The rust resistance genes Lr53 and Yr35 were introgressed into bread wheat from Aegilops longissima or Aegilops sharonensis or their S-genome containing species and mapped to the telomeric region of chromosome arm 6BS. Wheat leaf and stripe rusts are damaging fungal diseases of wheat worldwide. Breeding for resistance is a sustainable approach to control these two foliar diseases. In this study, we used SNP analysis, sequence comparisons, and cytogenetic assays to determine that the chromosomal segment carrying Lr53 and Yr35 was originated from Ae.longissima or Ae. sharonensis or their derived species. In seedling tests, Lr53 conferred strong resistance against all five Chinese Pt races tested, and Yr35 showed effectiveness against Pst race CYR34 but susceptibility to race CYR32. Using a large population (3892 recombinant gametes) derived from plants homozygous for the ph1b mutation obtained from the cross 98M71 × CSph1b, both Lr53 and Yr35 were successfully mapped to a 6.03-Mb telomeric region of chromosome arm 6BS in the Chinese Spring reference genome v1.1. Co-segregation between Lr53 and Yr35 was observed within this large mapping population. Within the candidate region, several nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat genes and protein kinases were identified as candidate genes. Marker pku6B3127 was completely linked to both genes and accurately predicted the absence or presence of alien segment harboring Lr53 and Yr35 in 87 tetraploid and 149 hexaploid wheat genotypes tested. We developed a line with a smaller alien segment (< 6.03 Mb) to reduce any potential linkage drag and demonstrated that it conferred resistance levels similar to those of the original donor parent 98M71. The newly developed introgression line and closely linked PCR markers will accelerate the deployment of Lr53 and Yr35 in wheat breeding programs.
BACKGROUND: Home-based self-sampling may be a viable option for anal cancer screening among sexual minority men (SMM). Yet limited research has compared home-based self-collected with clinician-collected anal swabs for human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping.
METHODS: The Prevent Anal Cancer Self-Swab Study recruited SMM and transgender persons 25 years and over in Milwaukee, WI to participate in an anal cancer screening study. Participants were randomized to a home or clinic arm. Home-based participants were mailed an anal self-sampling kit to complete and return via postal mail. They were also asked to attend a clinic appointment where a clinician collected an anal swab. Swabs were HPV-genotyped using the SPF 10 -LiPA 25 assay. We analyzed 79 paired self and clinician swabs to determine HPV prevalence, percent agreement, and sensitivity and specificity of the mailed home-based anal self-swab to detect HPV genotypes using the clinician-collected swab as the reference.
RESULTS: The median number of days between the home and clinic swab was 19 days (range = 2 to 70). Human papillomavirus was detected in 73.3% of self and 75.0% of clinician anal swabs ( P = 0.99). Prevalence of any HPV, any high-risk HPV, any low-risk HPV, and individual HPV types did not significantly differ between self and clinician anal swabs. Agreement between self and clinician swabs was over 90% for 21 of the 25 HPV genotypes. Mailed home-based self-collected swabs had a sensitivity of 94.1% (95% confidence interval, 82.9-99.0) for detection of high-risk HPV versus clinician-collected sampling.
CONCLUSIONS: Mailed home-based self-collected and clinician-collected anal swabs demonstrated high concordance for HPV genotyping.
Enrollment will follow a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation design. Sequential Cohorts of patients will be dosed until the MTD or unacceptable toxicity is reached. Up to 12 additional patients in total may be included at selected dose levels (up to 3).
To investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous blood purification (CBP) in neonates with septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI). This retrospective study was conducted at two tertiary care children's hospitals between January 2015 and May 2022. A total of 26 neonates with septic shock and AKI were included in this study, with a mortality rate of 50%. Fourteen neonates (53.8%) received continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration, and 12 (46.2%) received continuous veno-venous hemofiltration. Compared with the indices before CBP, urine output increased 12 h after CBP initiation (P = 0.003) and serum creatinine decreased (P = 0.019). After 24 h of CBP, blood urea nitrogen had decreased (P = 0.006) and mean arterial pressure had increased (P = 0.007). At the end of CBP, the vasoactive-inotropic score and blood lactate were decreased (P = 0.035 and 0.038, respectively) and PH was increased (P = 0.015). Thrombocytopenia was the most common complication of CBP.  Conclusion: CBP can efficiently maintain hemodynamic stability, improve renal function, and has good safety in neonates with septic shock and AKI. However, the mortality rate remains high, and whether CBP improves the prognosis of neonates with septic shock and AKI remains unclear. What is Known: • Over 50% of children with septic shock have severe AKI, of which 21.6% required CBP. • The clinical application of CBP in septic shock has attracted increasing attention. What is New: • CBP can efficiently maintain hemodynamic stability, improve renal function, and has good safety in neonates with septic shock and AKI. • The mortality rate in neonates with septic shock and AKI receiving CBP remains high.
In addition to standard pharmacological treatment, this group would receive a diet comprising of 35-40 kcal. The total distribution of the calories would be as 55-60% from carbohydrates, 20% from protein and 30% from fat, a fixed amount of 50g of oil would be given and the remaining amount of fat would be met by the invisible dietary fat. The source of visible dietary fat would be refined soyabean oil. This group would not receive any fat in the form of Desi ghee or butter or any nutritional supplement other than the prescribed diet. The diet would be explained to the patient by individual diet charts.
Osteoporosis (OP) is a severe global health issue that has significant implications for productivity and human lifespan. Gut microbiota dysbiosis has been demonstrated to be closely associated with OP progression. Melatonin (MLT) is an important endogenous hormone that modulates bone metabolism, maintains bone homeostasis, and improves OP progression. Multiple studies indicated that MLT participates in the regulation of intestinal microbiota and gut barrier function. However, the promising effects of gut microbiota-derived MLT in OP remain unclear. Here, we found that OP resulted in intestinal tryptophan disorder and decreased the production of gut microbiota-derived MLT, while administration with MLT could mitigate OP-related clinical symptoms and reverse gut microbiota dysbiosis, including the diversity of intestinal microbiota, the relative abundance of many probiotics such as Allobaculum and Parasutterella, and metabolic function of intestinal flora such as amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and energy metabolism. Notably, MLT significantly increased the production of short-chain fatty acids and decreased trimethylamine N-oxide-related metabolites. Importantly, MLT could modulate the dynamic balance of M1/M2 macrophages, reduce the serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and restore gut-barrier function. Taken together, our results highlighted the important roles of gut microbially derived MLT in OP progression via the "gut-bone" axis associated with SCFA metabolism, which may provide novel insight into the development of MLT as a promising drug for treating OP.
Ischemic stroke is the main cause of death and disability, and microglia play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of hypoxic ischemic brain injury. We found that SENP3 is highly expressed in the early stages of ischemic stroke in both in vivo and in vitro mouse models, and may be related to the deSUMOylation of the key kinase MKK7 in the TLR4/p-JNK signaling pathway. Knocking down SENP3 can inhibit the deSUMOylation of MKK7, thereby inhibiting the activation of the TLR4/p-JNK signaling pathway in an in vitro stroke model. Proteomic analysis showed that SENP3 undergoes phosphorylation at the T429 site after ischemic stroke. Computer simulation predictions show a significant enhancement of the interaction between pT429-SENP3 and MKK7, which has been confirmed through experiments on the interaction of biological macromolecules (SPR). The mitochondrial metabolic abnormalities caused by energy abnormalities in the early stages of stroke provide a good explanation for the phosphorylation of SENP3. Therefore, we used the mitochondrial complex inhibitor TTFA to reverse demonstrate that the phosphorylation of SENP3 comes from the large amount of adenosine triphosphate produced by mitochondrial abnormal metabolism caused by early oxygen glucose deficiency. Finally, proteomic analysis indicates that a significant amount of oxidative phosphorylation does occur in the early stages of stroke. In summary, targeted regulation of SENP3 phosphorylation to affect the deSUMOylation of MKK7 may inhibit secondary inflammation in ischemic stroke.

The CD169 high affinity anti-tumor compound provided by the disclosure is effective for a variety of tumors and has an inhibitory effect on tumor metastasis. In addition, the CD169 high affinity anti-tumor compound provided by the disclosure can not only be injected but also be orally administered. Cytotoxicity and animal toxicity of the CD169 high affinity anti-tumor compound are very low.
