Antibodies for a mutant form of the epidermal growth factor receptor known as EGFRvIII are described. This mutant is found only or primarily on the surface of glioblastoma cells, and on cells of breast, ovarian and non-small cell lung carcinomas. The antibodies described have higher affinity for EGFRvIII, and form immunotoxins with higher cytotoxicity and yield, than prior art antibodies, including the scFv designated MR1. In particular, an antibody, designated MR1-1 is provided, which mutates MR1 in the CDR3 of the VH and VL chains to make an antibody with especially good cytotoxicity. Additional antibodies are also described in which MR1 is mutated in the CDR1 and 2 of VH or VL, or both, with better binding to EGFRvIII than that of the parental MR1 antibody. Depicted in the graph is the survival of athymic rats with neoplastic meningitis following intrathecal injection of human glioblastoma cells transfected with EGFRvIII and treated with MR1-1-targeted immunotoxin or saline control. The Y-axis shows the percentage of animals surviving at a given point in time. The X-axis shows the survival time in days.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Serum levels of microRNA-371a-3p (M371) represent a novel and sensitive biomarker of germ cell tumours (GCTs). This study analysed the utility of M371 to identify viable cancer (VC) in postchemotherapy (pc) residual masses with the underlying goal of avoiding overtreatment.
METHODS: A multicentric, prospective diagnostic study was conducted in 180 GCT patients undergoing pc resection of residual masses. A correlation of M371 measurement results with the histological presence of VC in masses was found. A receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed for exploring the performance characteristics of the test.
KEY FINDINGS AND LIMITATIONS: The sensitivity was found to be 68.9%, specificity 99.3%, area under the curve 0.813, positive predictive value 0.969, and negative predictive value 0.905; sensitivity is significantly associated with the percentage of VC in the mass. In specimens with ≤10% VC, there were 33.3% elevated M371 levels as opposed to 85.7% in specimens with >50% VC. Teratoma and somatic-type malignancy do not express M371. A lack of a central pathological review is a limitation.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The M371 test can identify 68.9% of patients with VC in pc masses. However, cases with <10% VC in the mass may escape detection. Teratoma does not express M371. The test alone cannot correctly identify patients requiring pc surgery, but it may be a tool for scheduling the extent of surgery.
PATIENT SUMMARY: The microRNA-371a-3p (M371) test can identify about two-thirds of patients with viable cancer in residual metastatic masses following chemotherapy for germ cell tumours. Only masses with high percentages of viable cancer cells can be identified, and the histological subtype teratoma remains undetected with the test.
Under the hypothesis the unique character of patients might be due to the sleep disturbance in the patients possibly due to severe pain of arthritis or unique biochemical disease activities. We do following studies; The study of sleep quality of the patients; The number of patients expected to be included in the study is 1,000. Inclusion criteria is the ACR criteria, and exclusion criteria is any defined disease conditions of sleep disorders in ICSD. The method includes questionnaire using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scoring and Epworth scoring, and actigraphy measurement for more than 3 days. In a portion of the patients, we measure clinical arthritis activities in conjunction with western blot for c-fos and wee-1 as well as routine clinical laboratory tests. Also in a portion of the patients, we do the polysomnography study; expected number of participants would be 100. We also plan to test the effect of good sloop on arthritis in a portion of the patients.

The second arm is a specified 2-month POPOP focused on weight loss administered by the external partner, 20Lighter. The program includes customized meal plans; vitamin, mineral and nutritional supplementation; and daily engagement via a smartphone app with a 20Lighter health care provider. Video conferencing appointments will occur approximately every 3 weeks. The program does not require any exercise or physical engagement but does necessitate that patients have a smartphone or tablet with Bluetooth capability, cell signal or WIFI connection. During the first 40 days the customized meal plans are adhered to, then from days 41-60 patients will transition back to a normal dietary lifestyle via a customized plan based on considerations including, food preferences, physical engagement and height. Patients who achieve a BMI below 40.0 before the end of the 60 day program may be seen sooner than 90d for follow-up appointment in the UAMS clinic.
