To investigate the potential role and molecular mechanism of circ_0005015 in GBM progression. Circ_0005015, microRNA-382-5p (miR-382-5p), and BTB domain and CNC homolog 1 (BACH1) levels were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell proliferation was determined by MTT, colony formation, and EdU assays. Cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion were assessed using wound healing and transwell assays. Glucose accumulation and lactate levels were examined by the corresponding kit. RNA pull-down and dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to confirm the interaction between miR-382-5p and circ_0005015 or BACH1. Protein levels of MMP9, PCNA, and BACH1 were examined using western blot assay. Role of circ_0005015 on tumor growth in vivo was analyzed using a xenograft tumor model. Circ_0005015 content was up-regulated in GBM patients and cells, its knockdown restrained GBM cell proliferation, migration, invasion, glycolysis, and triggered apoptosis. Mechanistically, we found that circ_0005015 could directly interact with miR-382-5p and serve as a miRNA sponge to regulate BACH1 expression. In addition, circ_0005015 knockdown might repress tumor growth in vivo. Circ_0005015 boosted GBM progression via binding to miR-382-5p to up-regulate BACH1, which may offer new effective targets for GBM treatment.

Some patients with chronic pain are on long-term opioid therapy. Methadone and buprenorphine are often used in long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain. Additionally, chronic pain is highly prevalent in people receiving methadone or buprenorphine for opioid use disorder (MOUD). It is observed that up to 68% of people with MOUD have chronic pain condition. Therefore, a large number of people taking methadone or buprenorphine will suffer from chronic pain, but they frequently face limited availability of clinicians offering non-pharmacological pain management programs. Thus, a brief internet-based pain relief skills program may be one option that can overcome such treatment barrier. A recent randomized control trial on patients with chronic low back pain has demonstrated that a single-session, 2-hour, pain management class (Empowered Relief; ER) was effective to improve pain and pain-related distress. The ER class consists of pain neuroscience education and self-regulatory skills. While the ER is a promising and scalable option, it is not yet tested in patients with chronic pain who take methadone or buprenorphine. The current proposed, single-arm, uncontrolled pilot project will determine a) a feasibility in this patient population, b) patients' perceptions and satisfaction of the ER class and c) preliminary efficacy to inform the design of a future, larger, controlled trial.
This study will be a prospective cohort study. It will include patients treated with the custom-made implants for orbital blow out fractures, ZMC fractures or tumors. The sample will consist of 34 patients who will need orbital reconstruction and will be operated in Maxillofacial, Head and Neck Unit, General Surgery Department, Faculty Of Medicine, Sohag University, Egypt.

Culturally Adapted manualised Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will be a brief problem focused therapy comprising of 6 sessions within three months after a self-harm episode. The adapted therapy/training will be delivered by therapists/trained counselors at the hospital. Sessions will be offered weekly in the first two weeks and than fortnightly and will last 50 minutes. During each session the therapists will assess the risk of suicide and will liaise with the research supervisor and patient's treating clinician.

The areas covered by the manual which has been adapted include an evaluation of the self-harm attempt, crisis skills, problem solving, and basic cognitive techniques to manage emotions and negative thinking and relapse prevention strategies. The treatment will be structured around patient's current problems with the relevant sections of the manual helping the patient to deal with specific problems leading to the self-harm act. Between the sessions the manual can be used for homework tasks by the patient.
Baseline mechanical ventilation data with conventional pressure-limited assist/control ventilation mode will then be collected for a 4-hour period. The patients will then be transitioned to pressure-limited entrainment-based ventilation for a 4-hour period. Baseline ventilation monitoring will be carried out either immediately preceding or immediately following EMV in the same patient. The sequence of the control/baseline phase and the experimental phase of the study will be randomized.
BACKGROUND: Quetiapine monotherapy is recommended as the first-line option for acute mania and acute bipolar depression. However, the mechanism of action of quetiapine is unclear. Network pharmacology and molecular docking were employed to determine the molecular mechanisms of quetiapine bidirectional regulation of bipolar depression and mania.
METHODS: Putative target genes for quetiapine were collected from the GeneCard, SwissTargetPrediction, and DrugBank databases. Targets for bipolar depression and bipolar mania were identified from the DisGeNET and GeneCards databases. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was generated using the String database and imported into Cytoscape. DAVID and the Bioinformatics platform were employed to perform the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses of the top 15 core targets. The drug-pathway-target-disease network was constructed using Cytoscape. Finally, molecular docking was performed to evaluate the interactions between quetiapine and potential targets.
RESULTS: Targets for quetiapine actions against bipolar depression (126 targets) and bipolar mania (81 targets) were identified. Based on PPI and KEGG pathway analyses, quetiapine may affect bipolar depression by targeting the MAPK and PI3K/AKT insulin signaling pathways via BDNF, INS, EGFR, IGF1, and NGF, and it may affect bipolar mania by targeting the neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction signaling pathway via HTR1A, HTR1B, HTR2A, DRD2, and GRIN2B. Molecular docking revealed good binding affinity between quetiapine and potential targets.
LIMITATIONS: Pharmacological experiments should be conducted to verify and further explore these results.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that quetiapine affects bipolar depression and bipolar mania through distinct biological core targets, and thus through different mechanisms. Furthermore, our results provide a theoretical basis for the clinical use of quetiapine and possible directions for new drug development.

