Unprecedented community containment measures were taken following the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in Italy. The aim of the study was to explore the self-reported future compliance of citizens with such measures and its relationship with potentially impactful psychological variables.. An online survey was completed by 931 people (18-76 years) distributed across the Italian territory. In addition to demographics, five dimensions were measured: self-reported compliance with containment measures over time (today, at 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, and 180 days from now) at three hypothetical risk levels (10, 50, 90% of likelihood of contracting the COVID-19), perceived risk, generalized anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, and relevance of several psychological needs whose satisfaction is currently precluded.. The duration of containment measures plays a crucial role in tackling the spread of the disease as people will be less compliant over time. Psychological needs of citizens impacting on the compliance should be taken into account when planning an easing of the lockdown, along with interventions for protecting vulnerable groups from mental distress.. La apendicitis aguda (AA) es la urgencia quirúrgica abdominal más frecuente. No encontramos estudios específicos que evalúen el impacto de la pandemia causada por el coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) sobre la AA y su tratamiento quirúrgico. Analizamos la influencia de esta nueva patología sobre la AA.. Estudio observacional retrospectivo en pacientes intervenidos por AA desde enero hasta abril de 2020. Fueron clasificados según el momento de la apendicectomía, antes de la declaración del estado de alarma (Pre-COVID19) y después de la declaración del estado de alarma (Post-COVID19) en España. Se evaluaron variables demográficas, duración de la sintomatología, tipo de apendicitis, tiempo quirúrgico, estancia hospitalaria y complicaciones postoperatorias.. La pandemia por SARS-Cov-2 influye en el momento de diagnóstico de la apendicitis, así como en su grado de evolución y estancia hospitalaria. La peritonitis fue lo más frecuentemente observado. Una sospecha y orientación clínica más temprana, es necesaria para evitar un manejo inadecuado de este trastorno quirúrgico común.. The primary outcome is improvement in PaO. Findings will provide timely information on the safety, efficacy, and optimal dosing of t-PA to treat moderate/severe COVID-19-induced ARDS, which can be rapidly adapted to a phase III trial (NCT04357730; FDA IND 149634).. None.. The gut barrier is crucial in cirrhosis in preventing infection-causing bacteria that normally live in the gut from accessing the liver and other organs via the bloodstream. Herein, we characterised gut inflammation by measuring different markers in stool samples from patients at different stages of cirrhosis and comparing this to healthy people. These markers, when compared with equivalent markers usually measured in blood, were found to be very different in pattern and absolute levels, suggesting that there is significant gut inflammation in cirrhosis related to different immune system pathways to that seen outside of the gut. This provides new insights into gut-specific immune disturbances that predispose to complications of cirrhosis, and emphasises that a better understanding of the gut-liver axis is necessary to develop better targeted therapies.. La surveillance de l’intervalle QT a suscité beaucoup d’intérêt durant la pandémie de la COVID-19 en raison de l’utilisation de médicaments prolongeant l’intervalle QT et les préoccupations quant à la transmission virale par les électrocardiogrammes (ECG) en série. Nous avons posé l’hypothèse que la surveillance en continu de l’intervalle QT par télémétrie était associée à une meilleure détection des épisodes de prolongation de l’intervalle QT.. Nous avons introduit la télémétrie cardiaque en continu (TCC) à l’aide d’un algorithme de surveillance automatisée de l’intervalle QT dans nos unités de COVID-19. Les mesures automatisées quotidiennes de l’intervalle QT corrigé (auto-QTc) en fonction de la fréquence cardiaque maximale ont été enregistrées. Nous avons comparé la proportion des épisodes de prolongation marquée de l’intervalle QTc (QTc long), définie par un intervalle QTc ≥ 500 ms, chez les patients montrant une suspicion de COVID-19 ou ayant la COVID-19 qui avaient été admis avant et après la mise en place de la TCC (groupe témoin. La surveillance en continu de l’intervalle QT est supérieure à la norme de soins dans la détection des épisodes de QTc long et exige peu d’ECG. La réponse clinique aux épisodes de QTc long est sous-optimale.. Exposure to a model wildfire air pollution source modifies cardiovascular responses to HC challenge, suggesting air pollution sensitizes the body to systemic triggers.. Though the majority of HIV-infected adults who were on HAART had shown viral suppression, the rate of suppression was sub-optimal according to the UNAIDS 90-90-90 target to help end the AIDS pandemic by 2020. Nonetheless, the rate of immunological recovery in the study cohort was low. Hence, early initiation of HAART should be strengthened to achieve good virological suppression and immunological recovery.. Dust in Egyptian laying hen houses contains high concentrations of microorganisms and endotoxins, which might impair the health of birds and farmers when inhaled. Furthermore, laying hens in Egypt seem to be a reservoir for ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Thus, farmers are at risk of exposure to ESBL-producing bacteria, and colonized hens might transmit these bacteria into the food chain.. The lack of significant differences in the absolute changes and relative ratios of injury and repair biomarkers by contrast-associated AKI status suggests that the majority of mild contrast-associated AKI cases may be driven by hemodynamic changes at the kidney.. Most comparisons for different outcomes are based on very few studies, mostly low-powered, with an overall low CoE. Thus, the available evidence is considered insufficient to either support or refute CH effectiveness or to recommend one ICM over another. Therefore, further well-designed, larger RCTs are required.. PROSPERO database Identifier: CRD42016041953.. Untouched root canal at cross-section perimeter, the Hero 642 system showed 41.44% ± 5.62% and Reciproc R40 58.67% ± 12.39% without contact with instruments. Regarding the untouched area, Hero 642 system showed 22.78% ± 6.42% and Reciproc R40 34.35% ± 8.52%. Neither instrument achieved complete cross-sectional root canal debridement. Hero 642 system rotary taper 0.02 instruments achieved significant greater wall contact perimeter and area compared to reciprocate the Reciproc R40 taper 0.06 instrument.. Hero 642 achieved higher wall contact perimeter and area but, regardless of instrument size and taper, vital pulp during.

