Weakened constraints from b-->sgamma on supersymmetry flavor mixing due to next-to-leading-order corrections. We examine the process B-->X(s)gamma in minimal supersymmetry (SUSY) with general squark flavor mix-ings. We include all relevant next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections and dominant NLO SUSY effects from the gluino. We find that gluino-squark corrections to down-type quark masses induce large NLO corrections to the dominant Wilson coefficients whose size is often similar to those at LO, es-pecially at large tan(beta. For micro>0, destructive interference and suppression by the renormalization group running lead to a "focusing effect" of reducing the size of gluino corrections to the branching ratio, and also of reducing the LO sensitivity to flavor mixings among squarks. Constraints from B(B-->X(s)gamma) on the SUSY-breaking scale can become significantly weakened relative to the minimal flavor violation case, even, at large tan(beta, for small flavor mixings.

A Plug-and-Latch Mechanism for Gating the Mechanosensitive Piezo Channel. The mechanosensitive Piezo1 and Piezo2 channels convert mechanical force into cation permeation.

The Incidence, Characteristics and Outcomes of Pneumothorax in Thai Surgical Intensive Care Units (Thai-SICU Study). Objective: To identify incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of pneumothorax among patients who specifically stayed in surgical intensive care units (SICUs). Material and Method: This was a multicenter prospective cohort study conducted in 9 University-affiliated SICUs inThailand. Incidence of pneumothorax and its outcomes were evaluated from April 2011 to January 2013. Results: 4,652 patients who were admitted to SICU were enrolled. The incidence of pneumothorax was 0.5% (25 cases) in our study. Significant characteristics were found in the pneumothorax group, including: lower BMI, underlying malignancy and COPD, higher APACHE-II and SOFA score within 24 hours of first ICU admission, pulmonary infiltration pattern of chest imaging and usage of mechanical ventilation. In terms of outcome, there were higher SICU mortality and 28-day hospital mortality in pneumothorax than non-pneumothorax patients at 28.0% vs. 9.6%, p = 0.002 and at 44.0% vs. 13.6%, p<0.001, respectively. Conclusion: Patients admitted to surgical intensive care units who developed pneumothorax had higher risk of intensive care unit mortality and 28-day hospital mortality than non-pneumothorax patients, as well as a longer intensive care unit and hospital length of stays.

Interfacial tension and wetting in colloid-polymer mixtures. We calculate the interfacial tension and the wetting behavior in phase separated colloid-polymer mixtures both for ideal and excluded volume interacting polymers. Within the recently developed extension of the free volume theory to include polymer interactions the interfacial tension of the free interface is calculated by adding a van der Waals squared gradient term. The wetting behavior at a hard wall is calculated following a Cahn-Fisher-Nakanishi approach taking the one- and two-body colloid-wall interactions into account. Comparing results for interacting polymers with those for ideal polymers we find that for interacting polymers the interfacial tension does not increase as steeply as a function of the gas-liquid colloid density difference. Furthermore, the wetting transition shifts to higher polymer concentrations, even to above the triple line. The predictions for both the interfacial tension and the wetting are compared to recent experiments.

Role of endogenous centrally released NO in cardiovascular adaptation to hypovolemia in WKY and SHR. The role of endogenous centrally released nitric oxide (NO) during hypovolemia was investigated in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

In WKY, hypotension was associated with significant bradycardia (P < 0.001), whereas in SHR slight acceleration of heart rate was observed. In series 2 hemorrhage resulted in a small but significant increase of mean arterial pressure (MAP; P < 0.05) and considerable tachycardia (P < 0.001). In SHR, L-NNA did not modify the decrease of MAP during hypovolomia, and bleeding resulted in a significant bradycardia (P < 0.001). Pretreatment with L-Arg in series 3 was able to reverse the effects of L-NNA on changes of MAP and heart rate during hypovolemia.

However, recent neuroimaging evidence questions this view by also showing activity in the vmPFC during threat acquisition. Here we investigate the casual role of vmPFC in the acquisition of pavlovian threat conditioning by assessing skin conductance response (SCR) and declarative memory of stimulus-outcome contingencies during a differential pavlovian threat-conditioning paradigm in eight patients with a bilateral vmPFC lesion, 10 with a lesion outside PFC and 10 healthy participants (each group included both females and males).

