A prospective, randomized, multicenter, national, superiority, parallel, clinical trial, design to evaluate the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer selected by cfDNA-HPV biomarker. Patients will be randomized by stratified randomization process to belong to one of the groups: control (Group B) or intervention (Group C), emphasizing homogeneity of risk factors between them. A randomized list will be generated by using a suitable software, using variable size blocks (2 or 4), with stratification for site and staging. The confidentiality of the randomization list will be maintained through an automated, centralized, Internet-based randomization system, available 24 hours a day (RedCap). Selected patients must receive standard treatment based on concomitant chemoradiotherapy regime, with dose of radiation of 40-50 greys (Gy) (considering additional boost of 10-15 Gy in lymph nodes, radiologically or surgically, compromised) and brachytherapy of 30-40 Gy and cisplatin 40mg/m2 weekly. After four weeks of the end of treatment, a qualitative and quantitative research of cfHPV-DNA in plasma of patients will be conducted. Those with a negative qualitative research result will leave the study. Patients who have positive research for plasma 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 69, 73, 82 cfHPV-DNA at the end of chemoradiotherapy treatment will be randomized to receive two additional cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy or observation. In those cases in which the duration of radiochemotherapy treatment exceeds 84 days, patients must undergo imaging examination (chest, abdomen and pelvis CT) in order to exclude pre-randomization metastatic disease. Patients will be followed with conduction of computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax and magnetic resonance (MRI) of abdomen and pelvis and clinical and gynecological examination at every four months.
Between July 2010 and August 2016, 214 patients underwent MIE (thoracoscopic-laparoscopic oesophagectomy) for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the Thoracic Department, The Second Hospital of Shandong University. Eight of these 214 patients were converted to thoracotomy or laparotomy, one patient was unable to tolerate single-lung ventilation due to a history of left upper lobectomy, and the other seven patients were due to bleeding controlling. Among the 214 patients enrolled, there were 182 males and 32 females in the MIE group. A total of 170 patients underwent oesophagectomy by open thoracotomy from August 2014 to August 2016, and these patients were defined as the open group. The data from the patients in the open group were compared with those of the patients who underwent thoracoscopic-laparoscopic oesophagectomy during the same clinical period. All patients were preoperatively diagnosed with oesophageal cancer by endoscopy and biopsy, with routine thoracic and abdominal enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans and endoscopic ultrasonography to evaluate the clinical TNM stage. The operations were performed by a single surgical team. This study was approved by the ethics committee and Medical Administration Division of the Second Hospital of Shandong University. Written informed consent was obtained from each of the enrolled patients. All methods performed in the investigator's study were conducted in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
As an inflammatory regulator, intestinal regenerating islet-derived 3 gamma (RegⅢγ) contributes to alleviating liver injury in liver diseases and colitis. However, it is unclear whether hepatic RegⅢγ exerts a vital impact on liver regeneration (LR). In this study, the expression profile and localization of RegⅢγ in LR were demonstrated by microarray analysis, qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining. Then, RAW264.7 cells with RegⅢγ deficiency and overexpression were obtained by the CRISPR/Cas9 system and lentivirus infection, respectively. MTT, flow cytometry, EdU, transwell, neutral red phagocytosis, and NO assays were performed to detect the functions of RegⅢγ in RAW264.7 cell proliferation and inflammation. Finally, the regulatory mechanism of RegⅢγ was explored by co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot assays. According to our findings, RegⅢγ showed significant expression changes in Kupffer cells during LR, and RegⅢγ overexpression stimulated the viability, proliferation, phagocytosis and migration of RAW264.7 cells, whereas RegⅢγ deficiency reversed these effects. Similarly, RegⅢγ overexpression facilitated the expression of HO-1 and IL-10, while RegⅢγ deficiency promoted NO production and p-Akt, p-STAT3, p-p65 and TNF-α expression. In conclusion, RegⅢγ may facilitate LR by promoting the proliferation of macrophages and inhibiting their inflammatory response through Akt, STAT3 and NF-κB pathways in the priming stage of LR.
PURPOSE: Although patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) have been living longer with the advent of more effective treatments such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, the disease remains incurable, and most patients will undergo therapy indefinitely. When beginning therapy, patients are typically prescribed dose often based upon the maximum tolerated dose identified in phase I clinical trials. However, patients' perspectives about tolerability and willingness to discuss individualized dosing of drugs upon initiation of a new regimen and throughout the course of treatment have not been comprehensively evaluated.
