Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2024 Apr 1;25(4):1315-1324. doi: 10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.4.1315. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Tumor hypoxia induces the production of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF)-1 alpha, which interacts with NF-kB, leading to cancer proliferation and metastasis. This study investigated the effect of tumor hypoxia modulation using carbogen (95% O2 and 5% CO2) and nicotinamide on reducing soluble interleukin-2 receptor…
Stem Cell Res Ther. 2024 Apr 29;15(1):122. doi: 10.1186/s13287-024-03707-2. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold a great promise for cell-based therapy in the field of regenerative medicine. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (HUC-MSCs) in patients with aging frailty. METHODS: In…
Addict Sci Clin Pract. 2024 Apr 28;19(1):33. doi: 10.1186/s13722-024-00463-9. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) frequently use acute hospital services. The Navigation Services to Avoid Rehospitalization (NavSTAR) trial found that a patient navigation intervention for hospitalized patients with comorbid SUDs reduced subsequent inpatient admissions compared to treatment-as-usual (TAU). METHODS: This secondary analysis extends…
Anticancer Res. 2024 May;44(5):2039-2046. doi: 10.21873/anticanres.17007. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND/AIM: The acute phase immune response (APR) in midline laparotomy (MLa) patients following surgery has been rarely studied, with no studies assessing the association of blood IL-18 (interleukin-18) and IL-18BP (IL-18 binding protein) values with the numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score following MLa. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Blood…
