From Nature to Synthetic Compounds: Novel 1(N),2,3 Trisubstituted-5-oxopyrrolidines Targeting Multiple Myeloma Cells.

The insurgence of drug resistance in treating Multiple Myeloma (MM) still represents a major hamper in finding effective treatments, although over the past decades new classes of drugs, such as proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs, have been discovered. Recently, our research team, within a Nature-Aided Drug Discovery project, isolated from Hibiscus Sabdariffa L. calyces the secondary metabolite called Hib-ester which possesses antiproliferative properties against human multiple myeloma RPMI 8226 cells, reduces migration and cell invasion and inhibits proteasome without neurotoxic

Hepatocellular carcinoma stem cells: the current state of small molecule-based inhibitors.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, accounting for over 90% of all cases. Patients with advanced-stage HCC are referred to systemic treatment. Although some advances in HCC therapy have been made in recent years, the prognosis for patients remains poor due to drug resistance, tumor relapse, and metastasis, implying that overall survival remains a challenge. Many studies have shown that tumor-initiating stem cells, also known as cancer stem cells (CSCs), play essential roles in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and treatment resistance in HCC and that future cancer

Nuances in the treatment of malignant tumors of the clival and petroclival region.

Introduction Malignancies of the clivus and petroclival region are mainly chordomas and chondrosarcomas. Although a spectrum of malignancies may present in this area, a finite group of commonly encountered malignant pathologies will be the focus of this review, as they are recognized to be formidable pathologies due to adjacent critical neurovascular structures and challenging surgical approaches. Objectives The objective is to review the literature regarding medical and surgical management of malignant tumors of the clival and petroclival region with a focus on clinical presentation, diagnost

Real-Life Experience with Pomalidomide plus Low-Dose Dexamethasone in Patients with Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Retrospective and Prospective Study.

Background and Objectives: The treatment of Myeloma after the second relapse is still challenging. The aim of the study was to investigate the outcomes of the POM-DEX regimen in real clinical practice. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively and prospectively analyzed 121 patients with MM treated with POM-DEX in three Italian sites in Tuscany. We assessed the efficacy based on IMWG Uniform Response Criteria in 106 patients who had received at least two courses of the POM-DEX regimen. The median time from diagnosis to use of POM-DEX was 65 months. POM-DEX median use was in the fourth-line the

The concept of multidimensional frailty in geriatric oncology: a systematic scoping review.

BACKGROUND: One of the major challenges in geriatric oncology is to estimate the risk-benefit balance of any therapeutic proposal for each patient and frailty is one of the key components of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)and can also be assessed using stand-alone screening tools that predicts functional decline, treatment-related complications and mortality. This study aimed to provide an overview of the existing literature on the concept of multidimensional frailty in older adults with cancer, to clarify the dimensions included in multidimensional frailty, and the components of frai

Recent advances in use of fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, immunoglobulins, and clotting factors for transfusion support in patients with hematologic disease.

Hematologic diseases include a broad range of acquired and congenital disorders, many of which affect plasma proteins that control hemostasis and immune responses. Therapeutic interventions for these disorders include transfusion of plasma, cryoprecipitate, immunoglobulins, or convalescent plasma-containing therapeutic antibodies from patients recovering from infectious diseases, as well as concentrated pro- or anticoagulant factors. This review will focus on recent advances in the uses of plasma and its derivatives for patients with acquired and congenital hematologic disorders.

Isolated cranial nerve disorder as presenting sign in multiple sclerosis: optic nerve versus "the others".

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of cranial nerve involvement in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) varies across studies. It has been speculated that first presentation of disease with cranial nerve involvement - except for optic neuritis - may be associated with milder progression. AIM: This study compares the clinical outcome of patients with MS in a 4-year follow-up of patients with initial symptoms of optic neuritis (ON) versus those with other cranial nerve (OCN) involvement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of MS patient database of a tertiary referral university MS center. We included tr

Дисфагия в множестве склерозов: патофизиология, оценка и обзор управления.

Дисфагия является частым и угрожающим жизни осложнением множественного склероза (МС). На всех этапах НР могут присутствовать недуги, хотя их распространенность возрастает с возрастом, с продолжительностью болезни и в прогрессивных фенотипах. Патофизиология дисфагии в MS, вероятно, объясняется сочетанием различных факторов, включая участие кортикобулбарных трактатов, мозжечка и мозговой стеблей. Точный диагноз и раннее лечение расстройств, связанных с глотанием, повышают качество жизни и могут откладывать осложнения или инвазивные терапевтические меры. Здесь мы приводим обзор патофизиологии, оц

Synthesis and biological evaluation of a new polymeric conjugate and nanocarrier with osteotropic properties.

Bone-seeking (osteotropic) drug delivery systems (ODDS) represent an interesting solution for targeting different types of drugs to the bones. In particular, anticancer and antibacterial agents could take advantage of such therapeutic strategy. We have recently developed an innovative approach to this aim: a new osteotropic biomaterial was prepared, based on the conjugation of a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with the bisphosphonate drug alendronate (PLGA-ALE); its hemo- and cytocompatibility were verified. Starting with this copolymer, an osteotropic nanoparticle system (NP) was produced f

The anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor Pazopanib kills cancer cells and disrupts endothelial networks in biomimetic three-dimensional renal tumouroids.

Pazopanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat renal cell carcinoma. Few in vitro studies investigate its effects towards cancer cells or endothelial cells in the presence of cancer. We tested the effect of Pazopanib on renal cell carcinoma cells (CAKI-2,786-O) in two-dimensional and three-dimensional tumouroids made of dense extracellular matrix, treated in normoxia and hypoxia. Finally, we engineered complex tumouroids with a stromal compartment containing fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Simple CAKI-2 tumouroids were more resistant to Pazopanib than 786-O tumouroids. Under hypoxia

Acquired Factor X Deficiency without Amyloidosis Presenting with Massive Hematuria: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Acquired factor X deficiency is a rare diagnosis, especially without the association of other co-existing conditions such as amyloidosis. The authors report the case of a 34-year-old male with severe frank hematuria found to have markedly prolonged prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time. A mixing study showed correction utilizing normal plasma and a coagulation panel testing revealed decreased factor X activity.
