Effects of Ginkgo biloba extract EGb761 on human colon adenocarcinoma cells.

Aims: To investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) on cell proliferation and apoptosis in human colon cancer cells.

Methods: Human colon cancer cell lines (HT-29) were cultured and incubated with various concentrations (0-320 mg/l) of EGb 761 solution for up to 72 h. Cell viability, cell apoptosis, cell cycle, expression of caspase-3, the mRNA levels of p53, and Bcl-2 were assessed.

Unusual CT hyperattenuating dermoid cyst of cerebellum: a new case report and literature review.

Almost all intracranial dermoid cysts typically display low-density lesions on plain computerized tomography (CT) scans due to abundant lipids content. CT hyperattenuating dermoid cyst (CHADC) is very uncommon with only nine case reports in the literature update, which occurs exclusively in the posterior fossa. Moreover, CHADC with mural nodule is exceptionally rare, and only one such case was documented previously.

[Effect of the tumescent infiltration solution temperature on body temperature].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of tumescent infiltration solution temperature on core body temperature after liposuction.

Methods: 15 healthy female subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups to receive tumescent infiltration solution at 25 degrees C as group A, or at 37 degrees C as group B. All subjects were under epidural anesthesia.

Involvement of ROS/ASMase/JNK signalling pathway in inhibiting UVA-induced apoptosis of HaCaT cells by polypeptide from Chlamys farreri.

Polypeptide from Chlamys farreri (PCF), a novel marine active material isolated from gonochoric Chinese scallop C. farreri, has potential antioxidant activity and protective effect against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The aim was to investigate whether PCF protects HaCaT cells from apoptosis induced by UVA and explore related molecular mechanisms.
