Prevalence of smoldering multiple myeloma based on nationwide screening

Sigrun Thorsteinsdottir et al.

Summary: This study investigated the epidemiological characteristics of smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) in the general population of Iceland. The prevalence of SMM in individuals 40 years or older was found to be 0.53%, with higher rates in men (0.67%) than in women (0.39%). The high prevalence of SMM has important implications for future treatment policies in multiple myeloma.

Effects of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-Gamma Agonists on Cognitive Function: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Hongfei Zhong et al.

Summary: Diabetes is a risk factor for dementia, and PPAR-gamma agonists not only have glucose-lowering effects but also can decrease cognitive impairment. Early intervention and high-dose therapy with PPAR-gamma agonists are beneficial for patients, with PIO showing better clinical effects and safety compared to RSG. Thus, PPAR-gamma agonists play an important role in the inflammatory response of AD or DM patients, and relevant metabolic indices should be considered in clinical therapeutics.

Summary: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of liver disease worldwide and its prevalence is on the rise. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an advanced form of NAFLD, is characterized by liver cell injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. While there are currently no approved pharmaceutical treatments for NAFLD, medications such as Vitamin E and pioglitazone have shown effectiveness in resolving NASH. Additionally, new therapies targeting the underlying mechanisms of NASH, including bile acid signaling, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism, are in development.

An overview of pim kinase as a target in multiple myeloma

Zhaoyun Liu et al.

Summary: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. High expression and activity of pim kinase have been associated with the progression and prognosis of malignant diseases, making it a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of MM. Pim kinase inhibitors have shown good efficacy in clinical trials. This study reviews the role of pim kinase in the proliferation of myeloma cells, progression of bone disease infiltration, and regulation of the immune microenvironment in MM, as well as summarizes the effectiveness of pim kinase inhibitors as single agents or in combination therapy.

Vitamin D and Multiple Myeloma: A Scoping Review

Naghmeh Mirhosseini et al.

Summary: As the global incidence of multiple myeloma (MM) increases, maintaining optimal vitamin D status is important for disease prevention. A review of human-level research found that vitamin D deficiency is common among MM patients, but there is limited evidence on the association between vitamin D status and the risk of developing MM. Future studies should explore the possible associations of vitamin D with disease staging, peripheral neuropathy, and survival/prognosis in MM patients, as well as investigate the role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms in MM.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors, currently used in patients with type 2 diabetes, have been shown to have potential applications in cancer prevention and treatment. However, there are potential risks associated with DPP-IV inhibition in cancer, and further research is needed to fully understand the impact of these medications on cancer.

Summary: The interaction between bone marrow resident adipocytes and other cells in their microenvironment is not well understood. Bone marrow adipocytes can influence bone metastasis and cancer cell growth through secretion of lipids, cytokines, and adipokines. Recent studies have highlighted the impact of bone marrow adipose tissue volume expansion on bone metastasis from solid tumors and blood cancers. The complex cross-talk between adipocytes and metastatic cells of lung and prostate cancer is also examined.

Second Primary Malignancy Risk in Multiple Myeloma from 1975 to 2018

Summary: As survival times for multiple myeloma (MM) patients continue to extend, the risk of developing a second primary malignancy (SPM) among MM survivors is a growing concern. This study evaluated the risk and survival of SPM among MM survivors from 1975 to 2018 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 9 Registry Database. Factors such as age, sex, race, and time of MM diagnosis were found to be associated with SPM occurrence. The study suggests the need for site- and time-specific surveillance strategies to monitor SPM in high-risk MM patients.
