skin neoplasms/albumin

Albumin/drug loaded magnetic nanocomposite spheres were fabricated using an oil-in-oil emulsion/solvent evaporation method, and tested on a mouse model (experimental squamous cell carcinoma) to determine the efficacy of the drug delivery system (DDS) on skin cancer. This novel DDS consists of human

BACKGROUND Recently, it became more evident that skin is a target for neuroendocrine signals. OBJECTIVE (1) To evaluate the relationship between tumour aggressiveness and hypercalcaemia in patients with non-melanoma skin cancer; (2) to identify clinical, functional, biological alterations caused by

5-Fluoro-12-methylbenzanthryl-7-acetic acid (5-FMBAAA) is an analog of the carcinogen 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) with little or no carcinogenic activity. CD-1 mice immunized with 5-FMBAAA conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) developed serum antibodies capable of binding DMBA. As a

A novel drug delivery system incorporating human serum albumin, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid, magnetite nanoparticles, and therapeutic agent(s) was developed for potential application in the treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and skin cancer. An oil-in-oil emulsion/solvent

Noscapine is effective to inhibit cellular proliferation and induced apoptosis in nonsmall cell, lung, breast, lymphoma, and prostate cancer. It also shows good efficiency to skin cancer cells. In the current work, we studied the mechanism of interaction between the anticancer drug noscapine (NOS)

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is attracting increasing interest and becoming more widely used for skin cancer therapy in the clinic, as a result of its noninvasiveness and low systemic adverse effects. However, there is an urgent need to develop biocompatible PTT agents, which enable accurate imaging,

A method was developed for obtaining direct chromosome preparations from SENCAR mouse skin tumors induced by chemical carcinogenesis protocols. Papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas were mechanically dispersed immediately after resection and were placed in a modified Hanks' solution with

Individuals with black skin rarely get skin cancer, and melanomas, tumors arising from pigmented cells, are generally resistant to radiation therapy. The role of melanin in these two phenomena has not been defined, but oxygen-radical species have been implicated in both effects. These studies were

7H-Dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (DBC) induces skin and liver tumors in mice following topical application, whereas benzo[a]pyrene (BP) induces only skin tumors. DBC also binds to liver DNA to a much greater extent than does BP. The present study examined factors that might account for the difference in DNA

Two groups of 48 hr/hr mice (24 males, 24 females) were pretreated i.p. with 0.03 nmol of a synthetic epidermal mitosis-inhibiting pentapeptide (EPP), pGlu-Glu-Asp-Ser-GlyOH, dissolved in bovine serum albumin solution (BSA) at -6, -3 and 0 h before a topical skin application of 1 mg

UNASSIGNED Recent studies have shown a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D, defined as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level less than 30 ng/ml, in both healthy populations and patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients undergoing kidney transplant are at an increased risk of skin cancer and are

OBJECTIVE Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer characterized by malignant proliferation of melanocytes. The role played by reactive oxygen species and free radicals in the pathology of melanoma in humans is widely accepted today. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to characterize some

Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and has very high rates of mortality. An early stage melanoma can be surgically removed, with a survival rate of 99%. However, metastasized melanoma is difficult to cure. The 5-year survival rates for patients with metastasized melanoma are still
