The Association between Prostate-Specific Antigen Velocity (PSAV), Value and Acceleration, and of the Free PSA/Total PSA Index or Ratio, with Prostate Conditions.

INTRODUCTION: Prostate-specific antigen velocity (PSAV) is used to monitor men with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa), with a norm … of BPH and more positive acceleration of PSAV. GC had more normal prostates, more BPH, more use of ranitidine, and more PSAV with negative acceleration. CONCLUSIONS: PSAV, direction of PSAV acceleration, and iPSA in PSA cut-off points of 0.78 ng/mL and 2.01 ng/mL in a priori healthy men over 47 predict the probability of benign or malignant pathology of th …

Platelet flow cytometric findings in patients undergoing conditioning therapy for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The conditioning regimen preceding hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) causes a rapid decrease in the platelet count and signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation, possibly indicating platelet activation. As impacts during the conditioning regimen may predict later transplantation-associated complications, we investigated changes in platelet membrane glycoproteins (GP) and the liberation of microparticles. Platelet receptors and granules of 49 patients undergoing HSCT were evaluated by flow cytometric analysis before and after the different phases of the conditioning regimen [

Curcuma longa extract protects against gastric ulcers by blocking H2 histamine receptors.

Curcuma longa has been commonly used as a traditional remedy for a variety of symptoms such as inflammation, gastritis and gastric ulcer. When C. longa extract was administered per os to pylori-ligated rat stomachs, it reduced gastric acid secretion and protected against the formation of gastric mucosal lesions. We therefore tested whether C. longa extract inhibits gastric ulcers by blocking the H(2) histamine receptor. Dimaprit, a H(2) histamine receptor agonist, induced intracellular cAMP production in U937 and HL-60 promyelocytes. Pretreatment with C. longa extract significantly blocked dim

De novo erosive esophagitis in duodenal ulcer patients related to pre-existing reflux symptoms, smoking, and patient age, but not to Helicobacter pylori eradication: a one-year follow-up study.

UNLABELLED: It remains unclear whether the Helicobacter pylori eradication may cause or provoke gastroesophageal reflux disease. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the role of H. pylori eradication and other factors in the development of erosive esophagitis in patients with duodenal ulcer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We enrolled 183 H. pylori-positive duodenal ulcer patients without erosive esophagitis. Final endoscopy was performed 12 months later or in case if ulcer relapse was suspected. H. pylori was diagnosed by the urease test and histology if the results of at least one of the tests were posi

Celiac-associated peptic disease at upper endoscopy: how common is it?

OBJECTIVE: Recently, several publications in adults have shown an increased incidence of non-Helicobacter pylori (HP), non-non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) peptic disease (PD). There are only a few case reports linking celiac disease (CD) to PD. We therefore aimed to review our experience of CD presenting with PD. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all the endoscopies performed for children and young adults diagnosed with CD between 1 January, 2004 and 31 October, 2008. The diagnosis of CD was based on accepted guidelines. Patients with a doubtful diagnosis of CD we

Safety of Rapid Daratumumab Infusion: A Retrospective, Multicenter, Real-Life Analysis on 134 Patients With Multiple Myeloma.

BackgroundThe anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab is the backbone of most anti-multiple myeloma (MM) regimens. To mitigate the risk of infusion-related reactions (IRRs), intravenous daratumumab administration requires 7 hours for the first infusion and 3.5-4 hours thereafter, thus making daratumumab-containing regimens burdensome for patients and health care resources. Preliminary data suggest that a rapid (90-minute) infusion of daratumumab is safe and does not increase IRRs. The rapid schedule was adopted by our centers since 2019.MethodsWe conducted an observational multi-center, real

In Esophageal Squamous Cells From Eosinophilic Esophagitis Patients, Th2 Cytokines Increase Eotaxin-3 Secretion Through Effects on Intracellular Calcium and a Non-Gastric Proton Pump.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: In upper airway cells, T helper 2 cytokines that signal through interleukin-4 (IL-4) receptor-α have been shown to stimulate eotaxin-3 secretion via a nongastric proton pump (ngH+,K+ATPase). To seek novel targets for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) treatments, we evaluated ngH+,K+ATPase expression in EoE squamous cells, and explored molecular pathways involved in eotaxin-3 secretion by IL-4 receptor-α signaling. METHODS: ngH+,K+ATPase expression in EoE cells was evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. IL-4-stimulated eotaxin-3 secr

Decreased intestinal CYP3A and P-glycoprotein activities in rats with adjuvant arthritis.

Adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) rats have been used as an animal model for rheumatoid arthritis. Several studies have shown that the pharmacokinetics of a number of drugs are altered in AA rats. We investigated the effects of AA on the barrier functions of the intestine using a rat model. Intestinal CYP3A activities (midazolam 1'-hydroxylation and 7-benzyloxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-coumarin 7-hydroxylation) in AA rats were significantly decreased compared with those in normal rats, with marked decrease observed in the upper segment of intestine. Intestinal P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity at upper

Increasing use of sodium nitrite in suicides-an emerging trend.

Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is a compound with broad practical applications in food preservation, automotive maintenance, and animal control. Sodium nitrite is also potentially fatal when ingested, as it interferes with the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen. While incidents of accidental consumption have been reported in the literature, case reports of sodium nitrite being used as a pharmacological suicide agent are becoming more frequent. Therefore, a study was undertaken to evaluate trends in sodium nitrite deaths in South Australia between 2000 and 2019. All cases of fatal sodium ni
