Novel backbone cyclized peptide analogs are formed by means of bridging groups attached via the alpha nitrogens of amino acid derivatives to provide novel non-peptidic linkages. Novel building units disclosed are N α (ω-functionalized) amino acids constructed to include a spacer and a terminal functional group. One or more of these N α (ω-functionalized) amino acids are incorporated into a peptide sequence, preferably during solid phase peptide synthesis. The reactive terminal functional groups are protected by specific protecting groups that can be selectively removed to effect either backbone-to-backbone or backbone-to-side chain cyclizations. The invention is specifically exemplified by backbone cyclized bradykinin antagonists having biological activity. Further embodiments of the invention are somatostatin analogs having one or two ring structures involving backbone cyclization.

Patients receive gemtuzumab ozogamicin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
BACKGROUND: Chronic cough in children is closely related to gastroesophageal reflux (GER). However, this association has not been adequately studied due to a lack of diagnostic tools. Combined esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH (MII-pH) monitoring is considered the most accurate method for evaluating the association between symptoms and reflux, but data on its use in children with chronic cough are still lacking. We aimed to assess the association between chronic cough and GER in children through MII-pH monitoring.
METHODS: Children with chronic cough (> 4 weeks) who were suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) were selected to undergo 24 h MII-pH monitoring at our hospital. Patients were divided into groups according to their age, body position, reflux index (RI) or total reflux events, and the differences between the groups were analyzed. Then the significance and value of 24 h pH and impedance monitoring in chronic cough and the relationship between chronic cough and reflux were discussed.
RESULTS: Overall, 426 patients were included. The median age was 12 months (interquartile range: 6-39.5 months), 129 (30.3%) patients had RI > 7% detected by pH-metry, and 290 (68.1%) patients had positive diagnosis based on the impedance data. GER predominantly occurred in the upright position and mostly involved weakly acidic reflux and mixed gas-liquid reflux. There were 14.1% of children in non-acid GER group were SAP positive showing no difference in acid GER group 13.2% (P = 0.88), whereas patients with SAP > 95% in MII positive group (47[16.2%]) is higher than in MII negative group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Twenty four hour MII-pH monitoring is safe, well tolerated in children, but also has a higher detection rate of gastroesophageal reflux. It can find identify weakly acidic reflux, weakly alkaline reflux and reflux events with different physical properties, which can explain the relationship between GER and chronic cough more comprehensively. It provides new approach for exploring the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of children with chronic cough.
Patients receive etoposide, doxorubicin, and vincristine IV continuously over 96 hours on days 1-4 of each cycle, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on day 5 of each cycle, prednisone PO BID on days 1-5 of each cycle, and tafasitamab IV weekly on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. CD20 positive patients also receive rituximab IV per guidelines on days 1 or 5 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo bone marrow aspiration or biopsy, CT scan, lumbar puncture and undergo blood sample and cerebrospinal fluid collection.
OBJECTIVE: In functional dyspepsia patients, duodenal mucosal eosinophilia has been associated with early satiety but is not present in all patients suggesting varied pathways to symptom generation. The objective of the current study was to explore metabolic differences comparing those with duodenal mucosal eosinophilia to those without eosinophilia.
METHODS: This study was conducted utilizing an existing biorepository. Patients had plasma samples obtained at the time of endoscopy. All had undergone endoscopy for dyspepsia and reported early satiety. Two groups were identified including those with peak duodenal mucosal eosinophil densities above 30/high power field (N = 28) and those below 30 (N = 16). The fasting plasma samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry. Significant differences between groups were determined.
RESULTS: The eosinophilia group demonstrated significant elevations in several gamma-glutamyl amino acids. The eosinophilia group had elevations of metabolites associated with oxidative stress including glutathione metabolites (cysteinlyglycine and cys-gly oxidized), and metabolites related to nitric oxide synthesis (arginine, citrulline, ornithine, and dimethylarginine). Eosinophilia was also associated with alterations in lipid metabolism including several long-chain acylcarnitine conjugated fatty acids. Carnitine levels were lower in the eosinophilia group. Lastly, vanillymandelate, a derivative of norepinephrine and epinephrine was elevated in the eosinophilia group.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with dyspepsia and early satiety, duodenal mucosal eosinophilia is associated with metabolites levels which are consistent with increased oxidative stress and alterations in lipid metabolism. Eosinophilia was also associated with lower carnitine levels. These alterations may contribute to pathophysiology and represent therapeutic targets.
Because severe hypotension may follow the administration of clonidine, it should be used with caution in all patients. It is not recommended in most patients with severe cardiovascular disease or in those who are otherwise hemodynamically unstable. The benefit of its administration in these patients should be carefully balanced against the potential risks resulting from hypotension. 

