The invention relates to a method for preventing iodine radionuclide damage to the human or animal body. A bound form of 4-hydroxy 3,5-diiodophenyl-containing compounds, for example within protein or peptide molecules, is introduced orally into the body preferably twice in a period of 24 hours at an interval of 10-14 hours in an amount of 10-200 mg of iodine. A single dose of the preparation must be 100-1000 times greater than the physiological requirement of iodine. Iodized organic compounds may be introduced into the body as a component of food, beverages, biologically active feed supplements, different forms of vitamin and mineral premixes, and different feed products. Feeds are fortified using a solid or liquid form of the preparation. The claimed method makes it possible to protect not only the thyroid gland itself, but also peripheral tissues involved in iodine metabolism against iodine radionuclides.
BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation constitutes the most effective therapeutic option for patients suffering from end-stage renal disease but remains burdened by a high incidence of cardiovascular disease. To date, exercise is an important preventive strategy that has been underestimated; in kidney transplant patients, exercise programs lead to an improvement in cardiorespiratory performance, muscle strength, arterial stiffness, and patients' quality of life perception.
SUMMARY: The nephrology and transplant community have moved from generic suggestions to specific indications regarding frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, and progression of physical exercise both in the pre- and posttransplant phase. The latest guidelines from the World Health Organization for patients with chronic conditions propose a combination of aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and multicomponent exercises (e.g., balance) to improve health. Based on recent evidence, a combined exercise program (aerobic and strength exercise) is largely proposed to kidney transplant recipients. Aerobic exercise should be performed at an intensity >60% of theoretical maximum heart rate or maximum oxygen uptake possibly every day, and strength training should be performed at a >60% the estimate single maximum repetition, at least 2 times per week.
KEY MESSAGES: Physical exercise should be personalized in relation to the patient's baseline performance; increases must be progressive and gradual. Regular physical activity should also be recommended to patients awaiting for a transplant. Eventually, organizational models based on a network of nephrology units, transplant centers, sports medicine centers, and fitness center or outdoor gym are essential elements for overcoming the logistical barriers for prescribing and carrying out regular physical activity.
While preventing renal damage and symptomatic urinary tract infection are of paramount importance to persons with a spinal cord lesion (SCL), patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are receiving much more attention than ever before. We performed a cross-sectional internet survey of 282 adult members of SCL patient advocacy groups and investigated, for the first time, the impact of different types of urinary catheter, including a Japanese reusable silicone catheter and a reusable intermittent balloon catheter, on PROs of persons with SCL. Intermittent self-catheterization (ISC) did not surpass continuous indwelling catheterization in terms of a disease-specific urinary quality of life. Urinary incontinence, regular ISC, and performing ISC away from home confronted these individuals. Work productivity and regular activities correlated fairly well with the disease-specific urinary quality of life. Bowel management problems affected all PROs evaluated. The absence of differences in PROs among the types of catheter used for ISC implies that Japanese reusable catheters have the potential to benefit selected persons with SCL. Further research is warranted to develop measures for maximizing work productivity by overcoming urinary as well as bowel problems.

The efficacy of transplanting human cranial bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hcMSCs) cultured under simulated microgravity (sMG) conditions has been previously reported; however, their effect on cerebral infarction remains unknown. Here, we examined the efficacy of transplanting hcMSCs cultured in an sMG environment into rat models of cerebral infarction. For evaluating neurological function, hcMSCs cultured in either a normal gravity (1G) or an sMG environment were transplanted in rats 1 day after inducing cerebral infarction. The expression of endogenous neurotrophic, axonal, neuronal, synaptogenic, angiogenic, and apoptosis-related factors in infarcted rat brain tissue was examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting 35 days after stroke induction. The RNAs of hcMSCs cultured under 1G or sMG environments were sequenced. The results showed that neurological function was significantly improved after transplantation of hcMSCs from the sMG group compared with that from the 1G group. mRNA expressions of nerve growth factor, fibroblast growth factor 2, and synaptophysin were significantly higher in the sMG group than in the 1G group, whereas sortilin 1 expression was significantly lower. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that genes related to cell proliferation, angiogenesis, neurotrophy, neural and synaptic organization, and inhibition of cell differentiation were significantly upregulated in the sMG group. In contrast, genes promoting microtubule and extracellular matrix formation and cell adhesion, signaling, and differentiation were downregulated. These results demonstrate that hcMSCs cultured in the sMG environment may be a useful source of stem cells for the recovery of neurological function after cerebral infarction.
PURPOSE:To obtain a both agent, effective for neuroses such as sheumatism and prosopalgia, etc. and various dermatopathies, by incorporating a dried powder of a beehive with herbal powder, having drug effect on the deromatopathies, and rich in light green dyestuff. CONSTITUTION:A beehive, e.g. an empty beehive of wasps or scoliids built in soil or a dead tree, is dried to give powder, which is as a main constituent incorporated with a herbal powder, e.g. a leaf of Sasa albo-marginata or mugwort, having drug effect on mainly dermatopathies, and rich in light green dyestuff. The addition of the herb reduces the color of hot and cold water darkening in the case of only the powder of the beehive, and an offensive smell is reduced.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: One of the confounding factors in pancreatic cancer (PC) pathogenesis is hyperglycemia. The molecular mechanism by which high glucose (HG) influences PC severity is poorly understood. Our investigation delved into the impact of lncRNA highly upregulated in liver cancer (HULC) and its interaction with yes-associated protein (YAP) in regulating the fate of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells (PDAC) under HG-induced conditions. PDAC cells were cultured under normal or HG conditions. We thereafter measured the effect of HG on the viability of PDAC cells, their migration potential and drug resistance properties. The lncRNAs putatively dysregulated in PC and diabetes were shortlisted by bioinformatics analysis followed by wet lab validation of function.
RESULTS: HG led to enhanced proliferation and drug refractoriness in PDAC cells. HULC was identified as one of the major deregulated lncRNAs following bioinformatics analysis. HULC was found to regulate the expression of the potent transcriptional regulator - YAP through selective histone modifications at the YAP promoter. siRNA-mediated ablation of HULC resulted in a concurrent decrease in YAP transcriptional activity. Importantly, HULC and YAP were found to co-operatively regulate the cellular homeostatic process autophagy, thus inculcating drug resistance and proliferative potential in PDAC cells. Moreover, inhibition of autophagy or YAP led to a decrease in HULC levels, suggesting the existence of an inter-regulatory feedback loop.
CONCLUSIONS: We observed that HG triggers aggressive properties in PDAC cells. Mechanistically, up-regulation of lncRNA HULC resulted in activation of YAP and differential regulation of autophagy coupled to increased proliferation of PDAC cells.
SIGNIFICANCE: Inhibition of HULC and YAP may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for PDAC. Furthermore, this study portrays the intricate molecular interplay between HULC, YAP and autophagy in PDAC pathogenesis.

