Multiple pathogenic mechanisms can contribute to kidney injury in the patient with myeloma, some of which are the result of nephrotoxic monoclonal Ig and some of which are independent of paraprotein deposition. The pathogenic mechanisms that underlie paraprotein-related kidney disease are increasingly well understood. A novel assay allowing the quantification of free light chains in the serum has aided the diagnosis of new onset disease and allowed for the earlier detection of relapse. Novel myeloma agents have shown considerable promise in reversing renal failure in some patients and improving outcomes. Stem cell transplantation remains a mainstay of management for younger patients with myeloma who are suitable candidates for intensive therapy, whereas the role of new drugs, plasma exchange, and kidney transplantation continues to evolve.

SO CLINICAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF NEPHROLOGY LA English DT Review ID CRITICALLY-ILL PATIENTS; METABOLIC-ACIDOSIS; LABORATORY EVALUATION; CLINICAL-DIAGNOSIS; HYPERLACTATEMIA; HYPOALBUMINEMIA; MORTALITY; LACTATE; SCREEN AB The serum anion gap has been utilized to identify errors in the measurement of electrolytes, to detect paraproteins, and, most relevant to the nephrologist, to evaluate patients with suspected acid-base disorders. In regard to the latter purpose, traditionally an increased anion gap is identified when it exceeds the upper limit of normal for a particular clinical laboratory measurement. However, because there is a wide range of normal values (often 8-10 mEq/L), an increase in anion concentration can be present in the absence of an increased anion gap. In addition, the type of retained anion can affect the magnitude of the increase in anion gap relative to change in serum [HCO3-] being greater with lactic acidosis compared with ketoacidosis. This review examines the methods of calculation of the serum anion gap in textbooks and published literature, the effect of perturbations other than changes in acid-base balance, and its effectiveness in identifying mild and more severe disturbances in acid-base balance. Limitations of the present methods of determining the normal anion gap and change in the anion gap are highlighted. The possibility of identifying the baseline value for individuals to optimize the use of the calculation in the detection of metabolic acidosis is suggested.

Targeted BCR-ABL protein kinase inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and have established tyrosine kinase inhibition as a model for cancer-drug discovery and therapy in general. In 2001, imatinib became the first such tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Initially developed as part of a series of compounds that inhibit the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, imatinib was also shown to have potency against ABL and KIT kinases. Despite imatinib's breakthrough success, more than 20% of patients are resistant to the drug. Therefore, second- and third-generation inhibitors dasatinib, ...

We conducted a phase 2 trial of ponatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-positive ALL). MethodsWe enrolled 449 heavily pretreated patients who had CML or Ph-positive ALL with resistance to or unacceptable side effects from dasatinib or nilotinib or who had the BCR-ABL T315I mutation. Ponatinib was administered at an initial dose of 45 mg once daily. The median follow-up was 15 months. ResultsAmong 267 patients with chronic-phase CML, 56% had a major cytogenetic response (51% of patients with resistance to or unacceptable side effects from dasatinib or nilotinib and 70% of patients with the T315I mutation), 46% had a complete cytogenetic response (40% and 66% in the two subgroups, respectively), and 34% had a major molecular response (27% and 56% in the two subgroups, respectively). Responses were observed regardless of the baseline BCR-ABL kinase domain mutation status and were durable; the estimated rate of a sustained major cytogenetic response of at least 12 months was 91%. No single BCR-ABL mutation conferring resistance to ponatinib was detected. Among 83 patients with accelerated-phase CML, 55% had a major hematologic response and 39% had a major cytogenetic response. Among 62 patients with blast-phase CML, 31% had a major hematologic response and 23% had a major cytogenetic response. Among 32 patients with Ph-positive ALL, 41% had a major hematologic response and 47% had a major cytogenetic response. Common adverse events were thrombocytopenia (in 37% of patients), rash (in 34%), dry skin (in 32%), and abdominal pain (in 22%). Serious arterial thrombotic events were observed in 9% of patients; these events were considered to be treatment-related in 3%. A total of 12% of patients discontinued treatment because of an adverse event. ConclusionsPonatinib had significant antileukemic activity across categories of disease stage and mutation status.

Tissue activation is, however, negligible near the distal dose fall-off region of the proton beam range due to their high interaction energy thresholds. Therefore Monte Carlo simulation is often supplemented for comparison with measurement; however, this also may be associated with systematic and statistical uncertainties. Therefore, we sought to test the feasibility of using long-lived proton-activated external materials that are inserted or infused into the target volume for more accurate proton beam range verification that could be performed at an off-site PET scanner. We irradiated samples of >= 98% O-18-enriched water, natural Cu foils, and >97% Zn-68-enriched foils as candidate materials, along with samples of tissue-equivalent materials including O-16 water, heptane (C7H16), and polycarbonate (C16H14O3)(n), at four depths (ranging from 100% to 3% of center of modulation (COM) dose) along the distal fall-off of a modulated 160 MeV proton beam. Samples were irradiated either directly or after being embedded in Plastic Water (R) or balsa wood. We then measured the activity of the samples using PET imaging for 20 or 30 min after various delay times. Measured activities of candidate materials were up to 100 times greater than those of the tissue-equivalent materials at the four distal dose fall-off depths.

TI Relationships among parent and youth healthful eating attitudes and youth dietary intake in a cross-sectional study of youth with type 1 diabetes SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LA English DT Article DE Dietary intake; Social cognitive theory; Type 1 diabetes; Children; Adolescents ID SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY; CARDIOVASCULAR RISK-FACTORS; VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION; SELF-EFFICACY; ENVIRONMENTAL-INFLUENCES; PHYSICAL-ACTIVITY; GLYCEMIC CONTROL; CHILDREN; FRUIT; ADOLESCENTS AB Background: Constructs based on Social Cognitive Theory have shown utility in understanding dietary behavior; however, little research has examined these relations in youth and parents concurrently. Unique demands of dietary management among families of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) suggest the importance of investigation in this population. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate youth and parent measures of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and barriers for healthful eating, and parent modeling of healthful eating, in a sample of youth with type 1 diabetes and their parents. Methods: Youth (n= 252) ages 8-18 years with diabetes duration = 1 year and parents completed self-report measures of healthful eating attitudes including self-efficacy, perceived barriers, positive and negative outcome expectations; youth reported parent modeling of healthful eating. Youth dietary intake from 3-day diet records was used to calculate the Healthy Eating Index 2005 and the Nutrient Rich Foods 9.3 index, measures of overall diet quality. The relations among parent and youth healthful eating attitudes, parent modeling, and youth diet quality were examined using structural equation modeling. Results: Internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the measures were acceptable. The structural equation model demonstrated acceptable fit (CFI/TLI= 0.94/0.94; RMSEA= 0.03), and items loaded the hypothesized factors. Parent modeling (beta) over cap = : 27; p = 02) and attitudes toward healthful eating (latent variable comprised of self-efficacy, barriers, outcome expectations) ((beta) over cap = : 16; p = 04) had direct effects on youth diet quality. Parent modeling had a direct effect on youth attitudes ((beta) over cap = : 49; p < : 001) ; parent attitudes had an indirect effect on youth attitudes through parent modeling (<(beta)over cap> =: 12; p;< : 001). Youth attitudes were not associated with youth diet quality. Overall, the model accounted for 20% of the variance in child diet quality. Conclusions: Parent diet-related behaviors demonstrated an impact on youth attitudes and diet quality, suggesting the importance of family-based clinical and public health efforts to improve diet.

However, the causes and neuropathogenesis of POCD remain largely unknown. Uncontrolled pain often occurs postoperatively. We therefore set out to determine the effects of surgical incision-induced nociception on the cognitive function and its underlying mechanisms in 3- and 9-month-old mice. The mice had surgical incision in the hindpaw and then were tested for nociceptive threshold, learning, and memory. Brain levels of NMDA receptor and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) were also assessed. We found that surgical incision-induced nociception in mice led to a decreased freezing time in the tone test (which assesses the hippocampus-independent learning and memory function), but not the context test, of Fear Conditioning System at 3 and 7 d, but not 30 d post incision in 9-month-old, but not 3-month-old mice. Consistently, the surgical incision selectively decreased synaptic NMDA receptor 2B levels in the medial prefrontal cortex, and increased levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and CDK5 in the cortex, but not hippocampus, of the mice. Finally, eutectic mixture of local anesthetics and CDK5 inhibitor, roscovitine, attenuated the surgical incision-induced reduction in the synaptic NMDA receptor 2B levels and learning impairment. These results suggested that surgical incision-induced nociception reduced the synaptic NMDA receptor 2B level in the medial prefrontal cortex of mice, which might lead to hippocampus-independent learning impairment, contributing to POCD. These findings call for further investigation to determine the role of surgical incision-induced nociception in POCD.

According to our previous results and the possible structural stereohindrance compatibility of the A beta peptide and the hydrophobic/hydrophilic property of the A beta 13-20 (HHQKLVFF) fragment, NIR imaging probe CRANAD-58 was designed and synthesized. As expected CRANAD-58 showed significant fluorescence property changes upon mixing with both soluble and insoluble A beta species in vitro. In vivo NIR imaging revealed that CRANAD-58 was capable of differentiating transgenic and wild-type mice as young as 4 months old, the age that lacks apparently visible A beta plaques and A beta is likely in its soluble forms. According to our limited studies on the interaction mechanism between CRANAD-58 and A beta, we also designed CRANAD-17 to attenuate the cross-linking of A beta 42 induced by copper. It is well-known that the coordination of copper with imidazoles on Histidine-13 and 14 (H13, H14) of A beta peptides could initialize covalent cross-linking of A beta. In CRANAD-17, a curcumin scaffold was used as an anchoring moiety to usher the designed compound to the vicinity of H13 and H14 of A beta, and imidazole rings were incorporated to compete with H13/H14 for copper binding. The results of SDS-PAGE gel and Western blot indicated that CRANAD-17 was capable of inhibiting A beta 42 cross-linking induced by copper. This raises a potential for CRANAD-17 to be considered for AD therapy.

TI The Effects of Age and the Expression of SPARC on Extracellular Matrix Production by Cardiac Fibroblasts in 3-D Cultures SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID FIBRILLAR COLLAGEN CONTENT; DIASTOLIC FUNCTION ROLE; CONNECTIVE-TISSUE; IN-VITRO; NETWORK; HEART; BIOLOGY; MUSCLE; TENDON AB Fibrillar collagen is the primary component of the cardiac interstitial extracellular matrix. This extracellular matrix undergoes dramatic changes from birth to adulthood and then into advanced age. As evidence, fibrillar collagen content was compared in sections from neonates, adult, and old hearts and was found to increase at each respective age. Cardiac fibroblasts are the principle cell type that produce and control fibrillar collagen content. To determine whether fibroblast production, processing, and deposition of collagen differed with age, primary cardiac fibroblasts from neonate, adult, and old mice were isolated and cultured in 3-dimensional (3D) fibrin gels. Fibroblasts from each age aligned in fibrin gels along points of tension and deposited extracellular matrix. By confocal microscopy, wild-type neonate fibroblasts appeared to deposit less collagen into fibrillar structures than fibroblasts from adults. However, by immunoblot analysis, differences in procollagen production and processing of collagen I were not detected in neonate versus adult fibroblasts. In contrast, fibroblasts from old mice demonstrated increased efficiency of procollagen processing coupled with decreased production of total collagen. SPARC is a collagen-binding protein previously shown to affect cardiac collagen deposition. Accordingly, in the absence of SPARC, less collagen appeared to be associated with fibroblasts of each age grown in fibrin gels. In addition, the increased efficiency of procollagen alpha 1(I) processing in old wild-type fibroblasts was not detected in old SPARC-null fibroblasts. Increased levels of fibronectin were detected in wild-type neonate fibroblasts over that of adult and old fibroblasts but not in SPARC-null neonate fibroblasts versus older ages. Immunostaining of SPARC overlapped with that of collagen I but not to that of fibronectin in 3D cultures. Hence, whereas increases in procollagen processing, influenced by SPARC expression, plausibly contribute to increased collagen deposition in old hearts, other cellular mechanisms likely affect differential collagen deposition by neonate fibroblasts.

TI Homogeneous Expansion of Human T-Regulatory Cells Via Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 SO SCIENTIFIC REPORTS LA English DT Article ID IN-VITRO EXPANSION; PERIPHERAL-BLOOD; INCREASED POPULATIONS; AUTOIMMUNE-DISEASES; PROMOTES EXPANSION; RAPAMYCIN; VIVO; TNF; STRATEGIES; INHIBITOR AB T-regulatory cells (T-regs) are a rare lymphocyte subtype that shows promise for treating infectious disease, allergy, graft-versus-host disease, autoimmunity, and asthma. Clinical applications of T-regs have not been fully realized because standard methods of expansion ex vivo produce heterogeneous progeny consisting of mixed populations of CD4 + T cells. Heterogeneous progeny are risky for human clinical trials and face significant regulatory hurdles. With the goal of producing homogeneous T-regs, we developed a novel expansion protocol targeting tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFR) on T-regs. In in vitro studies, a TNFR2 agonist was found superior to standard methods in proliferating human T-regs into a phenotypically homogeneous population consisting of 14 cell surface markers. The TNFR2 agonist-expanded T-regs also were functionally superior in suppressing a key T-reg target cell, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Targeting the TNFR2 receptor during ex vivo expansion is a new means for producing homogeneous and potent human T-regs for clinical opportunities.

Methods: The International Primary CNS Lymphoma Collaborative Group, a multidisciplinary group of physicians with a particular interest in primary CNS lymphoma, retrospectively identified cases of lymphoma isolated to the leptomeninges as diagnosed by CSF cytology, flow cytometry, or biopsy, without systemic or parenchymal brain/spinal cord lymphoma or immunodeficiency. Results: Forty-eight patients were identified, with median age at diagnosis of 51 years and median Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 2. Presenting symptoms were multifocal in 68%. Leptomeningeal enhancement was seen in 74% and CSF profile was abnormal in all cases. CSF cytology detected malignant lymphocytes in 67%. Flow cytometry identified monoclonal population in 80%, as did receptor gene rearrangement studies in 71%. Sixty-two percent had B-cell lymphoma, 19% T-cell, and 19% unclassified. Treatment varied and included fractionated radiotherapy (36%), systemic chemotherapy (78%), and intra-CSF chemotherapy (66%), with 66% receiving >= 2 modalities. Seventy-one percent had a favorable clinical response; ultimately, 44% received salvage treatment. Median overall survival was 24 months, with 11 patients still alive at 50 months follow-up. Conclusion: Primary leptomeningeal lymphoma is a rare form of primary CNS lymphoma. Patients usually present with multifocal symptoms, with evidence of leptomeningeal enhancement and diagnostic CSF analysis. Although treatment is highly variable, patients have a better prognosis than previously reported and a subset may be cured.

TI Exercise Induces Hippocampal BDNF through a PGC-1 alpha/FNDC5 Pathway SO CELL METABOLISM LA English DT Article ID MITOCHONDRIAL BIOGENESIS; PHYSICAL-ACTIVITY; RECEPTOR-ALPHA; GROWTH-FACTOR; ERR-ALPHA; HEPATIC GLUCONEOGENESIS; SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY; COGNITIVE FUNCTION; ENERGY-METABOLISM; COACTIVATOR PGC-1 AB Exercise can improve cognitive function and has been linked to the increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving the elevation of this neurotrophin remain unknown. Here we show that FNDC5, a previously identified muscle protein that is induced in exercise and is cleaved and secreted as irisin, is also elevated by endurance exercise in the hippocampus of mice. Neuronal Fndc5 gene expression is regulated by PGC-1 alpha, and Pgc1a(-/-) mice show reduced Fndc5 expression in the brain. Forced expression of FNDC5 in primary cortical neurons increases Bdnf expression, whereas RNAi-mediated knockdown of FNDC5 reduces Bdnf. Importantly, peripheral delivery of FNDC5 to the liver via adenoviral vectors, resulting in elevated blood irisin, induces expression of Bdnf and other neuroprotective genes in the hippocampus. Taken together, our findings link endurance exercise and the important metabolic mediators, PGC-1 alpha and FNDC5, with BDNF expression in the brain.

This revelation has led researchers to consider candidate mechanisms precipitating the cascade of neuropathological events that eventually lead to clinical Alzheimer's disease. Insulin, a hormone with potent effects in the brain, has recently received a great deal of attention for its potential beneficial and protective role in cognitive function. Insulin resistance, which refers to the reduced sensitivity of target tissues to the favorable effects of insulin, is related to multiple chronic conditions known to impact cognition and increase dementia risk. With insulin resistance-associated conditions reaching epidemic proportions, the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders will continue to rise exponentially. Fortunately, these chronic insulin-related conditions are amenable to pharmacological intervention. As a result, novel therapeutic strategies that focus on increasing insulin sensitivity in the brain may be an important target for protecting or treating cognitive decline. The following review will highlight our current understanding of the role of insulin in brain, potential mechanisms underlying the link between insulin resistance and dementia, and current experimental therapeutic strategies aimed at improving cognitive function via modifying the brain's insulin sensitivity.

Conceptually, ectopic fat depots may be divided into systemically acting fat depots and locally acting fat depots. Systemically acting fat depots include visceral fat, fat in the liver, muscle, or neck, and subcutaneous fat. Accumulation in the abdominal visceral area, compared with overall obesity, has an equally or more important role in the development of cardiometabolic risk. Fat depots in liver/muscle tissue cause adverse cardiometabolic effects by affecting energy metabolism. Fat depots in lower-body subcutaneous areas may be protective regarding cardiometabolic risk, by trapping remnant energy. Fat accumulation in the neck is a unique type of fat depot that may increase cardiovascular risk by increasing insulin resistance. Locally acting fat depots include pericardial fat, perivascular fat, and renal sinus fat. These fat depots have effects primarily on adjacent anatomic organs, directly via lipotoxicity and indirectly via cytokine secretion. Pericardial fat is associated with coronary atherosclerosis. Perivascular fat may play an independent role in adverse vascular biology, including arterial stiffness. Renal sinus fat is a unique fat depot that may confer additional cardiometabolic risk. Thus, ectopic fat depots may contribute to the understanding of the link between body composition and cardiometabolic risk. In this review, we focus on the role and clinical implications of ectopic fat depots in cardiometabolic and vascular risk. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Here, we characterize the naturally secreted Vargula luciferase as a secreted blood reporter and show that this reporter can be multiplexed with the secreted Gaussia luciferase and alkaline phosphatase for simultaneous monitoring of three different cellular processes in the same biological system. We applied this system to monitor the response of three different subsets of glioma cells to a clinically relevant chemotherapeutic agent in the same well in culture or animal in vivo. This system could be extended to any field to detect multiple processes in the same biological system and is amenable for high-throughput screening to find drugs that affect multiple cellular populations/phenomena simultaneously.

Case reports suggest that bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventro-postero-lateral internal globus pallidus (GPi) may benefit these patients. To explore this issue, the present multicentre (n=12) retrospective study collected the short and long term outcome of 15 patients who underwent DBS. Methods: Data were collected in a standardized way 2-6 months preoperatively, 1-5 months (early) and 6 months or more (late) after surgery at the last follow-up visit (mean follow-up: 29.5 months). Results: Motor severity, assessed by the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale-Motor Score, UHDRS-MS), was significantly reduced at both early and late post-surgery time points (mean improvement 54.3% and 44.1%, respectively). Functional capacity (UHDRS-Functional Capacity Score) was also significantly improved at both post-surgery time points (mean 75.5% and 73.3%, respectively), whereas incapacity (UHDRS-Independence Score) improvement reached significance at early post-surgery only (mean 37.3%). Long term significant improvement of motor symptom severity (>= 20 % from baseline) was observed in 61.5 % of the patients. Chorea and dystonia improved, whereas effects on dysarthria and swallowing were variable. Parkinsonism did not improve. Linear regression analysis showed that preoperative motor severity predicted motor improvement at both post-surgery time points. The most serious adverse event was device infection and cerebral abscess, and one patient died suddenly of unclear cause, 4 years after surgery. Conclusion: This study shows that bilateral DBS of the GPi effectively reduces the severity of drug-resistant hyperkinetic movement disorders such as present in ChAc.

However, over time, most tumors develop acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs, which is associated with the secondary EGFR T790M resistance mutation in about half the cases. Currently there are no effective treatment options for patients with this resistance mutation. Here we identified two novel HLA-A*0201 (A2)-restricted T cell epitopes containing the mutated methionine residue of the EGFR T790M mutation, T790M-5 (MQLMPFGCLL) and T790M-7 (LIMQLMPFGCL), as potential targets for EGFR-TKI-resistant patients. When peripheral blood cells were repeatedly stimulated in vitro with these two peptides and assessed by antigen-specific IFN-gamma secretion, T cell lines responsive to T790M-5 and T790M-7 were established in 5 of 6 (83%) and 3 of 6 (50%) healthy donors, respectively. Additionally, the T790M-5- and T790M-7-specific T cell lines displayed an MHC class I-restricted reactivity against NSCLC cell lines expressing both HLA-A2 and the T790M mutation. Interestingly, the NSCLC patients with antigen-specific T cell responses to these epitopes showed a significantly less frequency of EGFR-T790M mutation than those without them [1 of 7 (14%) vs 9 of 15 (60%); chi-squared test, p = 0.0449], indicating the negative correlation between the immune responses to the EGFR-T790M-derived epitopes and the presence of EGFR-T790M mutation in NSCLC patients. This finding could possibly be explained by the hypothesis that immune responses to the mutated neo-antigens derived from T790M might prevent the emergence of tumor cell variants with the T790M resistance mutation in NSCLC patients during EGFR-TKI treatment. Together, our results suggest that the identified T cell epitopes might provide a novel immunotherapeutic approach for prevention and/or treatment of EGFR-TKI resistance with the secondary EGFR T790M resistance mutation in NSCLC patients.

TI Recognition of synthetic glycopeptides by HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies and their unmutated ancestors SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID HUMAN MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES; ENVELOPE; PROTEIN; DESIGN; PG9; PEPTIDES; EPITOPES; BINDING; RV144; IDENTIFICATION AB Current HIV-1 vaccines elicit strain-specific neutralizing antibodies. Broadly neutralizing antibodies (BnAbs) are not induced by current vaccines, but are found in plasma in similar to 20% of HIV-1-infected individuals after several years of infection. One strategy for induction of unfavored antibody responses is to produce homogeneous immunogens that selectively express BnAb epitopes but minimally express dominant strain-specific epitopes. Here we report that synthetic, homogeneously glycosylated peptides that bind avidly to variable loop 1/2 (V1V2) BnAbs PG9 and CH01 bind minimally to strain-specific neutralizing V2 antibodies that are targeted to the same envelope polypeptide site. Both oligomannose derivatization and conformational stabilization by disulfide-linked dimer formation of synthetic V1V2 peptides were required for strong binding of V1V2 BnAbs. An HIV-1 vaccine should target BnAb unmutated common ancestor (UCA) B-cell receptors of naive B cells, but to date no HIV-1 envelope constructs have been found that bind to the UCA of V1V2 BnAb PG9. We demonstrate herein that V1V2 glycopeptide dimers bearing Man(5)GlcNAc(2) glycan units bind with apparent nanomolar affinities to UCAs of V1V2 BnAbs PG9 and CH01 and with micromolar affinity to the UCA of a V2 strain-specific antibody. The higher-affinity binding of these V1V2 glycopeptides to BnAbs and their UCAs renders these glycopeptide constructs particularly attractive immunogens for targeting subdominant HIV-1 envelope V1V2-neutralizing antibody-producing B cells.

The energy-sensing AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is known to be a major cellular target of biguanides. Based on our discovery of cross-talk between the AMPK and v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) signaling pathways, we investigated the antitumor effects of combining phenformin with a BRAF inhibitor PLX4720 on the proliferation of BRAF-mutated melanoma cells in vitro and on BRAF-driven tumor growth in vivo. Cotreatment of BRAF-mutated melanoma cell lines with phenformin and PLX4720 resulted in synergistic inhibition of cell viability, compared with the effects of the single agent alone. Moreover, treatment with phenformin significantly delayed the development of resistance to PLX4720 in cultured melanoma cells. Biochemical analyses showed that phenformin and PLX4720 exerted cooperative effects on inhibiting mTOR signaling and inducing apoptosis. Noticeably, phenformin selectively targeted subpopulations of cells expressing JARID1B, a marker for slow cycling melanoma cells, whereas PLX4720 selectively targeted JARID1B-negative cells. Finally, in contrast to their use as single agents, the combination of phenformin and PLX4720 induced tumor regression in both nude mice bearing melanoma xenografts and in a genetically engineered BRAF(V600E)/PTENnull-driven mouse model of melanoma. These results strongly suggest that significant therapeutic advantage may be achieved by combining AMPK activators such as phenformin with BRAF inhbitors for the treatment of melanoma.

There are no generally accepted criteria for management of these patients. Therefore, in September 2012, a literature survey of studies published after 1995 was performed to analyze the data regarding clinical outcomes of patients with OTPHV treated with thrombolytic agents and with surgery since 1996. The search yielded appropriate and relevant studies, which included 17 studies comprising 756 patients who had received thrombolytic therapy and 13 studies comprising 662 patients who had received surgery. The data on these 2 groups was analyzed in detail relating to frequency of use of the diagnostic studies, baseline patient data, and on the rate of complete success, outcomes, and complications of the therapy they had received, and the limitations of the studies. We have then developed a strategy for therapy of OTPHV.

Background Plaque erosion and calcified nodule have not been systematically investigated in vivo. Methods A total of 126 patients with ACS who had undergone pre-intervention OCT imaging were included. The culprit lesions were classified as plaque rupture (PR), erosion (OCT-erosion), calcified nodule (OCT-CN), or with a new set of diagnostic criteria for OCT. Results The incidences of PR, OCT-erosion, and OCT-CN were 43.7%, 31.0%, and 7.9%, respectively. Patients with OCTerosion were the youngest, compared with those with PR and OCT-CN (53.8 +/- 13.1 years vs. 60.6 +/- 11.5 years, 65.1 +/- 5.0 years, p = 0.005). Compared with patients with PR, presentation with non-ST-segment elevation ACS was more common in patients with OCT-erosion (61.5% vs. 29.1%, p = 0.008) and OCT-CN (100% vs. 29.1%, p < 0.001). The OCT-erosion had a lower frequency of lipid plaque (43.6% vs. 100%, p < 0.001), thicker fibrous cap (169.3 +/- 99.1 mu m vs. 60.4 +/- 16.6 mu m, p < 0.001), and smaller lipid arc (202.8 +/- 73.6 degrees vs. 275.8 +/- 60.4 degrees, p < 0.001) than PR. The diameter stenosis was least severe in OCT-erosion, followed by OCT-CN and PR (55.4 +/- 14.7% vs. 66.1 +/- 13.5% vs. 68.8 +/- 12.9%, p < 0.001). Conclusions Optical coherence tomography is a promising modality for identifying OCT-erosion and OCT-CN in vivo. The OCTerosion is a frequent finding in patients with ACS, especially in those with non-ST-segment elevation ACS and younger patients. The OCT-CN is the least common etiology for ACS and is more common in older patients.

TI One size does not fit all: evaluating an intervention to reduce antibiotic prescribing for acute bronchitis SO BMC HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Antibiotics; Clinician practice patterns; Patient education; Quality improvement ID RESPIRATORY-TRACT INFECTIONS; RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; UNCOMPLICATED ACUTE BRONCHITIS; PRIMARY-CARE; CLUSTER; ADULTS; PRINCIPLES; MANAGEMENT; PROGRAM; COUGH AB Background: Overuse of antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) and acute bronchitis is a persistent and vexing problem. In the U.S., more than half of all patients with upper respiratory tract infections and acute bronchitis are treated with antibiotics annually, despite the fact that most cases are viral in etiology and are not responsive to antibiotics. Interventions aiming to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing have had mixed results, and successes have been modest. The objective of this evaluation is to use mixed methods to understand why a multi-level intervention to reduce antibiotic prescribing for acute bronchitis among primary care providers resulted in measurable improvement in only one third of participating clinicians. Methods: Clinician perspectives on print-based and electronic intervention strategies, and antibiotic prescribing more generally, were elicited through structured telephone surveys at high and low performing sites after the first year of intervention at the Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania (n = 29). Results: Compared with a survey on antibiotic use conducted 10 years earlier, clinicians demonstrated greater awareness of antibiotic resistance and how it is impacted by individual prescribing decisions-including their own. However, persistent perceived barriers to reducing prescribing included patient expectations, time pressure, and diagnostic uncertainty, and these factors were reported as differentially undermining specific intervention components' effectiveness. An exam room poster depicting a diagnostic algorithm was the most popular strategy. Conclusions: Future efforts to reduce antibiotic prescribing should address multi-level barriers identified by clinicians and tailor strategies to differences at individual clinician and group practice levels, focusing in particular on changing how patients and providers make decisions together about antibiotic use.

However, using light to visualize DNA in animals is limited by the attenuation of light transmission by biological tissues. Moreover, it is now clear that DNA is an important mediator of dead cell clearance, coagulation reactions, and an immunogen in autoimmune lupus. Attaching metals (e.g., superparamagnetic nanoparticles, gadolinium ions, radioactive metal ions) to DNA-binding fluorochromes provides a way of imaging DNA in whole animals, and potentially humans, without light. Imaging metal-bearing, DNA-binding fluorochromes and their target DNA by magnetic resonance imaging may shed light on the many key roles of DNA in health and disease beyond the storage of genetic information.

Although the total number of patients studied to date is small, mutations in the kisspeptin pathway appear to result in lifelong GnRH deficiency. Mice with mutations in kisspeptin and the kisspeptin receptor, Kiss1(-/-) and Kiss1r(-/-), respectively, appear to be phenocopies of the human with abnormal sexual maturation and infertility. In contrast, mutations in the neurokinin B pathway lead to a more variable adult reproductive phenotype, with a subset of hypogonadotrophic individuals demonstrating paradoxical recovery of reproductive function later in life. While 'reversal' remains poorly understood, the ability to recover reproductive function indicates that neurokinin B may play different roles in the initiation of sexual maturation compared with the maintenance of adult reproductive function. Mice with mutations in the gene encoding the neurokinin B receptor, Tacr3, have abnormal oestrous cycles and subfertility but, similar to their human counterparts, appear less severely affected than mice with kisspeptin deficiency. Further investigations into the interaction between the kisspeptin and neurokinin B pathways will reveal key insights into how GnRH neuronal modulation occurs at puberty and throughout reproductive life.

TI Understanding cohort differences in appraisals of reconstruction priorities of mental health systems in post-conflict Liberia SO AFRICAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article DE Mental Health; Liberia; Treatment Settings; Elders; Needs Assessment ID WAR; REFUGEES; VIOLENCE; TRAUMA; POLICY; CARE AB Objective: This study analyzes the relationship between informants' age and their assessment of mental health needs in post-conflict society and examines if mental health needs assessment priorities differ depending upon whether or not the informant was exposed to the Liberian civil war. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in March 2009 to obtain data on mental health needs of Liberian children, adolescents and young adults. A total of 171 individuals were interviewed. The data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA. Results: Elder respondents expressed a preference for young adults to receive services in a church/mosque (F = 4.020, p < .05); for adolescents in volunteer programs (F = 3.987, p < .05) and for children in sports programs (F = 4.396, p < .05). Experiencing conflict did exert some influence on treatment setting preferences. Those who resided outside Liberia during the conflict cited a preference for traditional healers and medical clinics. However, this preference was for the children and young adult age categories. Those who experienced the civil war reported significantly higher preferences for adolescent services to be located in medical clinics, with traditional healers, and in churches/mosques. Conclusion: This study provides additional support for the premise that the utilization of psychiatric services needs to be viewed from the perspective of Liberians and that there are differences in preferences across groups. Our results suggest that service providers and policy makers take into account the age of the patient when deciding where to locate treatment settings for the population. C1 [Gray, D.

