1. The association of genetic factors with serum calretinin levels in asbestos-related diseasesCita Zupanc, Alenka Franko, Danijela Štrbac, Viljem Kovač, Vita Dolžan, Katja Goričar, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: Background. Asbestos exposure is associated with different asbestos-related diseases, including malignant meso-thelioma (MM). MM diagnosis is confirmed with immunohistochemical analysis of several markers, including calretinin. Increased circulating calretinin was also observed in MM. The aim of the study was to determine if CALB2 polymor-phisms or polymorphisms in genes that can regulate calretinin expression are associated with serum calretinin levels or MM susceptibility.Subjects and methods. The study included 288 MM patients and 616 occupationally asbestos-exposed subjects without MM (153 with asbestosis, 380 with pleural plaques and 83 without asbestos-related disease). Subjects were genotyped for seven polymorphisms in CALB2, E2F2, MIR335, NRF1 and SEPTIN7 genes using competitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Serum calretinin was determined with ELISA in 545 subjects. Nonparametric tests, logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results. Carriers of at least one polymorphic CALB2 rs889704 allele had lower calretinin levels (P = 0.036). Carriers of two polymorphic MIR335 rs3807348 alleles had higher calretinin (P = 0.027), while carriers of at least one polymorphic NRF1 rs13241028 allele had lower calretinin levels (P = 0.034) in subjects without MM. Carriers of two polymorphic E2F2rs2075995 alleles were less likely to develop MM (odds ratio [OR] = 0.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.43-0.96, P = 0.032), but the association was no longer significant after adjustment for age (P = 0.093). Optimal serum calretinin cut-off values differentiating MM patients from other subjects differed according to CALB2, NRF1, E2F2, and MIR335genotypes.Conclusions. The results of presented study suggest that genetic variability could influence serum calretinin levels. These findings could contribute to a better understanding of calretinin regulation and potentially to earlier MM diag-nosis.

3. Novejši pristopi k zdravljenju mezotelioma plevreDanijela Štrbac, Vita Dolžan, 2023, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Pleuralni mezoteliom je redek tumor katerega zdravljenje kljub sodobnemu pristopu z imunoterapijo ne prinaša želenih rezultatov, zaradi slabše imunološke odzivnosti tumorja in njegove genetske raznolikosti. Novejši pristopi k zdravljenju se osredotočajo predvsem na tumorske vakcine, CA R-T terapijo in gensko terapijo. Raziskovanje miRNA pa odkriva tudi nove biološke označevalce pri mezoteliomu.

6. Možganski tumorji : standardi in perspektive2022, proceedings of professional or unreviewed scientific conference contributions Abstract: V prvem sklopu z naslovom Osnovne preiskave v nevroonkologiji smo predstavili novo klasifikacijo tumorjev osrednjega živčevja, nato smo se osredotočili na molekularno genetsko diagnostiko. Nadaljevali smo z nevroradiološkimi preiskavami s poudarkom na magnetno rezonančnih značilnostih možganskih tumorjev ter sklop zaključili s pregledom nuklearnoštevilnih medicinskih preiskav v nevroonkologiji.
V drugem sklopu smo se osredotočili na zdravljenje in spremljanje bolnikov z možganskimi tumorji. Možganski tumorji so zelo heterogene bolezni, zato so bile predstavljene različne možnosti terapije z vidika nevrokirurga, internističnega onkologa, radioterapevta in pediatra. Vlogo v zdravljenju možganskih tumorjev in različne pristope do lobanjske baze nam je predstavil specialist otorinolaringolog. Seznanjeni smo bili s sodobnimi, najnovejšimi tehnikami obsevanja številnih možganskih metastaz kot tudi benignih možganskih tumorjev. Poudarjeni so bili tudi zapleti zdravljenja in pozne posledice onkološkega zdravljenja. Klinična psihologinja je razložila vpliv onkološkega zdravljenja na nevrokognitivno funkcijo. Pomembnost multidisciplinarnega sodelovanja je bila nagovorjena s predavanjem nevrologa.
