Plymouth Housing is a Housing First organisation in Seattle, WA (USA) that provides far more than housing for its residents-staff are equally concerned with building community and creating a sense of belonging. The objective of this study was to interview residents about their experiences of community and collect their suggestions for improving community, building efforts within this organisation. This exploratory qualitative study was conducted across eight buildings and included 38 participants from November 2018 to February 2019. Data were collected by the researchers in the form of focus groups and individual interviews, utilising a semi-structured interview protocol. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Themes were identified by each researcher separately and then cross referenced for validity using direct quotes from participants. Five main themes emerged from the data 'really good community here'; mutual support and care; interpersonal connections; gatherings and events; lack of community. This study demonstrates that regularly held events and activities help to build community, create a sense of stability and increase familiarity and trust amongst residents. An implication of this study is the importance of actively soliciting residents' input to guide community building efforts. This is a small-scale exploratory study and although the findings are applicable to the participants' experiences, further research is needed to build on these findings in other parts of the USA as well as internationally. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.OBJECTIVE This study examined the impact of a survivorship planning consultation (SPC) for patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma and diffuses large B-cell lymphoma on quality of life (QOL). We specifically assessed two potential moderators, cancer worry and perceived empathy, of the intervention effects on QOL. METHODS This cluster randomized, four-site trial examined the efficacy of a SPC; physicians received communication skills training and applied these skills in a survivorship-focused office visit using a care plan vs a control arm in which physicians were trained to and subsequently provided a time-controlled, manualized wellness rehabilitation consultation focused only on discussion of healthy nutrition and exercise. We examined the effect of the intervention on patients' QOL and examined potential moderators-cancer worry and perceived physician empathy. RESULTS Forty-two physicians and 198 patients participated. There was no main effect of the intervention on any of the QOL dimensions (ps > 0.10). However, cancer worry was a significant moderator of the effects of the intervention on three QOL domains (physical P = .04; social P = .04; spiritual P = .01) and perceived empathy was a significant moderator of QOL (physical P = .004; psychological P = .04; social P = .01). Specifically, the beneficial effects of the intervention were more pronounced among patients who initially reported higher levels of cancer worry and lower levels of physician empathy. CONCLUSIONS This study identified two factors, perceived empathy and cancer worry, that were found to impact the QOL of patients who participated in this communication-based survivorship intervention. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ly3537982.html © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.BACKGROUND Although superpotent topical corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for oral erosive lichen planus (OELP), topical rapamycin was found efficient in a previous case series. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of topical rapamycin and betamethasone dipropionate ointment for OELP in a randomized, double-blind trial. METHODS Patients were randomized to receive treatment with betamethasone dipropionate ointment 0.05% in Orabase® or topical rapamycin solution (1 mg/mL) on lesions twice daily for 3 months, followed by 3 months of observation. The primary outcome was clinical remission after 3 months of treatment. Secondary outcomes were clinical remission after 1 and 2 months, reduced oral pain and reduced impact on food intake after 3 months, clinical recurrence after treatment withdrawal, and adverse events. RESULTS During a 4-year period, 76 patients were randomized and 75 received treatment (rapamycin, n=39; betamethasone, n=36). At 3 months, 39.4% of patients with betamethasone and 27.3% with rapamycin showed clinical remission (odds ratio 0.68, 95% CI [0.24; 1.89]; p=0.46).Rates of remission after 1 and 2 months, reduction in pain and impact on food intake after 3 months, were higher with betamethasone than rapamycin. Recurrence of oral erosions was similar between groups. Adverse events occurred in 43.6% of patients with rapamycin (mostly burning sensation, impaired taste) and 27.8% with betamethasone (mostly oral candidiasis). CONCLUSION Although the study was limited by insufficient recruitment, we did not find any superiority of topical rapamycin over betamethasone dipropionate ointment for OELP. Given the rapid remission and pain improvement in the betamethasone group, it appears that superpotent topical corticosteroids should remain the first-line treatment for OELP.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in a wide range of biological processes via their roles as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. The present study aimed to elucidate the role of LINC00324 in HCC through its interaction with Fas ligand (FasL). Initially, microarray-based gene expression profiling of HCC was employed to identify differentially expressed genes. Next, the expression of LINC00324 in HCC tissues and liver cancer stem cell (LCSC) lines was examined using RT-qPCR. Then, the interaction among LINC00324, PU box binding protein (PU.1) and FasL was identified with RIP, ChIP and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays. The effect of LINC00324 on viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis as well as the tumorigenesis of transfected cells was examined with gain- and loss-of-function experiments. LINC00324 and FasL were highly expressed in HCC.
