Bernardi, Nicole Sayre, George TI Challenges to Enrollment and Participation in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Among Veterans: A Qualitative Study SO JOURNAL OF ALTERNATIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS; COGNITIVE THERAPY; CHRONIC PAIN; OF-LIFE; OEF/OIF VETERANS; MENTAL-HEALTH; CARE-SYSTEM; MEDITATION; DEPRESSION AB Background: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is associated with reduced depressive symptoms, quality of life improvements, behavioral activation, and increased acceptance among veterans. This study was conducted to increase the reach and impact of a veterans' MBSR program by identifying barriers to enrollment and participation to inform modifications in program delivery. Objective: Verify or challenge suspected barriers, and identify previously unrecognized barriers, to enrollment and participation in MBSR among veterans. Design: A retrospective qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews. Setting/location: VA Puget Sound Health Care System (Seattle, WA). Subjects: 68 interviewed, and 48 coded and analyzed before reaching saturation. Approach: Content analysis of semistructured interviews. Results: Of the participants who enrolled, most (78%) completed the program and described MBSR positively. Veterans identified insufficient or inaccurate information, scheduling issues, and an aversion to groups as barriers to enrollment. Participants who discontinued the program cited logistics (e.g., scheduling and medical issues), negative reactions to instructors or group members, difficulty understanding the MBSR practice purposes, and struggling to find time for the practices as barriers to completion. Other challenges (cohort dynamics, teacher impact on group structure and focus, instructor lack of military service, and physical and psychological challenges) did not impede participation; we interpreted these as growth-facilitating challenges. Common conditions among veterans (chronic pain, posttraumatic stress disorder, and depression) were not described as barriers to enrollment or completion. Conclusions: Women-only MBSR groups and tele-health MBSR groups could improve accessibility to MBSR for veterans by addressing barriers such as commute anxiety, time restrictions, and an aversion to mixed gender groups among women. Educating MBSR teachers about veteran culture and health challenges faced by veterans, adding psychoeducation materials that relate mindfulness practice to conditions common among veterans, and improving visual aids for mindful movement exercises in the workbook could better accommodate veterans who participate in MBSR.

TI Trends in Mammography Over Time for Women With and Without Chronic Disability SO JOURNAL OF WOMENS HEALTH LA English DT Article ID PREVENTIVE SERVICES; MOBILITY IMPAIRMENTS; PHYSICAL-DISABILITIES; BREAST-CANCER; ACCESS; BARRIERS; RECEIPT; LEVEL; CARE AB Background: Women with disabilities often receive mammograms at lower rates than do nondisabled women, although this disparity varies by disability type and severity. Given the implementation of disability civil rights laws in the early 1990s, we examined whether disability disparities in mammogram use have diminished over time. Methods: We analyzed National Health Interview Survey responses of civilian, noninstitutionalized United States female residents 50 to 74 years old from selected years between 1998 and 2010. We identified seven chronic disability types using self-reported functional impairments, activity/participation limitations, and expected duration. We conducted bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses examining associations of self-reported mammogram use within the previous two years with sociodemographic factors and disability. Results: Most chronic disability rates rose over time. The most common disability was movement difficulties, with rates increasing from 35.6% (1998) to 39.8% (2010). Mammogram rates for all women remained relatively stable over time, ranging from 72% to 75%. Bivariable analyses generally found statistically significantly lower mammogram rates for women with disability versus nondisabled women. Over time, disparities grew significantly between women with any basic action difficulty or complex activity limitation and nondisabled women (p<0.01). In multivariable logistic analyses, having any difficulty with basic actions was significantly associated with lower adjusted odds of mammography; for example, adjusted odds [95% confidence interval]=0.5 [0.3-0.8], p=0.006, in the model involving movement disability. Conclusions: Little has changed since 1998 in mammogram rates for women with versus without disabilities. Women with certain disabilities continue to experience disparities in mammography testing.

This study evaluated the effect of a patient navigator program on no-show rates at a tertiary care referral colposcopy center and explored factors associated with missed appointments. Methods: No-show rates prior and subsequent to implementation of the intervention were compared by chi-square test. We compared patient demographic, lifestyle, and diagnostic characteristics between patients who had ever and never missed appointments. We described patient-reported barriers to care. Results: Of 4,199 women evaluated in our clinic from January 2006 to December 2013, 2,441 (58%) had at least one missed appointment. African American, Hispanic, and publicly insured women tended to miss appointments more frequently than did white and privately insured women (p<0.0001). Patients who missed appointments tended to have more abnormal cytology (p<0.0001), cervical pathology (p=0.007), and vulvar pathology (p=0.001). No-show rates declined from 49.7% to 29.5% after implementation of the patient navigator program (p<0.0001). We found that 45% of patient no-shows were anticipated or a result of patient misunderstanding and could be mediated with targeted education by the patient navigator. Conclusions: Patient navigator programs at referral centers reduce no-show rates, thus improving patient follow-up, which may reduce disparities in cervical cancer screening and treatment.

The AGEC is intended to reduce unnecessary surgeries for benign nodules, and management algorithms favor surgery for suspicious results. Limited data are available on the performance of this test for Hurthle cell nodules (HCNs). This study hypothesized that a predominance of Hurthle cells leads to an increased rate of suspicious AGEC results with a potential for overtreatment, despite a relatively low risk of malignancy. Methods: The pathology databases from three tertiary care facilities were queried from 2010 to 2014 for fine-needle aspirates (FNAs) diagnosed as suspicious for Hurthle cell neoplasm (SHCN) or atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance concerning for Hurthle cell neoplasm (AFHCN). Cytology diagnoses were rendered internally prior to AGEC testing. The patient demographics, FNA diagnosis, AGEC result, surgical procedure, and pathologic outcomes were recorded. Results: The cohort consisted of 134 patients with HCNs. Prior to AGEC availability, 62 patients underwent surgery: 81% (50/62) of patients had surgery, and 34% (17/50) of the resected index nodules were malignant. After introduction of the AGEC, 72 patients underwent AGEC testing: 65% (47/72) of patients had surgery, and 13% (6/46) of the resected nodules were malignant. Thirty-two percent (23/72) of patients had a benign AGEC result and did not undergo surgery, and 4% (3/72) had surgery despite a benign AGEC result with benign final pathology, whereas 63% (45/72) of patients had suspicious AGEC results, with 96% of these patients (43/45) undergoing surgery, and 14% (6/43) of these index nodules were malignant. Conclusions: While 32% of tested patients declined surgery based on a benign AGEC, 86% of patients with suspicious AGEC findings had unnecessary surgery, reflecting a substantially lower rate of malignancy from what was previously reported for all indeterminate nodules. Given the approximate pretest malignancy risk of 25-35% for an FNA diagnosis of SHCN or AFHCN, a suspicious AGEC diagnosis does not increase the probability of malignancy in an HCN, and patients should be counseled accordingly.

TI Toward New Engagement Paradigms For Intraocular Lenses: Light-Initiated Bonding of Capsular Bag to Lens Materials SO INVESTIGATIVE OPHTHALMOLOGY & VISUAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article DE A-IOLs; lens capsule; photobonding; physiological optics ID CROSS-LINKING; PHOTOCHEMICAL KERATODESMOS; CORNEAL INCISIONS; ROSE-BENGAL; TISSUE; ACCOMMODATION; FORCE; EYES AB PURPOSE. Successful intraocular lens procedures, that is, implantation of accommodating intraocular lenses (A-IOL), require firm engagement of the IOL haptics to the capsular bag. We evaluated the use of photochemical bonding to engage IOL materials to the capsular bag. METHODS. Freshly enucleated eyes of New Zealand rabbits were used in two types of photobonding experiments using Rose Bengal (RB) photoinitiation and green light (532-nm) irradiation. First, RB-stained capsular bag strips were photobonded ex vivo to IOL polymer [poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) pHEMA] strips in an atmosphere of air and of nitrogen. Second, IOLs were implanted intracapsularly and photobonded intraocularly. Irradiation times were between 30 and 180 seconds, and laser irradiance was between 0.25 and 0.65 W/cm(2). The strength of the bonding was tested using a custom-developed uniaxial extensiometry system and the breakage load (the load that caused breakage per bonded area) was calculated. RESULTS. The breakage load of ex vivo capsule-pHEMA bonds increased exponentially with irradiation time, using 0.45 W/cm(2). In air, the average breakage load across all conditions was 1 g/mm(2) and 1.6 times lower than that in a nitrogen atmosphere. Intraocularly, RB-stained IOLs were strongly photobonded to the capsule bag with breakage loads > 0.8 g/mm(2). CONCLUSIONS. Breakage of the photobonded linkage between IOL material and capsular bag required loads substantially greater than the maximum force of ciliary muscle, suggesting that this technology may introduce a new paradigm for engagement of A-IOLs. The bonding produced in air was stronger than that in nitrogen atmosphere, suggesting that oxygen is involved in the chemical mechanism for photobonding.

TI Health Outcomes of Obtaining Housing Among Older Homeless Adults SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH LA English DT Article ID EMERGENCY-DEPARTMENT VISITS; MINI-MENTAL-STATE; POPULATION; INDEX; INTERVENTIONS; INDIVIDUALS; VALIDATION; DEPRESSION; IMPROVE; ILLNESS AB Objectives. We determined the impact of obtaining housing on geriatric conditions and acute care utilization among older homeless adults. Methods. We conducted a 12-month prospective cohort study of 250 older homeless adults recruited from shelters in Boston, Massachusetts, between January and June 2010. We determined housing status at follow-up, determined number of emergency department visits and hospitalizations over 12 months, and examined 4 measures of geriatric conditions at baseline and 12 months. Using multivariable regression models, we evaluated the association between obtaining housing and our outcomes of interest. Results. At 12-month follow-up, 41% of participants had obtained housing. Compared with participants who remained homeless, those with housing had fewer depressive symptoms. Other measures of health status did not differ by housing status. Participants who obtained housing had a lower rate of acute care use, with an adjusted annualized rate of acute care visits of 2.5 per year among participants who obtained housing and 5.3 per year among participants who remained homeless. Conclusions. Older homeless adults who obtained housing experienced improved depressive symptoms and reduced acute care utilization compared with those who remained homeless.

TI Patient-Centered mHealth Living Donor Transplant Education Program for African Americans: Development and Analysis SO JMIR RESEARCH PROTOCOLS LA English DT Article DE kidney transplantation; living donors; mobile apps; qualitative research; telemedicine ID SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; KIDNEY-TRANSPLANTATION; RENAL-TRANSPLANTATION; INTRINSIC MOTIVATION; HEALTH-CARE; INTERVENTION; CANDIDATES; RECIPIENTS AB Background: There is a critical need to expand the pool of available kidneys for African Americans who are on the transplant wait-list due to the disproportionally lower availability of deceased donor kidneys compared with other races/ethnic groups. Encouraging living donation is one method to fill this need. Incorporating mHealth strategies may be a way to deliver educational and supportive services to African American transplant-eligible patients and improve reach to those living in remote areas or unable to attend traditional group-session-based programs. Before program development, it is essential to perform formative research with target populations to determine acceptability and cultivate a patient-centered and culturally relevant approach to be used for program development. Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate African American kidney transplant recipients' and kidney donors'/potential donors' attitudes and perceptions toward mobile technology and its viability in an mHealth program aimed at educating patients about the process of living kidney donation. Methods: Using frameworks from the technology acceptance model and self-determination theory, 9 focus groups (n=57) were administered to African Americans at a southeastern medical center, which included deceased/living donor kidney recipients and living donors/potential donors. After a demonstration of a tablet-based video education session and explanation of a group-based videoconferencing session, focus groups examined members' perceptions about how educational messages should be presented on topics pertaining to the process of living kidney donation and the transplantation. Questionnaires were administered on technology use and perceptions of the potential program communication platform. Transcripts were coded and themes were examined using NVivo 10 software. Results: Qualitative findings found 5 major themes common among all participants. These included the following: (1) strong support for mobile technology use; (2) different media formats were preferred; (3) willingness to engage in video chats, but face-to-face interaction sometimes preferred; (4) media needs to be user friendly; (5) high prevalence of technology access. Our results show that recipients were willing to spend more time on education than the donors group, they wanted to build conversation skills to approach others, and preferred getting information from many sources, whereas the donor group wanted to hear from other living donors. The questionnaires revealed 85% or more of the sample scored 4+ on a 5-point Liken scale, which indicates high degree of interest to use the proposed program, belief that other mHealth technologies would help with adherence to medical regimens, and doctors would make regimen adjustments quicker. In addition, high utilization of mobile technology was reported; 71.9% of the participants had a mobile phone and 43.9% had a tablet. Conclusions: Our study supports the use of an mHealth education platform for African Americans to learn about living donation. However, potential recipients and potential donors have differing needs, and therefore, programs should be tailored to each target audience.

They are released into the surrounding milieu, including plasma, urine, saliva, and tissues. Exosomes are highly enriched in microRNAs (miRs), which function in recipient cells by regulating posttranscriptional processing of targeted genes. Interaction of a miR with its mRNA target typically results in suppression of its gene expression. Peripheral inflammatory conditions can modulate miR expression in immune cells such as circulating monocytes that can influence their migration and differentiation. Changes within monocyte-derived macrophage miR expression can influence exosome content and further affect end-organ target cells.

A secondary aim is for this model to serve as proof of concept for derivation of a more general congenital heart disease prognostic model, of which the VSD model will be the first component. Study design For 12 years, 2334 subjects with congenital heart disease were prospectively and consecutively enrolled. Of these, 675 had VSD and form the derivation cohort. One hundred seven other subjects with VSD followed in another practice formed the validation cohort. The derivation cohort was serially stratified based on clinical and demographic features correlating with SFFI. Results Six strata were defined, the most favorable predicting nearly 100% SFFI at 10 years, and the least favorable, a high likelihood of event within weeks. Strata with best SFFI had many subjects with nearly normal physiology, muscular VSD location, or prior intervention. In the validation cohort, the relation between predicted and actual SFFI at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years follow-up had areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves 0.800 or greater. Conclusions A prediction model for SFFI in VSD has been derived and validated. It has potential for clinical application to the benefit of patients and families, medical trainees, and practicing physicians.

TI Associations between Gut Microbial Colonization in Early Life and Respiratory Outcomes in Cystic Fibrosis SO JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS LA English DT Article ID PULMONARY EXACERBATIONS; OROPHARYNGEAL CULTURES; YOUNG-CHILDREN; PSEUDOMONAS-AERUGINOSA; INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA; BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES; INFLAMMATORY DISEASE; IMMUNE-SYSTEM; DELIVERY MODE; INFANTS AB Objective To examine patterns of microbial colonization of the respiratory and intestinal tracts in early life in infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their associations with breastfeeding and clinical outcomes. Study design A comprehensive, prospective longitudinal analysis of the upper respiratory and intestinal microbiota in a cohort of infants and young children with CF followed from birth was performed. Genus-level microbial community composition was characterized using 16S-targeted pyrosequencing, and relationships with exposures and outcomes were assessed using linear mixed-effects models, time-to-event analysis, and principal components analysis. Results Sequencing of 120 samples from 13 subjects collected from birth to 34 months revealed relationships between breastfeeding, microbial diversity in the respiratory and intestinal tracts, and the timing of onset of respiratory complications, including exacerbations and colonization with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Fluctuations in the abundance of specific bacterial taxa preceded clinical outcomes, including a significant decrease in bacteria of the genus Parabacteroides within the intestinal tract prior to the onset of chronic P aeruginosa colonization. Specific assemblages of bacteria in intestinal samples, but not respiratory samples, were associated with CF exacerbation in early life, indicating that the intestinal microbiome may play a role in lung health. Conclusions Our findings relating breastfeeding to respiratory outcomes, gut diversity to prolonged periods of health, and specific bacterial communities in the gut prior to respiratory complications in CF highlight a connection between the intestinal microbiome and health and point to potential opportunities for antibiotic or probiotic interventions. Further studies in larger cohorts validating these findings are needed.

TI Dimeric CRISPR RNA-Guided FokI-dCas9 Nucleases Directed by Truncated gRNAs for Highly Specific Genome Editing SO HUMAN GENE THERAPY LA English DT Article ID CAS NUCLEASES; DNA CLEAVAGE; TARGET; ENDONUCLEASE; IDENTIFICATION; NICKASES; CELLS AB Monomeric clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated 9 (Cas9) nucleases have been widely adopted for simple and robust targeted genome editing but also have the potential to induce high-frequency off-target mutations. In principle, two orthogonal strategies for reducing off-target cleavage, truncated guide RNAs (tru-gRNAs) and dimerization-dependent RNA-guided FokI-dCas9 nucleases (RFNs), could be combined as tru-RFNs to further improve genome editing specificity. Here we identify a robust tru-RFN architecture that shows high activity in human cancer cell lines and embryonic stem cells. Additionally, we demonstrate that tru-gRNAs reduce the undesirable mutagenic effects of monomeric FokI-dCas9. Tru-RFNs combine the advantages of two orthogonal strategies for improving the specificity of CRISPR/Cas nucleases and therefore provide a highly specific platform for performing genome editing.

TI Hospice Enrollment, Local Hospice Utilization Patterns, and Rehospitalization in Medicare Patients SO JOURNAL OF PALLIATIVE MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID OF-LIFE CARE; HEALTH-CARE; PATIENTS PREFERENCES; REGIONAL-VARIATIONS; MENTAL-HEALTH; LAST YEAR; END; CANCER; DEATH; QUALITY AB Background: Rehospitalizations are prevalent and associated with decreased quality of life. Although hospice has been advocated to reduce rehospitalizations, it is not known how area-level hospice utilization patterns affect rehospitalization risk. Objectives: The study objective was to examine the association between hospice enrollment, local hospice utilization patterns, and 30-day rehospitalization in Medicare patients. Methods: With a retrospective cohort design, 1,997,506 hospitalizations were assessed between 2005 and 2009 from a 5% national sample of Medicare beneficiaries. Local hospice utilization was defined using tertiles representing the percentage of all deaths occurring in hospice within each Hospital Service Area (HSA). Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the relationship between 30-day rehospitalization, hospice enrollment, and local hospice utilization, adjusting for patient sociodemographics, medical history, and hospital characteristics. Results: Rates of patients dying in hospice were 27% in the lowest hospice utilization tertile, 41% in the middle tertile, and 53% in the highest tertile. Patients enrolled in hospice had lower rates of 30-day rehospitalization than those not enrolled (2.2% versus 18.8%; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.118-0.131). Patients residing in areas of low hospice utilization were at greater rehospitalization risk than those residing in areas of high utilization (19.1% versus 17.5%; HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.04-1.06), which persisted beyond that accounted for by individual hospice enrollment. Conclusions: Area-level hospice utilization is inversely proportional to rehospitalization rates. This relationship is not fully explained by direct hospice enrollment, and may reflect a spillover effect of the benefits of hospice extending to nonenrollees.

TI Detection of carotid artery calcification on the panoramic images of post-menopausal females is significantly associated with severe abdominal aortic calcification: a risk indicator of future adverse vascular events SO DENTOMAXILLOFACIAL RADIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE atherosclerosis; panoramic radiography; carotid arteries; abdominal aorta; abdominal radiography ID ATHEROSCLEROSIS; STROKE; RADIOGRAPHS; PROGRESSION; FRAMINGHAM; ROTTERDAM; ATHEROMA; DEPOSITS; DISEASE AB Objectives: Outcome studies among post-menopausal females with calcified carotid artery plaque (CCAP) on their panoramic images have not been previously undertaken. We sought to compare the extent of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) on lateral lumbar spine radiographs (LLSRs), among groups of females with (CCAP+) and without (CCAP) carotid lesions on their panoramic images. "Severe" levels of AAC have previously been validated as a risk indicator of future adverse cardiovascular events. Methods: This cross-sectional case control study included a "CCAP+ group" consisting of females more than 50 years of age having the carotid lesion diagnosed by their dentists and an atherogenic risk factor (age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia)matched "CCAP- group". A physician radiologist, using the Framingham index, evaluated the LLSRs for the magnitude of AAC. Summary statistics for key variables were computed and conditional logistic regression techniques were considered. Results: Members of the CCAP+ group were significantly (p = 0.038) more likely to demonstrate "severe" levels of AAC on their LLSRs than members of the CCAP group. Conclusions: This is the first published study demonstrating that CCAP on panoramic images of post-menopausal females is significantly associated with "severe" levels of AACs on LLSRs independent of traditional risk factors. Given that these levels of AAC are a validated risk indicator of future myocardial infarction and stroke, dentists must evaluate the panoramic images of post-menopausal females for the presence of CCAP. Patients with carotid atheromas should be referred to their physicians for further evaluation given the systemic implications. C1 [Friedlander, A.

Design: Longitudinal cohort using cycles reported to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcomes Reporting System between 2004 and 2008 among women who were treated and gave birth in Massachusetts. Setting: Not applicable. Patient(s): Assisted reproductive technology data on 6,073 births between 2004 and 2008 were linked to vital records and hospital data. Likelihood of ET >= vs. 1-2, FHB > 1 vs. 1, and risks of preterm birth (PTB, < 37 weeks' gestation), low birth weight (LBW, < 2,500 g), and small-for-gestational-age birth weight (SGA, < 10th percentile) with FHB > 1 were modeled with binary logistic regression using a backward-stepping algorithm, and presented as adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals). Intervention(s): None. Main Outcome Measure(s): ET >= 3, FHB > 1, PTB, LBW, and SGA. Result(s): Higher ET was significantly more likely with older maternal age, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, assisted hatching, cleavage-stage embryos, and thawed embryos. The likelihood of FHB > 1 with >= 3 ET vs. 1-2 ET was 2.04 (1.68-2.48). Risks of PTB and LBW with FHB > 1 were 1.63 (1.27-2.09) and 1.81 (1.36-2.39), respectively; the risk of SGA was not significant. Nulliparity was associated with higher risks of PTB (1.34 [1.12-1.59]), LBW (1.48 [1.20-1.83]), and SGA (2.17 [1.69-2.78]). Conclusion(s): Number of embryos transferred was strongly associated with FHBs, with twice the risk of FHB > 1 with >= 3 ET vs. 1-2 ET. Increasing FHBs were associated with significantly greater risks for PTB and LBW outcomes. (C)2015 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

Design: Prospective survey. Setting: Academic medical center. Patient(s): Two hundred thirty-four English-speaking women aged 18-50 years attending their first infertility visit. Intervention(s): Participants completed a survey assessing health literacy, knowledge, anxiety, and appraisals of the treatment process before and after their infertility visit. Main Outcome Measure(s): Knowledge of infertility and treatment and anxiety and appraisal scores. Result(s): Most participants were white and earned >$ 100,000/year and had at least a college education. Baseline knowledge of reproductive anatomy, assisted reproductive technology (ART), and fertility factors was modest but improved after the initial visit. Factors associated with higher knowledge included higher education and income, white or Asian ethnicity, and English as a primary language. Patient appraisals of treatment represented by the positive (Challenge) and negative (Threat and Loss) subscale scores on the Appraisal of Life Events (ALE) scale changed over time Negative appraisals of treatment and anxiety scores decreased and positive appraisals of treatment increased after the initial visit. Lower knowledge was associated with higher positive appraisal scores; lower health literacy was associated with higher anxiety and appraisal scores (positive and negative) after the visit. Black women had higher Challenge scores compared with white and Asian women. Hispanic women had higher anxiety scores than non-Hispanic women. Conclusion(s): Infertility patients have modest baseline knowledge of fertility and infertility treatment. The initial infertility visit can improve this knowledge and decrease both negative appraisals of treatment and anxiety levels. Differences in knowledge and appraisal were seen across ethnic groups and other demographic variables. Physicians should individualize patient counseling to improve patients' knowledge and provide realistic treatment expectations while also reducing patient anxiety.

This study was conducted to test whether interpatient variability in neurocognitive outcomes can be explained by polymorphisms in candidate genes conferring susceptibility to neurocognitive decline. Methods Neurocognitive testing was conducted in 350 pediatric leukemia survivors, treated on Dana-Farber Cancer Institute ALL Consortium Protocols 95-01 or 00-01. Genomic DNA was isolated from bone marrow collected at remission. Candidate polymorphisms were selected on the basis of prior literature, targeting genes related to drug metabolism, oxidative damage, altered neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, and folate physiology. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected using either a customized multiplexed Sequenom MassARRAY assay or polymerase chain reaction-based allelic discrimination assays. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the effects of genotype on neurocognitive outcomes, adjusted for the effects of demographic and treatment variables. False-discovery rate correction was made for multiple hypothesis testing, indicated as a Q value. Results Inferior cognitive or behavioral outcomes were associated with polymorphisms in three genes related to oxidative stress and/or neuroinflammation: NOS3 (IQ, Q = 0.008; Vocabulary Q = 0.011; Matrix Reasoning Q = 0.008), SLCO2A1 (IQ Q = 0.043; Digit Span Q = 0.006; Block Design Q = 0.076), and COMT (Behavioral Assessment System for Children-2 Attention Q = 0.080; and Hyperactivity Q = 0.084). Survivors homozygous for NOS3 894T, with at least one SLCO2A1 variant G allele or with at least one GSTP1 variant allele, had lower mean estimated IQ scores than those without these genotypes. Conclusion These data are consistent with the hypothesis that oxidative damage contributes to chemotherapy-associated neurocognitive decline among children with leukemia.

Hernandez-Diaz, Sonia TI Establishment of the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article ID EXPOSED PREGNANCIES; DRUGS; PREVALENCE; EXPERIENCE; LACTATION; INFANTS; SAFETY AB Objective: Atypical antipsychotics are widely used by reproductive-age women to treat a spectrum of psychiatric illnesses. Despite widespread use of this class of agents in women of childbearing potential, reproductive safety data across these medicines remain limited. The National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics (NPRAA) at Massachusetts General Hospital was established in 2008 to address this knowledge gap. Method: Data are prospectively collected from pregnant women, ages 18-45 years, using 3 phone interviews conducted at the following times: (1) proximate to the time of enrollment, (2) 7 months' gestation, and (3) 2-3 months postpartum. Subjects include pregnant women with histories of fetal exposure to second-generation antipsychotics and a comparison group of nonexposed pregnant women. Medical record release authorization is obtained for obstetric, labor and delivery, and newborn pediatric (up to 6 months of age) records. Information regarding the presence of major malformations is abstracted from the medical records along with other data regarding neonatal and maternal health outcomes. Identified cases of congenital malformations are sent to a dysmorphologist blinded to drug exposure for final adjudication. Results: As of May 2014, 428 subjects have enrolled in the NPRAA. Efforts continue to increase enrollment for the purpose of enhancing the capacity to define risk estimates of in utero exposure to atypical antipsychotics. Conclusions: The NPRAA gathers prospective data regarding risk for critical outcomes following use of atypical antipsychotics during pregnancy.

TI Neuropsychiatric Symptoms and Expenditure on Complementary and Alternative Medicine SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article ID COMMON NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS; MIND-BODY THERAPIES; STRESS REDUCTION; DEPRESSION; TRIAL; ADULTS; MEDITATION; MIGRAINE; ANXIETY; PAIN AB Objective: Neuropsychiatric symptoms affect 37% of US adults. These symptoms are often refractory to standard therapies, and patients may consequently opt for complementary and alternative medicine therapies (CAM). We sought to determine the demand for CAM by those with neuropsychiatric symptoms compared to those without neuropsychiatric symptoms as measured by out-of-pocket expenditure. Method: We compared CAM expenditure between US adults with and without neuropsychiatric symptoms (n = 23,393) using the 2007 National Health Interview Survey. Symptoms included depression, anxiety, insomnia, attention deficits, headaches, excessive sleepiness, and memory loss. CAM was defined per guidelines from the National Institutes of Health as mind-body therapies, biological therapies, manipulation therapies, or alternative medical systems. Expenditure on CAM by those without neuropsychiatric symptoms was compared to those with neuropsychiatric symptoms. Results: Of the adults surveyed, 37% had >= 1 neuropsychiatric symptom and spent $14.8 billion out-of-pocket on CAM. Those with >= 1 neuropsychiatric symptom were more likely than those without neuropsychiatric symptoms to spend on CAM (27.4% vs 20.3%, P < .001). Likelihood to spend on CAM increased with number of symptoms (27.2% with >= 3 symptoms, P < .001). After adjustment was made for confounders using logistic regression, those with >= 1 neuropsychiatric symptom remained more likely to spend on CAM (odds ratio [OR] = 1.34; 95% CI, 1.22-1.48), and the likelihood increased to 1.55 (95% CI, 1.34-1.79) for >= 3 symptoms. Anxiety (OR = 1.40 [95% CI, 1.22-1.60]) and excessive sleepiness (OR = 1.36 [95% CI, 1.21-1.54]) were the most closely associated with CAM expenditure. Conclusions: Those with >= 1 neuropsychiatric symptom had disproportionately higher demand for CAM than those without symptoms. Research regarding safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of CAM is limited; therefore, future research should evaluate these issues given the tremendous demand for these treatments.

TI Induction and Assessment of Ischemia-reperfusion Injury in Langendorff-perfused Rat Hearts SO JOVE-JOURNAL OF VISUALIZED EXPERIMENTS LA English DT Article DE Medicine; Issue 101; Ischemia reperfusion; isolated heart; cardiac preconditioning; infarct staining; histone deacetylase; cardiac function ID INHIBITION; PROTECTION; MYOCARDIUM; MECHANISM; STRESS AB The biochemical events surrounding ischemia reperfusion injury in the acute setting are of great importance to furthering novel treatment options for myocardial infarction and cardiac complications of thoracic surgery. The ability of certain drugs to precondition the myocardium against ischemia reperfusion injury has led to multiple clinical trials, with little success. The isolated heart model allows acute observation of the functional effects of ischemia reperfusion injury in real time, including the effects of various pharmacological interventions administered at any time-point before or within the ischemia-reperfusion injury window. Since brief periods of ischemia can precondition the heart against ischemic injury, in situ aortic cannulation is performed to allow for functional assessment of non-preconditioned myocardium. A saline filled balloon is placed into the left ventricle to allow for real-time measurement of pressure generation. Ischemic injury is simulated by the cessation of perfusion buffer flow, followed by reperfusion. The duration of both ischemia and reperfusion can be modulated to examine biochemical events at any given time-point. Although the Langendorff isolated heart model does not allow for the consideration of systemic events affecting ischemia and reperfusion, it is an excellent model for the examination of acute functional and biochemical events within the window of ischemia reperfusion injury as well as the effect of pharmacological intervention on cardiac pre-and postconditioning. The goal of this protocol is to demonstrate how to perform in situ aortic cannulation and heart excision followed by ischemia/reperfusion injury in the Langendorff model.

TI Impact of a Genomic Classifier of Metastatic Risk on Postprostatectomy Treatment Recommendations by Radiation Oncologists and Urologists SO UROLOGY LA English DT Article ID PROSTATE-CANCER; RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY; ADJUVANT RADIOTHERAPY; PHYSICIAN SPECIALTY; THERAPY; TRIAL AB OBJECTIVE To evaluate how a genomic classifier (GC) that predicts the risk of metastasis after prostatectomy would impact adjuvant treatment recommendations made by radiation oncologists and urologists. The 2 specialties often disagree about postprostatectomy adjuvant treatment recommendations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six radiation oncologists and 20 urologists with genitourinary oncology expertise reviewed de-identified clinical results from 11 patients after radical prostatectomy and made adjuvant treatment recommendations. The same cases were later randomized and reassigned, and treatment recommendations were made using the clinical information and GC test results together. RESULTS Using clinical information alone, observation was recommended in 42% of decisions made by urologists vs 23% by radiation oncologists (P < .0001). The GC test results altered 35% and 45% of treatment recommendations made by radiation oncologists and urologists, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed GC risk was the strongest factor influencing treatment recommendations by both specialties, with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.17 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.26-7.70) and 6.51 (95% CI, 4.29-9.88) for radiation oncologists and urologists, respectively. GC results indicating high metastatic risk resulted in intensification of treatment, whereas low metastatic risk resulted in less aggressive recommendations. The GC results increased interdisciplinary agreement in treatment recommendations, as the odds of a recommendation for adjuvant treatment by urologists vs radiation oncologists increased from 0.27 (95% CI, 0.17-0.44) to 0.46 (95% CI, 0.29-0.75) after results of the GC test were available. CONCLUSION The GC test significantly influenced adjuvant postprostatectomy treatment recommendations, reduced disagreement between radiation oncologists and urologists, and has the potential to enhance personalization of postprostatectomy care.

TI Traditional Risk Factors Versus Biomarkers for Prediction of Secondary Events in Patients With Stable Coronary Heart Disease: From the Heart and Soul Study SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article DE coronary disease; epidemiology; prevention; risk prediction ID GLOMERULAR-FILTRATION-RATE; CHRONIC KIDNEY-DISEASE; TROPONIN-T ASSAY; ARTERY-DISEASE; CARDIOVASCULAR RISK; NATRIURETIC-PEPTIDE; MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; MULTIPLE BIOMARKERS; ATRIAL-FIBRILLATION; WORKING GROUP AB Background-Patients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD) have widely varying prognoses and treatment options. Validated models for risk stratification of patients with CHD are needed. We sought to evaluate traditional and novel risk factors as predictors of secondary cardiovascular (CV) events, and to develop a prediction model that could be used to risk stratify patients with stable CHD. Methods and Results-We used independent derivation (912 participants in the Heart and Soul Study) and validation (2876 participants in the PEACE trial) cohorts of patients with stable CHD to develop a risk prediction model using Cox proportional hazards models. The outcome was CV events, defined as myocardial infarction, stroke, or CV death. The annual rate of CV events was 3.4% in the derivation cohort and 2.2% in the validation cohort. With the exception of smoking, traditional risk factors (including age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes) did not emerge as the top predictors of secondary CV events. The top 4 predictors of secondary events were the following: N-terminal pro-type brain natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, urinary albumin: creatinine ratio, and current smoking. The 5-year C-index for this 4-predictor model was 0.73 in the derivation cohort and 0.65 in the validation cohort. As compared with variables in the Framingham secondary events model, the Heart and Soul risk model resulted in net reclassification improvement of 0.47 (95% CI 0.25 to 0.73) in the derivation cohort and 0.18 (95% CI 0.01 to 0.40) in the validation cohort. Conclusions-Novel risk factors are superior to traditional risk factors for predicting 5-year risk of secondary events in patients with stable CHD.

TI Perception Versus Actual Performance in Timely Tissue Plasminogen Activation Administration in the Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article DE hospital perception; quality improvement; quality of care; stroke; thrombolytics ID QUALITY-OF-CARE; GUIDELINES PROGRAM; ASSOCIATION; OUTCOMES; ATTACK; IMPROVEMENT AB Background-Timely thrombolytic therapy can improve stroke outcomes. Nevertheless, the ability of US hospitals to meet guidelines for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) remains suboptimal. What is unclear is whether hospitals accurately perceive their rate of tPA "door-to-needle" (DTN) time within 60 minutes and how DTN rates compare across different hospitals. Methods and Results-DTN performance was defined by the percentage of treated patients who received tPA within 60 minutes of arrival. Telephone surveys were obtained from staff at 141 Get With The Guidelines hospitals, representing top, middle, and low DTN performance. Less than one-third (29.1%) of staff accurately identified their DTN performance. Among middle- and low-performing hospitals (n=92), 56 sites (60.9%) overestimated their performance; 42% of middle performers and 85% of low performers overestimated their performance. Sites that overestimated tended to have lower annual volumes of tPA administration (median 8.4 patients [25th to 75th percentile 5.9 to 11.8] versus 10.2 patients [25th to 75th percentile 8.2 to 17.3], P=0.047), smaller percentages of eligible patients receiving tPA (84.7% versus 89.8%, P=0.008), and smaller percentages of DTN <= 60 minutes among treated patients (10.6% versus 16.6%, P=0.002). Conclusions-Hospitals often overestimate their ability to deliver timely tPA to treated patients. Our findings indicate the need to routinely provide comparative provider performance rates as a key step to improving the quality of acute stroke care.

We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to quantify the impact of exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness and a variety of conventional and novel cardiometabolic biomarkers in adults without cardiovascular disease. Methods and Results-Two researchers selected 160 randomized controlled trials (7487 participants) based on literature searches of Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central (January 1965 to March 2014). Data were extracted using a standardized protocol. A random-effects meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effects of exercise interventions on cardiorespiratory fitness and circulating biomarkers. Exercise significantly raised absolute and relative cardiorespiratory fitness. Lipid profiles were improved in exercise groups, with lower levels of triglycerides and higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1. Lower levels of fasting insulin, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance, and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c were found in exercise groups. Compared with controls, exercise groups had higher levels of interleukin-18 and lower levels of leptin, fibrinogen, and angiotensin II. In addition, we found that the exercise effects were modified by age, sex, and health status such that people aged <50 years, men, and people with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or metabolic syndrome appeared to benefit more. Conclusions-This meta-analysis showed that exercise significantly improved cardiorespiratory fitness and some cardiometabolic biomarkers. The effects of exercise were modified by age, sex, and health status. Findings from this study have significant implications for future design of targeted lifestyle interventions.

