Family-centered Care for Sick Newborns: A Thumbnail View

Family-centered care (FCC) for sick newborns is emerging as a paradigmatic shift in the practice of facility-based newborn care. It seeks to transforming a provider-centered model into a client-centered one and thus build a new therapeutic alliance. FCC is the cornerstone of continuum of care, imparting caregiving competencies to parents/caregivers both within institutions as well as after the discharge. This has potential gains for the newborn, family members, and facility-level staff. The initial model piloted in tertiary-care settings is now undergoing translation at five sites across the country; the outcomes are keenly awaited.     

Redox active or thiol reactive? Optimization of rapid screens to identify less evident nuisance compounds

Compounds that exhibit assay interference or undesirable mechanisms of bioactivity are routinely encountered in assays at various stages of drug discovery. We observed that assays for the investigation of thiol-reactive and redox-active compounds have not been collected in a comprehensive review. Here, we review these assays and subject them to experimental optimization to improve their reliability. We demonstrate the usefulness of our assay cascade by assaying a library of bioactive compounds, chemical probes, and a set of approved drugs. These high-throughput assays should complement the array of wet-lab and in silico assays during the initial stages of hit discovery campaigns to pursue only hit compounds with tractable mechanisms of action.     

Mimengosides J and K: two new neuroprotective triterpenoids from the fruits of Buddleja lindleyana

Two new 11-methoxyl substituted triterpenoids, named as mimengosides J (1) and K (2), along with seven known compounds, were isolated from the fruits of Buddleja lindleyana. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. In addition, the new ones were evaluated for protective effects against damage of SH-SY5Y cells induced by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP⁺) and the results indicated that those may be one of the candidate compositions of Buddleja lindleyana for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease.

     

IFI 30、PD-L1在人脑胶质瘤中的表达及与病人预后的关系

目的 探讨γ干扰素诱导蛋白30（IFI 30）、程序性死亡因子配体1（PD-L1）在人脑胶质瘤中的表达及与病人预后的关系。方法 选择2015年5月~2019年5月手术切除的103例人脑胶质瘤组织和瘤旁组织，采用免疫组织化学染色检测IFI 30、PD-L1表达情况。随访24个月，记录无进展生存期和总生存期。结果 胶质瘤组织IFI 30、PD-L1高表达率[分别为70.87%（73/103）、68.93%（71/103）]明显高于瘤旁组织[分别为19.42%（20/103）、21.36%（22/103）；P<0.001]。胶质瘤组织IFI 30表达水平与PD-L1表达水平呈明显正相关（r=0.583，P<0.05）。随访24个月，生存75例，死亡28例；多因素logistic回归分析显示，IFI 30高表达、PD-L1高表达是增加病人死亡风险的独立危险因素（P<0.05）。生存曲线分析显示，IFI 30高表达组2年累积生存率（64.52%）和2年累积无进展生存率（65.56%）均明显低于低表达组（分别为82.25%、89.45%；P<0.05）。PD-L1高表达组2年累积生存率（61.78%）和2年累积无进展生存率（60.14%）均明显低于低表达组（分别为88.52%、79.86%；P<0.05）。结论 人脑胶质瘤组织IFI 30、PD-L1呈高表达，与病人不良预后密切相关。