METHODS: Patient advocates and medical oncologists from the Patient-Centered Dosing Initiative (PCDI) developed a survey to ascertain the prevalence and severity of MBC patients' treatment-related side effects, the level of patient-physician communication, mitigation strategies, perception about the relative efficacy of higher versus lower doses, and willingness to discuss alternative dosing. The PCDI distributed the anonymous confidential online survey in August 2020 to individuals with self-reported MBC.
RESULTS: One thousand and two hundred twenty-one patients with MBC completed the survey. 86.1% (n = 1,051) reported experiencing at least one significant treatment-related side effect, and of these, 20.3% (n = 213) visited the emergency room/hospital and 43.2% (n = 454) missed at least one treatment. Nearly all patients with side effects (97.6%, n = 1,026) informed their doctor and 81.7% (n = 838) received assistance. Of the 556 patients given a dose reduction for side-effect mitigation, 82.6% (n = 459) reported relief. Notably, majority of patients (53.3%, n = 651) do not believe that higher dose is always more effective than lower dose, and 92.3% (n = 1,127) would be willing to discuss flexible dosing options with their physicians based upon personal characteristics to optimize quality of life.
CONCLUSION: Given that the majority of patients with MBC experienced at least one substantial treatment-related side effect and most patients given a dose reduction reported improvement, innovative dosage-related strategies are warranted to sustain and improve patients' well-being. Patient-physician discussions in which the patient's unique attributes and circumstances are assessed upon initiation of new treatment and throughout the course of therapy may facilitate the identification of the most favorable dose for each patient, and the majority of patients would be receptive to this approach.
OBJECTIVES: Abnormal motility of the residual colon has been reported in post-pull-through Hirschsprung disease (PT-HSCR) patients with persistent defecation problems. We reviewed the role of colonic manometry (CM) in the management of defecation disorders in these patients.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical record of PT-HSCR children who underwent CM for persistent symptoms of abnormal defecation. We reviewed their clinical course and its relation to CM findings.
RESULTS: Thirty PT-HSCR patients underwent CM, of which five were diagnosed with transition zone pull-through and were excluded. Of the remaining 25 patients, 16 had colonic dysmotility, 8 had normal CM, and one had colonic hypermotility. In patients with dysmotility, five responded to ongoing medical management, three required surgical intervention (ileostomy), three remained symptomatic with medical management but not yet received surgical intervention, and five were lost to follow-up. In patients with normal CM, four responded to ongoing medical therapy, two required additional surgery (antegrade enema procedure), and two were lost to follow-up. The patient with hypermotility improved with adding loperamide.
CONCLUSIONS: Colonic dysmotility can occur in PT-HSCR patients with persistent defecation problems. CM was helpful in delineating the degree of colonic neuromuscular dysfunction. CM results were used in conjunction with other clinical data to determine optimal management. Our findings support that medical management should first be optimized before consideration of colonic manometry and surgical interventions.
1308264 I-N-Benzyl-#-methoxy-3-trifluoromethyl-phenylethylamine SMITH KLINE & FRENCH LABORATORIES 27 July 1971 [28 July 1970] 35156/71 Heading C2C [Also in Division A5] The title compound is prepared by treating the dl form in a lower alkanol with an optically active levorotatory organic acid to form the corresponding optically active salt which is then treated with a base to liberate the l-isomer. Alternatively an aqueous lower alkanol solution of the racemic mixture is treated with an optically active organic acid, (e.g. D-tartaric acid) to remove the d-isomer of the amine then the mother liquor is made basic and subsequently treated with the corresponding enantiomer of the optically active organic acid (e.g. L-tartaric acid) to form a salt from which the l-isomer of the amine is subsequently liberated. The title compound may be. converted into pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts such as the hydrochloride.
Coordinated cell interactions within the esophagus maintain homeostasis, and disruption can lead to eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a chronic inflammatory disease with poorly understood pathogenesis. We profile 421,312 individual cells from the esophageal mucosa of 7 healthy and 15 EoE participants, revealing 60 cell subsets and functional alterations in cell states, compositions, and interactions that highlight previously unclear features of EoE. Active disease displays enrichment of ALOX15+ macrophages, PRDM16+ dendritic cells expressing the EoE risk gene ATP10A, and cycling mast cells, with concomitant reduction of TH17 cells. Ligand-receptor expression uncovers eosinophil recruitment programs, increased fibroblast interactions in disease, and IL-9+IL-4+IL-13+ TH2 and endothelial cells as potential mast cell interactors. Resolution of inflammation-associated signatures includes mast and CD4+ TRM cell contraction and cell type-specific downregulation of eosinophil chemoattractant, growth, and survival factors. These cellular alterations in EoE and remission advance our understanding of eosinophilic inflammation and opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
