Despite recent advances in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, progression to a castration-resistant state remains inevitable for most and prognosis is limited. Genetic testing for homologous recombination repair pathway alterations is recommended for all patients with advanced prostate cancer given that a mutation is present in up to 25% of cases. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARPis) are now approved for use in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed on an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and harbour a germline or somatic homologous recombination repair mutation. Preclinical data support a synergistic effect with an ARPI and PARPi, and various ARPI-PARPi combinations have therefore been explored in phase III clinical trials. Despite heterogeneous findings, a clear hierarchy of benefit is evident, with patients harbouring a BRCA mutation deriving the greatest magnitude of benefit, followed by any homologous recombination repair mutation. The benefit in homologous recombination repair-proficient cohort is less clear, and questions remain about whether ARPI-PARPi combination therapy should be offered to patients without a homologous recombination repair mutation. With ARPIs now considered standard-of-care for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, ARPI-PARPi combination therapy is currently being explored earlier in the treatment paradigm. The purpose of this review is to discuss the rationale behind ARPI-PARPi combination therapy, summarise the results of key clinical trials, and discuss clinical considerations and future perspectives.

Research Plan:

General Design and Methods. The underlying goal of this study is to assess 123-I AV51 SPECT imaging as a tool to detect ß-amyloid deposition in the brain of AD research participants and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects. All study procedures will be conducted at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders (IND) and Molecular NeuroImaging (MNI) in New Haven, CT. Approximately 20 patients with Alzheimers disease (AD) and 10 healthy controls will be recruited to participate in this study. Healthy controls will be examined to ensure that there is no evidence of neurodegenerative changes including cognitive decline. Informed consent will be obtained for all. All subjects will undergo a screening evaluation including baseline clinical laboratory testing, a baseline physical and neurological evaluation and baseline cognitive evaluations. Subjects will be asked to undergo a bolus injection of 123-I AV51. Subjects will undergo serial SPECT imaging scans and serial venous plasma sampling for measurement of 123-I AV51 in plasma (both protein bound and free) over a period of up to 6 hours. Subjects may be asked to undergo a second imaging visit between 2 and 6 weeks following the initial imaging visit following similar procedures to the initial imaging visit to evaluate the reproducibility of the imaging measure using this procedure. The imaging analyses will be performed by an image-processing specialist who will remain masked to the procedures employed with each imaging acquisition. The primary imaging outcome measure will be the brain regional distribution volumes expressed as a brain tissue to plasma ratio of the radioligand, 123-I AV51. Time to the peak uptake and amplitude of the peak uptake will be evaluated for all brain regions and the results for the AD patients and controls will be compared. For those subjects undergoing repeat imaging visits, the data from the initial scan will be compared to the second scan to determine which offers the reproducibility of the imaging outcome measure.

This non-invasive system is activated by the cutaneous distribution of vagus nerve afferents through the external ear (auricle). Somatosensory innervation is provided by the auricular branch. The name of this device is vagustim device, which consists of a TENS device placed in the outer ear; headphones that can be selected to the size of the individual's ear and a TENS device in which stimulation current is given superficially. In our study, we will perform the application non-invasively by stimulating the branch of the vagus nerve in the auricle. The application time will take 20 minutes.
In the TR-PFMT group, the PFMT program was carried out via a synchronous online platform (Skype™ program). Participants were asked to install Skype™ software on their personal computers or phones and create a personal account. In the first evaluation session, participants were taught how to use the hardware and software. Additionally, they were asked to place their cameras at an average distance of 1-1.5 meters so that their entire body could be seen. At the beginning of each session, they were informed that their information was kept confidential and their audio and video images would not be shared with another person.

BACKGROUND: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often have coronary artery disease (CAD), but the biological link between them remains unclear. This study aims to explore the common pathogenesis of AF and CAD and identify common biomarkers.
METHODS: Gene expression profiles for AF and stable CAD were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Overlapping genes related to both diseases were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), followed by functional enrichment analysis. Hub genes were then identified using the machine learning algorithm. Immune cell infiltration and correlations with hub genes were explored, followed by drug predictions. Hub gene expression in AF and CAD patients was validated by real-time qPCR.
