Interaction between microRNA and KRAS in Glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM) characterized byits rapid progression and challenging prognosis, often featuring mutations in the Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) gene, which is crucial for numerous cellular signaling mechanisms. Emerging research underscores a significant interaction between KRAS and microRNAs (miRNAs) in these cancers, with miRNAs playing key roles as both regulators and mediators within the KRAS signaling framework. The concept of oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is explored as a protective mechanism against tumor development, examining how K-RAS signaling is meticulously adjusted to bypass senescence, thereby enhancing cell growth and survival.

Artificial intelligence in surgery: evolution, trends, and future directions.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly transforming surgery by enhancing precision, decision-making, and patient outcomes. This bibliometric analysis examines AI's impact on surgery, highlighting research trends, key contributors, and evolving themes from 1998 to 2024. Utilizing data from the Web of Science Core Collection and analyzed through the Bibliometrix tool, the study reviews publication trends, author impact, institutional contributions, country-specific research activities, and keyword frequency.

The Mechanism of Action of Exosomes Derived from Glioblastoma Cells.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive and lethal brain tumor characterized by rapid growth, invasive behavior, and resistance to conventional therapies, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Despite these interventions, patient survival remains poor due to the tumor's ability to recur and adapt to treatments. The function of GBM-derived exosomes (GBM-exosomes) as essential mediators in tumor growth has drawn attention in recent years.

Comparative analysis of the levels of soluble forms of receptor and ligand of the immunity control point PD-1/PD-L1 in the blood serum of patients with typical bone osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma.

Results of ELISA investigation of the pretreatment sPD-1 and sPD-L1 content in blood serum of 133 bone neoplasms patients aged 6-70 years and 57 practically healthy control persons aged 12-70 years are described. In 14 patients the neoplasms were of a benign character, in 16 - borderline giant-cell bone tumor was diagnosed, and in 103 - malignant bone lesions including 39 osteosarcomas and 42 chondrosarcomas were revealed. The sPD-1 receptor concentrations in blood serum did not differ between control healthy persons and primary bone tumor patients, while serum sPD-L1 level in bone tumor patients was statistically significantly increased (p<0.

Key Immune Checkpoint PD-1/PD-L1 Signaling Pathway Components in the Blood Serum from Patients with Bone Tumors.

The levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 were analyzed in blood serum of 132 patients (age 14-70 years) with primary bone tumors: osteosarcoma (N=39), chondrosarcoma (N=42), Ewing sarcoma (N=9), chordoma (N=12), giant-cell bone tumor (GCBT) (N=16), benign neoplasms (N=14) and in and practically healthy subjects (age 19-58 years; N=27). sPD-L1 levels in all studied bone neoplasms were significantly higher than in the control. Serum sPD-1 level in GCBT patients was significantly higher than in the control, benign neoplasms, chondrosarcoma, and chordoma patients, but did not differ from osteosarcoma group.

[The possibilities of treatment of recurrent colorectal cancer with sacral invasion].

Aim: To describe current methods of surgical treatment of rare form of recurrent rectal cancer with sacral invasion.

Material And Methods: The article presents the methodology for the treatment of patients with recurrent colorectal cancer and sacral invasion using preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by high-tech surgery of recurrent tumor removal with sacral resection at various levels (including high intersection at S1 level).

Conclusion: It was concluded that chemoradiotherapy is indicated in patients with recurrent colorectal cancer if it was not made at the first stage of treatment.

Symmetry breaking gives rise to energy spectra of three states of matter.

A fundamental task of statistical physics is to start with a microscopic Hamiltonian, predict the system's statistical properties and compare them with observable data. A notable current fundamental challenge is to tell whether and how an interacting Hamiltonian predicts different energy spectra, including solid, liquid and gas phases. Here, we propose a new idea that enables a unified description of all three states of matter.

[Treatment of limb osteosarcoma at the turn of the century (half century of experience in research)].

The Russian Cancer Research Center has experience in diagnosing and treating more than 800 patients with osteosarcoma who have been treated at the Clinic of General Oncology since 1952. Survival rates were no more than 10% before the 1970s when the only treatment was surgical. The use of adjuvant chemotherapy after radical surgery has increased survival up to 45-60%.

[Effect of total laser irradiation on migration of mature cells in rat bone marrow].

In experiment on 50 white Wistar male rats, total laser radiation was assessed as regards its effect on bone marrow structure and cells migration into the blood and small intestinal mucosa. The unit "ILGI-101" was used on the basis of copper laser for a single radiation procedure. As shown by light and electron microscopy, morphometry, copper laser single total irradiation causes material changes in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of rats.

[Effect of copper vapor laser on the microrelief and ultrastructure of gastric mucosal glandulocytes].

It was investigated the influence of low intensive irradiation by the copper++ vapor laser (lambda-510.6 nm) on the glandulocytes of gastric mucosa of 28 white rats. The doses of endogastric irradiation were 6.

[Comparative volume of membrane microflora and morphology of the epitheliocytes during irradiation of chronic stomach ulcer with helium-neon laser in association with vagotomy].

Effect of complex influence of subdiaphragmal vagotomy (VT) and experimental chronic gastric ulcers (GU) thrice-repeated radiation with helium-neon laser (HNL) on mucosal morphology and relative membrane microflora (MM) volume has been studied with the methods of transmission electron and light microscopy in 77 Wistar rats. Observed MM relative volume increase in GU and VT decreases with GU HNL radiation. This is due to fundal glands epitheliocytes "disregenerative" alterations decrease.

[Effects of gastric mucosa irradiation with helium-neon laser on epithelial cells].

Effect of various doses of low-tense laser irradiation on proliferative and functional morphology of fundal gastric epitheliocytes in rats was studied by endogastric irradiation with the methods of histochemistry, autoradiography, transmission and scanning electron microscopy. It was shown that laser irradiation effect varied with its dose and was spread on gastric mucosa lying at the site of direct influence. The doses of irradiation that had no alternative effect induced reconstruction of epitheliocytes especially mucocytes indicating intensification of specific function in them, as well as an increase of proliferative activity.