Communicating personalized information to patients about the risks, benefits and other critical information about dental disease and treatment is often difficult for providers. In this proposal we seek to develop a novel informed consent system that can accurately translate and communicate information to patients in a standardized and effective manner based on their diagnosis and prescribed treatment. We aim to integrate SmartConsent into the institutional electronic patient record (EPR). This research is translational as it seeks to determine how providers can better communicate information to patients so they can make appropriate decisions about dental treatments and options.

The advent of electronic health records allows an informed consent document to be automatically personalized based on a patient's demographic profile, literacy level, language preference, and prior medical history. A computerized consent also allows the presentation of information in a format beyond text such as through the use of multimedia. Further, in a computer-based consent, we can quickly test a patient's knowledge about a diagnosis and procedure to ensure that key information has been delivered. In this proposal we seek to discover if a computer-based informed consent is more effective in educating patients about common oral health disease and treatment (e.g., reason for extracting a tooth, causes of periodontal disease, risks associated with dental implants). We also seek to determine its feasibility in a real clinical practice by measuring time taken and impact on workflow compared to the traditional consent process.

The World Health Organization (WHO) indexed cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a leading foundation for human death in developing as well as developed countries. Ischemic necrosis of the myocardium is called myocar¬dial infarction. Despite improvements in medical and interventional therapies in recent years, acute myocar¬dial infarction is still an important cause of mortal¬ity and morbidity. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, water-soluble gas and is an endogenously produced labile diffusible mediator with multiple roles in the cardiovascular system in health and disease. H2S is endogenously generated, and cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) are key enzymes involved in its biological production. Once interacting with carbon monoxide and nitric oxide, H2S will initiate a unique gaseous signaling net¬work and participate in the regulation of multiple patho¬physiological processes. Plasma H2S levels negatively correlated with HbA1c, duration of diabetes, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most frequent type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Mastectomies remain a key component of the treatment of non-metastatic breast cancer, and strategies to treat acute postoperative pain, a complication affecting nearly all patients undergoing surgery, continues to be an important clinical challenge. This study aimed to determine the impact of intraoperative methadone administration compared to conventional short-acting opioids on pain-related perioperative outcomes in women undergoing a mastectomy.
METHODS: This single-center retrospective study included adult women undergoing total mastectomy. The primary outcome of this study was postoperative pain intensity on day 1 after surgery. Secondary outcomes included perioperative opioid consumption, perioperative non-opioid analgesics use, duration of surgery and anesthesia, time to extubation, pain intensity in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), anti-emetic use in PACU, and length of stay in hospital. We used the propensity score-based nearest matching with a 1:3 ratio to balance the patient baseline characteristics.
RESULTS: 133 patients received methadone, and 2192 patients were treated with short-acting opioids. The analysis demonstrated that methadone was associated with significantly lower intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption as measured by oral morphine equivalents and lower average pain intensity scores in the postanesthesia care unit. Moreover, methadone was also shown to reduce the use of non-opioid analgesia during surgery.
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that the unique pharmacological properties of methadone, including a short onset of action when given intravenously, long-acting pharmacokinetics, and multimodal effects, are associated with better acute pain management after a total mastectomy.
BACKGROUND: Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio (SHR) reflects the acute blood glucose variation in critically ill conditions. However, its prognostic value in chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains understudied. This study aimed to investigate the association between SHR and one-year mortality in CKD patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
METHODS: Patients with diagnosis of CKD in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database were enrolled. Incidence of all-cause mortality within one-year follow-up was used as the primary endpoint.
