Targeting aberrant DNA methylation in mesenchymal stromal cells as a treatment for myeloma bone disease.

Multiple myeloma (MM) progression and myeloma-associated bone disease (MBD) are highly dependent on bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). MM-MSCs exhibit abnormal transcriptomes, suggesting the involvement of epigenetic mechanisms governing their tumor-promoting functions and prolonged osteoblast suppression. Here, we identify widespread DNA methylation alterations of bone marrow-isolated MSCs from distinct MM stages, particularly in Homeobox genes involved in osteogenic differentiation that associate with their aberrant expression. Moreover, these DNA methylation changes are recapitul

Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Cancer Survivors: A Meta-Synthesis of Qualitative Research.

Qualitative research on the impact of physical activity on quality of life (QoL) in adults diagnosed with cancer is accumulating. However, the field of physical activity and cancer survivorship lack a synthesis of this research to reliably understand the implications for future research and practice. The aim of this meta-synthesis was to identify, appraise, and synthesize qualitative research on cancer survivors' perspectives of the impact of physical activity on their QoL. Seven electronic databases were searched for original studies published in English, and reference lists of relevant studi

Clinical, social, and psycho-oncological needs of adolescents and young adults (AYA) versus older patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

PurposeTo analyze demand for information and advice as well as medical, psychological, and social needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and older patients (non-AYA) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).MethodsA questionnaire was sent to 100 HSCT recipients comprising n = 50 AYAs (aged 19-39 years) and n = 50 non-AYAs (> 39 years). The questionnaire covered the categories: (a) patient characteristics; (b) need for advice, on medical, psychological, and social care topics; (c) medical, psychological, and social needs, and (d) preferred forms and channels of information.Res

First-Line treatment for transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a Bayesian network meta-analysis of efficacy, safety, and high-risk subgroups.

Anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody-based regimens have emerged as the first-line standard of care for transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), yet direct head-to-head comparisons between individual regimens remain limited. The systematic review identified 11 eligible randomised controlled trials; 6 of these, involving 3162 patients, entered the Bayesian network meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the efficacy, safety, and benefits in the cytogenetically high-risk subgroup across 7 treatment nodes, keeping the dexamethasone-sparing IFM2017-03 schedule (D-R-limited dexameth

Current Status and Perspectives of Protease Inhibitors and Their Combination with Nanosized Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Cancer Therapy.

In cancer treatments, many natural and synthetic products have been examined; among them, protease inhibitors are promising candidates for anti-cancer agents. Since dysregulated proteolytic activities can contribute to tumor development and metastasis, antagonization of proteases with tailored inhibitors is an encouraging approach. Although adverse effects of early designs of these inhibitors disappeared after the introduction of next-generation agents, most of the proposed inhibitors did not pass the early stages of clinical trials due to their nonspecific toxicity and lack of pharmacological

Cancer health disparities in racial/ethnic minorities in the United States.

There are well-established disparities in cancer incidence and outcomes by race/ethnicity that result from the interplay between structural, socioeconomic, socio-environmental, behavioural and biological factors. However, large research studies designed to investigate factors contributing to cancer aetiology and progression have mainly focused on populations of European origin. The limitations in clinicopathological and genetic data, as well as the reduced availability of biospecimens from diverse populations, contribute to the knowledge gap and have the potential to widen cancer health dispar

Epigenome-wide association study of depression symptomatology in elderly monozygotic twins.

Depression is a severe and debilitating mental disorder diagnosed by evaluation of affective, cognitive and physical depression symptoms. Severity of these symptoms strongly impacts individual's quality of life and is influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. One of the molecular mechanisms allowing for an interplay between these factors is DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification playing a pivotal role in regulation of brain functioning across lifespan. The aim of this study was to investigate if there are DNA methylation signatures associated with depression sympto

Overcoming Drug Resistance in Advanced Prostate Cancer by Drug Repurposing.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men. Common treatments include active surveillance, surgery, or radiation. Androgen deprivation therapy and chemotherapy are usually reserved for advanced disease or biochemical recurrence, such as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), but they are not considered curative because PCa cells eventually develop drug resistance. The latter is achieved through various cellular mechanisms that ultimately circumvent the pharmaceutical's mode of action. The need for novel therapeutic approaches is necessary under these circumstances. An

Implementing calculated globulin screening for immunodeficiencies: The benefits and challenges.

There is a need for pragmatic and cost-effective methodologies to facilitate earlier diagnosis of patients with primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, who often experience diagnostic delays that impact their quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. This review article will consider the utility of calculated globulin (CG) as a simple and unbiased screening tool for immunodeficiencies. We review literature indicating that CG can serve as an inexpensive and routinely performed proxy for immunoglobulin levels due to their established correlation. We also set out a workflow for the implementat

Univariate and multivariate linear regression were performed to investigate th

A life span perspective on competencies for a healthy, physically active lifestyle: Findings of a data pooling initiative with over 7000 individuals.

