Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) and nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma are the 2 main types of HL. CHL accounts for most HL diagnosed in the Western countries. Chemotherapy or combined modality therapy, followed by restaging with PET/CT to assess treatment response using the Deauville criteria (5-point scale), is the standard initial treatment for patients with newly diagnosed CHL. Brentuximab vedotin, a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate, has produced encouraging results in the treatment of relapsed or refractory disease. The potential long-term effects of treatment remain an important consideration, and long-term follow-up is essential after completion of treatment.

This is possible if the dose distributions are designed such that similar doses are delivered to normal tissues (exploit the fractionation effect) while hypofractionating subregions of the tumor. In this paper, the authors develop methodology for treatment planning with nonuniform fractions and demonstrate this concept in the context of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT). Methods: Treatment planning is performed by simultaneously optimizing (possibly distinct) IMPT dose distributions for multiple fractions. This is achieved using objective and constraint functions evaluated for the cumulative biologically equivalent dose (BED) delivered at the end of treatment. BED based treatment planning formulations lead to nonconvex optimization problems, such that local gradient based algorithms require adequate starting positions to find good local optima. To that end, the authors develop a combinatorial algorithm to initialize the pencil beam intensities. Results: The concept of nonuniform spatiotemporal fractionation schemes is demonstrated for a spinal metastasis patient treated in two fractions using stereotactic body radiation therapy. The patient is treated with posterior oblique beams with the kidneys being located in the entrance region of the beam. It is shown that a nonuniform fractionation scheme that hypofractionates the central part of the tumor allows for a skin and kidney BED reduction of approximately 10%-20%. Conclusions: Nonuniform spatiotemporal fractionation schemes represent a novel approach to exploit fractionation effects that deserves further exploration for selected disease sites.

This study assesses the ability of rescanning and gating to mitigate interplay effects during lung treatments. Methods: The treatments of five lung cancer patients [48 Gy(RBE)/4fx] with varying tumor size (21.1-82.3 cm(3)) and motion amplitude (2.9-30.6 mm) were simulated employing 4D Monte Carlo. The authors investigated two spot sizes (sigma similar to 12 and similar to 3 mm), three rescanning techniques (layered, volumetric, breath-sampled volumetric) and respiratory gating with a 30% duty cycle. Results: For 4/5 patients, layered rescanning 6/2 times (for the small/large spot size) maintains equivalent uniform dose within the target >98% for a single fraction. Breath sampling the timing of rescanning is similar to 2 times more effective than the same number of continuous rescans. Volumetric rescanning is sensitive to synchronization effects, which was observed in 3/5 patients, though not for layered rescanning. For the large spot size, rescanning compared favorably with gating in terms of time requirements, i.e., 2x-rescanning is on average a factor similar to 2.6 faster than gating for this scenario. For the small spot size however, 6x-rescanning takes on average 65% longer compared to gating. Rescanning has no effect on normal lung V-20 and mean lung dose (MLD), though it reduces the maximum lung dose by on average 6.9 +/- 2.4/16.7 +/- 12.2 Gy(RBE) for the large and small spot sizes, respectively. Gating leads to a similar reduction in maximum dose and additionally reduces V-20 and MLD. Breath-sampled rescanning is most successful in reducing the maximum dose to the normal lung. Conclusions: Both rescanning (2-6 times, depending on the beam size) as well as gating was able to mitigate interplay effects in the target for 4/5 patients studied. Layered rescanning is superior to volumetric rescanning, as the latter suffers from synchronization effects in 3/5 patients studied. Gating minimizes the irradiated volume of normal lung more efficiently, while breath-sampled rescanning is superior in reducing maximum doses to organs at risk.

However, a 3D CT volume with a full 3D organ segmentation map could provide superior information for customized scan planning and other purposes. A practical challenge is to design the volumetric scout acquisition and processing steps to provide good image quality (at least good enough to enable 3D organ segmentation) while delivering a radiation dose similar to that of the conventional 2D scout. Methods: The authors explored various acquisition methods, scan parameters, postprocessing methods, and reconstruction methods through simulation and cadaver data studies to achieve an ultralow dose 3D scout while simultaneously reducing the noise and maintaining the edge strength around the target organ. Results: In a simulation study, the 3D scout with the proposed acquisition, preprocessing, and reconstruction strategy provided a similar level of organ segmentation capability as a traditional 240 mAs diagnostic scan, based on noise and normalized edge strength metrics. At the same time, the proposed approach delivers only 1.25% of the dose of a traditional scan. In a cadaver study, the authors' pictorial-structures based organ localization algorithm successfully located the major abdominal-thoracic organs from the ultralow dose 3D scout obtained with the proposed strategy. Conclusions: The authors demonstrated that images with a similar degree of segmentation capability (interpretability) as conventional dose CT scans can be achieved with an ultralow dose 3D scout acquisition and suitable postprocessing. Furthermore, the authors applied these techniques to real cadaver CT scans with a CTDI dose level of less than 0.1 mGy and successfully generated a 3D organ localization map.

The latter category could greatly benefit from fast and accurate methods for dose estimation, which would enable real-time patient-specific protocol optimization. Methods: The authors present a new method for volumetrically reconstructing absorbed dose on a per-voxel basis, directly from the actual CT images. The authors' specific implementation combines a distance-driven pencil-beam approach to model the first-order x-ray interactions with a set of Gaussian convolution kernels to model the higher-order x-ray interactions. The authors performed a number of 3D simulation experiments comparing the proposed method to a Monte Carlo based ground truth. Results: The authors' results indicate that the proposed approach offers a good trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency. The images show a good qualitative correspondence to Monte Carlo estimates. Preliminary quantitative results show errors below 10%, except in bone regions, where the authors see a bigger model mismatch. The computational complexity is similar to that of a low-resolution filtered-backprojection algorithm. Conclusions: The authors present a method for analytic dose reconstruction in CT, similar to the techniques used in radiation therapy planning with megavoltage energies. Future work will include refinements of the proposed method to improve the accuracy as well as a more extensive validation study. The proposed method is not intended to replace methods that track individual x-ray photons, but the authors expect that it may prove useful in applications where real-time patient-specific dose estimation is required.

This study investigated the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of ADS-5102 in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesia. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of 83 PD patients with troublesome dyskinesia assigned to placebo or one of three doses of ADS-5102 (260 mg, 340 mg, 420 mg) administered daily at bedtime for 8 weeks. The primary efficacy analysis compared change from baseline to week 8 in Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) total score for 340 mg ADS-5102 versus placebo. Secondary outcome measures included change in UDysRS for 260 mg, 420 mg, Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), patient diary, Clinician's Global Impression of Change, and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). ADS-5102 340 mg significantly reduced dyskinesia versus placebo (27% reduction in UDysRS, P=0.005). In addition, ADS-5102 significantly increased ON time without troublesome dyskinesia, as assessed by PD patient diaries, at 260 mg (P=0.004), 340 mg (P=0.008) and 420 mg (P=0.018). Adverse events (AEs) were reported for 82%, 80%, 95%, and 90% of patients in the placebo, 260-mg, 340-mg, and 420-mg groups, respectively. Constipation, hallucinations, dizziness, and dry mouth were the most frequent AEs. Study withdrawal rates were 9%, 15%, 14%, and 40% for the placebo, 260-mg, 340-mg, and 420-mg groups, respectively. All study withdrawals in the active treatment groups were attributable to AEs. ADS-5102 was generally well tolerated and resulted in significant and dose-dependent improvements in dyskinesia in PD patients. (c) 2015 Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

TI Lower plasma apolipoprotein A1 levels are found in Parkinson's disease and associate with apolipoprotein A1 genotype SO MOVEMENT DISORDERS LA English DT Article DE Apolipoprotein A1; Parkinson's disease; biomarker; genotype; ApoA1 ID CEREBRAL AMYLOID ANGIOPATHY; PROMOTER REGION; I GENE; CEREBROSPINAL-FLUID; HDL-CHOLESTEROL; ALPHA-SYNUCLEIN; LIPID LEVELS; POLYMORPHISM; BIOMARKERS; POPULATION AB The discovery of novel plasma-based biomarkers could lead to new approaches in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we explore the role of plasma apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) as a risk marker for PD and evaluate the influence of APOA1 promoter variation on plasma ApoA1 levels. Plasma ApoA1 and the single-nucleotide polymorphism, rs670, were assayed in a discovery cohort (cohort 1) of 301 PD patients, 80 normal controls (NCs), and 165 subjects with other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as a cohort (cohort 2) of 158 PD patients from a second clinical site. Additionally, rs670 was genotyped in a third cohort of 1,494 PD and 925 NC subjects from both clinical sites. Compared to both normal and disease controls, PD patients have lower plasma ApoA1 (P<0.001 for both comparisons). Moreover, in PD patients, plasma ApoA1 levels are correlated with genotype at the APOA1 promoter polymorphism, rs670. Specifically, lower plasma ApoA1 levels were found in rs670 major allele (G) homozygotes in both cohort 1 (P=0.009) and in a replication cohort (cohort 2; n=158 PD patients; P=0.024). Finally, evaluating rs670 genotype frequencies in 1,930 PD cases versus 997 NCs, the rs670 GG genotype shows a trend toward association (odds ratio: 1.1; P=0.10) with PD. Our results are compatible with a model whereby circulating ApoA1 levels may be useful in risk-stratifying subjects for the development of PD, with higher ApoA1 levels suggesting relative protection. Future studies evaluating modulation of ApoA1 as a novel therapeutic strategy in PD are warranted.

METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. Women who experienced at least one forceps delivery (across all deliveries) were compared with women who had at least one vacuum birth. On average, participants were 10 years from the index delivery. Three-dimensional transperineal ultrasound volumes were captured as cine loops at rest with Valsalva and with pelvic floor muscle contraction. The primary outcome was levator ani muscle avulsion. Secondary outcomes included hiatal diameter and area. Prevalence of pelvic floor disorders was also compared between the two delivery groups. RESULTS: Among 45 participants in the forceps group and 28 participants in the vacuum group, there were no differences between groups in maternal age at first delivery, parity, body mass index, birth weight, episiotomy, or duration of second stage. History of anal sphincter laceration was more common in the forceps group. The prevalence of levator ani muscle avulsion was significantly higher after forceps compared with vacuum delivery (22/45 [49%] compared with 5/28 [18%], P=.012, prevalence ratio 2.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17-6.40, odds ratio 4.40 [95% CI 1.42-13.62]). Controlling for delivery type, levator ani muscle avulsion was associated with symptoms of prolapse (P=.036), although objective evidence of prolapse was not significantly different between groups (P=.20). CONCLUSION: Ten years after delivery, the prevalence of levator avulsion is almost tripled after forceps compared with vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery.

TI Short-Term Variability in Outpatient Pain Intensity Scores in a National Sample of Older Veterans with Chronic Pain SO PAIN MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE Chronic Pain; Veterans; Numeric Rating Scale; Aged ID CHRONIC NONCANCER PAIN; PRESCRIPTION OPIOID USE; NUMERIC RATING-SCALE; HEALTH-CARE-SYSTEM; PERSISTENT PAIN; RACIAL-DIFFERENCES; MENTAL-HEALTH; BACK-PAIN; DEPRESSION; PATTERNS AB ObjectiveThe Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) uses the 11-point pain numeric rating scale (NRS) to gather pain intensity information from veterans at outpatient appointments. Yet, little is known about how NRS scores may vary over time within individuals; NRS variability may have important ramifications for treatment planning. Our main objective was to describe variability in NRS scores within a 1-month timeframe, as obtained during routine outpatient care in older patients with chronic pain treated in VA hospitals. A secondary objective was to explore for patient characteristics associated with within-month NRS score variability. DesignRetrospective cohort study. SubjectsNational sample of veterans 65 years or older seen in VA in 2010 who had multiple elevated NRS scores indicating chronic pain. MethodsVA datasets were used to identify the sample and demographic and clinical variables including NRS scores. For the main analysis, we identified subjects with two or more NRS scores obtained in each of two or more months in a 12-month period; we examined ranges in NRS scores across the first two qualifying months. ResultsAmong 4,336 individuals in the main analysis cohort, the mean and median of the average NRS score range across the 2 months were 2.7 and 2.5, respectively. In multivariable models, main significant predictors of within-month NRS score variability were baseline pain intensity, overall medical comorbidity, and being divorced/separated. ConclusionsThe majority of patients in the sample had clinically meaningful variation in pain scores within a given month. This finding highlights the need for clinicians and their patients to consider multiple NRS scores when making chronic pain treatment decisions.

The series presents CLBP as a syndrome, a final common pathway for the expression of multiple contributors rather than a disease localized exclusively to the lumbosacral spine. Each article addresses one of twelve important contributors to pain and disability in older adults with CLBP. This article focuses on hip osteoarthritis (OA). MethodsThe evaluation and treatment algorithm, a table articulating the rationale for the individual algorithm components, and stepped-care drug recommendations were developed using a modified Delphi approach. The Principal Investigator, a five-member content expert panel and a nine-member primary care panel were involved in the iterative development of these materials. The algorithm was developed keeping in mind medications and other resources available within Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities. As panelists were not exclusive to the VHA, the materials can be applied in both VHA and civilian settings. The illustrative clinical case was taken from one of the contributor's clinical practice. ResultsWe present an algorithm and supportive materials to help guide the care of older adults with hip OA, an important contributor to CLBP. The case illustrates an example of complex hip-spine syndrome, in which hip OA was an important contributor to disability in an older adult with CLBP. ConclusionsHip OA is common and should be evaluated routinely in the older adult with CLBP so that appropriately targeted treatment can be designed.

SettingThere is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that chronic use of opioid drugs may alter pain sensitivity. Identifying the characteristic changes in thermal pain sensitivity in chronic opioid users will be helpful in diagnosing pain sensitivity alterations associated with chronic opioid use. MethodsUtilizing an office-based QST technique, we examined thermal pain threshold, tolerance, and temporal summation in 172 chronic pain subjects receiving opioid therapy, 121 chronic pain subjects receiving non-opioid therapy, and 129 healthy subjects. ResultsIn chronic pain subjects receiving opioid therapy, there were detectable differences in QST characteristics compared with both chronic pain subjects receiving non-opioid therapy and healthy subjects. Specifically, in chronic pain subjects receiving opioid therapy, 1) sensitivity to heat pain was increased; threshold to heat pain was significantly lower; 2) tolerance to supra-threshold heat pain was significantly decreased; and 3) temporal pain summation was exacerbated, as compared with chronic pain subjects receiving non-opioid therapy. In a subgroup of chronic pain subjects receiving opioid therapy with increased heat pain sensitivity, their average opioid medication dosage was significantly higher than those who had an above-average heat pain threshold. Moreover, a subset of chronic pain subjects on opioid therapy exhibited a significant decrease in diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC) compared with chronic pain subjects on non-opioid therapy. ConclusionThese findings suggest that a subset of QST parameters can reflect opioid-associated thermal pain sensitivity alteration, including decreased heat pain threshold, decreased cold and heat pain tolerance, diminished DNIC, and/or exacerbated temporal summation.

TI A Peruvian family with a novel PARK2 mutation: Clinical and pathological characteristics SO PARKINSONISM & RELATED DISORDERS LA English DT Article DE Familial parkinsonism; Parkin; Mutations; Pathology ID RECESSIVE JUVENILE PARKINSONISM; EARLY-ONSET PARKINSONISM; LEWY BODIES; DISEASE; GENE; IDENTIFICATION; DELETION; PATIENT AB Background: Mutations in PARK2 result in autosomal recessive young onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD). Although there have been a number of reports on the clinical characteristics of PARK2-related PD, there is limited information available on the associated neuropathologic changes. Design: We describe the clinical and pathological characteristics of a Peruvian family with YOPD. The proband and one unaffected sibling were screened for PARK2 dosage and point mutations. One affected sibling had detailed neuropathologic examination. Setting: Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurologicas (INCN) in Lima, Peru. Results: The proband and two of her four siblings developed YOPD and both parents were unaffected. The clinical course has been characterized by akinetic-rigid parkinsonism predominantly affecting the lower limbs and dyskinesias. Analysis of PARK2 showed that the proband is compound heterozygous for a novel acceptor splice site mutation in intron 5 (IVS5-1G>A) and an exon 7 deletion. Neuropathologic assessment of an affected sibling revealed severe neuronal loss in the substantia nigra (SN) and loss of tyrosine hydroxylase immunopositive fibers in the striatum. No Lewy body pathology was observed using standard histology or immunohistochemistry for alpha-synuclein. Conclusions: Consistent with most neuropathologic reports of patients with PARK2 mutations, we did not observe Lewy body inclusions, despite marked SN degeneration and severe dopaminergic denervation of the striatum. These data describe a novel splice site mutation and further extend the clinicopathological characterization of PARK2-associated PD. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can restore neuronal glutathione levels, but it has not been established whether NAC can cross the blood brain barrier in humans. Methods: Twelve patients with PD were given oral NAC twice daily for 2 days. Three doses were compared: 7 mg/kg, 35 mg/kg, and 70 mg/kg. NAC, cysteine, and glutathione were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at baseline and 90 min after the last dose. Cognitive and motor functions were assessed pre- and post-NAC administration using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III motor subscore (UPDRS-III). Results: Oral NAC produced a dose-dependent increase in CSF NAC concentrations (p < 0.001), with the highest dose producing a CSF concentration of 9.26 +/- 1.62 mu M. There were no significant adverse events. NAC had no acute effect on motor or cognitive function. Conclusion: Orally administered NAC produces biologically relevant CSF NAC concentrations at doses that are well tolerated. The findings support the feasibility of NAC as a potential disease-modifying therapy for PD. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Given the importance of behavior in cancer control, fundamental research is necessary to identify psychological mechanisms underlying cancer risk, prevention, and management behaviors. Cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are often emotionally laden. As such, affective science research to elucidate questions related to the basic phenomenological nature of emotion, stress, and mood is necessary to understand how cancer control can be hindered or facilitated by emotional experiences. To date, the intersection of basic affective science research and cancer control remains largely unexplored. The goal of this article is to outline key questions in the cancer control research domain that provide an ecologically valid context for new affective science discoveries. We also provide examples of ways in which basic affective discoveries could inform future cancer prevention and control research. These examples are not meant to be exhaustive or prescriptive but instead are offered to generate creative thought about the promise of a cancer research context for answering basic affective science questions. Together, these examples provide a compelling argument for fostering collaborations between affective and cancer control scientists.

TI Copy Number Variation at the APOL1 Locus SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID APOLIPOPROTEIN-L GENE; SEGMENTAL DUPLICATIONS; HUMAN GENOME; KIDNEY-DISEASE; EVOLUTION; VARIANTS; AFRICAN; REARRANGEMENTS; ARCHITECTURE; INITIATION AB Two coding variants in the APOL1 gene (G1 and G2) explain most of the high rate of kidney disease in African Americans. APOL1-associated kidney disease risk inheritance follows an autosomal recessive pattern: The relative risk of kidney disease associated with inheritance of two high-risk variants is 7-30 fold, depending on the specific kidney phenotype. We wished to determine if the variability in phenotype might in part reflect structural differences in APOL1 gene. We analyzed sequence coverage from 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3 samples as well as exome sequencing data from African American kidney disease cases for copy number variation. 8 samples sequenced in the 1000 Genomes Project showed increased coverage over a similar to 100kb region that includes APOL2, APOL1 and part of MYH9, suggesting the presence of APOL1 copy number greater than 2. We reasoned that such duplications should be enriched in apparent G1 heterozygotes with kidney disease. Using a PCR-based assay, we observed the presence of this duplication in additional samples from apparent G0G1 or G0G2 individuals. The frequency of this APOL1 duplication was compared among cases (n = 123) and controls (n = 255) with apparent G0G1 heterozygosity. The presence of APOL1 duplication was observed in 4.06% of cases and 0.78% controls, preliminary evidence that this APOL1 duplication may alter susceptibility to kidney disease (p = 0.03). Taqman-based copy number assays confirmed the presence of 3 APOL1 copies in individuals positive for this specific duplication by PCR assay, but also identified a small number of individuals with additional APOL1 copies of presumably different structure. These observations motivate further studies to better assess the contribution of APOL1 copy number on kidney disease risk and on APOL1 function. Investigators and clinicians genotyping APOL1 should also consider whether the particular genotyping platform used is subject to technical errors when more than two copies of APOL1 are present.

The use of gene sets in the analyses of high-throughput gene expression data has been intensively studied and applied in clinical research. However, the main interest remains in finding modules of biological knowledge, or corresponding gene sets, significantly associated with disease conditions. Risk prediction from censored survival times using gene sets hasn't been well studied. In this work, we propose a hybrid method that uses both single gene and gene set information together to predict patient survival risks from gene expression profiles. In the proposed method, gene sets provide context-level information that is poorly reflected by single genes. Complementarily, single genes help to supplement incomplete information of gene sets due to our imperfect biomedical knowledge. Through the tests over multiple data sets of cancer and trauma injury, the proposed method showed robust and improved performance compared with the conventional approaches with only single genes or gene sets solely. Additionally, we examined the prediction result in the trauma injury data, and showed that the modules of biological knowledge used in the prediction by the proposed method were highly interpretable in biology. A wide range of survival prediction problems in clinical genomics is expected to benefit from the use of biological knowledge. C1 [Seok, Junhee] Korea Univ, Sch Elect Engn, Seoul 136713, South Korea.

While prognostic factors in ACS are well-investigated less attention has been paid to their age-dependent prognostic value and their particular relevance in younger patients. The aim of our study was to assess the age-dependent prognostic impact of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Methods Retrospective cohort study including 624 patients with ACS. Patients were stratified by age into equal groups (n = 208) corresponding to "young patients" (45-64 years), "middle-aged patients" (65-84 years) and "old patients" (85-100 years). Cox regression hazard analysis was used to assess the influence of BChE on survival. Results After a mean follow-up time of 4.0 (interquartile range [IQR] 2.0-6.4) years, 154 patients (24.7%) died due to a cardiac cause. In the overall cohort, BChE was indirectly associated with cardiac mortality-free survival (adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 0.70 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.53-0.93, p = 0.01). The primary-analysis of BChE by age strata showed the strongest effect in the age group 45-64 years with an adjusted HR per 1-SD of 0.28 (95% CI 0.12-0.64, p = 0.003), a weaker association with mortality in middle aged (65-84 years: adjusted HR per 1-SD 0.66 [95% CI: 0.41-1.06], p = 0.087), and no association in older patients (85-100 years: adjusted HR per 1-SD 0.89 [95% CI: 0.58-1.38], p = 0.613). Conclusion BChE is a strong predictor for cardiac mortality specifically in younger patients with ACS aged between 45 and 64 years. No significant association of BChE with cardiac-mortality was detected in other age classes.

This study investigated the relationship between PTSD and metabolic risk factors and examined the role of sleep duration in medically healthy and medication-free adults. Methods: Participants with PTSD (n = 44, mean age = 30.6 years) and control participants free of lifetime psychiatric history (n = 50, mean age = 30.3 years) recorded sleep using sleep diary for 10 nights and actigraphy for 7 nights. We assessed metabolic risk factors including fasting triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, as well as abdominal fat using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Results: PTSD was associated with shorter sleep duration (based on self-report, not actigraphy) and higher metabolic risks (controlling for body fat percentage), including increased triglycerides (p = .03), total cholesterol (p < .001), LDL cholesterol (p = .006), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = .002), and cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein ratio (p = .024). In addition, sleep duration was associated with metabolic risks in PTSD (significant correlations ranged from r = -0.20 to r = -0.40) but did not fully account for the association between PTSD and metabolic measures. Conclusions: Metabolic risk factors are associated with PTSD even in early adulthood, which highlights the need for early intervention. Future longitudinal research should assess whether sleep disturbance in PTSD is a mechanism that contributes to heightened metabolic risk to elucidate the pathway from PTSD to higher rates of medical disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

A greater understanding of the factors that promote and maintain CD8(+) T cell-mediated immunity against these pathogens is likely needed for the development of effective vaccines. Immunization with radiation-attenuated sporozoites, the infectious stage of the malaria parasite transmitted by mosquitoes, is an excellent model to study these questions as CD8(+) T cells specific for a single epitope can completely eliminate parasite infection in the liver. Furthermore, live, radiation-attenuated parasites represent the "gold standard" for malaria vaccination. Here, we will highlight recent studies aimed at understanding the factors required for the induction, recruitment, and maintenance of effector and memory CD8(+) T cells against malaria liver stages.

Evidence shows that providing MH and SUD services in integrated care settings results in improved medical treatment outcomes and disease management for these populations. Given the importance of addressing the MH and SUD needs of veterans seeking care at Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities for HIV and HCV, the Office of Public Health is collaborating with VHA's Office of Academic Affiliations to support a clinical psychology postdoctoral training program with this emphasis. Through a discussion of fellowship competencies, structure, and implementation, this article highlights the unique contribution that a psychology postdoctoral training program with a focus on these populations provides.

Structural biology has since precisely revealed those bidentate pMHC interactions. TCR alpha beta ligates the membrane-distal antigen-binding MHC platform, whereas CD8 clamps a membrane-proximal MHCI alpha 3 domain loop and CD4 docks to a hydrophobic crevice between MHCII alpha 2 and beta 2 domains. Here, we review how MHC class-restricted binding impacts signaling and lineage commitment, discussing TCR force-driven conformational transitions that may optimally expose the co-receptor docking site on MHC.

Our group has successfully developed an evidence base for cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for ADHD in medication-treated adults with ADHD with clinically significant symptoms. In the current paper, we describe an adaptation of this treatment to adolescents, and provide case reports on 3 adolescents who participated in an open pilot trial. The results suggest that the treatment approach was well tolerated by the adolescents and that they experienced clinical benefit. This early report of the approach in adolescents is promising and requires further efficacy testing. C1 Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Boston, MA 02114 USA. Harvard Univ, Sch Med, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA.

The FDA has identified 131 cases of neurological adverse events, including 41 cases of arachnoiditis. A review of the literature reveals an overwhelming proportion of the complications are related to transforaminal epidural injections, of which cervical transforaminal epidural injections constituted the majority of neurological complications. Utilization data of epidural injections in the Medicare population revealed that cervical transforaminal epidural injections constitute only 2.4 % of total epidural injections and <5 % of all transforaminal epidural injections. Multiple theories have been proposed as the cause of neurological injury including particulate steroid, arterial intimal flaps, arterial dissection, dislodgement of plaque causing embolism, arterial muscle spasm, and embolism of a fresh thrombus following disruption of the intima.

To describe challenges faced by low-middle income countries (LMICs) across the cancer spectrum, with specific focus on gynecologic cancers. Methods. MEDLINE was searched for research articles published in English between January 1, 2000 and February 1, 2015 which reported on global health efforts in LMICs. Results. An estimated 80% of global cancer burden and only 5% of global cancer spending affect LMICs. The overwhelming majority of cervical cancer cases and related deaths occur in LMICs. The charge to close this cancer divide is at the center of global health efforts. Conclusions. Prevention is central to global health efforts to close the cancer divide. The gynecologic oncology community is well positioned to lead efforts in global health by partnering with institutions, professional societies and advocacy groups. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Visitors from the unremembered past. Fraiberg, Adelson, and Shapiro's (1975) words convey the relational intruders that they perceived while working with mothers and infants. A mother's unresolved past is a driving force within the treatment of mother-infant dyads. Working with these families, the therapist strives to process and metabolize the distress of the dyad while enabling the mother to contain the infant more fully. This article proposes that Fraiberg etal.'s metaphor may be newly elaborated utilizing Bion's (1962) original theoretical conceptualization of the container and contained. He posited that an infant projects distressing affective states upon the mother, who contains the experience, transforms the feelings, and then enables the infant to reintroject a more tolerable experience. This lays the foundation for the relational experience of being known by another and facilitates the infant's development of self-knowledge and emotional regulation. We utilize Fraiberg etal.'s original case material to identify ways in which ghosts in the nursery disrupt the processes of the container and contained. Bion's ideas may help enrich our understanding of how the therapeutic relationship enables cycles of containment, transitioning the material ghosts from being contained by the infant to being contained by the therapist, and to ultimately being transformed so that the mother can reattribute them to the past.

MethodsOver 10years (2003-2013), 80 samples were distributed; 33-55 laboratories participated per exercise providing 3833 total responses. Analysis was performed on numeric results and qualitative classification of results. ResultsThe sample FXI levels ranged from 3.8 to 154.0 IU/dL. The overall interlaboratory average coefficient of variation (CV%) was 17.5%; the CV was higher for a sample with low (3.8 IU/dL) FXI. Results were correctly classified as abnormal (100%) for a sample with 3.8 IU/dL FXI and normal/borderline normal (97.7%) for 45 samples with 80 to<140 IU/dL FXI. The classification was heterogeneous for samples with FXI of 50 to<80 IU/dL. Six specimens were repeat-tested from 2007 to 2013. The mean FXI was not significantly different in laboratories using the same method on both exercises, suggesting good intralaboratory precision over time.

We examined the effect of atrial fibrosis and ablation-induced scarring on catheter ablation outcomes in AF. MethodsWe conducted a prospective multicenter study that enrolled 329 AF patients presenting for catheter ablation. Delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) of the left atrium was obtained preablation. Scarring was evaluated in 177 patients with a DE-MRI scan obtained 90 days postablation. We evaluated residual fibrosis, defined as preablation atrial fibrosis not covered by ablation scar. The primary outcome was freedom from recurrent atrial arrhythmia. ResultsIn the analysis cohort of 177 patients, preablation fibrosis was 18.7 8.7% of the atrial wall. Ablation aimed at pulmonary vein (PV) isolation was performed in 163 patients (92.1%). Ablation-induced scar averaged 10.6 +/- 4.4% of the atrial wall. Scarring completely encircled all 4 PVs only in 12 patients (7.3%). Residual fibrosis was calculated at 15.8 +/- 8.0%. At 325 days follow-up, 35% of patients experienced recurrent arrhythmia. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models demonstrated that baseline atrial fibrosis (HR and 95% CIs) (1.09 [1.06-1.12], P < 0.001) and residual fibrosis (1.09 [1.05-1.13], P < 0.001) were associated with atrial arrhythmia recurrence, while PV encirclement and overall scar were not. ConclusionsCatheter ablation of AF targeting PVs rarely achieves permanent encircling scar in the intended areas. Overall atrial fibrosis present at baseline and residual fibrosis uncovered by ablation scar are associated with recurrent arrhythmia.

AimThe aim of this review was to present a model of sexual dysfunction in PTSD underpinned by an inability to regulate and redirect the physiological arousal needed for healthy sexual function away from aversive hyperarousal and intrusive memories. MethodA literature review pertaining to PTSD and sexual function was conducted. Evidence for the comorbidity of sexual dysfunction and PTSD is presented, and biological and psychological mechanisms that may underlie this co-occurrence are proposed. Main Outcome MeasuresThis manuscript presents evidence of sexual dysfunction in conjunction with PTSD, and of the neurobiology and neuroendocrinology of PTSD and sexual function. ResultsSexual dysfunction following trauma exposure may be mediated by PTSD-related biological, cognitive, and affective processes. ConclusionsThe treatment of PTSD must include attention to sexual dysfunction and vice versa. Yehuda R, Lehrner A, and Rosenbaum TY. PTSD and sexual dysfunction in men and women.

Price Transparency and Variability in Radiology SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Price transparency; medical imaging; noncontrast head CT ID HEALTH-CARE AB Purpose: To extend the investigation of price transparency and variability to medical imaging. Methods: Eighteen upper-tier academic hospitals identified by U.S. News & World Report and 14 of the 100 largest private radiology practices in the country identified by the Radiology Business Journal were contacted by telephone between December 2013 and February 2014 to determine the cash price for a noncontrast head CT. The price for a noncontrast head CT was chosen to assess price transparency in medical imaging because it represents a standard imaging examination with minimal differences in quality. Results: Fourteen upper-tier academic hospitals (78%) and 11 private practices (79%) were able to provide prices for a noncontrast head CT. There was no significant difference between the proportions of upper-tier academic hospitals and private practices that were able to provide prices for a noncontrast head CT (P = .96). The average total price for the upper-tier academic hospitals was $1,390.12 +/- $686.13, with the price ranging from $391.62 to $2,015. The average total price for the private practices was $681.60 +/- $563.58, with the total price ranging from $211 to $2,200. Conclusions: Prices for a noncontrast head CT study were readily available from the vast majority of upper-tier academic hospitals and private practices, although there was tremendous variation in the price estimates both within and between the upper-tier academic hospitals and private practices. Routine medical imaging thus appears to be more price transparent compared with other health care services.

Methods: The authors reviewed aggregated billing data, for which the requirement for institutional review board approval was waived, from 1,458,230 diagnostic radiologic examinations ordered for emergency department (ED) visits from 1996 to 2012. The growth rate was calculated as the average annual percentage change in imaging examinations per ED visits. The growth rates between 1996 to 2003 and 2004 to 2012 were statistically compared using a t test. Results: ED patient visits showed continual growth at an average of 3% per year. Total imaging per ED visit grew from 1996 to 2003 at 4 +/- 4% per year but significantly decreased from 2004 to 2012 at 2 3% per year (P = .01). By modality, statistically significant decreased growth was observed in CT and MRI from 2004 to 2012. Ultrasound and x-ray showed unchanged growth from 1996 through 2012. ED physician ultrasound data available for 2002 to 2011 also showed increased growth. Conclusions: When adjusting ED imaging volume by ED visits, significantly decreased growth of overall ED imaging, specifically CT and MRI, was observed during the past 9 years. This may be due to slowing of new imaging indications, improved awareness of practice guidelines, and increased use of ultrasound. Although the national health care discussion focuses on continual imaging growth, these results demonstrate that long-term stability in ED imaging utilization is achievable.

SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Social media; patient engagement academic radiology; private practice radiology ID HEALTH-CARE; RATING SITES; FACEBOOK; TWITTER; CRISIS AB Purpose: This study assesses the prevalence of use of the most commonly used social media sites among private radiology groups (PRGs) and academic radiology departments (ARDs). Methods: The 50 largest PRGs and the 50 ARDs with the highest level of funding from the National Institutes of Health were assessed for presence of a radiology-specific social media account on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and Linkedln. Measures of organizational activity and end-user activity were collected, including the number of posts and followers, as appropriate; between-group comparisons were performed. Results: PRGs adopted Facebook 12 months earlier (P = .02) and Twitter 18 months earlier (P = .02) than did ARDs. A total of 76% of PRGs maintained >= 1 account on the social media sites included in the study, compared with 28% of ARDs (P < .0001). The prevalence of having an account on the social media sites for PRGs was: Facebook, 66%; Linkedln, 56%; Twitter, 42%; YouTube, 20%; Pinterest, 4%; and Instagram, 2%. The prevalence of radiology-specific social media accounts for ARDs was: Facebook, 18%; LinkedIn, 0%; Twitter, 24%; YouTube, 6%; Pinterest, 0%; and Instagram, 0%. There was no significant difference between ARDs and PRGs in measures of end-user or organizational activity on Facebook or Twitter. Conclusions: Use of social media in health care is emerging as mainstream, with PRGs being early adopters of Facebook and Twitter in comparison with ARDs. Competitive environments and institutional policies may be strong factors that influence how social media is used by radiologists at the group and department levels.

TI Updated patterns of failure after multimodality therapy for malignant pleural mesothelioma SO JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY LA English DT Article ID MODULATED RADIATION-THERAPY; MACROSCOPIC COMPLETE RESECTION; DOSE HEMITHORACIC RADIATION; PHASE-II TRIAL; EXTRAPLEURAL PNEUMONECTOMY; TRIMODALITY THERAPY; INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY; HYPERTHERMIC CISPLATIN; SURGICAL-TREATMENT; CLINICAL-OUTCOMES AB Objective: We have previously described patterns of failure after extrapleural pneumonectomy and multimodality therapy for malignant pleural mesothelioma and sought to update our results with a larger cohort of recent patients. Methods: A total of 169 patients underwent extrapleural pneumonectomy without preoperative chemotherapy between 2001 and 2010. Data for treatment, recurrence, and survival were determined from medical records. A thoracic radiologist reviewed postoperative computed tomography or positron emission tomography computed tomography scans to determine sites of recurrence. Time to recurrence was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Rates were compared using the Fisher exact test. Results: The median age of patients was 62 years. Histology on final pathology was epithelial for 104 patients (62%) and nonepithelial for 65 patients (38%). A total of 132 patients (78%) received heated intraoperative chemotherapy; 77 patients (45%) received adjuvant chemotherapy, and 71 patients (42%) received adjuvant radiation therapy. Most chemotherapy regimens included platinum or pemetrexed. Median radiation therapy dose was 54 Gy. Among 158 evaluable patients, a recurrence developed in 118 (75%). Median follow-up was 83 months, median time to recurrence was 13.1 months, and median survival was 15 months. Sites of first recurrence were in the ipsilateral hemithorax or mediastinum for 54% of patients, in the abdomen for 39% of patients, in the contralateral hemithorax for 28% of patients, and in other distant sites for 5% of patients. Some patients had simultaneous recurrences in multiple sites. Conclusions: The most common site of recurrence after extrapleural pneumonectomy and planned multimodality therapy remains the ipsilateral hemithorax (including mediastinum), and true distant failure (other than the abdomen or contralateral hemithorax) remains unusual. The distribution of recurrences is strikingly similar to our prior report.

Intraoperative sonography is used to identify potentially correctable technical defects during carotid endarterectomy. The main risk of endarterectomy is perioperative stroke, and great effort has been put into trying to reduce this risk through various surgical techniques and evaluation of the surgical bed. Postoperative carotid thrombosis, or thombo-embolization from the arterectomy site, remains a common cause of perioperative stroke and is often related to technical defects in the arterial reconstruction procedure. Re-exploration and repair of any imperfections have the potential to improve outcomes. Intraoperative imaging can identify potentially occult lesions, provide the option for correction, and thus reduce chance of stroke. Familiarity with the spectrum of intraoperative sonographic findings helps correctly identify residual intimal dissection flaps, plaque, thrombi, and stenosis, which may require immediate surgical revision. Our objective is to illustrate the spectrum of intraoperative findings and their importance.

TI Mucus Barriers to Microparticles and Microbes are Altered in Hirschsprung's Disease SO MACROMOLECULAR BIOSCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Hirschsprung's disease; intestine; microbe transport; mucus; nanoparticle diffusion AB Mucus forms a protective hydrogel layer over the intestinal epithelium, presenting a selective and robust barrier to the uptake of particulates and microbe invasion. Disease can alter mucus production and composition, thus potentially modifying mucosal barrier properties. Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a developmental abnormality of the nervous system often complicated by intestinal infection. An investigation of colonic mucus barrier properties in an HD animal model, endothelin receptor B mutant mice, revealed significantly reduced microsphere (passive) and microbe (active) transport rates (7-fold and 3.6-fold, respectively, in proximal colonic mucus) relative to wild-type. Transport differences were evident in both the ganglionic and aganglionic colon segments, in agreement with the risk of HD-associated enterocolitis after surgery to remove aganglionic colon segments. The development of therapies aimed at altering colonic mucus barrier properties could be explored towards preventing the onset of enterocolitis in HD.

The clinical presentation may suggest multiple sclerosis (MS), but a highly specific serum autoantibody against the astrocytic water channel aquaporin-4 present in up to 80% of NMO patients enables distinction from MS. Optic neuritis may occur in either condition resulting in neuro-anatomical retinal changes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become a useful tool for analyzing retinal damage both in MS and NMO. Numerous studies showed that optic neuritis in NMO typically results in more severe retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell layer thinning and more frequent development of microcystic macular edema than in MS. Furthermore, while patients' RNFL thinning also occurs in the absence of optic neuritis in MS, subclinical damage seems to be rare in NMO. Thus, OCT might be useful in differentiating NMO from MS and serve as an outcome parameter in clinical studies. C1 [Bennett, J. L.] Univ Colorado, Dept Neurol, Denver, CO 80202 USA. [Bennett, J.

TI Parental Hope for Children With Advanced Cancer SO PEDIATRICS LA English DT Article ID QUALITATIVE CONTENT-ANALYSIS; PROGNOSIS; CARE; DISCLOSURE; COMMUNICATION; COLLUSION; TRUTH AB BACKGROUND: Previous work suggests that parents of children with cancer can remain hopeful despite receiving prognostic information, but we know little about what hope means to such parents, or the extent to which parents can feel hopeful even while facing the child's impending death. METHODS: We audiotaped conversations between clinicians and parents of 32 children with relapsed or refractory cancer, and then interviewed parents about their hopes and expectations for their child. RESULTS: Parent statements about prognosis in interviews mirrored those made by clinicians during discussions about the child's diagnosis with refractory or relapsed cancer. Clinicians used language referring to hope during these conversations but did not ask parents directly about their hopes. Parents expressed a range of hopes for their children, from hopes related to cure or treatment response, to quality of life, normalcy, and love and relationships for the child. For most parents, expectations about prognosis were not aligned with their hopes for the child; for example, many parents hoped for a cure and also reported that they did not believe cure was possible. Many parents were able to acknowledge this incongruence. CONCLUSIONS: Parents accurately conveyed the reality of their child's serious condition in the setting of advanced cancer, and yet maintained hope. Hopes were not limited to hope for cure/treatment response. Clinicians should be encouraged to engage in direct conversations about hope with parents as a means to elicit realistic hopes that can help to focus the most meaningful plans for the child and family.

One of the options is proper matching of the cornea donor and recipient for the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA), a subject of much debate. Currently, patients receiving their first corneal allograft are hardly ever matched for HLA and even patients undergoing a regraft usually do not receive an HLA-matched graft. While anterior and posterior lamellar grafts are not immune to rejection, they are usually performed in low risk, non-vascularized cases. These are the cases in which the immune privilege due to the avascular status and active immune inhibition is still intact. Once broken due to infection, sensitization or trauma rejection will occur. There is enough data to show that when proper DNA-based typing techniques are being used, even low risk perforating corneal transplantations benefit from matching for HLA Class I, and high risk cases from HLA Class I and probably Class II matching. Combining HLA class I and class II matching, or using the HLAMatchmaker could further improve the effect of HLA matching. However, new techniques could be applied to reduce the chance of rejection. Options are the local or systemic use of biologics, or gene therapy, aiming at preventing or suppressing immune responses. The goal of all these approaches should be to prevent a first rejection, as secondary grafts are usually at higher risk of complications including rejections than first grafts. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Objective: The authors attempt to assert the fundamentally clinical nature of capacity evaluations, while acknowledging that the concept of decisionmaking capacity must be legally grounded. Methods: Relevant aspects of clinical care are examined and emphasized as they apply to the evaluation of capacity for medical decision making. Results: Accessing patients' maximal abilities, attending to noncognitive aspects of choice, and identifing diagnostic explanations for patients' difficulties are important components of these assessments. Discussion: The evaluation of medical decisionmaking capacity is not a purely forensic task; it is enhanced by an approach that bridges the clinical-forensic divide.

TI Midregional Proadrenomedullin Predicts Mortality and Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients Presenting With Chest Pain: Results From the CHOPIN Trial SO ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID REGIONAL PRO-ADRENOMEDULLIN; ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROMES; ACUTE MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; ACUTE HEART-FAILURE; RISK STRATIFICATION; EMERGENCY-DEPARTMENT; TROPONIN-T; PEPTIDE; DISEASE; SCORE AB ObjectivesChest pain is a common complaint to emergency departments (EDs) and clinical risk factors are used to predict which patients are at risk for worse outcomes and mortality. The goal was to assess the novel biomarker midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in prediction of mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). MethodsThis was a subanalysis of the CHOPIN study, a 16-center prospective trial that enrolled 2,071 patients presenting with chest pain within 6hours of onset. The primary endpoint was 6-month all-cause mortality and the secondary endpoint was 30-day and 6-month MACE: ED visits or hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, reinfarction, revascularization, and heart failure. ResultsMR-proADM performed similarly to troponin (cTnI; c-statistic=0.845 and 0.794, respectively) for mortality prediction in all subjects and had similar results in those with noncardiac diagnoses. MR-proADM concentrations were stratified by decile, and the cohort in the top decile had a 9.8% 6-month mortality risk versus 0.9% risk for those in the bottom nine deciles (p<0.0001). MR-proADM, history of coronary artery disease (CAD), and hypertension were predictors of short-term MACE, while history of CAD, hypertension, cTnI, and MR-proADM were predictors of long-term MACE. ConclusionsIn patients with chest pain, MR-proADM predicts mortality and MACE in all-comers with chest pain and has similar prediction in those with a noncardiac diagnosis. This exploratory analysis is primarily hypotheses-generating and future prospective studies to identify its utility in risk stratification should be considered.

Optimizing emergency department (ED) diagnostic imaging has the potential to improve the quality, safety, and outcomes of ED patients, but to date, there have not been any coordinated efforts to further our evidence-based knowledge in this area. The objective of this article is to discuss six aspects of diagnostic imaging to provide background information on the underlying framework for the 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, Diagnostic Imaging in the Emergency Department: A Research Agenda to Optimize Utilization. The consensus conference aims to generate a high priority research agenda for emergency diagnostic imaging that will inform the design of future investigations. The six components herein will serve as the group topics for the conference: 1) patient-centered outcomes research; 2) clinical decision rules; 3) training, education, and competency; 4) knowledge translation and barriers to image optimization; 5) use of administrative data; and 6) comparative effectiveness research: alternatives to traditional CT use.

TI Feedback in Clinical Education: Untying the Gordian Knot SO ACADEMIC MEDICINE LA English DT Editorial Material AB Feedback is essential to clinical education, especially in the era of competencies, milestones, and entrustable professional activities. It is, however, an area where medical educators often fall short. Although educational leaders and faculty supervisors provide feedback in a variety of clinical settings, surveys show important gaps in medical student and resident satisfaction with the feedback received, suggesting lost opportunities to identify performance problems as well as to help each learner reach his or her greatest potential. In this issue of Academic Medicine, Telio and colleagues extend the empirically validated concept of a "therapeutic alliance" to propose the "educational alliance" as a framework for enhancing feedback in medical education. They highlight the importance of source credibility, which depends on the teacher-learner relationship and alignment of values, the teacher's understanding of the learner's role and goals, the teacher's direct observation of the learner, and the learner's perception of the teacher's good intentions. The author of this Commentary suggests that the educational alliance framework should prompt medical educators to reconsider feedback and explore opportunities for optimizing it. Most medical schools and graduate medical education programs are not designed in a way that supports the education alliance model, but the Commentary author offers suggestions for cultivating educational alliances, including rethinking supervisor selection criteria. Such interventions should be combined with ongoing faculty development and efforts to improve coaching and mentoring for students, residents, and fellows. Untying the Gordian knot of effective feedback will require innovative approaches, exchange of successful strategies, and continued research.

TI Beyond Neural Cubism: Promoting a Multidimensional View of Brain Disorders by Enhancing the Integration of Neurology and Psychiatry in Education SO ACADEMIC MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION; OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER; GRAY-MATTER DENSITY; CONTROLLED-TRIAL; STROKE PATIENTS; DOUBLE-BLIND; NEUROPSYCHIATRY; DEPRESSION; LAMOTRIGINE; 21ST-CENTURY AB Cubism was an influential early-20th-century art movement characterized by angular, disjointed imagery. The two-dimensional appearance of Cubist figures and objects is created through juxtaposition of angles. The authors posit that the constrained perspectives found in Cubism may also be found in the clinical classification of brain disorders. Neurological disorders are often separated from psychiatric disorders as if they stemmed from different organ systems. Maintaining two isolated clinical disciplines fractionalizes the brain in the same way that Pablo Picasso fractionalized figures and objects in his Cubist art. This Neural Cubism perpetuates a clinical divide that does not reflect the scope and depth of neuroscience. All brain disorders are complex and multidimensional, with aberrant circuitry and resultant psychopharmacology manifesting as altered behavior, affect, mood, or cognition. Trainees should receive a multidimensional education based on modern neuroscience, not a partial education based on clinical precedent. The authors briefly outline the rationale for increasing the integration of neurology and psychiatry and discuss a nested model with which clinical neuroscientists (neurologists and psychiatrists) can approach and treat brain disorders.

TI Advancing Educational Continuity in Primary Care Residencies: An Opportunity for Patient-Centered Medical Homes SO ACADEMIC MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID CAMBRIDGE INTEGRATED CLERKSHIP; ENTRUSTABLE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES; INTERNAL-MEDICINE; INTERPERSONAL CONTINUITY; CLINICAL EDUCATION; PERSONAL PHYSICIAN; TASK-FORCE; OUTCOMES; REDESIGN; PROGRAM AB Continuity of care is a core value of patients and primary care physicians, yet in graduate medical education (GME), creating effective clinical teaching environments that emphasize continuity poses challenges. In this Perspective, the authors review three dimensions of continuity for patient care-informational, longitudinal, and interpersonal-and propose analogous dimensions describing continuity for learning that address both residents learning from patient care and supervisors and interprofessional team members supporting residents' competency development. The authors review primary care GME reform efforts through the lens of continuity, including the growing body of evidence that highlights the importance of longitudinal continuity between learners and supervisors for making competency judgments. The authors consider the challenges that primary care residency programs face in the wake of practice transformation to patient-centered medical home models and make recommendations to maximize the opportunity that these practice models provide. First, educators, researchers, and policy makers must be more precise with terms describing various dimensions of continuity. Second, research should prioritize developing assessments that enable the study of the impact of interpersonal continuity on clinical outcomes for patients and learning outcomes for residents. Third, residency programs should establish program structures that provide informational and longitudinal continuity to enable the development of interpersonal continuity for care and learning. Fourth, these educational models and continuity assessments should extend to the level of the interprofessional team. Fifth, policy leaders should develop a meaningful recognition process that rewards academic practices for training the primary care workforce.

Clay TI Disruptive Innovation in Academic Medical Centers: Balancing Accountable and Academic Care SO ACADEMIC MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID HEALTH CENTERS; MISSION; COSTS AB Numerous academic medicine leaders have argued that academic referral centers must prepare for the growing importance of accountability-driven payment models by adopting population health initiatives. Although this shift has merit, execution of this strategy will prove significantly more problematic than most observers have appreciated. The authors describe how successful implementation of an accountable care health strategy within a referral academic medical center (AMC) requires navigating a critical tension: The academic referral business model, driven by tertiary-level care, is fundamentally in conflict with population health. Referral AMCs that create successful value-driven population health systems within their organizations will in effect disrupt their own existing tertiary care businesses. The theory of disruptive innovation suggests that balancing the push and pull of academic and accountable care within a single organization is achievable. However, it will require significant shifts in resource allocation and changes in management structure to enable AMCs to make the inherent difficult choices and trade-offs that will ensue. On the basis of the theories of disruptive innovation, the authors present recommendations for how academic health systems can successfully navigate these issues as they transition toward accountability-driven care.

Sachs, Benjamin P. TI The "For-Benefit" Academic Medical Center: A Solution for Survival SO ACADEMIC MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID HOSPITALS AB Academic medical centers (AMCs) are the backbone of the U.S. health care system. They provide a disproportionate share of charity care and serve as a training ground for future physicians. Yet, AMCs face profound economic challenges, from changes in funding to changes in the health care market. To survive, many AMCs will need to form integrated health systems, a process expected to cost tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars. Nearly all AMCs are structured as not-for-profit entities, which places restrictions on their ability to forge partnerships, pursue joint ventures, and access private capital, often essential elements for forming such integrated systems. An alternative model known as the "for-benefit" corporation can allow AMCs to retain their important social mission and the other advantages of their not-for-profit status while allowing them flexibility and access to both investment and philanthropic capital. To pursue the for-benefit pathway, AMCs have two options-either they could work within the constraints of existing laws to restructure themselves as for-benefit entities, or they could create, under federal law, a new for-benefit AMC model, allowing for the orderly conversion of not-for-profit AMCs. Essential components of a for-benefit AMC include a social purpose, access to multiple forms of capital, the use of earnings to support its purpose, transparency, aligned compensation, and tax exemptions. Restructuring an AMC as a for-benefit entity enables it to both advance shareholder value and further the public good. C1 [Sabeti, Heerad] Fourth Sector Networks, Raleigh, NC USA.

Method From 2009 to 2010, a survey was made available to all medical students enrolled in the 176 MD-and DO-granting medical schools in the United States and Canada. Respondents were asked about their sexual and gender identity, whether they were "out" (i.e., had publicly disclosed their identity), and, if they were not, their reasons for concealing their identity. The authors used a mixed-methods approach and analyzed quantitative and qualitative survey data. Results Of 5,812 completed responses (of 101,473 eligible respondents; response rate 5.7%), 920 (15.8%) students from 152 (of 176; 86.4%) institutions identified as SGMs. Of the 912 sexual minorities, 269 (29.5%) concealed their sexual identity in medical school. Factors associated with sexual identity concealment included sexual minority identity other than lesbian or gay, male gender, East Asian race, and medical school enrollment in the South or Central regions of North America. The most common reasons for concealing one's sexual identity were "nobody's business" (165/269; 61.3%), fear of discrimination in medical school (117/269; 43.5%), and social or cultural norms (110/269; 40.9%). Of the 35 gender minorities, 21 (60.0%) concealed their gender identity, citing fear of discrimination in medical school (9/21; 42.9%) and lack of support (9/21; 42.9%). Conclusions SGM students continue to conceal their identity during undergraduate medical training. Medical institutions should adopt targeted policies and programs to better support these individuals.

The authors sought to examine career and job satisfaction, perceptions of workforce shortages, and willingness to make career recommendations among primary care physicians (PCPs) and primary care nurse practitioners (PCNPs). Method In 2012, the authors mailed a national survey concerning the issues above to 1,914 randomly chosen clinicians found on national databases: 957 PCPs and 957 PCNPs. Results A total of 972 eligible clinicians (505 PCPs, 467 PCNPs) returned the survey. Using standard opinion research procedures, the authors estimated there were approximately 1,589 eligible clinicians in their sample (response rate, 61.2%). PCNPs and PCPs were more likely to recommend a career as a PCNP than as a PCP, despite the perception among all clinicians of a serious shortage of PCPs nationally and in their own communities. This finding held among PCNPs who reported low workplace autonomy and among PCPs reporting that they were satisfied with their own careers. Conclusions Efforts to solve the primary care workforce shortage that ignore the significant dissatisfaction of PCPs with their own careers are unlikely to be successful. Simply adding training slots and increasing reimbursement rates will do little to solve the problem if PCPs continue to view their own careers as ones they cannot recommend to others.

TI Understanding Adherence to Daily and Intermittent Regimens of Oral HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Kenya SO AIDS AND BEHAVIOR LA English DT Article DE HIV; Pre-exposure prophylaxis; Intermittent PrEP adherence; Men who have sex with men ID ANTIRETROVIRAL PROPHYLAXIS; TRANSGENDER WOMEN; PREVENTION; TRANSMISSION; INFECTION; TENOFOVIR; AFRICA; TRIALS AB A qualitative assessment of Kenyan men who have sex with men taking daily and intermittent oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) found stigma, sex work, mobility, and alcohol impacted adherence. We analyzed quantitative data from the same cohort to explore different definitions of intermittent adherence. Volunteers were randomized to daily emtricitabine/tenofovir or placebo, or intermittent (prescription: Mondays/Fridays/after sex, maximum 1 dose/day) emtricitabine/tenofovir or placebo (2:1:2:1), and followed for 4 months. By electronic monitoring, median adherence for daily dosing was 80 %. Median adherence for intermittent dosing was 71 % per a "relaxed" definition (accounting for off-prescription dosing) and 40 % per a "strict" definition (limited to the prescription). Factors associated with lower adherence included travel, transactional sex, and longer follow-up; higher adherence was associated with daily dosing and an income. The definition of intermittent dosing strongly affects interpretation of adherence. These findings suggest interventions should address challenges of mobility, sex work, and long-term PrEP.

