Markers of risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome treated by percutaneous coronary intervention

Background - The clinical diagnosis and categorisation of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) has changed repeatedly over the last decade as have routine treatment strategies. Hypothesis - that adverse clinical events following PCI, may be predicted from the identification of markers of risk at the time of PCI. Methods - Informed consent was obtained from 968 patients fulfilling detailed inclusion and exclusion criteria surrounding a diagnosis of ACS requiring PCI. Standard medical ACS care was provided. PCI operators, techniques, methods and any decision to treat followed usual practice. Data collection took place at the time of intervention and during active follow-up. Blood sample were collected at baseline and 4 and 12 hours after PCI, being processed and refrigerated. Platelet function was assessed at baseline using the VerifyNow test method. Results – Data collection was over a median follow-up time of 3.56 years. Patients were aged 27 to 90 years and a majority were male (75%). Angiographic complications occurred in 13.2% and total complications in 17.1%. A majority (844; 86%) had neither restenosis nor subsequent unplanned revascularization. Recurrent ACS was 6.7% for year 1 and 1.8% additionally for each year thereafter. Stent thrombosis was observed in 18 (1.8%) cases. Bleeding occurred in 9% across the entire follow-up period, being greatest in the first 12 months. Platelet reactivity was highly variable and optimal with regard to outcome in the range of 179 to 243 (Platelet Reactivity Units PRU). Cardiac biomarkers were commonly elevated after PCI but procedural MI was very rare. H-FABP at baseline was strongly predictive of outcome. Conclusion – Adverse clinical events following PCI, such as stent thrombosis, bleeding and in-stent restenosis, may be predicted from the identification of markers of risk at the time of PCI, particularly by the use of risk scores, platelet function testing and measuring biomarker levels.
Establishing M1 stage subdivisions by incorporating radiological features and Epstein-Barr virus DNA for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background Significance of plasma Epstein-Barr virus deoxyribonucleic acid (EBV DNA)-a proven robust indicator for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)-is not yet clarified in risk stratification of metastatic NPC (mNPC). We aim to establish effective M1 stage subdivisions in mNPC by integrating radiological features and EBV DNA at diagnosis of metastasis (mEBV DNA). Methods The study comprised 1,007 mNPC patients, including 817 metachronous mNPC (mmNPC) patients randomized into training (n=613) and internal validation (n=204) cohorts, and 190 synchronous mNPC (smNPC) patients defined as smNPC validation cohort. Primary clinical end-point was overall survival (OS). Covariate inclusion to recursive partitioning analysis (RPA)-generated risk stratification was qualified by a multivariable two-sided P<0.05. Performances of different models were compared using area under ROC curve (AUC), Harrell's concordance index (c-index) and Akaike information criterion (AIC). Results Compared with other simply image-based models, the ultimate RPA-EBV-stage presented a best performance [c-index =0.68 (training), 0.70 (internal validation), 0.64 (smNPC validation); AUC =0.69 (training), 0.72 (internal validation), 0.70 (smNPC validation)]: M1a (low mEBV DNA + oligo lesion), M1b (low mEBV DNA + multiple lesions), M1c (high mEBV DNA + no liver involvement), and M1d (high mEBV DNA + liver involvement). Corresponding 3-year OS rates were 49.9%, 33.4%, 22.6%, and 6.7%, respectively (P<0.001). In mmNPC patients, compared with chemotherapy alone, addition of local treatment demonstrated superiority in M1a and M1b; systemic therapy combined with targeted therapy conferred benefit on patients of M1c and M1d (P<0.05). Conclusions This RPA-EBV-stage provided favorable prognostic value for survival outcomes and could assist clinical and investigative management. Low-risk patients are considered suitable candidate for curative local treatment, and high-risk patients are recommended to undergo intensive systemic treatment.

We may need to reconsider when to apply sunscreen in our daily life

Broad-spectrum sunscreens are now widely used worldwide as an adjunct to help prevent sunburn, skin cancers and premature skin aging. In the United States, all persons older than 6 months are recommended to apply sunscreen to all sun-exposed skin from toes to head except eyes and mouth even on cloudy days. Such a recommendation is apparently based on concepts that exposure to sunlight damages the skin, the damage is cumulative and hence any sun exposure should be minimized or prevented. This communication raises several questions suggesting that the above recommendation may need to be reconsidered. For example, numerous previous studies have indicated many potential health benefi ts from non-burning sun exposure including protection against sunburn, melanoma, colorectal cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer, increasing vitamin D synthesis, helping sleep, reducing blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. Recent studies suggested that regular lifetime non-burning sun exposure may not result in premature skin aging and the skin aging is mainly caused by the intrinsic factor. Skin aging or whole-body aging has been recently postulated to be mainly attributed to a gradual reduction in cardiac output/index with age and a new anti-aging or age-reversing nutritional theory has been proposed. An apparent lack of long-term cumulative sunray damage was also supported by reported age independence in incidences of sunburn and skin cancers. It is of interest that the current US policy is diff erent from that of World Health Organization and Australia recommending the need of sun protection only when UV Index is 3 or greater. In view of the above, some general guidelines regarding when to best apply sunscreen are proposed.
SNAKE BITE , SNAKE VENOM , ANTI-VENOM AND HERBAL ANTIDOTE – A REVIEW

