Glioblastoma is most common and most aggressive cancer of brain. for treatment surgery is first selection and radiation therapy then chemotherapy. The median survival of Patients with GBM is less than a year after diagnosis. Glioblastoma is basically resistant to common cancer treatments. today to improve the response of patients to treatment, a number of strategies such as the use of radiation...

Objective : The anti-tumor effect of the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol in breast cancer is well known; however, its activity glioblastoma not well-evaluated. Notch-Hes pathway known to regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. We investigated human lines, role Notch Hes signaling this process.Methods performed immunohistochemical staining on 31 surgically re...

Introduction: The objective of this work was to investigate the therapeutic effect of a combination of hyperthermia at 43oC exposured for 20, 40, 60 min with 6MeV electron beams at different radiation doses (2, 4, 6 Gy) compared to radiation alone.   Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, HeLa cells were exposed to either: 6MeV electron beams at diffe...

MTT assay is commonly used to assess the cellular cytotoxicity caused by anticancer drugs in glioblastomas. However, there have been some reports insisting that MTT assay exhibited non-specific intracellular reduction of tetrazolium which led to underestimated results of cytotoxicity. Here, we examine whether or not MTT assay can lead to incorrect information regarding alcohol-induced cytotoxic...

Objective(s): Glioblastoma is the most lethal tumor of the central nervous system. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of exogenous delivery of p53 and a nanoformulation of curcumin called dendrosomal curcumin (DNC), alone and in combination, on glioblastoma tumor cells. Materials and Methods: MTT assay was exploited to measure the viability of U87-MG cells against DNC treatment. Cells were ...

Background Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and common malignancies of the central nervous system in humans. Owing to the correlation of high Hsp90 expression with prognosis and clinical pathology features of diverse types of cancer, targeting Hsp90 with small-molecule inhibitors has become a promising anticancer strategy. Purpose In this study, we aimed to explore the possibility o...

BACKGROUND Hyperthermia is used in combination with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in the treatment of various types of cancer. Currently, the tumor cell response to hyperthermia is determined largely based on the size reduction of tumor mass, which is insensitive. METHODS We tested the feasibility of bioluminescent imaging (BLI) in evaluation of the tumor cell response to hyperthermia by e...

there are many effective chemothereutic agents used in influenza disease which some of them inhibit virus replication by interfering with fluv (influenza virus) viral binding or its penetration into cell membrane. a series of polyoxometalates compounds such as pom-523 and pm-504 have been synthesized and have showed inhibitory effects on viruses. in this study we examined anti influenza activit...
