Abstract
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the efficacy of topical administration of immunosuppressants and corticosteroids with concentration gradients in the management of patients with high-risk keratoplasty.METHODS: One hundred and six patients treated with topical immunosuppressants (50 eyes in FK506 group and 56 eyes in CsA group) and corticosteroids eye drops with concentration gradients were enrolled in the study. The rate of rejection episodes and irreversible rejection, the graft survival, and related influential factors were evaluated.RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 48.1±7.9 months (range, 36-60 months). The rate of rejection episodes (P=0.043) and irreversible rejection (P=0.062) was 14.0% and 6.00% in FK506 group, and 37.5% and 7.1% in CsA group, respectively.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated a significantly higher graft survival rate of FK506 group (81.6%±5.3%, 71.1%±6.3%), compared with that of CsA group (71.1%±6.3%, 57.5%±7.5%) at 3, 5 years after surgery (P=0.006). The multivariate logistic regression revealed that poor medication compliance with preoperative risk score (≥ 3, P=0.016), and endothelial immune rejection (P=0.033) were risk factors associated with graft survival.CONCLUSIONS: Topical administration of tacrolimus and corticosteroids with concentration gradients is effective in decreasing the incidence of immune rejection in high-risk keratoplasty. Careful instruction of reasonable use of topical tacrolimus to patients is critical to avoid immune rejection induced by stop taking in sudden.

Abstract
Background

Maternal dietary intake during pregnancy plays an important role in fetal development and birth outcomes. The aim of the present study was to determine maternal dietary diversity and Nutritional adequacy in relation with anthropometric measurements of newborn at birth as a cohort study in Tehran city.
methods

This prospective cohort study, was conducted by participation of 585 pregnant women referred to public health centers and hospitals covered by Shahid Beheshti, Tehran and Iran Universities in Tehran City. Using face-to-face interviews, general characteristics were obtained by questionnaire. Pre-pregnancy dietary intake was measured by a 168-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire at the first visit, and dietary intake during pregnancy was measured by 2 non-consecutive 24-hour food recall (one holiday and one regular day) at 31–34 weeks. Maternal height and weight were measured using standard tools and protocol at the first visit, and maternal weight at the end of pregnancy and data related to neonatal anthropometric indices were collected from mothers and neonates health records in the Sib electrical system. By applying SPSS software (version 23) the association was analyzed by linear regression with adjusting for confounding factors. P-value < 0.05 was considered as significant.
Results

Mean ± standard deviation of body mass index (BMI) of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy weight gain, BMI for age z-score (BAZ) at birth of infants were 24.52 ± 4.12, 12.16 ± 6.85 kg and − 0.61 ± 1.48, respectively. Mean ± SD of the Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) and Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) before and during pregnancy were 5.31 ± 1.11, vs.5.23 ± 1.42 and 289.85 ± 113.12 vs. 371.07 ± 197.28, respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors DDS in the third trimester of pregnancy was inversely correlated with WAZ (B=-0.16, 95% CI=- 0.23_0.30) and BAZ (B = -0.24, 95% CI=- 0.06_0. 42) at birth, MAR of pre-pregnancy (B = -0.001, 95% CI=- 0.002_0.00) and in the third trimester of pregnancy (B = -0.18, 95% CI=- 0.35_0.004) were negatively associated with WAZ at birth.
Conclusion

The findings showed that maternal nutritional status (dietary diversity and nutritional adequacy) before and during pregnancy were correlated with neonatal anthropometric indices at birth.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Background: In order to assess the correlation between pregnant women's urinary C-peptide secretion(UCPS) and insulin sensitivity, and to examine the predictors of gestational diabetes. Methods: we recruited 166 women between 20 and 28 weeks of gestation. Their height and weight were measured to calculate the body mass index (BMI). 75g OGTT was carried out, so as to detect the serum glucose, serum insulin and C-peptide levels. Besides, the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), homeostasis model assessment of β cell function (HOMA-β), Matsuda index, and area under the serum C-peptide curve (CPauc) were calculated. Additionally, the fasting urine specimen and all urine samples within 2 hours after OGTT were collected to determine the urinary C-peptide and urine volume to calculate UCPS. Results: We found that Fasting serum insulin (Fins), Fasting serum C-peptide (FCP), BMI, OGTT 2h UCPS(UCPS120), CPauc, Matsuda index and HOMA-IR of GDM group were higher than NGT group. FCP was correlated with UCPS0 (r=0.234, p=0.002) and HOMA-β(r=0.251, p=0.001). UCPS120 was correlated with CPauc(r=0.176 p<0.001), Matsuda index(r=-0.362, p<0.001) and HOMA-IR(r=0.336, p<0.001). The combination of BMI and UCPS120 was better than other index in predicting GDM, with a sensitivity of 72.0% and specificity of 70.7%. Conclusion: UCPS120 had the potential to be a new index to reflect insulin sensitivity in pregnant women. To screening the GDM, the combination of BMI and UCPS120 was better than other index.