In this in vitro premature infant lung model, HF oscillation of BCPAP was associated with improved CO. Our results showed that HPC significantly promotes neurogenesis after MCAO and ameliorates neuronal injury.. Inflammatory markers are highly related to signs of systemic hypoperfusion in CS. Moreover, high PCT and IL-6 levels are associated with poor prognosis.. These findings indicate that Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit has a protective potential against stroke through modulation of redox and electrolyte imbalances, and attenuation of neurotransmitter dysregulation and other neurochemical dysfunctions. Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit could be a promising source for the discovery of bioactives for stroke therapy.

Resveratrol supplementation reduces pain experience by postmenopausal women.
Pain is a common complaint among postmenopausal women. It has been postulated that vascular dysfunction caused by estrogen decline at menopause plays a key role in the initiation and progression of degradative joint disease, namely age-related osteoarthritis. We evaluated whether supplementation with resveratrol, a phytoestrogen, could improve aspects of well-being such as chronic pain that is commonly experienced by postmenopausal women.. A 14-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention with trans-resveratrol (75 mg, twice daily) was conducted in 80 healthy postmenopausal women. Aspects of well-being, including pain, menopausal symptoms, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, mood states, and quality of life were assessed by Short form-36 at baseline and at the end of treatment. Rating scales were averaged to provide a composite score representing overall well-being. Cerebral vasodilator responsiveness to hypercapnia was also assessed as a surrogate marker for cerebrovascular function.. Compared with placebo treatment, there was a significant reduction in pain and an improvement in total well-being after resveratrol supplementation. Both benefits, including measures of quality of life, correlated with improvements in cerebrovascular function.. Our preliminary findings indicate potential for resveratrol treatment to reduce chronic pain in age-related osteoarthritis. Resveratrol consumption may also boost perceptions of well-being in postmenopausal women. Further investigation to elucidate underlying mechanisms is warranted.

Glycitin Suppresses Cartilage Destruction of Osteoarthritis in Mice.
Osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic joint disease, is characterized by cartilage surface erosion, subchondral bone rebuilding, and formation of osteophytes. To date, the nosogenesis and underlying mechanisms of OA have not yet been elucidated. However, it is widely accepted that TNF-α is a crucial cytokine in the development of OA. Glycitin, a natural isoflavone extracted from legumes, affects physiological reactions and pathological responses. Recently, the anti-inflammatory effect of glycitin has been reported. However, the function of glycitin in cartilage degeneration in OA remains to be investigated. In the current study, primary murine chondrocytes were isolated and stimulated by TNF-α to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects and protective function of glycitin in chondrocytes. In vivo, the ACLT mouse model, a frequently-used OA model, was used to further examine the therapeutic role of glycitin in cartilage degeneration and inflammation in OA. Consequently, glycitin functions were examined both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the underlying mechanism of action of glycitin was investigated and was found to involve the NF-κB signaling pathway. Collectively, this study suggests that glycitin can be potentially used for the treatment of joint degenerative diseases, including OA.

