Purinergic ATP triggers moxibustion-induced nearby anti-nociceptive impact on inflamed discomfort model.
Over 2years, UAE was associated with higher costs (difference £456; 95% CI -1823 to 3164) and lower QALYs (difference -0.06; 95% CI -0.11 to -0.02).

Myomectomy is a cost-effective option for the treatment of uterine fibroids. The differences in costs and QALYs are small. Women should be fully informed and have the option to choose between the two procedures.

These declines are thought to be partly due to decreased connectivity and habitat loss reducing animal population sizes in disturbed habitats. With time, this can lead to declines in effective population size and genetic diversity which restrict the ability of wildlife to efficiently cope with environmental change through genetic adaptation. However, it is not well understood whether these effects generally hold across taxa. We address this question by repurposing and synthesizing raw microsatellite data from online repositories for 19 amphibian species sampled at 554 georeferenced sites in North America. For each site, we estimated gene diversity, allelic richness, effective population size, and population differentiation. Using binary urban-rural census designations, and continuous measures of human population density, the Human Footprint Index, and impervious surface cover, we tested for generalizable effects of human land use on amphibian genetic diversity. We found minimal evidence, either positive or negative, for relationships between genetic metrics and urbanization. Together with previous work on focal species that also found varying effects of urbanization on genetic composition, it seems likely that the consequences of urbanization are not easily generalizable within or across amphibian species. Questions about the genetic consequences of urbanization for amphibians should be addressed on a case-by-case basis. This contrasts with general negative effects of urbanization in mammals and consistent, but species-specific, positive and negative effects in birds.Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy. Dominant mutations in the glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS) gene cause peripheral nerve degeneration and lead to CMT disease type 2D. The underlying mechanisms of mutations in GARS (GARSCMT2D ) in disease pathogenesis are not fully understood. In this study, we report that wild-type GARS binds the NAD+ -dependent deacetylase SIRT2 and inhibits its deacetylation activity, resulting in the acetylated α-tubulin, the major substrate of SIRT2. The catalytic domain of GARS tightly interacts with SIRT2, which is the most CMT2D mutation localization. However, CMT2D mutations in GARS cannot inhibit SIRT2 deacetylation, which leads to a decrease of acetylated α-tubulin. Genetic reduction of SIRT2 in the Drosophila model rescues the GARS-induced axonal CMT neuropathy and extends the life span. Our findings demonstrate the pathogenic role of SIRT2-dependent α-tubulin deacetylation in mutant GARS-induced neuropathies and provide new perspectives for targeting SIRT2 as a potential therapy against hereditary axonopathies.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for respiratory depression following opioid administration as well as opioid-induced hyperalgesia. Little is known on how obstructive sleep apnea status is associated with central ventilatory depression in pediatric surgical patients given a single dose of fentanyl.

This was a single-center, prospective trial in children undergoing surgery requiring intubation and opioid administration. Sixty patients between the ages of 2-8years presenting for surgery at Texas Children's Hospital were recruited. Twenty non-obstructive sleep apnea controls and 30 patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea met inclusion criteria. Following induction of general anesthesia and establishment of steady-state ventilation, participants received 1mcg/kg intravenous fentanyl. Ventilatory variables (tidal volume, respiratory rate, end-tidal CO
, and minute ventilation) were assessed each minute for 10min. The primary outcome was the extent of opioid-induced central ventilator respiratory depression following a single dose of fentanyl (1 mcg/kg). These findings can help determine safe opioid doses in future pediatric obstructive sleep apneapatients.
To assess the mid-term efficacy and safety of anterior urethroplasty using an autologous tissue-engineered oral mucosa graft (MukoCell
).

The data of 77 patients with anterior urethral strictures undergoing treatment with MukoCell
at a tertiary center from June 2016 to May 2019 were analyzed. Patients' characteristics, pre- and postoperative diagnostics, perioperative complications, and follow-up data were obtained. The overall stricture-free survival, outcomes of the different surgical techniques, stricture localizations, stricture length, early complications of the procedure and risk factors of recurrence were assessed.

The median follow-up period was 38months (interquartile range 31-46). The overall recurrence-free rate of anterior urethroplasty using MukoCell
was 68.8%, 24 patients (31.2%) developed a recurrence of the stricture. The stricture recurrences were observed at a median of 7months (interquartile range 3-13) only in patients with at least one previous surgery or repeated dilatations in their medical history. No oral-urethral adverse events related to the use of MukoCell
were observed, except for a urethrocutaneous fistula (1.3%) requiring reoperation.

Anterior one-stage urethroplasty using MukoCell
showed in our hands a mid-term success rate of up to 68.8% without significant adverse events after a median follow-up period of 38months. This procedure might be an alternative option for long-segment urethral reconstruction.
