The well-being and functioning of individuals with chronic pain (CP) vary significantly. Social factors, such as social integration, may help explain this differential impact. Specifically, structural (network size, density) as well as functional (perceived social support, conflict) social network characteristics may play a role. However, it is not yet clear whether and how these variables are associated with each other. Objectives were to examine 1) both social network characteristics in individuals with primary and secondary CP, 2) the association between structural network characteristics and mental distress and functioning/participation in daily life, and 3) whether the network's functionality mediated the association between structural network characteristics and mental distress, respectively, functioning/participation in daily life. Using an online ego-centered social network tool, cross-sectional data were collected from 303 individuals with CP (81.85% women). No significant differences between individuals with fibromyalgia versus secondary CP were found regarding network size and density. In contrast, ANCOVA models showed lower levels of perceived social support and higher levels of conflict in primary (vs secondary) CP. Structural equation models showed that 1) larger network size indirectly predicted lower mental distress via lower levels of conflict; 2) higher network density increased mental distress via the increase of conflict levels. Network size or density did not (in)directly predict functioning/participation in daily life. The findings highlight that the role of conflict, in addition to support, should not be underestimated as a mediator for mental well-being. Research on explanatory mechanisms for associations between the network's structure, functionality, and well-being is warranted. PERSPECTIVE: This paper presents results on associations between structural (network size, density) and functional (social support, conflict) social network characteristics and well-being in the context of CP by making use of an ego-centered network design. Results suggest an indirect association between structural network characteristics and individuals with CP their mental well-being.
The objective of this study is to investigate the beneficial effects and underlying mechanism of dietary β-mannanase supplementation on the productive performance of laying hens fed with metabolic energy (ME)-reduced diets. A total of 448 Hy-Line gray laying hens were randomly assigned to seven groups. Each group had 8 replicates with 8 hens. The groups included a control diet (CON) with a ME of 2750 kcal/Kg, diets reduced by 100 kcal/Kg or 200 kcal/Kg ME (ME_100 or ME_200), and diets with 0.15 g/Kg or 0.2 g/Kg β-mannanase (ME_100+β-M_0.15, ME_100+β-M_0.2, ME_200+β-M_0.15, and ME_200+β-M_0.2). The productive performance, egg quality, intestinal morphology, inflammatory response, mRNA expression related to the Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and AMPK pathway, and cecum microbiome were evaluated in this study. ME-reduced diets negatively impacted the productive performance of laying hens. However, supplementation with β-mannanase improved FCR, decreased ADFI, and restored average egg weight to the level of the CON group. ME-reduced diets increased the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-6 while decreasing the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in the jejunum of laying hens. However, dietary β-mannanase supplementation improved jejunum morphology, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations, and increased levels of anti-inflammatory factors in laying hens fed with ME-reduced diets. The mRNA levels of IL-6, IFN-γ, TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB in the jejunum of ME-reduced diets were significantly higher than that in CON, dietary β-mannanase supplementation decreased these genes expression in laying hens fed with ME-reduced diets. Moreover, dietary β-mannanase supplementation also decreased the mRNA levels of AMPKα and AMPKγ, and increased the abundance of mTOR in the jejunum of laying hens fed with ME-reduced diets. Cecum microbiota analysis revealed that dietary β-mannanase increased the abundance of various beneficial bacteria (e.g., g_Pseudoflavonifractor, g_Butyricicoccus, and f_Lactobacillaceae) in laying hens fed with ME-reduced diets. In conclusion, dietary β-mannanase supplementation could improve the productive performance of laying hens fed with a ME-reduced diet by improving intestinal morphology, alleviating intestinal inflammation, changing energy metabolism-related signaling pathways, and increasing cecum-beneficial microbiota.
Patients having an ISI score \> 7 but \< 15 (n = 65), will all receive first a web-based CBT-I for six weeks. Each week, the patients will first have to read written information on the website, and then watch a video capsule (duration between 5 and 20 min each). Patients with an ISI score \> 14 (n = 53) will receive six weekly sessions of CBT-I administered individually by a professional.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, providing a reference for developing targeted PONV prevention and management strategies.
METHODS: Using a consecutive sampling method, 200 lung cancer patients who underwent their first thoracoscopic surgery under general anesthesia between November 18, 2021, and March 1, 2022, at a tertiary class A cancer hospital in Liaoning Province, China, were selected. The occurrence of PONV within 24 h post-operation was assessed using WHO Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Rating Criteria. Patient general information, surgical and medication data were systematically collected to analyze the independent influencing factors of PONV.
RESULTS: Among the 200 patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery under general anesthesia, 75 (37.5%) experienced PONV. Logistic regression analysis indicated that being female, having a history of motion sickness, and a history of PONV were independent risk factors for the occurrence of PONV in these patients. Long-acting antiemetics such as penehyclidine hydrochloride and methylprednisolone were protective factors against PONV.
CONCLUSION: The incidence of PONV in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery under general anesthesia is relatively high. Nursing staff should focus on female patients and those with a history of motion sickness and PONV. Comprehensive preoperative assessments should be conducted, exploring multimodal analgesia and applying integrated prevention measures to reduce the occurrence of PONV and promote the rapid recovery of patients.

