Sunitinib is the first-line drug for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment. However, patients who received sunitinib treatment will ultimately develop drug resistance after 6-15 months, creating a huge obstacle to the current treatment of RCC. Therefore, it is urgent to clarify the mechanisms of sunitinib resistance and develop new strategies to overcome it. In this review, the mechanisms of sunitinib resistance in RCC have been summarized based on five topics: activation of bypass or alternative pathway, inadequate drug accumulation, tumor microenvironment, metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation...

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) originate from neuroendocrine cells, and mainly occur in the gastrointestinal tract and lungs, rarely occurring in the orbit. Here, the clinicopathologic factors, treatments and prognosis of three cases of orbital NENs are described. The mean age of the three patients (two females and one male) was 59 years. Two cases exhibited ocular symptoms, including unilateral proptosis and eyelid mass, while the third case presented systemic symptoms exhibited as Cushing's syndrome. The tumours were surgically resected in all three patients...

Over the past two decades, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has become a crucial tool for diagnosing pulmonary diseases. The most common indication of EBUS usage is the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. Additionally, there have been significant improvements in the application of convex probe EBUS in line with the increase in experience and knowledge about EBUS and the developments in medicine and technology. To enhance diagnostic accuracy and acquire larger tissue samples, techniques such as cryo-biopsy guided by endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and intranodal forceps biopsy have been developed...

BACKGROUND: The maintenance dosage of selexipag is categorized as low, medium or high. In order to assess the efficacy and safety of different dosages of selexipag for the risk stratification of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: Studies assessing PAH risk stratification indices, such as the World Health Organization functional class (WHO-FC), six-minute walk distance (6MWD), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, right atrial pressure (RAP), cardiac index (CI) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2 ), were included...

BACKGROUND: Although some targeted therapies have been shown to be effective in treating HER2-altered non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the survival demands have not yet been met due to the high cost and limited availability. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of pyrotinib plus antiangiogenic agents, including apatinib, anlotinib, and bevacizumab, in previously treated patients with HER2-altered advanced NSCLC. METHODS: In this retrospective real-world study, patients with HER2-altered NSCLC who received pyrotinib plus antiangiogenic agents as a second- or later-line treatment between November 2015 and January 2022 were reviewed...

A retrospective chart review of 332 pediatric psoriasis patients seen at a single academic institution from 2012 to 2022 was conducted to examine the risk factors associated with palmoplantar psoriasis (PP), a painful and treatment-resistant subtype of plaque psoriasis affecting hands and feet. Black patients have a 6.386-fold increase in the odds of having PP compared to White patients and males have a 2.241-fold increase in the odds of having PP. Black and Hispanic/Latino patients displayed a higher prevalence of nail and palm/sole involvement (p < ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that involves the development of programs designed to replicate human cognitive processes and the analysis of complex data. In dermatology, which is predominantly a visual-based diagnostic field, AI has become increasingly important in improving professional processes, particularly in the diagnosis of psoriasis. In this review, we summarized current AI applications in psoriasis: (i) diagnosis, including identification, classification, lesion segmentation, lesion severity and area scoring; (ii) treatment, including prediction treatment efficiency and prediction candidate drugs; (iii) management, including e-health and preventive medicine...

To investigate radiation-induced cytopenia and establish predictive nomograms for hematological toxicity, we reviewed 3786 patients aged 18 or older who received radiation monotherapy between 2010 and 2021 for non-hematologic malignancies. We collected data on patient background, treatment content and hematologic toxicities for 12 weeks after the start of radiotherapy. The patients were randomly divided into training and test groups in 7:3 ratio. In the training group, we conducted ordered logistic regression analysis to identify predictive factors for neutropenia, lymphocytopenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia...

Tacrolimus is widely reported to display diurnal variation in pharmacokinetic parameters with twice-daily dosing. However, the contribution of chronopharmacokinetics versus food intake is unclear, with even less evidence in the pediatric population. The objectives of this study were to summarize the existing literature by meta-analysis and evaluate the impact of food composition on 24-hour pharmacokinetics in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. For the meta-analysis, ten studies involving 253 individuals were included...
