Development of selective androgen receptor modulators and their therapeutic applications.

Androgens control a broad range of physiological functions. The androgen receptor (AR), a steroid receptor that mediates the diverse biological actions of androgens, is a ligand inducible transcription factor. Abnormalities in the androgen signaling system result in many disturbances ranging from changes in gender determination and sexual development to psychiatric and emotional disorders. Androgen replacement therapy can improve many clinical conditions including hypogonadism and osteoporosis, but is limited by the lack of efficacious and safe therapeutic agents with easy delivery options.

[Advances in the study of trichomoniasis in men].

Trichomoniasis is an important sexually transmitted disease that is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and increased HIV transmission. Infection with Trichomonas vaginalis also results in local urogenital tract symptoms. Standard teaching is that trichomoniasis is an important cause of vaginitis in women, but that male sexual partners experience little or no morbidity. It is worth-while to summarize critical findings in a series of articles. The prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis in men represents an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of urethritis.

Combating Methotrexate Resistance in Cancer Treatment: A Review on Navigating Pathways and Enhancing Its Efficacy With Fat-Soluble Vitamins.

Methotrexate (MTX), a potent analogue and antagonist of folic acid, is a first-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, IBD and cancer. The development of MTX resistance contributes to the reduced efficacy and development of adverse reactions, forcing clinicians to withdraw treatment early. This drawback requires combinational approaches to combat the resistance and enhance the efficacy and safety of MTX. To provide a brief overview of MTX resistance and strategies to mitigate its aftereffects in cancer therapy, a literature-based search was conducted using keywords such as cancer pathology, M

Insights into Endothelial Progenitor Cells: Origin, Classification, Potentials, and Prospects.

With the discovery of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in the late 1990s, a paradigm shift in the concept of neoangiogenesis occurred. The identification of circulating EPCs in peripheral blood marked the beginning of a new era with enormous potential in the rapidly transforming regenerative field. Overwhelmed with the revelation, researchers across the globe focused on isolating, defining, and interpreting the role of EPCs in various physiological and pathological conditions. Consequently, controversies emerged regarding the isolation techniques and classification of EPCs. Nevertheless, th

Exosomes in oncofertility: emerging roles in chemotherapy-induced reproductive damage and fertility preservation.

ABSTRACT: Oncofertility has emerged as a critical interdisciplinary field addressing the reproductive challenges faced by cancer patients, particularly those undergoing chemotherapy. While chemotherapeutic agents remain indispensable in cancer therapy, their gonadotoxic effects frequently result in diminished ovarian reserve, impaired spermatogenesis, and long-term infertility. Exosomes - small extracellular vesicles enriched with nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids - are increasingly recognized as key mediators of intercellular communication in both pathological and regenerative contexts. Rec

Human Cancers Derived from Either Genetic or Lifestyle Factors Are Initiated by Impaired Estrogen Signaling.

BackgroundGenetic studies have found that a germline BRCA1 gene mutation is the origin of highly increased cancer risk. Clinical studies have suggested that increased cancer risk in type-2 diabetes may be attributed to unhealthy lifestyle factors and bad habits.PurposePatients with either BRCA1 gene mutation or type-2 diabetes similarly exhibit increased cancer risk, insulin resistance, and fertility disorders. It was suggested that these three alterations derive from a common genomic failure, and its recognition may shed light on the unsolved secret of cancer.Results(1) Germline mutations on

Peripheral Nerves in Cancer: Regulatory Roles and Therapeutic Strategies.

Cancer neuroscience has emerged as a transformative frontier in oncology research, focusing on the interplay between cancer cells and the nervous system. Cancer cells establish tumorspecific neural networks within tumor tissues via neurotrophic hijacking. The nervous system regulates tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis either directly by regulating signal transduction in tumor cells or indirectly by modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME). The positive feedback loop between cancer cells and nerves promotes tumor progression. Deciphering the regulatory role of nerves in tumor prog

Oxidative Stress: Signaling Pathways, Biological Functions, and Disease.

The dysregulated accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species disrupts redox homeostasis, triggering oxidative stress (OS) and driving pathophysiological changes across multiple organ systems. OS modulates critical signaling pathways, induces inflammation, impairs mitochondrial function, alters metabolic homeostasis, and dysregulates autophagy, contributing to disease progression. While prior research has largely focused on OS within single-organ diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and oncological disorders), the systemic role of OS in pan-organ di

Ammonium metabolism rewiring in the prostate cancer microenvironment: Mechanisms and clinical prospects.

Ammonium metabolism represents a critically understudied yet pivotal driver of prostate tumorigenesis and tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling. The interplay between tumor metabolic reprogramming and the tumor microenvironment has emerged as a critical frontier in oncology research. While previous studies on prostate cancer metabolism have predominantly focused on lipid metabolism and the Warburg effect, the role of ammonium metabolism, particularly the urea cycle in tumor immune regulation remains insufficiently explored. This metabolic reprogramming constitutes a central node connecting c

[Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis].

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is generally held to be uncommon. Its etiology is unknown. The disease continues to present with early bilateral ureteric involvement. Nowadays imaging techniques permit so a timely diagnosis to preserve and reduce renal damage. The optimum method of management is still controversial. Controversies on pharmacological, endourological and surgical treatment are debated. The advantages of various types of surgery are reviewed. In the urological department of the Civic Hospital in Brescia from February 1984 to June 1992, 87 patients (6 females and 2 males) with

[Circumvallate nephro-cystostomy].

Circumvallate nephro-cystostomy (CNC) provides a subcutaneous connection of a nephrostomy and a cystostomy catheter thus allowing spontaneous micturition. This procedure is suitable for those patients affected by an obstructive nephropathy where it was not possible to insert a double "J" stent or where surgical treatment was not allowed. Patients affected by debilitating disease benefit from these procedure by avoiding problems connected with daily handling of catheter, examples are medications at the insertion site or possible dislodgement of a nephrostomy catheter added to the psychological
