This study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pragmatic Phase 1/Phase 2a study of 3 infusions of allogeneic adipose-derived MSCs daily for 3 days in patients with modified KDIGO Stage 2 AKI. This trial will enroll severely injured trauma or burn patients who have developed Stage 2 AKI. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive Hope Biosciences (HB)-adMSCs or placebo administered within 24 hours of consent and in 3 doses, each 24 hours apart. Safety (defined by infusional toxicity), impact on duration and progression of AKI, and determination of biomarkers of renal injury will be investigated in this trial. Phase 1 of the study will include Cohort 1 (10 patients) and will confirm safety in this population with this cell formulation (cryopreserved and reanimated). Phase 2a of the study will include 60 patients (30 interventional, 30 placebo) and will look at duration of AKI at Stage 2 or higher (defined as proportion of patients with a duration of Stage 2 AKI more than 2 days after the start of treatment).
Ritalin (methylphenidate) Treatment B: 5 10 or 15-mg tablets (encapsulated/single capsule) 3 times a day + 3 OROS placebo tablets once daily for 7 days. Each patient will be randomized to 1 of 9 treatment sequences each consisting of 3 7-day treatment periods of Treatment A B and C.
As the window department of the hospital, the emergency department is an important place for the rescue of critically ill patients. Whether the emergency department can complete the rescue of various critically ill patients with high standards, high efficiency and high quality reflects the overall management level and technical capabilities of the hospital. With the development of society, the people's demand for emergency medical services is also increasing. Therefore, it is important to strengthen the investment of manpower and material resources in the emergency department. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the emergency department has been the frontier of contact with the epidemic, and the busy emergency patients have faced greater risks and challenges. So, what is the medical environment of the emergency department? Is the practice status of emergency medical care good or bad? At present, there is no corresponding investigation and research on the current situation of emergency medical care in China. Therefore, this study intends to conduct a cross-sectional survey of the current practice of emergency medical staff to understand the current situation of emergency medical care and provide a basis for the development and construction of the emergency department.
Chronic Liver fibrosis may progress to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hence cause a substantial global burden. However, effective therapies for blocking fibrosis are still lacking. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proven beneficial to liver regeneration after damage, the underlying mechanism of their therapeutic effects are not fully understood. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial functionality alteration directly contributes to the hepatocyte apoptosis and development of liver fibrosis. This study aims to elucidate the mechanism by which hUC-MSC alleviates liver fibrosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. RNA-sequencing was performed to characterize the transcriptomic changes after implantation of hUC-MSCs in mice with liver fibrosis. Next, western blot, RT-PCR, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining were used to evaluate the expression of different genes in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, mitochondrial morphological and dynamic changes, ROS content, and ATP production were examined. Slc25a47, a newly identified liver-specific mitochondrial NAD+ transporter, was notably reduced in CCl4-treated mice and H2O2-stimulated hepatocytes. Conversely, hUC-MSCs increased the Slc25a47 expression and NAD+ level within mitochondria, thereby enhanced Sirt3 protein activity and alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction in the liver. Furthermore, Slc25a47 knockdown could partially abrogate the protective effects of hUC-MSCs on H2O2-induced mitochondrial fission and oxidative stress in hepatocytes. Our study illustrates that Slc25a47 is a key molecular for hUC-MSCs to improve liver fibrosis and regulates mitochondrial function through Sirt3 for the first time, and providing a theoretical basis for the clinical translation of hUC-MSCs transplantation in the treatment of patients with liver fibrosis/cirrhosis.
The immunogenicity of an antigen is enhanced by increasing the specific antigen presenting function of dendritic cells (DC) in a mammalian host. The host is treated with a DC mobilization agent to increase the number of circulating DC precursors. The host is then given a local, injection of antigen in combination with a DC activating agent. The activation step promotes recruitment and maturation of the DC, along with antigen-specific activation and migration from the tissues to lymphoid organs. These DC then effectively interact with, and present processed antigen to, T cells that are then able to respond to the antigen. In one aspect of the invention, the antigen is a tumor antigen, and is used to enhance the host immune response to tumor cells present in the body.

Lactic acid and citric acid are added as acidic regulators, so that the pH value of the product is suitable for human body to absorb, and the suitable pH value is favorable for absorption of various mineral substances through a pH regulation and control mode which does not influence the quality of the product, thereby improving the effect of supplementing various mineral substances. The sterilization mode used in the preparation process is damp heat sterilization. The temperature control range is 100-120 ℃. The encapsulation process adopts a calcium-free, zinc-free and iron-free rubber plug, so that other mineral substances generated in the process are greatly reduced, and the product quality is stable through comparative research and process verification.
Standardized grass pollen extract must be diluted prior to first use on a patient for immunotherapy or intradermal testing (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Grass pollen extract is manufactured to assure high potency and has the ability to cause serious local and systemic reactions, including death in sensitive patients 14. Patients should be informed of this risk and precautions should be discussed prior to initiating skin testing and immunotherapy (see PRECAUTIONS). 

