A deep analysis of T cells with the CD4+CD25+CD127low/-CD26low/-CD45RAimmunophenotype revealed high expression of FoxP3 and/or CD39, while cells with the naïve immunophenotype, CD4+CD25+CD127low/-CD26low/-CD45RA+, presented lower expression of suppressor markers. Antigen CD31 is considered to be a valuable membrane marker of thymus-derived Tregs.

The presented 9-color panel that can be easily applied in laboratories enables reliable enumeration of Tregs with additional information about the functionality, maturity and origin of T regulatory cells.

The relationship between exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) indicators and acute training loads (TL) is yet to be reviewed extensively in semi-elite and elite athlete populations.

The objectives of this systematic review and meta-analysis were threefold (1) to evaluate studies of EIMD following the initial period of the preseason in semi-elite and elite athletes (2) to examine acute physiological and performance responses across two periods of the season with similar TL; and (3) to examine acute physiological and performance responses to acute changes in TL during the season.

The CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for studies that investigated (1) semi-elite or elite athletes in team or individual sports following a periodised training programme; and (2) measured acute responses to training. selleck products Studies were excluded if (1) conducted in animals; (2) non-English language; or (3) a conference abstract, review or case report.

To document baseline cervical sagittal characteristics in Lenke 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients and assess the alteration in these parameters with surgery.

Pre-operative and 2-year postoperative radiographs of 82 Lenke 1 AIS patients recruited from five hospitals were analysed. Selected radiographic parameters capturing regional and global sagittal alignment were measured. Comparison was made between groups based on baseline thoracic kyphosis (TK TK < 20°, TK ≥ 20°). Pre-operative and postoperative values were compared-the change in each radiographic parameter was correlated with the degree of sagittal and coronal correction.

At baseline, TK was 29.8° ± 16°, cervical lordosis (CL) was -1° ± 14°, lumbar lordosis (LL) was -57.1° ± 21°, C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) was 16 ± 14mm and C7-S1 SVA was -15 ± 28mm; 44% of patients had cervical kyphosis. Patients with thoracic hypokyphosis had a significantly lower LL and more kyphotic cervical spine compared to those with thoracic normohyperkyphosis. The effect of surgery on TK depended on pre-operative thoracic sagittal alignment-TK increased in patients with thoracic hypokyphosis, but decreased in patients with thoracic normohyperkyphosis. Neither CL nor C2-C7 SVA changed significantly with surgery; 46% of patients still had cervical kyphosis postoperatively.

There is a high incidence of cervical kyphosis at baseline in AIS patients-more so in those with pre-operative thoracic hypokyphosis. Unlike TK, CL is not significantly altered with surgery-improvement in CL correlates weakly with sagittal correction of the structural curve.

