Non-ablative Cryosurgical Freezing (limited to 1.5 cm diameter single freeze within the cancer (up to two cancer sites selected and treated)) will release intact antigens to prime the immune system. The study treatment immunotherapeutic drugs (PD-1 inhibitor monoclonal antibody Keytruda (pembrolizumab), anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody ipilimumab, and GM-CSF) will then be sequentially injected directly into each of the treated cancer sites immediately following Non-ablative Cryosurgical Freezing. Daily subcutaneous GM-CSF injections will also be administered subsequently. It is speculated that neoantigens released from the cryo-frozen necrotic cancer will be available in the vicinity of the Non-ablative Cryosurgical Freezing field immediately following the procedure. Immature dendritic cells attracted to the injection site will internalize neoantigens to become activated to recognize cancer-specific antigenic proteins. The activated dendritic cells will recruit killer T-cells to the injection site to attack cancer cells, and then migrate through the lymphatic system to sites of metastases, targeting cancer-specific neoantigens and recruiting more killer T-lymphocytes to destroy other cancer cells harboring the precise antigenic epitopes (abscopal (bystander) effect). In this way, dendritic cells are capable of initiating cell-mediated systemic immune response in combination with cytotoxic killer T-cells. Regulatory T lymphocytes, which have been implicated in dampening or halting cell-mediated, antigen-specific immune responses, will be selectively depleted by anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies, intra-tumoral GM-CSF, and GM-CSF. Intra-tumoral injection of the immunotherapeutic medications assists in stimulating and harnessing the local and systemic immune response. GM-CSF prolongs the immune response. Using this combination of therapies, referred to as YourVaccxTM, it is thought that a clinically significant systemic anti-cancer immune response might be elicited. Intra-tumoral injection of drugs will likely offer fewer side effects than systemic therapy.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the fastest growing public health problems in both developed and developing countries. The development of T2D is a slow process and involves both genetic and environmental effects. It is commonly agreed that T2D may develop only in people that carry a genetic predisposition to the disease. Based on epidemiological observations about half of the people will develop T2D during their lifetime, and up to 30-35% will have IGT. Therefore, it is likely that more than half of the population carry genes that predispose the development of T2D. In people genetically predisposed to the disease, the probability to develop T2D is very high once exposed to unhealthy lifestyles such as obesity, unbalanced diet and physical inactivity. While we cannot change the genes, the only way to prevent T2D and its serious complications is the modification of lifestyle risk factors. Therefore, it is very important to understand the role of preventive lifestyle intervention as a key treatment in T2D prevention. Once established, T2D is difficult to treat. Despite pharmacologic treatment blood glucose levels trend to increase over time. Thus, the most efficient way to manage T2D is to prevent diabetes from developing. Also complications of T2D can best be postponed by postponing the onset of the primary disease itself. The efforts to prevent the disease need to start as early as possible and address all susceptibility factors. Fortunately, recent studies have convincingly demonstrated that prevention of T2D is possible. This project will show for the first time how lifestyle interventions work in people with IGT in the Caribbean population. The results of this study will be sued for policy making and planning of primary prevention activities not only in the local health-care system but in the entire Caribbean region.
The control group will be given ordinary smoking cessation information. Measurements will be made at 1, 3, and 6 months.
Assessing blood compatibility is crucial before in vivo procedures and is considered more reliable than many in vitro tests. This study examines the physiochemical properties and blood compatibility of bioactive powders ((0.5-2 wt % carbon nanotube (CNT)/alumina)-20 wt %)) produced through a heterocoagulation colloidal technique followed by ball milling with hydroxyapatite (HAp). The 1 wt % CNT composite demonstrated a surface charge ∼5 times higher than HAp at pH 7.4, with a value of -11 mV compared to -2 mV. This increase in electrostatic charge is desirable for achieving hemocompatibility, as evidenced by a range of blood compatibility assessments, including hemolysis, blood clotting, platelet adhesion, platelet activation, and coagulation assays (prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thrombin time (aPTT)). The 1 wt % CNT composite exhibited hemolysis ranging from 2 to 7%, indicating its hemocompatibility. In the blood clot investigation, the absorbance values for 1-2 wt % CNT samples were 0.927 ± 0.038 and 1.184 ± 0.128, respectively, indicating their nonthrombogenicity. Additionally, the percentage of platelet adhered on the 1 wt % CNT sample (∼5.67%) showed a ∼2.5-fold decrement compared to the clinically used negative control, polypropylene (∼13.73%). The PT and aPTT experiments showed no difference in the coagulation time for CNT samples even at higher concentrations, unlike HAC2 (80 mg). In conclusion, the 1 wt % CNT sample was nontoxic to human blood, making it more hemocompatible, nonhemolytic, and nonthrombogenic than other samples. This reliable study reduces the need for additional in vitro and in vivo studies before clinical trials, saving time and cost.
