Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is one of the rate-limiting enzymes in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and other eicosanoids. Recent studies have shown enhanced expression of COX-2 in cancer cells of several tissues. We investigated the expression of COX-2 and prostaglandin (PG) E 2 prod

A rapid ion-exchange method has been used to purify the alginate from the extracellular material of mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. The structure has been investigated by chemical analysis, infrared spectroscopy, paper chromatography, and
## Abstract The P‐glycoprotein (p170, P‐gp) encoded by human __MDR1__ gene functions as a pump to extrude anticancer drugs from cancer cells. Over‐expression of p170 is closely related to primary and induced drug resistance phenotype of tumor cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that expression
## Abstract We have recently shown that TNF is produced in liver rapidly after partial hepatectomy and that TNF can stimulate DNA synthesis of hepatocyte primary culture with its inhibition by interleukin 6 and transforming growth factor‐β, indicating a pivotal role of TNF and TNF‐driven cytokine i
