Unveiling miRNA30b's Role in Suppressing ADAM12 to Combat Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer, a subtype of breast cancer, is characterized by a poor prognosis. Recent studies have shown that miRNA30b acts as an oncogene and is vital for the proliferation of malignancies across various systems. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of miRNA30b on the proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities of breast cancer cells .

Fabrication of bimetallic Ag@ZnO nanocomposite and its anti-cancer activity on cervical cancer via impeding PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Introduction: Bimetallic nanoparticles, specifically Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Silver (Ag), continue to much outperform other nanoparticles investigated for a variety of biological uses in the field of cancer therapy. This study introduces biosynthesis of bimetallic silver/zinc oxide nanocomposites (Ag@ZnO NCs) using the Crocus sativus extract and evaluates their anti-cancer properties against cervical cancer.

Methods: The process of generating bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs), namely Ag@ZnO NCs, through the utilization of Crocus sativus extract proved to be uncomplicated and eco-friendly.

Clinical Outcomes and Prognostic Analysis of 101 Patients of Central Neurocytoma: A 10-Year Treatment Experience at a Single Institution.

Objective: Central neurocytoma (CN) is a rare type of tumor that currently lacks an optimal treatment protocol. This study aimed to explore the clinical outcomes of CN in a cohort of 101 patients and identify prognostic factors associated with multiple treatment modalities.

Methods: This monocentric study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 101 CN patients who underwent surgical resection.

Long-Term Survival Outcomes and Treatment Experience of 64 Patients With Esthesioneuroblastoma.

Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare sinonasal malignancy, lacking a unified staging system and treatment. Management at a single center was retrospectively evaluated to inform future treatment options and prognostic factors. Clinical data of 64 consecutive ENB patients, including prognostic factors and treatment methods, were reviewed retrospectively.

Comparison of Dosimetric Gains Provided by Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy, Volume-Modulated Arc Therapy, and Helical Tomotherapy for High-Grade Glioma.

Purpose: Because of the poor prognosis for high-grade glioma (HGG) patients, it is important to increase the dose of the tumor to improve the efficacy while minimizing the dose of organs at risk (OARs). Thus, we evaluated the potential dosimetric gains of helical tomotherapy (HT) versus intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or volume-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for high-grade glioma (HGG).

Methods: A total of 42 HGG patients were retrospectively selected who had undergone helical tomotherapy; then, IMRT and VMAT plans were generated and optimized for comparison after contouring crucial neuronal structures for neurogenesis and neurocognitive function.
