CAT values were significantly lower in Control as compared with the Sham group. Plasma levels of MDA in the Control group were significantly higher than in the Dexketoprofen group. BUN and creatinine values were significantly higher in the Dexketoprofen group. The severity of tissue injury in the Dexketoprofen group was significantly higher than in Control and Sham groups CONCLUSION Although dexketoprofen reduces the I/R-induced systemic inflammation, it increases renal tissue damage.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) of the Quadratus Lumborum muscle (QL) is a frequent cause of chronic low back pain. With this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided infiltration with 0.25% levobupivacaine and 40mg triamcinolone for MPS of the QL.
Observational and retrospective study of participants submitted to ultrasound-guided infiltration of the QL muscle from January 1, 2015 to June 31, 2019. Polyethylenimine nmr Pain intensity was assessed using the five-point pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pre-intervention, at 72hours, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post-intervention. Additional data collected were demographic characteristics, opioid consumption, and adverse effects.
We assessed 90 participants with mean age of 55.2 years. Sixty-eight percent of participants were female. Compared to the pre-intervention assessment, there was an improvement in pain at 72hours (Mean Difference [MD=3.085]; 95% CI 2.200-3.970, p<0.05), at the 1st month (MD=2.644; 95% CI 1.667-3.621, p< 0.05), at the 3
month (MD=2.017; 95% CI 0.202-2.729, p<0.05) and at the 6
month (MD=1.339; 95% CI 0.378-2.300, p<0.05), post-intervention. No statistically significant differences in opioid consumption were observed. No adverse effects associated with the technique were reported.
Ultrasound-guided infiltration of the QL muscle is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of pain in the QL MPS within 6 months post-intervention.

The educational program implemented at the Pratola Serra (Avellino, Italy) facility of the company FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), had as its goal to raise awareness among people to adopt behaviors inspired by the principles of a Mediterranean diet, physical activity and prevention of the main cardiovascular risk factors.
The educational program was implemented in two different ways in order to compare, according to an intervention-control scheme, the performance of the subgroups and the effect of the types of intervention. On both groups measurements of the vital parameters were carried out and compared by means of statistical probabilistic tests.
The educational intervention was shown to be effective in encouraging healthy food choices both in the workplace and at home (with a statistically significant reduction in caloric intake, animal protein, saturated fatty acids, cholesterol and glycemic load and an increase in vegetable proteins), significantly increasing physical activity and reducing body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and blood glucose in the participants.
The educational campaign proved effective in increasing the well-being of the participants, confirming the effectiveness of a multifactorial intervention based on the promotion of a dietary model rather than individual foods.

We assessed whether oxidative stress (OS) is increased in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to healthy peers. Moreover, we searched for OS predictors in the T1D population.
We compared the concentration of serum derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) in 412 children/adolescents with T1D (3.6-23.5years old) to that of 138 healthy children/adolescents (1.2-19.2years old) by ANOVA adjusted for age, gender, and BMI z-score (z-BMI). Applying a general linear model, in a subgroup of 331 patients using continuous glucose monitoring, we searched for predictors of d-ROMs among 3-day, 2-week, and 4-week metrics of glucose control and variability, such as mean blood glucose, percent time in range (70-180mg/dl,TIR
), coefficient of variation, and others, as well as among conventional cardiovascular risk factors like current and average HbA1c, z-BMI, blood pressure percentiles, and lipid concentrations recorded retrospectively over the entire follow-up period.
D-ROMs levels were significantly higher in children/adolescents with T1D compared to controls [371.9 (64.2) versus 324.9 (46.3), p<10
]. Sex (B=49.1, ƞ
=0.14, p=1.3*10
), age<12years in boys (B=79.4, ƞ
=0.074, p=10
),3-day TIR
(B=-0.87, ƞ
=0.048, p=6.5*10
), and z-BMI (B=7.4, ƞ
=0.016, p=0.022) predicted d-ROMs with an overall R
of 0.278.
OS is increased in youth with T1D and only partially predicted by gender, age, glucose control, and anthropometry. Other potential determinants of OS in this population should be targeted in future studies.

