Hematopoietic chimerism induces donor-specific tolerance to solid organ grafts. The clinical application of this technique is limited by the morbidity and mortality of conventional bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Conditioning for engraftment is nonspecific, utilizing myeloablation plus nonspecific immunosuppression. In the present study we have characterized which cells in the recipient hematopoietic microenvironment prevent allogeneic marrow engraftment. Mice defective in production of αβ-TCR cells, γδ-TCR cells; αβ- plus γδ-TCR cells; CD8 cells and CD4 cells were transplanted with MHC-disparate allogeneic bone marrow. In normal mice, 500 cGy total body irradiation (TBI) plus cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg) on day +2 is required for engraftment of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Mice lacking both αβ- and γδ-TCR +  cells engrafted when conditioned with 0 to 300 cGy TBI alone, suggesting that αβ plus γδ T cells in the host play a critical and non-redundant role in preventing engraftment of allogeneic bone marrow. When mice were conditioned with 300 cGy TBI plus a single dose of cyclophosphamide on day +2, all mice engrafted except for mice defective in production of CD4 +  cells. Moreover, CD8 KO mice engrafted without TBI if administered cyclophosphamide on day +2 relative to the marrow infusion. These results suggest that different cell populations in host marrow with different mechanisms of action play a role in the resistance to engraftment of allogeneic bone marrow. Both αβ-TCR +  and γδ-TCR +  T-cells play an important and non-redundant role in the marrow rejection response. In addition, the CD8 +  cell effector function is mechanistically different from that for conventional T-cells and independent of CD4 +  T-helper cells. Targeting of specific recipient cellular populations may permit conditioning approaches to allow mixed chimerism with minimal morbidity.
In this study, the feasibility of evaluating the efficacy of a cloud based analytic service in combination with a PPG-wearable in detecting AA will be assessed and the number of cases found. The design aims to provide simple, low-threshold access to this screening technology targeting at-risk populations. This study will not cause any restrictions on the usual care of the study participants. Access to the screening will be provided close to home and free of charge. The app will also be used to validate and enhance the clinical information about the participants captured during the study. This information will be used to define and refine target groups with highest screening efficiency and, in the long-term, outcome benefits. The study will describe the prevalence of AA in an unselected population that can be reached by a low-threshold screening procedure. The study will also generate important information on the different possible screening environments in different countries (e.g. pharmacies, GP practices, etc). Structures of work-up and continuous patient management in screen-positive individuals will be described and may help to design screening pathways in the main trial. By verifying the wearable-diagnoses by ECG in all screen-positive and a random selection of screen-negative participants, the diagnostic accuracy of the wearable in combination of cloud based analytic service can be estimated. Cost effectiveness assessment will evaluate the cost of low-threshold remote screening per patient identified and help guide to target high risk groups with optimal screening yield in the future. The collected data will provide the sound basis for the design and conduct of a large outcome trial.
This study examined the effects of exercise and detraining at a young age on fat accumulation in various organs. Four-week-old male Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats were assigned to either the non-exercise sedentary (OLETF Sed) or exercise groups. The exercise group was subdivided into two groups: exercise between 4 and 12 weeks of age (OLETF Ex) and exercise between 4 and 6 weeks of age followed by non-exercise between 6 and 12 weeks of age (OLETF DT). Body weight was significantly lower in the OLETF Ex group than in the OLETF Sed group at 12 weeks of age. Fat accumulation in the epididymal white adipose tissue, liver, and brown adipose tissue was suppressed in the OLETF Ex group. During the exercise period, body weight and food intake in the OLETF DT group were significantly lower than those in the OLETF Sed group. However, food intake was significantly higher in the OLETF DT group than in the OLETF Sed group after exercise cessation, resulting in extreme obesity with fatty liver and brown adipose tissue whitening. Detraining after early-onset exercise promotes hyperphagia, causing extreme obesity. Overeating should be avoided during detraining periods in cases of exercise cessation at a young age.
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported that low hematocrit levels indicate poor survival in patients with ovarian cancer and cervical cancer, the prognostic value of hematocrit for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients has not been determined. The prognostic value of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) for CRC patients was controversial.
AIM: To investigate the impact of RDW and hematocrit on the short-term outcomes and long-term prognosis of CRC patients who underwent radical surgery.
METHODS: Patients who were diagnosed with CRC and underwent radical CRC resection between January 2011 and January 2020 at a single clinical center were included. The short-term outcomes, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared among the different groups. Cox analysis was also conducted to identify independent risk factors for OS and DFS.
RESULTS: There were 4258 CRC patients who underwent radical surgery included in our study. A total of 1573 patients were in the lower RDW group and 2685 patients were in the higher RDW group. There were 2166 and 2092 patients in the higher hematocrit group and lower hematocrit group, respectively. Patients in the higher RDW group had more intraoperative blood loss (P < 0.01) and more overall complications (P < 0.01) than did those in the lower RDW group. Similarly, patients in the lower hematocrit group had more intraoperative blood loss (P = 0.012), longer hospital stay (P = 0.016) and overall complications (P < 0.01) than did those in the higher hematocrit group. The higher RDW group had a worse OS and DFS than did the lower RDW group for tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage I (OS, P < 0.05; DFS, P = 0.001) and stage II (OS, P = 0.004; DFS, P = 0.01) than the lower RDW group; the lower hematocrit group had worse OS and DFS for TNM stage II (OS, P < 0.05; DFS, P = 0.001) and stage III (OS, P = 0.001; DFS, P = 0.001) than did the higher hematocrit group. Preoperative hematocrit was an independent risk factor for OS [P = 0.017, hazard ratio (HR) = 1.256, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.041-1.515] and DFS (P = 0.035, HR = 1.194, 95%CI: 1.013-1.408).
CONCLUSION: A higher preoperative RDW and lower hematocrit were associated with more postoperative complications. However, only hematocrit was an independent risk factor for OS and DFS in CRC patients who underwent radical surgery, while RDW was not.

