PURPOSE:To provide a carcinostatic agent containing a saccharide derivative such as N-dodecyl-beta-N'-acetylglucosamine as an active ingredient and having a high activity, reduced SIDE EFFECTS and excellent safety. CONSTITUTION:An carcinostatic agent contains a saccharide derivative of formula A-X-R<1> (A is the residue of a monosaccharide or oligosaccharide; X is NH, S, O; R<1> is 6-24C aliphatic, alicyclic or alicyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon) as an active ingredient. The agent can be prepared in the form of capsules, tablets, granules, pills, dispersions, drops or suppositories. The administration amount of the agent is 0.01-500mg/kg/day in the case of oral administration, and 0.002-400mg/kg/day in the case of parenteral administration. The saccharide derivative pref. has the -X-R<1> group at 1-position of the monosaccharide or at 1-pasition of the monosaccharide which constitutes the terminal of the oligosaccharide, and can be prepared by reacting these monosaccharide and oligosaccharide with an amine by a known method.
Tau protein misfolding and aggregation are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease and over twenty neurodegenerative disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms of tau aggregation in vivo remain incompletely understood. There are two types of tau aggregates in the brain: soluble aggregates (oligomers and protofibrils) and insoluble filaments (fibrils). Compared to filamentous aggregates, soluble aggregates are more toxic and exhibit prion-like transmission, providing seeds for templated misfolding. Curiously, in its native state, tau is a highly soluble, heat-stable protein that does not form fibrils by itself, not even when hyperphosphorylated. In vitro studies have found that negatively charged molecules such as heparin, RNA, or arachidonic acid are generally required to induce tau aggregation. Two recent breakthroughs have provided new insights into tau aggregation mechanisms. First, as an intrinsically disordered protein, tau is found to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) both in vitro and inside cells. Second, cryo-electron microscopy has revealed diverse fibrillar tau conformations associated with different neurodegenerative disorders. Nonetheless, only the fibrillar core is structurally resolved, and the remainder of the protein appears as a "fuzzy coat". From this review, it appears that further studies are required (1) to clarify the role of LLPS in tau aggregation; (2) to unveil the structural features of soluble tau aggregates; (3) to understand the involvement of fuzzy coat regions in oligomer and fibril formation.
Anastomotic leaks are among the most dreaded complications following gastrointestinal (GI) surgery, and contrast-enhanced X-ray gastroenterography is considered the preferred initial diagnostic method for GI leaks. However, from fundamental research to clinical practice, the only oral iodinated contrast agents currently available for GI leaks detection are facing several challenges, including low sensitivity, iodine allergy, and contraindications in patients with thyroid diseases. Herein, we propose a cinematic contrast-enhanced X-ray gastroenterography for the real-time detection of GI leaks with an iodine-free bismuth chelate (Bi-DTPA) for the first time. The Bi-DTPA, synthesized through a straightforward one-pot method, offers distinct advantages such as no need for purification, a nearly 100 % yield, large-scale production capability, and good biocompatibility. The remarkable X-ray attenuation properties of Bi-DTPA enable real-time dynamic visualization of whole GI tract under both X-ray gastroenterography and computed tomography (CT) imaging. More importantly, the leaky site and severity can be both clearly displayed during Bi-DTPA-enhanced gastroenterography in a rat model with esophageal leakage. The proposed movie-like Bi-DTPA-enhanced X-ray imaging approach presents a promising alternative to traditional GI radiography based on iodinated molecules. It demonstrates significant potential in addressing concerns related to iodine-associated adverse effects and offers an alternative method for visually detecting gastrointestinal leaks.
