Abstract
ABSTRACT Exercise preconditioning has been shown to protect against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiac dysfunction when hearts are maintained under resting conditions. However, it is unclear whether this exercise-induced protective effect is maintained when the heart is challenged with the β 1 -adrenergic receptor agonist dobutamine (DOB), which mimics acute exercise stress. Fischer 344 rats were randomly assigned to sedentary (SED) or voluntary wheel running (WR) groups for 10 weeks. At week 11, rats were treated with either 15 mg/kg DOX or saline. Five days later, ex vivo cardiac function was assessed using an isolated working heart model at baseline, during the infusion of 7.5 μg·kg -1 ·min -1 DOB, and during recovery. DOB infusion significantly increased left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), maximal (dP/dt max ) and minimal (dP/dt min ) rate of left ventricular pressure development, and heart rate in all groups ( P < 0.05). SED + DOX also showed a lower baseline and recovery LVDP than WR + DOX (83 ± 12 vs. 109 ± 6 mm Hg baseline, 76 ± 11 vs. 100 ± 10 mm Hg recovery, P < 0.05). WR + DOX showed higher dP/dt max and lower dP/dt min when compared with SED + DOX during DOB infusion (7311 ± 1481 vs. 5167 ± 1436 mm Hg/s and -4059 ± 1114 vs.-3158 ± 1176 mm Hg/s, respectively). SED + DOX dP/dt max was significantly lower during baseline and during recovery when compared with all other groups ( P < 0.05). These data suggest that exercise preconditioning preserved cardiac function after DOX exposure even when the heart is challenged with DOB, and it appeared to preserve the heart's ability to recover from this functional challenge.

Left Atrial Strain as a Predictor of Early Anthracycline-Induced Chemotherapy-Related Cardiac Dysfunction: A Pilot Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3904. [PMID: 38999470 PMCID: PMC11242155 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) significantly affects patients undergoing anthracycline (AC) therapy, with a prevalence ranging from 2% to 20%. Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) are prognostic parameters for CTRCD detection. Our study aimed to investigate the role of emerging parameters such as left atrial strain (LAS). Methods: We searched multiple databases for studies comparing LAS changes post-AC versus pre-AC therapy in patients with cancer. Primary outcomes included left atrial reservoir strain (LASr), left atrial conduit strain (LAScd), and left atrial contractile strain (LASct). RevMan (v5.4) was used to pool the standardized mean difference (SMD) under a random effects model, with p < 0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance. Results: In an analysis of 297 patients across five studies, AC therapy significantly lowered LASr (SMD = -0.34, 95% CI:-0.55, -0.14, I2 = 0%, p = 0.0009) and LAScd (SMD = -0.41, 95% CI: -0.59, -0.23, I2 = 0%, p < 0.00001) levels. Conversely, LASct demonstrated no significant change (SMD = 0.01, 95% CI: -0.21, 0.23, I2 = 9%, p = 0.95). AC therapy also significantly reduced LV GLS (SMD = -0.31, 95% CI: -0.51, -0.11, I2 = 0%, p = 0.003). While not statistically significant, LVEF decreased (SMD = -0.20, 95% CI: -0.42, 0.03, I2 = 0%, p = 0.09), and left atrial volume index trended higher (SMD = 0.07, 95% CI: -0.14, 0.27, I2 = 0%, p = 0.52) after AC therapy. Conclusions: AC treatment led to reduced LAS and LV GLS values, indicating its potential as an early CTRCD indicator. Larger trials are required to fully explore their clinical significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few data assessing the risk of death and cardiovascular events in patients with lymphoma. AIM Using a nationwide hospitalization database, we aimed to address cardiovascular outcomes in patients with lymphoma. METHODS From 01 January to 31 December 2013, 3,381,472 adults were hospitalized in French hospitals; 22,544 of these patients had a lymphoma. The outcome analysis (all-cause or cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, bleedings, new-onset heart failure and new-onset atrial fibrillation) was performed over a 5-year follow-up period. Each patient with lymphoma was matched with a patient without a lymphoma or other cancer (1:1). A competing risk analysis was also performed. RESULTS After adjustment on all risk factors, cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular co-morbidities, the subdistribution hazard ratios for all-cause death, major bleeding, intracranial bleeding, new-onset heart failure and new-onset atrial fibrillation were higher in patients with lymphoma; conversely, the subdistribution hazard ratios for cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke were lower in patients with lymphoma. In the matched analysis, the risk of all-cause death (subdistribution hazard ratio 1.936, 95% confidence interval 1.881-1.992) and major bleeding (subdistribution hazard ratio 1.117, 95% confidence interval 1.049-1.188) remained higher in patients with lymphoma. CONCLUSION In this large nationwide cohort study, patients with lymphoma had a higher incidence of all-cause death and major bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical application of anthracycline chemotherapy is hindered due to the cumulative dose-dependent cardiotoxicity followed by the oxidative stress initiated during the mechanism of action of anthracyclines. Due to a lack of prevalence data regarding anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in Sri Lanka, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of cardiotoxicity among breast cancer patients in Southern Sri Lanka in terms of electrocardiographic and cardiac biomarker investigations. METHODS A cross-sectional study with longitudinal follow-up was conducted among 196 cancer patients at the Teaching Hospital, Karapitiya, Sri Lanka to determine the incidence of acute and early-onset chronic cardiotoxicity. Data on electrocardiography and cardiac biomarkers were collected from each patient, one day before anthracycline (doxorubicin and epirubicin) chemotherapy, one day after the first dose, one day and six months after the last dose of anthracycline chemotherapy. RESULTS Prevalence of sub-clinical anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity six months after the completion of anthracycline chemotherapy was significantly higher (p < 0.05) and there were strong, significant (p < 0.05) associations among echocardiography, electrocardiography measurements and cardiac biomarkers including troponin I and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptides. The cumulative anthracycline dose, > 350 mg/m2 was the most significant risk factor associated with the sub-clinical cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients under study. CONCLUSION Since these results confirmed the unavoidable cardiotoxic changes following anthracycline chemotherapy, it is recommended to carry out long-term follow-ups in all patients who were treated with anthracycline therapy to increase their quality of life as cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced cardiotoxicity (DICT) is one of the most serious adverse drug reactions, which is an important safety issue in drug development and clinical practice. This study aimed to summarize the knowledge structure and to detect emerging trends, and provide ideas for future research on DICT in children using bibliometric methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS All publications on DICT in children were retrieved through the Web of Science Core Collection up to April 20, 2022. The document type was restricted to articles with the language set to English. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to conduct this bibliometric analysis. RESULTS A total of 298 articles were included, and the annual publications decreased since 2021. The United States was the leading country with the most publications (117), the highest centrality (0.39), and total citations (4055). The most influential institution was the University of British Columbia, while Carleton BC and Rassekh SR, both from Canada, were the most productive authors, but there was no leader in this field. The keywords with both high frequency and high centrality after excluding "cardiotoxicity" and "children" were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Freq=43, Central=0.15), childhood cancer (Freq=42, Central=0.13), toxicity (Freq=33, Central=0.16), and breast cancer (Freq=29, Central=0.19). "Adriamycin cardiotoxicity" was the first burst keyword, while "childhood cancer", "oxidative stress", and "cardiac dysfunction" were emerging research hotspots. CONCLUSIONS Attention to DICT in children was insufficient. This study serves as a breakthrough point, providing a comprehensive overview of the knowledge structure, development landscape, and future opportunities in this field.

