Does parenteral nutrition stimulate tumor proliferation in malnourished gastric cancer patients?
The present study suggests that PN does not stimulate tumor proliferation in malnourished patients affected by gastric cancer.
The increased CCL2 and TNFalpha in PTB patients may support effective leucocyte recruitment and M. tuberculosis localization. CCL2 alone is associated with severity of TB, possibly due to increased systemic inflammation found in severe disseminated TB or due to increased monocyte infiltration to lung parenchyma in pulmonary disease.
