Clinical efficacy of pemetrexed disodium in maintenance treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma / 中国基层医药

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of pemetrexed disodium in the maintenance treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma after chemotherapy with pemetrexed disodium and platinum.Methods:The clinical data of 35 patients with stage Ⅳ lung adenocarcinoma who received chemotherapy with pemetrexed disodium and platinum and were well treated in Beijing Huairou Hospital from January 2013 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Maintenance therapy with pemetrexed disodium was initiated after the completion of combination chemotherapy until disease progression. The clinical characteristics, therapeutic effects, adverse reactions, progression-free survival, and overall survival of the 35 patients were evaluated.Results:Among the 35 patients, no patients had complete remission, 11 patients had partial remission, 22 patients had stable disease, and 2 patients had progressive disease. The objective remission rate was 31.4%, disease control rate was 94.3%, median progression-free survival was 9.53 months, median overall survival was 18.21 months, 1-year survival rate was 68.6%, 2-year survival rate was 31.4%, and 3-year survival rate was 11.4%. Gender, age, smoking, and the baseline characteristics of patients undergoing first-line pemetrexed disodium or second-line pemetrexed disodium treatment had no effects on progression-free survival (all P > 0.05). Positive gene mutation and receiving four or more chemotherapy cycles had a protective effect on progression-free survival (both P < 0.05). Chemotherapy-related adverse reactions mainly included myelosuppression, nausea, elevated transaminase, and nephrotoxicity, all of which were mild and were relieved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion:Pemetrexed disodium is effective and safe in the maintenance treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma. The results of this study are scientific.

Preparation and Performance of Three-Dimensional Silk FibroinScaffolds with Different Matrix Stiffness / 医用生物力学

Objective After hydrogen bonding between collagen ( COL) and silk fibroin ( SF ) at different concentrations, a composite scaffold with adjustable stiffness was prepared by combining with gel system, and its physical and chemical properties were characterized. Methods SF with different qualities was dissolved in sodium alginate (SA) solution, then COL solution at different concentration and calcium carbonate ( CaCO3 ) powder were added. The hydrogels of SC1, SC2, and SC3 groups were obtained by taking out the mixed solution and adding some gluconic acid lactone ( GDL) powder, and different SF scaffolds were obtained after freeze drying. Results The SF scaffolds with adjustable stiffness were successfully prepared. The compression moduli of SC1, SC2, and SC3 groups were (17. 31±2. 73), (24. 12±1. 81), (32. 54±1. 81) kPa, respectively. The innerstructure of the scaffolds was observed. From SC1 group to SC3 group, pores of the scaffolds were smaller and fewer, and hydrophilicity of the materials become better and better. Conclusions Three-dimensional ( 3D) porous scaffolds with different matrix stiffness can be prepared by changing the concentration of SF and COL solution. The concentration of SF and COL is proportional to the compression modulus, water absorption, water retention and swelling rate of SF scaffolds, while inversely proportional to porosity. The findings of this study are expected to provide theoretical guidance for construction of scaffolds with appropriate matrix stiffness for inducing osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells

ACUTE ENCEPHALITIS SYNDROME IN A TERTIARY CARE SETTING WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY IN ASSAM, INDIA

Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) is a major public health problem and Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is one of the most important causes of AES. Therefore, it is crucial to know the etiology of AES for patient management and decision making. The present study aimed to assess the morbidity and mortality profile of AES/JE patients admitted in tertiary care setting. An observational prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 140 hospitalized AES patients admitted in Pediatric and Medicine ward of Jorhat Medical College and Hospital (JMCH), Jorhat over a period from August, 2017 to July 2018. Blood serum and cerebrospinal fiuids (CSF) were tested for presence of JE specific IgM antibody by Mac ELISA during acute illness of AES. The data were compiled and analyzed using the IBM SPSS, V23.0. Of the total 140 AES cases, majority (60%) were below 15 years age (p-value 0.180). Significantly higher proportion of AES cases were from rural areas (94.3%) (p-value <0.0001). The male and female ratio was 1.3:1. The most common presenting symptoms in AES patients were fever (100%), change in mental status (100%), seizure (56.4%) and headache (42.9%). Signs of meningeal irritation were present in 69.3% of cases. Around 22.9% AES patients had GCS ? 8. A total 49 (35%) cases were found to be laboratory confirmed JE following detection of JE specific IgM antibody. Among the JE patients, only 4.1% were immunized with SA 14-14-2 vaccine and 14% died before discharge. The complete recoveries were observed in 78% of cases. JE is one of the major causes of AES which is highly prevalent in this part of India. The significant findings in the present study calls for policy decision to combat JE.

