Distinct clinical outcomes based on multiple serum cytokine and chemokine profiles rather than autoantibody profiles and ultrasound findings in rheumatoid arthritis: a prospective... by Yukitaka Ueki, Tom W J Huizinga, René E M Toes, Shoichi Fukui, Tomoki Origuchi, Takahiro Maeda, Atsushi Kawakami, Tomohiro Koga, Naoki Matsuoka, Toshihiko Hidaka, Naoki Iwamoto, Mami Tamai, Shin-ya Kawashiri, Akitomo Okada, Ayako Nishino, Tamami Yoshitama, Takahisa Suzuki, Toshimasa Shimizu, Shimpei Morimoto, Tomomi Tsuru, Karin A J van Schie, Masahiro Ayano, Remi Sumiyoshi, Yushiro Endo, Tohru Michitsuji, Kaori Furukawa, Masataka Umeda, Nobutaka Eiraku, Hiroaki Hamada

“…Logistic regression using baseline levels of anti-citrullinated protein antibody, IgM-anti-CCP2 positivity, the CDAI, the total power Doppler score, the cluster by cytokines and chemokines, MIP-1β, methotrexate dose and mechanisms of action revealed that cluster by cytokines and chemokines was the sole significant factor for CDAI remission at 12 months.Conclusions Specific patterns of cytokines and chemokines—no other clinical factors and autoantibody profiles—were important to distinguish patients with RA achieving remission at 12 months.Trial registration number UMIN000012524.…”

Trabeculectomy versus stepwise treatment for breaking the attack of acute primary angle closure in patients with long attack duration: study design and protocol for a multicentre r... by Jing Jiang, Qing Zhang, Bo Qu, Chao Dai, Mingguang He, Ye Zhang, Ning-Li Wang, Shuning Li, Guangxian Tang, Su Jie Fan, Zhi Li, Chi Liu, Xinqi Chang, Yanyan Cheng

“…However, patients with APAC in China and developed countries differ in disease characteristics as the Chinese have longer attack duration and lower success rate in breaking the attack with solely medication or laser therapy. It has been proved that long attack duration is a risk factor for failed medical or laser therapies in subsiding APAC. …”

Evaluation of nitrous oxide reduction in solid carbon source-driven counter-diffusional biofilm denitrification system by Yingrui Liu, Feng Chen, Yanying He, Yufen Wang, Tingting Zhu, Yindong Tong, Yingxin Zhao, Bing-Jie Ni, Yiwen Liu

“…Under the condition that TN concentration was maintained at 30 mg-N/L, the TN removal rate in the scheme containing NO3-+NO2-+N2O was observed to be 1.75–2.3 times higher than that of the scheme with sole NOx of 30 mg-N/L. This suggested that when treating wastewater containing multiple NOx, the PCL-driven biofilm denitrification system can not only relatively improve the total nitrogen removal efficiency, but also relatively alleviate N2O emissions. …”
