A method for depositing films of a fluorinated compound is disclosed, wherein a reactive sputtering process allows the use of a metal or other non-fluorinated material as the target material. The process developed also utilizes XeF2 as a vapor source, which provides fluorine for the formation of the fluorinated compound. Unlike reactive process gases, such as SF4 and CF4, used in previous experiments attempting reactive sputtering of fluoride compounds, the XeF2 vapor does not result in unwanted contamination due to a reactive gas cation, i.e., inclusions of carbon or sulfur. These, and other considerations, have allowed the development of a process for fabricating dense, optical quality fluoride films. At the same time, the material costs and handling expenses related to the XeF2 source are also relatively low. The method described is ideally suited for the deposition of metal fluoride compounds for use in anti-reflection coatings, UV optical coatings, as well as various applications in the semiconductor, optoelectronics, and other industries.

Objective: This investigation sought to delineate the associations among colorectal adenomatous polyps, diabetes, and biomolecules involved in glucose metabolism. Method: Data were collected from 40 patients who underwent endoscopic polypectomy at the Endoscopy Department of Shandong Cancer Hospital between June 2019 and September 2021. This cohort included 27 patients with inflammatory polyps and 13 with adenomatous polyps. We assessed fasting insulin (Fins), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and the mRNA expressions of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the polyp tissues. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to ascertain the determinants influencing the emergence of adenomatous polyps. From these analyses, a predictive nomogram was constructed to forecast the occurrence of adenomatous polyps, and evaluations on the discriminative capacity, calibration, and clinical utility of the model were conducted. Results: The adenomatous polyp group exhibited markedly elevated levels of glucose, insulin, FGF-19, and IGF-1, with respective concentrations of (8.67±2.70) mmol/L, (12.72±7.69) μU/L, 2.20±1.88, and 1.36±0.69. These figures were significantly higher compared to the inflammatory polyp group, which showed levels of (5.51±0.72) mmol/L, (5.49±2.68) μU/L, 0.53±0.97, and 0.41±0.46, respectively, P=0.001. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the relative expression of IGF-1 served as an independent risk factor for the development of colorectal adenomatous polyps (OR=5.622, 95% CI:1.085-29.126). The nomogram displayed a C-index of 0.849, indicating substantial discriminative capability. The calibration curve affirmed the model's accuracy in aligning predicted probabilities with actual outcomes, and the clinical decision curve demonstrated thepractical clinical applicability of the model. Conclusions: There was a significant correlation between the occurrence of colorectal adenomatous polyps and glucose metabolic pathways. Individuals with diabetes showed a higher propensity to develop such polyps.

