BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Several associations between diabetes mellitus and delirium have been reported; however, they have been inconsistent, and evidence on the effects of antidiabetic medications on delirium is also limited. This study aimed to investigate whether the use of antidiabetic drugs is a risk factor for delirium development.
METHODS: Using the Japanese Adverse Event Reporting Database, we analyzed 662,899 reports between 2004 and 2022. Reporting odds ratios (RORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for delirium associated with diabetes and using each antidiabetic medication were calculated after adjusting for potential confounders.
RESULTS: Overall, 8892 of the reports analyzed were associated with delirium. A comparison of the incidence of delirium between patients with and without diabetes showed no significant difference, with 1.34% in patients without diabetes and 1.37% in those with diabetes. In each antidiabetic medication, signals for delirium were detected for sulfonylurea (crude ROR, 1.35; 95% CI 1.21-1.51) and insulin (crude ROR, 1.28; 95% CI 1.13-1.44). These results were maintained even after adjusting for factors with potential confounders (sulfonylurea: adjusted ROR, 1.75; 95% CI 1.54-2.00, insulin: adjusted ROR, 1.35; 95% CI 1.20-1.54).
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest no association between diabetes and delirium; however, using sulfonylurea and insulin may be associated with delirium development. Nonetheless, these findings should be validated in future studies.
This is a double-blind, safety and infectivity study of experimental human Norovirus genogroup GII.4 administered to 48 healthy non-pregnant adults, 18-49 years of age, negative for COVID-19 by antigen testing at the time of norovirus challenge. Subjects will be admitted to the Vaccine Research Center inpatient facility and challenged with a dose of human norovirus GII.4 challenge strain. The challenge study will be conducted in 3 cohorts of approximately 16 subjects each, 15 subjects will have a functional FUT-2 gene (secretor positive) and 1 subject will have a non-functional FUT-2 gene (non-secretor). Subjects in Cohort 1 will receive 3.5x10\^3 copies of norovirus, in Cohort 2 will receive 3.5x10\^4 copies of norovirus and in Cohort 3 will receive 3.5x10\^5 copies of norovirus. Based on the illness rate of subjects meeting the primary outcome measure in secretor - positive subjects of the initial cohort, the decision will be made with regards to dosing of the second and the third cohorts. Subjects will remain in the inpatient facility for at least four days following the challenge and assessed daily for clinical and virologic evidence of norovirus infection. After the discharge, subjects will return to the site for evaluation on Days 6, 15, 30, 45, and 60 post challenge. A final phone call will be performed at day 180 to obtain an interim medical history. Study duration is approximately 12-18 months with subject participation duration of 6-8 months. The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimal challenge dose of Norovirus GII.4 CIN-3 Batch No.: 01-16C3 to achieve illness in \> / = 50% of subjects (illness is defined as norovirus infection determined by positive Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and either: a) \> / = 3 loose or liquid stools, in a 24-hour period, b) \> / = 300 gm of loose or liquid stool in a 24-hour period or c) and/or any episode of vomiting), during the inpatient period. The secondary objectives are: 1) To evaluate the safety of the Norovirus GII.4 CIN-3 Batch No.: 01-16C3 challenge strain; 2) To determine the rate of infection at different challenge doses by detection of norovirus GII.4 in the stool using specific qRT-PCR and Anti-norovirus GII.4 serum IgG by Enzyme-Linked Immunnosorbent Assay (ELISA) (\> / = 4-fold rise from baseline through Day 30); 3) To measure the severity of acute gastroenteritis; 4) To determine the quantity and duration of virus shedding in stool by qRT-PCR.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Post thrombolytic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with higher rate of death or disability in acute ischemic stroke patients. We investigated the relationship between post thrombolytic ICH volume and change in volume and death or disability at 90 days in acute ischemic stroke patients.
