CCN proteins in the musculoskeletal system: current understanding and challenges in physiology and pathology.

The acronym for the CCN family was recently revised to represent "cellular communication network". These six, small, cysteine-enriched and evolutionarily conserved proteins are secreted matricellular proteins, that convey and modulate intercellular communication by interacting with structural proteins, signalling factors and cell surface receptors. Their role in the development and physiology of musculoskeletal system, constituted by connective tissues where cells are interspersed in the cellular matrix, has been broadly studied. Previous research has highlighted a crucial balance of CCN prote

Cellular senescence-from solid organs to vascularized composite allotransplants.

Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has emerged as a novel therapy approach to restore form and function in patients with severe tissue defects of the face, hand, and abdominal wall, among other anatomical regions. The composite allografts comprise different tissues such as skin, muscle, or bone. Clinical data demonstrate promising mid- and long-term outcomes following VCA surgery, but our understanding of the cellular interactions and molecular pathways in VCA surgery is oftentimes deduced from solid organ transplantation (SOT). In SOT, the concept of cellular senescence has grow

Outcomes of Conservative Versus Surgical Treatment of Dropped Head Syndrome in a Single Institution: A Case Series and Review of the Literature.

Dropped head syndrome (DHS), also known as camptocephalia, is characterized by a mobile chin-on-chest deformity from hypotonia of the cervical extensor muscle or hypertonia of the anterior neck muscles. There remains a paucity of quality published literature on this topic, particularly its management. The objective of this study is to identify radiographic and clinical outcomes of surgery as compared to nonsurgical treatment, to summarize the literature, and to create a decision-making paradigm for managing patients with DHS. As such, we report outcomes of our retrospective chart review series

Lipocalin 2-not only a biomarker: a study of current literature and systematic findings of ongoing clinical trials.

Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), also known as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, is an innate immune protein encoded by the LCN2 gene. In this study, we investigated various roles and functions of Lcn2 characterized in a systems-based format and evaluated its therapeutic potentials and clinical relevance for diagnosis and prognosis. An additional systematic presentation was presented for 70 ongoing clinical trials utilizing Lcn2 in the diagnostic and prognostic setting as a key outcome measure. With trials being conducted through December 2030, Lcn2 will become all the more relevant given its ass

Thalidomide upper limb embryopathy - pathogenesis, past and present management and future considerations.

This review article provides a comprehensive overview of thalidomide upper limb embryopathy including updates about its pathogenesis, a historical account of the management of the paediatric thalidomide patient, experience with management of the adult patient, as well as creating awareness about early onset age-related changes associated with limb differences. Despite its withdrawal from the market in November 1961, novel discoveries have meant thalidomide is licensed again and currently still in use to treat a variety of conditions, including inflammatory disorders and some cancers. Yet, if n

Impact of myosteatosis on prognosis in multiple myeloma patients: A subgroup analysis of 182 cases and development of a nomogram.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to explore the prognostic value of myosteatosis in multiple myeloma (MM) and to analyze the factors influencing myosteatosis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 182 patients treated for MM at our institution from 2009 to 2020 who underwent MRI examinations. The fatty infiltration rate (FIR) of the erector spinae and multifidus muscles at the L3 level was measured to assess the degree of myosteatosis. Patients were grouped based on fracture presence and median FIR, and group differences were compared, with P < 0.05 considered statistically significan

Small-Fiber Neuropathy: An Etiology-Oriented Review.

BackgroundSmall-fiber neuropathy (SFN), affecting Aδ or C nerve fibers, is characterized by alterations of pain and temperature sensation, as well as autonomic dysfunction. Its diagnosis may still remain challenging as methods specifically assessing small nerve fibers are not always readily available, and standard techniques for large-fiber neuropathies, such as electroneuromyography, yield negative results. Still, skin biopsy for epidermal innervation and quantitative sensory testing allow for diagnosis in the presence of a congruent clinical picture.ObjectivesMany different etiologies may un

Managing treatment-related peripheral neuropathy in patients with multiple myeloma.

Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most important complications of multiple myeloma treatment. Neurological damage can be observed at the onset of the disease, due to the effect of monoclonal protein or radicular compression, but more often is treatment related. Vinca alkaloids in the past era, and more recently, thalidomide and bortezomib are mainly responsible. Degeneration of dorsal root ganglion is common, prevalently related to angiogenesis inhibition and cytokine modulation in the case of thalidomide and inhibition of the ubiquitin proteasome system in the case of bortezomib. Sensory ne

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Management of POEMS Syndrome.

Polyneuropathy Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal protein and Skin changes syndrome is a rare multisystem condition with a range of manifestations which are often overlooked as trivial comorbidities, until their whole triggers the possibility of the diagnosis. The diagnosis is typically delayed by 12-16 months, by which time patients can be severely disabled. There are no established consensus guidelines. We provide clinicians a comprehensive blueprint for managing POEMS from diagnostic suspicion through the work-up, selection of therapy, follow-up, and treatment of relapse based on publ

Synthetic nickel-containing superoxide dismutase attenuates para-phenylenediamine-induced bladder dysfunction in rats.

Para (p)-phenylenediamine and its toxic metabolites induce excess reactive oxygen species formation that results in bladder voiding dysfunction. We determined the effects of synthetic Ni-containing superoxide dismutase mimics and the role of oxidative stress in p-phenylenediamine-induced urinary bladder dysfunction. P-phenylenediamine (60 μg/kg/day) was intraperitoneally administered for 4 weeks to induce bladder injury in female Wistar rats. Synthetic Ni-containing superoxide dismutase mimics, WCT003 (1.5 mg/kg) and WCT006 (1.5 mg/kg), were then intraperitoneally administered for 2 weeks. Tra

Scoping Review of Treatment Strategies for Holmes Tremor: Pharmacological and Surgical Interventions.

BACKGROUND: Holmes tremor is a rare neurological condition, first described in 1904, characterized by a low-frequency tremor that manifests at rest, posture, and action. Despite its recognition for over a century, effective treatment strategies for Holmes tremor remain elusive due to its rarity and challenges in conducting robust studies. METHODS: Given that the existent medical literature on Holmes tremor is based on reports and case series, we conducted a survey using the keywords "Holmes tremor" and "Rubral tremor" to analyze the therapeutic approaches utilized, as well as their success ra

Non-Hematologic Toxicity of Bortezomib in Multiple Myeloma: The Neuromuscular and Cardiovascular Adverse Effects.

The overall approach to the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has undergone several changes during the past decade. and proteasome inhibitors (PIs) including bortezomib, carfilzomib, and ixazomib have considerably improved the outcomes in affected patients. The first-in-class selective PI bortezomib has been initially approved for the refractory forms of the disease but has now become, in combination with other drugs, the backbone of the frontline therapy for newly diagnosed MM patients, as well as in the maintenance therapy and relapsed/refractory setting. Despite being among the most widely

Muscle wasting in cancer: opportunities and challenges for exercise in clinical cancer trials.

BACKGROUND: Low muscle in cancer is associated with an increase in treatment-related toxicities and is a predictor of cancer-related and all-cause mortality. The mechanisms of cancer-related muscle loss are multifactorial, including anorexia, hypogonadism, anaemia, inflammation, malnutrition, and aberrations in skeletal muscle protein turnover and metabolism. METHODS: In this narrative review, we summarise relevant literature to (i) review the factors influencing skeletal muscle mass regulation, (ii) provide an overview of how cancer/treatments negatively impact these, (iii) review factors be
