01). Moreover at T1 we found a significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P ≤ .001) and 24-hour proteinuria (P less then .001) compared to baseline, whereas no changes in IMT and ABI were detected. CONCLUSION The changes observed overtime after sunitinib treatment in terms of markers of early endothelial dysfunction, blood pressure, as well as in glucose/insulin metabolism and proteinuria may contribute to increase CV risk in RCC patients and suggest a strict follow-up in this setting.

Cancer Medicine published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Transition metal borides (TMBs) have recently attracted attention as excellent hydrogen evolution (HER) electrocatalysts in bulk crystalline materials. Here, we show for the first time that VB and V 3 B 4 have high electrocatalytic HER activity. Furthermore, we show that the HER activity (in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 ) increases with increasing boron chain condensation in vanadium borides Using a -23 mV overpotential decrement derived from -0.296 mV (for VB at -10 mA/cm 2 current density) and -0.273 mV (for V 3 B 4 ) we accurately predict the overpotential of VB 2 (-0.204 mV) as well as that of unstudied V 2 B 3 (-0.250 mV) and hypothetical "V 5 B 8 " (-0.227 mV). We then derived an exponential equation that predicts the overpotentials of known and hypothetical V x B y phases containing at least a boron chain. These results provide a direct correlation between crystal structure and HER activity, thus paving the way for the design of even better electrocatalytic materials through structure-activity relationships. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.We reported the clinical characteristics of a case series of 10 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) aged from 1 year to 18 years. Seven patients had contact with confirmed COVID-19 family members before onset. Fever (4 [40.0%]) and cough (3 [30.0%]) were the most common symptoms. No patient showed leucopenia and lymphopenia on admission. Pneumonia was observed in chest CT images in 5 (50.0%) patients. Five (50.0%) patients received antiviral treatment. No patient had severe complications or developed a severe illness in our study. Our study indicated that COVID-19 children present less severe symptoms and have better outcomes. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.BACKGROUND Poor patient-clinician communication around patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is a barrier to the effective management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed to develop an RA 'dashboard' that could facilitate conversations about PROs and that would be acceptable to a wide range of patients, including English and Spanish speakers and patients with adequate or limited health literacy. METHODS A diverse group of RA patients along with clinicians from two academic rheumatology clinics joined separate focus groups. We solicited feedback and made iterative changes to mock-ups of an RA dashboard that visualized PROs using a human-centred design process. We used the thematic analysis method to identify and characterize themes from the focus groups and used these insights to refine the dashboard. RESULTS We conducted six focus groups involving 25 RA patients and three groups with 11 clinicians. Patients and clinicians agreed that the dashboard could enhance communication about PROs and RA disease activity and could promote patient self-management. Patients varied in their (a) comprehension, (b) preferences for the display and features of the dashboard, and (c) desired uses for the dashboard. Clinicians expressed significant concerns about the logistics of using the dashboard in clinical practice. CONCLUSION Using principles of human-centred design, we created an RA dashboard that was well-accepted among patients and clinicians. The ability to customize the data display is important for tailoring the dashboard to patients with diverse needs and preferences. Special attention should be given to feasibility concerns voiced by clinicians. © 2020 The Authors Health Expectations published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.The levels of IGF-1 and ROS are abnormally elevated in various tumor tissues, and IGF-1 has been reported to be associated with the development and progression of inflammation in cancers. In this study, we found that IGF-1 activated NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammatory signaling via IRS-1/mPGES-1/NOX2-regulated ROS. Additionally, in the B16-F10 tumor-bearing mouse model, the number of tumors, tumor growth, invasion of tissues, and expression of proinflammatory factors in peripheral blood were significantly decreased by treatment with an inhibitor combination compared with those of the IGF-1 group. Taken together, targeting IRS-1/mPGES-1/NOX2 to inhibit inflammation related to NF-κB and NLRP3 is a potential strategy for controlling the development and progression of cancer.

