GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that DEGs were closely related with different steps in the immune response. Top 10 hub genes included GBP2, HLA-F, IFIT2, RSAD2, ISG15, IFIT1, IFIT3, MX1, XAF1 and IFI6. Immune filtration analysis from CIBERSORT had found that compared with NC, DLE samples had higher percentages of CD8+ T cells, T cells CD4 memory activated, T cells gamma delta, macrophages M1 and lower percentages of T cells regulatory, macrophages M2, dendritic cells resting, mast cells resting, mast cells activated.

This bioinformatic study selected key biomarkers from the contrast between DLE and NC skin samples and is the first research to analyze immune cell filtration in DLE.

This study aimed to examine the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment, and prognostic factors in 12 cases of malignant transformation of mature cystic teratoma of the ovary (MCTO).

We performed a retrospective study of 12 patients with malignant transformation of MCTO who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2003 to 2019. We examined case records, clinical parameters, and biological assessments.

The median age of the patients was 56.5 years and seven of them were postmenopausal. The average tumor size was 18.5 cm. All patients had pelvic masses at their first hospital visit. Nine of the patients had discomfort in the lower abdomen, two presented with a lower abdominal palpable mass, and three were complicated by fever. The median follow-up time was 73 months (12‒193 months). Ten patients survived with a disease-free status and two died.

There is a low incidence of malignant transformation of MCTO, and its most common histological type is squamous cell carcinoma. Age and tumor size are important factors in malignant transformation of teratomas. While there is a lack of treatment guidelines for malignant transformation of MCTO, early diagnosis and treatment may be beneficial for these patients.

In patients treated for refractory cardiogenic shock (RCS) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), predicting successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has important implications for decision-making and prognosis.

We performed a retrospective review of adult VA ECMO patients with RCS complicating AMI at our institution from 2010 to 2019. We evaluated use of peak troponin I as a predictor of successful decannulation.

Sixty-two patients were analyzed; mean age 61.1 ± 9.8 years, 73% males, 62% presented with STEMI. Forty-five patients were successfully weaned (group I). Seventeen patients did not wean (group II); seven patients received a durable LVAD, 10 died. Patients from group I had significantly lower peak troponin I (89 vs 434 ng/mL,

 = 0.0001). Receiver operating characteristic curves showed a peak troponin I cutoff of 400 ng/mL correctly classified patients by weaning status 90% of the time, with associated sensitivity of 71% and specificity of 98%. With each 50 ng/mL increase in troponin I, the likelihood of weaning decreased by 33%.

Peak troponin I above 400 ng/mL may be helpful in predicting unsuccessful weaning from VA ECMO support for refractory cardiogenic shock following myocardial infarction and facilitate triage decisions regarding need for advanced therapies.

It is important that compliance with the principles of GLP continues to be maintained. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic lockdowns in various countries, including India, have been sudden and over an extended duration. Although every GLP laboratory has Standard Operating Procedure for disaster management, the sudden lockdown due to COVID-19 created specific emergency procedures related to this situation such as travel bans, safe distancing, and work from home notifications. Good Laboratory Practice compliances in the context of animal experimentation during and post lockdown period need effective managerial responses that are not just flexible and innovative but can ensure they are well-calibrated to the challenges of business continuity and maintenance of health directives. On-the-ground realities suggest there may still be practical challenges to compliance, and guidelines may not always be complied with. This article discusses the issues that may be encountered due to COVID-19 that could potentially impact the GLP status of a study and suggests ways to manage them so as to minimize or prevent infection with COVID-19. We propose an MMM (Man, Material, and Medium) strategy to ensure compliance with health directives and guidelines that will help staff to keep themselves and others safe in the workplace while endeavoring to comply with GLP requirements.

Nano drug delivery systems can provide the opportunity to reduce side effects and improve the therapeutic aspect of a variety of drugs. Bortezomib (BTZ) is a proteasome inhibitor approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. Tabersonine Severe side effects of BTZ are the major dose-limiting factor. Particulate drug delivery systems for BTZ are polymeric and lipidic drug delivery systems. This review focussed on lipidic-nano drug delivery systems (LNDDSs) for the delivery of BTZ.

LNDDSs including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems showed reduce systemic side effects, improved therapeutic efficacy, and increased intestinal absorption. Besides LNDDSs were used to target-delivery of BTZ to cancer.

Overall, LNDDSs can be considered as a novel delivery system for BTZ to resolve the treatment-associated restrictions.