Understanding pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles relevant to psychopharmacology in geriatric patients is increasingly important to optimize psychiatric treatment. This review discusses the four pharmacokinetic processes (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) with regard to age-related changes. These include a generally slower rate of absorption, increases in the ratio of adipose to lean body mass and volume of distribution of medications, reductions in phase I metabolism, and decreases in renal function. In addition, this review discusses pharmacodynamic factors relevant to pharmacotherapy in older age, such as changes in receptor density and homeostatic and regulatory mechanisms. Geriatric psychopharmacology will benefit from an expanding evidence base as research on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics increasingly includes older individuals.

Older adults may suffer from disturbances of sleep that are related to medical problems, to psychiatric illness, to primary sleep disorders, to use or withdrawal from drugs/medications, and/or to poor sleep habits. Loss of sleep in older adults is associated with significant morbidity, low quality of life, and mortality. When approaching the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders in elderly patients, it is important to evaluate and treat comorbid conditions. Pharmacologic treatments for sleep, although increasingly common, present significant challenges due to age-related changes in drug metabolism and clearance, side effects, and drug-drug interactions. When possible, it is preferable to manage sleep problems with nonpharmacologic approaches. This review discusses current pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments for sleep problems in the elderly.

This review summarizes clinical data on agents associated with cognitive enhancement in AD, particularly the currently approved anti-AD medications including the acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) (donepezil, galantamine, and rivastigmine) and the N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist, memantine. Initiation and maintenance of stage-appropriate monotherapy or combination therapy with a ChEI and memantine provides the best pharmacologic approach to stem the expected inexorable course of cognitive decline. Discontinuation of agents that impair cognition and treatment of comorbid conditions (eg, sleep disorders, dehydration, depression, anxiety, pain, as well as metabolic, hormone, and vitamin derangements) may also improve cognition. The preponderance of evidence regarding ChEIs, memantine, and vitamin E strongly supports modest, but clinically relevant, "disease-course modifying" effects of cognitive enhancement (eg, improvement, stabilization, or shifting of the trajectory of cognitive or functional decline) in patients who receive appropriate and persistent treatment.

RLS is a neurologic disorder with a circadian rhythmicity characterized by an overwhelming urge to move the legs during rest, which can be relieved temporarily by movement. RLS has been associated with an increase in sleep disturbance, higher cardiovascular morbidity, decreased quality of life, and an increased risk of death in patients with CKD. Although the exact pathophysiology of RLS is unknown, it is thought to involve an imbalance in iron metabolism and dopamine neurotransmission in the brain. The symptoms of moderate to severe RLS can be treated with several pharmacologic agents; however, data specific to patients on dialysis with RLS are lacking. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between, and complications of, RLS and CKD both in dialysis and nondialysis patients, and discuss the treatment options for patients on dialysis with RLS.

In 2008, only 19% of the homeless women seen by Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) were screened for cervical cancer. To improve screening, BHCHP implemented a 6-part intervention that incorporates point-of-care service, multidisciplinary screening, improved health maintenance forms, population management, process improvement, and increased provider and patient education. This resulted in a significant increase in cervical cancer screening, from 19% in 2008 to 50% in 2013. When compared with national and local cervical cancer screening trends, BHCHP surpassed improvement rates seen in other vulnerable populations. Simple and innovative interventions proved to be the most effective and practical methods of improving screening.

However, the recruitment of multiple diagnoses presents many challenges to the traditional design of psychotherapy randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Objective: The goal of the manuscript is to present the challenges and rationale for designing a RCT for transdiagnostic treatment to inform and aid in the development of future investigations. Methods: A recently funded and ongoing RCT for Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy (TBT) is used as an example to discuss the related design challenges. The TBT study involves the recruitment of 96 veteran participants with any of the following eight principal diagnoses: posttraumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobia, major depressive disorder, or persistent depressive disorder. Within the TBT study, participants will complete a semi-structured diagnostic interview and a series of transdiagnostic self-report measures to determine eligibility and assess baseline symptomatology. Qualifying participants will be randomized to TBT or control psychotherapy. Additional assessments will be completed at post-treatment and 6-month follow-up. Conclusions: Due to the transdiagnostic nature of the sample, adjustments to the recruitment and randomization procedures, selection of measures, selection of control psychotherapy, and analysis plan were required. These adjustments have implications to future trials on transdiagnostic psychotherapy protocols as well as future research in line with the transdiagnostic focus of the National Institute of Mental Health's Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) funding strategy.

TI Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery or Medical Management in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM LA English DT Article ID BARIATRIC SURGERY; BYPASS-SURGERY; OBESE-PATIENTS; LIFE-STYLE; FOLLOW-UP; MELLITUS; WEIGHT; REDUCTION; MORTALITY; THERAPY AB Context: Recommendations for surgical, compared with lifestyle and pharmacologically based, approaches for type 2 diabetes (T2D) management remain controversial. Objective: The objective was to compare laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) to an intensive medical diabetes and weight management (IMWM) program for T2D. Design: This was designed as a prospective, randomized clinical trial. Setting: The setting was two Harvard Medical School-affiliated academic institutions. Interventions and Participants: A 12-month randomized trial comparing LAGB (n = 23) vs IMWM (n = 22) in persons aged 21-65 years with body mass index of 30-45 kg/m(2), T2D diagnosed more than 1 year earlier, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) >= 6.5% on antihyperglycemic medication(s). Main Outcome Measure: The proportion meeting the prespecified primary glycemic endpoint, defined as HbA(1c) < 6.5% and fasting glucose < 7.0 mmol/L at 12 months, on or off medication. Results: After randomization, five participants did not undergo the surgical intervention. Of the 40 initiating intervention (22 males/18 females; age, 51 +/- 10 y; bodymassindex, 36.5 +/- 3.7kg/m(2); diabetes duration, 9 +/- 5 y; HbA(1c), 8.2 +/- 1.2%; 40% on insulin), the proportion meeting the primary glycemic endpoint was achieved in 33% of the LAGB patients and 23% of the IMWM patients (P = .457). HbA(1c) reduction was similar between groups at both 3 and 12 months (-1.2 +/- 0.3 vs -1.0 +/- 0.3%; P = .496). Weight loss was similar at 3 months but greater 12 months after LAGB (-13.5 +/- 1.7 vs -8.5 +/- 1.6 kg; P = .027). Systolic blood pressure reduction was greater after IMWM than LAGB, whereas changes in diastolic blood pressure, lipids, fitness, and cardiovascular risk scores were similar between groups. Patient-reported health status, assessed using the Short Form-36, Impact of Weight on Quality of Life, and Problem Areas in Diabetes, all improved similarly between groups. Conclusions: LAGB and a multidisciplinary IMWM program have similar 1-year benefits on diabetes control, cardiometabolic risk, and patient satisfaction, which should be considered in the context of other factors, such as personal preference, when selecting treatment options with obese T2D patients. Longer duration studies are important to understand emergent differences.

TI Comparative Resistance to Teriparatide-Induced Bone Resorption With Denosumab or Alendronate SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM LA English DT Article ID PARATHYROID-HORMONE; POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN; MINERAL DENSITY; OSTEOPOROSIS; ACTIVATION; MEN; PTH AB Context: In postmenopausal osteoporotic women, denosumab fully inhibits teriparatide-induced bone resorption at approved doses. This property of denosumab is distinct from that of alendronate and likely contributes to the efficacy of combination denosumab and teriparatide therapy. Whether denosumab fully inhibits bone resorption when challenged by a higher dose of teriparatide is unknown. Objective: We aimed to define the comparative ability of denosumab and alendronate to block the acute proresorptive effects of high-dose teriparatide. Design, Setting, and Participants: In this randomized controlled trial, bone resorption (serum C-telopeptide [CTX]) wasmeasured in 25 postmenopausal women prior to and 4 hours after a single 40-mu g sc teriparatide injection. Subjects then received either a single injection of denosumab 60 mg or oral alendronate 70 mg weekly for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, serum CTX was again measured before and 4 hours after a teriparatide a 40-mu g injection. Outcomes: The primary outcome was the between-group difference in the teriparatide-induced change in CTX from baseline to week 8. Results: At baseline, 40 mu g of teriparatide induced similar 4-hour increases in mean CTX in both groups (alendronate 47% +/- 14%, denosumab 46% +/- 16%). After 8 weeks, teriparatide was still able to stimulate bone resorption in women treated with alendronate (mean CTX increase of 43% +/- 29%) but not in women treated with denosumab (-7% (+/-) 11%; P < .001 for between group comparison). Conclusions: Denosumab, but not alendronate, fully inhibits the ability of high-dose teriparatide to increase bone resorption acutely. These results suggest that combining denosumab with a more potent anabolic stimulus may result in greater separation between bone resorption and formation and hence greater increases in bone mass.

Davis, Dawn Belt TI Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Regulates Cholecystokinin Production in beta-Cells to Protect From Apoptosis SO MOLECULAR ENDOCRINOLOGY LA English DT Article ID FAT-FED MICE; INSULIN-SECRETION; PANCREATIC-ISLETS; RECEPTOR; GLP-1; GENE; MASS; TRANSCRIPTION; ACTIVATION; HORMONES AB Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a classic gut hormone that is also expressed in the pancreatic islet, where it is highly up-regulated with obesity. Loss of CCK results in increased beta-cell apoptosis in obese mice. Similarly, islet alpha-cells produce increased amounts of another gut peptide, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), in response to cytokine and nutrient stimulation. GLP-1 also protects beta-cells from apoptosis via cAMP-mediated mechanisms. Therefore, we hypothesized that the activation of islet-derived CCK and GLP-1 may be linked. We show here that both human and mouse islets secrete active GLP-1 as a function of body mass index/obesity. Furthermore, GLP-1 can rapidly stimulate beta-cell CCK production and secretion through direct targeting by the cAMP-modulated transcription factor, cAMP response element binding protein (CREB). We find that cAMP-mediated signaling is required for Cck expression, but CCK regulation by cAMP does not require stimulatory levels of glucose or insulin secretion. We also show that CREB directly targets the Cck promoter in islets from obese (Leptin(ob/ob)) mice. Finally, we demonstrate that the ability of GLP-1 to protect beta-cells from cytokine-induced apoptosis is partially dependent on CCK receptor signaling. Taken together, our work suggests that in obesity, active GLP-1 produced in the islet stimulates CCK production and secretion in a paracrine manner via cAMP and CREB. This intraislet incretin loop may be one mechanism whereby GLP-1 protects beta-cells from apoptosis.

It is evolutionarily conserved in the central nervous systems of a wide variety of species from locust to human. The depolarization spreads slowly at a rate of only millimeters per minute by way of grey matter contiguity, irrespective of functional or vascular divisions, and lasts up to a minute in otherwise normal tissue. As such, SD is a radically different breed of electrophysiological activity compared with everyday neural activity, such as action potentials and synaptic transmission. Seventy years after its discovery by Leao, the mechanisms of SD and its profound metabolic and hemodynamic effects are still debated. What we did learn of consequence, however, is that SD plays a central role in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases including migraine, ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. An intriguing overlap among them is that they are all neurovascular disorders. Therefore, the interplay between neurons and vascular elements is critical for our understanding of the impact of this homeostatic breakdown in patients. The challenges of translating experimental data into human pathophysiology notwithstanding, this review provides a detailed account of bidirectional interactions between brain parenchyma and the cerebral vasculature during SD and puts this in the context of neurovascular diseases.

In addition, the authors sought to investigate how well the measure correlates with an expanded battery of cognitive tests and other measures of functional abilities. Of the 320 participants included in this study, 85 were normal controls, 96 had single-domain or multiple-domain amnestic MCI, and 139 had possible or probable Alzheimer disease (AD). Each participant underwent a thorough cognitive, neurological, and physical examination. Results from this study indicated that the DSRS total scores differed significantly between the 3 groups (P<0.001) and accurately identified 81% of the control group, 60% of the MCI group, and 78% of the AD group in a post hoc discriminant analysis. When combined with a brief cognitive measure (ie, Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Word List 5 min recall test), the DSRS accurately identified 98% of the control group, 76% of the MCI group, and 82% of the AD group. Implications for clinical practice and proposed areas of future research are discussed. C1 [Mitchell, Joel C.; Wood, Amanda E.; Tapp, Andre M.] VA Puget Sound Hlth Care Syst, Seattle, WA 98108 USA.

Objectives.-To review 4 common diagnostic dilemmas encountered in the practice of pancreatobiliary pathology: (1) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma versus chronic pancreatitis; (2) pancreatic ductal carcinoma versus adenocarcinomas arising in the ampulla and intrapancreatic common bile duct; (3) the distinction of uncommon intraductal neoplasms-intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm, intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm, and intraductal acinar cell carcinoma; and (4) intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma versus metastatic carcinoma. Data Sources.-A review of pertinent literature, along with the authors' personal experience, based on institutional and consultation materials. Conclusions.-Important diagnostic features for a few challenging problems in pancreatobiliary pathology are reviewed. Careful study of the microscopic features along with awareness of differential diagnoses and diagnostic pitfalls generally allows distinction of these entities. We also highlight established and novel ancillary studies that help to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.

TI Design of a Genomics Curriculum Competencies for Practicing Pathologists SO ARCHIVES OF PATHOLOGY & LABORATORY MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID ESSENTIAL-NURSING-COMPETENCES; PERSONALIZED MEDICINE; GENETICS; ASSOCIATION; RESIDENTS; AGENDA; ERA AB Context.-The field of genomics is rapidly impacting medical care across specialties. To help guide test utilization and interpretation, pathologists must be knowledgeable about genomic techniques and their clinical utility. The technology allowing timely generation of genomic data is relatively new to patient care and the clinical laboratory, and therefore, many currently practicing pathologists have been trained without any molecular or genomics exposure. Furthermore, the exposure that current and recent trainees receive in this field remains inconsistent. Objective.-To assess pathologists' learning needs in genomics and to develop a curriculum to address these educational needs. Design.-A working group formed by the College of American Pathologists developed an initial list of genomics competencies (knowledge and skills statements) that a practicing pathologist needs to be successful. Experts in genomics were then surveyed to rate the importance of each competency. These data were used to create a final list of prioritized competencies. A subset of the working group defined subtopics and tasks for each competency. Appropriate delivery methods for the educational material were also proposed. Results.-A final list of 32 genomics competency statements was developed. A prioritized curriculum was created with designated subtopics and tasks associated with each competency. Conclusions.-We present a genomics curriculum designed as a first step toward providing practicing pathologists with the competencies needed to practice successfully.

TI Sensory Neurons Arouse C. elegans Locomotion via Both Glutamate and Neuropeptide Release SO PLOS GENETICS LA English DT Article ID SLEEP-LIKE STATE; NEMATODE CAENORHABDITIS-ELEGANS; BEHAVIORAL QUIESCENCE; NERVOUS-SYSTEM; SOCIAL-BEHAVIOR; RECEPTOR; CIRCUIT; HOMOLOG; UNC-13; NMDA AB C. elegans undergoes periods of behavioral quiescence during larval molts (termed lethargus) and as adults. Little is known about the circuit mechanisms that establish these quiescent states. Lethargus and adult locomotion quiescence is dramatically reduced in mutants lacking the neuropeptide receptor NPR-1. Here, we show that the aroused locomotion of npr-1 mutants results from the exaggerated activity in multiple classes of sensory neurons, including nociceptive (ASH), touch sensitive (ALM and PLM), and stretch sensing (DVA) neurons. These sensory neurons accelerate locomotion via both neuropeptide and glutamate release. The relative contribution of these sensory neurons to arousal differs between larval molts and adults. Our results suggest that a broad network of sensory neurons dictates transitions between aroused and quiescent behavioral states.

Pan, Weijun TI TopBP1 Governs Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells Survival in Zebrafish Definitive Hematopoiesis SO PLOS GENETICS LA English DT Article ID DNA-DAMAGE RESPONSE; REPLICATION CHECKPOINT CONTROL; BONE-MARROW FAILURE; BLOOD STEM-CELLS; TRANSGENIC ZEBRAFISH; AORTIC ENDOTHELIUM; GENOME INTEGRITY; PROGENITOR CELLS; FANCONI-ANEMIA; ATR ACTIVATION AB In vertebrate definitive hematopoiesis, nascent hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) migrate to and reside in proliferative hematopoietic microenvironment for transitory expansion. In this process, well-established DNA damage response pathways are vital to resolve the replication stress, which is deleterious for genome stability and cell survival. However, the detailed mechanism on the response and repair of the replication stress-induced DNA damage during hematopoietic progenitor expansion remains elusive. Here we report that a novel zebrafish mutant(cas003) with nonsense mutation in topbp1 gene encoding topoisomerase II beta binding protein 1 (TopBP1) exhibits severe definitive hematopoiesis failure. Homozygous topbp1(cas003) mutants manifest reduced number of HSPCs during definitive hematopoietic cell expansion, without affecting the formation and migration of HSPCs. Moreover, HSPCs in the caudal hematopoietic tissue (an equivalent of the fetal liver in mammals) in topbp1(cas003) mutant embryos are more sensitive to hydroxyurea (HU) treatment. Mechanistically, subcellular mislocalization of TopBP1(cas003) protein results in ATR/Chk1 activation failure and DNA damage accumulation in HSPCs, and eventually induces the p53-dependent apoptosis of HSPCs. Collectively, this study demonstrates a novel and vital role of TopBP1 in the maintenance of HSPCs genome integrity and survival during hematopoietic progenitor expansion.

Kuo, Braden TI Rectosigmoid Localization of Radiopaque Markers Does Not Correlate with Prolonged Balloon Expulsion in Chronic Constipation: Results from a Multicenter Cohort SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF GASTROENTEROLOGY LA English DT Article ID PELVIC FLOOR DYSSYNERGIA; COLONIC MOTILITY; IDIOPATHIC CONSTIPATION; TRANSIT CONSTIPATION; ANORECTAL MANOMETRY; CLINICAL-PRACTICE; CONTROLLED-TRIAL; BIOFEEDBACK; DISORDERS; REPRODUCIBILITY AB OBJECTIVES: Ingestion of radiopaque markers (ROMs) is a common means of assessing colonic transit time in chronic constipation. Because anorectal manometry (ARM) testing for pelvic floor dysfunction is mostly limited to academic centers, clinicians frequently use rectosigmoid accumulation of markers as a surrogate for pelvic floor dysfunction. We sought to determine whether rectosigmoid localization of markers on a ROM study correlated with measures of pelvic floor dysfunction by ARM and balloon expulsion testing. METHODS: We assembled a multicenter, retrospective cohort of patients diagnosed with chronic constipation who underwent both transit testing by ROM transit testing and ARM with balloon expulsion testing. We compared the proportion of patients with outlet obstruction by rectoanal pressure gradient or prolonged balloon expulsion stratified by marker location. RESULTS: There were 610 patients with both ROM testing and ARM with balloon expulsion testing. The mean age was 44 years and 526 were women (86%). Eighty-one (13%) patients had markers confined to the rectosigmoid area alone and were compared with 529 patients with markers elsewhere (51%) or no retained markers (49%). Of those with markers confined to the rectosigmoid colon, 48 (59%) had a prolonged balloon expulsion compared with 276 (52%) who did not have rectosigmoid markers (P = 0.28). The mean rectoanal gradient for patients with markers in the rectosigmoid colon was -29 +/- 46 mm Hg compared with -34 +/- 59 mm Hg for all others (P = 0.59). CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with chronic constipation undergoing ROM transit testing, there is no association between rectosigmoid location of markers and rectoanal gradient or prolonged balloon expulsion.

The aim of the study was to test whether such inverse associations applied to other inflammatory diseases of the colon. METHODS: In a case-control study among 130,204 patients undergoing colonoscopy for the work-up of diarrhea, we compared the prevalence of colon polyps in a case population of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), microscopic colitis, histologic signs of active colitis, diverticulitis, or ischemic colitis, and in a control population with normal colon mucosa. Case and control subjects were compared using odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS: In 11,176 patients with microscopic colitis, the prevalence of hyperplastic polyps, serrated adenomas, and tubular adenomas were all reduced: odds ratios= 0.46 (95% confidence intervals= 0.43-0.49), 0.24 (0.19-0.30), and 0.35 (0.33-0.38), respectively. In 4,435 patients with IBD, the corresponding values were: 0.18 (0.15-0.21), 0.24 (0.16-0.35), and 0.18 (0.15-0.21), respectively. In 6,501 patients with histologically active colitis, the corresponding values were: 0.58 (0.53-0.63), 0.57 (0.46-0.70), and 0.63 (0.58-0.68), respectively. No such consistent reduction in polyp prevalence was found in patients with diverticulitis or ischemic colitis. CONCLUSIONS: Chronic inflammatory conditions of the colon are associated with a decreased prevalence of colon polyps. C1 [Sonnenberg, Amnon; Genta, Robert M.] Miraca Life Sci, Irving, TX USA.

Surgical resection is considered because of the risk of hemorrhage in 25% and of malignant transformation in 5% of patients with HCA. HCA is a heterogeneous disease comprising 3 subtypes with distinct molecular and complication profiles. The inflammatory or telangiectatic subtype is at increased risk for hemorrhage, the 13-catenin-activated subtype is at increased risk for malignant transformation, and the hepatocyte nuclear factor-la-inactivated or steatotic subtype is at the least risk for complications. One-third of the patients with HCA have multiple tumors on imaging with no increased risk of complications. Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice for the diagnosis and subtype characterization of HCA. Systematic resection of H CA is recommended in male patients owing to the higher incidence of malignant transformation, and surgical excision in women should be reserved for tumors 5 cm or larger associated with an increased risk of complications. Cessation of hormonal therapy and radiologic surveillance in women with HCA tumors smaller than 5 cm shows that the vast majority of HCA remain stable or undergo spontaneous regression. Percutaneous core needle biopsy is of limited value because the therapeutic strategy is based primarily on patient sex and tumor size. Transarterial embolization is the initial treatment for HCA complicated by hemorrhage. Pregnancy should not be discouraged in the presence of HCA, however, frequent sonographic surveillance is recommended.

We used a standardized, validated, data collection tool to evaluate learning curves and measure competency in EUS among trainees at multiple centers. METHODS: In a prospective study performed at 15 centers, 17 trainees with no prior EUS experience were evaluated by experienced attending endosonographers at the 25th and then every 10th upper EUS examination, over a 12-month training period. A standardized data collection form was used (using a 5-point scoring system) to grade the EUS examination. Cumulative sum analysis was applied to produce a learning curve for each trainee; it tracked the overall performance based on median scores at different stations and also at each station. Competency was defined by a median score of 1, with acceptable and unacceptable failure rates of 10% and 20%, respectively. RESULTS: Twelve trainees were included in the final analysis. Each of the trainees performed 265 to 540 EUS examinations (total, 4257 examinations). There was a large amount of variation in their learning curves: 2 trainees crossed the threshold for acceptable performance (at cases 225 and 245), 2 trainees had a trend toward acceptable performance (after 289 and 355 cases) but required continued observation, and 8 trainees needed additional training and observation. Similar results were observed at individual stations. CONCLUSIONS: A specific case load does not ensure competency in EUS; 225 cases should be considered the minimum caseload for training because we found that no trainee achieved competency before this point. Ongoing training should be provided for trainees until competency is confirmed using objective measures.

The optic nerve disorders most commonly encountered clinically are glaucoma and primary optic neuropathy including Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and autosomal dominant or Kjer's optic atrophy. Current knowledge of the genetics of optic neuropathy and glaucoma makes it possible to test for mutations in disease-causing genes allowing for presymptomatic testing and risk assessment, and recent advances have revealed important disease mechanisms that may suggest potential therapeutic targets. In this perspective, we describe the current approaches and limitations to genetic testing for these disorders and provide an update on the development of gene-based therapies.

Subsequently, somatostatin was found to be widely distributed throughout the brain and to exert pleiotropic actions via interaction with five somatostatin receptors (sst(1-5)) that are also widely expressed throughout the brain. Interestingly, in contrast to the predominantly inhibitory actions of peripheral somatostatin, the activation of brain sst(2) signaling by intracerebroventricular injection of stable somatostatin agonists potently stimulates food intake and independently, drinking behavior in rodents. The orexigenic response involves downstream orexin-1, neuropeptide Y-1 and mu receptor signaling while the dipsogenic effect is mediated through the activation of the brain angiotensin 1 receptor. Brain sst2 activation is part of mechanisms underlying the stimulation of feeding and more prominently water intake in the dark phase and is able to counteract the anorexic response to visceral stressors.

TI The Effects of Parenteral Amino Acid Therapy on Protein Carbamylation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients SO JOURNAL OF RENAL NUTRITION LA English DT Article ID STAGE RENAL-DISEASE; KIDNEY-DISEASE; NUTRITION; MORTALITY; KINETICS; OUTCOMES; FAILURE; UREMIA AB Objective: Protein carbamylation is a urea-driven post-translational protein modification associated with mortality in dialysis patients. Free amino acids (AAs) are competitive inhibitors of protein carbamylation and animal studies suggest increasing AA concentrations reduces carbamylation burden. We hypothesized that AA therapy in maintenance hemodialysis patients would reduce carbamylation, carrying the potential to improve clinical outcomes. Design: Prospective pilot clinical trial (NCT1612429). Setting: The study was conducted from March 2013 to March 2014 in outpatient dialysis facilities in the Boston metropolitan area. Subjects and Intervention: We enrolled 23 consecutively consenting hemodialysis subjects, infusing the first 12 individuals with 250 cc of AAs 3 times per week postdialysis over 8 weeks. The remaining 11 subjects served as controls. Main Outcome Measure: Change in carbamylated albumin (C-Alb), a measure of total body carbamylation burden, between baseline and 8 weeks was the primary outcome. Results: The treated and control groups had similar clinical characteristics and similar baseline C-Alb levels (mean +/- SE 9.5 +/- 2.4 and 9.3 +/- 1.3 mmol/mol, respectively; P = .61). The treated arm showed a significant reduction in C-Alb compared with controls at 4 weeks (8.4% reduction in the treated arm vs. 4.3% increase in controls; P = .03) and the effect was greater by 8 weeks (15% reduction in the treated vs. 1% decrease in controls; P = .01). Conclusion: In this pilot study, AA therapy appeared safe and effective at reducing C-Alb levels in hemodialysis patients compared with no treatment. The impact of reduced protein carbamylation on clinical outcomes should be further investigated. (C) 2015 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Early defibrillation is key to successful resuscitation for patients who experience shockable rhythms during a cardiac arrest. It is therefore vital that the shock advisory of AEDs (automated external defibrillators) or defibrillators in AED mode be reliable and appropriate. The goal of this study was to better understand the performance of multiple lay-rescuer and hospital professional defibrillators in AED mode in their analysis of ventricular arrhythmias. The measurable objectives of this study sought to quantify: 1. No shock advisory for sinus rhythms at any rate. 2. Recognition and shock advisory for ventricular fibrillation (VF). 3. Recognition and shock advisory for monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). 4. Recognition and shock advisory for Torsades de Pointes (TdP). Methods: This is a prospective evaluation of two AEDs and four semi-automatic, hospital professional defibrillators. This study represents post-marketing evaluation of FDA approved devices. Each defibrillator was connected to multiple rhythm simulators and presented with simulated ECG waveforms 20 consecutive times at various rates when possible. Results: All four defibrillators and both AEDs tested consistently recognized normal sinus rhythm (NSR) from all rhythm sources, and did not recommend a shock for NSR at any rate (from 80 to 220 bpm). All four defibrillators and both AEDs recognized VF from all rhythm sources tested and recommended a shock 100% of the time. Variations were found in the shock advisory rates among defibrillators when testing simulated VT heart rates at or below 150 bpm. One AED tested did not consistently advise a shock for monomorphic VT or TdP at any tested rate. Conclusion: Lay-rescuer AEDs and professional hospital defibrillators tested in AED mode did not reliably recommend a shock for sustained monomorphic VT or TdP at certain rates, despite the fact that it is a critical component of the currently recommended treatment. These findings require further examination of the risk benefit analysis of shocking or not shocking rhythms such as TdP or pulseless VT. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Addition of inhibitors of GSK3 and MEK (so-called 2i conditions) pushes ESC cultures toward a more homogeneous naive pluripotent state, but the molecular underpinnings of this naive transition are not completely understood. Here, we demonstrate that DAZL, an RNA-binding protein known to play a key role in germ-cell development, marks a subpopulation of ESCs that is actively transitioning toward naive pluripotency. Moreover, DAZL plays an essential role in the active reprogramming of cytosine methylation. We demonstrate that DAZL associates with mRNA of Tet1, a catalyst of 5-hydroxylation of methyl-cytosine, and enhances Tet1 mRNA translation. Overexpression of DAZL in heterogeneous ESC cultures results in elevated TET1 protein levels as well as increased global hydroxymethylation. Conversely, null mutation of Dazl severely stunts 2i-mediated TET1 induction and hydroxymethylation. Our results provide insight into the regulation of the acquisition of naive pluripotency and demonstrate that DAZL enhances TET1-mediated cytosine hydroxymethylation in ESCs that are actively reprogramming to a pluripotent ground state.

Targeting this abnormal tumor vasculature is a promising therapeutic strategy, but results with antiangiogenic drugs in brain cancer have been mixed. Vasculature's response to treatment is a dynamic physiological process that can change rapidly throughout treatment, so it requires noninvasive techniques to serially monitor these changes in order to improve outcome. We review the role of vascular magnetic resonance imaging to measure tumor response to treatment and highlight opportunities and future avenues for expanding these promising techniques.

TI N,N-Dimethyltryptamine-Induced Psychosis SO CLINICAL NEUROPHARMACOLOGY LA English DT Review DE DMT; Cannabis; hallucinogen; substance-induced psychosis; quetiapine ID PHARMACOKINETICS; AYAHUASCA; HUMANS; ABUSE AB Background: N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A and 1A receptor agonist that exhibits potent psychoactive properties in humans. Recreational use of this drug has increased precipitously and is likely to result in an increase in patients presenting with substance-induced psychoses. The present case provides an early example of substance-induced psychosis attributable to repeated use of DMT. Case: A 42-year-old white man, with no significant past psychiatric history, was brought to the emergency department by the police and was found to exhibit disinhibited behavior, elevated affect, disorganized thought process, and delusions of reference. Laboratory studies revealed elevated creatinine kinase level indicative of rhabdomyolysis. The patient endorsed recent and repeated use of DMT, as well as long-term Cannabis (marijuana) use. Over the course of the next 3 weeks, the patient was successfully treated with quetiapine for psychosis, divalproex sodium (Depakote) for impulsivity, gabapentin for anxiety, and hydroxyzine for sleep, which resulted in the resolution of his symptoms and development of reasonable insight and judgment. Approximately 6 months after discharge, the patient remained treatment compliant, as well as drug and symptom free. Conclusions: This case report illustrates an important example of substance-induced psychosis that resolved with antipsychotic treatment in a 42-year-old white man with no past psychiatric history likely attributable to the use of DMT. Given the increasing use of this substance, the emergency department, primary care, and inpatient services are likely to see a significant increase in similar cases. C1 [Paterson, Neil E.; Darby, W.

Over the last 40 years, the evolution of chemotherapeutic options and the addition of the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab have improved response rates significantly. Obinutuzumab, a next generation CD20 antibody, continues that evolution. Areas covered: In this review, we discuss the pre-clinical and recent clinical experiences with obintuzumab and discuss its potential future role in the management of CLL as well as the interest in combining this next generation CD20 antibody with B-cell receptor pathway inhibitors. Obinutuzumab has a number of modifications that increase its efficacy relative to rituximab resulting in improved antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and direct cell death. These biological attributes have translated into improved clinical responses. The clinical superiority of obinutuzumab relative to rituximab is best demonstrated in the CLL11 trial. In this randomized Phase III trial, for patients requiring upfront CLL treatment, the combination of obinutuzumab and chlorambucil was found to result in improved response and progression-free survival relative to the combination of rituximab and chlorambucil. Expert opinion: Obinutuzumab has clear pre-clinical and clinical superiority to rituximab and will be a central agent in the evolving management of CLL.

Methods: An estimated 388,676 inpatients with a proximal humerus fracture were identified in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2002 and 2011, 331 with concomitant axillary artery injury (8.5 per 10,000). Multivariable regression modelling was used to identify independent predictors of axillary artery injury and to assess its relationship with inpatient outcomes. Results: Factors associated with axillary artery injury were male sex (odds ratio (OR): 1.6, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2-2.0), atherosclerosis (OR: 3.7, 95% CI: 2.5-5.4), open fracture (OR: 2.9, 95% CI: 1.9-4.5) and the presence of concomitant injuries, including brachial plexus injury (OR: 109, 95% CI: 79-151), shoulder dislocation (OR: 3.4, 95% CI: 2.0-5.8), scapula fracture (OR: 3.4, 95% CI: 2.1-5.4) and rib fracture (OR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.6-4.0). Axillary artery injury was associated with increased length of stay, costs and mortality, but it did not affect discharge disposition. Conclusion: Our study provides important baseline information regarding the epidemiology of axillary artery injury secondary to proximal humerus fracture. Prompt identification of at-risk patients upon admission might lead to improved diagnosis and management of this vascular injury. Level of Evidence: Prognostic level II. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

This complication was not recognised until reduction of the column fracture. There were no preoperative signs or symptoms indicative of a vascular injury. These cases emphasise the heightened awareness one must have when treating widely displaced posterior column fractures of the acetabulum, especially those fractures with extension into the greater sciatic notch, as previously formed clot can become dislodged and hemostasis lost. We also present management options when this complication occurs. We believe any surgeon treating acetabular fractures should be aware of this serious and potentially fatal complication.

Herein we summarize recent advances and controversies in our understanding of the biology and therapy of these disorders, as discussed at the 8th post-American Society of Hematology CML-MPN workshop. The principal areas addressed include the breakthrough discovery of CALR mutations in patients with JAK2/MPL wild type MPN, candidate therapies based on novel genetic findings in leukemic transformation and new therapeutic targets in MPNs, and an appraisal of bone marrow histopathology in MPNs with a focus on the potential new clinical entity of "masked" polycythemia vera. An update on clinical trials of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors is presented as well as current understanding regarding the definitions and mechanisms of resistance to JAK inhibitors, and updated information on the safety and efficacy of discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with CML.

Tools and databases, such as NetworKIN and PhosphoSitePlus, provide valuable regulatory details on signaling networks but rely on prior knowledge. They therefore provide limited information on less studied kinases and fewer unexpected relationships given that better studied signaling events can mask condition-or cell-specific 'network wiring'. SELPHI is a web-based tool providing in-depth analysis of phospho-proteomics data that is intuitive and accessible to non-bioinformatics experts. It uses correlation analysis of phospho-sites to extract kinase/phosphatase and phospho-peptide associations, and highlights the potential flow of signaling in the system under study. We illustrate SELPHI via analysis of phospho-proteomics data acquired in the presence of erlotinib-a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-in cancer cells expressing TKIresistant and -sensitive variants of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor. In this data set, SELPHI revealed information overlooked by the reporting study, including the known role of MET and EPHA2 kinases in conferring resistance to erlotinib in TKI sensitive strains. SELPHI can significantly enhance the analysis of phospho-proteomics data contributing to improved understanding of sample-specific signaling networks.

In species that no longer require a specific protein complex or pathway, these proteins, as a group, tend to be lost or diverge. Analysis of the similarity in patterns of sequence conservation across a large set of eukaryotes can predict functional associations between different proteins, identify new pathway members and reveal the function of previously uncharacterized proteins. We used normalized phylogenetic profiling to predict protein function and identify new pathway members and disease genes. The phylogenetic profiles of tens of thousands conserved proteins in the human, mouse, Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila genomes can be queried on our new web server, PhyloGene. PhyloGene provides intuitive and user-friendly platform to query the patterns of conservation across 86 animal, fungal, plant and protist genomes. A protein query can be submitted either by selecting the name from whole-genome protein sets of the intensively studied species or by entering a protein sequence. The graphic output shows the profile of sequence conservation for the query and the most similar phylogenetic profiles for the proteins in the genome of choice. The user can also download this output in numerical form. C1 [Sadreyev, Ilyas R.; Ji, Fei; Ruvkun, Gary] Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Dept Mol Biol, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

TI Marmoset induced pluripotent stem cells: Robust neural differentiation following pretreatment with dimethyl sulfoxide SO STEM CELL RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID BIOMEDICAL-RESEARCH; LINES; BIOLOGY AB The marmoset is an important nonhuman primate model for regenerative medicine. For experimental autologous cell therapy based on induced pluripotent (iPS) cells in the marmoset, cells must be able to undergo robust and reliable directed differentiation that will not require customization for each specific iPS cell clone. When marmoset iPS cells were aggregated in a hanging drop format for 3 days, followed by exposure to dual SMAD inhibitors and retinoic acid in monolayer culture for 3 days, we found substantial variability in the response of different iPS cell clones. However, when clones were pretreated with 0.05-2% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 24 hours, all clones showed a very similar maximal response to the directed differentiation scheme. Peak responses were observed at 0.5% DMSO in two clones and at 1% DMSO in a third clone. When patterns of gene expression were examined by microarray analysis, hierarchical clustering showed very similar responses in all 3 clones when they were pretreated with optimal DMSO concentrations. The change in phenotype following exposure to DMSO and the 6 day hanging drop/monolayer treatment was confirmed by immunocytochemistry. Analysis of DNA content in DMSO-exposed cells indicated that it is unlikely that DMSO acts by causing cells to exit from the cell cycle. This approach should be generally valuable in the directed neural differentiation of pluripotent cells for experimental cell therapy. Published by Elsevier B.V.

