A better understanding of how multicomponent school-based interventions work and their effects on health and education outcomes are needed. This paper described the methods of the Movimente Program, a school-based intervention that aims to increase physical activity (PA) and decrease sedentary behavior (SB) among Brazilian students.
This is a cluster randomized controlled trial with adolescents from 7th to 9th grade in public schools from Florianopolis, Southern Brazil. After agreement, 6 schools were randomly selected to intervention or control groups (3 schools each), and all eligible students were invited to the study. The Movimente intervention program was performed during a school year and included 3 main components Teacher training (including face-to-face meeting, social media platform, and handbook with lesson plans); improvements in the PA environment in school; and educational strategies. Control schools continued with their traditional schedule. Baseline (March/April 2017), postintervention (Novntry.
By creating opportunities for adolescents to be active at school using multicomponent strategies, the Movimente program has the potential to enhance students health and academic performance which may encourage the school community (e.g., teachers, principals) to adopt the program. Also, this trial will provide evidence for practitioners, policy makers, and researchers on how multicomponent program may be implemented in a school setting.

Filling materials for partial defect of the breast have rarely been developed because of safety and durability.
Two female patients (ages, 53 and 50 years) with breast cancer underwent partial mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Core needle biopsy revealed an invasive ductal carcinoma in both patients. find more Breast ultrasound showed hypoechoic nodules with irregular margins. Breast magnetic resonance imaging showed an irregularly shaped enhancing mass with duct extension in Patient 1 and irregularly shaped multifocal, enhancing masses with non-mass enhancement in Patient 2.
A combination method using acellular dermal matrix and oxidized regenerated cellulose was used for partial breast reconstruction. The safety and cosmetic outcomes were evaluated for both patients.
There were no significant complications, and the breast shape and volume were well maintained, even 2 years after surgery. There was no postoperative tumor recurrence.
The combination of acellular dermal matrix and oxidized regenerated cellulose for partial breast reconstruction can be a good option based on oncological safety and cosmetic outcome.

Within a rapidly expanding therapeutic armamentarium, the combination of everolimus (Eve) plus exemestane (Exe) utility needs to be reinstated in hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
We herein report on a patient affected by HR+ HER2- MBC treated with radical surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, who relapsed early on adjuvant tamoxifen, progressed rapidly on first line anastrozole, and failed treatment with third line capecitabine.
Metastatic luminal breast cancer progressed under standard endocrine therapy and chemotherapy.
Third line with Eve plus Exe was given after chemotherapy.
Patient experienced a 5-year progression free interval.
Eve plus Exe remains a valid option in HR+HER2- MBC.

Procalcitonin (PCT) has been identified as a tumor biomarker in medullary thyroid carcinoma. Other neuroendocrine carcinomas with elevated PCT levels are relatively rare, and are mainly reported in the lung, digestive tract, and pancreas. No studies in the literature have reported a case of primary hepatic carcinoma complicated with unexpectedly elevated PCT levels.
A 78-year-old man with persistent fatigue and mild fever was complicated with an extremely high PCT level. Radiological examination revealed a single hypodense lesion in the left lobe of the liver with a "rapid enhancement and rapid washout" pattern. Pathological analysis showed a poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (grade 3) with multiple genetic mutations.
Primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.
The patient received antibiotic therapy and subsequent transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization; a PCT assessment and computed tomography were performed during the follow-up.
The PCT level did not decline after antibiotic therapy but greatly declined in response to effective transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization. The patient survived and is still being followed up.
An extremely elevated PCT level may raise a suspicion of a neuroendocrine carcinoma and plays an indicative role as a biomarker during therapy.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the pathogenesis and identify novel biomarkers in IA.We processed the raw microRNA (miRNA) expression profile data of IA obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus. Then weighted correlation network analysis was performed to identify the hub miRNAs in IA. Target genes of hub miRNAs were predicted using multiR package. In addition, a protein-protein network as well as miRNA-mRNA network was constructed and functional and pathway enrichment analyses were done. Finally, the prediction value of hub miRNAs in IA was tested in validation set.Two modules that had relation with IA were identified and 10 hub miRNAs in each module with higher gene-module association were selected. The protein-protein network and miRNA-mRNA network contained 243 nodes and 1496 edges. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses showed that they were mainly enriched in cell cycle, cell proliferation, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.