Vital signs should be monitored frequently, especially during the first few days of epidural clonidine therapy. When clonidine is infused into the upper thoracic spinal segments, more pronounced decreases in the blood pressure may be seen.

Clonidine decreases sympathetic outflow from the central nervous system resulting in decreases in peripheral resistance, renal vascular resistance, heart rate, and blood pressure. However, in the absence of profound hypotension, renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate remain essentially unchanged. 

In the pivotal double-blind, randomized study of cancer patients, where 38 subjects were administered epidural clonidine hydrochloride at 30 mcg/hr in addition to epidural morphine, hypotension occurred in 45% of subjects. Most episodes of hypotension occurred within the first four days after beginning epidural clonidine. However, hypotensive episodes occurred throughout the duration of the trial. There was a tendency for these episodes to occur more commonly in women, and in those with higher serum clonidine levels. Patients experiencing hypotension also tended to weigh less than those who did not experience hypotension. The hypotension is usually responsive to intravenous fluids and, if necessary, appropriate parenterally-administered pressor agents. 

Published reports on the use of epidural clonidine for intraoperative or postoperative analgesia also show a consistent and marked hypotensive response to clonidine. Severe hypotension may occur even if intravenous fluid pretreatment is given.
BACKGROUND: aortic stenosis is a common heart valve disease that mainly affects older people in developed countries. Its early detection is crucial to prevent the irreversible disease progression and, eventually, death. A typical screening technique to detect stenosis uses echocardiograms; however, variations introduced by other tissues, camera movements, and uneven lighting can hamper the visual inspection, leading to misdiagnosis. To address these issues, effective solutions involve employing deep learning algorithms to assist clinicians in detecting and classifying stenosis by developing models that can predict this pathology from single heart views. Although promising, the visual information conveyed by a single image may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis, especially when using an automatic system; thus, this indicates that different solutions should be explored.
METHODOLOGY: following this rationale, this paper proposes a novel deep learning architecture, composed of a multi-view, multi-scale feature extractor, and a transformer encoder (MV-MS-FETE) to predict stenosis from parasternal long and short-axis views. In particular, starting from the latter, the designed model extracts relevant features at multiple scales along its feature extractor component and takes advantage of a transformer encoder to perform the final classification.
RESULTS: experiments were performed on the recently released Tufts medical echocardiogram public dataset, which comprises 27,788 images split into training, validation, and test sets. Due to the recent release of this collection, tests were also conducted on several state-of-the-art models to create multi-view and single-view benchmarks. For all models, standard classification metrics were computed (e.g., precision, F1-score). The obtained results show that the proposed approach outperforms other multi-view methods in terms of accuracy and F1-score and has more stable performance throughout the training procedure. Furthermore, the experiments also highlight that multi-view methods generally perform better than their single-view counterparts.
CONCLUSION: this paper introduces a novel multi-view and multi-scale model for aortic stenosis recognition, as well as three benchmarks to evaluate it, effectively providing multi-view and single-view comparisons that fully highlight the model's effectiveness in aiding clinicians in performing diagnoses while also producing several baselines for the aortic stenosis recognition task.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the current state of research and future research hotspots through a metrological analysis of the literature in the field of forensic anthropological remains identification research.
METHODS: The data retrieved and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), the core database of the Web of Science information service platform (hereinafter referred to as "WoS"), was used to analyze the trends and topic changes in research on forensic identification of human remains from 1991 to 2022. Network visualisation of publication trends, countries (regions), institutions, authors and topics related to the identification of remains in forensic anthropology was analysed using python 3.9.2 and Gephi 0.10.
RESULTS: A total of 873 papers written in English in the field of forensic anthropological remains identification research were obtained. The journal with the largest number of publications was Forensic Science International (164 articles). The country (region) with the largest number of published papers was China (90 articles). Katholieke Univ Leuven (Netherlands, 21 articles) was the institution with the largest number of publications. Topic analysis revealed that the focus of forensic anthropological remains identification research was sex estimation and age estimation, and the most commonly studied remains were teeth.
CONCLUSIONS: The volume of publications in the field of forensic anthropological remains identification research has a distinct phasing. However, the scope of both international and domestic collaborations remains limited. Traditionally, human remains identification has primarily relied on key areas such as the pelvis, skull, and teeth. Looking ahead, future research will likely focus on the more accurate and efficient identification of multiple skeletal remains through the use of machine learning and deep learning techniques.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness between unilateral laminotomy and bilateral decompression (ULBD) with unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) and uniportal interlaminar endoscopy (UIE) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.