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and discloses a novel application of sorafenib, namely an application of sorafenib in preventive treatment of type 1 diabetes. The sorafenib for the preventive treatment of the type 1 diabetes provides a new treatment way for a large number of patients and provides more choices for clinicians and patients. For type 1 diabetic patients, sorafenib can provide oral drug therapy to the patient, free from the trouble of daily insulin injections. Sorafenib can be chemically synthesized, and the cost is lower than that of a biological agent. And has been approved by FDA and NMPA for clinical treatment. The side effects are less and light, the tolerance of clinical patients is good, and the burden of the patients is light.
The invention relates to the field of molecular immunology. In recent years, tuberculosis revives in the global range. The emergence of drug-resistant strain always invalidates antibiotic therapy and the normally used tuberculosis vaccine-BCG vaccine also has limitations. The invention aims at screening the molecular simulation peptide of epitope which can activate the protective immune response of human anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis, studying the protective immune response mechanism of the tuberculosis and further developing a novel concatenated poly epitope tuberculosis vaccine. The invention provides the molecular simulation peptide of the epitope which can activate the protective immune response of human anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis; the amino acid sequence of the peptide is shown as SEQ ID NO:15. The invention further provides a screening method and the function of the peptide. Therefore, the molecular simulation peptide of the invention can more effectively prevent and control the generation and the development of tuberculosis.
Potential subjects will be identified based on the indication of a pancreatic cyst requiring EUS-FNA. The procedure will be performed as usual per standard protocol with EUS-FNA of the cyst. Once the fluid is aspirated, it will be measured and if the fluid volume is 2.25 mL or greater than the patient will be included in the study.

A micropipette will be used to ensure exact volumes are measured. The first 1 mL of cystic fluid will be sent to the lab for regular CEA analysis, per standard protocol. The remaining fluid, which would usually be discarded, will then be used for the study. The micropipette will be used to mix 0.75 mL of cyst fluid with 0.25 mL of normal saline (designated sample #2). Next, 0.5 mL of cyst fluid will be mixed with 0.5 mL of normal saline for the next study sample (designated sample #3). These two study samples will be sent to the lab separately using de-identified information, and these values will not be part of the patient's medical record and will not affect clinical management or decision-making. The study samples will be given a unique identifier that will not have any patient identification. The unique identifier will allow the study researchers to link the values to the correct patient by using a password protected program that cannot be accessed by the public.

This study will not require any additional patient participation, and will not impact the length of the procedure. The only additional time will be from the study researchers and the EUS technologists diluting the samples, which will not affect the procedure time itself. If a single patient has more than one cyst, each cyst can be included in the study separately. No additional photographs, videos or data other than the standard data for the procedure will be produced.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with a systemic increase in the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. While transient exposure to low IL-1β concentrations improves insulin secretion and β-cell proliferation in pancreatic islets, prolonged exposure leads to impaired insulin secretion and collective β-cell death. IL-1 is secreted locally by islet-resident macrophages and β-cells; however, it is unknown if and how the two opposing modes may emerge at single islet level. We investigated the duality of IL-1β with a quantitative in silico model of the IL-1 regulatory network in pancreatic islets. We find that the network can produce either transient or persistent IL-1 responses when induced by pro-inflammatory and metabolic cues. This suggests that the duality of IL-1 may be regulated at the single islet level. We use two core feedbacks in the IL-1 regulation to explain both modes: First, a fast positive feedback in which IL-1 induces its own production through the IL-1R/IKK/NF-κB pathway. Second, a slow negative feedback where NF-κB upregulates inhibitors acting at different levels along the IL-1R/IKK/NF-κB pathway-IL-1 receptor antagonist and A20, among others. A transient response ensues when the two feedbacks are balanced. When the positive feedback dominates over the negative, islets transit into the persistent inflammation mode. Consistent with several observations, where the size of islets was implicated in its inflammatory state, we find that large islets and islets with high density of IL-1β amplifying cells are more prone to transit into persistent IL-1β mode. Our results are likely not limited to IL-1β but are general for the combined effect of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Generalizing complex regulations in terms of two feedback mechanisms of opposing nature and acting on different time scales provides a number of testable predictions. Taking islet architecture and cellular heterogeneity into consideration, further dynamic monitoring and experimental validation in actual islet samples will be crucial to verify the model predictions and enhance its utility in clinical applications.
