BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a long-lasting, inflammatory, continuous illness caused through T cells and characterized mainly by abnormal growth and division of keratinocytes. Currently, corticosteroids are the preferred option. However, prolonged use of traditional topical medication can lead to adverse reactions and relapse, presenting a significant therapeutic obstacle. Improved alternative treatment options are urgently required. Formononetin (FMN) is a representative component of isoflavones in Huangqi (HQ) [Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge.]. It possesses properties that reduce inflammation, combat oxidation, inhibit tumor growth, and mimic estrogen. Although FMN has been shown to ameliorate skin barrier devastation via regulating keratinocyte apoptosis and proliferation, there are no reports of its effectiveness in treating psoriasis.
OBJECTIVE: Through transcriptomics clues and experimental investigation, we aimed to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms underlying FMN's action on psoriasis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cell viability was examined using CCK8 assay in this study. The results of analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between FMN-treated HaCaT cells and normal HaCaT cells using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) were presented on volcano plots and heatmap. Enrichment analysis was conducted on DEGs using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO), and results were validated through RT-qPCR verification. After 12 days of FMN treatment in psoriasis mouse model, we gauged the PASI score and epidermis thickness. A variety of techniques were used to assess FMN's effectiveness on inhibiting inflammation and proliferation related to psoriasis, including RT-qPCR, HE staining, western blot, and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
RESULTS: The findings indicated that FMN could suppress the growth of HaCaT cells using CCK8 assay (with IC50 = 40.64 uM) and 20 uM FMN could reduce the level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) to the greatest extent. FMN-treated HaCaT cells exhibited 985 up-regulated and 855 down-regulated DEGs compared to normal HaCaT cells. GO analysis revealed that DEGs were linked to interferon (IFN) signaling pathway. Furthermore, FMN improved pathological features, which encompassed decreased erythema, scale, and thickness scores of skin lesions in psoriasis mouse model. In vivo experiments confirmed that FMN down-regulated expression of IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, decreased secretion of TNF-α and IL-17 inflammatory factors, inhibited expression of IFN-related chemokines included Cxcl9, Cxcl10, Cxcl11 and Cxcr3 and reduced expression of transcription factors p-STAT1, p-STAT3 and IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) in the imiquimod (IMQ) group.
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, these results suggested that FMN played an anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative role in alleviating psoriasis by inhibiting IFN signaling pathway, and FMN could be used as a potential therapeutic agent.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterised by an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure and a compromised the right ventricle (RV), together with progression to heart failure and premature death. Studies have evaluated the role of melatonin as a promising therapeutic strategy for PAH. The objective of this study was to evaluate melatonin's effects on oxidative stress and on the TLR4/NF-kβ inflammatory pathway in the RV of rats with PAH. Male Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: control, monocrotaline (MCT), and monocrotaline plus melatonin groups. These two last groups received one intraperitoneal injection of MCT (60 mg/kg) on the first day of experimental protocol. The monocrotaline plus melatonin group received 10 mg/kg/day of melatonin by gavage for 21 days. Echocardiographic analysis was performed, and the RV was collected for morphometric analysis oxidative stress and molecular evaluations. The main findings of the present study were that melatonin administration attenuated the reduction in RV function that was induced by monocrotaline, as assessed by TAPSE. In addition, melatonin prevented RV diastolic area reduction caused by PAH. Furthermore, animals treated with melatonin did not show an increase in ROS levels or in NF-kβ expression. In addition, the monocrotaline plus melatonin group showed a reduction in TLR4 expression when compared with control and monocrotaline groups. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating a positive effect of melatonin on the TLR4/NF-kβ pathway in the RV of rats with PAH. In this sense, this study makes it possible to think of melatonin as a possible ally in mitigating RV alterations caused by PAH.
PURPOSE: Early identification of hematoma enlargement and persistent hematoma expansion (HE) in patients with cerebral hemorrhage is increasingly crucial for determining clinical treatments. However, due to the lack of clinically effective tools, radiomics has been gradually introduced into the early identification of hematoma enlargement. Though, radiomics has limited predictive accuracy due to variations in procedures. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the value of radiomics in the early detection of HE in patients with cerebral hemorrhage.
METHODS: Eligible studies were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science from inception to April 8, 2024. English articles are considered eligible. The radiomics quality scoring (RQS) tool was used to evaluate included studies.
RESULTS: A total of 34 studies were identified with sample sizes ranging from 108 to 3016. Eleven types of models were involved, and the types of modeling contained mainly clinical, radiomic, and radiomic plus clinical features. The radiomics models seem to have better performance (0.77 and 0.73 C-index in the training cohort and validation cohort, respectively) than the clinical models (0.69 C-index in the training cohort and 0.70 C-index in the validation cohort) in discriminating HE. However, the C-index was the highest for the combined model in both the training (0.82) and validation (0.79) cohorts.
CONCLUSIONS: Machine learning based on radiomic plus clinical features has the best predictive performance for HE, followed by machine learning based on radiomic features, and can be used as a potential tool to assist clinicians in early judgment.
PURPOSE: Whether H1N1 infection-associated ocular manifestations result from direct viral infections or systemic complications remains unclear. This study aimed to comprehensively elucidate the underlying causes and mechanism.
METHOD: TCID50 assays was performed at 24, 48, and 72 hours to verify the infection of H1N1 in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs). The changes in gene expression profiles of HRMECs at 24, 48, and 72 hours were characterized using RNA sequencing technology. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were validated using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. CCK-8 assay and scratch assay were performed to evaluate whether there was a potential improvement of proliferation and migration in H1N1-infected cells after oseltamivir intervention.
RESULTS: H1N1 can infect and replicate within HRMECs, leading to cell rounding and detachment. After H1N1 infection of HRMECs, 2562 DEGs were identified, including 1748 upregulated ones and 814 downregulated ones. These DEGs primarily involved in processes such as inflammation and immune response, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, signal transduction regulation, and cell adhesion. The elevated expression levels of CXCL10, CXCL11, CCL5, TLR3, C3, IFNB1, IFNG, STAT1, HLA, and TNFSF10 after H1N1 infection were reduced by oseltamivir intervention, reaching levels comparable to those in the uninfected group. The impaired cell proliferation and migration after H1N1 infection was improved by oseltamivir intervention.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed that H1N1 can infect HRMECs, leading to the upregulation of chemokines, which may cause inflammation and destruction of the blood-retina barrier. Moreover, early oseltamivir administration may reduce retinal inflammation and hemorrhage in patients infected with H1N1.
This study has four parts. Each part of the study begins with a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks to allow for completion of screening procedures and subject scheduling. Each participant will be screened by means of medical history, medication review, Gastrointestinal Symptoms Questionnaire (GSQ), physical examination, vital signs, weight, height, laboratory tests, and ECG. The GSQ is being used as a separate safety monitoring tool in this study to ensure that all gastrointestinal complaints are reported by the participant.