In vitro migration assays were used to determine the role of trefoil factor (TFF) -1 and 2 in cell migration. Proliferative activity in the pancreatic epithelium in response to inflammatory injury is identified principally within the PDG compartment. These proliferating cells then migrate out of the PDG compartment to populate the pancreatic duct. Most of the pancreatic epithelial migration occurs within 5 days and relies, in part, on TFF-1 and -2. After migration, PDG cells lose their PDG-specific markers and gain a more mature pancreatic ductal phenotype. Expression analysis of the PDG epithelium reveals enrichment of embryonic and stem cell pathways. These results suggest that PDGs are an epithelial progenitor compartment that gives rise to mature differentiated progeny that migrate to the pancreatic duct. Thus PDGs are a progenitor niche important for pancreatic epithelial regeneration. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Methods: A health science research implementation team coordinated with ED stakeholders and staff to provide training, implementation guidelines, and support to launch ED registered nurse administered HIV oral rapid testing. Deidentified quantitative data were gathered from the electronic medical records detailing quarterly HIV rapid test rates in the Ell setting spanning the first 5 years. Comprehensive cost analyses were conducted to evaluate the financial impact of this implementation. Results: At 5 years, a total of 2,620 tests were conducted with a quarterly mean of 131 +/- 81. Despite quarterly variability in testing rates, regression analysis revealed an average increase of 3.58 tests per quarter. Over the course of this implementation, Veterans Health Administration policy transitioned from written to verbal consent for HIV testing, serving to reduce the time and cost(s) associated with the testing process. Conclusions: Our data indicated salient health outcome benefits for patients with respect to the potential for earlier detection, and associated long-run cost savings.

TI Application of a Novel Brain Arteriovenous Malformation Endovascular Grading Scale for Transarterial Embolization SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEURORADIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID MULTIMODALITY TREATMENT; ONYX EMBOLIZATION; RANDOMIZED-TRIAL; COMPLICATIONS; SYSTEM; MANAGEMENT; FISTULAS; AVMS AB BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The advent of modern neuroendovascular techniques has highlighted the need for a simple, effective, and reliable brain arteriovenous malformation endovascular grading scale. A novel scale of this type has recently been described. It incorporates the number of feeding arteries, eloquence, and the presence of an arteriovenous fistula component. Our aim is to assess the validity of this grading scale. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all suspected brain arteriovenous malformations at Massachusetts General Hospital from 2005 to 2013, identifying 126 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Spearman correlations between endovascular and Spetzler-Martin grading scales and long-term outcomes were performed. Median endovascular grades were compared between treatment modalities and endovascular outcomes. Binary regression analysis was performed with major endovascular complications as a dichotomized dependent variable. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated for interobserver reliability of the endovascular grading scale. RESULTS: A significant Spearman correlation between the endovascular grade and the Spetzler-Martin grade was demonstrated (rho = 0.5, P < .01). Differences in the median endovascular grades between the endovascular cure (median = 2) and endovascular complication groups (median = 4) (P < .05) and between the endovascular cure and successful multimodal treatment groups (median = 3) (P < .05) were demonstrated. The endovascular grade was the only independent predictor of complications (OR = 0.5, P < .01). The intraclass correlation coefficient of the endovascular grade was 0.71 (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Validation of a brain arteriovenous malformation endovascular grading scale demonstrated that endovascular grades of = age 65 who presented to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute between 2006 and 2011 and completed a baseline quality of life questionnaire. Questions corresponding to functional status and symptoms and extracted clinical-pathologic data from medical records. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate survival. Results: One hundred fourteen patients consented and were available for analysis. Median age was 73 years, and the majority of patients were White, were male, and had a Charlson comorbidity score of <2. Few patients (24%) had an IPSS score consistent with lower-risk disease and the majority received chemotherapy. In addition to IPSS score and history of prior chemotherapy or radiation, significant univariate predictors of survival included low serum albumin, Charlson score, performance status, ability to take a long walk, and interference of physical symptoms in family life. The multivariate model that best predicted mortality included low serum albumin (HR = 2.3; 95% CI: 1.06-5.14), therapy-related MDS (HR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.16-4.24), IPSS score (HR = 1.7; 95% CI: 1.14-2.49), and ease taking a long walk (HR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.23-0.90). Conclusions: In this study of older adults with MDS, we found that low serum albumin and physical function added important prognostic information to the IPSS score. Self-reported physical function was more predictive than physician-assigned performance status. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Fega, K. Rebecca] Univ Arizona, Coll Med Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ USA.

The current study describes longitudinal changes in quality of life among a multimorbid cohort of US Veterans diagnosed and treated for colorectal cancer. Materials and Methods: A sample of 68 multimorbid adults with colon and/or rectal cancer who received one or more treatment options (surgery, chemo or radiation therapy) was recruited. Participants were not excluded by cancer stage unless they reported being in hospice or similar status. Comprehensive assessments of quality of life and treatment side-effects were conducted 6, 12, and 18 months after diagnosis. Descriptive statistics characterized treatment side-effects and changes in quality-of-life domains longitudinally. Multivariate Analysis of Variance identified sociodemographic and clinical variables associated with quality of life changes. Results: Many physical symptoms improved from 6 to 18 months following diagnosis, while some remained stable. Sexual symptoms worsened, attributable to increasing rates of dysfunction in older patients. Low education attainment was predictive of worse physical symptoms (F = 5.59, p = .023) and associated with body concerns (F = 5.7; p = .005) over time. Advanced cancer stage (F = 4.94; p < .04) and receipt of chemotherapy (F = 4.21; p < .05) independently predicted body concerns in multivariate analyses. Conclusion: Endorsement of physical and sexual symptoms and body concerns occurs in different patterns over time among multimorbid colorectal cancer survivors. Low education attainment is consistently associated with physical symptoms and body concerns. Cancer stage and chemotherapy are predictive of body concerns, but not physical or sexual symptoms.

Given that the cognitive model of OCD focuses upon the assumptions and belief systems (e.g., threat perception) that underlie the misinterpretation of unwanted intrusions, CT employs cognitive strategies, such as behavioral experiments, to modify maladaptive interpretations and produce symptom reduction. We outline how to prepare for behavioral experiments through psychoeducation and empirically supported assessment procedures. Next, we describe how to operationalize the behavioral experiment and propose patient and therapist-related behaviors that will facilitate (or interfere with) the experiment's success. Lastly, we discuss how to process the findings of the behavioral experiment by integrating other CT strategies, such as calculation of harm and the downward arrow, to consolidate learning and ultimately strengthen and generalize skills use.

A few occupational and environmental exposures have also been associated with reduced olfactory function, although the effects of long term environmental exposure to lead on olfactory dysfunction have not been explored. Here we performed olfactory recognition testing in elderly men in a community-dwelling cohort and examined the association with cumulative lead exposure, as assessed by lead in tibial and patellar bone. Methods: Olfactory recognition was measured in 165 men from the Normative Aging Study (NAS) who had previously taken part in bone lead measurements using K-X-ray fluorescence (KXRF). Olfactory recognition was measured using the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). Associations between olfactory recognition, global cognition and cumulative lead exposure were estimated using linear regression, with additional adjustment for age, smoking, and functional polymorphism status for hemochromatosis (HFE), transferrin (TfC2), glutathione-s-transferase Pi1 (GSTP1) and apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes. Sensitivity analyses explored olfactory recognition in men with high global cognitive function as measured using the Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE). Results: The average age of the NAS participants at the time of olfactory recognition testing was 80.3 (standard deviation or SD = 5.7) years. Mean tibia lead was 16.3 (SD = 12.0) mu g/g bone, mean patella lead was 22.4 (SD = 14.4) mu g/g bone, and mean UPSIT score was 26.9 out of 40 (SD = 7.0). Consistent with previous findings, age at olfaction testing was negatively associated with UPSIT score. Tibia (but not patella) bone lead was negatively associated with olfaction recognition (per 15 mu g/g tibia lead: beta = -1.57; 95% CI: -2.93, -0.22; p = 0.02) in models adjusted for smoking and age. Additional adjustment for education did not significantly change results. Of all the genes explored, only the presence of one or more HFE variant alleles was significantly associated with olfaction recognition (HFE beta = 2.26; 95% CI: 0.09, 4.43; p = 0.04). In a model containing the HFE term and a lead term, the tibia lead parameter estimate dropped by 21% (per 15 mu g/g tibia lead: beta = -1.25; 95% CI: -2.64, 0.14; p = 0.08) while the HFE term dropped 15% (beta = 1.91; 95% CI: -0.28, 4.10; p = 0.09). None of the other gene terms were associated with olfactory recognition in this cohort, nor were any gene-lead interaction terms significant. Additional sensitivity analysis in men with MMSE scores of 25 or higher (n = 149) showed a similar but slightly attenuated association between lead and olfactory recognition (per 15 mu g/g tibia lead beta = -1.39; 95% CI: -3.00, 0.22; p = 0.09). Conclusion: Cumulative exposure to lead is associated with reduced olfactory recognition in a cohort of elderly men. The association was similar but not significant in men with better cognitive function as measured by the MMSE. Iron metabolism gene status may also affect olfactory function. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

TI Reasons Low-Income Parents Offer Snacks to Children: How Feeding Rationale Influences Snack Frequency and Adherence to Dietary Recommendations SO NUTRIENTS LA English DT Article DE snacks; parenting; childhood obesity prevention; child feeding ID DEMONSTRATION MA-CORD; CHILDHOOD OBESITY; YOUNG-CHILDREN; WEIGHT STATUS; FOOD-HABITS; PREVENTION; MASSACHUSETTS; OVERWEIGHT; ASSOCIATION; PERCEPTIONS AB Although American children snack more than ever before, the parental role in promoting snacking is not well understood. In 2012-2013 at baseline in an intervention study to prevent childhood obesity in low-income Massachusetts communities, n = 271 parents of children aged 2-12 years completed surveys regarding nutritive and non-nutritive reasons they offered children snacks, demographics, and dietary factors. An analysis of variance demonstrated that parents reported offering snacks (mean/week; standard deviation (SD)) for nutritive reasons like promoting growth (x = 2.5; SD 2.2) or satisfying hunger (x = 2.4; SD 2.1) almost twice as often as non-nutritive reasons like keeping a child quiet (x = 0.7; SD 1.5) or celebrating events/holidays (x = 0.8; SD 1.1). Parents reported giving young children (2-5 years) more snacks to reward behavior (1.9 vs. 1.1, p < 0.001), keep quiet (1.0 vs. 0.5, p < 0.001), and celebrate achievements (1.7 vs. 1.0, p < 0.001) than parents of older children (6-12 years). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to obtain adjusted odds ratios, which indicated reduced child adherence to dietary recommendations when parents offered snacks to reward behavior (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.83; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.70-0.99), celebrate events/holidays (OR = 0.72; 95% CI 0.52-0.99), or achievements (OR = 0.82; 95% CI 0.68-0.98). Parental intentions around child snacking are likely important targets for obesity prevention efforts.

We assessed a range of vaccine doses based on the OSP content of the vaccine (10-50 mu g), vaccine compositions varying by molar loading ratio of OSP to rTTHc (3:1, 5:1, 10:1), effect of an adjuvant, and route of immunization. Principle Findings Immunized mice developed prominent anti-OSP and anti-TT serum IgG responses, as well as vibriocidal antibody and memory B cell responses following intramuscular or intradermal vaccination. Mice did not develop anti-squarate responses. Intestinal lamina proprial IgA responses targeting OSP occurred following intradermal vaccination. In general, we found comparable immune responses in mice immunized with these variations, although memory B cell and vibriocidal responses were blunted in mice receiving the highest dose of vaccine (50 mu g). We found no appreciable change in immune responses when the conjugate vaccine was administered in the presence or absence of immunoadjuvant alum. Administration of OSP:rTTHc resulted in 55% protective efficacy in a mouse survival cholera challenge model. Conclusion We report development of an Inaba OSP:rTTHc conjugate vaccine that induces memory responses and protection against cholera in mice. Development of an effective cholera conjugate vaccine that induces high level and long-term immune responses against OSP would be beneficial, especially in young children who respond poorly to polysaccharide antigens.

Materials and Methods: Institutional review board approval was acquired for this HIPAA-compliant study. Informed consent was waived. Review of the institutional database identified 2324 breast MR examinations performed in women from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2010. Breast MR imaging reports were reviewed for extramammary findings. Extramammary findings were categorized by using the computed tomography (CT) colonography reporting and data system (C-RADS). The electronic medical record was reviewed for each patient with a C-RADS category E3 and E4 finding to assess clinical relevance and pathologic outcome. If an E3 or E4 finding was previously described and evaluated, the finding was downgraded and assigned a final C-RADS E2 category. The cost of additional imaging was estimated by using the Medicare physician fee schedule. Statistical significance was assessed by using chi(2) statistics. A P value less than.05 indicated statistical significance, and 95% exact confidence intervals (CIs) were constructed. Results: Extramammary findings were identified in 391 of 2324 breast MR examinations (16.8%), which included 105 patients (4.5%) with E3 or E4 findings. Of the 2324 patients, 86 patients (3.7% [95% CI: 3.0%, 4.5%]) were recommended to undergo further imaging. After undergoing evaluation for additional imaging, a clinically important finding was found in nine patients (0.4% [95% CI: 0.2%, 0.7%]). Most frequently, hepatic lesions were the indication for additional imaging. Abdominal MR examinations accounted for 55% of costs related to additional imaging. Averaged across the entire cohort, further imaging evaluation and follow-up of incidental findings contributed an additional $16 to each breast MR imaging performed. Conclusion: Additional imaging evaluation for E3 and E4 extramammary findings at breast MR imaging can identify clinically important disease without substantially increasing cost.

These may include traditional addictions and so called "behavioral addictions," although prevalence data on the latter have not been published. The objective of this study was to establish the prevalence of addictive behaviors in adults after RYGB. Methods: Participants from a large observational study of bariatric surgery who had undergone RYGB were recruited to complete additional measures. Of 241 consented participants, 201 provided data (i.e., Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I [SCID], additional Impulsive Control Disorder Modules, and various self-report measures, including the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test [AUDIT]) to assess status before surgery and in the first 3 postoperative years. Results: Based on the SCID, 16 (8.0%) developed alcohol use disorder [AUD] within 3 years post-RYGB, 7 (43.8%) of whom had no history of AUD. When both the SOD and AUDIT were used to identify AUD, the corresponding numbers/percentages were 32 (18.4%) and 13 (40.6%). Data on other behavioral addictive disorders indicated 19 (9.5%) had a postsurgery disorder, 6 (31.6%) of whom had no history. Conclusion: These data add to a growing literature suggesting there is a substantial risk for the development of AUD after bariatric surgery. Understanding the risk for nondrug-related addictive disorders requires more data from larger studies before clear conclusions can be drawn.

However, the roles of lncRNAs in advanced gastric cancer during the process of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are not well understood. A high-throughput microarray analysis was performed to compare the expression profiles of lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in AGC serum samples during the process of CRS+HIPEC. Several potentially AGC-associated lncRNAs were verified by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Using abundant and varied probes, we were able to assess 33,045 lncRNAs and 30,215 mRNAs in our microarray. We found that 566 lncRNAs were differentially expressed (2-fold change) in AGC serum samples, indicating the significantly up-or down-regulated lncRNAs play important roles in AGC during the process of CRS+HIPEC. Quantitative PCR results further verified that eight lncRNAs were aberrantly expressed in AGC serum samples after CRS+HIEC compared with matched serum sample before CRS+HIPEC. Among them, BC031243 and RP11-356I2.2 were the most aberrantly expressed lncRNAs, as estimated by quantitative PCR in six pairs of AGC serum samples. Our study demonstrated the expression patterns of lncRNAs in AGC serums before and after CRS+HIPEC by microarray. These results revealed that lncRNAs were differentially expressed during the process of CRS+HIPEC, suggesting that they might play key roles in tumor development.

TI Ghrelin Prevents Cisplatin-Induced Testicular Damage by Facilitating Repair of DNA Double Strand Breaks Through Activation of p53 in Mice SO BIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION LA English DT Article DE GHSR; growth hormone secretagogue; infertility; testis ID HORMONE SECRETAGOGUE RECEPTOR; GERM-CELL CANCER; RAT TESTIS; C57/BL/6J MICE; MESSENGER-RNA; MOUSE TESTIS; FOOD-INTAKE; CHEMOTHERAPY; EXPRESSION; APOPTOSIS AB Cisplatin administration induces DNA damage resulting in germ cell apoptosis and subsequent testicular atrophy. Although 50 percent of male cancer patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy develop long-term secondary infertility, medical treatment to prevent spermatogenic failure after chemotherapy is not available. Under normal conditions, testicular p53 promotes cell cycle arrest, which allows time for DNA repair and reshuffling during meiosis. However, its role in the setting of cisplatin-induced infertility has not been studied. Ghrelin administration ameliorates the spermatogenic failure that follows cisplatin administration in mice, but the mechanisms mediating these effects have not been well established. The aim of the current study was to characterize the mechanisms of ghrelin and p53 action in the testis after cisplatin-induced testicular damage. Here we show that cisplatin induces germ cell damage through inhibition of p53-dependent DNA repair mechanisms involving gamma-H2AX and ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein kinase. As a result, testicular weight and sperm count and motility were decreased with an associated increase in sperm DNA damage. Ghrelin administration prevented these sequelae by restoring the normal expression of gamma-H2AX, ataxia telangiectasia mutated, and p53, which in turn allows repair of DNA double stranded breaks. In conclusion, these findings indicate that ghrelin has the potential to prevent or diminish infertility caused by cisplatin and other chemotherapeutic agents by restoring p53-dependent DNA repair mechanisms.

TI Heterogeneity Underlies the Emergence of EGFR(T790) Wild-Type Clones Following Treatment of T790M-Positive Cancers with a Third-Generation EGFR Inhibitor SO CANCER DISCOVERY LA English DT Article ID CELL LUNG-CANCER; TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITORS; ACQUIRED-RESISTANCE; INTRATUMOR HETEROGENEITY; DRUG-COMBINATIONS; MET AMPLIFICATION; MUTATIONS; GEFITINIB; TUMORS; ADENOCARCINOMAS AB Rociletinib is a third-generation EGFR inhibitor active in lung cancers with T790M, the gatekeeper mutation underlying most first-generation EGFR drug resistance. We biopsied patients at rociletinib progression to explore resistance mechanisms. Among 12 patients with T790M-positive cancers at rociletinib initiation, six had T790-wild-type rociletinib-resistant biopsies. Two T790-wild-type cancers underwent small cell lung cancer transformation; three T790M-positive cancers acquired EGFR amplification. We documented T790-wild-type and T790M-positive clones coexisting within a single pre-rociletinib biopsy. The pretreatment fraction of T790M-positive cells affected response to rociletinib. Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis revealed an increase in plasma EGFR-activating mutation, and T790M heralded rociletinib resistance in some patients, whereas in others the activating mutation increased but T790M remained suppressed. Together, these findings demonstrate the role of tumor heterogeneity when therapies targeting a singular resistance mechanism are used. To further improve outcomes, combination regimens that also target T790-wild-type clones are required. SIGNIFICANCE: This report documents that half of T790M-positive EGFR-mutant lung cancers treated with rociletinib are T790-wild-type upon progression, suggesting that T790-wild-type clones can emerge as the dominant source of resistance. We show that tumor heterogeneity has important clinical implications and that plasma ctDNA analyses can sometimes predict emerging resistance mechanisms. (C) 2015 AACR.

TI Targeting neddylation induces DNA damage and checkpoint activation and sensitizes chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells to alkylating agents SO CELL DEATH & DISEASE LA English DT Article ID NEDD8-ACTIVATING ENZYME-INHIBITOR; PHASE-II TRIAL; S-PHASE; UBIQUITIN LIGASES; CANCER-CELLS; CLL CELLS; MLN4924; BENDAMUSTINE; APOPTOSIS; PROLIFERATION AB Microenvironment-mediated upregulation of the B-cell receptor (BCR) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) signaling in CLL cells resident in the lymph node and bone marrow promotes apoptosis evasion and clonal expansion. We recently reported that MLN4924 (pevonedistat), an investigational agent that inhibits the NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE), abrogates stromal-mediated NF-kappa B pathway activity and CLL cell survival. However, the NAE pathway also assists degradation of multiple other substrates. MLN4924 has been shown to induce DNA damage and cell cycle arrest, but the importance of this mechanism in primary neoplastic B cells has not been studied. Here we mimicked the lymph node microenvironment using CD40 ligand (CD40L)-expressing stroma and interleukin-21 (IL-21) to find that inducing proliferation of the primary CLL cells conferred enhanced sensitivity to NAE inhibition. Treatment of the CD40-stimulated CLL cells with MLN4924 resulted in deregulation of Cdt1, a DNA replication licensing factor, and cell cycle inhibitors p21 and p27. This led to DNA damage, checkpoint activation and G2 arrest. Alkylating agents bendamustine and chlorambucil enhanced MLN4924-mediated DNA damage and apoptosis. These events were more prominent in cells stimulated with IL-21 compared with CD40L alone, indicating that, following NAE inhibition, the culture conditions were able to direct CLL cell fate from an NF-kappa B inhibition to a Cdt1 induction program. Our data provide insight into the biological consequences of targeting NAE in CLL and serves as further rationale for studying the clinical activity of MLN4924 in CLL, particularly in combination with alkylating agents.

TI An Internet-Mediated Pedometer-Based Program Improves Health-Related Quality-of-Life Domains and Daily Step Counts in COPD A Randomized Controlled Trial SO CHEST LA English DT Article ID OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY-DISEASE; CHRONIC LUNG-DISEASE; PHYSICAL-ACTIVITY; WALKING PROGRAM; ONLINE COMMUNITY; US COHORT; REHABILITATION; MAINTENANCE; TIOTROPIUM; MORTALITY AB BACKGROUND: Low levels of physical activity (PA) are associated with poor outcomes in people with COPD. Interventions to increase PA could improve outcomes. METHODS: We tested the efficacy of a novel Internet-mediated, pedometer-based exercise intervention. Veterans with COPD (N = 239) were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the (1) intervention group (Omron HJ-720 ITC pedometer and Internet-mediated program) or (2) wait-list control group (pedometer). The primary outcome was health-related quality of life (HRQL), assessed by the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), at 4 months. We examined the SGRQ total score (SGRQ-TS) and three domain scores: Symptoms, Activities, and Impact. The secondary outcome was daily step counts. Linear regression models assessed the effect of intervention on outcomes. RESULTS: Participants had a mean age of 67 +/- 9 years, and 94% were men. There was no significant between-group difference in mean 4-month SGRQ-TS (2.3 units, P = .14). Nevertheless, a significantly greater proportion of intervention participants than control subjects had at least a 4-unit improvement in SGRQ-TS, the minimum clinically important difference (53% vs 39%, respectively, P = .05). For domain scores, the intervention group had a lower (reflecting better HRQL) mean than the control group by 4.6 units for Symptoms (P = .046) and by 3.3 units for Impact (P = .049). There was no significant difference in Activities score between the two groups. Compared with the control subjects, intervention participants walked 779 more steps per day at 4 months (P - .005). CONCLUSIONS: An Internet-mediated, pedometer-based walking program can improve domains of HRQL and daily step counts at 4 months in people with COPD.

In 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services approved a plan to enhance resident safety by reducing HAIs in nursing homes, with particular emphasis on reducing indwelling catheter use and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Lessons learned from a recent multimodal Targeted Infection Prevention program in a group of nursing homes as well as a national initiative to prevent CAUTI in over 950 acute care hospitals called "On the CUSP: STOP CAUTI" will now be implemented in nearly 500 nursing homes in all 50 states through a project funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). This "AHRQ Safety Program in Long-Term Care: HAIs/CAUTI" will emphasize professional development in catheter utilization, catheter care and maintenance, and antimicrobial stewardship as well as promoting patient safety culture, team building, and leadership engagement. We anticipate that an approach integrating technical and socio-adaptive principles will serve as a model for future initiatives to reduce other infections, multidrug resistant organisms, and noninfectious adverse events among nursing home residents.

TI Future clinical trials in DIPG: bringing epigenetics to the clinic SO FRONTIERS IN ONCOLOGY LA English DT Review DE DIPG; epigenetics; clinical trials; children ID INTRINSIC PONTINE GLIOMA; ACTIVATING ACVR1 MUTATIONS; CANCER; THERAPY; INHIBITION; SUBGROUPS AB In spite of major recent advances in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) molecular characterization, this body of knowledge has not yet translated into better treatments. To date, more than 250 clinical trials evaluating radiotherapy along with conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy as well as newer biologic agents have failed to improve the dismal outcome when compared to palliative radiation alone. The biology of DIPG remained unknown until recently when the neurosurgical expertise along with the recognition by the scientific and clinical community of the importance of tissue sampling at diagnosis; ideally, in the context of a clinical trial and by trained neurosurgical teams to maximize patient safety. These pre-treatment tumor samples, and others coming from tissue obtained post-mortem, have yielded new insights into DIPG molecular pathogenesis. We now know that DIPG comprises a heterogeneous disease with variable molecular phenotypes, different from adult high-grade glioma, other non-pontine pediatric high-grade gliomas, and even between pontine gliomas. The discovery of histone H3.3 or H3.1 mutations has been an important step forward in understanding tumor formation, maintenance, and progression. Pharmacologic reversal of DIPG histone demethylation therefore offers an important potential intervention strategy for the treatment of DIPG. To date, clinical trials of newly diagnosed or progressive DIPG with epigenetic (histone) modifiers have been unsuccessful. Whether this failure represents limited activity of the agents used, their CNS penetration, redundant pathways within the tumor, or the possibility that histone mutations are necessary only to initiate DIPGs but not maintain their growth, suggest that a great deal still needs to be elucidated in both the underlying biology of these pathways and the drugs designed to target them. In this review, we will discuss the role of both epigenetic and genetic mutations within DIPG and the development of treatment strategies directed against the unique abnormalities present in this disease.

TI Disclosure of HIV Status to Perinatally Infected Adolescents in Urban Uganda: A Qualitative Study on Timing, Process, and Outcomes SO JANAC-JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF NURSES IN AIDS CARE LA English DT Article DE adolescents; Africa; children; HIV care; infectious diseases; pediatrics ID HEALTH-CARE; CHILDREN; ZIMBABWE AB Disclosure of HIV status to children and adolescents living with HIV remains a challenge in pediatric HIV care. Many of the current disclosure guidelines from national and international bodies recommend that perinatally infected children be informed of their HIV status prior to adolescence, but rates of disclosure in both high- and low-income countries remains low. The applicability of the recommendations to low-income countries remains largely unknown, as few studies have explored the disclosure process in these settings. Our purpose was to explore disclosure experiences of HIV-infected adolescents in Uganda. Disclosure was a largely one-time event conducted by health care providers. The average age at disclosure was 13 years. Disclosure elicited a diverse array of positive and negative reactions, including suicidal ideation; reactions were closely associated with participant age, gender, knowledge about HIV, and health status at time of disclosure. Interventions to promote locally effective, process-oriented approaches to early disclosure are needed.

In this proof-of-concept study, real-time biofeedback is incorporated into a smartphone-based platform that records and processes neck surface acceleration. The focus is on utilizing aerodynamic measures of vocal function as a basis for biofeedback. This is done using regressed Z-scores to compare recorded values to normative estimates based on sound pressure level and fundamental frequency. Initial results from the analysis of different voice qualities suggest that accelerometer-based estimates of aerodynamic parameters can be used for real-time ambulatory biofeedback.

TI Effects of vocal fold epithelium removal on vibration in an excised human larynx model SO JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID PHONATION THRESHOLD PRESSURE AB This study investigated the impact of selective epithelial injury on phonation in an excised human larynx apparatus. With intact epithelium, the vocal folds exhibited a symmetrical vibration pattern with complete glottal closure during vibration. The epithelium was then enzymatically removed from one, then both vocal folds, which led to left-right asymmetric vibration and a decreased closed quotient. Although the mechanisms underlying these vibratory changes are unclear, these results demonstrate that some component of an intact surface layer may play an important role in achieving normal symmetric vibration and glottal closure.

Discussion: For two decades, research has been ongoing to identify new behavioural and biomedical strategies to prevent HIV infection. In the past few years, the efficacy of several new strategies has been demonstrated, including oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP; i.e. daily use of tenofovir/emtricitabine). Because several social, political and logistic barriers remain, however, optimal PrEP implementation will require a better dissemination of new evidence in a number of areas and additional implementation research from various disciplinary perspectives (i.e. social science, policy and ethics; health systems; and economics, including cost-effectiveness studies). Discussion of new evidence on those topics, as well as case studies of potential PrEP implementation in diverse environments, can improve the understanding of the role that PrEP may play in addressing the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. In light of these needs, the Network for Multidisciplinary Studies in ARV-based HIV Prevention (NEMUS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) were honoured to co-organize a special issue of JIAS aimed at contributing to a scholarly discussion of current conditions surrounding PrEP implementation, potential impact and efficiency, social science concerns and the study of PrEP implementation in specific country cases. The papers included in this monograph identify and cover many of the main aspects of the complex yet promising discussions around PrEP implementation today. Conclusions: This is a collection of timely contributions from global leaders in HIV research and policy that addresses geographic diversity, uses a trans-disciplinary approach and covers a variety of the complex issues raised by PrEP. As this publication will become accessible to all, we hope that it will remain a valuable resource for policy makers, programme managers, researchers and activists around the world at a moment of a paradigm shift of the global response to HIV.

TI D2HGDH regulates alpha-ketoglutarate levels and dioxygenase function by modulating IDH2 SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID B-CELL LYMPHOMA; D-2-HYDROXYGLUTARIC ACIDURIA; L-2-HYDROXYGLUTARATE DEHYDROGENASE; GENETIC-HETEROGENEITY; TUMOR-CELLS; MUTATIONS; CANCER; 2-HYDROXYGLUTARATE; ONCOMETABOLITE; PATHWAY AB Isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDH) convert isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG). In cancer, mutant IDH1/2 reduces alpha-KG to D2-hydroxyglutarate (D2-HG) disrupting alpha-KG-dependent dioxygenases. However, the physiological relevance of controlling the interconversion of D2-HG into alpha-KG, mediated by D2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (D2HGDH), remains obscure. Here we show that wild-type D2HGDH elevates alpha-KG levels, influencing histone and DNA methylation, and HIF1 alpha hydroxylation. Conversely, the D2HGDH mutants that we find in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are enzymatically inert. D2-HG is a low-abundance metabolite, but we show that it can meaningfully elevate alpha-KG levels by positively modulating mitochondrial IDH activity and inducing IDH2 expression. Accordingly, genetic depletion of IDH2 abrogates D2HGDH effects, whereas ectopic IDH2 rescues D2HGDH-deficient cells. Our data link D2HGDH to cancer and describe an additional role for the enzyme: the regulation of IDH2 activity and alpha-KG-mediated epigenetic remodelling. These data further expose the intricacies of mitochondrial metabolism and inform on the pathogenesis of D2HGDH-deficient diseases.

TI Redefining the concept of protease-activated receptors: cathepsin S evokes itch via activation of Mrgprs SO NATURE COMMUNICATIONS LA English DT Article ID MOLECULAR-CLONING; ATOPIC-DERMATITIS; PAIN; MECHANISM; GPCRS; HYPERALGESIA; PSORIASIS; PRURITUS; PEPTIDE; NEURONS AB Sensory neurons expressing Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptors (Mrgprs) mediate histamine-independent itch. We show that the cysteine protease cathepsin S activates MrgprC11 and evokes receptor-dependent scratching in mice. In contrast to its activation of conventional protease-activated receptors, cathepsin S-mediated activation of MrgprC11 did not involve the generation of a tethered ligand. We demonstrate further that different cysteine proteases selectively activate specific mouse and human Mrgpr family members. This expansion of our understanding by which proteases interact with G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) redefines the concept of what constitutes a protease-activated receptor. The findings also implicate proteases as ligands to members of this orphan receptor family while providing new insights into how cysteine proteases contribute to itch.

TI LOOKING INTO FUTURE: CHALLENGES IN RADIATION PROTECTION IN MEDICINE SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article ID COMPUTED-TOMOGRAPHY; CANCER-RISK; CT SCANS; EXPOSURE; TRACKING; CHILDHOOD AB Radiation protection in medicine is becoming more and more important with increasing wider use of X-rays, documentation of effects besides the potential for long-term carcinogenic effects. With computed tomography (CT) likely to become sub-mSv in coming years, positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and some of the nuclear medical examination will become focus of attraction as high-dose examinations, even though they are less-frequent ones. Clarity will be needed on radiation effects at levels of radiation doses encountered in a couple of CT scans and if effects are really cumulative. There is challenge to develop radiation metrics that can be used as easily as units of temperature and length and avoidance of multiple meaning of a single dose metric. Other challenges include development of biological indicators of radiation dose, transition from dose to a representative phantom to dose to individual patient, system for tracking of radiation exposure history of patient, avoidance of radiation-induced skin injury in patients and radiation cataract in staff, cutting down inappropriate referrals for radiological examinations, confidence building in patient and patient safety in radiotherapy.

TI RADIATION EFFECTS AND RISKS: OVERVIEW AND A NEW RISK PERCEPTION INDEX SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article AB Uncertainty provides opportunities for differences in perception, and radiation risks at low level of exposures involved in few computed tomography scans fall in this category. While there is good agreement among national and international organisations on risk probability of cancer, risk perception has barely been dealt with by these organisations. Risk perception is commonly defined as the subjective judgment that people make about the characteristics and severity of a risk. Severity and latency are important factors in perception. There is a need to connect all these. Leaving risk perception purely as a subjective judgement provides opportunities for people to amplifying risk. The author postulates a risk perception index as severity divided by latency that becomes determining factor for risk perception. It is hoped that this index will bring rationality in risk perception. C1 [Rehani, M. M.] Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Boston, MA 02114 USA. [Rehani, M. M.] Harvard Univ, Sch Med, Boston, MA USA.

TI TRACKING OF EXAMINATION AND DOSE: OVERVIEW SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article ID PATIENT EXPOSURE TRACKING; RADIATION-EXPOSURE; SMART CARD AB This paper reviews the developments in tracking of patient exposures and dose after the earlier paper published in the same journal in 2011. A global survey in which 76 countries responded indicated strong interest in programme and another survey among referring physicians showed vast majority (71.7 %) of physicians expressing that awareness of previous history of CT scans would always or mostly lead them to a better decision on referring patients for CT scans. A sizable number of countries have system of assigning permanent ID to individuals and nearly half of them use this ID in medical records. This can easily permit tracking of exposures. Templates for tracking at different levels of health care have been provided, and experience from a country where tracking is routinely practised has been published. C1 [Rehani, M.

TI DOSE SURVEYS AND DRLS: CRITICAL LOOK AND WAY FORWARD SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article AB The main purpose of dose surveys has been to detect and bring down wide variation in radiation doses for any particular radiological examination and to avoid doses that are on higher side. Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) have been used for over two decades as an aid in this objective. With very limited success that has been achieved through DRL, the author has recently described a new term 'acceptable quality dose' (AQD) that is aimed at optimisation within the DRL, is facility initiated and takes into account all three important parameters-image quality, dose and patient's body build. It is hoped that AQD will be found easy to establish, will be a useful tool to achieve optimisation in the facilities and will serve as the standard dose.

