Methods: Conducting a systematic literature search across databases and guideline websites from inception to October 2020, combined with qualitative interviews, we established a preliminary pool of indicators.

Epstein-Barr virus immediate-early protein Zta mediates the proliferation and migration of HER2-overexpressing cancer cells.

Epstein-Barr virus immediate-early protein Zta plays an active role in altering cellular gene expression, which may be fundamentally linked to the viral life cycle, cell cycle, cell growth, and differentiation. HER2 is associated with a wide variety of human cancers, and its knockdown significantly reverses the malignant features of HER2-positive cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of Zta in regulating HER2 expression and phenotype changes of MDA-MB-453 cells.

Three-Dimensional Quantitative Structure and Activity Relationship of Flavones on Their Hypochlorite Scavenging Capacity.

Flavonoids, a class of polyphenolic substances widely present in the plant realm, are considered as ideal hypochlorite scavengers. However, to our knowledge, little study has focused on the structure-activity relationship between flavonoids and hypochlorite scavenging capacity. Herein, we report for the first time the three-dimensional quantitative structure and activity relationship (3D-QSAR) combined with comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA).

Structure and Anti-Inflammatory Activity Relationship of Ergostanes and Lanostanes in .

is a precious edible mushroom originating from Taiwan that has been popularly used for adjuvant hepatoprotection and anti-inflammation; however, the chemical principle for its anti-inflammatory activity has not been elucidated, which prevents the quality control of related products. Using the RAW264.7 model for the anti-inflammatory activity assay as a guide, we reported the isolation and structural elucidation of three potent anti-inflammatory compounds from isolated ergostanes (16) and lanostanes (6).

Needs assessment instruments for family caregivers of cancer patients receiving palliative care: a systematic review.

Antitumor effects of a recombinant fowlpox virus expressing Apoptin in vivo and in vitro.

Apoptin is a chicken anemia virus-derived, p53-independent, bcl-2-insensitive apoptotic protein with the ability to specifically induce apoptosis in tumor cells. To explore the use of the Apoptin gene in cancer gene therapy, we constructed a recombinant fowlpox virus expressing the Apoptin protein (vFV-Apoptin) and compared the tumor-killing activity of the recombinant virus with that of wild-type fowlpox virus in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2. We found that although cells were somewhat resistant to the basal cytotoxic effect of wild-type fowlpox virus, infection with vFV-Apoptin caused a pronounced, additional cytotoxic effect.

Induction of an effective anti-tumor immune response and tumor regression by combined administration of IL-18 and Apoptin.
