Keywords: administrative protection of intellectual property rights, unfair competition,pharmaceutical market, AMCU, NIPA Appeals Chamber, post-grant opposition,pre-grant opposition
The article is dedicated to study for peculiarities of intellectual propertyrights protection on pharmaceutical market under administrative procedure. Thepaper enlightens importance of balancing the regulation of antitrust and intellectualproperty law, through legislative reform as well. It is emphasized on the specifics ofthe jurisdictional form of rights protection, which is comprised from judicial protectionand administrative protection of infringed intellectual property rights. The authordenotes that the administrative procedure is a special form of protection, whichinvolves appealing to government agencies for violated rights protection. The studyuncovers the following main state bodies, entrusted with the relevant functions andwhich consider applications on measures for violated rights protection: The AntimonopolyCommittee of Ukraine and the Appeals Chamber of the National IntellectualProperty Authority (NIPA Appeals Chamber). It is stated that the AntimonopolyCommittee of Ukraine is qualified to consider offences in terms of protection againstunfair competition, respectively, the NIPA Appeals Chamber considers objectionsagainst the National Intellectual Property Authority, appeals and applications forrecognition of the trademark to be well-known in Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on themechanisms of «post-grant opposition» (recognition of rights to inventions (utilitymodel), industrial designs invalid) by the NIPA Appeals Chamber and «pre-grant opposition» (possibility of appealing decisions by third party to the NIPA Appeals Chamber).It is proved that the NIPA Appeals Chamber is a competent and qualified bodyin the intellectual property field, enabled to protect intellectual property rights, includingagainst «patent trolling», «evergreen» patents and counteract indirectly withunfair competition. The paper proves that the administrative procedure for the intellectualproperty rights protection is speedier than the judicial procedure, but is as effectiveand efficient as judicial protection.

Published: October 2021

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to observe the relationship between impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and bone mineral density (BMD) in different sites in adolescents.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on adolescents age 12–19 years of the United States. Data were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005–2006, 2007–2008, and 2009–2010 cycles. IFG was defined as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels that were ≥5.6 and &lt;7.0 mmol/L. IGT was defined as 2-h plasma glucose levels that were ≥7.8 and &lt;11.1 mmol/L after the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).ResultsAfter controlling for age, gender, race, and body mass index (BMI) Z-score, adolescents in different categories of IGT had significantly different levels of areal BMD (aBMD) and bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) (IGT main effect: P &lt; 0.05 for all, two-way ANOVA). There was no main effect between different categories of IFG with regard to aBMD and BMAD (P &gt; 0.05). There was no interaction between IFG and IGT with regard to aBMD and BMAD (P &gt; 0.05). In multiple regression analysis, the 2-h plasma glucose maintained an independent association with femoral neck aBMD (β = −0.011, 95% CI: −0.017~−0.006, P &lt; 0.001, R2 = 0.012), total femur aBMD (β = −0.015, 95% CI: −0.021~−0.009, P &lt; 0.001, R2 = 0.018), total spine aBMD (β = −0.015, 95% CI: −0.020~−0.010, P &lt; 0.001, R2 = 0.018), and total spine BMAD (β = −0.002, 95% CI: −0.003~0.000, P = 0.006, R2 = 0.003).ConclusionThe present study demonstrates that BMD was decreased in adolescents with IGT. Two-hour plasma glucose, not FPG, negatively correlated with BMD. The effect of 2-h plasma glucose was consistent across the sites of bone.

Published: October 2021

In recent years, as a renewable clean energy with many excellent characteristics, solar energy has been widely concerned. In this paper, we propose an ultra-broadband solar absorber based on metal tungsten and semiconductor GaAs structure. A multilayer metal semiconductor composite structure composed of W-Ti-GaAs three-layer films and GaAs gratings is proposed. The finite difference time domain method is used to simulate the performance of the proposed model. High efficiency surface plasmon resonance is excited by adjusting the geometric parameters, and the broadband absorption of up to 2,350 nm in 500–2850 nm is realized. The spectrum of the structure can be changed by adjusting the geometric parameters to meet different needs. The proposed absorber has good oblique incidence characteristics (0–60°) and high short-circuit current characteristics. The geometry of the absorber is clear, easy to manufacture, and has good photoelectric performance. It can realize solar energy collection, light heat conversion, high sensitive sensing and other functions.

