Estudo da encapsulação de fármacos antineoplásicos em sistemas nanoestruturados: Caracterização estrutural e efeito sinérgico de fármacos

Dentro da área da nanotecnologia, o sistema drug delivery vem sendo amplamente utilizado, cujo objetivo é proporcionar uma maior eficácia dos ativos farmacêuticos, podendo envolver desde uma distribuição mais seletiva dentro do organismo até a taxa que as moléculas serão liberadas e/ou a atenuaÃ...

Oncological outcomes in non-seminomatous testicular tumors and residual mass after cisplatin-based chemotherapy

Objective: The aim of our study is to describe the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with clinical stage (CS) II and III NSGCT with an RM after primary or secondary CT with negative serum markers (NSM). A residual mass (RM) in non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) after chemotherapy (CT) is...

In vivo Gonadoprotective Effects of Myricetin on Cisplatin- Induced Testicular Damage via Suppression of TLR4/NF-kB Inflammation Pathway and Heat-Shock Response

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The aim of this study is to reveal the gonadoprotective effects of myricetin (MYC), which has many biological properties, on cisplatin (CP)-induced testicular damage in rats. For this purpose, 40 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups as Control (group given no treatment), MYC (group...

The Effects of White Tea (Camellia Sinensis) and Infliximab Against Cisplatin- Induced Testicular Damage via Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: Cisplatin (Cis) is an important chemotherapeutic agent used in cancer treatment. Males exposed to Cis were reported to exhibit testicular toxicity. Cis-induced testicular toxicity is mediated by oxidative stress, inflammation, testosterone inhibition and apoptosis. Accordingly, this study was co...

Immunohistochemical evidence of melatonin protection on lung tissue during chemotherapy

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: The present study investigated the possible protective effects of melatonin on Bleomycin, Cisplatin and etoposide (BEP) chemotherapy regimens using immunohistochemistry. Forty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups of ten as; group 1 as untreated control; group 2 as BEP group which recei...

BALB/c and C57BL/6 mouse strains influence gastric function outcomes with administration of cisplatin and dexamethasone

Abstract Our aim was to evaluate the effects of cisplatin and dexamethasone alone and combined on gastric contractility and histomorphometry of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. BALB/c and C57BL/6 male mice (8-week-old) were randomly separated into: Control; Cisplatin (7.5 mg/Kg); Dexamethasone (2.0 mg/Kg); and D...

Cisplatin-induced azoospermia and testicular damage ameliorated by adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: The testes are highly susceptible to the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiation at all stages of life. Exposure to these threats mainly occurs during cancer treatment and as an occupational hazard in radiation centers. The present study investigated the regenerative ability of adipose-...

Low-dose cisplatin exposure and SNAIL, Vimentin, E-cadherin expression in HEPG2 cell line

Cisplatin, the first platinum compound approved for cancer treatment, is widely used in the treatment of various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC incidence rates rise globally. Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is implicated in cancer invasion and metastasis, which are associat...

Protective effects of melatonin in cisplatin-induced cardiac toxicity: possible role of BDNF-TNF-α signaling pathway

Acta cir. bras; 37 (2), 2022
Purpose: The present study explored the role of melatonin in cisplatin-induced cardiac injury along with the possible role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in melatonin-mediated effects. Methods: Wistar rats were administered cisplatin (10 mg/kg), and cardiac injury was assessed by measuring ...

Effect of kefir on increased apoptosis in liver and kidney in cisplatin toxicity

Int. j. morphol; 40 (2), 2022
SUMMARY: Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent inducing liver and kidney damage. In this study, we intended to investigate the impact of kefir beverage, an essential probiotic and functional food, on liver and kidney damage induced by cisplatin. Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: Control, ...
