Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become first-line drugs for cancer treatment. However, their clinical use is seriously hindered since many patients experience diarrhea after receiving TKIs. The mechanisms of TKI-associated diarrhea remain unclear. Most existing therapies are symptomatic treatments based on experience and their effects are unsatisfactory. Therefore, clarification of the mechanisms underlying diarrhea is critical to develop effective anti-diarrhea drugs. This article summarizes several potential mechanisms of TKI-associated diarrhea and reviews current treatment progress.

Quantitative volumetric computed tomography embolic analysis, the Qanadli score, biomarkers, and clinical prognosis in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Sci Rep 2022; 12:7620. [PMID: 35538102 PMCID: PMC9090848 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-11812-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Detailed descriptions of acute pulmonary emboli (PE) morphology, total embolic volume (TEV), and their effects upon patients’ clinical presentation and prognosis remain largely unexplored. We studied 201 subjects with acute PE to the emergency department of a single medical center from April 2009 to December 2014. Patient hemodynamics, Troponin I and D-dimer levels, echocardiography, and the 30-day, 90-day and long-term mortality were obtained. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of pulmonary structures and 3-dimensional measures of embolic burden were performed. The results showed a linear association between the greater TEV and each of the following 4 variables (increasing incidence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, higher systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP), greater RV diameter, and RV/left ventricular (LV) ratio (all p < 0.001)). Among the measures of CT and echocardiography, TEV and RV/LV ratio were significantly associated with impending shock. In backward stepwise logistic regression, TEV, age and respiratory rate remained independent associated with impending shock (OR: 1.58, 1.03, 1.18, respectively and all p < 0.005).Total embolic burden assessed by CT-based quantification serves as a useful index for stressed cardiopulmonary circulation condition and can provide insights into RV dysfunction and the prediction of impending shock.

Abstract
Objectives: Recently, there have been reports regarding the atrophy of various organs caused by molecular targeted drugs. We investigated morphological and clinical changes in the liver and pancreas caused by treatment with bevacizumab.Methods: We investigated 30 patients with colorectal cancer who received bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy (study group) and 11 patients with colorectal cancer who received chemotherapy without bevacizumab (control group) from 2010 to 2014. We obtained computed tomography data of the liver and pancreas and performed three-dimensional image analysis and volumetry. Laboratory data before and after chemotherapy were analyzed.Results: There was no significant difference in liver volume before and after bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy, but the pancreatic volume was found to be significantly reduced after bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy (57.9 ± 16 mL versus 47.4 ± 15.3 mL; p = .005). The liver and pancreatic volume did not change statistically in the control group. With regard to complete blood cell counts and laboratory data, no significant differences were observed in the leukocyte count and hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1c, triglyceride, albumin, and C-reactive protein levels. In contrast, there was a significant decrease in the platelet count, total cholesterol level and a significant increase in the amylase level. A chemotherapy regimen that included bevacizumab reduced pancreatic volume and significantly altered the morphology of the pancreas.Conclusions: Although bevacizumab caused atrophy of the pancreas and reduced pancreatic volume, pancreatic endocrine function showed no change. Future studies should investigate the survival rate and functional changes caused by bevacizumab treatment.

Sorafenib-induced Prostate Volume Reduction, a New Adverse Effect Detected by Imaging: A Pilot Study. J Belg Soc Radiol 2018; 102:69. [PMID: 30386849 PMCID: PMC6208293 DOI: 10.5334/jbsr.1607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Sorafenib has been used in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Sorafenib-associated organ reduction have been reported on imaging, such as thyroid, pancreas and muscle, but there has been no research on prostate volume reduction (PVR). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 26 patients (twenty with HCC and six patients with RCC) who underwent sorafenib therapy for 31 to 1225 days (median, 100 days). PVR was estimated by two independent readers using CT volumetry. Results The sum of all prostate volumes measured by reader 1 was 24.2 ± 13.8 cm3 on the baseline CT and 20.4 ± 10.6 cm3 on the follow-up CT (p < 0.001), and that measured by reader 2 was 22.3 ± 13.9 cm3 on the baseline CT and 19.2 ± 10.6 cm3 on the follow-up CT (p < 0.001). The concordance correlation coefficient for the prostate volume measured by the two readers was 0.95 on the baseline CT scans and 0.94 on the follow-up CT scans. Sorafenib-associated PVR demonstrated slight dependence to the exposure time (r = -0.23). One patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) showed PVR (from 80.4 to 61.5 cm3 [reader 1]; 83.4 to 61.6 cm3 [reader 2]) after sorafenib administration. Sorafenib-associated PVR occurred in patients both with and without underlying liver dysfunction with relative prostate volume changes of 86.7 ± 12.0% and 85.0 ± 9.0%, respectively. Conclusion Our study demonstrated significant PVR with sorafenib treatment in patients regardless of the presence of BPH and underlying liver dysfunction.

Abstract
The pancreas plays a central role in metabolism and is involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases. Pancreas volume is a holistic quantitative measure of pancreas size but the clinical relevance of pancreas volumetry is poorly understood. Areas covered: The aim was to systematically review studies in adults that used computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to measure pancreas volume in health and disease, to determine normal pancreas volume range, and to quantify changes in pancreas volume that are associated with disease. Expert commentary: The normal pancreas volume range in adults is 71-83 cm3, with no statistically significant difference between men and women. Type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes are associated with a progressively reduced pancreas volume. Overweight and obesity are associated with a progressively increased pancreas volume. There is a paucity of studies on pancreas volume in the setting of diseases of the exocrine pancreas, which should become a research priority in the future.
