44 ± 0.05 for PAN-02 and ≈1.45 ± 0.05 for KPC vs 0.95 ± 0.10 seconds for surroundings) and significantly higher lactate/pyruvate ratios by hyperpolarized 13 C MR (0.53 ± 0.2 for PAN-02 and 0.78 ± 0.2 for KPC vs 0.11 ± 0.04 for control and 0.31 ± 0.04 for pancreatitis-bearing mice). Although the latter could also distinguish early-stage tumors from healthy animal controls, their response was similar to that in our pancreatitis model. Still, this ambiguity could be lifted using the 1 H-based reporters. If confirmed for other kinds of pancreatic tumors this means that these approaches, combined, can provide a route to an early detection of pancreatic cancer.

The prostate cancer (PCa) has been a global problem to men health. Notably, the androgen receptor (AR) is essential for both normal development of prostate and prostate cancer progression.

The RNA sequencing was used to identify the novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) termed PCAL7. The RT-qPCR was performed to quantify PCAL7 expression. Migration and proliferation assays were used to examine the function of PCAL7. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to determine subcellular localization.

By RNA sequencing, the differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified (top 10 upregulated lncRNAs PCAL7, AC083843.1, CTC-338M12.3, RP11-443B7.1, RP11-1008C21.2, RN7SL329P, RP4-773N10.4, RP11-264B17.2, KB-1507C5.2, and RP11-20B24.6; top 10 downregulated lncRNAs RP11-77H9.2, RAB11FIP1P1, AP001625.6, CTA-217C2.1, RP11-603J24.7, RP11-315I20.1, AC092839.1, RP4-758J18.10, RP11-259O2.3, and HMGN2P17). PCAL7 was the lncRNA with the highest fold upregulation and significantly correlated with AR signaling during prostate cancer progression. The AR-regulated PCAL7 was abundantly overexpressed in prostate cancer tissues and AR-dependent cell lines. PCAL7 knockdown inhibited cell migration and proliferation. Consistently, the migration and proliferation were promoted by PCAL7 overexpression. PCAL7 depletion via antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) markedly suppressed AR signaling and tumor growth. Mechanistically, PCAL7 interacted with Huntingtin-interacting protein 1 (HIP1) to stabilize HIP1. Therefore, PCAL7 could advance AR signaling via a novel positive feedback loop.

Our experiments support an oncogenic role for PCAL7 which promotes prostate cancer progression suggesting PCAL7 may serve as a potential therapeutic target.

Increased serum interleukin 17 (IL-17) concentration has been associated with the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in humans. No data are available about IL-17 in immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) of dogs.

Monitor changes in serum IL-17 concentration during the acute stages of IMHA in dogs, compared with results in healthy dogs, and its relationship with outcome.

Thirty-one client-owned dogs with primary IMHA and 27 healthy dogs.

Quantification of serum IL-17 concentration using a commercially available ELISA kit at the time of admission (D0), after 48 hours (D2) and after 96 hours (D4) as compared to concentration in healthy dogs. The IMHA dogs were classified as survivors if discharged from hospital, or nonsurvivors for any cause of in-hospital mortality.

Mean serum IL-17 concentration was higher in dogs with IMHA on admission compared with healthy dogs (D0), but this difference was not significant (mean, 19.52 pg/mL vs 10.52 pg/mL, respectively, P = .17). Throughout hospitalization, serum IL-17 concentration significantly decreased in survivors. Serum IL-17 concentration at D0 was not different between survivors and nonsurvivors, but surviving dogs had significantly lower serum IL-17 concentration at D2 and D4 (P = .04 and P = .004, respectively) compared with nonsurviving dogs. No correlation was found between serum IL-17 concentration and serum total bilirubin or lactate concentrations or CBC parameters.

Serum IL-17 concentration remained significantly higher in nonsurviving IMHA dogs whereas it significantly decreased during hospitalization in survivors, making serum IL-17 concentration a potential biomarker for severity and response to treatment in IMHA.

