Climate change and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are considered the 21st Century's major health and development challenges. Both pose a disproportionate burden on low- and middle-income countries that are unprepared to cope with their synergistic effects. These two challenges pose risks for achieving many of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and are both impacted by globalization through different pathways. While there are important insights on how climate change and or globalization impact NCDs in the general literature, comprehensive research that explores the influence of climate change and or globalization on NCDs is limited, particularly in the context of Africa. This review documents the pathways through which climate change and or globalization influence NCDs in Africa. We conducted a comprehensive literature search in eight electronic databases-Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Global Health Library, Science Direct, Medline, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. A total of 13864 studies were identified. Studies that were identified from more than one of the databases were automatically removed as duplicates (n = 9649). Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a total of 27 studies were eventually included in the final review. We found that the impacts of climate change and or globalization on NCDs act through three potential pathways: reduction in food production and nutrition, urbanization and transformation of food systems. Our review contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the impact of climate change and or globalization on human health. We believe that our findings will help enlighten policy makers working on these pathways to facilitate the development of effective policy and public health interventions to mitigate the effects of climate change and globalization on the rising burden of NCDs and goal 3 of the SDG, in particular.
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEV) provide a pragmatic solution as a cell-free therapy for patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the underlying protective mechanisms of MSC-sEV remain largely unknown in DKD. Invivo and in vitro analyses demonstrated that MSC-sEV attenuated renal fibrosis and inflammation of DKD. The underlying mechanism of the MSC-sEV-induced therapeutic effect was explored by high-throughput sequencing, which identified the unique enrichment of a set of miRNAs in MSC-sEV compared with human skin fibroblasts-sEV (HSF-sEV). Vitro experiments demonstrated that the protective potential was primarily attributed to miR-23a-3p, one of the most abundant miRNAs in MSC-sEV. Further, overexpression or knockdown analyses revealed that miR-23a-3p, and its target Krüppel-like factor 3 (KLF3) suppressed the STAT3 signaling pathway in high glucose (HG) induced HK-2 cells were essential for the renal-protective property of MSC-sEV. Moreover, we found that miR-23a-3p was packaged into MSC-sEV by RNA Binding Motif Protein X-Linked (RBMX) and transmitted to HG-induced HK-2 cells. Finally, inhibiting miR-23a-3p could mitigate the protective effects of MSC-sEV in db/db mice. These findings suggest that a systemic administration of sEV derived from MSC, have the capacity to incorporate into kidney where they can exert renal-protective potential against HG-induced injury through delivery of miR-23a-3p.
This is a 1-month waitlist control to be compared with the active online cognitive training intervention. This is a no intervention control group.
The study method was experimental in design and recruited 331 medical intensive care unit patients with placement of central catheters in one regional hospital in northern Taiwan. The investigators used block randomization to assign patients to the study group or control group. In study group which included 163 participants, the investigators used aseptic coverings during dressing and in the control group which included 168 participants the process of dressing was as routine. Study period started from the first day of catheter insertion and ends with either the removal of catheter or discharge from intensive care unit. The investigators defined the infection outcome according to culture results, and the guidelines by Infectious Diseases Society of America and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USA. Analysis was done by SPSS version 23. The investigators used percentage and average to study characteristics of participants. The investigators used Chi-Square or Fisher's exact test and Poisson distribution to analyze the incidence rate of bloodstream infections and the infection density. The investigators used Kaplan-Meier curve to demonstrate the catheter infection-free days and the catheter redness symptoms days of the two groups. The investigators used logistic regression model to analyze factors associated with development of bloodstream infections.