Abstract
Background

Evidence on the relationship between prenatal exposure to NO2 and CO and spontaneous abortion (SAB) is insufficient. We investigated whether there is an association between maternal exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) before and during pregnancy and SAB.
Methods

We conducted a case-control study using medical records of 2445 pregnant women who admitted for abortion prior to 20 weeks of gestational age from January 2014 to December 2019 at a tertiary-care hospital in Shanghai, China. Of the 2445 participants, 1075 were SAB cases and 1370 were healthy controls (underwent elective abortions). Maternal exposure to NO2 and CO before and during pregnancy was estimated using daily air pollution concentration data. Multivariable logistic regression models were constructed to quantify the relationships between maternal exposure to NO2 or CO and the risk of SAB while controlling for potential confounders.
Results

NO2 exposure levels during pregnancy were significantly higher in SAB cases than in healthy controls (42.26 vs 40.67, P < 0.01). NO2 exposure during pregnancy was positively associated with the risk of SAB. An interquartile range (16 µg/m3) increase in NO2 exposure was associated with 67% increase in the odds of SAB (OR = 1.67, 95% CI, 1.28, 2.18). Analyses of associations by quartile of NO2 exposure showed that elevated NO2 exposure during pregnancy was associated with increased odds of SAB in linear dose-response manners. Compared with the lowest quartile of NO2 exposure, the odds of SAB in the fourth quartile of NO2 exposure increased 60% (OR = 1.60, 95% CI, 1.03–2.49). No associations of CO exposure with SAB risk were observed.
Conclusion

Our study suggested that exposure to NO2 during early pregnancy was associated with increased risk of SAB. Further studies are need to confirm our results and explore the potential biological mechanism underlying these associations.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Background: The presence of Aedes albopictus was first reported in Valencia (Eastern Spain) in 2015, having a high sanitary and social impact. Innovative tools for its control include the use of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia pipientis, which suppress Ae. albopictus populations. The release of mosquito males infected with the bacteria has proven effective as a control strategy in similar urban areas in Rome, Italy. Before this strategy could be implemented in Valencia, it is crucial to know whether natural local populations of Ae. albopictus are infected with Wolbachia pipientis and if so, identifying the bacteria strains/supergroups. Methods: Eggs were collected from water basins from the 19 districts of the city of Valencia between May and October 2019. A total of 50 Ae. albopictus reared mosquito adults were processed and analyzed for the presence Wolbachia by selected markers for 16S rDNA and surface protein (wsp) genes, under optimized PCR conditions and sequenced.Results: Our study reveal that 94,7% of the samples carried the endosymbiont, with no differences among sexes. In relation to the Wolbachia strains, both wAlbA and wAlbB strains were identified in the mosquitoes analyzed, with some samples carrying mixed infections. Conclusions: These data provide the first characterization of endosymbionts present in natural populations of Ae. albopictus in the Mediterranean area of Spain, and offers relevant information to evaluate the potential use of Wolbachia strains in order to achieve mosquito populations suppression through massive releases of males artificially infected.

Abstract
Background: The number of patients’ complaints based on dissatisfaction with dental care in the Republic of Kazakhstan remains high and is steadily increasing [1,2,3,4,5]. This study aims to evaluate the level of perception of patient-centered care among participants and find possible contributing factors that result in the high dissatisfaction among the patients.Methods: The cross-sectional study of 400 dentists and 400 patients from private dental clinics in the city of Nur-Sultan was conducted using a survey which contained PPOS by age and sex, dentists’ job satisfaction, job effort, job reward levels, and scales measuring the patients’ life satisfaction and communication assessment. The number of all respondents were 400 of dentists and 400 of patients ,correspondingly with an overall response rate of 80%. The middle-age (31-50 years) people have composed the major part of all the respondents, or 66.3% of the total.Results: According to the study, the patient-centered orientation of patients negatively correlated with life satisfaction (R=-0.201, P=0.000050) and communication assessment (P=0.230), while negatively correlated with age (P=0.379). Meanwhile, for dentists, or care providers, the patient-centered orientation also negatively correlated with life satisfaction (R=-0.204, P=0.000038). Conclusions: It was revealed that the majority of dentists and patients are doctor oriented. This study showed that all respondents associate the patient-centered approach with life satisfaction levels. Age is another important factor: the older proportion of the respondents mostly prefer doctor-centered attitudes.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
BackgroundClinically isolated syndrome (CIS) is the prodromal phase of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease course, with patients having experienced one neurological episode. Up to 90% of CIS patients develop subsequent MS, so it is important to differentiate those who will and will not convert to Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) in the future, which will allow for earlier treatment. We aimed to test whether peripheral blood immunophenotype could predict conversion from clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) to multiple sclerosis (MS).MethodsMulticolor flow cytometry was used to identify up to 50 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subpopulations in fresh blood samples. Further, cryopreserved PBMCs processed in another center were identically immunophenotyped in the same facility where the fresh blood specimens were analysed.Results In addition to major subpopulations (T and B lymphocytes, monocytes, dendritic cells (DC) and natural killer (NK) cells), we measured the frequencies of multiple CD4+ and CD8+ T cell, monocyte, and NK subsets. Among the studied subpopulations, DCs were significantly lower in CIS who converted to MS (CIS-C) compared to patients who did not (CIS-N). Also, CD56-CD16+ atypical NK subset was lower in CIS-C. We also studied cryopreserved CIS patient samples from a previous clinical trial involving the CIS populations. We observed significant differences between fresh and cryopreserved PBMC subpopulations. We were not able to detect the same differences in the cryopreserved samples.ConclusionsOur data using fresh blood samples reveals that while there were significant differences between CIS-N and CIS-C in the DCs and in one of the NK subsets, there was no overall difference between the immunophenotypes of CIS patients who did and did not convert to MS. These changes could be of physiological relevance to the disease pathogenesis. The fact that these differences were not observed in cryopreserved samples could mean that using fresh blood from patients may provide a more accurate tool to study the immune system composition.

