DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL AND DENTAL DISEASES

Tumor recurrence and metastasis occur at a high rate in patients with colon cancer. Identification of effective strategies for the treatment of colon cancer is critical. Recently, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been shown to have potential as a broad therapeutic drug delivery system.

MiR-193b is differentially expressed between chemosensitive and chemoresistant oesophageal cancer cells
We undertook miRNA expression profiling of a panel of oesophageal cancer cell lines which differ in their response to treatment with chemotherapy drugs. Two[r]

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The only drug currently approved for clinical use in the treatment of advanced HCC is sorafenib. However, many patients with HCC show reduced sensitivity to sorafenib during treatment.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) provide an effective treatment option for selected patients with colorectal peritoneal metastasis with encouraging survival results. Many different drug combinations and HIPEC regimens including bidirectional, i.e. syn[r]

Candidosis or Candidiasis caused by various species of Candida is the commonest fungal disease found in human beings and is among the four most common causes of nosocomial infections. Antifungal resistance poses a major public health concern. Lack of routine diagnostic testing for fungal diseases ex[r]

Targeted therapies are emerging treatment options for gastric cancer (GC). Patient-derived tumor xenograft(PDX) models of GC closely retain the features of the original clinical cancer, offering a powerful tool for preclinical drug efficacy testing.

Efficiency of colorectal carcinoma treatment by chemotherapy is diminished as the resistance develops over time in patients. The same holds true for 5-fluorouracil, the drug used in first line chemotherapy of colorectal carcinoma.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) need to be approached carefully given the high incidence of pulmonary toxicity. Pemetrexed (PEM) is the key drug for the treatment of NSCLC.

: Integrated health care delivery systems, with their comprehensive and integrated electronic medical records (EMR), are well-poised to conduct research that leverages the detailed clinical data within the EMRs. However, information regarding the representativeness of these clinical populations is l[r]

A common approach to cancer therapy in clinical practice is the combination of several drugs to boost the anticancer activity of available drugs while suppressing their unwanted side effects. s. In this regard, we examined the efficacy of combination treatment with the widely-used genotoxic drug dox[r]

In this chapter, we examine one of the most important and widely used categories of operating systems: embedded operating systems. The embedded system environment places unique and demanding requirements on the OS and calls for design strategies quite different than that found in ordinary operating[r]

Progressive bone pain and fracture and abnormal positron emission tomography combined with a computed tomography are main reasons for the oncologists suspecting bone tumor. During the patient’s medical treatment, the oncologists’ unfamiliarity with adverse reactions to anti-HBV drugs were main reaso[r]

Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is considered to be a large challenge for clinicians due to the variable overlaps of symptoms with other severe diseases and a high rate of mortality. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid a fatal outcome.

After the approval of pazopanib for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), pneumothorax was reported as an unexpected adverse event during pazopanib treatment. The incidence and risk factors of pneumothorax during pazopanib treatment for STSs have not been established yet.

In this chapter, we introduce many concepts associated with multithreaded computer systems, including a discussion of the APIs for the Pthreads, Windows, and Java thread libraries. We look at a number of issues related to multithreaded programming and its effect on the design of operating systems. F[r]

Cleft lip and palate are common birth defects in Vietnam and the
world. Globally, the proportion of newborns suffering from this type of
disability ranges from 1/750 - 1/1000, particularly on the geographical
area and socio-economic conditions in that region. In Vietnam, this[r]
