STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective literature review analysis OBJECTIVE: Analyze the risk factors, characteristics, outcome, and follow up of surgical management of disc herniation in children ≤15 years old (y.o) through a review of the literature.
BACKGROUND: Disc herniation is a rare disease in the pediatric population. While conservative treatment if very often tried, some cases require surgical treatment.
METHODS: A literature search was conducted using PubMed data base using the terms 'pediatric/children/adolescent disc herniation' and 'surgical management' as key words. Significant manuscripts i.e: case reports, case series, reviews were identified and analyzed. The exclusion criteria were: series and cases with patients >15 y.o, results non-individualizable and medical management.
RESULTS: 49 studies were identified, 28 were retained. 69 children <15 y.o were identified with a median age of 13 y.o (SD 1-15). The mean FU was 3.3 years. Trauma and repeated micro traumatism were identified as the main causes of disc herniation in this population. It is mostly a lumbar disease, with very anecdotic cases of thoracic or cervical herniation described. In the absence of neurological deficit, conservative treatment should be tried. Different types of surgery exist (open, endoscopic, tubular), with no difference in outcome or complications. The post-operative outcome was very satisfactory, with no neurological sequalae described with excellent recovery.
CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric disc herniation is often caused by precipitating factors such as trauma. In the absence of resolution with conservative treatment, surgical options yield favorable short term clinical outcomes with minimal complications and no neurological sequalae.
Outpatient subjects will be encouraged to consume vitamin C in foods. As inpatients, vitamin C deficiency will be induced by placing subjects on a tightly restricted scorbutic diet. Plasma vitamin C will be monitored several times per week. When subjects have achieved a plasma ascorbate concentration of 5-10 micromolar, blood sampling and urine collection over 24 hours will be performed. After platelets and leukocytes are collected, ascorbate repletion will begin. Escalating doses of ascorbate will be administered orally and intravenously for the remainder of their inpatient admission. Total daily doses of 30mg, 60mg, 100mg, 200mg, 400mg, 1000mg and 2500mg will be given in two divided doses. Bioavailability of ascorbate will be determined at each dosage increment. When plasma ascorbate concentration reaches steady state for each dose, subjects will undergo 36 hr plasma sampling and a timed 48 hr urine collection.
Adhesive capsulitis (also known as frozen shoulder) is a painful and disabling disorder of unclear cause in the shoulder capsule. There are many ways to treat frozen shoulders. Laser acupuncture and joint mobilization are both ways to treat frozen shoulders. According to the literature, laser acupuncture has the effect of pain control for frozen shoulder and joint mobilization can increase the patient's shoulder range of motion. As a creative inspiration, the R\&D team uses application and principle of these treatment to design the device. After cooperation and effort, the R\&D team developed two devices that are 「portable laser Acupuncture device for frozen shoulder」and「the joint mobilization simulation device」. During the development of two devices, collecting various usage data and user's feelings, feedback and clinical effects are very important. So, R\&D team will use this research project to help device development. This project will recruit volunteers as objects for device development and advancement.

The volunteers with frozen shoulder will be recruited to this experiment and use devices under a designed experimental procedure. After subjects use device , R\&D team will collect subject feedback, efficacy assessments, and various device data. This step will not only help investigators to improve and refine the device but also find the best operating mode and using standard of the device to help the frozen shoulder patients.

