Does restoration of FGF receptor type 2 enhance radiosensitivity of hormone-refractory human prostate carcinoma PC-3 cells?
These results indicate that restoration of FGFR2IIIb to PC-3 cells enhances their sensitivity to irradiation through acceleration of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.
The intrathecal injection of a low dose of bupivacaine-fentanyl does not affect the MTC if the catheter is placed in the epidural space; however, it does affect the threshold if the catheter is placed intrathecally. We also confirm that the EST can help to determine the position of the epidural catheter prior to injection of the test dose. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00464841).