TI A STUDY TO ESTABLISH INTERNATIONAL DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVELS FOR PAEDIATRIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article ID RADIATION-EXPOSURE; LATIN-AMERICA; 40 COUNTRIES; CT EXPOSURE; IAEA SURVEY; RISK; CHILDREN; CANCER; EUROPE; ASIA AB The article reports from the largest international dose survey in paediatric computed tomography (CT) in 32 countries and proposes international diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in terms of computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP). It also assesses whether mean or median values of individual facilities should be used. A total of 6115 individual patient data were recorded among four age groups: <1 y, >1-5 y, >5-10 y and >10-15 y. CTDIw, CTDIvol and DLP from the CT console were recorded in dedicated forms together with patient data and technical parameters. Statistical analysis was performed, and international DRLs were established at rounded 75th percentile values of distribution of median values from all CT facilities. The study presents evidence in favour of using median rather than mean of patient dose indices as the representative of typical local dose in a facility, and for establishing DRLs as third quartile of median values. International DRLs were established for paediatric CT examinations for routine head, chest and abdomen in the four age groups. DRLs for CTDIvol are similar to the reference values from other published reports, with some differences for chest and abdomen CT. Higher variations were observed between DLP values, based on a survey of whole multi-phase exams. It may be noted that other studies in literature were based on single phase only. DRLs reported in this article can be used in countries without sufficient medical physics support to identify non-optimised practice. Recommendations to improve the accuracy and importance of future surveys are provided. C1 [Vassileva, J.] IAEA, A-1400 Vienna, Austria. [Rehani, M.] Harvard Univ, Sch Med, Boston, MA USA.

TI PATIENT GROUPING FOR DOSE SURVEYS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVELS IN PAEDIATRIC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article ID LATIN-AMERICA; 40 COUNTRIES; CT EXPOSURE; IAEA SURVEY; EUROPE; ASIA AB There has been confusion in literature on whether paediatric patients should be grouped according to age, weight or other parameters when dealing with dose surveys. The present work aims to suggest a pragmatic approach to achieve reasonable accuracy for performing patient dose surveys in countries with limited resources. The analysis is based on a subset of data collected within the IAEA survey of paediatric computed tomography (CT) doses, involving 82 CT facilities from 32 countries in Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America. Data for 6115 patients were collected, in 34.5 % of which data for weight were available. The present study suggests that using four age groups, <1, >1-5, >5-10 and >10-15 y, is realistic and pragmatic for dose surveys in less resourced countries and for the establishment of DRLs. To ensure relevant accuracy of results, data for >30 patients in a particular age group should be collected if patient weight is not known. If a smaller sample is used, patient weight should be recorded and the median weight in the sample should be within 5-10 % from the median weight of the sample for which the DRLs were established. Comparison of results from different surveys should always be performed with caution, taking into consideration the way of grouping of paediatric patients. Dose results can be corrected for differences in patient weight/age group. C1 [Vassileva, J.] IAEA, A-1400 Vienna, Austria. [Rehani, M.] Harvard Univ, Sch Med, Boston, MA USA.

TI EYE DOSE ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT: OVERVIEW SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article ID INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY; LENS DOSIMETRY; NUCLEAR-MEDICINE; RADIATION; POSITIONS; HOSPITALS; CATARACT; WORKERS AB Some publications have shown that Hp((0.07)) or even Hp((10)) can be used as good operational quantities for X-rays in view of difficulties with Hp(3). With increasing awareness, there is tendency to use whatever dosimeter is available with correction factor to estimate eye lens dose. The best position for an eye lens dosimeter has been reported to be at the side of the head nearest to the radiation source, close to the eye. Recent studies have reported eye doses with cone beam CT (CBCT) both for patients and staff, and there are many papers reporting eye lens doses to staff in nuclear medicine. To minimise the dose to eyes, the user can take advantage of a feature of CBCT of projections acquired over an angular span of 1808 plus cone angle of the X-ray tube and with tube under scan arcs.

TI ACA-Mandated Elimination of Cost Sharing for Preventive Screening Has Had Limited Early Impact SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MANAGED CARE LA English DT Article ID DIRECTED HEALTH PLANS; MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; MEDICATION ADHERENCE; COLONOSCOPY; COPAYMENTS; INSURANCE; SERVICES; CARE AB Objectives: The Affordable Care Act eliminated patient cost sharing for evidence-based preventive care, yet the impact of this policy on colonoscopy and mammography rates is unclear. We examined the elimination of cost sharing among small business beneficiaries of Humana, a large national insurer. Study Design: This was a retrospective interrupted time series analysis of whether the change in cost-sharing policy was associated with a change in screening utilization, using grandfathered plans as a comparison group. Methods: We compared beneficiaries in small business non-grandfathered plans that were required to eliminate cost sharing (intervention) with those in grandfathered plans that did not have to change cost sharing (control). There were 63,246 men and women aged 50 to 64 years eligible for colorectal cancer screening, and 30,802 women aged 50 to 64 years eligible for breast cancer screening. The primary outcome variables were rates of colonoscopy and mammography per person-month, with secondary analysis of colonoscopy rates coded as preventive only. Results: There was no significant change in the level or slope of colonoscopy and mammography utilization for intervention plans relative to the control plans. There was also no significant relevant change among those colonoscopies coded as preventive. Conclusions: The results suggest that the implementation of the policy is not having its intended effects, as cost sharing rates for colonoscopy and mammography did not change substantially, and utilization of colonoscopy and mammography changed little, following this new policy approach.

A Preliminary Investigation of the Relationship between Pleasant, Functional, and Social Activities and Outcome SO BEHAVIOURAL AND COGNITIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY LA English DT Article DE Behavioral activation; positive events; functional events; social events; depression; bereavement ID BECK DEPRESSION INVENTORY; COMPLICATED GRIEF; POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION; THERAPEUTIC EXPOSURE; COGNITIVE THERAPY; DAILY EVENTS; BEREAVEMENT; DISORDER; ADULTS; METAANALYSIS AB Background: Accumulating evidence supports behavioral activation (BA) as an effective stand-alone treatment for improving depression and related conditions, though little is known about the factors that influence positive outcomes. Such research is ripe for future dissemination and implementation efforts, particularly among vulnerable older adult populations in need of such efficacious and transportable treatments. Aims: Given the central but largely unexamined role that increasing activities plays in BA, we investigated the association between participation in weekly activities and treatment outcome. Method: As a preliminary study of this research question, we report on a sample of 20 older adults with symptoms of depression and complicated bereavement who completed 5 weeks of BA, pre-and posttreatment measures, and weekly planners of BA activities. All activities were coded as either functional or pleasurable (by participants) and if they were social in nature (by trained coders). Results: Overall, BA was associated with reductions in symptomatology. However, participants' total number of reported activities, and their relative proportion of functional, pleasurable, and social activities, did not significantly relate to their improvement in symptoms. Conclusion: One interpretation of the findings suggests that countering avoidance more generally, potentially independent of the specific type or total amount of activation activities, may be associated with amelioration of symptomatology.

These glycan structures form the "glycome" and play an integral role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions through modulation of adhesion and cell trafficking. Glycosylation is increasingly recognized as a modulator of the malignant phenotype of cancer cells, where the interaction between cells and the tumor micro-environment is altered to facilitate processes such as drug resistance and metastasis. Changes in glycosylation of cell surface adhesion molecules such as selectin ligands, integrins and mucins have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several solid and hematological malignancies, often with prognostic implications. In this review we focus on the functional significance of alterations in cancer cell glycosylation, in terms of cell adhesion, trafficking and the metastatic cascade and provide insights into the prognostic and therapeutic implications of recent findings in this fast-evolving niche.

In aggregate, the constellation of changes that accompany this process serve to facilitate athletic performance by minimizing the cardiac work inherent in athletic activity. Although several key determinants of athletic cardiac adaptation have been described, observed variability across athlete cohorts remains an incompletely understood area. Ongoing and future work are required to further understand this process and ultimately to determine where the boundary lies between adaptive physiology and maladaptive disease.

TI Ethnic differences in family member diabetes involvement and psychological outcomes: results from the second Diabetes Attitudes, Wishes and Needs (DAWN2) study in the USA SO CURRENT MEDICAL RESEARCH AND OPINION LA English DT Article DE DAWN2; Ethnic disparities; Psychological outcomes; Quality of life; Well-being ID QUALITY-OF-LIFE; DISEASE MANAGEMENT; EUROPEAN-AMERICAN; AFRICAN-AMERICAN; LATINO PATIENTS; CARE; PEOPLE AB Objective: To assess differences among USA ethnic groups in psychological status of adult family members (FMs) and their involvement with the diabetes of another adult. Research methods: Data are from the FM survey of the USA DAWN2 study, including 105 White non-Hispanics, 47 African Americans, 46 Hispanic Americans and 40 Chinese Americans. All FMs lived with and cared for an adult with diabetes. Analysis of covariance controlled for respondent and patient characteristics to assess ethnic group differences (P< 0.05). Multiple regression analyses identified significant (P<0.05) independent correlates of psychological outcomes. Main outcome measures: FM psychological outcomes measured include well-being, quality of life (QoL), impact of diabetes on life domains, diabetes distress, and burden. Clinical trial registration: NCT01507116. Results: White non-Hispanics reported less diabetes burden and distress, more negative life impact, and lower wellbeing than FMs from ethnic minority groups. African Americans reported the highest well-being and lowest negative life impact, Chinese Americans reported the most diabetes burden, Hispanic Americans reported the highest distress. There were no ethnic group differences in QoL. Ethnic minority FMs reported having more involvement with diabetes, greater support success, and more access to a diabetes support network than White non-Hispanics. Higher FM diabetes involvement was associated with negative psychological outcomes, while diabetes education, support success and diabetes support network size were associated with better psychological outcomes. Potential limitations are the sample sizes and representativeness. Conclusions: Minority ethnic FMs experienced both advantages and disadvantages in psychological outcomes relative to each other and to White non-Hispanics. Ethnic minority FMs had more involvement in diabetes care, support success and support from others, with the first associated with worse and the latter two with better psychological outcomes. Additional studies are needed with larger samples and broader representation of ethnic groups to better understand these associations and identify areas for intervention.

The tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib malate (Sutent*) is established as second-line treatment for the management of GIST after disease progression on, or intolerance to, first-line imatinib treatment. Several published reviews give guidance on management of side effects in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with sunitinib, but fewer publications cover side-effect management in patients with GIST. Scope: Using published articles and abstracts, prescribing information, and personal experience in managing patients with GIST at a specialized center of excellence for cancer care, I review side-effect management recommendations for patients with GIST treated with sunitinib and provide an overview of GIST. Findings: Sunitinib has a well described side-effect profile: most side effects occurring in patients with GIST can be easily managed by standard medical intervention and/or dose modification. Conclusion: Care of patients with GIST can be enhanced through communication, support, knowledge, and education, with the goal of providing effective therapy and optimal symptom control.

A qualitative grounded theory approach was used to explore Alzheimer's family caregivers' perspectives about issues that arise when their family members lose the ability to dress independently. Three focus groups and seven individual interviews were conducted and audio recorded with 25 information rich caregivers. Constant comparative analyses and coding of the transcripts identified six major themes leading to a Preservation of Self Model: Care Recipient to Care Giver' that portrays the caregiving trajectory. Initially, caregivers tried to protect the self dignity of the family member by maintaining usual routines and absorbing blame for difficulties. Dressing battles' occurred and caregivers learned management through trial and error. Crossing adult-child-gender role boundaries escalated discomfort. When facing unrelenting demands, concern shifted to preservation of the caregivers' health and self. Results suggest that caregivers would benefit from more pro-active dressing counseling to shorten the trial and error periods, dressing aids more relevant to dementia and more knowledgeable helpers. The preservation model can facilitate understanding of the caregiving trajectory and guide intervention support.

Despite plausible biological mechanisms and evidence from laboratory studies, findings from clinical research are conflicting. The objective of this study was to examine the association between PTSD and various cancer outcomes. This nation-wide cohort study included all Danish-born residents of Denmark from 1995 to 2011. The exposure was PTSD diagnoses (n = 4131). The main outcomes were cancer diagnoses including: (1) all malignant neoplasms; (2) hematologic malignancies; (3) immune-related cancers; (4) smoking- and alcohol-related cancers; (5) cancers at all other sites. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were calculated. Null associations were found between PTSD and nearly all cancer diagnoses examined, both overall [SIR for all cancers = 1.0, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 0.88, 1.2] and in analyses stratified by gender, age, substance abuse history and time since PTSD diagnosis. This study is the most comprehensive examination to date of PTSD as a predictor of many cancer types. Our data show no evidence of an association between PTSD and cancer in this nationwide cohort.

The purpose of this study was to examine women presenting clinically with second breast cancers after negative surveillance mammography (interval cancers), and to estimate the five-year risk of interval-invasive second cancers for women with varying risk profiles. Methods: We evaluated a prospective cohort of 15 114 women with 47 717 surveillance mammograms diagnosed with stage 0-II unilateral PBC from 1996 through 2008 at facilities in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium. We used discrete time survival models to estimate the association between odds of an interval-invasive second breast cancer and candidate predictors, including demographic, PBC, and imaging characteristics. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: The cumulative incidence of second breast cancers after five years was 54.4 per 1000 women, with 325 surveillance-detected and 138 interval-invasive second breast cancers. The five-year risk of interval-invasive second cancer for women with referent category characteristics was 0.60%. For women with the most and least favorable profiles, the five-year risk ranged from 0.07% to 6.11%. Multivariable modeling identified grade II PBC (odds ratio [OR] = 1.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15 to 3.31), treatment with lumpectomy without radiation (OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 1.91 to 5.62), interval PBC presentation (OR = 2.01, 95% CI 1.28 to 3.16), and heterogeneously dense breasts on mammography (OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.01 to 2.36) as independent predictors of interval-invasive second breast cancers. Conclusions: PBC diagnosis and treatment characteristics contribute to variation in subsequent-interval second breast cancer risk. Consideration of these factors may be useful in developing tailored post-treatment imaging surveillance plans.

Its optimal management remains largely undefined given a lack of prospective, randomized data to inform practice. We sought to describe modern practice patterns in the management of cN+ PCa and assess the effect of adding radiation therapy (RT) to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on survival using the National Cancer Data Base. Methods: Patients with cN+ PCa and without distant metastases diagnosed between 2004 and 2011 were included. Five-year overall survival for patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2006 and treated with ADT alone or ADT+RT were compared. Propensity score (PS) matching was used to balance baseline characteristics, and Cox multivariate regression analysis was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality. Results: Of 3540 total patients, 32.2% were treated with ADT alone and 51.4% received ADT+RT. Compared with ADT alone, patients treated with ADT+RT were younger and more likely to have private insurance, lower comorbidity scores, higher Gleason scores, and lower PSA values. After PS matching, 318 patients remained in each group. Compared with ADT alone, ADT+RT was associated with a 50% decreased risk of five-year all-cause mortality (HR = 0.50, 95% CI = 0.37 to 0.67, two-sided P < .001; crude OS rate: 71.5% vs 53.2%). Conclusions: Using a large national database, we have identified a statistically significant survival benefit for patients with cN+ PCa treated with ADT+RT. These data, if appropriately validated by randomized trials, suggest that a substantial proportion of such patients at high risk for prostate cancer death may be undertreated, warranting a reevaluation of current practice guidelines.

Paradoxically, new antibiotic discovery is declining, with most of the recently approved antibiotics corresponding to new uses for old antibiotics or structurally similar derivatives of known antibiotics. We used an in silico approach to design a new class of nontoxic antimicrobials for the bacteria-specific mechanosensitive ion channel of large conductance, MscL. One antimicrobial of this class, compound 10, is effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with no cytotoxicity in human cell lines at the therapeutic concentrations. As predicted from in silico modeling, we show that the mechanism of action of compound 10 is at least partly dependent on interactions with MscL. Moreover we show that compound 10 cured a methicillin-resistant S. aureus infection in the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Our work shows that compound 10, and other drugs that target MscL, are potentially important therapeutics against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

TI Assessment of Filtered Back Projection, Adaptive Statistical, and Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction for Reduced Dose Abdominal Computed Tomography SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTER ASSISTED TOMOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID CHEST CT; OPTIMIZATION; PROTECTION AB Purpose To compare standard of care and reduced dose (RD) abdominal computed tomography (CT) images reconstructed with filtered back projection (FBP), adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR), model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) techniques. Materials and Methods In an Institutional Review Board-approved, prospective clinical study, 28 patients (mean age 59 +/- 13 years ), undergoing clinically indicated routine abdominal CT on a 64-channel multi-detector CT scanner, gave written informed consent for acquisition of an additional RD (<1 milli-Sievert) abdomen CT series. Sinogram data of RD series were reconstructed with FBP, ASIR, and MBIR and compared with FBP images of standard dose abdomen CT. Two radiologists performed randomized, independent, and blinded comparison for lesion detection, lesion margin, visibility of normal structures, and diagnostic confidence. Results Mean CT dose index volume was 10 +/- 3.4 mGy and 1.3 +/- 0.3 mGy for standard and RD CT, respectively. There were 73 "true positive" lesions detected on standard of care CT. Nine lesions (<8 mm in size) were missed on RD abdominal CT images which included liver lesions, liver cysts, kidney cysts, and paracolonic abscess. These lesions were missed regardless of patient size and types of iterative reconstruction techniques used for reconstruction of RD data sets. The visibility of lesion margin was suboptimal in (23/28) patients with RD FBP, (15/28) patients with RD ASIR, and (14/28) patients with RD MBIR compared to standard of care FBP images (P < 0.001). Diagnostic confidence for the assessment of lesions on RD images was suboptimal in most patients regardless of iterative reconstruction techniques. Conclusions Clinically significant lesions (< 8 mm) can be missed on abdominal CT examinations acquired at a CT dose index volume of 1.3 mGy regardless of patients' size and reconstruction techniques (FBP, ASIR, and MBIR).

TI Ultralow-Dose Abdominal Computed Tomography: Comparison of 2 Iterative Reconstruction Techniques in a Prospective Clinical Study SO JOURNAL OF COMPUTER ASSISTED TOMOGRAPHY LA English DT Article ID FILTERED BACK-PROJECTION; IMAGE-QUALITY; RADIATION-EXPOSURE; CT ANGIOGRAPHY; LIVER PHANTOM; ALGORITHM; MDCT; FEASIBILITY; REDUCTION; SUMMIT AB Purpose To assess lesion detection and image quality of ultralow-dose (ULD) abdominal computed tomography (CT) reconstructed with filtered back projection (FBP) and 2 iterative reconstruction techniques: hybrid-based iDose, and image-based SafeCT. Materials and Methods In this institutional review board-approved ongoing prospective clinical study, 41 adult patients provided written informed consent for an additional ULD abdominal CT examination immediately after standard dose (SD) CT exam on a 256-slice multidetector computed tomography (iCT, Philips-Healthcare). The SD examination (size-specific dose estimate, 10 +/- 3 mGy) was performed at 120 kV with automatic exposure control, and reconstructed with FBP. The ULD examination (1.5 +/- 0.4 mGy) was performed at 120 kV and fixed tube current of 17 to 20 mAs/slice to achieve ULD radiation dose, with the rest of the scan parameters same as SD examination. The ULD data were reconstructed with (a) FBP, (b) iDose, and (c) SafeCT. Lesions were detected on ULD FBP series and compared to SD FBP "reference-standard" series. True lesions, pseudolesions, and missed lesions were recorded. Four abdominal radiologists independently blindly performed subjective image quality. Objective image quality included image noise calculation and noise spectral density plots. Results All true lesions (n, 52: liver metastases, renal cysts, diverticulosis) in SD FBP images were detected in ULD images. Although there were no missed or pseudolesions on ULD iDose and ULD SafeCT images, appearance of small low-contrast hepatic lesions was suboptimal. The ULD FBP images were unacceptable across all patients for both lesion detection and image quality. In patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m(2) or less, ULD iDose and ULD SafeCT images were acceptable for image quality that was close to SD FBP for both normal and abnormal abdominal and pelvic structures. With increasing BMI, the image quality of ULD images was deemed unacceptable due to photo starvation. Evaluation of kidney stones with ULD iDose/SafeCT images was found acceptable regardless of patient size. Image noise levels were significantly lower in ULD iDose and ULD SafeCT images compared to ULD FBP (P < 0.01). Conclusions Preliminary results show that ULD abdominal CT reconstructed with iterative reconstruction techniques is achievable in smaller patients (BMI <= 25 kg/m(2)) but remains a challenge for overweight to obese patients. Lesion detection is similar in full-dose SD FBP and ULD iDose/SafeCT images, with suboptimal visibility of low-contrast lesions in ULD images.

Methods In 20 patients with STSs, tumor texture parameters, which were measured on pretherapeutic CT using CT texture analysis software with the spatial scale filter extracting fine to coarse texture, were compared with microvessel density, plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble VEGF receptor-1, and overall survival (OS). Results Mean of positive pixels (MPP) showed a positive correlation with microvessel density (P = 0.02). Entropy at medium texture scales (spatial scale filter = 3, 4, 5) showed positive correlations with VEGF (P = 0.03, P = 0.009, and P = 0.02, respectively), and entropy without filtration showed a positive correlation with soluble VEGF receptor-1 (P = 0.02). In the univariate analysis, kurtosis at a medium texture scale and MPP showed significant correlations with OS (P = 0.04 and P = 0.007), and multivariate analysis demonstrated that MPP was an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.01). Conclusion Texture parameters are associated with tumor angiogenesis and OS in STS.

The diverse CF microbiota within the airway activates an aberrant immune response that is ineffective in clearing infection. An appreciation of how the CF host immune system interacts with these organisms is crucial to understanding the pathogenesis of CF pulmonary disease. Here we discuss the microbial complexity present in the lungs of individuals with CF, review emerging concepts of innate and adaptive immune responses to pathogens that chronically inhabit the CF lung, and discuss therapies that target the aberrant inflammatory response that characterizes CF. A greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms will shed light on pathogenesis and guide more targeted therapies in the future that serve to reduce infection, minimize lung pathology, and improve the quality of life for patients with CF.

Whether these improvements have had significant effects on bone health in patients with CF is unclear. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study comparing clinical characteristics and bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in adults with CF evaluated in 1995-1999 to age-, race-, and gender-matched patients with CF evaluated in 2011-2013 at the same center on calibrated DXA machines. Results: The cohorts were similar in terms of age, BM, pancreatic insufficiency, presence of F508del mutation, and reproductive history. In the most recent cohort, pulmonary function was superior; and fewer patients had vitamin D deficiency or secondary hyperparathyroidism. Areal BMD measures of the PA spine, lateral spine, and distal radius were similarly low in the two cohorts. Conclusions: Although pulmonary function and vitamin D status were better in patients in the present-day cohort, areal BMD of the spine was reduced in a significant number of patients and was no different in patients with CF today than in the late 1990s. Further attention to optimizing bone health may be necessary to prevent CF-related bone disease. (C) 2015 European Cystic Fibrosis Society. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) and European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) Guidelines Committee on Mental Health sought the views of CF health care professionals concerning mental health care delivery. Methods: An online survey which focused on the current provision and barriers to mental health care was distributed to CF health care professionals. Results: Of the 1454 respondents, many did not have a colleague trained in mental health issues and 20% had no one on their team whose primary role was focused on assessing or treating these issues. Insufficient resources and a lack of competency were reported in relation to mental health referrals. Seventy-three percent of respondents had no experience with mental health screening. Of those who did, they utilized 48 different, validated scales. Conclusions: These data have informed the decision-making, dissemination and implementation strategies of the Mental Health Guidelines Committee sponsored by the CFF and ECFS.

TI Entropy and enthalpy for triggering cutaneous erythema SO JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE OPTICAL HEALTH SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Skin; erythema; thermal; entropy; enthalpy AB The molar entropy (Delta S) and molar enthalpy (Delta H) for the denaturation event that triggers cutaneous erythema was determined to be Delta S = 190 J/(mole K) and Delta H = 146.9 x 10(3) J/mole. The experiment involved placing heated water against the skin of the forearm, for a range of temperatures and exposure times. Exposing the skin to 45 degrees C for 22 s was at the threshold for producing erythema, which was similar to the threshold for a slight degree of pain.

In this paper we describe the use of both mouse (Nkx2-5(eGFP/w)) and human (NKX2-5(eGFP/w)) pluripotent stem cell reporter lines, differentiated toward cardiac lineage, for live single cell high acquisition rate calcium imaging. We also assess the potential of NKX2-5(eGFP/w) cardiac lineage cells for use toxicological screening as well as establish their sensitivity to a shift between low and high oxygen environments. Differentiated mouse Nkx2-5(eGFP/w) cells demonstrated a wide range of spontaneous oscillation rates that could be reduced by ryanodine (10 mu M), thapsigargin (1 mu M) and ZD7288 (10 mu M). In contrast human NKX2-5(eGFP/w) cell activity was only reduced by thapsigargin (1 mu M). Human cell survival was sensitive to the addition of trastuzumab and doxorubicin, while the switch from a low to a high oxygen environment affected oscillation frequency. We suggest that the human NKX2-5(eGFP/w) cells are less suitable for studies of compounds affecting cardiac pacemaker activity than mouse Nkx2-5(eGFP/w) cells, but are very suitable for cardiac toxicity studies.

TI Changes in Autonomic Nervous System Activity are Associated with Changes in Sexual Function in Women with a History of Childhood Sexual Abuse SO JOURNAL OF SEXUAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE Childhood Sexual Abuse; Heart Rate Variability; Sexual Function; Autonomic Nervous System; Expressive Writing ID HEART-RATE-VARIABILITY; FUNCTION INDEX FSFI; DEPRESSION; AROUSAL; SATISFACTION; DYSFUNCTION; VALIDATION; FAILURE; INDIVIDUALS; EXPERIENCES AB Introduction. Women with histories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) have higher rates of sexual difficulties, as well as high sympathetic nervous system response to sexual stimuli. Aim. The study aims to examine whether treatment-related changes in autonomic balance, as indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), were associated with changes in sexual arousal and orgasm function. Methods. In study 1, we measured HRV while writing a sexual essay in 42 healthy, sexually functional women without any history of sexual trauma. These data, along with demographics, were used to develop HRV norms equations. In study 2, 136 women with a history of CSA were randomized to one of three active expressive writing treatments that focused on their trauma, sexuality, or daily life (control condition). We recorded HRV while writing a sexual essay at pretreatment, posttreatment, and 2-week, and 1- and 6-month follow-ups; we also calculated the expected HRV for each participant based on the norms equations from study 1. Main Outcome Measures. The main outcome measures used were HRV, Female Sexual Function Index, Sexual Satisfaction ScaleWomen. Results. The difference between expected and observed HRV decreased over time, indicating that, posttreatment, CSA survivors displayed HRV closer to the expected HRV of a demographics-matched woman with no history of sexual trauma. Also, over time, participants whose HRV became less dysregulated showed the biggest gains in sexual arousal and orgasm function. These effects were consistent across condition. Conclusions. Treatments that reduce autonomic imbalance may improve sexual well-being among CSA populations. Lorenz TK, Harte CB, and Meston CM.

TI Imaging Features of Primary Tumors and Metastatic Patterns of the Extraskeletal Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors in Adults: A 17-Year Experience at a Single Institution SO KOREAN JOURNAL OF RADIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Ewing sarcoma family of tumors; Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma; Computed tomography; Imaging ID TISSUE AB Objective: To comprehensively analyze the spectrum of imaging features of the primary tumors and metastatic patterns of the Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (EES) in adults. Materials and Methods: We performed a computerized search of our hospital's data-warehouse from 1996 to 2013 using codes for Ewing sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors as well as the demographic code for 18 years of age. We selected subjects who were histologically confirmed to have Ewing sarcoma of extraskeletal origin. Imaging features of the primary tumor and metastatic disease were evaluated for lesion location, size, enhancement pattern, necrosis, margin, and invasion of adjacent organs. Results: Among the 70 patients (mean age, 35.8 +/- 15.6 years; range, 18-67 years) included in our study, primary tumors of EES occurred in the soft tissue and extremities (n = 20), abdomen and pelvis (n = 18), thorax (n = 14), paravertebral space (n = 8), head and neck (n = 6), and an unknown primary site (n = 4). Most primary tumors manifested as large and bulky soft-tissue masses (mean size, 9.0 cm; range, 1.3-23.0 cm), frequently invading adjacent organs (45.6%) and showed heterogeneous enhancement (73.7%), a well-defined (66.7%) margin, and partial necrosis/cystic degeneration (81.9 %). Notably, 29 patients had metastatic disease detected at their initial diagnosis. The most frequent site of metastasis was lymph nodes (75.9%), followed by bone (31.0%), Lung (20.7%), abdominal solid organs (13.8%), peritoneum (13.8%), pleura (6.9%), and brain (3.4%). Conclusion: Primary tumors of EES can occur anywhere and mostly manifest as large and bulky, soft-tissue masses. Lymph nodes are the most frequent metastasis sites.

Here we show that OKSM expression in mouse fibroblasts gives rise to both induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) under conditions previously shown to induce only iNSCs. Fibroblast-derived iNSC colonies silenced retroviral transgenes and reactivated silenced X chromosomes, both hallmarks of pluripotent stem cells. Moreover, lineage tracing with an Oct4-CreER labeling system demonstrated that virtually all iNSC colonies originated from cells transiently expressing Oct4, whereas ablation of Oct4(+) cells prevented iNSC formation. Lastly, an alternative transdifferentiation cocktail that lacks Oct4 and was reportedly unable to support induced pluripotency yielded iPSCs and iNSCs carrying the Oct4-CreER-derived lineage label. Together, these data suggest that iNSC generation from fibroblasts using OKSM and other pluripotency-related reprogramming factors requires passage through a transient iPSC state.

Loss-of-function mutations that impair function of the Nox2 complex result in a life-threatening immunodeficiency, and genetic variants of Nox2 subunits have been implicated in pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Thus, alterations in the oxidative burst can profoundly impact host defense, yet little is known about regulatory mechanisms that fine-tune this response. Here we report the discovery of regulatory nodes controlling oxidative burst by functional screening of genes within loci linked to human inflammatory disease. Implementing a multi-omics approach, we define transcriptional, metabolic and ubiquitin-cycling nodes controlled by Rbpj, Pfkl and Rnf145, respectively. Furthermore, we implicate Rnf145 in proteostasis of the Nox2 complex by endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation. Consequently, ablation of Rnf145 in murine macrophages enhances bacterial clearance, and rescues the oxidative burst defects associated with Ncf4 haploinsufficiency.

Here we report the results of a two-stage association study with 18,299 cases of colorectal cancer and 19,656 controls, with follow-up of the most statistically significant genetic loci in 4,725 cases and 9,969 controls from two Asian consortia. We describe six new susceptibility loci reaching a genome-wide threshold of P<5.0E - 08. These findings provide additional insight into the underlying biological mechanisms of colorectal cancer and demonstrate the scientific value of large consortia-based genetic epidemiology studies.

In light of fast-paced advances in science and technology that are inspiring new questions and methods of investigation in the health sciences, the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science convened the Idea Festival for Nursing Science Education and appointed the Idea Festival Advisory Committee (IFAC) to stimulate dialogue about linking PhD education with a renewed vision for preparation of the next generation of nursing scientists. Building on the 2005 National Research Council report Advancing The Nation's Health Needs and the 2010 American Association of Colleges of Nursing Position Statement on the Research-Focused Doctorate Pathways to Excellence, the IFAC specifically addressed the capacity of PhD programs to prepare nursing scientists to conduct cutting-edge research in the following key emerging and priority areas of health sciences research: omics and the microbiome; health behavior, behavior change, and biobehavioral science; patient-reported outcomes; big data, e-science, and informatics; quantitative sciences; translation science; and health economics. The purpose of this article is to (a) describe IFAC activities, (b) summarize 2014 discussions hosted as part of the Idea Festival, and (c) present IFAC recommendations for incorporating these emerging areas of science and technology into research-focused doctoral programs committed to preparing graduates for lifelong, competitive careers in nursing science. The recommendations address clearer articulation of program focus areas; inclusion of foundational knowledge in emerging areas of science in core courses on nursing science and research methods; faculty composition; prerequisite student knowledge and skills; and in-depth, interdisciplinary training in supporting area of science content and methods.

Lessons learned and strategies for planning and implementing an international research project are addressed. Methods: Four nurse researchers who conducted studies in diverse international settings (Argentina, India, South Africa, and Tanzania) describe their collective experiences regarding study planning and implementation; data collection using a variety of methods; and cultural, contextual and ethical considerations. Results: Nurses who undertake international health research projects, particularly in LMICs, can face unique challenges and opportunities. Recommendations for success include advance planning, remaining flexible, having a backup plan, cultivating an attitude of curiosity and cultural humility, establishing collaborative and respectful partnerships, and budgeting adequate time. Conclusions: Nurse scientists often receive little training and support to conduct international research. Guidance to undertake research projects in LMICs can build capacity for nurses to make significant contributions to global health.

Survivors disclose the violence to friends who are often ill equipped to help them manage the consequences. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of Friends Helping Friends, a community-level education program to teach older adolescents to recognize and intervene in dating violence. A convenience sample of 101 students aged 18 to 22 years were nonrandomly allocated to a treatment or control group and completed pre- and post-test measures. Compared with the control group, treatment group participants reported increased perceived responsibility to help, skills to act as a bystander, and intention to help and decreased rape myth acceptance. Friends Helping Friends shows promise as an effective strategy for older adolescent females in the prevention and response to dating violence.

TI A Best-Evidence Systematic Appraisal of the Diagnostic Accuracy and Utility of Facet (Zygapophysial) Joint Injections in Chronic Spinal Pain SO PAIN PHYSICIAN LA English DT Review DE Chronic spinal pain; lumbar facet or zygapophysial joint pain; cervical facet or zygapophysial joint pain; thoracic facet or zygapophysial joint pain; facet joint nerve blocks; medial branch blocks; controlled comparative local anesthetic blocks ID LOW-BACK-PAIN; MEDIAL BRANCH BLOCKS; LOCAL-ANESTHETIC BLOCKS; GENE-RELATED PEPTIDE; 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP; CERVICAL DORSAL RAMI; FALSE-POSITIVE RATE; LONG-TERM RELIEF; NECK PAIN; NERVE BLOCKS AB Background: Spinal zygapophysial, or facet, joints are a source of axial spinal pain and referred pain in the extremities. Conventional clinical features and other noninvasive diagnostic modalities are unreliable in diagnosing zygapophysial joint pain. Study Design: A systematic review of the diagnostic accuracy of spinal facet joint nerve blocks. Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of spinal facet joint nerve blocks in chronic spinal pain. Methods: A methodological quality assessment of included studies was performed using Quality Appraisal of Reliability Studies (QAREL). Only diagnostic accuracy studies meeting at least 50% of the designated inclusion criteria were utilized for analysis. The level of evidence was classified as Level I to V based on the grading of evidence utilizing best evidence synthesis. Data sources included relevant literature identified through searches of PubMed and other electronic searches published from 1966 through March 2015, Cochrane reviews, and manual searches of the bibliographies of known primary and review articles. Outcome Measures: Studies must have been performed utilizing controlled local anesthetic blocks. The criterion standard must have been at least 50% pain relief from baseline scores and the ability to perform previously painful movements. Results: The available evidence is Level I for lumbar facet joint nerve blocks with the inclusion of a total of 17 studies with dual diagnostic blocks, with at least 75% pain relief with an average prevalence of 16% to 41% and false-positive rates of 25% to 44%. The evidence for diagnosis of cervical facet joint pain with cervical facet joint nerve blocks is Level II based on a total of 11 controlled diagnostic accuracy studies, with significant variability among the prevalence in a heterogenous population with internal inconsistency. The prevalence rates ranged from 36% to 67% with at least 80% pain relief as the criterion standard and a false-positive rate of 27% to 63%. The level of evidence for the diagnostic accuracy of thoracic facet joint nerve blocks is Level II with 80% or higher pain relief as the criterion standard with a prevalence ranging from 34% to 48% and false-positive rates ranging from 42% to 48%. Limitations: The shortcomings of this systematic review include a paucity of literature related to the thoracic spine, continued debate on an appropriate gold standard, appropriateness of diagnostic blocks, and utility. Conclusion: The evidence is Level I for the diagnostic accuracy of lumbar facet joint nerve blocks, Level II for cervical facet joint nerve blocks, and Level II for thoracic facet joint nerve blocks in assessment of chronic spinal pain.

