The invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composite preparation for effectively controlling the fur animal viral diseases. The preparation is composed of the following nine traditional Chinese herbals by weight: 20 to 24 grams of radix astragali, 5 to 12 grams of white peony root, 10 to 12 grams of Chinese angelica, 8 to 12 grams of bighead atractylodes rhizome, 5 to 12 grams of poria cocos, 3 to 6 grams of cassia twig, 1 to 3 grams of Sichuan pepper, 8 to 10 grams of saposhnicovia divaricata, and 6 to 9 grams of licorice. The preparation method of the composite preparation comprises the following steps: selecting roots, stalks, and seeds of pure natural high-quality traditional Chinese herbals, individually grinding the selected traditional Chinese herbals by a traditional Chinese herbal grinder under a clean and dry condition, sieving the grinded traditional Chinese herbals by a 100-mesh sieve, and finally evenly mixing the processed traditional Chinese herbals according to the weight ratio mentioned above. The composite preparation can be used along with feed, and can also be orally taken after being decocted with water. The composite preparation has the advantages of user-friendliness, stable curative effect, no side or toxic effect, and no drug residue. The composite preparation is mainly used to prevent and treat viral diseases (canine distemper, viral enteritis, etc.) of fur animals such as mink, fox, racoon dog, and the like, and has a high practical and promotion value.
The purpose of gene transfer of SERCA2a is to improve systolic and diastolic function of the failing ventricle. Studies show that reduction of SERCA2a in failing ventricle is a key factor in depression of contraction, and that restoration of SERCA2a levels can improve left ventricular function and remodeling. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of an adeno-associated viral vector expressing the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA2a), driven by the CMV promoter (AAV1-CMV-SERCA2a), on the ventricular remodeling of patients with severe heart failure using multimodality cardiac imaging. This is a Phase 2 monocenter double blind randomized placebo-controled, parallel study. The study will enroll 44 symptomatic heart failure patients with NYHA IIIb/IV, with left-ventricular ejection fraction of 35% or less receiving an optimal standard medical therapy. The absence of neutralizing antibodies against AAV1 will be primarily checked. Seronegative patients will be randomized to receive either 1x10e13 AAV1-CMV-Serca2a or a placebo as a single intracoronary infusion. Evolution during the next 6 months of the left ventricular end-systolic volume (measured with a 256-slices CT-scan before injection and 6 months later) will be the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints will include changes in the LVEF, diastolic volumes, VO2max, Echocardiographic remodeling, BNP, cardiac hemodynamics and biological safety profile.
The present invention provides the human organism with an enhanced performance based on 100% natural seeds. The advantages provided by said natural alternative to the patient suffering cancer are substantially satisfactory, since said tablets or capsules are produced with a natural plant commonly known as caobo and scientifically known as Swietenia macrophylla kind, which grows in winter time from November to January, the perfect time for harvesting the fruit and obtaining the seeds therefrom, which are basic for producing the aforementioned capsules or tablets. Said tablets do not contain any chemical compound so that the patient may consume the same under a treatment, since the tablets have no internal or external side effects in the organism. The tablets are intended to treat any type of cancer and may be applied to children, adults and elders regardless the degree of development of the disease. The tablets further have the advantage of helping the organism to produce red globules and increasing the patient's weight. This natural alternative has helped many people to live a better life by following the prescribed treatment.
Antiretroviral regimens, particularly those containing PIs, often cause hyperlipidemia, which is an increase in the amount of fat (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood. These increases can lead to heart disease and pancreatitis. Although the mechanism by which PIs cause hyperlipidemia is not clearly understood, there are medications to combat this side effect. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of escalating doses of atorvastatin, based on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, in HIV-infected children receiving stable antiretroviral therapy.

Participants were assigned to one of two groups based on age (10 to 14 years or 15 to 23 years) and were treated for a maximum of 48 weeks. The first six participants enrolled in the study were in the 15 to 23 year old age group. Once safety data through week 8 on these 6 participants was analyzed, the remaining participants were enrolled. All participants received atorvastatin in combination with a stable antiretroviral regimen. Each participant was followed independently according to a dose escalation algorithm for atorvastatin. Participants began dosing at 10 mg daily. If efficacy criteria were not met, dosing increased to 20 mg daily at week 8. Since dose escalations were done within subject, safety and efficacy rates were presented for the dose-escalation strategy overall and not for individual doses. Atorvastatin was provided by the study, but antiretrovirals were not.