To compare the number of reoperations, reamputations, and new ulcers following toe amputation in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with sub-group analysis on index amputation level.
One-hundred sixteen patients with a complete (CTA) or partial (PTA) toe amputation and minimum of 12-month (12M) follow-up were identified in electronic medical records. The number of reoperations and reamputations, number and location of new ulcers, and final amputation level of the ipsilateral extremity were compared between diabetic and non-diabetic patients and between those with CTA and PTA at 12M and final follow-up (FFU).
Diabetic patients had significantly more reoperations, reamputations, and new ulcers than non-diabetic patients at 12M and FFU. There were no differences in reoperations, reamputations, or new ulcer location between CTA and PTA; however, patients with PTA developed more new ulcers at 12M and FFU and were more likely to have a distal final amputation level compared to those with CTA.
Diabetic patients required significantly more reoperations and reamputations following a toe amputation and developed more new ulcers than non-diabetic patients regardless of index amputation level. These high rates among diabetic patients highlight the complications encountered following toe amputation and emphasize the need for close, multi-disciplinary care.

However, several interoception tasks are of questionable validity, meaning associations between interoception and other variables require confirmation with new measures. Here we describe the novel, smartphone-based Phase Adjustment Task (PAT). Tones are presented at the participant's heart rate, but out of phase with heartbeats. Participants adjust the phase relationship between tones and heartbeats until they are synchronous. Data from 124 participants indicates variance in performance across participants which is not affected by physiological or strategic confounds. Associations between interoception and anxiety, depression and stress were not significant. Weak associations between interoception and mental health variables may be a consequence of testing a non-clinical sample. A second study revealed PAT performance to be moderately stable over one week, consistent with state effects on interoception.Interoceptive accuracy (IAcc) as assessed with the heartbeat counting task (IAccHBCT) may be affected by a range of factors including (1.) the ability to adequately detect cardiac signals, indicated by IAcc in a heartbeat discrimination task (IAccHBDT), (2.) cardiac signal properties, affected by sympathetic and parasympathetic tone, and (3.) non-interoceptive processes, including time estimation accuracy (TEAcc). In the current study we investigated the contribution of these factors to absolute and Δ IAccHBCT scores, induced by passive head-up and head-down tilt in 49 healthy individuals. A set of hierarchical regression models showed IAccHBDT scores as the strongest and, across different orthostatic (tilt) conditions, most stable (positive) predictor of absolute and Δ IAccHBCT scores. Neither indicators of cardiac signal properties (except for HR in head-down-tilt), nor TEAcc predicted absolute or Δ IAccHBCT scores. These findings support the convergent and discriminant validity of absolute and Δ IAccHBCT scores.In current decades, the fabrication and design of magnetic biocatalysts have been advancing as green catalysts. Hence, in this paper, we use the apple seed starch to create indium(III) immobilized on Fe3O4@apple seed starch core-shell magnetic nanocatalyst (Fe3O4@apple seed starch-In(III)). The prepared catalyst was identified and evaluated with several analysis techniques. The application of this catalyst in the synthesis of isochromeno[4,3-c]pyrazole-5(1H)-one derivates under solvent-free conditions was a new approach with high efficiency. Due to the magnetic nature of the catalyst, the catalyst separation from the reaction medium is easy, and it is reusable for five runs without significant change in catalytic activity. The fabrication of this catalyst is based on green chemistry principles and is more economical and stable than other catalysts in the synthesis of pyrazole-fused isocoumarins heterocyclic compounds.The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors play important roles in many processes such as plant growth, metabolism and response to biotic/abiotic stresses. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a major oil crop, cultivated throughout the world. However, no systematic characterization of bHLH gene members in sunflower (HabHLH) and their functions involved in drought, cadmium tolerance and Orobanche cumana resistance has been reported yet. In this study, 183 HabHLH genes were identified and named according to their chromosomal locations. We classified these proteins into 21 subfamilies by phylogenetic tree analysis. Subsequently, DNA-binding patterns, sequence analysis, duplication analysis and gene structures were analyzed. All of the HabHLH genes were randomly distributed on 17 chromosomes, and 10 pairs of tandem duplicated genes and one pair of segmental duplicated genes were detected in the HabHLH family. Among the duplicated gene pairs, eight pairs of HabHLH genes suffer from positive selection. Moreover, qRT-PCR results revealed significant up-regulated expression of HabHLH024 gene in response to both abiotic (cadmium, drought) and biotic (Orobanche cumana) stresses, suggesting its important functions in response to different stresses. Therefore, HabHLH024 would be the potential candidate gene for the sunflower tolerance breeding.