The study will collect two hundred pseudomonas and 20 acinetobacter baumanti consecutive bacterial isolates from microbiology. These isolates are collected as part of the patient's clinical care and are discarded once all clinical testing is complete. The honest broker will obtain these samples after all clinical testing is complete. All isolates will be deidentified. These isolates will be tested using standardized susceptibility methods for meropenem and imipenem. The activity of doripenem, a carbapenem currently being studied, and arbekacin an aminoglycoside, will also be tested. The honest broker will also collect limited patient data including underlying condition, presence of a solid organ transplant, ward location, and antibiotic history over the three months prior to organism isolation. For resistant isolates found, analytical and molecular techniques will be performed to determine the mechanisms of resistance and whether resistant isolates are coming from a single source/being transmitted from person to person.
This study is a prospective, randomized trial of women undergoing HSG as part of their infertility evaluation. At the time of scheduling, the patient will be randomized to either the cervical vacuum cup, balloon catheter (H/S catheter set, UA Medical, Biotech America), or the acorn-tipped cannula using stratified blocked randomization. 100 subjects will be randomized to one of the three cannulas. Patients will be stratified into 4 groups representative of the four reproductive endocrinologists in order to overcome any potential interoperator bias.

Four reproductive endocrinologists will perform the HSG procedures in a standardized fashion. Fluoroscopy will ensure proper location of the cannula and check for uterine filling of contrast. Digital images will document tubal filling and spilling of contrast. The patient will be rolled to right and left side to confirm free spillage of contrast in the peritoneal cavity. The last image will be taken after the balloon tip is deflated or the cannulas are removed to best evaluate the lower uterine segment.
Consenting participants will be randomized equally to one of three in-person group interventions for 12 weeks: Standard yoga practice, Ayurvedic yoga practice, or educational attention-control modules. The primary outcome is depression severity, measured by Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI) scores. Secondary outcomes include perceived stress, measured by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) scores, and several biomarker assays associated with depression: methylation of the GrimAge epigenetic clock, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) transcription, leucocyte telomere length, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF). Blinded assessors will conduct all outcome analyses at 12 weeks. The primary analysis will test whether the yoga groups combined achieve statistically greater change in BDI scores compared to the control group. Secondary analyses will test whether the yoga groups combined, compared to the control group, demonstrate statistically greater change in PSS scores and the aforementioned biomarker assays. In sub-analyses, investigators will assess whether Ayurvedic yoga participants, compared to Standard yoga participants, demonstrate statistically significant improvements in BDI scores, PSS scores, and depression biomarker assays over the 12-week intervention period.
Multi-angle radiographic imaging enables 3D visualization of internal surgical targets like solid-tumors, heart vessels, blocked glands or any bodily cavities like fallopian or Eustachian tubes for diagnostics and surgery planning. Those images are dimensionally precise and easily replicated as life-forms with 3D printing for exact modeling. The “negative” aspects of the images are the diseased tissues requiring excision, as in a solid-tumor example. Needle biopsies are routine and can be radiographically guided. Similarly, guided needle delivery of a magnetic surgical fluid containing fullerenes into a target site, such as a solid tumor is less invasive than laparoscopic techniques. Introducing an external magnetic field force can then be used to propel, rotate and maneuver fullerenes into cellular matter or into tissue. Without such external force from the external magnetic field, the suspension of nanoparticles remains harmless due to their atomic scale, inertia and intrinsic repulsion from contact with nearby matter. Notably, fullerenes are hydrophobic and can move freely in biologic space (or interstitially) including amongst water molecules without contact. However, if energized and propelled by a controlled external magnetic source, the nanoparticle could readily penetrate cells, tissues, bone, or biological material. In addition to magnetic launching of the nanoparticles, rotation of the fullerene particles would create millions of nanoscale abrasive structures that can grind down larger structures like tissues, organs, or bones. By example, oscillating or reciprocal computer-controlled magnetic forces in radiographically defined space would activate fullerenes, inducing momentum and rotation that can exenterate a tumor, while chemically cauterizing small feeding vessels for hemostatic control and absent any damage to nearby normal, non-target matter. Essentially, biological material targeted with magnetically manipulated fullerenes could be ablated with a microscopic “sharpness” unattainable with conventional instrumentation. Magnetic forces are mathematically articulated and understood in highly precise terms, wherein objects subject to magnetic energy are controllable regarding mass, force and velocity. After completion of the surgical procedure, the magnetic fullerene fluid can be aggregated and removed along with flushing of attendant debris with a syringe or similar instrument.
Participants with RMS will receive placebo IV as an add-on therapy to a background DMT once every 4 weeks over 72 weeks in Part 1 and BIIB033 once every 4 weeks over 96 weeks in Part 2. The placebo looks like BIIB033 but does not contain the active ingredient that is thought to have an effect on MS disease. The placebo used in this study is sterile normal saline (water with a small amount of sodium chloride \[salt\]).
