Modulation of secretory factors by lipofundin contributes to its anti ‑neuroinflammatory effects
Exp Ther Med. 2024 Feb 27;27(4):169. doi: 10.3892/etm.2024.12456. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTAs the global population ages, the prevalence of neuroinflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke continues to increase. Therefore, it is necessary to develop preventive and therapeutic methods against neuroinflammatory diseases. Lipofundin is a lipid emulsion commonly used in clinical anesthetic solvents and nutritional supplements. Lipid emulsions have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties. However, the potential beneficial effect of lipofundin against neuroinflammation require...

Efficacy of Definitive Radiotherapy for Patients with Clinical Stage IIIB or IIIC Lung Adenocarcinoma and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutations Treated Using First- or Second-Generation EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
CONCLUSION: The addition of definitive RT to first- or second-generation EGFR TKI treatment does not significantly improve OS of patients with EGFR-mutated stage IIIB or IIIC lung adenocarcinoma.

HER2-low breast cancers: challenges in the interpretation of immunohistochemistry
Singapore Med J. 2024 Mar 13. doi: 10.4103/singaporemedj.SMJ-2023-037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOverexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein in breast cancers carries significant prognostic and therapeutic implications. Anti-HER2 blockade has shown to be a useful adjunct to surgery in treating HER2-positive tumours. Up till today, the HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridisation (ISH) scoring algorithms are geared towards identifying HER2-positive cases. A recently published Phase III clinical trial (DESTINY-Breast04) has demonstrated that an antibody-drug conjugate (trastuzum...
