002, p = 0.02, respectively). Along with the increased ED scores in GRISS, IIEF-5 total scores also revealed more significant severity of the ED in the Bup/Nal group (p = 0.001).

Buprenorphine/naloxone combination lead to a higher degree of ED severity than the non-treatment controls. Noncommunication seems to play a role as a risk factor for ED in patients with opioid use disorder. Thus, effective communication can be a key factor for sexual assertivity and disclosing the sexual adverse effects to the clinicians as well as staying in the treatment.

Antibiotic resistance issues associated with microbial pathogenesis are considered to be one of the most serious current threats to health. Fortunately, TiO
, a photoactive semiconductor, was proven to have antibacterial activity and is being widely utilized. However, its use is limited to the short range of absorption wavelength.

In this work, heterostructured TiO
-FeS
nanocomposites (NCs) were successfully prepared by a facile solution approach to enhance light-induced antibacterial activity over a broader absorption range.

In TiO
-FeS
NCs, FeS
NPs, as light harvesters, can effectively increase light absorption from the visible (Vis) to near-infrared (NIR). Results of light-induced antibacterial activities indicated that TiO
-FeS
NCs had better antibacterial activity than that of only TiO
nanoparticles (NPs) or only FeS
NPs. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) measurements also showed that TiO
-FeS
NCs produced the highest relative ROS levels. Unlike TiO
NPs, TiO
-FeS
NCs, under light irradiation with a 515-nm filter, could absorb light wavelengths longer than 515 nm to generate ROS. In the mechanistic study, we found that TiO
NPs in TiO
-FeS
NCs could absorb ultraviolet (UV) light to generate photoinduced electrons and holes for ROS generation, including ⋅O

and ⋅OH; FeS
NPs efficiently harvested Vis to NIR light to generate photoinduced electrons, which then were transferred to TiO
NPs to facilitate ROS generation.

TiO
-FeS
NCs with superior light-induced antibacterial activity could be a promising antibacterial agent against bacterial infections.

Agomelatine (AGM) is the first melatonergic antidepressant. It suffers from low oral bioavailability (<5%) due to extensive hepatic metabolism. The current work aimed to develop an alternative AGM-loaded invasomes to enhance transdermal drug bioavailability.

AGM-loaded invasomes were developed using two drug lipid ratios (110 or 17.5), four terpene types (limonene, cineole, fenchone or citral) and two terpene concentrations (0.75% or 1.5%, w/v). ONO-7475 datasheet They were characterized for drug entrapment efficiency (EE%), particle size (PS), zeta potential (ZP) and drug released percentages after 0.5h (Q
) and 8h (Q
). The optimum invasomes (I1, I2 and I4) were evaluated for morphology, drug-crystallinity, and ex-vivo drug flux. The variables influencing sonophoresis of the best achieved invasomal gel system (I2) were optimized including, ultrasound frequency (low, LFU or high, HFU), mode (pulsed or continuous), application period (10 min or 15 min) and duty cycle (50% or 100%). AGM pharmacokinetics were evaluated in rabbits following transdermal application of I2-LFU-C4 system, relative to AGM oral dispersion.

The superiority of I2 invasomes [comprising AGM and phosphatidylcholine (110) and limonene (1.5% w/v)] was statistically revealed with respect to EE% (78.6%), PS (313 nm), ZP (-64 mV), Q
(30.1%), Q
(92%), flux (10.79 µg/cm2/h) and enhancement ratio (4.83). The optimum sonophoresis conditions involved application of LFU in the continuous mode for 15 min at a 100% duty cycle (I2-LFU-C4 system). The latter system showed significantly higher C
, and relative bioavailability (≈ 7.25 folds) and a similar T
(0.5 h).

I2-LFU-C4 is a promising transdermal system for AGM.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) and neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) are two prominent synergistic receptors overexpressed on new blood vessels in glioma and may be promising targets for antiglioma therapy. The aim of this study was to design a dual receptor targeting and blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrating peptide-modified polyethyleneimine (PEI) nanocomplex that can efficiently deliver the angiogenesis-inhibiting secretory endostatin gene (pVAXI-En) to treat glioma.

We first constructed the tandem peptide TAT-AT7 by conjugating AT7 to TAT and evaluated its binding affinity to VEGFR-2 and NRP-1, vasculature-targeting ability and BBB crossing capacity. Then, TAT-AT7-modified PEI polymer (PPTA) was synthesized, and a pVAXI-En-loaded PPTA nanocomplex (PPTA/pVAXI-En) was prepared. The physicochemical properties, cytotoxicity, transfection efficiency, capacities to cross the BBB and BTB (blood-tumor barrier) and glioma-targeting properties of PPTA/pVAXI-En were investigated. Moreover, the in viv gene delivery system for effective glioma therapy.
Our study demonstrates that PPTA/pVAXI-En can be exploited as an efficient dual-targeting nanocomplex to cross the BBB and BTB, and hence it represents a feasible and promising nonviral gene delivery system for effective glioma therapy.
Asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) has been reported as an association with a lower quality of life, frequent exacerbations, and higher mortality than those with COPD alone. However, clinical characteristics and outcomes of ACO remain controversial.

We conducted a prospective observational study analyzing data of patients with stable COPD enrolled from the Ishinomaki COPD Network Registry. Patients with features of asthma who had a history of respiratory symptoms that vary over time and intensity, together with documented variable expiratory airflow limitation, were identified, and then defined as having ACO. The characteristics, frequency of exacerbations, and mortality during the 3-year follow-up were compared between patients with ACO and patients with COPD alone.

Among 387 patients with COPD, 41 (10.6%) were identified as having ACO. Patients with ACO tended to be younger, have higher BMI, have a shorter smoking history, and use more respiratory medications, especially inhaled corticosteroids. Inflammatory biomarkers including fractional exhaled nitric oxide, blood eosinophil count, total immunoglobulin E (IgE) level, and presence of antigen-specific IgE were significantly higher in patients with ACO than in those with COPD alone.
