Zinc lozenges: cold cure or candy? Solution chemistry determinations.

Abstract:

:Common colds were shortened by 7 days in a 1984 clinical trial using zinc gluconate throat lozenges each 2 h. Between then and 2004, 10 other double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials showed widely varying results. This re-analysis of these trials presents solution chemistry methods to elucidate differences in efficacy. Statistically significant correlation was shown between total daily dosages of positively charged zinc species and reductions in median (p = 0.005) and mean duration (p < 0.02) of common colds in these trials.

  • Higher Ki67 expression in fibroblast like cells at invasive front indicates better clinical outcomes in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients.

    abstract::Background: Ki67 has been a key role for the treatment options and prognosis evaluation in some kinds of tumors; however, the spatial expression of Ki67 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has not been fully-evaluated. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to elucidate the prognosis value of Ki67 spatial expres...