Despite increased attention on caries prevention, not all children receive preventive treatments and large numbers still experience tooth decay. Primary care providers have had little option other than invasive and costly specialist treatment in the hospital under general anesthesia. In this context, there is interest in simple treatments to halt progress of carious lesions after tooth decay onset. Among these simple treatments is silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment. The major drawback to SDF treatment has been its black staining, which has limited its use. To counter the staining, researchers have tested SDF treatment immediately followed with application of saturated solution of potassium iodide (KI).
OBJECTIVES: The gut microbiota plays an important role in childhood growth. Our longitudinal cohort includes children with cystic fibrosis (CwCF) treated with highly effective modulator therapy. We aimed to elucidate early premodulator microbial signatures associated with postmodulator weight for CwCF later in childhood.
METHODS: Stool samples were collected from CwCF at 13 days to 60 months. Metagenomic sequencing determined differentially abundant taxa. Children with body mass index or weight for length Z-scores within 1 standard deviation of the mean (SD) were considered normal weight, those >1 SD were classified as risk of overweight while children <1 SD were considered undernourished, although no CwCF met this latter criterion here. Multivariate regression models were applied to identify significant associations between metadata and microbial taxonomic relative abundances.
RESULTS: One hundred and eighty-nine stool samples were analyzed from 39 CwCF. We identified statistically significant differences in early microbiome patterns among those at risk of being overweight compared to those who were normal weight when adjusted for age, sex, CF mutation, and early feeding method. Early microbiome was a stronger driver of growth status than current modulator use. Among those at risk of overweight, several taxa that were consistently in lower abundance included Eggerthella lentha, Ruminococcus, Bacteroides, with increase in abundance of Bacteroides stercoris.
CONCLUSIONS: The early microbiome strongly predicts growth in the setting of modulator use for CwCF and we identify microbiome signatures associated with risk of being overweight. We highlight the possibility for interventions or early alternations to nutritional guidance for prevention of comorbid complications.
Social anxiety is highly prevalent in people with schizophrenia and represents a major obstacle to positive functional outcomes. Social anxiety is a treatable condition but has, in the context of psychosis, received only scant attention thus far. Current existing manualized treatment for social anxiety may not be optimal for people with schizophrenia for a number of reasons described above. An adapted CBT intervention for schizophrenia must target the stigma attached to the illness, the presence of poor social skills, the presence of delusional and persecutory ideas, possible limited reading abilities, and associated cognitive deficits. The investigators propose to develop and test an adapted group CBT for social anxiety. The main objective of this research proposal is to contrast the impact of a CBT intervention for the treatment of social anxiety in schizophrenia with standard care (care as usual) on reducing symptoms of social anxiety. Considering the relationship between certain characteristics of social anxiety (e.g. social withdrawal) with diminished quality of life and poor functional outcome, a secondary objective is to examine the impact of reduced social anxiety on functional outcome.
CAD is the most common type of heart disease in the United States. It occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become hardened and narrowed because of a build-up of cholesterol and plaque on the inner walls of the arteries. Over time, less blood is able to flow through the arteries, depriving the heart of the blood and oxygen it needs. If left untreated, CAD can lead to heart failure, heart attack, and arrhythmias. Someone with plaque build-up may undergo a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to unblock the narrowed arteries and increase blood flow. PCI encompasses a variety of procedures, including balloon angioplasty and stent placement. In balloon angioplasty, a small balloon is inserted into the heart artery and then inflated. This pushes the plaque against the artery walls and widens the artery. Stents are wire mesh tubes that are permanently implanted in the artery to keep it propped open. Although balloon angioplasty and stent placement procedures open up blockages in the large vessels of the heart, the tiny vessels of the heart may become blocked after these procedures, which may affect how the heart heals. This study will use MRI to examine heart function in people who have undergone PCI procedures. Study researchers will attempt to define how often blockages of the tiny vessels occur after PCI procedures, the factors that lead to the blockages, and how often blockages affect healing of the heart.

This study will enroll people who are undergoing a PCI procedure. Participants will undergo an MRI scan of the heart before and after the PCI procedure. During the 72 hours after the procedure, electrocardiogram (EKG) will be used to monitor heart electrical activity. At a study visit 10 days after the PCI procedure and at a follow-up visit 6 to 12 months later, participants will undergo an MRI, EKG, and blood collection. Study staff will call participants every 6 months for 5 years to collect medical information.
Experimental Subjects will be randomized to receive 10 sessions of both active treatments. Stimulation will be given on consecutive days (Monday- Friday) for 2 weeks: rTMS at 10 Hz (1600 pulses) over the primary motor cortex area and neurofunctional electrical acupuncture at 1Hz, continuous, 10mA current for 20 minutes over peripheral region.
