Background and aims: The aim of this study was the modeling of the incidence rates of Colorectal, breast and prostate cancers using a shared component model in order to explore the spatial pattern of their shared risk factors (i.e., obesity and low physical activity) affecting on cancer incidence, and also to estimate the relative weight of these shared components. Methods: In this study,...

The present study was designed to investigate the in-vitro morphological assessment of apoptotic effect caused by nimbolide on the selected cancer cell lines (DU-145, PC-3, A-549) and normal cell lines (NIH3T3, CCD-18Co). The cells were grown in 6 well tissue culture plates after treatment with different concentrations of nimbolide and untreated control cells. Apoptotic and necrotic ce...

Objective: Anti-cancer drug research plays an important role for chemotherapeutic treatments in various types of cancer. Pyrolidine derived compounds have been reported by many researchers to be a potent anti-cancer compound. It is aimed investigate the effects pyrolidine-derived that are thought new candidates with antiproliferative activity on DLD-1 and CCD-18CO cell lines. Material Methods: ...

Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to detect the organic compounds of Onopordon leptolepis DC. and also evaluate the anticancer and anti-oxidant effects of the plant extract on CaCO2 cells. Materials and Methods: The effective compounds of air branches of Onopordon leptolepis DC. were studied using phytochemicals methods. Using GC-MS device the components of  ethanolic extract ...

colorectal cancer (crc) is the second leading cause of cancer death. progress has been made in the development of chemotherapy for advanced crc. targeted therapies against vegf or egfr are now commonly used. however, many cases show that tolerance develops to such treatments; therefore, new strategies are required to replace or complement current therapies. nuclear factor-?b (nf-?b) transcripti...

a series of fluoroquinolone derivatives holding triazolidindione moieties have been synthesized and proved to be cytotoxic agents in vitro particularly against cancer cell lines (sknmc, mcf7, a2780-cp, sw48, a549, kb, ht-29, hepg 2 ). the cytotoxic activity was assessed using mtt colorimetric assay. our compounds had less cytotoxicity than doxorubicin in all studied cell lines.

celecoxib, a specific cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) inhibitor, has been shown to possess antitumor activity in a variety of cancer cells. however, the antitumor activity of two synthesized cox-2 inhibitor derivatives ( a and b ) on human myeloid leukemia (k562) and breast adenocarcinoma (mcf-7) cancer cells has not been well established. this study was designed to investigate the morphological chang...

Back ground: Heart disease is one of the side effects of breast cancer. Physical activity and herbs are effective in reducing the inflammatory factors of the heart tissue. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 6 weeks of swimming and ginger on some inflammatory factors of the heart tissue of mice induced by breast cancer. Methods: 60 female Balb C-female (6-8 week...
