Olaparib treatment significantly improved objective response rate (primary end point) and progression-free survival versus nonplatinum chemotherapy in patients with BRCA-mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer in the open-label phase III SOLO3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02282020). We report final overall survival (OS; prespecified secondary end point), post hoc OS analysis by number of previous chemotherapy lines, and exploratory BRCA reversion mutation analysis. Two hundred sixty-six patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to olaparib tablets (300 mg twice daily; n = 178) or physician's choice of single-agent nonplatinum chemotherapy (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, paclitaxel, gemcitabine, or topotecan; n = 88). OS was similar with olaparib versus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR], 1.07 [95% CI, 0.76 to 1.49]; P = .71, median 34.9 and 32.9 months, respectively, full analysis set). OS with olaparib was favorable in patients with two previous chemotherapy lines (HR, 0.83 [olaparib v chemotherapy] [95% CI, 0.51 to 1.38]; median 37.9 v 28.8 months); however, a potential detrimental effect was seen in patients with at least three previous chemotherapy lines (HR, 1.33 [95% CI, 0.84 to 2.18]; median 29.9 v 39.4 months). BRCA reversion mutations might have contributed to this finding. No patient randomly assigned to olaparib with a BRCA reversion mutation detected at baseline (6 of 170 [3.5%]) achieved an objective tumor response.

BACKGROUND: Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV) is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor α (FRα), approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in the USA. Here, we report patient-reported outcomes for participants treated with MIRV compared with investigator's choice of chemotherapy from the phase 3 MIRASOL trial, which met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival and key secondary endpoints of objective response rate and overall survival. METHODS: The MIRASOL trial was a confirmatory, phase 3, randomised, controlled, open-label trial, building on the phase 2 SORAYA trial which had previously demonstrated the safety and efficacy of MIRV in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Patients 18 years or older with a confirmed platinum-resistant, recurrent high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer diagnosis were recruited from 253 sites including hospitals, academic centres, and community centres in 21 countries. Patients must have received one to three previous systemic anticancer therapies, and have high FRα tumour expression (≥75% tumour cells with an immunohistochemistry score of ≥2+ membrane staining using the PS2+ scoring method), one or more lesions with measurable disease, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to MIRV or investigator's choice of chemotherapy, stratified by number of previous therapy lines and the type of investigator's choice of chemotherapy. Therapies were administered in an open-label manner; MIRV was administered intravenously at 6 mg/kg of adjusted ideal bodyweight every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Key secondary endpoints were objective response rate, overall survival, and a 15·0-point or greater improvement at week 8 or 9 in abdominal and gastrointestinal symptoms using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Ovarian Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-OV28) in the intention-to-treat population. The MIRASOL trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04209855), the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG 3045), and the European Network of Gynaecological Oncological Trial Groups (ENGOT-ov55), and is complete. FINDINGS: Between Feb 3, 2020, and Aug 3, 2022, 453 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to treatment (227 to the MIRV group and 226 to the investigator's choice of chemotherapy group). All patients were female; 301 (66%) participants were White, 53 (12%) were Asian, 13 (3%) were Black, and 86 (19%) were of another race or not reported; 27 (6%) were Hispanic or Latino. The median follow-up for the study, determined by the reverse Kaplan-Meier method, was 13·1 months (95% CI 12·1-14). QLQ-OV28 completion rates were 86% (365 of 425) at baseline and 81% (282 of 349) at week 8 or 9. 34 (21·0%; 95% CI 15·0-28·1) of 162 patients treated with MIRV reported improvement in QLQ-OV28 abdominal and gastrointestinal scores, compared with 23 (15·3%; 10·0-22·1) of 150 patients treated with the investigator's choice of chemotherapy. These differences were not statistically significant (odds ratio 1·5 [95% CI 0·8-2·6]; p=0·26). INTERPRETATION: MIRV did not seem to impair or improve patient quality of life compared with investigator's choice of chemotherapy. The similar quality-of-life outcomes in the two treatment groups, combined with the previously reported higher efficacy of MIRV compared with single-agent chemotherapy, support MIRV as new treatment option for FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Enteroatmosferická píštěl (enteroatmospheric fistula – EAF) patří mezi nezávažnější a život ohrožující chirurgické komplikace, které výrazně zvyšují náklady na léčbu pacientů. Řadí se do skupiny pooperačních komplikací souhrnně označovaných jako abdominální katastrofy. EAF je specifický typ střevní píštěle, která vzniká otevřením střevního lumen do nezhojeného defektu břišní stěny, vedoucí k permanentní kontaminaci rány znemožňující její hojení. Léčba této komplikace bývá svízelná, dlouhodobá a vyžaduje multidisciplinární přístup ve třech různých fázích. V první fázi je cílem agresivní terapie abdominální sepse a ošetření jejího zdroje. Po stabilizaci pacienta přichází druhá, chronická fáze zaměřující se na péči o defekt a zvrat nutričního stavu z katabolizmu do anabolizmu. Po maturaci adhezí v dutině břišní, zhojení rány v okolí EAF a po adekvátní nutriční přípravě pacient podstupuje fázi rekonstrukční zahrnující obnovení kontinuity zažívacího traktu a rekonstrukci břišní stěny. Ve všech fázích je pacient ohrožen řadou vedlejších komplikací vycházejících z malnutrice a dlouhodobého pobytu na nemocničním lůžku. Nejdůležitější je proto dbát na prevenci vzniku EAF. Cílem této je práce je shrnout současná doporučení pro léčbu EAF a přiblížit některé z moderních postupů řešení EAF.

Enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) is one of the most severe and life-threatening surgical complications, significantly increasing the cost of patient treatment. It is classified as a postoperative complication, collectively referred to as abdominal catastrophes. EAF is a specific type of intestinal fistula that occurs when the intestinal lumen opens into an unhealed defect in the abdominal wall, leading to continuous wound contamination that complicates healing. Treatment of this complication is challenging, prolonged, and requires a multidisciplinary approach in three distinct phases. In the first phase, the goal is aggressive therapy of abdominal sepsis and management of its source. After stabilizing the patient, the second, chronic phase focuses on care for the defect and reversing the nutritional status from catabolism to anabolism. Following the maturation of adhesions in the abdominal cavity, healing of the wound around the EAF, and adequate nutritional preparation, the patient undergoes the reconstructive phase, which involves restoring the continuity of the digestive tract and reconstructing the abdominal wall. Throughout all phases, the patient is at risk for numerous secondary complications related to malnutrition and prolonged hospitalization. Therefore, preventing the development of EAF is of paramount importance. The aim of this paper is to summarize current recommendations for the treatment of EAF and discuss some of the modern approaches to managing this condition.

The circadian clock in choroid plexus (ChP) controls processes involved in its physiological functions, but the signals that synchronize the clock have been sparsely studied. We found that the ChP clock in the fourthventricle (4V) is more robust than that in the lateral ventricle (LV) and investigated whether both clocks use information about mealtime as a signal to synchronize with the current activity state. Exposure of mPer2Luc mice to a 10-day reverse restricted feeding (rRF) protocol, in which food was provided for 6 h during daytime, advanced the phase of the ChP clock in 4V and LV, as evidenced by shifted (1) PER2-driven bioluminescence rhythms of ChP explants ex vivo and (2) daily profiles in clock gene expression in both ChP tissues in vivo. In contrast, clocks in other brain regions (DMH, ARC, LHb) of the same mice did not shift. The 4V ChP responded more strongly than the LV ChP to rRF by modulating the expression of genes to ensure a decrease in resistance to cerebrospinal fluid drainage and increase the secretory capacity of ChP cells. Mechanistically, rRF affects the ChP clock through food-induced increases in insulin, glucose and temperature levels, as in vitro all three signals significantly shifted the clocks in both ChP tissues, similar to rRF. The effect of glucose was partially blocked by OSMI-1, suggesting involvement of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine posttranslational modification. We identified mechanisms that can signal to the brain the time of feeding and the associated activity state via resetting of the ChP clock.

Multidimensional chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), including simple sample preparation with protein precipitation, anion conversion with ammonium hydroxide, and solid-phase extraction using mixed-mode anion exchange in a 96-well plate format, has been validated for rapid simultaneous analysis of human insulin and its six analogs (lispro, glulisine, glargine, degludec, detemir, and aspart) in human plasma. This method is critical for clinical diagnostics, forensic investigations, and anti-doping efforts due to the widespread use of these substances. In the present study, improved chromatographic resolution was achieved using a first-dimension trap-and-elute configuration with an XBridge C18 (2.1 × 20 mm, 3.5 μm) trap column combined with second dimension separation on a Cortecs Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) C18+ (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.6 μm) analytical column implemented within a two-dimensional-LC-MS/MS system. The total chromatographic run time was 11 min. This setup increases both the resolution and sensitivity of the method. A mobile phase consisting of 0.8% formic acid (FA) in water and 0.7% FA in acetonitrile was used for gradient elution. Bovine insulin was used as the internal standard. MS detection was performed in positive electrospray ionization mode, and the ion suppression due to matrix effects was evaluated. Validation criteria included linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, lower limit of quantitation, matrix effect, and stability tests with and without protease inhibitor cocktail under different conditions (short-term stability, long-term stability, and freeze-thaw stability). The concentration range for all insulins was 50-15 000 pg/mL, with limits of quantification below the therapeutic reference range for all analytes. Intra-run precision ranged from 1.1% to 5.7%, inter-run precision from 0.7% to 5.9%, and overall recovery from 96.9% to 114.3%. The validated method has been implemented successfully by the Department of Forensic Medicine at our hospital for the investigation of unexplained deaths.