Teleost gill mucus has a highly diverse microbiota, which plays an essential role in the host's fitness and is greatly influenced by the environment. Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), a salmonid well adapted to northern conditions, faces multiple stressors in the Arctic, including water chemistry modifications, that could negatively impact the gill microbiota dynamics related to the host's health. In the context of increasing environmental disturbances, we aimed to characterize the taxonomic distribution of transcriptionally active taxa within the bacterial gill microbiota of Arctic char in the Canadian Arctic in order to identify active bacterial composition that correlates with environmental factors. For this purpose, a total of 140 adult anadromous individuals were collected from rivers, lakes, and bays belonging to five Inuit communities located in four distinct hydrologic basins in the Canadian Arctic (Nunavut and Nunavik) during spring (May) and autumn (August). Various environmental factors were collected, including latitudes, water and air temperatures, oxygen concentration, pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), salinity, and chlorophyll-a concentration. The taxonomic distribution of transcriptionally active taxa within the gill microbiota was quantified by 16S rRNA gene transcripts sequencing. The results showed differential bacterial activity between the different geographical locations, explained by latitude, salinity, and, to a lesser extent, air temperature. Network analysis allowed the detection of a potential dysbiosis signature (i.e., bacterial imbalance) in fish gill microbiota from Duquet Lake in the Hudson Strait and the system Five Mile Inlet connected to the Hudson Bay, both showing the lowest alpha diversity and connectivity between taxa.IMPORTANCEThis paper aims to decipher the complex relationship between Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and its symbiotic microbial consortium in gills. This salmonid is widespread in the Canadian Arctic and is the main protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids source for Inuit people. The influence of environmental parameters on gill microbiota in wild populations remains poorly understood. However, assessing the Arctic char's active gill bacterial community is essential to look for potential pathogens or dysbiosis that could threaten wild populations. Here, we concluded that Arctic char gill microbiota was mainly influenced by latitude and air temperature, the latter being correlated with water temperature. In addition, a dysbiosis signature detected in gill microbiota was potentially associated with poor fish health status recorded in these disturbed environments. With those results, we hypothesized that rapid climate change and increasing anthropic activities in the Arctic might profoundly disturb Arctic char gill microbiota, affecting their survival.
A wealth of evidence has emerged that there is an association between aging, senescence and tumorigenesis. Senescence, a biological process by which cells cease to divide and enter a status of permanent cell cycle arrest, contributes to aging and aging-related diseases, including cancer. Aging populations have the higher incidence of cancer due to a lifetime of exposure to cancer-causing agents, reduction of repairing DNA damage, accumulated genetic mutations, and decreased immune system efficiency. Cancer patients undergoing cytotoxic therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, accelerate aging. There is growing evidence that p53/MDM2 (murine double minute 2) axis is critically involved in regulation of aging, senescence and oncogenesis. Therefore, in this review, we describe the functions and mechanisms of p53/MDM2-mediated senescence, aging and carcinogenesis. Moreover, we highlight the small molecular inhibitors, natural compounds and PROTACs (proteolysis targeting chimeras) that target p53/MDM2 pathway to influence aging and cancer. Modification of p53/MDM2 could be a potential strategy for treatment of aging, senescence and tumorigenesis.
The administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to increase the white blood cell count in granulocyte donors prior to donation is becoming an increasingly common practice. G-CSF is given subcutaneously to the donor on the day prior to donation, generally 12 to 24 hours before the start of apheresis. It would be advantageous to be able to give G-CSF and collect granulocytes on the same day. However, the single most important factor in optimizing granulocyte collection is the donor's pre-collection granulocyte count. Therefore, any decrease in count would result in a less cellular component. The purpose of this study is to assess granulocyte counts in healthy subjects during an 8-hour period after a single 5 microgram/kg intravenous dose of G-CSF with or without dexamethasone. Sixteen subjects will be studied. Each donor will be studied four separate times. The four mobilization protocols to be studied are G-CSF 5 micrograms/kg given intravenously, G-CSF 5 micrograms/kg subcutaneously, G-CSF 5 micrograms/kg intravenously plus dexamethasone 8 mg orally, and G-CSF 5 micrograms/kg subcutaneously plus dexamethasone 8 mg orally. The order of the route of administration will be assigned randomly. White blood cell counts, neutrophil counts and donor symptoms will be measured before G-CSF administration and at 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours after administration. The neutrophil counts measured within the first 8 hours after G-CSF will be compared with counts measured 24 hours after G-CSF.
