BACKGROUND: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious human health threat given its high morbidity and mortality. Timely and effective antiviral treatment can postpone liver disease progression and reduce the occurrence of HBV-related end-stage liver disease. At present, the antiviral treatment criteria are mainly based on alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, HBV DNA levels and HBV e antigen levels according to the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases treatment guidelines. However, some chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients not meeting the above criteria still experience liver disease progression without antiviral treatment. It is urgent to identify a more comprehensive tool to screen out more antiviral treatment candidates as soon as possible.
METHODS: Considering the vital role of the immune response in the development of HBV infection and CHB cure, we collected data from 335 treatment-naïve CHB patients and comprehensively analysed their clinical and immune traits (including innate and adaptive responses). The immune parameters were obtained by flow cytometry. Finally, we established a model that can better distinguished CHB patients who need treatment through machine learning and LASSO regression of serological and immune parameters.
RESULTS: Through a series of analyses, we selected four important clinical parameters (ALT, HBV DNA, the Fibroscan value, and the A/G ratio) and four immune indicators (NKbright + NKp44+, NKbright + NKG2A+, NKT+GranzymeB+, and CD3 + CD107a + ) from more than 200 variables and then successfully established a mathematical model with high sensitivity and specificity to better screen out antiviral treatment candidates from all CHB patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results developed a refined model to better screen out antiviral treatment candidates from all CHB patients by combining common clinical parameters and important immune indicators, including innate and adaptive immunity. These findings provide more information for improving treatment guidelines and have potential implications for the timing of antiviral therapy to achieve better virus control and reduce the occurrence of end-stage liver disease.

The use of radio contrast medium enhances the image quality of CT scans. However, contrast CT is avoided in patients with CKD for fear of contrast-induced nephropathy. The current standard of care for these patients is CT without contrast. Taking advantage of fast scanning capabilities of modern CT scanners (64-Multi-Detector CT), the current investigators have developed a method to use low volume iso-osmolar non-ionic radio contrast medium (30 cc) which can be used in a selected group of adult patients with mild to moderate stable CKD (eGFR 16-60 ml/min/m\^2 for at least 12 months), who require thoracic CT imaging for diagnostic purposes. Up to 100 patients who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized to standard care (no-contrast, 50 controls) or low volume contrast CT (50 intervention group). The peak increase of serum creatinine levels within 72 hours after the CT procedure will be measured as an outcome variable for comparison between the two groups, as well as a safety monitoring variable in the intervention group (25% increase is the upper threshold).
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is a potent inhibitor of tumor growth and angiogenesis. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that are involved in the inhibition of tumor growth by the type 1 repeats (TSRs), recombinant versions of these motifs have been produced and have been assayed for their ability to inhibit the growth of experimental B16F10 and Lewis lung carcinomas. Recombinant proteins that contain all three TSRs (3TSR) or the second TSR with (TSR2+RFK) or without (TSR2) the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) activating sequence (RFK) have been expressed in ∫i⊃Drosophila∫/i⊃ S2 cells. A recombinant protein containing all three type 1 repeats of TSP-2 and a recombinant protein containing the second TSR with the RFK sequence altered to QFK have also been produced. The data indicate that the TSRs inhibit tumor growth by inhibition of angiogenesis and regulation of tumor cell growth and apoptosis. The regulation of tumor cell growth and apoptosis is RFK-dependent while the inhibition of angiogenesis is not. The invention relates to polypeptides based on the amino acid sequence of human TSP-1 type 1 repeats. The polypeptides, variants, fragments and mutants thereof can be made by recombinant methods or can be made by chemical synthesis. The polypeptides can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions and used in methods of therapy to reduce tumor growth.

Second-year into the deadly COVID-19 pandemic and humanity continues to get affected/infected. The world has seen a total cases of 99.7 M, a death toll of 2.14 M, and counting4. To date, Pakistan has received more than a million cases with a death count of over twenty-five thousand5. In a country like Pakistan, the burden on intensive care is substantial. So any intervention, before the patient lands in critical care units will greatly decrease the workload on the already saturated intensive care.

