Pharmacological measures for attenuating postoperative sore throat (POST) include inhalation of beclomethasone or fluticasone propionate; gargling with azulene sulfonate, aspirin, or ketamine: gargling or spraying benzydamine hydrochloride; intravenous (IV) dexamethasone; oral clonidine; topical or systemic lidocaine; and ingestion of strepsils tablets. Each of these approaches has limitations and variable success rates; thus, no approach has become established in routine clinical use. In the past decade, studies have shown that xylitol in chewing gum may inhibit the growth, metabolism, and polysaccharide production of Streptococcus mutans, which accounts for the highest proportion of the natural flora in the oral cavity. Subsequent biofilm formation reduction may lead to some reduction in the number of bacteria. Furthermore, chewing gum can promote salivary gland secretion, resulting in lubrication and cleansing of the oral cavity. which may decrease postoperative sore throat.

Patients included in the study will be divided into 3 groups; the gum group2 (group G2), the gum group4 (group G4) and the control group (group C) by a computer-generated random number table before surgery. In the preoperative waiting area before transfer to the operating room, patients in group G2 will chew 1 piece of herbal sugar-free for 2 minutes and then spat it out, patients in group G4 will chew 1 piece of herbal sugar-free for 4 minutes and then spat it out, group C will be asked to swallow 2 times only. After entering to the OR patients will be routinely monitored with ECG, Pulse oximetry, and blood pressure then induction of anesthesia will be done using Fentanyl 1 to 2 mcg per kg, propofol 1 to 3 mg per kg, and atracurium 0.6 mg per kg. endotracheal tube size 7.5 will be inserted. volume-controlled ventilation was initiated with a mixture of 50% oxygen and 50% air, a respiratory rate of 12 cycles·minute, an inspiratory-to-expiratory ratio (I:E) of 1:2 and an adjusted end-tidal CO2 maintained at approximately 35-40 mm Hg. Ondansetron (4 mg) and paracetamol 1g were injected IV to prevent postoperative nausea, vomiting, and pain. Patients will be extubated after being awake using minimal suction. Postoperative sore throat (POST) will be evaluated by the numerical rating scale (NRS), which ranges from 0 to 10 points, with 0 indicating no pain, 1-3 indicating mild discomfort, 4-6 indicating moderate pain, and 7-10 indicating severe pain.
Inactive placebo administered on 2 blinded experimental sessions scheduled 2 to 4 weeks apart. Initial dose possibly followed 1.5 to 2.5 hours later by (optional) inactive placebo supplemental dose.
PURPOSE:To provide an agent for promoting the production of nerve growth factor, containing a polybasic amino acid and/or a peptide containing a polybasic amino acid in the molecule as active components, effective for preventing the aging of nerve system, preventing the progress of nervous disorder or improving the above diseases and having high safety. CONSTITUTION:The objective agent contains, as an active component, a polybasic amino acid having at least three basic amino acid sequences, e.g. polylysine, polyarginine or polyornithine, a peptide containing the polybasic amino acid in the molecule (e.g. protamine) or their mixture. The promoting agent is effective to promote the survival of nerve cell and the maintenance of the function of the cell and prevent the degeneration and falling of a damaged nerve cell. Protamine is a basic protein forming a complex with a DNA in a sperm nucleus of vertebrate and separable from the soft roe of salmon, herring, rainbow trout, etc., or sperm of ox, pig, chicken, etc.
Image interpretation errors can occur with POSLUMA PET. A negative image does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm the presence of prostate cancer. The performance of POSLUMA for imaging metastatic pelvic lymph nodes in patients prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by serum PSA levels and risk grouping [See Clinical Studies ( 14.1)] . The performance of POSLUMA for imaging patients with biochemical evidence of recurrence of prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels [See Clinical Studies ( 14.2)] . Flotufolastat F 18 uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur in other types of cancer, in non-malignant processes, and in normal tissues. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation, is recommended. 

Risk of Image Misinterpretation in Patients with Suspected Prostate Cancer Recurrence

