Recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) lymph nodes are the most common metastatic areas in esophageal squamous carcinoma. It is a clinical challenge to reduce high incidence of RLN injury rate result from routine dissection of RLN lymph nodes. Thoracoscopic approach may provide a clear operative field and potentially less invasive surgery. But there are still high RLN injury rate only depending on visualization of thoracoscopy. The use of intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) was shown very helpful to identify the RLN and associated with a reduction of RLN injury rate in thyroidectomy. However, there is no solid clinical evidence about the effectiveness of utility of IONM in thoracoscopic esophagectomy. Thus, the aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the impact of RLN visualization versus IONM on their morbidity following thoracoscopic esophagectomy.

Epileptic spasms (ES) are a highly prevalent and often refractory form of seizures in genetic Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs), affecting 55% of patients. Prevalence is higher in subsets such as CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (82%). Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome can be associated with developmental regression, and early and effective treatment of ES impacts developmental outcomes. Diagnosis of ES, made by a combination of clinical history and EEG, can be delayed if ES are subtle or mixed with other seizure patterns. Clinical experience and the literature support use of the ketogenic diet for refractory epilepsy in infancy, including ES, particularly for some established genetic diagnoses. Further, there is precedent for preventing seizures, including ES, in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex with vigabatrin. The hypothesis of this investigation is that treatment of infants with genetic DEEs with the ketogenic diet will prevent the development of ES, or, if ES do develop, improve treatment response to standard therapy. The focused goal of this proposal is to demonstrate feasibility of initiating and maintaining ketogenic diet in infants with genetic DEEs, with serial EEG monitoring. This trial is a prospective, open-label treatment with ketogenic diet (goal ratio 4:1) in 10 infants with genetic DEE (seizure onset \<6 months). The trial will evaluate adherence to ketogenic diet, starting within 4 weeks of enrollment, with a primary endpoint of maintaining a minimum ratio of 1:1 through 3 months after ES onset (12 months of age if they do not develop ES). The trial will evaluate adherence to EEG testing every 6 weeks. This work will lay the foundation for a multi-center Phase 2 trial.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the regulatory role and underlying mechanisms of circRNA_001373 in the hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of circRNA_001373, miR-142a-5p and Becn1. The viability of JS-1 cells was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8. The targeting relationship between miR-142a-5p and CircRNA_001373, as well as between miR-142a-5p and Becn1 was predicted using CircInteractome and TargetScan databases, respectively, and validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Western blot was utilized to determine the expression levels of proteins related to autophagy and the activation if HSCs in JS-1 cells. After activation by platelet-derived growth factor-BB, an increase was observed in the expression of collagen I and α-smooth muscle actin proteins. The expression of CircRNA_001373 was up-regulated in the activated HSCs. Knockdown of CircRNA_001373 significantly inhibited cell viability and activation of JS-1 cells, as well as autophagy in the activated HSCs. CircRNA_001373 could sponge miR-142a-5p in the activated HSCs, which in turn elevated the Becn1 expression. Concurrent knockdown of both CircRNA_001373 and miR-142a-5p reversed the inhibitory effects of the knockdown of CircRNA_001373 alone on cell viability and autophagy in activated JS-1 cells. CircRNA_ 001373 promotes cell viability and autophagy as well as the activation of JS-1 cells by regulating the miR-142a-5p/Becn1 axis.
During pulpotomy treatment, a blood sample was taken from the coronal pulp and stored. The remaining pulp tissue was covered with Biodentine, randomly selected from among four material groups. The teeth treated with Biodentine were monitored for 12 months. Subsequently, the levels of IL-6, IL-8, and Presepsin in the blood were measured using the ELISA method and noted in ng/ml. Thus, the effect of the material used on the success of the treatment was determined based on the level of pulpal inflammation before treatment.

Body odors convey information about the individuals, but the mechanisms are not fully understood yet. As far as human reproduction is concerned, molecules that are produced in sexually dimorphic amounts could be possible chemosignals. 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid (HMHA) is one of them-more typical of men. Here, we investigated the possibility that the perception of gender and attractiveness in human faces could be implicitly influenced by this compound. Clearly feminine, ambiguous and clearly masculine faces were primed with an odor of HMHA, a control odor or air. Based on 100-ms face presentation, 40 raters had to identify the face's gender as quickly as possible and provide attractiveness evaluations. 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid tended to be perceived as less pleasant and induced lower sniff duration in women compared with men. As to the effects of HMHA on face perception (vs. control conditions), we found that gender identification and the associated response time were unaffected by HMHA. Attractiveness of the faces, however, increased in presence of HMHA, but not in a sex-specific manner and only for unattractive faces with ambiguous gender. In sum, this study found no evidence in favor of a possible role of this sexually dimorphic compound in intrasexual competition nor in intersexual attraction.

