Ultrasound therapy is a method of applying ultrasonic energy to the stimulation produced by human body to change the function and tissue state of the body in order to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Chronic venous ulcer is a common chronic skin ulcer. GSE222503 for ultrasound therapy of chronic venous ulcers was downloaded from gene expression omnibus database, which were used to identify differentially expressed genes. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis, functional enrichment analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, immune infiltration analysis and construction and analysis of protein-protein interaction network were performed. Draw gene expression heatmaps. Comparative toxicogenomics database analysis was performed. Two hundred thirty-five differentially expressed genes were obtained. According to gene ontology analysis, in biological process analysis, they were mainly enriched in positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process, reproductive cell development, vasculogenesis, vascular morphogenesis, and inflammatory response. In cellular component analysis, they were mainly enriched in leading edge of growing cell, extracellular matrix binding organelle, F-actin capping protein complex. In molecular function analysis, they were mainly concentrated in receptor ligand activity, cytokine receptor binding. In Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes analysis, they were mainly enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, heme biosynthesis. In weighted gene co-expression network analysis, the soft threshold power was set to 9. Thirty modules were generated. PF4, NR1I2, TTC16, H3C12, KLRB1, CYP21A2 identified by 4 algorithms (MCC, EPC, closeness, stress). Heatmap of core gene expression showed that H3C12, KLRB1, PF4, NR1I2 were all underexpressed in samples of ultrasound-treated chronic venous ulcers and overexpressed in samples of untreated chronic venous ulcers. Comparative toxicogenomics database analysis showed that H3C12, KLRB1, PF4, NR1I2 are associated with thrombophlebitis, phlebitis, vascular malformations, metabolic syndrome, ulcers, and inflammation. In samples of chronic venous ulcer tissue treated with ultrasound, NR1I2 shows low expression, while in samples of chronic venous ulcer tissue without ultrasound treatment, it shows high expression. This finding suggests a potential role of NR1I2 in the process of ultrasound therapy for chronic venous ulcers, which may be related to the therapeutic effect of ultrasound therapy on chronic venous ulcers.