METHODS: We analyzed 110 patents recruited in the Safety Evaluation of 3K3A-APC in Ischemic Stroke (RHAPSODY) trial who received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) followed by mechanical thrombectomy (if indicated) and 3K3A-APC or placebo. ICH volume was measured at Day 2 and Day 7 using susceptibility weighted sequence (SWI) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We also calculated the post thrombolytic ICH volume change between Day 2 and Day 7. Outcomes were determined by using utility weighted modified Rankin scale (UW-mRs) at 90-days, Outcomes were determined by using utility weighted modified Rankin scale (UW-mRS) at 90 days. To minimize interpretation bias, outcome assessors were blinded to the treatment allocation and clinical data.We adjusted for age, gender, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (<10,10-19 and ≥20), location of hemorrhage (single basal ganglia hemorrhage, single lobar, single cerebellum, and multiple sites) in multivariate regression analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 88 (80%) of 110 patients had post thrombolytic ICH (mean volume 28.3 ml ± SD 62 ml). The strata of ICH volume were not associated with UW-mRs at 90 days: <20 cc (regression coefficient (RC)-0.05, p= 0.58), 20-39 cc (RC-0.22, p=0.17), or ≥40 cc (RC-0.34, p= 0.083) compared with no ICH after adjusting for potential confounders. Change in ICH mean volume 26.78 ml ±59.68, 52 had increase in volume) between Day 2 and day 7 was not associated with UW-mRS at 90 days (RC -67.71, p= 0.06).
CONCLUSIONS: We did not observe any independent effect of post thrombolytic ICH volume on death or disability in acute ischemic stroke patients. Although further studies must be done, our data suggest that strategies to prevent ICH expansion such as antifibrinolytic medications and reduction in ICH volume such as surgical evacuation may not reduce death or disability in acute ischemic stroke patients with post thrombolytic ICH.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive impairment due to excessive accumulation of extracellular amyloid-β plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. Although decades of research efforts have been put into developing disease-modifying therapies for AD, no "curative" drug has been identified. As a central player in neuro-inflammation, microglia play a key role inbrain homeostasis by phagocytosing debris and regulating the balance between neurotoxic and neuroprotective events. Typically, the neurotoxic phenotype of activated microglia is predominant in the impaired microenvironment of AD. Accordingly, transitioning the activity state of microglia from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory can restore the disrupted homeostatic microenvironment. Recently, stem cell therapy holds great promise as a treatment for AD; however, the diminished survival of transplanted stem cells has resulted in a disappointing long-term outcome for this treatment. This article reviews the functional changes of microglia through the course of AD-associated homeostatic deterioration. We summarize the possible microglia-associated therapeutic targets including TREM2, IL-3Rα, CD22, C5aR1, CX3CR1, P2X7R, CD33, Nrf2, PPAR-γ, CSF1R, and NLRP3, each of which has been discussed in detail. The goal of this review is to put forth the notion that microglia could be targeted by either small molecules or biologics to make the brain microenvironment more amenable to stem cell implantation and propose a novel treatment strategy for future stem cell interventions in AD.
PURPOSE: To obtain a medicinal composition for preventing and curing biliary stones and bile deficient maldigestion by allowing to contain taurohyodeoxycholic acid as an effective ingredient. CONSTITUTION: The objective medicinal composition is obtained by using taurohyodeoxycholic acid (THDCA), which is one of natural bile acids and has never been used, as an effective ingredient, mixing it with a usual carrier and a forming agent and formulating by a usual method. The composition can be formulated in forms of intraintestinal capsules, sustained-releasing capsules, tablets, etc. For preventing biliary stones and curing bile deficient maldigestion, 3-8mg per 1kg body weight are administered. For treating to dissolve bile stones, 5-15mg per 1kg body weight are administered. An administration unit is allowed to contain 50-400mg of THDCA. THDCA can be prepared by reacting hyodeoxycholic acid with taurine by a usually known method.
