Purpose ROS1 rearrangement is a distinct molecular subset of non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We investigated the efficacy and safety ceritinib in patients with ROS1-rearranged NSCLC. Patients Methods enrolled 32 advanced NSCLC who tested positive for by fluorescent situ hybridization. Ceritinib 750 mg was administered once daily. The primary end point objective response rate. secondary points were disease control rate; duration response; progression-free survival; overall toxicity;...
BACKGROUND Salivary gland cancers (SGCs) are uncommon and account for less than 5% of all head neck cancers, but they histologically heterogeneous. No specific therapy, including targeted agents, has consistently improved clinical outcomes in recurrent/metastatic SGC. Recent studies suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) platelet‐derived (PDGFR) play important roles Nintedanib is a potent small‐molecule, triple‐receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGFR1, VEGFR2,...

Imatinib mesylate is the first molecule of targeted therapy in chronic myelogenous leukaemia inhibiting constitutively activated BCR-ABL kinase. There are no long-term follow-up studies large sample sizes to assess toxicity use imatinib over 10 years. Several cases hepatotoxicity, including fatal liver failure, have been associated with mesylate. We report here on a patient who experienced immediate dominant cholestatic damage and mild hepatocyte during therapy. This differs from most...
The pyrimidine antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapeutic agent used widely for various tumors. Common side effects of 5-FU are related to its on the bone marrow and gastrointestinal epithelium. Neurotoxicity caused by uncommon, although acute delayed forms have been reported. Wernicke's encephalopathy an acute, neuropsychiatric syndrome resulting from thiamine deficiency, has significant morbidity mortality. Central nervous system neurotoxicity such as following chemotherapy...

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have various potential applications in fuel cells and solar cells. In this regard, the physicochemical properties of an organic-inorganic [NH3(CH2)6NH3]CuCl4 crystal was conducted. The crystals had a monoclinic structure with space group P21/n lattice constants = 7.2224 Å, b 7.6112 c 23.3315 β 91.930°, Z 4 at 300 K, phase transition temperature (T C) determined to be 363 K by X-ray diffraction differential scanning calorimetry experiments. From nuclear...
Abstract Poly(amic acid) (PAA) is prepared by the reaction of dianhydride 4,4′-biphthalic anhydride and diamine bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]sulfone in N,N’ -dimethylacetamide. Two types fillers were dispersed as-synthesized PAA via a solution intercalation method; polyimide (PI) hybrid films synthesized under various heat treatment conditions. Octylamine (C8) was introduced into graphene sheets (C8-GS) bentonite (C8-BTN), which then used as nanofillers PI films. The varying amounts...
Single-site, single-system Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) of the rib is one rarest causes bone tumor in adults. Herein, we report a case healthy 35-year-old male who presented with upper back pain that was attributed to solitary osteolytic lesion at posterolateral aspect his sixth rib. For diagnostic confirmation and treatment, partial resection performed pathologic finding consistent LCH. At final follow-up after 2 years, no local recurrence or metastasis observed.
The structures and phase transitions of [NH3(CH2)nNH3]MnCl4 (n = 2, 3, 4) crystals were confirmed through X-ray diffraction differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments. Thermodynamic properties, ferroelastic molecular dynamics three studied as a function the number (n) CH2 groups in alkylene chains. loss weight due to decrease n marked onset partial thermal decomposition. decomposition temperature, Td, increased with increasing length chain. While twin domain walls for 2 4 same...
Poly(amic acid) (PAA) was synthesized from dianhydride 4,4-(4,4-isopropylidenediphenoxy)bis(phthalic anhydride) and diamine bis [4-(3-aminophenoxy) phenyl] sulfone. Colorless transparent polyimide (CPI) hybrid films were through thermal imidization after dispersing nanofillers using an intercalation method in a PAA solution. C16-GS C16-MMT, which hexadecylamine (C16) substituted on graphene sheet (GS) montmorillonite (MMT), respectively, used as to reinforce the CPI films. These two admixed...
Introduction: The ROR1-targeting antibody-drug conjugate zilovertamab vedotin (ZV) had a manageable safety profile and promising antitumor activity in patients (pts) with R/R NHL the phase 1 waveLINE-001 study (NCT03833180). We present updated results after 14 months of follow-up for pts diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell (MCL), Richter transformation (RT). Methods: Eligible were ≥18 y; histologic diagnosis an ECOG PS 0–2. Pts must have disease progression during or relapse...
