Human antibodies, preferably recombinant human antibodies, that specifically bind to human tumor necrosis factor alpha (hTNF alpha ) are disclosed. These antibodies have high affinity for hTNF alpha (e.g., Kd = 10-8 M or less), a slow off rate for hTNF alpha dissociation (e.g., Koff = 10<-3>sec<-1> or less) and neutralize hTNF alpha activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hTNF alpha and for inhibiting hTNF alpha activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hTNF alpha activity is detrimental. Nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expressing the recombinant human antibodies of the invention, and methods of synthesizing the recombinant human antibodies, are also encompassed by the invention. Particular diseases include malaria, meningitis, cachexia, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), bacterial meningitis AIDS-related complex, cytomegalovirus infection secondary to transplantation, fever and myalgias due to infection (such as influenza), cachexia secondary to infection (e.g., secondary to AIDS or ARC), adult respiratory distress syndrome, shock lung, chronic pulmonary inflammatory disease, pulmonary sarcoidosis, pulmonary fibrosis, silicosis, inflammatory bowel disorders, idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease, (which includes two syndromes, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), ischemia of the heart, heart insufficiency, septic shock, endotoxic shock, gram negative sepsis and toxic shock syndrome.
Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and ranks fourth in mortality. Radical surgery is the main treatment for resectable gastric cancer. For patients with progressive gastric cancer, especially those with stage IIIB and IIIC, their 5-year overall survival (OS) rate after radical surgery is still difficult to exceed 50%. Although D2 radical surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with progressive gastric cancer, the recurrence rate is still as high as 50%\~80%. Several therapeutic approaches have been established to reduce the risk of recurrence and improve long-term survival, including perioperative chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The effect of adding targeted therapies and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapies is currently being studied. While multiple programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors have been approved for first/third line treatment of unresectable/metastatic gastric cancer. However, the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in resectable gastric cancer remains unclear and is being investigated in various clinical trials.

We conducted this study with 8 cycles of perioperative treatment with adebrelimab in combination with XELOX chemotherapy regimen and adebelizumab maintenance therapy up to 1 year. To observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab combination chemotherapy regimen in the perioperative treatment of surgically resectable gastric cancer/adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction.

This invention relates to bifunctional detection agents useful for providing high-resolution, in vivo imaging of biochemical activity in a living organism. Methods of using these bifunctional detection agents may comprise administering them into a living organism, and then estimating the localization of the detection agent using one modality (i.e., MRI), while concurrently estimating the level of biological activity using a second modality (i.e., optical imaging). One of the bifunctional detection agents comprises a magnetic resonance component and an optical imaging component. The magnetic resonance component comprises a contrast agent that is always activated or 'on'. The optical imaging component comprises an activatable contrast agent or dye that is activated or turned 'on' only in the presence of a particular event. For example, the optical imaging component may be activated by a certain wavelength of light and (1) by the presence of a particular biochemical marker, (2) by enzyme cleavage, or (3) by a change in the temperature or pH of the surrounding medium. These bifunctional detection agents allow both anatomical and functional/metabolic information to be obtained simultaneously.
PURPOSE:To automatize manual work to perform the extraction and analysis of the characteristic of the stereo structure of a molecule by automatically extracting the characteristic data of the stereo structure of the molecule by using a graphic terminal, and enabling correlation analysis to be performed by adding pharmacological activating data. CONSTITUTION:The simplified extraction system of structural characteristic can be automatically calculated by picking only the target structure(the volume and surface area of an atomic group) to extract the structural characteristic of the molecule being displayed on the graphic terminal and designating an extraction characteristic ID, and a result is displayed on the graphic terminal. The data of extraction result can be file-outputted at every molecule. In such a case, a molecule name and each characteristic ID can be attached as items in table data format. Since different structural characteristic that can be extracted at every molecule can be obtained, the extraction characteristic IDs of all the molecules are set as the items, and a dummy value is attached on an unextracted part. Thereby, it is possible to easily perform analysis such as multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis, etc.
Dysmenorrhea is pain that occurs during menstruation due to cramps in the uterus. It is one of the most common causes of pelvic pain, especially experienced by young women. primary dysmenorrhea is distinguished from secondary dysmenorrhea by the occurrence of pain in women with normal pelvic anatomy without any pathology or physiological etiology. In the management of primary dysmenorrhea, non-pharmacological treatment methods such as lifestyle changes, sleep and nutrition changes, exercise, and physiotherapy applications are used in addition to pharmacological treatments. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of patient education on the pelvic floor knowledge levels and dysmenorrhea symptoms in young women with primary dysmenorrhea. In this study, participants were divided into two groups: the education group and the control group. The evaluations were made before the education and after the first menstrual cycle. The "Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 23.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA) program will be used in the analysis of the study data. The change in numerical variables over time in the treatment and control groups and the group-time interaction will be examined with "two-way repeated measures variance analysis". The "Chi-Square Test" will be used to examine the relationship between categorical variables. The relationship between numerical variables will be examined with the "Spearman rho correlation coefficient". The probability of error will be accepted as (p\<0.05).
Low back pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal complaint. In most LBPs, it is benign and disappears within six weeks, but approximately 20% of individuals with LBP do not show any improvement in their condition, which may progress to chronic low back pain. LBP not only interferes with biomechanical change, but also causes ability to work leading to reduced productivity, economic burden to individuals and society for medical costs Recent studies indicate that patients with chronic low back pain present diminished postural control, manifesting problems in balance. Postural balance is controlled by sensory information, central processing and neuromuscular responses. Alterations in proprioception are the possible causes of alteration of postural balance in individuals with low back pain.

