Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a type of ischemic osteonecrosis that causes pain, loss of function, and femoral head collapse. Here, we analyzed samples of femoral heads excised from patients with ONFH to clarify the relationship between ischemic osteonecrosis and cellular senescence. X-gal staining was strong and p16INK4a-positive cells were abundant in the transitional region of ONFH. The β-galactosidase-positive cells in the transitional region were also positive for nestin, periostin, or DMP-1. In contrast, no β-galactosidase-positive cells were detected in the healthy region. The senescence-associated p16INK4a, p21, and p53 were upregulated in ONFH tissue. We also examined and analyzed a mouse ischemic femoral osteonecrosis model in vivo to verify the association between ONFH and cellular senescence. Human mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) was administered to determine its therapeutic efficacy against cellular senescence and bone collapse. MSC-CM reduced the number of senescent cells and downregulated the aforementioned senescence-related genes. It also decreased the number of empty lacunae 4 weeks after ischemia induction and promoted bone formation. At 6 weeks post-surgery, MSC-CM increased the trabecular bone volume, thereby suppressing bone collapse. We conclude that cellular senescence is associated with ONFH and that MSC-CM suppresses bone collapse in this disorder.
674,909. Medicines. REISSNER, A. March 6, 1950, No. 5625/50. Class 81 (i). A composition for oral administration or injection for preserving the teeth comprises material extracted from the teeth and the associated undeveloped teeth and gum portions of upper and lower jaw and the rising branch of the lower jaw of immature animals particularly calves, with the addition of small quantities of vitamin P and vitamin C and a minor quantity of rib bone including the red marrow. The tooth material contains organically carried fluorine in small amounts. The teeth are ground, dried, and finely powdered, the rib bone is dried and autoclaved for 6 hours and powdered, and these ingredients and the vitamins are mixed and formed into tablets with chocolate or sugar for oral administration. A solution for injection is made by extracting with sodium chloride solution, precipitating impurities by addition of alcohol which is subsequently distilled off, and adding the vitamins to the purified solution.
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an orally applicable composition suppressing generation of periodontal disease inducer and activity of periodontium, decomposing enzyme and accelerating collagen synthesis by containing an extract of Achyranthes japonica and/or an extract of bark of Ulmus macrocapra. SOLUTION: This orally applicable composition is obtained by mixing respectively 0.001-5wt.% of (A) an extract of Achyranthes japonica and/or (B) an extract of bark of Ulmus macrocapra, a polisher (e.g. sodium monohydrogenphosphate), as necessary, a medicinally active component such as a fluorine compound (e.g. sodium fluoride), a wetting agent, a binder, a foaming agent, a flavor, a sweetener, a buffer, an antiseptic agent, a surfactant, a solubilizer and a medicinally active component transferring agent, etc. The extract component A and the component B as solid extracts are respectively obtained by drying dried Achyranthes japonica and bark of Ulmus macrocapara in the shade, thinly cutting, pulverizing, extracting with water or alcohol, filtering and concentrating the resultant filtered solution under a reduced pressure.  The composition can be made to a dentifrice composition or an ointment for curing periodontal disease by selecting the mixing component, as necessary.
Doxepin is recommended for the treatment of:   


  1. Psychoneurotic patients with depression and/or anxiety.
  2. Depression and/or anxiety associated with alcoholism (not to be taken concomitantly with alcohol).
  3. Depression and/or anxiety associated with organic disease (the possibility of drug interaction should be considered if the patient is receiving other drugs concomitantly).
  4. Psychotic depressive disorders with associated anxiety including involutional depression and manic-depressive disorders.



The target symptoms of psychoneurosis that respond particularly well to doxepin include anxiety, tension, depression, somatic symptoms and concerns, sleep disturbances, guilt, lack of energy, fear, apprehension and worry. Clinical experience has shown that doxepin is safe and well tolerated even in the elderly patient. Owing to lack of clinical experience in the pediatric population, doxepin is not recommended for use in pediatric patients under 12 years of age
Behavioral activation is a 12 week psychotherapeutic intervention utilizing a semi-structured format. Initial sessions focus on specific areas (Assessment and orientation, Activation, Problem Solving, Goal Setting, Overcoming Barriers, Avoidance) interspersed as needed by sessions that focus on individual issues and applications. In these sessions the therapists maintains the session structure, but can use techniques presented in earlier sessions based on their functional analysis of the particular case. Parents participate in at least two of the ATA sessions but more active parental participation can be included as needed.
