Spontaneous smiles in response to politicians can serve as an implicit barometer for gauging electorate preferences. However, it is unclear whether a subtle Duchenne smile-an authentic expression involving the coactivation of the zygomaticus major (ZM) and orbicularis oculi (OO) muscles-would be elicited while reading about a favored politician smiling, indicating a more positive disposition and political endorsement. From an embodied simulation perspective, we investigated whether written descriptions of a politician's smile would trigger morphologically different smiles in readers depending on shared or opposing political orientation. In a controlled reading task in the laboratory, participants were presented with subject-verb phrases describing left and right-wing politicians smiling or frowning. Concurrently, their facial muscular reactions were measured via electromyography (EMG) recording at three facial muscles: the ZM and OO, coactive during Duchenne smiles, and the corrugator supercilii (CS) involved in frowning. We found that participants responded with a Duchenne smile detected at the ZM and OO facial muscles when exposed to portrayals of smiling politicians of same political orientation and reported more positive emotions towards these latter. In contrast, when reading about outgroup politicians smiling, there was a weaker activation of the ZM muscle and no activation of the OO muscle, suggesting a weak non-Duchenne smile, while emotions reported towards outgroup politicians were significantly more negative. Also, a more enhanced frown response in the CS was found for ingroup compared to outgroup politicians' frown expressions. Present findings suggest that a politician's smile may go a long way to influence electorates through both non-verbal and verbal pathways. They add another layer to our understanding of how language and social information shape embodied effects in a highly nuanced manner. Implications for verbal communication in the political context are discussed.
The present invention relates to new ribosome inactivating protein of Chinese trichosanthes protein for inhibiting HIV activity and simultaneously provides a preparation method thereof. Both the crude product and the pure product of the Chinese trichosanthes protein can be used for remarkably inhibiting the formation of HIV-1 induced C8166 plasmodium. For acute infection, the Chinese trichosanthes protein remarkably inhibits the expression of an HIV-IP24 antigen. When the concentration of a compound is 0.04 mug/ml, the inhibition ratio of 94P73CMI and the inhibition ratio of 94P75CMI to P24 antigen expression are respectively 54.8% and 52.6% (namely EC50 is less than 0.04 mug/ml). HIV-1 antigen positive cells are reduced by 47.0%. For chronic infection, the Chinese trichosanthes protein has no influence on the duplication of HIV-1IIIB. Even if under the condition of toxicity concentration, the level of the P24 antigen expression can not be changed a lot.
The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of injection AIT for HDM allergens in elderly patients with allergic rhinitis and a confirmed HDM allergy. The study with double blind, placebo controlled trial was conducted in one centre. A total of 92 patients ranging from 65 to 73 years of age were recruited from the outpatient allergy clinic to assess their eligibility for inclusion in the study. First, there was a need for pre screening approximately 157 patients with inhalant allergies and the right age. Additionally, the patients included in the study all had a positive skin prick test (SPT), were positive for specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE), and had positive nasal provocation tests (NPTs) with D.pteronyssinus and D. farinae allergens. Patients with a clinical allergy and/or a positive skin prick test and specific IgE to other inhalant allergens (including other pollens) were excluded from the study. A careful examination of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat was performed on all patients. The severity of perennial allergic rhinitis (AR) was assessed using the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines. The patients were randomly selected to receive PURETHAL Mites (20,000 AUeq/ml, HAL Allergy BV, Leiden, The Netherlands, containing major allergen equivalents of 14.0 μg/ml group 1, and 20.0 μg/ml group 2, measured by ELISA in the extract prior to modification and adsorption on aluminium hydroxide) or a placebo (Figure 1). The recruitment period was limited to three months (April-June). Purethal Mites were administered as perennial therapy using the following regimen: 1 dose- 0.1 ml, 2 doses - 0.2 ml, 3 doses - 0.5 ml every week, and 0.5 ml every four weeks during 24 months.
We will recruit basketball and soccer coaches and their athletes from Chicago public high schools. We will randomize teams to intervention and control groups. We will train intervention coaches to implement a 20-minute neuromuscular warm-up and tracked training costs. Control coaches will use their usual warm-up. All coaches will report weekly athlete exposures (AEs) and injuries resulting in a missed practice/game. Research assistants will interview injured athletes. We will compare injury rates between control and intervention groups.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the efficiency of the Colpassist (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA) vaginal positioning device used during robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy. Traditionally, vaginal positioning during robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy is done using a device that was not designed specifically for sacrocolpopexy, commonly a vaginally placed endo anal sizer. It is possible the Colpassist device will result in shorter operative times because Colpassist is flat which makes it easier to sew against. Also, the width of the device is designed to be similar to the width of the vagina which should improve visibility during surgery.

Enrolled patients will be randomized to undergo their planned robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy using either a vaginally placed endo anal sizer or a vaginally placed Colpassist vaginal positioning device. Both surgeon and patient will be blinded to which device was used at the time of surgery. Length of time to complete each step of the sacral colpoexy that involves use of a vaginal positioning device (dissection of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls, attachment of anterior and posterior vaginal mesh, attachment of sacral mesh) will be recorded during the surgery to measure operative efficiency. Surgeon and surgical-assistant satisfaction will be recorded with each device.
