OBJECTIVE: Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a key contributor to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), but the relation between high-risk HPV genotypes and the location of CIN lesions remains unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the most frequent biopsy site of CIN lesions in women with different HPV infection and to analyze the biopsy times, CIN frequency, and the clustering of CIN frequency based on 12-o'clock sites and cervical quadrant locations.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: We conducted a retrospective study of HPV detection and genotyping at the virology department of our hospital. Colposcopy exams were performed by specialists according to a standardized protocol, and all visually abnormal areas were further biopsied. Pearson chi-squared tests and cluster analyses were implemented to analyze the data.
RESULTS: Among 1,381 women enrolled in this study, 933 cases infected with HPV. HPV16, HPV58, and HPV18 were the most common genotypes. The most frequent biopsy site was the 6 o'clock position. The highest frequency of high-grade CIN findings in single-genotype HPV groups was the 6 o'clock position and that for multiple-genotype HPV group was the 12 o'clock location. All CIN clusters were found in the 6 and 12 o'clock biopsy sites, except in the HPV18 group. Quadrant 2 and 4 were clustered in most groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The 6 and 12 o'clock sites in cervical quadrant 2 and 4 should be targeted during cervical biopsy procedures. These findings can provide clinicians with specific recommendations on the optimal site for CIN biopsy when considering the HPV genotype.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), specifically those preconditioned with deferoxamine (DFO) in canine adipose tissue-derived MSCs (cAT-MSCs), were explored for treating autoimmune diseases. This study assessed the effects of DFO-preconditioned EVs (EVDFO) in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model. cAT-MSCs were treated with DFO for 48 h, after which EVs were isolated. EAE mice received intranasal EV or EVDFO treatments and were euthanized following histopathologic analysis; RNA and protein expression levels were measured. Histologically, EV and EVDFO groups showed a significant reduction in inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination. Immunofluorescence revealed increased CD206 and Foxp3 expression, indicating elevated M2 macrophages and regulatory T (Treg) cells, particularly in the EVDFO group. Treg cells also notably increased in the spleen of EVDFO -treated mice. STAT3 and pSTAT3 proteins were upregulated in the EAE groups compared to the naïve group. However, following EV treatment, STAT3 expression decreased compared to the EAE group, whereas pSTAT3 expression was similar in both the EV and EAE groups. In conclusion, EVDFO treatment resulted in reduced STAT3 expression, suggesting its role in T cell regulation and the potential of EVDFO in modulating the STAT3 pathway for reducing inflammation more effectively than non-preconditioned EVs.
In Singapore, population aging and rising life expectancy are increasing herpes zoster (HZ) burden, which may be reduced by vaccination. The present study modeled the public health impact of HZ vaccination in Singapore using ZOster ecoNomic Analysis (ZONA) model adapted with Singapore-specific key model inputs, where available. Base case analysis was conducted in adults ≥ 50 years of age (YOA), exploring three vaccination strategies (no vaccination, recombinant zoster vaccine [RZV], zoster vaccine live [ZVL]) under mass vaccination setting (30% coverage). Scenario and sensitivity analyses were performed. Out of 1.51 million adults in 2021 (base case population), 406,513 (27.0%) cases of HZ, 68,264 (4.5%) cases of post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), and 54,949 (3.6%) cases of other complications were projected without vaccination. RZV was estimated to avoid 73,129 cases of HZ, 11,094 cases of PHN, and 9,205 cases of other complications over the subjects' remaining lifetime; ZVL would avoid 17,565 cases of HZ, 2,781 cases of PHN, and 1,834 cases of other complications. The number needed to vaccinate to prevent one case of HZ/PHN was lower for RZV (7/41) than ZVL (26/163). Among all five age-stratified cohorts (50-59/60-64/65-69/70-79/≥80 YOA), RZV (versus no vaccination/ZVL) avoided the largest number of cases in the youngest cohort, 50-59 YOA. Results were robust under scenario and sensitivity analyses. Mass vaccination with RZV is expected to greatly reduce the public health burden of HZ among Singapore individuals ≥ 50 YOA. Findings support value assessment and decision-making regarding public health vaccination strategies for HZ prevention in Singapore.

