798). Moreover, there was no significant difference in either the overall survival benefit (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49-1.45, P = 0.532) or disease-free survival rate (HR = 0.95, 95% CI 0.52-1.75, P = 0.864). CONCLUSIONS The evidence obtained does not support PCI therapy in the management of surgically resected SCLC with no lymph node involvement. KEY POINTS Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) remains controversial for resected small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) without lymph node involvement. In this study, the results indicated that PCI does not reduce the risk of cerebral recurrence of resected p-T1-2N0M0 SCLC. This is the largest sample size study focused on PCI in resected p-T1-2N0M0 SCLC. Future revised versions of the guidelines should address this issue. © 2020 The Authors.

Transporter association and dissociation rate constants and passive rates out of the cell were similar between pitavastatin and eltrombopag. Translocation into the cell through transporter mediated uptake was six times greater for pitavastatin, leading to pronounced inhibition of pitavastatin uptake by eltrombopag. The passive rate into the cell was 91 times smaller for pitavastatin compared to eltrombopag. A semi-mechanistic PBPK model was developed to evaluate the potential for clinical drug-drug interactions. The PBPK model predicted a two fold increase in the pitavastatin Cmax and AUC in the presence of eltrombopag in simulated healthy volunteers. The use of structural identifiability supporting experimental design, combined with robust micro-rate constant parameter estimates and a semi-mechanistic PBPK model gave more informed predictions of transporter mediated drug-drug interactions.

DRM is generally characterized by skeletal muscle weakness, conduction disturbance, and dilated cardiomyopathy. However, the clinical cardiac phenotypes of DRM are not yet fully understood. Herein, we report the first case of DRM with the de novo missense DES mutation, R454W, that is characterized by left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, progressive cardiac conduction defect, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and no skeletal muscle weakness. Our case findings suggest that clinicians should genetically test patients who have cardiomyopathy, progressive cardiac conduction defect, and coronary artery dissection, even if the patient has neither family history of DRM nor skeletal muscle symptoms. © 2020 The Authors.

The cationic assemblies were obtained as salts of different fluorinated anions that display diverse sizes and electronic properties, namely BF 4 - , PF 6 - , SbF 6 - and CF 3 SO 3 - . The new crown-like metallamacrocycles showed remarkable differences in their NMR spectra due to the presence of the different counteranions. On the basis of the observed variations, the metallacycles have been tested as catalytic precursors in allylic alkylation reactions. The anion-dependent activity and selectivity has been analysed and compared with that of the corresponding monometallic allylic corners [Pd(η 3 -2-Me-C 3 H 4 )(4-PPh 2 py) 2 ]X (X = BF 4 - , PF 6 - , SbF 6 - , CF 3 SO 3 - ). DFT calculations have been employed in order to help to the interpretation of the experimental data and to model the anion-crown interactions. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In order to determine the role of IL-17 in development of allergic asthma, we used IL-17A/F double knockout (IL-17A/F KO) and wild type (wt) mice with or without neutralization of IL-17 in an experimental allergic asthma model and analysed airway hyperresponsiveness, lung inflammation, T helper cell polarization and dendritic cells (DC) influx and activation. We report that absence of IL-17 reduced influx of DCs into lungs and lung draining lymph nodes. Compared to wt mice, IL-17A/F KO mice or wt mice after neutralization of IL-17A showed reduced airway hyperresponsiveness, eosinophilia, mucus hypersecretion, and immunoglobulin E levels. DCs from draining lymph nodes of allergen-challenged IL-17A/F KO mice showed reduction in expression of migratory and costimulatory molecules CCR7, CCR2, MHC-II, and CD40 compared to wt DCs. Moreover, in vivo stimulation of adoptively transferred antigen-specific cells was attenuated in lung-draining lymph nodes in absence of IL-17. Thus, we report that IL-17 enhances airway DC activation, migration and function. Consequently, lack of IL-17 leads to reduced antigen-specific T cell priming and impaired development of experimental allergic asthma. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

This study explores the formation of the Na-tetrahydrofuran (THF)-GIC and a new ternary system based on dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Detailed comparisons of in situ temperature dependent XRD with TGA-MS and Raman measurements reveals a series of dynamic transformations during heating. Surprisingly, the bulk of the intercalation compound is stable under ambient conditions, trapped between the graphene sheets. Protein Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor The heating process drives a reorganisation of the solvent and Na molecules, then an evaporation of the solvent; however, the solvent loss is arrested by restacking of the graphene layers, leading to trapped solvent bubbles. Eventually, the bubbles rupture, releasing the remaining solvent and creating expanded graphite. These trapped dopants may provide useful property enhancements, but also potentially confound measurements of grafting efficiency in liquid phase covalent functionalization experiments on "2D materials".
