The invention discloses a combined prescription for treating dermexanthesis. The prescription is composed of 16 formulas and is prepared by the following steps: grinding the traditional Chinese herbals and materials in the formulas, sieving by an 80-100 mesh sieve, mixing all powder together, and evenly mixing. The prescription comprises tens of traditional Chinese herbals, which all have a good effect on treating dermexanthesis. The traditional Chinese herbals are combined together to generate a synergetic effect, and the curative effect of the prescription is strengthened. The prescription can be taken orally, or can be made into liquid for external application. The effect is better, if the prescription is orally taken and smeared on skin at the same time. The patients do not need to have an injection or avoid some certain food after using the prescription, and the curative rate can reach 90% or more.
Moderate risk PICU patients are all other admissions to the ICU (may have either mechanical ventilation or inotropy/vasopressor use but not both). Cannot have a history of transplant. Minimum expected stay 48 hours.
A thermostream surgical instrument for coagulation and dissection of the biological tissues comprises the manipulator connected to the service unit with the aid of least one flexible tubing. The service unit contains the compressor and the power supply. The manipulator is designed as a tube with the heating unit for the operating air flow installed coaxially inside. The latter represents nichrome wire coiled onto the ceramic capillary with both ends soldered to the copper conducting wires oriented unilaterally and connected to the power supply. The heating unit is placed inside the ceramic tube containing microslit nozzle attached tightly at the outlet section of the tube. To the opposite end of the tube, the flexible internal tubing is attached with the conducting wires inside.
A computerized medical diagnostic system uses a training data set that is updated based on radiologist feedback. The radiologist incorporates a 3D cursor into the inventory method of his cross-sectional imaging study. CAD and/or AI algorithms are performed on the sub-volumes. Findings identified by the AI/CAD algorithm can be presented to the radiologist through a subdivided and filtered unobstructed view. A method of using a "virtual bucket" to determine a divergence between an AI and a radiologist. The radiologist performs image labeling, labels the images using the lookup terms, diagnosis, and certainty level, and then adds a sub-volume in each bucket, thereby expanding the training data set for subsequent AI algorithms.
The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of using N-of-1 methods in a virtual research study; to remotely recruit and enroll participants; to assess the feasibility of using a placebo and to determine the feasibility of the proposed methods used to collect and assess participant adherence and response to a wellness strategy (in this case, melatonin for poor sleep quality). This pilot will help determine if an N-of-1 study design, or what has been termed 'Personalized Trials', can have widespread use in future research and clinical practice to address high public health burdens with a high heterogeneity of response. This pilot study will assess feasibility using a Personalized Trials model to evaluate an individual participant's experience with a wellness strategy for self-reported poor sleep quality. Participants (N=60) will be sent a Fitbit device and 3 smart pill bottles, with one containing 3 mg of melatonin, one containing 0.5 mg of melatonin, and the final bottle containing placebo pills. Participants will be asked several questions a day sent via text message about their sleep quality, as well as their stress, fatigue, concentration, confidence, mood, and pain levels to demonstrate relevant secondary impacts of sleep quality. Participants will also have access to several videos explaining the protocol. The study will take place over the course of 14 weeks. The first two weeks will be a baseline period, where no supplement is assigned, but data are collected, including self-report of sleep quality and duration and accelerometer-derived sleep and activity data. After successful completion of the baseline period, participants will be randomized to six 2-week intervention blocks of a 3 mg dose melatonin, a 0.5 mg dose melatonin, and a placebo. At the end of the 14 weeks, a report containing the individual's observed data will be prepared for each participant and electronically sent to them along with a satisfaction survey (electronic, or phone/video call if they are non-responders).

After the end of the 14-week trial, participants will receive a summary of their observed data in a personalized report. Creating this type of report will help to assess the feasibility of using a N-of-1 trial design through user-acceptability of sleep quality and wellness-related data visualizations, and the ability to choose preferred intervention (if any) based on the data. Participants will be asked to complete the System Usability Scale, a satisfaction survey (electronic or phone/video call if they are non-responders), and participate in a virtual interview (such as over Microsoft Teams or a phone call) to inform feasibility and acceptability of protocol requirements, study materials, and personalized reports.
Most patients with pulmonary AVMs have underlying hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). If there is a difference between pulmonary AVM and control groups that does not correct following embolization of pulmonary AVMs, a group of up to 30 people with HHT but no evidence of pulmonary AVMs will be selected to have a cardiopulmonary exercise test and a blood test.
This is a randomized clinical trial to assess whether a subject centered, self-collection of dried blood spots (DBS) samples will improve compliance with the clinical recommendation of weekly Cytomegalovirus (CMV) testing of Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients who are at high risk for late CMV disease. In this study, mobile devices will be used to remind HCT survivors to perform CMV monitoring using finger-stick collected DBS testing in their home setting or to visit their doctor's office to perform the test. 150 allogeneic HCT recipients \> /= 15 years of age will be randomized (2:1) to DBS monitoring or standard of care (per local institution) monitoring. Duration of study participation is anticipated to be within a range of 26 weeks to 43 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate adherence to recommended CMV monitoring duration and interval during the first year after HCT upon enrollment using subject collected dried blood spot testing. The secondary objectives are 1) To evaluate the mean difference between the recommended monitoring that each subject completes between the DBS and the control arm. 2) To compare the incidence of CMV disease between the DBS monitoring and standard of care arm; 3) To evaluate the safety of DBS monitoring.

