BACKGROUND
Venenum bufonis is the dried white secretion of the auricular and skin glands of Bufo gargarizans Cantor, or Bufo melanostictus Schneider, Bufonidae. It is used in the treatment of deep-rooted carbuncle, boils and swelling; pain in the throat, heart stroke, coma, abdominal pain, vomiting
OBJECTIVE
To conduct a retrospective evaluation of tetrahydropyranyladriamycin (PIR)-based combination chemotherapy for osteosarcomas in comparison with doxorubicin (DOX)-based regimens to determine differences in response and toxicities between DOX- and PIR-containing regimens.
METHODS
Toxicities
Studies to determine the etiology of osteosarcoma involve epidemiologic and environmental factors and genetic impairments. Factors related to patient characteristics include age, gender, ethnicity, growth and height, genetic and familial factors, and preexisting bone abnormalities. Rapidly
Purpose: Osteosarcoma is the malignant bone tumor most common in children and adolescents. Many cytochrome P-450 (CYP) members detoxify anticancer drugs used in osteosarcoma treatment, and thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate CYP polymorphisms in osteosarcoma patients.
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) is caused by a toxin elaborated by the anaerobic organism Clostridium difficile. Although the vast majority of CDAD cases are now associated with antibiotic use, the administration of antineoplastic agents alone can result in clinical manifestations.
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and drug safety between oral apatinib combined with conventional chemotherapy and conventional chemotherapy alone for the treatment of osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma patients with pulmonary metastasis. Methods: Thirty-three osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in pediatric patients. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway plays a relevant role in the biology of OS but no IGF targeted therapies have been successful as monotherapy so far. Here, we tested the effect of three IGF
Apatinib, a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that targets mainly vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) as well as Ret, c-Kit and c-Src, has been assessed in patients with advanced osteosarcoma (phase II), the primary report of which has been published in PMID Antiangiogenesis tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been shown to prolong progression-free survival (PFS) in advanced osteosarcoma. Methylsulfonic apatinib is a TKI that specifically inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2. We aim to assess apatinib in patients with Withaferin-A (WA), an active principle obtained from a traditional Indian herb known as Ashwagandha or the Indian ginseng, has been shown to prevent and cure urethane-induced lung tumors in mice, and also inhibit the growth of transplanted sarcoma in BACKGROUND
We hypothesized that the addition of toceranib to metronomic cyclophosphamide/piroxicam therapy would significantly improve disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) in dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma (OSA) following amputation and carboplatin chemotherapy.
RESULTS

Alkaloid berberine is widely used for the treatment of diarrhea and other diseases. Many laboratory studies showed that it exhibits anti-proliferative activity against a wide spectrum of cancer cells in culture. In this report we studied the mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of berberine
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of ambulatory high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) administration with oral hydration, alkalinization, and leucovorin rescue. HDMTX (12 g/m) was given intravenously over 4 hours after urine alkalinization. Families and
The nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) which plays an essential role in viral RNA replication. Antibodies that specifically recognize NS5B will have utilities in monitoring NS5B production and subcellular localization, as well as in
OBJECTIVE
To assess the feasibility of administering camptothecin (CPT), the prototypic topoisomerase I inhibitor, as polyethylene glycol (PEG)-CPT, a macromolecule consisting of CPT conjugated to chemically modified PEG. The study also sought to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of
