Objectives: To quantify the cause-specific mortality associated with adverse effects of medical treatment (AEMT) in the United States from 1990 to 2016 by age group, sex, and state of residence and to describe trends in types of harm and associations with other diseases and injuries. Design, Setting, and Participants: Cohort study using 1990-2016 data on mortality due to AEMT from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) 2016 study, which assessed death certificates of US decedents. Exposures: Death with International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-coded registration. Main Outcomes and Measures: Mortality associated with AEMT. Secondary analyses were performed on all ICD codes in the death certificate's causal chain to describe associations between AEMT and other diseases and injuries. Results: From 1990 to 2016, there were an estimated 123 603 deaths (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 100 856-163 814 deaths) with AEMT as the underlying cause. Despite an overall increase in the number of deaths due to AEMT over time, the national age-standardized mortality rate due to AEMT decreased by 21.4% (95% UI, 1.3%-32.2%) from 1.46 (95% UI, 1.09-1.76) deaths per 100 000 population in 1990 to 1.15 (95% UI, 1.00-1.60) deaths per 100 000 population in 2016. Men and women had similar rates of AEMT mortality, and those 70 years or older had mortality rates nearly 20-fold greater compared with those aged 15 to 49 years (mortality rate in 2016 for both sexes, 7.93 [95% UI, 7.23-11.45] per 100 000 population for those aged >=70 years vs 0.38 [95% UI, 0.34-0.43] per 100 000 population for those aged 15-49 years). Per 100 000 population, California had the lowest age-standardized AEMT mortality rate at 0.84 deaths (95% UI, 0.57-1.47 deaths), whereas Mississippi had the highest mortality rate at 1.67 deaths (95% UI, 1.19-2.03 deaths). Surgical and perioperative events were the most common subtype of AEMT, accounting for 63.6% of all deaths for which an AEMT was identified as the underlying cause. Conclusions and Relevance: This study's findings suggest a modest reduction in the mortality rate associated with AEMT in the United States from 1990 to 2016 while also observing increased mortality associated with advancing age and noted geographic variability.

Association of Adverse Effects of Medical Treatment With Mortality in the United States: A Secondary Analysis of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study. Importance: More than 20 years have passed since the first publication of estimates of the extent of medical harm occurring in hospitals in the United States. Since then, considerable resources have been allocated to improve patient safety, yet policymakers lack a clear gauge of the progress made.

Salivary dysfunction frequently appears in a wide range of older people and thus is a physiological and biological aspect of aging. The transcription factor Dec1 (differentiated embryo chondrocyte expressed gene 1) is essential for the regulation of cellular senescence. Here, we explored the morphological and physiological abnormalities and the microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in the submandibular glands (SMGs) of young (3-month-old) and of aged (24-month-old) wild-type (WT) and Dec1KO mice. Hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining, Masson's Trichrome staining, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and quantitative real time PCR were employed. MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiles were examined using an Agilent system with a Mouse 8x60K array. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed an increased oxidative stress response (8-OHdG), increased expression levels of type I collagen in the fibrotic tissues with substantial amounts of fibroblasts and collagen fibers, the presence of CCl-22-positive lymphocytes infiltrating the SMGs of aged WT mice and a subsequently enhanced expression of fibrosis-associated gene (MMP-2) in the aged SMGs. The water channel protein aquaporin-5 (AQP5) was expressed in the basal cytoplasmic regions of acini in young SMGs but showed a decreased expression in aged SMGs. Myoepithelial cell markers (p63 immunoreactivity and a-SMA immunofluorescence staining) were also decreased in aged SMGs. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed decreased mRNA expression levels of AQP5 and increased mRNA expression levels of Dec1 in aged WT mice. All those characteristics were attenuated in aged Dec1KO mice. There were no apparent differences between young WT and Dec1KO mice. Of the miRNAs analyzed, miR-181c-5p, miR-141-3p, miR-374c-5p and miR-466i-3p are proposed regulatory targets of Dec1 and AQP5 genes that are involved in SMG dysfunction in aged mice. We suggest that a Dec1 deficiency might alleviate the aging-induced hypofunction of SMGs and relevant alterations of Dec1 would be useful to keep SMGs healthy. This study provides clues for determining unique microRNAs concerned with SMG dysfunction. Subsequent activation of such diversely expressed miRNAs be of great value in clarifying the nature of age-related alterations in SMGs." ], "offsets": [ [ 79, 2499 ] ] } ]