TI Relationship Quality and Patient-Assessed Quality of Care in VA Primary Care Clinics: Development and Validation of the Work Relationships Scale SO ANNALS OF FAMILY MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE relationships; primary care; quality of care; patient satisfaction; Veteran's Administration ID RELATIONSHIP-CENTERED CARE; HEALTH-CARE; VETERANS; TRANSFORMATION AB PURPOSE Efforts to better understand the impact of clinic member relationships on care quality in primary care clinics have been limited by the absence of a validated instrument to assess these relationships. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale assessing relationships within primary care clinics. METHODS The Work Relationships Scale (WRS) was developed and administered as part of a survey of learning and relationships among 17 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) primary care clinics. A Rasch partial-credit model and principal components analysis were used to evaluate item performance, select the final items for inclusion, and establish unidimensionality for the WRS. The WRS was then validated against semistructured clinic member interviews and VA Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients (SHEP) data. RESULTS Four hundred fifty-seven clinicians and staff completed the clinic survey, and 247 participated in semistructured interviews. WRS scores were significantly associated with clinic-level reporting for 2 SHEP variables: overall rating of personal doctor/nurse (r(2) = 0.43, P <. 01) and overall rating of health care (r(2) = 0.25, P <. 05). Interview data describing relationship characteristics were consistent with variability in WRS scores across low-scoring and high-scoring clinics. CONCLUSIONS The WRS shows promising validity as a measure assessing the quality of relationships in primary care settings; moreover, primary care clinics with lower WRS scores received poorer patient quality ratings for both individual clinicians and overall health care. Relationships play an important role in shaping care delivery and should be assessed as part of efforts to improve patient care within primary care settings.

It is characterized by protean manifestations, an unpredictable disease course and variable outcomes. Clinical manifestations reflect underlying autoimmunity, small vessel vasculopathy and progressive multi-organ fibrosis. Predicting disease progression, pattern and severity of complications and response to therapy in SSc remain major challenges both for the management of patients and for the development of effective disease-modifying therapies. This review summarizes contemporary understanding of novel and emerging biomarkers for SSc. We focus on the development of new classification criteria, the utility of SSc-specific autoantibodies as diagnostic and prognostic markers, and on biomarkers for skin and lung involvement. Finally, we review genome-wide expression analysis as a tool to predict therapeutic responses. We anticipate that the development, validation and application of these biomarkers, singly or more likely in combination, will have a transformative impact in SSc, informing early diagnosis, classification and management, as well as the design, execution and interpretation of clinical trials of novel therapeutic agents.

TI Metal Hypersensitivity Reactions to Implants: Opinions and Practices of Patch Testing Dermatologists SO DERMATITIS LA English DT Article ID IN-STENT RESTENOSIS; ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANTS; CONTACT-DERMATITIS; BONE-CEMENT; ALLERGY; NICKEL; ASSOCIATION; SURGERY; DEVICES AB Background Cutaneous metal hypersensitivity reactions (MHR) are common but rare with implanted devices. Objectives This study aimed to characterize the opinions of dermatologists who are actively evaluating/advising patients with MHR. Methods A questionnaire was distributed to all individuals who attended the European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD) 2012 and the American Contact Dermatitis Society 2013 meetings. Results A total of 119 individuals responded with a participation rates of 10% (ESCD) and 32% (American Contact Dermatitis Society). Ninety-six percent of the respondents evaluate MHR and 91% were attending physicians. Orthopedic and dental devices were common problems compared with cardiovascular devices. Patch testing is the top choice for evaluating MHR. Lymphocyte transformation and intradermal tests are rarely used. Eighty-two percent of the respondents evaluate plastic/glue components in symptomatic patients postimplant. Most dermatologists use a tray specifically for joint allergy or a history-based custom array of allergens. Those patients with a strong clinical history of metal allergy should be evaluated before metal implantation (54%), whereas others forgo evaluation and recommend a titanium implant based on history alone (38%). Diagnostic criteria for postimplant reactions were evaluated. Eight percent of the respondents felt that no evaluation was necessary, with ESCD respondents being significantly more likely to not recommend evaluation (P = 0.001). Conclusions Metal hypersensitivity reactions consultation requests are common for preimplant and postimplant issues. Patch testing is currently the best test for MHR.

TI Mediterranean and DASH Diet Scores and Mortality in Women With Heart Failure SO CIRCULATION-HEART FAILURE LA English DT Article DE diet; heart failure; mortality; nutrition ID STOP HYPERTENSION; BLOOD-PRESSURE; CARDIOVASCULAR-DISEASE; LIFE-STYLE; RISK; ADHERENCE; PREVENTION; QUALITY; ASSOCIATIONS; PROTEIN AB Background Current dietary recommendations for patients with heart failure (HF) are largely based on data from non-HF populations; evidence on associations of dietary patterns with outcomes in HF is limited. We therefore evaluated associations of Mediterranean and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet scores with mortality among postmenopausal women with HF. Methods and Results Women's Health Initiative participants were followed up from the date of HF hospitalization through the date of death or last participant contact before August 2009. Mediterranean and DASH diet scores were calculated from food-frequency questionnaires. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for demographics, health behaviors, and health status were used to calculate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI). For a median of 4.6 years of follow-up, 1385 of 3215 (43.1%) participants who experienced a HF hospitalization died. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios were 1 (reference), 1.05 (95% CI, 0.89-1.24), 0.97 (95% CI, 0.81-1.17), and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.70-1.02) across quartiles of the Mediterranean diet score (P trend=0.08) and 1 (reference), 1.04 (95% CI, 0.89-1.21), 0.83 (95% CI, 0.70-0.98), and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.70-1.00) across quartiles of the DASH diet score (P trend=0.01). Diet score components, vegetables, nuts, and whole grain intake, were inversely associated with mortality. Conclusions Higher DASH diet scores were associated with modestly lower mortality in women with HF, and there was a nonsignificant trend toward an inverse association with Mediterranean diet scores. These data provide support for the concept that dietary recommendations developed for other cardiovascular conditions or general populations may also be appropriate in patients with HF.

We recently found changing doses of -blocker (BB) may affect sST2 concentrations. It remains unclear whether sST2 concentrations identify benefit of BB therapy, however. Methods and Results A total of 151 subjects with heart failure attributable to left ventricular systolic dysfunction were examined in this post hoc analysis; >96% were taking BB at enrollment. Medication regimen and sST2 values were obtained during 10 months. Cardiovascular events were examined as a function of baseline sST2 status (low 35 versus high >35 ng/mL) and final achieved BB dose (high 50 versus low <50 mg daily equivalent dose of metoprolol succinate). Patients with low sST2 titrated to high-dose BB had the lowest cardiovascular event rate at 0.53 events (P=0.001), and lowest cumulative hazard (P=0.003). Those with low sST2/low-dose BB, or high sST2/high-dose BB had intermediate outcomes (0.92 and 1.19 events). Patients with high sST2 treated with low-dose BB had the highest cardiovascular event rate (2.08 events) and the highest cumulative hazard. Compared with low sST2/high-dose BB, those with high sST2 treated with low-dose BB had an odds ratio of 6.77 (P<0.001) for a cardiovascular event. Patients with low sST2/low-dose BB or high sST2/high-dose BB had intermediate odds ratios for cardiovascular events (P=0.18 and 0.02). Similar results were found for heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death. Conclusions Although BB therapy exerted dose-related benefits across all study participants, sST2 measurement identifies patients with chronic heart failure who may particularly benefit from higher BB doses.

Only four families affected by IPD with 8-OPRI have been reported, one of them was a three-generation Swedish kindred in which four of seven affected subjects had chorea which was initially attributed to Huntington's disease (HD). Following the exclusion of HD, this phenotype was labeled Huntington disease-like 1 (HDL1). Here, we provide an update on the Swedish 8-OPRI family, describe the clinical features of one of its affected members with video-recordings, compare the four 8-OPRI families and study the effect of PRNP polymorphic codon 129 and gender on phenotype. Surprisingly, the Swedish kindred displayed the longest survival of all of the 8-OPRI families with a mean of 15.1 years from onset of symptoms. Subjects with PRNP polymorphic codon 129M in the mutated allele had significantly earlier age of onset, longer survival and earlier age of death than 129V subjects. Homozygous 129MM had earlier age of onset than 129VV. Females had a significantly earlier age of onset and earlier age of death than males. Up to 50% of variability in age of onset was conferred by the combined effect of PRNP polymorphic codon 129 and gender. An inverse correlation between early age of onset and long survival was found for this mutation. C1 [Paucar, Martin; Svenningsson, Per] Karolinska Inst, Ctr Mol Med, Stockholm, Sweden.

TI Effects of a Tobacco Control Intervention for Teachers in India: Results of the Bihar School Teachers Study SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH LA English DT Article ID ORAL-CANCER; PRIMARY PREVENTION; 2 REGIONS; CESSATION; SMOKING; PROGRAM; PROJECT; HEALTH; TRIAL AB Objectives. We assessed a school-based intervention designed to promote tobacco control among teachers in the Indian state of Bihar. Methods. We used a cluster-randomized design to test the intervention, which comprised educational efforts, tobacco control policies, and cessation support and was tailored to the local social context. In 2009 to 2011, we randomly selected 72 schools from participating school districts and randomly assigned them in blocks (rural or urban) to intervention or delayed-intervention control conditions. Results. Immediately after the intervention, the 30-day quit rate was 50% in the intervention and 15% in the control group (P = .001). At the 9-month post-intervention survey, the adjusted 6-month quit rate was 19% in the intervention and 7% in the control group (P = .06). Among teachers employed for the entire academic year of the intervention, the adjusted 6-month abstinence rates were 20% and 5%, respectively, for the intervention and control groups (P = .04). Conclusions. These findings demonstrate the potent impact of an intervention that took advantage of social resources among teachers, who can serve as role models for tobacco control in their communities.

The exact neuronal bases of these processes are poorly understood. We investigated oscillatory brain networks controlling auditory attention using cortically constrained fMRI-weighted magneto-encephalography/EEG source estimates. During consecutive trials, participants were instructed to shift attention based on a cue, presented in the ear where a target was likely to follow. To promote audiospatial attention effects, the targets were embedded in streams of dichotically presented standard tones. Occasionally, an unexpected novel sound occurred opposite to the cued ear to trigger involuntary orienting. According to our cortical power correlation analyses, increased frontoparietal/temporal 30-100 Hz gamma activity at 200-1400 msec after cued orienting predicted fast and accurate discrimination of subsequent targets. This sustained correlation effect, possibly reflecting voluntary engagement of attention after the initial cue-driven orienting, spread from the TPJ, anterior insula, and inferior frontal cortices to the right FEFs. Engagement of attention to one ear resulted in a significantly stronger increase of 7.5-15 Hz alpha in the ipsilateral than contralateral parieto-occipital cortices 200-600 msec after the cue onset, possibly reflecting cross-modal modulation of the dorsal visual pathway during audiospatial attention. Comparisons of cortical power patterns also revealed significant increases of sustained right medial frontal cortex theta power, right dorsolateral pFC and anterior insula/inferior frontal cortex beta power, and medial parietal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex gamma activity after cued versus novelty-triggered orienting (600-1400 msec). Our results reveal sustained oscillatory patterns associated with voluntary engagement of auditory spatial attention, with the frontoparietal and temporal gamma increases being best predictors of subsequent behavioral performance.

Imaging plays a critical role in evaluating patients suspected of acute stroke and transient ischemic attack, especially before initiating treatment. Over the past few decades, major advances have occurred in stroke imaging and treatment, including Food and Drug Administration approval of recanalization therapies for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. A wide variety of imaging techniques has become available to assess vascular lesions and brain tissue status in acute stroke patients. However, the practical challenge for physicians is to understand the multiple facets of these imaging techniques, including which imaging techniques to implement and how to optimally use them, given available resources at their local institution. Important considerations include constraints of time, cost, access to imaging modalities, preferences of treating physicians, availability of expertise, and availability of endovascular therapy. The choice of which imaging techniques to employ is impacted by both the time urgency for evaluation of patients and the complexity of the literature on acute stroke imaging. Ideally, imaging algorithms should incorporate techniques that provide optimal benefit for improved patient outcomes without delaying treatment.

The assessment of dyspnea, like that of pain, depends on patient self-report. Expert consensus panels have called for dyspnea to be measured quantitatively and documented on a routine basis, as is the practice with pain. But little information is available on how to measure and record dyspnea ratings systematically. Consequently, the prevalence of dyspnea in hospital settings may be greater than is generally recognized, and dyspnea may be insufficiently managed. This article describes a pilot study that sought to test the feasibility of measuring dyspnea as part of the initial patient assessment performed by nurses within several inpatient units of a large urban hospital.

TI Surgical Procedures and Outcomes Among Children with Sickle Cell Disease SO ANESTHESIA AND ANALGESIA LA English DT Article ID ACUTE CHEST SYNDROME; PREOPERATIVE BLOOD-TRANSFUSION; PERIOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT; SURGERY; ANESTHESIA; ANEMIA AB BACKGROUND: Although children with sickle cell disease often undergo surgery, there are limited current epidemiological data for this pediatric population. We performed a database analysis to estimate population characteristics, surgical procedures, and perioperative outcomes in this population. METHODS: We queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database from 2000 to 2010 for discharges pertaining to patients <18 years of age having a diagnosis of sickle cell disease who underwent 1 or more surgical procedures during that admission. We abstracted surgical procedures using the Clinical Classifications Software procedure codes and the ICD-9-CM procedure codes. We described characteristics of patients undergoing the 6 most common procedures. RESULTS: During 2000 to 2010, 3.6 % (SE 0.12) of individual hospital discharges were of children with sickle cell disease who had undergone surgical procedures. The most frequent surgical procedures were cholecystectomy (1.47% [0.08]), tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy (0.81% [0.06]), splenectomy (0.62% [0.06]), repair of umbilical hernia (0.19% [0.02]), and appendectomy (0.17% [0.02]). Acute chest syndrome was recorded among 3.08% (0.60) of patients undergoing elective surgery. The incidence of stroke was 0.20% (0.11); death was reported in <11 patients (<0.20%). CONCLUSION: Surgical procedures such as cholecystectomy, tonsillectomy, splenectomy, hernia repair, and appendectomy account for a small but significant proportion of hospital admissions in children with sickle cell disease. Acute chest syndrome is among the most common complications of elective surgery, while stroke and death are rare. C1 [Hyder, Omar] Johns Hopkins Sch Med, Dept Surg, Baltimore, MD USA.

TI Researches Regarding the Morton Ether Inhaler at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston SO ANESTHESIA AND ANALGESIA LA English DT Article AB The Morton ether inhaler in the possession of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, was traced back to 1906 when the earliest known photograph of it was published. The authors believe that the inhaler was given by William T. G. Morton, MD, to J. Mason Warren, MD, in January 1847. The inhaler was acquired by the Warren Anatomical Museum at an unknown date, loaned to Massachusetts General Hospital in October 1946, and placed on permanent loan to Massachusetts General Hospital in April 1948. Many documents relating to the inhaler have disappeared, and it was only identified in 2009 as the inhaler that probably belonged to J. Mason Warren, MD. The inhaler is not believed to be the one that Morton used on October 16, 1846, at Massachusetts General Hospital. It is the only known example of a Morton ether inhaler with valves (excluding replicas or reproduction inhalers) and is probably of similar design to the inhaler that Morton used on October 16, 1846.

TI Caudal Resection of the Upper Lateral Cartilages and Its Measured Effect on Tip Rotation SO ANNALS OF PLASTIC SURGERY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 16th Annual Meeting of the Rhinoplasty-Society CY MAY 06, 2011 CL Boston, MA SP Rhinoplasty Soc DE open rhinoplasty; tip elevation; upper lateral cartilages; nasolabial angle ID RHINOPLASTY; GRAFT; FLAP AB Background: Commonly used maneuvers for upward tip rotation include cephalic trim of the lateral alar cartilages, caudal resection of the septum, and shortening of the upper lateral cartilages (ULCs). Few techniques for surgical manipulation of the ULCs are found in the literature, and none accurately describe the measured effect of the caudal resection on tip rotation. The purpose of this study is to predict the change in upward rotation of the nasal tip for a measured incremental resection of the ULCs. Methods: Ten fresh cadaveric noses were dissected with the aid of loupe magnification via an open rhinoplasty approach. The ULCs were sectioned in 20% increments, and measurements of the nasolabial angle (NLA) were recorded with the use of a goniometer. True lateral photographs were obtained for the photographic analysis of the specimens. Results: The average length of the ULC was 16.8 +/- 1.6 mm. Serial reduction of the ULC length by 4 sequential 20% increments resulted in a mean NLA change of 3.6, 2.7, 2.1, and 1.9 degrees, respectively. The average incremental change in NLA for the 4 resections was 2.6 degrees. Conclusions: Caudal resection of the ULC has a measurable effect on the upward rotation of the nasal tip. A 20% resection correlates with an average change in the NLA of 2.6 degrees. Because caudal resection of the ULC is a powerful tool in the armamentarium of the rhinoplasty surgeon that can cause narrowing of the internal nasal valve and hallowing of the lower nasal sidewalls, it should be used with caution in a selected group of patients when attempting to elevate the "droopy" tip.

TI Natural History of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Patients With Heart Failure SO CIRCULATION-CARDIOVASCULAR QUALITY AND OUTCOMES LA English DT Article DE heart failure; outcomes assessment; prognosis; ventricular ejection fraction ID ASSOCIATION TASK-FORCE; AMERICAN-COLLEGE; MULTISTATE MODEL; PANEL-DATA; CARVEDILOL; SURVIVAL; DYSFUNCTION; GUIDELINES; METOPROLOL; MORTALITY AB Background-Patients with heart failure (HF) are typically designated as having reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFREF, HFPEF) because of the importance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on therapeutic decisions and prognosis. Such designations are not necessarily static, yet few data exist to describe the natural history of LVEF over time. Methods and Results-We identified 2413 patients from Kaiser Permanente Colorado with a primary discharge diagnosis of HF between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2008, who had >= 2 LVEF measurements separated by >= 30 days. We used multi-state Markov modeling to examine transitions among HFREF, HFPEF, and death. We observed a total of 8183 transitions. Women were more likely than men to transition from HFREF to HFPEF (hazard ratio, 1.85; 95% confidence interval, 1.38-2.47). Patients who were adherent to beta-blockers were more likely to transition from HFREF to HFPEF (hazard ratio, 1.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-2.13) compared with patients who were nonadherent to beta-blockers, whereas angiotensin-converting enzyme or angiotensin II receptor blocker adherence was not associated with LVEF transitions. Patients who had a previous myocardial infarction were more likely to transition from HFPEF to HFREF (hazard ratio, 1.75; 95% confidence interval, 1.26-2.42). Conclusions-In this cohort of patients with HF, LVEF is a dynamic factor related to sex, coexisting conditions, and drug therapy. These findings have implications for left ventricular systolic function ascertainment in patients with HF and support evidence-based therapy use, especially beta-blockers.

We sought to determine variation in the use of left ventriculography in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System. Methods and Results-We identified adult patients who underwent cardiac catheterization including coronary angiography between 2000 and 2009 in the VA Health Care System. We determined patient and hospital predictors of the use of left ventriculography as well as the variation in use across VA facilities. Results were validated using data from the VA's Clinical Assessment, Reporting, and Tracking (CART) program. Of 457 170 cardiac catheterization procedures among 336 853 patients, left ventriculography was performed on 263 695 (58%) patients. Use of left ventriculography decreased over time (64% in 2000 to 50% in 2009) and varied markedly across facilities (< 1-> 95% of cardiac catheterizations). Patient factors explained little of the large variation in use between facilities. When the cohort was restricted to those with an echocardiogram in the prior 30 days and no intervening event, left ventriculography was still performed in 50% of cases. Conclusions-There is large variation in the use of left ventriculography across VA facilities that is not explained by patient characteristics.

We sought to characterize differences in patient features, treatments, and outcomes of cardiogenic shock by MI classification: ST-segment-elevation MI (STEMI) versus non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI). Methods and Results-We compared differences in care by the shock status of 235 541 patients with STEMI and NSTEMI treated at 392 US hospitals from 2007 to 2011. Cardiogenic shock occurred in 12.2% of patients with STEMI versus 4.3% of patients with NSTEMI. Compared with STEMI shock, NSTEMI shock was more likely in patients who were older and predominantly women; had diabetes mellitus, hypertension, previous heart failure, MI, or peripheral arterial disease; and who received coronary artery bypass grafting (11.6% versus 21.2%; P<0.0001) but less likely to have received percutaneous coronary intervention (84.2% versus 35.3%; P<0.0001). Compared with patients with STEMI presenting with shock at admission, patients with NSTEMI presenting with shock had longer delays to percutaneous coronary intervention (1.2 versus 3.2 hours) and coronary artery bypass grafting (7.9 versus 55.9 hours). Cardiogenic shock in patients with STEMI was associated with a lower mortality risk (33.1% shock versus 2.0% no shock; adjusted odds ratio, 14.1; 95% confidence interval, 13.0-15.4; interaction P value <0.0001) compared with patients with NSTEMI (40.8% shock versus 2.3% no shock, odds ratio, 19.0; 95% confidence interval, 17.1-21.2). Conclusions-Cardiogenic shock is associated with high mortality in patients with STEMI and NSTEMI. However, urgent revascularization is more commonly pursued in patients with STEMI presenting with shock than in patients with NSTEMI. More research is needed to improve the outcomes for patients with MI presenting with shock, particularly those presenting with NSTEMI. C1 [Anderson, Monique L.; Peterson, Eric D.; Peng, S.

Comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, gastrointestinal disorder, metabolic syndrome, chronic pain, delirium, and pulmonary disorder increase the peri-operative risk for OSA patients. Methods: This is a narrative review of the impact of sedative and analgesic therapy on the intraoperative and postoperative course of an obese OSA patient. Results: An understanding of postoperative complications related to OSA and drug interactions in the context of opioid and non-opioid selection may benefit pain practitioner and patients equally. Conclusions: Management of acute postoperative pain in OSA patient remains complex. A comprehensive strategy is needed to reduce the complications and adverse events related to administration of analgesics and anesthetics.

Like athletes, performing artists practice and/or perform most days with little off season, play through pain, "compete" in challenging environments, and risk career-threatening injury. Athletes and the Arts is a multiorganizational initiative linking the sport athlete and musician/performing artist communities. Performing artists of all ages and genre are an underserved population related to medical coverage, care, injury prevention, performance enhancement, and wellness. Sports medicine professionals are a valuable resource for filling this gap by applying existing knowledge of treating sport athletes (nutrition, injury prevention) while gaining a better understanding of performers' unique needs (hearing loss, focal dystonia) and environment. These applications can occur in the clinical setting and through developing organizational policies. By better understanding the needs of the performing arts population and applying existing concepts and knowledge, sports medicine professionals can expand their impact to a new patient base that desperately needs support.

Kuo, Braden TI From Heave to Leave Understanding Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome SO GASTROENTEROLOGY NURSING LA English DT Article ID ADULTS AB Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is an idiopathic functional gastrointestinal disorder that has been underrecognized in the adult population. Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are common presentations to gastrointestinal nursing. There are multiple differential diagnoses the clinician must consider prior to a diagnosis of CVS to recognize the disorder. CVS occurs in 4 phases: (a) interepisodic, (b) prodromal, (c) vomiting, and (d) recovery. Each phase has specific treatment guidelines. There is no specific "cure" for CVS; proper management is key. Increasing awareness of CVS is paramount to its detection. CVS has been examined in the pediatric population and has often been considered a pediatric disorder. More recently, it has come to be recognized in the adult population. Proper care and management of these patients allow for better support for patients and their families who are often on the primary caregivers. Nurses are often on the front lines of care and knowledge of CVS from the beginning should lead to shortened hospital stays and optimal patient care.

Oxaliplatin exhibits efficacy in platinum-pretreated disease and shows preclinical synergy with topoisomerase 1 inhibitors. We sought to determine the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin plus infusion topotecan in recurrent platinum-pretreated ovarian cancer. Methods: Patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers previously treated with 1 to 2 prior regimens including platinum and taxane received oxaliplatin (85 mg/m(2) day 1 and day 15) and topotecan (0.4 mg/m(2) per day) by continuous IV infusion over 14 days every 4 weeks. The primary objective of the trial was to estimate the objective response rate in platinum-resistant disease (stratum 1) and in platinum-sensitive disease (stratum 2). Toxicities were assessed in all patients. Results: Thirty-eight patients received 144 cycles of therapy (median, 4; range, 1-6). The most common grade 3 and grade 4 toxicities included thrombocytopenia (grade 3, 37%; and grade 4, 19%), neutropenia (grade 3, 37%; grade 4, 11%), and anemia (grade 3, 15%). Response occurred in 4 of 19 patients in stratum I (21%; 95% confidence intervals, 6%-46%) and 9 of 19 patients in stratum 2 (47%; 95% CI, 24%-71%). Three in each stratum had lengthy complete responses. Conclusions: Biweekly oxaliplatin plus a 14-day continuous IV infusion of topotecan, given monthly, is an active regimen in platinum-pretreated ovarian cancer and merits additional evaluation.

This property potentially confers an advantage to some HIV-1 variants early after acquisition. We found that replication-competent recombinant viruses incorporating HIV-1 subtype A compact and less-glycosylated early versus chronic phase V1-V2 loops demonstrated no significant difference in binding to alpha 4 beta 7 high CD8(+) T cells or replication in alpha 4 beta 7 high CD4(+) T cells. Integrin alpha 4 beta 7 usage does not select for shorter less-glycosylated envelopes during transmission.

TI Behind the Cascade: Analyzing Spatial Patterns Along the HIV Care Continuum SO JAIDS-JOURNAL OF ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROMES LA English DT Article DE GIS; spatial patterns; care linkage; retention; viral suppression ID ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY; DELAYED ENTRY; MEDICAL-CARE; 2ND-ORDER ANALYSIS; VIRAL SUPPRESSION; RISK-FACTORS; HEALTH-CARE; PREVENTION; RETENTION; DIAGNOSIS AB Background: Successful HIV treatment as prevention requires individuals to be tested, aware of their status, linked to and retained in care, and virally suppressed. Spatial analysis may be useful for monitoring HIV care by identifying geographic areas with poor outcomes. Methods: Retrospective cohort of 1704 people newly diagnosed with HIV identified from Philadelphia's Enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System in 2008-2009, with follow-up to 2011. Outcomes of interest were not linked to care, not linked to care within 90 days, not retained in care, and not virally suppressed. Spatial patterns were analyzed using K-functions to identify "hot spots" for targeted intervention. Geographic components were included in regression analyses along with demographic factors to determine their impact on each outcome. Results: Overall, 1404 persons (82%) linked to care; 75% (1059/1404) linked within 90 days; 37% (526/1059) were retained in care; and 72% (379/526) achieved viral suppression. Fifty-nine census tracts were in hot spots, with no overlap between outcomes. Persons residing in geographic areas identified by the local K-function analyses were more likely to not link to care [adjusted odds ratio 1.76 (95% confidence interval: 1.30 to 2.40)], not link to care within 90 days (1.49, 1.12-1.99), not be retained in care (1.84, 1.39-2.43), and not be virally suppressed (3.23, 1.87-5.59) than persons not residing in the identified areas. Conclusions: This study is the first to identify spatial patterns as a strong independent predictor of linkage to care, retention in care, and viral suppression. Spatial analyses are a valuable tool for characterizing the HIV epidemic and treatment cascade.

TI Safe Methadone Induction and Stabilization Report of an Expert Panel SO JOURNAL OF ADDICTION MEDICINE LA English DT Review DE methadone; methadone dosing; methadone induction; methadone mortality; methadone overdose; opioid agonist treatment ID MAINTENANCE TREATMENT; OVERDOSE DEATHS; OPIOID DEPENDENCE; UNITED-STATES; INTERINDIVIDUAL VARIABILITY; HEROIN-ADDICTION; TOXICITY; MORTALITY; EPIDEMIC; PLASMA AB Objectives: Methadone is a well-studied, safe, and effective medication when dispensed and consumed properly. However, a number of studies have identified elevated rates of overdose and death in patients being treated with methadone for either addiction or chronic pain. Among patients being treated with methadone in federally certified opioid treatment programs, deaths most often occur during the induction and stabilization phases of treatment. To address this issue, the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration invited the American Society of Addiction Medicine to convene an expert panel to develop a consensus statement on methadone induction and stabilization, with recommendations to reduce the risk of patient overdose or death related to methadone maintenance treatment of addiction. Methods: A comprehensive literature search of English-language publications (1979-2011) was conducted via MEDLINE and EM-BASE. Methadone Action Group members evaluated the resulting information and collaborated in formulating the consensus statement presented here, which subsequently was reviewed by more than 100 experts in the field. Results: Published data indicate that deaths during methadone induction occur because the initial dose is too high, the dose is increased too rapidly, or the prescribed methadone interacts with another drug. Therefore, the Methadone Action Group has developed recommendations to help methadone providers avoid or minimize these risks. Conclusions: Careful management of methadone induction and stabilization, coupled with patient education and increased clinical vigilance, can save lives in this vulnerable patient population.

Xia, Yin TI Dragon (Repulsive Guidance Molecule RGMb) Inhibits E-cadherin Expression and Induces Apoptosis in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells SO JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN CORECEPTOR; REGULATES HEPCIDIN EXPRESSION; FIBROSIS; KIDNEY; NEOGENIN; INJURY; RECEPTORS; INFLAMMATION; TRANSITION; MECHANISMS AB Dragon is one of the three members of the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family, i.e. RGMa, RGMb (Dragon), and RGMc (hemojuvelin). We previously identified the RGM members as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) co-receptors that enhance BMP signaling. Our previous studies found that Dragon is highly expressed in the tubular epithelial cells of mouse kidneys. However, the roles of Dragon in renal epithelial cells are yet to be defined. We now show that overexpression of Dragon increased cell death induced by hypoxia in association with increased cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and cleaved caspase-3 levels in mouse inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD3) cells. Dragon also inhibited E-cadherin expression but did not affect epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition induced by TGF-beta in IMCD3 cells. Previous studies suggest that the three RGM members can function as ligands for the receptor neogenin. Interestingly, our present study demonstrates that the Dragon actions on apoptosis and E-cadherin expression in IMCD3 cells were mediated by the neogenin receptor but not through the BMP pathway. Dragon expression in the kidney was up-regulated by unilateral ureteral obstruction in mice. Compared with wild-type mice, heterozygous Dragon knock-out mice exhibited 45-66% reduction in Dragon mRNA expression, decreased epithelial apoptosis, and increased tubular E-cadherin expression and had attenuated tubular injury after unilateral ureteral obstruction. Our results suggest that Dragon may impair tubular epithelial integrity and induce epithelial apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo.