The mortality associated with snake bites is a serious public health problem as the estimated death incidence per year is about 1,25,000 globally. In India about 35,000 to 50,000 people reportedly die of snake bite; although, unreported cases may be even more in rural areas. Considering the socio-medical problem due to snake bite, a review is being conducted on snake bite (management aspects), snake venom (nature and its utility), anti-venom and herbal antidote to provide adequate information to researchers for better future prospective.
Challenges of Primary Schools’ Guidance and Counselling Programme for the Hearing Impaired in Selected Counties of Kenya

This study investigated the challenges that could be facing the guidance and counseling programme in schools for the hearing impaired pupils in the counties of Nakuru, Nairobi, Kiambu and Machakos. These counties have a total population of 776 pupils, 90 teachers and 9 head teachers. Pupils in class six to eight who comprised 243 were selected for the study. This was an ex-post facto descriptive survey that used self-administered questionnaires and interview guide for data collection. A pilot study preceded the main study to ascertain the reliability of the questionnaire items. Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha method was used to measure the internal consistency of items. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used to analyse the data using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results yielded reliability co-efficient of 0.77, 0.70 and 0.71 for the pupils’ questionnaire, teacher counselors’ questionnaire and head teachers’ questionnaire respectively. Frequencies and percentages were used to describe the quantitative data. Chi-square test was used to show the existence or none existence of relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Content analysis was used to analyze data from the open-ended questionnaire items. Qualitative data generated after the analysis of information obtained was used to describe the various aspects of the study and drawing conclusions and recommendations. Findings revealed that the teacher counsellors did not have adequate facilities and resources and they had not received adequate training. Lack of confidentiality, uncooperative parents and negative attitude of teachers towards guidance and counseling also affected the effectiveness of guidance and counseling programme. Adequate training, provision of adequate resources for the programme, creation of awareness among parents and other teachers on the importance of the guidance and counseling programme were recommended.
Recent Advances in Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Activity of Nano Sized Schiff Base Amino Acid M(II) Complexes

Azomethine amino ligands derived from the condensation of 3 -methoxysalicylaldehyde (MS) or 4diethylaminosalicylaldehyde (DS) with α-amino acids (L-phenylalanine (P) and DL-tryptophan (T)) w ere synthesized. All ligands were analyzed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and their melting points. Interaction of the obtained a zomethine amino ligands with metal salts produced novel nano sized Fe(II) an d Cu(II) complexes. The isolated complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, ul traviolet-visible and thermal analysis (TGA) in dynamic ai r atmosphere. The Kinetic and thermal parameters were comput ed from the thermal data using Coast and Redfern method. The molar conductance values of complexes are relatively lo w, indicating the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes . Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that the invest igated complexes are paramagnetic. Moreover, the stabilit y constants of the prepared complexes were determined spectr o ho ometrically. The analytical results suggest that ami no acid Schiff bases behave as dibasic tridentate ONO ligands, and coordinate with Fe(II) and Cu(II) ions in octahedral geometry according to the general formula [M(HL) 2]. nH2O. The particle size of the prepared complexes was determine d using TEM and it was found to be in nano scale. Moreover, the an timicrobial effects of the ligands and their complexes were screened against some types of bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis (+ve) , Escherichia coli (-ve)andMicrococcusluteus (+ve) and other types of fungi such as Asperagillus niger, Candida glabratandSaccharomyces cerevisiae . The results of these studies indicate that the metal complexes exhibit a st ronger antibacterial and antifungal efficiency compared t o their corresponding ligands. The interaction of the complexes wi th CT-DNA was monitored using spectral studies, viscosity measurements and gel electrophoreses. Furthermore, it was found that the prepared complexes could bind to DNA in an intercalating mode.
Detecting Inconsistencies in Multi-view UML Models