Abstract
Background

The association between autism spectrum disorder and hydrocephalus is not well understood, despite demonstrated links between autism spectrum disorder and cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities. Based on the hypothesis that autism spectrum disorder and hydrocephalus may, at least in some cases, be two manifestations of a shared congenital brain pathology, we investigated the potential association between autism spectrum disorder and hydrocephalus in a large Danish population-based cohort, and whether the polygenic risk scores for autism spectrum disorder changed as a function of the presence of hydrocephalus.
Methods

Patients and controls were obtained from the Lundbeck Foundation Initiative for Integrative Psychiatric Research iPSYCH2012 case-cohort, which includes all patients with selected psychiatric disorders born in Denmark 1981–2005 along with randomly selected population controls (end of follow-up, December 31, 2016). The associations between individual psychiatric disorders and hydrocephalus were estimated using binary logistic regression with adjustment for age and sex. Polygenic risk scores for autism spectrum disorder were used to compare the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorder as a function of the presence of hydrocephalus.
Results

The cohort consisted of 86,571 individuals, of which 14,654 were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, 28,606 were population controls, and the remaining were diagnosed with other psychiatric disorders. We identified 201 hydrocephalus cases; 68 among autism spectrum disorder patients and 40 among controls (OR 3.77, 95% CI 2.48–5.78). The autism spectrum disorder-hydrocephalus association was significant over the entire subgroup spectrum of autism spectrum disorder. The presence of hydrocephalus did not markedly influence the polygenic risk scores in patients with autism spectrum disorder, which may indicate overlapping genetic architectures or other common aetiology.
Conclusions

Given the very strong association, we suggest that patients with autism spectrum disorder should be evaluated for co-occurring hydrocephalus on a routine basis as timely neurosurgical intervention is important. Further clarification of the genetic aetiology of both diseases, may help in elucidating shared genetic pathways between autism spectrum disorder and hydrocephalus, and it may elucidate the role of abnormal CSF dynamics in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders.

Authors: Yang Byung Ik , Lee Jae-young , Jin Bo-Hyoung 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis and toothbrushing on the lingual surfaces of teeth (lingual toothbrushing) among community dwelling Korean elders.Methods: A total of 150 elderly participants (34 males and 116 females) from Seoul, Korea, were cross-sectionally examined. Socio-demographic, habitual, and systemic health-related factors were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was performed for outcomes of periodontitis.Results: Oral health activities including lingual toothbrushing were closely correlated with oral health status. Lingual toothbrushing demonstrated a significant association with periodontitis. The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 8.98 (1.30-62.15) with inclusion of demographic status, systemic health status, oral health activity, and oral health status.Conclusions: Here, we demonstrate that lingual toothbrushing is associated with periodontitis in the elderly. The importance of lingual toothbrushing should be emphasized in oral health education.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Background: Cardiac strains were assumed to accurately predict adverse events after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). There are, however, some debates on it. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of cardiac strains obtained from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) on cardiac events and adverse LV remodeling.Methods: A prospective and two-center study included STEMI patients treated with primary PCI with implantation of stents. They underwent CMR before discharge. Major adverse cardiac events and LV remodeling were obtained during 6 months follow-up.Results: Between February 2015 and September 2016, 76 patients were available for the final analysis. We reported major adverse cardiac events (MACE) rate 23.7% using cardiac death, reinfarction, unplanned revascularization and heart failure as combined events in 6 months follow-up. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) can predict MACE independently, with OR=1.229 (1.087-1.390) and P=0.001. Moreover, GLS can predict LV remodeling independently, with OR=1.943 (1.133-3.334) and P=0.016.Conclusion: In patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI, CMR-determined GLS before discharge is a good predictor of MACE and adverse LV remodeling in 6 months follow-up.
