Published: July 2017

Objective.To assess patient-reported variables as predictors of change in disease activity and disability in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.Cases were recruited to the Yorkshire Early Arthritis Register (YEAR) between 1997 and 2009 (n = 1415). Predictors of the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) and the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at baseline and change over 12 months were identified using multilevel models. Baseline predictors were sex, age, symptom duration, autoantibody status, pain and fatigue visual analog scales (VAS), duration of early morning stiffness (EMS), DAS28, and HAQ-DI.Results.Rates of change were slower in women than men: DAS28 fell by 0.19 and 0.17 units/month, and HAQ-DI by 0.028 and 0.023 units/month in men and women, respectively. Baseline pain and EMS had small effects on rates of change, whereas fatigue VAS was only associated with DAS28 and HAQ-DI at baseline. In patients recruited up to 2002, DAS28 reduced more quickly in those with greater pain at baseline (by 0.01 units/mo of DAS28 per cm pain VAS, p = 0.024); in patients recruited after 2002, the effect for pain was stronger (by 0.01 units/mo, p = 0.087). DAS28 reduction was greater with longer EMS. In both cohorts, fall in HAQ-DI (p = 0.006) was greater in patients with longer EMS duration, but pain and fatigue were not significant predictors of change in HAQ-DI.Conclusion.Patient-reported fatigue, pain, and stiffness at baseline are of limited value for the prediction of RA change in disease activity (DAS28) and activity limitation (HAQ-DI).

Objective.To examine the disease flare rate in lupus nephritis (LN), focusing on renal flares, and the factors associated with relapse risk in recent years.Methods.We analyzed data on 139 Chinese patients with class III/IV ± V LN diagnosed from January 1983 to December 2013. We also compared data before and after 1998, when maintenance immunosuppression was changed from azathioprine (AZA) to mycophenolic acid (MPA).Results.Over 112.5 ± 88.4 months, 135 episodes of renal flare occurred, giving a flare rate of 0.108 episodes per patient-year. The renal relapse-free survival rate was 96%, 90%, 86%, 80%, 69%, and 57% after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 years, respectively, calculated from the start of induction treatment. Reduced risk of flare was associated with MPA maintenance (OR 0.314, 95% CI 0.099–0.994, p = 0.049), complete remission after induction immunosuppression (OR 0.329, 95% CI 0.133–0.810, p = 0.016), and diagnosis after 1998 (OR 0.305, 95% CI 0.133–0.700, p = 0.005). Relapse-free survival was significantly better in patients treated with prednisolone and MPA as maintenance immunosuppression (91% after 5 yrs and 83% after 10 yrs, respectively) compared with prednisolone and AZA (70% and 52%, respectively, p = 0.044). LN diagnosed in 1998–2013 showed 5-year and 10-year relapse-free survival rates of 93% and 86%, respectively, compared with 81% and 66%, respectively (p = 0.017) for LN that presented in 1983–1997.Conclusion.Our data show a relatively low flare rate for LN in the more recent era, attributed to effective induction of immunosuppression and MPA as maintenance treatment.
CD36 and Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor Promote House Dust Mite Allergy Development
Authors: Patel Preeyam S. , Kearney John F. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Over 89% of asthmatic children in underdeveloped countries demonstrate sensitivity to house dust mites (HDMs). The allergic response to HDMs is partially mediated by epithelial cell–derived cytokines that activate group 2 innate lymphoid cells, induce migration and activation of dendritic cells, and promote effector differentiation of HDM-specific TH2 cells. However, the contribution of innate receptor engagement on epithelial or dendritic cells by HDMs that ultimately mediates said innate and adaptive allergic responses is poorly understood. We and other investigators have demonstrated that HDMs express phosphorylcholine (PC) moieties. The major PC receptors involved in immune responses include CD36 and platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR). Because CD36 and PAFR are expressed by epithelial cells and dendritic cells, and expression of these receptors is higher in human asthmatics, we determined whether engagement of CD36 or PAFR on epithelial or dendritic cells contributes to HDM allergy development. Testing bone marrow chimeric mice revealed that CD36 engagement on radioresistant cells and PAFR engagement on radioresistant and radiosensitive cells in the lung promote allergic responses to HDMs. Additionally, passive anti–PC IgM Abs administered intratracheally with HDMs decreased allergen uptake by epithelial cells and APCs in the lungs of C57BL/6 mice but not CD36−/− or PAFR−/− mice. These results show that CD36 and PAFR are important mediators of HDM allergy development and that inhibiting HDM engagement with PC receptors in the lung protects against allergic airway disease.
An 8-Week Neuromuscular Exercise Program for Patients With Mild to Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis: A Case Series Drawn From a Registered Clinical Trial
Authors: Clausen Brian , Holsgaard-Larsen Anders , Roos Ewa M. 
Published: June 2017

