description: Background. Currently, there is no reliable nonsurgical treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This study, therefore, investigates if doxycycline reduces AAA growth and the number of rupture-related deaths in a murine ApoE-/- model of AAA and whether gadofosveset trisodium-based MRI differs between animals with and without doxycycline treatment. Methods. Nine ApoE-/- mice were implanted with osmotic minipumps continuously releasing angiotensin II and treated with doxycycline (30 mg/kg/d) in parallel. After four weeks, MRI was performed at 3T with a clinical dose of the albumin-binding probe gadofosveset (0.03 mmol/kg). Results were compared with previously published wild-type control animals and with previously studied ApoE-/- animals without doxycycline treatment. Differences in mortality were also investigated between these groups. Results. In a previous study, we found that approximately 25% of angiotensin II-infused ApoE-/- mice died, whereas in the present study, only one out of 9 angiotensin II-infused and doxycycline-treated ApoE-/- mice (11.1%) died within 4 weeks. Furthermore, doxycycline-treated ApoE-/- mice showed significantly lower contrast-to-noise (CNR) values (p = 0.017) in MRI compared to ApoE-/- mice without doxycycline treatment. In vivo measurements of relative signal enhancement (CNR) correlated significantly with ex vivo measurements of albumin staining (R-2 = 0.58). In addition, a strong visual colocalization of albumin-positive areas in the fluorescence albumin staining with gadolinium distribution in LA-ICP-MS was shown. However, no significant difference in aneurysm size was observed after doxycycline treatment. Conclusion. The present experimental in vivo study suggests that doxycycline treatment may reduce rupture-related deaths in AAA by slowing endothelial damage without reversing aneurysm growth.

description: Objectives: To assess the individual treatment strategies among international experts in peritoneal carcinosis, specifically their decision-making in the process of patient selection for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in women suffering from ovarian cancer, to identify relevant decision-making criteria, and to quantify the level of consensus for or against HIPEC. Methods: The members of the executive committee of the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) were asked to describe the clinical conditions under which they would recommend HIPEC in patients with ovarian cancer and to describe any disease or patient characteristics relevant to their decision. All answers were then merged and converted into decision trees. The decision trees were then analyzed by applying the objective consensus methodology. Results: Nine experts in surgical oncology provided information on their multidisciplinary treatment strategy including HIPEC for patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Three of the total of 12 experts did not perform HIPEC. Five criteria relevant to the decision on whether HIPEC is performed were applied. In patients with resectable disease, a peritoneal cancer index (PCI) <21, and epithelial ovarian cancer without distant metastasis, consent was received by 75% to perform HIPEC for women suffering from recurrent disease. Furthermore, in the primary disease setting, consent was received by 67% to perform HIPEC according to the same criteria. Discussion and Conclusion: Among surgical oncology experts in peritoneal surface malignancy and HIPEC, HIPEC plays an important role in primary and recurrent ovarian cancer, and the PCI is the most important criterion in this decision.

description: In this paper, we study the statistical properties of bookmarking behaviors in Delicious.com. We find that the interevent time distributions of bookmarking decays powerlike as interevent time increases at both individual and population level. Remarkably, we observe a significant change in the exponent when interevent time increases from intra-day to inter-day range. In addition, dependence of exponent on individual Activity is found to be different in the two ranges. These results suggests that mechanisms driving human actions are different in intra- and inter-day range. Instead of monotonically increasing with Activity, we find that inter-day exponent peaks at value around 3. We further show that less active users are more likely to resemble poisson process in bookmarking. Based on the temporal-preference model, preliminary explanations for this dependence have been given . Finally, a universal behavior in inter-day scale is observed by considering the rescaled variable.

description: Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with ESRD. One rare complication after transplantation is the development of renal allograft compartment syndrome (RACS). We present a case of 1 patient who developed RACS due to compression of the transplant vein, which was then treated by salvaging the kidney transplant using urgent decompression surgery with mesh fascial closure. We postulate that this technique is safe and should be the treatment of choice for patients with RACS.

