چکیده
METHODS: Sixty patients undergoing surgical treatment for breast cancer or benign breast disease were prospectively recruited and preoperative blood samples were obtained. Mononuclear cells were separated using density gradient technique and activated using the T-cell mitogen staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). Following culture interleukin 2 (IL2) ELISA was performed to assess T-cell function and patients were followed.

61 Background: The diagnosis of malignant effusion signifies disease progression and is associated with a worse prognosis regardless of tumor origin. The cancer cells in fluids have unique genotypic and phenotypic characteristics that are uniquely different from the primary tumor. Therapeutic guidance should be based on the evaluation of tumor cells in effusions. This study reports the feasibil...
متن کاملCombination of metformin and phenformin synergistically inhibits proliferation and hTERT expression in human breast cancer cells
Objective(s): Breast cancer remains a global challenge, and further chemopreventive therapies are still immediately required. Emerging evidence has revealed the potent anti-cancer effects of biguanides, Metformin (MET) and phenformin (PHE). Thus, to explore an efficient chemopreventive strategy for breast cancer, the antiproliferative effects of the combination of MET and PHE against breast can...

Abstract Introduction: Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes enzootic bovine leukemia, andis closely related to human T-lymphotropic virus type 1. It expresses microRNAs of unknown function and codes Tax, the protein that mediates malignant transformation. BLV is capable of infecting B- and T-lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and mammary epithelial cells of cattle. Several studies demonstrated the ...