Objective:
To describe the feasibility of a neuromuscular exercise (NEMEX) program in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

Background:
Neuromuscular exercise has been increasingly used in patients with osteoarthritis to achieve sensorimotor control and improved daily function.

Treatment:
A study of the first 23 physically active patients (11 men, 12 women; age range = 48–70 years) who had mild to moderate KOA and were undergoing an 8-week, twice-weekly program, consisting of 11 exercises with 3 to 4 levels of difficulty, as part of an ongoing randomized controlled trial. The level of difficulty was noted for each exercise and session. We recorded exertion, pain, adverse events, and adherence. For the 18 patients who participated in 6 or more sessions, a progression of at least 1 level of difficulty (out of 3–4) was observed in half or more of the exercises. However, few patients progressed to jumping activities. Exertion ranged from light to very heavy. Four patients reported a clinically relevant increase in short-term pain after 1 to 2 of the 16 scheduled sessions. No adverse musculoskeletal events were reported. Notably, 3 patients dropped out due to increased (n = 2) or persisting (n = 1) knee pain. However, their pain ratings did not show worsening symptoms.

Uniqueness:
This NEMEX-KOA program was designed for physically active middle-aged patients with mild to moderate KOA; therefore, it involved exercises and difficulty levels that were more challenging than a previously described NEMEX program for patients eligible for total joint replacement.

Conclusions:
In patients with baseline mild to severe pain with activity, the NEMEX-KOA program was feasible. Progression was achieved with few incidents of clinically relevant increases in pain and no adverse events. However, jumping activities were not feasible. These findings hold promise for investigating the efficacy of the NEMEX-KOA program in individuals with mild to moderate KOA.
Universities and standardization instruments: the willingness to put an end to the organized anarchy
Authors: Charlier Jean Emile , Croché Sarah 
Published: June 2017

Many sociologists have for a long time based their research on the work published in the 1970s, in which universities were regarded as organisations that operate in a particular way. They were approximated to “organised anarchies” (Cohen et al., 1972) or to “loosely coupled systems” (Weick, 1976 ; Orton &amp; Weick, 1990) which were considered host to “unclear technologies” (Cohen &amp; March, 1974). This article call into question these concepts and confront them with the evolution of the piloting way of contemporary establishments of European higher education. The empirical material for this paper comes from the analysis of texts and reforms initiated in European universities. The paper will show the effects of standardization instruments on academic profession and how these instruments (and notably the learning outcomes approach) transform each segment of the university and generate a deep interdependence between all of them.

