Total alkaloids of - and matrine-induced reactive oxygen species impair biofilm formation of and increase bacterial susceptibility to ciprofloxacin.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism by which total alkaloids of (TASA) and matrine (MT) impair biofilm to increase the susceptibility of () to ciprofloxacin.

Methods: The minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (mBIC) was determined using a 2-fold dilution method. Structure of biofilm of was examined by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM).

A prognostic nomogram for overall survival in male breast cancer with histology of infiltrating duct carcinoma after surgery.

Objective: The study was designed to construct and validate a nomogram for predicting overall survival (OS) of male breast cancer (MBC) patients with infiltrating duct carcinoma (IDC).

Methods: The cohort was selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2013. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard (PH) regression models were performed.

Construction and validation of a nomogram to predict overall survival in patients with inflammatory breast cancer.

In the present study, we examined the factors affecting survival of women with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and constructed and validated a nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) in these patients. The cohort was selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2013. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were constructed.

Extent of breast cancer type 1 promoter methylation correlates with clinicopathological features in breast cancers.

Aim Of Study: The current meta-analysis investigated the correlation between breast cancer type 1 (BRCA1) promoter methylation and the clinicopathological features of breast cancer (BC).

Materials And Methods: An electronic literature search was performed to identify and select cohort studies, by employing stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, for data relevant to promoter methylation of BRCA1 and BC. Statistical analysis of the extracted data was performed using comprehensive meta-analysis 2.
