  • Cendakimab is a treatment that targets and inhibits interleukin-13 (IL-13), which plays a role in the development of atopic dermatitis (AD), and is being studied for its effectiveness in treating this condition compared to a placebo.
  • A phase 2 clinical trial involved 221 adult participants with moderate to severe AD who had not responded well to topical treatments, with patients receiving different doses of cendakimab or a placebo from May 2021 to November 2022.
  • Results showed that the highest dose of cendakimab (720 mg, once weekly) significantly improved eczema symptoms compared to placebo, while other dosages did not achieve statistical significance, indicating potential for cend

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can influence the proliferation, autophagy, and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). LncRNAs also emerge as valuable prognostic factors for NSCLC patients. Consequently, we set out to discover more autophagy-associated lncRNAs.

Unlabelled: Type-IV radio bursts have been studied for over 50 years. However, the specifics of the radio emission mechanisms is still an open question. In order to provide more information about the emission mechanisms, we studied a moving Type-IV radio burst with fine structures (spike group) by using the high-resolution capability of the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) on August 25, 2014.

Background: Ephedrine increased blood pressure due to the contractile properties of resistance vessels. Excessive contraction of the uterine arteries might cause fetal distress. This study was to determine the diameter of the uterine artery of female New Zealand rabbits after the administration of different doses of ephedrine using CT.

Ozanimod is approved for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Absorption, metabolism, and excretion of ozanimod were investigated after a single oral dose of 1.0 mg [C]ozanimod hydrochloride to six healthy subjects.

Ozanimod, approved by regulatory agencies in multiple countries for the treatment of adults with relapsing multiple sclerosis, is a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, which binds with high affinity selectively to S1P receptor subtypes 1 and 5. The relationships between plasma concentrations of ozanimod and its major active metabolites, CC112273 and CC1084037, and the QTc interval (C-QTc) from a phase I multiple-dose study in healthy subjects were analyzed using nonlinear mixed effects modeling. QTc was modeled linearly as the sum of a sex-related fixed effect, baseline, and concentration-related random effects that incorporated interindividual and residual variability.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on understanding the pharmacokinetics (how the drug is processed in the body) of ozanimod's active metabolites and how it interacts with pseudoephedrine (PSE).
  • Conducted as a phase 1 trial, 56 healthy volunteers received varying doses of ozanimod for 30 days, followed by a single dose of PSE to assess blood pressure changes and drug interactions.
  • Results showed that ozanimod and its metabolites significantly contributed to drug exposure, but their combined use with PSE did not affect blood pressure or PSE's pharmacokinetics, indicating they were well-tolerated together.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to explore the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ozanimod's major metabolites and how certain drugs (gemfibrozil, itraconazole, and rifampin) affect its PK in healthy individuals.
  • - In a phase 1 trial, subjects received single doses of ozanimod (0.46 mg and 0.92 mg) under different conditions: with or without the aforementioned drugs, to assess their influence on the drug's absorption and metabolism.
  • - Results showed that ozanimod and its metabolites displayed dose-dependent increases in concentration, with itraconazole slightly enhancing and rifampin reducing ozanimod's overall exposure, indicating the complex interactions at play in its metabolism.

Objective: To explore the effect of miR106a on the growth of breast cancer xenografts and the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic agents.

Methods: Breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB231 and MCF7) were transfected with an miR106 mimic and miR106a inhibitor. BALB/c female nude mice were selected to construct a transplanted-tumor model.

Background: Four-factor prothrombin complex concentrates (4F-PCCs) have been approved for urgent vitamin K antagonist reversal in Western countries for many years. Ethnicity and genetic variations between populations may influence the pharmacokinetic profile of 4F-PCC treatments.

Objective: To report plasma levels of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors and proteins C and S in Japanese patients following administration of a 4F-PCC approved recently in Japan.

Hospital acquired complications (HACs) are serious problems affecting modern day healthcare institutions. It is estimated that HACs result in an approximately 10% increase in total inpatient hospital costs across US hospitals. With US hospital spending totaling nearly $900 billion per annum, the damages caused by HACs are no small matter.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are the leading cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), and the C allele of JAK2 rs4495487 was reported to be an additional candidate locus that contributed to MPNs. In the present study, we examined the role of JAK2 rs4495487 in the etiology and clinical presentation of Chinese BCS patients. 300 primary BCS patients and 311 healthy controls were enrolled to evaluate the association between JAK2 rs4495487 polymorphism and risk of BCS.

Objective: Venous thromboembolism is a common complex disorder, being the resultant of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is a proinflammatory cytokine which has been implicated in venous thromboembolism risk. A promoter 308G/A polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene has been suggested to modulate the risk for venous thromboembolism.

Background: Supporting clinical decision support for personalized medicine will require linking genome and phenome variants to a patient's electronic health record (EHR), at times on a vast scale. Clinico-genomic data standards will be needed to unify how genomic variant data are accessed from different sequencing systems.

Methods: A specification for the basis of a clinic-genomic standard, building upon the current Health Level Seven International Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) standard, was developed.

Objectives: We assessed the safety and efficacy of right versus left laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy. Few clinical controlled studies have compared the right and left side, and most trials have a small sample number and varied results. A meta-analysis of published trials was performed to determine the effects of the 2 different approaches.

The association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms and venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in the Chinese population has been widely reported, but results were inconsistent and underpowered. To elucidate the variable results, a meta-analysis and systematic review were performed from all case-controlled studies relating MTHFR C677T polymorphism by pooling data on them. We estimated the pooled odds ratio with its 95% confidence intervals to assess this possible association.
