Post-transplant cyclophosphamide-induced cardiotoxicity: A comprehensive review.

Cyclophosphamide-induced cardiotoxicity, associated with its toxic metabolite acrolein, is a significant concern and unresolved issue, especially when cyclophosphamide is administrated in high doses. However, cardiotoxicity following low-dose cyclophosphamide has been also documented, especially in post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (post-HSCT) settings. Despite the involvement of multiple signaling pathways in cyclophosphamide-induced cardiomyopathy, the exact underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. This review outlines the current challenges of cyclophosphamide therapy

Search for novel biomarkers of febrile neutropenia in hematological patients: an overview.

A single-center prospective study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Kuopio Finland over the past two decades, searching for novel biomarker candidates to predict complicated course of febrile neutropenia (FN) in hematological patients. In Dec 2006‒Dec 2015, 85 patients with acute myeloid leukemia and 179 autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients were included. More than 20 biomarkers were evaluated in subsequent patient cohorts and compared to C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT). The samples were taken on d0-d2 from the beginning of FN. Here, we provide a

Correlation Between Serum Tumor Marker Levels and Connective Tissue Disease-Related Interstitial Lung Disease.

OBJECTIVE: The main aims of this study were to explore the relationships between serum tumor markers and connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) and to evaluate the clinical value of tumor markers for investigating interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD). METHODS: The study included 235 patients with CTD (90 CTD without ILDs, 145 CTD-ILD). Clinical information and the levels of inflammatory and tumor markers, including carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9, CA125, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA153, and cytokeratin 19 fragment

IFN-γ-driven skewing towards Th1 over Th17 differentiation underlies CRS and neutropenia in CAR-T therapy.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has led to significant improvements in patient survival. However, a subset of patients experience high-grade toxicities, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune cell-associated hematological toxicity (ICAHT). We utilized IL-2Ra knockout mice to model toxicities with elevated levels of IL-6, IFN-γ, and TNF-α and increased M1-like macrophages. Onset of CRS was accompanied by a reduction in peripheral blood neutrophils due to disruption of bone marrow neutrophil homeostasis characterized by an increase in apoptotic neutrophils and a de

Therapeutic and immunomodulatory effects of Bojungikki-tang on cancer: a scoping review.

BackgroundCancer remains a major global health concern, with conventional treatments often limited by side effects and resistance. Bojungikki-tang (BJIKT), a traditional herbal formula, has shown promise in alleviating cancer-related symptoms and enhancing anti-cancer effects when combined with conventional treatments. As immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become the standard for cancer treatment, a combination of BJIKT and ICIs may exhibit immune-mediated anti-cancer effects. This review aims to summarize the recent evidence on BJIKT use in cancer treatment, investigate its immunomodula

The Role of Exercise in Cancer-Related Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity.

One of the most common adverse effects of cancer and its therapeutic strategies is sarcopenia, a condition which is characterised by excess muscle wasting and muscle strength loss due to the disrupted muscle homeostasis. Moreover, cancer-related sarcopenia may be combined with the increased deposition of fat mass, a syndrome called cancer-associated sarcopenic obesity. Both clinical conditions have significant clinical importance and can predict disease progression and survival. A growing body of evidence supports the claim that physical exercise is a safe and effective complementary therapy f

BackgroundComorbidity is an area of increasing interest in multiple sclerosis (MS).ObjectiveThe objective of this review is to estimate the incidence and prevalence of comorbidity in people with MS and assess the quality of included studies.MethodsWe searched the PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE and Web of Knowledge databases, conference proceedings, and reference lists of retrieved articles. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts. One reviewer abstracted data using a standardized form and the abstraction was verified by a second reviewer. We assessed study quality using a standardized approach.

Immune reprogramming in the bone marrow microenvironment: a new perspective on the bone immune microenvironment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Research on postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), a common bone metabolic disease, has traditionally focused on bone loss and imbalance in bone remodeling. However, with the development of bone immunology, the complex interactions between immune cells and bone cells in the bone marrow microenvironment have gradually been revealed, and "immune reprogramming" is considered a key factor driving the persistent bone loss in PMOP. Current evidence indicates that the postmenopausal bone marrow microenvironment undergoes significant structural and functional changes. These changes are characterized by a

Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome Following High-Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in a Pediatric Patient With Neuroblastoma.

Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder most often recognized as a pulmonary manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Its occurrence following autologous HSCT (auto-HSCT) is exceedingly rare, and its clinical features and prognosis remain poorly defined. We report the case of a five-year-old girl with neuroblastoma who developed BOS after high-dose chemotherapy with thiotepa and melphalan followed by auto-HSCT. Respiratory symptoms, including dyspnea, wheeze, and oxygen desatu

BackgroundFew studies have examined the relationships between sputum inflammatory markers and subsequent annual decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (dFEV1). This study investigated whether indices of airway inflammation are predictors of dFEV1 in a general population-based sample.MethodsThe study, conducted from 2003 to 2005, included 120 healthy Norwegian subjects aged 40 to 70 years old. At baseline, the participants completed a self-administered respiratory questionnaire and underwent a clinical examination that included spirometry, venous blood sampling, and induced sputum examinati

Revitalizing T cells: breakthroughs and challenges in overcoming T cell exhaustion.

T cell exhaustion is a prevalent phenomenon in chronic infections and tumor microenvironments, severely compromising the effectiveness of antitumor and antiviral immunity. In recent years, there has been significant progress in understanding the underlying mechanisms of T cell exhaustion, including external factors and intrinsic cellular changes that drive this dysfunctional state. Key external factors such as persistent antigen exposure, immune checkpoint signaling, and the cytokine milieu, as well as intrinsic changes such as altered metabolic processes, epigenetic modifications, and transcr

Membranous nephropathy: pathogenesis and treatments.

Membranous nephropathy (MN), an autoimmune disease, can manifest at any age and is among the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. In 80% of cases, the specific etiology of MN remains unknown, while the remaining cases are linked to drug use or underlying conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus, hepatitis B virus, or malignancy. Although about one-third of patients may achieve spontaneous complete or partial remission with conservative management, another third face an elevated risk of disease progression, potentially leading to end-stage renal disease within 10 years. The i