description: Several independent cosmological tests have shown evidences that the energy density of the Universe is dominated by a dark energy component, which cause the present accelerated expansion. The large scale structure formation can be used to probe dark energy models, and the mass function of dark matter haloes is one of the best statistical tools to perform this study. We present here a statistical analysis of mass functions of galaxies under a homogeneous dark energy model, proposed in the work of Percival (2005), using an observational flux-limited X-ray cluster survey, and CMB data from WMAP. We compare, in our analysis, the standard Press-Schechter (PS) approach (where a Gaussian distribution is used to describe the primordial density fluctuation field of the mass function), and the PL (Power Law) mass function (where we apply a nonextensive q-statistical distribution to the primordial density field). We conclude that the PS mass function cannot explain at the same time the X-ray and the CMB data (even at 99% confidence level), and the PS best fit dark energy equation of state parameter is $ω=-0.58$, which is distant from the cosmological constant case. The PL mass function provides better fits to the HIFLUGCS X-ray galaxy data and the CMB data; we also note that the $ω$ parameter is very sensible to modifications in the PL free parameter, $q$, suggesting that the PL mass function could be a powerful tool to constrain dark energy models.

description: We report 2 cases of de novo renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in renal grafts after transplantation. Both patients underwent nephron sparing surgery (NSS) 211 and 167 months after transplantation, revealing papillary RCC with a tumour size >4 cm (pT1a). Within a follow-up of 25 and 32 months after NSS, a stable renal function without indication for dialysis was present. No recurrence of RCC in both cases was reported within the yearly routine examinations. NSS in kidney allografts is a safe procedure with preservation of renal function.

We vary the density of the foam layer and extract geometrical measures by image analysis. We confirm the predicted scaling of the average contact number Z with $ϕ$ and compare the distribution of local contact numbers to a simple model. We further establish that the distribution of areas $p(A)$ strongly depends on $ϕ$. Finally, we find that the distribution of contact forces $p(f)$ systematically varies with density.

description: The better understanding of the biological behavior of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) organ manifestations and the increase in clinical experience warrant a revision of previously published guidelines. Duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasias (DP-NENs) are still the second most common manifestation in MEN1 and, besides NENs of the thymus, remain a leading cause of death. DP-NENs are thus of main interest in the effort to reevaluate recommendations for their diagnosis and treatment. Especially over the last 2 years, more clinical experience has documented the follow-up of treated and untreated (natural-course) DP-NENs. It was the aim of the international consortium of experts in endocrinology, genetics, radiology, surgery, gastroenterology, and oncology to systematically review the literature and to present a consensus statement based on the highest levels of evidence. Reviewing the literature published over the past decade, the focus was on the diagnosis of F- and NF-DP-NENs within the MEN1 syndrome in an effort to further standardize and improve treatment and follow-up, as well as to establish a “logbook” for the diagnosis and treatment of DP-NENs. This shall help further reduce complications and improve long-term treatment results in these rare tumors. The following international consensus statement builds upon the previously published guidelines of 2001 and 2012 and attempts to supplement the recommendations issued by various national and international societies.
Epstein-Barr virus infection and its lifelong autoimmune ramifications in developed and developing nations
Creators: name: Jafari-Minab, Rana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Background. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is a major cause of malignancy worldwide. Maternal antibodies are thought to prevent EBV infection because infection is uncommon in early infancy. Additionally, maternal HIV infection is associated with an increased incidence of EBV infection in exposed infants possibly resulting from impaired transfer of EBV maternal antibodies. EBV, possibly in its acute form manifesting as infectious mononucleosis (IM), is also the highest environmental risk factor for the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), a devastating neurologic disease caused by autoimmune destruction of myelin. IM can be diagnosed by the presence of heterophile antibodies which target an antigen that is akin to certain myelin glycans in the brain. We hypothesized that maternal antibodies can protect against EBV acquisition by studying infants with and without maternal HIV exposure. Furthermore, , since the degeneration of myelin is a hallmark of MS, we hypothesized that EBV infection, specifically IM, primes the immune system to cross-react and attack myelin. Methods. Ugandan infants were followed for EBV acquisition from birth and measured antibody binding to EBV glycoproteins involved in B cell and epithelial cell entry, as well as viral neutralization and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Serum antibodies against major brain glycans were measured using a Luminex based glycan array for 6 infant samples (pre-post EBV infection) and 9 adults with IM. Results. HIV-exposed uninfected infants had significantly higher titers than HIV-unexposed uninfected infants for all EBV-binding and neutralizing antibodies measured (p<0.01), but not ADCC activity, which was similar between groups. No antibody measure was associated with a decreased risk of EBV acquisition in the cohort. IM-positive sera had 10 times the anti-glycan antibodies to major brain glycans compared to pre and post-EBV infected infants, while there was no significant difference between pre-post EBV infected infant samples. Conclusions. Our findings indicate that in this cohort maternal antibody did not protect infants against EBV infection through viral neutralization. The increase in anti-myelin antibodies in individuals with IM suggests that the development of cross-reactivity towards myelin may be a mechanistic link between IM and MS.