TI Lay Social Resources for Support of Adherence to Antiretroviral Prophylaxis for HIV Prevention Among Serodiscordant Couples in sub-Saharan Africa: A Qualitative Study SO AIDS AND BEHAVIOR LA English DT Article DE HIV Prevention; PrEP; Adherence; Serodiscordant Couples; Sub-Saharan Africa; HIV Health Care Delivery in Africa ID PREEXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS; DISCORDANT COUPLES; TRANSPORT COSTS; RURAL UGANDA; THERAPY; TRANSMISSION; INFECTION; PROGRAM; TRIALS; WOMEN AB Effectiveness of antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention will require high adherence. Using qualitative data, this paper identifies potential lay social resources for support of PrEP adherence by HIV serodiscordant couples in Uganda, laying the groundwork for incorporation of these resources into adherence support initiatives as part of implementation. The qualitative analysis characterizes support for PrEP adherence provided by HIV-infected spouses, children, extended family members, and the larger community. Results suggest social resources for support of PrEP adherence in Africa are plentiful outside formal health care settings and health systems and that couples will readily use them. The same shortage of health professionals that impeded scale-up of antiretroviral treatment for HIV/AIDS in Africa promises to challenge delivery of PrEP. Building on the treatment scale-up experience, implementers can address this challenge by examining the value of lay social resources for adherence support in developing strategies for delivery of PrEP.

If individual participant data from these trials were to be combined, a meta-analysis of the resulting data, totaling approximately 2,300 patients, would allow estimation across a number of trials of the treatment effects both of ARB therapy and of beta-blockade. Such an analysis would also allow estimation of treatment effects in particular subgroups of patients on a range of end points of interest and would allow a more powerful estimate of the effects of these treatments on a composite end point of several clinical outcomes than would be available from any individual trial. Design A prospective, collaborative meta-analysis based on individual patient data from all randomized trials in Marfan syndrome of (i) ARBs versus placebo (or open-label control) and (ii) ARBs versus beta-blockers will be performed. A prospective study design, in which the principal hypotheses, trial eligibility criteria, analyses, and methods are specified in advance of the unblinding of the component trials, will help to limit bias owing to data-dependent emphasis on the results of particular trials. The use of individual patient data will allow for analysis of the effects of ARBs in particular patient subgroups and for time-to-event analysis for clinical outcomes. The meta-analysis protocol summarized in this report was written on behalf of the Marfan Treatment Trialists' Collaboration and finalized in late 2012, without foreknowledge of the results of any component trial, and will bemade available online (http:// www.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/research/meta-trials).

TI Rationale and design of the LosmApimod To Inhibit p38 MAP kinase as a TherapeUtic target and moDify outcomes after an acute coronary syndromE trial SO AMERICAN HEART JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID ACTIVATED PROTEIN-KINASE; HEART-FAILURE; INTERLEUKIN-6 RECEPTOR; MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; RHEUMATOID-ARTHRITIS; IN-VIVO; DISEASE; INFLAMMATION; ATHEROSCLEROSIS; PREVENTION AB Background p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) mediates cytokine production and amplification of the inflammatory cascade. Through inhibition of p38 MAPK, losmapimod appears to attenuate the inflammatory response in the vascular wall and thus may help stabilize plaques. Study design The LATITUDE-TIMI 60 trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study planned to be conducted in a 3-stage design. Overall, the trial is designed to include 25,500 patients hospitalized with non-ST-elevation or ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) randomized to oral losmapimod (7.5 mg twice daily) versus matching placebo. Part A consists of a leading cohort (n = 3,500) that will provide an initial assessment of safety and exploratory efficacy before progressing to part B. Part B (n = similar to 22,000) of the study is event driven and will provide the primary assessment of efficacy. An independent safety review will be conducted after 3,500 patients in part B1 to determine whether a more focused schedule of clinic visits and laboratory assessments can be implemented (part B2). All patients are to be treated with study drug until week 12 and followed up until week 24. The primary end point is the composite of cardiovascular death, MI, or severe recurrent ischemia requiring urgent coronary revascularization. The key secondary end point is the composite of cardiovascular death or MI. The trial is designed to provide = 90% power for the primary end point. Conclusions The LATITUDE-TIMI60 trial will determine the efficacy and safety of short-term p38MAPK inhibition with losmapimod in acute MI. The trial design adopts a stepwise approach to decision making and collection of data.

CA ELIXA Investigators TI Rationale, design, and baseline characteristics in Evaluation of LIXisenatide in Acute Coronary Syndrome, a long-term cardiovascular end point trial of lixisenatide versus placebo SO AMERICAN HEART JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID TYPE-2 DIABETES-MELLITUS; ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; RECEPTOR AGONIST LIXISENATIDE; RANDOMIZED CLINICAL-TRIALS; ONCE-DAILY LIXISENATIDE; REPERFUSION INJURY; EXENATIDE TWICE; GLUCOSE CONTROL; HEART-FAILURE; DOUBLE-BLIND AB Background Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of morbidity andmortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Furthermore, patients with T2DM and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have a particularly high risk of CV events. The glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, lixisenatide, improves glycemia, but its effects on CV events have not been thoroughly evaluated. Methods ELIXA (www.clinicaltrials.govno.NCT01147250) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study of lixisenatide in patients with T2DM and a recent ACS event. The primary aim is to evaluate the effects of lixisenatide on CV morbidity and mortality in a population at high CV risk. The primary efficacy end point is a composite of time to CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina. Data are systematically collected for safety outcomes, including hypoglycemia, pancreatitis, and malignancy. Results Enrollment began in July 2010 and ended in August 2013; 6,068 patients from 49 countries were randomized. Of these, 69% are men and 75% are white; at baseline, the mean +/- SD age was 60.3 +/- 9.7 years, body mass index was 30.2 +/- 5.7 kg/m(2), and duration of T2DM was 9.3 +/- 8.2 years. The qualifying ACS was a myocardial infarction in 83% and unstable angina in 17%. The study will continue until the positive adjudication of the protocol-specified number of primary CV events. Conclusion ELIXA will be the first trial to report the safety and efficacy of a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist in people with T2DM and high CV event risk.

Kevin TI Association of Hypothyroidism With Adverse Events in Patients With Heart Failure Receiving Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SUBCLINICAL THYROID-DYSFUNCTION; CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH; HORMONE METABOLISM; GENE-EXPRESSION; RISK; DISEASE; SYSTEM; T-3 AB Hypothyroidism is associated with an adverse prognosis in cardiac patients in general and in particular in patients with heart failure (HF). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of hypothyroidism on patients with HF receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Additionally, the, impact of level of control of hypothyroidism on risk of adverse events after CRT implantation was also evaluated. We included consecutive patients in whom a CRT device was implanted from April 2004 to April 2010 at our institution with sufficient follow-up data available for analysis; 511 patients were included (age 68.5 +/- 12.4 years, women 20.4%); 84 patients with a clinical history of hypothyroidism, on treatment with thyroid hormone repletion or serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level >= 5.00 mu U/ml, were included in the hypothyroid group. The patients were followed for up to 3 years after implant for a composite end point of hospitalization for HF, left ventricular assist device placement, or heart transplant and cardiac death; 215 composite end point events were noted in this period. In a multivariate model, hypothyroidism (hazard ratio [HR] 1.46, 95% confidence interval, [CI] 1.027 to 2.085, p = 0.035), female gender (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.428 to 0.963, p = 0.032), and creatinine (BR 1.26, 95% CI 1.145 to 1.382, p <0.001) were significantly associated with occurrence of the composite end point; 53.6% of patients with hypothyroidism at baseline developed the composite end point compared with 39.8% of those with euthyroidism (p = 0.02). In conclusion, hypothyroidism is associated with a worse prognosis after CRT implantation. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

To examine the association between worksite social support and changes in diet, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI). Design. Cohort analysis of an underlying randomized, controlled weight gain prevention worksite trial: Promoting Activity and Changes in Eating. Setting. The trial occurred in the greater Seattle area. Subjects. Baseline and follow-up data were obtained on a nested cohort of employees (n = 958-1078) from 33 small- to medium-sized worksites. Measures. Worksite social support, diet, physical activity, and BMI measures were assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. Analysis. To adjust for multilevel data and multiple time points, we used generalized estimating equations and logistic mixed models. Results. Higher baseline worksite social support was associated with greater changes in fruit and vegetable intake (p = .001; summary food-frequency questions). Conclusion. This study does not support a conclusive relationship between worksite social support and health behavior change.

The research team investigated patient-level and site-level factors that might account for this group difference. A summary measure of anticoagulation control (percent time in therapeutic range [TTR]), patient characteristics, and site-level process of care measures were obtained for 9572 black and 88 481 white patients at the Veterans Health Administration. The research team studied disparity in TTR adjusting for patient and site characteristics. Mean unadjusted TTR for black patients was 6.5% lower than for white patients (P < .001). After accounting for the younger age of blacks, greater degrees of medication use, hospitalization, poverty, living in the South, and 11 other patient characteristics, only 2.0% of this racial disparity persisted. Process of care measures had minimal additional effect. These findings may inform efforts to reduce this racial disparity in achieving good anticoagulation control.

TI Second-line uterotonics and the risk of hemorrhage-related morbidity SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 34th Annual Meeting of the Society-for-Obstetric-Anesthesia-and-Perinatology CY MAY 05-09, 2014 CL Toronto, CANADA SP Soc Obstet Anesthesia & Perinatol DE cesarean delivery; hemorrhage; morbidity; uterine atony ID POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE; UNITED-STATES; MATERNAL MORBIDITY; OXYTOCIN RECEPTORS; CESAREAN-DELIVERY; LABOR; HOSPITALIZATIONS; MYOMETRIUM; MANAGEMENT; INCREASE AB OBJECTIVE: Uterine atony is a leading cause of postpartum hemorrhage. Although most cases of postpartum hemorrhage respond to first-line therapy with uterine massage and oxytocin administration, second-line uterotonics including methylergonovine and carboprost are integral for the management of refractory uterine atony. Despite their ubiquitous use, it is uncertain whether the risk of hemorrhage-related morbidity differs in women exposed to methylergonovine or carboprost at cesarean delivery. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a secondary analysis using the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network Cesarean Registry. We identified women who underwent cesarean delivery and received either methylergonovine or carboprost for refractory uterine atony. The primary outcome was hemorrhage-related morbidity defined as intraoperative or postoperative red blood cell transfusion or the need for additional surgical interventions including uterine artery ligation, hypogastric artery ligation, or peripartum hysterectomy for atony. We compared the risk of hemorrhage-related morbidity in those exposed to methylergonovine vs carboprost. Propensity-score matching was used to account for potential confounders. RESULTS: The study cohort comprised 1335 women; 870 (65.2%) women received methylergonovine and 465 (34.8%) women received carboprost. After accounting for potential confounders, the risk of hemorrhage-related morbidity was higher in the carboprost group than the methylergonovine group (relative risk, 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-2.6). CONCLUSION: In this propensity score-matched analysis, methylergonovine was associated with reduced risk of hemorrhage-related morbidity during cesarean delivery compared to carboprost. Based on these results, methylergonovine may be a more effective second-line uterotonic. C1 [Butwick, Alexander J.; Carvalho, Brendan] Stanford Univ, Sch Med, Dept Anesthesia, Stanford, CA 94305 USA.

STUDY DESIGN: Vaginal swabs were collected prior to hysterectomy. The excised uterus was sterilely opened and swabs collected from the endometrium and upper endocervix. DNA was tested in 11 quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for 12 bacterial species: Lactobacillus iners, L crispatus, L jensenii, Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, Megasphaera spp, Prevotella spp, Leptotrichia/Sneathia, BVAB1, BVAB2, BVAB3, and a broad-range16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene assay. Endometrial fluid was tested with Luminex and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for cytokines and defensins and tissue for gene expression of defensins and cathelicidin. RESULTS: We enrolled 58 women: mean aged 43 +/- 7 years, mostly white (n = 46; 79%) and BV negative (n = 43; 74%). By species-specific quantitative PCR, 55 (95%) had UGT colonization with at least 1 species (n = 52) or were positive by 16S PCR (n = 3). The most common species were L iners (45% UGT, 61% vagina), Prevotella spp (33% UGT, 76% vagina) and L crispatus (33% UGT, 56% vagina). Median quantities of bacteria in the UGT were lower than vaginal levels by 2-4 log(10) ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene copies per swab. There were no differences in the endometrial inflammatory markers between women with no bacteria, Lactobacillus only, or any BV-associated species in the UGT. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that the endometrial cavity is not sterile in most women undergoing hysterectomy and that the presence of low levels of bacteria in the uterus is not associated with significant inflammation.

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study was performed utilizing 2006-2008 National linked birth certificate and death certificate data. The incidence of stillbirth and infant death were determined for each week of pregnancy from 32 0/7 weeks' through 40 6/7 weeks' gestation. Pregnancies complicated by fetal anomalies were excluded. These measures were combined to estimate the theoretic risk of remaining pregnant an additional week by adding the risk of stillbirth during the extra week of pregnancy with the risk of infant death encountered with delivery during the following week. This composite fetal/infant mortality risk was compared with the risk of infant death associated with delivery at the corresponding gestational age. RESULTS: The risk of stillbirth increased with increasing gestational age, for example, between 37 and 38 weeks' gestation (12.5 per 10,000 vs 22.5 per 10,000; P < .05). As expected, the risk of infant death following delivery gradually decreased as pregnancies approached term gestation. Week-by-week differences were statistically significant (P < .05) between 32 and 36 weeks with decreasing risk of infant death at advancing gestational ages. The composite risk of stillbirth and infant death associated with an additional week of pregnancy had a significant increase from 37 to 38 weeks' gestation (43.9 per 10,000 vs 59.2 per 10,000; P < .05). At 37 weeks' gestation, the relative risk of mortality was statistically significantly lower with immediate delivery as compared with expectant management (relative risk, 0.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.77-0.99). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that fetal/infant death risk is minimized at 37 weeks' gestation; however, individual maternal and fetal characteristics must also be taken into account when determining the optimal timing of delivery for twin pregnancies.

STUDY DESIGN: We identified women with stage I epithelial ovarian cancer and fallopian tube cancer who underwent treatment from 2000-2010. Correlation between categoric variables was assessed with chi(2) test. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to generate overall survival data. Factors predictive of outcome were compared with the use of the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: The study group consisted of 385 women with epithelial ovarian cancer and 43 women with fallopian tube cancer. Patients with fallopian tube cancer had a higher rate of stage IA disease (65% vs 48%; P = .02) and grade 3 tumors (60.4% vs 30.9%; P < .001). Patients with fallopian tube cancer had a significantly higher rate of breast cancer (25.6% vs 5.7%; P < .001) and BRCA 1 mutations (45.8% vs 9.1%; P < .001). There was no difference in the rates of platinum-based and paclitaxel chemotherapy between the groups. Women with fallopian tube cancer were more likely to have received >= 6 cycles of chemotherapy (58.1% vs 44.1%; P = .02). The 5-year disease-free survival rates were 100% in women with fallopian tube cancer and 93% in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (P = .04). The 5-year overall survival rates were 100% and 95% for fallopian tube cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer, respectively (P = .7). CONCLUSION: We found a higher rate of stage IA, grade 3, and serous carcinoma in fallopian tube cancer. Women with fallopian tube cancer had a higher rate of breast cancer. There was no difference in overall survival between the groups.

TI Effects of Serum Creatinine Calibration on Estimated Renal Function in African Americans: The Jackson Heart Study SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Calibration; Chronic kidney disease; CKD-EPI equation; Deming regression; Serum creatinine ID GLOMERULAR-FILTRATION-RATE; CHRONIC KIDNEY-DISEASE; CKD-EPI EQUATION; CYSTATIN C; RISK; GFR AB Background: The calibration to isotope dilution mass spectrometry-traceable creatinine is essential for valid use of the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation to estimate the glomerular filtration rate. Methods: For 5,210 participants in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS), serum creatinine was measured with a multipoint enzymatic spectrophotometric assay at the baseline visit (2000-2004) and remeasured using the Roche enzymatic method, traceable to isotope dilution mass spectrometry in a subset of 206 subjects. The 200 eligible samples (6 were excluded, 1 for failure of the remeasurement and 5 for outliers) were divided into 3 disjoint sets-training, validation and test-to select a calibration model, estimate true errors and assess performance of the final calibration equation. The calibration equation was applied to serum creatinine measurements of 5,210 participants to estimate glomerular filtration rate and the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Results: The selected Deming regression model provided a slope of 0.968 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.904-1.053) and intercept of 20.0248 (95% CI, -0.0862 to 0.0366) with R-2 value of 0.9527. Calibrated serum creatinine showed high agreement with actual measurements when applying to the unused test set (concordance correlation coefficient 0.934, 95% CI, 0.894-0.960). The baseline prevalence of CKD in the JHS (2000-2004) was 6.30% using calibrated values compared with 8.29% using noncalibrated serum creatinine with the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (P<0.001). Conclusions: A Deming regression model was chosen to optimally calibrate baseline serum creatinine measurements in the JHS, and the calibrated values provide a lower CKD prevalence estimate.

Methods: In 2010, we randomized all 180 1st-year medical students into a Web-based (intervention group) or a lecture-based (control group) cultural competency training. The main outcome was the overall score on the Health Belief Attitudes Survey (1 5 lowest, 6 5 highest). We examined internal consistency with factor analysis. Results: No differences were observed in the overall median scores between the intervention (median 5.2; 25th percentile [Q1] 4.9, 75th percentile [Q3] 5.5) and the control groups (median 5.3, Q1 4.9, Q3 5.6) (P = 0.77). The internal consistency of the 2 main subcomponents was good (Cronbach's alpha = 0.83) to acceptable (Cronbach's alpha = 0.69). Conclusions: A Web-based and a lecture-based cultural competency training strategies were associated with equally high positive attitudes among 1st-year medical students. These findings warrant further evaluation of Web-based cultural competency educational interventions. C1 [Carpenter, Riley] Univ Alabama Birmingham, Sch Med, Birmingham, AL 35294 USA.

TI Sociocultural and Structural Factors Contributing to Delays in Treatment for Children with Severe Malaria: A Qualitative Study in Southwestern Uganda SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE LA English DT Article ID HEALTH-SEEKING BEHAVIOR; PREVENTION; MANAGEMENT; TANZANIA; AFRICA; CARE; TRANSMISSION; MORBIDITY; HIV/AIDS; MEDICINE AB Malaria is a leading cause of pediatric mortality, and Uganda has among the highest incidences in the world. Increased morbidity and mortality are associated with delays to care. This qualitative study sought to characterize barriers to prompt allopathic care for children hospitalized with severe malaria in the endemic region of southwestern Uganda. Minimally structured, qualitative interviews were conducted with guardians of children admitted to a regional hospital with severe malaria. Using an inductive and content analytic approach, transcripts were analyzed to identify and define categories that explain delayed care. These categories represented two broad themes: sociocultural and structural factors. Sociocultural factors were 1) interviewee's distinctions of "traditional" versus "hospital" illnesses, which were mutually exclusive and 2) generational conflict, where deference to one's elders, who recommended traditional medicine, was expected. Structural factors were 1) inadequate distribution of health-care resources, 2) impoverishment limiting escalation of care, and 3) financial impact of illness on household economies. These factors perpetuate a cycle of illness, debt, and poverty consistent with a model of structural violence. Our findings inform a number of potential interventions that could alleviate the burden of this preventable, but often fatal, illness. Such interventions could be beneficial in similarly endemic, low-resource settings. C1 [Sundararajan, Radhika] Univ Calif San Diego, Dept Emergency Med, San Diego, CA 92103 USA.

Although rare, catastrophic neurologic injuries, including stroke and spinal cord injury, have occurred with these injections. Methods: A collaboration was undertaken between the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Safe Use Initiative, an expert multi-disciplinary working group, and 13 specialty stakeholder societies. The goal of this collaboration was to review the existing evidence regarding neurologic complications associated with epidural corticosteroid injections and produce consensus procedural clinical considerations aimed at enhancing the safety of these injections. U.S. Food and Drug Administration Safe Use Initiative representatives helped convene and facilitate meetings without actively participating in the deliberations or decision-making process. Results: Seventeen clinical considerations aimed at improving safety were produced by the stakeholder societies. Specific clinical considerations for performing transforaminal and interlaminar injections, including the use of nonparticulate steroid, anatomic considerations, and use of radiographic guidance are given along with the existing scientific evidence for each clinical consideration. Conclusion: Adherence to specific recommended practices when performing epidural corticosteroid injections should lead to a reduction in the incidence of neurologic injuries.

A. Jeevendra Yasuhara, Shingo TI Anesthesia with Disuse Leads to Autophagy Up-regulation in the Skeletal Muscle SO ANESTHESIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DUCHENNES MUSCULAR-DYSTROPHY; MICE; MITOCHONDRIA; RHABDOMYOLYSIS; PROLIFERATION; ANTIOXIDANT; MECHANISMS; INHIBITOR; MITOPHAGY; PATHWAYS AB Background: It has been known that skeletal muscles show atrophic changes after prolonged sedation or general anesthesia. Whether these effects are due to anesthesia itself or disuse during anesthesia has not been fully clarified. Autophagy dysregulation has been implicated in muscle-wasting conditions. This study tested the hypothesis that the magnitude of skeletal muscle autophagy is affected by both anesthesia and immobility. Methods: The extent of autophagy was analyzed chronologically during general anesthesia. In vivo microscopy was performed using green fluorescent protein-tagged LC3 for the detection of autophagy using sternomastoid muscles of live mice during pentobarbital anesthesia (n = 6 and 7). Western blotting and histological analyses were also conducted on tibialis anterior muscles (n = 3 to 5). To distinguish the effect of anesthesia from that due to disuse, autophagy was compared between animals anesthetized with pentobarbital and those immobilized by short-term denervation without continuation of anesthesia. Conversely, tibialis anterior and sternomastoid muscles were electrically stimulated during anesthesia. Results: Western blots and microscopy showed time-dependent autophagy up-regulation during pentobarbital anesthesia, peaking at 3 h (728.6 +/- 93.5% of basal level, mean +/- SE). Disuse by denervation without sustaining anesthesia did not lead to equivalent autophagy, suggesting that anesthesia is essential to cause autophagy. In contrast, contractile stimulation of the tibialis anterior and sternomastoid muscles significantly reduced the autophagy up-regulation during anesthesia (85% at 300 min). Ketamine, ketamine plus xylazine, isoflurane, and propofol also up-regulated autophagy. Conclusions: Short-term disuse without anesthesia does not lead to autophagy, but anesthesia with disuse leads to marked up-regulation of autophagy.

TI Practice Improvements Based on Participation in Simulation for the Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program SO ANESTHESIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID CONTINUING MEDICAL-EDUCATION; RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; CLOSED CLAIMS PROJECT; HEALTH-CARE; UNITED-STATES; COMMITMENT; PHYSICIANS; QUALITY; PERSPECTIVE; PERFORMANCE AB Background: This study describes anesthesiologists' practice improvements undertaken during the first 3 yr of simulation activities for the Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program. Methods: A stratified sampling of 3 yr (2010-2012) of participants' practice improvement plans was coded, categorized, and analyzed. Results: Using the sampling scheme, 634 of 1,275 participants in Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program simulation courses were evaluated from the following practice settings: 41% (262) academic, 54% (339) community, and 5% (33) military/other. A total of 1,982 plans were analyzed for completion, target audience, and topic. On follow-up, 79% (1,558) were fully completed, 16% (310) were partially completed, and 6% (114) were not completed within the 90-day reporting period. Plans targeted the reporting individual (89% of plans) and others (78% of plans): anesthesia providers (50%), non-anesthesia physicians (16%), and non-anesthesia non-physician providers (26%). From the plans, 2,453 improvements were categorized as work environment or systems changes (33% of improvements), teamwork skills (30%), personal knowledge (29%), handoff (4%), procedural skills (3%), or patient communication (1%). The median word count was 63 (interquartile range, 30 to 126) for each participant's combined plans and 147 (interquartile range, 52 to 257) for improvement follow-up reports. Conclusions: After making a commitment to change, 94% of anesthesiologists participating in a Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program simulation course successfully implemented some or all of their planned practice improvements. This compares favorably to rates in other studies. Simulation experiences stimulate active learning and motivate personal and collaborative practice improvement changes. Further evaluation will assess the impact of the improvements and further refine the program.

TI Guidelines for time-to-event end point definitions in sarcomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) trials: results of the DATECAN initiative (Definition for the Assessment of Time-to-event Endpoints in CANcer trials) SO ANNALS OF ONCOLOGY LA English DT Review DE guidelines; randomized controlled trial; time-to-event end point; efficacy measure; sarcoma; gastrointestinal stromal tumors ID HIGH-DOSE METHOTREXATE; SOFT-TISSUE SARCOMA; CLINICAL-TRIALS; RESPONSE CRITERIA; MURAMYL TRIPEPTIDE; PEDIATRIC-ONCOLOGY; RANDOMIZED-TRIALS; PLUS DOXORUBICIN; EWINGS-SARCOMA; BREAST-CANCER AB Background: The use of potential surrogate end points for overall survival, such as disease-free survival (DFS) or timeto-treatment failure (TTF) is increasingly common in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in cancer. However, the definition of time-to-event (TTE) end points is rarely precise and lacks uniformity across trials. End point definition can impact trial results by affecting estimation of treatment effect and statistical power. The DATECAN initiative (Definition for the Assessment of Time-to-event End points in CANcer trials) aims to provide recommendations for definitions of TTE end points. We report guidelines for RCT in sarcomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods: We first carried out a literature review to identify TTE end points (primary or secondary) reported in publications of RCT. An international multidisciplinary panel of experts proposed recommendations for the definitions of these end points. Recommendations were developed through a validated consensus method formalizing the degree of agreement among experts. Results: Recommended guidelines for the definition of TTE end points commonly used in RCT for sarcomas and GIST are provided for adjuvant and metastatic settings, including DFS, TTF, time to progression and others. Conclusion: Use of standardized definitions should facilitate comparison of trials' results, and improve the quality of trial design and reporting. These guidelines could be of particular interest to research scientists involved in the design, conduct, reporting or assessment of RCT such as investigators, statisticians, reviewers, editors or regulatory authorities.

TI A randomized phase II study of the MEK1/MEK2 inhibitor trametinib (GSK1120212) compared with docetaxel in KRAS-mutant advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) SO ANNALS OF ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article DE trametinib; MEK inhibitor; docetaxel; NSCLC; KRAS; progression-free survival ID GROWTH-FACTOR RECEPTOR; TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITORS; MEK INHIBITION; MUTATIONS; SURVIVAL; EFFICACY; ADENOCARCINOMAS; ONCOGENE; BEHAVIOR; CRITERIA AB Background: KRAS mutations are detected in 25% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and no targeted therapies are approved for this subset population. Trametinib, a selective allosteric inhibitor of MEK1/MEK2, demonstrated preclinical and clinical activity in KRAS-mutant NSCLC. We report a phase II trial comparing trametinib with docetaxel in patients with advanced KRAS-mutant NSCLC. Patients and methods: Eligible patients with histologically confirmed KRAS-mutant NSCLC previously treated with one prior platinum-based chemotherapy were randomly assigned in a ratio of 2:1 to trametinib (2 mg orally once daily) or docetaxel (75 mg/m(2) i.v. every 3 weeks). Crossover to the other arm after disease progression was allowed. Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). The study was prematurely terminated after the interim analysis of 92 PFS events, which showed the comparison of trametinib versus docetaxel for PFS crossed the futility boundary. Results: One hundred and twenty-nine patients with KRAS-mutant NSCLC were randomized; of which, 86 patients received trametinib and 43 received docetaxel. Median PFS was 12 weeks in the trametinib arm and 11 weeks in the docetaxel arm (hazard ratio [HR] 1.14; 95% CI 0.75-1.75; P = 0.5197). Median overall survival, while the data are immature, was 8 months in the trametinib arm and was not reached in the docetaxel arm (HR 0.97; 95% CI 0.52-1.83; P = 0.934). There were 10 (12%) partial responses (PRs) in the trametinib arm and 5 (12%) PRs in the docetaxel arm (P = 1.0000). The most frequent adverse events (AEs) in >= 20% of trametinib patients were rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. The most frequent grade 3 treatment-related AEs in the trametinib arm were hypertension, rash, diarrhea, and asthenia. Conclusion: Trametinib showed similar PFS and a response rate as docetaxel in patients with previously treated KRAS-mutant-positive NSCLC. C1 [Blumenschein, G.

Patients and methods: Patients with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma were randomly assigned 2 : 2 : 1 to receive intravenous gemcitabine 1000 mg/m(2) (days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle) plus placebo, ganitumab 12 mg/kg, or ganitumab 20 mg/kg (days 1 and 15 of each cycle). The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), safety, and efficacy by levels of circulating biomarkers. Results: Overall, 322 patients were randomly assigned to placebo, 318 to ganitumab 12 mg/kg, and 160 to ganitumab 20 mg/kg. The study was stopped based on results from a preplanned futility analysis; the final results are reported. Median OS was 7.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 6.3-8.2] in the placebo arm, 7.0 months (95% CI, 6.2-8.5) in the ganitumab 12-mg/kg arm [hazard ratio (HR), 1.00; 95% CI, 0.82-1.21; P = 0.494], and 7.1 months (95% CI, 6.4-8.5) in the ganitumab 20-mg/kg arm (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.76-1.23; P = 0.397). Median PFS was 3.7, 3.6 (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.84-1.20; P = 0.520), and 3.7 months (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.77-1.22; P = 0.403), respectively. No unexpected toxicity was observed with ganitumab plus gemcitabine. The circulating biomarkers assessed [insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), IGF-binding protein-2, and -3] were not associated with a treatment effect on OS or PFS by ganitumab. Conclusion: Ganitumab combined with gemcitabine had manageable toxicity but did not improve OS, compared with gemcitabine alone in unselected patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. C1 [Fuchs, C.

Design: Safety and efficacy nonrandomized controlled trial with 1-month follow-up. Setting: Ambulatory clinics. Participants: Patients (N=30) with head and neck cancer (HNC) and chronic dysphagia completed the intervention. Fifteen of these patients participated in a 1-month follow-up visit. Interventions: Training protocol based on hierarchy of motor skill acquisition to encourage autonomous and optimal respiratory-swallowing coordination. Visual feedback of respiratory phase and volume for swallowing initiation was provided by nasal airflow and rib cage/abdomen signals. Main Outcome Measures: Respiratory-swallow phase pattern, Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSIrnP) scores, Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) scores, and MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory scores. Results: Using visual feedback, patients were trained to initiate swallows during the midexpiratory phase of quiet breathing and continue to expire after swallowing. This optimal phase patterning increased significantly after treatment (P<.0001). Changes in respiratory-swallowing coordination were associated with improvements in 3 MBSIrnP component scores: laryngeal vestibular closure (P=.0004), tongue base retraction (P<.0001), and pharyngeal residue (P=.01). Significant improvements were also seen in PAS scores (P<.0001). Relative to pretreatment values, patients participating in 1-month follow-up had increased optimal phase patterning (P<.0001), improved laryngeal vestibular closure (P=.01), tongue base retraction (P=.003), and pharyngeal residue (P=.006) MBSImP scores and improved PAS scores (P<.0001). Conclusions: Improvements in respiratory-swallowing coordination can be trained using a systematic protocol and respiratory phase-lung volume-related biofeedback in patients with HNC and chronic dysphagia, with favorable effects on airway protection and bolus clearance.

TI Self-Efficacy as a Longitudinal Predictor of Perceived Cognitive Impairment in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis SO ARCHIVES OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION LA English DT Article DE Cognition; Executive function; Longitudinal studies; Multiple sclerosis; Rehabilitation; Self efficacy; Self report ID QUALITY-OF-LIFE; DISABILITY STATUS SCALE; TRAUMATIC BRAIN-INJURY; PHYSICAL-ACTIVITY; HEALTH-STATUS; DEPRESSION; ADJUSTMENT; MANAGEMENT; DISORDERS; ADHERENCE AB Objectives: To determine whether self-efficacy longitudinally predicts 2 types of perceived cognitive impairment (PCI) in multiple sclerosis (MS): general cognitive functioning and executive functioning; and secondarily to assess whether self-efficacy mediates the relationships between depression, fatigue, and PCI. Design: Longitudinal analysis of self-report survey data collected over 3 years. Hierarchical regression analyses examined the relationship between self-efficacy and PCI, adjusting for depression and fatigue. Additional analyses tested self-efficacy as a mediator between depression, fatigue, and PCI. Setting: Community. Participants: Community-dwelling individuals with MS (N=233; age range, 22-83y) were recruited from a larger longitudinal survey study of individuals with MS (N=562). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome measures were the Applied Cognition General Concerns and the Applied Cognition Executive Function domains of the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (NeuroQoL) measures. Results: Self-efficacy was significantly correlated with PCI at baseline (r=.40.53) and 3 years later (r=.36.44). In multivariate regression analyses, self-efficacy was a significant longitudinal predictor of PCI, both for general cognitive functioning (13=20, P<.01) and executive functioning (13=.16, P<.05). Self-efficacy partially mediated the relationships between depression, fatigue, and PCI. Conclusions: Self-efficacy may influence how individuals with MS perceive their cognitive functioning over time. Interventions that target self-efficacy, particularly early in the disease course, may lead to improvements in PCI, as well as improvements in fatigue and depression.

TI More Than Reflections: Empathy in Motivational Interviewing Includes Language Style Synchrony Between Therapist and Client SO BEHAVIOR THERAPY LA English DT Article DE empathy; motivational interviewing; synchrony; linguistic inquiry word count; motivational interviewing treatment integrity ID SOCIAL-INTERACTION; PSYCHOTHERAPY; METAANALYSIS; COUNSELORS; BEHAVIORS AB Empathy is a basic psychological process that involves the development of synchrony in dyads. It is also a foundational ingredient in specific, evidence-based behavioral treatments like motivational interviewing (MI). Ratings of therapist empathy typically rely on a gestalt, "felt sense" of therapist understanding and the presence of specific verbal behaviors like reflective listening. These ratings do not provide a direct test of psychological processes like behavioral synchrony that are theorized to be an important component of empathy in psychotherapy. To explore a new objective indicator of empathy, we hypothesized that synchrony in language style (i.e., matching how statements are phrased) between client and therapists would predict gestalt ratings of empathy over and above the contribution of reflections. We analyzed 122 MI transcripts with high and low empathy ratings based on the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity global rating scale. Linguistic inquiry and word count was used to estimate language style synchrony (LSS) of adjacent client and therapist talk turns. High-empathy sessions showed greater LSS across 11 language style categories compared with low-empathy sessions (p<.01), and overall, average LSS was notably higher in high-empathy versus low-empathy sessions (d = 0.62). Regression analyses showed that LSS was predictive of empathy ratings over and above reflection counts; a 1 SD increase in LSS is associated with a 2.4 times increase in the odds of a high-empathy rating, controlling for therapist reflections (odds ratio = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.36; 4.24, p<.01). These findings suggest empathy ratings are related to synchrony in language style, over and above synchrony of content as measured by therapist reflections. Novel indicators of therapist empathy may have implications for the study of MI process as well as the training of therapists.

We present a dual-modality fiber-based optical imaging system for simultaneous microstructural and molecular analysis of atherosclerotic plaques that combines optical coherence tomography (OCT) and two-photon luminescence (TPL) imaging. Experimental results from ex vivo human coronary arteries show that OCT and TPL optical contrast in recorded OCT-TPL images is complimentary and in agreement with histological analysis. Molecular composition (e. g., lipid and oxidized-LDL) detected by TPL imaging can be overlaid onto plaque microstructure depicted by OCT, providing new opportunities for atherosclerotic plaque identification and characterization.

Unfortunately, a significant proportion of candidate patients are considered transplant ineligible due to their poor general condition and advanced age at the time of diagnosis. The approval of the first JAK inhibitor, ruxolitinib, for patients with advanced MF in 2011 has had a qualified impact on the treatment algorithm. The drug affords substantial improvement in MF-associated symptoms and splenomegaly but no major effect on the natural history. There has, therefore, been considerable support for assessing the drug's candidacy in the peritransplant period. The drug's precise impact on clinical outcome following allo-SCT is currently not known; nor are the drug's long-term efficacy and safety known. Considering the rarity of MF and the small proportion of patients who undergo allo-SCT, well designed collaborative efforts are required. In order to address some of the principal challenges, an expert panel of laboratory and clinical experts in this field was established, and an independent workshop held during the 54th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in New Orleans, USA on 6 December 2013, and the European Hematology Association's Annual Meeting in Milan, Italy on 13 June 2014.

One of the noteworthy genes in 15q13.3 is CHRNA7, which encodes the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha 7 subunit (alpha 7nAChR) associated with schizophrenia in clinical studies,and rodent models. This study investigates the role of alpha 7nAChR in maternal immune activation (MIA) mice model, a murine model of environmental risk factor for autism and schizophrenia. We provided choline, a selective alpha 7nAChR agonist among its several developmental roles, in the diet of C57BL/6N wild-type dams throughout the gestation and lactation period and induced MIA at mid-gestation. The adult offspring behavior and gene expression profile in the maternal-placental-fetal axis at mid-gestation were investigated. We found that choline supplementation prevented several MIA-induced behavioral abnormalities in the wild-type offspring. Pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (Il6) and Chrna7 gene expression in the wild-type fetal brain were elevated by poly(I:C) injection and were suppressed by gestational choline supplementation. We further investigated the gene expression level of Il6 in Chrna7 mutant mice. We found that the basal level of Il6 was higher in Chrna7 mutant fetal brain, which suggests that alpha 7nAChR may serve an anti-inflammatory role in the fetal brain during development. Lastly, we induced MIA in Chrna7(+/-) offspring. The Chrna7(+/-) offspring were more vulnerable to MIA, with increased behavioral abnormalities. Our study shows that alpha 7nAChR modulates inflammatory response affecting the fetal brain and demonstrates its effects on offspring behavior development after MIA. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

A train-of-four ratio (TOFR) >= 0.9 measured by quantitative neuromuscular monitoring is accepted as an indication of sufficient neuromuscular recovery for extubation, even though many postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors may still be inhibited. We investigated whether antagonism with sugammadex after spontaneous recovery to TOFR >= 0.9 further improves muscle function or subjective well-being. Methods. Following recovery to TOFR >= 0.9 and emergence from anaesthesia, 300 patients randomly received either sugammadex 1.0 mg kg(-1) or placebo. Fine motor function (Purdue Pegboard Test) and maximal voluntary grip strength were measured before and after surgery (before and after test drug administration). At discharge from the postanaesthesia care unit, well-being was assessed with numerical analogue scales and the Quality-of-Recovery Score 40 (QoR-40). Results. Patients' fine motor function [6 (SD 4) vs 15 (3) pegs (30 s)(-1), P<0.05] and maximal voluntary grip strength (284 (126) vs 386 (125) N, P<0.05) were significantly lower after anaesthesia compared with the pre-anaesthesia baseline. After sugammadex or placebo, motor function was significantly improved in both groups but did not reach the preoperative level. There was no difference between groups at any time. Global well-being was unaffected (QoR-40: placebo, 174 vs 185; sugammadex, 175 vs 186, P>0.05). Conclusions. Antagonizing rocuronium at TOF >= 0.9 with sugammadex 1.0 mg kg(-1) did not improve patients' motor function or well-being when compared with placebo. Our data support the view that TOFR >= 0.9 measured by electromyography signifies sufficient recovery of neuromuscular function. C1 [Baumueller, E.; Schaller, S. J.; Lama, Y. Chiquito; Frick, C.

TI Retrospective analysis of the incidence of epidural haematoma in patients with epidural catheters and abnormal coagulation parameters SO BRITISH JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA LA English DT Article DE anticoagulant; epidural analgesia; international normalized ratio; partial thromboplastin time; spinal epidural haematoma ID NEURAXIAL ANESTHESIA; REGIONAL-ANESTHESIA; INVASIVE PROCEDURES; ANTICOAGULATION; COMPLICATIONS; RISK AB Background. Epidural haematoma is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication associated with epidural catheterization. The times of insertion and removal of epidural catheters are high-risk periods for epidural haematoma formation, especially with abnormal coagulation parameters. There is a lack of data on the incidence of epidural haematoma in patients with abnormal coagulation parameters. Methods. A retrospective analysis was undertaken from 2002 to 2009 on patients with an epidural catheter. Queries were performed on the coagulation parameters for the dates of placement and removal of the catheters and on all documented epidural haennatoma cases. Results. During the study period, 11 600 epidural catheters were placed. In the setting of abnormal coagulation parameters, 278 (2.4%) epidural catheters were placed and 351 (3%) were removed. Two epidural haematomas occurred; both patients had epidural catheters and spinal drains placed for vascular procedures with abnormal coagulation parameters after operatation. The haematomas occurred after removal of the catheters. Based on our study, the incidence of epidural haematoma in patients with abnormal coagulation parameters is 1 in 315 patients, with the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval at 87 and the upper limit at 2597. Conclusions. The risk of epidural haematoma is clearly elevated with abnormal coagulation parameters. Our data suggest that as the incidence of epidural haematoma with neuraxial access in patients with abnormal coagulation is not 100%, individual risk-benefit evaluations are warranted.

Pevonedistat was administered via a 60-min intravenous infusion on days 1, 3 and 5 (schedule A, n=27), or days 1, 4, 8 and 11 (schedule B, n=26) every 21-days. Dose escalation proceeded using a standard 3+3' design. Responses were assessed according to published guidelines. The MTD for schedules A and B were 59 and 83mg/m(2), respectively. On schedule A, hepatotoxicity was dose limiting. Multi-organ failure (MOF) was dose limiting on schedule B. The overall complete (CR) and partial (PR) response rate in patients treated at or below the MTD was 17% (4/23, 2 CRs, 2 PRs) for schedule A and 10% (2/19, 2 PRs) for schedule B. Pevonedistat plasma concentrations peaked after infusion followed by elimination in a biphasic pattern. Pharmacodynamic studies of biological correlates of NAE inhibition demonstrated target-specific activity of pevonedistat. In conclusion, administration of the first-in-class agent, pevonedistat, was feasible in patients with MDS and AML and modest clinical activity was observed.

Weight management, physical activity, and a healthy diet are key components of tertiary prevention but may be areas in which the oncologist and/or the oncology care team may be less familiar. This article reviews current diet and physical activity guidelines, the evidence supporting those recommendations, and provides an overview of practical interventions that have resulted in favorable improvements in lifestyle behavior change in cancer survivors. It also describes current lifestyle practices among cancer survivors and the role of the oncologist in helping cancer patients and survivors embark upon changes in lifestyle behaviors, and it calls for the development of partnerships between oncology providers, primary care providers, and experts in nutrition, exercise science, and behavior change to help positively orient cancer patients toward longer and healthier lives.

These evidence-based fatigue recommendations are available for clinicians, and some have patient versions; but barriers at the patient, clinician, and system levels hinder dissemination and implementation into practice. The underlying biologic mechanisms for this debilitating symptom have not been elucidated completely, hindering the development of mechanistically driven interventions. However, significant progress has been made toward methods for screening and comprehensively evaluating fatigue and other common symptoms using reliable and valid self-report measures. Limited data exist to support the use of any pharmacologic agent; however, several nonpharmacologic interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing fatigue in adults. Never before have evidence-based recommendations for fatigue management been disseminated by 4 premier cancer organizations (the National Comprehensive Cancer, the Oncology Nursing Society, the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer/Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology, and the American Society of Clinical Oncology). Clinicians may ask: Are we ready for implementation into practice? The reply: A variety of approaches to screening, evaluation, and management are ready for implementation. To reduce fatigue severity and distress and its impact on functioning, intensified collaborations and close partnerships between clinicians and researchers are needed, with an emphasis on system-wide efforts to disseminate and implement these evidence-based recommendations.

The purpose of this study was to compare the activation and antigen-presentation capacity of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDC) from cirrhotic patients (CIR) relative to healthy donors (HD). MoDC from CIR and HD were matured, phenotyped, irradiated and pulsed with 15mer peptides for two hepatocellular carcinoma-related antigens, alphafetoprotein and glypican-3, then co-cultured with autologous T-cells. Expanded T-cells were evaluated by interferon-gamma ELISPOT and intracellular staining. 15 CIR and 7 HD were studied. While CD14+ monocytes from CIR displayed enhanced M2 polarization, under MoDC-polarizing conditions, we identified no significant difference between HD and CIR in maturation-induced upregulation of co-stimulation markers. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed between CIR and HD in subsequent expansion of tumor antigen-specific IFN gamma+ T-cells. Conclusion: MoDCs isolated from cirrhotic individuals retain similar capacity for in vitro activation, maturation and antigen-presentation as those from healthy donors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Although these 3 entities share many pathogenic characteristics, such as dysregulated Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling, they differ substantially regarding prognosis, progression to myelofibrosis (MF), risk of leukemic transformation, and specific medical needs. Accurate diagnosis and classification of myeloproliferative neoplasms are prerequisites for appropriate risk-based therapy and should be based on an integrated approach following the World Health Organization guidelines that, in addition to clinical, molecular, and cytogenetic evaluation, includes the examination of bone marrow morphology. Reticulin fibrosis at presentation in ET and PV is associated with increased risk of myelofibrotic transformation, and higher fibrosis grade in patients with MF is associated with worse prognosis. Additional assessment of collagen deposition and osteosclerosis may further increase diagnostic and prognostic precision. Moreover, the evaluation of bone marrow pathology has become very important in the new era of disease-modifying agents. In randomized controlled phase 3 studies, the JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib provided rapid and lasting improvement in MF-related splenomegaly and symptom burden as well as a survival advantage compared with placebo or best available therapy. Follow-up for up to 5 years of patients who participated in a phase 1/2 study of ruxolitinib, revealed stabilization or reversal of bone marrow fibrosis in a proportion of patients with MF. Combinations of JAK inhibitors with other therapies, including agents with antifibrotic and/or anti-inflammatory properties, may possibly decrease bone marrow fibrosis further and favorably influence clinical outcomes.

CA Int Threshold Working Grp ITWG TI When is rational to order a diagnostic test, or prescribe treatment: the threshold model as an explanation of practice variation SO EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION LA English DT Review DE Clinical cognition; decision making; diagbnostic threshold; practice variation; rationality; treatment threshold ID DECISION CURVE ANALYSIS; NEGATIVE PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS; ACCEPTABLE REGRET APPROACH; HEALTH-CARE; REGIONAL-VARIATIONS; PREDICTION MODELS; BACKGROUND RISK; PROSPECT-THEORY; PHYSICIANS; PREFERENCES AB BackgroundThe threshold model represents an important advance in the field of medical decision-making. It is a linchpin between evidence (which exists on the continuum of credibility) and decision-making (which is a categorical exercise - we decide to act or not act). The threshold concept is closely related to the question of rational decision-making. When should the physician act, that is order a diagnostic test, or prescribe treatment? The threshold model embodies the decision theoretic rationality that says the most rational decision is to prescribe treatment when the expected treatment benefit outweighs its expected harms. However, the well-documented large variation in the way physicians order diagnostic tests or decide to administer treatments is consistent with a notion that physicians' individual action thresholds vary. MethodsWe present a narrative review summarizing the existing literature on physicians' use of a threshold strategy for decision-making. ResultsWe found that the observed variation in decision action thresholds is partially due to the way people integrate benefits and harms. That is, explanation of variation in clinical practice can be reduced to a consideration of thresholds. Limited evidence suggests that non-expected utility threshold (non-EUT) models, such as regret-based and dual-processing models, may explain current medical practice better. However, inclusion of costs and recognition of risk attitudes towards uncertain treatment effects and comorbidities may improve the explanatory and predictive value of the EUT-based threshold models. ConclusionsThe decision when to act is closely related to the question of rational choice. We conclude that the medical community has not yet fully defined criteria for rational clinical decision-making. The traditional notion of rationality rooted in EUT may need to be supplemented by reflective rationality, which strives to integrate all aspects of medical practice - medical, humanistic and socio-economic - within a coherent reasoning system.

Kent TI Effect of Delay to Definitive Surgical Fixation on Wound Complications in the Treatment of Closed, Intra-articular Calcaneus Fractures SO FOOT & ANKLE INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE calcaneus; fracture; wound complication; time to fixation; delay; risk factors; operative approach ID PRIMARY SUBTALAR ARTHRODESIS; HEALING RISK-FACTORS; INTERNAL-FIXATION; OPEN REDUCTION; OPERATIVE TREATMENT; NONOPERATIVE TREATMENT; RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS; MANAGEMENT; INFECTION; PROTOCOL AB Background: There are conflicting data regarding the benefits of delaying operative fixation of calcaneus fractures to decrease wound complication rates. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of delaying fixation on wound complication rates as well as to identify other risk factors. Methods: A retrospective review at 4 institutions, including 24 surgeons, identified 405 closed, operatively treated, intra-articular calcaneus fractures. We compared fractures with and without wound complications with regards to patient demographics, medical risk factors, fracture severity, time to fixation, operative approach, primary subtalar arthrodesis, and surgeon experience. Results: Wound complications were observed in 21% (87/405) of fractures, of which 33% (29/87) required operative intervention. Male sex (P = .032), smoking (P = .028), and the extensile lateral approach (P < .001) were associated with higher complication rates. Fractures treated with an extensile lateral approach had an overall wound complication rate of 32.1%, while those treated with a sinus tarsi or percutaneous approach had an overall wound complication rate of 8.3% (odds ratio [OR], 5.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.9-9.5; P < .001). Among patients treated with an extensile lateral approach, delayed operative fixation did not decrease wound complication rates despite comparable fracture severity across time points. In contrast, among fractures treated with less invasive approaches, delayed fixation beyond 2 weeks resulted in a significantly increased wound complication rate of 15.2% as compared to a wound complication rate of only 2.1% among fractures treated within a week of injury (OR, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.3-9.5; P = .01). This was observed despite similar fracture severity across time points. Primary subtalar arthrodesis did not impact complication rates. A higher wound complication rate among senior surgeons was likely secondary to their predilection for the extensile lateral approach. Conclusion: Delaying definitive fixation of closed, intra-articular calcaneus fractures did not decrease wound complication rates when using the extensile lateral approach, and we found an increased wound complication rate when using less invasive approaches.

We sought to identify the differential expression of microRNAs in pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) and their association with different clinical phenotypes.Methods:MicroRNA expression analysis was performed in colonic tissues derived from pediatric patients with UC and controls without IBD. MiR-4284 levels were verified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in 2 additional cohorts of pediatric patients with UC. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict the targets of miR-4284. In vitro experiments using luciferase reporter assays and real-time polymerase chain reaction evaluated the direct effect of miR-4284 on CXCL5 mRNA. In vivo experiments were performed in 2 mouse models of experimental colitis.Results:A 24-microRNA signature was identified in colonic tissues derived from pediatric patients with UC. The most downregulated microRNA in the tissue of pediatric patients UC, relative to non-IBD controls, was miR-4284. In situ hybridization revealed that miR-4284 is present in colonic epithelial cells, and its levels correlate with the disease activity. Furthermore, we found that miR-4284 regulates CXCL5 mRNA expression through binding to its 3UTR. CXCL5 had increased mRNA levels in colonic tissue from pediatric patients with UC and correlated with disease activity. Furthermore, we found an inverse correlation between miR-4284 and CXCL5 levels in the colonic pediatric UC tissues and in 2 mouse models of experimental colitis.Conclusions:Our data reveal a novel microRNA pediatric UC signature and provide evidence that miR-4284 directly regulates CXCL5 and correlates with the disease activity.

Strong evidence implicates a strong genetic component including high monozygotic twin concordance and familial disease phenotype concordance rates. Genome-wide association studies have identified associations between >160 genetic loci and the risk for developing IBD. The roles of implicated genes are largely immune-mediated, although other functions include cellular migration, oxidative stress, and carbohydrate metabolism. Additionally, growing literature describes monogenic causes of IBD that frequently present as infantile or very early-onset IBD. The interplay between IBD risk single nucleotide polymorphisms and rare genetic variants has yet to be determined. Studying patients with very early-onset IBD may elicit genetic factors that could be applied to broader populations of IBD. This review describes what is known about the genetic causes of very early-onset IBD and genetic strategies that may unravel more of the genetic causes of IBD.

TI Response to Chemotherapy in Overweight/Obese Patients With Low-Risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER LA English DT Article DE Low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia; Overweight; obesity; Chemotherapy; Outcomes ID BODY-MASS INDEX; EPITHELIAL OVARIAN-CANCER; FOLINIC ACID; PRIMARY THERAPY; OBESITY; METHOTREXATE; DISEASE; MANAGEMENT; METAANALYSIS; CLASSIFICATION AB Objective Despite rising global obesity rates, the impact of obesity on gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) remains uninvestigated. This study aimed at investigating whether overweight/obesity relates to response to chemotherapy in low-risk GTN patients. Methods This nonconcurrent cohort study included 300 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics-defined postmolar low-risk GTN treated with a single-agent chemotherapymethotrexate or actinomycin-D (actD)between 1973 and 2012 at the New England Trophoblastic Disease Center. Chemotherapy dosing was based on actual body weight regardless of obesity status, except for 5-day courses or pulse regimens of actD. Patients were classified as overweight/obese (body mass index [BMI] 25 kg/m(2)) or non-overweight/obese (BMI <25 kg/m(2)). Information on patient characteristics and response to chemotherapy (need for second-line chemotherapy, reason for changing to an alternative chemotherapy, number of cycles, need for combination chemotherapy, and time to human chorionic gonadotropin remission) was obtained. Results Of 300 low-risk GTN patients, 81 (27%) were overweight/obese. Overweight/obese patients were older than the non-overweight/obese patients (median age: 30 vs 28 years, P = 0.004). First-line therapy using actD was more frequent in overweight/obese patients (6.2% vs 1.4%, P = 0.036). Resistance and toxicity were similar between groups. No significant difference in the number of chemotherapy cycles needed for remission or time required to achieve remission was found between groups. Conclusions No association between overweight/obesity and low-risk GTN outcomes was found. Current chemotherapy dosing using BMI seems to be appropriate for overweight/obese patients with low-risk GTN.

Despite major advances in the treatment of colon cancer, the prognosis remains very poor. Thus, novel and effective therapies for colon cancer are urgently needed. In the present study, the expression status of miR-218 and the role of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway were investigated in colon cancer samples. Firstly, we observed that miR-218 expression was significantly reduced, while PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway activity was enhanced. The overexpression of miR-218 suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of LoVo colon cancer cells, whereas the inhibition of miR-218 promoted these processes. Furthermore, the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway was identified as a direct target of miR-218. The upregulation of miR-218 inhibited the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, as well as the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)9. The downregulation of miR-218 activated the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and promoted MMP9 expression. Taken together, our results demonstrate that miR-218 suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of LoVo colon cancer cells by targeting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and MMP9. Our data indicate that miR-218 is a potential target in the treatment of colon cancer.

An extensive vascular network is needed for transport of nutrients, waste and progenitor cells required for remodelling and repair. A variety of tissue engineering strategies have been investigated in an attempt to vascularize tissues, including those applying cells, soluble factor delivery strategies, novel design and optimization of bio-active materials, vascular assembly pre-implantation and surgical techniques. However, many of these strategies face substantial barriers that must be overcome prior to their ultimate translation into clinical application. In this review recent progress in engineering vascularized bone will be presented with an emphasis on clinical feasibility.

Underlying features of exercise-induced cardiac remodeling often manifest as distinct patterns on the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Considerable effort has been directed toward defining the scope of ECG abnormalities in this population and numerous criteria have been proposed for the task of differentiating benign athletic ECG changes from patterns suggestive of underlying cardiovascular disease.

Complete right (RBBB) and left (LBBB) bundle branch block are relatively rare in asymptomatic athletic populations, and current expert consensus guidelines recommend further clinical investigation upon detection of either ECG pattern. However, present data suggest that typical RBBB is not associated with structural cardiac pathology and may alternatively represent an ECG marker of exercise-induced right ventricular remodeling. In accordance with current guidelines, the presence of asymptomatic LBBB in athletes is not associated with normal exercise physiology and more likely indicative of underlying cardiac pathology. While long-term outcomes for asymptomatic athletes with RBBB or LBBB remain unknown, current evidence regarding these ECG patterns should be considered to improve the specificity of future athlete-specific ECG interpretation guidelines.

