66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.47 to 0.93]. The SC approach was also associated with a decreased incidence of catheter malposition, relative to that observed for the IC approach [odds ratio, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.46]. The SC approach did not reduce the time required for cannulation [mean difference, -74.74; 95% CI, -157.80 to 8.33], and there were no differences in the incidence of artery puncture [odds ratio, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.29 to 1.23] or pneumothorax [odds ratio, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.33 to 2.40]. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that SVC via the SC approach should be utilized in adults. INTRODUCTION AND AIMS That physical, emotional and social problems occur not only to drinkers, but also to others they connect with, is increasingly acknowledged. Financial harms from others' drinking have been seldom studied at the population level, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. PF-02341066 order Whether financial harm and costs from others' drinking inequitably affect women is little known. The study's aim is to compare estimates and correlates of alcohol's financial harm to others than the drinker in 15 countries. METHODS AND MATERIALS Cross-sectional surveys of Alcohol's Harm To Others (AHTO) were conducted in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, India, Ireland, Lao PDR, New Zealand, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, the US and Vietnam. PARTICIPANTS 17,670 men and 20,947 women. MEASUREMENT The prevalence of financial harm in the last year was assessed as financial trouble and/or less money available for household expenses because of someone else's drinking. ANALYSIS Meta-analysis and country-level logistic regression of financial harm (vs. none), adjusted for gender, age, education, rurality and participant drinking. RESULTS Under 3.2 % of respondents in most high-income countries reported financial harm due to others' drinking, whereas 12-22 % did in Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. Financial harm from others' drinking was significantly more common among women than men in nine countries. Among men and women, financial harm was significantly more prevalent in low- and middle- than in high-income countries. CONCLUSIONS Reports of financial harm from others' drinking are more common among women than among men, and in low- and middle-income than in high-income countries. The anticancer properties of several labdane diterpenes have been well characterized, notably for andrographolide and sclareol. In contrast, the structurally related natural product coronarin D (CRD), principally isolated from the ginger Hedychium coronarium, is much less known. Recently, different studies have underlined the anticancer activities of CRD and in particular its capacity to inhibit the growth and to induce the death of glioblastoma and carcinoma cell lines in vitro. The present review provides a global view of the activities and mechanism of action of CRD and the analogy with the other anticancer labdane diterpenes. CRD exerts its antiproliferative action via an activation of the MAPK pathway, notably by a stimulation of ERK/JNK phosphorylation, which subsequently leads to drug-induced inhibition of cell proliferation and activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Reactive oxygen species also play a role in the bioactivity of drug, but no well-defined molecular target has been characterized yet. CRD presents an interesting activity profile in vitro and warrants in vivo evaluations, notably for the treatment of glioblastoma. HNSCC is an aggressive tumor that often recurrence and metastasis. Although the treatment of HNSCC has improved over the past few decades, it is easy to recurrence even after comprehensive treatment. Ran is a small Ras-related GTPase belonging to the Ras superfamily. Recently, Ran has been proven to be an important oncogene involved in the metastatic progression of many human cancers. But there is seldom research on HNSCC about Ran. This study revealed the relationship between Ran expression and HNSCC characteristics, investigated the expression and role of Ran in HNSCC tissues and cells by means of immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, CCK-8, FCM and transwell migration assays. The results indicated that HNSCC tissues had significantly higher Ran expression than adjacent non-tumor tissues. The overall survival rate was significantly lower in patients with Ran-positive tumors than in those with Ran-negative tumors. Moreover, Ran was positively correlated with tumor grade, lymph node metastasis and recurrence. Ran was also high expressed in the HNSCC cell lines (PCI-37B and SCC9) and down regulated of Ran could evidently inhibit their proliferation, migration and down-regulate of Met protein. In conclusion, our findings suggested Ran could promote the proliferation and migration ability of HNSCC cells. Ran may play an important role in the development of HNSCC and may serve as a novel prognostic indicator of HNSCC. In 2016, a new interferon-gamma release assay, QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus, was introduced. We conducted a cross-sectional multicenter study, involving 158 children and adolescents with tuberculosis disease. The overall sensitivity of the assay was 82.9% (IQR 77.0%-88.8%), indicating that in children this test does not have higher sensitivity than previous generation interferon-gamma release assays. Genome editing opens up a new frontier in developing personalized therapeutic solutions. With the unprecedented advance in the discovery and engineering of gene editing nucleases, it has now become potentially feasible to therapeutically influence up to 90% of all human genetic mutations. Hearing loss is one of the most well studied fields from the genetics perspective, with more than one hundred identified deafness genes. Novel viral and non-viral vectors have been established as safe and efficient modalities to deliver transgenes into cells of the cochlea and to the vestibular system in animal models. Recent studies demonstrated proof-of-concept for therapeutic genome and base editing in the mammalian inner ear and preclinical development is ongoing. This review summarizes important advances and future challenges for this transformative therapeutic modality for genetic and non-genetic hearing loss.