Systemic effects associated with hormones and cytokines secreted by tumor cells can cause paraneoplastic syndrome. Leukemoid reactions and hypercalcemia are relatively common manifestations of paraneoplastic syndrome. Here, we describe the case of a 90-year-old woman who presented with leukocytosis and hypercalcemia and was diagnosed with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing cervical cancer with elevated levels of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP). The patient visited our hospital complaining of general fatigue and anorexia. On admission, she presented with marked leukocytosis, hypercalcemia, and an increase in C-reactive protein level. On the basis of abdominal magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological examination, the patient was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Additional tests confirmed elevated plasma levels of G-CSF, PTHrP, and serum interleukin-6. Immunostaining of pathological specimens of the uterine cervix showed expression of G-CSF in tumor cells. The patient was diagnosed with G-CSF-producing cervical cancer accompanied by elevation of PTHrP levels. As a treatment for hypercalcemia, discontinuation of oral vitamin D derivative and administration of saline and elcatonin were ineffective, and therapeutic intervention with zoledronic acid hydrate was required. Considering the patient's advanced age, surgical resection of cervical cancer was not performed. She died from congestive heart failure approximately 3 months after hospitalization. This case was indicated to be a paraneoplastic syndrome in which G-CSF and PTHrP-induced leukocytosis and hypercalcemia. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of G-CSF-producing cervical cancer with elevated PTHrP levels, and our case is the first report.
It is well known that systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an auto-inflammatory disease that is characterized by chronic and widespread inflammation. The exact pathogenesis of SLE is still a matter of debate. However, it has been suggested that the binding of autoantibodies to autoantigens forms immune complexes (ICs), activators of the immune response, in SLE patients. Ultimately, all of these responses lead to an imbalance between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines, resulting in cumulative inflammation. IL-35, the newest member of the IL-12 family, is an immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory cytokine secreted mainly by regulatory cells. Structurally, IL-35 is a heterodimeric cytokine, composed of Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3 (EBI3) and p35. IL-35 appears to hold therapeutic and diagnostic potential in cancer and autoimmune diseases. In this review, we summarized the most recent associations between IL and 35 and SLE. Unfortunately, the comparative review of IL-35 in SLE indicates many differences and contradictions, which make it difficult to generalize the use of IL-35 in the treatment of SLE. With the available information, it is not possible to talk about targeting this cytokine for the lupus treatment. So, further studies would be needed to establish the clear and exact levels of this cytokine and its related receptors in people with lupus to provide IL-35 as a preferential therapeutic or diagnostic candidate in SLE management.
Systemic treatment and SBRT to the bone metastases. Two SBRT schemes are allowed: 9 Gy x 3 fractions or 7 Gy x 5 fractions for axial and appendicular bones metastases. The choice is at the discretion of the investigator.
The treatment will consist in an endurance training program. Only patients of the trained group will be subjected to this training program which will typically consist in 3 training sessions per week during 8 weeks i.e., 24 training sessions. Each training session will last 45 min. All training sessions will take place at the hospital and will be under medical supervision.
Patients in the ICG group will undergo endoscopic injection of ICG 4 hours before surgery. The ICG powder will be dissolved in 2.5mg/ml of sterile water. ICG will be injected along the submucosa at 4 points around the primary tumor,for a total volume of 10ml.
Risk Summary

