Behçet's syndrome and Cogan's syndrome constitute the group of variable vessel vasculitides in the Chapel-Hill Nomenclature. They involve arteries and veins of all sizes. As reflected in the name "syndrome", both diseases can manifest with different individual symptoms. Both formally are rare diseases, but the Cogan syndrome is much rarer than Behçet`s. For the latter, there are diagnosis and classification criteria as well as European (EULAR, European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology) treatment recommendations. The symptomatology, diagnostic measures and treatment as well as some considerations about pathogenesis will be discussed in this article.
Breastfeeding is an important determinant of infant health and there is immense interest in understanding its metabolite composition so that key beneficial components can be identified. The aim of this research was to measure the fatty acid composition of human milk in an Irish cohort where we examined changes depending on lactation stage and gestational weight gain trajectory. Utilizing a chromatography approach optimal for isomer separation, we identified 44 individual fatty acid species via GCMS and showed that monomethyl branched-chain fatty acids(mmBCFA's), C15:0 and C16:1 are lower in women with excess gestational weight gain versus low gestational weight gain. To further explore the potential contribution of the activity of endogenous metabolic pathways to levels of these fatty acids in milk, we administered D2O to C57BL/6J dams fed a purified lard based high fat diet (HFD) or low-fat diet during gestation and quantified the total and de novo synthesized levels of fatty acids in their milk. We found that de novo synthesis over three days can account for between 10 and 50 % of mmBCFAs in milk from dams on the low-fat diet dependent on the branched-chain fatty acid species. However, HFD fed mice had significantly decreased de novo synthesized fatty acids in milk resulting in lower total mmBCFAs and medium chain fatty acid levels. Overall, our findings highlight the diverse fatty acid composition of human milk and that human milk mmBCFA levels differ between gestational weight gain phenotypes. In addition, our data indicates that de novo synthesis contributes to mmBCFA levels in mice milk and thus may also be a contributory factor to mmBCFA levels in human milk. Given emerging data indicating mmBCFAs may be beneficial components of milk, this study contributes to our knowledge around the phenotypic factors that may impact their levels.
With the continuous refinement of therapeutic measures, the survival rate of tumor patients has been improving year by year, while cardiovascular complications related to cancer therapy have become increasingly prominent. Exploring the mechanism and prevention strategy of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) remains one of the research hotspots in the field of Cardio-Oncology in recent years. Cardiotoxicity of anticancer drugs involves heart failure, myocarditis, hypertension, arrhythmias and vascular toxicity, mechanistically related to vascular endothelial dysfunction, ferroptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. To address the cardiotoxicity induced by different anticancer drugs, various therapeutic measures have been put in place, such as reducing the accumulation of anticancer drugs, shifting to drugs with less cardiotoxicity, using cardioprotective drugs, and early detection. Due to the very limited treatments available to ameliorate anticancer drugs-induced cardiotoxicity, a few innovations are being shifted from animal studies to human studies. Examples include mitochondrial transplantation. Mitochondrial transplantation has been proven to be effective in in vivo and in vitro experiments. Several recent studies have demonstrated that intercellular mitochondrial transfer can ameliorate doxorubicin(DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity, laying the foundation for innovative therapies in anticancer drugs-induced cardiotoxicity. In this review, we will discuss the current status of anticancer drugs-induced cardiotoxicity in terms of the pathogenesis and treatment, with a focus on mitochondrial transplantation, and we hope that this review will bring some inspiration to you.

The calcaneocuboid joint is stable, even although multiple conditions might affect the joint, ranging from osteoarthritis to fracture, subluxation, and dislocation. Calcaneocuboid arthrodesis is more commonly performed as an adjunct procedure with other rearfoot procedures such as triple arthrodesis and is less used as isolated fusion.\[1\],\[2\],\[3\] What the most effective and least cost method for calcaneocuboid arthrodesis?! Many conditions that may affect foot that cause pain ; and there are many methods for relieve that pain , one of these is arthrodesis , and calcaneocuboid joint one of the most affected joints , and commonly we do calcaneocuboid arthrodesis as a part of triple arthrodesis ( subtalar , talonavicular , calcaneocuboid ); The traditional fixation for a calcaneocuboid (CC) arthrodesis in triple arthrodesis is with a 6.5-mm cancellous screw. This procedure can be technically challenging. Fixation with a locking compression plate (LCP) may be easier to perform while achieving compression perpendicular to the fusion site. Investigators suppose that plate is more powerful than screw in calcaneocuboid arthrodesis. The purpose of this study was to compare the load to failure and the stiffness for each fixation method. \[4\],\[5\],\[6\] literature reveal that: More stability to the fusion site can be applied by using plate fixation. Rationale of the research that: calcaneocuboid arthrodesis with screw is effective and least cost compare to plate fixation? \[7\]
Septic arthritis (SA) of the native knee joint is a rare but highly disabling disease. Epidemiologic studies have documented an incidence of 0.9 per 100,000. The treatment is challenging and the ideal treatment strategy is not well established. Over the past decades, open or arthroscopic debridement with systemic antibiotic therapy is the most widely used approach. However, a recent study has shown that these two methods have a failure rate as high as 50%-71%. Patients with recurrent sepsis may require arthrodesis or amputation, which would result in severe functional loss. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find more effective surgical procedures.

