35, p=0.004) and between MCBS and price (|ρ|=0.33, p=0.005). Correlations between added benefit and prices were similar or higher for first indications (ASMR, |ρ|=0.37, p=0.030; MCBS, |ρ|=0.48, p=0.004). In first indications, mean monthly prices increased €3954 for drugs without ASMR added benefit. The mean annual price and price increase for first indications offering no ASMR benefit was €57,312 and €47,448, respectively.

Prices and benefit are weakly correlated. However, prices increased substantially even for drugs with no added benefit.

Axitinib plus pembrolizumab showed superior overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) versus sunitinib in a randomised phase III trial in patients with advanced renal-cell carcinoma (RCC). We report long-term efficacy and safety of the axitinib/pembrolizumab from the phase I trial (NCT02133742), after 46-55 months from study initiation (data cut-off date, 23rd July 2019).

Fifty-two treatment-naïve patients with advanced RCC were treated with oral axitinib 5mg twice daily and intravenous pembrolizumab 2mg/kg every 3 weeks. PFS, duration of response (DoR) and OS were summarised using the Kaplan-Meier method.

At a median follow-up of 42.7 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 41.1-44.1), median OS was not reached; 38 (73.1%) patients were alive. The probability of being alive at 4 years was 66.8% (95% CI 49.1-79.5). Median PFS in the overall population was 23.5 months (95% CI 15.4-30.4). ORR was 73.1%; five patients had complete response. Median DoR was 22.1 months (95% CI 15.1-34.5). Grade III/IV adverse events (AEs) were reported in 38 (73.1%) patients and 20 (38.5%) discontinued treatment because of AEs 17 (32.7%) discontinued axitinib, 13 (25.0%) discontinued pembrolizumab, and 10 (19.2%) discontinued both drugs. Common AEs included diarrhoea (84.6%), fatigue (80.8%), hypertension (53.8%), cough (48.1%) and dysphonia (48.1%). There were no new AE terms reported and no treatment-related deaths.

In patients with advanced RCC with ~4 years of follow-up, combination axitinib/pembrolizumab continued to demonstrate clinical benefit, with no new safety signals.

This was obtained by determining the environmental performance of 10 selected recycling technologies with varying TRL levels, using the chemical properties of the top 25 produced polymers in Europe. FK866 solubility dmso The results were collected in a life cycle assessment (LCA) 'matrix' model. To simulate realistic plastic recycling challenges, case studies of PE/PP foils from municipal waste and ABS plastic with brominated flame retardants were developed, to be used as an addition to the LCA matrix model results. Potential emission reduction was assessed by combining LCA matrix outcomes with European polymer demand data. The LCA matrix model illustrates that potential environmental performance of recycling technologies varied strongly per polymer type and did not always follow the state-of-the-art recycling hierarchy. Commodity plastics performed well with tertiary recycling technologies, such as gasification and pyrolysis to monomers; secondary mechanical recycling was outperformed. A focus on primary recycling is environmentally beneficial for most engineering and high performance plastics. To enhance the performance of primary recycling technologies, a higher purity and improved sorting is required. As demonstrated in the case studies, low sorting efficiencies due to impurities reduces positive environmental impacts. Hence, optimal environmental performance of recycling is obtained where pre-treatment (sorting, cleaning) is adapted to the recycling technology. According to the model, recycling the 15 most demanded polymers in Europe reduces CO2 emissions from plastics by 73% or 200 Mtonne CO2 eq.Iris pseudacorus is one of the most widespread iris species and possesses complex secondary metabolites. Our study showed that its rhizomes are abundant with phenolic compounds of which 80 % belong to the tannin group. Methanolic extracts from garden cultured iris rhizomes possessed antibacterial activity against human Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis and Gram negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae pathogens including clinical isolates resistant to commercially available antibiotics. Moreover the extract from rhizome, in concentration 3.125 mg dry weight/mL, containing gallocatechin (1), effectively combats S. aureus biofilm. The same rhizome extract acts against human cancer cell lines, especially against estrogen positive MCF-7 breast cancer cell line (IC50 = 11.75 μg/mL). In vitro culture of excised, anatomical roots of I. pseudacorus excreted three antistaphylococcal compounds into the plant medium, detected by using TLC-overlayer bioautography. By the use of HPLC-DAD-ESIMS system 2 active compounds were identified as 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-6,3'-dimethoxy-isoflavone (7) and unknown dimethoxy-dihydroxy-isoflavone (9). I. pseudacorus as a non-edible plant might be considered to be new, easy accessible, non-wood source of biologically active polyphenolics.

The aim of the present study was to develop a theoretical framework for the relationships between coping, adjustment toward infertility, depression and anxiety and to present a confirmatory analysis of the developed theoretical framework in men who, together with their spouses, were candidates for assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment.

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 212 men selected from the couples who were candidate for ART. Depression and anxiety, adjustment toward infertility, and coping strategies were assessed using self-report questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using the plug-in application PROCESS macro and AMOS software.

The results showed that higher depression and anxiety scores were related to lower adjustment to infertility. Higher adjustment score was associated with lower self-blame, self-focused rumination, active confronting and avoidance coping strategies scores significantly. In the depression and anxiety pathway models, the positive relationship between active confronting and elf-focused rumination coping strategies were mediated by adjustment.