TI A Systematic Review and Best Evidence Synthesis of Effectiveness of Therapeutic Facet Joint Interventions in Managing Chronic Spinal Pain SO PAIN PHYSICIAN LA English DT Review DE Spinal pain; chronic low back pain; chronic neck pain; chronic thoracic pain; intraarticular facet joint blocks; facet joint nerve blocks; conventional radiofrequency neurotomy; pulsed radiofrequency neurolysis ID LOW-BACK-PAIN; MEDIAL BRANCH BLOCKS; INTERLAMINAR EPIDURAL INJECTIONS; ACTIVE-CONTROL TRIAL; 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP; CLINICALLY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE; CERVICAL ZYGAPOPHYSEAL JOINTS; LUMBAR DISC HERNIATION; BLIND CONTROLLED-TRIAL; CHRONIC NECK PAIN AB Background: The therapeutic spinal facet joint interventions generally used for the treatment of axial spinal pain of facet joint origin are intraarticular facet joint injections, facet joint nerve blocks, and radiofrequency neurotomy. Despite interventional procedures being common as treatment strategies for facet joint pathology, there is a paucity of literature investigating these therapeutic approaches. Systematic reviews assessing the effectiveness of various therapeutic facet joint interventions have shown there to be variable evidence based on the region and the modality of treatment utilized. Overall, the evidence ranges from limited to moderate. Objective: To evaluate and update the clinical utility of therapeutic lumbar, cervical, and thoracic facet joint interventions in managing chronic spinal pain. Study Design: A systematic review of therapeutic lumbar, cervical, and thoracic facet joint interventions for the treatment of chronic spinal pain. Methods: The available literature on lumbar, cervical, and thoracic facet joint interventions in managing chronic spinal pain was reviewed. The quality assessment criteria utilized were the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Review Group criteria and Interventional Pain Management Techniques - Quality Appraisal of Reliability and Risk of Bias Assessment (IPM - QRB) for randomized trials and Interventional Pain Management Techniques - Quality Appraisal of Reliability and Risk of Bias Assessment for Nonrandomized Studies (IPM - QRBNR) for observational studies. The level of evidence was classified at 5 levels from Level I to Level V. Data sources included relevant literature identified through searches on PubMed and EMBASE from 1966 through March 2015, and manual searches of the bibliographies of known primary and review articles. Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measure was pain relief (short-term relief = up to 6 months and long-term > 6 months). Secondary outcome measures were improvement in functional status, psychological status, return to work, and reduction in opioid intake consumption. Results: A total of 21 randomized controlled trials meeting appropriate inclusion criteria were assessed in this evaluation. A total of 5 observational studies were assessed. In the lumbar spine, for long-term effectiveness, there is Level II evidence for radiofrequency neurotomy and lumbar facet joint nerve blocks, whereas the evidence is Level III for lumbosacral intraarticular injections. In the cervical spine, for long-term improvement, there is Level II evidence for cervical radiofrequency neurotomy and cervical facet joint nerve blocks, and Level IV evidence for cervical intraarticular injections. In the thoracic spine there is Level II evidence for thoracic facet joint nerve blocks and Level IV evidence for radiofrequency neurotomy for long-term improvement. Limitations: The limitations of this systematic review include an overall paucity of high quality studies and more specifically the lack of investigations related to thoracic facet joint injections. Conclusion: Based on the present assessment for the management of spinal facet joint pain, the evidence for long-term improvement is Level II for lumbar and cervical radiofrequency neurotomy, and therapeutic facet joint nerve blocks in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine; Level III for lumbar intraarticular injections; and Level IV for cervical intraarticular injections and thoracic radiofrequency neurotomy.

Insulin is a potent anticatabolic hormone; high-dose insulin decreases skeletal muscle protein breakdown in critically ill pediatric surgical patients. However, insulin's effect on protein catabolism when given at clinically utilized doses has not been studied. The objective was to evaluate the effect of postoperative tight glycemic control and clinically dosed insulin on skeletal muscle degradation in children after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Design: Secondary analysis of a two-center, prospective randomized trial comparing tight glycemic control with standard care. Randomization was stratified by study center. Patients: Children 0-36 months who were admitted to the ICU after cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Interventions: In the tight glycemic control arm, insulin was titrated to maintain blood glucose between 80 and 110 mg/dL. Patients in the control arm received standard care. Skeletal muscle breakdown was quantified by a ratio of urinary 3-methylhistidine to urinary creatinine. Measurements and Main Results: A total of 561 patients were included: 281 in the tight glycemic control arm and 280 receiving standard care. There was no difference in 3-methylhistidine to creatinine between groups (tight glycemic control, 249 127 vs standard care, 253 +/- 112, mean +/- sd in mol/g; p = 0.72). In analyses restricted to the patients in tight glycemic control arm, higher 3-methylhistidine to creatinine correlated with younger age, as well as lower weight, weight-for-age z score, length, and body surface area (p < 0.005 for each) and lower postoperative day 3 serum creatinine (r = -0.17; p = 0.02). Sex, prealbumin, and albumin were not associated with 3-methylhistidine to creatinine. During urine collection, 245 patients (87%) received insulin. However, any insulin exposure did not impact 3-methylhistidine to creatinine (t test, p = 0.45), and there was no dose-dependent effect of insulin on 3-methylhistidine to creatinine (r = -0.03; p = 0.60). Conclusion: Although high-dose insulin has an anabolic effect in experimental conditions, at doses necessary to achieve normoglycemia, insulin appears to have no discernible impact on skeletal muscle degradation in critically ill pediatric cardiac surgical patients.

The suicide rate in Seoul is rapidly increasing and is more than five times higher than that in the state of Massachusetts (MA) during the last decade, especially in the elderly. The suicide prevention program of MA is one of the most effective suicide prevention programs in the United States. The program views suicide as a preventable public health problem, and emphasizes treatment of depression and de-stigmatization of mental health illnesses to prevent suicide. Also, through active collaboration with mental health professionals, they try to identify at risk populations and help them to get medical interventions. The program also actively collaborates with the regional coalition program and the Samaritans in taking care of the elderly, and supports the elderly in feeling worthwhile after retirement by helping them to work for communities as volunteers. For its part, the Seoul suicide prevention program puts more emphasis on "life respect culture" and "emotional support to high risk individuals by regular visiting". The annual budget of the Seoul suicide prevention program is one-quarter and that for mental health is about one-twentieth that of MA. Considering the high suicide rate and lower mental health service usage in Seoul, it is crucial to raise awareness of depression and decrease the stigma on mental illnesses. Furthermore, educational efforts with long-term investment in research on suicide are necessary.

TI What Do People Actually Learn from Public Health Campaigns? Incorrect Inferences About Male Circumcision and Female HIV Infection Risk Among Men and Women in Malawi SO AIDS AND BEHAVIOR LA English DT Article DE Male circumcision; Female HIV risk; Risk beliefs; Information; HIV prevention; Southern Africa ID RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; PREVENTION; TRANSMISSION; ATTITUDES; AFRICA; UGANDA; RAKAI AB Qualitative studies and polling data from sub-Saharan Africa indicate that many individuals may mistakenly believe that male circumcision directly protects women from contracting HIV. This study examines whether individuals who learn that male circumcision reduces female-to-male HIV transmission also erroneously infer a reduction in direct male-to-female transmission risk (i.e. from an HIV-positive man to an uninfected woman). We used data on Malawian men (n = 917) randomized to receive information about voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) and HIV risk in 2008 and a random sample of their wives (n = 418). We found that 72 % of men and 82 % of women who believed that male circumcision reduces HIV risk for men also believed that it reduces HIV risk for women. Regression analyses indicated that men randomly assigned to receive information about the protective benefits of circumcision were more likely to adopt the erroneous beliefs, and that the underlying mechanism was the formation of the belief that male circumcision reduces HIV risk for men. The results suggest the need for VMMC campaigns to make explicit that male circumcision does not directly protect women from HIV-infection.

The primary objective of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) core of ADNI has been to improve methods for clinical trials in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related disorders. Methods: We review the contributions of the MRI core from present and past cycles of ADNI (ADNI-1, -Grand Opportunity and -2). We also review plans for the future-ADNI-3. Results: Contributions of the MRI core include creating standardized acquisition protocols and quality control methods; examining the effect of technical features of image acquisition and analysis on outcome metrics; deriving sample size estimates for future trials based on those outcomes; and piloting the potential utility of MR perfusion, diffusion, and functional connectivity measures in multicenter clinical trials. Discussion: Over the past decade the MRI core of ADNI has fulfilled its mandate of improving methods for clinical trials in AD and will continue to do so in the future. (C) 2015 The Authors.

Here, we provide an update on sample collection, scientific progress and opportunities, conceptual issues, and future plans. Methods: Lymphoblastoid cell lines and DNA and RNA samples from blood have been collected and banked, and data and biosamples have been widely disseminated. To date, APOE genotyping, genome-wide association study (GWAS), and whole exome and whole genome sequencing data have been obtained and disseminated. Results: ADNI genetic data have been downloaded thousands of times, and >300 publications have resulted, including reports of large-scale GWAS by consortia to which ADNI contributed. Many of the first applications of quantitative endophenotype association studies used ADNI data, including some of the earliest GWAS and pathway-based studies of biospecimen and imaging biomarkers, as well as memory and other clinical/cognitive variables. Other contributions include some of the first whole exome and whole genome sequencing data sets and reports in healthy controls, mild cognitive impairment, and AD. Discussion: Numerous genetic susceptibility and protective markers for AD and disease biomarkers have been identified and replicated using ADNI data and have heavily implicated immune, mitochondrial, cell cycle/fate, and other biological processes. Early sequencing studies suggest that rare and structural variants are likely to account for significant additional phenotypic variation. Longitudinal analyses of transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and epigenomic changes will also further elucidate dynamic processes underlying preclinical and prodromal stages of disease. Integration of this unique collection of multiomics data within a systems biology framework will help to separate truly informative markers of early disease mechanisms and potential novel therapeutic targets from the vast background of less relevant biological processes. Fortunately, a broad swath of the scientific community has accepted this grand challenge. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of the Alzheimer's Association.

ADNI is a naturalistic (nontreatment) multisite longitudinal study. A true public-private partnership, the initiative has set a new standard for data sharing without embargo and for the use of biomarkers in dementia research. The ADNI effort in North America is not the only such effort in the world. The Alzheimer's Association recognized these global efforts and formed Worldwide ADNI (WW-ADNI). By creating a platform for international collaboration and cooperation, WW-ADNI's goals are to harmonize projects and results across geographical regions and to facilitate data management and availability to investigators around the world. WW-ADNI projects include those based in North America, Europe, Japan, Australia, Korea, and Argentina. (C) 2015 The Alzheimer's Association. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

TI Male soy food intake was not associated with invitro fertilization outcomes among couples attending a fertility center SO ANDROLOGY LA English DT Article DE epidemiology; ICSI; IVF; male reproductive health; soy intake ID ESTROGEN-RECEPTOR-ALPHA; FREQUENCY QUESTIONNAIRE; SEMEN QUALITY; US ADULTS; MEN; PHYTOESTROGEN; WOMEN; INFERTILITY; REPRODUCIBILITY; VALIDITY AB Male factor etiology may be a contributing factor in up to 60% of infertility cases. Dietary intake of phytoestrogens has been related to abnormal semen quality and hormone levels. However, its effect on couple fecundity is still unclear. Intake of soy products was assessed in 184 men from couples undergoing infertility treatment with invitro fertilization. Couples were recruited between February 2007 and May 2014 and prospectively followed to document treatment outcomes including fertilization, implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth. Multivariate generalized linear mixed models with random intercepts, binomial distribution and logit link function were used to examine this relation while accounting for repeated treatment cycles and adjusting for potential confounders. Male partner's intake of soy foods and soy isoflavones was unrelated to fertilization rates, the proportions of poor quality embryos, accelerated or slow embryo cleavage rate, and implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth. The adjusted live birth rates per initiated cycle (95% CI) for partners of men in increasing categories of soy food intake were 0.36 (0.28-0.45), 0.42 (0.29-0.56), 0.36 (0.24-0.51), and 0.37 (0.24-0.52), respectively. Soy food intake in men was not related to clinical outcomes among couples presenting at an infertility clinic. Data on the relation between phytoestrogens and male reproductive potential remain scarce and additional research is required to clarify its role in human reproduction.

Charles TI [F-18]-FLT PET to predict early response to neoadjuvant therapy in KRAS wild-type rectal cancer: a pilot study SO ANNALS OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE F-18-FLT; Rectal cancer; Cetuximab; EGFR; Treatment response ID POSITRON-EMISSION-TOMOGRAPHY; GROWTH-FACTOR RECEPTOR; CELL LUNG-CANCER; PHASE-II TRIAL; COLORECTAL-CANCER; IMAGING PROLIFERATION; INFUSION REACTIONS; CETUXIMAB; MULTICENTER; IRINOTECAN AB This pilot study evaluated the utility of 3'-deoxy-3'[18F]-fluorothymidine ([F-18]-FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) to predict response to neoadjuvant therapy that included cetuximab in patients with wild-type KRAS rectal cancers. Baseline [F-18]-FLT PET was collected prior to treatment initiation. Follow-up [F-18]-FLT was collected after three weekly infusions of cetuximab, and following a combined regimen of cetuximab, 5-FU, and radiation. Imaging-matched biopsies were collected with each PET study. Diminished [F-18]-FLT PET was observed in 3/4 of patients following cetuximab treatment alone and in all patients following combination therapy. Reduced [F-18]-FLT PET following combination therapy predicted disease-free status at surgery. Overall, [F-18]-FLT PET agreed with Ki67 immunoreactivity from biopsy samples and surgically resected tissue, and was predictive of treatment-induced rise in p27 levels. These results suggest that [F-18]-FLT PET is a promising imaging biomarker to predict response to neoadjuvant therapy that included EGFR blockade with cetuximab in patients with rectal cancer.

Patients and methods: A systematic review of studies about first-line therapy in immunocompetent patients = 60 years with PCNSL until 2014 and a meta-analysis of individual patient data from eligible studies and international collaborators were carried out. Results: We identified 20 eligible studies; from 13 studies, we obtained individual data of 405 patients, which were pooled with data of 378 additional patients (N = 783). Median age and Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) was 68 years (range: 60-90 years) and 60% (range: 10%-100%), respectively. Treatments varied greatly, 573 (73%) patients received high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based therapy. A total of 276 patients received whole-brain radiotherapy (median 36 Gy, range 28.5-70 Gy). KPS = 70% was the strongest prognostic factor for mortality [ hazard ratio (HR) 0.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41-0.62]. After a median follow-up of 40 months, HD-MTX-based therapy was associated with improved survival (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.53-0.93). There was no difference between HD-MTX plus oral chemotherapy and more aggressive HD-MTX-based therapies (HR 1.39, 95% CI 0.90-2.15). Radiotherapy was associated with an improved survival, but correlated with an increased risk for neurological side-effects (odds ratio 5.23, 95% CI 2.33-11.74). Conclusions: Elderly PCNSL patients benefit from HD-MTX-based therapy, especially if combined with oral alkylating agents. More aggressive HD-MTX protocols do not seem to improve outcome. WBRT may improve outcome, but is associated with increased risk for neurological side-effects. Prospective trials for elderly PCNSL patients are warranted.

TI High PSA anxiety and low health literacy skills: drivers of early use of salvage ADT among men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy? SO ANNALS OF ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article DE prostatic neoplasm; recurrence; health policy; androgen deprivation therapy; salvage therapy ID ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY; HIV MEDICATION ADHERENCE; RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY; TRIAL; CARE; SURVEILLANCE; SUPPRESSION; VALIDATION; RADIATION; KNOWLEDGE AB Background: Although commonly used, early initiation of salvage androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has not been proven to enhance survival. We evaluated whether prostate- specific antigen (PSA) anxiety or health literacy are associated with use of early salvage ADT among men with recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy. Patients and Methods: The prospective Comprehensive, Observational, Multicenter, Prostate Adenocarcinoma Registry was used to study 375 men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after external beam radiation or brachytherapy. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine whether PSA anxiety and health literacy are associated with salvage ADT as initial management after biochemical recurrence. Results: Sixty- eight men (18.1%) received salvage ADT as initial management for PSA recurrence. Men with high PSA anxiety were twice as likely to receive salvage ADT compared with men who did not have high PSA anxiety on both univariable [ 28.8% versus 13.1%; odds ratio (OR) 2.15; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.16- 4.00; P = 0.015] and multivariable analysis [ adjusted OR (AOR) 2.36; 95% CI 1.21- 4.62; P = 0.012]. Furthermore, men who had higher levels of health literacy were nearly half as likely to undergo salvage ADT compared with men who had lower levels of health literacy on univariable analysis (15.2% versus 26.3%; OR 0.50; 95% CI 0.29- 0.88; P = 0.016), with a trend toward this association on multivariable analysis (AOR 0.58; 95% CI 0.32- 1.05; P = 0.07). Conclusions: Among men with PSA recurrence after radiotherapy, odds of use of salvage ADT were nearly twice as great among men with high PSA anxiety or low health literacy, suggesting that these men are receiving higher rates of unproven treatment. Given that early salvage ADT is costly, worsens quality of life, and has not been shown to improve survival, quality improvement strategies are needed for these individuals. C1 [Mahal, B.

TI A refined risk stratification scheme for clinical stage 1 NSGCT based on evaluation of both embryonal predominance and lymphovascular invasion SO ANNALS OF ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article DE nonseminoma germ-cell tumor; clinical stage 1; relapse; embryonal predominance; lymphovascular invasion; active surveillance ID GERM-CELL TUMORS; RESEARCH-COUNCIL TRIAL; I TESTICULAR CANCER; ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE; PROGNOSTIC-FACTORS; TESTIS CANCER; SEMINOMA; RELAPSE; MANAGEMENT; CARCINOMA AB Background: Active surveillance is an increasingly accepted approach for managing patients with germ-cell tumors (GCTs) after an orchiectomy. Here we investigate a time-to-relapse stratification scheme for clinical stage 1 (CS1) nonseminoma GCT (NSGCT) patients according to factors associated with relapse and identify a group of patients with a lower frequency and longer time-to-relapse who may require an alternative surveillance strategy. Patients and methods: We analyzed 266 CS1 GCT patients from the IRB-approved DFCI GCT database that exclusively underwent surveillance following orchiectomy from 1997 to 2013. We stratified NSGCT patients according to predominance of embryonal carcinoma (EmbP) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI), using a 0, 1, and 2 scoring system. Cox regression and conditional risk analysis were used to compare each NSGCT group to patients in the seminomatous germ-cell tumor (SGCT) category. Median time-to-relapse values were then calculated among those patients who underwent relapse. Relapse-free survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Fifty (37%) NSGCT and 20 (15%) SGCT patients relapsed. The median time-to-relapse was 11.5 versus 6.3 months for the SGCT and NSGCT groups, respectively. For NSGCT patients, relapse rates were higher and median timeto- relapse faster with increasing number of risk factors (RFs). Relapse rates (%) and median time-to-relapse (months) were 25%/ 8.5 months, 41%/ 6.8 months and 78%/ 3.8 months for RF0, RF1 and RF2, respectively. We found a statistically significant difference between SGCT and patients with one or two RFs (P < 0.001) but not between SGCT and NSGCT RF0 (P = 0.108). Conclusion: NSGCT patients grouped by a risk score system based on EmbP and LVI yielded three groups with distinct relapse patterns -and patients with neither EmbP nor LVI appear to behave similar to SGCT.

TI Targeting HER2 aberrations as actionable drivers in lung cancers: phase II trial of the pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor dacomitinib in patients with HER2 - mutant or amplified tumors SO ANNALS OF ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article DE dacomitinib; HER2 mutations; HER2 amplification; lung cancers; tyrosine kinase inhibitors ID SOLID TUMORS; MUTATIONS; DOMAIN; ERBB2; ADENOCARCINOMAS; TRASTUZUMAB; COMBINATION; THERAPY; EGFR AB Background: HER2 mutations and amplifications have been identified as oncogenic drivers in lung cancers. Dacomitinib, an irreversible inhibitor of HER2, EGFR ( HER1), and HER4 tyrosine kinases, has demonstrated activity in cell- line models with HER2 exon 20 insertions or amplifications. Here, we studied dacomitinib in patients with HER2mutant or amplified lung cancers. Patients and methods: As a prespecified cohort of a phase II study, we included patients with stage IIIB/ IV lung cancers with HER2 mutations or amplification. We gave oral dacomitinib at 30- 45 mg daily in 28- day cycles. End points included partial response rate, overall survival, and toxicity. Results: We enrolled 30 patients with HER2- mutant ( n = 26, all in exon 20 including 25 insertions and 1 missense mutation) or HER2- amplified lung cancers ( n = 4). Three of 26 patients with tumors harboring HER2 exon 20 mutations [ 12%; 95% confidence interval ( CI) 2% to 30%] had partial responses lasting 3+, 11, and 14 months. No partial responses occurred in four patients with tumors with HER2 amplifications. The median overall survival was 9 months from the start of dacomitinib (95% CI 7-21 months) for patients with HER2 mutations and ranged from 5 to 22 months with amplifications. Treatment-related toxicities included diarrhea (90%; grade 3/ 4: 20%/ 3%), dermatitis (73%; grade 3/ 4: 3%/ 0%), and fatigue (57%; grade 3/ 4: 3%/ 0%). One patient died on study likely due to an interaction of dacomitinib with mirtazapine. Conclusions: Dacomitinib produced objective responses in patients with lung cancers with specific HER2 exon 20 insertions. This observation validates HER2 exon 20 insertions as actionable targets and justifies further study of HER2targeted agents in specific HER2-driven lung cancers. C1 [Kris, M. G.; Li, B.

CA Natl Birth Defects Prevention Stud TI Maternal periconceptional alcohol consumption and congenital heart defects SO BIRTH DEFECTS RESEARCH PART A-CLINICAL AND MOLECULAR TERATOLOGY LA English DT Article DE congenital heart defects; alcohol; pregnancy; epidemiology; birth defects ID VENTRICULAR SEPTAL-DEFECT; RISK-FACTORS; BIRTH-DEFECTS; UNITED-STATES; CARDIOVASCULAR MALFORMATIONS; ETHANOL EXPOSURE; CARDIAC DEFECTS; EARLY-PREGNANCY; BINGE DRINKING; PREVALENCE AB BackgroundCongenital heart defects (CHDs) are the leading cause of infant death from birth defects. Animal studies suggest in utero alcohol exposure is a teratogen for cardiogenesis; however, results from epidemiologic studies are mixed. MethodsData from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study were used to estimate associations between CHDs and case (n=7076) and control (n=7972) mother reports of periconceptional (1 month before pregnancy through the first trimester) alcohol consumption with expected delivery dates during 1997 to 2007. CHDs were examined by category (conotruncal, septal, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, heterotaxy with CHD) and subtype (e.g., tetralogy of Fallot [TOF]). Alcohol measures examined were any consumption, maximum average drinks per month, binge drinking, and alcohol type. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using unconditional logistic regression analysis. ResultsIncreased risks, albeit marginally statistically significant, were observed for TOF and each maternal alcohol measure examined and for right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and heterotaxy with CHD and consumption of distilled spirits. Significantly reduced risks were observed for several CHD categories (septal defects, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction) and some corresponding subtypes with different alcohol measures. Significant risks were not observed for the other CHDs examined. ConclusionAnalysis of this large, well-defined study sample did not show statistically significant increased risks between measures of maternal alcohol consumption and most CHDs examined. These findings may reflect, in part, limitations with retrospective exposure assessment or unmeasured confounders. Additional studies with continued improvement in measurement of alcohol consumption are recommended. Birth Defects Research (Part A) 103:617-629, 2015. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TI The Ageing Brain: Age-dependent changes in the electroencephalogram during propofol and sevoflurane general anaesthesia SO BRITISH JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA LA English DT Article DE ageing; brain monitoring; EEG; elderly; electroencephalography; propofol; sevoflurane ID INDUCED ALPHA-RHYTHM; INDUCED UNCONSCIOUSNESS; BURST SUPPRESSION; BEHAVIORAL-EXPERIMENTS; BISPECTRAL ANALYSIS; COHERENCE ANALYSIS; EEG; HEALTHY; STATE; CONSCIOUSNESS AB Background: Anaesthetic drugs act at sites within the brain that undergo profound changes during typical ageing. We postulated that anaesthesia-induced brain dynamics observed in the EEG change with age. Methods: We analysed the EEG in 155 patients aged 18-90 yr who received propofol (n=60) or sevoflurane (n=95) as the primary anaesthetic. The EEG spectrum and coherence were estimated throughout a 2 min period of stable anaesthetic maintenance. Age-related effects were characterized by analysing power and coherence as a function of age using linear regression and by comparing the power spectrum and coherence in young (18-to 38-yr-old) and elderly (70- to 90-yr-old) patients. Results: Power across all frequency bands decreased significantly with age for both propofol and sevoflurane; elderly patients showed EEG oscillations similar to 2- to 3-fold smaller in amplitude than younger adults. The qualitative form of the EEG appeared similar regardless of age, showing prominent alpha (8-12 Hz) and slow (0.1-1 Hz) oscillations. However, alpha band dynamics showed specific age-related changes. In elderly compared with young patients, alpha power decreased more than slow power, and alpha coherence and peak frequency were significantly lower. Older patients were more likely to experience burst suppression. Conclusions: These profound age-related changes in the EEG are consistent with known neurobiological and neuroanatomical changes that occur during typical ageing. Commercial EEG-based depth-of-anaesthesia indices do not account for age and are therefore likely to be inaccurate in elderly patients. In contrast, monitoring the unprocessed EEG and its spectrogram can account for age and individual patient characteristics. C1 [Purdon, P. L.; Pavone, K. J.; Akeju, O.; Sampson, A. L.; Zhou, D.

TI Ageing delays emergence from general anaesthesia in rats by increasing anaesthetic sensitivity in the brain SO BRITISH JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA LA English DT Article DE ageing; delayed emergence from anaesthesia; electroencephalography ID POSTOPERATIVE COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION; VOLATILE ANESTHETICS; AGE; PROPOFOL; DELIRIUM; ISOFLURANE; METHYLPHENIDATE; SOLUBILITY; DECREASES; POTENCY AB Background: Little is known about ageing-related changes in the brain that affect emergence from general anaesthesia. We used young adult and aged Fischer 344 rats to test the hypothesis that ageing delays emergence from general anaesthesia by increasing anaesthetic sensitivity in the brain. Methods: Time to emergence was determined for isoflurane (1.5 vol% for 45 min) and propofol (8 mg kg(-1) i.v.). The dose of isoflurane required to maintain loss of righting (LOR) was established in young adult and aged rats. The efficacy of methylphenidate to reverse LOR from general anaesthesia was tested. Separate young adult and aged rats with implanted electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes were used to test whether ageing increases sensitivity to anaesthetic-induced burst suppression. Results: Mean time to emergence from isoflurane anaesthesia was 47 s [95% CI 33, 60; young adult) compared with 243 s (95% CI 185, 308; aged). For propofol, mean time to emergence was 13.1 min (95% CI 11.9, 14.0; young adult) compared with 23.1 min (95% CI 18.8, 27.9; aged). These differences were statistically significant. When methylphenidate was administered after propofol, the mean time to emergence decreased to 6.6 min (95% CI 5.9, 7.1; young adult) and 10.2 min (95% CI 7.9, 12.3; aged). These reductions were statistically significant. Methylphenidate restored righting in all rats during continuous isoflurane anaesthesia. Aged rats had lower EEG power and were more sensitive to anaesthetic-induced burst suppression. Conclusions: Ageing delays emergence from general anaesthesia. This is due, at least in part, to increased anaesthetic sensitivity in the brain. Further studies are warranted to establish the underlying causes. C1 [Chemali, J. J.; Kenny, J.

TI Age-dependency of sevoflurane-induced electroencephalogram dynamics in children SO BRITISH JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA LA English DT Article DE electroencephalography; pediatric; sevoflurane ID HUMAN PREFRONTAL CORTEX; INDUCED ALPHA-RHYTHM; BISPECTRAL INDEX; GENERAL-ANESTHESIA; THALAMOCORTICAL CONNECTIVITY; INDUCED UNCONSCIOUSNESS; PEDIATRIC ANESTHESIA; NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCK; PROPOFOL ANESTHESIA; COHERENCE ANALYSIS AB Background: General anaesthesia induces highly structured oscillations in the electroencephalogram (EEG) in adults, but the anaesthesia-induced EEG in paediatric patients is less understood. Neural circuits undergo structural and functional transformations during development that might be reflected in anaesthesia-induced EEG oscillations. We therefore investigated age-related changes in the EEG during sevoflurane general anaesthesia in paediatric patients. Methods: We analysed the EEG recorded during routine care of patients between 0 and 28 yr of age (n=54), using power spectral and coherence methods. The power spectrum quantifies the energy in the EEG at each frequency, while the coherence measures the frequency-dependent correlation or synchronization between EEG signals at different scalp locations. We characterized the EEG as a function of age and within 5 age groups: <1 yr old(n=4), 1-6yrold(n=12), >6-14 yr old(n=14), >14-21 yr old(n=11), >21-28 yr old(n=13). Results: EEG power significantly increased from infancy through similar to 6 yr, subsequently declining to a plateau at approximately 21 yr. Alpha (8-13 Hz) coherence, a prominent EEG feature associated with sevoflurane-induced unconsciousness in adults, is absent in patients <1 yr. Conclusions: Sevoflurane-induced EEG dynamics in children vary significantly as a function of age. These age-related dynamics likely reflect ongoing development within brain circuits that are modulated by sevoflurane. These readily observed paediatric-specific EEG signatures could be used to improve brain state monitoring in children receiving general anaesthesia. C1 [Akeju, O.; Pavone, K. J.; Firth, P.

Additionally, we show that Bmi1 regulates reactive oxygen species accumulation in pancreatic cancer cells.Epigenetic dysregulation is involved in the initiation and progression of many epithelial cancers. BMI1, a component of the polycomb protein family, plays a key role in these processes by controlling the histone ubiquitination and long-term repression of multiple genomic loci. BMI1 has previously been implicated in pancreatic homeostasis and the function of pancreatic cancer stem cells. However, no work has yet addressed its role in the early stages of pancreatic cancer development. Here, we show that BMI1 is required for the initiation of murine pancreatic neoplasia using a novel conditional knockout of Bmi1 in combination with a Kras(G12D)-driven pancreatic cancer mouse model. We also demonstrate that the requirement for Bmi1 in pancreatic carcinogenesis is independent of the Ink4a/Arf locus and at least partially mediated by dysregulation of reactive oxygen species. Our data provide new evidence of the importance of this epigenetic regulator in the genesis of pancreatic cancer.

Methods and Results Using data from Get With The Guidelines-Stroke, we identified a cohort of 61 655 atrial fibrillation patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack hospitalized between October 2010 and September 2012 and discharged on warfarin or NOAC (either dabigatran or rivaroxaban). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with NOAC versus warfarin therapy. In our study population, warfarin was prescribed to 88.9%, dabigatran to 9.6%, and rivaroxaban to 1.5%. NOAC use increased from 0.04% to a 16% to 17% plateau during the study period, although anticoagulation rates among eligible patients did not change appreciably (93.7% versus 94.1% from first quarter 2011 to second quarter 2012), suggesting a trend of switching from warfarin to NOACs rather than increased rates of anticoagulation among eligible patients. Several bleeding risk factors and CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores were lower among those discharged on NOAC versus warfarin therapy (47.9% versus 40.9% with CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc 5, P<0.001 for difference in CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc). Conclusions NOACs have had modest but growing uptake over time among atrial fibrillation patients hospitalized with stroke or transient ischemic attack and are prescribed to patients with lower stroke risk compared with warfarin.

TI Effects of amniotic membrane extract on primary human corneal epithelial and limbal cells SO CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL OPHTHALMOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Cornea; Corneal wound healing; Amniotic membrane ID TGF-BETA; TRANSPLANTATION; SUPPRESSION; OPHTHALMOLOGY; FIBROBLASTS; APOPTOSIS; KERATITIS; PROTEIN; BURNS AB BackgroundTo assess the effects of amniotic membrane extract (AMX) on cellular activity of primary human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells under mechanical and oxidative stress, and on human limbal cells under oxidative stress. MethodsCorneal mechanical stress was simulated with a linear scratch in confluent HCE cell plates, then incubated with 0.1% AMX for 48 and 72h. Subjecting HCE cultures to 0.5mmol/L tertiary-butylhydroperoxide for 1h simulated an oxidative stress. 0.1% AMX-treated cultures were compared with controls at 24 and 48h using cellular viability assay, along with 12-h AMX pretreatment and human limbal cell comparisons. ResultsMechanical stress on HCE cultures revealed a statistically significant distance ratio at 48 and 72h in favour of 0.1% AMX-treated cultures (P=0.021 and 0.035, respectively). Oxidative stress did not reveal any significant difference in cellular viability of AMX-treated versus control cultures. Twelve hour AMX pre-treatment prior to oxidative stress revealed a significant difference after 24h from oxidative injury (73.3% AMXvs. 66.0% control, P=0.035), but not after 48h. Human limbal cells demonstrated significantly improved oxidative viability compared with HCE cells, with (91.0% vs. 82.0% control, P=0.017) and without 0.1% AMX pre-treatment (91.2% vs. 83.7% control, P=0.019). ConclusionsHCE cells treated with AMX healed faster after mechanical insult, suggesting a potential benefit in acute corneal injuries. Under oxidative stress, human limbal cells, a more proliferative cell type, showed superior viability compared with HCE cells.

BACKGROUND NA is an important substrate for stent failure. In vivo NA characteristics in DM patients have not been investigated. METHODS A total of 397 patients with 452 DES who underwent follow-up optical coherence tomography examination after DES implantation were enrolled. Characteristics of NA were compared between DM and non-DM patients. Neovascularization was defined as signal-poor holes or tubular structures with a diameter of 50 to 300 mm. RESULTS A total of 123 DES with NA lesions in 115 patients were identified. The incidence of NA was similar between DM and non-DM patients (29.6% vs. 28.6%; p = 0.825). Compared with the non-DM group, neovascularization was more frequently observed in the DM group (55.1% vs. 32.4%; p = 0.012). The multivariate logistic model demonstrated that DM (odds ratio: 3.00; 95% confidence interval: 1.31 to 6.81; p = 0.009) and follow-up duration (odds ratio: 1.03; 95% confidence interval: 1.02 to 1.05; p < 0.001) were the independent predictors for neovascularization in NA lesions. DM patients with glycated hemoglobin >= 7.0% had a higher prevalence of thin-cap fibroatheroma compared with those with glycated hemoglobin <7.0% (40.0% vs. 8.3%; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of NA was similar between patients with and without DM. Neovascularization in NA lesions was more frequent in those with DM. Poorly controlled DM patients had a higher incidence of thin-cap fibroatheroma, compared with those with well-controlled DM. (C) 2015 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation.

TI Laryngeal Reinnervation Using a Split-Hypoglossal Nerve Graft in a Canine Model SO JAMA OTOLARYNGOLOGY-HEAD & NECK SURGERY LA English DT Article ID VOCAL FOLD PARALYSIS; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; CORD PARALYSIS; THYROARYTENOID MUSCLES; THYROID-SURGERY; ELECTROMYOGRAPHY; IMPACT; VOICE; NEURORRHAPHY; EXPERIENCE AB IMPORTANCE Vocal fold immobility following injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) may lead to substantial morbidity. A reinnervation treatment strategy offers several theoretical benefits over static treatment options. This study evaluates the robustness of reinnervation of the larynx using a split-hypoglossal nerve graft in an animal model, with outcomes assessed by independent blinded review. OBJECTIVES To assess whether a full-hypoglossal nerve graft to the RLN after RLN section can provide return of dynamic vocal fold motion in a canine model, and to validate that a split-hypoglossal nerve graft to the RLN may also provide dynamic vocal fold motion to rehabilitate laryngeal function in a canine model. DESIGN, SETTING, AND SUBJECTS A pilot animal study to assess the feasibility and morbidity of laryngeal reinnervation following RLN injury with an end-to-end full-hypoglossal or split-hypoglossal nerve graft was performed at an animal care and research facility in 10 adult female dogs. The study dates were January to July 2013. INTERVENTIONS We performed full-hypoglossal (full XII group [n = 5]) and split-hypoglossal (split XII group [ n = 5]) nerve grafts to the RLN in a canine model following RLN section. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Morbidity was evaluated through scored feeding observation. Laryngeal function was assessed by video laryngoscopy and evoked laryngeal electromyography was performed at baseline and 6 months after surgery. Video laryngoscopy was graded by independent reviewers blinded to study intervention. RESULTS No clinically significant morbidity was identified after surgery. On review of video laryngoscopy, all 5 animals in the full XII group and all 5 animals in the split XII group demonstrated vocal fold motion by at least 1 independent reviewer. All 3 reviewers agreed on motion in 1 of 5 animals in the full XII group and in 1 of 5 animals in the split XII group. Stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve demonstrated neural connection on evoked laryngeal electromyography in all animals at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study confirms that a full-hypoglossal or split-hypoglossal nerve graft may restore vocal fold motion, without significant functional morbidity, following RLN section in a canine model.

