RÉSUMÉ

ABSTRACT Purpose: To characterize the extracellular vesicle protein cargo in the aqueous humor and plasma of patients with ocular toxoplasmosis. Methods: Aqueous humor and plasma were collected from six patients with active ocular toxoplasmosis and six patients with cataract. Extracellular vesicles were isolated, and western blotting and mass spectrometry were performed for protein analysis. Results: All plasma samples from patients with ocular toxoplasmosis and cataract were positive for the tetraspanins CD63 and TSG101. However, the aqueous humor from patients with ocular toxoplasmosis was positive only for CD63. Sixty-seven new unreported proteins were identified in the aqueous humor and plasma of patients with the ocular toxoplasmosis and cataract. Of the 67 proteins, 10 and 7 were found only in the cataract and ocular toxoplasmosis groups, respectively. In general, these proteins were involved in immune system activation and retina homeostasis and were related to infections and retina-associated diseases. Conclusion: The distinct protein signatures between ocular toxoplasmosis and cataract may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of ocular toxoplasmosis. However, more studies are needed to better understand the role of these proteins in the pathogenesis of ocular toxoplasmosis.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the evidence of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Stem cells therapy (SCT) and Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWL) for the treatment of Peyronies disease (PD), including information from the main urological society guidelines. Materials and Methods: A literature review of PubMed articles published between 2000 and 2023 was conducted, utilizing keywords such as "Peyronie's Disease", "Penile curvature", "Platelet Rich Plasma", "Stem cells", and "Extracorporeal shockwave therapy". Only full-text articles in English were included, excluding case reports and opinions. Results: A considerable number of clinical trials were conducted using PRP penile injections for therapy of PD, showing reduction of curvature, plaque size and improvement in quality of life. Preclinical studies in rats have shown the potential benefit of adipose-derived stem cells, with improvements in erectile function and fibrosis. Human studies with mesenchymal stem cells demonstrated promising results, with reduction of curvature and plaque size. ESWL effects on PD were investigated in randomized clinical trials and demonstrated no significant impact in curvature or plaque size, but reasonable effect on pain control. Conclusion: Restorative therapies has emerged as an innovative treatment option for PD and the results from current studies appear to be promising and demonstrated good safety profile. Unfortunately, due to scarce evidence, PRP and SCT are still considered experimental by American Urological Association (AUA) and European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines. ESWT is recommended, by the same guidelines, for pain control only. More high-quality studies with long-term follow-up outcomes are needed to evaluate efficacy and reproducibility of those therapies.

Background: Blood transfusion is a routine lifesaving medical intervention which is generally regarded as safe when done properly. However, at the same time it also bears considerable risk. The aim of the study was to assess the serum IgE levels in patients experiencing transfusion-related allergic reactions after receiving fresh frozen plasma. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Transfusion Medicine, BSMMU, from March 2019 to August 2021, focusing on patients aged 5 to 60 years receiving fresh frozen plasma. Patients were included after obtaining informed consent from themselves or their legal guardians in the case of minors, according to the eligibility criteria. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, with statistical significance set at p<0.05, employing Chi-square tests and Pearson抯 correlation coefficient for variable comparisons. Results: Raised IgE level was significantly related with transfusion related allergic reaction after receiving fresh frozen plasma (p<0.05). The mean IgE was 521.4�4.6 in patients with reaction and 67.8�.2 in patients without reaction. Significant positive correlation was observed in serum IgE level with age in years. Conclusions: Patients with transfusion related allergic reaction receiving fresh frozen plasma had higher mean IgE levels as compared to those without reaction.

