Abstract Background Although many human papillomavirus (HPV)–targeted therapeutic vaccines have been examined for efficacy in clinical trials, none translated into use. These previous agents were mostly administered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection to induce systemic immunity. We investigated the safety and of an HPV-16 E7-expressing lacticaseibacillus-based oral vaccine. Methods In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, total 165 patients with HPV-16–positive...
Cervical cancer (CC) incidence and mortality among young women have been increasing in Japan. To develop effective measures to combat this, we assessed the feasibility of using a social networking site (SNS) recruit representative sample conduct knowledge attitude study about CC prevention via an internet-based questionnaire.From July 2012 March 2013, advertising banners targeting aged 16 35 years Kanagawa Prefecture were placed on Facebook similar manner as Australian (AUS) conducted 16-...
In this study, we compared the long-term effects of neonatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES, 0.0125-50 microg), tamoxifen (TAM, and toremifene (TOR, 53 microg) on mammary gland development differentiation. Allometric growth ducts was stimulated by DES (12.5 impaired TAM (25 microg). Neonatal treatment with high doses resulted in that displayed extensive dilatation precocious lactogenesis postpubertal, nulliparous females. Initiation differentiation coincided absence corpora lutea,...
Prolactin, a peptide hormone essential for the development and function of reproductive organs, is involved in breast, prostate colorectal cancers. However, role prolactin on carcinogenesis ovarian carcinomas unclear. In this study, we show that mRNA receptor expressed 5 out 9 carcinoma cell lines, 15 17 cases surgical samples all normal surface epithelium, while transcript detected only 1 line samples. For receptor-positive cells, exogenous did not affect proliferation but markedly...
