Authors: Zhang J, Tao X, Sun M, Ying R, Su W, Wei W, Meng X Abstract Radiation vasculitis is one of the most common detrimental effects of radiotherapy for malignant tumors. This is developed at the vasculature of adjacent organs. Animal experiments have showed that transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) restores vascular function after irradiation. But the population of MSCs being engrafted into irradiated vessels is too low in the conventional models to make assessment of therapeutic...

Authors: Boan P, Gardam D Abstract Candidemia is a common invasive fungal infection with a high mortality rate. We performed a retrospective audit of candidemia at a tertiary centre in Western Australia, 2005-2014. There were 167 episodes of candidemia due to 173 isolates of Candida. Candida albicans (40.5%), Candida glabrata complex (30.6%), Candida parapsilosis complex (14.4%) were the most common species causing candidemia across the study. Of the tested isolates, 17.7% (11/62) were...
CONCLUSION: Proliferation remains one of the most important parameters for tumor characterization helpful in making clinical decisions, but it should be used with great caution. Standardization of the Ki-67 assessment is essential and proliferating index should be expressed as exact numeric value. For patients with proliferative index near the cut-off value, other factors must be considered in making clinical decisions.

Over the past 30 years, extensive research has explored the use of nutritional supplements for prevention of cancer. Despite what appears to be strong observational evidence, randomized clinical trials of beta carotene, ascorbic acid, alpha tocopherol, selenium, and folic acid all failed to show evidence of efficacy for cancer chemoprevention. The colorectum has been particularly well studied: trials of these interventions examining adenoma recurrence have been uniformly negative as well. (Source:...

ConclusionFEJ has the hematopoietic effect in chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression mice. It might be achieved by improving the proliferative capacity of HSCs and the differentiation ability of HPCs. The molecular mode of action of FEJ might be the improvement of the bone marrow microenvironment via ECM-receptor interaction, the promoted proliferation of HSC through regulation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, and the involvement of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. MMP2 and COL1A1 appear to be the key relevant...
