BACKGROUND: The rising global prevalence of visual impairment attributed to population growth and ageing heightens the risk of increased vision problems for many. However, there is a limited understanding of factors influencing intervention implementation, and the degree to which participation is achieved in interventions for eye health promotion by eye care professionals is currently limited.
AIM: The purpose of this protocol is to review evidence on barriers and facilitators in eye health promotion, and their effectiveness on interventions employed in eye health promotion.
METHODS AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS: The Center for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD) guidance for conducting systematic reviews in healthcare and reporting in accordance with the PRISMA statement will serve as the basis for the implementation of the proposed systematic review. Systematic literature searches will be performed by searching three databases, as well as hand-searching articles eligible for inclusion. The searches will include peer-reviewed articles presenting evidence on eye health promotion intervention from the inception of the Vision 2020 Campaign to the present day. RevMan 5.3 software will be used to gather quantitative data, such as (Effectiveness), meta-analysis of such data will be performed. Two reviewers will conduct a quality appraisal of the included articles using the mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT) 2018 version. We expect to find relevant studies on health promotion interventions among health professionals at different levels of care. The synthesized evidence will help guide further implementation of research on health promotion interventions for eye health.

The invention relates to an immunoliposome containing a natural bleomycin, a preparation method thereof and an application of the immunoliposome in resisting breast cancer. The immunoliposome is coated with phospholipid and cholesterol, and modified with trastuzumab. The preparation method of the invention for preparing the Tiancimycin immunoliposome is simple and has excellent anti-tumor effect. The new-type immunological liposome of TIANCIMUM can improve the defect of TIANCIMUM that has no selectivity to tumor cells, and can improve the anti-tumor effect of TIANCIMUM. Meanwhile, the active targeting immunoliposome with trastuzumab as a target has obvious targeting in vivo, and the antitumor effect is obviously different from that of the non-targeting liposome. The invention can provide a new way for the anti-tumor application of the TIANCIRCINS, and has important significance for the clinical application of the TIANCIRCINS.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical features and genetic etiology of a fetus with 15q11q13 complex duplication syndrome.
METHODS: A fetus diagnosed with 15q11q13 duplication syndrome at Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital on April 19, 2023 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data was collected, and the fetus was subjected to invasive prenatal diagnosis including G-banded karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Following the discovery of chromosomal duplication, trio-whole exome sequencing was carried out to exclude single base variants and confirm the parental original of the duplication. Optical genome mapping was also performed to delineate the structural arrangement of the duplication. Relevant literature was searched in the PubMed, Wanfang Medical Network and CNKI databases using "15q11q13", "duplication", "hexasomy" and "Six fold repetition" as the key words from January 1, 2000 to August 1, 2023 for a review of previously reported 15q11q13 hexasomy cases. This study was approved by the Ningbo Women & Children's Hospital (Ethics No. EC2020-048).
RESULTS: The fetus was found to have a mosaicism karyotype of 48,X?,+mar,+idic(15)(q13)[33]/47,X?,+idic(15)(q13)[17]. CMA and trio-WES have all shown a six-fold duplication in the PWS/AS critical region (PWACR) at 15q11.2q13.2 and quadruple duplication of 15q13.2q13.3 region, which have derived from its mother and formed supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs). Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the 15q11.2q13.2 sixfold duplication was classified as pathogenic, whilst the 15q13.2q13.3 quadruple duplication was classified as variant of uncertain significance. Literature search has identified 11 cases of 15q11q13 duplication involving hexasomy of the PWACR, with all cases showing mental retardation, language delay and hypotonia, and most of them also had motor retardation, epilepsy and mild facial dysmorphism.
CONCLUSION: Hexasomy for the PWACR combined with tetrasomy of 15q13.2q13.3 probably underlay the left hand polydactyly, polyhydramnios and intrauterine growth retardation in this fetus.
A dental prosthesis including a secondary member coupled to at least one prosthetic tooth suitable for being effectively mounted onto or readily removed from a primary member coupled to a remaining tooth or implant. A bar member is accommodated inside a common bore in the primary and secondary members for coupling thereof. An arresting disc member is introduced into a recess inside the prosthetic toth to block off a leading shaft portion of the bar member having the largest cross-section and preventing the bar member from falling out. The entire bar member is suitable for freely moving along the bores of the primary and secondary members. Between an intermediate portion of the bar member and the recess inside the prosthetic tooth is a space which is filled with plastic material. A trailing head portion of the bar member is ground off to correspond with the buccal exterior surface of the prosthetic tooth.
