Material Methods. C57Bl/6 were used. The animals the experimental group intraperitoneally injected with a 5 nM miRNA simulator (mimic) 8th, 10th, 12th days after B-16 cell transplantation. Based results bioinforma...

Objective(s):Tumor-associated antigen (TAA) subunit-based vaccines constitute promising tools for anticancer immunotherapy. However, a major limitation in the development of such vaccines is the poor immunogenicity of peptides when used alone.The aim of this study was to develop an efficient vaccine delivery system and adjuvant to enhance anti-tumor activity of a synthetic HER2/neu derived pept...

malignant germ-cell tumors (mgct) are rare tumors of childhood accounting for less than 3% of pediatric malignancies. endodermal sinus tumor (est) forms the most common histologic subtype of mgct. the vagina is an extremely rare site for gcts. an 8-month-old female was admitted with a short history of vaginal bleeding, and a mass protruding from the vagina. she was pale and a mass was palpable ...

purpose: to recognize affective factors in delivering x-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   materials and methods: since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). x-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   results: radio...
