METHODS: Sixty SPF Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups with 10 rats in each group. The rat model of PQ poisoning was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of PQ solution 20 mg/kg (PQ model group), and the rats were treated by intraperitoneal injection of gradient thalidomide (50, 100, 200 mg/kg treatment groups) 30 minutes later continuously for 3 days. The normal saline (NS) control group and thalidomide control group (thalidomide 200 mg/kg) were established. After 3 days, the abdominal aorta blood was collected, and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was determined by hydroxylamine method, serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content was determined by thiobarbituric acid method. The rats were sacrificed for lung tissue, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The phosphorylation levels of p65 and inhibitor-alpha of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) (IkappaB-alpha), which were the NF-kappaB signaling pathway proteins, were determined by Western Blot. The pathological changes in lung tissue were observed under light microscope by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. RESULTS: Under microscope, obvious congestion of pulmonary interstitial and alveolar septum, a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration and thickened alveolar wall were observed after 3 days of PQ poisoning, and the congestion of pulmonary interstitial and alveolar septum, edema and inflammatory cells infiltration in the lung tissue were significantly reduced after treatment of 50, 100, 200 mg/kg thalidomide, but compared with NS control group, there was still a small amount of edema fluid, inflammatory cells and erythrocytes in the lungs tissue. Compared with the NS control group, serum MDA content and the levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6, and the phosphorylation of p65 and IkappaB-alpha in lung tissue were significantly increased after PQ exposure, and the activity of serum SOD was significantly decreased. Treatment with 50, 100, 200 mg/kg thalidomide could significantly reduce the levels of MDA, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha and p65, and increase SOD activity, in a dose-dependent manner, and the levels were significantly different from PQ model group [MDA (mmol/L): 8.26+-1.20, 6.72+-1.18, 5.51+-1.44 vs. 9.02+-1.03, TNF-alpha (ng/mg): 3.00+-0.14, 1.84+-0.18, 1.58+-0.11 vs. 3.30+-0.14, IL-6 (ng/mg): 1.26+-0.04, 1.06+-0.04, 0.97+-0.08 vs. 1.97+-0.07, p-p65/p65: 6.01+-0.35, 3.64+-0.15, 2.89+-0.18 vs. 6.34+-0.23, p-IkappaB-alpha/IkappaB-alpha: 2.27+-0.13, 2.14+-0.22, 1.52+-0.14 vs. 2.96+-0.20, SOD (kU/L): 195.7+-19.3, 207.1+-25.6, 225.8+-23.1 vs. 188.2+-26.6, all P < 0.05]. There was no significant effect on lung by 200 mg/kg thalidomide alone.

Treatment with 50, 100, 200 mg/kg thalidomide could significantly reduce the levels of MDA, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha and p65, and increase SOD activity, in a dose-dependent manner, and the levels were significantly different from PQ model group [MDA (mmol/L): 8.26+-1.20, 6.72+-1.18, 5.51+-1.44 vs. 9.02+-1.03, TNF-alpha (ng/mg): 3.00+-0.14, 1.84+-0.18, 1.58+-0.11 vs. 3.30+-0.14, IL-6 (ng/mg): 1.26+-0.04, 1.06+-0.04, 0.97+-0.08 vs. 1.97+-0.07, p-p65/p65: 6.01+-0.35, 3.64+-0.15, 2.89+-0.18 vs. 6.34+-0.23, p-IkappaB-alpha/IkappaB-alpha: 2.27+-0.13, 2.14+-0.22, 1.52+-0.14 vs. 2.96+-0.20, SOD (kU/L): 195.7+-19.3, 207.1+-25.6, 225.8+-23.1 vs. 188.2+-26.6, all P < 0.05]. There was no significant effect on lung by 200 mg/kg thalidomide alone. CONCLUSIONS: Thalidomide has a protective effect on ALI induced by PQ poisoning in rats in a dose-dependent manner, the mechanism may be achieved by reducing the level of oxygen free radicals, reducing the inflammatory factor and inhibiting the IkappaB-alpha/NF-kappaB signal pathway activation.

Accumulating lines of evidence indicate that chitinases play important roles in attacking the invading fungal pathogens through catalyzing their cell wall degradation. Here, we identified the chitinase (Chi) genes in cucumber and further screened the FW-responsive genes via a comparative transcriptome analysis and found that six common genes were predominantly expressed in roots but also significantly upregulated after Foc infection. Expression verification further conformed that Chi2 and Chi14 were obviously induced by Foc as well as by hormone treatments, compared with the controls.

