Cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL) is one of the most fatal malignancies worldwide. PBRM1 is a tumor suppressor gene in diverse cancers. It regulates cell cycle, genomic stability, centromeric cohesion, and apoptosis. However, its relevance to remodel tumor cell immune response of PBRM1 in CHOL remains unclear.

PBRM1 mutation and expression of CHOL patients were analyzed by the TCGA database using R packages and cBioPortal site. The correlation between PBRM1 and tumor cell immune infiltrates among CHOL patients was investigated by TIMER2.0. Correlation analysis between PBRM1 and gene markers of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in CHOL was analyzed by GEPIA. Pathway enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction network of PBRM1 mutation and expression was investigated using STRING and Cytoscape.

Among CHOL patients, PBRM1 has a high mutation probability and significant differential expression. Mutations and differential expression of PBRM1 both have a significant effect on the infiltration of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) in CHOL patients. PBRM1 was highly correlated with MMP2 and FAK, which were reported as key regulators of CAF. Through protein-protein interaction network with hub gene analysis, we discovered that NCAM1 could play key roles in the potential mechanism of how PBRM1 affects immune infiltration and progress of CHOL.

PBRM1 may play an important role in immune cell infiltration, matrix formation, and tumor invasion of CHOL, by regulating the function and infiltrating of tumor stromal cells including cancer-associated fibroblasts through NCAM1. Therefore, PBRM1 might be a new therapeutic target in CHOL.

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorder, which follows a chronic course. #link# Apremilast is a novel phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, approved by US-FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. A majority of the data related to the effectivity and safety of apremilast use in psoriasis is extracted from clinical trials. The present study was planned to get an insight into real-world experience with the use of apremilast in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis related to its effectiveness and safety in India.

The present study was a retrospective one, wherein a review of the medical records of patients with psoriasis was conducted at one center in Kolkata, who were prescribed apremilast for 16 weeks in a community dermatology practice, from December 2017 to May 2018.

Out of 39 patients, two patients discontinued treatment due to diarrhea. Only three patients were treatment naïve; the rest had taken some form of systemic therapy before apremilast. At the end of 16 weeks of treatment with apremilast, PASI 100 was achieved in one patient (2.7%), PASI 90 in one (2.7%), PASI 75 in 18 patients (48%), while 14 patients (38%) achieved PASI 50. Eighteen (46%) experienced adverse events, diarrhea being the most common (29.7%).

The findings of the present study indicate that apremilast is effective in a real-world setting, as compared with clinical trials in achieving certain endpoints like PASI 75, as was found in other real-world studies in other countries, as well.

Common applications include diagnosing patients, end-to-end drug discovery and development, improving communication between physician and patient, transcribing medical documents, such as prescriptions, and remotely treating patients. While computer systems often execute tasks more efficiently than humans, more recently, state-of-the-art computer algorithms have achieved accuracies which are at par with human experts in the field of medical sciences. Some speculate that it is only a matter of time before humans are completely replaced in certain roles within the medical sciences. The motivation of this article is to discuss the ways in which artificial intelligence is changing the landscape of medical science and to separate hype from reality.

Vitiligo is a common depigmenting disorder with a prevalence of 0.5-2%. Despite the increasing popularity of bibliometric studies in recent years, medical literature lacks a report investigating bibliometric features of vitiligo literature.

It was aimed to analyze vitiligo literature by evaluating productivity of countries, institutions, and authors, and performing assessment of publication trends, bibliometric networks, and correlations.

We collected all data in this study by searching databases provided by Web of Science. All documents published on vitiligo literature between 1975 and 2017 were included. We performed correlation analyses between productivity and demographical and economical features of the countries publishing vitiligo articles.

A total of 7187 documents were detected and 72.2% of which was original article. The peak year for publication number by year was 2016 with 528 articles and the highest number of citations was reported in 2017. The USA was the leading country by total publication number (24.82%) followed by the United Kingdom (UK), India, China, and Italy (10.91%, 8.64%, 7.54%, and 6.87% respectively). Estonia was found to be the most productive country of vitiligo literature (13.01) followed by Netherlands, the UK, and Switzerland (12.64, 11.78, and 9.25, respectively). We found a high correlation between GDP per capita and the productivity of the countries (

< 0.001).