Laparoscopic treatment for endometrioma Astus© will use Bipolar coagulation (bipolar tweezers, Astus Medical ©, Copyright 2015, Tampa FL, USA) with 30 W power and a Valleylab generator (Medronic ©, Copyright 2017, Medtronic Parkway, Minneapolis, USA); the number of coagulated points will be counted, and the time for coagulation will be measured in seconds. Transvaginal ultrasound for antral follicle count and blood collection will be performed in this group of patients before surgery, 1, 3 and 6 months after the procedure to dose AMH level, FSH level and to count the number of antral follicle.
For the students in the experimental group, the application was first demonstrated on a model by the course instructor, after which each student was required to perform the application individually. While the students were performing the application, someone not part of the research team recorded them on their phones. During the application, two researchers independently assessed the student's skills using the application checklist. Afterward, the students were asked to watch their videos and evaluate themselves over a 15-day period. After 15 days, the students were called back and asked to perform the same application again. At this stage, the researchers once again evaluated the students independently.
The Pulmonary Assist System (PAS) is currently under development as a wearable respiratory assist system. In this study, the hemocompatibility of the PAS's axial-flow mechanical pump (AFP) was compared to other contemporary mechanical pumps in an acute ovine model. The PAS was attached to a normal sheep in a venovenous configuration using one of three pumps: 1) AFP, 2) ReliantHeart HeartAssist 5 (control), or 3) Abbott Pedimag (control) (n = 5 each). Each sheep was supported on the PAS for 12 hours with two L/minute of blood flow and four L/minute of sweep gas. Hemolysis, coagulation, inflammation, and platelet activation and loss were compared among the groups. In this study, the plasma-free hemoglobin (pfHb) was less than 10 mg/dl in all groups. The pfHb was significantly lower in the AFP group compared to other groups. There was no significant clot formation in the pumps and oxygenators in all groups. Furthermore, no significant differences in coagulation (oxygenator resistance, fibrinopeptide A), inflammation (white blood cell counts, IL-8), and platelet activation and loss (p-selectin, platelet counts) were observed among the groups (all, p > 0.05). This study demonstrates equivalent hemocompatibility of the PAS's AFP to other contemporary mechanical pumps with a reduced level of hemolysis on startup.
BACKGROUND: The process of gamete formation and early embryonic development involves rapid DNA replication, chromosome segregation and cell division. These processes may be affected by mutations in the BRCA1/2 genes. The aim of this study was to evaluate BRCA mutation inheritance and its effect on early embryonic development according to the parental origin of the mutation. The study question was approached by analyzing in vitro fertilization cycles (IVF) that included pre-implantation testing (PGT-M) for a BRCA gene mutation.
METHODS: This retrospective cohort study compared cycles of pre-implantation genetic testing for mutations (PGT-M) between male and female patients diagnosed with BRCA 1/2 mutations (cases), to a control group of two other mutations with dominant inheritance (myotonic dystrophy (MD) and polycystic kidney disease (PKD)). Results were compared according to mutation type and through a generalized linear model analysis.
RESULTS: The cohort included 88 PGT-M cycles (47 BRCA and 41 non-BRCA) among 50 patients. Maternal and paternal ages at oocyte retrieval were comparable between groups. When tested per cycle, FSH dose, maximum estradiol level, oocytes retrieved, number of zygotes, and number of embryos available for biopsy and affected embryos, were not significantly different among mutation types. All together 444 embryos were biopsied: the rate of affected embryos was comparable between groups. Among BRCA patients, the proportion of affected embryos was similar between maternal and paternal mutation origin (p = 0.24). In a generalized linear model analysis, the relative oocyte yield in maternal BRCA patients was significantly lower (0.7, as related to the non BRCA group)(p < 0.001). Zygote formation and blastulation were not affected by the BRCA gene among paternal cases (P = 0.176 and P = 0.293 respectively), nor by paternal versus maternal BRCA carriage (P = 0.904 and P = 0.149, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: BRCA PGT-M cycles performed similarly compared to non-BRCA cycles. Inheritance rate and cycle parameters were not affected by the parental origin of the mutation.