RITUXAN can cause severe, including fatal, infusion-related reactions. Severe reactions typically occurred during the first infusion with time to onset of 30–120 minutes. RITUXAN-induced infusion-related reactions and sequelae include urticaria, hypotension, angioedema, hypoxia, bronchospasm, pulmonary infiltrates, acute respiratory distress syndrome, myocardial infarction, ventricular fibrillation, cardiogenic shock, anaphylactoid events, or death.

Premedicate patients with an antihistamine and acetaminophen prior to dosing. For RA, GPA and MPA, and PV patients, methylprednisolone 100 mg intravenously or its equivalent is recommended 30 minutes prior to each infusion. For pediatric patients with mature B-cell NHL/B-AL, administer prednisone as part of chemotherapy regimen prior to RITUXAN during induction and as needed for subsequent cycles [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 and 2.8)]. Institute medical management (e.g., glucocorticoids, epinephrine, bronchodilators, or oxygen) for infusion-related reactions as needed. Depending on the severity of the infusion-related reaction and the required interventions, temporarily or permanently discontinue RITUXAN. Resume infusion at a minimum 50% reduction in rate after symptoms have resolved. Closely monitor the following patients: those with pre-existing cardiac or pulmonary conditions, those who experienced prior cardiopulmonary adverse reactions, and those with high numbers of circulating malignant cells (greater than or equal to 25,000/mm3) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7), Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
The vast majority of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) have untreated secondary chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Whereas the introduction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator (CFTRm) treatment regime has improved the lung function of pwCF, few studies have been published examining the effect on sinonasal symptoms in children. Our aim was to explore the effect of double CFTRm treatment on CRS and olfaction in children with CF. pwCF were included in this non-randomized cross-sectional study, where an otolaryngologist performed a complete ENT examination before initiating treatment with elaxacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). Twenty-three pwCF aged 6-12 years were included. Eighteen of 23 patients were on a double CFTRm treatment, and 5 patients were CFTRm naive, respectively. Altogether, 19 had normal olfaction, 20 had none or mild CRS symptoms according to SNOT-22, and 14 had a normal endoscopy. None of the patients had symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis lasting for more than 12 weeks, thus none of the patients fulfilled the criteria for CRS. Children with CF treated with double CFTRm have few to no symptoms of CRS and normal olfaction, which is an improvement compared with children following treatment modalities prior to CFTRm.
Sng is a prominent complaint in Taiwanese people with low back pain. "Sng" is created to represent this Taiwanese word- 痠. Based on our preliminary data, sng was one of the most common complaints in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and also one of the most common indication for lumbar spine operations. Back sng is not adequately relieved by pain-killers or even by the lumbar spine operations. By using functional MRI and questionnaires, our preliminary study demonstrated that sng is different from pain in the level of brain perception and the level of subjective concept. It is very likely that sng has its own unique nerve pathway other than pain. The subjective feeling of sng is very similar to sour in taste, so it is likely that acidosis may be involved in the process of sng sensation, especially in the muscle. Delayed onset muscle soreness is a well-known example, and the soreness is dependent on the proton-sensing neurons. Indeed, substantial evidences showed that up to 80% muscle afferents are acid-sensitive but not nociceptors. Therefore, the investigators propose that sng is the perception in the brain when the tissue acidosis is sensed by the somatosensory system, and "sng-ception" is created to indicate the sensation of tissue acidosis. However, the causal connection between the peripheral sngception and the central brain perception of sng is not established. The objective of this proposal is to establish the causal connection between peripheral muscle acidosis and the central brain sng perception. My central hypothesis is that acidosis-evoked sensation in the muscles will cause a central sng perception in the brain. This hypothesis is based on our previous studies that showed sng is different from pain in terms of subjective responses, brain activation areas and clinical impacts. To achieve this goal, two specific aims will be pursued 1. to determine if an acid solution will evokes sng response, and, 2.determining the correlation between the rate of drug application and muscle Sng. Successful establishment of the casual connection between the peripheral muscle acidosis and the central brain sng perception will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of sng mechanism and the potential medication development.
Arsenic exposure is connected with lung toxicity and is related to lung fibrotic changes. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. Various genetic mechanisms and environmental factors induce or exacerbate pulmonary fibrosis. Collagen synthesis induced by sodium arsenite (NaAsO2) is closely associated with IPF. Fibroblasts tend to fine-tune their metabolic networks to support their synthetic requirements in response to environmental stimuli. Alterations in metabolism have an influential role in the pathogenesis of IPF. However, it is unclear how arsenic affects the metabolism in IPF. The urea cycle (UC) is needed for collagen formation, which provides adequate levels of proline (Pro) for biosynthesis of collagen. Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) converts the ammonia to carbamoyl phosphate, which controls the first reaction of the UC. We show that, in arsenite-exposed mice, high amounts of ammonia in the lung microenvironment promotes the expression levels of CPS1 and the Pro metabolism. Reduction of ammonia and CPS1 ablation inhibit collagen synthesis and ameliorate IPF phenotypes induced by arsenite. This work takes advantage of multi-omics data to enhance understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms, the key molecules and the complicated cellular responses to this pollutant, which provide a target for the prevention of pulmonary fibrosis caused by arsenic.
