The relative abundance of functional groups of chemoheterotrophy, aerobic chemoheterotrophy, as well as that connected to N cycles also increased, which implied the improvement of the pollution removal efficiency. Meanwhile, the copy number of α-amylase and endoglucanase increased significantly in Column 1 with the addition of B. subtilis, which offers further support for a hydrolase-induced reduction of polysaccharides and the efficiency of B. subtilis on bio-clogging alleviation. The results showed that B. subtilis addition is an effective and safe solution to control the bio-clogging for CWs. However, further research about long-term effect assessment and dosing strategy optimization should be conducted.This study was undertaken to assess the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), mainly liraglutide and exenatide, on glycemic control and anthropometric profiles to see if they are effective in treating patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and Cochrane Library databases to identify all the randomized clinical trials (RCTs) up to August 23, 2020. Heterogeneity of the included studies was evaluated using Cochrane's Q test and the I2 statistic. Moreover, a random-effects model was used to pool the weighted mean differences (WMDs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Nine articles (12 studies) comprising a total of 780 participants aged 40-56 were finally selected. Pixantrone nmr GLP-1RAs intake significantly reduced body mass index (BMI) (WMD -1.57, 95%CI; -2.74, -0.39), waist-circumference (WC) (WMD -4.14, 95%CI; -7.09, -1.19), body weight (WMD -4.20, 95%CI; -8.15, -0.25) among the body mass indices. Additionally, GLP-1RAs leads to lower postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) levels (WMD -25.73 mg/dl, 95%CI; -32.71, -18.75). We also found that GLP-1RAs intake has no significant effect on the waist-hip ratio (WHR) (WMD -0.01, 95%CI; -0.03, 0.02), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (WMD -2.12 mg/dl, 95%CI; -6.23, 1.96), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (WMD -0.08%, 95%CI; -0.21, 0.04), and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels (WMD -0.31, 95%CI; -0.69, 0.07). GLP-1RAs therapy showed a greater reduction in BMI, body weight, WC, and PPG, but not in WHR, HOMA-IR, FBG, and HbA1c compared with other therapies in patients with T2DM and NAFLD.Pancreatic cancer is a high degree malignant tumor which makes its diagnosis and treatment highly critical. The effect of conventional chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer is quite poor due to the low accumulation of the chemotherapeutic drugs at the tumor site. Therefore, enhancing the targeting efficiency and accumulation of the drug carrier at tumor site with subsequent release of drug within the effective time period is one of the key factors for successful targeted chemotherapy of pancreatic cancer. Our previous studies have demonstrated that aptamer can be a valid targeting moiety to guide the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) to accumulate at the tumor tissue. Herein, the present study aims to further investigate the targeting efficiency as well as therapeutic efficacy of the drug delivery system comprised of aptamer-modified polymeric nano drug carrier encapsulated with DOX (DOX@PCL-b-PEO-Aptamer micelles). The in vitro cytotoxicity studies and laser confocal microscopy indicated that DOX@PCL-b-PEO-Aptamer micelles exhibited enhanced targeting and cytotoxic efficacy towards human pancreatic cancer cells (Panc-1 cells) as compared to free DOX and DOX-loaded PCL-b-PEO-NH2 micelles (DOX@PCL-b-PEO-NH2 micelles). Furthermore, the aptamer-decorated drug delivery system exhibited better tumor penetration into the three-dimensional (3D) spheroid of Panc-1 cells with successful release of DOX as compared to the drug delivery system without aptamer modification. Overall, this study suggests that the aptamer-modified polymeric micelles could be effectively employed for the targeted delivery of anticancer drug to treat pancreatic cancer in near future.During development, a single cell is transformed into a highly complex organism through progressive cell division, specification and rearrangement. An important prerequisite for the emergence of patterns within the developing organism is to establish asymmetries at various scales, ranging from individual cells to the entire embryo, eventually giving rise to the different body structures. This becomes especially apparent during gastrulation, when the earliest major lineage restriction events lead to the formation of the different germ layers. Traditionally, the unfolding of the developmental program from symmetry breaking to germ layer formation has been studied by dissecting the contributions of different signaling pathways and cellular rearrangements in the in vivo context of intact embryos. Recent efforts, using the intrinsic capacity of embryonic stem cells to self-assemble and generate embryo-like structures de novo, have opened new avenues for understanding the many ways by which an embryo can be built and the influence of extrinsic factors therein. Here, we discuss and compare divergent and conserved strategies leading to germ layer formation in embryos as compared to in vitro systems, their upstream molecular cascades and the role of extrinsic factors in this process.

Resection of lung cancer infiltrating the aortic arch and/or the subclavian artery can be accomplished in selected patient under CardioPulmonary Bypass (CPB). Direct cross-clamping of the aortic arch and the left subclavian artery without CPB for radical resection of the tumor can be an alternative. Hereby, we present our experience with this technique.

Between October 2016 and May 2019, 9 patients (5 males, 4 females) underwent radical resection of lung cancer infiltrating the aortic arch (n=5) or the left subclavian artery (n=4) by direct cross-clamping technique. Seven left upper lobectomies, 1 left pneumonectomy and 1 left upper sleeve lobectomy were performed. Reconstruction of the aortic arch was performed by direct suturing or dacron patch, while the subclavian artery was reconstructed with a dacron conduit. Three patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Patients' mean age was 64.7±13.3 years (range 36-78). Aortic arch resection was partial in all cases (adventitial in 1 and full-thickness in 4); left subclavian artery resection was adventitial in 2 patients and circumferential in 2.
