Paradoxical Association of Postoperative Plasma Sphingosine-1-Phosphate with Breast Cancer Aggressiveness and Chemotherapy by Rajesh Ramanathan, Ali Raza, Jamie Sturgill, Debra Lyon, Jessica Young, Nitai C. Hait, Kazuaki Takabe

“…Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid mediator that has been shown to serve an important regulatory function in breast cancer progression. This study analyzes plasma S1P levels in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant therapy as compared to healthy control volunteers. 452 plasma S1P samples among 158 breast cancer patients, along with 20 healthy control volunteers, were analyzed. …”

Case report: Diagnosis of impaired consciousness in a cancer patient using immune checkpoint inhibitors by Daniel Cathalifaud, Daniel Cathalifaud, Cristóbal Basáez, Tatiana Yáñez, Tatiana Yáñez

“…Symptomatic treatment with beta-blockers was initiated, leading to progressive improvement. This case brings awareness of impaired consciousness and neuropsychiatric symptoms as manifestation of IRAEs and the difficulty of their diagnosis: there may also be several other causes of impaired consciousness, so the characterization of delirium requires a multifaceted approach to determine the underlying cause, taking into account direct cancer-related complications and those stemming from the treatments received by this group of patients. …”

Experimental study on the collapse behavior of cavitation bubbles under low ambient pressure conditions by Tong Qu, Jing Luo, Weilin Xu, Jie Li, Guihua Fu, Yueqing Ma, Zhuoqi Zhao

“…Correspondingly, the proportion of shockwave energy relative to the bubble’s total mechanical energy also decreases progressively. Based on the behavior of bubbles under low ambient pressure conditions described above, it was found that as ambient pressure decreases, the maximum microjet velocity during cavitation bubble collapse in proximity to rigid walls gradually decreases at a constant bubble-wall distance. …”

Gamma-Tocotrienol Stimulates the Proliferation, Differentiation, and Mineralization in Osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 Cells by Weili Xu, Pan He, Shenghua He, Pengju Cui, Yaqing Mi, Yang Yang, Yang Li, Shaobo Zhou

“…Our results showed that γ-tocotrienol (2–8 μmol/L) significantly improved the cell proliferation (p<0.05), but it did not affect cell cycle progression. γ-Tocotrienol significantly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity (p<0.05), secretion levels of osteocalcin (OC) and osteonectin (ON), and mRNA levels of collagen type I (Col I) of MC3T3-E1 cells. …”
