How neuraxial labor analgesia differs by approach: dural puncture epidural as a novel option

Abstract

Background and aim

Neuraxial analgesia techniques are not limited to just standard epidural and CSE blocks. A novel approach called dural puncture epidural (DPE) which is a modification of CSE in terms of practice has gained popularity after its description and use in the obstetric population.  The aim of this review is to address the practice of DPE technique as a novel option by reviewing its benefits as well as side and/or adverse effects and to understand how neuraxial labor analgesia differs by approach based on the information available in the current literature

Discussion

Despite controversies and concerns, more rapid onset of analgesia, early bilateral sacral analgesia, lower incidence of asymmetric block and fewer maternal and fetal side effects are provided with DPE when compared to epidural.

Conclusion

DPE offers a favorable risk–benefit ratio for management of neuraxial analgesia as a novel option.

The internal nasal valve: a validated grading system and operative guide

Abstract

Purpose

Nasal obstruction is a highly subjective and commonly reported symptom. The internal nasal valve (INV) is the rate limiting step to nasal airflow. A static INV grading score was devised with regard to visibility of the middle turbinate.

Methods

A prospective study of all patients who underwent primary external functional septorhinoplasty in 2017 for nasal obstruction. All patients' INV score was assessed pre- and postoperatively in a blinded and independent fashion by surgeons of varying seniority.

Results

Twenty-eight patients were studied, with mean age 30.9 years and follow-up 18.8 weeks. Inter-rater and test–retest reliability of INV grading were excellent, with Cronbach's alpha 0.936 and 0.920, respectively. There was also statistically significant improvement in both subjective and objective postoperative outcome measures including nasal inspiratory peak flows.

Conclusions

We demonstrate a novel, easy to interpret, clinically valuable grading system of the static internal nasal valve that is reliable and reproducible.

Role and Mechanism of the Nod-Like Receptor Family Pyrin Domain-Containing 3 Inflammasome in Oral Disease

Publication date: Available online 6 October 2018

Source: Archives of Oral Biology

Author(s): Kejia Lv, Guohua Wang, Chenlu Shen, Xia Zhang, Hua Yao

Abstract
Objective

To summarize evidence and data from experimental studies regarding the role and mechanism of the Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in the pathogenesis of several representative oral diseases.

Materials and methods

A literature search of PubMed and EBSCO was performed. The literature was searched using a combination of keywords, e.g., NLRP3 inflammasome, inflammation, microorganisms, oral inflammatory diseases, and oral immunological diseases.

Results

The initiation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome are associated with the pathogenesis and progression of several representative oral diseases, including periodontitis, oral lichen planus, dental pulp disease, and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.

Conclusions

The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a crucial role in the progression of inflammatory and adaptive immune responses. The possible role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in several oral diseases, including not only periodontitis and pulpitis but also mucosal diseases and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, may involve the aberrant regulation of inflammatory and immune responses. Understanding the cellular and molecular biology of the NLRP3 inflammasome is necessary because the NLRP3 inflammasome may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention of oral inflammatory and immunological diseases.

Carcinogenic epithelial-mesenchymal transition initiated by oral cancer exosomes is inhibited by anti-EGFR antibody cetuximab

Abstract

Overexpression and increased signaling from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) often changes oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and thus EGFR is frequently targeted molecularly by the therapeutic antibody cetuximab. We assessed the roles of OSCC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes in the trafficking of cetuximab and in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of epithelial cells. OSCC cells abundantly expressed EGFR, which was secreted from cells with OSCC-EVs upon EGF stimulations. The OSCC-EGFR-EVs were then able to enter into and transform epithelial cells leading to increased mesenchymal traits with increased vimentin and spindle-like shapes. EGF priming of OSCC cells further increased this EMT-initiating effect of the OSCC-EVs. The internalization and pro-EMT effects of the OSCC-EVs were largely blocked by cetuximab. Thus, OSCC-derived EVs transform normal epithelial cells into a mesenchymal phenotype and anti-EGFR therapeutic antibody cetuximab inhibits such a carcinogenic effect of the OSCC-EVs.

Œdème palpébral induit par le pemetrexed (Alminta®)

Publication date: Available online 5 October 2018

Source: Annales de Dermatologie et de Vénéréologie

Author(s): A. Badaoui, E. Mahé

Résumé
Introduction

Les œdèmes palpébraux induits par les médicaments sont rares. Nous rapportons une observation de patient ayant développé ce type d'œdème sous chimiothérapie.

Observation

Un homme de 56 ans consultait pour un œdème bilatéral des paupières inférieures apparu 6 mois plus tôt, après trois cycles de pemetrexed-carboplatine prescrits pour un adénocarcinome bronchique avec métastases cérébrales. L'œdème, indolore et non prurigineux, était de consistance molle et s'aggravait progressivement. En l'absence d'autre cause, le diagnostic d'œdèmes dus au pemetrexed était retenu. Compte tenu de son efficacité, et avec l'accord du patient, ce traitement était néanmoins maintenu.

