Fuzheng Xiaoai Decoction 1 ameliorated cancer cachexia-induced muscle atrophy via Akt-mTOR pathway.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Fuzheng Xiaoai Decoction 1 (FZXAD1) is a clinical experience prescription for the treatment of cancer patients at an advanced stage. FZXAD1 has been used for more than 10 years in the clinic and can effectively improve the deficiency syndrome of cancer patients. However, its mechanisms need further clarification.

Treatment of grey zone lymphoma using the R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC protocol: Two case reports.

Rationale: We report our experience with 2 patients diagnosed with grey zone lymphoma (GZL). The histopathological characteristics of lymphomatous tissues in these patients ranged between those of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and the classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Patient Concerns: A 52-year-old female presented to the hospital with a history of lower abdominal pain of metastatic origin for 2 days.

Clinical observation of Shuanghuang Shengbai Granule () on prevention and treatment of myelosuppression caused by chemotherapy in cancer patients.

Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of Shuanghuang Shengbai Granule (, SSG), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on myelosuppression of cancer patients caused by chemotherapy.

Methods: A total of 330 patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (220 cases, analysed 209 cases) and the control group (110 cases, analysed 102 cases) with a 2:1 ratio by envelope method. The patients in the treatment group at the first day of chemotherapy started to take SSG for 14 days, while the patients in the control group took Leucogon Tablets.

Progesterone and Src family inhibitor PP1 synergistically inhibit cell migration and invasion of human basal phenotype breast cancer cells.

Basal phenotype breast cancer is one of the most aggressive breast cancers that frequently metastasize to brain. The role of sex hormones and their receptors in development of this disease is largely unclear. We demonstrated that mPRα was expressed at a moderate level in a brain metastatic BPBC cell line MB231Br, which was derived from the parent mPRα undetectable MB231 cells.

Folate intake and the risk of breast cancer: a dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies.

Background: Previous observational studies regarding the existence of an association between folate intake and the risk of breast cancer have been inconsistent. This study aimed to summarize the evidence regarding this relationship using a dose-response meta-analytic approach.

Methodology And Principal Findings: We performed electronic searches of the PubMed, EmBase, and Cochrane Library databases to identify studies published through June 2013.

Association between folate intake and the risk of lung cancer: a dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies.

Background: Studies have reported inconsistent results regarding the existence of an association between folate intake and the risk of lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to summarize the evidence from prospective cohort studies regarding this relationship by using a dose-response meta-analytic approach.

Methodology And Principal Findings: In September 2013, we performed electronic searches in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to identify studies examining the effect of folate intake on the incidence of lung cancer.

Effect of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on cancer incidence, non-vascular death, and total mortality: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Omega-3 fatty acids are known to prevent cardiac death. However, previous observational studies have suggested that omega-3 fatty acids are associated with cancer risk in adults. We conducted a meta-analysis based on randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on the risk of cancer incidence, nonvascular death, and total mortality.

Intracoronary versus intravenous administration of abciximab in patients with acute coronary syndrome: a meta-analysis.

Background: Abciximab is a widely used adjunctive therapy for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the effect of intracoronary (i.c.

[Experimental study on the inhibitory effect of Carboxymethyl Pachymaram on hepatitis B virus expression from transfected cells].

Objective: To observe the anti-HBV activity of Carboxymethyl Pachymaram (CMP) on the culturing of 2.2.15 cell line.