This NIDA-funded multi-site randomized control trial (RCT) examines the effectiveness of an established, intensive case management model for study participants who are awaiting release from four jails and two prisons across Illinois. The investigators seek to demonstrate that a unified case management approach can improve treatment engagement and retention among individuals who face high risks of opioid use disorders, overdose, and related harms. The investigators will examine the impact of case management and peer recovery coaching on participants' engagement with treatment and harm reduction interventions. The investigators will also study secondary outcomes including insurance enrollment, re-arrest, use of mental health services, and more.

ROMI will enroll at least 300 individuals with opioid disorders in the CMPR group, and at least 300 participants in the naloxone-only across five geographically distinct sites of care. All participants will receive harm reduction resources. The investigators hypothesize that the treatment group will display declines in opioid use, re-arrest, self-reported syringe sharing, and overdose risk behaviors relative to the control groups. The investigators will also examine differences between urban - rural and rural differences in treatment engagement and retention engagement, retention, and downstream outcomes across treatment arms. Aside from demonstrating these treatment impacts, the investigators will guide, document and evaluate ROMI's implementation efforts to ensure consistency across sites across sites and to inform future replication of the model in different settings or for different populations.

BACKGROUND: The clinical implications of structural integrity have been a subject of long debate. The oversimplified binary categorization of structural integrity into either healing or retear, along with faulty preoperative baselines for comparison, may contribute to the controversy.
PURPOSE: To determine how the quality of structural integrity in a repaired cuff tendon affects both clinical and structural outcomes by dividing the patients into groups based on integrity and using the immediate postoperative baseline (time zero).
STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
METHODS: A total of 504 patients with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and were followed up for at least a year with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included. The quality of structural integrity was graded using the Sugaya classification. To evaluate clinical outcomes, pain, range of motion, strength, functional scores, and overall satisfaction and function were used for within- and between-group analyses at the last follow-up. For the assessment of structural outcomes, the Goutallier classification for fatty infiltration (FI) and the tangent sign, occupation ratio, and normalized cross-sectional area for muscle atrophy (MA) were used. The baselines for these structural measurements were both the preoperative and the time-zero MRI scans.
RESULTS: The mean clinical follow-up period was 31.8 ± 27.5 months, and the MRI follow-up period was 10.9 ± 5.3 months. There were 178 (35.3%), 228 (45.2%), 58 (11.5%), 14 (2.8%), and 26 (5.2%) shoulders with Sugaya grades 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Regardless of structural integrity, all clinical outcomes at a mean follow-up of 31.8 months after repair significantly improved compared with those before repair. Only in shoulders with Sugaya grade 1 did the FI of the supraspinatus muscle improve significantly from baseline. FI of the infraspinatus muscle did not change significantly in those with grades 1 and 2 but worsened in those with grades 3 and 5. MA measured using the occupation ratio improved significantly in shoulders with Sugaya grades 1 and 2 but declined in those with grade 5.
CONCLUSION: This study established a correlation between improved structural integrity of the repaired cuff tendon and enhanced structural outcomes in rotator cuff muscles. Furthermore, the findings revealed that both FI and MA could be reversed in patients exhibiting high-quality structural integrity. However, these structural improvements were not mirrored in the clinical outcomes.
Patients should be informed that Albuterol Sulfate HFA has a dose counter attached to the actuator. When the patient receives the inhaler, a black dot will appear in the viewing window until it has been primed 3 times, at which point the number 200 will be displayed. The dose counter will count down each time a spray is released. The dose-counter window displays the number of sprays left in the inhaler in units of two (e.g., 200, 198, 196, etc). When the counter displays 20, the color of the numbers will change to red to remind the patient to contact their pharmacist for a refill of medication or consult their physician for a prescription refill. When the dose counter reaches 0, the background will change to solid red. Patients should be informed to discard Albuterol Sulfate HFA inhaler when the dose counter displays 0 or after the expiration date on the product, whichever comes first.
