After HEMGENIX administration, regularly monitor patient's Factor IX activity levels.

When using an in vitro activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)-based one-stage clotting assay (OSA) for determining Factor IX activity, plasma Factor IX activity results can be affected by both the type of aPTT reagent and the reference standard used in the assay. This is important to consider particularly when changing the laboratory and/or reagents used in the assay. Therefore, the same assay and reagents are recommended to be used to monitor Factor IX activity over time.

The results of Factor IX activity tests are lower if measured with chromogenic substrate assay (CSA) compared to OSA.

In the clinical efficacy study with HEMGENIX, the post-dose Factor IX activity measured with CSA returned lower values with the mean CSA to OSA Factor IX activity ratio ranging from 0.41 to 0.55.

Monitor patients through appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests for the development of inhibitors to Factor IX after HEMGENIX administration. Perform an assay that detects Factor IX inhibitors if bleeding is not controlled, or plasma Factor IX activity levels decrease.
Lacosamide was the first approved third-generation antiepileptic drug. However, real-world data regarding its adverse cardiac reactions in large samples still need to be completed. We evaluated the cardiac safety profile of lacosamide using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). We performed disproportionality analysis computing reporting odds ratio (ROR) as a quantitative metric to assess the signal of lacosamide-related cardiac adverse events (AEs) from 2013 Q1 to 2022 Q4. The signal was considered significant when the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the ROR exceeded 1, and ≥ 5 AEs were reported. Serious and nonserious cases were compared by statistical analysis, and signals were further prioritized using a rating scale. A total of 812 cardiac AEs associated with lacosamide were identified, and 92 signals were detected, of which 17 AEs were significantly associated signals. The median time-to-onset (TTO) for moderate priority signals was 10 days, whereas for weak priority signals, it was 54 days. Notably, all cardiac AEs exhibited an early failing pattern, indicating the risk gradually decreasing. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the FAERS database and prioritization of cardiac AE signals, our research enhances the awareness among healthcare professionals regarding cardiac AEs associated with lacosamide.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A comprehensive nutritional management is necessary for favourable outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to assess the changes in nutritional status and disease progression with nutritional management where renal replacement therapy (RRT) was not in place.
METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN: A quasi-experiment intervention was conducted on 70 CKD patients at stages 3-5 from July to December 2022. Participants were excluded if they underwent RRT, including dialy-sis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), or kidney transplantation. The nutritional regimen covered nutrition-al counseling, samples of the dietary menu, and supplement products. We evaluated nutritional status using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) scale and sub-clinical blood test at T0 (hospital admission) and T1 (two weeks after the admission or 24 hours before the discharge).
RESULTS: After the intervention, the number of patients classified as malnutrition or at risk of malnourished reduced significantly (65.7% to 54.3% and 25.7% and 5.7%, respectively). The serum concentration of urea, creatinine and parathyroid hormone decreased remarkably, especially in patients receiving nutritional management. In the intervention group, the dietary pattern provided increased intakes of calcium and iron at T1, while phosphorus, sodium and potassium decreased after follow-up. Nausea/vomiting, loss of appetite, tiredness and sleep disorders were improved in the intervention compared to the control group.
CONCLUSIONS: Nutritional therapy enhanced the nutritional sta-tus, and quality of dietary and renal function in CKD patients without RRT. Applying nutrition education and treatment at an early stage can slow CKD progression, which should be applicable elsewhere in Vietnam.
This study is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of topical GW870086 to explore the potential for skin thinning in healthy adult volunteers after 42±2 days of treatment. The primary objective of this study is to assess the thickness of the skin using ultrasound. The secondary objectives are to assess skin thinning using a visual scale for skin atrophy and telangiectasia, safety and tolerability of GW870086 and to assess the pharmacokinetics of GW870086 administered as a cream for 42±2 days.

Twenty (20) healthy volunteers will be randomised to receive placebo and GW870086 2% cream. They will also receive either of the following treatments: GW870086 0.2% cream, or clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream. Subjects will apply all 3 treatments once daily during the 42±2 day treatment period. However subjects who are randomised to receive the unblinded clobetasol propionate will only apply this once daily for a maximum of 21±2 days but will continue to dose with the other 2 treatments. If significant evidence of skin thinning is observed in any of the treatment arms (25% reduction in skin thickness measured using ultrasound) then application of this treatment will be discontinued. Three areas of approximately 5 x 5 cm on the arm will be identified and each treatment will be applied to the same area throughout the 42±2 day treatment period.