TI Zoledronic acid administration failed to prevent bone loss at the knee in persons with acute spinal cord injury: an observational cohort study SO JOURNAL OF BONE AND MINERAL METABOLISM LA English DT Article DE Spinal cord injury; Zoledronate; Bisphosphonates; Osteoporosis; Knee ID X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY; DISUSE OSTEOPOROSIS; MINERAL DENSITY; PAMIDRONATE; TERM; IMMOBILIZATION; TURNOVER; FRACTURE; INDIVIDUALS; METABOLISM AB After acute spinal cord injury (SCI), rapid depletion of the sublesional skeleton occurs, particularly at the distal femur and proximal tibia. Subsequently, fragility fractures of the knee may occur. We determined the efficacy of zoledronic acid to prevent sublesional bone mineral density (BMD) loss at 6 and 12 months after acute SCI. Thirteen subjects with acute motor-complete SCI were prospectively studied: 6 patients received zoledronic acid (5 mg) and 7 subjects did not receive the drug (controls). Zoledronic acid was administered intravenously within 16 weeks of acute injury. Areal BMD was performed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline, 6, and 12 months after administration of drug. The treatment group demonstrated sparing of BMD at the total hip at month 6 (p < 0.0006) and at month 12 (p < 0.01). In contrast to the findings at the hip, the treatment group had a greater loss of BMD compared to the control group at the distal femur and proximal tibia at month 6 (-7.9 % +/- 3.4 vs.-2.7 % +/- 5.0, respectively, p = 0.054; and -10.5 % +/- 6.4 vs. -4.8 % +/- 6.8, respectively, p = NS) and at month 12 (-18.5 % +/- 3.9 vs. -8.4 % +/- 7.2, respectively, p = 0.01; and -20.4 % +/- 8.8 vs.-7.9 % +/- 12.3, respectively, p = 0.06). A single dose of zoledronic acid administered soon after acute SCI reduced the %BMD loss at the hip, but appeared to have no effect to prevent %BMD loss at the knee, the site where fracture risk is greatest in persons with SCI.

Current mechanisms underlying ARDS focus on alveolar endothelial and epithelial injury caused by products of innate immune cells and platelets. However, the role of adaptive immune cells in ARDS remains largely unknown. In this study, we report that expansion of Ag-specific alpha beta Th17 cells contributes to ARDS by local secretion of IL-17A, which in turn directly increases alveolar epithelial permeability. Mice with a highly restrictive defect in Ag-specific alpha beta Th17 cells were protected from experimental ARDS induced by a single dose of endotracheal LPS. Loss of IL-17 receptor C or Ab blockade of IL-17A was similarly protective, further suggesting that IL-17A released by these cells was responsible for this effect. LPS induced a rapid and specific clonal expansion of alpha beta Th17 cells in the lung, as determined by deep sequencing of the hypervariable CD3R beta VJ region of the TCR. Our findings could be relevant to ARDS in humans, because we found significant elevation of IL-17A in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with ARDS, and rIL-17A directly increased permeability across cultured human alveolar epithelial monolayers. These results reveal a previously unexpected role for adaptive immune responses that increase alveolar permeability in ARDS and suggest that alpha beta Th17 cells and IL-17A could be novel therapeutic targets for this currently untreatable disease.

Immune-based treatments exert an indirect anti-tumor effect by generating potent, tumor-targeting immune responses. Robust anti-tumor immune responses have been shown to achieve encouraging radiographic responses across the spectrum of applied immunotherapeutics which are felt to be indicative of a bona fide anti-tumor effect. Conversely, worsening of imaging findings, particularly early in the course of immunotherapy administration, can be challenging to interpret with growing evidence demonstrating that at least a subset of such patients ultimately will derive meaningful clinical benefit. The immune related response criteria were generated to provide guidance regarding the interpretation of such complex imaging findings, for general medical oncologists prescribing immunotherapeutics. An analogous effort that addresses challenges associated with imaging assessment and incorporates nuances associated with neuro-oncology patients is underway and is referred to as the immunotherapy response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria.

We hypothesize that fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) and the perianal examination in addition to blood tests provide important information during the screening process for IBD. The aim of the present study was to measure the diagnostic value of adding FOBT and perianal examination to standard screening laboratories in evaluating children and adolescents for IBD.Methods:The medical records of consecutive patients undergoing ileocolonoscopy for IBD were reviewed. Laboratory test results, FOBT, and perianal examination before the decision to perform the ileocolonoscopy were recorded. Standard limits of laboratory tests were used. Multivariate logistic regression was performed on a discovery cohort and applied to an independent validation cohort.Results:The discovery cohort included 335 patients (85 IBD and 250 non-IBD). A total of 61.2% had FOBT and perianal examination performed before the decision to perform the ileocolonoscopy. A total of 119 patients had complete blood testing, FOBT, and perianal examination available for full analysis. The sensitivity of the laboratory testing was 80.5% for IBD, and the sensitivity of FOBT with perianal examination was 66.9%. The combined sensitivity of laboratory testing and FOBT with perianal examination was, however, 97.6%. The most predictive model included C-reactive protein, platelet counts, and FOBT with perianal examination and was superior to the laboratory value-only model (P<0.001) that was validated in a separate cohort.Conclusions:Perianal examination and FOBT improve sensitivity in screening children for IBD.

MethodsRetrospective review of 54 patients undergoing nephrectomy for RPS was performed. Clinicopathologic and treatment characteristics, pre- and post-operative creatinine (Cr) values, and estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) were recorded. The primary outcome measure was progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage. ResultsMedian preoperative eGFR was 85ml/min. Post-nephrectomy, median nadir eGFR was 44ml/min, rebounding to 62ml/min at median follow-up of 50 months. Of 49 patients with preoperative eGFR 60ml/min (CKD stage 1,2), 51% preserved eGFR 60 postoperatively, whereas 49% progressed to CKD stage 3 (eGFR 30-59). Independent risk factors for progression of CKD stage were age and preoperative eGFR. Eleven patients died of recurrent disease, whereas no patient died of end stage renal disease (ESRD) or required dialysis. ConclusionsAlthough progression of CKD stage occurs in nearly one-half of patients followed for more than 4 years after nephrectomy for RPS, no patient progressed to ESRD or had a limitation in systemic therapy options, even with progression to CKD stage 3.

This is the first published case of von Hippel-Lindau (vHL) disease that developed renal cell carcinoma metastatic to an eye with a retinal hemangioblastoma. A 73-year-old woman had a history of vHL disease that included prior retinal hemangioblastomas, 2 cerebellar hemangioblastomas, and bilateral renal cell carcinomas with sacral metastasis. After presenting with progressive, painful proptosis secondary to a large mass observable by ocular CT, an enucleation-orbitotomy was performed, and the surgical specimen was sent for histopathological analysis. The ophthalmic renal metastatic tumor, like the primary tumor, was a clear cell variant that involved both the eyeball and orbit in continuity. The intraocular component was larger than the extraocular portion, which was interpreted as an outward extension of an initial retinal metastasis that probably first settled within a hemangioblastoma. Clusters of ectatic ghost vessels with thickened walls produced by periodic acid Schiff-positive, redundant basement membrane material were partially infiltrated by tumor cells at their periphery, thereby lending some support for this hypothesis. Immunohistochemical positivity for the biomarkers cytokeratin 18, vimentin, carbonic anhydrase IX, PAX2, and PAX 8 confirmed the diagnosis. The patient has refused further treatment. Her anophthalmic socket has comfortably retained a porous polyethylene implant without clinical evidence of local recurrence during 5 months of follow up.

MethodsA modified Delphi process was used to synthesize evidence-based recommendations. A multidisciplinary expert panel developed the algorithm, which was subsequently refined through an iterative process of input from a primary care physician panel. ResultsWe present an algorithm and supportive materials to help guide the care of older adults with MP, an important contributor to chronic low back pain (CLBP). Addressing any perpetuating factors should be the first step of managing MP. Patients should be educated on self-care approaches, home exercise, and the use of safe analgesics when indicated. Trigger point deactivation can be accomplished by manual therapy, injection therapy, dry needling, and/or acupuncture. ConclusionsThe algorithm presented gives a structured approach to guide primary care providers in planning treatment for patients with MP as a contributor to CLBP.

Although they are rare, immunocompromised individuals are at a higher risk of CA undergoing transformation into invasive anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). These patients need aggressive evaluation and management. Treatment of CA is challenging, particularly for immunocompromised hosts, in whom warts are resistant to treatment and commonly recur. Currently, there is no gold standard treatment for CA, especially in children and immunodeficient individuals. We report the case of a 15-year-old immunocompromised girl with severe recalcitrant condyloma that resolved after a course of systemic 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin C, and radiation therapy for SCC.

Methods A randomized survey experiment was conducted with a nationally-representative web-based survey research panel (GfK KnowledgePanel). Participants were randomly assigned to read different messages alone or in combination: 1) factual information about naloxone; 2) pre-emptive refutation of potential concerns about naloxone distribution; and 3) a sympathetic narrative about a mother whose daughter died of an opioid overdose. Participants were then asked if they support or oppose policies related to naloxone distribution. For each policy item, logistic regression models were used to test the effect of each message exposure compared with the no-exposure control group. Results The final sample consisted of 1,598 participants (completion rate: 72.6%). Factual information and the sympathetic narrative alone each led to higher support for training first responders to use naloxone, providing naloxone to friends and family members of people using opioids, and passing laws to protect people who administer naloxone. Participants receiving the combination of the sympathetic narrative and factual information, compared to factual information alone, were more likely to support all policies: providing naloxone to friends and family members (OR: 2.0 [95% CI: 1.4 to 2.9]), training first responders to use naloxone (OR: 2.0 [95% CI: 1.2 to 3.4]), passing laws to protect people if they administer naloxone (OR: 1.5 [95% CI: 1.04 to 2.2]), and passing laws to protect people if they call for medical help for an overdose (OR: 1.7 [95% CI: 1.2 to 2.5]). Conclusions All messages increased public support, but combining factual information and the sympathetic narrative was most effective. Public support for naloxone distribution can be improved through education and sympathetic portrayals of the population who stands to benefit from these policies.

TI Mitral Annular and Coronary Artery Calcification Are Associated with Mortality in HIV-Infected Individuals SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID BEAM COMPUTED-TOMOGRAPHY; ACUTE MYOCARDIAL-INFARCTION; ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY; COMBINATION ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY; IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS-INFECTION; INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS; VALVE CALCIFICATION; PROGNOSTIC VALUE; PREDICTIVE-VALUE; CALCIUM SCORE AB Background HIV infection increases cardiovascular risk. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) and mitral annular calcification (MAC) identify patients at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the association between MAC, CAC and mortality in HIV-infected individuals. Methods and Results We studied 152 asymptomatic HIV-infected individuals with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and computed tomography (CT). MAC was identified on TTE using standardized criteria. Presence of CAC, CAC score and CAC percentiles were determined using the modified Agatston criteria. Mortality data was obtained from the Social Security and National Death Indices (SSDI/NDI). The median age was 49 years; 87% were male. The median duration of HIV was 16 years; 84% took antiretroviral therapy; 64% had an undetectable viral load. CVD risk factors included hypertension (35%), smoking (62%) and dyslipidemia (35%). Twenty-five percent of individuals had MAC, and 42% had CAC. Over a median follow-up of 8 years, 11 subjects died. Subjects with CAC had significantly higher mortality compared to those with MAC only or no MAC. The Harrell's C-statistic of CAC was 0.66 and increased to 0.75 when MAC was added (p = 0.05). MAC, prior CVD, age and HIV viral load were independently associated with higher age-and gender-adjusted CAC percentiles in an adjusted model (p < 0.05 for all). Conclusion In HIV patients, the presence of MAC, traditional risk factors and HIV viral load were independently associated with CAC. Presence of CAC and MAC may be useful in identifying HIV-infected individuals at higher risk for death. C1 [Lange, David C.] Cedars Sinai Med Ctr, Dept Med, Div Cardiol, Los Angeles, CA 90048 USA.

Despite the resurgence of early tourniquet use for control of exsanguinating limb hemorrhage in the military setting, its appropriate role in civilian emergency medical services (EMS) has been less clear. Objective. To describe the experience of prehospital tourniquet use in an urban, civilian EMS setting. Methods. A retrospective review of EMS prehospital care reports was performed from January 1, 2005 to December 1, 2012. Data, including the time duration of prehospital tourniquet placement, EMS scene time, mechanisms of injury, and patient demographics, underwent descriptive analysis. Outcomes data for participating receiving hospitals were also reviewed. Results. Ninety-eight cases of prehospital tourniquet use were identified. The most common causes of injury were penetrating gunshot or stabbing wounds (67.4%, 66/98); 7.1% (7/98) of cases were due to blunt trauma; 23.5% (23/98) of cases were from non-traumatic hemorrhage related to uncontrolled hemodialysis shunt or wound bleeding; 45.4% (44/97) of cases were placed on a lower extremity; 54.6% (53/97) were placed on an upper extremity Placement was successful in hemorrhage control in 91% (87/95, 95%CI: 85.9-97.3%) of cases. The average prehospital tourniquet placement time was 14.9 minutes. Half of all tourniquet placements were performed by basic life support providers. Hospital follow-up was available for 96.9% (95/98) of cases. Of these, the tourniquet was removed by EMS in 3.2% (3/95), the emergency department in 54.7% (52/95), or in the operating room (OR) in 31.6% (30/95) of the time; 46.7% (14/30) of these OR cases had a documented vascular injury needing repair. Ten deaths with hospital follow-up data were identified, none of which were due to tourniquet use. There was one case of forearm numbness potentially due to nerve injury and one case with potential vascular complication, representing an overall complication rate of 2.1% (2/95). Conclusion. The early use of tourniquets for extremity hemorrhage in an urban civilian EMS setting appears to be safe, with complications occurring infrequently.

Our objective was to describe characteristics of women veterans and resumption of VA care after delivery by use of VA prenatal benefits. Study design: We used data from the National Survey of Women Veterans, a population-based survey. VA-eligible women veterans with at least one live birth who had ever used VA and were younger than 45 years when VA pre-natal benefits became available were categorized based on self-reported receipt of VA prenatal benefits. Characteristics of by use of VA prenatal benefits were compared using chi(2) tests with Rao-Scott adjustment. All analyses used sampling weights. Results: In our analytic sample, of those who potentially had the opportunity to use VA prenatal benefits, 25% used these benefits and 75% did not. Compared with women veterans not using VA prenatal benefits, those who did were more likely to be 18 to 24 years old (39.9% vs. 3.7%; p = .03), and more likely to have self-reported diagnosed depression (62.5% vs. 24.5%; p = .02) and current depression or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms (depression, 46.1% vs. 8% [ p - .02]; PTSD, 52.5% vs. 14.8% [ p - .02]). Compared with women veterans not using VA prenatal benefits, those who did were more likely to resume VA use after delivery (p < .001). Conclusion: Pregnant women veterans who use VA prenatal benefits are a high-risk group. Among those who opt not to use these benefits, pregnancy is an important point of attrition from VA health care, raising concerns regarding retention of women veterans within VA and continuity of care.

TI Association of Restraint and Disinhibition to Gestational Weight Gain among Pregnant Former Smokers SO WOMENS HEALTH ISSUES LA English DT Article ID POSTPARTUM SMOKING RELAPSE; BODY-MASS INDEX; DIETARY RESTRAINT; EATING BEHAVIORS; WOMEN; CESSATION; BIRTH; INTERVENTIONS; MANAGEMENT; BRAZIL AB Introduction: Gaining excessive weight during pregnancy is associated with immediate maternal and fetal complications as well as longer term obesity. Prepregnancy body mass index, age, and smoking cessation have been related to gestational weight gain (GWG); however, less is known about how eating behaviors, that may be amenable to modification and have been related to weight gain outside of pregnancy, affect GWG. Methods: The present study evaluated the relationship of dietary restraint and disinhibition to GWG in a sample of women (n = 248) who quit smoking before or early in pregnancy. Women self-reported height and prepregnancy weight during their third trimester. GWG was calculated by subtracting prepregnancy weight from third trimester weight. The Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire assessed restraint and disinhibition. Results: Average GWG was 14.60 (+/- 7.64) kg and 47% of women had a GWG greater than the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Linear regression models were used to examine restraint and disinhibition as correlates of GWG, and multinomial logistic regressions were utilized to determine whether eating behaviors were associated with inadequate or excessive GWG. Restraint was associated positively with total GWG, but disinhibition was not associated with GWG. Thus, conscious attempts to restrict intake were associated with GWG beyond the influence of covariates. Conclusion: These findings highlight the potential influence of modifiable eating behaviors on GWG and demonstrate the need for additional research to determine how these behaviors relate to GWG over the course of pregnancy.

TI Alcohol-Specific Coping Styles of Adult Children of Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorders and Associations with Psychosocial Functioning SO ALCOHOL AND ALCOHOLISM LA English DT Article ID PARENTAL ALCOHOL; COMMUNITY SAMPLE; FAMILY-HISTORY; YOUNG-ADULTS; PERSONALITY; DRUG; LIFE; DRINKING; EVENTS; SYMPTOMATOLOGY AB Parental alcohol use disorders (AUDs) have been conceptualized as a chronic stressor that can lead to deleterious long-term outcomes in children of individuals with AUDs. Yet, while many individuals are detrimentally affected by their parents' problematic alcohol use, and go on to manifest psychological problems, others do not. How individuals cope with the stress of having a parent with an AUD is believed to be an important moderator of this differential outcome. This study assessed whether individuals' alcohol-specific coping styles predicted alcohol use, positive or negative life events, and depression, using a sample of 465 college students, of whom 20% were adult children of individuals with alcohol use disorders, colloquially known as adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs), and a battery of well-validated, self-report measures. Participant ACOAs reported less 'engaged' and 'total' alcohol-specific coping strategies and more 'withdrawal' alcohol-specific coping strategies than their non adult children of alcoholics (NACOAs) counterparts. Across participants, women reported more 'engaged', 'tolerant/inactive', and 'total' coping than men. Although ACOAs reported significantly more negative life events, which predicted more passive coping styles, they did not differ significantly from NACOAs on measures of problematic alcohol use or depression, supporting theories of resilience in ACOAs regardless of their alcohol-specific coping styles. For NACOAs, 'tolerant' coping predicted greater depression and alcohol-related problems; 'engaged' coping predicted fewer alcohol problems. Results suggest that ACOAs cope differently with problematic alcohol use among relatives and friends compared with NACOAs and are more likely to experience negative life events. Additionally, alcohol-related coping strategies have more predictive utility in NACOAs than ACOAs. C1 [Drapkin, Michelle L.] Philadelphia VA Med Ctr, Philadelphia, PA USA.

TI Genetic Predisposition to Dyslipidemia and Risk of Preeclampsia SO AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HYPERTENSION LA English DT Article DE blood pressure; dyslipidemia; genetic epidemiology; genetic risk score; hypertension; preeclampsia ID GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; METAANALYSIS; HYPERTENSION; ECLAMPSIA; PREGNANCY; COMMON; WOMEN; PATHOGENESIS; POPULATION; VARIANTS AB BACKGROUND Large epidemiologic studies support the role of dyslipidemia in preeclampsia; however, the etiology of preeclampsia or whether dyslipidemia plays a causal role remains unclear. We examined the association between the genetic predisposition to dyslipidemia and risk of preeclampsia using validated genetic markers of dyslipidemia. METHODS Preeclampsia cases (n = 164) and normotensive controls (n = 110) were selected from live birth certificates to nulliparous Iowa women during the period August 2002 to May 2005. Disease status was verified by medical chart review. Genetic predisposition to dyslipidemia was estimated by 4 genetic risk scores (GRS) (total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides) on the basis of established loci for blood lipids. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationships between each of the 4 genotype scores and preeclampsia. Replication analyses were performed in an independent, US population of preeclampsia cases (n = 516) and controls (n = 1,097) of European ancestry. RESULTS The GRS related to higher levels of TC, LDL-C, and triglycerides demonstrated no association with the risk of preeclampsia in either the Iowa or replication population. The GRS related to lower HDL-C was marginally associated with an increased risk for preeclampsia (odds ratio (OR) = 1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.99-1.07; P = 0.10). In the independent replication population, the association with the HDL-C GRS was also marginally significant (OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00-1.06; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest a potential effect between the genetic predisposition to dyslipidemic levels of HDL-C and an increased risk of preeclampsia, and, as such, suggest that dyslipidemia may be a component along the causal pathway to preeclampsia.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements A subset of participants with normoalbuminutia (n=204) or microalbumimuia (n=166) from the First Joslin Kidney Study underwent assessment for cardiac autonomic neuropathy using heart rate variability during baseline visits performed from January 1991 to April1992. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy was defined as an R-R variation (mean circular resultant) <20. Participants also had baseline and follow-up measurement of eGFR. Early progressive renal decline was evaluated according to two definitions: early GFR loss (slope of eGFR estimated by cystatin C <-3.3%/year) and incident advanced CKD (stage >= 3 defined by eGFR [calculated by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease method] <60 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)). Association with baseline cardiac autonomic neuropathy was assessed by adjusted logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards. Results Among the 370 participants, 47 (13%) had baseline cardiac autonomic neuropathy, 51 (14%) had early GFR loss, and 68(18%) had incident advanced CKD over a median 14-year follow-up. Early GFR loss occurred in 15 (32%) of the 47 patients with baseline autonomic neuropathy and in 32 (10%) of the 323 without baseline autonomic neuropathy (P<0.001). Baseline autonomic neuropathy was strongly associated with odds of early GFR loss (adjusted odds ratio, 4.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.65 to 10.12; P=0.002). Incident advanced CKD was observed in 22 (47%) of those with baseline autonomic neuropathy and 46 (14%) of those without baseline autonomic neuropathy (P<0.001). Autonomic neuropathy was independently associated with incident advanced CKD (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.76; 95% confidence interval, 1.44 to 5.30; P=0.002). Conclusions Cardiac autonomic neuropathy was a strong independent predictor of the long-term risk of early progressive renal decline in type 1 diabetes. Future research should explore the mechanisms by which autonomic neuropathy may be associated with renal function loss.

TI Validation of a Measure of Alliance for an Adolescent Inpatient Setting SO CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY & PSYCHOTHERAPY LA English DT Article DE Adolescents; Alliance; Inpatient; I-TAS; SOS-10 ID THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE; MENTAL-HEALTH; PSYCHOTHERAPY AB The link between alliance and treatment outcome is robust. Nevertheless, few, if any, self-report measures exist to assess the alliance between hospitalized adolescents and their treatment team as a whole. The present study looks to extend the use of a brief self-report measure of inpatient treatment alliance designed for adult inpatients to be used with adolescents. The scale is designed incorporating items that tap the three factors of alliance (bond, goals and collaboration) to assess the alliance that the patient has with his or her treatment team. Our results show that the Inpatient-Treatment Alliance Scale is unifactoral, shows good psychometrics and is linked in theoretically meaningful ways to global clinician ratings of engagement in individual psychotherapy. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Key Practitioner Message Inpatient treatment of adolescents requires the assessment of alliance to be between the patient and his or her treatment team rather than an individual clinician. Assessment of the alliance can benefit clinicians treating hospitalized adolescents especially because these patients are difficult to engage with in treatment. This study shows that the Inpatient-Treatment Alliance Scale is a promising measure for assessing treatment alliance on an adolescent inpatient setting.

TI Brief report: the length of newly diagnosed Barrett's esophagus may be decreasing SO DISEASES OF THE ESOPHAGUS LA English DT Article DE Barrett's esophagus; epidemiological study; esophageal adenocarcinoma; length; risk factor; Veterans Affair ID HIGH-GRADE DYSPLASIA; RISK-FACTORS; PRAGUE C; ADENOCARCINOMA; THERAPY; TRENDS; METAANALYSIS; VALIDATION; CRITERIA; CANCER AB Few studies have examined the temporal trends of length in newly diagnosed Barrett's esophagus (BE) and arrived at conflicting results. The aim of this study was to identify whether there has been a change over time in the length of BE at the time of diagnosis. This is a retrospective, single-center, observational study from Houston, Texas on newly diagnosed BE between 2008 and 2013. All cases were defined by the presence of endoscopically visible BE and histologic confirmation of intestinalized columnar epithelium with goblet cells. The length of BE was measured using the Prague classification. We examined temporal changes in 1-year intervals in the length of BE at the time of diagnosis. Both the frequency and mean length of BE at diagnosis seemed to decrease over time from February 2008 to July 2013. The proportion of patients diagnosed with BE 3cm per year declined during the study period, while the proportion of patients with BE 1 and <3cm increased, and those with <1cm remained stable. The mean age and the gender of patients diagnosed with BE 3cm did not differ significantly by BE length or year of diagnosis. The mean length of newly diagnosed BE may be decreasing as a result of a decline in BE 3cm. These observations cannot be explained by changes in age and gender. C1 [Nguyen, T.; El-Serag, H.

This study investigated kinetics and biodistribution of MTX delivered topically by ablative fractional laser (AFXL). Methods: In vitro passive diffusion of 10 mg/ml MTX (1 w/v%) was measured from 0.25 to 24 h through AFXL-processed and intact porcine skin in Franz Cells (n = 46). A 2,940 nm fractional Erbium Yttrium Aluminium Garnet laser generated mid-dermal microchannels at 2.4% density, and 256 mJ/microchannel. HPLC quantified MTX-concentrations in extracts from mid-dermal skin sections, donor and receiver compartments. Fluorescence microscopy of UVC-activated MTX-fluorescence and desorption electro-spray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DM-MSI) evaluated MTX biodistribution. Results: AFXL-processed skin facilitated rapid MTX delivery through cone-shaped nnicrochannels of 690 pm ablation depth, lined by the 47 mu m thermal coagulation zone (CZ). Quantitatively, MIX was detectable by HPLC in mid-dermis after 15 min, significantly exceeded deposition in intact skin after 1.5 h, and saturated skin after 7 h at a 10-fold increased MTX-deposition versus intact skin (3.08 vs 0.30 mg/cm(3), p = 0.002). Transdermal permeation was < 1.5% of applied MTX before skin saturation, and increased up to 8.0% after 24 h. Qualitatively, MTX distributed into CZ within 15 min (p = 0.015) and further into surrounding dermal tissue after 1.5 h (p = 0.004). After skin saturation at 7 h, MTX fluorescence intensities in CZ and tissue were similar and DESI-MSI confirmed MIX biodistribution throughout the mid-dermal skin section. Conclusions: MIX absorbs rapidly into mid-dermis of AFXL-processed skin with minimal transdermal permeation until skin saturation, suggesting a possible alternative to systemic MIX for some skin disorders.

TI Carbon nanotubes part I: preparation of a novel and versatile drug-delivery vehicle SO EXPERT OPINION ON DRUG DELIVERY LA English DT Review DE addition reaction; carbon nanotubes; functional group; functionalization; purification; synthesis ID CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION; SOLID-PHASE EXTRACTION; HYDROGEN-ARC-DISCHARGE; LOW-TEMPERATURE GROWTH; LARGE-SCALE SYNTHESIS; LOW-COST SYNTHESIS; LOW-PRESSURE AIR; PROTEIN IMMOBILIZATION; FIELD-EMISSION; CANCER-CELLS AB Introduction: It is 23 years since carbon allotrope known as carbon nanotubes (CNT) was discovered by lijima, who described them as "rolled graphite sheets inserted into each other". Since then, CNTs have been studied in nanoelectronic devices. However, CNTs also possess the versatility to act as drug- and gene-delivery vehicles. Areas covered: This review covers the synthesis, purification and functionalization of CNTs. Arc discharge, laser ablation and chemical vapor deposition are the principle synthesis methods. Non-covalent functionalization relies on attachment of biomolecules by coating the CNT with surfactants, synthetic polymers and biopolymers. Covalent functionalization often involves the initial introduction of carboxylic acids or amine groups, diazonium addition, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or reductive alkylation. The aim is to produce functional groups to attach the active cargo. Expert opinion: In this review, the feasibility of CNT being used as a drug-delivery vehicle is explored. The molecular composition of CNT is extremely hydrophobic and highly aggregation-prone. Therefore, most of the efforts towards drug delivery has centered on chemical functionalization, which is usually divided in two categories; non-covalent and covalent. The biomedical applications of CNT are growing apace, and new drug-delivery technologies play a major role in these efforts.

When CNT are suitably functionalized, they can interact with various cell types and are taken up by endocytosis. Areas covered: Anti-cancer drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin have been delivered by CNT, as well as nnethotrexate, taxol and gemcitabine. The delivery of the antifungal compound annphotericin B and the oral administration of erythropoietin have both been assisted using CNT. Frequently, targeting moieties such as folic acid, epidermal growth factor or various antibodies are attached to the CNT-drug nanovehicle. Different kinds of functionalization (e.g., polycations) have been used to allow CNT to act as gene delivery vectors. Plasmid DNA, small interfering RNA and micro-RNA have all been delivered by CNT vehicles. Significant concerns are raised about the nanotoxicology of the CNT and their potentially damaging effects on the environment. Expert opinion: CNT-mediated drug delivery has been studied for over a decade, and both in vitro and in vivo studies have been reported. The future success of CNTs as vectors in vivo and in clinical application will depend on achievement of efficacious therapy with minimal adverse effects and avoidance of possible toxic and environmentally damaging effects.

TI OCT angiography and sequential quantitative analysis of type 2 neovascularization after ranibizumab therapy SO EYE LA English DT Article ID OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY; CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION; MACULAR DEGENERATION; MOTION CORRECTION AB Purpose To study the precise structural aspects of a type 2 neovascular membrane in a patient with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography and perform sequential quantitative analysis of the membrane after ranibizumab therapy. Patients and methods Split-spectrum amplitude-decorrelation (SSADA) OCT angiography macular cubes (3x3 mm) were acquired with a light source centered at 840 nm, a bandwidth of 45 nm, and an A-scan-rate of 70 000 scans per second. Visible pathologic vessels were outlined manually on average intensity projection en face images, and the area of the lesion and the vessel density were measured at baseline and follow-up. Results At baseline, the neovascular lesion measured 4.12 mm(2) and the vessel density was 19.83 mm(-1). Four weeks after the first, and 2 and 4 weeks after the second ranibizumab injection, OCT angiography revealed a progressively smaller vascular lesion (2.32, 1.77 and 1.64 mm(2)), and vessel density (10.24, 8.52 and 7.57 mm(-1)), although the large central trunks of the lesion were unchanged. Conclusions In this study, an obvious reduction in size and vessel density of the neovascular lesion was noted after treatment with ranibizumab using SSADA OCT angiography technology. Microvascular components can be delineated with precision, suggesting that this technique may be useful for the management of patients with neovascular AMD in a clinical setting as well as for future clinical trials.

Studies aimed at examining the potential for comorbidity have suffered from various methodological problems, including the existence of very few community samples, highly variable exclusionary criteria, and possible clinical misinterpretation of symptoms. Despite numerous studies suggesting an ADHD-OCD comorbidity, thus far etiological (i.e., genetic) backing has been provided only for a pediatric comorbidity. Additionally, inflated rates of ADHD-OCD co-occurrence may be mediated by the presence of tic disorders, and evidence of impaired neuronal maturational processes in pediatric OCD may lead to possibly transient phenotypical expressions that resemble ADHD symptomatology. Thus, clinicians are encouraged to consider the possibility that ADHD-like symptoms resulting from OCD-specific symptomatology may be misdiagnosed as ADHD. This suggestion may account for the lower co-occurrence rates reported in adolescents and adults and for the lack of a theoretical account for comorbidity in these age groups. Existing literature is summarized and critically reviewed, and recommendations are made for future research. C1 [Abramovitch, Amitai; Wilhelm, Sabine] Harvard Univ, Sch Med, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA.

TI Profibrotic transforming growth factor beta 1 and activin A are increased in nasal polyp tissue and induced in nasal polyp epithelium by cigarette smoke and Toll-like receptor 3 ligation SO INTERNATIONAL FORUM OF ALLERGY & RHINOLOGY LA English DT Article DE nasal polyposis; chronic rhinosinusitis; epithelium; inflammation; profibrotic; transforming growth factor beta 1; TGF-beta 1; Activin A; cigarette smoke; Toll-like receptor 3; TLR 3; airway remodeling ID MESENCHYMAL TRANSITION; CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS; FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE; MESSENGER-RNA; EXPRESSION; CELLS; ASTHMA; TRANSFORMING-GROWTH-FACTOR-BETA-1; INFLAMMATION; EOSINOPHILS AB BackgroundThe mechanism of airway remodeling in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) remains unknown. We wished to determine whether profibrotic transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-1) and activin A and their downstream signaling proteins are increased in CRSwNP and if they are regulated in epithelial cells by noxious or inflammatory stimuli. MethodsFrozen tissue from CRSwNP patients, healthy control (HC) middle turbinates, and sinus tissue from CRS without NP (CRSsNP) patients were immunostained for TGF-1, activin A, and downstream signaling proteins. Primary nasal epithelial cells (PNECs) from HCs and CRSwNP patients were cultured in media, cigarette smoke extract (CSE), or double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) (a ligand for Toll-like receptor-3) and examined for inflammatory and profibrotic genes using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ResultsCRSwNP patients showed increased TGF-1 and activin A in the stroma, increased TGF-1 signaling (phosphorylated Smad2/3) in the stroma and epithelium, and increased Smad3-dependent Snail1 in the stroma. Immunostaining for TGF-1, pSmad2/3, and Snail1 in CRSwNP patients was highly correlated. Immunostaining for pSmad2/3 and Snail1 was similar in CRSwNP and CRSsNP patients. Compared to HCs, PNECs from CRSwNP patients were more responsive to CSE and dsRNA in terms of TGF-1 and activin A and more strongly induced by dsRNA in terms of chemokines. ConclusionIncreased TGF-1 and activin A and increased downstream TGF-1 signaling is present in CRSwNP patients, primarily in the stroma. This may contribute to features of airway remodeling previously described. PNECs from CRSwNP patients are induced to produce TGF-1 and activin A by CSE and dsRNA, suggesting that cigarette smoke and viral infection might also contribute to airway remodeling.

TI A simple, single stage technique to harvest optimal ethmoid bone grafts for caudal septal deflections SO INTERNATIONAL FORUM OF ALLERGY & RHINOLOGY LA English DT Article ID BATTEN GRAFT; ENDOSCOPIC SEPTOPLASTY; DEVIATION; CORRECT AB BackgroundCurvature of the caudal septum is a challenging area to surgically address because it is a tip supporting structure. Several methods to straighten the caudal septal deviation have been described to date. One commonly described technique is the placement of a bony septal batten graft. However, the harvest and subsequent ex vivo shaping of the bone graft can be difficult and lead to fracture of the graft superstructure. Here we discuss a novel single stage endoscopic approach to harvest a preformed batten graft and apply it to correct a caudal septal curvature deformity. MethodsDescription of a novel endoscopic technique for the single stage harvest of a bone graft for the correction of a caudal septal deflection utilizing an open Jansen-Middleton septum forceps. ResultsWe have successfully utilized this technique in 10 patients with a caudal septal curvature deformity with no complications. All patients had symptomatic improvement of nasal obstruction symptoms. ConclusionThe open Jansen-Middleton septum forceps allow for a reproducible, single stage, harvest of a bone graft from the perpendicular plate or vomer when addressing a caudal septal deformity using an endoscopic septoplasty approach.

TI Biofilm-forming bacteria and quality of life improvement after sinus surgery SO INTERNATIONAL FORUM OF ALLERGY & RHINOLOGY LA English DT Article DE chronic rhinosinusitis; quality of life; biofilm; bacteria; functional endoscopic sinus surgery ID CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS; ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE; BACTERIOLOGICAL FINDINGS; MAXILLARY SINUSITIS; SUSCEPTIBILITY; INFECTIONS; MICROSCOPY; OUTCOMES; TRENDS AB BackgroundIt remains unclear how much chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients with bacterial biofilms can benefit from functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). We aimed to evaluate whether biofilm-forming bacteria was associated with quality of life (QOL) improvement after FESS. MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included adult CRS patients who underwent FESS from 2008 to 2011. Sinus samples were taken to evaluate for biofilm-formation in vitro using a modified Calgary Biofilm Detection Assay. QOL was measured before FESS, and 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month after FESS using 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores. Patients' characteristics and medications were collected. Clinical significant QOL change was defined as a difference of at least 0.5 standard deviation (SD) of baseline SNOT-22 score in the reference group. ResultsA total of 156 patients had complete data, and 15% had biofilm-forming bacteria (n = 24). Patients with biofilm-forming bacteria had significantly worse preoperative SNOT-22 scores compared to patients without biofilm-forming bacteria (48 20 vs 38 +/- 23, p = 0.048). Both groups had clinically significant QOL improvement after FESS, and the differences in their 1-month (23 +/- 19 vs 17 +/- 20) and 3-month (27 +/- 18 vs 18 +/- 19) post-FESS SNOT-22 scores were not significant. However, patients with biofilm-forming bacteria demonstrated significantly less QOL improvement than patients without biofilm-forming bacteria from pre-FESS to 6-month post-FESS visits after adjusting for clinical factors (35 +/- 25 vs 14 +/- 15; -coefficient = 0.71; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13 to 1.28; p = 0.016). ConclusionCRS patients with biofilm-forming bacteria demonstrated clinically significant QOL improvement following FESS, but the degree of improvement was decreased overtime and became significantly worse than patients without biofilm-forming bacteria by 6-month follow-up. This QOL worsening was independent of other risk factors for CRS. (C) 2015 ARS-AAOA, LLC.

