Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the main cause of chemotherapy failure in the treatment of colon cancer and the high expression of drug efflux protein P-gp is one of the main factors of MDR. P-gp expression is regulated by the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. In this study, human colon cancer oxaliplatin-resistant cells were treated with oxaliplatin combined with the natural product erianin. Then, we evaluated the impact of erianin on drug resistance, and explored the relationship between erianin-related oxaliplatin resistance and the Janus kinase 2/STAT3 signaling pathway in vitro. Our research showed that erianin could significantly inhibit the proliferation of human colon cancer oxaliplatin-resistant cells, and suppress the cell cycle of oxaliplatin-resistant cells in the G2/M phase, indicating that erianin could regulate the MDR phenotype of oxaliplatin-resistant cells, and its mechanism might be the inhibition of STAT3 signaling pathway and the significant reduction of P-gp expression. Noradrenaline bitartrate monohydrate in vitro However, this study provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of erianin in platinum-based chemotherapy for colon cancer.

In the aftermath of fires which swept through a regional community in 2013, community leaders were thrust, unprepared, into the disaster recovery arena. The objective of this research was to investigate the subsequent lived experience of these community leaders and, based on this information, develop a guide to meet the challenges for their personal preparation in the context of disaster.

Ethical approval for the overarching Community Connections project was provided by Charles Sturt University (H2014073). The project design was informed by an interpretivist paradigm and the methodology embraced participatory action research and thus engaged community members and leaders as research partners. This paper reports on the community leader component of the overarching project.

Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia.

There were 7 interview participants in both 2014 and 2018; 5 participated in both years. Participants were either managers of a local non-government organisation, peak body, school, emergency service or large relief organisation with a local presence.

The development of a guide for the personal preparation of community leaders.

The stress of community leaders escalated after the disaster, resulting in a debilitating blurring of professional and personal boundaries, heightened demand on personal knowledge, networking relationships and communication strategies.

The guide is practical and far reaching; the researchers could not locate anything similar to guide community leaders in their personal planning and preparation for work in disaster recovery.

There are no liquid oral glucocorticoids labelled for management of pruritus and clinical lesions of feline hypersensitivity dermatitis (feline HD).

First, to demonstrate that dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DexSP, DexajectSP, Henry Schein; Dublin, OH, USA; 4mg/mL), an intravenous glucocorticoid, can be absorbed by healthy cats when administered orally. Second, to demonstrate the efficacy of orally administered DexSP for reducing pruritus and clinical lesions in patients with feline HD.

Seven healthy and 12 client-owned cats with HD.

Healthy cats were administered a single dose of 0.2mg/kg DexSP p.o. and serum concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Feline HD patients were assessed with SCORing Feline Allergic Dermatitis (SCORFAD) and pruritus Visual Analog Scale (pVAS) at Visit 1 (V1) and after 20-31 days of receiving 0.2mg/kg/day DexSP p.o. (V2). Complete blood cell counts, serum chemistry profile, and urinalysis were performed in 50% of feline HD patients at both visits.

Healthy cats had detectable serum concentrations of DexSP following oral administration; concentrations ranged from 0.7 to 92.3ng/mL. Feline HD patients showed significant decreases in SCORFAD and pVAS scores from V1 to V2.

DexSP was absorbed when administered orally to healthy cats and 0.2mg/kg/day DexSP is an efficacious dose to rapidly improve the pruritus and clinical lesions associated with feline HD.