A few reports proposed two-stage exchange to address SA and showed satisfying clinical outcomes. Orthopedic surgeons removed the infected soft and bone tissue during the first operation and then implant antibiotic-loaded bone cement spacer. Once the infection had been addressed, a new prosthesis was inserted in a second operation. This approach could greatly boost the success rate to over 95%. However, the issue is that high-dose antibiotics bone cement may cause life-threatening complications such as acute kidney injury and drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia. Therefore, investigators developed a two-stage exchange with low-dose antibiotics for the treatment of SA.

Investigators summarized and analyzed the treatment processes and performed laboratory, imaging, and functional evaluations after treatment. The purpose was to introduce a new treatment regimen for SA and evaluate the technical points of the regimen, and prognosis over medium-term follow-ups.
BACKGROUND: With steep posterior anorectal angulation, transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) may have a risk of dissection in the wrong plane or starting higher up, resulting in leaving distal mesorectum behind. Although the distal mesorectal margin can be assessed by preoperative MRI, it needs skilled radiologist and high-definition image for accurate evaluation. This study developed a deep neural network (DNN) to predict the optimal level of distal mesorectal margin.
METHODS: A total of 182 pelvic MRI images extracted from the cancer image archive (TCIA) database were included. A DNN was developed using gender, the degree of anterior and posterior anorectal angles as input variables while the difference between anterior and posterior mesorectal distances from anal verge was selected as a target. The predictability power was assessed by regression values (R) which is the correlation between the predicted outputs and actual targets.
RESULTS: The anterior angle was an obtuse angle while the posterior angle varied from acute to obtuse with mean angle difference 35.5°±14.6. The mean difference between the anterior and posterior mesorectal end distances was 18.6±6.6mm. The developed DNN had a very close correlation with the target during training, validation, and testing (R=0.99, 0.81, and 0.89, P<0.001). The predicted level of distal mesorectal margin was closely correlated with the actual optimal level (R=0.91, P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Artificial intelligence can assist in either making or confirming the preoperative decisions. Furthermore, the developed model can alert the surgeons for this potential risk and the necessity of re-positioning the proctectomy incision.
BACKGROUND: Obesity rates in the U.S. continue to increase, with nearly 50% of the population being either obese or morbidly obese. Obesity, along with female sex, are leading risk factors for sporadic Alzheimer's Disease (AD) necessitating the need to better understand how these variables impact cellular function independent of age or genetic mutations. Animal and clinical studies both indicate that autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) dysfunction is among the earliest known cellular systems to become perturbed in AD, preceding cognitive decline, yet little is known about how obesity and sex affects these cellular functions in the hippocampus, a brain region uniquely susceptible to the negative effects of obesity. We hypothesized that obesity would negatively affect key markers of ALP in the hippocampus, effects would vary based on sex, and that caloric restriction would counteract obesity effects.
METHODS: Female and male mice were placed on an obesogenic diet for 10 months, at which point half were switched to caloric restriction for three months, followed by cognitive testing in the Morris watermaze. Hippocampus was analyzed by western blot and qPCR.
RESULTS: Cognitive function in female mice responded differently to caloric restriction based on whether they were on a normal or obesogenic diet; male cognition was only mildly affected by caloric restriction and not obesity. Significant male-specific changes occurred in cellular markers of autophagy, including obesity increasing pAkt, Slc38a9, and Atg12, while caloric restriction reduced pRPS6 and increased Atg7. In contrast females experienced changes due to diet/caloric restriction predominately in lysosomal markers including increased TFE3, FLCN, FNIP2, and pAMPK.
CONCLUSIONS: Results support that hippocampal ALP is a target of obesity and that sex shapes molecular responses, while providing insight into how dietary manipulations affect learning and memory based on sex.

