Is low TWEAK expression correlated to the progression of squamous cervical carcinoma?
TWEAK/Fn14 pathway may play a role in the development of squamous cervical carcinoma, in which the reduced level of TWEAK could promote the progression and invasion of cervical cancer. An increase in Fn14 may reflect a compensatory response to decreased TWEAK and may provide a novel therapeutic target for human cervical cancer treatment or a biomarker for cervical cancer diagnosis.
Hypertonic saline prevented intestinal tissue edema. In addition, hypertonic saline improved intestinal transit, possibly through more efficient transmission of muscle force through stiffer intestinal tissue.
