The prevalence of infection was higher among boys (85.18%).

Superficial fungal infections are prevalent in koranic school children and attention should be given to non-dermatophytic species that could be responsible for SFI.

This study aimed to elucidate the potential effect of Anisodamine (ANI 654-2) on influenza A virus (IAV)-induced ALI, as well as its involved mechanism. HE staining showed ANI 654-2 attenuated lung lesions in ALI treated C57BL/6 mice. The alleviated lung lesion was validated with the increased alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) ratio, decreased lung wet/dry (W/D) weight and reduced protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Flow cytometry analysis showed that ANI 654-2 reversed the increase of neutrophil count and M1 type macrophage number and the decrease of M2 type macrophage number in IAV-induced ALI mice. ELISA of BALF validated that ANI 654-2 decreased TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-18 while increased IL-10. Mechanically, ANI 654-2 decreased the protein expression of TGF-β1, TGF-β R II, TGF-β RI, TAK1, p-AKT/AKT and p-p105/p105, all of which were elevated with IAV. The effects of ANI 654-2 were validated in IAV treated A549 cells. As a result, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were partly reverted with activators of TAK1, AKT or NF-κB. Taken together, this study implicated that ANI 654-2 improved IAV-induced ALI via TAK1, AKT and NF-κB regulated inflammation. The study proposed that ANI 654-2 could be a potential therapy for treatment of ALI caused by virus infection. This article is protected by copyright.

At the same time, when study units are naturally clustered, as patients are in clinics, it may be preferable to sample clusters rather than the study units, especially when the costs associated with travel between clusters are high. In this setting, aggregated data on the outcome and select covariates are sometimes routinely available through, for example, a country's Health Management Information System. If used wisely, this information can be used to guide decisions regarding which clusters to sample, and potentially obtain gains in efficiency over simple random sampling. In this article, we derive a series of formulas for optimal allocation of resources when a single-stage stratified cluster-based outcome-dependent sampling design is to be used and a marginal mean model is specified to answer the question of interest. Specifically, we consider two settings (i) when a particular parameter in the mean model is of primary interest; and, (ii) when multiple parameters are of interest. We investigate the finite population performance of the optimal allocation framework through a comprehensive simulation study. Our results show that there are trade-offs that must be considered at the design stage optimizing for one parameter yields efficiency gains over balanced and simple random sampling, while resulting in losses for the other parameters in the model. Optimizing for all parameters simultaneously yields smaller gains in efficiency, but mitigates the losses for the other parameters in the model.Feroniellin analogs isolated from Feroniella lucida possess a furanocoumarin skeleton connected to monoterpenic five- to seven-membered ethereal rings by an ether linkage and exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities. In this contribution, we intended to establish a "ring-size-divergent" synthetic strategy for the monoterpenic five- to seven-membered ethereal rings through the chemical sythesis of feroniellins. The short and comprehensive synthesis of feroniellins was achieved in only two steps from easily available bergamottin based on the "ring-size-divergent" strategy. In addition, these syntheses resulted in revision of the proposed structures for feroniellins A and B and the determination of all the absolute configurations of feroniellins; their preliminary anti-inflammatory activities were investigated as well.
To evaluate a possible influence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide autoantibodies (ACPA) - positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on visual field (VF) testing in patients with arterial hypertension (aHT).

We conducted an observational cross-sectional study comparing patients with ACPA-positive RA and aHT, patients with aHT and healthy subjects. Further inclusion criteria were visual acuity (VA) of 0.8 or better and age between 40 and 60years. VF testing was performed with standard automated achromatic perimetry (SAP), short wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) (Octopus 300
) and flicker perimetry (Pulsar
). Results were analysed for a possible correlation with blood pressure or RA-activity.

Twenty subjects with RA and aHT, 26 patients with aHT and 22 healthy participants were examined. Significant differences were found for mean sensitivity (MS) in SWAP comparing RA-patients with healthy participants (ΔMS -3.06, p=0.001) and with hypertensive patients (ΔMS -2.32, p=0.007). In SAP we observed a significant difference between patients with RA and healthy subjects regarding loss variance (LV) (ΔLV=+9.77, p=0.004). Flicker perimetry did not demonstrate significant differences between groups. A correlation of VF changes with blood pressure level or RA-activity was not observed.

Patients with ACPA-positive RA and aHT showed significant impairment of VF performance in SWAP compared to patients with aHT alone and healthy subjects. SAP also revealed a significant difference of LV between RA-patients and healthy subjects. SKF96365 aHT does not seem to induce functional changes in VF testing alone.