Following completion of all screening procedures, eligible participants will be enrolled in the study.

Part 1 of the study in healthy participants will be completed prior to enrollment of any subject in Part 2 of the study. A participant enrolled in Part 1 of the study will participate in one of five dose Cohorts. Enrollment of healthy participants and participants with CeD in each of the five dose Cohorts will occur sequentially, but each of these dose Cohorts will be open to enrollment only after demonstration of the safety and tolerability of the same dose level in healthy participants. A healthy participant enrolled in Part 2 of the study will participate in one of three groups; within Groups 1, 2 and 3 enrollment may occur in parallel. A healthy participant enrolled in Part 3 of the study will participate in one of five groups; within Groups 1 to 5 enrollment will occur sequentially. A healthy participant enrolled in Part 4 of the study will participate in two cohorts; enrollment in Part 4 may occur in parallel with enrollment in Part 3. Each participant will be randomized to one of two possible treatment order. Participants who participate in Part 1 or Part 2 of the study, and who are not ADA positive, may participate in Part 3 or Part 4 of the study. No other participants may participate in more than one Part/Group of the study.
Acoustic rhinometry is a technique that utilizes sound waves to measure nasal patency. The reflections of the waves off of the nasal structures allow one to assess the volume and cross sectional area of the nasal cavity. It is a non-invasive procedure that can be performed in a rapid, convenient, and reliable manner. There is minimal discomfort for the patient and it can be performed easily in the office. There is no distortion of nasal anatomy or functioning as a result of the procedure.

Nasometry is a technique to measure the oral and nasal components of nasalance. Nasalance is an objective measure of the nasal component of speech that is determined by the ratio of acoustic pressures emitted from the nasal and oral cavities. 'Nasality' is the term used to characterize the nasal component of speech, and is a subjective measure.

The Nasometer (Kay Elemetrics Corp Lincoln Park, NJ) is a computer-based device that analyzes acoustic energy that is emitted from the oral and the nasal cavity during speech. It consists of two microphones that are separated by a plate. The upper microphone measures nasally emitted acoustic energy, and the lower microphone measure the acoustic energy emitted from the oral cavity.