This was a qualitative descriptive study using semistructured open-ended interview questions and content analysis. Seven family members or friends participated in this study. Four themes were identified. Results suggest that vigilance in the provision of nursing care for patients at the end of life provides family with a sense of being cared for and eases their feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. Support for family members and validation of difficult decision making is a vital component of communication, which is essential to increase family members' levels of comfort and trust in the health care team.

Methods: We used logistic regression to determine the associations of these pollutants with self-reported, doctor-diagnosed Parkinson's disease. Daily predicted pollutant concentrations were used to derive surrogates of long-term exposure and link them to study participants' geocoded addresses. Results: We observed positive associations of Parkinson's disease with ozone (odds ratio = 1.39; 95% CI: 0.98 to 1.98) and fine particulate matter (odds ratio = 1.34; 95% CI: 0.93 to 1.93) in North Carolina but not in Iowa. Conclusions: The plausibility of an effect of ambient concentrations of these pollutants on Parkinson's disease risk is supported by experimental data demonstrating damage to dopaminergic neurons at relevant concentrations. Additional studies are needed to address uncertainties related to confounding and to examine temporal aspects of the associations we observed. C1 [Kirrane, Ellen F.; Bowman, Christal; Davis, J.

But providers are often faced with complex decisions about obtaining collateral information, particularly when patients do not consent to communication with third parties for information gathering. Such situations require a thoughtful balance of best clinical practices, legal and ethical responsibilities, and patient safety concerns. This column offers an overview of the clinical utility of collateral information as well as the ethical and legal regulations concerning confidentiality that guide the process of obtaining collateral information. The risk-benefit analysis process related to obtaining collateral information without patient permission is illustrated. Recommendations about clinical consultation and documentation that facilitate optimal and ethical patient care are offered.

The most prominent examples of them are laser Doppler flowmetry, laser speckle contrast imaging, diffuse correlation spectroscopy, and the most recently developed diffuse speckle contrast analysis. In this paper, we claim that these four seemingly different modalities are examining different aspects of the same entity-the temporal autocorrelation function of scattered photons. We will show how the observables in each modality can be theoretically derived from the temporal autocorrelation function, and will discuss the merits and drawbacks of each modality in its practical use.

TI Ventilator gas delivery wave form substantially impacts plateau pressure and peak-to-plateau pressure gradient determination SO JOURNAL OF TRAUMA AND ACUTE CARE SURGERY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 73rd Annual Meeting of the American-Association-for-the-Surgery-of-Trauma / Clinical Congress of Acute Care Surgery CY SEP 09-13, 2014 CL Philadelphia, PA SP Amer Assoc Surg Trauma DE Mechanical ventilation; gas delivery wave forms; airway pressure; peak pressure; plateau pressure ID RESPIRATORY-DISTRESS-SYNDROME; CRITICAL-CARE MEDICINE; ACUTE LUNG INJURY; AIRWAY PRESSURE; RELEASE VENTILATION; VOLUME; TITRATION; STRAIN AB BACKGROUND: To determine whether plateau pressure (Pplat) measurement is lowered and peak airway pressure (Pawpeak)-to-Plat gradient is increased by measurement on a decelerating compared with square gas delivery wave form. METHODS: Prospective before and after study of mechanically ventilated injured and critically ill patients in an adult surgical intensive care unit. Pplat, Pawpeak, and Pawpeak-to-Pplat gradient were measured on decelerating and square gas delivery wave forms. RESULTS: Pplat and other routine ventilator parameters were measured in 82 (47 trauma, 35 emergency general surgery) consecutive convenience sampled adult intensive care unit patients on decelerating and then square gas delivery wave forms. Peak gas flow was fixed at 40 L/min; all other parameters (rate, tidal volume, positive end-expiratory pressure) were held constant. All patients were managed on assist control volume cycled ventilation using fentanyl and midazolam or propofol; no neuromuscular blockade was used. Patients with Pawpeak more than 35 cm H2O were excluded. Comparing decelerating with square gas delivery, mean Pawpeak was lower (25.1 perpendicular to 2.3 cm H2O vs. 33.1 perpendicular to 2.1 cm H2O; p < 0.0001) and mean Pplat was lower (21.3 perpendicular to 1.9 cm H2O vs. 24.8 + 2.5 cm H2O; p < 0.0001), resulting in a decreased Pawpeak-to-Pplat gradient (3.8 + 2.1 vs. 8.3 + 2.3; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Changing from a decelerating to a square gas delivery wave form significantly increases Pplat and Pawpeak, thereby increasing the Pawpeak-to-Pplat gradient. This increase may prompt unwarranted therapy aimed at reducing the gradient to its normal value of 4 cm H2O pressure or less. Conversely, patients with a high Pawpeak on a square wave form may benefit from transitioning to a decelerating wave form before changing ventilation parameters.

They speculate that such accreditation would raise the status of WH fellowships, increase the number of applicants, and result in more academic leaders in WH. They assert that curricular deficiencies in WH exist in physician training and that WH fellowships are the preferred means of training physicians to care for midlife women. We review the evidence to support or refute these claims and conclude that accrediting WH fellowships would not have the forecasted outcomes and would jeopardize the success of current WH fellowships.

TI Genome-wide association study of kidney function decline in individuals of European descent SO KIDNEY INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE chronic kidney disease; genome-wide association study; kidney function decline; kidney development; population genetics; single nucleotide polymorphism; zebrafish ID GLOMERULAR-FILTRATION-RATE; STAGE RENAL-DISEASE; SYNDROME TYPE 1D; HYPERTENSIVE NEPHROSCLEROSIS; DIABETIC-NEPHROPATHY; DEAFNESS DFNB12; MORTALITY RISK; MOUSE MODEL; GENE; PROGRESSION AB Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified multiple loci associated with cross-sectional eGFR, but a systematic genetic analysis of kidney function decline over time is missing. Here we conducted a GWAS meta-analysis among 63,558 participants of European descent, initially from 16 cohorts with serial kidney function measurements within the CKDGen Consortium, followed by independent replication among additional participants from 13 cohorts. In stage 1 GWAS meta-analysis, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at MEOX2, GALNT11, IL1RAP, NPPA, HPCAL1, and CDH23 showed the strongest associations for at least one trait, in addition to the known UMOD locus, which showed genome-wide significance with an annual change in eGFR. In stage 2 meta-analysis, the significant association at UMOD was replicated. Associations at GALNT11 with Rapid Decline (annual eGFR decline of 3 ml/min per 1.73m(2) or more), and CDH23 with eGFR change among those with CKD showed significant suggestive evidence of replication. Combined stage 1 and 2 meta-analyses showed significance for UMOD, GALNT11, and CDH23. Morpholino knockdowns of galnt11 and cdh23 in zebrafish embryos each had signs of severe edema 72 h after gentamicin treatment compared with controls, but no gross morphological renal abnormalities before gentamicin administration. Thus, our results suggest a role in the deterioration of kidney function for the loci GALNT11 and CDH23, and show that the UMOD locus is significantly associated with kidney function decline.

TI Ombrabulin plus cisplatin versus placebo plus cisplatin in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcomas after failure of anthracycline and ifosfamide chemotherapy: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial SO LANCET ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article ID COMBRETASTATIN A4 PHOSPHATE; VASCULAR-DISRUPTING AGENTS; BLOOD-FLOW STASIS; TUMOR; BEVACIZUMAB; COMBINATION; DOXORUBICIN; SORAFENIB; ANGIOSARCOMA; MULTICENTER AB Background Ombrabulin (AVE8062) disrupts the vasculature of established tumours and has shown preclinical synergistic anti-tumour activity when combined with cisplatin. In this phase 3 trial, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ombrabulin plus cisplatin compared with placebo plus cisplatin in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcomas. Methods We did this multinational, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study at 44 centres in ten countries. Patients aged 18 years and older with metastatic soft-tissue sarcomas, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, and who had previously received treatment with anthracycline and ifosfamide were randomly assigned (1:1) to intravenous infusion of ombrabulin 25 mg/m(2) plus cisplatin 75 mg/m(2) or intravenous infusion of placebo plus cisplatin 75 mg/m(2) every 3 weeks. Patients were allocated to treatment using a permuted blocks randomisation scheme (block size of four) via an interactive voice-response system, and stratified by histological subtype. Patients, medical staff, study investigators, and individuals who handled and analysed the data were masked to treatment assignment. Our primary endpoint was median progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population. Safety analyses were done on all randomised patients who received at least one dose of study drug. This trial is now closed, and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00699517. Findings Between June 13, 2008, and April 26, 2012, we randomly assigned 355 patients to ombrabulin plus cisplatin (n=176) or placebo plus cisplatin (n=179). Median duration of follow-up was 27.9 (IQR 20.9-33.2) in the placebo group and 30.5 months (20.7-37.6) in the ombrabulin group. Progression-free survival was slightly, but significantly, improved in the ombrabulin group compared with the placebo group (median 1.54 months [95% CI 1.45-2.69] vs 1.41 [1.38-1.58] months; hazard ratio 0.76 [95% CI 0.59-0.98]; p=0.0302). Grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred more frequently in individuals in the ombrabulin group than in those in the placebo group and included neutropenia (34 [19%] in the ombrabulin group vs 14 [8%] in the placebo group) and thrombocytopenia (15 [8%] vs six [3%] for placebo). Adverse events leading to death occurred in 18 patients in the ombrabulin group and 10 patients in the placebo group. Interpretation The combination of ombrabulin and cisplatin significantly improved progression-free survival; however, it did not show a sufficient clinical benefit in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcomas to support its use as a therapeutic option. Predictive biomarkers are needed for the rational clinical development of tumour vasculardisrupting drugs for soft-tissue sarcomas.

TI Nilotinib versus imatinib as first-line therapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumours (ENESTg1): a randomised phase 3 trial SO LANCET ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article ID TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITORS; PROGRESSION-FREE SURVIVAL; DOSE IMATINIB; RESISTANT; MESYLATE; GIST; KIT; METAANALYSIS; SUNITINIB AB Background Nilotinib inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of ABL1/BCR-ABL1 and KIT, platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs), and the discoidin domain receptor. Gain-of-function mutations in KIT or PDGFR alpha are key drivers in most gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs). This trial was designed to test the efficacy and safety of nilotinib versus imatinib as first-line therapy for patients with advanced GISTs. Methods In this randomised, open-label, multicentre, phase 3 trial (ENESTg1), participants from academic centres were aged 18 years or older and had previously untreated, histologically confirmed, metastatic or unresectable GISTs. Patients were stratified by previous adjuvant therapy and randomly assigned (1: 1) via a randomisation list to receive oral imatinib 400 mg once daily or oral nilotinib 400 mg twice daily. The primary endpoint was centrally reviewed progression-free survival. Efficacy endpoints were assessed by intention-to-treat. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00785785. Findings Because the futility boundary was crossed at a preplanned interim analysis, trial accrual terminated in April, 2011. Between March 16, 2009, and April 21, 2011, 647 patients were enrolled; of whom 324 were allocated nilotinib and 320 were allocated imatinib. At final analysis of the core study (data cutoff, October, 2012), 2-year progression-free survival was higher in the imatinib group (59.2% [95% CI 50.9-66.5]) than in the nilotinib group (51.6% [43.0-59.5]; hazard ratio 1.47 [95% CI 1.10-1.95]). In the imatinib group, the most common grade 3-4 adverse events were hypophosphataemia (19 [6%]), anaemia (17 [5%]), abdominal pain (13; 4%), and elevated lipase level (15; 5%), and in the nilotinib group were anaemia (18; 6%), elevated lipase level (15; 5%), elevated alanine aminotransferase concentration (12; 4%), and abdominal pain (11; 3%). The most common serious adverse event in both groups was abdominal pain (11 [4%] in the imatinib group, 14 [4%] in the nilotinib group). Interpretation Nilotinib cannot be recommended for broad use to treat first-line GIST. However, future studies might identify patient subsets for whom first-line nilotinib could be of clinical benefit. C1 [Blay, Jean-Yves] Univ Lyon 1, Ctr Leon Berard, F-69365 Lyon, France.

Afatinib, an irreversible ERBB family blocker, has shown efficacy in a phase 2 study in this setting. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of afatinib compared with methotrexate as second-line treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC progressing on or after platinum-based therapy. Methods In this open-label, phase 3, randomised controlled trial conducted in 101 centres in 19 countries, we enrolled patients aged 18 years or older with histologically or cytologically confirmed HNSCC that was recurrent, metastatic, or both who had progressed on or after first-line platinum-based therapy, were not amenable for salvage surgery or radiotherapy, and who had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. Previous treatment with more than one systemic regimen in this setting was not allowed; previous treatment with EGFR-targeted antibody therapy (but not EGFR-targeted tyrosine-kinase inhibitors) was allowed. We randomly assigned eligible patients in a 2: 1 ratio to receive oral afatinib (40 mg/day) or intravenous methotrexate (40 mg/m(2) per week), stratified by ECOG performance status and previous EGFR-targeted antibody therapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. Randomisation was done centrally with an interactive voice or web-based response system. Clinicians and patients were not masked to treatment allocation; independent review of tumour response was done in a blinded manner. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival as assessed by an independent, central imaging review committee. Efficacy analyses were done in the intention-to-treat population and safety analyses were done in patients who received at least one dose of study drug. This ongoing study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01345682. Findings Between Jan 10, 2012, and Dec 12, 2013, we enrolled 483 patients and randomly assigned 322 to afatinib and 161 to methotrexate. After a median follow-up of 6.7 months (IQR 3.1-9.0), progression-free survival was longer in the afatinib group than in the methotrexate group (median 2.6 months [95% CI 2.0-2.7] for the afatinib group vs 1.7 months [1.5-2.4] for the methotrexate group; hazard ratio [HR] 0.80 [95% CI 0.65-0.98], p=0.030). The most frequent grade 3 or 4 drug-related adverse events were rash or acne (31 [10%] of 320 patients in the afatinib group vs none of 160 patients in the methotrexate group), diarrhoea (30 [9%] vs three [2%]), stomatitis (20 [6%] vs 13 [8%]), fatigue (18 [6%] vs five [3%]), and neutropenia (1 [<1%] vs 11 [7%]); serious adverse events occurred in 44 (14%) of afatinib-treated patients and 18 (11%) of methotrexate-treated patients. Interpretation Afatinib was associated with significant improvements in progression-free survival and had a manageable safety profile. These findings provide important new insights into the treatment of this patient population and support further investigations with irreversible ERBB family blockers in HNSCC.

These patients have a 20-year shorter lifespan than peers without schizophrenia, mainly due to premature cardiovascular disease, suicide, and cancer. Patients with severe mental illness are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease related to increased incidence of diabetes, hypertension, smoking, poor diet, obesity, dyslipidaemia, metabolic syndrome, low physical activity, and side-effects of antipsychotic drugs. Some second-generation antipsychotics (eg, clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone) are associated with an increased risk of weight gain and obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and new-onset diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms by which schizophrenia and patients with severe mental illness are susceptible to cardiometabolic disorders are complex and include lifestyle risks and direct and indirect effects of antipsychotic drugs. An understanding of these risks might lead to effective interventions for prevention and treatment of cardiometabolic disorders in schizophrenia and severe mental illness.

Low-quality medical care for diabetes is a significant contributor to these poor health outcomes. A thoughtful approach to both diabetes pharmacotherapy and drug management for psychotic disorders is essential, irrespective of whether treatment is given by a psychiatrist, a primary care provider, or an endocrinologist. Exposure to drugs with high metabolic liability should be minimised, and both psychiatric providers and medical providers need to monitor patients to ensure that medical care for diabetes is adequate. Promising models of care management and team approaches to coordination and integration of care highlight the crucial need for communication and cooperation among medical and psychiatric providers to improve outcomes in these patients. Evidence-based programmes that promote weight loss or smoking cessation need to be more accessible for these patients, and should be available in all the settings where they access care.

The Euroqol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire is a widely used method for determining HUV, but it has not been applied for this purpose in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who undergo sinus surgery. Study DesignProspective cohort study. MethodsPatients with CRS, who were recruited from 11 different otolaryngologic practices, completed the EQ-5D questionnaire at baseline, as well as 3, 12, and 24 months after surgery. HUVs calculated from the results of this questionnaire were compared to those reported in the general U.S. population and to patients suffering from other chronic diseases. ResultsBaseline EQ-5D surveys were completed by 242 patients. Mean baseline HUV (standard deviation) was 0.81 (0.13). Female gender, revision surgery, and the use of intraoperative image guidance were associated was significantly lower baseline values. HUV rose at 3 months to 0.89 (0.12) and remained improved at 12 months 0.88 (0.10) and 24 months 0.89 (0.10) (P<0.001). Baseline HUV in CRS (0.81[0.13]) is lower than the general U.S. population (0.85 [0.18]) and appears appropriately positioned among other common chronic conditions including asthma (0.82-0.92), migraine (0.81-0.91), and seasonal allergies (0.94). ConclusionsSinus surgery provides improvement in HUV in patients with CRS. These values may be paired with costs of care to perform cost-utility analysis on this group of patients.

Study DesignRetrospective cohort study. MethodsAll 504 free flap surgical cases (484 patients) performed April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2013 were reviewed; SSIs occurring 30 days postoperatively were evaluated. Admission screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization was performed on all patients. ResultsFlap-recipient site infections (flap SSIs) occurred in 67 cases (13.3%), one-third week 1 postoperatively, one-third week 2, one-third days 15 to 30; 45% occurred after hospital discharge. Wound cultures were polymicrobial, but 25% grew only normal oral flora, whereas 75% grew pathogens not part of normal oral flora, such as gram-negative bacilli (44% of cases), MRSA (20%), and methicillin-sensitive S aureus (MSSA) (16%). The frequency of these pathogens did not vary significantly by the time of SSI onset. In 67%, cultures included at least one pathogen resistant to the prophylactic antibiotic used. Clindamycin prophylaxis was a significant risk factor for flap SSI and for early partial or complete flap loss from infection. Donor SSIs occurred in 22 cases (4.4%), 95% >1 week postoperatively, and MRSA or MSSA were the primary pathogens in 89%. Of the 25 patients colonized with MRSA on admission, 40% developed a flap or donor SSI, a rate significantly higher than in non-colonized patients. ConclusionsGram-negative bacilli, MRSA, and MSSA were significant SSI pathogens, and late onset of infection was common. Better screening, decolonization, and prophylaxis may reduce SSI rates.

Qualitative and descriptive analyses of studies and outcomes data were performed. ResultsOne-hundred three articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of the identified articles, 38 provided outcomes data. The majority of these studies were moderate quality, retrospective, case-series reports. The indications for use of the endoscope were broad, with the most common being resection of cholesteatoma. In cholesteatoma surgery, endoscope approaches routinely identified residual cholesteatoma in primary and second-look cases. Other outcomes, including robust audiometric data, operating room times, wound healing, and quality of life surveys were not well described. ConclusionsEndoscopes have consistently been used as an adjunct to the microscope to improve visualization of the tympanic cavity. Recent reports utilize the endoscope exclusively during surgical dissection; however, data comparing patient outcomes following the use of an endoscope to a microscope are lacking. Areas in need of additional research are highlighted.

TI Doctors and Numbers: An Assessment of the Critical Risk Interpretation Test SO MEDICAL DECISION MAKING LA English DT Article DE medical decision making; risk perception; risk communication; numeracy ID MEDICAL DECISION-MAKING; NUMERACY SCALE; COMMUNICATION; COMPREHENSION; INFORMATION; STATISTICS; BENEFIT; SKILLS; CARE AB Background. Risk interpretation affects decision making. Yet, there is no valid assessment of how clinicians interpret the risk data that they commonly encounter. Objective. To establish the reliability and validity of a 20-item test of clinicians' risk interpretation. Methods. The Critical Risk Interpretation Test (CRIT) measures clinicians' abilities to 1) modify the interpretation based on meaningful differences in the outcome (e.g., disease specific v. all-cause mortality) and time period (e.g., lifetime v. 10-year mortality), 2) maintain a stable interpretation for different risk framings (e.g., relative v. absolute risk), and 3) correctly interpret how diagnostic testing modifies risk. There were 658 clinicians and medical trainees who participated: 116 nurse practitioners (NPs) at a national conference, 273 medical students at 1 institution, 148 residents in internal medicine at 2 institutions, and 121 internists at 1 institution. Participants completed a self-administered paper test during educational conferences. Seventeen evidence-based medicine experts took the test online and formally assessed content validity. Eighteen second-year medical students were recruited to take the test and a retest 3 weeks later to explore test-retest correlation. Results. Expert review supported test clarity and content validity. Factor analysis supported that the CRIT identifies at least 3 separable areas of clinician knowledge. Test-retest correlation was fair (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.65; standard error = 0.15). Scores on our test correlated with other tests of related abilities. Mean test scores varied among groups, with differences in prior evidence-based medicine training and experience (93 for NPs, 101 for medical students, 101 for residents, 103 for academic internists, and 110 for physician experts; P < 0.001). Conclusions. Our results provide supporting evidence for the reliability and validity of the CRIT as an index of critical risk interpretation abilities, which is acceptable and feasible to administer in an educational setting.

Methods and results: C57BL6 wild-type and fat-1 transgenic (fat-1) mice were fed a low-fat diet (LFD) or HFD, treated or not with PPAR gamma antagonist, and evaluated for energy balance, adiposity, glucose tolerance, and adipose tissue inflammation. Fat-1 mice were protected from obesity, fasting hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, and adipose tissue inflammation. PPAR gamma inhibition completely abolished fat-1 protection against HFD-induced glucose intolerance, but not obesity or adipose tissue inflammation. To investigate the role of myeloid cell as mediator of n-3 beneficialmetabolic actions, mice with deletion (LyzM-PPAR gamma(KO)) or nondeletion (LyzM-PPAR gamma(WT)) of PPAR gamma in myeloid cells were fed either LFD or HFD (lard) or an HFD rich in n-3 (fish oil). Our findings indicate that myeloid cell associated PPAR gamma is not involved in the attenuation of HFD-induced glucose intolerance and adipose tissue inflammation induced by n-3. Conclusion: High endogenous n-3 fatty acid levels protect from HFD obesity, glucose intolerance, and adipose tissue inflammation. Among these, only protection against glucose intolerance is mediated by non-myeloid cell PPAR gamma.

TI Dysregulation of miR-34a links neuronal development to genetic risk factors for bipolar disorder SO MOLECULAR PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article ID SCHIZOPHRENIA-RELATED MICRODELETION; GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; PREFRONTAL CORTEX; EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION; ANNOTATION DATABASE; MICRORNA BIOGENESIS; TARGET PREDICTION; MOUSE MODEL; EXPRESSION; BRAIN AB Bipolar disorder (BD) is a heritable neuropsychiatric disorder with largely unknown pathogenesis. Given their prominent role in brain function and disease, we hypothesized that microRNAs (miRNAs) might be of importance for BD. Here we show that levels of miR-34a, which is predicted to target multiple genes implicated as genetic risk factors for BD, are increased in postmortem cerebellar tissue from BD patients, as well as in BD patient-derived neuronal cultures generated by reprogramming of human fibroblasts into induced neurons or into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) subsequently differentiated into neurons. Of the predicted miR-34a targets, we validated the BD risk genes ankyrin-3 (ANK3) and voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit beta-3 (CACNB3) as direct miR-34a targets. Using human iPSC-derived neuronal progenitor cells, we further show that enhancement of miR-34a expression impairs neuronal differentiation, expression of synaptic proteins and neuronal morphology, whereas reducing endogenous miR-34a expression enhances dendritic elaboration. Taken together, we propose that miR-34a serves as a critical link between multiple etiological factors for BD and its pathogenesis through the regulation of a molecular network essential for neuronal development and synaptogenesis.

CA Coffee & Caffeine Genetics Consort Int Parkinson's Dis Genomics Conso North Amer Brain Expression Consor UK Brain Expression Consortium TI Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies six novel loci associated with habitual coffee consumption SO MOLECULAR PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article ID CAFFEINE; PROTEIN; VARIANTS; RECEPTOR; BRAIN; GLUCOKINASE; INVOLVEMENT; BINDING; BDNF AB Coffee, a major dietary source of caffeine, is among the most widely consumed beverages in the world and has received considerable attention regarding health risks and benefits. We conducted a genome-wide (GW) meta-analysis of predominately regular-type coffee consumption (cups per day) among up to 91 462 coffee consumers of European ancestry with top single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) followed-up in similar to 30 062 and 7964 coffee consumers of European and African-American ancestry, respectively. Studies from both stages were combined in a trans-ethnic meta-analysis. Confirmed loci were examined for putative functional and biological relevance. Eight loci, including six novel loci, met GW significance (log(10)Bayes factor (BF) > 5.64) with per-allele effect sizes of 0.03-0.14 cups per day. Six are located in or near genes potentially involved in pharmacokinetics (ABCG2, AHR, POR and CYP1A2) and pharmacodynamics (BDNF and SLC6A4) of caffeine. Two map to GCKR and MLXIPL genes related to metabolic traits but lacking known roles in coffee consumption. Enhancer and promoter histone marks populate the regions of many confirmed loci and several potential regulatory SNPs are highly correlated with the lead SNP of each. SNP alleles near GCKR, MLXIPL, BDNF and CYP1A2 that were associated with higher coffee consumption have previously been associated with smoking initiation, higher adiposity and fasting insulin and glucose but lower blood pressure and favorable lipid, inflammatory and liver enzyme profiles (P < 5x10(-8)). Our genetic findings among European and African-American adults reinforce the role of caffeine in mediating habitual coffee consumption and may point to molecular mechanisms underlying inter-individual variability in pharmacological and health effects of coffee.

TI Adenoassociated Virus Serotype 9-Mediated Gene Therapy for X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy SO MOLECULAR THERAPY LA English DT Article ID CHAIN FATTY-ACIDS; CENTRAL-NERVOUS-SYSTEM; PHASE-I TRIAL; NONHUMAN-PRIMATES; SPINAL-CORD; PARKINSONS-DISEASE; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; AAV9 DELIVERY; OPEN-LABEL; VECTOR AB X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a devastating neurological disorder caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene that encodes a peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCD1) responsible for transport of CoA-activated very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) into the peroxisome for degradation. We used recombinant adenoassociated virus serotype 9 (rAAV9) vector for delivery of the human ABCD1 gene (ABCD1) to mouse central nervous system (CNS). In vitro, efficient delivery of ABCD1 gene was achieved in primary mixed brain glial cells from Abcd1(-/-) mice as well as X-ALD patient fibroblasts. Importantly, human ABCD1 localized to the peroxisome, and AAV-ABCD1 transduction showed a dose-dependent effect in reducing VLCFA. In vivo, AAV9-ABCD1 was delivered to Abcd1(-/-) mouse CNS by either stereotactic intracerebroventricular (ICV) or intravenous (IV) injections. Astrocytes, microglia and neurons were the major target cell types following ICV injection, while IV injection also delivered to microvascular endothelial cells and oligodendrocytes. IV injection also yielded high transduction of the adrenal gland. Importantly, IV injection of AAV9-ABCD1 reduced VLCFA in mouse brain and spinal cord. We conclude that AAV9-mediated ABCD1 gene transfer is able to reach target cells in the nervous system and adrenal gland as well as reduce VLCFA in culture and a mouse model of X-ALD.

ESC differentiation is accompanied by large-scale histone and DNA modifications, but the relations between these epigenetic categories are not understood. Here we demonstrate the interplay between the histone deacetylase sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) and the ten-eleven translocation enzymes (TETs). SIRT6 targets acetylated histone H3 at Lys 9 and 56 (H3K9ac and H3K56ac), while TETs convert 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). ESCs derived from Sirt6 knockout (S6KO) mice are skewed towards neuroectoderm development. This phenotype involves derepression of OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG, which causes an upregulation of TET-dependent production of 5hmC. Genome-wide analysis revealed neural genes marked with 5hmC in S6KO ESCs, thereby implicating TET enzymes in the neuroectoderm-skewed differentiation phenotype. We demonstrate that SIRT6 functions as a chromatin regulator safeguarding the balance between pluripotency and differentiation through Tet-mediated production of 5hmC.

Here we inactivated all three catalytically active DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to further investigate the roles and genomic targets of these enzymes. Disruption of DNMT3A or DNMT3B individually as well as of both enzymes in tandem results in viable, pluripotent cell lines with distinct effects on the DNA methylation landscape, as assessed by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Surprisingly, in contrast to findings in mouse, deletion of DNMT1 resulted in rapid cell death in human ESCs. To overcome this immediate lethality, we generated a doxycycline-responsive tTA-DNMT1* rescue line and readily obtained homozygous DNMT1-mutant lines. However, doxycycline-mediated repression of exogenous DNMT1* initiates rapid, global loss of DNA methylation, followed by extensive cell death. Our data provide a comprehensive characterization of DNMT-mutant ESCs, including single-base genome-wide maps of the targets of these enzymes.

Although photoactivatable proteins have emerged as a powerful tool for controlling molecular interactions and signalling cascades at precise times and spaces using light, many of these light-sensitive proteins are activated by ultraviolent or visible light, which has limited tissue penetration. Here, we report a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-assisted approach that enables near-infrared light-triggered activation of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signal transduction, an important signalling pathway in embryonic development and cancer progression. The protein complex of TGF-beta and its latency-associated peptide is conjugated onto SWCNTs, where TGF-beta is inactive. Upon nearinfrared irradiation, TGF-beta is released through the photothermal effect of SWCNTs and becomes active. The released TGF-beta activates downstream signal transduction in live cells and modulates cellular behaviours. Furthermore, preliminary studies show that the method can be used to mediate TGF-beta signalling in living mice.

TI Oxytocin Reduces Caloric Intake in Men SO OBESITY LA English DT Article ID FOOD-INTAKE; DEFICIENT MICE; GENE-EXPRESSION; COLD-EXPOSURE; OBESITY; RATS; NEURONS; RECEPTOR; NUCLEUS; BRAIN AB ObjectivePreclinical studies indicate that oxytocin is anorexigenic and has beneficial metabolic effects. Oxytocin effects on nutrition and metabolism in humans are not well defined. It was hypothesized that oxytocin would reduce caloric intake and appetite and alter levels of appetite-regulating hormones. Metabolic effects of oxytocin were also explored. MethodsA randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study of single-dose intranasal oxytocin (24 IU) in 25 fasting healthy men was performed. After oxytocin/placebo, subjects selected breakfast from a menu and were given double portions. Caloric content of food consumed was measured. Visual analog scales were used to assess appetite, and blood was drawn for appetite-regulating hormones, insulin, and glucose before and after oxytocin/placebo. Indirect calorimetry assessed resting energy expenditure (REE) and substrate utilization. ResultsOxytocin reduced caloric intake with a preferential effect on fat intake and increased levels of the anorexigenic hormone cholecystokinin without affecting appetite or other appetite-regulating hormones. There was no effect of oxytocin on REE. Oxytocin resulted in a shift from carbohydrate to fat utilization and improved insulin sensitivity. ConclusionsIntranasal oxytocin reduces caloric intake and has beneficial metabolic effects in men without concerning side effects. The efficacy and safety of sustained oxytocin administration in the treatment of obesity warrants investigation.

Design: A secondary analysis was conducted on interview data gathered during a large mixed-methods study that focused on perceived maternal caregiver competency and survivor health-related quality of life. Setting: Home interviews. Sample: A purposive sample of 46 maternal caregivers was selected from participants in the larger study. Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with mothers. A directed content analysis was informed by Sullivan-Bolyai's framework describing the components of primary caregiving. Main Research Variables: Caregiving demands. Findings: Data regarding four main categories of maternal daily caregiving demands were identified from 25 of the 46 interviews: managing the illness; identifying, accessing, and coordinating resources; assisting with everyday responsibilities; and fostering psychosocial health. Conclusions: Potential day-to-day management tasks or demands of mothers of adolescent and young adult survivors of pediatric brain tumors were identified. Implications for Nursing: The major demands of caregiving are similar to those for children with other chronic conditions, with the addition of assisting with everyday responsibilities and fostering psychosocial health.

Fay, Aaron TI Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome with Isolated Unilateral Eyelid Edema: An Immunopathologic Study SO OPHTHALMIC PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY LA English DT Article ID ANGIOEDEMA; ROSACEA; DISEASE AB Lymphedema is caused by defective drainage of the lymphatic system. In Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, involvement is predominantly of the lumens with blockage of lymphatic channels by histiocytic-epithelioid cell clusters accompanied by dermal granulomas and lymphocytes. It is a localized, painless, nonitching, and nonpitting form of lymphedema. Besides the eyelids, the disease can cause lip edema, facial palsy, and/or fissured tongue. It is rare and has received little attention in the ophthalmic literature, either in its complete triadic form, or more frequently, in its monosymptomatic forms. Pathogenesis is not well understood, and there is no effective therapy. The authors describe a case of Melkesson-Rosenthal syndrome in a 45-year-old Hispanic man with isolated unilateral upper eyelid edema. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluations of an eyelid biopsy specimen revealed intravascular and extravascular clusters of histiocytic-epithelioid cells that were CD68/163-positive. Variable numbers of mostly T-lymphocytes were found in the epidermis, dermis, and orbicularis muscle and by virtue of the associated granulomas established the diagnosis of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. CD4 helper and CD8 suppressor T-lymphocytes were equally represented. CD20 B-lymphocytes were exceedingly sparse. Conspicuous CD1a-positive Langerhans' cells were present in the epidermis, sometimes formed subepithelial loose aggregates and were also incorporated in the granulomas. The differential diagnosis includes the far more common condition of acne rosacea. Management of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, and of angioedema in general, is reviewed.

TI Single input state, single-mode fiber-based polarization-sensitive optical frequency domain imaging by eigenpolarization referencing SO OPTICS LETTERS LA English DT Article ID LOW-COHERENCE REFLECTOMETER; TOMOGRAPHY; BIREFRINGENCE; COMPONENTS; PHASE AB Fiber-based polarization-sensitive optical frequency domain imaging is more challenging than free-space implementations. Using multiple input states, fiber-based systems provide sample birefringence information with the benefit of a flexible sample arm but come at the cost of increased system and acquisition complexity, and either reduce acquisition speed or require increased acquisition bandwidth. Here we show that with the calibration of a single polarization state, fiber-based configurations can approach the conceptual simplicity of traditional free-space configurations. We remotely control the polarization state of the light incident at the sample using the eigen-polarization states of a wave plate as a reference, and determine the Jones matrix of the output fiber. We demonstrate this method for polarization-sensitive imaging of biological samples.

Study design Retrospective case series. Setting Veterans Affairs medical center. Subjects and Methods Patients treated with CRT or RT for HNSCC between February 2006 and November 2013 were studied. Those enrolled in the SPP participated in swallowing, jaw, and tongue exercises during cancer therapy. The comparator group received no swallowing intervention during CRT. A previously described functional outcome swallowing scale (FOSS; 0 = no symptoms and 5 = nonoral feeding for all nutrition) was used to quantify dysphagia prior to and at the completion of cancer therapy, and an analysis was performed to compare swallowing function. Results Forty-one (all male; mean age, 66 years) and 66 patients (all male; mean age, 61 years) were included in the SPP and comparator groups, respectively. In the SPP group, mean pre- and posttreatment FOSS scores were 2.2 and 2.2, respectively, while the corresponding scores in the comparator group were 1.8 and 2.7, respectively, with posttreatment FOSS scores being significantly worse than pretreatment FOSS scores in the comparator group only. Conclusion Patients enrolled in the SPP demonstrated preserved swallowing function over the course of cancer treatment compared with a comparator group. This confirms the importance of early evaluation and intervention for dysphagia prior to and during CRT or RT alone.

MethodsAt CRT-D implant, patients were stratified based on detectable TnT (0.01 ng/mL) and elevated BNP (predefined as >440 pg/mL) levels. Patients were classified into three groups: high (both detectable TnT and high BNP), intermediate (either detectable TnT or high BNP), or low (nondetectable TnT and low BNP). Patients were followed for 12 months. Survival curves free from mortality or heart failure hospitalizations (HFH) were assessed. To assess the predictive value of biomarker category, we constructed a multivariate Cox regression model, including the covariates of age, New York Heart Association class, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and QRS duration. ResultsA total of 267 patients (age 66 12 years, males 80%, LVEF 25% +/- 8%, ischemic cardiomyopathy 52%, QRSd 155 +/- 26 ms) were studied. After 1 year, there were 13 deaths and 25 HFH events. A significant difference in event-free survival among the three groups was observed, with high and intermediate categories having worse survival than low (log-rank test, P < 0.001). In the multivariate model, risk category was a significant predictor of outcome: hazard ratios were 7.34 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.48-21.69) and 2.50 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-6.04) for high-risk and intermediate-risk groups, respectively (P < 0.0001). ConclusionAmong CRT-D recipients, baseline TnT and BNP values alone or in combination provide significant prognostic value for the outcome of mortality or HFH.

The strategic localization Of TMPRSS2, a membrane-bound serine protease, on the cancer cell surface may allow it to mediate signal-transduction between the cancer cell and its extracellular environment. We show that TMPRSS2 expression is not only dramatically increased in the primary cancers of patients but TMPRSS2 immunopositivity is also directly correlated with cancer pain severity in these patients. TMPRSS2 induced proteolytic activity, activated trigeminal neurons, and produced marked, mechanical hyperalgesia when administered into the hind paw of wild-type mice but not PAR2-deficient mice. Coculture of human cancer cells with murine trigeminal neurons demonstrated colocalization of TMPRSS2 with PAR2. These results point to a novel role for a cell membrane anchored mediator in cancer pain, as well as pain in general.

TI Patterns and predictors of antidepressant use in ambulatory cancer patients with common solid tumors SO PSYCHO-ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS; PSYCHOSOCIAL CARE; PALLIATIVE CARE; SCREENING TOOLS; METAANALYSIS; DISTRESS; ADULTS; ONCOLOGISTS; RECOGNITION; PREVALENCE AB Purpose: Depressive symptoms and antidepressant use are prevalent among cancer patients. We sought to identify determinants of prescribing commonly used antidepressants. Patients and methods: This multi-institutional study enrolled 3106 ambulatory patients with cancer of the breast, prostate, colon/rectum, or lung. Five case-finding methods were used to identify patients with depressive symptoms. Logistic models were used to examine factors that impact antidepressant use. Results: Approximately, 47% of patients were defined as having depressive symptoms. Clinicians rated being sad/depressed as one of the top three priority problems for 10.5% of patients. Antidepressants were prescribed in 19% of all patients, 25% with depressive symptoms and 14% nondepressed patients. After adjusting for other covariates, these variable categories were significantly associated with greater use of antidepressants: depressive symptoms, family history of depression, concurrent-medication use, cancer treatment status, and certain other clinical and demographic variables. The strongest individual predictors were concurrent use of more than 10 medications (odds ratio [OR] = 3.3), a family history of depression (OR= 2.2), sedative use (OR= 2.1), non-Hispanic white race (OR= 2.0), and anxiolytics use (OR= 2.0). Conclusions: Depressive symptoms are found in nearly half of outpatients with cancer, and one-fourth of patients with depressive symptoms are taking an antidepressant. Patients receiving antidepressants are more often those taking multiple medications, those with a depression diathesis, and those with more extensive cancer treatment. Patients who were younger, white, and female were also more likely to be taking antidepressants. Copyright (C) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The goal of this study was to determine the association between financial hardship and intensive care in the last week of life. Methods: The Coping with Cancer (CwC) Study is a longitudinal, multisite cohort study of terminally ill cancer patients and their informal caregivers, September 2002-February 2008. Patients (N = 281) were followed from baseline to death, a median of 4.4 months after baseline assessment. Intensive care was defined as the use of resuscitation and/or ventilation in the patient's last week of life. Financial hardship was measured at study baseline as a positive response to whether the household had to use all or most of their savings because of the family member's illness. Results: Twenty-nine percent reported financial hardship, and 9% received intensive EOL care. Patients reporting financial hardship had a 3.22 (95% CI: 1.38, 7.53) higher likelihood of receiving intensive EOL care compared with patients not reporting financial hardship. After adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and patient preferences, patients reporting financial hardship had a 3.05 (95% CI: 1.22, 7.62) higher likelihood of receiving intensive EOL care. Conclusion: The depletion of a family's financial resources is a significant predictor of intensive EOL care, over and above the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and patient preferences.

Food insecurity may be a modifiable and independent risk factor for worse control of medical conditions, but it has not been explored among veterans. We determined the prevalence of, and factors independently associated with, food insecurity among veterans in the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS). Methods. Using data from VACS from 2002-2008, we determined the prevalence of food insecurity among veterans who have accessed health care in the Veterans Health Administration (VA) as defined by "concern about having enough food for you or your family in the past month." We used multivariable logistic regression to determine factors independently associated with food insecurity and tests of trend to measure the association between food insecurity and control of hypertension, diabetes, HIV, and depression. Results. Of the 6,709 veterans enrolled in VACS, 1,624 (24%) reported being food insecure. Food insecurity was independently associated with being African American, earning <$25,000/year, recent homelessness, marijuana use, and depression. Being food insecure was also associated with worse control of hypertension, diabetes, HIV and depression (p<0.001). Conclusion. Food insecurity is prevalent and associated with worse control of medical conditions among veterans who have accessed care in the VA.

Method: The participants (n = 51, women 98%, age 52.8 +/- 12.1 years, disease duration 18.7 +/- 13.6 years) met in groups of six to nine persons. After completing seven fatigue questionnaires [the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS); the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF) scale; the 20-item Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI); the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS); the Short Form-36 Vitality subscale (VT); the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-F) scale; and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)], each respondent had a minimum of five face-to-face discussions, followed by an individual comparative assessment of their own level of fatigue (seven-grade scale). This method resulted in 260 contrasting assessments; MCIDs were first calculated using the paired differences and then established by a regression approach. Patients were asked to comment on their experience with the questionnaires and whether they captured their fatigue adequately. Results: The paired approach (using 'little more fatigue' as an anchor for MCID during the face-to-face comparative assessments) provided estimates of 4.6-17.0; the regression approach provided estimates of 4.3-10.8. Estimates using the regression approach were consistently lower than those using the paired model. The MCID estimates were least favourable and fewer respondents supported the use of the NRS compared to the other self-reported questionnaires. Conclusions: All seven instruments detect MCIDs for fatigue in Swedish patients with SLE. However, the single-question measure was not supported by the MCID estimates or by comments from the respondents. C1 [Pettersson, S.; Lundberg, I. E.; Henriksson, E.

TI Diagnosis and Treatment of Low Testosterone among Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease SO SEMINARS IN DIALYSIS LA English DT Review ID TANDEM MASS-SPECTROMETRY; PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIALS; LATE-ONSET HYPOGONADISM; LOW SERUM TESTOSTERONE; BONE-MINERAL DENSITY; OLDER MEN; TRANSDERMAL TESTOSTERONE; MOBILITY LIMITATION; REFERENCE RANGES; MAINTENANCE HEMODIALYSIS AB The prevalence of low testosterone level is particularly high among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been associated with mortality. In populations without ESRD, low testosterone level has also been associated with a number of morbidities including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, low muscle mass, low bone mass, low physical performance, and frailty. However, there is controversy regarding what constitutes low testosterone level in the aging population and at what level replacement therapy with testosterone is indicated. There are no randomized controlled trials investigating long-term outcomes of testosterone replacement therapy in populations with or without ESRD. Available trial results suggest equivocal improvements in sexual function. Muscle mass and bone mineral density appear to improve, but results in physical function and performance are mixed and there are no data on fracture prevention. Some recent data suggest harm when testosterone was given to men with limited mobility. Finally, there is little evidence that testosterone adds to existing erythropoietin agents in the treatment of anemia in ESRD. Due to lack of evidence supporting long-term use of testosterone, the authors recommend against the routine use of testosterone in ESRD patients with low testosterone levels. Testosterone treatment can be considered in those with low bone mass and total testosterone level <200ng/dl, or in younger patients with sexual complaints with total testosterone level lower than the reference range. It is important to engage patients in discussion of risks and benefits before initiating testosterone therapy; testosterone therapy should be discontinued if the intended treatment effect is not observed after short-term use.

Prolonged exposure (PE) therapy is a highly effective behavioral treatment for these symptoms, and providing this treatment as soon as possible, even in the midst of a soldier's combat deployment, has strong potential benefits. Materials and Methods: In the current case study, telehealth technology was used to support the delivery of PE therapy to treat a service member diagnosed with acute stress disorder in a war zone. PE was conducted face-to-face on the relatively secure Forward Operating Base for the first half of therapy and via clinical videoconferencing (CV) to the service member's remote combat outpost during the later stages of therapy. The service member exhibited marked improvements in symptoms over 10 sessions. Results: Results are consistent with previous empirical findings and highlight the potential benefits of using telehealth to deliver evidenced-based treatment for traumatic stress disorders in a war zone. This case study provides a preliminary working model for delivering PE in a combat environment using multiple delivery systems. Conclusions: Benefits and clinical utility of CV-delivered exposure therapy are discussed, particularly for providers pending future operational deployments (e.g., including members of the military, independent government agencies, and first responders) and for those treating patients in remote locations.

TI A Planned Care Approach and Patient Registry to Improve Adherence to Clinical Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder SO ACADEMIC PEDIATRICS LA English DT Article DE AMID; planned care; primary care; quality improvement; registry ID DEFICIT-HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER; SHARED DECISION-MAKING; NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE; US CHILDREN; ADHD; SETTINGS; STIMULANTS; PREVALENCE; PEDIATRICS; PATTERNS AB BACKGROUND: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects almost 2.4 million US children. Because American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for ADHD recommend use of standardized diagnostic instruments, regular follow-up and the chronic care model, this pilot project sought to implement and assess an electronic registry of patients with AMID combined with care coordination by a planned care team. METHODS: This quality improvement project was structured with 2 intervention and 2 control clinics to facilitate evaluation of the use of a planned care system for management of ADHD. Care teams included a pediatrician, nurse, medical assistant, and care coordinator and tracked patients using an electronic registry with data drawn from the EMR. Clinical work flows were pilot tested to facilitate use of the Vanderbilt scales and their incorporation into the EMR at intervention sites. Outcome measures included 2 recommended clinical follow-ups based on HEDIS measures as well as use of the Vanderbilt rating scales. Initiation phase measure was for follow-up after initiating medication, while the continuation phase measure was for subsequent follow-up during the first year of treatment. Measures were monitored during the project year and then also in the ensuing period of spread of the intervention to other sites. RESULTS: Although the modified HEDIS initiation phase measure for patients newly on medication remained static at approximately 50% throughout the project period, the continuation phase measure showed improvement from 35% at baseline to 45% at the end of the project assessment year, a 29% increase. Follow-up for patients stable on medications also remained unchanged during the project period, but during subsequent spreading of the intervention to nonproject sites, follow-up of these patients improved to over 90%. In adjusted analyses, patients with ADHD at intervention sites were over 2 times more likely than patients at control sites to have had a Vanderbilt score documented in their records. CONCLUSIONS: The project achieved modest improvements in the diagnostic and treatment process for patients with ADHD. The use of a planned care system and electronic patient registry shows promise for improving the diagnosis and treatment process for patients with AMID.

TI Genome-wide association study follow-up identifies cyclin A2 as a regulator of the transition through cytokinesis during terminal erythropoiesis SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HEMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ERYTHROID-DIFFERENTIATION; HUMAN HEMATOPOIESIS; CELL-CYCLE; LIVER; GATA1; LOCI AB Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) hold tremendous promise to improve our understanding of human biology. Recent GWAS have revealed over 75 loci associated with erythroid traits, including the 4q27 locus that is associated with red blood cell size (mean corpuscular volume). The close linkage disequilibrium block at this locus harbors the CCNA2 gene that encodes cyclin A2. CCNA2 mRNA is highly expressed in human and murine erythroid progenitor cells and regulated by the essential erythroid transcription factor GATA1. To understand the role of cyclin A2 in erythropoiesis, we have reduced expression of this gene using short hairpin RNAs in a primary murine erythroid culture system. We demonstrate that cyclin A2 levels affect erythroid cell size by regulating the passage through cytokinesis during the final cell division of terminal erythropoiesis. Our study provides new insight into cell cycle regulation during terminal erythropoiesis and more generally illustrates the value of functional GWAS follow-up to gain mechanistic insight into hematopoiesis.Am.

TI Modulation of red blood cell population dynamics is a fundamental homeostatic response to disease SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HEMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DISTRIBUTION WIDTH; DIABETES-MELLITUS; IN-VIVO; PROGNOSTIC MARKER; IRON-DEFICIENCY; HEART-FAILURE; HEMOGLOBIN; RISK; ERYTHROCYTES; RETICULOCYTE AB Increased red blood cell (RBC) volume variation (RDW) has recently been shown to predict a wide range of mortality and morbidity: death due to cardiovascular disease, cancer, infection, renal disease, and more; complications in heart failure and coronary artery disease, advanced stage and worse prognosis in many cancers, poor outcomes in autoimmune disease, and many more. The mechanisms by which all of these diseases lead to increased RDW are unknown. Here we use a semi-mechanistic mathematical model of in vivo RBC population dynamics to dissect the factors controlling RDW and show that elevated RDW results largely from a slight reduction in the in vivo rate of RBC turnover. RBCs become smaller as they age, and a slight reduction in the rate of RBC turnover allows smaller cells to continue circulating, expanding the low-volume tail of the RBC population's volume distribution, and thereby increasing RDW. Our results show that mildly extended RBC lifespan is a previously unrecognized homeostatic adaptation common to a very wide range of pathologic states, likely compensating for subtle reductions in erythropoietic output. A mathematical model-based estimate of the clearance rate may provide a novel early-warning biomarker for a wide range of morbidity and mortality.Am. J. Hematol. 90:422-428, 2015.

Higher knowledge was associated with higher attitude scores (r = 0.35, P = .003), but knowledge and attitudes were not associated with behavior. Also, those with quadriplegia had higher knowledge scores (P = .03). Knowledge and attitudes, although related, do not appear to fully explain patients' hand hygiene behavior.

TI Marfan Syndrome Is Associated With Recurrent Dissection of the Dissected Aorta SO ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY LA English DT Article ID LONG-TERM SURVIVAL; INTERNATIONAL REGISTRY; FALSE LUMEN; REPAIR; FATE; DETERMINES; ANEURYSM; SURGERY; DISTAL AB Background. Recurrent dissection of a previously dissected aortic segment has been reported as a rare, late complication in single case reports. The infrequency of this event makes informed risk assessment in an individual patient challenging. Methods. To investigate this issue we examined the database of the Massachusetts General Hospital Thoracic Aortic Center between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2012. A retrospective review was performed to identify patients with both (1) an acute aortic dissection after a prior aortic dissection and (2) evidence of a new dissection within a previously dissected aortic segment creating a triple lumen aorta. Data were reviewed to identify factors predisposing to dissection of a previously dissected aortic segment. Results. Over a 10-year period we identified 5 cases of aortic dissection within a previously dissected aortic segment presenting as a new acute aortic syndrome. On average, the recurrent dissection occurred 1 decade after the first aortic dissection (mean [9.8 +/- 1.9 years). Patients identified in this series were significantly younger at first dissection and more likely to carry the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome. Aortic aneurysm diameter was quantified before and after the new dissection event and demonstrated a marked increase in aneurysmal size (mean increase [1.6 +/- 0.3 cm). Conclusions. We conclude that medial degeneration, as seen in the Marfan aorta, represents a predisposing factor for recurrent dissection of the dissected aorta. Our data indicate that double aortic dissections cause significant arterial destabilization and a low threshold for surgical intervention is appropriate. (C) 2015 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

TI Heparin Reduces Overcirculation-Induced Pulmonary Artery Remodeling Through P38 MAPK in Piglet SO ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY LA English DT Article ID SMOOTH-MUSCLE-CELLS; GROWTH-FACTOR; RAT MODEL; INHIBITION; PROLIFERATION; HYPERTENSION; MIGRATION; MECHANISMS; COLLAGEN; BINDING AB Background. Artery remodeling is the principal change of pulmonary artery hypertension. Heparin has been shown to inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. We hypothesized that heparin may modulate vascular remodeling in pulmonary artery hypertension, and explored the mechanism. Methods. A localized overcirculation-induced artery remodeling was created in piglets by anastomosing the left lower lobe pulmonary artery (LLLPA) to the thoracic aortic artery. Piglets were treated with heparinor saline for 4 weeks. Hemodynamic data were collected, and histology of the lung was assessed. We investigated the expressions of several candidate genes in lung and further observed the involvement of P3W8 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). The effects of heparin on the growth of cultured pulmonary arterial vascular smooth muscle cell and P38 MAPK expression were further determined under various conditions. Results. Four weeks after the shunt setup, over-circulation caused significant LLLPA remodeling, pressure increase, and pulmonary vascular resistance increase, and LLLPA flow reduction compared with that immediately after the shunt setup. Heparin reduced the LLLPA remodeling, pressure, and pulmonary vascular resistance, and increased the LLLPA flow compared with that not heparin treated. Shunt and heparin treatment did not change the piglet's systemic hemodynamics. Shunt increased the expression of P38 MAPK and heparin decreased its expression in the shunted LLLPA. Both heparin and P38 MAPK inhibitor suppressed VSMC growth and P38 MAPK expression in the cultured VSMC, but they did not present additive effects when the two treatments were combined. Conclusions. Heparin reduces overcirculation-induced pulmonary artery remodeling through a P38 MAPK dependent pathway.

Examined indices include the proposed RBANS Performance Validity Index (RBANS PVI) and the Charleston Revised Index of Effort for the RBANS (CRIER). The CRIER represented the novel integration of cognitive test performance and depression self-report information. The sample included 234 patients without dementia who could be identified as having demonstrated either valid or invalid responding, based on standardized criteria. Sensitivity and specificity for invalid responding varied widely, with the CRIER emerging as the best all-around index (sensitivity = 0.84, specificity = 0.90, AUC = 0.94). Findings support the use of embedded response validity indices, and suggest that the integration of cognitive and self-report depression data may optimize detection of invalid responding among older Veterans.

To generate knockin mice that express a tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase from the Prg4 locus (Prg4(GFPCreERt2) mice) and to use these animals to fate-map the progeny of Prg4-positive articular cartilage cells at various ages. Methods. We crossed Prg4(GFPCreERt2) mice with Rosa26(floxlacZ) or Rosa26(mTmG) reporter strains, administered tamoxifen to the double heterozygous offspring at different ages, and assayed Cre-mediated recombination by histochemistry and/or fluorescence microscopy. Results. In 1-month-old mice, the expression of the Prg4(GFPCreERt2) allele mirrored the expression of endogenous Prg4 and, when tamoxifen was administered for 10 days, caused Cre-mediated recombination in similar to 70% of the superficial-most chondrocytes. Prg4(GFPCreERt2) -expressing cells were mostly confined to the top 3 cell layers of the articular cartilage in 1-month-old mice, but descendants of these cells were located in deeper regions of the articular cartilage in aged mice. On embryonic day 17.5, Prg4(GFPCreERt2)-expressing cells were largely restricted to the superficial-most cell layer of the forming joint, yet at similar to 1 year, the progeny of these cells spanned the depth of the articular cartilage. Conclusion. Our results suggest that Prg4-expressing cells located at the joint surface in the embryo serve as a progenitor population for all deeper layers of the mature articular cartilage. Also, our findings indicate that Prg4(GFPCreERt2) is expressed by superficial chondrocytes in young mice, but expands into deeper regions of the articular cartilage as the animals age. The Prg4(GFPCreERt2) allele should be a useful tool for inducing efficient Cre-mediated recombination of loxP-flanked alleles at sites of Prg4 expression.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic functional pain syndrome characterized by widespread pain, significant pain catastrophizing, sympathovagal dysfunction, and amplified temporal summation for evoked pain. While several studies have demonstrated altered resting brain connectivity in FM, studies have not specifically probed the somatosensory system and its role in both somatic and nonsomatic FM symptoms. Our objective was to evaluate resting primary somatosensory cortex (S1) connectivity and to explore how sustained, evoked deep tissue pain modulates this connectivity. Methods. We acquired functional magnetic resonance imaging and electrocardiography data on FM patients and healthy controls during rest (the rest phase) and during sustained mechanical pressure-induced pain over the lower leg (the pain phase). Functional connectivity associated with different S1 subregions was calculated, while S1(leg) connectivity (representation of the leg in the primary somatosensory cortex) was contrasted between the rest phase and the pain phase and was correlated with clinically relevant measures in FM. Results. During the rest phase, FM patients showed decreased connectivity between multiple ipsilateral and cross-hemispheric S1 subregions, which was correlated with clinical pain severity. Compared to the rest phase, the pain phase produced increased S1(leg) connectivity to the bilateral anterior insula in FM patients, but not in healthy controls. Moreover, in FM patients, sustained pain-altered S1(leg) connectivity to the anterior insula was correlated with clinical/behavioral pain measures and autonomic responses. Conclusion. Our study demonstrates that both somatic and nonsomatic dysfunction in FM, including clinical pain, pain catastrophizing, autonomic dysfunction, and amplified temporal summation, are closely linked with the degree to which evoked deep tissue pain alters S1 connectivity to salience/affective pain-processing regions. Additionally, diminished connectivity between S1 subregions during the rest phase in FM may result from ongoing widespread clinical pain.

