Neurodegenerative disorders account for a high proportion of neurological diseases that significantly threaten public health worldwide. Various factors are involved in the pathophysiology of such diseases which can lead to neurodegeneration and neural damage. Furthermore, neuroinflammation is a well-known factor in predisposing factors of neurological and especially neurodegenerative disorders which can be strongly suppressed by "anti-inflammatory" actions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Stress has has also been identified as a risk factor in developing neurodegenerative disorders potentially leading to increased neuroinflammation in the brain and progressive loss in neuronal structures and impaired functions in the CNS. Recently, more studies have increasingly been focused on the role of neuroimmune system in regulating the neurobiology of stress. Emerging evidence indicate that exposure to chronic stress might alter the susceptibility to neurodegeneration via influencing the microglia function. Microglia is considered as the first responding group of cells in suppressing neuroinflammation, leading to an increased inflammatory cytokine signaling that promote the synaptic plasticity deficiencies, impairment in neurogenesis, and development of neurodegenerative disorders. In this review we discuss how exposure to chronic stress might alter the neuroimmune response potentially leading to progress of neurodegenerative disorders. We also emphasize on the role of BDNF in regulating the neuroimmune axis function and microglia modulation in neurodegenerative disorders.

Minipigs are valued alternatives to dogs and non-human primates in non-clinical safety and toxicity studies, and Göttingen minipigs are bred specifically for experimental purposes. They are bred under barrier conditions and monitored regularly for many pathogens and opportunistic agents, and spontaneous disease is rare when compared to what is seen in production pigs. Knowledge of spontaneous background lesions is important when toxicological pathologists evaluate microscopic findings in pre-clinical toxicity studies to avoid interference with study data interpretation. In this brief communication, intra-abdominal granulomas/abscesses were seen in Göttingen minipigs. The minipigs did not show any clinical signs, but nodules were present in the abdominal peritoneum at necropsy. Microscopic evaluation revealed chronic inflammation, with abscess or granuloma formation. Areas of inflammation, occasionally associated with the presence of the Splendore-Hoeppli material, were surrounded by a fibrotic capsule. Special stains were applied to investigate for the presence of microorganisms.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in patients undergoing distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC).
METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned to the ERAS group (EG) and the conventional care group (CG) by stratified randomization according to age and sex. The primary endpoint was adjusted postoperative hospital stay, calculated using discharge criteria developed to evaluate recovery. Nutritional data and quality of life (QoL) (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] C30 and STO22) during the perioperative period were also analyzed.
RESULTS: We enrolled 198 eligible patients with GC for the study between June 2017 and January 2019. A total of 147 patients were finally enrolled in this study (full analysis set) and were assigned to EG (n = 71) and CG (n = 76). First flatus was faster significantly in EG (3.6 ± 1.5 vs 4.1 ± 1.2 days, P = .019). EG showed a faster start of the sips and soft diet than CG (1.3 ± 0.7 vs 3.1 ± 0.4 days, P < .001; 2.4 ± 0.9 vs 5.2 ± 0.7 days, P < .001) according to the protocol. The recorded hospital stay was not significantly different; however, adjusted hospital stay was significantly shorter in EG than in CG (6.5 ± 3.1 vs 7.8 ± 2.1 days, P = .005). There was no difference in morbidity, and no mortality occurred in both groups. EG did not show significant superiority in nutritional outcome and QoL improvement, except for pain scale in EORTC-STO22.
CONCLUSION: The application of the ERAS protocol could reduce the adjusted hospital stay without an increase in postoperative complications. There was no significant difference in long-term nutritional outcome and QoL of the 2 groups.
One cycle of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1)/vinorelbine combination treatment is defined as 21-days (i.e. 3 weeks). Participants will receive the recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPSD) of Vinorelbine with the fixed dose (3.6 mg/kg) of Trastuzumab Emtansine. Participants will be treated until documented disease progression or other criteria for discontinuation. Up to 35 patients will be treated at the RP2D (MTD) including 6 patients treated at RP2D in phase I.
The efficacy of TIBSOVO was evaluated in an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial (Study AG120-C-001, NCT02074839) that included 28 adult patients with newly-diagnosed AML with an IDH1 mutation. IDH1 mutations were identified by a local or central diagnostic test and confirmed retrospectively using the Abbott RealTime™ IDH1 Assay. The cohort included patients who were age 75 years or older or who had comorbidities that precluded the use of intensive induction chemotherapy based on at least one of the following criteria: baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≥ 2, severe cardiac or pulmonary disease, hepatic impairment with bilirubin > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, or creatinine clearance < 45 mL/min. TIBSOVO was given orally at a starting dose of 500 mg daily until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, or undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Two (7%) of the 28 patients went on to stem cell transplantation following TIBSOVO treatment.

