Использование микробиомных средств для совершенствования методов лечения нейродегенеративных заболеваний: данные о воздействии вдоль оси микробиота-гут-мозгов.

Недавно в качестве полезной модели для понимания возникновения и развития нейродегенеративных заболеваний (НДД) появилась ось микробиота-гут-мозгов (МГБА). Меры воздействия на основе микробиома с использованием биотических добавок (пробиотики, предбиотики, синдиотики, постбиотики) могут модифицировать MGBA и служить подходящими решениями для снижения риска неврологических изменений, связанных с НИЗ, и регулирования симптомов. В настоящем описательном обзоре содержится резюме функционирования МГБС и его взаимодействия с заболеваниями, связанными с началом и развитием НИЗ. Проводится обзор мероп

Resistance to Antiangiogenic Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Impact.

Antiangiogenic drugs were the only mainstay of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment from 2007 to 2017. However, primary or secondary resistance hampered their efficacy. Primary resistance could be due to different molecular and/or genetic characteristics of HCC and their knowledge would clarify the optimal treatment approach in each patient. Several molecular mechanisms responsible for secondary resistance have been discovered over the last few years; they represent potential targets for new specific drugs. In this light, the advent of checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has been a new o

Oxidized Lipids in Persistent Pain States.

Chemotherapy, nerve injuries, or diseases like multiple sclerosis can cause pathophysiological processes of persistent and neuropathic pain. Thereby, the activation threshold of ion channels is reduced in peripheral sensory neurons to normally noxious stimuli like heat, cold, acid, or mechanical due to sensitization processes. This leads to enhanced neuronal activity, which can result in mechanical allodynia, cold allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia, spontaneous pain, and may initiate persistent and neuropathic pain. The treatment options for persistent and neuropathic pain patients are limited; f

Paclitaxel causes degeneration of both central and peripheral axon branches of dorsal root ganglia in mice.

BackgroundPeripheral neuropathy is a common and dose-limiting side effect of many cancer chemotherapies. The taxane agents, including paclitaxel (Taxol(®)), are effective chemotherapeutic drugs but cause degeneration of predominantly large myelinated afferent sensory fibers of the peripheral nervous system in humans and animal models. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons are sensory neurons that have unipolar axons each with two branches: peripheral and central. While taxane agents induce degeneration of peripheral axons, whether they also cause degeneration of central nervous system axons is not

Treating Lows: Management of Orthostatic Hypotension.

AbstractOrthostatic hypotension is a prevalent clinical condition, caused by heterogenous etiologies and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Management is particularly challenging in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. A thorough assessment is needed to draw an appropriate management plan. The treatment aims to improve postural symptoms while minimizing side effects and reducing iatrogenic exacerbation of supine hypertension. A personalized management plan including rationalizing medications, patient education, identification, and avoidance of triggers, as well as nonphar

Platinum-induced ototoxicity and hearing impairment in children and adolescents.

Platinum compounds play a crucial role in the treatment of solid tumours in paediatric patients, significantly improving survival rates. However, these treatments can result in hearing loss as a side-effect that can significantly impact the quality of life of young cancer survivors. Whilst the therapeutic benefits of platinum compounds in paediatric oncology are indisputable, addressing the challenge of ototoxicity remains a priority. Early and regular auditory function assessments, with tools such as audiometry, otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem response testing, are critical durin

Progress and research trends in neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury bibliometric analysis based on web of science database: An observational study.

Neurogenic bladder (NB) is a significant complication that often occurs after spinal cord injury. It results from urinary dysfunction caused by the injury, disrupting the normal neural control of the bladder and urethra. Symptoms of NB can include urinary frequency, urgency, incontinence, and retention, all of which can greatly impact the quality of life of affected individuals. While there are articles and reviews on NB, fewer specifically address NB following spinal cord injury. This study examined 1095 publications from January 1, 2000, to March 27, 2024, in the Web of Science core database

Oral mucosal injury caused by mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors: emerging perspectives on pathobiology and impact on clinical practice.

In recent years oral mucosal injury has been increasingly recognized as an important toxicity associated with mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, including in patients with breast cancer who are receiving everolimus. This review addresses the state-of-the-science regarding mTOR inhibitor-associated stomatitis (mIAS), and delineates its clinical characteristics and management. Given the clinically impactful pain associated with mIAS, this review also specifically highlights new research focusing on the study of the molecular basis of pain. The incidence of mIAS varies widely (2-78%

Purinergic Signalling: Therapeutic Developments.

