TI Effect of Clinical and Social Risk Factors on Hospital Profiling for Stroke Readmission A Cohort Study SO ANNALS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES; 30-DAY READMISSION; HEART-FAILURE; CARE; PREDICTION; MORTALITY; IDENTIFY; PATIENT; MODELS; SCALE AB Background: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Veterans Health Administration (VA) will report 30-day stroke readmission rates as a measure of hospital quality. A national debate on whether social risk factors should be included in models developed for hospital profiling is ongoing. Objective: To compare a CMS-based model of 30-day readmission with a more comprehensive model that includes measures of social risk (such as homelessness) or clinical factors (such as stroke severity and functional status). Design: Data from a retrospective cohort study were used to develop a CMS-based 30-day readmission model that included age and comorbid conditions based on codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (model 1). This model was then compared with one that included administrative social risk factors (model 2). Finally, the CMS model (model 1) was compared with a model that included social risk and clinical factors from chart review (model 3). These 3 models were used to rank hospitals by 30-day risk-standardized readmission rates and examine facility rankings among the models. Setting: Hospitals in the VA. Participants: Patients hospitalized with stroke in 2007. Measurements: 30-day readmission rates. Results: The 30-day readmission rate was 12.8%. The c-statistics for the 3 models were 0.636, 0.646, and 0.661, respectively. All hospitals were classified as performing "as expected" using all 3 models (that is, performance did not differ from the VA national average); therefore, the addition of detailed clinical information or social risk factors did not alter assessment of facility performance. Limitation: A predominantly male veteran cohort limits the generalizability of these findings. Conclusion: In the VA, more comprehensive models that included social risk and clinical factors did not affect hospital comparisons based on 30-day readmission rates.

TI Assessing organizational readiness for depression care quality improvement: relative commitment and implementation capability SO IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Depression; Primary care; Quality improvement; Readiness; Measurement ID COLLABORATIVE CARE; RANDOMIZED-TRIAL; INTERVENTION; COSTS; MODEL AB Background: Depression is a major cause of morbidity and cost in primary care patient populations. Successful depression improvement models, however, are complex. Based on organizational readiness theory, a practice s commitment to change and its capability to carry out the change are both important predictors of initiating improvement. We empirically explored the links between relative commitment (i.e., the intention to move forward within the following year) and implementation capability. Methods: The DIAMOND initiative administered organizational surveys to medical and quality improvement leaders from each of 83 primary care practices in Minnesota. Surveys preceded initiation of activities directed at implementation of a collaborative care model for improving depression care. To assess implementation capability, we developed composites of survey items for five types of organizational factors postulated to be collaborative care barriers and facilitators. To assess relative commitment for each practice, we averaged leader ratings on an identical survey question assessing practice priorities. We used multivariable regression analyses to assess the extent to which implementation capability predicted relative commitment. We explored whether relative commitment or implementation capability measures were associated with earlier initiation of DIAMOND improvements. Results: All five implementation capability measures independently predicted practice leaders? relative commitment to improving depression care in the following year. These included the following: quality improvement culture and attitudes (p = 0.003), depression culture and attitudes (p < 0.001), prior depression quality improvement activities (p < 0.001), advanced access and tracking capabilities (p = 0.03), and depression collaborative care features in place (p = 0.03). Higher relative commitment (p = 0.002) and prior depression quality improvement activities appeared to be associated with earlier participation in the DIAMOND initiative. Conclusions: The study supports the concept of organizational readiness to improve quality of care and the use of practice leader surveys to assess it. Practice leaders relative commitment to depression care improvement may be a useful measure of the likelihood that a practice is ready to initiate evidence-based depression care changes. A comprehensive organizational assessment of implementation capability for depression care improvement may identify specific barriers or facilitators to readiness that require targeted attention from implementers.

At the time of the initial clinical encounter at our institution, the patient endorsed a 10-year history of progressive exertional dyspnea, which had become debilitating over the preceding 3 months and was characterized by shortness of breath accompanying subtle physical activities such as tying shoelaces. The patient underwent multiple hospital admissions reportedly for the treatment of congestive heart failure ascribed to impaired left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. Review of systems identified postural dizziness and history of near syncope, possible nocturnal dyspnea, and peripheral neuropathy, but not cardiac angina, orthopnea, nocturia, edema, cough, palpitations, syncope, claudication, or other cardiopulmonary symptoms. He related that he was first noted to have a cardiac murmur detected 4 decades previously during a military service physical examination but that the murmur was not characterized further and that he served in the Vietnam conflict without functional limitation. The patient's relevant medical history included rate-controlled atrial fibrillation, 90 pack-year tobacco use (3 packs daily between 21 and 51 years of age), dyslipidemia, systemic hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea not currently treated, and gastrointestinal bleed caused by colon cancer treated with hemicolectomy 11 years earlier. There was no illicit drug use, but a remote history of heavy alcohol consumption was reported. Family history was unremarkable except that his father died at 55 years of age of myocardial infarction. Medications included aspirin 81 mg daily, warfarin 2 mg daily, losartan 50 mg daily, metoprolol tartrate 25 mg twice daily, simvastatin 10 mg daily, fenofibrate 48 mg daily, albuterol inhaler 90-mu g puffs as needed, and gabapentin 300 mg 3 times daily.

The present study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the CPTS-RI in three samples of French-speaking school-children. Methods: Data was obtained from three samples. Sample 1 was composed of 106 children (mean (SD) age=11.7(0.7), 50% females) victims of an industrial disaster. Sample 2 was composed of 50 children (mean (SD) age=10.8(2.6), 44% females) who had received an orthopaedic surgical procedure after an accident. Sample 3 was composed of 106 children (mean (SD) age=11.7(2.2), 44% females) admitted to an emergency department after a road traffic accident. We tested internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha. We examined test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient. In order to assess the convergent validity of the French version of the CPTS-RI and the Clinician Administered PTS Scale-Child and Adolescent (CAPS-CA), spearman-correlation coefficient was computed. To verify the validity of the cut-off scores, a ROC curve was constructed which evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of each score compared to the diagnosis with the CAPS-CA. We also used principal components analysis with varimax rotation to study the structure of the French version of the CPTS-RI. Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.87 for the French version of the CPTS-RI. Two-week test-retest intraclass correlation coefficient (n=30) was 0.67. The French version of the CPTS-RI was well correlated with the CAPS-CA (r=0.76, p<0.001). Taking the CAPS-CA as the diagnostic reference, with a diagnostic cutoff of >24 for the CPTS-RI, the sensitivity and specificities were 100% and 62.6%, respectively. The French version of the CPTS-RI demonstrated a three-factor structure. Conclusions: The CPTS-RI is reliable and valid in French-speaking children.

In mammals, the oxidized methylcytosines (oxi-mCs) function as epigenetic marks and likely intermediates in DNA demethylation. Here we present a method based on diglucosylation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) to simultaneously map 5hmC, 5-formylcytosine, and 5-carboxylcytosine at near-base-pair resolution. We have used the method to map the distribution of oxi-mC across the genome of Coprinopsis cinerea, a basidiomycete that encodes 47 TET/JBP paralogs in a previously unidentified class of DNA transposons. Like 5-methylcytosine residues from which they are derived, oxi-mC modifications are enriched at centromeres, TET/JBP transposons, and multicopy paralogous genes that are not expressed, but rarely mark genes whose expression changes between two developmental stages. Our study provides evidence for the emergence of an epigenetic regulatory system through recruitment of selfish elements in a eukaryotic lineage, and describes a method to map all three different species of oxi-mCs simultaneously.

TI Hairy cell leukemia presenting as a palpable breast mass SO JOURNAL OF HEMATOPATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Hairy cell leukemia; Extramedullary; Breast; Extranodal ID LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS; INVOLVEMENT; EXPRESSION; DIAGNOSIS; NEOPLASMS; AUTOPSY; CD103 AB Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare mature B cell malignancy that typically involves the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and spleen. Clinically detectable lymph node infiltration occurs in aminority of patients, and extranodal tissue involvement of sites such as the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and skin is uncommon. Consequently, the vast majority of patients with HCL present with pancytopenia and splenomegaly but without lymphadenopathy or soft tissue masses. Herein we present a unique case of HCL presenting as a palpable breast mass without concomitant marrow or peripheral blood involvement and without radiologic evidence of other sites of disease. Several features of the tumor cell infiltrate (ample pale cytoplasm, nested appearance) evoked other entities that would more typically involve breast tissue such as the alveolar or solid variants of invasive lobular carcinoma. However, the immunophenotypic and molecular characteristics of the tumor cells were indistinguishable from classic HCL. The significant challenge in this case was recognizing this entity outside of its usual clinical and anatomic context. Although rare, HCL should be a diagnostic consideration in tumors arising at extramedullary/extranodal sites including the breast. C1 [Morgan, E. A.; Owings, R. A.; Pinkus, G.

Implicit race bias is one factor that contributes to the underrepresentation of Black faculty. We designed the videogame "Fair Play'' in which players assume the role of a Black graduate student named Jamal Davis. As Jamal, players experience subtle race bias while completing "quests'' to obtain a science degree. We hypothesized that participants randomly assigned to play the game would have greater empathy for Jamal and lower implicit race bias than participants randomized to read narrative text describing Jamal's experience. Materials and Methods: University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate students were recruited via e-mail and randomly assigned to play "Fair Play'' or read narrative text through an online link. Upon completion, participants took an Implicit Association Test to measure implicit bias and answered survey questions assessing empathy toward Jamal and awareness of bias. Results: As hypothesized, gameplayers showed the least implicit bias but only when they also showed high empathy for Jamal (P = 0.013). Gameplayers did not show greater empathy than text readers, and women in the text condition reported the greatest empathy for Jamal (P = 0.008). However, high empathy only predicted lower levels of implicit bias among those who actively took Jamal's perspective through gameplay (P = 0.014). Conclusions: A videogame in which players experience subtle race bias as a Black graduate student has the potential to reduce implicit bias, possibly because of a game's ability to foster empathy through active perspective taking.

TI Mortality Among Veterans with Transgender-Related Diagnoses in the Veterans Health Administration, FY2000-2009 SO LGBT HEALTH LA English DT Article DE mortality; suicide; transgender persons; veterans ID GENDER IDENTITY DISORDER; PSYCHIATRIC COMORBIDITY; SUICIDAL IDEATION; RISK BEHAVIORS; HIV PREVALENCE; UNITED-STATES; CARE; SYSTEM; TRANSSEXUALISM; PEOPLE AB Purpose: The aims of this project were to document all-cause and suicide mortality among Veteran Healthcare Administration (VHA) utilizers with The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis consistent with transgender status. Methods: The study population consisted of VHA patients identified as having any one of four diagnosis codes indicating transgender status (n = 5,117) gathered from the VA National Patient Care Database. Mortality data were gathered from the National Death Index from 2000-2009 for 1,277 veterans with transgender-related ICD-9-CM diagnoses. The remaining 3,840 were not searched because they had VHA utilization after 2009 (indicating they were alive). Person-time at risk (person-years) for crude rates were calculated based on the time from an individual's index diagnosis to either death or the end of FY 2009. Causes of death were categorized using ICD-10 code groups. Results: Approximately 9.3% (n = 309) veterans with transgender-related ICD-9-CM diagnoses died across the study period. Although diseases of the circulatory system and neoplasms were the first and second leading causes of death, respectively, the other ranked causes of mortality differed somewhat from patterns for the US during the same time span. The crude suicide rate among veterans with transgender-related ICD-9-CM diagnoses across the 10-year period was approximately 82/100,000 person-years, which approximated the crude suicide death rates for other serious mental illness in VHA (e.g., depression, schizophrenia). The average age of suicide decedents was 49.4 years. Conclusion: The crude suicide rate among veterans with transgender-related ICD-9-CM diagnoses is higher than in the general population, and they may be dying by suicide at younger ages than their veteran peers without transgender-related ICD-9-CM diagnoses. Future research, such as age-adjusted rates or accounting for psychiatric co-morbidities, will help to better clarify if the all-cause and suicide mortality rates are elevated for veterans with transgender-related ICD-9-CM diagnoses.

Novel interventions that address underlying psychosocial health problems are necessary for improving ART adherence to enhance HIV-related health outcomes and suppress HIV viral load in an effort to prevent transmission to uninfected partners. This brief review describes the mental health problems and specific substances that pose the greatest threat to medication adherence among MSM and summarizes findings from recent intervention trials that simultaneously address ART adherence and comorbid psychosocial factors among HIV-infected MSM.

SO ANNALS OF PLASTIC SURGERY LA English DT Article ID ALLODERM PERFORMANCE; SURGERY; COMPLICATIONS; IRRADIATION; INFECTION AB Background Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has become a valuable tool in reconstructive breast surgery, in part because it has been considered to be a non-reactive and non-immunogenic entity. However, some patients who undergo breast reconstruction with ADMs develop postoperative erythema overlying their ADM grafts. The etiology of this phenomenon is poorly understood. Methods In this article, we summarize clinical cases in which patients developed localized breast erythema following reconstruction with ADMs. We review what is known about postoperative breast erythema after ADM-based breast reconstructions and the possible antigenicity of biologic mesh implants. Results We report 4 implant-based breast reconstruction patients who developed erythematous reactions overlying the region where ADM was placed: one demonstrated a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction on punch biopsy of the affected skin, leading to removal of the biologic product; 2 others had a similar clinical presentation that responded to corticosteroids without removal of the biologic material, with 1 patient experiencing recrudescence of erythema that responded fully to a second course of corticosteroids; and a fourth showed erythema that was only moderately responsive to antibiotic therapy but which improved consistently after the patient initiated chemotherapy. Conclusion We propose that the etiology of erythema overlying ADM grafts, and the so-called red breast syndrome, may in some patients be a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to the ADM product. Affected patients may benefit from treatment with corticosteroids or similar medications, and that such treatment may, in some cases, enable patients to retain the ADM grafts and enable salvage of the reconstructed breast.

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with lower depression symptom severity but the uniformity of effect through pregnancy and postpartum periods is unknown. Methods: We analyzed prospective data from 447 HIV-infected women (18-49 years) initiating ART in rural Uganda (2005-2012). Participants completed blood work and comprehensive questionnaires quarterly. Pregnancy status was assessed by self-report. Analysis time periods were defined as currently pregnant, postpartum (012 months post-pregnancy outcome), or non-pregnancy-related. Depression symptom severity was measured using a modified Hopkins Symptom Checklist 15, with scores ranging from 1 to 4. Probable depression was defined as >1.75. Linear regression with generalized estimating equations was used to compare mean depression scores over the 3 periods. Results: At enrollment, median age was 32 years (interquartile range: 27-37), median CD4 count was 160 cells per cubic millimeter (interquartile range: 95-245), and mean depression score was 1.75 (s = 0.58) (39% with probable depression). Over 4.1 median years of follow-up, 104 women experienced 151 pregnancies. Mean depression scores did not differ across the time periods (P = 0.75). Multivariable models yielded similar findings. Increasing time on ART, viral suppression, better physical health, and "never married" were independently associated with lower mean depression scores. Findings were consistent when assessing probable depression. Conclusions: Although the lack of association between depression and perinatal periods is reassuring, high depression prevalence at treatment initiation and continued incidence across pregnancy and non-pregnancy-related periods of follow-up highlight the critical need for mental health services for HIV-infected women to optimize both maternal and perinatal health.

TI Lost Opportunities to Reduce Periconception HIV Transmission: Safer Conception Counseling By South African Providers Addresses Perinatal but not Sexual HIV Transmission SO JAIDS-JOURNAL OF ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROMES LA English DT Article DE safer conception; client-provider communication; HIV prevention; South Africa ID REPRODUCTIVE DECISION-MAKING; ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY; DISCORDANT COUPLES; SERODISCORDANT COUPLES; FERTILITY INTENTIONS; INFECTED INDIVIDUALS; PROSPECTIVE COHORT; RISK BEHAVIOR; WOMEN; MEN AB Introduction: Safer conception strategies create opportunities for HIV-serodiscordant couples to realize fertility goals and minimize periconception HIV transmission. Patient-provider communication about fertility goals is the first step in safer conception counseling. Methods: We explored provider practices of assessing fertility intentions among HIV-infected men and women, attitudes toward people living with HIV (PLWH) having children, and knowledge and provision of safer conception advice. We conducted in-depth interviews (9 counselors, 15 nurses, 5 doctors) and focus group discussions (6 counselors, 7 professional nurses) in eThekwini District, South Africa. Data were translated, transcribed, and analyzed using content analysis with NVivo10 software. Results: Among 42 participants, median age was 41 (range, 28-60) years, 93% (39) were women, and median years worked in the clinic was 7 (range, 1-27). Some providers assessed women's, not men's, plans for having children at antiretroviral therapy initiation, to avoid fetal exposure to efavirenz. When conducted, reproductive counseling included CD4 cell count and HIV viral load assessment, advising mutual HIV status disclosure, and referral to another provider. Barriers to safer conception counseling included provider assumptions of HIV seroconcordance, low knowledge of safer conception strategies, personal feelings toward PLWH having children, and challenges to tailoring safer sex messages. Conclusions: Providers need information about HIV serodiscordance and safer conception strategies to move beyond discussing only perinatal transmission and maternal health for PLWH who choose to conceive. Safer conception counseling may be more feasible if the message is distilled to delaying conception attempts until the infected partner is on antiretroviral therapy. Designated and motivated nurse providers may be required to provide comprehensive safer conception counseling.

The molecular mechanisms regulating reproductive senescence and its association with the aging of somatic cells remain poorly understood. From a full genome RNA interference (RNAi) screen, we identified 32 Caenorhabditis elegans gene inactivations that delay reproductive senescence and extend reproductive lifespan. We found that many of these gene inactivations interact with insulin/IGF-1 and/or TGF-beta endocrine signaling pathways to regulate reproductive senescence, except nhx-2 and sgk-1 that modulate sodium reabsorption. Of these 32 gene inactivations, we also found that 19 increase reproductive lifespan through their effects on oocyte activities, 8 of them coordinate oocyte and sperm functions to extend reproductive lifespan, and 5 of them can induce sperm humoral response to promote reproductive longevity. Furthermore, we examined the effects of these reproductive aging regulators on somatic aging. We found that 5 of these gene inactivations prolong organismal lifespan, and 20 of them increase healthy life expectancy of an organism without altering total life span. These studies provide a systemic view on the genetic regulation of reproductive senescence and its intersection with organism longevity. The majority of these newly identified genes are conserved, and may provide new insights into age-associated reproductive senescence during human aging.

TI Validating Electronic Cancer Quality Measures at Veterans Health Administration SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MANAGED CARE LA English DT Article ID SURGERY REPORT CARDS; MEDICAL-RECORDS; PROSTATE-CANCER; CLINICAL-DATA; PERFORMANCE; DELIVERY; VALIDITY; AFFAIRS; REFORM AB Objectives To assess the feasibility and validity of developing electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) of cancer care quality from existing metrics, using electronic health records, administrative, and cancer registry data. Study Design Retrospective comparison of quality indicators using chart abstracted versus electronically available data from multiple sources. Methods We compared the sensitivity and specificity of eCQMs created from structured data from electronic health records (EHRs) linked to administrative and cancer registry data to data abstracted from patients' electronic health records. Twenty-nine measures of care were assessed in 15,394 patients with either incident lung or prostate cancer from 2007 and 2008, respectively, and who were treated in the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA). Results It was feasible to develop eCQMs for 11 of 18 (61%) lung cancer measures, 4 (22%) of which were considered to be valid measures of the care constructs. Among prostate cancer measures, 6 of 11 (55%) were feasible, and 4 (36%) were both feasible and valid. Of the 29 metrics, data was available to create eCQMs for 17 (59%) cancer care metrics, and 8 (28%) were considered valid. Conclusions In a large integrated healthcare system with nationally standardized electronic health records, administrative, and cancer registry data, 28% of cancer quality measures developed for chart abstraction could be translated into valid eCQMs. These results raise much concern about the development of electronic clinical quality measures for cancer care, particularly in healthcare environments where data are disparate in both form and location C1 [Antonio, AnnaLiza] VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare Syst, Los Angeles, CA USA.

With the recent approval of disease-modifying agents, the appropriate timing of allogeneic HSCT needs to be addressed. Similarly, the optimal use of these disease-modifying agents before HSCT needs to be determined. In severe aplastic anemia, HSCT is a proven cure, but HLA-matched sibling donors are found in fewer than 25% of newly diagnosed patients. The use of early unrelated donor HSCT is an evolving concept that will become more accepted as improvements in HSCT outcomes continue.

Both normal GCs and neoplastic follicles of FL also contain non-neoplastic cells (microenvironment) that influence and are influenced by the GC and FL B cells and are likely important for tumor cell survival. Many insights into the nature of the GC/FL microenvironment have come from morphologic and immunophenotypic analysis, both before and after the discoveries from gene expression profiling.

With this success has come increasing recognition of the adverse late effects of treatment. The significant long-term sequelae in the earliest cohort of long-term survivors treated in the 1970s and 1980s are well documented. To reduce the incidence of these late effects, the majority of pediatric patients treated on more contemporary regimens receive less intensive treatment than did those treated 30-40 years ago. However, current therapies are not risk free; children treated with contemporary regimens remain at risk for developing long-term toxicities, including cardiac dysfunction, osteonecrosis, neurocognitive impairment, and second malignant neoplasms. One of the great challenges facing clinical investigators today is to identify interventions that will reduce the frequency and severity of long-term toxicities without adversely affecting cure rates. The use of dexrazoxane as a cardioprotectant (to prevent anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity) and alternate-week dosing of dexamethasone (to reduce the risk of osteonecrosis) are examples of 2 such successful strategies. This article provides an overview of the long-term toxicities associated with current therapies and reviews results of clinical trials designed to minimize the burden of cure in long-term survivors.

SO HEMATOLOGY-AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HEMATOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAM LA English DT Article ID STEM-CELL TRANSPLANTATION; HIGH-DOSE THERAPY; THALIDOMIDE PLUS DEXAMETHASONE; RANDOMIZED PHASE-3; AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANTATION; STANDARD CHEMOTHERAPY; CONSOLIDATION THERAPY; INDUCTION TREATMENT; INITIAL TREATMENT; ELIGIBLE PATIENTS AB For the last 20 years, high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for multiple myeloma has been considered a standard frontline treatment for younger patients with adequate organ function. With the introduction of novel agents, specifically thalidomide, bortezomib, and lenalidomide, the role of ASCT has changed in several ways. First, novel agents have been incorporated successfully as induction regimens, increasing the response rate before ASCT, and are now being used as part of both consolidation and maintenance with the goal of extending progression-free and overall survival. These approaches have shown considerable promise with significant improvements in outcome. Furthermore, the efficacy of novel therapeutics has also led to the investigation of these agents upfront without the immediate application of ASCT, and compelling preliminary results have been reported. Next-generation novel agents and the use of monoclonal antibodies have raised the possibility of not only successful salvage strategies to facilitate delayed transplantation for younger patients, but also the prospect of an nontransplantation approach achieving the same outcome. Moreover, this could be achieved without incurring acute toxicity or long-term complications that are inherent to high-dose alkylation, and melphalan exposure in particular. At present, the role of ASCT has therefore become an area of debate: should it be used upfront in all eligible patients, or should it be used as a salvage treatment at the time of progression for patients achieving a high quality of response with initial therapy? There is a clear need to derive a consensus that is useful for clinicians considering both protocol-directed and non-protocol-directed options for their patients. Participation in ongoing prospective randomized trials is considered vital. While preliminary randomized data from studies in Europe favor early ASCT with novel agents, differences in both agents and the combinations used, as well as limited information on overall survival and benefit for specific patient subsets, suggest that one size does not fit all. Specifically, the optimal approach to treatment of younger patients eligible for ASCT remains a key area for further research. A rigid approach to its use outside of a clinical study is difficult to justify and participation in prospective studies should be a priority.

It is a prodrug requiring biotransformation into the active metabolite by the hepatic cytochrome 450 system, especially the CYP2C19 enzyme. Candidate gene studies and genome-wide association studies have identified loss-of-function CYP2C19 variants to be associated with a diminished pharmacologic response. Specifically, compared with noncarriers, carriers of at least one copy of a loss-of-function CYP2C19 allele have similar to 30% lower levels of active clopidogrel metabolite and similar to 25% relatively less platelet inhibition with clopidogrel. Moreover, in patients treated with clopidogrel predominantly for percutaneous coronary intervention, carriers of 1 or 2 CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles are at increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular outcomes, with an similar to 1.5-fold increase in the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke as well as an similar to 3-fold increase in risk for stent thrombosis. Tripling the dose of clopidogrel in carriers of a CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele can achieve on-treatment platelet reactivity comparable to that seen with the standard 75 mg dose in wild-type individuals, but the impact on clinical outcomes remains unknown. Alternatively, 2 third-generation P2Y(12) inhibitors are available: prasugrel and ticagrelor. These drugs are superior to clopidogrel in reducing ischemic outcomes and are unaffected by CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles.

In recent years, numerous alternatives to VKAs have been developed, the target-specific oral anticoagulants (TSOACs), which are available in clinical practice. Currently available agents target thrombin and factor Xa. The most significant side effect of these agents, as with VKAs, is the development of bleeding complications. In this review, the risks of major bleeding complications with the TSOACs will be discussed. Data from meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and observational studies will be used to highlight bleeding complications associated with TSOACs and warfarin. We highlight the most common causes of major bleeding, GI and intracranial hemorrhage. C1 [Levine, Michael] Univ So Calif, Sect Med Toxicol, Dept Emergency Med, Los Angeles, CA USA.

Despite the great promise initially envisioned for DLI as a method to augment GVL after transplantation, it utility is limited by low response rates in diseases other than chronic myelogenous leukemia and by the development of GVHD, the principal complication of DLI. To maximize GVL potency while minimizing toxicity, cellular effectors active in GVL need to be elucidated. Insight into mechanisms of GVL, such as reversal of in situ T-cell exhaustion, may allow identification of patients who will respond to DLI based on the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the BM. Understanding the clinical factors that influence the effectiveness and abrogate the toxicity of DLI, such as cell dose and timing of DLI after transplantation, will allow further optimization of DLI. This chapter reviews novel strategies that maximize the GVL effect of DLI by enhancing activity while limiting toxicity.

Results and conclusions Multimorbidity and chronic disease are the end results of ongoing perturbations and interconnected activities of simpler substructures that collectively constitute the complex adaptive superstructure known as us, the person or patient. Medical interventions cause perturbations of many different subsystems within the patient, hence they are not limited to the person's bodily function, but also affect his general health perception and his interactions with his external environments. Changes in these domains inevitably have consequences on body function, and close the feedback loop of illness/disease, recovery and regained health.

It is composed of very simple step elements. Adapted tango involves movement initiation and cessation, multi-directional perturbations, varied speeds and rhythms. Focus on foot placement, whole body coordination, and attention to partner, path of movement, and aesthetics likely underlie adapted tango's demonstrated efficacy for improving mobility and balance. In this paper, we describe the methodology to disseminate the adapted tango teaching methods to dance instructor trainees and to implement the adapted tango by the trainees in the community for older adults and individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Efficacy in improving mobility (measured with the Timed Up and Go, Tandem stance, Berg Balance Scale, Gait Speed and 30 sec chair stand), safety and fidelity of the program is maximized through targeted instructor and volunteer training and a structured detailed syllabus outlining class practices and progression.

Existing conventional assays allow the analysis of leukocyte adhesion molecules only after the extraction of leukocytes from the blood. This requires the blood to undergo several steps before peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) can be ready for analysis, which in turn can stimulate PBLs influencing the research findings. The autoperfused micro flow chamber assay, however, allows scientists to study early leukocytes functional dysregulation using the systemic flow of a live mouse while having the freedom of manipulating a coated chamber. Through a disease model, the functional expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules can be assessed and quantified in a micro-glass chamber coated with immobilized endothelial adhesion molecules ex vivo. In this model, the blood flows between the right common carotid artery and left external jugular vein of a live mouse under anesthesia, allowing the interaction of native PBLs in the chamber. Real-time experimental analysis is achieved with the assistance of an intravital microscope as well as a Harvard Apparatus pressure device. The application of a flow regulator at the input point of the glass chamber allows comparable physiological flow conditions amongst the experiments. Leukocyte rolling velocity is the main outcome and is measured using the National Institutes of Health open-access software ImageJ. In summary, the autoperfused micro flow chamber assay provides an optimal physiological environment to study leukocytes endothelial interaction and allows researchers to draw accurate conclusions when studying inflammation.

More recently, allograft cell transplantation protocols have been developed that permit engraftment of normal and malignant cells into irradiated, syngeneic, and immune compromised adult zebrafish. These models when coupled with optimized cell transplantation protocols allow for the rapid assessment of stem cell function, regeneration following injury, and cancer. Here, we present a method for cell transplantation of zebrafish adult skeletal muscle and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), a pediatric sarcoma that shares features with embryonic muscle, into immune compromised adult rag2(E450fs) homozygous mutant zebrafish. Importantly, these animals lack T cells and have reduced B cell function, facilitating engraftment of a wide range of tissues from unrelated donor animals. Our optimized protocols show that fluorescently labeled muscle cell preparations from alpha-actin-RFP transgenic zebrafish engraft robustly when implanted into the dorsal musculature of rag2 homozygous mutant fish. We also demonstrate engraftment of fluorescent-transgenic ERMS where fluorescence is confined to cells based on differentiation status. Specifically, ERMS were created in AB-strain myf5-GFP; mylpfa-mCherry double transgenic animals and tumors injected into the peritoneum of adult immune compromised fish. The utility of these protocols extends to engraftment of a wide range of normal and malignant donor cells that can be implanted into dorsal musculature or peritoneum of adult zebrafish.

Besides the significant impact on quality of life, upper airway impairments can have life-threatening or life-altering consequences. The authors evaluated improvements in functional airway after face transplantation. Methods: Between 2009 and 2011, four patients underwent face transplantation at the authors' institution, the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Patients were examined preoperatively and postoperatively and their records reviewed for upper airway infections and sleeping disorders. The nasal mucosa was biop-sied after face transplantation and analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. Volumetric imaging software was used to evaluate computed tomographic scans of the upper airway and assess airway volume changes before and after transplantation. Results: Before transplantation, two patients presented an exposed naked nasal cavity and two suffered from occlusion of the nasal passage. Two patients required tracheostomy tubes and one had a prosthetic nose. Sleeping disorders were seen in three patients, and chronic cough was diagnosed in one. After transplantation, there was no significant improvement in sleeping disorders. The incidence of sinusitis increased because of mechanical interference of the donor septum and disappeared after surgical correction. All patients were decannulated after transplantation and were capable of nose breathing. Scanning electron micrographs of the respiratory mucosa revealed viable tissue capable of mucin production. Airway volume significantly increased in all patients. Conclusions: Face transplantation successfully restored the upper airway in four patients. Unhindered nasal breathing, viable respiratory mucosa, and a significant increase in airway volume contributed to tracheostomy decannulation.

SO MILITARY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID BARRIERS; CARE; AFGHANISTAN; IRAQ; LEADERSHIP; VETERANS; VALIDITY AB Objectives: Prior research on mental health stigma in military personnel has been cross-sectional. We prospectively examined the course of perceived mental health stigma in a cohort of deployed U. S. combat Marines. Methods: Participants (N = 768) were assessed 1 month before a 7-month deployment to Afghanistan, and again at 1, 5, and 8 months postdeployment. We also examined three predictors of the course of stigma: post-traumatic stress disorder symptom severity, vertical and horizontal unit cohesion, and mental health treatment utilization while deployed. Results: Perceptions of stigma remained largely stable across the deployment cycle, with latent growth curve analyses revealing a statistically significant but small decrease in stigma over time. Lower post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and greater perceived vertical and horizontal support predicted decreases in stigma over time, whereas mental health treatment utilization in theater did not predict the course of stigma. Conclusions: Perceived stigma was low and largely stable over time. C1 [Steenkamp, Maria M.; Boasso, Alyssa M.; Litz, Brett T.] VA Boston Healthcare Syst, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 USA.

TI Flap reconstruction for soft-tissue defects with exposed hardware following deep infection after internal fixation of ankle fractures SO INJURY-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE CARE OF THE INJURED LA English DT Article DE Ankle fracture; Infection; Flap reconstruction; Health-related quality of life ID PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY; VACUUM-ASSISTED CLOSURE; BREVIS MUSCLE FLAP; LOWER-EXTREMITY TRAUMA; FAILED FREE FLAPS; PERONEUS BREVIS; LOWER LEG; SCORING SCALE; COVERAGE; MANAGEMENT AB The aim of the present study was to determine the outcome for patients treated with flap reconstruction following deep ankle fracture infection with exposed hardware. Out of 3041 consecutive ankle fracture operations in 3030 patients from 2006 to 2011, we identified 56 patients requiring flap reconstruction following deep infection. Thirty-two of these patients could be examined at a follow-up visit. Olerud-Molander Ankle (OMA) score, 15D score, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and clinical examination were used to assess the outcome. A total of 58 flap reconstructions were performed in 56 patients with a mean age of 57 years (range 25-93 years) and mean follow-up time of 52 months. The most commonly used reconstruction was a distally based peroneus brevis muscle flap with a split-thickness skin graft. A microvascular free flap was required in only one patient. 22 (39%) patients required subsequent surgical interventions because of a flap-related complication. With flap reconstruction, hardware could eventually be salvaged in 53% of patients with a non-consolidated fracture. The mean OMA score was fair or poor in 53% of the patients, and only 56% had recovered their pre-injury level of function. Half of the patients had shoe wear limitations. The 15D score showed a significantly poorer health-related quality of life compared to an age-standardised sample of the general population. The mean pain NRS was 2.1 (range 0-6), and the mean satisfaction NRS was 6.6 (range 0-10). Our study showed that successful treatment of a soft-tissue defect with exposed hardware following ankle fracture infections can be achieved with local flaps. Despite eventual reconstructive success, complications are common. Patients perceive a poorer health-related quality of life, have shoe wear limitations, and only half of them achieve their pre-injury level of function. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a subset of biomechanical studies comparing fixation constructs just document common sense. Methods: Using a web-based survey, 274 orthopaedic surgeons and 81 medical students predicted the results of 11 biomechanical studies comparing fracture fixation constructs (selected based on the authors' sense that the answer was obvious prior to performing the study). Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated according to standard formulas. The agreement among the observers was calculated by using a multirater kappa, described by Siegel and Castellan. Results: The accuracy of predicting outcomes was 80% or greater for 10 of 11 studies. Accuracy was not influenced by level of experience (i.e., time in practice and medical students vs. surgeons). There were substantial differences in accuracy between observers from different regions. The overall categorical rating of inter-observer reliability according to Landis and Koch was moderate (kappa = 0.55; standard error (SE) = 0.01). Conclusion: The results of a subset of biomechanical studies comparing fracture fixation constructs can be predicted prior to doing the study. As these studies are time and resource intensive, one criterion for proceeding with a biomechanical study should be that the answer is not simply a matter of common sense. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

A 35-year-old female inpatient with an optic chiasm glioma and ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus developed acute hyponatremia (sodium 122 mEq/L) perhaps coinciding with haloperidol treatment. The sum of her urinary sodium and potassium concentrations was markedly hypertonic vis-a-vis plasma; it was inferred that serum sodium concentration would continue to fall even in the complete absence of fluid intake. Intravenous (IV) 3% NaCl was recommended; however, a city-wide public health emergency precluded her transfer to the ICU. She was treated with hourly oral NaCl tablets in a dose calculated to deliver the equivalent of 0.5 mL/kg/h of 3% NaCl with an objective of increasing the serum sodium concentration by 6 mEq/L. She experienced a graded and predictable increase in serum sodium concentration. A slight overshoot to 129 mEq/L was rapidly corrected with 0.25 l of D5W, and she stabilized at 127 mEq/L. We conclude that hourly oral NaCl, in conjunction with careful monitoring of the serum sodium concentration, may provide an attractive alternative to IV 3% NaCl for selected patients with severe hyponatremia.

Methods: PubMed was searched (1966-2014) using the terms multiple sclerosis, treatment, interferon, glatiramer acetate, dimethyl fumarate, fingolimod, teri-flunomide, natalizumab, rituximab, and alemtuzumab. Findings: MS is a chronic neurological disorder that can cause a substantial degree of disability. Because of its usual onset in young adults, patients may require treatment for several decades. Currently available agents include platform injectable therapies, newer oral agents, and second-line monoclonal antibody treatments. Treatment decisions have become more complex with the introduction of new approaches, and a major goal is to balance perceived efficacy and tolerability in a specific patient with the relative impact of disease activity and adverse events on quality of life. Here the options for disease-modifying treatments for relapsing forms of MS are reviewed, and current and future challenges are discussed. Implications: An evidence-based approach can be used for the selection of disease-modifying treatments based on disease phenotype and severity, adverse events, and perceived efficacy.