Regulating Function of Exogenous Salicylic Acid on Sugar Metabolism in Tomato Seedlings

Aims: SA (Salicylic acid) is a key regulator for sugar metabolic pathway, but the regulating function on sugar metabolism in tomato seedlings is imperfect. In this study, tomato seedlings were sprayed with SA, and then soluble sugar contents, enzyme related to sugar metabolism levels, gene expressions were determined. Study Design: In order to analyze the mechanism of SA in sugar metabolic pathway, tomato seedlings were sprayed with SA, and then soluble sugar contents, enzyme related to sugar metabolism levels, gene expressions were determined. Place and Duration of Study: College of Biological Science and Technology, between December 2021 and May 2022. Methodology: The expressions of genes related to sugar metabolism in tomato were measured by qRT-PCR. The contents of soluble sugar in tomato seedings were measured with HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography). Results: The sugar metabolism in tomato seedlings was affected by SA treatment for 6 h. The contents of fructose, glucose and sucrose were improved in tomato seedlings by SA treatment. Between 6 to 24 h, enzymatic activities of SlAI, SlNI and SlSS were higher than those in controls, while there was little change in enzyme activity of SISPS. Conclusion: The contents of soluble sugar, enzyme activities related to sugar metabolism had changed considerably by SA treatment. Especially from 6 h to 24 h after SA treatment, the contents of fructose and glucose were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the changes of sugar contents were mainly related to the increases of enzyme activities of AI, NI and SS, suggesting that SA treatment mainly affected the activities of SlAI, SlNI and SlSS to promote the accumulations of soluble sugars.

Structure-based discovery of orally efficient inhibitors via unique interactions with H-pocket of PDE8 for the treatment of vascular dementia

Our previous study demonstrated that phosphodiesterase 8 (PDE8) could work as a potential target for vascular dementia (VaD) using a chemical probe 3a. However, compound 3a is a chiral compound which was obtained by chiral resolution on HPLC, restricting its usage in clinic. Herein, a series of non-chiral 9-benzyl-2-chloro-adenine derivatives were discovered as novel PDE8 inhibitors. Lead 15 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against PDE8A (IC50 = 11 nmol/L), high selectivity over other PDEs, and remarkable drug-like properties (worthy to mention is that its bioavailability was up to 100%). Oral administration of 15 significantly improved the cAMP level of the right brain and exhibited dose-dependent effects on cognitive improvement in a VaD mouse model. Notably, the X-ray crystal structure of the PDE8A-15 complex showed that the potent affinity and high selectivity of 15 might come from the distinctive interactions with H-pocket including T-shaped π-π interactions with Phe785 as well as a unique H-bond network, which have never been observed in other PDE-inhibitor complex before, providing new strategies for the further rational design of novel selective inhibitors against PDE8.

Covid-19 and mental health: A study of social representations with university students / Covid-19 y salud mental: un estudio de representaciones sociales con estudiantes universitários / Covid-19 e saúde mental: um estudo de representações sociais com universitários

The objective was to apprehend the Social Representations (SR) of university students from a private Institution about Covid-19 and mental health. There were 294 participants, between 18 to 59 years old (M = 27.43; SD = 6.05). These participants submitted to a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Free Word Association Technique (stimuli: coronavirus and health mental), applied online. Process the data using the TRIDEUX-MOTS software through the Factor Analysis of Correspondence. The results pointed to consensualities between the "coronavirus" and "mental health" stimuli anchored in the psycho-emotional sphere, aimed at anxiety, fear, anguish, and sadness. These stimuli also share other nuclei of a meaning of SR, anchored in protective elements of mental health, faith, health, care, and family. Thus, understanding how SR from different groups in the face of this new phenomenon can help preventive actions to face the disease and preserve mental health.