Study visits occurred at study entry and weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48. Safety labs were collected at all study visits. Blood collection for lipid measurements occurred at weeks 4, 12, 24 and 48.
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially fatal inherited pharmacogenetic disorder related to pathogenic variants in the RYR1, CACNA1S, or STAC3 genes. Early recognition of the occurrence of MH and prompt medical treatment are indispensable to ensure a positive outcome. The purpose of this study was to provide valuable information for the early identification of MH by summarizing epidemiological and clinical features of MH. This scoping review followed the methodological framework recommended by Arksey and O'Malley. PubMed, Embase, and Web of science databases were searched for studies that evaluated the epidemical and clinical characteristics of MH. A total of 37 studies were included in this review, of which 26 were related to epidemiology and 24 were associated with clinical characteristics. The morbidity of MH varied from 0.18 per 100 000 to 3.9 per 100 000. The mortality was within the range of 0%-18.2%. Identified risk factors included sex, age, disorders associated with MH, and others. The most frequent initial clinical signs included hyperthermia, sinus tachycardia, and hypercarbia. The occurrence of certain signs, such as hypercapnia, delayed first temperature measurement, and peak temperature were associated with poor outcomes. The epidemiological and clinical features of MH varied considerably and some risk factors and typical clinical signs were identified. The main limitation of this review is that the treatment and management strategies were not assessed sufficiently due to limited information.
Ceftozolane/tazobactam (C/T) is a combination antibiotic with a new cephalosporin, structurally similar to ceftazidime, plus tazobactam. The FDA approved This known beta-lactamase inhibitor in 2018 to treat intra-abdominal and complicated urinary infections. In 2019, its indication was expanded to nosocomial pneumonia and those associated with mechanical ventilation. In Mexico, it was approved for marketing in June 2019. C/T has broad-spectrum activity since it has action against ESBL-producing Enterobacteria and MDR P. aeruginosa. Studies carried out in the real world using this antibiotic in patients with hematological malignancies have demonstrated clinical success in reports and case series, considered a therapeutic option in patients with Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa infections, particularly in MDR pathogens.
The invention discloses a compound with bimodule imaging and synergy therapy functions and a preparing method thereof. Due to the adjustability of hydrotalcite laminate elements, the compound has the characteristics of a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent by introducing the paramagnetic matter Gd element. By means of the two-dimensional laminated structure of hydrotalcite, the photodynamic reagent zinc phthalocyanine, the photo-thermal reagent indocyanine green and targeting molecule folic acid are inserted into layers of hydrotalcite through co-intercalation. Accumulation of zinc phthalocyanine and indocyanine green is restrained by means of the carrier confinement of a hydrotalcite laminate, photobleaching is prevented, the stability of a photosensitizer is improved, and photodynamic treatment and photo-thermal treatment effects are improved. By means of folic acid molecules introduced through co-intercalation, the compound can be better absorbed by cells, and then treatment effect is improved. Furthermore, indocyanine green molecules emit red fluorescent light, so that the compound has the bimodule imaging function.
PURPOSE: To investigate whether or not intermittent hypoxia (IH), the main characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may affect the myofibroblast differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) production of lung fibroblast through the HIF-1α-TGF-β/Smad pathway and assess the interventional role of a HIF-1α inhibitor, 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME2).
METHOD: The human lung fibroblast MRC5 cells were exposed to normoxia or IH conditions, and the expression of myofibroblast differentiation marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and ECM protein collagen I were evaluated. To clarify the underlying mechanism, the expression level of HIF-1α, TGF-β, and p-Smads/Smads were measured and the effects of inhibiting HIF-1α with 2-ME2 on the α-SMA expression level and ECM production through the TGF-β/Smad pathway were assessed. Si HIF-1α was applied to genetically inhibit HIF-1α in MRC5 cells, and the related proteins were assessed.
RESULTS: IH increased the protein and mRNA expression of Collagen I and α-SMA of MRC5 cells in a time-dependent manner. IH activated the protein and mRNA level of HIF-1α and TGF-β and increased the phosphorylation of Smad2/Smad3 of MRC5 cells in a time-dependent manner. 2-ME2 inhibited the activation of HIF-1α induced by IH and decreased overexpression of TGF-β, p-Smad2/Smad2, and p-Smad3/Smad3, which in turn partially reversed the upregulation of α-SMA and Collagen I induced by IH in MRC5 cells. When HIF-1α was successfully silenced by si-HIF-1α, upregulation of TGF-β induced by intermittent hypoxia was partially decreased.
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that IH contributes to myofibroblast differentiation and excessive ECM production of MRC5 cells through activation of the HIF-1α-TGF-β/Smad pathway. 2-ME2 partially attenuated myofibroblast differentiation induced by IH by inhibiting the HIF-1α-TGF-β/Smad pathway.
Congestive heart failure affects 2.3% of the population (approximately 4,900,000) with an incidence of 10 per 1,000 of the population after the age of 65 (1). The admission rate for patients with heart failure is on the rise, so is the mortality associated with it and its national annual bill, now exceeding $21 billion (1). Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is present in 11-37% of patients with heart failure (2,3), and tends to increase in severity when the heart failure is less controlled (4, 5). Therefore, the actual prevalence of OSA in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure is likely higher. There is now evidence that treatment of OSA with nasal Continuous Positive Pressure (nCPAP) in outpatients with stable heart failure improves left ventricular ejection fraction, and quality of life (6), and confers a reduction in fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events (7). However, there has not been any evaluation of the role of diagnosis and treatment of OSA in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure. This uncertainty about the true prevalence and role of OSA in exacerbations of heart failure, and the role of its treatment in the acute setting may explain why aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for OSA in patients admitted to the hospital with acute heart failure is not part of the standard clinical practice in acute care centers. Given the rising admission rate, and mortality associated with heart failure, an evaluation of the role of OSA and its treatment in this patient population is highly significant.

