The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of small, portable low-level laser therapy (light sources in square configuration: 830 nm GaAs diode 3.2 mW at the center, 4 × 650 nm InGaAIP diodes over the corners) treatment in reducing and enhancing hand function in patients with wrist pain. This study was a prospective, randomized, sham-controlled, and home-based self-therapy trial. A total of thirty subjects with wrist pain were enrolled. All participants received low-level laser therapy on painful area at the wrist. The experimental group (n = 15) received laser stimulation, while the control group (n = 15) received sham stimulation using identical equipment that generated only a red light without the laser output. Both groups self-treated for 30 min a day, 5 days per week for 3 weeks, total of 15 sessions. The primary outcome was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) for wrist pain from 0 (painless) to 10 (extreme pain). The secondary outcomes were measured with patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE), grip strength, lateral, palmar, and tip pinch strength. Measures were taken before and after treatment. A total of thirty participants provided outcome data. After the intervention, both groups showed a significant decrease in VAS score, from 4.93 to 3.67 in experimental group, from 5.53 to 4.00 in control group (the experiment group: p = 0.020, the control group: p = 0.003). The experimental group showed a significant improvement in function scale score (p = 0.012), the control group did not. Lateral and pinch strength was significantly improved in the experimental group (p = 0.017) and in the control group (p = 0.034) respectively. There were no side effects in the patients. Medical laser irradiation is a portable and easy-to-use laser irradiator without side effects. Clinical Trial Registration number: KCT0006604.
Patients undergo low-dose radiation therapy over 2 fractions for 2 consecutive days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or progressive disease at 12-16 weeks post-treatment, or persistent disease at 1 year may undergo higher-dose radiation therapy at the discretion of treating physician.

Chylothorax is a serious postoperative complication of oesophageal cancer, and to date, there is no standardized and effective intraoperative diagnostic tool that can be used to identify the thoracic duct and determine the location of lymphatic fistulas. A 50-year-old patient with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma developed chylothorax after thoracolaparoscopy combined with radical resection of oesophageal cancer. Twelve hours after surgery, 1200 mL of clear fluid was drained from the thoracic drainage tube, and a chyle test was sent. A thoracothoracic duct ligation procedure was performed on the first day after surgery. Although fluid accumulating in the posterior mediastinum was observed, the location of the lymphatic fistula could not be determined. During the surgery, indocyanine green (ICG) was injected into the bilateral inguinal lymph nodes, and a fluorescent lens was used to determine the location of the lymphatic fistula so the surgeon could ligate the thoracic duct. ICG fluorescence imaging technology can help surgeons effectively manage chylothorax after oesophageal cancer surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the use of ICG fluorescence imaging technology to treat postoperative chylothorax in patients with oesophageal cancer in China.

