All three SF extracts showed a considerable antioxidant capacity, with the methanol (SFM) extract being the strongest. The results of the total phenolic and flavonoid contents (TPC and TFC) of the extracts and of the FRAP and the DCFDA assays showed a similar pattern. In addition, and most importantly, the dichloromethane (SFD) and the petroleum ether (SFP) extracts had an effect on Aβ toxicity, exhibiting a significant neuroprotective potential. To our knowledge, this is the first report of SF extracts demonstrating neuroprotective potential against Aβ toxicity. In combination with their antioxidant capacity, SF extracts may be beneficial in combating AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.Fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with connective tissue diseases (CTDs), which include systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, idiopathic inflammatory myositis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The treatment of CTD-ILDs is challenging due to the paucity of proven effective treatments. Recently, two antifibrotic drugs conditionally approved for use in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, nintedanib and pirfenidone, have been trialled in CTD-ILDs based on overlapping pathological and clinical features between the two diseases. In this narrative review, we discuss the experimental evidence and clinical trials investigating the efficacy and safety of antifibrotic drugs in patients with CTD-ILDs and the potential mechanisms of action involved. Results from clinical trials suggest that nintedanib use retards lung function decline in progressive fibrotic CTD-ILDs. By contrast, the evidence for the efficacy of pirfenidone in these groups is not equally compelling. Further, well-designed randomized clinical trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of individual antifibrotic drugs in specific CTD-ILD subgroups.Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are some of the first and most serious complications of connective tissue diseases (CTDs). However, the pathogenesis of CTD-related ILDs (CTD-ILDs) is still unclear and their treatment often depends on functional and radiographic disease progression as well as on patient age and comorbidities. It can be difficult to manage CTD-ILDs due to their heterogeneous nature, the lack of robust therapeutic data, and the few well-defined outcome measures. This review focuses on cyclophosphamide due to its crucial role in the treatment of systemic sclerosis-related ILD, particularly in the case of patients with progressive ILD. This narrative review was performed using PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Library databases to retrieve English language papers published between 2000 and April 2020 concerning the treatment of CTD-ILDs with cyclophosphamide.Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an antimetabolite with a potent inhibitory effect on proliferation of T and B lymphocytes used since the early 1990s for the prevention of acute allograft rejection after organ transplant. MMF is also widely used for the treatment of a variety of rheumatic diseases (RDs) and their pulmonary involvement. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of progressive fibrotic diseases of the lung, which is often secondary to RD and represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality. MMF is considered the main alternative to cyclophosphamide as a first-line agent to treat RD-related ILD or as possible maintenance therapy after cyclophosphamide, with a lower rate of side-effects. However, as for other immunosuppressive agents, the use of MMF in RD-ILD is supported by poor scientific evidence. In this narrative review, we describe the available data and recent advances on the effectiveness and safety of MMF for the treatment of ILD related to RD, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, primary Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, undifferentiated connective tissue disease, interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.This Editorial introduces the Special Issue on the efficacy and safety of current treatment strategies for patients with connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease, including the use of immunosuppressants, such as cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil and rituximab, and antifibrotic drugs.Interstitial lung disease (ILD) represents a severe pulmonary complication of connective tissue diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. Treatment of ILD, mainly based on immunosuppression, remains challenging. Rituximab (RTX), a monoclonal antibody binding to CD20, is considered a valuable therapeutic choice in cases of refractory ILD. Here, we review the available efficacy and safety data on the use of RTX in the treatment of rheumatic disease-related ILD. Despite controversial efficacy data, RTX seems to be able to stabilize or improve ILD related to RA and antisynthetase syndrome and in established and severe ILD complicating systemic sclerosis. Fewer data are available regarding ILD related to Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. To date, few prospective studies are available and randomized trials are still ongoing with the purpose of exploring the role of RTX in this condition, including the supposed relationship between efficacy and ILD radiologic patterns and safety data, up to now derived mainly from RA studies. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/loxo-195.html Despite an overall acceptable safety profile, concerns remain regarding an increased infectious disease risk in patients with ILD as well as possible lung toxicity and the increased rate of immune-mediated reactions in patients with connective tissue diseases. In conclusion, RTX is a relevant therapeutic option for rheumatic disease-related ILD despite the existing uncertainties; ongoing trials are expected to clarify its use. The Ethiopian government is striving to improve the health status of its population through the expansion and strengthening of primary health care services in both rural and urban settings of the country. The study aimed to measure modern health service utilization and associated factors in Wolaita Sodo town, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study design was implemented from May to June 2019 in Wolaita Sodo town, Ethiopia. All 786 study participants were selected by multistage systematic random sampling. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews using a pretested structured questionnaire. Data were collected by an open data kit. Stata window version 15.0 was also employed for statistical analysis. Multiple logistic regression was conducted, and a 95% confidence interval was considered for interpretation. Health service utilization was 77.2% with (95% CI of 74.1%, 80.0%). In terms of health facilities in which they visit, first 50.6% were at the public health center and 25.5% of them were at Teaching and Referral Hospital.
