biomolecular behavior of tumor cells has become attractive to investigators. p53 as an oncosuppresor gene has been core of various studies and ki67 is a nuclear protein involved in proliferation process. stopping of onco-suppressor function theoretically allows proliferative system to get out of any control. in this case-control study we evaluated 50 patients with non small cell lung cancer, co...

aims: the backbone of treatment in advanced non-small cell lung cancer is platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. we intended to compare the effectiveness of two commonly used regimens in real world practice. methods: this single institute, parallel comparative post marketing study included 100 patients with chemo-naïve advanced (stage iiib, iv) non-small cell lung cancer and eastern cooperative o...

variations in biochemical features are extensive among cells. identification of marker that is specific for each cell is essential for following the differentiation of stem cell and metastatic growing. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) as a biochemical analysis more focused on diagnosis of cancerous cells. in this study, commercially obtained cell lines such as human ovarian carcin...

BACKGROUND During tumor formation and expansion, increasing glucose metabolism is necessary for unrestricted growth of tumor cells. Expression of key glycolytic enzyme alpha-enolase (ENO1) is controversial and its modulatory mechanisms are still unclear in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS The expression of ENO1 was examined in NSCLC and non-cancerous lung tissues, NSCLC cell lines,...

Apoptosis-related molecules can be abnormally expressed in cancers and underscore the hallmark of resisting cell death in cancer cells. This study was aimed to observe the expression patterns of apoptosis-related molecules in lung cancer and paired non-cancerous tissues, and to observe if there is a correlation between the expression of these apoptotic molecules and clinicopathologic parameters...

A method of rapidly differentiating lung tumor from healthy tissue is extraordinarily needed for both the diagnosis and the intraoperative margin assessment. We assessed the ability of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) for differentiating human lung cancer and normal tissues with the autofluorescence, and also elucidated the mechanism in tissue studies and cell studies. A 15-patie...

Abstract Biosynthesis of nanoparticles is the preferred route for fabrication biocompatible and cheaper drugs. In this study, extract major secondary metabolite from Helichrysum aureonitens , 3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone, were used to synthesize silver zinc oxide nanoparticles. Spectroscopic microscopic techniques confirmed formation The flavone alone showed higher DPPH radical scaveng...

Thrombospondin (TSP)-2 is known to be an endogenous negative regulator of vascularization in human cancer. However, it is unclear whether TSP-2 expression is related to neovascularization and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer. In this study, we quantitatively examined the expression of TSP-2 mRNA by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 102 pulmonary adenoc...