Psychosocial risk factors are associated with poor outcomes in CP/CPPS, but have not been examined for their intervening roles between pain and reduced quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to determine if psychosocial risk factors (i.e., patient coping and catastrophizing) mediate the association between pain and QoL. Methods: Using a cross sectional design, 175 men with CP/CPPS (mean age 46.83; SD 10.86) were recruited from tertiary care urology clinics and completed questionnaires on demographics, pain, QoL, pain coping, depression, and catastrophizing. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted and aggregate factor scores were examined to improve the amount of meaningful measurement to be used in multiple mediations. The models specified multiple risk factors as mechanisms between pain and both physical and mental QoL as the primary outcome measurements. Results: Four aggregate psychosocial factor scores were produced from the psychosocial measures (i.e., illness and wellness-focused behavioural coping, depression and catastrophizing). Illnessfocused coping partially mediated the relationship between pain and physical QoL. However, catastrophizing and illness-focused coping fully mediated the relation between pain and mental QoL, showing the association between pain and mental QoL was no longer significant when catastrophizing and illness-focused coping were in the model. Conclusion: Psychosocial factors function as mechanisms between higher pain and they are associated diminished mental QoL. These results introduce illness-focused coping as an important biopsychosocial target in CP/CPPS management. C1 [Krsmanovic, Adrijana; Tripp, Dean A.; Nickel, J.

TI Stable synthetic mono-substituted cationic bacteriochlorins mediate selective broad-spectrum photoinactivation of drug-resistant pathogens at nanomolar concentrations SO JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY ROLE; IN-VITRO; PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES; STAPHYLOCOCCUS-AUREUS; CANDIDA-ALBICANS; CENTRAL METAL; PHOTOSENSITIZERS; OXYGEN; INFECTIONS; CELLS AB Three stable synthetic mono-substituted cationic bacteriochlorins (BC37, BC38 and BC39) were recently reported to show exceptional activity (low nanomolar) in mediating photodynamic killing of human cancer cells after a 24 h incubation upon excitation with near-infrared light (730 nm). The presence of cationic quaternary ammonium groups in each compound suggested likely activity as antimicrobial photosensitizers. Herein this hypothesis was tested against a panel of pathogenic microorganisms that have all recently drawn attention due to increased drug-resistance (Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis; Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baumannii; and fungal yeasts, Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans). All three bacteriochlorins were highly effective against both Gram-positive species (>6 logs of eradication at <= 200 nM and 10 J/cm(2)). The dicationic bacteriochlorin (BC38) was best against the Gram-negative species (>6 logs at 1-2 mu M) whereas the lipophilic monocationic bacteriochlorin (BC39) was best against the fungi (>6 logs at 1 mu M). The bacteriochlorins produced substantial singlet oxygen (and apparently less Type-1 reactive-oxygen species such as hydroxyl radical) as judged by activation of fluorescent probes and comparison with 1H-phenalen-l-one-2-sulfonic acid; the order of activity was BC37 > BC38 > BC39. A short incubation time (30 min) resulted in selectivity for microbial cells over HeLa human cells. The highly active photodynamic inactivation of microbial cells may stem from the amphiphilic and cationic features of the bacteriochlorins. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Neuroticism prospectively predicts pain among adolescents: Results from a nationally representative sample SO JOURNAL OF PSYCHOSOMATIC RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Pain; Neuroticism; Adolescents ID PROTECTIVE PARENTAL RESPONSES; EMOTIONAL DISORDERS; FREQUENCY; DISABILITY; SEVERITY; PATTERNS; CHILDREN AB Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the prospective relationship of neuroticism to frequency of headaches and stomachaches in adolescents. Methods: Participants were 3,676 adolescents sampled from Wave 1 (mean age 16) and Wave 2 (mean age 17) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (i.e., Add Health), a comprehensive, nationally representative, longitudinal data set. Binary variables were created to isolate participants who reported high versus low/medium frequency of pain. Subsequently, Wave 2 pain variables were modeled based on Wave 1 neuroticism, controlling for Wave 1 pain and demographics. Results: Elevated neuroticism at Wave I prospectively predicted increased odds of high frequency of headaches (odds ratio = 1.4,95% Cl [1.2, 1.8], p =.001) and stomachaches at Wave 2 (odds ratio = 1.5, 95% Cl [1.1, 2.01, p =.004). Conclusions: This is the first known study to examine and find evidence for the prospective relationship between neuroticism and pain among a nationally representative sample of adolescents. Results indicated that after controlling for baseline pain, elevated neuroticism longitudinally predicted increased odds of high frequency of pain, one year later. Given recent advances in treatment for neuroticism, clinicians should be aware of these relationships and incorporate multidisciplinary treatments in the care of adolescents who experience high levels of pain.

The prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mobility limitations is high among older adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between MCI status and both performance-based and self-report measures of mobility in community-dwelling older adults. Methods. An analysis was conducted on baseline data from the Boston Rehabilitative Impairment Study in the Elderly study, a cohort study of 430 primary care patients aged 65 or older. Neuropsychological tests identified participants with MCI and further subclassified those with impairment in memory domains (aMCI), nonmemory domains (naMCI), and multiple domains (mdMCI). Linear regression models were used to assess the association between MCI status and mobility performance in the Habitual Gait Speed, Figure of 8 Walk, Short Physical Performance Battery, and self-reported Late Life Function and Disability Instrument's Basic Lower Extremity and Advanced Lower Extremity function scales. Results. Participants had a mean age of 76.6 years, and 42% were characterized with MCI. Participants with MCI performed significantly worse than participants without MCI (No-MCI) on all performance and self-report measures (p < .01). All MCI sub-types performed significantly worse than No-MCI on all mobility measures (p < .05) except for aMCI versus No-MCI on the Figure of 8 Walk (p = .054) and Basic Lower Extremity (p = .11). Moreover, compared with aMCI, mdMCI manifested worse performance on the Figure of 8 Walk and Short Physical Performance Battery, and naMCI manifested worse performance on Short Physical Performance Battery and Basic Lower Extremity. Conclusions. Among older community-dwelling primary care patients, performance on a broad range of mobility measures was worse among those with MCI, appearing poorest among those with nonmemory MCI.

TI Minimally invasive esophagectomy and its current role in esophageal cancer SO MINERVA CHIRURGICA LA English DT Article DE Esophagus; Esophagectomy; Surgical procedures; minimally invasive; Morbidity; Mortality ID IVOR-LEWIS ESOPHAGECTOMY; OUTCOMES; MORTALITY; VOLUME AB The incidence of esophageal cancer has increased over the previous 4 decades. In 2014 alone, it is estimated that there will be 18,000 patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and 15,000 deaths from the disease. Esophagectomy, most commonly with adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation to treat locoregional spread, is the primary vehicle to offer patients cure. Open approaches (transthoracic Ivor Lewis, transhiatal, left thoracoabdominal, and 'three phase' McKeown esophagectomy) have been the most common, and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. With this morbidity in mind, minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) has gained enthusiasm from the surgical community as an approach to minimize post-operative morbidity without sacrificing long-term outcomes. In this article, we review the basic steps of the three major approaches to MIE. We also review the recent data which supports the surgical field's growing enthusiasm for this approach to esophageal cancer. Based on our review of current data, we conclude that patients undergoing MIE have improved short-term outcomes with regard to morbidity and quality of life, with no adverse effects of the quality of oncologic resection.

Methods: Twenty-one non-demented PD subjects and 21 neurologically healthy controls were administered widely used clinical executive functioning measures as well as the NIH EXAMINER battery, which produces Cognitive Control, Working Memory, and Verbal Fluency scores, along with an overall Executive Composite score, using psychometrically matched scales. Results: No significant differences between groups were observed on widely used clinical measures. The PD patients scored lower than controls on the EXAMINER Executive Composite, Cognitive Control, and Working Memory Scores. Conclusions: The NIH EXAMINER Executive Composite and Cognitive Control Scores are sensitive measures of executive dysfunction in non-demented PD, and may be more sensitive than several widely used measures. Results highlight the importance of careful test selection when evaluating for mild cognitive impairment in PD. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Venous and arterial thromboembolic events and rarely hemorrhage are complications of chemotherapy and, more recently, of molecular targeted therapy in patients with solid and hematologic malignancies. This article will use a drug-based approach to illustrate, with examples, vessel damage and end-organ damage induced by molecular targeted therapy and chemotherapy in cancer patients and will provide a clinical perspective. CONCLUSION. Imaging plays a key role in the detection of complications of cancer therapies. A high index of suspicion and an awareness of modern-day drug toxicities are key to the early diagnosis and management of these complications.

Traditional vasculogenesis has many contradictions related to treatment and imaging. This occurs because cancer also uses glycolysis, which does not need oxygen or arteries. Glycolytic lactate supports many procancer processes but high levels of it inhibit glycolysis. CONCLUSION. To avoid this, lactate induces vascular growth factors that initiate glycolytic vasculogenesis ALPHA (acidic lactate sequentially induces first lymphangiogenesis, phlebogenesis, and then arteriogenesis). The sequence of vessel development is lymphatics, veins, and then arteries. Modern contrast imaging depends more on veins than arteries, which is more consistent with ALPHA than the traditional theory.

The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of radiation-induced cancer risks in patients with Bosniak category IIF lesions undergoing CT versus MRI surveillance. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We developed a Markov-Monte Carlo model to determine life expectancy losses attributable to radiation-induced cancers in hypothetical patients undergoing CT versus MRI surveillance of Bosniak IIF lesions. Our model tracked hypothetical patients as they underwent imaging surveillance for up to 5 years, accounting for potential lesion progression and treatment. Estimates of radiation-induced cancer mortality were generated using a published organ-specific radiation-risk model based on Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation VII methods. The model also incorporated surgical mortality and renal cancer-specific mortality. Our primary outcome was life expectancy loss attributable to radiation-induced cancers. A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the stability of the results with variability in key parameters. RESULTS. The mean number of examinations per patient was 6.3. In the base case, assuming 13 mSv per multiphase CT examination, 64-year-old men experienced an average life expectancy decrease of 5.5 days attributable to radiation-induced cancers from CT; 64-year-old women experienced a corresponding life expectancy loss of 6.9 days. The results were most sensitive to patient age: Life expectancy loss attributable to radiation-induced cancers increased to 21.6 days in 20-year-old women and 20.0 days in 20-year-old men. Varied assumptions of each modality's (CT vs MRI) depiction of lesion complexity also impacted life expectancy losses. CONCLUSION. Microsimulation modeling shows that radiation-induced cancer risks from CT surveillance for Bosniak IIF lesions minimally affect life expectancy. However, as progressively younger patients are considered, increasing radiation risks merit stronger consideration of MRI surveillance.

TI Lobar Microbleeds Are Associated with a Decline in Executive Functioning in Older Adults SO CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASES LA English DT Article DE Microbleeds; Cognition; Cerebral amyloid angiopathy; MRI; Longitudinal design ID CEREBRAL AMYLOID ANGIOPATHY; SMALL VESSEL DISEASE; COGNITIVE FUNCTION; ALZHEIMER-DISEASE; CARIBBEAN HISPANICS; NORTHERN MANHATTAN; AFRICAN-AMERICANS; BRAIN MICROBLEEDS; ROTTERDAM SCAN; IMPAIRMENT AB Background: Normal aging is associated with a decline in cognitive abilities, particularly in the domains of psychomotor speed and executive functioning. However, 'aging,' per se, is not a cause of cognitive decline but rather a variable that likely captures multiple accumulating biological changes over time that collectively affect mental abilities. Recent work has focused on the role of cerebrovascular disease as one of the biological changes. In the current study, we examined whether lobar microbleeds - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal voids due to hemosiderin deposits secondary to cerebral amyloid angiopathy - are associated with cognitive decline in normal aging. Previous studies that reported a relationship between the presence of lobar microbleeds and decreased cognitive abilities have been primarily cross-sectional. Here, we used a retrospective longitudinal design to examine whether the presence of lobar microbleeds is associated with the rate of cognitive decline among non-demented older adults. Methods: Participants came from an ongoing longitudinal community-based aging study, in which subjects are evaluated at 18-24 months intervals and received a full medical, neurological, and neuropsychological examination at each of the follow-up visits. Gradient echo MRI scans were available on 197 non-demented participants (mean age: 84.15 +/- 5.02 years). Microbleeds were rated visually on axial view and divided into subcortical (basal ganglia, cerebellum) and lobar (frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital lobe) regions, and confirmed with coronal and sagittal views to exclude artifacts. Cognition was assessed with a neuropsychological battery, providing summary scores for memory, language, executive, and visuospatial abilities. Using general estimating equations (GEE), we compared cognition cross-sectionally between individuals with 2 or more (n = 11) and fewer than 2 (n = 186) lobar microbleeds and examined longitudinal cognitive change beginning 9.47 +/- 3.13 years before the MRI scan. Results: Subjects with 2 or more lobar microbleeds had worse executive functioning at the visit closest to the MRI scan (beta = -0.044; p < 0.001) and had a faster decline in executive function over time (beta = -0.072; p = 0.012) than subjects with fewer than 2 lobar microbleeds. The two groups were similar in age at scan date, education, ethnicity, sex distribution, and cognitive performance at first visit. Conclusions: Lobar microbleeds, a marker of cerebral amyloid angiopathy, are associated with an accelerated rate of executive function decline. The presence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy may be an important source of cognitive decline in aging. Future work should examine how cerebral amyloid angiopathy interacts with neurodegenerative processes, such as Alzheimer's disease. (C) 2014 S.

However, the limited ability of protein-based drugs to modulate intracellular targets, including many implicated by studies of the genetics and physiology of these diseases, and to coordinately neutralize redundant inflammatory cytokines, suggests an important and complementary role for small molecules in immunomodulatory drug development. The recent clinical approval of Janus kinase and phosphodiesterase inhibitors, along with emerging evidence from other compound classes, firmly establish small molecules as effective tools for modulating therapeutically relevant proteins that give rise to aberrant cytokine signaling or mediate its downstream consequences.

Methods: Interictal resting state fMRI was performed in 14 left TLE patients, 11 right TLE patients, and 12 controls. Graph theory analysis of 10 bilateral limbic regions of interest was conducted. Changes in edgewise functional connectivity, network topology, and regional topology were quantified, and then left and right TLE were compared. Results: Limbic edgewise functional connectivity was predominantly reduced in both left and right TLE. More regional connections were reduced in right TLE, most prominently involving reduced interhemispheric connectivity between the bilateral insula and bilateral hippocampi. A smaller number of limbic connections were increased in TLE, more so in left than in right TLE. Topologically, the most pronounced change was a reduction in average network betweenness centrality and concurrent increase in left hippocampal betweenness centrality in right TLE. In contrast, left TLE exhibited a weak trend toward increased right hippocampal betweenness centrality, with no change in average network betweenness centrality. Conclusion: Limbic functional connectivity is predominantly reduced in both left and right TLE, with more pronounced reductions in right TLE. In contrast, left TLE exhibits both edgewise and topological changes that suggest a tendency toward reorganization. Network changes in TLE and lateralized differences thereof may have important diagnostic and prognostic implications. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Dilated hearts at high altitude: Words from on high. High Alt Med Biol 15:511-519, 2014.From the time of the turn of the twentieth century, dilated hearts and presumed cardiac fatigue in expeditionary climbers and scientists have been the subject of much commentary in the medical and mountaineering literature. Although largely attributed by most, but not all, to left heart strain, the description of dilated hearts in these accounts is clearly that of right heart dilation as a consequence of high and sustained hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction with hypertensive remodeling. This essay will feature quotations from the writings of high altitude pioneers about dilated, strained, or enlarged hearts. It will give some brief physiology of the right side of the heart as background, but will focus on the words of mountaineers and mountaineering physicians as color commentary.

Of specific interest was finding evidence of a subgroup of SSD exhibiting performance consistent with atypical speech motor control. Method: Ninety-seven preschool children with SSD completed speech and nonspeech tasks. Fifty-three kinematic, acoustic, and behavioral measures from these tasks were input to SUBARP. Results: Two distinct subgroups were identified from the larger sample. The 1st subgroup (76%; population prevalence estimate = 67.8%-84.8%) did not have characteristics that would suggest atypical speech motor control. The 2nd subgroup (10.3%; population prevalence estimate = 4.3%-16.5%) exhibited significantly higher variability in measures of articulatory kinematics and poor ability to imitate iambic lexical stress, suggesting atypical speech motor control. Both subgroups were consistent with classes of SSD in the Speech Disorders Classification System (SDCS; Shriberg et al., 2010a). Conclusion: Characteristics of children in the larger subgroup were consistent with the proportionally large SDCS class termed speech delay; characteristics of children in the smaller subgroup were consistent with the SDCS subtype termed motor speech disorder-not otherwise specified. The authors identified candidate measures to identify children in each of these groups. C1 [Vick, Jennell C.] Case Western Reserve Univ, Cleveland, OH 44106 USA.

TI Does metabolic failure at the synapse cause Alzheimer's disease? SO MEDICAL HYPOTHESES LA English DT Article ID AMYLOID PRECURSOR PROTEIN; TRAUMATIC BRAIN-INJURY; LONG-TERM DEPRESSION; IN-VIVO; AXONAL-TRANSPORT; INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION; APOLIPOPROTEIN-E; NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES; TAU HYPERPHOSPHORYLATION; FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY AB Alzheimer's disease (AD) a neurodegenerative disorder of widely distributed cortical networks evolves over years while A beta (A beta) oligomer neurotoxicity occurs within seconds to minutes. This disparity combined with disappointing outcomes of anti-amyloid clinical trials challenges the centrality of A beta as principal mediator of neurodegeneration. Reconsideration of late life AD as the end-product of intermittent regional failure of the neuronal support system to meet the needs of vulnerable brain areas offers an alternative point of view. This model introduces four ideas: (1) That All is a synaptic signaling peptide that becomes toxic in circumstances of metabolic stress. (2) That intense synaptic energy and maintenance requirements of cortical hubs may exceed resources during peak demand initiating a neurotoxic cascade in these selectively vulnerable regions. (3) That axonal transport to and from neuron soma cannot account fully for high mitochondrial densities and other requirements of distant terminal axons. (4) That neurons as specialists in information management, delegate generic support functions to astrocytes and other cell types. Astrocytes use intercellular transport by exosomes and tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) to deliver mitochondria, substrates and protein reprocessing services to axonal sites distant from neuronal soma. This viewpoint implicates the brain's support system and its disruption by various age and disease-related insults as significant mediators of neurodegenerative disease. A better understanding of this system should broaden concepts of neurodegeneration and facilitate development of effective treatments. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

TI Large arteriolar component of oxygen delivery implies a safe margin of oxygen supply to cerebral tissue SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID BLOOD-FLOW; VASCULAR NETWORK; CAPILLARIES; TRANSPORT; VESSELS; BRAIN; TENSION; CORTEX; MICROCIRCULATION; METABOLISM AB What is the organization of cerebral microvascular oxygenation and morphology that allows adequate tissue oxygenation at different activity levels? We address this question in the mouse cerebral cortex using microscopic imaging of intravascular O-2 partial pressure and blood flow combined with numerical modelling. Here we show that parenchymal arterioles are responsible for 50% of the extracted O-2 at baseline activity, and the majority of the remaining O-2 exchange takes place within the first few capillary branches. Most capillaries release little O-2 at baseline acting as an O-2 reserve that is recruited during increased neuronal activity or decreased blood flow. Our results challenge the common perception that capillaries are the major site of O-2 delivery to cerebral tissue. The understanding of oxygenation distribution along arterio-capillary paths may have profound implications for the interpretation of blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast in functional magnetic resonance imaging and for evaluating microvascular O-2 delivery capacity to support cerebral tissue in disease.

We evaluated the most important determinants of treatment outcome to develop a multifactorial predictive model that could provide individualized predictions of treatment outcome in oropharyngeal carcinoma patients. Methods: We analyzed the association between clinico-pathological factors and overall and progression-free survival in 168 OPSCC patients treated with curative radiotherapy or concurrent chemo-radiation. A multivariate model was validated in an external dataset of 189 patients and compared to the TNM staging system. This nomogram will be made publicly available at www.predictcancer.org. Results: Predictors of unfavorable outcomes were negative HPV-status, moderate to severe comorbidity, T3-T4 classification, N2b-N3 stage, male gender, lower hemoglobin levels and smoking history of more than 30 pack years. Prediction of overall survival using the multi-parameter model yielded a C-index of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.76-0.88). Validation in an independent dataset yielded a C-index of 0.73 (95% CI, 0.66-0.79. For progression-free survival, the model's C-index was 0.80 (95% Cl, 0.76-0.88), with a validation C-index of 0.67, (95% Cl, 0.59-0.74). Stratification of model estimated probabilities showed statistically different prognosis groups in both datasets (p < 0.001). Conclusion: This nomogram was superior to TNM classification or HPV status alone in an independent validation dataset for prediction of overall and progression-free survival in OPSCC patients, assigning patients to distinct prognosis groups. These individualized predictions could be used to stratify patients for treatment de-escalation trials. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Materials and methods: All HDR brachytherapy plans used for treatment in 2013, verified using either SAV or MV, were retrospectively reviewed. Error rate (number of errors/number of plans) was measured and verification time calculated. All HDR brachytherapy safety events recorded between 2010 and 2013 were identified. The rate of patient-related safety events (number of events/number of fractions treated) and the impact of SAV on the underlying errors were assessed. Results: Three/106 errors (2.8%) were found in the SAV group and 24/273 (8.8%) in the MV group (p = 0.046). The mean +/- 1 standard deviation plan verification time was 8.4 +/- 4.0 min for SAV and 11.6 +/- 5.3 for MV (p = 0.006). Seven safety events out of 4729 fractions delivered (0.15%) were identified. Four events (57%) were associated with plan verification and could have been detected by SAV. Conclusions: We found a safety event rate in HDR brachytherapy of 0.15%. SAV significantly reduced the number of undetected errors in HDR treatment plans compared to MV, and reduced the time required for plan verification. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

TI Evidence-Based Management of Advanced Gastric Cancer: Current and Emerging Targeted Therapies SO SEMINARS IN ONCOLOGY LA English DT Editorial Material AB Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality and the fourth most common malignancy worldwide. An estimated 21,600 new cases of gastric cancer were diagnosed in the United States in 2013, and more than 10,000 people died of the disease. Although treatment of resectable gastric cancer has improved over the last two decades, little progress has been made in advanced gastric cancer. After a patient has progressed on first-line treatment, no second-line treatment for gastric cancer has yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Several clinical trials for therapies targeting aberrant signaling pathways either have concluded or are underway. These targeted treatments have the potential to substantially improve patient outcomes. However, with each new treatment, clinicians must stay abreast of a new wave of data on underlying mechanisms, efficacy, and safety, to provide their patients with optimal care. The magnitude of information surrounding emerging treatments for advanced gastric cancer can be daunting; this monograph will provide hospital-based clinicians with a much-needed, concise overview of the available data.

Intra-abdominal abscess is a common complication in Crohn's disease (CD). Traditional percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) and surgical intervention could not obtain satisfactory results in some cases. We herein demonstrate a novel management option and compare it with traditional strategies. Methods. A total of 77 patients were retrospectively collected into 3 groups. Postoperative complication, postoperative recurrence of abscess, subsequent surgery, ultimate stoma creation rate, and survival rate were analyzed. Results. Patients were divided into the trocar group (n = 21), PCD group (n = 25), and surgery group (n = 31). The incidences of postoperative complication as well as the incidence of recurrent abscess were lowest in trocar group, and ultimate stoma creation rate was highest in the surgery group. Subsequent surgery after initial intervention and survival rate during the follow-up period were similar among the 3 groups. Conclusions. Trocar puncture with sump drain had lower incidence of postoperative complication, postoperative recurrence of abscess, and ultimate stoma creation compared with conventional PCD and surgical interventions. This novel technique might be an optimal option in the management of intra-abdominal abscesses in CD.

The Nrf2-antioxidant response element pathway protects cells from oxidative stress. Studies have shown that global Nrf2 deficiency hastens the progression of NASH. The purpose of this study was to determine whether long-term hepatocyte-specific activation of Nrf2 mitigates NASH progression. Transgenic mice expressing a constitutively active Nrf2 construct in hepatocytes (AlbCre+/caNrf2+) and littermate controls were generated. These mice were fed standard or methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet, a diet used to induce NASH development in rodents. After 28 days of MCD dietary feeding, mice developed significant increases in steatosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and HSC activation compared with those mice on standard diet. AlbCre+/caNrf2+ animals had significantly decreased serum transaminases and reduced steatosis when compared with the AlbCre+/caNrf2- animals. This significant reduction in steatosis was associated with increased expression of genes involved in triglyceride export (MTTP) and beta-oxidation (CPT2). However, there were no differences in the increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and HSC activation from MCD diet administration between the AlbCre+/caNrf2- and AlbCre+/caNrf2+ animals. We conclude that hepatocyte-specific activation of Nrf2-mediated gene expression decreased hepatocellular damage and steatosis in a dietary model of NASH. However, hepatocyte-specific induction of Nrf2-mediated gene expression alone is insufficient to mitigate inflammation, oxidative stress, and HSC activation in this nutritional NASH model.

The study aim was to understand the conceptual differences underlying the two searches. Methods: The performance of endoscopy as diagnostic test is analyzed in terms of Bayes' formula. Results: The performance of gastrointestinal endoscopy to rule in a suspected lesion is mostly influenced by its underlying specificity. Because the specificity of endoscopy is less likely to be affected by procedural exigencies, the demands on pre-procedural prep and general quality can be more relaxed. In contradistinction, the performance of endoscopy to rule out a suspected bleeding site is mostly influenced by its sensitivity, which can easily be compromised by suboptimal procedural conditions. Conclusions: Paradoxically, the more urgent, focused, and important search (to rule in a bleeding site), carries less stringent criteria for its execution than the more general and aimless search (to rule out a bleeding site) that frequently ends up just empty handed.

METHODS: The literature search included the following databases: PubMed, the National Institutes of Health/National Library of Medicine, Clinical Trials Registry, CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library), EMBASE, and LILACS. The search was performed in June 2013, and did not have restrictions or filters with regard to language or year of publication. Methodologic quality was assessed through the Jadad's scale. Primary outcomes were recurrence and reoperation rates. Secondary outcomes were functional outcome, mortality, and postoperative complications. Results were presented as pooled Mantel-Haenszel relative risks (RR), with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). RESULTS: A total of 7 randomized controlled trials were analyzed. Three studies were classified as high methodologic quality and four as low quality. Pooled RR were symptomatic recurrence (RR 0.51; 95% CI 0.36-0.75), reoperation (RR 0.5; 95% CI 0.34-0.74), poor functional outcome (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.39-0.98), mortality (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.37-1.22), and postoperative complications (RR 1.28, 95% CI 0.78-2.11). There was no statistically significant heterogeneity within the outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: The meta-analysis demonstrates that the insertion of a subdural drain was associated with a statistically significant reduction in the risk of symptomatic recurrence and the requirement for further surgical intervention of chronic subdural hematoma after surgical evacuation. Furthermore, it was associated with statistically significant improvements in both short-term and long-term functional outcome.

This study examined the joint effects of variation in ADH1B and childhood adversitya well-documented risk factor for alcohol problems and moderator of genetic liability to psychiatric outcomeson maximum drinks consumed in a 24-hour period (maxdrinks) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms. MethodsData were drawn from 2,617 African-American (AA) and 1,436 European-American (EA) participants (42% female) in a multisite genetic study of substance dependence. We tested the most significant ADH1B single nucleotide polymorphisms for alcohol dependence from a genomewide association study with this sample, ADH1B-rs1229984 (Arg48His) and ADH1B-rs2066702 (Arg370Cys), in EA and AA subsamples, respectively. ResultsOrdinal regression analyses conducted separately by sex and population revealed significant main effects for childhood adversity for both alcohol phenotypes in AA women and men and for maxdrinks in EA women. A significant rs1229984 by childhood adversity interaction was observed for AUD symptoms in EA men. Unexposed His-allele carriers reported a mean of 3.6 AUD criteria, but adversity-exposed His-allele carriers endorsed approximately the same number (6.3) as those without the protective allele (6.3 and 7.0 for adversity-exposed and -unexposed groups, respectively). ConclusionsResults suggest that under conditions of childhood adversity, the His allele does not exert its protective effects in EA men (OR=0.57, CI: 0.32 to 1.01; p=0.056). Findings highlight the robust risk effect conferred by childhood adversity and the importance of considering population and sex in genetically informative investigations of its association with alcohol outcomes.

TI Dual-Trait Selection for Ethanol Consumption and Withdrawal: Genetic and Transcriptional Network Effects SO ALCOHOLISM-CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Alcohol Consumption and Withdrawal; Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis; Dual-Trait Selective Breeding; Mouse; Microarray ID MAP KINASE PATHWAY; ALCOHOL-WITHDRAWAL; VOLUNTARY CONSUMPTION; C57BL/6J MICE; MOUSE LINES; DRINKING; LOCI; DEPENDENCE; SUSCEPTIBILITY; PREFERENCE AB BackgroundData from C57BL/6J (B6)xDBA/2J (D2) F-2 intercrosses (B6xD2F(2)), standard and recombinant inbred strains, and heterogeneous stock mice indicate that a reciprocal (or inverse) genetic relationship exists between alcohol consumption and withdrawal severity. Furthermore, some genetic studies have detected reciprocal quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for these traits. We used a novel mouse model developed by simultaneous selection for both high alcohol consumption/low withdrawal and low alcohol consumption/high withdrawal and analyzed the gene expression and genome-wide genotypic differences. MethodsRandomly chosen third selected generation (S-3) mice (N=24/sex/line), bred from a B6xD2F(2), were genotyped using the Mouse Universal Genotyping Array, which provided 2,760 informative markers. QTL analysis used a marker-by-marker strategy with the threshold for a significant log of the odds (LOD) set at 10. Gene expression in the ventral striatum was measured using the Illumina Mouse 8.2 array. Differential gene expression and the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were implemented. ResultsSignificant QTLs for consumption/withdrawal were detected on chromosomes (Chr) 2, 4, 9, and 12. A suggestive QTL mapped to Chr 6. Some of the QTLs overlapped with known QTLs mapped for 1 of the traits individually. One thousand seven hundred and forty-five transcripts were detected as being differentially expressed between the lines; there was some overlap with known withdrawal genes (e.g., Mpdz) located within QTL regions. WGCNA revealed several modules of co-expressed genes showing significant effects in both differential expression and intramodular connectivity; a module richly annotated with kinase-related annotations was most affected. ConclusionsMarked effects of selection on expression and network structure were detected. QTLs overlapping with differentially expressed genes on Chr 2 (distal) and 4 suggest that these are cis-eQTLs (Chr 2: Kif3b, Kcnq2; Chr 4: Mpdz, Snapc3). Other QTLs identified were on Chr 2 (proximal), 9, and 12. Network results point to involvement of kinase-related mechanisms and outline the need for further efforts such as interrogation of noncoding RNAs.

MethodsGlobal and regional WM microstructure was assessed using diffusion magnetic resonance measures of fractional anisotropy (FA) for 31 abstinent alcoholics (ALC) with an average of 25years of abuse and approximately 5years of sobriety and 20 nonalcoholic control (NC) participants. Data processing was conducted with FreeSurfer and FSL processing streams. Voxelwise processing of the FA data was carried out using tract-based spatial statistics. Clusters of significance were created to provide a quantitative summary of highly significant regions within the voxelwise analysis. ResultsWidespread, bilateral reductions in FA were observed in ALC as compared to NC participants in multiple frontal, temporal, parietal, and cerebellar WM tracts. FA in the left inferior frontal gyrus was associated with drinking severity. ConclusionsThis study found widespread reductions in WM integrity in a group of ALC compared to NC participants, with most pronounced effects in frontal and superior tracts. Decreased FA throughout the frontostriatal circuits that mediate inhibitory control may result in impulsive behavior and inability to maintain sobriety.

Recently developed measures of social cognition include the social perception and faces subtests of the Wechsler Advanced Clinical Solutions (ACS) Social Cognition module. While these measures have been validated on various clinical samples, they have not been studied in alcoholics. Alcoholism has been associated with emotional abnormalities and diminished social cognitive functioning as well as neuropathology of brain areas underlying social processing abilities. We used the ACS Social Perception and Faces subtests to assess alcoholism-related impairments in social cognition. MethodsSocial cognitive functioning was assessed in 77 abstinent alcoholic individuals (37 women) and 59 nonalcoholic control participants (29 women), using measures of the ACS Social Cognition module and subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) that contain a social cognition component (Picture Completion and Comprehension). Group and gender differences in ACS and WAIS-IV performance were assessed, as well as relationships between measures of alcoholism severity and social cognitive functioning. ResultsAlcoholics performed significantly worse than nonalcoholics on the ACS measures of Affect Naming and Faces Content. Alcoholic men were impaired relative to alcoholic women on Prosody Face Matching and Faces Content scores. Among alcoholics, longer durations of heavy drinking were associated with poorer performance on Affect Naming, and a greater number of daily drinks were associated with lower Prosody Face Matching performance. For alcoholic women, a longer duration of abstinence was associated with better performance on Affect Naming. ConclusionsAlcoholic men and women showed different patterns of associations between alcoholism indices and clinically validated social cognition assessments. These findings extend into the social cognition domain, previous literature demonstrating the presence of cognitive deficits in alcoholism, their association with alcoholism severity, and variability by gender. Moreover, because impairments in social cognition can persist despite extended abstinence, they have important implications for relapse prevention.

We hypothesized that inhalations of LPS, a prototypic environmental stimulus, trigger pGVHD via increased pulmonary recruitment of donor-derived antigen-presenting cells (APCs) through the C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2)-C-C motif receptor 2 (CCR2) chemokine axis. B10.BR(H2(k)) and C57BL/6(H2(b)) mice underwent allogeneic (Allo) or syngeneic (Syn) HCT with wild-type (WT) C57BL/6, CCL2(-/-), or CCR2(-/-) donors. After 4 weeks, recipient mice received daily inhaled LPS for 5 days and were killed at multiple time points. Allo mice exposed to repeated inhaled LPS developed prominent lymphocytic bronchiolitis, similar to human pGVHD. The increase in pulmonary T cells in Allo mice after LPS exposures was accompanied by increased CCL2, CCR2, and Type-1 T-helper cytokines as well as by monocytes and monocytederived dendritic cells (moDCs) compared with Syn and nontransplanted controls. Using CCL2(-/-) donors leads to a significant decrease in lungDCs but to only mildly reduced CD4 T cells. Using CCR2(-/-) donors significantly reduces lung DCs and moDCs but does not change T cells. CCL2 or CCR2 deficiency does not alter pGVHD pathology but increases airway hyperreactivity and IL-5 or IL-13 cytokines. Our results show that hematopoietic donor- derived CCL2 and CCR2 regulate recruitment of APCs to the Allo lung after LPS exposure. Although they do not alter pathologic pGVHD, their absence is associated with increased airway hyperreactivity and IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines. These results suggest that the APC changes that result from CCL2-CCR2 blockade may have unexpected effects on T cell differentiation and physiologic outcomes in HCT.

TI Report from the third international consensus meeting to harmonise core outcome measures for atopic eczema/dermatitis clinical trials (HOME) SO BRITISH JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID B-VIRUS-INFECTION; HUMAN-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS; VARICELLA-ZOSTER VIRUS; STRONGYLOIDES-STERCORALIS INFECTION; EPIDERMOLYSIS-BULLOSA-ACQUISITA; FORCE RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT; MODIFYING ANTIRHEUMATIC DRUGS; DOSE METHOTREXATE THERAPY; HEPATITIS-B; PEMPHIGUS-VULGARIS AB This report provides a summary of the third meeting of the Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) initiative held in San Diego, CA, U.S.A., 6-7 April 2013 (HOME III). The meeting addressed the four domains that had previously been agreed should be measured in every eczema clinical trial: clinical signs, patient-reported symptoms, long-term control and quality of life. Formal presentations and nominal group techniques were used at this working meeting, attended by 56 voting participants (31 of whom were dermatologists). Significant progress was made on the domain of clinical signs. Without reference to any named scales, it was agreed that the intensity and extent of erythema, excoriation, oedema/papulation and lichenification should be included in the core outcome measure for the scale to have content validity. The group then discussed a systematic review of all scales measuring the clinical signs of eczema and their measurement properties, followed by a consensus vote on which scale to recommend for inclusion in the core outcome set. Research into the remaining three domains was presented, followed by discussions. The symptoms group and quality of life groups need to systematically identify all available tools and rate the quality of the tools. A definition of long-term control is needed before progress can be made towards recommending a core outcome measure. C1 [Chalmers, J. R.; Thomas, K. S.; Burton, T.; Nankervis, H.; Williams, H.

When prolonged, POI can lead to longer hospitalization times and higher healthcare costs. Moreover, it is associated with complaints for the patient. In order to develop new strategies to treat this condition, a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of the POI is necessary. This review will focus on brain peptides (ghrelin, nesfatin-1, somatostatin, corticotropin-releasing factor, thyrotropin-releasing hormone and calcitonin gene-related peptide) involved in the mediation of POI and the possible modulation of these pathways to shorten the time of POI. Lastly, the role of vagal signaling or chewing gum as potential treatment strategies of alleviating symptoms of POI is discussed.

The regulation of mucosal protection, digestion, absorption and motility is signaled in part by luminal solutes. Therefore, luminal chemosensing is an important mechanism enabling the mucosa to monitor luminal conditions, such as pH, ion concentrations, nutrient quantity, and microflora. The duodenal mucosa shares luminal nutrient receptors with lingual taste receptors in order to detect the five basic tastes, in addition to essential nutrients, and unwanted chemicals. The recent 'de-orphanization' of nutrient sensing G protein-coupled receptors provides an essential component of the mechanism by which the mucosa senses luminal nutrients. In this review, we will update the mechanisms of and underlying physiological and pathological roles in luminal nutrient sensing, with a main focus on the duodenal mucosa.