Prenatal health care providers (HCPs) are important sources of health information, but not all discuss GWG with their patients. The Canadian Obesity Network's 5As (ask, assess, advise, agree, and assist) of Healthy Pregnancy Weight Gain (5As) is a tool developed to help HCPs counsel their patients on GWG. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the 5As tool on patient perceptions of GWG discussions with their HCP and to identify suggestions to improve the tool. METHODS A quasiexperimental study design was conducted whereby HCPs were trained in using the 5As tool (intervention). Patients were then queried at baseline and postintervention using an electronic questionnaire measuring patient-perceived 5As counseling. Inclusion criteria for pregnant women were (1) currently attending their first appointment with participating HCPs, (2) English-speaking, aes.Here, we investigated the biological effects of arachidonic acid (AA) in human cumulus granulosa cells (CGCs) after exposure to ASA. Cells were isolated from the follicular fluid and incubated with 0.5 mM acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and 50 µM AA. Cell viability was analyzed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. E2 and P4 levels were measured by chemiluminescence assay. Expression of genes including CYP19A1, FACN, and SCD1 was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction assay. Oxidative status was analyzed by monitoring glutathione peroxidase activity. The fatty acid profile was analyzed by the gas chromatography technique. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) in CGCs after exposure to ASA and AA. Protein levels of the estrogen receptor were studied by immunofluorescence staining. Ultrastructural changes were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy imaging. ASA treatment reduced E2 production, Cyp19a1 expression, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, and estradiol receptor expression in CGCs. The addition of AA prevented the ASA-induced E2 reduction (p  less then  .05) and expression of Cyp19a1. Moreover, AA increased the antioxidant capacity of CGCs exposed to ASA by promoting GPx activity (p  less then  .05). AA increased monounsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio compared with the ASA group (p  less then  .05). AA supplementation triggered the synthesis and secretion of PGE2 in ASA-treated CGCS (p  less then  .05). Cytoplasmic vacuolation observed in the ASA group and treatment with AA intensified vacuolation rate. The expression of the estrogen receptor was increased after AA supplementation. Data demonstrated that AA decreased the detrimental effects of ASA on human CGCs after 72 hr. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Semiconductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) recently emerge in the applications of chemical sensors, electrocatalysts, energy storage materials and electronic devices. However, trials of semiconductive MOFs for flexible electronics have yet to be implemented. Herein, we present a new generation of flexible X-ray detectors through thermoplastically dispersing a heavy metal based semiconductive MOFs ( SCU-13 ) within commercially available polymers (poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF). The semiconductive MOF based flexible detectors exhibit efficient X-ray-to-electric current conversion with enhanced charge-carrier mobility and low trap density over the pelleted devices. A superior X-ray detection sensitivity of 65.86 µCGy air -1 cm -2 is achieved, which notably outperforms the pelleted devices and more importantly the commercial flexible X-ray detectors. Furthermore, we demonstrate that MOFs based flexible detectors can be operated under multiple bending angles without deteriorating detection performance. As a further proof-of-concept, an X-ray phase contrast under bending condition is further reconstructed using a 5 × 5 pixelated MOF based imager. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.We prepared conceptually novel, fully rigid, spiro compact electron donor (Rhodamine B, lactam form)/acceptor (naphthalimide) orthogonal dyad to attain the long-lived triplet charge transfer (3CT) state, based on the electron spin control using spin-orbit charge transfer intersystem crossing (SOCT-ISC). Transient absorption (TA) spectra indicate the first charge separation (CS) takes place within 2.5 ps, subsequent SOCT-ISC takes 8 ns to produce the 3NI* state. Then the slow secondary CS (125 ns) gives the long-lived 3CT state (0.94 microseconds in deaerated n-hexane) with high energy level (ca. 2.12 eV). The cascade photophysical processes of the dyad upon photoexcitation are summarized as 1NI*-->1CT-->3NI*-->3CT. With time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) spectra, an EEEAAA electron-spin polarization pattern was observed for the naphthalimide-localized triplet state. Our spiro compact dyad structure and the electron spin-control approach is different as compared to previous methods for which invoking transition-metal coordination or chromophores with intrinsic ISC ability is mandatory. This new method of accessing long-lived 3CT states is useful for artificial photosynthesis, photovoltaics, photocatalysis and fundamental photochemistry studies. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Depending on the grade of stenosis it may be mild, moderate or severe. Most of the severe type stenosis require surgical anoplasty. There are several commonly used flap types such as Y-V, V-Y, lateral, diamond-shaped and house-type flaps [3]. Previous studies have shown a success rate of House flap of up to 90% [4].

We hypothesized that injection of a thermoresponsive hydrogel, with ROS scavenging properties, into the MI would decrease ROS and improve BZ function. Fourteen sheep underwent antero-apical MI. Seven sheep had a comb-like copolymer synthesized from N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) and 1,500 MW methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate, (NIPAAm-PEG1500), injected (20 × 0.5 mL) into the MI zone 40 minutes after MI (MI + NIPAAm-PEG1500) and seven sheep were MI controls. Cardiac MRI was performed 2 weeks before and 6 weeks after MI + NIPAAm-PEG1500. BZ wall thickness at end systole was significantly higher for MI + NIPAAm-PEG1500 (12.32 ± 0.51 mm/m2 MI + NIPAAm-PEG1500 vs. 9.88 ± 0.30 MI; p = 0.023). Demembranated muscle force development for BZ myocardium 6 weeks after MI was significantly higher for MI + NIPAAm-PEG1500 (67.67 ± 2.61 mN/m2 MI + NIPAAm-PEG1500 vs.