TI Immunogenicity of Membrane-bound HIV-1 gp41 Membrane-proximal External Region (MPER) Segments Is Dominated by Residue Accessibility and Modulated by Stereochemistry SO JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID B-CELL RESPONSES; IMMUNE-RESPONSE; NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES; PEPTIDE EPITOPE; VIRUS; PROTEIN; AFFINITY; ANTIGEN; MATURATION; BROAD AB Structural characterization of epitope-paratope pairs has contributed to the understanding of antigenicity. By contrast, few structural studies relate to immunogenicity, the process of antigen-induced immune responses in vivo. Using a lipid-arrayed membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of HIV-1 glycoprotein 41 as a model antigen, we investigated the influence of physicochemical properties on immunogenicity in relation to structural modifications of MPER/liposome vaccines. Anchoring the MPER to the membrane via an alkyl tail or transmembrane domain retained the MPER on liposomes in vivo, while preserving MPER secondary structure. However, structural modifications that affected MPER membrane orientation and antigenic residue accessibility strongly impacted induced antibody responses. The solvent-exposed MPER tryptophan residue (Trp-680) was immunodominant, focusing immune responses, despite sequence variability elsewhere. Nonetheless, immunogenicity could be readily manipulated using site-directed mutagenesis or structural constraints to modulate amino acid surface display. These studies provide fundamental insights for immunogen design aimed at targeting B cell antibody responses.

Here we report a novel mechanism by which synj1 reversely regulates cellular clearance of amyloid-beta (A beta). Genetic down-regulation of synj1 reduces both extracellular and intracellular A beta levels in N2a cells stably expressing the Swedish mutant of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Moreover, synj1 haploinsufficiency in an Alzheimer disease transgenic mouse model expressing the Swedish mutant APP and the presenilin-1 mutant Delta E9 reduces amyloid plaque load, as well as A beta(40) and A beta(42) levels in hippocampus of 9-month-old animals. Reduced expression of synj1 attenuates cognitive deficits in these transgenic mice. However, reduction of synj1 does not affect levels of full-length APP and the C-terminal fragment, suggesting that A beta generation by beta- and gamma-secretase cleavage is not affected. Instead, synj1 knockdown increases A beta uptake and cellular degradation through accelerated delivery to lysosomes. These effects are partially dependent upon elevated PI(4,5)P-2 with synj1 down-regulation. In summary, our data suggest a novel mechanism by which reduction of a PI(4,5)P-2-degrading enzyme, synj1, improves amyloid-induced neuropathology and behavior deficits through accelerating cellular A beta clearance.

TI Marital Status and Survival in Patients With Cancer SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article ID METASTATIC BREAST-CANCER; DIURNAL CORTISOL RHYTHM; CELL LUNG-CANCER; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; PROSTATE-CANCER; SOCIAL SUPPORT; PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS; ALCOHOL-CONSUMPTION; CLINICAL-OUTCOMES; HEART-FAILURE AB Purpose To examine the impact of marital status on stage at diagnosis, use of definitive therapy, and cancer-specific mortality among each of the 10 leading causes of cancer-related death in the United States. Methods We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program to identify 1,260,898 patients diagnosed in 2004 through 2008 with lung, colorectal, breast, pancreatic, prostate, liver/intrahepatic bile duct, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, head/neck, ovarian, or esophageal cancer. We used multivariable logistic and Cox regression to analyze the 734,889 patients who had clinical and follow-up information available. Results Married patients were less likely to present with metastatic disease (adjusted odds ratio [ OR], 0.83; 95% CI, 0.82 to 0.84; P < .001), more likely to receive definitive therapy (adjusted OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.51 to 1.56; P < .001), and less likely to die as a result of their cancer after adjusting for demographics, stage, and treatment (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.79 to 0.81; P < .001) than unmarried patients. These associations remained significant when each individual cancer was analyzed (P < .05 for all end points for each malignancy). The benefit associated with marriage was greater in males than females for all outcome measures analyzed (P < .001 in all cases). For prostate, breast, colorectal, esophageal, and head/neck cancers, the survival benefit associated with marriage was larger than the published survival benefit of chemotherapy. Conclusion Even after adjusting for known confounders, unmarried patients are at significantly higher risk of presentation with metastatic cancer, undertreatment, and death resulting from their cancer. This study highlights the potentially significant impact that social support can have on cancer detection, treatment, and survival.

Patients and Methods One thousand one hundred forty-five patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC (stage IIIB with malignant pleural effusion, stage IV, or recurrent) received four cycles of chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. Seven hundred forty-three patients without disease progression or significant toxicity were then randomly assigned (1: 1) to bevacizumab (15 mg/kg, day 1, 21-day cycle) plus either placebo or erlotinib (150 mg per day). The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Results Median PFS from time of random assignment was 3.7 months with bevacizumab/placebo and 4.8 months with bevacizumab/erlotinib (hazard ratio [HR], 0.71; 95% CI, 0.58 to 0.86; P < .001). Median overall survival (OS) times from random assignment were 13.3 and 14.4 months with bevacizumab/placebo and bevacizumab/erlotinib, respectively (HR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.70 to 1.21; P = .5341). During the postchemotherapy phase, there were more adverse events (AEs) overall, more grade 3 and 4 AEs (mainly rash and diarrhea), more serious AEs, and more AEs leading to erlotinib/placebo discontinuation in the bevacizumab/erlotinib arm versus the bevacizumab/placebo arm. The incidence of AEs leading to bevacizumab discontinuation was similar in both treatment arms. Conclusion The addition of erlotinib to bevacizumab significantly improved PFS but not OS. Although generally well tolerated, the modest impact on survival and increased toxicity associated with the addition of erlotinib to bevacizumab maintenance mean that this two-drug maintenance regimen will not lead to a new postchemotherapy standard of care.

It is now recognized that genetic alterations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) define two unique subtypes of NSCLC that are highly responsive to genotype-directed TKIs. Despite this initial sensitivity, however, the long-term effectiveness of such therapies is universally limited by the development of resistance. Identifying the mechanisms underlying this resistance is an area of intense, ongoing investigation. In this review, we provide an overview of recent experience in the field, focusing on results from preclinical resistance models and studies of patient-derived, TKI-resistant tumor specimens. Although diverse TKI resistance mechanisms have been identified within EGFR-mutant and ALK-positive patients, we highlight common principles of resistance shared between these groups. These include the development of secondary mutations in the kinase target, gene amplification of the primary oncogene, and upregulation of bypass signaling tracts. In EGFR-mutant and ALK-positive patients alike, acquired resistance may also be a dynamic and multifactorial process that may necessitate the use of treatment combinations. We believe that insights into the mechanisms of TKI resistance in patients with EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangements may inform the development of novel treatment strategies in NSCLC, which may also be generalizable to other kinase-driven malignancies.

Methods: A phantom was scanned using various computed tomography (CT) parameters (kV, 80-120; mAs, 50-200). Abdomen contrast-enhanced CT (CECTs) in 170 adults were performed using dose-modified protocols: in 145 patients (group I), ATVS was applied (mAs, 111-649); in 25 (group II), the kV was fixed at 120 (reference mAs, 150). In 95 patients, standard-dose (SD) scan was available. Two readers evaluated the IQ of filtered back projection (FBP) and SAFIRE (levels 1, 3, and 5) images. Results: In phantom, nonlinear drop in noise with increasing strengths of IR (levels S1-S5) was noted. The dose-modified IR scan was rated diagnostic in all 170 patients, with IQ score comparable to that of SD-FBP (P = 0.3). Lower kV (100/80) was prescribed by ATVS in 70% examinations in group I. In comparison with SD-FBP, the mean dose in CT dose index in group I (IR, 3.2 mGy; SD-FBP, 13.02 mGy; P < 0.0001) and in group II (IR, 4.8 mGy; SD-FBP, 11.8 mGy; P < 0.001) was 75.4% and 59.3% lower. Conclusions: Use of SAFIRE and ATVS provides diagnostic quality images at 59.3% to 75.4% reduced dose compared with SD-FBP scan. C1 [Desai, Gaurav S.; Orrego, Jorge M.

Design: Both single subject experimental design and group analysis. Setting: Patients' homes. Participants: Eight adult patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury sustained 3 to 20 years before testing. Intervention: The Metaphor Training Program consisted typically of 10 baseline sessions, 3 to 9 1-hour sessions of structured intervention, and 10 posttraining baseline sessions. Training used extensive practice with simple graphic displays to illustrate semantic associations. Main Outcome Measures: Quality of orally produced metaphor interpretation and accuracy of line orientation judgments served as dependent measures obtained during baseline, training, posttraining, and at a 3- to 4-month follow-up. Untrained line orientation judgments provided a control measure. Results: Group data showed significant improvement in metaphor interpretation but not in line orientation. Six of 8 patients individually demonstrated significant improvement in metaphor interpretation. Gains persisted for 3 of the 6 patients at the 3- to 4-month follow-up. Conclusion: The Metaphor Training Program can improve cognitive-communication performance for individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. Results support the potential for treating patients' residual cognitive-linguistic deficits. C1 [Brownell, Hiram] Boston Coll, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467 USA.

TI Increased expression of intrinsic antiviral genes in HLA-B*57-positive individuals SO JOURNAL OF LEUKOCYTE BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE restriction factors; HIV-1; HLA class I ID HIV-1 INFECTION; IN-VITRO; SAMHD1 RESTRICTS; T-LYMPHOCYTES; CCR5; REPLICATION; PROGRESSION; ALLELE; CELLS; VIVO AB The genetic background of HIV-1-infected subjects, particularly the HLA class I haplotype, appears to be critical in determining disease progression rates, thought to be a result of the role of HIV-1-specific CD8(+) T cell responses. The HLA-B*57 allele is strongly associated with viremic suppression and slower disease progression. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in HIV-1 disease progression rates among HLAB* 57-positive subjects, suggesting that additional factors may help to contain viral replication. In this report, we investigated the association between host restriction factors, other established immunological parameters, and HLA type in HIV-1-seronegative individuals. Our results demonstrate that healthy, uninfected HLA-B*57-positive individuals exhibit significantly higher gene-expression levels of host restriction factors, such as APOBEC3A, APOBEC3B, BST-2/tetherin, and ISG15. Interestingly, HLA-B*57 individuals have significantly lower CD4(+) T cell frequencies but harbor slightly more activated CD4(+) T cells compared with their HLA-B*35 counterparts. We detected significant correlations between CD4(+) T cell activation and expression of several APOBEC3 family members, BST-2/tetherin, SAMHD1, and TRIM5 alpha in HLA-B*57-positive individuals. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing distinct associations between host restriction factors and HLA class I genotype. Our results provide insights into natural protection mechanisms and immunity against HIV-1 that fall outside of classical HLA-mediated effects.

There is accumulating evidence for the presence of a subtype of depression characterized by the presence of irritability that is associated with increased morbidity, risk for suicidal ideation, and functional impairments in adults. Little is known about the features of depressive symptoms with and without irritability among young adults in college. The primary aim of this study was to characterize the presentation of college students with depressive symptoms and irritability. Two-hundred eighty-seven undergraduate college students with depressive symptoms with and without irritability were compared across several psychiatric and functional outcome variables. Independent samples t-tests or logistic regressions were conducted for each outcome variable using the irritability item of the Beck Depression Inventory as a dichotomous grouping variable. Analyses were conducted separately for the men and the women. Both male and female students with depressive symptoms and severe irritability reported a greater severity of depressive symptoms compared with their peers with no or mild irritability. In the women, the presence of irritability was associated with greater symptoms of anxiety, whereas in the men, it was associated with increased likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors, including compulsive use of alcohol, illicit drugs, and prescription drugs. The male and female college students with depressive symptoms with and without irritability did not differ on severity of suicidal ideation, hopelessness, or cognitive functioning. The findings from this study suggest that depressive symptoms and irritability may characterize a subtype of college students who have a greater symptom burden and with the potential need for more aggressive and prompt treatment.

Outcome measures currently available present limitations to clinicians and patients alike in terms of their excessive length, time of completion, difficulty to score, and focus on specific clusters of symptoms. The present study sought to validate the Brief Symptom Measure-25 (BSM-25) as a brief and easily administered measure of global psychiatric symptom severity in adolescent inpatient samples. This study evaluated the results from 154 adolescent inpatients who completed several self-report measures at admission. The findings demonstrate that the instrument has good construct validity when compared with validated measures of psychological health and well-being, behavioral problems, and interpersonal distress. We also showed the sensitivity to change of the BSM-25 from admission to discharge, and we showed that this healthy change was paralleled in several measures (self-reports and clinician ratings), using data from 75 adolescent psychiatric inpatients who were assessed at admission and also at discharge. Although this is only the first step in the validation of this measure for an adolescent inpatient setting, the BSM-25 shows promise as a brief outcome measure of global psychiatric symptom severity while maintaining validity and instrument sensitivity.

There is concern that treatment of serious mental illness in the United States declines precipitously following legal emancipation at age 18 years and transition from specialty youth clinical settings. We examined age transition effects on treatment utilization in a sample of youth with bipolar disorder. Methods. Youth with bipolar disorder (N = 413) 7-18 years of age were assessed approximately twice per year (mean interval 8.2 months) for at least 4 years. Annual use of any individual, group, and family therapy, psychopharmacology visits, and hospitalization at each year of age, and monthly use from ages 17 through 19 years, were examined. The effect of age transition to 18 years on monthly visit probability was tested in the subsample with observed transitions (n = 204). Putative sociodemographic moderators and the influence of clinical course were assessed. Results. Visit probabilities for the most common modalities-psychopharmacology, individual psychotherapy, and home-based care-generally fell from childhood to young adulthood. For example, the annual probability of at least one psychopharmacology visit was 97% at age 8, 75% at age 17, 60% at age 19, and 46% by age 22. Treatment probabilities fell in transition-age youth from age 17 through 19, but a specific transition effect at age 18 was not found. Declines did not vary based on sociodemographic characteristics and were not explained by changing severity of the bipolar illness or functioning. Conclusions. Mental health treatment declined with age in this sample of youth with bipolar disorder, but reductions were not concentrated during or after the transition to age 18 years. Declines were unrelated to symptom severity or impairment. C1 [Hower, Heather; Weinstock, Lauren] Brown Univ, Providence, RI 02912 USA.

We present 26 cases of invasive fusariosis categorized according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses Study Group (EORTC/MSG) criteria of fungal infections. All cases (20 proven and 6 probable) were treated from January 2000 until January 2010. We also review 97 cases reported since 2000. The most important risk factors for invasive fusariosis in our patients were compromised immune system, specifically lung transplantation (n = 6) and hematologic malignancies (n = 5), and burns (n = 7 patients with skin fusariosis), while the most commonly infected site was the skin in 11 of 26 patients. The mortality rates among our patients with disseminated, skin, and pulmonary fusariosis were 50%, 40%, and 37.5%, respectively. Fusarium solani was the most frequent species, isolated from 49% of literature cases. Blood cultures were positive in 82% of both current study and literature patients with disseminated fusariosis, while the remaining 16% had 2 noncontiguous sites of infection but negative blood cultures. Surgical removal of focal lesions was effective in both current study and literature cases. Skin lesions in immunocompromised patients should raise the suspicion for skin or disseminated fusariosis. The combination of medical monotherapy with voriconazole or amphotericin B and surgery in such cases is highly suggested.

In many circumstances, this has led to a reduction in surgical volume for many common conditions in benign gynecology. There is also some evidence that a threshold number of cases may exist, below which surgical competence may be affected. Although the practice of medicine continues to evolve, there is broad recognition of a projected workforce shortage of physicians. If credentialing or privileging bodies establish criteria based solely on the number of procedures performed by an individual physician, patient access may be greatly affected. From a public health perspective, these issues cannot be considered in isolation. Thoughtful analysis of existing data and recognition of patient access issues should be carefully weighed before any dramatic changes in hospital privileging or hiring practices. Consideration for ongoing maintenance of credentialing should be carefully balanced and strategies for ongoing assurance of competency may require creative alternatives to simple numerical documentation. Differential approaches to regions with different densities of physicians may also be necessary. C1 [Tracy, Erin E.] Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Boston, MA 02180 USA.

TI Scope of Global Health Training in US Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Programs SO OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SETTING PRIORITIES; RESEARCH INVESTMENTS; DEVELOPING-COUNTRIES; SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS; SURGICAL DISEASE; PUBLIC-HEALTH; SURGERY; OPPORTUNITIES; CAPACITY; AFRICA AB OBJECTIVE: To enumerate global health training activities in U. S. obstetrics and gynecology residency programs and to examine the worldwide distribution of programmatic activity relative to the maternal and perinatal disease burden. METHODS: Using a systematic, web-based protocol, we searched for global health training opportunities at all U. S. obstetrics and gynecology residency programs. Country-level data on disability-adjusted life-years resulting from maternal and perinatal conditions were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease study. We calculated Spearman's rank correlation coefficients to estimate the cross-country association between programmatic activity and disease burden. RESULTS: Of the 243 accredited U. S. obstetrics and gynecology residency programs, we identified 41 (17%) with one of several possible predefined categories of programmatic activity. Thirty-three residency programs offered their residents opportunities to participate in one or more elective-based rotations, eight offered extended field-based training, and 18 offered research activities. A total of 128 programmatic activities were dispersed across 64 different countries. At the country level, the number of programmatic activities had a statistically significant association with the total disease burden resulting from maternal (Spearman's rho=0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.14-0.57) and perinatal conditions (rho=0.34, 95% CI 0.10-0.54) but not gynecologic cancers (rho=-0.24, 95% CI -0.46 to 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: There are few global health training opportunities for U. S. obstetrics and gynecology residents. These activities are disproportionately distributed among countries with greater burdens of disease. C1 [Hung, Kristin J.] Beth Israel Deaconess Med Ctr, Dept Obstet & Gynecol, Boston, MA 02215 USA.

The dynamic interplay of T cells, cancer cells, cancer antigen loss variants, and stromal cells-all color-coded in vivo-was analyzed in established, solid tumors that had developed behind windows implanted on the backs of mice. Events could be followed repeatedly within precisely the same tumor region-before, during and after adoptive T cell therapy-thereby enabling for the first time a longitudinal in vivo evaluation of protracted events, an analysis not possible with terminal imaging of surgically exposed tumors. T cell infiltration, stromal interactions, and vessel destruction, as well as the functional consequences thereof, including the elimination of cancer cells and cancer cell variants were studied. Minimal perivascular T cell infiltrates initiated vascular destruction inside the tumor mass eventually leading to macroscopic central tumor necrosis. Prolonged engagement of T cells with tumor antigen-crosspresenting stromal cells correlated with high IFN gamma cytokine release and bystander elimination of antigen-negative cancer cells. The high-resolution, longitudinal, in vivo imaging approach described here will help to further a better mechanistic understanding of tumor eradication by T cells and other anti-cancer therapies.

To elucidate electrophysiologic responses of the recurrent laryngeal nerves that were preoperatively paralyzed or invaded by malignancy and to use this information as an added functional parameter for intraoperative management of recurrent laryngeal nerves with malignant invasion. Study Design. Case series with chart review. Settings. Academic, tertiary care center. Subjects and Methods. All consecutive neck surgeries with nerve monitoring performed by senior author (GWR) between December 1995 and January 2007 were reviewed after obtaining Institutional Review Board approval from Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Human Subjects Committee and the Partners Human Research Committee. Electrophysiologic parameters in all cases with preoperative vocal cord paralysis/paresis, and the recurrent laryngeal nerve invasion by cancer, were studied. Results. Of the 1138 surgeries performed, 25 patients (2.1%) had preoperative vocal cord dysfunction. In patients with preoperative vocal cord dysfunction, recognizable recurrent laryngeal nerve electrophysiologic activity was preserved in over 50% of cases. Malignant invasion of the recurrent laryngeal nerve was found in 22 patients (1.9%). Neural invasion of the recurrent laryngeal nerve was associated with preoperative vocal cord paralysis in only 50% of these patients. In nerves invaded by malignancy, 60% maintained recognizable electrophysiologic activity, which was more commonly present and robust when vocal cord function was preserved. Conclusion. Knowledge of electrophysiologic intraoperative neural monitoring provides additional functional information and, along with preoperative vocal cord function information, aids in constructing decision algorithms regarding intraoperative management of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, in prognosticating postoperative outcomes, and in patient counseling regarding postoperative expectations.

Xia, Hongjing Khalil, Kheyal Ray, Arjun Van Vactor, David Bernards, Rene Bernards, Andre TI Genetic and Functional Studies Implicate Synaptic Overgrowth and Ring Gland cAMP/PKA Signaling Defects in the Drosophila melanogaster Neurofibromatosis-1 Growth Deficiency SO PLOS GENETICS LA English DT Article ID RECEPTOR TYROSINE KINASE; ANAPLASTIC LYMPHOMA KINASE; GTPASE-ACTIVATING PROTEIN; ANGIOGENIC FACTOR MIDKINE; INSULIN-LIKE PEPTIDES; ADENYLYL-CYCLASE; LIFE-SPAN; FAT-BODY; TUMOR-SUPPRESSOR; EYE DEVELOPMENT AB Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic disease that affects 1 in 3,000, is caused by loss of a large evolutionary conserved protein that serves as a GTPase Activating Protein (GAP) for Ras. Among Drosophila melanogaster Nf1 (dNf1) null mutant phenotypes, learning/memory deficits and reduced overall growth resemble human NF1 symptoms. These and other dNf1 defects are relatively insensitive to manipulations that reduce Ras signaling strength but are suppressed by increasing signaling through the 3'-5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) dependent Protein Kinase A (PKA) pathway, or phenocopied by inhibiting this pathway. However, whether dNf1 affects cAMP/PKA signaling directly or indirectly remains controversial. To shed light on this issue we screened 486 1st and 2nd chromosome deficiencies that uncover >80% of annotated genes for dominant modifiers of the dNf1 pupal size defect, identifying responsible genes in crosses with mutant alleles or by tissue-specific RNA interference (RNAi) knockdown. Validating the screen, identified suppressors include the previously implicated dAlk tyrosine kinase, its activating ligand jelly belly (jeb), two other genes involved in Ras/ERK signal transduction and several involved in cAMP/PKA signaling. Novel modifiers that implicate synaptic defects in the dNf1 growth deficiency include the intersectin-related synaptic scaffold protein Dap160 and the cholecystokinin receptor-related CCKLR-17D1 drosulfakinin receptor. Providing mechanistic clues, we show that dAlk, jeb and CCKLR-17D1 are among mutants that also suppress a recently identified dNf1 neuromuscular junction (NMJ) overgrowth phenotype and that manipulations that increase cAMP/PKA signaling in adipokinetic hormone (AKH)-producing cells at the base of the neuroendocrine ring gland restore the dNf1 growth deficiency. Finally, supporting our previous contention that ALK might be a therapeutic target in NF1, we report that human ALK is expressed in cells that give rise to NF1 tumors and that NF1 regulated ALK/RAS/ERK signaling appears conserved in man.

TI Deletion of the Murine Cytochrome P450 Cyp2j Locus by Fused BAC-Mediated Recombination Identifies a Role for Cyp2j in the Pulmonary Vascular Response to Hypoxia SO PLOS GENETICS LA English DT Article ID EPOXYGENASE-DERIVED EICOSANOIDS; ARACHIDONIC-ACID METABOLITES; EMBRYONIC STEM-CELLS; EPOXYEICOSATRIENOIC ACIDS; P-450 METABOLITES; VASOCONSTRICTION; MICE; GENE; HYPERTENSION; INJURY AB Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) confer vasoactive and cardioprotective functions. Genetic analysis of the contributions of these short-lived mediators to pathophysiology has been confounded to date by the allelic expansion in rodents of the portion of the genome syntenic to human CYP2J2, a gene encoding one of the principle cytochrome P450 epoxygenases responsible for the formation of EETs in humans. Mice have eight potentially functional genes that could direct the synthesis of epoxygenases with properties similar to those of CYP2J2. As an initial step towards understanding the role of the murine Cyp2j locus, we have created mice bearing a 626-kb deletion spanning the entire region syntenic to CYP2J2, using a combination of homologous and site-directed recombination strategies. A mouse strain in which the locus deletion was complemented by transgenic delivery of BAC sequences encoding human CYP2J2 was also created. Systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic measurements did not differ in wild-type, null, and complemented mice at baseline. However, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) during left mainstem bronchus occlusion was impaired and associated with reduced systemic oxygenation in null mice, but not in null mice bearing the human transgene. Administration of an epoxygenase inhibitor to wild-type mice also impaired HPV. These findings demonstrate that Cyp2j gene products regulate the pulmonary vascular response to hypoxia.

TI The Neonatal Fc Receptor (FcRn) Enhances Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Transcytosis across Epithelial Cells SO PLOS PATHOGENS LA English DT Article ID ANTIBODY-DEPENDENT ENHANCEMENT; FEMALE GENITAL-TRACT; MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES; DENDRITIC CELLS; HIV-1-INFECTED INDIVIDUALS; 1-INFECTED INDIVIDUALS; MEDIATED PRESENTATION; CERVICAL ECTOPY; HUMAN PLACENTA; VAGINAL PH AB The mechanisms by which human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) crosses mucosal surfaces to establish infection are unknown. Acidic genital secretions of HIV-1-infected women contain HIV-1 likely coated by antibody. We found that the combination of acidic pH and Env-specific IgG, including that from cervicovaginal and seminal fluids of HIV-1-infected individuals, augmented transcytosis across epithelial cells as much as 20-fold compared with Env-specific IgG at neutral pH or non-specific IgG at either pH. Enhanced transcytosis was observed with clinical HIV-1 isolates, including transmitted/founder strains, and was eliminated in Fc neonatal receptor (FcRn)-knockdown epithelial cells. Non-neutralizing antibodies allowed similar or less transcytosis than neutralizing antibodies. However, the ratio of total: infectious virus was higher for neutralizing antibodies, indicating that they allowed transcytosis while blocking infectivity of transcytosed virus. Immunocytochemistry revealed abundant FcRn expression in columnar epithelia lining the human endocervix and penile urethra. Acidity and Env-specific IgG enhance transcytosis of virus across epithelial cells via FcRn and could facilitate translocation of virus to susceptible target cells following sexual exposure.

Poignard, Pascal TI The Effects of Somatic Hypermutation on Neutralization and Binding in the PGT121 Family of Broadly Neutralizing HIV Antibodies SO PLOS PATHOGENS LA English DT Article ID MEMORY B-CELLS; HIV-1-NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES; MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES; POTENT; VIRUS; GP120; INFECTION; INDIVIDUALS; RECOGNITION; GENERATION AB Broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies (bnAbs) are typically highly somatically mutated, raising doubts as to whether they can be elicited by vaccination. We used 454 sequencing and designed a novel phylogenetic method to model lineage evolution of the bnAbs PGT121-134 and found a positive correlation between the level of somatic hypermutation (SHM) and the development of neutralization breadth and potency. Strikingly, putative intermediates were characterized that show approximately half the mutation level of PGT121-134 but were still capable of neutralizing roughly 40-80% of PGT121-134 sensitive viruses in a 74-virus panel at median titers between 15- and 3-fold higher than PGT121-134. Such antibodies with lower levels of SHM may be more amenable to elicitation through vaccination while still providing noteworthy coverage. Binding characterization indicated a preference of inferred intermediates for native Env binding over monomeric gp120, suggesting that the PGT121-134 lineage may have been selected for binding to native Env at some point during maturation. Analysis of glycan-dependent neutralization for inferred intermediates identified additional adjacent glycans that comprise the epitope and suggests changes in glycan dependency or recognition over the course of affinity maturation for this lineage. Finally, patterns of neutralization of inferred bnAb intermediates suggest hypotheses as to how SHM may lead to potent and broad HIV neutralization and provide important clues for immunogen design.

However, differences between obese and normal-weight depressed patients and the moderating effect of obesity on antidepressant treatment outcome are not well studied. Methods: Adults (n = 662) with major depressive disorder in the Combining Medications to Enhance Depression Outcomes study were randomized to treatment with escitalopram plus placebo, bupropion plus escitalopram, or venlafaxine plus mirtazapine for a 12-week primary treatment phase and 16-week follow-up. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated at baseline and categorized according to World health Organization criteria: normal or low weight (NW), overweight, Obese I and Obese II+. A repeated-effects model, unadjusted and adjusted for baseline variables, assessed outcomes. Results: Obesity was common (46.2%), only 25.5% were NW. Higher BMI was associated with greater medical illness (p < .001), social phobia (p = .003), and bulimia (p = .026). Lower BMI was associated with more frequent post-traumatic stress disorder (p = .002) and drug abuse (p < .001). Treatment outcomes did not differ including Week 12 remission rates (NW 36%, overweight 40%, Obese I 43%, Obese II+ 37%; p = .69). Lower BMI was associated with more frequent (p = .024 [unadjusted] and .053 [adjusted]) and more severe (p = .008 [unadjusted] and .053 [adjusted]) adverse effects. Conclusions: BMI was related to clinical presentation and prevalence of comorbidities, hut not antidepressant outcomes. Lower BMI classes had more psychiatric comorbidities, potentially obscuring the relationship between BMI and antidepressant effects. C1 [Toups, Marisa S.

Pumps are surgically inserted in a subcutaneous abdominal pocket and refilled with highly concentrated medication at regular intervals. Inadvertent injection of medication outside the pump is a known complication of the refill procedure. We describe the injection of hydromorphone into the pump's surrounding subcutaneous pocket, subsequent opioid overdose, and the novel application of ultrasound to visualize and aspirate the subcutaneous drug.

Methods: Data from two randomized clinical trials were evaluated for differences in visual acuity and optical coherence tomography parameters for eyes assigned to sham injection + prompt laser, ranibizumab + prompt laser, or prompt laser only: among subgroups of eyes treated exclusively and electively with either green or yellow laser. Results: In the sham injection + prompt laser group, the mean visual acuity letter score change for eyes receiving green and yellow laser treatment, respectively, was + 2.4 +/- 14 and + 5.1 +/- 13 at the 52-week visit (P = 0.06) and + 2.4 +/- 15 and + 6.0 +/- 13 at the 104-week visit (P = 0.13), with no corresponding evidence of differences in optical coherence tomography thickness. When comparing wavelength groups in the ranibizumab + prompt laser and prompt laser-only groups, meaningful differences in visual acuity and optical coherence tomography thickness were not detected at 1 year or 2 years. Conclusion: A trend toward improved vision outcome with yellow laser observed in one trial was not corroborated by anatomical outcomes or by the other trial. In this study, without random assignment to different wavelengths controlling for bias and confounding, it is not possible to determine whether one wavelength is better than the other.

Chronic sinusitis can be defined as two or more of the following symptoms lasting for more than 12 consecutive weeks: discolored rhinorrhea, postnasal drip, nasal obstruction, facial pressure or pain, or decreased sense of smell. Chronic sinusitis is further classified as chronic sinusitis with polyposis, chronic sinusitis without polyposis, or allergic fungal sinusitis using physical examination, and histologic and radiographic findings. Treatment methods for chronic sinusitis are based upon categorization of the disease and include oral and inhaled corticosteroids, nasal saline irrigations, and antibiotics in selected patients. Understanding the various forms of chronic sinusitis and managing and ruling out comorbidities are key to successful management of this common disorder.