RÉSUMÉ

Diverse treatments, including polyhexamethylene biguanide dressings, have been explored for managing diabetic foot ulcers. Platelet-rich plasma, known for its potential in chronic wound healing, has demonstrated efficacy both in vivo and in vitro, with possible intralesional or topical application. However, research on the production costs of PRP is scarce. This study compares the effectiveness and financial implications of polyhexamethylene biguanide dressings versus Platelet-rich Plasma in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Conducted at the General Hospital of Mexico from July to August 2019, this case series involved 8 patients, split equally between the two treatment groups. Weekly assessments showed consistent reductions in wound size in both groups. By the fourth week, 75% of patients achieved clinical healing. The PHMB group demonstrated a 75.13% reduction in wound size, compared to a 37.38% reduction in the PRP group. However, due to the small sample size, no statistical significance was found between wound size, healing time, and dressing type. This report suggests no clear relationship between treatment, healing duration, and wound diameter. Additionally, PRP did not show a clear financial advantage over PHMB dressings. Randomized control trials with sufficient sample sizes are required to demonstrate overall advantage for each therapy choice.

RÉSUMÉ

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven the search for alternative therapies, including convalescent plasma, historically used in infectious diseases. Despite results in other diseases, its effectiveness against COVID-19 remains uncertain with conflicting results in clinical trials. A pragmatic, single-center, prospective, and open randomized controlled trial was carried out in a hospital in Brazil, with the aim of evaluating the impact of convalescent plasma on the clinical improvement of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) ordinal scale was used to measure clinical improvement, focusing on the reduction in disease severity by up to 2 points, while antibody and C-reactive protein levels were monitored over time. After hospital admission, participants were randomized 1:1 to receive convalescent plasma and standard treatment or to be part of the control group with standard treatment. Follow-up was carried out on days 1, 3, 7, 14 and/or at discharge. From January 14 to April 4, 2022, 38 patients were included, but 3 were excluded due to protocol deviations, resulting in a total of 35 patients: 19 in the control group and 16 in the plasma group. There was no significant difference in clinical improvement between the convalescent plasma group and the control group, nor in secondary outcomes. The study had limitations due to the small number of patients and limited representation of COVID-19 cases. Broader investigations are needed to integrate therapies into medical protocols, both for COVID-19 and other diseases. Conducting randomized studies is challenging due to the complexity of medical conditions and the variety of treatments available.

RÉSUMÉ

With rapid development of organ transplantation, the issue of global organ shortage has become increasingly prominent. At present, liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for end-stage liver disease. Nevertheless, the shortage of donors has been a key problem restricting the development of liver transplantation. China is a country with a larger number of hepatitis B, and the shortage of donor liver is particularly significant. Many critically ill patients often lose the best opportunity or even die because they cannot obtain a matched donor liver in time. As a strategy to expand the donor pool, ABO-incompatible (ABOi) liver transplantation offers new options for patients who are waiting for matched donors. However, ABOi liver transplantation is highly controversial due to higher risk of complications, such as severe infection, antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), biliary complications, thrombotic microangiopathy, and acute kidney injury, etc. In this article, research progress in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative strategies of ABOi liver transplantation was reviewed, aiming to provide reference for clinical application and research of ABOi liver transplantation.

Levetiracetam (LEV) is the second generation of broad-spectrum anti-epileptic drug. LEV has the advantages of rapid absorption, short half-life, precise efficacy, good tolerance and few drug interactions. In order to improve the clinical efficacy of LEV, and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and patients with renal insufficiency should receive therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Clinically, the samples are usually plasma or serum, and the TDM methods are mostly immunoassay or chromatography. There is currently no consensus on the effective concentration range of LEV, and the correlation between plasma concentration and adverse reactions is also unclear. The main factors affecting LEV plasma concentration include age, pregnancy, and patient compliance. How to interpret TDM results and adjust dosage based on the results will be the focus of future work.

