Amyloidosis is a rare but severe complication with pulmonary involvement being exceptional. Objective: The aim of this study was to review reported cases of amyloidosis complicating CVID and present a unique case of pulmonary involvement. Methods: A literature research identified observational studies and case reports linking amyloidosis with CVID. Additionally, we describe a patient with

Гипоксия в множестве склерозов.

Низкая доступность кислорода (гипоксии) является заметной, но плохо понимаемой особенностью множественного склероза (МС). Неизвестно, вызывает ли гипоксия патологию и симптомы MS или она является следствием других патологических явлений, таких, как воспаление и сосудистая дисфункция. Здесь мы резюмируем имеющуюся литературу о взаимосвязи между гипоксией и как патологическими, так и симптомными характеристиками MS. Острая экологическая гипоксия (т.е. высота) может вызвать или облегчить события, связанные с MS, возможно, путем усиления гипоксии тканей в центральной нервной системе. Соответственн

Additionally, miR-135b is regulated by various oncogenes and therapeutic drugs, highlighting its complexity and therapeutic potential. Significant progress has been made in understanding miR-135b's impact on cancer cell behavior, establishing it as a promising b

Metabolism-related ALDH1B1 acts as potential predictor and therapeutic target for primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PGI-DLBCL) is the most common extra-nodal DLBCL. Metabolism-related factors have been associated with tumor progression, but the relationship between abnormal metabolism and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL remains unelucidated. In our study, consensus clustering based on metabolism-related genes classified PGI-DLBCL patients into two metabolic subtypes, and poor prognosis was associated with immunosuppressive microenvironment. A prognostic signature based on five metabolism-related genes (APOE, ALDH6 A1, PLOD2, IKBKB and ALDH1B1) was developed. Pa

Advances in the understanding and therapeutic manipulation of cancer immune responsiveness: a Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) review.

Cancer immunotherapy-including immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) and adoptive cell therapy (ACT)-has become a standard, potentially curative treatment for a subset of advanced solid and liquid tumors. However, most patients with cancer do not benefit from the rapidly evolving improvements in the understanding of principal mechanisms determining cancer immune responsiveness (CIR); including patient-specific genetically determined and acquired factors, as well as intrinsic cancer cell biology. Though CIR is multifactorial, fundamental concepts are emerging that should be considered for the desi

Metronomic Chemotherapy: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Clinical Experience.

Metronomic chemotherapy, continuous and dose-dense administration of chemotherapeutic drugs with lowered doses, is being evaluated for substituting, augmenting, or appending conventional maximum tolerated dose regimens, with preclinical and clinical studies for the past few decades. To date, the principle mechanisms of its action include impeding tumoral angiogenesis and modulation of hosts' immune system, affecting directly tumor cells, their progenitors, and neighboring stromal cells. Its better toxicity profile, lower cost, and easier use are main advantages over conventional therapies. The

Trial watch: Oncolytic viruses for cancer therapy.

Oncolytic virotherapy is emerging as a promising approach for the treatment of several neoplasms. The term "oncolytic viruses" is generally employed to indicate naturally occurring or genetically engineered attenuated viral particles that cause the demise of malignant cells while sparing their non-transformed counterparts. From a conceptual standpoint, oncolytic viruses differ from so-called "oncotropic viruses" in that only the former are able to kill cancer cells, even though both display a preferential tropism for malignant tissues. Of note, such a specificity can originate at several diffe

PI3K/AKT сигнализирующий путь: молекулярный перекресток в опухоли и терапевтические инновации.

PI3K/AKT сигнализирующий путь служит центральным регулирующим узлом, регулирующим основные клеточные процессы, включая рост, распространение, метаболизм, выживание и миграцию. В контексте развития опухоли и рака аберральная активация этого пути приводит к злокачественным преобразованиям, усиливает инвазивный и метастатический потенциал и оказывает сопротивление терапевтическому вмешательству, что в конечном счете приводит к прогрессированию опухоли и более низким клиническим результатам. В этом исследовании всесторонне изучается ИП3К/АКТ, сигнализирующий о его причастности к различным человече

A systems-pharmacology analysis of herbal medicines used in health improvement treatment: predicting potential new drugs and targets.

For thousands of years, tonic herbs have been successfully used all around the world to improve health, energy, and vitality. However, their underlying mechanisms of action in molecular/systems levels are still a mystery. In this work, two sets of tonic herbs, so called Qi-enriching herbs (QEH) and Blood-tonifying herbs (BTH) in TCM, were selected to elucidate why they can restore proper balance and harmony inside body, organ and energy system. Firstly, a pattern recognition model based on artificial neural network and discriminant analysis for assessing the molecular difference between QEH an

Bone sialoprotein: a multifunctional regulator of bone remodelling and tumour progression.

Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a major non-collagenous protein of the bone extracellular matrix and an important regulator of bone formation and resorption. BSP is produced by bone cells and chondrocytes and present in the bone matrix, cells, dentin and cartilage. However, its aberrant expression in primary tumour tissues and the sera of cancer patients with metastases implicates BSP in tumour biology and progression. The Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif of BSP may be crucial not only for the attachment of metastasising cells to the bone surface but also for tumour growth, survival and activity. This revie

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis and Pregnancy-Do We Have All the Answers for a Woman Who Desires to Conceive?-Literature Review.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, progressive, and poor-prognosis systemic disorder that primarily affects women of reproductive age, with a higher prevalence among individuals of Caucasian origin. However, there are limited reliable data on the prevalence of LAM during pregnancy. The fulminant respiratory clinical presentation that often includes progressive dyspnea on exertion, cough, or hemoptysis, frequently complicated by pneumothorax, and the increased risk of spontaneous abortion due to increased estrogen and progesterone production during gestation, are arguments that most ofte

Role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and its ligands in the treatment of hematological malignancies.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a multifunctional transcription factor with important regulatory roles in inflammation, cellular growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. PPARgamma is expressed in a variety of immune cells as well as in numerous leukemias and lymphomas. Here, we review recent studies that provide new insights into the mechanisms by which PPARgamma ligands influence hematological malignant cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Understanding the diverse properties of PPARgamma ligands is crucial for the development of new therapeutic approache

The utility of stereotactic biopsy of intracranial lesions in the diagnosis of leukemia complicated by central nervous system lesions.

BACKGROUND: Leukemia complicated by central nervous system (CNS) lesions (LCNSL) includes leukemia involving the CNS (CNSL) and CNS secondary lesions related to leukemia treatment (e.g., CNS infections, leukoencephalopathy, inflammatory demyelination, and vascular diseases). The clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of different types of LCL are similar, increasing the possibility of misdiagnosis. This study aimed to enhance our understanding and management of LCL. METHODS: We retrospectively collected clinical data from 22 patients with LCL and analyzed their magnetic resonance

The Crystalline Nephropathies.

Crystalline nephropathies are a unique form of kidney disease characterized by the histologic finding of intrarenal crystal deposition. The intrinsic nature of some molecules and ions combined with a favorable tubular fluid physiology leads to crystal precipitation and deposition within the tubular lumens. Crystal deposition promotes kidney injury through tubular obstruction and both direct and indirect cytotoxicities. Further kidney injury develops from inflammation triggered by these crystals. From a clinical standpoint, the crystalline nephropathies are associated with abnormal urinalysis a