Transplant practices have evolved during the past decade, suggesting the need to reevaluate the performance of the PAM score. We used statistical modeling to analyze and recalibrate mortality based on overall PAM scores, its components, and conditioning regimen in a retrospective cohort of 1549 patients who had HCT from 2003 through 2009. PAM scores correlated with mortality, but the effect size was smaller in the current study than in previous studies. PAM scores also demonstrated a stronger association with mortality in patients who received myeloablative conditioning than in those who received reduced-intensity conditioning. In contrast to the original study, carbon monoxide diffusing capacity, serum alanine aminotransferase, and serum creatinine concentrations were no longer significantly associated with 2-year mortality, whereas patient and donor cytomegalovirus serology was associated with mortality in the current cohort. Based on our findings, we developed and tested a revised PAM score for clinicians to estimate survival after allogeneic HCT with myeloablative conditioning regimens for patients with hematologic malignancy. Prognostic models such as the PAM score should be updated and recalibrated periodically to accommodate changes in clinical practice. (C) 2015 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

TI Absolute Lymphocyte Count Recovery after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Predicts Clinical Outcome SO BIOLOGY OF BLOOD AND MARROW TRANSPLANTATION LA English DT Article DE Lymphocyte; Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC); Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) ID ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC-LEUKEMIA; MONOCYTE RECOVERY; RISK; MALIGNANCIES; RELAPSE; DISEASE; IMPACT; INDEX AB Immune reconstitution is critical for clinical outcome after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To determine the impact of absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) recovery on clinical outcomes, we conducted a retrospective study of 1109 adult patients who underwent a first allogeneic HSCT from 2003 through 2009, excluding patients who died or relapsed before day 30. The median age was 51 years (range, 18 to 74) with 52% undergoing reduced-intensity conditioning and 48% undergoing myeloablative conditioning HSCT with T cell-replete peripheral blood stem cells (93.7%) or marrow (6.4%) grafts. The median follow-up time was 6 years. To determine the threshold value of ALC for survival, the entire cohort was randomly split into a training set and a validation set in a 1:1 ratio, and then a restricted cubic spline smoothing method was applied to obtain relative hazard estimates of the relationship between ALC at 1 month and log hazard of progression-free survival (PFS). Based on this approach, ALC was categorized as <=.2 x 10(9) cells/L (low) or >.2 x 10(9) cells/L. For patients with low ALC at 1, 2, or 3 months after HSCT, the overall survival (OS) (P <= .0001) and PFS (P <= .0002) were significantly lower and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) (P <= .002) was significantly higher compared with patients with ALC > .2 x 10(9) cells/L at each time point. When patients who had low ALC at 1, 2, or 3 months after HSCT were grouped together and compared, their outcomes were inferior to those of patients who had ALC > .2 x 10(9) cells/L at 1, 2, and 3 months after HSCT: the 5-year OS for patients with low ALC was 28% versus 46% for patients with ALC > .2 x 10(9) cells/L, P < .0001; the 5-year PFS was 21% versus 39%, P < .0001, respectively and 5-year NRM was 40% versus 18%, P < .0001, respectively. This result remained consistent when other prognostic factors, including occurrence of grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), were adjusted for in multivariable Cox models stratified by conditioning intensity: hazard ratio (HR) for OS: 1.52; P <= .0001; for PFS: 1.42; P = .0008; and for NRM: 2.4 P < .0001 for patients with low ALC. Low ALC was not significantly associated with relapse (HR, 1.01; P = .92) in the multivariable model. Low ALC early after HSCT is an independent risk factor for increased NRM and poor survival independent of grade II to IV acute GVHD. (C) 2015 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

TI Incidence and Causes of Hospital Readmission in Pediatric Patients after Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation SO BIOLOGY OF BLOOD AND MARROW TRANSPLANTATION LA English DT Article DE Bone marrow transplantation; Stem cell transplantation; Readmission; Quality improvement ID CORD BLOOD TRANSPLANTATION; IMMUNE RECONSTITUTION; RISK-FACTORS; INFANTS AB Allogeneic (allo) and autologous (auto) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) provide the potential to cure otherwise fatal diseases but they are resource-intense therapies. There is scant literature describing the burden of hospital readmission in the critical 6-month period of immunosuppression after HCT. We report the incidence, causes, and outcomes of readmission in the 6 months after day 0 of HCT and in the 30 days after hospital discharge. This study is an institutional review board approved retrospective medical record review of children who underwent HCT at a single institution. Between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011, 291 children underwent HCT at our institute. Of these, 140 patients were excluded because they were not followed primarily at our institute for the first 6 months after transplantation, 14 patients were excluded because they died during their initial hospitalization, and 1 patient was excluded because the initial hospitalization was longer than 6 months. Of the remaining 136 patients, 63% had at least 1 readmission. Of the patients who underwent allo-HCT, 78% were readmitted, in contrast to 38% of auto-HCT patients (P < .001). For the 206 readmissions, the mean length of hospital stay was 10.7 days (range, 1 to 129). Seventy-two percent of auto-HCT patients were initially readmitted for fever, and 46% ultimately had a source identified. No risk factors for readmission were found in the auto-HCT group. Fifty-two percent of allo-HCT patients were readmitted for fever and 28% of these patients ultimately had an identified source. Gastrointestinal-related problems accounted for 30% of primary readmissions among allo-HCT patients. Patients with an unrelated donor had a trend towards increased rates of 30-day readmission (P = .06) and were more likely to have a second readmission (P = .002). Patients who were cytomegalovirus (CMV) positive before transplantation were more likely to be readmitted (P = .02). The majority of children who undergo HCT are readmitted during the critical 180 days after transplantation. Readmission is much more common among allo-Ha patients, in particular those with unrelated donors and CMV-positive serologies before transplantation. Fever is the most common cause of readmission in these patients, and serious infections are identified in a significant portion of patients. These findings and future research in this area will help improve both patient education and resource utilization. (C) 2015 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

Kenet, Tal TI Somatosensory cortex functional connectivity abnormalities in autism show opposite trends, depending on direction and spatial scale SO BRAIN LA English DT Article DE magnetoencephalography; coherence; biomarker; steady-state; vibrotactile; mu-rhythm; autism spectrum disorder ID SPACE SEPARATION METHOD; SURFACE-BASED ANALYSIS; TOP-DOWN MODULATION; SPECTRUM DISORDERS; BRAIN CONNECTIVITY; EVOKED-RESPONSES; CORTICAL SURFACE; EEG-DATA; COORDINATE SYSTEM; MU RHYTHM AB Functional connectivity is abnormal in autism, but the nature of these abnormalities remains elusive. Different studies, mostly using functional magnetic resonance imaging, have found increased, decreased, or even mixed pattern functional connectivity abnormalities in autism, but no unifying framework has emerged to date. We measured functional connectivity in individuals with autism and in controls using magnetoencephalography, which allowed us to resolve both the directionality (feedforward versus feedback) and spatial scale (local or long-range) of functional connectivity. Specifically, we measured the cortical response and functional connectivity during a passive 25-Hz vibrotactile stimulation in the somatosensory cortex of 20 typically developing individuals and 15 individuals with autism, all males and right-handed, aged 8-18, and the mu-rhythm during resting state in a subset of these participants (12 per group, same age range). Two major significant group differences emerged in the response to the vibrotactile stimulus. First, the 50-Hz phase locking component of the cortical response, generated locally in the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) somatosensory cortex, was reduced in the autism group (P < 0.003, corrected). Second, feedforward functional connectivity between S1 and S2 was increased in the autism group (P < 0.004, corrected). During resting state, there was no group difference in the mu-a rhythm. In contrast, the mu-beta rhythm, which has been associated with feedback connectivity, was significantly reduced in the autism group (P < 0.04, corrected). Furthermore, the strength of the mu-beta was correlated to the relative strength of 50 Hz component of the response to the vibrotactile stimulus (r = 0.78, P < 0.00005), indicating a shared aetiology for these seemingly unrelated abnormalities. These magnetoencephalography-derived measures were correlated with two different behavioural sensory processing scores (P < 0.01 and P < 0.02 for the autism group, P < 0.01 and P < 0.0001 for the typical group), with autism severity (P < 0.03), and with diagnosis (89% accuracy). A biophysically realistic computational model using data driven feedforward and feedback parameters replicated the magnetoencephalography data faithfully. The direct observation of both abnormally increased and abnormally decreased functional connectivity in autism occurring simultaneously in different functional connectivity streams, offers a potential unifying framework for the unexplained discrepancies in current findings. Given that cortical feedback, whether local or long-range, is intrinsically non-linear, while cortical feedforward is generally linear relative to the stimulus, the present results suggest decreased non-linearity alongside an increased veridical component of the cortical response in autism.

TI Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Safety and Efficacy in a Worldwide Treatment-Use Trial of Sunitinib SO CANCER LA English DT Article DE sunitinib; gastrointestinal stromal tumor; treatment-use trial; long-term safety; efficacy; worldwide ID IMATINIB; MUTATIONS; PLACEBO AB BACKGROUNDThe objectives of this study were to provide sunitinib to patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) who were otherwise unable to obtain it and to collect broad safety and efficacy data from a large population of patients with advanced GIST after imatinib failure. METHODSImatinib-resistant/intolerant patients with advanced GIST received sunitinib on an initial dosing schedule of 50 mg daily in 6-week cycles (4 weeks on treatment, 2 weeks off treatment). Tumor assessment frequency was according to local practice, and response was assessed by investigators according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.0. Overall survival (OS) and safety were assessed regularly. Post hoc analyses evaluated different patterns of treatment management. RESULTSAt final data cutoff, 1124 patients comprised the intent-to-treat population, and 15% of these patients had a baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 2. The median treatment duration was 7.0 months. The median time to tumor progression was 8.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.0-9.4 months), the median OS was 16.6 months (95% CI, 14.9-18.0 months), and 36% of patients were alive at the time of analysis. Patients for whom the initial dosing schedule was modified exhibited longer median OS (23.5 months) than those who were treated strictly according to the initial dosing schedule (11.1 months). The most common treatment-related grade 3 and 4 adverse events were hand-foot syndrome (11%), fatigue (9%), neutropenia (8%), hypertension (7%), and thrombocytopenia (6%). Treatment-related adverse events associated with cardiac function (eg, congestive heart failure and myocardial infarction) were reported at frequencies of 1% each. CONCLUSIONSThis treatment-use study confirms the long-term safety and efficacy of sunitinib in a large international population of patients with advanced GIST after imatinib failure. Cancer 2015;121:1405-1413. (c) 2015 American Cancer Society. Final results from a worldwide treatment-use study of sunitinib in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) add to the existing body of evidence supporting the long-term safety and efficacy of sunitinib in an international population of patients with advanced GIST after failure on first-line imatinib who were ineligible for other sunitinib clinical trials. These data expand results reported in the more restricted and selected population of patients accrued to the phase 3 study of sunitinib in GIST.

TI Is Clinical Stage T2c Prostate Cancer an Intermediate- or High-Risk Disease? SO CANCER LA English DT Article DE biochemical recurrence; clinical staging; D'Amico risk stratification; Gleason score; prostate cancer; prostate-specific antigen; radical prostatectomy ID ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY; BEAM RADIATION-THERAPY; GROUP PROTOCOL 92-02; PHASE-III TRIAL; RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY; PREOPERATIVE NOMOGRAM; RANDOMIZED-TRIAL; RECURRENCE; VALIDATION; PROBABILITY AB BACKGROUNDClinical stage T2c (cT2c) is an indeterminate factor in prostate cancer (PC) risk stratification. According to the D'Amico grouping and American Urological Association guidelines, cT2c is a high risk, whereas the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the European Urological Association classify cT2c as an intermediate risk. This study assessed whether cT2c tumors without other high-risk factors (clinical stage T2c, not otherwise specified [cT2c-NOS]) behaved as an intermediate or high risk through an analysis of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy. METHODSTwo thousand seven hundred fifty-nine men from the Shared Equal Access Regional Cancer Hospital (SEARCH) Database and 12,900 men from Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH) from 1988-2011 and 1982-2012, respectively, were analyzed. Patients were grouped into low-risk (prostate-specific antigen [PSA] < 10 ng/mL, Gleason sum 6, and cT1-T2a), intermediate-risk (PSA = 10-20 ng/mL, Gleason sum = 7, or cT2b), and high-risk PC categories (PSA > 20 ng/mL, Gleason sum = 8-10, or cT3). Men with cT2c tumors who were not otherwise at high risk (ie, PSA< 20 ng/mL and Gleason sum < 8) were placed into a separate category termed cT2c-NOS. Associations between cT2c-NOS and intermediate- and high-risk patients and BCR were tested with the log-rank test and Cox proportional analysis models. RESULTSNinety-nine men (4%) from SEARCH and 202 men (2%) from JHH had tumors classified as cT2c-NOS. The cT2c-NOS patients had a BCR risk similar to that of the intermediate-risk patients (SEARCH, P = .27; JHH, P = .23) but a significantly lower BCR risk in comparison with the high-risk patients (SEARCH, P < .001; JHH, P < .001). When they were specifically compared with intermediate- and high-risk patients, after adjustments for year and center, cT2c-NOS patients had outcomes comparable to those of intermediate-risk patients (SEARCH, P = .53; JHH, P = .54) but significantly better than those of high-risk patients (SEARCH, P = .003; JHH, P < .001). CONCLUSIONSPatients with cT2c disease without other high-risk features had outcomes similar to the outcomes of patients with intermediate-risk PC and significantly better than the outcomes of patients with high-risk PC. These findings suggest that men with cT2c disease should be considered to be at intermediate risk. Cancer 2015;121:1414-1421. (c) 2014 American Cancer Society. The risk of biochemical recurrence for patients with clinical stage T2c disease without other high-risk features is comparable to the risk for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer and significantly better than the risk for men with high-risk prostate cancer. Men with clinical stage T2c prostate cancer should be offered treatment options for intermediate-risk disease.

The BCL2 family proteins comprise the sentinel network that regulates the mitochondrial or intrinsic apoptotic response. Recent advances in our understanding of apoptotic signaling pathways have enabled methods to identify cancers that are "primed" to undergo apoptosis, and have revealed potential biomarkers that may predict which cancers will undergo apoptosis in response to specific therapies. Complementary efforts have focused on developing novel drugs that directly target antiapoptotic BCL2 family proteins. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the role of BCL2 family members in cancer development and response to therapy, focusing on targeted therapeutics, recent progress in the development of apoptotic biomarkers, and therapeutic strategies designed to overcome deficiencies in apoptosis. Significance: Apoptosis, long known to be important for response to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, has more recently been shown to be essential for the efficacy of targeted therapies. Approaches that increase the likelihood of a cancer to undergo apoptosis following therapy may help improve targeted treatment strategies. (C) 2015 AACR.

In prostate cancer, ETS family members, such as ERG, ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5, are frequently overexpressed due to chromosomal translocations, but the molecular mechanisms by which they promote prostate tumorigenesis remain largely undefined. Here, we show that ETS family members, such as ERG and ETV1, directly repress the expression of the checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1), a key DNA damage response cell-cycle regulator essential for the maintenance of genome integrity. Critically, we find that ERG expression correlates with CHK1 downregulation in human patients and demonstrate that Chk1 heterozygosity promotes the progression of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia into prostatic invasive carcinoma in Pten(+/-) mice. Importantly, CHK1 downregulation sensitizes prostate tumor cells to etoposide but not to docetaxel treatment. Thus, we identify CHK1 as a key functional target of the ETS proto-oncogenic family with important therapeutic implications. SIGNIFICANCE: Genetic translocation and aberrant expression of ETS family members is a common event in different types of human tumors. Here, we show that through the transcriptional repression of CHK1, ETS factors may favor DNA damage accumulation and consequent genetic instability in proliferating cells. Importantly, our findings provide a rationale for testing DNA replication inhibitor agents in ETS-positive TP53-proficient tumors. (C) 2015 AACR.

TI Genomic Landscape of Human Papillomavirus-Associated Cancers SO CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH LA English DT Review ID SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA; CERVICAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA; HPV-ASSOCIATED P16-EXPRESSION; NECK-CANCER; PROGNOSTIC-SIGNIFICANCE; PHYSICAL STATE; LUNG-CANCER; E7 PROTEIN; LIFE-CYCLE; HEAD AB Recent next-generation sequencing studies have generated a comprehensive overview of the genomic landscape of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers. This review summarizes these findings to provide insight into the tumor biology of these cancers and potential therapeutic opportunities for HPV-driven malignancies. In addition to the tumorigenic properties of the HPV oncoproteins, integration of HPV DNA into the host genome is suggested to be a driver of the neoplastic process. Integration may confer a growth and survival advantage via enhanced expression of viral oncoproteins, alteration of critical cellular genes, and changes in global promoter methylation and transcription. Alteration of cellular genes may lead to loss of function of tumor suppressor genes, enhanced oncogene expression, loss of function of DNA repair genes, or other vital cellular functions. Recurrent integrations in RAD51B, NR4A2, and TP63, leading to aberrant forms of these proteins, are observed in both HPV-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and cervical carcinoma. Additional genomic alterations, independent of integration events, include recurrent PIK3CA mutations (and aberrations in other members of the PI3K pathway), alterations in receptor tyrosine kinases (primarily FGFR2 and FGFR3 in HPV-positive HNSCC, and ERBB2 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma), and genes in pathways related to squamous cell differentiation and immune responses. A number of the alterations identified are potentially targetable, which may lead to advances in the treatment of HPV-associated cancers. (C) 2015 AACR.

TI Impact of Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease on Late Relapse and Survival on 7,489 Patients after Myeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Leukemia SO CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID BONE-MARROW-TRANSPLANTATION; UNRELATED DONOR TRANSPLANTATION; HLA-IDENTICAL SIBLINGS; LEUKOCYTE INFUSIONS; MYELOID-LEUKEMIA; EUROPEAN GROUP; MORTALITY; BLOOD AB Purpose: Malignancy relapse remains a major obstacle for successful allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is associated with fewer relapses. However, when studying effects of cGVHD on relapse, it is difficult to separate from acute GVHD effects as most cases of cGVHD occur within the first year after transplant at the time when acute GVHD is still active. Experimental Design: This study based on CIBMTR registry data investigated cGVHD and its association with the incidence of late relapse and survival in 7,489 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), who were leukemia free at 12 months after myeloablative allogeneic HCT. Results: Forty-seven percent of the study population was diagnosed with cGVHD at 12 months after transplant. The protective effect of cGVHD on late relapse was present only in patients with CML [RR, 0.47; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.37-0.59; P < 0.0001). cGVHD was significantly associated with higher risk of treatment-related mortality (TRM; RR, 2.43; 95% CI, 2.09-2.82; P < 0.0001) and inferior overall survival (RR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.41-1.73; P < 0.0001) for all diseases. In patients with CML, all organ sites and presentation types of cGVHD were equally associated with lower risk of late relapse. Conclusions: These results indicate that clinically relevant antileukemia effects of cGVHD on late relapses are present only in CML but not in AML, ALL, or MDS. Chronic GVHD in patients who are 1-year survivors after myeloablative allogeneic HCT is primarily associated with higher TRM and inferior survival. (C) 2014 AACR.

Qiu, Lugui TI The Impact of Clone Size on the Prognostic Value of Chromosome Aberrations by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Multiple Myeloma SO CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID STEM-CELL TRANSPLANTATION; LENALIDOMIDE PLUS DEXAMETHASONE; INTERPHASE FISH; DOSE CHEMOTHERAPY; WORKING GROUP; P53 DELETION; 1Q21 GAINS; SURVIVAL; ABNORMALITIES; CLASSIFICATION AB Purpose: Accumulating evidence indicates that intratumor heterogeneity is prevalent in multiple myeloma and that a collection of multiple, genetically distinct subclones are present within the myeloma cell population. It is not clear whether the size of clonal myeloma populations harboring unique cytogenetic abnormalities carry any additional prognostic value. Experimental Design: We analyzed the prognostic impact of cytogenetic aberrations by fluorescence in situ hybridization at different cutoff values in a cohort of 333 patients with newly diagnosed myeloma and 92 patients with relapsed myeloma. Results: We found that nearly all IgH-related arrangements were observed in a large majority of the purified plasma cells; however, 13q deletion, 17p deletion, and 1q21 amplification appeared in different percentages within the malignant plasma cell population. Based on the size of subclones carrying these cytogenetic aberrations, the patients were divided into four groups: 0%-10%, 10.5%-20%, 20.5%-50%, and >50%. Receiver-operating characteristics analysis was applied to determine the optimal cutoff value with the greatest differential survival and showed that the most powerful clone sizes were 10% for 13q deletion, 50% for 17p deletion, and 20% for 1q21 gains, which provided the best possible cutoffs for predicting poor outcomes. Conclusions: Our study indicated that the impact of clone size on prognostic value varies between specific genetic abnormalities. Prognostic value was observed for even a subgroup of plasma cells harboring the cytogenetic aberration of 13q deletion and 1q21 gains; however, 17p deletion displayed the most powerful cutoff for predicting survival only if the predominant clones harbored the abnormality.

Multi-detector computer tomography (MDCT) of the abdomen is one imaging technique used to diagnose enlargement of the aneurysm sac that may be indicative of endoleaks. MDCT has a role in identifying the initial endoleak formation and providing signs suggestive of the specific endoleak subtype; thus it is necessary for radiologists to be familiar with the findings of endoleak seen on MDCT. In this pictorial review, we explore the various types of endoleaks and their appearance on MDCT. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The institutional review board approved this retrospective study in which data in the electronic incident reporting system were searched. A total of 194, 400 intravenous administrations of linear ionic GBCAs were assessed for the incidence of adverse reactions and risk factors from 1 January 2007 to 14 January 2014. The severity of reactions (mild, moderate, and severe), patient type (outpatients, inpatients, and emergency), examination type, and treatment options were also investigated. RESULTS: In total, 204/194400 (0.1%) patients (mean age 45.7 +/- 14.9) showed adverse reactions, consisting of 6/746 (0.80%), 10/3200 (0.31%), 14/6236 (0.22%) and 174/184218 (0.09%), for gadofosveset trisodium, gadoxetate disodium, gadobenate dimeglumine, and gadopentetate dimeglumine, respectively. An overall significant difference was found between different GBCAs regarding the total number of reactions (p < 0.0001). When comparing the GBCAs together, significant differences were found between gadofosveset trisodium versus gadopentetate dimeglumine (p < 0.0001), gadofosveset trisodium versus gadobenate dimeglumine (p = 0.0051), gadoxetate disodium versus gadopentetate dimeglumine (p < 0.0001) and gadopentetate dimeglumine versus gadobenate dimeglumine (p = 0.0013). Rate of reaction was higher in females (F: 146/113187, 0.13%/M: 58/81213, 0.07%; p < 0.0001). Rate of reactions was higher in outpatient (180/158885, 0.11%), emergency (10/10413, 0.10%), and inpatients (14/25102, 0.05%), respectively (p < 0.0001). Most of the patients had mild symptoms 171/204 (83.8%). Abdomen-pelvis, liver, and thoracic examinations had highest rates of reactions (0.17 versus 0.16 versus 0.15). CONCLUSION: The overall rate of adverse reaction to GBCAs was 0.1%. The rates of reactions were highest in gadofosveset trisodium with (0.80%), followed by gadoxetate disodium (0.31%), gadobenate dimeglumine (0.22%) and gadopentetate dimeglumine (0.09%).

Methods: We performed a systematic literature search to identify studies evaluating MM treatment strategies using mathematical decision-analytic models. We included studies that were published as full-text articles in English, and assessed relevant clinical endpoints, and summarized methodological characteristics (e.g., modeling approaches, simulation techniques, health outcomes, perspectives). Results: Eleven decision-analytic modeling studies met our inclusion criteria. Five different modeling approaches were adopted: decision-tree modeling, Markov state-transition modeling, discrete event simulation, partitioned-survival analysis and area-under-the-curve modeling. Health outcomes included survival, number-needed-to-treat, life expectancy, and quality-adjusted life years. Evaluated treatment strategies included novel agent-based combination therapies, stem cell transplantation and supportive measures. Conclusion: Overall, our review provides a comprehensive summary of modeling studies assessing treatment of MM and highlights decision-analytic modeling as an important tool for health policy decision making.

Eligible studies included randomized trials comparing arms with and without an FDA-approved VEGFR TKI. Statistical analyses calculated the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 10,647 patients from 16 phase III trials and 5 phase II trials were selected. All grade CHIP occurred in 138 of 5752 (2.39%) patients receiving VEGFR TKIs and 37 of 4895 (0.75%) patients in the non-TKI group. High-grade CHF occurred in 17 of 1426(1.19%) patients receiving VEGFR TKIs and 8 of 1232(0.65%) patients in the non-TKI group. The RR of all grade and high-grade CHF for the TKI vs. no TKI arms was 2.69 (p<0.001; 95% CI: 1.86 to 3.87) and 1.65 (p=0.227, 95% CI: 0.73 to 3.70), respectively. The RR of relatively specific TKIs (axitinib) was similar to relatively non-specific TKIs (sunitinib, sorafenib, vandetanib, pazopanib). (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Although most substance users also abuse/depend on alcohol concurrently (polysubstance users; PSU), rigorous perfusion research in PSU is limited. Also, the relationships of perfusion abnormalities with cognition, impulsivity, or decision making are not well known. Methods: Arterial spin labeling MRI and neuropsychological measures assessed perfusion levels and neurocognition in 20 alcohol-dependent individuals with comorbid-stimulant dependence (PSU), 26 individuals dependent on alcohol only (ALC), and 31 light/non-drinking controls (LD). The patient groups included smokers and non-smokers. Results: ALC had lower perfusion than LD in subcortical and cortical brain regions including the brain reward/executive oversight system (BREOS). Contrary to our hypothesis, regional perfusion was generally not lower in PSU than ALC. However, smoking PSU had lower perfusion than smoking ALC in several regions, including BREOS. Lower BREOS perfusion related to greater drinking severity in smoking substance users and to greater smoking severity in smoking ALC. Lower regional perfusion in ALC and PSU correlated with worse performance in different cognitive domains; smoking status affected perfusion-cognition relationships in ALC only. Lower BREOS perfusion in both substance using groups related to higher impulsivity. Conclusion: Although regional perfusion was not decreased in PSU as a group, the combination of cigarette smoking and polysubstance use is strongly related to hypoperfusion in important cortical and subcortical regions. As lower perfusion relates to greater smoking severity, worse cognition and higher impulsivity, smoking cessation is warranted for treatment-seeking PSU and ALC. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

TI Auditory Brainstem Implant: Electrophysiologic Responses and Subject Perception SO EAR AND HEARING LA English DT Article DE Auditory brainstem response; Cochlear nucleus; Middle-latency response; Neural prosthesis ID COCHLEAR NUCLEUS; ELECTRICAL-STIMULATION; NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE-2 AB Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to compare the perceptual sensation produced by bipolar electrical stimulation of auditory brainstem implant (ABI) electrodes with the morphology of electrically evoked responses elicited by the same bipolar stimulus in the same unanesthetized, postsurgical state. Secondary aims were to (1) examine the relationships between sensations elicited by the bipolar stimulation used for evoked potential recording and the sensations elicited by the monopolar pulse-train stimulation used by the implant processor, and (2) examine the relationships between evoked potential morphology (elicited by bipolar stimulation) to the sensations elicited by monopolar stimulation. Design: Electrically evoked early-latency and middle-latency responses to bipolar, biphasic low-rate pulses were recorded postoperatively in four adults with ABIs. Before recording, the perceptual sensations elicited by these bipolar stimuli were obtained and categorized as (1) auditory sensations only, (2) mixed sensations (both auditory and nonauditory), (3) side effect (nonauditory sensations), or (4) no sensation. In addition, the sensations elicited by monopolar higher-rate pulse-train stimuli similar to that used in processor programming were measured for all electrodes in the ABI array and classified using the same categories. Comparisons were made between evoked response morphology, bipolar stimulation sensation, and monopolar stimulation sensation. Results: Sensations were classified for 33 bipolar pairs as follows: 21 pairs were auditory, 6 were mixed, 5 were side effect, and 1 was no sensation. When these sensations were compared with the electrically evoked response morphology for these signals, P3 of the electrically evoked auditory brainstem response (eABR) and the presence of a middle-latency positive wave, usually between 15 and 25 msec (electrical early middle-latency response [eMLR]), were only present when the perceptual sensation had an auditory component (either auditory or mixed pairs). The presence of other waves in the early-latency response such as N1 or P2 or a positive wave after 4 msec did not distinguish between only auditory or only nonauditory sensations. For monopolar stimulation, 42 were classified as auditory, 16 were mixed, and 26 were classified as side effect or no sensation. When bipolar sensations were compared with monopolar sensations for the 21 bipolar pairs categorized as auditory, 7 pairs had monopolar sensations of auditory for both electrodes, 9 pairs had only one electrode with a monopolar sensation of auditory, with the remainder having neither electrode as auditory. Of 6 bipolar pairs categorized as mixed, 3 had monopolar auditory sensations for one of the electrodes. When monopolar stimulation was compared with evoked potential morphology elicited by bipolar stimulation, P3 and the eMLR were more likely to be present when one or both of the electrodes in the bipolar pair elicited an auditory or mixed sensation with monopolar stimulation and were less likely to occur when neither of the electrodes had an auditory monopolar sensation. Again, other eABR waves did not distinguish between auditory and nonauditory sensations. Conclusions: ABI electrodes that are associated with auditory sensations elicited by bipolar stimulation are more likely to elicit evoked responses with a P3 wave or a middle-latency wave. P3 of the eABR and M15-25 of the eMLR are less likely to be present if neither electrode of the bipolar pair evoked an auditory sensation with monopolar stimulation.

TI Lacosamide use in the treatment of refractory epilepsy in tuberous sclerosis complex SO EPILEPSY RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Epilepsy; Tuberous sclerosis complex; Adjunctive therapy; Anticonvulsants; LCS ID THERAPY AB Lacosamide (LCS) was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008 as adjunctive therapy to other anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) to treat focal-onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization. Its role in the treatment of epilepsy in individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) has yet to be determined. This study evaluates LCS treatment of focal-onset refractory epilepsy in patients with TSC. From November 2009 to June 2014, 46 TSC patients followed by a single neurologist were treated with LCS. Forty-eight percent were responders (seizure reduction >= 50%). No significant differences between responders and non-responders in demographic characteristics were found. LCS appears to be an effective and safe treatment of refractory focal onset seizures in TSC. Determining the long-term tolerability and efficacy of LCS in TSC patients requires additional clinical experience. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

MethodWe performed latent profile analysis (LPA) using indicator variables from data collected during routine assessment, and then applied taxometric analysis to determine whether latent classes were qualitatively versus quantitatively distinct. ResultsLatent profile analysis identified four classes: (i) binge/purge (47%); (ii) non-fat-phobic low-weight (34%); (iii) fat-phobic low-weight (12%); and (iv) overweight disordered eating (6%). Taxometric analysis identified qualitative (categorical) distinctions between the binge/purge and non-fat-phobic low-weight classes, and also between the fat-phobic and non-fat-phobic low-weight classes. Distinctions between the fat-phobic low-weight and binge/purge classes were indeterminate. ConclusionEmpirically derived categories in Hong Kong showed recognizable correspondence with recognizable lifetime ED phenotypes. Although taxometric findings support two distinct classes of low weight EDs, LPA findings also support heterogeneity among non-fat-phobic individuals.

TI An assistive decision-and-control architecture for force-sensitive hand-arm systems driven by human-machine interfaces SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBOTICS RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Service robots; assistive robotics; medical robots and systems; human-centered and life-like robotics; telerobotics ID BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE; SURFACE EMG; SIGNALS; TETRAPLEGIA; ENVIRONMENTS; PROSTHESES; MOVEMENTS; DIRECTION; POSITION; PEOPLE AB Fully autonomous applications of modern robotic systems are still constrained by limitations in sensory data processing, scene interpretation, and automated reasoning. However, their use as assistive devices for people with upper-limb disabilities has become possible with recent advances in soft robotics, that is, interaction control, physical human-robot interaction, and reflex planning. In this context, impedance and reflex-based control has generally been understood to be a promising approach to safe interaction robotics. To create semi-autonomous assistive devices, we propose a decision-and-control architecture for hand-arm systems with soft robotics capabilities, which can then be used via human-machine interfaces (HMIs). We validated the functionality of our approach within the BrainGate2 clinical trial, in which an individual with tetraplegia used our architecture to control a robotic hand-arm system under neural control via a multi-electrode array implanted in the motor cortex. The neuroscience results of this research have previously been published by Hochberg et al. In this paper we present our assistive decision-and-control architecture and demonstrate how the semi-autonomous assistive behavior can help the user. In our framework the robot is controlled through a multi-priority Cartesian impedance controller and its behavior is extended with collision detection and reflex reaction. Furthermore, virtual workspaces are added to ensure safety. On top of this we employ a decision-and-control architecture that uses sensory information available from the robotic system to evaluate the current state of task execution. Based on a set of available assistive skills, our architecture provides support in object interaction and manipulation and thereby enhances the usability of the robotic system for use with HMIs. The goal of our development is to provide an easy-to-use robotic system for people with physical disabilities and thereby enable them to perform simple tasks of daily living. In an exemplary real-world task, the participant was able to serve herself a beverage autonomously for the first time since her brainstem stroke, which she suffered approximately 14 years prior to this research.

TI Tat-NR2B9c prevents excitotoxic neuronal superoxide production SO JOURNAL OF CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW AND METABOLISM LA English DT Article DE DNA damage; glutamate; ischemia; nitric oxide; oxidative stress; stroke ID NMDA RECEPTOR ACTIVATION; NITRIC-OXIDE; NADPH OXIDASE; PROTEIN INTERACTIONS; MICE; NEUROPROTECTION; NEUROTOXICITY AB The Tat-NR2B9c peptide has shown clinical efficacy as a neuroprotective agent in acute stroke. Tat-NR2B9c is designed to prevent nitric oxide (NO) production by preventing postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) binding to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and neuronal nitric oxide synthase; however, PSD-95 is a scaffolding protein that also couples NMDA receptors to other downstream effects. Here, using neuronal cultures, we show that Tat-NR2B9c also prevents NMDA-induced activation of neuronal NADPH oxidase, thereby blocking superoxide production. Given that both superoxide and NO are required for excitotoxic injury, the neuroprotective effect of Tat-NR2B9c may alternatively be attributable to uncoupling neuronal NADPH oxidase from NMDA receptor activation.

TI Insights Into Inpatients With Poor Vision: A High Value Proposition SO JOURNAL OF HOSPITAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID RISK-FACTORS; DELIRIUM; MEDICINE; COSTS AB BACKGROUNDVision impairment is an under-recognized risk factor for adverse events among hospitalized patients, yet vision is neither routinely tested nor documented for inpatients. Low-cost ($8 and up) nonprescription readers may be a simple, high-value intervention to improve inpatients' vision. We aimed to study initial feasibility and efficacy of screening and correcting inpatients' vision. METHODSFrom June 2012 through January 2014 we began testing whether participants' vision corrected with nonprescription lenses for eligible participants failing a vision screen (Snellen chart) performed by research assistants (RAs). Descriptive statistics and tests of comparison, including t tests and (2) tests, were used when appropriate. All analyses were performed using Stata version 12 (StataCorp, College Station, TX). RESULTSOver 800 participants' vision was screened (n=853). Older (65 years; 56%) participants were more likely to have insufficient vision than younger (<65 years; 28%; P<0.001). Nonprescription readers corrected the majority of eligible participants' vision (82%, 95/116). DISCUSSIONAmong an easily identified subgroup of inpatients with poor vision, low-cost readers successfully corrected most participants' vision. Hospitalists and other clinicians working in the inpatient setting can play an important role in identifying opportunities to provide high-value care related to patients' vision.

TI A Patient-Centered Research Agenda for the Care of the Acutely Ill Older Patient SO JOURNAL OF HOSPITAL MEDICINE LA English DT Review ID MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS; INAPPROPRIATE MEDICATION USE; GENERAL-HOSPITAL INPATIENTS; FACULTY-DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM; IMPROVE TRANSITIONAL CARE; DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS; COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT; GERIATRICS EDUCATION; NURSING FACILITIES; MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AB Hospitalists and others acute-care providers are limited by gaps in evidence addressing the needs of the acutely ill older adult population. The Society of Hospital Medicine sponsored the Acute Care of Older Patients Priority Setting Partnership to develop a research agenda focused on bridging this gap. Informed by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute framework for identification and prioritization of research areas, we adapted a methodology developed by the James Lind Alliance to engage diverse stakeholders in the research agenda setting process. The work of the Partnership proceeded through 4 steps: convening, consulting, collating, and prioritizing. First, the steering committee convened a partnership of 18 stakeholder organizations in May 2013. Next, stakeholder organizations surveyed members to identify important unanswered questions in the acute care of older persons, receiving 1299 responses from 580 individuals. Finally, an extensive and structured process of collation and prioritization resulted in a final list of 10 research questions in the following areas: advanced-care planning, care transitions, delirium, dementia, depression, medications, models of care, physical function, surgery, and training. With the changing demographics of the hospitalized population, a workforce with limited geriatrics training, and gaps in evidence to inform clinical decision making for acutely ill older patients, the identified research questions deserve the highest priority in directing future research efforts to improve care for the older hospitalized patient and enrich training.

TI Motion Artifact Reduction in Pediatric Diffusion Tensor Imaging Using Fast Prospective Correction SO JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING LA English DT Article DE diffusion tensor imaging (DTI); prospective motion correction; navigated diffusion sequence (vNav); retrospective motion correction; tractography ID NORMAL BRAIN MATURATION; FRACTIONAL ANISOTROPY; NAVIGATOR ECHOES; HEAD MOTION; MRI; CHILDHOOD; CHILDREN; ARCHITECTURE; DISTORTION; IMAGES AB PurposeTo evaluate the patterns of head motion in scans of young children and to examine the influence of corrective techniques, both qualitatively and quantitatively. We investigate changes that both retrospective (with and without diffusion table reorientation) and prospective (implemented with a short navigator sequence) motion correction induce in the resulting diffusion tensor measures. Materials and MethodsEighteen pediatric subjects (aged 5-6 years) were scanned using 1) a twice-refocused, 2D diffusion pulse sequence, 2) a prospectively motion-corrected, navigated diffusion sequence with reacquisition of a maximum of five corrupted diffusion volumes, and 3) a T-1-weighted structural image. Mean fractional anisotropy (FA) values in white and gray matter regions, as well as tractography in the brainstem and projection fibers, were evaluated to assess differences arising from retrospective (via FLIRT in FSL) and prospective motion correction. In addition to human scans, a stationary phantom was also used for further evaluation. ResultsIn several white and gray matter regions retrospective correction led to significantly (P<0.05) reduced FA means and altered distributions compared to the navigated sequence. Spurious tractographic changes in the retrospectively corrected data were also observed in subject data, as well as in phantom and simulated data. ConclusionDue to the heterogeneity of brain structures and the comparatively low resolution (approximate to 2 mm) of diffusion data using 2D single shot sequencing, retrospective motion correction is susceptible to distortion from partial voluming. These changes often negatively bias diffusion tensor imaging parameters. Prospective motion correction was shown to produce smaller changes.J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2014.

However, although ddPCR has been implemented successfully for detection of rare mutations at pre-determined positions, no ddPCR adaptation for mutation scanning exists. Yet, frequently, clinically relevant mutations reside on multiple sequence positions in tumor suppressor genes or complex hotspot mutations in oncogenes. Here, we describe a combination of coamplification at Lower denaturation temperature PCR (COLD-PCR) with ddPCR that enables digital mutation scanning within approximately 50-bp sections of a target amplicon. Two FAM/HEX-labeled hydrolysis probes matching the wild-type sequence are used during ddPCR. The ratio of FAM/HEX-positive droplets is constant when wild-type amplicons are amplified but deviates when mutations anywhere under the FAM or HEX probes are present. To enhance the change in FAM/HEX ratio, we employed COLD-PCR cycling conditions that enrich mutation-containing amplicons anywhere on the sequence. We validated COLD-ddPCR on multiple mutations in TP53 and in EGFR using serial mutation dilutions and cell-free circulating DNA samples, and demonstrate detection down to approximately 0.2% to 1.2% mutation abundance. COLD-ddPCR enables a simple, rapid, and robust two-fluorophore detection method for the identification of multiple mutations during ddPCR and potentially can identify unknown DNA variants present in the target sequence.

In this paper, we describe the prodromal symptoms of 764 CHR participants recruited in the multi-site North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study (NAPLS). Symptoms were rated on the Scale of Prodromal Symptoms (SOPS) at baseline and 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month follow-ups. Clinical outcome at the 2-year assessment was categorized as psychotic, prodromal progression, symptomatic or in remission. Most of the CHR sample (92%) met criteria for the attenuated positive symptoms syndrome (APSS). Significant improvements in SOPS symptoms were observed over time. Unusual thought content, disorganized communication, and overall ratings on disorganized symptoms differentiated those who transitioned to psychosis from the other clinical outcome groups. Suspiciousness and total positive symptoms differentiated those in remission from the other clinical outcome groups.

TI Teaching Health Care Providers To Provide Spiritual Care: A Pilot Study SO JOURNAL OF PALLIATIVE MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID QUALITY-OF-LIFE; CANCER-PATIENTS; MEDICAL-SCHOOL; END; SUPPORT; ASSOCIATIONS; PHYSICIANS; ILL; PERCEPTIONS; GUIDELINES AB Background: Health care providers' lack of education on spiritual care is a significant barrier to the integration of spiritual care into health care services. Objective: The study objective was to describe the training program, Clinical Pastoral Education for Healthcare Providers (CPE-HP) and evaluate its impact on providers' spiritual care skills. Methods: Fifty CPE-HP participants completed self-report surveys at baseline and posttraining measuring frequency of and confidence in providing religious/spiritual (R/S) care. Four domains were assessed: (1) ability and (2) frequency of R/S care provision; (3) comfort using religious language; and (4) confidence in providing R/S care. Results: At baseline, participants rated their ability to provide R/S care and comfort with religious language as "fair." In the previous two weeks, they reported approximately two R/S patient conversations, initiated R/S conversations less than twice, and prayed with patients less than once. Posttraining participants' reported ability to provide spiritual care increased by 33% (p<0.001). Their comfort using religious language improved by 29% (p<0.001), and frequency of R/S care increased 75% (p<0.001). Participants reported having 61% more (p<0.001) R/S conversations and more frequent prayer with patients (95% increase; p<0.001). Confidence in providing spiritual care improved by 36% overall, by 20% (p<0.001) with religiously concordant patients, and by 43% (p<0.001) with religiously discordant patients. Conclusions: This study suggests that CPE-HP is an effective approach for training health care providers in spiritual care. Dissemination of this training may improve integration of spiritual care into health care, thereby strengthening comprehensive patient-centered care.

Trastuzumab augments the cardiotoxic effects of anthracyclines, but its effect is thought to be at least partially reversible. The objective of this study was to examine the time trends of left ventricular (LV) size and function in a cohort of women treated with anthracyclines and trastuzumab. Methods: Twenty-nine patients >18 years of age with first-time breast cancer treated with anthracyclines and trastuzumab were monitored using echocardiography before, at the completion of, and at a median follow-up of 24.7 months (interquartile range, 15.9-34 months) after the end of their cancer treatment. LV volume, LV ejection fraction, and global peak systolic longitudinal strain and strain rate were measured in the apical four-and two chamber views. Left ventricular ejection fraction was measured using a modified Simpson's biplane method. Results: LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes increased at the end of treatment compared with baseline and did not recover during follow-up. Left ventricular ejection fraction, strain, and strain rate decreased at the end of treatment compared with baseline (from 64 +/- 6% to 59 +/- 8%, from -20.0 +/- 2.5% to -17.6 +/- 2.6%, and from -1.26 +/- 0.23 to -1.13 +/- 0.16 sec(-1), respectively; P < .05 for all parameters) and remained decreased at follow-up. Conclusions: LV dilation and subclinical impairment in cardiac function persists >2 years after the end of anthracycline and trastuzumab treatment, without significant recovery after trastuzumab cessation, suggestive of long-term underlying cardiac damage and remodeling.

Eudragit-encapsulated rapamycin was given orally to trained marmosets in a short-term (3 weeks) and a long-term (14 months) study. Circulating trough rapamycin levels (mean = 5.2 ng/mL; 1.93-10.73 ng/mL) achieved at roughly 1.0 mg/kg/day was comparable to those reported in studies of rodents and within the therapeutic range for humans. Long-term treated animals (6/8) indicated a reduction in mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling as noted by a decrease in the phospho rpS6 to total rpS6 ratio after 2 weeks of treatment. All long-term treated subjects had detectable concentrations of rapamycin in liver (4.7-19.9 pg/mg) and adipose tissue (2.2-32.8 pg/mg) with reduced mammalian target of rapamycin signaling in these tissues. There was no evidence of clinical anemia, fibrotic lung changes, or mouth ulcers. The observed death rate in the long-term study was as expected given the animals' ages. The ability to rapidly and reliably dose socially housed marmosets with an oral form of rapamycin that is well tolerated and that demonstrates a suppression of the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway leads us to conclude that this species offers a viable model for rapamycin testing to establish safety and efficacy for long-term antiaging intervention.

CA Hlth ABC Study TI Association of Hearing Impairment with Declines in Physical Functioning and the Risk of Disability in Older Adults SO JOURNALS OF GERONTOLOGY SERIES A-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND MEDICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Physical function; Physical performance; Epidemiology ID LOWER-EXTREMITY FUNCTION; GAIT SPEED DECLINE; PERFORMANCE BATTERY; BODY-COMPOSITION; UNITED-STATES; SUBSEQUENT DISABILITY; VESTIBULAR FUNCTION; PROGNOSTIC VALUE; HEALTH; SURVIVAL AB Background: Identifying factors associated with functional declines in older adults is important given the aging of the population. We investigated if hearing impairment is independently associated with objectively measured declines in physical functioning in a community-based sample of older adults. Methods: Prospective observational study of 2,190 individuals from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study. Participants were followed annually for up to 11 visits. Hearing was measured with pure-tone audiometry. Physical functioning and gait speed were measured with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Incident disability and requirement for nursing care were assessed semiannually through self-report. Results: In a mixed-effects model, greater hearing impairment was associated with poorer physical functioning. At both Visit 1 and Visit 11, SPPB scores were lower in individuals with mild (10.14 [95% CI 10.04-10.25], p < .01; 7.35 [95% CI 7.12-7.58], p < .05) and moderate or greater hearing impairment (10.04 [95% CI 9.90-10.19], p < .01; 7.00 [95% CI 6.69-7.32], p < .01) than scores in normal hearing individuals (10.36 [95% CI 10.26-10.46]; 7.71 [95% CI 7.49-7.92]). We observed that women with moderate or greater hearing impairment had a 31% increased risk of incident disability (Hazard ratio [HR] = 1.31 [95% CI 1.08-1.60], p < .01) and a 31% increased risk of incident nursing care requirement (HR = 1.31 [95% CI 1.05-1.62], p = .02) compared to women with normal hearing. Conclusions: Hearing impairment is independently associated with poorer objective physical functioning in older adults, and a 31% increased risk for incident disability and need for nursing care in women.

Many OC formulations exist, with generics offering lower cost and comparable efficacy. Certain medical conditions, including hypertension, migraine, breast cancer, and risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), present contraindications. Blood pressure measurement is the only physical examination or testing needed before prescription.

During menopause, women experience a variety of predictable symptoms and conditions related to changes in sex hormone levels and aging. The menopausal transition precedes menopause by several years and is usually characterized by irregularity of the menstrual cycle and by hot flashes and night sweats. After menopause, genitourinary symptoms predominate, including vulvovaginal atrophy and dryness and lower urinary tract symptoms, including urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia. Hormonal treatment is effective for vasomotor and genitourinary symptoms, but the understanding of its impact on cardiovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction, and depression continues to evolve.

Compared to men, women have higher rates of spontaneous HCV clearance after exposure and slower progression to cirrhosis but are more susceptible to liver damage from comorbid alcohol use. Premenopausal women with HCV should be counseled about the risks of antiviral treatment during pregnancy and the potential for vertical transmission of HCV to their offspring.

Common fracture sites are vertebrae, proximal femur, and distal forearm. Osteoporosis is underdiagnosed and undertreated. All women 65 and older should be screened. Consider screening younger postmenopausal women with elevated risk. Osteoporosis is diagnosed based on T score or a fragility fracture. Women with osteoporosis or who have a 10-year risk of any major fracture of 20% or hip fracture of 3% should be evaluated for causes of low bone density and treated with an osteoporosis-specific medication, lifestyle interventions, and calcium and vitamin D intake.

Each consultation has the goal of convening experts to review data and provide evidence-based recommendations to improve practice. In 2012, the selected subject was bladder cancer, a disease which remains a major public health problem with little improvement in many years. The proceedings of the 2nd International Consultation on Bladder Cancer, which included a 'Pathology of Bladder Cancer Work Group,' have recently been published; herein, we provide a summary of developments and consensus relevant to the practicing pathologist. Although the published proceedings have tackled a comprehensive set of issues regarding the pathology of bladder cancer, this update summarizes the recommendations regarding selected issues for the practicing pathologist. These include guidelines for classification and grading of urothelial neoplasia, with particular emphasis on the approach to inverted lesions, the handling of incipient papillary lesions frequently seen during surveillance of bladder cancer patients, descriptions of newer variants, and terminology for urine cytology reporting.

Recent studies have revealed intratumoral heterogeneity as a source of therapeutic resistance. However, it is unclear whether resistance is driven predominantly by pre-existing or de novo alterations, in part because of the resolution limits of next-generation sequencing. To address this, we developed a high-complexity barcode library, ClonTracer, which enables the high-resolution tracking of more than 1 million cancer cells under drug treatment. In two clinically relevant models, ClonTracer studies showed that the majority of resistant clones were part of small, pre-existing subpopulations that selectively escaped under therapeutic challenge. Moreover, the ClonTracer approach enabled quantitative assessment of the ability of combination treatments to suppress resistant clones. These findings suggest that resistant clones are present before treatment, which would make up-front therapeutic combinations that target non-overlapping resistance a preferred approach. Thus, ClonTracer barcoding may be a valuable tool for optimizing therapeutic regimens with the goal of curative combination therapies for cancer.

Although active tumor-mediated immunosuppression may have a role in limiting the efficacy of CAR-T cells(6), functional changes in T lymphocytes after their ex vivo manipulation may also account for the reduced ability of cultured CAR-T cells to penetrate stroma-rich solid tumors compared with lymphoid tissues. We therefore studied the capacity of human in vitro-cultured CAR-T cells to degrade components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In contrast to freshly isolated T lymphocytes, we found that in vitro-cultured T lymphocytes lack expression of the enzyme heparanase (HPSE), which degrades heparan sulfate proteoglycans, the main components of ECM. We found that HPSE mRNA is downregulated in in vitro-expanded T cells, which may be a consequence of p53 (officially known as TP53, encoding tumor protein 53) binding to the HPSE gene promoter. We therefore engineered CAR-T cells to express HPSE and showed their improved capacity to degrade the ECM, which promoted tumor T cell infiltration and antitumor activity. The use of this strategy may enhance the activity of CAR-T cells in individuals with stroma-rich solid tumors.

TI Ca2+ signaling in astrocytes from Ip3r2(-/-) mice in brain slices and during startle responses in vivo SO NATURE NEUROSCIENCE LA English DT Article ID NEURONAL-ACTIVITY; VISUAL-CORTEX; HIPPOCAMPAL ASTROCYTES; RECEPTOR ACTIVATION; CORTICAL ASTROCYTES; SYNAPTIC ACTIVITY; BEHAVIOR; MODULATION; PLASTICITY; GLIA AB Intracellular Ca2+ signaling is considered to be important for multiple astrocyte functions in neural circuits. However, mice devoid of inositol triphosphate type 2 receptors (IP3R2) reportedly lack all astrocyte Ca2+ signaling, but display no neuronal or neurovascular deficits, implying that astrocyte Ca2+ fluctuations are not involved in these functions. An assumption has been that the loss of somatic Ca2+ fluctuations also reflects a similar loss in astrocyte processes. We tested this assumption and found diverse types of Ca2+ fluctuations in astrocytes, with most occurring in processes rather than in somata. These fluctuations were preserved in Ip3r2(-/-) (also known as Itpr2(-/-)) mice in brain slices and in vivo, occurred in end feet, and were increased by G protein-coupled receptor activation and by startle-induced neuromodulatory responses. Our data reveal previously unknown Ca2+ fluctuations in astrocytes and highlight limitations of studies that used Ip3r2(-/-) mice to evaluate astrocyte contributions to neural circuit function and mouse behavior.

The extent to which this translates to disparities in brain structure is unclear. We investigated relationships between socioeconomic factors and brain morphometry, independently of genetic ancestry, among a cohort of 1,099 typically developing individuals between 3 and 20 years of age. Income was logarithmically associated with brain surface area. Among children from lower income families, small differences in income were associated with relatively large differences in surface area, whereas, among children from higher income families, similar income increments were associated with smaller differences in surface area. These relationships were most prominent in regions supporting language, reading, executive functions and spatial skills; surface area mediated socioeconomic differences in certain neurocognitive abilities. These data imply that income relates most strongly to brain structure among the most disadvantaged children. C1 [Noble, Kimberly G.] Columbia Univ, Coll Phys & Surg, New York, NY USA.

Unbiased genetic/RNAi screens are powerful tools to identify the in vivo functions of protein-encoding genes, but not of nonproteinaceous compounds such as lipids. They can, however, identify the biosynthetic enzymes of these compounds-findings that are usually dismissed, as these typically synthesize multiple products. Here, we provide a method using follow-on biosynthetic pathway screens to identify the endpoint biosynthetic enzyme and thus the compound through which they act. The approach is based on the principle that all subsequently identified downstream biosynthetic enzymes contribute to the synthesis of at least this one end product. We describe how to systematically target lipid biosynthetic pathways; optimize targeting conditions; take advantage of pathway branchpoints; and validate results by genetic assays and biochemical analyses. This approach extends the power of unbiased genetic/RNAi screens to identify in vivo functions of non-nucleic acid-based metabolites beyond their metabolic roles. It will typically require several months to identify a metabolic end product by biosynthetic pathway screens, but this time will vary widely depending, among other factors, on the end product's location in the pathway, which determines the number of screens required for its identification.