Objectives: Primary pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (PPLELC) is an extremely rare subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, there are no established treatment protocols due to rarity of the cancer. Thus, this study aimed to explore the molecular and clinical characteristics of PPLELC.Study design and setting: Data from patients with PPLELC who were admitted to Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from August 2009 to September 2020 were retrospectively collected. Next-generation sequencing was performed to obtain a genomic profile and tumor mutation burden (TMB) value of patients with adequate tissue and divided them into two groups according to the expression level of PD-L1. The correlation of PD-L1 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics was evaluated by Pearson Chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier curves was applied to present the probability of survival between PD-L1 expression level and overall survival (OS). Moreover, the literature on the immunotherapy of advanced PPLELC published in PubMed between 2016 and 2020 were reviewed and the efficacy of immunotherapy were analyzed.Results: A total of 18 patients pathologically diagnosed as PPLELC were included. After a follow-up period of 8.8–138 months, 14 patients survived, three patients died and one patient lost, the median OS was 45.3 months Seven samples (tissue-available) tested by NGS and the median TMB was 2.5 mutations/Mb. 19 somatic mutated genes were recognized and TP53 (43%) and CYLD (43%) were the two most commonly mutated genes. Only seven patients who underwent NGS were tested for PD-L1. Three patients with high PD-L1 expression (PD-L1≥ 50%) and four patients with low PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 &lt;50%) were included. No significant correlation was observed between PD-L1 expression and clinical characteristics (age, gender, smoking status, tumor stage, lymph node metastasis) (p &gt; 0.05) and OS (p = 1). What’s more, 10 PPLELC patients involved in previous studies and one patient received nivolumab in the current study were collected retrospectively. 4/11 (36.4%) patients achieved PR, 6/11 (54.5%) patients achieved SD, and 1/11 (9.1%) patients achieved PD and the disease control rate (DCR) was 90.9%.Conclusions: The prognosis of PPLELC is better than that of other NSCLC, and immunotherapy may be a promising treatment to prolong the survival of advanced PPLELC patients. Whether the immunotherapy efficacy of PPLELC can be predicted by PD-L1 and TMB needs further clinical investigation. CYLD genetic alterations may participate in Epstein–Barr virus-mediated tumorigenesis in PPLELC, providing a novel therapeutic target.

Background:Cerebrovascular dysfunction has been proposed as a possible mechanism underlying cognitive impairment in the context of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of cerebrovascular disease, such as white matter hyperintensities (WMH), is often observed in DM, the vascular dynamics underlying this pathology remain unclear. Thus, we assessed the independent and combined effects of DM status and different vascular hemodynamic measures (i.e., systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure and pulse pressure index [PPi]) on WMH burden in cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods:559 older adults (mean age: 72.4 years) from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative were categorized into those with diabetes (DM+; CU = 43, MCI = 34) or without diabetes (DM-; CU = 279; MCI = 203). Participants underwent BP assessment, from which all vascular hemodynamic measures were derived. T2-FLAIR MRI was used to quantify WMH burden. Hierarchical linear regression, adjusting for age, sex, BMI, intracranial volume, CSF amyloid, and APOE ε4 status, examined the independent and interactive effects of DM status and each vascular hemodynamic measure on total WMH burden.Results:The presence of DM (p= 0.046), but not PPi values (p= 0.299), was independently associated with greater WMH burden overall after adjusting for covariates. Analyses stratified by cognitive status revealed a significant DM status x PPi interaction within the MCI group (p= 0.001) such that higher PPi values predicted greater WMH burden in the DM + but not DM- group. No significant interactions were observed in the CU group (allps &gt; 0.05).Discussion:Results indicate that higher PPi values are positively associated with WMH burden in diabetic older adults with MCI, but not their non-diabetic or CU counterparts. Our findings suggest that arterial stiffening and reduced vascular compliance may have a role in development of cerebrovascular pathology within the context of DM in individuals at risk for future cognitive decline. Given the specificity of these findings to MCI, future exploration of the sensitivity of earlier brain markers of vascular insufficiency (i.e., prior to macrostructural white matter changes) to the effects of DM and arterial stiffness/reduced vascular compliance in CU individuals is warranted.

