Bevacizumab for refractory gastrointestinal angiodysplasia: a case report and literature review.

Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol

August 2025

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep, Alkmaar.

Currently, symptomatic gastrointestinal (GI) angiodysplasia is treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) via endoscopic procedures, supplemented with octreotide or thalidomide treatment. However, suboptimal response and side effects are often seen. Bevacizumab, an angiogenesis inhibitor, may provide an alternative systemic therapy for patients with refractory GI angiodysplasia.

Mechanisms and treatment of cancer therapy-induced peripheral and central neurotoxicity.

Nat Rev Cancer

September 2025

Department of Neurology, Division of Neuro-Oncology, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Neurotoxicity is a common and potentially severe adverse effect from conventional and novel cancer therapy. The mechanisms that underlie clinical symptoms of central and peripheral nervous system injury remain incompletely understood. For conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy, direct toxicities to brain structures and neurovascular damage may result in myelin degradation and impaired neurogenesis, which eventually translates into delayed neurodegeneration accompanied by cognitive symptoms.

May Two Enantiomers Have Different Raman Spectra?

Chirality

September 2025

Dipartimento di Chimica e Chimica Industriale, Università di Pisa, Pisa, Italy.

A recent publication by Kopec et al., "The effect of enantiomers of thalidomide on colon cells-Raman spectroscopy studies", reported to "demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy reveals distinct spectral differences between the enantiomers of thalidomide" and provided both experimental and computational evidence. However, the theory of Raman spectroscopy inherently establishes that two enantiomers must exhibit identical Raman frequencies and intensities.

Cereblon upregulation overcomes thalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma through mitochondrial functional reprogramming.

BMB Rep

September 2025

Basic Research Laboratory, Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, Smart Marine Therapeutic Center, Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease Core Research Center, Inje University, Busan 47392, Korea; Department of Health Science and Technology, College of Medicine, Inje University, Busan 47392, K

Patients with multiple myeloma develop resistance to thalidomide during therapy, and the mechanisms to counteract thalidomide resistance remain elusive. Here, we explored the interaction between cereblon and mitochondrial function to mitigate thalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma. Measurements of cell viability, ATP production, mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial ROS, and protein expression via western blotting were conducted in vitro using KSM20 and KMS26 cells to assess the impact of thalidomide on multiple myeloma.
