OBJECTIVE Adhesive capsulitis has been suggested as an adverse effect of vaccine administration into the shoulder area. The purpose of this case series is to report 3 cases of acute onset of adhesive capsulitis following pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. CLINICAL FEATURES Patients reported painful shoulder and limited motion following routine vaccination. After clinical examination, a diag...

The ether lipid 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-3-glycero-phosphocholine (ET-18-OMe) inhibits cell-cell adhesion and induces invasiveness of breast cancer cells. Previously, we showed that a loss of cell-cell adhesion was due to sterical hindrance of E-cadherin by the anti-adhesive properties of the cell surface mucin episialin. Here, we demonstrated that the ether lipid ET-18-OMe induced the transloc...

During the last years, several applications of biosurfactants with medical purposes have been reported. Biosurfactants are considered relevant molecules for applications in combating many diseases and as therapeutic agents due to their antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities. Furthermore, their role as anti-adhesive agents against several pathogens illustrate their utility as suitabl...

Surface fouling and undesired adhesion are nearly ubiquitous problems in the medical field, complicating everything from surgeries to routine daily care of patients. Recently, the concept of immobilized liquid (IL) interfaces has been gaining attention as a highly versatile new approach to antifouling, with a wide variety of promising applications in medicine. Here, we review the general concep...

The use and potential commercial application of biosurfactants in the medical field has increased during the past decade. Their antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities make them relevant molecules for applications in combating many diseases and as therapeutic agents. In addition, their role as anti-adhesive agents against several pathogens indicates their utility as suitable anti-adh...

The amount of sparkle associated with automotive anti-glare display surfaces is generally worsened with increasing display resolutions. One sparkle countermeasure recently introduced by 3M is the use of an anti-sparkle optically clear adhesive (OCA). The distinctness of image (DOI) properties of the 3M anti-sparkle OCA are further investigated.

BACKGROUND A Chinese herb Corydalis yanhusuo W.T. Wang that showed anticancer and anti-angiogenesis effects in our previous studies was presented for further studies. In the present study, we studied the anticancer proliferation and adhesion effects of five alkaloids which were isolated from Corydalis yanhusuo. MATERIALS AND METHODS MTT dose response curves, cell migration assay, cell invasio...