The RCT study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of multisensoral nature-based intervention compare to standard care in relieving anxiety, fear and pain in hospitalized child aged 5 to 9 years and parent's anxiety and satisfaction during venous blood sampling. The intervention includes a multi-sensory nature experience using natural materials and a virtually created natural environment. The study will include children and parents in the intervention group (N=53, receiving the multisensoral nature-based intervention) and children and parents in the control group (N=53, receiving usual care). The children's blood sampling will be videotaped. The assessment uses different measures assess to child's anxiety (mYPAS = The modified Yale preoperative anxiety scale), child's fear (CFC = Children Fear Scale), child's pain (FAS = Facial Affective Scale), parent's anxiety (STAY-Y1 = The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) and satisfaction (VAS = Visual Analogue Scale) during venous blood sampling. In addition, heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (O2) measurements are used to assess the child's anxiety, fear and pain. The data will be analysed using statistical methods.
OBJECTIVE: Velvet antler polypeptide (VAP) has been shown to play important roles in the immune and nervous systems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of VAP on cerebral ischemic injury with the involvement of NF-κB signaling pathway in vitro.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: PC-12 cells stimulated by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) was used to mimic cerebral ischemic injury in vitro. The levels of ROS, SOD, and intracellular concentrations of Ca2+ were measured by the relevant kits. Meanwhile, the expressions of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) were determined by ELISA kit assay. In addition, MTT, EdU, and flow cytometry assays were used to measure the cell proliferation and apoptosis. Besides which, the related proteins of NF-κB signaling pathway were measured by western blotting assay.
RESULTS: VAP alleviated cerebral ischemic injury by reducing OGD/R-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in PC-12 cells in a time dependent manner. Mechanistically, VAP inhibited the levels of p-p65 and p-IkB-α in a time dependent manner, which was induced by OGD/R operation. Moreover, NF-κB agonist diprovocim overturned the suppression effects of VAP on OGD/R-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in PC-12 cells.
CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that VAP may alleviate cerebral ischemic injury by suppressing the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway.

