In addition, the cytotoxicity of the NPs was assessed, along with their ability to release the entrapped drugs over time. Results: The results showed that the PBCA nanoparticles had a mean size of 457 ± 7.4 nm, a size distribution of 0.253±0.011 and a negative zeta potential of -12.3 ± 1.3 mV. The drug encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of cisplatin-PBCA were found to be 45.6 ± 2.7% and 3.5 ±0.8%, respectively; The release of the drug from the PBCA was estimated to be approximately 12.2±1.1% after 45 hours. The cytotoxic effects of the nanoparticle formulation were significantly enhanced compared to the free drug. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin-PBCA was evaluated in the T-47D breast cancer cell line, showing promising results as a potential drug formulation for breast cancer therapy. Conclusions: These findings suggest that cisplatin-PBCA may offer advantages over traditional cisplatin formulations, potentially improving the efficacy and reducing the toxicity of breast cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":8848,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Biology","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139287780","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}

One of the most common diseases affecting many people today is cancer, and skin cancer is one of the most common cancers known to man. As one of the deadliest cancers, skin cancer requires special attention. Skin cancer is caused by genetic defects or mutations caused by unreduced deoxyribonucleic acid in skin cells. One of the most dangerous types of skin cancer is melanoma, which has a high survival rate if detected early. Accordingly, early detection of melanoma is very important. To this end, this paper presents a computer-aided method that uses image processing tools to detect skin cancer, especially melanoma. This system takes an image of a skin lesion and uses new image processing techniques to determine the presence of skin cancer. The lesion image analysis tool evaluates various features of melanoma, including asymmetry, contour, color, diameter (ABCD), and more. Then these extracted parameters are used to classify the images as benign or malignant lesions. This article describes methods and approaches for automatic skin cancer detection. This article provides researchers with useful information about the methods, databases, and procedures required for early detection of skin cancer.","PeriodicalId":8848,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Biology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139312263","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}

In this preliminary prospective study, we have assessed the feasibility of detecting cancer of the prostate using a voided urine sample and targeting the genomic VPAC receptors in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and a serum PSA ranging between 2.6 to 10 ng/mL. Materials & Methods: Patients ≥40 years old, with lower urinary tract symptoms and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ranging between 2.6 - 10 ng/mL formed the study group. The voided urine sample was collected from all these patients for biomarker testing. All patients underwent a standard 12-core prostate biopsy. The results of the histopathological studies were then compared to the results of the urine biomarker. Results: A total of 76 male subjects presented to our hospital with lower urinary tract symptoms and a serum PSA ≥ 2.6 and ≤ 10 ng/mL. The voided urine sample was positive for malignant cells in 24/25 (96%) patients with PCa. There was one case of a false negative in this group. Histopathological examination of the core biopsy specimens was positive for malignancy in 23 (92%) cases of PCa. Conclusions: Voided urine samples can be used to diagnose PCa by targeting the VPAC receptors that are expressed on malignant cells. This test is highly sensitive and serum PSA levels or Gleason’s score have no impact on the sensitivity of this test.","PeriodicalId":8848,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Biology","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139312112","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}

Different concentrations of exposure may result in different degrees of severity in histopathology. Method: Twenty male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups. Inhalation of 10% formaldehyde exposure in 6 hours per day over 16 weeks was done. Nasopharyngeal and lung tissues were taken with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining to see histopathology structural changes and degree of severity. Bivariate analysis was conducted to find the correlation coefficient. Results: This experimental study found that severe dysplasia is correlated with long exposure. A strong correlation is found between concentrations and dysplasia (r=0.682), and a moderate correlation between duration of exposure and dysplasia (r=0.488).Discussion: Dysplasia of nasopharyngeal and lung tissue are in line with exposure of formaldehyde in rats. Formaldehyde exposure with 10 ppm and 15 ppm may lead to structural cell changes such as vacuolar degeneration, cell necrosis, epithelial exfoliation, and erosion in nasal passage. Also, longer exposure increases the severity of dysplasia. Squamous metaplasia was found in 20 ppm of formaldehyde over 2 weeks of exposure, in the epithelial respiratory system. Conclusion: The severity of dysplasia in rats is in line with the duration and concentrations of formaldehyde exposure. Long exposure will increase the severity of dysplasia and, similarly, high concentration of formaldehyde exposure increases the severity of dysplasia.","PeriodicalId":8848,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Biology","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139315810","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}

HPV infection plays a major role in genesis of cervical lesions. Although most HPV infections are cleared out, infections with high risk HPVs may persist resulting in cervical dysplastic lesions. Using p16, a surrogate marker for HPV infection and Ki-67, a proliferation marker, along with histopathology, help improve the diagnostic accuracy of these lesions. The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of p16 and Ki-67 in cervical lesions and association of their staining intensity with the histologic grading. Also to determine the predictive value of these markers in association with the cervical lesions. Methodology: A cross sectional study was carried out in 122 cases which were diagnosed histopathologically and then evaluated for the immunohistochemical expression of p16 and Ki-67 and their staining intensities. Results: The dysplastic lesions comprised of 83.7% cases [29.5% LSIL, 5.7% HSIL, 43.5% SCC and 4.9% adenocarcinoma] and 16.3% had non dysplastic lesions. p16 and Ki-67 expression were seen in 64.7% and 68% cases respectively. The intensity of p16 and Ki-67 expression was scored according to Galgano et al (2010). An increasing intensity of p16 and Ki-67 expression with higher grades of the cervical lesions was noted and this association was found to be statistically significant. (χ2 = 43.46 and p value < 0.0001). Conclusion: Though histopathology is the gold standard, the role of p16 and Ki-67 have emerged as useful adjuncts in detecting the true nature of the cervical lesions. They aid in the proper diagnosis, classification and distinction from non-dysplastic lesions, helping the clinicians in taking prompt action for management of the cases.","PeriodicalId":8848,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Biology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139322014","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}
