Involvement of the Opioid Peptide Family in Cancer Progression.

Peptides mediate cancer progression favoring the mitogenesis, migration, and invasion of tumor cells, promoting metastasis and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, and facilitating angiogenesis/lymphangiogenesis. Tumor cells overexpress peptide receptors, crucial targets for developing specific treatments against cancer cells using peptide receptor antagonists and promoting apoptosis in tumor cells. Opioids exert an antitumoral effect, whereas others promote tumor growth and metastasis. This review updates the findings regarding the involvement of opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins

Доклад о деле: Редкие неблагоприятные явления после лечения CAR-T у пациентов с рецидивной/нереактивной диффузной большой лимфомой B-клеток.

Химерическая антигенная рецепторная терапия T-клетка (CAR-T) представляет собой значительное изменение в лечении раковых заболеваний, которое используется для лечения заболеваний B-клеток, включая B-клеточные лимфоболические лейкемии, рецидивные и рефрактные лимфомы и множественные миеломы. CAR-T требует сбора Т-клеток от пациента, который генетически разработан для выражения синтетического рецептора, связывающего его с антигеном конкретной опухоли. Клетки CAR-T затем вводятся обратно в пациента, который работает, чтобы атаковать стойкие раковые клетки. Побочные эффекты CAR-T включают синдром

Mesenchymal stem cells: A new therapeutic tool for chronic kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a major impact on public health, which could progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) and consume many medical resources. Currently, the treatment for CKD has many flaws, so more effective treatment tools are urgently required for CKD. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are primitive cells with self-renewal and proliferation capacity and differentiation potential. Extensive preclinical and clinical data has shown that cell-based therapies using MSCs can modulate immunity, inhibit inflammatory factors, and improve renal function in CKD, suggesting that MSCs have t

Отологические проявления временных нарушений.

Фон/цели: Временное расстройство (ТМО) затрагивает треть взрослого населения и связано с отологическими симптомами. Эти симптомы часто недооцениваются первичными отологическими заболеваниями, что приводит к задержкам в диагностике и лечении. Цель этого обзора состоит в обобщении сообщаемых данных о распространенности, предлагаемых патофизиологических механизмов и стратегий управления отологическими проявлениями у пациентов с ТМР.

Patient with AL amyloidosis with recurrent syncope as the first symptom: case report and literature review.

BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare systemic disease caused by the extracellular deposition of misfolded light chains. Nonspecific manifestations, especially those dominated by severe autonomic neuropathy, frequently delay diagnosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 68-year-old woman was admitted after five months of recurrent syncope. The clinical picture was dominated by refractory orthostatic hypotension, nausea and vomiting alternating with diarrhea and constipation, stocking-glove paresthesias, and proteinuria. Bone marrow examination showed the presence of clonal pla

Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) for cancer screening in asymptomatic subjects of the general population: review and recommendations.

BackgroundThe number of studies describing the use of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) for screening of malignant tumours in asymptomatic subjects is increasing. Our aim is to review the methodologies used and the results of the published studies on per patient and per lesion analysis, and to provide recommendations on the use of WB-MRI for cancer screening.Main bodyWe identified 12 studies, encompassing 6214 WB-MRI examinations, which provided the rates of abnormal findings and findings suspicious for cancer in asymptomatic subjects, from the general population. Eleven of 12 stu

Unveiling the Unexpected: A Case of Synergistic Drug Reaction to Cannabidiol.

The widespread use of cannabis derived products has raised concerns with regard to their side effect profile, particularly hepatotoxicity. This case centers around a 45-year-old female patient receiving therapeutic cannabis oil, who demonstrated an acute surge in hepatic transaminases after excluding common etiologies, such as paracetamol and recent flucloxacillin, as both are hepatotoxic. A subsequent improvement in hepatic parameters following discontinuation reinforces the potential for an existing association between cannabis oil and liver injury. Furthermore, this case highlights the need

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

Availability of secondary healthcare data for conducting pharmacoepidemiology studies in Colombia: A systematic review.

Real-world evidence (RWE) is emerging as a fundamental component of the post-marketing evaluation of medicinal products. Even though the focus on RWE studies has increased in Colombia, the availability of secondary data sources to perform this type of research is not well documented. Thus, we aimed at identifying and characterizing secondary data sources available in Colombia. We performed a systematic literature review on PubMed, EMBASE, and VHL using a combination of controlled vocabulary and keywords for the concepts of electronic health records, epidemiologic studies and Colombia. A total

Hyperammonemia: An Unusual Cause of Encephalopathy in Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of plasma cells that commonly presents with kidney dysfunction, hypercalcemia, bone pain, and anemia. Although many patients exhibit these symptoms, other, less obvious presentations can complicate the prognosis. In this case report, we describe a 65-year-old African American female with known IgG Kappa MM, who initially presented with back pain - a common symptom associated with bone involvement in MM. However, during her hospital stay, she developed a profoundly altered mental status, which was later linked to elevated ammonia levels. Hyperammonemia is a

Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies of a mixture of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) (Cas No. 1746-01-6), 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (PeCDF) (Cas No. 57117-31-4), and 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126) (Cas No. 57465-28-8) in female Harlan Sprague-Dawley rats (gavage studies).

DIOXIN TOXIC EQUIVALENCY FACTOR EVALUATION OVERVIEW: Polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) have the ability to bind to and activate the ligand-activated transcription factor, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Structurally related compounds that bind to the AhR and exhibit biological actions similar to TCDD are commonly referred to as "dioxin-like compounds" (DLCs). Ambient human exposure to DLCs occurs through the ingestion of foods containing residues of DLCs that bioconcentrate through the food chain. Due to their lipophilicity and persis

Diagnostic challenges of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis with aberrant M-protein expression: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), a severe autoinflammatory subtype of JIA, presents diagnostic challenges due to non-specific clinical features and the absence of definitive biomarkers. Current ILAR classification criteria emphasize exclusion of mimicking conditions, yet misdiagnosis rates persist (20%-35%), particularly in early disease stages. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old female presented with persistent high-grade fever, anemia (Hb: 84→64→73→91 g/L), thrombocytosis (PLT 592→1,044 × 10⁹/L), and iron overload. Initial evaluations excluded infections (CMV-positive
