Atmospheric pressure plasma jets applied to cancerology: correlating electrical configurations with in vivo toxicity and therapeutic efficiency [PDF]
Two atmospheric pressure plasma jet devices - a plasma gun and a plasma Tesla jet - are compared in terms of safety and therapeutic efficiency to reduce the tumor volume progression of cholangiocarcinoma, i.e. a rare and very aggressive cancer emerging in biliary tree. For this, a three steps methodology is carried out.

Background Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), the adenocarcinoma of the biliary duct, is commonly reported in Asia, with the highest incidence in northeastern Thailand. Chemotherapy of CCA has been limited by the lack of effective chemotherapeutic drugs. A series

H3 histamine receptor-mediated activation of protein kinase calpha inhibits the growth of cholangiocarcinoma in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Histamine regulates functions via four receptors (HRH1, HRH2, HRH3, and HRH4). The D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))/Ca(2+)/protein kinase C (PKC)/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway regulates cholangiocarcinoma growth.

Dose of intra‐operative opioids has no impact on recurrence or survival in primary liver cancer
Kaplan‐meier curves for recurrence‐free and overall survial of high‐dose and low‐dose groups. No significant difference in recurrence‐free survial (A) or overall survial (B) after surgery was noted when comparing high‐dose with low‐dose groups. Abstract Background Intra‐operative use of opioid analgesics might have an impact on cancer recurrence and ...

Diagnosis of Cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a tumor of the bile duct epithelium, is increasing in incidence. CCA remains a highly fatal malignancy because early diagnosis is difficult. Based on its anatomical location, CCA can be categorized into the following three groups: perihilar, intrahepatic, and extrahepatic.

Locoregional Treatments in Cholangiocarcinoma and Combined Hepatocellular Cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a primary and aggressive cancer of the biliary tree. Combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) is a distinctive primary liver malignancy which has properties of both hepatocytic and cholangiocytic differentiation.

Mesenchymal stem cells: A novel treatment option for primary sclerosing cholangitis
Abstract Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive liver disease for which there is no effective therapy. Hepatocytes and cholangiocytes from a PSC patient were cocultured with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to assess in vitro change. A single patient with progressive PSC was treated with 150 million MSCs via direct injection into the common
