The RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway is hyperactivated in 30% of human cancers. BRAF is a serine-threonine kinase, belonging to this pathway that is mutated with high frequency in human melanoma and other cancers thus BRAF is an important therapeutic target in melanoma. We have designed inhibitors of BRAF based on 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles with naphthyl and benzothiophene-4-substituents. Two compounds were discovered to be potent BRAF inhibitors: 1-(6-{2-[4-(2-dimethylamino-ethoxy)phenyl]-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl} benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (1i) with BRAF IC(50)=190 nM and with cellular GI(50)=2100 nM, and 6-{2-[4-(2-dimethylamino-ethoxy)-phenyl]-5-pyridin-4-yl-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-naphthalen-1-ol (1q) with IC(50)=9 nM and GI(50)=220 nM.

Evaluation of irregular breathing effects on Internal Target Volume definition for lung cancer radiotherapy.

Authors:
Kenneth A Wikström Ulf M Isacsson Marta C Pinto Kristina M Nilsson Anders Ahnesjö

Med Phys 2021 Mar 5. Epub 2021 Mar 5.

Medical Radiation Physics, Uppsala University Hospital, 751 85, Uppsala, Sweden.

Purpose: Irregular breathing may compromise the treated volume for free-breathing lung cancer patients during radiotherapy. We try to find a measure based on a breathing amplitude surrogate that can be used to select the patients who need further investigation of tumour motion to ensure that the Internal Target Volume (ITV) provides reliant coverage of the tumour.

Material And Methods: Fourteen patients were scanned with four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) during free-breathing. Read More

Real-World Outcomes of DAA Treatment and Retreatment in UK-based Patients Infected with HCV Genotypes/Subtypes Endemic in Africa.

Authors:
Elihu Aranday-Cortes C Patrick McClure Christopher Davis William L Irving Kazeem Adeboyejo Lily Tong Ana da Silva Filipe Vattipally Sreenu Kosh Agarwal David Mutimer Benjamin Stone Matthew E Cramp Emma C Thomson Jonathan K Ball John McLauchlan

J Infect Dis 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, Glasgow, UK.

Background: Chronic HCV infection affects 71 million individuals, mostly residing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Direct-acting antivirals (DAA) give high rates of sustained virological response (SVR) in high income countries where a restricted range of HCV genotypes/subtypes circulate.

Approach: We studied UK-resident patients born in Africa to examine DAA effectiveness in LMICs where there is far greater breadth of HCV genotypes/subtypes. Read More

Effects of dietary macronutrients on serum urate: results from the OmniHeart trial.

Matthew J Belanger Christina C Wee Kenneth J Mukamal Edgar R Miller Frank M Sacks Lawrence J Appel Robert H Shmerling Hyon K Choi Stephen P Juraschek

Am J Clin Nutr 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Division of General Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Background: Dietary recommendations to prevent gout emphasize a low-purine diet. Recent evidence suggests that the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet reduces serum urate while also improving blood pressure and lipids.

Objective: To compare the effects of DASH-style diets emphasizing different macronutrient proportions on serum urate reduction. Read More

Weight stability masks changes in body composition in colorectal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

Justin C Brown Bette J Caan Elizabeth M Cespedes Feliciano Jingjie Xiao Erin Weltzien Carla M Prado Candyce H Kroenke Adrienne Castillo Marilyn L Kwan Jeffrey A Meyerhardt

Am J Clin Nutr 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, USA.

Background: There is an emerging viewpoint that change in body weight is not sufficiently sensitive to promptly identify clinically meaningful change in body composition, such as skeletal muscle depletion.

Objectives: We aimed to determine whether body weight stability is associated with skeletal muscle depletion and whether skeletal muscle depletion is prognostic of death independently of change in body weight.

Methods: This retrospective cohort included 1921 patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer. Read More

Biomarkers of environmental enteric dysfunction are differently associated with recovery and growth among children with moderate acute malnutrition in Sierra Leone.

Akriti Singh Shibani Ghosh Honorine Ward Mark J Manary Beatrice L Rogers Irwin H Rosenberg

Am J Clin Nutr 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University, Boston, MA, USA.

Background: Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) may influence growth during and recovery from moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), however, biomarkers to assess these relations have yet to be identified.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to: 1) develop a score for EED based on host fecal mRNA transcripts, 2) compare biomarkers of EED with each other, and 3) examine associations between the EED biomarkers and recovery from MAM and growth outcomes.

Methods: In a cohort of 520 Sierra Leonean MAM children, biomarkers of EED included the lactulose: mannitol (L: M) test, 15 host fecal mRNA transcripts, and host fecal proteins [α-1-antitrypsin (AAT), myeloperoxidase (MPO), neopterin (NEO)]. Read More
