OBJECTIVE
To assess the validity of filter paper (FP) against the gold standard of passive drool (PD) for collecting salivary alpha amylase as a surrogate biomarker of psychological stress in adolescents with cancer.
METHODS
Part of a longitudinal, descriptive study of symptoms in adolescents with
Paclitaxel (PTX) is an effective antineoplastic agent and shows potent antitumor activity against a wide spectrum of cancers. Yet, the wide clinical use of PTX is limited by its poor aqueous solubility and the side effects associated with its current therapeutic formulation. To tackle these
Seventy five prostatic specimens from cancer, BPH and normal controls were studied by light microscopic histochemical methods for the demonstration of complex carbohydrates and some proteins: 1) alcian blue (AB) (pH 1.0), 2) alcian blue (AB) (pH 2.5), 3) Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), 4) peroxidase
Amarked increase in serum pancreatic lipase (PL) activity with minimal concurrent increase in serum alpha-amylase activity was observed in 6 dogs with pancreatic or hepatic neoplasia. Serum PL activity ranged from 5410 U/L to 42,900 U/L, 11 to 93 times the upper reference limit for our laboratory.
Background: Fluorescent metallic nanodots (NDs) have become a promising nanoprobe for a wide range of biomedical applications. Because Ag NDs have a high tendency to be oxidized, their synthesis and storage are a big challenge. Thus, the
Cigarette smoke (CS) is associated with a variety of human pathologies including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignancy of the head and neck. The major inducer of OSCC is exposure to tobacco. Recent studies demonstrated that oxidative and
The chemical composition of Succisa pratensis is not well known. The existing data indicate a substantial content of flavonoids, which include luteolin and apigenin 7-glucosides. The aim of this study was to elaborate the isolation protocol of these flavonoids from flowers and leaves of S.
YCP is a marine polysaccharide with anti-tumor and immune-modulating effects. This study evaluated the effect of enzymatic degradation of YCP by alpha-amylases from different origins on its immunological activity and binding ability to the macrophages. YCP was hydrolyzed by alpha-amylases isolated
Maitake α-glucan, YM-2A, isolated from Grifola frondosa, has been characterized as a highly α-1,6-branched α-1,4 glucan. YM-2A has been shown to possess an anti-virus effect in mice; however, it does not directly inhibit growth of the virus in vitro, indicating that the anti-virus effect of YM-2A
Previous studies showed that when pPSX-vioABCDE was used to transform E. coli K12 DH5alpha the strain retained the plasmid even after 100 generations of unselected growth but produced a low level of the anti-tumour antibiotic violacein. Markedly higher levels of violacein synthesis were obtained
Curcuma longa rhizome is used extensively in culinary preparations in Far East and South-East Asia. Health benefits of curcuminoids from C. longa as antioxidants, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory molecules have been well documented. We report here for the first time that Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC)
Stress can play an important role in development of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) by activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and altering the immune system. This study examined the influence of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met
This study aimed to reveal chemical profiles and biological activities of ethyl acetate (EA), methanol (MeOH), and water extracts of Lotus corniculatus. Ethnobotanical reports have indicated the importance of phytochemical properties of the genus Lotus. In this study, the effects of medicinal plant
BACKGROUND
Oxidative stress and inflammation may play a key role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). Lycopene, a natural carotenoid, has antioxidant scavenger capacity and inhibits inflammation in many experimental models.
OBJECTIVE
The study was designed to investigate whether lycopene
