Gingival pain: an unusual side effect of ziprasidone.

BMJ Case Rep. 2013 , doi:10.1136/bcr-2012-007577, (2013)

The patient is a 52-year-old man with schizophrenia who developed severe, unremitting gingival pain after his ziprasidone dosage was increased from 80 to 120 mg. His physical examination and laboratory findings were unremarkable. He did not have any extra-pyr...

An in vivo antilymphatic screen in zebrafish identifies novel inhibitors of mammalian lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic-mediated metastasis.

Mol. Cancer Ther. 13(10) , 2450-62, (2014)

The growth of new lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis) in tumors is an integral step in the metastatic spread of tumor cells, first to the sentinel lymph nodes that surround the tumor and then elsewhere in the body. Currently, no selective agents designed to...

SND-117, a sinomenine bivalent alleviates type II collagen-induced arthritis in mice.

Int. Immunopharmacol. 26 , 423-31, (2015)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that affects about 1% of the population worldwide. RA is mainly manifested by persistent synovitis and progressive joint destruction. The aim of the present study was to examine the anti-a...

miR-142-5p and miR-130a-3p are regulated by IL-4 and IL-13 and control profibrogenic macrophage program.

Nat. Commun. 6 , 8523, (2015)

Macrophages play a pivotal role in tissue fibrogenesis, which underlies the pathogenesis of many end-stage chronic inflammatory diseases. MicroRNAs are key regulators of immune cell functions, but their roles in macrophage's fibrogenesis have not been charact...

Methotrexate in combination with other DMARDs is not superior to methotrexate alone for remission induction with moderate-to-high-dose glucocorticoid bridging in early rheumatoid arthritis after 16 weeks of treatment: the CareRA trial.

Ann. Rheum. Dis. 74(1) , 27-34, (2015)

To compare the efficacy and safety of intensive combination strategies with glucocorticoids (GCs) in the first 16 weeks (W) of early rheumatoid arthritis (eRA) treatment, focusing on high-risk patients, in the Care in early RA trial.400 disease-modifying anti...

The Order and Place of Neuronal Differentiation Establish the Topography of Sensory Projections and the Entry Points within the Hindbrain.

J. Neurosci. 35 , 7475-86, (2015)

Establishing topographical maps of the external world is an important but still poorly understood feature of the vertebrate sensory system. To study the selective innervation of hindbrain regions by sensory afferents in the zebrafish embryo, we mapped the fin...

Immunosuppressive treatment for nephrotic idiopathic membranous nephropathy: a meta-analysis based on Chinese adults.

PLoS ONE 7(9) , e44330, (2012)

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is the most common pathological type for nephrotic syndrome in adults in western countries and China. The benefits and harms of immunosuppressive treatment in IMN remain controversial.To assess the efficacy and safety o...

Inhibition of the mitochondrial pyrimidine biosynthesis enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase by doxorubicin and brequinar sensitizes cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.

Oncogene 33(27) , 3538-49, (2014)

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising agent in selectively killing tumor cells. However, TRAIL monotherapy has not been successful as many cancer cells are resistant to TRAIL. Chemotherapeutic agents, such as doxorubic...

LC-MS/MS Method for Determination of Teriflunomide, Over a 40,000-Fold Dynamic Range Using Overlapping Calibrators.

Ther. Drug Monit. 37 , 472-8, (2015)

A liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been validated for use in therapeutic monitoring of the drug leflunomide in human serum and plasma. Because of concerns of teratogenicity, it is recommended that women who want to become p...