Individuals are recommended to lead active lifestyles throughout the life course. The model of physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) adopts a competence approach by integrating physical, cognitive, and motivational determinants for health-enhancing PA (movement competence, control competence, self-regulation competence). Drawing on a comprehensive dataset pooling, the goal of the present study was to model the idiosyncratic courses of 10 PAHCO indicators over the life span. We identified studies that empirically operationalized PAHCO, combining data of 7134 individuals (age range

The Role of Inflammation in Tinnitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Subjective tinnitus is the perception of sound without the presence of an external source. Increasing evidence suggests that tinnitus is associated with inflammation. In this systematic review, the role of inflammation in subjective tinnitus was studied. Nine animal and twenty human studies reporting inflammatory markers in both humans and animals with tinnitus were included. It was established that TNF-α and IL-1β are increased in tinnitus, and that microglia and astrocytes are activated as well. Moreover, platelet activation may also play a role in tinnitus. In addition, we elaborate on mech

Mediterranean Diet Food Components as Possible Adjuvant Therapies to Counteract Breast and Prostate Cancer Progression to Bone Metastasis.

Bone metastasis is a serious and often lethal complication of particularly frequent carcinomas, such as breast and prostate cancers, which not only reduces survival but also worsens the patients' quality of life. Therefore, it is important to find new and/or additional therapeutic possibilities that can counteract the colonization of bone tissue. High adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) is effective in the prevention of cancer and improves cancer patients' health, thus, here, we considered its impact on bone metastasis. We highlighted some molecular events relevant for the development of

Протекционный субъект PSMD1 является ключевой терапевтической целью в множестве миеломы.

Мы пришли к выводу, что PSMD1 - ключевой субъект протеиновой регуляционной частицы 19S - был чрезмерно экспрессирован и коррелировал с плохим прогнозом в множестве миеломы (ММ). Генетическое истощение PSMD1 снизило жизнеспособность раковых клеток, вызвало поликутилизированное накопление белка и способствовало апоптозу. Протеомический анализ показал активацию иммунных путей, что свидетельствует о потенциале иммунной модуляции. Нацеливание PSMD1 на незначительную поражающую РНК (SIRNA), доставляемую через липидные наночастицы (LNPs), уменьшило рост опухоли в линиях клеток MM и первичных проб пац

Clinical and Genomic Epidemiology of Carbapenem-Nonsusceptible Citrobacter spp. at a Tertiary Health Care Center over 2 Decades.

Carbapenem-nonsusceptible Citrobacter spp. (CNSC) are increasingly recognized as health care-associated pathogens. Information regarding their clinical epidemiology, genetic diversity, and mechanisms of carbapenem resistance is lacking. We examined microbiology records of adult patients at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UMPC) Presbyterian Hospital (PUH) from 2000 to 2018 for CNSC, as defined by ertapenem nonsusceptibility. Over this time frame, the proportion of CNSC increased from 4% to 10% (P = 0.03), as did daily defined carbapenem doses/1,000 patient days (6.52 to 34.5; R2 =

Конвергенция глобальных эпидемий: диабет как модулятор нейродегенеративных и нейро-воспалительных расстройств.

Диабет меллитус (ДМ) и неврологические расстройства быстро совпадают с глобальным бременем на здоровье, обусловленным старением населения, растущей распространенностью метаболического синдрома, а также ограниченностью возможностей раннего обнаружения и коррекции заболеваний для многих неврологических синдромов. Помимо своей устоявшейся роли в периферической нейропатии, связанной с диабетом, DM все чаще используется в качестве изменяющего фактора риска, фенотипа и прогнозирования широкого спектра заболеваний центральной и периферической нервной системы. В ходе этого обзора мы обобщаем текущие э

Романтические отношения, сексуальность и близость между молодыми людьми и подростками с тяжелыми психическими заболеваниями: обзор литературы.

СПРАВОЧНАЯ ИНФОРМАЦИЯ: Лица с тяжелыми психическими заболеваниями (СМИ), включая шизофрение и психотические расстройства, часто сталкиваются с серьезными проблемами в развитии и поддержании романтических и интимных отношений. Несмотря на сильное стремление к общению и сексуальному выражению, эти люди часто сталкиваются с такими препятствиями, как общественное осуждение, когнитивные проблемы и психические симптомы, влияющие на социальное функционирование. В рамках существующих исследований основное внимание уделяется прежде всего общей социальной вовлеченности, а не специфическим сложностям ром

Что важнее всего для людей, живущих с эпилепсией? Быстрое рассмотрение качественных исследований, касающихся результатов в области здравоохранения.

В настоящее время результаты, измеряемые и сообщаемые в ходе клинических испытаний для взрослых с эпилепсией, являются разнородными и зачастую не отбирались в консультации с лицами, живущими с эпилепсией. В рамках более широкого проекта по разработке базового набора результатов клинических испытаний для взрослых с эпилепсией (проект ЭПСЕТ) был проведен быстрый обзор опубликованной качественной литературы. В целях выявления исследований, в которых обсуждаются мнения взрослых с эпилепсией и их представителей, был проведен поиск с использованием установленного качественного методологического филь
