The Authors have been evaluated the behaviour of serum ferritin in 16 patients with breast cancer. In all of the cases the serum ferritin values were significantly higher, compared with those found in 11 normal control subjects. Of particular interest was the reduction of serum ferritin in most of the patients who had undergone polychemotherapy with CMF. The results agree with the observations of various Authors as far as high levels of serum ferritin in course of breast cancer are concerned. Moreover it can be pointed out that the serum ferritin evaluation can represent a monitoring marker for the evaluation of the evolution of this disease.

Impact of iron chelation with deferasirox on telomere length and oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients: A randomized study.
Nefrologia (Engl Ed)
January 2025
Department of Hemodialysis, Hospital General Regional No. 58, Mexican Institute of Social Security, León, Guanajuato, Mexico.
Background: Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of deferasirox in patients in peritoneal dialysis, however, its effect has not been studied in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Objective: To investigate the impact of iron chelation on telomere length, oxidative stress, and ferritin levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Methods: This is an open-label study, with a control group of patients undergoing hemodialysis, who will receive treatment with deferasirox 15mg/kg/day for 6 months for iron chelation.
Pulmonary and serum cytokine profiles of patients with anti-ARS and anti-MDA5 antibodies.
J Autoimmun
January 2025
Department of Rheumatology, Dokkyo Medical University, Mibu, Tochigi, 321-0293, Japan.
The present study aimed to determine the pulmonary cytokine profiles of patients with anti-RNA synthetase (ARS) and anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibodies. The study included patients with ARS and MDA5 whose serum or bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) was available. Sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay microarray multiplex assay was used to measure 18 cytokine levels in serum and BALF.
