Cytokines in tear fluid of patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

PurposeTo investigate the profile of cytokines in tear fluid of patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) and determine their relation to the presence and manifestations of ocular graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).MethodsIn this cross sectional study tear fluid was collected in 34 consecutive adult patients that previously underwent allo-SCT (16 with ocular GvHD and 18 without) and 16 age- and gender-matched healthy controls using the Schirmer test under local anesthesia. Tear fluid was analyzed by multiplex immunoassay for the presence of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL

Musculoskeletal Organs-on-Chips: An Emerging Platform for Studying the Nanotechnology-Biology Interface.

Nanotechnology-based approaches are promising for the treatment of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, which present significant clinical burdens and challenges, but their clinical translation requires a deep understanding of the complex interplay between nanotechnology and MSK biology. Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) systems have emerged as an innovative and versatile microphysiological platform to replicate the dynamics of tissue microenvironment for studying nanotechnology-biology interactions. This review first covers recent advances and applications of MSK OoCs and their ability to mimic the biophysic

The role of belantamab mafodotin for patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma.

Belantamab mafodotin (belamaf) is a first-in-class anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that recently gained regulatory approval for the treatment of relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients who have received at least four prior therapies including an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb), a proteasome inhibitor (PI), and an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD). As the first BCMA-targeted therapy to be approved in multiple myeloma along with its "off-the-shelf" outpatient administration, belamaf addresses a significant unmet need in RRMM that is refracto

Radiation induced oral mucositis.

PATIENTS RECEIVING RADIOTHERAPY OR CHEMOTHERAPY WILL RECEIVE SOME DEGREE OF ORAL MUCOSITIS THE INCIDENCE OF ORAL MUCOSITIS WAS ESPECIALLY HIGH IN PATIENTS: (i) With primary tumors in the oral cavity, oropharynx, or nasopharynx; (ii) who also received concomitant chemotherapy; (iii) who received a total dose over 5,000 cGy; and (iv) who were treated with altered fractionation radiation schedules. Radiation-induced oral mucositis affects the quality of life of the patients and the family concerned. The present day management of oral mucositis is mostly palliative and or supportive care. The newe

Pathogenesis of Oral Toxicities Associated with Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy.

Targeted therapy and immunotherapy have redefined cancer treatment. While they have enhanced tumor response and improved survival rates in many cancer types, toxicities continue to occur, and these often involve the oral cavity. Broadly reported as "mucositis" or "stomatitis," oral toxicities induced by targeted therapies differ clinically and mechanistically from those associated with conventional chemotherapy. Manifesting primarily as mucosal lesions, salivary gland hypofunction, or orofacial neuropathies, these oral toxicities may nonetheless lead to significant morbidity and impact patient

Multidisciplinary supportive care in systemic light chain amyloidosis.

The immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis is a multisystemic disease which manifests by damage to the vital organs by light chain-derived amyloid fibril. Traditionally, the treatment has been directed to the underlying plasma cell clone with or without high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation using melphalan based conditioning. Now with the approval of highly tolerable anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab based anti-plasma cell therapy in 2021, high rates of hematologic complete responses are possible even in patients who are otherwise deemed not a candidat

NTP toxicology and carcinogenesis studies of decalin (CAS No. 91-17-8) in F344/N rats and B6C3F(1) mice and a toxicology study of decalin in male NBR rats (inhalation studies).

UNLABELLED: Decalin is used as an industrial solvent for naphthalene, fats, resins, oils, and waxes. It is also used as a substitute for turpentine in lacquers, paints, and varnishes; as a solvent and stabilizer for shoe polishes and floor waxes; and as a constituent of motor fuels and lubricants. Other applications include use as a paint thinner and remover, a patent fuel in stoves, a high-density fuel in submarine-launched cruise missile systems, and in stain removal and cleaning machinery. Decalin was nominated for study by the National Cancer Institute because of its chemical structure, it

Hyposalivation and salivary gland histopathology in graft-versus-host disease.

IntroductionA major long-term complication following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Oral chronic GVHD (cGVHD) is common and affects the mucosa with diagnostic lichenoid-like manifestations. Distinctive features such as hyposalivation and inflammatory histopathology of the salivary glands have been associated with both transplant regimen and GVHD. We retrospectively explored the association of hyposalivation and minor salivary gland (MSG) histopathology with the establishment and progression of GVHD.MethodsA total of 791 patient records

Belantamab mafodotin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in Japanese patients with RRMM in the phase 3 DREAMM-8 trial.

The phase 3 DREAMM-8 (NCT04484623) trial assessed belantamab mafodotin + pomalidomide + dexamethasone (BPd) vs bortezomib + Pd (PVd) in lenalidomide-exposed patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and ≥ 1 prior therapy. Here, we present findings from Japanese patients (data cutoff: 27-May-24). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), and safety. Overall, 21 patients were randomized 1:1 to BPd (N = 10) and PVd (N = 11). Median follow-up was 13.8 months (range 0.23-26.71). For

Corneal confocal microscopy differentiates patients with Parkinson's disease with and without autonomic involvement.

Autonomic dysregulation in Parkinson's disease (PD) can precede motor deficits and is associated with reduced quality of life, disease progression, and increased mortality. Objective markers of autonomic involvement in PD are limited. Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a rapid ophthalmic technique that can quantify small nerve damage in a range of peripheral and autonomic neuropathies. Here we investigated whether CCM can be used to assess autonomic symptoms in PD. Based on the scale for outcomes in Parkinson's disease for autonomic symptoms (SCOPA-AUT), patients with PD were classified into

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

Female sex as an independent prognostic factor in the development of oral mucositis during autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation.

Oral mucositis (OM) is a frequent complication of stem cell transplantation-associated toxicity in haematological malignancies, contributing to mortality. Therapy still remains mainly supportive.
