Journal: DYNLL1 accelerates cell cycle via ILF2/CDK4 axis to promote hepatocellular carcinoma development and palbociclib sensitivity. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 22, 2024 The pharmaco-economic evidence generated from this study has significant implications not only for guiding the drug pricing of the upcoming sotorasib but also for determining the reimbursement ratio for its potential inclusion in the National Reimbursement Drugs List in the future. Our work uncovers a novel function of DYNLL1 in orchestrating cell cycle to promote HCC development and suggests a potential synergy of CDK4/6 inhibitor and sorafenib for the treatment of HCC patients, especially those with increased DYNLL1.

Journal: Research progress on perioperative management of tooth extraction in denosumab-treated patients (Pubmed Central) - Jul 22, 2024 However, the perioperative management strategies for DRONJ differ from those for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. This article summarizes the perioperative management strategies for high-risk DRONJ patients from aspects such as oral hygiene care, antibiotic use, drug discontinuation during the perioperative period, and surgical strategy selection, aiming to provide guidance for oral surgeons in managing tooth extraction in denosumab-treated patients.

Review, Journal: Denosumab: A Useful Addition to the Armamentarium for the Management of Male Osteoporosis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 22, 2024 Multiple studies suggest that denosumab is both effective and safe, exhibiting higher adherence rates and greater patient satisfaction. In this narrative review, we highlighted the effects of denosumab in men with osteoporosis, subsequent changes in bone mineral density, and bone turnover markers outlining the literature and guideline support.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Monoclonal antibodies in patients with osteoporosis and renal insufficiency: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 22, 2024 There was no statistically significant difference in the change of estimated glomerular filtration rate and in the incidence of hypocalcemia and serious adverse events between groups. There were reductions in both vertebral and nonvertebral fracture risks, alongside improvements in BMD among patients with renal insufficiency treated with MAb.

Journal: Is JAK effective in treating recurrent SAPHO syndrome? TwHF might be a good choice. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 19, 2024 In this study, TwHF was successful in treating a patient with refractory SAPHO syndrome who was refractory to multiple Western medications without significant adverse effects or toxicities, but further follow-up is needed to determine long-term efficacy. More case reports as well as clinical trials are still needed to confirm whether TwHF can effectively treat refractory SAPHO syndrome.

The analysis indicates that infliximab is associated with 60 unique positive ADEs, including Hodgkin's disease, metastatic neoplasm, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; therefore, these patients should use infliximab with greater caution. Similarly, certolizumab should be used with increased caution in pregnant and postpartum women.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 18, 2024 The efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in patients with symptomatic and histologically active EoE are being assessed in the ongoing CROSSING study. Establishing a bone health clinic dedicated to osteoporosis management leads to significantly higher prescription rates per provider, increased utilization of anabolic therapies compared to other specialties, and more male patients being treated-an often-neglected population in osteoporosis.

Journal: APC/C prevents a noncanonical order of cyclin/CDK activity to maintain CDK4/6 inhibitor-induced arrest. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 18, 2024 Here, by expressing the APC/C inhibitor, EMI1, we show that APC/C activity is essential to prevent S phase entry in cells arrested by pharmacological cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibition (Palbociclib)...As a result, DNA synthesis and cell proliferation are profoundly impaired. Our findings predict that cancers with elevated EMI1 expression will tend to escape CDK4/6 inhibition into a premature, underlicensed S phase and suffer enhanced genome instability.

Journal: The Raf kinase inhibitors Dabrafenib and Regorafenib impair Zika virus replication via distinct mechanisms. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 18, 2024 Because these inhibitors affect distinct post-entry steps of ZIKV infection, their therapeutic potential may be amplified by combination therapy and likely does not require prophylactic administration. This study provides further insight into ZIKV-host interactions and has implications for the development of novel antivirals against ZIKV and possibly other flaviviruses.

Giant Cell tumour of bone a progressing danger (Exhibition Hall/Poster Area) - Jul 18, 2024 - Abstract #IASP2024IASP_1975; It usually develops near a joint at the end of the bone. Most occur in the long bones of the legs and arms.Giant cell tumors most often occur in young adults when skeletal bone growth is complete.The exact cause of giant cell tumors remains unknown.Symptoms may include joint pain, swelling, and limited movement.Diagnostic tests may include X-rays, biopsy, and bone scans.The goal for treatment of a giantcell tumor is to remove the tumor and prevent damage to the affected bone.Tumors that can't be removed surgically can often be controlled and sometimes destroyed with radiation therapy.Giant cell tumors can come back.
