They claim that a Cuban vaccine makes lung cancer “controllable”

|

Havana, 9 sep (EFE).-A Cuban vaccine against advanced lung cancer “considerably” improves the State of serious patients and allows the disease to become “controllable Chronicle”, reported today media officers.

The drug has been developed after 15 years of research by scientists at the center of Molecular Immunology (CIM) of Havana, who already appreciate to use the same principle of the drug in the treatment of oncological illnesses.

CIM sources explained to local media that the drug may not prevent the disease, but allows you to control advanced cancer, to generate antibodies against proteins that trigger slippage in the processes of cell proliferation.

Under the trade name of CIMAVAX-EGF, the vaccine was applied successfully to more than 1,000 patients in Cuba, where his health registration was conducted in June 2008.

The product was also already registered in Peru and is in the process of registration in other countries of the region, such as Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, Ecuador and Argentina.

Is expected to soon enter phase of testing in China.

The Director of the project, Gisela Gonzalez, said last January that the vaccine is safe and does not cause severe effects increases the survival of the patient, with a good quality.

Cuban media underline that CIMAVAX-EGF is the first therapeutic vaccine against cancer lung progress registered in the world.

According to data from the World Health Organization, cancer is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and the lung is one of the of greatest incidence.

In 2008, 7.6 million deaths were attributed to cancer, and it is expected that they will increase by more than 11 million in 2030. EFE

Scientists are a gene for chronic pain

|

Experts at the University of Cambridge said that medicines could be designed to block the protein produced by the gene, could be a type of pain called neuropathic, which is linked to nerve damage and tends to be difficult to control with the currently available drugs.

“Neuropathic pain sufferers tend to have little or no truce due to the lack of effective medication,” said Peter McNaughton, the Department of Pharmacology of Cambridge, who directed the study.

“Our research paves the way for the development of new drugs to treat chronic pain by blocking the HCN2,” added the author. The treatment of pain is an enormous health burden worldwide. It is estimated that it costs more than 281.000 million dollars annually and the United States, some 150 billion dollars a year to Europe. Studies show that about 22 percent of people with chronic pain, however, they become depressed and 25 percent ends up losing work. A survey of the 2002 / 2003 by a group called Pain in Europe (pain in Europe) estimated that one in five Europeans suffer pain chronic.

Scientists knew the HCN2 gene, which is located in the pain-sensitive nerve endings, for years, but they had failed to fully understand their role in the regulation of pain. Given that a related gene, called HCN4 plays a key role in the control of the electrical activity of the heart, the McNaughton team suspected that the HCN2 might have a function similar to and regular electrical activity in sensitive nerves pain.

For the study, published in the journal Science, researchers removed electric ad in the sensitive nerves to the laboratory the HCN2 of sensitive nerve pain and then used electrical stimuli on these nerves to discover how changed the nerve endings in the absence of the gene

The scientists then studied genetically modified mice that it had “erased” HCN2 gene. Through the measurement of the speed that the mice did recover from different types of nerve stimuli, experts were able to demonstrate that eliminate the HCN2 seemed to have no effect on acute pain normal – as caused by an accidental cut or bite the mouth – a factor pointed out is important because this type of pain acts as a useful for the body. warning signal

“What is exciting to work on the gene HCN2 is to remove it – or block pharmacologically – delete neuropathic pain without affecting normal acute pain,” he said

McNaughton said in a statement on the study. “This finding could be very valuable clinically because the normal sensation of pain is essential to avoid accidental damage,” he added.

Neuropathic pain, which is distinguished from the inflammatory pain, is seen in patients with diabetes – which affects some 280 million people throughout the world- and as a very painful Herpes Zoster and effect of chemotherapy in cancer patients.

It is also a common factor in the back pain and other chronic diseases painful.

Córdova, who will be replaced in the Ministry of health by the Commissioner of the Popular insurance, Salomón Chertorivsky, was one of the Ministers better valued in the Cabinet by management in which he excelled the handling of the epidemic caused by the H1N1 2009 virus.

“Thanks to your timely intervention could take the necessary measures to reduce the speed and the chain of transmission (of HIV) and to cover all cases which had been submitted,” he said today Calderón.

On Poiré, already former technician of the Council of national security, the representative emphasized his commitment to “a theme which is particularly complex”, of the fight against organized crime.

“More than 50 percent of Argentines have excess weight, and although it is a trend at the global level, we can spare no efforts in the prevention of these disorders that cause thousands of deaths”, said the Undersecretary of regulation and control of the national health portfolio, Andrés Leibovich. The official thus opened the X Congress of the Argentina Federation of General and family medicine between today and tomorrow carried out in the Faculty of medical sciences of La Plata, with the assistance of medical professionals from the first level of care, medical students and staff health.

“

Leibovich claimed that”non-communicable chronic diseases pose a very strong problem from epidemiological, social, and economic point of view as they primarily affect low-income people”, he said after recalling that the impact of these diseases will be a central theme of the forthcoming Summit of Presidents of the United Nations, which will take place next week in New York”.

With respect to the incidence of chronic diseases in the Argentina, Barceló argued that “the national survey of risk factors – by the Ministry of health of the nation in 2009-, indicates that diseases such as diabetes and hypertension was increased in recent years, at the time that recommended”increased physical activity and healthy eating”””, the decrease in smoking, reducing alcohol consumption as strategies to prevent these conditions”.

Barceló believed that “the Ministry of health of the Argentina recently did important work in the prevention of chronic diseases, and is focusing on salt reduction and improvement in the care of persons suffering from these diseases”.

As, Sebastián Laspiur, national health promotion and Control of noncommunicable diseases director pointed out that “the National Ministry of health is actively participating in the Congress, doing a training course aimed at the heads of residents from across the country in relation to tackling chronic diseases in health care, reaffirming the motto that today brings us together linked social diseases determinants are a growing challenge”.
