OPTIMIZATION OF IMID-BASED THERAPIES by Murat Çınarsoy

“…In this case, it is clear that multiple myeloma treatment optimization cannot be achieved by considering multiple myeloma treatment only as applying the appropriate drug combination.In order to ensure the optimization of IMID-based therapies, it is necessary to take a broad perspective.This perspective should include the correct selection of the patient to be treated with IMID, the development and implementation of IMID forms that will increase patient compliance, the use of techniques to predict the development of resistance, side effect management during treatment, preventing the increase in disease burden with appropriate maneuvers by following the disease burden after treatment, and drug-free follow-up.It is recommended to avoid thalidomide in the presence of peripheral neuropathy, to prefer other agents instead of lenalidomide in the presence of renal function loss, and to avoid pomalidomide in patients with COPD.Nex-20, a once-monthly subcutaneous formulation of lenalidomide, is expected to be an important breakthrough in improving patient compliance.Prediction of which patients will develop resistance will be very useful in order to have the best treatment outcomes.Calculation of miRNA risk scores, measurement of lenalidomide metabolite levels in urine, measurement of cereblon levels in blood, or immunohistochemical detection of cereblon levels are some of the methods currently being tried to predict disease resistance.Patients who develop anemia should be treated with erythropoietin, skin reactions should be treated with steroids and antihistamines, diarrhea should be treated with loperamide and colestyramine, and in general, the drug should be discontinued and the same dose or a lower dose should be insisted upon.An important part of treatment is maintenance therapy with lenalidomide. …”

Influence of Rail Line Gradient and Curve on Pantograph-Catenary Dynamic Performance by Huan ZOU, Ning ZHOU, Dong ZOU, Weihua ZHANG

“…The results showed that, when the slope change rate is 0, the influence of line on the dynamic response of the pantograph/catenary isn’t obvious;the positive slope change rate of the contact wire decreases the mechanical wear of pantograph/catenary, the stability of current is reduced, and it increases the electrical wear, but the negative slope change rate of the contact wire makes opposite; the smaller the radius of the vertical and horizontal curve, the worse the stability of the pantograph/catenary dynamic performance, which can not be ignored in the simulation, and it should be considered in the line design, construction and interval speed limit of horizontal curve and vertical curve setting.…”

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF LOADING BY TECHNOLOGY RECONDITIONING, WITH APPLICATION TO REPAIR PIECES OF AUTO INDUSTRY by Gheorghe AMZA

“…One problem is that the presence of detonation ultra-dispersed diamonds in the grain metal coating of diamond powders not only improves the coating functional reliability in protection from destruction in the subsequent pressing and sintering in the production tool, but also resistance of such coating to the opening of the diamond cutting basis of the grains on the grinding wheel working surface that come into working contact with the material being processed. An analysis of the features of an effective exploitative destruction of detonation ultra-dispersed diamonds in the metal coating using electric current in the tool of the diamondspark grinding processes is presented.…”
