Background: DNA repair is one of the crucial defense mechanism against mutagenic exposure. Inherited SNPs of DNA repair genes may contribute to variation in DNA repair capacity and susceptibility to cancer. Due to ...

Background: Radiation therapy plays an important role in lung carcinoma treatment. However, the incidenceof symptomatic radiation-induced lung injury is high. This study aimed to evaluate radioprotective effects ...

Background: The mucin components of the gastric gel layer function as a protective and lubricatingfactor against luminal acid and proteolytic enzymes. Alteration of mucin expression in gastric preneoplasticand ...

Chemoresistance to cancer therapy is a major obstacle to the effective treatment of human cancers withcisplatin (DDP), but the mechanisms of cisplatin-resistance are not clear. In this study, we established a cisplatinre ...

To explore a possible new treatment for human ovarian cancer, we studied the effects of sodium valproateon the growth of the HO8910 human cell line. HO8910 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with differentconcentrations ...

Background: Functional single nucleotide polymorphisms of x-ray repair cross-complementing protein1 (XRCC1) have been suspected to contribute to uterine cervical cancer risk for a long time; however, mostprevious ...

Background: Canine mammary gland tumors (CMGTs) are the most common tumor found in bitches. Changesin HER-2/neu genes in human breast cancer (HBC) lead to decrease in disease-free survival (DFS) and overallsurvival ...