The significance of this question resides mainly in the best approach to diagnosis and treatment of SDB in this high risk and vulnerable population. Should every patient wit heart failure undergo a polysomnography to diagnose a highly likely underlying SDB, and trigger appropriate treatment? The cost of polysomnography and the access to sleep laboratory makes it almost prohibitive to pursue such an approach. An approach that combines evaluation of risk factors and an abbreviated portable study may be adequate and certainly less expensive. Our OSU- Sleep Heart program was established to deliver expedient diagnosis and treatment of SDB to patients with heart failure. In the published literature, there are not adequate data to guide the delivery of Sleep services in this patient population. Our program aims at targeting every heart failure patient with validated questionnaires and screening ambulatory sleep studies. The sensitivity and specificity of such a surveillance approach will need to be evaluated against the reference standard, the polysomnography. Therefore this protocol aims to evaluate the negative and positive predictive value of our clinical program.
A non-invasive dental or surgical monitoring system is disclosed. The monitoring system is comprised generally of dental or surgical equipment to be monitored, a main sensor unit, a set of sensors. The main sensor unit is in communication with various sensors removably attached to the equipment. The sensors monitor environment conditions related to the equipment rather than directly monitoring the equipment. The collected data is sent to the main sensor unit and can be accessed, or wirelessly transmitted by signal to a device or devices at another location. As collected data aggregates, a data profile can be created, machine learning can be used to discover patterns, and predictive analysis can be incorporated to help software make predictions of, or spot in real time, equipment problems based on deviations from the profile.
The present invention relates to therapy and the use of agents in the therapy of cachexia and wasting syndromes due to diseases other than congestive heart failure. Cachexia occurs in a number of other chronic diseases, like liver cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic renal failure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis. Cachexia and weight loss are linked to inflammatory processes and they are linked to increased mortality and/or morbidity. Cytokine activation is a potential causal mechanism for the development of cachexia also in these other diseases. The invention describes a method of treating or ameliorating body wasting or cachexia in a patient with liver cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic renal failure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis in a patient. The method comprises administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound that is able to reduce the production, absorption and/or the effect of an endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS). The invention describes also a method of treating, preventing or ameliorating endotoxin-mediated immune activation in body wasting or cachexia in a patient with liver cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic renal failure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis. The method comprises administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound that is able to reduce the production, absorption and/or the effect of an endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide; LPS).
The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is an immune receptor that affects cellular phenotypes by modulating phagocytosis and metabolism, promoting cell survival, and counteracting inflammation. Its role in renal injury, in particular, unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) or ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced renal injury remains unclear. In our study, WT and Trem2-/- mice were employed to evaluate the role of TREM2 in renal macrophage infiltration and tissue injury after UUO. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from both mouse genotypes were cultured and polarized for in vitro experiments. Next, the effects of TREM2 on renal injury and macrophage polarization in IRI mice were also explored. We found that TREM2 expression was upregulated in the obstructed kidneys. TREM2 deficiency exacerbated renal inflammation and fibrosis 3 and 7 days after UUO, in association with reduced macrophage infiltration. Trem2-/- BMDM exhibited increased apoptosis and poorer survival compared with WT BMDM. Meanwhile, TREM2 deficiency augmented M1 and M2 polarization after UUO. Consistent with the in vivo observations, TREM2 deficiency led to increased polarization of BMDM towards the M1 proinflammatory phenotype. Mechanistically, TREM2 deficiency promoted M1 and M2 polarization via the JAK-STAT pathway in the presence of TGF-β1, thereby affecting cell survival by regulating mTOR signaling. Furthermore, cyclocreatine supplementation alleviated cell death caused by TREM2 deficiency. Additionally, we found that TREM2 deficiency promoted renal injury, fibrosis, and macrophage polarization in IRI mice. The current data suggest that TREM2 deficiency aggravates renal injury by promoting macrophage apoptosis and polarization via the JAK-STAT pathway. These findings have implications for the role of TREM2 in the regulation of renal injury that justify further evaluation.

