Background: The infiltration of muscularis mucosa in superficial bladder cancer has been reported to be predictive of an unfavourable course of the disease.
Materials And Methods: We studied immunohistochemically Ki-67, PCNA and p53 tumour markers in 68 P1a and Pib bladder tumours.
Results: A statistically significant difference (p = 0.01) was found in the distribution of grades between stages P1a and P1b, with more grade 3 and less grade 2 tumours in the latter category. Univariate analysis revealed a strong association of Ki-67 (p = 0.001) and PCNA (p = 0.032) only with stage. P53 protein expression did not have any significant association with either stage or grade. In 60 patients entered into the multivariate analysis a clearly predominant, significant effect of stage on Ki-67 (p = 0.000) was shown.
Conclusion: Increased proliferative activity when compared to P1a is present in P1b bladder tumours, as detected by the increased expression of Ki-67 proliferating antigen. The immunohistochemical study of Ki-67 antigen may help in predicting stage P1 tumours' behaviour, even in cases where pathological distinction of P1a and P1b substages is difficult.

Background: PF-06952229 is a selective small-molecule inhibitor of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptor 1. We evaluated its antitumor activity in preclinical studies and its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in a phase I study (NCT03685591).
Patients And Methods: In vitro and in vivo preclinical studies were conducted.

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and Toxoplasma gondii can invade the central nervous system and affect its functionality. Advanced HIV-1 infection has been associated with defects in immune response to T. gondii, leading to reactivation of latent infections and development of toxoplasmic encephalitis.

Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the success of implant-assisted removable partial dentures (IARPDs) according to three types of strategic positions in distal extension areas of Kennedy Class I and II arches.
Materials And Methods: The data included 102 arches in 95 patients with Kennedy Class I/II arches treated with IARPDs with implants in three strategic positions: Type 1a, assisted by P-1a implants on the anterior area adjacent to the abutment tooth; Type 1b, assisted by P-1b implants on the anterior area apart from the abutment tooth with or without P-1a; Type 2, assisted by P-2a implants on the posterior area adjacent to the natural tooth or P-2b implants on the posterior area apart from the abutment tooth to modify from Kennedy Class I /II to Class III. The success was defined as the IARPDs without abutment tooth-related, denture-related, and implant-related complications.
Controlling the Formation of Two Concomitant Polymorphs in Hg(II) Coordination Polymers.

Controlling the formation of the desired product in the appropriate crystalline form is the fundamental breakthrough of crystal engineering. On that basis, the preferential formation between polymorphic forms, which are referred to as different assemblies achieved by changing the disposition or arrangement of the forming units within the crystalline structure, is one of the most challenging topics still to be understood. Herein, we have observed the formation of two concomitant polymorphs with general formula {[Hg(Pip)(4,4'-bipy)]·DMF} (; Pip = piperonylic acid; 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine).

Methods And Analysis: Two workstreams (W) will run in parallel. W1 will aim to develop a taxonomy of incident reporting in care homes, underpinned by structured interviews (N=150) with care home representatives, scoping review of care home incident reporting systems, and a review of incident reporting policy related to care homes.
