However, the pathophysiology is still not fully understood and consequently current management guidelines are very symptom-specific, leading to mixed results. Here we present a study of 88 individuals with IBS who had baseline sequencing of their gut microbiome (stool samples), received targeted interventions that included dietary, supplement, prebiotic/probiotic, and lifestyle recommendations for a 30-day period, and a follow-up sequencing of their gut microbiome. The study's objectives were to demonstrate unique metagenomic signatures across the IBS phenotypes and to validate whether metagenomic-guided interventions could lead to improvement of symptom scores in individuals with IBS. Enrolled subjects also completed a baseline and post-intervention questionnaire that assessed their symptom scores. The average symptom score of an individual with IBS at baseline was 160 and at the endpoint of the study the average symptom score of the cohort was 100.9. The mixed IBS subtype showed the most significant reduction in symptom scores across the different subtypes (average decrease by 102 points, <i>P</i> = 0.005). The metagenomics analysis reveals shifts in the microbiome post-intervention that have been cross-validated with the literature as being associated with improvement of IBS symptoms. Given the complex nature of IBS, further studies with larger sample sizes, more targeted analyses, and a broader population cohort are needed to explore these results further.</p>","PeriodicalId":33608,"journal":{"name":"Precision Clinical Medicine","volume":"3 2","pages":"136-146"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/pcmedi/pbaa013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38170632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was confirmed pathologically after surgery to be a small intestinal G1 neuroendocrine tumor. Surgery was performed to remove approximately 25 cm of small bowel and a 3-cm solid mass located in the mesentery. The patient had a complete recovery and was tumor-free at the final follow-up. Small intestinal tumors including neuroendocrine tumors have always posed a diagnostic challenge.

Gregory-Evans","doi":"10.1093/pcmedi/pbaa009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/pcmedi/pbaa009","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a severe, genetically heterogeneous recessive eye disease in which ~ 35% of gene mutations are in-frame nonsense mutations coding for loss-of-function premature termination codons (PTCs) in mRNA. Nonsense suppression therapy allows read-through of PTCs leading to production of full-length protein. A limitation of nonsense suppression is that nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) degrades PTC-containing RNA transcripts. The purpose of this study was to determine whether inhibition of NMD could improve nonsense suppression efficacy in vivo. Using a high-throughput approach in the recessive cep290 zebrafish model of LCA (cep290;Q1223X), we first tested the NMD inhibitor Amlexanox in combination with the nonsense suppression drug Ataluren. We observed reduced retinal cell death and improved visual function. With these positive data, we next investigated whether this strategy was also applicable across species in two mammalian models: Rd12 (rpe65;R44X) and Rd3 (rd3;R107X) mouse models of LCA. In the Rd12 model, cell death was reduced, RPE65 protein was produced, and in vivo visual function testing was improved. We establish for the first time that the mechanism of action of Amlexanox in Rd12 retina was through reduced UPF1 phosphorylation. In the Rd3 model, however, no beneficial effect was observed with Ataluren alone or in combination with Amlexanox. This variation in response establishes that some forms of nonsense mutation LCA can be targeted by RNA therapies, but that this needs to be verified for each genotype. The implementation of precision medicine by identifying better responders to specific drugs is essential for development of validated retinal therapies.","PeriodicalId":33608,"journal":{"name":"Precision Clinical Medicine","volume":"181 1","pages":"113 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2020-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74545740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microenvironment of these lymphoid tissues can be immune suppressed, hence allowing for tumor progression. Understanding the spectrum of benign findings in bystander lymph nodes in immune checkpoint blockade therapy could prove to be key to understanding the mechanism and assessing treatment response. Methods Benign lymph nodes and spleen were evaluated from patients treated with immunotherapy who subsequently received postmortem examination. We used quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) to assess tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and macrophage marker expression and characterized activation status using a novel multiplexed QIF assay including CD3, GranzymeB, and Ki67. We performed immunohistochemistry to correlate results of QIF. Results Benign lymph nodes from non-responders to immunotherapy showed significantly higher expression of cytotoxic markers and proliferation index (Ki67) in T cells compared to responders. Higher expression of PD-L1 in macrophages was also observed. There was no significant difference in CD3+ expression, but higher levels of CD8+ T cells as well as CD20+ B cells were seen in lymph nodes of non-responders. No significant differences were seen between responder and non-responder splenic tissue. Findings were supported by traditional immunostaining methods. Conclusions While most studies in biomarkers for immunotherapy focus on tumor microenvironment, we show that benign lymph node microenvironment may predict response to immunotherapy. In responding patients, bystander lymph nodes appear to have been mobilized, resulting in reduced cytotoxic T cells. Conversely, patients whose disease progressed on immunotherapy demonstrate higher levels of macrophages that express increased PD-L1, and activated T cells not recruited to the tumor site.","PeriodicalId":33608,"journal":{"name":"Precision Clinical Medicine","volume":"119 1","pages":"44 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2020-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86124052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On 7 January 2020, the causal organism was identified as a new coronavirus, later named as the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Genome sequencing found the genetic sequence of 2019-nCoV homologous to that of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus. As of 29 January 2020, the virus had been diagnosed in more than 7000 patients in China and 77 patients in other countries. It is reported that both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with 2019-nCoV can play a role in disease transmission via airborne and contact. This finding has caused a great concern about the prevention of illness spread. The clinical features of the infection are not specific and are often indistinguishable from those of other respiratory infections, making it difficult to diagnose. Given that the virus has a strong ability to spread between individuals, it is of top priority to identify potential or suspected patients as soon as possible-or the virus may cause a serious pandemic. Therefore, a precision medicine approach to managing this disease is urgently needed for detecting and controlling the spread of the virus.