The baseline demographic and disease characteristics are shown in Table 6.

Efficacy was established on the basis of the rate of complete remission (CR) or complete remission with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), the duration of CR+CRh, and the rate of conversion from transfusion dependence to transfusion independence. The efficacy results are shown in Table 7. The median follow-up was 8.1 months (range, 0.6 to 40.9 months) and median treatment duration was 4.3 months (range, 0.3 to 40.9 months). 

For patients who achieved a CR or CRh, the median time to CR or CRh was 2.8 months (range, 1.9 to 12.9 months). Of the 12 patients who achieved a best response of CR or CRh, 11 (92%) achieved a first response of CR or CRh within 6 months of initiating TIBSOVO.

Among the 17 patients who were dependent on red blood cell (RBC) and/or platelet transfusions at baseline, 7 (41.2%) became independent of RBC and platelet transfusions during any 56-day post-baseline period. Of the 11 patients who were independent of both RBC and platelet transfusions at baseline, 6 (54.5%) remained transfusion independent during any 56-day post-baseline period.
Cohort 2 (two) will consist of 120 patients with an external rectal prolapse (Oxford Grade V)treated by Laparoscopic Resection Rectopexy (LRR). These patients will be included in the US centers involved in this study and treated by LRR.
Patients in this research are given an entry Bone Densitometry（DEXA）scan and are required to advance from 3-minute jogging a day to 10-minute level in daily practice for 1 year as instructed. After 1 year, subsequent DEXA scans are recorded. Interested participants are also encouraged to have hip and spine X-rays, and bone quality studies on study entry and two years later. Actual subject participation, intercurrent illnesses, fractures and changes in medication are self-monitored. Results are calculated by change in bone mineral density in the lumbar spine, hips and femurs by the DEXA scan in the study. Dose-response relationships between the amount of jogging and bone mineral density are sought. Jogging-related fractures and other adverse effects are also noted.
In this study, we will test the combination of atezolizumab with chemotherapy for relapsed solid tumors in childhood. The combination of vincristine, irinotecan, temozolomide, and atezolizumab has not been tested. Thus, the trial will have two sequential cohorts: (1) a feasibility cohort, and (2) a rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) efficacy cohort. In the first cohort, we will determine the feasibility of administering vincristine, irinotecan, temozolomide, and atezolizumab simultaneously in children with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, regardless of histology or PD-L1 status. We will accrue 6 patients and will determine that the therapy is feasible if no more than 2 patients develop a dose-limiting toxicity. Provided that we meet our primary safety endpoint in the feasibility cohort, we will next accrue patients in the RMS efficacy cohort. We will accrue 17 patients in the RMS efficacy cohort. Patients in the feasibility cohort with RMS will be included in this number.

