7% of lesions. DCB-related procedural complications were infrequent (3.3%, mostly coronary dissection [2.3%]). Bailout stenting was required in 3.1%. MACE during 2-year follow-up occurred in 17.1% of patients treated for ISR and 9.7% of patients treated for de novo lesions. The incidence of TLR was 11.7% of ISR patients and 2.9% of de novo patients. History of coronary artery bypass grafting and lesion length were predictors of MACE in patients treated for ISR.
The use of Protégé paclitaxel DCB for PCI of ISR and de novo lesions is safe and effective during 2-year follow-up.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing for subclavian artery (SA) percutaneous vascular interventions (PVI) may allow superior understanding of patient specific complex anatomy and aid with preprocedural planning.
Five patients with computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the neck who underwent SA PVI were queried retrospectively. 3D printing of aortic arch and great vessels was accomplished with 3D slicer software and painted with acrylic paint to highlight anatomic features. The aortic arch type and implications for preprocedural planning for SA interventions including complex chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions were determined. Comparisons were made with SA angiograms and 3D-CTA.
Of the 5 patients, type I (n = 2), type II (n = 1), and type III (n = 2) aortic arches were identified. Proximal and distal reference vessel size and total lesion length were determined using a digital millimeter caliper and correlated with intraprocedural balloons and stents. In 3D-printed models (3D-PMs) of patients with SA-CTtime, thereby improving procedure and cost efficiency.
In patients with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), accurate assessment of gradients is important to assess valve function and durability, which drives clinical decision-making. We sought to evaluate discrepancies in aortic valve mean gradients with balloon-expandable and self-expanding TAVI.
We retrospectively reviewed 507 patients that underwent TAVI and compared mean gradients by catheterization to transthoracic Doppler echocardiography.
Mean gradients by Doppler in balloon-expandable (11.0 ± 5.8 mm Hg) and self-expanding devices (8.7 ± 4.5 mm Hg) were significantly higher than catheterization (3.2 ± 4.0 mm Hg vs 3.5 ± 4.1 mm Hg, respectively; P<.001). In a subgroup analysis of skirted valves, Doppler gradients in balloon-expandable (9.8 ± 4.4 mm Hg) and self-expanding devices (8.6 ± 5.1 mm Hg) were significantly higher than catheterization (3.5 ± 4.1 mm Hg vs 4.2 ± 4.8 mm Hg, respectively; P<.001). When the effect of valve size on gradients was analyzed, Doppler gradients were sigese observations may reflect periprocedural hemodynamic changes, differences between prosthetic flow acceleration, and/or pressure recovery.Since the review of Savignac, the past 20 years have seen significant progresses on the synthesis of alkynylphosphorus compounds considerably expanding the original and rather limited organic toolbox. This comprehensive review explores the latest and potentially greener methodologies using sustainable catalysis or direct metal-free couplings from stable and easy to handle precursors. Recent progress and mechanistic insights for metal-catalyzed reactions with a particular emphasis on copper, palladium, nickel and silver catalytic systems, photocatalytic and metal-free reactions are detailed covering most of the publications related to this field since 2000 until March 2022.The new HLA-B*51367 differs from B*51010164 by four substitutions in exon 1.
To evaluate clinical data regarding the use of amivantamab and mobocertinib for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutation non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and assess their potential impact on the care of patients.
A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and Clinicaltrials.gov was conducted using the terms

Relevant English-language clinical trials were evaluated.
Amivantamab and mobocertinib were Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved based on phases 1 and 2 studies. Amivantamab demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 40% and median progression-free survival (PFS) of 8.3 months. Patients commonly experienced rash (86%), paronychia (45%), and stomatitis (21%). Mobocertinib demonstrated an ORR of 28% and median PFS of 7.3 months in phase 1/2 study. Patients frequently experienced diarrhea (91%), rash (45%), and paronychia (38%). Cardiac monitoring is recommended with mobocertinib due to risk of QTc prolongation and cardiac failure.
For NSCLC patients who possess an EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, amivantamab and mobocertinib are indicated as second-line therapy. Ongoing studies are evaluating these therapies as first-line monotherapy and as part of combination regimens in multiple cancer types. Dosage forms, drug interactions, and patient comorbidities should be considered when deciding which of the 2 agents may be most appropriate.
Amivantamab and mobocertinib target an uncommon NSCLC mutation that has historically marked a poor prognosis because of innate resistance to previously approved EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Promising results from early phase trials supported accelerated FDA approval.

