91 to -0.21; P=0.002). In the subgroup analyses, the abundance of F.prausnitzii was reduced in both active CD patients (SMD -0.78; 95% CI, -1.51 to -0.04; P=0.04) and active UC patients (SMD-0.44; 95%CI, -0.81 to -0.07; P=0.02) when compared with the patients with CD or UC in remission, respectively.

A negative association between abundance of F.prausnitzii and IBD activity is observed, but a cut-off level of F.prausnitzii to diagnose and/or to start treating IBD is not determined.

Although nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy (HCM), the impact of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) burden, in the absence of NSVT, is not well-known.

PVC burden may be associated with myocardial fibrosis and genetic mutations in patients with HCM.

Of the 212 patients prospectively enrolled to the HCM registry of genetics, 84 were evaluated with both cardiac magnetic resonance, 24-hour Holter monitoring and genetic analysis. Among them, 71 patients have not been diagnosed with NSVT.

Patients with NSVT (n = 13) had a higher late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) amount, extracellular volume fraction (ECV), and prevalence of sarcomere mutations compared with patients without NSVT. Among patients without NSVT, those with LGE (n = 46) had a higher total PVC (109 ± 332 vs 7 ± 13, P = .003) and PVC burden (0.114 ± 0.225 vs 0.008 ± 0.014%, P = .003) during 24-hour Holter monitoring compared with others. The %LGE and global ECV were correlated with PVC burden (r = 0.377, P = .001; r = 0.401, P = .001). The optimal cutoff value for PVC number for LGE was 45 (37.0% and 100% sensitivity and specificity, respectively) with 0.733 of the area under the receiver operating characteristic-curve (P < .001). Thick filament gene mutation was more prevalent in the higher PVC burden group (41.2% vs 16.7%, P = .048).

Total PVC burden is significantly related to increase in myocardial fibrosis in HCM patients without NSVT.

Pemphigus is caused by autoantibodies against desmoglein (Dsg) 1, Dsg3, and/or non-Dsg antigens. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is the most common manifestation of pemphigus, with painful erosions on mucous membranes. In most cases, blistering also occurs on the skin, leading to areas of extensive denudation. Despite improvements in pemphigus treatment, time to achieve remission is long, severe adverse events are frequent and 20% of patients do not respond adequately. Current clinical developments focus exclusively on modulating B cell function or autoantibody half-life. However, topical modulation of PV autoantibody-induced blistering is an attractive target because it could promptly relieve symptoms.

To address this issue, we performed an unbiased screening in a complex biological system using 141 low MW inhibitors from a chemical library. Specifically, we evaluated PV IgG-induced Dsg3 internalization in HaCaT keratinocytes. Validation of the 20 identified compounds was performed using keratinocyte fragmentation assays, as well as a human skin organ culture (HSOC) model.

Overall, this approach led to the identification of four molecules involved in PV IgG-induced skin pathology MEK1, TrkA, PI3Kα, and VEGFR2.

This unbiased screening revealed novel mechanisms by which PV autoantibodies induce blistering in keratinocytes and identified new treatment targets for this severe and potentially life-threatening skin disease.

This unbiased screening revealed novel mechanisms by which PV autoantibodies induce blistering in keratinocytes and identified new treatment targets for this severe and potentially life-threatening skin disease.Recent progress in understanding the pathological changes in the nervous system and in certain other body systems (e.g., immune system) that lead to the development and progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) revealed a number of molecular and cellular processes that can potentially be used as therapeutic targets. Many of these processes are compromised not only in ALS but also in other diseases and a repertoire of drugs able to restore, at least partially, their functionality has been developed. In this review, we briefly describe current approaches to the repurposing of such "old" drugs for treatment of patients with ALS.

To evaluate the effectiveness of triptorelin for the treatment of adenomyosis, the benign invasion of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, as a fertility-preserving alternative to the gold standard hysterectomy.

In this multicenter, open-label, observational study in Russia, performed from November 3, 2011, to August 24, 2015, we assessed the efficacy and safety of triptorelin 3.75mg administered intramuscularly every 28days in Russian women who were gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment-naïve, aged 25-40years, and had a diagnosis of endometriosis or adenomyosis with heavy menstrual bleeding. We performed a medical record review, interviews to assess symptom severity, and pelvic assessments including transvaginal ultrasound. Data were obtained at first injection of triptorelin (visit 1), on the day of last injection (visit 2), 6months after last injection (visit 3), and 9months after last injection (visit 4). Significance was assessed by Wilcoxon signed rank test.

A total of 465 women were included. There was a significant improvement from baseline in severity of heavy menstrual bleeding in 390/463 (84.2%) of women 6months after last injection (P<0.0001). Severity of dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, and pelvic pain was decreased at visit 3 compared with baseline (P<0.0001). Endometriosis symptoms stopped in 253/262 (96.6%) of women at visit 2 and in 243/263 (92.4%) of women at visit 3. Pregnancy was reported in 116/465 (24.9%) women within 9months following the end of treatment.

Triptorelin has a favorable safety profile, is highly efficacious in treating clinical symptoms of adenomyosis, and improves reproductive function. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number A-38-52014-191, registered October 2011.
