Materials and methods: COVID-19 data was obtained from website of Kaggle, which comprised details of individuals suffered with COVID-19 in India. Further, spot snap of COVID-19 situation as on 2 nd July, 2020 was also taken to fill up the gap susceptibility. Moreover, analysis was carried out by univariate and bi-variate techniques in Microsoft Excel 2016 statistical software. Results: In India, first five cases diagnosed with COVID were Indian, had international travel history and next 16 were Italian. These 21 cases were diagnosed in above mention states by 4th March, 2020, and when lockdown was declared, cases reached in 24 Indian states. The worst state with highest number of active cases about 160 per 100,000 population was in Delhi with Case Fatality Rate (44.6 per 1000 Cured and Deaths). Ladakh was second worst in highest number of active cases (147 per 100,000 population) followed by Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Goa. Case Fatality Rate was highest in Maharashtra (79.6 per 1000 Cured and Deaths) followed by Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Delhi etc. Delhi and Tamil Nadu was in worst situation in controlling of COVID-19 than the other state. The best state was Meghalaya with active cases 0.3 with alarming Case Fatality Rate 22.3 followed by Jharkhand. Conclusion: Indian travelled from different countries and Indian government were responsible for spreading of COVID-19 throughout country. Delhi and Tamil Nadu was in worst situation in controlling of COVID-19 than the other state. The reason for wide variation in active cases of COVID-19 may be unrest in community due to labour movement. Hence, for COVID-19 containment, there is need necessary steps for providing better health facilities, awareness of positive and negative effect of COVID-19 and restricting the state-wise public movement until COVID-19 will not come under control.","PeriodicalId":15185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Prevention & Current Research","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85153331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diffuse large B cell subtype is the most common histological variety. The clinical presentation is non-specific; it can be similar to that found in breast carcinoma. The diagnosis is only retained after a definitive histological analysis. The management of these lymphomas is no different from that of other localizations. We report the case of primary breast diffuse large B cells lymphoma collected at the medical oncology department of the Hassan II Hospital of Fez in a 32-year-old patient. Through this work, we will discuss the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, histological, therapeutic, and prognostic characteristics of these tumors. Case presentation: A 32-year-old woman consulted for a left breast nodule evolving for 3 months. Clinical examination objectified a painless mass of the left breast without inflammatory signs and homolateral axillary adenopathy of 3cm. Mammography and breast ultrasound were performed objectifying three tissue lesions measuring 26mm for the largest in the left breast, associated with homolateral axillary adenopathy. A micro biopsy was performed. Histological analysis showed breast parenchyma largely dissociated by cell proliferation of diffuse architecture with large cells. In immunohistochemistry, tumor cells were positive for the anti-CD20 antibody. An extension assessment with thoracoabdominalcomputed tomographydid not show any secondary localization outside the breast lesions found in the mammography and ultrasound. Chemotherapy with R-CHOP was decided, but the patient refused to be treated for family reasons. Conclusion: Through this work, a case of DLBCL was reported with a review of the literature. In summary, the DLBCL histological subtype is the most frequent form of mammary lymphoma. Consolidation radiotherapy after conventional chemotherapy remains the most reasonable therapeutic modality for the treatment of patients with DLBCL. Large studies are necessary to identify the factors that influence survival, to improve the management of patients with these lymphomas.","PeriodicalId":15185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Prevention & Current Research","volume":"7 Suppl 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82646845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The predominance of sensory neurons in the innervation of the ileocecal region indicates that the ileocecal valve is a highly sensitive formation of the human intestine. According to LG Peretz [1975], 1ml of the small intestine contains up to 5000 microbes, and 1g of the contents of the large intestine contains about 30-40 billion. With the loss of the barrier function of the Bauhinia valve, colonization of the small intestine by foreign microbes from another habitat occurs with the development of dysbiosis1 and certain pathological consequences.2 The study of the content of enzymes in the feces of patients with reflux enteritis showed the presence of hyperfermentosis, i.e., an increased content of enterokinase, alkaline phosphatase, as well as bile acids, pancreatic enzymes, and stomach enzymes. This fecal hyperfermentosis is a consequence of incomplete deactivation of intestinal enzymes, deconjugation of primary bile acids. Fecal hyperfermentosis, as well as the presence of primary bile acids in the large intestine, especially in its left half, serves as a trigger for spastic colitis, especially left-sided.3 M. Brotman [348] found that about 95% of bile acids are normally absorbed in the ileum, which re-enter the liver, GG Nemsadze & EP Rybin4 found in a group of 192 patients with colon cancer a significant increase in the excretion of bile acids with the failure of the Bauhinia valve in comparison with its normal function. Indirect data on the possible role of NBZ in increasing the excretion of bile acids were obtained by analyzing the characteristics of the metabolism of bile acids in the enterohepatic cycle.5 Some authors suggest that, through the formation of carcinogenic substances from bile acids, bacteroids may contribute to an increased incidence of colon cancer.6 Other authors7 definitely believe that “the elimination of NBZ and the use of anti reflux anastomosis open up the possibility of surgical prevention of precancerous diseases and colonic cancer.","PeriodicalId":15185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Prevention & Current Research","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82881318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a rule, metastatic melanoma tumors with various localization have not complete recovery. Effective therapy of disseminated cutaneous melanoma remains an acute problem, in spite of the recent advances in immunotherapy and targeted molecular therapy. This paper describes a preliminary data obtained from the analysis of cytotoxicity and antitumor activity of some cationic peptides (CPs), in metastatic cutaneous melanoma cell lines generated from the biopsies and subcutaneous cutaneous melanoma xenografts in immunodeficient mice. Molecular mechanisms for CP selective cytotoxicity and specific antitumor effect are related with functional inhibition of chaperone proteins nucleolin and nucleophosmin followed by nucleolar stress. Objective: Evaluation of cytotoxicity and antitumor activities of some cationic peptides using in vitro and in vivo cell and mice xenograft models. Material and methods: Three cutaneus melanoma cell lines generated from metastatic lymph nodes were used for in vitro analysis of cytotoxicity of 4 cationic peptides by MTT assay. Antitumor activity of the peptides was studied in vivo using subcutaneous xenografts generated from MelCher melanoma cell line. Flow cytometry and molecular docking were used for analysis of molecular mechanisms of cell death induced by peptides under study. Results: The use of cationic peptides (CPs) with specific molecular structure for inducing selective tumor cell death, namely cutaneous melanoma, seems to solve a problem of melanoma resistance to standard treatment. Suchcationic dendritic peptides: have some advantages (1) low toxicity fornormal cells, (2) rapid penetration through cell membranes, (3) the interaction with specific surface and intracellular targets in tumor cells, including, cell surface nucleolin (NCL). This chaperone protein is highly expressed in solid tumors and trigger ligand internalization, including cationic peptides. Nucleolin and nucleophosmin (NPM) control the most important cell functions - DNA transcription, RNA translation, ribosome biogenesis, chromatin remodeling, cell signaling, differentiation, invasion, angiogenesis and carcinogenesis. However, NCL/NPM expression in normal tissues is significantly lower. Differential expression levels of NCL and NPM in tumor and normal cells allows to use these proteins as a targets for selective inhibition of tumor growth. Molecular mechanisms for CP selective cytotoxicity and specific antitumor effect are related with functional inhibition of NCL/NPM followed by nucleolar stress this idea was proven by in vivo experiments using melChermice subcutaneous xenografts. Conclusion: Tumor growth suppression up to 85% was induced by two tested cationic peptides (CPs) in MelCher xenografts.
