A novel automated immunosensor assay has been developed for real-time measurement of the breast cancer biomarker CA15-3 in serum. The assay employed the kinetic-exclusion analytical technology of the KinExA™ 3200 instrument. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) beads coated with CA15-3 were used as capturing reagent, mouse anti-CA15-3 monoclonal antibody was used as primary antibody, and the fluorescence was monitored and recorded during the flow of the fluorescent-labeled antibody through the beads. The fluorescence signal retained on the beads was plotted versus CA15-3 concentration to generate a calibration curve. The concentrations of CA15-3 in the samples were then obtained by interpolation on the curve. The assay limit of detection was 0.2 IU mL(-1). This highly sensitive automated system allowed rapid and reliable quantification of CA15-3 without any matrix effect; analytical recovery of serum-spiked CA15-3 was 90.7%-108.6%±2.05%-7.45%. The precision of the sensor was satisfactory; relative standard deviation (RSD) was 3.8%-5.1% and 5.2%-7.4% for the intra- and inter-assay precision, respectively. The analytical performance of the proposed sensor was superior to the non-competitive sandwich immunoassays for CA15-3. The automated analysis by the sensor facilitated the processing of a large number of specimens, and the new sensor-based assay is anticipated to have a great value in measurement of CA15-3.

This study aimed to define the antitumor effect of ethanolic extract of Pistacia vera leaves (PEE) toward breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo using dimethyl-benz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced breast tumor in adult female rats. PEE showed a potent antioxidant effect toward both DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radicals with IC values of 72.6 and 107.

A satisfactory treatment for the dissemination of duodenal cancer has not yet been established. We describe a case of peritoneal dissemination and malignant ascites in duodenal cancer that was successfully treated with adoptive cell therapy with no adverse effects. A 72-year-old Japanese male patient with primary duodenal cancer with distal lymph node metastases received chemotherapy with S-1, an oral pyrimidine fluoridederived agent, and oxaliplatin after gastrojejunal bypass, which resulted in tumor shrinkage; however, peritoneal dissemination developed.

In the context of the oral cavity, an organic layer known as the mucosal pellicle (MP) adheres to the surface of the oral epithelium, playing a pivotal role in lubricating and safeguarding oral tissues. The formation of the MP is driven by interactions between a transmembrane mucin known as MUC1, located on the oral epithelium, and salivary secreted mucin, namely MUC5B and MUC7. This study aimed to investigate the function of MUC1 and the influence of its structure on MP lubrication properties.
