The current standard is to review an asthma action plan with families and to review inhaler medication administration. In this study, investigators will be assigning families to either a control (current standard education) or and intervention group. In the intervention group, participants will receive interactive education based on learning theories that are thought to enhance long term memory. Participants in the interactive group will build their own action plan using colored templates and pictures. Participants will also learn to use their inhaler using teach-back methodologies. Investigators will then compare the two groups in terms of ER visits, hospitalizations, family confidence in managing asthma, asthma knowledge, and quality of life.
Patients who develop increased numbers of .gamma..delta.+ cytotoxic T  lymphocytes 2-6 months after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation are less likely to relapse than those who do not. The .gamma..delta.+ T cells isolated from blood of patients with increased .gamma..delta.+ T cells are CD3+CD4-CD8-CD57+, cytolytic to K562 cells, and express the V.delta.1 T cell receptor phenotype. Similar .gamma..delta.+ T cells can be generated in vitro by culture of donor mononuclear cells which are enriched for .gamma..delta.+ T  cells by immunomagnetic depletion of depleted of CD4+ and CD8+ cells. This .gamma..delta.-enriched cell preparation was cultured on a combination of immobilized pan-.delta. monoclonal antibody and irradiated recipient B cell leukemia. After four weeks, the cultures were almost exclusively V.delta.1+CD3+CD4-CD8- cells that co-expressed activation-associated antigens CD69, CD25, and HLA-DR. Furthermore, they were cytolytic against the primary leukemia obtained from the recipient and lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines, yet had minimal cytotoxicity against normal donor-derived mononuclear cells or myeloid leukemia cell lines. These observations suggest that donor-derived cytotoxic .gamma..delta.+ T cells can be generated in vitro, and may provide therapeutic potential for prevention of disease relapse.
Adolescent smokers (aged 14-18; \> 10 cigarettes/day) attending continuation high schools in the San Francisco-San Jose Bay Area will serve as the target population for this study. 280 smokers meeting eligibility criteria will be randomized. Our primary goal is to examine the effectiveness of a multi-factor extended treatment strategy in promoting longer-term smoking abstinence. All 280 smokers will receive 10 weeks of open label treatment consisting of nicotine patch therapy and group-based, intensive self-regulatory skills training (ST). Following open label treatment, half (n=140) will receive nine additional group-based ST sessions delivered over a 14 week period. Telephone counseling will also be provided in conjunction with an Interactive Voice Response system (IVR) that will allow early detection of smoking "slips" and rapid response by treatment staff. The other half (n=140) will not receive any additional therapy beyond that provided in the open label treatment phase. Abstinence and relapse will be assessed at the end of open label (10 weeks) and extended treatment (24 weeks) and at 52 weeks from the time of study entry. Our primary hypothesis is that smokers randomized to extended treatment will have a higher prolonged abstinence rate (PA) at 52 week follow-up than participants receiving only open label treatment. PA at 52 weeks will be the outcome measure used to evaluate the primary hypothesis and will be defined as a report of non-smoking following an initial 2-week grace period during which any smoking is not counted as a failure and an expired-air carbon monoxide level of \<9PPM. Here, failure is defined as either seven consecutive days of smoking or smoking on at least one day on each of two consecutive weeks. Point prevalence abstinence will be examined as a secondary outcome and defined as no smoking, not even a puff, for seven consecutive days prior to assessment and an expired-air carbon monoxide level of \<9PPM. With 150 participants per cell, we will have, in general, 80% power at a 2-tailed alpha of .05 to detect a difference in abstinence rates of at least 15% over a large range of success probabilities.