Models of metastatic progression offer competing views on when dissemination occurs (at an early or late stage of tumour development), whether metastases at different sites arise independently and directly from the primary tumour or give rise to each other, and whether dynamic cell exchange occurs between synchronously growing lesions. Although it is probable that many routes can lead to the establishment of systemic disease, clinical observations suggest that distinct modes of metastasis might prevail in different tumour types. Gaining a more-comprehensive understanding of the evolutionary processes that underlie metastasis is not only relevant from a basic biological perspective, but also has profound clinical implications. The 'tree of life' of metastatic cancer contains answers to many outstanding questions about the development of systemic disease, but has only been reconstructed in a limited number of patients. Here we review available data on the phylogenetic relationships between primary solid tumours and their metastases, and examine to what degree they support different models of metastatic progression. We provide a description of experimental methods for lineage tracing in human cancer, ranging from broad DNA-sequencing approaches to more-targeted techniques, and discuss their respective benefits and caveats. Finally, we propose future research questions in the area of cancer phylogenetics. C1 [Naxerova, Kamila; Jain, Rakesh K.] Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Edwin L Steele Lab Tumour Biol, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

In the central nervous system, these molecular imaging techniques can provide critical insights into neurotransmitter receptors and their occupancy by neurotransmitters or drugs. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies that have investigated neurotransmitters in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), while earlier studies mostly focused on cerebral blood flow and glucose metabolism. The underlying and contributing mechanisms of ASD are largely undetermined and ASD diagnosis relies on the behavioral phenotype. Discovery of biochemical endophenotypes would represent a milestone in autism research that could potentially lead to ASD subtype stratification and the development of novel therapeutic drugs. This review characterizes the prior use of molecular imaging by PET and SPECT in ASD, addresses methodological challenges and highlights areas of future opportunity for contributions from molecular imaging to understand ASD pathophysiology.

A reduction in the nicotine content of cigarettes to non-addictive levels is being considered as a regulatory strategy for reducing tobacco dependence in the United States. We examined whether switching to very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes impairs cognitive functioning in smokers with and without schizophrenia, and-whether nicotine replacement reverses these effects. Methods: Smokers with schizophrenia (SS, n = 29) and control smokers matched on smoking rate but without psychiatric illness (CS, n = 28) smoked usual-brand cigarettes, VLNC cigarettes while wearing 2 placebo patches (PLA), or VLNC cigarettes while wearing 2 nicotine patches totaling 42 mg (NIC) for 5 hr, and then completed computerized assessments of visual sustained attention, motor speed, visual working memory, processing speed, inhibitory control, and response variability. Results: Across conditions, SS were slower than CS in tasks of motor speed and visual working memory, and had poorer target detectability on a visual sustained attention task. Across groups, functioning in domains of visual sustained attention, inhibitory control, processing speed, and response variability was impaired in the VLNC + PLA condition relative to the usual-brand and VLNC + NIC conditions. Conclusions: Dramatically reducing the nicotine content of cigarettes may impair cognitive functioning in heavy smokers with and without schizophrenia, but the use of nicotine replacement while smoking VLNC cigarettes may preserve cognitive functioning in these smokers.

We estimated Veterans Health Administration (VHA) health care costs attributable to cigarette smoking. Methods: VHA survey and administrative data provided the number of Veteran enrollees, current and former smoking prevalence, and the cost of 4 types of care for groups defined by age, gender, and region. Cost and smoking status could not be linked at the enrollee level, so we used smoking attributable fractions estimated in sample of U.S. residents where the linkage could be made. Results: The 7.7 million Veterans enrolled in VHA received $40.2 billion in VHA provided health services in 2010. We estimated that $2.7 billion in VHA costs were attributable to the health effects of smoking. This was 7.6% of the $35.3 billion spent on the types of care for which smoking-attributable fractions could be determined. The fraction of inpatient costs that was attributable to smoking (11.4%) was greater than the fraction of ambulatory care cost attributable to smoking (5.3%). More cost was attributable to current smokers ($1.7 billion) than to former smokers ($ 983 million). Conclusions: The fraction of VHA costs attributable to smoking is similar to that of other health care systems. Smoking among Veterans is slowly decreasing, but prevalence remains high in Veterans with psychiatric and substance use disorders, and in younger and female Veterans. VHA has adopted a number of smoking cessation programs that have the potential for reducing future smoking-attributable costs.

The present study employed the same dataset to assess whether females in the follicular versus luteal phase of the menstrual cycle accounted for the gender differences. Methods: Two objective criteria, onset of menses and luteinizing hormone surge (evaluated via home testing kits), were used to determine whether female smokers were in either the follicular (n = 22) or the luteal (n = 15) phase of their menstrual cycle, respectively. The females and a sample of male smokers (n = 53) were then administered a laboratory-based cue reactivity paradigm that involved assessment of craving, stress, and emotional reactivity in response to counterbalanced presentations of both a personalized stress script and neutral/relaxed script. Results: While there were no significant differences between females in the follicular versus luteal phase on any outcome measure, females in the luteal menstrual phase reported greater craving than males whereas females in the follicular phase reported greater stress and arousal than males and perceived the stress cues as more emotionally aversive than males. Conclusions: This preliminary investigation suggests that gender differences in craving versus affective responding to stress cues may, in part, be explained variation by menstrual cycle phase. Study limitations and implications of the findings for future research and treatment are briefly discussed.

The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and changes over time of ideal Life's Simple Seven (LSS) in African-Americans. Methods. Prospective cohort of 5301 African-Americans from the Jackson Heart Study OHS) from 2000 to 2013. Each of the LSS metrics was categorized as poor, intermediate, or ideal. Results. Among men, the prevalence of having 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 ideal LSS was 3.3%, 23.0%, 33.5%, 24.7%, 11.6%, 3.6%, 0.3%, and 0%, respectively. Corresponding values for women were 1.7%, 26.3%, 33.1%, 22.8%, 11.9%, 3.7%, 0.6%, and 0%. Prevalence of ideal diet was 0.9%. The proportions of those meeting LSS ideal recommendations for cholesterol and fasting glucose declined from the first through third JHS visits across all age groups, whereas prevalence of ideal BMI declined only in participants <40 years at a given visit. Prevalence of ideal blood pressure did not change over time and being ideal on physical activity improved from the first [18.3% (95% CI: 17.3% to 19.3%)] to third visit [24.8% (95% CI: 23.3% to 26.3%)]. Conclusions. Our data show a low prevalence of ideal LSS (especially diet, physical activity, and obesity) in the JHS and a slight improvement in adherence to physical activity recommendations over time.

In recent years, relatively large number of studies has linked cigarette or biomass fuel smoke exposure and various aspects of TB. Our goals are to summarize the significance of the known published studies, graphically represent reports that quantified the association and discuss their potential limitations. PubMed searches were performed using the key words tuberculosis' with cigarette', tobacco', smoke' or biomass fuel smoke.' The references of relevant articles were examined for additional pertinent papers. A large number of mostly case-control and cross-sectional studies significantly associate both direct and second-hand smoke exposure with tuberculous infection, active TB, and/or more severe and lethal TB. Fewer link biomass fuel smoke exposure and TB. While a number of studies interpreted the association with multivariate analysis, other confounders are often not accounted for in these analyses. It is also important to emphasize that these retrospective studies can only show an association and not any causal link. We further explored the possibility that even if CS exposure is a risk factor for TB, several mechanisms may be responsible. Numerous studies associate cigarette and biomass smoke exposure with TB but the mechanism(s) remains largely unknown. While the associative link of these two health maladies is well established, more definitive, mechanistic studies are needed to cement the effect of smoke exposure on TB pathogenesis and to utilize this knowledge in empowering public health policies.

However, evidence to support these recommendations is limited. We evaluate the risk factors and the impact of antimicrobial therapy in patients hospitalized with CAP due to P.aeruginosa. MethodsWe performed a retrospective population-based study of >150 hospitals. Patients were included if they had a diagnosis of CAP and P.aeruginosa was identified as the causative pathogen. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the presence of risk factors and 30-day mortality as the dependent measures. ResultsSeven hundred eighty-one patients with P.aeruginosa pneumonia were identified in a cohort of 62689 patients with pneumonia (1.1%). Of these, 402 patients (0.6%) were included in the study and 379 (0.5%) were excluded due to health care-associated pneumonia or immunosuppression. In patients with CAP due to P.aeruginosa, 272 (67.8%) had no documented risk factors. These patients had higher rates of dementia and cerebrovascular disease. Empirical antibiotic therapy against P.aeruginosa within the first 48h of presentation was independently associated with lower 30-day mortality in patients with CAP due to P.aeruginosa (hazard ratio (HR) 0.42, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.23-0.76) and in patients without risk factors for P.aeruginosaCAP (HR 0.40, 95% CI: 0.21-0.76). ConclusionsRisk factor recommended by current guidelines only detect one third of the patients admitted with CAP due to P.aeruginosa. Risk factors did not define the whole benefit observed due to empirical therapy covering P.aeruginosa. Risk factors recommended by current guidelines only detect one third of the patients admitted with CAP due to P.aeruginosa.Not administrating antibiotics active against P.aeruginosa in the first 48h increases 30-day mortality.

TI Integration of gene expression and GWAS results supports involvement of calcium signaling in Schizophrenia SO SCHIZOPHRENIA RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE GWAS; Gene expression; Pathway analysis ID GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; MULTIPLE BRAIN-REGIONS; RISK LOCI; IDENTIFICATION; METAANALYSIS; DATABASE AB The number of Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) of schizophrenia is rapidly growing. However, the small effect of individual genes limits the number of reliably implicated genes, which are too few and too diverse to perform reliable pathway analysis; hence the biological roles of the genes implicated in schizophrenia are unclear. To overcome these limitations we combine GWAS with genome-wide expression data from human post-mortem brain samples of schizophrenia patients and controls, taking these steps: 1) Identify 36 GWAS-based genes which are expressed in our dataset. 2) Find a cluster of 19 genes with highly correlated expression. We show that this correlation pattern is robust and statistically significant. 3) GO-enrichment analysis of these 19 genes reveals significant enrichment of ion channels and calcium-related processes. This finding (based on analyzing a small number of coherently expressed genes) is validated and enhanced in two ways: First, the emergence of calcium channels and calcium signaling is corroborated by identifying proteins that interact with those encoded by the cluster of 19. Second, extend the 19 cluster genes into 1028 genes, whose expression is highly correlated with the cluster's average profile. When GO-enrichment analysis is performed on this extended set, many schizophrenia related pathways appear, with calcium-related processes enriched with high statistical significance. Our results give further, expression-based validation to GWAS results, support a central role of calcium-signaling in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, and point to additional pathways potentially related to the disease.

PURPOSE: Our primary null hypothesis is that exposure to allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery is not associated with postoperative infections after controlling for patient and treatment characteristics. Second, we assessed if there was a dose-response relationship per unit of blood transfused. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING: This is a retrospective cohort study from a tertiary care spine referral center. PATIENT SAMPLE: A total of 3,721 patients underwent laminectomy and/or arthrodesis of the lumbar spine. OUTCOMES MEASURES: Postoperative infections, pneumonia, endocarditis, meningitis, urinary tract infection, central venous line infection, surgical site infection, and sepsis, within 90 days after lumbar spine surgery were included. METHODS: Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to assess the relationship of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion with specific and overall postoperative infections accounting for age, duration of surgery, duration of hospital stay, comorbidity status, preoperative hemoglobin, sex, type of operation, multilevel treatment, operative approach, and year of surgery. RESULTS: The adjusted odds ratio for exposure to allogeneic blood transfusion from multivariable logistic regression analysis was 2.6 for any postoperative infection (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.7 3.9, p<.001); 2.2 for urinary tract infections (95% CI: 1.3 3.9, p=.004); 2.3 for pneumonia (95% CI: 0.96-5.3, p=.062); and 2.6 for surgical site infection requiring incision and drainage (95% CI: 1.3-5.3, p=.007). Secondary analyses demonstrated no dose-response relationship between the number of blood units transfused and any of the postoperative infections. Because of the low number of endocarditis (1 case, 0.031%), meningitis (1 case, 0.031%), central venous line infection (1 case, 0.031%), and sepsis (14 cases, 0.43%), we abstained from multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Conscious of the limitations of this retrospective study, our data suggest an increased risk of surgical site infection, urinary tract infection, and overall postoperative infections, but not pneumonia, after exposure to allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. These findings should be taken into account when considering blood transfusion and developing transfusion policies for patients undergoing lumbar spine procedures. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Increased blood levels of natriuretic peptides (B-type natriuretic peptide/N-terminal pro-BNP [BNP/NT-proBNP]) have been repeatedly associated with cardioembolic stroke. Here, we evaluate their clinical value as pathogenic biomarkers for stroke through a literature systematic review and individual participants' data meta-analysis. Methods-We searched publications in PubMed database until November 2013 that compared BNP and NT-proBNP circulating levels among stroke causes. Standardized individual participants' data were collected to estimate predictive values of BNP/NT-proBNP for cardioembolic stroke. Dichotomized BNP/NT-proBNP levels were included in logistic regression models together with clinical variables to assess the sensitivity and specificity to identify cardioembolic strokes and the additional value of biomarkers using area under the curve and integrated discrimination improvement index. Results-From 23 selected articles, we collected information of 2834 patients with a defined cause. BNP/NT-proBNP levels were significantly elevated in cardioembolic stroke until 72 hours from symptoms onset. Predictive models showed a sensitivity >90% and specificity >80% when BNP/NT-proBNP were added considering the lowest and the highest quartile, respectively. Both peptides also increased significantly the area under the curve and integrated discrimination improvement index compared with clinical models. Sensitivity, specificity, and precision of the models were validated in 197 patients with initially undetermined stroke with final pathogenic diagnosis after ancillary follow-up. Conclusions-Natriuretic peptides are strongly increased in cardioembolic strokes. Future multicentre prospective studies comparing BNP and NT-proBNP might aid in finding the optimal biomarker, the best time point, and the optimal cutoff points for cardioembolic stroke identification.

Since treatments for this condition are lacking and adult salivary glands have little regenerative capacity, there is a need for cell-based therapies to restore salivary gland function. Development of these treatment strategies requires the establishment of a system that is capable of replicating the salivary gland cell "niche" to support the proliferation and differentiation of salivary gland progenitor cells. In this study, a culture system using three-dimensional silk fibroin scaffolds (SFS) and primary salivary gland epithelial cells (pSGECs) from rat submandibular (SM) gland and parotid gland (PG) was established and characterized. pSGECs grown on SFS, but not tissue culture plastic (TCP), formed aggregates of cells with morphological features resembling secretory acini. High levels of amylase were released into the media by both cell types after extended periods in culture on SFS. Remarkably, cultures of PG-derived cells on SFS, but not SM cells, responded to isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic receptor agonist, with increased enzyme release. This behavior mimics that of the salivary glands in vivo. Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) formed by pSGECs in culture on SFS contained type IV collagen, a major component of the basement membrane. These results demonstrate that pSGECs grown on SFS, but not TCP, retain important functional and structural features of differentiated salivary glands and produce an ECM that mimics the native salivary gland cell niche. These results demonstrate that SFS has potential as a scaffold for creating the salivary gland cell niche in vitro and may provide an approach for inducing multipotent stem cells to provide therapeutically meaningful numbers of salivary gland progenitor cells for regenerating these tissues in patients.

TI The Role of Pathology Correlation Approach in Prostate Cancer Index Lesion Detection and Quantitative Analysis with Multiparametric MRI SO ACADEMIC RADIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Prostate cancer; magnetic resonance imaging; pathology correlation; quantitative imaging ID CONTRAST-ENHANCED MRI; RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY; TUMOR VOLUME; CLINICAL-SIGNIFICANCE; REPEAT SEXTANT; IN-VIVO; SPECIMENS; HISTOPATHOLOGY; VALIDATION; REGISTRATION AB Rationale and Objectives: Development of imaging biomarkers often relies on their correlation with histopathology. Our aim was to compare two approaches for correlating pathology to multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (mpMRI) for localization and quantitative assessment of prostate cancer (PCa) index tumor using whole mount (WM) pathology (WMP) as the reference. Materials and Methods: Patients (N = 30) underwent mpMRI that included diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DOE) MRI at 3 T before radical prostatectomy (RP). RP specimens were processed using WM technique (WMP) and findings summarized in a standard surgical pathology report (SPR). Histology index tumor volumes (HTVs) were compared to MR tumor volumes (MRTVs) using two approaches for index lesion identification on mpMRI using annotated WMP slides as the reference (WMP) and using routine SPR as the reference. Consistency of index tumor localization, tumor volume, and mean values of the derived quantitative parameters (mean apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC], K-trans, and v(e)) were compared. Results: Index lesions from 16 of 30 patients met the selection criteria. There was WMP/SRP agreement in index tumor in 13 of 16 patients. ADC-based MRTVs were larger (P < .05) than DOE-based MRTVs. ADC MRTVs were smaller than HTV (P < .005). There was a strong correlation between HTV and MRTV (Pearson rho > 0.8; P < .05). No significant differences were observed in the mean values of K-trans and ADC between the WMP and SPR. Conclusions: WMP correlation is superior to SPR for accurate localization of all index lesions. The use of WMP is however not required to distinguish significant differences of mean values of quantitative MRI parameters within tumor volume.

TI Perfusion CT Estimates Photosensitizer Uptake and Biodistribution in a Rabbit Orthotopic Pancreatic Cancer Model: A Pilot Study SO ACADEMIC RADIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Pancreatic cancer; CT perfusion; drug delivery; photodynamic therapy; dosimetry; pharmacokinetics ID PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY; COMPUTED-TOMOGRAPHY; TUMOR; ADENOCARCINOMA; IDENTIFICATION; CARCINOMA; AGENT; MRI AB Rationale and Objectives: It was hypothesized that perfusion computed tomography (CT), blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), and vascular permeability surface area (PS) product parameters would be predictive of therapeutic anticancer agent uptake in pancreatic cancer, facilitating image-guided interpretation of human treatments. The hypothesis was tested in an orthotopic rabbit model of pancreatic cancer, by establishing-the model, imaging with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and contrast CT, and spatially comparing the perfusion maps to the ex vivo uptake values of the injected photosensitizer, verteporfin. Materials and Methods: Nine New Zealand white rabbits underwent direct pancreas implantation of VX2 tumors, and CT perfusion or EUS was performed 10 days postimplantation. Verteporfin was injected during CT imaging, and the tissue was removed 1 hour post-injection for frozen tissue fluorescence scanning. Region-of-interest-comparisons of CT data with ex vivo fluorescence and histopathologic staining were performed. Results: Dynamic contrast-enhanced CT showed enhanced BF, BV, and PS in the tumor rim and decreased BF, BV, and PS in the tumor core. Significant correlations were found between ex vivo verteporfin concentration and each of BF, BV, and PS. Conclusions: The efficacy of verteporfin delivery in tumors is estimated by perfusion CT, providing a noninvasive method of mapping photosensitizer dose.

DesignCross-sectional, naturalistic. SettingOut-patient facility. ParticipantsTwenty-four male former long-term AAS users and 36 non-AAS-using weightlifters, recruited by advertisement in Massachusetts, USA. Five of the former users were currently receiving treatment with physiological testosterone replacement, leaving 19 untreated users for the numerical comparisons below. MeasurementsThe Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, questions regarding history of AAS use, physical examination, serum hormone determinations and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). FindingsCompared with the 36 non-AAS-using weightlifters, the 19 untreated former AAS users displayed significantly smaller testicular volumes [estimated difference, 95% confidence interval (CI)=2.3 (0.1, 4.5) ml; P=0.042] and lower serum testosterone levels [estimated difference: 95% CI=131 (25, 227) dl; P=0.009], with five users showing testosterone levels below 200ng/dl despite abstinence from AAS for 3-26 months. Untreated former users also displayed significantly lower scores on the IIEF sexual desire subscale [estimated difference: 95% CI=2.4 (1.3, 3.4) points on a 10-point scale; P < 0.001]. In the overall group of 24 treated plus untreated former users, seven (29%) had experienced major depressive episodes during AAS withdrawal; four of these had not experienced major depressive episodes at any other time. Two men (8%) had failed to regain normal libidinal or erectile function despite adequate replacement testosterone treatment. ConclusionsAmong long-term anabolic-androgenic steroid misusers, anabolic-androgenic steroid-withdrawal hypogonadism appears to be common, frequently prolonged and associated with substantial morbidity.

TI The relationship between promotions committees' identification of problem medical students and subsequent state medical board actions SO ADVANCES IN HEALTH SCIENCES EDUCATION LA English DT Article DE Medical student; Professionalism; Assessment; State medical boards ID UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR; DISCIPLINARY ACTION; PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR; SCHOOL; PERFORMANCE AB Studies have found unprofessional behavior in medical school was associated with disciplinary action by state medical boards. For medical schools, promotions committees are responsible for identifying which students do not demonstrate academic performance and professional behavior acceptable for promotion and graduation. The objective of this study was to determine if student identification by promotions committees during medical school was associated with disciplinary actions by state medical boards later in practice. We reviewed 20 years of promotions committees' records from a single institution and noted students identified by promotions committees for performance or behavioral issues. These were compared with disciplinary action reports from the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) for graduates. Over the two decades, 2,131 students matriculated and 2,078 of these graduated. The promotions committees identified 140 students for poor academic performance or behavioral problems (140/2,078, 6.7 %). Of these, 108 students graduated. FSMB records showed 29 of the 2,078 graduates had sanctions by state boards (29/2,078, 1.4 %). Only four students that had actions by state medical boards were among the 108 graduated students identified by medical school promotions committees (4/108, 3.7 %). Of the students not identified by promotions committees, 25 eventually had disciplinary actions (25/1,970, 1.3 %). The odds of having state medical board action if identified by promotions committees was 3.0 (CI 1.02-8.8, p < 0.05). In conclusion, identification of students by medical school promotions committees was later associated with state medical board actions. However, most graduates with state medical board actions were not identified by medical school promotions committees.

TI A Pilot Trial of Prazosin, an Alpha-1 Adrenergic Antagonist, for Comorbid Alcohol Dependence and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder SO ALCOHOLISM-CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Noradrenergic; Prazosin; Alcohol Dependence; Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; Human Clinical Trial ID RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER; PHARMACOLOGICAL-TREATMENT; PREFRONTAL CORTEX; RECENT PROGRESS; PTSD; NOREPINEPHRINE; INDIVIDUALS; NALTREXONE; VETERANS AB BackgroundPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol dependence (AD) commonly co-occur and are associated with greater symptom severity and costs than either disorder alone. No pharmacologic interventions have been found to decrease both alcohol use and PTSD symptom severity relative to matched placebo. Prazosin, an alpha-1 adrenoreceptor antagonist, has demonstrated the efficacy of reducing PTSD and AD symptoms among individuals with one or the other disorder and may be useful in addressing comorbid PTSD/AD. MethodsPrazosin and matched placebo were compared in the context of an outpatient 6-week double-blind randomized controlled pilot trial involving 30 individuals with comorbid PTSD/AD. Medication was titrated to 4mgqam, 4mgqpm and 8mg qhs by the end of week 2. Participants in both conditions received 5 medical management sessions. Information regarding alcohol use, craving, and PTSD was gathered daily using a telephone interactive voice response system. ResultsParticipants randomized to prazosin had a greater reduction in percent days drinking per week and percent days heavy drinking per week between baseline and week 6 than did placebo participants. No significant differences were detected within or between groups in change from weeks 1 to 6 in total PTSD symptoms. Participants in the prazosin condition reported drowsiness on significantly more days than those in the placebo condition. ConclusionsConsistent with the extant research evaluating medications for comorbid PTSD/AD, the current evaluation of prazosin also found decreased alcohol consumption but no medication effect on PTSD symptomatology.

TI HBV infection is associated with greater mortality in hospitalised patients compared to HCV infection or alcoholic liver disease SO ALIMENTARY PHARMACOLOGY & THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID CHRONIC HEPATITIS-B; UNITED-STATES; NATURAL-HISTORY; REACTIVATION; VIRUS; THERAPY; CANCER; BURDEN; COHORT; RISK AB BackgroundLittle is known about outcomes of Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hospitalisations. AimTo compare the characteristics and outcomes of hospitalised HBV patients to those with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and to examine variables associated with poor outcomes. MethodsUsing the 2011 US Nationwide Inpatient Sample, we identified hospitalised patients with HBV, HCV or ALD-related admissions using ICD-9-CM codes. We compared liver-related complications between the three groups. Multivariable regression was performed to identify factors associated with in-hospital mortality and length of stay. ResultsA total of 22843 HBV, 203300 HCV and 244383 ALD-related discharges were included. Cirrhosis was noted less commonly in those with HBV (69.1%) compared to HCV (83.9%) or ALD (80.9%) (P<0.001). In contrast, hepatocellular cancer and acute liver failure were more common with HBV (16.5% and 5.2%) compared to HCV (10.4% and 2.8%) or ALD (2.5% and 4.9%) respectively (P<0.0001). On multivariable analysis, adjusting for demographics, liver and nonliver comorbidity, HBV infection was associated with higher mortality compared to HCV infection [Odds ratio (OR) 1.21, 95% CI: 1.04-1.39) or ALD (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.05-1.40). Length of hospital stay was greater with HBV compared to HCV (+0.54days) or ALD (+0.36days). Among those with HBV, significant factors associated with mortality included renal failure, hepatocellular cancer, respiratory failure, ascites, coagulopathy and acute liver failure. ConclusionPatients hospitalised with HBV infection represent a particularly high-risk group with poor in-hospital outcomes and increased mortality compared to HCV infection or alcoholic liver disease.

There is minimal data on this occurrence in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. AimTo identify the characteristics of liver enzyme elevations following anti-TNF therapy initiation in IBD. MethodsA retrospective cohort of patients initiating anti-TNF therapy were analysed for new onset alanine transaminase (ALT) elevation (60U/L). We collected data on natural history, outcomes and patient characteristics compared with controls with persistent normal liver enzymes. Likelihood of causal association was assessed using the RUCAM score. ResultsFrom 1753 patients initiating an anti-TNF (1170 infliximab, 575 adalimumab, 8 certolizumab), 102 (6%) developed new onset ALT elevation. In 54 (53%), this could be linked to an alternate aetiology. Among those with idiopathic ALT elevations, the median time to ALT elevation from anti-TNF initiation was 18weeks and median peak ALT was 96U/L. Six underwent liver biopsy, all demonstrating hepatitis with autoimmune features. Compared to controls, cases were on a lower dose of infliximab (5.7 vs. 6.7mg/kg, P=0.02) but were otherwise similar in body mass index, sex and age. On follow-up, 34 continued the anti-TNF, 14 stopped therapy and 4 initiated steroids. Most (85%) normalised their LFTs after a median of 17weeks including 28 (82%) of those who continued anti-TNF therapy. Ten patients were transitioned to a second anti-TNF without recurrence. ConclusionsALT elevations occurred in 6% of IBD patients initiating anti-TNF therapy. Most idiopathic elevations were mild, transient and resolved despite therapy continuation.

TI Assessing the Ability of Comorbidity Indexes to Capture Comorbid Disease in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Burn Injury Population SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE & REHABILITATION LA English DT Article DE Burns; Comorbidities; Inpatient Rehabilitation; Comorbidity Indexes ID TRAUMATIC BRAIN-INJURY; SPINAL-CORD-INJURY; RISK-FACTORS; ACUTE-CARE; STROKE REHABILITATION; CANCER-PATIENTS; ADULT PATIENTS; OUTCOMES; MORTALITY; PREDICTORS AB Objective: Burn patients exhibit comorbidities that influence outcomes. This study examines whether existing comorbidity measures capture comorbidities in the burn inpatient rehabilitation population. Design: Data were obtained from the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation from 2002 to 2011 for adults with burn injury. International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, codes were used to assess three comorbidity measures (Charlson Comorbidity Index, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Comorbidity Tiers). The number of subjects and unique comorbidity codes (>1% of frequency) captured by each comorbidity measure was calculated. Results: The study included 5347 patients with a median total body surface area burn decile of 20%-29%, mean age of 51.6 yrs, and mean number of comorbidities of 7.6. There were 2809 unique International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, comorbidity codes. The Charlson Comorbidity Index, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Comorbidity Tiers did not capture 67%, 27%, and 58% of the subjects, respectively. There were 107 unique comorbidities that occurred with a frequency of greater than 1%. Of these, 67% were not captured in all three comorbidity measures. Conclusions: Commonly used comorbidity indexes do not reflect the extent of comorbid disease in the burn rehabilitation population. Future work is needed to assess the need for comorbidity indexes specific to the inpatient rehabilitation setting.

TI Aspirin Use Among Adults in the US Results of a National Survey SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PREVENTIVE MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID RANDOMIZED-TRIALS; PREVENTION AB Introduction: The use of aspirin in patients without cardiovascular disease remains controversial. Patients' understanding of the risks and benefits of aspirin likely contribute to the decision of whether or not to use aspirin regularly. The purpose of this study is to assess patients' knowledge of aspirin and identify factors contributing to regular use. Methods: A survey of U.S. adults aged 45-75 years was performed to ascertain aspirin use and factors that may be associated with use. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of current use of aspirin among those with a primary prevention indication. The survey was completed in 2012 with data analysis performed in 2013. Results: Among 2,509 respondents, 52% reported current aspirin use. Among 2,039 respondents without a history of cardiovascular disease, current use of aspirin was 47%. Regular use of aspirin for primary prevention was associated with the presence of major cardiovascular disease risk factors (OR = 3.0, 95% CI = 2.4, 3.7), high self-assessed knowledge of aspirin (OR = 9.1, 95% CI = 5.2, 15.7), and having discussed aspirin therapy with a provider (OR = 25.9, 95% CI = 19.7, 34.1). Several markers of healthy lifestyle choices were also associated with regular use. After multivariate analysis, the strongest independent predictor of regular aspirin use was having discussed aspirin therapy with a provider (OR = 23.79, 95% CI = 17.8, 31.5). Conclusions: Approximately half of the nationwide survey of U.S. adults reported regular aspirin use. Among those with a primary prevention indication, having discussed aspirin with a provider was the strongest predictor of regular use.

The American Society of Transplantation convened a multidisciplinary expert panel that reviewed the existing literature and developed consensus recommendations for recipient management following the use of organs from HBV positive donors. Transmission risk is highest with liver donors and significantly lower with non-liver (kidney and thoracic) donors. Antiviral prophylaxis significantly reduces the rate of transmission to liver recipients from isolated HBV core antibody positive (anti-HBc+) donors. Organs from anti-HBc+ donors should be considered for all adult transplant candidates after an individualized assessment of the risks and benefits and appropriate patient consent. Indefinite antiviral prophylaxis is recommended in liver recipients with no immunity or vaccine immunity but not in liver recipients with natural immunity. Antiviral prophylaxis may be considered for up to 1 year in susceptible non-liver recipients but is not recommended in immune non-liver recipients. Although no longer the treatment of choice in patients with chronic HBV, lamivudine remains the most cost-effective choice for prophylaxis in this setting. Hepatitis B immunoglobulin is not recommended. C1 [Huprikar, S.] Icahn Sch Med Mt Sinai, New York, NY 10029 USA. [Danziger-Isakov, L.] Cincinnati Childrens Hosp, Med Ctr, Cincinnati, OH USA.

To date, there has been limited experience in experimental lung transplantation using nonhuman primate models. Therefore, we have endeavored to develop a long-term, nonhuman primate model of orthotopic lung transplantation for the ultimate purpose of designing protocols to induce tolerance of lung grafts. Here, we report our initial results in developing this model and our observation that the nonhuman primate lung is particularly prone to rejection. This propensity toward rejection may be a consequence of 1) upregulated nonspecific inflammation, and 2) a larger number of pre-existing alloreactive memory T cells, leading to augmented deleterious immune responses. Our data show that triple-drug immunosuppression mimicking clinical practice is not sufficient to prevent acute rejection in nonhuman primate lung transplantation. The addition of horse-derived anti-thymocyte globulin and a monoclonal antibody to the IL-6 receptor allowed six out of six lung recipients to be free of rejection for over 120 days.

Though timely revascularization of the ischemic myocardium and current standard therapy reduce acute mortality after MI, long-term morbidity and mortality remain high. During the first 1 to 2 weeks after MI, tissues in the infarcted myocardium undergo rapid turnover, including digestion of extracellular matrix and fibrosis. Post-MI repair is crucial to survival. Monocytes recruited to the infarcted myocardium remove debris and facilitate the repair process. However, exaggerated inflammation may also impede healing, as demonstrated by the association between elevated white blood cell count and in-hospital mortality after MI. Monocytes produced in the bone marrow and spleen enter the blood after MI and are recruited to the injured myocardium in 2 phases. The first phase is dominated by Ly-6c(high) monocytes and the second phase by Ly-6c(low) monocytes. Yet the number of Ly6C(low) monocytes recruited to the infarct is much lower, and Ly6C(high) monocytes can differentiate to Ly6C(low) macrophages in later healing stages. Understanding the signals regulating monocytosis after MI will help design new therapies to facilitate cardiac healing and limit heart failure.

Previously, we demonstrated that rabbits with experimental periodontitis and cholesterol diet exhibit more aortic plaque compared with diet alone. We also showed that a proresolution mediator, Resolvin E1 (RvE1), reverses the experimental periodontitis. Here, we determined whether oral/topical application of RvE1 attenuates aortic atherosclerosis induced by both diet and periodontal inflammation. Approach and Results-Thirty-nine rabbits on a 13-week regimen of 0.5% cholesterol diet were included. Periodontitis was induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis in 24 rabbits and 15 rabbits were placed in no-periodontitis groups. Interventions were no-treatment, vehicle, and RvE1 treatment (4 mu g/site or 0.4 mu g/site) topically applied 3x per week. At 13 weeks, both periodontitis and atherosclerosis were quantified. Atherosclerotic plaques were assessed by Sudan IV staining, histology, and ex vivo MRI. Serum levels of C-reactive protein were evaluated as a measure of systemic inflammation. RvE1, used as an oral/topical agent, significantly diminished atherogenesis and prevented periodontitis (P<0.05). In the absence of periodontal inflammation, oral/topical application of RvE1 resulted in significantly less arterial plaque, a lower intima/media ratio, and decreased inflammatory cell infiltration compared with no-treatment (P<0.001). Local oral RvE1 application significantly reduced systemic levels of C-reactive protein (P<0.05). Conclusions-The results suggest that oral/topical RvE1 attenuates enhanced atherogenesis induced by periodontitis and prevents vascular inflammation and atherogenesis in the absence of periodontitis. The inhibition of vascular inflammation with endogenous mediators of resolution of inflammation provides a novel approach in the prevention of atherogenic events.

We examined the association between NAFLD and vascular function. Approach and Results-We conducted a cross-sectional study of 2284 Framingham Heart Study participants without overt cardiovascular disease who had liver fat attenuation measured on computed tomography and who had measurements of vascular function and covariates. We evaluated the association between NAFLD and vascular function using multivariable partial correlations adjusting for age, sex, cohort, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, body mass index, and visceral adipose tissue. The prevalence of NAFLD in our sample (mean age, 52 +/- 12 years; 51.4% women) was 15.3%. In age-, sex-, and cohort-adjusted analyses, greater liver fat was modestly associated with lower flow-mediated dilation (r=-0.05; P=0.02), lower peripheral arterial tonometry ratio (r=-0.20; P<0.0001), higher carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (r=0.13; P<0.0001), and higher mean arterial pressure (r=0.11; P<0.0001). In multivariable-adjusted models, NAFLD remained associated with higher mean arterial pressure (r=0.06; P=0.005) and lower peripheral arterial tonometry ratio (r=-0.12; P<0.0001). The association between NAFLD and peripheral arterial tonometry ratio persisted after further adjustment for body mass index and visceral adipose tissue. Conclusions-For multiple measures of vascular function, the relationship with NAFLD appeared largely determined by shared cardiometabolic risk factors. The persistent relationship with reduced peripheral arterial tonometry response beyond established risk factors suggests that NAFLD may contribute to microvascular dysfunction.

The factors affecting social and role functioning in early psychosis (EP) following treatment are unclear. We evaluated whether six months of participation in the PREPR, Boston, EP treatment program, part of a public-academic community mental health center, was related to improvements in social and role functioning and whether premorbid adjustment in adolescence, baseline neurocognition, and depression symptoms predicted functional improvement. Method: The Global Functioning Social and Role scales, MATRICS neurocognitive battery, and Calgary Depression Scale were assessed at baseline and six months during naturalistic treatment, while premorbid adjustment was measured at baseline. All participants were psychotic disorder patients in PREPR (n = 46 with social functioning and 47 with role functioning measures at both time points). Results: Large improvements were observed in role functioning (d = 0.84) and medium to large improvements were observed in social functioning (d = 0.70). Models consisting of adolescent premorbid adjustment and change in depression symptoms predicted social and role functioning change, whereas neuropsychological functioning did not. Conclusions: Substantial improvements in social and role functioning were observed among this sample participating in a recovery-based EP program. The impact of clinical factors on social and role functioning was highlighted. Further studies of premorbid adjustment in adolescence and the treatment of depression in EP programs in controlled treatment trials are needed to confirm these findings.

Methods: Bipolar CHOICE was an 11-site comparative effectiveness study of lithium versus quetiapine in symptomatic outpatients (N = 482) with bipolar disorder. At baseline, participants' psychotherapy use within the past 3 months, mood, functioning, and overall health were assessed. Logistic regressions were used to test whether psychotherapy users and non-users differed on various demographic and clinical variables at baseline. Mixed-effects regression was used to determine whether psychotherapy groups differed on response to treatment over the 6-month study. Kaplan-Meier plots and log-rank tests were employed to test whether there were any differences in time to recovery (CGI-BP 2 for at least 8 weeks) between the groups. Results: Thirty one percent of participants reported using psychotherapy services. Psychotherapy users reported greater medication side effect burden than non-users and were more likely to have moderate to high suicide risk and at least one anxiety disorder. Participants not utilizing medications or psychotherapy had greater mania symptom severity, were younger, and less educated than medication only users. Medication only users were more likely to be married than the other participants. Conclusions: These data suggest that a minority of individuals with bipolar disorder attend psychotherapy services, and those that do have greater illness burden.

Macrophage transitions into pro-inflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2) states have been defined predominately by measuring cytokines in culture media (CM). However, temporal relationships between cellular and secreted cytokines have not been established. We measured phenotypic markers and cytokines in cellular and CM of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages at multiple time points following stimulation with IFN-gamma + LPS (M1), IL-4 (M2a) or IL-10 (M2c). Cytokines/proteins in M1-polarized macrophages exhibited two distinct temporal patterns; an early (0.5-3 h), transient increase in cellular cytokines (GM-CSF, KC-GRO, MIP-2, IP-10 and MIP-1 beta) and a delayed (3-6 h) response that was more sustained [IL-3, regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1)]. M2a-related cytokine/cell markers (IGF-1, Fizz1 and Ym1) were progressively (3-24 h) increased post-stimulation. In addition, novel patterns were observed. First, and unexpectedly, cellular pro-inflammatory chemokines, MCP-1 and MCP-3 but not MCP-5, were comparably increased in M1 and M2a macrophages. Second, Vegfr1 mRNA was decreased in M1 and increased in M2a macrophages. Finally, VEGF-A was increased in the CM of M1 cultures and strikingly reduced in M2a coinciding with increased Vegfr1 expression, suggesting decreased VEGF-A in M2a CM was secondary to increased soluble VEGFR1. In conclusion, macrophage cytokine production and marker expression were temporally regulated and relative levels compared across polarizing conditions were highly dependent upon the timing and location (cellular versus CM) of the sample collection. For most cytokines, cellular production preceded increases in the CM suggesting that cellular regulatory pathways should be studied within 6 h of stimulation. The divergent polarization-dependent expression of Vegfr1 may be essential to controlling VEGF potentially regulating angiogenesis and inflammatory cell infiltration in the vascular niche. The current study expands the repertoire of cytokines produced by polarized macrophages and provides insights into the dynamic regulation of macrophage polarization and resulting cytokines, proteins and gene expression that influence vascular inflammation.

TI Impact of surgeon volume on the morbidity and costs of radical cystectomy in the USA: a contemporary population-based analysis SO BJU INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE cystectomy; urinary bladder neoplasms; complications; morbidity; costs and cost analysis ID IN-HOSPITAL MORTALITY; BLADDER-CANCER; OPERATIVE MORTALITY; PROSTATECTOMY OUTCOMES; SURGICAL-PROCEDURES; URINARY-DIVERSION; UNITED-STATES; COMPLICATIONS; CARE; LYMPHADENECTOMY AB Objectives To evaluate the relationship between surgeon volume of radical cystectomy (RC) and postoperative morbidity, and to assess the economic burden of bladder cancer in the USA. Methods We captured all patients who underwent RC (International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, code 57.71) between 2003 and 2010, using a nationwide hospital discharge database. Patient, hospital and surgical characteristics were evaluated. The annual volume of RCs performed by the surgeons was divided into quintiles. Multivariable regression models were developed, adjusting for clustering and survey weighting, to evaluate the outcomes, including 90-day major complications (Clavien grade III-V) and direct patient costs. We adjusted for clustering and weighting to achieve a nationally representative analysis. Results The weighted cohort included 49 792 patients who underwent RC, with an overall 90-day major complication rate of 16.2%. Compared with surgeons performing one RC annually, surgeons performing >= 7 RCs each year had 45% lower odds of major complications (odds ratio [OR] 0.55; P < 0.001) and lower costs by $ 1690 (P = 0.02). Results were consistent when we analysed surgeon volume as a continuous variable and when we examined the surgeons with the highest volumes (= 28 cases annually), which showed markedly lower odds of major complications compared with the surgeons with the lowest volumes (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.31-0.67; P < 0.001). Compared with patients who did not have any complications, those who had a major complication were associated with significantly higher 90-day median direct hospital costs ($43 965 vs $24 341; P < 0.001). Conclusions We showed that there was an inverse relationship between surgeon volume and the development of postoperative 90-day major complication rates as well as direct hospital costs. Centralisation of RC to surgeons with higher volumes may reduce the development of postoperative major complications, thereby decreasing the burden of bladder cancer on the healthcare system.

Patients and Methods We retrospectively analysed 1523 patients with LN-positive UCB, who underwent RC with bilateral pelvic LN dissection. All patients had no evidence of disease after RC. AC was administered within 3 months. Competing-risks models were applied to compare UCB-related mortality. Results Of the 1523 patients, 874 (57.4%) received AC. The cumulative 1-, 2-and 5-year UCB-related mortality rates for all patients were 16%, 36% and 56%, respectively. Administration of AC was associated with an 18% relative reduction in the risk of UCB-related death (subhazard ratio 0.82, P = 0.005). The absolute reduction in mortality was 3.5% at 5 years. The positive effect of AC was detectable in patients aged = 70 years, in women, in pT3-4 disease, and in those with a higher LN density and lymphovascular invasion. This study is limited by its retrospective and non-randomised design, selection bias, the absence of central pathological review and lack in standardisation of LN dissection and cisplatin-based protocols. Conclusion AC seems to reduce UCB-related mortality in patients with LN-positive UCB after RC. Younger patients, women and those with high-risk features such as pT3-4 disease, a higher LN density and lymphovascular invasion appear to benefit most. Appropriately powered prospective randomised trials are necessary to confirm these findings.

It is critical that they understand which publications are scientifically valid, and which analyses are methodologically flawed and not valid. The scientific evidence clearly supports annual mammography screening beginning at the age of 40. The analyses that suggest that screening leads to overdiagnosis of invasive breast cancers are flawed and incorrect. There is little if any overdiagnosis of these cancers. The vast majority of breast cancers occur in women who are not at elevated risk so that excluding them from screening and only screening high risk women will deny the benefits of early detection to most women who develop breast cancer. Guidelines panels should not make decisions that exclude women from screening. Women should be provided with accurate information so that they can make informed decisions and have unimpeded access to screening if that is their preference.

TI Inflammatory breast cancer and development of brain metastases: risk factors and outcomes SO BREAST CANCER RESEARCH AND TREATMENT LA English DT Article DE Inflammatory breast cancer; Brain metastases; Surveillance ID NERVOUS-SYSTEM METASTASIS; PROGNOSTIC-FACTORS; NATURAL-HISTORY; STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY; SINGLE METASTASES; RANDOMIZED-TRIAL; COMPETING RISK; UNITED-STATES; CARCINOMA; SURVIVAL AB Brain metastases are associated with significant morbidity. Minimal research has been conducted on the risk factors for and incidence of brain metastases in women with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). 210 women with Stage III or IV IBC diagnosed from 1997-2011 were identified. Competing risk analysis and competing risks regression were used to calculate the incidence of brain metastases and identify significant risk factors. After a median follow-up in surviving patients of 2.8 years (range 0.6-7.6) and 3.3 years (range 0.2-14.5) in the 47 and 163 patients with (MET) and without (non-MET) metastatic disease at diagnosis, 17 (36 %) and 30 (18 %) developed brain metastases, respectively. The cumulative incidence at 1, 2, and 3 years was 17 % [95 % confidence interval (CI), 8-30], 34 % (95 % CI, 20-48), and 37 % (95 % CI, 22-51) for the MET cohort. The corresponding non-MET values were 4 % (95 % CI, 2-8), 8 % (95 % CI 5-13), and 15 % (95 % CI, 10-22). Once non-MET patients developed extracranial distant metastases, the subsequent 1, 2, and 3 years cumulative incidence of brain metastases was 18 % (95 % CI, 10-28), 25 % (95 % CI, 15-36), and 31 % (95 % CI, 20-43). On multivariate analysis, brain metastases were associated with younger age [hazard ratio (HR), 0.73; 95 % CI, 0.53-1.00; P = 0.05] and distant metastases at diagnosis (HR, 2.33; 95 % CI, 1.11-4.89; P = 0.03). The incidence of brain metastases is high in women with IBC. Particularly for patients with extracranial distant metastases, routine screening with magnetic resonance imaging should be considered.

We evaluated the current trends in utilization of ASD/PFO closure in adults and investigated the effect of annual hospital volume on in-hospital outcomes. Methods: We queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between the years 2001 and 2010 using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9-CM) procedure code for percutaneous closure of ASD/PFO with device. Hierarchical mixed effects models were generated to identify the independent multivariate predictors of outcomes. Results: A total of 7,107 percutaneous ASD/PFO closure procedures (weighted n=34,992) were available for analysis. A 4.7-fold increase in the utilization of this procedure from 3/million in 2001 to 14/million adults in 2010 in US (P<0.001) was noted. Overall, percutaneous ASD/PFO closure was associated with 0.5% mortality and 12% in-hospital complications. The utilization of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) increased 15 fold (P<0.001) during the study period. The procedures performed at the high volume hospitals [2nd (14-37 procedures/year) and 3rd (>38 procedures/year) tertile] were associated with significant reduction in complications, length of stay and cost of hospitalization when compared to those performed at lowest volume centers (<13 procedures/year). Majority (70.5%) of the studied hospitals were found to be performing <10 procedures/year hence deviating from the ACC/AHA/SCAI clinical competency guidelines. Conclusions: Low hospital volume is associated with an increased composite (mortality and procedural complications) adverse outcome following ASD/PFO closure. In the interest of patient safety, implementation of the current guidelines for minimum required annual hospital volume to improve clinical outcomes is warranted. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mutation analysis of pancreatic fluid after secretin stimulation might identify microscopic neoplasias in the pancreatic duct system. We determined the prevalence of mutations in KRAS and guanine nucleotide-binding protein a-stimulating genes in pancreatic juice from subjects undergoing endoscopic ultrasound for suspected pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, or pancreatic adenocarcinoma. METHODS: Secretin-stimulated juice samples were collected from the duodenum of 272 subjects enrolled in Cancer of the Pancreas Screening studies; 194 subjects were screened because of a family history of, or genetic predisposition to, pancreatic cancer, and 78 subjects were evaluated for pancreatic cancer (n = 30) or other disorders (controls: pancreatic cysts, pancreatitis, or normal pancreata, n = 48). Mutations were detected by digital high-resolution melt-curve analysis and pyrosequencing. The number of replicates containing a mutation determined the mutation score. RESULTS: KRAS mutations were detected in pancreatic juice from larger percentages of subjects with pancreatic cancer (73%) or undergoing cancer screening (50%) than controls (19%) (P = .0005). A greater proportion of patients with pancreatic cancer had at least 1 KRAS mutation detected 3 or more times (47%) than screened subjects (21%) or controls (6%, P =. 002). Among screened subjects, mutations in KRAS (but not guanine nucleotide-binding protein a-stimulating) were found in similar percentages of patients with or without pancreatic cysts. However, a greater proportion of patients older than age 50 years had KRAS mutations (54.6%) than younger patients (36.3%) (P = .032); the older subjects also had more mutations in KRAS (P = .02). CONCLUSIONS: Mutations in KRAS are detected in pancreatic juice from the duodenum of 73% of patients with pancreatic cancer, and 50% of asymptomatic individuals with a high risk for pancreatic cancer. However, KRAS mutations were detected in pancreatic juice from 19% of controls. Mutations detected in individuals without pancreatic abnormalities, based on imaging analyses, likely arise from small pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia lesions.

TI ALCHEMIST: Bringing Genomic Discovery and Targeted Therapies to Early-Stage Lung Cancer SO CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY & THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article AB The identification of druggable molecular alterations represents one of the greatest advances in cancer treatment. Such progress is particularly evident for lung cancer, which now has numerous molecularly defined subsets such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements. However, understanding of the significance of these genomic alterations is largely limited to incurable, metastatic lung cancer. ALCHEMIST (Adjuvant Lung Cancer Enrichment Marker Identification and Sequencing Trial) is a National Cancer Institute-sponsored initiative to address these questions in earlier-stage disease.

TI Predictors of Patients Who Present to the Emergency Department With Sepsis and Progress to Septic Shock Between 4 and 48 Hours of Emergency Department Arrival SO CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE admission; emergency department; predictors; progression; sepsis; septic shock ID HEALTH-CARE-SYSTEM; INTENSIVE-CARE; UNITED-STATES; GUIDELINES; MANAGEMENT; OUTCOMES; SUPPORT; RISK AB Objectives: Approximately one in every four patients who present to the emergency department with sepsis progresses to septic shock within 72 hours of arrival. In this study, we describe key patient characteristics present within 4 hours of emergency department arrival that are associated with developing septic shock between 4 and 48 hours of emergency department arrival. Design and Setting: This study was a retrospective chart review study of all patients hospitalized from the emergency department with two or more systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria present within 4 hours of emergency department arrival from September 2010 to February 2011 at two large academic institutions. Patients were excluded if they presented with a ST-elevation myocardial infarction, acute stroke, or trauma; had a cardiac arrest prior to arrival; were pregnant; or admitted from the emergency department psychiatric unit or transferred from an outside hospital. We identified patients with within 4 hours of emergency department arrival and identified those with septic shock at 48 hours after emergency department arrival, using a standard set of guidelines. The primary objective was identifying the number of patients who present with sepsis and progress to septic shock between 4 and 48 hours of emergency department arrival. As to the second objective, we used multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify patient factors associated with the progression of sepsis to septic shock for the aforementioned population. Measurements and Main Results: A total of 18,100 patients were admitted from the emergency department, of which 3,960 patients had two or more systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria, and 1,316 patients had sepsis within 4 hours of emergency department arrival. Although 50 patients presented to the emergency department with septic shock within 4 hours of arrival, 111 patients with sepsis (8.4%) progressed to septic shock between 4 and 48 hours of emergency department arrival. Characteristics associated with the progression of septic shock between 4 and 48 hours of emergency department arrival included female gender (odds ratio, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.02-2.47), nonpersistent hypotension (odds ratio, 6.24; 95% CI, 3.58-10.86), bandemia at least 10% (odds ratio, 2.60; 95% CI, 1.50-4.51), lactate at least 4.0 mmol/L (odds ratio, 5.30; 95% CI, 2.59-10.84), and past medical of coronary artery disease (odds ratio, 2.01; 95% 1.26-3.44). Conclusion: Approximately 12% of septic emergency department patients develop shock within 48 hours of presentation, and more than half of these patients develop shock after the first 4 hours of emergency department arrival. Over a third of patients who have sepsis within 4 hours of emergency department arrival and develop septic shock between 4 and 48 hours of emergency department arrival are not admitted to an ICU.

However, it is not measured routinely in clinical trials and thus altogether ignored in secondary analyses that shape future research directions and clinical practice. This study sought to validate an estimate of dead-space fraction for use in secondary analyses of clinical trials. Design: Analysis of patient-level data pooled from acute respiratory distress syndrome clinical trials. Four approaches to estimate dead-space fraction were evaluated: three required estimating metabolic rate; one estimated dead-space fraction directly. Setting: U. S. academic teaching hospitals. Patients: Data from 210 patients across three clinical trials were used to compare performance of estimating equations with measured dead-space fraction. A second cohort of 3,135 patients from six clinical trials without measured dead-space fraction was used to confirm whether estimates independently predicted mortality. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: Dead-space fraction estimated using the unadjusted Harris-Benedict equation for energy expenditure was unbiased (mean +/- sd Harris-Benedict, 0.59 +/- 0.13; measured, 0.60 +/- 0.12). This estimate predicted measured dead-space fraction to within +/- 0.10 in 70% of patients and +/- 0.20 in 95% of patients. Measured dead-space fraction independently predicted mortality (odds ratio, 1.36 per 0.05 increase in dead-space fraction; 95% CI, 1.10-1.68; p < 0.01). The Harris-Benedict estimate closely approximated this association with mortality in the same cohort (odds ratio, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.21-1.98; p < 0.01) and remained independently predictive of death in the larger Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network cohort. Other estimates predicted measured dead-space fraction or its association with mortality less well. Conclusions: Dead-space fraction should be measured in future acute respiratory distress syndrome clinical trials to facilitate incorporation into secondary analyses. For analyses where dead-space fraction was not measured, the Harris-Benedict estimate can be used to estimate dead-space fraction and adjust for its association with mortality.

TI Reduced Ki67 Staining in the Postmortem State Calls Into Question Past Conclusions About the Lack of Turnover of Adult Human beta-Cells SO DIABETES LA English DT Article ID HUMAN ISLETS; IN-VIVO; REGENERATION; REPLICATION; PREGNANCY; EXPANSION; APOPTOSIS; ESTROGEN; GROWTH; LIFE AB Some report that adult human beta-cells do not replicate, but we postulate this assumption is erroneous due a postmortem decline in replication markers such as Ki67. Our earlier report showed that Ki67-marked beta-cells were rarely found in human cadaveric pancreases but were in the range of 0.2-0.5% in human islets transplanted into mice. This study subjected 4-week-old mice to autopsy conditions that typically occur with humans. Mice were killed, left at room temperature for 3 h, and then placed at 4 degrees C for 3, 9, or 21 h. There was a rapid marked fall in Ki67 staining of beta-cells compared with those fixed immediately. Values at death were 6.9 +/- 0.9% (n = 6) after a 24-h fast, 4.1 +/- 0.9% (n = 6) at 3 h room temperature, 2.7 +/- 0.7% (n = 5) at 6 h, 1.6 +/- 0.6% (n = 5) at 12 h, and 2.9 +/- 0.8% (n = 5) at 24 h. Similar postmortem conditions in newborn pigs resulted in very similar declines in Ki67 staining of their beta-cells. These data support the hypothesis that conclusions on the lack of replication of adult human beta-cells are incorrect and suggest that adult human beta-cells replicate at a low but quantitatively meaningful rate.

Youth were followed 2-6.5 years. Data were analyzed using regression models and survival curve methods.RESULTSParental diabetes (43.6% of parents) was associated with higher baseline HbA(1c) (P < 0.0001) and failure of youths to maintain glycemic control on study treatment (53.6% vs. 38.2% failure rate among those without a diabetic parent, P = 0.0002). Parental hypertension (40.6% of parents) was associated with hypertension in youth during TODAY (40.4% vs. 27.4% of youth with and without parental hypertension had hypertension, P = 0.0008) and with higher youth baseline BMI z scores (P = 0.0038). Parents had a mean baseline BMI of 33.6 kg/m(2). Parental obesity (BMI >30 kg/m(2)) was associated with higher baseline BMI z scores in the youth (P < 0.0001). Depressive symptoms in parents (20.6% of parents) were related to youth depressive symptoms at baseline only (P = 0.0430); subclinical BE in parents was related to the presence of subclinical BE (P = 0.0354) and depressive symptoms (P = 0.0326) in youth throughout the study period.CONCLUSIONSParental diabetes and hypertension were associated with lack of glycemic control, hypertension, and higher BMI z scores in youth. Further research is needed to better understand and address parental biological and behavioral factors to improve youth health outcomes.

