In today era cancer is a dangerous and terrible disease which cause due to rapid increment of unusual cells within the body. Cancer second influential death in world. It has become very difficult overcome cancerous disease. 10 million people died per year from cancer. The major sudden change DNA cells. As result normal convert into enhance process metastasis. There are some treatments this but ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) are families of sequence-specific, posttranscriptional modulators of gene expression. Despite extensive mechanistic and functional studies on both regulatory classes, the interactions and crosstalk between them are largely unexplored. We have reported that competition between miR-297 and hnRNP L to bind a 3΄UTR-localized C...

BACKGROUND Despite advances in radical esophagectomies and adjuvant therapy, the postoperative prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients remains poor. The aim of this study was to identify a molecular signature to predict postoperative favorable outcomes in patients with ESCC. METHODS As a training data set, total RNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded s...

Most primary breast cancers express estrogen receptor α and can be treated via endocrine therapy using anti-estrogens such as tamoxifen; however, acquired endocrine resistance is a critical issue. To identify tamoxifen response-related microRNAs (miRNAs) in breast cancer, MCF-7 cells infected with a lentiviral miRNA library were treated with 4-hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) or vehicle for 4 weeks, and ...

Tuberculosis of the tonsils is by no means a common condition, Mullin (1923), for example, in analysing 400 tonsillectomies found only 4.25 per cent cases of tuberculous tonsils. The present study is based on 2,477 tonsillectomies in the Madras General Hospital. This series covers a period of five years from January 1928 to December 1932. We, however, feel that this investigation is incomplete ...

cent studies have shown that green tea and its component polyphenol have a chemopreventing effect on models of cancer in vitro and in vivo. ( )-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a major component of polyphenols in green tea and is reported to inhibit the proliferation and to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. A typical cup of green tea contains 100—150 mg of catechins, including 8% ( )-epicat...

Heparin is an injectable anticoagulant that prevents coagulation. There are presently high and low molecular heparins as well as synthetic pentasaccharide inhibitors. Given its ubiquitous use in sensitive medical states, there is a high concern for safety with this drug. Heparin can induce several distinct immune-mediated reactions. There are several options to consider when heparin allergy occ...