Within the scope of the study the aims will be to: (1. Develop the pre-implantation assessment protocol utilizing targeted CT to locate optimal gluteal motor points bilaterally.) CT assessment of the pelvic region in spinal cord injured subjects will be carried out to determine regional vascular and nervous anatomy. This will allow us to achieve optimal electrode placement using a minimally invasive implantation procedure. (2. Develop the implanted gluteal stimulation system.) The fully implanted gluteal stimulation (GSTIM) system is envisioned as a marriage between the established technology of the implanted IM electrodes developed by the Cleveland FES Center and the newly developed Micropulse I 2-channel stimulator. The Micropulse I IPG is a small, rechargeable stimulator developed by NDI Medical as a platform technology for neuromodulation and neurostimulation applications. The device will be customized in order to provide two synchronized channels of stimulation for the GSTIM system. (3. Implement and evaluate implanted gluteal stimulation system in human volunteers.) A pilot clinical trial of the fully implanted gluteal stimulation system will be carried out using a two-arm crossover study of ten wheelchair users at risk for pressure ulcer development due to impaired mobility. Pre-defined selection criteria will be employed to screen potential participants physically and psychologically. All participants will receive a stimulation system consisting of implanted IM electrodes inserted bilaterally in the gluteus maximus together with the Micropulse I stimulator implanted subcutaneously in the lower abdomen. Tissue health will be assessed at three month intervals during the 12-month period following implantation. The clinical application of this system is of great relevance to the veteran population at risk of pressure ulcer development. The project will add value to the continued improvement in health care provision for veterans, allowing them to benefit from the most recent advances in medical device technology. Although the initial target user group is veterans with SCI, the proposes system will have applications to other patient populations at risk due to reduced mobility, such as those with multiple sclerosis and the elderly.
Chronic Kidney Disease is a serious public health problem and in clear relation to Climate Change and ecosystem maintenance. Renal health is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and dialysis therapy (hemodialysis and PD) has a significant environmental footprint, conditioned by energy consumption and greenhouse gas production. In the last 50 years, people have changed ecosystems faster and more extensively than in any other period in human history. It is a consequence of ever-increasing demand for food, fresh water, fuel, industry, etc. and the result has been a substantial and largely irreversible loss of the diversity of life on Earth. Since 1979, human activities have caused the extinction of 60% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles. There is an urgent need to adopt "Green Nephrology" measures by developing sustainable environmental solutions for the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases.
The ability to maintain relatively stable blood glucose concentrations after eating has important implications for health. Individuals who are better able to maintain stable blood glucose concentrations after consuming carbohydrate have a lower risk of mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular disease. Muscle is the primary tissue for glucose disposal after a meal and the ability to tolerate a glucose load is largely dependent on the ability of muscle to respond to insulin by translocating the glucose transporter, GLUT4, to the muscle cell membrane, facilitating glucose import into muscle from the circulation. Therefore, by understanding the mechanisms that explain why some people are better able to maintain glucose control can give insight into how to target physiological pathways (such as muscle glucose uptake) to reduce disease risk and improve health.

Clathrins are cytoplasmic proteins that play essential roles in cell membrane trafficking pathways. Pilot data indicate that the clathrin heavy chain isoform 22 (CHC22) plays a key role in intracellular targeting of GLUT4 and may therefore play an important role in whole-body glucose control. Cell-based studies suggest that genetic variation in the CLTCL1 gene (which encodes for CHC22) at SNP rs1061325, influences GLUT4 retention. It is currently unknown whether genetic variation in CHC22 has consequences for whole-body glucose control in humans.
