PURPOSE:To chemically synthesize a hexasaccharide hexasulfate compd. expected to be useful as a blood coagulant by catalytically reducing a specific compd. or its salt. CONSTITUTION:A new hexasaccharide hexasulfate compd. of formula II is produced by catalytically reducing a compd. of formula I or its salt. The resulting compd. has a structure formed by substituting terminal 2,5-anhydro- D-talitol 4-sulfate residues of a hexasaccharide hexasulfate compd. isolated from natural products with N-acetyl-D-galactosamine 4-sulfate residues and can be totally synthesized, thus enabling its production in a large amt. whereas only a minute amt. thereof has been isolated from natural products.
BACKGROUND: The topoisomerase I inhibitor topotecan (TPT) is used in the treatment of recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the drug has a limited success rate and causes distress to patients due to its side effects, such as hematologic toxicities, including anemia and thrombocytopenia. Due to these pharmacokinetic limitations and undesirable side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, the development of combination therapies has gained popularity in SCLC. Meclofenamic acid (MA), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has demonstrated anticancer effects on various types of cancers through different mechanisms. This study aims to investigate the potential synergistic effects of MA and TPT on the small cell lung cancer cell line DMS114.
METHODS AND RESULTS: To assess the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of the combined treatment of MA and TPT, trypan blue exclusion assay, Annexin V, acridine orange/propidium iodide staining, western blot, and cell cycle analysis were conducted. The results demonstrated that the combination of MA and TPT elicited synergistic effects by enhancing toxicity in DMS114 cells (P < 0.01) without causing toxicity in healthy epithelial lung cells MRC5. The strongest synergistic effect was observed when the cells were treated with 60 µM MA and 10 nM TPT for 48 h (CI = 0,751; DRI = 10,871).
CONCLUSION: This study, for the first time, furnishes compelling evidence that MA and TPT synergistically reduce cellular proliferation and induce apoptosis in SCLC cells. Combinations of these drugs holds promise as a potential therapeutic strategy to improve efficacy and reduce the side effects associated with TPT.
PURPOSE: We sought to elicit perspectives on HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention among adolescents with recent STIs in primary care to optimize acceptability and effectiveness in designing a novel HIV/STI prevention intervention.
METHODS: We enrolled 13-19 year-olds with recent gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, and/or syphilis in a multimethods cross-sectional study at two primary care clinics. Participants completed surveys and interviews. We used an integrated analytic approach deductively coding data using the Integrated Behavioral Model, then inductively coding to identify themes not represented in the Integrated Behavioral Model.
RESULTS: Participants (n = 35) were 85% cisgender female, 14% cisgender male, 1% transgender female; 25% identified as lesbian, bisexual, or queer. Most (97%) identified as non-Latinx Black. None used condoms consistently, 26% were aware of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and 31% were never HIV tested. Five key themes emerged. 1) Mental health was central to HIV prevention behavior uptake and coping with STI diagnosis. 2) Youth desired prevention counseling that allowed decisional autonomy and individualized goal setting. 3) Negative social norms around condoms and absent norms around HIV testing and PrEP limited method uptake. 4) Both confidence and concrete skills were needed to initiate prevention methods. 5) Youth desired education at the time of STI diagnosis to improve subsequent prevention decision making.
DISCUSSION: Key intervention design considerations included 1) integrating mental health assessment and referral to services, 2) promoting individualized goal setting, 4) building communication skills, 4) providing navigation and material support for PrEP uptake and HIV testing, and 5) augmenting comprehensive STI and HIV prevention education.