OBJECTIVE: Mice are routinely utilized as animal models of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), however, there are significant differences in the pathogenesis between mice and humans. This study aimed to compare gene expression between humans and mice in acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury (AILI), and investigate the similarities and differences in biological processes between the two species.
METHODS: A pair of public datasets (GSE218879 and GSE120652) obtained from GEO were analyzed using "Limma" package in R language, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including co-expressed DEGs (co-DEGs) and specific-expressed DEGS (specific-DEGs). Analysis of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were performed analyses for specific-DEGs and co-DEGs. The co-DEGs were also used to construct transcription factor (TF)-gene network, gene-miRNA interactions network and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network for analyzing hub genes.
RESULTS: Mouse samples contained 1052 up-regulated genes and 1064 down-regulated genes, while human samples contained 1156 up-regulated genes and 1557 down-regulated genes. After taking the intersection between the DEGs, only 154 co-down-regulated and 89 co-up-regulated DEGs were identified, with a proportion of less than 10%. It was suggested that significant differences in gene expression between mice and humans in drug-induced liver injury. Mouse-specific-DEGs predominantly engaged in processes related to apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress, while human-specific-DEGs were concentrated around catabolic process. Analysis of co-regulated genes reveals showed that they were mainly enriched in biosynthetic and metabolism-related processes. Then a PPI network which contains 189 nodes and 380 edges was constructed from the co-DEGs and two modules were obtained by Mcode. We screened out 10 hub genes by three algorithms of Degree, MCC and MNC, including CYP7A1, LSS, SREBF1, FASN, CD44, SPP1, ITGAV, ANXA5, LGALS3 and PDGFRA. Besides, TFs such as FOXC1, HINFP, NFKB1, miRNAs like mir-744-5p, mir-335-5p, mir-149-3p, mir-218-5p, mir-10a-5p may be the key regulatory factors of hub genes.
CONCLUSIONS: The DEGs of AILI mice models and those of patients were compared, and common biological processes were identified. The signaling pathways and hub genes in co-expression were identified between mice and humans through a series of bioinformatics analyses, which may be more valuable to reveal molecular mechanisms of AILI.
INTRODUCTION: Sepsis, a leading cause of mortality globally, has a complex and multifaceted pathophysiology which still requires elucidation. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze and quantify the number of exosomes in sepsis patients from a South African cohort using the ExoView (NanoView Biosciences, Boston, MA) platform.
METHODS: Blood samples were collected from black South African patients attending the local Intensive Care Unit (ICU) hospital. Exosomes were isolated and characterize via TEM and CD63 ELISA kits. ExoView was used to determine particle count, particle size distribution and colocalization of different tetraspanin markers.
RESULTS: Exosomal levels in sepsis patients were significantly higher compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Sepsis exosomes showed a homogenous size distribution ranging from 55 to 70 nm. Tetraspanin colocalization analysis revealed that sepsis exosomes have significantly higher CD63/CD9, CD63/CD81 and CD63/CD9/CD81 colocalization percentages than the control group.
CONCLUSION: This unique tetraspanin colocalization pattern of sepsis exosomes could serve as a potential sepsis biomarker. Further investigations are required to identify sepsis exosomal cargo signatures for further understanding of sepsis pathophysiology in order to develop effective diagnostics and treatments.