While the developed world has launched mass vaccination, the masses in developing countries are yet to be vaccinated. Despite the fact that vaccines have been launched in the developed world but their widespread availability in developing countries is still ambiguous6. The disease will continue to affect a larger population in the days to come so the search for new therapeutic agents must not cease. It is a fact that protective lung ventilation with low tidal volumes decreases mortality, off-label use of effective therapeutic agents that can decrease the progression to ARDS will be greatly beneficial7. There is growing evidence that ARDS secondary to Covid-19 is associated with disseminated intravascular and alveolar fibrin deposition8. Strategies to reduce mucous and fibrin plugs will greatly help patients. Nebulization of heparin may offer benefits over systemic administration because nebulization enhances delivery to the bronchial tree and the alveolar sacs and hence reduces the potential for systemic bleeding associated with intravenous administration. Moreover, heparin in nebulized form has greatly reduced levels of coagulation activation in the lungs both in animal studies and in patients with acute lung injury. As Heparin prevents further fibrin deposition but is ineffective in the removal of pre-existing fibrin plug, so early use of heparin during the course of the disease may help in limiting the complications of ARDS. Furthermore, it will also reduce the burden of patients in intensive care units. In this study, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial to see the effects of heparin in non-severe and severe COVID-19 patients to prevent progression to invasive mechanical ventilation or death.

BACKGROUND: m6A regulators have important roles in a variety of autoimmune diseases, but their potential function in scleroderma, a refractory connective tissue disease, remains unclear. Tenascin C (TNC) is known to be a factor promoting collagen deposition in the development of scleroderma, but the regulatory relationship between TNC and m6A regulators is unknown.
METHODS: We extracted GSE33463 data consisting of forty-one healthy controls and sixty-one patients with scleroderma, and we analyzed the expression levels of twenty-one m6A regulators as well as the associations between them. In addition, we obtained random forest (RF) and nomogram models to predict the likehood of scleroderma. Next, we categorized the m6Aclusters and geneclusters by consensus clustering, and we performed an immune cell infiltration analysis for each cluster. Finally, we injected adenoviruses into a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model of scleroderma, which was used to overexpress FTO and TNC. We assess the extent of skin fibrosis in the mice samples using pathology stains and measuring their hydroxyproline content and collagen mRNA.
RESULTS: We initially identified fourteen differentially expressed m6A regulators (WTAP, RBM15, CBLL1, FTO, ALKBH5, YTHDC1, YTHDC2, YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, RBMX, HNRNPC, IGFBP1 and IGFBP2). We found ALKBH5 to be positively associated with CBLL1 and RBM15, and FTO to be negatively associated with WTAP. In addition, we identified four m6A regulators (CBLL1, IGFBP1, YTHDF2 and IGFBP2) using a RF model, and we designed a nomogram model with those variables that proved reliable according to the calibration curve and clinical impact curve. We found that the m6Acluster A was correlated with Type 1 T helper cell infiltration and the genecluster A was correlated with regulatory T cell infiltration. Finally, we showed that FTO overexpression downregulated the m6A and mRNA levels of TNC, and alleviated skin fibrosis in the mouse model of scleroderma. Thus, our overexpression experiments provide preliminary evidence suggesting that TNC is an adverse factor in scleroderma.
CONCLUSION: Our approach might be useful as a new and accurate scleroderma diagnosis method. Moreover, our results suggested that FTO/TNC might be a novel scleroderma therapeutic target.
In clinical trials hyperkalemia (serum potassium greater than 5.7 mEq/L) occurred in approximately 2.2% of hypertensive patients and 4.8% of patients with heart failure. In most cases these were isolated values which resolved despite continued therapy. Hyperkalemia was a cause of discontinuation of therapy in approximately 0.1% of hypertensive patients, 0.6% of patients with heart failure and 0.1% of patients with myocardial infarction. Risk factors for the development of hyperkalemia include renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, and the concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements and/or potassium-containing salt substitutes. Hyperkalemia can cause serious, sometimes fatal, arrhythmias. Lisinopril should be used cautiously, if at all, with these agents and with frequent monitoring of serum potassium (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).

