Matter of O'malley v. Consolidated Edison Company of New York (2003)
…Third Department, reversed. It noted that nobody disputed the roughly 25 years of asbestos exposure at work. Gould relied on that exposure and on features in the medical records, including a tissue reaction in the biopsy…

Can serum inflammatory parameters estimate outcome of pleurodesis in mesothelioma?
…be desirable. This study was aimed to investigate whether systemic inflammatory reaction induced by insuflation of talc into the pleura can predict the outcome of pleurodesis. A total of 58 consecutive patients (26 men, 32 women…

Mesothelioma and environmental exposure
…Under the microscope, liver tissue was unchanged, and there was a foreign-body type granulomatous reaction with multinucleated giant cells. No signs of mesothelioma were seen in either the exposed or the control groups. The authors…

Cutaneous toxicity after intradermal vaccination with Mycobacterium vaccae against lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma
This letter reported two patients at the Royal Marsden Hospital who developed unusual skin reactions after injections into the skin of SRL172, a heat-killed Mycobacterium vaccae vaccine being tested against cancer. The first, a 52…

Regression of AK7 malignant mesothelioma established in immunocompetent mice following intratumoral gene transfer of interferon gamma
…10% with a control virus. The authors concluded that local interferon gamma had antitumor activity in this model. They noted that the immune reaction was not enough to produce an efficient memory response, since tumors relapsed.

Epithelial mesothelioma with deciduoid features: report of four cases
Deciduoid mesothelioma is the designation given to an unusual morphologic variant of epithelial mesothelioma that closely simulates exuberant ectopic decidual reaction. Because all four previously reported cases involved the peritoneum and occurred in young women without…

Absence of SV-40 large T antigen (Tag) in malignant mesothelioma effusions: an immunocytochemical study
…a function of a nuclear protein, the large T antigen (Tag). SV-40 Tag DNA sequences are detected by the polymerase chain reaction in 40-80% of malignant mesothelial proliferations. However, the role of immunohistochemistry (IHC…

Simian virus (SV) 40 like sequences in cell lines and tumour biopsies from Australian malignant mesotheliomas
…its gene products in tissue derived from mesotheliomas would detract from this possibility. We used polymerase chain reaction from three pairs of primers to amplify different regions of the large T antigen from DNA from cell…

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase is strongly expressed in malignant mesothelioma but does not associate with vascular density or the expression of VEGF, FLK1 or FLT1
…Two mesothelioma (M14K, M38K) and one non-neoplastic mesothelial cell line (MET-5A) were studied for eNOS mRNA expression by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Vascular density was determined by staining the samples with…

Expression and integrity of DNA topoisomerase II isoforms does not explain generic drug resistance in malignant mesothelioma
…Coupled with this, we have previously noted a common serological reaction to the beta isoform of topoisomerase II, suggesting that it may be aberrantly expressed in patients with mesothelioma. We assessed the expression of topoisomerase II…
