Safely achieving long-term engraftment of genetically modified hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that maintain therapeutic transgene expression is the benchmark for successful application of gene therapy for hemoglobinopathies. We used the pigtailed macaque HSC transplantation model to ascertain the long-term safety and stability of a γ-globin lentivirus vector. We observed stable gene-modified cells and fetal hemoglobin expression for 3 years. Retrovirus integration site (RIS) analysis spanning 6 months to 3.1 years revealed vastly disparate integration profiles, and dynamic fluctuation of hematopoietic contribution from different gene-modified HSC clones without evidence for clonal dominance. There were no perturbations of the global gene-expression profile or expression of genes within a 300 kb region of RIS, including genes surrounding the most abundantly marked clones. Overall, a 3-year long follow-up revealed no evidence of genotoxicity of the γ-globin lentivirus vector with multilineage polyclonal hematopoiesis, and HSC clonal fluctuations that were not associated with transcriptome dysregulation.

Association of long-term weight management pharmacotherapy with multiple health outcomes: an umbrella review and evidence map.

Background: Multiple meta-analyses (MAs) have demonstrated that six pharmacotherapies, including orlistat, liraglutide, phentermine/topiramate, naltrexone/bupropion, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, improve weight loss and weight maintenance. However, few studies have synthesized and evaluated the quality of this evidence.
Objective: To identify the relevant MAs of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that explored the association between the six pharmacotherapies and obesity-related health outcomes and adverse events (AEs).
Is single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass (SADI) an effective option for conversional surgery following sleeve gastrectomy? A comprehensive review and revised scope of current literature.

Background: Conversional surgery following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is required in about 20 % of patients due to suboptimal outcomes. Single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass (SADI) has emerged as an option for such cases, though long-term outcomes remain unclear. This review analyzed available data on SADI as a conversional or second-stage procedure after SG.

One of the most problematic goals for radiation safety during spaceflight is an assessment of additional doses received by astronauts during extravehicular activity (EVA). The Pille-ISS thermoluminescent dosimeter developed by the predecessor of the Hungarian Research Network (HUN-REN) Centre for Energy Research (Budapest, Hungary) is designed for the routine dose measurements not only inside the spacecraft compartments, but also for personal dosimetric control for EVA. During almost two decades of the International Space Station (ISS) operation, the unique set of 131 EVA doses were recorded in different conditions, such as: solar activity, ISS trajectory along the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), and shielding conditions provided by two kinds of spacesuits: the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) and Orlan.

Aims: Evidence supporting the prescription of anticoagulant therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been limited, and its clinical application in this context remains controversial.
Methods: We identified AF patients with advanced CKD (G4-G5) and a history of stroke who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between January 1, 2011, and June 30, 2023. Patients were classified into warfarin, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC), antiplatelet therapy, and control (no antithrombotic therapy) groups.
