A Sensitive Fibre Optic Probe for Autofluorescence Spectroscopy of Oral Tongue Cancer: Monte Carlo Simulation Study: The objective of this paper is to determine the best optical probe configuration that would help to detect neoplastic lesions in oral tongue epithelial tissue. Three geometrical configurations are investigated. The first one is a single-fibre probe with different fibre diameters. The second one is a multitilted fibre probe that employs different tilting angles for emission and collection...

To What Extent Can Orbital Cellulitis Emergency Aspect Influence the Diagnosis of Maxillary Sinus Lymphoma?: We present a case of a 46-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department for acute swelling and erythema of the right eyelid for 3 days. Ophthalmological examination was notable for 10/10, P2 best visual acuity, and inflammatory periorbital edema, without exophthalmia nor extraocular motility disturbance. Intraocular pressure was 14 mmHg and fundoscopic examination was not notable for...

Survival of Patients with First and Metachronous Second Primary Breast Cancer or Lung Cancer Malignancy: Comparisons Using the SEER Database: AbstractIntroductionBreast cancer (BC) and lung cancer (LuC) are common malignancies. The survival of patients with metachronous second primary malignancy (MSPM) of BC and LuC after a first primary of BC and LuC remains unclear.MethodsData of patients with BC and LuC, with or without MSPM of BC and LuC, who were diagnosed from 2000 to 2014, were extracted from...

Berberine Suppressed Tumor Growth through Regulating Fatty Acid Metabolism and Triggering Cell Apoptosis via Targeting FABPs: Aim. To further investigate the mechanism behind the antitumor properties of berberine regarding lipid metabolism. Methods. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis assays were performed to determine the antigrowth effects of berberine in vitro. Ectopic xenograft models in Balb/c nude mice were established to determine the antitumor effects of berberine in vivo. Results....

The Role of Forced and Voluntary Training on Accumulation of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule and Polysialic Acid in Muscle of Mice with Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis: It has been suggested that depletion of adhesion molecules is one of the factors associated with or possibly responsible for multiple sclerosis (MS) progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of forced and voluntary training before and after induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)...

Orlistat-Induced Gut Microbiota Modification in Obese Mice: Introduction. Accumulating evidence has indicated that alterations of gut microbiota have been involved in various metabolic diseases. Orlistat, a reversible inhibitor of pancreatic and gastric lipase, has beneficial effects on weight loss and metabolism. However, the effect of orlistat on the composition of gut microbiota remains unclear. Objective. We aimed to explore the effect of orlistat on gut microbiota in high-fat diet (HFD) fed...

Soybean isoflavone can protect against osteoarthritis in ovariectomized rats: AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and incurable disease and a leading cause of significant pain and disability that is closely associated with aging and obesity. An appropriate long-term therapy regimen is presently unknown. An estrogen deficiency after menopause increases the incidence and severity of OA in women. Soybean isoflavone have weak estrogenic effects in several organs and have been considered as a potentially...

Facial nerve electrodiagnostics for patients with facial palsy: a clinical practice guideline: AbstractPurposeFacial nerve electrodiagnostics is a well-established and important tool for decision making in patients with facial nerve diseases. Nevertheless, many otorhinolaryngologist—head and neck surgeons do not routinely use facial nerve electrodiagnostics. This may be due to a current lack of agreement on methodology, interpretation, validity, and clinical application. Electrophysiological analyses...

Pharmacogenomics of breast cancer: highlighting CYP2D6 and tamoxifen: AbstractPurposeTo review recent pharmacogenomics studies on breast cancer patients undergoing tamoxifen therapy, highlighting how our knowledge on cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) can help to guide the development of adjuvant therapies for these patients.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted. Articles reporting findings pertaining to the effect of CYP2D6 on the therapeutic efficacy of tamoxifen, those reporting how...

Three-Year Follow-Up with the Bone Conduction Implant: Background: The bone conduction implant (BCI) is an active transcutaneous bone conduction device where the transducer has direct contact to the bone, and the skin is intact. Sixteen patients have been implanted with the BCI with a planned follow-up of 5 years. This study reports on hearing, quality of life, and objective measures up to 36 months of follow-up in 10 patients. Method: Repeated measures were performed at fitting and after 1, 3, 6,...

Optimization of timing of hepatocellular phase imaging after gadoxetate disodium injection for evaluation of patients with neuroendocrine tumor: AbstractPurposeMetastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (mGEP-NEN) are indolent malignancies which undergo frequent imaging follow-up. Hepatocellular phase (HCP) MR with hepatocellular-specific contrast agent is widely used to evaluate mGEP-NEN liver metastases but is commonly performed after a 20-min delay which prolongs scan time. The...
