It is recommended for nursing researchers to assess measurement properties beyond structural validity and internal consistency using more rigorous methodologies.
The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has mobilized global research at an unprecedented scale. While challenges associated with the COVID-19 trial landscape have been discussed previously, no comprehensive reviews have been conducted to assess the reporting, design, and data sharing practices of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
The purpose of this review was to gain insight into the current landscape of reporting, methodological design, and data sharing practices for COVID-19 RCTs.
We conducted three searches to identify registered clinical trials, peer-reviewed publications, and pre-print publications.
After screening eight major trial registries and 7844 records, we identified 178 registered trials and 38 publications describing 35 trials, including 25 peer-reviewed publications and 13 pre-prints.
Trial ID, registry, location, population, intervention, control, study design, recruitment target, actual recruitment, outcomes, data sharing statement, and time of data sharing were extracted.
Of 178 registered trials, 112 (62.92%) were in hospital settings, median planned recruitment was 100 participants (IQR 60, 168), and the majority (n=166, 93.26%) did not report results in their respective registries. Of 35 published trials, 31 (88.57%) were in hospital settings, median actual recruitment was 86 participants (IQR 55.5, 218), 10 (28.57%) did not reach recruitment targets, and 27 trials (77.14%) reported plans to share data.
The findings of our study highlight limitations in the design and reporting practices of COVID-19 RCTs and provide guidance towards more efficient reporting of trial results, greater diversity in patient settings, and more robust data sharing.

In the study of mechanisms underlying its development attention has been paid to the microtubular network of its cells, mainly on βIII tubulin, considered as a marker of malignancy. In the present work, we chose to investigate the tubulin code in glioblastoma cells, analyzing the degree of interaction between tubulin post-translational modifications and different proteins associated with them. HG6-64-1 The pattern of diverse associated proteins such as EB-1, CLIP-170 and kinesin-1 and their degree of co-distribution with the most abundant post-translational tubulin modifications (tyrosination, acetylation and polyglutamylation) were evaluated. Through immunofluorescence we have shown that EB-1, CLIP-170 and kinesin-1 were well detectable in glioblastoma cells. The double fluorescence and colocalization index between the post-translational modifications of tubulin and associated proteins showed that tyrosinated α-tubulin has significantly high affinity with EB-1, CLIP-170 and kinesin-1, while for acetylated and polyglutamylated tubulin, the degree of interaction with the three associated proteins evaluated was less apparent. Data presented in this paper underline the importance of a thorough analysis of the microtubular mechanics in glioblastoma cells. This may suggest new experimental therapeutic approaches able to act more selectively on the microtubular network of cells in this type of cancer.We investigated whether lipoxin A4 (LXA4) inhibits the development of endometriosis by suppressing local estradiol synthesis. An endometriosis mouse model was constructed by surgical transplantation to subcutanous tissue sites. The treatment group received daily injections of LXA4 (10 μg/Kg) for 21days after which lesions were recovered. We measured 17β-HSD1, 17β-HSD2, CYP11A1, CYP19A1, CYP17A1, and estrogen receptor mRNA expression levels using real-time RT-PCR. In addition, immunohistochemistry was performed to determine protein expression and localization. After LXA4 administration, the volume of endometrial lesions was significantly reduced. Administration of LXA4 resulted in a more rudimentary architecture with a reduced number of developed glands surrounded by a small amount of stroma. LXA4 downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of 17β-HSD1, CYP11A1, CYP19A1, CYP17A1, ERα, and ERβ. Furthermore, LXA4 downregulated the expression of ERβ, aromatase expression, and 17β-HSD1 enzyme activity, which affected local estradiol production, resulting in reduced endometriosis. Results from our endometriosis mouse model showed that treatment with LXA4 reduced expression of enzymes and receptors associated or implicated with estrogen-dependent regulation of extra-uterine tissue. We believe that LXA4 has a potential therapeutic value for the treatment of endometriosis.India imposed one of the world's strictest population-wide lockdowns on March 25, 2020 for COVID-19. We estimated epidemiological parameters, evaluated the effect of control measures on the epidemic in India, and explored strategies to exit lockdown. We obtained patient-level data to estimate the delay from onset to confirmation and the asymptomatic proportion. We estimated the basic and time-varying reproduction number (R0 and Rt) after adjusting for imported cases and delay to confirmation using incidence data from March 4 to April 25, 2020. Using a SEIR-QDPA model, we simulated lockdown relaxation scenarios and increased testing to evaluate lockdown exit strategies. R0 for India was estimated to be 2·08, and the Rt decreased from 1·67 on March 30 to 1·16 on April 22. We observed that the delay from the date of lockdown relaxation to the start of the second wave increases as lockdown is extended farther after the first wave peak-this delay is longer if lockdown is relaxed gradually. Aggressive measures such as lockdowns may be inherently enough to suppress an outbreak; however, other measures need to be scaled up as lockdowns are relaxed. Lower levels of social distancing when coupled with a testing ramp-up could achieve similar outbreak control as an aggressive social distancing regime where testing was not increased.