description: Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify factors impacting recipient sensitization rates and paediatric renal transplant patient outcomes. Patients and Methods: For this purpose, a retrospective analysis of 143 paediatric renal transplants was carried out. This included the evaluation of patient's and donor's demographic data, HLA mismatches, immunosuppressive therapy, rejection episodes, panel reactive antibody (PRA) and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). Results: The mean patient age at the point of transplant receival was 11.5 years with a mean follow up time of 9.33 +/- 5.05 years. It was noted that graft survival rates for donors over 59 years had the worst outcome. HLA match did not show statistically significant influence on graft outcome. Graft survival for more than one biopsy-proven rejection was also significantly shorter (p=0.008). PRA were found in 28% of the recipient's post-transplantation and showed association with lower graft survival rates (p<0.001). In the present study, 22.7% (5/22) of the patients with EBV infections presented a PTLD. Conclusion: In conclusion, good graft survival with reduced sensitization for future transplantations and minimize the risk of PTLD, can be ensured through a balance between donor age, HLA match and condition of the recipient should be sought. Furthermore, paediatric patients should preferably receive organs from donors between the age of 10 and 59. EBV infection could be a relevant factor for developing PTLD.

Evidence for a disaggregation of the universe

description: Combining the kinematical definitions of the two dimensionless parameters, the deceleration q(x) and the Hubble t0H(x), we get a differential equation (where x = t/t0 is the age of the universe relative to its present value t0). First integration gives the function H(x). The present values of the Hubble parameter H(1) [approximately t0H(1) \approx 1], and the deceleration parameter [approximately q(1)\approx - 0.5], determine the function H(x). A second integration gives the cosmological scale factor a(x). Differentiation of a(x) gives the speed of expansion of the universe. The evolution of the universe that results from our approach is: an initial extremely fast exponential expansion (inflation), followed by an almost linear expansion (first decelerated, and later accelerated). For the future, at approximately t \approx 3t0 there is a final exponential expansion, a second inflation that produces a disaggregation of the universe to infinity. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions for this disaggregation to occur. The precise value of the final age is given only with one parameter: the present value of the deceleration parameter q(1) \approx - 0.5]. This emerging picture of the history of the universe represents an important challenge, an opportunity for the immediate research on the Universe. These conclusions have been elaborated without the use of any particular cosmological model of the universe.

description: Objective: To create an improved planning method for pediatric regional hyperthermia (RHT) using the SIGMA-30 applicator (SIGMA-30). Materials and Methods: An electromagnetic model of SIGMA-30 was generated for use with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Applying special MATLAB-based algorithms, voxel models of a pediatric patient with pelvic rhabdomyosarcoma were created from Computed-Tomography (CT) contours for use with the FDTD method and the finite-difference (FD) method capable of using either temperature-independent or temperature-dependent perfusion models for solving the Bioheat Transfer Equation (BHTE). Patient models were parametrized regarding, first, the positioning in the applicator, second, the absorbed power range and, third, different perfusion models, resulting in the so-called Parametrized Treatment Models (PTMs). A novel dedicated optimization procedure was developed based on quantitative comparison of numerical calculations against temperature and power measurements from two RHT therapies. Results: Using measured data, a realistic absorbed power range in the patient model was estimated. Within this range, several FDTD and BHTE runs were performed and, applying the aforementioned optimization scheme, the best PTMs and perfusion models were identified for each therapy via a retrospective comparison with measurements in 14 temperature sensor positions: 5 in the tumor, 8 in rectum and one in bladder. Conclusion: A novel dedicated optimization procedure for identification of suitable patient-specific electromagnetic and thermal models, which can be used for improved patient planning, was developed and evaluated by comparison with treatment-derived measurements using SIGMA-30. The optimization procedure can be extended to other hyperthermia applicators and to other patient types, including adults.