These mechanisms involve the combined use of haptotactic, chemotactic, and mechanical cues to direct cell movement and re-growth. Living scaffolds provide these cues through the use of cells engineered in a predefined architecture, generally in combination with biomaterial strategies. Although several hurdles exist in the implementation of living regenerative scaffolds, there are considerable therapeutic advantages to using living cells in conjunction with biomaterials. The leading contemporary living scaffolds for neurorepair are utilizing aligned glial cells and neuronal/axonal tracts to direct regenerating axons across damaged tissue to appropriate targets, and in some cases to directly replace the function of lost cells. Future advances in technology, including the use of exogenous stimulation and genetically engineered stem cells, will further the potential of living scaffolds and drive a new era of personalized medicine for neuroregeneration.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 2492 patients with UTUC treated at 23 institutions with RNU between 1987 and 2007.Cox regression models addressed the association of PBT with disease recurrence, cancer-specific mortality and any-cause mortality. Results: A total of 510 patients (20.5%) patients received PBT. Within a median follow-up of 36 months (Interquartile range: 55 months), 663 (26.6%) patients experienced disease recurrence, 545 patients (21.9%) died of UTUC and 884 (35.5%) patients died from any cause. Patients who received PBT were at significantly higher risk of disease recurrence, cancer-specific mortality and overall mortality than patients not receiving PBT in univariable Cox regression analyses. In multivariable Cox regression analyses that adjusted for the effects of standard clinicopathologic features, PBT did not remain associated with disease recurrence (HR: 1.11; 95% CI 0.92-1.33, p = 0.25), cancer-specific mortality (HR: 1.09; 95% CI 0.89-1.33, p = 0.41) or overall mortality (HR: 1.09; 95% CI 0.93-1.28, p = 0.29). Conclusions: In patients undergoing RNU for UTUC, PBT is associated with disease recurrence, cancer-specific survival or overall survival in univariable, but not in multivariable Cox regression analyses.

Materials and methods: Overall, 205,551 patients with PCa diagnosed between 1988 and 2009 within the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database were included in the study. Patients were stratified according to age at diagnosis: <= 50, 51-60, 61-70, and >= 71 years. The 15-year cumulative incidence CSM rates were computed. Competing-risks regression models were performed to test the effect of age on CSM in the entire cohort, and for each grade (Gleason score 2-4, 5-7, and 8-10) and stage (pT2, pT3a, and pT3b) subcohorts. Results: Advancing age was associated with higher 15-year CSM rates (2.3 vs. 3.4 vs. 4.6 vs. 6.3% for patients aged <= 50 vs. 51-60 vs. 61-70 vs. >= 71 years, respectively; P < 0.001). In multivariable analyses, age at diagnosis was a significant predictor of CSM. This relationship was also observed in sub-analyses focusing on patients with Gleason score 5-7, and/or pT2 disease (all P <= 0.05). Conversely, age failed to reach the independent predictor status in men with Gleason score 2-4, 8-10, pT3a, and/or pT3b disease. Conclusions: Advancing age increases the risk of CSM. However, when considering patients affected by more aggressive disease, age was not significantly associated with higher risk of dying from PCa. In high-risk patients, tumor characteristics rather than age should be considered when making treatment decisions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Gandaglia, G.; Karakiewicz, P.

TI Mitochondria, Energetics, Epigenetics, and Cellular Responses to Stress SO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES LA English DT Review ID DNA COPY NUMBER; PLURIPOTENT STEM-CELLS; COLON-CARCINOMA CELLS; ENERGY-METABOLISM; EXCISION-REPAIR; OXIDATIVE-PHOSPHORYLATION; ATAXIA-TELANGIECTASIA; HISTONE ACETYLATION; BUTYRATE METABOLISM; CANCER METABOLISM AB Background: Cells respond to environmental stressors through several key pathways, including response to reactive oxygen species (ROS), nutrient and ATP sensing, DNA damage response (DDR), and epigenetic alterations. Mitochondria play a central role in these pathways not only through energetics and ATP production but also through metabolites generated in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, as well as mitochondria-nuclear signaling related to mitochondria morphology, biogenesis, fission/fusion, mitophagy, apoptosis, and epigenetic regulation. Objectives: We investigated the concept of bidirectional interactions between mitochondria and cellular pathways in response to environmental stress with a focus on epigenetic regulation, and we examined DNA repair and DDR pathways as examples of biological processes that respond to exogenous insults through changes in homeostasis and altered mitochondrial function. Methods: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences sponsored the Workshop on Mitochondria, Energetics, Epigenetics, Environment, and DNA Damage Response on 25-26 March 2013. Here, we summarize key points and ideas emerging from this meeting. Discussion: A more comprehensive understanding of signaling mechanisms (cross-talk) between the mitochondria and nucleus is central to elucidating the integration of mitochondrial functions with other cellular response pathways in modulating the effects of environmental agents. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of mitochondrial functions in epigenetic regulation and DDR with environmental stress. Development and application of novel technologies, enhanced experimental models, and a systems-type research approach will help to discern how environmentally induced mitochondrial dysfunction affects key mechanistic pathways. Conclusions: Understanding mitochondria-cell signaling will provide insight into individual responses to environmental hazards, improving prediction of hazard and susceptibility to environmental stressors.

Histologic evidence of a foreign body reaction has been described in temporal bones in patients who in life had undergone cochlear implantation. In the current study, the cellular immune response was characterized using immunohistochemical stains for B-cell lymphocytes (CD20), T-cell lymphocytes (CD3), and macrophages (CD68). In addition, energy dispersive spectroscopy by scanning electron microscopy (EDS-SEM) was performed to characterize the nature of particulate foreign material seen near the electrode array. Infiltrations of B-cell and Tcell lymphocytes and macrophages were identified immunohistochemically. The track of the electrode array was frequently lined by multi-nucleated foreign body giant cells. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy identified the particulate material found in the fibrous sheeth surrounding the cochlear implant to be consistent with platinum. In conclusion, a cochlear implant generates a vigorous cellular immune response consisting of B and T lymphocytes, foreign body giant cells, and macrophages. Platinum was identified as one of the antigens likely responsible for this cellular response. This foreign body response may in certain cases result in migration or even extrusion of an implant device. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

TI Intravascular optical coherence tomography light scattering artifacts: merry-go-rounding, blooming, and ghost struts SO JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL OPTICS LA English DT Article DE imaging; lasers; stents; tomography ID ACCURACY; REPRODUCIBILITY AB We sought to elucidate the mechanisms underlying two common intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT) artifacts that occur when imaging metallic stents: "merry-go-rounding" (MGR), which is an increase in strut arc length (SAL), and "blooming," which is an increase in the strut reflection thickness (blooming thickness). Due to uncontrollable variables that occur in vivo, we performed an in vitro assessment of MGR and blooming in stented vessel phantoms. Using Xience V and Driver stents, we examined the effects of catheter offset, intimal strut coverage, and residual blood on SAL and blooming thickness in IV-OCT images. Catheter offset and strut coverage both caused minor MGR, while the greatest MGR effect resulted from light scattering by residual blood in the vessel lumen, with 1% hematocrit (Hct) causing a more than fourfold increase in SAL compared with saline (p < 0.001). Residual blood also resulted in blooming, with blooming thickness more than doubling when imaged in 0.5% Hct compared with saline (p < 0.001). We demonstrate that a previously undescribed mechanism, light scattering by residual blood in the imaging field, is the predominant cause of MGR. Light scattering also results in blooming, and a newly described artifact, three-dimensional-MGR, which results in " ghost struts" in B-scans.

TI The 2013 US Government Shutdown (#Shutdown) and Health: An Emerging Role for Social Media SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH LA English DT Editorial Material ID EMERGENCY-PREPAREDNESS AB In October 2013, multiple United States (US) federal health departments and agencies posted on Twitter, "We're sorry, but we will not be tweeting or responding to @ replies during the shutdown. We'll be back as soon as possible!" These "last tweets" and the millions of responses they generated revealed social media's role as a forum for sharing and discussing information rapidly. Social media are now among the few dominant communication channels used today. We used social media to characterize the public discourse and sentiment about the shutdown. The 2013 shutdown represented an opportunity to explore the role social media might play in events that could affect health.

When HIV-infected people learn their status, many of them decrease risky behaviors and begin therapy to decrease viral load, both of which prevent ongoing spread of HIV in the community. Some physicians face barriers to testing their patients for HIV and would rather their patients ask them for the HIV test. A campaign prompting patients to ask their physicians about HIV testing could increase testing. A mobile health (mHealth) campaign would be a low-cost, accessible solution to activate patients to take greater control of their health, especially populations at risk for HIV. This campaign could achieve Healthy People 2020 objectives: improve patient-physician communication, improve HIV testing, and increase use of mHealth.

We sought to explore the feasibility of using a crowdsourcing study to promote awareness about automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and their locations. Methods. The Defibrillator Design Challenge was an online initiative that asked the public to create educational designs that would enhance AED visibility, which took place over 8 weeks, from February 6, 2014, to April 6, 2014. Participants were encouraged to vote for AED designs and share designs on social media for points. Using a mixed-methods study design, we measured participant demographics and motivations, design characteristics, dissemination, and Web site engagement. Results. Over 8 weeks, there were 13 992 unique Web site visitors; 119 submitted designs and 2140 voted. The designs were shared 48 254 times on Facebook and Twitter. Most designers-voters reported that they participated to contribute to an important cause (44%) rather than to win money (0.8%). Design themes included: empowerment, location awareness, objects (e.g., wings, lightning, batteries, life-buoys), and others. Conclusions. The Defibrillator Design Challenge engaged a broad audience to generate AED designs and foster awareness. This project provides a framework for using design and contest architecture to promote health messages.

These alterations, called epigenetic changes, persist stably through mitotic or, in some instances, meiotic cell divisions. In eukaryotes, heritable changes to chromatin structure are a prominent, but not exclusive, mechanism by which epigenetic changes are mediated. These changes are initiated by sequence-specific events, which trigger a cascade of molecular interactions resulting in feedback mechanisms, alterations in chromatin structure, histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs), and ultimately establishment of distinct transcriptional states. In recent years, advances in next generation sequencing have led to the discovery of several novel classes of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). In addition to their well-established cytoplasmic roles in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression, ncRNAs have emerged as key regulators of epigenetic changes via chromatin-dependent mechanisms in organisms ranging from yeast to man. They function by affecting chromatin structure, histone PTMs, and the recruitment of transcriptional activating or repressing complexes. Among histone PTMs, lysine methylation serves as the binding substrate for the recruitment of key protein complexes involved in the regulation of genome architecture, stability, and gene expression. In this review, we will outline the known mechanisms by which ncRNAs of different origins regulate histone methylation, and in doing so contribute to a variety of genome regulatory functions in eukaryotes.

Such studies have highlighted the impact that chromatin modifying enzymes could have in cancer and other genetic diseases. In this review, we summarize characterized mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in histone lysine methyltransferases (KMTs), histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) and histones. We primarily focus on variants with strong disease correlations and discuss how they could impact histone lysine methylation dynamics and gene regulation.

It encodes a leucine zipper transcription factor that modulates a broad spectrum of cellular genes responsible for enhancing cell proliferation, cellular metabolism, growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, genomic instability, stem cell self-renewal and reduced differentiation. MYC functions predominantly as an amplifier of expression of already active genes, potentiating the pre-existing transcriptional program, although it can also repress certain transcriptional targets. In mouse models, MYC induces lymphomas, but requires cooperation with other lesions, including inactivation of the p53 pathway, structural alterations of BCL2 family members, or increased PI3K activity. In human B-cell tumors, MYC rearrangements involving the 8q24 region and immunoglobulin heavy or light genes are a hallmark of Burkitt lymphoma (BL), but can also occur in other lymphoid malignancies, that include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma (BCLU), plasma cell myeloma (PCM), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and plasmablastic lymphoma. For non-BL lymphoid malignancies, MYC fusions represent secondary genetic events and exist in the context of complex karyotypes. Regardless of the mechanism deregulating MYC, lymphomas over-expressing MYC are addicted to this oncogene, highlighting the potential clinical utility of MYC targeting strategies. Several promising approaches for pharmaceutical intervention have been suggested which are now in preclinical or clinical development. Herein, we therefore review the molecular pathogenetic mechanisms associated with MYC deregulation in human B-cell lymphomas and their implications for therapies targeting MYC. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

It remains to be elucidated whether non-genetic heterogeneity is simply a byproduct of tumor evolution or instead a manifestation of a higher-order tissue organization that is maintained within the neoplasm to establish a differentiation hierarchy, a favorable microenvironment, or a buffer against changing selection pressures during tumorigenesis. Here, we review recent findings on epigenetic diversity, particularly heterogeneity in DNA methylation patterns in hematologic malignancies. We also address the implications of epigenetic heterogeneity for the clonal evolution of tumors and discuss its effects on gene expression and other genome functions in cancer.

This immunosuppressive microenvironment is considered to be shaped through a complex multi-step interactive process between glioma cells, GAMs and MDSCs. Glioma cells recruit GAMs and MDSCs to the tumour site and block their maturation. Glioma cell-derived factors subsequently skew these cells towards an immunosuppressive, tumour-promoting phenotype. Finally, GAMs and MDSCs enhance immune suppression in the glioma microenvironment and promote glioma growth, invasiveness, and neovascularization. The local and distant cross-talk between glioma cells and GAMs and MDSCs is regulated by a plethora of soluble proteins and cell surface-bound factors, and possibly via extracellular vesicles and platelets. Importantly, GAMs and MDSCs have been reported to impair the efficacy of glioma therapy, in particular immunotherapeutic approaches. Therefore, advancing our understanding of the function of GAMs and MDSCs in brain tumours and targeted intervention of their immunosuppressive function may benefit the treatment of glioma.

The laser light scan makes it possible to establish three-dimensional positions of physical features and to determine more objectively the changes in the size and shape of the affected soft tissues of the faces of children exposed to these anticonvulsant drugs during pregnancy. MethodsThirteen individuals, exposed throughout pregnancy to phenytoin as either monotherapy or polytherapy, were identified in a previous analysis as having significant changes in their craniofacial features based on measurements of cephalometric radiographs. Those changes were associated with midface hypoplasia and a short nose, features of the anticonvulsant face. The soft tissues of their faces have been evaluated with laser light scans. ResultsThe notable changes in soft tissues identified by laser light scans were a wide philtrum (cph-cph), narrow mouth (ch-ch), short nasal bridge (n-prn), shortened nose height (n-sn), and flattened orbits (orbital protrusion index). ConclusionThis analysis of the facial features of phenytoin-exposed individuals, selected because of changes in their craniofacial bony structures, showed that there were several significant changes, two of which, widening of the philtrum and a small mouth, have not been described previously as part of this phenotype.

Patients and MethodsOverall, 1382 patients with locally advanced PCa treated with RP or initial observation between 1995 and 2009 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Medicare insurance programme-linked database. Patients were matched using propensity-score methodology, then 10-year cancer-specific mortality (CSM) rates were estimated and the number needed to treat (NNT) was calculated. Competing-risks regression analyses tested the relationship between treatment type and CSM. ResultsOverall, the 10-year CSM rates were 11.8 and 19.3% for patients treated with RP and initial observation, respectively (P < 0.001). The corresponding 10-year NNT was 13. The 10-year CSM rates for the same treatment groups were 8.9 vs 13.9%, respectively, for Gleason score 7, 16.8 vs 27.8%, respectively, for Gleason score 8-10, 10.1 vs 15.8%, respectively, for clinical stage T3a, and 17.0 vs 29.3%, respectively, for T3b/T4, respectively (all P 0.04). The corresponding NNTs were 20, 9, 17 and 8, respectively. In multivariable analyses, RP was an independent predictor of more favourable CSM rates in all categories (all P 0.04). In separate sensitivity analyses, no differences were recorded when patients treated with radiotherapy were compared with those receiving RP (P = 0.4). Conversely, patients undergoing initial observation had a higher risk of CSM compared with those treated with radiotherapy (P = 0.03). ConclusionsRP leads to a significant survival advantage compared with observation in patients with locally advanced disease. The highest benefit was observed in patients with T3b/T4 and Gleason score 8-10 disease.

Patients and MethodsIn all, 140474 patients diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer between 1995 and 2009 within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare linked database were abstracted. Patients treated with ADT and those not receiving ADT were matched using propensity score methodology. The 10-year CAD, AMI, and SCD rates were estimated. Competing-risks regression analyses tested the association between the type of ADT (GnRH agonists vs bilateral orchidectomy) and CAD, AMI, and SCD, after adjusting for the risk of dying during follow-up. ResultsOverall, the 10-year rates of CAD, AMI, and SCD were 25.9%, 15.6%, and 15.8%, respectively. After stratification according to ADT status (ADT-naive vs GnRH agonists vs bilateral orchidectomy), the CAD rates were 25.1% vs 26.9% vs 23.2%, the AMI rates were 14.8% vs 16.6% vs 14.8%, and the SCD rates were 14.2% vs 17.7% vs 16.4%, respectively. In competing-risks multivariable regression analyses, the administration of GnRH agonists (all P < 0.001), but not bilateral orchidectomy (all P 0.7), was associated with higher risk of CAD, AMI, and SCD. ConclusionsThe administration of GnRH agonists, but not orchidectomy, is still associated with a significantly increased risk of CAD, AMI, and, especially, SCD in patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer. Alternative forms of ADT should be considered in patients at higher risk of CV events.

Patients and MethodsTwo trials that used PCWG-2 guidelines to define progression were analysed: a randomized phase II trial (n = 221) comparing first-line docetaxel-prednisone plus AT-101 or placebo, and a phase III trial (n = 873) comparing prednisone plus sunitinib or placebo after docetaxel-based chemotherapy. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association of radiographic progression with OS. Landmark analyses compared progressing patients with those who had not progressed. Sub-analyses compared patients removed from trial for progression vs other reasons. ResultsAn increased risk of death was seen for radiographic progression at landmark times from 6 to 12 months with docetaxel-based therapy (hazard ratio [HR] >1.7 at all time-points). An increased risk of death was also seen with post-docetaxel prednisone alone or with sunitinib for progression at landmark times from 2 to 8 months (HR >2.7 at all time-points). Kendall's was 0.50 (P < 0.001) in the setting of docetaxel-based therapy and 0.34 (P < 0.001) in the post-docetaxel setting for association between radiographic progression and death amongst patients with both events. Removal from study due to radiographic progression was associated with a significantly lower OS compared with removal for other reasons in both trials. Limitations of a retrospective analysis apply and there was no central radiology review. ConclusionsRadiographic progression by PCWG-2 criteria was significantly associated with OS in patients with mCRPC receiving first-line docetaxel-based chemotherapy or post-docetaxel therapy. With external validation as a surrogate endpoint in trials showing survival benefits, the use of radiographic progression-free survival may expedite drug development in mCRPC, which has been hampered by the lack of intermediate endpoints.

The purpose was to determine the generalizability of findings in semantic organization in the epilepsy patient population to the broader population. It was hypothesized that, akin to patient derived findings, DN would uniquely activate left TL regions anterior to those associated with PN, while overlapping in middle and posterior left TL. Participants (n = 16) underwent fMRI while silently naming target words during a picture naming task (PNT; line drawings) and description naming task (DNT; orthographic phrases). Analysis was a priori restricted to the left TL. Group results of direct contrasts (DNT > PNT and PNT > DNT) confirmed the hypothesized dissociation with DNT > PNT activating anterior left TL. Within-condition contrasts (DNT and PNT alone) yielded additional support, revealing areas of shared and unique activation in each condition. This is the first imaging study to contrast DN and PN in the same sample. The results suggest DN and PN are meaningfully different constructs subserved by converging and diverging TL neuroanatomy and may be differentially affected by disease.

We sought to determine whether HIV is an independent risk factor for emphysema severity and whether markers of HIV severity and systemic biomarkers of inflammation (IL-6), altered coagulation (D-dimer), and immune activation (soluble CD14) are associated with emphysema. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 114 participants with HIV infection and 89 participants without HIV infection in the Examinations of HIV-Associated Lung Emphysema (EXHALE) study. Participants underwent chest CT imaging with blinded semi-quantitative interpretation of emphysema severity, distribution, and type. We generated multivariable logistic regression models to determine the risk of HIV for radiographic emphysema, defined as >10% lung involvement. Similar analyses examined associations of plasma biomarkers, HIV RNA, and recent and nadir CD4 cell counts with emphysema among participants with HIV infection. RESULTS: Participants with HIV infection had greater radiographic emphysema severity with increased lower lung zone and diffuse involvement. HIV was associated with significantly increased risk for >10% emphysema in analyses adjusted for cigarette smoking pack-years (OR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.12-4.48). In multivariable analyses restricted to participants with HIV infection, nadir CD4 < 200 cells/mu L (OR, 2.98; 95% CI, 1.14-7.81), and high soluble CD14 level (upper 25th percentile) (OR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.04-6.22) were associated with increased risk of >10% emphysema. IL-6 and D-dimer were not associated with emphysema in HIV. CONCLUSIONS: HIV is an independent risk factor for radiographic emphysema. Emphysema severity was significantly greater among participants with HIV infection. Among those with HIV, nadir CD4 < 200 cells/mu L and elevated soluble CD14 level were associated with emphysema, highlighting potential mechanisms linking HIV with emphysema.

We sought to review various aspects of breast-cancer related lymphedema including measurement techniques, definitions, risk factors, and specifically, impact on physical, psychological, and emotional well-being of women treated for breast cancer. For the purpose of this review, we performed a literature search using PubMed for articles on lymphedema secondary to breast cancer treatment published since 1997. While improvements in breast cancer therapy have contributed to a decrease in the incidence of lymphedema, the overall negative impact the condition has on patients and survivors has remained unchanged. The development of lymphedema results in physical impairments including compromised function, diminished strength, fatigue, and pain in the affected arm. Affected women may have decreased self-confidence resulting from a distorted body image. Negative emotions reported by women with lymphedema include anxiety, frustration, sadness, anger, fear, and increased self-consciousness. Lymphedema secondary to breast cancer treatment remains a significant quality of life issue, with known consequences related to a woman's physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Genome-wide association studies of autoimmune diseases have demonstrated that the MHC region has effect sizes that supersede those for any non-MHC locus for most diseases. Thus, an understanding of how particular MHC alleles confer susceptibility will be essential for a comprehensive understanding of autoimmune disease pathogenesis.

Majority of non-HLA genetic variants are located within non-coding regulatory region. Expression QTL studies have shown that these variants affect disease mainly by regulating gene expression. We discuss recent findings on shared genetic loci between infectious and immune-mediated diseases and provide potential clues to explore genetic associations in the context of these infectious agents. We propose that the interdisciplinary studies (genetics genomics immunology infection bioinformatics) are the future post-GWAS approaches to advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases.

Of particular interest, various pre-synaptic and post-synaptic components of the dopaminergic system change across the human lifespan; impairments in these components play important roles in cognitive deficits commonly observed in the elderly. Here, we review evidence from recent multimodal neuroimaging, pharmacological and genetic studies that have provided new insights for the associations among dopamine functions, aging, functional brain activations and behavioral performance across key cognitive functions, ranging from working memory and episodic memory to goal-directed learning and decision making. Specifically, we discuss these empirical findings in the context of an established neurocomputational theory of aging neuronal gain control. We also highlight gaps in the current understanding of dopamine neuromodulation and aging brain functions and suggest avenues for future research.

Experimental evidence suggests that miRNAs play significant roles in various aspects of cartilage development, homeostasis, and pathology. The possibility that miRNAs can be novel therapeutic targets for cartilage diseases led to vigorous investigations to understand the role of individual miRNAs in skeletal tissues. Here, we summarize our current understanding of miRNAs in chondrocytes and cartilage. In the first part, we discuss roles of miRNAs in growth plate development and chondrocyte differentiation.

TI Vagus nerve stimulation reduces cardiac electrical instability assessed by quantitative T-wave alternans analysis in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy SO EPILEPSIA LA English DT Article DE Vagus nerve stimulation; T-wave alternans; Heart rate variability; Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy ID HEART-RATE-VARIABILITY; LEFT-VENTRICULAR FUNCTION; ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUGS; REFRACTORY EPILEPSY; STELLATE GANGLION; UNEXPLAINED DEATH; SEIZURES; THERAPY; SUDDEN; SUDEP AB ObjectiveThe cardiac component of risk for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and alterations in cardiac risk by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) are not well understood. We determined changes in T-wave alternans (TWA), a proven noninvasive marker of risk for sudden cardiac death in patients with cardiovascular disease, and heart rate variability (HRV), an indicator of autonomic function, in association with VNS in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. MethodsAmbulatory 24-h electrocardiograms (N=9: ages 29-63, six males) were analyzed. ResultsMean TWA during the interictal period was 373.1V (mean +/- SEM) in lead V-1 for nine patients monitored following implantation of the VNS system (n=7) or battery change (n=2). Of these, six patients also monitored prior to implantation (n=5) or battery change (n=1) showed abnormally high TWA levels pre-VNS (60.0 +/- 4.3V), which were significantly reduced by 24.3V (to 35.7 +/- 4.8V, p=0.02) after VNS settings were adjusted for desired clinical response. TWA in four (67%) of the six patients was reduced in association with VNS to levels below the 47-V cut point of abnormality. The decrease in TWA was correlated with VNS intensity (r=0.88, p<0.02). In addition, low-frequency HRV was reduced by 60% (805.61 +/- 253.96 to 323.49 +/- 102.74msec(2), p=0.05) and low-to high-frequency HRV ratio by 32% (3.34 +/- 0.57 to 2.26 +/- 0.31, p=0.025), indicating a change in autonomic balance in favor of parasympathetic dominance. SignificanceThis is the first report that elevated levels of TWA in patients with drug-refractory partial-onset seizures were reduced in association with VNS, potentially by improving sympathetic/parasympathetic balance.

MethodsThis prospective multicenter study included all adult patients treated for SE of all but anoxic causes from four academic centers. The proposed tool is designed as a checklist covering frequent precipitating factors for SE. The study team completed the checklist at the time the patient was identified by electroencephalography (EEG) request. Only information available in the emergency department or at the time of in-hospital SE identification was used. Concordance between the etiology indicated by the tool and the determined etiology at hospital discharge was analyzed, together with interrater agreement. ResultsTwo hundred twelve patients were included. Concordance between the etiology hypothesis generated using the tool and the finally determined etiology was 88.7% (95% confidence interval (CI) 86.4-89.8) (=0.88). Interrater agreement was 83.3% (95% CI 80.4-96) (=0.81). SignificanceThis tool is valid and reliable for identification early the etiology of an SE. Physicians managing patients in SE may benefit from using it to identify promptly the underlying etiology, thus facilitating selection of the appropriate treatment.

The involvement of T2D in Alzheimer's disease (AD)-type neuropathology has been more controversial. While postmortem data from animal studies have supported the involvement of T2D in AD-type neuropathology through insulin mechanism that may affect the development of neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), findings from postmortem studies in humans, of the association of T2D with AD, have been mainly negative. To complicate matters, medications to treat T2D have been implicated in reduced AD-type neuropathology. In this review we summarize the literature on animal and human postmortem studies of T2D neuropathology, mainly the mechanisms involved in hyperglycemiarelated CVD neuropathology and hyperinsulinemia-related AD-type neuropathology.

Many will proceed to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We identified 123 patients with post-aplastic anemia myelodysplastic syndrome who from 1991 through 2011 underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and in a matched-pair analysis compared outcome to that in 393 patients with de novo myelodysplastic syndrome. There was no difference in overall survival. There were no significant differences with regard to 5-year probabilities of relapse, non-relapse mortality, relapse-free survival and overall survival; these were 14%, 40%, 46% and 49% for post-aplastic anemia myelodysplastic syndrome, and 20%, 33%, 47% and 49% for de novo myelodysplastic syndrome, respectively. In multivariate analysis, relapse (hazard ratio 0.71; P=0.18), non-relapse mortality (hazard ratio 1.28; P=0.18), relapse-free survival (hazard ratio 0.97; P=0.80) and overall survival (hazard ratio 1.02; P=0.88) of post-aplastic anemia myelodysplastic syndrome were similar to those of patients with de novo myelodysplastic syndrome. Cytogenetic risk was independently associated with overall survival in both groups. Thus, transplant success in patients with post-aplastic anemia myelodysplastic syndrome was similar to that in patients with de novo myelodysplastic syndrome, and cytogenetics was the only significant prognostic factor for post-aplastic anemia myelodysplastic syndrome patients.

Infectious diseases have substantially diminished, and survival rates for children with cancer, congenital heart disease, leukemia, and other conditions have greatly improved. However, over the past fifty years chronic health conditions and disabilities among children and youth have steadily risen, primarily from four classes of common conditions: asthma, obesity, mental health conditions, and neurodevelopmental disorders. In this article we describe the epidemiological shift among infants, children, and youth and examine sociodemographic and other factors contributing to it. We describe how health systems are responding by reorganizing and innovating. For children with rare complex conditions, concentrating subspecialty care at regional centers has been effective. For the much larger numbers of children with common chronic conditions, primary care providers have expanded diagnosis, treatment, and management options in promising ways.

However, because aFGF receptors are expressed on tumor cells, it may possibly offset the graft-vs.-tumor (GVT) effects of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT). Here, we addressed these questions in a B6 -> B6D2F1 allo-BMT model. Although aFGF administration attenuated GVHD in non-leukemic recipients, aFGF treatment markedly accelerated death in mice that received recipient-type tumor (P815) cells along with allo- or syngeneic-BMT. Similar protection against GVHD was achieved by administration of a non-mitogenic form of aFGF (naFGF). Importantly, GVT effects were fully preserved in naFGF-treated recipients. Furthermore, aFGF, but not naFGF, significantly enhanced P815 cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Our data indicate that the tumor-promoting, but not GVHD-protecting, effect of aFGF largely depends on its mitogenic activity, and suggest that naFGF may provide a safer approach to inhibiting GVHD in patients with malignancies.

We found that mice lacking immediate early responsive gene X-1 (IEX-1) were prone to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced endotoxemia. A nonlethal dose of LPS provoked numerous aberrations in lEX-1 knockout (1(0) mice including pancytopenia, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lung neutrophilia, concurrent with liver and kidney damage, followed by death. Given these results, in conjunction with a proven role for lEX-1 in the regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis during stress, we pre-treated IEX-1 KO mice with Mitoquinone (MitoQ), a mitochondrion-based antioxidant prior to LPS injection. The treatment significantly reduced ROS formation in circulatory cells and protected against pancytopenia and multiple organ failure, drastically increasing the survival rate of IEX-1 KO mice challenged by this low dose of LPS. This study confirms significant contribution of mitochondrial ROS to the etiology of sepsis. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Objectives: To more clearly understand the individual components of the anesthesia gap pertaining to reproductive health surgeries and procedures in resource-limited settings. Search strategy: Medline, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, and POPLINE were systematically searched for reports published before December 31, 2013. Search terms were related to obstetric surgery, resource-limited settings, and anesthesia. Selection criteria: Studies that addressed the use of anesthesia in reproductive procedures in resource-limited settings were included. Data collection and analysis: Reviewers independently evaluated the full text of identified studies, extracted information related to study objectives and conclusions, and identified the anesthesia gap. Main results: Overall, 14 publications met the inclusion criteria. A significant lack of infrastructure, equipment and supplies, and trained personnel were identified as key factors responsible for a lack of anesthesia services. Conclusions: A shortage of trained anesthesia providers, equipment, supplies, medications, and infrastructure, along with limitations in transportation in resource-limited settings have produced a wide gap between available anesthesia services and the demand for them for reproductive health surgeries and procedures. Safe, affordable, and scalable solutions to address the anesthesia gap are urgently needed. (C) 2014 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

We sought to evaluate the association among SeP, FGF21, FGF23 and MetS in young children. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional study conducted during a school health examination on 210 children aged 9 years. We measured serum SeP, FGF21 and FGF23 levels, and assessed anthropometric and cardiometabolic variables. MetS was defined as the presence of. 3 of the following five criteria: high blood pressure, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), high triglyceride, high fasting glucose and abdominal obesity. RESULTS: SeP was correlated positively with HDL-C and negatively with body mass index, waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, transaminases, triglyceride and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). FGF21 was directly correlated with WC, triglyceride and HOMA-IR, and FGF23 was inversely correlated with fasting glucose and alanine aminotransferase. Children with MetS had lower SeP and FGF23 levels and higher HOMA-IR than children without MetS. The highest tertile of SeP had decreased odds for MetS (odds ratio 0.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.00-0.96, P for trend = 0.042), whereas FGF21 and FGF23 did not relate to the risk for MetS after controlling for confounders. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated SeP concentrations are independently associated with a reduced risk of MetS in children. The associations between FGF21, FGF23 and metabolic parameters are not of comparable significance. C1 [Ko, B-J; Park, K. H.; Mantzoros, C.

TI Irisin stimulates muscle growth-related genes and regulates adipocyte differentiation and metabolism in humans SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OBESITY LA English DT Article DE irisin; myokine; muscle hypertrophy; adipocyte browning ID SKELETAL-MUSCLE; ADIPOSE-TISSUE; EXERCISE; ASSOCIATION; RESISTANCE; EXPRESSION; GLUCOSE; OBESITY; PLASMA; CELLS AB BACKGROUND: Irisin is a recently identified exercise-induced myokine suggested to induce browning of white adipocytes. Deficiency of myostatin, and thus stimulation of muscle growth, has also been reported to induce irisin and its precursor FNDC5 expression in muscle and drive the browning of white adipocytes in mice, implying that irisin may be related to muscle growth in addition to its beneficial effects in adipocytes. In humans, the effect of irisin in muscle hypertrophy as well as adipocyte metabolism has not been fully investigated. METHODS: Primary cultured human myocytes/adipocytes and 3T3-L1 cells were used to examine irisin-regulated gene/protein expression. Lipid accumulation, ATP content, glycolysis, lipolysis and metabolite profile were measured in control and irisin-treated (10 and 50 nM) adipocytes. RESULTS: In human myocytes, FNDC5 mRNA and irisin secretion were increased during myogenic differentiation, along with PGC1 alpha and myogenin expression. Irisin treatment significantly increased insulin-like growth factor 1 and decreased myostatin gene expression through ERK pathway. PGC1 alpha 4, a newly discovered PGC1a isoform specifically related to muscle hypertrophy, was also upregulated. In human adipocytes, irisin induced uncoupling protein 1 and consequently increased adipocyte energy expenditure, expression of metabolic enzymes and metabolite intermediates, resulting in inhibition of lipid accumulation. Irisin and FNDC5 treatment also reduced preadipocyte differentiation, suggesting an additional mechanism in suppressing fat mass. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that irisin/FNDC5 has a pleiotropic role in muscle and improvement of adipocyte metabolism in humans. C1 [Huh, J. Y.; Dincer, F.; Mesfum, E.; Mantzoros, C.

Patients with Usher syndrome type I (USH1) have retinitis pigmentosa, profound congenital hearing loss, and vestibular ataxia. This syndrome is currently thought to be associated with at least six genes, which are encoded by over 180 exons. Here, we present the use of state-of-the-art techniques in the molecular diagnosis of a cohort of 47 USH1 probands. METHODS. The cohort was studied with selective exon capture and next-generation sequencing of currently known inherited retinal degeneration genes, comparative genomic hybridization, and Sanger sequencing of new USH1 exons identified by human retinal transcriptome analysis. RESULTS. With this approach, we were able to genetically solve 14 of the 47 probands by confirming the biallelic inheritance of mutations. We detected two likely pathogenic variants in an additional 19 patients, for whom family members were not available for cosegregation analysis to confirm biallelic inheritance. Ten patients, in addition to primary disease-causing mutations, carried rare likely pathogenic USH1 alleles or variants in other genes associated with deaf-blindness, which may influence disease phenotype. Twenty-one of the identified mutations were novel among the 33 definite or likely solved patients. Here, we also present a clinical description of the studied cohort at their initial visits. CONCLUSIONS. We found a remarkable genetic heterogeneity in the studied USH1 cohort with multiplicity of mutations, of which many were novel. No obvious influence of genotype on phenotype was found, possibly due to small sample sizes of the genotypes under study.

TI Evaluation of matched control algorithms in EHR-based phenotyping studies: A case study of inflammatory bowel disease comorbidities SO JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS LA English DT Article DE EHR; Controls; Matching; Comorbidity; Inflammatory bowel disease ID ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS; INFORMATICS; BIAS AB The success of many population studies is determined by proper matching of cases to controls. Some of the confounding and bias that afflict electronic health record (EHR)-based observational studies may be reduced by creating effective methods for finding adequate controls. We implemented a method to match case and control populations to compensate for sparse and unequal data collection practices common in EHR data. We did this by matching the healthcare utilization of patients after observing that more complete data was collected on high healthcare utilization patients vs. low healthcare utilization patients. In our results, we show that many of the anomalous differences in population comparisons are mitigated using this matching method compared to other traditional age and gender-based matching. As an example, the comparison of the disease associations of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease show differences that are not present when the controls are chosen in a random or even a matched age/gender/race algorithm. In conclusion, the use of healthcare utilization-based matching algorithms to find adequate controls greatly enhanced the accuracy of results in EHR studies.

