Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant disease affecting women's health worldwide. The benefits from conventional therapeutic modalities are severely limited. An increasing number of promising photothermal materials have been recently developed and introduced into the therapeutic regimens
A nuclease-resistant complex of polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid containing poly-L-lysine and carboxymethylcellulose was used as prophylactic treatment of simian hemorrhagic fever in rhesus monkeys. This infection has proven uniformly fatal to more than 50 monkeys. Treatment 8 hr before
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of zinc L-lysine and taurine against teratogenesis caused by hyperthermia in pregnant mice.
METHODS
Eighty seven female Swiss mice with the gestational age of 8 days were exposed to 42.5 approximately 43.0 degrees C waterbath for 9 minutes. Six hours later the same
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the growth factor responsible for the triggering of angiogenesis, the process of blood vessel formation supporting the long-term viability of any repaired or regenerated tissue. As the growth factor is effective only when concentration gradients are
In previous experiments, alpha-MSH (1-13) and ACTH (1-24), which contains the alpha-MSH 1-13 amino acid sequence, were found to reduce fever after central and peripheral administration of low, non-hypothermic doses. Shorter molecules, including alpha-MSH 1-10, had no effect. The idea that the 11-13
Magnetic hyperthermia, in which magnetic nanoparticles are introduced into tumors and exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF), appears to be promising since it can lead to increased life expectancy in patients. Its efficacy can be further improved by using biocompatible iron oxide magnetosome
Magnetic hyperthermia was reported to increase the survival of patients with recurrent glioblastoma by 7 months. This promising result may potentially be further improved by using iron oxide nanoparticles, called magnetosomes, which are synthesized by magnetotactic bacteria, extracted from these
The heat response of five human tumor biopsies has been examined using the fluorescent probe dansyl lysine and multiparameter flow cytometry. Dansyl lysine has previously been shown to possess specificity for heat killed mammalian cells. The human tumors tested included a cervical squamous cell
We report the first human trial of immunotherapy employing the nonimmunogenic carrier, D-glutamic acid:D-lysine linked to short ragweed (SRW) fraction A (fraction A:D-GL). Twelve SRW-sensitive patients with no immunotherapy during the previous 19 yr received a 2-mo (7/79 to 9/79) course of fraction
Typhax is an investigational typhoid fever vaccine candidate that was GMP manufactured applying Protein Capsular Matrix Vaccine (PCMV) technology. It consists of Vi polysaccharide antigen, derived from S. Typhi, non-covalently entrapped in a glutaraldehyde catalyzed cross-linked
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), a member of the family Bunyaviridae, extended its range from sub-Saharan Africa into Egypt in 1977. Its clinical spectrum is recognized to include severe manifestations such as hemorrhagic fever and encephalitis. For these reasons, as well as the limited knowledge of
BACKGROUND
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder that occurs in predisposed individuals after exposure to volatile anesthetics or depolarizing muscle relaxants. Genetic mutations of ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1), which are considered to cause MH, are found mainly in 3 regions
The effects of centrally injected prostaglandins (PGE1 and PGF2 alpha), arachidonic acid and lysine acetylsalicylate were examined on the seizure activity and temperature changes produced by pentylentetrazole (PTZ) and also on maximal electroshock (MES) seizures. PGE1 antagonised both PTZ and MES
We have employed the nontoxic fluorescent membrane probe, N-sigma-dansyl-L-lysine (DL) to study the effect of mild (45.5 degrees C) heat shock on a variety of mammalian cell lines. It has been previously proposed by Humphries and Lovejoy (1983) that DL selectively partitions into (and diffuses
