Do longitudinal study of a mouse model of chronic pulmonary inflammation using breath hold gated micro-CT?
Longitudinal studies using breath hold gated micro-CT are feasible on the silica-induced model of chronic pulmonary inflammation, and automatic measurements from micro-CT images correlate well with histomorphometry, being more sensitive than functional tests to detect lung damage in this model.
BCLT, which inhibits growth in both human PCa cell lines and PCa primary cultures from patients with medium and low-grade tumors, deserves attention as a potential widely effective antiandrogenic monotherapy in prostatic carcinoma. However, its efficacy in AR-negative cells requires further research.
