description: Objective: To test whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) could act as a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker in ALS, comparing hs-cTnT to neurofilament light (NfL). Methods: We performed a case-control study, including 150 ALS patients, 28 ALS mimics, and 108 healthy controls, and a follow-up study of the ALS patients, during 2014–2020 in Stockholm, Sweden. We compared concentrations of hs-cTnT in plasma and NfL in the cerebrospinal fluid between cases and controls. To evaluate the diagnostic performance, we calculated the area under the curve (AUC). Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated from Cox models to assess associations between hs-cTnT and NfL at ALS diagnosis and risk of death. The longitudinal analysis measured changes of hs-cTnT and NfL since ALS diagnosis. Results: We noted higher levels of hs-cTnT in ALS patients (median: 16.5 ng/L) than in ALS mimics (11 ng/L) and healthy controls (6 ng/L). Both hs-cTnT and NfL could distinguish ALS patients from ALS mimics, with higher AUC noted for NfL (AUC 0.88; 95%CI 0.79–0.97). Disease progression correlated weakly with hs-cTnT (Pearson’s r = 0.18, p = 0.04) and moderately with NfL (Pearson’s r = 0.41, p < 0.001). Shorter survival was associated with higher levels of NfL at diagnosis (HR 1.08, 95%CI 1.04–1.11), but not hs-cTnT. hs-cTnT increased (12.61 ng/L per year, 95%CI 7.14–18.06) whereas NfL decreased longitudinally since ALS diagnosis. Conclusions: NfL is a stronger diagnostic and prognostic biomarker than hs-cTnT for ALS. However, hs-cTnT might constitute a disease progression biomarker as it increases longitudinally. The underlying causes for this increase need to be investigated.

description: Problem, research strategy, and findings: The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is the most common financing mechanism for subsidized housing production in America. We investigate how and to what extent states are currently using the LIHTC to prepare for and recover from disasters. We systematically code guidelines in the 2017 LIHTC qualified allocation plans from 53 states and territories to identify disaster-related provisions. Twenty-four states and territories include provisions for preparedness or recovery in their allocation plans, of which 13 include only preparedness provisions, 3 include only recovery provisions, and 8 include both types. Preparedness provisions address project design and siting, whereas recovery provisions direct credits to disaster-affected areas or the replacement of damaged units. Using t tests, we compare three sets of states—those without any disaster-related provisions, those with either preparedness or recovery provisions, and those with both types of provisions—across measures of housing cost, demographic composition, disaster exposure, and political ideology. States with higher homeownership rates, lower home values, and lower rents are more likely than other states to have either or both types of provisions. Future research should investigate state adoption of disaster-related LIHTC provisions to better inform affordable housing policy. Takeaway for practice: State governments could mitigate disaster-related hazards and help speed recovery by including locally relevant preparedness and recovery provisions in their LIHTC allocation plans. These provisions could encourage resilient construction, weigh the social costs and benefits of LIHTC construction in floodplains, or waive program rules to address postdisaster housing shortages.

description: We present a comparison of the gas and dust properties of the dense interstellar matter in six nearby star-forming regions (d<500 pc): rho Oph, Cha I, R CrA, IC 348, NGC 1333, and Orion. We measure from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations the X-ray absorption toward pre-main sequence stars (PMS) without accretion disks (i.e., Class III sources) to obtain the total hydrogen column density N_{H,X}. For these sources we take from the literature the corresponding dust extinction in the near-infrared, A_J, or when unavailable we derive it from SED fitting using the available DENIS, 2MASS, ISOCAM and other data. We then compare N_{H,X} and A_J for each object, up to unprecedently high extinction. For the rho Oph dark cloud with a relatively large sample of 20 bona-fide Class III sources, we probe the extinction up to A_J ~2 sigma) than the galactic value, derived using the standard extinction curve (R_V = 3.1). This result is consistent with the recent downwards revision of the metallicity of the Sun and stars in the solar vicinity. We find that the rho Oph dense cloud has the same metallicity than the local ISM when assuming that the galactic gas-to-dust ratio remains unchanged. The difference between galactic and local values of the gas-to-dust ratio can thus be attributed entirely to a difference in metallicity.