Dec1 deficiency restores the age-related dysfunctions of submandibular glands. Age-related organ and tissue-specific cell kinetic and morphological alterations are associated with the incidence of numerous diseases in old age. Salivary dysfunction frequently appears in a wide range of older people and thus is a physiological and biological aspect of aging. The transcription factor Dec1 (differentiated embryo chondrocyte expressed gene 1) is essential for the regulation of cellular senescence. Here, we explored the morphological and physiological abnormalities and the microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in the submandibular glands (SMGs) of young (3-month-old) and of aged (24-month-old) wild-type (WT) and Dec1KO mice. Hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining, Masson's Trichrome staining, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and quantitative real time PCR were employed. MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiles were examined using an Agilent system with a Mouse 8x60K array. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed an increased oxidative stress response (8-OHdG), increased expression levels of type I collagen in the fibrotic tissues with substantial amounts of fibroblasts and collagen fibers, the presence of CCl-22-positive lymphocytes infiltrating the SMGs of aged WT mice and a subsequently enhanced expression of fibrosis-associated gene (MMP-2) in the aged SMGs. The water channel protein aquaporin-5 (AQP5) was expressed in the basal cytoplasmic regions of acini in young SMGs but showed a decreased expression in aged SMGs. Myoepithelial cell markers (p63 immunoreactivity and a-SMA immunofluorescence staining) were also decreased in aged SMGs. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed decreased mRNA expression levels of AQP5 and increased mRNA expression levels of Dec1 in aged WT mice. All those characteristics were attenuated in aged Dec1KO mice. There were no apparent differences between young WT and Dec1KO mice. Of the miRNAs analyzed, miR-181c-5p, miR-141-3p, miR-374c-5p and miR-466i-3p are proposed regulatory targets of Dec1 and AQP5 genes that are involved in SMG dysfunction in aged mice. We suggest that a Dec1 deficiency might alleviate the aging-induced hypofunction of SMGs and relevant alterations of Dec1 would be useful to keep SMGs healthy. This study provides clues for determining unique microRNAs concerned with SMG dysfunction. Subsequent activation of such diversely expressed miRNAs be of great value in clarifying the nature of age-related alterations in SMGs.

A framework for modeling ocular drug transport and flow through the eye using micro-CT. This study uses micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging for assessment of concentration and transport mechanisms of ocular drug surrogates following intravitreal injection. Injections of an iodinated contrast agent were administered to enucleated porcine eyes prior to scanning over 192 min. Image analysis was performed using signal profiles and regions of interest that corresponded to specific iodine concentrations. Diffusion coefficients of the injected iodine solutions were calculated using nonlinear regression analysis with a diffusion model. There was a predominantly diffusive component in the movement of the contrast to the back of the eye in the horizontal (sagittal & coronal) directions, with ultimate retinal fate observed after 120 min. The diffusion coefficients were found to have a mean of 4.87 x 10(-4) mm(2) s(-1) and standard deviation of 8.39 x 10(-5) mm(2) s(-1) for 150 mg ml(-1) iodine concentration and 6.13 x 10(-4) +- 1.83 x 10(-4) mm(2) s(-1) for 37.5 mg ml(-1) concentration. However, it should be noted that these coefficients were time dependent and were found to decay as the diffusion front interacted with the retinal wall. A real-time, accurate, non-invasive method of tracking a bolus and its concentration is achieved using a high spatial resolution and fast scanning speed micro-CT system.

Already 0.1 per cent Tetracaine (20-fold dilution of the clinical concentration) and 0.25 per cent Propipocain (4-resp. 6-fold dilution of the clinical concentration) produced an irreversible stoppage of ciliary activity which may impair the pulmonary clearance. Therefore only Lidocaine is recommended for local anaesthesia of the tracheal and bronchial mucosa because of its low toxicity and its effectiveness.

