Purpose Metronomic chemotherapy (MC) represents a therapeutic approach characterized by the long-term administration of chemotherapeutic agents at relatively low doses, with minimal or no drug-free intervals (US20150283237, CN111110681A). This study aimed to evaluate the treatment characteristics, prognosis, and efficacy of S-1 MC as a compensatory strategy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients Read More

Coumarins, a ubiquitous class of aromatic compounds present in a broad spectrum of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and over 150 plant species, have been extensively studied over the years. Researchers have isolated and characterized more than 1,300 natural coumarins, many of which exhibit promising biomedical properties. Among these, daphnetin has emerged as a distinctive coumarin derivative that is charact Read More

Background Recent research has demonstrated the significance of Interferon Gamma-Inducible Protein 30 (IFI30), an interferon gamma-induced protein, in the immune response to cancerous growths. However, the relationship between IFI30 expression levels, patient prognosis, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains inadequately defined. Methods To ascertain the potential link b Read More

An aberrant increase in cancer incidences has demanded extreme attention globally despite advancements in diagnostic and management strategies. The high mortality rate is concerning, and tumour heterogeneity at the genetic, phenotypic, and pathological levels exacerbates the problem. In this context, lack of early diagnostic techniques and therapeutic resistance to drugs, sole awareness among the public, coup Read More

Background BCL-2 was the first gene identified to have antiapoptotic effects, and venetoclax is an oral selective BCL-2 inhibitor, which has great potential in the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not candidates for intensive therapy. Notably, posaconazole, an oral antifungal drug, is also a strong factor that can affect blood venetoclax concentrations. To the best of our knowledge, the relationshi Read More

Objective This study aims to enhance the understanding of underlying mechanisms and potential therapies of the solute carrier organic anion (SLCO) transporter family in internal environment disorder (IED)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This could lead to new therapeutic strategies and offer new directions for the creation of new patents for HCC treatment products. Methods The orthotopic transplantation Read More

Background This study aimed to evaluate IMRT and 3D-CRT in the therapy of brain tumor (BT) in relation to dose-volume histograms (DVHs) parameters, such as Heterogeneity Index (HI), Conformity index (CI), Equivalent Uniform Dose (EUD), and mean dose (Dmean) outcomes, including the program for the tumors of the brain and estimate whether a favored procedure can be found through the features of the pretreatm Read More

Objective To investigate the underlying mechanism by which quercetin (Que) regulates macrophage polarization and its subsequent therapeutic effect on liver fibrosis, an important pathological precondition for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods In vitro experiments were performed on the RAW264.7 mouse macrophage line. After the induction of M1-type macrophages with LPS, the effects of Que on cell morphology, Read More
