We measured serum lipids, lipoproteins and post-heparin plasma lipases, lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase, in 12 female patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes (postglucagon C-peptide undetectable), in 11 female insulin-treated patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes (postglucagon C-peptide greater than 0.60 nmol/l) and in 16 non-diabetic female control subjects. These three groups of subjects were similar with respect to age and obesity. Insulin dose was similar in patients with Type 1 and with Type 2 diabetes. HDL and HDL2 cholesterol were lower in patients with Type 2 diabetes than in non-diabetic control subjects (p less than 0.05) but did not differ between patients with Type 1 diabetes and non-diabetic control subjects. No difference in lipoprotein lipase activity was seen between the groups. The highest levels of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities were observed in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Lipoprotein lipase activity correlated significantly with HDL cholesterol in patients with Type 1 diabetes (p less than 0.01) and in patients with Type 2 diabetes (p less than 0.001) but not in control subjects. Hepatic lipase activity did not correlate significantly with HDL cholesterol in any of the groups. In conclusion, postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities do not seem to explain the difference in HDL cholesterol concentration between patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Statin Use With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Survival in Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer.
Clin Lung Cancer
December 2024
Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD; The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD.
Objective: To determine the association between concurrent statin use with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and lung cancer-specific and overall mortality in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Materials And Methods: SEER-Medicare was used to conduct a retrospective study of Medicare beneficiaries ≥65 years of age diagnosed with NSCLC between 2007 and 2017 treated with an ICI. Patients were followed from date of first ICI claim until death, 1 month from last ICI claim, or 12/31/2018, whichever came first.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoma in adults, which characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of clinical presentation, molecular phenotype, and genetic features. However, approximately 30 %-40 % of patients are refractory to standard chemotherapy, and their prognosis is poor. The emergence of small-molecule inhibitors, such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), has greatly improved the treatment of DLBCL; however, drug resistance associated with small-molecule inhibitors has greatly limited their clinical application.

Chapter 5: THE ROLE OF GENETICS IN PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM.

Around 10% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are thought to be genetic in origin, some of which are part of a syndromic form such as multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1, 2A or 4 or hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome, while the remainder are cases of isolated familial primary hyperparathyroidism. Recognition of these genetic forms is important to ensure appropriate management according to the gene and type of variant involved, but screening for a genetic cause is not justified in all patients presenting primary hyperparathyroidism. The indications for genetic analysis have made it possible to propose a decision tree that takes into account whether the presentation is familial or sporadic, syndromic or isolated, patient age, and histopathological type of parathyroid lesion.