Socioeconomic and demographic factors modify the association between informal caregiving and health in the Sandwich Generation. BACKGROUND: Nearly 50 million Americans provide informal care to an older relative or friend. Many are members of the "sandwich generation", providing care for elderly parents and children simultaneously. Although evidence suggests that the negative health consequences of caregiving are more severe for sandwiched caregivers, little is known about how these associations vary by sociodemographic factors. METHODS: We abstracted data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to determine how the association between caregiving and health varies by sociodemographic factors, using ordinal logistic regression with interaction terms and stratification by number of children, income, and race/ethnicity. RESULTS: The association between informal caregiving and health varied by membership in the "sandwich generation," income, and race/ethnicity. This association was significant among subjects with one (OR=1.13, 95% CI [1.04, 1.24]) and two or more children (OR=1.17, 95% CI=1.09, 1.26]), but not in those without children (OR=1.01, 95% CI [0.97, 1.05]).

Methods: Ten healthy young participants after an exposure to regular walking and slip-perturbation trial on a treadmill, performed mental imagery and observation tasks in the MR scanner.

Most of approaches showed signs of anti-cancer activity and a good safety profile in early-phase clinical trials. Since IO provided benefit only to a small subgroup of TNBC patients so far, identifying predictive biomarkers is a priority to refine patient-selection.

Preclinical rationale is provided for each immune target, predominant expression, and function. Clinical implications and preliminary available trial results are discussed and finally, we reflect on aspects of future expectations and challenges in this field. EXPERT OPINION: Several immune strategies have been investigated in TNBC, including co-inhibitory molecules beyond PD1-PD-L1 axis, co-stimulatory checkpoints, cancer vaccines, adoptive cell transfer, combination therapies, as well as different routes of administration. Most of approaches showed signs of anti-cancer activity and a good safety profile in early-phase clinical trials. Since IO provided benefit only to a small subgroup of TNBC patients so far, identifying predictive biomarkers is a priority to refine patient-selection. Data from ongoing clinical trials, with the gradually improving interpretation of the breast tumor immune environment, will hopefully refine the role of new immune targets for the treatment of TNBC.

9-substituted 6,6-dimethyl-11-oxo-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]carbazoles as highly selective and potent anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitors. 9-Substituted 6,6-dimethyl-11-oxo-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[b]carbazoles were discovered as highly selective and potent anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors by structure-based drug design. The high target selectivity was achieved by introducing a substituent close to the E(0) region of the ATP binding site, which has a unique amino acid sequence. Among the identified inhibitors, compound 13d showed highly selective and potent inhibitory activity against ALK with an IC(50) value of 2.9 nM and strong antiproliferative activity against KARPAS-299 with an IC(50) value of 12.8 nM. The compound also displayed significant antitumor efficacy in an established ALK fusion gene-positive anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) xenograft model in mice without body weight loss.

Structure of phenoxazinone synthase from Streptomyces antibioticus reveals a new type 2 copper center.

It contains a tightly, but noncovalently, bound FAD and a redox-active disulfide, which cycle between the oxidized and reduced forms during catalysis. The mechanism of reduction of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipoamide dehydrogenase by NADH and [4S-(2)H]-NADH was studied anaerobically at 4 degrees C and pH 7.5 by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Three phases of enzyme reduction were observed. The first phase, characterized by a decrease in absorbance at 400-500 nm and an increase in absorbance at 550-700 nm, was fast (k(for) = 1260 s(-)(1), k(rev) = 590 s(-)(1)) and represents the formation of FADH(2).NAD(+), an intermediate that has never been observed before in any wild-type lipoamide dehydrogenase. A primary deuterium kinetic isotope effect [(D)(k(for) + k(rev)) approximately 4.2] was observed on this phase. The second phase, characterized by regain of the absorbance at 400-500 nm, loss of the 550-700 nm absorbance, and gain of 500-550 nm absorbance, was slower (k(obs) = 200 s(-)(1)). This phase represents the intramolecular transfer of electrons from FADH(2) to the redox-active disulfide to generate the anaerobically stable two-electron reduced enzyme, EH(2). The third phase, characterized by a decrease in absorbance at 400-550 nm, represents the formation of the four-electron reduced form of the enzyme, EH(4). The observed rate constant for this phase showed a decreasing NADH concentration dependence, and results from the slow (k(for) = 57 s(-)(1), k(rev) = 128 s(-)(1)) isomerization of EH(2) or slow release of NAD(+) before rapid NADH binding and reaction to form EH(4). The mechanism of oxidation of EH(2) by NAD(+) was also investigated under the same conditions. The 530 nm charge-transfer absorbance of EH(2) shifted to 600 nm upon NAD(+) binding in the dead time of mixing of the stopped-flow instrument and represents formation of the EH(2).NAD(+) complex. This was followed by two phases. The first phase (k(obs) = 750 s(-)(1)), characterized by a small decrease in absorbance at 435 and 458 nm, probably represents limited accumulation of FADH(2).NAD(+).