Abstract
Background Pirarubicin (THP) is an anthracycline antibiotic used to treat various malignancies in humans. The clinical usefulness of THP is unfortunately limited by its dose-related cardiotoxicity. Ginsenoside F1 (GF1) is a metabolite formed when the ginsenosides Re and Rg1 are hydrolyzed. However, the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of GF1 on THP-induced cardiotoxicity remain unclear. Methods We investigated the anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative stress effects of GF1 on an in vitro model, using H9c2 cells stimulated by THP, plus trigonelline or AKT inhibitor imidazoquinoxaline (IMQ), as well as an in vivo model using THP-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), creatine kinase (CK-MB), cardiac troponin (c-TnT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) were determined. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived2)-like 2 (Nrf2) and the expression of Nrf2 target genes, including heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutathione-S-transferase (Gst), glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM), and expression levels of AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathway proteins were detected using Western blot analysis. Results THP-induced myocardial histopathological damage, electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, and cardiac dysfunction were reduced in vivo by GF1. GF1 also decreased MDA, BNP, CK-MB, c-TnT, and LDH levels in the serum, while raising SOD and GSH levels. GF1 boosted Nrf2 nuclear translocation and Nrf2 target gene expression, including HO-1, Gst, and GCLM. Furthermore, GF1 regulated apoptosis by activating AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathways. Employing Nrf2 inhibitor trigonelline and AKT inhibitor IMQ revealed that GF1 lacked antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects. Conclusion In conclusion, GF1 was found to alleviate THP-induced cardiotoxicity via modulating Nrf2 and AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathways, ultimately alleviating myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
Background Cardiotoxicity as a result of anthracycline chemotherapy has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality in breast cancer patients. There is a need for early detection through risk factor identification. To date, no large multicenter study has been conducted to describe the incidence, risk factors and clinical and demographic profiles of breast cancer patients with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) in the Philippines. Methods This was a nationwide multicenter retrospective cohort study among adult breast cancer patients who underwent anthracycline chemotherapy from 2015 to 2020 in 10 sites in the Philippines. Baseline characteristics and possible risk factors for AIC were retrieved from medical records and cancer registries. AIC was defined as a reduction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by > 10% from baseline to a value of < 53% or the development of overt left ventricular systolic dysfunction or heart failure (HF). Odds ratios from logistic regression were computed to determine risk factors associated with AIC using STATA-15.0 software. Results Out of 341 patients included, 33 had AIC, accounting for an incidence of 9.68%. Nine patients (2.6%) had clinical HF. AIC patients had a mean age of 53.91 ± 10.84 years. Breast cancer AIC patients were significantly older and had lower body mass index (BMI) than those without AIC. AIC patients had significantly more comorbidities, especially hypertension and atrial fibrillation. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with any preexisting comorbidity are approximately 12.37 times as likely to have AIC, while those with concurrent chemotherapy are 0.07 times or 93% less likely to have AIC. Conclusion Among adult breast cancer patients undergoing anthracycline chemotherapy, we determined a high incidence of cardiotoxicity at 9.68%. Having preexisting comorbidities gave patients 12 times increased odds of developing anthracycline cardiotoxicity. The presence of concurrent non-anthracycline chemotherapy showed an inverse association with the development of AIC which we attribute largely to patient selection in a retrospective study. The significantly higher propensity for AIC development in patients with preexisting comorbidities may warrant closer monitoring and control of patient comorbidities such as hypertension among patients undergoing anthracycline chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is the major side effect of anthracyclines (doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin, and idarubicin), though being the most commonly used chemotherapy drugs and the mainstay of therapy in solid and hematological neoplasms. Advances in the field of cardio-oncology have expanded our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). AIC has a complex pathogenesis that includes a variety of aspects such as oxidative stress, autophagy, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has strongly suggested that the loss of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) plays an important role in the progression of AIC. Mitochondria are vital organelles in the cardiomyocytes that serve as the key regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, energy metabolism, cell death, and calcium buffering. However, as mitochondria are susceptible to damage, the MQC system, including mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission), mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitochondrial protein quality control, appears to be crucial in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. In this review, we summarize current evidence on the role of MQC in the pathogenesis of AIC and highlight the therapeutic potential of restoring the cardiomyocyte MQC system in the prevention and intervention of AIC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Over the past five decades, the diagnosis and management of children with various malignancies have improved tremendously. As a result, an increasing number of children are long-term cancer survivors. With improved survival, however, has come an increased risk of treatment-related cardiovascular complications that can appear decades later. AREAS COVERED This review discusses the pathophysiology, epidemiology and effects of treatment-related cardiovascular complications from anthracyclines and radiotherapy in pediatric lymphoma survivors. There is a paucity of evidence-based recommendations for screening for and treatment of cancer therapy-induced cardiovascular complications. We discuss current preventive measures and strategies for their treatment. EXPERT OPINION Significant cardiac adverse effects occur due to radiation and chemotherapy received by patients treated for lymphoma. Higher lifetime cumulative doses, female sex, longer follow-up, younger age, and preexisting cardiovascular disease are associated with a higher incidence of cardiotoxicity. With deeper understanding of the mechanisms of these adverse cardiac effects and identification of driver mutations causing these effects, personalized cancer therapy to limit cardiotoxic effects while ensuring an adequate anti-neoplastic effect would be ideal. In the meantime, expanding the use of cardioprotective agents with the best evidence such as dexrazoxane should be encouraged and further studied.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are among the most used chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer (BC). However their use is hampered by anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). The currently known clinical and genetic risk factors do not fully explain the observed inter-individual variability and only have a limited ability to predict which patients are more likely to develop this severe toxicity. To identify novel predictive genes, we conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study in epirubicin-treated BC patients. In the discovery phase, we genotyped over 700,000 single nucleotide variants in a cohort of 227 patients. The most interesting finding was rs62134260, located 4kb upstream of POLRMT (OR = 5.76, P = 2.23 × 10-5). We replicated this association in a validation cohort of 123 patients (P = 0.021). This variant regulates the expression of POLRMT, a gene that encodes a mitochondrial DNA-directed RNA polymerase, responsible for mitochondrial gene expression. Individuals harbouring the risk allele had a decreased expression of POLRMT in heart tissue that may cause an impaired capacity to maintain a healthy mitochondrial population in cardiomyocytes under stressful conditions, as is treatment with epirubicin. This finding suggests a novel molecular mechanism involved in the development of AIC and may improve our ability to predict patients who are at risk.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most commonly used and effective chemotherapy drugs among anthracyclines. An inherent limitation of DOX is its nonspecificity, which can cause serious side effects, thereby preventing the therapeutic use of high drug doses. In this study, we designed and created a simple nano-drug delivery system (PEG-MAF = P) with low biological toxicity that was responsive to the tumor environment. PEG-MAF = P was designed to self-assemble into nanospheres via control of a phenylalanine dipeptide (FF). The N-terminus of the peptide was linked to aldehyde groups at both ends of oxidized Pluronic F127 (F127-CHO) via Schiff bonds. The acidic environment surrounding the tumors was suitable for triggering the Schiff bonds, causing the nanospheres to disintegrate. The C-terminus of FF was connected to a ligand peptide, ATN-161, which was able to recognize cells expressing high levels of integrin α5β1 antigens both in vivo and in vitro. To prevent the impediment in drug release, PEG was linked via a matrix metalloproteinase-9 response peptide. Therefore, in an acidic tumor microenvironment containing MMP-9, PEG-MAF = P disintegrated and rapidly released the drug. PEG-MAF = P exhibited low cytotoxicity, high drug-loading rate, and excellent antitumor properties both in vivo and in vitro. Compared with free DOX, PEG-MAF = P-DOX reduced injury to normal tissues.

