PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the interplay among metabolic dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis in Fabry disease, focusing on their potential implications for cardiac involvement. We aim to discuss the biochemical processes that operate in parallel to sphingolipid accumulation and contribute to disease pathogenesis, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive understanding of these processes.
RECENT FINDINGS: Beyond sphingolipid accumulation, emerging studies have revealed that mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation could be significant contributors to Fabry disease and cardiac involvement. These factors promote cardiac remodeling and fibrosis and may predispose Fabry patients to conduction disturbances, ventricular arrhythmias, and heart failure. While current treatments, such as enzyme replacement therapy and pharmacological chaperones, address disease progression and symptoms, their effectiveness is limited. Our review uncovers the potential relationships among metabolic disturbances, oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis in Fabry disease-related cardiac complications. Current findings suggest that beyond sphingolipid accumulation, other mechanisms may significantly contribute to disease pathogenesis. This prompts the exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies and underscores the importance of a holistic approach to understanding and managing Fabry disease.

The histomorphological features predictive of p16 and human papilloma virus (HPV DNA) positivity in oropharyngeal carcinoma have been a matter of much debate. However, only few studies have been done on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) to correlate the histomorphological features with p16 and HPV DNA positivity. Oral squamous cell carcinoma has distinct etiopathogenesis, treatment and prognosis as compared to oropharyngeal carcinomas. A total of 800 oral squamous cell carcinoma biopsy cases were evaluated for features suggestive of HPV infection like basaloid appearance, absence of stromal reaction, nests and lobules of tumor cells with pushing borders, central necrosis, lympho-epithelial morphology, koilocytes, and non-keratinizing or hybrid morphology. Immunohistochemistry was performed for p16 expression (E6H4 clone, CINtec histology, Roche diagnostics). The cases which showed 2+/3+ (from moderate to high intensity) staining with >75 % cells were considered as p16 immunopositive. All the p16 immunopositive cases were subjected to real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for HPV DNA detection to confirm HPV positivity. A total of 139 (17.37 %) OSCC cases were p16 immunopositive and out of these 104 (104/139, 74.8 %) cases showed HPV-DNA PCR positivity. None of the features were found to be predictive on multivariate logistic regression analysis. However, on bivariable analysis, nest/lobule with pushing border was the only histopathological feature which had a significant correlation with p16 immunopositivity (P value = 0.0001) and p16 and HPV DNA copositivity (P value = 0.0001). (Fisher's exact test -two tailed). To conclude-morphology is not really predictive of HPV positivity in OSCC cases. Only one feature- nests and lobule with pushing border is suggestive on bivariable analysis.

Giving rose-toned flowery, fruity, grassy and woody persistent fragrance. The other objective perfume composition can be prepared by using either the present indane derivative singly or its combination with conventional perfume component(s). This composition can be used as a fragrance-imparting material for liquid scents, soaps, shampoos, indoor aromatic agents, detergents. etc. PREPARATION:For example, 1,1-dimethyl-6-hydroxymethylindane of formula II is reacted with a carboxylic acid of formula III or its reactive derivative in the presence or absence of a solvent to obtain the objective compound of the formula I. For this reaction, a catalyst may be used, if needed.
PURPOSE: The correlation between body weight and health is a significant public health concern. While the adverse effects of obesity on pulmonary function are well-known, the impact of being underweight remains debated due to limited research. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) categories and lung function parameters.
RESULTS: A study of 3077 participants found significant differences in gender, age, height, and weight across various Body Mass Index (BMI) categories. The study found non-significant variations in forced expiratory flow (FVC) across BMI categories, with underweight individuals showing lower FVC compared to normal and overweight individuals. BMI significantly impacted mean forced expiratory flow during the middle half of FVC. A significant negative correlation was observed between age and FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio, and FEF25-75. A significant positive correlation was observed between weight, height, and lung function parameters. Multiple regression analysis revealed a decrease in lung function with advancing age, while height showed significant positive associations. The study concluded that age, sex, smoking, height, and weight collectively explained 41.0% of the variance in FVC, FEV, and FEF25-75.

Furthermore, the BUF-3 is obtained by cultivating malignant monocytic cells in the presence of at least one or two or more differentiation inducers (e.g. actinomycin D).
Dysmenorrhea is a gynecological condition that negatively affects the lives of more than half of women during menstruation. The severity of dysmenorrhea can be mild, moderate or high. Dysmenorrhea negatively affects women's social relations, daily lives, business lives, academic achievements and quality of life. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are used in its treatment. Among the non-pharmacological methods used in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, methods such as aromatherapy, yoga, massage, regular exercise, acupuncture, acupressure, TENS and cognitive behavioral therapy have been used. Mindfulness, one of the cognitive behavioral treatment methods, reduces stress, anxiety and depression in women. The aim of this project is to determine the effect of mindfulness practice to cope with dysmenorrhea on pain and anxiety levels. The project will be carried out in a semi-randomized controlled manner. It will be applied to 100 students with dysmenorrhea (100 students by increasing by 10%, taking into account the losses that may occur in the 90 students determined in the sample calculation). Students who meet the inclusion criteria and approve of participating in the project will be given a pre-test before the application. 'Introductory Information Form', 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the pre-test. After the pre-test, mindfulness practice will be applied for 8 weeks (1 day/120 minutes per week). At the end of 8 weeks, an intermediate test will be performed in the first 3 days of the first menstrual cycle. After the mid-term test, students will practice mindfulness on their own with the brochures provided. Motivational messages will be sent to students for mindfulness practice, starting 3 days before their cycle. The final test will be administered 3 months after the intermediate test. 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the mid-test and post-test.
Intravenous infusion(biosimilar infliximab). Each participant will be given 4 infusions, at day 0, day 14, day 42 and day 98, unless unacceptable toxicity is encountered.
Alfuzosin hydrochloride extended release tablets are not indicated for use in the pediatric population.

