2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) with strong contagion in the crowd, has ravaged worldwide and severely impacts the human health and epidemic prevention system, by producing a series of significant stress reactions in the body to induce further cytokine storm. Transcription factors (TFs) served as essential DNA binding proteins play an integral role in regulating cytokine storm, and the detection of it in the human coronavirus environment provides especially valuable approaches to diagnosis and treatment of 2019-nCoV and development of antiviral drugs. NVPTAE684 In this work, an entropy-driven electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was constructed for ultra-sensitive bioassay of NF-κB p50. The strategy primarily capitalizing the splendid double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding properties of transcription factors, employing GOAu-Ru composite material as ECL emitter, utilizing entropy-driven reactions for signal amplification method, offered a repeatable proposal for TFs detection. In the absence of TFs, the released DNA1 further went in the entropy-driven reaction, contributing to an "ECL off" state. However, in the presence of TFs, the dsDNA avoided being digested, which blocked DNA1 for participating in the entropy-driven reaction, and the system exhibited an "ECL on" state. Most importantly, the ECL bioanalytical method denoted broad application prospects for NF-κB p50 detection with a lower detection limit (9.1 pM).

Currently available data on the prescription practice among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) reflect the outpatient setting. This is the first study to provide information on time trends of psychotropic drug utilization in psychiatric inpatients.

Data stems from German-speaking psychiatric hospitals collected by the program "Drug Safety in Psychiatry" (Arzneimittelsicherheit in der Psychiatrie, AMSP) between 2001 and 2017. 44,418 psychiatric inpatients with MDD were included. Time trends in drug utilization were analyzed by comparing the first (2001-2003) and last time point (2015-2017) using risk ratios (RR).

Antidepressant drugs (ADD) were the most used psychotropic drug class with utilization decreasing slightly from 2001-2003 (89.7%) to 2015-2017 (85.5%). Use of tricyclic ADDs showed the greatest decline (RR 0.35), while use of selective serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (RR 1.72) and "other ADDs" increased the most. Use of antipsychotic drugs (APD), especially second-generation antipsychotic drugs (RR 1.46), increased. Use of tranquilizing (RR 0.71) and hypnotic drugs (RR 0.43) both decreased. Most patients were treated with more than one psychotropic drug, most often ADD+APD, which was utilized more often in 2015-2017 (51.1%) than in 2001-2003 (45.1%; RR 1.13). Combination of two ADDs increased from 2001-2003 (24.5%) to 2015-2017 (33.0%; RR 1.35).

The cross-sectional design does not allow conclusions to be drawn about causal relationship of findings. Further, only certain clinical and sociodemographic data was available.

Treatment of MDD has shown significant changes from 2001 to 2017.

Residual insomnia is associated with a risk of depression recurrence.

In this retrospective, longitudinal cohort study, the recurrence pattern of depression in patients with or without residual insomnia was assessed using a health insurance claims database. Patients who were diagnosed with major depressive disorder and prescribed antidepressants, between January 2006 and June 2017 in Japan, were enrolled in the study. Residual insomnia was defined by a prescription of hypnotics, and recurrence of depression by prescription of antidepressants. Main outcomes included time to recurrence and the 1-year recurrence rate. Factors associated with recurrence of depression were assessed by multivariate analyses. The effect of residual insomnia on the frequency of recurrence was assessed by Chi-square test.

Of the 30,381 patients analyzed, there were 4,166 and 26,215 patients with or without residual insomnia, respectively. Time to recurrence in patients with residual insomnia was significantly shorter compared with those without residual insomnia (p <0.001), with a 1-year recurrence rate (95% CI) of 43.4% (41.9-45.0) and 7.4% (7.1-7.7), respectively. The frequency of recurrence was significantly higher in patients with residual insomnia than in those without (p <0.0001). A higher risk of depression recurrence (odds ratio 9.98, 95% CI 9.22-10.81) was found for residual insomnia compared with other significant factors.

The diagnosis stated in the receipt data may not accurately reflect the patient's condition, and medication adherence was unknown but assumed.

The objective of this work was to discuss the mechanisms of TICA formation of the dACA and to elucidate the best treatment and revascularization strategies in these patients based on two illustrative cases. Case 1 20-year-old patient with a traumatic, partially thrombosed 14 × 10 mm aneurysm of the right pericallosal artery (rPericA), distal to the origin of the right callosomarginal artery (rCMA). Complete trapping of the right dissection A3 aneurysm and flow replacement extra-to-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass (STA - radial artery - A4) was performed. Case 2 16-year-old patient with a traumatic polylobulated, partially thrombosed 16 × 10 mm aneurysm of the rPericA. Microsurgical excision of the A3- segment harboring the aneurysm and flow replacement intra-to-intracranial (IC-IC) bypass via reimplantation of the right remaining PericA on the contralateral PericA (end-to-side anastomosis) was performed (in situ bypass). TICA of the dACA are exceptionally rare. Mechanical vessel wall injury and aneurysm formation of the dACA in blunt head trauma is very likely due to the proximity of the dACA with the rigid free edge of the falx. Given their nature as dissecting (complex) aneurysm, trapping and revascularization is a very important strategy. The interhemispheric cistern offers multiple revascularization options with its numerous donor vessels. The IC-IC bypass is often the simplest revascularization construct.