Formononetin Antagonizes the Interleukin-1β-Induced Catabolic Effects Through Suppressing Inflammation in Primary Rat Chondrocytes.
In the present study, we demonstrated the anti-catabolic effects of formononetin, a phytoestrogen derived from herbal plants, against interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced severe catabolic effects in primary rat chondrocytes and articular cartilage. Formononetin did not affect the viability of primary rat chondrocytes in both short- (24 h) and long-term (21 days) treatment periods. Furthermore, formononetin effectively antagonized the IL-1β-induced catabolic effects including the decrease in proteoglycan content, suppression of pericellular matrix formation, and loss of proteoglycan through the decreased expression of cartilage-degrading enzymes like matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, MMP-1, and MMP-3 in primary rat chondrocytes. Moreover, catabolic oxidative stress mediators like nitric oxide, inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and prostaglandin E Topics: Animals; Cartilage, Articular; Cells, Cultured; Chondrocytes; Drug Antagonism; Inflammation; Interleukin-1beta; Isoflavones; Metabolism; Osteoarthritis; Phytoestrogens; Rats | 2019 |
Coumestrol Counteracts Interleukin-1β-Induced Catabolic Effects by Suppressing Inflammation in Primary Rat Chondrocytes.
In the present study, we investigated the anti-catabolic effects of coumestrol, a phytoestrogen derived from herbal plants, against interleukin-1β-induced cartilage degeneration in primary rat chondrocytes and articular cartilage. Coumestrol did not affect the viability of human normal oral keratinocytes and primary rat chondrocytes treated for 24 h and 21 days, respectively. Although coumestrol did not significantly increase the proteoglycan contents in long-term culture, it abolished the interleukin-1β-induced loss of proteoglycans in primary rat chondrocytes and knee articular cartilage. Furthermore, coumestrol suppressed the expression of matrix-degrading enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinase-13, -3, and -1 in primary rat chondrocytes stimulated with interleukin-1β. Moreover, the expression of catabolic factors such as nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, prostaglandin E Topics: Animals; Cells, Cultured; Chondrocytes; Coumestrol; Humans; Inflammation; Interleukin-1beta; Matrix Metalloproteinases; Metabolism; Osteoarthritis; Phytoestrogens; Rats | 2017 |
Biological Effects of the Herbal Plant-Derived Phytoestrogen Bavachin in Primary Rat Chondrocytes.
The aim of this study was to examine the anabolic and anticatabolic functions of bavachin in primary rat chondrocytes. With bavachin treatment, chondrocytes survived for 21 d without cell proliferation, and the proteoglycan content and extracellular matrix increased. Short-term monolayer culture of chondrocytes showed that gene induction of both aggrecan and collagen type II, major extracellular matrix components, was significantly upregulated by bavachin. The expression and activities of cartilage-degrading enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinases and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs were inhibited significantly by bavachin, while tissue inhibitors of metalloprotease were significantly upregulated. Bavachin inhibits the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, a representative catabolic factor, and downregulated the expression of nitric oxide, cyclooxygenase-2, and prostaglandin E2 in a dose-dependent manner in chondrocytes. Our results suggest that the bavachin has anabolic and potent anticatabolic biological effects on chondrocytes, which may have considerable promise in treating articular cartilage degeneration in the future.

Biphasic positive effect of formononetin on metabolic activity of human normal and osteoarthritic subchondral osteoblasts.
Osteoarthritis is a multifactorial disease characterized by loss of articular cartilage and subchondral plate thickening. Therefore, biochemical analysis of the underlying bone tissue has provided important information for treatment of osteoarthritis. In this study, we determined the potential role of formononetin, a phytoestrogen isolated from Astragalus membranaceus to alter the expression of metabolic markers and cytokine production of human normal osteoblasts (Obs) and osteoarthritis subchondral osteoblasts (OA Obs). Human OA Obs and normal Obs were cultured for 3days, 7days or 14days in the present medium only or were treated with various doses of formononetin. Cells were analyzed for viability by WST-8 assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteogenic markers (osteocalcin (OCN) and type I collagen (Col I)) and cytokines (interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2)). The level of IL-6, VEGF, BMP-2, OCN and Col I was increased in OA Obs compared with normal Obs. Formononetin dose-dependently decreased ALP, IL-6, VEGF, BMP-2, OCN and Col I in OA Obs, while markedly increased ALP, VEGF, BMP-2, OCN and Col I in normal Obs. Interestingly, formononetin markedly increased the expression of VEGF and BMP-2 for 3days of culture and significantly increased OCN and Col I at 14days in human normal Obs. The remodeling effect of formononetin on osteogenic markers and cytokines of inflammatory mediators was more striking in OA Obs as well. Taken together, these results could suggest that formononetin has biphasic positive effects on normal Obs and OA Obs by modifying their biological synthetic capacities.
