    Brief Facts About Covid-19 (Sars-Cov-2)

    Sorush Niknamian

    Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can
    range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of the common cold, while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. The
    outbreak was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, declared to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, and
    recognized as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. Coronaviruses are the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, within the family of Coronaviridae, order Nidovirales, and
    realm Riboviria. They are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry. The genome size of
    coronaviruses is approximately from 26 to 32 kilobases. Coronaviruses were first discovered in the 1930s and Human coronaviruses were discovered in the
    1960s. The earliest ones studied were from human patients with the common cold, which were later named human coronavirus 229E and human coronavirus
    OC43. Other human coronaviruses have since been identified, including SARS-CoV in 2003, HCoV NL63 in 2004, HKU1 in 2005, MERS-CoV in 2012, and
    SARS-CoV-2 in 2019. Most of these have involved serious respiratory tract infections

    Breast cancer screening barriers from the womenâ??s perspective: A meta-synthesis

    Ahmad Moosavi

    Background: The principal aim of health service providers in the field of breast cancer is to detect and treat lesions at an appropriate time. Therefore, identification of barriers to screening can be very helpful. The present study aimed to systematically review the qualitative studies for extracting and reporting the barriers of screening for breast cancer from the women’s perspective. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review; Pubmed, Google Scholar, Ovid Scopus, Cochrane Library, Iranmedex, and SID were searched using the keywords: screening barriers, cancer, qualitative studies, breast and their Persian equivalents, and the needed data were extracted and analyzed using an extraction table. To assess the quality of the studies, the Critical Appraisal Skills Program me (CASP) tool was used. Results: From 2,134 related articles that were found, 21 articles were eventually included in the study. The most important barriers from the point of view of 1,084 women were lack of knowledge, access barriers (financial, geographical, cultural), fear (of results and pain), performance of service providers, women's beliefs, procrastination of screening, embarrassment, long wait for getting an appointment, language problems, and previous negative experiences. Articles' assessment score was 68.9. Conclusions: Increasing women's knowledge, reducing the costs of screening services, cultural promotion for screening, presenting less painful methods, changing beliefs of health service providers, provision of privacy for giving service, decreasing the waiting time, and providing high quality services in a respectful manner can be effective ways to increase breast cancer screening.

        What could be a “cancer patient”? A cancer patient is a patient with a cancer diagnosing United Nations agency is either expecting or on cancer-directed treatment, on symptomatic treatment, and/or receiving palliative care. Patients cured from their cancer are termed “cancer survivors”. It vital to grasp that the denomination “cancer patient” is kind of general and can cowl a patient throughout the complete flight of the sickness, together with modern adjuvant, curative, and adjuvant yet as completely different stages of treatment with palliative intent within the case of incurable sickness. Patients at time of diagnosing could also be within the cancer flight any place on its course, and move on it to cure or to palliation; so nutrition treatment ideas might have to be custom-made consequently.

            The Old and the New In Medical Cancer Therapy

            Daniel Gandia

            Medical cancer treatment has evolved in a geometric manner since Gilman´s Mechlorethamine introduction into the bedside. Chemotherapy was born and rapidly proved its worth in different tumors and different clinical settings. Initially, the bright results were seen in hematologic malignancies, namely complete remissions in some types of leukemias and lymphomas and posteriorly in solid tumors, it changed the natural disease history in osteosarcoma, becoming adjuvant methotrexate the new overall survival drug in this malignancy. Many pediatric and young adults’ tumors comported complete remissions with chemotherapy, rendering them as curable diseases. As this, testicular cancer became the first example of a curable cancer model within advanced solid tumors (Cisplatin was the gladiator here). Even when the first clinical trial became from the sixties, during the seventies Oncologists became interested in the after-surgery chemo in breast cancer. Two pivotal trials (the US and Europe), continue showing that even nearly 40 years after, the overall survival benefit of adjuvant chemo in this disease is impressive. As many as with chemo, hormonotherapy proved and continues to prove its worth in postmenopausal breast cancer women. Adding to the before, two milestones in chemo history are the role of chemo in larynx organ preservation and its positive role in the colorectal cancer adjuvant setting. Taking as a profit chemo radio sensitizer power, the role of concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy came up to age: Head neck, rectal cancer, anal cancer only to mention some tumor topographies amenable to this combined approach with organ preservation objectives.

