Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease that leads to respiratory decline caused by scarring and thickening of lung tissues. Multiple pathways contribute to the fibrotic process in this disease, such as inflammation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and oxidative stress. The Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway is a key regulator of profibrotic signaling, as it affects the organization of actin-myosin and the remodeling of the extracellular matrix. ROCK1/2, a downstream effector of RhoA, is overexpressed in patients with IPF and is a promising target for IPF therapy. However, because of the hypotensive side effects of ROCK1/2 inhibitors, selective ROCK2 compounds are being explored. In this study, we report the discovery of GNS-3595, a potent and selective ROCK2 inhibitor that has ∼80-fold selectivity over ROCK1 at physiological concentrations of ATP. GNS-3595 effectively inhibited ROCK2-mediated phosphorylation of myosin light chain and reduced the expression of fibrosis-related proteins (e.g., collagen, fibronectin, and α-smooth muscle actin) in various in vitro cellular models. GNS-3595 also prevented transforming growth factor β-induced fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition. In addition, in a bleomycin-induced mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis, therapeutic exposure to GNS-3595, suppressed lung fibrosis, stabilized body weight loss, and prevented fibrosis-induced lung weight gain. Transcriptome and protein expression analysis from lung tissues showed that GNS-3595 can revert the fibrosis-related gene expression induced by bleomycin. These results indicate that GNS-3595 is a highly potent, selective, and orally active ROCK2 inhibitor with promising therapeutic efficacy against pulmonary fibrosis.
Shockwave Medical Inc. intends to conduct a prospective, multi-center, single blind, randomized (1:1) study of Lithoplasty treatment used in combination with DCB versus standard balloon angioplasty used in combination with DCB to treat moderate and severely calcified femoropopliteal arteries. The Shockwave Medical Peripheral Lithoplasty System is indicated for lithotripsy-enhanced, low-pressure balloon dilatation of calcified, stenotic peripheral arteries in patients who are candidates for percutaneous therapy. Up to 400 subjects at 60 sites in Europe, the United States and New Zealand.

Subjects will be followed through discharge, 30 days, and 6, 12 and 24 months. DUS assessments will be completed at 12 and 24 months. Procedural success is defined as residual stenosis ≤30% without flow-limiting dissection (≥ grade D) prior to DCB or stenting by angiographic core lab.

Subjects who do not meet the randomized study inclusion and exclusion criteria, but meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the observational study may be enrolled in the observational study. The objective of the observational study is to assess the real-world acute performance of the Shockwave Medical Lithoplasty System in the treatment of calcified, stenotic, peripheral arteries.The observational study is a prospective, multi-center, single arm observational study for subjects who do not meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the randomized study. A maximum of 1500 subjects at the same 60 sites will be enrolled in the observational study. Procedural success is defined as residual stenosis ≤30% without flow-limiting dissection (≥ grade D) prior to DCB or stenting by angiographic core lab. Enrollment in the observational study is anticipated to last approximately 22 months. Subjects in the observational study will be followed through hospital discharge. Once enrollment in the randomized portion of the study is complete, subjects may continue to be enrolled in the observational study provided they meet OS eligibility criteria.

The inflammatory microenvironment is a central driver of tumor metastasis, intimately associated with the promotion of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and immune suppression. Here, transferrin-modified carprofen platinum(IV) nanoparticles Tf-NPs@CPF2-Pt(IV) with promising antiproliferative and antimetastatic properties were developed, which activated by inhibiting inflammation, suppressing EMT, and activating immune responses besides causing DNA injury. The nanoparticles released the active ingredient CPF2-Pt(IV) in a sustained manner and offered enhanced pharmacokinetic properties compared to free CPF2-Pt(IV) in vivo. Additionally, they possessed satisfactory tumor targeting effects via the transferrin motif. Serious DNA damage was induced with the upregulation of γ-H2AX and P53, and the mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway Bcl-2/Bax/caspase3 was initiated. Inflammation was alleviated by inhibiting COX-2 and MMP9 and decreasing inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6. Subsequently, the EMT was reversed by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Furthermore, the antitumor immunity was provoked by blocking the immune checkpoint PD-L1 and increasing CD3+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in tumors.
Atorvastatin and atorvastatin-metabolites are substrates of the OATP1B1 transporter. Inhibitors of the OATP1B1 (e. g., cyclosporine) can increase the bioavailability of atorvastatin. Atorvastatin AUC was significantly increased with concomitant administration of atorvastatin 10 mg and cyclosporine 5.2 mg/kg/day compared to that of atorvastatin alone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

In addition, ezetimibe and cyclosporine used concomitantly can increase exposure to both ezetimibe and cyclosporine. The degree of increase in ezetimibe exposure may be greater in patients with severe renal impairment.

