A Rat Model of Radiation Vasculitis for the Study of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Therapy.
Authors: Zhang J, Tao X, Sun M, Ying R, Su W, Wei W, Meng X Abstract Radiation vasculitis is one of the most common detrimental effects of radiotherapy for malignant tumors. This is developed at the vasculature of adjacent organs. Animal experiments have showed that transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) restores vascular function after irradiation. But the population of MSCs being engrafted into irradiated vessels is too low in the conventional models to make assessment of therapeutic...

Inter-laboratory comparison of Ki-67 proliferating index detected by visual assessment and automated digital image analysis.
CONCLUSION: Proliferation remains one of the most important parameters for tumor characterization helpful in making clinical decisions, but it should be used with great caution. Standardization of the Ki-67 assessment is essential and proliferating index should be expressed as exact numeric value. For patients with proliferative index near the cut-off value, other factors must be considered in making clinical decisions.

Both 3,3 ′,5-triiodothyronine and 3,5-diodo-L-thyronine Are Able to Repair Mitochondrial DNA Damage but by Different Mechanisms
In conclusion, both T3 and T2 are capable of inducing protective effects against mtDNA oxidative stress, but they affect different pathways. In the present study, we did not investigate the possible involvement of other homeostatic mechanisms possibly counteracting the oxidative stress, such as autophagy. However, this aspect has been recently investigated by Iannucci et al. (29), demonstrating that in the liver of HFD-treated rats, the administration of either T3 or T2 affected the autophagy mechanisms,...

circSMARCA5 Functions as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker for Gastric Cancer.
Discussion: Our results demonstrated that circSMARCA5 was decreased and exerted tumor-suppressive effects in GC. circSMARCA5 can function as a potential biomarker for GC prognosis and diagnosis.

High Expression of LTBP2 Contributes to Poor Prognosis in Colorectal Cancer Patients and Correlates with the Mesenchymal Colorectal Cancer Subtype.
In this study, we aimed to analyze the mRNA and protein expression levels of LTBP2 in CRC tissues and then estimate their values as a potential prognostic biomarker. We detected the mRNA expression of LTBP2 in 28 cases of fresh CRC tissues and 4 CRC cell lines and the protein expression of LTBP2 in 483 samples of CRC tissues, matched tumor-adjacent tissues, and benign colorectal diseases. LTBP2 protein expression was then correlated to patients' clinical features and overall survival. Both LTBP2...

Cancers, Vol. 11, Pages 503: NMDA Receptor-Mediated Signaling Pathways Enhance Radiation Resistance, Survival and Migration in Glioblastoma Cells —A Potential Target for Adjuvant Radiotherapy
In this study we revealed functional expression of Ca2+-permeable NMDARs in three glioblastoma cell lines. Therefore, we investigated the impact of this receptor on cell survival, migration and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in the presence of both, glutamate and NMDAR antagonists, and after clinically relevant doses of ionizing radiation. Our results indicate that treatment with NMDAR antagonists slowed the growth and migration of glutamate-releasing LN229 cells, suggesting that activation...

Carbon-ion radiotherapy for lymph node oligo-recurrence: a multi-institutional study by the Japan Carbon-Ion Radiation Oncology Study Group (J-CROS)
ConclusionsC-ion RT for LN oligo-recurrence appeared to be effective and safe. C-ion RT may provide a survival benefit to patients with LN oligo-recurrence, particularly to those with few LN metastases, smaller LN diameters, and longer disease-free intervals.

Impact of Chemotherapy Regimens on Normal Tissue Complication Probability Models of Acute Hematologic Toxicity in Rectal Cancer Patients Receiving Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy With Concurrent Chemotherapy From a Prospective Phase III Clinical Trial
Conclusion: Patients receiving FOLFOX have lower BM tolerance to CRT than those receiving 5FU. Low-dose radiation to the PBM is predictive for HT2+ in patients who received 5FU. NTCP modeling in FOLFOX group predicts much higher risk of HT3+ than 5FU group. Introduction Rectal cancer is a common malignancy in the world (1). Several randomized trials have demonstrated that preoperative radiotherapy (RT) combined fluorouracil (FU)-based chemotherapy improves locoregional control (LRC) in patients...

Clinical Evaluation of Commercial Atlas-Based Auto-Segmentation in the Head and Neck Region
Conclusions: The performance of AS AC generally increased as the population of the atlas library increased. However, the performance does not drastically vary in the larger atlas libraries in contrast to the logic that bigger atlas library should lead to better results. In fact, the results do not vary significantly toward the larger atlas library. It is necessary for the institutions to independently research the optimal number of subjects.