A cancer immunogen comprises foreign MHC molecules and additionally one or more oncognes (or constructs that will produce an antigenic region thereof) which can be used to immunise against tumours containing the same or similar oncogenes. Where pathogen-free allogeneic cells are used, it may not be necessary to kill the vaccine before it is administered. The efficacy of the vaccine may be enhanced if the cells also contain immunoenhancing molecules, tumour antigens, or third-party antigens. Cell vaccines containing oncongens can be standardised and used to treat (risk of) specific cancers where there are analogous oncongenes in the tumour or pre-cancerous cells. A panel of such cells covering different oncogenes may be used. The vaccines can be used to immunise prophylactically, in conjuction with other therapy, post-surgery or on their own.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a hair cosmetic capable of imparting hair with sufficient slipperiness and keeping the effect for a long period by making the cosmetic include a polymacromonomer. SOLUTION: A polymacromonomer, preferably a comb-shaped polymer having long-chain polymer chain having a weight-average molecular weight of >=3,000 as the branch, e.g. a poly(polyethylene oxide macromonomer), is used as an active component of the hair cosmetic. The amount of the polymacromonomer in the cosmetic is preferably 0.001-75 wt.%. The macromonomer constituting the polymacromonomer is e.g. the compound having the structure of formulas I to V. The polymacromonomer can be produced e.g. by the chain polymerization of a macromonomer (e.g. a polymethacrylic acid macromonomer). The above cosmetic is preferably further incorporated with an oil and a polyol to improve the touch of the hair.
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) stands as the predominant cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on a global scale, with its incidence witnessing a consistent annual rise, thereby imposing a substantial burden on public health. The pathogenesis of DKD is primarily rooted in metabolic disorders and inflammation. Recent years have seen a surge in studies highlighting the regulatory impact of energy metabolism on innate immunity, forging a significant area of research interest. Within this context, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), recognized as an energy metabolism regulator, assumes a pivotal role. Beyond its role in maintaining glucose and lipid metabolism homeostasis, FGF21 exerts regulatory influence on innate immunity, concurrently inhibiting inflammation and fibrosis. Serving as a nexus between energy metabolism and innate immunity, FGF21 has evolved into a therapeutic target for diabetes, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and cardiovascular diseases. While the relationship between FGF21 and DKD has garnered increased attention in recent studies, a comprehensive exploration of this association has yet to be systematically addressed. This paper seeks to fill this gap by summarizing the mechanisms through which FGF21 operates in DKD, encompassing facets of energy metabolism and innate immunity. Additionally, we aim to assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of FGF21 in DKD and explore its potential role as a treatment modality for the condition.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has become the most common HPV-related cancer with high invasion and metastasis. Exploring biomarkers for the screening and monitoring of OSCC, especially for the HPV-OSCC, would benefit patients' diagnosis and prognosis. This study evaluated the significance and mechanism of TMEM161B-AS1 and miR-651-5p in HPV-OSCC aiming to provide novel insight into the mechanism of HPV-OSCC development. Expression of TMEM161B-AS1 and miR-561-5p was analyzed in healthy individuals, HPV-infected non-OSCC patients, and HPV-OSCC patients using PCR. Their significance in HPV-OSCC occurrence and prognosis was evaluated by logistic regression, ROC, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox regression analysis. In OSCC cells, CCK8 and Transwell assays were employed for assessing cell growth and metastasis. The luciferase reporter assay and cell transfection were performed to evaluate the regulatory association between TMEM161B-AS1, miR-561-5p, and BDNF. Significant upregulation of TMEM161B-AS1 and downregulation of miR-561-5p were observed in oral HPV-infected patients. Both TMEM161B-AS1 and miR-651-5p served as risk factors for the occurrence of OSCC in oral HPV-infected patients and could distinguish HPV-OSCC patients from HPV-infected non-OSCC patients. Increased TMEM161B-AS1 and reduced miR-561-5p indicated severe development and adverse prognosis of HPV-OSCC patients. In OSCC cells, silencing TMEM161-AS1 suppressed cell proliferation and motility via negatively modulating miR-561-5p. miR-561-5p negatively regulated BDNF, which was considered the underlying mechanism of TMEM161B-AS1. Increasing TMEM161B-AS expression and decreasing miR-561-5p showed the occurrence of OSCC in HPV-infected patients and predicted malignant development and adverse prognosis. TMEME161B-AS1 served as a tumor promoter via regulating the miR-561-5p/BDNF axis.
