Protein tyrosine kinases help to regulate the expression of many genes that play important roles in inflammation. Here we investigate the effects of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor tyrphostin AG126 in two animal models of acute and chronic inflammation, carrageenan-induced pleurisy and
Dasatinib, a broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), predominantly targets BCR-ABL and SRC oncoproteins and also inhibits off-target kinases, which may result in unexpected drug responses. We identified 22 patients with marked lymphoproliferation in blood while on dasatinib therapy.
Although both lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) commonly occur in clinical practice, little attention has been paid to their coexistence. A 62-year-old female was admitted with acute dyspnoea secondary to cardiac tamponade. During her admission, a mass lesion harbouring air bronchograms in
Mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene are known to be associated with the pronounced tumor response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Unfortunately, these TKI-sensitizing alterations have been detected almost exclusively in lung adenocarcinomas; indeed, their
Ginkgolide B (GKB) is a bioactive component of the standardized extract from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree (EGb 761), which is used in Chinese and in occidental medicine. GKB is known as a platelet-activating factor receptor antagonist. Here, we provide evidence that GKB per se (0.25-5
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is an indicator of advanced disease (stage M1a) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Typically, these patients are candidates for palliative treatment. There is a lack of evidence about the radical surgical treatment in carcinomatous pleuritis with
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are now major actors for the treatment of non-small-cell metastatic lung cancers where ROS 1 gene rearrangement is present. Because of the rapid development of these new therapies, developing information about their monitoring and knowledge about their potential toxicities
