OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of polymorphisms in SEC16B rs633715, DNAJC27 rs713586, FTO rs11642015 and MC4R rs6567160 with overweight and obesity in Han Chinese preschool children.
METHODS: A total of 749 Han Chinese preschool children from Henan and Guizhou Province of Long-term Health Effects Assessment Project of Infants and Toddlers Nutritional Pack were selected for the study and divided into an overweight and obese group and a normal control group in 2022. rs633715, rs713586, rs11642015 and rs6567160 were genotyped using Kompetitive allele-specific PCR(KASP) technology. The distribution of genotypic polymorphisms was compared using the χ~2 test. The association between the four loci and overweight and obesity in preschool children was analyzed using a multifactorial logistic regression model.
RESULTS: The statistical analysis revealed a significant disparity(P<0.05) in the distribution of genotypic polymorphisms of rs633715 and rs6567160 among preschoolers in Henan and Guizhou Province. CC heterozygous mutant and recessive models at rs633715 locus were associated with susceptibility to overweight and obesity in preschool children [OR and 95% CI 2.915(1.163-7.305), and 2.997(1.226-7.323), respectively, both P<0.05]. TC heterozygous mutant and dominant models at rs713586 locus were also associated susceptibility to overweight and obesity in preschool children(OR and 95% CI were 2.362(1.054-5.289)and 2.362(1.054-5.289), respectively, both P<0.05). rs11642015 and rs6567160 loci were not associated with susceptibility to overweight and obesity in preschool children(P>0.05). The result of the analysis of the cumulative effect of rs633715 and rs713586 showed that the number of genotypes carrying the risk genotype was positively associated with the risk of overweight and obesity in preschool children(P_(trend)<0.01).
CONCLUSION: Among Han Chinese preschool children, SEC16B rs633715 and DNAJC27 rs713586 were associated with susceptibility to overweight and obesity in preschool children. Moreover, rs633715 and rs713586 had a cumulative effect on susceptibility to overweight and obesity in preschool children, the number of risk genotypes carried was positively associated with childhood overweight and obesity risk.
OBJECTIVE: The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and other targeted therapeutics plays a pivotal role in treatment management for individuals diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, some patients may experience fewer favorable outcomes and treatment resistance. Our work aims to use whole transcriptome sequencing to evaluate the variations in gene expression patterns among individuals with CML based on their response to TKI therapy.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ten blood samples were obtained from two groups of patients diagnosed with CML: those at the initial diagnosis stage and those at the recurrence stage. RNA extraction was performed on all samples and used for next-generation sequencing. The data analysis was performed using the DESeq2 R program.
RESULTS: In total, 499 genes were identified as having statistically significant differences in expression levels between the two groups. Of these, 122 genes exhibited upregulation, and 377 genes exhibited downregulation. We observed a notable dysregulation in the expression levels of NTRK2 (with a fold change more significant than +5). A significant proportion of the genes that were expressed demonstrated involvement in several biological processes, including the cell cycle, PI3K-AKT signaling system, cellular senescence, oxidative phosphorylation, microRNA in cancer, FOXO signaling pathway, P53 signaling pathway, and other related pathways.
CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate a correlation between signaling pathways and the development of treatment resistance in patients with CML. These pathways exhibited enhanced efficacy in transmitting signals downstream of the TKI target, BCR-ABL. Several target genes require additional validation in a more extensive cohort study to verify their correlation with TKI resistance. The present research highlights that many BCR-ABL-independent pathways may be correlated with resistance, thus enhancing the prospective therapy options for patients with CML.
Potentially severe psychiatric adverse reactions may occur with systemic corticosteroids, including AGAMREE. Symptoms typically emerge within a few days or weeks of starting treatment and may be dose-related. These reactions may improve after either dose reduction or withdrawal, although pharmacologic treatment may be necessary. 

In Study 1, psychiatric adverse reactions were reported in 21% of patients on AGAMREE 6 mg/kg, 10% of patients on AGAMREE 2 mg/kg, and 14% of patients on placebo. Psychiatric adverse reactions reported on AGAMREE resolved without requiring treatment or drug discontinuation. 

In adults, psychiatric adverse reactions with corticosteroids usually involve hypomanic or manic symptoms (e.g., euphoria, insomnia, mood swings) during treatment and depressive episodes after discontinuation of treatment. In children receiving corticosteroids, psychiatric adverse reactions usually involve hyperactivity symptoms (e.g., irritability, aggressive behavior, increased frequency of tantrums, and mood swings) and sleep disorder during treatment. Inform patients or caregivers of the potential for behavioral and mood changes and encourage them to seek medical attention if psychiatric symptoms develop, especially if depressed mood or suicidal ideation is suspected.