Chitinase Chi 2 Positively Regulates Cucumber Resistance against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an important vegetable crop worldwide, and Fusarium wilt (FW), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (Foc), severely restricts cucumber growth and yield. Accumulating lines of evidence indicate that chitinases play important roles in attacking the invading fungal pathogens through catalyzing their cell wall degradation. Here, we identified the chitinase (Chi) genes in cucumber and further screened the FW-responsive genes via a comparative transcriptome analysis and found that six common genes were predominantly expressed in roots but also significantly upregulated after Foc infection. Expression verification further conformed that Chi2 and Chi14 were obviously induced by Foc as well as by hormone treatments, compared with the controls. The purified Chi2 and Chi14 proteins significantly affected the growth of Foc in vitro, compared with the controls. Knockdown of Chi2 in cucumber by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) increased susceptibility to FW, compared with the Chi14-silenced and control plants, and silencing of Chi2 drastically impaired gene activation in the jasmonic acid pathway, suggesting that the Chi2 gene might play positive roles in cucumber FW defense and, therefore, can provide a gene resource for developing cucumber-FW-resistance breeding programs.

Hemodynamic studies in patients with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) forearm grafts. 21 patients with polytetrafluoroethylene grafts inserted for hemodialysis access were studied to assess the hemodynamic parameters. Mean graft flow was 1.9 l/min with a range of 0.2-3.8 l/min. Intragraft pressure varied from 1 to 83 mmHg and was dependent on systemic pressure, graft flow and the presence of stenotic lesions. Mean cardiac output was 7.1 l/min and index 4.0 l/min and was positively correlated with graft flow. By obtaining this data surgical corrective action was taken in several patients prospectively thus removing the abnormalities and ensuring continued graft patency. The techniques described are reproducible and simple and can be carried out in less than five minutes with minimal patient discomfort or hazard.

It is now more important than ever to diagnose and treat SpA early. New therapeutic agents including blockers of tumor necrosis factor have yielded tremendous responses not only in advanced disease but also in the early stages of the disease. Sacroiliitis on conventional radiography is the result of structural changes which may appear late in the disease process. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can visualize active inflammation at sacroiliac joints and spine in recent onset disease. The modified New York criteria, the European Spondyloarthropathy Study Group criteria and the Amor criteria do not include advanced imaging techniques like MRI which is very sensitive to the early Inflammatory changes. Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society has defined MRI methods for the assessment of sacroiliac joints and spine, criteria for inflammatory back pain and developed new criteria for classification of axial and peripheral spondyloarthritis. These new criteria are intended to be used for patients with SpA at the very early stage of their disease. Also, classification of psoriatic arthritis study group developed criteria for the classification of PsA.

Classification criteria for spondyloarthropathies. Spondyloarthropathies (SpA) are a group of inflammatory arthritis which consist of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), reactive arthritis, arthritis/spondylitis associated with psoriasis (PsA), and arthritis/spondylitis associated with inflammatory bowel diseases. It is now more important than ever to diagnose and treat SpA early. New therapeutic agents including blockers of tumor necrosis factor have yielded tremendous responses not only in advanced disease but also in the early stages of the disease. Sacroiliitis on conventional radiography is the result of structural changes which may appear late in the disease process. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can visualize active inflammation at sacroiliac joints and spine in recent onset disease. The modified New York criteria, the European Spondyloarthropathy Study Group criteria and the Amor criteria do not include advanced imaging techniques like MRI which is very sensitive to the early Inflammatory changes. Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society has defined MRI methods for the assessment of sacroiliac joints and spine, criteria for inflammatory back pain and developed new criteria for classification of axial and peripheral spondyloarthritis. These new criteria are intended to be used for patients with SpA at the very early stage of their disease. Also, classification of psoriatic arthritis study group developed criteria for the classification of PsA. The widespread use of these criteria in clinical trials will provide evidence for a better definition of early disease and recognize many patients who may further develop classical AS or PsA. These efforts will guide therapeutic trials of potent drugs like biological agents in the early stage of these diseases.

METHODS: A total of 484 coronary arteries in 295 patients with stable coronary artery disease that underwent MPS and invasive physiological pressure measurements were categorized into four groups (FFR+/NHPR+, FFR+/NHPR-, FFR-/NHPR+, and FFR-/NHPR-) using the respective cut-off values of FFR <= 0.80, iFR <= 0.89, RFR <= 0.89, dPR < 0.89, and Pd/Pa <= 0.92.

