Does metabolic response at repeat PET/CT predict pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in oesophageal cancer?
There was a significant association between metabolic response and pathological response; however, accuracy in predicting pathological response was relatively low.
Erythromycin prevented renal injuries without changes of blood glucose levels and blood pressure in experimental diabetic rats. These results suggest that the renoprotective effects of erythromycin are based on its anti-inflammatory effect via suppression of NF-kappaB activation. Modulation of microinflammation with erythromycin may provide a new approach for diabetic nephropathy.
