The rising prevalence of obesity in Saudi Arabia is a major contributor to the nation's high levels of cardiometabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. To assess the impact of obesity on the diabetic metabolic phenotype presented in young Saudi Arabian adults, participants (n = 289, aged 18-40 years) were recruited and stratified into four groups: healthy weight (BMI 18.5-24.99 kg/m2) with (n = 57) and without diabetes (n = 58) or overweight/obese (BMI > 24.99 kg/m2) with (n = 102) and without diabetes (n = 72). Distinct plasma metabolic phenotypes associated with high BMI and diabetes were identified using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and ultraperformance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Increased plasma glucose and dysregulated lipoproteins were characteristics of obesity in individuals with and without diabetes, but the obesity-associated lipoprotein phenotype was partially masked in individuals with diabetes. Although there was little difference between diabetics and nondiabetics in the global plasma LDL cholesterol and phospholipid concentration, the distribution of lipoprotein particles was altered in diabetics with a shift toward denser and more atherogenic LDL5 and LDL6 particles, which was amplified in the presence of obesity. Further investigation is warranted in larger Middle Eastern populations to explore the dysregulation of metabolism driven by interactions between obesity and diabetes in young adults.
The majority of inpatients at Parkwood Institute Mental Health have symptoms of psychosis. In line with Health Quality Ontario standards for the treatment of psychosis, the investigators would like to implement and evaluate cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) informed groups. The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of CBTp groups for inpatients will be examined. Pragmatically, the investigators propose to undergo training in CBTp, implement empirically-supported CBTp protocols developed for inpatients, track outcomes, and publish our findings. The investigators would also incorporate patient feedback to improve future iterations of the protocol. Such an undertaking would build research capacity in front line staff by encouraging engagement in CBTp group training, survey design, participant screening, data collection, analyses, and dissemination of findings.
Patients will be screened for eligibility in Step 1 and undergo a blood draw of 100-120mL to allow production of autologous HST-NEETS. patients will receive a fixed dose of 2x10e7/m2. For the first 3 recipients, the infusions will occur 4 weeks apart. If no adverse reactions occur that are attributable to the HST-NEETs, the recipients thereafter will receive the two infusions separated by 2 weeks.
The overall goal of this study is to characterize role of pharmacogenomic on ARV drug (atazanavir, and efavirenz) levels, its toxicities, and its long term efficacy among HIV-infected adults in Thailand. The specific aims are (1) to evaluate the impact of genetic polymorphism on ARV drug levels (2) to evaluate the effect of genetic polymorphism/ drug levels on long term immunologic and virologic response (3) to correlate the genetic polymorphism/drug levels on antiretroviral toxicities. The proposed study will be analysed in stored samples of the well-established cohort of long-term follow-up study for HIV-infected patients participated in HIV-NAT study protocols, the HIV-NAT006 study. This cohort provide us unique opportunity to study impact of pharmacogenomics on long term treatment response and long term drug toxicities since this cohort was started in 1996. Furthermore, the important factors include ARV regimen, drug toxicities, PBMC, immunological and virological parameters have been collected every 6 months basis in HIV-NAT006 study.

A comprehensive understanding of the impact of pharmacogenomics to HIV infection and HIV medication will lead to development of appropriate intervention, particularly, dose reduction strategy in patient with particular gene correlated with greater drug levels. The dose reduction strategy will decrease long term drug toxicity and cost saving for Thai and Asian Ethnicity.
Participants will be recruited from 14 VUMC-affiliate adult primary care clinics located throughout Middle Tennessee. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to the intervention or usual care. 500 adult patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus will be assigned to one of two arms. 250 will be assigned to receive access to the intervention embedded within an existing patient web portal (My Health at Vanderbilt) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. 250 will be assigned to a usual care comparison arm with access to the currently available version of My Health at Vanderbilt without the study intervention. At enrollment, participants will complete a baseline questionnaire and diabetes health data will be abstracted from the patients' electronic health record (EHR) before being assigned to the intervention or control arm. Participants will receive additional follow-up questionnaires and diabetes health data will be abstracted from the EHR at 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-ups to assess outcomes. In addition, system usage data (user analytics) will be collected throughout the study period.
This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized study of ADXS11-001 administered in the adjuvant setting after completion of CCRT in participants with HRLACC, or death. All eligible participants had received CCRT administered with curative intent according to institutional/national guidelines as well as meeting the minimum standards defined in the protocol. Participants initiated the Screening period within 10 weeks after the completion of CCRT. Baseline radiographic assessments and clinical laboratory assessments were completed no longer than 28 days prior to and 3 days prior to the first study treatment infusion, respectively. Eligible participants were randomized 1:2 to receive either placebo or ADXS11-001. Participants received 1 infusion of study treatment administered every 3 weeks for 3 doses for the first 3 months. Thereafter, participants received study treatment every 8 weeks for a total of 5 doses or until disease recurrence. Participants received a 7-day course of an oral antibiotic or placebo starting 72 hours following the completion of study treatment administration.

