Accidental Ixazomib Overdose in a Patient With Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological malignancy. Ixazomib is the first oral proteasome inhibitor approved in the United States for the management of multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior treatment. The availability of oral chemotherapeutic agents for the management of multiple myeloma has made it easier for patients who do not have to come to the hospital for chemotherapy infusions. However, many barriers are associated with oral chemotherapy, and one of them is a misinterpretation of instruction which can have deleterious effects. In this case report, we pr

Treatment of medulloblastoma using an oncolytic measles virus encoding the thyroidal sodium iodide symporter shows enhanced efficacy with radioiodine.

BackgroundMedulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. Although the clinical outcome for medulloblastoma patients has improved significantly, children afflicted with the disease frequently suffer from debilitating side effects related to the aggressive nature of currently available therapy. Alternative means for treating medulloblastoma are desperately needed. We have previously shown that oncolytic measles virus (MV) can selectively target and destroy medulloblastoma tumor cells in localized and disseminated models of the disease. MV-NIS, an oncolytic measles virus t

PurposeOmacetaxine mepesuccinate is a first-in-class cephalotaxine demonstrating clinical activity in chronic myeloid leukemia. A subcutaneous (SC) formulation demonstrated efficacy and safety in phase 1/2 trials in patients previously treated with ≥1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This study assessed pharmacokinetics and safety of SC omacetaxine in patients with advanced cancers.MethodsOmacetaxine 1.25 mg/m(2) SC was administered BID, days 1-14 every 28 days for 2 cycles, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Blood and urine were collected to measure omacetaxine concentrations and i

The investigation of oncolytic viruses in the field of cancer therapy.

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have emerged as a potential strategy for tumor treatment due to their ability to selectively replicate in tumor cells, induce apoptosis, and stimulate immune responses. However, the therapeutic efficacy of single OVs is limited by the complexity and immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). To overcome these challenges, engineering OVs has become an important research direction. This review focuses on engineering methods and multi-modal combination therapies for OVs aimed at addressing delivery barriers, viral phagocytosis, and antiviral immunity in

Semaglutide: a key medication for managing cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome.

Recent trials underscore the cardiovascular (CV), renal, and metabolic benefits of semaglutide in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). In T2D, semaglutide enhances glycemic control, reduces major adverse CV events (MACE), and slows chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. The SUSTAIN-6 trial demonstrated a 26% MACE reduction (HR 0.74; 95% CI: 0.58-0.95; p = 0.02) in high CV-risk patients with T2D using semaglutide (0.5 or 1.0 mg weekly). Similarly, the FLOW trial showed a 24% reduction in major kidney disease events (HR 0.76; 95% CI: 0.66-0.88; p = 0.002) with weekly 1.0 mg sem

Recombinant Oncolytic Viruses: Hexagonal Warriors in the Field of Solid Tumor Immunotherapy.

In the past decade, research on recombinant oncolytic viral agents in the treatment of solid tumors has evolved from the initial stage of simple genetic engineering to the current stage of multiple pipelines of parallel clinical application and combination therapy. Compared with T-VEC, the classical therapeutic agent that only expresses GM-CSF, which was approved in 2015, most new oncolytic virus designs include diverse gene constructs to reduce toxic effects, enhance multiple antitumor immunity, avoid immune clearance, or enhance tumor targeting. The single route of administration that activa

XRK3F2 Inhibition of p62-ZZ Domain Signaling Rescues Myeloma-Induced GFI1-Driven Epigenetic Repression of the Runx2 Gene in Pre-osteoblasts to Overcome Differentiation Suppression.

Multiple myeloma bone disease (MMBD) is characterized by non-healing lytic bone lesions that persist even after a patient has achieved a hematologic remission. We previously reported that p62 (sequestosome-1) in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) is critical for the formation of MM-induced signaling complexes that mediate OB suppression. Importantly, XRK3F2, an inhibitor of the p62-ZZ domain, blunted MM-induced Runx2 suppression in vitro, and induced new bone formation and remodeling in the presence of tumor in vivo. Additionally, we reported that MM cells induce the formation of repressive chro

Fructosamine-3-Kinase as a Potential Treatment Option for Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in the developed world. Since advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of AMD through various lines of evidence, we investigated the potential of fructosamine-3-kinase (FN3K) in the disruption of retinal AGEs, drusenoid material and drusenoid lesions in patients with AMD. AGE-type autofluorescence was measured to evaluate the effects of FN3K on glycolaldehyde-induced AGE-modified neural porcine retinas and unmodified human neural retinas. Eye pairs from cigarette-smoke- and air-exposed mice were

Research progress on tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy for cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor in women, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major cause of cervical cancer. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are a heterogeneous group of lymphocytes primarily composed of T lymphocytes found within the tumor parenchyma and stroma. These cells can be isolated from tumor tissue, activated, expanded in vitro, and reinfused into the patient to exert an anti-tumor immune effect. As a form of personalized immunotherapy, TILs therapy has shown satisfactory efficacy and safety in advanced recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer, offering n

Dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolism in pain.

Pain is a clinical condition that is currently of great concern and is often caused by tissue or nerve damage or occurs as a concomitant symptom of a variety of diseases such as cancer. Severe pain seriously affects the functional status of the body. However, existing pain management programs are not fully satisfactory. Therefore, there is a need to delve deeper into the pathological mechanisms underlying pain generation and to find new targets for drug therapy. Sphingolipids (SLs), as a major component of the bilayer structure of eukaryotic cell membranes, also have powerful signal transducti

How to Treat Melanoma? The Current Status of Innovative Nanotechnological Strategies and the Role of Minimally Invasive Approaches like PTT and PDT.

Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer, the incidence and mortality of which are increasing worldwide. Its extensive degree of heterogeneity has limited its response to existing therapies. For many years the therapeutic strategies were limited to surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Fortunately, advances in knowledge have allowed the development of new therapeutic strategies. Despite the undoubted progress, alternative therapies are still under research. In this context, nanotechnology is also positioned as a strong and promising tool to develop nanosystems that act as drug ca

TSP-1 interaction with RANK and OPG: implications for bone remodeling and osteolytic bone metastasis.

Excessive bone disruption, driven by upregulation of bone-degrading osteoclasts, occurs in several pathologies, including breast cancer osteolytic bone metastasis, a condition associated with poor prognosis and diminished quality of life for patients. The matricellular protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) plays pleiotropic roles in physiological and pathological remodeling of several tissues, including bone, and in shaping the microenvironment of primary tumors and metastasis. This study aimed to explore the role of TSP-1 in bone remodeling associated with osteolytic bone metastasis. We have ident

Drug repurposing for breast cancer therapy: Old weapon for new battle.

Despite tremendous resources being invested in prevention and treatment, breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer deaths in women globally. The available treatment modalities are very costly and produces severe side effects. Drug repurposing that relate to new uses for old drugs has emerged as a novel approach for drug development. Repositioning of old, clinically approved, off patent non-cancer drugs with known targets, into newer indication is like using old weapons for new battle. The advances in genomics, proteomics and information computational biology has facilitated the process o

Radiofrequency Ablation in Vertebral Body Metastasis with and without Percutaneous Cement Augmentation: A Systematic Review Addressing the Need for SPINE Stability Evaluation.

Vertebral body metastases (VBM) are one of the most frequent sites of bone metastasis, and their adequate therapeutic management still represents an insidious challenge for both oncologists and surgeons. A possible alternative treatment for VBM is radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a percutaneous technique in which an alternating current is delivered to the tumor lesion producing local heating and consequent necrosis. However, RFA alone could alter the biomechanics and microanatomy of the vertebral body, thus increasing the risk of post-procedure vertebral fractures and spine instability, and inde

Porphyromonas gingivalis усугубляет экспериментальный аутоиммунный энцефаломиэлит, проводя дифференциацию TH1 с помощью сигнала ZAP70/NF-IB.

Множественный склероз (MS) характеризуется хроническим воспалением и обезвоживанием в центральной нервной системе (CNS), главным образом в результате ненормальной активации периферической иммунной системы, в частности клеток TH1. Как основной патоген в периодонтрите, Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) связан с повышенным риском множественных склерозных прогрессий; однако его роль в центральной нервной системе воспаления остается неясной. В этом исследовании мы стремились определить, поощряет ли P. gingivalis периферическую дифференциацию клеток TH1 по сигнальному маршруту ZAP70/NF-InB, т

Pathophysiology and treatment of osteoporosis: challenges for clinical practice in older people.

Osteoporosis, a common chronic metabolic bone disease is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. As the prevalence of osteoporosis increases with age, a paralleled elevation in the rate of incident fragility fractures will be observed. This narrative review explores the origins of bone and considers physiological mechanisms involved in bone homeostasis relevant to management and treatment. Secondary causes of osteoporosis, as well as osteosarcopenia are discussed followed by an overview of the commonly used pharmacological treatments for osteoporosis in older people.

Innovations in cancer treatment as novel potential and the myth of personalized vaccines, immunotherapy, CRISPR/Cas9, and bacteriotherapy as promising therapeutic strategies.

Recent advancements in cancer treatment, including targeted therapy, tailored vaccines, immunotherapy, and bacteriotherapy, have demonstrated remarkable potential in addressing various types of cancer. However, the pursuit of novel therapeutic strategies remains challenged by significant obstacles, including toxicity to healthy tissues, limited penetration into malignant tissues, and the potential for tumor cell resistance to pharmacological agents. This study explored the potential of tailored vaccinations, immunotherapy, CRISPR/Cas9, and bacteriotherapy for cancer treatment. Randomized and n

Targeting Amyloid Fibrils by Passive Immunotherapy in Systemic Amyloidosis.

Systemic amyloidoses are characterized by the unrelenting deposition of autologous proteins as highly ordered fibrils in target organs. The ensuing, potentially fatal organ dysfunction is the result of the combined damage caused by the proteotoxic effect of prefibrillar species and by the cytotoxicity and the structural alterations produced by the amyloid fibrils. Current therapy is focused on eliminating the amyloid protein, thus extinguishing the amyloid cascade at its origin. While this approach may end the cell damage caused by prefibrillar aggregates and prevent further amyloid accumulati

Evaluation of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a bio-carrier for ampicillin/sulbactam.

OBJECTIVES: Mechanisms of wound healing are often impaired in patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). According to the guidelines for the treatment of this disease, early surgical intervention is indicated. However, surgery often faces complications such as wound healing disorders. The application of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) after necrosectomy between bone and mucosa may constitute a promising approach to improve surgical results. An aspect that was not investigated until now is that PRF acts as a "bio-carrier" for antibiotics previously applied intravenously. MATERIALS AND METHODS: W
