We have demonstrated that 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) combined with vitamin D(3) (VD(3)) and cytosine arabinoside (Ara C) is effective and feasible for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in blastic phase (BP). In the current study, the efficacy of TPA combined with inhibitor imatinib mesylate (imatinib) was investigated in patients with CML in BP that was resistant to standard-dose imatinib (400mg/day). The results suggested that TPA combined with imatinib (400mg/day) might overcome disease-poor response to conventional doses. So this approach deserves further evaluation as frontline therapy for newly diagnosed CML.

Quantum chemical methods and time-resolved laser spectroscopy are employed to elucidate ultrafast charge-separation processes in triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives upon photoexcitation. When changing the ambient solvent from non-electron-accepting to electron-acceptor solvents, such as chloroform, a vastly extended and multifaceted photochemistry of TPA derivatives is observed. Following initial excitation, two concurrent charge-transfer processes are identified.

Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is the preferred treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Nevertheless, only approximately half of patients undergoing IVT experience positive outcomes. The objective of the study was to examine the clinical characteristics of patients with AIS and identify predictors for unfavorable clinical outcomes at 3 months after IVT.

Monotherapy in diabetes management is losing interest due to its ineffectiveness in achieving optimal glycaemic control in a significant proportion of diabetic patients. Therefore, combined therapy is increasingly preferred by clinicians, which offers enhanced effectiveness and a better safety profile for managing the condition. The present work deals with the designing of a dual drug nanocarrier based on MCM-48 and 12-tungtophosphoric acid (TPA) for the co-delivery of Glipizide (GLP) and Metformin Hydrochloride (MTF) as well as its characterization using various techniques.

Aims/hypothesis: We aimed to examine arrhythmias and hypoglycaemia among individuals with and without diabetes who are receiving haemodialysis and to investigate the association between arrhythmias and hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia and glycaemic variability.

Methods: This prospective multicentre cohort study included 70 participants on maintenance haemodialysis (35 with diabetes and 35 without diabetes). We employed implantable cardiac monitors for continuous heart rhythm monitoring in combination with periodic use of continuous glucose monitoring.