Revaluing the Role of vmPFC in the Acquisition of Pavlovian Threat Conditioning in Humans. The role of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) in human pavlovian threat conditioning has been relegated largely to the extinction or reversal of previously acquired stimulus-outcome associations. However, recent neuroimaging evidence questions this view by also showing activity in the vmPFC during threat acquisition. Here we investigate the casual role of vmPFC in the acquisition of pavlovian threat conditioning by assessing skin conductance response (SCR) and declarative memory of stimulus-outcome contingencies during a differential pavlovian threat-conditioning paradigm in eight patients with a bilateral vmPFC lesion, 10 with a lesion outside PFC and 10 healthy participants (each group included both females and males). Results showed that patients with vmPFC lesion failed to produce a conditioned SCR during threat acquisition, despite no evidence of compromised SCR to unconditioned stimulus or compromised declarative memory for stimulus-outcome contingencies. These results suggest that the vmPFC plays a causal role in the acquisition of new learning and not just in the extinction or reversal of previously acquired learning, as previously thought. Given the role of the vmPFC in schema-related processing and latent structure learning, the vmPFC may be required to construct a detailed representation of the task, which is needed to produce a sustained conditioned physiological response in anticipation of the unconditioned stimulus during threat acquisition.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Pavlovian threat conditioning is an adaptive mechanism through which organisms learn to avoid potential threats, thus increasing their chances of survival.

Robust time-dependent upregulation occurred in all subunits. We then tested whether IL15Ralpha knockout (KO) affected the maintenance of body temperature and activity level after a single dose of LPS. Circadian telemetry data were analyzed by the cosinor method. Both wild-type and KO mice had clear 24-h rhythms of basal temperature and activity. KO mice had a significantly higher midline estimating statistic of rhythm (MESOR; approximating 24 h mean) of temperature and delayed 24-h acrophase (peak) of activity than the wild-type mice. LPS disrupted the circadian rhythm of activity more severely in the KO group.

Potential protective role of IL15Ralpha during inflammation. We have shown that TNFalpha specifically activates the interleukin-15 (IL15) system in cerebral endothelial cells composing the blood-brain barrier. To determine the functions of cerebral IL15 signaling in inflammation, we first treated mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and determined the expression of the three receptor subtypes of IL15. Robust time-dependent upregulation occurred in all subunits. We then tested whether IL15Ralpha knockout (KO) affected the maintenance of body temperature and activity level after a single dose of LPS. Circadian telemetry data were analyzed by the cosinor method. Both wild-type and KO mice had clear 24-h rhythms of basal temperature and activity. KO mice had a significantly higher midline estimating statistic of rhythm (MESOR; approximating 24 h mean) of temperature and delayed 24-h acrophase (peak) of activity than the wild-type mice. LPS disrupted the circadian rhythm of activity more severely in the KO group. Besides a decrease in MESOR and 24-h amplitude of activity after LPS, the KO mice showed a significant reduction of MESOR, amplitude, and changed acrophase for temperature on the second of 2 days. The disrupted circadian rhythm of temperature and activity in the KO mice after LPS suggests that upregulated IL15 receptors may serve a beneficial role to counteract the consequences of neuroinflammation.

[Tumor Lysis Syndrome in a Patient with Germ Cell Tumor : A Case Report]. A 36-year-old man presented to our hospital with right scrotal swelling. A computed tomographic scan revealed a mass in the right scrotum, multiple masses in the lung and liver, and enlarged cervical, mediastinal, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. After right high orchiectomy, he was diagnosed with nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (pT3N3M1b), with poor risk prediction according to the International Germ Cell Consensus classification. We started chemotherapy with bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin. Since serum alphafetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels did not decrease to normal levels, second-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin was administered. Six days after the start of treatment, the patient became unconscious, and his blood pressure decreased. Seven days later, blood tests revealed high uric acid levels, hyperphosphatemia, and increased creatinine. This was diagnosed as tumor lysis syndrome. Following diagnosis, continuous hemodiafiltration was started, and his condition gradually improved.

Association between PKA gene polymorphism and NTDs in high risk Chinese population in Shanxi. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PKA and neural tube defects (NTDs) in Chinese population. METHOD: A total of 183 NTDs cases and 200 healthy controls were used in this study. 7 selected single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites in the PKA gene were analyzed with MassArray high-throughput DNA analyzer with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. A series of statistical methods were carried out to investigate the correlation between the SNPs and the patient susceptibility to NTDs. RESULTS: Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between the SNP sites rs12132032 in PRKACB and NTDs. The AA genotype, A-allele and dominant AA in rs12132032 significantly increased the incidence of NTDs especially anencephaly (OR=3.87, 95% CI: 1.80-8.34 with genotype; OR=2.08, 95% CI: 1.43-3.04 with allele; OR=3.10, 95% CI: 1.53-6.26 with dominant). The T-allele of rs594631 in PRKACB was correlative with NTDs in male but not in female. CONCLUSIONS: The gene polymorphism loci rs12132032 in PRKACB maybe a potential risk factor for anencephaly in Chinese population from Shanxi, while gender susceptibility may influence the correlation.

Previous research has revealed that the leader-2-containing and leader-4-containing mRNAs are completely polysomal, whereas mRNAs possessing leader-3 are predominantly present in the untranslated free messenger ribonucleoprotein particle (mRNP), both in cell lines and in foetal liver tissue. To investigate the influence of the IGF-2 leader sequences on expression of the gene, IGF-2 leader-luciferase and leader-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fusion constructs were transfected transiently into different cell lines. In these experiments, the levels of expression obtained by constructs with leader-1, leader-2 and leader-4 were very similar, both at the level of mRNA and protein.