Several monitors are currently proposed to evaluate the depth of hypnosis. The Conox monitor differentiates itself from the other brain monitor by calculating two EEG indexes, the qCon and the qNox. The qCon corresponds to the depth of the sedation and the qNox relates to the probability that a nociceptive stimulation triggers a movement of the patient. A controller allowing the automated titration of propofol guided by the qCon and remifentanil guided by the qNox has been developed. In preparation for a large multi-center control trial, this prospective randomized study evaluates the effectiveness of such a closed-loop anesthesia system. Two groups of patients are compared: one arm in which propofol and remifentanil are administered by the anesthesiologist using target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems, and the second arm in which propofol and remifentanil are administered automatically by the combined closed-loop anesthesia system. In both groups, the goal is to maintain qCon between 40 and 60, the recommended range during anesthesia by the manufacturer. It is expected the combined closed-loop anesthesia system group to do similar or better control to maintain the qCon in the desired range.
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and discloses an adeno-associated virus mutant with resting or activating T cell targeting and application thereof. The amino acid sequence of the heterologous peptide with T cell targeting is shown as any one of SEQ ID No. 1-5. The invention has the advantages of high efficiency of targeted resting or activating T cells, low dosage, strong infectivity and good safety. The AAV capsid protein mutant obtained by screening does not need to integrate genome, and the T cells infected and activated by the recombinant adeno-associated virus obtained by construction can realize quick infection and reinfusion, and reduce unnecessary quality inspection and in-vitro residence time; t cells stimulated by infectious agents also have very excellent performance. The AAV capsid protein mutant obtained by screening of the invention has great clinical value and commercial application scene when being used for infecting resting or activating T cells.
Participants in the experimental condition will view a video designed to induce positive affect. This includes 3 short comedy clips (fork handles sketch, the two Ronnie's; A room with a view - faulty towers; Tim Vine Live stand-up extract), uplifting music (Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley; Happy Together - The Turtles), jokes and positive imagery. The content of the intervention has been informed by patient and public involvement, focus groups with older adults, and pilot testing.
The use of C-peptide for the prevention and/or treatment of macrovascular complications in diabetic patients are disclosed. The composition of C-peptide may be administered sequentially or simultaneously with insulin. Associated methods of treatment using C-peptide and medicaments containing C-peptide are also claimed. The macrovascular complications can include primary atherosclerotic disease, coronary heart disease, and intimal hyperplasia in vein grafts. C-peptide may exert its effects by preventing the insulin induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Use of C-peptide for enhancing endothelial cell proliferation and/or endothelial cell regeneration, and for the treatment of endothelial injury are also claimed.
Previous studies have reported the effects of vibratory stimulation (VS) therapy in reducing upper extremity spasticity after stroke. However, the effective location of the VS in patients with stroke remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the VS location that is most effective in reducing post-stroke finger and wrist flexor spasticity. We enrolled 27 consecutive patients with stroke and upper extremity spasticity in this retrospective observational study. The participants received stretching, tendon vibration, and muscle belly vibration for 5 min over a period of 3 days. To evaluate spasticity, we assessed the Modified Ashworth Scale score before and immediately after each treatment and immediately after voluntary finger flexion. Participants who received tendon vibration showed greater improvement in flexor tone in the fingers than participants who received stretching and muscle belly vibration (P < 0.05 and < 0.001, respectively). Participants who underwent VS showed no significant improvement in the wrist flexor tone compared to those who underwent stretching. Our results suggest that the tendon may be the most effective location for treating spasticity of the finger flexor muscles and that VS may not significantly improve spasticity of the wrist flexors more than stretching.
Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is a crucial epigenetic modulator essential for various developmental and physiological functions. Although its dysfunction is increasingly recognized in abnormal phenotypes, to our knowledge, there have been no established reports of human diseases directly linked to HDAC3 dysfunction. Using trio exome sequencing and extensive phenotypic analysis, we correlated heterozygous de novo variants in HDAC3 with a neurodevelopmental disorder having variable clinical presentations, frequently associated with intellectual disability, developmental delay, epilepsy, and musculoskeletal abnormalities. In a cohort of six individuals, we identified missense variants in HDAC3 (c.277G>A [p.Asp93Asn], c.328G>A [p.Ala110Thr], c.601C>T [p.Pro201Ser], c. 797T>C [p.Leu266Ser], c.799G>A [p.Gly267Ser], and c.1075C>T [p.Arg359Cys]), all located in evolutionarily conserved sites and confirmed as de novo. Experimental studies identified defective deacetylation activity in the p.Asp93Asn, p.Pro201Ser, p.Leu266Ser, and p.Gly267Ser variants, positioned near the enzymatic pocket. In addition, proteomic analysis employing co-immunoprecipitation revealed that the disrupted interactions with molecules involved in the CoREST and NCoR complexes, particularly in the p.Ala110Thr variant, consist of a central pathogenic mechanism. Moreover, immunofluorescence analysis showed diminished nuclear to cytoplasmic fluorescence ratio in the p.Ala110Thr, p.Gly267Ser, and p.Arg359Cys variants, indicating impaired nuclear localization. Taken together, our study highlights that de novo missense variants in HDAC3 are associated with a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders, which emphasizes the complex role of HDAC3 in histone deacetylase activity, multi-protein complex interactions, and nuclear localization for proper physiological functions. These insights open new avenues for understanding the molecular mechanisms of HDAC3-related disorders and may inform future therapeutic strategies.
Participants will have an individualized reduced-calorie diet prescription and weight loss counseling session with the project coordinator, who is a registered dietitian. Composition of prescribed diets will be based on individual preferences. During the 6-month intervention, study subjects will participate in individualized counseling and group sessions, with in-person, telephone, email and text message contacts to provide support and behavioral guidance and strategies. Participants assigned to this arm will be instructed to abstain from the consumption of nuts during the study. All participants will have contact with the project coordinator a minimum of every 1-2 weeks.
BACKGROUND. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) facilitates accurate probe placement in percutaneous ablation of lung tumors but may increase risk for adverse events, including systemic air embolism. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare major adverse events and procedural efficiency of percutaneous lung ablation with HFJV under general anesthesia to spontaneous respiration (SR) under moderate sedation. METHODS. This retrospective study included consecutive adults who underwent CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation of one or more lung tumors with HFJV or SR between January 1, 2017, and May 31, 2023. We compared major adverse events (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade ≥ 3) within 30 days postprocedure and hospital length of stay (HLOS) of 2 days or more using logistic regression analysis. We compared procedure time, room time, CT guidance acquisition time, CT guidance radiation dose, total radiation dose, and pneumothorax using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS. Overall, 139 patients (85 women, 54 men; median age, 68 years) with 310 lung tumors (82% metastases) underwent 208 cryoablations (HFJV, n = 129; SR, n = 79). HFJV showed greater rates than SR for the treatment of multiple tumors per session (43% vs 19%, respectively; p = .02) and tumors in a nonperipheral location (48% vs 24%, p < .001). Major adverse event rate was 8% for HFJV and 5% for SR (p = .46). No systemic air embolism occurred. HLOS was 2 days or more in 17% of sessions and did not differ significantly between HFJV and SR (p = .64), including after adjusting for probe number per session, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and operator experience (p = .53). Ventilation modalities showed no significant difference in procedure time, CT guidance acquisition time, CT guidance radiation dose, or total radiation dose (all p > .05). Room time was longer for HFJV than SR (median, 154 vs 127 minutes, p < .001). For HFJV, the median anesthesia time was 136 minutes. Ventilation modalities did not differ in the frequencies of pneumothorax or pneumothorax requiring chest tube placement (both p > .05). CONCLUSION. HFJV appears to be as safe as SR but had longer room times. HFJV can be used in complex cases without significantly impacting HLOS of 2 days or more, procedure time, or radiation exposure. CLINICAL IMPACT. Selection of the ventilation modality during percutaneous lung ablation should be based on patient characteristics and anticipated procedural requirements as well as operator preference.