Disclosed is a synthetic peptide, useful as an immunocontraceptive agent and for the diagnosis of autoimmune infertility, which corresponds to an autoantigenic epitope of Rabbit Sperm Membrane Autoantigen (RSA). The synthetic peptide is selected from the group consisting of the decapeptide NH2-pro-gly-gly-gly-thr-leu-pro-pro-ser-gly-COOH and the antigenic equivalents thereof. Also disclosed is a method of diagnosing autoimmune infertility in a human subject. The method comprises the step of, first, contacting an immune sera sample from the subject with an antigen, the antigen selected from the group consisting of RSA, other proteins which bind selection antibodies which bind to RSA, and derivatives thereof which bind selection antibodies which bind to RSA. The next step is to detect the presence of antibodies from the immune sera sample bound to the antigen, the presence of antibodies bound to the antigen suggesting the subject is afflicted with autoimmune infertility. A preferred group of antigens is the decapeptide NH2-pro-gly-gly-gly-thr-leu-pro-pro-ser-gly-COOH and the antigenic equivalents thereof.

In multiple sclerosis, fatigue is the most common clinical symptom, reported by up to 97% of patients. No successful evidence-based therapy exists so far. The main aim of this trial is to evaluate whether additional acupuncture or mindfulness-based stress reduction is more efficacious than usual care only to reduce fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis. We want to include 141 patients with multiple sclerosis and fatigue. Participants will be randomised into three groups to compare 1) usual care, 2) usual care plus standardised acupuncture, and 3) usual care plus mindfulness-based stress reduction. Treatment duration will be 12 weeks. The primary outcome is the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) after 12 weeks, follow-up measurement will be performed after 26 weeks. Secondary outcomes include other fatigue specific parameters, other MS specific parameters, cost, and physiological, immunological and functional magnetic resonance imaging parameters.
Objectives: This review aimed to assess characteristics of telehealth in pain management for adult patients with chronic pain and their family care partners and review current evidence of the effectiveness of telehealth for pain management. Based on the Revised Symptom Management model, this review identified types of chronic pain management strategies and symptom management outcomes delivered by telehealth. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of four electronic databases, PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, and Embase, using combinations of keywords, including "telehealth," "caregivers," and "pain." Only interventions delivered online, including websites, mobile applications, phone calls, and videoconferencing, were included. To accurately characterize the features of each telehealth pain intervention, we employed a standardized checklist. Additionally, a summary table of the evidence was created. Results: We analyzed 17 studies that met the inclusion criteria, of which 14 were randomized controlled trials, 1 was a cohort study, and 2 were qualitative cohort studies. We grouped interventions based on content of the intervention for pain management (education, psychotherapy, reporting and consultation, and multicomponent intervention). The quality rating of studies was mostly moderately strong. Findings of interventions' effectiveness were showing heterogenous effects on variables, possibly due to different pain measurements and varying follow-up times. Significance of Results: Telehealth interventions can potentially increase access to care for patients with chronic pain and their families in a limited resource area. Telehealth technology is a feasible tool that may enhance clinicians' pain management efforts for patients with chronic pain and their family care partners. The results of this review can be used to guide telehealth pain assessment and evaluation for care partners, clinicians, and researchers and inform the design of future telehealth systems.
An increased incidence of leukemia in male mice receiving tranexamic acid in food at a concentration of 4.8% (equivalent to doses as high as 5 g/kg/day) may have been related to treatment. Female mice were not included in this experiment.

Hyperplasia of the biliary tract and cholangioma and adenocarcinoma of the intrahepatic biliary system have been reported in one strain of rats after dietary administration of doses exceeding the maximum tolerated dose for 22 months. Hyperplastic, but not neoplastic, lesions were reported at lower doses. Subsequent long-term dietary administration studies in a different strain of rat, each with an exposure level equal to the maximum level employed in the earlier experiment, have failed to show such hyperplastic/neoplastic changes in the liver. No mutagenic activity has been demonstrated in several in vitro and in vivo test systems.
Patients complete questionnaires over 30 minutes before treatment begins, at each visit during treatment, and again at all follow-up visits related to treatment. Patients also have their medical records reviewed.