The coadministration of LYPQOZET with cyclosporine should be avoided [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

VRC 314 is designed as an open-label evaluation of the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and protective efficacy of PfSPZ Vaccine. This vaccine administered at 1.35 times 10(5) PfSPZ per injection by the IV route on a schedule of 5 vaccinations was previously shown to confer protection in all vaccinated subjects against CHMI performed shortly after last vaccination; however there was limited durability of protection in a small number of protected subjects who were rechallenged several months later. This study is designed to substantiate the initial results with the IV vaccination route for protection against CHMI. Based on the potential importance of dose and schedule in optimizing sustained immunity with this vaccine, an increase in PfSPZ IV dosage on schedules of 3 to 5 vaccinations will be evaluated for protection against CHMI conducted early (about 3 weeks) and late (about 24 weeks) after completion of vaccinations. To assess if a higher dose given by another route confers protection, one group will receive PfSPZ IM, with half of the amount administered in each arm on a schedule with 4 vaccination.

The primary objectives of the study are related to the safety and tolerability of vaccinations by the IV and IM routes of administration and protection against Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) challenge performed via a well-established CHMI procedure early (2-4 weeks) after completing schedules of 3 to 5 vaccinations. The secondary objective is related to the durability of protection at 20-26 weeks after the last vaccination and exploratory objectives are related to the immunogenicity of the PfSPZ Vaccine and identifying potential immune correlates of protection.
This study will be conducted with a total of 70 nurses working in the surgical clinics of a city hospital in Istanbul and meeting the inclusion criteria. Nurses who meet the inclusion criteria of the study will be divided into two groups: intervention (n=35) and control group (n=35) according to the randomization method created with computer-based random numbers. Nurses in the intervention group will be given face-to-face training on evidence-based catheter-related infection control measures. The content of the training program will also be given to the participants as written material (brochure). The training will take an average of 30 minutes. Routine in-service training practices will be given to the control group. Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Peripheral and Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Prevention Knowledge and Attitudes Scale, and Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections Control Precautions will be used in data collection. Data will be collected from all participants before, immediately after, and three months after the training practices.
BACKGROUND: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is characterized by early onset postural instability and frequent falls. Circular walking necessitates dynamic postural control, which is impaired in patients with PSP. We aimed to explore gait parameters associated with the risk of falls in patients with PSP, focusing on circular walking.
METHODS: Sixteen drug-naïve patients with PSP, 22 drug-naïve patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and 23 healthy controls were enrolled. Stride lengths/velocities and their coefficients of variation (CV) during straight and circular walking (walking around a circle of 1-m diameter) were measured under single-task and cognitive dual-task conditions. Correlation analysis was performed between gait parameters and postural instability and gait difficulty (PIGD) motor subscores, representing the risk of falls.
RESULTS: Patients with PSP had significantly higher CVs of stride lengths/velocities during circular walking than those during straight walking, and the extent of exacerbation of CVs in patients with PSP was larger than that in patients with PD under single-task conditions. Stride lengths/velocities and their CVs were significantly correlated with PIGD motor subscores in patients with PSP only during single-task circular walking. In addition, patients with PSP showed progressive decrements of stride lengths/velocities over steps only during single-task circular walking.
CONCLUSIONS: Worse gait parameters during circular walking are associated with an increased risk of falls in patients with PSP. Circular walking is a challenging task to demand the compromised motor functions of patients with PSP, unmasking impaired postural control and manifesting sequence effect. Assessing circular walking is useful for evaluating the risk of falls in patients with early PSP.

Functional state is estimated by relative index of the amount of lyzed cells to the total amount of absorbed ones and by alternation of cytochemical indices in the process of opsonophagocytic reaction course. Invention can be used for estimation of immunological state of organism at brucellosis pathogen effect. EFFECT: high degree of information, guarantee of immunological state of organism estimation.
Glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and cataracts have been reported in patients with COPD following the long-term administration of ICS or with use of inhaled anticholinergics. BREZTRI AEROSPHERE should be used with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma. Prescribers and patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma (e.g., eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema). Instruct patients to consult a physician immediately should any of these signs or symptoms develop. Consider referral to an ophthalmologist in patients who develop ocular symptoms or use BREZTRI AEROSPHERE long term. 

In a 52-week trial that evaluated BREZTRI AEROSPHERE 320/18/9.6 mcg, GFF MDI 18/9.6 mcg, and BFF MDI 320/9.6 mcg in subjects with COPD, the incidence of cataracts ranged from 0.7% to 1.0% across groups.

