Introduction. Neurotoxicity is a common complication of chemotherapy that negatively affects the quality of life of cancer patients. Damage to the nervous system affects both the peripheral nerves (peripheral neuropathy) and the central nervous system (chemo b…
Aim of the study. The possibility of using antitumor drugs against the background of active tuberculosis is an unresolved problem of modern medicine. The aim of the experimental study was to study the course of tuberculosis infection against the background of …
The purpose of the study. To analyze scientific data on the molecular targets and mechanisms of action of key natural bioactive substances used to support cancer patients after chemotherapy and radiation therapy in the framework of personalized medicine. Perso…
Introduction. Treatment of the coexistent pathology of lung cancer and tuberculosis remains the prerogative of experimental research, since the optimal treatment strategy for the coexistence of these two diseases has not yet been developed. The purpose was to …
Introduction. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is recognized as a promising direction for the treatment of diseases with a predominance of inflammation and sclerosis in the pathogenesis, which includes nephrotuberculosis (NT). Target. Studying the effe…
Introduction. Overcoming resistance to anticancer drugs in the treatment of malignant neoplasms is an urgent problem of recent decades. Unfortunately, there is no single mechanism for the development of resistance. Alterations that occur in a normal cell durin…
Background. Low sensitivity of bone tumors to various schemes of standard chemotherapy stimulated the search of new targets for their medicamentous treatment. Among such targets are the so-called “immune checkpoints” promoting the escape of the tumor from the …
Introduction. Small cell lung cancer (SCLS) is a highly aggressive type of tumor, and various compounds are considered as potential biochemical markers of its prognosis, including neuron-specific enolase (NSE), chromogranin A (CgA), and prograstrin releasing p…
Introduction. The cytostatics, inhibiting the cellular proliferation, are using in clinic for the inhibition of tumor development in patients. However, the adverse events can occur because of the damage of health cells of other tissues. A delay or decrease of …
Introduction. The main function of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is inhibition of neutrophil elastinase and control over TNFα secretion. Anti-inflammatory properties of A1AT are manifested in leucocyte migration decrease and proliferation of T-lymphocytes through…
Introduction. The brain injury induced during radiotherapy and chemotherapy is largely dependent on a disruption of neurogenesis in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus as a result of the neural stem cells (NSCs) damage. The aim of the …
Introduction. Despite the continuous improvement of the surgical method of treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), there is no noticeable tendency to improve survival data. This 5-year index does not exceed 15–25%. In this regard, it is …
Surgery results of the treatment of the stage II–III lung cancer remains to be unsatisfactory, and used the chemotherapy fails to improve the survival. The main obstacle is the use of standard clinical parameters for the treatment strategy and not enough effec…
Introduction. Search for correct markers for diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of the effectiveness of chemotherapy is the most important problem of the modern oncohematology. The aim. To determine the clinical relevance of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)…
Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare, aggressive intraocular malignant tumor, leading to metastatic disease in more than 50% of patients. Cytogenetic and molecular studies have identified some genetic prognostic factors considered to be reliable to forecast the survi…
In the context of the continuing importance of the problem of tuberculosis there must be the selection both of priority areas to combat it, and priority category of patients. The most common form of TB among new cases is infiltrative and successful treatment o…
At present, various antineoplastic agents are widely used to treat cancer. There are certain problems associated with their use, such as the inhibition of the pool of dividing cells, poor tolerance and efficiency. Targeted therapy also has several disadvantage…
Energy supply of cells can be provided through both an oxygen-dependent pathway of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and oxygenindependent glycolysis. Oxidative phosphorylation in the synthesis of ATP is more efficient than in glycolysis, and respectivel…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) – small non-coding RNAs targeting multiple mRNAs – are posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression involved in carcinogenesis, metastasis, and invasion. MiRNAs expression is altered in various human tumors including ovarian cancer. Ana…
Genes encoding proteins of IAP (Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins) have increased expression in the cells of malignant tumors of different localizations. IAPs perform several functions related to the viability of cancer cells and their subsequent proliferation. …
