objective(s):sea cucumber is one of the classes of echinoderms, which is considered as a health marine product and possess various biological characteristics with therapeutic application. the present investigation attempted to evaluate the potential of anti-cancer persian gulf sea cucumber species holothuria arenicola (h. arenicola) aqueous extract on mice colon carcinoma cells in vitro and in ...

background: in this study, the effects of three structural analogues of adenosine upon proliferation of human tumor cells were investigated. previous research showed a cytotoxic effect of adenosine via a3 receptor and a1 receptor and sometimes this effect was receptor independent. the researches showed a differential cytotoxic effect of adenosine and its a3 agonists on cancerous cells, while ot...

objective(s) sonodynamic therapy is a physical treatment which utilizes ultrasound waves with an appropriate sensitizer such as protoporphyrin ix (ppix). the activation of sensitizer depends on cavitation, and therefore, high intensity ultrasound is an important necessity. beside, high intensity ultrasound can induce side effects on the healthy tissues which have surrounded tumor. the particles...

Introduction: Acoustic transient cavitation is the primary mechanism of sonochemical reaction and has potential use for tumor treatment. In this study, the in vivo anti-tumor effect of simultaneous dual-frequency ultrasound at low-level intensity (ISATA < 6 W/cm2) was investigated in a spontaneous murine model of breast adenocarcinoma in Balb/c mice. Materials and Methods: Forty tumor bearing m...