description: Problem, research strategy, and findings: Of the three primary components of housing affordability measures—rent, transportation, and utilities—utility costs are the least understood yet are the one area where the cost burden can be reduced without household relocation. Existing data sources to estimate energy costs are limited to surveys with small samples and low spatial and temporal resolution, such as the American Housing Survey and the Residential Energy Consumption Survey. In this study, we present a new method for small-area estimates of household energy cost burdens (ECBs) that leverages actual building energy use data for approximately 13,000 multifamily properties across five U.S. cities and links energy costs to savings opportunities by analyzing 3,000 energy audit reports. We examine differentials in cost burdens across household demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and analyze spatial, regional, and building-level variations in energy use and expenditures. Our results show the average low-income household has an ECB of 7%, whereas higher income households have an average burden of 2%. Notably, even within defined income bands, minority households experience higher ECBs than non-Hispanic White households. For lower income households, low-cost energy improvements could reduce energy costs by as much as $1,500 per year. Takeaway for practice: In this study we attempt to shift the focus of energy efficiency investments to their impact on household cost burdens and overall housing affordability. Our analysis explores new and unique data generated from measurement-driven urban energy policies and shows low-income households disproportionately bear the burden of poor-quality and energy-inefficient housing. Cities can use these new data resources and methods to develop equity-based energy policies that treat energy efficiency and climate mitigation as issues of environmental justice and that apply data-driven, targeted policies to improve quality of life for the most vulnerable urban residents.

description: Pentatrocha new genus
 Description. Adult females large, sessile, with bulky foot and trunk. Corona large, tilted to dorsally, with distinct cingulum and trochus; antero-medially concave around buccal area. Corona with two pairs of antero-lateral lobes and a single middorsal lobe, all lobes separated by shallow sinuses. A dorsal ovifer present posterior to the cloacal aperture. Gelatinous case amorphous, weakly developed, without exogenous elements. Trophi malleoramate. The single species in this genus is the largest extant rotifer.
 Differential diagnosis. The new genus is characterised by its unique corona morphology, in combination with the presence of an ovifer. The latter feature is shared with Sinantherina Bory de St. Vincent, which has a heart-shaped corona without distinct lobes. Of other Flosculariidae, only Octotrocha Thorpe and Floscularia Ehrenberg have a lobed corona. Both Octotrocha and Floscularia have a corona provided with a large, inverse V- or U-shaped dorsal concave sinus that lacks cilia; a dorsal interruption of the corona is absent or, at best, not discernible in Pentatrocha new genus.
 Type species. Pentatrocha gigantea new species (Monotype)
 Etymology. The name of the genus refers to the autapomorphic feature of the genus, the five-lobed corona (G., penta, five + G., trocha, wheel)

description: (Abridged) We present an investigation of kinematical imprints of AGN feedback on the Warm Ionized gas Medium (WIM) of massive early-type galaxies (ETGs). To this end, we take a two-fold approach that involves a comparative analysis of Halpha velocity fields in 123 local ETGs from the CALIFA integral field spectroscopy survey with 20 simulated galaxies from high-resolution hydrodynamic cosmological SPHgal simulations. The latter were re-simulated for two modeling setups, one with and another without AGN feedback. In order to quantify the effects of AGN feedback on gas kinematics we measure three parameters that probe deviations from simple regular rotation using the kinemetry package. These indicators trace the possible presence of distinct kinematic components in Fourier space (k3,5/k1), variations in the radial profile of the kinematic major axis (sigma_PA), and offsets between the stellar and gas velocity fields (Delta Phi). These quantities are monitored in the simulations from a redshift 3 to 0.2 to assess the connection between black hole accretion history, stellar mass growth and kinematical perturbation of the WIM. Observed local massive galaxies show a broad range of irregularities, indicating disturbed warm gas motions, irrespective of being classified via diagnostic lines as AGN or not. Simulations of massive galaxies with AGN feedback generally exhibit higher irregularity parameters than without AGN feedback, more consistent with observations. Besides AGN feedback, other processes like major merger events or infalling gas clouds can lead to elevated irregularity parameters, but they are typically of shorter duration. More specifically, k3,5/k1 is most sensitive to AGN feedback, whereas Delta Phi is most strongly affected by gas infall.

