The levels of free radical production, malondialdehyde concentration and antioxidant activity were estimated in ventricular liquor of the infants with primary hydrocephalus. It was shown that even in the case of uncomplicated hydrocephalus significant disorders in brain metabolism took place. In the patients with inflammatory or hemorrhagic complications the levels of malondialdehyde and free radicals were markedly increased as compared to the infants with "pure" hydrocephalus. The most significant disorders were revealed in the case of hemorrhagic complications. These data indicate the necessity of lipid peroxidation evaluation in liquor of the patients with hydrocephalus and help to workout indications for antioxidants including into the common therapy of this decrease.

The efficacy of photodynamic treatment (PDT) against deep-seated tumor is hindered by low penetration depth of light as well as hypoxic conditions which prevails in tumor. To overcome this limitation, Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing photosensitizers have been investigated actively. In the present study we evaluated the PDT efficacy of an NIR absorbing chlorophyll derivative 'Cycloimide Purpurin-18 (CIPp-18)' in Human Breast carcinoma (MCF-7) and cervical adenocarcinoma (Hela) cells under normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

The Lentinus edodes polysaccharide (LEP) was extracted with a new subcritical water extraction (SWE) enhanced with deep eutectic solvent (DES) method and then purified with a DEAE-52 cellulose column and a Sephadex G-100 column. Two purified polysaccharides (LEP1 and LEP2) were obtained and their structure, antioxidant activity, and immunomodulatory activity were analyzed. LEP1 and LEP2 were composed of mannose, glucose, and galactose with a molar ratio of 1:12.

Objectives: To evaluate the benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for patients with high-risk upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) using a large, well-curated multi-institutional database.

Patients And Methods: This study was a multi-institutional retrospective analysis conducted by the UTUC Collaborative Network (UCAN), combining data from 2276 patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterectomy at seven high-volume tertiary care centres in the United States. The UCAN data were analysed to evaluate the impact of response to NAC on survival outcomes in patients with UTUC.

Molecular Mechanism of N-Acetylcysteine Regulating Proliferation and Hormone Secretion of Granulosa Cells in Sheep.

Reprod Domest Anim

January 2025

Tianzhu County Animal Husbandry Technology Extension Station, Tianzhu, Gansu, China.

Granulosa cells (GCs) are pivotal in the development of ovarian follicles, serving not only as supportive cells but also as the primary producers of steroid hormones. The proliferation of these cells and the synthesis of steroid hormones are crucial for follicular development and atresia. In our study, GCs were isolated using follicular fluid aspiration and subsequently identified through immunofluorescence.
