Phase II Clinical Trial of Neoadjuvant Weekly Doxorubicin, Polyglutamate Paclitaxel, Capecitabine and Metronomic Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer

The investigators propose to conduct a clinical trial of neoadjuvant treatment utilizing chemotherapy formulations with favorable toxicity profiles: weekly doxorubicin, PPX and capecitabine. It is expected this combination will at least maintain the efficacy of a traditional chemotherapy regimen but will be associated with less toxicity, particularly nausea, vomiting and alopecia. In order to accomplish this the investigators have designed a chemotherapy regimen whose components (or administration schedule) are associated with minimal or no alopecia and are also considered to have low emetogenic potential.
In an attempt to improve the efficacy of the regimen the investigators plan to study an alternate schedule of cyclophosphamide and methotrexate administration (metronomic chemotherapy) which appears to inhibit angiogenesis and therefore enhance the activity of conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy administered concurrently.
In this trial the investigators aim to determine the clinical and pathologic response rate of 12 weeks of doxorubicin followed by 4 cycles of PPX and capecitabine. Metronomic chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and methotrexate will be administered during the 24 weeks of chemotherapy.

Abstract:

Introduction: Bitewing examinations are used to examine the pediatric dental status. The aim of this study was to compare the image quality and radiation dose between two different X-ray systems used for pediatric bitewing imaging. Materials and Methods: Data were obtained from both pediatric in vivo bitewing studies and phantom studies. Two X-ray systems were used: Trophy CCX digital (TCCX) (Trophy Irix 70, Marne-la-Vallee, France) and Planmeca Pro X (PPX) (Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland). An Unfors dosimeter (Unfors EDD-30, Billdal, Sweden) was used to measure the skin dose. Image quality was evaluated blindly by three experienced dentists using a Likert scale of 1–5 based on the visual representation of the anatomical structures with emphasis on caries. Results: The highest scoring in vivo bitewing images were obtained with TCCX, but the skin dose was 36% higher (mean 3029 ± 613 μGy) and 113% higher (mean 1364 ± 276 μGy) with standard settings than with compared to PPX. The evaluation of image quality revealed a higher median value for all ratings of TCCX compared to PPX for both the patient and phantom studies, meaning that the images of TCCX were rated as higher quality than the images from PPX. No correlation was found between the median score and the skin dose or between the median score and the exposure times. Conclusion: A significant difference in radiation dose and image quality was found between TCCX and PPX in bitewing imaging. TCCX generally produced higher doses and better graded images, although all images were suitable for diagnosis.

Pramipexole decreases allodynia and hyperalgesia via NF-κB in astrocytes in rats with Parkinson's disease

Article

Author: González-Morales, Estefanía ; Condes-Lara, Miguel ; Rodríguez-Ramos, Maria Cristina ; Martínez-Lorenzana, María Guadalupe ; Pérez-Ruíz, Karen Pamela ; Mendoza-Pérez, Felipe ; Godínez-Chaparro, Beatriz ; Espinosa de Los Monteros-Zuñiga, Antonio

Pain is one of the principal non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), negatively impacting the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to demonstrate whether an effective dose of pramipexole (PPX) can modulate the NF-κB/p-p65 activation in glial cells (astrocytes and microglia) and diminish the hypersensitivity (allodynia and hyperalgesia) in male Wistar rats with PD. For this, 2 μl of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 8 μg/μL/0.2 μl/min) was administered unilaterally in the Substantia Nigra of the Pars Compacta (SNpc) to establish a PD model rat. Motor behavioral tests were used to validate the PD model, and von Frey filaments were used to evaluate allodynia and hyperalgesia. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence were used to analyze the level of tyrosine hydroxylase in SNpc and striatum as well as the expression of GFAP, Iba-1, NF-κB/p-65 in the L4-L6 spinal cord dorsal horn. Unilateral 6-OHDA-lesion reduces motor capacity and produces long-term allodynia and hyperalgesia in both hind paws. L4-L6 spinal cord dorsal horn astrocytes and microglia were active in these 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. Moreover, PPX (1 and 3 mg/Kg, i.p./10 days, n = 10 per group) inhibited the bilateral mechanical hypersensitivity, and PPX (3 mg/Kg/i.p./10 days) reduced 6-OHDA-induced astrocyte and microglia activation, as well as reduced NF-κB/p-p65 expression only in astrocytes of dorsal horn spinal cord in the L5-L6. These findings suggest that PPX could alleviate pain by decreasing the activation of microglia and astrocytes through the NF-κB/p-p65 pathway in the dorsal horn spinal cord. Therefore, PPX could be considered an optional tool for improving pain hypersensitivity in PD patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background:

