PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 207 consecutive patients who underwent transurethral resection for high-grade T1 transitional cell carcinoma of bladder at our institution between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2012. Of those patients, 77 underwent early cystectomy without BCG instillation and were excluded from the analysis. The overall survival and cancer-specific mortality were compared in 2 different therapy options groups (group of patients who received adjuvant BCG instillation vs. the group of patients who did not receive BCG therapy). Overall mortality was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, univariate comparisons were made with the log rank test. The cumulative incidence of deaths from bladder cancer (BC) was determined by univariate and multivariate competing risk analysis. Cox proportional hazard models for competing risks were used to study the combined effects of the variables on BC-specific mortality. RESULTS: The 5-year overall survival in patients with BCG instillation vs. patients who did not receive BCG therapy was 74 vs. 28% (p = 0.0016). In the univariate analysis, the adjuvant intravesical BCG treatment was associated with decreased cancer-specific mortality (p = 0.0062). In the multivariable analysis, the age and the BCG instillation were independent factors of overall survival (hazard ratio 0.26, 95% CI 0.15-0.46, p < 0.0001) and cancer-specific mortality (hazard ratio 0.29, 95% CI 0.12-0.71, p = 0.0067). CONCLUSION: Dispensing from adjuvant intravesical BCG treatment is associated with increased overall- and disease-specific mortality in patients with T1 high-grade transitional cell carcinoma of bladder.

Impact of Adjuvant Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Treatment on Patients with High-Grade T1 Bladder Cancer. PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of adjuvant intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment in patients with high-grade transitional cell carcinoma of bladder. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 207 consecutive patients who underwent transurethral resection for high-grade T1 transitional cell carcinoma of bladder at our institution between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2012. Of those patients, 77 underwent early cystectomy without BCG instillation and were excluded from the analysis. The overall survival and cancer-specific mortality were compared in 2 different therapy options groups (group of patients who received adjuvant BCG instillation vs. the group of patients who did not receive BCG therapy). Overall mortality was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, univariate comparisons were made with the log rank test. The cumulative incidence of deaths from bladder cancer (BC) was determined by univariate and multivariate competing risk analysis. Cox proportional hazard models for competing risks were used to study the combined effects of the variables on BC-specific mortality. RESULTS: The 5-year overall survival in patients with BCG instillation vs. patients who did not receive BCG therapy was 74 vs. 28% (p = 0.0016). In the univariate analysis, the adjuvant intravesical BCG treatment was associated with decreased cancer-specific mortality (p = 0.0062). In the multivariable analysis, the age and the BCG instillation were independent factors of overall survival (hazard ratio 0.26, 95% CI 0.15-0.46, p < 0.0001) and cancer-specific mortality (hazard ratio 0.29, 95% CI 0.12-0.71, p = 0.0067). CONCLUSION: Dispensing from adjuvant intravesical BCG treatment is associated with increased overall- and disease-specific mortality in patients with T1 high-grade transitional cell carcinoma of bladder. This observation confirms that adjuvant BCG instillation is a crucial part of treatment in this patient population.

To further assess this association in a larger sample, we examined data from the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) Epidemiological Follow-up Study. METHODS: We analyzed baseline data during 1971-1975 and follow-up through 1992. Dietary potassium intake, determined by 24-hour dietary recall at baseline, was available for 9866 subjects. Stroke mortality was recorded through 1992 follow-up. RESULTS: Mean age and dietary potassium at baseline were 55 years and 2084 mg/d; blacks reported significantly lower potassium intake than whites (1606 versus 2178 mg/24 h). During an average of 16.7 years of follow-up, there were 304 stroke deaths. For men, stratified by tertile of dietary potassium intake, age-adjusted stroke mortality rates per 1000 person-years for the lowest dietary potassium group were significantly higher than for the highest intake group, for both whites (1.94 versus 1.17; relative risk, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.32 to 2.14) and blacks (5.08 versus 1.19; relative risk, 4.27; 95% CI, 1.88 to 9. 19). For women, there was no significant difference in stroke mortality between similar levels of potassium intake for either whites (1.61 versus 1.42; relative risk, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.84 to 1.66) or blacks (2.46 versus 3.04; relative risk, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.21 to 2. 01). After stratification by hypertensive status, stroke mortality rates were significantly different by tertile of dietary potassium only for hypertensive men. There was no stroke mortality difference by potassium intake among hypertensive women or nonhypertensive men and women. Multivariate analysis, in which we controlled for caloric intake and other baseline cardiovascular risk factors, revealed that only among black men and hypertensive men was lower dietary potassium intake a predictor of stroke mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The previous finding of an association of increasing dietary potassium intake with decreasing stroke mortality has been detected only among black men and hypertensive men in this study." ], "offsets": [ [ 47, 2206 ] ] } ]