Subjects in this study will also enter a designed course of treatment. All patients will be distributed equally and randomly to three groups (control , mobilization device, laser acupuncture plus mobilization device) to receive treatment. All groups receive three therapy sessions per week for 8 consecutive weeks. At last, investigators will compare the differences between the three groups to understand the effect of portable laser acupuncture and joint mobilization device on frozen shoulder.
\[Note: As of 2/28/2001, due to toxicity studies and concern for safety, patients need to sign new informed consents. Patients who are taking capravirine and who currently have viral loads below 400 copies/ml may continue to take capravirine at 1400 mg twice daily. Capravirine will be discontinued in patients with viral loads greater than 400 copies/ml at their last visit and they will be switched to new therapies or continue with their background therapies as deemed appropriate by the investigators.\] This study will take place in approximately 150 centers in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, Argentina, and South Africa. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups and stratified by geographic sites (North American and non-North American), plasma HIV-1 RNA levels, and prior NNRTI use. Group 1 patients receive capravirine plus VIRACEPT plus 2 new NRTIs and Group 2 patients receive capravirine placebo plus VIRACEPT plus 2 new NRTIs. NRTIs will not be provided by the sponsor. Patients may remain on their assigned treatment for 48 weeks, with posttherapy follow-up occurring at 1 and 3 months. Assessments, done at various times throughout the study, include medical history, HIV antibody test, complete or symptom-directed physical examination, vital signs, height, weight, serum pregnancy test, hematology, chemistry, and recording of concomitant medications and adverse events. Other select assessments are performed at specified visits. Plasma samples for resistance testing and blood specimens for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are obtained at several times. The plasma samples and PBMCs may be used for viral drug resistance testing. Blood samples for quantitation of capravirine, VIRACEPT, and M8 (a metabolite of VIRACEPT) plasma concentrations are collected several times. Additional blood samples for analysis of drug concentrations may be requested depending on concomitant NRTIs or other medications. A Data Safety Monitoring Board monitors patient safety at prescribed intervals during the study.
Patients in group B will be treated with a CE certified double lumen catheter with a new antibacterial bismuth-containing surface coating (GamCath Dolphin® Protect, No. CE 90671).
While breast cancer 2 (BRCA2) loss of heterozygosity (LOH) promotes cancer initiation, it can also induce death in nontransformed cells. In contrast, mismatch repair gene mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) is a tumor-suppressor gene that protects cells from cancer development through repairing mismatched base pairs during DNA mismatch repair (MMR). Sengodan et al., in this issue of the JCI, reveal an interplay between the 2 genes: MLH1 promoted the survival of BRCA2-deficient cells independently of its MMR function. MLH1 protected replication forks from degradation, while also resolving R-loops, thereby reducing genomic instability. Moreover, MLH1 expression was regulated directly by estrogen, shedding light into the hormone-responsive nature of many BRCA2 mutant breast cancers. These results provide important insight into the genetics that drive the initiation of BRCA2-mutated breast cancers.
The placebo group will act as the control group. They will be expected to complete the same regime as previously described above, however these machines will be on TENS setting (80-100Hz) as even low Hz can trigger motor stimulation (Paillard 2008). This setting is designed as a sensory stimulus therefore will have no effects on muscle strength however the patient will feel a small twitch sensation. This setting is not painful and will have no effect on muscle fatigue. The patient will not be expected to complete the bed exercises and the TENS session together.
As part of the regular follow-up of aSAH patients at Oslo University Hospital patients with as aSAH in 2011-2012 will be invited to a clinical interview, medical examination and neuropsychological test. Patients will also be asked to answer Quality of Life Questionnaires.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess 10-year follow-up outcomes after surgical resection in patients with stage IA invasive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on postoperative pathological diagnosis.
METHODS: Patients with stage IA invasive NSCLC who underwent resection between December 2008 and December 2013 were reviewed. Patients were categorized into the pure-ground glass opacity (pGGO), mixed-ground glass opacity (mGGO), and solid groups based on consolidation to tumor ratio (CTR). Postoperative survival and risk of recurrence and developing secondary primary lung cancer were analyzed in each group.
RESULTS: Among the 645 stage IA invasive NSCLC, the 10-year overall survival and recurrence-free survival rate was 79.38% and 77.44%, respectively. The 10-year overall survival for pGGO, mGGO, and solid group of patients was 95.08%, 86.21%, and 72.39%, respectively. The respective recurrence-free survival rate was 100%, 89.82%, and 65.83%. Multivariable Cox regression analysis associated tumor size and GGO components with recurrence and younger age, and tumors with GGO components were associated with longer overall survival. The cumulative incidence curve indicated no recurrence of GGO lung cancer ≥ 5 years postoperatively. Our cohort indicated that the number and stations of dissected lymph node did not influence long-term prognosis of IA invasive NSCLC.
CONCLUSIONS: Recurrence of invasive stage IA NSCLC with GGO was more prevalent in patients with tumor size >1 cm and CTR > 0.5, occurring within 5 years after surgery. This will provide important evidence for follow-up strategies in these patients.

Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) is an important member of the peroxiredoxin family (PRDX) and is upregulated in a variety of tumors. Previous studies have found that high PRDX1 expression is closely related to the metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but the specific molecular mechanism is elusive. To elucidate the role of PRDX1 in the metastasis process of OSCC, we evaluated the expression of PRDX1 in OSCC clinical specimens and its impact on the prognosis of OSCC patients. Then, the effect of PRDX1 on OSCC metastasis and cytoskeletal reconstruction was explored in vitro and in nude mouse tongue cancer models, and the molecular mechanisms were also investigated. PRDX1 can directly interact with the actin-binding protein Cofilin, inhibiting the phosphorylation of its Ser3 site, accelerating the depolymerization and turnover of actin, promoting OSCC cell movement, and aggravating the invasion and metastasis of OSCC. In clinical samples and mouse tongue cancer models, PRDX1 also increased lymph node metastasis of OSCC and was negatively correlated with the phosphorylation of Cofilin; PRDX1 also reduced the overall survival rate of OSCC patients. In summary, our study identified that PRDX1 may be a potential therapeutic target to inhibit OSCC metastasis.
OBJECTIVE: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common spinal surgical disease. Low back and leg pain caused by LDH is the main factor leading to functional disability, which has caused a serious burden to patients and society. Osteoking can delay the progression of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, and even has a significant effect on the prevention of deep vein thrombosis after fracture surgery. In recent years, it has been gradually used in the treatment of LDH and has received significant results. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study was to predict the mechanism of Osteoking in the treatment of LDH through network pharmacology and verify it by molecular docking method.
METHODS: The TCMSP database was used to collect the relevant active components and targets of Osteoking, while the GeneCards, OMIM and DisGeNET databases were utilized to collect the relevant disease targets of LDH. The Venny 2.1.0 software was employed to obtain the intersecting gene targets of Osteoking and LDH. PPI network construction and core target selection were performed using Cytoscape 3.9.0 software. The Metascape database was used for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of the relevant targets. Finally, molecular docking was conducted using AutoDock software.
RESULTS: The study identified 116 potential targets and 26 core targets for the treatment of LDH with Osteoking. Pathways in cancer, Alzheimer's disease, microRNAs in cancer and the IL-17 signalling pathway were among the main involved signalling pathways. Molecular docking results demonstrated that the key targets AKT1, IL-6, ALB, TNF and IL-1β exhibited relatively stable binding activities with the main active components of Osteoking.
CONCLUSIONS: Osteoking can alleviate the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation through the modulation of multiple targets and signalling pathways.

Patients undergoing anesthesia induction must have at least one vascular access opened for administration of intravenous drugs and fluid. In pediatric patients, fear of needles and anxiety about pain can cause discomfort. For this reason, inhalational anesthetics are commonly used for anesthesia induction in children. An ideal inhalational anesthetic agent should have a smooth and fast onset, little irritation to the respiratory tract, and no undesirable side effects. Sevoflurane meets almost all these criteria, so it is commonly used for anesthesia induction in pediatric patients.

Studies related to the induction of anesthesia with sevoflurane have mostly focused on the ease of LMA insertion, the recovery characteristics, the hemodynamic variabilities, comparison of high and low initial sevoflurane concentrations, and cost comparisons between fixed 8% versus incremental techniques. However, after loss of consciousness, children subjected to early intravenous cannulation during sevoflurane induction can display movement, breath holding, coughing, and even laryngospasm. Only limited data are available in the literature regarding intravenous access time at anesthesia induction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bispectral index (BIS) values and sevoflurane concentrations during induction of anesthesia and to determine the optimum intravenous access time in pediatric patients.
Participants randomized to the Protocolized Diuretic Strategy group will receive escalating diuretics according to an algorithm targeting a goal diuresis of urine output (UO) 3-5 L/day with diuretics intensified in a stepped fashion using both loop diuretics given by intravenous (IV) bolus followed by IV continuous infusion (furosemide or alternative loop diuretic at equivalent dose), with or without concomitant thiazide diuretic (oral (PO) metolazone or IV chlorothiazide). If UO is \< 3 L/day, diuretic regimen will be increased. If UO is 3-5 L/day, diuretic regimen will be continued at current doses. If UO is \> 5 L/day, diuretic regimen will be reduced.
The objective of this study was to identify metabolic regulatory mechanisms affected by choline availability in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) broodstock diets associated with increased offspring growth performance. Three customized diets were formulated to have different levels of choline: (a) 0 % choline supplementation (Low Choline: 2065 ppm choline), (b) 0.6 % choline supplementation (Medium Choline: 5657 ppm choline), and (c) 1.2 % choline supplementation (High Choline: 9248 ppm choline). Six all-female rainbow trout families were fed experimental diets beginning 18 months post-hatch until spawning at 22 months post-hatch; their offspring were fed a commercial diet. Experimental broodstock diet did not affect overall choline, fatty acid, or amino acid content in the oocytes (p > 0.05), apart from tyrosine (p ≤ 0.05). Offspring body weights from the High and Low Choline diets did not differ from those in the Medium Choline diet (p > 0.05); however, family-by-diet and sire-by-diet interactions on offspring growth were detected (p ≤ 0.05). The High Choline diet did not improve growth performance in the six broodstock families at final harvest (520-days post-hatch, or dph). Numerous genes associated with muscle development and lipid metabolism were identified as affected by broodstock diet, including myosin, troponin C, and fatty acid binding proteins, which were associated with key signaling pathways of lipid metabolism, muscle cell development, muscle cell proliferation, and muscle cell differentiation. These findings indicate that supplementing broodstock diets with choline does regulate expression of genes related to growth and nutrient partitioning but does not lead to growth benefits in rainbow trout families selected for disease resistance.
