The invention relates to an application of mud snail oligopeptide in lung cancer resistance and especially relates to the application of the mud snail oligopeptide in a drug for resisting lung cancer H1299 tumor cells. An amino acid sequence of the mud snail oligopeptide is Gln-Pro-Pro-Gly-Leu. The mud snail oligopeptide is prepared by performing enzymolysis to mud snail tissue with trypsin with the mud snail as a raw material and performing separation and purification through gel chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. The mud snail oligopeptide can significantly inhibit lung cancer H1299 tumor cells with the proliferation inhibition rate of the H1299 cells being 21.3-74.3% and the influence rates of early apoptosis and late apoptosis of the lung cancer H1299 cells respectively being 15-19.74% and 33-36.43%, which prove that the mud snail oligopeptide has a significant anti-tumor activity. The mud snail oligopeptide has excellent development prospect. The research on the mud snail oligopeptide in inhibition of the lung cancer H1299 tumor cells can provide theoretical support for development of anti-lung cancer drugs.
AIMS: Advanced chronic liver disease and advanced chronic liver disease-related ascites have a high mortality. The pharmacological treatment of ascites and fluid overload has changed little over time. Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitor is an untested potential novel treatment in cirrhosis, as it has survival benefits in heart failure, which has similar pathophysiological fluid overload mechanisms. Before investigating empagliflozin's potential benefit in cirrhosis, its safety must be addressed.
METHODS: Ten participants (five each with compensated or decompensated advanced chronic liver disease, based on Child-Pugh class) received empagliflozin 10 mg orally daily for 4 weeks with 2 weeks follow-up. Empagliflozin safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were investigated.
RESULTS: In total, eight patients (80%) reported an adverse event, and three patients (30%) experienced a serious adverse event, one of which was attributed to empagliflozin. Overall, the frequency of adverse events was similar to previous phase 3 trials of gliflozins. Higher plasma empagliflozin concentrations did not significantly increase the risk of adverse events.
CONCLUSIONS: Four-week treatment with empagliflozin was safe and well tolerated in patients with advanced chronic liver disease. These preliminary data support assessment of long-term treatment on disease-related and mortality outcomes in patients with cirrhosis through randomized control trials.
Oral tobacco (Camel Snus) was provided to the participants for an 12 weeks. Participants were encouraged to completely substitute snus for cigarettes and asked to use at least 6-8 pieces a day or optimally every 1-2 h and more if necessary. They were advised to reduce consumption by half during weeks 7-9 and three-quarters during weeks 10-12.
BACKGROUND: Poor uptake to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is still challenging around the world. There have been few nationwide studies investigating whether PR impacts patient outcomes in COPD. We investigated the change of annual PR implementation rate, medical costs, and COPD outcomes including exacerbation rates and mortality between 2015 and 2019.
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does PR implementation improve outcomes in patients with COPD in terms of direct cost, exacerbation, and mortality?
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Data of patients with COPD extracted from a large Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment service database (2015-2019) were analyzed to determine the trends of annual PR implementation rate and direct medical costs of PR. Comparison of COPD exacerbation rates between pre-PR and post-PR, and the time to first exacerbation and mortality rate according to PR implementation, were also assessed.
RESULTS: Among all patients with COPD in South Korea, only 1.43% received PR. However, the annual PR implementation rate gradually increased from 0.03% to 1.4% during 4 years, especially after health insurance coverage commencement. The direct medical cost was significantly higher in the PR group than the non-PR group, but the costs in these groups showed decreasing and increasing trends, respectively. Both the incidence rate and frequency of moderate-to-severe and severe exacerbations were lower during the post-PR period compared with the pre-PR period. The time to the first moderate-to-severe and severe exacerbations was longer in the PR group than the non-PR group. Finally, PR implementation was associated with a significant decrease in mortality.
INTERPRETATION: We concluded that health insurance coverage increases PR implementation rates. Moreover, PR contributes toward improving outcomes including reducing exacerbation and mortality in patients with COPD. However, despite the well-established benefits of PR, its implementation rate remains suboptimal.
Long-term animal carcinogenicity studies have not been done with penicillamine. There is a report that five of ten autoimmune disease-prone NZB hybrid mice developed lymphocytic leukemia after 6 months' intraperitoneal treatment with a dose of 400 mg/kg penicillamine 5 days per week.

