RESUMEN

Inflammatory arthritis leads to peripheral nerve sensitization, but the therapeutic effect is often unsatisfactory. Our preliminary studies have found that in mice with inflammatory arthritis, the use of ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists can produce a good analgesic effect without altering foot swelling, suggesting that pain relief may be related to the improvement of neuropathic pain. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To further investigate the effects of neuropathic pain medications on inflammatory arthritis and the impact of the ionotropic glutamate receptor NR2B subunit (NR2B) on inflammatory arthritis, this study employed gabapentin (GBP) treatment on the inflammatory arthritis mouse model (the adjuvant induced arthritis, AIA), and we found a significant reduction in pain. Further studies revealed that in AIA, the expression levels of NR2B, TRPV1, pain-related molecules (substance P, PGE2), inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and GM-CSF) and Ca2+ were elevated in the foot and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). GBP treatment was able to influence the downregulation of the expression levels of NR2B, TRPV1, pain-related molecules, inflammatory cytokines and Ca2+. Mechanistic studies have shown that GBP treatment affects the downregulation of NR2B, and the downregulation of NR2B expression leads to the downregulation of TRPV1, pain-related molecules and inflammatory cytokines, thereby alleviating pain. These results suggest that in peripheral sensitization caused by AIA, GBP can play a role in improving pain, and NR2B may be a key target of peripheral nerve sensitization induced by inflammatory arthritis. GBP provides a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of inflammatory arthritis.

RESUMEN

Background: The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) among patients with amyloidosis on in-hospital outcomes is not well-established. We aimed to examine in-hospital outcomes among patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of AF with and without amyloidosis. Methods and Results: We queried the Nationwide Readmissions Database to compare the in-hospital outcomes among AF patients with and without amyloidosis. Our study demonstrated that in-hospital all-cause mortality, adverse events, and 30-day readmission were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions: Patients with AF and concurrent amyloidosis did not have worse in-hospital outcomes than those with AF alone.

RESUMEN

Red Melon (RM) and Red Cover (RC) discus (Symphysodon spp.) are ornamental fish varieties that were selectively bred from the wild parental lineages of the brown discus S. aquafaciatus over many generations, resulting in distinct cutaneous patterns from juveniles to adults. To better understand the underlying mechanisms, skin samples were collected from juveniles aged 60 days and adults aged 1 year from RM and RC for investigations. Microscopic observation detected xanthophores and erythrophores in all samples, except RC juveniles with no erythrophores. Melanophores were presented only in RC. The comparative analysis revealed that genes involved in pteridine synthesis (gch1 and zgc:153031), one-carbon metabolism (aldh1l2 and zgc153031), and lipid metabolism (apoda and klf1) were differentially expressed in RM juveniles, which may be associated with the development of erythrophores and xanthophores. The temporal inhibition of melanophore differentiation and development was observed in RM juveniles, coupled with elevated expression of notum2 and sost, two antagonist genes in Wnt-signaling, suggesting their roles in melanophore development. Distinct pigment pattern between RM and RC since the juvenile stage may be driven by the differential expression of multiple axial developmental genes, including GATA, ankyrin, and mitotic spindle orientation proteins. This is the first report to describe the differential growth of cutaneous pigments and the molecular processes involved in red discus. The results provided valuable insights into pigment pattern differences in an interesting ornamental fish model.

