Evaluation of the circumferential location of mild reflux esophagitis (Grade A and B) in the lower esophagus

JGH Open, Volume 6, Issue 12, Page 864-868, December 2022., 2022
In the single lesion group, mild mucosal breaks were exclusively distributed between 2 and 7 o'clock, with 50% in the 3 o'clock direction (right lateral wall). In the multiple lesion group, mild mucosal breaks were distributed circumferentially, not uniformly; however, at least one lesion was located between 2 and 7 o'clock in 91% of subjects.

The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...

Associations of Fire Smoke and Other Pollutants With Incident Rheumatoid Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether pollutants such as fire smoke–related particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods This patient–control study used Veterans Affairs (VA) data from October 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.

Long‐Term Safety and Efficacy of Mepolizumab in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare, relapsing, inflammatory disease. Management of EGPA predominantly relies on oral corticosteroids (OCS), which are associated with many adverse effects. The phase 3 MIRRA trial demonstrated efficacy and safety of mepolizumab, anti‐interleukin‐5 biologic, for EGPA.

The role of calcium‐sensitive receptor in ovalbumin‐induced airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in juvenile mice with asthma

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 38, Issue 12, Page 1203-1212, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The role of the calcium‐sensitive receptor (CaSR) was assessed in a juvenile mouse model of asthma induced by ovalbumin (OVA). The experiment was divided into normal control, OVA, and OVA +2.5/5 mg/kg NPS2143 (a CaSR antagonist) groups.

Radiosynthesis and evaluation of a 68Ga‐labeled brominated benzamide derivative for detection of melanoma in small animals

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Malignant melanoma has the highest mortality rate among skin cancers due to its aggressiveness and metastatic potential, and early diagnosis is important because treatment options are limited. We synthesized a brominated benzamide derivative labeled with 68Ga and evaluated its biological properties as a PET imaging probe.

3D‐cultured BMSC exosomes improve cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury‐induced neuronal apoptosis by regulating the microglia polarization

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The study reveals that microglial activation significantly contributes to neuroinflammation following cerebral ischemia‐reperfusion injury. It demonstrates that utilizing GelMA hydrogel for three‐dimensional culture of bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) enhances the efficacy of BMSC‐derived exosomes in regulating microglial polarization

Local vasoregulative interventions impact drug concentrations in the skin after topical laser‐assisted delivery

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, Volume 54, Issue 10, Page 1288-1297, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction The ability of ablative fractional lasers (AFL) to enhance topical drug uptake is well established. After AFL delivery, however, drug clearance by local vasculature is poorly understood. Modifications in vascular clearance may enhance AFL‐assisted drug concentrations and prolong drug dwell time in the skin.

Immunosuppressive JAG2+ tumor‐associated neutrophils hamper PD‐1 blockade response in ovarian cancer by mediating the differentiation of effector regulatory T cells

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Tumor‐associated neutrophils (TANs) play a critical role in modulating immune responses and exhibit significant heterogeneity. Our previous study demonstrated that jagged canonical Notch ligand 2 (JAG2)+ TANs were associated with an immunosuppressive microenvironment in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), but the underlying ...