For clinical studies using core stabilization exercise (CSE) as treatment have revealed conflicting findings on pain, functional disability and muscle responses in chronic LBP. The few studies that investigated CSE as an isolated factor. Kumar (2011) reported an improvement of CSE on joint mobility and pain pressure threshold in patients with clinical lumbar instability; however, it was an immediate effect of CSE and blinding process was not performed. However, an effectiveness of CSE on pain intensity, functional disability, and trunk muscle activation pattern were improved in clinical lumbar instability (CLI). In addition, after 10-week CSE provides greater training and retention effects on pain-related outcomes and induced activation of deep abdominal muscles in CLI compared with conventional treatment (stretching exercise and hot pack). However, previous studies did not report indirect effect may occur in CLI as postural balance and other kinds of exercise as strengthening in CLI. The general trunk strengthening exercise is common used in physical therapy clinic on LBP, that improve pain, physical disability, and trunk muscles activity. To our knowledge, the usefulness of CSE technique as abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) has not yet been investigated in CLI patients with outcome measure of balance.
In ALTA 1L, photosensitivity occurred in 3.7% of patients who received ALUNBRIG, with 0.7% Grade 3 to 4.

In ALTA, 0.9% of patients who received ALUNBRIG in the 90 mg group experienced photosensitivity and 0.9% of patients in the 90 mg→180 mg group. Grade 3 to 4 photosensitivity was not reported in patients in the 90 mg group or in the 90→180 mg group.

Advise patients to limit sun exposure while taking brigatinib, and for at least 5 days after discontinuation of treatment. Advise patients, when outdoors to wear a hat and protective clothing, and use a broad-spectrum Ultraviolet A (UVA)/ Ultraviolet B (UVB) sunscreen and lip balm (SPF ≥30) to help protect against sunburn. Based on the severity withhold ALUNBRIG, then resume at the same dose, or reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue as described in Table 2 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3), Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
The objective of the study is to assess the continued safety and efficacy of SeQuent® SCB for the treatment of "real world" de-novo and restenotic lesions in native coronary arteries and coronary bypass grafts. Study goals are based on non-inferiority for Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) compared to Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon (PCB) and Dru-eluting Stents (DES) (historical data) with 80% power. Primary and secondary outcome variables are international accepted parameters in stent-trials, which sufficiently describe the efficacy and safety of the investigated device and allow clinical conclusions. Additional attention will be paid to those patients who received, by observation, a shortened dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT).

The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the SeQuent® SCB in the treatment of coronary artery disease with reference vessel diameters between ≥ 2 mm and ≤ 4 mm with suitable lesion lengths. There is no limitation of lesion lengths. In case the lesion is longer than 34 mm, more than one stent needs to be used.
Patients with primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) often experience severe and difficult-to-treat pruritus that negatively affects their quality of life (QoL). However, the mechanisms of pruritus in CTCL, including mycosis fungoides (MF), remain largely unknown, and detailed characteristics of CTCL-associated pruritus is not fully elucidated. To characterize pruritus in CTCL, cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (CBCL), and large plaque parapsoriasis (LPP), and to identify potential itch mediators involved in the pathogenesis of pruritus in CTCL patients. Clinical data and blood samples were collected from 129 healthy subjects and 142 patients. Itch intensity, QoL impairment, psychological distress, and sleep quality were assessed using validated questionnaires and instruments. Blood levels of BDNF, CCL24, GRP, IL-31, IL-33, sST2, substance P, TSLP, tryptase and total IgE were measured using ELISA or ImmunoCAP. Pruritus was prevalent in CTCL, LPP and CBCL patients, with higher prevalence and severity observed in CTCL. In CTCL, pruritus correlated with significant impairment in QoL, sleep, psychological distress. Compared to healthy controls, elevated levels of IL-31, IL-33, substance P, total IgE, tryptase, and TSLP were found in MF patients. A comparison of MF patients with and without pruritus revealed higher levels of IL-31, substance P, GRP, and CCL24 in the former. Itch intensity positively correlated with IL-31, GRP, CCL24, and tryptase levels. Pruritus significantly burdens CTCL patients, necessitating appropriate therapeutic management. Our findings suggest that various non-histaminergic mediators such as tryptase and IL-31 could be explored as novel therapeutic targets for managing pruritus in MF patients.

