TL;DR: Examination of young adults' use of social media websites to post public images and videos of themselves depicting alcohol consumption, inebriated behavior, or recreational marijuana use revealed that the majority of image and video representations of alcohol consumption depicted females in social gatherings while images of marijuana use depicted solitary males.

TL;DR: Understanding the important role of IL-6 and its family members’ effects on the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer tumor growth and metastasis may lead to more novel treatments, detection methods, and improvement of overall clinical outcomes.
Abstract: Ovarian cancer is the most fatal gynecological cancer in the USA and the fifth most common cancer-related cause of death in women. Inflammation has been shown to play many roles in ovarian cancer tumor growth, with the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) having been established as a key immunoregulatory cytokine. Ovarian cancer cells continuously secrete cytokines that promote tumorigenicity in both autocrine and paracrine fashions while also receiving signals from the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME contains many cells including leukocytes and fibroblasts, which respond to proinflammatory cytokines and secrete their own cytokines, which can produce many effects including promotion of chemoresistance, resistance to apoptosis, invasion, angiogenesis by way of overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor, and promotion of metastatic growth at distant sites. IL-6 and its proinflammatory family members, including oncostatin M, have been found to directly stimulate enhanced invasion of cancer cells through basement membrane degradation caused by the overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases, stimulate promotion of cell cycle, enhance resistance to chemotherapy, and cause epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). IL-6 has been shown to activate signaling pathways that lead to tumor proliferation, the most studied of which being the Janus kinase (JAK) and STAT3 pathway. IL-6-induced JAK/STAT activation leads to constitutive activation of STAT3, which has been correlated with enhanced tumor cell growth and resistance to chemotherapy. IL-6 has also been shown to act as a trigger of the EMT, the hypothesized first step in the metastatic cascade. Understanding the important role of IL-6 and its family members' effects on the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer tumor growth and metastasis may lead to more novel treatments, detection methods, and improvement of overall clinical outcomes.

TL;DR: Results indicated that participants in the intervention group (WI and MI conditions combined) reported significantly lower levels of drinking than those in the control group at a 30-day follow-up, supporting the use of web-based feedback as a stand-alone alcohol prevention program for young adults in the workplace.

TL;DR: It is concluded that controlling the electrostatic attraction between nanoparticles and their cellular targets may permit the modulation of nanoparticle cytotoxicity.
Abstract: Nanoscale materials can have cytotoxic effects. Here we present the first combined empirical and theoretical investigation of the influence of electrostatic attraction on nanoparticle cytotoxicity. Modeling electrostatic interactions between cells and 13 nm spheres of zinc oxide nanoparticles provided insight into empirically determined variations of the minimum inhibitory concentrations between four differently charged isogenic strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. We conclude that controlling the electrostatic attraction between nanoparticles and their cellular targets may permit the modulation of nanoparticle cytotoxicity.