Neuroinflammation stands as a critical player in the pathogenesis of diverse neurological disorders, with microglial cells playing a central role in orchestrating the inflammatory landscape within the central nervous system. Cannabidiol (CBD) has gained attention for its potential to elicit anti-inflammatory responses in microglia, offering promising perspectives for conditions associated with neuroinflammation. Here we investigated whether the NLRP3 inflammasome and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) are involved in the protective effects of CBD, and if their modulation is dependent on cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) and PPARγ signalling pathways. We found that treatment with CBD attenuated pro-inflammatory markers in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged BV2 microglia in a CB2- and PPARγ-dependent manner. At a molecular level, CBD inhibited the LPS-induced pro-inflammatory responses by suppressing iNOS and NLRP3/Caspase-1-dependent signalling cascades, resulting in reduced nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations. Notably, the protective effects of CBD on NLRP3 expression, Caspase-1 activity, and IL-1β concentration were partially hindered by the antagonism of both CB2 receptors and PPARγ, while iNOS expression and NO secretion were dependent exclusively on PPARγ activation, with no CB2 involvement. Interestingly, CBD exhibited a protective effect against TNF-α increase, regardless of CB2 or PPARγ activation. Altogether, these findings indicate that CB2 receptors and PPARγ mediate the anti-inflammatory effects of CBD on the NLRP3 inflammasome complex, iNOS activity and, ultimately, on microglial phenotype. Our results highlight the specific components responsible for the potential therapeutic applications of CBD on neuroinflammatory conditions.

The cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin on malignant cells and its toxic effects on various organs are thought to be related to nucleotide base intercalation and cell membrane lipid binding activities of doxorubicin. Intercalation inhibits nucleotide replication and action of DNA and RNA polymerases. The interaction of doxorubicin with topoisomerase II to form DNA-cleavable complexes appears to be an important mechanism of doxorubicin cytocidal activity.

Doxorubicin cellular membrane binding may affect a variety of cellular functions. Enzymatic electron reduction of doxorubicin by a variety of oxidases, reductases and dehydrogenases generates highly reactive species including the hydroxyl free radical OH•. Free radical formation has been implicated in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity by means of Cu (II) and Fe (III) reduction at the cellular level.

Cells treated with doxorubicin have been shown to manifest the characteristic morphologic changes associated with apoptosis or programmed cell death. Doxorubicin-induced apoptosis may be an integral component of the cellular mechanism of action relating to therapeutic effects, toxicities, or both.

Animal studies have shown activity in a spectrum of experimental tumors, immunosuppression, carcinogenic properties in rodents, induction of a variety of toxic effects, including delayed and progressive cardiac toxicity, myelosuppression in all species and atrophy to testes in rats and dogs.
In Group-A patients, cannulated screw fixation was done using partially threaded screws. In this procedure, first step was insertion of three guide wires under image. The 1st guide wire was inserted immediately above calcar and into femoral head. The second wire was placed posteriorly adjacent to posterior cortex of neck on lateral view. Finally, third guide wire was placed anteriorly and superiorly. Drilling of lateral cortex was done before insertion of screws. Then partially threaded screw fixation was done before removal of guide wires using washers.

The implantation of mesh in the operation of inguinal hernia has resulted in a continuously diminishing frequency of reoperations. Randomized controlled trials indicate that hernia repair with an open mesh technique has a shorter learning curve, is cheaper and may give less recurrences than laparoscopic hernia repair in general surgical practice. Furthermore, local anesthesia has significant advantages for both the patient and the health related economy compared to general anesthesia and regional anesthesia. The experience of the last decade within the field of groin hernia surgery has focused interest on quality of life and postoperative pain (especially chronic pain). Chronic pain is defined as pain that remains 3 months after the operation. Recent studies indicate that one third of all patients operated on for inguinal hernia have some degree of chronic pain and that 4-6 % of patients have pain interfering with daily activities one year after surgery.

In the present study a heavy-weight polypropylene mesh will be compared with a light-weight partly absorbable mesh. In an expertise-based randomized control trial patients will be randomly allocated to two groups of surgeons, each group well trained to use one of the two meshes.
Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) is a progressive process which causes both left ventricular volume and pressure overload. While the volume overload is associated with the degree of the aortic regurgitant volume, the pressure overload occurs as a result of systemic hypertension developed due to increased stroke volume. In early stages, excentric hypertrophy occurs aiming to compensate the volume overload in the left ventricle. Therefore , ejection fraction remains in normal range despite the increasing volume overload. Left ventricular dilatation and impairment in ejection fraction only occur in the end stages of the disease. Asymptomatic patients with chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) have a good prognosis in the presence of preserved systolic function. Therefore it is a challenge to identify patients with subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Velocity vector imaging (VVI) is a new echocardiographic method based on two dimensional gray scale imaging, which is angle independent and can provide more accurate data about cardiac function.