BACKGROUND: In the ARIEL4 trial of rucaparib versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in patients with relapsed BRCA-mutated ovarian carcinoma, the primary endpoint was met, showing improved investigator-assessed progression-free survival with rucaparib. Here, we present the final overall survival analysis of the trial and other post-progression outcomes. METHODS: This open-label, randomised, controlled phase 3 trial was done at 64 hospitals and cancer centres in 12 countries, including Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, the UK, and the USA. Eligible patients were women aged 18 or older with BRCA1 or BRCA2-mutated ovarian carcinoma and had received at least two previous chemotherapy regimens. Patients had to have evaluable disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST; version 1.1) criteria and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. Patients were randomly assigned (2:1) using an interactive response technology and block randomisation (block size of six) and stratified by progression-free interval after the most recent platinum-containing therapy to receive oral rucaparib (600 mg twice daily administered in 28-day cycles) or chemotherapy on the basis of platinum-sensitivity status. In the chemotherapy group, patients with platinum-resistant disease (progression-free interval ≥1 to <6 months) or partially platinum-sensitive disease (progression-free interval ≥6 to <12 months) received weekly paclitaxel (starting dose 60-80 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15). Patients with fully platinum-sensitive disease (progression-free interval ≥12 months) received the investigator's choice of platinum-based chemotherapy (single-agent cisplatin or carboplatin, or platinum-doublet chemotherapy), in 21-day or 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint (previously reported) was investigator-assessed progression-free survival, assessed in the efficacy population (all randomly assigned patients with deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations without reversion mutations) and in the intention-to-treat population (all randomly assigned patients). Overall survival was a prespecified secondary endpoint and was analysed in the intention-to-treat population. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of assigned study treatment. The cutoff date was April 10, 2022. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02855944; enrolment is complete and the study is closed. FINDINGS: Between March 1, 2017, and Sept 24, 2020, 349 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive rucaparib (n=233) or chemotherapy (n=116). 332 (95%) of 349 patients were white and 17 (5%) patients were other or of unknown race. In the chemotherapy group, 80 (69%) of 116 patients crossed over to receive rucaparib. Median follow-up was 41·2 months (IQR 37·8-44·6). At data cutoff for this final analysis (April 10, 2022), 244 (70%) of 349 patients had died: 167 (72%) of 233 in the rucaparib group and 77 (66%) of 116 in the rucaparib group. Median overall survival was 19·4 months (95% CI 15·2-23·6) in the rucaparib group versus 25·4 months (21·4-27·6) in the chemotherapy group (hazard ratio 1·3 [95% CI 1·0-1·7], p=0·047). No new safety signals were observed, including during crossover to rucaparib. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events across treatment groups included anaemia or decreased haemoglobin (reported in 59 [25%] of 232 patients in the rucaparib group and seven [6%] of 113 in the chemotherapy group), and neutropenia or decreased neutrophil count (in 26 [11%] of 232 in the rucaparib group and 16 [14%] of 113 patients in the chemotherapy group). Serious adverse events were reported in 66 (28%) of 232 patients in the rucaparib group and 14 (12%) of 113 patients in the chemotherapy group. Ten treatment-related deaths were reported in the rucaparib group, two of which were linked to judged to be related to rucaparib (cardiac disorder and myelodysplastic syndrome), and one death related to treatment was reported in the chemotherapy group, with no specific cause linked to the treatment. INTERPRETATION: These data highlight the need for a better understanding of the most appropriate treatment for patients who have progressed on a poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, and the optimal sequencing of chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors in advanced ovarian cancer.

Spontánní intracerebrální hemoragie (SICH) jsou spojeny s řadou rizikových faktorů, které můžeme rozdělit na faktory ovlivnitelné a neovlivnitelné. Jejich nejvýznamnějším rizikovým faktorem je arteriální hypertenze. Péče o pacienty se SICH musí být komplexní a multidisciplinární. V akutní fázi se stává imperativem snaha o co nejrychlejší korekci arteriální hypertenze a zvrácení účinku antikoagulační terapie. Do budoucna lze recentně očekávat dosažení lepšího výsledného klinického stavu u vybraných pacientů se supratentoriální (především lobární) SICH operovaných do 24 h s využitím minimálně invazivní parafascikulární chirurgie.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (SICH) are associated with a number of risk factors, which can be divided into controllable and uncontrollable factors. Their most important risk factor is arterial hypertension. The care for patients with SICH must be complex and multidisciplinary. In the acute phase, it becomes imperative to try to correct arterial hypertension and reverse the effect of anticoagulant therapy as quickly as possible. In the future, a better clinical outcome can recently be expected in selected patients with supratentorial (mainly lobar) SICH operated on within 24 h using minimally invasive parafascicular surgery.

