Background/aim: Hyperthermia (HT), combined with chemotherapy, has been used to treat various types of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the HT-sensitivity of malignant and non-malignant cells, and then evaluate the combination effect of docetaxel (DTX) and a newly synthesized chromone derivative (compound A) with HT.
Materials And Methods: The number of viable cells was determined using the MTT method. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed using a cell sorter, and DNA fragmentation pattern was detected using agarose gel electrophoresis.
Results: Among 12 cultured cells, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), especially Ca9-22 cells, and myelogenous leukemia cells showed higher sensitivity to HT than lung carcinoma and glioblastoma cell lines, while normal oral cells were the most resistant. Cytotoxicity of DTX on Ca9-22 cells was maximum at 41-42°C and 45~60 min exposure to HT. DXT, compound A, and HT induced G/M arrest of Ca-22 cells. Mild HT enhanced the DTX- and compound A-induced subG arrest, in a synergistic fashion.
Conclusion: The combination G/M blockers and mild-HT can potentially be used for the treatment of OSCC.

Early genetic screening and cardiac intervention in patients with cardiomyopathies in a multidisciplinary clinic.
ESC Heart Fail
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to investigate how early assessment and genetic counseling in a multidisciplinary Cardiomyopathy Clinic can enhance patient outcomes and reduce the severity of heart failure.
- A total of 421 patients with various types of cardiomyopathy participated, with a significant portion undergoing genetic testing that revealed a notable incidence of pathogenic variants.
- Follow-up showed increased use of heart failure medications and improved heart function, indicated by a rise in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and a decrease in left ventricular mass index (LVMI) among patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Effects of valsartan vs amlodipine and achieved lower blood pressure on the incidence of end-stage kidney disease: The VALUE Trial.
Eur J Intern Med

SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Background: There is a paucity of data investigating the impact of antihypertensive drug classes and blood pressure (BP) treatment targets on the incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In patients with high-risk hypertension aged 50-80 years or above, we aimed to, 1) compare effects of valsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, with amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker and, 2) assess the effect of achieving systolic BP <135 vs ≥135 mmHg on the ESKD incidence.
Methods: The VALUE Trial was a multicenter prospective double-blinded randomized clinical trial in patients with essential hypertension and high cardiovascular risk including known coronary disease, left ventricular hypertrophy and previous stroke, in which ESKD was a secondary endpoint defined as progression to kidney transplant and/or dialysis.
Effect of optimisation to contemporary HFrEF medical therapy with sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto) and dapaglifloziN on left Ventricular reverse remodelling as demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) Imaging: the ENVI study.

Introduction: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) guidelines recommend 'four pillars' of medical therapy and device therapy if left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains ≤35% after 3 months optimum medical therapy.We conducted the first study to examine the effects of optimisation to contemporary medical therapy on cardiac reverse remodelling, as demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).We hypothesised a proportion of patients would undergo beneficial remodelling and LVEF improvement above the threshold for complex device prescription after 6 months.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Available data on the association between antihypertensive drugs and cancer are characterized by a few years follow-up. Our aim has been to evaluate the association between long-term exposure to antihypertensive drugs and the risk of cancer occurrence.
Methods: Using the healthcare utilization databases of the Lombardy region (Italy), individuals aged 40-85 years who had no previous history of cancer and were newly dispensed with at least one antihypertensive drug from the major drug classes between 2009 and 2011 were followed from the first drug dispensation to December 31, 2020.

Background: The appropriate duration of treatment with beta-blocker drugs after a myocardial infarction is unknown. Data are needed on the safety and efficacy of the interruption of long-term beta-blocker treatment to reduce side effects and improve quality of life in patients with a history of uncomplicated myocardial infarction.
Methods: In a multicenter, open label, randomized, noninferiority trial conducted at 49 sites in France, we randomly assigned patients with a history of myocardial infarction, in a 1:1 ratio, to interruption or continuation of beta-blocker treatment.
