This may also occur in the hyperinflammatory -cytokine releasing phase- of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, it may be hypothesized that early treatment of COVID-19 patients with pentoxifylline, alone or in combination with oxypurinol, would prevent the potentially lethal acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Pentoxifylline and oxypurinol are licensed drugs used for diseases other than COVID-19 and, therefore, phase I clinical trials would not be necessary for the administration to SARS-CoV-2- infected people. It would be worth investigating their potential effects against the hyperinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases threatening women's health today. In-depth research on breast cancer (BC) pathogenesis and prevention and treatment methods are gradually receiving attention. Chidamide is a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) that depresses the function of histone deacetylase, consequently affecting the growth of BC cells through epigenetic modification. However, preclinical and clinical studies show that chidamide is ineffective in long-term treatment. We demonstrated in previous experiments that TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis in BC cells and is significantly less non-toxic to normal cells than chidamide. Therefore, in this study, we treated BC cells with chidamide and TRAIL to explore a novel option to reduce the clinical toxicity through augmenting the sensitivity for BC cells.

Results from the MTT and cell viability assays indicated that the combination of chidamide and TRAIL in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells induced BC cell deatical effects on cell death induction. These results lay a solid experimental and theoretical basis to solve the clinical resistance of chidamide.The abbreviated Sociopolitical Control Scale for Youth (SPCS-Y) factor structure, used to measure intrapersonal psychological empowerment, was tested among a sample of Hispanic adolescent girls (N = 490). Confirmatory factor analysis and latent class analyses were conducted, and five distinct cluster groups emerged. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to examine conceptually related variables and support the two-factor structure and validity of the scale. Participants with higher levels of intrapersonal psychological empowerment also had high social support, ethnic identity, and lower levels of alcohol and drug use. Findings support the use of the scale on Hispanic adolescent girls and contribute to alcohol and drug use prevention research.

Prior studies have suggested that female sex is predictive of poor outcomes among patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma. The current study aims at elucidating whether this observation applies to both HPV-positive and HPV-negative subsets of the disease.

Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) - HPV specialized database was accessed. Cases with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and known HPV status were reviewed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate factors predicting HPV positive status. The relationship between sex and overall and cancer-specific survival was further evaluated through multivariable Cox regression analysis.

Female sex was associated with less probability of HPV positive status (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.50-0.61; P<0.01). Using multivariable Cox regression analysis and among patients with HPV-negative disease, female patients have worse overall survival (HR 1.24; 95% CI 1.12-1.39; P<0.01) and cancer-specific survival (HR 1.27; 95% CI 1.08-1.50; P<0.01); while among patients with HPV-positive disease, there was no difference between males and females with regards to overall survival (HR 1.05; 95% CI 0.91-1.21; P= 0.45) or cancer-specific survival (HR 1.17; 95% CI 0.95-1.45; P= 0.12).

Among patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma, there is no difference in survival outcomes between women and men; while among patients with HPV-negative oropharyngeal carcinoma, women have worse survival outcomes compared to men.

This study extended previous research by investigating the combined effects of neonatal birth risks, neonatal adverse outcomes, and socioeconomic status on preterm neurodevelopment.

A total of 184 preterm infants were assessed using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development III in a follow-up clinic in southern Brazil. Structural equation modeling was conducted with 3 latent variables (neonatal birth risks, neonatal adverse outcomes, and socioeconomic status) and 3 outcomes (cognitive, language, and motor development).

The analyses showed that neonatal adverse outcomes were associated with infants' cognitive (b = -0.45,

< .001), language (b = -0.23,

= .001), and motor (b = -0.51,

< .001) development. Socioeconomic status also explained the variances (cognitive b = 0.20,

= .006; language b = 0.28,

= .001; and motor b = 0.21,

= .004), whereas neonatal birth risks remained significant only in the motor development (b = 0.15,

= .040).

This study suggests that the most evident contributors to poor neurodevelopment were adverse outcomes and socioeconomic risk factors.

KPT8602 Occupational health nurses must understand issues specific to this population to deliver competent care.Use of chemicals, most often classified for intrinsic hazards, is rather common among dentists. To date, no data have been recorded in the European Union (EU) on dentists' awareness regarding the safe use of chemicals. In the EU regulatory framework, two Regulations with wide applications, namely Regulations (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH) and 1272/2008 (CLP), have been introduced to protect human health and the environment and clearly communicate hazards posed by chemicals to workers and consumers. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of comprehension of hazard communication of chemicals among Greek dentists. For this, a closed-ended, anonymous and validated questionnaire was initially distributed to a total of 300 Greek dentists, both professionals and university students, over a period of 4 months. The collected data from 240 final responders were subjected to statistical analysis (frequencies, percentages, chi-square (χ2) and significance (p less then 0.05)). The vast majority (90%) of the interviewed dentists are not aware of the CLP.
