OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of adjuvant treatment in patients with high-grade meningioma. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed for patients with high-grade meningioma, World Health Organization grade 2 or 3, in a single center between 2003 and 2014. The patients were reviewed according to age at diagnosis, sex, the location of meningioma, degree of tumor resection, histolo...

The success of many vaccines relies on their association with selected adjuvants in order to increase their immunogenicity and ensure long-term protection. Propolis is a natural compound, mostly known for its immunostimulatory properties. In this study the adjuvant effects of propolis in combination with formalin-killed Aeromonas hydrophila vaccine in Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were evaluate...

Background: Antifertility effect of naturally occuring antisperm antibody (ASA) in infertile couples and studies on experimental immunization of various animals with sperm antigens represents ASA as immunocontraceptive target. Despite extensive research on the effects of different factors on sperm immunogenecity and ASA production variable result have been reported. Objective: To study whole sp...

optimizing the herbicide dose by the addition of adjuvants is an acceptable way to increase performance and to reduce the risk of side effects from herbicides. therefore, to detect a suitable adjuvant for clodinafop-propargyl against little seed canary grass (phalaris minor retz.). greenhouse experiment were conducted as factorial in completely randomized design with four replications for compa...

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are becoming more widely used than tamoxifen as adjuvant hormonal therapy for postmenopausal women (PMW) with early breast cancer (EBC). It is clear that these drugs offer important efficacy benefits over tamoxifen and differ from tamoxifen in their safety profile. The accepted strategies for adjuvant AI therapy include initial adjuvant treatment following surgery, sw...

PURPOSE To determine the role of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with completely resected stage IA-IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS The Cancer Care Ontario Program in Evidence-Based Care and the American Society of Clinical Oncology convened a Joint Expert Panel in August 2006 to review the evidence and draft recommendations for these therapies. RESUL...

BACKGROUND SWENOTECA has since 1998 offered patients with clinical stage I (CS I) nonseminoma, adjuvant chemotherapy with one course of bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP). The aim has been to reduce the risk of relapse, sparing patients the need of toxic salvage treatment. Initial results on 312 patients treated with one course of adjuvant BEP, with a median follow-up of 4.5 years, have b...

Front Cover In article number 2201409, Daqing Sun, Dan Ding, and co-workers propose a fluorinated supramolecular strategy for developing cancer vaccine adjuvant, of which 4RDP(F5) containing tetra-arginine (4R) dipentafluorophenylalanine (DP(F5)) balances the self-assembly, antigen affinity, transmembrane abilities. The performance 4RDP(F5)-OVA in prevention treatment tumors makes it an attract...