The remaining 5' part of the leader sequence was efficient both in RNA expression and in translation, but the 3' part of the leader (nucleotides 906-1180) again moderately repressed luciferase expression, possibly due to endonucleolytic cleavage in this region of the RNA. To evaluate the effect of the IGF-2 leaders on in vitro translation, leader-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fusion mRNAs were synthesized and translated in reticulocyte lysates. Compared to a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase control RNA, leader-1-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase mRNA translated over 20-fold less efficiently, whereas leader-2 repressed translation of its chloramphenicol acetyltransferase mRNA moderately (3-5 fold). Despite a general improvement of the translation efficiency upon translation in HeLa lysate, these discrepancies with the transfection data persisted. Translation of leader-3-containing mRNAs in reticulocyte lysates was barely detectable. The whole 5' region of leader-3, up to nucleotide 614, could be shown to be repressive. Only leader-4 directed translation of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase open reading frame efficiently. As with leader-1 and leader-2, this L4-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase mRNA translated in a cap-dependent manner under the conditions of our experiments; translation of this mRNA was relatively resistant to addition of cap analogue.

A one-year longitudinal study of English and Japanese vowel production by Japanese adults and children in an English-speaking setting. The effect of age of acquisition on first- and second-language vowel production was investigated. Eight English vowels were produced by Native Japanese (NJ) adults and children as well as by age-matched Native English (NE) adults and children. Productions were recorded shortly after the NJ participants' arrival in the USA and then one year later. In agreement with previous investigations [Aoyama, et al., J. Phon. 32, 233-250 (2004)], children were able to learn more, leading to higher accuracy than adults in a year's time. Based on the spectral quality and duration comparisons, NJ adults had more accurate production at Time 1, but showed no improvement over time. The NJ children's productions, however, showed significant differences from the NE children's for English "new" vowels /I/, /epsilon/, /alpha/, /v/ and /upsilon/ at Time 1, but produced all eight vowels in a native-like manner at Time 2. An examination of NJ speakers' productions of Japanese /i/, /a/, /u/ over time revealed significant changes for the NJ Child Group only. Japanese /i/ and /a/ showed changes in production that can be related to second language (L2) learning. The results suggest that L2 vowel production is affected importantly by age of acquisition and that there is a dynamic interaction, whereby the first and second language vowels affect each other.

Mercury contamination associated with artisanal gold mining on the island of Mindanao, the Philippines. The Agusan River basin of eastern Mindanao, the Philippines, hosts several centres of artisanal gold mining, the most important of which, Diwalwal, is a significant gold producer in global terms.

Based on the recombinant immunodominant portions of the target antigens, ELISA systems are commercially available for the detection of circulating antibodies against desmoglein 1, desmoglein 3, envoplakin, BP180, and BP230. Autoantibodies against the soluble ectodomain of BP180 (LAD-1), laminin 332, type VII collagen, and most recently, laminin gamma1 can be detected by Western blotting with recombinant or cell-derived forms of these proteins. The definite differentiation between the various immunobullous disorders that comprise about a dozen entities is increasingly important since more diverse treatment options are employed. Exact diagnosis is also pivotal for the prognosis, since some autoimmune bullous diseases may indicate an underlying tumor.

Modern diagnosis of autoimmune blistering skin diseases. The diagnostic gold standard of autoimmune bullous diseases is the detection of autoantibodies in skin or mucous membranes by direct immunofluorescence microscopy of a perilesional biopsy. The molecular characterisation of several target antigens within the last 10 years has, however, fostered the development of sensitive and specific diagnostic tools that allow the serological diagnosis in about 90% of patients. Based on the recombinant immunodominant portions of the target antigens, ELISA systems are commercially available for the detection of circulating antibodies against desmoglein 1, desmoglein 3, envoplakin, BP180, and BP230. Autoantibodies against the soluble ectodomain of BP180 (LAD-1), laminin 332, type VII collagen, and most recently, laminin gamma1 can be detected by Western blotting with recombinant or cell-derived forms of these proteins. The definite differentiation between the various immunobullous disorders that comprise about a dozen entities is increasingly important since more diverse treatment options are employed. Exact diagnosis is also pivotal for the prognosis, since some autoimmune bullous diseases may indicate an underlying tumor. Association with a malignancy has been shown in paraneoplastic pemphigus (in 100%) and anti-laminin 332 mucous pemphigoid (in 25%) In pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, and bullous pemphigoid, autoantibodies to desmoglein 3, desmoglein 1, and BP180, respectively, have been shown to correlate with the disease activity. The detection of serum autoantibodies during the course of the disease may thus be helpful in guiding treatment decisions in these patients.