Penicillamine is directly mutagenic to S. typhimurium strain TA92 in the Ames test; mutagenicity is enhanced by kidney postmitochondrial subcellular fraction 9. Penicillamine does not induce gene mutations in Chinese hamster V79 cells.

Penicillamine induces sister-chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations in cultivated mammalian cells. No studies on the effect of penicillamine on fertility are available.
The study design includes an age- and dose-escalation (low/middle/high dose) in two adult age groups (young adults \[18-59 years\] and older adults \[≥60 years\]). Study will be conducted in two parts, part 1 will enrolled young adults and part 2 will enroll older adults. A sentinel dosing approach will be used for close monitoring of safety to minimize risk to participants. Participants will be divided into the sentinel cohort and the remainder of cohort. Participants in part 1 will receive of one of two RSV vaccine formulations at one of 3 antigen dose levels or placebo. Participants in part 2 will receive of one of two RSV vaccine formulations at one of 3 antigen dose levels or positive control AREXVY. Detailed characterization of safety (including safety laboratory evaluation) and immune responses will be observed.

Teratogenic effects: Pregnancy Category C. Loteprednol etabonate has been shown to be embryotoxic (delayed ossification) and teratogenic (increased incidence of meningocele, abnormal left common carotid artery, and limb flexures) when administered orally to rabbits during organogenesis at a dose of 3 mg/kg/day (35 times the maximum daily clinical dose), a dose which caused no maternal toxicity. The no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) for these effects was 0.5 mg/kg/day (6 times the maximum daily clinical dose). Oral treatment of rats during organogenesis resulted in teratogenicity (absent innominate artery at ≥5 mg/kg/day doses, and cleft palate and umbilical hernia at ≥50 mg/kg/day) and embryotoxicity (increased post-implantation losses at 100 mg/kg/day and decreased fetal body weight and skeletal ossification with ≥50 mg/kg/day). Treatment of rats with 0.5 mg/kg/day (6 times the maximum clinical dose) during organogenesis did not result in any reproductive toxicity. Loteprednol etabonate was maternally toxic (significantly reduced body weight gain during treatment) when administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis at doses of ≥5 mg/kg/day.

Oral exposure of female rats to 50 mg/kg/day of loteprednol etabonate from the start of the fetal period through the end of lactation, a maternally toxic treatment regimen (significantly decreased body weight gain), gave rise to decreased growth and survival, and retarded development in the offspring during lactation; the NOEL for these effects was 5 mg/kg/day. Loteprednol etabonate had no effect on the duration of gestation or parturition when administered orally to pregnant rats at doses up to 50 mg/kg/day during the fetal period.
The healthy diet intervention is a modification of MoVo-LISA. 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 a healthy diet and make detailed plans, how to implement a healthy diet in their everyday routine. Difficulties and barriers are discussed.
PURPOSE: Shouldice Repair for inguinal hernias results in a low recurrence rate; however, little is known about the risk factors for these relapses. In the present study, we reviewed all patient's undergoing a reoperation for recurrence after a primary Shouldice Repair.
METHODS: Patients undergoing recurrent inguinal hernia repair from 2013 to 2017 were identified. The subgroup of patients with the first recurrence after a Shouldice Repair at this institution was selected and included. Data collection from the index and the reoperation surgery were performed, as well as statistical analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 125 patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 50.8 ± 13.9 (body mass index: 24.6 ± 2.6 kg/m2), 97% were male. The most common interval for a recurrence reoperation was in the first 5 years following the initial surgery (37.6% of patients; mode: 1 year; median: 7 years; mean: 13.7 ± 13.8 years). A temporal median pattern for recurrence reoperation according to age interval was noted (patients < 41 years old: 20 years; patients aged 41-60 years old: 10 years and patients > 61 years: 2 years)).
CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing reoperations for recurrent inguinal hernias after a primary Shouldice Repair presented a pattern of temporal recurrence according to age. Older patients present with earlier recurrences than younger ones, an important consideration in the assessment of patients postoperatively.
Participants will receive Daratumumab 16 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) by intravenous infusion, once a week for 8 weeks, then once every other week for 16 weeks, thereafter once every 4 weeks, Lenalidomide 25 mg capsule orally on Day 1 through Day 21 of each 28-day cycle, Dexamethasone 40 mg orally or intravenously once a week. Following implementation of protocol amendment 8, participants still receiving treatment with daratumumab IV will have the option to switch to daratumumab SC on Day 1 of any cycle, at the discretion of the investigator. Daratumumab subcutaneous (SC) will be administered by SC injection at a fixed dose of 1800 mg once every 4 weeks until documented progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study completion. Study treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or end of study (maximum up to 7 years after last subject is randomized) whichever comes first.
Patients participate in a supervised, community-based exercise program consisting of aerobic and resistance exercise over 45-60 minutes BIW for 12 weeks. Beginning at week 2, patients also receive nutrition education and training QW for 10 weeks. Patients also wear an activity tracker throughout the study.
Information on the incidence of adverse events in clinical investigations conducted in the U.S. was obtained from 33 controlled and 15 uncontrolled clinical studies in which 2499 patients received acrivastine and 2631 patients received acrivastine plus pseudoephedrine hydrochloride for treatment periods ranging from one day to one year. The majority of patients in clinical trials were exposed to acrivastine or acrivastine plus pseudoephedrine for less than 90 days. Acrivastine dosage ranged from 3 to 96 mg/day; 1336 patients received dosages equal to or greater than acrivastine 24 mg/day. Acrivastine plus pseudoephedrine hydrochloride dosages ranged from acrivastine 8 to 48 mg/day plus pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 60 to 240 mg/day. A total of 2335 patients received three or four daily doses of acrivastine 8 mg plus pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 60 mg.

