Predictive model for treatment outcomes of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, in Taiwanese patients

392 views | Dec 20 2023

In this retrospective study of 104 peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) patients in Taiwan, the investigation revealed a poor prognosis, highlighted the potential efficacy of pralatrexate as salvage chemotherapy for eligible patients, identified adverse prognostic factors, and proposed a novel predictive index with distinct risk groups, emphasizing the need for further validation and exploration of improved treatment strategies.

265 views | Dec 05 2023

**Combining FOLFOX hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with lenvatinib significantly prolongs overall and progression-free survival, making it a promising and safe treatment option for patients with unresectable cholangiocarcinoma.** [Read the Full Post]

Five-year cardiovascular event risk in early rheumatoid arthritis patients who received treat-to-target management: a case-control study

368 views | Feb 07 2023

The study found that ERA patients managed using a treat-to-target strategy had a similar incidence of cardiovascular events compared to a CV risk factor-matched non-RA population, while a historical RA cohort receiving routine care had a significantly higher incidence. [Read the Full Post]

Gancao Nourishing-Yin decoction combined with methotrexate in treatment of aging CIA mice: a study based on DIA proteomic analysis

417 views | Feb 07 2023

Gancao Nourishing-Yin decoction (GCNY) added to methotrexate (MTX) showed better effects in treating elderly rheumatoid arthritis (ERA) mice model compared to either treatment alone, as seen through improved joint damage, decreased inflammation, and regulation of metabolism-related pathways, and ELISAs confirmed improved folic acid levels and anti-folate resistance pathways.

Identification of the Serine Biosynthesis Pathway as a Critical Component of BRAF Inhibitor Resistance of Melanoma, Pancreatic, and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

1084 views | Nov 08 2018

The novel aspects of this study are the direct identification of serine biosynthesis as a critical mechanism of BRAF V600E inhibitor resistance and the first successful example of using gemcitabine + BRAFis in combination to kill previously drug-resistant cancer cells, creating the translational potential of pretreatment with gemcitabine prior to BRAFi treatment of tumor cells to reverse resistance within the mutational profile and the WT.
