IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 2968: Vehicular Air Pollution in Houston, Texas: An Intra-Categorical Analysis of Environmental Injustice
This article contributes to distributive environmental justice (EJ) research on air pollution by analyzing racial/ethnic and related intra-categorical disparities in health risk from exposure to on-road hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in Harris County, Texas. Previous studies in this urban area have not examined intra-ethnic heterogeneity in EJ outcomes or disproportionate exposure to vehicular pollutants. Our goal was to determine how the EJ implications of cancer risk from exposure to on-road HAP...

Vertical Growth Phase and Sentinel Lymph Node Metastases
We appreciate the interest that Roncati and Piscioli showed in our recent publication, in which we evaluated the risk of sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases in nonulcerated, T1b melanoma by the new 8th edition American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging criteria.1 The authors propose a model of melanoma progression based on the transition from a radial growth phase to a vertical growth phase (VGP) that can predict biologic aggressiveness and propensity to metastasize.

Histogenetic Guidelines to Perform Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in T1b Melanomas of the 8th Edition American Joint Committee on Cancer
In comparison with the 7th Edition, the 8th Edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for melanoma no longer considers the mitotic count in the a or b T1 categorization, but it adopts a sub-stratification based on Breslow depth: T1a ≤ 0.8 mm without ulceration and T1b ≤ 0.8 mm with ulceration or 0.8 to 1 mm with or without ulceration. Skin melanoma can be subdivided by Breslow depth into thin melanoma (≤1 mm) or thick melanoma (>1  mm). According to the AJCC 8th Edition,...

Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Clinical Significance and Impact on Prognosis
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most common causes of cardiovascular death. The most often PE etiology is a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities, but embolic material can arise in pelvic or upper extremity veins as well as in right heart chambers. There is growing number of evidences of atrial fibrillation (AF) involvement in PE. The presence of AF in patients with PE may be both the cause and the consequence of PE. The PE association with AF should be considered in patients...

AVE 0991 Attenuates Pyroptosis and Liver Damage after Heatstroke by Inhibiting the ROS-NLRP3 Inflammatory Signalling Pathway
We previously demonstrated that angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), an essential endocrine factor, inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome by regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in fibrotic livers. We also demonstrated that the NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to the liver damage induced by pyroptosis after heatstroke. However, the role of Ang-(1-7) in the hepatocytes under heat stress remains uncertain. We aimed to examine the change in angiotensin peptides in the livers affected by heatstroke and the effect...

Synergistic Application of Platelet-Rich Fibrin and 1% Alendronate in Periodontal Bone Regeneration: A Meta-Analysis
Periodontal bone regeneration relies on coupled and cooperative bone formation and resorption. Accordingly a novel strategy on concurrent use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) (anabolic agent) and 1% alendronate (ALN) (anticatabolic agent) was proposed recently in regenerative periodontal treatment. It was supposed to enhance bone formation and reduce bone resorption simultaneously. However, there is a lack of evidence-based studies to answer whether this concurrent application was superior to single...

In pathology or under damaging conditions, the properties of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) change. An example of such change is GC enrichment, which drastically alters the biological properties of cfDNA. GC-rich cfDNA is a factor of stress signaling, whereas genomic cfDNA is biologically inactive. GC-rich cfDNA stimulates TLR9-MyD88-NF-κB signaling cascade, leading to an increase in proinflammatory cytokine levels in the organism. In addition, GC-rich DNA is prone to oxidation and oxidized cfDNA can stimulate...
