Myocardial infarction (MI) is the primary source of death in cardiovascular diseases. Myricitrin (MYR) is a phenolic compound known for its antioxidant properties. This study aimed to investigate the impact of MYR alone or combined with exercise on a rat model of MI and its underlying mechanism. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 5 groups: sham-operated (Sham), MI-sedentary (MI-Sed), MI-exercise (MI-Ex), MI-sedentary + MYR (MI-Sed-MYR) and MI-exercise + MYR (MI-Ex-MYR). MI was induced through ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery. The treatment with exercise or MYR (30 mg/kg/d) gavage began one week after surgery, either individually or in combination. After 8 weeks, the rats were assessed for cardiac function. Myocardial injuries were estimated using triphenyltetrazolium chloride, sirius red and Masson staining. Changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), apoptosis and Nrf2/HO-1 pathway were analyzed by ROS kit, JC-1 kit, TUNEL assay, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Both MYR and exercise treatments improved cardiac function, reduced infarct size, suppressed collagen deposition, and decreased myocardial fibrosis. Additionally, both MYR and exercise treatments lowered ROS production induced by MI, restored ΔΨm, and attenuated oxidative stress and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Importantly, the combination of MYR and exercise showed greater efficacy compared to individual treatments. Mechanistically, the combined intervention activated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. These findings suggest that the synergistic effect of MYR and exercise may offer a promising therapeutic approach for alleviating MI.
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the prevalence of cancer worry in the general and at-risk population. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of cancer worry in a sample of individuals at increased risk of developing hereditary cancer, determine differences in cancer worry by socio-demographic characteristics and assess the relationship between cancer worry and psychological distress.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was designed with 895 patients. The Cancer Worry Scale (CWS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for psychological distress and sociodemographic characteristics were examined. The multiple linear regression model was developed to explore what variables were predicted for cancer worry. To identify variables associated with higher cancer worry scores, a logistic model was fitted.
RESULTS: In the at-higher-risk sample of hereditary cancer, the mean of CWS was 10.20 (SD: 3.70). The significant predictors for cancer worry were gender, age, previous psychiatric treatment, patients affected by cancer and having children. In the sample, 38% of patients had higher scores on cancer worry, the variables associated were patients affected by cancer compared, women, widow/divorced participants, less than secondary school, patients with previous psychiatric treatment and patients less than 55 years old. Using the HADS cutoff score 29% of the sample showed significant psychological distress, more anxiety (35%) than depressive (22%) symptomatology. Psychological distress showed a higher variability (36%) on cancer worry.
CONCLUSION: Findings highlighted distinctive profiles in socio-demographic characteristics according to the degree of cancer worry; therefore, genetic counseling should continue to be provided to address cancer worry and relieve psychological distress.
BACKGROUND: Evidence has shown increased morbidity and mortality for patients with COVID-19 infection within 7 weeks of surgery. However, no studies have specifically investigated the effects of COVID-19 in microsurgical outcomes. This study evaluated thrombotic and overall complications after free tissue transfer for a variety of indications in patients with and without previous COVID-19 infection.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed in adult patients with or without a history of COVID-19 infection who underwent microsurgical reconstruction between 2017 and 2022. Patients with a history of COVID-19 infection were matched to controls based on age, gender, race, body mass index, history of diabetes, coronary artery disease, hypertension, Caprini score, tobacco use, and flap indication.
RESULTS: From 2017 to 2022, 35 patients had a documented history of COVID-19. Matched case analysis determined a 4.8 times increased odds ratio of postoperative complications in the COVID-19 group compared with controls (p = 0.002). Significantly, more patients with COVID-19 experienced total or partial flap loss and anastomotic issues (COVID-19: 7/35, Control: 0/35; p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in incidence of VTE (COVID-19: 1/35, Control: 0/35; p = 0.493). Of note, 62.9% of the COVID-19 group were discharged on anticoagulants (versus 14.3% in the control group [p < 0.001]).
CONCLUSION: COVID-19 has dire, long-lasting effects on virtually every organ system, chief among them, the microcirculation. Further studies are needed to fully determine the extent and influence of COVID-19 on complex procedures such as free tissue transfer and how to optimize the screening, workup, and postoperative care to guard against the associated thrombotic consequences.
After the physician involved in the study asks the participants for their biochemical tests (FBC, HbA1C, LDL-C, HDL-C, Total K, Triglyceride), the outpatient dietitian will give routine nutrition education to the participants. In addition, a data collection form including socio-demographic information, health history, nutrition history and height, weight, waist circumference measurements will be made and filled by the thesis student.