Bronchial reactions to the inhalation of high-dose tobramycin in cystic fibrosis. It has been established that inhaled tobramycin has a positive effect on respiratory function in Pseudomonas-aeruginosa positive patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). In a previous study the authors reported that low-dose tobramycin preparations containing the preservative phenol caused significant bronchial obstruction. Recently, high-dose tobramycin preparations with and without preservatives/phenol have become available. To assess the airway response to these preparations flow/volume curves in 12 patients with CF (four males, eight females, mean age+/-SD=19.0+/-7.4 yrs) were measured. The tobramycin preparations: Nebicina 2.0 mL (150 mg, containing the preservative phenol), Distobram 3.0 mL (150 mg, containing preservatives), Tobi 5.0 mL (300 mg), Tobi 2.5 mL (150 mg), and Tobi 5.0 mL, were used after bronchodilator application. Immediately and/or 5 min after the tobramycin inhalations there was a significant fall in lung function with the different preparations. There was no significant difference between preparations with and without preservatives/phenol. The bronchial obstruction was comparable to that observed after the inhalation of low-dose tobramycin and after saline. After 10 min of inhalation, the lung function returned to baseline values. Most patients preferred the Tobi 2.5 mL and disliked the Nebicina preparation due to the unpleasant taste. Preceding treatment with bronchodilators prevented the decline in lung function. Assessment of bronchial response at the first nebulisation of high-dose tobramycin and, in case of significant obstruction, beta-agonists in combination with the antibiotic inhalation are recommended.

Although this drug is often administered to patients with severe congestive heart failure, the net consequences of these opposing actions have not been evaluated in such patients. The hemodynamic and neurohormonal response to oral quinidine (600 mg) in 19 patients with severe chronic heart failure was therefore determined. Vasodilation was the predominant effect of quinidine, with reductions in mean arterial, left ventricular filling and right atrial pressures of -9% (confidence interval [CI] -5 to -13), -8% (CI -19 to 3), -15% (CI -26 to -4), respectively. The quinidine-induced vasodilation increased plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations by 44% (CI +17 to +72) and 47% (CI +2 to +91), respectively. No change in cardiac performance was noted, with the cardiac index slightly increased (+10%, CI +2 to +17) and stroke work index unchanged (0%, CI -11 to +11) after quinidine. Although the mean serum quinidine concentration was within the therapeutic range or lower in all patients, the serum quinidine concentration and the change in mean arterial pressure did correlate (r2 = 0.64).

Hemodynamic and neurohormonal effects of quinidine in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction secondary to coronary artery disease or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Quinidine causes vasodilation directly and by inhibition of adrenergic vasoconstriction, but it also exerts negative inotropic activity. Although this drug is often administered to patients with severe congestive heart failure, the net consequences of these opposing actions have not been evaluated in such patients. The hemodynamic and neurohormonal response to oral quinidine (600 mg) in 19 patients with severe chronic heart failure was therefore determined. Vasodilation was the predominant effect of quinidine, with reductions in mean arterial, left ventricular filling and right atrial pressures of -9% (confidence interval [CI] -5 to -13), -8% (CI -19 to 3), -15% (CI -26 to -4), respectively. The quinidine-induced vasodilation increased plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations by 44% (CI +17 to +72) and 47% (CI +2 to +91), respectively. No change in cardiac performance was noted, with the cardiac index slightly increased (+10%, CI +2 to +17) and stroke work index unchanged (0%, CI -11 to +11) after quinidine. Although the mean serum quinidine concentration was within the therapeutic range or lower in all patients, the serum quinidine concentration and the change in mean arterial pressure did correlate (r2 = 0.64). In conclusion, vasodilation is the predominant hemodynamic effect of oral quinidine in patients with congestive heart failure. However, potential adverse effects may be caused by consequent neurohormonal activation.

Therefore, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of cefovecin after a single subcutaneous injection at 8 mg/kg bodyweight in four rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and sensitivity of bacterial isolates from fresh skin wounds were determined. After administration, blood, urine, and feces were collected, and concentrations of cefovecin were determined. Further, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for bacteria isolated from fresh skin wounds of monkeys during a health control program were determined. The mean maximum plasma concentration (C(max) ) of cefovecin was 78 mug/mL and was achieved after 57 min. The mean apparent long elimination half-life (t1/2) was 6.6 h and excretion occurred mainly via urine. The MIC for the majority of the bacteria examined was >100 mug/mL. The PK of cefovecin in rhesus monkeys is substantially different than for dogs and cats.

Single subcutaneous dosing of cefovecin in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta): a pharmacokinetic study. Cefovecin is a third-generation cephalosporin approved for antibacterial treatment with a 14-day dosing interval in dogs and cats. This antibiotic may also be useful for zoo and wildlife veterinary medicine, because of its broad spectrum and long duration of activity. The aim of the study was to determine whether cefovecin is a suitable antibiotic to prevent skin wound infection in rhesus monkeys. Therefore, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of cefovecin after a single subcutaneous injection at 8 mg/kg bodyweight in four rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and sensitivity of bacterial isolates from fresh skin wounds were determined. After administration, blood, urine, and feces were collected, and concentrations of cefovecin were determined. Further, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for bacteria isolated from fresh skin wounds of monkeys during a health control program were determined. The mean maximum plasma concentration (C(max) ) of cefovecin was 78 mug/mL and was achieved after 57 min. The mean apparent long elimination half-life (t1/2) was 6.6 h and excretion occurred mainly via urine. The MIC for the majority of the bacteria examined was >100 mug/mL. The PK of cefovecin in rhesus monkeys is substantially different than for dogs and cats. Cefovecin rapidly reached C(max) which however was lower than most of the MIC levels and with a very short t1/2. Therefore, cefovecin is not recommended for treating skin wounds in rhesus monkeys.

