Notes

Excuse me, have you got minute? The investigation of the dark- and bright-side connection between everyday work disruptions regarding worker well-being.
Mastocytosis is an accumulation of clonal mast cells within tissues and it is most commonly caused by an activating mutation in the KIT gene. In this study, we report a neonatal case who presented with diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) at birth. In China, nine other cases of neonatal-onset CM have been reported in the literature since 2006. In those cases, diffuse CM and urticaria pigmentosa were the main symptoms, and mutations in exon 17 at codon 816 in KIT were identified.
Patients suffering from postoperative recurrent glioblastoma have an extremely unfavorable outcome because there are no proven therapeutic options. The median overall survival for those with relapsed glioblastoma after surgery is only 7.5 months.
Between March 2015 and October 2019, a 44-year-old female patient with recurrent glioblastoma was treated by our medical team. After several failed rounds of therapy, the patient was subsequently treated with the anti-programmed death (PD)-1 antibody nivolumab, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody bevacizumab, and cytotoxic agent temozolomide.

The patient showed a sustainable complete response to the regimen. To date, there have been no serious toxic side effects. As of October 2019 (the last follow-up), the patient has been in complete remission for 17 months since recurrence.

The experience of this complicated case indicates the possible application of immune checkpoint inhibitors, anti-angiogenesis agents, and cytotoxic reagents for recurrent glioblastoma. The administration of this three-agent regimen appears safe and effective. However, further clinical trials are warranted.

Despite the abundance of knowledge regarding high-altitude pulmonary edoema (HAPE) and high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH), their prevalence continues to be on the rise. Thus, there is an urgent need for newer safe, effective, and relatively economic drug candidates. China is particularly known for the use of medicinal plants.

This review summarizes the medicinal plants used for HAPE and HAPH in the past 30 years, as well as some potential plants.

Publications on HAPE and HAPH from 1990 to 2020 were identified using Web of Science, PubMed, SCOPUS, Springer Link, Google Scholar databases, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry and CNKI with the following keywords 'medicinal plants,' 'hypoxia,' 'high altitude pulmonary edema,' 'high altitude pulmonary hypertension,' 'pathophysiology,' 'mechanisms,' 'prevention,' 'treatment,' 'human,' 'clinical,' 'safety,' and 'pharmacokinetics.'

We found 26 species (from 20 families) out of 5000 plants which are used for HAPE and HAPH prevention or treatment.
Linn. (Crassulaceae) is the most widely utilized. The most involved family is Lamiaceae, which contains 5 species.

We mainly reviewed the medicinal plants and mechanisms for the treatment of HAPE and HAPH, and we also assessed related toxicology experiments, pharmacokinetics and bioavailability. selleck products Potential medicinal plants were also identified. Further research is needed to determine the pharmacological effects and active ingredients of these potential medicinal plants.

Given the range of subjective experiences reported by patients with chronic pain, Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) systems designed for tailored delivery of analgesic therapy may help improve treatment effectiveness and satisfaction.

This case-series evaluated 420 patients with chronic back and/or leg pain implanted with an SCS device capable of sequential or simultaneous delivery of neurostimulation (i.e. combination therapy) as well as multiple waveforms and/or field shapes. Following implantation, an array of standard programs (e.g. paresthesia-based SCS), and a custom set of sub-perception programs were provided per patient feedback. Pain scores (Numeric Rating Scale, NRS) were collected at baseline and during follow-up.

In this multicenter, observational series (n=420, 53.1% female; Age 64.2±13.4years), a mean overall pain score of 7.2±1.8 (SD) was reported pre-trial (Baseline). At a mean follow-up duration of 208±200 (SD) days, the mean overall pain score reduced to 2.4 (p<0.0001). Overall pain was reduced by 5.1±2.4 and 4.5±2.4 points (NRS) at 3-months (N=256) and at 12-months post-implant (N=122) respectively (p<0.0001).

These results suggest that highly 'customizable' SCS approaches may allow for highly effective pain relief within the real-world clinical setting.

Treatment of Behçet's syndrome (BS) is aimed at controlling all symptoms of such a complex disorder, ensuring a good quality of life and preventing life-threatening complications. A better understanding of the pathogenic role of different chemokines has improved our knowledge of BS and elicited a more specific use of therapies currently available, minimizing the burden of potential side-effects related to treatment.

This work aims to provide a detailed overview of the safety profile for current therapies available in the treatment of BS, focusing on the main side-effects, toxicity and contraindications.

The greatest experience in the management of BS has been achieved with the employment of monoclonal anti-tumor necrosis factor antibodies which have been advocated for BS refractory manifestations. Moreover, interleukin-1 inhibitors have proven to be effective as well as safe, despite escalation of their dosage, especially to manage the most severe and difficult-to-treat ocular manifestations. However, general treatment of BS patients remains awkward as protean clinical features may respond differently to the same treatment or even worsen.