Children in virtual care group (VCG) were given distance asthma education for the first month. The education was given in groups of 5-6 children. Also, short videos were taken by the researcher on how to use medications and nebulizers and were shown in Zoom meetings. The education and videos were prepared by scanning the current literature and expert opinion was obtained from 2 experts in nursing education, 2 experts in pediatric nursing and a expert in the pediatric allergy field. Children and families sent asthma diaries to the researcher every 4 weeks. At the end of the first, third and sixth months, data from asthma diaries were collected via Google Forms. The Pediatric Asthma Child Quality of Life Scale score was also collected through Google Forms at the beginning and end of the sixth month. The patients received support from the researcher on case management via telephone or video call 24/7. Case management was multidisciplinary (a nurse and a specialist).
The method is for treating a marine object. A composition is provided that has an organic substance. The composition is applied to the marine object. The composition has a first layer and a second layer. A first organic substance on the first layer attracts bacteria. The bacteria consume the first organic substance and during this process use oxygen. The bacteria thus reduce an oxygen level in a boundary layer adjacent to a surface of the marine object. The first layer of the composition erodes to expose the second layer. The bacteria consume a second organic substance of the second layer.
Patients randomized to this arm will receive daily 10 mg escitalopram for 3 months. If the medication is effective their bowel symptoms and pain thersholds will improve.
For elective cases, all participants are going to given nothing by mouth since midnight before surgery, and all operations are going to perform in the morning. For those who had emergency cesarean section, nothing is going to given per oral for at least 4 hours before the start of the operation. Operation data is going to recorded including surgical setting, type of cesarean section, previous surgery, adhesion and operation time.

After operation, the participants are going to randomly assigned into two groups by using cards. The patients are going to randomized into two groups by using a sealed enveloped system. A blue card and an orange card are going to sealed in separate envelopes. Blue card means patients will chewgum.

The patients in the study group, will chew one sugar less gum for 30 minutes in postoperative 3., 5. and 7. hours. The control group will be followed without chew gum. Both patient groups will be mobilized in postoperative 6 hour and 8 hour after the operation, juicy food will be given. It will be introduced to solid foods after bowel movements and gas output occurs. All patients postoperatively 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 48 hours will be examined and bowel sounds will be oscult. Gas evolution is still not, enema will be applied. All patients will note the time of first rumbling of the stomach, first feeling of hunger and the first gas outlet.
Inflammatory arthritis are common chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases characterised by progressive, destructive inflammation of the joints leading to a loss of function and significant comorbidities; importantly, there are no cures and only 20% of patients achieve drug-free remission for over 2 years. Macrophages play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis, however, under the wrong environmental cues, become drivers of chronic synovial inflammation. Based on the current "dogma", M1 macrophages secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, promoting tissue degradation and joint and bone erosion which over time lead to accelerated disease progression. On the other hand, M2 macrophages secrete anti-inflammatory mediators associated with wound healing, tissue remodelling and the resolution of inflammation. Currently, four subtypes of M2 macrophages have been identified, namely M2a, M2b, M2c and M2d. However, more subtypes may exist due to macrophage plasticity and the ability for repolarisation. Macrophages are highly plastic, and polarisation exists as a continuum with diverse intermediate phenotypes. This plasticity is achieved by a highly amenable epigenome in response to environmental stimuli and shifts in metabolism. Initiating treatment during the early stages of disease is important for improved prognosis and patient outcomes. Currently, no treatment targeting macrophages specifically is available. Such therapeutics are being investigated in ongoing clinical trials. The repolarisation of pro-inflammatory macrophages towards the anti-inflammatory phenotype has been proposed as an effective approach in targeting the M1/M2 imbalance, and in turn is a potential therapeutic strategy for IA diseases. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms that govern macrophage plasticity is fundamental for the success of novel macrophage targeting therapeutics.

Medication Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) has traditionally been mostly attributed to the exposure to antiresorptive agents such as bisphosphonates and denosumab. Nevertheless, following the development of new medications in oncology, the spectrum of drugs associated with MRONJ widened, with, for example, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mTOR inhibitor, or monoclonal antibodies against VEGF. To date, MRONJ has not been assessed or reported in patients treated with guselkumab so far. Guselkumab is a fully human IgG1λ monoclonal antibody that selectively targets the p19 protein subunit of extracellular human IL-23 and inhibits its intracellular and downstream signalling. It consists of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains. The four chains are linked together by covalent disulfide bonds and noncovalent protein-protein interactions. The aim of this article is to report a case of a patient with severe psoriasic arhtritis and plaque psoriasis who presented with a clinical condition that could resemble a MRONJ following guselkumab therapy and a dental root extraction.
