TL;DR: In the 20 years since it was established that impairment of dihydrotestosterone formation is the cause of a rare form of human intersex, a wealth of information has accumulated about the genetics, endocrinology, and variable phenotypic manifestations, culminating in the cloning of cDNAs encoding two 5 alpha-reductase genes.
Abstract: In the 20 yr since it was established that impairment of dihydrotestosterone formation is the cause of a rare form of human intersex, a wealth of information has accumulated about the genetics, endocrinology, and variable phenotypic manifestations, culminating in the cloning of cDNAs encoding two 5 alpha-reductase genes and documentation that mutations in the steroid 5 alpha-reductase 2 gene are the cause of 5 alpha-reductase deficiency. Perplexing and difficult problems remain unresolved, e.g. whether the variability in manifestations is due to variable expressions of steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 or to effects of testosterone itself. It is also imperative to establish whether defects in steroid 5 alpha-reductase 2, perhaps in the heterozygous state, are responsible for a portion of cases of sporadic hypospadias, to determine whether 5 alpha-reductase plays a role in progesterone action in women, and to elucidate the relation between androgen action and gender role behavior.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that LRP mediates uptake and degradation of urokinase-type plasminogen activator-plasminogens activator inhibitor 1 complexes and proposed that the inability of the giant cells to remove the inactive protease complexes from their surfaces interferes with implantation of the embryo.

TL;DR: Recommendations are yielded on using hypoxia measurement to identify patients who would respond best to radiation therapy, which would improve treatment planning and represent a narrow focus, as hypoxIA measurement might also prove useful in drug development and in increasing the understanding of tumor biology.

TL;DR: This data indicates that pre-emptive surgery is a viable option for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis in women with pre-operative indications and this work’s results support this view.

TL;DR: It is indicated that production of TNF-alpha by cardiac myocytes is sufficient to cause severe cardiac disease and support a causal role for this cytokine in the pathogenesis of human cardiac disease.
Abstract: Background—Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a multifunctional cytokine that has been detected in several human cardiac-related conditions, including congestive heart failure and septic cardiomyopathy. In these conditions, the origin of TNF-α secretion is, at least in part, cardiac myocytes. Methods and Results—To determine the consequences of TNF-α production by cardiac myocytes in vivo, we developed transgenic mice in which expression of a murine TNF-α coding sequence was driven by the murine α-myosin heavy chain promoter. Four transgenic founders developed an identical illness consisting of tachypnea, decreased activity, and hunched posture. In vivo, ECG-gated MRI of symptomatic transgenic mice documented a severe impairment of cardiac function evidenced by biventricular dilatation and depressed ejection fractions. All transgenic mice died prematurely. Pathological examination of affected animals revealed a globular dilated heart, bilateral pleural effusions, myocyte apoptosis, and transmural myocardi...