This paper presents the results of a qualitative research of phenomenological nature that aimed to understand the experience of people who attend a Coexistence Community Center (CECO). Individual dialogical encounters were held with seven adult users of both sexes. After each meeting, the researcher wrote a Comprehensive Narrative, based on his own impressions, about the participant's experience. A Narrative Synthesis was then constructed containing the significant elements of the experience of all participants in relation to the experiences in the CECO. The phenomenologically revealed elements, that constituted the results of the research, can be expressed as follows: (1) interpersonal relations, mediated by professionals in the context of the CECO, are guided by respect, understanding and mutual interest; (2) from the daily coexistence with other people and from participation in collective activities, users can creatively develop their skills and interests; and (3) when they feel welcomed and respected as people, users also develop a positive affective relationship with the service. In conclusion, CECO is a space conducive to the development of individual and collective potentialities and to the valorization of constructive social relations that facilitate and preserve the inherent tendency of people for growth, autonomy and psychological maturation.

Facile synthesis of insulin fusion derivatives through sortase A ligation

Insulin derivatives such as insulin detemir and insulin degludec are U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved long-acting insulin currently used by millions of people with diabetes. These derivatives are modified in C-terminal B29 lysine to retain insulin bioactivity. New and efficient methods for facile synthesis of insulin derivatives may lead to new discovery of therapeutic insulin. Herein, we report a new method using sortase A (SrtA)-mediated ligation for the synthesis of insulin derivatives with high efficiency and functional group tolerance in the C-terminal B chain. This new insulin molecule (Ins-SA) with an SrtA-recognizing motif can be conjugated to diverse groups with N-terminal oligoglycines to generate new insulin derivatives. We further demonstrated that a new insulin derivative synthesized by this SrtA-mediated ligation shows strong cellular and

METHODS: Using established corresponding mathematical models and the least square method, the WCID-cIEF spectrograms of whole protein, de-salicylic-acid protein and de-N-glycosylation-chain protein were analyzed. Among the mathematical models, the interval-1-peak model was selected. And according to the model, the relationship between isoform peak-areas and isoelectric points was listed. RESULTS: The rationality of the interval-1-peak model was confirmed and a series of basic data was obtained according to the model as follows:the apparent m value of the protein was 25.53 reference(R), the apparent n value of the protein was 28.83R, the apparent m value of sialic acid was 0.86 (0.855) R, the apparent n value was 0.12 (0.119) R, the apparent n value of N-acetylglucosamine (undifferentiated from N-acetylgalactosamine) was 0.06(0.061) R, and the apparent m value of formed carboxyl after N-chain removal was 0.19 (0.186) R. Some information of protein sugar composition was also obtained: the sialylation degree was about 1.83 mol•mol-1, the percentage of prototype protein was about 8.3%, the percentage of single N-glycosated modification protein was about 19.8%, the percentage of double N-glycosated modification protein was about 28.4%, the percentage of triple N-glycosated modification protein was about 23.7%, and the percentage of O-glycosated modification (with sialic acid) protein was about 19.8%. The main sugar types should be G0 (F), G1 (F), G2 (F), G1A1 (F), and G2A1 (F). CONCLUSION: The structure of sugar chain is complex, but it also has some repeatability and regularity. We hope that through this study, the glycoprotein sugar chain can be quickly outlined, the understanding of glycoprotein and the study of protein interaction can be improved.

Características clínicas y OCT-SA de pacientes con síndrome de tracción iridiana asociado a desprendimiento de retina regmatógeno. Reporte de tres casos / Clinical features and AS-OCT of patients with iris retraction syndrome following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Report of three cases

Introducción: se presenta una serie de 3 casos de síndrome de retracción iridiana (SRI) asociados a desprendimiento de retina regmatógeno (DRR) y desprendimiento coroideo. Objetivo: dar a conocer las características clínicas y tomográficas de tres pacientes con SRI asociado a desprendimiento de retina regmatógeno. Diseño del estudio: serie de casos. Resumen del caso: tres pacientes que presentaron DRR asociado a SRI. El tiempo de evolución promedio fue de 21 días (15-30 días), 2 de los 3 pacientes tuvieron resolución del SRI posterior al inicio de midriáticos y antes de ser intervenidos por el desprendimiento de retina, y 2 tuvieron presencia de proliferación vitreoretiniana (PVR) a pesar del corto tiempo de evolución. Adicionalmente estos 2 pacientes cursaron con desprendimientos coroideos. Todos los pacientes tuvieron un buen resultado estructural, AV menor o igual a 20/400, no redesprendimientos ni recurrencias de SRI durante el seguimiento. Conclusión: ante un paciente con SRI en el cual no sea posible valorar polo posterior, se debe tener en cuenta el diagnóstico de desprendimiento de retina regmatógeno. El SRI puede considerarse como un factor de mal pronóstico en pacientes con desprendimiento de retina regmatógeno.