RESULTS: We obtained 28 common overlapping genes in AF and stable CAD, mainly enriched in the PI3K-Akt, ECM-receptor interaction, and relaxin signaling pathway. Two hub genes, COL6A3 and FKBP10, were positively correlated with the abundance of MDSC, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and regulatory T cells in AF and negatively correlated with the abundance of CD56dim natural killer cells in CAD. The AUCs of COL6A3 and FKBP10 were all above or close to 0.7. Drug prediction suggested that collagenase clostridium histolyticum and ocriplasmin, which target COL6A3, may be potential drugs for AF and stable CAD. Additionally, COL6A3 and FKBP10 were upregulated in patients with AF and CAD.
CONCLUSION: COL6A3 and FKBP10 may be key biomarkers for AF and CAD, providing new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
The study includes 2 parts: Part 1 and 2. Part 1 of the study tests for responsiveness to PTC923, with 14 days of open-label treatment with PTC923. At the end of treatment in Part 1, the mean change in blood Phe levels over the 14-day treatment period for all participants will be assessed against their pretreatment (baseline) blood Phe level. Participants ≥2 years of age who experience a \<15% reduction in blood Phe levels will be classified as non-responsive and participation in the study will be terminated. Participants (≥2 years of age) who experience a ≥15% reduction in blood Phe levels will continue into Part 2. Participants \<2 years of age who experience ≥15% reduction in blood Phe levels will be offered the option to enroll directly into an open-label extension Study PTC923-MD-004-PKU. Participants \<2 years of age who experience a \<15% reduction in blood Phe levels will be classified as nonresponsive, and participation in the study will be terminated. Following the minimum 14-day PTC923 washout period, all eligible participants will be randomized in Part 2 to receive either PTC923 or placebo. After 6 weeks of treatment with either PTC923 or placebo, participants will be offered the option to enter an open-label extension Study PTC923-MD-004-PKU (NCT05166161).
Group 2 (Columbia VAMC): To test the TIPS for HF educational intervention sufficiently in a sample not previously exposed to the information, the HT program at Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia, South Carolina has volunteered to participate as a second study site. There are six nurse care coordinators who will be recruited; the larger number supports recruitment of a comparable number with 25 Veterans with HF to be recruited in the second site for a total of 50 Veterans. Both groups will use a purposeful sampling plan, beginning with an IRB-approved flyer for recruitment. The demographic make-up of the Charleston VAMC group is comparable Columbia HT group in age, race, and NYHA HF class. Also, consistent with an implementation quasi-experimental pilot study, the second site will examine pre-training and post-training nurse care coordinator communication practices and Veteran outcomes before and after communication skills training.
The present invention is directed generally to metal binding compounds which may be added to cell culture media to replace factors required for cultivation of the cells (e.g. transferrin) which are of animal or human origin. More specifically, the invention is directed to metal binding compounds or complexes thereof comprising one or more transition element cations (such as ferrous or ferric ions), which are added to cell and tissue culture medium compositions. The metal binding compounds may be added to the media alone or may be first complexed with a transition metal ion. The invention is also directed to methods of use of such compositions, including, for example, methods for the cultivation of eukaryotic cells, particularly animal cells, in vitro. The invention also relates to compositions comprising such culture media and one or more cells, and to kits comprising one or more of the above-described compositions. The compositions of the present invention obviate the need for naturally derived metal-binding proteins, such as transferrin and ceruloplasmin, which may contain blood-borne pathogens.
BACKGROUND: Radiomics has been used in the diagnosis of cirrhosis and prediction of its associated complications. However, most current studies predict the risk of esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) based on image features at a single level, which results in incomplete data. Few studies have explored the use of global multi-organ radiomics for non-invasive prediction of EVB secondary to cirrhosis.
AIM: To develop a model based on clinical and multi-organ radiomic features to predict the risk of first-instance secondary EVB in patients with cirrhosis.
