Untapped Potential of Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Inhibitors: Lessons Learned From the Real-World Clinical Homologous Recombination Repair Mutation Testing.

Background: Testing for homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) mutations is pivotal to assess individual risk, to proact preventive measures in healthy carriers and to tailor treatments for cancer patients. Increasing prominence of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors with remarkable impact on molecular-selected patient survival across diverse nosologies, ingrains testing for BRCA genes and beyond in clinical practice. Nevertheless, testing strategies remain a question of debate.

Efficiency of Cell Therapy in Liver Cirrhosis.

We studied safety and clinical efficacy of transplantation of autologous bone marrow cell in complex therapy of 158 patients with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. The efficiency of cell therapy was assessed in 12 months after single injection of the cells. The positive response (alleviation of liver cirrhosis or stabilization of the pathological process) was observed in 70% cases.

Autologous bone marrow cells in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver.

The data characterizing tolerance and efficiency of autologous bone marrow cells in the treatment of patients with cirrhosis of the liver are presented. Injection of autologous bone marrow cells was not associated with the development of adverse reactions. Cell therapy of patients with compensated cirrhosis arrested asthenic syndrome, reduced cytolysis, increased the level of serum albumin and platelet count.
