the duration of local control of classic (non-aids-associated) kaposi's sarcoma by radiotherapy.we report the short- and long-term responses to radiotherapy of 82 classic kaposi's sarcomas. doses were prescribed ab initio and no attempt was made to discontinue treatment as soon as shrinkage was observed, as has been recommended by others. more than 50% of the lesions regressed completely and nearly all underwent some regression. almost all recurrences were detected within 2 years of treatment and virtually all occurred in lesions that had not regressed completely within 2 weeks of radiothe ...20103403746
autoregulated instability of beta-tubulin mrnas by recognition of the nascent amino terminus of beta-tubulin.tubulin synthesis in animal cells is controlled by an autoregulatory mechanism that modulates the stability of polysome-bound tubulin messenger rnas. the beta-tubulin rnas are selectively targeted as substrates for destabilization not through the recognition of specific rna sequences, but rather through co-translational recognition of the amino-terminal beta-tubulin tetrapeptide after its emergence from the ribosome. this motif is likely to be used in other systems where rna degradation is coupl ...20103405308

[immunomodulating properties of khlotazol].a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent khlotazol administered to rats in doses of 40-80 mg/kg for 5 days stimulated synthesis of igm- and igg-antibodies to ram erythrocytes and increased the number of antibody-forming cells (afc) and rosette-forming cells (rfc) in the spleen. when the doses were increased to 160-320 mg/kg, the stimulating effect of the drug on the production of hemagglutinins retained but dose-dependent inhibition of the number of afc and rfc was found. when administered in a do ...19883410037
