4Gy with a range of 0.75-28.3Gy. The median V
was 62.7%. Of the cohort, 67.6% received an MSD of more than 10Gy.

Two-thirds of the patients received a dose of more than the 10Gy. A review of the literature suggests that higher splenic radiation doses may increase the long-term risk of infection and impact on other outcomes. This study provides important evidence that the spleen receives a significant dose of radiation when treating distal oesophageal cancer and should be considered as an organ at risk.

To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locally advanced pancreatic head cancers.

A total of 16 patients were included in the single-institution phase I dose-escalation study. The initial dose level was 35Gy in five fractions, doses were then sequentially escalated to 37.5Gy, 40Gy, 42.5Gy, and 45Gy. The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as III/IV GI (gastrointestinal) toxicity.

A total of 16 patients with locally advanced pancreatic head cancers were analyzed, 14 patients had received gemcitabine or S1-based chemotherapy. Median OS and LPFS were 14.5months and 12.5months, respectively; The OS rates at 1 and 2years were 68.8% and 25%, respectively. No grade 3 or 4 acute or late GI toxicities were observed. Grade 3 toxicities were observed in four patients with three hematologic toxicities and one biliary obstruction for acute toxicities, G1-2 of GI late toxicity were in 31.25% of patients.

SBRT doses ranging from 35 to 45Gy in five fractions could be given for patients with locally advanced pancreatic head cancers without severe GI toxicities, whereas the side effect of biliary obstruction should be paid more attention.

When the serum [creatinine] is changing, creatinine kinetics can still gauge the kidney function, and knowing the kinetic glomerular filtration rate (GFR) helps doctors take care of patients with renal failure. We wondered how the serum [creatinine] would respond if the kinetic GFR were tweaked. In every scenario, if the kinetic GFR decreased, the [creatinine] would increase, and vice versa. This opposing relationship was hypothesized to be universal.

Serum [creatinine] and kinetic GFR, along with other parameters, are described by a differential equation. We differentiated [creatinine] with respect to kinetic GFR to test if the two variables would change oppositely of each other, throughout the gamut of all allowable clinical values. To remove the discontinuities in the derivative, limits were solved.

The derivative and its limits were comprehensively analyzed and proved to have a sign that is always negative, meaning that [creatinine] and kinetic GFR must indeed move in opposite directions. The derivative is bigger in absolute value at the higher end of the [creatinine] scale, where a small drop in the kinetic GFR can cause the [creatinine] to shoot upward, making acute kidney injury similar to chronic kidney disease in that regard.

All else being equal, a change in the kinetic GFR obligates the [creatinine] to change in the opposite direction. This does not negate the fact that an increasing [creatinine] can be compatible with a rising kinetic GFR, due to differences in how the time variable is treated.

Heat acclimation may also increase mitochondrial muscle mass. We studied the effects of heat acclimation combined with endurance training on metabolic adaptations of skeletal muscle. Thirty-two rats were divided into four groups control (C), trained (T), heat-acclimated (H), and trained with heat acclimation (H+T) for 6 weeks. Soleus muscle metabolism was studied, notably by the in situ measurement of mitochondrial respiration with pyruvate (Pyr) or palmitoyl-coenzyme A (PCoA), under phosphorylating conditions ( V ˙ max ) or not ( V ˙ 0 ). Aerobic performance increased, and retroperitoneal fat mass decreased with training, independently of heat exposure (p less then 0.001 and p less then 0.001, respectively). Citrate synthase and hydroxyl-acyl-dehydrogenase activity increased with endurance training (p less then 0.001 and p less then 0.01, respectively), without any effect of heat acclimation. Training induced an increase of the V ˙ 0 and V ˙ max for PCoA (p less then .001 and p less then .01, respectively), without interference with heat acclimation. The training-induced increase of V ˙ 0 (p less then 0.01) for pyruvate oxidation was limited when combined with heat acclimation (-23%, p less then 0.01). Training and heat acclimation independently increased the V ˙ max for pyruvate (+60% p less then 0.001 and +50% p = 0.01, respectively), without an additive effect of the combination. Heat acclimation doubled the training effect on muscle glycogen storage (p less then 0.001). Heat acclimation did not improve mitochondrial adaptations induced by endurance training in the soleus muscle, possibly limiting the alteration of carbohydrate oxidation while not facilitating fatty-acid utilization. Furthermore, the increase in glycogen storage observed after HA combined with endurance training, without the improvement of pyruvate oxidation, appears to be a hypoxic metabolic phenotype.The positively-charged peptide antp derived from Antennapedia transcription protein is demonstrated to mediate the liposome translocation across the cell membrane. In the current investigation, we prepared a stable liposomal doxorubicin (Dox) formulation and targeted it with the antp peptide from 0 to 200 ligand/liposome. These antp-containing liposomes were investigated in terms of physical stability on storage in the refrigerator and upon incubation in blood. Also, other features like cell binding, uptake, biodistribution, and treatment efficiency were evaluated in C26 colon carcinoma BALB/c mice. The Antp in liposomes resulted in enhanced particle growth with the development of the enormously large liposomes from 2000 to 6000 nm. Upon incubation in blood, these large liposomes were removed. The antp also enhanced the cell binding affinity and cell uptake rate of the liposomes and resulted in the restriction of the cancer cell proliferation, but it failed to improve the chemotherapeutic property of the Dox-liposome. The i.v. injection of antp-liposomes (15 mg Dox/kg) caused severe body weight loss and early death incidence due to probably increased toxicity. The antp targeting offered no advantage to the Dox-liposome in the delivery of Dox to the tumor, and failed to enhance the treatment efficiency of the liposomes.
Despite improvements in the management of renal cell carcinomas (RCC) with the advent of immunotherapy, only a few patients respond to these treatments. Predictors of response to nivolumab are currently being investigated but are still lacking.