TI Optimum BMI Cut Points to Screen Asian Americans for Type 2 Diabetes SO DIABETES CARE LA English DT Article ID IMPAIRED GLUCOSE-TOLERANCE; JAPANESE-AMERICANS; PACIFIC ISLANDERS; NATIVE HAWAIIANS; RISK; PREVALENCE; WOMEN; COMPLICATIONS; INTOLERANCE; FILIPINO AB OBJECTIVEAsian Americans manifest type 2 diabetes at low BMI levels but may not undergo diagnostic testing for diabetes if the currently recommended BMI screening cut point of 25 kg/m(2) is followed. We aimed to ascertain an appropriate lower BMI cut point among Asian-American adults without a prior diabetes diagnosis.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSWe consolidated data from 1,663 participants, ages 45 years, without a prior diabetes diagnosis, from population- and community-based studies, including the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America study, the North Kohala Study, the Seattle Japanese American Community Diabetes Study, and the University of California San Diego Filipino Health Study. Clinical measures included a 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, BMI, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)).RESULTSMean age was 59.7 years, mean BMI was 25.4 kg/m(2), 58% were women, and type 2 diabetes prevalence (American Diabetes Association 2010 criteria) was 16.9%. At BMI 25 kg/m(2), sensitivity (63.7%), specificity (52.8%), and Youden index (0.16) values were low; limiting screening to BMI 25 kg/m(2) would miss 36% of Asian Americans with type 2 diabetes. For screening purposes, higher sensitivity is desirable to minimize missing cases, especially if the diagnostic test is relatively simple and inexpensive. At BMI 23 kg/m(2), sensitivity (84.7%) was high in the total sample and by sex and Asian-American subgroup and would miss only approximate to 15% of Asian Americans with diabetes.CONCLUSIONSThe BMI cut point for identifying Asian Americans who should be screened for undiagnosed type 2 diabetes should be <25 kg/m(2), and 23 kg/m(2) may be the most practical.

It is the difference between 6-month glucose sum values (30-120 min oral glucose tolerance test values) and values predicted for nonprogressors.RESULTSThe PS6M predicted T1D in the PTP (P < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating chacteristic curve was greater (P < 0.001) for the PS6M than for the baseline-to-6-month difference. PS6M values were higher in those with two or more autoantibodies, 30-0 min C-peptide values <2.00 ng/mL, or DPT-1 Risk Scores >7.00 (P < 0.001 for all).CONCLUSIONSThe PS6M is an indicator of short-term glycemic progression to T1D that could be a useful tool for assessing preventive treatments and biomarkers.

In a companion study, our group found that a high-fat diet (HFD) protected mice from T.cruzi-induced myocardial damage and significantly reduced post-infection mortality during acute T.cruzi infection. MethodsIn the present study metabolic syndrome was induced prior to T. cruzi infection by feeding a high fat diet. Also, mice were treated with anti-diabetic drug metformin. ResultsIn the present study, the lethality of T.cruzi (Brazil strain) infection in CD-1 mice was reduced from 55% to 20% by an 8-week pre-feeding of an HFD to induce obesity and metabolic syndrome. The addition of metformin reduced mortality to 3%. ConclusionsIt is an interesting observation that both the high fat diet and the metformin, which are known to differentially attenuate host metabolism, effectively modified mortality in T.cruzi-infected mice. In humans, the metabolic syndrome, as presently construed, produces immune activation and metabolic alterations that promote complications of obesity and diseases of later life, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Using an evolutionary approach, we hypothesized that for millions of years, the channeling of host resources into immune defences starting early in life ameliorated the effects of infectious diseases, especially chronic infections, such as tuberculosis and Chagas disease. In economically developed countries in recent times, with control of the common devastating infections, epidemic obesity and lengthening of lifespan, the dwindling benefits of the immune activation in the first half of life have been overshadowed by the explosion of the syndrome's negative effects in later life.

TI Youth and Parent Measures of Self-Efficacy for Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Survey Psychometric Properties SO DIABETES TECHNOLOGY & THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID EXCHANGE CLINIC REGISTRY; PROBLEM AREAS; YOUNG-PEOPLE; PUMP THERAPY; TYPE-1; CHILDREN; ADOLESCENTS; MANAGEMENT; BURDEN; SYSTEM AB Background: This study aimed to describe the development and psychometric evaluation of novel youth and parent measures of self-efficacy related to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. This evaluation also assessed the predictive validity of the CGM Self-Efficacy (CGM-SE) surveys on CGM use and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Subjects and Methods: Study participants included 120 youth with type 1 diabetes for >= 1 year enrolled in a 2-year randomized clinical trial comparing CGM use with and without the addition of a family-focused CGM behavioral intervention. Youth and parents completed the CGM-SE surveys at randomization after a 1-week run-in to assess CGM tolerability. Analyses of predictive validity excluded the intervention group and included 61 youth in the control group in order to assess CGM use and HbA1c outcomes 3 and 6 months after randomization. Results: At study entry, youth were 12.7 +/- 2.7 years old with a diabetes duration of 6.1 +/- 3.6 years and an HbA1c level of 8.0 +/- 0.8% (64 +/- 9 mmol/mol); blood glucose monitoring frequency was 6.8 +/- 2.4 times/day, and 84% received pump therapy. CGM-SE surveys had acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.80 for youth and 0.82 for parents). Youth reporting higher baseline CGM self-efficacy (CGM-SE score of >80) had significantly greater CGM use and lower HbA1c level after 3 and 6 months compared with youth reporting lower baseline CGM self-efficacy (CGM-SE score of <= 80). Conclusions: The CGM-SE surveys appear to have strong psychometric properties. CGM self-efficacy may offer an opportunity to assess the likelihood of CGM adherence and glycemic improvement in youth with type 1 diabetes in clinical and research settings.

TI The effect of muraglitazar on adiponectin signalling, mitochondrial function and fat oxidation genes in human skeletal muscle in vivo SO DIABETIC MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID TYPE-2 DIABETES-MELLITUS; ACTIVATED PROTEIN-KINASE; PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL; INSULIN SENSITIVITY; GLYCEMIC CONTROL; PPAR-GAMMA; PIOGLITAZONE; METABOLISM; RESISTANCE; RECEPTOR AB AimsThe molecular mechanisms by which muraglitazar (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor / agonist) improves insulin sensitivity in Type2 diabetes mellitus are not fully understood. We hypothesized that muraglitazar would increase expression of 5-monophosphate-activated protein kinase and genes involved in adiponectin signalling, free fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle. MethodsSixteen participants with Type2 diabetes received muraglitazar, 5mg/day (n=12) or placebo (n=4). Before and after 16weeks, participants had vastus lateralis muscle biopsy followed by 180min euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp. ResultsMuraglitazar increased plasma adiponectin (9.01.1 to 17.81.5g/ml, P<0.05), while no significant change was observed with placebo. After 16weeks with muraglitazar, fasting plasma glucose declined by 31%, fasting plasma insulin decreased by 44%, insulin-stimulated glucose disposal increased by 81%, HbA(1c) decreased by 21% and plasma triglyceride decreased by 39% (all P<0.05). Muraglitazar increased mRNA levels of 5-monophosphate-activated protein kinase, adiponectin receptor1, adiponectin receptor2, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha and multiple genes involved in mitochondrial function and fat oxidation. In the placebo group, there were no significant changes in expression of these genes. ConclusionsMuraglitazar increases plasma adiponectin, stimulates muscle 5-monophosphate-activated protein kinase expression and increases expression of genes involved in adiponectin signalling, mitochondrial function and fat oxidation. These changes represent important cellular mechanisms by which dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists improve skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. What's new? Skeletal muscle insulin resistance is a characteristic feature of Type2 diabetes mellitus. Muraglitazar, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor / agonist augments insulin sensitivity, improves -cell function, mobilizes fat out of the liver and muscle, and improves dyslipidaemia. However, the molecular mechanisms by which muraglitazar exert its insulin-sensitizing effect remain unclear. This study demonstrates that muraglitazar increases plasma adiponectin levels and mRNA muscle expression of adiponectin receptors, 5-monophosphate-activated protein kinase and genes involved in mitochondrial function and fat oxidation. To our knowledge, no other study has investigated the molecular actions of muraglitazar in human skeletal muscle. C1 [Coletta, D. K.] Mayo Clin Arizona, Scottsdale, AZ USA. [Coletta, D.

We hypothesise that offspring diabetes risk associated with parental diabetes is mediated by metabolic risk factors. Methods We studied initially non-diabetic participants of the Framingham Offspring Study. Metabolic risk was estimated using beta cell corrected insulin response (CIR), HOMA-IR or a count of metabolic syndrome components (metabolic syndrome score [MSS]). Dietary risk and physical activity were estimated using questionnaire responses. Genetic risk score (GRS) was estimated as the count of 62 type 2 diabetes risk alleles. The outcome of incident diabetes in offspring was examined across levels of parental diabetes exposure, accounting for sibling correlation and adjusting for age, sex and putative mediators. The proportion mediated was estimated by comparing regression coefficients for parental diabetes with (beta (adj)) and without (beta (unadj)) adjustments for CIR, HOMA-IR, MSS and GRS (percentage mediated = 1 - beta(adj)/beta(unadj)). Results Metabolic factors mediated 11% of offspring diabetes risk associated with parental diabetes, corresponding to a reduction in OR per diabetic parent from 2.13 to 1.96. GRS mediated 9% of risk, corresponding to a reduction in OR per diabetic parent from 2.13 to 1.99. Conclusions/interpretation Metabolic risk factors partially mediated offspring type 2 diabetes risk conferred by parental diabetes to a similar magnitude as genetic risk. However, a substantial proportion of offspring diabetes risk associated with parental diabetes remains unexplained by metabolic factors, genetic risk, diet and physical activity, suggesting that important familial influences on diabetes risk remain undiscovered.

Owing to the non-linear distribution of daylight throughout the year, season was dichotomised based on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. Effect modification was assessed using linear regression models fitted with a SNP x season interaction term, marginal effect terms and putative confounding variables, with fasting or 2 h glucose concentrations as outcomes. Results The rs8192440 (CRY1) variant was only associated with fasting glucose among participants (n = 2,318) examined during the light season (beta = -0.04 mmol/l per A allele, 95% CI -0.08, -0.01, p = 0.02, p (interaction) = 0.01). In addition to the established association with fasting glucose, the rs11605924 (CRY2) and rs10830963 (MTNR1B) loci were associated with 2 h glucose concentrations (beta = 0.07 mmol/l per A allele, 95% CI 0.03, 0.12, p = 0.0008, n = 9,605, and beta = -0.11 mmol/l per G allele, 95% CI -0.15, -0.06, p < 0.0001, n = 9,517, respectively), but only in participants examined during the dark season (p (interaction) = 0.006 and 0.04, respectively). Repeated measures analyses including data collected 10 years after baseline (n = 3,500) confirmed the results for the CRY1 locus (p (interaction) = 0.01). Conclusions/interpretation In summary, these observations suggest a biologically plausible season-dependent association between SNPs at CRY1, CRY2 and MTNR1B and glucose homeostasis.

We take a detailed look at the various text forms (short films about discussions between the young people and dying patients, online postings about their experiences, etc.) by asking how the concepts of dying' and death' are new and differently constructed in these various textual artefacts. A formal as well as critical analysis of the semantic content produced by the participants will examine how this content is produced and how new types of sociocultural practices become visible in these texts.

Lineage tracing experiments have demonstrated that interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) arises from a Myf5-positive lineage shared with skeletal muscle and distinct from the majority of white adipose tissue (WAT) precursors. In this study, we sought to investigate the effects of impaired insulin signaling in the Myf5-expressing precursor cells by deleting the insulin receptor gene. Mice lacking insulin receptor in the Myf5 lineage (Myf5IRKO) have a decrease of interscapular BAT mass; however, muscle development appeared normal. Histologically, the residual BAT had decreased cell size but appeared mature and potentially functional. Expression of adipogenic inhibitors preadipocyte factor-1, Necdin, and wingless-type MMTV integration site member 10a in the residual BAT tissue was nonetheless increased compared with controls, and there was an enrichment of progenitor cells with impaired adipogenic differentiation capacity, suggesting a suppression of adipogenesis in BAT. Surprisingly, when cold challenged, Myf5IRKO mice did not show impaired thermogenesis. This resistance to cold could be attributed to an increased presence of uncoupling protein 1-positive brown adipocytes in sc WAT as well as increased expression of lipolytic activity in BAT. These data suggest a critical role of insulin signaling in the development of interscapular BAT from Myf5-positive progenitor cells, but it appears to be dispensable for muscle development. They also underscore the importance of compensatory browning of sc WAT in the absence of BAT for thermoregulation.

TI Vitamin B-12 Conjugation of Peptide-YY3-36 Decreases Food Intake Compared to Native Peptide-YY3-36 Upon Subcutaneous Administration in Male Rats SO ENDOCRINOLOGY LA English DT Article ID GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1; C-FOS EXPRESSION; ORAL DELIVERY; BODY-WEIGHT; BRAIN-STEM; OBESE CHILDREN; RODENT MODELS; VAGUS NERVE; GUT HORMONE; YY3-36 AB Challenges to peptide-based therapies include rapid clearance, ready degradation by hydrolysis/proteolysis, and poor intestinal uptake and/or a need for blood brain barrier transport. This work evaluates the efficacy of conjugation of vitamin B-12 (B-12) on sc administered peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY)(3-36) function. In the current experiments, a B-12-PYY3-36 conjugate was tested against native PYY3-36, and an inactive conjugate B-12-PYYC36 (null control) in vitro and in vivo. In vitro experiments demonstrated similar agonism for the neuropeptide Y2 receptor by the B-12-PYY3-36 conjugate (EC50 26.5nM) comparedwith native PYY3-36(EC50 16.0 nM), with the null control having an EC50 of 1.8 mu M. In vivo experiments were performed in young adult male Sprague Dawley rats (9 wk). Daily treatments were delivered sc in five 1-hour pulses, each pulse delivering 5-10 nmol/kg, by implanted microinfusion pumps. Increases in hindbrain Fos expression were comparable 90 minutes after B-12-PYY3-36 or PYY3-36 injection relative to saline or B-12-PYYC36. Food intake was reduced during a 5-day treatment for both B-12-PYY3-36- (24%, P = .001) and PYY3-36-(13%, P = .008) treated groups relative to baseline. In addition, reduction of food intake after the three dark cycle treatment pulses was more consistent with B-12-PYY3-36 treatment (-26%, -29%, -27%) compared with the PYY3-36 treatment (-3%, -21%, -16%), and B-12-PYY3-36 generated a significantly longer inhibition of food intake vs PYY3-36 treatment after the first two pulses (P = .041 and P = .036, respectively). These findings demonstrate a stronger, more consistent, and longer inhibition of food intake after the pulses of B-12-PYY3-36 conjugate compared with the native PYY3-36.

TI Health-related quality of life impact in a randomised phase III study of the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib versus dabrafenib monotherapy in patients with BRAF V600 metastatic melanoma SO EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CANCER LA English DT Article DE Melanoma; Protein kinase inhibitors; Molecular targeted therapy; Proto-oncogene proteins; B-raf; Dabrafenib; Trametinib ID HIGH-RISK MELANOMA; EUROPEAN-ORGANIZATION; DOSE INTERFERON-ALPHA-2B; QUESTIONNAIRE QLQ-C30; IMPROVED SURVIVAL; MUTATED MELANOMA; CONTROLLED-TRIAL; MEK INHIBITION; CANCER; VEMURAFENIB AB Aim: To present the impact of treatments on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from the double-blind, randomised phase III COMBI-d study that investigated the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib versus dabrafenib monotherapy in patients with BRAF V600E/K-mutant metastatic melanoma. COMBI-d showed significantly prolonged progression-free survival for the combination. Methods: HRQoL was evaluated using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30, a generic cancer questionnaire (completed at baseline, during study treatment, at progression and post progression) assessing various dimensions (global health/QoL, functional status, and symptom impact). A mixed-model, repeated-measures analyses of covariance evaluated differences between arms. Results: Questionnaire completion rates were >95% at baseline, >85% to week 40 and >70% at disease progression. Baseline scores across both arms were comparable for all dimensions. Global health dimension scores were significantly better at weeks 8, 16 and 24 for patients receiving the combination during treatment and at progression. The majority of functional dimension scores (physical, social, role, emotional and cognitive functioning) trended in favour of the combination. Pain scores were significantly improved and clinically meaningful (6-13 point difference) for patients receiving the combination for all follow-up assessments versus those receiving dabrafenib monotherapy. For other symptom dimensions (nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspnoea, and constipation), scores trended in favour of dabrafenib monotherapy. Conclusion: This analysis demonstrates that the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib provides better preservation of HRQoL and pain improvements versus dabrafenib monotherapy while also delaying progression.

TI The RIG-I-like helicase receptor MDA5 (IFIH1) is involved in the host defense against Candida infections SO EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY & INFECTIOUS DISEASES LA English DT Article DE Candida albicans; Host defense; Candidemia; Genetic susceptibility; MDA5; IFIH1 ID CHRONIC MUCOCUTANEOUS CANDIDIASIS; NOSOCOMIAL CANDIDEMIA; STAT1 MUTATIONS; UNITED-STATES; HUMAN GENOME; POLYMORPHISMS; ALBICANS; SUSCEPTIBILITY; RECOGNITION; ASSOCIATION AB The induction of host defense against Candida species is initiated by recognition of the fungi by pattern recognition receptors and activation of downstream pathways that produce inflammatory mediators essential for infection clearance. In this study, we present complementary evidence based on transcriptome analysis, genetics, and immunological studies in knockout mice and humans that the cytosolic RIG-I-like receptor MDA5 (IFIH1) has an important role in the host defense against C. albicans. Firstly, IFIH1 expression in macrophages is specifically induced by invasive C. albicans hyphae, and patients suffering from chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) express lower levels of MDA5 than healthy controls. Secondly, there is a strong association between missense variants in the IFIH1 gene (rs1990760 and rs3747517) and susceptibility to systemic Candida infections. Thirdly, cells from Mda5 knockout mice and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with different IFIH1 genotypes display an altered cytokine response to C. albicans. These data strongly suggest that MDA5 is involved in immune responses to Candida infection. As a receptor for viral RNA, MDA5 until now has been linked to antiviral host defense, but these novel studies show unexpected effects in antifungal immunity as well. Future studies are warranted to explore the potential of MDA5 as a novel target for immunotherapeutic strategies. C1 [Jaeger, M.; Cheng, S-C.; Plantinga, T. S.; Smeekens, S.

TI Vitamin D in childhood and adolescence: an expert position statement SO EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS LA English DT Review DE Vitamin D; 25-Hydroxyvitamin D; Children; Adolescents; Supplementation ID RANDOMIZED-CONTROLLED-TRIAL; SERUM 25-HYDROXYVITAMIN D; BREAST-FED INFANTS; BONE-MINERAL DENSITY; FORMULA-FED INFANTS; D SUPPLEMENTATION; D DEFICIENCY; NUTRITIONAL RICKETS; PRETERM INFANTS; PARATHYROID-HORMONE AB Vitamin D is a key hormone in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism and plays a pivotal role in bone health, particularly during pediatric age when nutritional rickets and impaired bone mass acquisition may occur. Great interest has been placed in recent years on vitamin D's extraskeletal actions. However, while recent data suggest a possible role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of several pathological conditions, including infectious and autoimmune diseases, the actual impact of vitamin D status on the global health of children and adolescents, other than bone, remains a subject of debate. In the meantime, pediatricians still need to evaluate the determinants of vitamin D status and consider vitamin D supplementation in children and adolescents at risk of deficiency. This review is the result of an expert meeting that was held during the congress "Update on vitamin D and bone disease in childhood" convened in Pisa, Italy, in May 2013. Conclusion: The collaboration of the international group of experts produced this "state of the art" review on vitamin D in childhood and adolescence. After dealing with vitamin D status and its determinants, the review outlines the current debate on vitamin D's health benefits, concluding with a practical approach to vitamin D supplementation during childhood and adolescence.

We studied the function of the mouse glycoprotein Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule Family receptor (SLAMF) 4 (encoded by Slamf4) on the surface of CD8 alpha beta alpha beta T-cell receptor (TCR)(+) IELs, and the roles of these cells in homeostasis of the small intestine in mice. METHODS: SLAMF4 CD8(+) alpha beta TCR+ cells isolated from spleens of OT-I Rag1(-/-) mice were induced to express gut- homing receptors and transferred to C57BL/6J mice; levels of SLAMF4(+) cells were measured in small intestine tissues. After administration of anti- CD3 or antigen, with or without anti- SLAM4, to C57BL/6J and Slamf4(-/-) mice, CD8 alpha beta alpha beta TCR+ IELs were collected; cytokine production and cytotoxicity were measured. Depletion of CX3CR1(+) phagocytes was assessed in mice by live- cell confocal imaging or by cytofluorometry; small intestine tissues were analyzed by histology and inflammation was quantified. RESULTS: Splenic CD8(+) alpha beta TCR+ cells began to express SLAMF4 only after migrating to the small intestine. Injection of C57BL/6J mice with anti- SLAMF4 and anti- CD3 increased levels of interleukin 10 and interferon gamma secretion by IEL, compared with injection of anti-CD3 only. Similarly, the number of granzyme B+ cytotoxic CD8(+) alpha beta TCR+ IELs increased in Slamf4(-/-) mice after injection of anti-CD3 and anti-SLAMF4, administration of antigen, or injection of anti-CD3. Surprisingly, in vivo activation of CD8 alpha beta(+) IELs with anti- CD3 or antigen caused transient depletion of CX3CR1(+) phagocytes, which was prolonged by co- injection with anti- SLAMF4 or in Slamf4(-/-) mice. Anti-CD3 aggravated inflammation in the small intestines of Slamf4(-/-) mice and Eat2a(-/-) Eat2b(-/-) mice, indicated by flattened villi and crypt hyperplasia. CONCLUSIONS: In mice, the intestinal environment induces SLAMF4 expression and localization to the surface of CD8(+) alpha beta TCR+ IELs. Signaling via SLAMF4 controls expansion of cytotoxic CD8 alpha beta(+) IELs, which regulate the reversible depletion of lamina propria phagocytes and inflammation in the small intestine.

In the past few decades, findings from extensive epidemiologic and experimental investigations have linked consumption of several foods and nutrients to the risk of colorectal neoplasia. Calcium, fiber, milk, and whole grains have been associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer, and red meat and processed meat have been associated with an increased risk. There is substantial evidence for the potential chemopreventive effects of vitamin D, folate, fruits, and vegetables. Nutrients and foods also may interact, as a dietary pattern, to influence colorectal cancer risk. Diet likely influences colorectal carcinogenesis through several interacting mechanisms. These include the direct effects on immune responsiveness and inflammation, and the indirect effects of overnutrition and obesity-risk factors for colorectal cancer. Emerging evidence also implicates the gut microbiota as an important effector in the relationship between diet and cancer. Dietary modification therefore has the promise of reducing colorectal cancer incidence. C1 [Song, Mingyang] Harvard Univ, Sch Publ Hlth, Dept Nutr, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

TI The Relationship Between the Belief in a Genetic Cause for Breast Cancer and Bilateral Mastectomy SO HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE causal beliefs; illness perceptions; mastectomy; breast cancer; surgery ID CONTRALATERAL PROPHYLACTIC MASTECTOMY; CONSERVATION THERAPY; YOUNG-WOMEN; PERCEPTIONS; ATTRIBUTIONS; SURVIVORS; PREVALENCE; RECURRENCE; MUTATIONS; DECISION AB Objective: Most women develop causal beliefs following diagnosis with breast cancer and these beliefs can guide decisions around their care and management. Bilateral mastectomy rates are increasing, although the benefits of this surgery are only established in a small percentage of women. In this study we investigated the relationship between causal beliefs and the decision to have a bilateral mastectomy. Method: Women (N = 2,269) from the Army of Women's breast cancer research registry completed an online survey. Women were asked what they believed caused their cancer and responses were coded into 8 causal categories. Participants were also asked about the type of surgery they underwent following their breast cancer diagnosis. The odds ratios for having a double mastectomy were calculated for each causal category using random/bad luck as a referent category. Results: Hormonal factors (22%) and genetics (19%) were the most common causal belief, followed by don't know (19%), environmental toxins (11%), negative emotions (9%), poor health behavior (8%), other (6%) and random/bad luck (6%). Compared with the referent category, the odds ratio of having a bilateral mastectomy was significantly higher in both the genetics and hormonal causal belief groups (OR = 2.36, 95% CI [1.38, 4.02] and OR = 1.98, 95% CI [1.16, 3.38], respectively). Conclusions: Beliefs in a genetic cause for breast cancer are common and are associated with high rates of bilateral mastectomy. This is despite evidence that the actual genetic contribution to breast cancer is much lower than perceived and that bilateral mastectomy is, in most cases, unlikely to improve survival.

Method: Adults with Type 2 diabetes (N = 142) were recruited for an intervention study evaluating cognitive-behavioral therapy for adherence and depression. Depressive symptom severity was assessed via semistructured interview. Validated self-reports assessed diabetes-related distress, perceived control over diabetes (perceived control), self-efficacy for diabetes self-management, and medication adherence. Glycemic control was evaluated by hemoglobin A1C. Only baseline data were included in correlational and linear regression analyses. Results: Perceived control was an important mediator of emotional distress for both medication adherence and A1C outcomes. Specifically, regression analyses demonstrated that diabetes distress, but not depression severity, was significantly related to medication adherence and A1C. Self-efficacy and perceived control were also independently associated with medication adherence and A1C. Mediation analyses demonstrated a significant indirect effect for diabetes distress and medication adherence through perceived control and self-efficacy. The relationship between distress and A1C was accounted for by an indirect effect through perceived control. Conclusion: Results demonstrated that diabetes-related emotional distress is associated with poorer treatment adherence and glycemic control among adults with Type 2 diabetes; these relationships were partially mediated through perceived control over diabetes. Perceptions of one's personal ability to influence the course of diabetes may be important in understanding the pathway between emotional distress and poor diabetes-treatment outcomes.

Recent technological advances in DNA sequencing have Led to the commercialization of genetic testing now widely available in clinical practice. In particular, next-generation sequencing allows the large-scale and rapid assessment of entire genomes. Although next-generation sequencing represents a major technological advance, it has introduced numerous challenges with respect to the interpretation of genetic variation and has opened a veritable floodgate of biological data of unknown clinical significance to practitioners. In this review, we discuss current genetic testing indications for inherited arrhythmia syndromes, broadly outline characteristics of next-generation sequencing techniques, and highlight challenges associated with such testing. We further summarize future directions that will be necessary to address to enable the widespread adoption of next-generation sequencing in the routine management of patients with inherited arrhythmia syndromes.

TI CXCR4 Inhibition in Tumor Microenvironment Facilitates Anti-Programmed Death Receptor-1 Immunotherapy in Sorafenib-Treated Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Mice SO HEPATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID FUTURE-DIRECTIONS; CELLS; HYPOXIA; CANCER; ANGIOGENESIS; INFILTRATION; RECRUITMENT; BLOCKADE AB Sorafenib, a broad tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the only approved systemic therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but provides limited survival benefits. Recently, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment strategy, but its role remains unclear in HCCs, which are associated with decreased cytotoxic CD8(+) T-lymphocyte infiltration in both murine and human tumors. Moreover, in mouse models after sorafenib treatment intratumoral hypoxia is increased and may fuel evasive resistance. Using orthotopic HCC models, we now show that increased hypoxia after sorafenib treatment promotes immunosuppression, characterized by increased intratumoral expression of the immune checkpoint inhibitor programmed death ligand-1 and accumulation of T-regulatory cells and M2-type macrophages. We also show that the recruitment of immunosuppressive cells is mediated in part by hypoxia-induced up-regulation of stromal cell-derived 1 alpha. Inhibition of the stromal cell-derived 1 alpha receptor (C-X-C receptor type 4 or CXCR4) using AMD3100 prevented the polarization toward an immunosuppressive microenvironment after sorafenib treatment, inhibited tumor growth, reduced lung metastasis, and improved survival. However, the combination of AMD3100 and sorafenib did not significantly change cytotoxic CD8(+) T-lymphocyte infiltration into HCC tumors and did not modify their activation status. In separate experiments, antibody blockade of the programmed death ligand-1 receptor programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) showed antitumor effects in treatment-naive tumors in orthotopic (grafted and genetically engineered) models of HCC. However, anti-PD-1 antibody treatment had additional antitumor activity only when combined with sorafenib and AMD3100 and not when combined with sorafenib alone. Conclusion: Anti-PD-1 treatment can boost antitumor immune responses in HCC models; when used in combination with sorafenib, anti-PD-1 immunotherapy shows efficacy only with concomitant targeting of the hypoxic and immunosuppressive microenvironment with agents such as CXCR4 inhibitors.

Results from existing functional brain imaging studies using disorder-relevant food- or body-stimuli have been heterogeneous and may be biased due to varying compliance or strategies of the participants. In this study, resting state functional connectivity imaging was used. To explore the distributed nature and complexity of brain function we characterized network patterns in patients with acute AN. Thirty-five unmedicated female acute AN patients and 35 closely matched healthy female participants underwent resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging. We used a network-based statistic (NBS) approach [Zalesky et al., 2010a] to identify differences between groups by isolating a network of interconnected nodes with a deviant connectivity pattern. Group comparison revealed a subnetwork of connections with decreased connectivity including the amygdala, thalamus, fusiform gyrus, putamen and the posterior insula as the central hub in the patient group. Results were not driven by changes in intranodal or global connectivity. No network could be identified where AN patients had increased coupling. Given the known involvement of the identified thalamo-insular subnetwork in interoception, decreased connectivity in AN patients in these nodes might reflect changes in the propagation of sensations that alert the organism to urgent homeostatic imbalances and pain-processes that are known to be severely disturbed in AN and might explain the striking discrepancy between patient's actual and perceived internal body state.

Resting-state functional connectivity analysis of blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging is a useful measure of intrinsic neural functioning. We utilized resting-state functional connectivity modeling to analyze the intrinsic connectivity in patients with Parkinson's disease within a vocalization network defined by a previous meta-analysis of speech (Brown et al., 2009). Functional connectivity of this network was assessed in 56 patients with Parkinson's disease and 56 gender-, age-, and movement-matched healthy controls. We also had item 5 and 18 of the UPDRS, and the PDQ-39 Communication subscale available for correlation with the voice network connectivity strength in patients. The within-group analyses of connectivity patterns demonstrated a lack of subcortical-cortical connectivity in patients with Parkinson's disease. At the cortical level, we found robust (homotopic) interhemispheric connectivity but only inconsistent evidence for many intrahemispheric connections. When directly contrasted to the control group, we found a significant reduction of connections between the left thalamus and putamen, and cortical motor areas, as well as reduced right superior temporal gyrus connectivity. Furthermore, most symptom measures correlated with right putamen, left cerebellum, left superior temporal gyrus, right premotor, and left Rolandic operculum connectivity in the voice network. The results reflect the importance of (right) subcortical nodes and the superior temporal gyrus in Parkinson's disease, enhancing our understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of vocalization impairment in Parkinson's disease.

Thus, developing a framework to predict patient survival for specific mutations in TP53 would be valuable. There are many bioinformatics and functional methods for predicting the phenotypic impact of genetic variation, but their overall clinical value remains unclear. Here, we assess the ability of 15 different methods to predict HNSCC patient survival from TP53 mutation, using TP53 mutation and clinical data from patients enrolled in E4393 by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), which investigated whether TP53 mutations in surgical margins were predictive of disease recurrence. These methods include: server-based computational tools SIFT, PolyPhen-2, and Align-GVGD; our in-house POSE and VEST algorithms; the rules devised in Poeta et al. with and without considerations for splice-site mutations; location of mutation in the DNA-bound TP53 protein structure; and a functional assay measuring WAF1 transactivation in TP53-mutated yeast. We assessed method performance using overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) from 420 HNSCC patients, of whom 224 had TP53 mutations. Each mutation was categorized as "disruptive" or "non-disruptive". For each method, we compared the outcome between the disruptive group vs. the non-disruptive group. The rules devised by Poeta et al. with or without our splice-site modification were observed to be superior to others. While the differences in OS (disruptive vs. non-disruptive) appear to be marginally significant (Poeta rules + splice rules, P = 0.089; Poeta rules, P = 0.053), both algorithms identified the disruptive group as having significantly worse PFS outcome (Poeta rules + splice rules, P = 0.011; Poeta rules, P = 0.027). In general, prognostic performance was low among assessed methods. Further studies are required to develop and validate methods that can predict functional and clinical significance of TP53 mutations in HNSCC patients.

A large number of in silico tools have been employed for the task of pathogenicity prediction, including PolyPhen-2, SIFT, FatHMM, MutationTaster-2, MutationAssessor, Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion, LRT, phyloP, and GERP++, as well as optimized methods of combining tool scores, such as Condel and Logit. Due to the wealth of these methods, an important practical question to answer is which of these tools generalize best, that is, correctly predict the pathogenic character of new variants. We here demonstrate in a study of 10 tools on five datasets that such a comparative evaluation of these tools is hindered by two types of circularity: they arise due to (1) the same variants or (2) different variants from the same protein occurring both in the datasets used for training and for evaluation of these tools, which may lead to overly optimistic results. We show that comparative evaluations of predictors that do not address these types of circularity may erroneously conclude that circularity confounded tools are most accurate among all tools, and may even outperform optimized combinations of tools.

MethodsIn this matched cohort study, medical records of children treated at an academic, child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic were reviewed. Children with caregiver-reported history of prenatal drug exposure were compared with a non-drug-exposed control group being cared for by the same providers. Patients were rated with the Clinical Global ImpressionsSeverity scale (CGI-S) throughout treatment. The changes in pre-treatment and post-treatment CGI-S scores and the total number of medication trials were determined between groups. ResultsThe drug-exposed group (n=30) had a higher total number of lifetime medication trials compared with the non-drug-exposed group (n=28) and were taking significantly more total medications, at their final assessment. Unlike the non-drug-exposed group, the drug-exposed group demonstrated a lack of clinical improvement. ConclusionsThese results suggest that in utero drug-exposed children may be more treatment-refractory to or experience greater side effects from the pharmacologic treatment of psychiatric disorders than controls, although we cannot determine if early environment or drugs exposure drives these findings.

TI Diffusion MRI quality control and functional diffusion map results in ACRIN 6677/RTOG 0625: A multicenter, randomized, phase II trial of bevacizumab and chemotherapy in recurrent glioblastoma SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article DE diffusion MRI; functional diffusion maps; functional diffusion mapping; glioblastoma; magnetic resonance imaging; bevacizumab ID MALIGNANT GLIOMA; SURVIVAL; BIOMARKER; PROGRESSION; PATTERNS; CRITERIA; PREDICT; FDMS AB Functional diffusion mapping (fDM) is a cancer imaging technique that quantifies voxelwise changes in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Previous studies have shown value of fDMs in bevacizumab therapy for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The aim of the present study was to implement explicit criteria for diffusion MRI quality control and independently evaluate fDM performance in a multicenter clinical trial (RTOG 0625/ACRIN 6677). A total of 123 patients were enrolled in the current multicenter trial and signed institutional review board-approved informed consent at their respective institutions. MRI was acquired prior to and 8 weeks following therapy. A 5-point QC scoring system was used to evaluate DWI quality. fDM performance was evaluated according to the correlation of these metrics with PFS and OS at the first follow-up time-point. Results showed ADC variability of 7.3% in NAWM and 10.5% in CSF. A total of 68% of patients had usable DWI data and 47% of patients had high quality DWI data when also excluding patients that progressed before the first follow-up: fDM performance was improved by using only the highest quality DWI. High pre-treatment contrast enhancing tumor volume was associated with shorter PFS and OS. A high volume fraction of increasing ADC after therapy was associated with shorter PFS, while a high volume fraction of decreasing ADC was associated with shorter OS. In summary, DWI in multicenter trials are currently of limited value due to image quality. Improvements in consistency of image quality in multicenter trials are necessary for further advancement of DWI biomarkers.

In the present study we show that MIS type II receptor was highly expressed in AN3CA cells, a cell line derived from human endometrial cancer cell in which MIS-treatment caused a reduction of cell viability, and induced cellular apoptosis and genes involved cell cycle arrest. To understand the genome-wide effects of MIS on gene regulation, we performed serial gene expression analyses from 0 to 96 h at 24 h intervals after treating AN3CA Cells with MIS. Transcriptomic analysis of molecular changes induced by MIS identified 2,688 differentially expressed genes that were significantly up- or down-regulated during the 96 h study period. When the 2,688 differentially expressed genes were mapped to known biological processes, Wnt-, cancer-, proteolysis-, cytoskeleton-, cell cycle-, apoptosis-, and MAPK-signaling pathways emerged as the functions most significantly changed by MIS in AN3CA cells. Furthermore, western blot analysis validated that protein expression of cell cycle inhibitory genes, apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (APAF-1), beta-catenin-interacting protein (ICAT), Rb related protein 130 (p130), and inhibitor of disheveled Dvl and Axin complex (IDAX), were gradually increased over the time of the study, whereas downstream cell cycle activating genes, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and phospho-c-Jun were downregulated in MIS-treated AN3CA cells. These transcriptome analyses support previous observations that MIS functions as a tumor suppressor, potentially by regulating signaling pathways that could contribute to endometrial carcinogenesis, and indicating that MIS should be considered as a potential treatment for endometrial cancer.

Blending of antioxidants (most commonly vitamin E) with UHMWPE resin powder followed by consolidation and uniform radiation cross-linking is currently available for use in both total hips and total knees. It was previously shown that the fatigue resistance of vitamin E-blended and irradiated UHMWPEs could be further improved by spatially manipulating the vitamin E concentration throughout the implant and limiting cross-linking to the surface of the implant where it is necessary for wear resistance. This was possible by designing a low concentration of vitamin E on the surface and higher concentration in the bulk of the implant because cross-linking is hindered in UHMWPE as a function of increasing vitamin E concentration. In this study, we hypothesized that such a surface cross-linked UHMWPE with low wear rate and high fatigue strength could be obtained by limiting the penetration of radiation into UHMWPE with uniform vitamin E concentration. Our hypothesis tested positive; we were able to obtain control of the surface cross-linked region by manipulating the energy of the irradiation, resulting in extremely low wear, and high impact strength. In addition, we discussed alternatives of improving the oxidation resistance of such a material by using additional vitamin E reservoirs. These results are significant because this material may allow increased use of antioxidant-stabilized, cross-linked UHMWPEs in high stress applications and in more active patients.

In this rare disorder, which is caused by GNAS methylation changes, resistance can occur toward other hormones, such as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), that mediate their actions through G protein-coupled receptors. However, these additional laboratory abnormalities are usually not recognized until PTH-resistant hypocalcemia becomes clinically apparent. We now describe four pediatric patients, first diagnosed with subclinical or overt hypothyroidism between the ages of 0.2 and 15 years, who developed overt PTH-resistance 3 to 20 years later. Although anti-thyroperoxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies provided a plausible explanation for hypothyroidism in one of these patients, this and two other patients revealed broad epigenetic GNAS abnormalities, which included loss of methylation (LOM) at exons AS, XL, and A/B, and gain of methylation at exon NESP55; ie, findings consistent with PHP-Ib. LOM at GNAS exon A/B alone led in the fourth patient to the identification of a maternally inherited 3-kb STX16 deletion, a well-established cause of autosomal dominant PHP-Ib. Although GNAS methylation changes were not detected in additional pediatric and adult patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (23 pediatric and 39 adult cases), hypothyroidism can obviously be the initial finding in PHP-Ib patients. One should therefore consider measuring PTH, along with calcium and phosphate, in patients with unexplained hypothyroidism for extended periods of time to avoid hypocalcemia and associated clinical complications.

TI Spp24 Derivatives Stimulate a G(i)-Protein Coupled Receptor-Erk1/2 Signaling Pathway and Modulate Gene Expressions in W-20-17 Cells SO JOURNAL OF CELLULAR BIOCHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN-2; SECRETED PHOSPHOPROTEIN-24 KDA; BMP-BINDING PEPTIDE; RODENT MODEL; GROWTH; SEQUENCE; PHOSPHORYLATION; DIFFERENTIATION; INHIBITORS; CLEAVAGE AB Secreted phosphoprotein 24 kDa (Spp24) is an apatite-and BMP/TGF-beta cytokine-binding phosphoprotein found in serum and many tissues, including bone. N-terminally intact degradation products ranging in size from 14 kDa to 23 kDa have been found in bone. The cleavage sites in Spp24 that produce these short forms have not been definitively identified, and the biological activities and mechanisms of action of Spp24 and its degradation products have not been fully elucidated. We found that the C-terminus of Spp24 is labile to proteolysis by furin, kallikrein, lactoferrin, and trypsin, indicating that both extracellular and intracellular proteolytic events could account for the generation of biologically-active Spp18, Spp16, and Spp14. We determined the effects of these truncation products on kinase-mediated signal transduction, gene expression, and osteoblastic differentiation in W-20-17 bone marrow stromal cells cultured in basal or pro-osteogenic media. After culturing for five days, all forms inhibited BMP-2-stimulated osteoblastic differentiation, assessed as induction of alkaline phosphatase activity, in basal, but not pro-osteogenic media. After 10 days, they also inhibited BMP-2-stimulated mineral deposition in pro-osteogenic media. Spp24 had no effect on Erk1/2 phosphorylation, but Spp18 stimulated short-term Erk1/2, MEK 1/2, and p38 phosphorylation. Pertussis toxin and a MEK1/2 inhibitor ablated Spp18-stimulated Erk 1/2 phosphorylation, indicating a role for G(i) proteins and MEK1/2 in the Spp18-stimulated Erk1/2 phosphorylation cascade. Truncation products, but not full-length Spp24, stimulated RUNX2, ATF4, and CSF1 transcription. This suggests that Spp24 truncation products have effects on osteoblastic differentiation mediated by kinase pathways that are independent of exogenous BMP/TGF-b cytokines. J. Cell.

TI Multicenter Evaluation of the BD Max Enteric Bacterial Panel PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Campylobacter spp. (C. jejuni and C. coli), and Shiga Toxin 1 and 2 Genes SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID REAL-TIME PCR; GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOGEN PANEL; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; STOOL SPECIMENS; INFECTIOUS GASTROENTERITIS; CLINICAL-EVALUATION; ENZYME-IMMUNOASSAY; CULTURE; DIAGNOSIS; PARASITES AB Diarrhea due to enteric bacterial pathogens causes significant morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide. However, bacterial pathogens may be infrequently identified. Currently, culture and enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) are the primary methods used by clinical laboratories to detect enteric bacterial pathogens. We conducted a multicenter evaluation of the BD Max enteric bacterial panel (EBP) PCR assay in comparison to culture for the detection of Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Campylobacter jejuni, and Campylobacter coli and an EIA for Shiga toxins 1 and 2. A total of 4,242 preserved or unpreserved stool specimens, including 3,457 specimens collected prospectively and 785 frozen, retrospective samples, were evaluated. Compared to culture or EIA, the positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) values for the BD Max EBP assay for all specimens combined were as follows: 97.1% and 99.2% for Salmonella spp., 99.1% and 99.7% for Shigella spp., 97.2% and 98.4% for C. jejuni and C. coli, and 97.4% and 99.3% for Shiga toxins, respectively. Discrepant results for prospective samples were resolved with alternate PCR assays and bidirectional sequencing of amplicons. Following discrepant analysis, PPA and NPA values were as follows: 97.3% and 99.8% for Salmonella spp., 99.2% and 100% for Shigella spp., 97.5% and 99.0% for C. jejuni and C. coli, and 100% and 99.7% for Shiga toxins, respectively. No differences in detection were observed for samples preserved in Cary-Blair medium and unpreserved samples. In this large, multicenter study, the BD Max EBP assay showed superior sensitivity compared to conventional methods and excellent specificity for the detection of enteric bacterial pathogens in stool specimens.

TI Nivolumab for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: Results of a Randomized Phase II Trial SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ANTI-PROGRAMMED DEATH-1; PROGNOSTIC-FACTORS; CANCER-IMMUNOTHERAPY; IMMUNE EVASION; T-LYMPHOCYTES; SORAFENIB; THERAPY; TUMORS; GUIDELINES; MECHANISMS AB Purpose Nivolumab is a fully human immunoglobulin G4 programmed death-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor antibody that restores T-cell immune activity. This phase II trial assessed the antitumor activity, dose-response relationship, and safety of nivolumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Patients and Methods Patients with clear-cell mRCC previously treated with agents targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor pathway were randomly assigned (blinded ratio of 1: 1: 1) to nivolumab 0.3, 2, or 10 mg/kg intravenously once every 3 weeks. The primary objective was to evaluate the dose-response relationship as measured by progression-free survival (PFS); secondary end points included objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results A total of 168 patients were randomly assigned to the nivolumab 0.3- (n = 60), 2- (n = 54), and 10-mg/kg (n = 54) cohorts. One hundred eighteen patients (70%) had received more than one prior systemic regimen. Median PFS was 2.7, 4.0, and 4.2 months, respectively (P = .9). Respective ORRs were 20%, 22%, and 20%. Median OS was 18.2 months (80% CI, 16.2 to 24.0 months), 25.5 months (80% CI, 19.8 to 28.8 months), and 24.7 months (80% CI, 15.3 to 26.0 months), respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse event (AE) was fatigue (24%, 22%, and 35%, respectively). Nineteen patients (11%) experienced grade 3 to 4 treatment-related AEs. Conclusion Nivolumab demonstrated antitumor activity with a manageable safety profile across the three doses studied in mRCC. No dose-response relationship was detected as measured by PFS. These efficacy and safety results in mRCC support study in the phase III setting. C1 [Motzer, Robert J.] Mem Sloan Kettering Canc Ctr, New York, NY 10021 USA.

TI Randomized Phase II Trial of Gemcitabine Plus TH-302 Versus Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article ID HYPOXIA-ACTIVATED PRODRUG; TUMOR HYPOXIA; SOLID TUMORS; NECK-CANCER; THERAPY; HEAD AB Purpose TH-302 is an investigational hypoxia-activated prodrug that releases the DNA alkylator bromo-isophosphoramide mustard in hypoxic settings. This phase II study (NCT01144455) evaluated gemcitabine plus TH-302 in patients with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned 1: 1: 1 to gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m(2)), gemcitabine plus TH-302 240 mg/m(2) (G + T240), or gemcitabine plus TH-302 340 mg/m(2) (G + T340). Randomized crossover after progression on gemcitabine was allowed. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included overall survival (OS), tumor response, CA 19-9 response, and safety. Results Two hundred fourteen patients (77% with metastatic disease) were enrolled between June 2010 and July 2011. PFS was significantly longer with gemcitabine plus TH-302 (pooled combination arms) compared with gemcitabine alone (median PFS, 5.6 v 3.6 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.87; P = .005; median PFS for metastatic disease, 5.1 v 3.4 months, respectively). Median PFS times for G + T240 and G + T340 were 5.6 and 6.0 months, respectively. Tumor response was 12%, 17%, and 26% in the gemcitabine, G + T240, and G + T340 arms, respectively (G + T340 v gemcitabine, P = .04). CA 19-9 decrease was greater with G + T340 versus gemcitabine (-5,398 v -549 U/mL, respectively; P = .008). Median OS times for gemcitabine, G + T240, and G + T340 were 6.9, 8.7, and 9.2 months, respectively (P = not significant). The most common adverse events (AEs) were fatigue, nausea, and peripheral edema (frequencies similar across arms). Skin and mucosal toxicities (2% grade 3) and myelosuppression (55% grade 3 or 4) were the most common TH-302-related AEs but were not associated with treatment discontinuation. Conclusion PFS, tumor response, and CA 19-9 response were significantly improved with G + TH-302. G + T340 is being investigated further in the phase III MAESTRO study (NCT01746979).

We performed a systematic review to evaluate its weight loss effect on obese/overweight patients without diabetes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). MethodsLiterature updated to May 5, 2014 from Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and reference lists from relevant articles were identified. RCTs with GLP-1 mimetics treating obese/overweight adults without diabetes for at least 12 weeks were assessed. Studies lacking primary measurements were excluded. Three authors extracted data independently. Either fixed-effect or random-effect models were used to calculate weighted mean differences (WMDs), combined relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) in meta-analyses. Intertrial heterogeneity across studies was examined by I-2 and Q statistics. ResultsA total of 1345 individuals retrieved from eight studies were involved and all included trials were of mild-to-moderate bias risks. Participants in GLP-1RA groups achieved a larger weight loss than those in control groups (-2.85kg, 95%CI -3.55 to -2.14), and liraglutide may work in a dose-dependent fashion. GLP-1RAs also reduced body mass index (BMI) and waist circumferences (WC) and benefited systolic blood pressure and triglyceride regulation. But GLP-1RAs were associated with increased nausea and vomiting events. ConclusionsGLP-1 mimetics induce a weight loss in addition to BMI and WC reduction in obese/overweight adults without diabetes. Further long-term randomized trials and basic studies are required to investigate the mechanisms.

Rs7754580 in CDKAL1 and rs7020996 in CDKN2A/2B were found to be associated with gestational diabetes in Chinese individuals. In order to understand the metabolism mechanism of greatly upregulated maternal insulin signaling during pregnancy and the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes, we investigated the impact of rs7754580 and rs7020996 on gestational insulin regulation and procession. Materials and MethodsWe recruited 1,146 unrelated, non-diabetic, pregnant Han Chinese women (age 28.54.1years, body mass index 21.42.6kg/m(2)), and gave them oral glucose tolerance tests. The indices of insulin sensitivity, insulin disposition, insulin release and proinsulin to insulin conversion were calculated. Rs7754580 in the CDKAL1 gene and rs7020996 in the CDKN2A/2B gene were genotyped. Under an additive model, we analyzed the associations between the variants and gestational insulin indices using logistic regression. ResultsBy adjusting for maternal age, body mass index and the related interactions, CDKAL1 rs7754580 risk alleleC was detected to be associated with increased insulin sensitivity (P=0.011), decreased insulin disposition (P=0.0002) and 2-h proinsulin conversion (P=0.017). CDKN2A/2B rs7020996 risk alleleT was found to be related to decreased insulin sensitivity (P=0.002) and increased insulin disposition (P=0.0001). ConclusionsThe study showed that cell cycle regulating genes might have a distinctive effect on gestational insulin sensitivity, -cell function and proinsulin conversion in pregnant Han Chinese women.

Although cancer recurrence is typically the first concern of the patient and the clinician, toxicities of anticancer therapies must also be considered. Methods: A case of a 49-year-old woman with a distant history of Hodgkin lymphoma with 2 months of progressive dyspnea is presented and discussed. Results: Although the patient was found to have bilateral pleural and pericardial effusions that were concerning for a recurrence of malignancy, analysis and cytology of fluids were negative for cancer. Instead a diagnosis of effusive-constrictive pericarditis secondary to radiation therapy was made. Conclusion: When treating a patient with a history of malignancy who presents with dyspnea, it is important to consider the downstream effects related to cancer treatments, even decades later, to guide specific therapies and to assuage the patient's fears.

TI Severity of leukoaraiosis, leptomeningeal collaterals, and clinical outcomes after intra-arterial therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke SO Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery LA English DT Article ID FINAL INFARCT VOLUME; ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT; THROMBOLYSIS; SELECTION; PREDICTOR; OCCLUSION; IAT AB Background and purpose Leukoaraiosis (LA) is defined as ischemic white matter lesions associated with increased stroke risk and poor post-stroke outcomes. These lesions are likely the result of diffuse angiopathic changes affecting the cerebral small vessels. We investigated whether pre-existing LA burden is associated with outcomes in patients with large cerebral artery occlusion undergoing intra-arterial therapy (IAT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods We analyzed consecutive AIS subjects undergoing IAT from the institutional Get With The Guidelines-Stroke database enrolled between January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2009, who had National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores of >= 8, baseline diffusion weighted imaging volume <= 100 mL, and evidence of proximal artery occlusion (PAO) on pre-IAT computed tomography angiography (CTA). LA volume (LAv) was assessed on fluid attenuated inversion recovery MRI using a validated semi-automated protocol. We used CTA for collateral grade, post-IAT angiogram for recanalization status (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score >= 2b), and the 24 h head CT for symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. Logistic regression was used to determine independent predictors of 90 day post-stroke good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score <= 2) and mortality. Results Increasing LAv independently reduced the odds of good collateral grade (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.73 to 0.98). Good functional outcome was independently predicted by intravenous tissue plasminogen activator use (OR 12.86, 95% CI 2.20 to 76.28), and recanalization status (OR 6.94, 95% CI 1.56 to 30.86). Mortality was independently associated with recanalization status (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.51), age (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.15), and antecedent use of hypoglycemic agents (OR 6.55, 95% CI 1.58 to 54.01). Conclusions Severity of LA is linked to poor collateral grade in AIS patients undergoing IAT for PAO; however, greater LAv appears not to be a contraindication for acute intervention.

TI Posterior thoracic laminoplasty with dorsal, intradural identification of ventral defect and transdural discectomy for a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak: case report SO JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY-SPINE LA English DT Article DE spontaneous intracranial hypotension; thoracic laminectomy; transdural discectomy ID SPONTANEOUS INTRACRANIAL HYPOTENSION; DYNAMIC CT MYELOGRAPHY; EPIDURAL BLOOD PATCH; DISC HERNIATIONS; SURGICAL-TREATMENT; DURAL ENHANCEMENT; CSF LEAKS; LUMBAR; SPINE; PROTRUSIONS AB Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) has been increasingly reported in the literature concomitant with the improved sensitivity of imaging modalities. Although typically associated with meningeal weakening, a handful of cases of SIH secondary to thoracic disc osteophytes have been reported. Five of 7 reported cases were treated with epidural blood patch (EBP) alone while 2 required surgical management. There is no standard operative approach; both anterior and posterolateral approaches can be cumbersome and associated with morbidity, particularly in young, healthy patients. The authors report a case of SIH in which a ventral dural tear secondary to a calcified thoracic disc was repaired via posterior thoracic laminoplasty with dorsal durotomy and intradural exposure of the ventral defect with transdural discectomy followed by primary closure. A 34-year-old man presented with low-pressure headaches following axial load injury from a ski accident 5 years earlier. The patient's symptoms were refractory to a trial of conservative treatment and EBP, and he developed bilateral upper-extremity paresthesias. MRI of the spine demonstrated an extrathecal collection spanning the thoracic spine, and dynamic CT myelography identified contrast extravasation adjacent to a calcified paramedian disc at T9-10. The patient underwent posterior laminoplasty with neuromonitoring. A ventral dural defect was visualized via a dorsal durotomy, the penetrating disc osteophyte was removed transdurally, and the ventral and dorsal dura maters were closed primarily. Both somatosensory and motor evoked potentials were unchanged during surgery. The patient has remained asymptomatic more than 10 months postoperatively and he has resumed work as a surgeon. Cases of SIH secondary to a calcified thoracic disc are rare with little precedent as to optimal surgical intervention. This case illustrates the potential usefulness of posterior laminectomy in nonmyelopathic patients in whom there is no evidence of canal compromise and for whom neuromonitoring is available. Additionally, surgeon experience and patient preference may guide surgical planning. C1 [Fehnel, Katie Pricola; Borges, Lawrence F.] Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Dept Neurosurg, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

TI Tissue-Engineered Bone With 3-Dimensionally Printed beta-Tricalcium Phosphate and Polycaprolactone Scaffolds and Early Implantation: An In Vivo Pilot Study in a Porcine Mandible Model SO JOURNAL OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY LA English DT Article ID MESENCHYMAL STEM-CELLS; PCL-TCP SCAFFOLD; DEFECTS; VITRO; RECONSTRUCTION; AUGMENTATION; CONDYLE; SURGERY; CULTURE; GRAFTS AB Purpose: Deep bone penetration into implanted scaffolds remains a challenge in tissue engineering. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone penetration depth within 3-dimensionally (3D) printed beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) and polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds, seeded with porcine bone marrow progenitor cells (pBMPCs), and implanted early in vivo. Materials and Methods: Scaffolds were 3D printed with 50% beta-TCP and 50% PCL. The pBMPCs were harvested, isolated, expanded, and differentiated into osteoblasts. Cells were seeded into the scaffolds and constructs were incubated in a rotational oxygen-permeable bioreactor system for 14 days. Six 2- x 2-cm defects were created in eachmandible (N= 2 minipigs). In total, 6 constructs were placed within defects and 6 defects were used as controls (unseeded scaffolds, n = 3; empty defects, n = 3). Eight weeks after surgery, specimens were harvested and analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and CD31 staining. Analysis included cell counts, bone penetration, and angiogenesis at the center of the specimens. Results: All specimens (N = 12) showed bone formation similar to native bone at the periphery. Of 6 constructs, 4 exhibited bone formation in the center. Histomorphometric analysis of the H& E-stained sections showed an average of 22.1% of bone in the center of the constructs group compared with 1.87% in the unseeded scaffolds (P <.05). The 2 remaining constructs, which did not display areas of mature bone in the center, showed massive cell penetration depth by DAPI staining, with an average of 2,109 cells/0.57 mm(2) in the center compared with 1,114 cells/0.57 mm(2) in the controls (P <.05). CD31 expression was greater in the center of the constructs compared with the unseeded scaffolds (P <.05). Conclusion: 3D printed beta-TCP and PCL scaffolds seeded with pBMPCs and implanted early into porcine mandibular defects display good bone penetration depth. Further study with a larger sample and larger bone defects should be performed before human applications.