Sevoflurane will be initiated, at 8% for anesthesia induction until loss of consciousness will achieve, at which point it will be discontinued. After the loss of consciousness remifentanil will be administered to Group sevoflurane-remifentanil in the form of a 1 µg/kg intravenous bolus.
PURPOSE: To obtain a suppressant for melanin, containing an extract of Armeniacae Semen or Pseudocydonia sinensis Schneid. as an active ingredient, having high safety and stability and excellent in suppressing effects on the melanin. CONSTITUTION: This suppressant for melanin contains an extract of Armeniacae Semen or Pseudocydonia sinensis Schneid. as an active ingredient. The Armeniacae Semen or Pseudocydonia sinensis Schneid. is especially preferably a dried substance, which is preferably pulverized for use. The extraction treatment can be carried out by adding, e.g. water or a hydrophilic organic solvent (e.g. methanol or acetone) in an amount of about 1.5 to about 50 times that of the Armeniacae Semen or Pseudocydonia sinensis Schneid. thereto, allowing the mixture to stand or stirring the mixture at ambient temperature to the boiling temperature of the solvent used for about 5min to about 24hr.
Acute intermittent hypoxia will be provided to the subject by delivering 15 brief exposures (\~60 seconds) of hypoxic air alternated with 15 brief exposures (\~60 seconds) of room air. The amount of oxygen delivered during hypoxic exposures may range from 15%-9% fraction of inspired oxygen, compared to 21% oxygen in normal atmospheric air. This is followed by a 30 minute rest period and then 60 minutes of computerized cognitive training.
Robotic microsurgery is an emerging field in reconstructive surgery, which provides benefits such as improved precision, optimal ergonomics, and reduced tremors. However, only a few robotic platforms are available for performing microsurgical procedures, and successful nerve coaptation is still a challenge. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is an innovative reconstructive procedure that rewires multiple nerves to remnant stump muscles, thereby reducing neuroma and phantom limb pain and improving the control of bionic prostheses. The precision of surgical techniques is critical in reducing axonal sprouting around the coaptation site to minimise the potential for neuroma formation. This study reports the first use of a microsurgical robotic platform for multiple nerve transfers in a patient undergoing TMR for bionic extremity reconstruction. The Symani robotic platform, combined with external microscope magnification, was successfully used, and precise handling of nerve tissue and coaptation was easily feasible even in anatomically challenging environments. While the precision and stability offered by robotic assistance may be especially useful for nerve surgery, the high economic costs of robotic microsurgery remain a major challenge for current healthcare systems. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the feasibility of using a robotic microsurgical platform for nerve surgery and transfers, where precise handling of tissue is crucial and limited space is available. Future studies will explore the full potential of robotic microsurgery in the future.
Both physiologic information from fractional flow reserve (FFR) and anatomical information from intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in assessing intermediate coronary stenotic lesions are useful. Functional significance of a coronary stenosis is determined by both the severity of a stenosis and the amount of myocardium supplied. Therefore, when the functional significance of a lesion is assessed by lumen area measured by IVUS, different criteria should be applied according to lesion location and anatomical variations of the coronary artery. However, previous studies included only patients with proximal lesions or small vessel disease, and the sample sizes were too small to assess these differences. In a recent study, the investigators have shown that optimal IVUS criteria defining the functional significance (FFR \< 0.8) of intermediate coronary stenoses is different according to their locations of the coronary tree. Herein, the investigators performed this study to validate the our results and to generalize the IVUS criteria defining functional significance of intermediate coronary stenosis in a different location of coronary tree in a larger sample size.
After providing their written informed consent, participants were randomized to receive either a healthy Nordic diet or a control diet for 8 days. All meals were provided and minimal food preparation was required. Participants picked up their food outside the study kitchen every 3 days. Before and after the intervention, health-related self-rated questionnaires were completed. For every meal during the intervention, participants completed a questionnaire on their perceptions of the meal. Every evening a questionnaire was completed to assess dietary adherence. At the end of the study, a final evaluation questionnaire was completed to assess participants' perceptions of the diet and study as a whole.
Sequential training group will first undergo aerobic exercise training for 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of computerized cognitive training. The difficult level of this training program will be adjusted automatically and continuously based on each participant's level of performance.
Subjects received durvalumab (1500 mg IV every 4 weeks \[Q4W\] for 12 cycles). Poly-ICLC (1 mg) was administered intratumorally on days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 15 and intramuscularly on days 17, 22, and 24 of Cycle 1 as well as intramuscularly on days 1, 3, 8, 10, 15, 17, 22 and 24 of Cycle 2 and on days 1 and 4 of Cycle 3.