BACKGROUND: Although non-human primates are the closest animals to humans to simulate physiological and metabolic responses, there is a paucity of primate hemorrhagic shock models that are standardized and reproducible. Herein, we describe a model that is a clinical replica of extreme class IV hemorrhagic shock with a step-by-step description of the procedure in cynomolgus macaque monkeys.
METHODS: The physiological changes that occurred during the process were evaluated using hemodynamic parameters, echocardiogram, and laboratory values. Five female monkeys were subjected to trauma laparotomy, followed by cannulation of the abdominal aorta to achieve graded hemorrhage. A central line was placed in the right internal jugular vein, which was subsequently used for laboratory sampling and volume resuscitation. The withdrawal of blood was ceased when a predefined cardiac endpoint with cardiac arrhythmia or bradycardia was reached. The animals were then immediately resuscitated with transfusion. The primary cardiac endpoint was consistently reached in all 5 animals during the fourth hemorrhage when more than 70% of the estimated total blood volume was lost.
RESULTS: No mortality occurred during the process. The blood pressure, cardiac output measured from an echocardiogram, and hemoglobin correlated well with increasing loss of circulating volume, whereas the pulse pressure variation did not. The echocardiogram was also a useful predictor for urgent volume replacement.
CONCLUSION: This model offers a safe and reproducible surgical hemorrhagic model in non-human primates and simulates clinical practice. This could provide a useful platform on which further studies can be carried out to address unanswered questions in trauma management.

We examined respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and possible interaction with respiratory frequency (fR) and heart rate (HR) in spontaneously breathing, unanesthetized newborn Wistar rats (2- to 5-day-old; n = 54) and the adult rats (8-week-old; n = 34). Instantaneous heart rate (inst-HR) was calculated as the reciprocal of the inter-beat-interval. For each breath, RSA was determined as the difference between the maximum and minimum inst-HR value. The absolute RSA or RSA% (RSA per HR) were calculated as the average RSA of 10 consecutive breaths. RSA (or RSA%) in the newborn rats was significantly lower than that in the adult rats. Correlation coefficient between RSA (or RSA%) and 1/fR or HR/fR, but not HR, was significant in newborn rats, whereas only that between RSA (or RSA%) and HR was significant in adult rats. The power spectrum density of heartbeat fluctuation was detectable in both age groups. The present findings suggest that RSA exists and could be influenced by fR, rather than HR, in newborn rats.
To investigate the associations of serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its subtypes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Jiangsu Province. Methods: The participants were enrolled in the Comprehensive Research project regarding 'Prevention and Control of Diabetes' in Jiangsu Province. The baseline survey was conducted from 2013 to 2014, and follow-up until December 31, 2021. After excluding the participants who self-reported with chronic liver disease/stroke/coronary heart disease at baseline survey and those with incomplete information on GGT, a total of 16 147 T2DM patients were included in the final analysis. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and their 95%CI of GGT for CVD, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Restricted cubic spline models were applied to analyze the dose-response relationship between GGT and the risk of CVD and its subtypes. Results: During the median follow-up time of 8.02 years, 2 860 CVD cases were registered, including 196 cases of myocardial infarction and 2 730 cases of stroke. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model indicated that compared to the lowest serum GGT level group, the highest GGT level group had a 24% increased risk of CVD (HR=1.24, 95%CI: 1.09-1.41) and a 23% increased risk of stroke (HR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.08-1.40). The restricted cubic spline model showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship between GGT and the risk of CVD, myocardial infarction, and stroke in T2DM patients. Conclusions: High levels of GGT may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in T2DM patients, which needs further exploration and validation in future clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Visceral adipose tissue plays an active role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and vascular dysfunction. The lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and Chinese VAI (CVAI) have been proposed as simple and validated surrogate indices for measuring visceral adipose tissue. However, the evidence from prospective studies on the associations between these novel indices of visceral obesity and diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains scant.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal associations of LAP, VAI, and CVAI with incident DR in Chinese patients with diabetes.
METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study conducted in Guangzhou in southern China. We collected baseline data between November 2017 and July 2020, while on-site follow-up visits were conducted annually until January 2022. The study participants consisted of 1403 patients with a clinical diagnosis of diabetes, referred from primary care, who were free of DR at baseline. The LAP, VAI, and CVAI levels were calculated by sex-specific equations based on anthropometric and biochemical parameters. DR was assessed using 7-field color stereoscopic fundus photographs and graded according to the modified Airlie House Classification scheme. Time-dependent Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to estimate the hazard ratios with 95% CIs. Restricted cubic spline curves were fitted to examine the dose-response relationship between the 3 indices of visceral obesity and new-onset DR. Subgroup analyses were performed to investigate the potential effect modifiers.
RESULTS: The mean age of study participants was 64.5 (SD 7.6) years, and over half (816/1403, 58.2%) were female. During a median follow-up of 2.13 years, 406 DR events were observed. A 1-SD increment in LAP, VAI, or CVAI was consistently associated with increased risk for new-onset DR, with a multivariable‑adjusted hazard ratio of 1.24 (95% CI 1.09-1.41; P=.001), 1.22 (95% CI 1.09-1.36; P<.001), and 1.48 (95% CI 1.19-1.85; P=.001), respectively. Similar patterns were observed across tertiles in LAP (P for trend=.001), VAI (P for trend<.001), and CVAI (P for trend=.009). Patients in the highest tertile of LAP, VAI, and CVAI had an 84%, 86%, and 82% higher hazard of DR, respectively, compared to those in the lowest tertile. A nonlinear dose-response relationship with incident DR was noted for LAP and VAI (both P for nonlinearity<.05), but not for CVAI (P for nonlinearity=.51). We did not detect the presence of effect modification by age, sex, duration of diabetes, BMI, or comorbidity (all P for interaction>.10).
CONCLUSIONS: Visceral obesity, as measured by LAP, VAI, or CVAI, is independently associated with increased risk for new-onset DR in Chinese patients with diabetes. Our findings may suggest the necessity of incorporating regular monitoring of visceral obesity indices into routine clinical practice to enhance population-based prevention for DR.