Subject will receive a single oral dose (200mg) of Treatment A on Day 1, followed by a 7-day washout period. On Day 8, the subject will begin the second treatment period by receiving a single oral dose (200 mg) of Treatment P.
Smoking cessation treatment is highly cost effective and pharmacotherapy is universally recommended for treatment of nicotine dependence. However, the majority of smokers are unable to quit even with treatment. Existing and new pharmacotherapies along with prevention efforts are key to improving smoking cessation rates and reducing the premature morbidity and mortality associated with tobacco use. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of bupropion as an addition to a standard smoking cessation treatment of CBT and nicotine replacement. In addition, this study will determine if bupropion improves an individual's odds of quitting smoking, and whether this is achieved through its impact on negative mood states associated with depression.

Participants in this double-blind study will be randomly assigned to receive either bupropion or placebo. CBT sessions and individual meetings with a study physician will last for 13 weeks. Treatment with either bupropion or placebo will begin at the first CBT meeting and will continue for 13 weeks. Treatment with the nicotine replacement patch will begin at the second CBT meeting and will continue for 10 weeks. Participants will have monthly follow-up visits throughout the year following Week 13. During the follow-up period, participants will continue to take either bupropion or placebo but will no longer undergo CBT or nicotine replacement. If participants are unable to quit smoking, or become more depressed during the follow-up phase, they will be offered treatment with Zoloft, and will continue to be monitored for the duration of the follow-up year. If participants have been unsuccessful in using Zoloft, they will be offered another antidepressant at the judgement of the clinician.
The invention relates to the field of medicine and pharmaceutics and, more specifically, to the creation of a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a suspension for the prevention and treatment of problems in the physiological and reparative regeneration of tissues of the musculoskeletal system, namely bone tissue and articular cartilage, and, in particular, for the treatment of osteoporosis. The pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of problems in the physiological and reparative regeneration of tissues of the musculoskeletal system, namely bone tissue and articular cartilage, comprises dimephosphon (dimethyl oxobutyl phosphonyl dimethylate), calcium carbonate in the form of the substance "Mitsellat of calcium carbonate and magnesium", a sodium salt of a polysaccharide, namely sodium hyaluronate, and water in the following component ratio (wt%): dimephosphon - 1.0-20.0; "Mitsellat of calcium carbonate and magnesium" - 1.0-30.0; sodium hyaluronate - 0.3-1.0; excipients - 6.0-18.0; water – the remainder. The pharmaceutical composition contains alcohol, nipagin and fructose as excipients. Research shows that the proposed pharmaceutical composition has a marked specific pharmacological effect, exhibiting a reparative and regenerative effect with respect to bone tissue in animals, and does not have a marked general toxic effect in different doses and routes of administration to laboratory animals. The composition does not exhibit an irritant effect, and no sensitizing effect has been observed. The proposed pharmaceutical composition is effective and safe and can be used to prevent and treat problems in the physiological and reparative regeneration of tissues of the musculoskeletal system,  inter alia  in diabetes mellitus patients.
Ovarian cancer, especially high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC), is the leading cause of death in gynecological malignancies worldwide, but does not significantly benefit from the latest advances in cancer immunotherapy. Although lymphocyte infiltration of HGSCs is associated with higher survival rates, the nature of the antigen that can elicit an immune response against HGSCs is not clear. Described herein are novel tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) shared by a large proportion of ovarian tumors. Most of the TSAs described herein (> 80%) are derived from aberrantly expressed unmutated genomic sequences, such as introns and intergenic sequences that are not expressed in normal tissues. Nucleic acids, compositions, cells, and vaccines derived from these TSAs are described. Uses of TSA, nucleic acids, compositions, cells and vaccines for treating ovarian cancer are also described.
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become an important health issue in adolescents. Although several parameters and indices have been investigated for the evaluation of NAFLD in adults, these indices are limited in adolescents. In this study, body mass index, waist circumference, triponderal mass index, HbA1c, homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (Tg/HDL), the lipid accumulation product (LAP) index, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the aminotransferase (AT) index were examined together, and their diagnostic values in the clinical treatment of NAFLD were compared.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventynine adolescents (10-19 years old) with obesity who were admitted to a pediatric clinic between January and August 2022 and who were diagnosed with exogenous obesity without any comorbidities were included in the study. The presence of NAFLD was evaluated by liver magnetic resonance imaging. The laboratory findings were obtained retrospectively from system records. Parameters were compared between the NAFLD (+) and NAFLD (-) groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the most effective factors for NAFLD treatment. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed with significant indices. Sex, HOMA-IR, TyG and AT indices were evaluated together with multivariate analysis to design a diagnostic scale.
