    Abstract Background: Older people with noncancer conditions are less likely to be referred to palliative care services due to the inherent uncertain disease trajectory and a lack of standardised referral criteria. For older adults with noncancer conditions where prognostic estimation is unpredictable, needs-based criteria are likely more suitable. Eligibility criteria for participation in clinical trials on palliative care could inform a needs-based criteria. This review aimed to identify and synthesise eligibility criteria for trials in palliative care to construct a needs-based set of triggers for timely referral to palliative care for older adults severely affected by noncancer conditions.
    Methods: A systematic narrative review of published trials of palliative care service level interventions for older adults with noncancer conditions. Electronic databases Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov. were searched from inception to June 2022. We included all types of randomised controlled trials. We selected trials that reported eligibility criteria for palliative care involvement for older adults with noncancer conditions, where > 50% of the population was aged ≥ 65 years. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using a revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. Descriptive analysis and narrative synthesis provided descriptions of the patterns and appraised the applicability of included trial eligibility criteria to identify patients likely to benefit from receiving palliative care.
    Results: 27 randomised controlled trials met eligibility out of 9,584 papers. We identified six major domains of trial eligibility criteria in three categories, needs-based, time-based and medical history-based criteria. Needs-based criteria were composed of symptoms, functional status, and quality of life criteria. The major trial eligibility criteria were diagnostic criteria (n = 26, 96%), followed by medical history-based criteria (n = 15, 56%), and physical and psychological symptom criteria (n = 14, 52%).
    Conclusion: For older adults severely affected by noncancer conditions, decisions about providing palliative care should be based on the present needs related to symptoms, functional status, and quality of life. Further research is needed to examine how the needs-based triggers can be operationalized as referral criteria in clinical settings and develop international consensus on referral criteria for older adults with noncancer conditions.

    Abstract Loewi's discovery of acetylcholine (ACh) release from the frog vagus nerve and the discovery by Dale and Dudley of ACh in ox spleen led to the demonstration of chemical transmission of nerve impulses. ACh is now well-known to function as a neurotransmitter. However, advances in the techniques for ACh detection have led to its discovery in many lifeforms lacking a nervous system, including eubacteria, archaea, fungi, and plants. Notably, mRNAs encoding choline acetyltransferase and muscarinic and nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) have been found in uninnervated mammalian cells, including immune cells, keratinocytes, vascular endothelial cells, cardiac myocytes, respiratory, and digestive epithelial cells. It thus appears that non-neuronal cholinergic systems are expressed in a variety of mammalian cells, and that ACh should now be recognized not only as a neurotransmitter, but also as a local regulator of non-neuronal cholinergic systems. Here, we discuss the role of non-neuronal cholinergic systems, with a focus on immune cells. A current focus of much research on non-neuronal cholinergic systems in immune cells is α7 nAChRs, as these receptors expressed on macrophages and T cells are involved in regulating inflammatory and immune responses. This makes α7 nAChRs an attractive potential therapeutic target.

    Observations: A 72-year-old Japanese woman was injured by plant debris and developed oval corneal ulcers and hypopyon in the anterior chamber. After 5 days, she complained of pain, redness, and vision loss in her left eye and was treated with antibacterial eye drops and an ointment (1.5 % levofloxacin hydrate, cefmenoxime hydrochloride, and sterilization and disinfection eye drops; SAN-IODE and ofloxacin ophthalmic ointment). Examination revealed a worsening oval corneal ulcer with Descemet's folds and a faint hypopyon. Considering the infection from soil or plants and the poor response to intensive antibacterial eye drops, topical antifungal eye drops, i.e., 1 % voriconazole eye drops, and 1 % natamycin ointment were applied. Direct microscopy of the corneal scraping with Gram staining was performed and the result was negative. Cultures from corneal scrapings showed the growth of dark colonies after several days. The colony was identified as

    Abstract Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of histones, such as lysine acetylation and ubiquitination, regulate chromatin structure and gene expression. In living organisms, histone PTMs are catalyzed by histone-modifying enzymes. Here, we describe an entirely chemical method to introduce histone modifications in living cells without genetic manipulation. The chemical catalyst PEG-LANA-DSSMe activates a thioester acetyl donor, N,S-diacetylcysteamine (NAC-Ac), and promotes regioselective, synthetic histone acetylation at H2BK120 in living cells.