Same treatment in main period (26 weeks) and extension period I (26 weeks). Participants will switch to Somapacitan during extension period II. Dosage of Somapacitan during extension period II will be determined based on the data from main phase.
The causes and consequences of excess exercise ventilation (EEV) in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (f-ILD) were explored. Twenty-eight adults with f-ILD and 13 controls performed an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test. EEV was defined as ventilation-carbon dioxide output (⩒E-⩒CO2) slope ≥36 L/L. Patients showed lower pulmonary function and exercise capacity compared to controls. Lower DLCO was related to higher ⩒E-⩒CO2 slope in patients (P<0.05). 13/28 patients (46.4%) showed EEV, reporting higher dyspnea scores (P=0.033). Patients with EEV showed a higher dead space (VD)/tidal volume (VT) ratio while O2 saturation dropped to a greater extent during exercise compared to those without EEV. Higher breathing frequency and VT/inspiratory capacity ratio were observed during exercise in the former group (P<0.05). An exaggerated ventilatory response to exercise in patients with f-ILD is associated with a blunted decrease in the wasted ventilation in the physiological dead space and greater hypoxemia, prompting higher inspiratory constraints and breathlessness.

BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an important etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and there is no established therapy for this syndrome. Rapid-onset obesity with hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation, autonomic dysregulation, and neural crest tumor (ROHHAD(NET)) is an extremely rare syndrome considered to be life-threatening, with death occurring around 10 years of age. We present the oldest known autopsy case of this syndrome that developed HCC. This case provided important information on not only improving the course of this syndrome, but also understanding the natural history and therapeutic modalities of NASH and HCC.
METHODS: The patient was diagnosed with ROHHAD(NET) syndrome in childhood, and liver cirrhosis due to NASH was diagnosed at age 17. HCC was detected at age 20, and embolization and irradiation were performed. At age 21, she died from accidental acute pancreatitis and subsequent liver failure and pulmonary hemorrhage.
RESULTS: Rapid onset of obesity, hypoventilation, and hypothalamic disturbance appeared in childhood and was diagnosed as this syndrome. At age 17, liver cirrhosis due to NASH was diagnosed by liver biopsy, and at age 20, HCC was diagnosed by imaging. Transarterial chemoembolization and irradiation were performed, and the HCC was well controlled for a year.
CONCLUSION: At age 21, she died from accidental acute pancreatitis, subsequent liver failure and pulmonary hemorrhage. Autopsy revealed that the HCC was mostly necrotized. This case was valuable not only for other ROHHAD(NET) syndrome cases, but also in improving our understanding of the natural history of NASH and HCC.