Thrombotic/thromboembolic complications may result from increases in platelet counts with Nplate use secondary to drug-induced thrombocytosis, regardless of the underlying disease. There is insufficient evidence to establish a relationship between maximum platelet threshold and risk of thrombotic/thromboembolic complications. Portal vein thrombosis has been reported in patients with chronic liver disease receiving Nplate.

In patients with ITP, to minimize the risk for thrombotic/thromboembolic complications, do not use Nplate in an attempt to normalize platelet counts. Follow the dose adjustment guidelines [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].

In the absence of myelosuppression induced by acute exposure to radiation, Nplate administration might cause excessive increases in platelet counts and may cause thrombotic and thromboembolic complications [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].
Biallelic loss of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) defines a metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) subtype. It remains unclear, however, whether CDK12 loss drives prostate cancer (PCa) development or uncovers pharmacologic vulnerabilities. Here, we show Cdk12 ablation in murine prostate epithelium is sufficient to induce preneoplastic lesions with lymphocytic infiltration. In allograft-based CRISPR screening, Cdk12 loss associates positively with Trp53 inactivation but negatively with Pten inactivation. Moreover, concurrent Cdk12/Trp53 ablation promotes proliferation of prostate-derived organoids, while Cdk12 knockout in Pten-null mice abrogates prostate tumor growth. In syngeneic systems, Cdk12/Trp53-null allografts exhibit luminal morphology and immune checkpoint blockade sensitivity. Mechanistically, Cdk12 inactivation mediates genomic instability by inducing transcription-replication conflicts. Strikingly, CDK12-mutant organoids and patient-derived xenografts are sensitive to inhibition or degradation of the paralog kinase, CDK13. We therein establish CDK12 as a bona fide tumor suppressor, mechanistically define how CDK12 inactivation causes genomic instability, and advance a therapeutic strategy for CDK12-mutant mCRPC.
Low frequency ( 1 HZ) rTMS of the right prefrontal cortex. On each of 15 consecutive week days (apart from weekends), the patients received two 60-second1-Hz trains delivered at an intensity of 110% of motor thresholdand with a 180 seconds' intertrain interval.
There will be one group of patients. Each side of the patients' face will be randomly allocated to either topical silymarin 0.7% and microneedling or topical silymarin 0.7% alone.
Gentamicin (GM) is one of the commonly used antibiotics in the aminoglycoside class but is ototoxic, which constantly impacts the quality of human life. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) as a redox cofactor produced by bacteria was found in soil and foods that exert an antioxidant and redox modulator. It is well documented that the PQQ can alleviate inflammatory responses and cytotoxicity. However, our understanding of PQQ in ototoxicity remains unclear. We reported that PQQ could protect against GM-induced ototoxicity in House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells in vitro. To evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial function, ROS and JC-1 staining, oxygen consumption rate (OCR), and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) measurements in living cells, mitochondrial dynamics analysis was performed. GM-mediated damage was performed by reducing the production of ROS and inhibiting mitochondria biogenesis and dynamics. PQQ ameliorated the cellular oxidative stress and recovered mitochondrial membrane potential, facilitating the recovery of mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics. Our in vitro findings improve our understanding of the GM-induced ototoxicity with therapeutic implications for PQQ.

Dental caries in children continues to affect a significant portion of the world population, especially in developing countries. There are many techniques used for dental caries treatment. The conventional method is to remove caries and prepare the cavity using dental burs. Disadvantages of this method; however, include the patients' repulsion of drilling, and possible thermal changes on tooth surface that may have an effect on the dental pulp tissues. In addition, the drilling technique frequently requires local anesthesia injections and sometimes results in the removal of sound tooth tissues. To overcome these problems and preserve the healthy dental tissues, the chemo-mechanical caries removal method was developed. The advantage by chemomechanical caries removal include less traumatic, less need local anesthesia, reduced chance of dental pulp exposure. And also it could be benefit to medical compromised patients.

Papacarie® is a new chemo-mechanical technique for caries removal with few published research and case reports. A randomized controlled trial is therefore needed to determine the efficacy of its use in general population. The aims of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of a chemo-mechanical system (Papacarie®) for caries removal in comparison to the conventional drilling method.
