The Asian Society of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis guidelines for managing adenomyosis.

This is the first guidelines for adenomyosis from the Asian Society of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis.

Use of serum copper and zinc levels in the diagnostic evaluation of endometrioma and epithelial ovarian carcinoma.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate serum copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) levels in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and endometrioma.

Materials And Methods: We included 21 epithelial ovarian cancer patients, 47 endometrioma patients, 31 healthy women of reproductive age, and 10 healthy women in menopause. Cu and Zn levels and Cu/Zn ratios were compared.

Toluidine blue O attenuates tau phosphorylation in N2a-APPSwe cells.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by extracellular amyloid plaques composed of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), intracellular neurofibrillary tangles containing hyperphosphorylated tau protein and neuronal loss. Most of the FDA-approved AD drugs currently on the market are cholinesterase inhibitors, which are only effective in relieving the symptoms of AD. However, recent studies in AD drug discovery focus on multi-targeted strategies, including anti-amyloid and anti-tau therapy.

Chlorpyrifos oxon crosslinking of amyloid beta 42 peptides is a new route for generation of self-aggregating amyloidogenic oligomers that promote Alzheimer's disease.

Epidemiological evidence suggests that people chronically exposed to organophosphorus pesticides are at increased risk of neurodegenerative disease. Covalently linked amyloid beta dimers have been isolated from the brains of Alzheimer's patients. The toxic forms of amyloid beta are amyloid dimers that spontaneously oligomerize.

Effects of toluidine blue O and methylene blue on growth and viability of pancreatic cancer cells.

Amyloid precursor-like protein-2 (APLP2) and its C-terminal fragments (CTFs) are expressed at high levels in pancreatic cancer cells and knockdown of APLP2 expression inhibits tumor growth. CTFs are released from APLP2 by beta-secretase (BACE). In this study, our goal was to determine whether methylene blue (MethB) and toluidine blue O (TBO) could be used to slow down the growth and viability of pancreatic cancer cells (Hs 766T).
