In this experiment, we examined whether there are cells that are not led to apoptosis in different subtypes of breast cancer with poor prognosis with BRCA1 mutation and wild type BRCA cells. Cells with BRCA1 wild-type ( MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 ) or mutated ( MDA-MB-436 ) BRCA1 were exposed to anticancer drugs, and the levels of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) produced by oxidative stress and Annexin V ( an index of apoptosis ) were examined. The wild-type MDA-MB-231 cells showed increased ROS levels and Annexin V after exposure to eribulin and paclitaxel. Hence, the pathway leading to apoptosis may be activated by oxidative stress. ROS levels in BT-549 cells were significantly increased after exposure to eribulin and paclitaxel. However, there was no change in Annexin V. BRCA1-mutated MDA-MB-436 cells showed significantly increased ROS levels after exposure to eribulin and paclitaxel and no change in the Annexin V levels. This suggests that BRCA1 wild-type BT-549 cells and BRCA1-muted MDA-MB-436 cells were resistant to ROS-mediated apoptosis. These results indicate that BRCA1 mutation and cell subtypes should be investigated prior to selecting the chemotherapy combination to enable appropriate selection in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":23019,"journal":{"name":"The Showa University Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84664150","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}

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein ( OxLDL ) was previously found to be related to oxidative stress, measured using the diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites ( d-ROMs ) test and showed a negative correlation between biological antioxidant potential ( BAP ) test results and triglycerides ( TG ) . In addition, large gender differences exist among vascular disorders caused by arteriosclerosis. However, such gender differences and their correlation with oxidative stress and blood lipids have not been clarified. In this study, gender differences in correlations between oxidative stress and blood lipids as factors in the development of atherosclerosis was addressed. Subjects were 149 individuals who underwent medical examinations conducted in Ashikaga Teishin Clinic in Tochigi, Japan ( 98 males and 51 females ) . A strong positive correlation was observed between d-ROMs test results and OxLDL in men ( R = 0.480, P < 0.0001 ) , but no correlation was seen in women. A strong negative correlation between BAP test results and TG was also noted in men ( R =­ 0.571, P < 0.0001 ) , and a moderate negative correlation was detected in women ( R =­ 0.344, P = 0.0133 ) . A positive correlation between d-ROMs tests and OxLDL was seen in women under 50 years of age ( R = 0.399, P = 0.0393 ) , but this correlation was not present in women who were 50 years of age or older ( R =­ 0.00656, P = 0.976 ) . Correlations between oxidative stress and OxLDL and between antioxidant potential and TG in men were more prominent than in women. This finding suggests that decreasing oxidative stress in the blood to prevent atherosclerosis is more important for men.","PeriodicalId":23019,"journal":{"name":"The Showa University Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91280362","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}

This study was carried out to determine whether a modified HIFU transducer enabling split-aperture irradiation can prevent thermal burns. Two HIFU transducers were compared: a conventional transducer using full-aperture irradiation and a modified transducer using split-aperture irradiation. The modified transducer was divided into six sectors for split-aperture irradiation and had a larger surface area and a smaller F number ( focal length / aperture diameter ) than the conventional transducer. HIFU was delivered to eight sites on the left and right leg of a three-month-old baby pig under general anesthesia, and the sites were assessed for thermal burning by two or more derma-tologists. The same person performed all irradiations. Full-aperture irradiation with the conventional transducer caused deep dermal burns at all target sites, while split-aperture irradiation with the modified transducer caused only epidermal burns or superficial dermal burns. Split-aperture irradiation using a modified HIFU transducer with six sectors and a smaller F number reduces the severity of skin burns, and thus will improve the safety of HIFU therapy.","PeriodicalId":23019,"journal":{"name":"The Showa University Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81004458","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}
