    • Inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase improves gas exchange in ventilator-induced lung injury after pneumonectomy. 

      Suborov, Evgeny; Smetkin, Alexey Anatolievich; Kondratyev, Timofey; Valkov, Andrey Yurjevich; Kuzkov, Vsevolod; Kirov, Mikhail; Bjertnæs, Lars J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volumes may cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and enhanced generation of nitric oxide (NO). We demonstrated in sheep that pneumonectomy followed by injurious ventilation promotes pulmonary edema. We wished both to test the hypothesis that neuronal NOS (nNOS), which is distributed in airway epithelial and neuronal tissues, could be involved in the ...
    • Prognostic impact of Skp2, ER and PGR in male and female patients with soft tissue sarcomas

      BACKGROUND: S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) is a member of mammalian F-box proteins. The purpose of this study is to clarify the prognostic significance of expression of Skp2 related to gender, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PGR) in soft tissue sarcomas (STS). Optimized treatment of STS requires better identification of high-risk patients who will benefit from adjuvant ...
    • Prognostic Impacts of Hypoxic Markers in Soft Tissue Sarcoma 

      Smeland, Eivind; Kilvær, Thomas Karsten; Sørbye, Sveinung Wergeland; Valkov, Andrey Yurjevich; Andersen, Sigve; Bremnes, Roy M.; Busund, Lill-Tove; Dønnem, Tom (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      We aimed to explore the prognostic impact of the hypoxia-induced factors (HIFαs) 1 and 2, the metabolic HIFregulated glucose transporter GLUT-1, and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) in non-gastrointestinal stromal tumor soft tissue sarcomas (non-GIST STS). Methods. Duplicate cores with viable tumor tissue from206 patients with non-GIST STS were obtained and tissue microarrays were constructed. ...