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is associated with detrimental outcomes after lung transplantation (LTX); primary prophylaxis (PPX) with valganciclovir (VGC) is guideline‐recommended. VGC is associated with myelosuppression, spurring interest in letermovir (LTV).

Methods:

Adults undergoing LTX between January 1, 2021, and July 30, 2022 at our institution who were converted from VGC to LTV for PPX were evaluated. Outcomes included antimetabolite dosing during PPX, the incidence and frequency of myelosuppressive events, and the time to the first myelosuppressive event.

Results:

Twenty‐nine LTX recipients met the inclusion criteria. Most patients received non‐lymphocyte‐depleting induction (96.6%) and had moderate risk CMV serostatus (D+/R+, 48.3%). Patients transitioned from VGC to LTV 177 days (IQR 102 days) post‐transplant. After conversion to LTV, patients tolerated higher daily doses of mycophenolate (721 mg vs. 1000 mg, p = 0.008) or azathioprine (33.3 mg vs. 62.5 mg, p = 0.478). The incidence of myelosuppressive events was reduced (100.0% vs. 62.1%, p < 0.001) including leukopenia (96.6% vs. 58.6%, p = 0.001), severe leukopenia (82.8% vs 31.0%, p < 0.001) and neutropenia requiring GCSF (96.6% vs. 48.3%, p < 0.001) while on VGC compared to LTV. While on LTV, patients had a reduced rate of myelosuppressive events compared to VGC (1 event per 6.2 patient days vs. 1 event per 14.7 patient days, p < 0.001). While on LTV, one patient had breakthrough viremia (3.4%) that was treated with (val)ganciclovir.

Conclusions:

In this single‐center study, patients tolerated higher doses of antimetabolite immunosuppression, and the incidence and frequency of myelosuppressive events were reduced while on LTV compared to VGC. This evidence expands upon the current literature demonstrating improved tolerability of LTV in LTX recipients.