RESUMEN

Background: While patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) occasionally present with concurrent ventricular arrhythmias (VA), the impact of VA on in-hospital outcomes in the United States (US) is not well-established. This study aims to analyze in-hospital outcomes of patients with SCAD and concurrent VA and to determine the factors associated with VA occurrence in this high-risk population in the US. Methods: Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database, our study included patients age 18 years or older who had SCAD between 2017 and 2020. We categorized the cohort into 2 groups depending on the presence of VA during hospitalization. In-hospital outcomes were assessed between SCAD patients with VA and those without. Weighted analysis was performed. We analyzed the independent factors associated with VA occurring among SCAD patients through univariable and multivariable analyses. Results: Eight hundred seventy-seven SCAD patients were included in the study: 118 (13.5%) with VA and 759 (86.6%) without. SCAD patients with concurrent VA were associated with higher rates of early mortality (10.2% vs 2.0%; P < .01), prolonged index hospital stay (≥7 days) (33.1% vs 11.7%; P < .01), and non-home discharge (21.2% vs 5.9%; P < .01). The length of hospital stay was longer in the SCAD with concurrent VA group (7.39 days vs 3.58 days; P < .01), and the median cumulative cost of hospitalization was also higher in this group ($31,451 vs $13,802; P < .01). SCAD patients with concurrent VA had increased in-hospital adverse events: acute heart failure, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, cerebral infarction, pulmonary edema, and acute kidney injury. In multivariable analysis, the independent factors associated with VA occurrence among SCAD patients were chronic liver disease (aOR, 3.42; 95% CI, 1.43-8.20; P < .01) and heart failure (aOR, 5.63; 95% CI, 3.36-9.42; P < .01). Conclusions: Concurrence of VA among SCAD patients was associated with poorer in-hospital outcomes. Heart failure and chronic liver disease were the independent factors associated with VA occurrence in SCAD patients.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Radiology plays an integral role in fracture detection in the emergency department (ED). After hours, when there are fewer reporting radiologists, most radiographs are interpreted by ED physicians. A minority of these interpretations may miss diagnoses, which later require the callback of patients for further management. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been viewed as a potential solution to augment the shortage of radiologists after hours. We explored the efficacy of an AI solution in the detection of appendicular and pelvic fractures for adult radiographs performed after hours at a general hospital ED in Singapore, and estimated the potential monetary and non-monetary benefits. METHODS: One hundred and fifty anonymised abnormal radiographs were retrospectively collected and fed through an AI fracture detection solution. The radiographs were re-read by two radiologist reviewers and their consensus was established as the reference standard. Cases were stratified based on the concordance between the AI solution and the reviewers' findings. Discordant cases were further analysed based on the nature of the discrepancy into overcall and undercall subgroups. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity and inter-rater reliability of the AI solution. RESULTS: Ninety-two examinations were included in the final study radiograph set. The AI solution had a sensitivity of 98.9%, an accuracy of 85.9% and an almost perfect agreement with the reference standard. CONCLUSION: An AI fracture detection solution has similar sensitivity to human radiologists in the detection of fractures on ED appendicular and pelvic radiographs. Its implementation offers significant potential measurable cost, manpower and time savings.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Analyze current evidence on racial/ethnic disparities in cardiovascular outcomes among cancer survivors, identifying factors and proposing measures to address health inequities. RECENT FINDINGS: Existing literature indicates that the Black population experiences worse cardiovascular outcomes following the diagnosis of both initial primary cancer and second primary cancer, with a notably higher prevalence of cardio-toxic events, particularly among breast cancer survivors. Contributing socioeconomic factors to these disparities include unfavorable social determinants of health, inadequate insurance coverage, and structural racism within the healthcare system. Additionally, proinflammatory epigenetic modification is hypothesized to be a contributing genetic variation factor. Addressing these disparities requires a multiperspective approach, encompassing efforts to address racial disparities and social determinants of health within the healthcare system, refine healthcare policies and access, and integrate historically stigmatized racial groups into clinical research. Racial and ethnic disparities persist in cardiovascular outcomes among cancer survivors, driven by multifactorial causes, predominantly associated with social determinants of health. Addressing these healthcare inequities is imperative, and timely efforts must be implemented to narrow the existing gap effectively.

