BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder is among the most burdening and costly chronic health hazards. Since its prognosis is poor and treatment effectiveness is moderate at best, prevention would be the strategy of first choice. Insomnia may be the best modifiable risk factor. Insomnia is highly prevalent (4-10%) and meta-analysis estimates ±13% of people with insomnia to develop depression within a year. Among people with insomnia, recent work identified three subtypes with a particularly high lifetime risk of depression. The current randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluates the effects of internet-guided Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Chronobiological Therapy (CT), and their combination on insomnia and the development of depressive symptoms. METHODS We aim to include 120 participants with Insomnia Disorder (ID) of one of the three subtypes that are more prone to develop depression. In a two by two factorial repeated measures design, participants will be randomized to CBT-I, CT, CBT-I + CT or treatment as usual, and followed up for one year. The primary outcome is the change, relative to baseline, of the severity of depressive symptoms integrated over four follow-ups spanning one year. Secondary outcome measures include a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, insomnia severity, sleep diaries, actigraphy, cost-effectiveness, and brain structure and function. DISCUSSION Pre-selection of three high-risk insomnia subtypes allows for a sensitive assessment of the possibility to prevent the development and worsening of depressive symptoms through interventions targeting insomnia. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Beta-Sitosterol.html TRIAL REGISTRATION Netherlands Trial Register (NL7359). Registered on 19 October 2018.BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant therapy plus oesophagectomy has been accepted as the standard treatment for patients with potentially curable locally advanced oesophageal cancer. No completed randomized controlled trial (RCT) has directly compared neoadjuvant chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiation in patients with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of the current RCT is to investigate the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus surgery on overall survival for patients with resectable locally advanced ESCC. METHODS This open label, single-centre, phase III RCT randomized patients (cT2-T4aN + M0 and cT3-4aN0M0) in a 11 fashion to receive either the CROSS regimen (paclitaxel 50 mg/m2; carboplatin (area under the curve = 2), q1w, 5 cycles; and concurrent radiotherapy, 41.4 Gy/23 F, over 5 weeks) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel 175 mg/m2; and cisplatin 75 mg/m2, q21d, 2 cycles). Assuming a 12% 5-year overall survival difference in favour of the CROSS regimen, 80% power with a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 and a 5% dropout each year for an estimated 3 years enrolment, the power calculation requires 456 patients to be recruited (228 in each group). The primary endpoint is 5-year overall survival, with a minimum 5-year follow-up. The secondary endpoints include 5-year disease-free survival, toxicity, pathological complete response rate, postoperative complications, postoperative mortality and quality of life. A biobank of pre-treatment and resected tumour tissue will be built for translational research in the future. DISCUSSION This RCT directly compares a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen with a standard CROSS regimen in terms of overall survival for patients with locally advanced ESCC. The results of this RCT will provide an answer for the controversy regarding the survival benefits between the two treatment strategies. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04138212, date of registration October 24, 2019.BACKGROUND Anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery (AAOLCA) from the right aortic sinus is a rare congenital anomaly associated with significantly increased risk of myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. This refers specifically to AAOLCA associated with interarterial and/or intramural course. Much less is known about anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right aortic sinus associated with a subpulmonic intramyocardial course. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 12 year old girl who complained of recurrent episodes of chest pain lasting for some minutes and not associated to exercise. Echocardiography revealed AAOLCA from the right aortic sinus taking a subpulmonic course within the conal septum. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT-scan and selective coronary angiography. Treadmill test, Holter-ECG and bicycle-stress echocardiography revealed no evidence of myocardial ischemia reflecting unimpaired diastolic flow in the left coronary artery. According to the nature of the complaints and in the absence of signs of myocardial ischemia the episodes of chest pain were classified as idiopathic and not associated to the coronary anomaly. We opted for a conservative approach with regular follow-up visits. During a follow-up of 2 years without restriction of sports activities the patient has been asymptomatic. CONCLUSION According to the literature AAOLCA with subpulmonary intramyocardial course appears to be associated with significantly less clinical problems than AAOLCA taking an interarterial course. The diagnosis can be suspected based on echocardiography and confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Until now there are only few data concerning the natural history and incidence of complications in this specific anomaly. Despite the probably benign nature we recommend regular follow-up examinations including stress-testing in these patients.BACKGROUND Congenital tufting enteropathy (CTE) is a rare disease that manifests as intractable diarrhea during the neonatal period which is associated with mutations of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) gene. CASE PRESENTATION A male infant who presented with vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distention, malnutrition and growth failure was admitted to our department when he was 2 months old. His parents were healthy and nonconsanguineous. Etiologic examinations of stool, inflammatory markers, blood gas and electrolytes levels, serum albumin level, serum immunoglobin levels were all normal. And there was no indication for metabolic diseases. Additionally, gastrointestinal contrast did not reveal abnormality of gastrointestinal. The patient was diagnosed with intestinal malabsorptive syndrome and severe malnutrition without definite cause. He was on supportive treatment and nutritional therapy for 13 months. However, he did not gain weight obviously. He was discharged at the age of 15 months and was fed with partial hydrolyzed formula and rice paste at home.
