Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer is the leading cancer globally, with EGFR mutations common in female NSCLC patients, necessitating targeted therapies like TKIs, though resistance often develops.
  • A case study details a 63-year-old woman with both lung adenocarcinoma and renal cancer; she initially responded well to standard treatments but faced resistance.
  • The use of furmonertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, resulted in a remarkable 27 months of progression-free survival, showcasing its effectiveness against complex resistance pathways.

Background: Fangji Huangqi Decoction (FJHQD), a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula, has been widely applied in improving renal function. However, the interaction of bioactives from FJHQD with the targets involved in acute renal injury (AKI) has not been elucidated yet.

Purpose: A network pharmacology-based approach combined with molecular docking and in vitro and in vivo validation was performed to determine the bioactives, key targets, and potential pharmacological mechanism of FJHQD against AKI.

Calciphylaxis is a rare and serious disorder almost exclusively seen in patients on dialysis or those with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis and is associated with very high mortality. We present the case of a 50-year-old male with a background of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) compliant with dialysis, parathyroid adenoma, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and high body mass index (BMI). Whilst receiving 31 doses of intravenous sodium thiosulphate (STS) over an 11-week period, the patient underwent surgical debridement of multiple painful ulcerative lesions in his lower abdomen and left thigh and then subsequently a subtotal parathyroidectomy at 70 days from admission.
