The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to an immune polypeptide-based derivative, a modified T cell and application thereof. The main technical problem to be solved by the invention is that the duration time of the effector T cells in the body is short and the effect is not ideal. The technical scheme for solving the technical problem is to provide a DSPE-PEG modified polypeptide which is obtained by modifying a polypeptide with an amino acid sequence VQWRIRVAVIRK by DSPE-PEG. The polypeptide can modify T cells. The polypeptide can be used for modifying various T cells used in adoptive T cell therapy, prolonging the duration of the T cells in vivo and enhancing the immune effect of the T cells. Has good application prospect in cancer treatment.
Non-Hispanic black (NHB) women are 49% more likely to experience a preterm birth (PTB), delivery before 37 weeks. PTB is associated with increased risk of poor short and long-term neonatal outcomes. PTB can occur in multiple clinical scenarios including spontaneous PTB (e.g. preterm labor, preterm pre-labor rupture of membranes) and medically induced preterm labor (e.g. preeclampsia). Women with a history of PTB are at 1.5 - 2 fold increased risk for future PTB. There are medical therapies than can reduce the risk of recurrent PTB specific to the presumed etiology of the prior PTB. Thus, women with a history of a prior PTB who receive care with Duke Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) receive and Individualized Prematurity Prevention Plan (IP3) to reduce their risk of recurrent PTB. The IP3 plans are often labor intensive with requirements ranging from daily medications, weekly clinic visits, painful injections or invasive ultrasounds.

Given the increased rate so of PTB among NHB women and some suggestion of decreased adherence in this population1, we previously conducted qualitative studies with NHB women to uncover patient perceived barriers to IP3 adherence2,3. These studies revealed that NHB women with prior preterm birth felt that stress and lack of support were key barriers to preterm birth prevention adherence. Stress and limited support made women feel isolated from their peers and community. Based on these data we worked with a stakeholder group to develop a patient-centered, community-involved intervention that will increased adherence to an individualized prematurity prevention plan using community-level social supports. The resulting invention titled, EngagINg the COmmunity to Reduce Preterm Birth via Adherence To an Individualized Prematurity Prevention Plan (INCORPorATe IP3) includes community doula led group social support.
A 10-cycle experimental ventilation will be carried out at each level of positive end expiratory pressure after intubation, and the driving pressure of the last cycle will be recorded. The positive end expiratory pressure value corresponding to the lowest driving pressure is recognised as the optimal ventilation parameter.
Participants first received AIC316 100 mg once daily for 28 days. After a washout period of 28 days, they then received Valacyclovir 500 mg once daily for 28 days.
BACKGROUND: No sex-specific guidelines for surgical anti-obesity strategies have been proposed, partially due to the controversy regarding sex-related differences in weight loss after bariatric metabolic surgery.
OBJECTIVES: To explore sex dimorphism in the effect and predictors of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), thereby providing clinical evidence for the sex-specific surgical treatment strategy.
METHODS: In a prospective cohort design, participants scheduled for SG at an affiliated hospital between November 2020 and January 2022 were assessed for eligibility and allocated to the Male or Female group with a 1-year follow-up after surgery. The primary outcome was the sex difference in the weight-loss effect after SG indicated by both percentage of total weight loss (TWL%) and excess weight loss (EWL%). The secondary outcome was the analysis of sex-specific preoperative predictors of weight loss after SG based on univariate and multivariate analyses. Independent predictors were obtained to construct a nomogram model. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of the nomogram were based on receiver operating characteristic curve, concordance index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis, respectively.
RESULTS: Ninety-five male and 226 female patients were initially included. After propensity score matching by baseline body mass index (BMI), 85 male and 143 female patients achieved comparable TWL% and EWL% for 1 year after SG. For male patients, baseline BMI, area under the curve for insulin during oral glucose tolerance test, and progesterone were independent predictors of weight loss after SG. Baseline BMI, age, thyroid stimulating hormone, and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale score were independent predictors for female patients.
CONCLUSION: No obvious sex difference is detected in the weight-loss effect after SG. Sex dimorphism exists in the predictors of weight loss after SG. Further research with long-term and a multicenter design is needed to confirm the predictive model.
* Concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reserve concomitant prescribing of these drugs in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate. Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required. Follow patients for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1) and Drug Interactions ( 7.1) ]. 
  * The use of benzodiazepines, including flurazepam hydrochloride capsules, exposes users to risks of abuse, misuse, and addiction, which can lead to overdose or death. Abuse and misuse of benzodiazepines commonly involve concomitant use of other medications, alcohol, and/or illicit substances, which is associated with an increased frequency of serious adverse outcomes. Before prescribing flurazepam hydrochloride capsules, and throughout treatment, assess each patient’s risk for abuse, misuse, and addiction [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2) ]. 