description: Protein kinases are critical drug targets against cancer. Since the discovery of Gleevec, a specific inhibitor of Abl kinase, the capability of this drug to distinguish between Abl and other tyrosine kinases, such as Src, has been intensely investigated but the origin of Gleevec’s selectivity to Abl against Src is less studied. Here, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, dynamical cross correlation matrices (DCCM), dynamical network analysis, and binding free energy calculations to explore Gleevec’s selectivity based on the crystal structures of Abl, Src, and their common ancestors (ANC-AS) and the two constructed mutation systems (AS→Abl and AS→Src). MD simulations revealed that the conformation of the phosphate-binding loop (P-loop) was altered significantly in the AS→Abl system. DCCM results unraveled that mutations increased anticorrelated motions in the AS→Abl system. Community network analysis suggested that the P-loop established special contacts in the AS→Abl system that are devoid in the AS→Src system. The binding free energy calculations unveiled that the affinity of Gleevec to AS→Abl increased to near the Abl level, whereas its affinity to AS→Src decreased to near the Src level. Analysis of individual residue contributions showed that the differences were located mainly at the P-loop. This study is valuable for understanding the sensitivity of Gleevec to human tyrosine kinases.

description: Simulations are reported to investigate solid superheating and liquid supercooling of two-dimensional (2D) systems with a Yukawa interparticle potential. Motivated by experiments where a dusty plasma is heated and then cooled suddenly, we track particle motion using a simulation with Langevin dynamics. Hysteresis is observed when the temperature is varied rapidly in a heating and cooling cycle. As in the experiment, transient solid superheating, but not liquid supercooling, is observed. Solid superheating, which is characterized by solid structure above the melting point, is found to be promoted by a higher rate of temperature increase.

description: Final states with four tops appear in various extensions of the Standard Model. Alas, top reconstruction faces combinatorial issues as they show up as large multiplicity events. In this paper, we present a new procedure to determine whether new physics is in fact due to a new source for tops. We establish the use of this procedure to separate the signal from background (primarily $t\bar{t}$+jets). Our analysis is model independent, in that it does not use any details of the four top production (such as possible missing energy), and does not require b-tagging.

description: Purpose: The impact of acute rejection (AR) after liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on patient outcome is uncertain. This aim of this study is to investigate whether AR is associated with HCC relapse and overall survival. Patients and Methods: Patients undergoing LT for HCC between 2001 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed with regard to histopathological proven AR within the median time until recurrence. Cox's regression analysis was conducted revealing risk factors for HCC recurrence. Results: HCC recurred in 47 of 252 analyzed patients with a median time to recurrence of 20 months. Patients with AR (28.6%) had a significantly higher frequency of recurrence compared to patients without AR (13.0%,p=0.002). Multiple Cox regression analyses identified AR within 20 months to be an independent risk factor for HCC recurrence both as dichotomized (HR=2.91, 95%CI: 1.30-6.53; p=0.009) and as a continuous variable (HR=1.81, 95%CI: 1.28-2.54; p=0.001). HCC recurrence and AR were associated with higher grades of liver fibrosis one year after LT, when compared to patients without AR (p=0.019). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate an association of AR with HCC recurrence after LT with implications for intervals of monitoring in tumor surveillance. Graft fibrosis and immune mechanisms are potentially related and causal interactions are worth further investigation.

description: HIZOA J0836-43 is the most HI-massive (M_HI = 7.5x10^10 Msun) galaxy detected in the HIPASS volume and lies optically hidden behind the Milky Way. Markedly different from other extreme HI disks in the local universe, it is a luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) with an actively star forming disk (>50 kpc), central to its ~ 130 kpc gas disk, with a total star formation rate (SFR) of ~20.5 Msun yr^{-1}. Spitzer spectroscopy reveals an unusual combination of powerful polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission coupled to a relatively weak warm dust continuum, suggesting photodissociation region (PDR)-dominated emission. Compared to a typical LIRG with similar total infrared luminosity (L_TIR=10^11 Lsun), the PAHs in HIZOA J0836-43 are more than twice as strong, whereas the warm dust continuum (lambda > 20micron) is best fit by a star forming galaxy with L_TIR=10^10 Lsun. Mopra CO observations suggest an extended molecular gas component (H_2 + He > 3.7x10^9 Msun) and a lower limit of ~ 64% for the gas mass fraction; this is above average compared to local disk systems, but similar to that of z~1.5 BzK galaxies (~57%). However, the star formation efficiency (SFE = L_IR/L'_CO) for HIZOA J0836-43 of 140 Lsun (K km s^{-1} pc^2)^{-1} is similar to that of local spirals and other disk galaxies at high redshift, in strong contrast to the increased SFE seen in merging and strongly interacting systems. HIZOA J0836-43 is actively forming stars and building a massive stellar disk. Its evolutionary phase of star formation (M_stellar, SFR, gas fraction) compared to more distant systems suggests that it would be considered typical at redshift z~1. This galaxy provides a rare opportunity in the nearby universe for studying (at z~0.036) how disks were building and galaxies evolving at z~1, when similarly large gas fractions were likely more common.

