Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), and statins may be able to modulate postoperative stiffness, a major cause of morbidity after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (aRCR).

Purpose: To determine whether there is an association between ACEi, ARB, or statin usage and stiffness after aRCR.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

How ligands modulate the gastric H,K-ATPase activity and its inhibition by tegoprazan.

J Biol Chem

December 2024

Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) - Universidad de Buenos Aires, Instituto de Química y Fisicoquímica Biológicas "Prof. Alejandro C. Paladini" (IQUIFIB), Buenos Aires, Argentina. Electronic address:

The introduction of potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) has been a major innovation in gastric H,K-ATPase inhibition and many laboratories are actively engaged in the development of novel molecules within this class. This work investigates the interaction between H,K-ATPase and tegoprazan, a representative of the P-CABs group, in terms of K and H binding, through functional and structural analyses. First, by studying the H,K-ATPase activity, we found a model to describe the non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics through a "ping-pong" mechanism that explains a stoichiometry of 1 H, 1 K, and 1 ATP molecule, but also considering the influence of H on the ionization states of the protein.

Introduction: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by inflammatory low back pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended as a first treatment in axSpA. In case of inadequate response to NSAIDs, biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) should be introduced according to the recommendations of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and the American College of Rheumatology.

Article Synopsis
  • The contamination of various drugs with nitrosamines, which are linked to skin cancer, is becoming a growing concern, particularly in relation to keratinocyte cancer and drug-induced carcinogenesis.
  • Nitrosamines can have both phototoxic and genotoxic effects, and the possibility of drug-induced skin cancer is heightened when multiple contaminated drugs are taken simultaneously, potentially activating oncogenes and deactivating tumor suppressor genes.
  • A case study highlights a female patient who developed three basal cell carcinomas after being treated with contaminated medications, suggesting that such contamination could significantly contribute to skin cancer risk in polypharmacy.

A rotating beam-blocker method for cone beam CT scatter correction.

Med Phys

October 2024

Department of Engineering and Applied Physics, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, People's Republic of China.

Background: Cone beam CT (CBCT) is widely utilized in clinics. However, the scatter artifact degrades the CBCT image quality, hampering the expansion of CBCT applications. Recently, beam-blocker methods have been used for CBCT scatter correction and proved their high cost-effectiveness.
