BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine coupled with the awareness of the potential risk of Healthcare Workers acquiring Hepatitis B Virus infection, some HCWs never get vaccinated. Generally, hepatitis B vaccination coverage globally is below the expected level as adherence has remained poor in various healthcare settings, especially in developing countries. The objective of this study was to assess the completion of a three-dose Hepatitis B virus vaccination cycle and associated factors among healthcare workers in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted and included 363 healthcare workers selected using probability sampling procedures. The participants were recruited from five facilities within the Greater Accra Region in the first half of 2018. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect data which was analyzed using SPSS version 21. The proportion of healthcare workers receiving the recommended 3 doses of the hepatitis vaccine was computed. The multivariable analysis procedure identified the factors associated with adherence to the receipt of three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine. Odds ratios were estimated with corresponding confidence intervals with the level of significance set at 0.05.
RESULTS: A total of 340 sample units were included in the analysis. Most of the participants (252/340, 74.1%) were females, mainly nurses/midwives (162/340, 47.6%) with a mean age of 34.5 (SD ±7.7). A high proportion of the participants (82.7%) have tertiary/post-tertiary level education and ever participated in at least one training workshop on the prevention of blood-borne infections (80.6%). Overall vaccination uptake was 60.9% (207/340) (95% CI = 55.7%-66.1%). Complete vaccination coverage (three doses) was 46.8% (159/340). High-risk perception (AOR = 4.0; 95% CI = 1.3-12.5), and previous training in infection prevention (AOR = 2.8; 95% CI = 1.1-7.5) were significantly associated with adherence to receipt of three doses of hepatitis B vaccine.
CONCLUSION: Adherence to three-dose hepatitis B vaccination cycles is not universal among the healthcare workers in the Greater Accra Region. Receipt of the three-dose regimen is significantly associated with high-risk perception and attendance of training in infectious disease prevention. Interventions to increase risk perception and training in the prevention of blood-borne infections could improve adherence to complete/full vaccination protocol among healthcare workers who are at constant risk of exposure to the hepatitis B virus.
The invention discloses a combined preparation for reversing breast cancer drug resistance and a marker application. The invention determines that FGFR4 is an important driving gene for treating drug resistance of breast cancer HER2 by in vitro and in vivo whole genome CRISPR/Cas9 library screening. Inhibition of FGFR4 can significantly enhance the sensitivity of breast cancer to anti-HER2 therapy. Mechanistically, the level of RNA m6A hypomethylation modification in breast cancer drug-resistant cells mediates FGFR4 up-regulation, and FGFR4 drives the drug resistance of breast cancer to anti-HER2 treatment by phosphorylating GSK-3 beta and activating beta-catenin/TCF 4 signals. Furthermore, we found that anti-FGFR 4 and anti-HER2 had a synergistic effect in the treatment of drug-resistant breast cancer by patient-derived xenografts and organoid susceptibility testing. These results define the mechanism of resistance to anti-HER2 therapy and provide a novel strategy for overcoming resistance to anti-HER2 therapy in breast cancer by inhibiting FGFR 4.
In lymphedema, proinflammatory cytokine-mediated progressive cascades always occur, leading to macroscopic fibrosis. However, no methods are practically available for measuring lymphedema-induced fibrosis before its deterioration. Technically, CT can visualize fibrosis in superficial and deep locations. For standardized measurement, verification of deep learning (DL)-based recognition was performed. A cross-sectional, observational cohort trial was conducted at a teaching university hospital. The protocol of this study was approved by the University Hospital Institutional Review Board and was registered at the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS), www. clini caltr ials. gov (NCT04811677: https:// clini caltr ials. gov/ ct2/ show/ NCT04 811677? term= NCT04 81167 7\& draw= 2\& rank=1). All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. The trial conformed to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki. Patients were included if they were clinically diagnosed with unilateral limb lymphedema and had undergone BEI analysis and CT scanning. The subjects provided written informed consent for publication of the case details. Data were collected as close to the CT scanning date as possible. Patients who were diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, bilateral limb involvement, vascular disease, or local infection were excluded.

After narrowing window width of the absorptive values in CT images, SegNet-based semantic segmentation model of every pixel into 5 classes (air, skin, muscle/water, fat, and fibrosis) was trained (65%), validated (15%), and tested (20%). Then, 4 indices were formulated and compared with the standardized circumference difference ratio (SCDR) and bioelectrical impedance (BEI) results. In total, 2138 CT images of 27 chronic unilateral lymphedema patients were analyzed.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the top causes of mortality globally. Gut inflammation is one crucial risk factor that augments CRC development since patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease have an increased incidence of CRC. The role of immunoglobulin (Ig)A in maintaining gut homeostasis and preventing inflammation has been well established. Our earlier work demonstrated that the marginal zone and B1 cell-specific protein (MZB1) promotes gut IgA secretion and its absence results in pronounced dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced colitis. In the present study, we explored the role of MZB1 in CRC development using the azoxymethane (AOM)/DSS-induced CRC model. We observed an increase in both the number and size of the tumor nodules in Mzb1-/- mice compared with Mzb1+/+ mice. The increase in CRC development and progression in Mzb1-/- mice was associated with reduced intestinal IgA levels, altered gut flora, and more severe gut and systemic inflammation. Oral administration of the monoclonal IgA, W27, alleviated both the gut inflammation and AOM/DSS-induced CRC. Notably, cohousing Mzb1+/+ and Mzb1-/- mice from the 10th day after birth led to similar CRC development. Our findings underscore the pivotal role of MZB1-mediated IgA secretion in suppressing the onset and progression of CRC triggered by gut inflammation. Moreover, our study highlights the profound impact of microbiota composition, modulated by gut IgA levels, on gut inflammation. Nonetheless, establishing a direct correlation between the severity of colitis and subsequent CRC development and the presence or absence of a particular microbiota is challenging.
