Breast cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in American women, and better preventative strategies are needed. Epidemiological and laboratory studies point to vitamin D3 as a promising chemopreventative agent for breast cancer. Vitamin D3 metabolites induce anti-proliferative effects in breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, but few studies have investigated their effects in nor...

breast cancer is the second main cause of death among women. the use of medicinal plants has been common in many countries since ancient times. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-proliferative potential of achillea millefolium l. the antioxidant activity of the aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts of achillea millefolium l. leaf and flower was measured by dpph and fra...

Satureja khuzestanica Jamzad (Marzeh Khuzestani in Persian) is an endemic plant that iswidely distributed in the southern part of Iran. Despite the number of papers published on thisplant, no one has focused on its anticancer effects. Therefore, the present study was designedto investigate the selective cytotoxic and anti-proliferative properties of satureja khuzestanicatotal extract (SKE). MCF...

We report a case of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with interstitial nephritis associated with multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) successfully treated with an anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody (tocilizumab). This mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with interstitial nephritis was resistant to methylprednisolone treatment; however, it was markedly improved with tocilizu...

Objective(s): Several beneficial effects have been attributed to the probiotic lactic acid bacteria. It was determined that lactobacilli can exert antiproliferative effects on the various cancer cell lines including colon cancer. Effects of lactic acid bacteria on colon cancer may vary from strain to strain and there is a need to find the new probiotic strains with tumor suppressing properties ...