Most preferably, the amino acid sequence of the fusion protein of the present invention is formed by sequentially connecting SEQ ID NO.: 1, SEQ ID NO.: 3, SEQ ID NO.: 5, SEQ ID NO.: 7, SEQ ID NO.: 9 and SEQ ID NO.: 11, and the immune cells expressing the fusion protein have strong killing activity.
Psychological stress is a major contributing factor to several health problems (e.g., depression, cardiovascular disease). Around 35 % of the world's population suffers from it, including younger generations. Physiologically, stress manifests through neuroendocrine pathways (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis and Sympathetic-Adrenal-Medullary (SAM) system) which culminate in the production of stress mediators like cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Stress and its mediators have been associated to body aging, through molecular mechanisms such as telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, chronic inflammation, and dysbiosis, among others. Regarding its impact in the skin, stress impacts its structural integrity and physiological function. Despite this review focusing on several hallmarks of aging, emphasis was placed on skin microbiota dysbiosis. In this line, several studies, comprising different age groups, demographic contexts and body sites, have reported skin microbiota alterations associated with aging, and some effects of stress mediators on skin microbiota have also been reviewed in this paper. From a different perspective, since it is not a "traditional" stress mediator, oxytocin, a cortisol antagonist, has been related to glucorticoids inhibition and to display positive effects on cellular aging. This hormone dysregulation has been associated to psychological issues such as depression, whereas its upregulation has been linked to positive social interaction.
Participants assigned to the control arm will receive the dietary counseling and will be told that relaxation can help reduce appetite. However, techniques to relax will not be taught. Instead, participants will be encouraged to sit quietly listening to music (of their choice) every day for 20 minutes. Participants assigned to the standard care arm will receive an MP3-player and will be given a choice of selection of music that they can load on their MP3 player (classical music, country music, jazz, etc.).
The intervention is a laughter yoga programme consisting of twelve sessions (biweekly). Sixty-six children with ASD and their father or mother from local autism support groups will join this study. Participants will be given an information sheet. Participants will be fully informed about laughter yoga's details, benefits and risks. All participants voluntarily take part in this study. If the family agrees to participate in this study, the parent will sign the consent form. Families will be randomized into an experimental group or a wait-list-control group. Before the laughter yoga programme, baseline data (T0) will be collected. The experimental group (n=33) will attend the twelve classes led by a certified laughter yoga trainer in an activity room that is suitable for indoor exercise. A research assistant will assist the laughter yoga teacher and provide first aid if needed. Parents will complete the questionnaire again immediately at the Programme End (T1) and at a 3-month follow-up (T2). The wait-list-control group (n=33) will receive the same laughter yoga programme after 3-month follow-up (T2).
Recombinant Bordetella pertussis strains derived from parent strain Tohama are provided. The new strains are obtained by homologous recombination using a allelic exchange vector pSS4245, which allows the replacement of sections of the bacterial chromosome without leaving any accessory mutations. The segment encoding PT subunit SI is replaced to introduce two mutations causing inactivation of the toxic activity of PT. This strain can be further modified to express increased amounts of rPT and/or PRN. A second copy of the ptx cluster of the five PT structural genes of the ptx-ptl operon with their promoter and the ptl terminator and containing the above mutations can be inserted elsewhere on the chromosome. In addition, a second copy of the PRN gene can be inserted on the chromosome. In both cases, abandoned gene loci are selected as the insertion site to avoid the introduction of unwanted genetic alterations.
INTRODUCTION: Long-term biological stress, reflected in hair cortisol and cortisone levels, predicts future weight gain and metabolic deterioration. This is likely at least partially mediated by glucocorticoid-induced increases in hedonic overeating. Yet, the relationship between long-term biological stress and long-term hedonic eating tendencies remains to be elucidated.
METHODS: We included N=108 adults with lifestyle-induced obesity (91 women, median body-mass-index=38.4 kg/m2) for our primary analysis investigating cross-sectional associations between long-term biological stress (hair cortisol and cortisone measured in the first 3 cm of scalp hair using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry) and self-reported long-term hedonic eating tendencies (emotional and external eating, 'Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire', and trait food craving, 'Food Craving Questionnaire-Trait'). In secondary analyses, we investigated the moderating role of long-term psychological stress (Perceived Stress Scale-14 score) on the relation between hair glucocorticoid levels and hedonic eating tendencies.
RESULTS: Higher hair cortisone levels, but not higher hair cortisol levels, were associated with more food cravings after adjustment for sex and age (p<0.05). The association remained significant after additional adjustment for psychological stress (p<0.05). Psychological stress correlated positively with food craving and hedonic eating (p<0.05), and, in trend, with external eating (p<0.1). Stratification of stress groups (high vs. low psychological stress in addition to high vs. low biological stress) showed food cravings and emotional eating to be highest in the group with both high psychological-stress and high hair-cortisone (p<0.05), suggesting potential additive effects of different stress measures.
CONCLUSION: Long-term psychological and biological stress correlate with hedonic eating tendencies with potentially adverse additive effects on weight management and clinical features of obesity.