The vitamin composition preferably further contains a (bi)carbonate, a hydroxide, shell powder, petrified sea alga powder, coral powder or dolomite powder as an alkaline raw material.
Chronic liver injury induces liver cirrhosis and facilitates hepatocarcinogenesis. However, the effects of this condition on hepatocyte proliferation and differentiation are unclear. We showed that rodent hepatocytes display a ductular phenotype when they are cultured within a collagenous matrix. This process involves transdifferentiation without the emergence of hepatoblastic features and is at least partially reversible. During the ductular reaction in chronic liver diseases with progressive fibrosis, some hepatocytes, especially those adjacent to ectopic ductules, demonstrate ductular transdifferentiation, but the majority of increased ductules originate from the existing bile ductular system that undergoes extensive remodeling. In chronic injury, hepatocyte proliferation is weak but sustained, and most regenerative nodules in liver cirrhosis are composed of clonally proliferating hepatocytes, suggesting that a small fraction of hepatocytes maintain their proliferative capacity in chronic injury. In mouse hepatocarcinogenesis models, hepatocytes activate the expression of various fetal/neonatal genes, indicating that these cells undergo dedifferentiation. Hepatocyte-specific somatic integration of various oncogenes in mice demonstrated that hepatocytes may be the cells of origin for a broad spectrum of liver tumors through transdifferentiation and dedifferentiation. In conclusion, the phenotypic plasticity and heterogeneity of mature hepatocytes are important for understanding the pathogenesis of chronic liver diseases and liver tumors.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject medicine having effect to lower lipid (triglyceride) content in liver and capable of preventing and/or treating hepar adiposum by including a pyrrolecarboxylic acid-derivative as an active ingredient. SOLUTION: This medicine contains a pyrrolecarboxylic acid-derivative shown by the formula [R<1> is H, a 5-25C alkyl or alkenyl; R<2> is H, phenyl, or a 1-10C (substituted) alkyl; R<3> is H, a 5-25C alkyl or alkenyl] (e.g. 4- tridecylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid), a salt thereof, hydrates of these, or solvates of these, as an active ingredient. The medicine can be prepared for oral and non-oral administration. In the case of oral administration for adult, it is preferable to administered in a dose of 0.01-1000 mg in one or more portions per day. Such administration allows prevention/treatment of diseases such as hepar adiposum, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis, all of which are considered to be caused by accumulation of lipid in the liver.
Mapping the small venous vasculature of the hippocampus in vivo is crucial for understanding how functional changes of hippocampus evolve with age. Oxygen utilization in the hippocampus could serve as a sensitive biomarker for early degenerative changes, surpassing hippocampal tissue atrophy as the main source of information regarding tissue degeneration. Using an ultrahigh field (7T) susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) sequence, it is possible to capture oxygen-level dependent contrast of submillimeter-sized vessels. Moreover, the quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) results derived from SWI data allow for the simultaneous estimation of venous oxygenation levels, thereby enhancing the understanding of hippocampal function. In this study, we proposed two potential imaging markers in a cohort of 19 healthy volunteers aged between 20 and 74 years. These markers were: 1) hippocampal venous density on SWI images and 2) venous susceptibility (Δχvein) in the hippocampus-associated draining veins (the inferior ventricular veins (IVV) and the basal veins of Rosenthal (BVR) using QSM images). They were chosen specifically to help characterize the oxygen utilization of the human hippocampus and medial temporal lobe (MTL). As part of the analysis, we demonstrated the feasibility of measuring hippocampal venous density and Δχvein in the IVV and BVR at 7T with high spatial resolution (0.25 × 0.25 × 1 mm3). Our results demonstrated the in vivo reconstruction of the hippocampal venous system, providing initial evidence regarding the presence of the venous arch structure within the hippocampus. Furthermore, we evaluated the age effect of the two quantitative estimates and observed a significant increase in Δχvein for the IVV with age (p=0.006, r2 = 0.369). This may suggest the potential application of Δχvein in IVV as a marker for assessing changes in atrophy-related hippocampal oxygen utilization in normal aging and neurodegenerative diseases such as AD and dementia.
Upon meeting the inclusion criteria and providing informed consent, each participant will complete a series of cognitive assessments and tDCS at the hospital outpatient clinics or inpatient department. Participants were randomly allocated to anode tDCS group with cognitive training, anode tDCS group and the sham group. There are about 20 participants in each group. Participants were studied using a double-blind design. Study participants and all personnel responsible for the effects of the participants remained masked to allocated condition and allocation parameters. Only tDCS administrators had access to the randomization list; they had minimal contact with the participants, and no role in cognitive assessments. For the first 30 participants, allocation was decided by draw. For the subsequent 30 patients, allocation was according to computer generated random numbers. Each participant would be treated for 10 days in two weeks by HD-tDCS.