Pain and frailty are closely linked. Chronic pain is a risk factor for frailty, and frailty is a risk factor for pain. People living with frailty also commonly have cognitive impairment, which can make assessment of pain and monitoring of pain management even more difficult. Pain may be sub-optimally treated in people living with frailty, people living with cognitive impairment and those with both these factors. Reasons for sub-optimal treatment in these groups are pharmacological (increased drug side effects, drug-drug interactions, polypharmacy), non-pharmacological (erroneous beliefs about pain, ageism, bidirectional communication challenges), logistical (difficulty in accessing primary care practitioners and unaffordable cost of drugs), and, particularly in cognitive impairment, related to communication difficulties. Thorough assessment and characterisation of pain, related sensations, and their functional, emotional, and behavioural consequences ("phenotyping") may help to enhance the assessment of pain, particularly in people with frailty and cognitive impairment, as this may help to identify who is most likely to respond to certain types of treatment. This paper discusses the potential role of "digital phenotyping" in the assessment and management of pain in people with frailty. Digital phenotyping is concerned with observable characteristics in digital form, such as those obtained from sensing-capable devices, and may provide novel and more informative data than existing clinical approaches regarding how pain manifests and how treatment strategies affect it. The processing of extensive digital and usual data may require powerful algorithms, but processing these data could lead to a better understanding of who is most likely to benefit from specific and targeted treatments.
A dispensing device includes a housing, a pushing member, a guiding member and a driving member. The housing contains a medicine outlet and a medicine inlet. The pushing member is inserted into the medicine outlet. The guiding member is disposed in one end of the housing adjacent to the medicine inlet, and includes a first end and a second end disposed relatively, wherein the first end is located at one end of the guiding member away from the medicine inlet. The driving member comprises a guiding block and an elastic member, wherein the guiding block connected with the first end and abutted by the elastic member. The pushing member moves the guiding block to displace the first end connected to the guiding block in the displacement direction to open the drop passage. When the force to the guiding block disappears, the elastic element provides a restoring force toward the medicine outlet direction to the guiding block, so that the first end to connected to the guiding block be displaced in the opposite direction to the displacement direction to close the medicine discharge passage.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease with major neurocognitive and cardiovascular sequelae. Obesity is a major risk factor for OSA, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Given the rising prevalence of obesity and the lack of adequate therapies for some afflicted patients, further mechanistic work is clearly required. Bariatric surgery is being done increasingly with compelling outcome data emerging; however, clinical response to weight loss is highly variable. In some patients, OSA is not present at baseline, despite morbid obesity, in other patients, OSA resolves following bariatric surgery, while other patients have persistence of OSA despite weight loss, and still other patients can experience re-emergence of OSA in long term follow-up studies after bariatric surgery. OSA can occur due to several major pathophysiological factors including pharyngeal anatomy, pharyngeal dilator muscle dysfunction, unstable ventilatory control, end- expiratory lung volume and arousal threshold. As a result considerable complexity exists in the obesity/OSA relationship, suggesting the need for further research. First, the investigators will perform a baseline evaluation of pathophysiological traits among obese people prior to weight loss surgery. Because some people will have OSA and some will not, the investigators will define the potential mechanisms underlying OSA and potential protective mechanisms among obese people without OSA (pharyngeal critical closing pressure Pcrit primary outcome). Second, the investigators will re-evaluate these same individuals from the standpoint of sleep study and pathophysiological traits six months following bariatric surgery after a variable degree of weight loss. The investigators anticipate that some OSA patients will have resolution of OSA whereas others will have persistence of disease. For non-OSA patients undergoing weight loss, the investigators will have a positive control group which will allow the investigators to account for non-specific effects of weight loss. This aim will allow the investigators to test the hypothesis that pharyngeal mechanics is the predominant mechanism whereby weight loss leads to improvement in OSA. Third, the investigators will perform magnetic resonance imaging during wakefulness at functional residual capacity, total lung capacity and residual volume on participants at baseline and 6months following bariatric surgery. This aim will allow the investigators to perform structure/function assessments in our participants, to define the impact of weight loss on pharyngeal anatomy, and to quantify the lung volume dependence of the upper airway before and after weight loss. The acquired data will also be used for computational modeling including dynamic assessment of pharyngeal function during tidal breathing. As a result of the proposed research, the investigators are confident that the investigators will gain major insights into the as yet unanswered question "why does obesity (sometimes) cause sleep apnea". This research will have major therapeutic implications as it will allow the investigators to individualize therapy for afflicted patients.
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for rapid, high volume, and continuous manufacture of multilamellar or paucilamellar lipid vesicles. Lipophilic phase is inputted into a mixing chamber (20), which has a substantially cylindrical inner surface (330). This inputting occurs through an inlet orifice (320) via a feed line (310). Aqueous phase is inputted into another of the inlet orifices. The inlet orifice for one of the two phases must be a tangential orifice. Flow of the separate phases is allowed to intersect to provide shear mixing of the phases to produce lipid vesicles. The resultant lipid vesicles are removed from the mxing chamber through an outlet orifice (350), and an associated exit tube (170).