As revealed in our study, although vitiligo occurs worldwide, developed countries dominated vitiligo literature. Researchers from developing and least-developed countries should be encouraged and supported to perform novel vitiligo studies.

In this study, we assessed the associations between 47 susceptible SNPs from previous GWASs of NSCL/P and cleft alveolar in Western Han Chinese population. We recruited 228 trios of NSCL/P with cleft alveolar (156 males and 72 females). The 47 SNPs were genotyped by SNPscan method; Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test, TDT and parent-of-origin effects were analyzed by PLINK; linkage disequilibrium analysis was conducted by Haploview software. TDT analysis revealed FOXE1 rs894673 (P = 0.0071, ORtransmission = 0.35, 95% CI 0.16-0.78) and rs3758249 (P = 0.0071, ORtransmission = 0.35, 95% CI 0.16-0.78) were associated with NSCL/P accompanied cleft alveolar bone. Parent-of-origin effect analysis revealed a paternal special under-transmission of allele A at rs894673 (P = 0.039), allele T at rs3759249 (P = 0.039), and allele T at rs4460498 (P = 0.039) of FOXE1. Allele A at rs987525 showed a significant paternal over-transmission (P = 0.0077). link2 Pairwise LD analysis showed strong LD among rs894673, rs3759249 and rs4460498 (r2 > 0.95, D' = 1). To conclude, our findings indicated that FOXE1 is the susceptible gene for cleft alveolar accompanied by NSCL/P.

In this research, the analytical method of network pharmacology was used to explore Qixuekang molecular mechanism in treating Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) during the recovery period.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database was used to collect the active components and corresponding targets of Qixuekang. Disease targets, related to COVID-19 during the recovery period, were collected from the GeneCards database. Protein-Protein interaction (PPI) network was built by using the String database, and analyzing and using Cytoscape 3.7.0 software to screen out hub genes. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were analyzed by R 3.6.1 software.

34 active components of Qixuekang were screened out, and 161 common targets of drug and disease were identified. GO enrichment suggested 141 biologic processes, mainly involving nuclear receptor activity, transcription factor activity, and direct ligand regulated sequence-specific DNA binding. KEGG pathway enrichment suggests 96 signaling pathways, mainly including TNF signaling pathway, IL-17 signal pathway, and C-type lectin receptor signal pathway. The hub genes, screened in the PPI network, were mainly inclusive of CXCL8, CXCL2, CXCL10, ADRA2A, and ADRA2C.

Qixuekang has numerous components and targets in treating COVID-19 during the recovery period. It is mainly applied in anti-inflammatory action and regulating immune defense, which may guide clinical trials in the later stage.

A total of 115 elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery in our hospital were collected as study subjects. Among them, 65 patients treated by epidural block anesthesia combined with general anesthesia were designated group A and 50 cases with general anesthesia were designated group B. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score, Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), adrenaline, cortisol, visual analogue scale (VAS) and incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups were compared, and the risk factors affecting postoperative cognitive ability of elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery were analyzed. The preoperative MMSE score, MoCA score, adrenaline, and cortisol levels were not significantly different between both groups. link3 The postoperative MMSE score and MoCA score in group A were significantly higher than those of group B, while adrenaline and cortisol were significantly lower than those of group B. The postoperative VAS score was significantly lower than that of group B. There was no remarkable difference in the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the two groups. Age, hypertensive history, operation time, years of education, and anesthesia methods are risk factors that affect the postoperative cognitive ability of elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Epidural block anesthesia combined with general anesthesia can improve their postoperative cognitive ability and dramatically reduce stress response and pain during surgery.

To investigate the magnitude and distribution of the main causes of death, disability, and risk factors in Haiti.

We conducted an ecological analysis, using data estimated from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 for the period 1990-2017, to present life expectancy (LE), healthy life expectancy (HALE) at under 1-year-old, cause-specific deaths, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), disability adjusted life-years (DALYs), and risk factors associated with DALYs.

LE and HALE increased substantially in Haiti. People may hope to live longer in 2017, but in poor health. The Caribbean countries had significantly lower YLLs rates than Haiti for ischemic heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, and diarrheal diseases. Road injuries were the leading cause of DALYs for people aged 5-14 years. Road injuries and HIV/AIDS were the leading causes of DALYs for men and women aged 15-49 years, respectively. Ischemic heart disease was the main cause of DALYs for people older than 50 years.