###  Verapamil Component

Elevations of transaminases with and without concomitant elevations in alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin have been reported. Such elevations have sometimes been transient and may disappear even in the face of continued verapamil treatment. Several cases of hepatocellular injury related to verapamil have been proven by rechallenge; half of these had clinical symptoms (malaise, fever, and/or right upper quadrant pain) in addition to elevations of SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase.

###  Trandolapril Component

ACE inhibitors rarely have been associated with a syndrome of cholestatic jaundice, fulminant hepatic necrosis, and death. The mechanism of this syndrome is not understood. Patients receiving ACE inhibitors who develop jaundice should discontinue the ACE inhibitor and receive appropriate medical follow-up.

Liver abnormalities were noted in 3.2% of patients taking any of several combinations of trandolapril/verapamil doses. Periodic monitoring of liver function in patients taking trandolapril and verapamil hydrochloride extended-release tablets is therefore prudent.

This single arm, open-label, phase I clinical trial of xenogeneic CD20 DNA vaccination is designed to evaluate its safety in patients with B cell lymphoma. The study is a dose escalation study at three test doses, 0.5 mg, 2 mg and 4 mg of purified plasmid DNA per injection. There will be an initial cohort of three patients receiving a pre-level 1 dose of 0.1 mg/vaccination before proceeding to the three test doses.
The oral administration of antioxidants may suppress UV-B-induced skin damage. HITHION YH-15, the extract of Torula yeast (Cyberlindnera jadinii), is rich in cysteine-containing peptides such as reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH and GSSG), γ-glutamylcysteine (γ-Glu-Cys), and cysteinylglycine (Cys-Gly). These four constituents are termed cysteine peptides. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of cysteine peptides against UV-B in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study. A total of 90 healthy males and females aged 30-59 years were enrolled and randomized into two groups of 45 individuals each (cysteine peptides (48 mg/day) and placebo). Changes in UV-B-induced erythema and pigmentation were compared between groups after 5 weeks of test food intake. The minimal erythema dose (MED) significantly increased (*p = 0.019) in the cysteine peptides group compared to that in the placebo group, indicating suppression of UV-B-induced erythema. ΔL* value significantly increased (***p < 0.0001) in the cysteine peptides group compared to that in the placebo, indicating pigmentation suppression. We demonstrated that oral administration of cysteine peptides suppresses UV-B-induced erythema and pigmentation through multiple mechanisms. Thus, cysteine peptides may find use as nutricosmetics for maintaining skin health and well-being.UMIN Clinical Trials Registry ID: UMIN 000050157.
Background Sydney Sexual Health Centre (SSHC) is the largest sexual health clinic in New South Wales (NSW), servicing clients at high risk of sexually transmissible infections and bloodborne viruses. SSHC piloted a direct-to-pathology pathway that facilitated bloodborne virus/sexually transmissible infection testing at one of the ~500 participating pathology collection centres located across NSW. This qualitative study sought to understand SSHC client and provider perspectives of acceptability of the MyCheck intervention. Methods Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 clients who underwent testing via the MyCheck pathway and eight staff members involved in implementing MyCheck. The seven components of Sekhon's Theoretical Framework of Acceptability informed this analysis. Results Participants broadly conveyed 'affective attitude' toward the MyCheck pathway. The telehealth intervention reduced client 'burden' and 'opportunity cost' through enabling greater testing convenience at a location suitable to them and provided timely results. Issues of 'ethicality' were raised by clients and staff as pathology centre staff were, on a few occasions, regarded as being judgmental of SSHC clients. 'Intervention coherence' issues were largely attributed to pathology centre personnel being unfamiliar with the intervention, with billing issues being a recurrent concern. Participants perceived MyCheck as an 'effective' testing pathway. SSHC staff were able to offer the intervention with ease through seamless IT integration ('self-efficacy'). Conclusion The MyCheck intervention was perceived by both SSHC clients and staff as an acceptable bloodborne virus/sexually transmissible infection testing pathway. However, further work is required to address stigma experienced by some clients when attending pathology collection centres.