Previous studies showed the benefits of local anesthesia in various forms over lubricant jelly alone, but they are rarely used due to their inconvenience and unavailability. The authors conducted a double-blind randomized controlled study to compare a commercial-available 10% lidocaine spray plus 2% lidocaine jelly lubrication and 2% lidocaine jelly lubrication alone prior to NG intubation. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Patients who fulfilled the indications for NG intubation were randomized to receive either 10% lidocaine spray or placebo (normal saline) spray to the nostril and throat prior to NG intubation. NG tubes lubricated with 2% lidocaine jelly were then inserted by experienced physicians. Physician, who sprayed, inserted the NG tubes and collected the patient's data, did not know the content of the spray, while patients were also blinded against the information of the spray. RESULTS: Sixty patients were included in the present study. Thirty one randomly received lidocaine spray and 29 received placebo spray. There were more female patients in the lidocaine group (65% vs. 28%, p=0.04), but ages, indications for NG intubation, size of NG tube, and physicians' experience in the procedure were similar in both groups. Patients' discomfort after being sprayed was also similar in both groups. However during the NG intubation, the patients in the lidocaine group experienced less pain as measured by visual analog scale (23.6 +/- 16.6 vs. 43.1 +/- 31.4 mm, p=0.005) and less discomfort (30.0 +/- 24.4 vs. 51.4 +/- 30.0 mm, p=0.004) than the placebo group. Ninety-three percent of the patients in the lidocaine group favored the same spray for their next intubations, while 65% of the placebo group did (p = 0.009). In addition, there was more physicians' satisfaction in the lidocaine group as measured by 5-point Likert scale (p=0.041). Likewise, 61% of the physicians favored lidocaine spray compared to 34.5% of the placebo spray (p=0.038). Degree of difficulty, duration of intubation, number of attempts and success rates of NG intubations were as well similar in both groups. No complications were found in the present study. CONCLUSION: 10% lidocaine spray plus 2% lidocaine jelly lubrication was more effective in relieving patients' pain, discomfort, and resulted in higher physicians' satisfaction. There were also no additional side effects as compared to 2% lidocaine jelly lubrication alone. Therefore, it should be recommended for routine application." ], "offsets": [ [ 211, 2795 ] ] } ]

The capsaicin cough reflex in eczema patients with respiratory symptoms elicited by perfume. Respiratory symptoms elicited by perfume are common in the population but have unclear pathophysiology. Increased capsaicin cough responsiveness has been associated with the symptoms, but it is unknown whether the site of the symptoms in the airways influences this association. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the site of airway symptoms elicited by perfume and cough responsiveness to bronchial challenge with capsaicin. 21 eczema patients with respiratory symptoms elicited by perfume were compared with 21 healthy volunteers in a sex- and age-matched case control study. The participants completed a symptom questionnaire and underwent a bronchial challenge with capsaicin. Lower, but not upper, respiratory symptoms elicited by perfume were associated with increased capsaicin cough responsiveness. Having severe symptoms to perfume (n=11) did not relate to the site of the symptoms in the airways and was not associated with increased capsaicin cough responsiveness. In conclusion, respiratory symptoms elicited by perfume may reflect local hyperreactivity related to defensive reflexes in the airways, and measurements of the capsaicin cough reflex are relevant when patients with lower respiratory symptoms related to environmental perfume exposures are investigated.

Reduced DHEA-S levels have been shown to be associated with depression in general population. Abnormalities in hormone production and metabolism are found in hemodialysis patients. However, the association between DHEA-S levels and depression in hemodialysis patients has not been established. METHOD: We conducted a cross-sectional study, in which 80 patients under regular hemodialysis were studied, and their serum DHEA-S levels were analyzed. RESULTS: The prevalence of depression in our studied hemodialysis population is 37.5% (30/80). The DHEA-S level was 1138.1+/-1216.9 ng/mL in male patients and 502.1+/-389.4 ng/mL in female patients. The levels were not significantly different between patients with or without depression (910.8+/-1127.1 ng/mL vs. 769.3+/-848.3 ng/mL, P=0.533). As compared to the non-depressed patients, the depressed patients were more likely to be male, with lower body mass index, consuming more alcohol, and with more co-morbidity. The prevalence of depression was not associated with age, educational background, smoking, duration of dialysis, hemoglobin, albumin, CRP, ferritin, and urea clearance (Kt/V and URR). The serum DHEA-S levels exhibited significant and independent associations with age, gender, diabetes mellitus, and the levels of serum albumin.