Research shows that the combination of early nutritional intervention and psychological palliative intervention can improve the quality of life of patients, reduce the probability of depression, improve the prognosis of patients and prolong the overall survival time for up to two months. The research of Peking University Cancer Hospital in China shows that early nutrition and psychological palliative intervention can improve the prognosis of patients with advanced esophageal cancer and prolong the overall survival by nearly three months. The first mock exam (including exercise, nutrition and Psychology) seems to be more effective than a single model of pre rehabilitation. Therefore, the current triple rehabilitation strategy is advocated, namely, high intensity aerobic exercise during the waiting period, nutritional support based on protein supplementation, and psychological support to eliminate anxiety. Tumor multimodal rehabilitation has received more and more attention, but there is no clinical research on the "triple multimodal rehabilitation" of nutrition + Exercise + psychology in patients with abdominal tumor concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, the research on the impact of whole process multimodal rehabilitation (nutrition-Exercise-Psychology) on patients with abdominal tumor concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy has been carried out, It has important scientific significance and value to promote the rehabilitation and development of tumor patients undergoing concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

In this study,the investigators carry out a multi center, randomized controlled clinical study to analyze the impact of the whole process multi-mode rehabilitation management (nutrition-Sports- Psychology) on the nutritional status, physical status, psychological status, treatment side effects and the completion rate of radiotherapy and chemotherapy of patients with abdominal tumors; To explore and establish a multi-mode rehabilitation management path for patients with malignant tumors undergoing concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Yasmin oral contraceptive; CDB 2914 progesterone antagonist. Treatment arm # 3 is identical to treatment arm # 1 with the exception that the continuous administration of Yasmin will also include the administration of progesterone antagonist CDB-2914 during weeks 3, 8, and 14. Menses is anticipated to occur within 2-3 days of CDB-2914 administration. Women in treatment arms # 3 and # 1 will be exposed to continuous levels of Yasmin, but due to the local effects of the progesterone antagonist on the endometrium, women in arm # 3 will experience menses.
I will utilize a randomized independent measures single blind study. Meaning participants will be randomly assigned to three different groups. The randomization process will be completed by the primary investigator, using a computer randomization software. Essentially, participants will all be given numbers which will be entered into the software, which then randomly assigns them to one of the three groups. The groups are: the virtual reality intervention group, the PDSAFEX group and the control group. Dr. Almeida, the tester of UPDRS scores, will be unaware of which groups each participant is in - only I will be aware. I aim to recruit about thirty-six individuals (12 per group). The study will last twelve weeks. It will include: pre-testing and post-testing with a one month follow up. However, due to time constrains the post testing may be completed after 8 weeks so I can begin to analyze data and have a write up for my classmates and professors. There will still be the scheduled post testing and follow up after the fact at the specified original times (12 weeks and 1 month follow up). Participants will come into the MDRC three times per week. Depending on their group they will complete the PDSAFEX training or VR training intervention. PDSAFEX is a scripted intervention run by trained volunteers, it progresses in difficulty week by week. The VR technology group will complete a protocol that is associated with the software system of the device. They will be asked to complete exercises and/games aimed specifically at improving balance. For example, a game where they must dodge incoming objects while maintain good balance. Virtual reality, is also able to be increased in difficulty through changing the environment and/or stimuli characteristics/speed.

The virtual reality group will be exposed to the virtual reality simulation software for about 1 hour and 15 minutes including set up. They will complete a set of activities, games and exercises that are centered around improving balance. The activities and games are included in the software. The environment and difficulty of the protocol can be altered to make it more/less difficult depending on the participant's ability and/progression throughout the study.

The PDSAFEX intervention was created to improve an individual's sensory integration with a focus on improving balance. It consists of a 12-week protocol administered by trained volunteers. Each session lasts about 1 hour. Each week of the PDSAFEX protocol increases in either difficulty/volume to allow consistent improvements. Furthermore, some of the conditions/exercises are attempted under dim lights or with eyes closed to further stress the focus on limiting visual domains. Focusing on proprioception.

The control group will come in to the MDRC facility, to complete testing (pre, post and follow up). The participants in this group will be asked to continue their lifestyles without any drastic changes for the duration of the study.