Purinergic signalling, i.e., the role of nucleotides as extracellular signalling molecules, was proposed in 1972. However, this concept was not well accepted until the early 1990's when receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines were cloned and characterised, which includes four subtypes of the P1 (adenosine) receptor, seven subtypes of P2X ion channel receptors and 8 subtypes of the P2Y G protein-coupled receptor. Early studies were largely concerned with the physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry of purinergic signalling. More recently, the focus has been on the pathophysiology and the

Background and Clinical Significance: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine cutaneous malignancy with increasing incidence among elderly, immunocompromised patients or individuals exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Case Presentation: We present the case of an 84-year-old Caucasian male with no history of immunosuppression, who was admitted for asthenia, dysphagia, weight loss, and generalized weakness. Clinical and imaging investigations revealed a violaceous tumor on the right arm and disseminated metastases affecting the liver, spleen, bones and lymph nodes. A liver

The Neuro-Bone Axis in Metastatic Progression: Innervation, Neuro-Immune-Osteoclast Crosstalk, and Therapeutic Opportunities.

Bone metastases represent a major cause of morbidity in advanced cancers, yet the neural regulation of metastatic growth within bone remains largely unexplored. The skeletal system is richly innervated by sensory and sympathetic nerve fibers that influence bone remodeling, hematopoiesis, and immune surveillance. Emerging evidence suggests that disseminated tumor cells exploit these neural circuits to create a growth-permissive microenvironment. Tumor-secreted neurotrophic factors can induce nerve sprouting, while sympathetic activation via β-adrenergic receptors promotes osteoclastogenesis, im

This report presents the case of a 52-year-old male with a history of right-sided lung cancer resection performed more than three years previously and confirmed bone metastasis for over two years. Following metastasis to the right ilium and acetabulum, the patient developed pain, numbness, gait disturbance, and impaired mobility in the ri

Роль фитохимикатов в борьбе с нейропотической болью: сколько успехов мы добились?

Нетрофическая боль — это сложное и изнурительное состояние, вызванное повреждением нерва, которое характеризуется такими ощущениями, как горение, покалывание и стрельба. Она часто связана с такими условиями, как множественный склероз (MS), синдром Гильен-Барре (GBS) и диабетическая полиномропата. Лечение обычной боли часто обеспечивает ограниченное облегчение и сопровождается существенными побочными эффектами, подчеркивая необходимость изучения альтернативных вариантов лечения. Фитохимические вещества, являющиеся биоактивными соединениями, полученными от растений, привлекли внимание к их потен

Painful boney metastases.

Boney metastasis may lead to terrible suffering from debilitating pain. The most likely malignancies that spread to bone are prostate, breast, and lung. Painful osseous metastases are typically associated with multiple episodes of breakthrough pain which may occur with activities of daily living, weight bearing, lifting, coughing, and sneezing. Almost half of these breakthrough pain episodes are rapid in onset and short in duration and 44% of episodes are unpredictable. Treatment strategies include: analgesic approaches with "triple opioid therapy", bisphosphonates, chemotherapeutic agents, ho

Neuropathic cancer pain: What we are dealing with? How to manage it?

Cancer pain is a serious health problem, and imposes a great burden on the lives of patients and their families. Pain can be associated with delay in treatment, denial of treatment, or failure of treatment. If the pain is not treated properly it may impair the quality of life. Neuropathic cancer pain (NCP) is one of the most complex phenomena among cancer pain syndromes. NCP may result from direct damage to nerves due to acute diagnostic/therapeutic interventions. Chronic NCP is the result of treatment complications or malignancy itself. Although the reason for pain is different in NCP and non

Melittin, a honeybee venom derived peptide for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most prevalent neurological complication of cancer treatment which involves sensory and motor nerve dysfunction. Severe CIPN has been reported in around 5% of patients treated with single and up to 38% of patients treated with multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Present medications available for CIPN are the use of opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and tricyclic antidepressants, which are only marginally effective in treating neuropathic symptoms. In reality, symptom reappears after these drugs are discontinued. The pathogene
