Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) can involve problems with memory, language, thinking and judgment that are greater than normal age-related changes and it maybe a precursor for Alzheimer's disease. African Americans have a higher risk of developing MCI compared with Whites. Unfortunately, prevention and management of MCI has been understudied among African-Americans. Chronic stress (such as perceived discrimination, daily environmental stress) in African Americans can affect cognition and also plays a role in worsening of unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, improper diet and physical inactivity. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a collaborative psychological approach that addresses the interaction between people's thoughts, feelings and behavior. Existing evidence suggests that CBT can be an effective strategy for dementia patients with co-morbid anxiety. However, none of these studies have specifically evaluated African Americans with MCI. The aim of the study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a six-month CBT program (group based and phone-based) compared with usual care, and to determine if the intervention can improve cognitive performance and reduce chronic stress in a randomized trial including 30 African American patients with MCI. The CBT program among African Americans with MCI will provide preliminary evidence about the efficacy and the optimal intensity of the intervention needed for patients at risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Mitochondrial dysfunction and the activation of multiple programmed cell death (PCD) have been shown to aggravate the severity and mortality associated with the progression of myocardial infarction (MI). Although pharmacological modulation of mitochondrial dynamics, including treatment with the fusion promoter (M1) and the fission inhibitor (Mdivi-1), exerted cardioprotection against several cardiac complications, their roles in the post-MI model have never been investigated. Using a MI rat model instigated by permanent left-anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery occlusion, post-MI rats were randomly assigned to receive one of 4 treatments (n = 10/group): vehicle (DMSO 3%V/V), enalapril (10 mg/kg), Mdivi-1 (1.2 mg/kg) and M1 (2 mg/kg), while a control group of sham operated rats underwent surgery without LAD occlusion (n = 10). After 32-day treatment, cardiac and mitochondrial function, and histopathological morphology were investigated and molecular analysis was performed. Treatment with enalapril, Mdivi-1, and M1 significantly mitigated cardiac pathological remodeling, reduced myocardial injury, and improved left ventricular (LV) function in post-MI rats. Importantly, all interventions also attenuated mitochondrial dynamic imbalance and mitigated activation of apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis after MI. This investigation demonstrated for the first time that chronic mitochondrial dynamic-targeted therapy mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of PCD, leading to improved LV function in post-MI rats.

PURPOSE:To obtain a new specific phomactin derivative, which is useful as an antithrombotic agent and for prophylaxis and therapy of asthma, digestive ulcer, nephritic disorders and hypertension because of its platelet activation factor(PAF)-antagonistic action. CONSTITUTION:A strain separated from the shell of a crab (Chinecetes opilio), Phomas sp. SANK 15692 strain (FERM-BP-4175) is inoculated into a culture medium and cultured at 23 deg. in a rotatory shaking inclubator for 7 days. Then, the cultured medium is cultured in a jar fermenter at 23 deg. for 3 days, and further in a tank at 23 deg. for 12 days. The cultured liquid is mixed with ethyl acetate and filtered and the resultant crystals are recrystallized to give phomactin C of the formula I. The product is reduced with lithium aluminum hydride or the like, when needed, and the hydroxy group formed is esterified to give the objective phomactin derivative of the formula II [X is CHO, CH2OH, CH2 OOOR<a> (R<a> is an alkyl, aryl); A, B are each H or together form a single bond; Y is CO, CHOH].
In cancer patients, the increased incidence of oro-pharyngeal candidiasis results both from the debilitating effects of the cancer itself and from the immuno-suppressive treatment for the cancer. Administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics for the management of bacterial infections in these patients may further predispose them to oro-pharyngeal candidiasis . Systemic fungal infections are often hard to diagnose, which contributes to their high attributable mortality. In addition, there are far fewer classes of antifungal agent than antibacterial drugs, limiting therapeutic options. The azole antifungals are commonly used to treat fungal infections, as they are conveniently administered and have few side effects . the number of drug-resistant Candida strains has also increased dramatically owing to the increased use of antifungal agents. The major mechanism responsible for high-level azole resistance in clinical Candida isolates is overexpression of plasma membrane efflux pumps . There are two main families of efflux proteins, the ATP-binding cassette pumps and the major facilitator superfamily transporters . Azole resistance calls for the use of alternative antifungal drugs like echinocandins, voriconazole, posaconazole, ravuconazole and Amphotericin B. But constraints like high costs or adverse effects associated with these agents often limit their usage. Some recent pioneering studies have reported the modulating effect of verapamil, oestradiol, progesterone and ibuprofen on resistance of Candida isolates. While fluconazole MIC decreased in most strains after exposure to these modulators, this effect was particularly remarkable for Ibuprofen. The molecular basis of this reversal of resistance has also been demonstrated recently. Thus, drugs capable of reversing fluconazole resistance might offer novel breakthroughs in the treatment of resistant Candida infections. As investigators have previously observed a high prevalence of fluconazole resistance among Candida isolates recovered in our centre. consequently ,implementing the concept of combination therapy using an efflux pump inhibitor seems an adequate strategy for overcoming resistance. in this study investigators were interested in exploring if the resistant phenotype could be reversed in a proportion of these isolates by the use of Ibuprofen .Expression levels of the target genes associated with antifungal resistance of C.albicans (CDR1, CDR2 and MDR1) were assessed by quantitative real-time The relative quantities of the target genes were normalized against ACT1 housekeeping gene expression and analysed using the comparative DDCt method, taking the amplification efficiency into consideration .