Lack of association between plasma dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) levels and depression in hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVE: Depression is common in hemodialysis patients. Reduced DHEA-S levels have been shown to be associated with depression in general population. Abnormalities in hormone production and metabolism are found in hemodialysis patients. However, the association between DHEA-S levels and depression in hemodialysis patients has not been established. METHOD: We conducted a cross-sectional study, in which 80 patients under regular hemodialysis were studied, and their serum DHEA-S levels were analyzed. RESULTS: The prevalence of depression in our studied hemodialysis population is 37.5% (30/80). The DHEA-S level was 1138.1+/-1216.9 ng/mL in male patients and 502.1+/-389.4 ng/mL in female patients. The levels were not significantly different between patients with or without depression (910.8+/-1127.1 ng/mL vs. 769.3+/-848.3 ng/mL, P=0.533). As compared to the non-depressed patients, the depressed patients were more likely to be male, with lower body mass index, consuming more alcohol, and with more co-morbidity. The prevalence of depression was not associated with age, educational background, smoking, duration of dialysis, hemoglobin, albumin, CRP, ferritin, and urea clearance (Kt/V and URR). The serum DHEA-S levels exhibited significant and independent associations with age, gender, diabetes mellitus, and the levels of serum albumin. CONCLUSION: The study suggested a lack of association between plasma DHEA-S levels and depression in hemodialysis patients.

The limits of detection for the simultaneous determination of zinc, cadmium, copper and lead on the screen printed electrodes were found to be 350 microg L-1 for Zn(II), 25 microg L-1 for Cd(II), 3 microg L-1 for Pb(II) and 3 microg L-1 for Cu(II). Practical usability for the simultaneous detection of these heavy metal ions by the Cr-CPE was also demonstrated in the analyses of wastewaters.

RESULTS: A total of 4651 patients were eligible for this study: 100 (2.1%) were patients with PGC and 4551 (97.9%) were patients with NSCLC who had not previously been treated for gastric cancer (NGC). The populations of older patients (P < 0.001), males (P < 0.001), limited resection for NSCLC (P = 0.015) and non-adenocarcinoma (P = 0.024) were significantly higher in the PGC, than in the NGC group. Overall survival did not significantly differ between the PGC and NGC groups (76.4 vs 74.5% P = 0.82). Multivariate analysis revealed that more advanced age, male sex, higher serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels, more advanced clinical stage of lung cancer and nonadenocarcinoma were independent factors for a poor prognosis, whereas a history of gastric cancer was not. None of the factors associated with gastric cancer affected the survival of patients with PGC. CONCLUSIONS: After surgical treatment for lung cancer, a history of gastric cancer treatment had low impact on survival and no factors related to gastric cancer influence the outcomes.

Surgical outcomes of non-small-cell lung carcinoma in patients previously treated for gastric cancer. OBJECTIVES: Although the incidence of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as a second malignancy is increasing, the prognosis remains controversial. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the prognosis of patients with NSCLC who had previously been treated for gastric cancer (PGC). METHODS: The clinicopathological records of patients who underwent complete surgical resection for NSCLC in three institutions from 2000 to 2013 were retrospectively investigated.

CONCLUSIONS: After surgical treatment for lung cancer, a history of gastric cancer treatment had low impact on survival and no factors related to gastric cancer influence the outcomes. Curative surgery for NSCLC should be recommended when previously treated gastric cancer is well controlled.

Over the past decades, a lot of work was done in an attempt to reduce the negative impact of LBP, and help patients recover and maintain a better quality of life. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to be done to fully understand the problem of underlying chronic LBP and a wide gap that exist between basic science and applied rehabilitation research on LBP. Objectives: This was an open label, multicentric, observational, post-marketing surveillance study in a real-world setup designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MyrliMax capsules containing standardised Commiphora myrrha gum resin extract in Indian subjects with chronic LBP varying in intensity. Materials and methods:This study included 204 subjects diagnosed with chronic LBP at the outpatient department of 20 centres under the supervision of a medical doctor. All subjects took MyrliMax capsules twice daily for 20 days. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score, rescue medicine requirement, therapy satisfaction scores and safety parameters were assessed as per the schedule. Outcomes:Treatment with MyrliMax capsules significantly (p<0.01) and progressively reduced the VAS score throughout treatment. A significant pain reduction was observed from the second visit. The mean VAS score was 6.58, 4.66, 2.99 and 1.88 on Day 0, Day 7, Day 14 and Day 20, respectively. A similar trend was also observed in subgroups based on gender and severity score. The need of rescue analgesics/NSAIDs was significantly reduced from the second week, indicating a potential of MyrliMax capsules to increase the pain threshold. All physicians and patients were satisfied with the efficacy of MyrliMax capsules assessed by physician's satisfaction score and patient's satisfaction score. There were no significant serious adverse events due to treatment during the study, which indicated that the treatment with MyrliMax was well tolerated by subjects.

