The present invention relates to a mineral composition and a method of preparing same. The method comprises the steps of: mixing 100 parts by weight of deep ocean water or deep sea water, Dead sea water, fossil salt water, marine deep water, peninsula deep water, coastal basement bedrock salt water, inland basement bedrock salt water, sea water, land salt water, mineral water, drinking water, fresh water, underground water or river water, water with salt melted therein with 1-15 parts by weight of seaweed, 0.1-10 parts by weight of a vegetable oil, 0.1-10 parts by weight of a soap from an animal fat, 0.1-10 parts by weight of a soap from a vegetable oil, 0.1-5 parts by weight of glycerin, 0.1-5 parts by weight of alcohol, 0.1-5 parts by weight of baking powder, and 0.1-10 parts by weight of salt; putting the mixture into a stainless tank equipped with a valve at a lower drain; heating the stainless tank to boil the mixture; adhering a material shaped into a plurality of wings or propellers to a stainless rod; mounting the stainless rod on an upper center of the stainless tank after installing the stainless rod on a electric motor; and rotating the stainless rod at high speed for 40-50 minutes with the wings submerged in salt water. By using the method, a lumped composition formed by the combination of minerals is separated from the salt water after seaweed, vegetable oil, soap, glycerin, alcohol, and baking powder are mixed with salt and broken down into fine particles. As the lumped mineral composition is not soluble in the salt water and is lighter than the salt water, the lumped mineral composition floats in the salt water and the salt water sinks. The cream-type mineral composition is obtained at this time when the valve is opened and the salt water is drained. Therefore, the mineral composition of the present invention can be effective in supplementing minerals as well as can be used for foods, cosmetics, medicines, and disease prevention.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss of renal function in which gut dysbiosis is involved. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) may be a promising alternative for restoring gut microbiota and treating CKD. This study evaluated the changes in CKD progression in patients treated with FMT. Patients with diabetes and/or hypertension with CKD clinical stages 2, 3, and 4 in this single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial (NCT04361097) were randomly assigned to receive either FMT or placebo capsules for 6 months. Laboratory and stool metagenomic analyses were performed. A total of 28 patients were included (15 FMT and 13 placebo). Regardless of CKD stages, patients responded similarly to FMT treatment. More patients (53.8%) from the placebo group progressed to CKD than the FMT group (13.3%). The FMT group maintained stable renal function parameters (serum creatinine and urea nitrogen) compared to the placebo group. Adverse events after FMT treatment were mild or moderate gastrointestinal symptoms. The abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria decreased whereas Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Roseburia spp. increased in the FMT group. CKD patients showed less disease progression after FMT administration. The administration of oral FMT in patients with CKD is a safe strategy, does not represent a risk, and has potential benefits.
Despite advances in medical technologies, Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) continues to be a problem for neonatal intensive care units. Analysis of crying sounds may be a valuable tool for predicting neonatal disease. However, the characteristics of crying in newborns with HIE are still unclear. One of the factors limiting the ability to focus on that subject is the lack of commercially available infant cry database for research. Also, another reason that complicates the classification is the varying characteristics of infant cry. Accordingly, crying sounds were recorded from 35 infants and demographic characteristics of the study groups are presented as well as the numerical representation of spectral features. Experiments reveal that the existence of HIE causes distinctive variation in energy, energy entropy and spectral centroid features of the utterances; which leads us to conclude that the presented combination of spectral features would function well with any supervised or unsupervised machine learning algorithm.
Background and Objectives: Hematological disorders, especially chronic anemia and coagulation disorders, are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Severe anemia is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this special group of patients and is also responsible for decreased hope and quality of life. Despite the use of appropriate iron therapy and erythropoietin-stimulating agents, red blood cell transfusion is occasionally required, usually in the setting of acute bleeding or for correction of perioperative anemia. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the progression of chronic diseases and worsened the outcomes for patients with nephrological conditions. As a precautionary measure against infections, patients' access to hospitalization for their procedures has been reduced and their chronic complications, including hematological abnormalities, have gotten out of control. Materials and Methods: Our retrospective observational study was designed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on blood transfusion for the patients with chronic kidney disease hospitalized in our emergency county medical unit, over a period of four years (2019-2022) who were admitted or at least referred for evaluation to the Nephrology department. We also followed the measures adopted to ensure the necessary blood products during this time. Results: Between 2190-2022, a total of 24,096 hospitalized patients were transfused at the Emergency County Clinical Hospital in Constanta, Romania. Meanwhile, in the nephrology and other medical or surgical wards of our medical unit, 1590 CKD patients were transfused with different blood derivatives. During the pandemic years, as expected, the number of transfused patients and transfused blood units decreased by 4% and 7%, respectively, in comparison with the pre-pandemic year, 2019. Unlike the general trend of transfusion activity, more patients with CKD transfused in 2022 (580) than before the pandemic (414 in 2019), and the number of blood units was higher in 2022 than in 2019 for red blood products and plasma. Between 2020-2022, from the total number of transfused patients in our study, 254 with CKD patients (16%) and 798 non-CKD (4%) died in-hospital. Conclusions: The adaptive strategies implemented to ensure the necessary blood products in the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic mainly included restrictive transfusion and limitation of elective surgical procedures. The subject matter of the article is important as blood shortages are a problem that healthcare workers may encounter in future pandemics.
The main goal of this research is to advance understanding of how stroke changes both the structure and function of the brain. Further, the investigators will determine which is the key driver of recovery of arm function after stroke: changes in the structure of the brain or changes in how brain regions interact with one another. Together, these data will advance the investigators understanding of how neural systems support recovery from stroke. The investigators will use a MRI technique that allows us to assess the health of a brain structure called myelin. This structure is important as it allows information to travel down nerves faster; the more myelin the quicker the signal can be conducted. The investigators aim is to test whether or not movement training can restore myelin in the brain. If movement training does restore myelin in the brain, the investigators will have identified an important new target for rehabilitation interventions.

