Immunohistochemical Expression of Caspase1 and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in Invasive Breast Carcinoma and Their Biological and Prognostic Associations.

Background: Despite advances in breast carcinoma therapies, drug resistance mechanisms as anti-apoptosis and anti-pyroptosis limit the application of these therapies. This work assesses the immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of Caspase1 and EGFR in breast carcinoma and analyzes their clinicopathological associations as prognostic markers and potential therapeutic targets. Caspase1/EGFR expression patterns are utilized to specify breast carcinoma patients who may benefit from these therapies.

Immunohistochemical Expression of CD47 and CD68 in Breast Carcinoma and Their Prognostic Value.

Background: Cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) has been identified as a new immune checkpoint. The exact role of CD47 in prognosis of breast cancer remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of CD47 in breast cancer, and to measure the density of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) infiltration by CD68 IHC staining.

The immunomodulatory effects of roflumilast on tachyzoite-bradyzoite transition in a murine model of Toxoplasma gondii.

Roflumilast, a phosphodiesterase 4-inhibitor (PDE-4), shows immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. It modulates cAMP and TNF-α levels that play a role in the differentiation of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) tachyzoite to bradyzoite stage.

Activity of isoflavone biochanin A in chronic experimental toxoplasmosis: impact on inflammation.

Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide prevalent parasite. The infection has been linked to variable inflammatory effects including neuroinflammation. Biochanin A (BCA) is an isoflavone, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties.

Evaluation of the role of Notch1 expression in hepatic carcinogenesis with clinico-pathological correlation.

The role of Notch pathway in hepatocarcinogenesis is unclear with conflicting results reported from different researchers. This study aimed to investigate the exact role of Notch1 in hepatocarcinogenesis and its influence on survival and to determine the possibility of it being a target therapy. Differential immunohistochemical expression of Notch1 in 100 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and adjacent non-neoplastic liver tissue was performed.