A system and method for providing a dry consumable with a liquid in the same assembly. The assembly includes a fluid container that is covered with a cap assembly. The cap assembly can be manually opened and closed, thereby selectively controlling the flow of fluid out of the fluid container. Consumable material is formed into a solid form on the exterior of the cap assembly. The material can include pharmaceutical compounds, nutraceutical compounds or can be inert compounds, such as confections. The material is formed into a solid that can be bitten or licked away from the cap assembly as the cap assembly is placed in the mouth. Once the material is received into the mouth, liquid can be drunk through the cap assembly to help wash the material down the throat.
To promote growth and development, plasma levels of ammonia, arginine, branched-chain amino acids, and serum protein should be maintained within normal limits while plasma glutamine is maintained at levels less than 1,000 µmol/L. Minimum daily protein intake for a patient of a particular age should be taken from, for example, "Recommended Dietary Allowances", 10th ed., Food and Nutrition Board, National Academy of Sciences, 1989. The allocation of dietary nitrogen into natural protein and essential amino acids is a function of age, residual urea-cycle enzyme activity, and the dose of sodium phenylbutyrate.

At the recommended dose of sodium phenylbutyrate, it is suggested that infants with neonatal-onset CPS and OTC deficiencies initially receive a daily dietary protein intake limited to approximately 1.6 g/kg/day for the first 4 months of life. If tolerated, the daily protein intake may be increased to 1.9 g/kg/day during this period. Protein tolerance will decrease as the growth rate decreases, requiring a reduction in dietary nitrogen intake. From 4 months to 1 year of age, it is recommended that the infant receive at least 1.4 g/kg/day, but 1.7 g/kg/day is advisable. From 1 to 3 years of age, the protein intake should not be less than 1.2 g/kg/day; 1.4 g/kg/day is advisable during this period. For neonatal-onset patients with carbamylphosphate synthetase deficiency or ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency who are at least 6 months of age, it is recommended that the daily protein intake be equally divided between natural protein and supplemental essential amino acids.

Patients with argininosuccinic acid synthetase deficiency and those with late-onset disease (partial deficiencies, including females heterozygous for ornithine transcarbamylase), initially may receive a diet containing the age-determined minimal daily natural protein allowance. The protein intake may be increased as tolerated and determined by plasma glutamine and other amino acid levels. However, many patients with partial deficiencies avoid dietary protein.

Citrulline supplementation is required and recommended for patients diagnosed with neonatal-onset deficiency of carbamylphosphate synthetase or ornithine transcarbamylase; citrulline daily intake is recommended at 0.17 g/kg/day or 3.8 g/m2/day.

The free-base form of arginine may be used instead of citrulline in patients with milder forms of carbamylphosphate synthetase and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (daily intake is recommended at 0.17 g/kg/day or 3.8 g/m2/day).

Arginine supplementation is needed for patients diagnosed with deficiency of argininosuccinic acid synthetase; arginine (free base) daily intake is recommended at 0.4 to 0.7 g/kg/day or 8.8 to 15.4 g/m2/day.

If caloric supplementation is indicated, a protein-free product is recommended. Caloric intake should be based upon the "Recommended Dietary Allowances", 10th ed., Food and Nutrition Board, National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences, 1989.
BACKGROUND: The frequency of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy is gradually exceeding that of the open approach. Our study aims to compare short-term outcomes of robotic (RDP) and laparoscopic (LDP) distal pancreatectomies for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using a national database.
METHODS: The National Cancer Database was utilized to identify patients with PDAC who underwent distal pancreatectomy from 2010-2020. Short-term technical and oncologic outcomes such as margin status and nodal harvest were included. Propensity-score matching (PSM) was performed comparing LDP and RDP cohorts. Multivariate logistic-regression models were then used to assess the impact of institutional volume on the MIDP surgical and technical oncologic outcomes.
RESULTS: 1537 patients underwent MIDP with curative intent. Most cases were laparoscopic (74.4%, n = 1144), with a gradual increase in robotic utilization, from 8.7% in 2010 to 32.0% of MIDP cases ten years later. For PSM, 698 LDP patients were matched with 349 RDP. The odds of conversion to an open case were 58% less in RDP (12.6%) compared to LDP (25.5%) with no statistically significant difference in technical oncologic results. There was no difference in length of stay (OR = 1.0[0.7-1.4]), 30-day mortality (OR = 0.5[0.2-2.0]) or 90-day mortality (OR = 1.1[0.5-2.4]) between RDP and LDP, although there was a higher 30-day readmission rate with RDP (OR = 1.71[1.1-2.7]). There were statistically significant differences in technical oncologic outcomes (nodal harvest, margin status, initiation of adjuvant therapy) based on MIDP volume quartiles.
CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic and robotic distal pancreatectomy have similar peri- and post-operative surgical and oncologic outcomes, with a higher rate of conversion to open in the laparoscopic cohort.
NSTE-ACS patients with multiple lesions who met the requirements of the study were enrolled and received coronary angiography. First, the revascularization of the criminal vessel (PCI) was completed. The patients were randomly grouped and divided into AccuFFRangio Group and Angiography Group if the treatment results were good. The AccuFFRangio Group was defined as non-IRA of these patients who were treated with PCI after angio-FFR measurement with FFR≤0.8.