The results of studies evaluating PPI therapy versus lifestyle modifications for the treatment of LPR have not been conclusive. However, many of these studies were conducted at tertiary care centers. We will look at patients presenting with LPR symptoms in a community setting. All subjects will have an exam of their larynx via laryngoscopy at each of the 4 study visits (screening, week 6, week 12, and week 24). Based on exam findings, the physician will complete the Reflux Finding Score. The subjects will also complete the Reflux Symptom Index weekly to assess for changes in their symptoms. The statistical analysis of this study will include evaluating changes in the Reflux Finding Scores and Reflux Symptom Index scores over the 24 weeks of study participation.
The Rett Syndrome Global Registry is a fully remote, global, caregiver-reported registry intended to meet the needs of caregivers, clinicians and researchers, and therapeutic developers with the goal to increase our understanding of this rare disorder, support better outcomes for those with Rett syndrome, and facilitate improved therapeutic development. The Rett Global Registry allows families to provide data about their experience with Rett syndrome to improve their loved one's care while contributing to research. Participants may opt in to track and graph symptoms and care strategies over time to support day-to-day care. Participants may also access aggregate data to see similarities and differences in care strategies and consolidate their personal information in a central location. Participants may opt-in to complete medical record consolidation and summary that is centrally accessible, able to be shared with care providers, and utilized for research.

The registry database is designed and maintained to clinical trial standards and supports research and therapeutic development while meeting or exceeding federal privacy and confidentiality requirements. These datasets including caregiver-reported Rett syndrome progression, quality of life, at home day-to-day data, and consolidated medical records from office visits or hospital stays, provides unique and previously unused sources of information important for improving our understanding of Rett syndrome, allow additional avenues of research, and support therapeutic development. Specifically, the registry is intended to assist with clinical development planning, trial design, trial endpoints, and regulatory filings.
BACKGROUNDS: F-box protein 45 (FBXO45) has been implicated in the progression of several diseases. Whether FBXO45 is involved in the development of bladder cancer remains unclear. Thus, this study focused on the effect of FBXO45 on the malignant progression of bladder cancer cells.
METHODS: FBXO45 small-interference fragment was transfected into RT4 and 5637 cells by liposome-mediated transfection, and the knockdown efficiency of FBXO45 was verified by Western blot assay. The growth rate between FBXO45 knockdown cell lines and control cell lines was compared by counting kit 8 and plate cloning experiments. The motility of bladder cancer cells was observed via the Transwell test and Wound healing test. The effects of FBXO45 silencing on apoptosis and cell division were confirmed by flow cytometry. Western blot assay was performed to determine the function of FBXO45 knockdown on key proteins of cell apoptosis and the ERK/Cyclin D1/CDK4 pathway.
RESULTS: After FBXO45 knockdown, the proliferation of bladder cancer cells was blocked (p < 0.01), and the migration and invasion abilities were reduced (p < 0.01). FBXO45 knockdown reduced the number of S-phase cells (RT4, p < 0.01; 5637, p < 0.05) and enhanced the apoptotic rate (p < 0.01). FBXO45 knockdown decreased the levels of p-ERK1/2, CDK4 and Cyclin D1 (p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that FBXO45 plays a carcinogenic role in bladder cancer via the ERK/Cyclin D1/CDK4 pathway, which provides a reference for the clinical treatment of patients with bladder cancer.
A method of treating an acute myocardial infarction by administering to an individual an effective amount of a formulation which inhibits and/or depletes phagocytic cells with high specificity, thereby suppressing the inflammatory response that occurs during and following acute myocardial infarction. The formulation comprises an agent which is an intracellular inhibitor that is released within the targeted phagocytic cells, specifically macrophage/monocytes, and inhibits and/or destroys the macrophages and/or monocytes, thereby reducing the final zone of infarct and improving cardiac repair and myocardial remodeling. Since macrophages and monocytes possess the unique ability to phagocytose large bodies, the agent is formulated into a specific size such that it can enter cells primarily via phagocytosis.; Thus, the specifically sized formulation selectively targets monocytes/macrophages. The formulation may comprise an encapsulated agent, an embedded agent or a particulate agent, wherein the formulation is of a specific size, such that it can enter cells primarily via phagocytosis. The formulation is preferably in the size range of 0.03-1.0 microns.