Self-healing plastic becomes biodegradable

Chemists develop mineral plastics with numerous positive properties from sustainable basic building blocks and, together with biologists, demonstrate the material's excellent microbiological degradability. Imagine a plastic like this: harder than common plastics, non-flammable, and even with self-healing properties. But that is not all! It can be produced at room temperature in water, which is very energy-efficient and does not require toxic solvents. Before hardening, you can shape the plastic in any way you want -- like chewing gum. By adding water, it can also be converted back to its "chewing gum" form at any time, reshaped and thus recycled as often as desired. Is that impossible? No, it is not! In 2016, the research team around Konstanz chemist Helmut Cölfen presented just such a material -- a mineral plastic. However, even though the plastic, with its novel manufacturing process and outstanding material properties, has since attracted great interest from industry, it still had a crucial shortcoming from the Konstanz chemists' point of view: due to its chemical composition, it was difficult to biodegrade. A new ingredient for greater environmental compatibility "Previously, we used polyacrylic acid to produce our mineral plastic. Chemically, this acid has the same backbone as polyethylene, which is known to cause major problems in the environment because it is hardly biodegradable," explains Cölfen. The research team led by Cölfen and Ilesha Avasthi, a postdoc in Cölfen's lab, therefore set to work looking for an alternative basic building block to develop an environmentally compatible mineral plastic that retains the intriguing properties of the original material. And they found what they were looking for. In their current publication in the journal Small Methods, the Konstanz chemists present the next generation of their mineral plastic. Instead of petroleum-based ingredients such as polyacrylic acid, they now use polyglutamic acid. This natural biopolymer is readily available in large quantities and can even be obtained sustainably, for example from biotechnological production using microorganisms. A variety of microorganisms that already exist in the environment can degrade polyglutamic acid. "Our new mineral plastic has the same positive properties as the previous one, but has the decisive advantage that its basic building block -- polyglutamic acid -- can be produced with the help of microorganisms and is completely biodegradable," says Helmut Cölfen. Support from biologists In order to prove that this biodegradability also applies to the new mineral plastic itself and not just to its individual components, the chemists enlisted the support of David Schleheck and postdoc Harry Lerner from the Department of Biology at the University of Konstanz. "Helmut Cölfen has created a new type of mineral plastic in his laboratory, and our task now was to make it disappear again with the help of microorganisms," says Schleheck with a smile. In degradation experiments, the biologists were able to show that microorganisms found in forest soils, for example, began metabolizing the mineral plastic after just a few days. After only 32 days, the microorganisms had completely degraded the plastic. So the researchers have actually succeeded in making the mineral plastic with all its positive material properties now also sustainable and biodegradable.

Organicell Announces Matt Sinnreich as CEO

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2022 / Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc. (OTCQB:OCEL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company principally focusing on the development of innovative biological therapeutics in the extracellular vesicle space, announced today that the board of directors has appointed Matt Sinnreich as Chief Operating Officer and acting CEO. Sinnreich will replace Mr. Albert Mitrani, the founder of Organicell and CEO since September 2019, who is stepping down to serve as the Company's EVP of sales. Sinnreich, an early-stage investor in Organicell, helped fund the company's audit in 2020 to bring their financials current and was instrumental in the creation of their flagship brand: Zofin. Sinnreich comes from a development and entrepreneurial background. His track record includes profitable corporate exits, successful real estate transactions, and owner-operated residential and commercial real estate developments. Sinnreich has closed tens of millions in various financing instruments including everything from traditional real estate debt, fundraising for private companies, to collateralized derivatives and swaps. Sinnreich is an early-stage investor in the ready to drink tequila-seltzer, Mamitas and owns a minority interest in Craig's Vegan Ice Cream. Sinnreich graduated from the University of Miami Business School in 2008 where he also won the 2008 Rothschild Business Plan Competition. In response to his appointment, Sinnreich stated: "I am humbled and grateful that the board and new investment groups have entrusted me to take Organicell to the next level. I believe that exosomes are a key element in the future of medicine and this company has the team to make that a reality. Albert and Mari Mitrani are pioneers in this space. They have assembled an incredible science team, developed an amazing product line, and built top tier production labs. All the ingredients are here for this company to become a major success. As COO and acting CEO I will be focused on creating additional financing vehicles, growing the awareness of our products and brand, and most importantly maintaining an honest, transparent relationship with the shareholders. My priorities right now are to work with our CFO, Ian Bothwell, to build out Organicell's core executive team. I will pull from my network to surround myself with the best and brightest in the medical and financial arenas. I plan to create a robust ERP and data management system and to set up additional financing vehicles to fund our clinical trials. I will also be taking to market Organicell's newest biological product: Patient Pure X™ (PPX™). PPX™ is Organicell's first autologous product that is a non-manipulated biologic that concentrates a patient's exosomes from their own peripheral blood. In plain English: we can concentrate a patient's exosomes from their own blood. Organicell's science team and researchers are currently conducting studies to prove PPX's effectiveness on pain, hair loss, its potential for aesthetic uses, and surgical recovery. Organicell's products have shown promising results in the early-stage data that has been collected. Once the company has the adequate data from our clinical trials to make the claims we are studying - I believe this company will be a disrupter in the biotech industry."