Grass pollen extract should be temporarily withheld from a patient if any of the following conditions exist: (a) severe symptoms of rhinitis and/or asthma; (b) infection or flu accompanied by fever; (c) exposure to excessive amounts of grass pollen allergen prior to a scheduled injection.

SWITCHING PATIENTS TO STANDARDIZED GRASS POLLEN EXTRACT: The same precautions that are recommended in switching from an old to a new lot of non-standardized grass pollen extract should be followed in switching from non-standardized to standardized grass pollen extract, i.e., the dose of the new lot of standardized grass pollen extract should be reduced 75% of the dose given from an old lot of non-standardized grass pollen extract. Under certain circumstances, it may be advisable to compare the relative potency of the standardized and non-standardized extract by side by side skin testing using comparable v/v dilutions of the concentrates. 

When switching from alum precipitated grass pollen extract to standardized grass pollen extract, the patient should be managed as a new patient coming under treatment for the first time.

Video-assisted thoracic surgery esophagectomy (VATS-E) may increase the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) because it uses a high dosage of anesthesia through a long operative duration. However, no study has examined the risk factors for PONV after VATS-E. Therefore, we investigated the risk factors for PONV to support the appropriate risk management of PONV after VATS-E. This prospective cohort study included 155 patients who underwent VATS-E at the Showa University Hospital between April 1st, 2020 and November 30th, 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of PONV within 24 h after surgery. Significant independent risk factors associated with the incidence of PONV were selected using multivariate analysis. The association between the number of risk factors for PONV and incidence of PONV was analyzed. One-hundred fifty-three patients were included in the analysis. The patients' median age was 67 years (range, 44-88), and 79.1% were male. PONV occurred in 35 (22.9%) patients. In the multivariate analysis, remifentanil dosage > 89.0 ng/kg/ min, albumin ≤ 3.5 g/dL, and eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 were independent significant risk factors for PONV. A significant association was observed between the incidence of and the number of risk factors for PONV (0 factor, 5.8%; 1 factor, 27.3%; ≥ 2 factors, 40.0%; p = 0.001). These three risk factors are useful indicators for selecting patients at high risk of developing PONV after VATS-E. In these patients, avoiding the development of PONV will be possible by performing appropriate risk management.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating condition characterized by an elusive etiology and pathophysiology. This study aims to evaluate the pathological role of neuroinflammation in ME/CFS by conducting an exhaustive analysis of 65 observational studies. Four neuroimaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), electroencephalography (EEG), and positron emission tomography (PET), were employed to comparatively assess brain regional structure, metabolite profiles, electrical activity, and glial activity in 1529 ME/CFS patients (277 males, 1252 females) and 1715 controls (469 males, 1246 females). Clinical characteristics, including sex, age, and fatigue severity, were consistent with established epidemiological patterns. Regional alterations were most frequently identified in the cerebral cortex, with a notable focus on the frontal cortex. However, our meta-analysis data revealed a significant hypoactivity in the insular and thalamic regions, contrary to observed frequencies. These abnormalities, occurring in pivotal network hubs bridging reason and emotion, disrupt connections with the limbic system, contributing to the hallmark symptoms of ME/CFS. Furthermore, we discuss the regions where neuroinflammatory features are frequently observed and address critical neuroimaging limitations, including issues related to inter-rater reliability. This systematic review serves as a valuable guide for defining regions of interest (ROI) in future neuroimaging investigations of ME/CFS.

In the U.S., 8% of all births occur between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks gestation and are regarded as late preterm birth. Compared to term newborns, late preterm newborns have a much higher risk of morbidity and mortality, in part because of difficulty establishing feeding and growth. Breastfeeding optimizes the nutrition of these infants by supporting growth and establishing a healthy intestinal microbiota. However, maternal breast milk production is often delayed after preterm birth, which can hamper optimal growth. When this occurs, clinicians may use formula to supplement breastfeeding. However, formula alters neonatal intestinal microbiota and can impede some of the benefits of a human milk diet. Donor milk from a certified milk bank could possibly be used instead of formula for supplementation prior to the onset of copious maternal milk production. However, the use of banked donor milk has never been studied in late preterm infants. The aim of this proposal is to report the effects of banked donor milk vs. formula on growth and on intestinal microbiota among late preterm, breastfeeding newborns who require additional nutrition before copious maternal milk is available. This study's investigators therefore propose a randomized, controlled trial enrolling late preterm newborns. Newborns will be randomly assigned either to breastfeed with additional formula feedings, or to breastfeed with additional donor milk feedings. The study's outcomes will be: (1) growth (rate of weight change), and (2) intestinal microbiota. If the study finds that temporary use of donor milk supports growth and maintains healthy intestinal microbiota until copious maternal milk becomes available, temporary use of donor milk might be a postnatal strategy to bolster neonatal nutrition and optimize nutritional support and growth for late preterm infants.

