Future studies will hopefully reveal whether this is a viable treatment approach for other patients suffering from MH with or without comorbid depression.
Electronic consultations (e-consultations) offer rapid, direct, and documented communication through the electronic medical record (EMR) between primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists. Psychiatric e-consultations are increasingly being implemented across hospital networks with the recommendation for face-to-face psychiatric evaluation periodically being made by the consulted psychiatrist. It remains to be seen what clinical factors lead the consultant to make this type of recommendation and whether the question asked by the PCP and the diagnosis of the patient has any bearing.

A retrospective chart review of an e-consultation service was conducted. 164 charts were reviewed. Data were collected on the psychiatric diagnosis, type of question posed by the PCP to the psychiatrist, the number of recommendations for an in-person evaluation made, and the percentages of the diagnoses and questions that were associated with a recommendation for in- person evaluation.

223 diagnoses were consulted on. The ronically consulted psychiatrist will recommend a face-to-face evaluation. It also suggests that e-consultation services can be particularly serviceable for certain diagnoses, i.e. depression and anxiety, as well as certain question types, i.e. pharmacological management. This information can guide PCPs and psychiatrists about which patients are best suited for an e-consultation versus an in-person referral from the outset.

We sought to develop and evaluate the relative validity of a dietary diversity questionnaire (DDQ) that reflects food-group diversity, food variety, and micronutrient adequacy among New Zealand women.

A cross-sectional study included New Zealand women (Auckland based; ages 16-45 y, n=101), completing a 7-d DDQ and 4-d weighed food record (reference method). The relative validity of the DDQ was evaluated by correlating nutritious and discretionary dietary diversity scores (DDSs; number of food groups) and food-variety scores (number of foods), calculated from both methods. The dietary mean adequacy ratio (MAR; micronutrient intakes relative to estimated average requirements) was calculated from the weighed food record and correlated to dietary diversity and food-variety scores from the DDQ to assess construct validity. Cross-tabulation was used to explore dietary diversity measures versus adequacy ratios. Significance was set at P < 0.05.

The median (interquartile range) DDSs (maximum 25) from the DDQ-23 (21-23)-and the weighed food record-18 (17-19)-were significantly correlated (r
=0.33, P < 0.001), as were the food-variety scores (maximum 237)-respectively, 75 (61-87) and 45 (37-52) (r
=0.22, P < 0.03). A mean (± SD) MAR of 0.94 ± 0.04 suggested a near-adequate diet, but one-third of foods consumed were from discretionary sources. Nutritious DDS was significantly correlated with MAR for micronutrients (r
=0.20, P ≤ 0.05). An inverse trend was observed between discretionary DDS and MAR.

The DDQ is a quick, low-burden tool for describing nutritious and discretionary dietary diversity reflecting micronutrient adequacy in high-income settings. 3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole It requires further validation across different time frames, population groups, and settings.

The dominant mechanism responsible for this shift has not been elucidated. We took a multifaceted approach to evaluating the clinical and immunologic impact of low vitamin D levels in 53 HCT recipients. We used 28-plex flow cytometry for immunophenotyping, serum cytokine levels, T-cell cytokine production and T-cell whole genome transcription. The median day-30 vitamin D level was 20 ng/mL, and deficiency was common in younger patients undergoing myeloablative transplants. Low vitamin D levels were associated with a high CD8/Treg ratio; increased serum levels and T-cell production of proinflammatory cytokines; and a gene expression signature of unrestrained T-cell proliferation and epigenetic modulation through the PRC2/EZH2 complex. Immunophenotyping confirmed a strong association between high levels of vitamin D and an activated EZH2 signature, characterized by overexpression of ID3, which has a role in effector T-cell differentiation. Our findings demonstrate the critical role of vitamin D in modulating T-cell function in human GVHD and identify a previously undescribed interaction with EZH2 and ID3 which may impact effector differentiation and has implications to cell therapies and other forms of cancer immunotherapy.
Factors that determine the relationship between obesity and poor outcomes in asthmatic children are not well understood. Dysanapsis and peripheral airway impairment (PAI) could provide an explanation in the obese asthmatic.

To determine the effect of obesity on increased dysanapsis and PAI and establish the effect of obesity, dysanapsis, and PAI on increased risk of uncontrolled asthma.

We evaluated 206 moderate to severe asthmatics, 4-18 years to determine the relationship of BMI to increased dysanapsis and PAI, using reference values. We examined the probability of obesity, dysanapsis, and PAI increasing the risk of uncontrolled asthma by BMI categorically and BMI z-scores using GLM analyses.

