Intraoperative argon-plasma coagulation strategy for sufferers along with malignant pleural mesothelioma cancer.
Among men and women, multivariate-adjusted PRs (95% CIs) by comparing participants with the highest and lowest categories were 1.18 (1.04 to 1.35) and 1.16 (1.04 to 1.29) in positive life events; 1.26 (1.10 to 1.45) and 1.09 (0.96 to 1.24) in perceived positive changes in the area; 1.15 (1.04 to 1.28) and 1.17 (1.07 to 1.28) in social participations; 2.23 (1.57 to 3.16) and 1.47 (1.02 to 2.12) in social relationships and 1.25 (1.08 to 1.45) and 1.29 (1.15 to 1.45) in positive built environments. These associations were also preserved after the restriction of participants who were not in depression.

This study shows that a greater variety of each social relationships and the potential community-level environmental determinants are associated with higher frequencies of laughter in Japan.

This study investigated what kinds of experiences influence regional quota (chiikiwaku) medical students' motivation to practice community healthcare (CH), and the mechanism of this influence, by focusing on their experiences in a community-based medical education (CBME) programme.

A qualitative thematic analysis based on interviews.

Participants were recruited from the chiikiwaku students of Kobe University, Japan, using purposive sampling.

Fourteen students participated. The median (IQR) age of participants was 23 (23-24); half were sixth-year and half fifth-year students.

From September to December 2018, the interviews were audiorecorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed according to the 'Steps for Coding and Theorisation' method. Our theoretical framework comprised three internal motives (ie, needs, cognitions and emotions) and their subordinate motivation theories self-determination theory, expectancy-value theories, and positive and negative emotions, respectively.

Three mechanismnd from exposure to attractive community environments and cultures. These experiences should be incorporated into CBME programmes to further encourage positive attitudes towards CH.
The authors revealed that motivation mechanisms of medical students towards CH derived from positive interaction with community residents, healthcare professionals and other students, and from exposure to attractive community environments and cultures. These experiences should be incorporated into CBME programmes to further encourage positive attitudes towards CH.
Evidence specific for stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence is still lacking at present, and acupuncture may relieve the symptoms. We plan to conduct this multi-centre, three-armed, randomised controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture among women with stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence.

The trial will be conducted at five hospitals in China. Two hundred thirty-two eligible women will be randomly assigned (211) to the electroacupuncture, sham electroacupuncture or waiting-list group to receive either 24-session acupuncture/sham acupuncture treatment over 8 weeks and 24-week follow-up or 20-week watchful waiting. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants with at least 50% reduction in mean 24-hour stress incontinence episode frequencies from baseline to week 8. The outcome will be analysed with the intention to treatpopulation (defined as participants randomised) with a two-sided p value of less than 0.05 considered significant.

The protocol has been approved by Guang'anmen Hospital Institutional Review Board (2019-241-KY). Detailed information of the trial will be informed to the participants, and written informed consent will be obtained from every participant. Results of the trial are expected to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FH-deficient RCC) is a rare but lethal subtype of RCC. AD80 Little is known about the genomic profile of FH-deficient RCC, and the therapeutic options for advanced disease are limited. To this end, we performed a comprehensive genomics study to characterize the genomic and epigenomic features of FH-deficient RCC.

Integrated genomic, epigenomic, and molecular analyses were performed on 25 untreated primary FH-deficient RCCs. Complete clinicopathologic and follow-up data of these patients were recorded.

We identified that FH-deficient RCC manifested low somatic mutation burden (median 0.58 mutations per megabase), but with frequent somatic copy-number alterations. The majority of FH-deficient RCCs were characterized by a CpG sites island methylator phenotype, displaying concerted hypermethylation at numerous CpG sites in genes of transcription factors, tumor suppressors, and tumor hallmark pathways. However, a few cases (20%) with low metastatic potential showed relatively low DNA methylation levels, indicating the heterogeneity of methylation pattern in FH-deficient RCC. Moreover, FH-deficient RCC is potentially highly immunogenic, characterized by increased tumor T-cell infiltration but high expression of immune checkpoint molecules in tumors. Clinical data further demonstrated that patients receiving immune checkpoint blockade-based treatment achieved improved progression-free survival over those treated with antiangiogenic monotherapy (median, 13.3 vs. 5.1 months;
= 0.03).

These results reveal the genomic features and provide new insight into potential therapeutic strategies for FH-deficient RCC.

Neratinib is an irreversible, pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is FDA approved for HER2-overexpressing/amplified (HER2
) breast cancer. In this preclinical study, we explored the efficacy of neratinib in combination with inhibitors of downstream signaling in HER2
cancers
and
.

Cell viability, colony formation assays, and Western blotting were used to determine the effect of neratinib
.
efficacy was assessed with patient-derived xenografts (PDX) two breast, two colorectal, and one esophageal cancer (with
mutations). Four PDXs were derived from patients who received previous HER2-targeted therapy. Proteomics were assessed through reverse phase protein arrays and network-level adaptive responses were assessed through Target Score algorithm.

In HER2
breast cancer cells, neratinib was synergistic with multiple agents, including mTOR inhibitors everolimus and sapanisertib, MEK inhibitor trametinib, CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, and PI3Kα inhibitor alpelisib. We tested efficacy of neratinib with everolimus, trametinib, or palbociclib in five HER2
PDXs.
