However, the reason for the death of dopaminergic neurons remains unclear. An increase in α-synuclein (α-syn) expression is an important factor in the pathogenesis of PD. In the current study, we investigated the association between serine/arginine-rich protein-specific kinase 3 (Srpk3) and PD in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model and in SH-SY5Y cells treated with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+). Srpk3 expression was significantly downregulated, while tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression decreased and α-syn expression increased after 4 weeks of MPTP treatment. Dopaminergic cell reduction and α-syn expression increase were demonstrated by Srpk3 expression inhibition by siRNA in SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, a decrease in Srpk3 expression upon siRNA treatment promoted dopaminergic cell reduction and α-syn expression increase in SH-SY5Y cells treated with MPP+ . These results suggested that Srpk3 expression decrease due to Srpk3 siRNA caused both TH level decrease and α-syn expression increase. This raises new possibilities for studying how Srpk3 controls dopaminergic cells and α-syn expression, which may be related to PD pathogenesis. Our results provide an avenue for understanding the role of Srpk3 in dopaminergic cell loss and α-syn upregulation in SN. Furthermore, this study supports a therapeutic possibility for PD in that the maintenance of Srpk3 expression inhibits dopaminergic cell reduction.

Ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd) have proven efficacy and an excellent safety profile in relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, there are limited reports on the real-world safety and effectiveness of IRd regimens in Asian patients with RRMM.

This was a retrospective study of 60 patients with RRMM who were treated with IRd.

The median patient age was 68years. Forty percent of patients did not meet the eligibility criteria for the TOURMALINE-MM1 trial. Patients received a median of one prior line of therapy. Non-hematologic adverse events (AEs) were more common than hematologic AEs. The most common AE was skin rash, followed by gastrointestinal toxicities. Most grade 3 or higher AEs were observed in less than 5% of the patients, except for skin rashes and infections. IRd therapy did not aggravate peripheral neuropathy (PN) in 20 of the 24 patients with pre-existing peripheral neuropathy. The overall response rate was 85%. After a median follow-up of 26.3months, the median progression-free survival was 25.9months and overall survival was not reached.

Ixazomib and Rd combination therapy had a comparable toxicity profile and effectiveness in real-world RRMM patients.

Both protein catabolism in the lumen and the metabolism of the GIT tissues produce ammonia which, in part, enters the portal blood through the anterior region of the GIT. The present study examined the possible roles of different GIT sections of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in transporting ammonia in its unionized gas form-NH3 -by changing the PNH3 gradient across GIT epithelia using in vitro gut sac preparations. We also surveyed messenger RNA expression patterns of three of the identified Rh proteins (Rhbg, Rhcg1, and Rhcg2) as potential NH3 transporters and NKCC as a potential ammonium ion (NH4 + ) transporter along the GIT of rainbow trout. We found that ammonia absorption is not dependent on the PNH3 gradient despite expression of Rhbg and Rhcg2 in the intestinal tissues, and Rhcg2 in the stomach. We detected no expression of Rhbg in the stomach and no expression of Rhcg1 in any GIT tissues. There was also a lack of correlation between ammonia transport and [NH4 + ] gradient despite NKCC expression in all GIT tissues. Regardless of PNH3 gradients, the stomach showed the greatest absorption and net tissue consumption of ammonia. Overall, our findings suggest nitrogen metabolism zonation of GIT, with stomach serving as an important site for the absorption, handling and transport of ammonia that is independent of the PNH3 gradient.

We used 68Ga PSMA PET/CT in the current investigation to assess the metabolic response and local control of metastasis in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer receiving SBRT.

We performed a retrospective evaluation of the medical data of all patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer who underwent stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) between 2017 and 2021. Our analysis only included medical records of patients who had SBRT for oligometastatic prostate cancer and had pre and post-SBRT 68Ga PSMA PET/CT images. Patient-related (age), disease-related (Gleason score, location of metastases), and treatment-related (factors and outcomes) data were collected from the medical files.

A total of 17 patients (28 lesions) with a median age of 69years were included in the research. A median follow-up of 16.6months was used (range 6-36months). The median follow-up period for 68Ga PSMA PET/CT was 8months (the range was 5-24months). The median pre-treatment PSA level was 1.7ng/mL (range 0.39-18.3ng/mL) compared to the post-treatment PSA nadir of 0.05ng/mL (0.02-4.57). During the follow-up period, local control was 96%, and there was a link between PSMA avidity on PET. In the treated lesions, there were no recurrences. During follow-up, none of the patients experienced toxicities of grade 3 or above.