METHODS: In this study, 208 patients with cirrhosis were retrospectively evaluated and randomly split into training (n = 145) and validation (n = 63) cohorts. Three areas were chosen as regions of interest for extraction of multi-organ radiomic features: The whole liver, whole spleen, and lower esophagus-gastric fundus region. In the training cohort, radiomic score (Rad-score) was created by screening radiomic features using the inter-observer and intra-observer correlation coefficients and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method. Independent clinical risk factors were selected using multivariate logistic regression analyses. The radiomic features and clinical risk variables were combined to create a new radiomics-clinical model (RC model). The established models were validated using the validation cohort.
RESULTS: The RC model yielded the best predictive performance and accurately predicted the EVB risk of patients with cirrhosis. Ascites, portal vein thrombosis, and plasma prothrombin time were identified as independent clinical risk factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values for the RC model, Rad-score (liver + spleen + esophagus), Rad-score (liver), Rad-score (spleen), Rad-score (esophagus), and clinical model in the training cohort were 0.951, 0.930, 0.801, 0.831, 0.864, and 0.727, respectively. The corresponding AUC values in the validation cohort were 0.930, 0.886, 0.763, 0.792, 0.857, and 0.692.
CONCLUSION: In patients with cirrhosis, combined multi-organ radiomics and clinical model can be used to non-invasively predict the probability of the first secondary EVB.
BACKGROUND: Small cohort studies have shown rapid pleurodesis protocol's (RPP) effectiveness and capacity to expedite pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusion (MPE). This study intends to evaluate the effectiveness of the RPP in inducing pleurodesis in patients with pleural effusions from either malignant or benign etiologies.
METHODS: In this single-center, retrospective cohort study spanning 2 decades, we assessed patients with recurrent symptomatic chronic noninfectious pleural effusion, both benign and malignant. Post-RPP, chest tubes were removed when fluid output dropped below 150 mL/d, and patients were discharged with daily indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) drainage. Exclusion criteria included nonexpandable lung and active pleural infection. Treatment success was defined as IPC removal on reduced output (<50 mL) on 3 consecutive drainages and radiologic effusion resolution. Recurrence was defined as the occurrence of pleural effusion requiring additional pleural procedures postsuccess. Duration outcome was expressed as median with IPC placement as time zero.
RESULTS: Of the 210 patients studied, 72% had MPE, and 28% had benign effusions. The median hospital stay was 4 days post-RPP. Treatment was successful in 177 (84%) patients within a median of 12 days, with no significant differences between MPE and benign cases. Nine patients (5%) experienced recurrence within a median of 152 days. Complications included hemothorax in 4 (1.9%) and empyema in 2 (1%). The thirty-day mortality rate was 9%, with a median survival time of 245 days postprocedure.
CONCLUSION: The RPP combines the benefit of chemical pleurodesis and IPC and appears to be a reasonable option for patients with recurrent and symptomatic pleural effusion.
Patients receive oral placebo once daily on days 1-42. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for 9 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Infarct healing requires a dynamic and orchestrated inflammatory reaction following myocardial infarction (MI). While an uncontrolled excessive inflammatory response exaggerates ischemic injury post-MI, M2-like reparative macrophages may facilitate inflammation regression and promote myocardial healing. However, how protein post-translational modification regulates post-MI cardiac repair and dynamic myeloid activation remains unknown. Here we show that M2-like reparative, but not M1-like inflammatory activation, is enhanced by pharmacologically-induced hyper-O-GlcNAcylation. Mechanistically, myeloid knockdown of O-GlcNAc hydrolase O-GlcNAcase (Oga), which also results in hyper-O-GlcNAcylation, positively regulates M2-like activation in a STAT6-dependent fashion, which is controlled by O-GlcNAcylation of STAT6. Of note, both systemic and local supplementation of thiamet-G (TMG), an Oga inhibitor, effectively facilitates cardiac recovery in mice by elevating the accumulation of M2-like macrophages in infarcted hearts. Our study provides a novel clue for monocyte/macrophage modulating therapies aimed at reducing post-MI hyperinflammation in ischemic myocardium.