BACKGROUND: Surgical site infection (SSI)/periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication in limb salvage surgery with endoprosthesis reconstruction for malignant bone tumors. The main bottleneck for data collection and analysis for the status of SSI/PJI in tumor endoprosthesis is the low absolute case numbers of this rare cancer. The accumulation of many cases is possible by administrating nationwide registry data.
METHODS: The data on malignant bone tumor resection with tumor endoprosthesis reconstruction were extracted from the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Registry in Japan. The primary endpoint was defined as the need for additional surgical intervention for infection control. The incidence of postoperative infection and its risk factors were analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 1342 cases were included. The incidence of SSI/PJI was 8.2%. The incidence of SSI/PJI in the proximal femur, distal femur, proximal tibia, and pelvis were 4.9%, 7.4%, 12.6%, and 41.2%, respectively. Location in the pelvis or proximal tibia, tumor grade, indication of myocutaneous flaps, and delayed wound healing proved to be independent risks for SSI/PJI, whereas age, sex, previous surgery, tumor size, surgical margin, application of chemotherapy and radiotherapy were not significant.
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence was equal to those in previous studies. The result reconfirmed the high incidence of SSI/PJI in pelvis and proximal tibia cases and cases with delayed wound healing. Novel risk factors such as tumor grade and application of myocutaneous flaps were marked. The administration of nationwide registry data was informative for the analysis of SSI/PJI in tumor endoprosthesis.
Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic illness and generally requires life-long treatment. To date however, no physical therapy has been evaluated in the maintenance treatment of schizoaffective disorder. This is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor patient knows the name of the assigned drug), medication-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS), as monotherapy or as an adjunct to antipsychotic, relative to antipsychotic drugs in delaying the time to relapse in patients with schizoaffective disorder. Patients with acute symptoms of schizoaffective disorder will be enrolled. The study will consist of 4 periods: an up to 7 days screening/tolerability period, a 6-week open-label flexible dose lead-in period, a 6-week open-label fixed dose stabilization period, and a 12 months double-blind relapse prevention period. Patients without previous exposure to rTMS will be given 4 to 6 days of rTMS for tolerability testing. Patients can continue their current antipsychotic drugs through Day-1 (the day before the start of the study period). During the open-label periods, all patients will be treated with Risperidone. Patients who meet pre-determined stabilization criteria will be eligible to enter the double-blind relapse prevention period and will be randomly assigned to either receive rTMS or rTMS+Risperidone treatment. Efficacy will be evaluated during the study using a relapse assessment(time between subject randomization to treatment and the first occurrence of a relapse during the Relapse Prevention Period). Secondary Outcome Measures:Secondary Outcome Measures: Symptom change as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total and PANSS factor scores; Illness severity change as measured by Clinical Global Impression of Severity for depression(CGI-S-DEP); Change in subject functioning using the Personal and Social Performance Scale; Change in subject medication satisfaction using the Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). Safety will be assessed throughout the study by monitoring of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital sign measurements (temperature, pulse, and blood pressure), and weight. A 10 milliliter pharmacogenomic blood sample (sample for DNA research) will be collected from patients who give separate written informed consent for this part of the study.
Materials and Methods Study design: Randomised control trial. Setting: Pediatric burn unit Mayo hospital Lahore Duration: 1st October 2019 to 30th September 2020. Data collection procedure: All the patients were managed with intravenous fluids, antibiotics, antipyretics and hydrocolloid dressing as per ward routine management protocol along with prophylactic acyclovir and placebo. On the zero day of admission, after parents provided informed consent, patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups using a computer-generated table. Group A patients were given intra venous acyclovir divided into three doses for 7 to 14 days during their stay. Group B patients were given 15% intravenous Hypertonic sodium chloride divided into three doses as placebo for 7 to 14 days, so that parents could be blinded to group allocation. Patients were observed for developing signs of eczema Herpeticum and Tzanck smear was done every 10th day and first follow up at outpatient department after 7days of discharge.
INTRODUCTION: Pain is a significant healthcare challenge, impacting millions worldwide. Pharmacists have increasingly taken on expanded roles in managing pain, particularly in primary and ambulatory care contexts. This umbrella review aims to systematically evaluate evidence from published systematic reviews that explore the impact of pharmacist-delivered interventions on clinical, humanistic, and economic outcomes related to pain.
METHODS: A systematic search was conducted across six electronic databases, including Ovid Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, CENTRAL, APA PsycINFO, and DARE, from inception until June 2023. Prior to inclusion, two independent reviewers assessed study titles and abstracts. Following inclusion, an assessment of the methodological quality of the included studies was conducted. AMSTAR 2 was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included SRs.
RESULTS: From 2055 retrieved titles, 11 systematic reviews were included, with 5 out of 11 being meta-analyses. These SRs encompassed diverse pharmacist-led interventions such as education, medication reviews, and multi-component strategies targeting various facets of pain management. These findings showed favorable clinical outcomes, including reduced pain intensity, improved medication management, enhanced overall physical and mental well-being, and reduced hospitalization durations. Significant pain intensity reductions were found due to pharmacists' interventions, with standardized mean differences (SMDs) ranging from -0.76 to -0.22 across different studies and subgroups. Physical functioning improvements were observed, with SMDs ranging from -0.38 to 1.03. Positive humanistic outcomes were also reported, such as increased healthcare provider confidence, patient satisfaction, and quality of life (QoL). QoL improvements were reported, with SMDs ranging from 0.29 to 1.03. Three systematic reviews examined pharmacist interventions' impact on pain-related economic outcomes, highlighting varying cost implications and the need for robust research methodologies to capture costs and benefits.
CONCLUSION: This umbrella review highlights the effectiveness of pharmacist-delivered interventions in improving clinical, humanistic, and economic outcomes related to pain management. Existing evidence emphasises on the need to integrate pharamacists into multi-disciplinary pain management teams. Further research is needed to investigate innovative care models, such as pharmacist-independent prescribing initiatives within collaborative pain management clinics.
Patients will be enrolled in the study when they are selected to initiate vedolizumab therapy. Vedolizumab is an intravenous infusion given at increasing intervals. The first infusion of vedolizumab will be considered baseline. Patients may be enrolled at baseline or at colonoscopy prior to the first scheduled infusion of vedolizumab (pre-treatment visit). The standard induction protocol for vedolizumab consists of infusions at week 0 (baseline), week 2, and week 6. Vedolizumab, as per standard-of-care, is then continued at an interval of every 8 weeks following induction therapy. Vedolizumab treatment will be prescribed as per standard practice and will be prescribed regardless of participation in this study. Patients will not receive medication for the sole purpose of this research. Treatment decisions including timing of wash out period between anti-TNf and vedolizumab will be made by the subject's physician and not per the research protocol. There will not be a protocolized washout period for patients previously receiving anti-TNF therapy because treatment will be standard of care and per the directing physician.

