question:
The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) against the human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63.', 'Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor diagnosed in the United States among adolescents and children. Treatments for osteosarcoma often result in diminished limb use or amputation. Because ALA-mediated PDT exhibits dual specificity in the context of tumor killing, this therapy could represent a less invasive, but effective, treatment for this disease.', 'To assess ALA dark toxicity in MG-63 cells, cells were incubated with varying concentrations of ALA, and cell viability was determined by crystal violet assay. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) accumulation was assessed subsequent to ALA incubation at various concentrations using spectrofluorometry. Cell death subsequent to ALA-PDT was determined by illuminating cells at a wavelength of 635nm at various light intensities subsequent to ALA incubation. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay.', 'ALA dark toxicity was observed only at the highest concentrations of 2, 5, and 10mM. Maximal PpIX concentration was observed at 0.5 and 1mM ALA, subsequent to a 24-h incubation. Maximal cell death with minimal light toxicity was observed at 0.5 and 1mM ALA after illumination with 0.6 and 3J/cm(2) light.
answer:
Does aminolevulinic Acid-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy cause Cell Death in MG-63 Human Osteosarcoma Cells?

question:
Despite the clinical efficacy of recombinant human erythropoietin (RHE) on chemotherapy-induced anemia, most cost-effectiveness studies have given unfavorable results.', 'To determine the cost of managing anemia in unselected patients receiving chemotherapy for lung cancer, and the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of RHE.', 'We constructed Markov models of two cohorts of patients who received (n=94) or did not receive (n=89) darbepoetin (one weekly injection when the hemoglobin level fell below 11 g/dl), focusing on changes in hemoglobin levels, transfusion requirements, anemia management costs, and the cost-effectiveness ratios of the two management strategies.', 'The use of RHE significantly reduced the proportion of patients needing transfusions (from 33.6% to 19.1%, p<0.05) and the number of red cell units used by transfusion (from 2.97+/-1.47 to 2.11+/-0.47, p<0.01). Markov modeling showed that the RHE strategy significantly increased the mean Hb level (13+/-0.5 g/dl versus 11.9+/-1g/dl, p<0.001), at the price of an increase in the main cost (respectively, US$ 1732+/-897 and 996+/-643; p<0.01). The cost-effectiveness ratio favored the RHE strategy (7.02 versus 9.04). Sensitivity analysis showed that the RHE strategy remained dominant in most situations.
answer:
Is routine once-weekly darbepoetin alfa administration cost-effective in lung cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia : a Markov analysis?

question:
Multicentric fibroadenomas, defined as multiple fibroadenomas located at different quadrants of the breast, occur in 10-20% of women with fibroadenoma. The surgical management of multicentric fibroadenomas may be troublesome for surgeons and patients. In this study, we report our preliminary experience using the "round block technique" in the management of women with multicentric fibroadenomas of the breast.', "Records of patients with breast diseases managed with the round block technique were searched for in the Changhua Christian Hospital oncoplastic breast surgery database. The patients' clinicopathologic characteristics, type of surgery, operation time, blood loss, and complications were recorded. The cosmetic outcome was evaluated by the patient and operating surgeon two months after the surgery.", 'Twenty patients with multicentric fibroadenomas managed by the round block technique comprised the current study cohort. The mean age of the subjects was 36.510.4 years. Twelve (60%) patients had tumors on one side of the breast, and eight (40%) had bilateral breast lesions. The average number of tumors removed was 3.31.2 (range 2-6) per breast, and mean tumor size was 2.20.5cm. Three (15%) patients developed mild ecchymosis of the breast undergoing operation, which resolved spontaneously. One (5%) patient had partial nipple ischemia/necrosis due to 2 tumors excised near the nipple-areolar complex. The aesthetic results were evaluated as good in 19 (95%) patients and fair in 1 (5%).
answer:
Is round block technique a useful oncoplastic procedure for multicentric fibroadenomas?
