Journal: Glucocorticoid-induced dose-related and site-specific bone remodeling, microstructure, and mechanical changes in cancellous and cortical bones. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 15, 2022 Thirty-one female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three dexamethasone (Dex) dosage groups, 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/kg twice a week for 8 weeks, and one control group treated with saline...In summary, Bone remodeling was dose-dependently inhibited in cancellous bones but enhanced in intracortical bones. The non-uniform distribution of trabecular bone and increased porosity in the inner edge of cortical bone were both in parallel with GC dosage, and the porosity increase was more likely to occur, leading to reduced cortical mechanical strength.
- |||||||||| Clinical, Journal: Comparison of venous thromboembolism incidence in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients receiving bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone (RVD) or carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone (KRD) with aspirin or rivaroxaban thromboprophylaxis. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 15, 2022
In this retrospective study of 305 NDMM patients, VTE rates in those treated with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone (KRD) + aspirin (ASA), bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone (RVD) + ASA, and KRD + rivaroxaban were statistically significant, 16·1%, 4·8%, and 4·8%, respectively. The findings confirm a higher incidence of VTE when using KRD induction compared to RVD induction and reveal that the use of low-dose rivaroxaban thromboprophylaxis can mitigate this risk without an observable increase in bleeding rates.

Journal: Applications of the SR4G Transgenic Zebrafish Line for Biomonitoring of Stress-Disrupting Compounds: A Proof-of-Concept Study. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 15, 2022 We employed zebrafish larva (transgenic SR4G line) with a cortisol-inducible green fluorescence protein reporter (eGFP) as a model to detect stress responses upon exposure to compounds with environmental impact, including bisphenol A (BPA), vinclozolin (VIN), and fluoxetine (FLX)...Hydrocortisone (CORT)and dexamethasone (DEX) were used as positive and negative controls, respectively...Our findings support the use of SR4G transgenic larvae as an in vivo biomonitoring model to screen chemicals for their stress-disrupting potentials. This is important because there is increasing evidence that brief exposures to environmental pollutants modify the stress response and critical coping behaviors for several generations.

To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second case report of RES/primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the kidney presenting as CS in paediatric age group and first with a concomitant pituitary incidentaloma.

Journal: PBPK Modelling of Dexamethasone in Patients With COVID-19 and Liver Disease. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 15, 2022 The exposure of DEX in different stages of LD was predicted through PBPK modelling, providing a rational framework to predict PK in complex clinical scenarios related to COVID-19. Model simulations suggest dose adjustments of DEX in LD patients are not necessary considering the low dose administered in the COVID-19 protocol.

Journal: Histone Deacetylation Controls Xylem Vessel Cell Differentiation via Transcriptional Regulation of a Transcription Repressor Complex OFP1/4-MYB75-KNAT7-BLH6. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 15, 2022 We tested the effects of cellular stress inducers on VND7-induced differentiation of xylem vessel cells with the VND7-VP16-GR system, in which VND7 activity is post-translationally induced by dexamethasone application...Thus, the negative effects of HDAC inhibitors on xylem vessel cell differentiation are mediated, at least partly, by the abnormal upregulation of the transcriptional repressor complex OFP1/4-MYB75-KNAT7-BLH6. Collectively, our findings suggest that active regulation of histone deacetylation by HDACs is involved in xylem vessel cell differentiation via the OFP1/4-MYB75-KNAT7-BLH6 complex.

Journal: Identification of circRNA Expression Profiles in BMSCs from Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis Model.

The present study identified circARSB, circAKT3, circPTEN, and circTRPM7 as being associated with osteogenic differentiation during GIOP through a circRNA-targeted miRNA-mRNA axis, which might provide insight into the pathophysiological mechanism of GIOP.

Botulinum toxin A injection tended to be more effective than steroid septal injection in terms of duration and degree.Level of Evidence: 2b, individual cohort study.