Nasalance is an important measure in speech pathology. In situations where velopharyngeal competence is in question, nasometry objectively documents the nasal component of speech as normal, hypemasal or hyponasal. It has been found to be of tremendous benefit in the management of patients with cleft palate and velopharyngeal incompetence. The subject is relaxed, and is fitted with a headgear apparatus. This apparatus is placed such that a plate lies in a horizontal plane that rests midway between the nose and the mouth. There are microphones on the upper and lower surfaces of the plate that capture sound energy produced from the nasal and oral cavities respectively. The subject is then asked to read standard passages. The three most commonly used passages are described here, and will be used in our study. The 'Rainbow' passage is most representative of standard English speech. The 'Zoo' passage has no nasal consonants, and the 'Nasal' passage has the highest number of nasal consonants.

While the subject is reading, the microphone captures sound pressure levels which are emitted from the nasal and the oral cavities. This data is analyzed by the attached computer and presented graphically. The computer also provides a nasalance score for each of three above- mentioned passages. Normative data is available for each of these passages for adults and children. By comparing the data obtained from the subject with the normative means and standard deviations, the investigator can categorize the subject's voice as normal, hyponasal or hypernasal. The nasalance score that is generated can also be used to monitor the efficacy of speech therapy and surgical interventions.
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), including fatal events and renal failure requiring dialysis, has occurred in patients treated with VENCLEXTA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. 

VENCLEXTA can cause rapid reduction in tumor and thus poses a risk for TLS at initiation and during the ramp-up phase in all patients, and during reinitiation after dosage interruption in patients with CLL/SLL. Changes in blood chemistries consistent with TLS that require prompt management can occur as early as 6 to 8 hours following the first dose of VENCLEXTA and at each dose increase. TLS, including fatal cases, has been reported after a single 20 mg dose of VENCLEXTA.

In patients with CLL/SLL who followed the current (5-week) dose ramp-up and the TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures, the rate of TLS was 2% in the VENCLEXTA CLL/SLL monotherapy trials. The rate of TLS remained consistent with VENCLEXTA in combination with obinutuzumab or rituximab. With a 2- to 3-week dose ramp-up and higher starting dose in patients with CLL/SLL, the TLS rate was 13% and included deaths and renal failure [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. 

In patients with AML who followed the current 3-day ramp-up dosing schedule and the TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures, the rate of TLS was 1.1% in patients who received VENCLEXTA in combination with azacitidine (VIALE-A). In patients with AML who followed a 4-day ramp-up dosing schedule and the TLS prophylaxis and monitoring measures, the rate of TLS was 5.6% and included deaths and renal failure in patients who received VENCLEXTA in combination with low-dose cytarabine (VIALE-C) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

The risk of TLS is a continuum based on multiple factors, particularly reduced renal function, tumor burden, and type of malignancy. Splenomegaly may also increase the risk of TLS in patients with CLL/SLL.

Assess all patients for risk and provide appropriate prophylaxis for TLS, including hydration and anti-hyperuricemics. Monitor blood chemistries and manage abnormalities promptly. Employ more intensive measures (intravenous hydration, frequent monitoring, hospitalization) as overall risk increases. Interrupt dosing if needed; when restarting VENCLEXTA, follow dose modification guidance [see Dosage and Administration (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4) and Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].