Chemokines regulate leukocyte navigation to inflamed sites and specific tissue locales and may therefore be useful for ensuring accurate homing of cell therapeutic products. We, and others, have shown that atypical chemokine receptor 2 (ACKR2)-deficient mice (ACKR2-/-) are protected from metastasis development in cell line and spontaneous mouse models. We have shown that this relates to enhanced CCR2 expression on ACKR2-/- natural killer cells, allowing them to home more effectively to CCR2 ligand-expressing metastatic deposits. Here we demonstrate that the metastatic-suppression phenotype in ACKR2-/- mice is not a direct effect of the absence of ACKR2. Instead, enhanced natural killer cell CCR2 expression is caused by passenger mutations that originate from the creation of the ACKR2-/- mouse strain in 129 embryonic stem cells. We further demonstrate that simple selection of CCR2+ natural killer cells enriches for a population of cells with enhanced antimetastatic capabilities. Given the widespread expression of CCR2 ligands by tumors, our study highlights CCR2 as a potentially important contributor to natural killer cell tumoricidal cell therapy.
In Study 1, a 10 year-old patient was administered a PANCREAZE dose of 12,399 lipase units/kg/day for the duration of the open-label and randomized withdrawal periods (21 days). The patient experienced mild abdominal pain throughout both study periods. Abnormal chemistry data at the end of the study included mild elevations of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and serum phosphate. Abnormal hematology data at the end of the study included mild elevations of hematocrit. No abnormalities from analyses of urinalysis or uric acid were noted.

CareSmarts is a mobile diabetes program that provides self-management support and team-based care management for people with diabetes through automated SMS messages. The program is a theory-driven behavioral intervention designed to improve self-care through multiple mediators, including cuing, education, self-efficacy, social support, and health beliefs. Participants in the program receive educational and motivational text messages about diabetes self-care, some prompts to engage in a particular action (for example, "Time to check your blood sugar"), and some self-assessment questions (such as, "Do you need refills of any of your medications?") to which the patient responds by texting. Participants' responses to self-assessment questions are used to facilitate remote monitoring and care management by the health care team. A response that is outside established parameters triggers an alert. Using protocols, nurses respond to each alert by the next business day.
Displaced pediatric distal radius fractures are treated with fracture reduction and cast immobilization. Currently, at our institution (and many others) radiographic assessment to determine acceptable fracture alignment and cast parameters is done immediately after cast application. However, afterward casts are often split on both sides along their length, in a process known as bivalving, prophylactically treating for post-traumatic soft tissue edema. While bivalving is felt to relieve pressure from the cast, it may also diminish the structural integrity of the cast. Although it is well-established that loss of fracture alignment is most common in the first few weeks after fracture reduction there have been no studies to evaluate any immediate changes to fracture reduction or cast parameters that may occur after bivalving. Thus, the goal of this study was to assess if pediatric distal radius fracture alignment was affected by cast bivalving by obtaining post-bivalve radiographs in addition to standard post-cast radiographs.
For this project, the CVS Pharmacy Health Foundation has identified after-school, school, and youth programs nationwide with whom to partner. For this project, the play2PREVENT Lab will provide these programs access to the tobacco use reduction/prevention game that the lab has created (smokeSCREEN). Program and school staff will enroll participants between the ages of 10-16 to play smokeSCREEN during their after school, school, and youth program. Before and after gameplay, participants will answer assessment questions related to their attitudes, beliefs, knowledge, intentions, and behaviors around smoking and tobacco product use. The data will be transmitted electronically via the LimeSurvey data collection platform to the Lab, for further analysis. None of the Lab staff will have contact with participants or after-school/school/youth program coordinators or staff.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy（BNCT） is an advanced cell-scale binary targeted radiotherapy technology that combines the advantages of targeted therapy and heavy ion therapy. BNCT provides a neutron source from a reactor or a medical accelerator. At the same time, the patient needs to be pre-injected with a boron-containing drug containing a non-radioactive boron 10 isotope. The boron drug enters the body and accumulates specifically in cancer cells. The patient receives epithermal neutron beam irradiation with high linear energy transfer (Linear EnergyTransferLET), thereby achieving the effect of killing tumor cells. Purpose，BNCT has more advantages over conventional radiotherapy, and normal tissue is better preserved than conventional radiotherapy.

PET imaging is a useful and effective technique to give absolute quantitative and biological distribution data of BPA in a non-invasive manner, and can add important characteristic parameters such as T/N ratio, SUV and Kinetic parameters. Given the complexity of BNCT, PET and PET/CT is currently the new standard for designing patient recruitment: The Methodology of L-18F-BPA PET is an important tool to design clinical trials , estimate the size of tumor and indicate the concentration ratio of BPA in surrounding normal tissues. Following this principle, researchers can accurately identify which patients can benefit from BNCT treatment through the selective accumulation of BPA in individual tumors. PET scans can provide a three-dimensional map of the boron distribution, which can be used for macroscopic dose calculations in the BNCT conventional neutron transmission code. Because most of the dose absorbed by living cells (65%) comes from the 10B(n,a)7Li response, the distribution of boron determines the variability of the main absorbed dose in the treatment plan. As a result, therapeutic schedule will be improved because the boron distribution will greatly affect the isodose line. Routine calculations provide a wider range of isodose contours, whereas PET produces contours that more closely approximate the observed clinical results of BNCT.
