    Abstract Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), representative of the capacity to combat oxidative stress, is closely linked to numerous diseases. Here, we present a protocol for measuring TAC using minimal samples that are stable across varying pH levels and at room temperature. We describe steps for preparing and loading samples and working solutions and conducting and analyzing the colorimetric reaction. Sample sources include aqueous humor, vitreous, tears, and plasma, which allow the protocol to be used in various clinical diagnostic settings. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to publications by Tsao et al. (2022).

    Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained atrial arrhythmia. Accurate detection of the timing and possibility of AF termination is vital for optimizing rhythm and rate control strategies. The present study evaluated whether the ventricular response (VR) in AF offers a distinctive electrocardiographic indicator for predicting AF termination.
    Methods: Patients experiencing sustained paroxysmal AF for more than 3 h were observed using 24-h ambulatory Holter monitoring. VR within 5 min before AF termination (VR
    Results: Data from 37 episodes of paroxysmal AF revealed that the minimum VR
    Conclusions: Elevated VR rates during AF episodes may be predictors for the termination of AF, especially during the daytime and in patients with nondilated left atria. These findings may guide the development of clinical approaches to rhythm control in AF.

    Abstract The widely used Centrality of Event Scale (CES) measures the extent that a traumatic event serves as a central component of self-identity, a reference point, and a turning point in an individual's life story. The present study aimed to develop a Chinese version of the CES and assess its reliability, criterion validity, and factor structure. Data were collected from three samples of trauma-exposed Taiwanese individuals (N = 939), including 420 earthquake survivors, 300 trauma-exposed community adults, and 219 trauma-exposed undergraduate students. We conducted an exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis and compared the resulting models with a one-factor model and the originally proposed model. The results indicated that a new three-factor model, S-Bχ

    Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relapsing-remitting disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Anxiety symptoms are commonly observed in patients with IBD, but the mechanistic link between IBD and anxiety remains elusive. Here, we sought to characterize gut-to-brain signaling and brain circuitry responsible for the pathological expression of anxiety-like behaviors in male dextran sulfate sodium-induced (DSS-induced) experimental colitis mice. We found that DSS-treated mice displayed increased anxiety-like behaviors, which were prevented by bilateral GI vagal afferent ablation. The locus coeruleus (LC) is a relay center connecting the nucleus tractus solitarius to the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in controlling anxiety-like behaviors. Chemogenetic silencing of noradrenergic LC projections to the BLA reduced anxiety-like behaviors in DSS-treated mice. This work expands our understanding of the neural mechanisms by which IBD leads to comorbid anxiety and emphasizes a critical role of gastric vagal afferent signaling in gut-to-brain regulation of emotional states.

    Abstract Despite advances in chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, prognosis in gastroesophageal cancers (GEC) remains poor. Recent studies have demonstrated that immune checkpoint inhibitors specific to the PD-1/PD-L1 axis can improve survival with dramatic durability for a subset of patients with GEC. Radiation therapy (RT) has been shown to enhance priming and anti-tumor immunogenicity. The combination of these two treatments has shown promising results acting synergistically in pre-clinical and clinical models. Much of this synergy appears linked to in-field radiation responses, but also the abscopal response where out-of-field tumors demonstrate regression. In this review, we summarize the current role of immunotherapy and radiation in GEC. We also highlight progress from preclinical studies and translational biomarker analyses that provide rationale for ongoing efforts combining immune checkpoint inhibition and radiotherapy specifically in GECs. Questions that remain unanswered in the clinic are the optimal radiation dosing, timing, and fractionation strategies to augment abscopal immune responses. Increasing recognition of the heterogeneity of immunosuppressive mechanisms that can arise in response to radiation indicates the need for novel immune checkpoint inhibitors that target beyond the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. Smartly designed prospective trials incorporating these two approaches with ongoing translational analyses will be critical in increasing the success of combinatorial radiation and immunotherapy strategies in this disease.