  * The continued use of benzodiazepines, including flurazepam hydrochloride capsules, may lead to clinically significant physical dependence. The risks of dependence and withdrawal increase with longer treatment duration and higher daily dose. Abrupt discontinuation or rapid dosage reduction of flurazepam hydrochloride capsules after continued use may precipitate acute withdrawal reactions, which can be life-threatening. To reduce the risk of withdrawal reactions, use a gradual taper to discontinue flurazepam hydrochloride capsules or reduce the dosage [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3) ].
BACKGROUND: Anomalous activation of NF-κB signaling is associated with many inflammatory disorders, such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and acute lung injury (ALI). NF-κB activation requires the ubiquitination of receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) and NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO). Therefore, inhibition of ubiquitation of RIP1 and NEMO may serve as a potential approach for inhibiting NF-κB activation and alleviating inflammatory disorders.
PURPOSE: Here, we identified arteannuin B (ATB), a sesquiterpene lactone found in the traditional Chinese medicine Artemisia annua that is used to treat malaria and inflammatory diseases, as a potent anti-inflammatory compound, and then characterized the putative mechanisms of its anti-inflammatory action.
METHODS: Detections of inflammatory mediators and cytokines in LPS- or TNF-α-stimulated murine macrophages using RT-qPCR, ELISA, and western blotting, respectively. Western blotting, CETSA, DARTS, MST, gene knockdown, LC-MS/MS, and molecular docking were used to determine the potential target and molecular mechanism of ATB. The pharmacological effects of ATB were further evaluated in DSS-induced colitis and LPS-induced ALI in vivo.
RESULTS: ATB effectively diminished the generation of NO and PGE2 by down-regulating iNOS and COX2 expression, and decreased the mRNA expression and release of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in LPS-exposed RAW264.7 macrophages. The anti-inflammatory effect of ATB was further demonstrated in LPS-treated BMDMs and TNF-α-activated RAW264.7 cells. We further found that ATB obviously inhibited NF-κB activation induced by LPS or TNF-α in vitro. Moreover, compared with ATB, dihydroarteannuin B (DATB) which lost the unsaturated double bond, completely failed to repress LPS-induced NO release and NF-κB activation in vitro. Furthermore, UBE2D3, a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, was identified as the functional target of ATB, but not DATB. UBE2D3 knockdown significantly abolished ATB-mediated inhibition on LPS-induced NO production. Mechanistically, ATB could covalently bind to the catalytic cysteine 85 of UBE2D3, thereby inhibiting the function of UBE2D3 and preventing ubiquitination of RIP1 and NEMO. In vivo, ATB treatment exhibited robust protective effects against DSS-induced UC and LPS-induced ALI.
CONCLUSION: Our findings first demonstrated that ATB exerted anti-inflammatory functions by repression of NF-κB pathway via covalently binding to UBE2D3, and raised the possibility that ATB could be effective in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and other diseases associated with abnormal NF-κB activation.
Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin which possesses antioxidant properties. Its catalytically active form, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), is a crucial cofactor for DNA and amino acid metabolism. The inverse correlation between vitamin B6 and cancer risk has been observed in several studies, although dietary vitamin B6 intake sometimes failed to confirm this association. However, the molecular link between vitamin B6 and cancer remains elusive. Previous work has shown that vitamin B6 deficiency causes chromosome aberrations (CABs) in Drosophila and human cells, suggesting that genome instability may correlate the lack of this vitamin to cancer. Here we provide evidence in support of this hypothesis. Firstly, we show that PLP deficiency, induced by the PLP antagonists 4-deoxypyridoxine (4DP) or ginkgotoxin (GT), promoted tumorigenesis in eye larval discs transforming benign RasV12 tumors into aggressive forms. In contrast, PLP supplementation reduced the development of tumors. We also show that low PLP levels, induced by 4DP or by silencing the sgllPNPO gene involved in PLP biosynthesis, worsened the tumor phenotype in another Drosophila cancer model generated by concomitantly activating RasV12 and downregulating Discs-large (Dlg) gene. Moreover, we found that RasV12 eye discs from larvae reared on 4DP displayed CABs, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and low catalytic activity of serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), a PLP-dependent enzyme involved in thymidylate (dTMP) biosynthesis, in turn required for DNA replication and repair. Feeding RasV12 4DP-fed larvae with PLP or ascorbic acid (AA) plus dTMP, rescued both CABs and tumors. The same effect was produced by overexpressing catalase in RasV12 DlgRNAi 4DP-fed larvae, thus allowing to establish a relationship between PLP deficiency, CABs, and cancer. Overall, our data provide the first in vivo demonstration that PLP deficiency can impact on cancer by increasing genome instability, which is in turn mediated by ROS and reduced dTMP levels.

