Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are a group of rare and severe immune-mediated disorders that affect the nervous system in patients with cancer. The best way to diagnose paraneoplastic disorder is identify anti-onconeural protein antibodies specifically associated various cancers. aim this multicentric study was clinically immunologically characterize PNS their association Patients ...

obesity is an important public health problem and major risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer. adipose tissue is the major component involved in the control of the metabolism through energy homeostasis, adipocyte differentiation, insulin sensitivity and the activation of anti-inflammatory metabolic and immune pathways. leptin and adiponectin pathways are involved in proliferation process...

objective(s): artemisia is a genus of herbs and small shrubs forms an important part of natural vegetation in iran. it has been reported that several artemisia species possess anti-proliferative effects. considering the value of this genus in anti-cancer researches we have chosen artemisia biennis for cytotoxic and mechanistic studies. materials and methods:in this study we have investigated th...

background: chronic myeloid leukemia is a common cancer in human and chemical therapy is a routine method for treatment that has some side effects. so the goal of this study was the use of natural compound such as cell wall obtained from saccharomyces cerevisiae ( s. cerevisiae ) and saccharomyces boulardi ( s. boulardi ) and iron nanoparticles on the growth inhibition of k562 cell line. method...

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. associated with a high mortality rate and health-related economic burden. patients have low 5-year life expectancy when diagnosed at advanced stages. Besides, emergence of chemoresistance breast has led to an intense search for alternative anticancer agents. One potential compounds Piperine. Several studies had found that Piperine ...

ABSTRACT The activity of flavonoids as anti-cancer compounds has attracted the attention researchers. Flavonoids are natural found in various plants and have been identified potential candidates for drugs. multiple mechanisms action, including inhibiting cancer cell growth, inducing apoptosis, formation new blood vessels. also possess antioxidant properties that protect normal cells from oxidat...

cancer is not just one disease, but a large group of almost one hundred diseases. its two main characteristics are uncontrolled growth of the cells in the human body and the ability of these cells to migrate from the original site and spread to distant sites. if the spread is not controlled, cancer can result in death. there has been continuous progress in the development of therapy for cancer....

saffron, the dried red-orange stigmas of crocus sativus l, has been known as a flavoring agent, food coloring and traditional herbal medicine. pharmacological effects of saffron are mainly attributed to crocin, crocetin, picrocrocin and safranal. these components especially crocin, have significant effects including antidepressant and anticonvulsant, analgesic, anti-cancer and other therapeutic...

A prototype for a web application was designed and implemented as a guide to be used by clinicians when designing the best drug therapy for a specific cancer patient, given biological data derived from the patients tumor tissue biopsy. A representation of the patients metabolic pathways is displayed as a graph in the application, with nodes as substrates and products and edges as enzymes. The t...

We previously reported the role of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) in response to anti-cancer drugs. The decreased expression of HDAC3 in anti-cancer drug-resistant cancer cell line is responsible for the resistance to anti-cancer drugs. In this study, we investigated molecular mechanisms associated with regulation of HDAC3 expression. MG132, an inhibitor of proteasomal degradation, induced the e...
