✦ Synopsis

Background. Reduction of biofilm formation on tracheoesophageal voice prostheses by certain dairy products might extend their clinical lifetime. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of certain dairy products on voice prosthetic biofilms and lifetimes in vitro and in vivo.

Methods. The in vitro results were accomplished using an artificial throat. The lifetimes of Provox2 prostheses were evaluated in a patient group that daily consumed the evaluated products.

Results. Buttermilk and Yakult Light fermented milk decreased the amount of bacteria on voice prostheses but stimulated yeast prevalence in vitro. Concurrently, lifetimes of voice prostheses in patients consuming buttermilk were not significantly different, whereas patients consuming Yakult Light fermented milk drink had a significantly (p < .01) increased prosthesis lifetime by a factor of 3.76.

Conclusion. Yakult Light fermented milk drink reduced biofilm formation on Provox2 prostheses in vitro and in vivo and significantly increased prosthesis lifetime. In vivo, no significant effects were observed for patients consuming buttermilk.

## Abstract 2‐methoxyestradiol (2ME~2~) is an endogenous metabolite of estradiol with estrogen‐receptor‐independent antitumor and antiangiogenic activity. We examined the effects of 2ME~2~ on the cellular proliferation of 8 human melanoma cell lines. We show that 2ME~2~ inhibited cell proliferation

Theaflavin-2 (TF-2), a major component of black tea extract, induces apoptosis of human colon cancer cells and suppresses serum-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression [1]. Here, we explored the mechanisms for activation of apoptosis, evaluated the impact on inflammatory genes in a broader panel

## Abstract In vitro studies have shown that CD44 is involved in the fusion process of osteoclast precursor cells. Yet, in vivo studies do not support this, since an osteopetrotic phenotype has not been described for CD44 knock‐out (CD44 k.o.) mice. This discrepancy may suggest that the role of CD4

## Abstract Thyroxine induces tail resorption in anurans both in vivo and in vitro. This event is accompanied by an increase in the activity of the hydrolytic enzymes acid phosphatase and B‐N‐acetylglucosaminidase. Prolactin treatment promotes tail growth and directly antagonizes the action of thyr