Abstract
Background: Several cardiovascular risk factors have been suggested to be associated with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, but their quantitative effects have not reached a consensus. Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for manuscripts published from inception to February 2021, which reported the results of cardiotoxicity due to anthracycline chemotherapy without trastuzumab. Cardiotoxicity defined by any reduction of left ventricular eject fraction (LVEF) to below 50% or a >10% reduction from baseline was defined as the primary endpoint. Odd ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a random-effects model meta-analysis. Results: A total of 7,488 patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy without trastuzumab were included, who had at least one risk factor at baseline. Hypertension (OR: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.43–2.76), diabetes mellitus (OR: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.11–2.74), and obesity (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.13–2.61) were associated with increased risk of cardiotoxicity. In addition, the relative reduction of global longitudinal strain (GLS) from baseline after anthracycline treatment could significantly improve the detection ability of cardiotoxicity (28.5%, 95% CI: 22.1–35.8% vs. 16.4%, 95% CI: 13.4–19.9%) compared with LVEF. The early detection rate of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (3 months after chemotherapy) by GLS was 30.2% (95% CI: 24.9–36.1%), which is similar with the overall result of GLS. Conclusions: Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity are associated with increased risk of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, which indicates that corresponding protective strategies should be used during and after anthracycline treatment. The findings of higher detection rate and better early detection ability for cardiotoxicity than LVEF added new proofs for the advantages of GLS in detection of AIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Follicular lymphoma (FL) occurs predominantly at advanced age, with an annual incidence of 3-5 cases per 100 000 inhabitants in Western countries. The clinical course is heterogeneous. METHODS For this new guideline, systematic literature searches were conducted in medical databases (MEDLINE, PubMed Central) (up to November 2017) and in the Guidelines International Network (G-I-N), and recent publications were added. RESULTS The results of 21 systematic reviews with meta-analyses, 75 randomized controlled trials, and 58 prospective and retrospective studies were evaluated. Lymph-node biopsy is necessary for initial diagnosis of FL. CT scanning of the neck, thorax, and abdomen should be performed to assess how far the disease has spread, together with bone marrow biopsy and, if required, PET/CT. In early FL (stages I and II; 10-15 %), potentially curative radiotherapy combined with an anti-CD 20 antibody is recommended. In advanced disease (stages III and IV), watchful waiting is indicated for patients who have no clinical symptoms and a low tumor burden. Patients with clinical symptoms and/or high tumor burden should receive chemotherapy in combination with an anti-CD 20 antibody, followed by 2 years' maintenance treatment with an anti-CD 20 antibody. CONCLUSION Given the good long-term prognosis of FL, the treatment must be chosen with care and thorough follow-up is necessary to ensure detection of late sequelae such as second malignancies or organ damage.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity in chemotherapy is a major treatment drawback. Clinical trials on the cardioprotective effects of exercise in cancer patients have not yet been published. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical studies for to assess the efficacy of exercise training on DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. We included studies with animal models of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy and exercise training from PubMed, Web of Sciences and Scopus databases. The outcome was the mean difference (MD) in fractional shortening (FS, %) assessed by echocardiography between sedentary and trained DOX-treated animals. Trained DOX-treated animals improved 7.40% (95% CI 5.75-9.05, p < 0.001) in FS vs. sedentary animals. Subgroup analyses revealed a superior effect of exercise training execution prior to DOX exposure (MD = 8.20, 95% CI 6.27-10.13, p = 0.010). The assessment of cardiac function up to 10 days after DOX exposure and completion of exercise protocol was also associated with superior effect size in FS (MD = 7.89, 95% CI 6.11-9.67, p = 0.020) vs. an echocardiography after over 4 weeks. Modality and duration of exercise, gender and cumulative DOX dose did were not individually associated with changes on FS. Exercise training is a cardioprotective approach in rodent models of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. Exercise prior to DOX exposure exerts greater effect sizes on FS preservation.

