Published: March 2023

Drug-induced reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a part of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR), often a life-threatening condition. DRESS is an uncommon reaction; however, it is more prevalent than Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) and is left undiagnosed due to its atypical clinical presentation. So far, no standard criteria or investigational tool assists in early and accurate diagnosis. The administration of systemic corticosteroids remains the widely used first line of management. However, new studies have revealed other potential treatment armamentariums. Because of the potential life-threatening outcome, every physician who deals with acute cases should be familiar with the clinical presentation and be able to start the necessary measurements. Recent studies revealed important information in the pathogenesis and management of the disorder were summarized in this review.

Downregulation of SLC7A11 by Bis(4-Hydroxy-3,5-Dimethylphenyl) Sulfone Induces Ferroptosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell.

Mol Carcinog

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Computer-Aided Drug Design of Dongguan City, The First Dongguan Affiliated Hospital, School of Pharmacy, Guangdong Medical University, Dongguan, Guangdong, China.

The progression of tumors has been demonstrated to have a strong correlation with ferroptosis. Bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl) sulfone (TMBPS) has been shown to effectively inhibit the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its underlying mechanism is not clear. In this study, ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) was employed to explore whether the death of HCC cells caused by TMBPS is related to ferroptosis.

Background: This study aimed to explore factors affecting adherence to targeted therapy in patients with renal cell carcinoma, focusing on the fear of adverse drug reactions.

Methods: This retrospective case-control study selected patients with renal cancer who received targeted therapy at our hospital from June 2021 to April 2023, categorising them based on their adherence to oral targeted drugs.

Results: Patients with good compliance reported significantly lower levels of fear related to disease progression and adverse drug reactions ( < 0.

Septic shock involves severe systemic inflammatory reaction toward various invading species, such as microorganisms and microbial toxins. Such a response is complicated and characterized as being a dynamic and time-dependent phenomenon. During this response, a significant amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines may be produced, causing a rapid death rate in septic victims and occasionally leading to apoptosis of immune cells within the first hours of septic reaction.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe mucocutaneous disorders characterized by extensive tissue necrosis; they are often accompanied by severe ocular complications (SOC). The regulatory role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in modulating immune responses in SJS/TEN is not fully understood, particularly in relation to chronic SOC. We explored the expression profiles of specific miRNAs and their potential impact on the regulation of key innate immune genes in patients with SJS/TEN with SOC.

Aim: To compare the respective clinical and pathologic features of antimitochondrial antibodies-negative (AMA-negative) primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and cholestatic type drug-induced liver injury (DILI) for clinical differential diagnosis.

Patients And Methods: Clinical data from 23 patients with AMA-negative PBC and 39 patients with cholestatic type DILI, treated at our hospital between January 2013 and January 2024, were collected and retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The cholestatic type DILI group exhibited a higher incidence of malaise and abdominal pain compared with the AMA-negative PBC group.
