METHODS: In the study, 35 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. Apart from the first group, limbus-based trabeculectomy was performed for the eyes of rabbits. No postoperative treatment was administered for group Ⅰ. Topically administered saline, prednisolone acetate(1%), bevacizumab 5 mg/mL, pazopanib 5 mg/mL for group Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ respectively were applied for groups 6 h daily for 28 d. On day 28 of the experiment, eyes were enucleated and histologically and immunohistochemically analyzed.RESULTS: The fibroblast counts of groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ were determined to be lower than those of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ(P<0.05). In the mononuclear cell(MNC) count evaluation, no statistically significant difference was determined between the treatment groups(P>0.05). The immunohistochemical staining intensity of fibroblast growth factor β(FGF-β) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) was determined to be lower in groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ than in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ(P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was determined between groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ in respect of fibroblast count, MNC count, FGF-β and VEGF staining intensity(P>0.05). The platelet derived growth factor β(PDGF-β) intensity was lower in group Ⅴ than in groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ(P<0.05). While the PDGF-β staining intensity was significantly lower in group Ⅳ thanin group Ⅱ, the difference compared with group Ⅲ was not statistically significant(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Bevacizumab and pazopanib might be good alternatives of corticosteroid treatment on delaying wound healing in glaucoma surgery.展开更多

Methods: Transcription factors, VEGF, VEGFR2 and p-m-TOR expression are measured by ELISA kits. Proteasome and calpain activity are determined using specific fluorogenic substrate. Results: It is found the increase of NF-κB, HIF-1 expression in cancer tissues followed the hematogenic metastasis development. Coefficient NF-κB р65/р50 and VEGF expression are increased in cancer tissues with single metastasis and are decreased in cancer tissues with multiple ones. It is observed in the low proteasome activity in metastatic cancer tissues. The partial cancer regression is revealed in 29.6% of patients treated with pazopanib, cancer stabilization—in 61.5% of patients and cancer progression—in 11.5% of patients. The increased level of transcription factors NF-κB, HIF-1, growth factor VEGF and high proteasome activity in cancer tissues before targeted therapy are associated with the effective treatment. It is obtained the significant decrease of investigated markers after pazopanib application in metastatic kidney cancer patients. Conclusion: Coefficient NF-κB р65/р50, VEGF expression and proteases activities are the potential prognostic molecular markers of hematogenic metastasis development in kidney cancers. NF-κB, HIF-1 and VEGF levels can be considered as additional molecular markers predicting the effective pazopanib therapy.展开更多

It has been reported to be associated with the use of angiogenesis inhibitors such as sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, regorafenib, and lenvatinib. We reported a case of 76-year-old woman with history of stage III hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), who developed adverse drug reactions related to pazopanib induced PRES. Pazopanib, an angiogenesis inhibitor which inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway may lead to vascular endothelial damage, and these pathophysiological changes may lead to vascular leaks and brain edema. Medical staff must be aware of the possible association between angiogenesis inhibitors and the development of PRES. In patients with retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcoma undergoing treatment with pazopanib, regular monitoring of their blood pressure and following-up brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be encouraged.展开更多

It usually develops within the first 2 - 4 weeks of drug administration. We present a case of HFS induced by Pazopanib after 2 months of treatment, in patients previously treated with Sunitinib, suggesting a possible cumulative toxicity of two drugs. The clinical and therapeutic management of skin adverse reactions during TKI therapy usually requires 25% dose reduction and adequate local treatment. It is important for the clinicians to recognize clinical signs and symptoms of such skin toxicities. Attention should be paid especially when two or more drugs from the same class are used in combined treatment.展开更多