Based on Wingerchuk et al. (Neurology 85177-189, 2015) criteria for NMOSD and on those more recently proposed by Jarius et al. (J Neuroinflammation 15134, 2018) for MOGAD (MOG associated disorders), we retrospectively surveyed 10 AQP4-NMOSD, 8 MOGAD and 2 seronegative NMOSD, followed at the specialized neuroimmunology unit of the CHU Liège. Female predominance was only observed in AQP4 group. Age at onset was 37.8 and 27.7 years old for AQP4-NMOSD and MOGAD, respectively. In both groups, the first clinical event most often consisted of optic neuritis (ON), followed by isolated myelitis. Fifteen of our 20 patients encountered a relapsing course with 90% relapses in AQP4-NMOSD, 62.5% in MOGAD and 50% in the seronegative group, and a mean period between the first and second clinical event of 7.1 and 4.8 months for AQP4-NMOSD and MOGAD, respectively. In total, we counted 54 ON, with more ON per patient in MOGAD. MOG-associated ON mainly affected the anterior part of the optic nerve with a papilledema in 79.2% of cases. Despite a fairly good visual outcome after MOG-associated ON, retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness decreased, suggesting a fragility of the optic nerve toward further attacks. As observed in larger cohorts, our MOGAD and AQP4-NMOSD cases differ by clinical and prognostic features. A better understanding of these diseases should encourage prompt biological screening and hasten proper diagnosis and treatment.Cure after surgery for normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NHPT) is defined as parathyroid hormone (PTH) normalization. However, an increase of PTH is frequently observed in cured patients with hypercalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (HHPT). Therefore, this criterion must be redefined. A single-center retrospective study was performed including all patients who underwent surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism from 2013 to 2019. Cure rates of different types of hyperparathyroidism were analyzed. PTH reduction was studied as a possible criterion to define cure in patients with NHPT. One-hundred and eighty-six patients were included 173 with HHPT and 13 with NHPT. After a mean follow-up of 33.4 months, 174 (93.6%) patients were considered cured. Cure was more frequent in the group of patients with HHPT (97.1% vs. 46.2%, p  less then  0.001). In the multivariate analysis, surgical failure was associated with NHPT and multiglandular disease. Forty-nine (30.1%) cured patients with HHPT had an increased PTH during the follow-up. When decline of PTH levels was studied in patients with HHPT to define cure, the area under curve was 0.92. A cut-off value of 40% in PTH reduction achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 83.4% and 80.0%. If cure was defined as a 40% reduction of PTH, cure rate in the group of patients with NHPT would increase to 69.2%. Patients with NHPT had a lower cure rate than patients with HHPT. A significant number of cured patients with HHPT had an increased PTH during follow-up. A 40% reduction in PTH levels is proposed as an alternative definition for cure in patients with NHPT.
Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease that affects many tissues. Its prognosis depends predominantly on kidney involvement. Cystinosis has three clinical forms nephropathic infantile, nephropathic juvenile and non-nephropathic adult. Proximal tubular dysfunction is prominent in the infantile form, whereas a combination of glomerular and tubular alterations are observed in the juvenile form.

Thirty-six children with nephropathic cystinosis were included in the study. Clinical features, molecular genetic diagnoses, and kidney outcomes of the patients were evaluated.

Twenty-one children (58.3%) were male. The median age at diagnosis was 18.5months. Twenty-eight patients (77.8%) had infantile nephropathic cystinosis, while eight (22.2%) had juvenile nephropathic cystinosis. An acute rapid deterioration of the kidney function with proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and nephrotic syndrome, was observed in 37.5% of patients with the juvenile form. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 82.31 ±roteinuria at the time of diagnosis is a relevant prognostic factor for kidney survival.The International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use M9 Guidelines for Biopharmaceutics Classification System Biowaivers reached harmonization in November 2019. However, guidelines for bioequivalence studies are not internationally harmonized, and water as a dissolution medium is only required in Japanese guidelines, regardless of drug solubility. This study investigated the dissolution profiles of generic products in Japan that differ from those of original drugs in dissolution media defined in guidelines. Dissolution profiles disclosed on websites of generic manufacturers were investigated for 262 active ingredients listed in the bluebook (4638 oral solid products listed in the National Health Insurance drug price list) issued by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. 5% of all generic products were different from the original products in dissolution media, of which 20% was observed in water only. Among the active pharmaceutical ingredients that showed different dissolution profiles only in water, the ratio of original products that showed slower dissolution profiles to the generics was 73%. The ratio of products showing different dissolution in water only was higher than in other media investigated in this study; however, these do not reflect disintegration and dissolution of drug products in the gastrointestinal tract, since bioequivalence has been confirmed in human studies and the generic products were approved by Japanese authorities. Therefore, a discussion about the required use of water as a dissolution medium in the Japanese guidelines is needed among industry, academia, and regulatory authorities.
As clinical trial protocol designs become more complex and eligible patient populations narrow, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit participants and retain them for the duration of the trial. This study surveyed clinical trial participants to learn about the prevalence and impact of new technologies and other supportive solutions designed to improve patient engagement and retention. Patient perceptions of these convenience-enhancing solutions and how they have changed since our last study in 2017 were examined.

Based on 12,451 responses to a global online survey collected in 2019, we conducted an analysis of respondents who used convenience-enhancing solutions during their participation in a clinical trial.

We found that the prevalence of convenience-enhancing solutions is increasing and that their use correlates with high ratings for clinical trial satisfaction, as well as with high ratings for care and attention received during the trial.

A wide range of strategies and tactics are needed to reduce barriers to participation and improve retention.