METHODS: A clinical data of 52 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, who met the selection criteria and treated with ULBD between March 2021 and November 2022, was retrospectively analyzed. The patients were allocated into UBE group (23 cases) and UIE group (29 cases) according to the surgical methods. There was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in age, gender, body mass index, surgical segment, type of lumbar stenosis, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score of low back pain, VAS score of leg pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI), disc height, and dural sac area between the two groups. Perioperative indexes (incision length, operation time, hospital stay, and surgical complications), clinical indicators (VAS score of low back pain, VAS score of leg pain, and ODI before operation and at 3 days, 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after operation), and imaging indicators (disc height and dural sac area before operation and at 1, 12 months after operation, and dural sac expansion area) were recorded and compared between the two group.
RESULTS: All operations in both groups were successfully completed. Compared with the UIE group, the UBE group had shorter operation time and longer incision length, with significant differences ( P<0.05). But there was no significant difference in hospital stay and incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up 12-20 months (mean, 14 months). The VAS scores of low back pain and leg pain and ODI after operation significantly improved when compared with preoperative values ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the above indicators between different time points after operation ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups at different time points ( P>0.05). Imaging examination showed that there was no significant difference in disc height between the two groups at different time points after operation ( P>0.05). However, the dural sac area and dural sac expansion area were significantly larger in the UBE group than in the UIE group ( P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: ULBD with UBE and UIE can achieve satisfactory effectiveness in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. But the former has more thorough decompression and better dural sac expansion than the latter.
The pathogenesis of the diabetic macular edema is multiple. Therefore treatment of this disease should be combined too. VEGF is involved in pathogenesis of diabetic macular edema and recently anti-VEGF agents such as bevacizumab have been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of this retinal disorder. However, endogenous VEGF is required for visual function. Growing body evidence indicates that VEGF acts also on nonvascular cells, it plays survival role on Muller cells and photoreceptors. Therefore anti-VEGF therapies should be administered with caution and not persistent. Photocoagulation in nonperfused areas eliminate increased production of VEGF, proliferation of RPE and increased production of PEDF in surrounded impact laser area. Vitrectomy with ILM peeling reliefs traction on the macula, improve oxygenation of the macula leading to decreased vascular permeability with subsequent resolution or decrease in DME. Removed ILM contains a part of the Müller cell endfeet and the horizontal gliosis. It is likely that the proliferation of GFAP-stained gliofibrils, observed in microdamaged Müller cells, preserves the blood-retinal barrier, reinforces architectural cohesion, and opposes the installation of the edema. Therefore, we made hypothesis that combined triple therapy was effective for decreasing macular thickness and improvement of vision for eyes with diffuse diabetic macular edema.

It is important for the surgeon to determine the factors that might influence surgical outcome so that patients are chosen for the procedure that they can get benefit from. Therefore, we evaluated the possible preoperative and intraoperative factors that might influence surgical outcomes
Tumor vessels characterized by abnormal functions and structures hinder the infiltration and immune antigen presentation of immune cells by inducing the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment ("cold" environment). Vascular-targeted therapy has been proven to enhance immune stimulation and the effectiveness of immunotherapy by modulating the "cold" microenvironment, such as hypoxia and an acidic microenvironment. Notably, a therapeutic strategy based on "vascular-immune" crosstalk can achieve dual regulation of tumor vessels and the immune system by reprogramming the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus forming a positive feedback loop between tumor vessels and the immune microenvironment. From this perspective, we discuss the factors of tumor angiogenesis and "cold" TME formation. Building on this foundation, some vascular-targeted therapeutic drugs will be elaborated upon in detail to achieve dual regulation of tumor vessels and immunity. More importantly, we focus on cutting-edge nanotechnology in view of "vascular-immune" crosstalk and discuss the rational fabrication of tailor-made nanosystems for efficiently enhancing immunotherapy.
Aliskiren

Limited data are available related to overdosage in humans. The most likely manifestation of overdosage would be hypotension. If symptomatic hypotension should occur, supportive treatment should be initiated. 

