PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cosmetic capable of controlling the development of unfavorable action such as dryness by making the cosmetic include powder and a trehalose. SOLUTION: This cosmetic contains (A) powder, preferably powder composed of compound metal oxide (e.g. titanium dioxide or zinc oxide) and (B) trehalose and its related substance (e.g. sodium trehalose sulfate or trehalose acetate). Preferably the cosmetic comprises 1-60 wt.% of the component A and 0.01-10 wt.% of the component B. The cosmetic can contain an arbitrary component useful in an ordinary cosmetic such as a hydrocarbon, an ester, a triglyceride, a higher alcohol, a fatty acid, a polyhydric alcohol, a nonionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, a thickener, an antiseptic, an ultraviolet light absorber and an antioxidant besides the above- mentioned essential components.
The recognition of constipation as a possible non-Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic condition is challenging because functional constipation (unrelated to food allergies) is a common health problem with a reported worldwide prevalence rate of up to 32.2% in children. However, many studies in children report challenge proven cow's milk allergy and constipation as a primary symptom and have found that between 28% and 78% of children improve on a cow's milk elimination diet. Due to the paucity of data and a focus on IgE-mediated allergy, not all food allergy guidelines list constipation as a symptom of food allergy. Yet, it is included in all cow's milk allergy guidelines available in English language. The Exploring Non-IgE-Mediated Allergy (ENIGMA) Task Force (TF) of the European Academy for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) considers in this paper constipation in the context of failure of standard treatment and discuss the role of food allergens as culprit in constipation in children. This position paper used the Delphi approach in reaching consensus on both diagnosis and management, as currently published data are insufficient to support a systematic review.
Primary spontaneous pneumothorax usually occurs in young, lean young men. In most cases, the cause of pneumothorax is rupture of blebs at the apex of the lung. Traditionally, bullectomy with mechanical pleurodesis through thoracotomy is indicated in patients with recurrence or persisted air leakage. The possible causes of recurrent pneumothorax and prolonged air leakage are missed bleb surrounding the endoscopic suture line or suboptimal suturing or healing of the thoracoscopic suture. To prevent these complications, a novel method using coverage of the endoscopic suture line by a large absorbable vicryl mesh during thoracoscopic surgery was proved to be safe and feasible. Theoretically, the mesh can strengthen the suture line and induce local fibrosis surrounding the suture line, and reduce the rate of recurrent pneumothorax and prolonged air leakage. To prove this hypothesis, we will conduct a prospective randomized trial in National Taiwan University Hospital. We will enroll 10 patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax who will be assigned to PCL mesh pleurodesis after thoracoscopic bullectomy and pleural abrasion. The primary endpoint is to check the biocompatibility of PCL mesh. The secondary endpoint is to evaluate the safety after thoracoscopic bullectomy and pleural abrasion.
SAIA-SSP-HIV is an intervention that facilitates an organizational, SSP-level analysis of the delivery of HIV services by assigning a trained SAIA specialist to apply tools and techniques and engage staff to define barriers, identify solutions, and evaluate their success in cycles until achieving desired change regarding HIV service delivery. The scientific premise of this RCT is that SAIA will effectively boost and extend HIV service delivery cascades within SSPs assigned to the SAIA-SSP-HIV intervention condition (relative to IAU). SAIA specialists will meet with SSP staff biweekly for the first 3 months and then once monthly for the remaining 9 months during the 12-month intervention period.
Pregnant women with high viral load (HBV DNA\>2 × 10\^5 IU/mL ) are recommended to be given Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate(TDF) for mother-to-child blocking of Chronic hepatitis B(CHB) by guidelines. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a new targeted pro-drug of Tenofovir (TFV) and was approved for use in China in December 2018. Compared with TDF, the therapeutic dose of TAF is small. 25mg TAF can obtain the antiviral effect similar to 300mg TDF, thus reducing the concentration of TFV in the blood.

