Disease relevance of Mucositis

 

High impact information on Mucositis

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Mucositis

  • Clinically significant mucositis occurred after only 8% of courses of high-dose epirubicin [11].
  • The incidence of mucositis requiring morphine sulfate (MSO4) was similar in both groups (42.9%), with the mean number of days with MSO4 being 7.8 (SD = 3.4) in the PTX group versus 8.2 (SD = 3.4) in the control group (NS) [12].
  • Amifostine did not reduce mucositis [13].
  • While individual patient tolerance varied, moderate to severe myelosuppression and/or mucositis occurred frequently in patients receiving the combination with methotrexate doses greater than or equal to 60 mg/m2 [14].
  • Randomized trial of a chlorhexidine mouthwash for alleviation of radiation-induced mucositis [15].
 

Biological context of Mucositis

  • Pharmacodynamic analyses at the MTD showed that older age, female sex, and higher 5-FU area under the time versus concentration curve (AUC) were associated with lower nadir counts and/or increased mucositis [16].
  • The maximally tolerated dose of 5-FU in this study was 800 mg/m2/d, with mucositis in previously irradiated sites being dose-limiting [17].
  • This strongly suggests that, in addition to its value in protecting these severely immunocompromised patients from oral infection, chlorhexidine also offers a therapeutic benefit in the resolution of existing oral infections and of mucositis [18].
  • The kinetics of COX-2 expression relative to mucositis progression suggests that COX-2 is not a primary driver of radiation injury, but instead plays an amplifying role [19].
 

Anatomical context of Mucositis

 

Gene context of Mucositis

  • Finally, mucositis was induced in mutant mice with specific defects of the EGF signaling axis [25].
  • Gastrointestinal toxicity was low, grade 3-4 mucositis occured less frequently than in similarly-treated historical controls receiving GM-CSF [26].
  • We investigated the effects of IGF-I pre-treatment on chemotherapy-induced mucositis in rats [27].
  • These data indicate that mucositis lesions are related to massive release of proteolytic enzymes and are improved by RG1503 treatment, this effect being ascribable in part to restoration of the MMP-TIMP balance [28].
  • It is clear that G-CSF is the therapy of choice for most neutropenias and that both agents have effects in diminishing the myelotoxicity and mucositis seen after aggressive chemoradiotherapy [29].