Cardiovascular disease is currently the number one cause of death endangering human health. There is currently a large body of research showing that the development of cardiovascular disease and its complications is often accompanied by inflammatory processes. In recent years, epitranscriptional modifications have been shown to be involved in regulating the pathophysiological development of inflammation in cardiovascular diseases, with 6-methyladenine being one of the most common RNA transcriptional modifications. In this review, we link different cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion, with inflammation and describe the regulatory processes involved in RNA methylation. Advances in RNA methylation research have revealed the close relationship between the regulation of transcriptome modifications and inflammation in cardiovascular diseases and brought potential therapeutic targets for disease diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, we also discussed different cell aspects. In addition, in the article we also describe the different application aspects and clinical pathways of RNA methylation therapy. In summary, this article reviews the mechanism, regulation and disease treatment effects of m6A modification on inflammation and inflammatory cells in cardiovascular diseases in recent years. We will discuss issues facing the field and new opportunities that may be the focus of future research.
PURPOSE:To detect the presence of the lung surface active substance in human lung tissue, by acting monocronal primary antibody on lung tissue and treating the same with a biotinized secondary antibody before acting enzyme labelled avidine thereon. CONSTITUTION:About 90% of a lung surface active substance is lipid such as phospholipid or neutral lipid and about 10% thereof is protein. when lipid is removed from the lung surface active substance, water-insoluble protein called as apoprotein is obtained. Because this protein is excellent in specifity as compared with phospholipid and can be detected with high sensitivity, it is suitable as the marker of the lung surface active substance. A monocronal antibody is one specifically recognizing said apoprotein. Hereupon, a monocronal primary antibody recognizing the apoprotein of the lung surface active substance is acted on lung tissue at first and, subsequently, this lung tissue is treated with the biotinized secondary antibody recognizing the primary antibody and, thereafter, enzyme labelled avidine is acted thereon. By this method, the presence of the lung surface active substance in human lung tissue can be detected by an enzyme-antibody method.
BACKGROUND: Enteric nervous system (ENS) has been closely associated with the neuro-immune response and is currently considered a reliable target for intestinal inflammation. Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) nerves are involved in inflammatory diseases by releasing nitric oxide (NO). EphB2 expression and density of innervation of the mucosal layer are positively correlated with the severity of intestinal inflammatory responses. In this study, we hypothesized that a EphB2-mediated mechanism may regulate enteric immunity through modulation of nNOS nerves.
METHODS: Firstly, the Western blot (WB) method was employed to quantify EphB2 expression in the intestinal mucosal layer of DSS mice and assess alterations in nerve fiber activation and density. Immunofluorescence (IF) double staining with nNOS and neuronal marker PGP9.5 was conducted to measure nNOS nerve fiber density within the intestinal mucosal layer of mice. Subsequently, in vivo experiments were performed to investigate the inhibitory or activatory effect of EphB2Fc or EphrinB2Fc on EphB2 expression and activation. Immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed the interaction between EphB2 and nNOS nerves. WB and IF experiments were carried out to evaluate both inflammatory conditions of mouse colonic mucosa following intervention with EphB2Fc/EphrinB2Fc as well as changes in nNOS nerve fibers expression. Finally, in vitro experiments, neurally-mediated inflammation was assessed in the organ bath system by activating intestinal mucosal innervation through Veratridine (VER) and electrical field stimulation (EFS) techniques for 3 h. The activation of nNOS nerves was inhibited by nitroindazole (7NI). WB was employed to detect changes in the expression of inflammatory factors in the intestinal mucosal layer in EphB2Fc/EphrinB2Fc treated mice and control group.
KEY RESULTS: We found that the expression of EphB2 and density nNOS nerve fibers in the intestinal mucosa were positively correlated with the colitis response. Blocking (EphB2Fc)/activating (EphrinB2Fc) EphB2 in vivo significantly reduced/increased the density of nNOS nerve fibers and expression of inflammatory factors in colonic mucosa of DSS treated mice. In vitro, blocking nNOS nerves activation attenuated the inflammatory reaction induced by either EFS or EphB2.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provided evidence that EphB2 mediated regulation of innate immunity-ENS crosstalk might represent an attractive target for novel therapeutic strategies in ulcerative colitis.
Trivariate joint modeling for longitudinal count data, recurrent events, and a terminal event for family data has increased interest in medical studies. For example, families with Lynch syndrome (LS) are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), where the number of polyps and the frequency of colonoscopy screening visits are highly associated with the risk of CRC among individuals and families. To assess how screening visits influence polyp detection, which in turn influences time to CRC, we propose a clustered trivariate joint model. The proposed model facilitates longitudinal count data that are zero-inflated and over-dispersed and invokes individual-specific and family-specific random effects to account for dependence among individuals and families. We formulate our proposed model as a latent Gaussian model to use the Bayesian estimation approach with the integrated nested Laplace approximation algorithm and evaluate its performance using simulation studies. Our trivariate joint model is applied to a series of 18 families from Newfoundland, with the occurrence of CRC taken as the terminal event, the colonoscopy screening visits as recurrent events, and the number of polyps detected at each visit as zero-inflated count data with overdispersion. We showed that our trivariate model fits better than alternative bivariate models and that the cluster effects should not be ignored when analyzing family data. Finally, the proposed model enables us to quantify heterogeneity across families and individuals in polyp detection and CRC risk, thus helping to identify individuals and families who would benefit from more intensive screening visits.
The S2DS is a prospective observational study of people with prediabetes or T2DM recruited from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the neighbouring University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Cardiac Rehabilitation Program. Participants recruited from Sunnybrook are receiving care from services there (e.g. Family Medicine, Endocrinology, and the Sunnybrook Diabetes Education Centre). Participants recruited from the Toronto Rehab are undertaking a 6-month stepped hybrid (home and clinic based) aerobic plus resistance exercise intervention as part of a program at that site (e.g. the Diabetes, Exercise, and Healthy Lifestyle Program).

Study assessments are conducted at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 18 months. Main outcomes include cognitive performance, assessed using a detailed neurocognitive battery, and mood symptoms assessed via research criteria for a depressive episode and self-report instruments. Other lifestyle factors are also examined, including physical activity, sleep quality, diet, and subjective stress. Diabetes complications and characteristics are monitored, as are all concomitant medications and supplements. With permission, participant data are linked prospectively to public health records to ascertain long-term outcomes and health services utilization.

The cohort is characterized using biological, neuroimaging and biometric measures. Fasting morning blood and urine samples are taken at each assessment. Serum, plasma, whole blood, and white blood cells are bio-banked for biochemical, genetic and other analyses. The MRI study includes a 1.5 hr MRI scan at 3.0 T. Sequences performed include structural imaging (T1, T2, DTI and FLAIR) and resting state functional MRI. Two optional sub-studies are offered: a cerebrovascular reactivity MRI protocol, and a sleep quality and apnea protocol (baseline, 6 month and 18 month visits). The sleep study uses an overnight wearable sleep monitor.