In controlled clinical trials, only 12 spontaneously elicited adverse events were reported with frequencies greater than 1% in the acrivastine plus pseudoephedrine hydrochloride treatment group (see table).

The nature and overall frequencies of adverse events from international clinical trials (35 studies involving approximately 1600 patients) were similar to the results obtained in the U.S. studies.

Post-marketing clinical experience reports with acrivastine and acrivastine plus pseudoephedrine have included rare serious hypersensitivity reactions manifested by anaphylaxis, angioedema, bronchospasm, and erythema multiforme. No deaths associated with use of acrivastine or acrivastine plus pseudoephedrine have been reported.

Pseudoephedrine may cause ephedrine-like reactions such as tachycardia, palpitations, headache, dizziness, or nausea (see WARNINGS and OVERDOSAGE).
Patients refrain from participating in any new stress management activities and receive a DVD. Patients are also offered 4 group yoga classes after 3 months of CRT. Patients also complete surveys as in Group I.
D-dimer and anti-Xa are mornitored. If D-dimer levels continue to rise (\>1.5 times previous result ), increase the dose of heparin to reach the upper limit of the treatment target; If the D-dimer levels is stable (\<1.5 times previous result ) or is decreasing, the anticoagulation dose is maintained at current level (no active bleeding) or decreased (active bleeding).
All patients seen for acute care of painful episodes in our Adult Sickle Cell Day Hospital will be screened for eligibility. Currently, there are \>450 patients actively followed by staff in our adult Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, with an average of 60-70 patient day hospital visits per month.

Intervention and control group. Patients enrolled will be alternately assigned to each group to ensure randomization and equal numbers of patients to each arm. All patients will be given a return appointment within 12 days of Day Hospital visit. The control group will get standard of care, including a printed plan for medications to be taken, phone number to call for questions or issues, and the return date for visit.

SMART Overview. SMART, a mobile phone-based self-monitoring service to enhance outpatient treatment in chronic illness will be tested for its utility to help reduce acute care utilization rates for patients given SMART following acute care visits at the Sickle Cell Day Hospital. SMART will enable symptom monitoring with a particular emphasis on pain measures, co-symptoms, and related interventions aided by provider daily monitoring and support guided by patient report via SMART to provide a Sickle Cell Disease Information interchange (SCDi) service. Instead of using their current routine of triaging phone messages daily, assessing patients' need for intervention, providers will instead monitor patients' entries via SMART daily. Our current clinicians, a nurse practitioner or medical doctor, will review data generated from patients' reports, as well as patient phone calls. Data entered daily by patients will be viewable by our clinicians. Rather than only listening to voice mails, a clinician from our provider team will view an electronic record and communicate with patients electronically by push notification, text messaging, secure email, or via the app. Our clinicians may also call patients by telephone, as they would do as necessary when responding to voice mails. .

