Question: Mammalian thioredoxin reductases (TrxR) are selenoproteins with important roles in antioxidant defense and redox regulation, principally linked to functions of their main substrates thioredoxins (Trx). All major forms of TrxR are intracellular while levels in serum are typically very low.', 'Serum TrxR levels were determined with immunoblotting using antibodies against mouse TrxR1 and total enzyme activity measurements were performed, with serum and tissue samples from mouse models of liver injury, as triggered by either thioacetamide (TAA) or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).', 'TrxR levels in serum increased upon treatment and correlated closely with those of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), an often used serum biomarker for liver damage. In contrast, Trx1, glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase or selenium-containing glutathione peroxidase levels in serum displayed much lower increases than TrxR or ALT.

Question: Uterine leiomyomas are the most frequent benign tumors during reproductive age. Whether intramural leiomyomas cause infertility and should be removed is controversial because no study has addressed the underlying mechanism of infertility.', 'The objective of the study was to test the effect of intramural leiomyomas on endometrial function by comparing gene during the window of implantation and implantation in an oocyte donation program, in which the quality of the embryos replaced is similar and the endocrine environment of the endometrium is standardized by exogenous steroids.', 'Human endometria of women with single intramural leiomyomas (group A, <5 cm and group B, > or =5 cm) and controls (group C) were collected on day LH+7 and processed for histology and gene expression analysis, using different methods and validated by quantitative RT-PCR. To compare in vitro fertilization outcome, a total of 1035 cases from our oocyte donation database were included, comprising patients with one fibroid less than 5 cm (A1, n = 532); two leiomyomas less than 5 cm (A2, n = 128); three or more leiomyomas less than 5 cm (A3, n = 125); one fibroid 5 cm or greater (B, n = 22); and two control groups: C1 (n = 93), women with previous myomectomy; and C2 (n = 135), women without uterine pathology treated on the same dates as C1.', "There was a strong positive and negative correlation in the expression profile of 69 genes according to the leiomyomas's size, but only three of the 25 genes related to the window of implantation were dysregulated. Term pregnancy rates after oocyte donation were 36.9, 34.1, 39.0, 36.4, 39.2, and 42.6% (P = 0.769) among the established groups. Similarly, no correlation between implantation and miscarriage with leiomyoma number and size was found.

Question: To compare prognosis of clival chordomas with different dural penetration, and establish the relationship between dural penetration and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)- signaling pathway.', 'Tumors in Type I (33 cases) showed limited dural penetration, while those in Type II (34 cases) had more serious dural penetration. Cox multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze risk factors affecting survival. Kaplan-Meier analysis measured overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). To determine relationship between dural penetration and PDGFR- signaling, expression of PDGFR-, Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression was compared using immunohistochemistry, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and western blotting.', 'Total resection was achieved in nine cases in Type I and eleven in Type II. There were significant correlations between OS and dural penetration (P=0.032) and age (P=0.034). PFS correlated significantly with dural penetration (P=0.022), gender (P=0.001), and degree of resection (P=0.001). Mean OS in Type I was significantly longer than in Type II (P=0.046). Patients aged <55 years had longer OS than those aged 55 years (P=0.004). Total resection was correlated with longer PFS (P=0.011). Among patients with tumor totally resected, mean PFS in Type I was significantly longer than in Type II (P=0.007). Expression of PDGFR- in Type II was higher than in Type I.