The recruited HV women fulfil the inclusion without the exclusion criteria for the study will undergo a clinical investigation and blood sampling. The participants will be asked to avoid use of other cheese, but eat as usually. One week later, the first clinical investigation will take place including blood sampling. The HV women verified to fulfil the criteria for participation and signed the informed consent form will be included in the study. The trial treatment consisting of a given gr/day Jarlsberg cheese will start the day after this investigation, denoted as Day 0, and the participants receiving a study identification numbers. They will be instructed not to change eating habit except replace use of other chees with Jarlsberg.

The cheese can be consumed with other food at breakfast and/or lunch. The dose of Jarlsberg cheese per day is fixed per participant and varies from 20 gram per day to 180 gram per day with a mid-dose of 100gr/day. The three patients included at the first design level will all receive this mid-dose of 100gr/day. Clinical investigation and blood sampling after start of the treatment, will be performed after 3, 4, and 5 weeks and the ratio \[Carboxylated / Under Carboxylated\] Osteocalcin will be calculated. This increased Osteocalcin Ratio (OR) based on the results obtained by the blood sampling at week 3 will be classified in five groups and used for determination of the Jarlsberg cheese dose for the five HV women at design level 2. The classifications of increased OR used are: increased OR \< 0.5 classifies as Low; 0.5 ≤ increased OR ≤ 0.9 classifies as Moderate Low; 0.9 \< increased OR \< 1.1 classifies as Suitable; 1.1≤increased OR≤1.5 classifies as Moderate High; increased OR \> 1.5 classifies as High. In case the increased OR is found Low or Moderate Low, the daily dose of Jarlsberg cheese will be reduced for the participants at the second design level. If increased OR classifies as Suitable the same dose as at design level 1 will be recommended applied at the second level and if increased OR classifies as moderate High or High, the Jarlsberg cheese-dose will be increased.

The same procedure based on the results obtained from the five participants at the second design level will be used to determine the daily Jarlsberg-dose for the seven HV women at design level 3. With randomization of the recommended cheese-doses at one design level to be used in the next, the between-patient Response-Surface-Pathway (RSP) design-arm is applied.

The within-patient RSP design-arm is applied and related to the duration of the cheese intake. All the participants will consume Jarlsberg cheese during minimum three weeks. Participants obtaining an increased OR ≥ 1 can stop the study. If not, they have to continue until this limit is reached or until maximum five weeks.
Hypothesis: If after 4 courses of Decitabine none out of 12 patients achieves a response (complete or partial remission, antileukemic effect), the protocol will be stopped. If at least one response is seen among the first 12 patients, 17 additional patients will be treated in an open, uncontrolled manner. If in 3 or more of these 29 patients a response is achieved, this treatment will be considered effective and will be studied further, otherwise it will be considered ineffective. At a preliminary analysis after recruitment of 29 patients, encouraging results (response rate, tolerability) are prompting continuation of recruitment, with a planned inclusion of at least 60 patients, until initiation of the planned large, controlled phase II follow-up trial. Unexpected toxicities will be carefully evaluated. 29 patients were needed for the first two steps of this phase II study, at least 60 patients are planned for the extension of the recruitment. Expected study duration for the first two steps was 15-20 months, with 35-40 months total when including the third step.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response and disease-free survival at 1 year of patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome treated with gemtuzumab ozogamicin, fludarabine, and total body irradiation followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplantation with cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil. II. Determine the leukemic blast clearance from the blood and marrow in these patients treated with this regimen. III. Determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of gemtuzumab ozogamicin as part of this regimen in these patients. IV. Determine the incidence of donor stem cell engraftment in these patients. V. Determine the incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease in these patients treated with this regimen. VI. Determine whether donor lymphocyte infusion can be safely used in the patients with mixed or full donor chimerism to eliminate persistent or progressive disease.

OUTLINE: Patients receive gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV over 2 hours on days -21 (first 5 patients) or -14 (subsequent patients) and -7, and fludarabine IV over 2 hours on days -4 to -2. Patients undergo total body irradiation followed by infusion of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells or bone marrow on day 0. Patients receive oral or IV cyclosporine 2-3 times daily on days -3 to 56 (if related donor) or 100 (if unrelated donor) and oral or IV mycophenolate mofetil twice daily on days 0 to 27 (if related donor) or 40 (if unrelated donor). Patients receive 2 doses of intrathecal methotrexate prior to transplant and an additional 4 doses after transplant. Patients with cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) positive for malignant cells instead receive intrathecal cytarabine, methotrexate and hydrocortisone prior to transplant twice weekly until CSF blasts clear. Patients with persistent or recurrent disease after transplant may receive up to 3 donor lymphocyte infusions if graft-versus-host disease is less than grade II and they have greater than 5% donor CD3 cells. Patients are followed at 6 months and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-2 years.
