Article Abstract
Cancer chemoprevention is an important strategy to prevent, reverse, or suppress the development of cancer. One of the target pathways that has emerged in recent years is the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE system that regulates the protection of cells against various carcinogens and their metabolites. Increased concentrations of the redox transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) induces the activation of antioxidant and phase 2 detoxifying genes. Nrf2 is regulated by substrate adaptor protein Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) that can target Nrf2 for ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome. The interaction between Nrf2 and Keap1 can be disrupted at the protein-protein interface in order to increase Nrf2 activity for potential therapeutic purposes. This chapter describes a protocol for a steady-state fluorescence or Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay to examine the Keap1-Nrf2 protein-protein interaction (PPI), to investigate the effects of Nrf2 mutations on Keap1 binding and finally to identify potential inhibitors of this PPI. In the assay system Keap1 is conjugated to an YFP protein at the N-terminus whereas an Nrf2-derived 16-mer peptide containing a high-affinity "ETGE" motif is conjugated to a CFP protein at the N-terminus.

The Effect of Multiple Oral Doses of a Glycine Transporter 1 Inhibitor, Iclepertin (BI 425809), on the Steady-state Pharmacokinetics of a Combined Oral Contraceptive Containing Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel: a Phase I Clinical Trial in Healthy Females.

Background: Iclepertin is a selective inhibitor of glycine transporter 1 recently investigated as a novel treatment for cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia. Iclepertin is a potential mild inducer of liver cytochrome P450 3A4, which metabolises ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel, which are used in combined oral contraceptives (OCs).
Objectives: This trial investigated the potential drug interaction effect of steady-state iclepertin on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of combined OCs.
Vendor-neutral MR bone imaging in musculoskeletal imaging.

A vendor-neutral MR bone imaging technique based on 3D time-of-flight MR angiography with spoiled gradient recalled acquisition in the steady state (TOF-SPGR) was developed to enhance the depiction of bone and calcification/ossification. This approach is independent of scanner manufacturer and application type, enabling reduced radiation exposure by replacing or triaging further CT examinations. This article describes the optimization of scan parameters for clinical musculoskeletal protocols and explores its clinical applications with representative cases.

Introduction: The traditional method for quantifying the kinetics of the increase in the body's consumption of oxygen ( O) during exercise transitions to steady state involves application of a mono-exponential function. Anomalies exist to question the validity of this method, as they show the initial (∼1 min) of this O response is linear.
Methods: Fourteen highly endurance trained subjects (12 males, 2 females) completed a ramp incremental cycling protocol, as well as 8 different constant load trials at 43 to 148 % of their critical power (CP).
Splenic sequestration crisis in children with sickle cell disease in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Acute splenic sequestration crisis (ASSC) is a potentially life-threatening complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). Previous studies have shown that patients who carry the African sickle gene haplotypes have more severe SCD than those with the Asian haplotype. In Saudi Arabia (SA), people living in the eastern region are known to carry the Asian haplotype, whereas patients in the southwestern (SW) region are more likely to carry the African haplotype.

Background: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is present in secondary granules of neutrophils and it is a relatively newly recognized marker of kidney diseases. The fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) is a marker of inflammation but its diagnostic value has not been determined in sickle cell disease patients with kidney diseases. This study investigated the diagnostic roles of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL) and FAR for kidney diseases in steady-state adult sickle cell disease (SCD) patients.