A plastic bone model of a two-part trochanteric fracture was constructed with a Gamma nail implant incorporating RSA markers. The femoral head fragment was attached to a separate rotational table and the femoral shaft was mounted on the micrometer. Three main motions were simulated: Femoral head translation and rotation along the axis of the lag screw and fracture fragment translation along anatomical axes. Accuracy and precision were determined according to ISO 16,087 and ASTM standard F2385-04. Translations along the lag screw axis were measured with a precision within +/- 0.14mm and an accuracy within +/- 0.03mm. With simultaneous translations along all three anatomical axes, lowest precision was measured for the x-axis (+/- 0.29, 0.07mm, respectively), but improved when analyzed as a vector (+/- 0.08, 0.03mm). The precision and accuracy of femoral head rotations were within 0.5 degrees and 0.18 degrees, respectively. The resolution of the RSA method tested in this model was high, though it varied depending on the type of analyzed motion. This information is valuable when selecting and interpreting outcome parameters evaluating implant migration and osteosynthesis stability in future clinical RSA studies.

Since current treatments for discogenic low back pain show poor long-term efficacy, a number of new biological strategies are being pursued. For such therapies to succeed, it is critical that they be validated in conditions that mimic the unique biochemical microenvironment of the nucleus pulposus (NP), which include low oxygen tension. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of oxygen tension on NP cell functional extracellular matrix elaboration in 3D culture. Bovine NP cells were encapsulated in agarose constructs and cultured for 14 or 42 days in either 20% or 2% oxygen in defined media containing transforming growth factor beta-3. At each time point, extracellular matrix composition, biomechanics, and mRNA expression of key phenotypic markers were evaluated. Results showed that while bulk mechanics and composition were largely independent of oxygen level, low oxygen promoted improved restoration of the NP phenotype, higher mRNA expression of extracellular matrix and NP specific markers, and more uniform matrix elaboration. These findings indicate that culture under physiological oxygen levels is an important consideration for successful development of cell and growth factor-based regenerative strategies for the disc.

Preliminary studies suggest an association between vitamin D status and C difficile infections (CDIs). Our goal was to investigate whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are associated with CDI severity. Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients diagnosed with CDI and divided them into 2 severity groups: group A (positive toxin A/B enzyme immunoassay only) and group B (positive toxin A/B enzyme immunoassay with abdominal computed tomography scan findings consistent with colitis). Serum 25(OH)D levels (25(OH)D-3, 25(OH)D-2, and total 25(OH)D) were measured on all patients after diagnosis of CDI. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses to investigate the association between 25(OH)D levels and CDI severity, while adjusting for age, Deyo-Charlson Comorbidity Index, recent hospitalization, and vitamin D supplementation. Results: One hundred patients were enrolled between July 2011 and February 2013. The mean (standard deviation) cohort age and Deyo-Charlson Comorbidity Index were 62 (19) years and 4 (3), respectively; 54% of patients were male. Mean serum total 25(OH)D level was 22 (10) ng/mL. Mean 25(OH)D-3 level was significantly higher in group A (n = 71) than in group B (n = 29): 21 (1) vs 15 (2) ng/mL, respectively (P = .005). There was no observed difference in mean 25(OH)D-2 levels and total 25(OH)D levels between the 2 groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated an association between 25(OH)D-3 levels and CDI severity (adjusted odds ratio, 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.87-0.98). Conclusions: We found a significant inverse association between 25(OH)D-3 levels and CDI severity. Further studies are needed to determine whether vitamin D supplementation can improve outcomes in patients with CDI.

As the number of shoulder replacements performed in the United States continues to rise, measuring the incidence of inpatient SSI after hemiarthroplasty (HSA) and total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), and associated risk factors for infection is worthwhile. Methods: Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), we reviewed 241,193 patients undergoing TSA or reverse TSA and 159,795 undergoing HSA between 2002 and 2011 and identified patients with an associated diagnosis of SSI during the admission. Demographic characteristics, preoperative diagnoses, further surgical procedures, associated comorbidities, and in-hospital events associated with SSI were sought in multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: An in-hospital SSI developed in 0.08% of patients undergoing TSA or reverse TSA and in 0.11% of patients undergoing HSA. Independent risk factors for inpatient SSI included TSA vs HSA (odds ratio [OR], 1.83), Medicaid insurance vs private insurance (OR, 3.93), diagnosis of fracture nonunion (OR, 5.76), avascular necrosis (OR 2.71), or proximal humeral fracture (OR, 2.62) vs primary osteoarthritis, comorbidities, in-hospital events (blood transfusion, pneumonia, and acute renal failure), and increased duration of hospital stay. Conclusions: The small percentage of SSI that occurs during the initial inpatient stay after shoulder arthroplasty is related to diagnoses other than primary osteoarthritis in more infirm patients with lowincome government insurance (Medicaid). Patients considering shoulder arthroplasty can use this information to help decide between the potential improvement in comfort and function of the shoulder and the potential for major adverse events such as infection.

The Action for Health in Diabetes (Look AHEAD) trial implemented a partial meal replacement plan in the Intensive Lifestyle Intervention. Objective To compare dietary intake and percent meeting fat-related and food group dietary recommendations in Intensive Lifestyle Intervention and Diabetes Support and Education groups at 12 months. Design A randomized controlled trial comparing Intensive Lifestyle Intervention with Diabetes Support and Education at 0 and 12 months. Participants/setting From 16 US sites, the first 50% of participants (aged 45 to 76 years, overweight or obese, with type 2 diabetes) were invited to complete dietary assessments. Complete 0-and 12-month dietary assessments (collected between 2001 and 2004) were available for 2,397 participants (46.6% of total participants), with 1,186 randomized to Diabetes Support and Education group and 1,211 randomized to Intensive Lifestyle Intervention group. Main outcome measures A food frequency questionnaire assessed intake: energy; percent energy from protein, fat, carbohydrate, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and saturated fats; trans-fatty acids; cholesterol; fiber; weekly meal replacements; and daily servings from food groups from the Food Guide Pyramid. Statistical analyses performed Mixed-factor analyses of covariance, using Proc MIXED with a repeated statement, with age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, and income controlled. Unadjusted chi(2) tests compared percent meeting fat-related and food group recommendations at 12 months. Results At 12 months, Intensive Lifestyle Intervention participants had a significantly lower fat and cholesterol intake and greater fiber intake than Diabetes Support and Education participants. Intensive Lifestyle Intervention participants consumed more servings per day of fruits; vegetables; and milk, yogurt, and cheese; and fewer servings per day of fats, oils, and sweets than Diabetes Support and Education participants. A greater percentage of Intensive Lifestyle Intervention participants than Diabetes Support and Education participants met fat-related and most food group recommendations. Within Intensive Lifestyle Intervention, a greater percentage of participants consuming two or more meal replacements per day than participants consuming less than one meal replacement per day met most fat-related and food group recommendations. Conclusions The partial meal replacement plan consumed by Intensive Lifestyle Intervention participants was related to superior diet quality.

The biological mechanisms underlying PNI remain unclear although several lines of evidence implicate neurotrophins and their receptors. Objectives: We investigated the expression of p75NGFR and TrkA, and the presence of functional RET polymorphism (RETp) as they relate to PNI in desmoplastic melanoma. Methods: In all, 43 cases of desmoplastic melanoma were immunohistochemically evaluated for TrkA and p75NGFR expression and RETp was detected by direct DNA sequencing. Results: PNI was present in 67% of cases. On univariate analysis, p75NGFR was associated with PNI (expression detected in 79% of PNI-positive cases compared with 36% of PNI-negative cases, P=.005), increased Breslow depth (P=.007), and greater Clark level (P=.01). RETp was noted in 28% of cases but was not significantly associated with PNI (P=.27) or other histopathologic variables. TrkA expression was absent in all cases. PNI was associated with increased Breslow depth and Clark level (P=.01 and P=.009, respectively). Controlling for the association between p75NGFR and depth, p75NGFR remained associated with an increased propensity for PNI (odds ratio 4.68, P=.04). Limitations: The sample size was limited. Conclusion: In desmoplastic melanoma, p75NGFR expression is significantly associated with PNI and a more locally aggressive phenotype.

Oncocytic-type IPMN (O-IPMN) seems to have a unique natural history, but not much information is available because of its rarity. We sought to describe the characteristics of a cohort of patients resected for O-IPMNs, focusing on their long-term outcomes after surgery. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective review of the demographics, clinical presentation, pathology, and survival of a cohort of patients resected for IPMN between 1990 and 2013, comparing O-IPMN with other IPMN subtypes. RESULTS: Eighteen of 400 patients (4.5%) who underwent resection for IPMN had the oncocytic subtype. Compared with other IPMN patients, those with O-IPMNs were more likely to be male (72% vs 45%; p = 0.02) and to have main pancreatic duct involvement (72% vs 42%; p = 0.01). Oncocytic IPMNs occurred in asymptomatic individuals in 67% of cases. They had either invasive carcinoma (61%) or high-grade dysplasia (39%), and the proportions in other epithelial subtypes were 19% and 21%, respectively (p < 0.001). After resection, the 10-year recurrence rate for O-IPMNs was 46%. Recurrences occurred up to 11 years after the initial resection and a completion total pancreatectomy was performed in 4 patients. At a median follow-up of 7 years, no patients with O-IPMN had died from the disease. CONCLUSIONS: Oncocytic IPMN is a unique tumor subtype that occurs mostly in the main pancreatic duct and is malignant. Recurrences after resection are not uncommon and can occur more than 10 years after the initial resection. Reoperations for recurrent O-IPMN are often feasible and have excellent results in terms of survival.

TI Identifying Potentially Preventable Emergency Department Visits by Nursing Home Residents in the United States SO Journal of the American Medical Directors Association LA English DT Article DE Preventable emergency visit; nursing home resident; emergency department utilization ID LONG-STAY RESIDENTS; AVOIDABLE HOSPITALIZATIONS; INAPPROPRIATE MEDICATIONS; COMMUNICATION; CONSEQUENCES; FACILITY; CRITERIA; ADULTS; RISK AB Objectives: To identify and describe potentially preventable emergency department (ED) visits by nursing home (NH) residents in the United States. These visits are important because they are common, frequently lead to hospitalization, and can be associated with significant cost to the patient and the health care system. Design: Retrospective analysis of the 2005-2010 National Hospital Ambulatory Care Survey (NHAMCS), comparing ED visits by nursing home residents that did not lead to hospital admission (potentially preventable) with those that led to admission (less likely preventable). Setting: Nationally representative sample of US EDs; federal hospitals and hospitals with fewer than 6 beds were excluded. Participants: Older (age >= 65 years) NH residents with an ED visit during this time period. Measurements: Patient demographics, ED visit information including testing performed, interventions (both procedures and medications) provided, and diagnoses treated. Results: Older NH residents accounted for 3857 of 208,956 ED visits during the time period of interest (1.8%). When weighted to be nationally representative, these represent 13.97 million ED visits, equivalent to 1.8 ED visits annually per NH resident in the United States. More than half of visits (53.5%) did not lead to hospital admission; of those discharged from the ED, 62.8% had normal vital signs on presentation and 18.9% did not have any diagnostic testing before ED discharge. Injuries were 1.78 times more likely to be discharged than admitted (44.8% versus 25.3%, respectively, P < .001), whereas infections were 2.06 times as likely to be admitted as discharged (22.9% versus 11.1%, respectively). Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed in 25.4% and 30.1% of older NH residents who were discharged from the ED and admitted to the hospital, respectively, and more than 70% of these were CTs of the head. NH residents received centrally acting, sedating medications before ED discharge in 9.4% of visits. Conclusion: This nationally representative sample of older NH residents suggests ED visits for injury, those that are associated with normal triage vital signs, and those that are not associated with any diagnostic testing are potentially preventable. Those discharged from the ED often undergo important testing and receive medications that may alter their physical examination on return to the nursing facility, highlighting the need for seamless communication of the ED course to NHs.

TI The natural history of medically managed acute type B aortic dissection SO JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY LA English DT Article ID INTERNATIONAL REGISTRY; STENT GRAFTS; ANEURYSMS; OUTCOMES; THERAPY; REPAIR; TRIAL; IRAD; SURVIVAL; INSIGHTS AB Objective: Although medical management of acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection remains the standard of care, contemporary data regarding the natural history of medically treated patients are sparse. The goal of this study was to evaluate the natural history of patients with acute type B aortic dissection who were initially managed with medical therapy alone. Methods: All patients with acute type B aortic dissection who were initially managed medically between March 1999 and March 2011 were included. Failure of medical therapy was defined as any death or aorta-related intervention. Early failure occurred within 15 days of presentation. Predictors of long-term outcomes were determined using backward stepwise regression. Results: A total of 298 patients with medically managed acute type B dissections were identified. The cohort had an average age of 65.9 years at presentation and was 61.7% male. There were 174 (58.4%) failures including 119 deaths and 87 interventions (24 endovascular, 63 open); 57 (66%) interventions were performed for aneurysmal degeneration. There were 37 (12%) early failures including 14 deaths and 25 interventions (10 endovascular, 15 open). Aneurysmal degeneration was the indication for intervention in six patients (24%). Mean follow-up was 4.2 years (range, 0.1-14.7 years). Kaplan-Meier estimate demonstrated that freedom from intervention was 77.3% +/- 2.4% at 3 years and 74.2% +/- 2.5% at 6 years. There were no predictors of freedom from intervention. Kaplan-Meier estimate demonstrated that the intervention-free survival was 55.0% +/- 3.0% at 3 years and 41.0% +/- 3.2% at 6 years. End-stage renal disease was predictive of failure of medical treatment (hazard ratio, 2.60; confidence interval, 1.19-5.66; P = .02), and age >70 years was protective against failure (hazard ratio, 0.97; confidence interval, 0.95-0.98; P < .01). Kaplan-Meier estimate demonstrated that survival after 6 years was higher in patients who underwent interventions (76% vs 58%; P = .018). Conclusions: The majority of patients with acute type B dissection will fail medical therapy over time as evidenced by a 6-year intervention-free survival of 41%. Patients who underwent any aortic intervention had a significant survival advantage over those who were treated with medical management alone. Further study is necessary to determine who will benefit most from early intervention.

TI Time response of increases in ATP and muscle resistance to fatigue after low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) in mice SO LASERS IN MEDICAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Light-emitting diode therapy; Muscle ATP content; Photobiomodulation; Resistance to exercise fatigue; Time response ID BIPHASIC DOSE-RESPONSE; CYTOCHROME-C-OXIDASE; SKELETAL-MUSCLE; IN-VITRO; RADIATION; PHOTOTHERAPY; MECHANISMS; CELLS; NM; PERFORMANCE AB Recently, low-level laser (light) therapy has been used to increase muscle performance in intense exercises. However, there is a lack of understanding of the time response of muscles to light therapy. The first purpose of this study was to determine the time response for light-emitting diode therapy (LEDT)-mediated increase in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles in mice. Second purpose was to test whether LEDT can increase the resistance of muscles to fatigue during intense exercise. Fifty male Balb/c mice were randomly allocated into two equal groups: LEDT-ATP and LEDT-fatigue. Both groups were subdivided into five equal subgroups: LEDT-sham, LEDT-5 min, LEDT-3 h, LEDT-6 h, and LEDT-24 h. Each subgroup was analyzed for muscle ATP content or fatigue at specified time after LEDT. The fatigue test was performed by mice repeatedly climbing an inclined ladder bearing a load of 150 % of body weight until exhaustion. LEDT used a cluster of LEDs with 20 red (630 +/- 10 nm, 25 mW) and 20 infrared (850 +/- 20 nm, 50 mW) delivering 80 mW/cm(2) for 90 s (7.2 J/cm(2)) applied to legs, gluteus, and lower back muscles. LEDT-6 h was the subgroup with the highest ATP content in soleus and gastrocnemius compared to all subgroups (P < 0.001). In addition, mice in LEDT-6 h group performed more repetitions in the fatigue test (P < 0.001) compared to all subgroups: LEDT-sham and LEDT-5 min (similar to 600 %), LEDT-3 h (similar to 200 %), and LEDT-24 h (similar to 300 %). A high correlation between the fatigue test repetitions and the ATP content in soleus (r = 0.84) and gastrocnemius (r = 0.94) muscles was observed. LEDT increased ATP content in muscles and fatigue resistance in mice with a peak at 6 h. Although the time response in mice and humans is not the same, athletes might consider applying LEDT at 6 h before competition.

However, previous exercise protocols do not exactly simulate the real muscle demand required in sports. For this reason, the aim of this randomized and double-blind placebo-controlled trial was to investigate whether light-emitting diode therapy (LEDT) applied over the quadriceps femoris muscles, hamstrings, and triceps surae of volleyball players before official matches could prevent muscle damage (CK) with a dose response, establishing a therapeutic window. A professional male volleyball team (12 athletes) was enrolled in this study, and LEDT was applied before 4 matches during a national championship. LEDT used an array of 200 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged in 25 clusters of 4 infrared LEDs (850 +/- 20 nm; 130 mW) and 25 clusters of 4 red LEDs (630 +/- 10 nm; 80 mW). Athletes were randomized to receive one of four different total doses over each muscle group in a double-blind protocol: 105 J (20 s), 210 J (40 s), 315 J (60 s), and placebo (no light for 30 s). CK in blood was assessed 1 h before and 24 h after each match. LEDT at 210 J avoided significant increases in CK (+10 %; P = 0.993) as well as 315 J (+31 %, P = 0.407). Placebo (0 J) allowed a significant increase in CK (+53 %; P = 0.012) as well as LEDT at 105 J (+59 %; P = 0.001). LEDT prevented significant increases of CK in blood in athletes when applied before official matches with a light dose response of 210-315 J, suggesting athletes might consider applying LEDT before competition.

A multi-center, international, phase II study of alvocidib in fludarabine refractory CLL was undertaken to validate these early results. Patients with fludarabine refractory CLL or prolymphocytic leukemia arising from CLL were treated with single agent alvocidib. The primary outcome measure was overall response rate, with secondary outcomes including survival, toxicity, and response duration. One hundred and sixty five patients were enrolled and 159 patients were treated. The median age was 61 years, the median number of prior therapies was 4, and 96% of patients were fludarabine refractory. The investigator-assessed overall response rate was 25%; the majority of responses were partial. Response rates were lower among patients with del(17p) (14%), but equivalent in patients with del(11q) or bulky lymphadenopathy. Median progression free and overall survival were 7.6 and 14.6 months, respectively. Tumor lysis occurred in 39 patients (25%), and 13 received hemodialysis. Diarrhea, fatigue, and hematologic toxicities were common. Alvocidib has clinical activity in patients with advanced, fludarabine refractory CLL. Future studies should focus on discovery of biomarkers of clinical response and tumor lysis, and enhanced supportive care measures. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI Parallel Transmit Pulse Design for Patients with Deep Brain Stimulation Implants SO MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE parallel transmit (pTx); local SAR; implant safety; global SAR; excitation fidelity; deep brain stimulation (DBS); electric field steering ID INTERVENTIONAL MRI; RF SAFETY; GLOBAL SAR; 7 TESLA; 1.5 T; EXCITATION; POWER; COIL; WIRES; ARRAY AB PurposeSpecific absorption rate (SAR) amplification around active implantable medical devices during diagnostic MRI procedures poses a potential risk for patient safety. In this study, we present a parallel transmit (pTx) strategy that can be used to safely scan patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) implants. MethodsWe performed electromagnetic simulations at 3T using a uniform phantom and a multitissue realistic head model with a generic DBS implant. Our strategy is based on using implant-friendly modes, which are defined as the modes of an array that reduce the local SAR around the DBS lead tip. These modes are used in a spokes pulse design algorithm in order to produce highly uniform magnitude least-squares flip angle excitations. ResultsLocal SAR (1 g) at the lead tip is reduced below 0.1 W/kg compared with 31.2 W/kg, which is obtained by a simple quadrature birdcage excitation without any sort of SAR mitigation. For the multitissue realistic head model, peak 10 g local SAR and global SAR are obtained as 4.52 W/kg and 0.48 W/kg, respectively. A uniform axial flip angle is also obtained (NRMSE <3%). ConclusionParallel transmit arrays can be used to generate implant-friendly modes and to reduce SAR around DBS implants while constraining peak local SAR and global SAR and maximizing flip angle homogeneity.

MethodsWe design SMS pTx least-squares and magnitude least squares spokes pulses while constraining local SAR using the virtual observation points (VOPs) compression of SAR matrices. We evaluate our approach in simulations of a head (7T) and a body (3T) coil with eight channels arranged in two z-rows. ResultsFor many of our simulations, control of average power by Tikhonov regularization of the SMS pTx spokes pulse design yielded pulses that violated hardware and SAR safety limits. On the other hand, control of peak power alone yielded pulses that violated local SAR limits. Pulses optimized with control of both local SAR and peak power satisfied all constraints and therefore had the best excitation performance under limited power and SAR constraints. These results extend our previous results for single slice pTx excitations but are more pronounced because of the large power demands and SAR of SMS pulses. ConclusionsExplicit control of local SAR and peak power is required to generate optimal SMS pTx excitations satisfying both the system's hardware limits and regulatory safety limits.

While it is widely believed that direct (PDGF-mediated) activation is the primary mode of activating PDGFRs, the discovery that they can also be activated indirectly begs the question of the relevance of the indirect mode of activating PDGFRs. In the context of a blinding eye disease, indirect activation of PDGFR alpha results in persistent signaling, which suppresses the level of p53 and thereby promotes viability of cells that drive pathogenesis. Under the same conditions, PDGFR beta fails to undergo indirect activation. In this paper, we report that RasGAP (GTPase-activating protein of Ras) prevented indirect activation of PDGFR beta. RasGAP, which associates with PDGFR beta but not PDGFR alpha, reduced the level of mitochondrion-derived reactive oxygen species, which are required for enduring activation of PDGFRs. Furthermore, preventing PDGFR beta from associating with RasGAP allowed it to signal enduringly and drive pathogenesis of a blinding eye disease. These results indicate a previously unappreciated role of RasGAP in antagonizing indirect activation of PDGFR beta, define the underlying mechanism, and raise the possibility that PDGFR beta-mediated diseases involve indirect activation of PDGFR beta C1 [Lei, Hetian; Kazlauskas, Andrius] Harvard Univ, Sch Med, Schepens Eye Res Inst, Boston, MA 02163 USA.

To extend treatment opportunities to those afflicted with other genetic forms of CF disease, structural and biophysical characterization of CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is urgently needed. In this study, CFTR was modified with various tags, including a His10 purification tag, the SUMOstar (SUMO*) domain, an extracellular FLAG epitope, and an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), each alone or in various combinations. Expressed in HEK293 cells, recombinant CFTR proteins underwent complex glycosylation, compartmentalized with the plasma membrane, and exhibited regulated chloride-channel activity with only modest alterations in channel conductance and gating kinetics. Surface CFTR expression level was enhanced by the presence of SUMO* on the N-terminus. Quantitative mass-spectrometric analysis indicated approximately 10 % of the total recombinant CFTR (SUMO*-CFTRFLAG-EGFP) localized to the plasma membrane. Trial purification using dodecylmaltoside for membrane protein extraction reproducibly recovered 178 +/- 56 mu g SUMO*-CFTRFLAG-EGFP per billion cells at 80 % purity. Fluorescence size-exclusion chromatography indicated purified CFTR was monodisperse. These findings demonstrate a stable mammalian cell expression system capable of producing human CFTR of sufficient quality and quantity to augment future CF drug discovery efforts, including biophysical and structural studies.

TI The receptor TREML4 amplifies TLR7-mediated signaling during antiviral responses and autoimmunity SO NATURE IMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID AUTOANTIBODY PRODUCTION; MYELOID CELLS; DENDRITIC CELLS; CUTTING EDGE; MURINE LUPUS; TOLL; DISEASE; INFLAMMATION; GENES; MICE AB The molecules and pathways that fine-tune innate inflammatory responses mediated by Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) remain to be fully elucidated. Using an unbiased genome-scale screen with short hairpin RNA (shRNA), we identified the receptor TREML4 as an essential positive regulator of TLR7 signaling. Macrophages from Treml4(-/-) mice were hyporesponsive to TLR7 agonists and failed to produce type I interferons due to impaired phosphorylation of the transcription factor STAT1 by the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 and decreased recruitment of the adaptor MyD88 to TLR7. TREML4 deficiency reduced the production of inflammatory cytokines and autoantibodies in MRL/lpr mice, which are prone to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and inhibited the antiviral immune response to influenza virus. Our data identify TREML4 as a positive regulator of TLR7 signaling and provide insight into the molecular mechanisms that control antiviral immunity and the development of autoimmunity.

However, routine CEST measurement varies not only with the pH-dependent chemical exchange rate, but also with CEST agent concentration, providing pH-weighted information. Conventional ratiometric CEST imaging normalizes the confounding concentration factor by analyzing the relative CEST effect from different exchangeable groups, requiring CEST agents with multiple chemically distinguishable labile proton sites. Recently, a radiofrequency (RF) power-based ratiometric CEST MRI approach has been developed for concentration-independent pH MRI using CEST agents with a single exchangeable group. To facilitate quantification and optimization of the new ratiometric analysis, we quantified the RF power-based ratiometric CEST ratio (rCESTR) and derived its signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratios. Using creatine as a representative CEST agent containing a single exchangeable site, our study demonstrated that optimized RF power-based ratiometric analysis provides good pH sensitivity. We showed that rCESTR follows a base-catalyzed exchange relationship with pH independent of creatine concentration. The pH accuracy of RF power-based ratiometric MRI was within 0.15-0.20 pH units. Furthermore, the absolute exchange rate can be obtained from the proposed ratiometric analysis. To summarize, RF power-based ratiometric CEST analysis provides concentration-independent pH-sensitive imaging and complements conventional multiple labile proton group-based ratiometric CEST analysis.

However, whether and how these interact is not clear. Methods: We analyzed data from a cross-sectional and longitudinal study to determine how PTSD severity influences obesity, insulin sensitivity, and key measures and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk. We then looked at how PTSD and early life adversity may interact to impact these same outcomes. Results: PTSD severity is associated with increasing risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, with higher symptoms correlating with higher values of BMI, leptin, fibrinogen, and blood pressure, and lower values of insulin sensitivity. PTSD and early life adversity have an additive effect on these metabolic outcomes. The longitudinal study confirmed findings from the cross sectional study and showed that fat mass, leptin, CRP, sICAM-1, and sTNFRII were significantly increased with higher PTSD severity during a 2.5 year follow-up period. Conclusions: Individuals with early life adversity and PTSD are at high risk and should be monitored carefully for obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic risk. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Here, we investigated the CD147 promoter methylation status and the correlation with tumorigenicity in human PCa. CD147 mRNA and protein expression levels were both significantly higher in the 4 PCa cell lines, than in the 2 non-tumorigenic benign human prostatic epithelial cell lines (all P<0.01). We showed hypomethylation of promoter regions of CD147 in PCa cell lines with significant CD147 expression as compared to non-tumorigenic benign human prostatic epithelial cell lines slowly expressing CD147. Additionally, the treatment of methylated cell lines with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine increased CD147 expression significantly in low-expressing cell lines and also activated the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, which may be one of the most important downstream targets of CD147. Furthermore, PCa tissues displayed decreased DNA methylation in the promoter region of CD147 compared to the corresponding non-cancerous prostate tissues, and methylation intensity correlated inversely with the CD 147 mRNA levels. There was a significant negative correlation between CD147 mRNA levels and the number of methylated sites in PCa tissues (r=-0.467, P<0.01). In conclusion, our data offer convincing evidence for the first time that the DNA promoter hypomethylation of CD147 may be one of the regulatory mechanisms involved in the cancer-related overexpression of CD147 and may play a crucial role in the tumorigenesis of PCa.

Design: Prospective, longitudinal cohort. Participants: Two hundred eyes of 100 participants previously enrolled in a comparative instrument validation study. Methods: Baseline mydriatic 7-standard field Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) photographs and UWF images were obtained. On UWF images, DR lesions with a greater extent outside versus inside standard ETDRS fields were defined as predominantly peripheral lesions (PPLs). Follow-up ETDRS photographs were obtained 4.2 +/- 0.3 years after baseline. Baseline and follow-up DR severity were graded from ETDRS photographs. Main Outcome Measures: Rates of 2-step or more progression and progression to proliferative DR (PDR) in eyes with PPLs compared with eyes without PPLs identified on UWF imaging at baseline. Results: In eyes without PDR (n = 109) at baseline, 56 (51%) had at least 1 field with PPLs and 43 (39%) had DR progression. Compared with eyes without PPLs, eyes with PPLs had a 3.2-fold increased risk of 2-step or more DR progression (6 [11%] vs. 19 [34%]; P = 0.005) and a 4.7-fold increased risk for progression to PDR (3 [6%] vs. 14 [25%]; P = 0.005). These findings remained statistically significant after adjusting for gender, diabetes type, diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, and baseline DR severity. Increasing extent of fields with PPLs increased the risk for 2-step or more DR progression (P = 0.004) and progression to PDR (P = 0.009). Conclusions: Presence and increasing extent of PPLs were associated with increased risk of DR progression over 4 years, independent of baseline DR severity and HbA1c levels. Increasing extent of PPLs substantially increased the risk of DR progression and progression to PDR, especially with less severe DR at baseline. These findings demonstrate that detailed peripheral retinal evaluation provides important information that is necessary to assess completely the risk of DR progression.

To compare the postoperative measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) using the Corvis ST Tonometer (CST), ocular response analyzer (ORA), and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in eyes undergoing laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), as well as to analyze the relationship between the corneal biomechanical parameters of the CST and the ORA. Methods. Fifty participants who had undergone LASIK to treat myopia in the previous 3 months were enrolled. Postoperative IOP measurements of these participants were obtained using the CST, ORA (corneal-compensated IOP [IOPcc], Goldmann-correlated IOP [IOPg]), and GAT. Device agreement was calculated by Bland-Altman analysis. The metrics of corneal biomechanical properties were recorded using the ORA and the CST. Corneal biomechanical parameters were compared. Results. The Bland-Altman analysis revealed a significant bias between CST and GAT, between CST and IOPcc, and between CST and IOPg of 3.4, 1.0, and 3.8, mmHg, respectively, with 95% limits of agreement of -0.7 to 7.5 mm Hg, -2.1 to 4.2 mm Hg, and -0.4 to 8.0 mm Hg. The ORA-derived IOP measurements, CST-derived IOP, and GAT IOP values showed good correlation with each other. The CST IOP and IOPcc were higher than the GAT IOP (all p < 0.05), whereas IOPg did not differ from the GAT IOP readings. Ocular response analyzer-derived corneal biomechanical parameters (corneal hysteresis and the corneal resistance factor) showed significant correlations with CST-derived parameters, including the maximum deformation amplitude at the corneal apex and the time from start until the first applanation. Conclusions. The CST offers an alternative method for measuring postoperative IOP in LASIK patients, and it appears to obtain higher IOP values than other tonometry techniques. The technique may facilitate the investigation of corneal biomechanical property changes in LASIK-treated eyes.

TI Circulating Tumor Cells Found in Patients With Localized and Advanced Pancreatic Cancer SO PANCREAS LA English DT Article DE circulating tumor cells; pancreatic cancer; KRAS mutation ID DUCTAL ADENOCARCINOMA; SURVIVAL; MUTATIONS; SIZE; WNT AB Objectives: Isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) holds the promise of diagnosing and molecular profiling cancers from a blood sample. Here, we test a simple new low-cost filtration device for CTC isolation in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods: Peripheral blood samples drawn from healthy donors and PDAC patients were filtered using ScreenCell devices, designed to capture CTCs for cytologic and molecular analysis. Giemsa-stained specimens were evaluated by a pancreatic cytopathologist blinded to the histological diagnosis. Circulating tumor cell DNA was subjected to KRAS mutational analysis. Results: Spiking experiments demonstrated a CTC capture efficiency as low as 2 cells/mL of blood. Circulating tumor cells were identified by either malignant cytology or presence of KRAS mutation in 73% of 11 patients (P = 0.001). Circulating tumor cells were identified in 3 of 4 patients with early (<= American Joint Committee on Cancer stage IIB) and in 5 of 7 patients with advanced (>= American Joint Committee on Cancer stage III) PDAC. No CTCs were detected in blood from 9 health donors. Conclusions: Circulating tumor cells can be found in most patients with PDAC of any stage, whether localized, locally advanced, or metastatic. The ability to capture, cytologically identify, and genetically analyze CTCs suggests a possible tool for the diagnosis and characterization of genetic alterations of PDAC.

Methods: Pancreatic juice samples were obtained during surgery and the postoperative period. Proteins were identified by mass spectrometry-based protein quantification technology and compared with published data of the nonoperated pancreas. Subgroup analyses were done in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and in smokers. Results: Five hundred eighteen proteins were identified in the postoperative pancreatic juice, encompassing all of the main organ functions. Sixty-seven of these were also present in the published data of the nonoperated pancreas and 7 of these had significant variation of concentration after surgery. Growth factors that have been described in postsurgical regeneration of the liver were not found to be overexpressed, whereas clusterin did, confirming the finding of previous experimental studies on pancreatic regeneration. Several proteins involved in immunomodulation and organ functions were differently expressed, depending on PDAC, neoadjuvant therapy, and smoking. Conclusions: The proteome of the pancreas after surgical resection contains factors related to all main organ functions, changes over time, and is different in patients with PDAC receiving neoadjuvant therapy and in smokers. The pancreas reacts to the surgical trauma by producing proteins that protect the organ and stimulate the restoration of its function.

Acute beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol reduces physiologic reactivity during subsequent recollection of traumatic events by inhibiting reconsolidation of reactivated memories in a process called memory reconsolidation blockade. The objective of this study is to determine whether a single dose of propranolol prior to retrieval of smoking-related memories reduces subsequent physiologic reactivity to personally salient smoking imagery scripts in current smokers. Fifty-four overnight-abstinent, adult smokers received a single-dose propranolol or placebo prior to reactivation of smoking-related memories in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial and resumed smoking afterward. One week later, skin conductance (SC), heart rate (HR), left corrugator electromyogram (EMG), self-reported emotional state, and craving were assessed following script-driven imagery with neutral and personalized smoking-related scripts. Smoking scripts were associated with increased physiologic activation (SC, HR, EMG), craving, and negative emotional state compared with neutral scripts. Propranolol did not moderate the effect of script type on any outcome. Personalized smoking script-driven imagery robustly increased physiologic activation, negative emotional state, and craving, and a single dose of propranolol prior to memory reactivation did not moderate this effect.

However, predictors of oversupply are poorly understood, with no studies in Medicare Part D. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe prevalence and predictors of oversupply of antidiabetic, antihypertensive, and antihyperlipidemic medications in adults with diabetes managed by a large, multidisciplinary, academic physician group and enrolled in Medicare Part D or a local private health plan. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. Electronic health record data were linked to medical and pharmacy claims and enrollment data from Medicare and a local private payer for 2006-2008 to construct a patient-quarter dataset for patients managed by the physician group. Patients' quarterly refill adherence was calculated using ReComp, a continuous, multiple-interval measure of medication acquisition (CMA), and categorized as < 0.80 = Undersupply, 0.80-1.20 = Appropriate Supply, >1.20 = Oversupply. We examined associations of baseline and time-varying predisposing, enabling, and medical need factors to quarterly supply using multinomial logistic regression. Results: The sample included 2519 adults with diabetes. Relative to patients with private insurance, higher odds of oversupply were observed in patients aged ! 65 in Medicare (OR = 3.36, 95% CI = 1.61-6.99), patients 65+ in Medicare (OR = 2.51, 95% CI = 1.37-4.60), patients <65 in Medicare/Medicaid (OR = 4.55, 95% CI = 2.33-8.92), and patients 65+ in Medicare/Medicaid (OR = 5.73, 95% CI = 2.89-11.33). Other factors associated with higher odds of oversupply included any 90-day refills during the quarter, psychotic disorder diagnosis, and moderate versus tight glycemic control. Conclusions: Oversupply was less prevalent than in previous studies of integrated systems, but Medicare Part D enrollees had greater odds of oversupply than privately insured individuals. Future research should examine utilization management practices of Part D versus private health plans that may affect oversupply. Published by Elsevier Inc.

TI AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF VITAL SIGNS TO IDENTIFY PATIENTS WITH SUBSTANTIAL BLEEDING BEFORE HOSPITAL ARRIVAL: A FEASIBILITY STUDY SO SHOCK LA English DT Article DE Trauma; hemorrhage; massive transfusion; decision-support systems; prehospital emergency care ID TRAUMA PATIENTS; SHOCK INDEX; EMERGENCY-DEPARTMENT; MASSIVE TRANSFUSION; RESPIRATORY RATE; BLOOD-PRESSURE; RESUSCITATION; REQUIREMENT; IMPROVEMENT; ALGORITHMS AB Trauma outcomes are improved by protocols for substantial bleeding, typically activated after physician evaluation at a hospital. Previous analysis suggested that prehospital vital signs contained patterns indicating the presence or absence of substantial bleeding. In an observational study of adults (aged >= 18 years) transported to level I trauma centers by helicopter, we investigated the diagnostic performance of the Automated Processing of the Physiological Registry for Assessment of Injury Severity (APPRAISE) system, a computational platform for real-time analysis of vital signs, for identification of substantial bleeding in trauma patients with explicitly hemorrhagic injuries. We studied 209 subjects prospectively and 646 retrospectively. In our multivariate analysis, prospective performance was not significantly different from retrospective. The APPRAISE system was 76% sensitive for 24-h packed red blood cells of 9 or more units (95% confidence interval, 59%-89%) and significantly more sensitive (P < 0.05) than any prehospital Shock Index of 1.4 or higher; sensitivity, 59%; initial systolic blood pressure (SBP) less than 110 mmHg, 50%; and any prehospital SBP less than 90 mmHg, 50%. The APPRAISE specificity for 24-h packed red blood cells of 0 units was 87% (88% for any Shock Index >= 1.4, 88% for initial SBP <110 mmHg, and 90% for any prehospital SBP <90 mmHg). Median APPRAISE hemorrhage notification time was 20 min before arrival at the trauma center. In conclusion, APPRAISE identified bleeding before trauma center arrival. En route, this capability could allow medics to focus on direct patient care rather than the monitor and, via advance radio notification, could expedite hospital interventions for patients with substantial blood loss.

Histopathologically, the lesion created some diagnostic confusion as it displayed an endophytic, or inverted, growth pattern-with squamous cells pushing into the substantia propria around fibrovascular cores, but without significant cytologic atypia, consistent with a conjunctival inverted papilloma (IP). Unlike previously reported cases of conjunctival IP, there were no goblet cells or cysts within the tumor. Immunostaining was diffusely positive for cytokeratin (CK) 7, and CK14 stained the basilar and suprabasilar cells, as in normal conjunctiva. CK17 weakly and non-uniformly stained the tumor, ruling out a dysplasia, which is usually strongly positive. The lesion's cytokeratin profile therefore paralleled that of normal conjunctiva. The proliferation index with Ki67 nuclear staining was extremely low (<1%), as was p53 nuclear staining (10-20%), both in contrast to squamous cell dysplasias or carcinomas that have a much higher percentage of positive cells. The lesion was negative for human papillomavirus subtypes associated with squamous neoplasias including carcinomas. We review the'previous literature devoted to this comparatively rare condition and contrast its benign clinical course with that of inverted papillomas of the sinonasal, lacrimal drainage, and genitourinary systems and provide a set of criteria for establishing the diagnosis.

TI Three-Dimensional Human Tissue Models That Incorporate Diabetic Foot Ulcer-Derived Fibroblasts Mimic In Vivo Features of Chronic Wounds SO Tissue Engineering Part C-Methods LA English DT Article ID EXTRACELLULAR-MATRIX; ALGINATE HYDROGELS; VENOUS ULCERS; SKIN; DISEASE; DIFFERENTIATION; DEGRADATION; MECHANISMS; EXPRESSION; MIGRATION AB Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a major, debilitating complication of diabetes mellitus. Unfortunately, many DFUs are refractory to existing treatments and frequently lead to amputation. The development of more effective therapies has been hampered by the lack of predictive in vitro methods to investigate the mechanisms underlying impaired healing. To address this need for realistic wound-healing models, we established patient-derived fibroblasts from DFUs and site-matched controls and used them to construct three-dimensional (3D) models of chronic wound healing. Incorporation of DFU-derived fibroblasts into these models accurately recapitulated the following key aspects of chronic ulcers: reduced stimulation of angiogenesis, increased keratinocyte proliferation, decreased re-epithelialization, and impaired extracellular matrix deposition. In addition to reflecting clinical attributes of DFUs, the wound-healing potential of DFU fibroblasts demonstrated in this suite of models correlated with in vivo wound closure in mice. Thus, the reported panel of 3D DFU models provides a more biologically relevant platform for elucidating the cell-cell and cell-matrix-related mechanisms responsible for chronic wound pathogenesis and may improve translation of in vitro findings into efficacious clinical applications.

TI Cumulative gains enhance striatal response to reward opportunities in alcohol-dependent patients SO ADDICTION BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Alcoholism; reward; ventral striatum ID DECISION-MAKING DEFICITS; RISK-TAKING; DETOXIFIED ALCOHOLICS; FUTURE CONSEQUENCES; ANTERIOR CINGULATE; PREFRONTAL CORTEX; DOPAMINE NEURONS; WORKING-MEMORY; GAMBLING TASK; NEURAL BASIS AB Substance use disorder is characterized by a transition from volitional to compulsive responding for drug reward. A possible explanation for this transition may be that alcohol-dependent patients (ADP) show a general propensity for a history of rewarded instrumental responses, and these rewarded responses may boost the activation of motivational neurocircuitry for additional reward. Brain imaging studies of decision-making have demonstrated that ADP relative to controls (CON) often show altered neural activation in response to anticipating and receiving rewards, but the majority of studies have not investigated how past performance affects activation. A potential exists for ADP to show increased sensitivity to reward as a function of reward delivery history. In the current study, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural correlates of risky decision-making in ADP (n=18) and CON (n=18) while they played a two-choice monetary risk-taking game. In addition to investigating general neural recruitment by risky decision-making, we also modeled each participant's running total of monetary earnings in order to determine areas of activation that correlated with cumulative reward. We found that ADP and CON showed few differences in behavior or in mesolimbic activation by choice for, and receipt of, risky gains. However, when including a cumulative-earnings covariate, ADP exhibited heightened striatal activation that correlated with total earnings during the choice event in the task. The heightened contextual sensitivity of striatal responses to cumulative earnings in ADP may represent a general neurobiological affective substrate for development of automatized instrumental behavior.

Methods: A systematic review of MHBC interventions was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses framework. Results: Ten studies met inclusion criteria. Most studies changed at least 2 health behaviors. Diet, exercise, and smoking cessation were consistently changed with in-person interventions. Longer duration interventions using phone or mail contact had a positive association with changing diet and exercise. Conclusions: MHBC interventions positively influenced behavior change in adults with cancer and those at high risk for cancer. Future studies should focus on increasing dissemination and implementation of efficacious interventions.

FOXL2 immunoexpression has recently been found in sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary, including granulosa cell tumors, Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, thecomas, and fibromas, but mutations have been identified mostly in adult granulosa cell tumors. In this study, we investigated FOXL2 mutation status and protein expression in UTROSCTs. Mutational analysis using a TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction-based allelic discrimination assay was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue from 15 UTROSCTs. FOXL2 mutation was absent in all tumors. FOXL2 immunoexpression was tested in all 15 tumors. Intensity of staining was scored as weak, moderate, or strong. Percentage of tumor cells with nuclear staining was recorded as follows: 0 (negative); 1+ (1% to 25%); 2+ (26% to 50%); 3+ (51% to 75%); and 4+(76% to 100%). Nuclear expression of FOXL2 was present in 6 of 15 (40%) UTROSCTs. One tumor demonstrated strong 4+ staining. Moderate expression was seen in 3 cases, including 2 and 1 showing 2+ and 1+ staining, respectively. Weak expression was observed in 2 tumors demonstrating 3+ and 1+ staining. Although UTROSCTs show overlapping morphologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features with sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary, they do not harbor FOXL2 mutation despite focal immunoreactivity in a subset of these tumors.

VIA-2291 is a potent 5-LO inhibitor, which has been shown to reduce hsCRP and noncalcified coronary plaque volume following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aim to evaluate the effect of VIA-2291 on vascular inflammation compared to placebo using FDG-PET. Methods: A Phase II, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study was conducted in 52 patients with recent ACS assigned 1: 1 to either 100 mg VIA-2291 or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary outcome was the effect of VIA-2291 relative to placebo on arterial inflammation detected by (18)fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) within the index vessel after 24 weeks of daily treatment, compared to baseline. Results: VIA-2291 was relatively well tolerated and was associated with a significant inhibition of the potent chemo-attractant LTB4, with a mean inhibition of activity of 92.8% (p < 0.0001) at 6 weeks in the VIA-2291 group, without further significant change in inhibition at 24 weeks. However, for VIA-2291 was not associated with significant difference in inflammation (target-to-background ratio) compared to placebo at 24 weeks or 6 weeks of treatment. Further, VIA-2291 was not associated with a significant reduction in hsCRP from baseline after either 6 or 24 weeks of treatment. Conclusions: VIA-2291 is well-tolerated and effectively reduces leukotriene production. However, inhibition of 5-LO with VIA-2291 is not associated with significant reductions in vascular inflammation (by FDG-PET) or in blood inflammatory markers. Accordingly, this study does not provide evidence to support a significant anti-inflammatory effect of VIA-2291 in patients with recent ACS. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

While the biology of WMH remains ill-defined, several lines of evidence implicate endothelial dysfunction. In this study, we sought to assess the association between metabolic markers of endothelial dysfunction and WMH severity in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: In this retrospective study, consecutive subjects, >= 18 years of age, admitted to our ED with AIS, brain MRI, and blood homocysteine (Hcy) and hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) measurements were eligible for this analysis. WMH volume (WMHV) was quantified using a validated semi-automated algorithm and log-transformed for linear regression analyses. Results: There were 809 AIS subjects included (mean age 65.57 +/- 14.7, median WMHV 6.25 cm(3) (IQR 2.8-13.1)). In univariate analysis, age, female gender, race, ethnicity, systolic blood pressure, history of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, prior stroke, and current alcohol and tobacco use (all p < 0.05), as well as Hcy (p < 0.0001) and HgbA1c levels (p = 0.0005) were associated with WMHV. However, only Hcy (beta = 0.11, p = 0.003) and HgbA1c levels (beta = 0.1, p = 0.008) independently predicted WMHV in the multivariate model, along with age (beta - 0.03, p < 0.0001), race (beta - 0.39, p - 0.01), ethnicity (beta = -0.11, p = 0.03), and current alcohol use (beta = 0.26, p = 0.002). Conclusions: Elevated levels of Hcy and HgbA1c have been previously linked to endothelial dysfunction related to oxidative stress. The association between Hcy and HgbA1c and WMH burden in AIS suggests that the degree of endothelial dysfunction may be greater in patients with increased WMHV, and may in part explain the relationship between WMHV and poor post-stroke outcomes.

However, it remains largely unknown how SFAs interact with LPS to regulate inflammatory responses in microvascular endothelial cells (MIC ECs) that are critically involved in atherosclerosis as a diabetic complication. In this study, we compared the effects of LPS, palmitic acid (PA), the most abundant saturated fatty acid, or the combination of LPS and PA on interleukin (IL)-6 expression by MIC ECs and explored the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Human cardiac MIC ECs were treated with LPS, PA and LPS plus PA and the regulatory pathways including receptors, signal transduction, transcription and post-transcription, and sphingolipid metabolism for IL-6 expression were investigated. Results: G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 40 or free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1), but not toll-like receptor 4, was involved in PA-stimulated IL-6 expression. PA not only stimulated IL-6 expression by itself, but also remarkably enhanced LPS-stimulated IL-6 expression via a cooperative stimulation on mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathways, and both transcriptional and post-transcriptional activation. Furthermore, PA induced a robust neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase)-mediated sphingomyelin hydrolysis that was involved in PA-augmented IL-6 upregulation. Conclusion: PA boosted inflammatory response of microvascular endothelial cells to LPS via GPR40 and nSMase. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

In addition, thrombocytopenia in MDS limits the tolerability and therapeutic efficacy of disease-modifying therapies, such as azacitidine or lenalidomide. The recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, epoetin and darbepoetin, are an established component of anaemia management in lower-risk MDS. Their success has, in turn, driven the development of haematopoietic growth factors targeting thrombocytopenia. While recombinant thrombopoietin (THPO) proved too immunogenic for clinical use, novel thrombopoiesis-stimulating agents (TSAs) have the potential to reduce bleeding events, decrease dependency on platelet transfusions and extend exposure to disease-modifying therapies. Two TSAs, eltrombopag and romiplostim, have demonstrated benefit in chronic immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) and safety and efficacy data for use of these agents in MDS is growing. However, important safety concerns remain, such as the potential for stimulation of neoplastic myeloid clones by THPO agonists. In this narrative review, we discuss the rationale and biological mechanism for TSAs in MDS, describe the agents currently available and their mechanism of action, and present current clinical data relating to TSA safety and efficacy in the context of MDS.

Despite improvements of the biology behind PBL, it still represents a challenge from the diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives for pathologists and clinicians. PBL is characterized by high rates of relapse and short median survival with standard approaches. Here, we report the use of the combination of bortezomib and infusional etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (V-EPOCH) in three patients with PBL; two were HIV-positive and one was HIV-negative. All three patients obtained a durable complete response to V-EPOCH with survival times of 24, 18 and 12months respectively.

Although this rationale has been the basis of proteasome inhibitor (PI) and HDAC6 inhibitor combination studies, the role of disruption of aggresome formation by HDAC6 inhibition has not yet been studied in multiple myeloma (MM). The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of carfilzomib (CFZ) in combination with a selective HDAC6 inhibitor (ricolinostat) in MM cells with respect to the aggresome-proteolysis pathway. We observed that combination treatment of CFZ with ricolinostat triggered synergistic anti-MM effects, even in bortezomib-resistant cells. Immunofluorescent staining showed that CFZ increased the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and protein aggregates in the cytoplasm, as well as the engulfment of aggregated ubiquitinated proteins by autophagosomes, which was blocked by ricolinostat. Electron microscopy imaging showed increased autophagy triggered by CFZ, which was inhibited by the addition of ACY-1215. Finally, an in vivo mouse xenograft study confirmed a decrease in tumour volume, associated with apoptosis, following treatment with CFZ in combination with ricolinostat. Our results suggest that ricolinostat inhibits aggresome formation, caused by CFZ-induced inhibition of the proteasome pathway, resulting in enhanced apoptosis in MM cells.

Porcine skin shares many physical properties with human skin, but is susceptible to hyperacute rejection due to preformed antibodies to alpha-1,3-galactose (Gal), a carbohydrate on all porcine cells. Our preliminary studies have suggested that skin grafts from alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase knock out (GalT-KO) miniature swine might provide temporary wound coverage comparable to allografts, since GalT-KO swine lack this carbohydrate. To further evaluate this possibility, eight non-human primates received primary autologous, allogeneic, GalT-KO, and GalT + xenogeneic skin grafts. Additionally, secondary grafts were placed to assess whether sensitization would affect the rejection time course of identical-type grafts. We demonstrate that both GalT-KO xenografts and allografts provide temporary coverage of partialand full-thickness wounds for up to 11 days. In contrast, GalT + xenografts displayed hyperacute rejection, with no signs of vascularization and rapid avulsion from wounds. Furthermore, secondary GalT-KO transplants failed to vascularize, demonstrating that primary graft rejection sensitizes the recipient. We conclude that GalT-KO xenografts may provide temporary coverage of wounds for a duration equivalent to allografts, and thus, could serve as a readily available alternative treatment of severe burns.

We provide a thorough description of important anesthetic considerations during organ donation surgery in patients with either brain or cardiac death. A thorough literature review was undertaken to locate all relevant articles that describe systemic effects of brain and cardiac death and their anesthetic implications. We searched PubMed, Pubget, and EMBASE (TM) for relevant articles using the following search terms: anesthesia, management, donation cardiac death, donation brain death. In addition, we reviewed the relevant protocols at our own institution. Highly specific intraoperative management by an anesthesiologist is required during organ procurement after brain death. To manage the heart-beating brain-dead donor, the anesthesiologist must incorporate knowledge of the effects of brain death on each organ system as well as the effects of the preoperative measures that the donor required in the intensive care unit. It is also important to know which organs are going to be procured in order to establish specific goals and implement strategies (e.g., lung-protective ventilation or intraoperative glycemic control) to optimize donor outcome. During organ procurement after cardiac death, an anesthesiologist's direct involvement is particularly important for lung donors. Anesthesiologist-guided physiological optimization of the brain-dead donor may be a factor in determining the outcome of the organ recipient. Additionally, anesthesiologists have an important role in helping to ensure that the highest quality and most appropriate care are rendered to non-heart-beating donors. This is achieved through establishing protocols in their hospitals for donation after cardiac death that maximize the number of available organs with the best chance for long-term graft viability.

There is also discussion to what extent migraine cases collected in specialised headache clinics differ from cases from population cohorts, and how female cases differ from male cases with respect to their migraine. To assess the genetic overlap between these migraine subgroups, we examined genome-wide association (GWA) results from analysis of 23,285 migraine cases and 95,425 population-matched controls. Methods Detailed heterogeneity analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effects (odds ratios) between migraine subgroups was performed for the 12 independent SNP loci significantly associated (p<5x10(-8); thus surpassing the threshold for genome-wide significance) with migraine susceptibility. Overall genetic overlap was assessed using SNP effect concordance analysis (SECA) at over 23,000 independent SNPs. Results Significant heterogeneity of SNP effects (p(het)<1.4x10(-3)) was observed between the MA and MO subgroups (for SNP rs9349379), and between the clinic- and population-based subgroups (for SNPs rs10915437, rs6790925 and rs6478241). However, for all 12 SNPs the risk-increasing allele was the same, and SECA found the majority of genome-wide SNP effects to be in the same direction across the subgroups. Conclusions Any differences in common genetic risk across these subgroups are outweighed by the similarities. Meta-analysis of additional migraine GWA datasets, regardless of their major subgroup composition, will identify new susceptibility loci for migraine.

