Dipyridamole (DP) is clinically prescribed for its vasodilating and antiplatelet effects. DP also inhibits nucleoside transport and enhances cytostatic activity of antimetabolites. We obtained evidence for augmentation of the cytocidal effect of Adriamycin (ADM) by DP, both in vitro and in vivo.
OBJECTIVE
To review and summarize data on olaratumab, which was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2016, in combination with doxorubicin, for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma.
METHODS
A literature search using PubMed was conducted using the search terms
A 53-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with sudden onset of massive hemoptysis. She had previous history of dyspnea and cough for two months. She had no history of chronic disease, smoking, or use of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs. On arrival, she was tachycardic and
The subcellular distribution of v-sis-related protein(s) was analyzed in three simian sarcoma virus (SSV)-transformed cell lines with immunofluorescence and protein A-gold labeling techniques using rabbit polyclonal anti-platelet-derived-growth factor (PDGF) antisera. Antigenically reactive proteins
Olaratumab is a humanized monoclonal antiplatelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha antibody that has been approved in combination with doxorubicin for the treatment of patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS). The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the BACKGROUND
Treatment with doxorubicin is a present standard of care for patients with metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma and median overall survival for those treated is 12-16 months, but few, if any, novel treatments or chemotherapy combinations have been able to improve these poor outcomes. Olaratumab
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent inflammatory mediator, which seems to play a role in the pathogenesis of several AIDS manifestations such as AIDS dementia complex, Kaposi's sarcoma, and HIV-related nephropathy. PAF antagonists have been studied in these conditions with promising
In this paper we review our experience with HIV-related thrombocytopenic purpura (TP) in 24 patients seen from October, 1985 through April, 1988: the median follow-up was 16 months (range 3-32). All patients belonged to risk groups for AIDS and intravenous drug abusers represented 83% of the entire
Studies were designed to determine whether salivary gland extract (SGE) from the leech Haementeria officinalis could inhibit enhancement of lung tumor colonization induced by pretreatment of mice with cyclophosphamide (CY) or local thoracic irradiation (LTI). Tumor nodules in the lung were generated
BACKGROUND
Not infrequently, patients undergoing dual antiplatelet therapy for a recent cardiac stent develop a need for a non-cardiac surgery. Most of these surgeries can be delayed while the antiplatelet treatment is stopped and normal platelet function returns in order to avoid potential surgical
The overall prognosis of patients with sarcoma-based cancers has changed little in the last 20 years. There is an urgent need to investigate the metastatic potential of these tumors and to develop anti-metastatic drugs. It is becoming increasingly clear that platelets play an important role in the
In this work, we describe the molecular cloning and pharmacological properties of an acidic phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) isolated from Bothrops pauloensis snake venom. This enzyme, denominated BpPLA(2)-TXI, was purified by four chromatographic steps and represents 2.4% of the total snake venom