New liq. or semisolid oily bases or suspensions for medicaments or cosmetic prepsn. contain 1% dissolved oxygen, being otherwise satd. with an inert gas. The prepns. are produced by heating the oily bases or suspensions to 30-100 degrees C (before or after the addn. of active ingredients and, possibly, adjuvants), substantially removing dissolved oxygen by evacuation, subsequently saturating with an inert gas, and cooling to room temp. while stirring in an inert gas atmos. Replacement of most or all of the dissolved oxygen by an inert gas is a cheap and technically simple method of protecting oxygen-sensitive components against decomposition and in many cases avoids the need for antioxidants. An example describes the prodn. of oxyphenbutazone oily suspension in which the content of dissolved oxygen is less than 0.1%, the remainder having been replaced by N2.
BACKGROUND: The Amazonas state/AM and Manaus rank among the highest AIDS detection rates in Brazil. High proportion of HIV infected blood donors and transmission clusters of multidrug antiretroviral/ARV resistant viruses were described in HEMOAM blood donors, a main Amazonas public blood bank. Recent and long-term infections among previously genotyped donors are reported.
METHODS/MATERIALS: The recency immunoassay Lag Avidity EIA (Maxim, USA) was employed. Clinical/CD4/viral load medical file data of the main local HIV management center (FMT-HVD) and ARV treatment/ART data were reviewed.
RESULTS: Among 142 HIV-blood donors, chronic infection predominated (n = 87; 61.3 %), 79 based on LAg EIA and 8 undisclosed HIV identified in FMT-HVD records, mostly young adult, single males, 4 repeat donors, all ART-naive. Recent infections represented 30.3 % (n = 43), 39 identified by LAg EIA and 4 immunologic windows (antibody negative/NAT/RNA positive). The overall profile of recent and long-term infections was similar, including moderate rate of transmitted drug resistance/TDR, however with multiple resistance mutations to more than one ARV-class, suggesting ART/failure.
DISCUSSION: Recent/acute and undisclosed/long-term HIV infections represent blood safety alerts suggesting test-seeking behavior of at-risk populations. Early ART use in Brazil, can turn HIV diagnosis more challenging representing a blood transfusion risk in the highly endemic Brazilian Amazon.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a diverse range of disabilities and lacks effective treatment options. In recent years, exosomes derived from bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have emerged as a promising cell-free therapeutic approach for treating ischemic brain injury and other inflammatory conditions. Macrophage/microglial pyroptosis has been identified as a contributing factor to neuroinflammation following SCI. The therapeutic potential of BMSC-derived exosomes in macrophage/microglia pyroptosis-induced neuroinflammation, however, has to be determined. Our findings demonstrate that exosomes derived from BMSCs can enhance motor function recovery and mitigate neuroinflammation subsequent to SCI by upregulating the expression of autophagy-related proteins and inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes in macrophage/microglia. Moreover, miR-21a-5p is markedly increased in BMSCs-derived exosomes, and knocking down miR-21a-5p in BMSCs-derived exosomes eliminates the beneficial effects of administration; upregulation of miR-21a-5p in BMSCs-derived exosomes enhances the beneficial effects of administration. Mechanistically, miR-21a-5p positively regulates the autophagy of macrophage/microglia by reducing PELI1 expression, which in turn inhibits their pyroptosis. This research provides novel evidence that exosomes derived from BMSCs can effectively suppress macrophage/microglia pyroptosis through the miR-21a-5p/PELI1 axis-mediated autophagy pathway, ultimately facilitating functional restoration following SCI. In particular, our constructed miR-21a-5p overexpression exosomes greatly improved the efficacy of BMSCs-derived exosomes in treating spinal cord injury. These results establish a foundation for the prospective utilization of exosomes derived from BMSCs as a novel biological intervention for spinal cord injury.
This study is to investigate if inhaling the scent of a typical medical alcohol prep pad will alleviate nausea as compared to a identically packaged normal saline prep pad for the Emergency Department patient with nausea. The study length will be 10 minutes long. The subjects will take several deep nasal inhalations at the 0, 2, 5 minute marks. Level of nausea will be recorded during these times and at 10 minutes. The investigators will also assess satisfaction of the intervention. As in previous post operative unit studies,the hypothesis is that there will a significant difference in levels of nausea between the alcohol pad group versus the normal saline pad group.

BACKGROUND: This study examined the relation between declines in physical and cognitive performance in older people.
METHODS: A population-based cohort of 7 483 adults (average age 72 years) were interviewed. Physical performance was assessed with 3 standardized tests and a combination of 4 cognitive tests was used to assess cognitive function. Rate of change in physical and cognitive performance was determined for each interval between interviews. In mixed effects linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, race, and study time, and change in each factor was used to predict change in the other factor. We examined time associations by using changes in the predictor measured at 1, 2, or 3 intervals before the outcome change.
RESULTS: Decline in cognitive function was most strongly predicted by physical decline in the same 3-year interval. The decline in cognitive function was weaker in the 1-time interval after the decline in physical function and was not significant in later intervals. When a decline in cognitive function was used to predict a decline in physical function, the results were similar. The strongest association occurred in the same time interval so that declines in cognitive and physical performance tend to occur together.
CONCLUSIONS: Decline in cognition and physical function seem to occur together in a short timeframe. It is important to investigate the reasons for these changes that are short-term to guide the development of interventions.
