Indeed, specific immunoprecipitation experiments on human cell lines and CRC samples indicated that FMRP binds receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) mRNA, suggesting that FMRP acts as a regulator of necroptosis pathway through the surveillance of RIPK1 mRNA metabolism. Cinchocaine Treatment of human CRC cell lines and patient-derived colon cancer organoids with the FMR1 antisense resulted in up-regulation of RIPK1.

Altogether, these data support a role for FMRPin controlling RIPK1 expression and necroptotic activation in CRC.

This meta-analysis was performed to compare polymyxin monotherapy and polymyxin-based combination therapy for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) infections.

We conducted searches on MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Collaborative database for both observational studies and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing polymyxin monotherapy with polymyxin-based combination therapy in patients with CR-KP infection. The primary outcome was mortality. We divided all included studies into several groups according to different combination-combination and different infection types. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for outcome analysis.

Ten studies with 481 patients were included. Polymyxin monotherapy was associated with higher mortality than polymyxin-based combination therapy in treatment of CR-KP bloodstream infections (BSI) (OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.14-3.27, P = 0.01) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)/hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) (OR 3.82, 95% CI 1.15-12.71, P = 0.03). In subgroup analysis of different combinations, mortality was significantly higher with polymyxin monotherapy compared with combination therapy with tigecycline (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.05-3.37, P = 0.03), or with cabapenem (OR 3.11, 95% CI 1.25-7.74, P = 0.01), but no differences were found in combinations with aminoglycosides (OR 1.29, 95% CI 0.72-2.29, P = 0.38). Three-drug combination therapy including polymyxin was also associated with significant survival benefit (OR 3.86, 95% CI 1.60-9.32, P = 0.003).

Polymyxin-based combination therapy provides significant survival benefit in treatment of CR-KP, which appears to be more pronounced when a carbapenem or tigecycline is included in the regimen.

Studies reporting benchmark values for surgical procedures should provide instruments for comparison, gap analysis and adoption of corrective measures to improve the outcome.

A systematic search was performed to identify articles containing the MESH terms "benchmarking" AND "hepatectomy". An Institutional Review Board-approved database of all hepato-biliary surgical procedures, performed in a new tertiary referral surgical unit was used for benchmarking results with the values reported in the literature.

Five articles were suitable for benchmarking 3 based benchmark values (BMV) on the 75th percentiles of surgical outcomes among high-volume centers, one study provided BMV on the "Achievable Bench-mark of Care" and one study provided BMV on the 75th percentiles through a Bayesian prediction. When we benchmarked our surgical experience of 320 hepatic resections, we found margins for improvement for open major hepatectomies and for laparoscopic multiple resections/concomitant bowel resections but it was impossible to compare homogeneous sub-groups of patients for most of the procedures due to the lack of high-quality literature data.

Benchmarking a surgical experience with the BMV provided in literature was attempted but unfortunately the lack of a standardized way for conducting benchmark analysis did not allow, at present, reliable quality comparison and improvement.

To assess the antimicrobial efficacy of Silver diamine fluoride (SDF), Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), Chlorhexidine (CHX) and Photodynamic therapy (PDT) in radicular dentin and subsequent bond strength of Fiber reinforced composite post (FRCP) to radicular dentin.

Forty extracted premolars were disinfected and decoronated up-to cement-o-enamel junction (CEJ). Canals were instrumented using crown-down technique, dried and filled with gutta percha. Post space was prepared with the help of peso reamers and inoculated with E. faecalis. Samples were randomly allocated into four groups based on chemical irrigation (n = 10). Group 1, canal disinfected with (PDT, MB), group 2 (5.25 % NaOCl +17 % EDTA), group 3 (3.8 % SDF) and group 4 (CHX). Specimens were tested with confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis (CLSM) to confirm the presence of E. faecalis. Fibre post were luted in root canal and sectioned at three levels (apical, middle and coronal). Push-out test was performed and failure analysis of debonded surfntin treated with 5.25 % NaOCl and 17 % EDTA displayed highest antimicrobial and bond strength scores. SDF and PDT can potentially be used in canal irrigation.Changes in academic systems with respect to intellectual property (IP) as well as the increasing demand for external funding for high-tech research have led to a more and more prominent desire in the scientific environment to pursue both publishing and patenting. This article looks at the current state of the disclosure requirements in the context of patenting of life sciences inventions. This is done with the aim of providing some practical guidelines for researchers as to when an invention has been made and at what point in time it may be worth/reasonable to start filing a patent application, i.e. when there is sufficient data and information to allow a reasonable expectation of success.The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is a DNA polymerase expressed in acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs), where it may be involved in the generation of NPM1 and FLT3-ITD mutations. We studied the correlations between TdT expression and FLT3-ITD or NPM1 mutations in primary AML samples, and the impact on patients' survival. TdT expression was analyzed in 143 adult AML patients by flow cytometry as percentage of positivity and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) on blasts. TdT was positive in 49 samples (34.2%), with a median of 48% TdT-positivity (range 7-98) and a median MFI of 2.70 (range 1.23-30.54). FLT3-ITD and NPM1 mutations were present in 24 (16.7%) and 34 (23.7%) cases, respectively. Median TdT expression on blasts was significantly higher in FLT3-ITD+, as compared with FLT3-ITD- AMLs (median 8% vs 0% respectively, p = 0.035). NPM1 mutational status, FLT3-ITD allelic ratio, karyotype, and ELN risk groups, did not correlate with TdT expression or MFI on blasts. TdT + patients had poorer survival as compared to TdT-, but this result was not confirmed by the multivariable analysis, where ELN risk stratification as well as age and type of treatment remained independent prognostic factors for OS.
