Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of cell death and disability among young adults and lacks a successful therapeutic strategy. The multiphasic injuries of TBI severely limit the success of conventional pharmacological approaches. Recent successes with transplantation of stem cells in bioactive scaffolds in other injury paradigms provide new hope for the treatment of TBI. In this study, we transplanted neural stem cells (0.5x10(5) cells/µl) cultured in a bioactive scaffold derived from porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM; 4 injection sites, 2.5µl each) into the rat brain following controlled cortical impact (CCI, velocity, 4.0 m/sec; duration, 0.5 sec; depth, 3.2mm). We evaluated the effectiveness of this strategy to combat the loss of motor, memory and cognitive faculties. Before transplantation, compatibility experiments showed that UBM was able to support extended proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells. Together with its reported anti-inflammatory properties and rapid degradation characteristics in vivo, UBM emerged to be an ideal scaffold. The transplants reduced neuron/tissue loss and white matter injury, and also significantly ameliorated motor, memory, and cognitive impairments. Furthermore, exposure to UBM alone was sufficient to decrease the loss of sensorimotor skills from TBI (examined 3-28 days post-CCI). However, only UBMs that contained proliferating neural stem cells helped attenuate memory and cognitive impairments (examined 26-28 days post-CCI). In summary, these results demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of stem cells in bioactive scaffolds against TBI and show promise for translation into future clinical use.

Abstract
To explore aminoguanidine (AG) effect on neutrophil functions and associated signal transduction way in diabetic rats wound healing. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into 3 groups, Group A (control+burns), Group B (diabetes+burns), Group C (diabetes+burns+AG). Wound skin tissue was harvested at 6h, 24h and 36h after trauma, and then immunohistochemistry was used to detect AGE (advanced glycation end products) contents and RAGE (receptor of AGE) expression. Western blotting was applied to detect RAGE and NF-κB. Oxidative stress changes were detected by colorimetry. Inflammatory cytokines were determined by ELIASA and cell apoptosis by TUNEL. Pathological changes were analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. In the wound tissue of Group C, compared to that in Group B, AGE content, RAGE expression level, NF-κB level declined, and MPO (myeloperoxidase) decreased at 36h; TNFα, IL-8, H2O2, GSH-Px (Glutathione peroxidse), and MDA (malondialdehyde) levels increased; dense post-traumatic inflammation belt formed obviously. AG for prophylactic use can promote the migration and respiratory burst of neutrophils markedly, and help to restore the functions of neutrophil; and the abnormal secretion of inflammation cytokines can be corrected partly. Blocking AGE deposition and promoting microenvironment were effective ways for diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To conduct a retrospective analysis of the association between drug tolerability and potential economic impact measured by medical resource utilization (MRU) for prophylaxis of invasive antifungal infections (IFI) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT). METHODS An open-label, multi-center study (IMPROVIT) included patients (≥12-years old) who were randomized to receive oral voriconazole (VOR) or oral itraconazole (ITR) from the alloHCT day for at least 100 days and up to 180 days. Trial data on discontinuation and MRU for the first 100 days were analyzed. RESULTS Two hundred and twenty-four patients were in VOR and 241 in ITR, with similar demographic distributions (average age of 43 years, 58% male, 92% Caucasian). All-cause and study drug intolerance discontinuations were less frequent with VOR than ITR (50% vs 63%, p = 0.0137; 7% vs 22%, p < 0.0001). VOR patients had longer study drug exposure (median = 96 vs 68 days, p < 0.0001; mean = 68 vs 60 days, p = 0.0044). ITR patients were 2-times more likely (p = 0.0110) to use other antifungals vs VOR patients. Controlling for treatment and key baseline variables, longer IFI prophylaxis was associated with fewer hospital days (p < 0.0001) and less other antifungal use (p < 0.0001). Patients who discontinued prophylaxis during the first 100 days incurred 10 more hospital days (p < 0.0001) and 17 more other antifungal days (p < 0.0001) compared to their counterparts. Eight more prophylaxis days were associated with ∼1 less hospital day and 3.6 less other antifungal days (p < 0.0001). Key limitation: MRU data collection was limited to the first 100 days post-transplant, which may not fully capture the real-world utilization and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Patients' ability to tolerate and continue their antifungal prophylaxis after alloHCT is associated with less use of MRU such as other antifungals and hospital days. In the current resource-constrained healthcare environment, it is important to consider the potential economic impact of the tolerability of antifungal prophylaxis.

Abstract
Ethyl pyruvate (EP) is a pyruvate derivative and known to be cytoprotective in various pathological conditions through anti-cell death and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. The present study investigated the neuroprotective effect of ethyl pyruvate using a mouse model of collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Our results showed that EP treatment to mice reduced brain edema and improved neurological function after ICH. Delayed treatment with EP until 6h after ICH to mice was still neuroprotective. We further demonstrated that EP protected neurons from hemoglobin-induced cell death in vitro and neuronal cell degeneration in ICH mice. Moreover, EP exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting microglia activation, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) DNA binding activity and subsequent downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)) production. Taken together, these results suggest that EP exerts neuroprotective effect via anti-cell death and anti-inflammatory actions. EP is a potential novel treatment for ICH patients and deserves further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airway. Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is an ancient Chinese medicine, which is used to treat psoriasis, asthma, and acute promyelocytic leukemia. AIM We wanted to research the effect of arsenic trioxide on asthma. METHODS Using a murine model of asthma, the airway hyperresponsiveness was conducted by the Buxco pulmonary function apparatus. Total cell counts of BALF were counted with a counting chamber. Histopathological analysis of lung tissues was conducted by hematoxylin-eosin or periodic acid-schiff stain. CD4+T cells were purified from the spleen by positive selection, using immunomagnetic beads. Apoptosis measurements were done with Annexin-V/PI staining. Western blot analysis and real time-PCR were performed to assess the expression of C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), respectively. RNA interference was conducted to inhibit the expression of CHOP. RESULTS We found that arsenic trioxide treatment alleviated airway hyperresponsiveness and reduced inflammation of the lung in asthmatic mice. Furthermore, arsenic trioxide treatment promoted apoptosis of CD4+T cells in vivo and in vitro. When CD4+T cells were cultured with arsenic trioxide for 5 h at a concentration of 5 μM, the expression of GRP78 and CHOP was increased. Treatment of CD4+T cells with CHOP siRNA, provided partial resistance to arsenic trioxide-induced apoptosis of CD4+T cells CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrated that arsenic trioxide can reduce the severity of asthma attacks and induce the apoptosis of CD4+ T cell which the ER stress-CHOP pathway involved.

Abstract
We report on a girl with inverted duplication and deletion of 10q25q26 revealed by array-CGH and FISH analysis. Array-CGH analysis demonstrated a ∼13.1-Mb duplication encompassing 10q25.3q26.2 and a ∼5-Mb deletion at 10q26.2q26.3. No single-copy region was detected between the deleted and duplicated segments. FISH analysis found the arrangement duplicated in an inverted position. FISH analysis using the same probes did not show any abnormality in both parents, which indicates a de novo occurrence. The frequently reported features of distal 10q duplication include developmental delay, blepharophimosis, hypotonia, skeletal anomalies and some facial dysmorphisms. The girl presented with many features of distal 10q duplication with the exception of skeletal anomalies. To our knowledge, this is the fourth patient reported in the literature with inv dup del 10q. 10q duplication seems to account for most of the phenotypes for our patient. Although no obvious skeletal feature was found in our patient at present, follow-up assessment of skeletal development should be planned with the increase of age.
