Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a tumor molecular phenotype that evolves from loss of function in the mismatch repair (MMR) proteins through deleterious germline mutations, epigenetic inactivation, or somatic biallelic mutations. This phenotype is characterized by genomic hyper-mutability, increased neoantigen expression, and a favorable, immune-rich tumor microenvironment. These features confer a greater likelihood of response to treatment with the class of agents known as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and, potentially, other immune-based therapeutics. MSI as a predictive biomarker for response to treatment with ICIs ultimately led to the first tissue-agnostic approval of pembrolizumab for advanced, previously treated MSI or deficient MMR (dMMR) tumors. Nevertheless, response to ICIs in dMMR/MSI tumors is not universal. Identifying predictors of response and elucidating mechanisms of immune escape will be crucial to continued successful treatment of this subset. In this review, we aim to describe the pathogenesis and key immunologic features of dMMR/MSI tumors, provide a brief overview of the currently approved treatments, and discuss promising novel immune-based therapeutics currently under investigation.
We present a case of a recurrent inguinal bladder hernia that was previously unsuccessfully operated on three times and was repaired using totally extraperitoneal repair (TEP). A 79-year-old man presented with a right inguinal swelling that had been treated three times on the same side with anterior approaches. Computed tomography confirmed a recurrent inguinal bladder hernia. TEP was performed after identifying the bladder hernia preoperatively, with previous surgeries that used a plug-and-patch technique through an anterior approach. The extraperitoneal approach allowed the bladder to be reduced without injury and the hernia to be safely repaired using a 3D Max® Light Mesh. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no recurrence after 1 year. TEP facilitates the diagnosis and repair of bladder hernias, emphasizing the importance of preoperative diagnosis and the efficacy of endoscopic procedures in bladder hernia repair, even in recurrent cases.

Deficiencies of the early complement components of the classical pathway (CP) are well-documented in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or SLE-like syndromes and severe pyogenic infections. Among these, complete C1s deficiency has been reported in nine cases so far. Here, we describe a 34-year-old male patient who presented with severe, recurrent infections since childhood, including meningitides with pneumococci and meningococci, erysipelas, subcutaneous abscess, and recurrent infections of the upper airways. The patient also exhibited adult-onset SLE, meeting 7/11 of the ACR criteria and 34 of the 2019 EULAR/ACR classification criteria, along with class IV-G (A) proliferative lupus nephritis (LN). A screening of the complement cascade showed immeasurably low CH50, while the alternative pathway (AP) function was normal. Subsequent determination of complement components revealed undetectable C1s with low levels of C1r and C1q, normal C3, and slightly elevated C4 and C2 concentrations. The patient had no anti-C1q antibodies. Renal biopsy showed class IV-G (A) LN with complement C1q positivity along the glomerular basement membranes (GBMs) and weak deposition of IgG, IgM, and complement C3 and C4 in the mesangium and GBM. In an ELISA-based functional assay determining C4d deposition, the patient's absent complement activity was fully restored by adding C1s. The genome of the patient was analyzed by whole genome sequencing showing two truncating variants in the C1S gene. One mutation was located at nucleotide 514 in exon 5, caused by a nucleotide substitution from G to T, resulting in a nonsense mutation from Gly172 (p.Gly172*). The other mutation was located at nucleotide 750 in exon 7, where C was replaced by a G, resulting in a nonsense mutation from Tyr250 (p.Tyr250*). Both mutations create a premature stop codon and have not previously been reported in the literature. These genetic findings, combined with the absence of C1s in the circulation, strongly suggest a compound heterozygote C1s deficiency in our patient, without additional defect within the complement cascade. As in a previous C1s deficiency case, the patient responded well to rituximab. The present case highlights unanswered questions regarding the CP's role in SLE etiopathogenesis.
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), including PRISTIQ, can precipitate serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. The risk is increased with concomitant use of other serotonergic drugs (including triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, meperidine, methadone, tryptophan, buspirone, amphetamines, and St. John's Wort) and with drugs that impair metabolism of serotonin, i.e., MAOIs [see Contraindications (4), Drug Interactions (7.1)]. Serotonin syndrome can also occur when these drugs are used alone.

Serotonin syndrome signs and symptoms may include mental status changes (e.g., agitation, hallucinations, delirium, and coma), autonomic instability (e.g., tachycardia, labile blood pressure, dizziness, diaphoresis, flushing, hyperthermia), neuromuscular symptoms (e.g., tremor, rigidity, myoclonus, hyperreflexia, incoordination), seizures, and gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).

The concomitant use of PRISTIQ with MAOIs is contraindicated. In addition, do not initiate PRISTIQ in a patient being treated with MAOIs such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue. No reports involved the administration of methylene blue by other routes (such as oral tablets or local tissue injection). If it is necessary to initiate treatment with an MAOI such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue in a patient taking PRISTIQ, discontinue PRISTIQ before initiating treatment with the MAOI [see Contraindications (4), Drug Interactions (7.1)].