Inconsistencies in conflicting multi-view UML models can be major obstacles to the quality and productivity of software development. In the current literature it can be observed that some tools were developed to support the detection of inconsistencies, but none of them are still consolidated. In addition, many of these tools only evaluate syntactic inconsistencies, not considering semantic ones. The tools available are often unable to detect syntactic and semantic inconsistencies in conflicting multi-view UML models. To address this issue, we propose DIUML, a tool that includes: (i) detection of inconsistencies in multi-view UML models through design metrics; (ii) detection of syntactic and semantic inconsistencies, indicating objects and classes affected by them; and (iii) evaluation of the severities of each type of inconsistency detected. Our preliminary evaluation indicated that DIUML was able to detect inconsistencies in multi-view UML models with 337 elements from 10 different combinations of UML class and sequence diagrams.
Ratio of Middle Cerebral Artery / Umbilical Artery Doppler Velocimetry and Status of Newborn in Postterm Pregnancy

Objective: Doppler velocimetry studies of placental and fetal circulation can provide important information regarding fetal well-being providing an opportunity to improve fetal outcome. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of middle cerebral to umbilical artery blood velocity waveform's systolic/diastolic ratio (MCA/UA) as a predictor of perinatal outcome in posttrem pregnant women. Patients and Methods: This prospective case control study included one hundred pregnant women who were stratified into two groups. Fifty pregnant women during the third trimester (control group = group A) and fifty pregnant women with gestational age > 41 weeks (case group = group B). The results of the MCA/UA ratio were evaluated with respect to the outcome of the infants and adverse perinatal outcome, defined as perinatal death, cesarean delivery for fetal distress, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or low Apgar score. Results: The MCA RI/UA RI ratio with cutoff value = 0.85 was found to be the most sensitive parameter in the prediction of adverse prenatal outcome. Among 22 cases admitted in NICU, 15 of them had a ratio below 0.85 (73.7%) and only 7 cases above 0.85 (26.3%). The Cereboplacental ratio screening efficiency for prediction of prenatal outcome (Birth weight <10th percentile) was 47% Sensitivity, 90% Specificity, 95% positive predictive value, 43% Negative predictive value, and for prediction of admission to NICU was 43.5% Sensitivity, 90% Specificity, 91% Positive predictive value, 45% Negative predictive value compared with the results of the present study (MCA/UA) PI ratio showed a 73.7% sensitivity and 68.3% specificity and a 52% PPV and 85% NPV in prediction of prenatal outcome (Birth weight <10th percentile) and 71% sensitivity and 72% specificity and a 79% PPV and 63% NPV in prediction of admission to NICU. Conclusion: Doppler velocimetry studies of placental and fetal circulation can provide important information regarding fetal well-being, yielding an opportunity to improve fetal outcome. Although the sample size of our study was small, our results suggested that the MCA/UA Doppler ratio of less than 1 was a good predictive tool for neonatal outcome in postterm pregnant women and could be used to identify fetuses at risk of morbidity.

Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Mushroom Extracts: Induction of Apoptosis in HepG2 and MCF-7 Cells via Caspases Stimulation and Regulation of BAX and Bcl-2 Gene Expressions

Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a rapidly growing field due to their potential applications in the medical and search fields. This study was conducted for the silver nanoparticles biosynthesis; using Pleurotus ostreatus edible mushroom extracts and investigating the anticancer activity against human liver (HepG2) and breast (MCF-7) adenocarcinoma cancer cell lines. The formation of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The data showed that spherical Ag-NPs with a mean diameter size of 17.5 nm and absorption maxima at 450 nm were produced. The anticancer activity of Ag-NPs on HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines was assessed using the MTT method. The results demonstrated that Ag-NPs showed cytotoxicity against HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cells, with the median growth inhibitory concentrations (IC50) 20.0±1.15 and 37.0±1.15 μg/ml, as compared to the anticancer drug doxorubicin (IC50: 18.67±1.20 and 30.33±0.88 μg/ml, respectively. Further, the apoptotic effect of Ag-NPs was investigated by DNA damage. Furthermore, the transcriptional expression of Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2), BAX (Bcl2-Associated X Protein), caspase-3, -8,-9, cytochrome c and P53 were also evaluated by RT-PCR. The Ag-NPs induced DNA fragmentation and apoptosis in HepG2 and MCF-7 via suppressing of bcl-2 gene expression, up-regulation of BAX, down-regulation of Bcl2, simulation of caspases, P53 and cytochrome c gene expression. In conclusion: Ag-NPs prepared by Pleurotus ostreatus edible mushroom extracts showed antitumor cytotoxicity against HepG2 and MCF-7 via caspase-dependent apoptosis, associated with the activation of p53 and the down-regulation of Bcl-2.