SBRT is a highly successful and safe way of treating patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer. Additional research is needed to examine 68Ga PSMA PET/CT to assess further for demarcation and follow-up.

Salidroside is a phenolic natural product, which is a kind of Rhodiola rosea. It has been confirmed that it has inhibitory effects on chronic myeloid leukemia, but the specific performance of its molecular effects is still unclear.

To systematically study the pharmacological mechanism of salidroside on chronic myeloid leukemia by means of network pharmacology.

First,the possible target genes of salidroside were predictedthrough the Traditional Chinese Medicine PharmacologyDatabase and Analysis Platform, the target gene names were converted into standardized gene names using the Uniprot website.Atthesame time, the related target genes of chronic myeloid leukemia were collected from GeneCards and DisGenet; Collect summarydataandscreen forcommonly targetedgenes. Then, the above-mentioned intersected genes were imported into the String website to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and the Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathwa of action of salidroside against chronic myeloid leukemia, verified by network pharmacology combined with molecular docking. However, salidroside is a promising drug for the prevention and treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia, and further research is needed to prove it.Also in 2021/2022, considerable efforts were invested into advancing human sports drug testing programs, recognizing and taking into account existing as well as emerging challenges in anti-doping, especially with regard to substances and methods of doping specified in the World Anti-Doping Agency's 2022 Prohibited List. In this edition of the annual banned-substance review, literature on recent developments published between October 2021 and September 2022 is summarized and discussed. Focus is put particularly on enhanced analytical approaches and complementary testing options in human doping controls, appreciating the exigence and mission in anti-doping and, equally, the contemporary "new normal" considering, for example, the athlete's exposome versus analytical sensitivity and applicable anti-doping regulations for result interpretation and management.Hard carbon (HC) is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries, yet still suffers from low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Herein, sodium diphenyl ketone (Na-DK) is applied to realize dual-function presodiation for HC anodes. It compensates the irreversible Na uptake at the oxygen-containing functional groups and reacts with carbon defects of five/seven-membered rings for quasi-metallic sodium in HC. The as-formed sodium induces robust NaF-rich SEI on HC in 1.0 M NaPF6 in diglyme, favoring the interfacial reaction kinetics and stable Na+ insertion and extraction. This renders the presodiated HC (pHC) with high ICE of ≈100 % and capacity retention of 82.4 % after 6800 cycles. It is demonstrated to couple with Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 cathodes in full cells to show high capacity retention of ≈100 % after 700 cycles. This work provides in-depth understanding of chemical presodiation and a new strategy for highly stable sodium-ion batteries.This study aimed to investigate the incidence and prognosis of postoperative complications after laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for gastric cancer (GC). We retrospectively enrolled 411 patients who underwent curative LTG for GC at seven institutions between January 2004 and December 2018. The patients were divided into two groups, complication group (CG) and non-complication group (non-CG), depending on the presence of serious postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III [≥ CD IIIa] or higher complications). Short-term outcomes and prognoses were compared between two groups. Serious postoperative complications occurred in 65 (15.8%) patients. No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the median operative time, intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph nodes harvested, or pathological stage; however, the 5-year overall survival (OS; CG 66.4% vs. non-CG 76.8%; p = 0.001), disease-specific survival (DSS; CG 70.1% vs. non-CG 76.2%; p = 0.011), and disease-free survival (CG 70.9% vs. non-CG 80.9%; p = 0.001) were significantly different. The Cox multivariate analysis identified the serious postoperative complications as independent risk factors for 5-year OS (HR 2.143, 95% CI 1.165-3.944, p = 0.014) and DSS (HR 2.467, 95% CI 1.223-4.975, p = 0.011). A significant difference was detected in the median days until postoperative recurrence (CG 223 days vs. non-CG 469 days; p = 0.017) between the two groups. Serious postoperative complications after LTG negatively affected the GC prognosis. Efforts to decrease incidences of serious complications should be made that may help in better prognosis in patients with GC after LTG.