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is an exemplar monogenetic neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) where a tremendous body of multi-species translational research has elucidated the underlying molecular pathophysiology, and more recently, in-depth electrophysiology of cortical function. Thus far, phenotypic rescue in animal models has not resulted in treatment breakthroughs in humans. Central to this discrepancy is a poor understanding of the constituent neurodynamics of averaged group effects and individual variability in human brain activity as related to higher-level cognitive symptomatology and clinical phenotype. The investigators' large collection of preliminary data demonstrates that individuals with FXS do not mount precise neural responses to the sensory auditory chirp and, instead, have "noisy" asynchronous gamma activity. Furthermore, a marked reduction in alpha power suggests altered thalamocortical function, reducing the ability to detect signal from noise and representing potential tractable targets for "bottom-up" entrainment. This approach involves three scientific aims, which, if addressed, would ascertain underlying mechanisms that may alleviate sensory and cognitive impairments. First, the investigators will study transient, non-continuous features (neurodynamics) of alpha and gamma oscillations in resting-state EEG and sensory auditory chirp that model patient-level heterogeneity and constitute group effects (Aim 1A), and will also identify what, if any, of these novel features are conserved in the Fmr1-/-KO using preexisting murine EEG data and represent patient subgroups (Aim 1B). Second, the research team will extend into cognition by studying neurodynamics and circuit modeling associated with statistical learning (SL), which shares similar neural mechanisms to the sensory auditory chirp (Aim 2). Third, the investigators will use individualized closed-loop alpha auditory entrainment (AAE) to attempt the normalization of neural signatures of the sensory auditory chirp and SL tasks (Aim 3). Aim 1 and 2 findings will provide critical data to optimize closed-loop parameters of AAE to serve as a "bottom- up" neural probe to understand the mechanics of disorder-relevant circuit activity through perturbation of thalamocortical drive. Ascertaining the mechanisms underlying these alterations would have a high clinical impact, especially to enhance early intervention to alter the trajectory of intellectual development in which no definitive treatments are available.
Men with newly diagnosed NCCN very low to favorable intermediate risk prostate cancer will be enrolled at their post biopsy urologist visit. Once enrolled, participants will have their prostate tissue sent off for their Genomic Prostate Score assay and men will undergo a prostate MRI to evaluate for potentially missed clinically significant prostate cancer. In a subsequent urologist visit, participants will choose their treatment choice. Men who choose active surveillance for their primary treatment choice will be monitored per clinical routine by PSA, digital rectal exam, and active surveillance prostate biopsy in 12-18 months. After month 6, men will be followed through their electronic medical records system to track adherence to their 12-18 month active surveillance prostate biopsy.
INTRODUCTION: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is defined as the failure of complete healing or disruption of the anastomosis subsequent to rectal cancer surgery, resulting in the extravasation of intestinal contents into the intra-abdominal or pelvic cavity. It is a serious complication of rectal cancer surgery, accounting for a considerable increase in morbidity and mortality. The use of fluorescence imaging technology in surgery allows surgeons to better evaluate blood perfusion. However, the conclusions of some existing studies are not consistent, so a consensus on whether the near-infrared indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) imaging system can reduce the incidence of AL is needed.
METHODS: This POSTER trial is designed as a multicentre, prospective, randomised controlled clinical study adhering to the "population, interventions, comparisons, outcomes (PICO)" principles. It is scheduled to take place from August 2019 to December 2024 across eight esteemed hospitals in China. The target population consists of patients diagnosed with rectal cancer through pathological confirmation, with tumours located≤10 cm from the anal verge, eligible for laparoscopic surgery. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group will receive intravenous injections of ICG twice, with intraoperative assessment of anastomotic blood flow using the near-infrared NIR-ICG system during total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery. Conversely, the control group will undergo conventional TME surgery without the use of the NIR-ICG system. A 30-day follow-up period postoperation will be conducted to monitor and evaluate occurrences of AL. The primary endpoint of this study is the incidence of AL within 30 days postsurgery in both groups. The primary outcome investigators will be blinded to the application of ICG angiography. Based on prior literature, we hypothesise an AL rate of 10.3% in the control group and 3% in the experimental group for this study. With a planned ratio of 2:1 between the number of cases in the experimental and control groups, and an expected 20% lost-to-follow-up rate, the initial estimated sample size for this study is 712, comprising 474 in the experimental group and 238 in the control group.
ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by Ethics committee of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University (approval number: 2019-P2-055-02). The results will be disseminated in major international conferences and peer-reviewed journals.

A method for stabilizing collagenous eye tissues by nitrite and nitroalcohol treatment. The topical stiffening agent contains sodium nitrite or a nitroalcohol in a buffered balanced salt solution and can be applied to the surface of the eye on a daily basis for a prolonged period. Application of the solution results in progressive stabilization of the corneal and scleral tissues through non-enzymatic cross-linking of collagen fibers. The compounds can penetrate into the corneal stroma without the need to remove the corneal epithelium. In addition, ultraviolet light is not needed to activate the cross-linking process. The resulting stabilization of corneal and scleral tissues can prevent future alterations in corneal curvature and has utility in diseases such as keratoconus, keratectasia, progressive myopia, and glaucoma.
PURPOSE:To provide a cosmetic having excellent safety and stability and containing a colorant consisting of fine chromium oxide pigment completely free from Cr<6+> ion. CONSTITUTION:The objective cosmetic is produced by using a colorant consisting of fine powder of chromium oxide pigment having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 2mum, containing <=2wt.% of coarse particles of >=5mum diameter and completely free from Cr<6+> ion and compounding the colorant to conventional cosmetic components. The fine chromium oxide pigment is the one treated with an organic reducing agent safe to the skin (e.g. ascorbic acid, especially L-ascorbic acid, etc.) and, as necessary, having a surface converted to hydrophobic with an organic silicate compound, higher fatty acid, etc. The hydrophobic treatment is effective in further improving the dispersibility and stability.
