PURPOSE:To obtain the title composition as a body smell-and-urine smell removing agent ensured to stabilize phytic acid and preserve its efficacy by extracting de-fatted rice bran with water within an acidic range of specific pH and by heating the resultant extraction liquid to coagulate the coexisting protein component followed by eliminating the resultant solid component by the filtration. CONSTITUTION:Firstly, rice brain is squeezed to remove fat therefrom and heated to dryness. Second, acidic water with a pH of 3-5 is added to the dried rice bran followed by agitation, and the agitation is completed at a point when the pH could not be recognized to rise to >=5.7. Third, the resultant extraction liquid is heated to coagulate the coexisting protein component followed by eliminating the resultant solid component by the filtration. Finally, the objective phytic acid-stabilized composition mixed with said acid is obtained. This composition can be used as a body smell-and-urine smell removing agent due to the said composition as active ingredient. With this agent phytic acid stabilization can be accomplished even under greatly serve conditions. This agent will also enhance urine and/or body smell-deodorizing effects, even in dependently used.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and possible underlying mechanism of La2(CO3)3 deposition on GI mucosal inflammation. Our results showed that La2(CO3)3 can dissolve in artificial gastric fluids and form lanthanum phosphate (LaPO4) precipitates with an average size of about 1 μm. To mimic the intestinal mucosa and epithelial barrier, we established a Caco-2/THP-1 macrophage coculture model and a Caco-2 monoculture model, respectively. Our findings demonstrated that the medium of THP-1 macrophages stimulated by LaPO4 particles can damage the Caco-2 monolayer integrity in the coculture model, while the particles themselves had no direct impact on the Caco-2 monolayer integrity in the monoculture model. We measured values of trans-epithelial electrical resistance and detected images using a laser scanning confocal microscope. These results indicate that continuous stimulation of LaPO4 particles on macrophages can lead to a disruption of intestinal epithelium integrity. In addition, LaPO4 particles could stimulate THP-1 macrophages to secrete both IL-1β and IL-8. Although LaPO4 particles can also promote Caco-2 cells to secrete IL-8, the secretion was much lower than that produced by THP-1 macrophages. In summary, the deposition of La2(CO3)3 has been shown to activate macrophages and induce damage to intestinal epithelial cells, which may exacerbate inflammation in patients with chronic kidney disease. Therefore, patients taking lanthanum carbonate, especially those with gastrointestinal mucosal inflammation, should be mindful of the potential for drug deposition in the GI system.

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: thoracic epidural analgesia is conducted by puncturing and catheterisation of an epidural space at ThVIII - ThIX before the expiry of 24 hours from the onset of a disease after a moderate intravenous infusion therapy in the amount of 15-20 mg/kg of crystalloid solutions. 20 minutes before an expected endoscopic papillosphincterotomy, a catheter is moved 4-5 cm in a cranial direction. At ThV-ThX, 0.4% naropin 10-12 ml or 0.2% Marcaine 10-12 ml and clonidine 100 mcg are administered through a catheter. That is followed by a pre-medication by administering 0.1% atropine 0.5-1 ml and 0.5% relanium 1-2 ml. Thereafter, the patient is taken to an X-ray operation room to conduct the endoscopic papillosphincterotomy without an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with general pancreatic duct stenting. After the operation has been completed, the patient is taken to an intensive care unit wherein an extended epidural analgesia is conducted by administering 0.2% naropin 10-12 ml or 0.15% marcaine 10-12 ml into the epidural space every 4 hours until the patient is taken to a department of surgery.EFFECT: early intestinal motility recovery, increased pancreatic secretion, prevented spasm of the gastrointestinal sphincter ensured by a pathological complete blockade of sympathetic impulsing.1 ex
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is the mainstay of treatment of locally advanced TNBC and some selected early cases followed by surgery with or without adjuvant radiotherapy. NACT is aimed to induce pathologic complete response (pCR) in tumor and lymph nodes, pCR is proofed to be a surrogate and reliable predictive factor of survival rates in TNBC. This study will evaluate the effect of adding LHRH analogue, goserelin, to the standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Following completion of neoadjuvant therapy, patients will undergo breast conservative surgery or mastectomy. Post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy axillary staging will be required, but the choice of the procedure will be at the physician's discretion. Postoperative radiation therapy will be given at the physician's discretion. The use of partial breast irradiation techniques will not be allowed. The primary endpoint will be the rate of pathologic complete response. The secondary endpoints will be 3-year-disease free survival, clinical response and toxicity. Exploratory endpoints will be correlation of the LHRH receptor expression level with the pCR. The sample size for the trial will be 180 patients accrued over a period of 2 years. Definitive analysis of the primary endpoints is expected at year 3.

