Reactive Oxygen Species Bridge the Gap between Chronic Inflammation and Tumor Development.

According to numerous animal studies, adverse environmental stimuli, including physical, chemical, and biological factors, can cause low-grade chronic inflammation and subsequent tumor development. Human epidemiological evidence has confirmed the close relationship between chronic inflammation and tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms driving the development of persistent inflammation toward tumorigenesis remain unclear. In this study, we assess the potential role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and associated mechanisms in modulating inflammation-induced tumorigenesis. Recent reports have e

Current approach to the diagnosis and treatment of femoral-popliteal arterial disease. A systematic review.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of atherosclerosis affecting 5 million adults in the United States, with an age-adjusted prevalence of 4% to 15% and increasing up to 30% with age and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. In this article we focus on lower extremity PAD and specifically on the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal artery (SFPA), which are the most common anatomic locations of lower extremity atherosclerosis. We summarize current evidence and perform a systematic review on the diagnostic evaluation as well as the medical, endovascular and s

All patients had a clinical and a panoramic radiological dental examination taken immediately prior to

YKL-40-A Protein in the Field of Translational Medicine: A Role as a Biomarker in Cancer Patients?

YKL-40 is a 40 kDa glycoprotein produced by cancer cells, inflammatory cells and stem cells. It probably has a role in cell proliferation and differentiation, inflammation, protection against apoptosis, stimulation of angiogenesis, and regulation of extracellular tissue remodelling. Plasma levels of YKL-40 are often elevated in patients with localized or advanced cancer compared to age-matched healthy subjects. Several studies have demonstrated that high plasma YKL-40 is an independent prognostic biomarker of short survival in patients with different types of cancer. However, there is not yet

Pathophysiological Roles of the CX3CL1-CX3CR1 Axis in Renal Disease, Cardiovascular Disease, and Cancer.

CX3CL1 and its unique receptor, CX3CR1, are leukocyte migration factors and are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of many inflammatory diseases and malignancies. The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis induces a variety of responses, including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis resistance. CX3CL1 is a transmembrane protein, and proteolysis generates a soluble form. The membrane and soluble forms of CX3CL1 exhibit different functions, but both bind to the chemokine receptor CX3CR1. The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis is a chemokine system that has attracted attention not only as a therapeutic

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential in patients with immunoglobulin light-chain AL amyloidosis.

AbstractImmunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition of misfolded monoclonal free light chains, with cardiac complications accounting for patient mortality. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes in the general population. Its significance in AL amyloidosis remains unclear. We collected clinical information and outcome data on 76 patients with a diagnosis of AL amyloidosis who underwent deep targeted sequencing for myeloid neoplasia-associated mutations between April 2018 and August 2023.

In our study, we aimed to find subclinical changes in myocardial tissue after HSCT with the help of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue imaging techniques. Methods: The data of 44 patients undergoing autologous and allogeneic HSCT in the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas Clinics from October 2021 to February 2023 were analyzed. Bioethics approval for the prospective study was obtained (No BE-2-96). CMR was performed two times: before enr

The Conundrum of Cancer-Associated Thrombosis: Lesson Learned from Two Intriguing Cases and Literature Review.

The correlation between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is solid, whereas the knowledge about cancer-related arterial thromboembolism (ATE) still needs a deeper investigation to clarify its pathogenesis. We describe two cases that represent useful hints for a comprehensive review of the thrombotic issue. A 75-year-old man with advanced rectal cancer treated with fluoropyrimidines suffered two catheter-related VTE events managed according to current guidelines. There was no indication for "extended" anticoagulant therapy for him, but during antithrombotic wash-out and fluoropyrimidines

Cardiovascular Complications of Novel Anti-Cancer Immunotherapy: Old Problems from New Agents?

Many novel anti-cancer therapies have dramatically improved outcomes of various cancer patients. However, it also poses a risk for cardiovascular complications as well. For the novel anti-cancer agent with which physicians does not have enough clinical experiences to determine the characteristics of cardiovascular complications, it is important to assess risk factors for cardiotoxicity before starting anti-cancer therapy. High-risk patient should be consulted to cardiologist before initiating anti-cancer therapy and pre-emptive cardiac function monitoring plan might be prepared in advance. The

Physical activity in patients with cancer: self-report versus accelerometer assessments.

PurposeThe level of daily physical activity in patients with cancer is frequently assessed by questionnaires, such as the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). Objective assessments, with for example accelerometers, may be a good alternative. The aim of this study was to investigate the agreement between the PASE questionnaire and accelerometer-assessed physical activity in a large group of patients with different types of cancer.MethodsBaseline accelerometer and PASE questionnaire data of 403 participants from the REACT (Resistance and Endurance Exercise After Chemotherapy, n = 227)

Воздействие холодноводного рта на тепловые восприятия и связанные с теплом симптомы для людей с множественным склерозом, упражняющихся в жаркой среде.

ЦЕЛЬ: Проглатывание холодной воды повышает способность людей с множественным склерозом (МС) к упражнению в жаре. Неизвестно, смягчает ли проглатывание холодной воды симптомы СМ, связанные с теплом. Инъекция также ограничивает возможности людей, у которых MS с нарушениями функции мочевого пузыря. Поэтому мы проверили гипотезу о том, что промывка или проглатывание холодной воды (7°C) по сравнению с поглощением термонейтральной воды (37°C) могли бы смягчить наступление симптомов, связанных с теплом MS, и теплового ощущения у людей с теплочувствительностью и MS во время упражнений в жаре.МЕТОДЫ: В