The lipoamide dehydrogenase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis permits the direct observation of flavin intermediates in catalysis. Lipoamide dehydrogenase catalyses the NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of the dihydrolipoyl cofactors that are covalently attached to the acyltransferase components of the pyruvate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and glycine reductase multienzyme complexes. It contains a tightly, but noncovalently, bound FAD and a redox-active disulfide, which cycle between the oxidized and reduced forms during catalysis. The mechanism of reduction of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipoamide dehydrogenase by NADH and [4S-(2)H]-NADH was studied anaerobically at 4 degrees C and pH 7.5 by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Three phases of enzyme reduction were observed. The first phase, characterized by a decrease in absorbance at 400-500 nm and an increase in absorbance at 550-700 nm, was fast (k(for) = 1260 s(-)(1), k(rev) = 590 s(-)(1)) and represents the formation of FADH(2).NAD(+), an intermediate that has never been observed before in any wild-type lipoamide dehydrogenase. A primary deuterium kinetic isotope effect [(D)(k(for) + k(rev)) approximately 4.2] was observed on this phase. The second phase, characterized by regain of the absorbance at 400-500 nm, loss of the 550-700 nm absorbance, and gain of 500-550 nm absorbance, was slower (k(obs) = 200 s(-)(1)). This phase represents the intramolecular transfer of electrons from FADH(2) to the redox-active disulfide to generate the anaerobically stable two-electron reduced enzyme, EH(2). The third phase, characterized by a decrease in absorbance at 400-550 nm, represents the formation of the four-electron reduced form of the enzyme, EH(4). The observed rate constant for this phase showed a decreasing NADH concentration dependence, and results from the slow (k(for) = 57 s(-)(1), k(rev) = 128 s(-)(1)) isomerization of EH(2) or slow release of NAD(+) before rapid NADH binding and reaction to form EH(4). The mechanism of oxidation of EH(2) by NAD(+) was also investigated under the same conditions. The 530 nm charge-transfer absorbance of EH(2) shifted to 600 nm upon NAD(+) binding in the dead time of mixing of the stopped-flow instrument and represents formation of the EH(2).NAD(+) complex. This was followed by two phases. The first phase (k(obs) = 750 s(-)(1)), characterized by a small decrease in absorbance at 435 and 458 nm, probably represents limited accumulation of FADH(2).NAD(+). The second phase was characterized by an increase in absorbance at 435 and 458 nm and a decrease in absorbance at 530 and 670 nm. The observed rate constant that describes this phase of approximately 115 s(-)(1) probably represents the overall rate of formation of E(ox) and NADH from EH(2) and NAD(+), and is largely determined by the slower rates of the coupled sequence of reactions preceding flavin oxidation.

Spectrum of Hemoglobinopathies: A New Revelation in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Odisha. The prevalence of different types of hemoglobinopathies and its spectrum in Odisha state is believed to be high, but its exact prevalence is not known due to lack of large population based study. The present study was undertaken to know the magnitude and spectrum of hemoglobinopathies among the patients attending tertiary care centre for evaluation of anemia. All the patients of various age group without any history of blood transfusion preceding 3 months of period attending the Clinical Hematology Department of SCB Medical College, Cuttack for evaluation of anemia were included in this 10 year prospective study. Detail history, clinical examination followed by blood sample examination including by HPLC/CzE were done in all cases. Other investigations were done as per need of evaluation of anemia. Out of 21,371 patients with anemia, hemoglobinopathies was detected in 10,745 (50.2%) cases. The profile of hemoglobinopathy was as follows: HbS gene in 52.48% cases, betathalassemia in 54.06% and HbE hemoglobinopathies in 9.19% cases. Hemoglobinopathy was detected in very high percentage (50.2%) of cases in our centre. Various types of beta-thalassemia and sickle cell hemoglobinopathies were two major types (54.06% and 52.48% respectively). This needs to be confirmed by large population based study.