PURPOSE:To provide a cosmetic composition containing the oil of Hippophac rhamnoides. L, etc., having a reduced content of tocopherol, not coloring with time and therefore having a high commercial value, the oil of the Hippophac rhammoides. L being prepared by dissolving the oil of the Hippophac rhamnoides. L or a hydrogenated product thereof in a non-polar solvent and subsequently passing the prepared solution through an adsorbing tower. CONSTITUTION:An oil obtained from the pericarp of Hippophac rhamnoides. L or a hydrogenated product thereof is dissolved in a non-polar solvent (e.g., petroleum ether, n-hexane or CCl4) and once or circulatively passed through an adsorbing tower filled with an adsorbing agent (e.g., silica or active China clay) to give the purified oil or the hydrogenated product thereof wherein the content of tocopherol is reduced to <=200ppm. An cosmetic composition contains the purified oil or the hydrogenated product thereof. The solvent after treated is distilled off by a heating distillation process only or together with a steam- bubbling process under a reduced pressure. The cosmetic composition has excellent storage stability because of generating no coloration caused by the oxidation reaction of the tocopherol.
Physical and psychological stress on Warfighters during training and operational missions can suppress immune responsiveness. Skin wound healing models can be used to detect changes in immune function. The goals of this research are to: 1) quantify the impact of an operational stressor (i.e., sleep restriction) on suction blister immune response and skin barrier restoration; and, 2) test the influence of nutrition intervention(s) on immune response and skin barrier restoration consequent to an operational stressor. Research will be conducted in a laboratory environment using male and female Soldiers from the human research participant detachment (NSRDEC), NSRDEC and/or USARIEM. Recently, the investigators lab assessed the test-retest reliability of a suction blister model by creating eight suction blisters on participants' left and right forearms, and sampling blister fluid and skin barrier restoration (12-06H), which will serve as one of the control groups (Group 1, N = 15) for the study described herein. Participants in the study described herein (Groups 2-4, n = \~60) will be exposed to \~50 hours of sleep restriction , after which time eight suction blisters will be induced on one forearm and immune responsiveness and skin barrier restoration time recorded. Participants will receive no nutrition intervention (Group 2), an immune-enhancing beverage and additional protein (1.2 g protein per kg body weight versus 0.8 g protein per kg body weight) (Group 3) or probiotics (Group 4), during and after sleep restriction to determine if nutritional approaches attenuate the loss of immune responsiveness. The results of this study will provide insight into whether nutritional supplementation approaches confer immune recovery. The investigators hypothesize that the suction blister immune response (during the 24 hours following blister induction) and time to skin barrier restoration will degrade after an imposed stress which includes\~50 hours of wakefulness and constrained living; and, a diet supplemented with either protein and a multi-nutrient nutritional supplement OR probiotics will attenuate the decrements in suction blister immune responsiveness (during the 24 hours following blister induction) and time to skin barrier restoration in response to \~50 hours of sustained wakefulness and constrained living.
The second group will undergo intravenous sedation and analgesia by using a mixture of Fentanyl, Propofol and Ketamine (PFK mixture). The mixture consists of 100 mcg Fentanyl, 100 mg Propofol, 100 mg of Ketamine. In addition, 40 mg of Lidocaine will be added, this aims to reduce the pain on injection caused by Propofol. Moreover, 4 ml of water for injection will be added to the mixture.
Subjects will be randomly placed into Control group and Interventional group. The control program will consist of Deep Breathing Exercises (from Morning to night every three hours; each session consisting of 10 deep breaths with a few seconds pause between each set, for 3 days) in addition with progressive Exercises. Two daily sessions with an average duration of 25 min will be performed. In addition to the physiotherapeutic program standardized by the hospital's team of physical therapists, the intervention group will perform additional Deep breathing Exercises (from Morning to night every three hours; each session consisting of 30 deep breaths with a few seconds pause between each set, for 3 days). Deep breathing exercises will start 48 hours after extubation and full education along with the routine care (i.e.: from the fourth to sixth postoperative day).