MyrliMax and Low Back Pain: A Multicentric, Observational, Post-Marketing Surveillance Study in Indian Patients Suffering from Chronic Low Back Pain of Various Pain Intensity. Background: Chronic low back pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal condition affecting a person's quality of life. Over the past decades, a lot of work was done in an attempt to reduce the negative impact of LBP, and help patients recover and maintain a better quality of life. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to be done to fully understand the problem of underlying chronic LBP and a wide gap that exist between basic science and applied rehabilitation research on LBP. Objectives: This was an open label, multicentric, observational, post-marketing surveillance study in a real-world setup designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MyrliMax capsules containing standardised Commiphora myrrha gum resin extract in Indian subjects with chronic LBP varying in intensity. Materials and methods:This study included 204 subjects diagnosed with chronic LBP at the outpatient department of 20 centres under the supervision of a medical doctor. All subjects took MyrliMax capsules twice daily for 20 days. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score, rescue medicine requirement, therapy satisfaction scores and safety parameters were assessed as per the schedule. Outcomes:Treatment with MyrliMax capsules significantly (p<0.01) and progressively reduced the VAS score throughout treatment. A significant pain reduction was observed from the second visit. The mean VAS score was 6.58, 4.66, 2.99 and 1.88 on Day 0, Day 7, Day 14 and Day 20, respectively. A similar trend was also observed in subgroups based on gender and severity score. The need of rescue analgesics/NSAIDs was significantly reduced from the second week, indicating a potential of MyrliMax capsules to increase the pain threshold. All physicians and patients were satisfied with the efficacy of MyrliMax capsules assessed by physician's satisfaction score and patient's satisfaction score. There were no significant serious adverse events due to treatment during the study, which indicated that the treatment with MyrliMax was well tolerated by subjects. Conclusion:MyrliMax capsule is a potentially effective and safe therapy for pain reduction in patients suffering from chronic LBP. MyrliMax capsules can be used to reduce pain in NSAIDs intolerant subjects suffering from chronic LBP.

It is often the only option to achieve hemodynamic stability. Use of temporary MCS is increasing in frequency in children with evolution of new technologies. Recently, catheter deployed micro-axial percutaneous ventricular assist device (PC-VAD) has been approved for management of cardiogenic shock in adults. We present our experience and long-term outcomes associated with use of this device in a pediatric cardiac intensive care unit at a freestanding children's hospital. METHODS: All patients treated for cardiogenic shock with PC-VAD alone between September 2014 and June 2019 were included in retrospective analysis. The device sizes used included CP device which provides up to 4.0 l/min of flow and 5.0 device which provides 5.0 l/min of flow. Demographic and support data were reviewed and reported using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: A total of 24 PC-VAD devices were implanted in 18 patients: CP (n=17), and 5.0 (n=7). Median patient age was 17 years (IQR 15,20), weight of 61 kg (IQR 54,75), and BSA of 1.72 m2(IQR 1.58,1.96). Median length of CP support was 5 days (IQR 4,7) and 5.0 was 12 days (IQR 11,22). The most common device related complications included site bleeding 9/24 (38%), ventricular arrhythmias 3/24 (17%) and extremity arterial thrombus 1/24 (4%), with no limb ischemia encountered. Acute renal failure requiring CRRT occurred in 5/18 (38%) patients. None of the patients sustained neurologic injury. Median ICU length of stay was 24 days (IQR 15,45) with median hospital length of stay of 35 days (26,80). The survival to ICU discharge was 89% (16/18) and survival to hospital discharge was 89% (16/18). Twelve out of eighteen (67%) patients were alive at one year. CONCLUSION: Temporary MCS for cardiogenic shock with PC-VAD shows favorable short and long-term outcomes in select pediatric patients. This type of circulatory support can be considered for management of older children with acute cardiogenic shock to achieve quicker hemodynamic stability, end-organ recovery and as a temporary bridge to recovery or clinical decision making.

We investigated the feasibility and preliminary effects of an intervention to improve uptake of Ireland's national DRS programme, Diabetic RetinaScreen, among patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. DESIGN/SETTING: We conducted a cluster randomised pilot trial, embedded process evaluation and cost analysis in general practice, July 2019 to January 2020. PARTICIPANTS: Eight practices participated in the trial. For the process evaluation, surveys were conducted with 25 staff at intervention practices. Interviews were conducted with nine staff at intervention practices, and 10 patients who received the intervention. INTERVENTIONS: The intervention comprised practice reimbursement, an audit of attendance, electronic prompts targeting professionals, General Practice-endorsed patient reminders and a patient information leaflet. Practices were randomly allocated to intervention (n=4) or wait-list control (n=4) (usual care). OUTCOMES: Staff and patient interviews explored their perspectives on the intervention. Patient registration and attendance, including intention to attend, were measured at baseline and 6 months. Microcosting was used to estimate intervention delivery cost. RESULTS: The process evaluation identified that enablers of feasibility included practice culture and capacity to protect time, systems to organise care, and staff skills, and workarounds to improve intervention 'fit'. At 6 months, 22/71 (31%) of baseline non-attenders in intervention practices subsequently attended screening compared with 15/87 (17%) in control practices. The total delivery cost across intervention practices (patients=363) was $2509, averaging $627 per practice and $6.91 per audited patient. Continuation criteria supported proceeding to a definitive trial. CONCLUSIONS: The Improving Diabetes Eye screening Attendance intervention is feasible in primary care; however, consideration should be given to how best to facilitate local tailoring. A definitive trial of clinical and cost-effectiveness is required with preliminary results suggesting a positive effect on uptake.

