A Review of Outstanding Retinoblastoma Researches on RB1 Genes: Focus on Treatment by Non-ionizing and Ionizing Radiation
Introduction: Retinoblastoma (RB) is a malignant retinal tumor, which affects infants and children. This cancer happens through a mutation in the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor genes (RB1). Inactivation of RB1 has been observed in more than 97% of all retinoblastoma patients with mutations. In recent years, RB treatment has developed significantly. RBchr('39')s treatment methods can be one or ...
متن کاملEffect of 3 MHz ultrasound radiation on retinoblastoma cell line
Ultrasound hyperthermia is a new way to treat cancerous tumors. Retinoblastoma is one of the most common malignant ocular tumors in children. Since hyperthermia is an effective treatment for cancer cells, the effect of hyperthermia on retinoblastoma cells was investigated in this study. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of duration of 3 MHz ultrasound hyperthermia on Y79 cel...
متن کاملAdaptive Response Induced by Pre-Exposure to 915 MHz Radiofrequency: A Possible Role for Antioxidant Enzyme Activity
Background: Over the past few years, the rapid use of high frequency electromagnetic fields like mobile phones has raised global concerns about the negative health effects of its use. Adaptive response is the ability of a cell or tissue to better resist stress damage by prior exposure to a lesser amount of stress. This study aimed to assess whether radiofrequency radiation can induce adaptive r...
متن کاملCytotoxicity effect of gold nanoparticles against a rabbit model of retinoblastoma
Introduction: Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor in children. The goal of retinoblastoma treatment is to maintain vision and minimize side effects. In this study, the toxicity of the gold nanoparticle safety in vitro was investigated on an eye tumor of retinoblastoma under in vivo conditions. Materials and Methods: For the evaluation of the toxicity of gold nanoparticles using MTT test after 4...
متن کاملAn infant with Down syndrome and retinoblastoma. A possible non-fortuitous association.
AIM To evaluate the association between Down syndrome and retinoblastoma. METHOD Presentation of a case report and review of the literature. RESULTS A retinoblastoma was observed in a 10-month-old boy with Down syndrome. A review of the literature yielded 14 other cases, suggesting a possible excess of retinoblastoma in Down syndrome, as previously proposed by two epidemiological studies. T...
