A Case Report and Review of the LiteratureGliofibroma is a rare astrocytic tumor, composed glial component ranging from benign to high grade malignancy consistently mesenchymal component.Its exact biological behavior not fully known.In addition, histogenesis prognostic factors are also still debatable.We herein present case gliofibroma in 25-yr-old male with seizure.A computed tomographic scan brain showed 1.5 cm-sized, enhancing mass calcification.Histologically, tumor consisted fibrillary...
Combination therapy, which reduces the dosage intensity of individual drugs while increasing their efficacy, is not a novel approach for treatment cancer. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) an organic sulfur compound shown to act against tumor cells. Tamoxifen commercially available therapeutic agent breast malignancies.In current study, we analyzed combinatorial effect MSM and tamoxifen on suppression ER-positive cancer xenograft growth metastasis.

This research was done to identify the hospital arrival rate and factors related prehospital delay in arriving at an emergency medical center within golden time after symptom onset patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Data used from National Emergency Department Information System of Medical Center which reported that 2014, 9,611 went centers for infarction. Prehospital is analyzed by subdividing based on 2 hour.After infarction, 44.0%(4,233), were gender, age, region residence,...
N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is metabolized by the microsomal cytochrome p-450 into mainly N-hydroxymethyl- N-methylformamide (HMMF), which further breaks down to N-methyformamide (NMF). However, detailed mechanism of its toxicity remains unclear. We investigated metabolism and DMF using isolated perfused liver model. was added recirculating perfusate rat at concentrations 0, 10 25 mM. Samples were collected from inferior vena cava 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 minutes following addition DMF. The...
