Diagnostic and therapeutic use of oral micronized progesterone in endocrinology
Rev Endocr Metab Disord. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1007/s11154-024-09882-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProgesterone is a natural steroid hormone, while progestins are synthetic molecules. In the female reproductive system, progesterone contributes to the control of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone secretion and their pulsatility, via its receptors on the kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin neurons in the hypothalamus. Progesterone together with estradiol controls the cyclic changes of proliferation and decidualization of the endometrium; exerts anti-mitogenic actions on endometrial epithelial cells; r...

PD-1 inhibition with retifanlimab and/or arginase inhibition with INCB001158 in Japanese patients with solid tumors: A phase I study
CONCLUSION: Retifanlimab, INCB001158, and their combination had acceptable safety profiles. Promising retifanlimab antitumor activity warrants further investigation in Japanese patients.PMID:38651187 | DOI:10.1002/cam4.6980 (Source: Cancer Control)

Antibacterial prophylaxis with fosfomycin at the time of the urethral catheter removal after radical prostatectomy (prospective randomized trial)
CONCLUSION: Antibacterial prophylaxis using two oral doses of fosfomycin 3 g on the day of urethral catheter removal and 48 hours after catheter removal after radical prostatectomy appears to be an effective scheme that reduces the incidence of urinary tract infection and the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms, and is characterized by a minimal risk of adverse events. It is necessary to carried out further research and develop clear recommendations for antibacterial prevention in urological interventions requiring prolonged urethral catheterization.PMID:38650404 (Source: Cancer Control)

Importin 7 enhances protective autophagy induced by nuclear translocation of homeobox A10 in oral squamous cell carcinoma
This study aimed to explore the function and mechanism of IPO7 in OSCC. IPO7 expression in tissues and cells was determined by RT-qPCR. Cell proliferative, migratory, and invasive capabilities were detected through transwell assay and colony formation assay. Mice xenograft models were established for evaluating tumor growth. Autophagy was estimated by the LC3 levels in cells through western blot and immunofluorescence (IF). Western blot was utilized to detect the key proteins in PERK/EIF2AK3/ATF4 pathway for assessing the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). The interaction of IPO7 and homeobox A10 (HOXA10) was tested by GS...

Systematic literature review of heavy metal contamination of the Nigerian environment from E-waste management: associated health and carcinogenic risk assessment
This study harmonizes primary data on HMs from e-waste in different Nigerian environmental media including the air, soil, surface dust, water and plant. We estimated the possible health implications, single and aggregative soil and water pollution indices in adult and children, carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks secondary to HM exposure and mapped out the possible mechanism of carcinogenesis. Analysis showed that soil, water, surface dust and plant matrices in Nigerian environment are variedly but considerably contaminated with combination of HMs. The significantly high values of the hazard quotient and hazard index o...

Sophorin mitigate flutamide-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats
In this study,sophorin was used at a dose of 100mg/kg body weight in purified water via oral route for 4 week daily whereas, flutamide was used at a dose of 100mg kg/b.wt for 4 weeks daily in 0.5% carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) through the oral route for the induction of hepatotoxicity. Flutamide administration leads to enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, an imbalance in redox homeostasis and peroxidation of lipid resulted in reduced natural antioxidant level in liver tissue. Our result demonstrated that sophorin significantly abrogate flutamide induced lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl (PC), and also sig...