            Mechanistic Studies on the Anti-Tumor Activities of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on the Human Neuroblastoma LA-N-1 Cells

            Leung KN

            Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid cancer among infants and children. The prognosis of patients with advanced stages of neuroblastoma with N-myc amplification remains poor despite intense multimodality therapy, and there is a pressing need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are naturallyoccurring long-chain fatty acids containing a carbon-carbon double bond at the omega C-3 position. Although previous studies have demonstrated the anti-proliferative effect of n-3 PUFAs on different cancer cell lines in vitro, the anti-tumor effects and underlying molecular action mechanisms of n-3 PUFAs, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), on human neuroblastoma cells remained poorly understood. In this study, both DHA and EPA were shown to suppress the proliferation of two human neuroblastoma LA-N-1 and SH-SY5Y cell lines in a concentration- and timedependent manner.

            Study of Epigenomic Changes (Noncoding -Tag. Oncogene) In Primary Cells of Cancer Patients than Biopsy Cells from Normal Tissue

            Saeed Soroush

            The epigenetic is a set of controlled reversible processes which causes inherited changes in the expression of genes Independent of the change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. Changes in heterochromatin to yochromatin and vice versa. In DNA Methylation, Histone Modifications are considered as epigenetic mechanisms which regulates target genes in the transcription machine and On the other hand, the interaction of non-coding RNAs like Micro RNAs With target gene has identified their roles in the growth of differentiation and cell death. Therefore, epigenetic factors directly or indirectly change the expression of Micro RNAs in the cell. Certainly failure in these mechanisms leads to activating or inhibiting different messaging pathways and causing diseases such as cancer. As you know, the differentiation and survival of cells occur due to constant gene control patterns that also cancer is created as a result of a change in expression of the activity of carcinogenic genes or tumor suppressor genes. The expression of genes at the DNA and chromatin levels is regulated through epigenetic mechanisms. Of these, some small molecules and drugs that interact with specific sequences of DNA can be modified locally and allow the transcriptional machine to reach the target genes and, ultimately, to change the heterochromatin to the cochromatin, can be mentioned.

            Potential of Recombinant Protein (ULLB-0005) in Different Cancer

            Sudeep Kumar

            Recombinant protein (ULLB-0005), is derived from a natural fungal protein, which has high binding specificity toward the carbohydrate antigen (Galβ1–3GalNAc- α-O-Ser/Thr). The natural Amino acid sequence has been modified to make more stable and soluble protein. Modified sequence has been cloned and express in E.coli. The protein was purified through different column chromatography and was characterized as a single protein. The present study evaluated the anticancer activity of Recombinant protein ULLB-0005 by determining in vitro cytotoxicity fingerprint, efficacy, mechanism and safety in human cell lines. Promising cytotoxicity was observed in 9 different cancer cell line, with a good safety profile in human PBMCs. The efficacy of the Molecule as antitumor agent was assessed in respective xenograft immuno-compromised mice models in vivo. As expected the molecule showed strong anticancer activity in immune-compromised mice model in various cancers which was observed in the reduction of tumor volume.

            Childhood Cancer - A Silent Killer of Children in Low and Middle-Income Countries

            Syed Azizur Rahman

            Childhood cancer is an emerging health challenge in many developing countries. Globally, an estimated 215,000 children of < 15 years and 85,000 adolescents of 15-19 develop cancer each year, and 80% of them live in developing countries. This population will exceed 90% in the next two decades due to an increasing size of the young population in favor of developing countries. Over 100,000 children die needlessly every year, most without any basic effective pain relief, undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, diagnosed too late or not treatment at all. If diagnosed at an early stage, and if treatment is available, most childhood cancers are highly curable. At least 50% of childhood cancer can be cured by simple treatments. The survival gap between rich and poor countries is widening. The reason is mainly due to the success of pediatric cancer therapy in developed countries. Diagnostic and treatment protocols and high adherence rates in these countries improve childhood cancer survival by 75-80%. However, in low and middle-income countries (LMIC), children are not benefitting from these improvements. Largely, because of abandonment rates are high and there are limited supportive care services to prevent treatment related morbidity or mortality.