  


Clorazepate and its active metabolite, nordiazepam, are present in breast milk. There are reports of sedation, poor feeding and poor weight gain in infants exposed to benzodiazepines through breast milk. The effects of clorazepate on milk production are unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions, including sedation and withdrawal symptoms in infants, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with clorazepate dipotassium.

Pediatric Use: See WARNINGS.

Geriatric Use: Clinical studies of clorazepate dipotassium were not adequate to determine whether subjects aged 65 and over respond differently than younger subjects. Elderly or debilitated patients may be especially sensitive to the effects of all benzodiazepines, including clorazepate dipotassium. In general, elderly or debilitated patients should be started on lower doses of clorazepate dipotassium and observed closely, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and concomitant disease or other drug therapy. Dose adjustments should also be made slowly, and with more caution in this patient population (see PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Treatment with somatropin may decrease insulin sensitivity, particularly at higher doses. New onset type 2 diabetes mellitus has been reported in patients taking somatropin. Previously undiagnosed impaired glucose tolerance and overt diabetes mellitus may be unmasked. Monitor glucose levels periodically in all patients receiving HUMATROPE, especially in those with risk factors for diabetes mellitus, such as obesity, Turner syndrome, or a family history of diabetes mellitus. Patients with preexisting type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance should be monitored closely. The doses of antidiabetic agents may require adjustment when HUMATROPE is initiated.
48 patients who had myofacial pain and were diagnosed with according to Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders were included in the study. There were 16 patients in each group. Group 1 was treated with occlusal splint, Group 2 was treated with occlusal splint and masseter muscle lidocaine injection, Group 3 was treated with masseter muscle lidocaine injection and Group 4 consisted of healthy volunteers. Visual analogue scale used for pain evaluation. Also, maximum mouth opening, lateral and protrusion movements of all groups were measured before any treatment. Masseter muscle volume was evaluated by ultrasonography whereas masseter muscle elasticity was evaluated by elastography before the masseter muscle lidocaine injection and occlusal splint treatment. In Group 2 and Group 3, masseter muscle injections were repeated two more times, on 7th and 14th days. Clinical and ultrasonographic measurements were repeated at 1st and 3rd months.
Extreme prematurity affects about 2% of births per year in France and is subject to a significant morbidity and mortality. It is likely that the fluid and electrolyte imbalances associated with mineralocorticoid adrenal insufficiency transient observed in this population of vulnerable newborns contribute to the occurrence of complications that will influence the prognosis medium and long term these children. The expected impact of our pilot study is a direct benefit to the patient, with reduced kidney soda losses from the 3rd day of life and throughout the first week of life (assessed by a non-invasive method: urine collection to compress and measurement of urinary Na / creatinine). This physiological approach (substitution of the deficient hormone) allow better control of sodium and water balance. This could limit a number of common complications of extreme prematurity, occurring in the first weeks of life, such as patent ductus arteriosus, intra-ventricular hemorrhage and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

The administration of glucocorticoids during the postnatal period (with action both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid) enables a reduction in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia severe. However, such treatment is associated with an increased incidence of neurodevelopmental effects related to activation of the glucocorticoid pathway. Using a specific mineralocorticoid agonist should preserve the beneficial effects without the adverse effects observed. The results of this pilot study will in a second time to consider a clinical trial Phase III national or international evaluating the significant reduction of these complications after substitution by Fludrocortisone the first week of life in the great premature. These results should have a major medical and economic impact. Indeed, neonatal morbidity indicators (intraventricular hemorrhage, patent ductus arteriosus, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and enterocolitis necrotizing) are associated with the subsequent development of neurodevelopmental sequelae (cerebral palsy and / or cognitive impairment) at the age of two and five years.

The invention relates to a Chinese medicine body surface application therapeutic technology and Chinese medicine combinations. Health news reports that the minister Chenzhu of Health Ministry said that chronic diseases would have a blowout in China 30 years later if effective intervention is not carried out on the chronic diseases. Another report records that the control on the blowout of the chronic diseases requires a new thought. Besides, reports that the control of the chronic diseases needs to be improved to the national strategy are also strikingly published. In a word, the traditional 'three magic weapons', tablets, vaccines and operations cannot be used for controlling the spread of the chronic diseases and other risk factors, so that a technology meeting the new thought is in dire need. More than 20 chronic diseases (most of the chronic diseases are difficult to cure in the medicine of the whole world), such as cardiovascular diseases, asthma, pulmonary embolism, bone joint diseases, neuropathic pain and the like can be effectively prevented and cured through the technology and the coordinated body surface application therapy of the two Chinese medicine combinations, and in particular, child asthma can be thoroughly cured. Children are the future successors of China, and the safe and efficient technology for avoiding the blowout of the chronic diseases in China is required.
A nationwide study conducted by the Korean Academy of vitiligo showed that 61.8% of patients with vitiligo always have emotional impairment. In addition, the incidence of recurrence is high, and the recurrence rate is reported up to 40% within one year after the discontinuation of treatment. Therefore, development of a marker for monitoring the disease activity is very important and desperately needed.

HMGB1 is a protein located in the nucleus, such as histone, and binds to genes and transcription factors to stabilize and control the DNA transcription. However, when released from the cells, it acts as a danger signal and is thought to cause autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory diseases and lupus. The present study demonstrated through ex vivo tissue culture that HMGB1 can induce melanocyte apoptosis by inducing apoptosis and also observed that serum concentration of HMGB1 was higher in vitiligo patients than in normal controls . The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of HMGB1 as a biomarker for predicting the severity of disease and to confirm the association between HMGB1 levels and vitiligo activity.