Prevalence of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy derived ischemia in coronary lesions with discordant fractional flow reserve and non-hyperemic pressure ratios. BACKGROUND: Whether a coronary lesion with discordant fractional flow reserve (FFR) and non-hyperemic pressure ratios (NHPRs) causes myocardial ischemia remains unclear. This study investigates the prevalence of myocardial ischemia as assessed by myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) in coronary lesions with discordant FFR and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), and, additionally, other NHPRs: resting full-cycle ratio (RFR), diastolic pressure ratio (dPR), and resting Pd/Pa. METHODS: A total of 484 coronary arteries in 295 patients with stable coronary artery disease that underwent MPS and invasive physiological pressure measurements were categorized into four groups (FFR+/NHPR+, FFR+/NHPR-, FFR-/NHPR+, and FFR-/NHPR-) using the respective cut-off values of FFR <= 0.80, iFR <= 0.89, RFR <= 0.89, dPR < 0.89, and Pd/Pa <= 0.92. The proportions of MPS-derived myocardial ischemia in a relevant myocardial territory were compared between the four groups. RESULTS: In total, 175 (36%), 61(13%), 35(7%) and 213(44%) vessels were classified into FFR+/iFR+, FFR+/iFR-, FFR-/iFR+ and FFR-/iFR- groups, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of MPS-derived myocardial ischemia in coronary lesions with discordance between FFR and NHPRs is lower than those with concordantly positive FFR and NHPRs, but higher than those with concordantly negative FFR and NHPRs.

The symptoms were initially suspected to be of discogenic cause, and the fractures were incidentally appreciated at the edge of a lumbar spine magnetic resonance image. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind this potential diagnosis when examining imaging studies of postpartum patients. For women who present other risk factors of osteoporosis, imaging of the entire sacrum should be part of the imaging studies. If sacral stress fractures are diagnosed, further evaluation for bone mineral density and underlying metabolic bone disease is recommended.

In addition, dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis was performed, finding only meaningful hydrodynamic size and intensity-weighted mean size information on the individual PS solutions because of the particles' spherical nature. In contrast, the size distributions were extracted unrealistically too broad, and the volume- and number-weighted mean sizes were too small, therefore inappropriate to describe the particle systems. Furthermore, the DLS analysis could not detect completely the surfactant and their assemblies present in the particle solutions. Overall, the quantitative SAXS analysis confirmed that the individual PS particle systems were successfully prepared with spherical shape in a very narrow unimodal size distribution.

Mouse strains which express the resistance phenotype (Bcgr) restrict bacterial growth, whereas susceptible strains (Bcgs) allow bacterial growth. Expression of the Bcg allele is known to influence the priming of host macrophages (M phi s) for bactericidal function. In the present work, bone marrow-derived M phi s from congenic BALB/c (Bcgs) and C.D2 (BALB/c.Bcgr) mice were infected with the virulent strain Mycobacterium avium TMC 724 to define the mechanism involved in growth restriction of M. avium. By combining CFU measurements and ultrastructural analyses, we show that growth of this bacterium is restricted in marrow M phi s from resistant mice. Using acid phosphatase as a lysosomal marker, we provide evidence that the hydrolytic activity of M phi s, as measured by the capacity of lysosomes to fuse with and transfer active hydrolytic enzymes to phagosomes in which M. avium resides, is an expression of the Bcg gene and that this phenomenon is a key antibacterial activity responsible for growth restriction of M. avium: (i) the percentage of phagosome-lysosome fusions was twice as high in Bcgr M phi s as in Bcgs M phi s, and (ii) the percentage of intact viable bacteria residing in acid phosphatase-negative phagosomes was twice as low in Bcgr M phi s as in the Bcgs counterparts.

