(GA), a plant of the family, has long been used as a traditional cure for inflammatory and metabolic illnesses. In addition to various model studies, the current work focuses on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of GA in human colon biopsies. The phenol components in GA aqueous extract (GAAE) were identified by Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry. The antioxidant ability of GAAE was tested utilizing chemiluminescence and flow cytometry using fluorescent yeasts n conjunction with PLB-985-human myeloid leukemia cells. Experiments on human colon biopsies after a biopsy challenge with Escherichia coli-lipopolysaccharides aimed to see if GAAE had an anti-inflammatory impact on human colon inflammation. Western blotting was used to assess the expression of several inflammatory markers. According to the findings, GAAE had a significant influence on hydrogen peroxide and cellular reactive oxygen species. GAAE inhibited the activities of cyclooxygenase 2 and nuclear factor B in inflamed biopsies, indicating anti-inflammatory action. The present study is the first to show that GA has a beneficial effect on human colon inflammation, thanks to its significant antioxidant activity . According to these preliminary data, GA may be utilized to treat a range of human inflammatory illnesses.

The synergistic bioactive effect of polyphenols can enhance the development of functional foods to prevent chronic diseases such as cancer. Curcumin and quercetin have been shown to possess anticancer properties. The combination of curcumin and quercetin has been shown to provide synergistic effects against cancer cell proliferation.

Background: CD3 bispecific antibody (CD3 bsAb) therapy has become an established treatment modality for some cancer types and exploits endogenous T cells irrespective of their specificity. However, durable clinical responses are hampered by immune escape through loss of tumor target antigen expression. Induction of long-lasting tumor-specific immunity might therefore improve therapeutic efficacy, but has not been studied in detail yet for CD3 bsAbs.

Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) of the colon is rare with a poor prognosis. Since the first description of a mixed neoplasm 100 years ago, the nomenclature has evolved, most recently with the 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. We describe our experience of a case of locoregionally advanced MiNEN of the descending colon treated with curative laparoscopic resection and adjuvant chemotherapy.

Maggots contain various kinds of polysaccharides and recent studies mostly concentrated on their anti-inflammatory functions. While the molecule mechanisms related to the polysaccharides inhibiting carcinogenesis remains unclear. Here we characterized the polysaccharides extracted from maggot (MEs) determining their anti-colon cancer potentials.

Background And Purpose: Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases in the general population, and is one of the main causes of changes in the population's illness profile. In this study, we assessed changes in the functional status and quality of life of patients in the first months of chemotherapy treatment.
Method: A prospective cohort study was carried out, collecting data from cancer patients seen at an outpatient clinic in the Midwest of Santa Catarina who had breast, lung, colon and rectum, prostate and head and neck cancer.
