'Spikeopathy': COVID-19 Spike Protein Is Pathogenic, from Both Virus and Vaccine mRNA -... - 0 views

  • toxicity of the spike protein—both from the virus and also when produced by gene codes in the novel COVID-19 mRNA and adenovectorDNA vaccines
  • ‘spikeopathy’;
  • A central issue has been growing evidence of pathogenic effects of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein—whether as part of the virus or produced by genetic codes in the mRNA and adenovectorDNA vaccines
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • It is apparent that the original Wuhan strain and early variants of SARS-CoV-2 in 2020 were more pathogenic than later variants. This is consistent with typical viral adaptive evolution to more infectious but less pathogenic strains, a natural phenomenon
  • SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is pathogenic, whether from the virus or created from genetic code in mRNA and adenovectorDNA vaccines.
  • Evidence suggests reverse transcription of mRNA into a DNA copy is possible
  • further suggests the possibility of intergenerational transmission if germline cells incorporate the DNA copy into the host genome

      Intergenerational and transgenerational!
  • (‘spikeopathy’) via several mechanisms that lead to inflammation, thrombogenesis, and endotheliitis-related tissue damage
  • Interaction of the vaccine-encoded spike protein with ACE-2, P53 and BRCA1 suggests a wide range of possible biological interference with oncological potential
  • Repeated COVID-19 vaccine booster doses appear to induce tolerance and may contribute to recurrent COVID-19 infection and ‘long COVID’.
  • spike protein is not only toxic through binding of ACE-2 receptors
  • interaction with cancer suppressor genes BRCA and P53
  • mitochondrial damage

The dialectic role of progesterone. [Maturitas. 2009] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    knowledge of progesterone and its metabolites are important in the use of hormones.  As the authors concluded here: "natural steroids should not be disparaged...an update on endocrinological knowledge and experience is rather mandatory for gynecologists".  There in lies the problem.  The IOM has shown that the average physician practices at a level of 17 years behind the current scientific knowledge and the environment created by medical governing bodies discourages questions, so as to protect the system.

  • Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is a proliferation biomarker
  • Nuclear TK1 expression in early grade CIN predicts risk for progression to malignancy
  • Nuclear TK1 expression is also a prognostic factor for treatment outcome
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • TK1 LI was found to be a more reliable prognostic marker for 5-year survival than pathological stages, FIGO stages and Ki-67,
  • nuclear TK1 expression is a reliable prognostic factor in CIN patients, a group of cervical lesion patients that respond positively to treatment
  • nuclear TK1 expression is correlated with advanced stage of invasive cervical carcinomas
  • a low TK1 LI can help to identify with a better survival
  • low TK1 expression in the tumors in these patients might indicate that these tumors have a lower proliferation rate
  • TK1 is a key kinase in the one-step salvage pathway by which thymidine is introduced into DNA via the salvage pathway
  • TK1 participates in DNA synthesis and is therefore closely related to the S-phase of the cell cycle, and is correlated with proliferation
  • TK1 intensity (TK1 synthesis rate) increases from CIN grade I to CIN grade III, but does not further increase in invasive cervical carcinomas.
  • TK1 intensity seems to be a prognostic factor particularly when pre-malignant cervical lesions progress to malignancy
  •  
    TK-1 is a proliferation biomarker of DNA repair. TK-1 is a nuclear biomarker of cancer prognosis, survival, recurrence and predicts risk of progression of pre-malignant disease.

Metabolic effects of testosterone replacement therapy on hypogonadal men with type 2 di... - 0 views

