Response of Triple-negative Breast Cancer Liver Metastasis to Oral Recombinant Methioninase in a Patient-derived Orthotopic Xenograft (PDOX) Model
Conclusion: The TNBC liver metastasis was highly aggressive resulting in re-metastasis and ascites. o-rMETase tended to inhibit the liver metastasis and significantly improved the mouse body-condition score. This new PDOX model of TNBC liver metastasis will be useful for identifying effective agents for this recalcitrant disease. (Source: In Vivo)

Thyroid Dysfunction and Atherosclerosis: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Most studies have concluded that thyroid dysfunction is associated with arterial wall remodeling and, thus, with increased cardiovascular risk. However, the exact mechanistic background of pathological structural changes in the arterial wall is still unsettled. Large randomized controlled studies are required to definitively address the extent to which T4 replacement therapy might benefit patients with subclinical thyroid disorders. (Source: In Vivo)

Systemic Review and Meta-analysis of Impact of Splenectomy for Advanced Gastric Cancer
Background/Aim: Prophylactic splenectomy has shown no inferiority for tumors not invading the greater curvature side. Despite this, the clinical impact of prophylactic splenectomy for proximal advanced gastric cancer is not clear. This review aimed to clarify the impact of splenectomy for advanced gastric cancer in the upper third of the stomach. Materials and Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted based on PubMed and EMBASE databases. The following search terms were used: "gastric cancer" OR "splenectomy" OR upper third of the stomach" OR preservation of the spleen. Results: Out of 765 articles, 18 ...

Review of Innovative Physical Therapy Methods: Introduction to the Principles of Cold Physical Plasma
The principles of physics and precision engineering have allowed many technologies to enter standard treatment regimens for a range of diseases. Recently, a new type of technology has been accredited as safe and efficient routine procedure in dermatology in Europe: cold physical plasma. Several accredited devices successfully restrain the powerful energy of plasmas to make them available for therapeutic purposes. Herein, we introduce an introduction to the concept of cold physical plasmas and highlight some fields of their medical applications. (Source: In Vivo)
