drugtherapy, etc ; DNA; patients; pharmacogenomics; risk; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Pharmacogenomics is based on the understanding of the individual differences in drug use, the response to drug therapy (efficacy and toxicity), and the mechanisms underlying variable drug responses. The identification of DNA variants which markedly contribute to inter-individual variations in drug responses would improve the efficacy of treatments and decrease the rate of the adverse side effects ...

Abstract:
... Polyprodrugs with drugs as the structural units have been recognized as promising drug self-delivery systems (DSDSs) for tumor chemotherapy, especially ones in which the drug structural units are linked with both pH- and reduction-cleavable conjugations. However, stable DOX derivatives are released after the acid/reduction co-triggered degradation, exhibiting low antitumor efficacy due to their lo ...

Abstract:
... Healthcare professionals of chemotherapy departments are in a regular contact with anticancer drugs that have genotoxic properties. The analysis of the cytogenetic status of healthcare professionals (54 individuals) was for the first time carried out using a new promising noninvasive method, buccal micronucleus cytome assay with the calculation of integral indices. The effect was estimated with di ...

Abstract:
... The aggregation of α-synuclein is a prominent feature of Parkinson’s disease. It is induced by factors such as genetic mutations and presence of metal salts leading to Parkinson’s like symptoms. Existing case studies show that patients undergoing cancer chemotherapeutics are also prone to developing Parkinson’s like symptoms. However, the underlying cause behind onset of these symptoms is not unde ...

Abstract:
... Taste changes and malnutrition are two important problems in patients with different types of cancer. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between malnutrition and subjective taste changes experienced by cancer patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy. The study used a cross-sectional design and was carried out with 1382 patients with cancer receiving outpatient chemotherapy. Of ...

Abstract:
... Meropenem, a representative β‐lactam antibiotic, is widely used to treat complicated and serious infections. Therefore, it is of great significance to monitor the plasma drug concentration for individualized antimicrobial therapy. This study first describes the development and validation of high‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry cubed method for monitoring meropenem in hum ...

Abstract:
... The real-time tracking and efficacy evaluation of therapeutic nanoplatforms especially in deep-tissues is of great importance but faces challenges. Meanwhile, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), relying on Fenton reaction by converting H₂O₂ into toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), has drawn wide interests in the fabrication of nanozymes for tumor therapy, while endogenous H₂O₂ is usually insufficient for effec ...

Abstract:
... Individuals undergoing bariatric surgery may present inappropriate behaviors and eating habits, especially in the long term, in addition to the presence of psychological disorders, which are factors that may favor weight relapse. Objective: To describe eating behavior and perception of body self-image in women over 24 months after bariatric surgery. Materials and methods: Eating behavior and perce ...

Abstract:
... Previous research has established that Lentinula edodes mycovirus HKB (LeV-HKB) and L. edodes partitivirus 1(LePV1) are major mycoviruses identified in L.edodes germplasm. In this paper, two different methods for curing these two dsRNA mycoviruses, ribavirin treatment and mycelial fragmentation, were evaluated for the first time. Mycelial fragmentation was found to resulted in LeV-HKB- and LePV1-c ...

Abstract:
... Fasting associated with chemotherapy could improve the efficacy of anticancer treatments without increasing their adverse effects. We conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA Statement to summarize the evidence on the effects of fasting on treatment response of adults undergoing chemotherapy and make suggestions for the design of future clinical trials The search was performed on CENTRAL ...

Abstract:
... Heart failure (HF) is a grave health concern, with high morbidity and mortality, calling for the urgent need for new and alternative pharmacotherapies. Lingguizhugan decoction (LD) is a classic Chinese formula clinically used to treat HF. However, the underlying mechanisms involved are not fully elucidated. Based on that, this study aims to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of LD o ...

Abstract:
... Significant advances in the pharmacological management of depression have been made since the introduction of the first-generation of antidepressants in the 1950s. Currently, treatment options for depression include pharmacotherapy with newer generations of drugs, such as atypical ADs. However, since ADs belong to a group of psychotropic drugs, some of their constituent compounds can be used illeg ...

Abstract:
... Since its license in 1978, cisplatin has proved to be one of the most successful chemotherapeutic agents in the world. However, two acute challenges facing cisplatin, resistance and toxicity, have resulted in a bottleneck of clinical application. Targeted nanomedicine shows great promise in delivering cisplatin for maximizing efficacy while minimizing off-target toxicity. This article surveyed the ...

Abstract:
... Studies have shown that disulfiram (DSF) can combine with Cu²⁺ to form bis(N, N-diethyldithiocarbamate) copper(II) complex (CuET) as antitumor drugs. However, there is insufficient endogenous Cu²⁺ dose to eradicate cancer cells selectively. Inspired by the buffet, we use Cu²⁺ doped hollow zeolitic imidazolate framework nanoparticles (HZIFCᵤ) as the carrier and equipped with DSF and indocyanine gre ...

Abstract:
... Nanoparticle mediated hyperthermia has been explored as a method to increase cancer treatment efficacy by heating tumours inside-out. With that purpose, nanoparticles have been designed and their properties tailored to respond to external stimuli and convert the supplied energy into heat, therefore inducing damage to tumour cells. Moreover, the combination of hyperthermia with chemotherapy has bee ...

Abstract:
... Old or very old oncological patients represent a heterogeneous and frail population due to concomitant comorbidities. Whether radiotherapy alone or in combination with novel cancer drugs may provide a clear benefit in this setting of patients is still a matter of debate. The aim of our review is to analyze the evaluation process and the different therapeutic possibilities in older cancer patients, ...