TI Utility of Postoperative Radiographs After Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion With or Without Posterior Instrumentation SO SPINE LA English DT Article DE lumbar spine; fusion; radiograph; imaging; utility ID RADIATION-EXPOSURE; SCANS AB Study Design. Retrospective clinical and radiographical review. Objective. To evaluate the utility of plain radiographical surveillance after anterior lumbar interbody fusion and determine to what extent radiographical findings affect postoperative decision making. Summary of Background Data. Postoperative radiographical surveillance is a ubiquitous practice among spine surgeons, which lacks evidence and has received growing attention in an environment of increasing health care cost and receding resources. Lumbar interbody fusions are being performed with increasing frequency from numerous approaches; nonetheless, there are no evidence-based guidelines for postoperative radiographical evaluation of patients after these procedures. Methods. One hundred forty-six consecutive patients who underwent anterior lumbar interbody fusion with or without short segment posterior fusion from 2008 to 2011 were reviewed. Exclusion criteria were less than 6 months of follow-up, prior surgery, hybrid constructs with disc arthroplasty, and concurrent posterior fusion of greater than 3 levels. Three hundred fifty-nine radiographical series and 330 clinic notes of the included 67 patients were reviewed. Radiographs were evaluated for abnormalities and clinic notes reviewed for any changes in clinical management by multiple reviewers. Interobserver reliability, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated. Results. There was no single instance of a change in treatment course based on radiographical findings alone in any of the 330 clinic visits of the 67 included patients during an average 15.8-month postoperative follow-up period. Thirty-four of the 67 patients (51%) had some change in their management on the basis of their clinical symptoms and/or examination. Interobserver agreement for change in management was 0.96 (kappa = 0.918). Sensitivity (6%), specificity (97%), positive predictive value (67%), and negative predictive value (50%) were calculated. Conclusion. Routine postoperative radiographical surveillance has minimal value for asymptomatic patients after anterior lumbar interbody fusion with or without posterior fusion. Obtaining a limited number of postoperative films of these patients in the absence of clinical symptoms or risk factors could significantly reduce health care costs and unnecessary radiation exposure.

TI Wheeze in infancy: protection associated with yeasts in house dust contrasts with increased risk associated with yeasts in indoor air and other fungal taxa SO ALLERGY LA English DT Article DE asthma; fungi; housing; wheeze; yeast ID 1ST YEAR; AIRBORNE FUNGI; CHILDHOOD ASTHMA; LIFE; EXPOSURE; COHORT; GLUCAN; SENSITIZATION; ENVIRONMENTS; RESPONSES AB BackgroundWhile fungal exposures are assumed to provoke wheeze through irritant or allergenic mechanisms, little is known about the differential effects of indoor and outdoor fungi on early-life wheeze. MethodsIn a Boston prospective birth cohort of 499 at-risk infants, culturable fungi in bedroom air and dust and outdoor air were measured at the age of 2-3months. Wheeze was determined using bimonthly telephone questionnaires. Odds ratios were estimated for an interquartile increase in fungal natural log-transformed concentrations, adjusting for predictors of wheeze and potential confounders. ResultsIncreased odds of any wheeze' (1 vs 0 episodes) by age one were positively associated with indoor dust Alternaria [odds ratio (OR)=1.83; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07-3.14], Penicillium [OR=1.18; (0.98-1.43)], and Cladosporium [OR=1.47; (1.16-1.85)]; indoor air Penicillium [OR=1.26; (0.92-1.74)]; and outdoor air Cladosporium [OR=1.68; (1.04-2.72)]. In contrast, indoor dust yeasts were protective [OR=0.78; (0.66-0.93)]. Frequent wheeze' (2 vs <2 episodes) by age one was borderline associated with dust yeasts [OR=0.86; (0.70-1.04)] and indoor air yeasts [OR=1.53; (0.93-2.53)]. Alternaria concentration was associated with any wheeze for children with maternal mold sensitization [OR=9.16; (1.37-61.22)], but not for those without maternal mold sensitization [OR=1.32; (0.79-2.20)]. ConclusionsWhile wheeze rates were higher with exposures to fungal taxa considered to be irritant or allergenic in sensitive subjects, yeasts in the home had a strong protective association with wheeze in infancy. Molecular microbiologic studies may elucidate specific components of innate microbiologic stimulants that lead to contrasting effects on wheeze development. C1 [Behbod, B.; Hoffman, E.

TI Depression Self-Management Assistance Using Automated Telephonic Assessments and Social Support SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MANAGED CARE LA English DT Article ID RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; INTERACTIVE VOICE RESPONSE; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; PRIMARY-CARE; CHRONIC ILLNESS; MOBILE ASSESSMENT; MENTAL-DISORDERS; HEALTH; TIME; INTERVENTIONS AB Objective: To understand patient participation in interactive voice response (IVR) depression monitoring and Self-management support calls and estimate the workload from clinical alerts based on patients' IVR reports. Study Design: Observational study from program implementation in 13 community- and university-based primary care practices. Methods: Patients with depression were identified using electronic records and enrolled by telephone. Patients were asked to complete IVR assessments weekly; those with significantly improved symptoms had the option of completing assessments monthly. Patients could enroll with an informal caregiver who received automated feedback based on patients' IVR reports. Clinicians received alerts regarding significant changes in the scores on the Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item depression measure, antidepressant adherence problems, or suicidal ideation. Results: A total of 387 patients were followed for 12,042 weeks. More than half (59%) opted to participate with a caregiver. Patients completed 68% of 7912 attempted IVR assessments. Assessment completion was unrelated to patients' depressive symptoms and was higher among those who participated with a caregiver, were married, had more comorbidities, or reported missing a prior appointment. Assessment completion was lower when patients received monthly versus weekly assessment attempts. Clinical alerts were generated during 4.9% of follow-up weeks; most represented medication adherence problems (2.8%). Alerts indicating suicidal ideation were rare (0.2% of patient-weeks). Conclusions: IVR support calls represent a viable strategy for increasing access to depression monitoring and self-management assistance in primary care. These programs generate a manageable number of alerts, most of which can be triaged with limited physician involvement.

TI Variations in the Service Quality of Medical Practices SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MANAGED CARE LA English DT Article ID HEALTH-CARE; REGIONAL-VARIATIONS; PHYSICIAN; SATISFACTION; PATIENT; STATES AB Objectives: To examine regional variation in the service quality of physician practices and to assess the association of this variation with the supply and organization of physicians. Study Design: Secondary analyses of the Community Tracking Study (CTS) household and physician surveys. Methods: A total of 40,339 individuals who had seen a primary care physician because of an illness or injury and 17,345 generalist physicians across 4 survey time periods in 60 CTS sites were included. Service quality measures used were lag between making an appointment and seeing a physician, and wait time at the physician's office. Our supply measure was the physician-to-population ratio. Our organizational measure was the percentage of physicians in group practices. Multivariate regressions were performed to examine the relationship between service quality and the supply and organization of physicians. Results: There was substantial variation in the service quality of physician visits across the country. For example, in 2003, the average wait time to see a doctor was 16 minutes in Milwaukee but more than 41 minutes in Miami; the average appointment lag for a sick visit in 2003 was 1.2 days in west-central Alabama but almost 6 days in Northwestern Washington. Service quality was not associated with the primary care physician-to-population ratio and had varying associations with the organization of practices. Conclusions: Cross-site variation in service quality of care in primary care has been large, persistent, and associated with the organization of practices. Areas with higher primary care physician-to-population ratios had longer, not shorter, appointment lags. C1 [Ly, Dan P.] Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

TI Using Health Outcomes to Validate Access Quality Measures SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MANAGED CARE LA English DT Article ID ACCOUNTABLE CARE; PERFORMANCE; MORTALITY AB Background: Medicare payment reforms will reimburse accountable care organizations (ACOs) for providing high-quality healthcare. Quality measures that reliably predict health outcomes are required. Objectives: To compare the ability of alternative wait time measures to predict glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels among diabetes patients. Study Design: This retrospective observational study relied on Veterans Health Administration utilization data and Medicare claims data from 2005 to 2010. Methods: Outcomes included an average A1C level and uncontrolled A1C. Heckman selection models simultaneously predicted the presence of an A1C value and its level. Models were risk-adjusted for prior individual health status. The main explanatory variables of interest were facility-level primary care wait times measured in days. Several measures were tested, including capacity measures and retrospective and prospective time stamp measures. The time stamp measures used either the date the appointment was created in the scheduling system (create date) or the date the patient or provider desired the appointment (desired date) as the start date for wait time computation. All measures were calculated separately for new and returning patients. Results: New patient capacity and create date measures significantly predicted outcomes, but desired date measures did not. The returning patient retrospective create date and desired date wait time measures significantly predicted higher and uncontrolled A1C, but capacity and prospective create date measures did not. Conclusions: Different administrative wait times predict A1C for new and returning patients. To properly measure quality. ACOs should use wait time measures that demonstrate relationships with outcomes for subpopulations of patients. C1 [Prentice, Julia C.; Pizer, Steven D.] US Dept Vet Affairs, Boston, MA USA.

TI Volumetric Tumor Growth in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With EGFR Mutations During EGFR-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy Developing Criteria to Continue Therapy Beyond RECIST Progression SO CANCER LA English DT Article DE lung cancer; computed tomography; tumor volume; tumor growth rate; epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors ID DIFFERENT TREATMENT MODALITIES; GUIDELINE VERSION 1.1; FACTOR RECEPTOR; ACQUIRED-RESISTANCE; RESPONSE CRITERIA; SOLID TUMORS; 1ST-LINE TREATMENT; PROGNOSTIC-FACTOR; OPEN-LABEL; GEFITINIB AB BACKGROUNDThe objective of this study was to define the volumetric tumor growth rate in patients who had advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with sensitizing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and had initially received treatment with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy beyond progression. METHODSThe study included 58 patients with advanced NSCLC who had sensitizing EGFR mutations treated with first-line gefitinib or erlotinib, had baseline computed tomography (CT) scans available that revealed a measurable lung lesion, had at least 2 follow-up CT scans during TKI therapy, and had experienced volumetric tumor growth. The tumor volume (in mm(3)) of the dominant lung lesion was measured on baseline and follow-up CT scans during therapy. In total, 405 volume measurements were analyzed in a linear mixed-effects model, fitting time as a random effect, to define the growth rate of the logarithm of tumor volume (log(e)V). RESULTSA linear mixed-effects model was fitted to predict the growth of log(e)V, adjusting for time in months from baseline. Log(e)V was estimated as a function of time in months among patients whose tumors started growing after the nadir: log(e)V=0.12*time+7.68. In this formula, the regression coefficient for time, 0.12/month, represents the growth rate of log(e)V (standard error, 0.015/month; P<.001). When adjusted for baseline volume, log(e)V(0), the growth rate was also 0.12/month (standard error, 0.015/month; P<.001; log(e)V=0.12*months+0.72 log(e)V(0)+0.61). CONCLUSIONSTumor volume models defined volumetric tumor growth after the nadir in patients with EGFR-mutant, advanced NSCLC who were receiving TKI, providing a reference value for the tumor growth rate in patients who progress after the nadir on TKI therapy. The results can be studied further in additional cohorts to develop practical criteria to help identify patients who are slowly progressing and can safely remain on EGFR-TKIs.

The objective of this study was to describe the most common oncogenic mutations in cervical cancers and to explore genomic differences between the 2 most common histologic subtypes: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. METHODSA high-throughput genotyping platform, termed Oncomap, was used to interrogate 80 cervical tumors for 1250 known mutations in 139 cancer genes. Samples were analyzed using a mass spectrometry-based genotyping platform and were validated using orthogonal chemistry. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations were further validated by massive parallel sequencing. Human papilloma virus (HPV) genotyping also was performed. RESULTSValidated mutations were detected in 48 of 80 tumors (60%) examined. The highest mutation rates were in the genes phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, catalytic subunit (PIK3CA) (31.3%); Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) (8.8%); and EGFR (3.8%). PIK3CA mutation rates did not differ significantly between adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas (25% vs 37.5%, respectively; P=.33). In contrast, KRAS mutations were identified only in adenocarcinomas (17.5% vs 0%; P=.01), and a novel EGFR mutation was detected only in squamous cell carcinomas (0% vs 7.5%; P=.24). There were no associations between HPV-16 or HPV-18 and somatic mutations or overall survival. In adjusted analyses, PIK3CA mutations were associated with shorter survival (67.1 months vs 90.3 months; hazard ratio, 9.1; 95% confidence interval, 2.8-29.5 months; P<.001). CONCLUSIONSCervical cancers harbor high rates of potentially targetable oncogenic mutations. In addition, cervical squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma have distinct molecular profiles, suggesting that clinical outcomes may be improved with the use of more tailored treatment strategies, including PI3K and MEK inhibitors.

The objective of this study was to assess changes over time and geographic disparities in the availability of mammography services. METHODSUsing information from the US Food and Drug Administration and the US Census, county-level mammography capacity was defined as the number of mammography machines per 10,000 women aged40 years. Cross-sectional variation and longitudinal changes in capacity were examined in relation to county characteristics. RESULTSBetween 2000 and 2010, the number of mammography facilities declined 10% from 9434 to 8469, the number of mammography machines declined 10% from 13,100 to 11,762, and the median county mammography capacity decreased nearly 20% from 1.77 to 1.42 machines per 10,000 women aged40 years. In cross-sectional analysis, counties with greater percentages of uninsured residents, less educated residents, greater population density, and higher managed care penetration had lower mammography capacity. Conversely, counties with more hospital beds per 100,000 population had higher capacity. High initial mammography capacity, growth in both the percentage of the population aged65 years and the percentage living in poverty, and increased managed care penetration were all associated with a decrease in mammography capacity between 2000 and 2010. Only the percentage of rural residents was associated with an increase in capacity. CONCLUSIONSGeographic variation in mammography capacity and declines in capacity over time are associated with demographic, socioeconomic, and health care market characteristics. Maldistribution of mammography resources may explain geographic disparities in breast cancer screening rates. Cancer 2013;119:3847-3853. (c) 2013 American Cancer Society.

Although leukotrienes are abundantly expressed in skin affected by diverse chronic inflammatory diseases, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid, their pathological roles in these diseases have remained elusive. Recent data now reveal that both leukotriene B-4 and cysteinyl leukotrienes are indispensable in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, with leukotriene B-4 initiating the recruitment of inflammatory cells, particularly neutrophils and T(H)2 cells into the skin, and cysteinyl leukotrienes later inducing characteristic structural alterations of chronically affected skin, specifically skin fibrosis and keratinocyte proliferation. Thus, these results reveal a sequential cooperation of LTB4 and cysteinyl leukotrienes to initiate and perpetuate allergic skin inflammation. These new insights highlight leukotrienes as promising therapeutic targets in allergic skin inflammation and should encourage more research into the role of leukotrienes in other inflammatory skin diseases.

TI Correlation of AO and Lauge-Hansen Classification Systems for Ankle Fractures to the Mechanism of Injury SO FOOT & ANKLE INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE Lauge-Hansen classification system; YouTube; ankle fracture classification; injury videos; AO classification system ID OBSERVER VARIATION AB Background: Our aim was to assess whether the Lauge-Hansen (LH) and the Muller AO classification systems for ankle fractures radiographically correlate with in vivo injuries based on observed mechanism of injury. Methods: Videos of potential study candidates were reviewed on YouTube.com. Individuals were recruited for participation if the video could be classified by injury mechanism with a high likelihood of sustaining an ankle fracture. Corresponding injury radiographs were obtained. Injury mechanism was classified using the LH system as supination/external rotation (SER), supination/adduction (SAD), pronation/external rotation (PER), or pronation/abduction (PAB). Corresponding radiographs were classified by the LH system and the AO system. Results: Thirty injury videos with their corresponding radiographs were collected. Of the video clips reviewed, 16 had SAD mechanisms and 14 had PER mechanisms. There were 26 ankle fractures, 3 nonfractures, and 1 subtalar dislocation. Twelve fractures with SAD mechanisms had corresponding SAD fracture patterns. Five PER mechanisms had PER fracture patterns. Eight PER mechanisms had SER fracture patterns and 1 had SAD fracture pattern. When the AO classification was used, all 12 SAD type injuries had a 44A type fracture, whereas the 14 PER injuries resulted in nine 44B fractures, two 44C fractures, and three 43A fractures. Conclusion: When injury video clips of ankle fractures were matched to their corresponding radiographs, the LH system was 65% (17/26) consistent in predicting fracture patterns from the deforming injury mechanism. When the AO classification system was used, consistency was 81% (21/26). The AO classification, despite its development as a purely radiographic system, correlated with in vivo injuries, as based on observed mechanism of injury, more closely than did the LH system.

TI Genome-wide association study of shared components of reading disability and language impairment SO GENES BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR LA English DT Article DE ALSPAC; dyslexia GWAS; language impairment; PING; reading disability; ZNF385D ID DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER; ALTERED BRAIN ACTIVATION; DEVELOPMENTAL DYSLEXIA; KIAA0319; SPEECH; DCDC2; GENE; CHILDREN; ATTENTION; REGIONS AB Written and verbal languages are neurobehavioral traits vital to the development of communication skills. Unfortunately, disorders involving these traitsspecifically reading disability (RD) and language impairment (LI)are common and prevent affected individuals from developing adequate communication skills, leaving them at risk for adverse academic, socioeconomic and psychiatric outcomes. Both RD and LI are complex traits that frequently co-occur, leading us to hypothesize that these disorders share genetic etiologies. To test this, we performed a genome-wide association study on individuals affected with both RD and LI in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. The strongest associations were seen with markers in ZNF385D (OR=1.81, P=5.45x10(-7)) and COL4A2 (OR=1.71, P=7.59x10(-7)). Markers within NDST4 showed the strongest associations with LI individually (OR=1.827, P=1.40x10(-7)). We replicated association of ZNF385D using receptive vocabulary measures in the Pediatric Imaging Neurocognitive Genetics study (P=0.00245). We then used diffusion tensor imaging fiber tract volume data on 16 fiber tracts to examine the implications of replicated markers. ZNF385D was a predictor of overall fiber tract volumes in both hemispheres, as well as global brain volume. Here, we present evidence for ZNF385D as a candidate gene for RD and LI. The implication of transcription factor ZNF385D in RD and LI underscores the importance of transcriptional regulation in the development of higher order neurocognitive traits. Further study is necessary to discern target genes of ZNF385D and how it functions within neural development of fluent language. C1 [Eicher, J. D.; Powers, N. R.; Gruen, J.

The patients were divided into two groups based on the follow-up period: <365 days or >= 365 days. A total of 181 images were analyzed. Those with MC had a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate [51 (6-60) versus 61 (52-72) mL/minute/1.73 m(2); P < 0.01] and longer time after stenting [3198 (1710-3684) versus 211 (180-516) days; P < 0.01] compared to those without NIC. NIC during short-term follow-up was observed only in patients who were on hemodialysis. On the other hand, NIC in the long-term follow-up was observed only in patients with bare metal stents. The development of NIC was related to renal function and time after stenting. MC in the short-term and the long-term follow-up was observed only in patients who were on hemodialysis and who were implanted with a bare metal stent, respectively.

Continuation of metabolic activity leads to depletion of energy stores and loss of cellular function, which results in poor post-transplant function. Machine perfusion (MP) applied at the end of preservation may improve the viability of marginal liver grafts and provides information on the quality of the organ. We attempt to define the limits to SCS in terms of easily measurable perfusion parameters and investigate whether MP can improve liver viability. Methods: Rat livers were cold-stored for 0, 24, 48, 72, and 120 h, after which they were treated with subnormothermic machine perfusion (SNMP). Livers cold-stored for 48 and 72 h were transplanted orthotopically with or without SNMP. During SNMP easily measurable parameters were monitored and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content was measured following preservation and SNMP. Results: ATP increased significantly during SNMP, but the recovered ATP content deteriorated with increased duration of SCS, with minimal improvement after 72 h of SCS. Vascular resistance during SNMP increased with extended preservation. After 48 h of SCS, orthotopic transplantation survival increased significantly from 50% to 100% with SNMP, but did not improve after 72 h. Conclusions: Vascular resistance and ATP recovery suggest a decrease in viability after 48 h of SCS. Survival data confirms the loss of post-transplant graft function and supports the use of ATP and vascular resistance as useful indicators. Further, we show that the recoverability of a liver using SNMP is limited to 48 h of SCS.

Primary outcomes were sexual activity at 8 to 10 weeks postpartum and global and subscale SHOW-Q scores at 6 to 8 months postpartum; the primary predictor was mode of birth. Associations were assessed using multiple linear and logistic regression analyses. Results: Seventy-five percent of this population (n = 140 at 8-10 weeks, n = 129 at 6-8 months) gave birth vaginally, and 60.7% resumed sexual activity by 8 to 10 weeks postpartum. Only multiparity was associated with increased odds of having resumed sexual activity by 8 to 10 weeks postpartum (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.44; P = .03), whereas older age was associated with decreased odds (aOR, 0.92; P = .02) of having resumed sexual activity. Women who were depressed (effect estimate, -13.3; P = .01), older (-1.1, P = .01), or exclusively breastfeeding (-16.5, P < .001) had significantly poorer sexual satisfaction, whereas multiparous women reported better sexual satisfaction (11.1, P =. 03). A significant relationship between mode of birth and SHOW-Q scores did not emerge, although we did observe a trend toward lower SHOW-Q scores among women who underwent cesarean compared with those giving birth vaginally. Discussion: Multiparity and younger age predict early resumption of sexual activity, whereas depression and breastfeeding are associated with poorer postpartum sexual functioning. The relationship between mode of birth and resumed sexual activity or postpartum sexual function remains uncertain.(C) 2013 by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.

Fontes, Paulo TI Muscle Mass Predicts Outcomes Following Liver Transplantation SO LIVER TRANSPLANTATION LA English DT Article ID NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT; COMPUTED-TOMOGRAPHY; BODY-COMPOSITION; CIRRHOSIS; PREVALENCE; VALIDATION; MORTALITY; INDEX; AREA AB For patients with end-stage liver disease, commonly used indices of nutritional status (ie, body weight and body mass index) are often inflated because of fluid overload (ie, ascites and peripheral edema), and this results in an underdiagnosis of malnutrition. Because muscle is the largest protein reservoir in the body, an estimate of the muscle mass may be a more reliable and valid estimate of nutritional status. Therefore, we used pretransplant computed tomography data for 338 liver transplantation (LT) candidates to identify muscle and fat mass on the basis of a specific abdominal transverse section commonly used in body composition analyses, and we investigated the contribution of this measure to specific post-LT outcomes. We found that the majority of our patients (68%) could be defined as cachectic. For men, muscle mass predicted many important posttransplant outcomes, including intensive care unit (ICU) stay, total length of stay (LOS), and days of intubation. Muscle mass was a significant predictor of survival and also predicted disposition to home versus another facility. For women, muscle mass predicted ICU stay, total LOS, and days of intubation, but the effect was modest. Muscle mass did not predict survival or disposition for women. In conclusion, because pretransplant muscle mass is associated with many important postoperative outcomes, we discuss these findings in the context of possible pretransplant interventions for either improving or sustaining muscle mass before surgery.

The past years have witnessed increasing evidence establishing nesfatin-1 as a potent physiological inhibitor of food intake and body weight and unravelled nesfatin-1's interaction with other brain transmitters to exert its food consumption inhibitory effect. As observed for other anorexigenic brain neuropeptides, nesfatin-1 is also likely to exert additional, if not pleiotropic, actions in the brain and periphery. Recent studies established the prominent expression of the nesfatin-1 precursor, nucleobindin2 (NUCB2), in the stomach and pancreas, where nesfatin-1 influences endocrine secretion. This review will highlight the current experimental state-of-knowledge on the effects of NUCB2/nesfatin-1 on food intake, body weight and glucose homeostasis. Potential implications in human obesity will be discussed in relation to the evidence of changes in circulating levels of NUCB2/nesfatin-1 in disease states, the occurrence of genetic NUCB2 polymorphisms and - in contrast to several other hormones - the independence of leptin signalling known to be blunted under conditions of chronically increased body weight.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors report three cases of retinal artery occlusion due to carotid artery dissection and briefly review the literature. RESULTS: Antecedent trauma or neck injury was reported in only 42% (five of 12) of previously reported cases and in none of the three cases presented here. All three patients in this series initially denied symptoms such as headache or neck pain; however, one patient's wife later recalled her husband experiencing minor neck soreness several days prior to visual loss. In 17% (two of 12) of previously reported cases, no additional symptoms of carotid dissection were reported. CONCLUSION: These cases highlight the importance of considering carotid dissection in young patients with retinal artery occlusion, even in the absence of a report of recent trauma or associated symptoms such as pain.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study evaluating sexual health and sexually transmitted infection screening occurring in veterans receiving initial erectile dysfunction medication prescription was conducted. Results: A total of 252 patients received initial erectile dysfunction medication prescriptions between October 1, 2009, and December 31, 2009; had at least 1 health care provider visit 12 months before the date of initial prescription; and had no documentation of previous erectile dysfunction medication use. Approximately 3% of these patients had any aspect of a sexual history recorded in the 24 months surrounding initial erectile dysfunction medication prescription. Sexually transmitted infection screening was 9.9% for syphilis, 4.8% for HIV, and 4.3% for gonorrhea/chlamydia before prescription, with only a slight increase in HIV screening after prescription. Conclusions: Minimal sexual health assessment is being performed during the time surrounding initial prescription of erectile dysfunction medication. Further work needs to evaluate patient and provider barriers to basic elements of sexual health care, such as taking sexual histories or screening for sexually transmitted infections.

Evert, Jessica TI Global Health Educational Engagement-A Tale of Two Models SO ACADEMIC MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID MEDICAL-EDUCATION; PROGRAMS; WORK; EXPERIENCES; CURRICULUM; PHYSICIANS; HUMILITY; STUDENTS; SCHOOLS; ETHICS AB Global health learning experiences for medical students sit at the intersection of capacity building, ethics, and education. As interest in global health programs during medical school continues to rise, Northwestern University Alliance for International Development, a student-led and -run organization at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, has provided students with the opportunity to engage in two contrasting models of global health educational engagement. Eleven students, accompanied by two Northwestern physicians, participated in a one-week trip to Matagalpa, Nicaragua, in December 2010. This model allowed learning within a familiar Western framework, facilitated high-volume care, and focused on hands-on experiences. This approach aimed to provide basic medical services to the local population. In July 2011, 10 other Feinberg students participated in a four-week program in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, which was coordinated by Child Family Health International, a nonprofit organization that partners with native health care providers. A longer duration, homestays, and daily language classes hallmarked this experience. An intermediary, third-party organization served to bridge the cultural and ethical gap between visiting medical students and the local population. This program focused on providing a holistic cultural experience for rotating students. Establishing comprehensive global health curricula requires finding a balance between providing medical students with a fulfilling educational experience and honoring the integrity of populations that are medically underserved. This article provides a rich comparison between two global health educational models and aims to inform future efforts to standardize global health education curricula.

TI Educational Objectives for International Medical Electives: A Literature Review SO ACADEMIC MEDICINE LA English DT Review ID GLOBAL HEALTH ELECTIVES; CHILD HEALTH; PEDIATRIC RESIDENTS; EXPERIENCE; OPPORTUNITIES; STUDENTS; COMPETENCES; CURRICULUM; PROGRAM AB Purpose Although most medical schools and residency programs offer international medical electives (IMEs), little guidance on the educational objectives for these rotations exists; thus, the authors reviewed the literature to compile and categorize a comprehensive set of educational objectives for IMEs. Method In February and July 2012, the authors searched SciVerse Scopus online, which includes the Embase and MEDLINE databases, using specified terms. From the articles that met their inclusion criteria, they extracted the educational objectives of IMEs and sorted them into preelective, intraelective, and postelective objectives. Results The authors identified and reviewed 255 articles, 11 (4%) of which described 22 educational objectives. Among those 22 objectives, 5 (23%), 15 (68%), and 2 (9%) were, respectively, preelective, intraelective, and postelective objectives. Among preelective objectives, only cultural awareness appeared in more than 2 articles (3/11; 27%). Among intraelective objectives, the most commonly defined were enhancing clinical skills and understanding different health care systems (9/11; 82%). Learning to manage diseases rarely seen at home and increasing cultural awareness appeared in nearly half (5/11; 45%) of all articles. Among postelective objectives, reflecting on experiences through a written project was most common (9/11; 82%). Conclusions The authors identified 22 educational objectives for IMEs in the published literature, some of which were consistent across institutions. These consistencies, in conjunction with future research, can be used as a framework on which institutions can build their own IME curricula, ultimately helping to ensure that their medical trainees have a meaningful learning experience while abroad.

OBJECTIVE To examine the effectiveness of a home-based intervention to improve household routines known to be associated with childhood obesity among a sample of low-income, racial/ethnic minority families with young children. DESIGN Randomized trial. SETTING The intervention was delivered in the families' homes. PARTICIPANTS The study involved 121 families with children aged 2 to 5 years who had a television (TV) in the room where he or she slept; 111 (92%) had 6-month outcome data (55 intervention and 56 control). The mean (SD) age of the children was 4.0 (1.1) years; 45% were overweight/obese. Fifty-two percent of the children were Hispanic, 34% were black, and 14% were white/other. Nearly 60% of the families had household incomes of $20 000 or less. INTERVENTIONS The 6-month intervention promoted 4 household routines, family meals, adequate sleep, limiting TV time, and removing the TV from the child's bedroom, using (1) motivational coaching at home and by phone, (2) mailed educational materials, and (3) text messages. Control subjects were mailed materials focused on child development. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Change in parent report of frequency of family meals (times/wk), child sleep duration (hours/d), child weekday and weekend day TV viewing (hours/d), and the presence of a TV in the room where the child slept from baseline to 6 months. A secondary outcome was change in age- and sex-adjusted body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared). RESULTS Compared with control subjects, intervention participants had increased sleep duration (0.75 hours/d; 95% CI, 0.06 to 1.44; P =.03), greater decreases in TV viewing on weekend days (-1.06 hours/d; 95% CI, -1.97 to -0.15; P =.02), and decreased body mass index (-0.40; 95% CI, -0.79 to 0.00; P =.05). No significant intervention effect was found for the presence of a TV in the room where the child slept or family meal frequency. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Our results suggest that promoting household routines, particularly increasing sleep duration and reducing TV viewing, may be an effective approach to reduce body mass index among low-income, racial/ethnic minority children. Longer-term studies are needed to determine maintenance of behavior change.

TI Active Vitamin D Treatment for Reduction of Residual Proteinuria: A Systematic Review SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF NEPHROLOGY LA English DT Article ID CHRONIC KIDNEY-DISEASE; RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM; CONVERTING ENZYME-INHIBITORS; RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; GLOMERULAR-FILTRATION-RATE; TYPE-2 DIABETIC-NEPHROPATHY; NONDIABETIC RENAL-DISEASE; D-RECEPTOR ACTIVATION; POST-HOC ANALYSIS; CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS AB Despite renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade, which retards progression of CKD by reducing proteinuria, many patients with CKD have residual proteinuria, an independent risk factor for disease progression. We aimed to address whether active vitamin D analogs reduce residual proteinuria. We systematically searched for trials published between 1950 and September of 2012 in the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. All randomized controlled trials of vitamin D analogs in patients with CKD that reported an effect on proteinuria with sample size50 were selected. Mean differences of proteinuria change over time and odds ratios for reaching 15% proteinuria decrease from baseline to last measurement were synthesized under a random effects model. From 907 citations retrieved, six studies (four studies with paricalcitol and two studies with calcitriol) providing data for 688 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Most patients (84%) used an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker throughout the study. Active vitamin D analogs reduced proteinuria (weighted mean difference from baseline to last measurement was -16% [95% CI, -13% to -18%]) compared with controls (+6% [95% CI, 0% to +12%]; P<0.001). Proteinuria reduction was achieved more commonly in patients treated with an active vitamin D analog (204/390 patients) than control patients (86/298 patients; OR, 2.72 [95% CI, 1.82 to 4.07]; P<0.001). Thus, active vitamin D analogs may further reduce proteinuria in CKD patients in addition to current regimens. Future studies should address whether vitamin D therapy also retards progressive renal functional decline.