Implication of phagosome-lysosome fusion in restriction of Mycobacterium avium growth in bone marrow macrophages from genetically resistant mice. The ability of the host to resist infection to a variety of intracellular pathogens, including mycobacteria, is strongly dependent upon the expression of the Bcg gene. Mouse strains which express the resistance phenotype (Bcgr) restrict bacterial growth, whereas susceptible strains (Bcgs) allow bacterial growth. Expression of the Bcg allele is known to influence the priming of host macrophages (M phi s) for bactericidal function. In the present work, bone marrow-derived M phi s from congenic BALB/c (Bcgs) and C.D2 (BALB/c.Bcgr) mice were infected with the virulent strain Mycobacterium avium TMC 724 to define the mechanism involved in growth restriction of M. avium. By combining CFU measurements and ultrastructural analyses, we show that growth of this bacterium is restricted in marrow M phi s from resistant mice. Using acid phosphatase as a lysosomal marker, we provide evidence that the hydrolytic activity of M phi s, as measured by the capacity of lysosomes to fuse with and transfer active hydrolytic enzymes to phagosomes in which M. avium resides, is an expression of the Bcg gene and that this phenomenon is a key antibacterial activity responsible for growth restriction of M. avium: (i) the percentage of phagosome-lysosome fusions was twice as high in Bcgr M phi s as in Bcgs M phi s, and (ii) the percentage of intact viable bacteria residing in acid phosphatase-negative phagosomes was twice as low in Bcgr M phi s as in the Bcgs counterparts. These differences are not due to a lower activity of the enzyme in Bcgr M phi s. The mechanism by which the Bcg gene exerts control over the phagolysosomal fusion is discussed.

The electrochemiluminescence of luminol on titania nanotubes functionalised indium tin oxide glass for flow injection analysis. The titania nanotubes (TiNTs) had been immobilised onto the indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass to intensify the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol. The morphology, structure and properties such as specific surface area and transmittance of synthesised TiNTs were characterised. The results indicated that the TiNTs was several hundred nanometres in length with the diameter of 20 nm. In flow injection analysis (FIA) mode, the TiNTs dramatically enhanced the ECL emission of luminol for about 25 multiple, meanwhile decreased the requirement of buffer pH and exciting potential. The ECL emission of luminol on functionalised ITO electrode has sensitive response toward hydrogen peroxide, and extraordinarily responsive toward the antioxidant. Under the optimal conditions, the ECL emission exhibited a linear response within the concentration range from 0.1 mg L(-1) to 30 mg L(-1) and an absolute detection limit of 1.65x10(-10) g of resveratrol. The gross antioxidant activity of blueberry and kiwi were determined with satisfactory recoveries.

Corticosteroids are usually used to prevent beta2 adrenoceptor (beta2AR) desensitization in clinical and experimental practice. But the exact mechanism of corticosteroid effectiveness on beta2AR desensitization is unclear. OBJECTIVES: To find the potential mechanisms related to the protective effects of corticosteroid on salbutamol induced beta2AR desensitization by a proteomics approach. METHODS: Thirty-two BALB/c (6-8 weeks old) mice were divided into four groups: group A, control group, phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-treated group; group B, asthmatic group, treated by ovalbumin (OVA); group C, beta2AR desensitized asthmatic group, treated by OVA and salbutamol (SBT) and group D, corticosteroid-treated beta2AR desensitized asthmatic group, treated with OVA, SBT and Dexamethasone (DEX). After administrated with those drugs, their serum total IgE, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cytokine concentration, airway resistance and membrane receptor number of beta2AR were evaluated. After then, the mice of group C and D were sacrificed, their protein from lung tissue were extracted and then seperated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE). Then, the isolated protein spots were analyzed by ImageMaster software and mass spectrometry. Bioinformatic tools were used to search these protein spots and find interesting protein spots associated with corticosteroid protective effect on beta2AR desensitization. Finally, these protein spots were confirmed by Western blotting. RESULTS: With inflammatory cell count, cytokine concentration of BALF, pathological sections, total serum IgE, airway resistance, membrane receptor number and beta2AR total amount changes, asthmatic mouse model and beta2AR desensitization asthmatic mouse model were successfully established. Seventeen protein spots were found different expression between group C and group D, 4 protein spots were down-regulated and 13 protein spots were up-regulated compared to group C. Proteasome subunit beta type 3 was down-regulated. CONCLUSIONS: Increased proteasome subunit beta type 3 expression may be responsible for salbutamol-induced beta2AR desensitization in asthmatic disease, and DEX possibly render the beta2AR resensitization partially by decreasing the content of proteasome." ], "offsets": [ [ 193, 2636 ] ] } ]