To date, caval sparing (CS) and total caval replacement (TCR) for recipient hepatectomy in liver transplantation (LT) have been compared only in terms of surgical morbidity. Nonetheless, the CS technique is inherently associated with an increased manipulation of the native liver and later exclusion of the venous outflow, which may increase the risk of intraoperative shedding of tumor cells when LT is performed for HCC. A multicenter, retrospective study was performed to assess the impact of recipient hepatectomy (CS vs. TCR) on the risk of posttransplant HCC recurrence among 16 European transplant centers that used either TCR or CS recipient hepatectomy as an elective protocol technique. Exclusion criteria comprised cases of non-center-protocol recipient hepatectomy technique, living-donor LT, HCC diagnosis suspected on preoperative imaging but not confirmed at the pathological examination of the explanted liver, HCC in close contact with the IVC, and previous liver resection for HCC. In 2420 patients, CS and TCR approaches were used in 1452 (60%) and 968 (40%) cases, respectively. Group adjustment with inverse probability weighting was performed for high-volume center, recipient age, alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, Child-Pugh class C, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, cold ischemia time, clinical HCC stage within Milan criteria, pre-LT downstaging/bridging therapies, pre-LT alphafetoprotein serum levels, number and size of tumor nodules, microvascular invasion, and complete necrosis of all tumor nodules (matched cohort, TCR, n = 938; CS, n = 935). In a multivariate cause-specific hazard model, CS was associated with a higher risk of HCC recurrence (HR: 1.536, p = 0.007). In conclusion, TCR recipient hepatectomy, compared to the CS approach, may be associated with some protective effect against post-LT tumor recurrence.

At least 1 000 individuals, 18 years old and older, are randomly sampled using random digit dialing from the population of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Random sampling is performed by a survey company on the list of mobile phone numbers with designated geography prefixes of St. Petersburg. The baseline questionnaire for computer-assisted telephone interview includes travel history, medical history, and socio-economic status of the respondents. Sampled individuals are then invited to the clinic for blood sampling, their refusal to participate is recorded. Collected blood samples are used for SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies testing. Data and sample collection spans four weeks and is conducted every two weeks. Participants complete additional questionnaires in the clinic providing information on medical history, history of allergies, chronic disease, smoking, and medication taken regularly. Contact tracing data and environmental conditions of the household are reсorded.
Cohort 2: Subjects will receive 4 it of 0.3 mg ranibizumab every 28 days (+/- 7 days), then will then be seen monthly (+/- 7 days) \& receive IVT of 0.3 mg ranibizumab on a PRN schedule per retreatment criteria based on the evaluating Investigator's assessment of disease activity. In addition, at Day 7 they will receive targeted pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) based on ultra wide field angiography. Ultra wide field angiography will be performed every 3 months to indicate areas of peripheral ischemia, which will be selectively be treated with PRP at Month 6, Month 18, and Month 25, preserving areas of more perfused retina.
Inactivity during prolonged bed rest leads to muscle dysfunction. Muscle function decreases even faster in ICU patients due to inflammation, pharmacological agents (corticosteroids, muscle relaxants, neuromuscular blockers, antibiotics), and the presence of neuromuscular syndromes, associated with critical illness. A recent recommendation document advices to start early with active and passive exercise in critically ill patients. However, no evidence is available concerning the feasibility of an early muscle training intervention in the acute ICU phase when patients are still under sedation. A rather new method to train bed-bound patients is the use of a bedside cycle ergometer. This randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate whether a daily training session using a bedside cycle ergometer, started early in stable critically ill patients with an expected prolonged ICU stay, could induce a beneficial effect on exercise performance, quadriceps force and functional autonomy at ICU and hospital discharge compared to a standard physiotherapy program.
Increasing evidence supports a major role for abiotic stress response in the success of plant polyploids, which usually thrive in harsh environments. However, understanding the ecophysiology of polyploids is challenging due to interactions between genome doubling and natural selection. Here, we investigated physiological responses, gene expression, and the epiphenotype of two related Dianthus broteri cytotypes-with different genome duplications (4× and 12×) and evolutionary trajectories-to short extreme temperature events (42/28 °C and 9/5 °C). The 12× cytotype showed higher expression of stress-responsive genes (SWEET1, PP2C16, AI5L3, and ATHB7) and enhanced gas exchange compared with 4×. Under heat stress, both ploidies had greatly impaired physiological performance and altered gene expression, with reduced cytosine methylation. However, the 12× cytotype exhibited remarkable physiological tolerance (maintaining gas exchange and water status via greater photochemical integrity and probably enhanced water storage) while down-regulating PP2C16 expression. Conversely, 4× D. broteri was susceptible to thermal stress despite prioritizing water conservation, showing signs of non-stomatal photosynthetic limitations and irreversible photochemical damage. This cytotype also presented gene-specific expression patterns under heat, up-regulating ATHB7. These findings provide insights into divergent stress response strategies and physiological resistance resulting from polyploidy, highlighting its widespread influence on plant function.
