These findings revealed a comprehensive signature of drug metabolism differences for the Whites, Blacks and Asians, and it may provide some evidence for making individualized treatment strategies.We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of multidomain intervention (MI) tailored to the Korean context. In an outcome assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial, participants without dementia and with one or more modifiable dementia risk factors, aged 60-79 years, were randomly assigned to the facility-based MI (FMI; n=51), the home-based MI (HMI; n=51), or the control group receiving general health advice (n=50). The 24-week intervention comprised vascular risk management, cognitive training, social activity, physical exercise, nutrition guidance, and motivational enhancement. The FMI participants performed all intervention programs at a facility three times a week. The HMI participants performed some programs at a facility once every 1-2 weeks and performed others at home. The primary outcome was feasibility measured through retention, adherence, and at least no differences from the control group in the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). In the FMI and HMI groups, the retention rates were 88.2% and 96.1%, and adherence to the intervention was 94.5% and 96.8%, respectively. The RBANS total scale index score improved significantly in the FMI (5.46 ± 7.50, P = 0.004) and HMI (5.50 ± 8.14, P = 0.004) groups compared to the control group (-0.74 ± 11.51). The FMI and HMI are feasible and there are indicators of efficacy.Multiple studies have revealed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) served as regulatory factors in modulating tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the present study, we demonstrated that lncRNA HCP5 was overexpressed in HCC tissues and cell lines, and these findings were obvious even in metastatic and recurrent cases. Knockdown of HCP5 significantly alleviated cell growth, metastasis, and invasion both in vitro and in vivo through promoting apoptosis and by inactivating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progress. Moreover, miR-29b-3p has been identified as a negatively regulatory target gene of HCP5, and served as a tumor suppressor of HCC to prevent cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Subsequently, DNMT3A was identified as a downstream regulatory factor of miR-29b-3p, and acted as a participated element of HCC progression by activating AKT phosphorylation. Taken together, our study elucidated for the first time that HCP5 plays a crucial role in HCC via the HCP5/miR-29b-3p/DNMT3A/AKT axis and our findings demonstrated a novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategy with potentiality to treat HCC.Drug shops are the first point of care for most community members in low-resource countries. Because of symptomatic similarities with common illnesses such as malaria, probable coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases may seek care at drug shops, where the knowledge and skills required to handle it may be lacking, thereby fostering community spread of the disease. CDK phosphorylation This single-arm study provided an intervention to improve COVID-19-related knowledge, attitude, and practices of patent medicine vendors (PMVs) in 97 participating drug shops selected through cluster sampling in Owerri, southeastern Nigeria. The intervention involved a drug shop sensitization using information, education, and communication material, as well as training on the use of a risk assessment checklist to identify probable COVID-19 cases and to take appropriate action. Data were collected to determine the effect of this intervention using a pre-tested questionnaire and practice observation checklist, first at baseline and then 3 months post-intervention. Data analysis involved exploratory analysis and the t-test to determine pre- and post-intervention mean score differences at the 5% α level. There was post-intervention knowledge improvement on the COVID-19 causative pathogen (98.1% post-intervention versus 61.9% pre-intervention) and disease transmissibility from person to person (95.9% post-intervention versus 81.4% pre-intervention) among other knowledge domains. There was significant post-intervention improvement for positive attitude, with a mean gain score of 2.8 ± 1.7 (t = 4.4, P = 0.005), and preventive practices, with a mean gain score of 6.0 ± 4.7 (t = 4.1, P = 0.007). Engaging patent medicine vendors in the pandemic response plans through targeted interventions such as drug shop intervention could prove vital in the fight against COVID-19.Összefoglaló. A sérült BRCA1/2 gént hordozó prosztatadaganatok klinikai szempontból elkülönülő, agresszív altípust képviselnek. Ugyanakkor a BRCA1/2 gén sérülése a DNS-támadáspontú kemoterápiákkal szemben érzékennyé teszi a daganatot, ami terápiás szempontból kihasználható. A platinaalapú kemoterápia hatékonysága prosztatarákban klinikai vizsgálatokkal nincs alátámasztva, ezért annak alkalmazására igen ritkán kerül sor. Közleményünkben egy előrehaladott stádiumú, agresszív prosztata adenocarcinomával diagnosztizált beteg esetét mutatjuk be, akinél a BRCA2-gén patogén mutációját találtuk, és akinél az előzőleg alkalmazott androgénmegvonásos, valamint docetaxelkezelések sikertelensége miatt karboplatinkezelést alkalmaztunk - ez a beteg állapotának, valamint radiológiai és biokémiai paramétereinek látványos javulásához vezetett. Ez az eset rámutat a DNS-hiba-javító mechanizmusban szerepet játszó gének terápiás szempontból történő felhasználásának potenciális előnyeire prosztatarákban. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(25) 1004-1008. Summary. BRCA1/2 deficient prostate cancers represent a clinically distinct aggressive subtype. However, the presence of BRCA1/2 alterations enhance the sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapies. The efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapies in prostate cancer has not been proven in prospective clinical studies and therefore these treatments are rarely used in prostate adenocarcinomas. Here we present a case of BRCA2 mutant prostate cancer, which was diagnosed at a metastatic stage and showed no or only little response to androgen deprivation and docetaxel therapies. Therefore, we started carboplatin chemotherapy which resulted in an exceptional response regarding biochemical, radiographic parameters accompanied by significant improvement of patients' physical condition. This case underlines the potential therapeutic benefits of testing for genes involved in the DNA repair mechanism. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(25) 1004-1008.
