This is a continuous study of preliminary trial (Immunogenicity of three sequential schedules with Sabin inactivated poliovirus vaccine and bivalent oral poliovirus vaccine in Zhejiang, China: NCT03147560) . The investigators will follow up previous participants at age 4 years old with different primary sequential immunization schedules at age 2, 3 and 4 months: sIPV-bOPV-bOPV , sIPV-sIPV-bOPV , or sIPV-sIPV-sIPV, and give the 4th doses of polio vaccine with Sabin IPV or bOPV. A pre-vaccination blood sample is taken for polio antibody determinations. Sabin IPV will be administrated for participants in the previous Group 1 (sIPV-bOPV-bOPV), and Sabin IPV or bOPV will be given for participants in the previous Group 2 (sIPV-sIPV-bOPV) and Group 3 (sIPV-sIPV-sIPV) after they were randomly divided into two subgroups. At least two active surveillance visits, during which staff visited the participants s at home (on days 3 and 30) will required after vaccination to collect adverse reaction data. Parents or legal guardians were instructed to contact investigators if they observed any possible vaccine-related adverse events or important medical events (such as serious illness, physical disability, or death). The second blood sample will be collected 28-60 days after the booster vaccination. The investigators will asess the immunogenicity by seroconversion rate and seropositivity after the booster vaccination, and evaluate the antibody persistence using seropositive rate and GMT in participants before the booster vaccination. Safety will assessed with the occurrence of adverse events reported across the study groups.
Background: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a nuclear hormone receptor widely expressed in the substantia nigra. Its association with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) is based on vitamin D deficiency and/or different polymorphisms in its gene receptor. This fact has been demonstrated by several case-control studies. Materials and Methods: Consequently, we investigated the association between VDR ApaI, BsmI, FokI, and TaqI gene polymorphisms and PD in a Spanish cohort that included 54 cases and 17 healthy controls. The detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was performed using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results: Our data indicate that the SNPs were not associated with the age of onset of PD, nor with the occurrence of motor symptoms. However, only BsmI polymorphism was significantly associated with PD in this Spanish cohort. In fact, BsmI genotype was five times higher among PD patients than among controls, and the A allele was considered as a genetic risk for PD. Additionally, the combination of FokI and BsmI polymorphisms was significantly associated with PD and could represent a risk factor. Conclusion: We conclude that ApaI, TaqI, and FokI polymorphisms were not associated with PD, but BsmI could be a risk factor for PD in this randomized population.
Background and Objectives: The efficacy and safety of a lower target dose of sacubitril/valsartan (angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor [ARNI]) for treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unknown. We performed a retrospective study to compare the efficacy of ARNI with that of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in patients with HFrEF and moderate-to-severe CKD. Methods: This retrospective study included 129 patients. An inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis was performed to compare the baseline characteristics and outcomes between the 2 groups. The incidence of death due to cardiovascular disease, rehospitalization due to heart failure after treatment, and improvement in cardiac function symptoms (New York Heart Association [NYHA]) were assessed after 12 months. Improvements of ejection fraction (EF), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) were compared. Results: Compared with the ACEI/ARB group, the ARNI group, with 90.77% (59/65) in the lower target dose group, showed a lower rate of death due to cardiovascular disease (6.6% vs 0.9% after IPTW) and a lower incidence of rehospitalization (46.5% vs 30.4% after IPTW). NYHA class, estimated glomerular filtration rate, EF, NT-ProBNP levels, LVEDD, and LVESD improved in the ARNI group. None of the patients withdrew from treatment because of adverse drug reactions. Conclusion: Our study showed that ARNI resulted in a greater improvement in heart failure than ACEIs/ARBs in patients with HFrEF and moderate-to-severe CKD.
Diagnosis of aortic dissection was based on history and physical examination, and confirmed by imaging, visualization at surgery, and/or postmortem examination. According to the Stanford classification system, type A aortic dissection was defined as any dissection that involves the ascending aorta and type B as any that does not. Acute stage was confined to initial 14 days after symptom onset. Simple aortic aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm were excluded. Surgical and endovascular treatments were the main interventions and performed in the case group.