Circular (circ) RNAs are non-coding RNAs with important functions in the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and cancer. Their role in atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction (MI) remains poorly described. We aim to investigate the potential circRNAs in immune cells during atherogenesis and examine the most regulated during MI and the modulation by interleukin (IL)-6 receptor inhibition by tocilizumab. Wild-type (WT) and ApoE-/- mice were fed an atherogenic diet for 10 weeks, and the circRNA profile was analyzed by circRNA microarray. Whole blood from patients with ST-elevated MI (STEMI) and randomized to tocilizumab (n = 21) or placebo (n = 19) was collected at admission, 3-7 days, and at 6 months, in addition to samples from healthy controls (n = 13). Primers for human circRNA were designed, and circRNA levels were measured using RT-qPCR. mRNA regulation of predicted circRNA targets was investigated by RNA sequencing. The expression of 867 circRNAs differed between atherogenic and WT mice. In STEMI patients, circUBAC2 was significantly lower than in healthy controls. CircANKRD42 and circUBAC2 levels were inversely correlated with troponin T, and for circUBAC2, an inverse correlation was also seen with final infarct size at 6 months. The predicted mRNA targets for circUBAC2 and circANKRD42 were investigated and altered levels of transcripts involved in the regulation of inflammatory/immune cells, apoptosis, and mitochondrial function were found. Finally, tocilizumab induced an up-regulation of circANKRD42 and circUBAC2 3-7 days after percutaneous coronary intervention. CircRNA levels were dysregulated in STEMI, potentially influencing the immune system, apoptosis, and mitochondrial function.

Methods and systems for active patient management are provided. A central system can receive data about one or more patients from sources such as implantable medical devices within the patient, healthcare providers, pharmacies, and insurance entities. The system may automatically identify anomalous data or trends in the data, and automatically alert a healthcare provider associated with the patient. The alert may provide additional contextual information related to the alert data. Thus, the healthcare provider need not manually analyze patient data on a regular basis. The system also may perform predictive modeling to identify when a patient may need additional healthcare.
FURTHER will enroll consecutive patients with AKI KDIGO stage 1 or 2 associated with a sepsis or following a cardiac surgery with CPB within 72h. Patients must have achieved a hemodynamic stabilization confirmed by clinical (no need for intravenous fluids, no significant variation of noradrenaline) and non-clinical (trans-thoracic echocardiography, passive leg rise or other validated tool) assessment. Included patients will receive 1 to 1.5 mg/kg of FUROSEMIDE. Urine output will be measured for 6 hours and compensated by the same volume of intravenous crystalloids. Need for RRT will be assess at 2-hour, 6-hour and daily up to day 7, following the AKIKI-study delayed initiation arm criteria. FURTHER aim to evaluate FST in a well-defined prospective cohort of ischemic ATN-related AKI as predictor of need for RRT within a week.
While current HIV treatment with combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced morbidity and mortality, it does not eradicate or cure HIV infection. A possible explanation for this failure is the persistence of virus in long-lived reservoirs. Resting memory CD4 cells have been proposed as providing a cellular reservoir. Most patients who initiate ART during chronic HIV-1 infection do not experience a detectable reduction in HIV in the latent reservoir; this may be due to low levels of ongoing viral replication that maintains the resting CD4 cell reservoir. Increasing the potency of therapy by inhibiting new viral targets may result in a decrease in the number of latently infected cells and clearance of the latent reservoir. Addition of the fusion inhibitor T-20 to ART including reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors (PIs) may help achieve this goal. This study will evaluate whether treatment naive, chronically infected HIV patients treated with T-20 plus emtricitabine (FTC), ritonavir (RTV), saquinavir (SQV), and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) have a measurable decline in the latently infected CD4 cell reservoir. Patients and their physicians may choose different PIs than RTV and SQV, but they will not be provided by the study.

Patients in this study will receive injections of T-20 twice daily in addition to oral FTC and TDF once daily and oral RTV and SQV twice daily. At Week 24, patients will have their latent cell reservoir sampled. Patients whose HIV viral loads are less than 50 copies/ml at or after Week 24 but prior to Week 48 will continue the treatment regimen through the end of the study; their latent cell reservoirs will be tested at Weeks 48, 72, and 96. Patients whose viral loads are between 50 copies/ml and 200 copies/ml will continue the treatment regimen and latent cell sampling, but their regimens may be intensified as determined by the study team. Patients whose viral loads are 200 copies/ml or greater after Week 24 may continue their study regimens, but will no longer contribute latent cell samples.

This study will last 96 weeks. During the first 4 months of the study, patients will have 7 study visits; after that, study visits will be every 8 weeks until the end of the study. Medical history, clinical assessments, and blood collection will occur at every study visit. Pill and ENF vial counts will be assessed, and patients will be asked to complete a medication adherence questionnaire at selected study visits.
FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves extraction of flowers, fruits, root and bark of plants taken from subfamily Prunoidae, Rosoidae, Pomoidae and Maloideae of family Rosaceae and, possibly, other plants of families Fagaceae, Caesa epiniaceae and Ehenopodiaceae. Plants and parts of plants to be extracted are taken from external parts of flower of species Rosa gallica, R. multiflora, R.chinensis, R. penduline, R. damascene of subfamily Rosoidae, fruits of species Spinosa, Rubus idaeus of subfamily Prunoidae, or species Crataegus monogyna, C. oxyacantha, Malus pumile of subfamily Maloidae, and root of plant Ratenchis of family Caesalpiniaceae, or species Beta vulgaris of subfamily Chenopodiaceae, or bark of species Aneraus robus, or A. petraeae of family Fagaceae. Extraction is carried with ethanol 70-100% , preferably 96%, at 0-50 C up to the constant content of extract dry matter. Weight ratio of ethanol to the plant parts shows range from 3: 1 to 12:1. Then extract is sterilized by filtration and the content of plant extract dry matter is brought about to 0.01-0.1 wt.-% by ethanol addition. Concentrated ethanolic plant extracts promotes epithelization of damaged skin and used in the form of skin-regenerating protective pharmaceutical composition used for external treatment. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of plant extracts. 3 cl, 1 tbl
Participants assigned to this arm will not gait train for 6 months. They will engage in Exoskeleton assisted gait training for the last 6 months of the study.
The plant hormone salicylic acid (SA) plays critical roles in plant innate immunity. Several SA derivatives and associated modification are identified, whereas the range and modes of action of SA-related metabolites remain elusive. Here, the study discovered 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,4-DHBA) and its glycosylated form as native SA derivatives in plants whose accumulation is largely induced by SA application and Ps. camelliae-sinensis (Pcs) infection. CsSH1, a 4/5-hydroxylase, catalyzes the hydroxylation of SA to 2,4-DHBA, and UDP-glucosyltransferase UGT95B17 catalyzes the formation of 2,4-DHBA glucoside. Down-regulation reduced the accumulation of 2,4-DHBA glucosides and enhanced the sensitivity of tea plants to Pcs. Conversely, overexpression of UGT95B17 increased plant disease resistance. The exogenous application of 2,4-DHBA and 2,5-DHBA, as well as the accumulation of DHBA and plant resistance comparison, indicate that 2,4-DHBA functions as a potentially bioactive molecule and is stored mainly as a glucose conjugate in tea plants, differs from the mechanism described in Arabidopsis. When 2,4-DHBA is applied exogenously, UGT95B17-silenced tea plants accumulated more 2,4-DHBA than SA and showed induced resistance to Pcs infection. These results indicate that 2,4-DHBA glucosylation positively regulates disease resistance and highlight the role of 2,4-DHBA as potentially bioactive molecule in the establishment of basal resistance in tea plants.
A novel facial peel composition is disclosed for treatment of acne, acne scarring and large skin pores. The facial peel composition is non-surgical, non-laser and contains no acids that can burn or disfigure skin. Its ingredients are all natural and avoids the use of hard non-dissolving abrasives such as aluminum oxide, polymers, plastic or silica. The ingredients include sodium bicarbonate crystals, cornstarch, aloe and water. The sodium bicarbonate crystals are an antibacterial agent that remove acne causing, bacteria laden skin oil. The cornstarch aids in drawing bacteria away from the skin and into suspension for rinsing. The aloe reduces soreness and inflammation to the skin and is a known natural healing agent. A method of preparation of the composition is also disclosed.
Patients will receive from D+15 post-transplant an antiviral treatment with valganciclovir (ROVALCYTE) for the first 3 months following the transplant. Clinico-biological monitoring during the 6 months according to the usual practices of the 2 centers and monitoring of CMV DNAemia.
Patient is placed in supine position on a fluoroscopic table with a pillow under the popliteal fossa. An anterio-posterior fluoroscopic view of the tibio-femoral joint is obtained. Skin and subcutaneous tissues are anesthetized and a 17 g introducer needle is advanced percutaneously towards the junction of shaft with epicondyle until bone contact is made. The needle is then laterally displaced away from the bone. This process is performed at the superior medial and superior lateral aspects of the femur, and the inferior medial aspect of the tibia. The fluoroscope is placed in lateral view to guide the needle depth to be at the medial third of the femur or tibia. A cooled radiofrequency probe from a Pain Management Radiofrequency kit is advanced through the introducer. Following sensory and motor stimulation, cooled genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation is carried out at 60 Celsius for 150 seconds.