All participants will complete baseline measures about past month behavior and if eligible will be assigned to the intervention condition. This intervention consists of a single brief in-person intervention coupled with 4 weeks of text messaging related to individualized goals about alcohol use and sexual behavior. Follow-up assessments are scheduled for within 1 week of completion of the text messaging component of the intervention. Primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and message components. Secondary outcomes are changes in frequency of unprotected intercourse and heavy drinking episodes.
The invention relates to systems and methods for production of compounds by yeast and other organisms. In one approach yeast engineered for production of a compound of commercial value is cultured together with a cellulosic bacteria, and the yeast uses a metabolic product produced by the bacteria as a carbon source. Methyl halides are an example of compounds that may be produced by this process. The invention also relates to production of organic compounds using genetically engineered organisms expressing a S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent methyl halide transferase. In one approach the organism, halides and a carbon source are incubated in a cultivation medium under conditions in which methyl halide is produced. The methyl halide may be collected and converted into non-halogenated organic molecules.

BACKGROUND: Oral ulcers are a common side effect of chemotherapy and affect patients' quality of life. While stem cell transplantation is a potential treatment for oral ulcers, its efficacy is limited as the stem cells tend to remain in the affected area for a short time. This study aims to develop a treatment for oral ulcers by using trimethyl chitosan (TMC) hydrogel with human tonsil-derived stem cells (hTMSCs) to increase the therapeutic effect of stem cells and investigate their effectiveness.
METHODS: Animals were divided into four experimental groups: Control, TMC hydrogel, hTMSCs, and hTMSCs loaded in TMC hydrogel (Hydrogel + hTMSCs) (each n = 8). Oral ulcers were chemically induced by anesthetizing the rats followed by injection of dilute acetic acid in the right buccal mucosa. After confirming the presence of oral ulcers in the animals, a single subcutaneous injection of 100 µL of each treatment was applied to the ulcer area. Histological analyses were performed to measure inflammatory cells, oral mucosal thickness, and fibrosis levels. The expression level of inflammatory cytokines was also measured using RT-PCR to gauge therapeutic the effect.
RESULTS: The ulcer size was significantly reduced in the TMC hydrogel + hTMSCs group compared to the control group. The stem cells in the tissue were only observed until Day 3 in the hTMSCs treated group, while the injected stem cells in the TMC Hydrogel + hTMSCs group were still present until day 7. Cytokine analysis related to the inflammatory response in the tissue confirmed that the TMC Hydrogel + hTMSCs treated group demonstrated superior wound healing compared to other experimental groups.
CONCLUSION: This study has shown that the adhesion and viability of current stem cell therapies can be resolved by utilizing a hydrogel prepared with TMC and combining it with hTMSCs. The combined treatment can promote rapid healing of oral cavity wounds by enhancing anti-inflammatory effects and expediting wound healing. Therefore, hTMSC loaded in TMC hydrogel was the most effective wound-healing approach among all four treatment groups prolonging stem cell survival. However, further research is necessary to minimize the initial inflammatory response of biomaterials and assess the safety and long-term effects for potential clinical applications.
Systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy is commonly performed in ovarian cancer patients. However, in early ovarian cancer systematic lymphadenectomy can be an unnecessary procedure which can cause perioperative morbidity and mortality. In the other hand, initially diagnosed early stage ovarian cancer can be upstaged after staging surgery with systematic lymphadenectomy. For preventing unnecessary lymphadenectomy in early ovarian cancer, sentinel lymph node procedure may be an alternative which can prevent major complications without missing the real stage of the disease.