RESULTS: 1825 CKD patients were included in the study. A "U-shaped" relationship between SHR and one-year mortality as identified using multivariate restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. Then study population were categorized into three groups: Group 1 (SHR < 0.70), Group 2 (0.70 ≤ SHR ≤ 0.95) and Group 3 (SHR > 0.95). Group 2 showed significantly better one-year outcomes compared to the other two groups (p = 0.0031). This survival benefit persisted across subgroup analyses stratified by age, sex, CKD stage, anemia and various clinical conditions.
CONCLUSION: SHR proved to be a meaningful biomarker for predicting one-year mortality in ICU-admitted CKD patients, with a "U-shaped" correlation. The identification of the optimal SHR range (0.70-0.95) provided clinicians with a valuable tool for detecting high-risk populations.
With Metal-on-Metal (MoM) articulations leaving the marked the THA bearing choice for younger patients is currently debated and overall the choice stands between CoC and MoP. New HXLPE is wear-resistant and safe and clinical HXLPE wear (RSA) hardly exceed the wear measured in retrieval CoC implants. For CoC articulations stripe wear on edge loading is a reported problem leading to increased wear in examined retrieval components and CoC wear is dependent on component position. Although the risk is very small, CoC bearings are at still at risk of fracture, and functional squeaking is a complication that adversely affects the quality of life in about 1% of CoC THA patient. Dual mobility MoP cups were designed for reducing hip dislocations in older patients treated with THA after medial hip fractures. The concept provides good stability and mobility and may also be an optimal solution for younger and active patients; however, dual mobility MoP has not previously been documented for use in younger patients. The anatomical dual mobility (ADM) cup design (Stryker) is soft tissue sparing (iliopsoas tendon) potentially leading to lesser groin-pain and squeaking is not a concern. It is currently unknown if the outer-articulation of the dual mobility PE liner keeps moving over time or could impinge in the joint capsule in an undesirable position and result in unwanted edge loading and higher wear-rates. Metal ions are produced even in MoP bearings and even though in dual-articulation MoP bearings most (90%) of the motion is believed to occur between the head and liner (ceramic-polyenthylene), the metal ion levels may be higher than expected for MoP hips (large poly contact in metal shell), while expectedly there will be no metal ions in CoC THA.

Each region is coded positive in presence of ≥3 B-lines simultaneously on a frozen image or in presence of significant pleural effusion (i.e. extending over the costophrenic angle). A 4-level congestion score is defined: absence of congestion (0-1 positive points), mild congestion (2-3 positive points), moderate congestion (4-5 positive points) and severe congestion (6-8 positive points).
The exclusive transcanal endoscopic tympanoplasty technique emerged in the1990s : it provides a more direct and wider surgical viewing angle, largely reduces the necessity for a traumatic postauricular incision. Some otolgists have adopted this technique using the nearby tragal perichondrium/cartilage graft. The tragus has a pivotal function in reconstruction in ear surgery. The superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) was first introduced by Mits and Peyroniein1976. It is located in the mid-face overlying the parotid gland and mimic muscles, It connects the dermis and the muscles, acting as a unique motor unit to produce facial expressions. The SMAS graft has great potential because it is accessible from the least invasive transcanal route of tympanoplasty, and is located away from the vital structures.
Placental growth is most rapid during the first trimester (FT) of pregnancy, making it vulnerable to metabolic and endocrine influences. Obesity, with its inflammatory and oxidative stress, can cause cellular damage. We hypothesized that maternal obesity increases DNA damage in the FT placenta, affecting DNA damage response and trophoblast turnover. Examining placental tissue from lean and obese non-smoking women (4-12 gestational weeks), we observed higher overall DNA damage in obesity (COMET assay). Specifically, DNA double-strand breaks were found in villous cytotrophoblasts (vCTB; semi-quantitative γH2AX immunostaining), while oxidative DNA modifications (8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine; FPG-COMET assay) were absent. Increased DNA damage in obese FT placentas did not correlate with enhanced DNA damage sensing and repair. Indeed, obesity led to reduced expression of multiple DNA repair genes (mRNA array), which were further shown to be influenced by inflammation through in vitro experiments using tumor necrosis factor-α treatment on FT chorionic villous explants. Tissue changes included elevated vCTB apoptosis (TUNEL assay; caspase-cleaved cytokeratin 18), but unchanged senescence (p16) and reduced proliferation (Ki67) of vCTB, the main driver of FT placental growth. Overall, obesity is linked to heightened non-oxidative DNA damage in FT placentas, negatively affecting trophoblast growth and potentially leading to temporary reduction in early fetal growth.