When recovery is not complete, facial mimetic function lies on a spectrum ranging from flaccid paralysis to hyperkinesis resulting in facial immobility. Through systematic assessment of the face at rest and with movement, one may tailor the management to the particular pattern of dysfunction. Interventions for long-standing facial palsy include physical therapy, injectables, and surgical reanimation procedures. The goal of the management is to restore facial balance and movement. This article summarizes a contemporary approach to the management of facial nerve insults. C1 [Jowett, Nate] Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirm, Dept Otolaryngol, Boston, MA 02114 USA.

This literature review summarizes the literature on advanced quantitative imaging measures reported for patients with NMO spectrum disorder, including proton MR spectroscopy, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetization transfer imaging, quantitative MR voltametry, and ultrahigh-field strength MRI. It was undertaken to consider the advanced MRI techniques used for patients with NMO different specialists in the field. Although quantitative measures such as proton MR spectroscopy or magnetization transfer imaging have not reproducibly revealed diffuse brain injury, preliminary data from diffusion-weighted imaging and brain tissue volumetry indicate greater white matter than gray matter degradation. These findings could be confirmed by ultrahigh-field MRI. The use of nonconventional MR I techniques may further our understanding of the pathogenic processes hi NMO spectrum disorders and may help us identify the distinct radiographic features corresponding to specific phenotypic manifestations of this disease.

CA Low Vision Res Network Study Grp TI Clinically Meaningful Rehabilitation Outcomes of Low Vision Patients Served by Outpatient Clinical Centers SO JAMA OPHTHALMOLOGY LA English DT Article ID QUALITY-OF-LIFE; VISUAL DISABILITY VARIABLES; RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; MACULAR DEGENERATION; INTERVENTION TRIAL; SERVICE; QUESTIONNAIRE; PARTICIPATION; DIFFICULTY; PEOPLE AB IMPORTANCE To facilitate comparative clinical outcome research in low vision rehabilitation, we must use patient-centered measurements that reflect clinically meaningful changes in visual ability. OBJECTIVE To quantify the effects of currently provided low vision rehabilitation (LVR) on patients who present for outpatient LVR services in the United States. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Prospective, observational study of new patients seeking outpatient LVR services. From April 2008 through May 2011, 779 patients from 28 clinical centers in the United States were enrolled in the Low Vision Rehabilitation Outcomes Study. The Activity Inventory, a visual function questionnaire, was administered to measure overall visual ability and visual ability in 4 functional domains (reading, mobility, visual motor function, and visual information processing) at baseline and 6 to 9 months after usual LVR care. The Geriatric Depression Scale, Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status, and Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey physical functioning questionnaires were also administered to measure patients' psychological, cognitive, and physical health states, respectively, and clinical findings of patients were provided by study centers. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Mean changes in the study population and minimum clinically important differences in the individual in overall visual ability and in visual ability in 4 functional domains as measured by the Activity Inventory. RESULTS Baseline and post-rehabilitation measures were obtained for 468 patients. Minimum clinically important differences (95% CIs) were observed in nearly half (47%[95% CI, 44%-50%]) of patients in overall visual ability. The prevalence rates of patients with minimum clinically important differences in visual ability in functional domains were reading (44%[95% CI, 42%-48%]), visual motor function (38%[95% CI, 36%-42%]), visual information processing (33%[95% CI, 31%-37%]), and mobility (27%[95% CI, 25%-31%]). The largest average effect size (Cohen d = 0.87) for the population was observed in overall visual ability. Age (P = .006) was an independent predictor of changes in overall visual ability, and logMAR visual acuity (P = .002) was predictive of changes in visual information processing. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Forty-four to fifty percent of patients presenting for outpatient LVR show clinically meaningful differences in overall visual ability after LVR, and the average effect sizes in overall visual ability are large, close to 1 SD.

The literature regarding antibiotic use for eyelid surgery is lacking. OBJECTIVES To determine standard care and assess factors influencing antibiotic prescribing practices for eyelid surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A survey study was conducted from February 2, 2014, to March 24, 2014. The survey was distributed to 2397 oculoplastic surgeons in private and academic oculoplastic surgery practices in 43 countries. All surgeons were members of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery societies. Data were analyzed by geographic location. Linear regression was performed to quantify contributions to rates of prescribing postoperative antibiotics for routine eyelid surgical procedures. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Rates of prescribing prophylactic intravenous, oral, and topical antibiotics as well as factors that influence surgeons' prescribing practices. RESULTS A total of 782 responses were received from 2397 surgeons (average response rate, 36.7%; 2.5% margin of error) from 43 countries. Topical antibiotic use was common in all regions (85.2%). Perioperative intravenous antibiotic use was uncommon in all regions (13.5%). Geographic location was the greatest predictor of antibiotic prescribing practices (range, 2.9% in the United Kingdom to 86.7% in India; mean, 24%). Within Europe, Italy had the highest rate of antibiotic prescriptions for eyelid surgery (41.7%) and the United Kingdom had the lowest rate (2.9%.) In South America, Venezuela had the highest rate of antibiotic prescriptions for eyelid surgery (83.3%) and Chile had the lowest rate (0%). The practice locations that were associated with routinely prescribing postoperative oral antibiotics were India (odds ratio [OR], 15.83; 95% CI, 4.85-51.68; P < .001), Venezuela (OR, 13.47; 95% CI, 1.43-127.19; P = .02), and Southeast Asia (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.15-6.84; P = .02). Conversely, practice location in the United Kingdom (OR, 0.048; 95% CI, 0.0063-0.37; P = .004), Australia and New Zealand (OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.033-0.67; P = .01), and the United States and Canada (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.23-0.72; P = .002) were associated with decreased rates of postoperative oral antibiotic use. Surgeons' concern for allergic reactions was associated with decreased rates of prescribing antibiotics (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.23-0.49; P < .001), while surgeons' concern for infection was associated with increased rates of prescribing antibiotics (OR 1.80; 95% CI, 1.45-2.23; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These results from members of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery societies confirm that antibiotic prescribing practices for routine eyelid surgical procedures vary widely throughout the world. No standard of care has been established that would require the routine use of postoperative prophylactic antibiotics following eyelid surgery.

TI Long-term Risk of Melanoma-Related Mortality for Patients With Uveal Melanoma Treated With Proton Beam Therapy SO JAMA OPHTHALMOLOGY LA English DT Article ID COLLABORATIVE OCULAR MELANOMA; CHOROIDAL MELANOMA; SURVIVAL RATES; IODINE-125 BRACHYTHERAPY; FOLLOW-UP; ENUCLEATION; TRIAL; DEATH; PLAQUE AB IMPORTANCE Little is known about the long-term risk of dying of uveal melanoma after treatment with radiotherapy. OBJECTIVE To determine the long-term risk of dying of this disease, we evaluated melanoma-related mortality rates up to 25 years after proton beam therapy in a large series of patients with uveal melanoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this analysis, we included 3088 patients with uveal melanoma, identified from a hospital-based cohort and treated with proton irradiation between January 1975 and December 2005. Vital status and cause of death were ascertained through active follow-up and searches of government databases (the Social Security Death Index and the National Death Index) through December 31, 2008. Cumulative rates of melanoma-related mortality were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Patient and tumor characteristics of known prognostic significance for melanoma-associated death were evaluated, including patient age and tumor dimensions. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome measure was cumulative rates of melanoma-specific mortality, and secondary measures included annual melanoma-specific mortality hazard rates and cumulative all-cause mortality rates. RESULTS Of 1490 deceased patients, 620 (41.6%) died of ocular melanoma. In addition, 19 patients were alive, but their melanoma metastasized, by the end of the observation period (mean follow-up after diagnosis of metastasis, 5.3 years). All-cause mortality rates in this cohort were 49.0% (95% CI, 47.0-51.1) at 15 years, 58.6% (95% CI, 56.4%-60.8%) at 20 years, and 66.8% (95% CI, 64.2%-69.4%) at 25 years. Melanoma-related mortality rates were 24.6% (95% CI, 22.8-26.4) at 15 years after treatment, 25.8% (95% CI, 24.0-27.8) at 20 years after treatment, and 26.4% (95% CI, 24.5-28.5) at 25 years after treatment. The 20-year mortality rate was 8.6% (95% CI, 6.2-11.9) for younger patients (<= 60 years) with small tumors (<= 11 mm) and 40.1% (95% CI, 36.1-44.3) for older patients (>60 years) with large tumors (>11 mm). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this large series of patients with ocular melanoma treated conservatively with proton beam irradiation, the cumulative melanoma-related mortality rates continued to increase up to 23 years after treatment. Annual rates decreased considerably (to <1%) 14 years after treatment. Information regarding the long-term risk of dying of uveal melanoma may be useful to clinicians when counseling patients.

TI Diagnostic Sensitivity of Indocyanine Green Angiography for Birdshot Chorioretinopathy SO JAMA OPHTHALMOLOGY LA English DT Article ID RETINOCHOROIDITIS AB IMPORTANCE To describe a cohort of patients with birdshot chorioretinopathy who did not manifest birdshot lesions on clinical examination but had retinal vasculitis, low-grade to moderate vitritis, and hypocyanescent lesions on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). OBSERVATIONS Case series of 3 patients with mild to moderate vitritis and retinal vasculitis without definite birdshot lesions on clinical examination evaluated from January 2007 to December 2014 at 4 academic ophthalmology centers. All patients' results were positive for human leukocyte antigen-A29. All cases had hypocyanescent lesions visible on ICGA but not detectable on fluorescein angiography. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Patients with retinal vasculitis and low-grade vitritis with or without macular edema may have birdshot chorioretinopathy evident on ICGA before lesions are visible on clinical examination or fluorescein angiography. Expanding birdshot chorioretinopathy diagnostic criteria to include the presence of hypocyanescent lesions on ICGA could improve the sensitivity of diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between baseline body mass index (BMI) and measures of subsequent asthma control in a large real-world cohort of adults with persistent asthma. METHODS: In Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC), a large managed care organization, we identified adults with persistent asthma in 2006, continuous health plan enrollment in 2007 and 2008, and a BMI measurement in 2006 or 2007. Each patient's last BMI measure in 2006 or 2007 was categorized into a BMI group: normal (<25 kg/m(2)), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m(2)), or obese (>= 30 kg/m(2)). Asthma control outcomes in 2008 included asthma hospitalizations or emergency department visits (EDHO), oral corticosteroid dispensings linked to an asthma encounter (OCS), and dispensing of >= 7 short-acting beta-agonist canisters (SABA7). Multivariable analyses were conducted to assess the relationships of BMI categories with the risk of the asthma control outcomes after controlling for potential confounders. RESULTS: In the 10,233 eligible adults-after adjusting for potential demographic, comorbidity, and prior utilization confounders-we found an increased relative risk (RR) of EDHO in overweight and obese (RR 1.40, 95% CI 1.10-1.78) individuals. Only obesity was associated in adjusted analyses with a significant increased relative risk of SABA7 (RR 1.27, 95% CI 1.15-1.40). CONCLUSIONS: Elevated BMI, particularly obesity, is associated with subsequent poor asthma control, especially in the risk domain (exacerbations). These findings further support the importance of facilitating weight loss in overweight and obese adults with asthma.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of OSA risk among patients with asthma of different severity compared with normal controls (NC), and among asthmatics, to test the relationship of OSA risk with asthma burden and airway inflammation. METHODS: Subjects with severe (SA, n = 94) and nonsevere asthma (NSA, n = 161), and NC (n = 146) were recruited in an add-on substudy, to the observational Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP) II; subjects completed sleep quality, sleepiness and OSA risk (Sleep Apnea scale of the Sleep Disorders Questionnaire [SA-SDQ]) questionnaires, and clinical assessments. Sputum was induced in a subset of asthmatics. RESULTS: Relative to NC, despite similar sleep duration, the subjects with SA and NSA had worse sleep quality, were sleepier, and had higher SA-SDQ scores. Among asthmatics, higher SA-SDQ was associated with increased asthma symptoms, beta-agonist use, health care utilization, and worse asthma quality of life. A significant association of SA-SDQ with sputum polymorphonuclear cells% was noted: each increase in SA-SDQ by its standard deviation (6.85 units) was associated with a rise in % sputum neutrophils of 7.78 (95% CI 2.33-13.22, P = .0006), independent of obesity and other confounders. CONCLUSIONS: OSA symptoms are more prevalent among asthmatics, in whom they are associated with higher disease burden. OSA risk is associated with a neutrophilic airway inflammation in asthma, which suggests that OSA may be an important contributor to the neutrophilic asthma. Further studies are necessary to confirm these findings and better understand the mechanistic underpinnings of this relationship.

TI shRNA targeting alpha-synuclein prevents neurodegeneration in a Parkinson's disease model SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION LA English DT Article ID GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; TRANSGENIC MICE; IN-VIVO; DOPAMINE NEURONS; LEWY BODIES; LOCUS TRIPLICATION; OXIDATIVE STRESS; ROTENONE MODEL; GENE-THERAPY; DOUBLE-BLIND AB Multiple convergent lines of evidence implicate both alpha-synuclein (encoded by SCNA) and mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). Occupational exposure to the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor rotenone increases PD risk; rotenone-exposed rats show systemic mitochondrial defects but develop specific neuropathology, including alpha-synuclein aggregation and degeneration of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons. Here, we inhibited expression of endogenous alpha-synuclein in the adult rat substantia nigra by adeno-associated virus-mediated delivery of a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting the endogenous rat Snca transcript. Knockdown of alpha-synuclein by similar to 35% did not affect motor function or cause degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons in control rats. However, in rotenone-exposed rats, progressive motor deficits were substantially attenuated contralateral to alpha-synuclein knockdown. Correspondingly, rotenone-induced degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons, their dendrites, and their striatel terminals was decreased ipsilateral to alpha-synuclein knockdown. These data show that alpha-synuclein knockdown is neuroprotective in the rotenone model of PD and indicate that endogenous alpha-synuclein contributes to the specific vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons to systemic mitochondrial inhibition. Our findings are consistent with a model in which genetic variants influencing alpha-synuclein expression modulate cellular susceptibility to environmental exposures in PD patients. shRNA targeting the SNCA transcript should be further evaluated as a possible neuroprotective therapy in PD.

TI Interferon-induced mechanosensing defects impede apoptotic cell clearance in lupus SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION LA English DT Article ID SPLENIC MARGINAL ZONE; AUTOIMMUNE BXD2 MICE; PRECURSOR B-CELLS; DENDRITIC CELLS; I INTERFERON; T-CELL; PATHOGENIC AUTOANTIBODIES; ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY; LYMPHOID-TISSUES; ACTIN DYNAMICS AB Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe autoimmune disease that is associated with increased circulating apoptotic cell autoantigens (AC-Ags) as well as increased type I IFN signaling. Here, we describe a pathogenic mechanism in which follicular translocation of marginal zone (MZ) B cells in the spleens of BXD2 lupus mice disrupts marginal zone macrophages (MZMs), which normally clear AC debris and prevent follicular entry of AC-Ags. Phagocytosis of ACs by splenic MZMs required the megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) transcriptional coactivator-mediated mechanosensing pathway, which was maintained by MZ B cells through expression of membrane lymphotoxin-alpha 1 beta 2 (mLT). Specifically, type I IFN-induced follicular shuttling of mLT-expressing MZ B cells disengaged interactions between these MZ B cells and up receptor-expressing MZMs, thereby downregulating MKL1 in MZMs. Loss of MKL1 expression in MZMs led to defective F-actin polymerization, inability to clear ACs, and, eventually, MZM dissipation. Aggregation of plasmacytoid DCs in the splenic perifollicular region, follicular translocation of MZ B cells, and loss of MKL1 and MZMs were also observed in an additional murine lupus model and in the spleens of patients with SLE. Collectively, the results suggest that lupus might be interrupted by strategies that maintain or enhance mechanosensing signaling in the MZM barrier to prevent follicular entry of AC-Ags.

TI Contribution of longitudinal follow up and clinical pathological correlation in the diagnosis CD30-positive skin infiltrates SO JOURNAL OF CUTANEOUS PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE anaplastic large cell lymphoma; CD30; CD30+lymphoproliferative disorder; lymphomatoid papulosis ID LARGE-CELL LYMPHOMA; LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS; CUTANEOUS LYMPHOMAS; PAPULOSIS; CLASSIFICATION; EXPRESSION; SPECTRUM; DISEASE AB The diagnosis of a CD30+ cutaneous infiltrate is often difficult and requires clinicopathologic correlation. To further evaluate this challenge, initial clinical and histopathologic diagnoses were correlated with final clinicopathologic diagnosis in 44 cases with CD30 immunopositivity. Dermatopathologic evaluation confirmed the initial clinical diagnosis in 65% of the suspected benign cases, all cases of suspected lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP), and 72% of clinically malignant cases. In the 25 patients with clinical suspicion for lymphoma, the histopathologic diagnoses included lymphoma in 18, LyP in 2, CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorder (CD30 LPD) in 3 and hypersensitivity reaction in 2 patients. Clinicopathologic correlation led to a change in three cases diagnosed histopathologically as anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) reclassified as LyP type C, and one patient diagnosed as CD30 LPD clinically evolved as herpes virus infection. Furthermore, five cases reported as CD30 LPD received more specific diagnoses after clinicopathologic correlation (LyP type C in three, and ALCL in two patients). Clinicopathologic correlation is essential in establishing the correct diagnosis of CD30 LPD, in particular the distinction of ALCL from LyP type C. In this setting, the histopathologic diagnosis of CD30 LPD is advisable in the absence of clinical data.

TI Patient-Centered Medical Home and Family Burden in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder SO JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL PEDIATRICS LA English DT Article ID HEALTH-CARE NEEDS; QUALITY-OF-LIFE; DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER; CHILDREN; ADHD; ADOLESCENTS; CHILDHOOD; DIAGNOSIS; PATTERNS; COSTS AB Objective: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can impair child health and functioning, but its effects on the family's economic burden are not well understood. The authors assessed this burden in US families of children with ADHD, and the degree to which access to a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) might reduce this burden. Methods: We conducted cross-sectional analyses of 2005-2006 and 2009-2010 National Surveys of Children with Special Health Care Needs, focusing on families of children with ADHD. They defined family economic burden as (1) family financial problems (annual expenses for the child's health care or illness-related financial problems for the family) and/or (2) family employment problems (job loss, work time loss, or failure to change jobs to avoid insurance loss). Relative risk models assessed associations between PCMH and family economic burden, adjusted for child age, sex, ethnicity, ADHD severity, poverty status, caregiver education, and insurance. Results: In 2009, 26% of families reported financial problems because of the child's ADHD, 2.1% reported out-of-pocket expenses >5% of income, and 36% reported employment problems. Only 38% reported care that met all 5 criteria for a PCMH (similar to rates in 2005-2006). In multivariable analysis, care in a PCMH was associated with 48% lower relative risk (RR) of financial problems (RR = 0.52, p < .001) and 36% lower relative risk of employment problems (RR = 0.64, p < .001). Among PCMH components, family-centered care and care coordination were more strongly associated with lower burden. Conclusions: The economic burdens of families with ADHD are significant but may be alleviated by family-centered care and care coordination in a medical home.

TI A Systematic Evaluation of the QTc Interval and Antidepressants in Youth: An Electronic Health Record Study SO JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL PEDIATRICS LA English DT Article ID CHILDREN; SUICIDE AB Objective: The US Food and Drug Administration announced that citalopram was associated with dose-related prolongation of the QTc interval in adults. This study aimed to assess how antidepressants affect QTc intervals in children. The authors hypothesized that some antidepressants would show an association with QTc prolongation. Methods: An electronic medical record review was conducted of children aged 5 to 18 years in the Partners Healthcare system with at least 1 prescription of an antidepressant or methadone between February 1990 and August 2011. The authors extracted lifetime diagnoses and QTc interval of patients who had received an electrocardiogram 14 to 90 days after antidepressant or methadone prescription (N = 297). The mean QTc per medication was calculated as compared with the mean of all QTc measurements across medications. The number of patients taking medications who had QTc values in normal, borderline, abnormal, or high were also calculated. Results: Mean QTc values for all medications were in the normal range. The highest mean QTc was in patients on escitalopram (436 milliseconds). The mean QTc for sertraline (416 milliseconds) was significantly lower than all other drugs measured (t(331) = -2.21, p < .05). After controlling for confounding effects, none of the differences in mean QTc compared with other study drugs reached statistical significance. The greatest percentages of abnormal and high QTc values were found among patients taking paroxetine (18.8%), followed by escitalopram (15.4%). None of the children had documented ventricular arrhythmia. Conclusion: The results suggest that most antidepressants are not associated with prolonged QTc at doses typically prescribed for children.

Methods: Sixty-one Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Persian Gulf War Veterans with a history of mild or moderate TBI, more than 6 months postinjury, and 21 demographically matched Veteran controls were administered self-report measures of QOL (World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF) and postconcussive symptom severity (Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory). Results: Perceived QOL was significantly worse in Veterans with mild-moderate TBI than in controls. In the TBI group, QOL was predominantly associated with affective symptoms, and moderate to strong correlations with fatigue and depression were evident across all QOL areas. Multivariate analyses revealed depression and fatigue to be the best predictors of Psychological, Social, and Environmental QOL, whereas sleep difficulty best predicted Physical QOL in mild-moderate TBI. Conclusion: Veterans with post-acute mild-moderate TBI evidence worse QOL than demographically matched Veteran controls. Affective symptoms, and specifically those of fatigue, depression, and sleep difficulty, appear to be the most relevant postconcussive symptoms predicting QOL in this population. These findings underscore the importance of examining specific symptoms as they relate to post-acute TBI QOL and provide guidance for treatment and intervention studies.

TI mu-Opioid Receptor Gene A118 G Variants and Persistent Pain Symptoms Among Men and Women Experiencing Motor Vehicle Collision SO JOURNAL OF PAIN LA English DT Article DE Opioid-induced hyperalgesia; A118 G; mu-opioid receptor 1; motor vehicle collision; pain ID PERITRAUMATIC DISTRESS INVENTORY; SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM; POSTTRAUMATIC-STRESS-DISORDER; INDUCED HYPERALGESIA; EMERGENCY-DEPARTMENT; ENDOGENOUS OPIOIDS; POSTOPERATIVE PAIN; SWIM STRESS; ANALGESIA; OPRM1 AB The mu-opioid receptor 1 (OPRM1) binds endogenous opioids. Increasing evidence suggests that endogenous OPRM1 agonists released at the time of trauma may contribute to the development of posttraumatic musculoskeletal pain (MSP). In this prospective observational study, we evaluated the hypothesis that individuals with an AG or GG genotype at the OPRM1 A118 G allele, which results in a reduced response to opioids, would have less severe MSP 6 weeks after motor vehicle collision (MVC). Based on previous evidence, we hypothesized that this effect would be sex-dependent and most pronounced among women with substantial peritraumatic distress. European American men and women >= 18 years of age presenting to the emergency department after MVC and discharged to home after evaluation (N = 948) were enrolled. Assessments included genotyping and 6-week evaluation of overall MSP severity (0-10 numeric rating scale). In linear regression modeling, a significant A118 G Allele x Sex interaction was observed: an AG/GG genotype predicted reduced MSP severity among women with substantial peritraumatic distress (beta = -.925, P = .014) but not among all women. In contrast, men with an AG/GG genotype experienced increased MSP severity at 6 weeks (beta = .827, P = .019). Further studies are needed to understand the biologic mechanisms mediating observed sex differences in A118 G effects. Perspective: These results suggest a sex-dependent mechanism by which an emotional response to trauma (distress) contributes to a biologic mechanism (endogenous opioid release) that increases MSP in the weeks after stress exposure. These results also support the hypothesis that endogenous opioids influence pain outcomes differently in men and women.

Eight subjects with unilateral lower or upper limb amputation and chronic PLP were enrolled in a crossover, double-blind, sham-controlled treatment program. For 5 consecutive days, anodal (active or sham) tDCS was applied over the motor cortex for 15 minutes at an intensity of 1.5 mA. The 5-day treatment with active, but not sham, tDCS induced a sustained decrease in background PLP and in the frequency of PLP paroxysms, which lasted for 1 week after the end of treatment. Moreover, on each day of active tDCS, patients reported an immediate PLP relief, along with an increased ability to move their phantom limb. Patients' immediate responses to sham tDCS, on the contrary, were variable, marked by an increase or decrease of PLP levels from baseline. These results show that a 5-day treatment of motor cortex stimulation with tDCS can induce stable relief from PLP in amputees. Neuromodulation targeting the motor cortex appears to be a promising option for the management of this debilitating neuropathic pain condition, which is often refractory to classic pharmacologic and surgical treatments. Perspective: The study describes sustained and immediate effects of motor cortex stimulation by tDCS on postamputation PLP, whose analgesic action seems linked to the motor reactivation of the phantom limb. These results are helpful for the exploitation of tDCS as a therapeutic tool for the management of neuropathic pain.

Individual resources of social capital and self-compassion are associated with health behaviors and perceived symptoms, suggesting that both are positive resources that can be modified to improve a person's symptom experience. Objectives. The aim was to examine the relationship between self-compassion and social capital and its impact on current HIV symptom experience in adult people living with HIV (PLWH). We further explored the impact of age on this relationship. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 2182 PLWH at 20 sites in five countries. Social capital, self-compassion, and HIV symptom experience were evaluated using valid and reliable scales. To account for inflated significance associated with a large sample size, we took a random sample of 28% of subjects (n = 615) and conducted correlation analyses and zero-inflated Poisson regression, controlling for known medical and demographic variables impacting HIV symptom experience. Results. Controlling for age, sex at birth, year of HIV diagnosis, comorbid health conditions, employment, and income, our model significantly predicted HIV symptom experience (overall model z = 5.77, P < 0.001). Employment status and social capital were consistent, negative, and significant predictors of HIV symptom experience. Self-compassion did not significantly predict HIV symptom experience. For those reporting symptoms, an increase in age was significantly associated with an increase in symptoms. Conclusion. Employment and social capital modestly predicted current HIV symptom experience. Social capital can be incorporated into symptom management interventions, possibly as a way to reframe a person's symptom appraisal. This may be increasingly important as PLWH age. The relationship between employment status and HIV symptom experience was significant and should be explored further. (C) 2015 American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

Time from cancer diagnosis to death is rapidly increasing, as new, targeted therapies are developed, many prolonging life even in advanced disease. Tumors are now genotyped at diagnosis, allowing personalization of treatment. The FDA is continually approving new drugs that quickly become the standard of care for common tumors; the impact of these drugs and their side effects is monitored with imaging, and accurate interpretation of imaging studies has become essential as these patients live longer. Oncologists rely on radiologists to understand new patterns of treatment response and novel drug side effects that are associated with new drug classes, increasing the knowledge required for accurate image interpretation. These factors have led to the demand for dedicated cancer imaging training for radiologists, who can integrate findings throughout the body on various imaging modalities. In addition, we need to expand radiology's focus beyond diagnosis, staging, and restaging of tumors, and include education about the influence of genomics on tumor characterization and guidance for cancer care, the spectrum of treatment response, and the imaging characteristics of adverse events associated with various therapies. The time has come, therefore, to formally incorporate, as part of radiology residency, a distinct cancer imaging curriculum that is standardized, tested, and will allow the new generation of radiologists to effectively communicate with and assist their oncologic colleagues and optimally contribute to the care of patients with cancer.

These Insights describe the different types of particle therapy that may be used to treat H&N cancers, in contrast to traditional radiation therapy (RT) with photons (x-ray). Research is ongoing regarding the different types of particle therapy, including protons and carbon ions, with the goals of reducing the long-term side effects from RI and improving the therapeutic index. For the 2015 update, the NCCN H&N Cancers Panel agreed to delete recommendations for neutron therapy for salivary gland cancers, because of its limited availability, which has decreased over the past 2 decades; the small number of patients in the United States who currently receive this treatment; and concerns that the toxicity of neutron therapy may offset potential disease control advantages.

Evaluation with chest radiography is vital for initial assessment and may reveal diffuse parenchymal abnormalities that require further assessment with computed tomography (CT). The aim of this review is to outline a pattern-based approach for the analysis of diffuse pulmonary abnormalities in an acutely dyspneic patient with emphasis on CT appearances. Specific disease entities may be differentiated by their distribution in the lungs and by their radiologic findings. Recognition of the predominant finding and its distribution can generate an appropriate differential diagnosis that is further refined by the presence or absence of ancillary findings. Incorporation of the clinical history, laboratory data, and prior studies narrows the differential diagnosis, indicates the optimum modality for further evaluation, and, in some situations, provides important prognostic data.

Tumors release into the circulation procoagulant microparticles (MPs) that can participate in thrombus formation following vessel injury. The importance of this MP tissue factor (TF) in the initiation of cancer-associated DVT remains uncertain. ObjectiveTo investigate how pancreatic cancer MPs promote DVT invivo. MethodsWe combined a DVT mouse model in which thrombosis is induced by flow restriction in the inferior vena cava with one of subcutaneous pancreatic cancer in C57BL/6J mice. We infused high-TF and low-TF tumor MPs to determine the importance of TF in experimental cancer-associated DVT. ResultsBoth tumor-bearing mice and mice infused with tumor MPs subjected to 3h of partial flow restriction developed an occlusive thrombus; fewer than one-third of the control mice did. We observed that MPs adhered to neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which are functionally important players during DVT, whereas neither P-selectin nor glycoproteinIb were required for MP recruitment in DVT. The thrombotic phenotype induced by MP infusion was suppressed by hirudin, suggesting the importance of thrombin generation. TF carried by tumor MPs was essential to promote DVT, as mice infused with low-TF tumor MPs had less thrombosis than mice infused with high-TF tumor MPs. ConclusionsTF expressed on tumor MPs contributes to the increased incidence of cancer-associated venous thrombosis in mice invivo. These MPs may adhere to NETs formed at the site of thrombosis.

Poor quality of early life conditions has been associated with poorer late life cognition and increased risk of dementia. Early life physical development can be captured using adult measures of height and head circumference. Availability of resources may be reflected by socioeconomic indicators, such as parental education and family size. We sought to determine the association between early life development and experience and late life semantic memory, episodic memory, and executive functioning abilities, as well as rate of cognitive decline. Method. This study was conducted using the UC Davis Aging Diversity cohort, an ethnically diverse sample of Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic individuals from northern California. We used latent variable modeling to measure growth and childhood socioeconomic environment (SES) and examine their associations with longitudinal cognitive outcomes using mixed effects modeling. Results. Growth was positively related to higher childhood SES. Higher childhood SES was associated with better semantic memory. Both low growth and low SES were associated with increased rate of cognitive decline. Discussion. These findings demonstrate that early life experiences influence the trajectory of cognitive aging. Early life development and experience appears to provide a distal basis upon which additional risk and protective factors interact in the development of dementia.

To examine the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and cognitive performance in a multiethnic sample of older adults. Method. We used longitudinal data from the Washington Heights-Inwood Columbia Aging Project. A composite score including smoking, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and central obesity represented CVRFs. Multiple group parallel process multivariate random effects regression models were used to model cognitive functioning and examine the contribution of CVRFs to baseline performance and change in general cognitive processing, memory, and executive functioning. Results. Presence of each CVRF was associated with a 0.1 SD lower score in general cognitive processing, memory, and executive functioning in black and Hispanic participants relative to whites. Baseline CVRFs were associated with poorer baseline cognitive performances among black women and Hispanic men. CVRF increase was related to baseline cognitive performance only among Hispanics. CVRFs were not related to cognitive decline. After adjustment for medications, CVRFs were not associated with cognition in Hispanic participants. Discussion. CVRFs are associated with poorer cognitive functioning, but not cognitive decline, among minority older adults. These relationships vary by gender and medication use. Consideration of unique racial, ethnic, and cultural factors is needed when examining relationships between CVRFs and cognition.

To evaluate the effects of vascular conditions and education quality on cognition over time in White and African American (AA) older adults. Method. We investigated cross-sectional and longitudinal racial differences in executive functioning (EF) and memory composites among Whites (n = 461) and AAs (n = 118) enrolled in a cohort study. We examined whether cerebrovascular risk factors and Shipley Vocabulary scores (a proxy for education quality) accounted for racial differences. Results. On average, AAs had lower quality of education and more cerebrovascular risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. AAs had lower mean EF and memory at baseline, but there were no group differences in rates of decline. Cross-sectional racial differences in EF and memory persisted after controlling for vascular disease, but disappeared when controlling for Shipley Vocabulary. Discussion. Quality of education appears to be more important than cerebrovascular risk factors in explaining cross-sectional differences in memory and EF performance between White and AA older adults. Further investigation is needed regarding the relative contribution of education quality and cerebrovascular risk factors to cognitive decline among ethnically/racially diverse older adults.

Racial disparities in late-life cognition persist even after accounting for educational attainment. We examined whether early-life educational quality and literacy in later life help explain these disparities. Method. We used longitudinal data from the Washington Heights-Inwood Columbia Aging Project (WHICAP). Educational quality (percent white students; urban/rural school; combined grades in classroom) was operationalized using canonical correlation analysis. Late-life literacy (reading comprehension and ability, writing) was operationalized using confirmatory factor analysis. We examined whether these factors attenuated race-related differences in late-life cognition. Results. The sample consisted of 1,679 U.S.-born, non-Hispanic, community-living adults aged 65-102 (71% black, 29% white; 70% women). Accounting for educational quality and literacy reduced disparities by 29% for general cognitive functioning, 26% for memory, and 32% for executive functioning but did not predict differences in rate of cognitive change. Discussion. Early-life educational quality and literacy in late life explain a substantial portion of race-related disparities in late-life cognitive function.

Through an unbiased metabolomics analysis of leukemia cells, we found that the glycogenic precursor UDP-D-glucose is pervasively upregulated, despite low glycogen levels. Targeting the rate-limiting glycogen synthase 1 (GYS1) not only decreased glycolytic flux but also increased activation of the glycogen-responsive AMP kinase (AMPK), leading to significant growth suppression. Further, genetic and pharmacological hyper-activation of AMPK was sufficient to induce the changes observed with GYS1 targeting. Cancer genomics data also indicate that elevated levels of the glycogenic enzymes GYS1/2 or GBE1 (glycogen branching enzyme 1) are associated with poor survival in AML. These results suggest a novel mechanism whereby leukemic cells sustain aberrant proliferation by suppressing excess AMPK activity through elevated glycogenic flux and provide a therapeutic entry point for targeting leukemia cell metabolism.

Methods: Experiments were designed to optimize the detector's x-ray response and find the best parameter combination by changing the active layer thickness and the area of the electrode. The OPV cell consisted of poly (3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl): [6,6]-phenyl C-61 butyric acid methyl ester photoactive donor and acceptor semiconducting organic materials sandwiched between an aluminum electrode as an anode and an indium tin oxide electrode as a cathode. The authors measured the radiation-induced electric current at zero bias voltage in all fabricated OPV cells. Results: The net OPV current as a function of beam potential (kVp) was proportional to kVp(-0.5) when normalized to x-ray tube output, which varies with kVp. Of the tested configurations, the best combination of parameters was 270 nm active layer thicknesses with 0.7 cm(2) electrode area, which provided the highest signal per electrode area. For this cell, the measured current ranged from approximately 0.7 to 2.4 nA/cm(2) for 60-150 kVp, corresponding to about 0.09 nA-0.06 nA/mGy air kerma, respectively. When compared to commercial amorphous silicon thin film photovoltaic cells irradiated under the same conditions, this represents 2.5 times greater sensitivity. An additional 40% signal enhancement was observed when a 1 mm layer of plastic scintillator was attached to the cells' beam-facing side. Conclusions: Since both OPVs can be produced as flexible devices and they do not require external bias voltage, they open the possibility for use as thin film in vivo detectors for dose monitoring in diagnostic x-ray imaging.

These artifacts degrade both image quality and quantitative accuracy. In this paper, the authors present a complete data acquisition and processing framework for respiratory motion compensated image reconstruction (MCIR) using simultaneous whole body PET/magnetic resonance (MR) and validate it through simulation and clinical patient studies. Methods: The authors have developed an MCIR framework based on maximum a posteriori or MAP estimation. For fast acquisition of high quality 4D MR images, the authors developed a novel Golden-angle RAdial Navigated Gradient Echo (GRANGE) pulse sequence and used it in conjunction with sparsity-enforcing k-t FOCUSS reconstruction. The authors use a 1D slice-projection navigator signal encapsulated within this pulse sequence along with a histogram-based gate assignment technique to retrospectively sort the MR and PET data into individual gates. The authors compute deformation fields for each gate via nonrigid registration. The deformation fields are incorporated into the PET data model as well as utilized for generating dynamic attenuation maps. The framework was validated using simulation studies on the 4D XCAT phantom and three clinical patient studies that were performed on the Biograph mMR, a simultaneous whole body PET/MR scanner. Results: The authors compared MCIR (MC) results with ungated (UG) and one-gate (OG) reconstruction results. The XCAT study revealed contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) improvements for MC relative to UG in the range of 21%-107% for 14 mm diameter lung lesions and 39%-120% for 10 mm diameter lung lesions. A strategy for regularization parameter selection was proposed, validated using XCAT simulations, and applied to the clinical studies. The authors' results show that the MC image yields 19%-190% increase in the CNR of high-intensity features of interest affected by respiratory motion relative to UG and a 6%-51% increase relative to OG. Conclusions: Standalone MR is not the traditional choice for lung scans due to the low proton density, high magnetic susceptibility, and low T-2(*) relaxation time in the lungs. By developing and validating this PET/MR pulmonary imaging framework, the authors show that simultaneous PET/MR, unique in its capability of combining structural information from MR with functional information from PET, shows promise in pulmonary imaging.

