Interleukin-17 A (IL-17 A) contributes to inflammation and causes secondary injury in post-stroke patients. However, little is known regarding the mechanisms that IL-17 A is implicated in the processes of neuronal death during ischemia. In this study, the mouse models of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R)-induced ischemic stroke and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-simulated in vitro ischemia in neurons were employed to explore the role of IL-17 A in promoting neuronal apoptosis. Mechanistically, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced neuronal apoptosis was accelerated by IL-17 A activation through the caspase-12-dependent pathway. Blocking calpain or phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ) inhibited IL-17 A-mediated neuronal apoptosis under ERS by inhibiting caspase-12 cleavage. Src and IL-17 A are linked, and PLCγ directly binds to activated Src. This binding causes intracellular Ca2+ flux and activates the calpain-caspase-12 cascade in neurons. The neurological scores showed that intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of an IL-17 A neutralizing mAb decreased the severity of I/R-induced brain injury and suppressed apoptosis in MCAO mice. Our findings reveal that IL-17 A increases caspase-12-mediated neuronal apoptosis, and IL-17 A suppression may have therapeutic potential for ischemic stroke.
Obesity or excessive weight gain is identified as the most important and significant risk factor in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in all age groups. It has reached pandemic dimensions, making the treatment of obesity crucial in the prevention and management of type 2 DM worldwide. Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that moderate and sustained weight loss can improve blood glucose levels, insulin action and reduce the need for diabetic medications. A combined approach of diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications can successfully reduce obesity and subsequently ameliorate the ill effects and deadly complications of DM. This approach also helps largely in the prevention, control and remission of DM. Obesity and DM are chronic diseases that are increasing globally, requiring new approaches to manage and prevent diabetes in obese individuals. Therefore, it is essential to understand the mechanistic link between the two and design a comprehensive approach to increase life expectancy and improve the quality of life in patients with type 2 DM and obesity. This literature review provides explicit information on the clinical definitions of obesity and type 2 DM, the incidence and prevalence of type 2 DM in obese individuals, the indispensable role of obesity in the pathophysiology of type 2 DM and their mechanistic link. It also discusses clinical studies and outlines the recent management approaches for the treatment of these associated conditions. Additionally, in vivo studies on obesity and type 2 DM are discussed here as they pave the way for more rigorous development of therapeutic approaches.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is prevalent and morbid in the elderly, and its associated costs exceed $26 billion annually. Although effective therapy exists, it is underutilized. This is particularly true for non-pharmacologic therapies, which are at least as effective as drugs but safer, and recommended as the initial approach by every national panel. If therapies such as biofeedback (which targets pelvic muscles and detrusor suppression) are to become more widely used, they will require simplification, fewer and briefer sessions, less expensive equipment, and less sophisticated therapists. Unfortunately, such protocols cannot yet be devised because it is unknown which components are essential. We postulate that the mechanisms mediating effectiveness can be identified and that such knowledge will make it possible to enhance efficacy and to formulate more feasible and cost-effective protocols. Since reduction in UI correlates weakly with improved quality of life, however, it is important that biofeedback's impact on life quality be assessed concomitantly to ensure that formulation of such streamlined methods does not eliminate components essential for improved quality of life, even if they have no physiological correlates. We will address these issues by treating at least 150 elderly subjects with urge UI in an 8-week course of biofeedback. We will collect clinical and quality of life data and perform extensive physiologic testing on each subject at baseline and 8 weeks later. Improvement will be correlated with change in physiologic and quality of life parameters to identify the parameters that likely mediated it. Knowledge from this study should identify predictors and mechanisms mediating success of biofeedback; suggest ways that it could be further improved; facilitate development of less expensive, quicker, and more feasible protocols to deliver it (potentially permitting application to less motivated or cognitively impaired patients); and shed insight into mechanisms that may even improve efficacy of other interventions.