For this study, the investigator identified the sacrocolpopexy as the target procedure for the evaluation of LTI. In the cases of sacrocolpopexy, often performed in conjunction with a hysterectomy, one of the most frustrating elements is the lack of tactile feedback at the level of the sacral promontory. The surgeon needs to open up the peritoneum and dissect the underlying tissue to expose the sacral bony structures and ligament without injury to the surrounding bowel, ureter or vascular structures. Sometimes, the sacral promontory is covered with a fat pad which makes it difficult to visualize the promontory and the "safe" space below the aorta and between the iliac arteries/veins is difficult to discern. A difference that is very easy to appreciate with an open procedure where one can easily palpate through the fatty tissues. That step is very critical for the repair and has the greatest potential for catastrophic error without tactile sensation. Because of the reproducibility of the surgical technique and target anatomy for this portion of the procedure, it was thought the sacral promontory dissection to identify and clear the anterior longitudinal ligament would be appropriate surgical procedure to evaluate the use of LTI.
Dopaminergic therapy in patients with Parkinson’s disease has been associated with hallucinations. In clinical studies, hallucinations led to drug discontinuation and premature withdrawal in 0.8% and 0% of patients treated with 200 mg Entacapone Tablets and placebo, respectively. Hallucinations led to hospitalization in 1.0% and 0.3% of patients in the 200 mg Entacapone Tablets and placebo groups, respectively. Agitation occurred in 1% of patients treated with Entacapone Tablets and 0% treated with placebo.

Postmarketing reports indicate that patients may experience new or worsening mental status and behavioral changes, which may be severe, including psychotic-like behavior during entacapone treatment or after starting or increasing the dose of Entacapone Tablets. Other drugs prescribed to improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease can have similar effects on thinking and behavior. Abnormal thinking and behavior can cause paranoid ideation, delusions, hallucinations, confusion, disorientation, aggressive behavior, agitation, and delirium. Psychotic-like behaviors were also observed during the clinical development of entacapone.

Patients with a major psychotic disorder should ordinarily not be treated with entacapone because of the risk of exacerbating psychosis. In addition, certain medications used to treat psychosis may exacerbate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and may decrease the effectiveness of Entacapone Tablets (see PRECAUTIONS).
The following paragraphs describe one approach to the treatment of overdose with this combination product. However, because strategies for the management of an overdose continually evolve, consultation with a regional Poison Control Center is strongly encouraged.

Treatment consists primarily of management of barbiturate intoxication, reversal of the effects of codeine, and the correction of the acid-base imbalance due to salicylism. Vomiting should be induced mechanically or with emetics in the conscious patient. Gastric lavage may be used if the pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes are present and if less than 4 hours have elapsed since ingestion. A cuffed endotracheal tube should be inserted before gastric lavage of the unconscious patient and when necessary to provide assisted respiration. Diuresis, alkalinization of the urine, and correction of electrolyte disturbances should be accomplished through administration of intravenous fluids such as 1% sodium bicarbonate and 5% dextrose in water.

Meticulous attention should be given to maintaining adequate pulmonary ventilation. Correction of hypotension may require the administration of levarterenol bitartrate or phenylephrine hydrochloride by intravenous infusion. In severe cases of intoxication, peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, or exchange transfusion may be lifesaving. Hypoprothrombinemia should be treated with vitamin K, intravenously.