@#The plasma matrix is a kind of autologous blood conduct. It has been widely used in maxillofacial tissue regeneration, skin cosmetology and some other fields. Recently, to preserve the dental pulp as well as the teeth, pulp regeneration therapy and apical surgery have become increasingly important as well as the applications of bioactive materials. As a kind of autologous bioactive material, the plasma matrix has some natural advantages as it is easy to obtain and malleable. The plasma matrix can be used in the following cases: ①pulp revascularization of young permanent teeth with open apical foramina that cannot stimulate apical bleeding; ② apical barrier surgery with bone defects and large area perforation repair with bone defects or root sidewall repair surgery; ③ apical surgeries of teeth with large area of apical lesions, with or without periodontal diseases. The plasma matrix is a product derived from our blood, and there are no obvious contraindications for its use. Several systematic reviews have shown that the plasma matrix can effectively promote the regenerative repair of dental pulp in patients with periapical diseases. However, the applications of plasma matrix are different because its characteristics are affected by different preparation methods. In addition, there is still a lack of long-term clinical researches on the plasma matrix, and the histological evidences are difficult to obtain, so a large number of in vitro and in vivo experimental studies are still needed. This article will describe the applications of different kinds of plasma matrix for dental pulp regeneration and bone tissue regeneration in apical surgeries to provide references for clinicians in indication selection and prognosis evaluation.

RÉSUMÉ

ObjectiveUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was used to identify the metabolites of harmine in rats, in order to explore the differences in distribution of metabolites in rats after single dose(40 mg·kg-1) intragastric administration of harmine, as well to speculate the metabolic pathways. MethodSD rats were given a single dose of harmine by intragastric administration. Plasma, bile, urine and feces samples were collected after administration, and the samples were processed for determination by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. The separation was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC™ HSS T3 columu(2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.8 μm) with acetonitrile(A)-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution(B) as mobile phase for gradient elution(0-2 min, 5%A; 2-9 min, 5%-35%A; 9-9.5 min, 35%-100%A; 9.5-12 min, 100%A; 12-12.5 min, 100%-5%A; 12.5-14 min, 5%A), the mass spectra were obtained in positive ion mode with electrospray ionization(ESI), the scanning range was m/z 50-1 200. The metabolites of harmine were identified based on the information of the obtained compounds and the literature data, and the metabolic pathways were hypothesized. ResultA total of 42 compounds(harmine and its metabolites) were identified in rats, including 27 in plasma, 17 in bile, 26 in urine and 13 in feces. The metabolic pathways involved in these 42 metabolites included monohydroxylation, dihydroxylation, demethylation, glucuronidation and sulfation. ConclusionHarmine can undergo phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolic reactions in rats, and the prototype drug is metabolized rapidly in vivo, and the metabolites are mainly excreted by the kidneys, which can provide a reference basis for the pharmacodynamics and material basis of harmine.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of transurethral plasma electrotomy with rod electrode and end-to-end urethral anastomosis in the treatment of short urethral stricture.Methods 125 male patients with short urethral stricture(<2 cm)who were admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.According to different surgical methods,they were divided into transurethral plasma resection with rod electrode(minimally invasive group)and urethral end-to-end anastomosis(open group).According to the length of urethral stricture,the minimally invasive group was divided into minimally invasive group 1(stricture length≤1 cm),minimally invasive group 2(stricture length1-2 cm),open group 1(stricture length ≤1 cm)and open group 2(stricture length 1-2 cm).The four groups were compared with each other,and the surgical success rates were compared between the four groups.Results The success rate of the minimally invasive group 1 and the open group 1 was 88.57%and 93.10%,respectively.There was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The surgical success rate of the minimally invasive group 2 and the open group 2 was 67.86%and 90.91%,respectively.The surgical success rate of the minimally invasive group 2 was significantly lower than that of the open group 2.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The surgical success rate of minimally invasive group 1 and minimally invasive group 2 was 88.57%and 67.86%,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The success rate of operation in the open group 1 and the open group 2 was 93.10%and 90.91%,respectively,and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Transurethral plasma resection with rod electrode is preferred for urethral stricture with length≤1 cm,because the success rate of this surgery is the same as that of open surgery,and the surgical trauma is small and the recovery is fast.For 1-2 cm urethral stricture,minimally invasive surgery has less trauma and faster recovery,but open surgery has a higher success rate.The choice of surgical method needs to weigh the advantages and disadvantages and take comprehensive consideration.