This is a prospective clinical study, aiming to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of TAF in HBV-infected pregnant women when used for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus. 50 HBeAg-positive and HBV DNA levels ≥ 2 × 10\^5 IU/mL pregnant women will be enrolled to receive Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) from week 28-32 of gestation until delivery. According to the mother's wishes, intensive blood samples will be collected to determine the concentration of TAF and TFV in plasma of pregnant women before and after taking TAF, calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. And the mother's milk is collected every day for 5 days for TAF concentration determination. The primary endpoint was the pharmacokinetic parameters of TAF and TFV, rate of mother-to-child transmission, the congenital malformation rate of infants. The secondary endpoint was the decrease of HBV DNA level at delivery, the clearance and seroconversion rate of HBeAg, postpartum ALT flare, concentration of TAF and TFV in milk,and other adverse events of mothers and infants.
The aim of this paper is to investigate dynamical functional disturbance in central executive network in minimal hepatic encephalopathy and determine its association with metabolic disorder and cognitive impairment. Data of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging were obtained from 27 cirrhotic patients without minimal hepatic encephalopathy, 20 minimal hepatic encephalopathy patients, and 24 healthy controls. Central executive network was identified utilizing seed-based correlation approach. Dynamic functional connectivity across central executive network was calculated using sliding-window approach. Functional states were estimated by K-means clustering. Right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex metabolite ratios (i.e. glutamate and glutamine complex/total creatine, myo-inositol / total creatine, and choline / total creatine) were determined. Neurocognitive performance was determined by psychometric hepatic encephalopathy scores. Minimal hepatic encephalopathy patients had decreased myo-inositol / total creatine and choline / total creatine and increased glutamate and glutamine complex / total creatine in right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (all P ≤ 0.020); decreased static functional connectivity between bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and between right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and lateral-inferior temporal cortex (P ≤ 0.001); increased frequency and mean dwell time in state-1 (P ≤ 0.001), which exhibited weakest functional connectivity. Central executive network dynamic functional indices were significantly correlated with right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex metabolic indices and psychometric hepatic encephalopathy scores. Right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex myo-inositol / total creatine and mean dwell time in state-1 yielded best potential for diagnosing minimal hepatic encephalopathy. Dynamic functional disturbance in central executive network may contribute to neurocognitive impairment and could be correlated with metabolic disorder.
Identifying factors that are causes of disease progression, especially in neurodegenerative diseases, is of considerable interest. Disease progression can be described as a trajectory of outcome over time-for example, a linear trajectory having both an intercept (severity at time zero) and a slope (rate of change). A technique for identifying causal relationships between one exposure and one outcome in observational data whilst avoiding bias due to confounding is two sample Mendelian Randomisation (2SMR). We consider a multivariate approach to 2SMR using a multilevel model for disease progression to estimate the causal effect an exposure has on the intercept and slope. We carry out a simulation study comparing a naïve univariate 2SMR approach to a multivariate 2SMR approach with one exposure that effects both the intercept and slope of an outcome that changes linearly with time since diagnosis. The simulation study results, across six different scenarios, for both approaches were similar with no evidence against a non-zero bias and appropriate coverage of the 95% confidence intervals (for intercept 93.4-96.2% and the slope 94.5-96.0%). The multivariate approach gives a better joint coverage of both the intercept and slope effects. We also apply our method to two Parkinson's cohorts to examine the effect body mass index has on disease progression. There was no strong evidence that BMI affects disease progression, however the confidence intervals for both intercept and slope were wide.
Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer. In addition to metabolic alterations in the tumor cells, multiple other metabolically active cell types in the tumor microenvironment (TME) contribute to the emergence of a tumor-specific metabolic milieu. Here, we defined the metabolic landscape of the TME during the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) by performing single-cell RNA sequencing on 26 human patient specimens, including normal tissue, precancerous lesions, early stage cancer, advanced-stage cancer, lymph node metastases, and recurrent tumors. The analysis revealed substantial heterogeneity at the transcriptional, developmental, metabolic, and functional levels in different cell types. SPP1+ macrophages were identified as a protumor and prometastatic macrophage subtype with high fructose and mannose metabolism, which was further substantiated by integrative analysis and validation experiments. An inhibitor of fructose metabolism reduced the proportion of SPP1+ macrophages, reshaped the immunosuppressive TME, and suppressed tumor growth. In conclusion, this work delineated the metabolic landscape of HNSCC at a single-cell resolution and identified fructose metabolism as a key metabolic feature of a protumor macrophage subpopulation. Significance: Fructose and mannose metabolism is a metabolic feature of a protumor and prometastasis macrophage subtype and can be targeted to reprogram macrophages and the microenvironment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Older people with disabilities who cannot leave their homes are at increased risk of depression or depressive symptoms. Short-term psychotherapy, without medications, has been found effective for treating this population of people. Problem-solving therapy (PST) is a brief, structured, cognitive-behavioral therapy that teaches people problem-solving and coping skills to deal with negative life events and daily problems. Previous research demonstrated that PST is an effective treatment for depression when delivered to older adults in their homes. The cost of service for these in-home visits, however, can be prohibitive for many older adults and social service providers. One way to extend treatment to more older adults is to deliver PST via teleconferencing (tele-PST). This study will test the feasibility and effectiveness of tele-PST in treating depression in homebound older adults.