Identification of proteasome subunit beta type 3 involved in the potential mechanism of corticosteroid protective effectiveness on beta-2 adrenoceptor desensitization by a proteomics approach. BACKGROUND: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by airway inflammation with mucus hypersecretion and hyperresponsiveness to various nonspecific stimuli. Corticosteroids are usually used to prevent beta2 adrenoceptor (beta2AR) desensitization in clinical and experimental practice. But the exact mechanism of corticosteroid effectiveness on beta2AR desensitization is unclear. OBJECTIVES: To find the potential mechanisms related to the protective effects of corticosteroid on salbutamol induced beta2AR desensitization by a proteomics approach. METHODS: Thirty-two BALB/c (6-8 weeks old) mice were divided into four groups: group A, control group, phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-treated group; group B, asthmatic group, treated by ovalbumin (OVA); group C, beta2AR desensitized asthmatic group, treated by OVA and salbutamol (SBT) and group D, corticosteroid-treated beta2AR desensitized asthmatic group, treated with OVA, SBT and Dexamethasone (DEX). After administrated with those drugs, their serum total IgE, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cytokine concentration, airway resistance and membrane receptor number of beta2AR were evaluated. After then, the mice of group C and D were sacrificed, their protein from lung tissue were extracted and then seperated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE). Then, the isolated protein spots were analyzed by ImageMaster software and mass spectrometry. Bioinformatic tools were used to search these protein spots and find interesting protein spots associated with corticosteroid protective effect on beta2AR desensitization. Finally, these protein spots were confirmed by Western blotting. RESULTS: With inflammatory cell count, cytokine concentration of BALF, pathological sections, total serum IgE, airway resistance, membrane receptor number and beta2AR total amount changes, asthmatic mouse model and beta2AR desensitization asthmatic mouse model were successfully established. Seventeen protein spots were found different expression between group C and group D, 4 protein spots were down-regulated and 13 protein spots were up-regulated compared to group C. Proteasome subunit beta type 3 was down-regulated. CONCLUSIONS: Increased proteasome subunit beta type 3 expression may be responsible for salbutamol-induced beta2AR desensitization in asthmatic disease, and DEX possibly render the beta2AR resensitization partially by decreasing the content of proteasome.

We sought to determine the impact of COVID-19 on admissions for intracranial hemorrhage to a German University Hospital emergency department. Methods: In a retrospective analysis of admissions to the emergency department of the University Hospital Mannheim from January to June 2020 and the corresponding time period in 2019, all patients admitted for either traumatic or non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage were evaluated. Poisson regression was performed to analyze changes in admission rates as a function of year, epoch (COVID-19-epoch, March to April 2020 and corresponding months 2019; non-COVID-19-epoch, January to February and May to June 2019/2020) and the interaction of year and epoch (reflecting the impact of the pandemic and subsequent lockdown measures).

[Influences of pine needles physiological properties on the PAH accumulation]. The lipid contents, specific surface areas and stomata density of two kinds of pine (Cedrus deodar and Pinus thunbergii) needles were determined simultaneously with the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Advances in pharmacotherapy for postpartum depression: a structured review of standard-of-care antidepressants and novel neuroactive steroid antidepressants. Postpartum depression is one of the most common morbidities of childbearing, yet it is underdiagnosed and undertreated with negative consequences for mother and offspring. Despite the widespread use of standard-of-care antidepressants as the mainstay of treatment for postpartum depression, there is limited evidence on their safety and efficacy due to their slow onset of action and suboptimal outcomes. The emergence of gamma-aminobutyric acidergic neuroactive steroids may offer faster response and remission times and improved patient outcomes. This article reviews the evidence base for the efficacy of standard-of-care antidepressants, hormonal therapeutics including progestins and estradiol, and gamma-aminobutyric acidergic neuroactive steroids in the treatment of postpartum depression, as well as the safety of infant exposure to these agents during lactation.

Transitions of Liver and Biliary Enzymes during Proton Beam Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Proton beam therapy (PBT) is a curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), because it can preserve liver function due to dose targeting via the Bragg peak. However, the degree of direct liver damage by PBT is unclear. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed liver/biliary enzymes and total bilirubin (T-Bil) as markers of direct liver damage during and early after PBT in 300 patients. The levels of these enzymes and bilirubin were almost stable throughout the treatment period. In patients with normal pretreatment levels, aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and T-Bil were abnormally elevated in only 2 (1.2%), 1 (0.4%), 0, 2 (1.2%), and 8 (3.5%) patients, respectively, and in 8 of these 13 patients (61.5%) the elevations were temporary. In patients with abnormal pretreatment levels, the levels tended to decrease during PBT. GGT and T-Bil were elevated by 1.62 and 1.57 times in patients who received 66 Gy (RBE) in 10 fractions and 74 Gy (RBE) in 37 fractions, respectively, but again these changes were temporary. These results suggest that direct damage to normal liver caused by PBT is minimal, even if a patient has abnormal pretreatment enzyme levels.