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility problems are very common in the general population. Dysphagia, difficulty swallowing, is one of the most common issues in gastroenterology. In many patients, esophageal obstruction is not identified despite workup with upper endoscopy or barium swallow x-ray. Patients are often referred to the Motility Laboratory for evaluation of non-obstructive dysphagia. Transnasal esophageal manometry-impedance is a diagnostic test to measure the pressures and coordination of the esophagus during swallowing. The Endolumenal Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (EndoFLIP) is another instrument used to measure the lumen distensibility of the esophagus and pylorus. Both tests are FDA-approved and are currently being used in clinical practice. However, correlation of the results obtained from these tests with clinical syndromes and symptoms is not clearly understood. Furthermore, the relationship between esophageal impedance-manometry and EndoFLIP results has never been defined.

The primary Aim is to develop a registry of patients undergoing esophageal manometry-impedance and Endoflip from the GI Motility Lab at the IU University Hospital
The present invention relates to the treatment of human amoebiasis caused by the Protozoan Entamoeba Histolytica, which involves Metronidazole, a compound that presents adverse side effects, thereby making it necessary to search for new control methods. Herein, the EhCFIm25 protein represents a target since its absence causes the death of the parasite. The process consists of using the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment, identifying two aptamers of single-stranded RNA with an affinity for EhCFIm25: SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2. Also, using RNA electrophoretic mobility retardation assays confirms that both aptamers specifically recognize recombinant EhCFlm25 but not a mutant protein that differs from the wild one by a single amino acid. Further, it recognizes the endogenous EhCFIm25 protein in extracts from trophozoites of E. Histolytica, but not homologous proteins from other organisms. Finally, said treatment inhibits the proliferation of the parasite and causes its death. Said results open the possibility of using aptamers SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2 as a biomarker or molecular tool, thus developing novel methods of diagnosis or treatment of human amoebiasis.
Propafenone slows atrioventricular conduction and may also cause dose-related first degree AV block. Average PR interval prolongation and increases in QRS duration are also dose-related. Do not give propafenone to patients with atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction defects in the absence of a pacemaker[see Contraindications (4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].

The incidence of first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree AV block observed in 2,127 subjects with ventricular arrhythmia was 2.5%, 0.6%, and 0.2%, respectively. Development of second- or third-degree AV block requires a reduction in dosage or discontinuation of propafenone HCl. Bundle branch block (1.2%) and intraventricular conduction delay (1.1%) have been reported in subjects receiving propafenone. Bradycardia has also been reported (1.5%). Experience in patients with sick sinus node syndrome is limited and these patients should not be treated with propafenone.

In a U.S. trial in 523 subjects with a history of symptomatic AF treated with sustained-release propafenone, sinus bradycardia (rate less than 50 beats/min) was reported with the same frequency with sustained-release propafenone and placebo.
Participants will be assigned a date for receiving and installing the full system (sensors for entry, activity, temperature, water leak; voice control; digital display; local router) six months after they enter the study. During that six-month period, questionnaires (e.g., health and well-being) will be administered 3 times (at the start of the study and every 3 months thereafter). At the end of the six-month period, participants will receive and install the full system (sensors for entry, activity, temperature, water leak; voice control; digital display; local router) in their homes. Remote assistance will be provided to help with the installation. Sensors, warnings, messaging, and social networking features will be activated remotely. Participation will extend over an additional six-month period with questionnaires (e.g., health and well-being) administered 2 times (every 3 months following installation).
Rationale: Despite significant advances in precision treatments and immunotherapy, lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. To reduce incidence and improve survival rates, a deeper understanding of lung premalignancy and the multistep process of tumorigenesis is essential, allowing timely and effective intervention before cancer development. Objectives: To summarize existing information, identify knowledge gaps, formulate research questions, prioritize potential research topics, and propose strategies for future investigations into the premalignant progression in the lung. Methods: An international multidisciplinary team of basic, translational, and clinical scientists reviewed available data to develop and refine research questions pertaining to the transformation of premalignant lung lesions to advanced lung cancer. Results: This research statement identifies significant gaps in knowledge and proposes potential research questions aimed at expanding our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the progression of premalignant lung lesions to lung cancer in an effort to explore potential innovative modalities to intercept lung cancer at its nascent stages. Conclusions: The identified gaps in knowledge about the biological mechanisms of premalignant progression in the lung, together with ongoing challenges in screening, detection, and early intervention, highlight the critical need to prioritize research in this domain. Such focused investigations are essential to devise effective preventive strategies that may ultimately decrease lung cancer incidence and improve patient outcomes.

Atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL) is the most common cardiac tachyarrhythmia, with an increasing trend in its burden in recent years. However, the burden of AF/AFL in Iran remains unclear. This study aimed to estimate the burden of AF/AFL and its attributable risk factors from 1990 to 2019 at national and subnational levels. Using the comparative risk assessment method of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019, we extracted data on AF/AFL incidence, prevalence, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and their age-standardized rates from 1990 to 2019 and analyzed them based on by age, sex, and socio-demographic index (SDI). The percentage contribution of AF/AFL major risk factors was calculated. Moreover, the AF/AFL burden in 2050 was projected using the United Nations world population prospect data. In 2019, there were 339.1 (259.4-433.7) thousand AF/AFL patients in Iran, with 30.2 (23.2-38.5) thousand new cases, 1.7 (1.5-2) thousand deaths and 48 (37.7-60.5) thousand DALYs. Females and 50-69-year-old patients recorded a higher burden for AF/AFL; however, the increasing trend was more pronounced in males and more than 85-year-old patients. High systolic blood pressure and elevated body mass index (BMI) were the predominant attributable risk factors for AF/AFL-related deaths and DALYs. It is estimated that in 2050, the number of AF/AFL patients will increase to 1.1 million people, the incidence of AF/AFL will increase to 91 thousand patients, and the number of AF/AFL-related deaths and DALYs will surge to 7.2 and 170.8 thousand, respectively. Despite advancements in prevention and treatment, AF/AFL remains a major public health problem in Iran. Given its largely preventable and treatable nature, more cost-effective strategies are required to target modifiable risk factors, especially within susceptible age and sex groups.
In addition to HFA treatment, ivermectin 200 micrograms/kg/day (9mg between 36-50 kg, 12mg between 51-65 kg, 15mg between 66-79 kg and 200 micrograms/kg in \> 80 kg) in the form of a solution prepared for enteral use was added (HFA+I) to the treatment protocol of the study group's for five days. Blood sample was taken with the first dose of ivermectin and haplotype analysis was performed in ABCB1 and CYP3A4 genes in the whole study group.
BACKGROUND: Existing literature lacks high-quality evidence regarding the ideal intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to minimize postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). We hypothesized that applying individualized PEEP derived from electrical impedance tomography would reduce the severity of postoperative lung aeration loss, deterioration in oxygenation, and PPC incidence.
METHODS: A pilot feasibility study was conducted on 36 patients who underwent open abdominal oncologic surgery. The patients were randomized to receive individualized PEEP or conventional PEEP at 4 cmH2O. The primary outcome was the impact of individualized PEEP on changes in the modified lung ultrasound score (MLUS) derived from preoperative and postoperative lung ultrasonography. A higher MLUS indicated greater lung aeration loss. The secondary outcomes were the PaO2/FiO2 ratio and PPC incidence.
RESULTS: A significant increase in the postoperative MLUS (12.0 ± 3.6 vs 7.9 ± 2.1, P < 0.001) and a significant difference between the postoperative and preoperative MLUS values (7.0 ± 3.3 vs 3.0 ± 1.6, P < 0.001) were found in the conventional PEEP group, indicating increased lung aeration loss. In the conventional PEEP group, the intraoperative PaO2/FiO2 ratios were significantly lower but not the postoperative ratios. The PPC incidence was not significantly different between the groups. Post-hoc analysis showed the increase in lung aeration loss and deterioration of intraoperative oxygenation correlated with the deviation from the individualized PEEP.
CONCLUSIONS: Individualized PEEP appears to protect against lung aeration loss and intraoperative oxygenation deterioration. The advantage was greater in patients whose individualized PEEP deviated more from the conventional PEEP.
