Abstract
CONTEXT Insulinomas are relatively rare neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas. Only 10% are considered malignant. Control of insulin hypersecretion and hypoglycemia in patients with malignant insulinomas may be extremely difficult. Different medications and chemotherapy schedules have been used. PATIENTS Five patients with metastatic insulinomas and severe, poorly controllable, hypoglycemia are described. These patients required continuous glucose infusion to control severe hypoglycemia, which were induced by the high levels of insulin secretion. Conventional medications, such as diazoxide, or streptozotocin-based chemotherapies had been used to control hypoglycemia but were ineffective and/or produced adverse effects. All patients were treated with sc octreotide. INTERVENTION Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with radiolabeled-somatostatin analogs was used. RESULTS After the start of radiolabeled somatostatin analog therapy, the five patients with metastatic insulinomas had stable disease for a mean period of 27 months. During these months, the patients were without any hypoglycemic episodes. Finally, three of five patients died because of progressive disease. CONCLUSIONS Radiolabeled somatostatin analog therapy can stabilize tumor growth and can be very successful in further controlling severe hypoglycemia in malignant insulinomas. In our series, this eventually resulted in improved survival outside the hospital setting.

Abstract
A total of 856 diabetic patients were evaluated for pharmacotherapy-based problems like for possible drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, and other mismatches, if any. Poor correlation between the advised insulin therapy and patients’ fasting blood glucose levels (12%, n=103) was observed. To most of the patients (41.66%, n= 357), insulin therapy was advised in combination with glucocorticoides, thiazides diuretics, and propranolol. Prescribing beta blocker (propranolol) with insulin is contraindicated. The higher incidence of diabetic foot patients was in the mean age of 57±3.4 years that was controlled with combination therapy of insulin and oral antidiabetics (63.0%, n=516). 11.1% of the treated patients could not take the prescribed therapy due to poor acceptance of insulin therapy due to its syringe needle prick. 41.66% risks of potential drug interactions, 7.93% adverse drug reactions, and 6.6% mismatches were recorded, as per the international approved algorithm, for managing a diabetes mellitus that reflects poor health care system. All these events necessitate for coordinating with other health professionals to make the therapy safer in the better interest of the patients. It is concluded that in practice prescribing pattern carries more risks for patients. It is imperative to improve the practice of pharmacotherapeutics rather than to practice in routine.

Abstract
Split-hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is a rare limb developmental malformation, characterized by variable degree of median clefts of hands and feet due to the absence of central rays of extremities. To date, six different forms of SHFM have been described. Four of these SHFM1, SHFM3, SHFM4 and SHFM5 show autosomal dominant, SHFM6 autosomal recessive and SHFM2 X-linked pattern of inheritance. In this study a large consanguineous Pakistani family, with autosomal recessive SHFM, appeared in the last two generations, was investigated. In total 15 individuals including 9 males and 6 females were affected with the syndrome. Affected members of the family exhibited SHFM phenotype with involvement of hands and feet. Most of the affected members showed syndactyly/polydactyly in hands and feet, dysplastic hand, aplasia of radial ray of hand and cleft foot. Investigating linkage to known autosomal SHFM loci mapped the family to SHFM6 locus on chromosome 12p11.1-q13.13. Mutation screening of the gene WNT10B revealed a novel sequence variant (c.986C>G, p.Thr329Arg) in all affected individuals who were studied. This is the third mutation reported in gene WNT10B causing autosomal recessive SHFM syndrome.

Abstract
Mutations in the TMPRSS3 gene are known to cause autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI). After undergoing a genome scan, 10 consanguineous Pakistani families with ARNSHI were found to have significant or suggestive evidence of linkage to the TMPRSS3 region. In order to elucidate if the TMPRSS3 gene is responsible for ARNSHI in these families, the gene was sequenced using DNA samples from these families. Six TMPRSS3 variants were found to cosegregate in 10 families. None of these variants were detected in 500 control chromosomes. Four novel variants, three of which are missense [c.310G>A (p.Glu104Lys), c.767C>T (p.Ala256Val) and c.1273T>C (p.Cys425Arg)] and one nonsense [c.310G>T (p.Glu104Stop)], were identified. The pathogenicity of novel missense variants was investigated through bioinformatics analyses. Additionally, the previously reported deletion c.208delC (p.His70ThrfsX19) was identified in one family and the known mutation c.1219T>C (p.Cys407Arg) was found in five families, which makes c.1219T>C (p.Cys407Arg) as the most common TMPRSS3 mutation within the Pakistani population. Identification of these novel variants lends support to the importance of elements within the low-density lipoprotein receptor A (LDLRA) and serine protease domains in structural stability, ligand binding and proteolytic activity for proper TMPRSS3 function within the inner ear.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) results from the loss of dopamine neurons located in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) that project to the striatum. A therapeutic has yet to be identified that halts this neurodegenerative process, and as such, development of a brain penetrant small molecule neuroprotective agent would represent a significant advancement in the treatment of the disease. To fill this void we developed an aminopyrimidine JNK inhibitor (SR-3306) that reduced the loss of dopaminergic cell bodies in the SNpc and their terminals in the striatum produced by unilateral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the nigrostriatal pathway. Administration of SR-3306 [10 mg/kg/day (s.c.) for 14 days] increased the number of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive (TH(+)) neurons in the SNpc by six-fold and reduced the loss of the TH(+) terminals in the striatum relative to the corresponding side of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats that received only vehicle (p<0.05). In addition, SR-3306 [10 mg/kg/day (s.c.) for 14 days] decreased d-amphetamine-induced circling by 87% compared to 6-OHDA-lesioned animals given vehicle. Steady-state brain levels of SR-3306 at day 14 were 347 nM, which was approximately two-fold higher than the cell-based IC(50) for this compound. Finally, immunohistochemical staining for phospho-c-jun (p-c-jun) revealed that SR-3306 [10 mg/kg/day (s.c.) for 14 days] produced a 2.3-fold reduction of the number of immunoreactive neurons in the SNpc relative to vehicle treated rats. Collectively, these data suggest that orally bioavailable JNK inhibitors may be useful neuroprotective agents for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
