Antitumor Effects of Turmeric on OVCAR-3 Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines.

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological malignancy, usually not detected until the late stages. In vitro cell culture is a method used to study the behavior of cells in a controlled environment. Turmeric has attracted the attention of scientists due to its anticancer potential.

Antitumor Effects of L-citrulline on Hela Cervical Cancer Cell Lines.

Aim: Cervical cancer is the deadliest gynecological malignancy. This study aims to examine the anticancer effects of L-citrulline on HeLa cell culture.

Materials And Methods: HeLa cells were cultured in complete Eagle's minimum essential medium.

The association of various obstetric and perinatal factors with retinopathy of prematurity.

Purpose: To analyze the effects of various obstetric and perinatal factors on the severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods: Infants born at ≤ 32 weeks of gestation, with less than 1500 g gestational weight and having at least stage 1 ROP, were reviewed. Group1A included treatment-requiring ROP (TR-ROP), and group 2A included the remaining patients not requiring treatment.

Induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation by the cyclooxgenase enzyme blocker nimesulide in the Ishikawa endometrial cancer cell line.

Objectives: Endometrial cancer remains a leading cause of death in women and therefore the development of new therapies is essential. The present study evaluated the effects of nimesulide alone, cisplatin alone, and combination of cisplatin and nimesulide on an Ishikawa cell line with respect to cytotoxicity and induction of apoptosis in vitro.

Study Design: Ishikawa cells were treated with increasing doses of nimesulide alone, cisplatin alone, and a combination of cisplatin and nimesulide.
