Genetic Polymorphisms and Cisplatin- Related Nephrotoxicity

 

Abstract: Cisplatin is one of the most widely applied antineoplastic agents used to treat different types of solid tumours. However, its use is limited by serious side- effects including nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin accumulates in proximal tubule and forms nephrotoxins that causes proximal cell injury and thereby leads to nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin enters these proximal cells by organic transporter molecules (OCT). Genetic polymorphism of these molecules and other membrane transport proteins that regulate cisplatin accumulation may influence cisplatin- related nephrotoxic outcome. Variations of DNA repair enzymes, e.g., ERCC1, eIF3, MMS 19L, and metabolic enzymes involved in platinum detoxification, e.g., GSTT1, GSTM1 may also have important role in the generation of nephrotoxicity. Polymorphisms of these genes can be used as predictive tools for such adverse- events in an individual. Thus chemotherapy can be modulated accordingly without compromising with antineoplastic activities of cisplatin.

Ministernotomy Thymectomy in Mysthania Gravis-Future

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology Research Article A thymectomy is the surgical removal of the thymus gland. The thymus has been demonstrated to play a role in the development of MG. It is removed in an effort to improve the weakness caused by MG, and to remove a thymoma if present.About 10% of MG patients have a tumor of the thymus called a thymoma. https://www.peertechz.com/articles/ministernotomy-thymectomy-in-mysthania-gravis-future.pdf