We tested 14 urinary biomarkers for association with incident kidney, cardiovascular, and mortality outcomes in 2948 Framingham Heart Study participants. Baseline examinations were performed between 1995 and 1998; mean follow-up was 10.1 years for renal outcomes and 11.2 years for survival analyses. Primary outcomes were incident CKD, incident albuminuria, incident cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Secondary analyses assessed incident congestive heart failure (CHF) and mortality with coexistent kidney disease. Biomarkers were tested for association with renal end points using logistic regression and incident cardiovascular and mortality outcomes in proportional hazards models; 1-microglobulin, Kim-1, and TFF-3 predicted all-cause mortality (hazard ratio per SD increase in log-transformed biomarker [HR] range, 1.15 to 1.21; 95% confidence interval [CI] range, 1.04 to 1.34; P values=0.007 to <0.001), whereas 1-microglobulin, 2-microglobulin, KIM-1, and TFF-3 associated with death with coexistent kidney disease (HR range, 1.72-2.25; 95% CI, 1.17 to 3.24; P values<0.01). KIM-1 also associated with the risk of incident CHF (HR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.63; P=0.008). CTGF associated nominally with CKD (HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.71 to 0.98; P=0.03), but no other biomarkers associated with incident CKD or albuminuria. Addition of 1-microglobulin and TFF-3 resulted in a nonsignificant net reclassification index (NRI) of 3% for all-cause mortality beyond clinical risk factors. In conclusion, components of a panel of 14 subclinical biomarkers of kidney injury were associated with important clinical outcomes and merit additional investigation.

TI The Relationship Between Coping Styles in Response to Unfair Treatment and Understanding of Diabetes Self-Care SO DIABETES EDUCATOR LA English DT Article ID CLINICAL COMORBIDITY INDEX; AFRICAN-AMERICANS; DECISION-MAKING; HEALTH; RACISM; DISCRIMINATION; PERSPECTIVES; RELIABILITY; STRATEGIES; VALIDATION AB Purpose This study examined the relationship between coping style and understanding of diabetes self-care among African American and white elders in a southern Medicare-managed care plan. Methods Participants were identified through a diabetes-related pharmacy claim or ICD-9 code and completed a computer-assisted telephone survey in 2006-2007. Understanding of diabetes self-care was assessed using the Diabetes Care Profile Understanding (DCP-U) scale. Coping styles were classified as active (talk about it/take action) or passive (keep it to yourself). Linear regression was used to estimate the associations between coping style with the DCP-U, adjusting for age, sex, education, and comorbidities. Based on the conceptual model, 4 separate categories were established for African American and white participants who displayed active and passive coping styles. Results Of 1420 participants, the mean age was 73 years, 46% were African American, and 63% were female. Most respondents (77%) exhibited active coping in response to unfair treatment. For African American participants in the study, active coping was associated with higher adjusted mean DCP-U scores when compared to participants with a passive coping style. No difference in DCP-U score was noted among white participants on the basis of coping style. Conclusions Active coping was more strongly associated with understanding of diabetes self-care among older African Americans than whites. Future research on coping styles may give new insights into reducing diabetes disparities among racial/ethnic minorities. C1 [Dyke, Michelle L.] Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

Methods Focus groups were used to collect qualitative data concerning bodily aesthetic ideals and diabetes management, including help-seeking experiences, from Latina women with T2DM (n = 29) receiving care through Latino Diabetes Initiative at the Joslin Diabetes Center. Focus groups were conducted in Spanish, audiotaped, transcribed, and content analyzed. Results Four main themes emerged: (1) a preference among participants for a larger than average body size, although perceptions of attractiveness were more closely linked to grooming than body size; bodily dissatisfaction centered on diabetes-induced skin changes, virilization, and fatigue rather than weight; (2) diabetic complications, especially foot pain, as a major obstacle to exercise; (3) fatalistic attitudes regarding the inevitability of diabetes and reversal of its complications; and (4) social burdens, isolation, and financial stressors as contributing to disease exacerbation. Conclusions Interventions that emphasize reduced body size may be less effective with Latinas who have T2DM than those that emphasize the benefits of exercise and weight loss for skin health, energy levels, and reduced virilization.

Postcancer cognitive impairment (PCCI) is observed in a substantial number of breast cancer survivors, persisting for as long as 20 years in some subgroups. Although compensatory strategies are frequently suggested, no restorative interventions have yet been identified. This study examined the feasibility of EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) and its potential effectiveness in reducing PCCI as well as the fatigue, sleep disturbance, and psychological symptoms that frequently accompany PCCI. Study design. This was a 6-month prospective study with a waitlist control period followed by an active intervention. Participants were female breast cancer survivors (n = 23), 6 to 60 months postchemotherapy, with self-reported cognitive impairment. Methods. Four self-report outcome measures (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function [FACT-Cog], Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue [FACIT-Fatigue], Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI], and Brief Symptom Inventory [BSI]-18) were administered 3 times during a 10-week waitlist control period, 3 times during a 10-week (20-session) neurofeedback training regimen, and once at 4 weeks postneurofeedback. Results. All 23 participants completed the study, demonstrating the feasibility of EEG biofeedback in this population. Initially, the sample demonstrated significant dysfunction on all measures compared with general population norms. Repeated-measures ANOVAs revealed strongly significant improvements (P < .001) on all 4 cognitive measures (perceived cognitive impairment, comments from others, perceived cognitive abilities, and impact on quality of life [QOL]), the fatigue scale, and the 4 psychological scales (somatization, depression, anxiety and global severity index) as well as on 3 of 8 sleep scales (quality, daytime dysfunction, and global). Two of the other sleep scales (latency and disturbance) were significant at P < .01, and 1 (use of medication) at P < .05; 2 were not significant. Improvements were generally linear across the course of training, and were maintained at the follow-up testing. At the follow-up testing, the sample no longer differed significantly from normative populations on 3 of the 4 FACT-Cog measures (impairment, impact on QOL, and comments), FACIT-Fatigue, PSQI sleep quality and habitual efficiency, or any of the BSI-18 measures of psychological disturbance. Conclusions. Data from this limited study suggest that EEG biofeedback has potential for reducing the negative cognitive and emotional sequelae of cancer treatment as well as improving fatigue and sleep patterns.

Kelley was her recognition that the neuroscience underlying basic learning and motivation processes also shed significant light upon mechanisms underlying drug addiction and maladaptive eating patterns. In this review, we examine the parallels that exist in the neural pathways that process both food and drug reward, as determined by recent studies in animal models and human neuroimaging experiments. We discuss contemporary research that suggests that hyperphagia leading to obesity is associated with substantial neurochemical changes in the brain. These findings verify the relevance of reward pathways for promoting consumption of palatable, calorically dense foods, and lead to the important question of whether changes in reward circuitry in response to intake of such foods serve a causal role in the development and maintenance of some cases of obesity. Finally, we discuss the potential value for future studies at the intersection of the obesity epidemic and the neuroscience of motivation, as well as the potential concerns that arise from viewing excessive food intake as an "addiction". We suggest that it might be more useful to focus on overeating that results in frank obesity, and multiple health, interpersonal, and occupational negative consequences as a form of food "abuse".

However, considering high rates of PTSD in the present veteran population, ongoing research work is important toward improving treatment efficiency by decreasing time to symptom amelioration and increasing the amount of symptom amelioration. The proposed research aims to enhance exposure therapy outcomes for veterans with PTSD via combination treatment with PE and yohimbine hydrochloride (HCL), an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist. The proposed investigation entails a randomized, placebo-controlled trial investigating the effect of a single administration of,yohimbine HCL (paired with the first session of imaginal exposure) on outcome of PE in 40 veterans with PTSD. An additional goal is to establish a pragmatic method of tracking psychophysiological measures over the course of therapy for incorporation into future clinical psychotherapy trials. Thus, in addition to traditional self- and clinician-reported psychological outcomes, heart rate and skin conductance reactivity will be measured during a standard trauma-specific imagery task before, during, and after PE treatment. We will further investigate whether changes in psychophysiological measures predict changes in patient- and clinician-reported outcome measures. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Method: Subjects (N = 232; 69.4% male; ages 9-69 years) with Tourette syndrome or chronic tic disorder participated in one of two 10-week, randomized controlled trials comparing behavioral treatment to supportive therapy. The YGTSS and CGI-I were rated by clinicians blind to treatment assignment We examined the percent reduction in the YGTSS-Total Tic Score (TTS) against Much Improved or Very Much Improved on the CGI-I, computed a signal detection analysis (SDA) and built a mixture model to classify dimensional response based on the change in the YGTSS-TTS. Results: A 25% decrease on the YGTSS-TTS predicted positive response on the CGI-I during the trial. The SDA showed that a 25% reduction in the YGTSS-TI'S provided optimal sensitivity (87%) and specificity (84%) for predicting positive response. Using a mixture model without consideration of the CGI-I, the dimensional response was defined by 23% (or greater) reduction on the YGTSS-TTS. Theodds ratio (OR) of positive response (OR = 5.68,95% CI = [2.99, 10.78]) on the CGI-I for behavioral intervention was greater than the dimensional response (OR = 2.86, 95% Cl = [1.65, 4.99]). Conclusion: A 25% reduction on the YGTSS-TTS is highly predictive of positive response by all three analytic methods. For trained raters, however, tic severity alone does not drive the classification of positive response. Clinicaltrials.gov identifiers: NCT00218777; NCT00231985. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

TI Design and baseline data from the Management of Sadness and Anxiety in Cardiology (MOSAIC) randomized controlled trial SO CONTEMPORARY CLINICAL TRIALS LA English DT Article DE Collaborative care; Depression; Anxiety; Coronary artery disease; Heart failure; Arrhythmia ID CORONARY-HEART-DISEASE; COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL; PERSISTENT DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS; DISORDER SEVERITY SCALE; ACTIVITY STATUS INDEX; POST-CABG DEPRESSION; COLLABORATIVE CARE; PANIC DISORDER AB Background: Depression and anxiety in cardiac patients are independently associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including mortality. Collaborative care (CC) programs, which use care managers to assess patients, coordinate care, and perform therapeutic interventions, have proven effective in managing depression in this population. However, no prior CC intervention has simultaneously managed depression and anxiety disorders, and there has been minimal study of CC in high-risk cardiac inpatients. Materials and methods: The Management of Sadness and Anxiety in Cardiology (MOSAIC) study was a prospective randomized trial of a low-intensity CC intervention, compared to enhanced usual care, for patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, or arrhythmia, and diagnosed with depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), or panic disorder (PD). The primary outcome measure for MOSAIC was mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL), measured using the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-12. Additional outcomes included psychological, functional, and medical outcomes, including rehospitalizations. Results: A total of 183 eligible participants were enrolled (92 collaborative care, 91 enhanced usual care); 94% of depressed patients reported being depressed for >1 month, and 53% of those with GAD reported clinically significant anxiety for >1 year. One hundred thirty-three patients had depression, 118 had GAD, and 19 had PD; 74 participants (40%) had two or more of the disorders. Conclusion: The MOSAIC trial will provide data regarding whether an intervention that concurrently manages these common psychiatric disorders results in meaningful improvements in HRQoL, psychiatric symptoms, and medical outcomes in cardiac patients at high risk for adverse outcomes.

The present study evaluated the short-term and long-term results of percutaneous and surgical revascularisation in diabetic patients with ULMCA disease in a large population. Methods and results: A total of 826 diabetic patients with ULMCA stenosis who received DES (n=520) or underwent CABG (n=306) were selected and analysed from the DELTA registry. In-hospital MACCE was significantly higher in the CABG group, mainly driven by a higher incidence of MI. At four-year follow-up, freedom from death and the composite endpoint of death, MI and cerebrovascular accident (CVA) was similar in the two treatment groups (CABG 87.4%, PCI 82.5%, p=0.124, and CABG 85.4%, PCI 78.9%, p=0.11, respectively). Conversely, freedom from TVR and MACCE was significantly higher in the CABG compared to the PCI group (CABG 95.4%, PCI 79.4%, p<0.001, and CABG 81.9%, PCI 64.7%, p<0.001). Conclusions: In diabetic patients with ULMCA disease with/without concomitant multivessel disease, PCI and CABG led to similar results in terms of death, MI and CVA. However, CABG was associated with less MACCE at long-term follow-up, primarily due to the higher repeat revascularisation rate with DES.

The meta-analysis involved 10 randomized controlled clinical trials with a total sample size of 17,636 and 17,947 for the potassium and glucose arms respectively. The random effect model was used to calculate the odds ratio with 95 percent confidence interval. The cumulative mean change of fasting plasma glucose was +0.20 mmol/L (+3.6 mg/dL) for the diuretic arm versus +0.12 mmol/L (+2.2 mg/dL) for the comparator arm The cumulative mean change of serum potassium was -0.22 mmol/L (-0.22 mEq/L) for the diuretic arm versus +0.05 mmol/L (+0.05 mEq/L) for the comparator arm. The aggregate odds ratio for having higher fasting plasma glucose in subjects on low-dose thiazide versus non-thiazide antihypertensive was 1.22 (1.11 to 1.33; P < .01). The odds ratio for having a lower serum potassium in subjects on low-dose thiazide versus non-thiazide antihypertensive was 0.36 (0.27 to 0.49; P < .01). The magnitude of the observed change in fasting plasma glucose associated with low-dose thiazide diuretic use, while statistically significant, does not appear to place patients at clinically significant risk. On the other hand, the observed change in serum potassium was also statistically significant, and may be clinically significant in patients whose baseline potassium concentration is low or low-normal, and could predispose at-risk patients, such as those with ischemic heart disease, to ventricular arrhythmias.

TOMATO; DEPENDENT CELL-DEATH; PSEUDOMONAS-SYRINGAE; SALICYLIC-ACID; DEFENSE RESPONSES; JASMONIC ACID; ACQUIRED-RESISTANCE; DISEASE RESISTANCE; PLANT DEFENSES; NICOTIANA-ATTENUATA AB Multicellular eukaryotic organisms are attacked by numerous parasites from diverse phyla, often simultaneously or sequentially. An outstanding question in these interactions is how hosts integrate signals induced by the attack of different parasites. We used a model system comprised of the plant host Arabidopsis thaliana, the hemibiotrophic bacterial phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae, and herbivorous larvae of the moth Trichoplusia ni (cabbage looper) to characterize mechanisms involved in systemic-induced susceptibility (SIS) to T. ni herbivory caused by prior infection by virulent P. syringae. We uncovered a complex multilayered induction mechanism for SIS to herbivory. In this mechanism, antiherbivore defenses that depend on signaling via (1) the jasmonic acid-isoleucine conjugate (JA-Ile) and (2) other octadecanoids are suppressed by microbe-associated molecular pattern-triggered salicylic acid (SA) signaling and infection-triggered ethylene signaling, respectively. SIS to herbivory is, in turn, counteracted by a combination of the bacterial JA-Ile mimic coronatine and type III virulence-associated effectors. Our results show that SIS to herbivory involves more than antagonistic signaling between SA and JA-Ile and provide insight into the unexpectedly complex mechanisms behind a seemingly simple trade-off in plant defense against multiple enemies.

TI Homelessness, cigarette smoking and desire to quit: results from a US national study SO ADDICTION LA English DT Article DE Homeless persons; smoking cessation; tobacco use ID SERIOUS MENTAL-ILLNESS; UNITED-STATES; SOCIOECONOMIC-STATUS; RISK-FACTORS; NICOTINE DEPENDENCE; HEALTH-CARE; TOBACCO USE; LOS-ANGELES; INNER-CITY; POPULATION AB AimsWe determined whether or not homelessness is associated with cigarette smoking independent of other socio-economic measures and behavioral health factors, and whether homeless smokers differ from non-homeless smokers in their desire to quit. Design, setting and participantsWe analyzed data from 2678 adult respondents to the 2009 Health Center Patient Survey, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of homeless and non-homeless individuals using US federally funded community health centers. MeasurementsWe used multivariable logistic regression to examine the association between homelessness and (i) current cigarette smoking among all adults, and (ii) past-year desire to quit among current smokers, adjusting for demographic, socio-economic and behavioral health characteristics. FindingsAdults with any history of homelessness were more likely than never homeless respondents to be current smokers (57 versus 27%, P<0.001). In multivariable models, a history of homelessness was associated independently with current smoking [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.09; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.49-2.93], even after adjusting for age, sex, race, veteran status, insurance, education, employment, income, mental illness and alcohol and drug abuse. Housing status was not associated significantly with past-year desire to stop smoking in unadjusted (P=0.26) or adjusted (P=0.60) analyses; 84% of currently homeless, 89% of formerly homeless and 82% of never homeless smokers reported wanting to quit. ConclusionsAmong patients of US health centers, a history of homelessness doubles the odds of being a current smoker independent of other socio-economic factors and behavioral health conditions. However, homeless smokers do not differ from non-homeless smokers in their desire to quit and should be offered effective interventions.

TI Amphotericin B Increases Influenza A Virus Infection by Preventing IFITM3-Mediated Restriction SO CELL REPORTS LA English DT Article ID POLYENE MACROLIDE ANTIBIOTICS; WEST NILE VIRUS; DENGUE VIRUS; ENDOPLASMIC-RETICULUM; MEMBRANE-PROTEINS; SEMLIKI FOREST; IFITM PROTEINS; CELL-MEMBRANE; FUSION; DERIVATIVES AB The IFITMs inhibit influenza A virus (IAV) replication in vitro and in vivo. Here, we establish that the antimycotic heptaen, amphotericin B (AmphoB), prevents IFITM3-mediated restriction of IAV, thereby increasing viral replication. Consistent with its neutralization of IFITM3, a clinical preparation of AmphoB, AmBisome, reduces the majority of interferon's protective effect against IAV in vitro. Mechanistic studies reveal that IFITM1 decreases host-membrane fluidity, suggesting both a possible mechanism for IFITM-mediated restriction and its negation by AmphoB. Notably, we reveal that mice treated with AmBisome succumbed to a normally mild IAV infection, similar to animals deficient in Ifitm3. Therefore, patients receiving antifungal therapy with clinical preparations of AmphoB may be functionally immunocompromised and thus more vulnerable to influenza, as well as other IFITM3-restricted viral infections.

TI Preventing Depressive Relapse and Recurrence in Higher-Risk Cognitive Therapy Responders A Randomized Trial of Continuation Phase Cognitive Therapy, Fluoxetine, or Matched Pill Placebo SO JAMA PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article ID MAJOR DEPRESSION; BEHAVIOR-THERAPY; FOLLOW-UP; ANTIDEPRESSANT MEDICATION; DISORDER; DESIGN; OUTPATIENTS; ACTIVATION; REMISSION; PHYSICIAN AB IMPORTANCE Strategies to improve the course of recurrent major depressive disorder have great public health relevance. To reduce the risk of relapse/recurrence after acute phase cognitive therapy (CT), a continuation phase model of therapy may improve outcomes. OBJECTIVES To test the efficacy of continuation phase CT (C-CT) and fluoxetine for relapse prevention in a pill placebo (PBO)-controlled randomized trial and compare the durability of prophylaxis after discontinuation of treatments. DESIGN A sequential, 3-stage design with an acute phase (all patients received 12 weeks of CT); 8-month experimental phase (responders at higher risk were randomized to C-CT, fluoxetine, or PBO); and 24 months of longitudinal, posttreatment follow-up. SETTING Two university-based specialty clinics. PATIENTS A total of 523 adults with recurrent major depressive disorder began acute phase CT, of which 241 higher-risk responders were randomized and 181 subsequently entered the follow-up. INTERVENTIONS Cognitive therapy responders at higher risk for relapse were randomized to receive 8 months of C-CT (n = 86), fluoxetine (n = 86), or PBO (n = 69). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Survival analyses of relapse/recurrence rates, as determined by blinded evaluators using DSM-IV criteria and the Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation. RESULTS As predicted, the C-CT or fluoxetine groups were significantly less likely to relapse than the PBO group across 8 months. Relapse/recurrence rates for C-CT and fluoxetine were nearly identical during the 8 months of treatment, although C-CT patients were more likely to accept randomization, stayed in treatment longer, and attended more sessions than those in the fluoxetine and PBO groups. Contrary to prediction, relapse/recurrence rates following the discontinuation of C-CT and fluoxetine did not differ. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Relapse risk was reduced by both C-CT and fluoxetine in an enriched randomization sampling only CT responders. The preventive effects of C-CT were not significantly more durable than those of fluoxetine after treatment was stopped, suggesting that some higher-risk patients may require alternate longer-term interventions.

The clinical implementation of this method necessitates the quantification of the laser parameters for ablating scarred tissue. Here, we present a comprehensive study of these parameters including ablation threshold and bubble lifetime in healthy and scarred tissues. We also present a new method for extracting tissue-specific ablation threshold and scattering lengths of different tissue layers. This method involves finding the ablation threshold at multiple depths and solving the equations based on Beer's law of light attenuation for each depth to estimate the unknown parameters. Measured threshold fluences were 1.75 J/cm(2) for vocal folds and 0.5 J/cm(2) for cheek pouches for 3-ps, 776nm laser pulses. Scarred pouches exhibited 30% lower threshold than healthy pouches, possibly due to the degraded mechanical properties of scarred collagen during wound healing. The analysis of tissue architecture indicated a direct correlation between the ablation threshold and tissue tensile strength and that the bubble lifetime is inversely related to tissue stiffness. Overall, this study sheds light on the required laser parameters for successful implementation of ultrafast laser ablation for phonosurgery.

Methods: A retrospective consecutive case series of patients with MPS and corneal clouding were analyzed at a tertiary eye hospital. A review of the English literature regarding MPS and DALK was performed. The main outcomes measures of the study were intraoperative surgical complications, change in visual acuity, and postoperative DALK-related complications. Results: Four eyes from 2 patients with MPS I (Hurler's syndrome and Hurler-Scheie syndrome) and a history of DALK met inclusion criteria for the case series. Using the "big-bubble" technique, DALK was performed successfully in all eyes. Completed Descemet's membrane baring was achieved in 3 or 4 eyes and a pre-Descemet's membrane dissection in 1 eye. The mean age at the time of DALK was 17.3 years (range: 15.4 to 19.5 years). Mean follow-up time after DALK was 16.7 months (range: 6 to 31 months). Mean visual acuity before DALK was 20/80 (0.59 +/- 0.12 logMAR). Mean visual acuity at the last visit for all 4 eyes was 20/50 (0.41 +/- 0.17 logMAR). Visual acuity improved in all eyes. Recurrence of MPS corneal clouding was not noted in any of the corneal grafts. Conclusions: DALK is a beneficial and preferable intervention in appropriate patients with significant corneal clouding due to MPS I. Improvement in vision can be obtained with stable, clear corneal grafts, although other ophthalmic manifestations may limit vision.

However, the functional relevance of ACME to infection and disease has remained unclear. Using phylogenetic analysis, we have shown that the modular segments of ACME were assembled into a single genetic locus in Staphylococcus epidermidis and then horizontally transferred to the common ancestor of USA300 strains in an extremely recent event. Acquisition of one ACME gene, speG, allowed USA300 strains to with-stand levels of polyamines (e. g., spermidine) produced in skin that are toxic to other closely related S. aureus strains. speG-mediated polyamine tolerance also enhanced biofilm formation, adherence to fibrinogen/fibronectin, and resistance to antibiotic and keratinocyte-mediated killing. We suggest that these properties gave USA300 a major selective advantage during skin infection and colonization, contributing to the extraordinary evolutionary success of this clone. IMPORTANCE Over the past 15 years, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a major public health problem. It is likely that adaptations in specific MRSA lineages (e. g., USA300) drove the spread of MRSA across the United States and allowed it to replace other, less-virulent S. aureus strains. We suggest that one major factor in the evolutionary success of MRSA may have been the acquisition of a gene (speG) that allows S. aureus to evade the toxicity of polyamines (e. g., spermidine and spermine) that are produced in human skin. Polyamine tolerance likely gave MRSA multiple fitness advantages, including the formation of more-robust biofilms, increased adherence to host tissues, and resistance to antibiotics and killing by human skin cells.

In this study, the authors provide the first objective comparison of two approaches to training IM residents in ultrasonography. MethodsIn this randomised trial, a simulation-based ultrasound training curriculum was implemented during IM intern orientation at a tertiary care teaching hospital. All 72 incoming interns attended a lecture and were given access to online modules. Interns were then randomly assigned to a 4-hour faculty-guided (FG) or self-guided (SG) ultrasound training session in a simulation laboratory with both human and manikin models. Interns were asked to self-assess their competence in ultrasonography and underwent an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) to assess their competence in basic and procedurally oriented ultrasound tasks. The primary outcome was the score on the OSCE. ResultsFaculty-guided training was superior to self-guided training based on the OSCE scores. Subjects in the FG training group achieved significantly higher OSCE scores on the two subsets of task completion (0.9-point difference, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.27-1.54; p=0.008) and ultrasound image quality (2.43-point difference, 95% CI 1.5-3.36; p<0.001). Both training groups demonstrated an increase in self-assessed competence after their respective training sessions and there was little difference between the groups. Subjects rated the FG training group much more favourably than the SG training group. ConclusionsBoth FG and SG ultrasound training curricula can improve the self-reported competence of IM interns in ultrasonography. However, FG training was superior to SG training in both skills acquisition and intern preference. Incorporating mandatory ultrasound training into IM residencies can address the perceived need for ultrasound training, improve confidence and procedural skills, and may enhance patient safety. However, the optimal training method may require significant faculty input.

Integration of functional and network information may help in overcoming this limitation and identifying new susceptibility loci. Using GWAS and comorbidity data, we present a network-based approach to predict candidate genes for lipid and lipoprotein traits. We apply a prediction pipeline incorporating interactome, co-expression, and comorbidity data to Global Lipids Genetics Consortium (GLGC) GWAS for four traits of interest, identifying phenotypically coherent modules. These modules provide insights regarding gene involvement in complex phenotypes with multiple susceptibility alleles and low effect sizes. To experimentally test our predictions, we selected four candidate genes and genotyped representative SNPs in the Malmo Diet and Cancer Cardiovascular Cohort. We found significant associations with LDL-C and total-cholesterol levels for a synonymous SNP (rs234706) in the cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) gene (p = 1 x 10(-5) and adjusted-p = 0.013, respectively). Further, liver samples taken from 206 patients revealed that patients with the minor allele of rs234706 had significant dysregulation of CBS (p = 0.04). Despite the known biological role of CBS in lipid metabolism, SNPs within the locus have not yet been identified in GWAS of lipoprotein traits. Thus, the GWAS-based Comorbidity Module (GCM) approach identifies candidate genes missed by GWAS studies, serving as a broadly applicable tool for the investigation of other complex disease phenotypes.

However, macaque MRI has unique technical differences relative to human MRI, such as the geometry of highly parallel receive arrays, which must be addressed to optimize imaging performance. A 22-channel receive coil array was constructed specifically for rapid high-resolution anesthetized macaque monkey MRI at 3 T. A local Helmholtz transmit coil was used for excitation. Signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and noise amplification for parallel imaging were compared with those of single- and four-channel receive coils routinely used for macaque MRI. The 22-channel coil yielded significant improvements in SNR throughout the brain. Using this coil, the SNR in peripheral brain was 2.4 and 1.7 times greater than that obtained with single- or four-channel coils, respectively. In the central brain, the SNR gain was 1.5 times that of both the single- and four-channel coils. Finally, the performance of the array for functional, anatomical and diffusion-weighted imaging was evaluated. For all three modalities, the use of the 22-channel array allowed for high-resolution and accelerated image acquisition. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Dramatic advances with next-generation sequencing have expanded its phenotypic variability and molecular heterogeneity. We review 39 patients including two new patients, one with compound heterozygous novel mutations in WDR35 and a previously unreported multisutural craniosynostosis that may be a part of Sensenbrenner syndrome. In 14 of 25 (56.0%) patients pathogenic mutations have been identified in 4 different genes that regulate (intraflagellar) cilia transport. We compared Sensenbrenner syndrome to asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy-Jeune syndrome (ATD-JS) and other ciliopathies. Our analyses showed that the high anterior hairline, forehead bossing and dolichocephaly (accompanied by sagittal craniosynostosis in more than half of the patients) occur in almost all patients with Sensenbrenner syndrome. Metaphyseal dysplasia with narrow thorax, proximal limb shortness, and short fingers are typical of Sensenbrenner syndrome and ATD-JS. Respiratory complications have been reported in both syndromes, usually less severe with Sensenbrenner syndrome. Proposed diagnostic criteria for Sensenbrenner syndrome include the distinctive craniofacial appearance, ubiquitous brachydactyly and ectodermal anomalies, and sagittal craniosynostosis. Mild heart defects have been noted, but there have been no atrioventricular canal or heterotaxy defects that are common in Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome. We anticipate that the steady identification of molecularly defined patients may allow correlation of phenotype and genotype. Additional natural history data will improve genetic counseling and current guidelines. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. C1 [Lin, Angela E.; Sahai, Inderneel] MassGen Hosp Children, Boston, MA USA.

Recent advances in low-cost, high-throughput DNA sequencing and computing technologies have enabled the rapid expansion of genetic test content, resulting in dramatically increased numbers of DNA variants identified per test. To address this challenge, our laboratory has developed a systematic approach to thorough and efficient assessments of variants for pathogenicity determination. We first search for existing data in publications and databases including internal, collaborative and public resources. We then perform full evidence-based assessments through statistical analyses of observations in the general population and disease cohorts, evaluation of experimental data from in vivo or in vitro studies, and computational predictions of potential impacts of each variant. Finally, we weigh all evidence to reach an overall conclusion on the potential for each variant to be disease causing. In this report, we highlight the principles of variant assessment, address the caveats and pitfalls, and provide examples to illustrate the process. By sharing our experience and providing a framework for variant assessment, including access to a freely available customizable tool, we hope to help move towards standardized and consistent approaches to variant assessment.

TI The effect of epilepsy surgery on caregiver quality of life SO EPILEPSY RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Caregiver; Quality of life; Burden; Epilepsy; Surgery; SF36v2 ID CHILDREN; IMPACT; HEALTH; ADULTS; ADOLESCENTS; PREVALENCE; OUTCOMES; PARENTS; BURDEN; DETERMINANTS AB Purpose: Epilepsy surgery has been shown to improve patient quality of life (QOL). Little is known about its effect on caregiver QOL. Methods: The study population comprised of 26 persons with epilepsy (PWE) who underwent long term video EEG monitoring at Massachusetts General Hospital for presurgical evaluation along with 16 caregivers. The PWE completed epilepsy directed QOL (QOLIE-31) and psychological (Beck depression-BDI and anxiety inventory-BAI) questionnaires before and after surgery. Their participating caregivers completed generic health related QOL (SF36v2) and disease burden (Zarit caregiver burden inventory-ZCBI) questionnaires before and after surgery. Demographic data for all participants and disease/surgery related data for the PWE were collected. Statistical analysis was performed to compare PWE and caregiver QOL before and after surgery. Results: Mean patient age was 37 years. Most (77%) suffered from symptomatic partial epilepsy for approximately 18 years prior to surgery, averaging 4 seizures per month and 2.2 antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). 78% of them underwent an anterior temporal lobectomy and the rest extra-temporal resections. On follow up at approximately 9 months, 69% had a surgical outcome of Engel class I, 23% of class II and 8% class IV. Postoperatively, the PWE remained on average on 1.9 AEDs. There was a statistically significant improvement for both the aggregate QOLIE-31 score and all its subscales (except for medication effects) as well as the BAI scores. 96% of the PWE felt that the decision to go through surgery was worthwhile. Mean caregivers age was 47 years. Half of them were spouses to the PWE and the majority of the rest their parents. 50% of them stated that their overall time devoted to patient's care decreased after surgery and 50% that it remained unchanged. The mental component scale (SF36v2, MCS) of caregiver QOL showed statistically significant improvement. ZCBI score and the physical component scale of their QOL (SF36v2, PCS) did not significantly vary before and after surgery. 75% of caregivers deemed their QOL better post surgery vs 19% similar. 94% of the caregivers felt that the decision to go through surgery was worthwhile. Conclusions: Successful epilepsy surgery has a positive impact not only to patient QOL but also to their caregiver. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first pilot study to systematically address the impact of epilepsy surgery on caregivers providing additional support to epilepsy surgery as the optimal treatment modality in carefully selected patients. These findings call for further investigation on the caregiver quality of life in epilepsy and for its inclusion in the treatment plan and quality indicators for epilepsy surgery.

