Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Subglottic stenosis, which is defined as narrowing of the airway below the vocal cords, has a frequency of 16-23% in GPA. Herein, we present the case of a 39-year-old woman with subglottic stenosis manifesting as life-threatening GPA, which was recurrent under systemic immunosuppressive therapy. The patient underwent an emergency tracheostomy, intratracheal intervention, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) laser surgery and intralesional steroid injection via laryngomicroscopic surgery, and laryngotracheal resection with remodeling. Severe subglottic stenosis treatment requires active intratracheal intervention, surgery, and systemic immunosuppressive therapy.The aim of this study was to valorize Thymus serpyllum herbal dust, a particular fraction distinguished as an industrial waste from filter-tea production. Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) was used with the aim of overcoming certain obstacles of conventional extraction techniques in terms of shortening extraction time, reducing solvent consumption and energy costs, using "green" solvents and obtaining high yield and quality products. In order to optimize PLE of T. serpyllum herbal dust, the preliminary screening of the independent variables in order to define the most influential parameters and their domain was done first. After the screening, the optimization study using the face-centered central composite experimental design (CCD) with response surface methodology (RSM) was implemented. Additionally, taking into account the high awareness of the positive influence of antioxidants on the human health and associating it with high content of polyphenolic compounds in various members of Lamiaceae family, PLE has proven to be a great approach for antioxidants recovery from T. serpyllum herbal dust.The aim was to determine the relationships among components of the force-velocity (F-V) profiles in jumping and sprinting, with both biological and chronological ages in 89 young soccer players belonging to categories from U10 to U18. CFT8634 Participants performed countermovement jumps (CMJ) and 20-m sprint tests. F-V components assessed were associated with both maturity offset and chronological age, using correlation and multiple linear regression analyses. Horizontal (i.e., maximal theoretical force [F0] and velocity [V0], maximal power [Pmax] and F-V slope) and vertical (i.e., [F0] and [Pmax]) F-V components displayed very large correlations (i.e., 0.79 ≤ r ≤ 0.92) with both chronological age and maturity offset. The combination of sprinting Pmax and training experience and jumping F0 and training experience explained up to 94% of the variances in maturity offset and chronological age. Furthermore, similar correlations were found between sprinting and jumping performances, and components of the F-V profiles, and both maturity offset and chronological age. Identification of vertical jump and sprint mechanical determinants may assist in strengthening those components of the F-V profile which are weaker throughout the training process. Sprinting and jumping capabilities can be indistinctly monitored with respect to their chronological age or maturity offset in young soccer players.(1) Background Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) after head and neck free-flap reconstruction are a common postoperative complication. Risk factors for HAIs in this context and their consequences have not been adequately described. (2) Methods Ongoing prospective multicentre study between 02/2019 and 12/2020. Demographic characteristics and outcomes were analysed, focusing on infections. (3) Results Forty out of 65 patients (61.54%) suffered HAIs (surgical site infection 52.18%, nosocomial pneumonia 23.20%, bloodstream infection 13% and urinary tract infection 5.80%). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae were the most frequently implicated. The significant risk factors for infection were previous radiotherapy (Odds ratio (OR) 5.42; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.39-21.10), anaemia (OR 8.00; 95% CI, 0.96-66.95), salvage surgery (eight out of eight patients), tracheostomy (OR 2.86; 95% CI, 1.01-8.14), surgery duration (OR 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00-1.02), microvascular reoperation less then 72 h (eight/eight) and flap loss (eight/eight). The major surgical complications were a need to reoperate (OR 6.89; 95% CI, 1.42-33.51), prolonged hospital admission (OR 1.16; 95% CI, 1.06-1.27) and delay in the initiation of postoperative radiotherapy (OR 9.07; 95% CI, 1.72-47.67). The sixth month mortality rate in patients with HAIs was 7.69% vs. 0% in patients without HAIs (p = 0.50). (4) Conclusions HAIs were common after this type of surgery, many of them caused by resistant microorganisms. Some modifiable risk factors were identified. Infections played a role in cancer prognosis by delaying adjuvant therapy.Molecular mechanisms underlying bladder dysfunction in ischemia, particularly at the protein and protein modification levels and downstream pathways, remain largely unknown. Here we describe a comparison of protein sequence variations in the ischemic and normal bladder tissues by measuring the mass differences of the coding amino acids and actual residues crossing the proteome. A large number of nonzero delta masses (11,056) were detected, spanning over 1295 protein residues. Clustering analysis identified 12 delta mass clusters that were significantly dysregulated, involving 30 upregulated (R2 > 0.5, ratio > 2, p 0.5, ratio less then -2, p less then 0.05) proteins in bladder ischemia. These protein residues had different mass weights from those of the standard coding amino acids, suggesting the formation of non-coded amino acid (ncAA) residues in bladder ischemia. Pathway, gene ontology, and protein-protein interaction network analyses of these ischemia-associated delta-mass containing proteins indicated that ischemia provoked several amino acid variations, potentially post-translational modifications, in the contractile proteins and stress response molecules in the bladder. Accumulation of ncAAs may be a novel biomarker of smooth muscle dysfunction, with diagnostic potential for bladder dysfunction. Our data suggest that systematic assessment of global protein modifications may be crucial to the characterization of ischemic conditions in general and the pathomechanism of bladder dysfunction in ischemia.