Our study searched for evidence that genetic factors are involved in the chronification process. Methods We initially selected 144 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 48 candidate genes, which we tested for association in two stages: The first stage encompassed 262 CM patients, the second investigated 226 patients with high-frequency migraine (HFM). Subsequently, SNPs with p values<0.05 were forwarded to the replication stage containing 531 patients with CM or HFM. Results Eight SNPs were significantly associated with CM and HFM in the two-stage phase. None survived replication in the third stage. Discussion We present the first comprehensive genetic association study for migraine chronification. There were no significant findings. Future studies may benefit from larger, genome-wide data sets or should use other genetic approaches to identify genetic factors involved in migraine chronification. C1 [Louter, M. A.; Ferrari, M.

A retrospective chart review of 91 consecutive at-risk SLN were identified in 51 patients in whom IONM using laryngeal surface electrodes was performed by a clinical neurophysiologist using Dragonfly (Neurovision Medical Products, Ventura, CA) recording electrodes and a Protektor (Natus Medical Inc., San Carlos, CA)16 channel- intraoperative nerve monitoring system. Inclusion criteria were met for 30 SLN. Data collected included preoperative diagnosis, surgical procedure, rates of nerve identification and stimulation, and waveform characteristics. Waveform analysis for 30 SLN yielded a peak latency of 4.0 +/- 0.2 ms, onset latency 2.3 +/- 0.1 ms, peak-to-peak amplitude of 220.4 +/- 31.1 mu V, onset-to-peak amplitude of 186.0 +/- 25.0 mu V, and stimulation current threshold of 0.55 +/- 0.03 mA (data=mean +/- SEM). Two patients had abnormal SLN function documented clinically on postoperative laryngoscopic examination. Laryngeal surface electrodes were successfully utilized to identify and monitor SLN function intraoperatively. IONM using laryngeal surface electrodes enables analysis of waveform morphology and latency in addition to threshold and amplitude data obtained with the traditional NIM system, potentially improving the performance of nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery.

TI Effects of lifestyle modification and metformin on irisin and FGF21 among HIV-infected subjects with the metabolic syndrome SO CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY LA English DT Article ID GROWTH-FACTOR 21; ADIPOSE-TISSUE; INSULIN-RESISTANCE; BROWN ADIPOCYTES; WHITE FAT; LIPODYSTROPHY; EXPRESSION; HUMANS; THERMOGENESIS; ASSOCIATION AB ObjectiveFew studies have investigated irisin and FGF21 to elucidate the role of these hormones to regulate beiging' in HIV-infected patients. DesignFifty HIV-infected subjects with the metabolic syndrome were previously recruited and randomized to receive lifestyle modification (LSM) and/or metformin over 12months. In the current study, we assessed FGF21 and irisin at baseline and after intervention. In addition, we assessed circulating FGF21 and irisin in relationship to brown adipose tissue (BAT) gene expression in dorsocervical subcutaneous fat biopsies from 13 HIV-infected subjects. ResultsAt baseline, prior to intervention, HIV-infected subjects demonstrated increased log FGF21 (213006 vs 198 +/- 005pg/ml, P=005) and log irisin (033 +/- 002 vs 017 +/- 004g/ml, P=0003) compared with healthy controls well matched based on waist circumference. After 12months, HIV-infected subjects randomized to LSM demonstrated a relative reduction in FGF21 compared with those not randomized to LSM (-10 [-35,22] vs 40 [0,94] %change, P=001). Changes in FGF21 were inversely associated with improved parameters of energy homoeostasis, including increased REE (=-034, P=0046) and max VO2 (=-038, P=002), and reduced RQ (=040, P=002) among all HIV-infected subjects. Increased UCP-1 (r=075, P=0003), DIO2 (r=058, P=004) and CideA (r=073, P=001) gene expression in dorsocervical fat was significantly associated with FGF21 in HIV-infected subjects. ConclusionHIV-infected subjects with metabolic complications demonstrate increases in FGF21 in relationship to BAT gene expression. Relative reductions in FGF21 in those receiving long-term LSM relate to overall improvements in energy expenditure parameters. In contrast, irisin levels are elevated in HIV-infected subjects, but are not influenced by LSM nor associated with BAT gene expression.

The participant (aged 68) was tested on linguistic and non-linguistic cognitive tasks administered under conditions that differed in levels of anxiety. A validated anxiety-induction technique rarely used in previous aphasia studies was employed: the participant was instructed to prepare for a public speaking presentation. Measures of linguistic and non-linguistic cognitive performance, and anxiety (self-report and psychophysiologic) were obtained. The participant exhibited increased psychophysiologic stress reactivity (heart rate, skin conductance and self-report ratings) in the high-anxiety condition. In the state of increased anxiety, performance on language tasks, in particular discourse production, declined relative to performance in low-anxiety settings. Even in mild aphasia, language-based anxiety can interfere with language performance. This finding provides a basis for carrying out a study with a larger sample that can open a new path to assessment and treatment of persons with aphasia.

Rubash, Harry Ring, David TI Surgeons' Attitudes Are Associated With Reoperation and Readmission Rates SO CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID GENERAL-AVIATION PILOTS; PATIENT SAFETY CLIMATE; HOSPITALS; ACCIDENT AB Attitudes influence how people make decisions. In an effort to decrease pilot judgment-related accidents, the Federal Aviation Administration teaches new pilots about hazardous attitudes that are believed to be incompatible with safe flight: macho, impulsive, worry, resignation, self-confidence, and antiauthority. If these attitudes are hazardous for pilots and their passengers, they may also be incompatible with the reliable and safe delivery of surgical care. The purposes of this study were (1) to ascertain to what extent surgeons harbor hazardous attitudes; and (2) to determine their relationship, if any, to reoperation and readmission rates. We selected validated aviation psychology tools that are used to measure these attitudes in pilots. We converted the aviation scenarios to analogous situations for surgeons and invited all surgeons from one academic program to participate in this study. A total of 41 surgeons were eligible to participate; 37 (90%) completed the attitude prevalence protocol and 31 (76%) had complete reoperation and readmission data for the correlation and regression analysis. Attending orthopaedic surgeons completed the Modified Surgeon Hazardous Attitude Scale as well as a series of additional instruments. Levels of macho thought to be hazardous in pilots were present in nine (24%) surgeons. Similar, elevated levels of self-confidence were found in three (8%) surgeons. High levels of impulsivity were found in 5% (two surgeons) and high levels of antiauthority were found in 3% (one surgeon). Only one (3%) surgeon reported elevated levels of worry and no surgeon reported hazardous levels of resignation. Thirty percent (11 surgeons) of surgeons harbored at least one elevated attitude level. In a regression model, macho attitude levels predicted 19% of the variation in surgeons' rate of readmissions and reoperations. High levels of hazardous attitudes may not be consistent with the routine delivery of safe surgical care in a teamwork setting where human factors and safe systems are the key to success. Further research is needed to determine if abnormally high levels of these hazardous attitudes impact patient care. Level II, prognostic study.

Becker, Stephanie J. E. Guitton, Thierry G. Kadzielski, John Ring, David TI How Prevalent Are Hazardous Attitudes Among Orthopaedic Surgeons? SO CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID SAFETY CLIMATE; CULTURE; CARE; PILOTS AB So-called "hazardous attitudes" (macho, impulsive, antiauthority, resignation, invulnerable, and confident) were identified by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Canadian Air Transport Administration as contributing to road traffic incidents among college-aged drivers and felt to be useful for the prevention of aviation accidents. The concept of hazardous attitudes may also be useful in understanding adverse events in surgery, but it has not been widely studied. We surveyed a cohort of orthopaedic surgeons to determine the following: (1) What is the prevalence of hazardous attitudes in a large cohort of orthopaedic surgeons? (2) Do practice setting and/or demographics influence variation in hazardous attitudes in our cohort of surgeons? (3) Do surgeons feel they work in a climate that promotes patient safety? We asked the members of the Science of Variation Group-fully trained, practicing orthopaedic and trauma surgeons from around the world-to complete a questionnaire validated in college-aged drivers measuring six attitudes associated with a greater likelihood of collision and used by pilots to assess and teach aviation safety. We accepted this validation as applicable to surgeons and modified the questionnaire accordingly. We also asked them to complete the Modified Safety Climate Questionnaire, a questionnaire assessing the absence of a safety climate that is based on the patient safety cultures in healthcare organizations instrument. Three hundred sixty-four orthopaedic surgeons participated, representing a 47% response rate of those with correct email addresses who were invited. Thirty-eight percent (137 of 364 surgeons) had at least one score that would have been considered dangerously high in pilots (> 20), including 102 with dangerous levels of macho (28%) and 41 with dangerous levels of self-confidence (11%). After accounting for possible confounding variables, the variables most closely associated with a macho attitude deemed hazardous in pilots were supervision of surgical trainees in the operating room (p = 0.003); location of practice in Canada (p = 0.059), Europe (p = 0.021), and the United States (p = 0.005); and being an orthopaedic trauma surgeon (p = 0.046) (when compared with general orthopaedic surgeons), but accounted for only 5.3% of the variance (p < 0.001). On average, 19% of surgeon responses to the Modified Safety Climate Questionnaire implied absence of a safety climate. Hazardous attitudes are common among orthopaedic surgeons and relate in small part to demographics and practice setting. Future studies should further validate the measure of hazardous attitudes among surgeons and determine if they are associated with preventable adverse events. We agree with aviation safety experts that awareness of amelioration of such attitudes might improve safety in all complex, high-risk endeavors, including surgery-a line of thinking that merits additional research.

J. S. Ring, David C. Gregory, Paul J. Rubash, Harry E. Harmon, Larry TI Do 360-degree Feedback Survey Results Relate to Patient Satisfaction Measures? SO CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE; MULTISOURCE FEEDBACK; CLINICAL-OUTCOMES; HOSPITAL-CARE; QUALITY; INDICATOR; BEHAVIORS; IMPACT AB There is evidence that feedback from 360-degree surveys-combined with coaching-can improve physician team performance and quality of patient care. The Physicians Universal Leadership-Teamwork Skills Education (PULSE) 360 is one such survey tool that is used to assess work colleagues' and coworkers' perceptions of a physician's leadership, teamwork, and clinical practice style. The Clinician & Group-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System (CG-CAHPS), developed by the US Department of Health and Human Services to serve as the benchmark for quality health care, is a survey tool for patients to provide feedback that is based on their recent experiences with staff and clinicians and soon will be tied to Medicare-based compensation of participating physicians. Prior research has indicated that patients and coworkers often agree in their assessment of physicians' behavioral patterns. The goal of the current study was to determine whether 360-degree, also called multisource, feedback provided by coworkers could predict patient satisfaction/experience ratings. A significant relationship between these two forms of feedback could enable physicians to take a more proactive approach to reinforce their strengths and identify any improvement opportunities in their patient interactions by reviewing feedback from team members. An automated 360-degree software process may be a faster, simpler, and less resource-intensive approach than telephoning and interviewing patients for survey responses, and it potentially could facilitate a more rapid credentialing or quality improvement process leading to greater fiscal and professional development gains for physicians. Our primary research question was to determine if PULSE 360 coworkers' ratings correlate with CG-CAHPS patients' ratings of overall satisfaction, recommendation of the physician, surgeon respect, and clarity of the surgeon's explanation. Our secondary research questions were to determine whether CG-CAHPS scores correlate with additional composite scores from the Quality PULSE 360 (eg, insight impact score, focus concerns score, leadership-teamwork index score, etc). We retrospectively analyzed existing quality improvement data from CG-CAHPS patient surveys as well as from a department quality improvement initiative using 360-degree survey feedback questionnaires (Quality PULSE 360 with coworkers). Bivariate analyses were conducted to identify significant relationships for inclusion of research variables in multivariate linear analyses (eg, stepwise regression to determine the best fitting predictive model for CG-CAHPS ratings). In all higher order analyses, CG-CAHPS ratings were treated as the dependent variables, whereas PULSE 360 scores served as independent variables. This approach led to the identification of the most predictive linear model for each CG-CAHPS' performance rating (eg, [1] overall satisfaction; [2] recommendation of the physician; [3] surgeon respect; and [4] clarity of the surgeon's explanation) regressed on all PULSE scores with which there was a significant bivariate relationship. Backward stepwise regression was then used to remove unnecessary predictors from the linear model based on changes in the variance explained by the model with or without inclusion of the predictor. The Quality PULSE 360 insight impact score correlated with patient satisfaction (0.50, p = 0.01), patient recommendation (0.58, p = 0.002), patient rating of surgeon respect (0.74, p < 0.001), and patient impression of clarity of the physician explanation (0.69, p < 0.001). Additionally, leadership-teamwork index also correlated with patient rating of surgeon respect (0.46, p = 0.019) and patient impression of clarity of the surgeon's explanation (0.39, p = 0.05). Multivariate analyses supported retention of insight impact as a predictor of patient overall satisfaction, patient recommendation of the surgeon, and patient rating of surgeon respect. Both insight impact and leadership-teamwork index were retained as predictors of patient impression of explanation. Several other PULSE 360 variables were correlated with CG-CAHPS ratings, but none were retained in the linear models post stepwise regression. The relationship between Quality PULSE 360 feedback scores and measures of patient satisfaction reaffirm that feedback from work team members may provide helpful information into how patients may be perceiving their physicians' behavior and vice versa. Furthermore, the findings provide tentative support for the use of team-based feedback to improve the quality of relationships with both coworkers and patients. The 360-degree survey process may offer an effective tool for physicians to obtain feedback about behavior that could directly impact practice reimbursement and reputation or potentially be used for bonuses to incentivize better team professionalism and patient satisfaction, ie, "pay-for-professionalism." Further research is needed to expand on this line of inquiry, determine which interventions can improve 360-degree and patient satisfaction scores, and explain the shared variance in physician performance that is captured in the perceptions of patients and coworkers.

SO CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID PERIOPERATIVE RISK-FACTORS; WOUND INFECTIONS; LUMBAR SPINE; OPERATIONS; FUSION AB Orthopaedic surgical site infections (SSIs) can delay recovery, add impairments, and decrease quality of life, particularly in patients undergoing spine surgery, in whom SSIs may also be more common. Efforts to prevent and treat SSIs of the spine rely on the identification and registration of these adverse events in large databases. The effective use of these databases to answer clinical questions depends on how the conditions in question, such as infection, are defined in the databases queried, but the degree to which different definitions of infection might cause different risk factors to be identified by those databases has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to determine whether different definitions of SSI identify different risk factors for SSI. Specifically, we compared the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) coding, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria for deep infection, and incision and d,bridement for infection to determine if each is associated with distinct risk factors for SSI. In this single-center retrospective study, a sample of 5761 adult patients who had an orthopaedic spine surgery between January 2003 and August 2013 were identified from our institutional database. The mean age of the patients was 56 years (+/- A 16 SD), and slightly more than half were men. We applied three different definitions of infection: ICD-9 code for SSI, the CDC criteria for deep infection, and incision and d,bridement for infection. Three hundred sixty-one (6%) of the 5761 surgeries received an ICD-9 code for SSI within 90 days of surgery. After review of the medical records of these 361 patients, 216 (4%) met the CDC criteria for deep SSI, and 189 (3%) were taken to the operating room for irrigation and d,bridement within 180 days of the day of surgery. We found the Charlson Comorbidity Index, the duration of the operation, obesity, and posterior surgical approach were independently associated with a higher risk of infection for each of the three definitions of SSI. The influence of malnutrition, smoking, specific procedures, and specific surgeons varied by definition of infection. These elements accounted for approximately 6% of the variability in the risk of developing an infection. The frequency of SSI after spine surgery varied according to the definition of an infection, but the most important risk factors did not. We conclude that large database studies may be better suited for identifying risk factors than for determining absolute numbers of infections. Level III, prognostic study.

Recent findings Beyond neutralization breadth and potency, substantial evidence from natural infection, vaccination, and studies in animal models points to a critical role for antibody Fc receptor (FcR) engagement in reducing risk of infection, decreasing postinfection viremia, and delaying viral rebound. Supporting these findings in the setting of HIV, the clinical maturation of recombinant antibody therapeutics has reinforced the importance of Fc-driven activity in vivo across many disease settings, as well as opportunely resulted in the development and exploration of a number of engineered Fc sequence and glycosylation variants that possess differential binding to FcRs. Exploiting these variants as tools, the individual and concerted effects of antibody effector functions such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cellmediated virus inhibition, phagocytosis, complement-dependent cytotoxicity, antibody half-life, and compartmentalization are now being explored. As exciting molecular therapies are advanced, these studies promise to provide insight into optimal in-vivo antibody activity profiles. Summary Careful consideration of recent progress in understanding protective antibody activities in vivo can point toward how tailoring antibody activity via Fc domain modification may enable optimization of HIV prevention and eradication strategies.

Recent findings Obesity is increasing among patients with end-stage renal disease and is more prevalent when direct measures of adiposity are used rather than BMI. High BMI is not associated with better survival among patients with earlier chronic kidney disease or after kidney transplantation, suggesting that excess fat is most protective among the sickest patients. Despite the positive association between BMI and survival among patients with end-stage renal disease, visceral fat is associated with coronary artery calcification and adverse cardiovascular events. Muscle wasting is prominent among patients with chronic kidney disease, sometimes even in the setting of obesity. Obesity and muscle wasting are associated with worse physical functioning. Indicators of low muscle size and strength are associated with higher mortality. Some interventions can affect body composition, but whether they affect survival has not been determined. Summary Recent studies show that a high BMI is not protective for all patients with chronic kidney disease and is associated with poor physical functioning and frailty. Visceral adiposity is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Sarcopenia is common among patients with end-stage renal disease and is associated with worse physical performance and higher mortality.

SO DEVELOPMENTAL MEDICINE AND CHILD NEUROLOGY LA English DT Article ID LOW-BIRTH-WEIGHT; PRETERM CHILDREN; INFANTS; AGE; SELECTION; MODEL AB Aim The aim of this study was to determine whether neurobehavioral assessment before and after cranial vault surgery can improve prediction of developmental delay in children with single-suture craniosynostosis (SSC), after accounting for 'baseline' demographic and clinical variables (SSC diagnosis and surgery age). Method Children with SSC were referred by the treating surgeon or pediatrician before surgery. Neurobehavioral assessments were performed at ages of approximately 6, 18, and 36 months. Iterative models were developed to predict delay, as determined by one or more tests of cognitive, motor, and language skills at 36 months. We selected from groups of variables entered in order of timing (before or after corrective surgery), and source of information (parent questionnaire or psychometric testing). Results Good predictive accuracy as determined by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), was obtained with the baseline model (AUC=0.66), which incorporated age at surgery, sex, and socio-economic status. However, predictive accuracy was improved by including pre- and post-surgery neurobehavioral assessments. Models incorporating post-surgery neurobehavioral testing (AUC=0.79), pre-surgery testing (AUC=0.74), or both pre- and post-surgery testing (AUC=0.79) performed similarly. However, the specifity of all models was considered to be moderate (0.62). Interpretation Prediction of delay was enhanced by assessment of neurobehavioral status. Findings provide tentative support for guidelines of care that call for routine testing of children with SSC. C1 [Gray, Kristen E.] Univ Washington, Dept Hlth Serv, Seattle, WA 98195 USA.

There is currently no effective pharmacotherapy for PTSD and therefore the discovery of novel, evidence-based treatments is particularly important. This review of potential novel treatments could act as a catalyst for further drug investigation. Areas covered: In this review, the authors discuss the heterogeneity of PTSD and why this provides a challenge for discovering effective treatments for this disorder. By searching for the neurobiological systems that are disrupted in individuals with PTSD and their correlation with different symptoms, the authors propose potential pharmacological treatments that could target these symptoms. They discuss drugs such as nabilone, D-cycloserine, nor-BNI, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone and oxytocin (OT) to target systems such as cannabinoids, glutamate, opioids, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and the OT receptor, respectively. While not conclusive, the authors believe that these brain systems include promising targets for drug discovery. Finally, the authors review animal studies, proof-of-concept studies and case studies that support our proposed treatments. Expert opinion: A mechanism-based approach utilizing techniques such as in vivo neuroimaging will allow for the determination of treatments. Due to the heterogeneity of the PTSD phenotype, focusing on symptomology rather than a categorical diagnosis will allow for more personalized treatment. Furthermore, there appears to be a promise in drugs as cognitive enhancers, the use of drug cocktails and novel compounds that target specific pathways linked to the etiology of PTSD.

Objective: To describe our experience with EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) of solid hepatic masses and derive and validate criteria to help distinguish between benign and malignant hepatic masses. Design: Retrospective study, survey. Setting: Single, tertiary-care referral center. Patients: Medical records were reviewed for all patients undergoing EUS-FNA of solid hepatic masses over a 12-year period. Interventions: EUS-FNA of solid hepatic masses. Main Outcome Measurements: Masses were deemed benign or malignant according to predetermined criteria. EUS images from 200 patients were used to create derivation and validation cohorts of 100 cases each, matched by cytopathologic diagnosis. Ten expert endosonographers blindly rated 15 initial endosonographic features of each of the 100 images in the derivation cohort. These data were used to derive an EUS scoring system that was then validated by using the validation cohort by the expert endosonographer with the highest diagnostic accuracy. Results: A total of 332 patients underwent EUS-FNA of a hepatic mass. Interobserver agreement regarding the initial endosonographic features among the expert endosonographers was fair to moderate, with a mean diagnostic accuracy of 73% (standard deviation 5.6). A scoring system incorporating 7 EUS features was developed to distinguish benign from malignant hepatic masses by using the derivation cohort with an area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.92; when applied to the validation cohort, performance was similar (AUC 0.86). The combined positive predictive value of both cohorts was 88%. Limitations: Single center, retrospective, only one expert endosonographer deriving and validating the EUS criteria. Conclusion: An EUS scoring system was developed that helps distinguish benign from malignant hepatic masses. Further study is required to determine the impact of these EUS criteria among endosonographers of all experience.

Methods and results One hundred tumours with clinical follow-up were reviewed. Features evaluated included age, preoperative/intraoperative rupture, size, architectural pattern(s), presence of oxyphilic cells, degree of cytological atypia, nucleolar grade, mitoses, background precursor and stage. Survival differences were analysed using the log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier estimator. Stage and lymph node status were the only parameters that were statistically significant (P<0.0001). Patients with stage I disease (71%) had a 92% 5-year survival compared to a 31% 5-year survival in advanced stage disease (29%). Those with negative lymph nodes (92%) had an 80% 5-year survival compared to a 22% 5-year survival for those with positive nodes (8%). Conclusions This study shows that stage and lymph node status are the only prognostically significant parameters in patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma. It also confirms that most patients with clear cell carcinoma present with disease confined to the ovary, and have an excellent prognosis. Grading ovarian clear cell carcinomas based on morphological features is not recommended, as none are of prognostic significance.

TI The Impact of Healthcare-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections on Post-Discharge Healthcare Costs and Utilization SO INFECTION CONTROL AND HOSPITAL EPIDEMIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS; UNITED-STATES; HOSPITAL DISCHARGE; OUTCOMES; BURDEN; PNEUMONIA; MEDICARE; PROGRAM; DISEASE; BALANCE AB OBJECTIVE. Healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and cost among hospitalized patients. Little is known about their impact on post-discharge resource utilization. The purpose of this study was to estimate post-discharge healthcare costs and utilization attributable to positive MRSA cultures during a hospitalization. METHODS. Our study cohort consisted of patients with an inpatient admission lasting longer than 48 hours within the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system between October 1, 2007, and November 30, 2010. Of these patients, we identified those with a positive MRSA culture from microbiology reports in the VA electronic medical record. We used propensity score matching and multivariable regression models to assess the impact of positive culture on post-discharge outpatient, inpatient, and pharmacy costs and utilization in the 365 days following discharge. RESULTS. Our full cohort included 369,743 inpatients, of whom, 3,599 (1.0%) had positive MRSA cultures. Our final analysis sample included 3,592 matched patients with and without positive cultures. We found that, in the 12 months following hospital discharge, having a positive culture resulted in increases in post-discharge pharmacy costs ($776, P<.0001) and inpatient costs ($12,167, P<.0001). Likewise, having a positive culture increased the risk of a readmission (odds ratio [OR] = 1.396, P<.0001), the number of prescriptions (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.138; P<.0001) and the number of inpatient days (IRR, 1.204; P<. 0001,) but decreased the number of subsequent outpatient encounters (IRR, 0.941; P<.008). CONCLUSIONS. The results of this study indicate that MRSA infections are associated with higher levels of post-discharge healthcare cost and utilization. These findings indicate that financial benefits resulting from infection prevention efforts may extend beyond the initial hospital stay.

Recent studies suggest that increased innate immune activation and tryptophan catabolism are associated with higher risk of depression in HIV infection and other chronic inflammatory diseases, but the mechanisms leading to depression remain poorly understood. Methods: The severity of depressive symptoms was assessed by Beck Depression Inventory or Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Untargeted metabolomic profiling of plasma from 104 subjects (68 HIV-positive and 36 HIV-negative) across 3 independent cohorts was performed using liquid or gas chromatography followed by mass spectrometry. Cytokine profiling was by Bioplex array. Bioinformatic analysis was performed in Metaboanalyst and R. Results: Decreased monoamine metabolites (phenylacetate, 4-hydroxyphenylacetate) and acylcarnitines (propionylcarnitine, isobutyrylcarnitine, isovalerylcarnitine, 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine) in plasma distinguished depressed subjects from controls in HIV-positive and HIV-negative cohorts, and these alterations correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms. In HIV-positive subjects, acylcarnitines and other markers of mitochondrial function correlated inversely with tryptophan catabolism, a marker of interferon responses, suggesting interrelationships between inflammatory pathways, tryptophan catabolism, and metabolic alterations associated with depression. Altered metabolites mapped to pathways involved in monoamine metabolism, mitochondrial function, and inflammation, suggesting a model in which complex relationships between monoamine metabolism and mitochondrial bioenergetics contribute to biological mechanisms involved in depression that may be augmented by inflammation during HIV infection. Conclusions: Integrated approaches targeting inflammation, monoamine metabolism, and mitochondrial pathways may be important for prevention and treatment of depression in people with and without HIV.

Methods: We enrolled 1147 HIV-negative individuals in long-term serodiscordant relationships at 3 sites in Uganda from the Partners Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Study, a randomized placebo-controlled trial of daily oral tenofovir and emtricitabine/tenofovir. We used generalized estimation equations to assess the effects of sexual relationships on low adherence (<80%) and on gaps in adherence. Results: Fifty-three percent were male, 51% were 18-34 years and 24% were polygamous. Participants who reported sex in the past month with someone other than their primary partner and with <100% condom use were more than twice as likely to have low adherence [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.70 to 3.62] compared with those who had sex with only their primary partners and 100% condom use. Using the same reference group, those who abstained from sex in the previous month had 30% increased odds of low adherence (aOR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.62) and participants in nonpolygamous marriages who reported sex with both their primary and other partners and <100% condom use were almost twice as likely to be low adherers (aOR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.01 to 3.08). At least one 72-hour gap in adherence was seen in 598 participants (54.7%); 23.2% had at least one 1-week gap. Conclusions: Risk of low overall adherence was higher in participants who reported sex outside primary partnerships and suboptimal condom use, as well as in those who abstained from sex. Adherence gaps were common, potentially creating risk for HIV acquisition. C1 [Kintu, Alexander; Bangsberg, David R.] Harvard Univ, Sch Publ Hlth, Dept Global Hlth & Populat, Boston, MA 02115 USA.

Selective testing of those at higher risk of failure may improve efficiency. We investigated whether a novel analysis of adherence data could correctly classify virological failure and potentially inform a selective testing strategy. Design: Multisite prospective cohort consortium. Methods: We evaluated longitudinal data on 1478 adult patients treated with ART and monitored using the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) in 16 US cohorts contributing to the MACH14 consortium. Because the relationship between adherence and virological failure is complex and heterogeneous, we applied a machine-learning algorithm (Super Learner) to build a model for classifying failure and evaluated its performance using cross-validation. Results: Application of the Super Learner algorithm to MEMS data, combined with data on CD4(+) T-cell counts and ART regimen, significantly improved classification of virological failure over a single MEMS adherence measure. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, evaluated on data not used in model fitting, was 0.78 (95% confidence interval: 0.75 to 0.80) and 0.79 (95% confidence interval: 0.76 to 0.81) for failure defined as single HIV RNA level >1000 copies per milliliter or >400 copies per milliliter, respectively. Our results suggest that 25%-31% of viral load tests could be avoided while maintaining sensitivity for failure detection at or above 95%, for a cost savings of $16-$29 per person-month. Conclusions: Our findings provide initial proof of concept for the potential use of electronic medication adherence data to reduce costs through behavior-driven HIV RNA testing.

To characterize trends from 1999 through 2010 in the management of headache. Longitudinal trends analysis. Nationally representative sample of visits to clinicians for headache from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, excluding visits with "red flags," such as neurologic deficit, cancer, or trauma. Use of advanced imaging (CT/MRI), opioids/barbiturates, and referrals to other physicians (guideline-discordant indicators), as well as counseling on lifestyle modifications and use of preventive medications including verapamil, topiramate, amitriptyline, or propranolol (guideline-concordant during study period). We analyzed results using logistic regression, adjusting for patient and clinician characteristics, and weighted to reflect U.S. population estimates. Additionally, we stratified findings based on migraine versus non-migraine, acute versus chronic symptoms, and whether the clinician self-identified as the primary care physician. We identified 9,362 visits for headache, representing an estimated 144 million visits during the study period. Nearly three-quarters of patients were female, and the mean age was approximately 46 years. Use of CT/MRI rose from 6.7 % of visits in 1999-2000 to 13.9 % in 2009-2010 (unadjusted p < 0.001), and referrals to other physicians increased from 6.9 % to 13.2 % (p = 0.005). In contrast, clinician counseling declined from 23.5 % to 18.5 % (p = 0.041). Use of preventive medications increased from 8.5 % to 15.9 % (p = 0.001), while opioids/barbiturates remained unchanged, at approximately 18 %. Adjusted trends were similar, as were results after stratifying by migraine versus non-migraine and acute versus chronic presentation. Primary care clinicians had lower odds of ordering CT/MRI (OR 0.56 [0.42, 0.74]). Contrary to numerous guidelines, clinicians are increasingly ordering advanced imaging and referring to other physicians, and less frequently offering lifestyle counseling to their patients. The management of headache represents an important opportunity to improve the value of U.S. healthcare.

TI Documented Lifestyle Education Among Young Adults with Incident Hypertension SO JOURNAL OF GENERAL INTERNAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE hypertension; patient education; primary care; electronic health records; health behavior ID AMERICAN-HEART-ASSOCIATION; HEALTH-CARE PROFESSIONALS; BLOOD-PRESSURE; ADMINISTRATIVE DATA; COMPETING DEMANDS; PREVENTIVE CARE; FAMILY-HISTORY; RISK-FACTORS; PHYSICIAN; PREVALENCE AB Only 38 % of young adults with hypertension have controlled blood pressure. Lifestyle education is a critical initial step for hypertension control. Previous studies have not assessed the type and frequency of lifestyle education in young adults with incident hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine patient, provider, and visit predictors of documented lifestyle education among young adults with incident hypertension. We conducted a retrospective analysis of manually abstracted electronic health record data. A random selection of adults 18-39 years old (n = 500), managed by a large academic practice from 2008 to 2011 and who met JNC 7 clinical criteria for incident hypertension, participated in the study. The primary outcome was the presence of any documented lifestyle education during one year after meeting criteria for incident hypertension. Abstracted topics included documented patient education for exercise, tobacco cessation, alcohol use, stress management/stress reduction, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, and weight loss. Clinic visits were categorized based upon a modified established taxonomy to characterize patients' patterns of outpatient service. We excluded patients with previous hypertension diagnoses, previous antihypertensive medications, or pregnancy. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of documented education. Overall, 55 % (n = 275) of patients had documented lifestyle education within one year of incident hypertension. Exercise was the most frequent topic (64 %). Young adult males had significantly decreased odds of receiving documented education. Patients with a previous diagnosis of hyperlipidemia or a family history of hypertension or coronary artery disease had increased odds of documented education. Among visit types, chronic disease visits predicted documented lifestyle education, but not acute or other/preventive visits. Among young adults with incident hypertension, only 55 % had documented lifestyle education within one year. Knowledge of patient, provider, and visit predictors of education can help better target the development of interventions to improve young adult health education and hypertension control.

TI Using a Single Item to Measure Burnout in Primary Care Staff: A Psychometric Evaluation SO JOURNAL OF GENERAL INTERNAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE Workforce; Psychometrics; Physician satisfaction ID PATIENT SAFETY OUTCOMES; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; INTERNAL-MEDICINE; EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION; JOB-PERFORMANCE; NURSE BURNOUT; WORK-LIFE; SATISFACTION; PHYSICIANS; INVENTORY AB Burnout affects nearly half of all U.S. nurses and physicians, and has been linked to poor outcomes such as worse patient safety. The most common measure of burnout is the well-validated Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). However, the MBI is proprietary and carries licensing fees, posing challenges to routine or repeated assessment. To compare a non-proprietary, single-item burnout measure to a single item from the MBI Emotional Exhaustion (MBI:EE) subscale that has been validated as a standalone burnout measure. Cross-sectional online survey. A sample of primary care providers (PCPs), registered nurses, clinical associates (e.g., licensed practical nurses (LPNs), medical technicians), and administrative clerks in the Veterans Health Administration surveyed in 2012. We compared a validated one-item version of the MBI:EE and a non-proprietary single-item burnout measure used in the Physician Work Life Study. We calculated kappa statistics, sensitivity and specificity, positive predictive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), and area under the receiver operator curve (AUC). We conducted analyses stratified by occupation to determine the stability of the correlation between the two measures. We analyzed responses from 5,404 participants, including 1,769 providers and 1,380 registered nurses. The prevalence of burnout was 36.7 % as measured on the single MBI:EE item and 38.5 % as measured on the non-proprietary single-item measure. Relative to the MBI:EE, the non-proprietary single-item measure had a correlation of 0.79, sensitivity of 83.2 %, specificity of 87.4 %, and AUC of 0.93 (se = 0.004). Results were similar when stratified by respondent occupation. A non-proprietary single-item measure served as a reliable substitute for the MBI:EE across occupations. Because it is non-proprietary and easy to interpret, it has logistical advantages over the one-item MBI.

TI National Patterns in Diabetes Screening: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2012 SO JOURNAL OF GENERAL INTERNAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE diabetes screening; prediabetes; NHANES; ADA; disparities ID MANAGED CARE POPULATION; ETHNIC-DIFFERENCES; GLUCOSE CONTROL; SELF-REPORT; FOLLOW-UP; MORTALITY; COHORT; COMPLICATIONS; INTERVENTION; PARTICIPANTS AB There are few current population-based estimates of the patterns of diabetes screening in the United States. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends universal screening of adults a parts per thousand yen 45 years, and high-risk adults < 45 years, but there is no current assessment of ADA guideline performance in detecting diabetes and prediabetes. Furthermore, data on racial/ethnic patterns of screening are limited. Our aim was to estimate diabetes screening prevalence for the US adult population and specifically for those who meet ADA criteria; to report the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes among these groups; and to determine if high-risk race/ethnicity was associated with reported screening. This was a Cross-sectional survey. Non-pregnant adults (a parts per thousand yen 21 years) without diabetes or prediabetes who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2005-2012 (n = 17,572) were included in the study. "Screening-recommended" participants, classified by ADA criteria, included (1) adults a parts per thousand yen 45 years and (2) "high-risk" adults < 45 years. "Screening-not-recommended" participants were adults < 45 years who did not meet criteria. Diabetes screening status was obtained by self-report. We used calibrated HbA(1c) and/or fasting glucose levels to define undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes. Seventy-six percent of the study population (approximately 136 million US adults) met ADA criteria. Among them, less than half (46.2 %) reported screening; undiagnosed diabetes affected 3.7 % (5 million individuals), and undiagnosed prediabetes affected 36.3 % (49 million people.) African Americans were more likely to report screening, both among adults a parts per thousand yen 45 years and among "high risk" younger adults (OR 1.27 and 1.36, respectively.) Hispanic participants were also more likely to report screening (OR 1.31 for older adults, 1.42 for younger adults.) The screening rate among "screening-not-recommended" adults was 29.6 %; the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were 0.4 and 10.2 %, respectively. In a nationally representative sample, 76 % of adults met ADA screening criteria, of whom fewer than half reported screening. Limitations include cross-sectional design and screening self-report.

TI Randomized Trial of a Health IT Tool to Support Between-Visit-Based Laboratory Monitoring for Chronic Disease Medication Prescriptions SO JOURNAL OF GENERAL INTERNAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID ADVERSE DRUG EVENTS; PRIMARY-CARE; CORONARY-DISEASE; DIABETES CARE; RISK; INTENSIFICATION; PATIENT; TIME AB Lack of timely medication intensification and inadequate medication safety monitoring are two prevalent and potentially modifiable barriers to effective and safe chronic care. Innovative applications of health information technology tools may help support chronic disease management. To examine the clinical impact of a novel health IT tool designed to facilitate between-visit ordering and tracking of future laboratory testing. Clinical trial randomized at the provider level (n = 44 primary care physicians); patient-level outcomes among 3,655 primary care patients prescribed 5,454 oral medicines for hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and/or hypertension management over a 12-month period. Time from prescription to corresponding follow-up laboratory testing; proportion of follow-up time that patients achieved corresponding risk factor control (A1c, LDL); adverse event laboratory monitoring 4 weeks after medicine prescription. Patients whose physicians were allocated to the intervention (n = 1,143) had earlier LDL laboratory assessment compared to similar patients (n = 703) of control physicians [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 1.15 (1.01-1.32), p = 0.04]. Among patients with elevated LDL (486 intervention, 324 control), there was decreased time to LDL goal in the intervention group [aHR 1.26 (0.99-1.62)]. However, overall there were no significant differences between study arms in time spent at LDL or HbA1c goal. Follow-up safety monitoring (e.g., creatinine, potassium, or transaminases) was relatively infrequent (ranging from 7 % to 29 % at 4 weeks) and not statistically different between arms. Intervention physicians indicated that lack of reimbursement for non-visit-based care was a barrier to use of the tool. A health IT tool to support between-visit laboratory monitoring improved the LDL testing interval but not LDL or HbA1c control, and it did not alter safety monitoring. Adoption of innovative tools to support physicians in non-visit-based chronic disease management may be limited by current visit-based financial and productivity incentives.

TI Hormones and the Bone Marrow: Panhypopituitarism and Pancytopenia in a Man with a Pituitary Adenoma SO JOURNAL OF GENERAL INTERNAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE pancytopenia; panhypopituitarism; hypopituitarism; Sheehan's syndrome; pituitary adenoma ID HUMAN GROWTH-HORMONE; SHEEHANS-SYNDROME; COMPLETE RECOVERY; HYPOPITUITARISM; THERAPY; ANEMIA; HEMATOPOIESIS; DEFICIENCY; SECONDARY; APLASIA AB In rare cases, pancytopenia results from hormonal deficiencies that arise in the setting of panhypopituitarism. Here we describe the unusual case of a 60-year-old man who presented with progressive fatigue and polyuria, and whose laboratory workup revealed a deficiency of the five hormones associated with the action of the anterior pituitary (thyroid hormone, testosterone, cortisol, prolactin, and insulin-like growth factor-1). Imaging of the pituitary demonstrated a cystic mass consistent with a pituitary adenoma replacing much of the normal pituitary tissue. His symptoms and hematologic abnormalities rapidly resolved with prednisone and levothyroxine supplementation. While the majority of reported cases of panhypopituitarism with bone marrow suppression are the result of peripartum sepsis or hemorrhage leading to pituitary gland necrosis (Sheehan's syndrome), it is also important to consider the diagnosis of hypopituitarism in patients with hypothyroidism, low cortisol levels, and pancytopenia. The causal relationship between pancytopenia and panhypopituitarism is not well understood, though it does reinforce the important influence of these endocrine hormones on the health of the bone marrow.

TI The spliceosome factor SART1 exerts its anti-HCV action through mRNA splicing SO JOURNAL OF HEPATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Hepatitis C virus (HCV); Janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway; Squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by T cells (SART1); RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq); RNA splicing ID HEPATITIS-C VIRUS; INITIATION-FACTOR 4GII; TRANSLATION INITIATION; INFECTED CELLS; REPLICATION; GENOME; PROTEINS; STACKING; CLEAVAGE; REVEALS AB Background &/Aims: The broadly used antiviral cytokine interferon-alpha (IFN alpha)'s mechanisms of action against HCV infection are not well understood. We previously identified SART1, a host protein involved in RNA splicing and pre-mRNA processing, as a regulator of IFN's antiviral effects. We hypothesized that SART1 regulates antiviral IFN effector genes (IEGs) through mRNA processing and splicing. Methods: We performed siRNA knockdown in HuH7.5.1 cells and mRNA-sequencing with or without IFN treatment. Selected gene mRNA variants and their proteins, together with HCV replication, were monitored by qRT-PCR and Western blot in HCV OR6 replicon cells and the JFH1 HCV infectious model. Results: We identified 419 genes with a greater than 2-fold expression difference between Neg siRNA and SART1 siRNA treated cells in the presence or absence of IFN. Bioinformatic analysis identified at least 10 functional pathways. SART1 knockdown reduced classical IFN stimulating genes (ISG) mRNA transcription including MX1 and OAS3. However, SART1 did not affect JAK-STAT pathway gene mRNA expression and IFN stimulated response element (ISRE) signaling. We identified alternative mRNA splicing events for several genes, including EIF4G3, GORASP2, ZFAND6, and RAB6A that contribute to their antiviral effects. EIF4G3 and GORASP2 were also confirmed to have anti-HCV effect. Conclusions: The spliceosome factor SART1 is not IFN-inducible but is an IEG. SART1 exerts its anti-HCV action through direct transcriptional regulation for some ISGs and alternative splicing for others, including EIF4G3, GORASP2. SART1 does not have an effect on IFN receptor or canonical signal transduction components. Thus, SART1 regulates ISGs using a novel, non-classical mechanism.

Methods: Patients at a Boston community health center were invited to complete a 25-item questionnaire assessing demographics, general health, trauma history, and substance use. Of the 3103 who responded, 1309 identified as male and gay or bisexual (82.8% White and mean age of 38.55 [sd = 9.76]). Results: A multinomial logistic regression with never smoked as referent group and covariates of age, education, employment, HIV status, and race, showed that the number of sexual minority stressors/traumas were significantly related to the odds of both current and former smoking. In comparison to participants with no trauma history, those who reported 1, 2, 3, and 4 traumas had respectively 1.70 (OR = 1.70: 95% CI: 1.24-2.34), 2.19 (OR = 2.19: 95% CI: 1.48-3.23), 2.88 (OR = 2.88: 95% CI: 1.71-4.85), and 6.94 (OR = 6.94:95% Cl: 2.62-18.38) the odds of identifying as a current smoker. Adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed a significant dose effect of number of sexual minority stressors/traumas with odds of ever smoking. Experiencing intimate partner violence, anti-gay verbal attadc, anti-gay physical attack, and childhood sexual abuse were each independently associated with increased odds of the smoking outcomes. Conclusion: A sexual minority specific trauma history may represent a vulnerability for smoking among gay/bisexual men. Interventions that address trauma may enhance the efficacy of smoking cessation programs and improve the mental health of gay/bisexual men. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We assessed alcohol misuse using survey-based AUDIT-C scores. The prevalence of alcohol misuse was 27% in VA users and 32% in nonusers. Prevalence rates were higher for VA users who were younger, served in OEF/OIF, or had combat exposure and for VA non-users who screened positive for posttraumatic stress disorder or sexual assault in the military. In contrast to VA users, VA non-users with alcohol misuse had a low prevalence of past-year MH care despite having indications of MH care need. Our results on alcohol misuse prevalence, its correlates, and its association with MH care may aid program planning and resource allocation in VA and non-VA settings. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Chronic care management (CCM) is designed to facilitate delivery of effective therapies. Using data from the CCM group in a trial testing its effectiveness for addiction (N = 282), we examined factors associated with the prescription of addiction medications. Among participants with alcohol dependence, 17% (95% CI 12.0-22.1%) were prescribed alcohol dependence medications. Among those with drug dependence, 9% (95% CI 5.5-12.6%) were prescribed drug dependence medications. Among those with opioids as a substance of choice, 15% (95% CI 9.3-20.9%) were prescribed opioid agonist therapy. In contrast, psychiatric medications were prescribed to 64% (95% CI 58.2-69.4%). Absence of co-morbid drug dependence was associated with prescription of alcohol dependence medications. Lower alcohol addiction severity and recent opioid use were associated with prescription of drug dependence medications. Better understanding of infrequent prescription of addiction medications, despite a supportive clinical setting, might inform optimal approaches to delivering addiction medications.

The purpose of this structured evidence review, summarizing data extraction on a yield of 26 articles, is to identify patient, program, and system factors associated with the outcomes of completion of alcohol detox and successful transitions from alcohol detox to SUD treatment and mutual-help group participation. The review found wide variability among studies in the rates at which patients complete a detox episode (45 to 95%) and enter SUD treatment or mutual-help groups after detox (14 to 92%). Within program factors, behavioral practices that contribute to both detox completion and transitioning to SUD care after detox entail involving the patient's family and utilizing motivational-based approaches. Such practices should be targeted at younger patients, who are less likely to complete detox. Although more studies using a randomized controlled trial design are needed, the evidence suggests that barriers to detox completion and transition to SUD care can be overcome to improve patient outcomes.

Materials and Methods: Using computerized tomography we measured the Hounsfield density of a 0.2 cm(2) renal papillary area in patients with a single renal calyceal stone. Results were compared with those in patients without a nephrolithiasis history who served as controls. Stone composition was determined by stone passage or extraction during endoscopic procedures using infrared spectroscopy and polarized microscopy. We measured the Hounsfield density of the stone bearing calyx and of a single calyx from the upper, middle and lower poles of each kidney. Results: Mean +/- SD renal papillary Hounsfield density in controls was 36.2 +/- 4.0 HU. In patients with stones Hounsfield density was significantly greater than in controls in stone bearing calyces, nonstone bearing calyces in the affected kidney and calyces in the contralateral nonstone bearing kidney for all stone composition subtypes (range 48.4 to 61.3 HU, each p < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients with kidney stones regardless of composition showed the unique radiographic characteristic of increased renal papillary Hounsfield density. This was true for all calyces and for each kidney in all stone formers with a single renal calyceal stone. This radiographic evidence supports the role of renal papillary deposits or plaques in the pathophysiology of stone formation.

Drug challenge studies suggest that glutamate neurotransmission plays an important role in modulating P3 ERP. However, while direct links between glutamate activity and P3 ERP response in humans are suspected, mechanistic details remain largely unknown. We investigated here the relationships between P3 ERP and indices of glutamatergic processing measured in vivo with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-1 MRS). We hypothesized that a higher index of glutamatergic processing (glutamine/glutamate ratio; abbreviated Gln/Glu) in the anterior cingulate (ACC) and in the parietal-occipital (POC) cortices would associate with larger frontal P3a and parietal P3b amplitudes, respectively. Methods: Frontal P3a (Fz) and parietal P3b (Pz) were collected from 32 healthy participants who performed an auditory oddball task. Resting glutamate (Glu), glutamine (Gln), and Gln/Glu (an index of glutamatergic processing) measures were obtained on a 4 T MR scanner using J-resolved MR spectroscopy. Linear regression and partial correlations were used for statistical analysis. Results: Significant positive correlations were found between frontal P3a amplitude and ACC Gln/Glu ratio (partial R = 0.57; P = 0.001) and between frontal P3a amplitude and ACC Gln concentration (partial R = 0.43; P = 0.02). Relationships between parietal P3b and the glutamate indices in the POC were not significant. Conclusions: These results indicate a specific connection between an index of glutamate neurotransmitter function in ACC and frontal P3 ERP, providing a novel insight into the neurochemistry underlying scalp recorded EEG response. Abnormalities in glutamate neurotransmission have been observed in schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions and may underlie illness related deficits of P3 ERP. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

CA HSG TI Quantitative comparison of 21 protocols for labeling hippocampal subfields and parahippocampal subregions in in vivo MRI: Towards a harmonized segmentation protocol SO NEUROIMAGE LA English DT Article DE Hippocampus; Medial temporal lobe; Hippocampal subfields; CA1; CA2; CA3; Dentate gyrus; Subiculum; Entorhinal cortex; Perirhinal cortex; Parahippocampal gyrus; Magnetic resonance imaging; Segmentation; Unified protocol ID MEDIAL TEMPORAL-LOBE; HIGH-RESOLUTION MRI; MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT; APICAL NEUROPIL ATROPHY; ALZHEIMERS-DISEASE; VOLUMETRIC-ANALYSIS; FUNCTIONAL MRI; DENTATE GYRUS; CORTEX; AGE AB Objective: An increasing number of human in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have focused on examining the structure and function of the subfields of the hippocampal formation (the dentate gyrus, CA fields 1-3, and the subiculum) and subregions of the parahippocampal gyrus (entorhinal, perirhinal, and parahippocampal cortices). The ability to interpret the results of such studies and to relate them to each other would be improved if a common standard existed for labeling hippocampal subfields and parahippocampal subregions. Currently, research groups label different subsets of structures and use different rules, landmarks, and cues to define their anatomical extents. This paper characterizes, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the variability in the existing manual segmentation protocols for labeling hippocampal and parahippocampal substructures in MRI, with the goal of guiding subsequent work on developing a harmonized substructure segmentation protocol. Method: MRI scans of a single healthy adult human subject were acquired both at 3 T and 7 T. Representatives from 21 research groups applied their respective manual segmentation protocols to the MRI modalities of their choice. The resulting set of 21 segmentations was analyzed in a common anatomical space to quantify similarity and identify areas of agreement. Results: The differences between the 21 protocols include the region within which segmentation is performed, the set of anatomical labels used, and the extents of specific anatomical labels. The greatest overall disagreement among the protocols is at the CA1/subiculum boundary, and disagreement across all structures is greatest in the anterior portion of the hippocampal formation relative to the body and tail. Conclusions: The combined examination of the 21 protocols in the same dataset suggests possible strategies towards developing a harmonized subfield segmentation protocol and facilitates comparison between published studies.

Although neuroimaging studies of sustained attention tasks commonly find FEF activation, it is unclear how this region contributes to momentto-moment fluctuations in sustained performance. We sought to determine if the FEF plays a critical role in sustained attention, and if that role differs between periods of worse performance (out-of-the-zone) and periods of better performance (in-the-zone). We used offline 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to temporarily attenuate either right or left FEF excitability while participants performed a go/no-go sustained attention task (the gradual onset continuous performance task). The results demonstrate that following TMS to the right FEF, sustained attention during in-the-zone periods significantly worsened both in terms of lower accuracy and increased reaction time variability. In contrast, applying TMS to the left FEF did not significantly affect accuracy or variability. These results demonstrate that the right FEF plays a crucial role in supporting optimal sustained attention. Published by Elsevier Inc.

In addition, it is unclear how the algorithms would perform on previously unseen data, and thus, how they would perform in clinical practice when there is no real opportunity to adapt the algorithm to the data at hand. To address these comparability, generalizability and clinical applicability issues, we organized a grand challenge that aimed to objectively compare algorithms based on a clinically representative multi-center data set. Using clinical practice as the starting point, the goal was to reproduce the clinical diagnosis. Therefore, we evaluated algorithms for multi-class classification of three diagnostic groups: patients with probable Alzheimer's disease, patients with mild cognitive impairment and healthy controls. The diagnosis based on clinical criteria was used as reference standard, as it was the best available reference despite its known limitations. For evaluation, a previously unseen test set was used consisting of 354 T1-weighted MRI scans with the diagnoses blinded. Fifteen research teams participated with a total of 29 algorithms. The algorithms were trained on a small training set (n = 30) and optionally on data from other sources (e.g., the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, the Australian Imaging Biomarkers and Lifestyle flagship study of aging). The best performing algorithm yielded an accuracy of 63.0% and an area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC) of 78.8%. In general, the best performances were achieved using feature extraction based on voxel-based morphometry or a combination of features that included volume, cortical thickness, shape and intensity.

Our aim was to determine whether opioid modulation achieved through a combination of a mu-opioid partial agonist, buprenorphine (BUP), and a potent mu-opioid antagonist, samidorphan (SAM), would demonstrate antidepressant activity without addictive potential. A placebo-controlled crossover study assessed the opioid pharmacodynamic profile following escalating doses of SAM co-administered with BUP in opioid-experienced adults. A subsequent 1-week, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was conducted in subjects with MDD and an inadequate response to standard antidepressant therapy. This second study evaluated safety and efficacy of ratios of BUP/SAM that were associated with partial and with maximal blockade of opioid responses in the initial study. Pupillometry, visual analog scale assessments, and self-reported questionnaires demonstrated that increasing amounts of SAM added to a fixed dose of BUP resulted in dose-dependent reductions in objective and subjective opioid effects, including euphoria and drug liking, in opioid-experienced adults. Following 7 days of treatment in subjects with MDD, a 1 : 1 ratio of BUP and SAM, the ratio associated with maximal antagonism of opioid effects, exhibited statistically significant improvement vs placebo in HAM-D17 total score (p = 0.032) and nearly significant improvement in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score (p = 0.054). Overall, BUP/SAM therapy was well tolerated. A combination of BUP and SAM showed antidepressant activity in subjects with MDD. Balanced agonist-antagonist opioid modulation represents a novel and potentially clinically important approach to the treatment of MDD and other psychiatric disorders.

Successful management requires a fundamental understanding of the disease process, its clinical presentation, and proper evaluation. Treatment must be instituted early and is aimed at reversing the airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and hyper-reactivity that often lead to lower airway obstruction, impaired ventilation, and oxygenation. Most patients are effectively treated with standard therapy including beta2-adrenergic agonists and corticosteroids. Others necessitate adjunctive therapies and escalation to noninvasive ventilation or intubation. We will review the pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment options for pediatric patients presenting with status asthmaticus with a particular focus on refractory status asthmaticus treated with volatile anesthetics. In addition, we include a proven approach to the management of these patients in the critical care setting, which requires close coordination between critical care and anesthesia providers. We present a case series of three patients, two of which have the longest reported cases of continuous isoflurane use in status asthmaticus. This series was obtained from a retrospective chart review and highlights the efficacy of the volatile anesthetic, isoflurane, in three pediatric patients with refractory life-threatening status asthmaticus.

Breathing is the most important source of motion in whole-body PET and MRI studies, affecting not only thoracic organs but also those in the upper and even lower abdomen. The motion related to the pumping action of the heart is obviously relevant in high-resolution cardiac studies. These two sources of motion are periodic and predictable, at least to a first approximation, which means certain techniques can be used to control the motion (eg, by acquiring the data when the organ of interest is relatively at rest). Additionally, nonperiodic and unpredictable motion can also occur during the scan. One obvious limitation of methods relying on external devices (eg, respiratory bellows or the electrocardiogram signal to monitor the respiratory or cardiac cycle, respectively) to trigger or gate the data acquisition is that the complex motion of internal organs cannot be fully characterized. However, detailed information can be obtained using either the PET or MRI data (or both) allowing the more complete characterization of the motion field so that a motion model can be built. Such a model and the information derived from simple external devices can be used to minimize the effects of motion on the collected data. In the ideal case, all the events recorded during the PET scan would be used to generate a motion-free or corrected PET image. The detailed motion field can be used for this purpose by applying it to the PET data before, during, or after the image reconstruction. Integrating all these methods for motion control, characterization, and correction into a workflow that can be used for routine clinical studies is challenging but could potentially be extremely valuable given the improvement in image quality and reduction of motion-related image artifacts.

Although T1D and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are etiologically distinct, it has generally been assumed that CVD in T1D is "the same disease" as that found in T2D. Here, we review the most recent epidemiological and clinical studies on heart disease in T1D, highlighting differences between CVD in T1D and T2D. In addition, we discuss experimental and clinical evidence for a post-myocardial infarction (MI) autoimmune heart syndrome in T1D, including the development of diagnostic assays which we believe can, for the first time, differentiate between heart disease in T1D and T2D. We postulate that a clinically unrecognized form of chronic myocardial inflammation ("myocarditis") triggered by MI contributes to the poor CVD outcomes in T1D. These findings provide a conceptual shift in our understanding of CVD in T1D and have important diagnostic and therapeutic implications.
