Abstract

Objective: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) is often misdiagnosed or delayed because of the complex and diverse clinical manifestations, especially the atypical initial presentation. Hyponatremia can be an infrequently isolated initial presentation of NMOSD and is associated with hypothalamus involvement. Awareness of this mechanism will help clinicians to identify NMOSD early, treat it in time and improve the prognosis. Methods: We describe a 36-year-old woman who developed repeated hyponatremia and then experienced diplopia. Serum AQP4, MOG, MBP and GFAP antibody were detected, and NMOSD was finally diagnosed. Results: She responded well to high-dose glucocorticoids. Sequential treatment with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was prescribed. Two-month follow-up revealed full recovery. So far, after 10 months, the patient still has no recurrence. Conclusion: For young patients, repeated hyponatremia, with or without slight fever, and no evidence of obvious infection, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and serum AQP4/MOG antibody detection may be useful to determine whether there is a possibility of NMOSD.

Abstract

To assess the disease burden and health economics of inpatients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in China by evaluating the direct, indirect, and intangible costs.A total of 863 patients were included for a cross-sectional retrospective study in 50 centers. The direct economic burden was measured by the cost of hospitalization and out-of-hospital application drugs, and the indirect economic burden was measured by the human capital method. The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) was used to express the intangible economic burden. Cost-utility analysis (CUA) using DALYs as indicators of health benefits was performed by calculating the incremental cost-utility ratio.The mean direct economic burden/year, daily medication expenses/year, DALY, indirect economic burden, and indirect economic burden/year were 27,655.57 Yuan, 17,944.97 Yuan, 10.89 Yuan, 512,041.7 Yuan, and 11,299.85 Yuan, respectively. For the study period of two years, the direct economic burden, daily medication expense, and indirect economic burden were 48.6%, 31.5%, and 19.85% of the total economic burden, respectively. Disease burden and the number of episodes of remission were not statistically significant (p0.001). The direct economic burden and total economic burden of the disease-modifying therapy (DMT) group were higher than those of the non-DMT group, but DALYs had no statistical significance (p0.001). CUA showed that inpatients with MS in the DMT group received a DALY every time compared with the non-DMT group.The DALY losses are concentrated in young and middle-aged Chinese people. In this two-year study, CUA prompted the application of DMT drugs to increase the economic burden and DALYs. However, follow-up time is still short, and further follow-up observation is required.

22. Athenoxat-1, Night Vision Experiments in LEO

Author

Manzoni, Giulio, Brama, Yesie L., and Zhang, Meini

Abstract

On 16th December 2015 Athenoxat-1 was launched by a PSLV from India in to Equatorial Orbit. Athenoxat-1 has been developed by Microspace Rapid Pte Ltd to demonstrate the feasibility of night vision imaging on a 3U Cubesat. The night vision payload is based on a high sensitive CCD and, in combination with the large optical aperture allows for very fast imaging of Earth surface in the night with 25m resolution. In addition to the main payload, Athenoxat-1 is equipped with 4 optical payloads for wide angle and horizon imaging. Sensor placement allows capturing a synchronized view of Earth and Space across almost 4Pi steradians thereby allowing various ADCS experiments such as Nadir determination and Moon tracking. Attitude control is achieved by magnetorquers and reaction wheels specifically developed for this mission. The talk will focus on the mission achievements, difficulties and challenges and, while discussing the lessons learned, will trace a roadmap for future work.

Abstract

We reported the dielectric properties of Pb( Mg1/3 Nb2/3) O3- PbTiO3 single crystal in the temperature range of 300-1073 K and the frequency range of 100 Hz-10 MHz. Our results showed the coexistence of both true- and pseudo-relaxor behaviors in the crystal. The true relaxor behavior related to the paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transition occurs at~423 K. The pseudo-relaxor behavior appearing at~773 K was found to be related to oxygen vacancies. Further investigation reveals that the pseudo-relaxor behavior has fine structure: it contains two oxygen-vacancy-related relaxation processes. The low-temperature relaxation process is a dipolar relaxation created by the hopping motions of the oxygen vacancies, and the high-temperature relaxation process is a Maxwell-Wagner relaxation caused by the sample/electrode contacts.

Abstract

Summary Background No treatment has consistently shown efficacy in slowing disability progression in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). We assessed the effect of siponimod, a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor 1,5 modulator, on disability progression in patients with SPMS. Methods This event-driven and exposure-driven, double-blind, phase 3 trial was done at 292 hospital clinics and specialised multiple sclerosis centres in 31 countries. Using interactive response technology to assign numbers linked to treatment arms, patients (age 18–60 years) with SPMS and an Expanded Disability Status Scale score of 3·0–6·5 were randomly assigned (2:1) to once daily oral siponimod 2 mg or placebo for up to 3 years or until the occurrence of a prespecified number of confirmed disability progression (CDP) events. The primary endpoint was time to 3-month CDP. Efficacy was assessed for the full analysis set (ie, all randomly assigned and treated patients); safety was assessed for the safety set. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01665144. Findings 1651 patients were randomly assigned between Feb 5, 2013, and June 2, 2015 (1105 to the siponimod group, and 546 to the placebo group). One patient did not sign the consent form, and five patients did not receive study drug, all of whom were in the siponimod group. 1645 patients were included in the analyses (1099 in the siponimod group and 546 in the placebo). At baseline, the mean time since first multiple sclerosis symptoms was 16·8 years (SD 8·3), and the mean time since conversion to SPMS was 3·8 years (SD 3·5); 1055 (64%) patients had not relapsed in the previous 2 years, and 918 (56%) of 1651 needed walking assistance. 903 (82%) patients receiving siponimod and 424 (78%) patients receiving placebo completed the study. 288 (26%) of 1096 patients receiving siponimod and 173 (32%) of 545 patients receiving placebo had 3-month CDP (hazard ratio 0·79, 95% CI 0·65–0·95; relative risk reduction 21%; p=0·013). Adverse events occurred in 975 (89%) of 1099 patients receiving siponimod versus 445 (82%) of 546 patients receiving placebo; serious adverse events were reported for 197 (18%) patients in the siponimod group versus 83 (15%) patients in the placebo group. Lymphopenia, increased liver transaminase concentration, bradycardia and bradyarrhythmia at treatment initiation, macular oedema, hypertension, varicella zoster reactivation, and convulsions occurred more frequently with siponimod than with placebo. Initial dose titration mitigated cardiac first-dose effects. Frequencies of infections, malignancies, and fatalities did not differ between groups. Interpretation Siponimod reduced the risk of disability progression with a safety profile similar to that of other S1P modulators and is likely to be a useful treatment for SPMS.