INTRODUCTION: Hypertension is one of the preventable causes of premature morbidity and mortality worldwide. The term "prehypertension", defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) between 120 and 139 mmHg and/or diastolic BP between 80 and 89 mmHg, was introduced in 2003 and concerns around 25% to 50% of adults worldwide. The objective of this work was to describe some sociodemographic and behavioral factors associated with prehypertension compared to hypertension in a black population.
METHOD: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the commune of Anyama, located about 10 km from the city of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). Sociodemographic and behavioral data were collected. Body mass index and abdominal obesity were defined. BP was measured and was categorized into two modalities: prehypertension and hypertension. Data were entered with Epi data® software and analyzed with R studio® software. The existence of associations was determined using Pearson's Chi-square test at the 0.05 significance level. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed.
RESULTS: Five hundred and seven (507) people were recruited with a mean age of 35.9 ± 12.8 years, among whom 266 had prehypertension (52.5%) and 140 had hypertension (27.6%). Age, wealth index, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and abdominal obesity were associated with blood pressure. Prehypertension was very high in younger subjects compared to older subjects with a gradually decreasing odds ratio as individuals aged (p=0.001). The determinants of prehypertension compared to hypertension were age less than 44 years; absence of sedentary lifestyle; and absence of obesity.
CONCLUSION: Some sociodemographic and behavioral factors were favorable for prehypertension compared to hypertension.

PURPOSE:To enable simplified and rapid operation of cell separation at a low cost by filling the filter with a separation sheet which is made of a polyvinyl acetal resin containing open cells of 10 to 1,000mum average pore size. CONSTITUTION:A polyvinyl acetal resin including open cells of 10 to 1,000mum average pore size and having 50 to 100% acetalization such as polyvinyl formal or polyvinyl butylal resin is processed into a sheet of a sponge structure as a cell body separator. For example, this sheet is punched into a disk of an appropriate diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the column to prepare the separator which is set in the column. The cell suspension is poured from the inlet 3 into the separator 1 so that the separator 2 is sufficiently soaked. Then, the rinsing solution is poured to rinse off the unadsorbed cells from outlet 4 and they are recovered. Thus, the separator of very high stability as well as high separative power is obtained and the cells can be separated without change in their population.
Ischemic stroke is the main cause of disability in the world. More than 70% of stroke patients show various degrees of neural function impairment. Early rehabilitation in acute phase is beneficial for improving patient's activity of daily livings and motor function. However, it is difficult to obtain effective rehabilitation during the acute phase of stroke because of the insufficiency of professional rehabilitation therapists in stroke wards in China. The investigators assume that implementing program based on modified Barthel Index can realize nursing-directed motor rehabilitation during acute phase of ischemic stroke. The present study is to conduct quasi-experimental research to confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of nursing-directed precision rehabilitation in acute stroke patients.
At the time of breast cancer diagnosis, most patients meet the diagnostic criteria to be classified as obese or overweight. This can significantly impact patient outcome: breast cancer patients with obesity (body mass index > 30) have a poorer prognosis compared to patients with a lean BMI. Obesity is associated with hyperleptinemia, and leptin is a well-established driver of metastasis in breast cancer. However, the effect of hyperleptinemia on angiogenesis in breast cancer is less well-known. Angiogenesis is an important process in breast cancer because it is essential for tumor growth beyond 1mm3 in size as well as cancer cell circulation and metastasis. This review investigates the role of leptin in regulating angiogenesis, specifically within the context of breast cancer and the associated tumor microenvironment in obese patients.
Patients who fail previous steroids and avatrombopag and then switch to Rh-TPO will be enrolled. The reason for switch will be recorded. Patients will be given rh-TPO 300 U/kg once daily for 14 days as initial treatment. After initial treatment, maintenance therapy were performance. At initial therapy, rhTPO will be suspended when platelet counts ≥100×10\^9 / L. During maintenance therapy, patients with platelet counts \>150×10\^9 / L will suspend treatment until platelet counts drop to ≤150×10\^9 / L. Dosing interval will be prolonged when platelet count is ≥100×10\^9 / L to ≤150×10\^9 / L. Dose modification is not required when platelet count is ≥30×10\^9 / L to \<100×10\^9 / L. The efficacy, safety, and patient/physician preference will be assessed.
