Project description:This CYCling Lynch patients for Exercise and Prevention (CYCLE-P) trial was a prospective, non-randomized controlled trial conducted at the Familial High-Risk Gastrointestinal and Cancer Prevention Clinic of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Twenty-one LS participants with a confirmed pathogenic mutation in one of four DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes were enrolled between April 2018 and January 2019. Follow-up was conducted 1-year from the start of the intervention. Statistical analysis by both per-protocol and intention-to-treat was performed from March to May 2021.
Project description:The efficacy and safety of tacrolimus or sirolimus monotherapy after combined induction therapy with campath-1H and infliximab monoclonal antibodies in 20 kidney graft recipients were evaluated in single centre prospective randomized trial. Campath-1H and infliximab induction followed by tacrolimus monotherapy spare tolerance asssociated naive B-cell related molecular markers and results in 36 months excellent renal graft function and normal histology.

Project description:Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) control airway inflammation in mild to moderate asthma by reducing inflammatory gene expression. However, incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning corticosteroid action hinders development of improved therapies for more severe disease. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA from biopsies taken from healthy individuals after receiving single dose of ICS to characterize corticosteroid-induced modulation of gene expression in the human airways. Healthy male, non-smoker, non-allergic volunteers (age 18-50 years) with normal lung function were recruited into a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, two-period crossover study involving an initial screening visit, followed by two intervention visits. Participants were screened at visit 1 for fulfilment of the study eligibility criteria. At visit 2, volunteers were randomized to receive inhaled budesonide (1600 µg) or placebo, both via Turbuhaler. Two to three weeks later, at visit 3, participants received either budesonide or placebo, as appropriate to complete both study arms. Six hours after placebo or a budesonide inhalation, bronchial biopsies were obtained via bronchoscopy.
Project description:This study compared the therapeutic effects of medium cut-off (MCO) and high flux (HF) dialyzers using metabolomics and proteomics. This was a single-center prospective trial of 20 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD). A consecutive dialyzer membrane was used for 15-week study periods as follows: 1st HF dialyzer, MCO dialyzer, 2nd HF dialyzer, for 5 weeks respectively. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis was used to identify proteins.
Project description:We performed epidemiological, cytokine, and transcriptomic analyses on a prospective, multi-center cohort of 1,928 severely injured patients.
Project description:We determined whether we could identify clusters of children with critical asthma by functional immunophenotyping using an intracellular viral analog stimulus. We performed a single-center, prospective, observational cohort study of 43 children ages 6 – 17 years admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit for an asthma attack between July 2019 to February 2021.
Project description:CXCR4 overexpression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia associates with poorer prognosis: a prospective, single-center, observational study
Project description:We determined whether we could identify clusters of children with critical asthma by plasma cytokine concentration. Differences in gene expression between the two clusters were analyzed using a targeted Nanostring immunology array. We performed a single-center, prospective, observational cohort study of 64 children ages 6 – 17 years admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit for an asthma attack between July 2019 to February 2021.
Project description:We performed epidemiological, cytokine, and transcriptomic analyses on a prospective, multi-center cohort of 1,928 severely injured patients. We wished to characterize the relationship of advanced age to clinical outcomes and to transcriptomic responses after severe blunt traumatic injury with hemorrhagic shock.
