MOSCOW Karl Joseph Raiders Jersey , Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday that the upcoming Russia-India military drills do not target China and expressed confidence that China and India can resolve their border tensions.


"Russia does not carry out military exercises or other cooperative events that may lead to worsening relations of a country we maintain multilateral ties with," said the ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.


Responding to a question raised by Xinhua at her weekly briefing, Zakharova reaffirmed that Russia has brilliant relations with China, adding that attempts to distort the situation can only be viewed as a "provocation".


Indian media outlets reported last week that the "Indra" 2017 exercises will be held in Russia on Oct. 19-29 to improve the coordination of the two militaries. The "Indra" drills have been held regularly since 2003.


Some newspapers stressed that the exercises are set to take place amid deteriorating ties between India and China following India's incursion into China's territory.


Zakharova said that Russia always provides all interested parties with comprehensive information "in order to stop any speculation on such issues as soon as possible."


As for the border standoff, she said: "We express absolute confidence that New Delhi and Beijing, as responsible members of the international community David Sharpe Raiders Jersey , will be able to find mutually acceptable ways to quickly resolve the tensions."




CHICAGO, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- An experimental drug combined with the traditional chemotherapy drug cisplatin destroyed a rare form of salivary gland tumor in mice and prevented a recurrence within 300 days, a University of Michigan (UM) study found.


Typically, oncologists treat this rare cancer called adenoid cystic carcinoma, or ACC, with surgery and radiation Eddie Vanderdoes Raiders Jersey , and rarely use chemotherapy as ACC is extremely slow-growing, and chemotherapy works best on cancers where cells divide rapidly and tumors grow quickly, said Jacques N?r, a UM professor of dentistry, otolaryngology and biomedical engineering and principal investigator on the study.


The N?r lab treated ACC tumors with a novel drug called MI-773, and then combined MI-773 with traditional chemotherapy cisplatin. MI-773 prevents a molecular interaction that causes tumor cells to thrive by disarming the critical cancer fighting protein Obi Melifonwu Raiders Jersey , p53.


Study co-author Shaomeng Wang, UM professor of medicine, pharmacology and medicinal chemistry, discovered MI-773.


Researchers believe that blocking that interaction sensitized ACC cancer cells to cisplatin, a drug that under normal conditions wouldn't work. When administered to the mice with ACC tumors, the cisplatin targeted and killed the bulk cells that form the tumor mass Gareon Conley Raiders Jersey , while MI-773 killed the more resistant cancer stem cells that cause tumor recurrence and metastasis.


"This drug MI-773 prevents that interaction, so p53 can induce cell death," N?r said.


"We did not observe any recurrence in the mice that were treated with this drug after 300 days, and we observed about 62 percent recurrence in the control group that had only the surgery," N?r said. "It's our belief that by combining conventional chemotherapy with MI-773, a drug that kills more cancer stem cells Authentic Giorgio Tavecchio Jersey , we can have a more effective surgery or ablation."