INTRODUCTION: Ocular inflammation, uveitis, represents over 40 distinct diseases, caused by infectious or non-infectious etiologies. Non-infectious uveitis may be related to systemic autoimmune diseases. Most uveitis patients are of working age, and prolonged disease may affect their independence and ability to work. Uveitis has various clinical manifestations and may result in the development of ocular complications and vision loss. Uveitis accounts for 10-15% of blindness in the developed world. Autoimmune diseases are increasing globally and often involve the eyes. Most cases occur in young active people and therefore any ocular changes have a longer effect. Symptoms may be mild but they might be severe, even blindness. It accounts for 10% to 15% of all causes of blindness among people of working age in the developed world.
OBJECTIVES: To describe the ocular manifestation of uveitis related to systemic autoimmune diseases. We will describe ocular signs related to the disease and discuss the treatment approach to prevent the development of ocular complications and vision loss.
METHODS: Review of clinical findings and treatment approach to non-infectious uveitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Ocular involvement is commonly found in many autoimmune diseases. The severity of ocular disease varies between cases and complications may result in vision loss. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent the development of ocular complications, maintaining visual acuity and patient independence.
Subjects will consume a controlled diet for 5 days total. On Days 3 and 4, subjects will collect 24 hour urines. On Day 5, they will come to the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) in the fasted state for a visit lasting from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm. An intravenous (IV) catheter will be placed in a vein on the back of the hand at 8:30 am for a single dose of carbon-13 glycolate to be administered. From 7:30 am to 2:30 pm, urine collections will occur hourly. At 8:30 am, IV blood samples will be taken every fifteen minutes until 9:30 am, every half hour from 9:30 am to 10:30 am, and then finally hourly from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm . Subjects will receive a meal at 2:30 pm, thus concluding the CRU visit. At home, subjects will collect timed urine until the next morning to be returned to the CRU.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders and a primary cause of pain and disability among the elderly population. Research on the relationship between metalloproteins (MPs) and OA is limited, and causality remains unclear. Our objective is to utilize Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore the possible causal relationship between MPs and OA. The data on MPs were derived from a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) analysis involving 3301 samples. The GWAS data for OA were obtained from an analysis involving 462,933 European individuals. In this study, a variety of two-sample Mendelian randomization methods (two-sample MR) to evaluate the causal effect of MPs on OA, including inverse variance weighted method (IVW), MR-Egger method, weighted median method (WM), simple mode, weight mode, and Wald ratio. The primary MR analysis using the IVW method reveals a significant negative correlation between Metallothionein-1F (MT-1F), zinc finger protein 134 (ZNF134), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type 1D (CAMK1D), and EF-hand calcium-binding domain-containing protein 14 (EFCAB14) with the occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA) (p value < 0.05). However, no causal relationship was observed in the opposite direction between these MPs and OA. Notably, even in combined models accounting for confounding factors, the negative association between these four MPs and OA remained significant. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy or heterogeneity, and leave-one-out analysis confirmed the robustness of the results. In this study, we have established a conspicuous association between four distinct MPs and OA. This discovery augments our understanding of potential avenues for the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Key Points • The MR method was employed to assess the relationship between MPs and OA. • A total of four types of MPs have demonstrated inhibitory effects on the occurrence of OA.
INTRODUCTION: Aphasia is a communication disorder resulting from stroke and/or neurodegenerative conditions which involve the left cerebral hemisphere. It is a debilitating disorder affecting a person's ability to speak, understand, read, and write. Its impact on daily life necessitates therapeutic strategies to aid patients with aphasia.
AREAS COVERED: In this special report, the authors speculate whether current pharmacotherapeutic strategies are effective in treating aphasia. The authors look at aphasia caused by different conditions and how this could impact therapy before providing the reader with their expert perspectives. The aim of this paper is for the reader to gain a clearer understanding of the efficacy of the current pharmacotherapeutic treatment paradigms as well as potential future developments.
EXPERT OPINION: The exploration of pharmacotherapy for aphasia in vascular brain disorders and neurodegenerative diseases has received much attention in recent years with various therapeutic strategies having been put forward. In terms of whether pharmacotherapy is effective for the treatment of aphasia, there is still no clear-cut answer. Further research is needed with more studies requiring a greater emphasis on language and communication deficits. Biomarkers may also help clinicians provide their patients with a more personalized treatment plan.
The intervention will address multiple risk factors related to behaviour through placing traffic wardens at school crossing points. The assumption is that school traffic wardens situated at safe crossing points will increase yield rates of drivers to pedestrians and reduce the risk of pedestrian motor-vehicle collision. They will be placed at safe locations. Visibility and safety at pedestrian crossings will be enhanced by one trained school traffic warden placed a designated safe crossing point. The school traffic warden will assist pupils in crossing at all times during peak hours i.e. 6:00am-8:00am; 01:00pm-02:00pm; 03:00-07:00pm. In total, 11 school traffic wardens will under-go a 3 day road safety training prior to the start of the study. A similar follow up training will be conducted after 3 months and these will be motivated with non-monetary incentives e.g. high visibility jackets and a "lollipop" stop sign.
INTRODUCTION: Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most common severe symptoms of diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia can lead to tissue damage and inflammation due to mediators such as receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE). Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the association between the G82S polymorphism of the RAGE gene and diabetic nephropathy in diabetic patients.
METHODS: In this case-control study, 356 participants (158 men and 198 women) of Asian race, aged 45 to 65 years, who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus based on their fasting plasma glucose levels were enrolled. DNA was isolated from the participants' blood samples and genotyped using TETRA -Primer ARMS-PCR. Serum protein concentration of soluble RAGE (sRAGE) was also determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
RESULTS: Although we found differences in genotyping of participants between homozygous AA and GG and heterozygous GA in the studied groups, the differences were not significant (P = .568). In addition, we found no significant correlation between the G82S polymorphism of RAGE and the development of diabetic nephropathy. Serum levels of sRAGE were only slightly decreased in patients with diabetic nephropathy compared with diabetic patients (P > .05).
CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate no significant association between the G82S polymorphism in the gene RAGE and the development of diabetic nephropathy. Serum levels of sRAGE were only slightly decreased in patients with diabetic nephropathy compared to diabetic patients without nephropathy. Therefore, the study suggests that there is probably no association between the G82S polymorphism in the gene RAGE and the development of diabetic nephropathy. DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7872.
This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for real time unobtrusive monitoring of physiological signals of a subject confined to a bed. Output of single channel continuous wave (CW) radars are dependent upon distance of the subject from the radar. Dual channel IQ radars are more accurate but are costly and availability in the market is a constraint. The present disclosure provides a cheap and easily replicable pseudo IQ radar based system. The pseudo IQ radar comprises two CW radars placed at a calibrated distance from each other such that optimum points of one CW radar spatially overlaps null points of the other CW radar and phase imbalance is suppressed. Three such pseudo IQ radars are positioned in a predetermined configuration around the subject being monitored. A Supervised Complex Signal Demodulation (SCSD) method configured to suppress amplitude and DC imbalance is also provided for evaluating the physiological signals.