BACKGROUND: The relationship between Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is controversial. These include central lymph node metastasis (CLNM), which affects the prognosis of PTMC patients. This study aimed to establish a predictive model combining ultrasonography and clinicopathological features to accurately evaluate latent CLNM in PTMC patients with HT at the clinical lymph node-negative (cN0) stage.
METHODS: In this study, 1102 PTMC patients who received thyroidectomy and central cervical lymph node dissection (CLND) from the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022 and the 960th Hospital of PLA from January 2021 to December 2022 were jointly collected. The clinical differences between PTMCs with HT and those without HT were compared. A total of 373 PTMCs with HT in cN0 were randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort. By analyzing and screening the risk factors of CLNM, a nomogram model was established and verified. The predictive performance was measured by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and clinical decision curve analysis (DCA).
RESULTS: The ratio of central lymph node metastasis (CLNMR) in PTMCs with HT was 0.0% (0.0%, 15.0%) and 7.7% (0.0%, 40.0%) in the non-HT group (P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, calcification, adjacent to trachea or capsule, and TPOAB were predictors of CLNM in PTMCs with HT. The areas under the curve (AUC) of the prediction models in the training cohort and the validation cohort were 0.835 and 0.825, respectively, which showed good differentiation ability. DCA indicates that the prediction model also has high net benefit and clinical practical value.
CONCLUSION: This study found that CLN involvement was significantly reduced in PTMC patients with HT, suggesting that different methods should be used to predict CLNM in PTMC patients with HT and without HT, to more accurately assist preoperative clinical evaluation. The actual CLNM situation of PTMCs with HT in cN0 can be accurately predicted by the combination of ultrasonography and clinicopathological features.
HIV therapy initiated at 7-13 days of cryptococcal meningitis diagnosis. HIV therapy consisting of a nucleoside with lamivudine and efavirenz.
OBJECTIVE: B-lines assessed by lung ultrasound (LUS) outperform physical exam, chest radiograph, and biomarkers for the associated diagnosis of acute heart failure (AHF) in the emergent setting. The use of LUS is however limited to trained professionals and suffers from interpretation variability. The objective was to utilize transfer learning to create an AI-enabled software that can aid novice users to automate LUS B-line interpretation.
METHODS: Data from an observational AHF LUS study provided standardized cine clips for AI model development and evaluation. A total of 49,952 LUS frames from 30 patients were hand scored and trained on a convolutional neural network (CNN) to interpret B-lines at the frame level. A random independent evaluation set of 476 LUS clips from 60 unique patients assessed model performance. The AI models scored the clips on both a binary and ordinal 0-4 multiclass assessment.
RESULTS: A multiclassification AI algorithm had the best performance at the binary level when applied to the independent evaluation set, AUC of 0.967 (95% CI 0.965-0.970) for detecting pathologic conditions. When compared to expert blinded reviewer, the 0-4 multiclassification AI algorithm scale had a reported linear weighted kappa of 0.839 (95% CI 0.804-0.871).
CONCLUSIONS: The multiclassification AI algorithm is a robust and well performing model at both binary and ordinal multiclass B-line evaluation. This algorithm has the potential to be integrated into clinical workflows to assist users with quantitative and objective B-line assessment for evaluation of AHF.
Sinusitis is common among HIV-infected patients and is likely to be recurrent or refractory to traditional therapy, particularly in patients with advanced immunosuppression. An intervention aimed at prevention of recurrent sinus disease in HIV-infected patients appears to be warranted.

Patients receive 21-42 days of antibiotic therapy for the defining episode of sinusitis. Following discontinuation of antibiotics, screening evaluations are performed. Within 7 days following completion of antibiotics, patients with clinical resolution begin 14 +/- 3 days of decongestant therapy with oral Deconsal II, a drug combining pseudoephedrine, a decongestant, and guaifenesin, an expectorant. Following decongestant therapy, patients undergo entry evaluations, including nasal endoscopy and sinus radiograph. Patients with continued clinical resolution and no purulence on endoscopy are then randomized to receive decongestant alone or in combination with nasal steroid (beclomethasone dipropionate) or antibiotic (cefuroxime axetil) or both. Treatment continues for a minimum of 52 weeks and a maximum of 104 weeks. Patients are followed at weeks 4, 8, and 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter.

