risk for radical hysterectomy failure.

During the period from July 1983 to December 1996, 685 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy as their primary treatment for cervical cancer and had optimal follow-up for at least three years were analyzed. Fifty seven patients (8.3%) had pelvic nodes metastasis and received postoperative whole pelvic radiation.

The long term results of internal fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.

One hundred and fourteen displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus (47 tongue type and 67 joint depression type) were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with multiple H plate and were followed-up for an average of 6.75 years. All the fractures healed radiographically in 3 months.
