FUNCTIONAL AORTIC STIFFNESS:ROLE OF CD4+ T LYMPHOCYTES

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
The immune system is suggested to be essential in vascular remodeling and stiffening. To study the dependence upon lymphocytes in vascular stiffening, we compared an angiotensin II-model of vascular stiffening in normal C57BL/6J mice with lymphocyte ...

Serum Type I Interferon Score for Prediction of Clinically Meaningful Disease Progression in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess the value of serum type I interferon (IFN) score in predicting clinically meaningful progression in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) using a novel composite endpoint adopted from the MINIMISE clinical trial. Methods A retrospective, longitudinal lcSSc cohort was identified within a national, multicenter observational ...

Variability in intestinal drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters in Crohn's disease and potential impact on oral drug absorption

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims The aim of study was to generate quantitative data on the abundance of drug‐metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) in inflamed and non‐inflamed Crohn's disease (CD) ileum and colon, for incorporation into physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, enabling prediction of oral drugs' pharmacokinetics (PK) perturbation in CD patients.

Insights into new mechanosensitive behaviors of G protein-coupled receptors [PDF]

arXiv
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a diverse and vital family of membrane proteins that mediate intracellular signaling in response to extracellular stimuli, playing critical roles in physiology and disease. Traditionally recognized as chemical signal transducers, GPCRs have recently been implicated in mechanotransduction, the process of ...

Modeling of Radiation Pneumonitis after Lung Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy: A Bayesian Network Approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Background and Purpose: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung cancer accompanies a non-negligible risk of radiation pneumonitis (RP). This study presents a Bayesian network (BN) model that connects biological, dosimetric, and clinical RP risk factors.

Adverse events associated with monoclonal antibodies used for treatment of COVID‐19: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This review aimed to synthesise the evidence related to the incidence of serious and non‐serious adverse events with the use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) among COVID‐19 patients. Methods Databases were searched from January 2020 to September 2023 for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that used mAbs for the treatment of COVID‐19 regardless of ...

Individualized Treatment Effects with Censored Data via Fully Nonparametric Bayesian Accelerated Failure Time Models [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Individuals often respond differently to identical treatments, and characterizing such variability in treatment response is an important aim in the practice of personalized medicine. In this article, we describe a non-parametric accelerated failure time model that can be used to analyze heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) when patient outcomes are ...

The tacrolimus concentration‐to‐dose ratio is associated with kidney function in heart transplant recipients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Heart transplantation (HT) is frequently complicated by chronic kidney disease, of which tacrolimus‐related nephrotoxicity is an important cause. In kidney and liver transplant recipients, fast tacrolimus metabolism (defined as a low concentration‐to‐dose [C0/D] ratio), negatively affects kidney function.

Propensity scores using missingness pattern information: a practical guide [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Electronic health records are a valuable data source for investigating health-related questions, and propensity score analysis has become an increasingly popular approach to address confounding bias in such investigations. However, because electronic health records are typically routinely recorded as part of standard clinical care, there are often ...

Angiotensin II and taste sensitivity

Japanese Dental Science Review, 2015
SummaryThe sense of taste plays a major role in evaluating the quality of food components in the oral cavity. Sweet, salty, umami, sour and bitter taste are generally accepted as five basic taste qualities. Among them, salty taste is attractive to animals and influences sodium intake.
