Obesity and diabetes are the most common metabolic disorders, which are strongly related to Alzheimer's disease (AD) in aging. Diabetes and obesity can lead to the accumulation of amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), and other symptoms of AD through several pathways, including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, adipokines dysregulation, and vascular impairment. Currently, the use of polyphenols has been expanded in animal models and in-vitro studies because of their comparatively negligible adverse effects. Among them, quercetin (QT) is one of the most abundant polyphenolic flavonoids, which is present in fruits and vegetables and displays many biological, health-promoting effects in a wide range of diseases. The low bioavailability and poor solubility of QT have also led researchers to make various QT-involved nanoparticles (NPs) to overcome these limitations. In this paper, we review significant molecular mechanisms induced by diabetes and obesity that increase AD pathogenesis. Then, we summarize in vitro, in vivo, and clinical evidence regarding the anti-Alzheimer, anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects of QT. Finally, QT in pure and combination form using NPs has been suggested as a promising therapeutic agent for future studies.Background The aim of this study was to review information about risk factors for lower extremity running injuries in both short-distance (mean running distance ≤20 km/week and ≤10 km/session) and long-distance runners (mean running distance >20 km/week and >10 km/session). Methods Electronic databases were searched for articles published up to February 2019. Prospective cohort studies using multivariable analysis for the assessment of individual risk factors or risk models for the occurrence of lower extremity running injuries were included. Two reviewers independently selected studies for eligibility and assessed risk of bias with the Quality in Prognostic Studies tool. The GRADE approach was used to assess the quality of the evidence. Results A total of 29 studies were included; 17 studies focused on short-distance runners, 11 studies focused on long-distance runners, and 1 study focused on both types of runners. A previous running-related injury was the strongest risk factor for an injury for long-distance runners, with moderate-quality evidence. Previous injuries not attributed to running was the strongest risk factor for an injury for short-distance runners, with high-quality evidence. Higher body mass index, higher age, sex (male), having no previous running experience, and lower running volume were strong risk factors, with moderate quality evidence, for short-distance runners. Low-quality evidence was found for all risk models as predictors of running-related injuries among short- and long-distance runners. Conclusion Several risk factors for lower extremity injuries have been identified among short- and long-distance runners, but the quality of evidence for these risk factors for running-related injuries is limited. Odanacatib solubility dmso Running injuries seem to have a multifactorial origin both in short- and long-distance runners.Identifying the symptom clusters (two or more related symptoms) with shared underlying molecular mechanisms has been a vital analysis task to promote the symptom science and precision health. Related studies have applied the clustering algorithms (e.g. k-means, latent class model) to detect the symptom clusters mostly from various kinds of clinical data. In addition, they focused on identifying the symptom clusters (SCs) for a specific disease, which also mainly concerned with the clinical regularities for symptom management. Here, we utilized a network-based clustering algorithm (i.e., BigCLAM) to obtain 208 typical SCs across disease conditions on a large-scale symptom network derived from integrated high-quality disease-symptom associations. Furthermore, we evaluated the underlying shared molecular mechanisms for SCs, i.e., shared genes, protein-protein interaction (PPI) and gene functional annotations using integrated networks and similarity measures. We found that the symptoms in the same SCs tend to share a higher degree of genes, PPIs and have higher functional homogeneities. In addition, we found that most SCs have related symptoms with shared underlying molecular mechanisms (e.g. enriched pathways) across different disease conditions. Our work demonstrated that the integrated network analysis method could be used for identifying robust SCs and investigate the molecular mechanisms of these SCs, which would be valuable for symptom science and precision health.Background The combination of ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate is one of the commonly used treatments in dermatology regiment for skin inflammation accompanied by fungal infections. This interaction of ketoconazole and dexamethasone may make the drug much effective, decrease the adverse reaction or toxic effects. At present, there was no information about the interaction of these two external drugs. Therefore, it was necessary to build a model to measure the levels and evaluate the interaction of ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate in skin cells. Methods In our study, the determination methodology of ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate in human keratinocyte (HaCaT cells) was established and the interaction of these two drugs in cells was explored. HaCaT cells were cultured in medium containing ketoconazole, then they were sequentially cultured with or without dexamethasone acetate treatment for another 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 h. The samples were then harvested and the concentrations were quantified by epplied to establish the cell pharmacokinetics methodology and preliminary studied the metabolism of drug-drug interaction of ketoconazole and dexamethasone acetate.Introduction Among various reported techniques for inferior vena cava (IVC) reconstruction, the superiority of one technique over another has not been clearly established. This study aimed at reporting the technical aspects of caval reconstruction using peritoneal patch during extended liver resections. Methods All consecutive patients who underwent extended liver resection associated with anterolateral caval reconstruction using a peritoneal patch from 2016 to 2019 were included in this study. Technical insights, intra-operative details, short and long-term results were reported. Results Overall six patients underwent caval reconstruction using peritoneal patch under total vascular exclusion. Half of them required veno-venous bypass. Caval involvement ranged from 30 to 50% of the circumference and from 5 to 7 cm of the length of the IVC. Caval reconstructions was performed using a peritoneal patch harvested from the falciform ligament in four cases and from the right pre-renal peritoneum and right part of the diaphragm in one Case each.
