Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is well known that it cannot be treated with traditional chemotherapy or radiotherapy. 16-Hydroxycleroda-3,13-dien-15,16-olide (CD), isolated from Polyalthia longifolia Benth. & Hook. f. var. pendula had been reported to display...
Lymphoma
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Lymphoma.
The Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in the Treatment of Non-healing Ulcers Secondary to Graft-versus-host Disease.
Abstract: We present the case of a 69 year-old gentleman with non-healing ulcers of the bilateral medial malleoli as a result of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). The patient discussed was diagnosed with stage IV mantle cell lymphoma. Over the course of 4 years the...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning inhibits skin flap apoptosis in a rat ischemia-reperfusion model.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) improves skin flap function and inhibits partial necrosis induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Our study aimed to evaluate the mechanism underlying HBO regulation of the antiapoptosis factors associated with I/R injury of...
Central retinal artery occlusion after phacoemulsification.
Abstract: To report 2 cases of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) that occurred within 24 hours of routine phacoemulsification cataract surgery using peribulbar anesthesia. Case 1: An otherwise well 76-year-old woman with right pseudoexfoliation syndrome and...
Primary Cutaneous γδ T-Cell Lymphoma and Hemophagocytic Syndrome.
Abstract: Primary cutaneous γδ T-cell lymphoma and hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is a very rare disease process with only 41 cases of this type of lymphoma published to date. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who developed high-grade fevers and multiple...
Sequential therapy with belimumab followed by rituximab in Sjögren’s syndrome associated with B-cell lymphoproliferation and overexpression of BAFF: evidence for long-term efficacy.
Abstract: The overexpression of B-cell activating factor (BAFF) in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) may decrease the efficacy of rituximab treatment in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Anti-CD20 therapy was effective on marginal zone B cells, in the murine model for...
The therapeutic role of interleukin-10 after spinal cord injury.
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition affecting 270,000 people in the United States. A potential treatment for decreasing the secondary inflammation, excitotoxic damage, and neuronal apoptosis associated with SCI, is the anti-inflammatory...
SirT1 mediates hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning-induced ischemic tolerance in rat brain.
Abstract: Our previous studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) induces tolerance to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). This study aimed to investigate whether SirT1, a class III histone deacetylase, is involved in neuroprotection elicited...
Safe administration of hyperbaric oxygen after bleomycin: a case series of 15 patients.
Abstract: Supplemental oxygen has been reported to cause pulmonary complications after bleomycin. We describe the safe administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) after bleomycin in 15 patients. Paper and electronic records were reviewed for bleomycin-exposed patients...