About 140 million people worldwide live at an altitude above 2500 m. Studies have showed an increase of the incidence of hyperuricemia among plateau populations, but little is known about the possible mechanisms. This study aims to assess the effects of high altitude on hyperuricemia and explore the corresponding mechanisms at the histological, inflammatory and molecular levels. This study finds that intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) exposure results in an increase of serum uric acid level and a decrease of uric acid clearance rate. Compared with the control group, the IHH group shows significant increases in hemoglobin concentration (HGB) and red blood cell counts (RBC), indicating that high altitude hyperuricemia is associated with polycythemia. This study also shows that IHH exposure induces oxidative stress, which causes the injury of liver and renal structures and functions. Additionally, altered expressions of organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) of kidney have been detected in the IHH exposed rats. The adenosine deaminase (ADA) expression levels and the xanthione oxidase (XOD) and ADA activity of liver of the IHH exposure group have significantly increased compared with those of the control group. Furthermore, the spleen coefficients, IL-2, IL-1β and IL-8, have seen significant increases among the IHH exposure group. TLR/MyD88/NF-κB pathway is activated in the process of IHH induced inflammatory response in joints. Importantly, these results jointly show that IHH exposure causes hyperuricemia. IHH induced oxidative stress along with liver and kidney injury, unusual expression of the uric acid synthesis/excretion regulator and inflammatory response, thus suggesting a potential mechanism underlying IHH-induced hyperuricemia.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FPCT) parameters for detecting recurrent disease and the outcomes of salvage surgery in patients with locally advanced oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) after multimodal treatment. In total, 69 patients with locally advanced TSCC were treated with multimodal therapy. All patients underwent whole-body FPCT scans 4-10 months after the initial surgery. The analysis included FPCT parameters, such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG). Histological examination was used as the reference standard. Patients with recurrent TSCC underwent salvage surgery or surgery plus systemic treatment. This study included 69 patients: 36 in the recurrent TSCC group and 33 in the non-recurrent TSCC group. The SUVmax, MTV, and TLG in the recurrent TSCC group were 11.3 ± 3.6, 28.3 ± 15.6 cm3, and 113.2 ± 46.8 g, respectively; these values were 5.9 ± 3.6, 5.1 ± 2.2 cm3, and 13.4 ± 4.8 g, in the non-recurrent TSCC group respectively. The two groups had significant differences in terms of SUVmax, MTV, and TLG. In the recurrent TSCC group, 91.6 % of patients presented with local, locoregional, and regional disease and underwent salvage surgery plus systemic therapy, whereas 8.4 % had locoregional recurrence with distant metastases alone and underwent surgery plus systemic therapy. The patients were followed up for 12-60 months; 19 and 20 patients in the recurrent and non-recurrent TSCC groups showed no evidence of disease, whereas 11 and 8 were alive with the disease. Local recurrence or distant metastases led to the deaths of six patients in the recurrent TSCC group and five in the non-recurrent TSCC group. No significant differences in survival were observed between the two groups. FPCT parameters can detect the recurrence of locally advanced TSCC after multimodal treatment. Early salvage surgery can improve the treatment outcomes for recurrent TSCC.
Laparoscopic-assisted vaginal radical hysterectomy (LARVH) and abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) have been widely applied to treat cervical carcinoma. But LARVH and ARH have not been fully investigated in treating cervical carcinoma after injury associated with injury. This research is intended to provide an up-to-date basis for comparing LARVH with ARH in early stage cervical carcinoma. Comparison between LARVH and ARH in cervical carcinoma was carried out through a combination of related research. Eligible articles from databases such as PubMed and Embase were screened using an established search strategy. This report covered the results of LARVH versus ARH in cervical carcinoma. The average difference and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for the combination of consecutive variables. The combination of categorical variables was performed with the odds ratio (OR) 95% confidence interval. Through the identification of 1137 publications, eight of them were chosen to be analysed. Among them, 363 were treated with LARVH and 326 were treated with ARH. Eight trials showed that LARVH was associated with a reduced risk of postoperative wound infection than ARH (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.1-0.55, p = 0.0009). Five trials showed that there was no difference in the risk of postoperative bleeding after surgery (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.42-3.29, p = 0.76). We also did not differ significantly in the duration of the surgery (OR, 1.79; 95% CI, -6.58 to 10.15, p = 0.68). So, the two surgical methods differ significantly only in the risk of postoperative wound infection.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in world wild, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Detection and early intervention are difficult because pathogenesis of NSCLC is not yet entirely clear.Most of them are advanced or metastatic patients, so approach 3/4 NSCLC undergo chemotherapy. Fewer treatment options exist on NSCLC whom is wild type of EGFR. The patient did not benefit from the existing treatment regimen after first-line treatment. There is currently no effective drug to treat this group of patients.

