The effects of clinically relevant concentrations of lidocaine on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and associated lung cancer behaviors have rarely been investigated. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of lidocaine on EMT and its related phenomena, including chemoresistance. Lung cancer cell lines (A549 and LLC.LG) were in...
The understanding of ergonomics is a vital competency for all peripheral nerve block operators. The essence of physical ergonomics for peripheral nerve block procedures can be summarised into three significant components: brain, musculoskeletal and needling. The first component includes strategies to optimise visuospatial neuroprocessing using equi...
Anoikis resistance has been observed in various types of cancers in which anchorage-independent growth is a crucial step for cancer metastasis. Therefore, agents interfering with this specific cancer cell behavior may be integrated into novel antimetastatic strategies. Monascin (MS), a secondary metabolite found in Monascus species, is a known pote...
Ko, Ching-Lung, Jui-An Lin, Kung-Yen Chen, An-Chih Hsu, Shu-Yu Wu, Yu-Ting Tai, Ko-Huan Lin, Wei-Chen Chung, and Min-Hui Li. Netrin-1 dampens hypobaric hypoxia-induced lung injury in mice. High Alt Med Biol. 00:000-000, 2019.
Background:
This study aimed to explore the effects of netrin-1 on hypobaric hypoxia-induced lung injury in mice.
Methods:...
Background:
Temozolomide (TMZ)-induced side effects and drug tolerance to human gliomas are still challenging issues now. Our previous studies showed that honokiol, a major bioactive constituent of Magnolia officinalis (Houpo), is safe for normal brain cells and can kill human glioma cells. This study was further aimed to evaluate the improved eff...
Purpose of Review
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional technique for analgesia of the anterolateral abdominal wall. This review highlights the nomenclature system and recent advances in TAP block techniques and proposes directions for future research.
Recent Findings
Ultrasound guidance is now considered the gold standard in TAP b...
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is
an uncommon cause of postoperative paraplegia or visual loss, and is associated with hypertension, eclampsia, immunosuppression, amongst others. Diagnosis of PRES can be confirmed with a classical brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of bilateral parieto-occipital lesions although le...