  • up to 40% of men with T2DM have testosterone deficiency
  • Among diabetic patients, a reduction in sex hormone binding globulin levels induced by insulin resistance leads to a further decline of testosterone levels
  • low bioavailable testosterone concentration was related to decreased lean body mass and muscle strength
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Testosterone deficiency has a high prevalence in men with T2DM, and it is also associated with impaired insulin sensitivity, increased percentage body fat, central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
  • A meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed that TRT seemed to improve glycemic control as well as fat mass in T2DM subjects with low testosterone levels and sexual dysfunction.
  • testosterone administration could increase muscle mass and strength
  • Insulin stimulates glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue via the Glut4 glucose transporter isoform. When insulin activates signaling via the insulin receptor, Glut4 interacts with insulin receptor substrate 1 to initialize intracellular signaling and facilitate glucose transportation into the cell
  • The benefits of TRT on glucose metabolism can mainly be explained by its influence on the insulin signaling pathway
  • Insulin resistance as assessed by, which is calculated from the equation (If*Gf/22.5, where If is fasting insulin and Gf is fasting glucose), was definitely improved by TRT after testosterone administration in three studies
  • Testosterone was observed to elevate the expression levels and stimulate translocation of Glut4 in cultured skeletal muscle cells and to upregulate Glut4 by activating insulin receptor signaling pathways in neonatal rats
  • These effects were inhibited by a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) blocker, indicating that glucose uptake may correlate with conversion of testosterone to DHT and activation of the androgen receptor.
  • TRT reduced triglyceride levels
  • TRT has been reported to have a positive effect in the decrease of total and LDL cholesterol levels and triglycerides in hypogonadal men
  • a recent meta-analysis showed that statins could significantly lower testosterone concentrations.
  • Epidemiological studies have found a negative relationship between testosterone levels and typical cardiovascular risk markers, such as body mass index, waist circumference, visceral adiposity and carotid intima-media thickness.
  • Testosterone treatment was shown to raise hemoglobin, hematocrit and thromboxane, all of which might give rise to CVD
  •  
    Low Testosterone is a very significant problem in men with type II Diabetes.  Estimated to reach 40%, likely much higher.  They based these estimates only on T levels and sexual symptoms. Testosterone improves glycemic control primarily through Increased transcription and transloction of GLUT4 insulin receptors to the cell surface.  Inflammation reduction is also a mechanism.  Testosteorne lowers Triglycerides in the traditional lipid profile.  Studies are mixed on the other aspects of  lipids.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma: current therapy and potential therapeutic advances based on g... - 0 views

  • Cisplatin and 5-FU or CAP (cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide) regimens can be used for combination chemotherapy
  • patients with advanced salivary gland malignancy treated with the CAP regimen achieved partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) rates of 67% (8 out of 12 patients)
  • Agents commonly given as monotherapy for treating ACC are cisplatin, mitoxantrone, epirubicin, vinorelbine, paclitaxel, and gemcitabine. However, few of these agents have shown efficacy
  • ...23 more annotations...
  • single agent mitoxantrone or vinorelbine were recommended as reasonable choices
  • ACC is subdivided into 3 histological groups based on solid components of the tumor including cribriform, tubular, and solid
  • Cribriform and tubular ACCs usually exhibit a more indolent course, whereas the solid subtype is associated with worse prognosis
  • ACC consists of two different cell types: inner luminal epithelial cells and outer myoepithelial cells
  • epithelial cells express c-kit, cox-2 and Bcl-2
  • myoepithelial cells express EGFR and MYB
  • a balanced translocation of the v-myb avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog-nuclear factor I/B (MYB-NFIB) is considered to be a signature molecular event of ACC oncogenesis
  • As a transcription factor, MYB is known to modulate multiple genetic downstream targets involved in oncogenesis, such as cox-2, c-kit, Bcl-2 and BclX
  • Various signaling cascades are essential for cancer cells to survive and grow. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is one of them
  • This pathway regulates cell survival and growth and is upregulated in many cancers
  • Mutations in genes associated with DNA repair are frequently found in familial cancer syndromes, such as hereditary breast-ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC), hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, also called Lynch syndrome) and Li-Fraumeni syndrome [30, 31]. These mutations were also reported in non-hereditary cancers
  • 70% of ACC samples (58 of 84) were found to have genetic alterations in the MYB/MYC pathway, indicating that changes in this pathway are crucial in ACC pathogenesis
  • The second most frequently mutated pathway was involved in chromatin remodeling (epigenetic modification), a pathway that includes multiple histone related proteins, and was altered in 44% of samples
  • C-kit
  • VEGF, iNOS and NF-κB were noted to be highly expressed in ACC cells as compared to normal salivary gland cells
  • members of the SOX family, such as SOX 4 and SOX10, are overexpressed in ACC
  • FABP7 (Fatty acid binding protein 7) and AQP1 (Aquaporin 1) tend to be overexpressed in ACC cell lines
  • considerable variability in HER2 overexpression ranging from 0–58% in patients with ACC
  • the study with cetuximab and concurrent chemoradiation or chemotherapy showed the highest ORR (total 43%, 9.5% CR and 33% PR), but this regimen was only given to the EGFR positive patients
  • Cancer immunotherapy can be classified into 3 major groups. Active immunization using anti-tumor vaccines to induce and recruit T cells, passive immunization based on monoclonal antibodies, and adoptive cell transfer to expand tumor-reactive autologous T cells ex vivo and then reintroduce these cells into the same individual
  • LAK cells showed cytotoxicity against ACC cells
  • cytokine-induced cell apoptosis and the cytotoxic effect of the LAK cells contributed to tumor regression
  • molecular finding of the MYB-NFIB fusion gene has the greatest potential to target what appears to be a fundamental event in disease pathogenesis
