Microvenular hemangioma (MVH) is an uncommon benign vascular neoplasm that usually occurs as a solitary asymptomatic red or purple papule, nodule, or plaque with a predilection for the upper extremities. Patients with more than 1 lesion, that is, multiple MVHs, are extremely rare. We describe the clinicopathologic features of 4 Chinese patients who had a rapidly progressive abrupt onset of numerous MVHs numbering in the tens to hundreds.

We evaluated the effect of daunorubicin (DNR)-loaded magnetic nanoparticles of Fe3O4 (MNPs-Fe3O4) on K562-n/VCR cells in vivo. K562-n and its MDR counterpart K562-n/VCR cell were inoculated into nude mice subcutaneously.

This study was to determine the reversal effect of Fe3O4-magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) on DDP-resistance of ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3/DDP, and to explore its correlation with apoptosis-associated genes.
Methods: SKOV3/DDP cells were divided into the DDP group, the Fe3O4-MNPs group, the combination (DDP plus Fe3O4-MNPs) group, and the control group.