Methemoglobinemia over 30% should be treated with methylene blue by slow intravenous administration.

Naloxone, a narcotic antagonist, can reverse respiratory depression and coma associated with opioid overdose. Typically, a dose of 0.4 mg to 2 mg is given parenterally and may be repeated if an adequate response is not achieved. Since the duration of action of codeine may exceed that of the antagonist, the patient should be kept under continued surveillance and repeated doses of the antagonist should be administered as needed to maintain adequate respiration. A narcotic antagonist should not be administered in the absence of clinically significant respiratory or cardiovascular depression.
Chronic use of opioids may influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, leading to androgen deficiency that may manifest as low libido, impotence, erectile dysfunction, amenorrhea, or infertility. The causal role of opioids in the clinical syndrome of hypogonadism is unknown because the various medical, physical, lifestyle, and psychological stressors that may influence gonadal hormone levels have not been adequately controlled for in studies conducted to date.

Nalbuphine Hydrochloride Injection is a potent analgesic. Its analgesic potency is essentially equivalent to that of morphine on a milligram basis. Receptor studies show that nalbuphine hydrochloride binds to mu, kappa, and delta receptors, but not to sigma receptors. Nalbuphine hydrochloride is primarily a kappa agonist/partial mu antagonist analgesic.

The onset of action of nalbuphine hydrochloride occurs within 2 to 3 minutes after intravenous administration, and in less than 15 minutes following subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. The plasma half-life of nalbuphine is 5 hours, and in clinical studies the duration of analgesic activity has been reported to range from 3 to 6 hours.

The opioid antagonist activity of nalbuphine hydrochloride is one-fourth as potent as nalorphine and 10 times that of pentazocine.

Nalbuphine hydrochloride may produce the same degree of respiratory depression as equianalgesic doses of morphine. However, Nalbuphine Hydrochloride Injection exhibits a ceiling effect such that increases in dose greater than 30 mg do not produce further respiratory depression in the absence of other CNS active medications affecting respiration.

Nalbuphine hydrochloride by itself has potent opioid antagonist activity at doses equal to or lower than its analgesic dose. When administered following or concurrent with mµ agonist opioid analgesics (e.g., morphine, oxymorphone, fentanyl), nalbuphine hydrochloride may partially reverse or block opioid-induced respiratory depression from the mµ agonist analgesic. Nalbuphine Hydrochloride Injection may precipitate withdrawal in patients dependent on opioid drugs. Nalbuphine Hydrochloride Injection should be used with caution in patients who have been receiving mu opioid analgesics on a regular basis.
Participants in the control group (CG) will not be arranged to participate in any walking or physical activity intervention during the whole study period (the 18-week intervention and 12-week follow-up periods), but they will be asked to keep a daily log on their physical activity, use of medicines, illness, and other health-related activities. Besides, the CG participants will be asked to report to the research resistant (RA) if a major change has been made in the aforementioned aspects. The RA will also check the daily logs of the participants through telephone or mobile phone every two weeks. Data from those who changed their normal lifestyles (especially taking up regular physical activity) will be excluded in the subsequent data analysis.

Cold and ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-associated injuries are seemingly inevitable during liver transplantation and hepatectomy. Because Syrian hamsters demonstrate intrinsic tolerance to transplantation-like stimuli, cross-species comparative metabolomic analyses were conducted with hamster, rat, and donor liver samples to seek hepatic cold and IR-adaptive mechanisms. Lower hepatic phosphocholine contents were found in recipients with early graft-dysfunction and with virus-caused cirrhosis or high model for end-stage liver disease scores (≥30). Choline/phosphocholine deficiency in cultured human THLE-2 hepatocytes and animal models weakened hepatocellular cold tolerance and recovery of glutathione and ATP production, which was rescued by phosphocholine supplements. Among the biological processes impacted by choline/phosphocholine deficiency, 3 lipid-related metabolic processes were downregulated, whereas phosphocholine elevated the expression of genes in methylation processes. Consistently, in THLE-2, phosphocholine enhanced the overall RNA m6A methylation, among which the transcript stability of fatty acid desaturase 6 (FADS6) was improved. FADS6 functioned as a key phosphocholine effector in the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which may facilitate the hepatocellular recovery of energy and redox homeostasis. Thus, our study reveals the choline-phosphocholine metabolism and its downstream FADS6 functions in hepatic adaptation to cold and IR, which may inspire new strategies to monitor donor liver quality and improve recipient recovery from the liver transplantation process.

