PARP-1 plays an important role in DNA damage repair and maintaining genome integrity by repairing DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) by base excision repair (BER). The aim of the present study was to examine the expression of PARP-1 in breast cancer (BC) patients and to assess the relationship between the subcellular localization of this protein and clinicopathological characteristics. The reactivity of PARP-1 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in a homogeneous group of 83 stage II ductal BC patients with a 15-year follow-up. Immunostaining of PARP-1 was also evaluated in 4 human BC cell lines and resistance prediction profile for 11 anticancer agents was performed using 3 models of drug-resistant cell lines. Nuclear-cytoplasmic expression (NCE) was associated with shorter overall survival, which was not statistically significant during the 10-year follow-up but became statistically significant after 10 years of observation, during the 15-year follow-up (P=0.015). Analysis performed in subgroups of patients with (N+) and without (N-) nodal metastases showed that NCE was associated with poor clinical outcome in N- patients (P=0.017). Multivariate analysis confirmed a significant impact of NCE on unfavorable prognosis in N- early BC. The presence of PARP-1 NCE may be a new potential unfavorable prognostic factor in lymph node- negative early BC.

Long-Term Outcomes of the Non-Fenestrated Strategy for Extracardiac Total Cavopulmonary Connection.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Nagano Children's Hospital, Azumino, Japan.
Background: The discussion of Fontan fenestration is difficult because many institutions have different strategies over time. In our institute, we performed a non-fenestrated Fontan procedure for single-ventricular physiology as our definitive strategy.
Methods: Between August 1999 and December 2007, 72 consecutive patients with single-ventricle physiology underwent extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection without fenestration as our definitive strategy.
Provided and received positive and negative social control, relationship satisfaction, and sedentary behavior in parent-child dyads.
Ann Behav Med
January 2025
Wroclaw Faculty of Psychology, SWPS University, Ostrowskiego 30b5, 53-238 Wroclaw, Poland.
Background: The close relationship processes and health model and the dyadic health influence model posit that relationship beliefs (eg, relationship satisfaction) and influence strategies (eg, provision and receipt of positive and negative social control) mediate health behavior change. However, evidence for such mediation in parent-child dyads is limited.
Purpose: Two complementary mediation hypotheses were tested: (1) social control forms indirect relationships with sedentary behavior (SB), via relationship satisfaction acting as a mediator; and (2) relationship satisfaction forms indirect relationships with SB, with social control operating as a mediator.
Long-term complications, survival and mortality in splenectomised adult transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients.
Transfus Apher Sci

Department of Clinical Hematology and Medical Oncology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India.
Background: Splenectomy is frequently performed in transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) patients to lower blood transfusion needs but is associated with significant long-term complications, including sepsis, thrombosis, and pulmonary hypertension. This study examines the long-term complications, survival rates, and causes of mortality among adult patients with TDT who have undergone splenectomy in a low and middle-income country (LMIC).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 103 adult TDT patients (≥18 years) who underwent splenectomy between July 2013 and March 2024.
Unipolar mania over the course of a 15-year follow-up study.
Psychiatry Res
December 2024
the Seventh People's Hospital of Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
Objective: A proportion of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) manifests with only Unipolar mania (UM). We conducted a follow-up study of patients diagnosed with Unipolar mania and compared them as a group if they had a mild depressive episode with those who did not.
Method: 248 subjects were prospectively followed-up to 15 years.

Purpose: The present study examined the influence of endurance training on the morphological and functional heart adaptations in young athletes throughout a longitudinal 9-month follow-up period during the adolescent peak height velocity (PHV).
Methods: Thirty-six 13- to 15-year-old males (twenty-three triathletes and thirteen untrained peers) were evaluated before and after a 9-month period during PHV. Maximal oxygen uptake ( ) and power at were assessed during incremental cycling test.