Periostin, encoded by POSTN, is involved in tissue remodelling processes of chronic AD lesions. This study was designed to investigate the difference in the occurrence of skin atrophy in patients with AD or PSO when treated with TGC and to elucidate the association between skin atrophy and periostin. Big data analysis using Korean Health Claims Database was performed to determine the prevalence of SD in AD and PSO patients. Blood and skin eosinophils count and dermal fibrosis between AD and PSO patients were compared, and immunohistochemistry for periostin and mRNA sequencing in the dermis were performed. Animal experiments using AD and PSO murine model were conducted. Big data analysis revealed that patients with AD have significantly lesser degree of SD than patients with PSO. The ratio of the dermal fibrous tissues and eosinophil counts were significantly higher in AD patients. In AD skin, periostin was more widely distributed in the entire dermis and POSTN mRNAs were significantly upregulated. Dermal thickness and fibrosis were significantly higher in AD mice even after TGC treatment. A significant positive correlation was observed between dermal fibrosis and tissue eosinophil counts. Lesser skin atrophy in AD patients even after long-term TGC application could be resulted from skin fibrosis caused by increased tissue eosinophils and periostin deposition.There are four major classes of antifungals with the predominant mechanism of action being targeting of cell wall or cell membrane. As in other drugs, low solubility of these compounds has led to low bioavailability in target tissues. Enhanced drug dosages have effects such as toxicity, drug-drug interactions, and increased drug resistance by fungi. This article reviews the current state-of-the-art of antifungals, structure, mechanism of action, other usages, and toxic side effects. The emergence of nanoformulations to transport and uniformly release cargo at the target site is a boon in antifungal treatment. The article details research that lead to the development of nanoformulations of antifungals and potential advantages and avoidance of the lacunae characterizing conventional drugs. A range of nanoformulations based on liposomes, polymers are in various stages of research and their potential advantages have been brought out. It could be observed that under similar dosages, test models, and duration, nanoformulations provided enhanced activity, reduced toxicity, higher uptake and higher immunostimulatory effects. In most instances, the mechanism of antifungal activity of nanoformulations was similar to that of regular antifungal. There are possibilities of coupling multiple antifungals on the same nano-platform. Increased activity coupled with multiple mechanisms of action presents for nanoformulations a tremendous opportunity to overcome antifungal resistance. In the years to come, robust methods for the preparation of nanoformulations taking into account the repeatability and reproducibility in action, furthering the studies on nanoformulation toxicity and studies of human models are required before extensive use of nanoformulations as a prescribed drug.COVID-19 and climate change are both threats of immense proportions, however, the differing perception of climate change as far-off, projected and unpredictable, persists as a marked barrier to global action. COVID-19 is increasing awareness of the connection between human actions and environmental consequences. The current slowdown of fossil fuel use has given a glimpse of the quitter, cleaner and more caring world that effective climate change could also achieve. Decisions made in coming months can either "lock in" economic development patterns that will do permanent and escalating damage to the ecological systems, or, if wisely taken, can promote a healthier and greener world.

Workplace violence (WPV) includes verbal abuse, physical violence, bullying or mobbing, assault and sexual harassment. The area has been well researched in the developed and high-income countries among nurses and healthcare professionals, but in the case of the low and upper-middle-income countries, there remains a paucity of comprehensive data on the prevalence of WPV and its contributing factors.

To estimate the prevalence and determinants of WPV among nurses working in the South-East Asian Region and Western Pacific Regions.

Systematic review and Meta-analysis.

A comprehensive search was done to retrieve articles based on a PRISMA compliant protocol registered in PROSPERO CRD 42020223605. Study selection, quality assessment and data abstraction were independently done by the team members and discrepancies addressed through mutual consensus. Random-effect meta-analysis, I2statistics and subgroup analysis were done.

The review included 41studies conducted among 42,222 nurses from 13 countries. The mitment are vital for ensuring effective policies to combat WPV.

Our review highlights the emerging need to focus on the prevention of WPV among nurses working in lower, middle and upper-middle-income countries. Legislation changes and organisational commitment are vital for ensuring effective policies to combat WPV.

To describe essential aspects of care continuity from the perspectives of persons with complex care needs and their family carers.

Continuity of care is an important aspect of quality, safety and efficiency. For people with multiple chronic diseases and complex care needs, care must be experienced as connected and coherent, and consistent with medical and individual needs. The more complex the need for care, the greater the need for continuity across different competencies, services and roles.

A constructivist grounded theory approach was applied.

Sixteen patients with one or more chronic diseases needing both health care and social care, living in their private homes, and twelve family carers, were recruited. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed with constructivist grounded theory. The COREQ checklist was followed.

A conceptual model of care continuity was constructed, consisting of five categories that were interconnected through the core category time and space. Patients' and family carers' experiences of care continuity and may guide the delivery of care to people with complex care needs.

A benefit of automatically transmitting or "wireless" CIEDs (W-CIED) is the prompt detection of device malfunction and arrhythmias. We hypothesized that the use of W-CIEDs would improve the efficiency of remote monitoring by decreasing unnecessary CIED remote transmissions because of the automatic detection of abnormalities.

To compare the frequency of patient-initiated transmissions in patients with W-CIEDs versus non-wireless CIEDs (NW-CIED) at a single pediatric and congenital heart center.

Retrospective cohort study of patients with W-CIEDs followed over a 2-year period compared to a similar cohort of patients with NW-CIED. All CIED remote transmissions during were reviewed for indication and outcome.

The W-CIED cohort had 87 patients; mean age 20 ± 13 years; NW-CIED cohort had 220 patients; mean age 22 ± (13) years. The mean number of symptomatic patient-initiated transmissions per patient was 0.93 ± 2.65 in the W-CIED cohort versus 0.39 ± 0.64 in the NW-CIED cohort (p≤.001). The mean number of asymptomatic patient-initiated transmission sent per patient in the W-CIED cohort was 1.
