The diagnostic accuracy of combination of hs-CRP, D-dimer, and Wells score was analyzed by logistic regression.
DVT was confirmed in 10 subjects (28,6%). The cut-off point of hs-CRP levels for probable DVT was ≥51.05 mg/L and for D-dimer was ≥5030 µg/L. The median levels of both variables were higher in the subjects with DVT compared with the subjects without DVT, but it was not statistically significant. The combination of hs-CRP (≥51.05 mg/L), D-dimer (≥5030 µg/L), and Wells score ≥3 had the high accuracy (94.1%) to predict the incidence of DVT compared with hs-CRP (65.0%), D-dimer (54.7%), and combination of hs-CRP and D-dimer (71.0%).
The combination of hs-CRP (≥51.05 mg/L), D-dimer (≥5030 µg/L), and Wells score ≥3 can predict the incidence of DVT in cancer.

Helicobacter pylori infection is a public health problem associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. It is endemic in developing countries like Ethiopia. This study was aimed to assess seroprevalence of
infection and associated factors among adults' dyspeptic patients in public health facilities of Mizan Aman Town, Southwest Ethiopia.
Cross-sectional study was conducted in public health facilities of Mizan Aman Town, from April 1, 2018, to June 30, 2018. A total of 208 adult dyspeptic patients were included in the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Serum was tested for anti-
antibody using a commercial test strip. Data were entered using Epi info 6.04 and exported to SPSS 21 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was employed and OR with 95% CI was retrieved. P-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
A total of 208 participants were interviewed. The mean age of respondents was 31.70 (SD ±9.123) yearic animals, storage and reuse of water, toilet type, sources of drinking water, and occupation were significant factors associated with H. pylori infection. The possible identified modifiable risk factors should be addressed through effective health education.
The role of gene expression changes in acne patients treated by oral isotretinoin (ISO) and in influencing the ISO therapeutic effects is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the gene profiles of patients with severe acne who responded variously to ISO therapy.
The peripheral blood of 113 acne vulgaris patients (Pillsbury IV grade) was collected before treatment. After 8 weeks of oral ISO, nine acne patients were selected and divided into the following groups. A effectively treated by ISO, group B ineffectively treated by ISO, group C ISO-induced acne flare-up, and 3 healthy subjects were included as control group D. The peripheral blood of patients pre- and post-treatment was subjected to high-throughput RNA sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis of the separate groups (n = 3). The candidate genes were validated by qRT-PCR.
Comparing pre- and post-oral ISO treatment, gene expression was changed as 39 genes in ISO-effective group, 345 genes in ISO-ineffective group, and 57 genes in Its. ISO therapeutic mechanisms were involved, not only in regulating the inflammatory reaction but also in the process of DNA repair. GATA2, C4BPA, CCR5, DEFA3, ELANE, MMP9, and RPS4Y1 might be susceptible to genes that could participate in the ISO-induced aggravation of acne.
The correlation between the radiosensitivity genes combined with CD19 status and clinical outcome was investigated to identify gastric cancer (GC) patients who would benefit from radiotherapy combined with CAR-T cell therapy.
The gene expression and clinical features were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Stomach Cancer (STAD). To identify the hub radiosensitivity genes and CD19 status, 407 patients were categorized into two groups radiosensitivity (RS) and radioresistance (RR) based on the prognosis. The chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were applied to compare the differential expression in these groups and analyze the correlation between the gene expression and clinical outcome and features. Finally, the influencing factors for the prognosis of GC were investigated by multiple Cox regression, especially in RS patients.
A total of 15 differential expression genes, containing two communities with 8 hub radiosensitivity genes, were identified. We also identified a 2-gene signature model with a negative coefficient and calculated the risk score for the prognosis of GC. Also,
infection was validated, and the high-risk score of radiosensitivity genes was the risk factor, and high CD19 expression was the protective factor for the prognosis.
The radiosensitivity gene signature and CD19 expression predicted the clinical outcome of GC patients.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective treatment option for patients with recurrent
infection (rCDI). Polyethylenimine chemical However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding its efficacy and safety in patients with rCDI and concurrent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here, we present a single-center experience of FMT for treatment of rCDI in Iranian patients with IBD.
Eight patients with established IBD (7 with ulcerative colitis and 1 with Crohn's disease) who underwent at least one FMT via colonoscopy for treatment of rCDI were enrolled in this study. Demographics, pre-FMT and post-FMT IBD activity, efficacy for rCDI and adverse events (AEs) were assessed during a 6-month follow-up period. All patients had experienced 3 episodes of rCDI and were refractory to conventional therapies with metronidazole and vancomycin. Primary cure and secondary cure rates were assessed after FMT treatments.
A total of 10 FMTs were performed via colonoscopy in 8 patients (6/8; 75% men) with a median age of 35 years (range 22-60). Two patients received a second FMT. Overall, the primary and secondary cure rates were 75% and 100%, respectively. Two patients developed CPE-producing
diagnoses after second FMTs. There were no other AEs, and no patient experienced IBD flare.
We demonstrated that FMT appears to be an effective, safe and rational therapeutic alternative for resolution of rCDI in patients with underlying IBD. Furthermore, we suggest implementing the CPE-producing
testing in the screening of FMT donors.
