Abstract Background Blockade of the angiotensin (ANG) II type 1 receptor (AT1R) inhibits tumour growth in several cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases.While AT1R blockade has been extensively studied, the potential of targeting the antagonistically acting AT2R in cancer has not been investigated.This study examined the effect
Efficacy and Tolerability of Two Quadruple Regimens: Bismuth, Omeprazole, Metronidazole with Amoxicillin or Tetracycline as First-Line Treatment for Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori in Patients with Duodenal Ulcer: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
AimTo evaluate the Paddles efficacy and tolerability of tetracycline vs.high-dose amoxicillin in bismuth-based quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) eradication.MethodsThis randomized, open-label clinical trial included 228 patients with H.pylori infection and duodenal ulcer without a history of H.pylori treatment.Patients were random
Co-assortment in integron-associated gene cassette assemblages in environmental DNA samples
Abstract Background It has been shown that integron-associated gene cassettes exist largely in tandem arrays of variable size, ranging from antibiotic resistance arrays of three to five cassettes up to arrays of more than 100 cassettes associated with the vibrios.Further, the ecology of the integron/gene cassette system has been investigated by sho