Objective: To investigate the association between plasma amyloid-β (Aβ) levels and neuropsychological performance in patients with cognitive decline using a highly sensitive nano-biosensing platform.Methods: We prospectively recruited 44 patients with cognitive decline who underwent plasma Aβ analysis, amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, and detailed neuropsychological tests. Patients were classified into a normal control (NC, n = 25) or Alzheimer’s disease (AD, n = 19) group based on amyloid PET positivity. Multiple linear regression was performed to determine whether plasma Aβ (Aβ40, Aβ42, and Aβ42/40) levels were associated with neuropsychological test results.Results: The plasma levels of Aβ42/40 were significantly different between the NC and AD groups and were the best predictor of amyloid PET positivity by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis [area under the curve of 0.952 (95% confidence interval, 0.892–1.000)]. Although there were significant differences in the neuropsychological performance of cognitive domains (language, visuospatial, verbal/visual memory, and frontal/executive functions) between the NC and AD groups, higher levels of plasma Aβ42/40 were negatively correlated only with verbal and visual memory performance.Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that plasma Aβ analysis using a nano-biosensing platform could be a useful tool for diagnosing AD and assessing memory performance in patients with cognitive decline.
Identification and Validation of an Immune-Related lncRNA Signature to Facilitate Survival Prediction in Gastric Cancer

Published: October 2021

BackgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are versatile in functions and can regulate cancer development, including the modulation of cancer immunity. Immune-related lncRNA signatures predicting prognosis have been reported in multiple cancers, but relevant studies in gastric cancer (GC) are still lacking.MethodsWe performed a comprehensive analysis using TCGA and Immport databases and identified an immune-related lncRNA signature by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry assays were used for further validation. KEGG and GO analysis and ceRNA network establishment were carried out to explore the regulatory functions.ResultsWe first identified an immune-related lncRNA signature, which can stratify gastric cancer patients into high- and low-risk subgroups and the high-risk cases frequently suffered from shorter overall survival time. Next, we validated the reliability of the lncRNA signature in an independent 75 gastric cancer samples and demonstrated that the three-year survival rate in high-risk patients was only 30.8% versus 66.5% in low-risk counterparts. Functional exploration indicated that the lncRNA signature might participate in multiple cancer-associated processes including cell adhesion and migration, cytokine-receptor interaction and immune evasion. Additionally, we observed that high-risk samples tended to form an immunosuppressive microenvironment, which had more M2-polarized macrophages and Tregs, but fewer CD8 effector T cells within tumors. Moreover, we found that PD-1 and PD-L1 were dramatically upregulated in a subset of high-risk patients with abundant M2 and Treg infiltration, implying these patients may benefit from anti-PD-1 and PD-L1 immunotherapy.ConclusionsThese results showed that the immune-related lncRNA signature had a prominent capacity to predict overall survival and the immune status of microenvironment in gastric cancer. Our findings may be useful for the risk-stratification management and provide a valuable clue to identify proper patients potentially benefit from immune checkpoint therapy in gastric cancer.

Aim: This study aimed to analyze clinical characteristics and image findings in patients initially diagnosed with renal masses and treated on the Société Internationale d'Oncologie Pédiatrique (SIOP) 2001 protocol for Wilms tumor (WT) that eventually were diagnosed with different pathologies.Methods: We reviewed the preoperative symptoms, laboratory tests, and images of patients who were initially treated for WT and proved to have other diagnoses. Data from these patients were compared to those of the last 10 patients with WT and the last 10 patients with neuroblastoma (NBL) treated at a single institution.Results: From June 2001 to December 2020, we treated 299 patients with NBL and 194 with WT. Five patients treated with preoperative chemotherapy for WT were postoperatively diagnosed with NBL (one patient had bilateral renal masses and one with multifocal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis). Three underwent nephrectomy, two biopsies only, and one adrenalectomy due to intraoperative characteristics. Regarding clinical presentation, abdominal mass or swelling was very suggestive of WT (p = 0.011); pain, although very prevalent in the study group (67%), was not statistically significant, as well as intratumoral calcifications on computed tomography (CT) (67%). Urinary catecholamines were elevated in all patients mistreated for WT with the exception of the patient with pyelonephritis in which it was not collected.Conclusion: Some pathologies can be misdiagnosed as WT, especially when they present unspecified symptoms and dubious images. Diagnostic accuracy was 98.1%, which highlights the quality of the multidisciplinary team. Abdominal mass or swelling is highly suggestive of WT, especially in the absence of intratumoral calcifications on CT. If possible, urinary catecholamines should be collected at presentation as they help in the differential diagnosis of NBL.