Wild strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis were tested in an experimental hyperbaric chamber to determine the possible effect of hyperbaric oxygen on the susceptibility of these strains to the antibiotics ampicillin, ampicillin + sulbactam, cefazolin, cefuroxime, cefoxitin, gentamicin, sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim, colistin, oxolinic acid, ofloxacin, tetracycline, and aztreonam during their cultivation at 23 °C and 36.5 °C. Ninety-six-well inoculated microplates with tested antibiotics in Mueller-Hinton broth were cultured under standard incubator conditions (normobaric normoxia) for 24 h or in an experimental hyperbaric chamber (HAUX, Germany) for 24 h at 2.8 ATA of 100% oxygen (hyperbaric hyperoxia). The hyperbaric chamber was pressurised with pure oxygen (100%). Both cultures (normoxic and hyperoxic) were carried out at 23 °C and 36.5 °C to study the possible effect of the cultivation temperature. No significant differences were observed between 23 and 36.5 °C cultivation with or without the 2-h lag phase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis. Cultivation in a hyperbaric chamber at 23 °C and 36.5 °C with or without a 2-h lag phase did not produce significant changes in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis. For the tested strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the possible effect of hyperbaric oxygen on their antibiotic sensitivity could not be detected because the growth of these bacteria was completely inhibited by 100% hyperbaric oxygen at 2.8 ATA under all hyperbaric conditions tested at 23 °C and 36.5 °C. Subsequent tests with wild strains of pseudomonads, burkholderias, and stenotrophomonads not only confirmed the fact that these bacteria stop growing under hyperbaric conditions at a pressure of 2.8 ATA of 100% oxygen but also indicated that inhibition of growth of these bacteria under hyperbaric conditions is reversible.

The antioxidant activity of Scorzonera parviflora Jacq. roots were assessed by measuring their ability to scavenge ABTS and DPPH radicals. Bioactivity-guided fractionation was utilized to identify the compound(s) responsible for this activity. The most active phase, ethyl acetate, was isolated using column chromatography. The resulting fractions were then purified using preparative TLC on reverse phase and semi-preparative HPLC. The structures of the pure compounds were elucidated by spectral analysis (MS and 1H, 13C, 2D-NMR). Three undescribed phenolic acid derivatives, namely parvifloric acid A (1), B (2), and C (3), and one new sesquiterpene lactone, parviflorin (4) together with seven known compounds were isolated and identified as scopolin (5), scopoletin (6), caffeic acid (7), protocatechuic acid (8), 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (9) 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (10), and 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (11). Finally, the pure compounds obtained were tested to evaluate their antioxidant capacities, using ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging potencies. The highest activity was observed with 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid (10), followed by its methyl ester.

Background: The research is aimed at exploring the potential of marigold petal tea (MPT), rich in polyphenol contents, against oxidative stress and obesity in a rat model following a high-fat-sugar diet (HFSD). Methods: The MPT was prepared through the customary method of decoction and was subjected to analysis for its polyphenol composition using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Two specific doses of MPT, namely, 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (BW), were chosen for the study-referred to as MPT-250 and MPT-500, respectively. Result: The main phenolic acids and flavonoids identified in MPT, with concentrations exceeding 10 mg/100 mL of tea, included catechin, rutin, salicylic acid, gallic acid, sinapic acid, chlorogenic acid, cinnamic acid, and ellagic acid. The total phenolic (TP) and total flavonoid (TF) contents in MPT were measured to be 5.53 and 7.73 mg/g, respectively. Additionally, MPT demonstrated a 57.2% scavenging capacity with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical. Notably, the administration of a higher dose (MPT-500) showed a significant reduction in body mass index (BMI) and a 51.24% reduction in the rate of increase in BW compared to the HFSD group. The findings indicated that all the treatment groups, that is, orlistat treatment (OT), MPT-250, and MPT-500 groups, experienced reduced levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and markers of lipoproteins in contrast to the HFSD group. Moreover, MPT helped restore the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and reduced glutathione (GSH), thereby demonstrating its potential in combating oxidative stress. The MPT-500 group also displayed decreased liver and kidney weights and an improved atherogenic index when compared to the HFSD group. Conclusion: The results clearly indicate that a high dosage of MPT showed antiobesity activity which was comparable to the same effects produced by the conventional drug orlistat.