Rox TI Fractional Skin Harvesting: Device Operational Principles and Deployment Evaluation SO JOURNAL OF MEDICAL DEVICES-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME LA English DT Article ID DEEP PENETRATION; SOFT SOLIDS; RESISTANCE AB As an alternative method to conventional split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs), we recently proposed fractional skin grafting (FSG), which consists in harvesting hundreds of microscopic skin tissue columns (MSTCs) to place them directly into the skin wound (Tam et al., 2013, "Fractional Skin Harvesting: Autologous Skin Graft Without Donor Site Morbidity,"Plast. Reconstructive Surgery-Global Open, 1(6)). This paper (i) introduces the concept and operational principles of a simple but robust fractional skin harvesting (FSH) device and (ii) presents the quantitative evaluation of the deployment of the FSH device with respect to different harvesting-needle sizes. The device utilizes a hypodermic needle with a specific cutting-geometry to core skin tissue mechanically. The tissue core is removed from the donor site into a collecting basket by air and fluid flows. The air flow transports the tissue core, while the fluid flow serves the purpose of lubrication for tissue transport and wetting for tissue preservation. The design and functionality of the device were validated in an animal study conducted to establish preclinical feasibility, safety and efficacy of the proposed FSH device and FSG method. The FSH device, operating at 55.16 kPa (8 psi) gauge pressure and 208 ml/min saline flow rate, cored 800 mu m diameter x 2.5 mm length skin columns using a 1.05/0.81 mm outer/inner diameter needle. The MSTC harvesting rate was established by the user at 1 column/sec. For this columns size, about 50 MSTCs are required to cover a 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm wound. In comparison to STSGs, the proposed FSG method results in superior healing outcomes on the donor and wound sites. Most important, the donor site heals without morbidity by remodeling tissue, as opposed to scarring. The FSH device has the capability of extracting full-thickness skin columns while preserving its viability and eliminating the donor site morbidity associated with skin grafting.

This is most evident in context-induced, placebo analgesia, which has recently been shown to interact with the trait of magical thinking (MT) in adults. In children, placebo analgesia and the possible roles that MT and gender might play as modulators of placebo analgesia have remained unexplored. Using a paradigm in which heat pain stimuli were applied to both forearms, we investigated whether MT and gender can influence the magnitude of placebo analgesia in children. Participants were 49 right-handed children (aged 6-9 years) who were randomly assigned stratified for MT and gender to either an analgesia-expectation or a control-expectation condition. For both conditions, the placebo was a blue-colored hand disinfectant that was applied to the children's forearms. Independent of MT, the placebo treatment significantly increased both heat pain threshold and tolerance. The threshold placebo effect was more pronounced for girls than boys. In addition, independent of the expectation treatment, low-MT boys showed a lower tolerance increase on the left compared to the right side. Finally, MT specifically modulated tolerance on the right forearm side: Low-MT boys showed an increase, whereas high-MT boys showed a decrease in heat pain tolerance. This study documented a substantial expectation-induced placebo analgesia response in children (girls > boys) and demonstrated MT and gender-dependent laterality effects in pain perception. The findings may help improve individualized pain management for children. Perspective: The study documents the first experimental evidence for a substantial expectancy-induced placebo analgesia response in healthy children aged 6 to 9 years (girls > boys). Moreover, the effect was substantially higher than the placebo response typically found in adults. The findings may help improve individualized pain management for children.

The aim of this study was to compare the cerebral and behavioral response to positive treatment effects of antidepressants or placebo. Ninety-two fibromyalgia patients participated in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with milnacipran, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Before and after treatment, measures of cerebral pain processing were obtained using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Also, there were stimulus response assessments of pressure pain, measures of weekly pain, and fibromyalgia impact. Following treatment, milnacipran responders exhibited significantly higher activity in the posterior cingulum compared with placebo responders. The mere exposure to milnacipran did not explain our findings because milnacipran responders exhibited increased activity also in comparison to milnacipran nonresponders. Stimulus response assessments revealed specific antihyperalgesic effects in milnacipran responders, which was also correlated with reduced clinical pain and with increased activation of the posterior cingulum. A short history of pain predicted positive treatment response to milnacipran. We report segregated neural mechanisms for positive responses to treatment with milnacipran and placebo, reflected in the posterior cingulum. The increase of pain-evoked activation in the posterior cingulum may reflect a normalization of altered default mode network processing, an alteration implicated in fibromyalgia pathophysiology. Perspective: This study presents neural and psychophysical correlates to positive treatment responses in patients with fibromyalgia, treated with either milnacipran or placebo. The comparison between placebo responders and milnacipran responders may shed light on the specific mechanisms involved in antidepressant treatment of chronic pain.

Based on the potential contribution of proinflammatory cytokines to CRPS pathogenesis and prior research with thalidomide, we investigated lenalidomide, a thalidomide derivative, for CRPS treatment. We conducted a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of oral lenalidomide 10 mg once daily in consenting patients with unilateral or bilateral CRPS type 1. The study comprised 12 weeks of treatment followed by a long-term extension. The primary efficacy outcome was reduced pain in the index limb, defined as >= 30% improvement from baseline using an 11-point numeric rating scale. One hundred eighty-four subjects enrolled. The primary endpoint was not met because equal proportions of treated (16.1%) and control (16.1%) subjects achieved the outcome; however, lenalidomide was well tolerated, with no evidence of neuropathy or major adverse effects. This study is the largest controlled, blinded clinical trial in subjects with chronic CRPS using the Budapest research criteria. It demonstrates the feasibility of conducting high-quality clinical trials in CRPS type 1 and provides considerations for designing future trials. Perspective: This article reports an adequately powered, controlled clinical trial in subjects with CRPS. Treatment and placebo were equally effective, but the study demonstrated that lenalidomide treatment is feasible in this population. The study provides examples to consider in designing future CRPS trials.

Most patients will lose decision-making capacity at the end of life. Little is known about the quality of care received by patients who have family involved in their care. Objectives. To evaluate differences in the receipt of quality end-of-life care for patients who died with and without family involvement. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 34,290 decedents from 146 acute and long-term care Veterans Affairs facilities between 2010 and 2011. Outcomes included: 1) palliative care consult, 2) chaplain visit, and 3) death in an inpatient hospice or palliative care unit. We also assessed "do not resuscitate" (DNR) orders. Family involvement was defined as documented discussions with the health care team in the last month of life. We used logistic regression adjusted for demographics, comorbidity, and clustered by facility. For chaplain visit, hospice or palliative care unit death, and DNR, we additionally adjusted for palliative care consults. Results. Mean (SD) age was 74 (+/- 12) years, 98% were men, and 19% were nonwhite. Most decedents (94.2%) had involved family. Veterans with involved family were more likely to have had a palliative care consult, adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 4.31 (95% CI 3.90-4.76); a chaplain visit, AOR 1.18 (95% CI 1.07-1.31); and a DNR order, AOR 4.59 (95% CI 4.08-5.16) but not more likely to die in a hospice or palliative care unit. Conclusion. Family involvement at the end of life is associated with receipt of palliative care consultation and a chaplain visit and a higher likelihood of a DNR order. Clinicians should support early advance care planning for vulnerable patients who may lack family or friends.

The study objectives are (1) to increase ICD deactivation conversations, (2) to increase the number of ICDs deactivated, and (3) to improve psychological outcomes in bereaved caregivers. The unit of randomization is the hospital, the intervention is aimed at HF clinicians, and the patient and caregiver are the units of analysis. Three hospitals were randomized to usual care and three to intervention. The intervention consists of an interactive educational session, clinician reminders, and individualized feedback. We enroll patients with advanced HF and their caregivers, and then we regularly survey them to evaluate whether the intervention has improved communication between them and their HF providers. We encountered three implementation barriers. First, there were institutional review board concerns at two sites because of the palliative nature of the study. Second, we had difficulty in creating entry criteria that accurately identified an HF population at high risk of dying. Third, we had to adapt our entry criteria to the changing landscape of ventricular assist devices and cardiac transplant eligibility. Here we present our novel solutions to the difficulties we encountered. Our work has the ability to enhance conduct of future studies focusing on improving care for patients with advanced illness.

However, resistance inevitably develops, and more effective EGFR inhibitors are needed. Dacomitinib is a covalent pan-HER inhibitor that has shown clinical activity in patients previously treated with gefitinib or erlotinib. We did a trial of dacomitinib as initial systemic therapy in clinically and molecularly selected patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods In this open-label, multicentre, phase 2 trial, we enrolled treatment-naive patients with advanced lung cancer who had clinical (never-smokers [<100 cigarettes per lifetime] or former light smokers [<10 pack-years per lifetime] and >= 15 years since last cigarette) or molecular (EGFR mutation, regardless of smoking status) characteristics associated with response to EGFR inhibitors. We gave dacomitinib orally once daily (45 mg or 30 mg) until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal. We used Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria (version 1.0) to investigate the activity of dacomitinib in all patients with a baseline scan and at least one post-treatment scan, with investigator assessment of response and progression. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival at 4 months in the as-enrolled population, with a null hypothesis of progression-free survival at 4 months of 50% or less. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials. gov, number NCT00818441, and is no longer accruing patients. Findings Between March 11, 2009, and April 1, 2011, we enrolled 89 patients from 25 centres, including 45 (51%) with EGFR-activating mutations in exon 19 (n=25) or exon 21 (n=20). Progression-free survival at 4 months was 76.8% (95% CI 66.4-84.4) in the as-enrolled population, and was 95.5% (95% CI 83.2-98.9) in the EGFR-mutant population. The most common all-grade treatment-related adverse events were diarrhoea in 83 (93%) patients, dermatitis acneiform in 69 (78%) patients, dry skin in 39 (44%) patients, and stomatitis in 36 (40%) patients. Two patients (2%) had grade 4 treatment-related events (one with hypokalaemia and one with dyspnoea). No grade 5 toxicities were recorded. Interpretation Dacomitinib had encouraging clinical activity as initial systemic treatment in clinically or molecularly selected patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

TI Safety and tolerability of ixazomib, an oral proteasome inhibitor, in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma: an open-label phase 1/2 study SO LANCET ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DOSE DEXAMETHASONE; BORTEZOMIB; THERAPY; THALIDOMIDE; TRIAL; MAINTENANCE; PREDNISONE; MLN9708; MODELS; CELL AB Background The combination of bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone is a highly effective therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Ixazomib is an investigational, oral, proteasome inhibitor with promising anti-myeloma effects and low rates of peripheral neuropathy. In a phase 1/2 trial we aimed to assess the safety, tolerability, and activity of ixazomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Methods We enrolled patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma aged 18 years or older with measurable disease, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2, and no grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy, and treated them with oral ixazomib (days 1, 8, 15) plus lenalidomide 25 mg (days 1-21) and dexamethasone 40 mg (days 1, 8, 15, 22) for up to 12 28-day cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with ixazomib alone. In phase 1, we gave patients escalating doses of ixazomib (1.68-3.95 mg/m(2) ) to establish the recommended dose for phase 2. The primary endpoints were maximum tolerated dose for phase 1, and the rate of very good partial response or better for phase 2. Safety analyses were done in all patients who received at least one dose of study drug; efficacy analyses were done in all patients who received at least one dose of study drug at the phase 2 dose, had measurable disease at baseline, and had at least one post-baseline response assessment. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials. gov, number NCT01217957. Findings Between Nov 22, 2010, and Feb 28, 2012, we enrolled 65 patients (15 to phase 1 and 50 to phase 2). Four doselimiting toxic events were noted in phase 1: one at a dose of ixazomib of 2.97 mg/m(2) and three at 3.95 mg/m(2). The maximum tolerated dose of ixazomib was established as 2.97 mg/m(2) and the recommended phase 2 dose was 2.23 mg/m(2), which was converted to a 4.0 mg fixed dose based on population pharmacokinetic results. Grade 3 or higher adverse events related to any drug were reported in 41 (63%) patients, including skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (11 patients, 17%), neutropenia (eight patients, 12%), and thrombocytopenia (five patients, 8%); drug-related peripheral neuropathy of grade 3 or higher occurred in four (6%) patients. Five patients discontinued because of adverse events. In 64 response-evaluable patients, 37 (58%, 95% CI 45-70) had a very good partial response or better. Interpretation The all-oral combination of weekly ixazomib plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone was generally well tolerated and appeared active in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. These results support the phase 3 trial development of this combination for multiple myeloma. C1 [Kumar, Shaji K.; Rajkumar, Vincent] Mayo Clin, Div Hematol, Rochester, MN 55905 USA.

As such, bio-optimized materials derived from them hold great promise for photonic applications. Here, we show that biologically produced fluorescent proteins retain their high brightness even at the maximum density in solid state through a special molecular structure that provides optimal balance between high protein concentration and low resonance energy transfer self-quenching. Dried films of green fluorescent protein show low fluorescence quenching (-7 dB) and support strong optical amplification (g(net) = 22 cm(-1); 96 dB cm(-1)). Using these properties, we demonstrate vertical cavity surface emitting micro-lasers with low threshold (<100 pJ, outperforming organic semiconductor lasers) and self-assembled all-protein ring lasers. Moreover, solid-state blends of different proteins support efficient Forster resonance energy transfer, with sensitivity to intermolecular distance thus allowing all-optical sensing. The design of fluorescent proteins may be exploited for bio-inspired solid-state luminescent molecules or nanoparticles.

Kras-driven genetically engineered mouse models of non-small-cell lung cancer faithfully predict the response of human lung cancers to systemic chemotherapy. Owing to development of multifocal disease, however, these models have not been usable in studies of outcomes following focal radiotherapy (RT). We report the development of a preclinical platform to deliver state-of-the-art image-guided RT in these models. Presence of a single tumour as usually diagnosed in patients is modelled by confined injection of adenoviral Cre recombinase. Furthermore, three-dimensional conformal planning and state-of-the-art image-guided dose delivery are performed as in humans. We evaluate treatment efficacies of two different radiation regimens and find that Kras-driven tumours can temporarily be stabilized upon RT, whereas additional loss of either Lkb1 or p53 renders these lesions less responsive to RT.

TI High-throughput detection of miRNAs and gene-specific mRNA at the single-cell level by flow cytometry SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID IN-SITU HYBRIDIZATION; T-CELLS; EXPRESSION; SEQ; MICRORNAS; PCR; DNA AB Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is a method that uses fluorescent probes to detect specific nucleic acid sequences at the single-cell level. Here we describe optimized protocols that exploit a highly sensitive FISH method based on branched DNA technology to detect mRNA and miRNA in human leukocytes. This technique can be multiplexed and combined with fluorescent antibody protein staining to address a variety of questions in heterogeneous cell populations. We demonstrate antigen-specific upregulation of IFN gamma and IL-2 mRNAs in HIV- and CMV-specific T cells. We show simultaneous detection of cytokine mRNA and corresponding protein in single cells. We apply this method to detect mRNAs for which flow antibodies against the corresponding proteins are poor or are not available. We use this technique to show modulation of a microRNA critical for T-cell function, miR-155. We adapt this assay for simultaneous detection of mRNA and proteins by ImageStream technology.

In vivo, the interaction interface is associated with spatially resolved distributions of cancer and stromal phenotypes. Here, we establish a micropatterned tumour-stromal assay (mu TSA) with laser capture microdissection to control the location of co-cultured cells and analyse bulk and interfacial tumour-stromal signalling in driving cancer progression. mu TSA reveals a spatial distribution of phenotypes in concordance with human oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer samples, and heterogeneous drug activity relative to the tumour-stroma interface. Specifically, an unknown mechanism of reversine is shown in targeting tumour-stromal interfacial interactions using ER+ MCF-7 breast cancer and bone marrow-derived stromal cells. Reversine suppresses MCF-7 tumour growth and bone metastasis in vivo by reducing tumour stromalization including collagen deposition and recruitment of activated stromal cells. This study advocates mu TSA as a platform for studying tumour microenvironmental interactions and cancer field effects with applications in drug discovery and development.

Neuro and genotoxicity of this agent were evaluated following daily subcutaneous injections at 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg or its vehicle to laboratory rats during one week, at the end of which somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and power spectrum of the electroencephalogram (EEGp) were recorded under urethane anesthesia. In another group of conscious animals, auditory startle reflex (ASR) was evaluated followed, after euthanasia, with measurements of plasma B-esterases, and genotoxicity with the alkaline comet assay (ACA) at the same CPF doses. The results indicated a CPF dose related inhibition of B-esterases. Enhanced inhibition of the ASR by a subthreshold pre-pulse was observed at all doses and ACA showed a significant higher DNA damage than vehicle controls in animals exposed to 10 mg/kg CPF. A trend to higher frequencies of EEGp and an increase in amplitude of the first negative wave of the SEP were found at all doses. The first positive wave of the SEP decreased at the CPF dose of 10 mg/kg. In summary, a shift to higher EEG frequencies and alterations of somatosensory and auditory input to the central nervous system were sensitive manifestations of CPF toxicity, associated with depression of B-esterases. The changes in electrical activity of the cerebral cortex and DNA damage observed at doses that do not elicit overt toxicity may be useful in the detection of CPF exposure before clinical signs appear.

TI Heteroclitic XBP1 peptides evoke tumor-specific memory cytotoxic T lymphocytes against breast cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer cells SO ONCOIMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE breast / colon / pancreatic cancer; cancer vaccine; heteroclitic peptides; XBP1 ID UNFOLDED PROTEIN RESPONSE; TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR EOMESODERMIN; POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION; ENDOPLASMIC-RETICULUM; MULTIPLE-MYELOMA; ER STRESS; BONE-MARROW; EFFECTOR; BET; EXPRESSION AB XBP1 is a critical transcriptional activator of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which increases tumor cell survival under prolonged endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and hypoxic conditions. This study was designed to evaluate the immunogenicity of heteroclitic XBP1 unspliced (US)(184-192) (YISPWILAV) and heteroclictic XBP1 spliced (SP)(367-375) (YLFPQLISV) HLA-A2 peptides, and to characterize the specific activities of XBP1 peptides-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (XBP1-CTL) against breast cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer cells. The XBP1-CTL had upregulated expression of critical T cell markers and displayed HLA-A2-restricted and antigen-specific activities against breast cancer, colon cancer and pancreatic cancer cells. XBP1-CTL were enriched withCD45ROC memory CTL, which showed high expression of critical T cell markers (CD28, ICOS, CD69, CD40L), cell proliferation and antitumor activities as compared to CD45RO(-) non-memory CTL. The effector memory (EM: CD45RO(+)CCR7(-)) subset had the highest level of cell proliferation while the central memory (CM: CD45RO(+)CCR7(+)) subset demonstrated enhanced functional activities (CD107a degranulation, IFN gamma/IL-2 production) upon recognition of the respective tumor cells. Furthermore, both the EM and CM XBP1-CTL subsets expressed high levels of Th1 transcription regulators Tbet and Eomes. The highest frequencies of IFN gamma or granzyme B producing cells were detected within CM XBP1-CTL subset that were either Tbet(+) or Eomes(+) in responding to the tumor cells. These results demonstrate the immunotherapeutic potential of a cocktail of immunogenic HLA-A2 specific heteroclitic XBP1 US184-192 and heteroclictic XBP1 SP367-375 peptides to induce CD3(+)CD8(+) CTL enriched for CM and EM cells with specific antitumor activities against a variety of solid tumors.

TI Interleukin-6 receptor and its ligand interleukin-6 are opposite markers for survival and infiltration with mature myeloid cells in ovarian cancer SO ONCOIMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE epithelial ovarian cancer; IL-6, interleukin-6; IL-6R; interleukin-6 receptor; pSTAT3; tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells ID T-CELLS; PROGNOSTIC-SIGNIFICANCE; DENDRITIC CELLS; M2 MACROPHAGES; POOR-PROGNOSIS; CARCINOMA; EXPRESSION; THERAPY; TARGET; DIFFERENTIATION AB An increased level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is correlated with a worse prognosis. IL-6 stimulates tumor-growth and inflammation. We investigated the intricate interaction between the IL-6 signaling pathway and tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells (TIMs) to determine their prognostic impact in EOC. 160 EOC samples were analyzed for the expression of IL-6, its receptor (IL-6R) and downstream signaling via pSTAT3 by immunohistochemistry. Triple color immunofluorescence confocal microscopy was used to identify myeloid cell populations by CD14, CD33, and CD163. The relationship between these markers, tumor-infiltrating immune cells, clinical-pathological characteristics and survival was investigated. EOC displayed a dense infiltration with myeloid cells, in particular of the CD163(+) type. The distribution pattern of all myeloid subtypes was comparable among the different histological subtypes. Analysis of the tumor cells revealed a high expression of IL-6R in 15% and of IL-6 in 23% of patients. Interestingly, tumors expressing IL-6 or IL-6R formed two different groups. Tumors with a high expression of IL-6R displayed low mature myeloid cell infiltration and a longer disease-specific survival (DSS), especially in late stage tumors. High expression of IL-6R was an independent prognostic factor for survival by multivariate analyses (hazard ratio = 0.474, p = 0.011). In contrast, tumors with high epithelial IL-6 expression displayed a dense infiltration of mature myeloid cells and were correlated with a shorter DSS. Furthermore, in densely CD8(+) T-cell infiltrated tumors, the ratio between these lymphoid cells and CD163(+) myeloid cells was predictive for survival. Thus, IL-6 and IL-6R are opposite markers for myeloid cell infiltration and survival. C1 [Wouters, M. C. A.; Nijman, H.

The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 3 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. Recent and relevant literature reviewed by the panel led to establishment of criteria for appropriate use of radiation therapy in postprostatectomy prostate cancer. The discussion includes treatment technique, appropriate dose, field design, and the role of prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

The objectives were to (1) determine the frequency of specific diagnoses in a series of white lesions, and (2) describe the nature of keratotic lesions that are neither reactive nor dysplastic. Study Design. White lesions were analyzed and diagnosed as reactive keratoses, dysplastic/malignant, or keratoses of unknown significance (KUS). Results. Of the 1251 specimens that were evaluated, 703 met criteria for inclusion, and approximately 75% were reactive, 10% dysplastic/malignant, and 14% KUS. Excluding reactive keratoses, 43% were dysplastic/malignant and 57% were KUS. Conclusions. Reactive keratoses were the most common white lesions followed by lichen planus. Dysplastic/ malignant lesions constituted almost 50% of all true leukoplakias. KUS constituted the remaining cases and do not show typical reactive histopathology as well as clear dysplasia. They may represent evolving or devolving reactive keratoses but may also represent the very earliest dysplasia phenotype. Clinical findings may be helpful in differentiating the two.

Based on available research, we hypothesized that baseline theta oscillations would prospectively predict response to hypnotic analgesia. Analyses involving other oscillations and the other treatments (meditation, neurofeedback, and both active and sham transcranial direct current stimulation) were viewed as exploratory, given the lack of previous research examining brain oscillations as predictors of response to these other treatments. DesignRandomized controlled study of single sessions of four neuromodulatory pain treatments and a control procedure. MethodsThirty individuals with spinal cord injury and chronic pain had their EEG recorded before each session of four active treatments (hypnosis, meditation, EEG biofeedback, transcranial direct current stimulation) and a control procedure (sham transcranial direct stimulation). ResultsAs hypothesized, more presession theta power was associated with greater response to hypnotic analgesia. In exploratory analyses, we found that less baseline alpha power predicted pain reduction with meditation. ConclusionsThe findings support the idea that different patients respond to different pain treatments and that between-person treatment response differences are related to brain states as measured by EEG. The results have implications for the possibility of enhancing pain treatment response by either 1) better patient/treatment matching or 2) influencing brain activity before treatment is initiated in order to prepare patients to respond. Research is needed to replicate and confirm the findings in additional samples of individuals with chronic pain.

Kinase hyperactivity may be a consistent feature of ALS and FTLD-TDP, as phosphorylated TDP-43 is not observed in the absence of neurodegeneration. By examining changes in TDP-43 phosphorylation state, we have identified kinases controlling TDP-43 phosphorylation in a C. elegans model of ALS. In this kinome-wide survey, we identified homologs of the tau tubulin kinases 1 and 2 (TTBK1 and TTBK2), which were also identified in a prior screen for kinase modifiers of TDP-43 behavioral phenotypes. Using refined methodology, we demonstrate TTBK1 and TTBK2 directly phosphorylate TDP-43 in vitro and promote TDP-43 phosphorylation in mammalian cultured cells. TTBK1/2 overexpression drives phosphorylation and relocalization of TDP-43 from the nucleus to cytoplasmic inclusions reminiscent of neuropathologic changes in disease states. Furthermore, protein levels of TTBK1 and TTBK2 are increased in frontal cortex of FTLD-TDP patients, and TTBK1 and TTBK2 co-localize with TDP-43 inclusions in ALS spinal cord. These kinases may represent attractive targets for therapeutic intervention for TDP-43 proteinopathies such as ALS and FTLD-TDP.

TI Altered Chromatin Occupancy of Master Regulators Underlies Evolutionary Divergence in the Transcriptional Landscape of Erythroid Differentiation SO PLOS GENETICS LA English DT Article ID CONGENITAL DYSERYTHROPOIETIC ANEMIA; DIAMOND-BLACKFAN ANEMIA; EMBRYONIC STEM-CELLS; MODEL-BASED ANALYSIS; CHIP-SEQ REVEALS; FACTOR-BINDING; GENE-EXPRESSION; HISTONE MODIFICATIONS; HUMAN GENOME; DNA AB Erythropoiesis is one of the best understood examples of cellular differentiation. Morphologically, erythroid differentiation proceeds in a nearly identical fashion between humans and mice, but recent evidence has shown that networks of gene expression governing this process are divergent between species. We undertook a systematic comparative analysis of six histone modifications and four transcriptional master regulators in primary proerythroblasts and erythroid cell lines to better understand the underlying basis of these transcriptional differences. Our analyses suggest that while chromatin structure across orthologous promoters is strongly conserved, subtle differences are associated with transcriptional divergence between species. Many transcription factor (TF) occupancy sites were poorly conserved across species (similar to 25% for GATA1, TAL1, and NFE2) but were more conserved between proerythroblasts and cell lines derived from the same species. We found that certain cis-regulatory modules co-occupied by GATA1, TAL1, and KLF1 are under strict evolutionary constraint and localize to genes necessary for erythroid cell identity. More generally, we show that conserved TF occupancy sites are indicative of active regulatory regions and strong gene expression that is sustained during maturation. Our results suggest that evolutionary turnover of TF binding sites associates with changes in the underlying chromatin structure, driving transcriptional divergence. We provide examples of how this framework can be applied to understand epigenomic variation in specific regulatory regions, such as the beta-globin gene locus. Our findings have important implications for understanding epigenomic changes that mediate variation in cellular differentiation across species, while also providing a valuable resource for studies of hematopoiesis.

We analyzed nine TFs, selected by in silico analysis of an Nkx2.5 enhancer, for their ability to transactivate the respective enhancer element that drives, specifically, expression of genes in cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). Mzf1 showed significant activity in reporter assays and bound directly to the Nkx2.5 cardiac enhancer (Nkx2.5 CE) during murine ES cell differentiation. While Mzf1 is established as a hematopoietic TF, its ability to regulate cardiogenesis is completely unknown. Mzf1 expression was significantly enriched in CPCs from in vitro differentiated ES cells and in mouse embryonic hearts. To examine the effect of Mzf1 overexpression on CPC formation, we generated a double transgenic, inducible, tetOMzf1-Nkx2.5 CE eGFP ES line. During in vitro differentiation an early and continuous Mzf1 overexpression inhibited CPC formation and cardiac gene expression. A late Mzf1 overexpression, coincident with a second physiological peak of Mzf1 expression, resulted in enhanced cardiogenesis. These findings implicate a novel, temporal-specific role of Mzf1 in embryonic heart development. Thereby we add another piece of puzzle in understanding the complex mechanisms of vertebrate cardiac development and progenitor cell differentiation. Consequently, this knowledge will be of critical importance to guide efficient cardiac regenerative strategies and to gain further insights into the molecular basis of congenital heart malformations.

The dimensionality of human connectivity data is high, and making sense of the complex networks in connectomics requires sophisticated visualization and analysis software. The current availability of software packages to analyze the human connectome is limited. The Connectome Visualization Utility (CVU) is a new software package designed for the visualization and network analysis of human brain networks. CVU complements existing software packages by offering expanded interactive analysis and advanced visualization features, including the automated visualization of networks in three different complementary styles and features the special visualization of scalar graph theoretical properties and modular structure. By decoupling the process of network creation from network visualization and analysis, we ensure that CVU can visualize networks from any imaging modality. CVU offers a graphical user interface, interactive scripting, and represents data uses transparent neuroimaging and matrix-based file types rather than opaque application-specific file formats.

TI Anti-alpha 4 Antibody Treatment Blocks Virus Traffic to the Brain and Gut Early, and Stabilizes CNS Injury Late in Infection SO PLOS PATHOGENS LA English DT Article ID SIMIAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS; CENTRAL-NERVOUS-SYSTEM; ACUTE SIV INFECTION; ACUTE HIV-INFECTION; MULTIPLE-SCLEROSIS; T-CELLS; MICROBIAL TRANSLOCATION; ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY; CD8(+) LYMPHOCYTES; LYMPHOID-TISSUE AB Four SIV-infected monkeys with high plasma virus and CNS injury were treated with an anti-alpha 4 blocking antibody (natalizumab) once a week for three weeks beginning on 28 days post-infection (late). Infection in the brain and gut were quantified, and neuronal injury in the CNS was assessed by MR spectroscopy, and compared to controls with AIDS and SIV encephalitis. Treatment resulted in stabilization of ongoing neuronal injury (NAA/Cr by 1H MRS), and decreased numbers of monocytes/macrophages and productive infection (SIV p28(+), RNA(+)) in brain and gut. Antibody treatment of six SIV infected monkeys at the time of infection (early) for 3 weeks blocked monocyte/macrophage traffic and infection in the CNS, and significantly decreased leukocyte traffic and infection in the gut. SIV - RNA and p28 was absent in the CNS and the gut. SIV DNA was undetectable in brains of five of six early treated macaques, but proviral DNA in guts of treated and control animals was equivalent. Early treated animals had low-to-no plasma LPS and sCD163. These results support the notion that monocyte/macrophage traffic late in infection drives neuronal injury and maintains CNS viral reservoirs and lesions. Leukocyte traffic early in infection seeds the CNS with virus and contributes to productive infection in the gut. Leukocyte traffic early contributes to gut pathology, bacterial translocation, and activation of innate immunity.

While such bacteria use multiple adhesins to maintain their normal oral commensal state, recognition of platelet sialoglycans provides an intermediary for binding to damaged valvular endocardium. We use a customized sialoglycan microarray to explore the varied binding properties of phylogenetically related serine-rich repeat adhesins, the GspB, Hsa, and SrpA homologs from Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis species, which belong to a highly conserved family of glycoproteins that contribute to virulence for a broad range of Gram-positive pathogens. Binding profiles of recombinant soluble homologs containing novel sialic acid-recognizing Siglec-like domains correlate well with binding of corresponding whole bacteria to arrays. These bacteria show multiple modes of glycan, protein, or divalent cation-dependent binding to synthetic glycoconjugates and isolated glycoproteins in vitro. However, endogenous asialoglycan-recognizing clearance receptors are known to ensure that only fully sialylated glycans dominate in the endovascular system, wherein we find these particular streptococci become primarily dependent on their Siglec-like adhesins for glycan-mediated recognition events. Remarkably, despite an excess of alternate sialoglycan ligands in cellular and soluble blood components, these adhesins selectively target intact bacteria to sialylated ligands on platelets, within human whole blood. These preferred interactions are inhibited by corresponding recombinant soluble adhesins, which also preferentially recognize platelets. Our data indicate that circulating platelets may act as inadvertent Trojan horse carriers of oral streptococci to the site of damaged endocardium, and provide an explanation why it is that among innumerable microbes that gain occasional access to the bloodstream, certain viridans group streptococci have a selective advantage in colonizing damaged cardiac valves and cause infective endocarditis.

During SV40 DNA replication, ATM kinase activity prevents concatemerization of the viral genome whereas ATR activity prevents accumulation of aberrant genomes resulting from breakage of a moving replication fork as it converges with a stalled fork. However, the repair pathways that ATM and ATR orchestrate to prevent these aberrant SV40 DNA replication products are unclear. Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and Southern blotting, we show that ATR kinase activity, but not DNA-PKcs kinase activity, facilitates some aspects of double strand break (DSB) repair when ATM is inhibited during SV40 infection. To clarify which repair factors associate with viral DNA replication centers, we examined the localization of DSB repair proteins in response to SV40 infection. Under normal conditions, viral replication centers exclusively associate with homology-directed repair (HDR) and do not colocalize with non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) factors. Following ATM inhibition, but not ATR inhibition, activated DNA-PKcs and KU70/80 accumulate at the viral replication centers while CtIP and BLM, proteins that initiate 5' to 3' end resection during HDR, become undetectable. Similar to what has been observed during cellular DSB repair in S phase, these data suggest that ATM kinase influences DSB repair pathway choice by preventing the recruitment of NHEJ factors to replicating viral DNA. These data may explain how ATM prevents concatemerization of the viral genome and promotes viral propagation. We suggest that inhibitors of DNA damage signaling and DNA repair could be used during infection to disrupt productive viral DNA replication.

Remarkably, the field of therapeutic cells has evolved from the use of embryonic and adult stem cells to the use of induced pluripotent stem cells. For application of these cells in regenerative medicine, cell fate needs to be carefully controlled via external signals, such as the physical properties of an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) and biologically active molecules in the form of small molecules, peptides, and proteins. It is therefore crucial to develop biomimetic scaffolds, reflecting the nanoenvironment of three-dimensional (3D) ECM in the body. Here, we describe in situ-forming injectable hydrogel systems, prepared using a variety of chemical crosslinkers and/or physical interactions, for application in regenerative medicine. Selective and fast chemical reactions under physiological conditions are prerequisites for in situ formation of injectable hydrogels. These hydrogels are attractive for regenerative medicine because of their ease of administration, facile encapsulation of cells and biomolecules without severe toxic effects, minimally invasive treatment, and possibly enhanced patient compliance. Recently, the Michael addition reaction between thiol and vinyl groups, the click reaction between bis(yne) molecules and multiarm azides, and the Schiff base reaction have been investigated for generation of injectable hydrogels, due to the high selectivity and biocompatibility of these reactions. Noncovalent physical interactions have also been proposed as crosslinking mechanisms for in situ forming injectable hydrogels. Hydrophobic interactions, ionic interactions, stereocomplex formation, complementary pair formation, and host-guest interactions drive the formation of 3D polymeric networks. In particular, supramolecular hydrogels have been developed using the host-guest chemistry of cyclodextrin (CD) and cucurbituril (CB), which allows highly selective, simple, and biocompatible crosslinking. Molecular recognition and complex formation of supramolecules, without the need for additional additives, have been successfully applied to the 3D network formation of polymer chains. Finally, we revieliv the current state of the art of injectable hydrogel systems for application in regenerative medicine, including cell therapy and tissue regeneration. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

The primary aim of this study was to examine the temporal stability of the DSM-5 factors as measured by the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5; Weathers et al., 2010). Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to examine the structure of DSM-5 PTSD, and temporal stability over 3 time points was examined to determine if the measure reflects a consistent construct over time. Our sample was 507 combat-exposed veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who enrolled in an online intervention for problem drinking and combat-related stress (Brief et al., 2013). We administered the PCL-5 at baseline, 8-week postintervention, and 3-month follow-up assessments. The DSM-5 model provided an adequate fit to the data at baseline. Tests of equality of form and equality of factor loadings demonstrated stability of the factor structure over time, indicating temporal stability. This study confirmed the results of previous research supporting the DSM-5 model of PTSD symptoms (Elhai et al., 2012; Miller et al., 2013). This is the 1st study to demonstrate the temporal stability of the PCL-5, indicating its use in longitudinal studies measures the same construct over time.

The sample consisted of 239 veterans of different service eras and their intimate partners. Veterans and partners reported their physical and psychological IPA perpetration and victimization over the past 6 months. Methodological improvements over prior concordance studies included the use of clinician-assessed PTSD symptoms and the assessment of relationship attributions via observational coding of couples' conflict interactions. Results suggested low to moderate levels of agreement between veterans and partners and indicated that relationship satisfaction was associated with reporting less IPA than one's partner reported, replicating prior concordance findings. Previous concordance findings with self-reported PTSD symptoms were also reproduced in the current study using clinician-assessed PTSD symptoms. Veterans' PTSD symptoms were associated with reporting less IPA than their partners reported and partners' PTSD symptoms were associated with reporting more IPA than the veterans reported. Additionally, we found an association between relationship attributions and reporting discrepancies. For both dyad members, making more positive and less negative relationship attributions was associated with reporting less IPA than one's partner reported. Findings underscore the difficulty of obtaining objective self-reports of adverse behavior and highlight factors that may influence such reports. Clinically, this information could be used to better identify cases in which obtaining collateral reports of IPA are particularly warranted.