Treatment will continue until participant's death or early withdrawal from study or study completion at Day 168.
An occupational therapist (OT) will incorporate participants' preference, goals, and current function to select UL exercise activities with participants from the RehabKit program software. During the 6-week TeleRehab period, participants will complete 30 one-hour sessions of UL exercise activities, on their own without immediate supervision.
Tumor stroma plays a critical role in fostering tumor progression and metastasis. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are a major component of the tumor stroma. Identifying the key molecular determinants for the protumor properties of CAFs could enable the development of more effective treatment strategies. In this study, through analyses of single-cell sequencing data, we identified a population of CAFs expressing high levels of sulfatase 1 (SULF1), which was associated with poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer models using mice with conditional SULF1 knockout in fibroblasts revealed the tumor-supportive function of SULF1+ CAFs. Mechanistically, SULF1+ CAFs enhanced the release of VEGFA from heparan sulfate proteoglycan. The increased bioavailability of VEGFA initiated the deposition of extracellular matrix and enhanced angiogenesis. In addition, intestinal microbiota-produced butyrate suppressed SULF1 expression in CAFs through its histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory activity. The insufficient butyrate production in patients with colorectal cancer increased the abundance of SULF1+ CAFs, thereby promoting tumor progression. Importantly, tumor growth inhibition by HDAC was dependent on SULF1 expression in CAFs, and patients with colorectal cancer with more SULF1+ CAFs were more responsive to treatment with the HDAC inhibitor chidamide. Collectively, these findings unveil the critical role of SULF1+ CAFs in colorectal cancer and provide a strategy to stratify patients with colorectal cancer for HDAC inhibitor treatment.  Significance: SULF1+ cancer-associated fibroblasts play a tumor-promoting role in colorectal cancer by stimulating extracellular matrix deposition and angiogenesis and can serve as a biomarker for the therapeutic response to HDAC inhibitors in patients.
BACKGROUND: In 2016, the "universal two-child" policy, allowing each couple to have two children, was introduced in China. The characteristic change of the long-term period after the implementation of the universal two-child policy was unclear. We studied trends in the obstetric characteristics and their potential impact on the rates of cesarean section and preterm birth in the era of China's universal two-child policy.
METHODS: A tertiary center-based study (2010-2021) retrospectively focused single high-risk pregnancies who delivered from the one-child policy period (OCP, 2010-2015) to the universal two-child policy period (TCP, 2016-2021). A total of 39, 016 pregnancies were enrolled. Maternal demographics, complications, delivery mode and obstetric outcomes were analyzed. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between the cesarean section rate, preterm birth and implementation of the universal two-child policy, adjusting maternal age, parity, and fetal distress.
RESULTS: Ultimately a total of 39,016 pregnant women met the criteria and were included in this analysis. The proportion of women with advanced maternal age (AMA) increased from 14.6% in the OCP to 31.6% in the TCP. The number of multiparous women increased 2-fold in the TCP. In addition, the overall rate of cesarean section significantly decreased over the policy change, regardless of maternal age, whereas the risk of preterm birth significantly increased in the TCP. Adjusting for maternal age, parity and fetal distress, the universal two-child policy showed a significantly favorable impact on the cesarean section rate (RR 0.745, 95%CI (0.714-0.777), P < 0.001). Compared to the OCP group, a higher increase in fetal distress and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) were observed in the TCP group. In pregnancies with AMA, there was no increase in the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, whereas more women who younger than 35 years old suffered from postpartum hemorrhage in TCP. The logistic regression model showed that the universal two-child policy was positively associated with the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (RR: 1.135, 95%CI: 1.025-1.257, P = 0.015).
CONCLUSIONS: After the implementation of the universal two-child policy in China, the rate of the cesarean section significantly decreased, especially for women under 35 years old. However, the overall risk of postpartum hemorrhage increased in women under 35 years old, while there was no change in women with AMA. Under the new population policy, the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in the young women should not be neglected.

Most gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures are now performed with sedation and analgesia. Sedation and analgesia affects the quality of the procedure, patient co-operation and compliance as well as endoscopist's satisfaction. Despite the use of numerous sedation and analgesic techniques for GI endoscopy procedures, the best method is still controversial. A wide variety of procedures have been reported worldwide for anesthesia during gastrointestinal endoscopy in adults.The current survey was primarily designed to provide national data on current sedation and monitoring practices that was carried out during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Secondary objectives were to provide data on the endoscopic application of the turkish gastroenterologist.

