Andrographolide pre-treatment enhances the anti-tumor activity of topotecan on acute myeloid leukemia cells in vitro by Rizk, Sandra

“…The pro-apoptotic effect upon combination of topotecan with andrographolide was further observed using annexin V/PI staining; even though andrographolide alone did not alter cell survival, however, when applied to the cells prior to topotecan treatment, the number of apoptotic cells increased from 16% to 57%. Conclusion: Pretreating acute myeloid leukemia cell lines with non-cytotoxic doses of andrographolide promotes the anti-tumor effect of topotecan in vitro.…”

The Impact of Sporting Events on Air Pollution: An Empirical Examination of National Football League Games by Nicholas Watanabe (19450285)

“…From this, multiple regression analysis was utilized to estimate whether the number of fans was related to changes in air pollution. (3) Results: The regression models found that Ozone and Nitrogen Dioxide levels increased as more individuals attended NFL games. Additional robustness checks and falsification tests suggest that the average NFL event results in an approximately two-percent increase in Ozone levels. (4) Conclusions: The findings from this study contribute to the literature by providing evidence that highly attended sporting events increase pollution levels in the areas near stadiums. …”
