Association of FcγRIIa (CD32a) with lipid rafts regulates ligand binding activity (2009)
Journal Article
Bournazos, S., Hart, S. P., Chamberlain, L. H., Glennie, M. J., & Dransfield, I. (2009). Association of FcγRIIa (CD32a) with lipid rafts regulates ligand binding activity. Journal of Immunology, 182(12), 8026-8036. https://doi.org/10.4049/jimmunol.0900107

Binding of Igs to myeloid cells via FcR is a key event in the control of innate and acquired immunity. FcγRIIa (CD32a) is a receptor for multivalent IgG expressed predominantly by myeloid cells, and its association with microdomains rich in cholester...

BACKGROUND Although malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare tumour, its incidence is increasing. The prognosis remains very poor with an average survival of 10 months from diagnosis. The choice of chemotherapy regimens for mesothelioma patients is l... Read More about COX-2 specific inhibitors enhance the cytotoxic effects of pemetrexed in mesothelioma cell lines.

Randomized clinical trial of concomitant or sequential phlebectomy after endovenous laser therapy for varicose veins (2009)
Journal Article
Carradice, D., Mekako, A. I., Hatfield, J., & Chetter, I. C. (2009). Randomized clinical trial of concomitant or sequential phlebectomy after endovenous laser therapy for varicose veins. British journal of surgery, 96(4), 369-375. https://doi.org/10.1002/bjs.6556

Background: The management of residual varicosities following endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) for varicose veins is contentious. Ambulatory phlebectomy may be performed concomitantly with the initial EVLT, or sequentially as a secondary procedure. Th...

Kinematic gait adaptations in unilateral transtibial amputees during rehabilitation (2009)
Journal Article

Introduction: Physiotherapists routinely prescribe the use of two different early walking aids (EWAs) to individuals who have recently undergone unilateral transtibial amputation. No research to date has investigated the kinematic gait patterns of tr... Read More about Kinematic gait adaptations in unilateral transtibial amputees during rehabilitation.

Combination of sitaxentan and tadalafil for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension following relapse on bosentan (2009)
Journal Article

Sitaxentan, a highly-selective endothelin receptor antagonist (ETRA) and bosentan a non-selective ETRA are both approved for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH). Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor use... Read More about Combination of sitaxentan and tadalafil for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension following relapse on bosentan.

Intravenous administration of CP-4055 (ELACYT (TM)) in patients with solid tumours. A phase I study (2009)
Journal Article
Dueland, S., Aamdal, S., Lind, M. J., Thomas, H., Sandvold, M. L., Gaullier, J.-M., & Rasch, W. (2009). Intravenous administration of CP-4055 (ELACYT (TM)) in patients with solid tumours. A phase I study. Acta Oncologica, 48(1), 137-145. https://doi.org/10.1080/02841860802183620

Purpose. Cytarabine (ara-C) has limited activity in solid tumours. CP-4055 (ELACYTT) is a novel ara-C-5'-elaidic acid ester that may circumvent this limitation. CP-4055 maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity have been i... Read More about Intravenous administration of CP-4055 (ELACYT (TM)) in patients with solid tumours.