Discussion

Les œdèmes palpébraux secondaires aux injections de pemetrexed sont rares ; à ce jour, seuls 22 cas en ont été rapportés dans la littérature. Il convient donc d'éliminer tous les diagnostics différentiels avant de conclure à ce diagnostic. La physiopathologie est inconnue. Certains auteurs avancent une hypothèse identique aux œdèmes sous docetaxel : fuite capillaire protéique entraînant des œdèmes cutanés et sous-cutanés et des épanchements non tumoraux. D'autres traitements tels que des inhibiteurs de tyrosine kinase (imatinib et nilotinib) ou des inhibiteurs de mTOR (sirolimus) peuvent également induire des œdèmes palpébraux. Un cas d'excision chirurgicale des tissus palpébraux lymphœdémateux a été décrit, avec un bon résultat à 6 mois de suivi.

Summary
Background

Drug-induced eyelid edemas are rare. Herein, we describe a patient who developed this type of edema under chemotherapy.

Patients and methods

A 56-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension and adenocarcinoma of the lung with brain metastases consulted for incipient non-itchy eyelid edema with progressive worsening. The swelling occurred after 3 cycles of pemetrexed-carboplatin. There was no evidence of any other cause of edema. A diagnosis of pemetrexed-induced eyelid edema was made. Given the efficacy of this treatment and the patient's consent thereto, it was maintained.

Discussion

Palpebral edemas secondary to pemetrexed are very rare, with only 22 published cases in the literature. Other differential diagnoses must be ruled out before considering this etiology. The pathogenesis of eyelid edema remains unknown. One hypothesis is capillary protein leakage inducing swelling in soft tissue and non-malignant effusion, as has been suggested for docetaxel. Other agents such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (imatinib and nilotinib) and mTOR inhibitors (sirolimus) may also cause eyelid edema. Treatment of eyelid edema is difficult and one case of surgical treatment has been published with good results and no recurrence after 6 months.

The relationship between autophagy, increased neutrophil extracellular traps formation and endothelial dysfunction in chronic kidney disease

Publication date: Available online 6 October 2018

Author(s): Jwa-Kyung Kim, Mi Jin Park, Hoi Woul Lee, Hyung Seok Lee, Sun Ryoung Choi, Young Rim Song, Hyung Jik Kim, Hyeong-Cheon Park, Sung Gyun Kim

Abstract

In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the number of circulating neutrophils are increased, and this is usually accompanied by an increased basal activation state. However, the possible association between neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) with vascular complications has not been evaluated. We assessed the relationship between NETs, autophagy and endothelial dysfunction in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. NET formation, neutrophil elastase (NE) activities, and serum nucleosome levels were measured in MHD (n = 60) and controls (n = 20). Basal NET formation were markedly increased in MHD patient compared to controls. After PMA stimulation, MHD neutrophils showed significantly increased NETs formation response than controls. The degree of NETs was strongly associated with lower flow-mediated dilatation(%) of brachial artery even after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors and uremic toxins. Moreover, MHD neutrophils showed increased basal autophagy activity. Interestingly, the levels of NETs were markedly augmented after autophagy inhibition, suggesting a protective role of autophagy in excessive NET formation.

Abstract

Morphological change that includes diffuse effacement of podocyte foot processes is correlated with proteinuria in patients with lupus nephritis (LN). We collected the data of clinico-pathological parameters and assessed foot process width (FPW) as an index of podocyte effacement in 73 patients with LN who had undergone renal biopsy. The multivariate analysis revealed that female gender (OR: 5.288; 95%CI: 1.197–37.29; p = .0267) and FPW (OR = 0.999, 95%CI = 0.997–0.999, p = .0150) were significantly predictive of a complete renal response (CR) at 6 months, while lymphocyte counts (OR = 1.002; 95%CI = 1.001–1.003, p = .0028) and FPW (OR = 0.998, 95%CI = 0.996–0.999, p = .0027) were significantly predictive of CR at 12 months. The cut-off point determined by the Classification and Regression Trees algorithm showed that FPW <908.3 nm provides the best performance for predicting patients who achieve CR at 12 months. A smaller FPW appears to be a predictive factor for CR at 6 and 12 months after induction therapy.

Fra-2 is a novel candidate drug target expressed in the podocytes of lupus nephritis

Publication date: Available online 5 October 2018

Source: Clinical Immunology

Author(s): Changliang Xu, Yunjie Miao, Qingmeng Pi, Shoucao Zhu, Furong Li

Abstract

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common and devastating complication caused by systemic lupus erythematosus. In this study, we evaluated the expression and mechanism of Fos-related antigen 2 (Fra-2) in LN. The results showed that Fra-2 was significantly increased in kidney biopsies of LN patients compared with healthy controls and other kidney disease in glomerular podocytes. The MRL/lpr mouse strain is a murine model of lupus, and it was used to study the mechanisms of Fra-2 in LN. The results showed that Fra-2 was expressed in the glomerular podocytes. We investigated the effects of inflammatory stimuli on Fra-2 protein expression in the glomerular podocytes, and found that interferon gamma was most effective at increasing Fra-2 protein expression. Knockdown of Fra-2 using siRNA enhanced the protein expression of nephrin. Therefore, Fra-2 may be a specific drug target for podocyte injury in LN.

