A large gap pin-to-plate, atmospheric-pressure plasma reactor is demonstrated as means of in vitro study species interactions with cell cultures. By employing optical emission and absorption spectroscopy, we report that the pin-to-pate array had an optimal discharge frequency for death 1000 Hz ambient air target cancer line, human glioblastoma multiform (U-251MG). The detected chemistry contain...

BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke and glioblastoma multiforme have similar features on anatomic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and thus may require a surgical biopsy for a definitive diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 55-year-old male complained of dysphasia for 4 weeks and continuous deterioration for 5 days. Cerebral infarction was considered based on MRI, which showed hyperintensity at the border z...

Abstract In recent years, new properties of space-time duality in the Hamiltonian formalism certain integrable classical field theories have been discovered and led to their reformulation using ideas from covariant theory: this sense, nature r -matrix structure was unravelled. Here, we solve open question extending these results a whole hierarchy. We choose Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) To ...

It is estimated that approximately 22,000 Americans will be diagnosed with tumor of the brain or nervous system in 2010. Among primary brain tumors, approximately 60% are gliomas, the most common and most malignant of which is glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).The DecisionDx-GBM test is a multigene expression assay that is designed to predict which patients are likely to experience long-term (> 2 y...

Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is a highly malignant brain tumor. Bevacizumab is a recent therapy for stopping tumor growth and even shrinking tumor through inhibition of vascular development (angiogenesis). This paper presents a non-invasive approach based on image analysis of multi-parametric magnetic resonance images (MRI) to predict response of GBM to this treatment. The resulting prediction ...

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumor in humans. It is located preferentially in the cerebral hemispheres. Glioblastoma arises from complex interactions between a variety of genetic, epigenetic alterations and environmental perturbations. However, the precise mechanism of glioblastoma is unknown and its survival rate is very low. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCG...

chemokines are biologically active peptides involved in the pathogenesis of various pathologies including brain malignancies. they are amongst primitive regulators of the development of immune responses against malignant glial tumors. the present study aimed to examine the expression of cc chemokines in anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiform patients at both mrna and protein levels. ...