Before the tDCS, a series of cognitive assessments and neuropsychological tests were obtained by a trained investigator to assess baseline. Each assessment will involve a set of assessment tools, including Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and associative memory as the primary outcome measure and various other tasks and questionnaires to measure cognition(DS, Stroop test, VFT, SDMT), memory (AVLT, AMT, working memory test), emotion(HAMA-17, HAMD-14, eye-tracking technolodgy), executive function(SST, WSCT, GDT) and stimulation tolerability. All the tests are conducted in two days. The participants had receiving a magnetic resonance imaging scan in multi-modalities, and electroencephalography (EEG) record.

Evaluations were conducted one week after treatment and at the end of two weeks of treatment, as well as the Global Index of Safety to assess adverse events of the stimulation. Participants were instructed to focus their answers on the past 7/14 days. The participants had also receiving a battery measure of neuropsychological tests, magnetic resonance imaging scan in multi-modalities, and EEG record. All tests were instructed to finished within 24 hours after the last stimulation. One month and three months after the last stimulation, participants were interviewed to obtain the same assessment as before. They were instructed to focus their answers on the past months.

Zika virus (ZIKV) remains a public health concern, with epidemics in endemic regions and sporadic outbreaks in new areas posing significant threats. Several mosquito-borne flaviviruses that can cause human illness, including West Nile, Usutu, and St. Louis encephalitis, have associations with birds. However, the susceptibility of chickens to ZIKV and their role in viral epidemiology is not currently known. We investigated the susceptibility of chickens to experimental ZIKV infection using chickens ranging from 1-day-old chicks to 6-week-old birds. ZIKV caused no clinical signs in chickens of all age groups tested. Viral RNA was detected in the blood and tissues during the first 5 days post-inoculation in 1-day and 4-day-old chicks inoculated with a high viral dose, but ZIKV was undetectable in 6-week-old birds at all timepoints. Minimal antibody responses were observed in 6-week-old birds, and while present in younger chicks, they waned by 28 days post-infection. Innate immune responses varied significantly between age groups. Robust type I interferon and inflammasome responses were measured in older chickens, while limited innate immune activation was observed in younger chicks. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) is a major driver of host restriction to ZIKV, and chicken STAT2 is distinct from human STAT2, potentially contributing to the observed resistance to ZIKV infection. The rapid clearance of the virus in older chickens coincided with an effective innate immune response, highlighting age-dependent susceptibility. Our study indicates that chickens are not susceptible to productive ZIKV infection and are unlikely to play a role in the ZIKV epidemiology.

BACKGROUND: Recently, the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNL) has been increasing, and several studies have suggested that depression, anxiety, and SNL may be associated with each other, however, individual findings still have discrepancies. To the best of our knowledge, no scholars have systematically elucidated the bidirectional associations between SNL, depression, and anxiety disorders from the perspective of meta-analysis. In this study, we aimed to systematically evaluate the bidirectional associations between SHL and depressive and anxiety symptoms, and to provide evidence-based medical evidence for reducing SNL, depression, and anxiety disorders.
METHODS: We performed systematic review based on priori protocol that was registered with PROSPERO (No. CRD42022365963). Systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases identified articles published as of June 1, 2023, on the relationship between SNL and depression and anxiety. Meta-analysis was performed to calculate the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the outcome metrics, and the results were combined to assess bivariate associations between the disorders with fixed or random effects. Sensitivity and subgroup analyzes were conducted to analyze sources of heterogeneity, and Egger's and Begg's tests combined with funnel plots were applied to assess publication bias.
RESULTS: Summary analysis of the results of 20 studies covering 675,291 individuals showed that the bidirectional association between SNL and depression and anxiety disorders. The incidence (OR = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.09-0.28) and risk (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.32-1.55) of depression and morbidity were higher in SNL patients than the general population. Elevated prevalence (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.28-0.65) and risk (OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.11-1.48) of SNL were also observed in depressed patients. The prevalence of anxiety disorders among SNL patients was about 40% (OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.24%-0.57), which was associated with higher risk (OR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.42-2.24) of development than the general population. Incidence of SNL in patients with anxiety disorders was approximately 31% (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.29-0.33). Additionally, subgroup analyzes showed that the bidirectional associations between SNL, depression, and anxiety disorders was influenced by age, region, and mode of diagnosis of the disorders (SNL, depression, anxiety).
CONCLUSION: There are bidirectional associations between SNL and depression and anxiety disorders, which was influenced by age and region and the method the disorders (SNL, depression, anxiety) were diagnosed.