Abstract
Aim To study the effect of cardioprotective tactics on parameters of left ventricular myocardial perfusion and contractility as per data from single-photon emission computed tomography in oncological patients with signs of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.Material and methods The study included patients with oncological diseases (n=61) referred to polychemotherapy (PCT). For patients with signs of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, a cardioprotective tactics was used, which included changing the PCT schedule and administering beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. For all patients at baseline, after the first four PCH courses, after initiation of the cardioprotective tactics and the next four PTC courses, the level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide was measured and echocardiography and perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography were performed with assessment of left ventricular (LV) perfusion heterogeneity, systolic and diastolic function.Results Following four PTC courses, signs of cardiotoxicity were detected in 13 (21.3 %) patients. On the background of the cardioprotective tactics, a further decrease in LV ejection fraction (EF) by -9±2 % (p<0.01) was observed in 4 (30.8 %) patients. In 9 (69.2 %) patients, LV EF increased by 4±2 % (p<0.01). Standard indexes of LV myocardial perfusion did not significantly change. In 7 patients, the cardioprotective tactics was associated with reduced severity of myocardial perfusion disorder, LV∆σТ = -1.37±1.29 (p<0.05), and in 4 patients, with reduced heterogeneity of myocardial perfusion, LV∆σН = -1.20±0.70 (p<0.05).Conclusion The cardioprotective tactics prevents both further disorder of perfusion and decreases in parameters of left ventricular myocardial contractility in patients with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Advances in oncologic therapies have allowed to achieve better outcomes and longer survival in many patients with breast cancer. Anthracyclines are cytotoxic antibiotics widely used in daily oncology practice. However, anthracyclines cause cardiotoxicity which is a limiting factor of its use. Cumulative dose of anthracyclines is the major cause of induced cardiotoxicity. According to previous clinical trials, the major predisposing high-risk factors for anthracycline-based chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity are age, body weight, female gender, radiotherapy, and other diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Experimental studies in animals confirm that hypertension may be a significant factor predisposing anthracycline-based chemotherapy cardiotoxicity. The main objective of our study was to identify the effect of pre-existing arterial hypertension on the development of subclinical cardiac damage during or after doxorubicin-based chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. The study was performed prospectively between March 2016 and January 2017 in the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas Clinics Department of Oncology and Department of Cardiology. Data of 73 women with breast cancer treated with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy in outpatient clinic were analyzed. Statistically significant association between pre-existing arterial hypertension and left ventricular systolic dysfunction after completion of chemotherapy was observed (P < 0.004). Our study demonstrated that pre-existing arterial hypertension has a very important role in the development of anthracycline-based chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, despite arterial hypertension control quality. Consequently, further studies evaluating impact of other risk factors and how early and sufficient management of arterial hypertension could influence the development of cardiotoxicity are needed to avoid permanent cardiac damage.

Abstract
Doxorubicin cardiotoxicity is frequently reported in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The present study investigates whether cardiomyopathy induced by doxorubicin can be improved by the natural flavone acacetin in a mouse model and uncovers the potential molecular mechanism using cultured rat cardiomyoblasts. It was found that the cardiac dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis induced by doxorubicin were significantly improved by acacetin in mice with impaired Nrf2/HO‐1 and Sirt1/pAMPK molecules, which is reversed by acacetin treatment. Doxorubicin decreased cell viability and increased ROS production in rat cardiomyoblasts; these effects are significantly countered by acacetin (0.3‐3 μM) in a concentration‐dependent manner via activating Sirt1/pAMPK signals and enhancing antioxidation (Nrf2/HO‐1 and SOD1/SOD2) and anti‐apoptosis. These protective effects were abolished in cells with silencing Sirt1. The results demonstrate for the first time that doxorubicin cardiotoxicity is antagonized by acacetin via Sirt1‐mediated activation of AMPK/Nrf2 signal molecules, indicating that acacetin may be a drug candidate used clinically for protecting against doxorubicin cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Progress in oncology has allowed to improve outcomes in many breast cancer patients. The core stone of breast cancer chemotherapy is anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Unfortunately, anthracyclines cause cardiotoxicity which is a limiting factor of its use and lifetime cumulative dose of anthracyclines is the major risk factor for cardiotoxicity. With evolution of echocardiography subclinical damage is identified, and more sensitive evaluation can be performed. This leads to understanding the heart damage beyond cumulative dose in early phase and importance of other risk factors. There are many risk factors for anthracycline-based chemotherapy cardiotoxicity (ABCC) like arterial hypertension, obesity, diabetes, genetic predisposition, etc. One of possible pathophysiological pathways is iron metabolism, especially HFE gene-regulated iron metabolism pathway. Pre-existing genetic iron metabolism dysregulation increases risk for ABCC. Clinical studies and experimental models in mice have shown potential impact of HFE gene SNP on ABCC. The main objective of our study was to identify the impact of HFE C282Y and H63D SNP on the development of subclinical heart damage during and/or after doxorubicin-based chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Data of 81 women with breast cancer treated with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy in the outpatient clinic were analyzed and SNP RT-PCR tests were performed. Statistically significant association between H63D and ABCC after completion of chemotherapy was observed (p < 0.005). Consequently, our study demonstrated that H63D SNP has an important role in the development of ABCC. HFE SNP mutation status could be used as one of important tools to identify high-risk patients for ABCC.

