The genotype presented by the patient in relation to CYP2C8, 2C9 and 2C19 could influence the absorption and metabolism of these NSAIDs with or without the gastric protectors, and may differ from anti-inflammatory action and side effects. In this proposal, 20 volunteers will be genotyped and phenotyped for these haplotypes of cytochrome P450. For analysis of the proposed genes, saliva will be collected as a source of genomic DNA. For molecular analysis will be performed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are used produced and validated by Applied Biosystems®. For pharmacokinetics will be collected saliva samples at various times after ingestion of a tablet of naproxen (500 mg) or naproxen associated to esomeprazole (500 + 20 mg), using mass spectrometry for analysis of drug concentrations in the samples. The results will be described with a 0.05 significance level.
Various antidepressants have introduced in clinical practice for pain management, but it is important to understand how to properly use them. We therefore performed a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare and rank the efficacy and safety of antidepressants for patients with chronic back pain. We identified eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the efficacy and safety of antidepressants for chronic back pain from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov, searching from inception to May 2023. Six categories of antidepressants for the treatment of chronic back pain were included, and the surface under the cumulative ranking probabilities was applied to rank the treatment strategies. Overall, we selected 19 RCTs recruiting 2903 patients for the meta-analysis. Tricyclic antidepressants presented the best relative effects for relief in pain score (surface under the cumulative ranking, 84.4%). The results of pairwise comparison analyses found the use of serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) significantly reduced pain score and low disability score compared with placebo, irrespective of treatment duration. Noradrenaline-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (relative risk [RR], 2.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30-6.03; P = .008) and SNRIs (RR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.07-1.27; P < .001) significantly increased the risk of adverse events. SNRIs were associated with an increased risk of withdrawal due to adverse events (RR, 2.37; 95% CI, 1.64-3.43; P < .001). This study found that antidepressants are more efficacious than placebos for treating chronic back pain, and tricyclic antidepressants are the most likely medications that lead to pain relief.

The cutaneous ulcer is a painful and debilitating bacterial infection that is common in rural areas of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Systematic treatment with topical antiseptics such as chlorhexidine cream in theory represents a viable treatment option, but in reality, effective treatment of cutaneous ulcers in Papua New Guinea is greatly hindered by the remote and highly inaccessible areas that affected communities often live in. In a search for more accessible treatment options, plant medicines used by different communities in Papua New Guinea have been tested to identified the sap of the tree, Ficus septica, as a promising antibacterial agent in vitro. The sap displays comparable activity to chlorhexidine in disc diffusion assays with gram-positive bacterial wound pathogens. It also appears to dampen the pro-inflammatory responses of neutrophils by down regulating interleukin-6 expression. The sap forms a flexible plastic-like wound covering which may help deter flies from feeding on the wounds, and unlike chlorhexidine cream, the Ficus tree is easy to find where affected communities live. For this reason, this study aims to perform an open label clinical trial using an interventional approach, to compare the effect of this antiseptic plant sap and of a standard topical antiseptic, on the rate of wound development prevention and bacterial growth. If shown to be effective, this readily available plant medicine can provide a zero-cost treatment option in remote areas of PNG.
We conducted random surveys (n = 1002)--501 living in the intervention areas but not directly receiving the SAFE intervention and 501 living in the control areas not receiving the SAFE intervention with a 36-month assessment interval, prior to and after implementation of SAFE. Thus, we examined intervention outcomes both in direct SAFE program participants and their larger communities. We used multilevel modeling to examine mediators and moderators of the effects of SAFE on HIV outcomes at the individual and community levels and determine the ways in which changes in HIV outcomes feed back into economic outcomes and food security at later interviews.
It was aimed to evaluate whether gallic acid (GA) have a beneficial effect in the testicular ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) model in rats for the first time. Testicular malondialdehyde, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, superoxide dismutase, catalase, high mobility group box 1 protein, nuclear factor kappa B, tumor necrosis factoralpha, interleukin-6, myeloperoxidase, 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein, activating transcription factor 6, CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein and caspase-3 levels were determined using colorimetric methods. The oxidative stress, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis levels increased statistically significantly in the IRI group compared with the sham operated group (p < 0.05). GA application improved these damage significantly (p < 0.05). Moreover, it was found that the results of histological examinations supported the biochemical results to a statistically significant extent. Our findings suggested that GA may be evaluated as a protective agent against testicular IRI.

Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease typically diagnosed by elevated cholestatic liver enzymes and a positive anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) test. The clinical importance of AMA positivity in patients with normal cholestatic liver enzymes is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between PBC and AMA positivity detected in individuals with normal cholestatic enzyme levels. The files of patients with AMA and/or AMA-M2 positivity between 2009 and 2018 and whose alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were below upper limit of normal (ULN) at initial admission were retrospectively analyzed. The ALP levels were normal in all patients. All patients had AMA positivity demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) or AMA-M2 positivity demonstrated by ELISA. A total of 16 patients underwent liver biopsy and seven (43.75%) showed changes consistent with those with PBC. A total of 12 patients were diagnosed with PBC and were treated and followed up with this diagnosis. People with AMA positivity and normal cholestasis enzyme levels are closely associated with PBC. Some of these patients were diagnosed with PBC as a result of biopsy and some were diagnosed by clinical and laboratory findings during follow-up.. The patients with an AMA titration of 1/20 were not associated with PBC. In our study, results similar to the studies confirmed by biopsies were obtained. In this regard, there is a need for prospective and retrospective studies with longer follow-up periods.

BACKGROUND: Implantation of the left atrial appendage occluder (LAAO) has been proven to prevent stroke effectively in patients with atrial fibrillation who cannot tolerate anticoagulants. Incomplete endothelization of LAAO may cause device-related thrombus, and currently no good image modality exists to clearly see LAAO endothelialization. We aimed to use coronary optic coherence tomography (OCT) to visualize LAAO endothelialization.
METHODS AND RESULTS: We enrolled 14 patients (72.8±9.4 years old) undergoing pulmonary vein isolation with a preexisting LAAO implanted more than 1 year ago (5 Watchman and 9 Amulet). After pulmonary vein isolation, we did OCT via steerable sheath and coronary guiding catheter to adjust OCT probe location and injected contrast medium to visualize the LAAO surface. In vitro testing was also performed to see the bare occluder. In vitro OCT showed the surface of the bare device as an interrupted granule pattern, which included the Watchman surface polytetrafluoroethylene membrane string, Amulet disc metal strut, and inner polytetrafluoroethylene membrane string. In the implanted Watchman, OCT showed endothelialization as a smooth surface layer with noninterrupted coarser granules. In the implanted Amulet, OCT showed endothelialization as thin (early) or thick (late) endothelialization layer covering struts with OCT shadows. Among patients with Watchman, 2 showed no, 2 early, and 1 complete endothelialization. Among patients with Amulet, 2 showed no, 3 early, and 4 late endothelialization.
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated the feasibility of OCT to visualize LAAO endothelization with high resolution. Further studies are needed to determine antithrombotic regimens if incomplete endothelization is detected. A new OCT catheter may be designed specifically for LAAO.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the performance, cost-effectiveness and additional findings of combined detailed ultrasound and biochemical screening for risks of major fetal trisomies in the first-trimester.
METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis study, we estimated the risk of trisomies 21, 18 and 13 based on maternal age, fetal nuchal translucency thickness, nasal bone, ductus venosus pulsatility index velocity, tricuspid regurgitation, fetal heart rate, free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A in singleton pregnant women, and performed non-invasive prenatal testing for women with risks of trisomy 21 between 1:500 and 1:300. Invasive diagnostic testing was performed for women with positive or failed non-invasive prenatal testing result and in the high-risk group of this screening method. The direct costs were compared between this strategy and the non-invasive prenatal testing which alone used as first-line screening for all pregnant women.
RESULTS: Among 25,155 singleton pregnant women who underwent screening, 24,361 were available for analysis, of these, 194 cases underwent non-invasive prenatal testing. Among the 24,361 women, 39, 19, and 7 had trisomies 21, 18 and 13, respectively. The use of this strategy could potentially detect approximately 94.87% of trisomy 21 cases, 100% of trisomy 18 cases, and 100% of trisomy 13 cases, with false-positive rates of 2.49%, 0.41%, and 0.49%, respectively. The overall detection rate and overall false-positive rates were 96.92% and 2.52%, respectively. The detection rate was 100% in the advanced age group and 94.12% in the general age group. Additionally, structural abnormalities were detected in 137 fetuses, and 44 fetuses had other chromosomal abnormalities. The total cost of this strategy was $3,730,843.30, and the cost per person tested was $153.15. The total cost of using non-invasive prenatal testing as the first-line strategy would be $6,813,387.04 and the cost per person tested was $279.68.
CONCLUSIONS: Our strategy is an efficient and cost-effective approach for detecting major trisomies and identifying more fetuses with a potential abnormality. Therefore, this strategy is a valuable screening method and highly feasible in the clinical setting.
