When we list the infections brought to the New World from the Old, however, we find most of humanity's worst afflictions, among them smallpox, malaria, yellow fever, measles, cholera, typhoid, and bubonic plague. continued.
The present study was carried out to detect the prevalence of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) as well as to evaluate the clinical characteristics of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC.
1 Allergic lung inflammation is mediated by soluble tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and attenuated by dominant-negative TNF biologics. 2  This study suggested that TNF-alpha -308GG and G gene polymorphism was associated with a modest decrease in the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in a Chinese population. TNF-alpha -1031CC genotype was a risk factor for CP, and that TNF-alpha -308AA genotype was a risk factor for AgP. 2  But there is a lack of association of TNF-alpha -857C/T and -238G/A polymorphisms with susceptibility to AgP or CP in a Chinese population.
