Using tumor-bearing animals we found that the 68Ga-NOTA-c(NGR), 68Ga-NODAGA-c(NGR), and 68Ga-NODAGA-c(NGR) (MG1) derivatives showed higher uptake in He/De and Ne/De tumors, than that of the accumulation of 68Ga-NODAGA-c(NGR) (MG2). APN/CD13 is a very promising target in PET imaging, however, the selection of the appropriate 68Ga-labelled NGR-based radiopharmaceutical is critical for the precise detection of tumor neo-angiogenesis and for monitoring the efficacy of anticancer therapy.Analyzing disease-disease relationships plays an important role for understanding disease mechanisms and finding alternative uses for a drug. Selleckchem BP-1-102 A disease is usually the result of abnormal state of multiple molecular process. Since biological networks can model the interplay of multiple molecular processes, network-based methods have been proposed to uncover the disease-disease relationships recently. Given a disease and a network, the disease could be represented as a subnetwork constructed by the disease genes involved in the given network, named disease subnetwork. Because it is difficult to learn the feature representation of disease subnetworks, most existing methods are unsupervised ones without using labeled information. To fill this gap, we propose a novel method named SubNet2vec to learn the feature vectors of diseases from their corresponding subnetwork in the biological network. By utilizing the feature representation of disease subnetwork, we can analyze disease-disease relationships in a supervised fashion. The evaluation results show that the proposed framework outperforms some state-of-the-art approaches in a large margin on disease-disease/disease-drug association prediction.

To conduct a meta-analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI) studies in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and in adults with ADHD to assess spatial convergence of findings from available studies.

Based on a preregistered protocol in PROSPERO (CRD42019119553), a large set of databases were searched up to April 9, 2019, with no language or article type restrictions. Study authors were systematically contacted for additional unpublished information/data. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging studies using seed-based connectivity (SBC) or any other method (non-SBC) reporting whole-brain results of group comparisons between participants with ADHD and typically developing controls were eligible. Voxelwise meta-analysis via activation likelihood estimation with cluster-level familywise error (voxel-level p< .001; cluster-level p< .05) was used.

Thirty studies (18 SBC and 12 non-SBC), comprising 1,978 participants (1,0in other psychiatric conditions, the present results should inform the conduct and publication of future neuroimaging studies of psychiatric disorders.Most cancer cells preferentially metabolize glucose by glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation to proliferate efficiently. LncRNAs have been proposed as crucial regulators in pathophysiological processes including cell growth, apoptosis and glucose metabolism. However, little is known regarding the specific role of LINC00346 in regulating glucose metabolism in breast cancer. LINC00346 and miR-148a/b expression in breast cancer cells was detected by qRT-PCR. The relationships between LINC00346, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and miR-148a/b in breast cancer cells were explored by luciferase reporter assay. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated by CCK-8 and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Glycolysis was detected by measuring the glucose uptake and lactate production. Results showed that LINC00346 was over-expressed while miR-148a/b was low-expressed in breast cancer cells. miR-148a/b were direct targets of LINC00346 in breast cancer cells. LINC00346 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation and glycolysis, and induced apoptosis by upregulating miR-148a/b in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, we found that LINC00346 knockdown repressed GLUT1 expression in breast cancer cells by upregulating miR-148a/b. In conclusion, LINC00346 knockdown suppressed breast cancer cell glycolysis by upregulating miR-148a/b and repressing GLUT1 expression.

It is important for dermatologists and other physicians in refugee-receiving countries to acquire knowledge of forensic dermatology to identify lesions from torture.

Review forensic dermatology in cases of torture.

In providing medical assessment and care to refugees and migrants, chronic skin lesions will be the most readily identifiable signs of torture. Beatings are very common, with blunt force trauma resulting in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Torture burns can be thermal, chemical or electrothermal, causing distinct lesions determined by the method, duration and intensity of exposure, and area of skin affected. Sharp instruments inflict a wide range of lesions arising from stabbing/perforation or cuts from knives. Wound healing without medical attention and in unsanitary conditions will affect the scarring process. Lesions from suspension and ligatures may occur alongside scars from other forms of torture. Differential diagnoses include self-inflicted wounds, ethnic scarification and scars from traditional healing practices.

Physicians who may encounter survivors of torture in community or specialist practice would benefit from basic training in forensic dermatology, whilst knowledge of common forms of torture and cultural practices in refugees' countries of origin is important when considering differential diagnoses of skin lesions.

Real-life data on long-term effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in atopic dermatitis patients are limited.

To study 52-week effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in a prospective multicenter cohort of adult patients with treatment-refractory atopic dermatitis.

Patients treated with dupilumab and participating in the Dutch BioDay registry were included. Clinical effectiveness and safety were evaluated.

Two hundred ten atopic dermatitis patients were included. Mean percentage change in Eczema Area and Severity Index score after 16weeks was -70.0% (standard deviation 33.2%) and further decreased to -76.6% (standard deviation 30.6%) by week 52. A greater than or equal to 75% improvement in the score was achieved by 59.9% of individuals by week 16 and by 70.3% by week 52. The most reported adverse effect was conjunctivitis (34%). Limited patients (17; 8.1%) discontinued dupilumab treatment.

Because of the lack of a control group and observational design, factors of bias may have been induced.

Treatment with dupilumab resulted in a rapid improvement in clinical outcome measures, and effectiveness further improved during the 52-week follow-up period.