Modern life is filled with radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) in various frequency bands, while the health risks are not clear. In this study, mice were whole-body exposed to 0.9/1.5/2.65 GHz radiofrequency radiation at 4 W/kg for 2 h per day for 4 weeks to investigate the emotional effects. It was found that the mice showed anxiety but no severe depression. The ELISA results showed a significant decrease in amino acid neurotransmitters (GABA, DA, 5-HT), although acetylcholine (ACH) levels were not significantly altered. Furthermore, Western blot results showed that BDNF, TrkB, and CREB levels were increased in the cerebral cortex, while NF-κB levels were decreased. In addition, pro-inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α) were significantly elevated, and anti-inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-10) tended to decrease. In conclusion, multi-frequency electromagnetic radiation induces an inflammatory response through the CREB-BDNF-TrkB and NF-κB pathways in the cerebral cortex and causes a decrease in excitatory neurotransmitters, which ultimately causes anxiety in mice.
The early years of life (birth to age 5 years) are crucial in a child's development. Parents play a critical role in their children's development and are responsible for the environment in which they grow up. Past research shows that the personal characteristics of successful children consistently correlate to parental influences and behavior. Thus, the theoretical foundation in the Legacy study is that parents can positively influence their child's development. Also, parents are more likely to maintain positive parenting behaviors if they are part of a community greater than themselves. Legacy intervention activities are designed to enhance sensitive and responsive parenting, parent/child interaction, and promote a sense of community. Other activities include verbal and cognitive stimulation through parent and parent/child group meetings, visits to the home, and participation in community events. Legacy has both a pilot phase and a main study phase. There are 180 intervention and 120 comparison families in the main study phase and 60 of each in the pilot phase at each study site, Miami and Los Angeles. The 720 participating families are those whose children, on average, would be expected to fall below national norms on a range of developmental outcomes. Process, cost, and short- and long-term outcome data are being collected.

Comparison group: In addition to the current standard of care, the comparison families receive regular comprehensive child development and maternal assessments at 6 months, 1 yr, 2 yr, 3 yr, 4 yr, and 5 yr.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of cancer cachexia (CC). Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) are elevated in muscle shortly after tumor onset. Targeting mitochondrial ROS may be a viable option to prevent CC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, SkQ1, to mitigate CC in both biological sexes. Male and female Balb/c mice were injected bilaterally with colon 26 adenocarcinoma (C26) cells (total 1 × 106 cells) or PBS (equal volume control). SkQ1 was dissolved in drinking water (∼250 nmol/kg body wt/day) and administered to mice beginning 7 days following tumor induction, whereas control groups consumed normal drinking water. In vivo muscle contractility of dorsiflexors, deuterium oxide-based protein synthesis, mitochondrial respiration and mRNA content of mitochondrial, protein turnover, and calcium channel-related markers were assessed at endpoint (25 days following tumor induction). Two-way ANOVAs, followed by Tukey's post hoc test when interactions were significant (P ≤ 0.05), were performed. SkQ1 attenuated cancer-induced atrophy, promoted protein synthesis, and abated Redd1 and Atrogin induction in gastrocnemius of C26 male mice. In female mice, SkQ1 decreased muscle mass and increased catabolic signaling in the plantaris of tumor-bearing mice, as well as reduced mitochondrial oxygen consumption, regardless of tumor. However, in females, SkQ1 enhanced muscle contractility of the dorsiflexors with concurrent induction of Ryr1, Serca1, and Serca2a in TA. In conclusion, the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 may attenuate CC-induced muscle loss in males, while improving muscle contractile function in tumor-bearing female mice, suggesting sexual dimorphism in the effects of this mitochondrial therapy in CC.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Herein, we assess the efficacy of the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 to mitigate cancer cachexia (CC) in both biological sexes. We demonstrate that SkQ1 administration attenuates muscle wasting induced by C26 tumors in male, but not female, mice. Conversely, we identify that in females, SkQ1 improves muscle contractility. These phenotypic adaptations to SkQ1 are aligned with respective responses in muscle protein synthesis, mitochondrial respiration, and mRNA content of protein turnover, as well as mitochondrial and calcium handling-related markers.