The interpretation of POSLUMA PET may differ depending on imaging readers, particularly in the prostate/prostate bed region [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2)].  Because of the associated risk of false positive interpretation, consider multidisciplinary consultation and histopathological confirmation when clinical decision-making hinges on flotufolastat F18 uptake only in the prostate/prostate bed region or only on uptake interpreted as borderline.
SCOPE: Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein naturally present in mammals' milk, associated with immune homeostasis and intestinal maturation. This study aims to investigate the protein digestion pattern and the cellular bioactivity of bovine milk OPN digesta in vitro.
METHODS AND RESULTS: A modified INFOGEST static in vitro infant digestion protocol and a Caco-2/HT-29 co-culture cell model are employed to evaluate the digestion properties and the anti-inflammatory effects of OPN. OPN is resistant to gastric hydrolysis but degraded into large peptides during intestinal digestion. Its 10 kDa digesta permeate with predicted extensive bioactivities protects the co-culture cell model from the inflammation-induced dysfunction by dose-dependently recovering the expression of occludin, claudin-3, and ZO-1. Low dosage of OPN significantly decreases the production of IL-8 and IL-6, and downregulates the mRNA and protein expression of MyD88, NF-κB p65, and IκB-α, whereas a high dose evokes a mild pro-inflammatory response. Interestingly, anti-inflammatory effect of OPN digesta is stronger than lactoferrin and whey protein concentrate counterparts.
CONCLUSION: The findings demonstrate that the bioactive peptides released from in vitro infant gastrointestinal digestion of bovine milk OPN alleviates intestinal epithelial cell inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation and potentiates the barrier function of the intestinal epithelium.
BACKGROUND: Quality of life studies in low- and middle-income countries have demonstrated the influence of socioeconomic factors on the quality of life (QoL). However, further studies are required to confirm this association in developing countries with rapidly ageing populations. Using Ferrans et al.'s QoL model, this study aimed to identify the factors associated with the QoL of community-dwelling adults in Indonesia.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study among 546 community-dwelling adults aged 50+ years was conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in 2018. QoL was measured using the Short Form 12 questionnaire, which consists of a summary of physical and mental health. We performed stepwise logistic regression analyses to determine odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and examined the association between the QoL (physical and mental health) and demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, financial management behaviour, multimorbidity status, nutritional status, cognitive impairment status, depression status, and independence. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
RESULTS: Among the respondents, 15% reported poor physical health, and 9.2% reported poor mental health. Good physical health was significantly associated with the absence of chronic disease (OR 2.39; 95% CI: 1.07-5.33), independence in activities of daily living (OR 3.90; 95% CI 1.57-9.67) and instrumental activities of daily living (OR 4.34; 95% CI 2.28-8.26). Absence of depression was significantly associated with good mental health (OR 2.80; 95% CI 1.3-5.96).
CONCLUSION: The QoL of community-dwelling adults in Indonesia is associated with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, as well as the absence of chronic disease and depression. Efforts should be made to prevent chronic disease and delay functional decline through healthy lifestyles and routine physical and mental health screenings.
BACKGROUND: Neurocardiogenic injury is common after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) despite low prevalence of preexisting cardiac disease. Potential mechanisms include autonomic dysregulation due to excess catecholamines as well as systemic inflammation. Understanding how inflammation contributes to cardiac dysfunction may aid in identifying novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we investigated serum leukocytes as predictors of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with aSAH. We also investigated increased cardiac macrophages in an animal model of SAH and whether immunomodulatory treatment could attenuate this inflammatory response.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 256 patients with aSAH admitted to University of Illinois Hospital between 2013 and 2019. Our inclusion criteria included patients with aSAH receiving an echocardiogram within 72 h of admission. Our primary outcome was echocardiographic evidence of systolic dysfunction. We performed multinomial regression and receiver operating curve analysis. We also used the endovascular perforation model of SAH in male Sprague-Dawley rats to assess for myocardial inflammation. Two days after surgery, hearts were collected and stained for the macrophage marker Iba-1. We compared the presence and morphology of macrophages in cardiac tissue isolated from SAH animals and sham controls treated with and without the immunomodulatory agent fingolimod.
RESULTS: Of 256 patients with aSAH, 233 (91.0%) underwent echocardiography within 72 h of admission. Of 233, 81 (34.7%) had systolic dysfunction. Patients had baseline differences in the presence of hypertension, alcohol use, and admission Glasgow Coma Scale and Hunt-Hess score. On multivariable analysis, total leukocytes (odds ratio 1.312, p < 0.001), neutrophils (odds ratio 1.242, p = 0.012), and monocytes (odds ratio 6.112, p = 0.008) were independent predictors of reduced systolic function, whereas only monocytes (odds ratio 28.014, p = 0.030) predicted hyperdynamic function. Within the rodent heart, there were increased macrophages after SAH relative to controls, and this was attenuated by fingolimod treatment (p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Increased serum leukocytes are associated with abnormal left ventricular systolic function following aSAH. The strongest independent predictor of both reduced and hyperdynamic systolic function was increased monocytes. Increased cardiac macrophages after experimental SAH can also be targeted by using immunomodulatory drugs.