This study aimed to compare the effects of different antidepressant therapies on depression in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
A total of 328 patients with idiopathic PD were selected consecutively. Subjects met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disease , Fourth Edition , criteria for a depressive disorder, or operationally defined subsyndromal depression, and scored greater than 17 on the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17). One hundred thirty-one patients with PD accompanied with depression were enrolled into the experimental group. The subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups, and 118 were eventually completed routine treatment group (n = 29), routine treatment + escitalopram group (n = 29), routine treatment + pramipexole group (n = 31), and routine treatment + transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) group (n = 29). After 4 weeks of treatments, the efficacy of each treatment was evaluated using HAMD score and reduction rate. antidepressant effects and improved patients' quality of life and did not worsen motor function.
There are more than 350 reports of hyperglycemia post-influenza vaccine according to the Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System. Only one case report has been published detailing unusual post-vaccination hyperglycemia. The mechanism as to why hyperglycemia may occur post-vaccination has not been fully elucidated.
Primary To identify hyperglycemia within the first 24 hours of influenza vaccine. Secondary To identify transient property of hyperglycemia within 4 days after vaccine.
Multicenter prospective cohort study. Recruitment conducted throughout San Antonio, Texas, during 2018-2020 influenza seasons. Patients were included if 18 years or older, had diabetes mellitus, and currently checking their blood glucose daily. Patients excluded if they had a recent medication change that would effect their blood glucose readings. Patients had hemoglobin A1c and blood glucose measured prior to vaccination with a single dose (0.5 mL) of the tri-valent influenza vaccine intramuscularly. Glucose readings were colld lead to reduced vaccination rates.
Limited information is available on the use of biologics in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) or SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) in Japan. The types of biologics, treatment duration, treatment prior to biologics, concomitant treatment, and characteristics of patients receiving biologics were investigated.
We used a Japanese hospital claims database provided by Medical Data Vision Co. (2008-2021).
In the database, 1,186 of 34,207 SSc patients (3.5%) and 620 of 12,303 SSc-ILD patients (5.0%) received anti-interleukin-6 (anti-IL-6) drugs, anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs, abatacept, or rituximab. The most common were anti-IL-6 drugs (used in 35.5% of SSc patients and 38.5% of SSc-ILD patients [tocilizumab, 34.5% and 36.6%]), followed by anti-TNF drugs (31.3% and 26.5% [etanercept, 10.5% and 9.0%; others, <8%]), abatacept (17.5% and 20.6%), and rituximab (15.7% and 14.4%). Among SSc and SSc-ILD patients treated with anti-IL-6 drugs, anti-TNF drugs, or abatacept, the most common immunosuppressive drugs prior to initiation of biologics were methotrexate and tacrolimus. Approximately half of patients receiving anti-IL-6 drugs, anti-TNF drugs, or abatacept continued treatment beyond 1 year.
Our study indicates that off-label biologics have been used in a certain number of SSc or SSc-ILD patients in Japan, with tocilizumab the most common.

In Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, CLA oleate hydratase (CLA-HY), CLA short-chain dehydrogenase (CLA-DH), and CLA acetoacetate decarboxylase (CLA-DC) catalyze the biotransformation of linoleic acid (LA) to CLA. However, the underlying transcriptional regulation mechanism of this pathway remains largely unknown. In this study, the potential transcriptional regulators that might bind to the cla promoter of L. CDK inhibitor plantarum AR195 were investigated by DNA pulldown. Interestingly, ArgR2, the transcriptional regulator of arginine metabolism, was identified as a potential regulator involved in the regulation of CLA biotransformation. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and molecular interaction results demonstrated the specific binding of ArgR2 to the regulatory region of the cla operon. The knockout of argR2 led to the downprotein ArgR2. The regulation mechanism of ArgR2 on CLA biosynthesis lays a theoretical foundation for the regulation of CLA synthesis and industrial production.Adult day services (ADS) are one of the more popular long-term care options for racial and ethnic minority older Americans. Focusing on minority older adults, this study aims to (a) identify both the individual and structural/organizational levels factors associated with ADS use and to (b) examine ADS' effect on health and well-being. Using the integrative review approach of Whittemore and Knafl, we found 14 studies published between 2010 to 2021. Findings concluded that individual-level needs and enabling factors were associated with ADS use and outcomes among minority older adults centered mostly on quality of life. Organizational/structural characteristics of ADS were never empirically examined in relation to service use or health outcomes. Future research should move beyond the individual level to identify and address the impact of the institutional structure, culture and practice on access, quality, and use.