As Matthias C. Kettemann (Leibniz Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI) and HIIG) explains, a normative turn has taken place on the internet which has led to the emergence of normative order of the internet.

description: All symmetry allowed couplings between the 4f^2-electron ground state doublet of trivalent praseodymium in PrRu4P12 and PrFe4P12 and displacements of the phosphorus, iron or ruthenium ions are considered. Two types of displacements can change the crystal lattice from body-centred cubic to simple orthorhombic or to simple cubic. The first type lowers the point group symmetry from tetrahedral to orthorhombic, while the second type leaves it unchanged, with corresponding space group reductions Im3 --> Pmmm and Im3 --> Pm3 respectively. In former case, the lower point-group symmetry splits the degeneracy of the 4f^2 doublet into states with opposite quadrupole moment, which then leads to anti-quadrupolar ordering, as in PrFe4P12. Either kind of displacement may conspire with nesting of the Fermi surface to cause the metal-insulator or partial metal-insulator transition observed in PrFe4P12 and PrRu4P12. We investigate this scenario using band-structure calculations, and it is found that displacements of the phosphorus ions in PrRu4P12 (with space group reduction Im3 --> Pm3) open a gap everywhere on the Fermi surface.

description: Generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes, where single parity-check (SPC) constraint nodes are replaced with generalized constraint (GC) nodes, are a promising class of codes for low latency communication. In this paper, a practical construction of quasi-cyclic (QC) GLDPC codes is proposed, where the proportion of generalized constraints is determined by an asymptotic analysis. We analyze the message passing process and complexity of a GLDPC code over the additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and present a constraint-to-variable update rule based on the specific codewords of the component code. The block error rate (BLER) performance of the GLDPC codes, combined with a complementary outer code, is shown to outperform a variety of state-of-the-art code and decoder designs with suitable lengths and rates for the 5G Ultra Reliable Communication (URC) regime over an additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with quadrature PSK (QPSK) modulation.

description: Problem, research strategy, and findings: In the postwar period, cities in the United States installed pedestrian malls to support downtown retail as suburbanization lured shoppers to malls on the periphery. Many cities removed their malls after downtown retail continued to falter. This failure has fostered a negative perception of pedestrian malls among city planners and the general public. In this research I re-examine pedestrian malls as public space and ask why some cities removed their malls while others remain. I compiled a catalog of all 140 pedestrian malls built between 1959 and 1985 that provides the data to understand the full scope of the phenomenon during this era. The catalog also includes data that tests hypotheses about why some pedestrian malls survived, including climate, proximity to a university, and nearby population. I supplement the catalog with a survey of pedestrian mall managers to understand the role of renovation and management in their survival. The results show pedestrian malls are more likely to survive in places with temperate climates, near universities, and in growing cities, though there are exceptions. City governments or business improvement districts actively manage many remaining malls, and programming and periodic renovations have helped them remain vibrant. Takeaway for practice: Old pedestrian malls failed because cities installed them to save retail and did not consider the fundamentals of placemaking when siting and designing them. Many remaining pedestrian malls are in areas with high pedestrian volumes. Cities have continued to design and manage these spaces according to best practices. Planners considering new pedestrian spaces should not be deterred by the history of old pedestrian malls, as long as they choose their site carefully and manage the space to keep it safe, clean, and inviting.

description: Background: Conjunctival defects can be repaired with several mucosal tissues. The simplicity of harvesting oral mucosa and its wide availability makes it the preferred graft tissue for all indications requiring mucosal grafting. Through analysing the postsurgical outcomes and rate of revisions, this study explores the suitability of oral mucosa grafts, depending on the initial diagnosis. Methods: We reviewed all the files of patients with a history of oral mucosal graft surgery, performed at our clinic between 2012 and 2018, focusing on complications and revision rates. Results: In total, we analysed 173 oral mucosa grafts in 131 patients. The most common initial diagnosis was tumour resection, followed by surgical complications, postenucleation socket syndrome, trauma and ocular surface disorders. Complication and revision rates depended highly on the initial diagnosis. Revision rates were highest if the initial diagnosis included ocular surface disorders or chemical trauma. Conclusions: Oral mucosa grafting (OMG) is the most effective treatment for a wide range of ocular conditions involving conjunctival defects. Conjunctival defects that result from trauma or cicatricial surface diseases seem less suitable for OMG and may benefit from alternative graft tissue or treatment options.