Standard of care laboratory tests will be performed by the clinical laboratory at Mount Sinai Hospital. All other measurements will be completed at Prometheus Therapeutics \& Diagnostics in San Diego, California or at a Takeda identified lab for vedolizumab concentrations and antibodies.
Argatroban is a synthetic direct thrombin inhibitor and the chemical name is 1-[5-[(aminoiminomethyl)amino] 1-oxo-2-[[(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-methyl-8-quinolinyl)sulfonyl]amino]pentyl]-4-methyl-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid, monohydrate. Argatroban has 4 asymmetric carbons. One of the asymmetric carbons has an R configuration (stereoisomer Type I) and an S configuration (stereoisomer Type II). Argatroban consists of a mixture of R and S stereoisomers at a ratio of approximately 65:35.

Primary biliary cholangitis is a chronic, progressive liver disease of autoimmune origin characterized by nonpurulent destruction of intrahepatic ductule, lymphatic infiltration of portal area and long-term intrahepatic cholestasis leading to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in absence of treatment. The diagnosis is made in the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) coupled with an increase in alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a histologic confirmation being mandatory only in seronegative cases or overlap syndrome. Treatment is based on ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and obeticholic acid, which are proved effective in improving biochemical index and preventing disease progression. While obeticholic acid is only approved in USA and Canada, UDCA seem to be the only choice for PBC patients in China. Study has shown that liver function improvement can be expected in six to nine months when patients receive standard dosage( 13 -15mg/kg/d) of UDCA. Recovery of liver function takes two years in 20% of patients ,and five years in 15% to 35% of patients. Lifetime medication is recommended among patients with good respond to UDCA, while the high cost has placed great burden on patients as well as the medical service system. Exploration of the reducing medication regimen of UDCA among stable PBC patients is of great significance under this circumstance. In our study, the 90 recruited patients of refractory PBC will be distributed randomly into two experimental groups and one control group. The two experimental groups will receive reduced dosage of UDCA at 250mg bid and 250mg qd respectively, while the control group will receive standard dosage of UDCA. The effect of therapy will be evaluated every three months, which includes assessment of symptoms, life quality, disease progression, complete blood count, urinalysis, liver biochemical markers (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, TBIL, DBIL, TP, ALB), blood lipid (CHO, TG, LDL, HDL), immunoglobulins, ESR, AMA, liver morphology and cirrhosis degree, along with peripheral T lymphocyte subpopulations and cytokines test.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a novel emerging type of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that performs key functions in multiple biological processes. However, little is known about the roles of lncRNA under hypoxia stress in fish. Here, vascular endothelial growth factor-Aa (vegfaa) was cloned in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), with the complete cDNA sequence of 2914 bp, encoding 218 amino acids. The molecular weight of the protein was approximately 25.33 kDa, and contained PDGF and VEGF_C domains. Time-course and spatial expression patterns revealed that LOC110520012 was a key regulator of rainbow trout in response to hypoxia stress, and LOC110520012, miR-206-y and vegfaa exhibited a ceRNA regulatory relationship in liver, gill, muscle and rainbow trout liver cells treated with acute hypoxia. Subsequently, the targeting relationship of LOC110520012 and vegfaa with miR-206-y was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter analysis, and overexpression of LOC110520012 mediated the inhibition of miR-206-y expression in rainbow trout liver cells, while the opposite results were obtained after LOC110520012 silencing with siRNA. We also proved that vegfaa was a target of miR-206-y in vitro and in vivo, and the vegfaa expression and anti-proliferative effect on rainbow trout liver cells regulated by miR-206-y mimics could be reversed by LOC110520012. These results suggested that LOC110520012 can positively regulate vegfaa expression by sponging miR-206-y under hypoxia stress in rainbow trout, which facilitate in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms of fish adaptation and tolerance to hypoxia.

The frequencies and lengths of drought periods are increasing in subtropical and temperate regions worldwide. Epigenetic responses to water stress could be key for plant resilience to these largely unpredictable challenges. Experimental DNA demethylation, together with application of a stress factor is an appropriate strategy to reveal the contribution of epigenetics to plant responses to stress. We analysed leaf cytosine methylation changes in adult plants of the annual Mediterranean herb, Erodium cicutarium, in a greenhouse, after seed demethylation with 5-Azacytidine and/or recurrent water stress. We used bisulfite RADseq (BsRADseq) and a newly reported reference genome for E. cicutarium to characterize methylation changes in a 2 × 2 factorial design, controlling for plant relatedness. In the long term, 5-Azacytidine treatment alone caused both hypo- and hyper-methylation at individual cytosines, with substantial hypomethylation in CG contexts. In control conditions, drought resulted in a decrease in methylation in all but CHH contexts. In contrast, the genome of plants that experienced recurrent water stress and had been treated with 5-Azacytidine increased DNA methylation level by ca. 5%. Seed demethylation and recurrent drought produced a highly significant interaction in terms of global and context-specific cytosine methylation. Most methylation changes occurred around genic regions and within Transposable Elements. The annotation of these Differentially Methylated Regions associated with genes included several with a potential role in stress responses (e.g., PAL, CDKC, and ABCF), confirming an epigenetic contribution in response to stress at the molecular level.
