[Q]: Prognosis of severe coronary artery disease with no indication of percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting remains poor. We have recently demonstrated that shock wave therapy effectively induces neovascularization and improves myocardial ischemia in a porcine model in vivo.', 'With permission from the Ethical Committee of our Institute, we treated nine patients with end-stage coronary artery disease with no indication of percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting (55-82 years old, five men and four women) with our cardiac shock wave therapy (200 shots/spot at 0.09 mJ/mm for 20-40 spots, 3 times a week/series). We followed-up the patients at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the therapy to examine the amelioration of myocardial ischemia. When needed, shock wave therapy was performed up to three series at 0, and 1, 3 or 6 months.', 'The cardiac shock wave therapy improved symptoms (Canadian Cardiovascular Society functional class score, from 2.7+/-0.2 to 1.8+/-0.2, P<0.01) and reduced nitroglycerin use (from 5.4+/-2.5 to 0.3+/-0.3/week, P<0.05). The treatment also improved myocardial perfusion as assessed by dipyridamole stress thallium scintigraphy (severity score, 25.2+/-7.2% improvement, P<0.05; extent score, 23.3+/-9.0% improvement, P=0.10; washout rate, 20+/-3 to 34+/-3, P<0.05). Myocardial perfusion was improved only in the ischemic area treated with the therapy. These beneficial effects persisted for 12 months. No procedural complications or adverse effects were noted.

[Q]: Endometrial cancers (ECs) are the most common form of gynecologic malignancy. Recent studies have reported that ECs reveal distinct markers for molecular pathogenesis, which in turn is linked to the various histological types of ECs. To understand further the molecular events contributing to ECs and endometrial tumorigenesis in general, a more precise identification of cancer-associated molecules and signaling networks would be useful for the detection and monitoring of malignancy, improving clinical cancer therapy, and personalization of treatments.', 'ECs-specific gene co-expression networks were constructed by differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Important pathways and putative cancer hub genes contribution to tumorigenesis of ECs were identified. An elastic-net regularized classification model was built using the cancer hub gene signatures to predict the phenotypic characteristics of ECs. The 19 cancer hub gene signatures had high predictive power to distinguish among three key principal features of ECs: grade, type, and stage. Intriguingly, these hub gene networks seem to contribute to ECs progression and malignancy via cell-cycle regulation, antigen processing and the citric acid (TCA) cycle.

[Q]: The purpose of this study was to determine whether oxygen treatment could attenuate the alterations in cerebral energy metabolism found in the brain following hypoxia-ischemia.', 'Seven-day-old rat pups were subjected to unilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 2 hrs of hypoxia (8% oxygen at 37 degrees C). The concentrations of high-energy phosphate compounds and glycolytic intermediates and the activity of Na+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase were measured at 4-72 hrs of recovery. Brain weight was used to determine the severity of the brain injury at 2 wks after insult.', 'Experimental setting.', 'Rat pups.', 'Pups were treated with 100% oxygen 1 hr after the insult at 2.5 atmospheres absolute (hyperbaric oxygen) or at normobaric pressure for a duration of 2 hrs.', 'During the initial period of recovery from hypoxia-ischemia, values of adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine remained at levels below normal, whereas the levels of glucose and other glycolytic intermediates were elevated. Hyperbaric oxygen and normobaric oxygen both attenuated brain injury, restored the levels of adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine, decreased the levels of the glycolytic intermediates, and increased the utilization of energy.