Compared to normal weight, overweight and obesity children increased FVC% predicted and obesity increased odds of dysanapsis 2.32, p=0.040, while PAI showed an age dependent effect, with increased odds for <12 years of 2.09, p=0.08, for >12 years 54.14, p=0.003. For each unit increase in BMI z-score, there was an increased OR for dysanapsis of 1.57, p=0.009; for PAI, <12 years of 1.39, p=0.042 and >12 years of 4.60, p=0.002. Obesity's relationship to uncontrolled asthma was indirect, as not significant when adjusted for the direct effect of dysanapsis and PAI, which were highly significant predictors, with increased odds for dysanapsis <12 years of 28.01, p=<0.001 and for PAI 3.09, p=0.005.

Overweight and obesity significantly increase odds of dysanapsis and PAI, in an age specific manner, increasing the probability of uncontrolled asthma.

There are no head-to-head studies for patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) comparing any of the 5 Food and Drug Administration-approved respiratory biologic therapies.

Explore outcomes in subjects with AERD using biologic therapies in a real-world clinic setting.

A retrospective pilot study was conducted for subjects with AERD who had been prescribed omalizumab (anti-IgE), mepolizumab (anti-IL-5), reslizumab (anti-IL-5), benralizumab (anti-IL-5 receptor alpha [anti-IL-5Rα]), or dupilumab (anti-IL-4 receptor alpha [anti-IL-4Rα]). Clinical outcomes pre- versus postinitiation of biologic therapy were explored including symptoms, 22-item sino-nasal outcome test scores, systemic corticosteroid and antibiotic prescriptions, and emergency room visits related to AERD.

Of the 74 subjects, 58.1% (n= 43) had used 1 biologic, though many (41.9%, n= 31) trialed more than 1 biologic. Of the 50 subjects who had used anti-IL-4Rα therapy, 98% (49 of 50) still had this therapy prescribed at studerapies. Prospective studies would help clarify best practices for the use of biologic therapies in AERD.
Transglutaminase 3 (TGM3) regulates multiple oncogene pathways (GSK-3β/β-catenin pathway, Akt/ERK pathway, etc.) to promote hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell proliferation, migration and invasion, however, its clinical value for HCC management is still limited. Therefore, we conducted this study to compare the TGM3 expression between tumor tissue and paired adjacent noncancerous tissue, aiming to explore the clinical application of TGM3 in HCC patients.

Totally, 208 HCC patients were enrolled and their clinicopathological features were collected. Then, 208 pairs of HCC specimens and adjacent noncancerous specimens were used to detect TGM3 protein expression by IHC assay and assessed by a semi-quantitative scoring method. Besides, 157 pairs were proposed to detect TGM3 mRNA expression by RT-qPCR.

Both TGM3 protein (P<0.001) and mRNA (P<0.001) levels were increased in HCC specimens compared to adjacent noncancerous specimens. Besides, TGM3 high protein expression correlated with multifocal tumor nodules (P<0.001), advanced Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage (P=0.006), higher carcinoembryonic antigen (P=0.038) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (P<0.001). While TGM3 high mRNA expression correlated with multifocal tumor nodules (P=0.025), largest tumor size ≥ 5.0 cm (P=0.042) and higher AFP (P=0.019). Furthermore, both TGM3 protein (P=0.002) and mRNA (P=0.028) high expressions correlated with shorter overall survival (OS). While after adjustment by multivariant Cox's regression, TGM3 protein high expression (vs. low) independently predicted worse OS (P=0.004).

TMG3 expression is increased in tumor tissue, also its high expression correlates with multiple tumor nodules, higher BCLC stage, abnormal AFP and reduced OS in HCC patients.

Multiple conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) procedures would cause treatment resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, whether drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) would resolve this issue is a necessary topic. Thus, this study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between DEB-TACE and cTACE in HCC patients with cTACE treatment history.

Totally, 134 HCC patients with cTACE treatment history were retrospectively reviewed. They were categorized into DEB-TACE group (N=70) and cTACE group (N=64) based on the current treatment they received.

After 1-month treatment, DEB-TACE group exhibited an elevated objective response rate (ORR) (71.9% vs. 47.3%, P=0.008) while similar disease control rate (DCR) (93.0% vs. 81.8%, P=0.074) compared to cTACE group. Besides, after 3-month treatment, DEB-TACE group also displayed higher ORR (68.4% vs. 44.1%, P=0.038) and DCR (81.6% vs. 58.8%, P=0.034) compared to cTACE group. Furthermore, the median progression-free survival (PFS) (11.