Compared to Western populations, Chinese and Asians possess distinct genetics, lifestyles, and dietary habits. They tend to have shorter stature, lower Body Mass Index (BMI), and higher body fat percentages than Western populations. The aim of this study was to compare disparities in maternal-fetal outcomes by combining pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain (GWG) based on distinct US and Chinese guidelines. A total of 2,271 pregnant women who received perinatal care at Fooyin University Hospital from 2016 to 2021 were included. Logistic regression analysis categorized women into twelve groups based on the two criteria to explore the relationships between BMI and GWG, and maternal-fetal outcomes. Among the subjects, only 23.2% and 21.8% women had a normal weight BMI and adequate GWG, based on US and Chinese criteria, respectively. As BMI and GWG increase, the likelihood of developing complications such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, Cesarean section, and Large for Gestational Age also rises. Conversely, underweight women with excessive GWG exhibited lower risk of preterm birth either by US or Chinese guidelines. Two criteria exhibited similar odds for investigated outcomes, except for gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. Women had more than double the odds of developing gestational hypertension or preeclampsia when using US criteria compared to Chinese criteria. Therefore, it is essential for Asian, especially Chinese women, to be aware of the differences in adverse outcomes such as gestational hypertension or preeclampsia when using US criteria.
The study included two strata, which were to be treated in parallel. The first stratum consisted of CML-patients in CP, which had been on nilotinib treatment before entering the study. These patients did not optimally respond to the previous treatment. The second stratum consisted of patients with CML in AP or BC and patients with relapsed/refractory Ph+ ALL and Ph+ ALL patients with MRD, with or without previous nilotinib treatment. Patients were treated with 300mg nilotinib BID during the escalation phase (12 months) with increasing doses of ruxolitinib. The dose expansion phase (12 months) began following the determination of the MTD of the combination and the decision to explore the cohort for confirmation of RPIID. In this phase, safety and tolerability of the MTD and/or potential RPIID was to be further evaluated, with the purpose of establishing that this dose is suitable for use in this patient group.
INTRODUCTION: Despite the significant decline in the incidence of pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (AKI) in recent decades due to advancements in medicine and increased awareness of this disease, it remains an important risk factor for maternal morbidity and mortality. However, as fertilization techniques allow women of advanced age to become pregnant, the incidence of pregnancy-related AKI has increased. Consequently, early identification of and intervention for pregnancy-related AKI are particularly important.
METHODS: This was a retrospective clinical analysis. Data were collected from pregnant patients who were treated in the ICU of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2014 to June 2020; The patients were divided into two groups based on their kidney function status: AKI and non-AKI. Additionally, they were further categorized into recovered and non-recovered groups based on their prognosis. The Wilcoxon rank sum test and the chi-square test were used for multigroup comparisons, while logistic regression analysis was used for the analysis of risk factors. P < .05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference in all correlation analyses.
RESULTS: Among 874 pregnant women in this study, 136 had AKI (15.56%), while 36 developed chronic renal insufficiency (26.47%). Statistically significant associations were shown for shock (P = .002), sepsis (P < .001), coagulopathies (P = .001), liver insufficiency (P < .001), postpartum hemorrhage (P = .016), intrauterine fetal death (P = .042) and mechanical ventilation (P = .006) between the AKI-group and the non-AKI group. The development of AKI based on an elevated baseline creatinine level was significantly related to the outcome of renal function (P < .001), while a significant difference was shown in the use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) between the recovery group and the non-recovery group (P = .023).
CONCLUSION: We identified the relevant risk factors leading to pregnancy-related AKI and affecting the patients' prognosis. Shock, sepsis, coagulation disorders, liver insufficiency, postpartum hemorrhage, intrauterine fetal death and mechanical ventilation are independent risk factors for pregnancy-related AKI, while an elevated baseline creatine level is a key factor for poor prognosis. Meanwhile, early CRRT can effectively reverse renal outcomes.
Antihistamines are available in the form of free bases as well as salts i.e. hydrochloride, maleate, tannate etc. Frequently, it is necessary to utilise antihistamines in the form of tannate salt because such salts are generally quite stable and may be administered in such from without untoward side effects. Tannic acid, also known as tannin, is a well known naturally occurring substance. Tannic acid, which is available commercially, usually contain about 5 % of water, has a molecular weight of about 1700 and is typically produced from Turkish or Chinese nutgall. Antihistamine tannates, presently manufactured commercially, are relatively impure. Such tannates are prepared by the reaction of antihistamine free base with tannic acid and using a volatile solvent, isopropanol (IPA). The yield is only fair (around 70 %) and decomposition products e.g. 2-5 % along with significant amount of volatile solvent, isopropanol (6-10 %) remains with the product, which cannot be removed. According to present invention, for specific types of tannates, isopropanol  (IPA) is removed by adding water while stirring and dispersing the wet cake of tannate. It is then filtered and the tannate residue is dried to obtain pharmaceutical grade tannate. Tannates like chlorpheniramine tannate and pyrilamine tannates have been prepared by this method.