RESUMEN

Knowledge of the impact of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation on in-hospital outcomes and 30-day readmission remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the procedural outcomes and 30-day readmission rates among patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF who were hospitalized for AF ablation. Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database, our study included patients aged ≥18 years with AF who were hospitalized and underwent catheter ablation during 2017-2020. Then, we compared the in-hospital procedural outcomes and 30-day readmission rates between patients with paroxysmal and persistent AF, respectively. Our study included 7310 index admissions for paroxysmal AF ablation and 9179 index admissions for persistent AF ablation. According to our analysis, there was no significant difference in procedural complications-namely, cerebrovascular accident, vascular complications, major bleeding requiring blood transfusion, phrenic nerve palsy, pericardial complications, and systemic embolization-between the persistent and paroxysmal AF groups. There was also no significant difference in early mortality between these groups (0.5% vs. 0.7%; P = .22). Persistent AF patients had significantly higher rates of prolonged index hospitalization (9.9% vs. 7.2%; P < .01) and non-home discharge (4.8% vs. 3.1%; P < .01). The 30-day readmission rates were comparable in both groups (10.0% vs. 9.5%; P = .34), with recurrent AF and heart failure being two of the most common causes of cardiac-related readmissions. Catheter ablation among hospitalized patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF resulted in no significant difference in procedural complications, early mortality, or 30-day readmission. This suggests that catheter ablation of AF can be performed with a relatively similar safety profile for both paroxysmal and persistent AF.

RESUMEN

Green travel is a special type of pro-environmental behavior, which requires people to pay a time cost to reduce carbon emissions. This study explored the impact of the cost of travel time and feedback types on green travel. To verify the change of travel choice under different time costs, experiment 1 explored the impact of different costs of travel time on green travel. The results showed that with the increase in time cost, green travel behavior gradually decreased. This suggests that time costs can hinder green travel behavior. To intervene in this negative effect, experiment 2 explored the effects of different types of feedback intervention. The results showed that both environmental and health feedback could only intervene with green travel behavior when the time costs were low. This indicates that health and environmental feedback can intervene in the negative effects of travel time cost, but the cost range of the intervention is limited. This study has implications for promoting green travel behavior.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Androgen receptor splice variant 7 (ARV-7) is a resistance mechanism to hormonal therapy in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It has been associated with poor outcomes. On progression to castrate resistance, ARV-7 positivity has been identified in global populations at an incidence of 17.8%-28.8%. Here, we characterize the incidence of ARV-7 positivity in Asian patients with mCRPC in a prospective fashion and evaluate its implications on treatment outcomes. METHODS: Patients with mCRPC from multiple centers in Southeast and East Asia were enrolled in a prospective manner before initiation of androgen receptor signaling inhibitors or docetaxel. ARV-7 status was evaluated at baseline with three commercially available assays: AdnaTest Prostate Cancer platform, Clearbridge method, and IBN method. Clinical outcomes at progression were assessed. The primary end point of this study was prevalence of ARV-7 positivity; secondary end points were incidence of ARV-7 positivity, prostate specific antigen (PSA) response rate, PSA progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: A total of 102 patients with a median age of 72 years at enrollment participated. Overall, an incidence of ARV-7 positivity of between 14.3% and 33.7% in Asian patients with mCRPC was demonstrated depending on the assay used. Patients found to have ARV-7 positivity at enrollment had a numerically worse PSA PFS compared with ARV-7 negative patients. CONCLUSION: In this study, the incidence of ARV-7 positivity in Asian patients with mCRPC was shown to be similar to the global population. Patients with ARV-7 positivity appear to have more aggressive disease with numerically worse PSA PFS and OS. Further prospective studies are needed to fully characterize the relationship that ARV-7 positivity has on prognosis of Asian patients with mCRPC.

