Abstract: To investigate the effect and the possible influential mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the proliferation and metastasis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) CNE2Z cell line. NPC CNE2Z cell line were divided into 4 groups...

Role of elevated pressure in TRAIL-induced apoptosis in human lung carcinoma cells.
Abstract: TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL, Apo2L) is a promising anticancer agent with high specificity for cancer cells. Many strategies have been proposed to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, including the use of...
Postoperative ischemic bronchitis after lymph node dissection and primary lung cancer resection.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and symptoms of postoperative ischemic bronchitis (POIB) after systematic lymph node dissection (LND) and evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with primary lung cancer. From...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on postradiation xerostomia and saliva in patients with head and neck tumours.
Abstract: The study was designed to evaluate the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy on salivary gland function and the growth of salivary Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus and Candida albicans in patients with head and neck tumours who had undergone...
Safety and efficacy of early postoperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy with restriction of transfusions in patients with HCC who have undergone partial hepatectomy.
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusions promote postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a specific method of oxygen administration, which is independent of fluid...
Delayed wound infection after supracricoid partial laryngectomy following failure of high dose radiation.
Abstract: Past radiation therapy is known as a major risk factor promoting post-supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) complications. Risk of post-SCPL complications may further increase following failure of high dose radiation; in these patients, wound infection...
Effects of the combination of hyperbaric oxygen and 5-fluorouracil on proliferation and metastasis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells.
Abstract: We investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) and/or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the proliferation and metastasis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line CNE2Z and the underlying mechanisms involved. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) CNE2Z...
Oxygenation inhibits ovarian tumor growth by downregulating STAT3 and cyclin-D1 expressions.
Abstract: Hypoxia, which is commonly observed in many solid tumors, is a major impediment to chemo- or radiation therapy. Hypoxia is also known to overexpress/activate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) leading to tumor progression as well as...
[Practical treatment approach of radiation induced cystitis].
Abstract: Establish a pattern of behavior and treatment algorithm at the onset of hematuria in patients with a previous history of pelvic radiation, checking for this different treatment options reflected in the literature. Through performing a PubMed literature...