In this study, we describe relationships between acculturation and health behaviors among low-income housing residents, and examine whether these relationships are mediated by social and contextual factors. Residents of 20 low-income housing sites in the Boston metropolitan area completed surveys that assessed acculturative characteristics, social/contextual factors, and health behaviors. A composite acculturation scale was developed using latent class analysis, resulting in four distinct acculturative groups. Path analysis was used to examine interrelationships between acculturation, health behaviors, and social/contextual factors, specifically self-reported social ties, social support, stress, material hardship, and discrimination. Of the 828 respondents, 69% were born outside of the U.S. Less acculturated groups exhibited healthier dietary practices and were less likely to smoke than more acculturated groups. Acculturation had a direct effect on diet and smoking, but not physical activity. Acculturation also showed an indirect effect on diet through its relationship with material hardship. Our finding that material hardship mediated the relationship between acculturation and diet suggests the need to explicate the significant role of financial resources in interventions seeking to promote healthy diets among low-income immigrant groups. Future research should examine these social and contextual mediators using larger, population-based samples, preferably with longitudinal data. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Huw Baker, Stephanie Stanwell, Peter TI A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Concussion in Rugby Union SO SPORTS MEDICINE LA English DT Review ID CHRONIC TRAUMATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY; VISUAL SCREENING TOOL; WORLD-CUP; INJURY SURVEILLANCE; NEW-ZEALAND; PERFORMANCE PROJECT; SPORTS INJURIES; BRAIN-INJURY; FOLLOW-UP; PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR AB Background Rugby Union, a popular full-contact sport played throughout the world, has one of the highest rates of concussion of all full-contact sports. Objective The aim of the current review was to systematically evaluate the available evidence on concussion in Rugby Union and to conduct a meta-analysis of findings regarding the incidence of concussion. Methods Articles were retrieved via a number of online databases. The current review examined all articles published in English up to May 2014 pertaining to concussion in Rugby Union players. The key search terms included 'Rugby Union', 'rugby', 'union', and 'football', in combination with the injury terms 'athletic injuries', 'concussion', 'sports concussion', 'sports-related concussion', 'brain concussion', 'brain injury', 'brain injuries', 'mild traumatic brain injury', 'mTBI', 'traumatic brain injury', 'TBI', 'craniocerebral trauma', 'head injury', and 'brain damage'. Results The final search outcome following the eligibility screening process resulted in the inclusion of 96 articles for this review. The meta-analysis included a total of 37 studies. The results of the meta-analysis revealed an overall incidence of match-play concussion in men's rugby-15s of 4.73 per 1,000 player match hours. The incidence of concussion during training was 0.07 per 1,000 practice hours. The incidence of concussion in women's rugby-15s was 0.55 per 1,000 player match hours. In men's rugby-7s match-play, concussion incidence was 3.01 per 1,000 player match hours. The incidence of concussion varied considerably between levels of play, with elite level play recording a rate of 0.40 concussions per 1,000 player match hours, schoolboy level 0.62 concussions per 1,000 player match hours, and the community or sub-elite level recording a rate of 2.08 concussions per 1,000 player match hours. The incidence of concussion in men's rugby-15s as a function of playing position (forwards vs. backs) was 4.02 and 4.85 concussions per 1,000 player match hours, respectively. Conclusions Concussion is a common injury sustained and reported in match play and to a lesser extent during practice by Rugby Union players. Based on the available published data, there appears to be a variation in risk of concussion across level of play, with the sub-elite level having the greatest incidence of injury. Future research focused on studying the acute consequences and best management strategies in current players, and the potential longer term outcomes of concussion in retired players, is needed. A focus on the areas of prevention, injury identification, and medical management, and risk for long-term outcomes will be of benefit to current athletes.

T2D is also associated with aging, and the underlying mechanisms that increase susceptibility of an individual to develop the disease implicate epigenetics: interactions between susceptible loci and the environment. In this review, we discuss the effects of aging on beta-cell function and adaptation, besides the significance of mitochondria in islet bioenergetics and epigenome. We highlight three important modulators of the islet epigenome, namely: metabolites, hormones, and the nutritional state. Unraveling the signaling pathways that regulate the islet epigenome during aging will help to better understand the development of disease progression and to design novel therapies for diabetes prevention.

TI Capitalizing on Prescribing Pattern Variation to Compare Medications for Type 2 Diabetes SO VALUE IN HEALTH LA English DT Article DE comparative effectiveness research; instrumental variables; provider prescribing variation; type 2 diabetes ID ACUTE MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; AFFAIRS HEALTH-CARE; INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLES; ADMINISTRATIVE DATA; CLINICAL-TRIALS; GLUCOSE CONTROL; MELLITUS; RISK; ROSIGLITAZONE; MORTALITY AB Background: Clinical trials often compare hypoglycemic medications on the basis of glycemic control but do not examine long-term outcomes (e.g., mortality). This study demonstrates an alternative approach to lengthening clinical trials to assess these long-term outcomes. Objective: To use observational quasi-experimental methods using instrumental variables (lVs) to compare the effect of two hypoglycemic medications, sulfonylureas (SUs) and thiazolidinediones (TZDs), on long-term outcomes. Methods: This study used administrative data from the Veterans Health Administration and Medicare from 2000 to 2010. The study population included US veterans dually enrolled in Medicare who received a prescription for metformin and then initiated SUs or TZDs. Patients could either continue on or discontinue metformin after the initiation of the second agent. Treatment was defined as starting either a SD or a TZD. Local variations in SD prescribing rates were used as instruments in IV models to control for selection bias. Survival models predicted all cause mortality, ambulatory care sensitive condition hospitalizations, and stroke or heart attack (acute myocardial infarction). Results: Starting on SUs compared to TZDs significantly increased the likelihood of experiencing mortality and ACSC hospitalization. The estimated hazard ratio for the effect of starting on SUs compared to TZDs was 1.50 (95% confidence interval [CIJ 1.09-2.09) for all-cause mortality, 1.68 (95% Cl 1.31-2.15) for ambulatory care sensitive condition hospitalization, and 1.15 (95% CI 0.80-1.66) for acute myocardial infarction or stroke. Conclusions: Our findings suggest increased risk of major adverse events associated with SUs as a second-line agent Quasi-experimental IV methods may be an important alternative to lengthening clinical trials to assess long-term outcomes.

TI Gender-specific Research for Emergency Diagnosis and Management of Ischemic Heart Disease: Proceedings from the 2014 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference Cardiovascular Research Workgroup SO ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID CORONARY-ARTERY-DISEASE; SYNDROME EVALUATION WISE; QUANTITATIVE PRETEST PROBABILITY; ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; TAKO-TSUBO CARDIOMYOPATHY; ACUTE CHEST-PAIN; DEPARTMENT PATIENTS; ANGINA-PECTORIS; SEX-DIFFERENCES; TAKOTSUBO CARDIOMYOPATHY AB Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of death for both men and women. However, over the years, emergency physicians, cardiologists, and other health care practitioners have observed varying outcomes in men and women with symptomatic CAD. Women in general are 10 to 15 years older than men when they develop CAD, but suffer worse postinfarction outcomes compared to age-matched men. This article was developed by the cardiovascular workgroup at the 2014 Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM) consensus conference to identify sex- and gender-specific gaps in the key themes and research questions related to emergency cardiac ischemia care. The workgroup had diverse stakeholder representation from emergency medicine, cardiology, critical care, nursing, emergency medical services, patients, and major policy-makers in government, academia, and patient care. We implemented the nominal group technique to identify and prioritize themes and research questions using electronic mail, monthly conference calls, in-person meetings, and Web-based surveys between June 2013 and May 2014. Through three rounds of nomination and refinement, followed by an in-person meeting on May 13, 2014, we achieved consensus on five priority themes and 30 research questions. The overarching themes were as follows: 1) the full spectrum of sex-specific risk as well as presentation of cardiac ischemia may not be captured by our standard definition of CAD and needs to incorporate other forms of ischemic heart disease (IHD); 2) diagnosis is further challenged by sex/gender differences in presentation and variable sensitivity of cardiac biomarkers, imaging, and risk scores; 3) sex-specific pathophysiology of cardiac ischemia extends beyond conventional obstructive CAD to include other causes such as microvascular dysfunction, takotsubo, and coronary artery dissection, better recognized as IHD; 4) treatment and prognosis are influenced by sex-specific variations in biology, as well as patient-provider communication; and 5) the changing definitions of pathophysiology call for looking beyond conventionally defined cardiovascular outcomes to patient-centered outcomes. These emergency care priorities should guide future clinical and basic science research and extramural funding in an area that greatly influences patient outcomes.

There is a paucity of data regarding sex differences in the assessment and treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions in the ED. The Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference convened in Dallas, Texas, in May 2014 to develop a research agenda to address this issue among others related to sex differences in the ED. Prior to the conference, experts and stakeholders from emergency medicine and the pain research field reviewed the current literature and identified eight candidate priority areas. At the conference, these eight areas were reviewed and all eight were ratified using a nominal group technique to build consensus. These priority areas were: 1) gender differences in the pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions for pain, including differences in opioid tolerance, side effects, or misuse; 2) gender differences in pain severity perceptions, clinically meaningful differences in acute pain, and pain treatment preferences; 3) gender differences in pain outcomes of ED patients across the life span; 4) gender differences in the relationship between acute pain and acute psychological responses; 5) the influence of physician-patient gender differences and characteristics on the assessment and treatment of pain; 6) gender differences in the influence of acute stress and chronic stress on acute pain responses; 7) gender differences in biological mechanisms and molecular pathways mediating acute pain in ED populations; and 8) gender differences in biological mechanisms and molecular pathways mediating chronic pain development after trauma, stress, or acute illness exposure. These areas represent priority areas for future scientific inquiry, and gaining understanding in these will be essential to improving our understanding of sex and gender differences in the assessment and treatment of pain conditions in emergency care settings.

SO ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID UNITED-STATES; YOUNG-ADULTS; DRUG-USE; SCREENING-TEST; RISK-FACTORS; ALCOHOL-USE; ABUSE; GENDER; PREVALENCE; VIOLENCE AB ObjectivesSubstance use disorder (SUD) among women of reproductive age is a complex public health problem affecting a diverse spectrum of women and their families, with potential consequences across generations. The goals of this study were 1) to describe and compare the prevalence of patterns of injury requiring emergency department (ED) visits among SUD-positive and SUD-negative women and 2) among SUD-positive women, to investigate the association of specific categories of injury with type of substance used. MethodsThis study was a secondary analysis of a large, multisource health care utilization data set developed to analyze SUD prevalence, and health and substance abuse treatment outcomes, for women of reproductive age in Massachusetts, 2002 through 2008. Sources for this linked data set included diagnostic codes for ED, inpatient, and outpatient stay discharges; SUD facility treatment records; and vital records for women and for their neonates. ResultsInjury data (ICD-9-CM E-codes) were available for 127,227 SUD-positive women. Almost two-thirds of SUD-positive women had any type of injury, compared to 44.8% of SUD-negative women. The mean (SD) number of events also differed (2.274.1 for SUD-positive women vs. 0.731.3 for SUD-negative women, p<0.0001). For four specific injury types, the proportion injured was almost double for SUD-positive women (49.3% vs 23.4%), and the mean (SD) number of events was more than double (0.720.9 vs. 0.26 +/- 0.5, p<0.0001). The numbers and proportions of motor vehicle incidents and falls were significantly higher in SUD-positive women (22.5% vs. 12.5% and 26.6% vs. 11.0%, respectively), but the greatest differences were in self-inflicted injury (11.5% vs. 0.8%; mean +/- SD events= 0.19 +/- 0.9 vs. 0.009 +/- 0.2, p<0.0001) and purposefully inflicted injury (11.5% vs 1.9%, mean +/- SD events= 0.18 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.02 +/- 0.2, p<0.0001). In each of the injury categories that we examined, injury rates among SUD-positive women were lowest for alcohol disorders only and highest for alcohol and drug disorders combined. Among 33,600 women identified as using opioids, 2,132 (6.3%) presented to the ED with overdose. Multiple overdose visits were common (mean +/- SD= 3.67 +/- 6.70 visits). After adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, psychiatric history, and complex/chronic illness, SUD remained a significant risk factor for all types of injury, but for the suicide/self-inflicted injury category, psychiatric history was by far the stronger predictor. ConclusionsThe presence of SUD increases the likelihood that women in the 15- to 49-year age group will present to the ED with injury. Conversely, women with injury may be more likely to be involved in alcohol abuse or other substance use. The high rates of injury that we identified among women with SUD suggest the utility of including a brief, validated screen for substance use as part of an ED injury treatment protocol and referring injured women for assessment and/or treatment when scores indicate the likelihood of SUD.

Methods A novel leadership training module, which required the creation of original business plans by teams of residents, was incorporated into a psychiatry PGY-2 training curriculum. Results In the creation and presentation of their business plans, the residents demonstrated competencies in the NAS functional domains of interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, practice-based learning and improvement, and systems-based practice. Residents who responded with feedback after completing the course were very positive about their experience. Conclusions The leadership training module described here allowed residents to acquire and demonstrate many of the competencies specified in leadership-oriented NAS milestones. The module did not require additional funding or a formal rotation or "track," is scalable to accommodate any number of residents and can be modified based on available local teaching resources.

However, depression is a heterogeneous construct, with different presentations, subtypes, correlates, and responses to interventions. In response, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has suggested changes in the way depression is assessed, moving the focus to specific factors, such as cognitive, somatic, or affective symptoms. Still, there is little factor overlap between measures, and shared factors are weighted differently. To help fulfill NIMH's strategic plan, this study used canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to explore shared latent variables and redundancy across the measures. It also analyzed the psychometric properties of factor-based subscales in the Beck Depression Inventory-2nd edition (BDI-II), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D), Inventory for Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS), and Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS). Using a diverse sample of 218 students who reported at least mild depressive symptoms, this study found that the IDAS was best aligned with NIMH's strategic plan; it has complete DSM-IV/DSM-5 symptom coverage and content-valid, psychometrically sound subscales. The BDI-II, CES-D, and IDS did not have consistent subscales, nor had incomplete or incongruent coverage of DSM criteria. Furthermore, CCA revealed low redundancy across measures (23% to 41% shared variance). These results suggest that different measures of depression do not measure the same construct. As a partial solution, empirical conversion tables were provided for researchers and clinicians to empirically compare total scores from different measures.

Xu, Bing TI De Novo Chemoattractants Form Supramolecular Hydrogels for Immunomodulating Neutrophils In Vivo SO BIOCONJUGATE CHEMISTRY LA English DT Article ID PEPTIDE RECEPTORS; IMMUNE ADJUVANT; INFLAMMATION; CHEMOTAXIS; SPECIFICITY; RECRUITMENT; LEUKOCYTES; EXPRESSION; AGONISTS; BINDING AB Most immunomodulatory materials (e.g., vaccine adjuvants such as alum) modulate adaptive immunity, and yet little effort has focused on developing materials to regulate innate immunity, which get mentioned only when inflammation affects the biocompatibility of biomaterials. Traditionally considered as short-lived effector cells from innate immunity primarily for the clearance of invading microorganisms without specificity, neutrophils exhibit a key role in launching and shaping the immune response. Here we show that the incorporation of unnatural amino acids into a well-known chemoattractant-N-formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine (fMLF)-offers a facile approach to create a de novo, multifunctional chemoattractant that self-assembles to form supramolecular nanofibrils and hydrogels. This de novo chemoattractant not only exhibits preserved cross-species chemoattractant activity to human and murine neutrophils, but also effectively resists proteolysis. Thus, its hydrogel, in vivo, releases the chemoattractant and attracts neutrophils to the desired location in a sustainable manner. As a novel and general approach to generate a new class of biomaterials for modulating innate immunity, this work offers a prolonged acute inflammation model for developing various new applications.

Speech-induced brain-activation patterns in persons who stutter (PWS) are anomalous in various ways; the consistency of these aberrant patterns is a matter of ongoing debate. Here, we present a hierarchical series of coordinate-based meta-analyses addressing this issue. Two tiers of meta-analyses were performed on a 17-paper dataset (202 PWS; 167 fluent controls). Four large-scale (top-tier) meta-analyses were performed, two for each subject group (PWS and controls). These analyses robustly confirmed the regional effects previously postulated as "neural signatures of stuttering" (Brown, Ingham, Ingham, Laird, & Fox, 2005) and extended this designation to additional regions. Two smaller-scale (lower-tier) meta-analyses refined the interpretation of the large-scale analyses: (1) a between-group contrast targeting differences between PWS and controls (stuttering trait); and (2) a within-group contrast (PWS only) of stuttering with induced fluency (stuttering state).

In the late 19th century, clinicians identified the posterior pituitary as the site of pathology, and pharmacologists found multiple bioactivities there. Early in the 20th century, the amelioration of the polyuria with extracts of the posterior pituitary inaugurated a new era in therapy and advanced the hypothesis that DI was due to a hormone deficiency. Decades later, a subset of patients with polyuria unresponsive to therapy were recognized, leading to the distinction between central DI and nephrogenic DI, an early example of a hormone-resistant condition. Recognition that the posterior pituitary had 2 hormones was followed by du Vigneaud's Nobel Prize winning isolation, sequencing, and chemical synthesis of oxytocin and vasopressin. The pure hormones accelerated the development of bioassays and immunoassays that confirmed the hormone deficiency in vasopressin-sensitive DI and abundant levels of hormone in patients with the nephrogenic disorder. With both forms of the disease, acquired and inborn defects were recognized. Emerging concepts of receptors and of genetic analysis led to the recognition of patients with mutations in the genes for 1) arginine vasopressin (AVP), 2) the AVP receptor 2 (AVPR2), and 3) the aquaporin 2 water channel (AQP2). We recount here the multiple skeins of clinical and laboratory research that intersected frequently over the centuries since the first recognition of DI.

To study potential underlying mechanisms of AMD, animal models are utilized, focusing mostly on mice. Recently, genomic and phenotypic differences between the so-called control substrains, C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N, have been described in models of ocular and non-ocular diseases. In particular, the rd8 mutation of the Crb 1 gene present in the C57BL/6N has been shown to impact certain ocular phenotypes and appears to augment phenotypes generally associated with inflammation. Here, we investigated angiogenic factor and cytokine expression using pathway arrays as well as the susceptibility to laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV), a model of wet AMD, in the two substrains. Age-matched 3-month-old C57BL/ 6J and C57BL/6N animals differed in gene expression levels for angiogenic factors and cytokines, with 6N animals expressing higher levels of inflammatory markers than 6Js. Yet laser-induced CNV was comparable in size between the two substrains. This lack of difference in CNV size was correlated with a gene expression profile that was comparable between the two substrains, due to the fact that the degree of change in gene expression of inflammatory markers after CNV was blunted in 6N mice. In summary, significant gene expression differences exist between C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N animals, reinforcing the notion that appropriate litter-mate controls or genetic background controls need to be used. Contrary to our expectation, CNV was not augmented in 6N animals, suggesting that low chronic inflammation in the RPE might provide a level of pre-conditioning and protection against stress.

TI Normal cell phenotypes of breast epithelial cells provide the foundation of a breast cancer taxonomy SO EXPERT REVIEW OF ANTICANCER THERAPY LA English DT Editorial Material DE biomarkers; breast cancer diagnostics; heterogeneity; Nurses' Health Study; -omics; pathology ID CLASSIFICATION; TUMORS AB The current classification system for breast cancer is based on expression of empirical prognostic and predictive biomarkers. As an alternative, we propose a hypothesis-based ontological breast cancer classification modeled after the taxonomy of species in evolutionary biology. This approach uses normal breast epithelial cell types and differentiation lineages as the gold standard to classify tumors. We show that there are at least eleven previously undefined normal cell types in human breast epithelium and that each breast carcinoma is related to one of these normal cell types. We find that triple negative breast cancers do not have a 'basal-like' phenotype. Normal breast epithelial cells conform to four novel hormonal differentiation states and almost all human breast tumors duplicate one of these hormonal differentiation states which have significant survival differences. This ontological classification scheme provides actionable treatment strategies and provides an alternative approach for understanding tumor biology with wide-ranging implications for tumor taxonomy.

TI The Sensitivity of Standard Radiographic Foot Measures to Misalignment SO FOOT & ANKLE INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE foot; X-ray; radiograph; misalignment ID ALIGNMENT; RELIABILITY; FLATFOOT; HINDFOOT AB Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects that X-ray source misalignment has on common measurements made from anterior-poster (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) view foot radiographs. Methods: A cadaveric foot model was used to obtain ML radiographs with +/- 25 degree transverse plane misalignment. From these images the calcaneal pitch angle (CPA) and lateral talometatarsal angle (LTMA) were measured. AP images were captured with up to 30 degree sagittal plane misalignment as well as +/- 15 degree misalignment in the transverse plane at each sagittal angle. From these images the talonavicular coverage angle (TNCA) and talometatarsal angle (TMA) were measured. Results: On the ML images, the CPA was sensitive to transverse plane misalignment from -10 to -25 degrees and from 15 to 25 degrees (P < .005). The LTMA was a more reliable measurement than the CPA and did not demonstrate sensitivity to transverse plane misalignment. On the AP images, the TNCA and TMA were not sensitive to sagittal plane misalignment alone. However, at 0, 10, and 15 degrees sagittal misalignment the TNCA showed sensitivity to transverse plane misalignment (P < .0083). Conclusion: Misalignment of an X-ray source can lead to errors in the measurement of foot radiographic parameters, especially the CPA when there is transverse plane misalignment and the TNCA when there is both sagittal and transverse plane misalignment. The LTMA and TMA can be measured reliably, even with significant misalignment present.

Patients presenting with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic endometrial cancer have limited treatment options. On behalf of the Gynecologic Oncology Group, we conducted this phase II trial of nintedanib (BIBF 1120), a potent small molecule triple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of PDGFR alpha and beta, FGFR 1/3, and VEGFR 1-3, in this population. Objectives. The primary objectives were to estimate event-free survival (EFS) at 6 months and the proportion of patients who have an objective tumor response. In addition, we sought to determine the nature and degree of toxicity. Secondary objectives were to estimate progression-free and overall survival. Methods. This was a two-stage, single-arm phase II study. Eligible patients were treated with single-agent nintedanib at a dose of 200 mg twice daily. Results. Of 37 patients enrolled, 32 were eligible. There were zero complete and three partial responses for an overall response rate of 9.4% (90%2-sided CI = 2.6-22.5%). Seven patients (21.9%; 90%2-sided CI = 10.7-37.2%) were EFS at 6 months, with one patient continuing on study at the time of this writing. Serious toxicity included the following grade 3 events: gastrointestinal toxicity (5), neutropenia (1), edema (1), hypertension (1), and liver function abnormalities (5). Conclusions. Nintedanib lacked sufficient activity as a single agent to warrant enrollment to second stage. However, predinical data indicate it may be synergistic with paclitaxel in a population of patients enriched for specific p53 mutations that result in loss of function. Subsequent studies may evaluate this agent in combination with paclitaxel. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI Combining clinical assessment and the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm for the prediction of ovarian cancer SO GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article DE ROMA; Ovarian cancer; Pelvic mass; Risk assessment ID PELVIC MASS; ADNEXAL MASS; CA 125; HE-4; WOMEN; MULTIPLE; MARKERS; CA-125; ROMA; BIOMARKERS AB Objectives. AGOG guidelines for the evaluation of women with a pelvic mass employ a combination of physical exam, imaging, and CA125 to guide physicians in the triage of women to gynecologic oncologists. We studied the use of ROMA with clinical assessment for cancer risk assessment in women with a pelvic mass. Methods. This was a prospective, multicenter trial evaluating women with a pelvic mass who had an initial clinical risk assessment (ICRA) performed by a generalist. ROMA scores were calculated and sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were determined for ICRA and ICRA + ROMA. Results. A total of 461 women were entered into the study. There were 375 benign tumors, 48 EOC, 18 LMP tumors and 20 non-ovarian malignancies. For detection of ovarian cancer alone, ICRA had a sensitivity of 85.4%, a specificity of 84.3%, and a NPV of 97.8%. Adding ROMA to ICRA produced a significant improvement of 8.4% in sensitivity, achieving a sensitivity of 93.8% with a specificity of 67.2% and a NPV of 98.8%. Examination of all malignancies (ovarian & non-ovarian) provided a sensitivity of 89.7% for ROMA + ICRA in comparison to 77.9% for ICRA alone, a significant increase in sensitivity of 11.8%. The NPV also significantly increased from 95.5% to 97.3%. Overall, ROMA detected 13 additional malignancies missed by ICRA. Conclusions. Adjunctive use of ROMA with clinical assessment improves the stratification of women with a pelvic mass into low and high risk groups for ovarian cancer. The combination is particularly effective in ruling out malignant disease. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. C1 [Moore, Richard G.; Miller, M.

These opposing views have even metaphorically come to blows at the highly entertaining "SGO Fight Night" that took place during the 2008 Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, replete with teams supporting each of the would-be gladiators. Decades of retrospective data supporting the clinical benefit of PDS has recently been challenged by the publication in 2010 of a randomized phase III trial conducted in Europe supporting the clinical efficacy of NAC. Naturally, a firestorm of criticism among believers ensued, yet practice patterns within the United States did slowly change, suggesting an emerging block of dissenters. Another randomized phase III European trial, as presented in abstract form in 2013, showed similar findings. Few other topics within the field of gynecologic oncology have participants so entrenched in the "corners" of their existing practice patterns. This review attempts to consolidate the current evidence supporting both sides so that the patient can be declared the winner. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

As such, organ transplantation is used worldwide as a curative, life-saving treatment for people with end-stage organ failure. However, the successes of organ transplantation have resulted in the number of patients on transplant waiting lists far exceeding the number of organs available, with growing numbers of patients dying while awaiting transplants. In order to address this critical organ shortage, a number of legislative changes have been implemented worldwide to increase the number of individuals registering as organ donors. These have included presumed consent donation, incentivized organ donation, commercial organ transplantation and mandated choice models. This article will address these public health policies in turn. The implementation of these strategies and the evidence for their efficacy will be evaluated. Based on this, we have identified that well-supported transplant coordinators approaching next-of-kin, incentives and public health campaigns are key factors that increase organ donation. Finally we propose a modified mandated choice model that may be an alternative option to maximize the number of available organs for transplantation. (C) 2014 Surgical Associates Ltd.

Weight based UFH expedites time to therapeutic anticoagulation. Treatment with UFH is challenging in surgical patients due to their high propensity for bleeding. We sought to test the hypothesis that an initial weight based UFH infusion in surgical patients increases the percentage of patients who achieve early therapeutic anticoagulation without increasing the risk of hemorrhagic events. Methods: Using a non-concurrent retrospective cohort study design, adult surgical patients receiving UFH for venous thromboembolism (VTE) at a tertiary care center were included. Two groups were identified: the weight based (WB) and the under-dosed (UD) heparin groups. For our primary outcome, we compared percentage of patients in each group that achieved a therapeutic PTT within 24 h. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of supratherapeutic PTT levels, hemorrhagic events, and complications associated with VTE. Results: 73 subjects met study criteria, which included 8 subjects in the WB group and 65 in the UD group. The demographic, baseline laboratory, admitting service and type of VTE were similar between the 2 groups. The percentages of WB and UD subjects who achieved a therapeutic PTT within 24 h were 75% and 28%, respectively (p < 0.01). There was no difference in the incidence of supratherapeutic PTT or hemorrhagic events. Conclusion: Surgical patients who received an initial weight based UFH infusion achieved earlier therapeutic anticoagulation compared to under-dosed UFH without increasing the occurrence of supratherapeutic PTT levels or hemorrhagic events.

TI Comparison of Hip Geometry, Strength, and Estimated Fracture Risk in Women With Anorexia Nervosa and Overweight/Obese Women SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM LA English DT Article ID BONE-MINERAL DENSITY; TROCHANTERIC SOFT-TISSUES; BODY-MASS INDEX; POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN; FAT MASS; ASSOCIATION; MEN; OSTEOPOROSIS; PREDICTION; IMPACT AB Context: Data suggest that anorexia nervosa (AN) and obesity are complicated by elevated fracture risk, but skeletal site-specific data are lacking. Traditional bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are unsatisfactory at both weight extremes. Hip structural analysis (HSA) uses dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry datato estimate hip geometry and femoral strength. Factor of risk (phi) is the ratio of force applied to the hip from a fall with respect to femoral strength; higher values indicate higher hip fracture risk. Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate hip fracture risk in AN and overweight/obese women. Design: This was a cross-sectional study. Setting: The study was conducted at a Clinical Research Center. Patients: Patients included 368 women (aged 19-45 y): 246 AN, 53 over weight/obese, and 69 lean controls. Main Outcome Measures: HSA-derived femoral geometry, peak factor of risk for hip fracture, and factor of risk for hip fracture attenuated by trochanteric soft tissue (phi(attenuated)) were measured. Results: Most HSA-derived parameters were impaired in AN and superior in obese/overweight women vs controls at the narrow neck, intertrochanteric, and femoral shaft (P <= .03). The phi(attenuated) was highest in AN and lowest in overweight/obese women (P < .0001). Lean mass was associated with superior, and duration of amenorrhea with inferior, HSA-derived parameters and phi(attenuated) (P < .05). Mean phi(attenuated) (P = .036), but not femoral neck BMD or HSA-estimated geometry, was impaired in women who had experienced fragility fractures. Conclusions: Femoral geometry by HSA, hip BMD, and factor of risk for hip fracture attenuated by soft tissue are impaired in AN and superior in obesity, suggesting higher and lower hip fracture risk, respectively. Only attenuated factor of risk was associated with fragility fracture prevalence, suggesting that variability in soft tissue padding may help explain site-specific fracture risk not captured by BMD.

TI Overweight/Obese Adults With Pituitary Disorders Require Lower Peak Growth Hormone Cutoff Values on Glucagon Stimulation Testing to Avoid Overdiagnosis of Growth Hormone Deficiency SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM LA English DT Article ID FATTY-ACID DEPRESSION; BODY-MASS INDEX; GH DEFICIENCY; ENDOCRINE-SOCIETY; PROVOCATIVE TESTS; OBESE SUBJECTS; SECRETION; DIAGNOSIS; ARGININE; RELEASE AB Context: Obesity is associated with diminished GH secretion, which may result in the over-diagnosis of adult GH deficiency (GHD) in overweight/obese pituitary patients. However, there are no body mass index (BMI)-specific peak GH cutoffs for the glucagon stimulation test (GST), the favored dynamic test for assessing adult GHD in the United States. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine a peak GH cutoff level for the diagnosis of adult GHD in overweight/obese individuals using the GST. Design: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study. Setting: The study was conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital and Oregon Health and Science University. Methods: A total of 108 subjects with a BMI >= 25kg/m(2)were studied: healthy controls (n = 47), subjects with total pituitary deficiency (TPD) (n = 20, >= 3 non-GH pituitary hormone deficiencies), and subjects with partial pituitary deficiency (PPD) (n = 41, 1-2 non-GH pituitary hormone deficiencies). Intervention: The intervention consisted of a standard 4-hour GST. Main Outcome Measures: The main outcome measure was peak GH level on GST. Results: Using the standard peak GH cutoff of 3 ng/mL, 95% of TPD cases (19 of 20), 80% of PPD (33 of 41), and 45% of controls (21 of 47) were classified as GHD. In receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis (controls vs TPD), a peak GH value of 0.94 ng/mL provided the greatest sensitivity (90%) and specificity (94%). Using a peak GH cutoff of 1 ng/mL, 6% of controls (3 of 47), 59% of PPDs (24 of 41), and 90% of TPDs (18 of 20) were classified as GHD. BMI (R = -0.35, P =.02) and visceral adipose tissue (R = -0.32, P = .03) negatively correlated with peak GH levels in controls. Conclusion: A large proportion of healthy overweight/obese individuals (45%) failed the GST using the standard 3 ng/mL GH cutoff. Overweight/obese pituitary patients are at risk of being misclassified as GHD using this cutoff level. A 1-ng/mL GH cutoff may reduce the overdiagnosis of adult GHD in overweight/obese patients.

TI Exogenous Kisspeptin Administration as a Probe of GnRH Neuronal Function in Patients With Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM LA English DT Article ID GONADOTROPIN-RELEASING-HORMONE; SEX STEROID CONTROL; LUTEINIZING-HORMONE; KALLMANN-SYNDROME; MENSTRUAL-CYCLE; DEFICIENT MEN; IN-VIVO; MUTATIONS; SECRETION; RECEPTOR AB Context: Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) results from defective synthesis, secretion, or action of GnRH. Kisspeptin is a potent stimulus for GnRH secretion. Objective: We probed the functional capacity of the GnRH neuronal network in patients with IHH. Participants: Eleven subjects with congenital IHH (9 men and 2 women) and one male subject who underwent reversal of IHH were studied. Six of the twelve subjects had an identified genetic cause of their IHH: KAL1 (n = 1), FGFR1 (n = 3), PROKR2 (n = 1), GNRHR (n = 1). Intervention: Subjects underwent q10 min blood sampling to measure GnRH-induced LH secretion at baseline and in response to intravenous boluses of kisspeptin (0.24 nmol/kg) andGnRH(75 ng/kg) both pre- and post-six days of treatment with exogenous GnRH (25 ng/kg sc every 2 h). Results: All subjects with abiding IHH failed to demonstrate a GnRH-induced LH response to exogenous kisspeptin. In contrast, the subject who achieved reversal of his hypogonadotropism demonstrated a robust response to kisspeptin. Conclusions: The functional capacity of the GnRH neuronal network in IHH patients is impaired, as evidenced by their inability to respond to the same dose of kisspeptin that effects a robust GnRH-induced LH response in healthy men and luteal- phase women. This impairment is observed across a range of genotypes, suggesting that it reflects a fundamental property of GnRH neuronal networks that have not been properly engaged during pubertal development. In contrast, a patient who had experienced reversal of his hypogonadotropism responded to exogenous kisspeptin.

TI Leptin Therapy Alters Appetite and Neural Responses to Food Stimuli in Brain Areas of Leptin-Sensitive Subjects Without Altering Brain Structure SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM LA English DT Article ID HYPOTHALAMIC AMENORRHEA; PREFRONTAL CORTEX; OBESE GENE; DB/DB MICE; OB/OB MICE; REWARD; ACTIVATION; RESISTANCE; BEHAVIOR; LESIONS AB Context: Leptin is a key regulator of energy intake and expenditure. Individuals with congenital leptin deficiency demonstrate structural and functional brain changes when given leptin. However, whether acquired leptin deficiency may operate similarly is unclear. Objective: We set out to determine whether the brains of individuals with acquired leptin deficiency may react to leptin in a similar manner. Design: We used functional magnetic resonance imaging before and after short-and long-term metreleptin treatment in three leptin-sensitive patients with acquired hypoleptinemia. Nine healthy women were scanned as normoleptinemic controls. Setting: The setting was an academic medical center. Patients or Other Participants: The participants were 3 hypoleptinemic women and nine normoleptinemic, matched women. Interventions: We used metreleptin, recombinant leptin, therapy for 24 weeks in hypoleptinemic women only. Main Outcome Measure: We measured neural changes in response to viewing food as compared to nonfood images. We hypothesized that metreleptin treatment would increase brain activity in areas related to cognitive control and inhibition and would decrease brain activity in areas related to reward processing, as compared to the normoleptinemic counterparts. Results: Unlike patients with congenital leptin deficiency, hypoleptinemic patients demonstrated no structural brain differences from healthy controls and/or structural changes in response to treatment. Short-term metreleptin treatment in leptin-sensitive hypoleptinemic subjects enhances areas involved in detecting the salience and rewarding value of food during fasting, whereas long-term treatment decreases attention to food and the rewarding value of food after feeding. Furthermore, hypothalamic activity is modulated by metreleptin treatment, and leptin decreases functional connectivity of the hypothalamus to key feeding-related areas in these hypoleptinemic subjects. Conclusions: Leptin replacement in acutely hypoleptinemic women did not alter brain structure but did alter functional cortical activity to food cues in key feeding and reward-related areas.

Method: Data were analyzed from Wave 1 of the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study, a cross-sectional, retrospective, web-based survey of a population-based sample of 3,157 US veterans conducted between October and December 2011. The main outcome measure was probable lifetime PTSD, which was assessed by using a DSM-IV version of the PTSD Checklist (PCL), the PCL-Specific Stressor version. Results: The weighted lifetime and current prevalence of probable PTSD was 8.0% (standard error [SE] = 0.48) and 4.8% (SE = 0.40), respectively. 87.0% of veterans reported exposure to at least 1 potentially traumatic event (PTE); veterans reported a mean of 3.4 (SD = 2.8) different PTE types in their lifetime. Sudden death of a loved one was the most frequently endorsed PTE (61.3%), and sexual abuse in adulthood had the highest conditional probability of PTSD (37.3%). PTSD was associated with increased odds of mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders (odds ratios [ORs] = 2.2-19.1, P values < .001); suicidal ideation (OR = 9.7, P < .001); and suicide attempts (OR = 11.8, P < .001). Psychosocial factors, including resilience, community integration, and secure attachment, were associated with decreased odds of PTSD (ORs = 0.5-0.7, P values < .05). Conclusions: In a nationally representative sample of US veterans, the prevalence of lifetime and current PTSD was 8.0% and 4.8%, respectively, and PTSD was associated with elevated risk for several psychiatric conditions and suicidality. Veterans reported exposure to many PTE types in addition to combat, and conditional risk for PTSD was high for noncombat-related trauma. Prevention and treatment efforts designed to bolster protective psychosocial factors may help mitigate PTSD risk in this population. (C) Copyright 2014 Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc.

