As a factor associated with inflammation regulation, T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-1 (TIM-1) is found to be involved in various inflammatory disorders such as asthma and COPD. In this study, the GEO database provides two human COPD gene expression datasets (GSE67472, n = 62) along with the relevant controls (n = 43) for differentially expressed gene (DEG) analyses. Candidate biomarkers are identified, and the discriminatory ability is determined using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values. Furthermore, a COPD mouse model is established using CSE to validate that anti-TIM-1 can attenuate airway mucus hypersecretion and inflammation via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in COPD. Anti-TIM-1 antibody pretreatment significantly suppresses mucin secretion, inflammatory cell infiltration, and inflammatory cytokine release in mouse lungs induced by CSE and also suppresses CSE-induced expression of MUC5AC. Western blot shows that the anti-TIM-1 antibody attenuates the activation of p-Akt in airway mucus hypersecretion mice induced by CSE. This study highlights the protective effect of the TIM-1 antibody on CSE-related airway mucus hypersecretion and inflammation, in which PI3K/AKT may be involved. These findings suggest that TIM-1 could be a potential therapeutic target for airway mucus hypersecretion.</p>","PeriodicalId":20145,"journal":{"name":"Pharmazie","volume":"79 10","pages":"220-227"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143053230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates the efficacy of bevacizumab combined with standard chemotherapy by comparing progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes with a historical cohort of patients treated with standard chemotherapy alone. <i>Methods:</i> We conducted an analysis of 71 patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer treated at the University Clinical Center in Niš, Serbia, from April 2017 to March 2023. All patients received standard chemotherapy paired with bevacizumab and were monitored for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Additionally, a historical cohort of 30 patients treated with standard chemotherapy alone was used for comparison, and Cox regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing treatment outcomes. <i>Results:</i> The study findings indicate significant improvements in median PFS (20 months vs. 15 months) and OS (58 months vs. an undetermined upper limit) compared to the historical cohort.

The results underscore the necessity of integrating bevacizumab into the treatment regimen for advanced ovarian cancer, advocating for tailored therapeutic strategies based on individual risk profiles and clinical characteristics.

A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the z-scores of both ADHD drug users and non-users to determine potential trends in body weight and body height from baseline to the 3 rd annual follow-up. <i>Results:</i> At the last visit with ADHD drug use of the 48 ADHD drug users, 40% (19/48) of the children and adolescents were below the 25 th reference percentile for weight. Z-scores for body height declined from baseline to the 3<sup>rd</sup> annual follow-up in individuals who used ADHD drugs (n=10; Difference<sub>means</sub> =-0.310; p=0.002) compared to non-users (n=649; Difference<sub>means</sub> =0.102; p<0.001). Body weight also decreased from baseline to 3<sup>rd</sup> follow-up in the ADHD drug group (n=10; Difference<sub>means</sub> =-0.473; p<0.001) compared to the non-user group (n=649; Difference<sub>means</sub> =0.015; p=0.161). <i>Conclusion:</i> We observed a potential tendency towards lower Z-scores for body height and body weight in individuals taking ADHD medication for an extended period compared to the corresponding age- and sex-matched populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":20145,"journal":{"name":"Pharmazie","volume":"79 9","pages":"202-208"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142472459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