The invention provides a method for blocking site-specifically chemokine-related inflammatory processes in vascular diseases and metastasis employing vascular targeted nanocarrier. In particular, the present invention provides two types of targeted  n ano c arrier (NC) with encapsulated  c hemokine  a ntagonists (CA) or  c hemokine  r eceptor  a ntagonists (CRA): stabilised  t arget-sensitive  l iposomes (TSL) and  p olymeric  n anoparticles (PNP). Both types of nanocarrier have attached on their surface monoclonal antibodies or peptides that recognize VCAM-1 expressed on activated endothelial cells (EC). After binding of the nanocarrier to the VCAM-1 expressed on EC, the encapsulated CA or CRA are released and will block the interaction between chemokine and chemokine receptors. This will lead to an inhibition of transmigration of leukocytes (in atherosclerosis) or of tumor metastatic cells (in cancer). The invention provides a carrier system which delivers effective concentrations of drugs specifically to the diseased (target) sites and reduces the drug concentrations at non-target sites. This results in a reduced, even absent, occurrence of side effects. The nanocarriers described in this invention have the potential to function as long-lasting vehicles for delivering selectively CA or CRA to activated endothelium.

BACKGROUND: Reverse homodigital artery island flap (RHDI) has been reported to have some postoperative complications. Cross-finger reverse digital artery island flap (CRDI), which is harvested from an adjacent intact finger, has been used to decrease these complications. This study aimed to provide a review of the CRDI procedure and compare the clinical outcomes of CRDI with those of RHDI.
METHODS: RHDI has been performed for fingertip amputations with deficit of 1.5-2.5 cm before 2018, and CRDI has been performed since 2018. We assessed the functional and aesthetic outcomes, including finger length, nail deformity, finger motion, and Hand20 scores at the final follow-up.
RESULTS: We identified 22 patients who underwent RHDI and 10 patients who underwent CRDI. The mean follow-up period was 10.3 ± 5.3 months. The median time required for wound healing were 47.0 days (IQR: 34.3-55.8 days) and 34.5 days (IQR: 29.3-44.3 days) in RHDI and CRDI, respectively. The hook nail deformity occurred significantly more frequently in RHDI compared to that in CRDI (40.9% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.03). Flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint greater than 15º was found to be significantly more in RHDI than in CRDI (36.4% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.04). The median postoperative total active motion of the donor site in CRDI was 278º (IQR: 260-280º). The median postoperative Hand20 scores were similar between the two groups.
CONCLUSION: CRDI was associated with superior clinical outcomes in terms of lower rates of postoperative flexion contracture and hook nail deformity, potentially making it a better option compared to RHDI.
The purposes of the study are to determine the frequency of auto-antibodies to 1) heat shock proteins and 2) to other molecules including cytoskeletal proteins such as rapsyn in diseases of the nervous system.

5cc of serum will be obtained from patients with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases of the nervous system including myasthenia gravis and transverse myelitis and from patients with other neurological diseases. Standard methodology to assure safe handling of serum will be used. Diluted serum will be tested for specific reactivity with heat shock proteins (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) as well as with other antigens in a standard ELISA as well as immunoblot.