This study will have two phases. Phase 1 will examine the feasibility of delivering treatment via teleconference. Participants in this phase will receive six weekly sessions of tele-PST and then complete a 2-week follow-up visit in which their depression, disability, and resourcefulness will be assessed. Logistical and procedural problems and acceptability of the treatment to participants will be used to guide modifications or adaptations made to tele-PST before conducting a larger, randomized trial in Phase 2.

Participation in Phase 2 will last 6 weeks, with follow-up visits lasting until 24 weeks after the conclusion of treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: tele-PST, in-person PST, and attention control. Participants in the tele-PST group will receive six weekly sessions of PST via teleconference, and participants in the in-person PST group will receive six weekly sessions of PST from a study therapist in person. Both these groups will also receive six monthly maintenance calls from their study therapist after the completion of treatment. Participants in the attention group will receive six weekly phone calls followed by six monthly phone calls to monitor their health. All participants in Phase 2 will complete assessments at 2, 12, and 24 weeks following their treatment. These assessments will measure the adequacy of recruitment, enrollment, and retention strategies; the compliance rates and service delivery costs of tele-PST and in-person PST; and participants' depression, disability, and resourcefulness.
Patients receive selinexor PO on days 1, 8, 15 and 22, irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes, fluorouracil IV continuously over 48 hours and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 6 cycles, patients can continue single agent selinexor until disease progression.
BACKGROUND: Dexmedetomidine has arousal sedation and analgesic effects. We hypothesize that epidural dexmedetomidine in single-dose combined with ropivacaine improves the experience of parturient undergoing cesarean section under epidural anesthesia. This study is to investigate the effect of 0.5 µg/kg epidural dexmedetomidine combined with epidural anesthesia (EA) in parturients undergoing cesarean section.
METHODS: A total of 92 parturients were randomly divided into Group R (receiveing epidural ropivacaine alone) Group RD (receiveing epidural ropivacaine with 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine). The primary outcome and second outcome will be intraoperative NRS pain scores and Ramsay Sedation Scale.
RESULTS: All 92 parturients were included in the analysis. The NRS were significantly lower in Group RD compared to Group R at all observation timepoint (P > 0.05). Higher Ramsay Sedation Scale was found in Group RD compared to Group R (P < 0.001). No parturient has experienced sedation score of 4 and above. No significant difference regarding the incidence of hypotension, bradycardia and nausea or vomiting, Apgar scores and the overall satisfaction with anesthesia was found between Group R and Group RD (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Epidural dexmedetomidine of 0.5 µg/kg added slightly extra analgesic effect to ropivacaine in EA for cesarean section. The sedation of 0.5 µg/kg epidural dexmedetomidine did not cause mother-baby bonding deficit. Satisfaction with anesthesia wasn't significantly improved by epidural dexmedetomidine of 0.5 µg/kg. No additional side effect allows larger dose of epidural dexmedetomidine attempt.

Nursing education and counseling practice to be applied to the experimental group was based on NSM. In the implementation of NPECP, the women were first met, and after the meeting, their informed consent was taken and they were included in the study. It was stated that the women in the experimental group were told that four scheduled interviews would be conducted online in a period of approximately 4 weeks. The women were given a telephone number where they could contact the researcher so that they could receive telephone/online counseling and were included in the whatsapp group with their permission.