Background Transcatheter PFO closure is commonly performed for several indications, including cryptogenic stroke, despite conflicting data regarding the efficacy of this intervention. Methods We report the outcomes of 800 consecutive patients (52% male, 50 +/- 14 years of age) who underwent PFO closure at our institution after multidisciplinary evaluation over a 16-year period. Results Indications for closure included cryptogenic cerebrovascular event (94%), hypoxemia (2%), peripheral embolism (3%), and migraine headaches (2%). Procedural success was 99% with effective closure obtained in 93% of patients. At a mean follow-up of 42.7 +/- 33.4 months, 21 patients suffered a recurrent ischemic neurologic event (12 strokes, and 9 transient ischemic attacks) for an incidence rate of 0.79 events per 100 person-years and freedom from recurrent events of 91.6% at 10 years. There was no device-based difference in the rate of recurrent ischemic neurologic events (p = 0.82). Only Eustachian valve prominence (hazard ratio: 9.04; 95% confidence interval: 2.07 to 39.44; p = 0.0034) was associated with recurrent neurologic events. Conclusions Transcatheter PFO closure is safe and feasible in patients with several clinical indications. The long-term efficacy of this intervention in patients with paradoxical embolism appears superb in this observational study. Carefully selected patients with features suggestive of paradoxical embolism are the most likely to benefit from PFO closure and should be the focus of future investigation.

Recent progress has been made in determining the underlying mechanisms through which different single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affect predisposition to cancer. Although there has been much debate about the clinical utility of GWASs, less attention has been paid to how GWASs and post-GWASs functional analysis have contributed to understanding the aetiology of cancer. Most common variants associated with cancer risk are localized in nonprotein-coding regions highlighting transcriptional regulation as a common theme in the mechanism of cancer predisposition. Here, we outline strategies to functionally dissect predisposition loci and discuss their limitations as well as challenges for future studies. C1 [Monteiro, A. N.

TI Congenital cholesteatoma in siblings SO JOURNAL OF LARYNGOLOGY AND OTOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Cholesteatoma; Pediatrics; Heredity ID PATHOGENESIS; EAR AB Introduction: The exact aetiology of congenital cholesteatoma, the less common form of this destructive disease, is still under debate. Case report: A two-year-old boy was referred to paediatric otolaryngology with persistent, bloody, left-sided otorrhoea refractory to oral and ototopical antibiotics. Prior to its onset at age 16months, all ear examinations on the affected side were normal. Physical examination, imaging with computed tomography and eventual tympanomastoidectomy revealed extensive cholesteatoma. The extent of the disease, age at onset of symptoms and absence of otological disease before initial presentation suggested the diagnosis of congenital cholesteatoma. Review of the family history revealed that the patient's older brother had undergone tympanomastoidectomy for a small, well-encapsulated, mesotympanic congenital cholesteatoma at two years of age. Discussion: This case joins a single, previous report describing congenital cholesteatoma in multiple family members, suggesting that in some cases, hereditary factors may play a role in the formation of the disease.

The Self-Management of Unpleasant Auditory Hallucinations Practice Model was developed to help psychiatric-mental health nurses in both inpatient and outpatient settings implement evidence-based nursing care for voice hearers who are distressed by unpleasant voices. The model's utility extends to nursing education, administration, and research. The model is comprised of three parts: (a) Assessment of Voice Hearer's Experience, (b) Nursing Interventions, and (c) Voice Hearer's Expected Positive Outcomes. These three parts of the model describe nursing assessments conducted with an interview guide and two self-report tools, nursing interventions that teach strategies to manage unpleasant AH in a 10-session course or individually, and evaluation of voice hearer outcomes with two self-report tools.

MethodsTo identify high-grade cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer, we developed claims-based algorithms that incorporated a combination of diagnosis and procedure codes using the billing data in an electronic medical records database and assessed the validity of the algorithms in an independent administrative claims database. We calculated the positive predictive value (PPV) with the 95% confidence interval (CI) of each algorithm, using new cytologic or pathologic diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or 3, carcinoma in situ, or cervical cancer as the gold standard. ResultsHaving 1 diagnosis code for high-grade cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer had a PPV of 57.1% (95%CI, 54.7-59.5%). By requiring 2 diagnoses for high-grade cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer, separated by 7-30days, the PPV increased to 60.2% (95%CI, 53.9-66.1%). At least two diagnoses and a procedure code within a month from the first diagnosis date yielded a PPV of 80.7% (95%CI, 73.6-86.2%). The algorithms had greater PPVs in identifying prevalent high-grade cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer. Overall, the PPVs of these algorithms were similar or slightly lower in the external claims data than in the sample used to derive the algorithms. ConclusionsUse of 2 diagnosis codes in combination with a procedure code appears to be a valid tool for studying high-grade cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer in both electronic medical record and administrative claims databases.

Methods: From 2000 to 2007, 500 consecutive patients in non-traumatic coma were prospectively enrolled, 200 of whom were post-cardiac arrest. Outcome was determined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 6 months, with mRS <= 3 indicating good outcome. The clinical examination was performed on days 0, 1, 3 and 7 post-arrest, and clinical variables analyzed for importance in prognostication of outcome. A classification and regression tree analysis (CART) was used to develop a predictive algorithm. Results: Good outcome was achieved in 9.9% of patients. In CART analysis, motor response was often chosen as a root node, and spontaneous eye movements, pupillary reflexes, eye opening and corneal reflexes were often chosen as splitting nodes. Over 8% of patients with absent or extensor motor response on day 3 achieved a good outcome, as did 2 patients with myoclonic status epilepticus. The odds of achieving a good outcome were lower in patients who suffered asystole (OR 0.187, 95% CI: 0.039-0.875, p = 0.033) compared with ventricular fibrillation or non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia, but some still achieved good outcome. The absence of pupillary and corneal reflexes on day 3 remained highly reliable for predicting poor outcome, regardless of therapeutic hypothermia utilization. Conclusion: The clinical examination remains central to prognostication in comatose cardiac arrest patients in the modern area. Future studies should incorporate the clinical examination along with modern technology for accurate prognostication. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

It is less clear that loss of PTEN also increases the risk of cancer mortality. We investigated the association between PTEN expression and prostate cancer mortality and the potential effect modification by IGF-IR, a direct activator of the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Methods: Protein expression in tumor was evaluated using tumor tissues obtained from 805 participants of the Physicians' Health and the Health Professionals Follow-up studies who were diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent radical prostatectomy. Proportional hazard models were used to assess PTEN expression and its interaction with IGF-IR, in relation to lethal prostate cancer (cancer-specific death or distant metastases). Results: Low PTEN expression was associated with an increased risk of lethal prostate cancer [ HR, 1.7; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.98-3.2; P-trend = 0.04]. The association was attenuated after adjustment for Gleason grade, tumor stage, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at diagnosis. A significant negative interaction between PTEN and IGF-IR was found (P-interaction = 0.03). Either reduction in PTEN or increase in IGF-IR expression was sufficient to worsen prognosis. Models including PTEN and IGF-IR expression offer additional predicting power to prostate cancer survival, compared to those only including demographic and clinical factors. Conclusions: Low PTEN protein expression significantly increases the risk of lethal prostate cancer, particularly when the IGF-IR expression remains at normal level. Impact: PTEN and IGF-IR expression in tumor are promising candidates for independent prognostic factors to predict lethal prostate cancer. (C) 2013 AACR.

TI Genetic Predictors of Circulating 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Risk of Colorectal Cancer SO CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY BIOMARKERS & PREVENTION LA English DT Article ID GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; VITAMIN-D-RECEPTOR; D-BINDING PROTEIN; COLON-CANCER; SUSCEPTIBILITY LOCI; ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS; CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTATION; METAANALYSIS; PREVENTION; GENOTYPE AB Background: Experimental evidence has demonstrated an antineoplastic role for vitamin D in the colon, and higher circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels are consistently associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer. Genome-wide association studies have identified loci associated with levels of circulating 25(OH)D. The identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from four gene regions collectively explain approximately 5% of the variance in circulating 25(OH)D. Methods: We investigated whether five polymorphisms in GC, CYP2R1, CYP24A1, and DHCR7/NADSYN1, genes previously shown to be associated with circulating 25(OH)D levels, were associated with colorectal cancer risk in 10,061 cases and 12,768 controls drawn from 13 studies included in the Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO) and Colon Cancer Family Registry (CCFR). We conducted a meta-analysis of crude and multivariate-adjusted logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios and associated confidence intervals for SNPs individually, SNPs simultaneously, and for a vitamin D additive genetic risk score (GRS). Results: We did not observe a statistically significant association between the 25(OH)D-associated SNPs and colorectal cancer marginally, conditionally, or as a GRS, or for colon or rectal cancer separately. Conclusions: Our findings do not support an association between SNPs associated with circulating 25(OH)D and risk of colorectal cancer. Additional work is warranted to investigate the complex relationship between 25 (OH)D and colorectal cancer risk. Impact: There was no association observed between genetic markers of circulating 25(OH)D and colorectal cancer. These genetic markers account for a small proportion of the variance in 25(OH)D.

We examined whether circulating concentrations are related to the development of kidney disease in the community. METHODS: Plasma GDF-15, sST2, and hsTnI concentrations were measured in 2614 Framingham Offspring cohort participants (mean age 57 years, 54% women) at the sixth examination cycle (1995-1998). Associations of biomarkers with incident chronic kidney disease [CKD, eGFR <60 mL . min(-1) . (1.73 m(2))(-1), n = 276], microalbuminuria (urinary albumin to creatinine ratio >= 25 mg/g in women and 17 mg/g in men, n = 191), and rapid decline in renal function [decline in eGFR >= 3 mL . min(-1) . (1.73 m(2))(-1) per year, n = 237], were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression; P < 0.006 was considered statistically significant in primary analyses. RESULTS: Participants were followed over a mean of 9.5 years. Higher plasma GDF-15 was associated with incident CKD [multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.9 per 1-U increase in log-GDF-15, 95% CI 1.6 -2.3, P < 0.0001] and rapid decline in renal function (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3-1.8; P < 0.0001). GDF-15, sST2, and hsTnI had suggestive associations with incident microalbuminuria but did not meet the prespecified P-value threshold after multivariable adjustment. Adding plasma GDF-15 to clinical covariates improved risk prediction of incident CKD: the c-statistic increased from 0.826 to 0.845 (P = 0.0007), and categorical net reclassification was 6.3% (95% CI, 2.7-9.9%). CONCLUSIONS: Higher circulating GDF-15 is associated with incident renal outcomes and improves risk prediction of incident CKD. These findings may provide insights into the mechanisms of renal injury.

METHODS: Using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry platform, we quantified 257 metabolites from archived plasma to evaluate metabolite interassay reproducibility, reproducibility with delayed processing, and within-person reproducibility over time. Interassay reproducibility was assessed with CVs from 60 duplicate plasma samples donated by participants in the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and 20 QC pool plasma replicates. Metabolite reproducibility over a 24- to 48-h processing delay (n = 48 samples) and within-person reproducibility over 1-2 years (n = 80 samples) were assessed using Spearman and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). RESULTS: CVs were <20% for 92% of metabolites and generally were similar by plasma anticoagulant type (heparin or EDTA) and fasting time. Approximately 75% of metabolites were reproducible over delays in processing of blood samples (Spearman correlation or ICC >= 0.75, comparing immediate and 24-h delayed processing). Carbohydrates and purine/pyrimidine derivatives were most adversely affected by the processing delay. Ninety percent of metabolites were reproducible over 1-2 years within individuals (Spearman correlation or ICC >= 0.4). CONCLUSIONS: For potential use in epidemiologic studies, the majority of plasma metabolites had low CVs and were reproducible over a 24-h processing delay and within individuals over 1-2 years. Certain metabolites, such as carbohydrates and purine/pyrimidine derivatives, may be challenging to evaluate if samples have delayed processing.

TI Attentional interference by threat and post-traumatic stress disorder: The role of thought control strategies SO COGNITION & EMOTION LA English DT Article DE Attention; PTSD; Information processing bias; Thought control; Thought suppression ID INDIVIDUAL-DIFFERENCES; CONTROL QUESTIONNAIRE; SOCIAL SUPPORT; SUPPRESSION; PTSD; DEPRESSION; PREDICTORS; ACCIDENTS; VALIDITY; ANXIETY AB Attentional interference by threat is associated with PTSD, but the mechanisms of this relationship remain unclear. Attentional interference might be related to increased use of maladaptive thought control strategies, such as suppressing unwanted thoughts (thought suppression) or replacing threatening thoughts with everyday concerns (worry), which increase PTSD risk. Conversely, attentional interference might be associated with reduced use of adaptive strategies, such as talking about threatening thoughts (social control), which decrease PTSD risk. This study tested if thought control strategies mediate the relationship between attentional interference and PTSD. Sixty-one male Vietnam-era veterans completed measures of PTSD symptoms and thought control strategies. Participants also completed a Visual Search Task measuring attentional interference, which required participants to identify a target letter string among a group of threat or neutral words. Attentional interference by threat was related to PTSD symptoms, and mediation analyses revealed significant indirect effects of attentional interference through thought suppression and worry. Attentional interference was related to re-experiencing and avoidance, but not hyperarousal, symptom clusters. Thought suppression was a unique mediator for re-experiencing, whereas thought suppression and worry both mediated the relationship with avoidance. These results offer evidence for maladaptive thought control strategies as a mechanism linking attentional biases for threat to PTSD.

TI Addition of Nitazoxanide to PEG-IFN and Ribavirin to Improve HCV Treatment Response in HIV-1 and HCV Genotype 1 Coinfected Persons Naive to HCV Therapy: Results of the ACTG A5269 Trial SO HIV CLINICAL TRIALS LA English DT Article DE genotype 1; hepatitis C; HIV; nitazoxanide; pegylated interferon; ribavirin ID CHRONIC HEPATITIS-C; HOMEOSTASIS MODEL ASSESSMENT; SIMPLE NONINVASIVE INDEX; VIROLOGICAL RESPONSE; SIGNIFICANT FIBROSIS; INSULIN-RESISTANCE; VIRUS; PROGRAM; PREDICT; PLASMA AB Background: We hypothesized that nitazoxanide (NTZ) added to pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG-IFN) and weight-based ribavirin (WBR) would improve hepatitis C virus (HCV) virologic responses in HCV treatment-nave HIV-1/HCV genotype 1 coinfected persons. Methods: Prospective, single-arm study in which subjects received 4-week lead-in (NTZ 500 mg twice daily) followed by 48 weeks of NTZ, PEG-IFN, and WBR. We compared the HCV virologic responses of these subjects to historical controls from the completed ACTG study A5178 who received PEG-IFN and WBR and had similar subject characteristics. Primary endpoints were early virologic response and complete early virologic response (EVR and cEVR). Results: Among 67 subjects (78% male; 48% Black; median age, 50 years), EVR was achieved in 65.7% (90% CI, 55.0%-75.3%), cEVR in 38.8% (28.8%-49.6%). and SVR in 32.8% (23.4%-43.5%). EVR was higher with NTZ (51.4% in A5178; P = .03), but the sustained virologic response (SVR) proportion was similar (27.3% in A5178; P = .24). In contrast to A5178, SVR was similar across IL28B genotypes. Overall, NTZ was safe and well-tolerated. Conclusion: Whereas EVR proportion improved significantly in this pilot study, the addition of NTZ to PEG-IFN/WBR did not significantly improve SVR compared to historical controls. NTZ may be associated with an attenuation of the effect of IL28B on HCV treatment response. C1 [Amorosa, Valerianna K.] Philadelphia Vet Affairs Med Ctr, Philadelphia, PA USA.

TI Serum autoantibodies to myelin peptides distinguish acute disseminated encephalomyelitis from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis SO MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Pediatric disease; multiple sclerosis; acute disseminated encephalomyelitis; myelin; autoantibody; differential diagnosis; biomarker; immunoglobulin; autoimmune disease; immunoassay ID OLIGODENDROCYTE GLYCOPROTEIN ANTIBODIES; DEMYELINATING DISEASES; INTERFERON-BETA; PROTEIN; ANTIGEN; MICROARRAYS; RESPONSES; AUTOIMMUNITY; AUTOANTIGEN; SIGNATURES AB Background and objective: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) share overlapping clinical, radiologic and laboratory features at onset. Because autoantibodies may contribute to the pathogenesis of both diseases, we sought to identify autoantibody biomarkers that are capable of distinguishing them. Methods: We used custom antigen arrays to profile anti-myelin-peptide autoantibodies in sera derived from individuals with pediatric ADEM (n = 15), pediatric multiple sclerosis (Ped MS; n = 11) and adult MS (n = 15). Using isotype-specific secondary antibodies, we profiled both IgG and IgM reactivities. We used Statistical Analysis of Microarrays software to confirm the differences in autoantibody reactivity profiles between ADEM and MS samples. We used Prediction Analysis of Microarrays software to generate and validate prediction algorithms, based on the autoantibody reactivity profiles. Results: ADEM was characterized by IgG autoantibodies targeting epitopes derived from myelin basic protein, proteolipid protein, myelin-associated oligodendrocyte basic glycoprotein, and alpha-B-crystallin. In contrast, MS was characterized by IgM autoantibodies targeting myelin basic protein, proteolipid protein, myelin-associated oligodendrocyte basic glycoprotein and oligodendrocyte-specific protein. We generated and validated prediction algorithms that distinguish ADEM serum (sensitivity 62-86%; specificity 56-79%) from MS serum (sensitivity 40-87%; specificity 62-86%) on the basis of combined IgG and IgM anti-myelin autoantibody reactivity to a small number of myelin peptides. Conclusions: Combined profiles of serum IgG and IgM autoantibodies identified myelin antigens that may be useful for distinguishing MS from ADEM. Further studies are required to establish clinical utility. Further biological assays are required to delineate the pathogenic potential of these antibodies.

Main duct (MD)-IPMN mostly consists of intestinal type (I-type), which expresses MUC2. Branch duct (BD)-IPMN mostly consists of gastric type (G-type), which does not express MUC2. However, the definition of mixed-type IPMN has yet to be clarified and it contains various histological types. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between MUC2 expression and the presence of high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive carcinoma, especially in mixed-type IPMN. Methods: This retrospective study included 101 consecutive patients with surgically resected IPMNs between April 2001 and October 2012. All patients were morphologically classified into four distinct types (I-type, G-type, PB-type: pancreatobilliary, O-type: oncocytic) and immunohistochemical reactivity of various anti-mucin antibodies were investigated. Results: According to the classification of the 2012 international guidelines, the numbers (and histomorphological types: I/G/PB/O) of MD, mixed-type, and BD-IPMNs were 16 (12/4/0/0), 45 (16/28/1/0), and 40 (0/38/1/1). Prevalence of MUC2 expression in MD, mixed-type, and BD-IPMNs were 75% (12/16), 36% (16/45), and 0% (0/40). In mixed-type IPMN, the prevalence of HGD and/or invasive carcinoma in MUC2-positive IPMN was significantly higher than that of MUC2-negative IPMN (HGD + invasive carcinoma: 88% vs. 38%, p = 0.0017; invasive carcinoma: 50% vs. 21%, p = 0.042). Multivariate analysis showed that MUC2 expression is an independent predictive factor of HGD and invasive carcinoma in mixed IPMN (odds ratio 14.6, 95% CI 2.5-87.4, p = 0.003). Conclusions: In mixed-type IPMN, MUC2 expression clearly identified HGD and invasive carcinoma and may provide most appropriate surgical indication. Copyright (C) 2013, IAP and EPC.

To account for the presence of noise, the feature extraction step is based on parameter estimation in noise where features are extracted from the noisy query image by modeling the magnitude and phase of complex subband coefficients of the clean image, and relating the model's parameters to the noisy coefficients. In addition to using only the magnitude or phase which is in the form of the relative phase, we incorporate both magnitude and phase information to further improve the accuracy rate. The simulation results show the retrieval rate improvement by estimating the clean parameters from the noisy query image instead of assuming that the query image is clean. Furthermore, using both magnitude and phase of complex coefficients improves the accuracy rate from using either magnitude or phase alone, and that using complex-valued wavelets yields higher rate than using real-valued wavelets.

TI Increased levels of anti-non-Gal IgG following pig-to-baboon bone marrow transplantation correlate with failure of engraftment SO XENOTRANSPLANTATION LA English DT Article DE antibody; anti-non-Gal; baboons; bone marrow; miniature swine; xenotransplantation ID NONLETHAL PREPARATIVE REGIMEN; GENE-KNOCKOUT PIGS; XENOGENEIC BARRIER; MEDIATED REJECTION; MIXED CHIMERISM; CELL TOLERANCE; SWINE; XENOTRANSPLANTATION; ANTIBODIES; DONOR AB BackgroundThe development of genetically modified pigs, which lack the expression of alpha 1-3 galactosyl transferase, (GalT-KO pigs) has facilitated the xenogeneic transplantation of porcine organs and tissues into primates by avoiding hyperacute rejection due to pre-existing antibodies against the Gal epitope. However, antibodies against other antigens (anti-non-Gal antibodies), are found at varying levels in the pre-transplant sera of most primates. We have previously found that baboons with high levels of pre-transplant anti-non-Gal IgG, conditioned with a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen, failed to engraft following pig-to-baboon bone marrow transplantation (Xenotransplantation, 17, 2010 and 300). Two baboons with low levels of pre-transplant anti-non-Gal IgG, conditioned with the same regimen, showed porcine bone marrow progenitors at 28days following transplantation, suggesting engraftment. These baboons also showed evidence of donor-specific hyporesponsiveness. This observation led us to investigate the hypothesis that selecting for baboon recipients with low pre-transplant anti-non-Gal IgG levels might improve engraftment levels following GalT-KO pig-to-baboon bone marrow transplantation. MethodsFive baboons, with low pre-transplant anti-non-Gal IgG levels, received transplantation of bone marrow cells (1-5x10(9)/kg of recipient weight) from GalT-KO pigs. They received a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen consisting of low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) (150cGy), thymic irradiation (700cGy), anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), and tacrolimus. In addition, two baboons received Rituximab and Bortezomib (Velcade) treatment as well as extra-corporeal immunoadsorption using GalT-KO pig livers. Bone marrow engraftment was assessed by porcine-specific PCR on colony forming units (CFU) of day 28 bone marrow aspirates. Anti-non-Gal antibody levels were assessed by serum binding toward GalT-KO PBMC using flow cytometry (FACS). Peripheral macro-chimerism was measured by FACS using pig and baboon-specific antibodies and baboon anti-pig cellular responses were assessed by mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR). ResultsAs previously reported, two of five baboons demonstrated detectable bone marrow engraftment at 4weeks after transplantation. Engraftment was associated with lack of an increase in anti-non-Gal IgG levels as well as cellular hyporesponsiveness toward pig. Three subsequent baboons with similarly low levels of pre-existing anti-non-Gal IgG showed no engraftment and an increase in anti-non-Gal IgG antibody levels following transplantation. Peripheral macrochimerism was only seen for a few days following transplantation regardless of antibody development. ConclusionsSelecting for baboon recipients with low levels of pre-transplant anti-non-Gal IgG did not ensure bone marrow engraftment. Failure to engraft was associated with an increase in anti-non-Gal IgG levels following transplantation. These results suggest that anti-non-Gal-IgG is likely involved in early bone marrow rejection and that successful strategies for combating anti-non-Gal IgG development may allow better engraftment. Since engraftment was only low and transient regardless of antibody development, innate immune, or species compatibility mechanisms will likely also need to be addressed to achieve long term engraftment.

The use of porcine ocular cells as putative xenotransplants appears theoretically possible. The aim of this study was to investigate the response of various porcine ocular cells in vitro to human cytokines in regard to the activation of JAK-STAT signaling pathways. MethodsPorcine lens epithelial cells, pigmented iris epithelial cells and pigmented ciliary body cells were used in this study. These cells were isolated from freshly enucleated porcine eyes by enzymatic digestion. Cultured cells between passages 3-8 were used in all experiments. Electromobility shift assay (EMSA), proliferation assay, immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway in these cells. ResultsJAK/STAT signaling pathways could be activated in porcine pigmented epithelial ciliary body cells, in pigmented iris epithelial cells and in lens epithelial cells in response to porcine and human interferons and cytokines. All cells showed very strong STAT1 activation upon stimulation with porcine interferon-gamma. Porcine ocular cells also respond to human cytokines; IFN-alpha induced strong activation of STAT1 in EMSA, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence experiments whereas activation of STAT3 was less strong in EMSA, but strong in flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Human recombinant IL-6 activated STAT3 and human IL-4 activated STAT6. With the help of immunofluorescence assay and flow cytometry we observed nuclear localization of STAT proteins after activation of porcine ocular cells with cytokines and interferons. Human IFN- had an inhibitory effect on porcine ocular cells in proliferation assays. ConclusionOur study demonstrated that some types of human cytokines and interferon activate intracellular JAK-STAT signaling pathways in porcine ocular cells. We hypothesize that direct stimulation of the JAK-STAT pathway in porcine cells in response to human cytokines will lead to complications or failure, if pig-to-human ocular tissue xenotransplantation were to be carried out. For successful xenotransplantation among other obstacles there must be new approaches developed to regulate signaling pathways.

TI The Association of Predeployment and Deployment-Related Factors on Dimensions of Postdeployment Wellness in US Military Service Members SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HEALTH PROMOTION LA English DT Article DE Wellness; Health Promotion; Military Personnel; Physical Fitness; Combat; Prevention Research ID POSTTRAUMATIC-STRESS-DISORDER; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; READJUSTMENT RATING-SCALE; HEALTH-CARE UTILIZATION; MILLENNIUM COHORT; MENTAL-HEALTH; GENDER-DIFFERENCES; CIGARETTE-SMOKING; PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES; LONGITUDINAL ASSESSMENT AB Purpose. To assess the effects of predeployment and deployment-related factors on dimensions of wellness following deployment. Design. Prospective longitudinal study. The dependent variable was dimensions of wellness. Independent variables were measured in terms of modifiable, nonmodifiable, and military factors, such as sex, race/ethnicity, service branch, smoking status, and combat experience. Setting. A large military cohort participating in the Millennium Cohort Study. Subjects. Included 10,228 participants who deployed in support of the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Measures. Dimensions of wellness were measured by using standardized instruments assessing self-reported physical health, mental health, and stress. Covariates were measured by using self-reported and electronic data. Analysis. Factors of postdeployment wellness were assessed by using ordinal logistic regression. Results. Most participants (78.7%) were categorized as "moderately well" post deployment. Significant modifiable predeployment predictors of postdeployment wellness included normal/underweight body mass index (odds ratio [OR] = 1.72, p < .05). Military factors significantly associated with wellness included not experiencing combat (OR = .56, p < .05), member of Air Force (OR = 2.02, p < .05) or Navy/Coast Guard (OR = 1.47, p < .05), and combat specialist occupation (OR = 1.22, p < .05). Conclusion. Multiple modifiable factors associated with postdeployment wellness were identified, which may help inform medical and military leadership on potential strategies to ensure a well force. Those trained in combat roles were more likely to be well post deployment though this apparent benefit was not conferred onto those reporting combat experiences.

Clinical practices vary widely among physicians around the world, often with little evidence to support current therapies. Methods: This study evaluates various medical and surgical treatments with a focus on the highest levels of evidence. Recommendations for various therapies are provided based on consensus panels and evidence-based reviews. Results: Therapies with the strongest evidence and recommendations for CRSwNPs include oral steroids and topical nasal steroid sprays. There is also reasonable evidence for surgery, to include perioperative oral steroids and postoperative oral antibiotics for at least 2 weeks. There is little evidence to support other therapies, including commonly used modalities such as oral antibiotics, antihistamines, and immunotherapy. Conclusion: CRSwNPs is a heterogenous disorder that currently has very few therapies supported by strong evidence. It is likely that in the near future, a more refined understanding of CRSwNPs will permit clinicians to tailor therapies using high-level evidence with improved outcomes.

TI Implementation of the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology Observations From the 2011 Thyroid Supplemental Questionnaire of the College of American Pathologists SO ARCHIVES OF PATHOLOGY & LABORATORY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID FINE-NEEDLE-ASPIRATION; CYTOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS; SCIENCE CONFERENCE; NODULES; STATE; CELLS; RISK; FNA AB Context.-Although information about the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) has been widely disseminated since its inception in 2007, the extent of its implementation and impact on daily practice has not been formally evaluated. Objectives.-To assess the extent of uptake of TBSRTC across pathology laboratories and to evaluate its impact on daily practice by collating participant responses to the 2011 supplemental thyroid questionnaire of the College of American Pathologists. Design.-A questionnaire was designed to gather information about various aspects of TBSRTC and mailed in June 2011 to 2063 laboratories participating in the College of American Pathologists cytopathology interlaboratory comparison program. The participating laboratories' answers were collated and summarized. Results.-Seven hundred and seventy-seven laboratories (37.6%) returned the survey. Although 60.9% (n = 451) and 17.1% (n = 127) of laboratories reported using TBSRTC or planning to use it in the near future, respectively, 22% (n = 163) had no plans to implement TBSRTC. Of the latter, 32% (n = 70) stated that they were unaware of this classification system. The majority (78.3%, n = 343) of the laboratories used TBSRTC as published in the Thyroid Bethesda System atlas, whereas 21.7% (n = 95) used it with minor modifications. Most reported that the use of TBSRTC had caused either no change (n = 67, 15.2%) or only minor changes (n = 353, 80.2%) in the terminology and diagnostic criteria previously used in their laboratories. Conclusions.-According to the collected data, TBSRTC is generally well implemented in pathology laboratories. However, because approximately a third of those not using this terminology are not aware of it, additional educational efforts regarding TBSRTC are warranted.

TI BerEp4, Cytokeratin 14, and Cytokeratin 17 Immunohistochemical Staining Aid in Differentiation of Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma From Basal Cell Carcinoma With Squamous Metaplasia SO ARCHIVES OF PATHOLOGY & LABORATORY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID HUMAN-PAPILLOMAVIRUS; FOLLICULAR DIFFERENTIATION; BASOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA; SKIN; HEAD; TRICHOBLASTOMA; RELIABILITY; EXPRESSION; DIAGNOSIS; BIOLOGY AB Context.-Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (bSCC) is an uncommon variant of squamous cell carcinoma, which may overlap histologically with basal cell carcinoma with squamous metaplasia (BCCm). Objective.-To aid in the differentiation of these neoplasms using immunohistochemical staining because of the worse prognosis associated with bSCC. Design.-Using immunohistochemical techniques, we investigated BerEp4, cytokeratin 17 (CK17), and cytokeratin 14 (CK14) protein expression in 25 cases of bSCC (8 cutaneous [32%], 12 aerodigestive tract [48%], and 5 lymph nodemetastases [20%]) and 43 cases of BCCm(39 cutaneous [91%], and 4 metastases [9%]). An immunoreactivity score was assigned using the percentage of tumor cells staining and the pattern of expression. Interobserver agreement for 2 independent pathologists was assessed using a kappa coefficient. Results.-The mean percentage of staining was significantly higher in BCCm, compared with bSCC (BerEp4, P = .006; CK17, P < .001; CK14, P < . 001; unpaired t test), with 58% of BCCm cases (25 of 43) displaying diffuse staining for all markers, and nearly all (98%; 42 of 43) displaying diffuse staining for CK17 and CK14. In contrast, no bSCC cases (0%) displayed diffuse staining for all 3 markers, and only 8% (2 of 25) displayed diffuse staining for CK17 and CK14. High interobserver agreement was determined. Conclusions.-BerEp4 alone is unreliable for differentiation between BCCm and bSCC, and the addition of either CK14 or CK17 will augment the sensitivity and negative predictive value of BerEp4 staining in BCCm and bSCC diagnosis.

