Pegfilgrastim-apgf is a covalent conjugate of recombinant methionyl human G-CSF and monomethoxypolyethylene glycol. Recombinant methionyl human G-CSF is a water-soluble 175 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of approximately 19 kilodaltons (kD). Recombinant methionyl human G-CSF is obtained from the bacterial fermentation of a strain of E. coli transformed with a genetically engineered plasmid containing the human G-CSF gene. To produce pegfilgrastim-apgf, a 20 kD monomethoxypolyethylene glycol molecule is covalently bound to the N-terminal methionyl residue of recombinant methionyl human G-CSF. The average molecular weight of pegfilgrastim-apgf is approximately 39 kD.

Correlations between altered body temperature and depression have been reported in small samples; greater confidence in these associations would provide a rationale for further examining potential mechanisms of depression related to body temperature regulation. We sought to test the hypotheses that greater depression symptom severity is associated with (1) higher body temperature, (2) smaller differences between body temperature when awake versus asleep, and (3) lower diurnal body temperature amplitude. Data collected included both self-reported body temperature (using standard thermometers), wearable sensor-assessed distal body temperature (using an off-the-shelf wearable sensor that collected minute-level physiological data), and self-reported depressive symptoms from > 20,000 participants over the course of ~ 7 months as part of the TemPredict Study. Higher self-reported and wearable sensor-assessed body temperatures when awake were associated with greater depression symptom severity. Lower diurnal body temperature amplitude, computed using wearable sensor-assessed distal body temperature data, tended to be associated with greater depression symptom severity, though this association did not achieve statistical significance. These findings, drawn from a large sample, replicate and expand upon prior data pointing to body temperature alterations as potentially relevant factors in depression etiology and may hold implications for development of novel approaches to the treatment of major depressive disorder.
BACKGROUND: Several studies have demonstrated that secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) for patients with recurrent uterine malignancies may improve the survival. However, the selection criteria for SCS remain to be defined. This study aimed to assess the outcome of SCS and to explore factors that may influence the prognosis.
METHODS: Data of patients with recurrent uterine malignancies who received SCS in our hospital between January 2005 and January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were assigned into endometrial carcinoma (EC) group and uterine sarcoma (US) group.
RESULTS: 84 cases in total were involved in the study, including 47 cases with recurrent EC and 37 cases with recurrent US. The 5-year survival of cases with recurrent EC and recurrent US was 59.6% and 33.3%, respectively. Recurrent EC cases with a lower tumor grade (G1/G1-G2/G2), size of the largest tumor ≤ 6 cm, single recurrent tumor, a history of adjuvant therapy, as well as recurrent US cases with younger age, a longer disease-free interval (DFI) before SCS (≥ 12 months), no peritoneal dissemination, and a history of complete cytoreduction were associated with a longer survival. The number of recurrent tumors was found as an independent prognostic factor of SCS.
CONCLUSION: Recurrent EC cases with a lower tumor grade, smaller tumor size, single tumor, a history of adjuvant therapy, as well as recurrent US cases with younger age, a longer DFI before SCS, no peritoneal dissemination, and a history of complete cytoreduction were more likely to benefit from SCS.
Participants who were randomly assigned to the esketamine arm in Study 54135419TRD3013 (NCT04338321), had esketamine nasal spray administered through Week 30 (every 2 weeks dosing) or Week 31 (once weekly dosing), completed the maintenance phase at Week 32 will continue to receive esketamine nasal spray once weekly or every 2 weeks along with serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor/selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI/SNRI) in this long-term extension (LTE) study. The duration of the study participation is 2 years or when esketamine is commercially available.
Propofol is a hypnotic of choice, because of its speed of action, its dose-effect relationship (allowing titrated inductions), its anti-emetic effect, as well as its delay and its short duration of action. Among its side effects, the pain during its injection occupies a significant part in pediatrics (60% in adults, up to 85% in children).