The effects of suppressing c-fos oncogene expression on drug or radiation resistant mammalian cells are described. A2780S human ovarian carcinoma cells with resistance to actinomycin D were isolated and the resultant A2780AD cells exhibited the MDR phenotype. A hammerhead ribozyme designed to cleave fos RNA cloned into the pMAMneo plasmid was transfected into A2780AD cells. Induction of the ribozyme resulted in decreased expression of c-fos, followed by that of mdr-1, c-jun, and p53. Reversal of the MDR phenotype by the anti-mdr ribozyme occurred one-fourth as rapidly as that induced by the anti-fos ribozyme. These studies demonstrate the primacy of the c-fos oncogene in maintaining the resistant phenotype in human cancer cells. Thus, down regulation of fos/jun will make resistant cancer cells more sensitive to conventional treatment, i.e., cancer chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation.
The invention discloses an extraction process of gynura bicolor polyphenol and a separation and purification method thereof. Supercritical CO of Begonia fimbristipula polyphenol 2 The optimal extraction process comprises the following steps: the extraction pressure is 35MPa, the extraction time is 2h, the extraction temperature is 40 ℃, and CO is added 2 The flow rate is 20L/h. The optimal purification process of the gynura bicolor polyphenol comprises the steps of taking DM130 resin as optimal resin, enabling the concentration of a sample loading solution to be 1mg/mL, enabling the pH value to be 3.1, enabling the flow rate of the sample loading solution to be 2mL/min, enabling the volume fraction of desorbed ethanol to be 70%, enabling the volume to be 60mL and enabling the flow rate to be 2 mL/min. Under the condition, the content of the polyphenol of the gynura divaricata is increased from 14.73 percent in the crude extract to 45.21 percent in the purified extract. In vitro antioxidant tests show that the removal rate of DPPH and ABTS free radicals by the gynura bicolor polyphenol is improved along with the increase of the concentration of the gynura bicolor polyphenol. In-vivo antioxidant tests show that the gynura bicolor polyphenol extract can obviously improve the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT in serum and liver tissues of an aging model group and reduce the content of MDA.
A growing body of evidence suggests that insulin plays a role in normal memory processes and that insulin abnormalities may contribute to cognitive and brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Interestingly, insulin administered to the nasal cavity is transported within a few minutes into the brain, but does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels.

This trial will consist of a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group trial in which 30 participants with AD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) receive twice daily intranasal administrations of insulin aspart (20 IU) or placebo (saline), two times per day for 12 weeks. All participants will appoint a "support person" to answer a collateral questionnaire and supervise the administration of the study drug. All participants and study partners will undergo the intensive, structured training program in the self-management of intranasal insulin administration. Cognitive testing and blood collection will occur at baseline, after 6 weeks of treatment, and at the end of the 12 week treatment period. Participants will also receive a lumbar puncture to measure AD biomarkers in the subject's cerebral spinal fluid.
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) or inactive tuberculosis, is a common disease found in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are being considered for renal transplant (RT). Approximately 5-15% of patients with LTBI will convert to an active form of TB, especially in patients with a weak immune system. Given the morbidity and mortality associated with active TB disease along with the public health threat, LTBI is routinely treated in pre-transplant candidates. While treatment with isoniazid (INH) for 9 months is the mainstay of therapy, its use poses some clinical challenges due to the prolonged duration of treatment, risk of adverse drug effects, and suboptimal compliance and treatment completion. In addition to these challenges, the consequences of delays in transplant due to the time it takes to complete current treatment options are notable. Most recently, there is a large international, randomized, prospective, phase 3 clinical trial by Swindell et al., that found that 1 month of INH and Rifapentine (1m-INH-RPT) compared to the standard 9-month regimen of INH in HIV patients with LTBI had similar TB incidence in both treatment arms but higher compliance rate and fewer adverse events for patients taking 1m-INH-RPT. Given these findings, if a similar study can be conducted in renal transplant candidate population, it can alleviate the aforementioned challenges being faced in RT candidates. Thus, this is a single-arm, open-label, prospective clinical trial investigating the safety, compliance, pharmacokinetics of 1m-INH-RPT in RT candidates.
Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs including cephalexin capsules, cephalexin for oral suspension, and cephalexin tablets should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold). When cephalexin capsules, cephalexin for oral suspension, or cephalexin tablets are prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be taken exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by cephalexin capsules, cephalexin for oral suspension, cephalexin tablets, or other antibacterial drugs in the future.

Diarrhea is a common problem caused by antibiotics which usually ends when the antibiotic is discontinued. Sometimes after starting treatment with antibiotics, patients can develop watery and bloody stools (with or without stomach cramps and fever) even as late as two or more months after having taken the last dose of the antibiotic. If this occurs, patients should contact their physician as soon as possible.
Histopathology is commonly used in forensic medicine. Only few studies are available in the literature about the correlation between skin wounds histopathology and survival time or other medicolegal data. The aim of this study was to illustrate the usefulness of histopathological analysis of skin wounds in forensic daily practice and to evaluate its correlation with the clinical and police investigation data. In this single-center, retrospective, and descriptive study, we included 198 forensic pathology cases, from the files of the Legal Medicine and Biopathology Departments of the University Hospital of Nancy, with a total of 554 skin samples. Basing on the police investigations (n = 43), the median survival time between the main related trauma and death was 83 min. The histopathological analysis concluded to 2% of post-mortem lesions (absence of hemorrhage) and 55% of perimortem or undetermined lesions (hemorrhage without inflammation); 8% of the lesions had an estimated time interval between more than 10 min and several hours, 22% between several hours and several days, and 14% between several days and several weeks. Histopathological dating was statistically associated with wound location (p < 0.01), the type of injury, hypothermia, positive toxicology, histopathological hepatic lesions, and survival time (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the histopathological analysis of skin wounds allowed to propose a survival time in almost half of cases, with a significant correlation with the police investigation-based estimation of survival time, but also other parameters such as wound location or toxicology. It however lacks of accuracy, and further studies are needed to develop new markers, notably based on immunohistochemistry.
Participants of this group are healthy volunteers. Subjects will have one single visit with a psychiatric evaluation and a cerebral MRI examination with phosphorus 31 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in order to investigate membrane phospholipid metabolism and cellular energy metabolism.
The study will explore the research questions using qualitative semi-structured interviews with women diagnosed with gynaecological cancer. A study information sheet, reply slip and a reply-paid envelope will be sent to eligible patients by their secondary care clinician, with reminders sent after two weeks. Recruitment and interviewing will take place until data saturation occurs (three interviews with no new shared beliefs) on the main themes. Interviews will take place at a mutually convenient time and place, ideally face to face but could be conducted over the telephone if preferred by the interviewee or if social distancing measures are still in place due to Covid-19. Further verbal and written information regarding the study will be provided prior to interview commencement and participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions. Those agreeing to take part in a face to face interview will sign a consent form in duplicate (one for the participant and one copy for the research team). Those participating in a telephone interview will be read each point of the consent form and asked to agree to each one. This will be recorded, transcribed and used as evidence of consent. Interviews will be conducted flexibly allowing for shorter interviews where necessary and participants will be reminded that the interviews can be terminated at any time. The participant can withdraw from the study at any time: data already collected with consent will be retained and used in the study. No further data will be collected, or any other research procedures carried out on or in relation to the participant. All interviews will be digitally audio recorded and transcribed verbatim by the CI or NHSG approved transcription service. The data will be stored and managed using NVivo software. Interviews will follow a semi-structured topic guide based on the COM-B behaviour change model concepts of capability, opportunity and motivation. Changes can be made to the topic guide as interviews are conducted. Data familiarisation will be by reading and rereading transcripts and by listening to the recorded interviews. Data will be analysed using iterative deductive and inductive methods combining Framework analysis and thematic analysis.

A contact will be provided for patients should they become distressed because of contact by or participation in the study. Although all data collected will stored and analysed with the strictest of confidence in line with the General Data Protection Regulations (2018), if details of any improper conduct or poor practice are disclosed the research team may be obliged to report this. The participant's GP will not be informed. Study participants will have any travel costs reimbursed.
This case report presents a detailed analysis of a 31-year-old male patient who presented with a complex array of clinical symptoms, including proteinuria, hematuria, edema, and kidney insufficiency. Despite undergoing multiple tests, the results for anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies yielded negative findings. Subsequently, kidney biopsy pathology revealed a distinct diagnosis of atypical anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease with membrane hyperplasia. Treatment was initiated with a comprehensive approach involving high doses of corticosteroids therapy and cyclophosphamide (CTX). However, contrary to expectations, the patient's kidney function exhibited rapid deterioration following this therapeutic regimen. The culmination of these complications necessitated a pivotal transition to maintenance hemodialysis. This case underscores the intricate challenges associated with diagnosing and managing rare and atypical presentations of kidney disorders. The negative anti-GBM antibody results and subsequent identification of atypical anti-GBM nephropathy highlight the need for tailored diagnostic strategies to discern subtle nuances within complex clinical scenarios. Additionally, the unexpected response to the treatment regimen emphasizes the potential variability in individual patient responses, underlining the necessity for vigilant monitoring and adaptable treatment strategies. This case report contributes to the evolving understanding of atypical kidney pathologies and the complexities involved in their management.