Abstract
In recent, intra- and inter-tumor heterogeneity is seen as one of key factors behind success and failure of chemotherapy. Incessant use of doxorubicin (DOX) drug is associated with numerous post-treatment debacles including cardiomyopathy, health disorders, reversal of tumor and formation of secondary tumors. The module of cancer treatment has undergone evolutionary changes by achieving crucial understanding on molecular, genetic, epigenetic and environmental adaptations by cancer cells. Therefore, there is a paradigm shift in cancer therapeutic by employing amalgam of peptide mimetic, small RNA mimetic, DNA repair protein inhibitors, signaling inhibitors and epigenetic modulators to achieve targeted and personalized DOX therapy. This review summarizes on recent therapeutic avenues that can potentiate DOX effects by removing discernible pitfalls among cancer patients.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the diagnosis and management of children with various malignancies have improved tremendously. As a result, there are an increasing number of children who are long-term cancer survivors. With improved survival, however, has come an increased risk of treatment-related cardiovascular complications that can appear decades after treatment. These problems are serious enough that all caregivers of childhood cancer survivors, including oncologists, cardiologists, and other health care personnel, must pay close attention to the short- and long-term effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on these children. This review discusses the effects of treatment-related cardiovascular complications from anthracyclines and radiotherapy and the methods for preventing, screening, and treating these complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer therapies are currently more efficient at increasing the survival of patients (pts) with cancer. Unfortunately, the cardiovascular (CV) complications of cancer therapies may adversely affect improving results of treatment. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of classical CV risk factors among pts with de novo diagnosis of cancer and thus identify the cohort of pts with potentially increased future risk of CV complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS The analysis is based on the database of the multicentre ONCOECHO study. Pts before systemic treatment (chemotherapy or targeted therapy) were included. The diagnostic datasets of resting electrocardiogram, blood samples, and transthoracic echocardiogram were analysed in 343 consecutive pts who were free from any cardiovascular disease that could adversely affect the introduced treatment. RESULTS Our cohort included 4.4% of pts with kidney cancer, 7.3% with colorectal cancer, 26.5% with haematological malignancies (HM), and 61.8% with breast cancer. The risk estimated by SCORE was 4.56 ±5.07%. Breast cancer pts had lower cardiovascular risk than those with HM (p = 0.001) and kidney cancer (p = 0.002). Additionally, the HM group had much higher levels of natriuretic peptides (p < 0.001) and creatinine (p = 0.008) than pts with breast cancer. The comparison with the NATPOL population data showed that our pts were more often smokers, hypertensives, and diabetics, but less frequently presented with hypercholesterolaemia. CONCLUSIONS Patients with new diagnosis of cancer, who are candidates for potentially cardiotoxic medical treatment, have increased prevalence of significant cardiovascular risk factors and therefore should be followed by a multidisciplinary team during the therapeutic process.

Abstract
Cancer diagnostics and therapies have improved steadily over the last few decades, markedly increasing life expectancy for patients at all ages. However, conventional and newer anti-neoplastic therapies can cause short- and long-term cardiotoxicity. The clinical implications of this cardiotoxicity become more important with the increasing use of cardiotoxic drugs. The implications are especially serious among patients predisposed to adverse cardiac effects, such as youth, the elderly, those with cardiovascular comorbidities, and those receiving additional chemotherapies or thoracic radiation. However, the optimal strategy for preventing and managing chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity remains unknown. The routine use of neurohormonal antagonists for cardioprotection is not currently justified, given the marginal benefits and associated adverse events, particularly with long-term use. The only United States Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency approved treatment for preventing anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy is dexrazoxane. We advocate administering dexrazoxane during cancer treatment to limit the cardiotoxic effects of anthracycline chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Lymphoma patients are frequently treated with cancer therapies that may increase the risk of adverse health outcomes later in life, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. We sought to investigate the long-term risk of CVD incidence in this survivor population relative to the general population to quantify this health burden. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using EMBASE, MEDLINE, and CINAHL databases, from date of inception to November 2016, with additional searches completed through June 2018. Included reports were observational studies assessing CVD incidence in patients of either Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (HL, NHL) who survived for at least 5 years from the time of diagnosis or if the study had a median follow-up of 10 years. Meta-analyses were performed using random effects models, and subgroup analyses were conducted to determine the incidence of specific CVD subtypes (coronary heart disease, pericardial disease, valvular heart disease, myocardial disease, cardiac dysrhythmia, and cerebrovascular disease). Heterogeneity was assessed using I 2 statistics and prediction intervals. RESULTS Of the 7734 studies identified, 22 studies were included in this review, representing 32 438 HL and NHL survivors. Relative to the general population, lymphoma survivors had statistically significant two to threefold increases in the risk for nearly all subtypes of CVD examined. Lymphoma survivors appeared to be particularly susceptible to pericardial diseases (HL: 10.67, 95% confidence interval (CI), 7.75-14.69; NHL: 4.70, 95% CI, 2.08-10.61) and valvular diseases (HL: 13.10, 95% CI, 7.41-23.16; NHL: 3.76, 95% CI, 2.12-6.66). Although the 95% CIs were suggestive of increased risks, the 95% prediction intervals often included the null, reflecting the high heterogeneity of the estimates. CONCLUSION Given the suggested increased risks of cardiovascular outcomes in lymphoma survivor populations relative to the general population, tailored screening and prevention programmes may be warranted to offset the future burden of disease.

