Aircraft noise, overheating and poor air quality in London primary schools' classrooms by Montazami, Azadeh

“…On an average, as a result of closing windows, the aircraft noise drops by 15dB (depending on the type of windows) which makes the inside noise to be around 42dB-60dB. This is still higher than the 35dB which is the acceptable limit for background noise for primary school classrooms as recommended by Building Bulletin 93. …”

Tumorigenic role of podoplanin in esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma by ., Nur Rahadiani, Ikeda, Jun-ichiro, Makino, Tomoki, Tian, Tian, Qiu, Ying, Mamat, Suhana, Wang, Yi, Doki, Yuichiro, Aozasa, Katsuyuki, Morii, Eiichi

“…Cancer cells comprise a heterogeneous group of cells, among which only a small population of cells possesses the ability to reconstitute a whole tumor.1–3 This population, called cancer stem cells (CSCs), efficiently forms colonies in semisolid culture and is xenotransplantable in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice.4 CSCs were first identified in leukemia and subsequently isolated from solid tumors, such as those of breast, brain, prostate, melanoma, colon, pancreas, head/neck, liver, and gastric cancers.5–15 CSCs are known to be resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and are more invasive than non-CSCs. Recognition of CSCs and their efficient elimination may be a valuable strategy for treatment of cancers. …”