Aliskiren is poorly dialyzed. Therefore, hemodialysis is not adequate to treat aliskiren overexposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3)] . 

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)

The most common signs and symptoms of overdose observed in humans are those caused by electrolyte depletion (hypokalemia, hypochloremia, hyponatremia) and dehydration resulting from excessive diuresis. If digitalis has also been administered, hypokalemia may accentuate cardiac arrhythmias. The degree to which HCTZ is removed by hemodialysis has not been established. The oral LD 50 of HCTZ is greater than 10 g/kg in both mice and rats.

PURPOSE:A prolonged release type vasodilator, obtained by kneading a chemical having the vasodilator action with a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin, and if necessary integrally molding the resultant kneaded material with a medical member to be implanted in the human body, and useful particularly as a remedy for serotinus cerebrovascular twitch. CONSTITUTION:A prolonged release type vasodilator obtained by kneading a nontoxic chemical having the vasodilator action, e.g. papaverine hydrochloride or nicardipine hydrochloride, with a thermosetting resin, e.g. a silicone resin or cyanoacrylate resin, or thermoplastic resin, e.g. polystyrene resin, polyolefin resin or polyamide resin, and if necessary integrally molding the resultant kneaded material with a medical member to be implanted in the human body, e.g. a drainer tube. The mixing ratio of the chemical is 2-50wt%, and the kneading is carried out by using a kneading machine, e.g. a kneader, at 20-70 deg.C for 20min-2hr in the case of the thermosetting resin and for 30min-5hr in the case of the thermoplastic resin. 10-15kg/cm<2> strength is required for the resin to withstand the indwelling use in the human body.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology and clinical phenotype of a child with Triadin knockout syndrome (TKOS), and to review the relevant literature of TKOS patients due to variants of TRDN gene.
METHODS: A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University on March 19, 2023 due to sudden cardiac arrest 3 days earlier was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples (2 to 3 mL) were collected from the child and her parents for the extraction of genomic DNA and whole exome sequencing (WES). Pathogenic variants were searched from databases such as the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and were assessed based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). Sanger sequencing was carried out for family validation of the pathogenic variants. Using keywords such as "arrhythmias" "TRDN" and "Triadin" both in Chinese and English, relevant literature on TKOS patients due to variants of the TRDN gene was retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and PubMed databases, and the time of literature retrieval was set from January 1, 2012 to December 1, 2023. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University (No. 20230097), and informed consent was obtained from the parents of the child.
RESULTS: The child had experienced syncope and cardiac arrest after exercise. Electrocardiographic examination revealed QTc interval prolongation, T-wave inversion in precordial leads V1-V3, polymorphic ventricular premature beat (VPB), and ventricular tachycardia (VT) along with increased heart rate. WES and Sanger sequencing revealed that the child has harbored a homozygous c.463del(p.E155Kfs*20) variant of the TRDN gene, for which both of the parents were heterozygous. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, the variant was classified as pathogenic (PVS1+PM2+PM3). The child was ultimately diagnosed with TKOS. In total 12 publications on TOKS cases caused by TRDN gene variants were retrieved, which involved 30 patients and 28 carriers of single heterozygous variant of the TRDN gene. Among the 30 TKOS patients, 20 had carried homozygous variants of the TRDN gene, and 10 had carried compound heterozygous variants, and all had exhibited significant clinical phenotype of arrhythmia, with most cases had experienced malignant arrhythmia induced by exercise and/or excitement during infancy or early childhood, leading to recurrent syncope and cardiac arrest. Of note, none of the 28 carriers of single heterozygous variant had abnormal clinical phenotype.
CONCLUSION: The homozygous c.463del(p.E155Kfs20) variant of the TRDN gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of cardiac arrest in this child. Above discovery has enriched the mutational spectrum of the TRDN gene.
