FIELD: veterinary science. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying local effect to endometrium by injecting into uterus cavity 200-250 ml of mixture composed of equal parts of 0.0-0.12% electrolytic solution of sodium hypochlorite and 4-5% solution of hydrogen peroxide heated to 37 C 6-12 h after calving in the course of 1-2 days. Efficiency of the claimed method for treating cows in case of placenta retention is 100% as compared with 5-% in the animals of the reference group which were treated with hormonal agents. The period from calving to fecundation proved to be 44 days shorter in the cows of the test group while the insemination index was smaller by 0.6% . Period between calving and first insemination reduced by 17.3 days. EFFECT: higher contractility of uterus muscles and better postnatal involution of the entire uterus. 1 tbl
This 5-session text-enhanced intervention is designed to mitigate the negative behavioral consequences of internalized stigma and shame among MSM and gender minority individuals with SUDs that perpetuate sub-optimal engagement in HIV self-care and consequently inconsistent viral suppression. The intervention involves five virtually delivered one-on-one therapy sessions focused on behavioral goal setting skill development and related self-efficacy, increasing meta-cognitive awareness(i.e.,non-judgmental awareness of emotions and cognitions), and teaching and reinforcing compassionate self-restructuring (i.e., self-compassion). Participants also receive daily text messages querying emotions during the one-on-one portion of the intervention. For eight weeks after the one-on-one portion, participants receive their compassionate self-statements via text in response to their indicated emotions. Participants will also receive phone-based resource navigation, as needed.
BACKGROUND: Cerebral edema, a significant complication arising from acute ischemic stroke (IS), has a critical influence on morbidity and mortality. p38MAPK has been shown to promote neuronal apoptosis and brain damage. However, the role of the p38MAPK inhibitor SKF-86002 in protecting against ischemic injury and cerebral edema remains unclear.
METHODS: Infarct area was examined by TTC staining in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice. Neurological score and brain water content were evaluated. TUNEL and NeuN staining were used to assess neuronal apoptosis and the survival of neurons. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was determined by Evans blue. Double immunofluorescence staining detected the colocalization of AQP4 and CX43 in astrocytes. IHC staining revealed CX43 and AQP4 expression. EDU staining detected the proliferation of Oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-treated astrocytes. Levels of oxidative stress markers were determined using commercial kits. ELISA was used to assess the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors. RT-qPCR measured the expression of CX43, AQP4 and pro-inflammatory factors. Western blot analyzed the levels of p-p38/p38, AQP4 and CX43. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) determined the interaction between CX43 and AQP4.
RESULTS: SKF-86002 attenuated brain damage, edema, and neuronal apoptosis in MCAO mice. Astrocyte proliferation was suppressed, and oxidative stress and inflammation were alleviated by SKF-86002 treatment. SKF-86002 negatively regulated p38 signaling and the expression of AQP4 and CX43. Additionally, the expression of CX43/AQP4 within astrocytes was modulated by SKF-86002.
CONCLUSION: In summary, SKF-86002 alleviated IS injury and cerebral edema by inhibiting astrocyte proliferation, oxidative stress and inflammation. This effect was associated with the suppression of CX43/AQP4, suggesting that SKF-86002 shows promise as a novel therapeutic approach for preventing IS.

Predicting potential drug-disease associations (RDAs) plays a pivotal role in elucidating therapeutic strategies for diseases and facilitating drug repositioning, making it of paramount importance. However, existing methods are constrained and rely heavily on limited domain-specific knowledge, impeding their ability to effectively predict candidate associations between drugs and diseases. Moreover, the simplistic definition of unknown information pertaining to drug-disease relationships as negative samples presents inherent limitations. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a novel hierarchical negative sampling-based graph contrastive model, termed HSGCLRDA, which aims to forecast latent associations between drugs and diseases. In this study, HSGCLRDA integrates the association information as well as similarity between drugs, diseases and proteins. Meanwhile, the model constructs a drug-disease-protein heterogeneous network. Subsequently, employing a hierarchical structural sampling technique, we establish reliable negative drug-disease samples utilizing PageRank algorithms. Utilizing meta-path aggregation within the heterogeneous network, we derive low-dimensional representations for drugs and diseases, thereby constructing global and local feature graphs that capture their interactions comprehensively. To obtain representation information, we adopt a self-supervised graph contrastive approach that leverages graph convolutional networks (GCNs) and second-order GCNs to extract feature graph information. Furthermore, we integrate a contrastive cost function derived from the cross-entropy cost function, facilitating holistic model optimization. Experimental results obtained from benchmark datasets not only showcase the superior performance of HSGCLRDA compared to various baseline methods in predicting RDAs but also emphasize its practical utility in identifying novel potential diseases associated with existing drugs through meticulous case studies.

