Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and dendritic cells (DCs) activation/maturation One of the important approaches to successful cancer immunotherapy is generation of specific T cell responses by dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are the most potent antigen-presenting cells for naive T cells, because their

INTRODUCTION Warts are common skin conditions resulting from infection of keratinocytes by human papillomavirus (HPV). After infection of the basal layer, there is clonal proliferation leading to epidermal thickening and hyperkeratinization and eventually results in a visible wart. HPVs are

Chronic hepatitis B infection remains a global health threat despite vaccination program.[1] Nearly 3 billion population are infected with chronic hepatitis B infection globally. In China, the pooled prevalence of chronic hepatitis B infection was around 7% in year 2018, making an estimated 84

Background: - At time of diagnosis, fewer than 10% of newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients present with resectable disease (patients who can undergo surgery) and patients able to undergo a margin-negative surgical resection (R0) are reported to have the most favorable outcome. - Locally

The use of anti TNF agents has improved the medical treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). However, one third of patients receiving such treatment will not reach remission. Studies have demonstrated that the gut microbiome influences the cytokine response and in particular the TNF production. In this

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. Most patients with HCC are diagnosed as advanced stage or unresectable disease because of the lack of signs and symptoms. Despite significant research efforts, only a few effective treatment approaches have been developed for

The current standard of care for advanced (AJCC-7 edition stage III and IV) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma are concomitant chemoradiation, or surgery followed by adjuvant radiation therapy with or without concomitant chemotherapy. These approaches have persistent and significant lifelong side

Uveitis of Behçet's disease (BDU) is the most common form of ocular manifestations, which is also the leading cause of irreversible visual impairment. The aim of the study is to improve the treatment strategy of the disease as well as to reduce blindness. Monoclonal anti-TNF antibodies were

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the major component of the Mediterranean diet. More than 200 different chemical compounds have been detected in olive oil, including fatty acids, sterols, carotenoids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tocopherols and olive polyphenols. Virgin olive oil contains a variety of

With the development of cost effective and rapid technology of genome sequencing, precision medicine becomes a new way to think oncology. Current targets involve mainly tyrosine kinase, but DNA repair machinery could also be targetable. Some of DNA repair aberrations have been associated with

Double expressor lymphoma is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma defined as having increased expression of MYC and BCL-2 by immunohistochemistry. Patients with double-expressor lymphomas have a poor prognosis when treated with standard chemoimmunotherapy and have increased risk of progression

Despite recent breakthroughs in the treatment of melanoma, the prognosis in the advanced stage of the disease continues to be very poor. 45-50% of all melanomas carry a point mutation in codon 600 of the BRAF gene encoding a serine-threonine kinase. The two most common BRAF mutations (V600E and

This multicenter study uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group design to study the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with intravenous secukinumab (initial dose of 6 mg/kg followed thereafter with 3 mg/kg administered every four weeks starting at Week 4) in

Prostate cancer screening with Prostate specific antigen (PSA) has resulted in an increase in the diagnosis of localized prostate cancer. The traditional approach for treating low-risk and intermediate-risk prostate cancer includes definitive treatment with either radical prostatectomy or

High dose IVC induces pro-oxidant effects, inhibits energy metabolism, acts as cytotoxic effect, and induces cancer cell apoptosis and necrosis. The recent advance in Warburg effect makes a new direction in high dose IVC therapy. The Warburg effect is the enhanced conversion of glucose to lactate