Low-grade inflammation (LGI) represents a key driver of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its associated cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Indeed, inflammatory markers such as hs-CRP and IL-6 predict the development of T2D and its complications, suggesting that LGI already increases before T2D diagnosis and remains elevated even after treatment. Overnutrition, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, obesity, and aging are all recognized triggers of LGI, promoting insulin resistance and sustaining the pathogenesis of T2D. Once developed, and even before frank appearance, people with T2D undergo a pathological metabolic remodeling, with an alteration of multiple CVD risk factors, i.e., glycemia, lipids, blood pressure, and renal function. In turn, such variables foster a range of inflammatory pathways and mechanisms, e.g., immune cell stimulation, the accrual of senescent cells, long-lasting epigenetic changes, and trained immunity, which are held to chronically fuel LGI at the systemic and tissue levels. Targeting of CVD risk factors partially ameliorates LGI. However, some long-lasting inflammatory pathways are unaffected by common therapies, and LGI burden is still increased in many T2D patients, a phenomenon possibly underlying the residual inflammatory risk (i.e., having hs-CRP > 2 mg/dL despite optimal LDL cholesterol control). On the other hand, selected disease-modifying drugs, e.g., GLP-1RA, seem to also act on the pathogenesis of T2D, curbing the inflammatory trajectory of the disease and possibly preventing it if introduced early. In addition, selected trials demonstrated the potential of canonical anti-inflammatory therapies in reducing the rate of CVDs in patients with this condition or at high risk for it, many of whom had T2D. Since colchicine, an inhibitor of immune cell activation, is now approved for the prevention of CVDs, it might be worth exploring a possible therapeutic paradigm to identify subjects with T2D and an increased LGI burden to treat them with this drug. Upcoming studies will reveal whether disease-modifying drugs reverse early T2D by suppressing sources of LGI and whether colchicine has a broad benefit in people with this condition.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the association between central sensitivity to thyroid hormones and all-cause mortality in euthyroid patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
METHODS: ​Data on thyroid function indicators and all-cause mortality for CKD patients were extracted from the NHANES database (2007-2012). Central sensitivities to thyroid hormones were mainly evaluated by Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index (TFQI). The Kaplan-Meier method, Cox proportional hazards regression model and subgroup analysis were performed to explore the potential associations between thyroid hormone sensitivity and all-cause mortality.
RESULTS: A total of 1303 euthyroid CKD patients were enrolled in this study. After a median follow-up of 115 months, 503 participants died. The Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated significant variations in survival rates among different levels of TFQI (P = 0.0015). Cox regression analysis showed that increased levels of TFQI were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality after adjusting for multiple confounding factors (HR = 1.40, 95% CI 1.10-1.79, P = 0.007). Subgroup analysis did not reveal any significant variation in the association between TFQI and all-cause mortality between the subgroups assessed (P for interaction > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity might be linked to increased mortality in euthyroid CKD patients. Further research is needed to confirm and explore this association.
As with all peptides, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to Angiomax in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.

In in vitro studies, Angiomax exhibited no platelet aggregation response against sera from patients with a history of HIT/HITTS.

Among 494 subjects who received Angiomax in clinical trials and were tested for antibodies, 2 subjects had treatment-emergent positive bivalirudin antibody tests. Neither subject demonstrated clinical evidence of allergic or anaphylactic reactions and repeat testing was not performed. Nine additional patients who had initial positive tests were negative on repeat testing.