Additionally, an observational cohort of 450 HCT recipients, who consented for retrospective studies and meet eligibility criteria but are not participating in the DBS testing for CMV, will be used to assess whether randomized study sample is representative of the BDS study population and to obtain a population-based estimate of late CMV disease.
Triple-negative breast cancer refers to breast cancer with negative human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor. Triple-negative breast cancer has poor differentiation, high invasiveness and high recurrence rate, accounting for 15.0%-23.8% of breast cancer. Due to the phenotypic specificity of triple-negative breast cancer, both targeted therapy and endocrine therapy are insensitive, making chemotherapy an important part in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.

In 1982, Frei proposed the concept of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which is to apply chemotherapy before surgery for malignant tumors. Chemotherapy can reduce the size of tumors to some extent, even eliminate micrometastases, detect the sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs, and create opportunities for patients to have breast-conserving or surgical treatment. For triple-negative breast cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy with synchronous combination of anthracyclines and taxanes or intensive sequential combination of anthracyclines and taxanes is the first choice. Simultaneously, chemotherapeutic drugs such as platinum, albumin, and paclitaxel as well as poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors can be added according to the patient's condition. However, during neoadjuvant therapy, a CT or MRI test is needed to monitor the patient's condition, so if there is any deterioration, to consider changing the treatment plan or immediately performing surgery is necessary. However, because of the need for multiple imaging examinations during neoadjuvant therapy, which increases the medical costs, to explore a low cost inspection method is necessary.

Circulating tumor cells are a new type of tumor molecular marker. Circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood originate from breast cancer (primary and metastatic lesions) shedding. Detection of these circulating tumor cells may monitor the therapeutic effect on breast cancer. The cost of detecting circulating tumor cells is much lower than that of conventional PET-CT, which can noticeably reduce medical expenses of patients. However, there is no clinical study on the changes of circulating tumor cells and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer in and outside China. This study aims to explore the correlation between the changes of circulating tumor cells and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer, and to compare the time intervals between the changes of circulating tumor cells and the changes of efficacy in patients with different sensitivities of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, so as to provide experimental evidence for predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy by observing the changes of circulating tumor cells in clinic.
The recommended initial dosage of DEMSER for adults and children 12 years of age and older is 250 mg orally four times daily. This may be increased by 250 mg to 500 mg every day to a maximum of 4 g/day in divided doses. When used for preoperative preparation, the optimally effective dosage of DEMSER should be given for at least five to seven days.

Optimally effective dosages of DEMSER usually are between 2 and 3 g/day, and the dose should be titrated by monitoring clinical symptoms and catecholamine excretion. In patients who are hypertensive, dosage should be titrated to achieve normalization of blood pressure and control of clinical symptoms. In patients who are usually normotensive, dosage should be titrated to the amount that will reduce urinary metanephrines and/or vanillylmandelic acid by 50% or more.

If patients are not adequately controlled by the use of DEMSER, an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent (phenoxybenzamine) should be added.