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is the most common form of hair loss. It starts in adolescence and is mainly characterized by progressive hair follicle miniaturization. In the continuous hair cycle process, the pathological hair follicle mesenchymal niche in the hair loss area is continuously damaged. The mesenchymal cells are continuously consumed, resulting in functional disorder, gradually losing the ability to induce the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicle epidermal cells to form hair follicles. This process eventually leads to the complete miniaturization and loss of hair follicles. Presently, non-surgical treatments for AGA, such as minoxidil or finasteride, have great individual differences in the effectiveness in different populations and may not achieve the expected effect of patients with advanced AGA, although they are still recommended as first-line drugs for androgenic alopecia.

Hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs) included dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and dermal sheath cells (DSCs). Similar to other types of mesenchymal stem cells, HF-MSCs possess stem cell characteristics such as multidirectional differentiation potential, the ability of integrated homing to a specific niche, and secretion of exosomes and cytokines, which have great application prospects. HF-MSCs are considered an important therapeutic agent to promote hair growth. A previous study has indicated that injection of DPC spheres can promote hair growth on the back of mice. A double-blind clinical trial in Japan confirmed that treatment of the expanded dermal sheath cup cells (DSCCs) of healthy human hair follicles could promote the growth of hair follicles in the hair loss area of the forehead. However, the population and stage of AGA for which HF-MSC therapy is effective have not yet been reported. The investigators conducted a randomized clinical trial, extracted hair follicles from the human occipital area, prepared an HF-MSC suspension and locally injected it into the forehead hair loss area. Through follow-up observations, this study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of autologous hair follicle mesenchymal stem cell therapy in the treatment of AGA. The investigators expounded the possible effective population and stage.
Dasatinib 100 mg per day will be given orally along with combination chemotherapy starting day 8 of induction chemotherapy. Dasatinib will be given continuously (if it's tolerable) for 2 years since achievement of complete remission (CR) as part of consolidation chemotherapy and maintenance therapy.Patients can receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT),or patients who keep BCR/ABL negative can receive autologous HSCT whenever possible during their first CR. Otherwise, they will finish the consolidation chemotherapy.
INTRODUCTION: Intrapancreatic activation of trypsinogen caused by alcohol or high-fat intake and the subsequent autodigestion of the pancreas tissues by trypsin are indispensable events in the development of acute pancreatitis. In addition to this trypsin-centered paradigm, recent studies provide evidence that innate immune responses triggered by translocation of intestinal bacteria to the pancreas due to intestinal barrier dysfunction underlie the immunopathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. Although severe acute pancreatitis is often associated with pancreatic colonization by fungi, the molecular mechanisms linking fungus-induced immune responses to the development of severe acute pancreatitis are poorly understood. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a multifunctional protein that mediates innate immune responses to fungi and bacteria. Mutations in Lrrk2 is a risk factor for Parkinson's disease and Crohn's disease, both of which are driven by innate immune responses to gut organisms.
DISCUSSION: In this Minireview article, we discuss how activation of LRRK2 by the recognition of fungi induces severe acute pancreatitis.
When confronted with a severe to profound congenital bilateral hearing loss, cochlear implantation is considered to be the preferential treatment method as it restaures auditory function and enables language acquisition for communication purposes. When cochlear implantation is done before 2 and a half years old, better results are obtained in terms of language, communication and social developement, as well as reading skills. However when a cochlear implantation occurs between 2 and 5 years of age, speech and language skills do develop but communication and reading skills are altered. Therefore, when a cochlear implant is placed before the age of 2 and a half we find ourselves within the maximal cerebral plasticity window for speech, language and communication developement.

This study is divided into two cohorts, the first aged 10-24 months and the second 3-7 years. All children will be seen for 5 sessions, spread out at regular intervals, over a period of 18 months and will participate in two perceptual tasks and two cognitive tasks. The children will also have a speech and language assessment at T-0 and T+12. The cochlear implanted patients will continue to be seen by the ENT service and the sessions will be organised to coincide with their natural follow up. As it is a non-interventional study, no follow-up would be needed. After the study patients will continue to receive the same quality of care.
The total available sample for analysis for this cohort is estimated to be at least 50,000 incidents across 6 ambulance trusts. The investigators will describe the epidemiology of CFR provision to rural health areas using an anonymised dataset.