The investigators plan to recruit four groups, each containing 30 subjects: 1) pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, 2) High tension open-angle glaucoma, 3) Normal tension glaucoma 4) Age-matched controls. Those enrolled will undergo two visits including an ophthalmic exam, blood sampling, and at the first visit, distribution of nicotinamide tablets. We plan to recruit participants amongst glaucoma patients already followed at the Eye Clinic at Umeå University Hospital. Furthermore, age-matched controls will be recruited through lists from the population register at Statistics Sweden. Before enrolling any subject, they will receive both oral and written information as well as sign a consent form. Furthermore, they will be evaluated to make sure that they fulfill the inclusion- and exclusion criteria prior to inclusion.

The ophthalmic exam includes measurement of IOP, perimetry, and OCT/A. Between visits, the participants will receive 1,5 grams of NAM per day the first week and 3 grams per day the second week. The blood drawn will initially be sent to Biobanken Norr for storage. Samples will then be sent to the Swedish Metabolomics Centre, Umeå University and Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Karolinska University for analysis using high-resolution mass spectrometry.
The patients included will be divided into three groups of 30 patients each. In this group patients will undergo a conventional gait rehabilitation. The rehabilitation protocol consists of 24 training sessions (3 sessions per week, for 8 weeks, each session lasting about 45 minutes). Beside conventional overground training for gait, motor and cognitive function will be normally trained by using conventional neurorehabilitation. Patients will be evaluated at baseline (T0), immediately (T1) and after 3.month (T2) of treatement.
OBJECTIVE: Previous reports suggest that a high body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of thyroid carcinoma. However, it remains unclear whether a high BMI is associated with the risk of the BRAFV600E mutation. We aimed to assess whether a high BMI is associated with an increased risk of the BRAFV600E mutation.
DESIGN AND METHODS: We screened 6558 PTC patients who had undergone BRAFV600E mutation testing between January 2009 and December 2017. After exclusion, 6438 PTC patients were enrolled. We used logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline plots of the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were illustrated to model the relationship between BMI and the BRAFV600E mutation.
RESULTS: Of the 6438 patients, 5102 (79.2%) had the BRAFV600E mutation, and 4954 (76.9%) were female. The median BMI was 23.8 (21.6-26.2) kg/m2. The primary tumor size was ≤1 cm in 4226 patients (65.6%) and >1 cm in 2212 patients (34.4%). The BRAFV600E mutation was significantly associated with high BMI only in patients with a primary tumor size >1 cm (OR: 1.034; 95% CI: 1.003-1.065; P = 0.029), whereas no clear association was found in patients with a primary tumor size ≤1 cm (OR: 1.007; 95% CI: 0.984-1.030; P = 0.570). Gender was not a significant factor in either group.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that a higher BMI was positively associated with the BRAFV600E mutation in patients with a primary tumor size >1 cm. These results suggest that the association between BMI and the BRAFV600E mutation status differs depending on primary tumor size.
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Obesity has been suggested as a potential risk factor for thyroid carcinoma. The aim of this study was to assess the association between BMI and the BRAFV600E mutation. In this study, the BRAFV600E mutation was significantly associated with a high BMI only in a primary tumor size >1 cm (OR: 1.034; P = 0.029). No clear association was found in patients with a primary tumor size ≤1 cm (OR: 1.007; P = 0.570). The association between BMI and the BRAFV600E mutation status differs depending on the primary tumor size.