RESUMEN

Enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) is a glyco-chemically modified flavonoid exhibiting notably high biological activity, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. However, the utilization of expensive substrates such as isoquercitrin and cyclodextrin in the conventional approach has hindered the industrial-scale production of EMIQ due to high cost and low yields. Hence, the development of a cost-effective and efficient method is crucial for the biological synthesis of EMIQ. In this study, a natural cascade catalytic reaction system was constructed with α-L-rhamnosidase and amylosucrase using the inexpensive substrates rutin and sucrose. Additionally, a novel approach integrating gradient temperature regulation into biological cascade reactions was implemented. Under the optimal conditions, the rutin conversion reached a remarkable 95.39% at 24 h. Meanwhile, the productivity of quercetin-3-O-tetraglucoside with the best bioavailability reached an impressive 41.69%. This study presents promising prospects for future mass production of EMIQ directly prepared from rutin and sucrose.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have higher disease severity and mortality compared to those without COPD. However, deep investigation into microbiome distribution of lower respiratory tract of CAP with or without COPD was unknown. METHODS: So we used metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) to explore the microbiome differences between the two groups. RESULTS: Thirty-six CAP without COPD and 11 CAP with COPD cases were retrieved. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected and analyzed using untargeted mNGS and bioinformatic analysis. mNGS revealed that CAP with COPD group was abundant with Streptococcus, Prevotella, Bordetella at genus level and Cutibacterium acnes, Rothia mucilaginosa, Bordetella genomosp. 6 at species level. While CAP without COPD group was abundant with Ralstonia, Prevotella, Streptococcus at genus level and Ralstonia pickettii, Rothia mucilaginosa, Prevotella melaninogenica at species level. Meanwhile, both alpha and beta microbiome diversity was similar between groups. Linear discriminant analysis found that pa-raburkholderia, corynebacterium tuberculostearicum and staphylococcus hominis were more enriched in CAP without COPD group while the abundance of streptococcus intermedius, streptococcus constellatus, streptococcus milleri, fusarium was higher in CAP with COPD group. CONCLUSIONS: These findings revealed that concomitant COPD have an mild impact on lower airway microbiome of CAP patients.

RESUMEN

AIM: To explore the experience of second victim symptoms and adverse outcomes among nurses working in public healthcare institutions; understand the preferred components of a structured support programme; and explore the barriers to accessing existing support strategies. BACKGROUND: The second victim phenomenon is experienced by nurses during patient-related adverse events, requiring further exploration. METHODS: A mixed-methods design. Second Victim Experience and Support Tool and semi-structured individual interviews were used among nurses involved in adverse events that occurred from January 2022 to April 2023. Descriptive statistics was used to describe sociodemographic characteristics and survey responses. Thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. RESULTS: Nurses (n = 12) experienced second victim-related physical, psychological and professional distress (58.3% to 83.3%) within one month after the event. Nurses continued to experience second victim-related distress (58.3%) three months after and turnover intentions (58.4%). Having a respected peer to discuss what happened was the most desired component of a support programme (75.0%). Five qualitative themes: (i) whirlwind of immediate emotions, (ii) lasting impact of adverse events, (iii) organisational barriers, (iv) coping resources at organisational level and (v) positive individual coping strategies. DISCUSSION: Nurses experienced immediate and profound distress, highlighting the pervasive and distressing nature of the second victim phenomenon. CONCLUSION: It is critical to recognise the second victim phenomenon and improve organisational climate to provide adequate support to affected nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY: Organisations can establish a structured second victim support system, allowing nurses to seek emotional aid during the occurrence of adverse events. Establishing national policies as guidelines for organisations to refer to, raise awareness of the second victim phenomenon, and provide a standardised approach for identification and intervention for affected nurses.