1 in 3 adults in the U.S. have hypertension which is known to increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Blood pressure regulation is mediated by many factors including but not limited to metabolic factors, pressure/stretch sensing receptors located in the aorta and carotid arteries, endothelial cell function, and kidney function (via water and sodium absorption/excretion). It has been shown that many of these regulatory mechanisms are altered and/or become dysfunctional with aging. Specifically older adults commonly demonstrate a decreased sensitivity in pressure receptors and/or endothelial dysfunction. Additionally with aging, there is an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity and arterial stiffness which can contribute to higher blood pressure. The important vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO), has been implicated as a key signaling molecule involved in several of the mechanisms in blood pressure regulation outlined above. A decreased NO production or bioavailability is thought to contribute to several of the physiologic changes that come with aging. Therefore, the overall aim of this study is to use a randomized, double-blind crossover, placebo controlled study to examine the effects of acute dietary nitrate supplementation (to boost bioavailable NO) on various parameters of blood pressure regulation and responsiveness in normal healthy older adults. Our main hypothesis is that 4 weeks of dietary nitrate supplementation will decrease the blood pressure responses in older adults in response to a variety of physiological stressors.
It had been reported the cervical spondylotic myelopathy may lead to the development of hypertension. Decompression surgeries ameliorated neurological symptoms as well as the blood pressure. The cause may be the abnormality of autonomic dysfunction developed after myelopathy. However, the evidence was weak. We have noticed a tendency of hypotension during anesthesia in patients undergroing cervical spine surgeries, especially in surgeries of long levels and hypertensive patients. Thus we postulate the autonomic activity is abnormal in patients with cervical myelopathy. Sympathetic hyperactivity developed in order to maintain adequate perfusion to the cervical cord. When patients are under anesthesia, the sympathetic tone is suppressed, thus leading to severe hypotension that require the treatment of inotropic treatment. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a good index of autonomic activity. Thus we plan to Therefore we will measure the HRV (analysis of ECG) and baroreflex activity (analysis of arterial line during the anesthesia) in patients undergoing cervical spine surgeries for decompression of cord compression perioperatively. The primary end-point is the comparison of severity of cord compression between normotensive and hypertensive patients with cervical myelopathy. The secondary end-point is to compare blood pressure and HRV pre- and postoperatively. The third end-point is to elucidate the causative factors for severe hypotension during anesthesia.
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) occurs when the peripheral microcirculation is impaired by arterial stenoses or occlusions. In opposite to earlier studies that only evaluated intermittent claudication due to peripheral arterial disease (PAD), rest pain and trophic changes in the affected extremity are due to reduced microcirculation. Though the main reason for CLI is the existing PAD, many processes responsible for pain and other pad-associated symptoms are triggered by a reduced microcirculation so that attempts to enhance the dermal perfusion by pharmacological or other manipulations may ameliorate the results of vascular treatment. These attempts may be the best options for patients, in which vascular surgery was not successful or primarily impossible.

A Laser-induced fluorescence videoangiography is currently being used in ophthalmology to display the vessels of the eye background. Due to technical improvements, it has become a standard procedure. This trial aims at establishing laser-induced fluorescence videoangiography as standard procedure in vascular surgery. This would be of benefit for the patient as the technique does not require the use of ionising radiation and is possible for patients suffering to renal failure.
Two separate white light illuminated images are acquired of a plate of food. The image data is processed, and the two images are compared to determine volume of particular food zones. In parallel to that, the food type in each zone is identified by a food recognition processor nd reference to a stored nutritional data bank. These two values are combined with the foods' nutritional value in the data bank to provide zone-by-zone nutrient content information. These can be individually displayed, and/or the total displayed so that the user knows the nutritional value of the food on his plate in terms of total calories, percent fat, percent protein, and percent carbohydrate. In addition, the approximate milligrams each of principal vitamin, mineral, fiber, enzyme and phytonutrient on the plate can be displayed sequentially. Provision is made to download data into a PDA or PC.
This randomized controlled study was conducted to investigate effects of face-to-face education and tele-education given to individuals with atrial fibrillation taking oral anticoagulants on their medication compliance and satisfaction levels. The study sample comprised 150 individuals. Of them, 50 were assigned to the control group, 50 to the experimental group 1, and 50 to the experimental group 2. Data were collected with the Descriptive Information Form, Medication Compliance Notification Scale and Duke Anticoagulant Satisfaction Scale. The Intervention Group 1 was given face-to-face education. The Intervention Group 2 was given tele-education.

The control group underwent no intervention. The scales were administered to all the groups twice, at the first and last interviews. Frequency, percentage calculation, Chi-square test, significance test between two means, one-way analysis of variance, Wilcoxon sign test, Fisher test, Bonferroni test and dependent groups t test were used in the analysis of data. The intra-group analysis demonstrated that the Medication Compliance Notification Scale score of the intervention group 1 (face-to-face education group) increased significantly in the final measurement compared to those of the control group and intervention group 2 (tele-education group) (p=.000). The inter-group analysis demonstrated that Duke Anticoagulant Satisfaction Scale scores of the three groups statistically significantly different. The difference stemmed from the intervention group 1.

Face-to-face education given to individuals with atrial fibrillation on oral anticoagulants improved their medication compliance and medication satisfaction levels. Nurses should primarily use face-to-face education in the care and education programs of individuals with atrial fibrillation.