Buccal swab will also be obtained in conjunction with each blood draw. Rapsyn and other cytoskeletal proteins will be extracted from Torpedo californica electric organ by means of differential centrifugation followed by alkali extraction. For the ELISA, a standard titration curve will be obtained for a positive control serum as previously determined. Negative control sera will be obtained from individuals with other degenerative neurological diseases. Titers of test serum will be determined as the dilution that generates a positive result that is two standard deviations from the mean of the background. Positive ELISA results will be confirmed by immunoblot. Patients may be tested at one time point only. If the serum is positive for specific antibody binding, additional serum samples may be obtained and retested up to 8 more times approximately 3 months apart. Correlation with severity of clinical findings and specific antibody titer will be made. Severity of clinical findings will be determined by the neurological exam done by the investigator.
Approximately 10-15% of individuals in the United States have symptoms consistent with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) which is a costly disorder and negatively impacts patient quality of life. The pathogenesis of this heterogeneous disorder is still not well understood. Patients frequently identify worsening of symptoms after meals and often cite particular foods as triggers of their IBS symptoms. Unfortunately, there is insufficient randomized clinical trial data to allow for specific dietary recommendations. Previous research has suggested a role for carbohydrate ingestion in IBS. There is also evidence for the role of the post-prandial release of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and its turnover (as represented by the ratio of its metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), to 5-HT in response to a carbohydrate-rich meal, especially in those with IBS-D. As the prevalence of overweight (body mass index \[BMI\] \> 25 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI \> 30 kg/m2) has risen in recent years, very low carbohydrate diets have become popular for those attempting to lose weight. Patients with IBS, especially IBS-D, anecdotally report improvement in their gastrointestinal symptoms after initiating a very low carbohydrate diet. However, no study has investigated the effect of a very low carbohydrate diet on symptoms and quality of life in patients with IBS-D.
The invention discloses an APARPAR polypeptide-modified invisible liposome and a drug delivery system. The APARPAR polypeptide is modified on the surface of an invisible liposome. The membrane of the invisible liposome contains hydrogenated soybean lecithin, cholesterol, polyethylene glycol-stearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine and tearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine-polyethylene glycol-APARPAR. The invention further relates to the drug delivery system. The drug delivery system is formed by encapsulating an anti-tumor drug encapsulated with the APARPAR polypeptide-modified invisible liposome. The liposome drug delivery system can be used for targeted therapy of glioma and can go through the walls of blood vessels in a tumor mass under the mediating action of the APARPAR polypeptide to penetrate the inside of the whole tumor mass, so that the effect of killing the tumor cells is greatly improved.
HIV infection is controllable with antiretroviral therapy (ART), but ART cannot eliminate HIV reservoirs. Thus, there is no available cure for HIV. There is a large and growing body of evidence that the central nervous system (CNS) is an HIV reservoir site and a barrier to HIV eradication. HIV DNA is commonly found in brain from people with HIV (PWH) on suppressive ART. HIV genetic compartmentalization occurs in both the brain and CSF, showing that CNS HIV is distinct from peripheral sources such as blood. Multiple studies have demonstrated that CSF HIV RNA can be detected at very low levels during suppressive ART. A study from the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) found HIV DNA in CSF cells from approximately 50% of PWH on suppressive ART, a finding that was associated with neurocognitive impairment. The study team's group recently demonstrated a significant advance in quantitating HIV from the CSF. Specifically, CSF cell associated HIV RNA was quantifiable in 90% and CSF HIV DNA was quantifiable in 80% of PWH on suppressive ART. Based on these multiple lines of evidence that the CNS is an HIV reservoir, more research is needed on therapies that have the potential to target the CNS reservoir.

The study team has performed extensive pre-clinical and clinical work on the Janus Kinase (Jak 1/2) inhibitor drug class for viral infections. This includes work on ruxolitinib and baricitinib, two FDA approved orally bioavailable agents for myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera (ruxolitinib) as well as rheumatoid arthritis (baricitinib). The investigators have evaluated their potential to target HIV in the CNS in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo Specifically, the study team has demonstrated that these agents block HIV replication and infection in key CNS cells, reduce the lifespan of HIV CNS reservoirs, and block reservoir reseeding. In vivo, the study team has shown in the murine model that baricitinib decreases CNS HIV and reverses behavioral abnormalities associated with HIV, which correlates with reversal of phenotypic markers of brain inflammation. This has also demonstrated that baricitinib reaches therapeutic CNS concentrations in the rhesus macaque model (including in brain parenchyma) as well as in humans. In a recently published multi-site Phase 2a ACTG-sponsored study with ruxolitinib (A5336, n = 60),the research group demonstrated that ruxolitinib is safe, well-tolerated, and reduces key markers of immune activation. New data that ruxolitinib decreased the peripheral HIV reservoir in a subset of A5336 participants provides even more evidence for this drug class to be included in eradication strategies. However, A5336 did not have any CNS assessments. The investigators now propose to study baricitinib, one of the most promising Jak 1/2 inhibitors with once daily dosing, renal clearance, and a more favorable safety/ pharmacokinetic profile, as a therapy to decrease the HIV CNS reservoir in PWH with durable virologic suppression on ART.

In case of overdose with Tretinoin, reversible signs of hypervitaminosis A (headache, nausea, vomiting, mucocutaneous symptoms) can appear. The maximal tolerated dose in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or solid tumors was 195 mg/m 2/day. The maximal tolerated dose in pediatric patients was lower at 60 mg/m 2/day. Overdosage with other retinoids has been associated with transient headache, facial flushing, cheilosis, abdominal pain, dizziness and ataxia. These symptoms have quickly resolved without apparent residual effects. 

There is no specific treatment in the case of an overdose; however, it is important that the patient be treated in a special hematological unit.