The questionnaire consisting of 20 questions about the anesthesia methods applied in the procedures in the endoscopy unit will be sent to 1000 gastroenterologists registered in the Turkish Gastroenterology Association by e-mail. The questionnaire is covered the demographic data, types of endoscopic procedures and anesthesia methods applied, anesthetic agents, monitoring methods, anesthesia team, preanesthetic evaluation and consent forms, recovery unit and complications and interventions during anesthesia.
Patients diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis or recurrent acute pancreatitis may acquire insulin-dependent diabetes due to islet cell destruction. Therefore, islet cell autotransplantation is the optimal therapeutic approach for many of these patients. Islet cell autotransplantation is typically done by excision of the pancreas, followed by isolation of the islet cells and then infusion of these cells into the sinusoids of the liver. Isolation of the islet cells occurs in an ischemic and hypoxic environment, resulting in ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury and destruction of islet cells following infusion into the sinusoids. Hence, strategies to prevent IR injury and subsequent islet cell destruction, such as the administration of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) or sodium nitrite (NaNO2) could enhance islet cell survival following reperfusion, also decreasing long-term insulin requirement. The purpose of this study is to determine if NO administered by infusion in patients undergoing islet cell auto transplantation, will inhibit islet cell destruction, increase diabetes cure rate (decrease the amount of and/or the need for long-term insulin requirement), decrease the ischemic injury (reduces the injury to the islet cells from a decrease in oxygen levels during procurement of the islet cells) during islet cell procurement, and decrease IR injury following islet cell infusion. The primary endpoints of the study are exogenous insulin use, HgbA1c levels post-operatively, and blood glucose levels.
PURPOSE:To provide an ultraviolet ray intercepting agent having extremely high safety to the skin and capable of protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays, by using kojic acid as an effective component. CONSTITUTION:An ultraviolet ray intercepting agent obtained by dissolving kojic acid, e.g. in water or ethanol, or dispersing the acid in a proper oily substance in the presence of a surface active agent. The ultraviolet ray intercepting agent thus prepared may be added to cosmetics, ointment, etc. The amount of the agent to be added is 0.1-5wt%. Kojic acid can be prepared by the liquid culturing of kojic acid-producing fungi such as those belonging to Aspergillus genus, Penicillium genus, etc. Fermented foods such as ''miso'', soy sauce, ''sake'', etc. contains kojic acid as a tasting component. Therefore, the agent has extremely low toxicity, and is free from skin irritation and allergic activity.

Clinical studies suggest that non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), but causality and mechanisms linking these two major diseases are lacking. To assess whether NASH can induce CKD, we have characterized kidney function, histological features, transcriptomic and lipidomic profiles in a well-validated murine NASH model. Mice with NASH progressively developed significant podocyte foot process effacement, proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis, tubular epithelial cell injury, lipid accumulation, and interstitial fibrosis. The progression of kidney fibrosis paralleled the severity of the histologic NASH-activity score. Significantly, we confirmed the causal link between NASH and CKD by orthotopic liver transplantation, which attenuated proteinuria, kidney dysfunction, and fibrosis compared with control sham operated mice. Transcriptomic analysis of mouse kidney cortices revealed differentially expressed genes that were highly enriched in mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid metabolic process, and insulin signaling pathways in NASH-induced CKD. Lipidomic analysis of kidney cortices further revealed that phospholipids and sphingolipids were the most significantly changed lipid species. Notably, we found similar kidney histological changes in human NASH and CKD. Thus, our results confirm a causative role of NASH in the development of CKD, reveal potential pathophysiologic mechanisms of NASH-induced kidney injury, and established a valuable model to study the pathogenesis of NASH-associated CKD. This is an important feature of fatty liver disease that has been largely overlooked but has clinical and prognostic importance.

Depression is frequently observed in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and represents a significant risk factor for major cardiovascular events. Depression in patients with existing CHD confers a relative risk between 1.5 and 2.5 for cardiac morbidity and mortality. In previous cross-sectional and prospective studies, the prevalence of major depression in patients with CHD ranged from 10% to 47%, and slightly higher rates were reported (28%) in patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In CABG patients, symptoms of depression may increase mortality after bypass surgery and were associated with atherosclerotic progression.

In 2008, the American Heart Association recommended routine screening for depression in patients with CHD in various settings, including the hospital, physician's office, clinic, and cardiac rehabilitation center. In recent years, growing evidence also suggests the existence of a bidirectional relationship between depressed mood and inflammation. Dantzer and associates reported that inflammation can lead to the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals. Consistent with these findings, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), currently as one available clinical biomarker of inflammation, was reported associated with increased long-term mortality and extended hospital length of stay in patients undergoing nonemergency CABG-only surgery. And our previous study showed that elevated serum hsCRP is an independent predictor for depression in CABG patients not only preoperatively but also up to 6 months after surgery.

This study will enroll patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery in Fuwai Hospital. At study entry, participants will be interviewed during their index hospitalization, to collect information about depressive symptoms, functioning, quality of life, and medical care. Demographic characteristics, medical history, clinical features, diagnostic tests, medications, procedures, and in-hospital outcomes of patients will be abstracted from medical records by well trained professional abstractors. At 1 month and 6 month after discharge, participants will return to the clinic for follow up visits, a face-to-face interview will be conducted to get information about clinical events, depressive symptoms, functioning, quality of life, and medical care during the recovery period. Practical guidelines will be established based on the findings to improve patients' outcomes in future finally.