Neuraxial anesthesia (NA) has been contraindicated in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) due to concerns of sympathetic blockade and hemodynamic instability. These considerations are based on precautionary expert recommendations, supported by expected physiologic effects, but in the absence of any published scientific evidence. In light of the increasing elderly population and the prevalence of AS, this systematic review compiles available literature on NA in patients with AS to address the understanding of the anesthetic practice and safety in this population. Using a systematic approach, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for studies of patients with AS who exclusively received NA. Primary outcomes included intraoperative and postoperative complications. Of 1,433 citations, 61 met full-text inclusion criteria, including 3,228 patients undergoing noncardiac (n = 3,146, 97.5%), obstetric (n = 69, 2.1%), and cardiac (n = 13, 0.4%) procedures. Significant data heterogeneity (local anesthetic dosing, intraoperative interventions, and measured outcomes) prevented formal metanalysis, but descriptive data are presented. Spinal block (n = 2,856, 88.5%) and epidural anesthesia (n = 397, 12.3%) were administered most frequently. Hypotension requiring vasopressors was the most common intraoperative complication-noncardiac (n = 16, 9.9%), obstetric (n = 6, 13.0%), and cardiac (n = 1, 7.7%)-with resolution in all patients and no reported intraoperative cardiovascular collapse or mortality. The relative risk of different AS severities remains unclear, and optimal medication dosing remains elusive. The authors' data suggested that NA may not be contraindicated in carefully selected patients with AS. The authors' results should inform the design of future prospective studies comparing NA and general anesthesia in patients with AS.

They will be provided with dietary coaching weekly to discuss NIS, aMED diet compliance, and set weekly SMART goals. Following completion of chemoradiotherapy (5 weeks), participants will be provided dietary coaching weekly (in-person or via videoconference), discuss NIS, aMED diet compliance at home, and set weekly SMART goals (30 min). Participants will receive a Fitbit to wear continuously 24/7 over 12-weeks to track steps and activity intensity.
The invention relates to a cured product of a human cleaning agent and a method for preparing the same. Primarily, a hydrophobic agent, a water conversion agent and a surfactant are sequentially added to plant cellulose, and a cured product of a human cleaning agent is formed by curing and shaping. Thereby it is convenient to carry and avoids the contamination of the surrounding environment and articles when the creamy or liquid human cleaning agent is improperly leaked. Furthermore, the cured product of a human cleansing agent is made into a suitable particle size so that the cured product of a human cleansing agent can be just dissolved and disappeared when a user finishes the cleaning of the body. Accordingly, it improves the convenience when going out. Moreover, the use of plant cellulose can simultaneously achieve the effect of skin care and cleaning. By reducing the water activity, it can reduce or zero the addition of preservatives to slow down the skin's irritation and improve the safety and hygiene of use.
OBJECTIVE: Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) is a significant complication of ulcerative colitis, affecting roughly 25% of patients and increasing the risk of colectomy and hospital mortality. While intravenous steroids are a primary treatment, only 67% of patients respond, necessitating rescue therapy for non-responders. Data on ASUC in the Vietnamese population are scarce. This study aims to provide insights into the clinical characteristics and short-term outcomes of Vietnamese patients with ASUC.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective case series on ASUC patients admitted to the University Medical Center in Ho Chi Minh City from January 2021 to June 2023. Steroid response was assessed using the Travis Oxford criteria. We evaluated clinical features, in-hospital steroid response rates, endoscopic remission, and colectomy rates 12 months post-hospitalization.
RESULTS: Seventeen patients with a median age of 42 years (70.6% male) were included. The median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was six weeks, and 47.1% had a history of ulcerative colitis. Median CRP value was 75.8 mg/L, and 76.5% had fecal calprotectin concentrations above 800 µg/g. All patients had a Mayo endoscopic subscore of ≥2, with 12.5% showing deep ulcers. Eleven patients (64.7%) responded to in-hospital steroid treatment, while 6 (35.3%) required rescue therapy with infliximab or tofacitinib. After one year, 10 of 11 (90.1%) achieved mucosal healing, and no patients underwent colectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: Corticosteroids remain the cornerstone for initial ASUC therapy, though many patients do not respond. Anti-TNF agents and tofacitinib show potential benefits for those unresponsive to steroids. This study highlights the effectiveness of corticosteroids and biologics in managing ASUC in Vietnam.