description: We present a full result for the 2+1 flavor QCD equation of state. All the systematics are controlled, the quark masses are set to their physical values, and the continuum extrapolation is carried out. This extends our previous studies [JHEP 0601:089 (2006); 1011:077 (2010)] to even finer lattices and now includes ensembles with Nt = 6,8,10,12 up to Nt = 16. We use a Symanzik improved gauge and a stout-link improved staggered fermion action. Our findings confirm our earlier results. In order to facilitate the direct use of our equation of state we make our tabulated results available for download.

description: BACKGROUND: PentixaFor is a promising radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography in the detection of different tumor entities and other diseases. Until now, the synthesis of [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor was reported for the automated synthesis module from Scintomics® only. Our aim was to evaluate the automated synthesis of this radiopharmaceutical on a different module in order to make it available for a broader community. RESULTS: The synthesis of [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor with different amounts of PentixaFor (50 μg, 30 μg and 20 μg) on the Modular Lab PharmTracer (MLPT) from Eckert & Ziegler with the already established synthesis template for [68Ga]Ga-DOTATOC yielded best results with 50 μg PentixaFor for clinical multi-dose application. All different quality control parameters tested (e.g. sterility, stability and radiochemical purity) were in accordance with the European Pharmacopoeia. CONCLUSIONS: [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor was successfully synthesized fully-automated on the synthesis module Modular Lab PharmTracer and can be used for multi-dose application in clinical settings.

description: I summarize some results obtained from a canonical quantization of gravitational collapse. The quantization is carried out in Kuchar variables on the LeMaitre-Tolman-Bondi family of spacetimes. I show how mass quantization, the black hole entropy and Hawking radiation may be understood in these models. Hawking radiation is obtained in the WKB approximation but the first order quantum gravity correction makes the near-horizon spectrum non-thermal, suggesting that unitarity is preserved. The quantization may be used to study quantum gravity effects in collapse leading to the formation of both covered and naked singularities.

description: Modern soft X-ray observatories can yield unique insights into time domain astrophysics, and a huge amount of information is stored - and largely unexploited - in data archives. Like a treasure-hunt, the EXTraS project harvested the hitherto unexplored temporal domain information buried in the serendipitous data collected by the European Photon Imaging Camera instrument onboard the XMM- Newton satellite in 20 years of observations. The result is a vast catalogue, describing the temporal behaviour of hundreds of thousands of X-ray sources. But the catalogue is just a starting point because it has to be, in its turn, further analysed. During the project an education activity has been defined and run in several workshops for high school students in Italy, Germany and UK. The final goal is to engage the students, and in perspective citizen scientists, to go through the whole validation process: they look into the data and try to discover new sources, or to characterize already known sources. This paper describes how the EXTraS science gateway is used to accomplish these tasks and highlights the first discovery, a flaring X-ray source in the globular cluster NGC 6540.

description: Natural autoantibodies to the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R-aAb) have been described in relation to Graves' ophthalmopathy. Other physiological roles of natural IGF1R-aAb are not known. We hypothesized that IGF1R-aAb may be related to muscle development. Serum samples (n = 408) from young overweight subjects (n = 143) were collected during a lifestyle intervention study. Anthropometric parameters, along with leptin, IGF1 and IGF1R-aAb concentrations, were analyzed, and the subjects were categorized into positive or negative for IGF1R-aAb. Eleven out of 143 subjects (7.7%) were positive for IGF1R-aAb. Identified IGF1R-aAb were molecularly characterized and showed antagonistic activity in vitro impairing IGF1-mediated IGF1R activation. Mean body weight, height or age were similar between IGF1R-aAb-positive and -negative subjects, but IGF1 concentrations differed. Jumping ability, as well as right and left handgrip strengths, were lower in the IGF1R-aAb-positive as compared to the IGF1R-aAb-negative subjects. We conclude that natural IGF1R-aAb are detectable in apparently healthy subjects and are capable of antagonizing IGF1-dependent IGF1R activation. Moreover, the presence of IGF1R-aAb is associated with poor physical strength. Although the causality of this association is unclear, the data imply a potential influence of IGF1R autoimmunity on muscle development.