Although it is well established that activation of this energy sensor inhibits the main anabolic processes that sustain cancer cell proliferation and growth, AMPK activation can confer on cancer cells the plasticity to survive under metabolic stress such as hypoxia and glucose deprivation, which are commonly observed in fast growing tumors. Thus, AMPK is referred to as both a "conditional" tumor suppressor and "contextual" oncogene. To add a further layer of complexity, AMPK activation in human cancer tissues and its correlation with tumor aggressiveness and progression appears to vary in different contexts. The current review discusses the different faces of this metabolic regulator, the therapeutic implications of its modulation, and provides an overview of the most relevant data available on AMPK activation and AMPK-activating drugs in human studies.

TI Cosilencing of PKM-2 and MDR-1 Sensitizes Multidrug-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cells to Paclitaxel in a Murine Model of Ovarian Cancer SO MOLECULAR CANCER THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID PYRUVATE-KINASE; DRUG-RESISTANCE; TARGETED DELIVERY; LUNG-CANCER; IN-VIVO; SIRNA; COMBINATION; GROWTH; M2; IDENTIFICATION AB Tumor multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious clinical challenge that significantly limits the effectiveness of cytotoxic chemotherapy. As such, complementary therapeutic strategies are being explored to prevent relapse. The altered metabolic state of cancer cells, which perform aerobic glycolysis, represents an interesting target that can enable discrimination between healthy cells and cancer cells. We hypothesized that cosilencing of genes responsible for aerobic glycolysis and for MDR would have synergistic antitumor effect. In this study, siRNA duplexes against pyruvate kinase M2 and multidrug resistance gene-1 were encapsulated in hyaluronic acid-based self-assembling nanoparticles. The particles were characterized for morphology, size, charge, encapsulation efficiency, and transfection efficiency. In vivo studies included biodistribution assessment, gene knockdown confirmation, therapeutic efficacy, and safety analysis. The benefit of active targeting of cancer cells was confirmed by modifying the particles' surface with a peptide targeted to epidermal growth factor receptor, which is overexpressed on the membranes of the SKOV-3 cancer cells. To augment the studies involving transplantation of a paclitaxel-resistant cell line, an in vivo paclitaxel resistance model was developed by injecting repeated doses of paclitaxel following tumor inoculation. The nanoparticles accumulated significantly in the tumors, hindering tumor volume doubling time (P < 0.05) upon combination therapy in both the wild-type (2-fold) and resistant (8-fold) xenograft models. Although previous studies indicated that silencing of MDR-1 alone sensitized MDR ovarian cancer to paclitaxel only modestly, these data suggest that concurrent silencing of PKM-2 improves the efficacy of paclitaxel against MDR ovarian cancer.

Because conventional antibiotic drug discovery has failed to keep pace with the rise of resistance, a growing need exists to develop novel antibacterial methodologies. Replication-competent bacteriophages have been utilized in a limited fashion to treat bacterial infections. However, this approach can result in the release of harmful endotoxins, leading to untoward side effects. Here, we engineer bacterial phagemids to express antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and protein toxins that disrupt intracellular processes, leading to rapid, nonlytic bacterial death. We show that this approach is highly modular, enabling one to readily alter the number and type of AMPs and toxins encoded by the phagemids. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effectiveness of engineered phagemids in an in vivo murine peritonitis infection model. This work shows that targeted, engineered phagemid therapy can serve as a viable, nonantibiotic means to treat bacterial infections, while avoiding the health issues inherent to lytic and replicative bacteriophage use.

Short IPI has been associated with obstetric, fetal, and maternal morbidity. While the literature has largely supported an ideal IPI of 18 to 23 months after live birth to minimize morbidity in a subsequent pregnancy, there are few references that can guide clinicians counseling patients about IPI after other pregnancy outcomes. In this article, we attempt to review, synthesize, and provide evidence-based IPI recommendations using the available literature. Target Audience Obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians Learning Objectives After completing this activity, the learner will be better able to discuss the definition of the interpregnancy interval, identify risk factors for short interpregnancy intervals, and interpret the available evidence for perinatal and maternal morbidity associated with short interpregnancy intervals.

TI TMPRSS2: ERG blocks neuroendocrine and luminal cell differentiation to maintain prostate cancer proliferation SO ONCOGENE LA English DT Article ID ANDROGEN RECEPTOR; MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION; GENOME BROWSER; GENE FUSIONS; IN-VIVO; PROGRESSION; EXPRESSION; TRANSDIFFERENTIATION; ADENOCARCINOMA; HYBRIDIZATION AB The biological outcome of TMPRSS2: ERG chromosomal translocations in prostate cancer (PC) remains poorly understood. To address this, we compared the transcriptional effects of TMPRSS2: ERG expression in a transgenic mouse model with those of ERG knockdown in a TMPRSS2: ERG-positive PC cell line. This reveals that ERG represses the expression of a previously unreported set of androgen receptor (AR)-independent neuronal genes that are indicative of neuroendocrine (NE) cell differentiation-in addition to previously reported AR-regulated luminal genes. Cell sorting and proliferation assays performed after sustained ERG knockdown indicate that ERG drives proliferation and blocks the differentiation of prostate cells to both NE and luminal cell types. Inhibition of ERG expression in TMPRSS2: ERG-positive PC cells through blockade of AR signaling is tracked with increased NE gene expression. We also provide evidence that these NE cells are resistant to pharmacological AR inhibition and can revert to the phenotype of parental cells upon restoration of AR/ERG signaling. Our findings highlight an ERG-regulated mechanism capable of repopulating the parent tumor through the transient generation of an anti-androgen therapy-resistant cell population, suggesting that ERG may have a direct role in preventing resistance to anti-androgen therapy.

Design: Longitudinal, descriptive feasibility study. Setting: An ambulatory thoracic oncology disease center located at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA. Sample: 30 adult patients with lung cancer who received the oral agent erlotinib. Methods: Structured, nurse-led education sessions using the MOATT were provided, with a 72-hour follow-up telephone contact. Participants completed a Knowledge Rating Scale (KRS) and adapted Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) at the end of the first cycle of oral chemotherapy. Main Research Variables: Knowledge and adherence; feasibility. Findings: Twenty-seven participants completed the study outcome measures reporting high knowledge levels and MMAS-8 scores. Structured, nurse-led education and follow-up monitoring sessions ranged from 14-30 minutes. Several participants also initiated contact for assistance with prescription procurement and symptom management. Participants reported a median of two side effects. Conclusions: The structured, nurse-led teaching, using the MOATT tool, and follow-up nurse contacts were feasible as integrated into the thoracic oncology setting. Adherence and knowledge outcomes were encouraging. Additional studies should include objective adherence measures and strategies for delivering supportive care to patients at home. Implications for Nursing: Structured teaching with patients is important to enhance proper oral anticancer medication knowledge and adherence, including follow-up monitoring of administration and side effects at 72 hours.

A Re-Analysis of Data from a Randomized Clinical Trial SO PHARMACOPSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article DE S-adenosyl methionine; SAMe; antidepressant; gender; depression; RCT; one-carbon cycle ID DOUBLE-BLIND; SAM-E; DISORDER; ADENOSYLMETHIONINE; AUGMENTATION; ESCITALOPRAM; PLACEBO AB Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether gender differences may have affected treatment response to S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe) in a recent failed randomized clinical trial (RCT) for adults with major depressive disorder. Methods: Data from a 2-site, 12-week, double-blind RCT (n = 189) assessing the efficacy of SAMe vs. placebo and a comparator selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (escitalopram) were subjected to post-hoc analyses to evaluate effects of patient gender on treatment response. Results: When assessing the efficacy outcomes within each gender separately, SAMe was superior to placebo among males (n = 51), but not among females (n = 62). Males showed a significant reduction of depression severity from baseline to study endpoint on the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (4.3 point difference; p = 0.034; d = 0.95), while females did not show significant change. This finding emerged despite equivalence on baseline measures of depression severity between the gender groups. Conclusion: Results of this secondary data analysis suggest that gender might impact the antidepressant efficacy of SAMe, with greater therapeutic effect found in males. The underlying mechanism is still relatively unknown. Further work is needed to replicate this observation in independent samples. C1 [Sarris, J.; Ng, C.

Chronic consumption of high-energy density foods can contribute to the development of cardiometabolic pathology including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the contributions of extrinsic and intrinsic factors that influence the reward components of food intake. Methods A narrative review was conducted to determine the behavioral and central nervous system (CNS) related processes involved in the reward components of high-energy density food intake. Results The rewarding aspects of food, particularly palatable and preferred foods, are regulated by CNS circuitry. Overlaying this regulation is modulation by intrinsic endocrine systems and metabolic hormones relating to energy homeostasis, developmental stage, or gender. It is now recognized that extrinsic or environmental factors, including ambient diet composition and the provocation of stress or anxiety, also contribute substantially to the expression of food reward behaviors such as motivation for, and seeking of, preferred foods. Conclusions High-energy density food intake is influenced by both physiological and pathophysiological processes. Contextual, behavioral, and psychological factors and CNS-related processes represent potential targets for multiple types of therapeutic intervention.

SO SCHIZOPHRENIA BULLETIN LA English DT Article DE clinical high risk; family high risk; prodrome; premorbid; prenatal; perinatal; primary prevention; endop henotype; critical period; early intervention ID RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; ULTRA-HIGH RISK; YOUNG-PEOPLE; 1ST-EPISODE PSYCHOSIS; FUTURE-DIRECTIONS; BRAIN-DEVELOPMENT; CLINICAL-TRIAL; FAMILIAL RISK; FOLLOW-UP; PSYCHIATRY AB A number of influences have converged that make this Special Theme Issue timely: "A New Direction: Considering Developmentally Sensitive Targets for Very Early Intervention in Schizophrenia". These factors include: 1. the substantial knowledge about premorbid developmental vulnerabilities to psychosis, especially regarding schizophrenia; 2. the promising results emerging from interventions during the clinical high-risk (CHR) phase of psychosis and; 3. the recognition that the CHR period is a relatively late phase of developmental derailment. These factors have together led to a perspective that even earlier intervention is warranted. This paper briefly summarizes the articles comprising the Special Theme including new data on early neurocognitive development, proposed potential targets for psychosocial and psychopharmacological interventions during the premorbid period as early as pregnancy, and ethical challenges. These thought experiments must be empirically tested, and the ethical challenges overcome as posed by the various interventions, which range from relatively low risk, supportive, psychosocial to higher risk, experimental, pharmacological interventions. All of the interventions proposed require careful study of ethics, safety, potential stigma, feasibility, efficacy and tolerability, and the meaning to the people involved.

Approximately 50%-70% of the offspring of parents with schizophrenia manifest a range of observable difficulties including socioemotional, cognitive, neuromotor, speech-language problems, and psychopathology, and roughly 10% will develop psychosis. Despite the voluminous work on pre-morbid vulnerabilities to psychosis, especially on schizophrenia, the work on premorbid intervention approaches is scarce. While later interventions during the clinical high-risk (CHR) phase of psychosis, characterized primarily by attenuated positive symptoms, are promising, the CHR period is a relatively late phase of developmental derailment. This article reviews and proposes potential targets for psychosocial interventions during the premorbid period, complementing biological interventions described by others in this Special Theme issue. Beginning with pregnancy, parents with psychoses may benefit from enhanced prenatal care, social support, parenting skills, reduction of symptoms, and programs that are family-centered. For children at risk, we propose preemptive early intervention and cognitive remediation. Empirical research is needed to evaluate these interventions for parents and determine whether interventions for parents and children positively influence the developmental course of the offspring.

TI Early Childhood IQ Trajectories in Individuals Later Developing Schizophrenia and Affective Psychoses in the New England Family Studies SO SCHIZOPHRENIA BULLETIN LA English DT Article DE IQ; cognition; schizophrenia; affective psychosis; cognitive development ID ADULT SCHIZOPHRENIA; STANFORD-BINET; BIRTH COHORT; RISK-FACTORS; PERFORMANCE; DISORDER; CHILDREN; DECLINE; UPDATE; DEFECT AB Individuals who develop schizophrenia in adulthood exhibit, on average, deficits in childhood cognition relative to healthy controls. However, it remains unclear when in childhood such deficits emerge and whether they are stable across childhood or change (increase or decrease) across development. Importantly, whether the trajectory of childhood cognition differs among youth who later develop affective psychoses (AP) vs schizophrenia as adults remains unresolved. Subjects in the Collaborative Perinatal Project were administered the Stanford-Binet IQ test at age 4 and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children at age 7. A total of 9809 (54.7%) participants in the New England Study sites were tested at both ages, including 37 who later developed schizophrenia spectrum psychoses (SSP) and 39 who later developed AP. Logistic regression models examined the association of level of and change in childhood IQ and later SSP or AP. Lower overall childhood IQ was associated with higher risk of SSP. Additionally, there was a small mean increase in IQ in the SSP group relative to a mean decrease in the control group from age 4 to 7 such that positive change in IQ was significantly associated with a higher risk of SSP. Neither overall level nor change in IQ was associated with risk of AP. The results are consistent with neurocognitive impairment throughout early childhood specifically for children who later develop schizophrenia, affirming the theory of atypical neurodevelopment in premorbid schizophrenia.

Clearance of drugs, or their metabolites, that are normally excreted by the kidney is markedly reduced in ESRD. In addition, patients with ESRD may also have alterations in gastrointestinal absorption, volume of distribution, protein binding, and metabolic clearance of pharmacologic agents. Finally, drug removal may be augmented during dialysis. All of these factors contribute to the need for dose adjustment of medications, including analgesics, anesthetics, neuromuscular blockers, and antimicrobial agents, which may be used in the perioperative management of the ESRD patient.

This study examined the association between primary care providers' (PCPs') perception of organization climate and medical home implementation in the Veterans Health Administration. Multivariate regression was used to test the hypothesis that organizational climate predicts medical home implementation. This analysis of 191 PCPs found that higher scores in 2 domains of organizational climate (communication and cooperation, and orientation to quality improvement) were associated with a statistically significantly higher percentage (from 7 to 10 percentage points) of PCPs implementing structural changes to support the medical home model. In addition, some aspects of a better organizational climate were associated with improved organizational processes of care, including a higher percentage of patients contacted within 2 days of hospital discharge (by 2 to 3 percentage points) and appointments made within 3 days of a patient request (by 2 percentage points).

TI Weight Loss, the Obesity Paradox, and the Risk of Death in Rheumatoid Arthritis SO ARTHRITIS & RHEUMATOLOGY LA English DT Article ID BODY-MASS INDEX; DISEASE-ACTIVITY; US VETERANS; MORTALITY-RISKS; OLDER-ADULTS; HEALTH; ASSOCIATION; POPULATION; CATEGORIES; OVERWEIGHT AB ObjectiveIn contrast to what is observed in the general population, a low body mass index (BMI) has been associated with accelerated mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to assess whether weight loss might explain these seemingly paradoxical observations. MethodsOur study included patients identified from the Veterans Affairs (VA) RA Registry. Dates of death were abstracted from VA electronic medical records. The BMI at each study visit and the change from the previous visit were determined. The maximum BMI of each patient was also obtained from medical records. The annualized rate of BMI loss was determined from the slope of change (per year) in BMI over visits within the preceding 13 months. Cox multivariable proportional hazards models were used to assess associations between BMI measures and mortality. ResultsIn a sample of 1,674 patients, 312 deaths occurred over 9,183 person-years. A loss in BMI of 1 kg/m(2) was associated with a greater risk of death, after adjustment for demographics, comorbidities, BMI, smoking, and RA therapies (hazard ratio [HR] 1.99, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.53-2.59, P<0.001). This association remained significant in a subsample analysis adjusting for C-reactive protein and physical function (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.36-2.41, P<0.001). Weight loss at an annualized rate of 3 kg/m(2) was associated with the greatest risk of death (HR 2.49, 95% CI 1.73-3.57, P<0.001). Low BMI (<20 kg/m(2)) in patients with a history of obesity (>30 kg/m(2)) was associated with the greatest risk (HR 8.52, 95% CI 4.10-17.71, P<0.001). ConclusionWeight loss is a strong predictor of death in patients with RA. These observations may explain the observed obesity paradox and do not support a biologically protective role of obesity.

MethodsThe source of clinical data and linked biologic specimens was a randomized controlled treatment trial in AAV. RNA sequencing of whole blood from patients with AAV was performed during active disease at the baseline visit and during remission 6 months later. Gene expression was compared between patients who met versus those who did not meet the primary trial outcome of clinical remission at 6 months (responders versus nonresponders). Measurement of neutrophil-related gene expression was confirmed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to validate the findings in whole blood. A negative-selection strategy isolated LDGs from PBMC fractions. ResultsDifferential expression between responders (n=77) and nonresponders (n=35) was detected in 2,346 transcripts at the baseline visit (P<0.05). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering demonstrated a cluster of granulocyte-related genes, including myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3). A granulocyte multigene composite score was significantly higher in nonresponders than in responders (P<0.01) and during active disease than during remission (P<0.01). This signature strongly overlapped an LDG signature identified previously in lupus (false discovery rate by gene set enrichment analysis <0.01). Transcription of PR3 measured in PBMCs was associated with active disease and treatment response (P<0.01). LDGs isolated from patients with AAV spontaneously formed neutrophil extracellular traps containing PR3 and MPO. ConclusionIn AAV, increased expression of a granulocyte gene signature is associated with disease activity and decreased response to treatment. The source of this signature is likely LDGs, a potentially pathogenic cell type in AAV. C1 [Grayson, Peter C.; Carmona-Rivera, Carmelo; Kaplan, Mariana J.] NIAMSD, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

Historically, the physical confinement of spermatozoa to the epididymal tubule enforced by a tightly interwoven wall of epithelial cells was considered sufficient enough to prevent cross talk between gametes and the immune system and, ultimately, autoimmune destruction. The discovery of an intricate arrangement of mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) comprising dendritic cells and macrophages in the murine epididymis suggests that we may have underestimated the existence of a sophisticated mucosal immune system in the posttesticular environment. This review consolidates our current knowledge of the physiology of MPs in the steady state epididymis and speculates on possible interactions between auto-antigenic spermatozoa, pathogens and the immune system by drawing on what is known about the immune system in the intestinal mucosa. Ultimately, further investigation will provide valuable information regarding the origins of pathologies arising as a result of autoimmune or inflammatory responses in the epididymis, including epididymitis and infertility.

TI Efficacy and Safety of Low-field Synchronized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (sTMS) for Treatment of Major Depression SO BRAIN STIMULATION LA English DT Article DE Synchronized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (sTMS); Low-intensity magnetic field; Static magnet; Major Depressive Disorder; Clinical treatment trial; Neuromodulation; Individual Alpha Frequency (IAF); Alpha oscillations; Electroencephalogram (EEG); Oscillatory synchrony ID SHAM-CONTROLLED TRIALS; ALPHA-FREQUENCY; RATING-SCALE; DOUBLE-BLIND; METAANALYSIS; RTMS; TMS; MEDICATION; MULTISITE; EEG AB Background: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) customarily uses high-field electromagnets to achieve therapeutic efficacy in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Low-field magnetic stimulation also may be useful for treatment of MDD, with fewer treatment-emergent adverse events. Objective/Hypothesis: To examine efficacy, safety, and tolerability of low-field magnetic stimulation synchronized to an individual's alpha frequency (IAF) (synchronized TMS, or sTMS) for treatment of MDD. Methods: Six-week double-blind sham-controlled treatment trial of a novel device that used three rotating neodymium magnets to deliver sTMS treatment. IAF was determined from a single-channel EEG prior to first treatment. Subjects had baseline 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HamD(17)) >= 17. Results: 202 subjects comprised the intent-to-treat (ITT) sample, and 120 subjects completed treatment per-protocol (PP). There was no difference in efficacy between active and sham in the ITT sample. Subjects in the PP sample (N = 59), however, had significantly greater mean decrease in HamD(17) than sham (N = 60) (-9.00 vs. -6.56, P = 0.033). PP subjects with a history of poor response or intolerance to medication showed greater improvement with sTMS than did treatment-naive subjects (-8.58 vs. -4.25, P = 0.017). Efficacy in the PP sample reflects exclusion of subjects who received fewer than 80% of scheduled treatments or were inadvertently treated at the incorrect IAF; these subgroups failed to separate from sham. There was no difference in adverse events between sTMS and sham, and no serious adverse events attributable to sTMS.

TI Block of postjunctional muscle-type acetylcholine receptors in vivo causes train-of-four fade in mice SO BRITISH JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA LA English DT Article DE acetylcholine; neuromuscular monitoring; neuromuscular block; neuromuscular transmission; receptors; nicotinic ID NEUROMUSCULAR-JUNCTION; TETANIC FADE; ALPHA-CONOTOXINS; MYASTHENIA-GRAVIS; POSITIVE FEEDBACK; RELEASE; MOUSE; ALPHA-3-BETA-2; HEMIDIAPHRAGM; BUNGAROTOXIN AB Background: Train-of-four (TOP) fade during nerve-mediated muscle contraction is postulated to be attributable to inhibition of prejunctional nicotinic alpha 3 beta 2 acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), while decrease of twitch tension is attributable to block of postjunctional muscle nAChRs. The validity of these presumptions was tested using specific prejunctional and postjunctional nAChR antagonists, testing the hypothesis that fade is not always a prejunctional phenomenon. Methods: Pentobarbital anaesthetized mice had TOP fade measured after administration of: either 0.9% saline; the prejunctional alpha 3 beta 2 nAChR antagonist, dihydro-beta-erythroidine (DH beta E); the postjunctional nAChR antagonists, alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BTX) or alpha-conotoxin GI; and a combination of alpha-BTX and DH beta E; or a combination of alpha-conotoxin GI and DHOE. Results: Saline caused no neuromuscular changes. Administration of muscle nAChR antagonists, alpha-BTX or alpha-conotoxin GI caused significant decrease of twitch tension and TOP fade compared with baseline (P<0.01). DH beta E alone caused no change of twitch tension or fade even after 90 min, but its coadministration with alpha-BTX or alpha-conotoxin GI significantly accelerated the onset of paralysis and degree of fade compared with alpha-BTX or alpha-conotoxin GI alone (P<0.01). Conclusions: Occupation of postjunctional nAChRs alone by alpha-BTX or alpha-conotoxin GI causes fade. As the prejunctional effects of DH beta E on fade became manifest only when co-administered with alpha-BTX or alpha-conotoxin GI, specific inhibition of prejunctional nAChR alone is not necessary and sufficient to cause fade. Fade observed during repetitive nerve stimulation can be because of block of either postjunctional nAChRs alone, or block of prejunctional and postjunctional nAChRs together.

Georg TI The Role of Gastroesophageal Reflux and Other Factors during Progression to Esophageal Adenocarcinoma SO CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY BIOMARKERS & PREVENTION LA English DT Article ID BODY-MASS INDEX; INTERNATIONAL BEACON CONSORTIUM; BARRETTS-ESOPHAGUS; HELICOBACTER-PYLORI; UNITED-STATES; RISK-FACTORS; GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS; CIGARETTE-SMOKING; CANCER INCIDENCE; POOLED ANALYSIS AB Background: U.S. esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) incidence increased over 5-fold between 1975 and 2009. Symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (sGERD) elevates the risk for EAC. However, a simple calculation suggests that changes in sGERD prevalence can explain at most approximately 16% of this trend. Importantly, a mechanistic understanding of the influence of sGERD and other factors (OF) on EAC is lacking. Methods: A multiscale model was developed to estimate temporal trends for sGERD and OF, and their mechanistic role during carcinogenesis. Model calibration was to Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) incidence and age-dependent sGERD data using maximum likelihood and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Results: Among men, 77.8% [ 95% credibility interval (CI), 64.9%-85.6%] of the incidence trend is attributable to OF, 13.4% (95% CI, 11.4%-17.3%) to sGERD, and 8.8% (95% CI, 4.2%-13.7%) to sGERD-OF interactions. Among women, 32.6% (95% CI, 27.0%-39.9%) of the trend is attributable to OF, 13.6%(95% CI, 12.5%-15.9%) to sGERD, and 47.4% (95% CI, 30.7%-64.6%) to interactions. The predicted trends were compared with historical trends for obesity, smoking, and proton pump inhibitor use. Interestingly, predicted OF cohort trends correlated most highly with median body mass index (BMI) at age 50 (r = 0.988 for men; r = 0.998 for women). Conclusions: sGERD and OF mechanistically increase premalignant cell promotion, which increases EAC risk exponentially with exposure duration. Impact: Surveillance should target individuals with long-duration sGERD and OF exposures. (C) 2015 AACR. C1 [Hazelton, William D.; Luebeck, E.

TI Mendelian Randomization Study of Body Mass Index and Colorectal Cancer Risk SO CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY BIOMARKERS & PREVENTION LA English DT Article ID GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLES; MICROSATELLITE INSTABILITY; SUSCEPTIBILITY LOCI; CIGARETTE-SMOKING; PHYSICAL-ACTIVITY; COLON-CANCER; OBESITY; DESIGN; HEALTH AB Background: High body mass index (BMI) is consistently linked to increased risk of colorectal cancer for men, whereas the association is less clear for women. As risk estimates from observational studies may be biased and/or confounded, we conducted a Mendelian randomization study to estimate the causal association between BMI and colorectal cancer. Methods: Weused data from 10,226 colorectal cancer cases and 10,286 controls of European ancestry. The Mendelian randomization analysis used a weighted genetic risk score, derived from 77 genome-wide association study-identified variants associated with higher BMI, as an instrumental variable (IV). We compared the IV odds ratio (IV-OR) with the OR obtained using a conventional covariate-adjusted analysis. Results: Individuals carrying greater numbers of BMI-increasing alleles had higher colorectal cancer risk[ per weighted allele OR, 1.31; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.10-1.57]. Our IV estimation results support the hypothesis that genetically influenced BMI is directly associated with risk for colorectal cancer (IV-OR per 5 kg/m(2), 1.50; 95% CI, 1.13-2.01). In the sex-specific IV analyses higher BMI was associated with higher risk of colorectal cancer among women (IV-OR per 5 kg/m(2), 1.82; 95% CI, 1.26-2.61). For men, genetically influenced BMI was not associated with colorectal cancer (IV-OR per 5 kg/m(2), 1.18; 95% CI, 0.73-1.92). Conclusions: High BMI was associated with increased colorectal cancer risk for women. Whether abdominal obesity, rather than overall obesity, is a more important risk factor for men requires further investigation. Impact: Overall, conventional epidemiologic and Mendelian randomization studies suggest a strong association between obesity and the risk of colorectal cancer. (C) 2015 AACR.

Methods: Three annual surveys were conducted from 2006 to 2008 in a cohort of Pennsylvania cancer survivors diagnosed with colon, breast, or prostate cancer in 2005 (round 1, N = 2,013; round 2, N = 1,293; round 3, N = 1,128). Outcomes were information seeking about five survivorship topics. Key predictors were survey round, cancer diagnosis, and the interaction between these variables. Mixed-effects logistic regression analyses were performed to predict information seeking about each topic, adjusting for demographic variables, clinical characteristics, and clustering of repeated observations within individuals. Results: Information seeking about reducing risks of cancer recurrence was the most frequently reported topic across survivors and over time. Breast cancer survivors were more likely to seek about survivorship topics at round 1 compared with other survivors. In general, information seeking declined over time, but cancer-specific patterns emerged: the decline was sharpest for breast cancer survivors, whereas in later years female colon cancer survivors actually sought more information (about how to reduce the risk of family members getting colon cancer or a different cancer). Conclusion: Cancer survivors' information needs varied over time depending on the topic, and these trends differed by cancer type. Impact: Clinicians may need to intervene at distinct points during the survivorship period with information to address concerns about cancer recurrence, late effects, and family members' risks.

Methods: During 20 years of follow-up of 90,534 premenopausal women who completed a diet questionnaire in 1991, 2,833 invasive breast cancer cases were documented. In 1998, 44,263 of these women also completed a questionnaire about their diet during high school; among these women, we documented 1,118 cases of breast cancer. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression was used to model relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for breast cancer across categories of dietary carbohydrate, glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), as well as insulin load and insulin index scores. Results: Adolescent or early adult intakes of GI or GL were not associated with risk of breast cancer. Comparing women in the highest versus lowest quintile, the multivariable-adjusted RRs were 1.14 (0.95-1.38) for adolescent GI scores and 1.03 (0.91-1.16) for early adulthood GI scores. We also did not observe associations with insulin index and insulin load scores in adolescence or early adulthood and breast cancer risk. Conclusions: We found that diets high in GI, GL, insulin index, and insulin load during adolescence or early adulthood were not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in this cohort study. Impact: Diets with a high glucose or insulin response in adolescence or early adulthood were not significant predictors of breast cancer incidence. (C) 2015 AACR.

Chromatin-mediated transcription regulation involves DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling, and histone modifications. However, chromatin also contains non-histone chromatin-associated proteins, of which the high-mobility group (HMG) proteins are the most abundant. Although it is known that HMG proteins induce structural changes of chromatin, the processes underlying transcription regulation by HMG proteins are poorly understood. Here we decipher the molecular mechanism of transcription regulation mediated by the HMG AT-hook 2 protein (HMGA2). We combined proteomic, ChIP-seq, and transcriptome data to show that HMGA2-induced transcription requires phosphorylation of the histone variant H2AX at S139 (H2AXS139ph; gamma-H2AX) mediated by the protein kinase ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM). Furthermore, we demonstrate the biological relevance of this mechanism within the context of TGF beta 1 signaling. The interplay between HMGA2, ATM, and H2AX is a novel mechanism of transcription initiation. Our results link H2AXS139ph to transcription, assigning a new function for this DNA damage marker. Controlled chromatin opening during transcription may involve intermediates with DNA breaks that may require mechanisms that ensure the integrity of the genome.

Their benefit is decreased by their well-recognized cardiotoxicity. The purpose of this review is to outline the presentation, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity. Symptomatic heart failure occurs in 2% to 5% of patients treated with anthrayclines and may be higher in older patients or patients with cardiovascular risk factors. The mechanisms involved in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity involve myocyte loss by apoptosis in the presence of a limited regenerative capacity. Once symptomatic, anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is associated with markedly decreased survival. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), mostly determined using echocardiography, is used to monitor patients treated with anthracyclines. As more than 1/3 of patients treated with anthracyclines do not recover their baseline LVEF once it is decreased, more sensitive echocardiographic indices of LV function such as myocardial deformation or biomarkers have been studied in patients monitoring. Cardioprotective treatments such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, iron chelators, statins, and metformin are also the topic of research efforts.

In this paper, we present a multi-resolution mesh segmentation algorithm for 3D segmentation of livers, called iterative mesh transformation that deforms the mesh of a region-of-interest (ROI) in a progressive manner by iterations between mesh transformation and contour optimization. Mesh transformation deforms the 3D mesh based on the deformation transfer model that searches the optimal mesh based on the affine transformation subjected to a set of constraints of targeting vertices. Besides, contour optimization searches the optimal transversal contours of the ROI by applying the dynamic-programming algorithm to the intersection polylines of the 3D mesh on 2D transversal image planes. The initial constraint set for mesh transformation can be defined by a very small number of targeting vertices, namely landmarks, and progressively updated by adding the targeting vertices selected from the optimal transversal contours calculated in contour optimization. This iterative 3D mesh transformation constrained by 2D optimal transversal contours provides an efficient solution to a progressive approximation of the mesh of the targeting ROI. Based on this iterative mesh transformation algorithm, we developed a semi-automated scheme for segmentation of diseased livers with cancers using as little as five user-identified landmarks. The evaluation study demonstrates that this semi-automated liver segmentation scheme can achieve accurate and reliable segmentation results with significant reduction of interaction time and efforts when dealing with diseased liver cases.

Pharmacogenomics explores the roles of genetic variation in drug response and continues to be a field of great interest in asthma therapy. Prior studies have focused on candidate genes and recently emphasized genome-wide association analyses. Newer integrative omics and system-level approaches have recently revealed novel understanding of drug response pathways. However, the current known genetic loci only account for a fraction of variability in drug response and ongoing research is needed. While the field of asthma pharmacogenomics is not yet fully translatable to clinical practice, ongoing research should hopefully achieve this goal in the near future buttressed by the recent precision medicine efforts in the USA and worldwide.

Rox TI Use of Photodynamic Therapy and Sterile Water to Target Adipose Tissue SO DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY LA English DT Article ID ACID; FAT AB BACKGROUND Neither photodynamic therapy (PDT) nor sterile water has not been well studied for the treatment of adipose tissue. OBJECTIVE This investigation studied 2 different modalities, verteporfin PDT and sterile water, on adipose tissue compared with control. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four light-skinned pigs were used. Test sites received verteporfin PDT or sterile water injection. Control sites received injection of verteporfin without PDT, normal saline injection, no intervention, exposure to laser only, or insertion of a needle or cannula only. Sites were evaluated clinically, by ultrasound, and with histology 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. RESULTS There was a decrease in adipose tissue by ultrasound after verteporfin PDT (15%, p < .001) and sterile water (2%, p = .23). Verteporfin without PDT showed a decrease in adipose tissue (17%, p = .21). All other control sites showed an increase in adipose tissue. Histologically, verteporfin PDT and sterile water showed moderate damage (median Grade 2, p < .001) 4 to 6 weeks after intervention. CONCLUSION Verteporfin decreased adipose tissue after treatment. Sterile water injection had a statistically significant effect on adipose tissue histologically but did not substantially decrease the adipose tissue by ultrasound 4 to 6 weeks after intervention. Longer follow-up may be needed. C1 [Wanner, Molly; Avram, Mathew M.] Harvard Univ, Sch Med, Dept Dermatol, Massachusetts Gen Hosp, Boston, MA 02115 USA.

Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the imaging and clinical records of all consenting patients with histopathology-confirmed DDLPS seen from 2000 through 2012. The predictive value of clinical and histopathologic parameters for metastasis later in the disease course was analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Survival of patients with and without metastasis was compared using Log-rank test. Results: Records of 148 patients (57 women, 91 men; mean age 59 years, range 30-87 years) were reviewed. Distant metastases were observed in 44/148 patients (29.7%), 9/44 (20.5%) at presentation and 35/44 (79.5%) developing them later at a median interval of 8 months (IQR = 0.80-26 months). Median duration of follow-up was 38 months (IQR = 18-74 months) with 77/148 patients (31 with metastases) deceased at the time of analysis. Median survival was 28 months (IQR = 10-56 months) for patients with metastases and 38 months (IQR, 17-65 months) for patients without metastases (p = 0.0123, Log-Rank test; Hazard ratio 1.79 [95% confidence interval 1.11-2.84]). Lung was the most common site of metastases (33 patients, 22.3%). On univariate analysis, grade and local recurrence were associated with subsequent risk of metastasis where as age, tumor size, site, de novo dedifferentiation, number of previous surgical resections, margin positivity and chemoradiation were not. On multivariate analysis, high tumor grade (p-value = 0.0005, OR 5.05; 95% CI 2.01-13.48) and local recurrence (p-value = 0.0025, OR 4.46; 95% CI 1.67-13.40) predicted metastasis. Conclusion: Lung was most frequent site of DDLPS metastases. Risk of developing metastatic disease was statistically associated with tumor grade and local recurrence. Metastatic disease was associated with decreased survival. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Tirumani, S. H.; Tirumani, H.; Jagannathan, J. P.; Shinagare, A. B.; Ramaiya, N.

The EML4-ALK gene fusion is detected in 4-8% of all lung cancers, predominantly in light smokers or nonsmokers. Crizotinib, the first agent to be approved in this indication, is associated with a median progression-free survival of 10.9 months when given as first-line treatment and 7.7 months when administered after chemotherapy. Median overall survival with crizotinib in the second-line setting is 20.3 months. Second-generation ALK inhibitors are currently being evaluated, with early studies giving impressive results, notably in patients resistant to crizotinib or with brain metastases. Among available chemotherapies, pemetrexed appears to be particularly active in this population. Despite this progress, several questions remain unanswered. What detection strategies should be favoured? What underlies the mechanisms of resistance and what options are available to overcome them? What are the best approaches for progressing patients? This review provides an overview of current data in the literature and addresses these questions. C1 [Duchemann, Boris] Hop Avicenne, Dept Med Oncol, F-93009 Bobigny, France.
