Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a common and devastating primary brain tumor, with median survival of 16-18 months after diagnosis in the setting of substantial resistance to standard-of-care and inevitable tumor recurrence. Recent work has implicated the brain microenvironment as being critical for GBM proliferation, invasion, and resistance to treatment. GBM does not operate in isolation, with neurons, astrocytes, and multiple immune populations being implicated in GBM tumor progression and invasiveness. The goal of this review article is to provide an overview of the available in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experimental models for assessing GBM-brain interactions, as well as discuss each model's relative strengths and limitations. Current in vitro models discussed will include 2D and 3D co-culture platforms with various cells of the brain microenvironment, as well as spheroids, whole organoids, and models of fluid dynamics, such as interstitial flow. An overview of in vitro and ex vivo organotypic GBM brain slices is also provided. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the various in vivo rodent models of GBM, including xenografts, syngeneic grafts, and genetically-engineered models of GBM.

Efficacy and Safety of Temozolomide Combined with Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Malignant Glioma. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:3477918. [PMID: 35211253 PMCID: PMC8863446 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3477918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
MG is a clinical common intracranial tumor, with the characteristics of strong invasion. In our study, we aim to explore the efficacy and safety of temozolomide combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of malignant glioma (MG) and its influence on postoperative complications and survival rate of patients. 120 MG patients admitted to our hospital (January 2019-January 2020) were chosen as the research objects and were randomly divided into group A (n = 60) and group B (n = 60). All patients were treated with radiotherapy, and patients in group A were additionally treated with temozolomide. The clinical efficacy, quality of life, incidence of adverse reactions, incidence of postoperative complications, survival rates, and average survival time of the two groups were compared. The objective remission rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), survival rates after one year and two years of follow-up, and the number of patients with improved quality of life in group A were markedly higher compared with group B (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in group A was remarkably lower compared with group B (P < 0.05). The average survival time of group A was dramatically longer compared with group B (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05), and no new adverse reactions occurred in the patients. Temozolomide combined with radiotherapy can effectively improve the quality of life, treatment effect, and survival rate of MG patients, with a lower incidence of postoperative complications and better tolerance. Our finding indicates that temozolomide combined with radiotherapy has a high clinical application value. In addition, it indicates that this treatment method should be promoted in practice.

Individual response of humans to ionising radiation: governing factors and importance for radiological protection. RADIATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL BIOPHYSICS 2020; 59:185-209. [PMID: 32146555 DOI: 10.1007/s00411-020-00837-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2019] [Accepted: 02/26/2020] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Tissue reactions and stochastic effects after exposure to ionising radiation are variable between individuals but the factors and mechanisms governing individual responses are not well understood. Individual responses can be measured at different levels of biological organization and using different endpoints following varying doses of radiation, including: cancers, non-cancer diseases and mortality in the whole organism; normal tissue reactions after exposures; and, cellular endpoints such as chromosomal damage and molecular alterations. There is no doubt that many factors influence the responses of people to radiation to different degrees. In addition to the obvious general factors of radiation quality, dose, dose rate and the tissue (sub)volume irradiated, recognized and potential determining factors include age, sex, life style (e.g., smoking, diet, possibly body mass index), environmental factors, genetics and epigenetics, stochastic distribution of cellular events, and systemic comorbidities such as diabetes or viral infections. Genetic factors are commonly thought to be a substantial contributor to individual response to radiation. Apart from a small number of rare monogenic diseases such as ataxia telangiectasia, the inheritance of an abnormally responsive phenotype among a population of healthy individuals does not follow a classical Mendelian inheritance pattern. Rather it is considered to be a multi-factorial, complex trait.