Practices were randomly allocated to intervention (n=4) or wait-list control (n=4) (usual care). OUTCOMES: Staff and patient interviews explored their perspectives on the intervention. Patient registration and attendance, including intention to attend, were measured at baseline and 6 months. Microcosting was used to estimate intervention delivery cost. RESULTS: The process evaluation identified that enablers of feasibility included practice culture and capacity to protect time, systems to organise care, and staff skills, and workarounds to improve intervention 'fit'. At 6 months, 22/71 (31%) of baseline non-attenders in intervention practices subsequently attended screening compared with 15/87 (17%) in control practices. The total delivery cost across intervention practices (patients=363) was $2509, averaging $627 per practice and $6.91 per audited patient. Continuation criteria supported proceeding to a definitive trial. CONCLUSIONS: The Improving Diabetes Eye screening Attendance intervention is feasible in primary care; however, consideration should be given to how best to facilitate local tailoring. A definitive trial of clinical and cost-effectiveness is required with preliminary results suggesting a positive effect on uptake. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03901898.

METHODS: From June 2009 to June 2011, 52 patients with chronic calcaneal osteomyelitis were treated with stage-one compound grafting of antibiotic-impregnated calcium sulfate and autogenous cancellous bone,including 12 females and 40 males with an average age of 43 years old ranging from 18 to 67. According to Cierny-Mader classification, there were 34 cases with stage III and 18 with stage IV. There were 32 cases on right side and 20 on left,with a course of 6 months to 3 years. The area of soft tissue wound ranged from 3.0 cm x l.5 cm to 23.0 cm x l2.0 cm. The clinical effects were evaluated according to infection controlling, calcium sulfate absorption,bone defect repair and heel functional recovery. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 2 to 3.8 years (averaged 2.8 years). Primary healing was achieved in 52 patients. Two cases of recurrence were found post-operatively, 1 case in 3 months and another in 5 months,which were cured after a second operation. Bone repair healing was gained in 1.5 to 3.5 months (averaged 2.5 months). Complete radiological absorption of calcium sulfate was found in 1.2 to 3 months(averaged 2.2 months).

Clinical relevance of antikeratin antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis and symmetric polyarthritis associated with hepatitis C infection. Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been linked to extrahepatic autoimmune phenomena. In addition a variety of autoantibodies were found in patients with HCV. This study was performed to assesss the clinical relevance of antikeratin antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in patients with symmetric polyarthritis associated with hepatitis C infection. Serum antikeratin antibodies were evaluated in 3 different groups of patients; all were rheumatoid factor (RF) seropositive: Group 1: 31 patients with HCV associated symmetric polyarthralgia or arthritis. Group 2: 28 patients with RA (modified ACR criteria for probable RA). Group 3: 16 patients with autoimmune disorders other than RA. Seventeen healthy individuals matched for age and sex served as controls. In our study, 75 patients who were rheumatoid factor positive (measured by ELISA, the cutoff was established to 20 U/mL) were tested for antikeratin antibodies using an indirect immunofluorescence technique with 1:10 serum dilution. Antikeratin antibodies were detected in 18/28 (64%) patients with true RA and only 3/31 (9%) patients with HCV-related arthritis (p < 0.0001). Antikeratin antibodies were observed in 3/16 (18%) patients of group 3 (p < 0.05). Antikeratin antibodies were not found in the sera of the healthy controls.

Reciprocal allostery arising from a bienzyme assembly controls aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in Prevotella nigrescens. Modular protein assembly has been widely reported as a mechanism for constructing allosteric machinery.

These enzymes catalyze the first and branch point reactions of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in the bacterium Prevotella nigrescens (PniDAH7PS), respectively.

These increased forepaw responses were independent of the global changes in cortical state induced by the spinal cord transection described in our previous work (Aguilar et al., J Neurosci 2010), as the responses increased both when the cortex was in a silent state (down-state) or in an active state (up-state). The increased responses in the intact forepaw cortex correlated with increased responses in the deafferented hindpaw cortex, suggesting that they could represent different points of view of the same immediate state-independent functional reorganization of the primary somatosensory cortex after spinal cord injury. Collectively, the results of the present study and of our previous study suggest that both state-dependent and state-independent mechanisms can jointly contribute to cortical reorganization immediately after spinal cord injury.
