Recognition associated with Rad51 like a prognostic biomarker associated with immune system infiltration in hepatocellular carcinoma.

In the present study a series of tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their activity towards three ABC transporters, P-gp, MRP1 and BCRP. The compounds proved to be selective against P-gp. One of them, 8b, displayed activity in the nanomolar range (EC50 = 94 nM). TL13-112 Thus, compound 8b was tested for its ability to restore the cytotoxic activity of a well-known anti-cancer agent and P-gp substrate, doxorubicin, as first proof of concept. Moreover, compound 8b was also tested in an in vitro model of competent gastro-intestinal (GI) barrier (Caco-2 cells) for its ability to inhibit P-gp, present on luminal side, and increase the apical-to-basolateral transport of several structurally uncorrelated drugs, belonging to different therapeutic areas but actively excreted by P-gp. Notably the transport of the drugs across the GI barrier was increased by a concentration of 8b devoid of toxicity and of perturbing effects on barrier function. An in vitro simulated digestion process was set up interestingly the effect of 8b on the transport of digoxin was preserved also after the simulated digestion process. This result may suggest 8b as a safe and effective P-gp modulator that can increase the bioavailability of a wide spectrum of drugs administered per os, improving their transport across the GI barrier.Diuretics are the first-line therapy for widespread cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases. Traditional diuretics are commonly prescribed for treatment in patients with hypertension, edema and heart failure, as well as with a number of kidney problems. They are diseases with high mortality, and the number of patients suffering from heart and kidney diseases is increasing year by year. The use of several classes of diuretics currently available for clinical use exhibits an overall favorable risk/benefit balance. However, they are not devoid of side effects. Hence, pharmaceutical researchers have been making efforts to develop new drugs with a better pharmacological profile. High-throughput screening, progress in protein structure analysis and modern methods of chemical modification have opened good possibilities for identification of new promising agents for preclinical and clinical testing. In this review, we provide an overview of the medicinal chemistry approaches toward the development of small molecule compounds showing diuretic activity that have been discovered over the past decade and are interesting drug candidates. TL13-112 We have discussed promising natriuretics/aquaretics/osmotic diuretics from such classes as vasopressin receptor antagonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, urea transporters inhibitors, aquaporin antagonists, adenosine receptor antagonists, natriuretic peptide receptor agonists, ROMK inhibitors, WNK-SPAK inhibitors, and pendrin inhibitors.

Corona virus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread rapidly. Growing evidences that overweight and obesity which extent nearly a third of the world population were associated with severe COVID-19. This study aimed to explore the association and risk of increased BMI and obesity with composite poor outcome in COVID-19 adult patients.

We conducted a systematic literature search from PubMed and Embase database. We included all original research articles in COVID-19 adult patients and obesity based on classification of Body Mass Index (BMI) and composite poor outcome which consist of ICU admission, ARDS, severe COVID-19, use of mechanical ventilation, hospital admission, and mortality.

Sixteen studies were included in meta-analysis with 9 studies presented BMI as continuous outcome and 10 studies presented BMI as dichotomous outcome (cut-off ≥30kg/m

). COVID-19 patients with composite poor outcome had higher BMI with mean difference 1.12 (95% CI, 0.67-1.57, P<0.001). Meanwhile, obesity was associated with composite poor outcome with odds ratio (OR)=1.78 (95% CI, 1.25-2.54, P<0.001) Multivariate meta-regression showed the association between BMI and obesity on composite poor outcome were affected by age, gender, DM type 2, and hypertension.

Obesity is a risk factor of composite poor outcome of COVID-19. On the other hand, COVID-19 patients with composite poor outcome have higher BMI. BMI is an important routine procedure that should always be assessed in the management of COVID-19 patients and special attention should be given to patients with obesity.

In three pre-registered experiments, we show that repetition may also increase perceptions that statements are used as fake news on social media, irrespective of the factual truth or falsehood of the statements (Experiment 1 & 2), but that repetition reduces perceptions of falsehood when the context of judgment is left unspecified (Experiment 3). On a theoretical level, the findings support an ecological account of repetition effects, as opposed to either a fluency-as-positivity or to an amplification account of these effects. On a practical level, they qualify the influence of repetition on the perception of fake news.Combining physical activity and academic content is a promising way to improve health and academic learning in schoolchildren. This paper examined the continuation of physically active lessons (PAL) in five Norwegian elementary schools, two years after a 10-month intervention period, which consisted of weekly minimum 2 x 45 min of PAL. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with nine teachers and five school leaders. The Level of Use instrument was used to assess how the teachers integrated PAL into the school day. Two years after the intervention period, seven of nine teachers conducted PAL regularly, on average one lesson per week. Teachers' implementation progress varied from struggling with logistics, to stable routine and creative adaption. Perceived benefits for the children, active leadership, and ongoing implementation support seem important for continuation. Introduction of PAL as a school development project, systematic planning from the onset and a gradual introduction of PAL, can be an effective strategy for continuation and long-term sustainability.