METHODS: Papers pertaining to postmortem investigation were collected from scientific databases and reviewed. The papers were published between January 2006 and October 2020. RESULTS: Most of the analyses involved postmortem blood and urine samples, with a few reports using other bodily specimens and tissues. The method validation was not conducted for all applications. These reports were mostly intended to present data rather than interpret them, and the lack of effort in relating these ethanol biomarkers with the cause of death and/or determination of the time of deaths due to ethanol intoxication might decrease the applicability of these makers after a promising start between 2006 and 2010. Nevertheless, by the beginning of 2020, papers investigating ethanol biomarkers were still increasing. A considerable number of methods used liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) techniques that require less sample preparation (e.g., protein precipitation extraction, dilution, filtration, and centrifugation). Although solid-phase extraction can be applied, only three applications were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Matrix effects can be a substantial challenge in analytical methods based on LC-MS because they directly affect the ionization of analytes. However, these problems can be avoided due to the high cutoff values used to identify positive results for these ethanol biomarkers, which are often above 0.1-1 mg/L, and using internal standards.

Traditional healers as caregivers to HIV/AIDS clients and other terminally challenged persons in Kanye community home-based care programme (CHBC), Botswana. The research study done at the Kanye village of Botswana was qualitative in design and exploratory in nature. While the broad goal aimed at assessing the contributions of caregivers in the Kanye CHBC programme, this article aims at evaluating the traditional Healers' contribution as providers of care to HIV/AIDS patients and other chronically ill persons. The study conveniently involved all the 140 registered caregivers in the Kanye programme, but with only 82 caregivers turning up for focus group discussions. The caregivers were grouped in 10 focus group discussions, and all of the 5 CHBC nurses were subjected to one-on-one interviews. Both the focus group discussions and one-on-one interviews with the nurses used two slightly different interview schedules as data collection instruments. The study findings revealed that traditional healers are important players in caregiving of persons with various ailments but their role, position and contribution in the battle against HIV/AIDS is fast waning with time. The government has been challenged to map out strategies of collaboration between the two systems as traditional healers can complement the services of biomedical practitioners in this era of HIV/AIDS.

However, experimental data show that there is significant intratumoral heterogeneity of radiosensitivity. Therefore, a model with heterogeneity was developed and tested using existing experimental data to show the potential effects from the presence of an intratumoral distribution of radiosensitivity on radiation therapy response over a protracted radiation therapy treatment course. METHODS: The standard radiation response curve was modified to account for a distribution of radiosensitivity, and for variations in the repopulation rates of the tumor cell subpopulations. Experimental data from the literature were incorporated to determine the boundaries of the model. The proposed model was then used to show the changes in radiosensitivity of the tumor during treatment, and the effects of fraction size, alpha/beta ratio and variation of the repopulation rates of tumor cells. RESULTS: In the presence of an intratumoral distribution of radiosensitivity, there is rapid selection of radiation-resistant cells over a course of fractionated radiation therapy. Standard treatment fractionation regimes result in the near-complete replacement of the initial population of sensitive cells with a population of more resistant cells. Further, as treatment progresses, the tumor becomes more resistant to further radiation treatment, making each fractional dose less efficacious. A wider initial distribution induces increased radiation resistance. Hypofractionation is more efficient in a heterogeneous tumor, with increased cell kill for biologically equivalent doses, while inducing less resistance. The model also shows that a higher growth rate in resistant cells can account for the accelerated repopulation that is seen during the clinical treatment of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Modeling of tumor cell survival with radiosensitivity heterogeneity alters the predicted tumor response, and explains the induction of radiation resistance by radiation treatment, the development of accelerated repopulation, and the potential beneficial effects of hypofractionation. Tumor response to treatment may be better predicted by assaying for the distribution of radiosensitivity, or the extreme of the radiosensitivity, rather than measuring the initial, general radiation sensitivity of the untreated tumor." ], "offsets": [ [ 139, 2556 ] ] } ]