Objective.-We sought to determine common elements in currently used analytic platforms for sentinel lymph nodes in melanoma patients. Design.-An electronic survey was distributed to 83 cancer centers in North America. Results.-Seventeen responses (20%) were received. The number of sentinel lymph node mapping procedures for melanoma ranged from less than 11 to more than 100 patients per year, with 72% of institutions mapping more than 50 melanoma patients a year. Uniform practices included (1) processing all of the lymph node tissue rather than submitting representative sections and (2) use of immunohistochemical stains if no tumor was identified on the hematoxylin-eosin-stained sections. Significant variability existed regarding the method of sectioning lymph nodes at grossing and in the histology laboratory; most bisected nodes longitudinally (94%) and performed deeper levels into the block (67%), but these were not uniform practices. S-100 was the most commonly used immunohistochemical stain (78%), followed by Melan-A (56%), MART-1 (50%), HMB-45 (44%), tyrosinase (33%), MiTF (11%), and pan-melanoma (6%). Conclusions.-There is a need for a standardized platform for detecting melanoma in sentinel lymph nodes. Current practices by a majority of laboratories and findings in the reported literature support the following: histologic evaluation of all lymph node tissue, use of immunohistochemical stains, bisecting lymph nodes longitudinally, and performing deeper levels into the tissue block.

It is an aggressive tumor typically occurring in the soft tissues of the extremities, with a gastrointestinal variant with less consistent melanocytic differentiation. It is extremely rare in the head and neck region, with no reported cases in the oral cavity. We report a case of an 82-year-old woman with a clear cell sarcoma arising in the tongue, with cervical lymph node metastases. Histologically, the tumor showed some features of gastrointestinal clear cell sarcoma. No osteoclast-type giant cells were present. The tumor cells were positive for S100 protein and negative for other melanocytic markers. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed rearrangements of EWSR1 and ATF1. This case expands the spectrum of clear cell sarcoma with a gastrointestinal-like variant in a novel site, emphasizing the need to consider it as a differential diagnosis to melanoma in mucosal sites.

Differences in addiction-related neurobiological systems, including learning and memory and circadian rhythms, may exist prior to developing addiction. We characterized the cognitive phenotypes and the free-running circadian period of mouse lines selectively bred for high methamphetamine (MA) drinking (MA high drinking or MAHDR) and low MA drinking (MA low drinking or MALDR). MA-naive MALDR mice showed spatial memory retention while MAHDR mice did not. MA-naive MAHDR mice had elevated hippocampal levels of the AMPA receptor subunits GluA2 (old terminology: GluR2), but not GluA1 (old terminology: GluR1). There were no line differences in the free running period (tau) when only water was available. During a 25 mg/L MA solution access period (vs water), there was an increase in tau in MALDR but not MAHDR mice, although MAHDR mice consumed significantly more MA. During a 50 mg/L MA solution access period (vs water), both lines showed an increased tau. There was a positive correlation between MA consumption and tau from baseline in MALDR, but not MAHDR, mice. Thus, a heritable proclivity for elevated MA self-administration may be associated with impairments in hippocampus-dependent memory and reduced sensitivity to effects of MA on lengthening of the circadian period.

Neuroimaging studies have shown increased activity of the amygdala of patients with PTSD. Objective/hypothesis: To investigate amygdala deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a possible novel treatment for PTSD and compare it to current treatment with a commonly used SSRI, paroxetine, in a rat PTSD model. Methods: A PTSD model was created by subjecting rats to inescapable foot shocks in the presence of a conspicuous ball. Response to treatment was measured as a decreased burying behavior when presented with the same ball 1 and 2 weeks after the shocks. Rats were treated with either daily intraperitoneal paroxetine injections or amygdala DBS via an electrode implanted 1 week prior to shocks. Generalized anxiety was assessed using an elevated plus maze. Results: Animals treated with amygdala DBS showed less ball burying at 2 weeks relative to the animals treated with paroxetine. The animals treated with paroxetine, however, had a lower general anxiety level compared to the DBS-treated group. Conclusions: In this PTSD model, paroxetine was found to decrease the measured general anxiety level of rats that underwent the PTSD protocol, but did not counteract shock-induced hyper-vigilance toward the trauma-associated object (ball). Amygdala DBS, however, did decrease shock-induced hyper-vigilance as measured by a lower burying time, but had no effect on general anxiety assessed in the elevated plus maze. By attenuating amygdala function, DBS may act to treat the cause of PTSD, hyperactive amygdala function, and may be a promising novel alternative in cases of PTSD refractory to current pharmacological treatments.

TI PET-Based Confirmation of Orientation Sensitivity of TMS-Induced Cortical Activation in Humans SO BRAIN STIMULATION LA English DT Article DE TMS; Cortex; PET; MRI; Orientation; Cerebral blood flow ID TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION; HUMAN MOTOR CORTEX; DORSOLATERAL PREFRONTAL CORTEX; SURFACE-BASED ANALYSIS; ELECTRIC-FIELD; BRAIN-STIMULATION; MECHANISMS; EXCITABILITY; MODULATION; EXCITATION AB Background: Currently, it is difficult to predict precise regions of cortical activation in response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Most analytical approaches focus on applied magnetic field strength in the target region as the primary factor, placing activation on the gyral crowns. However, imaging studies support M1 targets being typically located in the sulcal banks. Objective/hypothesis: To more thoroughly investigate this inconsistency, we sought to determine whether neocortical surface orientation was a critical determinant of regional activation. Methods: MR images were used to construct cortical and scalp surfaces for 18 subjects. The angle (theta) between the cortical surface normal and its nearest scalp normal for similar to 50,000 cortical points per subject was used to quantify cortical location (i.e., gyral vs. sulcal). TMS-induced activations of primary motor cortex (M1) were compared to brain activations recorded during a finger-tapping task using concurrent positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging. Results: Brain activations were primarily sulcal for both the TMS and task activations (P < 0.001 for both) compared to the overall cortical surface orientation. Also, the location of maximal blood flow in response to either TMS or finger-tapping correlated well using the cortical surface orientation angle or distance to scalp (P < 0.001 for both) as criteria for comparison between different neocortical activation modalities. Conclusion: This study provides further evidence that a major factor in cortical activation using TMS is the orientation of the cortical surface with respect to the induced electric field. The results show that, despite the gyral crown of the cortex being subjected to a larger magnetic field magnitude, the sulcal bank of M1 had larger cerebral blood flow (CBF) responses during TMS.

TI The Painfulness of Active, but not Sham, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Decreases Rapidly Over Time: Results From the Double-Blind Phase of the OPT-TMS Trial SO BRAIN STIMULATION LA English DT Article DE TMS; Transcranial magnetic stimulation; Pain; Depression; OPT-TMS; Clinical trial; Sham ID PREFRONTAL CORTEX; PAIN; DEPRESSION; MOOD; RTMS; THERAPY AB Background: Daily left prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over several weeks is an FDA approved treatment for major depression. Although rTMS is generally safe when administered using the FDA guidelines, there are a number of side effects that can make it difficult for patients to complete a course of rTMS. Many patients report that rTMS is painful, although patients appear to accommodate to the initial painfulness. The reduction in pain is hypothesized to be due to prefrontal stimulation and is not solely explained by accommodation to the stimulation. Methods: In a recent 4 site randomized controlled trial (using an active electrical sham stimulation system) investigating the antidepressant effects of daily left dorsolateral prefrontal rTMS (Optimization of TMS, or OPT-TMS), the procedural painfulness of TMS was assessed before and after each treatment session. Computerized visual analog scale ratings were gathered before and after each TMS session in the OPT-TMS trial. Stimulation was delivered with an iron core figure-8 coil (Neuronetics) with the following parameters: 10 Hz, 120% MT (EMG-defined), 4 s pulse train, 26 s inter-train interval, 3000 pulses per session, one 37.5 min session per day. After each session, procedural pain (pain at the beginning of the TMS session, pain toward the middle, and pain toward then end of the session) ratings were collected at all 4 sites. From the 199 patients randomized, we had usable data from 142 subjects for the initial 15 TMS sessions (double-blind phase) delivered over 3 weeks (142 x 2 x 15 = 4260 rating sessions). Results: The painfulness of real TMS was initially higher than that of the active sham condition. Over the 15 treatment sessions, subjective reports of the painfulness of rTMS (during the beginning, middle and end of the session) decreased significantly 37% from baseline in those receiving active TMS, with no change in painfulness in those receiving sham. This reduction, although greatest in the first few days, continued steadily over the 3 weeks. Overall, there was a decay rate of 1.56 VAS points per session in subjective painfulness of the procedure in those receiving active TMS. Discussion: The procedural pain of left, prefrontal rTMS decreases over time, independently of other emotional changes, and only in those receiving active TMS. These data suggest that actual TMS stimulation of prefrontal cortex maybe related to the reduction in pain, and that it is not a non-specific accommodation to pain. This painfulness reduction softly corresponds with later clinical outcome. Further work is needed to better understand this phenomenon and whether acute within-session or over time painfulness changes might be used as short-term biomarkers of antidepressant response.

Its pathogenesis is poorly understood, and therapeutic options are limited. Here, we show that SIRT7, an NAD(+)-dependent H3K18Ac deacetylase, functions at chromatin to suppress ER stress and prevent the development of fatty liver disease. SIRT7 is induced upon ER stress and is stabilized at the promoters of ribosomal proteins through its interaction with the transcription factor Myc to silence gene expression and to relieve ER stress. SIRT7-deficient mice develop chronic hepatosteatosis resembling human fatty liver disease. Myc inactivation or pharmacological suppression of ER stress alleviates fatty liver caused by SIRT7 deficiency. Importantly, SIRT7 suppresses ER stress and reverts the fatty liver disease in diet-induced obese mice. Our study identifies SIRT7 as a cofactor of Myc for transcriptional repression and delineates a druggable regulatory branch of the ER stress response that prevents and reverts fatty liver disease.

TI Long-term seizure outcomes following resection of supratentorial cavernous malformations SO CLINICAL NEUROLOGY AND NEUROSURGERY LA English DT Article DE Seizure; Cavernous malformation; Surgery; Epilepsy; Multivariate analysis ID NATURAL-HISTORY; EPILEPSY SURGERY; TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS; CLINICAL ARTICLE; NERVOUS-SYSTEM; ANGIOMAS; CHILDREN; SERIES; LESIONECTOMY; HEMANGIOMAS AB Objective: Symptomatic supratentorial cavernous malformations may present with seizure, headache, neurological deficit, or a combination thereof. Factors that contribute to treatment algorithms commonly include patient age, lesion size and location, lesion multiplicity, hemorrhage history, and the ability to control seizure activity with medication. A better appreciation of the impact of patient and lesion characteristics on post-operative seizure control may provide insight into management strategies. To determine long-term seizure outcomes following surgical resection of supratentorial cavernous malformations, the predictive value of characteristics including seizure duration and number, presence of generalized seizures, and lesion multiplicity and size on seizure control rate was evaluated. Methods: We performed a single institution retrospective review of consecutive patients with supratentorial cavernous malformations presenting with at least one seizure between 1995 and 2008. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the influence of patient and lesion characteristics on postoperative seizure control. Results: Fifty-six patients met inclusion criteria. Mean follow-up duration was 87.9 months. At last follow-up there were 46 patients (82.1%) that were free from impairing seizures (Engel Class 1). Ten patients (17.9%) were classified as Engel Class 2-4. Univariate analysis demonstrated that only the presence of multiple cavernomas was associated with worse post-operative seizure outcome (p = 0.006). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that multiple cavernomas remained a significant predictor for development of worse seizure outcome controlling for number and duration of seizures prior to operation, presence of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and size (odds ratio, 0.17; 95% confidence interval, 0.03, 0.99). Conclusion: Resection of supratentorial cavernomas is associated with a high rate of postoperative seizure freedom. The presence of multiple cavernomas is predictive of seizure persistence following surgery. Published by Elsevier B.V. C1 Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Dept Neurosurg, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

Clinical trials have demonstrated modest therapeutic efficacy of traditional Chinese acupuncture for knee OA pain, and patients with advanced disease have largely been excluded. We have previously demonstrated preliminary short-term tolerability and efficacy of periosteal stimulation therapy (PST) (ie, electrical stimulation of the periosteum facilitated by acupuncture needles) for older adults with advanced knee OA. Objective: This study evaluated the sustained efficacy of PST and boosters for treating chronic pain with advanced knee OA. Methods: One hundred ninety participants age >50 years with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 or 4 knee OA and chronic pain were randomized to (1) PST (once a week for 10 weeks) followed by PST boosters for 6 months (once every 2 weeks 2 times, then once a month), (2) control PST (ie, periosteal needles and brief electrical stimulation of control points) once a week for 10 weeks, or (3) PST for 10 weeks followed by control PST boosters for 6 months. Change in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain score immediately after the 10-week intervention and at 6-month follow-up (9 months after baseline) was the primary outcome. OMERACT-OARSI (Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials Osteoarthritis Research Society International) criteria also were evaluated. Secondary measures of outcome included (1) physical performance (Short Physical Performance Battery, gait speed, Timed Up and Go, and timed stair climb); (2) psychological factors (depressive symptoms measured with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale, coping measured with the catastrophizing subscale of the Coping Strategies Questionnaire, and self-efficacy measured with the Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale); (3) health-related quality of life measured with the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey; (4) rescue pain medication use tracked with diaries; and (5) health care utilization and interim physical activity were monitored via monthly telephone calls. Results: After adjustment for pain at baseline, the PST and control booster did not differ from controls at 10 weeks (difference, 1.3; 95% CI, -0.10 to 2.8; P = 0.0683) or 9 months (difference, 1.1; 95% CI, -0.32 to 2.6; P = 0.13). The PST and PST booster group had similar improvement compared with controls at 10 weeks (baseline adjusted difference, 1.1; 95% CI, -0.34 to 2.5; P = 0.1369) but significantly more improvement at 9 months (baseline adjusted difference, 1.5; 95% CI, 0.069 to 3.0; P = 0.0401). Baseline depressive symptoms, low self-efficacy, higher difficulty performing daily activities, and greater knee stiffness predicted a lower likelihood of response. Conclusion: PST plus PST boosters in patients age >50 with advanced knee OA were well-tolerated and modestly reduced pain. Published by Elsevier HS Journals, Inc.

There is documented widespread human exposure to parabens, and some experimental data suggest that they act as estrogenic endocrine disruptors. As far as we are aware, no epidemiologic studies have assessed female reproductive health effects in relation to paraben exposure. OBJECTIVE: We examined the association of urinary paraben concentrations with markers of ovarian reserve in a prospective cohort study of women seeking fertility treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts. METHODS: Measures of ovarian reserve were day-3 follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), antral follicle count (AFC), and ovarian volume. Paraben concentrations [methyl-paraben (MP), propylparaben (PP), and butyl-paraben (BP)] were measured in spot urine samples collected prior to the assessment of outcome measures. We used linear and Poisson regression models to estimate associations of urinary paraben concentrations (in tertiles) with ovarian reserve measures. RESULTS: Of the women enrolled in 2004-2010, 192 had at least one ovarian reserve outcome measured (mean age +/- SD, 36.1 +/- 4.5 years; range, 21.0-46.7 years). MP and PP were detected in > 99% of urine samples and BP in > 75%. We found a suggestive trend of lower AFC with increasing urinary PP tertiles [mean percent change (95% CI) for tertiles 2 and 3 compared with tertile 1, respectively, were -5.0% (-23.7, 18.4) and -16.3% (-30.8, 1.3); trend p-value (p(trend)) = 0.07] as well as higher day-3 FSH with higher urinary PP tertiles [mean change (95% CI) for tertiles 2 and 3 compared with tertile 1 were 1.16 IU/L (-0.26, 2.57) and 1.02 IU/L (-0.40, 2.43); p(trend) = 0.16]. We found no consistent evidence of associations between urinary MP or BP and day-3 FSH or AFC, or between urinary MP, PP, or BP and ovarian volume. CONCLUSIONS: PP may be associated with diminished ovarian reserve. However, our results require confirmation in further studies.

TI Detection and Perceptual Impact of Side-to-Side Facial Movement Asymmetry SO JAMA FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY LA English DT Article ID PARALYSIS; FACE; REANIMATION; EXPRESSION; MOTION; NERVE; SYMMETRY; EMOTION; SMILE AB IMPORTANCE In this study, we examined whether specific facial movements have different time-delay detection thresholds, and to what extent such side-to-side facial movement asymmetry affects subjective ratings of movement naturalness. Ratings of dynamic asymmetry in experimentally manipulated video recordings demonstrate that there are different side-to-side time-delay thresholds for distinct regions of the face, with a strong inverse correlation between naturalness rating and the length-of-time delay. These findings will be helpful for counseling patients with unilateral facial paralysis and guide the design of neural interfaces for facial reanimation. OBJECTIVE To determine the detection threshold of side-to-side facial movement timing asymmetry and measure its effect on perceived movement naturalness. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Videos of 5 symmetrical facial movements (eye blink, rapid eyebrow raising, slow eyebrow raising, smiling, and lip depression) were edited to introduce 6 levels of side-to-side timing asymmetry, ranging from 33 to 267 milliseconds. Participants (N = 58) viewed video clips through an online survey service, indicating whether they noticed side-to-side asymmetry and judging movement naturalness on a 5-point scale. RESULTS There was a significant difference among facial movements in asymmetry detection threshold. There was a strong correlation between naturalness ratings and amount of delay across movements (R = 0.823), with greater asymmetry being judged as progressively less natural. Blink was judged as less natural at 33, 67, 100, and 133 milliseconds of side-to-side delay compared with all other movements (P < .005). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Side-to-side asymmetry in blink timing is detected sooner and viewed as less natural compared with asymmetry of the eyebrow and lips. At 100 milliseconds of delay, nearly all movements are detected as asymmetric, although blink is judged as the least natural. These findings will help set timing goals for facial pacing technologies treating unilateral paralysis.

TI Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Cognitive Function: Findings From the Mind Your Heart Study SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article ID ADMINISTERED PTSD SCALE; DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS; ALZHEIMERS-DISEASE; SLEEP QUALITY; OLDER-ADULTS; PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES; HEALTH BEHAVIORS; CATEGORY FLUENCY; RISK-FACTORS; US VETERANS AB Objective: Prior studies have found that the patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have poorer performance on cognitive tests than patients without PTSD, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We examined the association between PTSD and cognitive function in a large cohort and evaluated the role of potential biological and behavioral mediators. Method: A cohort of 535 adult outpatients (<= 65 years) without dementia, stroke, or other neurologic disorders was recruited from 2 Veterans Affairs medical centers between February 2008 and June 2010. PTSD was assessed with the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) using DSM-IV-TR criteria. Cognitive function tests included processing speed, Trails A and B, letter fluency, category fluency, and verbal learning and recognition. Linear regression was used to evaluate the association between PTSD and cognitive function test scores and to assess potential mediators of the association. Results: For our analyses of PTSD and cognitive function, we combined 178 participants who met criteria for full PTSD and 18 who met criteria for partial PTSD and had a CAPS score > 40. After adjusting for demographics, these participants with PTSD scored significantly worse on processing speed (0.30 standard deviations [SDs], P <=.001), category fluency (0.23 SDs, P=.01), verbal learning (0.30 SDs, P=.001), and verbal recognition (0.18 SDs, P=.048) than those without PTSD. These associations were largely accounted for by health behaviors, vascular risk factors, and depression. Conclusions: In this cohort of veterans under age 65 years without known neurologic disease, patients with versus without PTSD had significantly poorer performance in several domains of cognitive function, particularly in tests involving processing speed, executive function, and learning. These cognitive deficits were largely explained by modifiable risk factors. Interventions targeted at these risk factors might minimize the impact of PTSD on cognitive decline and dementia risk as patients age. (C) Copyright 2013 Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc.

This article reports on Partnership for Health-2 (PFH-2)-an effort to develop an effective and scalable version of Partnership for Health (PFH), which was a previously tested peer-delivered telephone counseling program that doubled smoking cessation rates among childhood cancer survivors who smoke. Objective: This paper presents results from a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of PFH-2 in targeted and tailored Web-based versus print formats. The overall goal was to determine whether the intervention outcomes in these self-guided scalable formats approximate what was found in a more intensive telephone counseling program. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial with a 15-month follow-up that included 374 smokers who were survivors of childhood or young adult cancers, recruited from five survivorship clinics. Participants were randomly assigned to a Web-based or print format of the PFH intervention; all had access to free pharmacotherapy. The website was designed to provide new content at each log-on, and a peer counselor moderated a forum/chat feature. The primary outcome was smoking status at 15 months post randomization. Results: In total, 58.3% (77/132) of Web participants logged on at least once (mean visits 3.25). Using multiple imputation methods for missing data, there were similar rates of cessation in the two arms (print: 20/128, 15.6%; Web: 33/201, 6.4%), and no differences in quit attempts or readiness to quit. The quit rates were equivalent to those found in our previous telephone counseling intervention. There were high rates of satisfaction with both of the PFH-2 interventions. Conclusions: The print and Web formats yielded equivalent levels of success to those found with our telephone-delivered intervention and are comparable to other Internet treatment studies. This study provides important options for survivorship programs that may not have resources for interpersonal forms of cessation counseling. Efforts to increase patient use of the interventions may result in higher cessation rates. C1 [Emmons, Karen M.; Sprunck-Harrild, Kim; Diller, Lisa] Dana Farber Canc Inst, Boston, MA 02215 USA.

STUDY DESIGN: We identified cases of epithelial ovarian cancers with clear cell, endometrioid, or mixed clear cell and endometrioid histologies from January 2001 to March 2009. Tumors were classified as either "arising in" endometriosis, "associated with" endometriosis or "controls" (not associated with endometriosis). We collected information regarding patient demographics, past medical history, presentation at diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. RESULTS: Of 140 patients identified, 42 (30.0%) had clear cell, 92 (65.7%) had endometrioid, and 6 (4.3%) had mixed. Of those, 28.6% of tumors were associated with endometriosis (n = 40), 37.1% were arising in endometriosis (n = 52), and 34.3% were controls (n = 48). Premenopausal women had tumors that were more likely arising from or associated with endometriosis as compared to tumors in postmenopausal women (p = 0.005). Premenopausal patients were also more likely to present with early stage disease as compared to postmenopausal women (80.4% vs. 63.6%, p = 0.04) and better overall survival (p < 0.008). Survival analyses of the entire cohort showed that improved survival was associated with stage (p < 0.001), grade (p < 0.001), endometrioid histology (p < 0.005), and with tumors associated with or arising in endometriosis (p < 0.04). Multivariate analysis controlling for menopausal status showed the presence of endometriosis was no longer associated with a survival advantage (p = 0.08). CONCLUSION: The association with endometriosis does appear, at least in endometrioid tumors, to provide a survival benefit. Overall, menopausal status, stage, and grade are more powerful variables associated with improved survival.

The disease is androgen driven and the use of orchiectomy or chemical castration, known as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been employed for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer for over 70 years. Agents such as GnRH agonists and non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonists are routinely used in the clinic, but eventually relapse occurs due to the emergence of castration-resistant prostate cancer. With the appreciation that androgen signaling still persists in these patients and the development of new therapies such as abiraterone and enzalutamide that further suppresses androgen synthesis or signaling, there is a renewed need for sensitive and specific methods to quantify androgen precursor and metabolite levels to assess drug efficacy. We describe the development, validation and application of a stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography electrospray ionization selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (SID-LC/ESI/SRM/MS) method for quantification of serum keto-androgens and their sulfate and glucuronide conjugates using Girard-T oxime derivatives. The method is robust down to 0.2-4 pg on column, depending on the androgen metabolite quantified, and can also quantify dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in only 1 mu L of serum. The clinical utility of this method was demonstrated by analyzing serum androgens from patients enrolled in a clinical trial assessing combinations of pharmacological agents to maximally suppress gonadal and adrenal androgens (Targeted Androgen Pathway Suppression, TAPS clinical trial). The method was validated by correlating the results obtained with a hydroxylamine derivatization procedure coupled with tandem mass spectrometry using selected reaction monitoring that was conducted in an independent laboratory.

We previously showed that when the DNA replication checkpoint is activated, the repressor Yox1 is phosphorylated and inactivated by Cds1, resulting in activation of MluI-binding factor (MBF)-dependent transcription. This is essential to reinitiate DNA synthesis and for correct G1-to-S transition. Here we show that Cdc10, which is an essential part of the MBF core, is the target of the DNA damage checkpoint. When fission yeast cells are treated with DNA-damaging agents, Chk1 is activated and phosphorylates Cdc10 at its carboxy-terminal domain. This modification is responsible for the repression of MBF-dependent transcription through induced release of MBF from chromatin. This inactivation of MBF is important for survival of cells challenged with DNA-damaging agents. Thus Yox1 and Cdc10 couple normal cell cycle regulation in unperturbed conditions and the DNA replication and DNA damage checkpoints into a single transcriptional complex.

TI CD47 plays a critical role in T-cell recruitment by regulation of LFA-1 and VLA-4 integrin adhesive functions SO MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE CELL LA English DT Article ID CONDITIONS IN-VITRO; SHEAR-FLOW; P-SELECTIN; ALPHA(4)BETA(1)-INTEGRIN ACTIVATION; TRANSENDOTHELIAL MIGRATION; LYMPHOCYTE ARREST; PROTEIN CD47; ENDOTHELIUM; AFFINITY; CONFORMATION AB CD47 plays an important but incompletely understood role in the innate and adaptive immune responses. CD47, also called integrin-associated protein, has been demonstrated to associate in cis with beta 1 and beta 3 integrins. Here we test the hypothesis that CD47 regulates adhesive functions of T-cell alpha 4 beta 1 (VLA-4) and alpha L beta 2 (LFA-1) in in vivo and in vitro models of inflammation. Intravital microscopy studies reveal that CD47(-/-) Th1 cells exhibit reduced interactions with wild-type (WT) inflamed cremaster muscle microvessels. Similarly, murine CD47(-/-) Th1 cells, as compared with WT, showed defects in adhesion and transmigration across tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-activated murine endothelium and in adhesion to immobilized intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) under flow conditions. Human Jurkat T-cells lacking CD47 also showed reduced adhesion to TNF-alpha-activated endothelium and ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. In cis interactions between Jurkat T-cell beta 2 integrins and CD47 were detected by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. Unexpectedly, Jurkat CD47 null cells exhibited a striking defect in beta 1 and beta 2 integrin activation in response to Mn2+ or Mg2+/ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid treatment. Our results demonstrate that CD47 associates with beta 2 integrins and is necessary to induce high-affinity conformations of LFA-1 and VLA-4 that recognize their endothelial cell ligands and support leukocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration.

Little is known about the number of NPs billing Medicare or their practice patterns. Purpose: This study examines the geographic distribution and county characteristics of NPs billing Medicare, compares the types and quantities of primary care services provided to Medicare beneficiaries by NPs and primary care physicians, and analyzes the characteristics of beneficiaries receiving primary care from each type of clinician. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 2008 Medicare administrative data from 959,848 aged and/or disabled beneficiaries continuously enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare during the study period. Outcome measures included geographic distribution of NPs measured by the rate of NPs per 1,000 Medicare beneficiaries by state, average utilization, and patient characteristics. Discussion: States with the highest rate of NPs billing were rural. Over 80% of the payments received by both NPs and primary care physicians were for evaluation and management services. Beneficiaries assigned to an NP were more likely to be female, to be dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, and to have qualified for Medicare because of a disability. NPs with assigned beneficiaries were significantly more likely than similar primary care physicians to practice in federally designated primary care shortage areas. Conclusions: Approximately 45,000 NPs were providing services to beneficiaries and billing under their own provider numbers in 2008. Aspects of NP practice patterns were different from primary care physicians, and NPs appeared more likely to provide services to disadvantaged Medicare beneficiaries.

Methods: Serum cortisol was measured at the time of a post sexual assault medical exam among a sample of 323 female victims of recent sexual assault. Analyses were conducted among 235 participants who provided data regarding history of previous assault as well as PTSD and depression symptoms during at least one of the three follow-ups. Results: Growth curve models suggested that prior history of assault and serum cortisol were positively associated with the intercept and negatively associated with the slope of PTSD and depression symptoms after controlling for covariates. Prior history of assault and serum cortisol also interacted to predict the intercept and slope of PTSD and depression symptoms such that women with a prior history of assault and lower ER cortisol had higher initial symptoms that decreased at a slower rate relative to women without a prior history and those with higher ER cortisol. Conclusions: Prior history of assault was associated with diminished acute cortisol responsivity at the emergency room visit. Prior assault history and cortisol both independently and interactively predicted PTSD and depression symptoms at first follow-up and over the course a 6-month follow-up. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Here, using a modified protocol to differentiate mouse ESCs (mESCs) into almost uniform glutamatergic neurons, we explored the importance of raptor/mTORC1 in the differentiation of mESCs. Raptor gene-trap mESCs, and raptor-knockdown mESCs formed smaller-sized embryonic bodies than the wild type and failed to undergo neuronal differentiation. Treatment with 1 rapamycin starting at the point when neuronal precursors began to differentiate from mESCs caused the gradual loss of neurites, shrinkage of soma, and a decreased ratio of neurite length to cell number over 48 to 72 h of treatment. This change was accompanied by activation of caspase-3 and S6 kinase (S6K), but not 4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP1). Knockdown of raptor during neuronal differentiation from mESCs also resulted in gradual loss of neurites and shrinkage of cell bodies. Loss of neurite density resulting from rapamycin treatment could be reversed by overexpression of S6K T389E. Taken together, these data demonstrate that raptor/mTORC1/S6K plays a critical role in the differentiation and survival of neurons derived from mESCs. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Strict Smoke-free Home Policies Among Smoking Parents in Pediatric Settings SO ACADEMIC PEDIATRICS LA English DT Article DE environmental tobacco smoke; parental smoking; secondhand smoke; smoking ID ENVIRONMENTAL TOBACCO-SMOKE; 4 COUNTRY SURVEY; UNITED-STATES; HOUSEHOLD SMOKING; THIRDHAND SMOKE; NATIONAL-SURVEY; CHILDREN; EXPOSURE; BANS; ADOLESCENTS AB OBJECTIVE: To examine strict smoke-free home policies among smoking parents assessed in pediatric offices. METHODS: We analyzed baseline parental survey data from 10 control practices in a national trial of pediatric office-based tobacco control interventions (Clinical Effort Against Second-hand Smoke Exposure, CEASE). We used logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations to examine factors associated with strict smoke-free home policies. RESULTS: Subjects were 952 parents who were current smokers. Just over half (54.3%) reported strict smoke-free home policies. Few reported being asked (19.9%) or advised (17.1%) regarding policies by pediatricians. Factors associated with higher odds of policies were child 5 years or younger (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.53, 3.86), nonblack race/ethnicity (aORs 2.17-2.60, 95% CIs 1.25-5.00), non-Medicaid (HMO/private (aOR 1.84, 95% CI 1.31, 2.58); self-pay/other aOR 1.76, 95% CI 1.12, 2.78); well-child versus sick child visit (aOR 1.61, 95% CI 1.11, 2.34), fewer than 10 cigarettes per day (aOR 1.80, 95% CI 1.31, 2.47), no other home smokers (aOR 1.68, 95% CI 1.26, 2.25), only father smoking (aOR 1.73, 95% CI 1.06, 2.83), and strict smoke-free car policy (aOR 3.51, 95% CI 2.19, 5.64). CONCLUSIONS; Nearly half of smoking parents did not have strict smoke-free home policies. Parents were less likely to report policies if they were heavier smokers, black, living with other smokers, or attending a sick child visit; if they did not have a young child or smoke-free car policy; if they had a child on Medicaid; and if anyone other than only the father smoked. Few pediatricians addressed or recommended strict smoke-free home policies in an office visit. The pediatric office encounter represents a currently missed opportunity to intervene regarding smoke-free homes, particularly for high-risk groups.