Abstract
Pirarubicin (THP) is an anthracycline antibiotic, frequently used for the treatment of various human cancers. Unfortunately, the clinical effectiveness of THP is limited by its dose-related cardiotoxicity. Apocynum leaf extract is an extract of the dried leaves of Apocynum venetum L. (a member of the Apocynaceae family, AVLE) that has many positive effects on the cardiovascular system and is widely consumed as tea in China. In this study we established a cardiactoxicity rat model, which showed that pretreatment with AVLE attenuated THP-induced myocardial histopathological injury, electrocardiogram abnormalities, and cardiac dysfunction. AVLE also significantly reduced serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), creatine kinase (CK-MB), cardiac troponin (CTnT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH); and increased serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels. Treatment with AVLE or dexrazoxane (DZR) resulted in an increase Cytochrome C (cytc) in the mitochondria and reduced Cytc and cleaved-caspase-3 levels (p<0.05) in cytoplasm. We also found that AVLE significantly reduced voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), adenosine nucleotide transporter 1 (ANT1), and cyclophilin D (CYPD) mRNA expression (p<0.05). Furthermore, AVLE appeared to exert therapeutic effects in a dose-dependent manner. Our study suggests the anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic properties of AVLE may be responsible for the observed cardioprotective effects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with cancer are subject to the cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapy. Improved cancer treatments lead to more cancer-survivors, who though are exposed to various forms of cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) as they age. Aging patients are at increased risk of developing both malignancy and CVD or they may have survived some form of CVD as a result of effective CV treatments. Furthermore, patients with CVD may develop cancer and require treatment (and vice versa), all contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of both malignancy and CVD will increase due to the trend toward a longer lifespan. AREAS COVERED In part 2 of this review, the discussion of the CV effects of specific oncology drugs is completed with inclusion of additional immunological agents, current hormonal and other agents. Early detection and monitoring of cardiotoxicity, use of biomarkers and other imaging and diagnostic methods and prevention and treatment options are also discussed. EXPERT OPINION As outlined in part 1 of this review, oncologists need to be aware of the CV adverse-effects of their treatments and make careful and expectant clinical decisions, especially in patients with preexisting CVD or CV risk factors. Similarly, cardiologists should consider a detailed previous history of treatment for malignant disease, including prior chemotherapy exposure, dose(s) received, and/or combined modality therapy with chest radiotherapy. Both specialists should collaborate in order to minimize the impact of these two ubiquitous diseases (cancer and CVD) and mitigate the adverse effects of treatment modalities.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease has been identified as one of the late complications of cancer therapy. The purpose of this study was to quantify the long-term risk of cardiovascular mortality among lymphoma survivors relative to that of the general population. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. Articles were identified in November 2016 by searching EMBASE, MEDLINE, and CINAHL databases. Observational studies were included if they assessed cardiovascular mortality in patients with lymphoma who survived for at least 5 years from time of diagnosis or if they had a median follow-up of 10 years. A pooled standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was estimated using a DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model. The Q and I2 statistics were used to assess heterogeneity. Funnel plots and Begg's and Egger's tests were used to evaluate publication bias. Of the 7450 articles screened, 27 studies were included in the systematic review representing 46 829 Hodgkin and 14 764 non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. The pooled number of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease among Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin disease was estimated to be 7.31 (95% CI: 5.29-10.10; I2 = 95.4%) and 5.35 (95% CI: 2.55-11.24; I2 = 94.0%) times that of the general population, respectively. This association was greater among Hodgkin lymphoma survivors treated before the age of 21 (pooled SMR = 13.43; 95% CI: 9.22-19.57; I2 = 78.9%). There was a high degree of heterogeneity and a high risk of bias due to confounding in this body of literature. Lymphoma survivors have an increased risk of fatal cardiovascular events compared to the general population and should be targeted for cardiovascular screening and prevention campaigns.

Abstract
Background Daunorubicin is a traditional chemotherapeutic agent that plays a pivotal role in leukemia therapy. However, the dose-related toxicity remains a considerable challenge. The apoptosis-regulating gene, PDCD5, is downregulated in various tumors, including leukemias, and may provide a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of leukemia. The purpose of this study was to construct a triple-regulated oncolytic adenovirus carrying a PDCD5 gene expression cassette (SG611-PDCD5) and explore the combined antitumor efficacy of SG611-PDCD5 in combination with low dose daunorubicin on leukemic cells. Materials and methods A variety of leukemic cell lines, including K562, MEG-01, KG-1a, HL-60, SUP-B15, and BV-173, were cultured according to the providers’ instructions. The insertion and orientation of all recombined plasmids were confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion and PCR. The tumor-selective replication of the constructed conditionally replicating SG611-PDCD5 and its antitumor efficacy in combination with daunorubicin were characterized in leukemic cell lines in vitro and in a nude mouse xenograft model. Cell viability was detected using cell-counting kit-8. Apoptosis was detected in whole living cells using flow cytometry and in paraffin-embedded tumor tissues using a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Results The triple-regulated CRAd carrying SG611-PDCD5 and nude mouse xenograft models of K562 cells were successfully constructed. In vitro treatment with SG611-PDCD5 in combination with low-dose daunorubicin elicited more potent anti-proliferative and proapoptotic effects in leukemic cells in a dose-dependent manner. The Chou-Talalay analysis revealed synergistic anti-proliferative effects in all of the above cell lines. In the nude mice xenograft model, the tumor size in the control, daunorubicin, SG611-PDCD5, and combined treatment groups on day 10 were 170.1±47.8, 111.9±81.1, 60.7±12.3, and 33.2±17.5 mm3, respectively (all P<0.05). The results of the TUNEL assay showed significantly more apoptotic cells in the SG611-PDCD5 plus daunorubicin group than in the SG611-PDCD5 or daunorubicin groups alone (25±0.82, 12.5±2.27, and 7.8±2.67 apoptotic cells/field, respectively) (P<0.05). Conclusion The findings suggest that combined treatment with SG611-PDCD5 and daunorubicin may be a promising strategy for enhancing chemosensitivity and thus lowering the dose-related toxicity of daunorubicin in leukemia therapy.

Abstract
Chemical modification of known, effective drugs are one method to improve the chemotherapy of tumors. We reported ability of oxazoline analogs of doxorubicin (O-DOX) and daunorubicin (O-DAU) to induce apoptosis and autophagy in ovarian and liver cancer cells. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS, respectively), together with intracellular calcium-mediated downstream signaling, are essential for the anticancer effect of these new anthracycline analogs. The changes of mitochondrial membrane potential and induction of the ceramide pathway suggests that these compounds induce cell death by apoptosis. In addition, a significant increase of autophagosome formation was observed by fluorescence assay and acridine orange staining, indicating that the new analogs also induce autophagic cell death. Compared to free DOX- and DAU-treated cells, we observed inhibition of colony formation and migration, a time-dependency between ROS/RNS levels and a greater fall in mitochondrial membrane potential. Altogether, our research broadens the base of molecular oxazolinoanthracyclines targets and reveals that derivatives mediated oxidative stress, ceramide production and increase in intracellular calcium level by mitochondria. Furthermore, our data highlight the importance of mitochondria that simultaneously assume the role of activator of autophagy and apoptosis signals.

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing MiR-21 efficiently repair myocardial damage in rats. Oncotarget 2018; 8:29161-29173.

