BACKGROUND The development of a biological based small diameter vascular graft (d less then 6 mm), that can be properly stored over a long time period at - 196 °C, in order to directly be used to the patients, still remains a challenge. In this study the decellularized umbilical arteries (UAs) where vitrified, evaluated their composition and implanted to a porcine model, thus serving as vascular graft. METHODS Human UAs were decellularized using 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) detergents. Then, vitrified with vitrification solution 55 (VS55) solution, remained for 6 months in liquid nitrogen and their extracellular matrix composition was compared to conventionally cryopreserved UAs. Additionally, total hydroxyproline, sulphated glycosaminoglycan and DNA content were quantified in all samples. Finally, the vitrified umbilical arteries implanted as common carotid artery interposition graft to a porcine animal model. RESULTS Decellularized and vitrified UAs characterized by proper preservation of extracellular matrix proteins and tissue architecture, whereas conventionally cryopreserved samples exhibited a disorganized structure. Total hydroxyproline content was preserved, although sulphated glycosaminoglycan and DNA contents presented significantly alterations in all samples. Implanted UAs successfully recellularized and remodeled as indicated by the histological analysis. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/l-glutamic-acid-monosodium-salt.html CONCLUSION Decellularized and vitrified UAs retained their structure function properties and can be possible used as an alternative source for readily accessible small diameter vascular grafts.PURPOSE OF REVIEW Movement retraining in rehabilitation is the process by which a motor program is changed with the overall goal of reducing pain or injury risk. Movement retraining is an important component of interventions to address patellofemoral pain. The purpose of this paper is to review the methods and results of current retraining studies that are aimed at reducing symptoms of patellofemoral pain. RECENT FINDINGS The majority of studies reviewed demonstrated some improvement in patellofemoral pain symptoms and overall function. However, the degree of improvement as well as the persistence of improvement over time varied between studies. The greatest pain reduction and persistent changes were noted in those studies that incorporated a faded feedback design including between 8 and 18 sessions over 2-6 weeks, typically 3-4 sessions per week. Additionally, dosage in these studies increased to 30-45 min during later sessions, resulting in 177-196 total minutes of retraining. In contrast, pain reductions and persistence of changes were the least in studies where overall retraining volume was low and feedback was either absent or continual. Faulty movement patterns have been associated with patellofemoral pain. Studies have shown that strengthening alone does not alter these patterns, and that addressing the motor program is needed to effect these changes. Based upon the studies reviewed here, retraining faulty patterns, when present, appears to play a significant role in addressing patellofemoral pain. Therefore, movement retraining, while adhering to basic motor control principles, should be part of a therapist's intervention skillset when treating patients with PFP.The holotropic mind perspective, an integral part of the framework of transpersonal psychology, has been considered a revolutionary approach to a certain spectrum of experiences in Non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSC) which conventional approaches tend to treat indiscriminately as pathological processes, because PHM recognizes in these experiences their healing and evolutionary potential. This article describes the needs assessment, implementation, and evaluation of an experiential and educational program on the holotropic mind perspective and its praxis, Holotropic Breathwork® (HB), with students and professionals from the Group for Early Intervention in First-Episode Mental Crisis of a Psychotic Type of the University of Brasilia. The intervention aimed to establish change goals and objectives that would promote the adoption of the holotropic mind perspective's elements, such as a framework to broaden and strengthen mental health programs that assist people experiencing NOSC. The stages developed, inspired by the Intervention Mapping protocol, included a needs assessment; elaboration of change objective matrices; selection and description of methods based on theory and their applications; conception, planning, and implementation of the intervention; and results evaluation. Participants reported that the intervention allowed the expansion of their theoretical-conceptual and technical frameworks, giving them a less pathologizing understanding of and approach to NOSC and allowing them to perceive and manage such states, not as indiscriminately pathological expressions, but as phenomena inherent to the human condition that can be accepted and cared for without the exclusionary and exhaustive bias of mental disorders. Limitations and practical implications are discussed.BACKGROUND Previously, we demonstrated that treatment with gefitinib combined with pemetrexed plus carboplatin chemotherapy improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared to gefitinib or chemotherapy alone in lung adenocarcinoma patients with sensitizing EGFR mutations. OBJECTIVE In the present study, we updated the long-term overall survival (OS) of the combination therapy and the gefitinib groups. Furthermore, the possible mechanisms underlying the effects of combination therapy were investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring sensitizing EGFR mutations received either gefitinib plus chemotherapy (n = 40) or gefitinib alone (n = 41), and long-term survival was assessed. The pharmacological interaction between gefitinib and pemetrexed was evaluated in the PC-9 lung adenocarcinoma cell line using a colorimetric assay for assessing cell metabolic activity (MTT assay). The influence of combined treatment with gefitinib plus pemetrexed on gene expression profiles and signaling pathways was investigated using microarrays and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA).
