Abstract:

Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant cells form in the tissues of the breast. The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, which begins in the cells of the ducts. Cancer that begins in the lobes or lobules is called lobular carcinoma and is more often found in both breasts than are other types of breast cancer. Tamoxifen is a type of estrogen- suppressant, in several cases patients treated by Tamoxifen increased the risk rate for breast cancer, therefore, we hope to reduce the complications of endometrial cancer while treating breast cancer.

  In the early experiment we used High throughout screening technology select compounds from the drug library and sensitive to gene signature which related to T cell associated genes CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11. We discover that MDA-MB-231 human triple negative breast cancer cell treated by RSC001 can induce chemokines also affect expression of STAT genes, classic pathway JAK-STAT will affect chemokines expression, chemokines CXCL10 and CXCL11 will recruit CD8+ T cell for attacking tumor cell. Therefore, though the interconnections between the pathway and chemokines, we need to explore more about RSC001 target point in TNBC cell also the relationship with STAT pathways.

Abstract:

Introduction & Aim: Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women and also the most common cause of cancer related death in women worldwide, including Latvia. During the period from 2009 until 2016, the mortality rates in Latvia have increased from 20,7 to 23,3 per 100,000 inhabitants. Metastatic axillary lymph nodes are one of the important factors predicting prognosis of breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the N ratio on patient survival.

Method: The study included 100 patients that had underwent mastectomy or breast conserving surgery with lymphadenectomy in the Oncology Centre of Latvia, from January-2010 until December-2011 with a diagnosis of breast cancer with positive axillary lymph nodes.  Patients were divided into two groups according to the N ratio: N ratio 0,2 or ≥0,2.

Results: Comparing the five years overall survival a statistically significant difference between groups was found (p=0,033). In the group where the N ratio was <0,2, 5-year overall survival rate was 85%, as opposed to 64% in the group where the N ratio was ≥0,2. When comparing the 5-year relapse free period, a statistically significant difference between the two groups was also found (p=0,039), showing a relapse-free 5-year period in 83% of the patients in the group with N ratio <0,2 and 64% of the patients with N ratio ≥0,2.

Conclusion: Patients with lower N ratio have a greater overall survival and relapse free period compared to patients with higher N ratio. Therefore, N ratio is a significant factor influencing the survival prognosis of breast cancer patients

Biography:

I am a wife, mother of 3 young adult sons and now ex-Headteacher. Retiring from my post as a result of my secondary diagnosis 2 and a half years ago. My future is uncertain and many family landmarks I had hoped to experience are a faint, unlikely hope rather than probability.

Abstract:

I was first diagnosed with this disease when I was 37 and had hoped that as the 10 year landmark came and went that I was not going to revisit this disease. I was wrong, at the age of 51 I suffered excruciating pain to my spine and was told that my cancer had returned and was now incurable. Previous visits to my GP with my deteriorating back condition had not considered a recurrence of my disease instead the GP thought I was suffering from acute muscle spasms!

I have lived with cancer as a young woman and mother. My initial diagnosis was delayed by 6 months as my female GP considered me to be too young and despite my mother’s diagnosis, she felt I was unlikely to fall victim of this disease. Only pressurising the system resulted in my eventual mammogram and diagnosis. I pursued a clinical negligence claim 3 years after my diagnosis and won.

Arriving home to three very young children (3, 6 and 8) was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Terrified myself, but unable to show this emotion to my children. How do you tell your children what is happening to their mummy? How do you reassure them when you don’t feel reassured yourself? Financially? How do you cope when you are off work for such a long time?

The fear of recurrence influenced many decisions I made as a parent. Perpetually scared that I would not be there for them; I was always considering the life skills that I was imparting to them trying to prepare them for life without me without them being aware.

Personally, as a woman, an early surgical menopause and all that it brings tested my relationship with my husband. My self-image has never been good since diagnosis.

My secondary diagnosis was given to me and I was sent home with pain killers and an appointment to see an oncologist. No other support. I was broken. It turned my life upside down and I have spent the past 3 and a half years trying to adjust to the huge uncertainties that the diagnosis presents me with.

I do now advocate on behalf of patients, I have appeared on BBC World News and have been in dialogue with key stakeholders in this world. Access to drugs and trials being key issues that I feel very passionate about.

I would feel very honoured to speak at the summit. I have a wealth of experience as a patient as a young woman, mother, wife and also as a middle- aged woman with secondary breast cancer. who has had to give up her career and life as it was to live with this disease.

