Correlation between Pokemon and Mouse Double Minute 2-Homolong in Carcinogenesis of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Rats

Issue:

Vol 65, Issue 4: 2016 – Health Science

DOI:

Pages:

603-7

Synopsis:

This research was to investigate the correlation between proto-oncogene POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor (Pokemon) and oncogene mouse double minute 2 homolong (MDM2). We found that Pokemon and MDM2 were highly expressed in rat lungs following carcinogenesis of lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Abdominal Apoplexy after Pulmonary Lobectomy for Lung Cancer

Issue:

Vol 67, Issue 3: 2018

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.064

Pages:

289-91

ABSTRACT

Abdominal apoplexy is a rare clinical entity, and its clinical manifestations are diverse. This case report is of a 52-year-old man who developed right upper abdominal pain with unstable haemodynamics 32 hours after right upper pulmonary lobectomy for lung carcinoma. Abdominal computed tomography showed a ruptured right gastric artery aneurysm.

Primary Endobronchial Leiomyoma

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.567

ABSTRACT

Leiomyoma accounts for less than 2% of the benign tumours of the lung. These lesions are usually asymptomatic. However, they can present symptoms depending on the localization. The HRCT of a 57-year-old male patient with cough, sputum and shortness of breath ongoing for 2 months revealed a 5 mm lesion in the inferior lingular bronchus. The report of the bronchoscopic biopsy was leiomyoma, and the patient underwent lingulectomy.

Cigarette Smoking Increases Pregnancy-associated Plasma Protein-A in Men

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 1: 2017

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.371

Pages:

150–3

Synopsis:

Elevation of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), is considered as an independent risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We found significantly high PAPP-A level in the serum of male smokers and this may indicate a higher risk for ACS among these men.

Cassia alata Leaf Extract Induces Cytotoxicity in A549 Lung Cancer Cells via a Mechanism that is Caspase 8 Dependent

Issue:

Vol 60, Issue 6 (2011)

Pages:

608–14

Synopsis:

The cytotoxic effect of a hexane extract of Cassia alata (C alata) leaves in parental and Caspase 8, 3 and 9 negative A549 lung cancer cells was evaluated after a 24-hour treatment period. C alata extract was cytotoxic in parental and caspase-9 negative, but not caspase 3 and 8 negative A549 cells. The IC50 values were 143 μg/ml and 145 μg/ml in parental and caspase 9 negative A549 cells respectively. The flavanoid kaempferol was identified as a constituent of C alata leaf extract. These results suggest a cytotoxic effect of C alata that is dependent on caspase 8.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the cytotoxic effect of a hexane extract of Cassia alata leaves in A549 lung cancer cells.

The Importance of Smoking Cessation as Part of Lung Cancer Control Measures in Japan

Issue:

Vol 59, issue 6 (2010)

Pages:

726

INTRODUCTION

A study of annual trends in the number of deaths and mortality rate in Japan found that lung cancer is one of the most frequent causes of death (1). Lung cancer is clearly associated with cigarette smoking (2). Thus, this paper reviews reports on the importance of measures to stop smoking as part of lung cancer control measures in Japan and it discusses how these findings can be linked to more specific preventive measures.