Monitor all patients taking PRISTIQ for the emergence of serotonin syndrome. Discontinue treatment with PRISTIQ and any concomitant serotonergic agents immediately if the above symptoms occur, and initiate supportive symptomatic treatment. If concomitant use of PRISTIQ with other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, inform patients of the increased risk for serotonin syndrome and monitor for symptoms.

Antimicrobial resistance is a global healthcare challenge that urgently needs the development of new therapeutic agents. Antimicrobial peptides and mimics thereof are promising candidates but mostly suffer from inherent toxicity issues due to the non-selective binding of cationic groups with mammalian cells. To overcome this toxicity issue, this work herein reports the synthesis of a smart antimicrobial dendron with masked cationic groups (Gal-Dendron) that could be uncaged in the presence of β-galactosidase enzyme to form the activated Enz-Dendron and confer antimicrobial activity. Enz-Dendron show bacteriostatic activity toward Gram-negative (P. aeruginosa and E. coli) and Gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 96 µm and exerted its antimicrobial mechanism via a membrane disruption pathway, as indicated by inner and outer membrane permeabilization assays. Crucially, toxicity studies confirmed that the masked prodrug Gal-Dendron exhibited low hemolysis and is at least 2.4 times less toxic than the uncaged cationic Enz-Dendron, thus demonstrating the advantage of masking the cationic groups with responsive immolative linkers to overcome toxicity and selectivity issues. Overall, this study highlights the potential of designing new membrane-disruptive antimicrobial agents that are more biocompatible via the amine uncaging strategy.
The treatment of helicobacter pylori is very important. The routine treatment is quadruple therapy. In recent years, double therapy has appeared and the curative effect is fair. However, antacid generally uses proton pump inhibitor. The proton pump inhibitor needs double dose to achieve good antacid curative effect. The effect of Tegoprazan used for inhibiting gastric acid is better than proton pump inhibitor. At present, some studies use Tegoprazan instead of common proton pump inhibitor, but almost all use double dose of Tegoprazan. In the previous study, we found that the effect of double dose of proton pump inhibitor can be achieved with 50mg QD of Tegoprazan. Therefore, in this study, 50mg QD of Tegoprazan was used to replace the double dose of proton pump inhibitor to observe the antibacterial effect of Tegoprazan on Helicobacter pylori.
Background: Chemotherapy may lead to peripheral neuropathy up to 40% in cancer survivors, especially in some types of patients with cancer. The effect of acupuncture, an ancient Chinese medicine technique, was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the treatment of several diseases. The postulated mechanisms associated with acupuncture in analgesia or neurogenesis are still under investigation. Considering a moderate recommendation for duloxetine in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) based on based on neuropathic pain, and a few treatment options with evidence for CIPN, acupuncture might be another option. Nowadays, only small scale pilot studies provided initial proof of acupuncture in CIPN, particularly in decreasing neuropathic pain and improving neurotoxicity, the study aims to determine the beneficial effects of acupuncture on CIPN with a large-scale, multicenter, randomized sham-controlled clinical trial. Furthermore, the aim of the study will provide evidence for the clinical therapeutic guideline of CIPN in the future.

NAFLD has become the leading cause of chronic liver disease in children, as a direct consequence of the high prevalence of childhood obesity. This study aimed to characterize body composition trajectories from childhood to adolescence and their association with the risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) during adolescence. The participants were part of the 'Chilean Growth and Obesity Cohort Study', comprising 784 children who were followed prospectively from age 3 years. Annual assessments of nutritional status and body composition were conducted, with ultrasound screening for NAFLD during adolescence revealing a 9.8% prevalence. Higher waist circumference measures were associated with NAFLD from age 3 years (p = 0.03), all skin folds from age 4 years (p < 0.01), and DXA body fat measurements from age 12 years (p = 0.01). The fat-free mass index was higher in females (p = 0.006) but not in males (p = 0.211). The second and third tertiles of the fat mass index (FMI) had odds ratios for NAFLD during adolescence of 2.19 (1.48-3.25, 95% CI) and 6.94 (4.79-10.04, 95% CI), respectively. Elevated waist circumference, skin folds, and total body fat were identified as risk factors for future NAFLD development. A higher FMI during childhood was associated with an increased risk of NAFLD during adolescence.
This is a single center study at the UC Davis MIND Institute in patients age 3.5-16 years of age with fragile X syndrome (FXS), funded by a National Fragile X Foundation Grant. It is a controlled trial of minocycline, an antibiotic commonly used in children for infection or for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. We are investigating its use in FXS because it lowers matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) levels, which are high in FXS, and it also strengthens brain connections in the animal models of FXS. We hypothesize that minocycline will likely be helpful for language, behavior and/or cognition in fragile X patients.