PURPOSE:To provide a drug containing vegetable sterol as an active component and useful as a remedy and preventive for bovine lipomatosis. CONSTITUTION:The objective drug contains a vegetable sterol (e.g. stigmasterol, ergosterol, etc.) as an active component. The bovine lipomatosis is a lethal disease caused by the swelling of the adipose tissue in the abdominal cavity which presses and disorders the digestive tracts, uterus, kidney, etc. resulting in the sympotoms such as anorexia, constipation, etc. The vegetable sterol was found to have remedying and preventive effects to the disease. The drug is usually used by directly mixing a vegetable sterol or crude vegetable sterol to a feed or by dispersing the sterol in a diluent and adding the dispersion to a feed. The bovine lipomatosis can be cured at a dose of 0.5-60g/day per an adult cattle, and prevented at a dose of 0.05-6g daily. The drug has another advantage of low toxicity.
The principal adverse effects of treatment with doxercalciferol injection are hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and oversuppression of PTH (iPTH less than 150 pg/mL). Prolonged hypercalcemia can lead to calcification of soft tissues, including the heart and arteries, and hyperphosphatemia can exacerbate hyperparathyroidism. Oversuppression of PTH may lead to adynamic bone syndrome. All of these potential adverse effects should be managed by regular patient monitoring and appropriate dosage adjustments. During treatment with doxercalciferol injection, patients usually require dose titration, as well as adjustment in co-therapy (i.e., dietary phosphate binders) in order to maximize PTH suppression while maintaining serum calcium and phosphorus levels within prescribed ranges.

In two open-label, single-arm, multi-centered studies, the incidence of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia increased during therapy with doxercalciferol injection (see ADVERSE REACTIONS). The observed increases during doxercalciferol injection treatment underscore the importance of regular safety monitoring of serum calcium and phosphorus levels throughout treatment. Patients with higher pre-treatment serum levels of calcium (> 10.5 mg/dL) or phosphorus (> 6.9 mg/dL) were more likely to experience hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia. Therefore, doxercalciferol injection should not be given to patients with a recent history of hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia, or evidence of vitamin D toxicity.
This is a single-center study which consists of 2 parts, sequentially conducted in 2 separate panels of 24 healthy adult Japanese participants each. Part 1 is a double-blinded (neither physician nor participant knows the treatment that the participant receives), placebo-controlled (placebo is compared with the study medication to test whether the study medication has a real effect in clinical study), randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance) single ascending dose (SAD) part which will consist of a screening phase, a treatment phase, and a follow-up visit. Part 1 will have 3 cohorts (Cohort A, B, and C) with 8 participants each and they will be randomly assigned to receive either a single oral dose of TMC647055 (6 participants) or placebo (2 participants) in combination with RTV. The study duration for each participant will be approximately 5 weeks from screening to follow-up visit as maximum in Part 1. Part 2 is an open-label, randomized, 3-way crossover part which will consist of a screening phase, 3 treatment phases, and a follow-up phase. Each of the 24 participants will receive Treatment A, B, and C in 6 sequences (Treatment ABC, BCA, CAB, ACB, BAC, and CBA) with a washout period of at least 7 days between consecutive treatments. Safety evaluation will include assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram, and physical examination. The study duration for each participant will be approximately 10 weeks from screening to follow-up visit as maximum.
The participants in the control group will receive treatment-as-usual in which non-specific ingredients of the psychotherapeutic approach will be administered, such as psychological understanding to the management of an individual patient, identifying current problems, providing opportunities for disclosure, reassurance, and deep breathing exercise. They will be given equal amount of time and attention from the professional figure compared to the intervention groups, whereby they will also attach to an 8-session program (with one session per week for 8 weeks). Each weekly TAU session will be held at the same time (± 2 hours) and at the same venue (in the psychology lab).
Acute myeloid leukemia is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder with an incidence of 3 to 4 per 100 000 men and women per year and a median age at diagnosis of about 70 years. Prognosis, especially in older patients, has remained very poor. In patients considered suitable for intensive chemotherapy, the combination of an anthracycline and cytarabine remains the standard of care. For patients achieving a complete remission (CR), postremission therapy (PRT) ranging from chemotherapy to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is required; intensive PRT is still under debate in older patients. Beyond pre-treatment genetics-based risk stratification, measurable residual disease (MRD) during treatment and follow up emerges as an important prognostic factor in first CR. Furthermore, MRD may provide a tool for a read-out of therapeutic efficacy. In this diagnostic meta-study the investigators intend to measure MRD using multiparameter flow cytometry across up-front randomized clinical trials which in total will accrue more than 1000 patients. According to the leukemia-associated phenotype at diagnosis or the different-from-normal approach, MRD will be assessed early (after induction) and late (after consolidation) during treatment. The aim of the study is to show that levels of MRD measured early during treatment are closely related to overall survival and thus may serve as an early surrogate. There is a growing public demand that new, promising drugs are approved for therapy as rapidly as possible. Therefore, it is of great interest to obtain these approvals based on early biomarker endpoints such as MRD rather than on long-term survival endpoints.
