Hydrocephalus is a cerebrospinal fluid physiological disorder that causes ventricular dilation with normal or high intracranial pressure. The current regular treatment for hydrocephalus is cerebrospinal fluid shunting, which is frequently related to failure and complications. Meanwhile, considering that the current nonsurgical treatments of hydrocephalus can only relieve the symptoms but cannot eliminate this complication caused by primary brain injuries, the exploration of more effective therapies has become the focus for many researchers. In this article, the current research status and progress of nonsurgical treatment in animal models of hydrocephalus are reviewed to provide new orientations for animal research and clinical practice.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is standard for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, though often ineffective. Therefore, predicting the response to chemotherapy before treatment is desirable. However, there is currently no established method for predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Preclinical evaluation of the potential PARP-imaging probe [carbonyl-C]DPQ.

EJNMMI Radiopharm Chem

January 2025

Division of Nuclear Medicine, Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Background: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes are crucial for the repair of DNA single-strand breaks and have become key therapeutic targets in homologous recombination-deficient cancers, including prostate cancer. To enable non-invasive monitoring of PARP-1 expression, several PARP-1-targeting positron emission tomography (PET) tracers have been developed. Here, we aimed to preclinically investigate [carbonyl-C]DPQ as an alternative PARP-1 PET tracer as it features a strongly distinct chemotype compared to the frontrunners [F]FluorThanatrace and [F]PARPi.

Cardiac Regeneration in Adult Zebrafish: A Review of Signaling and Metabolic Coordination.

Curr Cardiol Rep

January 2025

Department of Zoology, Trivenidevi Bhalotia College (Affiliated to Kazi Nazrul University), College Para Rd, Raniganj, 713347, West Bengal, India.

Purpose Of Review: This review investigates how post-injury cellular signaling and energy metabolism are two pivotal points in zebrafish's cardiomyocyte cell cycle re-entry and proliferation. It seeks to highlight the probable mechanism of action in proliferative cardiomyocytes compared to mammals and identify gaps in the current understanding of metabolic regulation of cardiac regeneration.

Recent Findings: Metabolic substrate changes after birth correlate with reduced cardiomyocyte proliferation in mammals.

Targeting on the PI3K/mTOR: a potential treatment strategy for clear cell ovarian carcinoma.

Cancer Chemother Pharmacol

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200011, China.

Purpose: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma is a highly malignant gynecological tumor characterized by a high rate of chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is well-known to be closely related to the progression of various malignancies, and recent studies have indicated that this pathway may play a critical role in the progression and worsening of OCCC.

Methods: In this study, we investigated the combined effects of WX390, a dual inhibitor of PI3K/mTOR, and cisplatin on OCCC through both in vitro and in vivo experiments to further elucidate their therapeutic effects.

Purpose: Sulfur mustard gas (SM) exposure to eyes causes multiple corneal injuries including stromal cell loss in vivo. However, mechanisms mediating stromal cell loss/death remains elusive. This study sought to test the novel hypothesis that SM-induced toxicity to human corneal stromal fibroblasts involves ferroptosis mechanism via p38 MAPK signaling.
