BACKGROUND: The PHERGain study (NCT03161353) is assessing early metabolic responses to neoadjuvant treatment with trastuzumab-pertuzumab and chemotherapy de-escalation using a [18 Fluorine]fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography ([18 F]FDG-PET) and a pathological complete response-adapted strategy in HER2-positive (HER2+) early breast cancer (EBC). Herein, we present RESPONSE, a PHERGain substudy, where clinicopathological and molecular predictors of [18 F]FDG-PET disease detection were evaluated...

Ror-family receptors, Ror1 and Ror2, are type I transmembrane proteins that possess an extracellular cysteine-rich domain, which is conserved throughout the Frizzled-family receptors and is a binding site for Wnt ligands. Both Ror1 and Ror2 function primarily as receptors or co-receptors for Wnt5a to activate the β-catenin-independent, non-canonical Wnt signaling, thereby regulating cell polarity, migration, proliferation, and differentiation depending on the context. Ror1 and Ror2 are expressed highly in many tissues during embryogenesis but minimally or scarcely in adult tissues, with some exceptions...

INTRODUCTION: Triazole antifungal agents are widely used to treat and prevent systemic mycoses. With wide clinical use, the number of reported adverse events has gradually increased. The aim of this study was to analyze the cardiac disorders associated with TAAs (fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole and isavuconazole) based on data from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System FDA Adverse Event Reporting System. METHODS: Data were extracted from the FAERS database between the first quarter of 2004 and third quarter of 2022...

OBJECTIVE: Although the mechanisms behind pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are well-documented, bridging the gap between this knowledge and clinical evidence of DDIs, especially for serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs), remains challenging. While leveraging the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database along with disproportionality analysis tends to detect a vast number of DDI signals, this abundance complicates further investigation, such as validation through clinical trials...

Vaccine-associated multiple sclerosis (MS) is rare, with insufficient evidence from case reports. Given the scarcity of large-scale data investigating the association between vaccine administration and adverse events, we investigated the global burden of vaccine-associated MS and potential related vaccines from 1967 to 2022. Reports on vaccine-associated MS between 1967 and 2022 were obtained from the World Health Organization International Pharmacovigilance Database (total number of reports = 120 715 116)...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been increasingly associated with severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). These reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) are uncommon but potentially lethal. Despite the severity of these reactions and growing association with the ICIs, their specific risk and mortality rates have been largely unexplored...

OBJECTIVE: Subsets of CD21-/low memory B cells (MBCs), including double-negative (DN, CD27- IgD- ) and Tbet+ CD11c+ cells, are expanded in chronic inflammatory diseases. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), CD21-/low MBCs correlate with joint destruction. However, whether this is due to the Tbet+ CD11c+ subset, its function and pathogenic contribution to RA are unknown. This study aims to investigate the association between CD21-/low Tbet+ CD11c+ MBCs and joint destruction as well as other clinical parameters and to elucidate their functional properties in untreated RA patients (uRA)...

RORα is a transcription factor encoded by RORA gene. This protein is involved in several metabolic conditions, including obesity. We assessed association between two polymorphisms within this gene (namely rs11639084 and rs4774388) and severe obesity in Iranian population. Both SNPs were associated with obesity in all models (P < 0.0001) except for over-dominant model. T allele of rs11639084 was associated with this trait with OR (95% CI) of 16.85 (13.11-21.67) and was considered as the risk allele...

BACKGROUND: This study analyzed the bleeding adverse events (AEs) resulting from the treatment of B-cell lymphoma with Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, according to reports in the US Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). METHODS: Bleeding AEs associated with BTK inhibitors (including ibrutinib, zanubrutinib, and acalabrutinib) from the first quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2023 were extracted. Reporting odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) were reported...

BACKGROUND: Despite its widespread use, the adverse effects (AEs) of memantine have not been well documented, and there is a need to find new ways to analyze the AEs of memantine. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: AEs in which the primary suspected drug was memantine were retrieved from the FAERS database. The proportional report ratio (PRR), reporting odds ratio (ROR), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and empirical Bayesian geometric mean (EBGM) were used to detect potential positive signals between memantine and AEs...

BACKGROUND: Several studies have demonstrated that early childhood and adolescent obesity are risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility. Obesity is thought to share inflammatory components with MS through overproduction of pro-inflammatory adipokines (e.g., leptin) and reduction of anti-inflammatory adipokines (e.g, adiponectin). Recently, drug repurposing (i.e. identifying new indications for existing drugs) has garnered significant attention. The US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database serves not only as a resource for mining adverse drug reactions and safety signals but also for identifying inverse associations and potential medication repurposing opportunities...

Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), comprising ILC1s and natural killer cells (NK cells), belong to a large family of developmentally related innate lymphoid cells that lack rearranged antigen-specific receptors. NK cells and ILC1s both require the transcription factor T-bet for lineage commitment but additionally rely on Eomes and Hobit, respectively, for their development and effector maturation programs. Both ILC1s and NK cells are essential for rapid responses against infections and mediate cancer immunity through production of effector cytokines and cytotoxicity mediators...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition where the central nervous system loses its myelin coating due to autoimmune inflammation. The experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) simulates some aspects of human MS. Boswellic acids are natural compounds derived from frankincense extract, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this research was to investigate therapeutic potential of boswellic acids. Mice were divided into three groups: low-dose (LD), high-dose (HD), and control groups (CTRL)...

In the FAERS database, this study extracted data from the third quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2023, totaling 6,749,750 AE reports. After data cleansing and drug screening, a total of 3633 AE reports related to istradefylline were included for analysis...

RORγt+ group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for intestinal homeostasis. Dysregulation of ILC3s has been found in the gut of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer, yet the specific mechanisms still require more investigation. Here we observe increased β-catenin in intestinal ILC3s from inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer patients compared with healthy donors. In contrast to promoting RORγt expression in T cells, activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in ILC3s suppresses RORγt expression, inhibits its proliferation and function, and leads to a deficiency of ILC3s and subsequent intestinal inflammation in mice...
