1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 11/01/2004 - "Fluorodeoxyglucose is the most widely used probe for positron emission tomography (PET) tumor imaging; however, carbon 11-labeled acetate appears to show improved sensitivity and specificity for HCC. " 04/01/1991 - "By injecting micro activated carbon into the submucosa of the rectum near the tumor, the number of the defection of removed lymph nodes in non-radiation as well as radiation group was markedly improved, 48.6 and 54.2 respectively. " 09/10/2014 - "While the mesoporous carbon shell provides high drug loading capacity, the embedded fluorescent carbon dots convert near-infrared (NIR) light to heat, and hence kill the tumor cells efficiently and enhance the drug release rate to further improve the therapeutic efficacy under NIR irradiation. " 03/01/2009 - "Our findings suggest that an HDACI-induced change in carbon source preference could contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of these drugs by creating a pattern of fuel utilization that is incompatible with rapid tumor growth and survival. " 10/01/2012 - "The method's smaller impact on the nontargeted brain might allow carbon therapy at higher target doses and/or lower normal tissue impact, thus leading to a more effective treatment of radioresistant tumors. "
2.	Neoplasm Metastasis (Metastasis) 03/31/2015 - "In events of lymph node metastasis or no extracapsular invasion, carbon nanoparticles can adequately protect parathyroid functions." 12/01/2014 - "The metastasis lymph nodes in the nano-carbon group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.01). " 10/01/2014 - "Carbon nanoparticle may improve the detected rate of metastasis lymph nodes, but may not be helpful to the prevention of postoperative hypoparathyrosim." 05/01/2014 - "The rate of black-dyed harvested lymph node was 61.9% and the metastasis rate of black-dyed lymph node was 23.0% in carbon nanoparticle group, which were significantly higher than those without black-dyed(6.2%, P<0.05) and those in control group (15.7%, P<0.05). " 01/01/2013 - "Carbon nanoparticles mapping SLN can more accurately predict perigastric lymph node metastasis status in patients with EGC."
3.	Starvation 12/01/2015 - "Dispersal of SBW25 biofilms was significantly greater than of SBW25ΔviscA biofilms after 3 h and, importantly, carbon starvation strongly induced viscA expression, in particular for cells that were apparently leaving the biofilm. " 12/03/2015 - "Using data from the world's longest-running experimental drought study in tropical rainforest (in the Brazilian Amazon), we test whether carbon starvation or deterioration of the water-conducting pathways from soil to leaf trigger tree mortality. " 10/01/2015 - "Our previous study showed the increased expression of an uncharacterised putative GPCR, gprH, during carbon starvation. " 07/01/2014 - "In this study, carbon starvation at suboptimal temperatures in nonhost environments was simulated by starving a New Zealand bovine E. " 07/01/2014 - "A time resolved metabolomics study: the influence of different carbon sources during growth and starvation of Bacillus subtilis."
4.	Chordoma 11/01/2014 - "Highly effective treatment of skull base chordoma with carbon ion irradiation using a raster scan technique in 155 patients: first long-term results." 11/01/2014 - "Carbon ion therapy appears to be a safe and effective treatment for patients with skull base chordoma, resulting in high LC and OS rates." 01/01/2014 - "Data of a Japanese study of patients with unresectable sacral chordoma showed comparable high control rates after hypofractionated carbon ion therapy only. " 01/01/2010 - " aim of this study is to find out, whether the biological advantages of carbon ion therapy can also be clinically confirmed and translated into the better local control rates in the treatment of skull base chordomas. " 07/01/2015 - "High-dose photon/carbon ion beam radiation therapy is safe and, especially for primary sacral chordomas, highly effective. "
5.	Infection 05/01/2013 - "This study demonstrates for the first time the impact of viral infection on carbon assimilation and cell morphology of individual axenic P. globosa cells using two single cell techniques: high resolution nanometre-scale Secondary-Ion Mass Spectrometry (nanoSIMS) approach and atomic force microscopy (AFM). " 08/01/2009 - "This study compares adhesion of seven bacterial strains, commonly implicated in implant-related infections, to tetrahedral amorphous carbon, with their adhesion to AISI 316L surgical steel. " 09/01/2006 - "In this study, we investigated amorphous carbon coatings (a-C:H) for their ability to effectively reduce or to repress the progressive formation of infection-enhancing crystalline biofilms as new functional surface coatings. " 12/01/2015 - "SCYLV infection affects carbon assimilation and metabolism in sugarcane, resulting in stunted plants in severe cases. " 10/01/2015 - "During infection, host-derived lipid components present the major carbon source at the infection site. "
