E203K mutation in MAP2K1 (MEK1) causes acquired resistance to PD-1 blockade but responds to trametinib: a case report.
Chin Clin Oncol
December 2024
Colorectal Cancer Center, Sichuan University West China Hospital, Chengdu, China; Department of Medical Oncology, Cancer Center, Sichuan University West China Hospital, Chengdu, China.
Background: Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) is characterized by higher lymphocytic infiltration, which predicts sensitivity to immunotherapy. However, there are few studies investigating the mechanisms of acquired resistance to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade and its subsequent treatment strategies for EBVaGC.
Case Description: We describe the case of a patient with EBVaGC who was initially treated with first-line chemotherapy plus Sintilimab, a fully humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, resulting in a near-complete response.
Efficacy and safety of disease-modifying therapies in pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis: A systematic review of clinical trials and observational studies.
Mult Scler Relat Disord
January 2025
Department of Nutrition and Drug Research, Faculty of Health Sciences, Institute of Public Health, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Skawińska Street 8, 31-066 Krakow, Poland. Electronic address:
Objective: This study aimed to review the efficacy and safety profile of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in patients with relapsing pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS).
Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Published randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nonrandomized studies with a control group, large single-arm studies, and ongoing (unpublished) studies investigating the use of approved and unapproved DMTs in POMS were included.
Background: Anakinra is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). Since IL-1 has been shown to play a key role in the etiology of different autoinflammatory diseases, blocking its pathway has become an important therapeutic target, even in neonates.
Aims: We aimed to report our experience in using anakinra to treat specific neonatal inflammatory conditions.
Mitochondria and the Repurposing of Diabetes Drugs for Off-Label Health Benefits.
Int J Mol Sci

Department of Microbiology & Immunology, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117597, Singapore.
This review describes our current understanding of the role of the mitochondria in the repurposing of the anti-diabetes drugs metformin, gliclazide, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and SGLT2 inhibitors for additional clinical benefits regarding unhealthy aging, long COVID, mental neurogenerative disorders, and obesity. Metformin, the most prominent of these diabetes drugs, has been called the "Drug of Miracles and Wonders," as clinical trials have found it to be beneficial for human patients suffering from these maladies. To promote viral replication in all infected human cells, SARS-CoV-2 stimulates the infected liver cells to produce glucose and to export it into the blood stream, which can cause diabetes in long COVID patients, and metformin, which reduces the levels of glucose in the blood, was shown to cut the incidence rate of long COVID in half for all patients recovering from SARS-CoV-2.

BMC Anesthesiol

Department of Paediatric Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Medical University of Warsaw University Clinical Centre, ul. Żwirki i Wigury 63A, Warsaw, 02-091, Poland.
Background: Lidocaine, a widely used local anaesthetic, also serves as an adjuvant in pain management. However, its use in children is off-label. This study aimed to determine if intravenous lidocaine alleviates the haemodynamic, metabolic, and hormonal responses to intubation and laparoscopic surgery in children.