This study tests the safety and effectiveness of the experimental drug, tipifarnib in older patients who have acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The purpose of this study is to test if tipifarnib can make patients with leukemia live longer. In this study, half the patients will receive tipifarnib and half of the patients will receive the standard treatment. The standard treatment will help to control the symptoms of AML and may include hydroxyurea to lower levels of circulating leukemia cells. Tipifarnib or the standard treatment will be given until the patient's leukemia gets better, or until they experience unacceptable side effects, or until the patient or study doctor decide to stop the study medication. Patients assigned to tipifarnib will be given tipifarnib tablets. Patients should take 6 tablets with food in the morning and 6 tablets with food in the evening, for 21 days in a row. Patients will not take tipifarnib for the next 7 days. This 28 day period is called a cycle. The rest period may be extended beyond 7 days depending on how well the patients tolerate the treatment. Patients will return to the study clinic every week and to visit their study doctor at least every two weeks. A blood draw for routine tests will be done every week. Depending on how your disease is doing, a bone marrow aspiration may be done at the end of every cycle. When patients finish treatment with the study medication, or if they leave the study early, they will be asked to see your doctor for one last visit. Routine laboratory tests will be done. After this visit the study doctor will continue to check with patients to see how they are doing and if they have started a new treatment for leukemia. This check will be made every 30 days and may be made by phone to the patient or to their health care provider. Tipifarnib; six 100 mg in a film coated, compressed tablets are given orally twice a day at for 21 consecutive days on a 28-day cycle schedule.
BACKGROUND: Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), common conditions affecting most pregnant women, are highly heritable and associated with maternal and fetal morbidity. However, the pathologies underlying NVP and HG and their associated loci are scarce.
METHODS: We performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of NVP in pregnant women (n = 23,040) who participated in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study in Japan from July 2013 to March 2017. Participants were divided into discovery (n = 9,464) and replication (n = 10,051) stages based on the platform used for their genotyping. Loci that achieved the genome-wide significance level (p < 5.0 × 10- 8) in the discovery stage were selected for genotyping in the replication stage. A meta-analysis integrating the discovery and replication stage results (n = 19,515) was conducted. NVP-related variables were identified as categorical or continuous.
RESULTS: GWAS analysis in the discovery phase revealed loci linked to NVP in two gene regions, 11q22.1 (rs77775955) and 19p13.11 (rs749451 and rs28568614). Loci in these two gene regions have also been shown to be associated with HG in a White European population, indicating the generalizability of the GWAS analyses conducted in this study. Of these, only rs749451 and rs28568614 at 19p13.11 reached the genome-wide suggestive level (p < 1.0 × 10- 5) in the replication stage; however, both loci were significant in the meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: NVP-related loci were identified in the Japanese population at 11q22.1 and 19p13.11, as reported in previous GWAS. This study contributes new evidence on the generalizability of previous GWAS on the association between genetic background and NVP.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an extremely painful and highly disabling orofacial pain disorder, often referred to as the "suicide disease," for which presently available therapies are largely ineffective or inadequate. Both the unpredictable response to treatment and variability in long-term clinical outcomes in TN strongly suggest that a range of peripheral and central mechanisms remain to be understood. The long-term goal is to identify the mechanisms involved in the initiation and progression of TN, and uncover rational targets for the safe and effective treatment of TN. The objective of this application is to explore the use of multimodal neuroimaging and neurophysiologic techniques in defining neural signatures of the disease. Additionally, the study team wants to evaluate the efficacy of transcranial electrical stimulation on relieving pain. The rationale for the proposed research is that identification of signature peripheral and central activation sites will allow for individualized treatment strategies for TN patients.