PURPOSE: Research investigating depressive symptoms among cancer patients rarely distinguish between core symptoms of depression (motivational and consummatory anhedonia, and negative affect). This distinction is important as these symptoms may show different trajectories during the course of the illness and require different treatment approaches. The aim of the present study is to investigate fluctuations in core depressive symptoms in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). It is hypothesized that these core depressive symptoms fluctuate differently during the course of the illness and depend on the phase of the illness (diagnostic, treatment, recovery and palliative phase).
METHOD: This study is based on data from the PROCORE study. PROCORE is a prospective, population-based study aimed to examine the longitudinal impact of CRC and its treatment on patient-reported outcomes. Eligible patients completed self-report questionnaires (i.e. Multifactorial Fatigue Index, Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, EORTC-C30) after diagnosis, after surgery and at one and two years after diagnosis.
RESULTS: In total, 539 patients participated of whom 68 have died until March 1ste 2021. Core depressive symptoms fluctuated differently during the course of the illness with higher levels of motivational anhedonia during treatment and palliative phase (P<.001), consummatory anhedonia at the palliative phase (p < .001) and negative affect at the diagnostic and palliative phase (P<.001).
CONCLUSION: It is important to distinguish between different core depressive symptoms as they fluctuate differently during the course of an illness like CRC. The various depressive symptoms may require a different treatment approach at specific moments during the illness process.
This study was an open clinical trial conducted in Mexican women diagnosed with postmenopausal osteoporosis and hyperparathyroidism associated or not with hypovitaminosis D from the climacteric clinic of the regional hospital "1o de Octubre" of the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (ISSSTE).

An integral clinical evaluation with PTH and vitamin D measurement was first done to determine the frequency of primary hyperparathyroidism and hypovitaminosis D. Likewise, a thyroid ultrasound was done. Then, 8000 IU of vitamin D were orally administrated for four weeks. Statical analysis was performed using PAST 3.0 and GraphPad Prism 8.4.3. software. The arithmetic median (µ) and standard deviation (S.D.) were calculated using Excel-Word. Graphics were constructed with GraphPad Prism 8.4.3 and tables with Excel-Word. Categorical variables were analysed with chi-squared or Fisher exact test depending on the number of participants in each cell. Normality was determined using the Shapiro-Wilk test. To compare two paired samples, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was utilized. To perform correlations, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used. The assigned α value for this study was \<0.05. In all cases, if a Montecarlo permutation was available, the exact p-value was taken instead of the raw p-value.

CONSTITUTION:This osteogenesis promoter is an extract of an animal bone and contains Mg, Si, S, Ca and Na as the essential components. For producing the osteogenesis promoter, an animal skin or an animal bone subjected to acid immersion treatment is immersed in lime, neutralized, extracted by heating, concentrated and dried. The resultant gelatin is extracted by heating. By blending the obtained product with powdery hydroxyapatite, a curable neutral osteogenetic material is obtained. An osteogenesis promoting sheet can be formed by blending the product with a chitosan sol.
Oestrogen is known to be strongly associated with ovarian cancer. There was much work to show the importance of lncRNA SNHG17 in ovarian cancer. However, no study has revealed the molecular regulatory mechanism and functional effects between oestrogen and SNHG17 in the development and metastasis of ovarian cancer. In this study, we found that SNHG17 expression was significantly increased in ovarian cancer and positively correlated with oestrogen treatment. Oestrogen could promote M2 macrophage polarization as well as ovarian cancer cells SKOV3 and ES2 cell exosomal SNHG17 expression. When exposure to oestrogen, exosomal SNHG17 promoted ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro, and tumour growth and lung metastasis in vivo by accelerating M2-like phenotype of macrophages. Mechanically, exosomal SNHG17 could facilitate the release of CCL13 from M2 macrophage via the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway. Moreover, CCL13-CCR2 axis was identified to be involved in ovarian cancer tumour behaviours driven by oestrogen. There results demonstrate a novel mechanism that exosomal SNHG17 exerts an oncogenic effect on ovarian cancer via the CCL13-CCR2-M2 macrophage axis upon oestrogen treatment, of which SNHG17 may be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for ovarian cancer responded to oestrogen.
The invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation, and in particular relates to a lactation-promoting medicine containing mongolian snakegourd root and pangolin. The medicine is prepared from the following bulk drugs in parts by weight: 240-360 parts of roasted astragalus membranaceus, 240-360 parts of Chinese angelica, 240-360 parts of fried atractylodes macrocephala koidz, 240-360 parts of mongolian snakegourd root, 240-360 parts of uniflower swisscentaury root, 240-360 parts of vinegar-processed pangolin, 240-360 parts of liquidambar formosana hance, 240-360 parts of fried cowherb seed, 80-120 parts of tetrapanax papyriferus, and 160-240 parts of loofah sponge. The medicine mainly has the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing blood, and activating collaterals and promoting lactation. The medicine, taking granules for instance, is taken 1 bag with 10g each time and 3 times a day, and is dissolved with boiled water, and 5 days are taken as a course of treatment. The medicine is used for assistant treatment of agalactosis caused by qi-blood deficiency. Clinical observation on 150 patients indicates that the effective rate to hypogalactia patients is 98.24 percent, the effective rate to agalactia patients is 91.66 percent, and the total effective rate is 96.67 percent. The medicine can increase Hb (haemoglobin) and RBC (red blood cell) in blood, has the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing blood and dredging collaterals for promoting lactation, and does not have injury to liver and kidney.
Chest pain is a frequent reason for consultation in emergency departments. Among cardiological causes, quickly diagnosing NSTEMI optimize patient treatment. To do this, the European Society of Cardiology, proposed in 2015 an one hour rule-in rule out troponin dosage based protocol. These recommendations should allow a faster diagnosis of NSTEMI but also a rule-out of patients with a low to moderate clinical probability of coronary heart disease. It could also improve efficiency in emergency departements decreasing the length of stay for patient consulting for acute chest pain allowing use of medical and para medical time for other patients. But the studies on which thoserecommendations are based show up to 3% of false negative, which could lead to a higher mortality rate for those patients even if this issue hasn't been address yet. Furthermore, the tight schedule in which a blood sample need to be withdraw, analyzed and taken knowledge of by the doctor could be an obstacle to the feasibility of such protocol in emergency departments usually overwhelmed with patients. The aim of this monocentric prospective study is to assess how a pre-troponin clinical probability of NSTEMI allowing risk stratification could decrease the false negative rate of this protocol insuring safetiness in its use. The secondary objective is to assess the feasibility of such protocol in an emergency department with high patient flow.
This was a single-site, double-blind, placebo-controlled (PLAC), randomized, parallel group (2 groups), 8-week, quetiapine extended release (XR) coadministration trial. SSRI resistance was determined either historically or prospectively. Patients were randomized if they remained moderately ill (CGI-S score ≥ 4). Change in the PDSS scale total score was the primary efficacy outcome measure. Responders were identified as those with a ≥50 % decrease from their baseline PDSS score. In the early weeks of therapy, XR was flexibly and gradually titrated from 50 to 400 mg/day.

Conclusions: This proof-of-concept RCT did not support the efficacy of this treatment strategy for SSRI-resistant PD. Quetiapine XR was generally well-tolerated. Important limitations were the small sample size, and the relatively low average dose of quetiapine XR used.
