Cervical cancer (CC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in females worldwide, and more than 85% of new cancer cases and deaths occur in developing countries, including in China (Jemal et al., 2011). As early stage tumor, stage Ib2 and IIa2 cervical cancer is a high-risk cancer with easy recurrence and metastasis, its 5-year survival rate is ...

In a previous article, Moore, Rosenberg and Coleman (Brain and Language, 2005, 94, 72-85) reported evidence for significant improvements in phonological awareness in mainstream children following 6 h of exposure to a commercially available phoneme discrimination training programme, but not in a control group. In a follow-up study, we failed to replicate this finding, despite using an almost ide...

Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in males globally (Jemal et al., 2011). Approximately 85% of lung cancer cases are non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC) (Herbst et al., 2008). Most lung cancer patients are of advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, resulting in a poor outcome with 5-year relative survival being less than 14% (Youlden et al.,...

The ability to use microfluidic systems to fractionate a mixture of suspended particles based on their shape could lead to important applications. In the case of bioparticles, for example, shape is an important factor used to identify and characterize them. In fact, cell morphology has long been used in clinical diagnosis and it is also a marker of cell cycle (Sugaya et al. 2011; Beech et al. 2...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and the burden of this devastating cancer is expected to increase further in coming years (Nguyen et al., 2009; Venook et al., 2010). In Asian region, the incidence of HCC exceeds 30 cases per 100, 000 residents annually, which is due to the high prevalence of chronic viral hepatitis, mainly chronic hepatitis B...

Besides its classical function of bone metabolism regulation, vitamin D exhibits multiple biological targets mediated by its nuclear hormone receptor, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) (Holick, 2007; Kalueff and Tuohimaa, 2007; Annweiler et al., 2010a, 2011b). Specific actions on target organs such as the central nervous system (CNS) have been described, providing evidence for a neurosteroid action ...