description: Photosynthesis is a highly efficient process, nearly 100 percent of the red photons falling on the surface of leaves reach the reaction center and get transformed into energy. Most theoretical studies on photosynthetic complexes focus mainly on the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex obtained from green-sulfur bacteria. Quantum coherence was speculated to play a significant role in this very efficient transport process. However, recent reports indicate quantum coherence via exciton transport may not be as relevant as coherence originating via vibronic processes to Photosynthesis. Regardless of the origin, there has been a debate on whether quantum coherence results in any speedup of the exciton transport process. To address this we model exciton transport in FMO using a quantum stochastic walk (QSW) with only incoherence, pure dephasing, and with both dephasing and incoherence. We find that the QSW model with pure dephasing leads to a substantial speedup in exciton transport as compared to a QSW model which includes both dephasing and incoherence and one which includes only incoherence, both of which experience slowdowns.

description: Nomadism is a behaviour where individuals respond to environmental variability with movements that seem unpredictable in timing and direction. In contrast with migration, the mechanisms underlying nomadic movements remain largely unknown. Here, we focus on a form of apparent nomadism in a polygynous shorebird, the pectoral sandpiper (Calidris melanotos). Local mating opportunities are unpredictable and most males sampled multiple sites across a considerable part of their breeding range. We test the hypothesis that individuals decided which part of the breeding range to sample in a given season based on the prevailing wind conditions. Using movement data from 80 males in combination with wind data from a global reanalysis model, we show that male pectoral sandpipers flew with wind support more often than expected by chance. Stronger wind support led to increased ground speed and was associated with a longer flight range. Long detours (loop-like flights) can be explained by individuals flying initially with the wind. Individuals did not fly westwards into the Russian Arctic without wind support, but occasionally flew eastwards into the North American Arctic against strong headwinds. Wind support might be less important for individuals flying eastwards, because their autumn migration journey will be shorter. Our study suggests that individuals of a species with low site fidelity choose their breeding site opportunistically based on the prevailing wind conditions.

description: The SPI anticoincidence shield consists of 91 BGO crystals and is operated as a nearly omnidirectional gamma-ray burst detector above ~75 keV. Since the start of the mission 269 gamma-ray burst candidates have been detected. 110 bursts have been confirmed with the instruments included in the 3rd Interplanetary Network. Here we present a preliminary statistical analysis of the SPI-ACS sample of gamma-ray bursts and gamma-ray burst candidates; in particular we discuss the duration distribution of the bursts. A prominent population of short burst candidates (duration <200ms) is found which is discovered to be strongly contaminated by cosmic-ray nuclei interacting in the detectors.

description: Blockage of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signal pathway is effective to increase the cytotoxic effects of oncolytic virus on cancer cells, but the detailed mechanisms are still largely unknown. Based on this, the present study managed to investigate the anti-tumor effects of PI3K inhibitor ZSTK474 and oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus VSVΔ51 combination treatments on osteosarcoma (OS) in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, ZSTK474 aggravated the inhibiting effects of VSVΔ51 on osteosarcoma development by triggering endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress mediated apoptotic cell death. Mechanistically, either ZSTK474 or VSVΔ51 alone had limited effects on cell viability in osteosarcoma cells, while ZSTK474 and VSVΔ51 combination treatments significantly induced osteosarcoma cell apoptosis. Interestingly, VSVΔ51 increased the expression levels of IRE1α and p-PERK to initiate ER stress in osteosarcoma cells, which were aggravated by co-treating cells with ZSTK474. Next, the promoting effects of ZSTK474-VSVΔ51 combined treatment on osteosarcoma cell death were abrogated by the ER-stress inhibitor 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA), indicating that ZSTK474 enhanced the cytotoxic effects of VSVΔ51 on osteosarcoma cells in an ER-stress dependent manner. Finally, the xenograft tumor-bearing mice models were established, and the results showed that ZSTK474-VSVΔ51 combined treatment synergistically hindered tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma cells in vivo. Taken together, our data suggested that ZSTK474 was a novel agent to enhance the cytotoxic effects of VSVΔ51 on osteosarcoma by aggravating ER-stress, and the present study might provide alternative therapy treatments for osteosarcoma in clinic.

