Regional lymph node recurrence after stereotactic body radiation therapy for lung cancer: Patterns of recurrence, treatment approaches, and clinical outcomes (KROG 21-09).

Purpose: To present the multi-institutional data on patterns of recurrence, treatment approaches, and clinical outcomes for regional lymph node (LN) recurrence after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for primary lung cancer.

Materials And Methods: The medical records of 114 patients who experienced regional LN recurrence as the first recurrence after lung SBRT were retrospectively reviewed. Patterns of recurrence were classified as local recurrence, regional recurrence, and distant metastasis.

Transferrin as a thermosensitizer in radiofrequency hyperthermia for cancer treatment.

One of the main characteristics of cancer tissues is poor development of neovascularization that results in a limited blood circulation. Because of this phenomenon, it is harder for cancer tissues to diffuse their elevated heat into other parts of the body. The scientific principle of radiofrequency hyperthermia relies on this quality of cancer tissues which with higher temperature becomes more apparent.

A critical role of hepatitis B virus polymerase in cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and steatosis.

Hepatitis B is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world; more than 350 million people are carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Chronic HBV infection (CHB) leads to liver diseases such as cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and steatosis. Despite its seriousness in terms of public health, the pathogenic mechanism of how CHB leads to liver diseases, especially cirrhosis and steatosis, remains unclear.

Gene expression profiles and physiological data from mice fed resveratrol-enriched rice DJ526.

The molecular mechanism underlying lifespan extension by resveratrol remains widely discussed. To help study this mechanism, we previously created resveratrol-enriched rice, DJ526, by transferring the resveratrol biosynthesis gene into Dongjin rice. DJ526 accumulates 1.

Treatment of obesity with the resveratrol-enriched rice DJ-526.

Obesity is the most prevalent disease in the world which poses a serious risk for various chronic diseases. However, currently there are not any therapeutic agents that reduce body weight without causing serious side effects. In order to prevent and/or treat obesity and related diseases through a nutraceutical approach, we created a resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice accumulating 1.