RESULTS: HbA1c, HOMA-IR, AT indices and TyG indices were greater in the NAFLD (+) group (P = 0.012; P = 0.001; P = 0.012; P = 0.002, respectively). There was a positive correlation between liver fat percentage and HOMA-IR, the TyG index, the AT index, and Tg/HDL. According to the regression analysis, male sex and elevated HOMA-IR were determined to be significant risk factors for the presence of NAFLD. A probability scale with 4 parameters [sex, HOMA-IR, the TyG index, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)] was designed with 82.5% specificity and 80% sensitivity.
CONCLUSION: Evaluation of the HOMA-IR and TyG indices, especially in high-risk patients, will support the diagnosis of NAFLD via ultrasonography. A probability scale with ALT, HOMA-IR, TyG, and sex data with a diagnostic accuracy of 80% may aid in the diagnosis of NAFLD in adolescents with obesity.
BACKGROUND: Higher early-life animal protein intake is associated with a higher childhood obesity risk compared to plant protein intake. Differential DNA methylation may represent an underlying mechanism.
METHODS: We analysed associations of infant animal and plant protein intakes with DNA methylation in early (2-6 years, N = 579) and late (7̄-12 years, N = 604) childhood in two studies. Study-specific robust linear regression models adjusted for relevant confounders were run, and then meta-analysed using a fixed-effects model. We also performed sex-stratified meta-analyses. Follow-up analyses included pathway analysis and eQTM look-up.
RESULTS: Infant animal protein intake was not associated with DNA methylation in early childhood, but was associated with late-childhood DNA methylation at cg21300373 (P = 4.27 × 10¯8, MARCHF1) and cg10633363 (P = 1.09 × 10¯7, HOXB9) after FDR correction. Infant plant protein intake was associated with early-childhood DNA methylation at cg25973293 (P = 2.26 × 10-7, C1orf159) and cg15407373 (P = 2.13 × 10-7, MBP) after FDR correction. There was no overlap between the findings from the animal and plant protein analyses. We did not find enriched functional pathways at either time point using CpGs associated with animal and plant protein. These CpGs were not previously associated with childhood gene expression. Sex-stratified meta-analyses showed sex-specific DNA methylation associations for both animal and plant protein intake.
CONCLUSION: Infant animal protein intake was associated with DNA methylation at two CpGs in late childhood. Infant plant protein intake was associated with DNA methylation in early childhood at two CpGs. A potential mediating role of DNA methylation at these CpGs between infant protein intake and health outcomes requires further investigation.
RFNP was created by researchers. RFNP comprises positive language, a positive environment, relaxation exercise and methods of coping with stress (Mete et al., 2017; Mete et al., 2015; Lazarus, 1984). This programme has a content which reducing women's anxiety and pain. Such programmes are expected to enhanced level of the knowledge about ovarian cancer and its surgery. Women are usually admitted to the clinic two days before surgery. The program duration was for 2 days each day with two sessions, of 6 hr each. There are four relaxation exercises in the program because repetition is recommended for the relaxation exercises to be effective. Deep breathing exercise, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery were used in program. In addition, RFNP is divided into four sections so that the information is not intensely transferred to women.
Aim 1 is to determine the optimal intensity of Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) in stroke patients in terms of safety. We will investigate the optimal spatial-peak temporal-average intensity/ISPTA in the range of 0(or sham) W/cm2 to 8 W/cm2. Safety will be investigated by assessing clinically detectable signs and symptoms by monitoring vital signs and surveying subjects with a questionnaire before and after each stimulation session, and additionally by detecting subclinical neuronal injury using MRI/DWI. Aim 1 requires up to 36 subjects.

Aim 2 is to determine the optimal frequency of LIFU stimulation in stroke patients in terms of cortical excitability. Stroke subjects undergo each of the 5 frequency levels (0.35 MHz; 0.5 MHz; 0.75 MHz, 1.0 MHz and 1.5 MHz) on 5 different days with at least one day washout. The intensity (ISPTA) will set up at the level that is determined from Aim 1. Cortical excitability is measured by the amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) from the Abductor Pollicis Brevis (ABP) muscle of the affected side. MEPs will be recorded pre- and post-stimulation to determine the optimal intensity for maximal cortical excitability from the hemisphere where the lesion is located. Aim 2 requires 18 subjects.