TI The Relationship Between Neurocognitive and Psychosocial Functioning in Major Depressive Disorder: A Systematic Review SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Review ID QUALITY-OF-LIFE; FORM HEALTH SURVEY; COGNITIVE DEFICITS; BIPOLAR DISORDER; IMPAIRMENT; UNIPOLAR; DISABILITY; OUTCOMES; METAANALYSIS; ASSOCIATION AB Objective: Neurocognitive deficits are demonstrated in major depressive disorder (MDD) and most likely contribute to the functional impairment experienced by affected individuals. We systematically reviewed the evidence on neurocognitive deficits and their relationship(s) to psychosocial functioning in MDD. Data Sources: English-language literature was searched in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Direct, and PsycInfo databases for the years 1980-October 15, 2013, with the following terms: (depressive disorder or depressive disorder, major) and permutations of (cognitive, neurocognitive, neuropsych*) with (impairment, deficit, performance, test) and (quality of life; functional outcomes; outcome assessment, health care) or (assessment, outcomes; assessment, patient outcomes; outcomes assessment; outcomes assessments, patient). Study Selection: Inclusion criteria were (1) nongeriatric adults (<60 years) with a primary diagnosis of MDD by DSM-IV, ICD-9, or ICD-10 criteria; (2) use of neuropsychological tests; and (3) use of a specific measure of social, occupational, or daily functioning. Of 488 articles identified in the initial search, 10 met the inclusion criteria. Data Extraction: Two independent appraisers assessed eligibility of the studies. Substantial heterogeneity in the samples and methods precluded a quantitative meta-analysis, so we performed a narrative descriptive review. Results: The included studies employed a variety of neurocognitive tests and assessments of psychosocial functioning. Overall, depressed samples had neurocognitive deficits in various domains that were associated with different measures of psychosocial functioning. However, these findings were constrained by methodological limitations of studies. Conclusions: The limited evidence base suggests that neurocognitive functioning appears to be broadly associated with functional impairment in individuals with MDD, but the quality of evidence is weak. Further studies to clarify the relationship(s) between neurocognitive and psychosocial functioning in MDD will benefit from larger and more homogeneous samples, prospective designs with multivariate analyses, and use of comprehensive assessments of psychosocial functioning that are validated in depressed populations.

TI Potential Mental Health Needs of US Adult Residents Under Different Provisions of the Affordable Care Act SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article ID NATIONAL EPIDEMIOLOGIC SURVEY; PERSONALITY-DISORDER; UNITED-STATES; MEDICAID; PREVALENCE; DISABILITY; ALCOHOL; POVERTY; INDIVIDUALS; COMORBIDITY AB Objective: This study examined different groups of the US population who may be affected by the expansion of Medicaid and creation of health insurance exchanges under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Method: Data were based on structured interviews with a nationally representative sample of 34,587 adults from the 2004-2005 Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). Psychiatric diagnoses were assessed with the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-IV. Results: Of the total sample, 6.4% were currently on Medicaid; 3.9% were uninsured and likely eligible for the Medicaid expansion (LEME); 8.6% were uninsured and not LEME but likely to participate in the health insurance exchanges; 4.6% were insured and LEME; and 76.6% were insured and not LEME. Among those uninsured, those LEME had a significantly higher prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders than those not LEME (odds ratios = 1.26-1.41). Among those insured, those LEME had a higher prevalence of mood, anxiety, substance use, and personality disorders than those not LEME (odds ratios = 1.78-2.41). Although there were few clinical differences between those currently on Medicaid and those LEME, those currently on Medicaid were more likely to use all types of services for mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Conclusions: The ACA may directly affect the 12.5% of the US adult population who are uninsured by requiring them to obtain insurance coverage. Given the high prevalence for various psychiatric disorders among those uninsured, state plans to expand Medicaid and create health insurance exchanges have potential to offer coverage to many adults with mental health needs, and states should carefully plan for comprehensive services.

Despite the devastating global effects of depression, a report on approval trends by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that new molecular entities (NMEs) approved for targeting psychiatric illness peaked in the 1960s and have been declining since.(2) Indeed, of the 27 NMEs approved by the FDA in 2013, only 1 had psychiatric indications,(3) highlighting the slow pace of psychiatric drug discovery.(4) Despite this, recent progress has been made. In this article, our aim is to (1) describe recently FDA-approved medications for major depressive disorder (MDD), as well as adjunctive therapies studied during the period 2013 to 2014 (study completion, publication, or meeting reports), and (2) discuss the current trends in novel antidepressant therapies.

TI A Naturalistic Study of the Association Between Antidepressant Treatment and Outcome of Smoking Cessation Treatment SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article ID PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL; ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE; MENTAL-ILLNESS; DOUBLE-BLIND; TOBACCO USE; SERTRALINE; METHAMPHETAMINE; PREDICTORS; DISORDERS; HEALTH AB Objective: Psychiatric, medical, and substance use comorbidities are highly prevalent among smokers, and many of these comorbidities have been found to be associated with reduced rate of success in clinical trials for smoking cessation. While much has been established about the best available treatments from these clinical trials, little is known about the effect of concomitant psychiatric medications on quit rates in smoking cessation programs. On the basis of results in populations with tobacco dependence and other substance use disorders, we hypothesized that smokers taking antidepressants would have a lower rate of quitting in an outpatient smoking cessation program. Method: We performed a naturalistic chart review of veterans (N = 144) enrolled in the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Mental Health Clinic Smoking Cessation Program from March 2011 through July 2013, who met DSM-IV-TR criteria for nicotine dependence. The primary outcome was smoking cessation with treatment, as evidenced by a patient report of at least 1 week of abstinence and an exhaled carbon monoxide level of = 6 ppm (if available) at the end of acute treatment, with comparators including concomitant psychotropic medication treatment, psychiatric and medical comorbidities, and the presence of a substance use disorder history. We utilized stepwise binary logistic regression as the main statistical technique. Results: We found that current antidepressant treatment (P =.003) and history of substance use disorder (P = .01) (particularly cocaine [P = .02]) were associated with a lower rate of quitting smoking. Furthermore, the association between antidepressant treatment and reduced rate of smoking cessation was primarily seen in patients with a history of substance use disorder (P =.003). Conclusions: While preliminary, these results suggest an important clinical interaction meriting future study. If these findings are confirmed, clinicians may want to consider the risk of reduced ability to quit smoking in patients with a history of substance use disorder who are taking antidepressants.

The current study examines multiple measures of sustained attention (accuracy and variability) and their decrements over time, while introducing reward in the form of a monetary incentive or the promise of early completion. Compared with unrewarded participants, rewarded participants demonstrated greater overall accuracy and lower reaction time variability. However, rewarded and unrewarded participants displayed nearly identical decrements in performance over time, suggesting that these aspects of sustained attention are far less malleable by enhanced effort. This study helps to resolve conflicting models of sustained attention as it reveals that some aspects of performance are due to motivational lapses whereas others are due to the depletion of cognitive resources that cannot be easily overcome.

Luminal acid quickly increases protective PG synthesis and release from epithelia, although the mechanism by which luminal acid induces PG synthesis is still mostly unknown. Acid exposure augments purinergic ATP-P2Y signaling by inhibition of intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity. Since P2Y activation increases intracellular Ca2+, we further hypothesized that ATP-P2Y signals increase the generation of H2O2 derived from dual oxidase, a member of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase family activated by Ca2+. Our recent studies suggest that acid exposure increases H2O2 output, followed by phospholipase A(2) and cyclooxygenase activation, increasing PG synthesis. Released prostaglandin E2 augments protective HCO3- and mucus secretion via EP4 receptor activation. Thus, the PG pathway as a component of duodenal acid sensing consists of acid-related intestinal alkaline phosphatase inhibition, ATP-P2Y signals, dual oxidase 2-derived H2O2 production, phospholipase A(2) activation, prostaglandin E2 synthesis, and EP4 receptor activation. The PG pathway is also involved in luminal bacterial sensing in the duodenum via activation of pattern recognition receptors, including Toll-like receptors and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2. The presence of acute mucosal responses to luminal bacteria suggests that the duodenum is important for host defenses and may reduce bacterial loading to the hindgut using H2O2, complementing gastric acidity and anti-bacterial bile acids.

This case report presents oral rehabilitation of a 22-year-old male patient diagnosed with ED using an implant tooth-supported telescopic partial denture at the mandible and a tooth-supported telescopic partial denture at the maxilla. Implants in the mandible were placed at the sites of the right and left lateral incisor teeth. Following implant placement, the remaining buccal bone dehiscence was filled with deproteinized bovine bone graft and covered with resorbable membrane. To manage the vestibular insufficiency and to increase the keratinized mucosa in maxilla, bilateral acellular dermal matrix allograft was used on the right and left buccal aspects.

TI Acquired Equivalence in US Veterans With Symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress: Reexperiencing Symptoms Are Associated With Greater Generalization SO JOURNAL OF TRAUMATIC STRESS LA English DT Article ID DISORDER AB The severity and number of reexperiencing symptoms (e.g., flashbacks) show considerable variability across individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). One interpretation of reexperiencing symptoms invokes generalization: Specifically, the traumatic memory may be stored in such a way that neutral stimuli that only vaguely resemble some feature of the traumatic event are sufficient to trigger the memory. If this is the case, then individuals with higher levels of reexperiencing symptoms might show greater generalization, even in contexts unrelated to trauma. In the current study, an acquired equivalence test was used to assess associative learning and generalization in 114 U.S. veterans who were also given a test of declarative memory. PTSD symptoms were rated by the veteran. After adjusting for demographic variables, psychoactive medication use, and initial learning, regression analyses showed that the number of PTSD reexperiencing symptoms significantly improved the model for generalization ( = -.23, R-2 = .34) but not associative learning or declarative memory. The results support the idea that generalization is linked to reexperiencing symptoms, is not limited to learning about traumatic events, and can emerge even in a relatively innocuous computer-based learning task. Resumen Equivalencia Adquirida en Veteranos La severidad y numero de sintomas de re-experimentacion (ej. flasbacks) muestra una variabilidad considerable entre los individuos con trastorno por estres post-traumatico (TEPT). Una interpretacion de los sintomas de re-experimentacion es que invoca generalizacion: especificamente, la memoria traumatica puede ser almacenada de tal manera que estimulos neutrales que solo vagamente se asemejan en algunos aspectos al evento traumatico son suficientes para desencadenar el recuerdo traumatico. Si este es el caso, entonces los individuos con niveles mas altos de sintomas de re-experimentacion pueden mostrar mayor generalizacion, incluso en contextos no relacionados al trauma. En este estudio, se uso un test de equivalencia adquirida (EA) para evaluar el aprendizaje asociativo y la generalizacion en 114 veteranos norteamericanos, a quienes tambien se les aplico un test de memoria declarativa. Los sintomas de TEPT fueron ranqueados por cada veterano. Despues de ajustar las variables demograficas, uso de medicamentos psicoactivos y aprendizaje inicial, el analisis de regresion mostro que el numero de sintomas de re-experimentacion de TEPT mejoro significativamente el modelo por generalizacion (B = -.23, R2 = .34) pero no el aprendizaje asociativo o la memoria declarativa. Estos resultados apoyan la idea que la generalizacion esta ligada a los sintomas de re-experimentacion, no esta limitada al aprendizaje sobre eventos traumaticos e incluso puede emerger en una tarea inocua de aprendizaje basado en un computador.

TI Does Guilt Mediate the Association Between Tonic Immobility and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in Female Trauma Survivors? SO JOURNAL OF TRAUMATIC STRESS LA English DT Article ID SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS; ADMINISTERED PTSD SCALE; EVENTS AB Tonic immobility (TI) is an involuntary freezing response that can occur during a traumatic event. TI has been identified as a risk factor for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), although the mechanism for this relationship remains unclear. This study evaluated a particular possible mechanism for the relationship between TI and PTSD symptoms: posttraumatic guilt. To examine this possibility, we assessed 63 female trauma survivors for TI, posttraumatic guilt, and PTSD symptom severity. As expected, the role of guilt in the association between TI and PTSD symptom severity was consistent with mediation (B = 0.35; p < .05). Thus, guilt may be an important mechanism by which trauma survivors who experience TI later develop PTSD symptoms. We discuss the clinical implications, including the importance of educating those who experienced TI during their trauma about the involuntary nature of this experience. Resumen La inmovilidad tonica (IT) es una respuesta involuntaria de congelamiento que puede ocurrir durante un evento traumatico. La IT ha sido identificada como un factor de riesgo para el estres post-traumatico (TEPT), aunque el mecanismo de esta relacion permanece poco claro. Este estudio evaluo un posible mecanismo para la relacion entre IT y sintomas del TEPT: la culpa post-traumatica. Para examinar esta posibilidad, evaluamos a 63 mujeres sobrevivientes de trauma en cuanto a IT, culpa post-traumatica, y severidad de sintomas de TEPT. Como se esperaba, el rol de la culpa en la asociacion entre IT y la severidad de sintomas del TEPT fue consistente con la medicion (B = 0.35; p <.05). Es asi, como la culpa puede ser un mecanismo importante por el cual los sobrevivientes al trauma que experimentan IT, mas tarde desarrollan sintomas de TEPT.

The mechanisms behind these segment-specific biomechanical features are unknown. This study investigated the in vivo geometric characteristics of human lumbar intervertebral discs. Magnetic resonance images of the lumbar spine of 41 young Chinese individuals were acquired. Disc geometry in the sagittal plane was measured for each subject, including the dimensions of the discs, nucleus pulposus (NP), and annulus fibrosus (AF). Segmental lordosis was also measured using the Cobb method. In general, the disc length increased from upper to lower lumbar levels, except that the L4/5 and L5/S1 discs had similar lengths. The L4/5 NP had a height of 8.6 +/- 1.3 mm, which was significantly higher than all other levels (P < 0.05). The L5/S1 NP had a length of 21.6 +/- 3.1 mm, which was significantly longer than all other levels (P < 0.05). At L4/5, the NP occupied 64.0% of the disc length, which was significantly less than the NP of the L5/S1 segment (72.4%) (P < 0.05). The anterior AF occupied 20.5% of the L4/5 disc length, which was significantly greater than that of the posterior AF (15.6%) (P < 0.05). At the L5/S1 segment, the anterior and posterior AFs were similar in length (14.1% and 13.6% of the disc, respectively). The height to length (H/L) ratio of the L4/5 NP was 0.45 +/- 0.06, which was significantly greater than all other segments (P < 0.05). There was no correlation between the NP H/L ratio and lordosis. Although the lengths of the lower lumbar discs were similar, the geometry of the AF and NP showed segment-dependent properties. These data may provide insight into the understanding of segment-specific biomechanics in the lower lumbar spine. The data could also provide baseline knowledge for the development of segment-specific surgical treatments of lumbar diseases.

This article describes the development and evaluation of an innovative Veterans Affairs program, Moving Forward, which focuses on building resilience and reducing emotional distress. Moving Forward is based on the principles of problem-solving therapy that have been adapted for use in a four-session, classroom-based training program for veterans. The program evaluation results indicate that Moving Forward is feasible, well-received by veterans, and yields improvements in social problem solving, resilience, and overall distress levels. Although there is a strong evidence base for problem-solving therapy in a range of clinical settings and with a variety of patient populations (Nezu et al., 2013), this represents the first effort to apply these principles in a program focusing on the readjustment and resilience of our nation's veterans. We include several recommendations for building on these results, including the use of Internet-based training, inclusion of family members in training, and recommendations for research in this important area.

With the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system is focusing on the unique needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) veterans. As a result of research in the private sector documenting stigmatizing attitudes and discrimination toward LGBT individuals in health care settings, the Institute of Medicine and The Joint Commission published recommendations for responding to the needs of LGBT individuals. However, minimal research has examined the unique needs of LGBT veterans and their experiences in VA. This 2-site (Oklahoma City, OK; Houston, TX), mixed-methods study included 202 VA providers and 58 LGBT veterans. Experiences at VA, comfort in providing/receiving care, barriers LGBT veterans face in coming to VA, and recommendations for making VA more welcoming were assessed. Six focus groups and 6 individual interviews were conducted with veterans, and providers completed anonymous surveys. Less than one third of LGBT veterans and providers viewed VA as welcoming to LGBT veterans. Half of providers indicated they do not assess sexual orientation with any of their patients. Furthermore, half of providers reported that they do not alter their treatment plans even if they know the veteran is lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Many constructive suggestions regarding how VA can be more welcoming arose in the veteran inquiry and the provider survey. Based on our findings and the broader literature, recommendations for providers and administrators are described.

The authors sought to determine whether time between last deployment and initiating mental health treatment was associated with a lack of improvement in PTSD symptoms. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of existing medical records of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who enrolled in VA health care, received a postdeployment PTSD diagnosis, and initiated treatment for one or more mental health problems between October 1, 2007, and December 31, 2011, and whose records contained results of PTSD screening at the start of treatment and approximately one year later (N=39,690). Results: At the start of treatment, 75% of veterans diagnosed as having PTSD had a positive PTSD screen. At follow-up, 27% of those with a positive screen at baseline had improved, and 43% of those with a negative screen at baseline remained negative. A negative PTSD screen at follow-up was associated with female gender, older age, white race, having never married, officer rank, non-Army service, closer proximity to the nearest VA facility, and earlier initiation of treatment after the end of the last deployment. Conclusions: Interventions to reduce delays in initiating mental health treatment may improve veterans' treatment response. Further studies are needed to test interventions for particular veteran subgroups who were less likely than others to improve with treatment.

TI Work Outcomes After Benefits Counseling Among Veterans Applying for Service Connection for a Psychiatric Condition SO PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES LA English DT Article ID POSTTRAUMATIC-STRESS-DISORDER; SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT; DISABILITY COMPENSATION; SOCIAL-SECURITY; MENTAL-ILLNESS; SUBSTANCE-ABUSE; PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES; HOMELESS VETERANS; BENEFICIARIES; SEEKING AB Objective: This study's objective was to determine the efficacy of benefits counseling in a clinical trial. There has been concern that disability payments for psychiatric disorders reduce incentives for employment and rehabilitation. Benefits counseling, with education about opportunities to work and the financial implications of work on receipt of disability benefits, may counter these disincentives. Methods: This single-blind, six-month randomized clinical trial enrolled 84 veterans who had applied for service-connected compensation for a psychiatric condition. Veterans were randomly assigned to either four sessions of benefits counseling or of a control condition involving orientation to the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs health care system and services. Days of paid work and work-related activities were assessed at follow-up visits by using a time-line follow-back calendar. Results: Veterans assigned to benefits counseling worked for pay for significantly more days than did veterans in the control group (effect size=.69, p<.05), reflecting an average of three more days of paid employment during the 28 days preceding the six-month follow-up. Benefits counseling was associated with increased use of mental health services, but this correlation did not mediate the effect of benefits counseling on working. Conclusions: Barriers to employment associated with disability payments are remediable with basic counseling. More research is needed to understand the active ingredient of this counseling and to strengthen the intervention.

MFM subspecialists are complementary to obstetric care providers in providing consultations, co-management, or transfer of care for complicated patients before, during, and after pregnancy. The MFM subspecialist provides peer and patient education and performs research concerning the most recent approaches and treatments for obstetrical problems, thus promoting risk-appropriate care for these complicated pregnancies. The relationship between the obstetric care provider and the MFM subspecialist depends on the acuity of the maternal and/or fetal condition and the local resources. To achieve the goal of promoting early access and sustained adequate prenatal care for all pregnant women, we encourage collaboration with obstetricians, family physicians, certified midwives, and others, and we also encourage providing preconception, prenatal, and postpartum care counseling and coordination. Effective communication between all obstetric care team members is imperative. This special report was written with the intent that it would be broad in scope and appeal to a diverse readership, including administrators, allowing it to be applied to various systems of care both horizontally and vertically. We understand that these relationships are often complex and there are more models of care than could be addressed in this document. However, we aimed to promote the development of a highly effective team approach to the care of the high-risk pregnancy that will be useful in the most common models for obstetric care in the United States. The MFM subspecialist functions most effectively within a fully integrated and collaborative health care environment. This document defines the various roles that the MFM subspecialist can fulfill within different heath care systems through consultation, co-management, and transfer of care, as well as education, research, and leadership.

TI Performance of racial and ethnic minority-serving hospitals on delivery-related indicators SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE delivery; ethnicity; quality of care; race; United States ID LOW-BIRTH-WEIGHT; MATERNAL MORBIDITY; PRENATAL-CARE; UNITED-STATES; DISPARITIES; HOSPITALIZATIONS; MORTALITY AB OBJECTIVE: We sought to explore how racial/ethnic minority-serving hospitals perform on 15 delivery-related indicators, and examine whether indicators vary by race/ethnicity within the same type of hospitals. STUDY DESIGN: We used 2008 through 2011 linked State Inpatient Database and American Hospital Association data from 7 states, and designated hospitals with >50% of deliveries to non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic women as white-, black-, and Hispanic-serving, respectively. We calculated indicator rates per 1000 deliveries by hospital type and, separately, for non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic women within each hospital type. We fitted multivariate Poisson regression models to examine associations between delivery-related indicators and patient and hospital characteristics by hospital type. RESULTS: White-serving hospitals offer obstetric care to an older and wealthier population than black- or Hispanic-serving hospitals. Rates of the most prevalent indicators examined (complicated vaginal delivery, complicated cesarean delivery, obstetric trauma) were lowest in Hispanic-serving hospitals. Generally, indicator rates were similar in Hispanic- and white-serving hospitals. Black-serving hospitals performed worse than other hospitals on 12 of 15 indicators. Indicator rates varied greatly by race/ethnicity in white- and Hispanic-serving hospitals, with non-Hispanic blacks having 1.19-3.27 and 1.15-2.68 times higher rates than non-Hispanic whites, respectively, for 11 of 15 indicators. Conversely, there were few indicator rate differences by race/ethnicity in black-serving hospitals, suggesting an overall lower performance of these hospitals compared to white- and Hispanic-serving hospitals. CONCLUSION: We found considerable differences in delivery-related indicators by hospital type and patients' race/ethnicity. Obstetric care quality measures are needed to track racial/ethnic disparities at the facility and population levels.

Epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression and are likely to regulate the IPF transcriptome. Objectives: To identify methylation marks that modify gene expression in IPF lung. Methods: We assessed DNA methylation (comprehensive highthroughput arrays for relative methylation arrays [CHARM]) and gene expression (Agilent gene expression arrays) in 94 patients with IPF and 67 control subjects, and performed integrative genomic analyses to define methylation-gene expression relationships in IPF lung. We validated methylation changes by a targeted analysis (Epityper), and performed functional validation of one of the genes identified by our analysis. Measurements and Main Results: We identified 2,130 differentially methylated regions (DMRs; <5% false discovery rate), of which 738 are associated with significant changes in gene expression and enriched for expected inverse relationship between methylation and expression (P < 2.2 X 10(-16)). We validated 13/15 DMRs by targeted analysis of methylation. Methylation-expression quantitative trait loci (methyl-eQTL) identified methylation marks that control cis and trans gene expression, with an enrichment for cis relationships (P < 2.2 X 10(-16)). We found five trans methyl-eQTLs where a methylation change at a single DMR is associated with transcriptional changes in a substantial number of genes; four of these DMRs are near transcription factors (castor zinc finger 1 [CASZ1], FOXC1, MXD4, and ZDHHC4). We studied the in vitro effects of change in CASZ1 expression and validated its role in regulation of target genes in the methyl-eQTL. Conclusions: These results suggest that DNA methylation may be involved in the pathogenesis of IPF.

This study created algorithms for mapping clinical and behavioral measures for children with ASDs to health utility scores. The algorithms could be useful for estimating the value of different interventions and treatments used in the care of children with ASDs. Participants were recruited from two Autism Treatment Network sites. Health utility data based on the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3) for the child were obtained from the primary caregiver (proxy-reported) through a survey (N=224). During the initial clinic visit, proxy-reported measures of the Child Behavior Checklist, Vineland II Adaptive Behavior Scales, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (start measures) were obtained and then merged with the survey data. Nine mapping algorithms were developed using the HUI3 scores as dependent variables in ordinary least squares regressions along with the start measures, the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, to measure severity, child age, and cognitive ability as independent predictors. In-sample cross-validation was conducted to evaluate predictive accuracy. Multiple imputation techniques were used for missing data. The average age for children with ASDs in this study was 8.4 (standard deviation=3.5) years. Almost half of the children (47%) had cognitive impairment (IQ70). Total scores for all of the outcome measures were significantly associated with the HUI3 score. The algorithms can be applied to clinical studies containing start measures of children with ASDs to predict QALYs gained from interventions.

In turn, changes in the diet directly impinge on bacterial metabolites present in the intestinal lumen. Whether such metabolites play a role in intestinal cancer has been a topic of hot debate. In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Donohoe and colleagues show that dietary fiber protects against colorectal carcinoma in a microbiota-dependent manner. Furthermore, fiber-derived butyrate acts as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells experiencing the Warburg effect.

This is highlighted in melanoma, where treatment with targeted therapy (against the BRAF oncoprotein) results in responses in the majority of patients, although the duration of response is limited. In contrast, treatment with immunotherapy results in a lower response rate, but one that tends to be more durable. Insights about mechanisms of response and potential synergy between these treatment strategies for melanoma are a focus of this review, with opportunities to extend these insights to the treatment of other cancers. Significance: Two major advances in melanoma have occurred concurrently and involve treatment with targeted therapy and immune checkpoint blockade. However, each of these approaches has limitations with regard to overall response rates or duration of response. To address this, investigators have proposed combining these strategies, and this concept is being tested empirically in clinical trials. There is a scientific rationale supporting the combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy, and these concepts are discussed herein. (C) 2014 AACR.

However, HRR must be tightly regulated to prevent illegitimate recombination. We previously found that BRCA1 HRR function is regulated by the RAP80 complex, but the mechanism was unclear. We have now observed that PARP1 interacts with and poly-ADP-ribosylates (aka PARsylates) BRCA1. PARsylation is directed at the BRCA1 DNA binding domain and downmodulates its function. Moreover, RAP80 contains a poly-ADP-ribose-interacting domain that binds PARsylated BRCA1 and helps to maintain the stability of PARP1-BRCA1-RAP80 complexes. BRCA1 PARsylation is a key step in BRCA1 HRR control. When BRCA1 PARsylation is defective, it gives rise to excessive HRR and manifestations of genome instability. BRCA1 PARsylation and/or RAP80 expression is defective in a subset of sporadic breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived tumor xenograft models. These observations are consistent with the possibility that such defects, when chronic, contribute to tumor development in BRCA1(+/+) individuals. SIGNIFICANCE: We propose a model that describes how BRCA1 functions to both support and restrict HRR. BRCA1 PARsylation is a key event in this process, failure of which triggers hyper-recombination and chromosome instability. Thus, hyperfunctioning BRCA1 can elicit genomic abnormalities similar to those observed in the absence of certain BRCA1 functions. (C) 2014 AACR.

TI Inhibition of mTORC1/2 Overcomes Resistance to MAPK Pathway Inhibitors Mediated by PGC1 alpha and Oxidative Phosphorylation in Melanoma SO CANCER RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID METASTATIC MELANOMA; IMPROVED SURVIVAL; BRAF; MUTATION; TUMORS; VEMURAFENIB; DABRAFENIB; AZD8055; POTENT; CELLS AB Metabolic heterogeneity is a key factor in cancer pathogenesis. We found that a subset of BRAF- and NRAS-mutant human melanomas resistant to the MEK inhibitor selumetinib displayed increased oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) mediated by the transcriptional coactivator PGC1 alpha. Notably, all selumetinib-resistant cells with elevated OxPhos could be resensitized by cotreatment with the mTORC1/2 inhibitor AZD8055, whereas this combination was ineffective in resistant cell lines with low OxPhos. In both BRAF- and NRAS-mutant melanoma cells, MEK inhibition increased MITF expression, which in turn elevated levels of PGC1 alpha. In contrast, mTORC1/2 inhibition triggered cytoplasmic localization of MITF, decreasing PGC1 alpha expression and inhibiting OxPhos. Analysis of tumor biopsies from patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma progressing on BRAF inhibitor +/- MEK inhibitor revealed that PGC1 alpha levels were elevated in approximately half of the resistant tumors. Overall, our findings highlight the significance of OxPhos in melanoma and suggest that combined targeting of the MAPK and mTORC pathways may offer an effective therapeutic strategy to treat melanomas with this metabolic phenotype.

We hypothesized that leukemia-initiating cells (LIC) are responsible for T-ALL development and treatment relapse. In this study, we used a genetically engineered mouse model of Pten(-/-) T-ALL with defined blast and LIC-enriched cell populations to demonstrate that LICs are responsible for therapeutic resistance. Unlike acute and chronic myelogenous leukemia, LICs in T-ALL were actively cycling, were distinct biologically, and responded differently to targeted therapies in comparison with their differentiated blast cell progeny. Notably, we found that T-ALL LICs could be eliminated by cotargeting the deregulated pathways driven by PI3K and Myc, which are altered commonly in human T-ALL and are associated with LIC formation. Our findings define critical events that may be targeted to eliminate LICs in T-ALL as a new strategy to treat the most aggressive relapsed forms of this disease. (C) 2014 AACR.

TI ERK Mutations Confer Resistance to Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway Inhibitors SO CANCER RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID METASTATIC MELANOMA; RAF INHIBITION; ACQUIRED-RESISTANCE; RANDOM MUTAGENESIS; IMPROVED SURVIVAL; MEK INHIBITION; HUMAN CANCER; BRAF; VEMURAFENIB; IDENTIFICATION AB The use of targeted therapeutics directed against BRAF(V600)-mutant metastatic melanoma improves progression-free survival in many patients; however, acquired drug resistance remains a major medical challenge. By far, the most common clinical resistance mechanism involves reactivation of the MAPK (RAF/MEK/ERK) pathway by a variety of mechanisms. Thus, targeting ERK itself has emerged as an attractive therapeutic concept, and several ERK inhibitors have entered clinical trials. We sought to preemptively determine mutations in ERK1/2 that confer resistance to either ERK inhibitors or combined RAF/MEK inhibition in BRAF(V600)-mutant melanoma. Using a random mutagenesis screen, we identified multiple point mutations in ERK1 (MAPK3) and ERK2 (MAPK1) that could confer resistance to ERK or RAF/MEK inhibitors. ERK inhibitor-resistant alleles were sensitive to RAF/MEK inhibitors and vice versa, suggesting that the future development of alternating RAF/MEK and ERK inhibitor regimens might help circumvent resistance to these agents.

CA REPLACE Investigators TI REPLACE DARE (Death After Replacement Evaluation) Score Determinants of All-Cause Mortality After Implantable Device Replacement or Upgrade From the REPLACE Registry SO CIRCULATION-ARRHYTHMIA AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE defibrillators, implantable; mortality; pacemakers ID CARDIOVERTER-DEFIBRILLATOR; ATRIAL-FIBRILLATION; HEART-FAILURE; RISK; COMPLICATIONS; THERAPY AB Background-Identifying factors predictive of mortality may be important to decrease risk associated with cardiac implantable electrical device (CIED) replacement procedures. This study aimed to determine whether clinical factors and complications independently associate with death and to develop a mortality risk prediction tool after CIED replacement. Methods and Results-The prospective REPLACE Registry determined 6-month complication and mortality rates after CIED replacement with or without planned lead addition or revision. Vital status was collected. Kaplan-Meier survival and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to identify patient, procedural, or complication variables predictive of death. The REPLACE DARE (Death After Replacement Evaluation) Score was constructed using hazard ratios, reflecting relative risk contributions of each variable, combined into an additive mortality risk score equation. At 6 months, 70 of 1744 (4.0%) patients had died. Cox regression analysis found no significant association between major complications and death. However, recent heart failure admission, New York Heart Association class III/IV, antiarrhythmic drug use, cerebrovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease stage were independently associated with 6-month mortality. The REPLACE DARE Score was 2.0 +/- 1.4 in survivors versus 3.5 +/- 1.8 in nonsurvivors (P<0.001), with predictive receiver operating characteristic value=0.758 (P<0.001). Risk of death was 1.0% for DARE=0 and 55.6% for DARE=7. The hazard ratio was 1.8 for each change of 1 DARE unit. Conclusions-Comorbidities, but not complications, were significantly associated with mortality after CIED replacement. The REPLACE DARE Score is a novel tool that can identify patients with substantial mortality risk. Such patients should have the relative risk and benefit of their procedure considered carefully.

TI Genome-Wide Association Study of L-Arginine and Dimethylarginines Reveals Novel Metabolic Pathway for Symmetric Dimethylarginine SO CIRCULATION-CARDIOVASCULAR GENETICS LA English DT Article DE biological markers; genome wide association study; nitric oxide ID ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUG THERAPIES; PRIMARY HYPEROXALURIA TYPE-1; INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS; NITRIC-OXIDE SYNTHASE; ASYMMETRIC DIMETHYLARGININE; MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; ISCHEMIC-STROKE; RENAL-FUNCTION; N-G; RISK AB Background-Dimethylarginines (DMA) interfere with nitric oxide formation by inhibiting nitric oxide synthase (asymmetrical DMA [ADMA]) and l-arginine uptake into the cell (ADMA and symmetrical DMA [SDMA]). In prospective clinical studies, ADMA has been characterized as a cardiovascular risk marker, whereas SDMA is a novel marker for renal function and associated with all-cause mortality after ischemic stroke. The aim of the current study was to characterize the environmental and genetic contributions to interindividual variability of these biomarkers. Methods and Results-This study comprised a genome-wide association analysis of 3 well-characterized population-based cohorts (Framingham Heart Study [FHS; n=2992], Gutenberg Health Study [GHS; n=4354], and Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease Study [MONICA]/Cooperative Health Research in the Augsburg Area, Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany [KORA] F3 [n=581]) and identified replicated loci (DDAH1, MED23, Arg1, and AGXT2) associated with the interindividual variability in ADMA, l-arginine, and SDMA. Experimental in silico and in vitro studies confirmed functional significance of the identified AGXT2 variants. Clinical outcome analysis in 384 patients of the Leeds stroke study demonstrated an association between increased plasma levels of SDMA, AGXT2 variants, and various cardiometabolic risk factors. AGXT2 variants were not associated with poststroke survival in the Leeds study or were they associated with incident stroke in the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium. Conclusions-These genome-wide association study support the importance of DDAH1 and MED23/Arg1 in regulating ADMA and l-arginine metabolism, respectively, and identify a novel regulatory renal pathway for SDMA by AGXT2. AGXT2 variants might explain part of the pathogenic link between SDMA, renal function, and outcome. An association between AGXT2 variants and stroke is unclear and warrants further investigation.

Such problems may compromise military performance, highlighting the need to establish the level of eating pathology that exists in military samples. This article qualitatively reviews prevalence estimates of eating disorder symptoms and diagnoses in military samples, providing nonmilitary estimates for context. Findings suggest that eating disorder symptoms are prevalent in cadets and active duty service members, especially when using self-report measures. The increased salience of weight in the military and increased exposure to trauma may influence risk for eating disorders. Alternatively, individuals at risk for eating disorders may self-select into the military. Overall, this review suggests that eating disorder symptoms are common in military samples and that further research is warranted.

TI Multicenter comparison of laboratory performance in cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus viral load testing using international standards SO CLINICAL TRANSPLANTATION LA English DT Article DE clinical trial; cytomegalovirus; Epstein-Barr virus; quantitative nucleic acid testing; viral load; WHO standards ID SOLID-ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION; TIME PCR ASSAYS; RECIPIENTS; MANAGEMENT; INFECTION; DNA; QUANTITATION; DISEASE AB BackgroundInfections with cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) remain important in solid organ transplantation. Quantitative viral nucleic acid testing is a major advance to patient management. These assays are limited by a lack of standardization, resulting in viral load measurements that differ among clinical laboratories. The variability in viral load measurements makes interpretation of multicenter clinical trials data difficult. This study compares the current practices in CMV and EBV viral load testing at four large transplant centers participating in multicenter Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation and the Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation in Children (CTOT and CTOTC). MethodsViral load testing was performed on well-defined viral preparations according to standard operating procedures at each site. ResultsAmong centers, CMV viral load testing was accurate compared to WHO International Standards and within acceptable variation for this testing method. Epstein-Barr virus viral load data were more variable and less accurate despite the use of international standards. ConclusionsThese data suggest that comparison of CMV, but not EBV, viral load measurements at these sites is possible using current assays and control standards. Standardization of these assays is facilitated using the WHO International Standards and will allow comparison of viral load results among transplant centers. Assay standardization must be performed prior to initiation of multicenter trials. C1 [Rychert, Jenna; Rosenberg, Eric S.] Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Clin Microbiol Lab, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

These proteins include the chromatin-modifying enzymes that "write" and "erase" histone posttranslational modifications (PTM), and those that "read" these marks through binding modules. In an effort to find a compound that could disrupt the protein-protein interactions between a PTM and reader, JQ1 has proven to be a first-in-class, drug-like inhibitor of the "bromodomain and extraterminal domain" epigenetic readers (BETs), which recognize histone lysine acetylation marks. JQ1 has facilitated the mechanistic study and therapeutic application in cancer of this kind of epigenetic inhibition. By using this chemical probe, we have discovered that the bromodomain inhibitors (BETi) have compelling activity in preclinical models of multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia. In particular, BETi down-regulates the MYC, IL-7R, and E2F transcriptional programs. We are continuously integrating the transcriptional consequences of BETi with changes in the epigenomic landscapes of cancer cells to elucidate the mechanisms underlying response to BETi using chemical and genetic perturbations.