To explore the effect of Internet + combined family empowerment management mode on treatment compliance of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the correlation between psychological status and disease progression. A total of 100 patients with CKD treated in our hospital from October 2020 to October 2021 were screened and analyzed, and randomly divided into combined group and traditional group according to the number table method, with 50 patients in each group. The traditional group was implemented with the conventional chronic disease management mode, and the combined group was implemented with the Internet + combined family empowerment management mode. The differences in compliance, self-efficacy, psychological status and renal function indexes of each group were compared. Mmas-8 compliance score and GSES score showed an increasing trend. Compared with the traditional group, T2-T4MMAS-8 score and GSES score in the combined group were significantly increased with statistical differences (P \< 0.05). The levels of BUN, Scr, SAS and SDS showed a decreasing trend. Compared with the traditional group, the levels of four indexes T2-T4 in the combined group were significantly decreased with statistical differences (P \< 0.05). BUN, Scr were positively correlated with SAS and SDS (P\< 0.05). Internet + combined family empowerment management model can effectively improve renal function, negative psychological clarity, self-efficacy and medication compliance of CKD patients, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
Pregnancy Category C \- Pregnant rabbits were treated with up to 100 mg/kg/day of atomoxetine by gavage throughout the period of organogenesis. At this dose, in 1 of 3 studies, a decrease in live fetuses and an increase in early resorptions was observed. Slight increases in the incidences of atypical origin of carotid artery and absent subclavian artery were observed. These findings were observed at doses that caused slight maternal toxicity. The no-effect dose for these findings was 30 mg/kg/day. The 100 mg/kg dose is approximately 23 times the maximum human dose on a mg/m 2 basis; plasma levels (AUC) of atomoxetine at this dose in rabbits are estimated to be 3.3 times (extensive metabolizers) or 0.4 times (poor metabolizers) those in humans receiving the maximum human dose. 

Rats were treated with up to approximately 50 mg/kg/day of atomoxetine (approximately 6 times the maximum human dose on a mg/m 2 basis) in the diet from 2 weeks (females) or 10 weeks (males) prior to mating through the periods of organogenesis and lactation. In 1 of 2 studies, decreases in pup weight and pup survival were observed. The decreased pup survival was also seen at 25 mg/kg (but not at 13 mg/kg). In a study in which rats were treated with atomoxetine in the diet from 2 weeks (females) or 10 weeks (males) prior to mating throughout the period of organogenesis, a decrease in fetal weight (female only) and an increase in the incidence of incomplete ossification of the vertebral arch in fetuses were observed at 40 mg/kg/day (approximately 5 times the maximum human dose on a mg/m 2 basis) but not at 20 mg/kg/day. 

No adverse fetal effects were seen when pregnant rats were treated with up to 150 mg/kg/day (approximately 17 times the maximum human dose on a mg/m 2 basis) by gavage throughout the period of organogenesis. 

No adequate and well-controlled studies have been conducted in pregnant women. Atomoxetine should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
