Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Induces CAP2 Expression Promoting Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Liver Cancer Cells.

() has been addressed as a candidate biomarker in various cancer types. Previously, we have shown that is expressed during multi-step hepatocarcinogenesis; however, its underlying mechanisms in liver cancer cells are not fully elucidated yet. Here, we demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced expression, and which promoted migration and invasion of liver cancer cells.

Efficacy of a training program for long-term disease- free cancer survivors as health partners: a randomized controlled trial in Korea.

Background: To determine whether the Health Partner Program is effective in training long-term cancer survivors to be health coaches.

Materials And Methods: We randomly assigned cancer survivors who were selected through a rigorous screening process to either the Health Partner Program or the waiting-list control group. The program consisted of 8 weeks of training in health management, leadership, and coaching.

Dose evaluation of selective collimation effect in cephalography by measurement and Monte Carlo simulation.

Recently, simulations based on the Monte Carlo code have been increasingly applied for physics phenomena, patient dose and quality assurance of radiation systems. The objective of this study was to use Monte Carlo simulation and measurement to verify dose and dose reduction in cephalography. The collimator was constructed with 3-mm thick lead plate, and attached to the tube head to remove regions of disinterest in the radiation field.
