Abstract

Objective: To assess whether VEGF-C expression can predict the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and pelvic lymphnode metastases in bulky cevical cancer. Methods: Seventeen cervical cancer stage IB2 and IIA2 cases during the period of July 2009 until June 2010 were collected consecutively and given neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) PVB prior radical surgery. Response to treatment was evaluated based on the change of tumour size. VEGF-C expression was examined immunohistochemically at tumour biopsy before chemotherapy. The presence of lymphnode metastases histopathologically were obtained from pelvic lymphnode dissection. The difference and correlation of response and metastases on VEGF-C expression were analized statistically. The validity of the cut off percentage of immunopositive cells to VEGF-C to identify non responding and metastatic cases was calculated with the ROC. Multivariate analysis were done to determine the predictor of no response to chemotherapy. Results: Clinical response, using the RECIST version 1.1 criteria, was found in 41.18% cases and lymphnode metastases were found in 27.27% cases. VEGF-C was expressed in all cases. Statistically, there were no significant differences and correlation in response to treatment and pelvic lymphnode metastases on VEGF-C expression. At the cut off ≥ 76% immunopositivity to VEGF-C, the sensitivity to identify no response and the specificity to identify response to NAC are 70.00% and 71.43% respectively (LR+ 2.45 and LR- 0.42); whereas at the cut off ≥ 75% immunopositivity to VEGF-C, the sensitivity to identify lymphnode metastases and the specificity to identify no lymphnode metastases are 100.00% and 75.00% (LR+ 4.0 and LR- 0). With multivariate analysis using logistic regression, the cut off ≥ 76% immunopositive cells to VEGF-C were found to have positive coefficient, largest OR and statistic score, 1.93, 6.88 (96% CI OR 0.45; 104.34) and 41 respectively, to predict non responders in a prediction score model. Conclusion: VEGF-C expression on biopsy specimen bulky cervical cancers can not differentiate cases that respond to NAC and metastases to the pelvic lymphnode from that do not. The cut off ≥ 76% immunopositive cells to VEGF-C in a prediction model can be used as an alternative predictor to identify non responders.

Abstract

Being overweight or obese raises your risk of elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, and fatty liver. The liver is crucial to metabolic regulation. Essential to preserve liver health. Maintaining your diet, exercising, and eating antioxidants are all options. Many plants contain antioxidants, like Binahong (Anredera cordifolia). This study examines how Binahong leaf extract reduces cholesterol and improves liver function in high-fat-fed Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) and their liver histology. An actual experiment or laboratory experimental study is quantitative. 24 Wistar rats were sampled. Binahong leaf extract was the independent variable, cholesterol levels liver histological features were the dependent variable, and a high-fat diet was the precondition. The test animals were put into four groups: control, groups 2, 3, and 4 with Binahong leaf extract at 30mg/BW, 50mg/BW, and 70mg/BW. SPSS normality, homogeneity, and ANOVA tests. If p > 0.05, research results are generally distributed with 0.200 significance. Significant homogeneity was 0.176 > 0.05. Effective One-Way ANOVA test results (0.000 or <0.05). Post Hoc LSD test analysis yielded important values of 0.000.0001 and 0.024 < 0.05. The phytochemical test found flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, and tannins in Binahong leaf extract. Binahong leaf extract at 70 mg/BW reduced cholesterol, body weight, and LDL in hypercholesterolemic male white mice best. The study found that Binahong leaf extract's secondary metabolites—flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, and tannins—reduce cholesterol, LDL, and body weight in Wistar strain white rats (Rattus Norvegicus) with hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract

A chronic ailment that is caused by excessive food consumption and a lack of physical activity, obesity is a condition that may be prevented. The tropical dragon fruit can control cholesterol levels, support the immune system, and give a natural colorant for culinary applications. In a true experimental research, sample with rats were fed red and white dragon fruit extracts to determine the amounts of cholesterol in their bodies. Spectrophotometry was used to determine the rats' blood lipid profiles, cholesterol levels, and body weight after they were fed a meal that was high in fat and contained duck egg yolk. For this study, extracts from red and white dragon fruits were administered to male Wistar rats to determine their effects on cholesterol levels. After fourteen days, both groups had a reduction in high cholesterol levels, with group 4 exhibiting the most significant drop in cholesterol levels. Additionally, the extracts decreased the levels of MDA while simultaneously increasing the levels of SOD. The most significant rise was seen in group 4, given white dragon fruit extract at 140 mg/200 gr BW daily. SPSS was utilized to analyze the effects of dragon fruit on blood cholesterol levels in experimental animals, employing the LSD technique and one-way ANOVA.