BACKGROUND: Transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery is the first-line treatment for growth hormone-secreting adenomas.
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the results of the transsphenoidal endoscopic approach for acromegaly and to determine the predictive factors of remission.
METHODS: A single-centre retrospective review was performed in patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for acromegaly between January 2009 and January 2019. Demographic features, clinical presentation, histopathology records, complications and pre- and postoperative radiologic and endocrinological assessments were evaluated. The factors that influenced the remission rates were investigated.
RESULTS: A total of 73 patients underwent surgery via the transsphenoidal endoscopic approach. Cavernous sinus invasion was detected in 32 patients (43.8%); and macroadenoma, in 57 (78%). The pathology specimens of the 27 patients (36.9%) showed dual-staining adenomas with prolactin. A total of 51 patients (69.8%) attained biochemical remission 1 year after surgery. A second operation was performed in 10 patients (13.6%) with residual tumours without biochemical remission in the first year. Six (60%) of the patients attained remission at the last follow-up. Transient diabetes insipidus was observed in 18 patients (24.6%); and rhinorrhoea, which was resolved with conservative treatment, in 4 (5.4%). None of the patients developed panhypopituitarism. The presence of cavernous sinus invasion and preoperative IGF-1, immediate postoperative GH and third-month IGF-1 levels were predictive of remission.
CONCLUSION: Transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery is a safe and effective treatment for acromegaly. Reoperation should be considered in patients with residual tumours without remission.
Although it is known that BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) causes hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the clinical significance of BKPyV viremia has not been fully evaluated. We retrospectively analyzed the results of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) evaluations for detecting BKPyV in the whole blood samples of patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT during the period from January 2010 to June 2020 at a single institute, Tokyo Medical and Dental University. BKPyV was detected in the blood of 28 of the 107 evaluated patients, and the cumulative incidence of was 27.9% (95%CI: 20.2-37.9%). HC due to BKPyV developed in four of the 28 patients with BKPyV viremia (14.3%) and in two of the 79 patients without it (2.5%; P < 0.05). BKPyV viremia itself did not affect the patients' post-transplant estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), but BKPyV viremia with a high viral load was significantly associated with decreased eGFR values (P < 0.05). BKPyV viremia was also associated with significantly lower progression-free survival at 3 years (35.1% [95%CI: 17.8-53.1%] vs. 60.4% [95%CI: 48.4-70.5], P < 0.05). Our findings demonstrated that BKPyV viremia was associated with onset of HC, an early decline of renal function, and poorer survival after allogeneic HSCT. Further studies are needed to test these results and elucidate the mechanisms of renal dysfunction associated with BKPyV viremia.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study of the safety and immunogenicity of AVX601 vaccine at two dosage levels and two routes of administration in healthy volunteers conducted at a single research center. A total of 40 participants will be enrolled into two groups of 20 participants each. Within each group, participants will be randomized to receive the active vaccine by IM injection (N = 8) or SC injection (N = 8) or to receive a placebo by IM injection (N = 2) or SC injection (N = 2). Each participant will receive a total of six injections of vaccine or placebo, two at each visit at Weeks 0, 8 and 24, administered by a study nurse in an outpatient setting, and will be followed for 12 months after the first immunization. Safety data will include local and systemic reactogenicity after each dose of vaccine, collected in a systematic format using a subject memory aid and a standard grading scale, specific safety laboratory parameters and general AEs. Immunogenicity data will be obtained by collecting blood at defined time points before and after immunization and separating serum (for measurement of antibodies to CMV by ELISA and neutralization assays and to the vaccine vector by a VRP neutralization assay) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBC) (for measurement of cellular immune responses to CMV peptides).
