Oridonin, a compound from Rabdosia rubescens, has been shown to exhibit potent ability improve the antitumor effects of lentinan (LNT). In present study, oridonin, LNT, and combination these treatments were assessed on normal human fetal lung fibroblast cell line MRC?5, as well non?small cancer A549. Next, their metastasis survival in vivo mouse model cancer. The mRNA protein ...

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in worldwide women, and novel interventions are needed to overcome the resistance occurring in the estrogen-targeted endocrine therapy. Herein, we demonstrate that the β-glucan from Lentinus edodes (LNT) exhibited a profound inhibition ratio of ∼53% against estrogen receptor positive (ER+) MCF-7 tumor growth in nude mice similar to the positive contro...

the biological effects of low-dose radiation exposure are increasingly better understood, continued research is needed to develop better individual risk-based models. Human population exposures to low doses of ionizing radiation (defined by the US Department of Energy as less than 10 rem or 0.1 Sv) are increasing due to occupational exposures of nuclear plant workers, waste managers and medical...

The two-state "high" threshold model is generalized by assuming that (with low probability) the threshold may be exceeded when there is no stimulus. Existing Yes-No data (that rejected the high threshold theory) are compatible with the resulting isosensitivity (ROC) curves, namely, 2 line segments that intersect at the true threshold probabilities. The corresponding 2-alternative forced-choice ...

Low nocturnal temperature (LNT) is a major constraint for protected tomato production in China during winter and spring, which leads to phosphorus (P) deficiency symptoms. The soil P fractions reflect availability. foliar root the adaptation strategies of tomatoes LNT. However, relationship between plant under LNT not well understood. Therefore, we conducted 40-day indoor incubation experiment ...