A program for bedside glucose testing has been successfully implemented and in operation at Sharp Memorial Hospital since October 1990. The nursing staff training and certification process focuses on gaining an understanding of the issues and skills needed to routinely perform the tests to laboratory quality standards. Routine quality control checks are performed to ensure the accuracy and precision of the glucose values obtained on patients, thus maintaining quality in the process. Instituting this comprehensive QA program for bedside glucose testing has enabled us to improve the accuracy of our measurements and increase the quality of our patient care.

Growth of lithium-indium dendrites in all-solid-state lithium-based batteries with sulfide electrolytes.

Forty cases of gastrointestinal neurosis treated by acupunture. OBJECTIVE: To compare the therapeutic effect of acupuncture for gastrointestinal neurosis with that of oral remedy. METHODS: Eighty cases were randomly divided into the following 2 groups. In the treatment group, acupuncture was given for one month at the main points of Zhongwan (CV 12), Zusanli (ST 36), Taichong (LR 3) and Shenmen (HT 7), with the auxiliary points selected according to TCM differentiation. In the control group, Domperidone was orally administered for one month. RESULTS: The total effective rate was 92.5% in the treatment group and 75.0% in the control group, with a significant difference between the 2 groups (chi2 = 4.423, P < 0.05). Acupuncture was superior to the oral remedy in therapeutic effects. CONCLUSIONS: Acupuncture may show better results for gastrointestinal neurosis and with less toxic side effects.

METHODS: A total of 25,538 in NFHS-3 (2005-06) and 35,112 in NFHS-4 (2015-16) men were considered for the analysis. Men have been divided into two age groups as 15-19 years (adolescent) and 20-24 (young men) for comparison purposes. Descriptive and multivariate statistics have been used. RESULTS: Overall, high-risk sexual behaviour has increased among adolescent boys (64 to 70%) and young men (18 to 27%) from 2005-06 to 2015-16. The trend of live-in relationship has increased among adolescent boys of rural areas (0.6 to 6.0%) as well as in urban areas (3.1 to 10.9%) over the last 10 years. Adolescent boys having 10th and above years of schooling (AOR = 1.98; p < 0.01), residing in urban areas (AOR = 2.23; p < 0.01), and belonging to the affluent class of households (AOR = 1.41; p < 0.05) were more likely to engage in high-risk sexual activity than the young men in India.

Postoperatively, incisional hernias occur because of multiple factors. Preoperative comorbidities belong to these risk factors. A risk reduction related to concomitant diseases mostly does not succeed. There is a range of studies comparing the techniques of surgical wound closure. A consensus of these is that a running suture of the fascia with slowly absorbable or non-absorbable sutures results in the lowest incidence of incisional hernias. A one-cm distance between the stitches and a minimal distance of one cm to the fascial margin as well as a 4:1 suture length to wound length ratio are still valid principles. In any case, solely optimising the surgical technique of the abdominal wall closure is not able to reduce the incidence of incisional hernias. Prevention of postoperative complications by adequate pain management, respiratory training and early mobilisation are procedures to reduce the incidence of incisional hernias.

[Risk factors and prevention of incisional hernia--what is evidence-based?]. Incisional hernia is a late complication of laparotomy for which an evidence-based prohylactic approach is still lacking. Postoperatively, incisional hernias occur because of multiple factors. Preoperative comorbidities belong to these risk factors. A risk reduction related to concomitant diseases mostly does not succeed. There is a range of studies comparing the techniques of surgical wound closure. A consensus of these is that a running suture of the fascia with slowly absorbable or non-absorbable sutures results in the lowest incidence of incisional hernias. A one-cm distance between the stitches and a minimal distance of one cm to the fascial margin as well as a 4:1 suture length to wound length ratio are still valid principles. In any case, solely optimising the surgical technique of the abdominal wall closure is not able to reduce the incidence of incisional hernias. Prevention of postoperative complications by adequate pain management, respiratory training and early mobilisation are procedures to reduce the incidence of incisional hernias. However, systematic studies are lacking. To avoid an incisional hernia, only a practical approach remains which, however, does not meet the requirements of evidence-based medicine.