To evaluate eosinophil levels and their variations during treatment as an accurate biomarker for outcome in metastatic RCC treated with nivolumab.

A retrospective analysis was carried out for patients with metastatic RCC treated with nivolumab. Absolute eosinophil counts, their variation, and relative change were evaluated at six weeks. Relative eosinophil change was categorized in three groups (≥10%-decrease, no change, ≥10%-increase). Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to determine whether eosinophils and their variations were prognostic markers for response at the first scan evaluation, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

Sixty-five patients aged on average 66years, 68% men, and 77% with good or intermediate International Metave eosinophil change at 6 weeks might be good prognostic markers for response to nivolumab for metastatic RCC, and were associated with better PFS and OS.Diet and/or exercise are cost effective interventions to treat obesity. However, it is unclear if the type of exercise undertaken can prevent the onset of obesity and if it can act through different effects on fat depots. In this study we did not allow obesity to develop so we commenced the high-fat diet (HFD) and exercise programs concurrently and investigated the effect of endurance exercise (END) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on changes in cellular adipogenesis, thermogenesis, fibrosis, and inflammatory markers in three different fat depots, on a HFD and a chow diet. This was to assess the effectiveness of exercise to prevent the onset of obesity-induced changes. Mice fed with chow or HFD (45% kcal fat) were trained and performed either END or HIIT for 10 weeks (3 x 40 min sessions/week). In HFD mice, both exercise programs significantly prevented the increase in body weight (END 17%, HIIT 20%), total body fat mass (END 46%, HIIT 50%), increased lean mass as a proportion of body weight (Lean mass/BW) by 14%, and improved insulin sensitivity by 22%. Further evidence of the preventative effect of exercise was seen significantly decreased markers for adipogenesis, inflammation, and extracellular matrix accumulation in both subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and epididymal adipose tissue (EPI). In chow, no such marked effects were seen with both the exercise programs on all the three fat depots. This study establishes the beneficial effect of both HIIT and END exercise in preventing metabolic deterioration, collagen deposition, and inflammatory responses in fat depots, resulting in an improved whole body insulin resistance in HFD mice.Medial artery calcification results from deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals on elastin layers, and osteogenic changes in vascular smooth muscle cells. It is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and peripheral artery disease (PAD), and when identified in lower extremity vessels, it is associated with increased amputation rates. Proteasome cleavage This study aims to evaluate the effects of medial calcification on perfusion and functional recovery after hindlimb ischemia in rats. Medial artery calcification and acute limb ischemia were induced by vitamin D3 (VitD3 ) injection and femoral artery ligation in rats. VitD3 injection robustly induced calcification in the medial layer of femoral arteries in vivo. Laser Doppler perfusion imaging revealed that perfusion decreased and then partially recovered after hindlimb ischemia in vehicle-injected rats. In contrast, VitD3 -injected rats showed markedly impaired recovery of perfusion following limb ischemia. Accordingly, rats with medial calcification showed worse ischemia scores and delayed functional recovery compared with controls. Immunohistochemical and histological staining did not show differences in capillary density or muscle morphology between VitD3 - and vehicle-injected rats at 28 days after femoral artery ligation. The evaluation of cardiac and hemodynamic parameters showed that arterial stiffness was increased while cardiac function was preserved in VitD3 -injected rats. These findings suggest that medial calcification may contribute to impaired perfusion in PAD by altering vascular compliance, however, the specific mechanisms remain poorly understood. Reducing or slowing the progression of arterial calcification in patients with PAD may improve clinical outcomes.