Early-onset forms of glaucoma affecting children and young adults are typically inherited as Mendelian autosomal dominant or recessive traits whereas glaucoma affecting older adults has complex inheritance. In this report, we present a comprehensive overview of the genes and genomic regions contributing to inherited glaucoma.

TI Clinical utility of the Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition (WMS-IV) in predicting laterality of temporal lobe epilepsy among surgical candidates SO EPILEPSY & BEHAVIOR LA English DT Article DE Temporal lobe epilepsy; Neuropsychological assessment; Presurgical evaluation; Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition (WMS-IV); Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) ID BOSTON NAMING TEST; NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT; ULTIMATE SIDE; SURGERY; PERFORMANCE; VALIDATION; LOBECTOMY; OUTCOMES; ABILITY; EEG AB This study evaluated the accuracy of the Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition (WMS-IV) in identifying functional cognitive deficits associated with seizure laterality in localization-related temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) relative to a previously established measure, the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT). Emerging WMS-IV studies have highlighted psychometric improvements that may enhance its ability to identify lateralized memory deficits. Data from 57 patients with video-EEG-confirmed unilateral TLE who were administered the WMS-IV and RAVLT as part of a comprehensive presurgical neuropsychological evaluation for temporal resection were retrospectively reviewed. We examined the predictive accuracy of the WMS-IV not only in terms of verbal versus visual composite scores but also using individual subtests. A series of hierarchal logistic regression models were developed, including the RAVLT, WMS-IV delayed subtests (Logical Memory, Verbal Paired Associates, Designs, Visual Reproduction), and a WMS-IV verbal-visual memory difference score. Analyses showed that the RAVLT significantly predicted laterality with overall classification rates of 69.6% to 70.2%, whereas neither the individual WMS-IV subtests nor the verbal-visual memory difference score accounted for additional significant variance. Similar to previous versions of the WMS, findings cast doubt as to whether the WMS-IV offers significant incremental validity in discriminating seizure laterality in TLE beyond what can be obtained from the RAVLT.

Growth in antibiotic-resistant biofilms contributes to the virulence of this organism. Sodium nitrite has antimicrobial properties and has been tolerated as a nebulized compound at high concentrations in human subjects with pulmonary hypertension; however, its effects have not been evaluated on biotic biofilms or in combination with other clinically useful antibiotics. We grew P. aeruginosa on the apical surface of primary human airway epithelial cells to test the efficacy of sodium nitrite against biotic biofilms. Nitrite alone prevented 99% of biofilm growth. We then identified significant cooperative interactions between nitrite and polymyxins. For P. aeruginosa growing on primary CF airway cells, combining nitrite and colistimethate resulted in an additional log of bacterial inhibition compared to treating with either agent alone. Nitrite and colistimethate additively inhibited oxygen consumption by P. aeruginosa. Surprisingly, whereas the antimicrobial effects of nitrite in planktonic, aerated cultures are nitric oxide (NO) dependent, antimicrobial effects under other growth conditions are not. The inhibitory effect of nitrite on bacterial oxygen consumption and biofilm growth did not require NO as an intermediate as chemically scavenging NO did not block growth inhibition. These data suggest an NO-radical independent nitrosative or oxidative inhibition of respiration. The combination of nebulized sodium nitrite and colistimethate may provide a novel therapy for chronic P. aeruginosa airway infections, because sodium nitrite, unlike other antibiotic respiratory chain "poisons," can be safely nebulized at high concentration in humans.

This is the first report of clinical outcomes of robot-assisted neck dissection by North American groups. MethodsThis is a retrospective case-control study. Cases included three patients who underwent isolated, ipsilateral robot-assisted neck dissection. Operative time, estimated blood loss, lymph node retrieval, total drainage, hospital stay and complications from this group were compared against the outcomes of six consecutive patients who underwent conventional neck dissection. ResultsOperative times were longer in robot-assisted neck dissection (mean 234min) compared with the conventional neck dissection (mean 110min). There were no significant differences between the two groups in other outcomes. ConclusionsRobot-assisted selective neck dissection of levels II-IV is feasible through a modified facelift incision. Our initial data suggest that this procedure is surgically sound. It should be applied by experienced surgeons who wish to avoid a cervical incision. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Due to the location of the stenosis and tendency to recur, surgical management is challenging. Robotic surgery may allow these areas to be treated with surgical technique that would be difficult using traditional approaches. MethodsA retrospective chart review was performed to identify patients who underwent transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for pharyngeal stenosis at a tertiary hospital system. ResultsFive patients were identified, ages 8-75years. Length of follow-up ranged from 1-12months. There was one failure, a 74year old male with a history of chemoradiation to the area who has required additional procedures. ConclusionTORS may offer improved surgical access to the pharynx in patients who require complex reconstruction that would otherwise be very difficult. Appropriate patient selection is necessary and long-term follow-up is warranted for the selected cases. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TI [18F]-Fluoromisonidazole Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Visualization of Tumor Hypoxia in Patients With Chordoma of the Mobile and Sacrococcygeal Spine SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RADIATION ONCOLOGY BIOLOGY PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID SACRAL CHORDOMA; NECK-CANCER; SURGICAL-MANAGEMENT; PROGNOSTIC-FACTORS; RADIOTHERAPY; FLUOROMISONIDAZOLE; HEAD; SACRECTOMY; EXPERIENCE; THERAPY AB Purpose: To investigate [18F]-fluoromisonidazole positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FMISO-PET/CT) detection of targetable hypoxic subvolumes (HSVs) in chordoma of the mobile or sacrococcygeal spine. Methods and Materials: A prospective, pilot study of 20 patients with primary or locally recurrent chordoma of the mobile or sacrococcygeal spine treated with proton or combined proton/photon radiation therapy (RT) with or without surgery was completed. The FMISO-PET/CT was performed before RT and after 19.8-34.2 GyRBE (relative biologic effectiveness). Gross tumor volumes were delineated and HSVs defined including voxels with standardized uptake values >= 1.4 times the muscle mean. Clinical characteristics and treatments received were compared between patients with and without HSVs. Results: The FMISO-PET/CT detected HSVs in 12 of 20 patients (60%). Baseline and interval HSV spatial concordance varied (0%-94%). Eight HSVs were sufficiently large (>= 5 cm(3)) to potentially allow an intensity modulated proton therapy boost. Patients with HSVs had significantly larger gross tumor volumes (median 410.0 cm(3) vs 63.4 cm(3); P=.02) and were significantly more likely to have stage T2 tumors (5 of 12 vs 0 of 8; P=.04). After a median follow-up of 1.8 years (range, 0.2-4.4 years), a local recurrence has yet to be observed. Three patients developed metastatic disease, 2 with HSVs. Conclusions: Detection of targetable HSVs by FMISO-PET/CT within patients undergoing RT with or without surgery for treatment of chordoma of the mobile and sacrococcygeal spine is feasible. The study's inability to attribute interval HSV changes to treatment, rapidly changing hypoxic physiology, or imaging inconsistencies is a limitation. Further study of double-baseline FMISO-PET/CT and hypoxia-directed RT dose escalation, particularly in patients at high risk for local recurrence, is warranted. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

TI Outcomes of Proton Therapy for the Treatment of Uveal Metastases SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RADIATION ONCOLOGY BIOLOGY PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID EXTERNAL-BEAM RADIOTHERAPY; CHOROIDAL METASTASES; MANAGEMENT; CARCINOMA; MELANOMA; CANCER; TUMORS; EYE AB Purpose/Objective(s): Radiation therapy can be used to treat uveal metastases with the goal of local control and improvement of quality of life. Proton therapy can be used to treat uveal tumors efficiently and with expectant minimization of normal tissue injury. Here, we report the use of proton beam therapy for the management of uveal metastases. Methods and Materials: A retrospective chart review was made of all patients with uveal metastases treated at our institution with proton therapy between June 2002 and June 2012. Patient and tumor characteristics, fractionation and dose schemes, local control, and toxicities are reported. Results: Ninety patients were identified. Of those, 13 were excluded because of missing information. We report on 77 patients with 99 affected eyes with available data. Patients were 68% female, and the most common primary tumor was breast carcinoma (49%). The median age at diagnosis of uveal metastasis was 57.9 years. Serous retinal detachment was seen in 38% of treated eyes. The median follow-up time was 7.7 months. The median dose delivered to either eye was 20 Gy(relative biological effectiveness [RBE]) in 2 fractions. Local control was 94%. Themedian survival after diagnosis of uveal metastases was 12.3 months (95% confidence interval, 7.7-16.8). Death in all cases was secondary to systemic disease. Radiation vasculopathy, measured decreased visual acuity, or both was observed in 50% of evaluable treated eyes. The actuarial rate of radiation vasculopathy, measured decreased visual acuity, or both was 46% at 6 months and 73% at 1 year. The 6 eyes with documented local failure were successfully salvaged with retreatment. Conclusions: Proton therapy is an effective and efficient means of treating uveal metastases. Acutely, the majority of patients experience minor adverse effects. For longer-termsurvivors, the risk of retinal injury with vision loss increases significantly over the first year.

CA MESA Study TI Visceral Adiposity and the Risk of Metabolic Syndrome Across Body Mass Index The MESA Study SO JACC-CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING LA English DT Article DE cardiometabolic risk; metabolic syndrome; obesity ID CARDIOVASCULAR-DISEASE; LONGITUDINAL CHANGES; JAPANESE-AMERICANS; INSULIN-RESISTANCE; FAT DISTRIBUTION; HITACHI HEALTH; ABDOMINAL FAT; WEIGHT-LOSS; OBESE MEN; ATHEROSCLEROSIS AB OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate differential effects of visceral fat (VF) and subcutaneous fat and their effects on metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk across body mass index (BMI) categories. BACKGROUND The regional distribution of adipose tissue is an emerging risk factor for cardiometabolic disease, although serial changes in fat distribution have not been extensively investigated. VF and its alterations over time may be a better marker for risk than BMI in normal weight and overweight or obese individuals. METHODS We studied 1,511 individuals in the MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) with adiposity assessment by computed tomography (CT). A total of 253 participants without MetS at initial scan underwent repeat CT (median interval 3.3 years). We used discrete Cox regression with net reclassification to investigate whether baseline and changes in VF area are associated with MetS. RESULTS Higher VF was associated with cardiometaboLic risk and coronary artery calcification, regardless of BMI. After adjustment, VF was more strongly associated with incident MetS than subcutaneous fat regardless of weight, with a 28% greater MetS hazard per 100 cm(2)/m VF area and significant net reclassification (net reclassification index: 0.44, 95% confidence interval [Cl]: 0.29 to 0.60) over clinical risk. In individuals with serial imaging, initial VF (hazard ratio: 1.24 per 100 cm(2)/m, 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.44 per 100 cm(2)/m, p = 0.003) and change in VF (hazard ratio: 1.05 per 5% change, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.08 per 5% change, p = 0.02) were associated with MetS after adjustment. Changes in subcutaneous fat were not associated with incident MetS after adjustment for clinical risk and VF area. CONCLUSIONS VF is modestly associated with BMI. However, across BMI, a single measure of and Longitudinal change in VF predict MetS, even accounting for weight changes. Visceral adiposity is essential to assessing cardiometabolic risk, regardless of age, race, or BMI, and may serve as a marker and target of therapy in cardiometabolic disease.

TI Screening for Germline Mismatch Repair Mutations Following Diagnosis of Sebaceous Neoplasm SO JAMA DERMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID NONPOLYPOSIS COLORECTAL-CANCER; MUIR-TORRE-SYNDROME; LYNCH-SYNDROME; MSH2; RECOMMENDATIONS; INDIVIDUALS; DEFICIENCY; EXPRESSION; PROTEINS; FAMILIES AB IMPORTANCE Sebaceous neoplasms (SNs) define the Muir-Torre syndrome variant of Lynch syndrome (LS), which is associated with increased risk for colon and other cancers necessitating earlier and more frequent screening to reduce morbidity and mortality. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins in SNs can be used to screen for LS, but data on subsequent germline genetic testing to confirm LS diagnosis are limited. OBJECTIVE To characterize the utility of IHC screening of SNs in identification of germline MMR mutations confirming LS. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective study at 2 academic cancer centers of 86 adult patients referred for clinical genetics evaluation after diagnosis of SN. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Results of tumor IHC testing and germline genetic testing were reviewed to determine positive predictive value and sensitivity of IHC testing in diagnosis of LS. Clinical variables, including age at diagnosis of SN, clinical diagnostic criteria for LS and Muir-Torre syndrome, and family history characteristics were compared between mutation carriers and noncarriers. RESULTS Of 86 patients with SNs, 25 (29%) had germline MMR mutations confirming LS. Among 77 patients with IHC testing on SNs, 38 (49%) had loss of staining of 1 or more MMR proteins and 14 had germline MMR mutations. Immunohistochemical analysis correctly identified 13 of 16 MMR mutation carriers, corresponding to 81% sensitivity. Ten of 12 patients (83%) with more than 1 SN had MMR mutations. Fifty-two percent of MMR mutation carriers did not meet clinical diagnostic criteria for LS, and 11 of 25 (44%) did not meet the clinical definition of Muir-Torre syndrome. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Immunohistochemical screening of SNs is effective in identifying patients with germline MMR mutations and can be used as a first-line test when LS is suspected. Abnormal IHC results, including absence of MSH2, are not diagnostic of LS and should be interpreted cautiously in conjunction with family history and germline genetic testing. Use of family history to select patients for IHC screening has substantial limitations, suggesting that universal IHC screening of SNs merits further study. Clinical genetics evaluation is warranted for patients with abnormal IHC test results, normal IHC test results with personal or family history of other LS-associated neoplasms, and/or multiple SNs.

A somatic GNAQ mutation was recently identified in patients with sporadic PWSs and Sturge-Weber syndrome. However, subsequent studies to confirm or extend this observation are lacking. OBSERVATIONS We report a long-standing, unilateral facial PWS of a man in his early 70s confirmed by histopathological analysis. Staged surgical excision of the vascular malformation was performed, and genomic DNA was extracted from the vascular malformation specimen and normal skin. Targeted next-generation sequencing of the coding sequence of 275 known cancer genes including GNAQ was performed in both specimens. A single-nucleotide variant (c.548G>A, p.Arg183Gln) in GNAQ was identified in the PWS-affected tissue but not in the normal skin sample. In addition, this sequencing approach uncovered several additional novel somatic mutations in the genes SMARCA4, EPHA3, MYB, PDGFR-beta, and PIK3CA. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Our findings confirm the presence of somatic mutations in GNAQ in the affected skin of a patient with congenital PWS, as well as alterations in several other novel genes of possible importance in the pathogenesis of PWS that may also offer substantial therapeutic targets.

We investigated 13 SNPs in the glutamate transporter gene (SLC1A1) in relation to PTSD among combat-exposed veterans. Participants (n = 418) completed a diagnostic interview and provided a blood sample for DNA isolation and genotyping. A subset of participants (n = 391) had severity and combat exposure data available. In the primary logistic regression gender and rsl 0739062 were significant predictors of PTSD diagnosis (OR = 0.50; OR = 1.43). In the linear regression analysis, combat exposure was the only significant predictor (beta = 0.16) of severity. A computed genetic risk sum score was significant in relation to PTSD diagnosis (OR = 1.15) and severity scores (beta = 0.14) above and beyond the effects of combat exposure. This study provides preliminary support for the relationship of glutamate transporter polymorphisms to PTSD risk and the need for further genetic studies within this system.

TI Racial/Ethnic and Socioeconomic Differences in Bone Loss Among Men SO JOURNAL OF BONE AND MINERAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE AGING; DXA; GENETIC STUDIES; OSTEOPOROSIS; GENERAL POPULATION STUDIES ID MINERAL DENSITY; HIP FRACTURE; OLDER MEN; RACIAL-DIFFERENCES; AFRICAN ANCESTRY; UNITED-STATES; ELDERLY-MEN; WOMEN; ASSOCIATION; POPULATION AB As men age, they lose bone and are susceptible to fracture. Despite having lower fracture rates than women, men have worse fractures than women do. Racial/ethnic and socioeconomic status (SES) disparities in fracture rates exist, yet data on rates of bone loss by race/ethnicity and SES among men are limited. We examined annualized percentage change in bone mineral density (%BMD) at the hip (N=681), spine (N=663), and forearm (N=636) during 7 years of follow-up among men aged 30-79 years at baseline. Multivariable models tested whether race/ethnicity, income, or genetic ancestry predicted annualized %BMD after controlling for an extensive set of covariates. Annualized %BMD ranged from -0.65(0.04)% (femoral neck) to +0.26(0.03)% (1/3 distal radius), and changes were consistent across age groups with the exception of the ultradistal radius, where annualized declines increased with age. Neither self-identified race/ethnicity nor genetic ancestry were associated with annualized %BMD. In contrast, income was strongly associated (dose-response) with annualized %BMD at total hip (independent of confounders, self-identified race/ethnicity, and genetic ancestry). Fully adjusted least-square mean change in annualized %BMD at the total hip were -0.24(0.12)% and -0.16(0.06)% steeper among men with low and moderate incomes, respectively, than among men with higher incomes (overall p=0.0293). Results show a linear decline in bone that begins relatively early in life among men, that rates of bone loss do not vary with race/ethnicity (self-identified or objectively measured), and that income plays an important role in relation to bone loss at the hip. These data suggest that fracture risk in men may be driven in part by income-related differences in bone loss, but also, that the known higher fracture risk among white men is not the result of racial/ethnic differences in bone loss, but rather, early life exposures that lead to attainment of higher peak bone mass among minorities.

We sought to determine the association of surgical timing with outcomes for subdural hematoma. A retrospective review was performed of 522 consecutive patients admitted to a single center from 2006-2012 who underwent emergent craniectomy for acute subdural hematoma. After excluding patients with unknown time of injury, penetrating trauma, concurrent cerebrovascular injury, epidural hematoma, or intraparenchymal hemorrhage greater than 30 mL, there remained 45 patients identified for analysis. Using a multiple regression model, we examined the effect of surgical timing, in addition to other variables on in-hospital mortality (primary outcome), as well as the need for tracheostomy or gastrostomy (secondary outcome). We found that increasing injury severity score (odds ratio [OR] 1.146; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.035-1.270; p = 0.009) and age (OR1.066; 95%CI 1.006-1.129; p = 0.031) were associated with in-hospital mortality in multivariate analysis. In this model, increasing time to surgery was not associated with mortality, and in fact had a significant effect in decreasing mortality (OR 0.984; 95%CI 0.971-0.997; p = 0.018). Premorbid aspirin use was associated with a paradoxical decrease in mortality (OR 0.019; 95%CI 0.001-0.392; p = 0.010). In this patient sample, shorter time interval from injury to surgery was not associated with better outcomes. While there are potential confounding factors, these findings support the evaluation of rigorous preoperative resuscitation as a priority in future study. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Many uses assume a relatively faithful application of the DSM diagnostic definitions. However, studies demonstrate significant discrepancies between clinical psychiatric diagnoses with those made using structured interviews suggesting that clinicians do not systematically apply the diagnostic criteria. The limited information regarding how clinicians actually use the DSM raises important questions: a) How can the clinical use be improved without first having a baseline assessment? b) How can potentially significant shifts in practice patterns based on wording changes be assessed without knowing the extent to which the criteria are used as written? Given the American Psychiatric Association's plans for interim revisions to the DSM-5, the value of a detailed exploration of its actual use in clinical practice remains a significant ongoing concern and deserves further study including a number of survey and in vivo studies.

A total of 1396 adults were recruited through nationwide multistage probability sampling in South Korea. Subjects were evaluated through face-to-face interviews using the Suicidality Module of the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Early Trauma Inventory Self Report-Short Form. Among the 1396 adults, the group that experienced both childhood trauma and parental death had the highest current suicidality risks (F = 12.16, p < 0.0001) and lifetime suicide attempt ((2) = 35.81, p < 0.0001) compared with the other groups, which were only childhood trauma, only parental death, and neither. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that middle-to-high current suicidality risk and lifetime suicide attempt were significantly associated with concurrent childhood trauma and parental death (odds ratio, 3.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.99-6.65) as well as with only childhood trauma (odds ratio, 1.95; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-2.87), after adjusting for age, sex, education, marital status, household monthly income, and living area. Emotional abuse was the only type of childhood trauma significantly associated with higher current suicidality scores in those who experienced childhood parental death than in those who did not (F = 3.26, p = 0.041). Current suicidality risk and lifetime suicide attempt are associated with experiencing both parental death and trauma, especially emotional abuse, in childhood, whereas experiencing only childhood parental death is associated with neither.

Studies comparing endophenotypes that may cut across both disordersas suggested by the National Institute of Mental Health's Research Domain Criteriaare limited. Sixty-nine individuals (AN, n = 24; BDD, n = 23; mentally healthy controls [MHCs], n = 22) completed diagnostic interviews and self-reports assessing self-esteem and perfectionism. Clinical groups showed greater perfectionism in almost all subdimensions as well as poorer self-esteem compared with MHCs, with no clinical group differences when controlling for level of depression. Depression was a mediator of the relationship between symptom severity and self-esteem in both clinical groups. Comparable low self-esteem and greater perfectionism in AN and BDD corroborated existing etiological models and previous studies. Depression was a significant contributor to negative self-esteem in both disorders. C1 [Hartmann, Andrea S.] Univ Osnabruck, Inst Psychol, D-49069 Osnabruck, Germany.

TI Trans-axillary approach for breast implant exchange in high risk cases of irradiated or attenuated skin SO JOURNAL OF PLASTIC RECONSTRUCTIVE AND AESTHETIC SURGERY LA English DT Article DE Breast cancer; Implant reconstruction; Trans-axillary; Irradiated; Post-mastectomy radiation; Tissue expander ID ACELLULAR DERMAL MATRIX; RADIATION-THERAPY; PATIENT SATISFACTION; SPARING MASTECTOMY; CANCER PATIENTS; PARADIGM SHIFT; RECONSTRUCTION; IMMEDIATE; COMPLICATIONS; OUTCOMES AB Background: Breast reconstruction with implants after tissue expansion is one of the most common methods of reconstruction. Although this approach is generally reliable, exchange of breast tissue expander for implant through the standard anterior incision presents a challenge in cases with attenuated soft tissue envelope due to radiation, thin anatomy, prior surgery, or combination of the above. We propose that a trans-axillary approach is a safe and alternate approach for implant exchange in the high-risk patients. Technique and case examples: A case series of 16 patients with multiple risk factors for compromised soft tissue that underwent a trans-axillary approach for implant exchange is reported. The trans-axillary implant exchange technique involves use of a standard 4 cm axillary incision, removal of the expander, judicious capsulotomy, placement of permanent implant, and closure in three separate tissue layers. Results: All trans-axillary cases were successful and all incisions were well healed without dehiscence, infection, or seroma. The average patient age was 49.4 years, and 50% of patients had received or were scheduled to receive radiation therapy. Nine patients underwent unilateral trans-axillary expander exchange while 7 patients were bilateral. Median implant size was 360 cc (mean 369 cc, range 150-600 cc), and mean follow-up for all patients was over 24 months. There were no cases of implant extrusion, capsular contracture requiring re-operation, or lymphedema. Six patients underwent concurrent or subsequent nipple reconstruction. Conclusions: This approach illustrates application of a technique commonly used in breast aesthetic augmentation to address a common reconstructive dilemma, which we believe to be a useful tool in prosthesis-based breast reconstruction, especially in patients with compromised soft tissue envelopes.

DesignProspective cohort study with longitudinal analysis. SettingTwo U.S. clinical sites. ParticipantsPopulation-based sample of community-dwelling older adults with no mobility disability at 2000/01 examination (N=1,680; mean age SD 76.52.9, body mass index 27.14.6; 50.2% female, 36.6% black, 10.7% with diabetes mellitus). MeasurementsMotor nerve conduction amplitude (poor <1 mV) and velocity (poor <40m/s) were measured on the deep peroneal nerve. Sensory nerve function was measured using 10- and 1.4-g monofilaments and vibration detection threshold at the toe. Lower extremity symptoms included numbness or tingling and aching or burning pain. Incident mobility disability assessed semiannually over 8.5years (interquartile range 4.5-9.6years) was defined as two consecutive self-reports of a lot of difficulty or inability to walk one-quarter of a mile or climb 10 steps. ResultsNerve impairments were detected in 55% of participants, and 30% developed mobility disability. Worse motor amplitude (HR=1.29 per SD, 95% CI=1.16-1.44), vibration detection threshold (HR=1.13 per SD, 95% CI=1.04-1.23), symptoms (HR=1.65, 95% CI=1.26-2.17), two motor impairments (HR=2.10, 95% CI=1.43-3.09), two sensory impairments (HR=1.91, 95% CI=1.37-2.68), and three or more nerve impairments (HR=2.33, 95% CI=1.54-3.53) predicted incident mobility disability after adjustment. Quadriceps strength mediated relationships between certain nerve impairments and mobility disability, although most remained significant. ConclusionPoor sensorimotor nerve function independently predicted mobility disability. Future work should investigate modifiable risk factors and interventions such as strength training for preventing disability and improving function in older adults with poor nerve function.

DesignRandomized controlled trial. SettingGeneral community. ParticipantsSeventy-two inactive community-dwelling older adults with self-reported sleep and cognitive problems (mean age 73.36.1; 60% women). InterventionRandom allocation to four arms using a two-by-two factorial design: aerobic+cognitive training, aerobic+educational DVD, stretching+cognitive training, and stretching+educational DVD arms (60min/d, 3d/wk for physical and mental activity for 12weeks). MeasurementsChange in sleep quality using seven questions from the Sleep Disorders Questionnaire on the 2005 to 2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (range 0-28, with higher scores reflecting worse sleep quality). Analyses used intention-to-treat methods. ResultsSleep quality scores did not differ at baseline, but there was a significant difference between the study arms in change in sleep quality over time (P<.005). Mean sleep quality scores improved significantly more in the stretching+educational DVD arm (5.1 points) than in the stretching+cognitive training (1.2 points), aerobic+educational DVD (1.1 points), or aerobic+cognitive training (0.25 points) arms (all P<.05, corrected for multiple comparisons). Differences between arms were strongest for waking at night (P=.02) and taking sleep medications (P=.004). ConclusionSelf-reported sleep quality improved significantly more with low-intensity physical and mental activities than with moderate- or high-intensity activities in older adults with self-reported cognitive and sleep difficulties. Future longer-term studies with objective sleep measures are needed to corroborate these results. C1 [Pa, Judy; Yaffe, Kristine] Univ Calif San Francisco, Dept Neurol, San Francisco, CA USA.

In a RNA microarray analysis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) specimens (n = 5), this gene was found to be overexpressed in CLL as compared to normal peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) CD19 + B cells (n = 3). CLL specimens (n = 29) expressed Rasgrf-1 RNA at levels 5-300-fold higher as compared to normal B cells. CLL specimens expressed a 75 kDa isoform that was smaller than the expected full-length protein (140 kDa) and the truncated variant had higher GEF activity. Knockdown of Rasgrf-1 in CLL specimens inhibited active GTP-bound Ras and the Ras/Erk/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Rasgrf-1 was phosphorylated and activated by B cell receptor (BCR) signaling that increased its GEF function, and this phosphorylation was blocked by Src and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors. Rasgrf-1 is a novel GEF protein that has a role in BCR signaling and its overexpression further activates the Ras/Erk/MAPK pathway in CLL specimens.

Methods: During treatment of lung SBRT cases, BEV images were continuously acquired with an electronic portal imaging device (EPID) operating in cine mode. For absolute registration of physician-defined volumes, an intensity based 2D/3D registration to the planning CT was performed using the end-of-exhale (EoE) phase of the four dimensional computed tomography (4DCT). The volume was converted from Hounsfield units into electron density by a calibration curve and digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) were generated for each beam geometry. Using normalized cross correlation between the DRR and an EoE BEV image, the best in-plane rigid transformation was found. The transformation was applied to physician-defined contours in the planning CT, mapping them into the EPID image domain. A robust multiregion method of relative markerless lung tumor tracking quantified deviations from the EoE position. Results: The success of 2D/3D registration was demonstrated at the EoE breathing phase. By registering at this phase and then employing a separate technique for relative tracking, the authors are able to successfully track target volumes in the BEV images throughout the entire treatment delivery. Conclusions: Through the combination of EPID/4DCT registration and relative tracking, a necessary step toward the clinical implementation of BEV tracking has been completed. The knowledge of tumor volumes relative to the treatment field is important for future applications like real-time motion management, adaptive radiotherapy, and delivered dose calculations.

Collection of tumor motion data to train the prediction model is required for most algorithms. To avoid exposure of patients to additional dose from imaging during this procedure, the feasibility of training a linear respiratory motion prediction model with an external surrogate signal is investigated and its performance benchmarked against training the model with tumor positions directly. Methods: The authors implement a lung tumor motion prediction algorithm based on linear ridge regression that is suitable to overcome system latencies up to about 300 ms. Its performance is investigated on a data set of 91 patient breathing trajectories recorded from fiducial marker tracking during radiotherapy delivery to the lung of ten patients. The expected 3D geometric error is quantified as a function of predictor lookahead time, signal sampling frequency and history vector length. Additionally, adaptive model retraining is evaluated, i.e., repeatedly updating the prediction model after initial training. Training length for this is gradually increased with incoming (internal) data availability. To assess practical feasibility model calculation times as well as various minimum data lengths for retraining are evaluated. Relative performance of model training with external surrogate motion data versus tumor motion data is evaluated. However, an internal-external motion correlation model is not utilized, i.e., prediction is solely driven by internal motion in both cases. Results: Similar prediction performance was achieved for training the model with external surrogate data versus internal (tumor motion) data. Adaptive model retraining can substantially boost performance in the case of external surrogate training while it has little impact for training with internal motion data. A minimum adaptive retraining data length of 8 s and history vector length of 3 s achieve maximal performance. Sampling frequency appears to have little impact on performance confirming previously published work. By using the linear predictor, a relative geometric 3D error reduction of about 50% was achieved (using adaptive retraining, a history vector length of 3 s and with results averaged over all investigated lookahead times and signal sampling frequencies). The absolute mean error could be reduced from (2.0 +/- 1.6) mm when using no prediction at all to (0.9 +/- 0.8) mm and (1.0 +/- 0.9) mm when using the predictor trained with internal tumor motion training data and external surrogate motion training data, respectively (for a typical lookahead time of 250 ms and sampling frequency of 15 Hz). Conclusions: A linear prediction model can reduce latency induced tracking errors by an average of about 50% in real-time image guided radiotherapy systems with system latencies of up to 300 ms. Training a linear model for lung tumor motion prediction with an external surrogate signal alone is feasible and results in similar performance as training with (internal) tumor motion. Particularly for scenarios where motion data are extracted from fluoroscopic imaging with ionizing radiation, this may alleviate the need for additional imaging dose during the collection of model training data.

Therefore, it is essential to understand the molecular network responsible for regulating radiosensitivity/resistance. Here, an unbiased functional screen identified four microRNAs (miR1, miR125a, miR150, and miR425) that induce radioresistance. Considering the clinical importance of radiotherapy for patients with glioblastoma, the impact of these miRNAs on glioblastoma radioresistance was investigated. Overexpression of miR1, miR125a, miR150, and/or miR425 in glioblastoma promotes radioresistance through upregulation of the cell-cycle checkpoint response. Conversely, antagonizing with antagomiRs sensitizes glioblastoma cells to irradiation, suggesting their potential as targets for inhibiting therapeutic resistance. Analysis of glioblastoma datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) revealed that these miRNAs are expressed in glioblastoma patient specimens and correlate with TGF beta signaling. Finally, it is demonstrated that expression of miR1 and miR125a can be induced by TGF beta and antagonized by a TGF beta receptor inhibitor. Together, these results identify and characterize a new role for miR425, miR1, miR125, and miR150 in promoting radioresistance in glioblastomas and provide insight into the therapeutic application of TGFb inhibitors in radiotherapy.

Materials and methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to conduct a retrospective study on 34,437 patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer from 2007 to 2010. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were applied to determine the impact of race on cancer stage at presentation (metastatic vs. non-metastatic) and receipt of definitive treatment. Fine and Gray competing-risks regression modeled the association between race and head and neck cancer-specific mortality. Results: African Americans were more likely to present with metastatic cancer compared to non-African Americans (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 1.76; CI 1.50-2.07; P < 0.001). Among patients with non-metastatic disease, African Americans were less likely to receive definitive treatment (AOR 0.63; CI 0.55-0.72; P < 0.001). After a median follow-up of 19 months, African Americans with non-metastatic disease were found to have a higher risk of head and neck cancer specific mortality (AHR 1.19; 95% CI 1.09-1.29; P < 0.001). Conclusion: African Americans with head and neck cancer are more likely to present with metastatic disease, less likely to be treated definitively, and are more likely to die from head and neck cancer. The unacceptably high rates of disparity found in this study should serve as immediate targets for urgent healthcare policy intervention. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We examine the incidence and imaging characteristics of retroclival collections in young children with abusive head trauma. We conducted a database search to identify children with abusive head trauma a parts per thousand currency sign3 years of age with brain imaging performed between 2007 and 2013. Clinical data and brain images of 65 children were analyzed. Retroclival collections were identified in 21 of 65 (32%) children. Ten (48%) were subdural, 3 (14%) epidural, 2 (10%) both, and 6 (28%) indeterminate. Only 8 of 21 retroclival collections were identifiable on CT and most were low or intermediate in attenuation. Eighteen of 21 retroclival collections were identifiable on MRI: 3 followed cerebral spinal fluid in signal intensity and 15 were bloody/proteinaceous. Additionally, 2 retroclival collections demonstrated a fluid-fluid level and 2 enhanced in the 5 children who received contrast material. Sagittal T1-weighted images, sagittal fluid-sensitive sequences, and axial FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) images showed the retroclival collections best. Retroclival collections were significantly correlated with supratentorial and posterior fossa subdural hematomas and were not statistically correlated with skull fracture or parenchymal brain injury. Retroclival collections, previously considered rare lesions strongly associated with accidental injury, were commonly identified in this cohort of children with abusive head trauma, suggesting that retroclival collections are an important component of the imaging spectrum in abusive head trauma. Retroclival collections were better demonstrated on MRI than CT, were commonly identified in conjunction with intracranial subdural hematomas, and were not significantly correlated with the severity of brain injury or with skull fractures.

Secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure causes over 40,000 deaths per year, but healthcare systems rarely address this risk factor. In September 2012, Massachusetts General Hospital initiated routine inpatient screening for SHS exposure by adding a question to the nurses' computerized admission assessment form ("Is smoking allowed in your home or car?"). We measured the implementation of this screening question over 1 year. Methods. Multivariable analysis of hospital records of adult and pediatric admissions (N = 35,701) from September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013, to assess screening question completion and identify characteristics of nonsmokers who may be exposed to SHS. Results. Nurses entered "Yes" or "No" to the screening question for 91% of 34,295 adult admissions and 86% of 1406 pediatric admissions. Among nonsmokers, smoking in the home or car was allowed for 3% of adult admissions and 4% of pediatric admissions. Adults admitted for psychiatric diagnoses, children admitted for asthma, and patients with Medicaid insurance had higher odds of exposure to SHS in their home or car. Conclusion. Routine screening of SHS among hospitalized patients by nurses is feasible. Doing so offers hospitals an opportunity to intervene and to promote smoke-free policies in patients' homes and cars.

Limbic nuclei and circuitry development are especially vulnerable to child abuse and neglect during the first year of life. Development at the neuronal level can be severely disturbed by trauma during early infancy, resulting in maladaptive synaptic formation, impeding experience-expectant brain development. Development of basic emotions may favor the development of negative instead of positive emotions. The new concept of psychoanatomical formulation is introduced.

However, the time-course of brain activity during sustained dyspnea is unknown. Our objective was to determine the time-course of neural activity when dyspnea is sustained. Eight healthy subjects underwent brain blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic imaging (BOLD-fMRI) during mechanical ventilation with constant mild hypercapnia (similar to 45 mmHg). Subjects rated dyspnea (air hunger) via visual analog scale (VAS). Tidal volume (V-T) was alternated every 90 s between high V-T (0.96 +/- 0.23 L) that provided respiratory comfort (12 +/- 6% full scale) and low V-T (0.48 +/- 0.08 L) which evoked air hunger (56 +/- 11% full scale). BOLD signal was extracted from a priori brain regions and combined with VAS data to determine air hunger related neural time-course. Air hunger onset was associated with BOLD signal increases that followed two distinct temporal profiles within sub-regions of the anterior insula, anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortices (cortico-limbic circuitry): (1) fast, BOLD signal peak <30 s and (2) slow, BOLD signal peak >40s. BOLD signal during air hunger offset followed fast and slow temporal profiles symmetrical, but inverse (signal decreases) to the time-courses of air hunger onset. We conclude that differential cortico-limbic circuit elements have unique contributions to dyspnea sensation over time. We suggest that previously unidentified sub-regions are responsible for either the acute awareness or maintenance of dyspnea.