It is most often described as an unpleasant sensation, discomfort or even a burn at the point of puncture, going up along the path of the vein and can extend to the whole arm. The mechanism of this pain is still poorly understood at this time. Several mechanisms have been mentioned such as activation of the bradykinin cascade, a direct stimulation of the free nociceptive venous nerve endings.A meta-analysis concludes in adults that the two most effective techniques are a puncture site on the ulnar vein and a pretreatment of the vein by Lidocaine. In children, the anatomical differences, the notion of protection of the venous capital from the first vascular approach, whatever the prognosis of the patient and the competence of the operator will influence the choice of the material, the choice of the site and the puncture technique. Several pediatric studies have attempted to reduce this injection pain by other techniques. A panel of products has been tested with different drug orientations or not. The suggestion centered on analgesia of the hand is a powerful technique, adapted to acute pain. The pain sensation will thus be partially or completely replaced by a sensation of a different nature, thus attenuating the nociceptive process. This technique has not been studied during injection with propofol.
Randomized to DCS or placebo. Participants underwent double-blind placebo-controlled exposures to DCS for 6 weeks or placebo for 6 weeks. One participant received exposure to DCS for 6 weeks and then received placebo dosing for 6 weeks. The other participant received exposure to placebo dosing for 6 weeks and then DCS for 6 weeks.
A method used for supporting ophthalmic examinations includes the step of preparing association information between medical information items and ophthalmic examination conditions. Patient information of a patient is transmitted from a client to a server configured to store and manage medical information. The server retrieves medical information of the patient based on the transmitted patient information, acquires a condition corresponding to the retrieved medical information from the association information, and transmits the acquired condition to the client. The client acquires examination data from the patient's eye based on the transmitted condition, and transmits the examination data together with the patient's patient information to the server. The server stores the transmitted examination data and/or an analysis result thereof. The server updates the association information by executing statistical processing on a medical information collection including examination data and/or analysis results of a plurality of patients.
Patients will receive a loading dose of caffeine on day 1 with a daily maintenance dose thereafter. Infants will then receive continued inpatient monitoring of apnea/bradycardia/desaturation until an event free period of time has been established and deemed appropriate for discharge home per the discretion of the responsible provider. Infants discharged home on caffeine therapy will receive instructions regarding use of a home monitor. Follow up in the pulmonary clinic will be arranged at 42-43 weeks gestational age. At 43 weeks corrected gestational age, caregivers will be instructed to discontinue caffeine therapy. An outpatient recorded oximetry study will be arranged at least 1 week after discontinuation of caffeine therapy. Home pulse oximetry monitoring will be discontinued if no significant events, as previously defined, are recorded.

The OCULUS is a prospective, single centre study. The study will include hospitalized patients, who are over 18 years old. The only exclusion criteria of the study is the previously diagnosed dementia. The study is based on the questionnaire designed by the authors of the study, enclosing questions about sex, age, education, current job, AF history and knowledge about consequences of AF and the possibility of stroke prevention due to the OAC therapy. Subsequently, the brief VR-3D will be shown using the oculus glasses and a smartphone. The movie's plot informs about the risk of stroke and importance of the OAC therapy to prevent the incidence of the thromboembolic complications of AF. Consequently, patients will be asked several questions, including what was the movie about, whether AF can affect patient's life in a negative way, is it possible to reduce the risk of stroke and by what kind of drugs. Similar questions will be asked to the patients immediately after the movie, one week and one year later, via the Telephone follow-up.
We recently discovered that steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) SRCs-1, 2 and 3, are abundantly expressed in cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and their activation with the SRC small molecule stimulator MCB-613 improves cardiac function and dramatically lowers pro-fibrotic signaling in CFs post-myocardial infarction. These findings suggest that CF-derived SRC activation could be beneficial in the mitigation of chronic heart failure after ischemic insult. However, the cardioprotective mechanisms by which CFs contribute to cardiac pathological remodeling are unclear. Here we present studies designed to identify the molecular and cellular circuitry that governs the anti-fibrotic effects of an MCB-613 derivative, MCB-613-10-1, in CFs. We performed cytokine profiling and whole transcriptome and proteome analyses of CF-derived signals in response to MCB-613-10-1. We identified the NRF2 pathway as a direct MCB-613-10-1 therapeutic target for promoting resistance to oxidative stress in CFs. We show that MCB-613-10-1 promotes cell survival of anti-fibrotic CFs exposed to oxidative stress by suppressing apoptosis. We demonstrate that an increase in HMOX1 expression contributes to CF resistance to oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis via a mechanism involving SRC co-activation of NRF2, hence reducing inflammation and fibrosis. We provide evidence that MCB-613-10-1 acts as a protectant against oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial damage. Our data reveal that SRC stimulation of the NRF2 transcriptional network promotes resistance to oxidative stress and highlights a mechanistic approach toward addressing pathologic cardiac remodeling.