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common orthopedic disease characterized by disability and deformity. To better understand ONFH at molecular level and to explore the possibility of early diagnosis, instead of diagnosis based on macroscopic spatial characteristics, a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) method was developed for ONFH disease for the first time. The most challenging step for ONFH MSI is to deal with human bone tissues which are much harder than the other biological samples studied by the reported MSI studies. In this work, the MSI sectioning method of hard bone tissues was established using tender acids and a series of test criteria. Small-molecule metabolites, such as lipids and amino acids, were detected in bone sections, realizing the in situ detection of spatial distribution of biometabolites. By comparing the distribution of metabolites from different regions of normal femoral head, ONFH bone tissue (ONBT), and adjacent ONFH bone tissue (ANBT), the whole process of femoral head from normal stage to necrosis was monitored and visualized at molecular level. Moreover, this developed MSI method was used for metabolomics study of ONFH. 72 differential metabolites were identified, suggesting that disturbances in energy metabolism and lipid metabolism affected the normal life activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. This study provides new perspectives for future pathological studies of ONFH.

Methods and compositions are disclosed for the use of allogeneic mononuclear phagocytes to promote axonal regeneration in the central nervous system of a mammal. In one embodiment, allogeneic mononuclear phagocytes are cultured together with stimulatory tissue, such as skin, dermis or at least one nerve segment, and are subsequently administered into the central nervous system of a mammal at or near a site of injury or disease. In an alternative embodiment, autologous monocytes, preferably stimulated autologous monocytes, are administered into the central nervous system of a mammal at or near a site of injury or disease. CNS administration of mononuclear phagocytes may optionally be combined with administration of an adjuvant factor (e.g. aFGF) to the CNS, anti-inflammatory therapy of the mammal, or both. Methods for screening stimulatory tissue and cells and methods and compositions for cryopreserved allogeneic mononuclear phagocytes are also disclosed.
Zika is a systemic inflammatory disease caused by infection with Zika virus (ZIKV). ZIKV infection in adults is associated with encephalitis marked by elevated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, as well as increased brain infiltration of immune cells. In this study, we demonstrate that ZIKV encephalitis in a mouse infection model exhibits increased brain TSPO expression. TSPO expression on brain-resident and infiltrating immune cells in ZIKV infection correlates with disease and inflammation status in the brain. Brain TSPO expression can also be sensitively detected ex vivo and in vitro using radioactive small molecule probes that specifically bind to TSPO, such as [3H]PK11195. TSPO expression on brain-resident and infiltrating immune cells is a biomarker of ZIKV neuroinflammation, which can also be a general biomarker of acute viral neuroinflammatory disease.
OBJECTIVE: Binge-eating disorder (BED) is a strongly stigmatized condition and is often complicated by weight stigma. Research on the intersection between BED and weight stigma is scarce especially in Chinese populations. The present study examined BED stigma in Chinese, whether BED stigma was independent from weight stigma, and whether diagnostic labeling and etiological explanations influenced the degree of BED stigma.
METHOD: Using a between-subject experimental vignette study, 642 participants (mean age = 29.74 years, SD = 11.34) were randomly assigned to read one of the 18 vignettes, describing a character with information on BED symptoms, weight status, diagnostic labeling, and etiological explanations, followed by measures of stigma and help-seeking intentions.
RESULTS: The character with BED symptoms was ascribed more negative personality characteristics, elicited more negative affective reactions, and triggered greater desired social distance compared to the character without BED symptoms. No evidence for weight stigma was found nor for its interaction with BED stigma. The Cantonese diagnostic label of BED, kwong sik zing, was associated with lower levels of volitional stigma and greater help-seeking intentions than the diagnostic label of eating disorders, jam sik sat tiu, and the absence of labeling. The effect of etiological explanations was only significant in the univariate test, indicating that providing either a psychosocial or a biogenetic etiological explanation lessened the negative evaluations of personality characteristics.
DISCUSSION: The present study provided first evidence for BED stigma in Chinese. BED stigma appeared to be attributable to the presence of disordered eating behavior rather than the BED diagnosis.

In a method of generating a virtual 3D model of a dental site, scan data comprising a plurality of images of a dental site is received during an intraoral scan. An analysis of an image is performed. A representation of a reference object with known properties is identified in the image based on the analysis. A virtual 3D model of the dental site is generated based on the plurality of images. The image and/or the virtual 3D model of the dental site is modified by adding additional data about the reference object to the intraoral image and/or the virtual 3D model based on the one or more known properties of the reference object. If the image is modified, it may be modified prior to generation of the virtual 3D model, and the virtual 3D model may be generated using the modified image.
