Ocul Oncol Pathol 2020 Dec 4;6(6):442-455. Epub 2020 Nov 4.

Henry C. Witelson Ocular Pathology Laboratory, McGill University, Montreal, Québec, Canada.

Introduction: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has been investigated for a potential anticancer role in several cancers, such as colorectal, ovarian, and endometrial cancer. Moreover, ASA has been shown to abrogate various processes that contribute to tumor growth and progression.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ASA on cutaneous melanoma (CM) and uveal melanoma (UM).

Methods: Human CM and UM cells were treated with 5 mM ASA and assessed for changes in cellular functions. Antiangiogenic effects of ASA were determined using an ELISA-based assay for 10 proangiogenic cytokines, and then validated by Western blot. Finally, proteomic analysis of ASA-treated cells was performed to elucidate the changes that may be responsible for ASA-mediated effects in melanoma cells.

Results: Treatment with ASA significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration capabilities, and caused a significant decrease in angiogenin and PIGF secretion in both CM and UM. Mass spectrometry revealed 179 protein changes associated with ASA in the CM and UM cell lines.

Conclusions: These results suggest that ASA may be effective as an adjuvant therapy in metastatic CM and UM. Future studies are needed to determine the regulating targets that are responsible for the antitumor effects of ASA.

Silicon Alleviate Hypoxia Stress by Improving Enzymatic and Non-enzymatic Antioxidants and Regulating Nutrient Uptake in Muscadine Grape ( Michx.).

Authors:
Zafar Iqbal Ali Sarkhosh Rashad Mukhtar Balal Celina Gómez Muhammad Zubair Noshin Ilyas Naeem Khan Muhammad Adnan Shahid

Front Plant Sci 2020 10;11:618873. Epub 2021 Feb 10.

Department of Agriculture, Nutrition and Food Systems, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, United States.

Flooding induces low oxygen (hypoxia) stress to plants, and this scenario is mounting due to hurricanes followed by heavy rains, especially in subtropical regions. Hypoxia stress results in the reduction of green pigments, gas exchange (stomatal conductance and internal CO concentration), and photosynthetic activity in the plant leaves. In addition, hypoxia stress causes oxidative damage by accelerating lipid peroxidation due to the hyperproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in leaf and root tissues. Read More

Anne Garland Erik Bülow Erik Lenguerrand Ashley Blom Mark Wilkinson Adrian Sayers Ola Rolfson Nils P Hailer

Bone Joint J 2021 Mar;103-B(3):469-478

Department of Surgical Sciences/Orthopaedics, Institute of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden.

Aims: To develop and externally validate a parsimonious statistical prediction model of 90-day mortality after elective total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to provide a web calculator for clinical usage.

Methods: We included 53,099 patients with cemented THA due to osteoarthritis from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Registry for model derivation and internal validation, as well as 125,428 patients from England and Wales recorded in the National Joint Register for England, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the States of Guernsey (NJR) for external model validation. A model was developed using a bootstrap ranking procedure with a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model combined with piecewise linear regression.

Administration of -acetylcysteine Plus Acetylsalicylic Acid Markedly Inhibits Nicotine Reinstatement Following Chronic Oral Nicotine Intake in Female Rats.

Authors:
María Elena Quintanilla Paola Morales Fernando Ezquer Marcelo Ezquer Mario Herrera-Marschitz Yedy Israel

Front Behav Neurosci 2020 3;14:617418. Epub 2021 Feb 3.

Molecular and Clinical Pharmacology Program, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Chile, Santiago, Chile.

Background: Nicotine is the major addictive component of cigarette smoke and the prime culprit of the failure to quit smoking. Common elements perpetuating the use of addictive drugs are (i) cues associated with the setting in which drug was used and (ii) relapse/reinstatement mediated by an increased glutamatergic tone (iii) associated with drug-induced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress.

Aims: The present study assessed the effect of the coadministration of the antioxidant -acetylcysteine (NAC) plus the anti-inflammatory acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on oral nicotine reinstatement intake following a post-deprivation re-access in female rats that had chronically and voluntarily consumed a nicotine solution orally.
