On entend fréquemment parler de «drogues dures» et de «drogues douces». Il n'existe en fait aucun critère scientifique permettant un tel classement. Une approximation définirait les «drogues dures» comme celles qui créent une dépendance physique (héroïne, autres opiacés, barbituriques, alcool) ou une dépendance psychique très rapide (crack) ou qui présentent un danger psychique (LSD, ecstasy, etc.) et les drogues douces comme les autres drogues (tabac et cannabis principalement). Une autre interprétation pourrait être de nommer «drogues douces» celles dont l'usage s'est plus ou moins banalisé et donc qui n'effraient pas comme l'alcool, le tabac et le cannabis, et même la cocaïne pour certains, les autres drogues étant classées comme dures. 2, record 1, French, - drogue%20douce

Most prostate cancer cells depend on hormones to grow. Hormones such as gonadotropin releasing hormone(GnRH) or luteinizing hormone releasing hormone(LHRH) are released from the hypothalamus gland in the brain. When these hormones are released, they promote the testicles to produce the male hormone, testosterone. Androgen Deprivation Therapy(ADT) deprives prostate cancer cells of the male hormones(known as androgens) that cancer cells require in order to grow. ADT is the most common therapy used in men with advanced prostate cancer. 3, record 7, English, - androgen%20deprivation%20therapy

La plupart des cellules cancéreuses de la prostate ont besoin d’hormones pour croître. L’hypothalamus libère dans le cerveau des hormones telles que la gonadolibérine (gn-RH) ou l’hormone de libération de l’hormone lutéinisante (LHRH). Lorsqu’elles sont libérées, ces hormones incitent les testicules à produire l’hormone mâle testostérone. Le traitement antiandrogénique prive les cellules cancéreuses de la prostate des hormones mâles (appelées androgènes) dont elles ont besoin pour croître.

An ingenious experiment offers hope for a new kind of surgery for cancer. Kenneth Culver(National Cancer Institute-USA spliced a snippet of DNA from a herpes virus into one of these retroviruses and injected the combination into rats suffering from brain cancer. Since cancer cells are about the only cells that are dividing in a cancer-infected brain, the viruses were supposed to invade those cells and multiply. After five days, the rats were treated with an antiherpes drug. The hope was that the toxin would kill herpes-infected cancer cells and leave the rest of the brain alone. In 11 of the 14 rats, the tumors disappeared completely. The results were so promising that an NIH watchdog committee has already approved a similar test on humans. The risks are high. The researchers will, in effect, be putting mouse genes directly into human brains. But the payoff could be great. Cancer Institute researchers are now searching for other inoperable cancers that might succumb to what they are calling molecular surgery. 1, record 11, English, - molecular%20surgery

Results of Johns Hopkins animal studies show that a natural shark substance nearly stops the growth of new blood vessels that nourish solid brain tumors. The results suggest that the substance, squalamine, named for the shark genus Squalus, may find a role with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery in treating brain cancer and other solid tumors in people, say scientists from Hopkins and Magainin Pharmaceuticals, which processes squalamine and funded the studies. Hopkins scientists added squalamine, a hormone-like chemical concentrated in the liver of the dogfish shark, and a growth factor to lab dishes containing central nervous system blood vessel cells from cows and squalamine alone to lab dishes containing human, rabbit or rat solid brain tumor cells. 2, record 12, English, - squalamine

During the past few years doctors have managed to repair deadly enzyme deficiencies in a handful of human subjects. Now they start to understand how to repair defective genes. Cancer cells, which have forgotten how to stop growing, will be reeducated. So will cells that have forgotten to keep growing, like the cells responsible for hair growth in balding men. Nongenetic damage could also be fixed. Nerve cells, for instance, which ordinarily don’t repair themselves, could be reconfigured to do so, whether in the aftermath of a spinal-cord injury or a brain disease like Alzheimer's. 1, record 13, English, - gene%20repair