We will determine the objective response rate, duration of response, and progression-free survival for all children with relapsed or refractory solid tumors treated with vincristine, irinotecan, temozolomide, and atezolizumab.
In patients with knee pain, the cartilage thickness measurement of the knee joint will be measured from 3 points by ultrasound. At the same time, Quadriceps and Hamstring muscle thickness measurements of the patients will be made from the midpoints where the muscle thickness is the highest.
Each participant will have one eye randomly selected to receive GS010 and the other eye will receive a sham injection. Eyes receiving sham injection will undergo the same preparatory procedures as eyes receiving GS010 injection, including pupillary dilation, topical anti-infection and topical anesthetic procedures. Sham intravitreal injection will be performed by applying pressure to the eye at the location of a typical intravitreal injection procedure using the blunt end of a syringe without a needle.
INTRODUCTION: To develop a predictive model incorporating stone volume along with other clinical and radiological factors to predict stone-free (SF) status at ureteroscopy (URS).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing URS for kidney stone disease at our institution from 2012 to 2021. SF status was defined as stone fragments < 2 mm at the end of the procedure confirmed endoscopically and no evidence of stone fragments > 2 mm at XR KUB or US KUB at 3 months follow up. We specifically included all non-SF patients to optimise our algorithm for identifying instances with residual stone burden. SF patients were also randomly sampled over the same time period to ensure a more balanced dataset for ML prediction. Stone volumes were measured using preprocedural CT and combined with 19 other clinical and radiological factors. A bagged trees machine learning model with cross-validation was used for this analysis.
RESULTS: 330 patients were included (SF: n = 276, not SF: n = 54, mean age 59.5 ± 16.1 years). A fivefold cross validated RUSboosted trees model has an accuracy of 74.5% and AUC of 0.82. The model sensitivity and specificity were 75% and 72.2% respectively. Variable importance analysis identified total stone volume (17.7% of total importance), operation time (14.3%), age (12.9%) and stone composition (10.9%) as important factors in predicting non-SF patients. Single and cumulative stone size which are commonly used in current practice to guide management, only represented 9.4% and 4.7% of total importance, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Machine learning can be used to predict patients that will be SF at the time of URS. Total stone volume appears to be more important than stone size in predicting SF status. Our findings could be used to optimise patient counselling and highlight an increasing role of stone volume to guide endourological practice and future guidelines.
A measurement system comprises a pulsed laser diode array that includes one or more Bragg reflectors, and wherein the light generated by the array penetrates tissue comprising skin. At least some of the wavelengths of light are in the near infrared. The detection system is synchronized to the laser diode array and comprises an infrared camera and a first receiver comprising a plurality of detectors. The first receiver comprises one or more detector arrays and performs a time-of-flight measurement. The measurement system generates an image, the detection system non-invasively measures blood in blood vessels within or below a dermis layer within the skin based at least in part on near-infrared diffuse reflection from the skin, and the detection system measures absorption of hemoglobin between 700 and 1300 nanometers wavelength range. A processor compares the absorption of hemoglobin between different tissue spatial locations, and the measurement system processes the time-of-flight measurement.
A canarypox-vectored vaccine (ALVAC) that expresses the gp160 antigen of the HIV-1 MN strain might satisfy many criteria for an affordable HIV vaccine. Per 12/22/93 amendment: Cellular responses have been augmented by the combination of two recombinant vaccines, especially in vaccinia naive individuals.