Abstract:

Breast cancers classified as below types:

1. Non-Invasive

A: (DCIS): Ductal Carcinoma B: (LCIS): Lobular Carcinoma

2. Infiltrating

In this article I decided to describe Non-Invasive types of Breast cancer and to compare clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics of two types of Non-Invasive Breast cancers.

Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS):

Palpable mass is not common in early presentation of this type of tumor in physical examination and radiography, but in late diagnosis, we can find mass and discharge.

This type, specially, when is well differentiated shows Estrogen receptors and the prognosis of Ductal carcinoma in situ is very good. We can find calcifications in radiography of this type of Breast cancer.

Lobular Cell Carcinoma (LCIS):

Pathology shows mono morph cells with Homogenous pattern. We can see mucinous Intracellular vacuoles. (Signet Ring Cells)

Calcifications is rare in radiography, we should know that this type of Breast cancer does not change lobular pattern of Breast.

In lobular cell carcinoma mass is not seen.

We dedicate breast cancers clinical and radiological concepts in detail at oral presentation time.

Abstract:

The interactions between Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) as industrial biopolymers and chitosan, cellulose, starch as natural biopolymers with iodine mixed by diethyl ether for homogenous solid mixture show a clear depression in the glass Transition Temperature (Tg) for all polymers as well as new colors appear except cellulose unaffected. It appears that cellulose molecules coated with a film prevent iodine to diffuse through the network structure of cellulose thus no effected its color or its Tg which indicates that molecular structure of cellulose quite different from that of starch and for this fact cellulose not soluble by a solvent and undigested in the human body. The depression in the Tg values of polymers indicate that iodine ruptures the engineering bonds of the polymers. The most effected Tg is of chitosan (lowered by 40.23ËšC, this mean that iodine ruptures both hydrogen bonding through nitrogen and oxygen atoms in chitosan molecule. From Tg values it seems that iodine can acts as moderate plasticizer, by diffusing through the net of biopolymers and natural biopolymers ruptures their secondary bonds result in depression of their Tg except in case of cellulose. The order of Tg depressionchitosan>PMMA=starch>PVA>PEG>cellulose. From Tg values calculation of the energy given by the addition of iodine to the polymers was done. These energies are a function of iodine cause a depression in the original Tg of pure biopolymers 27.394>18.442=18.414>9.316>4.315>0 (kJ mol-1).

Abstract:

Endosulfan sulfate (6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9 methano-2,3,4-benzodioxathiepin-3,3-dioxide) is a major oxidized metabolite of endosulfan which is a broad-spectrum chlorinated cyclodiene insecticide. In this study, we used a GC-MS/MS based targeted metabolomic approach using MRM of metabolite to elucidate the toxicological effects of endosulfan sulfate in adult zebrafish. Zebrafish were exposed to endosulfan sulfate at concentrations of 1/10 LC50 and LC50 for 24 and 48 hours. After exposure, the fish was homogenized with liquid N2, extracted with 50% MeOH solution and dried before TMS derivatization (MSTFA+1% TMCS). On GC-MS/MS (Shimadzu TQ8040) MRM library of 381 metabolites were used for screening to detect overall 170 metabolites in zebrafish whole body. The PLS-DA score plot (SIMCA-P+) showed a good separation between the three experimental groups (control, 1/10 LC50, LC50) of 48 hours samples. Based on the VIP and ANOVA results, 60 metabolites were identified for contributing significantly to the differences in the metabolic profile. Metabolic pathway analysis using MetaboAnalyst 4.0 revealed that those identified metabolites were important for the organism response to endosulfan sulfate. Several pathways were reported by metabolic pathway analysis included aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, valine/leucine/isoleucine biosynthesis, alanine/aspartate/glutamate metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, arginine/proline metabolism, citrate cycle (TCA cycle), glycine/serine/threonine metabolism, glyoxylate/dicarboxylate metabolism and pentose phosphate pathway. These results suggest that these pathways underwent significant perturbations over the exposure period. This study highlights the application of GC-MS/MS (MRM mode) based targeted metabolomics to understand molecularlevel toxicity of persistent organochlorine pesticides and the results will contributed to the environmental risk assessment of endosulfan sulfate in zebrafish.