We performed a molecular analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded and decalcified bone marrow trephine biopsies of 41 patients with a B-cell disorder with lymphoplasmacytic differentiation to enable a more precise diagnosis and to describe potentially prognostic and therapeutic relevant mutations. Analysis was performed with a commercially available next-generation sequencing (NGS) lymphoma panel (Lymphoma Solution, SophiaGenetics). Results were correlated with clinical and pathological parameters. Our group covered a spectrum of B-cell disorders with plasmacytic differentiation ranging from Waldenstroem's macroglobulinemia (WM), to small-B-cell lymphomas with plasmacytic differentiation (SBCL-PC) to IgM myeloma (MM). The most helpful diagnostic criteria included morphology and immuno-phenotype as a prerequisite for the interpretation of molecular analysis. MYD88 mutation was present in nearly all WM, but also in 50% of SBCL-PCs, while MM were consistently negative. Driver mutations, such as TP53, were already detectable early in the course of the respective diseases indicating a higher risk of progression, transformation, and reduced progression-free survival. In addition, we report on a novel BIRC3 frameshift mutation in one case of a progressive WM. Our data indicate that patients with LPL/WM might benefit from thorough pathological work-up and detailed molecular analysis in terms of precise diagnosis and targeted treatment allocation.
Newly arrived refugees offer insights into malaria epidemiology in their countries of origin. We evaluated asymptomatic refugee children within 7 days of arrival in Uganda from South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in 2022 for parasitemia, parasite species, and Plasmodium falciparum drug resistance markers. Asymptomatic P. falciparum infections were common in both populations. Coinfection with P. malariae was more common in DRC refugees. Prevalences of markers of aminoquinoline resistance (PfCRT K76T, PfMDR1 N86Y) were much higher in South Sudan refugees, of antifolate resistance (PfDHFR C59R and I164L, PfDHPS A437G, K540E, and A581G) much higher in DRC refugees, and of artemisinin partial resistance (ART-R; PfK13 C469Y and A675V) moderate in both populations. Prevalences of most mutations differed from those seen in Ugandans attending health centers near the refugee centers. Refugee evaluations yielded insights into varied malaria epidemiology and identified markers of ART-R in 2 previously little-studied countries.

Compositions which deliver adsorbents, alone or in combination with active drug 'degrading molecules,' in a site-specific manner to the intestine, and which eliminate or at least lower the concentration of residual unwanted material within the intestine, are disclosed. Methods of treatment using the compositions are also disclosed. The material to be eliminated can include residual active antibiotics, metabolites, bacterial or other toxins, and drugs which cause side effects in the gastrointestinal tract. The adsorbents can be formulated in capsules, tablets or any acceptable pharmaceutical composition, and are ideally designed to specifically release the adsorbents in a programmed manner at a specific site of the intestinal tract. The programmed delivery prevents adsorbents from interfering with the normal absorption process of a given molecule after oral absorption, until it reaches the lower part of the small intestine. The compositions can be used to adsorb, and therefore remove, any residual drug, metabolite thereof, or bacterial toxin after oral or parenteral administration which would otherwise cause adverse effects in the lower intestine and/or colon.
In addition to the ONS these patients will receive 4 gram per day of BCAAs mixture. Ratio between the BCAAs will be Leucine/Isoleucine/Valine=2:1:1.
Two Sprays Per Nostril Twice Daily 

The efficacy and safety of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray were evaluated in three placebo-controlled clinical trials of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray including 322 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis who received two sprays per nostril twice a day for up to 4 weeks. These trials included 55 pediatric patients ages 12 to 16 years. Assessment of efficacy was based on the 12-hour reflective Total Symptom Complex (TSC) and Major Symptom Complex (MSC). The MSC was calculated as the average of individual symptoms of nose blows, sneezes, runny nose/sniffles, itchy nose, and watery eyes as assessed by patients on a 0 to 5 categorical scale. Azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray two sprays per nostril twice daily demonstrated a greater decrease in the MSC than placebo (Table 3). 

In dose-ranging trials, administration of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray two sprays per nostril twice daily resulted in a statistically significant decrease in symptoms compared to saline placebo within 3 hours after initial dosing and persisted over the 12-hour dosing interval.