If the fasting blood glucose not achieved the target at the maximum dose, maintain the maximum dose(6mg/d) until the completion of the test.Meanwhile,subjects will be instructed to take stable doses of metformin (1500mg/d) through the whole trial.
Obesity is an emerging public health problem. Chronic low-grade inflammation is considered a major promotor of obesity-induced secondary diseases such as cardiovascular and fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and several cancer entities. Most preliminary studies on obesity-induced immune responses have been conducted in male rodents. Sex-specific differences between men and women in obesity-induced immune dysregulation have not yet been fully outlined but are highly relevant to optimizing prevention strategies for overweight-associated complications. In this study, we fed C57BL/6 female vs. male mice with either standard chow or an obesity-inducing diet (OD). Blood and spleen immune cells were isolated and analyzed by flow cytometry. Lean control mice showed no sex bias in systemic and splenic immune cell composition, whereas the immune responses to obesity were significantly distinct between female and male mice. While immune cell alterations in male OD mice were characterized by a significant reduction in T cells and an increase in myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), female OD mice displayed preserved T cell numbers. The sex-dependent differences in obesity-induced T cell dysregulation were associated with varying susceptibility to body weight gain and fatty liver disease: Male mice showed significantly more hepatic inflammation and histopathological stigmata of fatty liver in comparison to female OD mice. Our findings indicate that sex impacts susceptibility to obesity-induced T cell dysregulation, which might explain sex-dependent different incidences in the development of obesity-associated secondary diseases. These results provide novel insights into the understanding of obesity-induced chronic inflammation from a sex-specific perspective. Given that most nutrition, exercise, and therapeutic recommendations for the prevention of obesity-associated comorbidities do not differentiate between men and women, the data of this study are clinically relevant and should be taken into consideration in future trials and treatment strategies.
Severe Neutropenia

Clozapine treatment has caused severe neutropenia, defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) less than 500/µL. Severe neutropenia can lead to serious infection and death. Prior to initiating treatment with VERSACLOZ a baseline ANC must be at least 1500/µL for the general population, and must be at least 1000/µL for patients with documented Benign Ethnic Neutropenia (BEN). During treatment, patients must have regular ANC monitoring. Advise patients to immediately report symptoms consistent with severe neutropenia or infection (e.g., fever, weakness, lethargy, or sore throat) [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Because of the risk of severe neutropenia, VERSACLOZ is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the Clozapine REMS Program [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].

Orthostatic Hypotension, Bradycardia, Syncope

Orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, syncope, and cardiac arrest have occurred with clozapine treatment. The risk is highest during the initial titration period, particularly with rapid dose escalation. These reactions can occur with the first dose, with doses as low as 12.5 mg per day. Initiate treatment at 12.5 mg once or twice daily; titrate slowly; and use divided dosages to minimize risk. Use VERSACLOZ cautiously in patients with cardiovascular/ or cerebrovascular disease or conditions predisposing to hypotension (e.g., dehydration, use of antihypertensive medications) [see Dosage and Administration [see Dosage and Administration (2.2, 2.6), Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. 

Seizures

Seizures have occurred with clozapine treatment. The risk is dose-related. Initiate treatment at 12.5 mg, titrate gradually, and use divided dosing. Use caution when administering VERSACLOZ to patients with a history of seizures or other predisposing risk factors for seizure (CNS pathology, medications that lower the seizure threshold, alcohol abuse). Caution patients about engaging in any activity where sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious risk to themselves or others [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) and Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].

Myocarditis, Cardiomyopathy and Mitral Valve Incompetence

Fatal myocarditis and cardiomyopathy have occurred with clozapine treatment. Discontinue VERSACLOZ and obtain a cardiac evaluation upon suspicion of these reactions. Generally, patients with VERSACLOZ-related myocarditis or cardiomyopathy should not be rechallenged with VERSACLOZ. Consider the possibility of myocarditis or cardiomyopathy if chest pain, tachycardia, palpitations, dyspnea, fever, flu-like symptoms, hypotension, or ECG changes occur [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)].

Increased Mortality in Elderly Patients with Dementia-Related Psychosis

Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. VERSACLOZ is not approved for use in patients with dementia-related psychosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].