The gross tumor volume of the nasopharynx and neck nodes (GTVnx and GTVnd) were delineated according to the tumor extension. The CTV was divided into CTV1 (high risk) and CTV2 (low risk) according to the biological behavior and characteristics of early-stage NPC. The prescribe doses of GTVnx, GTVnd, CTV1 and CTV2 were 68Gy, 60-66Gy, 60Gy and 50-54Gy in 30 fractions, respectively.
1,237,021. Measuring homogeneity of mixtures. SPOFA, UNITED PHARMACEUTICAL WORKS. March 18, 1969, No. 14025/69. Heading G1N. [Also in Divisions A5 and B1] The homogeneity of a mixture is monitored by incorporating therein a magnetized or non- magnetized ferromagnetic material (e.g. ferrite powder) and determining its degree if dispersion by an instrument in the mixing container sensitive to the presence of ferrous material. A single such instrument (e.g. a sensor coil) will generate a signal of variable intensity which becomes constant when the mixture is homogeneous or three such instruments may be sequentially switched into circuit, homogeneity being indicated by a signal of the same intensity from each. The signals may be amplified and used to switch off the mixer motor when homogeneity is reached. The coils may be connected in a tuned circuit to control the frequency of an oscillator.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to identify variables that place patients at higher risk for mortality following emergent infra-inguinal bypass. Further, this study will create a risk score for mortality following emergent infra-inguinal bypass to help tailor postoperative and long-term patient management.
METHODS: In the Vascular Quality Initiative, we identified 2126 patients who underwent emergent infra-inguinal artery bypass. Two primary outcomes were investigated: 30 day mortality following emergent infra-inguinal bypass; and 1-year mortality following emergent infra-inguinal bypass. The first step in analysis was univariable analysis for each outcome with χ2 analysis for categorical variables and Student t-test for comparison of means of ordinal variables. Next, binary logistic regression analysis was performed for each outcome utilizing variables that achieved a univariable P value ≤ .10. Factors with a multivariable P value ≤ .05 were included in the risk score, and points were weighted and assigned based on the respective regression beta-coefficient in the multivariable regression.
RESULTS: Variables with a significant multivariable association (P < .05) with 1-year mortality were: increasing age; body mass index less than 20 kg/m2; coronary artery disease; active hemodialysis at time of presentation; anemia at admission; prosthetic conduit for emergent bypass; postoperative myocardial infarction; postoperative acute renal insufficiency; perioperative stroke; baseline non-ambulatory status; new onset hemodialysis requirement perioperatively; need for bypass revision or thrombectomy during index admission; lack of statin prescription at discharge; lack of antiplatelet medication at discharge; and, lack of anticoagulation at time of hospital discharge. Pertinent negatives included all sociodemographic variables including rural living status, insurance status, and Area Deprivation Index home area. The risk score achieved an area under the curve of 0.820, and regression analysis of the risk score achieved an overall accuracy of 87.9% with 97.7% accuracy in predicting survival, indicating the model performs better in determining which patients will survive rather than precisely determining who will experience 1-year mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: Discharge medications are the primary modifiable variable impacting survival after emergent infra-inguinal bypass surgery. In the absence of contraindication, all these patients should be discharged on antiplatelet, statin, and anticoagulant medications after emergent infra-inguinal bypass as they significantly enhance survival. Social determinants of health do not impact survival among patients treated with emergent infra-inguinal bypass at Vascular Quality Initiative centers. A risk score for mortality at 1 year after emergent infra-inguinal bypass has been created that has excellent accuracy.
Asthma and obesity are common coexisting conditions with increasing prevalence and substantial morbidity. This study examines the inter-relationship between illness and treatment beliefs in asthma and obesity and how they influence self-management behaviors. Overweight and obese adults ≥ 18 years with asthma were recruited from primary care and pulmonary practices in New York, NY and Denver, CO (n = 219). Path analysis was used to examine the relationship between asthma, weight and exercise-related illness and medication beliefs and SMB. Necessity beliefs about asthma medications and diet were associated with better medication adherence and healthier dietary behaviors (β = 0.276, p = < 0.001, β = 0.148, p = 0.018 respectively) whereas concerns about these self-care activities were associated with poorer adherence and worse dietary behaviors (β = - 0.282, p < 0.001, β = - 0.188, p = 0.003 respectively). We found no statistically significant association of exercise behaviors with any other weight or asthma illness or treatment beliefs. Our study demonstrates that necessity and concerns about treatment are associated with adherence in asthma and obesity. The lack of association of exercise behaviors with any asthma or weight related beliefs may reflect limited awareness of the impact of weight on asthma and warrants additional research.
