Low-Dose Aspirin Has Antiproliferative and Apoptosis Effects in HPV16 Tumor Cells and Delays Tumor Development and Growth in an Experimental Model.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aspirin on epithelial HPV16-transformed cells and its antitumor effects, in an experimental HPV16-positive tumor model.

Design: The design of the study is experimental (in vitro and in vivo).

Participants/materials, Setting, And Methods: SiHa and BMK-16/myc cells were treated with aspirin and cell proliferation was determined by MTT; Caspase-Glo 3/7 Assay was used to determine apoptosis.

Correlation trends for bone mineral density in Mexican women: evidence of familiar predisposition.

Objective: Genetic factors determine bone mineral density (BMD) and peak bone density between 20 and 30 years of age, as well as bone mineral loss after menopause. BMD is a predictor of fractures due to osteoporosis and the impact of genetic factors on osteoporosis. The variation in BMD for each individual is determined by an underlying genetic structure, common genetic effects, particularly with respect to compact bones as compared to those that are primarily trabecular.