Laparoscopic surgery is considered to have better visualization for more accurate separation and further injury reduction than open surgery. However, the oncology outcomes are still controversial. Especially in the challenging patients who have narrow and deep pelvic, the disadvantage that it is difficult to obtain high-quality resected specimens during laparoscopic TME (laTME) surgery is considered to be magnified. It is considered transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is an alternative method to solve this "old problem". However, as a new technology that has been around for only 10 years, the applicability of taTME worldwide needs to be further proved in long-term oncology. This prospective cohort study aimed to compare taTME surgery to laTME surgery for mid and low-rectal cancer on long-term oncology outcomes from a single, experienced Chinese center that was an early adopter of taTME.

Acrylamide (ACR), a toxin present in fried and baked carbohydrate-rich foods, is known to cause liver and kidney damage. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis that contribute to liver and kidney damage induced by chronic administration of ACR. Additionally, the effectiveness of vitamin E in mitigating these toxic effects was examined. The study initially involved dividing 40 pregnant rats into four groups. After lactation, the research continued with male offspring rats from each group. The offspring rats were divided into Control, Vitamin E, ACR, and ACR + Vitamin E groups. Following ACR administration, liver and kidney function tests were performed on serum samples. Biochemical analyses, evaluation of inflammation markers, histopathological examination, and assessment of protein levels of Akt/IκBα/NF-κB, Bax, Bcl-xL, and Caspase-9 were conducted on liver and kidney tissues. The analysis demonstrated that ACR adversely affected liver and kidney function, resulting in oxidative stress, increased inflammation, and elevated apoptotic markers. Conversely, administration of vitamin E positively impacted these parameters, restoring them to control levels. Based on the results, the mechanism of ACR's action on oxidative stress and inflammation-induced liver and kidney damage may be associated with the activation of apoptotic markers such as Bax and Caspase-9, as well as the Akt/IκBα/NF-κB signaling pathway. Consequently, the protective properties of vitamin E establish it as an essential vitamin for the prevention or mitigation of various ACR-induced damages.
The goal of this study is to determine whether eco-labels denoting more sustainable menu items improve the healthfulness of participants' entrée and appetizer selections. The survey research company Cloud Research will recruit a sample of approximately 3,100 US adults ages 18+ who read and speak English.

Participants will complete a between-subjects online randomized experiment. They will perform a restaurant ordering task in which they will select menu items to order from a mock restaurant menu modeled after a popular US sit-down restaurant. They will be randomized to 1 of 2 conditions: 1) eco-labels or 2) control. In the eco-labels condition, participants will order from a restaurant menu with eco-labels next to more sustainable menu items. In the control condition, participants will order from a restaurant menu without eco-labels. The investigators will record participants' selections from the menu. After completing the ordering task, participants will complete an online survey.

The present invention involves water soluble hydroxy-substituted texaphyrins retaining lipophilicity, of formula (I) wherein: M is H, a divalent or a trivalent metal cation; R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are independently H, OH, C n H(2n+1)O y or OC n H(2n+1)O y where at least one of R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 has at least one hydroxy substituent; the molecular weight of any one of R1, R2, R3, R4 or R5 is less than or equal to about 1000 daltons; n is a positive integer or zero; y is zero or a positive integer less than or equal to (2n+ 1); and N is an integer between -20 and +2. These expanded porphyrin-like macrocycles are efficient chelators of divalent and trivalent metal ions. Various metal (e.g., transition, main group, and lanthanide) complexes of the hydroxy-substituted texaphyrin derivatives of the present invention have unusual water solubility and stability. They absorb light strongly in a physiologically important region (i.e. 690-880 nm). They have enhanced relaxivity and therefore are useful in magnetic resonance imaging. They form long-lived triplet states in high yield and act as photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen. Thus, they are useful for inactivation or destruction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), mononuclear or other cells infected with such virus as well as tumor cells. They are water soluble, yet they retain sufficient lipophilicity so as to have greater affinity for lipid rich areas such as atheroma and tumors. They may be used for magnetic resonance imaging followed by photodynamic tumor therapy in the treatment of atheroma and tumors. These properties, coupled with their high chemical stability and appreciable solubility in water, add to their usefulness.