OBJECTIVE: To assess long-term clinical outcomes and factors associated with target vessel revascularisation in patients with deferred revascularisation based on negative fractional flow reserve and negative instantaneous wave-free ratio.
METHODS: The longitudinal, retrospective study was conducted from July 1, 2020, to January 1, 2022, at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised medical records from January 2012 to January 2020 of patients with deferred revascularisation having intermediate to severe coronary lesions on coronary angiogram and had negative fractional flow reserve >0.80 or instantaneous wave-free ratio >0.89 and had not undergone immediate or planned revascularisation on the basis of negative physiological assessment. Data was collected from the institutional records, while final follow-up was taken by reviewing the medical records or telephonic interviews regarding any major adverse cardiac event after the index procedure. Data was analysed using Stata 14.2.
RESULTS: Of the 345 patients, 245(71%) were males. The overall mean age was 62±11 years. There were 194(56%) patients who presented with stable angina and 151(44%) presented with acute coronary syndrome. Mean fractional flow reserve was 0.87±0.04 and mean instantaneous wave-free ratio was 0.93±0.03. Multivessel disease was present in 223(65%) patients. Median follow-up period was 29 months (IQR: 24-36 months). Major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 22(6%) patients, and target vessel revascularisation was required in 11(3%). Diabetes and percentage of stenosis were found to be independent predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events (p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Deferral of revascularisation and opting for medical treatment for coronary artery stenosis with higher fractional flow reserve or instantaneous wave-free ratio could be considered a safe and reasonable strategy.
Methods are provided for the treatment of allergic and other immune disorders associated with overproduction of Th2 type cytokines by antigen specific T  cells. Immunotherapy with adjuvants, as provided in the present invention, greatly inhibits the developments of airway hyperreactivity and airway inflammation. Such immunotherapy is shown to reverse ongoing airway disease, and convert allergic inflammatory responses into protective immune responses.  Conditions of particular interest include allergic conditions associated with production of Th2 cytokines and/or IgE antibodies, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and anaphylactic reactions. The addition of adjuvant induces a Th1-type immune response and can redirect an established Th2-type response to a Th1-type response for the selected antigen. Preferably, antigen-specific IgE production is reduced without altering the intensity of the antigen-specific pr oliferative response. One particularly preferred adjuvant for use in accordance with the present invention is a Listeria adjuvant.
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALL) are aggressive hematological malignancies associated with poor clinical outcome. TP53 alterations ( TP53 Alt ) were rarely identified in T- ALL at diagnosis and their prognostic impact remains unclear. In a cohort of 476 adults and pediatric T-ALL, TP53 Alt were observed in 4% of cases and were associated with chemoresistance and poor prognosis. APR-246, a small compound which restores wild-type configuration to mutated p53, showed efficacy in T-ALL harboring TP53 mutations. More importantly, in TP53 germline T-ALL, Notch 1 pathway gain of function mutations were associated with substantial sensitivity to APR-246. Mechanistically, Notch 1 activation via p53 downregulation and subsequent ferroptosis induction led to preferential APR-246 sensitivity. Given that Notch 1 pathway oncogenic activation is present in more than 70% of T-ALLs, these observations pave the way for promising perspectives in T-ALL treatment which could benefit from the Achilles heel associated with Notch 1 activation sensitizing leukemia cells to APR- 246-induced ferroptosis, thus extending the use of APR-246 in T-ALL beyond TP53 alterations.
Eradication of low tumor burdens can occur in vivo when T-cell mediated responses are generated against specific tumor antigens. The Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (AR) display several features which make them candidate diseases for trials of such immunotherapy. First, intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy is generally able to eradicate bulk disease in patients with metastatic disease, but tumor relapse eventually occurs in nearly all patients. Second, tumor-specific chromosomal translocations resulting in the production of novel fusion proteins have been identified in the great majority of these tumors. Peptides derived from these fusion proteins have been shown to function as tumor antigens for cytolytic T cells in animal studies. Third, studies of immune reconstitution after intensive cytotoxic therapy have provided evidence that antigen-specific T cells can be generated in vivo when the adoptive transfer of peripheral T cells and antigen are provided during the period of T cell regeneration. This process can be augmented in murine models by the use of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) active protease inhibitor, indinavir, potentially through inhibition of programmed cell death in expanding T cells. Merging these concepts, this protocol will attempt to eradicate minimal residual disease in pediatric patients with metastatic ESFT and AR via vaccination with tumor-specific peptides undertaken concomitant with autologous T cell transplantation and indinavir.