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a globally prevalent respiratory disease, and programmed cell death plays a pivotal role in the development of COPD. Disulfidptosis is a newly discovered type of cell death that may be associated with the progression of COPD. However, the expression and role of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) in COPD remain unclear.
METHODS: The expression of DRGs was identified by analyzing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data in COPD. Further, COPD patients were classified into two subtypes by unsupervised cluster analysis to reveal their differences in gene expression and immune infiltration. Meanwhile, hub genes associated with disulfidptosis were screened by weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Subsequently, the hub genes were validated experimentally in cells and animals. In addition, we screened potential therapeutic drugs through the hub genes.
RESULTS: We identified two distinct molecular clusters and observed significant differences in immune cell populations between them. In addition, we screened nine hub genes, and experimental validation showed that CDC71, DOHH, PDAP1, and SLC25A39 were significantly upregulated in cigarette smoke-induced COPD mouse lung tissues and bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) treated with cigarette smoke extract. Finally, we predicted 10 potential small molecule drugs such as Atovaquone, Taurocholic acid, Latamoxef, and Methotrexate.
CONCLUSION: We highlighted the strong association between COPD and disulfidptosis, with DRGs demonstrating a discriminative capacity for COPD. Additionally, the expression of certain novel genes, including CDC71, DOHH, PDAP1, and SLC25A39, is linked to COPD and may aid in the diagnosis and assessment of this condition.
Omentum infusion: briefly, islets are spread in the surface of the omentum, in a single omental pouch site. Transplanting in a single site will reduce risks. A single dose of at least 5000 IEQ/KG will be transplanted. The investigators should be able to achieve a meaningful metabolic improvement and prevention of severe hypoglycemia, as previously seen in experience with intraportal islet transplants. Recombinant human thrombin is added to the islets placed on the omentum to promote formation of a gel clot and facilitate adherence to the surface of the omentum. A pouch is then created by folding the omentum. The pouch is secured inn place with stitches.
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a composition for oral cavity excellent in dental plaque formation-suppressing effect and having high commercial value by including a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone with vinyl acetate as a dental plaque formation suppressant. SOLUTION: A copolymer of (A) vinylpyrrolidone with (B) vinyl acetate is included as a dental plaque formation-suppressing agent to provide the objective composition. The molar ratio of components A/B is preferably (5/5) to (6/4). The average molecular weight of the copolymer is preferably 10,000-100,000 based on weight-average molecular weight. The content of the copolymer is preferably 0.01-2 wt.% based on the composition. An abrasive (e.g. sedimentary silica), a viscolizer (e.g. carboxymethylcellulose sodium), a surface active agent (e.g. sodium lauryl sulfate), a sweetening agent (e.g. saccharin sodium), etc., are compounded in the case of dentifrice such as tooth paste in the composition.
OBJECTIVE: It remains ambiguous as to whether the status of trace elements would affect their related enzyme activities toward defending a possible higher oxidative stress in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD) treatment. We investigated copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and selenium (Se) status in patients receiving PD or HD treatments and further determined the association of these trace elements with their related antioxidant capacities in those patients.
METHODS: Sixty PD and 80 HD patients before and after HD treatment had their blood drawn. Demographic, clinical, and 24-hour diet recall data were recorded and collected. Plasma trace elements, oxidative stress indicators, and antioxidant enzyme activities were measured.
RESULTS: Patients receiving PD or HD treatments experienced similar Zn and Cu intakes. PD and HD patients displayed adequate mean plasma Cu, Zn, and Se levels. Patients receiving PD treatment showed significantly higher levels of Cu, Zn, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, but had significantly lower levels of Se and total antioxidant capacity when compared to levels in the HD patients at the pre-HD session. The levels of 3 trace elements and AOPP increased significantly, while the levels of glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), GPx, and SOD activities decreased significantly after receiving HD treatment than did the levels in the pre-HD session. Plasma Cu, Se, and Zn levels had a different correlation with plasma AOPP level, GPx, and SOD activities during PD, pre- or post-HD sessions. Plasma Cu, Zn, and Se levels did not have any association with their associated enzyme activities in patients with PD, while plasma Cu and Zn levels may have influenced SOD activity in HD patients.
CONCLUSIONS: An adequate Cu, Zn, and Se status is required in order to help their associated enzyme activity cope with increased oxidative stress during PD or HD sessions.

GATA2 and ZNF148 have both been mapped to chromosome 3q. Pathogenic variants in GATA2 have been associated with immunodeficiency and high risk for myelodysplasia, acute myeloid leukemia, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Gain-of-function variants in ZNF148 have previously been suggested as a mechanism for agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC). Here, we report a novel 10.4 Mb interstitial deletion on 3q12.33q22.1 including GATA2 and ZNF148 in a child with developmental delay, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and vertebral segmentation defects. With this diagnosis, we were able to suggest preemptive referrals to hematology/oncology and allergy/immunology for close monitoring of early myelodysplasia. We also propose a possible link between ZNF148 loss of function variants and ACC.
Polymeric delivery devices have been developed which combine high loading/high density of molecules to be delivered with the option of targeting. As used herein, “high density” refers to microparticles having a high density of ligands or coupling agents, which is in the range of 1000-10,000,000, more peferably between 10,000 and 1,000,000 ligands per square micron of microparticle surface area. A general method for incorporating molecules into the surface of biocompatible polymers using materials with an HLB of less than 10, more preferably less than 5, such as fatty acids, has been developed. Because of its ease, generality and flexibility, this method has widespread utility in modifying the surface of polymeric materials for applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering, as well other fields. Targeted polymeric microparticles have also been developed which encapsulate therapeutic compounds such as drugs, cellular materials or components, and antigens, and have targeting ligands directly bound to the microparticle surface. Preferred applications include use in tissue engineering matrices, wound dressings, bone repair or regeneration materials, and other applications where the microparticles are retained at the site of application or implantation. Another preferred application is in the use of microparticles to deliver anti-proliferation agents to the lining of blood vessels following angioplasty, transplantation or bypass surgery to prevent or decrease restenosis, and in cancer therapy. In still another application, the microparticles are used to treat or prevent macular degeneration when administered to the eye, where agents such as complement inhibitors are administered.