We argue that certain practices create a psychologically safe context for learning, a so-called safe container. Establishing a safe container, in turn, allows learners to engage actively in simulation plus debriefings despite possible disruptions to that engagement such as unrealistic aspects of the simulation, potential threats to their professional identity, or frank discussion of mistakes. Establishing a psychologically safe context includes the practices of (1) clarifying expectations, (2) establishing a fiction contract with participants, (3) attending to logistic details, and (4) declaring and enacting a commitment to respecting learners and concern for their psychological safety. As instructors collaborate with learners to perform these practices, consistency between what instructors say and do may also impact learners' engagement.

Clinical trial registries are Web-based databases of clinical trials, providing researchers, journal editors, and reviewers detailed study information to help inform trial results. What is unclear is whether clinical trial registration is required for simulation-based studies, where typically health care providers are the subjects and where the outcomes may be provider based or patient based. In this article, we describe the background and reasoning behind clinical trial registration and discuss whether simulation-based studies should be registered as a prerequisite to publication.

Closeness to the peers lost to suicide was positively correlated with grief and the belief that suicide is not preventable, with grief further elevated in close individuals with high social support from friends. Overall, social support was related to healthy attitudes about suicide including preventability, yet it was also related to some stigmatizing beliefs. Compared with 67 young adults who had not been exposed to a suicide cluster, the exposed sample was more likely to think that suicide is normal but more likely to think of it as incomprehensible.

TI Green Eggs and Ham: Strategies to Address the Growing Phenomenon of Selling a Medical School's Name SO ACADEMIC MEDICINE LA English DT Article AB In 2008, the authors published a review that highlighted an emerging trend for medical schools to change their names to those of wealthy donors. Since 2008, the names of ten benefactors have been added to the medical schools receiving their gifts. Twenty-three of the 141 U.S. medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education are currently named after donors. Large donations have the potential to positively affect all stakeholders by improving the resources that are available for research, teaching, and clinical care, but the rapid increase in the naming of medical schools after wealthy benefactors raises important concerns for those same stakeholders. In this perspective, the authors explore such concerns and identify mitigating strategies that institutions facing these issues in the future can use to ensure that the benefit associated with a gift outweighs any adverse impact. The authors argue for a strong presumption of impropriety when a donor possesses a conflict of interest with the potential to affect clinicians' judgment. They go on to assess how donors' control of funds may have an impact on institutional mission and research agenda, and analyze the right of an organization to remove a benefactor's name for alleged wrongdoing. The perspective considers how renaming may negatively affect brand recognition and the associated impact on students, residents, faculty, and alumni. Finally, it concludes with an analysis of taxpayer-funded organizations and the concern that educational renaming will lead to a slippery slope in which other public goods are effectively purchased by wealthy donors.

TI High-Dose Neuroleptics and Neuroleptic Rotation for Agitated Delirium Near the End of Life SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HOSPICE & PALLIATIVE MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE agitated delirium; terminal delirium; palliative sedation; chlorpromazine; olanzapine; end-of-life care ID PALLIATIVE SEDATION; ADVANCED CANCER; OLANZAPINE; CHLORPROMAZINE; HALOPERIDOL; TRIAL AB Reason for the study: Agitated delirium presents unique challenges for hospice and palliative care clinicians. Haloperidol, the recommended neuroleptic, may be ineffective at low dose, or poorly tolerated at higher doses. Main Findings: This article reports on two patients with refractory agitated delirium. Both developed extrapyramidal symptoms from haloperidol and required rotation to an alternate neuroleptic. Patient #1 received 2000 mg/day oral chlorpromazine. Patient #2 received greater than 200 mg/day sublingual olanzapine. Control of agitation was achieved, though the doses were substantially higher than has previously reported in the literature. Each patient experienced considerable sedation, though this was an acceptable side effect for the family. Each patient was transferred from the acute care hospital to a location of family preference. There they died within a week of transfer. Conclusions: Agitated delirium is a palliative care emergency. High doses of neuroleptic medications, with rotation to an alternate neuroleptic when side effects occur with standard haloperidol, may effectively palliate agitated delirium. This remedy can provide the patient with a peaceful dying in a place of their choosing. C1 [Bascom, Paul B.] Palliat Care Phys, Portland, OR USA.

The mechanisms for this difference are multifactorial involving the sex chromosomes, the hormones, and their receptors. We, and others, demonstrated that estrogen receptor alpha (ER)-deficient female mice developed significantly less lupus-like renal disease. This protective effect of ER deficiency occurred despite no impact on glomerular immune complex deposition. We hypothesized that decreased renal disease in ER-deficient mice was due to a dampened renal response to inflammatory stimuli. Given the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in lupus, we assessed whether there was an interaction between TLR responses and ER. Herein, we show that TLR3, 4, and 7 ligands all enhanced mesangial cell (MC) ER expression, whereas neither estrogen, nor ER, impacted TLR3, 4, or 7 expression in MCs. The lack of ER markedly decreased MC production of interleukin 6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) following addition of TLR3, 4, and 7 ligands. In MCs, TLR ligands induced ER phosphorylation and nuclear localization. TLR3-induced nuclear factor B nuclear translocation in MCs was not significantly affected by estrogen or ER. Finally, we demonstrate that female MCs express more TLR3 and respond to TLR ligands with a significantly increased production of interleukin-6 compared with male MCs. These results identify a significant impact/interaction of ER in TLR-mediated inflammatory responses in MCs. C1 Med Univ S Carolina, Ralph H Johnson VAMC, Charleston, SC 29425 USA.

Construct validity of a functional status measure composed of these domains was assessed as part of this goal. Design: Cross-sectional survey of the community-dwelling civilian population in the United States. Setting: Community. Participants: Community-dwelling adults aged 60 years and older (N=7968). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Model fit of a 20-item functional status measure to a confirmatory factor analysis model was assessed with the root mean square error of approximation and the root mean square residual. Functional status benchmarks for age were developed with curves plotting activity difficulty percentiles versus age for the general U.S. population. Results: The 20-item activity difficulty index modeled as a 3-factor construct had a root mean square error of approximation of .045 and a root mean squared residual of .052, indicating good fit. Benchmarks based on percentiles show that the median activity difficulty score is quite low for the full range studied but that there is a steady increase with increasing age. The domain regarding cognition and social function appeared to be less sensitive than the upper and lower extremity skills domains to increasing age. Conclusions: A broad measure of difficulty with functional activities can be meaningfully treated as a 3-domain construct. The scores represented by the index measuring this construct can be used to compare patients to a national sample of age-matched individuals to assess functional status using normative values.

This study investigates the long-term clinical-outcome of subjects with and without increased-EAT. Methods: Two hundred and forty-five subjects, aged 61 +/- 9 years and 34% women underwent clinically-indicated computed-tomography-angiography (CTA), and body-surfacearea adjusted EAT was measured and were followed prospectively. CTA-diagnosed coronary-arterydisease (CAD) was defined as obstructive (luminal-stenosis >= 50%), non-obstructive (luminal-stenosis: 1 -49%) and zero-obstruction. Major-adverse-cardiac-event (MACE) was defined as myocardial-infarction or cardiovascular-death. Results: EAT increased significantly from subjects with zero-obstructioncoronaries (93 +/- 37 cm(3)/m(2)) to non-obstructive-CAD (132 +/- 25 cm(3)/m(2)) to obstructive-CAD (145 +/- 35 cm(3)/m(2)) (P = 0.01). During the 48-month follow-up, the event-rate was 8.6% (21). The event free survival-rate decreased significantly from 99% in the lowest-quartile to 86.6% in the highestquartile of EAT. After adjustment for risk-factors, the hazard ratio of MACE was 1.4, 3.1 and 5.7 in lower mid-, upper mid-and highest-quartiles of EAT as compared to lowest-quartile of EAT (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Increased EAT is directly associated with CAD and predicts MACE independent of the age, gender and conventional-risk-factors. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

We here investigated whether such a combined effect affects also all-cause mortality in a sample of 1851 Whites of European ancestry. Methods: We investigated a first sample of 721 patients, 232 deaths, 3389 person-years (py). Replication was assessed in two samples of patients with T2D: the Gargano Mortality Study (GMS) of 714 patients, 127 deaths, 5426 py and the Joslin Kidney Study (JKS) comprising 416 patients, 214 deaths, 5325 py. Results: In the first sample, individuals carrying 1 or >= 2 risk alleles had 33%(p = 0.06) and 51%(p = 0.02) increased risk of mortality, as compared with individuals with no risk alleles. A similar, though not significant, trend was obtained in the two replication samples only for subject carrying >= 2 risk alleles. In a pooled analysis, individuals carrying >= 2 risk alleles had higher mortality rate as compared to those carrying 0 risk alleles (HR = 1.34, 95%Cl = 1.08-1.67; p = 0.008), and as compared to those carrying only one risk allele (HR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.13-1.75; p = 0.002). This association was independent from several possible confounders including sex, age, BMI, hypertension and diabetes status. Conclusion: Our data suggest that variants affecting insulin signaling exert a joint effect on all-cause mortality and is consistent with a role of abnormal insulin signaling on mortality risk.

It is frequently upregulated on the T cells that infiltrate tumors, providing an inhibitory signal, which may facilitate immune escape. Blocking antibodies have been developed to interrupt the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands PD-L1/PD-L2, with the goal of increasing the host antitumor immune response. Initial results have been encouraging, with durable responses in both treatment-naive and pretreated patients, along with an acceptable toxicity profile. This tolerability makes PD-1 blockade an excellent potential partner for combination strategies with the approved targeted agents, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) antibodies, as well as other investigational immune checkpoint inhibitors or agonist antibodies that may costimulate an immune response. PD-L1 expression on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells is also being evaluated as a predictive biomarker of response to treatment. This review summarizes the biological basis, preclinical studies, ongoing trials, and future challenges associated with targeting the PD-1 pathway in renal cell carcinoma.

Cancer survivors have a 20-50 % lower risk of developing Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, and patients with these neurodegenerative conditions have a substantially lower incidence of cancer. We review the epidemiologic evidence for this inverse co-morbidity and show that it is not simply an artifact of survival bias or under-diagnosis. We then review the potential biological explanations for this association, which is intimately linked to the very different nature of dividing cells and neurons. The known genetic and metabolic connections between cancer and neurodegeneration generally fall within two categories. The first includes shared genes and pathways such as Pin1 and the ubiquitin proteasome system that are dysregulated in different directions to cause one disease or the other. The second includes common pathophysiological mechanisms such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and DNA damage that drive both conditions, but with different cellular fates. We discuss examples of these biological links and their implications for developing new approaches to prevention and treatment of both diseases.

TI Monte Carlo modeling of angiographic optical coherence tomography SO BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID SPECTRAL RANGE; SIMULATIONS; TISSUES; IMAGES; BLOOD AB Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides both structural and angiographic imaging modes. Because of its unique capabilities, OCT-based angiography has been increasingly adopted into small animal and human subject imaging. To support the development of the signal and image processing algorithms on which OCT-based angiography depends, we describe here a Monte Carlo-based model of the imaging approach. The model supports arbitrary three-dimensional vascular network geometries and incorporates methods to simulate OCT signal temporal decorrelation. With this model, it will be easier to compare the performance of existing and new angiographic signal processing algorithms, and to quantify the accuracy of vascular segmentation algorithms. The quantitative analysis of key algorithms within OCT-based angiography may, in turn, simplify the selection of algorithms in instrument design and accelerate the pace of new algorithm development.

TI Miniature objective lens with variable focus for confocal endomicroscopy SO BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY; ELECTRICALLY TUNABLE LENS; MICROSCOPY; CAPSULE; TRACT AB Spectrally encoded confocal microscopy (SECM) is a reflectance confocal microscopy technology that can rapidly image large areas of luminal organs at microscopic resolution. One of the main challenges for large-area SECM imaging in vivo is maintaining the same imaging depth within the tissue when patient motion and tissue surface irregularity are present. In this paper, we report the development of a miniature vari-focal objective lens that can be used in an SECM endoscopic probe to conduct adaptive focusing and to maintain the same imaging depth during in vivo imaging. The vari-focal objective lens is composed of an aspheric singlet with an NA of 0.5, a miniature water chamber, and a thin elastic membrane. The water volume within the chamber was changed to control curvature of the elastic membrane, which subsequently altered the position of the SECM focus. The vari-focal objective lens has a diameter of 5 mm and thickness of 4 mm. A vari-focal range of 240 mu m was achieved while maintaining lateral resolution better than 2.6 mu m and axial resolution better than 26 mu m. Volumetric SECM images of swine esophageal tissues were obtained over the vari-focal range of 260 mu m. SECM images clearly visualized cellular features of the swine esophagus at all focal depths, including basal cell nuclei, papillae, and lamina propria.

Design Prospective ovarian cancer screening trial between December 1986 and June 1993. Setting General practice, occupational health departments and an ovarian cancer screening clinic at a London teaching hospital. Population Postmenopausal women, >= 45 years with a raised CAl25. Methods Volunteers with a CAl25 >= 30 U/mL underwent a pelvic ultrasound. Scans were classified as normal, abnormal (ovarian volume >= 8.8 mL) or equivocal (normal volume with abnormal morphology). Abnormal ovarian morphology was subclassified as simple cyst (single, thin walled cyst with no septa or papillary projections) or complex (all other abnormalities). Volunteers with abnormal scans were referred for a gynaecological opinion. Follow up was via the cancer registry and postal questionnaires. Main outcome measures Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of different ultrasound criteria for detection of index cancer (e.g. primary invasive epithelial carcinoma of the ovary and fallopian tube). Results Seven hundred and forty-one women underwent 1219 scans and 20 index cancers occurred during a median follow up of 6.8 years. The sensitivity for detection of ovarian cancer of different ultrasound criteria was 100% for abnormal morphology, 89.5% for abnormal volume and 84% for complex morphology. The highest specificity (97%) and positive predictive value (37.2%) was achieved using complex morphology. Conclusion A variety of ultrasound criteria can achieve high sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value for index cancers in postmenopausal women with an elevated CA 125. Use of ovarian morphology to interpret ultrasound may increase sensitivity and use of complex ovarian morphology may increase the positive predictive value.

We determine the overall retention rates for White and Black participants from the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) and explore participant and site characteristics associated with retention failure (study disengagement) for these groups. Methods: A secondary analysis of 28,118 White (age >= 55), and 4,322 Black (age >= 50) SELECT participants used multivariate Cox regression to estimate overall retention rates and to calculate HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Blacks had higher age-adjusted risk of disengagement than Whites (HR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.77-2.08). Among Black participants, those ages 50 to 54 were at three times the risk of disengagement than those >= 65 years of age (HR, 3.61; 95% CI, 2.41-5.41). Blacks age >= 65 had 1.6 times the risk of disengagement than Whites age >= 65 (HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.38-1.87). By 6 years after randomization, 84% of Whites and 69% of Blacks remained engaged in the study. Current smoking status was an independent risk factor for study disengagement for both White and Black participants. For both groups, sites whose staffs missed SELECT training sessions or who received SELECT Retention and Adherence grants were associated with increased and decreased disengagement risks, respectively. Conclusions: SELECT retention was disproportionately lower for Blacks than for Whites. Impact: The observed difference in retention rates for Blacks and Whites and factors identified by race for study disengagement in SELECT may inform retention efforts for future long-term, cancer prevention trials.

To test for multiplicative interactions, we used multivariable logistic regression and defined statistical significance using the conventional genome-wide alpha = 5E-08. Results: After accounting for multiple comparisons, there were no statistically significant SNP interactions with total, dietary, or supplemental calcium intake. Conclusions: We found no evidence of SNP interactions with calcium intake for colorectal cancer risk in a large population of 18,509 individuals. Impact: These results suggest that in genome-wide analysis common genetic variants do not strongly modify the association between calcium intake and colorectal cancer in European populations.

Immunotherapies have seen significant advances in the past 20 years, but the full potential of protective and therapeutic cancer immunotherapies has yet to be fulfilled. The insufficient efficacy of existing treatments can be attributed to a number of biological and technical issues. In this review, we detail the current limitations of immunotherapy target selection and design, and review computational methods to streamline therapy target discovery in a bioinformatics analysis pipeline. We describe specialized bioinformatics tools and databases for three main bottlenecks in immunotherapy target discovery: the cataloging of potentially antigenic proteins, the identification of potential HLA binders, and the selection epitopes and co-targets for single-epitope and multi-epitope strategies. We provide examples of application to the well-known tumor antigen HER2 and suggest bioinformatics methods to ameliorate therapy resistance and ensure efficient and lasting control of tumors.

The chemokine superfamily consists of approximately 50 endogenous chemokine ligands and 20 G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane spanning signaling receptors. Chemokines mediate the host response to cancer by directing the trafficking of leukocytes into the tumor microenvironment. This migratory response is complex and consists of diverse leukocyte subsets with both antitumor and protumor activities. Although chemokines were initially appreciated as important mediators of immune cell migration, we now know that they also play important roles in the biology of nonimmune cells important for tumor growth and progression. Chemokines can directly modulate the growth of tumors by inducing the proliferation of cancer cells and preventing their apoptosis. They also direct tumor cell movement required for metastasis. Chemokines can also indirectly modulate tumor growth through their effects on tumor stromal cells and by inducing the release of growth and angiogenic factors from cells in the tumor microenvironment. In this Masters of Immunology primer, we focus on recent advances in understanding the complex nature of the chemokine system in tumor biology with a focus on how the chemokine system could be used to augment cancer immunotherapeutic strategies to elicit a more robust and long-lasting host antitumor immune response.

The development of blocking antibodies against the inhibitory programmed death-1 (PD-1) pathway represents a clinical breakthrough in the treatment of solid tumors such as melanoma, and these agents show great promise in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The early data have been surprising in that they demonstrate that blockade of a single immune checkpoint can elicit objective responses in patients with RCC, despite the recognized complexity of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Reinvigorating the patient's own immune cells to reactivate and to target the tumor has the potential advantages of more selective killing and thus decreased toxicity. In addition, checkpoint blockade immunotherapy has the advantage of inducing a memory response that is unattainable with our current cytotoxic and targeted therapies. This Crossroads overview will highlight the emerging investigation of PD-1 blockade in RCC and how this T cell-targeted strategy may thwart the tumor's escape mechanisms and shift the immune system/tumor balance back to a state of equilibrium and even to tumor elimination.

TI BCG-induced trained immunity in NK cells: Role for non-specific protection to infection SO CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Trained immunity; BCG; Innate immunity; Vaccination ID NATURAL-KILLER-CELLS; MEMORY; REINFECTION; MECHANISMS; MONOCYTES; VACCINES AB Adaptive features of innate immunity, also termed 'trained immunity', have recently been shown to characterize monocytes of BCG vaccinated healthy volunteers. Trained immunity leads to increased cytokine production in response to non-related pathogens via epigenetic reprogramming of monocytes. Recently, memory-like properties were also observed in NK cells during viral infections, but it is unknown if memory properties of NK cells contribute to trained immunity due to BCG vaccination. BCG vaccination of healthy volunteers increased proinflammatory cytokine production following ex vivo stimulation of NK cells with mycobacteria and other unrelated pathogens up until at least three months after vaccination. In addition, in a murine model of disseminated candidiasis, BCG vaccination led to an increased survival in SOD mice, which was partially dependent on NK cells. These findings suggest that NK cells may contribute to the non-specific (heterologous) beneficial effects of BCG vaccination. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

There are limited data on the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) findings and/or cyst fluid analysis of the epithelial subtypes. The objective of this study was to determine whether there are differences in EUS and cyst fluid characteristics (carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA] concentration and cytology) among the subtypes. Patients and methods: The study cohort consisted of 85 patients (median age 68 years, 40 men) with resected and histologically confirmed branch-duct or mixed-type IPMNs who underwent preoperative EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration between 1999 and 2010 for the evaluation of pancreatic cysts. EUS and cyst fluid characteristics were analyzed retrospectively and correlated with the subtypes. Results: The numbers of evaluated cystic lesions were 1 in 79 patients, 2 in 5 patients, and 3 in 1 patient. Of 92 IPMNs analyzed, gastric-type IPMNs were the most common (n=68, 73.9%), followed by intestinal (n=17, 18.5%), oncocytic (n=5, 5.4%), and pancreatobiliary subtypes (n=2, 2.2%). Gastric-type IPMNs were significantly smaller (cutoff 30mm; P=0.002), and less likely than other subtypes to have a mass lesion or mural nodule (P=0.046) on EUS. Cyst fluid CEA concentration varied among the subtypes (median concentrations for gastric, intestinal, oncocytic, and pancreatobiliary types 619.8, 83.0, 5.1, and 270.0 ng/mL, respectively; P=0.012). The presence of neoplastic epithelial cells (P=0.624) and extracellular mucin (P=0.208) on cytology had no association with subtypes. Conclusions: Gastric-type IPMNs, the most common subtype, are characterized by high concentrations of cyst fluid CEA, small cyst diameter, and low risk EUS imaging features.

Lgr5 has been broadly accepted as a marker for intestinal cancer stem cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the monitoring of Lgr5(+) cells as a useful tool for the early diagnosis of premalignant lesions before polyp formation. Methods: In vivo molecular imaging was performed to examine colon tumorigenesis in Lgr5-EGFP mice treated with azoxymethane and dextran sodium sulfate. eGFP(+) Lgr5(+) regions in the descending colon were longitudinally monitored using side-view confocal endomicroscopy. Based on the eGFP signal intensity on the luminal surface, polyps were classified into two groups - Lgr5-high and Lgr5-low. White light colonoscopy was used to monitor polyp formation. Results: Approximately 75% of the polyps originated from foci containing Lgr5-eGFP(+) cells, whereas 25% of the polyps emerged from Lgr5(-) foci. Among eGFP(+) foci, Lgr5-high foci grew faster than Lgr5-low foci. Conclusions: Polyps developed at Lgr5(+) regions. Luminal Lgr5 expression was correlated with the growth rate of early-stage adenomas. Lgr5 is a promising molecular marker for the early diagnosis of colon tumors.

Depressed patients often have comorbid alcohol use disorder (AUD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Understanding variations in treatment preferences and care satisfaction in this population can improve care planning and outcomes. The design involved a cross-sectional comparison of veterans screening positive for depression. Veterans receiving primary care during the previous year were contacted (n = 10, 929) and were screened for depression using the PHQ-2/PHQ-9. Those with probable depression (n = 761) underwent a comprehensive assessment including screens for AUD and PTSD, treatment provider preferences, treatments received, and satisfaction with care. Treatment provider preferences differed based on specific mental health comorbidities, and satisfaction with care was associated with receipt of preferred care. Depressed veterans with comorbid PTSD were more likely to prefer care from more than one provider type (e.g., a psychiatrist and a primary care provider) and were more likely to receive treatment that matched their preferences than veterans without comorbid PTSD. Veterans receiving full or partial treatment matches affirmed satisfaction with care at higher rates, and veterans with comorbid PTSD were least satisfied when care did not match their preferences. Patient satisfaction with care is an increasingly important focus for health care systems. This study found significant variations in depressed patients' satisfaction with care in terms of treatment matching, particularly among those with comorbid PTSD. Delivery of care that matches patient treatment preferences is likely to improve depressed patient's satisfaction with the care provided.

TI The business of genomic testing: a survey of early adopters SO GENETICS IN MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE business; genomics; informatics; next-generation sequencing; personalized medicine ID HEALTH-CARE; MEDICINE AB Purpose: The practice of "genomic" (or "personalized") medicine requires the availability of appropriate diagnostic testing. Our study objective was to identify the reasons for health systems to bring next-generation Sequencing into their clinical laboratories and to understand the process by which such decisions were made. Such information may be of value to other health systems seeking to provide next-generation sequencing-testing to their patient populations. Methods: A standardized open-ended interview was conducted With the laboratory medical directors and/or department of pathology chairs of 13 different academic institutions in 10 different states. Results: Genomic testing for cancer dominated the institutional decision making, with three primary reasons: more effective delivery of cancer care, the perceived need for institutional leadership in the field of genomics, and the premise that genomics will eventually be cost-effective. Barriers to implementation included implementation cost; the time and effort needed to maintain this newer testing; challenges in interpreting genetic variants; establishing the bioinformatics infrastructure; and curating data from medical, ethical, and legal standpoints. Ultimate success depended on alignment with institutional strengths and priorities and working closely with institutional clinical programs. Conclusion: These early adopters uniformly viewed genomic analysis as an imperative for developing their expertise in the implementation and practice of genomic medicine.

TI The Yolk Sac Tumor: Reflections on a Remarkable Neoplasm and Two of the Many Intrigued By It-Gunnar Teilum and Aleksander Talerman-and the Bond It Formed Between Them SO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SURGICAL PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE yolk sac tumor; ovary; testis; germ cell tumor ID ENDODERMAL SINUS TUMOR; GERM-CELL TUMORS; CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS; TESTICULAR TERATOMAS; ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN; OVARY; TESTIS; DIFFERENTIATION; ADULTS; CARCINOMA AB One of the most remarkable of human neoplasms, the yolk sac tumor, is reviewed, emphasizing its histologic diversity and differential diagnosis, occurrence at many sites, and the shared passion for this unique neoplasm of Dr Gunnar Teilum (who deserves almost all credit for delineation of the nature of the tumor and its features) and Dr Aleksander Talerman (who made his own contribution to our knowledge of it) and the friendship it helped forge between these 2 distinguished pathologists. In a unique series of articles, beginning in the early 1940s, Teilum delineated the distinctive features of the neoplasm and recognized that it was 1 of 2 initially included as mesonephroma ovarii by Dr Walter Schiller in 1939 (the second we now know as clear cell carcinoma). Teilum named the tumor endodermal sinus tumor because it came to his attention that papillary formations common in the yolk sac tumor resembled the endodermal sinuses of the rat placenta. He focused on the histogenesis of the tumor and its morphologic features culminating in a classic paper in Cancer in 1959. Although Teilum and others recognized that yolk sac tumor could be a component of mixed germ cell tumors, Talerman was one of the first to emphasize that, particularly in the testis, it was common to see yolk sac tumor as a component of a mixed germ cell tumor. Teilum, working in Copenhagen, and Talerman, when the former was alive, working in Rotterdam, developed a warm friendship in part due to their great interest in the yolk sac tumor, although it also extended to other areas of gonadal neoplasia and indeed beyond the boundaries of medicine when they shared time together. The typical histologic features of the yolk sac tumor are the reticular-microcystic patterns Teilum described, but various other patterns, including solid and even rarer ones such as glandular and hepatoid, are now well known. There are some interesting variations in the age distribution of this tumor at various sites: for example, vaginal examples are almost restricted to children under 2 years of age; those of the testis that are pure also occur mostly in young boys (average age about 20 months) but are occasionally seen in later years; ovarian examples peak at about 19 years of age; mediastinal forms are mostly restricted to young adult males. Brief consideration is also given to the occurrence of this tumor at well-known extragonadal sites such as retroperitoneum, mediastinum, and pineal as well as more exotic locations. Note is made of the recently emphasized occurrence of the yolk sac tumor on the background of a somatic neoplasm, most often endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary. Given the wide ranging and fascinating clinical and pathologic aspects of the neoplasm, it is no surprise that it continues to be a source of great interest to any pathologist who sees one or more examples, and we are indebted to Dr Teilum for his monumental studies and to Dr Talerman for his own contributions.

We randomly selected 21 cases of fibroepithelial lesions sent in consultation to the senior author that were challenging to classify as cellular fibroadenoma or phyllodes tumor. One to 2 representative slides of each case along with patient age were sent to 10 pathologists who specialize in breast pathology. The World Health Organization criteria for phyllodes tumors and a diagnosis form were included with the study set. For the purposes of data reporting, fibroadenoma and cellular fibroadenoma are considered together. In only 2 cases was there uniform agreement as to whether the tumor represented a fibroadenoma or phyllodes tumor. Of the remaining 19 cases, if the diagnoses of fibroadenoma and benign phyllodes tumor were combined and separated from borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors, there was 100% agreement in 53% of cases and 90% agreement in 79% of cases. This study highlights the difficulty that exists in distinguishing some cellular fibroadenomas from phyllodes tumors even for pathologists who specialize in breast pathology. However, there appears to be considerable agreement when cellular fibroadenomas and benign phyllodes tumors are distinguished from borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors. Further studies are needed to determine if there is a clinically significant difference between cellular fibroadenomas and benign phyllodes tumors and how to better distinguish them from borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors.

TI Effect of Potent gamma-Secretase Modulator in Human Neurons Derived From Multiple Presenilin 1-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Mutant Carriers SO JAMA NEUROLOGY LA English DT Article ID FAMILIAL ALZHEIMERS-DISEASE; DOPAMINERGIC-NEURONS; DEFINED FACTORS; IPS CELLS; INDUCTION; A-BETA-42; MECHANISM; ES AB IMPORTANCE Although considerable effort has been expended developing drug candidates for Alzheimer disease, none have yet succeeded owing to the lack of efficacy or to safety concerns. One potential shortcoming of current approaches to Alzheimer disease drug discovery and development is that they rely primarily on transformed cell lines and animal models that substantially overexpress wild-type or mutant proteins. It is possible that drug development failures thus far are caused in part by the limits of these approaches, which do not accurately reveal how drug candidates will behave in naive human neuronal cells. OBJECTIVE To analyze purified neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells from patients carrying 3 different presenilin 1 (PS1) mutations and nondemented control individuals in the absence of any overexpression. We tested the efficacy of gamma-secretase inhibitor and gamma-secretase modulator (GSM) in neurons derived from both normal control and 3 PS1 mutations (A246E, H163R, and M146L). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Adult human skin biopsieswere obtained from volunteers at the Alzheimer Disease Research Center, University of California, San Diego. Cell cultures were treated with.-secretase inhibitor or GSM. Comparisons of total beta-amyloid (A beta) and A beta peptides 38, 40, and 42 in the media were made between vehicle-vs drug-treated cultures. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Soluble A beta levels in the media were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS As predicted, mutant PS1 neurons exhibited an elevated A beta 42: A beta 40 ratio (P < .05) at the basal state as compared with the nondemented control neurons. Treatment with a potent non-nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory druglike GSM revealed a new biomarker signature that differs from all previous cell types and animals tested. This new signature was the same in both the mutant and control neurons and consisted of a reduction in A beta 42, A beta 40, and A beta 38 and in the A beta 42: A beta 40 ratio, with no change in the total Ab levels. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This biomarker discrepancy is likely due to overexpression of amyloid precursor protein in the transformed cellular models. Our results suggest that biomarker signatures obtained with such models are misleading and that human neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells provide a unique signature that will more accurately reflect drug response in human patients and in cerebrospinal fluid biomarker changes observed during GSM treatment.

Yaffe, Kristine TI Dementia Risk After Traumatic Brain Injury vs Nonbrain Trauma The Role of Age and Severity SO JAMA NEUROLOGY LA English DT Article ID YOUNG ONSET DEMENTIA; ALZHEIMERS-DISEASE; HEAD-INJURY; ADMINISTRATIVE DATA; PARKINSONS-DISEASE; OLDER-ADULTS; POPULATION; COHORT; MORTALITY; ACCURACY AB IMPORTANCE Epidemiologic evidence regarding the importance of traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a risk factor for dementia is conflicting. Few previous studies have used patients with non-TBI trauma (NTT) as controls to investigate the influence of age and TBI severity. OBJECTIVE To quantify the risk of dementia among adults with recent TBI compared with adults with NTT. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This retrospective cohort study was performed from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2011 (follow-up, 5-7 years). All patients 55 years or older diagnosed as having TBI or NTT in 2005 and 2006 and who did not have baseline dementia or die during hospitalization (n = 164 661) were identified in a California statewide administrative health database of emergency department (ED) and inpatient visits. EXPOSURES Mild vs moderate to severe TBI diagnosed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes, and NTT, defined as fractures excluding fractures of the head and neck, diagnosed using ICD-9 codes. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Incident ED or inpatient diagnosis of dementia (using ICD-9 codes) 1 year or more after initial TBI or NTT. The association between TBI and risk of dementia was estimated using Cox proportional hazards models before and after adjusting for common dementia predictors and potential confounders. We also stratified by TBI severity and age category (55-64, 65-74, 75-84, and >85 years). RESULTS A total of 51 799 patients with trauma (31.5%) had TBI. Of these, 4361 (8.4%) developed dementia compared with 6610 patients with NTT (5.9%) (P < .001). We found that TBI was associated with increased dementia risk (hazard ratio [HR], 1.46; 95% CI, 1.41-1.52; P < .001). Adjustment for covariates had little effect except adjustment for age category (fully adjusted model HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.21-1.32; P < .001). In stratified adjusted analyses, moderate to severe TBI was associated with increased risk of dementia across all ages (age 55-64: HR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.40-2.10; P < .001; vs age 65-74: HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.30-1.64; P < .001), whereas mild TBI may be a more important risk factor with increasing age (age 55-64: HR, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.80-1.53; P = .55; vs age 65-74: HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.04-1.51; P = .02; age interaction P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among patients evaluated in the ED or inpatient settings, those with moderate to severe TBI at 55 years or older or mild TBI at 65 years or older had an increased risk of developing dementia. Younger adults may be more resilient to the effects of recent mild TBI than older adults.

OBJECTIVE To assess the relation between residential history, solar exposure, and XFS. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This clinic-based case-control study was conducted in the United States and Israel. It involved XFS cases and control individuals (all >= 60-year-old white individuals) enrolled from 2010 to 2012 (United States: 118 cases and 106 control participants; Israel: 67 cases and 72 control participants). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Weighted lifetime average latitude of residence and average number of hours per week spent outdoors as determined by validated questionnaires. RESULTS In multivariable analyses, each degree of weighted lifetime average residential latitude away from the equator was associated with 11% increased odds of XFS (pooled odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05-1.17; P<.001). Furthermore, every hour per week spent outdoors during the summer, averaged over a lifetime, was associated with 4% increased odds of XFS (pooled OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.00-1.07; P=.03). For every 1% of average lifetime summer time between 10 AM and 4 PM that sunglasses were worn, the odds of XFS decreased by 2%(OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97-0.99; P<.001) in the United States but not in Israel (OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.99-1.01; P=.92; P for heterogeneity =.005). In the United States, after controlling for important environmental covariates, history of work over water or snow was associated with increased odds of XFS (OR, 3.86; 95% CI, 1.36-10.9); in Israel, there were too few people with such history for analysis. We did not identify an association between brimmed hat wear and XFS (P>.57). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Lifetime outdoor activities may contribute to XFS. The association with work over snow or water and the lack of association with brimmed hat wear suggests that ocular exposure to light from reflective surfaces may be an important type of exposure in XFS etiology.

TI Pain Behind Bars: The Epidemiology of Pain in Older Jail Inmates in a County Jail SO JOURNAL OF PALLIATIVE MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID HEALTH-CARE; PALLIATIVE CARE; NONMALIGNANT PAIN; SCREENING-TEST; MANAGEMENT; ADULTS; PRISON; POPULATIONS; GUIDELINES; DISTRESS AB Background: The number of older jail inmates in poor health is increasing rapidly. Among older adults, pain is common and leads to greater acute care use. In jail, pain management is complicated by concerns about misuse and diversion. A lack of data about the prevalence and management of pain in older jail inmates limits our ability to develop optimal palliative care strategies for this population. Objective: To describe the prevalence of and factors associated with pain and analgesic use in a population of older jail inmates. Design: Cross-sectional study. chi(2) tests assessed association between characteristics, pain, and analgesic use. Setting/Subjects: Two hundred ten jail inmates age 55 or older. Measurements: "Severe frequent pain" defined as "severe or very severe" pain experienced "frequently or constantly" using the validated Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale. Medical conditions, substance use, and analgesic treatment determined through self-report and jail medical records. Results: Participants' mean age was 59 years; 69% had multimorbidity; 75% reported any pain; 39% reported severe frequent pain. Report of severe frequent pain was associated with multimorbidity, functional impairment, and pre-jail acute care use (p<0.05), but not with substance use (57% versus 56%, p=0.89). Within a week of their interview, most participants with severe frequent pain had received an analgesic (87%) and many received an opioid (70%). Conclusion: High rates of pain in a rapidly growing population of older jail inmates with multimorbidity and functional impairment suggest that jails are an important site for assessing symptom burden and developing appropriate palliative care interventions.

Core clinical clerkships provide an opportunity to incorporate palliative care training to address the lack of required palliative care rotations at most U.S. medical schools. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify and quantify missed opportunities to train third-year medical students in generalist palliative care during required core clerkships. Design: This study was a cross-sectional survey of third-year students at a leading U.S. medical school without a required palliative care rotation. Measurements: Students completed a survey during the last 4 months of the 2012-2013 academic year quantifying and evaluating their experiences caring for dying patients. Attitudes were assessed using a scale from a national survey of students, residents, and faculty. Results: Eighty-eight students responded (response rate [RR]=56%). More than one-quarter (26%) never participated in caring for a patient who died. More than one-half (55%) never delivered significant bad news and 38% never worked with a specialist in p