Pediatric obesity and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) represent two common chronic diseases associated with chronic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and long-term complications. The aim of the present study was to assess the possible diagnostic and prognostic value of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), a marker of inflammation and impaired endothelial function, in children with the diseases. In this cross-sectional study, children and adolescents with T1DM (N = 41) or obesity (N = 37), aged < 18 years old, and without proteinuria were included, together with children of similar age and without evident morbidity that served as controls (N = 42). Serum samples were obtained during standard outpatient follow up and the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) concentrations were measured using a commercially available sandwich ELISA kit (DUP00, R&D systems). Clinical and biochemical indices that were also assessed include body mass index (BMI) z-score, Tanner stages, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting lipid profile and serum creatinine. Mean serum suPAR levels were significantly higher in patients with obesity compared to patients with T1DM and controls, while children with T1DM had similar suPAR levels to controls. Also, serum suPAR levels showed a negative correlation with age (Spearman rho -0.359, p < 0.001) and serum creatinine levels (Spearman rho -0.334, p = 0.005), and a positive correlation with BMI z-score (Spearman rho 0.354, p = 0.009) in the whole cohort.  Conclusion: Serum suPAR may be a useful predictive marker of inflammation or endothelial dysfunction for children with obesity and T1DM, as well as a promising therapeutic target. Further studies are needed in order to clarify whether the reported differences in suPAR levels could reflect a greater impairment of the inflammation status and endothelial function in children with obesity compared to children with T1DM. What is Known: • Paediatric obesity and type 1 diabetes are characterised by chronic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. • Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) has been proposed as a useful biomarker for chronic inflammation and cardiovascular risk in adults. What is New: • Serum suPAR levels were increased in children and adolescents with obesity compared to those with T1DM and healthy controls; thus, obesity may affect the inflammatory status and endothelial function to a higher degree than T1DM during childhood. • Serum suPAR may serve as a diagnostic and predictive marker of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction for children and adolescents with obesity and T1DM.

BACKGROUND: Pelvic fragility fractures in elderly individuals present significant challenges in orthopedic and geriatric medicine due to reduced bone density and increased frailty associated with aging.
METHODS: This study involved 150 elderly patients with pelvic fragility fractures. The patients were divided into two groups, the observation group (Observation) and the control group (Control), using a random number table. Artificial intelligence, specifically the Tianji Orthopedic Robot, was employed for surgical assistance. The observation group received bone cement reinforcement along with screw fixation using the robotic system, while the control group received conventional screw fixation alone. Follow-up data were collected for one-year post-treatment.
RESULTS: The observation group exhibited significantly lower clinical healing time of fractures and reduced bed rest time compared to the control group. Additionally, the observation group experienced less postoperative pain at 1 and 3 months, indicating the benefits of bone cement reinforcement. Moreover, patients in the observation group demonstrated significantly better functional recovery at 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-surgery compared to the control group.
CONCLUSION: The combination of bone cement reinforcement and robotic technology resulted in accelerated fracture healing, reduced bed rest time, and improved postoperative pain relief and functional recovery.
BACKGROUND: This study aims to analyze the pathogenic gene in a Chinese family with non-syndromic hearing loss and identify a novel mutation site in the TNC gene.
METHODS: A five-generation Chinese family from Anhui Province, presenting with autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss, was recruited for this study. By analyzing the family history, conducting clinical examinations, and performing genetic analysis, we have thoroughly investigated potential pathogenic factors in this family. The peripheral blood samples were obtained from 20 family members, and the pathogenic genes were identified through whole exome sequencing. Subsequently, the mutation of gene locus was confirmed using Sanger sequencing. The conservation of TNC mutation sites was assessed using Clustal Omega software. We utilized functional prediction software including dbscSNV_AdaBoost, dbscSNV_RandomForest, NNSplice, NetGene2, and Mutation Taster to accurately predict the pathogenicity of these mutations. Furthermore, exon deletions were validated through RT-PCR analysis.
RESULTS: The family exhibited autosomal dominant, progressive, post-lingual, non-syndromic hearing loss. A novel synonymous variant (c.5247A > T, p.Gly1749Gly) in TNC was identified in affected members. This variant is situated at the exon-intron junction boundary towards the end of exon 18. Notably, glycine residue at position 1749 is highly conserved across various species. Bioinformatics analysis indicates that this synonymous mutation leads to the disruption of the 5' end donor splicing site in the 18th intron of the TNC gene. Meanwhile, verification experiments have demonstrated that this synonymous mutation disrupts the splicing process of exon 18, leading to complete exon 18 skipping and direct splicing between exons 17 and 19.
CONCLUSION: This novel splice-altering variant (c.5247A > T, p.Gly1749Gly) in exon 18 of the TNC gene disrupts normal gene splicing and causes hearing loss among HBD families.
