Thus, 3M Coban 2 Lite seems safe and effective for treating painful VLUs and MLUs in patients unable to tolerate high-strength compression.Objective Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) often develop arthropathy. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of and risk factors for arthropathy in patients with UC who underwent total colectomy which is the final radical treatment lead to remission.Methods Patients who underwent total colectomy from January 2007 to April 2016 were analyzed for the development of arthropathy. The type of arthropathy and risk factors for developing arthropathy were analyzed by clinical and endoscopic severity classification, extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) and medical treatment.Results Total of 219 patients who underwent total colectomy with sufficient medical records were analyzed. Forty-eight cases (21.9%) had EIMs, and 40 cases (18.2%) developed arthropathy (57.0% polyarthropathy; 42.5% peripheral arthropathy). Multivariate analysis showed that severity of Matts classification grade 3 or 4 versus grade 1 or 2 (hazard ratio [HR] 2.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22-4.36, p less then 0.05) and EIMs other than arthropathy (HR 3.29, 95% CI 1.43-7.58, p less then 0.05) were risk factors for the development of arthropathy.Conclusion This study showed that approximately one fifth of patients with UC who underwent total colectomy developed arthropathy. The risk factors for the development of arthropathy were preoperative endoscopic disease activity and EIMs.Enterococcus cecorum (EC) is known to cause skeletal lesions in broiler chickens and also systemic infections in Pekin ducks. Despite the importance of the pathogen, there is still a lack of serological diagnostic tools for the detection of EC infections. Here we describe the development of an in-house indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of EC-specific antibodies and its application by examination of 67 sera from experimentally infected Pekin ducks, 710 field samples from 4 Pekin duck breeder flocks previously vaccinated with inactivated vaccines and 80 samples from commercial Pekin ducks coming from vaccinated parent flocks. All groups that had been experimentally inoculated via air sac route were positive in the new ELISA, with significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased mean S/P ratios of 0.71 to 2.70 at days 7, 14 and 21 post infection, while orally inoculated ducks and the EC-free control group remained negative with mean S/P ratios of 0.0 to 0.15. Antibodies were also detected in each of 4 vaccinated Pekin duck breeder flocks, 67.8 % of the samples were antibody positive. The highest S/P ratios were found between 16 and 26 weeks (median S/P ratios from 0.15 to 1.03), but antibodies were still detected in some serum samples in weeks 61 to 67 ph. No antibodies were detected in the commercial Pekin ducks.Antibody development in the ducks may be influenced by the composition of the inactivated vaccine. The new ELISA assay provides a useful tool for investigations on response to EC infections and vaccinations.Domestic waterfowl plays an important role in the perpetuation and transmission of avian pathogens including avian influenza viruses (AIV) of low and high pathogenicity, which pose severe economic and public health concerns in Bangladesh. This study focused on active surveillance of several avian viral pathogens with a special reference to AIV in selected backyard duck populations in Bangladesh. A total of 500 pooled oropharyngeal and cloacal samples from individual ducks of four districts were tested by real time PCRs for the presence of AIV, avian avulavirus-1, anatid herpesvirus-1, avian parvovirus, avian bornavirus and avian coronavirus. The investigation identified 27 (5.4%) ducks positive for AIV and 12 (2.4%) for avian coronavirus. In 13 samples, RNA specific for AIV H4N6 was detected. Phylogenetic analysis of the AIV hemagglutinin H4 and neuraminidase N6 genes suggested a clustering of Bangladeshi AIV H4N6 in Eurasian lineage group 2. Other AIV positive sample had very low virus loads (Cq >36) and were not subtyped. Coronaviral sequences of a fragment of the polymerase gene were related to Eurasian-Australian duck gamma-coronaviruses. Our current active surveillance in free-range domestic backyard ducks in Bangladesh failed to detect highly pathogenic (HP) AIV in contrast to our previous passive monitoring study. Vorinostat concentration Nevertheless, active monitoring of domestic duck populations may be important to highlight presence and transmission dynamics of economically less important AIV that still may serve as reassortment partners for the generation of new HP and zoonotic AIV.Research highlights Active surveillance for viral pathogens in domestic free-range backyard ducks.Detection of avian influenza virus subtype H4N6.First identification of avian gamma-coronavirus in ducks in Bangladesh.Humanin, a small regulatory peptide encoded within the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (MT-RNR2) of the mitochondrial genome, has cellular cyto- and metabolo-protective properties similar to that of aerobic exercise training. Here we investigated whether acute high-intensity interval exercise or short-term high-intensity interval training (HIIT) impacted skeletal muscle and plasma humanin levels. Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies and plasma samples were collected from young healthy untrained men (n=10, 24.5±3.7 y) before, immediately following, and 4 h following the completion of 10 x 60 s cycle ergometer bouts at VO2peak power output (untrained). Resting and post-exercise sampling was also performed after six HIIT sessions (trained) completed over 2 weeks. Humanin protein abundance in muscle and plasma were increased following an acute high-intensity exercise bout. Vorinostat concentration HIIT trended (p=0.063) to lower absolute humanin plasma levels, without effecting the response in muscle or plasma to acute exercise. A similar response in the plasma was observed for the small humanin-like peptide 6 (SHLP6), but not SHLP2, indicating selective regulation of peptides encoded by MT-RNR2 gene. There was a weak positive correlation between muscle and plasma humanin levels, and contraction of isolated mouse EDL muscle increased humanin levels approximately 4-fold. The increase in muscle humanin levels with acute exercise was not associated with MT-RNR2 mRNA or humanin mRNA levels (which decreased following acute exercise). Overall, these results suggest that humanin is an exercise sensitive mitochondrial peptide and acute exercise-induced humanin responses in muscle are non-transcriptionally regulated and may partially contribute to the observed increase in plasma concentrations.
