The yin and yang of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors have proven highly effective against a number of autoimmune diseases but have been disappointing in treating others. An increase in the risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections has been noted in patients treated with these agents. If we use these drugs, we need to weigh their beneficial and adverse effects.
متن کاملTumor hypoxia and reoxygenation: the yin and yang for radiotherapy
Tumor hypoxia, a common feature occurring in nearly all human solid tumors is a major contributing factor for failures of anticancer therapies. Because ionizing radiation depends heavily on the presence of molecular oxygen to produce cytotoxic effect, the negative impact of tumor hypoxia had long been recognized. In this review, we will highlight some of the past attempts to overcome tumor hypo...
متن کاملThe Yin and Yang of arterial inflammation.
he recent wave of enthusiasm for including inflammation s one of the primary pathophysiologic processes in cardioascular disease has substantial merit (1). Arterial inflamation is central to plaque progression and plaque rupture. mong clinical markers of inflammation, C-reactive protein CRP), a complex pentameric protein largely of hepatic rigin, is the current gold standard (2,3). In a variety...
متن کاملYin-yang activities and vicious cycles in the tumor microenvironment.
A solid tumor is an ecosystem composed of tumor cells, resident and infiltrating nontumor cells, and molecules present in proximity to these cells. This ecosystem can be collectively described as the tumor microenvironment. Both the tumor cells as well as the neighboring nontumor cells take part in establishing the specific conditions existing in the microenvironmental milieu. Stephen Paget pos...
متن کاملDeveloping a rational tumor vaccine therapy for renal cell carcinoma: immune yin and yang.
In patients with progressive malignancy, the natural balance between proinflammatory (Yang) and inhibitory (regulatory or Yin) immune pathways is disrupted and favors cancer-specific immune suppression. Therapy with interleukin 2 (IL-2) can mobilize immune effector cells that recognize and destroy cancer. High-dose IL-2 is the only therapy that has consistently induced complete durable remissio...