BACKGROUND: Standard radiobiology theory of radiation response assumes a uniform innate radiosensitivity of tumors. However, experimental data show that there is significant intratumoral heterogeneity of radiosensitivity. Therefore, a model with heterogeneity was developed and tested using existing experimental data to show the potential effects from the presence of an intratumoral distribution of radiosensitivity on radiation therapy response over a protracted radiation therapy treatment course. METHODS: The standard radiation response curve was modified to account for a distribution of radiosensitivity, and for variations in the repopulation rates of the tumor cell subpopulations. Experimental data from the literature were incorporated to determine the boundaries of the model. The proposed model was then used to show the changes in radiosensitivity of the tumor during treatment, and the effects of fraction size, alpha/beta ratio and variation of the repopulation rates of tumor cells. RESULTS: In the presence of an intratumoral distribution of radiosensitivity, there is rapid selection of radiation-resistant cells over a course of fractionated radiation therapy. Standard treatment fractionation regimes result in the near-complete replacement of the initial population of sensitive cells with a population of more resistant cells. Further, as treatment progresses, the tumor becomes more resistant to further radiation treatment, making each fractional dose less efficacious. A wider initial distribution induces increased radiation resistance. Hypofractionation is more efficient in a heterogeneous tumor, with increased cell kill for biologically equivalent doses, while inducing less resistance. The model also shows that a higher growth rate in resistant cells can account for the accelerated repopulation that is seen during the clinical treatment of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Modeling of tumor cell survival with radiosensitivity heterogeneity alters the predicted tumor response, and explains the induction of radiation resistance by radiation treatment, the development of accelerated repopulation, and the potential beneficial effects of hypofractionation. Tumor response to treatment may be better predicted by assaying for the distribution of radiosensitivity, or the extreme of the radiosensitivity, rather than measuring the initial, general radiation sensitivity of the untreated tumor.

RNA interference of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase and trehalase genes regulates chitin metabolism in two color morphs of Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalase (TRE) directly regulate trehalose metabolism and indirectly regulate chitin metabolism in insects. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and RNA interference (RNAi) were used to detect the expressions and functions of the ApTPS and ApTRE genes. Abnormal phenotypes were found after RNAi of ApTRE in the Acyrthosiphon pisum. The molting deformities were observed in two color morphs, while wing deformities were only observed in the red morphs. The RNAi of ApTPS significantly down-regulated the expression of chitin metabolism-related genes, UDP-N-acetyglucosamine pyrophosphorylase (ApUAP), chitin synthase 2 (Apchs-2), Chitinase 2, 5 (ApCht2, 5), endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ApENGase) and chitin deacetylase (ApCDA) genes at 24 h and 48 h; The RNAi of ApTRE significantly down-regulated the expression of ApUAP, ApCht1, 2, 8 and ApCDA at 24 h and 48 h, and up-regulated the expression of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (ApGPI) and Knickkopf protein (ApKNK) genes at 48 h. The RNAi of ApTRE and ApTPS not only altered the expression of chitin metabolism-related genes but also decreased the content of chitin. These results demonstrated that ApTPS and ApTRE can regulate the chitin metabolism, deepen our understanding of the biological functions, and provide a foundation for better understanding the molecular mechanism of insect metamorphosis.

The SphK1-S1P axis has a crucial role in lymphangiogenesis. However, the significance of phospho-SphK1 (pSphK1) in the progression of ESCC has not been fully investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated pSphK1 expression in 92 surgically resected tumor tissues of ESCC by the immunohistochemistry. Fifty-nine (64%) patients with moderate or strong expression and 33 (36%) with negative or weak expression were classified in the pSphK1-high and pSphK1-low groups, respectively. RESULTS: Higher pathological N category (pN) was more frequently observed in the pSphK1-high group (P < 0.01). The median number of lymph node metastasis (pSphK1-high: 2 versus pSphK1-low: 0; P < 0.01), the proportion of patients with lymphatic invasion (69% versus 18%; P < 0.01) and that with intramural metastasis (27% versus 3%; P < 0.01) were significantly higher in the pSphK1-high group. The presence of lymphatic invasion (odds ratio [OR] 5.63; P < 0.01) and pN1-3 (OR 3.26; P = 0.04) were independently associated with high pSphK1 expression. The 5-y overall survival rate of the pSphK1-high group was significantly lower than that of the pSphK1-low group (50.8% versus 67.3%; P = 0.01).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated pSphK1 expression in 92 surgically resected tumor tissues of ESCC by the immunohistochemistry. Fifty-nine (64%) patients with moderate or strong expression and 33 (36%) with negative or weak expression were classified in the pSphK1-high and pSphK1-low groups, respectively. RESULTS: Higher pathological N category (pN) was more frequently observed in the pSphK1-high group (P < 0.01). The median number of lymph node metastasis (pSphK1-high: 2 versus pSphK1-low: 0; P < 0.01), the proportion of patients with lymphatic invasion (69% versus 18%; P < 0.01) and that with intramural metastasis (27% versus 3%; P < 0.01) were significantly higher in the pSphK1-high group. The presence of lymphatic invasion (odds ratio [OR] 5.63; P < 0.01) and pN1-3 (OR 3.26; P = 0.04) were independently associated with high pSphK1 expression. The 5-y overall survival rate of the pSphK1-high group was significantly lower than that of the pSphK1-low group (50.8% versus 67.3%; P = 0.01). High pSphK1 expression was not identified as a significant independent prognostic factor. CONCLUSIONS: We provide the first evidence of the association between high expression of pSphK1 and both lymphatic spread and patient outcomes in ESCC.

A hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar state in a young child: diagnostic insights from a quantitative analysis. This teaching exercise demonstrates how the application of principles of physiology can identify the cause of a severe degree of hyperglycaemia (plasma glucose concentration 80 mmol/l) in a very young patient with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus, determine whether the patient has diabetic ketoacidosis, and highlight the potential risks for this patient on admission and during initial therapy.

Upon micellar incorporation, the dansylsarcosine-albumin complex dissociated, as evidenced by fluorescence emission spectroscopy (red shift from 485 nm to 570 nm) and by fluorescence polarization measurements. In contrast, the hemin-albumin complex remained stable in reverse micelles, as judged from the Soret absorption band at 408 nm and the molar absorption coefficient of 8.4 x 10(4) M-1 cm-1. The oxyphenylbutazone to albumin binding curves reveal that while the association constant remained unchanged (Ka approximately 1.0 x 10(5) M-1), only a fraction of the albumin molecules present reacted with the ligand. The results were unaffected by the nature and the concentration of the surfactant. These findings can be interpreted in the light of conformational changes induced in human serum albumin by the large micellar inner surface area. The blue shift of the fluorescence emission maximum from 344 nm in buffer to 327 nm in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate micelles and the lesser reactivity/accessibility of the fluorophore to oxidation by N-bromosuccinimide, indicate perturbations of the sole tryptophan-214 microenvironment. However, the distance between the indole residue and tyrosine-411 does not seem substantially modified by the 15% decrease affecting the alpha helices of the albumin molecule.

Ligand binding at membrane mimetic interfaces. Human serum albumin in reverse micelles. The behaviour of human serum albumin in the presence of three chemically distinct ligands: oxyphenylbutazone, dansylsarcosine and hemin, has been compared in buffer and in reverse micelles of isooctane, water, and either sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate or hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide, systems selected to mimic the membrane-water interface. Upon micellar incorporation, the dansylsarcosine-albumin complex dissociated, as evidenced by fluorescence emission spectroscopy (red shift from 485 nm to 570 nm) and by fluorescence polarization measurements. In contrast, the hemin-albumin complex remained stable in reverse micelles, as judged from the Soret absorption band at 408 nm and the molar absorption coefficient of 8.4 x 10(4) M-1 cm-1. The oxyphenylbutazone to albumin binding curves reveal that while the association constant remained unchanged (Ka approximately 1.0 x 10(5) M-1), only a fraction of the albumin molecules present reacted with the ligand. The results were unaffected by the nature and the concentration of the surfactant. These findings can be interpreted in the light of conformational changes induced in human serum albumin by the large micellar inner surface area. The blue shift of the fluorescence emission maximum from 344 nm in buffer to 327 nm in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate micelles and the lesser reactivity/accessibility of the fluorophore to oxidation by N-bromosuccinimide, indicate perturbations of the sole tryptophan-214 microenvironment. However, the distance between the indole residue and tyrosine-411 does not seem substantially modified by the 15% decrease affecting the alpha helices of the albumin molecule. It is proposed that the results reported herein reflect the interactions of albumin with a membrane-like interface which generates two protein subpopulations differing in their membrane-surface and ligand affinities. Overall and local conformational changes, originating from this surface-induced effect, may thus constitute a ligand-release facilitating mechanism acting at cellular membrane levels.

Selective antagonism of AMPA receptors unmasks kainate receptor-mediated responses in hippocampal neurons.

Recently, however, we have shown that many hippocampal neurons in culture express glutamate receptors of the kainate type. The large nondesensitizing response that kainate induces at AMPA receptors precludes detection and analysis of smaller, rapidly desensitizing currents induced by kainate at kainate receptors.