Abundant efforts have been directed to understand the global obesity epidemic and related obesogenic behaviors. However, the relationships of maternal concern and perception about child weight with child eating behaviors in Saudi Arabia have not been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the associations of maternal concern and perception about child overweight risk with maternal feeding practices and child eating behaviors among mothers and their children in Saudi Arabia. Mothers of 115 children aged 3-5 years old were recruited from eight preschools. Child eating behaviors (enjoyment of food, responsiveness to foods, food fussiness, satiety responsiveness, and slowness in eating) and maternal feeding practices (restriction, monitoring, and using food as a reward), maternal concern about child weight, and maternal perception about child overweight risk were assessed using validated questionnaires. Multiple linear regression models, adjusted for maternal body mass index (BMI) and child's BMI-z score and sex, were tested to examine the independent associations of maternal concern and perception about child overweight risk with child eating behaviors and maternal feeding practices. Maternal concern about child weight was positively associated with food enjoyment in children (B = 0.14 [95% confidence intervals = 0.02,0.27]) and responsiveness to food (B = 0.16 [0.03,0.29]), whereas a negative association with child food fussiness was observed (B = -0.19 [-0.33, -0.04]). Maternal perception about child overweight risk and child slowness in eating were negatively associated (B = -0.72 [-0.16 to -0.28]). Maternal concern and perception about child overweight risk were not associated with maternal feeding practices. In conclusion, maternal concern and perception about child overweight risk were found to be associated with food approach eating behavior traits but not with maternal feeding practices. Mothers who are concerned about child weight or perceive their children as overweight may need guidance and support to promote healthy eating behaviors among their children. Future cross-cultural studies are needed to understand the underlying mechanisms for the influence of maternal concern and perception about child overweight risk on maternal feeding practices, child eating behaviors, and weight status of children.
The human skin virome, unlike commensal bacteria, is an under investigated component of the human skin microbiome. We developed a sensitive, quantitative assay to detect cutaneous human resident papillomaviruses (HPV) and polyomaviruses (HPyV) and we first used it to describe these viral populations at the skin surface of two patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (PSO). We performed skin swabs on lesional and non-lesional skin in one AD and one PSO patient at M0, M1 and M3. After extraction, DNA was amplified using an original multiplex PCR technique before high throughput sequencing (HTS) of the amplicons (named AmpliSeq-HTS). Quantitative results were ultimately compared with monoplex quantitative PCRs (qPCRs) for previously detected viruses and were significantly correlated (R2 = 0.95, ρ = 0.75). Fifteen and 13 HPV types (mainly gamma and beta-HPVs) or HPyV species (mainly Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV)) were detected on the skin of the AD and PSO patients, respectively. In both patients, the composition of the viral flora was variable across body sites but remained stable over time in non-lesional skin samples, mostly colonized with gamma-papillomaviruses. In lesional skin samples, beta-papillomaviruses and MCPyV were the major components of a viral flora more prone to vary over time especially with treatment and subsequent clinical improvement. We believe this method might be further used in extensive studies to further enhance the concept of an individual cutaneous viral fingerprint and the putative role of its alterations through various skin diseases and their treatments.
Osteosarcoma is a common malignant bone tumour characterised by an aggressive metastatic potential. The tumour microenvironment, particularly the M2-polarised macrophages, is crucial for tumour progression. Cucurbitacin B (CuB), a triterpenoid derivative, is recognised for its anti-inflammatory and antitumour properties. This study investigates CuB and its effect on M2 macrophage differentiation and osteosarcoma progression, aiming to contribute to new treatment strategies. In vitro, THP-1 monocytes were stimulated with PMA, IL-13 and IL-4 to induce differentiation into M2 macrophages. Additionally, the influence of CuB on the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells in the context of M2 macrophages was scrutinised. Crucial signalling pathways, especially the PI3K/AKT pathway, affected by CuB were identified and validated. In vivo, the osteosarcoma model was employed to gauge the effects of CuB on tumour weight, lung metastasis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and M2 macrophage markers. The results showed that CuB inhibited M2 macrophage differentiation, leading to reduced proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. CuB manifested an inhibitory effect on the PI3K/AKT pathway during the differentiation of M2 macrophages. In mouse models, CuB markedly reduced the tumour weight and the number of lung metastases. It also reduced the expression of angiogenesis and cell proliferation markers in tumour tissues, decreased the quantity of M2 macrophages and their associated markers and pathway proteins. In conclusion, CuB impedes osteosarcoma progression by inhibiting M2 macrophage differentiation via the PI3K/AKT pathway, presenting the potential for therapeutic advancements in osteosarcoma treatment.