Severe hypotension, particularly with upright posture, may occur with even small doses of isosorbide mononitrate. This drug should, therefore, be used with caution in patients who may be volume depleted or who, for whatever reason, are already hypotensive. Hypotension induced by isosorbide mononitrate may be accompanied by paradoxical bradycardia and increased angina pectoris.  
  
Nitrate therapy may aggravate the angina caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.  
In industrial workers who have had long-term exposure to unknown (presumably high) doses of organic nitrates, tolerance clearly occurs. Chest pain, acute myocardial infarction, and even sudden death have occurred during temporary withdrawal of nitrates from these workers, demonstrating the existence of true physical dependence. The importance of these observations to the routine, clinical use of oral isosorbide mononitrate is not known.
Both tolerance and physical dependence can develop during use of opioid therapy.

Tolerance is a physiological state characterized by a reduced response to a drug after repeated administration (i.e., a higher dose of a drug is required to produce the same effect that was once obtained at a lower dose).

Physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of a physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug.

Withdrawal may be precipitated through the administration of drugs with opioid antagonist activity (e.g., naloxone), mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (e.g., pentazocine, butorphanol, nalbuphine), or partial agonists (e.g., buprenorphine). Physical dependence may not occur to a clinically significant degree until after several days to weeks of continued use.

Do not abruptly discontinue XTAMPZA ER in a patient physically dependent on opioids. Rapid tapering of XTAMPZA ER in a patient physically dependent on opioids may lead to serious withdrawal symptoms, uncontrolled pain, and suicide. Rapid discontinuation has also been associated with attempts to find other sources of opioid analgesics, which may be confused with drug-seeking for abuse.

When discontinuing XTAMPZA ER, gradually taper the dosage using a patient-specific plan that considers the following: the dose of XTAMPZA ER the patient has been taking, the duration of treatment, and the physical and psychological attributes of the patient. To improve the likelihood of a successful taper and minimize withdrawal symptoms, it is important that the opioid tapering schedule is agreed upon by the patient. In patients taking opioids for an extended period of time at high doses, ensure that a multimodal approach to pain management, including mental health support (if needed), is in place prior to initiating an opioid analgesic taper [see Dosage and Administration (2.6), Warnings and Precautions (5.14)].

Infants born to mothers physically dependent on opioids will also be physically dependent and may exhibit respiratory difficulties and withdrawal signs [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
Viral diarrhea is the predominant digestive tract sickness in piglings, resulting in substantial profit losses in the porcine industry. Porcine rotavirus A (PoRVA) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) are the main causes of grave gastroenteritis and massive dysentery, especially in piglets. PoRVA and PEDV have high transmissibility, exhibit similar clinical symptoms, and frequently co-occur. Therefore, to avoid financial losses, a quick, highly efficient, objective diagnostic test for the prevention and detection of these diseases is required. Enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA) is a novel technology based on isothermal nucleic acid amplification. It demonstrates high sensitivity and excellent specificity, with a short processing time and easy operability, compared with other in vitro nucleic acid amplification technologies. In this study, a dual ERA method to detect and distinguish between PEDV and PoRVA nucleic acids was established. The method shows high sensitivity, as the detection limits were 101 copies/μL for both viruses. To test the usefulness of this method in clinical settings, we tested 64 swine clinical samples. Our results were 100% matched with those acquired using a commercially available kit. Therefore, we have successfully developed a dual diagnostic ERA nucleic acids method for detecting and distinguishing between PEDV and PoRVA.
INTRODUCTION: Chronic low back pain is a public health problem in view of its functional repercussions and the functional rehabilitation is an integral part of its management.
AIM: To compare the evolution of muscle strentgh of spinal extensors and flexors in chronic low back pain patients after an isokinetic rehabilitation protocol and a conventional rehabilitation one.
METHOD: This was a prospective and comparative study carried out in the Physical Medicine Department of the Tunis Military Hospital over a period of 7 months. Fifty patients were included, randomly divided into two groups of 25. The first group (G1) benefited from an isokinetic rehabilitation protocol and the second one (G2) from a classic active physiotherapy. We performed a clinical (Sorensen test and Shirado test) and isokinetic evaluation of the trunk muscles before and after rehabilitation.
RESULTS: The mean age of the general population was 42±8.6 years old. Clinical evaluation showed a deficit in the extensor and flexor muscles of the spine, more important in the extensors in both groups. After rehabilitation, there was a significant improvement in clinical tests of muscular endurance in G1 and G2. Isokinetic assessment showed a greater muscle deficit in the extensors in both groups. After isokinetic rehabilitation, peak torque for flexors and extensors increased by 21% and 23% respectively, power was 34% and 37% higher, and total work increased by 26% and 47%. On the other hand, the (F/E) ratios were unchanged for all three speeds. In Group 2, peak torque values for flexors and extensors increased by 22 and 15% respectively, power was higher by 31 and 23% and total work was also up by 29 and 17%, while F/E ratios were also unchanged. Group 1 showed the greatest improvement in extensor strength at 60°/s, and in power at 90°/s for the various muscles.
CONCLUSION: In our study, we concluded that endurance and muscular strength improved the most after isokinetic rehabilitation.
