2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), a mutagen/carcinogen belonging to the class of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) found in cooked meats, is a known rat mammary gland carcinogen. To gain insight into the genomic alterations associated with PhIP-induced carcinogenesis, we used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to examine chromosomal abnormalities in rat mammary gland carcinomas induced by PhIP. The alterations were compared to those induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), a potent and well-studied mammary carcinogen. All six PhIP-induced carcinomas examined by CGH showed losses in the same specific regions of chromosomes 2, 3, 11, 18, and X, whereas three carcinomas induced by DMBA showed no consistent patterns of chromosomal gain or loss. This indicates that PhIP has a recognizable cytogenetic signature in rat mammary gland carcinomas.

Intermediate filaments (IFs) play a major role in determining and maintaining cell shape and anchoring intracellular organelles in place, in the tissues and organs of several species, starting from the early stages of development. This study was aimed at the immunohistochemical investigation of the presence, cellular localization and temporal distribution of the intermediate filaments keratin 8 (CK8), keratin 18 (CK18), keratin 19 (CK19), vimentin, desmin and laminin, all of which contribute to the formation of the cytoskeleton in the rat mammary gland during pregnancy, lactation and involution. On days 7, 14 and 21 of pregnancy (pregnancy period), on day 7 post-delivery (lactation period) and on day 7 post-weaning (involution period), under ketamine hydrochloride (Ketalar-Pfizer) (90 mg/kg) anesthesia, two mammary glands were fully excised from the abdominal region.

Bone cancer pain (BCP) is one of the most severe complications faced by patients with cancer; however, current pharmacological options are limited. Curcumin has been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties; however, our preliminary research found that the analgesic efficiency of curcumin is not high in BCP. Consequently, curcumin analogs have emerged as a significant focus of our research.

The study comprehensively investigated the therapeutic potential of triterpenoid saponin extract (GST), encompassing its hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, and anticancer activities. The study employed a Prednisolone (PRD)-induced immunosuppressed rat model to assess the hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory effects of GST. Using this model, GST was found to modulate haematopoiesis, improving RBC, platelet, and WBC counts, underscoring its potential in hematopoietic homeostasis.

Background: Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) and oral mucositis (OM) are common adverse events during cancer chemotherapy and can significantly decrease patients' quality of life and chemotherapy adaptation, however, prevention strategies of these complications yet to be established.
Methods: Patients with stage I-III breast cancer, who had surgery and needed pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD)-based adjuvant chemotherapy were screened, recruited and randomly assigned to receive either probiotics or placebo (three capsules, twice/day) treatment during the course of chemotherapy from Nov. 2019 to Aug.