Aim of our study is to assess the feasibility and accuracy of lymph node evaluation with sentinel lymph node technique in early ovarian cancer patients. Pelvic and paraaortic spaces will be evaluated for the sentinel lymph nodes after the injection of the tracers in infundibulopelvic and utero-ovarian ligaments. Than routine systematic pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy will be performed with the routine practice.

To explore Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection status and its relationship with lifestyle habits and dietary factors in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis. Six hundred thirty-eight patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, who were admitted to our hospital from March 2021 to April 2023, were selected for the study. All patients underwent the 13C urea breath test. The relationship between the detection rate of Hp infection and the clinical characteristics, lifestyle habits, and dietary factors of the patients was analyzed. Among the 638 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, 531 patients were tested positive for Hp infection, the positive rate for Hp infection was approximately 83.23%. Analyzing the clinical characteristics of the patients, it was found that age, family history of gastric cancer, degree of chronic inflammation, degree of glandular atrophy, presence of low-grade dysplasia, and intestinal metaplasia all have an impact on the positive detection rate of patients (P < .05). Analyzing the patients' lifestyle habits, it was found that BMI, smoking history, alcohol consumption, preference for spicy food, dining location, consumption of pickled foods, frequent consumption of grilled/barbecued foods, preference for strong tea, consumption of sweets, and work-related stress had an impact on the positive rate of Hp infection in patients (P < .05). The discovery showed that the levels of total protein, albumin, hemoglobin, cholesterol, and the intake of livestock and poultry meat, seafood, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, and fats have an impact on the positivity rate of Hp infection in patients (P < .05). A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed, and it was found that patients' age, family history of gastric cancer, degree of chronic inflammation, degree of glandular atrophy, presence of low-grade dysplasia, presence of wasting or obesity, history of alcohol consumption, preference for spicy food, dining location, frequent consumption of strong tea, high work pressure, high intake of fish and seafood, low intake of dairy products, low intake of vegetables, low intake of fruits, and low intake of fats all had an impact on the occurrence of Hp infection in patients (P < .05). There is a certain correlation between patients' lifestyle habits, dietary factors, and clinical characteristics with the occurrence of Hp infection. These factors can assist in the prevention of Hp infection.
Recent findings have suggested that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) substantially reduces cocaine-primed drug-seeking behavior in formerly cocaine dependent rats. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and cue reactivity effects of NAC in cocaine dependent individuals and non-dependent healthy controls.

Participants in this study will include 20 non-treatment seeking cocaine dependent individuals and 12 healthy, non-dependent controls. Participants will be recruited via word-of-mouth and advertisements. Cocaine dependent participants will undergo two 3-day hospital stays. Healthy controls will be followed throughout the study on an outpatient basis. All participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 600 mg of NAC or placebo. Medication or placebo will be administered twice each day. Participants will be evaluated for side effects throughout the study. After administration of the final dose of medication or placebo, participants will undergo cue reactivity testing. This will include a standardized protocol of slides demonstrating cocaine acquisition, use of cocaine, and cocaine-related paraphernalia. Before, during, and after cue reactivity procedures, standardized behavioral and cognitive scales will be used to assess cocaine craving, cocaine seeking, and subjective effects of the cocaine "high." The following week participants will be crossed over so that they will receive the other treatment. All study procedures will be performed a second time. Participants will be contacted during Week 3 in order to determine if any residual side effects or adverse events occurred from the medication and treatment.
