Are selenium and sulindac synergistic to inhibit intestinal tumorigenesis in Apc/p21 mice?
The selenium is synergistic with sulindac to exert maximal effects on tumor inhibition. This finding provides an important chemopreventive strategy using combination of anti-cancer agents, which has a great impact on cancer prevention and has a promising translational potential.
Our study shows that the breakdown of the blood-ocular barrier as determined by aqueous flare is a major risk factor for PVR redetachment. The laser flare-cell meter is a fast, noninvasive, and safe tool that allows predicting the PVR redetachment risk preoperatively. It provides the surgeon with an estimate to choose those patients who could benefit from intravitreal drugs to prevent PVR.