And 500g tangerine is extracted with 5L ethanol at 60deg.C for 5 hr to produce 190g extract. The jujube extract and tangerine pericarp extract can be orally or parenterally administered at a dose of 0.1 to 5g, preferably 0.5 to 1g and 0.1 to 10g, preferably 0.5 to 2g/kg.weight.day respectively.
PURPOSE: To form a fibrin sealant which is safe without the contamination with viruses, etc., by bringing a fibrin monomer-contg. compsn. into contact with the section desired to be stanched, etc., and simultaneously converting the fibrin monomer to a fibrin polymer. CONSTITUTION: The compsn. contg. the fibrin monomer (more adequately fibrin enomoner) is brought into contact with the desired section, such as the section to be stanched or the sutured section of tissues and simultaneously the fibrin monomer is converted to the fibrin polymer preferably before 3 seconds of the contact and within 0.5 minutes after the contact. The conversion of the fibrin monomer to the fibrin polymer is executed by bringing an alkaline buffer soln., such as 0.5 to 0.75 M sodium carbonate/sodium bicarbonate, into contact with the compsn. described above in the case the fibrin monomer is obtd. by solubilizing, for example, the non-cross-linked fibrin obtd. from the blood with the acid buffer soln. The non-cross-linked fibrin is preferably obtd. by acting thrombin-like enzyme on plasma. This enzyme is preferably battroxobin.
BACKGROUND: Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a measure of atherosclerotic vascular disease and a surrogate biomarker for cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Mineral and bone disorders (MBD) are complications of CKD, contributing to vascular calcification and accelerated atherosclerosis. Increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-the earliest detectable serum abnormality associated with CKD-MBD-has been linked with cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD. This study aimed to identify factors and analyze the relationship associated with high cIMT, high FGF23, and poor MBD control in children with CKD.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia recruiting children with CKD. The correlations and factors between cIMT, FGF23, and MBD were explored.
RESULTS: We recruited 42 children aged 2-18 years old with CKD stages 2 to 5D. There were no significant correlations between cIMT and factors including advanced CKD, use of dialysis, body mass index, hypertension, anemia, MBD, FGF23 levels, and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). Patients with advanced CKD had poorly controlled anemia, hypertension, and higher LVMI. In multivariate analysis, CKD stages, hypertension stages, the presence of MBD, and LVMI were associated with FGF23 levels (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: FGF23 levels increased with CKD progression, and MBD was more prevalent in advanced kidney disease. Elevated FGF23 is potentially associated with increased MBD prevalence in late-stage CKD. A larger study is needed to confirm the factors affecting cIMT in children with CKD.

In order to guide the formulation of post-stroke treatment strategy in time, it is necessary to have real-time feedback on collateral circulation and revascularization. Currently used near-infrared II (NIR-II) probes have inherent binding with endogenous albumin, resulting in significant background signals and uncontrollable pharmacokinetics. Therefore, the albumin-escaping properties of the new probe, IR-808AC, was designed, which achieved timely excretion and low background signal, enabling the short-term repeatable injection for visualization of cerebral vessels and perfusion. We further achieved continuous observation of changes in collateral vessels and perfusion during the 7-d period in middle cerebral artery occlusion mice using IR-808AC in vivo. Furthermore, using IR-808AC, we confirmed that remote ischemic conditioning could promote collateral vessels and perfusion. Finally, we evaluated the revascularization after thrombolysis on time in embolic stroke mice using IR-808AC. Overall, our study introduces a novel methodology for safe, non-invasive, and repeatable assessment of collateral circulation and revascularization in real-time that is crucial for the optimization of treatment strategies.

BACKGROUND: Selenoprotein P (SELENOP) transports selenium to extrahepatic tissues and is a biomarker of selenium status. Low soil selenium leads to low dietary selenium intake. A consequence is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate clinical aspects associated with SELENOP deficiency, including biomarkers of inflammation, quality of life, and mortality within 12 years, and the effect of dietary selenium and coenzyme Q10 supplementation on SELENOP.
METHODS: SELENOP was determined at inclusion and after four years of supplementation in 403 elderly community-living participants low in selenium receiving selenium yeast (200 μg/day) and coenzyme Q10 (200 mg/day), or placebo. Pre-intervention, the average serum selenium level was 67 μg/L. T-tests, repeated measures of variance, Cox proportional regressions analyses, Kaplan-Meier graphs and ANCOVA analyses were applied. Associations with biomarkers of inflammation, telomere length, quality of life and mortality were investigated. Benchmark modelling was used to determine the serum selenium concentration at which the saturation levels of SELENOP and GPx3 was achieved. Comparison with GPx3 and serum selenium to identify increased mortality risk was performed, and the effect of supplementation on SELENOP levels were evaluated.
RESULTS: Inverse associations were observed between the level of SELENOP at inclusion and biomarkers for inflammation. At follow-up, shorter telomere lengths were seen in those with low levels of SELENOP at inclusion, whereas high levels of SELENOP were associated with better quality of life and decreased mortality. SELENOP had increased prognostic power compared to GPx3 and selenium. Saturation of SELENOP was achieved at a serum selenium level of 146 μg/L, and for GPx3 at 99 μg/L. Supplementation induced higher levels of SELENOP.
CONCLUSION: Significant associations between SELENOP and inflammation, length of telomeres, quality of life, and mortality were observed. Thus, selenium supplementation improved SELENOP expression, thereby facilitating systemic selenium bioavailability and resulting in the observed positive health effects.

ATACAND HCT can cause symptomatic hypotension. Symptomatic hypotension is most likely to occur in patients who have been volume and/or salt depleted as a result of prolonged diuretic therapy, dietary salt restriction, dialysis, diarrhea, or vomiting. Patients with symptomatic hypotension may require temporarily reducing the dose of ATACAND HCT or volume repletion. Volume and/or salt depletion should be corrected before initiating therapy with ATACAND HCT.

In patients with heart failure, ATACAND HCT may cause excessive hypotension, which may lead to oliguria, azotemia, and (rarely) with acute renal failure and death (see WARNINGS, Impaired Renal Function). In such patients, ATACAND HCT therapy should be started under close medical supervision; they should be followed closely for the first 2 weeks of treatment and whenever the dose of candesartan or diuretic is increased.
