The emergence of new prognostic scores in lung cancer patients with spinal metastasis: A 12-year single-center retrospective study.

Objective: Lung cancer patients exhibit spinal metastases from a specific population, and with this study, we aimed to develop a model that can predict this particular group's survival. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from 83 lung cancer patients who underwent spinal metastasis surgery at our center from 2009 to 2021. After the initial assessment of treatment and scoring effects, a nomogram for survival prediction was created by identifying and integrating critical prognostic factors, followed by a consistency index (C-index) to measure consistency, and finally, a subject working

Functional magnetic resonance imaging in oncology: state of the art.

In the investigation of tumors with conventional magnetic resonance imaging, both quantitative characteristics, such as size, edema, necrosis, and presence of metastases, and qualitative characteristics, such as contrast enhancement degree, are taken into consideration. However, changes in cell metabolism and tissue physiology which precede morphological changes cannot be detected by the conventional technique. The development of new magnetic resonance imaging techniques has enabled the functional assessment of the structures in order to obtain information on the different physiological proces

Panktopenia в сочетании с химериковой антигенной рецепторной клеткой T (CAR-T) называется иммунной гематопоиетической токсичностью (ICAHT), которая часто устойчива и противодействует поддержке. Мы сообщаем о случае 52-year-old Человек с множественной миеломой, который развил серьёзный ИКАХТ с вторичным миэлофиброзом (SMF) после введения идекабатагена-виклеукаля, который был полностью усовершенствован за счет аутологического гематопоиетического усиления стволовых клеток. В данном случае основное внимание уделяется СМФ как редким, но осторожным осложнениям CAR-T-терапии, что подчеркивает важност

Experience with denosumab (XGEVA®) for prevention of skeletal-related events in the 10 years after approval.

Skeletal-related events (SREs) are complications of bone metastases and carry a significant patient and economic burden. Denosumab is a receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) inhibitor approved for SRE prevention in patients with multiple myeloma and patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. In phase 3 trials, denosumab showed superiority to the bisphosphonate zoledronate in reducing the risk of first on-study SRE by 17% (median time to first on-study SRE delayed by 8.2 months) and the risk of first and subsequent on-study SREs by 18% across multiple solid tumor types, i

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to identify independent factors that can be used to predict whether febrile neutropenic patients who appear healthy at presentation will develop subsequent complications, using variables that are readily available in the emergency department (ED).MethodThe medical records of 192 episodes in which the patients presented to the ED with neutropenic fever resulting from chemotherapy, with an alert mental state and haemodynamic stability were retrospectively reviewed. Endpoints examined were fever response to administered antibiotics, death or severe medical

Burden, Outcome, and Comorbidities of Extrahepatic Manifestations in Hepatitis B Virus Infections.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections affect approximately 296 million people around the world, and the prevalence of any past or present HBV infection during the years 2015-2018 was as high as 4.3%. Acute HBV infection often presents with nonspecific symptoms and is usually self-limited, but 5% of patients can have persistent infections leading to chronic HBV infection and the risk of turning into chronic HBV infection is significantly higher in babies with vertical transmission (95%). Patients with chronic HBV infection are usually asymptomatic, but 15 to 40% of chronic HBV carriers develop cir

Биомаркеры по исследованиям в области клинической медицины: исследование литературы в базе данных PubMed и критическая оценка.

Биомаркер, короткая форма "биологического маркера", появилась в научной литературе в 1940-х годах. С тех пор было предложено множество различных определений, однако общеприменимое объяснение термина " биомаркер " в науке является чрезвычайно сложным. Слово "биомаркер" встречается в 1.3 million статьи в научной базе данных PubMed , которая в настоящее время включает более 39 million Ссылки на биомедицинскую литературу. Биомаркеры тесно связаны со здоровьем и болезнями человека. В настоящей статье делается попытка подойти к многогранному термину "биомаркет" и оценить его с клинической

American College of Rheumatology Guidance Statement for Diagnosis and Management of VEXAS Developed by the International VEXAS Working Group Expert Panel.

OBJECTIVE: Vacuoles E1 enzyme X-linked autoinflammatory somatic syndrome (VEXAS) is a recently identified rare genetic disorder associated with somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene. VEXAS presents with a combination of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. METHODS: Given the variability in disease presentation and the limited number of studies to date, no clinical documents currently exist to provide guidance to health care providers about the management of VEXAS. To address this gap, we formed an international multidisciplinary panel of VEXA

Expression and clinical significance of microRNA-1246 in human oral squamous cell carcinoma.

BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that may function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Previous studies have shown that the expression level of miR-1246 was enhanced in multiple types of cancers. However, the expression of miR-1246 in human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its prognostic values remain unclear.Material and methodsQuantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression of miR-1246 in 106 pairs of matched normal and tumor tissue samples. The chi-square test was used to examine the associations between

Cytokine receptor IL27RA is an NF-κB-responsive gene involved in CD38 upregulation in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) shows constitutive activation of canonical and noncanonical nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling via genetic mutations or tumor microenvironment (TME) stimulations. A subset of MM cell lines showed dependency for cell growth and survival on the canonical NF-κB transcription factor RELA alone, suggesting a critical role for a RELA-mediated biological program in MM pathogenesis. Here, we determined the RELA-dependent transcriptional program in MM cell lines and found the expression of the cell surface molecules interleukin-27 receptor-α (IL-27Rα) and the adhesion molecule JA

Decrease in early mortality for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients in the Netherlands: a population-based study.

Identification of risk factors for early mortality (EM) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients may contribute to different therapeutic approaches in patients at risk for EM. This population-based study aimed to assess trends in EM and risk factors for EM among MM patients diagnosed in the Netherlands. All MM patients, newly diagnosed between 1989 and 2018, were identified in the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Patients were categorized into three calendar periods (1989-1998, 1999-2008, 2009-2018) and into five age groups (≤65, 66-70, 71-75, 76-80, >80 years). EM was defined as death by any cause ≤180

Clostridium butyricum alleviates multiple myeloma by remodeling the bone marrow microenvironment and inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway through the gut‒bone axis.

Emerging evidence reveals a strong connection between the gut microbiota and cancer. However, the exact role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in multiple myeloma (MM) is poorly understood, and the therapeutic potential of microbiota-targeted interventions represents a promising strategy that demands urgent mechanistic and translational investigation. First, we conducted a comprehensive microbiome-metabolite analysis between MM patients and healthy individuals. The result revealed a marked compositional difference characterized by reduced abundances of butyrate-producing bacteria and diminished buty

Hemophagocytic Syndrome-Associated Intravascular Large B-cell Lymphoma With Dialysis-Dependent End-Stage Renal Disease Treated With Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation Using a Modified TEAM Regimen.

Due to the low incidence and the large number of postmortem diagnoses, treatment recommendations for intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) are largely based on retrospective studies and case reports. There is little data on autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in dialysis-dependent patients and choosing an adequate regimen and dosing is difficult. Here, we report the treatment of a patient with relapsed IVLBCL and end-stage renal disease caused by lymphoma-associated renal AA amyloidosis using a modified TEAM (thiotepa, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) regimen and ASCT. A 42

Therapeutic Potential of Chlorogenic Acid in Chemoresistance and Chemoprotection in Cancer Treatment.

Chemotherapeutic drugs are indispensable in cancer treatment, but their effectiveness is often lessened because of non-selective toxicity to healthy tissues, which triggers inflammatory pathways that are harmful to vital organs. In addition, tumors' resistance to drugs causes failures in treatment. Chlorogenic acid (5-caffeoylquinic acid, CGA), found in plants and vegetables, is promising in anticancer mechanisms. In vitro and animal studies have indicated that CGA can overcome resistance to conventional chemotherapeutics and alleviate chemotherapy-induced toxicity by scavenging free radicals

An Unusual Case of Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia Presenting As Pericardial Effusion.

Plasma cell leukemia represents the rarest form of plasma cell dyscrasias arising from monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells in peripheral blood. Its aggressive natural history raises a significant therapeutic challenge. We present a case of a 58-year-old female who presented with a cough accompanied by exertional dyspnea. Further radiological investigations revealed a circumferential pericardial effusion. A pericardiocentesis was performed, resulting in the drainage of 650 cc of hemorrhagic pericardial fluid. Cytology revealed monoclonal plasma cells expressing CD38 and CD138 with cytoplas

Inflammatory Manifestations, Therapeutic Interventions, and Cancer Risk in Psoriasis: Current Epidemiological and Mechanistic Evidence.

Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune skin disease driven by persistent inflammation and immune dysfunction that severely impairs quality of life and is associated with serious comorbidities, including psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and depression. Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests an association between psoriasis and an increased risk of certain malignancies, such as breast cancer (BC) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), although the strength and consistency of these associations vary across study designs, and the underlying thrombo-inflammatory mechanisms remain inc