Use of DEMSER in children under 12 years of age has been limited and a dosage schedule for this age group cannot be given.
Patients in the early diet group started oral intake 6 hours after ESWL of the day of procedure with a soft diet comprised 200 mL with 170 kilocalories. Observe closely until 24h, and then continue to fasting until the next ESWL/ERCP or change the diet to the general diet according to the actual clinical needs.
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the deadliest form of malignancy and the most common subtype is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Hypoxia is a typical feature of solid tumor microenvironment. In the current study, we clarified the effects of hypoxia on stemness and metastasis and the molecular mechanism.
METHODS: The biological functions were assessed using the sphere formation assay, Transwell assay, and XF96 extracellular flux analyzer. The protein levels were detected by western blot. The lactylation modification was assessed by western blot and immunoprecipitation. The role of SOX9 in vivo was explored using a xenografted tumor model.
RESULTS: We observed that hypoxia promoted sphere formation, migration, invasion, glucose consumption, lactate production, glycolysis, and global lactylation. Inhibition of glycolysis suppressed cell stemness, migration, invasion, and lactylation. Moreover, hypoxia increased the levels of SOX9 and lactylation of SOX9, whereas inhibition of glycolysis reversed the increase. Additionally, knockdown of SOX9 abrogated the promotion of cell stemness, migration, and invasion. In tumor-bearing mice, overexpression of SOX9 promoted tumor growth, and inhibition of glycolysis suppressed tumor growth.
CONCLUSION: Hypoxia induced the lactylation of SOX9 to promote stemness, migration, and invasion via promoting glycolysis. The findings suggested that targeting hypoxia may be an effective way for NSCLC treatment and reveal a new mechanism of hypoxia in NSCLC.
Custom-built research muscle stimulator. Muscle stimulator is set to provide sensory stimulation but will not cause an active muscle contraction. Stimulation is also delivered to the soleus muscle through two 5x5cm electrodes.
OBJECTIVE: For adolescents, DSM-5 differentiates anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical AN with the 5th BMI-centile-for-age. We hypothesized that the diagnostic weight cut-off yields (i) lower weight loss in atypical AN and (ii) discrepant premorbid BMI distributions between the two disorders. Prior studies demonstrate that premorbid BMI predicts admission BMI and weight loss in patients with AN. We explore these relationships in atypical AN.
METHOD: Based on admission BMI-centile < or ≥5th, participants included 411 female adolescent inpatients with AN and 49 with atypical AN from our registry study. Regression analysis and t-tests statistically addressed our hypotheses and exploratory correlation analyses compared interrelationships between weight loss, admission BMI, and premorbid BMI in both disorders.
RESULTS: Weight loss in atypical AN was 5.6 kg lower than in AN upon adjustment for admission age, admission height, premorbid weight and duration of illness. Premorbid BMI-standard deviation scores differed by almost one between both disorders. Premorbid BMI and weight loss were strongly correlated in both AN and atypical AN.
DISCUSSION: Whereas the weight cut-off induces discrepancies in premorbid weight and adjusted weight loss, AN and atypical AN overall share strong weight-specific interrelationships that merit etiological consideration. Epidemiological and genetic associations between AN and low body weight may reflect a skewed premorbid BMI distribution. In combination with prior findings for similar psychological and medical characteristics in AN and atypical AN, our findings support a homogenous illness conceptualization. We propose that diagnostic subcategorization based on premorbid BMI, rather than admission BMI, may improve clinical validity.
PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE: Because body weights of patients with AN must drop below the 5th BMI-centile per DSM-5, they will inherently require greater weight loss than their counterparts with atypical AN of the same sex, age, height and premorbid weight. Indeed, patients with atypical AN had a 5.6 kg lower weight loss after controlling for these variables. In comparison to the reference population, we found a lower and higher mean premorbid weight in patients with AN and atypical AN, respectively. Considering previous psychological and medical comparisons showing little differences between AN and atypical AN, we view a single disorder as the most parsimonious explanation. Etiological models need to particularly account for the strong relationship between weight loss and premorbid body weight.
Millimeter to nano-scale structures manufactured using a multi-component polymer fiber matrix are disclosed. The use of dissimilar polymers allows the selective dissolution of the polymers at various stages of the manufacturing process. In one application, biocompatible matrixes may be formed with long pore length and small pore size. The manufacturing process begins with a first polymer fiber arranged in a matrix formed by a second polymer fiber. End caps may be attached to provide structural support and the polymer fiber matrix selectively dissolved away leaving only the long polymer fibers. These may be exposed to another product, such as a biocompatible gel to form a biocompatible matrix. The polymer fibers may then be selectively dissolved leaving only a biocompatible gel scaffold with the pores formed by the dissolved polymer fibers. The scaffolds may be used in, among other applications, the repair of central and peripheral nerves. Scaffolds for the repair of peripheral nerves may include a reservoir for the sustained release of nerve growth factor. The scaffolds may also include a multifunctional polyelectrolyte layer for the sustained release of nerve growth factor and enhance biocompatibility.
The accuracy and productivity of ICD coding has always been a concern of clinical practice. Errors of ICD codes may result in claim denials and missed revenue. However, ICD coding process is complex, time-consuming and error-prone. More experienced coders are in need, but there is an increasing lack of supply. Automated ICD coding has potential to facilitate clinical coders for improved efficiency and quality. Model performance of related studies is still far below coders and both the accuracy and interpretability need to be improved in great demand. Besides, studies in Chinese corpus are not sufficient.

