Four newly synthesized salts of ethoxyquin (EQ: 1,2-dihydro-6-ethoxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline), an antioxidant used in animal feeds, were evaluated with the use of the comet assay performed on human lymphocytes: ethoxyquin ascorbate, ethoxyquin hexanoate, ethoxyquin salicylate and ethoxyquin salt of Trolox C (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid). In the study the abilities of these compounds to cause DNA fragmentation and to protect against H2O2-induced DNA damage were analysed. The obtained results were compared with those noted earlier for EQ. After EQ salts treatments (1-25 microM) the genotoxic effects were observed, but the genotoxic potentials of the compounds studied were lower than that of EQ. On the other hand, EQ salts, similarly to EQ, effectively protected the cells from oxidative effect of H2O2. EQ hexanoate was the most effective and its antioxidant activity was even slightly higher than that of EQ. We suggest that it is worth further detailed studies to estimate its usefulness as a preservative.

Sonographic "Comet Tail" Artifacts in the Urinary Bladder in a Case of Type V Hyperlipidemia: A Previously Unreported Association.
J Med Ultrasound

Department of Pathology, INHS Asvini, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
The case pertains to a 29-year-old male who presented with epigastric pain at the hospital. On evaluation, he was sonographically detected to have "comet tail" reverberation artifacts involving the echogenic floaters in the lumen of the urinary bladder. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with Type V hyperlipidemia and acute pancreatitis.

Objectives: The chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) affects not only cancer cells but also healthy cells in an undesirable manner. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective roles of rosmarinic acid (RA) and Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) alone and in combination against DOX-induced oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity in healthy cells. In addition, this study evaluated the expression of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein in the Chinese hamster ovary cell line (CHO-K1).

Background: Radiotherapy is the primary treatment modality for most head and neck cancers (HNCs). Despite the addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy to enhance its tumoricidal effects, almost a third of HNC patients suffer from locoregional relapses. Salvage therapy options for such recurrences are limited and often suboptimal, partly owing to divergent tumor and microenvironmental factors underpinning radioresistance.

Background: Adherence of Helicobacter pylori to the surface of the gastric mucosa is the initial and crucial step for its survival and colonization in the harsh conditions of the stomach. We had previously demonstrated that daphnetin has anti-adhesion effect.
Purpose: This study aims to explore the mechanisms of daphnetin to reduce H.

Department of Radiation Oncology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, No. 467 of Zhongshan Road, Shahekou District, Dalian, 116023, China.
Objective: Cervical cancer is a common malignancy among women, and radiotherapy remains a primary treatment modality across all disease stages. However, resistance to radiotherapy frequently results in treatment failure, highlighting the need to identify novel therapeutic targets to improve clinical outcomes.
Methods: The expression of molecule interacting with CasL-2 (MICAL2) was confirmed in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines through western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