Dietary potassium intake and stroke mortality. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: An inverse relationship of dietary potassium to stroke mortality in a small community has been previously reported. To further assess this association in a larger sample, we examined data from the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) Epidemiological Follow-up Study. METHODS: We analyzed baseline data during 1971-1975 and follow-up through 1992. Dietary potassium intake, determined by 24-hour dietary recall at baseline, was available for 9866 subjects. Stroke mortality was recorded through 1992 follow-up. RESULTS: Mean age and dietary potassium at baseline were 55 years and 2084 mg/d; blacks reported significantly lower potassium intake than whites (1606 versus 2178 mg/24 h). During an average of 16.7 years of follow-up, there were 304 stroke deaths. For men, stratified by tertile of dietary potassium intake, age-adjusted stroke mortality rates per 1000 person-years for the lowest dietary potassium group were significantly higher than for the highest intake group, for both whites (1.94 versus 1.17; relative risk, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.32 to 2.14) and blacks (5.08 versus 1.19; relative risk, 4.27; 95% CI, 1.88 to 9. 19). For women, there was no significant difference in stroke mortality between similar levels of potassium intake for either whites (1.61 versus 1.42; relative risk, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.84 to 1.66) or blacks (2.46 versus 3.04; relative risk, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.21 to 2. 01). After stratification by hypertensive status, stroke mortality rates were significantly different by tertile of dietary potassium only for hypertensive men. There was no stroke mortality difference by potassium intake among hypertensive women or nonhypertensive men and women. Multivariate analysis, in which we controlled for caloric intake and other baseline cardiovascular risk factors, revealed that only among black men and hypertensive men was lower dietary potassium intake a predictor of stroke mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The previous finding of an association of increasing dietary potassium intake with decreasing stroke mortality has been detected only among black men and hypertensive men in this study.

Difference in magnitude of psychostimulant-induced extracellular norepinephrine in the ventral tegmental area contributes to discrepant prefrontal dopamine outflow. The dopamine (DA) efflux in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) can be modulated by the interaction between afferent norepinephrine (NE) and somatodendritic DA in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). However, it is unclear how locally administered amphetamine (AMPH) or cocaine in the VTA results in discrepant response of DA efflux in the mPFC. In this study, intra-VTA infusion of AMPH (1000 microM) or cocaine (200 microM) in anesthetized rats was employed to study the concurrent profile of extracellular DA level in the VTA and mPFC.

Data suggested that survival for three months appears to be less likely for blacks, for males, and for those 30 through 34 years old.

Of chart-reviewed patients, 16 of the 29 (55.1%) were previously known to be HIV-positive. The most commonly identified likely reason for short survival time from AIDS diagnosis to death was that the diagnosis had been previously missed (10 of the 29 patients--34%). The study showed that many known to be HIV-positive for some time had apparently received little or no care for their infection from testing until diagnosis with AIDS.

Survival of persons with AIDS in Kentucky. Of all reported Kentucky adult/adolescent cases of AIDS (124) with diagnosis dates from July 1, 1990, through June 30, 1991, 33% died within three months of diagnosis. To discern possible reasons for these very short survival times, information was analyzed from the CDC AIDS Confidential Case Report of the 124 patients and from the hospital charts of the 29 patients who were reported as having died within the month of or the month following diagnosis. Data suggested that survival for three months appears to be less likely for blacks, for males, and for those 30 through 34 years old. In the cohort the first diagnosis of AIDS was made at 40 different hospitals and the patients presented to 77 different physicians. Of chart-reviewed patients, 16 of the 29 (55.1%) were previously known to be HIV-positive. The most commonly identified likely reason for short survival time from AIDS diagnosis to death was that the diagnosis had been previously missed (10 of the 29 patients--34%). The study showed that many known to be HIV-positive for some time had apparently received little or no care for their infection from testing until diagnosis with AIDS. Medical review of patient charts suggested that scatter of caregivers may have resulted in some errors in diagnosis and treatment decisions. Also, considerable numbers of persons with HIV infection are either not utilizing the existing HIV counseling, testing, and follow-up systems or are not receiving medical care for their infection once it is identified.