Background: to report a 3 cases series of patients with iris retraction syndrome (IRS). Objective: introduce the clinical and tomographic features of tree patients with IRS following RRD. Study design: case series. Case summary: three patients presented IRS following RRD. They presented with an average evolution of 21 days (15 to 30 days), 2 patients had resolution of the IRS after mydriatics and before receiving surgical treatment for retinal detacthment, and 2 had vitreoretinal proliferation despite the short time. Besides, these 2 patients had choroidal detachments discovered in the operating room. All patients had good structural outcomes, visual acuity less or equal than 20/400, no re-detachment of the retina and no recurrence of IRS during follow up. Conclusion: the presence of a retinal detachment should be suspected in a patient with IRS in which it´s not possible to assess the posterior pole, and it should be considered a bad prognostic factor if present.

Se encontró mayor frecuencia de edad avanzada, hipertensión arterial, sedentarismo, obesidad abdominal en mujeres y de tabaquismo en hombres. Conclusiones: El factor de riesgo cardiovascular más frecuente fue la obesidad según índice cintura-cadera y el menos frecuente fue el tener antecedente familiar de SICA.

Objective: To determine the frequency of risk factors for cardiovascular disease among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in two hospitals in Chiclayo. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried-out among 100 admitted patients with ACS, a survey was applied to gather information on risk factors for cardiovascular disease. To evaluate symptoms associated with sleep-apnea we applied two scales, the Peruvian version of the Epworth somnolence scale and the snoring-somnolence scale. Results: the most frequent risk factors were abdominal obesity 87/88 (98.86%), age above 55 years in males and 65 years in females: 78/100 (78%), blood hypertension: 71/100 (71%), dyslipidemia: 54/97 (55.67%) and sedentarism: 49/97 (50.51%). Advanced age, blood hypertension, sedentarism and abdominal obesity were more common in females, while smoking was more common in males. Conclusions: The most frequent risk factor was abdominal obesity and the less frequent was family history of ACS.

Utilidad del índice triglicéridos/HDL-C desde los primeros años de vida en el diagnóstico de síndrome metabólico en niños obesos / Utility of the triglycerides/HDL-C index from the first years of age in the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in obese children

Objetivo: Determinar la utilidad del índice triglicéridos/HDL-C (TG/HDL-C) para el diagnóstico de síndrome metabólico (SM) en niños obesos de 2 a 14 años. Material y métodos: Estudio transversal tipo prueba de diagnóstico. Fueron incluidos 360 niños obesos exógenos (199M/161F), divididos en tres grupos etarios: 2 a <6 años, 6 a <10 años y 10 a 14 años. Se definió SM según los criterios de la International Diabetes Federation y se evaluó al índice TG/HDL-C como diagnóstico en dos puntos de corte: ≥2,32 y ≥3,5, en cada grupo etario. Se aplicó Chi cuadrado, considerándose significativo p<0,05. Se determinó la sensibilidad, especificidad y valores predictivos positivo y negativo, para cada punto de corte. Resultados: La frecuencia de SM fue 15,79% de 2 a <6 años, 20,25% de 6 a <10 años, 19,63% de 10 a 14 años. En los niños con SM el 97,1% presentó HDL bajo, 83,8% triglicéridos elevados. Se encontró diferencia significativa en la frecuencia del índice TG/HDL-C en ambos puntos de corte, entre los niños con y sin SM en todos los grupos etarios. La sensibilidad para ambos puntos de corte fue alta (86-100%) y la especificidad fue mejor para el punto de corte ≥3,5 (72-80%). Conclusiones: El índice TG/HDL-C ≥3,5 representaría un marcador sensible y específico para el diagnóstico de síndrome metabólico desde los primeros años de vida.

