The inhibitory effect of cornin on the activity of CYP3A4, 2C9, and 2E1 indicated the potential drug-drug interaction between cornin and drugs metabolized by these CYP450s, which needs further investigation and validation.

The design of anti-cancer therapies with high anti-tumour efficacy and reduced toxicity continues to be challenging. Anti-cancer prodrug and antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC) strategies that can specifically and efficiently deliver cytotoxic compounds to cancer cells have been used to overcome some of the challenges. Key to the success of many of these strategies is a self-immolative linker, which after activation can release the drug payload. Various types of triggerable self-immolative linkers are used in prodrugs and ADCs to improve their efficacy and safety. Numerous patents have reported the significance of self-immolative linkers in prodrugs and ADCs in cancer treatment. Based on the recent patent literature, we summarise methods for designing the site-specific activation of non-toxic prodrugs and ADCs in order to improve selectivity for killing cancer cells. In this review, an integrated view of the potential use of prodrugs and ADCs in cancer treatment are provided. This review presents recent patenng results in therapeutic applications. Radiotherapy represents one of the main therapeutic modalities for localized prostate cancer. In the last two decades, emerging data regarding the radiobiology of prostate cancer suggests a very low α/β value which has led the scientific community to evaluate the potential advantage of hypofractionation. The aim of this manuscript is to present the rationale of prostate radiobiology and the medical evidence of moderate hypofractionation for prostate cancer. Existing literature was reviewed, including data from prospective clinical trials dealing with the efficacy and toxicity of hypofractionated radiotherapy. Fifteen prospective phase II studies, nine randomized phase III studies, and ten meta-analyses were selected. For every study included, the equivalent dose was calculated for both biochemical control and late toxicity. The efficacy of hypofractionated radiotherapy, compared to conventional radiotherapy, regarding biochemical control, was evaluated in five superiority and four non-inferiority randomized phase III studies. The majority of participants in these studies were patients with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Even though the superiority criterion of the hypofractionation was not met in all studies, the non-inferiority criterion was. Prospective phase II studies of hypofractionation reported a low rate of acute and late toxicity. In randomized phase III studies, acute and late toxicity grade 3 and higher for the bowel and bladder were comparable between hypofractionated and conventional radiotherapy. The included meta-analyses showed no difference in efficacy and toxicity. Moderate hypofractionation is feasible and safe and may be considered an alternative option in low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients.

Greater saphenous vein (GSV) courses within saphenous compartment, an adipose-filled space bound by fasciae provides structural support. Ultrasound shear-wave elastography (SWE) provides objective and quantitative data on tissue shear elasticity modulus. This study aims to analyze possible associations between early stage GSV insufficiency and saphenous intracompartmental SWE measurements. Two-hundred con