In this study, the investigators will implement automated ICD coding study based on inpatient' data collected from electronic medical records from Fuwai Hospital, the world's largest medical center for cardiovascular disease. Feature engineering and machine learning methods will be used to develop classification models with good performance, interpretability and practicability for ICD codes of primary diagnosis.
The discovery of bacterial microcolonies in tonsillar tissue of patients with tonsillar hyperplasia has raised the question of their role in provoking the local immune response. Tonsils collected from patients undergoing tonsillectomy were stained for three clinically relevant bacterial taxa and lymphocytes. The bacterial composition and abundance of microcolonies was investigated using a combination of laser-microdissection, amplicon sequencing and Droplet Digital polymerase chain reaction. Microcolonies were detected in most samples (32/35) with a high prevalence of Haemophilus influenzae (78% of samples). B and T cell lymphocytes were significantly higher in the epithelium adjacent to microcolonies compared to epithelium distal to microcolonies. Furthermore, significant positive and negative correlations were identified between bacterial taxa and lymphocytes. Genus Streptococcus, which includes Group A Streptococcus (traditionally described as the main pathogen of tonsillar hyperplasia), was found in low abundance in this study. These results suggest other potential pathogens may be involved in stimulating the local immune response leading to tonsillar hyperplasia.
Filgrastim-aafi is a 175 amino acid human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) manufactured by recombinant DNA technology. NIVESTYM is produced by Escherichia coli (E coli) bacteria into which has been inserted the human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor gene. NIVESTYM has a molecular weight of 18‚799 daltons. The protein has an amino acid sequence that is identical to the natural sequence predicted from human DNA sequence analysis‚ except for the addition of an N-terminal methionine necessary for expression in E coli. Because NIVESTYM is produced in E coli‚ the product is non-glycosylated and thus differs from G-CSF isolated from a human cell.

NIVESTYM is a sterile‚ clear‚ colorless‚ preservative-free liquid containing filgrastim-aafi injection for subcutaneous or intravenous use. The product is available in single-dose vials for subcutaneous or intravenous use and prefilled syringes for subcutaneous use. The single-dose vials contain either 300 mcg/mL or 480 mcg/1.6 mL of filgrastim-aafi. The single-dose prefilled syringes contain either 300 mcg/0.5 mL or 480 mcg/0.8 mL of filgrastim-aafi. The final pH range of the NIVESTYM drug product solution is 3.8 to 4.3. See Table 4 below for product composition of each single-dose vial or prefilled syringe.
Methods are provided for the establishment and maintenance in long term culture of hormone secreting cells. Cells are derived from animal or human tissues, including ovary, endometrium, trophoblast, pituitary, thyroid, and pancreas. Pancreatic cells are obtained by gently rupturing the basement lamina of a whole islet. The pancreatic cells that develop through the rupture in the basement lamina are cultured. The cells secrete into the culture medium various hormones depending on the tissue of origin of individual cell cultures. Contact with an appropriate secretogogue causes the cells to respond with increased hormone secretion. For instance, pancreatic cells respond to elevated glucose with increased insulin secretion. The cells proliferate in vitro for up to one year or longer, during which time they retain their hormone-secretion profile. The cells may be frozen for storage, and retain their hormone-secretion profile after thawing. The cell cultures are useful for the production of human hormones, for the bio-assay of drugs, for the testing of drug efficacy and design, and for toxicity testing of drugs and chemicals. The cells may also be implanted in an individual to replace deficient hormone secretion.
Pramlintide. an amylinomimetic, is effective in reducing post-meal glucose by non-insulin means. As such, when patients requiring insulin treatment are treated with pramlintide, the bolus insulin does must be reduced. Current recommendations suggest a 50% reduction but in our experience and that of a recent study this appears excessive. By using continuous glucose monitoring(CGM) to guide pre-meal insulin treatment, we will determine the percentage reduction in meal time insulin bolus comparing pre-pramlintide to maximum pramlintide treatment. We anticipate that the reduction in bolus dosage will be about 25%. In addition, the secondary aim of this study is to determine which bolus pattern, standard, square or dual wave, provides the best post-meal glucose control with pramlintide therapy.

The intervention being researched is called episodic future thinking (EFT), which consists of imagining specific instances of one's future. In this study, participants will engage in EFT focused on imagining taking one's medication, guided by a research staff member in their intervention sessions in addition to weekly check-in calls across an 8-week period following a 6-week, 8-week or 10-week baseline period. The research staff member will conduct the intervention session using a semi-structured interview format in which they work to identify situations in which the participant encounters challenges with taking their medication and will ask questions to prompt the participant to imagine what successful medication adherence would consist of. Sessions may also involve imagining positive events resulting from successful medication adherence and the details surrounding those events.
