Abstract:

Ultrasound hyperthermia is a new way to treat cancerous tumors. Retinoblastoma is one of the most common malignant ocular tumors in children. Since hyperthermia is an effective treatment for cancer cells, the effect of hyperthermia on retinoblastoma cells was investigated in this study. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of duration of 3 MHz ultrasound hyperthermia on Y79 cell death after 48 hours using MTT assay. In this study, the percentage of cell viability after 48 hours in treatment groups with a duration of hyperthermia more than 4 minutes was significantly different from the control group and in the treatment group with hyperthermia time of 9 minutes and 11 minutes, 50% and 69% of cells were killed, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that ultrasound hyperthermia may be a promising therapeutic option.

Evaluation of the Bystander effect caused ultrasound waves on the MCF-7 cell line

Introduction: Non-target radiation effects are damages and effects that occur without the need for direct radiation exposure in cells. Bystander signals cause non-targeted irradiation effect that has been defined as radiation responses in which non-irradiated cells exhibit irradiated effects as a result of signals from adjacent irradiated cells. In this study, the bystander ef...

Comparison of 864 MHz and 935 MHz microwave radiation effects on cell culture.

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of 864 MHz and 935 MHz radiofrequency/microwave radiation on the ability of V79 cells to proliferate, form colonies and on their viability. For one, two and three hours, the cells were exposed to the 864 MHz field in a transversal electromagnetic mode cell (TEM) connected with amplifier and to the 935 MHz field in a gigahertz transversal el...

Antiproliferative Effect of Aspirin on Colorectal Cancer Cell Line

Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Aspirin may have anticancer properties, and can be effective as a novel strategy for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxic effects of Aspirin drug in CRC cell lines compared with Oxaliplatin drug in vitro. Methods: Cell viability was assessed after treatment of SW742 and SW48...

Effect of Hydrostatic Pressure on Pc12 Cell Line

Purpose: The present study was designed to investigate the effect of hydrostatic pressure on cell viability, apoptosis induction, morphology and cell-substrate interactions of PC12 cells. Materials and Methods: PC12 as a neuronal cell line maintained in RPMI 1640 culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. PC12 cells were subjected to hydrostatic pressure. Experimental pressure con...