Glycinergic transmission might be either mediated by synaptic or extrasynaptic glycine receptors. While phasic neurotransmission is provided by a synaptic pathway, activation of extrasynaptic glycine receptors induces tonic inhibition. The glycine transporter 2 (GlyT2) regulates the uptake of glycine into presynaptic boutons. It is not determined yet, whether inhibition of GlyT2 by ALX 1393 can produce inhibition of spinal motoric networks and, whether phasic or tonic glycinergic inhibition is mostly enhanced. METHODS: We investigated the effect of ALX 1393 on spontaneous action potential firing activity by extracellular recordings in the ventral horn area of organotypic spinal cultures. Additionally, using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique, we defined the influence of GlyT2 inhibition on tonic and phasic glycinergic transmission in commissural interneurons of the ventral horn. RESULTS: GlyT2 inhibition by ALX 1393 potently reduced neuronal action potential activity in a concentration-dependent manner (n=211). The half maximal effect of ALX 1393 was observed at 100 +- 31 nM. Moreover, 88.3 +- 2.6% of the action potential activity was suppressed at 1 muM. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings unveiled that ALX 1393 (200 nM) induced a tonic current (-45.7 +- 11.6 pA, n=5) that was significantly reversed by application of the competitive glycine receptor antagonist strychnine. Contrastingly, phasic glycinergic transmission was not augmented by GlyT2 inhibition (charge transferred per time period for control conditions: 1.1 +- 0.1 pC, n=7, for ALX 1393: 0.9 +- 0.2 pC, n=7, p>0.05). CONCLUSION: GlyT2 inhibition induced glycinergic tonic currents, which might be the underlying mechanism for the observed suppression of spontaneous action potential activity by ALX 1393 in the spinal ventral horn. Silencing neuronal action potential activity by blocking GlyT2 might be a novel principle to inhibit locomotor circuits in the ventral horn area and to induce muscle relaxation." ], "offsets": [ [ 114, 2231 ] ] } ]

To do this, we restricted active Plk1 to discrete subcompartments within the kinetochore-centromere axis using chemical genetics and decoded functional and phosphoproteomic signatures of each. We observe distinct phosphoproteomic and functional roles, suggesting that Plk1 exists and functions in discrete pools along this axis. Deep within the centromere, Plk1 operates to assure proper chromosome alignment and segregation.

Decoding Polo-like kinase 1 signaling along the kinetochore-centromere axis. Protein kinase signaling along the kinetochore-centromere axis is crucial to assure mitotic fidelity, yet the details of its spatial coordination are obscure. Here, we examined how pools of human Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) within this axis control signaling events to elicit mitotic functions. To do this, we restricted active Plk1 to discrete subcompartments within the kinetochore-centromere axis using chemical genetics and decoded functional and phosphoproteomic signatures of each. We observe distinct phosphoproteomic and functional roles, suggesting that Plk1 exists and functions in discrete pools along this axis. Deep within the centromere, Plk1 operates to assure proper chromosome alignment and segregation. Thus, Plk1 at the kinetochore is a conglomerate of an observable bulk pool coupled with additional functional pools below the threshold of microscopic detection or resolution. Although complex, this multiplicity of locales provides an opportunity to decouple functional and phosphoproteomic signatures for a comprehensive understanding of Plk1's kinetochore functions.

Multi-species biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus oxacillin resistant (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from a patient with chronic wound infection were carried out using a standard Drip Flow Reactor (DFR) under conditions that mimic the flow of nutrients in the human skin.

The biocompatibility evaluation on primary fibroblasts showed better results when the chitosan gels with AgNPs were tested even in the high concentration, in contrast with SSD, which killed all the primary fibroblasts.

The aim of this study was to identify and analyse active and sedentary behaviours and factors associated with physical activity in two different geographical areas in south-eastern Brazil.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighteen consecutive patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer (median age, 69 years) were treated during 2005-2011 with interstitial PDR brachytherapy (PDR-BT) as salvage brachytherapy after radiotherapy failure. The treatment schedule was PDR-BT two times with 30 Gy (pulse dose 0.6 Gy/h, 24 h per day) corresponding to a total dose of 60 Gy. Dose volume adaptation was performed with the aim of optimal coverage of the whole prostate (V100 > 95 %) simultaneously respecting the protocol-based dose volume constraints for the urethra (D0.1 cc < 130 %) and the rectum (D2 cc < 50-60 %) taking into account the previous radiation therapy. Local relapse after radiotherapy (external beam irradiation, brachytherapy with J-125 seeds or combination) was confirmed mostly via choline-PET and increased PSA levels. The primary endpoint was treatment-related late toxicities--particularly proctitis, anal incontinence, cystitis, urinary incontinence, urinary frequency/urgency, and urinary retention according to the Common Toxicity Criteria. The secondary endpoint was PSA-recurrence-free survival. RESULTS: We registered urinary toxicities only. Grade 2 and grade 3 toxicities were observed in up to 11.1 % (2/18) and 16.7 % (3/18) of patients, respectively. The most frequent late-event grade 3 toxicity was urinary retention in 17 % (3/18) of patients. No late gastrointestinal side effects occurred. The biochemical PSA-recurrence-free survival probability at 3 years was 57.1 %. The overall survival at 3 years was 88.9 %; 22 % (4/18) of patients developed metastases. The median follow-up time for all patients after salvage BT was 21 months (range, 8-77 months).