description: Die prächirurgische Diagnostik steht aktuell vor der Herausforderung zunehmend komplexerer Patientenfälle mit nicht-läsioneller MRT-Bildgebung. Um so wichtiger ist die Identifikation objektiver klinischer Parameter mit guter lokalisierender Eigenschaft, um dennoch eine korrekte Identifikation der Anfallsursprungszone sicherzustellen. Die Integration quantifizierbarer Semiologien in die EEG-Video-Diagnostik, wie die iktale Vokalisation oder die Bewegungsanalyse, kann die Qualität der Untersuchung zukünftig steigern. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht eine multimodale Diagnostik eine erhöhte Diagnosesicherheit, wobei erst die Zusammenschau der verschiedenen Unter-suchungsbefunde eine sinnvolle Befundinterpretation erlaubt, wie am Beispiel der PET Diagnostik bei extratemporaler Epilepsie gezeigt werden konnte. Ähnliches gilt für die differentialdiagnostische Abgrenzung nicht-epileptischer Erkrankungen wie der Migräne mit Aura, die für eine verlässliche Diagnosestellung ebenfalls häufig eine Untersuchung im EEG-Video Monitoring erfordert. Die aufwändige und kostenintensive Diagnostik limitiert die Kapazitäten für die Durchführung einer prächirurgischen Diagnostik. Die Erkenntnisse über die ETP- bzw. Anfallsfrequenz könnten dazu beitragen, das Verhältnis zwischen Diagnosesicherheit und möglichst kurzer Ableitedauer zu optimieren. Die automatisierte Anfallsdetektion und -klassifikation basierend auf quantitativen Anfallsparametern könnte ferner eine wertvolle Screeningmethode zur Identifikation potentieller Operationskandidaten darstellen und als solche eine wertvolle Erweiterung der prächirurgischen Diagnostik darstellen. Außerdem könnte das Therapieansprechen durch zuverlässige Anfallsfrequenzbestimmung objektiviert werden. Die identifizierten Intensitätscharakteristika der iktalen Vokalisation bilden einen ersten Ansatz, hier auch fokale Anfälle automatisiert erfassen zu können. Für Patienten, bei denen medikamentös und ggf. operativ keine Anfallsfreiheit erzielt werden konnte, stehen Neurostimulationsverfahren als Drittlinientherapie zur Verfügung. Die Erfahrungen auf diesem Gebiet sind vergleichsweise kurz und der Erkenntnisgewinn basiert auf Empirie. Wie für die Thalamusstimulation dargelegt, konnten systematische elektrophysiologische, klinische und bildgebende Untersuchungen dazu beitragen, ein besseres Verständnis der Wirkungsweise der ANT-DBS zu erlangen und für den einzelnen Patienten optimierte Stimulationsparadigmen zu identifizieren. Nicht-invasive Stimulationsverfahren wie die tDCS könnten mittelfristig die Behandlungsmöglichkeiten entscheidend erweitern.

description: Gestational diabetes (GDM) is among the most challenging diseases in westernized countries, affecting mother and child, immediately and in later life. Obesity is a major risk factor for GDM. However, the impact visceral obesity and related epigenetics play for GDM etiopathogenesis have hardly been considered so far. Our recent findings within the prospective 'EaCH' cohort study of women with GDM or normal glucose tolerance (NGT), showed the role, critical factors of insulin resistance (i.e., adiponectin, insulin receptor) may have for GDM pathophysiology with epigenetically modified expression in subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissues. Here we investigated the expression and promoter methylation of key inflammatory candidates, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) in maternal adipose tissues collected during caesarian section (GDM, n = 19; NGT, n = 22). The mRNA expression of TNF-α and SOCS3 was significantly increased in VAT, but not in SAT, of GDM patients vs. NGT, accompanied by specific alterations of respective promoter methylation patterns. In conclusion, we propose a critical role of VAT and visceral obesity for the pathogenesis of GDM, with epigenetic alterations of the expression of inflammatory factors as a potential factor.
