Antitumor activity of α-pinene in T-cell tumors.

T-cell acute leukemia and lymphoma have a poor prognosis. Although new therapeutic agents have been developed, their therapeutic effects are suboptimal. α-Pinene, a monoterpene compound, has an antitumor effect on solid tumors; however, few comprehensive investigations have been conducted on its impact on hematologic malignancies.

Impact of Different Attitudes toward Face-to-Face and Online Classes on Learning Outcomes in Japan.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, online-based learning has become mainstream in many countries, and its learning outcomes have been evaluated. However, various studies have shown that online-based learning needs to be optimized in the future, and the number of reports for this purpose is currently not sufficient. The purpose in this study was to determine the relationship between academic performance and attitudes toward face-to-face and remote formats among Japanese pharmacy students enrolled in a course designed for knowledge acquisition.

Effect of prior knowledge and peer evaluation ratings on final exam performance in a team-based learning chemistry course.

Introduction: Various reports have been published regarding adoption of team-based learning (TBL) in pharmacy education. However, there is insufficient published evidence on the effect of student characteristics on student learning outcomes in a TBL curriculum. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of pre-study examination results and peer evaluation ratings on learning outcomes.

Panel-based next-generation sequencing facilitates the characterization of childhood acute myeloid leukemia in clinical settings.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) accounts for ~20% of pediatric leukemia cases. The prognosis of pediatric AML has been improved in recent decades, but it trails that of most other types of pediatric cancer, with mortality rates of 30-40%. Consequently, newer more targeted drugs are required for incorporation into treatment plans.