Published: June 2017

In this article the urgent problem of control systems modeling of professional competences and mathematical knowledge assessment of students is discussed. Pedagogical expediency in management of students` cognitive activity by using of new informational technologies instruments in monitoring and assessment of knowledge is proved. The possibility of fractal methods application in perfecting of the system of computer monitoring of mathematical knowledge of students as a part of the adaptive training systems is considered and realized. The design of the technology of computer monitoring of students` knowledge on the basis of fractal methods includes the following stages: development of cross-disciplinary fractal and organized base of key mathematical concepts; the creation of the expansible bank of educational and cognitive and research tasks, which is coordinated with fractal structure of the conceptual framework; the development of the program module, which is focused on individual estimation of quality of students` educational cognitive activity in two characteristics — depth of knowledge based on the Hurst exponent and the size of synergetic effect of educational cognitive activity. The software realization of technology of the computerized control of training in mathematical disciplines quality as a part of the adaptive training system is enabled in the programming language C#. The experience of implementation and operation of the controlling systems realized in the adaptive training systems based on the fractal model operation showed reliability of their work and allowed to increase the quality of educational process management and its effectiveness in general. Using of fractal techniques in computer assessment of mathematical knowledge of students makes it possible to increase the accuracy and speed of evaluation of the students` knowledge.
Practise makes perfect: developing critical thinking and writing skills in undergraduate science students
Authors: Hall Sarah 
Published: June 2017

Successful undergraduate students are required to demonstrate critical thinking and writing skills in their final year dissertation, but the early years of some science degrees may not fully prepare them for this challenge. This study investigated the value of earlier engagement with scientific literacy skills by assessing the impact of rehersing critical thinking and extended writing skills earlier in the degree programme. This paper reports a small-scale study of a single cohort of students on BSc (Hons.) Biomedical Sciences degree schemes at a research-intensive university and describes quantitative analysis of students' performance in two research-driven writing tasks at different stages of the degree: a literature review in Year 2 and a research dissertation in the final year. The results of this study support the comcept that earlier exposure to extended writing tasks requiring scientific literacy skills is beneficial to students whose final year project has similar literature-based format; the experience of completing the literature review appears particularly valuable in improving the academic performance of weaker students.

Modeling regional air quality and climate: improving organic aerosol and aerosol activation processes in WRF/Chem version 3.7.1
Authors: Yahya Khairunnisa , Glotfelty Timothy , Wang Kai , Zhang Yang , Nenes Athanasios 
Published: June 2017

Abstract. Air quality and climate influence each other through the uncertain processes of aerosol formation and cloud droplet activation. In this study, both processes are improved in the Weather, Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRF/Chem) version 3.7.1. The existing Volatility Basis Set (VBS) treatments for organic aerosol (OA) formation in WRF/Chem are improved by considering the following: the secondary OA (SOA) formation from semi-volatile primary organic aerosol (POA), a semi-empirical formulation for the enthalpy of vaporization of SOA, and functionalization and fragmentation reactions for multiple generations of products from the oxidation of VOCs. Over the continental US, 2-month-long simulations (May to June 2010) are conducted and results are evaluated against surface and aircraft observations during the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) campaign. Among all the configurations considered, the best performance is found for the simulation with the 2005 Carbon Bond mechanism (CB05) and the VBS SOA module with semivolatile POA treatment, 25 % fragmentation, and the emissions of semi-volatile and intermediate volatile organic compounds being 3 times the original POA emissions. Among the three gas-phase mechanisms (CB05, CB6, and SAPRC07) used, CB05 gives the best performance for surface ozone and PM2. 5 concentrations. Differences in SOA predictions are larger for the simulations with different VBS treatments (e.g., nonvolatile POA versus semivolatile POA) compared to the simulations with different gas-phase mechanisms. Compared to the simulation with CB05 and the default SOA module, the simulations with the VBS treatment improve cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) predictions (normalized mean biases from −40.8 % to a range of −34.6 to −27.7 %), with large differences between CB05–CB6 and SAPRC07 due to large differences in their OH and HO2 predictions. An advanced aerosol activation parameterization based on the Fountoukis and Nenes (2005) series reduces the large negative CDNC bias associated with the default Abdul Razzak and Ghan (2000) parameterization from −35.4 % to a range of −0.8 to 7.1 %. However, it increases the errors due to overpredictions of CDNC, mainly over the northeastern US. This work indicates a need to improve other aerosol–cloud–radiation processes in the model, such as the spatial distribution of aerosol optical depth and cloud condensation nuclei, in order to further improve CDNC predictions.