Efficacy of alfuzosin hydrochloride was not demonstrated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, efficacy and safety trial conducted in 172 patients ages 2 to 16 years with elevated detrusor leak point pressure (LPP ≥ 40 cm H O) of neurologic origin treated with alfuzosin hydrochloride using pediatric formulations. The trial included a 12-week efficacy phase followed by a 40-week safety extension period. No statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients achieving a detrusor leak point pressure of < 40 cm H 0 was observed between the alfuzosin and placebo groups.

During the placebo-controlled trial, the adverse reactions reported in ≥ 2% of patients treated with alfuzosin and at a higher incidence than in the placebo group were: pyrexia, headache, respiratory tract infection, cough, epistaxis and diarrhea. The adverse reactions reported for the whole 12-month trial period, which included the open-label extension, were similar in type and frequency to the reactions observed during the 12-week period.

Alfuzosin hydrochloride was not studied in patients below the age of 2.
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic, autoimmune, multisystemic disorder caused by ingestion of gluten contained in wheat. A chronic gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only therapy for CD, however a small subgroup of patients is refractory to a GFD, in fact the pathology does not regress even with a strict diet. The microbiota plays a fundamental role in the CD, in fact, especially intestinal homeostasis requires balanced interactions between the microbiota, food antigens and the host. It is widely recognized that intestinal microbiota plays a role in the initiation and progression of intestinal inflammation in numerous chronic conditions, but recent studies have shown that even the blood microbiota plays a fundamental role in autoimmune diseases. Also microRNAs (miRNAs), RNA sequences of 20-22 non-coding nucleotides that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression, are molecules of interest in many common diseases and therefore also in CD. Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyol (FODMAP) are short-chain carbohydrates with poor absorption in the small intestine which increases gas production and intestinal osmolarity, which can trigger gastrointestinal symptoms in sensitive individuals. A diet low in FODMAPs is a new dietary option for the treatment of persistent gastrointestinal symptoms in celiac patients. Evaluating the effect of this type of diet on intestinal microbiota changes and miRNA expression in celiac patients with persistent gastroenterological symptoms and in patients with refractory celiac disease represents an opportunity to understand how this dietary modification could contribute to the development of this disease.

15 patients with refractory celiac disease (RCD) and 15 patients with CD responsive to the GFD between the ages of 21 and 60 will be enrolled. The aim of the research will be: 1) to characterize the intestinal, blood and duodenal microbiota, then to evaluate both the taxonomy of the identified bacteria and their relative abundance 2) to analyse the profile of miRNAs from biopsy and fibroblasts isolated in the first duodenal portion, highlighting any basal deregulation and, for fibroblasts, after treatment with the 33-mer immunogenic peptide 3) quantify and know the composition of the fecal microbiota in celiac patients with persistent symptoms and in refractory celiac patients before (T0) and after (T28) treatment with a low-FODMAP diet. The aim of the study is to observe a diversification of the microbiota pattern of refractory patients vs. normoresponsive celiac patients and to observe a deregulation in the expression of miRNAs, both basally on biopsies and after treatment with the immunogenic peptide in primary fibroblast cultures.
The present inventors developed hepatitis C virus la/2a and lb/2a intergenotypic recombinants in which the JFHl structural genes (Core, El and E2), p7 and NS2 were replaced by the corresponding genes of the genotype Ia reference strain H77C or TN or the corresponding genes of the genotype Ib reference strain J4. Sequence analysis of recovered la/2a and lb/2a recombinants from 2 serial passages and subsequent reverse genetic studies revealed adaptive mutations in e.g. p7, NS2 and/or NS3. In addition, the inventors demonstrate the possibility of using adaptive mutations identified for one HCV isolate in generating efficient cell culture systems for other isolates by transfer of mutations across isolates, subtypes or major genotypes. Furthermore neutralization studies showed that viruses of e.g. genotype 1 were efficiently neutralized by genotype Ia, 4a and 5a serum, an effect that could be utilized e.g. in vaccine development and immunological prophylaxis. The inventors in addition demonstrate the use of the developed systems for screening of antiviral substances in vitro and functional studies of the virus, e.g. identification of receptors required for HCV entry,