Apatinib, a novel targeted inhibitor of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), shows significant antitumor activity in the patients with GC. The purpose of this study is to determine whether apatinib plus chemotherapy drug can improve progression free survival compared with chemotherapy drug in patients with metastatic the non-small cell lung cancer who failed one lines of chemotherapy.
BACKGROUND: Long-COVID symptoms remain incompletely defined due to a large heterogeneity in the populations studied, case definitions, and settings of care. The aim of this study was to assess, in patients accessing care for Long-COVID, the profile of symptoms reported, the possible clustering of symptoms and cases, the functional status compared to pre-infection, and the impact on working activity.
METHODS: Multicentre cohort study with a collection of both retrospective and prospective data. Demographics, comorbidities, severity and timing of acute COVID, subjective functional status, working activity and presence of 30 different symptoms were collected using a shortened version of the WHO Post COVID-19 Case Report Form. The impact on working activity was assessed in multivariable logistic regression models. Clustering of symptoms was analysed by hierarchical clustering and the clustering of cases by two-step automatic clustering.
RESULTS: The study evaluated 1297 individuals (51.5% women) from 30 clinical centres. Men and women had different profiles in terms of comorbidities, vaccination status, severity and timing of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Fatigue (55.9%) and dyspnea (47.2%) were the most frequent symptoms. Women reported more symptoms (3.6 vs. 3.1, p < 0.001), with a significantly higher prevalence of memory loss, difficult concentration, cough, palpitation or tachycardia, dermatological abnormalities, brain fog, headache and visual disturbances. Dyspnea was more common in men. In the cluster analysis of the 19 more common symptoms, five aggregations were found: four two-symptom clusters (smell and taste reduction; anxiety and depressed mood; joint pain or swelling and muscle pain; difficult concentration and memory loss) and one six-symptom cluster (brain fog, equilibrium/gait disturbances, headache, paresthesia, thoracic pain, and palpitations/tachycardia). In a multivariable analysis, headache, dyspnea, difficult concentration, disturbances of equilibrium or gait, visual disturbances and muscular pain were associated with reduced or interrupted working activity. Clustering of cases defined two clusters, with distinct characteristics in terms of phase and severity of acute infection, age, sex, number of comorbidities and symptom profile.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide further evidence that Long-COVID is a heterogeneous disease with manifestations that differ by sex, phase of the pandemic and severity of acute disease, and support the possibility that multiple pathways lead to different clinical manifestations.
The activity intervention is MoVo-LISA (Göhner \& Fuchs, 2007). A psychological program with two group sessions of 90 minutes and one one-on-one session of about 15 minutes. The patients develop aims for their health, ideas, how to reach these aims through physical activity and make detailed plans, how to implement activity in their everyday routine. Difficulties and barriers are discussed.
Rosiglitazone maleate: CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AND MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

  * Thiazolidinediones, including rosiglitazone, cause or exacerbate congestive heart failure in some patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. After initiation of AVANDAMET, and after dose increases, observe patients carefully for signs and symptoms of heart failure (including excessive, rapid weight gain, dyspnea, and/or edema). If these signs and symptoms develop, the heart failure should be managed according to current standards of care. Furthermore, discontinuation or dose reduction of AVANDAMET must be considered.
  * AVANDAMET is not recommended in patients with symptomatic heart failure. Initiation of AVANDAMET in patients with established NYHA Class III or IV heart failure is contraindicated. [See Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2).]
