Hippo-YAP pathway is a newly discovered pathway controlling the growth, and plays important roles in the regulation of stem cell function and tissue regeneration. Previously we found that a higher expression of YAP in NP, and LPS was able to activate the hippo-YAP pathway in NESCs. Thus, we hypothesize that the aberrant proliferation and differentiation of NESCs could be regulated via the hippo-YAP pathway.

Introduction: The osteoarthrosis is incurable, one of the most incapacitating disease around the world and your prevalence is increasing every year. The main consequences of this disease is pain and loss of functionality as a result of biomechanical limitations coming from articular inflammation. Among the variability of therapeutic resources, we propose MatPilates like a no drug intervention, that probably will contribute for a decrease in the symptoms of this disease. Objective: It is hypothesized that MatPilates is a method capable of decrease pain and increase functionality in elderly woman with osteoarthrosis. Methods: This study is a randomized double blind clinical trial, in which the volunteer need be in between 60 and 69 years old. Will be formed of two groups: MatPilates Group (MG) and Control Group (CG), and the ideal "n" will be calculated in a pilot study.
The purpose of this research study is to test an experimental procedure called intra-arterial delivery of verapamil in patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke. This study investigates the safety of intra-arterial delivery of verapamil, a drug used to treat vasospasm (spasm of a blood vessel), and how it affects recovery from stroke. Recruitment is limited to patients that have received mechanical thrombectomy as standard of care.
Comparing patient satisfaction and retention of upper complete denture fabricated using two different denture base materials, the first fabricated using rapid prototyping method while the second is following conventional methods.
Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), which includes Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Grave's disease (GD), are the most common organ-specific autoimmune diseases and affect more women than men, with a female-to-male ratio from 5 to 10. Many studies have indicated that alterations in the gut microbiota are important environmental factors in the development of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Investigators systematically performed a comparative analysis of the gut microbiota in AITD patients and healthy controls.
Surgical treatment is still gold standard for pilonidal sinus disease. Several surgical techniques have been proposed to treat this disease in the last two decades. A new method - midline excision of pilonidal sinus and wound closure using gluteus maximus fascia plasty flap (GMFF) - was proposed recently as a new method of treatment that results in low reccurence rate and good cosmetic results. The aim of this study is to compare a new method (GMFF) with a traditional method (midline excision and primary closure) in terms of recurrence rate, complications and patient satisfaction with results.
Aortic stenosis is a commonly found heart disease, which often leads to mortality and morbidity. Valve replacement using mechanical prosthetic valve will have an expensive cost especially in the Integrated Heart Center of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. In addition to the expensive cost, patients who have mechanical prosthetic valve have an increased risk of infection of the prosthetic valve and developing thrombo-embolism thus have to consume a lifelong anticoagulant therapy that increase risk of bleeding. A surgical technique using autologous pericardium is an alternative to prosthetic valve replacement, one of which is a single pericardium strip technique that uses modified autologous pericardium technique from Ozaki et al and Duran et al. The objective of this study is to investigate the outcome of aortic valve replacement with a single pericardium strip of autologous pericardium in patients with aortic stenosis. This study will be conducted at the Integrated Heart Center of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, by using quasi experimental type time series design. Subjects are patients with aortic stenosis who are candidates for valve replacement. Inclusion criteria is having low to moderate surgical risk (EuroScore II <5). The sampling method used in this study is non-probability consecutive sampling. This study will assess the outcome of the aortic valve replacement (valve hemodynamic, left ventricular reverse remodelling, sST2, 6MWT) at 3 months and 6 months post-aortic valve replacement. It is expected that aortic valve replacement using a single strip of autologous pericardium will have good valve hemodynamic outcome, yield left ventricular reverse remodelling, decrease sST2 level, show upgrade in 6MWT, and have shorter aortic cross clamp time so that it can be an alternative to aortic valve replacement using mechanical prosthetic valve that is less expensive and have good outcomes in patient with aortic stenosis.

Cystinosis is a generalized lysosomal storage disease with a reported incidence of about 1:180,000 live births. There are estimated 110-140 cases in France (approximately 500 in Western Europe). The disease is caused by mutations in the CTNS gene coding for cystinosin, a lysosomal carrier protein. The lysosomal cystine accumulation leads to cellular dysfunction in many organs. The first symptoms start at about 6 months of age. In the absence of specific therapy, end stage renal disease occurs between 6 and 12 years of age. Survival beyond this age is associated with the development of extra-renal complications. Renal transplantation and the availability of cystine-depleting medical therapy, cysteamine (EU/1/97/039/001, EU/1/97/039/003), have radically altered the natural history of cystinosis. Cystinosis is a good example of a "paediatric" disease where patients now survive into adolescence and adulthood. These individuals have complex, multisystem problems that require on-going care. Despite some progress in recent years there are still significant limitations in the knowledge of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. A first European registry was launched in 2011, using the CEMARA application developed by the Banque Nationale de Données Maladies Rares (BNDMR, CNIL authorisation number: 1187326), allowing the collection of data from France, Belgium and Italy. The objective of the current study is to translate this database into a cohort study that will allow and facilitate the collection of a wider range of data including clinical, and personal data such as quality of life data, from an increased number of European countries, improve the monitoring, data-management and analysis of the data, offer the possibility for patients to actively participate to and benefit from the study by developing a module in which patients will enter their own data on quality of life with a direct feed-back on the general results. This project is a unique opportunity for building a consensual European academic cohort not based on company driven, "drug-oriented" objectives. The cohort will collect clinical details to analyse patient outcomes thus providing audit of patient care & clinical effectiveness. It will be possible, through the cohort, to indicate where improvements need to be made and ultimately improve care to the highest standards.