PURPOSE: Neuroimaging is often used in the emergency department (ED) to evaluate for posterior circulation strokes in patients with dizziness, commonly with CT/CTA due to speed and availability. Although MRI offers more sensitive evaluation, it is less commonly used, in part due to slower turnaround times. We assess the potential for abbreviated MRI to improve reporting times and impact on length of stay (LOS) compared to conventional MRI (as well as CT/CTA) in the evaluation of acute dizziness.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of length of stay via LASSO regression for patients presenting to the ED with dizziness and discharged directly from the ED over 4 years (1/1/2018-12/31/2021), controlling for numerous patient-level and logistical factors. We additionally assessed turnaround time between order and final report for various imaging modalities.
RESULTS: 14,204 patients were included in our analysis. Turnaround time for abbreviated MRI was significantly lower than for conventional MRI (4.40 h vs. 6.14 h, p < 0.001) with decreased impact on LOS (0.58 h vs. 2.02 h). Abbreviated MRI studies had longer turnaround time (4.40 h vs. 1.41 h, p < 0.001) and was associated with greater impact on ED LOS than non-contrast CT head (0.58 h vs. 0.00 h), however there was no significant difference in turnaround time compared to CTA head and neck (4.40 h vs. 3.86 h, p = 0.06) with similar effect on LOS (0.58 h vs. 0.53 h). Ordering both CTA and conventional MRI was associated with a greater-than-linear increase in LOS (additional 0.37 h); the same trend was not seen combining CTA and abbreviated MRI (additional 0.00 h).
CONCLUSIONS: In the acute settings where MRI is available, abbreviated MRI protocols may improve turnaround times and LOS compared to conventional MRI protocols. Since recent guidelines recommend MRI over CT in the evaluation of dizziness, implementation of abbreviated MRI protocols has the potential to facilitate rapid access to preferred imaging, while minimizing impact on ED workflows.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a major gynecological malignancy with an annually increasing morbidity that poses a significant threat to the health of women worldwide. Most OC patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. It is an urgent task to search for biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of OC. The lncRNA HCP5 (HCP5) was recently identified as an oncogene in several malignant tumors. However, the function of HCP5 in OC has rarely been reported. Herein, the levels of HCP5 and PTBP1 were found to be markedly increased in malignant OC tumor tissues and OC cell lines. In HCP5-silenced SKOV-3 and HEY cells, cell viability was markedly decreased, and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased, with more cells exhibiting G0/G1 arrest and increased expression of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9. Furthermore, the number of migrated cells, number of invaded cells, and migration distance were notably decreased by the knockdown of HCP5 in SKOV-3 cells and HEY cells. In the xenograft model established with SKOV-3 cells, the number of lung metastases, tumor growth, and Ki67 expression in tumor tissues were markedly decreased by the knockdown of HCP5, accompanied by an increased percentage of TUNEL-positive cells. HCP5 was found to be localized in the nucleus, and the interaction between HCP5 and PTBP1 was verified by RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Furthermore, in HCP5-overexpressing OC cells, the impacts of HCP5 on cell proliferation and apoptosis were significantly attenuated by the knockdown of PTBP1. Collectively, these results indicate that HCP5 facilitates the progression of OC by interacting with the PTBP1 protein.