One Spray Per Nostril Twice Daily 

The efficacy and safety of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray were evaluated in two placebo-controlled clinical trials of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray including 275 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis who received one spray per nostril twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Assessment of efficacy was based on the 12 hour reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score [rTNSS]. rTNSS is calculated as the sum of the patients scoring of four individual nasal symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, and nasal congestion) as assessed by patients on a 0 to 3 categorical scale. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from Baseline to Day 14 in rTNSS. The mean change from baseline in rTNSS was greater in patients receiving azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray one spray per nostril twice daily than those receiving placebo (Table 4).

Two-week studies comparing the efficacy (and safety) of azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray two sprays per nostril twice daily versus one spray per nostril twice daily were not conducted.

PURPOSE: Establishing accurate age-related penetrance figures for the broad range of cancer types that occur in individuals harboring a pathogenic germline variant in the TP53 gene is essential to determine the most effective clinical management strategies. These figures also permit optimal use of cosegregation data for classification of TP53 variants of unknown significance. Penetrance estimation can easily be affected by bias from ascertainment criteria, an issue not commonly addressed by previous studies.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a maximum likelihood penetrance estimation using full pedigree data from a multicenter study of 146 TP53-positive families, incorporating adjustment for the effect of ascertainment and population-specific background cancer risks. The analysis included pedigrees from Australia, Spain, and United States, with phenotypic information for 4,028 individuals.
RESULTS: Core Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) cancers (breast cancer, adrenocortical carcinoma, brain cancer, osteosarcoma, and soft tissue sarcoma) had the highest hazard ratios of all cancers analyzed in this study. The analysis also detected a significantly increased lifetime risk for a range of cancers not previously formally associated with TP53 pathogenic variant status, including colorectal, gastric, lung, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers. The cumulative risk of any cancer type by age 50 years was 92.4% (95% CI, 82.2 to 98.3) for females and 59.7% (95% CI, 39.9 to 81.3) for males. Females had a 63.3% (95% CI, 35.6 to 90.1) cumulative risk of developing breast cancer by age 50 years.
CONCLUSION: The results from maximum likelihood analysis confirm the known high lifetime risk for the core LFS-associated cancer types providing new risk estimates and indicate significantly increased lifetime risks for several additional cancer types. Accurate cancer risk estimates will help refine clinical recommendations for TP53 pathogenic variant carriers and improve TP53 variant classification.

Current medical and surgical approaches to Parkinson's disease (PD) are expensive and associated with a variety of side effects that may compromise the patient's quality of life. Development of a non-drug, non-surgical therapeutic approach to improve motor function would provide an attractive adjunct to current PD treatment approaches. Promising results from animal exercise studies have not been translated to patients with PD.

Animal studies suggest forced-exercise produces an endogenous increase in neurotrophic factors. An increase in these factors is believed to improve the capacity of dopamine neurons to deliver dopamine and selectively increase dopamine levels within the dorsolateral striatum. Models of PD provide a theoretical framework for forced-exercise and explain why voluntary exercise is not associated with global improvements in motor function for PD patients. Based on model predictions, decreased motor cortical activation limits PD patients' ability to perform voluntary exercise at the relatively high rate used in animal studies that demonstrate a therapeutic benefit. Therefore, PD patients may not be able to exercise (voluntarily) at sufficiently high rates to trigger the endogenous release of neurotrophic factors thought to underlie global improvements in motor functioning. A safe lower extremity forced-exercise paradigm that augments PD patients voluntary exercise rates has been developed for humans in an ongoing R21 project. Similar to our initial study, PD patients completing an 8-week forced-exercise intervention exhibited nearly a 25% percent improvement in clinical motor ratings, patients completing a voluntary exercise intervention showed no improvement in clinical ratings. Our recent fMRI data indicate that an acute bout of forced-exercise in PD patients produces a similar subcortical and cortical activation pattern as is seen following administration of levodopa. Global improvements in motor function and increased neural activity suggest forced-exercise may be altering brain function in PD patients. The goal of this project is to determine and compare the effects of forced versus voluntary exercise on PD motor and non-motor function and associated changes in the pattern of neural activity.

A single-center, parallel-group, rater-blind, study in a 2:2:1 randomization is proposed. A total of 100 mild to moderate idiopathic PD patients will be randomized to a voluntary, forced or no-exercise control group. Exercise groups will exercise at identical aerobic intensities, however those in the forced group will be provided mechanical assistance to perform exercise 35% faster than their voluntary exercise rate.