Understanding African immigrant families’ support for their children’s mathematics learning in Canada
Creators: name: Yaro, Kwesi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: This research investigates African immigrant families' experiences and perspectives of their children's (10-15-year-old) mathematics learning in the home, community and school settings within the Greater Vancouver area. The study employs the concept of cultural capital framework and Afrocentric worldviews to understand how African immigrant parents support their children’s mathematics learning at the upper elementary and middle grade levels (Grades 4 - 8) in Canada. Specifically, the study addressed the following questions: i) which socio-cultural strategies and understandings do African immigrant families living in a large metropolis draw upon to support their children’s mathematics learning? ii) what are African immigrant families’ experiences and perspectives with respect to their (10–15-year olds) children’s mathematics learning in the home, community and school settings, within the Greater Vancouver Area? The study’s findings indicate that, African immigrant parents 1) were aware of the gatekeeping function of mathematics and its role in reproducing or disrupting race or class hierarchies and 2) perceived their support for their children’s mathematics fluency as a sure way for securing a status for counterbalancing their social exclusion and positioning themselves as people of education and intellect. The study’s findings also indicate that immigrant families leveraged various forms of capital in support of their children’s mathematics learning: Cultural, linguistic, aspirational, technological/digital and navigational capital. These forms of capital extend the narrowly conceived definitions of capital as accumulated wealth, resources, and experiences of white middle-class families. The results of the study are significant in that they provide much- needed insights into ways to build culturally responsive mathematics education informed by African immigrant students’ and families’ funds of knowledge.

description: Background: Anthropometric measurements are simple and reachable tools for self-evaluating and screening patients with a high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the accumulated relationship of obesity on the anthropometric characteristics of OSA is not well understood. The aim of the study was to show the time-dependent trend of OSA patients and compare overall and regional anthropometric between two ethnicities. Methods: A cumulative meta-analysis was performed to assess obesity metrics in patients with and without OSA between Asians and Caucasians. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus up to Jun 2020. Included studies used body mass index (BMI), neck circumference (NC), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) as measures of anthropometric features in the adult OSA population and controls, utilized in-lab polysomnography or home sleep testing with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or respiratory disturbance index (RDI) classification, reported ethnicity/race, and were published in English. Any studies lacking one of these criteria or sufficient data were excluded. Results: Forty studies with a total of 19,142 subjects were investigated. Comparison of changes between patients with and without OSA showed that OSA patients had a higher BMI [mean difference (MD) 3.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.51-3.73], NC (MD 3.10, 95% CI: 2.70-3.51), WC (MD 9.84, 95% CI: 8.42-11.26) and waist-hip ratio (MD 0.04, 95% CI: 0.03-0.05) than the control subjects. The accumulated time-dependent increase in population with OSA was significantly apparent with all anthropometric features. BMI increased from 2000 (MD 0.50) to 2012 (MD 3.08-3.48) and remained stable afterwards (MD 2.70-3.17), NC increased from 2000 (MD 0.40) to 2013 (MD 3.09) and remained stable afterwards too (MD 3.06-3.21). WC increased from 2000 (MD 2.00) to 2012 (MD 9.37-10.03) and also remained stable afterwards (MD 8.99-9.84). WHR was stable from 2000 to 2004 with an MD of 0.01 and then stable from 2007 onwards with an increased MD of 0.03-0.04. Compared with Caucasian patients, Asian patients had lower obesity relevant variates. Conclusions: BMI, NC, WC and WHR are associated with OSA in both ethnic groups. Anthropometry for overall and regional obesity could facilitate differentiation of patients with OSA from individuals without OSA by ethnicity.
