Metolazone in Diuretic Refractory Ascites
Background: Refractory ascites occurs in about 10% of patients with cirrhosis and ascites. Available treatment options are invasive and costly procedures with significant complication rates. We hypothesized that adding metolazone; thiazide like diuretic, to conventional diuretics in these diuretic …

Repair in Ehrlich Ascites Tumor Cells
… repair, was induced in freshly drawn Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (EAT), using ionizing radiation, far ultraviolet light (254 nm) or near UV light (365 nm) in combination with 8-methoxypsoralen. UDS was scored by grain counts in autoradiographs following the incorporation of tritium-labelled …

Quality of Care in Patients with Cirrhosis and Ascites, Hepatic Encephalopathy or Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
… clinical practice in patients with cirrhosis and ascites, hepatic encephalopathy (HE), or spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP).</p> <p>Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of the UPMC EMR database (2009-2014) with access to full outpatient and limited inpatient data was conducted to …

Purification, characterization and substrate specificity of a nuclear mRNA (Guanine-7)-Methyltransferase from Ehrlich ascites cells
… about 280-fold from the nucleoplasm of Ehrlich ascites cells. This enzyme activity was elevated eight fold in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells when compared to the methyl transferase activity from normal mouse liver cells. The enzyme catalyzed the methyl group transfer from S-adenosylmethionine to a …

ELUCIDATING THE IMPACT OF ASCITES ON HIGH GRADE SEROUS OVARIAN CANCER THROUGH MULTIPLE IN VITRO PATIENT-SPECIFIC MODELS
… 3D spheroids revealed a model-specific effect of ascites, with a downregulation of genes involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and in inflammatory response in 2D cells, and an upregulation of proliferation and glycolysis in 3D spheres. Additionally, we identified a common effect of AF on …

Biodistribution Studies of 64Cu-DOTA-Cetuximab after Intraperitoneal and Intravenous Injection in a Malignant Ascites Mouse Model of Human Gastric Carcinoma
… malignant diseases including malignant ascites (MA) in gastric cancer. We conducted a comparative biodistribution study of 64Cu-DOTAcetuximab in subcutaneous (SQ) tumor and MA mouse models. A mouse xenograft model of bilateral SQ tumors that express epidermal growth factor receptor …

The Involvement of the Cyclooxygenase Enzymes in the Gallus Domesticus Model of Ovarian Cancer
… (VEGF) mRNA and protein were also determined in ascites cells collected from hens with ovarian cancer. VEGF was previously associated with COX-1 expression in human ovarian cancer and is implicated in the etiology of ovarian cancer, including ascites formation. We found a significant increase in …

LOCOREGIONAL DELIVERY OF UNMETHYLATED CPG-OLIGODEOXYNUCLEOTIDES TO CANCER THERAPY: PRECLINICAL STUDIES
… tumor site might control tumor cell growth and ascites formation. After a single CpG-ODN treatment, in IGROV-1 ovarian tumor ascites-bearing athymic mice, the number of tumor cells declined rapidly and markedly, and ascites volumes declined shortly after treatment (5 h), increasing thereafter at …

Cardiac biomarkers (NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin-I) and point-of-care ultrasound in dogs with cardiac and non-cardiac causes of non-hemorrhagic ascites
Background: Non-hemorrhagic ascites (NHA) can be caused by cardiac diseases (cNHA) and non-cardiac diseases (ncNHA). N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may differentiate between cNHA and ncNHA. Hypothesis/Objectives: This …

Metabolic Adaptations of Ovarian Cancer Metastases to Physiological Conditions and Disease Progression
… the physiological conditions within malignant ascites (hypoxia and low glucose), represent a physiological environment that can impact the metabolic responses of ovarian cancer spheroids. Here, we investigated the metabolic adaptations of serous ovarian cancer cells across the metastatic cycle …

Local Inflammatory Responses in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei
… the accumulation of massive amounts of mucinous ascites. Little is known about the tumor microenvironment that might give insight into the local inflammatory processes in the peritoneal cavity. The aim of this study was to characterize this tumor microenvironment in terms of cytokine expression, …

Investigation of the cancer testis antigen lactate dehydrogenase C as a CD8 T cell target
… LDHC-specific T cells were present in the ascites of HGSC patients. A standard Rapid Expansion Protocol was used to expand CD8 T cell cultures from patient ascites. These cultures were screened for reactivity to a peptide library encompassing all possible epitopes of the LDHC protein by …

Minor form of human 5.8s ribosomal RNA
… of a Ribose Transmethylase from Ehrlich Ascites Cells A filter binding assay was developed for measuring ribose transmethylase activity in cell extracts and was used to quantify ribose and base transmethylase in Ehrlich ascites cells and normal mouse liver. Ribose and base transmethylase …
