Unlabelled: Ameloblastoma behavior is related to the potential of tumor cells to inhibit apoptosis and to initiate a proliferative phase. This study was performed to compare the immunoexpression of Survivin with Bcl-2, Bax, and Ki-67 and to associate them with the histopathological type of each variant of ameloblastoma.
Material And Methods: Using the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for ameloblastoma, 110 cases were selected. The cases were classified as solid/multicystic and unicystic ameloblastomas. Cellular counts of cytoplasmic immunoexpression were assessed for cytoplasmic Survivin, Bcl-2, and Bax, while the nuclear immunoexpression of Survivin and Ki-67 was assessed using label index.
Results: Cytoplasmic Survivin and Bcl-2 showed higher percentages of immunoexpression in solid multicystic ameloblastomas compared to unicystic ameloblastomas (P < 0.05). Bax, Ki-67, and nuclear Survivin were expressed in higher percentages in unicystic ameloblastomas.
Conclusions: Cytoplasmic Survivin and Bcl-2 immunoexpression levels were elevated in relation to Bax immunoexpression, suggesting aggressive ameloblastoma behavior, while Ki-67 and nuclear Survivin immunoexpression may be associated with the type of tumor morphology that influences cellular counts or with the greater capacity for cellular proliferation and tumor growth.

Cancer, particularly skin cancer, is a major cause of mortality worldwide, with melanoma being one of the most aggressive and challenging to treat types. Current therapeutic options, such as dacarbazine (DTIC), have limitations due to dose-related toxicities like liver toxicity. Therefore, there is a need for new and effective treatments for melanoma.

Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the toxic side effects and drug resistance of chemotherapeutic drugs on normal cells are still a thorny problem in clinical treatment. Dendrobium is one of the three largest genera of Orchidaceous family, which has ornamental and medicinal value.

In B-cell malignancies, the overexpression of MYC is associated with poor prognosis, but its mechanism underlying resistance to immunochemotherapy remains less clear. In further investigations of this issue, we show here that the pharmacological inhibition of MYC in various lymphoma and multiple myeloma cell lines, as well as patient-derived primary tumor cells, enhances their susceptibility to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity induced by conventional antibodies targeting CD20 (rituximab) and CD38 (daratumumab), as well as T cell-mediated cytotoxicity induced by the CD19-targeting bispecific T-cell engager blinatumomab. This was associated with upregulation of the target antigen only for rituximab, suggesting additional escape mechanisms.