Objective: To determine the utility of the triglycerides/HDL-C index for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MS) in obese 2-14 years of age children. Methods: Cross-sectional diagnostic study. We included 360 exogenous obese children (199M/161F) divided in three age groups: 2 to <6; 6 to <10 and 10-14 years. MS was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation and the TG/HDL-C index was evaluated using two cutoffs by age group, ≥2.32 and ≥3.5. Chi squared was used accepting a p value <0.05 as statistically significant. Fir each cut-off we determined sensitivity, specificity and predictive values. Results: Frequency of MS was 15.79% in the 2 to <6 years age group; 20.25% in the 6 to<10 years age group and 19.63% in the 10-14 years age group. Among children with SM, 97.1% had low HDL and 83.8% had elevated triglycerides. A statistically significant difference was found in the frequency of the TG/HDL-C index in children with or without MS in all age groups. Sensitivity for all cut-offs was high (86-100%) and specificity was best for the cut-off of ≥3.5 (72-80%). Conclusions: The TG/HDL-C index is a sensitive and specific marker of MS from the first years of age.

Current Sedation Practices in Procedures under Spinal Anaesthesia (SA)

Introduction: Peri-operative anxiety and stress associated with procedures under Spinal anaesthesia (SA) is common and sedation may help improving compliance of the patient and quality of SA. There is no standard sedation protocol for SA. Study aimed to observe the various sedation protocols practiced in our institute during SA with regard to drugs used and their dosages, sedation levels, effect on the duration of SA and to assess the patient satisfaction level. Material and methods:This was a prospective observational study comprised of patients undergoing elective surgeries under SA. IV sedation was given as per the attending anaesthesiologist’s discretion after SA. We noted hemodynamic parameters, RSS, two-dermatomal regression time, Patient satisfaction scores etc. Epi Info 7.2 software was used for statistical analysis. Results Total 500 patients received Dexmedetomidine (189), Midazolam (301) and Propofol (10) as IV sedation. Mean time required for regression of two-dermatomal sensory levels and for rescue analgesia requirement was prolonged in Dexmedetomidine (121.64, 203.75 mins resp.), as compared to Midazolam and Propofol. Mean Ramsay Sedation Score (2.4- 3) and Patient satisfaction scores (6-7.5) were comparable in all the drugs. Hemodynamic parameters were stable and comparable. No hypotension, respiratory depression seen except bradycardia (HR<50) noted in 4 patients of Dexmedetomidine. Conclusion: Drugs used for sedation in 500 patients were Dexmedetomidine, Midazolam and Propofol. All the drugs provided optimum sedation without respiratory depression with stable hemodynamics and good patient satisfaction. In addition, Dexmedetomidine increased durations of sensory anaesthesia and post-operative analgesia

Osteoma em côndilo mandibular associado à síndrome de gardner: relato de caso / Osteoma in mandibular condyle associated with gardner syndrome: a case report

Os osteomas geralmente são lesões solitárias, de crescimento lento e assintomáticas. Os locais de ocorrência mais comuns são o corpo da mandíbula e o côndilo, mas quando envolvem esta região podem causar alterações na oclusão do paciente, desvio progressivo e lento de linha média, assim como aumento do volume facial acompanhado de dor e limitação de abertura bucal. Cerca de 90% dos pacientes portadores da Síndrome de Gardner apresentam anormalidades esqueléticas, fazendo os osteomas as lesões mais frequentes e de maior ocorrência em seios paranasais e nos maxilares. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar o caso clínico de uma paciente do gênero feminino, portadora de Síndrome de Gardner com osteoma localizado em côndilo mandibular esquerdo que, devido aos sintomas relatados pelo paciente, foi submetida à ressecção cirúrgica por meio de acesso intra oral para melhor abordagem da lesão e que evoluiu para a solução da sintomatologia apresentada como queixa principal quando procurou o serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Buco-maxilo-facial.

Osteomas are usually solitary, slow-growing and asymptomatics lesions. The most common sites of occurrence are condyle and jaw body. Osteomas involving condyle can cause changes in patient’s occlusion, progressive and slow deviation of the midline, as well as increased facial volume accompanied by pain and limited mouth opening. An osteoma located in mandible border is typical of the Gardner’s Syndrome. There are many clinical features of this syndrome, which can affect the skin, endocrine system and orofacial area. About 90% of patients with this condition have skeletal abnormalities, making osteomas the most frequent lesions in the paranasal sinuses and jaws. The objective of this work is to report the clinical case of a female patient with Gardner’s Syndrome with osteoma located in the left mandibular condyle, who was submitted to resection of the lesion.
