Each session lasted for approximately 15-30 minutes. Participants were asked to complete a QOL Questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30) before and after study time. Results: Fifty women with breast cancer were enrolled in the interventional group, and all of these patients ultimately completed the study, at the end of the study, the five functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social),  were significantly increased after the intervention by the clinical pharmacist. The three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain) were significantly decreased after the study. In addition, six individual measurement project scores were decreased at the end of the study. However, constipation was the only intervention that had no effect.

Cytotoxic potential activity of quercetin derivatives on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line
...Show More Authors

Many previous investigations have found quercetin to be a powerful antioxidant and antitumor flavonoid, but its poor bioavailability has limited its use. This current study investigated the effects of two newly synthesized Quercetin Schiff bases containing 2-amino thiadiazole-5-thiol (Q1), and its benzyl derivatives (Q2) on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed to determine the toxic effects of Q1 and Q2. Cytotoxicity valuation showed that both compounds inhibited MCF-7 cell growth, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity increased in a dose-dependent aspect compared to the control group. Comet assay results observed that Q1 and Q2 induce more serious DNA damage than the control (untreated cell