Abstract
Objective We investigated the ability of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) overexpressing microRNA-21 (miR-21) to repair cardiac damage induced by anthracyclines in rats. Methods Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats of 2~3 weeks old were selected to isolate and culture BMSCs. A lentivirus harboring pLVX-miR-21 was generated and transfected into rat BMSCs. The rats were assigned into an untreated negative control group, and groups injected with adriamycin alone or with adriamycin followed by BMSCs, pLVX-BMSCs or pLVX-miR-21-BMSCs (n = 10 each). Proliferation and migration of cells were detected by cholecystokinin-8 (CCK- 8) and transwell. MiR-21 expression, mRNA expressions of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2), BAX (BCL-2-associated X protein) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were tested by qRT-PCR. Western blotting was applied to detect protein expressions of Bcl-2, Bax and VEGF. Results Using CCK- 8 and transwell assays, we found that pLVX-miR-21-BMSCs, which overexpressed miR-21, exhibited greater proliferation and migration than untransfected BMSCs or pLVX-BMSCs. Ultrasonic cardiograms and immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that among the five groups, the pLVX-miR-21-BMSC group exhibited the most improved heart function and enhanced angiogenesis. Moreover, the pLVX-miR-21-BMSC group showed enhanced expression of Bcl-2, VEGF and Cx43 and reduced expression of Bax, BNP and troponin T. Conclusion These findings suggest miR-21 overexpression enhanced the proliferation, invasiveness and differentiation of BMSCs as well as expression of key factors (Bcl-2, VEGF and Bax) essential for repairing the cardiac damage induced by anthracyclines and restoring heart function.

Abstract
Over-expression of HER2 is generally considered to be a negative prognostic feature because it accompanies an increase in breast cancer mortality. However, the development of agents that specifically target HER2 has improved the management of patients with these tumours. This expert group used data from published literature, practical experience and opinion of a large group of academic oncologists to arrive at these practical consensus recommendations with regards to the use of these agents and the management of HER2 neu early breast cancer for the benefit of community oncologists.

Abstract
Hematological cancer survivors are highly vulnerable to cardiometabolic complications impacting long-term health status, quality of life and survival. Elevated risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease arises not only from the effects of the cancers themselves, but also from the toxic effects of cancer therapies, and deconditioning arising from reduced physical activity levels. Regular physical activity can circumvent or reverse adverse effects on the heart, skeletal muscle, vasculature and blood cells, through a combination of systemic and molecular mechanisms. We review the link between hematological cancers and cardiometabolic risk with a focus on adult survivors, including the contributing mechanisms and discuss the potential for physical activity interventions, which may act to oppose the negative effects of both physical deconditioning and therapies (conventional and targeted) on metabolic and growth signaling (kinase) pathways in the heart and beyond. In this context, we focus particularly on strategies targeting reducing and breaking up sedentary time and provide recommendations for future research.

Abstract
Severe adverse systemic drug events occur commonly as a result of treatment of cancer patients. Nephrotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents remains a significant complication limiting the efficacy of the treatment. A variety of renal disease and electrolyte disorders can result from the drugs that are used to treat malignant disease. The kidneys are a major elimination pathway for many antineoplastic drugs and their metabolites. Tumour lysis syndrome, an emergency in haematooncology, occurs most often after the initiation of cytotoxic therapy in patients with high-grade lymphomas and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Chemotherapeutic agents can affect the glomerulus, tubules, interstitium and renal microvasculature, with clinical manifestations that range from asymptomatic elevation of serum creatinine to acute renal failure requiring dialysis. Some factors such as intravascular volume depletion, as well as concomitant use of other drugs or radiographic ionic contrast media, can potentiate or contribute to the nephrotoxicity. Cytotoxic agents can cause nephrotoxicity by a variety of mechanisms. The most nephrotoxic chemotherapeutic drug is cisplatin, which is often associated with acute kidney injury. Many other drugs such as alkylating agents, antimetabolites, vascular endothelial growth factor pathway inhibitors and epidermal growth factor receptor pathway inhibitors may have toxic effects on the kidneys. The aim of this review is to discuss the issue of nephrotoxicity associated with chemotherapy. In routine clinical practice, monitoring of kidney function is mandatory in order to identify nephrotoxicity early, allowing dosage adjustments or withdrawal of the offending drug.

Abstract
Fibroblast activation protein-α (FAPα) is a serine protease of the post-prolyl peptidase family that is specifically expressed in the majority of human epithelial tumors, but not in normal tissues. In this study, we demonstrated the anti-tumor activity of a novel targeting drug formed by conjugating epirubicin (EPI) with an FAPα-specific dipeptide (Z-Gly-Pro) and named it Z-GP-EPI. Consistent with this tumor-targeting delivery strategy, the results illustrated that Z-GP-EPI could release EPI efficiently after incubating with FAPα and could exhibit similar antitumor effects as EPI in vitro in FAPα over-expressed tumor cells (4T1/FAPα+). Furthermore, the evaluation of antitumor activity of Z-GP-EPI in vivo was implemented in a 4T1/FAPα+ tumor-bearing mice xenograft model. Our results illustrated that Z-GP-EPI had similar antitumor effects in 4T1/FAPα+ tumor-bearing mice and showed no visible cardiotoxicity side effects compared with free EPI. Thus, our study indicated that this FAPα-activated prodrug targeting strategy may provide a new mechanism for the targeted delivery of antitumor agents and improve their safety levels.

