Co-treatment with APRE at 20 mg/kg/day for 21 days markedly improved all biochemical and pathological alterations evoked by MTX, demonstrating significant nephroprotective effects. Apremilast inhibits methotrexate's harmful effects on the kidneys by activating signaling cascades that include Nrf2/HO-1, while simultaneously downregulating TLR4/NF-κB/p38 MAPK/Caspase-3.
By performing the combination of MTX-MP-activated neutrophils and OT-1 CD8+ T cells transfer, we found that the long-term survival rate improved in OVA-expressing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC-OVA) models. Implications: Our findings revealed a new way by which activated-neutrophils release microparticles to kill tumor cells and provided a potential combinatorial therapeutic strategy for tumor immunotherapy.
Treatment with rituximab, high-dose methotrexate, and focal radiotherapy was initiated...Liquid biopsy of the CSF provides a promising alternative for diagnosing PISCL. However, further studies are needed to validate the clinical utility of this diagnostic approach.
In conclusion, this study provides the first preclinical evidence that HMC, particularly in combination with MTX, ameliorates IMQ-induced psoriasis via modulation of inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and histopathological damage. These findings suggest its potential as a therapeutic candidate that warrants further preclinical and clinical investigation in plaque-type psoriasis.
Comparison of systemic and intrathecal delivery routes revealed that systemic MTX had a wider impact on brain morphology than did IT MTX treatment, particularly at clinically relevant doses of IT MTX. This finding provides important insight into the mechanisms that likely underlie MTX-induced neurotoxicity and focuses potential interventions on systemic toxicity.
Her disease remains well controlled on methotrexate 15 mg once weekly. While the development of eosinophilic fasciitis in this case was presumed to be idiopathic, to our knowledge, this is the first case of eosinophilic fasciitis developing in the setting of long-term ocrelizumab use.
Despite 3 years of acitretin therapy, surgical excisions, imiquimod and repeated cryotherapy, the lesions remained poorly controlled. This case, along with her sister's experience, highlights oral methotrexate as a potential therapeutic option for refractory cases. Further studies are needed to explore its role in the management of this challenging condition.
He commenced first-line systemic therapy with methotrexate, but had no response. He was switched to brentuximab vedotin and has received eight cycles with partial response...Approach to mycosis fungoides in children: consensus-based recommendations. J Am Acad Dermatol 2024; 91: 1078-85).
After not responding to topical treatments and apremilast, and experiencing short-term remission with phototherapy, he began treatment with methotrexate in consultation with rheumatologists...He was prescribed tamoxifen for the following 5 years...This research is crucial for the development of early detection and prevention strategies. Finally, patients diagnosed with melanoma should continue regular surveillance, not only for potential melanoma recurrence but also to detect new primary cancers.

Her right breast ductal carcinoma, diagnosed 9 months prior, was treated with surgery, adjuvant letrozole and radiotherapy...Management options include topical and systemic corticosteroids, phototherapy and methotrexate (Hobbs L, Tiwari N. Hemorrhagic bullous lichen sclerosus of the breast: a rare complication of radiotherapy...To the best of our knowledge, this is the fifth reported case of RHBLS. Early recognition is crucial to alleviate concerns about breast cancer recurrence and to rule out vulval lichen sclerosus.
