Publication date: Available online 28 October 2019Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Annalisa Ferino, Valentina Rapozzi, Luigi E. XodoAbstractIn highly proliferating cancer cells oncogenic mutations reprogram the metabolism and increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cancer cells prevent ROS accumulation by upregulating antioxidant systems. Here we show that an increase of oxidative stress (ROS and singlet oxygen), generated by photoactivated...

Ramalingam, Naif Abdullah Al-Dhabi, Mariadhas Valan Arasu, A.K.M. Ghilan, V. Duraipandiayan, K. KaviyarasuAbstractTitanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) were synthesized using the aqueous leaf extract of Aloe barbadensis as a reducing and fabricating agent. The biosynthesis of the TiO2-NPs was initially confirmed...
In this report, using the solvothermal decomposition of Gadolinium (III) in the presence of Na3cit, monitored by surface modification with PEG and L-Cys. The synthesized nanoparticles were confirmed by the TEM, DLS and UV–Visible spectroscopy. The morphological results show normal distance across of the flawless Gd2O3-PEG-Cys-NPs show 7.9 ± 0.4 nm, discretely, with a thin size exchange. This infers the surface adjustment does not obviously alteration the center size of the Gd2O3-NPs when contrasted...

Conclusions The evidence for verb treatments is predominantly of a low level. There are encouraging findings in terms of treatments being replicable; however, this is tempered by poor monitoring of treatment fidelity. The quality of verb treatment research would be improved by researchers reaching consensus regarding outcome measures (including generalization to, e.g., sentences and discourse) by manualizing treatment to facilitate implementation and exploring the opinions of participants. Finally,...

Publication date: Available online 28 October 2019Source: Journal of Theoretical BiologyAuthor(s): Alberto Giaretta, Gianna Maria Toffolo, Timothy C. ElstonAbstractHigh risk forms of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) promote cancerous lesions and are implicated in almost all cervical cancer. Of particular relevance to cancer progression is regulation of the early promoter that controls gene expression in the initial phases of infection and can eventually lead to pre-cancer progression. Our goal was to...

Bakde, Brahmeshwar MishraABSTRACTNanocolloids are considered ideal carriers for hydrophobic drugs owing to their core–shell structure. Lapatinib is a potential anti-cancer agent, but its clinical use is limited because of its poor aqueous solubility, thus requiring larger oral doses with the associated...
ConclusionsOur quantitative approach provides a feasible clarification for the proliferation-to-invasion transition of in vitro tumor models (spheroids). Moreover, the transition time is a useful reference for the invasive potential of tumor cells.General significanceThis quantitative approach is potentially applicable to primary tumor cells, and thus has potential applications in the fields of cancer metastasis investigations and clinical diagnostics.

Being exposed to high levels of hydrazine can cause irreversible damage to human bodies. Hence, it is significant to explore an effective method to selectively recognize and detect it. In this work,...

CONCLUSIONS: It cannot be guaranteed that the use of mouthwash represents an independent risk factor for the development of head and neck cancer. However, the risk does increase when it occurs in association with other carcinogenic risk factors.

Authors: van der Waal I Abstract There is a distinct lack of uniformity in the definitions and clinical terminologies related to oral leukoplakia and leukoplakialike lesions and disorders. Proposals have been put forward to subclassify leukoplakia into a homogeneous and a non-homogeneous type based on color only, being either predominantly white or mixed whiteand-red, respectively, irrespective of the texture of the lesion. In this proposal there is no need anymore to regard the poorly...

A woman who sued The University of Kansas Health System for a misdiagnosis of pancreatic cancer quietly settled her case last year, apparently for millions. The settlement was confidential, but KCUR reports that a Kansas agency that provides excess insurance coverage for providers paid out $1.8 million. Those excess insurance payments suggest that the overall settlement exceeded several million dollars, KCUR reports. A spokeswoman for the system sa id it would have no comment on the settlement....