To modulate brain activities the investigators will use transcranial electrical stimulation (tES). tES is an emerging neuromodulation technique that can be noninvasively and safely applied in humans. tES can help better understand the causal roles of brain networks and brain activities and has shown efficacy in improving pain. tES has two main variations: transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). The former applies a weak direct current to the scalp whereas the latter applies a weak sinusoidal current to the scalp. tDCS can modulate the excitability of tissues under the stimulating electrodes. tACS is particularly suited for interacting with various oscillatory activities in the brain. tES has been used to study normal brain function and treat neurological and pain disorders as well. There is demonstrated efficacy in improvement of pain in subjects suffering from fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain. The study team will use different tDCS/tACS montages targeting different brain regions and observe behavior and neuronal activities. The current strength will be within 1mA or 2mA which has been shown to be safe and effective.
The intervention is planned as a supervised dietary supplementation, with a goal of restricting the calorie intake to 25 Kcal/Kg BW/day, with a protein intake of 1 gm/Kg BW/day i.e., around 15 % of total calories from protein, 35% from fats and 50% from carbohydrates. Major portion of the carbohydrates is vegetables, fruits and then cereals (high fiber cereals), more amount of tomato and amla at least 200 gm in a day, protein requirements are met by mainly legumes like chick pea black - (kala chana) and moong sprouts besides dals. Lean meats and egg whites would be allowed as the non-vegetarian source. Milk products used are only milk and buttermilk, curd (excluding paneer). Major source of oil would be mustard oil only.
Multivariate Mendelian randomization (MVMR) is a statistical technique that uses sets of genetic instruments to estimate the direct causal effects of multiple exposures on an outcome of interest. At genomic loci with pleiotropic gene regulatory effects, that is, loci where the same genetic variants are associated to multiple nearby genes, MVMR can potentially be used to predict candidate causal genes. However, consensus in the field dictates that the genetic instruments in MVMR must be independent (not in linkage disequilibrium), which is usually not possible when considering a group of candidate genes from the same locus. Here we used causal inference theory to show that MVMR with correlated instruments satisfies the instrumental set condition. This is a classical result by Brito and Pearl (2002) for structural equation models that guarantees the identifiability of individual causal effects in situations where multiple exposures collectively, but not individually, separate a set of instrumental variables from an outcome variable. Extensive simulations confirmed the validity and usefulness of these theoretical results. Importantly, the causal effect estimates remained unbiased and their variance small even when instruments are highly correlated, while bias introduced by horizontal pleiotropy or LD matrix sampling error was comparable to standard MR. We applied MVMR with correlated instrumental variable sets at genome-wide significant loci for coronary artery disease (CAD) risk using expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) data from seven vascular and metabolic tissues in the STARNET study. Our method predicts causal genes at twelve loci, each associated with multiple colocated genes in multiple tissues. We confirm causal roles for PHACTR1 and ADAMTS7 in arterial tissues, among others. However, the extensive degree of regulatory pleiotropy across tissues and the limited number of causal variants in each locus still require that MVMR is run on a tissue-by-tissue basis, and testing all gene-tissue pairs with cis-eQTL associations at a given locus in a single model to predict causal gene-tissue combinations remains infeasible. Our results show that within tissues, MVMR with dependent, as opposed to independent, sets of instrumental variables significantly expands the scope for predicting causal genes in disease risk loci with pleiotropic regulatory effects. However, considering risk loci with regulatory pleiotropy that also spans across tissues remains an unsolved problem.
Severe radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) occurs in approximately 20% of the lung cancer patients, who are treated with curative chemoradiation (CRT).This side-effect can heavily impact quality of life and is a dose-limiting factor for the treatment. Identifying high risk patients before the start of the treatment would make it possible to adapt the treatment by choosing another radiation technique or proton therapy. However, despite the fact that many patient and treatment characteristics have been associated with RILI, it is not possible to accurately predict the risk of RILI for individual patients. Recently, it has been shown that the radiation dose to the heart is a risk factor for lung toxicity in both animal and clinical studies. Also, in a study, carried out jointly by CARIM and GROW, it was found that patients with a previous diagnosis of cardiac disease had a significantly higher risk to develop RILI after CRT (p-value \<0.001), even with low or no radiation dose to the heart. It is unknown whether asymptomatic cardiac comorbidity is also related to development of RILI. Taking into account that approximately 30% of all lung cancer patients suffer from symptomatic cardiac comorbidity at the start of cancer treatment, there is an urgent need for research projects focusing on cardio-oncology. These projects will make it possible to unravel the complex relationship between heart, lungs, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. In the current project the investigators hypothesize that biomarkers based on echocardiography, which reflects cardiac function, are prognostic for development of radiation induced lung injury after chemoradiotherapy. In addition, the investigators will validate our previous finding that presence of cardiac comorbidity is associated with RILI.