            The Effect of Sex in the Storage Capacity of Red Blood Cell Concentrates in CPD/SAGM

            Vasileios L Tzounakas

            Statement of the Problem: Red blood cells (RBCs) are the most frequently transfused blood labile product. The “Donorvariation effect”, which refers to donor-todonor differences observed in both blood storage quality and 24h recovery, is probably a key factor in the efficiency of transfusion therapy. Donor variation effect may be associated with genetically determined features of RBCs and plasma. The aim of this study was to examine whether thedonor’s sex may independently affect the storage capacity of donated RBCs. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: For this purpose, 14 leukoreduced units of RBC concentrates in CPD/SAGM (7 male–7 female) were stored for 42 days at 4-6oC. Several parameters of storage quality (including hemolysis, redox status etc) were examined before and throughout the storage period. SPSS was used for statistical analysis of the results.

              Role of Post Mastectomy Radiotherapy in T1, T2 Lesions With 1-3 Positive Axillary Lymph Nodes Study Of 101 Cases

              Nikhil Garg

              Background: Post mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) reduces loco-regional recurrence (LRR) and improves overall survival.There is international consensus to recommend PMRT for patients with tumour size more than 5 cm, tumour invasion of the skin, pectoral muscle or chest wall and patients with > 4 positive lymph nodes. However, the role of PMRT for patients with T1 , T2 disease with 1â??3 positive LN is still controversial. The side effects of radiotherapy and its associated morbidity have to be considered in the risk benefit ratio, thus difficult to arrive at consensus in early breast cancer. Methods: 101 patients treated between 2012 to 2015 were studied retrospectively, The inclusion criteria for this analysis were:(1) Female patients with unilateral breast cancer and no distant metastasis at initial diagnosis who underwent mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection; (2) postoperative pathology indicated T1â??2 and 1â??3 positive axillary lymph nodes (T1â??2N1M0) disease, at least 10 lymph nodes removed by axillary dissection; (3) complete surgical resection of the tumor and negative margins; (4) complete estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epithelial growth factor receptor family 2 (Her2) status; (5) No neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered before surgery and endocrine therapy was performed based on the hormone receptor status. In order to study the research questions, we formulated hypotheses as follows,1. Radiotherapy does not have any impact on recurrence post mastectomy.2. There is no influence of Peri nodal extension on recurrence. The above hypotheses were tested using chi- square test. Results: Recurrences were obtained in 9 amongst radiotherapy and without radiotherapy in 16.When chi square was applied ,the value was highly significant. Hence our hypothesis was rejected. Also in case of PNE with recurrence and radiotherapy,8 had PNE with radiotherapy and recurrence and 27 had no recurrence, p value was 0.013% hence highly significant. Conclusions: Radiotherapy should be strongly considered in patients with 1-3 nodes post mastectomy as it decreases the chances of recurrence

              A Priori Activation of Apoptosis Pathways of Tumor (AAAPT) Technology Using Natural Tumor Sensitizers for Treatment Of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Patients

              Raghu Pandurangi

              Statement of the Problem: Cancer cells have inherent ability to circumvent intervention irrespective of the nature of intervention by desensitizing themselves through a) activating survival pathways (e.g. NF-kB, PARP) and downregulating cell death pathways (e.g. CD95, ASK1) simultaneously. The situation is worse for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients who have no option except non-specific chemotherapy, despite high off-target toxicity. No targeted therapy is approved for TNBC treatment since TNBC lack biomarkers (e.g. PR, ER and HER2 negative) for which drugs are designed. This puts TNBC patients on an enormous risk for survival. The purpose of this study is to make FDA approved drugs better using AAAPT technology.
