Short- and Long-Term Prognosis in Hemodynamically Stable Pulmonary Embolism With Unresectable or Metastatic Malignancies: The Role of Performance Status.

BackgroundThe simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) has limitations when evaluating acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with concurrent malignancy. Despite its utility in predicting outcomes among cancer patients, the role of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) in acute PE remains underexplored. This study aims to assess the prognostic significance of ECOG PS ≥ 3 on short- and long-term mortality in acute PE with malignancy, correlating it with the sPESI.Methods and resultsWe retrospectively analyzed 44 hemodynamically stable acute PE patien

Targeting HDACs with dacinostat amplifies radiation-induced DNA damage via sustained phosphorylated p53 and repair inhibition in aggressive meningioma.

The lack of standard systemic treatments in meningioma presents a therapeutic challenge, making radiotherapy a crucial intervention for recurrent, high-grade, or inoperable tumours. Nonetheless, the efficacy of radiotherapy is constrained by the inherent radioresistance of meningiomas, attributed to their proficient DNA damage repair and robust cell cycle checkpoint regulation. These biological barriers, along with anatomical constraints of avoiding damage to adjacent neural tissues, restrict dose escalation and therapeutic gains. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are mediators of radioresistance i

Inhibition of EIF2α Dephosphorylation Decreases Cell Viability and Synergizes with Standard-of-Care Chemotherapeutics in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Drug resistance is a common cause of therapy failure in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). One approach to tackling it is by targeting fundamental cellular processes, such as translation. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (EIF2α) is a key player in canonical translation initiation and integrates diverse stress signals; when phosphorylated, it curbs global protein synthesis. This study evaluates EIF2α expression and phosphorylation in HNSCC. A small-molecule inhibitor of EIF2α dephosphorylation, salubrinal, was tested in vitro, followed by viability assays, flow cytome

Bortezomib-induced gastrointestinal dysfunction, peripheral neuropathy and neuroimmune signalling are influenced by the gut microbiota in mice.

BACKGROUND: Peripheral neuropathy and gastrointestinal dysfunction are frequent, debilitating side effects of the neurotoxic myeloma drug bortezomib that reduce quality of life and adherence to optimal therapy. Therapeutic strategies to manage these complications are limited. Here, we have developed a mouse model of bortezomib side effects to investigate the role of the gut microbiota in their development. METHODS: C57BL/6 specific pathogen-free (SPF), germ-free (GF) and ex-GF mice (colonised with healthy gut microbiota via faecal microbiota transplantation [FMT]) were treated with bortezomib

Vitamin C-Sources, Physiological Role, Kinetics, Deficiency, Use, Toxicity, and Determination.

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) has been known as an antioxidant for most people. However, its physiological role is much larger and encompasses very different processes ranging from facilitation of iron absorption through involvement in hormones and carnitine synthesis for important roles in epigenetic processes. Contrarily, high doses act as a pro-oxidant than an anti-oxidant. This may also be the reason why plasma levels are meticulously regulated on the level of absorption and excretion in the kidney. Interestingly, most cells contain vitamin C in millimolar concentrations, which is much highe