Prior studies have found such spillovers in health care, from managed care to nonmanaged care populations-reducing spending and utilization, and improving outcomes, including in Medicare. This study provides the first plausibly causal estimates of such spillovers from Medicare Advantage (MA) to Traditional Medicare (TM) in the post-Affordable Care Act era using an instrumental variables approach. Controlling for health status and other potential confounders, we estimate that a one percentage point increase in county-level MA penetration results in a $64 (95% CI $18 to $110) (0.7%) reduction in standardized per-enrollee TM spending. We find evidence for reductions in utilization both on the intensive and extensive margins, across a number of health care services. Our results complement and extend prior work that found spillovers from MA to TM in earlier years and under different payment policies than are in place today.Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease where dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra are lost, resulting in a decrease in striatal dopamine and, consequently, motor control. Dopaminergic degeneration is associated with the appearance of Lewy bodies, which contain membrane structures and proteins, including α-synuclein (α-Syn), in surviving neurons. PD displays a multifactorial pathology and develops from interactions between multiple elements, such as age, environmental conditions, and genetics. Mutations in the GBA1 gene represent one of the major genetic risk factors for PD. This gene encodes an essential lysosomal enzyme called β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), which is responsible for degrading the glycolipid glucocerebroside into glucose and ceramide. GCase can generate glucosylated cholesterol via transglucosylation and can also degrade the sterol glucoside. Although the molecular mechanisms that predispose an individual to neurodegeneration remain unknown, the role of cholesterol in PD pathology deserves consideration. Disturbed cellular cholesterol metabolism, as reflected by accumulation of lysosomal cholesterol in GBA1-associated PD cellular models, could contribute to changes in lipid rafts, which are necessary for synaptic localization and vesicle cycling and modulation of synaptic integrity. α-Syn has been implicated in the regulation of neuronal cholesterol, and cholesterol facilitates interactions between α-Syn oligomers. In this review, we integrate the results of previous studies and describe the cholesterol landscape in cellular homeostasis and neuronal function. We discuss its implication in α-Syn and Lewy body pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PD, focusing on the role of GCase and cholesterol. © 2020 The Authors. see more Movement Disorders published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.We investigated the psychological toll of exposure to rocket attacks as experienced by residents of central and southern Israel during the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict. Participants completed an online survey assessing their life-threatening experiences, the availability of psychosocial resources, and symptoms of both PTSD (PCL-5) and nonspecific psychological distress (K6) 2-3 months posttrauma. Guided by the conservation of resources theory, we focused on the distress-protective functions of person- and community-oriented resources mastery, perceived social support, and sense of community. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that elevated exposure to rocket attacks predicted higher levels of PTSD but not psychological distress. All 13 predictors (i.e., sociodemographic factors, trauma exposure, personal and community resources) and three interactions between rocket attack-related trauma exposure and each of the resources accounted for a significant amount of the variance in PTSD, R2 = .251, adjusted R2 = .235, and nonspecific psychological distress, R2 = .280, adjusted R2 = .264. Predictably, higher levels of mastery and perceived social support were associated with lower PCL-5 and K6 scores. Unexpectedly, respondents who reported a higher sense of community exhibited more PTSD symptoms. Supplementary analyses indicated that among individuals with lower levels of mastery, sense of community was related to higher PCL-5 scores. Psychosocial resources are important for coping with community-wide stressors, but their roles are complex. Maintaining a sense of community among individuals who experience shared trauma is undoubtedly critical, yet potential downsides of collective coping among those with lower levels of mastery should be recognized and further investigated.This study aims to investigate the clinical signs, symptoms, complications and seasonal distribution of herpes zoster for otherwise healthy children and to demonstrate the outcome of varicella vaccinations on the herpes zoster incidence in a pediatric population. A retrospective study was conducted by using the data of the pediatric patients who were referred to two rural cities of Turkey, clinically diagnosed as Herpes Zoster (HZ). All participants were evaluated for clinical-epidemiological factors, signs, symptoms, complications and varicella vaccination status for HZ. This study was comprised of 69 pediatric patients (29 [42%] female and 40 [58%] male) who were diagnosed with HZ. The mean age was 10.57 (6 months-17) years old. The rash of HZ mostly appeared on the thoracic dermatome as seen in 29 patients. The findings revealed that among 56 unvaccinated patients of all, 25 (44.6%) had a painful rash, in comparison among vaccinated patients none reported pain as the characterization of shingles (P = .001). Annual distribution of cases showed two peaks (March and September), whereas in August no cases were detected. Of all participants, one patient had postherpetic neuralgia, who also had ophthalmic dermatomal involvement, and this was the only complication observed in this study cohort. In immunocompetent children, the most common involvement site was the thoracic dermatome. Our findings show that varicella vaccination has a protective role in the herpes zoster clinic, both by decreasing the prevalence and by making the infection course less severe.The two authors intend to underline the continuities and discontinuities that organize the Milan Approach, after the splitting from Selvini Palazzoli and Prata; they intend to tell the teachings of Luigi Boscolo and Gianfranco Cecchin from the beginning of training in 1978 till nowadays. After having spoken of some important stages in the work till the death of the two masters, the article underlines two major new aspects. 1. We speak about the corporeal turn embodied experience as preconceptual know-how from which concepts are structured. We speak about the connections between bodies and social issues that enact forms of knowledge and understanding. 2. In this period of war, violence, and tyranny, we speak about epistemology and ontology as complementary stances the need to let others disclose themselves, by allowing them to speak their own terms of engagement. The therapeutic effort is one of deactivating the dangers of one's own presuppositions and prejudices that limit one's capacity to describe and make hypothesis.