  * A meta-analysis of 52 clinical trials (mean duration 6 months; 16,995 total patients), most of which compared rosiglitazone to placebo, showed rosiglitazone to be associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Three other trials (mean duration 46 months; 14,067 total patients), comparing rosiglitazone to some other approved oral antidiabetic agents or placebo, showed a statistically non-significant increased risk of myocardial infarction, and a statistically non-significant decreased risk of death. There have been no clinical trials directly comparing cardiovascular risk of rosiglitazone and ACTOS® (pioglitazone, another thiazolidinedione), but in a separate trial, pioglitazone (when compared to placebo) did not show an increased risk of myocardial infarction or death. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3).]



Metformin hydrochloride: LACTIC ACIDOSIS

  * Lactic acidosis is a rare, but serious complication that can occur due to metformin accumulation. The risk increases with conditions such as sepsis, dehydration, excess alcohol intake, hepatic insufficiency, renal impairment, and acute congestive heart failure. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.1).]
  * Symptoms include malaise, myalgias, respiratory distress, increasing somnolence, and nonspecific abdominal distress. Laboratory abnormalities include low pH, increased anion gap and elevated blood lactate. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.1).]
  * If acidosis is suspected, discontinue AVANDAMET and hospitalize the patient immediately [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
ABSTRACT          Recently it has been shown that very high concentrations of lactic acid accumulate in the brains of people with Huntington's disease and that the neurons which die in the brains of these patients  are   virtually   overexcited  to  death  by  the neurotransmitter  glutamate.  There is no know cure for Huntington's chorea. A 216 base pair cDNA reconstructed from the antisense strand of baboon urate oxidase gene encodes a 64 amino acid, 7.6 kD, peripheral membrane associated protein which appears to be an intracellular activator of the glutamate receptor, brain lactate dehyrogenase and vacuolar ATPase. These three proteins acting together are capable of leading to the death of neurons and to deposits of high concentration of lactic acid observed in the brains of Huntington's disease victims. Although not yet identified, a similar protein is expected to be present in humans. Because the 7.6 kD protein is encoded by DNA homologous to the antisense strand of urate oxidase mRNA it cannot be expressed in the presence of a normal wild type urate oxidase gene, but mutations and/or deletions occurring in strategic regions of the gene can allow expressions of the protein.  Since this protein cannot be expressed in healthy humans, immunotherapeutic reagents directed against it should be useful for stopping Huntington's disease in humans without having any effect on other metabolic reactions.
This is an open-label (both physician and participants know the identity of the intervention) and single centre study. This study will be conducted in 3 parts (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). The study consists of 3 phases including, the screening phase (within 21 days prior to the start of study medication), treatment phase (Part 1: 20 days; Part 2: 12 days; Part 3: 16 days), and the follow-up phase (Part 1 and Part 2: approximately 14 days after the last administration of study medication and Part 3: 14 days after the last administration of ketaconazole). Approximately 36 participants will be enrolled in the study (12 participants in each part). Part 1 is randomized (study medication is assigned by chance) and 3-way cross-over (method used to switch participants from one treatment arm to another in a clinical study) part of the study. Participants in Part 1 will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment sequences (Period 1, Period 2, and Period 3) to receive single dose of 3 formulations of JNJ-40411813 (Formulation A: hard gelatin capsule filled with beads; Formulation B: immediate release tablet; and Formulation C: nanosuspension formulation) without food. Each period will be separated by a wash out period (no treatment) of at least 1 week. Part 2 is randomized and 2-way cross-over part of the study. Participants in Part 2 will be randomly assigned 1 of 2 treatment sequences (Period 1 and Period 2) to receive single dose of the selected solid dose formulation of JNJ-40411813 from Part 1 without food and with food separated by a wash out period of at least 1 week. Part 3 is single-arm sequential (carried out in a staged approach) part of the study. Participants in Part 3 will receive single dose of the selected solid dose formulation of JNJ-40411813 from Part 1 on two occasions (Day 1 and Day 10) without food along with ketoconazole from Day 6 to Day 14 with food. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, vital signs, physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory tests which will be monitored throughout the study. The total duration of study participation for a participant will be 8 weeks.
