Cancer du pancréas localement évolué non resécable : chimioradiothérapie d’induction suivie de chimiothérapie par gemcitabine contre chimiothérapie e…
2011
Resume Objectif de l’etude Etudier l’apport de la chimioradiotherapie concomitante suivie de chimiotherapie dans le cancer pancreatique localement evolue, par rapport a la chimiotherapie seule. Patients et methodes Cent dix-neuf patients atteints d’un cancer pancreatique localement evolue, avec indice de performance de 0 a 2 selon l’Organisation mondiale de la sante, ont ete randomises entre une chimioradiotherapie concomitante d’induction (60 Gy, 2 Gy/fraction ; perfusion concomitante de 5-fluoro-uracile de 300 mg/m2 par jour, de j1 a j5 pendant six semaines ; cisplatine, 20 mg/m2 par jour, de j1 a j5 pendant la premiere et la cinquieme semaines) et une chimiotherapie d’induction par gemci…

Knowledge, attitudes and practices of primary healthcare professionals to female genital mutilation in Valencia, Spain: are we ready for this challen…
2017
Background The practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a deeply-rooted tradition in 30 Sub-Saharan and Middle-East countries which affects approximately 200 million women and girls worldwide. The practice leads to devastating consequences on the health and quality of life of women and girls in both the short and long term. Globalizing processes and migration flows have recorded cases of this practice worldwide representing for healthcare professionals an emerging challenge on how to approach their healthcare in a transcultural, ethical and respectful way. No survey to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices on FGM among primary healthcare professionals has been conducted in the Val…

Imidazo[2,1-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazoles with antiproliferative activity against primary and gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells
2020
A new series of eighteen imidazo [2,1-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives was efficiently synthesized and screened for antiproliferative activity against the National Cancer Institute (NCI-60) cell lines panel. Two out of eighteen derivatives, compounds 12a and 12h, showed remarkably cytotoxic activity with the half maximal inhibitory concentration values (IC50) ranging from 0.23 to 11.4 μM, and 0.29–12.2 μM, respectively. However, two additional compounds, 12b and 13g, displayed remarkable in vitro antiproliferative activity against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines, including immortalized (SUIT-2, Capan-1, Panc-1), primary (PDAC-3) and gemcitabine-resistant (Panc-1R), elici…
Ryt obrzezania w Gilgal (Joz 5,2-9) momentem odnowienia relacji narodu wybranego z JHWH
2020
Przymierzom biblijnym często towarzyszyły znaki, np. tęcza (Rdz 9,12–17), krew cielców (Wj 24,3–8) czy też chleb i wino (Łk 22,19–20). Zewnętrznym znakiem przymierza, jakie Bóg zawarł z Abrahamem, było obrzezanie (Rdz 17,9–14). Obrzęd ten został zaniedbany podczas czterdziestoletniej wędrówki przez pustynię. Jednak po przejściu Jordanu JHWH upomniał się o ten znak. Tak jak obrzezanie fizyczne było warunkiem wzięcia w posiadanie Ziemi Obiecanej, tak obrzezanie serca było warunkiem utrzymania tej ziemi w rękach Izraelitów oraz gwarantowało bezpieczeństwo i pomyślność. Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje szczegółową analizę perykopy Joz 5,2–9, w której jest mowa o obrzezaniu w Gilgal i o odnowieniu r…
Safety and effectiveness of gemcitabine for the treatment of classic Kaposi’s sarcoma without visceral involvement
2022
Background: Classic Kaposi’s sarcoma (CKS) is a rare, multifocal, endothelial cell neoplasm that typically occurs in elderly people with previous infection by human herpes virus-8. Prospective trials are rare, and the choice of drugs relies on prospective trials performed on HIV-associated Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS). Pegylated liposomal anthracyclines and taxanes are considered the standard first- and second-line chemotherapy, respectively. Despite the indolent biologic behavior, the natural history is characterized by recurrent disease. This condition of chronic administration of cytotoxic drugs is often associated with immediate/long-term adverse events. Methods: This was an observational, ret…

Elimination of quiescent/slow-proliferating cancer stem cells by Bcl-XL inhibition in non-small cell lung cancer
2014
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, urging the discovery of novel molecular targets and therapeutic strategies. Stem cells have been recently isolated from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), thus allowing the investigation of molecular pathways specifically active in the tumorigenic population. We have found that Bcl-XL is constantly expressed by lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs) and has a prominent role in regulating LCSC survival. Whereas chemotherapeutic agents were scarcely effective against LCSC, the small molecule Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor ABT-737, but not the selective Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-199, induced LCSC death at nanomolar concentrations. Differen…