Postoperative ileus (also known as paralytic ileus) is defined as a temporary cessation of gastrointestinal peristalsis. This complication occurs mainly following gastrointestinal surgery. It can be noted that postoperative ileus also occurs postoperatively after pelvic and extra-abdominal surgery with a lower incidence. The incidence of ileus varies depending on the cohorts, however the rate of occurrence can be up to 20% post-operative colorectal surgery.The main principles of treatment are the fasting of the patient and the introduction of a nasogastric tube to ensure gastric emptying in order to prevent complications of vomiting such as bronchial aspiration. This pathological phenomenon is frequent and significantly lengthens the duration of hospitalization and postoperative morbidity and mortality. The duration of hospitalization is the only objective and reproducible criterion in the evaluation of ileus. One of the problems of postoperative ileus is first of all its evaluation and the implementation of a reproducible definition. A recent consensus conference of the American Society for Engaged Recovery and Perioperative Quality Initiative proposed a return definition of transit based on an IFEED (Intake-Feeling Nauseated-Emesis-Physical Exam-Duration of Symptoms) clinical score. However, this score has never been evaluated prospectively in a cohort of patients operated on for pathologies of the digestive tract. This is a descriptive, diagnostic, prospective, monocentric study. We will include patients entering our care sector for a gastrointestinal surgery. We will follow patient from the surgery to the end of their hospital stay.
PURPOSE: To obtain a bathing agent excellent in activation of skin, moisture retention effect and fractionating action on a water molecule mass, containing a liquid calcium phosphate-based compound. CONSTITUTION: This bathing agent contains 0.01-95wt.%, preferably 1-30wt.% of a liquid calcium phosphate-based compound as an active ingredient. The liquid calcium phosphate-based compound is a liquid prepared by fermenting and aging a ground mixture comprising 1-80 pts.wt. of the total of a calcium phosphate-based compound (e.g. hydroxyapatite) having a ratio of Ca/P of 1.0-2.0 and eggshell and 10-50 pts.wt. of starch (e.g. potato starch) and/or grain flour (e.g. rice flour). The liquid is mixed with one or more of an alkali metal salt (e.g. sodium hydrogen carbonate) of an inorganic acid, a crude medicine component, a humectant and a skin protecting agent and pharmaceutically manufactured.  When this bathing agent is used, a water molecule mass is fractionated, skin is provided with a soft feeling in bathing, calcium ion together with water is absorbed from skin and skin cells are activated and moisture retention and heat retaining properties are raised.

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic relapsing disorder with long-lasting changes in brain intrinsic networks. While most research to date has focused on static functional connectivity, less is known about the effect of chronic drug use on dynamics of brain networks. Here we investigated brain state dynamics in individuals with opioid use (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) and assessed how concomitant nicotine use, which is frequent among individuals with OUD and AUD, affects brain dynamics. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data of 27 OUD, 107 AUD, and 137 healthy participants were included in the analyses. To identify recurrent brain states and their dynamics, we applied a data-driven clustering approach that determines brain states at a single time frame. We found that OUD and AUD non-smokers displayed similar changes in brain state dynamics including decreased fractional occupancy or dwell time in default mode network (DMN)-dominated brain states and increased appearance rate in visual network (VIS)-dominated brain states, which were also reflected in transition probabilities of related brain states. Interestingly, co-use of nicotine affected brain states in an opposite manner by lowering VIS-dominated and enhancing DMN-dominated brain states in both OUD and AUD participants. Our finding revealed a similar pattern of brain state dynamics in OUD and AUD participants that differed from controls, with an opposite effect for nicotine use suggesting distinct effects of various drugs on brain state dynamics. Different strategies for treating SUD may need to be implemented based on patterns of co-morbid drug use.

Following myocardial infarction (MI), blood neutrophils quickly and extensively infiltrate the heart, where they are temporally polarized into pro-inflammatory (N1) and anti-inflammatory (N2) subpopulations. Neutrophil transmigration is rapidly followed by the accrual of macrophages (MACs), which are believed to undergo local phenotypic transformations from pro-inflammatory to pro-healing MACs that mediate inflammation resolution. We hypothesized that N2 neutrophils can reprogram MACs toward a healing phenotype with increased efferocytosis capacity. To examine this, human neutrophils isolated from healthy subjects were polarized in N1 and N2 neutrophils, and their secretome was added to human MACs derived from THP monocytes. The impact of neutrophil factors on macrophages was investigated using qPCR, ELISA, Western blot, immunofluorescence, or an efferocytosis assay. The results show that the MACs exposed to N2 neutrophil secretome exhibited (i) increased expression of the anti-inflammatory molecules CD206, TGF-β, and IL-10 and the nuclear factors associated with reparatory macrophages (PPARγ, Nur77, and KLF4); (ii) enhanced expression of efferocytosis receptors (MerTK, CD36, CX3CR1, and integrins αv/β5) and of the bridge molecules Mfage8 and Gas6; and (iii) enhanced efferocytosis. In conclusion, factors released by N2 neutrophils induce a pro-healing phenotype of MACs by upregulating anti-inflammatory molecules and efferocytosis receptors and ensuing the efferocytosis capacity. The data suggest that molecular therapy to foster N2 polarization, which boosts macrophages' pro-healing phenotype, could be a promising strategy to speed up inflammation resolution and tissue repair.