Abstract
Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity remains a significant contributor to late morbidity/mortality in children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The cardioprotectant dexrazoxane can be used as prophylaxis to diminish risk for cardiomyopathy but whether it affects risk of relapse in pediatric AML is unclear. Our institution adopted the use of dexrazoxane before anthracyclines administration for all oncology patients in 2011. We compared patients with AML (ages, 0 to 21 y) who received or did not receive dexrazoxane during the years 2008 to 2013. In total, 44 patients with AML (ages, 4.5 mo to 21.7 y) were included. We identified no statistical difference in 2-year event rate (62% vs. 50%, P=0.41) or 2-year overall survival (69% vs. 69%, P=0.53) between patients receiving (n=28) or not receiving (n=16) dexrazoxane. Ejection fraction (P=0.0262) and shortening fraction (P=0.0381) trended significantly higher in patients that received dexrazoxane compared with those that did not receive dexrazoxane. Utilization of the cardioprotectant dexrazoxane before anthracycline chemotherapy in pediatric patients with AML demonstrated no significant difference in either event rate or overall survival relative to institutional controls and seems to improve cardiac function indices. Further studies in this patient population are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Albumin nanoparticles are well-known as effective drug carriers used to deliver hydrophobic chemotherapeutic agents. Albumin nanoparticles encapsulating curcumin and doxorubicin were fabricated using slightly modified nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab™) technology, and the synergistic effects of these two drugs were examined. Albumin nanoparticles encapsulating curcumin, doxorubicin, and both curcumin and doxorubicin were prepared using a high pressure homogenizer. The sizes of albumin nanoparticles were ∼130nm, which was considered to be suitable for the EPR (enhanced permeability and retention) effect. Albumin nanoparticles gradually released drugs over a period of 24h without burst effect. To confirm the synergistic effect of two drugs, in vitro cytotoxicity assay was performed using B16F10 melanoma cells. The cytotoxic effect on B16F10 melanoma cells was highest when co-treated with both curcumin and doxorubicin compared to single treatment of either curcumin and doxorubicin. The combined index calculated by medium-effect equation was 0.6069, indicating a synergistic effect. Results of confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescence-activated cell sorting corresponded to results from an in vitro cytotoxicity assay, indicating synergistic cytotoxicity induced by both drugs. A C57BL/6 mouse model induced by B16F10 lung metastasis was used to study in vivo therapeutic effects. When curcumin and doxorubicin were simultaneously treated, the metastatic melanoma mass in the lungs macroscopically decreased compared to curcumin or doxorubicin alone. Albumin nanoparticles encapsulating two anticancer drugs were shown to have an effective therapeutic result and would be an excellent way to treat resistant lung cancers.

Abstract
A 63-year-old woman with diabetes type II and a history of breast cancer was treated with clozapine for her refractory schizophrenia. She developed a dilated cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of 25%, a life-threatening event. The cause of heart failure could be multifactorial, with clozapine, family history, chemotherapy, diabetes type II and/or lithium as possible contributing risk factors. Clozapine was discontinued and the patient was referred to a hospice. Two weeks later, her heart failure slowly improved. Subsequently, she became extremely psychotic with a severe decline in quality of life. Therefore, it was decided to restart clozapine under cardiac monitoring. The patient's psychotic symptoms improved and her heart failure status remained stable for more than a year. Thereafter, a small deterioration was seen in cardiac function. In this case, re-exposure to clozapine was successful for at least 2 years.

Abstract
Despite the significant advances achieved in pediatric acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) treatment, adverse side effects of drugs remain a challenging issue. Numerous ALL pharmacogenomic studies have been conducted to elucidate the predisposing genetic factors for their development. Plausible pharmacogenomic data are available for the osteonecrosis associated with glucocorticoids, the neurotoxicity associated with vincristine and the cardiotoxicity related to anthracyclines. However, these data have not been fully translated into the clinic due to several limitations, most importantly the lack of reliable evidence. The most robust pharmacogenomics data are those for thiopurines and methotrexate use, with evidence-based preemptive testing recommendations for the former. Pharmacogenomics has a significant potential utility in pediatric ALL treatment regimens. In this review, gaps and limitations in this field are emphasized, which may provide a useful guide for future research design.

Abstract
Background Treating patients who are critically ill with radiotherapy (RT) brings a unique set of challenges as it involves treating patients who require mechanical life support, unconventional positioning, and a multidisciplinary team approach to ensure safety. However, when the benefits of such treatment outweigh the risks, the challenges can be overcome, as demonstrated in this unique case of cardiac angiosarcoma. Case description This is a case of a 42-year-old female with a right sided cardiac angiosarcoma who quickly developed cardiac tamponade and respiratory failure related to compression of her right heart by the tumor. She was treated with high dose single fraction RT initially and had a clinical response allowing further conformal RT with concurrent chemotherapy. Discussion Managing critically ill patients requires creativity, improvisation, and careful consideration of existing evidence. Although limited, the data suggest that multi-modality therapy with a combination of surgery, RT, and chemotherapy provide the best outcomes.

Wang Y, Zhang Y, Sun B, Tong Q, Ren L. Rutin Protects against Pirarubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity through TGF- β1-p38 MAPK Signaling Pathway. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE : ECAM 2017; 2017:1759385. [PMID: 28367221 PMCID: PMC5358477 DOI: 10.1155/2017/1759385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2016] [Revised: 12/20/2016] [Accepted: 01/04/2017] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
We investigated the potential protective effect of rutinum (RUT) against pirarubicin- (THP-) induced cardiotoxicity. THP was used to induce toxicity in rat H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Positive control cells were pretreated with a cardioprotective agent dexrazoxane (DZR) prior to treatment with THP. Some of the cells were preincubated with RUT and a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, SB203580, both individually and in combination, prior to THP exposure. At a dose range of 30-70 μM, RUT significantly prevented THP-induced reduction in cell viability; the best cardioprotective effect was observed at a dose of 50 μM. Administration of RUT and SB203580, both individually as well as in combination, suppressed the elevation of intracellular ROS, inhibited cell apoptosis, and reversed the THP-induced upregulation of TGF-β1, p-p38 MAPK, cleaved Caspase-9, Caspase-7, and Caspase-3. A synergistic effect was observed on coadministration of RUT and SB203580. RUT protected against THP-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibition of ROS generation and suppression of cell apoptosis. The cardioprotective effect of RUT appears to be associated with the modulation of the TGF-β1-p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Long-term childhood cancer survivors are at great risk of developing late adverse effects after treatment, such as, reduced growth, obesity, decreased fertility, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, impaired glucose, another form of cancer, among others organ dysfunctions, some of them are part of the metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome and cancer connection is still not entirely understood, but there are some notions about it. Metabolic alterations produced during childhood cancer are more likely determined by treatments like radiotherapy, chemotherapy, glucocorticoids therapy, and surgery. Cancer treatment is associated to vascular alterations, hormone deficiencies, changes in insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory mediators. Obesity has been considered a crucial component in metabolic syndrome; obesity risk factors during childhood cancer include cranial radiation, female gender, and exposure to glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone. In addition, local radiotherapy or surgery may cause endocrine deficiencies, depends on the directly damage of endocrine organs. Patients who received some types of cancer treatment should be evaluated periodically to early diagnostic metabolic disorders associated to antineoplastic therapy.
