Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of circulating tumor necrosis factor after endotoxin administration.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the response to endotoxin is associated with a brief pulse of circulating tumor necrosis factor and that the resultant responses are effected through the cyclooxygenase pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in Patients With Unresectable Leiomyosarcoma: Results of a Phase II Trial

TL;DR: Gemcitabine plus docetaxel is tolerable and highly active in treated and untreated patients with LMS, and Hematologic toxicity was common, but neutropenic fever and bleeding events were rare.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased tumor necrosis factor alpha mRNA after cellular exposure to ionizing radiation

TL;DR: It is reported that tumor necrosis factor alpha mRNA is increased after treatment with x-rays in certain human sarcoma cells, and production of TNF-alpha may add to radiation lethality through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms.
Journal Article

A phase I trial of the novel proteasome inhibitor PS341 in advanced solid tumor malignancies.

TL;DR: It is safe and reasonable to recommend treatment with PS341 on the schedule used in this trial at 1.56 mg/m2/dose in Phase II trials, and particular care should be taken with patients with preexisting neuropathy.
Journal Article

Tumor necrosis factor and endotoxin induce similar metabolic responses in human beings.

TL;DR: TNF may represent the primary afferent signal that initiates many of the metabolic responses associated with sepsis and endotoxemia.