Abstract:

Hydroponics consists of production of plants through the supply of required nutrients for their growth and development in the appropriate proportions and under controlled conditions, allowing the nutrients variation directly related to the production and metabolic composition. Recently metabolomics is used for the analysis of quality and searching of useful compounds in food and pharmaceutical industry. Medicinal plants are also known as functional foods due to its high content in secondary metabolites with important medicinal properties can be considered in the treatment of diseases. These compounds include the flavonoids and the isothiocyanates, the latter are synthesized as product of glucosinolates hydrolysis. Peppermint is an aromatic plant with high benefit due to its phytochemical content, so studying its metabolic production in hydroponic systems comprises great interest and applicability. The main objective was therefore to analyze the variation of volatile compound profiles (obtained from supercritical fluid extraction) for mint leaves in hydroponics growing. This research was conducted to design and construct six hydroponic system, they were divided into three systems with standard nutrient solution and other three with nutrient solution+foliar salicylic acid (2 mM). As results, particular changes were found in the profiles of mint-derived volatile metabolites. These changes were mediated by the selective occurrence and/or content of some monoterpenes such as L-menthone, pulegone and terpenes such as menthol. The profiling of volatile metabolites could be an excellent tool to evaluate the mint quality in hydroponics growing. This work was supported by Vicerrectoría de Investigaciones at UMNG Project INV-CIAS-2542.

Biography:

Michele khoo has founder of COVERS, a paramedical micro-pigmentation service provider. COVERS are base in Singapore and is located at the Novena Medical Center. His profession involves using non-surgical medical tattooing to restore areolar and nipples after breast surgery. He hold an Australian certificate in paramedical micro-pigmentation and he has also certified in infection and disease control. In addition, he hold a certificate for semi-permanent cosmetics from Korea. He has been interviewed and published by reputable local newspaper, 5th May, 2019.

Abstract:

According to American Society of Plastic Surgery, over 106,000 breast reconstruction were performed in 2018. After Mastectomy, “body image altered is the most common psychosocial concern associated with breast cancer, (Mohammad, Khan, and Vanaki, 2018). However, very few people understand the effectiveness of a nipple-tattooing until they get one. Studies have shown that the nipple-areola complex has a high correlation with overall patient satisfaction and acceptance of body image, (Evans, Rasako and Lenert, 2005). Therefore, construction or recreation of a nipple –areola complex that matches the former state in terms of shape, size, and color enhances the effectiveness of the procedure in boosting the self-image of the mastectomy patient. 3D Areolar-nipple micro-pigmentation (tattooing) is safe, non-surgical, it has been endorsed and used for years by medical surgeons in the medical field. Areolar micro-pigmentation procedure is carried out by trained & certified personnel who works with micro-pigmentation (tattooing). Re-creates an illusion of 3D areola and nipples to make the surgical area look more realistic. To carry out the procedure, patients determine the size, shape and color of pigment which is introduced into the dermis layer of the skin with a medical-grade tattoo machine that penetrates slightly deeper. With the right technology, complete nipple areola-nipple complex can draw attention away from the reconstructed breast mound and boosts the confidence of the patient. Mastectomy scar’s appearance can be softened, blended or reduced by tattooing the areolar scar using corrective pigment camouflage techniques.

Biography:

Gerald C Hsu has received an honorable PhD in Mathematics and majored in Engineering at MIT. He attended different universities over 17 years and studied seven academic disciplines. His main focus is on preventive medicine using prediction tools. He believes that the better the prediction, the more control you have.

Abstract:

Math-Physical Medicine approach (MPM) utilizes mathematics, physics, engineering models and computer science in medical research. Initially, the author spent four years of self-studying six chronic diseases and food nutrition to gain in-depth medical domain knowledge. During 2014, he defined metabolism as a nonlinear, dynamic and organic mathematical system having 10 categories with 500 elements. He then applied topology concept with partial differential equation and nonlinear algebra to construct a metabolism equation. He further defined and calculated two variables, metabolism index and general health status unit. During the past few years, he has collected and processed 1.5 million data. Since 2015, he developed prediction models, i.e. equations for both Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) and Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG). He identified 19 influential factors for PPG and five factors for FPG. He developed the PPG model using optical physics and signal processing. Furthermore, by using both wave and energy theories, he extended his research into the risk probability of heart attack or stroke. In this risk assessment, he applied structural mechanics concepts, including elasticity, dynamic plastic and fracture mechanics, to simulate artery rupture and applied fluid dynamics concepts to simulate artery blockage. He further decomposed 12,000 glucose waveforms with 21,000 data and then re-integrated them into three distinctive PPG waveform types which revealed different personality traits and psychological behaviors of type-2 diabetes patients. Furthermore, he also applied fourier transform to conduct frequency domain analyses to discover some hidden characteristics of glucose waves. He then developed an AI Glucometer tool for patients to predict their weight, FPG, PPG and A1C. It uses various computer science tools, including big data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence to achieve very high accuracy (95% to 99%).
