Diagnosis and Treatment of Diffuse Cavernous Hemangioma of the Rectum: Report of 17 Cases published on Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:44:06 +0100 Conclusion  DCHR is often misdiagnosed. Preoperative colonoscopy and MRI are essential in making the correct diagnosis and to depict the extent of the lesion accurately. Due to its origination from the dentate line and the involvement of the whole layer of the rectal wall and the rectal mesentery, the treatment of choice for DCHR is complete resection by the pull-through transection and coloanal anastomosis.

SOCS1, a Negative Regulator of Cytokine Signals and TLR Responses, in Human Liver Diseases published on Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:21:38 +0100 Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways are strictly coordinated by several mechanisms to regulate adequate innate immune responses. Recent lines of evidence indicate that the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family proteins, originally identified as negative-feedback regulators in cytokine signaling, are involved in the regulation of TLR-mediated immune responses. SOCS1, a member of SOCS family, is strongly induced upon TLR stimulation. Cells lacking SOCS1 are hyperresponsive to TLR stimulation. Thus, SOCS1 is an important regulator for both cytokine and TLR-induced responses. As an immune organ, the liver contains various types of immune cells such as T cells, NK cells, NKT cells, and Kupffer cells and is continuously challenged with gut-derived bacterial and dietary antigens....<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Register for<b><a href="http://www.medmatcha.com" target ="_self">MedMatcha, MedWorm's medical advertising network</a></b>, and receive $5 free advertising.</p></div> Other details at http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3926114&cid=d_17_17_f&fid=37027&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hindawi.com%2Fjournals%2Fgrp%2F2010%2F470468.html
