Novel Hypericin-loaded nanoparticles as a new drug delivery system ameliorate olanzapine-induced early renal injury and oxidative stress: In vitro and in vivo approaches by Abeer M. Abd El-Hameed, Fatimah A.R. AbdulAlim, Amal H. Alsehli, Fadwa A. Elroby

“…The HP-SiNPs release profile, entrapment efficiency, cytotoxicity against the Vero cell line, renal function parameters, antioxidant efficacy, and histological changes in male rats administered with OLZ were all investigated, and they were compared to those of free HP.XRD reveals the development of an HP-silica-based composite with a 275.0 nm particle size, which increases BET surface area and thermal stability. An entrapment efficiency of around 95.61 ± 0.28 %, and a prolonged release of less than 20 % after 12 h were validated by the current results. …”

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. …”