Intestinal disorders can affect pigs of any age, especially when animals are young and more susceptible to infections and environmental stressors. For instance, pathogenic E. coli can alter intestinal functions, thus leading to altered nutrient adsorption by interacting with local cells through lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Among several compounds studied to counteract the negative effects on the intestine, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) were demonstrated to exert beneficial effects on gut epithelial cells and resident immune cells. In this study, acetate and propionate were tested for their beneficial effects in a co-culture model of IPEC-J2 and porcine PBMC pre-stimulated with LPS from E. coli 0111:B4 aimed at mimicking the interaction between intestinal cells and immune cells in an inflammatory/activated status. IPEC-J2 viability was partially reduced when co-cultured with activated PBMC and nitric oxide concentration increased. IPEC-J2 up-regulated innate and inflammatory markers, namely BD-1, TLR-4, IL-8, TNF-α, NF-κB, and TGF-β. Acetate and propionate positively modulated the inflammatory condition by sustaining cell viability, reducing the oxidative stress, and down-regulating the expression of inflammatory mediators. TNF-α expression and secretion showed an opposite effect in IPEC-J2 depending on the extent of LPS stimulation of PBMC and TGF-β modulation. Therefore, SCFA proved to mediate a differential effect depending on the degree and duration of inflammation. The expression of the tight junction proteins (TJp) claudin-4 and zonula occludens-1 was up-regulated by LPS while SCFA influenced TJp with a different kinetics depending on PBMC stimulation. The co-culture model of IPEC-J2 and LPS-activated PBMC proved to be feasible to address the modulation of markers related to anti-bacterial immunity and inflammation, and intestinal epithelial barrier integrity, which are involved in the in vivo responsiveness and plasticity to infections.
It is becoming apparent that both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-associated fractures. A meta-analysis by Vestergaard showed that patients with type 1 DM have decreased bone mineral density and increased fracture risk. This study noted a 6.9 relative risk of hip fracture, when the expected relative risk of fracture was only 1.4 based on the BMD. This finding suggests that the increased fracture risk is not entirely accounted for by the lower BMD. It has been demonstrated that the presence of diabetic microvascular complications, including ophthalmic, nephropathic, and neurological, lead to a higher risk of hip fracture in patients with type 1 DM. Unlike patients with type 1 DM, patients with type 2 DM have an average or higher BMD than age-matched controls. However, several studies have demonstrated that patients with type 2 DM have a higher risk of hip, proximal humerus, and foot fractures. Data from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study indicate that post-menopausal women with diabetes are at an increased risk of hip, foot, and spine fractures, and fractures overall. For a given BMD, diabetic bone appears to be less strong and therefore more likely to fracture. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, insulin, bone morphogenetic proteins and osteoprotegerin (OPG), serve as anabolic signals to promote bone formation. Among these anabolic mediators, liver-derived IGF-1 is of particular interest since profound growth retardation, small bone size, low BMD and osteoporosis were reported in IGF-1 and IGF-1 receptor deficiencies. Furthermore, insulin was found to directly induce osteogenic action by increasing cell proliferation, differentiation, alkaline phosphatase activity and expression of type Ⅰcollagen and osteocalcin in human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. Type 1 DM featuring low circulating insulin and IGF-1 levels usually occurs in young children prior to peak bone mass attainment, whereas type 2 DM is common in adults who have already attained peak bone mass.
This study explores low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LiESWT)'s efficacy in alleviating detrusor hyperactivity with impaired contractility (DHIC) induced by ovarian hormone deficiency (OHD) in ovariectomized rats. The rats were categorized into the following four groups: sham group; OVX group, subjected to bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) for 12 months to induce OHD; OVX + SW4 group, underwent OHD for 12 months followed by 4 weeks of weekly LiESWT; and OVX + SW8 group, underwent OHD for 12 months followed by 8 weeks of weekly LiESWT. Cystometrogram studies and voiding behavior tracing were used to identify the symptoms of DHIC. Muscle strip contractility was evaluated through electrical-field, carbachol, ATP, and KCl stimulations. Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses were performed to assess the expressions of various markers related to bladder dysfunction. The OVX rats exhibited significant bladder deterioration and overactivity, alleviated by LiESWT. LiESWT modified transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channel expression, regulating calcium concentration and enhancing bladder capacity. It also elevated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress proteins, influencing ER-related Ca2+ channels and receptors to modulate detrusor muscle contractility. OHD after 12 months led to neuronal degeneration and reduced TRPV1 and TRPV4 channel activation. LiESWT demonstrated potential in enhancing angiogenic remodeling, neurogenesis, and receptor response, ameliorating DHIC via TRPV channels and cellular signaling in the OHD-induced DHIC rat model.