In Part A, 28 healthy volunteers (15 vaccinia-immune and 13 vaccinia-naive) are randomized to receive intramuscular injections of ALVAC gp160 MN at a dose of 1 million TCID50 or ALVAC rabies glycoprotein as a control at months 0 and 2. In Part B, 90 healthy volunteers (60 vaccinia immune and 30 vaccinia naive) are randomized to receive ALVAC gp160 MN at a dose of 10 million TCID50 or ALVAC rabies glycoprotein control, on an immunization schedule of either month 0 and 1 or 0 and 2. For Part B, half of the patients receiving ALVAC gp160 MN, as well as approximately half of those receiving control vaccine, will receive booster immunizations with SF-2 rgp120 subunit protein, if available, at months 9 and 12; the other half will receive booster immunizations with the same preparation as they received for their first two immunizations. In Part A, all control volunteers except one within each control group receive SF-2 rgp120 subunit protein at months 9 and 12. An additional group of 10 volunteers will receive four injections of SF-2 rgp120 subunit protein at months 0, 1, 6 and 12. Part B will begin whenever the higher dose of ALVAC gp160 MN becomes available (at least 4 weeks after initiation of Part A). Volunteers are followed for at least 18 months. Per 06/10/94 addendum, volunteers will be contacted once or twice per year for at least 5 years to check on health status.
Very few vertebrates survive without oxygen (anoxia) for more than a few minutes. Crucian carp (Carassius carassius) are one example, surviving months of anoxia at low temperatures, and we hypothesised that they maintain mitochondrial membrane potential and function. Isolated crucian carp cardiomyocytes indeed maintained mitochondrial membrane potential after blocking complex IV of the electron transport system with cyanide, while those of anoxia-intolerant trout depolarised. When complexes I-III were inhibited, crucian carp mitochondria depolarised, indicating that these complexes need to function during anoxia. Mitochondrial membrane potential depended on reversal of ATP synthase in chemical anoxia, as blocking with cyanide combined with oligomycin to inhibit ATP synthase led to depolarisation. ATP synthase activity was reduced in the heart after 1 week of anoxia in crucian carp, together with a downregulation of ATP synthase subunit gene expression. However, the morphology of cardiac mitochondria was not affected by 1 week of anoxia, even with a large increase in mitofusin 2 mRNA expression. Cardiac citrate synthase activity was not affected by anoxia, while cytochrome c oxidase activity was increased. We show how mitochondria respond to anoxia. A mechanistic understanding of how mitochondrial function can be maintained in anoxia may provide new perspectives to reduce mitochondrial damage in anoxia-sensitive organisms.
Currently, the opioid analgesic codeine is commonly administered to breastfeeding mothers after Caesarean section for pain relief. Codeine was originally considered safe to use while breastfeeding however, increased risk of adverse drug reactions has been demonstrated in mothers taking codeine, as well as their breastfed infants, when the mother possesses a genetic variation resulting in cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) ultra-rapid metabolizer (UM) phenotype. On average, most people convert about 10-15% of their codeine dose to morphine resulting in pain relief however, UM individuals can convert up to 50% of their codeine doses into active morphine. As many as 4% of North Americans may be UMs and these mothers and their breastfed infants are at high risk of serious adverse events despite "safe" codeine dosing due to morphine overproduction and accumulation in the mother and her breast milk. Observed side effects include severe sedation, decreased rate and depth of breathing and even infant death. In response to this problem, our hospital-based clinical trial strives to identify at-risk UM mother-infant pairs by performing a genetic test on non-invasive, voluntary saliva samples from mothers giving birth by Caesarean section and who will need codeine for pain relief while breastfeeding. We believe that this test will allow us to reliably identify at-risk UM mother-infant pairs and prevent adverse drug reactions in both by tailoring analgesic therapy to their genetic results: mothers identified as being UMs will be given other suitable analgesics, such as ibuprofen, in place of codeine-containing preparations. We propose that this prospective study will generate high-level data supporting the cost-effective genetic screening of mothers who will be taking codeine while breastfeeding before they begin taking their medications. Such testing is currently possible on a nation-wide scale through collaboration with the Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety (CPNDS).
Subjects will receive a first i.v. injection of satoreotide trizoxetan with a peptide mass dose range of 5 to 20 μg and a radioactivity dose range 100 to 140 MBq. After 15 to 21 days the subjects will receive a second i.v. injection of satoreotide trizoxetan with a peptide mass dose range of 30-45 μg and a radioactivity dose range 160 to 200 MBq.
Women older than 45 years of age and who have not had any menstruation for the past 12 months are considered as having entered menopause. These women are included in this group.
The paper summarizes the clinical experience of professor ZHANG Ren in the staging treatment with characteristic acupuncture techniques for oculomotor paralysis. According to the symptoms of oculomotor paralysis, the staging treatment is given, in which acupuncture is dominant and the needling techniques are optioned in compliance with the symptoms. In the early, middle and late stages of illness, three different acupuncture therapies are delivered accordingly, i.e. the combination of the point-toward-point needling at the four acupoints located on the forehead and the electroacupuncture with disperse-dense wave, the surrounding needling and the triple needling at the acupoints around the eyeball, as well as the perpendicular needle insertion at the three acupoints within the orbit. Professor ZHANG Ren lays the stress on identifying the etiology and differentiating the symptoms, as well as the early intervention for the disease. For the intractable cases, the comprehensive regimen such as acupoint injection, dermal needling and auricular point sticking is supplemented. During treatment, the spirit harmonization is greatly considered to ensure the effectiveness. On the basis of the staging acupuncture therapy, the acupuncture technique for harmonizing the spirit and regulating qi is combined to obtain the favorable clinical effect on oculomotor paralysis.