Concomitant use of VENCLEXTA with P-gp inhibitors or strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors increases venetoclax exposure, which may increase the risk of TLS at initiation and during the ramp-up phase of VENCLEXTA. For patients with CLL/SLL, coadministration of VENCLEXTA with strong CYP3A inhibitors at initiation and during the 5-week ramp-up phase is contraindicated [see Contraindications (4)]. For patients with AML, reduce the dose of VENCLEXTA when coadministered with strong CYP3A inhibitors at initiation and during the 3- or 4-day ramp-up phase. For patients with CLL/SLL or AML, reduce the dose of VENCLEXTA when coadministered with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or P-gp inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) and Drug Interactions (7.1)].
Baseline MRI's will enable personalization of tDCS via current flow modeling and optimized to each participant with the goal of generating an average nE over the dlPFC of the same size as the one delivered by a traditional montage using sponges in an average subject at 1.5 mA of current. The direct current delivered by any one electrode will however never exceed 2.0 mA; the total amount of current from all electrodes will not exceed 4 mA. Each 20- minute session will begin and end with a 60-second ramp up/down of current amplitude to maximize comfort.
PURPOSE: The patient-reported outcomes (PROs) measuring patient's experience and perception of disease are important components of approach to care. However, no tools are available to assess the PROs of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aims to develop and verify a PROs scale to evaluate clinical outcomes in CKD patients.
METHODS: The theoretical structure model and original item pool were formed through a literature review, patient interviews and references to relevant scales. The Delphi method, classical test theory methods and item response theory method were used to select items and adjust dimensions to form the final scale. Altogether 360 CKD patients were recruited through convenience sampling. CKD-PROs could be evaluated from four aspects, namely reliability, content validity, construct validity, responsibility, and feasibility.
RESULTS: The CKD-PROs scale covers 4 domains, including the physiological, psychological, social, and therapeutic domain, and 12 dimensions, 54 items. The Cronbach's α is 0.939, the split reliability coefficient is 0.945, and the correlation of the scores each item and domain's coefficients range from 0.413 to 0.669. The results of structure validity, content validity and reactivity showed that the multidimensional measurement of the scale met professional expectations. The recovery rate and effective rate of the scale were over 99%.
CONCLUSION: The CKD-PROs scale has great reliability, validity, reactivity, acceptability and is capable of being used as one of the evaluation tools for the clinical outcomes of CKD patients.
Spermidine exerts protective roles in obesity, while the mechanism of spermidine in adipose tissue thermogenesis remains unclear. The present study first investigated the effect of spermidine on cold-stimulation and β3-adrenoceptor agonist-induced thermogenesis in lean and high-fat diet-induced obese mice. Next, the role of spermidine on glucose and lipid metabolism in different types of adipose tissue was determined. Here, we found that spermidine supplementation did not affect cold-stimulated thermogenesis in lean mice, while significantly promoting the activation of adipose tissue thermogenesis under cold stimulation and β3-adrenergic receptor agonist treatment in obese mice. Spermidine treatment markedly enhanced glucose and lipid metabolism in adipose tissues, and these results were associated with the activated autophagy pathway. Moreover, spermidine up-regulated fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) signaling and its downstream pathway, including PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathways in vivo and in vitro. Knockdown of Fgf21 or inhibition of PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathways in brown adipocytes abolished the thermogenesis-promoting effect of spermidine, suggesting that the effect of spermidine on adipose tissue thermogenesis might be regulated by FGF21 signaling via the PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathways. The present study provides new insight into the mechanism of spermidine on obesity and its metabolic complications, thereby laying a theoretical basis for the clinical application of spermidine.
Drugs that interfere with serotonin reuptake inhibition, including duloxetine delayed-release capsules, may increase the risk of bleeding events. Case reports and epidemiological studies (case-control and cohort design) have demonstrated an association between use of drugs that interfere with serotonin reuptake and the occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding. A post-marketing study showed a higher incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in mothers taking duloxetine. Other bleeding events related to SSRI and SNRI use have ranged from ecchymoses, hematomas, epistaxis, and petechiae to life-threatening hemorrhages. Concomitant use of aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), warfarin, and other anti-coagulants may add to this risk.

Inform patients about the risk of bleeding associated with the concomitant use of duloxetine delayed-release capsules and NSAIDs, aspirin, or other drugs that affect coagulation [see Drug Interactions (7.4)] .

BACKGROUND: The utilization patterns of opioid analgesics and the proportion of long-term opioid use after surgery in Norway is largely unknown.
METHODS: This study aimed to estimate the proportion of one-year long-term prescription opioid use among all Norwegian postoperative opioid users. Complete data from central health registries (NPR, NorPD, Statistics Norway, CoDR) were linked via the personal identification number unique to all citizens. The study period was January 1st 2010 until December 31st 2019. Long-term opioid use was defined as at least two opioid dispensings within two subsequent 90-day periods, with a minimum average use of 10 MME/day for the first 90 days.
RESULTS: The study population consisted of 693 495 post-operative opioid users (53.6% women), whereof 73.2% had not used opioids the year before surgery (new users). Among the postoperative opioid users, 3.8% were one-year long-term opioid users. The corresponding figures for new and previous opioid users were 0.4% and 13.1%, respectively. The highest proportions of long-term opioid use were found after transluminal endoscopy, eye surgery and assessments related to surgical procedures. In previous opioid users, the proportion of one-year long-term use was higher among women than men in all age groups, a difference that increased with age.
CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of postoperative long-term opioid use in Norway is generally low. We detected higher proportions of long-term opioid use after certain types of surgery, but our crude surgery definition warrants further examination. Previous opioid users pose a particular challenge in the management of postoperative pain.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study used national health registry data from the period 2010-2019. A pre-registered analysis plan is available at Open Science Framework.