Neuroinflammation can positively influence axon regeneration following injury in the central nervous system. Inflammation promotes the release of neurotrophic molecules and stimulates intrinsic proregenerative molecular machinery in neurons, but the detailed mechanisms driving this effect are not fully understood. We evaluated how microRNAs are regulated in retinal neurons in response to intraocular inflammation to identify their potential role in axon regeneration. We found that miR-383-5p is downregulated in retinal ganglion cells in response to zymosan-induced intraocular inflammation. MiR-383-5p downregulation in neurons is sufficient to promote axon growth in vitro, and the intravitreal injection of a miR-383-5p inhibitor into the eye promotes axon regeneration following optic nerve crush. MiR-383-5p directly targets ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) receptor components, and miR-383-5p inhibition sensitizes adult retinal neurons to the outgrowth-promoting effects of CNTF. Interestingly, we also demonstrate that CNTF treatment is sufficient to reduce miR-383-5p levels in neurons, constituting a positive-feedback module, whereby initial CNTF treatment reduces miR-383-5p levels, which then disinhibits CNTF receptor components to sensitize neurons to the ligand. Additionally, miR-383-5p inhibition derepresses the mitochondrial antioxidant protein peroxiredoxin-3 (PRDX3) which was required for the proregenerative effects associated with miR-383-5p loss-of-function in vitro. We have thus identified a positive-feedback mechanism that facilitates neuronal CNTF sensitivity in neurons and a new molecular signaling module that promotes inflammation-induced axon regeneration.
EUS guided drainage is now the preferred route for peripancreatic fluid collections (PFC). It belongs to transmural drainage and is accomplished by creating a fistula and placing a stent between the gastric or duodenal lumen and the PFC. The size of the PFC and percentage of solid debris were noted prior to puncture, and the optimal site of transluminal puncture was identified using EUS. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the intervention or the control group. Participants in the intervention group will undergo EUS guided drainage earlier (≤1 weeks) in the disease course. The follow-up duration is 6 months from randomization. All patients undergo imaging (contrast enhanced computed tomography) at 3- and 6-months post randomization.
BACKGROUND: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) has been associated with older age, inflammation and with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to characterize the burden of CHIP, and to explore the association between CHIP, inflammatory markers, and CAD in older persons with HIV (PWH).
METHODS: From the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection (COCOMO) study, we included 190 individuals older than 55 years of age. We defined CHIP as variant allele fraction at least 2%. CAD was categorized according to the most severe coronary artery lesion on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography as no coronary atherosclerosis; any atherosclerosis defined as at least 1% stenosis and obstructive CAD defined as at least 50% stenosis.
RESULTS: In the entire population (median age 66 years, 87% men), we identified a total of 62 mutations distributed among 49 (26%) participants. The three most mutated genes were DNMT3A , TET2 , and ASXL1 , accounting for 49, 25, and 16% of mutations, respectively. Age and sex were the only variables associated with CHIP. IL-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, soluble CD14, soluble CD163 and TNF-α were not associated with CHIP, and CHIP was not associated with any atherosclerosis or with obstructive CAD in adjusted analyses.
CONCLUSION: In older, well treated, Scandinavian PWH, more than one in four had at least one CHIP mutation. We did not find evidence of an association between CHIP and inflammatory markers or between CHIP and CAD. CHIP is an unlikely underlying mechanism to explain the association between inflammation and CAD in treated HIV disease.
The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and discloses a combined agent capable of mediating the transdermal absorption of biological macromolecules, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the combined agent capable of mediating the transdermal absorption of the biological macromolecules comprises a epidermal layer denaturation dissolving agent and a transdermal agent; the epidermal layer denaturation dissolvent consists of 2 percent of alginic acid and protein denaturation dissolvent. The protein denaturation and dissolution agent consists of sodium alginate and high-concentration urea aqueous solution. The mass volume ratio of the sodium alginate is 2 percent. The transdermal agent is laurocapram emulsion with certain concentration. The present invention reduces the thickness of the surface layer and makes the inner epidermal layer in semi-dissolved state, and uses transdermal agent to expand the cell gap and increase the flowability of cell membrane, so that the protein, polypeptide or other medicine macromolecules applied to skin can be absorbed by the dermal layer cells of skin efficiently. The denaturation of the epidermis layer by the protein denaturant is reversible, and the inner epidermis layer can be restored after the protein denaturant is automatically renatured after the washing concentration is reduced.