The aim of this study is to carry out a double-blind placebo controlled trial of minocycline treatment in children with FXS who are 3.5 to 16 years of age. At baseline, we will assess behavior and perceptual and cognitive development. After the children have been treated for 3 months with either minocycline or placebo, they undergo the same baseline testing. They will then cross over and be treated for a second 3 months. We will carry out testing again at the end of the second 3 month period. We will also assess the side effects of minocycline treatment throughout the study.
INTRODUCTION: Status Epilepticus (SE) stands as a prominent neurological emergency, showing a mortality rate of approximately 20%. Since February 2021, a worldwide vaccination campaign has been launched against the Coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Several possible vaccine-related adverse events have been identified, including neurological manifestations. SE is beginning to surface in literature as an emergent condition in COVID-19-vaccinated individuals, though defined reasons accounting for this correlation are still missing.
METHODS: We report two cases of SE related to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. In addition, we performed a systematic search of the literature to identify the consistency of the association between the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and the SE onset. The following databases were consulted: PubMed and Google Scholar.
RESULTS: Two novel super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) cases associated with the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine were identified. Both patients received the second dose of the vaccine about 14 days prior to SE onset. Patients showed a non-convulsive semiology and were treated with a combined anesthetic and immunomodulant therapy, leading to SE resolution in both cases. The literature review identified seven additional cases, primarily non-convulsive SE. Four patients received the Spikevax (ex-COVID-19 Moderna mRNA -1273 vaccine), 2 patients the BNT162b2 (Pfizer/Biotech), and 1 patient the ChAdOx1-s (AstraZeneca) vaccine. The first vaccine dose (5/7, 71.4%) emerged as the most frequently associated with SE onset, which manifested at an average of 4.5 days (± 3.4) following vaccination. Five patients presented RSE and required continuous intravenous anesthetic drug administration. Resolution of SE was achieved in all cases.
CONCLUSIONS: Status Epilepticus is a rare complication associated with Sars-CoV-2 vaccines. Additional studies are needed to ascertain the potential association between Sars-CoV-2 vaccines and status epilepticus.

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), including hypertensive LVH, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA), is a commonly encountered condition in cardiology practice, presenting challenges in differential diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the importance of echocardiographic evaluation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in distinguishing LVH subtypes including hypertensive LVH, HCM, and CA.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, patients with common causes of LVH including hypertensive LVH, HCM, and CA were included. The role of echocardiographic evaluation of IVC diameter and collapsibility in distinguishing these causes of LVH was assessed in conjunction with other echocardiographic, clinical, and imaging methods.
RESULTS: A total of 211 patients (45% HCM, 43% hypertensive heart disease, and 12% CA) were included in our study. Their mean age was 56.6 years and 62% of them were male. While mean IVC diameter was significantly dilated in CA patients (13.4 mm in hypertensive LVH, 16.0 mm in HCM, and 21.1 mm in CA, p < .001), its collapsibility was reduced (IVC collapsible in 95% of hypertensive patients, 72% of HCM patients, and 12% of CA patients, p < .001). In the analysis of diagnostic probabilities, the presence of both hypovoltage and IVC dilation is significant for CA patients. Although it is not statistically significant, the presence of IVC dilation along with atrial fibrillation supports the diagnosis of HCM.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, although advances in imaging techniques facilitate the diagnosis of LVH, simple echocardiographic methods should never be overlooked. Our study supports the notion that IVC assessment could play an important role in the differential diagnosis of LVH.
A single-arm, single-center, open label Phase 1 study of a 12-week course of SOF/VEL in 10 HCV-infected pregnant women. Treatment will be initiated during the second trimester, reducing the risk of SOF/VEL exposure during organogenesis and ensuring treatment completion by delivery, minimizing the risk of perinatal transmission. The study will be completed in 10 or 11 visits (7 maternal visits, delivery visit and 3 infant visits) which should align with prenatal and postpartum visits. Patients will be screened between 14+0 and 22+6 weeks of gestation confirmed by ultrasound by the time of their enrollment visit who are known to have chronic HCV infection. An HCV RNA level to confirm the patient is actively infected with HCV as well as an HCV genotype will be obtained. A full laboratory evaluation of liver function will be obtained to evaluate for renal failure and decompensated cirrhosis. A Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) panel will be performed to test all patients for evidence of current or prior HBV infection before initiation of HCV treatment. If the inclusion and exclusion criteria are met, the patient will be enrolled into the study between 23+0 and 25+6 weeks' gestation and initiated on a 12 week course of SOF/VEL. Systemic exposure of both VEL and SOF (SOF and inactive metabolite GS-331007) and intracellular SOF (GS-461203) will be assessed by pharmacokinetic sampling at 3, 6, and 9 weeks after first dose. HCV RNA viral load will be assessed at 12 weeks after completion of SOF/VEL treatment. Pregnancy and delivery outcomes will be collected prospectively. Neonatal outcomes will be assessed at birth, 8 weeks, 6 months and 12 months. HCV RNA viral load will be obtained at birth (as available), 1 to 3 months, at 6 months and then again at 12 months only if negative viral loads are not documented at 1 to 3 and 6 months. Neurodevelopmental assessments will be obtained at 6 months and 12 months.
