Protein kinase B (AKT) PI3K / AKT / mTOR signaling pathways play a crucial role in the modulation of cell survival, proliferation, metastasis, metabolism, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. The AKT family consists of three isoforms AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3. Moreover, it has high sequence homology in the kinase domain and has similar substrate specificity to other members of AGC protein kinase. Recent studies have shown that AKT signals disappear in some tumors. Overexpression and activation of AKT are not sufficient to induce the phenotype of malignant tumors. However, many studies have shown the importance of AKT in carcinogenesis including, breast and prostate cancers, second and third global cancer burden, respectively in terms of incidence and death. Inhibition of AKT signaling may be beneficial in terms of therapeutic use and understanding of the function of AKT. To date, limited numbers of AKT inhibitors have been identified, and none are strongly selective for AKT isoforms. In this regard, we discussed the current insight of AKT inhibitors in drug development, protein structure, and mechanism as well as the role of AKT in the development of drug targets for breast cancer and prostate cancer.
To study the toxicological profile and anti-hyperlipidemic effects of Spondias mombin leaves methanolic extract in experimental rats.
Preventing high levels of lipids or its recurrence is currently one of the key aims of clinical and experimental studies.
This study was carried out to investigate the toxicological profile and anti-hyperlipidemic effects of methanolic extract of leaves of Spondias mombin.
The acute toxicity study was carried out where the limited dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was administered to five rats at 48 h intervals. selleck chemicals llc The interpretation was prepared and recorded for 24 h. In the sub-acute toxicity study, rats were treated with 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg doses of the extract every 24 h for 28 days. The hematological, biochemical, and histopathological tests of treated animals were carried out at the end of the test. The anti-hyperlipidemic activity of plant extract (100, 200 mg/kg) was studied on Triton-X-100 induced hyperlipidemia in rats. Histopathological changes in the liver of rats were examined.
For acute and subacute treatment, the extract did not reveal any signs of toxicity or mortality, or any significant effects on hematological, biochemical parameters, and histopathology of organs. The extract demonstrated an important anti-hyperlipidemic result by decreasing the serum levels of cholesterol, TGs, LDL, VLDL, and enhancing HDL.
Taking up the evidence of the experimental study, we can conclude that the methanolic extract of Spondias mombin leaves helps in declining hyperlipidemia in rats and it can be safely used for a period of 28 days to treat hyperlipidemia.

We present a case series of five pediatric patients with cervical ectopic thymuses. In two patients, the ectopic thymic tissue was symptomatic, and in three patients it was an incidental finding. We highlight the need to include this anomaly on the differential diagnosis for a pediatric neck mass. We also propose observation, rather than surgical excision, as the treatment of choice for asymptomatic cervical ectopic thymus.
Endometriomas and functional hemorrhagic cysts (FHCs) are a common gynecological encounter.
To assess the diagnostic efficiency of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using signal intensity measurements in differentiating endometriomas from FHCs.
Forty-six patients who underwent pelvic MRI examinations (endometriomas, n=28; FHCs, n=18) were retrospectively included. The "T2 shading" sign was evaluated subjectively and quantitatively by measuring the T1-T2 signal intensity difference and by calculating the percentage of signal decrease between T1 and T2-weighted sequences. The resulted values, along with the measurement of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the signal intensity on three diffusion-weighted sequences (DWI) (b50, b400 , and b800), were compared between groups by consuming the Mann-Whitney U test. Also, the receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed for the statistically significant results (P<0.016), and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.
The two quantitative assessment methods showed similar efficiency in detecting endometriomas (P<0.001; sensitivity, 100%; specificity, 81.82%; AUC>0.86), outperforming the classic subjective evaluation of the "T2 shading" sign (sensitivity, 92.86%; specificity, 66.67%). ADC (P=0.52) and DWI measurements (P=0.49, P=0.74, and P=0.78) failed to distinguish between the two entities.
The quantitative analysis and interpretation of the 'T2 shading' sign can significantly improve the differential diagnosis between endometriomas and FHCs.

It has been shown that analgesic action is transduced by the G protein-mediated pathway whereas adverse events are by the β-arrestin-mediated pathway through μ opioid receptor signaling. The first new-generation opioid TRV130, which preferentially activates G protein- but not β-arrestin-mediated signal, was constructed and developed to reduce adverse events. TRV130 and other G protein-biased compounds tend to elicit desirable analgesic action with less adverse effects. In clinical trials, the intravenous TRV130 (oliceridine) was evaluated in Phase I, II and III clinical studies. Here we review the discovery and synthesis of TRV130, its main action as a novel analgesic having less adverse events, its up-to-date status in clinical trials, and additional concerns about TRV130 as demonstrated in the literature.
