Lung Cancer Stem Cells Research. Clues From Ontogeny, Yu Xu, Yi-De Hu
Lung Cancer Stem Cells Research. Clues From Ontogeny, Yu Xu, Yi-De Hu
Saudi Medical Journal
Cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis provides us with a new approach to the understanding of carcinogenesis, therapeutics, and prevention strategies. In recent years, the origin and biological characteristics of CSC were widely studied in solid tumors; it is astonishing to find out the delicate relevancy between CSC and committed progenitors evolved from embryonic stem cells (ESC) during organ development. In this review, we propose that some key molecular signal pathways during lung development are crucial for abnormal self-renewal and differentiation of lung cancer stem cell as well as try to elaborate the lung CSCs from the point view of ontogeny.

Vitamin D Deficiency In Saudi Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Laila H. Damanhouri
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: To determine vitamin D status among Saudi patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) versus matched control group. METHODS: Hospital-based cohorts of 165 SLE patients and 214 SLE-free volunteers were recruited at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between January 2006 and June 2008. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] were measured. Vitamin D sufficiency is defined as a serum level of 25(OH)D >75nmol/L (>30ng/ml). A level ranging between >50 to <75nmol/L (>20 to <30ng/ml) is considered as vitamin D insufficiency, whereas <50nmol/L (<20ng/ml) as vitamin D deficiency. Both deficiency and insufficiency are considered to comprise vitamin D inadequacy. RESULTS: The prevalence of SLE patients with 25(OH) D inadequacy and deficiency was higher than in the control group: 98.8 versus 55%, 89.7 versus 20% (p<0.0001). Only 2 (1.2%) SLE patients had adequate levels of 25(OH)D compared to 96 (45%) of control group (p<0.0001). The mean serum levels (nmol/L) of 25(OH)D in SLE patients with vitamin D inadequacy and deficiency in comparison to the control group were 22.3 ± 13.6 versus 44.5 ± 17.5 (p<0.0001) and 19.1 ± 9.5 versus 22.9 ± 6.7 (p=0.0152). No significant differences were evident in female and male patients with SLE with respect to the mean serum levels of 25(OH)D and prevalence of its deficiency. CONCLUSION: Vitamin D inadequacy is highly prevalent in Saudi patients with SLE. Vitamin D supplementation and its evaluation in the treatment of SLE should be considered. Vitamin D inadequacy is highly prevalent in Saudi patients with SLE. Vitamin D supplementation and its evaluation in the treatment of SLE should be considered.