RESUMEN

The existing fixed gait lower limb rehabilitation robots perform a predetermined walking trajectory for patients, ignoring their residual muscle strength. To enhance patient participation and safety in training, this paper aims to develop a lower limb rehabilitation robot with adaptive gait training capability relying on human-robot interaction force measurement. Firstly, a novel lower limb rehabilitation robot system with several active and passive driven joints is developed, and 2 face-to-face mounted cantilever beam force sensors are employed to measure the human-robot interaction forces. Secondly, a dynamic model of the rehabilitation training robot is constructed to estimate the driven forces of the human lower leg in a completely passive state. Thereafter, based on the theoretical moment from the dynamics and the actual joint interaction force collected by the sensors, an adaptive gait adjustment method is proposed to achieve the goal of adapting to the wearer's movement intention. Finally, interactive experiments are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the developed rehabilitation training robot system. The proposed rehabilitation training robot system with adaptive gaits offers great potential for future high-quality rehabilitation training, e.g., improving participation and safety.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Microstegium vimineum (Trin.) A. Camus, commonly called stiltgrass, is a dominant weed in the United States and China. Although a lot of control approaches have been attempted, an economic, effective and practical measure has not been available to control the weed so far. RESULTS: A serious rust disease of Microstegium vimineum was observed in three regions of Wenzhou city in China, from 2019 to 2021, with a disease incidence ranging from 82% to 97%. Typical rust disease symptoms on Microstegium vimineum were prominently visible during the early monsoon season (June-July), with chlorotic spots on the leaf surfaces. The morphological characterization of the strain WZ-1 which was isolated from the diseased leaves was consistent with Puccinia polliniicola. The virulence tests showed that the average disease index of Microstegium vimineum plants could reach 35% at 10 days post-inoculation. The host specificity of Puccinia polliniicola was tested on 64 plant species from 12 families and it did not cause any diseased symptoms on 24 major crops and 36 weeds, but slightly infected four gramineous weeds, Arthraxon hispidus, Polypogon fugax, Cynodon dactylon, and Microstegium ciliatum. However, newly-produced urediniospores were not observed on the slightly infected plants. The urediniospores of strain WZ-1 infected the Microstegium vimineum leaves by two main approaches: mycelium or appressorium invaded the stoma; and mycelium or appressorium directly invaded intercellular spaces. Field experiments showed that the rust disease naturally prevailed among Microstegium vimineum populations, causing severe rust disease symptoms on the leaf surface. The rust epidemic effectively controlled all of the target plants in the closed plot where the rust was released. CONCLUSION: Puccinia polliniicola strain WZ-1 has great potential to be used as a classical biological control agent against Microstegium vimineum. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

RESUMEN

Dengue virus (DENV) nonstructural protein 5 (NS5), consisting of methyltransferase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domains, is critical for viral RNA synthesis within endoplasmic reticulum-derived replication complexes in the cytoplasm. However, a significant proportion of NS5 is localized to the nucleus of infected cells for DENV2, 3, and 4, whereas DENV1 NS5 is localized diffusely in the cytoplasm. We still have an incomplete understanding of how the DENV NS5 subcellular localization is regulated. Within NS5, two putative nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences have been identified: NLSCentral residing in the palm of the RdRp domain as well as the recently discovered NLSC-term residing in the flexible region at the C-terminal of the RdRp domain. We have previously shown that DENV2 NS5 nuclear localization can be significantly reduced by single-point mutations to the NLSC-term. Here, we present biochemical, virological, and structural data demonstrating that the relative importance of either NLS in NS5 nuclear localization is unique to each of the four DENV serotypes. DENV1 NS5's cytoplasmic localization appears to be due to a functionally weak interaction between its NLSCentral and importin-α (IMPα), while DENV2 NS5 is almost exclusively nuclear through its NLSC-term's strong interaction with IMPα. Both NLSs of DENV3 NS5 appear to contribute to directing its nuclear localization. Lastly, in the case of DENV4, the regulation of its NS5 nuclear localization remains an enigma but appears to be associated with its NLSC-term.

RESUMEN

We proposed and verified a scheme of chaos synchronization for integrated five-section semiconductor lasers with matching parameters. The simulation results demonstrated that the integrated five-section semiconductor laser could generate a chaotic signal within a large parameter range of the driving currents of five sections. Subsequently, chaos synchronization between two integrated five-section semiconductor lasers with matched parameters was realized by using a common noise signal as a driver. Moreover, it was found that the synchronization was sensitive to the current mismatch in all five sections, indicating that the driving currents of the five sections could be used as keys of chaotic optical communication. Therefore, this synchronization scheme provides a candidate to increase the dimension of key space and enhances the security of the system.
