Oral administration of 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid prevents thoracic radiation induced pneumonitis in mice by suppressing NF-kB/IL-17/G-CSF/neutrophil axis.

TLDR
DSePA offers protection to normal lung against RP without affecting radiation sensitivity of tumors, and has the potential to be developed as an oral agent for preventing RP.

A Rosetta Stone for Breast Cancer: Prognostic Value and Dynamic Regulation of Neutrophil in Tumor Microenvironment.

TL;DR: The utility of circulating neutrophils for predicting prognosis and therapeutic efficacy and the underlying mechanisms of their chemotaxis, the dynamic regulation of their antitumor or protumor functions and their different spatial distributions in tumor microenvironment are discussed.

A fluorometric method for determination of oxidized and reduced glutathione in tissues.

TL;DR: Results for GSH levels agreed well with earlier reports but levels of GSSG estimated here were higher than earlier reported values, and the reasons for the apparently higher levels ofGSSG are discussed.

Phase III Randomized Trial of Amifostine as a Radioprotector in Head and Neck Cancer

TL;DR: With and without amifostine, 2-year local-regional control, disease-free survival, and overall survival were 58% versus 63, 53% versus 57%, and 71% versus 66%, respectively, while Antitumor treatment efficacy was preserved.