Simultaneous studies were performed utilizing spaceflight, clinorotation in a 2-D clinorotation device, and static ground controls. The feeding rate of worms for killed E. coli was unaffected by spaceflight or clinorotation. Nematodes, microbes, and growth media were separated until exposed to true or modeled microgravity, then mixed and grown for 48h. Experiments were terminated by paraformaldehyde fixation, and optical density measurements were used to assay residual microorganisms. Spaceflight was associated with reduced virulence for Listeria, Enterococcus, MRSA, and Candida for both larval and adult C. elegans. These are the first data acquired with a direct in vivo assay system in space to demonstrate virulence. Clinorotation reproduced the effects of spaceflight in some, but not all, virulence assays: Candida and Enterococcus were less virulent for larval worms but not adult worms, whereas virulence of MRSA and Listeria were unaffected by clinorotation in tests with both adult and larval worms. We conclude that four common clinical microorganisms are all less virulent in space. Key Words: VirulenceSpaceflightNematodesClinorotationMicrogravityMicroorganism. Astrobiology 13, 1081-1090.

Tumor cell morphology and cell surface biomarkers (CD138(+)B220(-)IgM(-)GFP(+)) indicate a plasma cell neoplasm. Gene set enrichment analysis further confirms that the tumor cells have a plasma cell gene expression signature. Plasmacytoma cells infiltrated multiple loci in the bone marrow, spleen and liver; secreted immunoglobulins; and caused glomerular damage. Our findings therefore demonstrate that deregulated expression of cMYC with KRAS12V in T2 B cells rapidly generates a plasma cell disease in mice, suggesting utility of this model both to elucidate molecular pathogenesis and to validate novel targeted therapies.

TI HEALTH CARE TRANSITION IN YOUNG ADULTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES: BARRIERS TO TIMELY ESTABLISHMENT OF ADULT DIABETES CARE SO ENDOCRINE PRACTICE LA English DT Article ID GLYCEMIC CONTROL; FOLLOW-UP; ADOLESCENTS; SYSTEMS; SERVICES; CHILDREN; PROGRAM; PEOPLE; TRENDS; COHORT AB Objective: To examine barriers to health care transition reported by young adults with type 1 diabetes and associations between barriers and prolonged gaps between pediatric and adult diabetes care. Methods: We surveyed young adults aged 22 to 30 years with type 1 diabetes about their transition experiences, including barriers to timely establishment of adult diabetes care. We evaluated relationships between barriers and gaps in care using multivariate logistic regression. Results: The response rate was 53% (258 of 484 eligible subjects). Respondents (62% female) were 26.7 +/- 2.4 years old and transitioned to adult diabetes care at 19.5 +/- 2.9 years. Reported barriers included lack of specific adult provider referral name (47%) or contact information (27%), competing life priorities (43%), difficulty getting an appointment (41%), feeling upset about leaving pediatrics (24%), and insurance problems (10%). In multivariate analysis, barriers most strongly associated with gaps in care >6 months were lack of adult provider name (odds ratio [OR], 6.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.0-12.7) or contact information (OR, 5.3; 95% CI, 2.0-13.9), competing life priorities (OR, 5.2; 95% CI, 2.7-10.3), and insurance problems (OR, 3.5; 95% CI, 1.2-10.3). Overall, respondents reporting >= 1 moderate/major barrier (48%) had 4.7-fold greater adjusted odds of a gap in care >6 months (95% CI, 2.8-8.7). Conclusion: Significant barriers to transition, such as a lack of specific adult provider referrals, may be addressed with more robust preparation by pediatric providers and care coordination. Further study is needed to evaluate strategies to improve young adult self-care in the setting of competing life priorities.

Currently, there are 2 commercially available monoclonal antibodies for the detection of BRAF V600E mutation; however, a full and practical comparison of their performance in various tumor types on an automated staining platform has not been done. We investigated their sensitivity and specificity in detecting the BRAF V600E mutation in a series of 152 tumors including 31 malignant melanomas, 25 lung carcinomas, 32 gastrointestinal carcinomas, 23 thyroid carcinomas, 35 gliomas, and 6 other malignancies. In this series, the concordance rate between immunohistochemistry (IHC) and mutational analyses was 97% (148/152) for VE1 and 88% (131/149) for anti-B-Rat The sensitivity and specificity were 98% (60/61) and 97% (88/91) for monoclonal VE1 and 95% (58/61) and 83% (73/88) for anti-B-Raf, respectively. There were 4 cases with discordant IHC and mutational results for monoclonal VE1 in contrast to 18 cases for anti-B-Raf. Our studies showed that IHC with monoclonal VE1 has a better performance compared with anti-B-Raf in an automated staining platform and confirmed that clone VE1 provides excellent sensitivity and specificity for detecting the BRAF V600E mutation in a variety of tumor types in a clinical setting.

We studied 15,353 individuals with moderate-to-advanced CKD who received ambulatory care within a large public health system during 1996-2005. The primary outcome was progression to ESRD. Overall, 559 cases of ESRD occurred over a median follow-up of 2.8 years. Among traditional predictors of ESRD, younger age, male sex, non-White race/ethnicity, public health insurance coverage, diabetes, lower kidney function, higher proteinuria, lower hemoglobin level, and lower serum albumin concentration were significantly associated with a higher adjusted ESRD risk (p<.001 for all). There was no significant association between HIV/AIDS (p=.07), viral hepatitis (p=.11), or non-English language (p=.27) and ESRD risk. Our results highlight the importance of addressing traditional risk factors for progressive CKD to reduce the disproportionate burden of ESRD among disadvantaged populations.

At present, there is no practical treatment to delay or prevent bone loss in individuals with motor-complete SCI. Hypogonadism is common in men after SCI and may exacerbate bone loss. The anabolic steroid nandrolone reduces bone loss due to microgravity or nerve transection. Objective: To determine whether nandrolone reduced bone loss after SCI and, if so, to explore the mechanisms of nandrolone action. Methods: Male rats with complete transection of the spinal cord were administered nandrolone combined with a physiological replacement dose of testosterone, or vehicle, beginning on day 29 after SCI and continued for 28 days. Results: SCI reduced distal femoral and proximal tibial bone mineral density (BMD) by 25 and 16%, respectively, at 56 days. This bone loss was attenuated by nandrolone. In ex vivo osteoclasts cultures, SCI increased mRNA levels for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and calcitonin receptor; nandrolone-normalized expression levels of these transcripts. In ex vivo osteoblast cultures, SCI increased receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL) mRNA levels but did not alter osteoprotegerin (OPG) mRNA expression; nandrolone-increased expression of OPG and OPG/RANKL ratio. SCI reduced mRNA levels of Wnt signaling-related genes Wnt3a, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5), Fzd5, Tcf7, and ectodermal-neural cortex 1 (ENC1) in osteoblasts, whereas nandrolone increased expression of each of these genes. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that nandrolone reduces bone loss after SCI. A potential mechanism is suggested by our findings wherein nandrolone modulates genes for differentiation and activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, at least in part, through the activation of Wnt signaling.

Study design: Cross-sectional qualitative semi-structured interviews. Setting: Thirty-three VA healthcare facilities from throughout the United States that provide care to veterans with SCI/D. Participants: Thirty-three infection control key informants, each representing a VA healthcare facility. Interventions: None. Outcome measures: Infection control practices, including vaccination practices, hospital preparedness, and recommendations for future pandemics, both in general and specifically to SCI/D. Results: Most (n = 26, 78.8%) infection control key informants believed veterans with SCI/D were at increased risk for influenza and complications, but only 17 (51.5%) said veterans with SCI/D were treated as a priority group for vaccination at their facilities. There was little special guidance provided for treating veterans with SCI/D, and most (n = 28, 84.8%) informants said that infection control procedures and recommendations were applied universally. Yet, 10 key informants discussed 'unique challenges' to infection control in the SCI/D population. Informants discussed the potential for infectious agents to be spread through shared and common use equipment and the necessity of including caregivers in any vaccination or educational campaigns. Conclusion: Greater input by experts knowledgeable about SCI/D is recommended to adequately address pandemic influenza within healthcare facilities where individuals with SCI/D receive care.

TI Dysphagia Screening and Hospital-acquired Pneumonia in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: Findings from Get with the Guidelines-Stroke SO JOURNAL OF STROKE & CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASES LA English DT Article DE Acute stroke; pneumonia; dysphagia screening ID ASPIRATION; CARE; RISK; COMPLICATIONS; ASSOCIATION; ATTACK AB Background: National guidelines recommend dysphagia screening (DS) before oral intake in stroke patients to reduce hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). We examined the relationship between DS and HAP after ischemic stroke. Methods: Get with the Guidelines-Stroke defines HAP as postadmission diagnosis of pneumonia requiring antibiotics, and DS as the use of bedside swallow screening prior to oral intake. Univariable and multivariable analyses examined the relationship between DS and HAP. Results: Among 314,007 ischemic stroke patients at 1244 Get with the Guidelines-Stroke hospitals from 2003-2009 who were eligible for DS and had completed HAP data, a total of 216,372 (68.9%) underwent DS and a total of 17,906 (5.7%) developed HAP. When compared with patients without HAP, patients with HAP were older, had admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (median NIHSS score: 10 versus 4), were more likely to undergo DS (75.5% versus 68.5%), and had increased length of stay and in-hospital mortality (12.4% versus 2.3%). In multivariable analyses, factors independently associated with a lower risk of HAP were female gender (odds ratio [OR] 0.84), dyslipidemia (OR 0.84), and hypertension (OR 0.94). DS was associated with a higher adjusted OR for HAP (OR 1.40), but the OR was greatly attenuated after adding NIHSS score to the model (OR 1.10). Conclusions: HAP occurs in 1 of 17 hospitalized stroke patients and is associated with a greater than 5-fold increase in mortality. DS did not occur in 31.1% of eligible patients, with increased screening among those with more severe strokes and those who developed HAP. The attenuation of the relationship between DS and HAP risk when controlling for NIHSS score suggests the association between screening and pneumonia is confounded by severity. Controlled trials are needed to determine DS effectiveness. C1 [Masrur, Shihab] Berkshire Med Ctr, Dept Med, Pittsfield, MA 01201 USA.

CT and MRI have been used to determine the resectability of tumors, the candidacy of patients for effective cytoreductive surgery, the need for postoperative chemotherapy if debulking is suboptimal, and the need for referral to a gynecologic oncologist. Radiographic studies such as contrast enema and urography have been replaced by CT and other cross-sectional imaging for staging ovarian cancer. Contrast-enhanced CT is the procedure of choice for preoperative staging of ovarian cancer. MRI without and with contrast may be useful after equivocal CT, but is usually not the best initial procedure for ovarian cancer staging. Fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-PET/CT may not be needed preoperatively, but its use is appropriate for detecting and defining post-treatment recurrence. Ultrasound is useful for evaluating adnexal disease, but has limited utility for staging ovarian cancer. The ACR Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 2 years by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and review include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer-reviewed journals and the application of a well-established consensus methodology (modified Delphi) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures by the panel. In those instances where evidence is lacking or not definitive, expert opinion may be used to recommend imaging or treatment.

The identification of these anomalies is important for optimal clinical management or surgical treatment. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a robust method for adequately evaluating and characterizing uterine and vaginal anomalies. The information provided by MR imaging allows for a more complete understanding of the malformation, facilitating management decisions and potentially changing the outcome. In this article, the embryology, classification, and MR imaging findings of Mullerian duct and related anomalies in children and adolescents are reviewed.

TI Global initiatives to tackle organ trafficking and transplant tourism SO MEDICINE HEALTH CARE AND PHILOSOPHY LA English DT Review DE Organ transplantation; Organ trafficking; Transplant tourism; Istanbul Declaration; Asian Task Force; International guidelines ID DONATION; DECLARATION; ISTANBUL; TRADE AB The increasing gap between organ supply and demand has opened the door for illegal organ sale, trafficking of human organs, tissues and cells, as well as transplant tourism. Currently, underprivileged and vulnerable populations in resource-poor countries are a major source of organs for rich patient-tourists who can afford to purchase organs at home or abroad. This paper presents a summary of international initiatives, such as World Health Organization's Principle Guidelines, The Declaration of Istanbul, Asian Task Force Recommendations, as well as UNESCO's and the United Nation's initiatives against trafficking of human organs, tissues, cells, and transplant tourism. Beyond the summary, it calls for more practical measures to be taken to implement the existing guidelines and recommendations, in order to prevent exploitation of the poor as organ providers. The paper suggests that an international legally binding agreement in criminalizing organ trafficking would be a step forward to bring a change in the global picture of organ trafficking and transplant tourism.

Methods and resultsThree-week-old mice were randomly assigned to three diet groups (n = 20/group). At 9 wk of age, half of the mice from each dietary treatment (n = 10) were intraperitoneally (i.p.) sensitized with three weekly doses of BLG and alum while the remaining half from each group was sham sensitized (controls). One week after the final sensitization, all mice were orally challenged with BLG. Elevated BLG-specific serum Igs were observed in all sensitized and challenged mice. IFN-, MCP-1, and IL-12p40 concentrations from lymphocytes of mesenteric lymph nodes were highest in O3H mice, compared to O3O6 and O6H mice. O6H mice had the highest IL-4 concentrations from splenic lymphocytes and a significantly lower rectal temperature after the challenge in comparison to O3O6 and O3H mice. ConclusionsOur results suggest that the -3 PUFA rich diets alleviated the severity of allergic reactions, and may modulate immune response toward T helper cell (Th)1-favoured immune response while the -6 PUFA rich diet exhibited no allergy alleviation with a stronger Th2 polarized immune response.

Here we show that Nck1, but not Nck2, is a substrate of c-Cbl-mediated ubiquitination. We uncover lysine 178 in Nck1 as the evolutionarily conserved ubiquitin acceptor site. We previously reported that synaptopodin, a proline-rich actin-binding protein, induces stress fibres by blocking the Smurf1-mediated ubiquitination of RhoA. We now find that synaptopodin competes with c-Cbl for binding to Nck1, which prevents the ubiquitination of Nck1 by c-Cbl. Gene silencing of c-Cbl restores Nck1 protein abundance and stress fibres in synaptopodin knockdown cells. Similarly, expression of c-Cbl-resistant Nck1(K178R) or Nck2 containing the SH3 domain 2 of Nck1 restores stress fibres in synaptopodin-depleted podocytes through activation of RhoA signalling. These findings reveal proteasomal regulation as a key factor in the distinct and non-redundant effects of Nck on RhoA-mediated actin dynamics.

TI Chemotherapy With Erlotinib or Chemotherapy Alone in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Acquired Resistance to EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors SO ONCOLOGIST LA English DT Article DE Non-small cell lung cancer; Epidermal growth factor receptor; Protein kinase inhibitor; Drug resistance ID RANDOMIZED PHASE-II; FORMER SMOKERS; BREAST-CANCER; GEFITINIB; TRIAL; CARBOPLATIN; PACLITAXEL; COMBINATION; TUMORS; DISCONTINUATION AB Purpose. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer has an oncogene-addicted biology that confers sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Published data suggest that EGFR addiction persists after development of TKI acquired resistance, leading many clinicians to continue TKI with subsequent chemotherapy; however, this strategy has not been formally evaluated. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed an institutional database to identify patients with advanced EGFR mutation with acquired resistance who subsequently received chemotherapy. Patients were classified as receiving chemotherapy with continued erlotinib or chemotherapy alone. We assessed differences in outcomes between the two strategies. Results. Seventy-eight patients were included, 34 treated with chemotherapy and erlotinib and 44 treated with chemotherapy alone. Objective response rate was evaluable in 57 patients and was 41% for those treated with chemotherapy and erlotinib and 18% for those treated with chemotherapy alone. After adjusting for chemotherapy regimen and length of initial TKI course, the odds ratio for the response rate was 0.20 (95% confidence interval: 0.05-0.78; p = .02) favoring treatment with chemotherapy and erlotinib. The median progression-free survival was 4.4 months on chemotherapy and erlotinib and 4.2 months on chemotherapy alone (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.79; 95% confidence interval: 0.48-1.29; p = .34). There was no difference in overall survival. Conclusion. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to demonstrate that continuation of EGFR TKI with chemotherapy in patients with acquired resistance improves outcomes compared with chemotherapy alone. We observed an improved response rate but no difference in progression-free survival or overall survival. A larger prospective clinical trial is needed to evaluate this promising strategy further.

Monoclonal cryoglobulinemia (type I) involves a single type of monoclonal immunoglobulin, while mixed cryoglobulinemia involves a mixture either of polyclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) G and monoclonal IgM (type II), or of polyclonal IgG and polyclonal IgM (type III); both monoclonal and polyclonal IgM have rheumatoid factor activity. Cryoglobulinemia is a unique model of human disease for several reasons: (1) cryoglobulins are detected using a simple technical approach that is based on in vitro laboratory observation of cold precipitation in serum; (2) cryoglobulinemic organ damage may be produced by two different etiopathogenic mechanisms (accumulation of cryoglobulins and autoimmune-mediated vasculitic damage); and (3) cryoglobulinemia is associated with a wide range of etiologies, symptoms, and outcomes, and is considered a disease that combines elements of autoimmune and lymphoproliferative diseases. There are three main broad treatment strategies in cryoglobulinemia-conventional immunosuppression, antiviral treatment, and biologic therapy. Some agents, such as corticosteroids and rituximab, have been successfully used in all types of cryoglobulinemia; however, treatment should be modulated according to the underlying associated disease (chronic viral infections, autoimmune diseases, or cancer), the predominant etiopathogenic damage (vasculitis vs hyperviscosity), and the severity of internal organ involvement.

An expert panel was convened to reach consensus on the selection of imaging and therapeutic modalities. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 2 years by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and review include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer-reviewed journals and the application of a well-established consensus methodology (modified Delphi) used by the panel to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures. In those instances where evidence is lacking or not definitive, expert opinion may be used to recommend imaging or treatment. Four variants were developed to represent clinical scenarios in vaginal cancer management. Group members reached consensus on the appropriateness of the pretreatment evaluation and therapeutic interventions. This article represents the consensus opinion of an expert panel and may be used to inform clinical recommendations in vaginal cancer management.

So too, the numerous modalities of treatments applied in managing these patients continue to increase as well. In the period from 2000 to 2011 interventional techniques increased 228%. In addition, analysis of utilization trends and expenditures for spinal interventional techniques alone from 2000 to 2008 illustrated an increase in Medicare fee-for-service expenditures of 240% in terms of dollars spent in the United States. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services showed an increase in facet joint and transforaminal epidural injections, with a significant proportion of these services did not meet the medical necessity criteria. The increasing utilization of interventional techniques is also associated with significant variations among specialty groups and regional variations among states. Overall procedures have increased by 173%, with rate of 130% per 100,000 Medicare beneficiaries for epidural injections; 383%, with a rate of 308% for facet joint interventions; and overall 410%, or a rate of 331% for sacroiliac joint interventions. Certain high volume interventions such as lumbar transforaminal epidural injections and lumbar facet joint neurolysis have actually increased a staggering 806% and 662%. Coverage policies across ambulatory settings and by multiple payers are highly variable. Apart from variability in the development of coverage policies, payments also substantially vary by site of service. In general, amongst the various ambulatory settings the highest payments are made to hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) the lowest to in-office procedures, and payment to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) falling somewhere in the middle. This manuscript describes the many differences that exist between the various settings, and includes suggestions for accountable interventional pain management with coverage for techniques with evidence, addressing excessive use of specific techniques, and equalizing payments across multiple ambulatory settings.

Photoreceptor cell death has been thought to occur mainly through apoptosis, which is the most characterized form of programmed cell death. The caspase family of cysteine proteases plays a central role for inducing apoptosis, and in experimental models of RD, dying photoreceptor cells exhibit caspase activation; however, there is a paradox that caspase inhibition alone does not provide a sufficient protection against photoreceptor cell loss, suggesting that other mechanisms of cell death are involved. Recent accumulating evidence demonstrates that non-apoptotic forms of cell death, such as autophagy and necrosis, are also regulated by specific molecular machinery, such as those mediated by autophagy-related proteins and receptor-interacting protein kinases, respectively. Here we summarize the current knowledge of cell death signaling and its roles in photoreceptor cell death after RD and other retinal degenerative diseases. A body of studies indicate that not only apoptotic but also autophagic and necrotic signaling are involved in photoreceptor cell death, and that combined targeting of these pathways may be an effective neuroprotective strategy for retinal diseases associated with photoreceptor cell loss.

Objective: We sought to review the literature on the correlation of high and low levels of testosterone on mood disorders in men. Results: Based on limited studies, high levels of testosterone are related to increased rates of depression as well as hypomania whereas low levels of testosterone are related to depressive disorders in certain subpopulations of patients. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that low testosterone level routinely leads to major depressive disorder in men. Conclusions: Physicians should consider screening for low testosterone levels in certain subgroups of depressed men.

TI What Radiologists Need to Know about Diagnosis and Treatment of Inflammatory Breast Cancer: A Multidisciplinary Approach SO RADIOGRAPHICS LA English DT Article ID EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY/COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY; NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY; PATHOLOGICAL RESPONSE; F-18-FDG PET/CT; E-CADHERIN; CARCINOMA; EXPRESSION; SURVIVAL; MRI; ANGIOGENESIS AB Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare breast cancer with a highly virulent course and low 5-year survival rate. Trimodality treatment that includes preoperative chemotherapy, mastectomy, and radiation therapy is the therapeutic mainstay and has been shown to improve prognosis. Proper diagnosis and staging of IBC is critical to treatment planning and requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes imaging. Patients with IBC typically present with rapid onset of breast erythema, edema, and peau d'orange. Both tissue diagnosis of malignancy and clinical findings of inflammatory disease are required to confirm diagnosis of IBC. Imaging is used to identify a biopsy target; direct biopsy; stage IBC; differentiate curable from incurable (stage IV) disease; and help plan chemotherapy, surgical management, and radiation therapy. Comparison of baseline and posttreatment images helps confirm and quantitate disease response. When imaging is used early in the course of therapy to noninvasively predict treatment response, optimal tailored strategies for management of IBC can be implemented. Imaging is vital to diagnosis and treatment planning for patients with IBC, and radiologists are an integral part of the multidisciplinary patient care team.

Ultrasonography, including sonohysterography, permits evaluation of endometrial abnormalities and characterization of adnexal masses. Computed tomography, particularly in conjunction with (18F)-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, is increasingly used to stage the cancers and to detect disease recurrence. Magnetic resonance imaging plays a major role in accurate locoregional staging of these cancers, and significantly influences treatment decisions and outcomes. This article discusses the role of imaging modalities in the diagnosis, management, and surveillance of these cancers.

However, the translation of TRAIL into the clinic has been confounded by its short half-life, inadequate delivery methods, and TRAIL-resistant cancer cell populations. In this review, we discuss how TRAIL has been functionalized to diversify its traditional tumor-killing role and novel strategies to facilitate its effective deployment in preclinical cancer models. The successes and failures of the most recent clinical trials using TRAIL agonists are highlighted and we provide a perspective for improving its clinical implementation.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between degree of neointimal hyperplasia and incidence and characteristics of NA using optical coherence tomography. We identified a total of 252 stents with mean neointimal thickness (NIT) >100 mu m in 212 patients: 100 bare metal stents (BMSs) and 152 drug-eluting stents (DESs). Based on the values of mean NIT, we divided stents into tertiles and compared neointimal characteristics among the 3 groups. NA was defined as the presence of lipid-laden intima and/or calcification inside the stent. In both BMS and DES, there was a difference in the prevalence of lipid-laden intima among the tertiles (18.2% vs 36.4% vs 47.1%, p = 0.042 [BMS]; 19.6% vs 56.9% vs 88.0%, p < 0.001 [DES]). However, no difference in the prevalence of in-stent calcification was observed (21.2% vs 21.2% vs 2.9%, p = 0.053 [BMS]; 5.9% vs 9.8% vs 2.0%, p = 0.252 [DES]). In a multivariate model adjusting for stent type, follow-up duration, conventional coronary risk factors, statin, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blockade use, mean NIT was independently associated with the presence of NA (odds ratio 2.53, 95% confidence interval 1.96 to 3.27, p < 0.001). This study demonstrates the presence of a positive correlation between degree of neointimal hyperplasia after stent implantation and presence of lipid-laden intima. This association is independent from stent type and time from implantation and suggests a possible pathogenic link between the two processes. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

DESIGN: Randomized, interventional case series. METHODS: Retrospectively, the medical records of patients who underwent SLT between March 2010 and July 2012 by 1 surgeon at a single center after a failed phaco-AIT were evaluated. Inclusion criteria were age >= 18 years with no upper limit and prior failed phaco-AIT attributable to glaucoma progression. Exclusion criterion was performance of any additional glaucoma procedure with influence on intraocular pressure (TOP) during follow-up and a follow-up after surgery of <3 months. Success was defined by reduction of TOP of >3 mm Hg and 20% and number of antiglaucoma medications equal to or less than baseline. Main outcome measures were TOP, antiglaucoma medications, time to failure, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve. RESULTS: Fourteen eyes of 13 subjects were included. Mean follow-up after SLT was 12.9 +/- 8.7 months. Total laser energy was 59.5 +/- 8.7 mJ. Baseline TOP was 17.9 +/- 3.3 mm Hg and number of antiglaucoma medications at baseline was 2.0 +/- 1.0. All SLT procedures failed. Median time to failure after SLT was 3.6 +/- 0.8 (range 2.1-5.1) months. Number of antiglaucoma medications did not change. CONCLUSIONS: In eyes in which the IOP was no longer controlled following phaco-trabectome, SLT had a limited duration of significant TOP-lowering effect. Other alternatives, such as incisional filtration surgery, should be considered following failed phaco-trabectome. (C) 2013 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI Canaliculops: Clinicopathologic Features and Treatment With Marsupialization SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DACRYOPS; SYSTEM AB PURPOSE: To report the features of the rare and under-recognized condition of canaliculops (or canaliculocele) of the eyelid, which is a dilation of the canaliculus, and to evaluate treatment with marsupialization. DESIGN: Retrospective interventional case series. METHODS: The records of 2 patients with canaliculops from the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary were reviewed. Data collected included clinical history, surgical technique, histopathologic analysis, and comparative immunohistochemical analysis of a range of cyto-keratins in normal conjunctival epithelium, normal canalicular epithelium, and canaliculops epithelium. RESULTS: Two women, 53 and 66 years of age, experienced chronic, noninflammatory, painless medial eyelid and eyelid margin fluctuant swelling after earlier trauma or eyelid surgery. The external mass was accompanied by a whitish opalescent or bluish discoloration of a palpebral surface bulge. Biopsy revealed multilaminar (up to 12 cells thick), nonkeratinizing, tightly packed small squamous epithelial cells that surmounted a highly regimented basal layer with a picket fence arrangement. No goblet cells or subepithelial inflammation were present. Immunohistochemistry revealed only superficial CK7 immunostaining and positive patchy suprabasilar CK17 staining in the canaliculops epithelium, contrasting with their full-thickness positivity and negativity, respectively, in normal conjunctival epithelium. Marsupialization achieved resolution of the condition in each patient. CONCLUSIONS: An improved awareness of the normal canalicular epithelial structure and its immunohistochemical features can definitively separate canaliculops from conjunctival cysts. Previous treatment of canaliculops has involved complete excisions. Canaliculops may, however, be effectively treated with less invasive marsupialization while obtaining an adequate biopsy specimen for histopathologic diagnosis. (C) 2013 by Elsevier Inc.

TI Helicobacter pylori impedes acid-induced tightening of gastric epithelial junctions SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY-GASTROINTESTINAL AND LIVER PHYSIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Helicobacter pylori; gastric epithelium; apical acidity ID CANCER CELL-LINES; GENE-EXPRESSION; INTERCELLULAR SPACES; ENVIRONMENTAL PH; BARRIER FUNCTION; BETA-CATENIN; INFECTION; UREASE; ACTIVATION; INTERLEUKIN-8 AB Gastric infection by Helicobacter pylori is the most common cause of ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The mechanism of progression from gastritis and inflammation to ulcers and cancer in a fraction of those infected is not definitively known. Significant acidity is unique to the gastric environment and is required for ulcer development. The interplay between gastric acidity and H. pylori pathogenesis is important in progression to advanced disease. The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of acid on gastric epithelial integrity and cytokine release and how H. pylori infection alters these responses. Human gastric epithelial (HGE-20) cells were grown on porous inserts, and survival, barrier function, and cytokine release were studied at various apical pH levels in the presence and absence of H. pylori. With apical acidity, gastric epithelial cells demonstrate increased barrier function, as evidenced by increased transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and decreased paracellular permeability. This effect is reduced in the presence of wild-type, but not urease knockout, H. pylori. The epithelial inflammatory response is also modulated by acidity and H. pylori infection. Without H. pylori, epithelial IL-8 release decreases in acid, while IL-6 release increases. In the presence of H. pylori, acidic pH diminishes the magnitude of the previously reported increase in IL-8 and IL-6 release. H. pylori interferes with the gastric epithelial response to acid, contributing to altered barrier function and inflammatory response. H. pylori diminishes acid-induced tightening of cell junctions in a urease-dependent manner, suggesting that local pH elevation promotes barrier compromise and progression to mucosal damage.

TI Attitudes and beliefs toward biobehavioural research participation: voices and concerns of urban adolescent females receiving outpatient mental health treatment SO ANNALS OF HUMAN BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Biological specimens; research subject recruitment; research ethics ID PLANNED BEHAVIOR; DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS; PSYCHIATRIC-DISORDERS; CLINICAL DEPRESSION; RISK BEHAVIORS; CONDOM USE; HEART-RATE; BIOMARKERS; ASSOCIATION; DISEASE AB Background: Biobehavioural research methodology can be invasive and burdensome for participants - particularly adolescents with mental illnesses. Human biological researchers should consider how methodological impositions may hinder adolescent research participation. However, literature on adolescent's voices and concerns toward biobehavioural research participation is virtually non-existent. Aim: This study was designed to determine adolescents' perceptions of participation in research involving the collection of biomarkers via blood, saliva and/or urine samples. Subjects and methods: Urban adolescent females (aged 12-19) receiving outpatient mental health treatment (n = 37) participated in focus groups with concurrent survey administration to explore attitudes, beliefs and willingness/intentions toward biobehavioural research participation. Results: Participants had favourable attitudes toward biobehavioural research and were amenable to provide each specimen type. Mistrust for research emerged, however, and concerns related to privacy and confidentiality were expressed. Conclusion: Participant recruitment is a critical component in study design and implementation; this includes knowledge of population-specific recruitment barriers and facilitators. This innovative paper provides a context for the research participants' decision-making process, strategies to allay fears and concerns and concrete areas to target in research-related interventions. Although the findings are from a specific, US-based sample, the implications warrant replication of the research in other geosocial settings.