However, the nature of the cell populations producing this important pro-inflammatory cytokine remains poorly defined. Accordingly, we characterized major IL-17A-producing blood cell populations in AxSpA, with reference to entheseal biology, with a focus on mucosal associated invariant T-cells, (MAITs) a population known to be capable of producing IL-17. METHODS: IL-17A production from 5 sorted peripheral blood cell populations, namely MAITs, gammadelta T-cells, CD4+T-cells, CD8+T-cells and neutrophils was evaluated pre- and post-stimulation with PMA, the calcium ionophore A23187 and beta1,3 glucan. IL-17A transcript and protein expression were determined using nCounter Technology and ultra-sensitive SimoA technology, respectively. MAITs from control human axial entheses (n=5) were further characterized by flow cytometric immunophenotyping, qPCR and IL-17 production assessed following stimulation. RESULTS: In blood, on a per cell basis, MAIT cells produced the highest amount of IL-17A compared to CD4+ (p <0.01), CD8+ (p <0.0001) and gammadelta T-cells (p <0.0001). IL-17A was not produced by neutrophils. Gene expression analysis also showed significantly higher IL17A and IL23R expression in MAIT cells. Stimulation of blood MAIT cells with alphaCD3/CD28 and IL-7 and/or IL-18 induced strong expression of IL17F. MAITs were present in the normal enthesis and showed elevated AHR, JAK1, STAT4 and TGFB1 transcript expression with inducible IL-17A protein. IL-18 protein expression was evident in spinal enthesis digests. CONCLUSION: Both blood MAITs and resident MAITs in axial entheses contribute to IL-17 production and may play important roles in AxSpA pathogenesis." ], "offsets": [ [ 148, 1982 ] ] } ]

Characterization of Blood Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells in Axial Spondyloarthritis and of resident MAITs from control axial enthesis. OBJECTIVES: The importance of IL-17A in the pathogenesis of Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) has been demonstrated by the success of IL-17A blockade. However, the nature of the cell populations producing this important pro-inflammatory cytokine remains poorly defined. Accordingly, we characterized major IL-17A-producing blood cell populations in AxSpA, with reference to entheseal biology, with a focus on mucosal associated invariant T-cells, (MAITs) a population known to be capable of producing IL-17. METHODS: IL-17A production from 5 sorted peripheral blood cell populations, namely MAITs, gammadelta T-cells, CD4+T-cells, CD8+T-cells and neutrophils was evaluated pre- and post-stimulation with PMA, the calcium ionophore A23187 and beta1,3 glucan. IL-17A transcript and protein expression were determined using nCounter Technology and ultra-sensitive SimoA technology, respectively. MAITs from control human axial entheses (n=5) were further characterized by flow cytometric immunophenotyping, qPCR and IL-17 production assessed following stimulation. RESULTS: In blood, on a per cell basis, MAIT cells produced the highest amount of IL-17A compared to CD4+ (p <0.01), CD8+ (p <0.0001) and gammadelta T-cells (p <0.0001). IL-17A was not produced by neutrophils. Gene expression analysis also showed significantly higher IL17A and IL23R expression in MAIT cells. Stimulation of blood MAIT cells with alphaCD3/CD28 and IL-7 and/or IL-18 induced strong expression of IL17F. MAITs were present in the normal enthesis and showed elevated AHR, JAK1, STAT4 and TGFB1 transcript expression with inducible IL-17A protein. IL-18 protein expression was evident in spinal enthesis digests. CONCLUSION: Both blood MAITs and resident MAITs in axial entheses contribute to IL-17 production and may play important roles in AxSpA pathogenesis.

Differentiation between glioblastoma and solitary brain metastasis using neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) is a new technique that applies a three-diffusion-compartment biophysical model.

Evaluation of an electronic corneal pachometer. Sixteen patients who had never worn contact lenses underwent measurement of their central corneal thicknesses with the standard corneal pachometer and a new electronic corneal pachometer. Both instruments were able to produce repeatable and accurate results, although the overall measurements obtained were thicker with the electronic pachometer. The advantage of the electronic pachometer over the standard pachometer is that one is able to easily measure areas other than the central cornea with repeatable accuracy. With the addition of a microcomputer and print-out system, large populations can be studied, and changes in corneal thickness can be recorded on a day-to-day or hour-to-hour basis.
