Stoichiometric Binding of Cyclophilin‐A to The HIV‐1 Capsid Modulates Its Mechanoelastic Properties

Small, EarlyView.
The HIV‐1 capsid is a protein nanocapsule that must balance rigidity and flexibility to enter the cell nucleus. Atomic force microscopy simulations reveal that binding of the host protein Cyclophilin A tunes this mechanical response: partial coverage preserves deformability, while excessive binding induces brittleness and failure.

Epiphora: A Structured Diagnostic Approach for the Otolaryngologist

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Epiphora, or excessive tearing, has historically been predominantly managed by ophthalmologists. However, as there is substantial overlap between ophthalmic and otolaryngologic anatomy and pathology that may contribute to epiphora, patients with this symptom often present to otolaryngologists as well.

Cyclosporin analogues : potential HIV inhibitors and water-soluble prodrug systems [PDF]

, 2004
Cyclosporins are a family of hydrophobic cyclic undecapeptides produced by the fungus Tolypocladium niveum. The main metabolite cyclosporin A (CsA, see Scheme, R = R' = H) is the first line drug currently used to prevent rejection of organ transplants ...

Heart transplants for patients with Chagas' heart disease

São Paulo Medical Journal
The role of heart transplants for treating Chagas' heart disease is not quite clear. Immunosuppression could lead to resurgence of T. cruzi infection with acute or chronic damage to the allograft. There are few publications regarding this issue.

Systemic Treatment of Psoriasis: Current Evidence on Efficacy and Safety

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systemic treatments for moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis have been advanced from broad immunosuppressants up to agents more selectively targeting cytokines, cytokine receptors, or intracellular signaling. The current systemic treatments mainly consist of conventional systemic agents, biologics targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α ...

Myeloablative Busulfan, Fludarabine and Melphalan Conditioning for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Childhood Myeloid Malignancy

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
We report our single‐center experience of transplant outcomes with a busulfan, fludarabine and melphalan‐based conditioning regimen for children < 18 years of age. The regimen was shown to be well tolerated and effective for heavily pretreated children with high‐risk myeloid malignancies prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Solution conformations of tripeptides and cyclosporins using vibrational circular dichroism and computational methods

, 2001
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy was used to investigate the solution conformations of a series of protected tripeptides, Z-Ala-Phe-Val-OMe and Z-Ala-Leu-Val-OMe, of DLL, LDL, and LLL configurations, in CCl 4 solutions, at temperatures ...

ANZTCT cytomegalovirus practice survey for allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplant and cellular therapy recipients in Australia and New Zealand

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Despite pre‐emptive treatment (PeT), cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease and reactivation remain a clinical concern. In Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), variability exists in the management of CMV for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients.

Risk Factors and Management of Gingival Enlargement: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify risk factors/indicators of gingival enlargement (GE) and to summarise evidence for its management. Methods A systematic review was undertaken following PRISMA guidelines and divided into PECOTS and PICOTS questions, related to risk factors/indicators and treatment studies, respectively.
