Luco","doi":"10.15761/tim.1000268","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15761/tim.1000268","url":null,"abstract":"Researchers of the University Minnesota School reported the first prospective randomized placebo-controlled trial (RCT) in evaluating the role of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) against COVID‐19. The trial's primary result reported by the authors was that, within four days after moderate or high-risk exposure to Covid-19, HCQ did not show benefit over placebo to prevent illnesses compatible with Covid-19 or confirmed infection (P=0.351, Fisher exact test). In this re-analysis, we show why the authors’ oversimplified analysis led to an incorrect conclusion from the data. We re-analyzed the dataset by applying multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), which are noise reduction methods used in large data sets. We used the same primary outcome measures as the authors (incidence of COVID-19-compatible disease by day 14) and the same statistical test that the authors used, such as the two-sided Fisher's exact test and others. The results obtained indicate that the individuals' age is a determining factor in the chemopreventive efficacy exerted by HCQ. Thus, in contradiction to the original authors' conclusions, the full data set's risk analysis shows that HCQ exhibits a chemopreventive effect for the group of subjects of ≤ 50 yrs that does not reach significance (P=0.083). However, not considering the analysis of the moderate-risk exposure group, we confirm that the high-risk exposure group (N=719) demonstrates a significant effect of HCQ in the under 50 age group (p=0.025). We also show, using MCA and the Mantel test, systematic differences between the treatment and placebo groups in their clinical characteristics, specifically asthma, and other-comorbidities which act as confounders that add noise to the data, such that the genuine effect of the drug is not seen in a standard analysis. After correcting these differences, the risk analysis showed that HCQ is also useful as a prophylactic agent for people over 50 years of age. This study, therefore, provides evidence of the necessity for higher-order analytics (such as MCA) in the presence of large data sets that include unknown confounders. In this case, it shows that the published conclusion of the group – that HCQ does not prevent COVID-type infective symptoms – was fundamentally flawed and should be reconsidered.","PeriodicalId":23337,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Medicine","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85494496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were randomly allocated to either the kinesiology group, Zinc-oxide or no tape group. Kinesiology tape was applied through the “I Strip” technique. Each application comprised of a 10 cm piece of tape applied at the mid-point of the gastrocnemius, at a 50% stretch (7.5 cm each side). The interstitial space was recorded at this point using the Real Time Diagnostic Biosound Ultrasound machine. The tape was applied for twenty-four hours and the interstitial space was re-measured. Same methodology was repeated for those in the Zinc-oxide and the no tape group. \u0000 \u0000Results: A one-way repeated measures ANOVA test reported a significant difference in the volume of interstitial space between the no tape and KT group and the KT and Zinc oxide group for both initial and 24-hour readings (p=0.002, p≤0.000). Paired t-tests between the initial and after 24-hours readings revealed no significant differences showing that there was no further increase of the interstitial space after 24 hours. \u0000 \u0000Conclusions: The application of the kinesiology tape increases the interstitial space within healthy participants a twenty-four hour application.

A. baumannii is an important opportunistic nosocomial pathogen that causes pneumonia, bacteremia, urinary tract infections, meningitis, skin, and soft tissue infections. The major concern about A.baumannii is the emergence of resistant strains which necessitates the development of new prevention, control, and treatment methods. Recently the bacterial lipoproteins have attracted the attention of the researchers for the induction of protective immunity against infectious diseases. VacJ is a highly conserved outer membrane lipoprotein that exists in many A. baumannii strains that deserves research on its immunogenicity. The gene encoding mature vacJ of A. baumannii ATCC19606 was cloned and over-expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein. The recombinant VacJ (rVacJ) was purified. 20 and 40 µg of the purified ∼ 31 kDa rVacJ were used for immunization of mice along with Freund’s or Alum adjuvants. Antibody titres raised against the recombinant protein were determined by indirect ELISA. Whole A.baumannii cell was detected at 1:200 serum dilution. Bacterial challenges of mice groups with varying doses of A. baumannii were performed in the active, passive, and intranasal forms. The bacterial load in the mice lungs was determined in both control and immunized groups. A high antibody titre was noted as a result of immunization with rVacJ. The rVacJ-Freund’s adjuvant elicited a higher antibody level compared to the rVacJ-Alum adjuvant. The mice groups challenged intraperitoneally with live A. baumannii did not survive while the intranasally challenged group exhibited a significant reduction of 600 fold of the bacterial load in the lungs. The findings are of significant value in the development of novel adjuvanted vaccines and precise routes of administrations in combat against the notorious multidrug-resistant A.bauamnnii .","PeriodicalId":23337,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Medicine","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84640913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emergency of COVID-19 has caused global threatened and panic health security. In order to detect common regions and genes of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus 2, we collected the whole genome of all viruses available in databases for this family (55 complete genomes), and made comparative genomic analyses with the collected data. We performed an interactomics approach to identify miRNAs that could be affected in some regions of the whole virus genome. As well as, protein structure modeling was used for modeling of related sequence. Cladogram revealed Bat coronavirus, MERS-related coronavirus, SARS-related coronavirus and SARS coronavirus 2 are closely related. The most important genes involved in the disease were RELA in virus genome and ACE2 receptors and CLEC4M genes in the host genome. RELA gene was suppressed by hsa-miR-516b-3p, hsa-miR-3529-3p and hsa-miR-6749-3p, ACE2 receptor was suppressed by hsa-miR-23b-5p and hsa-miR-769-5p, and finally, hsa-miR-4462 and hsa-miR-5187-5p suppressed CLEC4M gene. Therefore, our results will help to control and treat COVID-19 and revealed new insight into the vaccine design and miRNA therapy. *Correspondence to: A.