Abstract
Background

Pteridines are metabolites of tetrahydrobiopterin, which serves as co-enzyme of nitric oxide synthase. We sought to investigate the usefulness of pteridines as biomarkers for childhood asthma control.

Methods

We conducted a single-center prospective cohort study involving 168 asthmatic children aged 4–17 years who visited the periodical asthma checkup program. Serum neopterin and biopterin levels were measured as pteridines at each visit along with measurement of FeNO, respiratory function tests, nasal eosinophil test, blood eosinophil count, and IgE level. We calculated coefficients for relation between pteridines and asthma control, which was assessed by questionnaires (JPAC: Japanese Pediatric Asthma Control Program).

Results

A total of 168 participants aged 10.3 ± 3.39 years (mean ± SD) with asthma were recruited. The participants in this study contained 58 patients (34.5%) of complete-controlled based on JPAC, 132 patients (76.0%) of well-controlled group based on GINA. FeNO and serum neopterin level did not correlate with following period's JPAC scores. In contrast, serum biopterin level significantly correlated with following period's JPAC total score (Coefficients 0.398; 95% CI 0.164 to 0.632; p value 0.001) and frequency of wheezing during exercise (Coefficients 0.272; 95% CI 0.217 to 0.328; p value < 0.001).

Conclusions

We found serum biopterin effected the following period's control status of asthmatic children, thus monitoring biopterin level will be a useful for management of asthma to adjust treatment.

Abstract
Background

Acute otitis media is a common illness in children under-five years of age and associated with major health care resources in high-income countries. However, there is paucity of data on its epidemiology and clinical presentation in low-income countries. We estimated the prevalence of otitis media and assessed risk factors among children in Cameroon.

Methods

A community-based cross-sectional prevalence study of otitis media (OM) was performed on randomly selected children aged 2–3 years in Yaoundé, Cameroon from March to June 2013. OM was assessed by clinical inspection for chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and tympanometry for otitis media with effusion (OME). CSOM was defined as draining of the middle ear with duration of more than two weeks and OME was defined as a flat 'type B' tympanogram.

Results

Out of 529 children enrolled in the study, 433 (56% males) subjects with available tympanograms were evaluated. Altogether, 9.7% (42/433) of children met the case definition of CSOM, OME or its complications. This consisted of 3 (0.7%) children identified with unilateral CSOM; 7 (1.6%) children with bilateral OME; 31 (7.2%) with unilateral OME and 1 (0.2%) subject with unilateral dry tympanic membrane perforation.

Logistic regression analyses showed statistically significant association between OM and parental reporting of "current symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections", Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) = 3.71; 95% CI = 1.69–8.14).

Conclusion

As many as two out of a hundred children between the ages of 2–3 years were affected by significant middle ear disease i.e. CSOM or bilateral OME. These data could be useful as a baseline for estimating the impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV13) introduced in July 2011 for infants in Cameroon.

Angiotensin II-mediated suppression of synaptic proteins in mouse hippocampal neuronal HT22 cell was inhibited by propofol: role of calcium signaling pathway

Abstract

Purpose

Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been shown to be involved in neurological disorders. Propofol demonstrated neuroprotective effects in neurons.

Methods

Mouse hippocampal HT22 cells were pre-treated with propofol, followed by Ang II treatment. The expression of synaptic proteins (synapsin I and PSD95) was examined. The effects of propofol on Ang II-induced NADPH oxidase expression and superoxide anion generation were examined. The effects of propofol on intracellular calcium concentration, the activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), and protein kinase C (PKC) were measured.

Results

Ang II reduced the expression of synapsin I and PSD95, which was attenuated by propofol. Ang II-induced effects were blocked by Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1 receptor) blocker. Ang II induced the expression of NADPH oxidase and caused superoxide anion accumulation, which were attenuated by propofol. In addition, propofol induced intracellular calcium concentration, and activated CaMKII as well as PKCβ. Importantly, the Ang II-mediated effects were diminished by α-tocopherol, and the propofol-mediated effects were alleviated by calcium chelator, CaMKII inhibitor, and PKCβ inhibitor.

Conclusion

Ang II, via AT1 receptor, induced oxidative stress and reduced the expression of synapsin I and PSD95 in HT22 cells. Propofol may increase synapsin I and PSD95 expression by inhibiting oxidative stress and stimulating calcium signaling pathway.