Protocol-based image-guided salvage brachytherapy. Early results in patients with local failure of prostate cancer after radiation therapy. PURPOSE: To assess the overall clinical outcome of protocol-based image-guided salvage pulsed-dose-rate brachytherapy for locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy failure particularly regarding feasibility and side effects. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighteen consecutive patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer (median age, 69 years) were treated during 2005-2011 with interstitial PDR brachytherapy (PDR-BT) as salvage brachytherapy after radiotherapy failure. The treatment schedule was PDR-BT two times with 30 Gy (pulse dose 0.6 Gy/h, 24 h per day) corresponding to a total dose of 60 Gy. Dose volume adaptation was performed with the aim of optimal coverage of the whole prostate (V100 > 95 %) simultaneously respecting the protocol-based dose volume constraints for the urethra (D0.1 cc < 130 %) and the rectum (D2 cc < 50-60 %) taking into account the previous radiation therapy. Local relapse after radiotherapy (external beam irradiation, brachytherapy with J-125 seeds or combination) was confirmed mostly via choline-PET and increased PSA levels. The primary endpoint was treatment-related late toxicities--particularly proctitis, anal incontinence, cystitis, urinary incontinence, urinary frequency/urgency, and urinary retention according to the Common Toxicity Criteria. The secondary endpoint was PSA-recurrence-free survival. RESULTS: We registered urinary toxicities only. Grade 2 and grade 3 toxicities were observed in up to 11.1 % (2/18) and 16.7 % (3/18) of patients, respectively. The most frequent late-event grade 3 toxicity was urinary retention in 17 % (3/18) of patients. No late gastrointestinal side effects occurred. The biochemical PSA-recurrence-free survival probability at 3 years was 57.1 %. The overall survival at 3 years was 88.9 %; 22 % (4/18) of patients developed metastases. The median follow-up time for all patients after salvage BT was 21 months (range, 8-77 months). CONCLUSION: Salvage PDR-brachytherapy of the prostate following local failure after radiation therapy is a treatment option with a low rate of genitourinary side effects and no late gastrointestinal side effects. The treatment efficacy in the first 3 years is promising.

Measuring screening skills in gynecologic cytology. Results of voluntary self-assessment. When the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) was passed in 1967, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) became interested in evaluating screening performance in cytodiagnosis. Finding no validated performance measurement methods that could be used on a national scale, the CDC initiated a program of sequential investigations to develop information that would describe the state of the art in microscopic performance in gynecologic cytopathology. The first of these experiments developed a method, the Self-Assessment Workshop, to measure performance at the microscope by using sets of glass slides. This paper describes the method, its validation process and participant performance over a 15-year period. Study results indicated that cytotechnologists and pathologists tended to correctly identify specimens (slides) in the negative and benign reaction categories in up to 95% of responses, but on slides of dysplasia they made 12% of their calls too low. Carcinomas in situ and invasive squamous cancers were undercalled in only about 5% of responses, but endometrial adenocarcinomas and other rare malignancies were undercalled in as much as 20%. The self-assessment technique is a practical, useful tool for identifying cytology personnel with serious deficiencies in cell location/identification skills and is well accepted by cytotechnologists and pathologists. However its limitations should be kept in mind: screening results from this simulated test should not be extrapolated to routine work performance; the screening time limit of five minutes per slide may adversely affect performance; and, finally, these results may reflect state-of-the-art performance only in voluntary, not mandatory, settings.

However, in case of severe regurgitation the results obtained using these two methods are discrepant. We propose quantitative echocardiographic evaluation and the related morphological parameters of remodeling of the ventricular and mitral apparatuses for the estimate of severe regurgitation. METHODS: Fifty-two patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and functional MR (28 males, 24 females, ejection fraction < or = 40%) were evaluated by means of echocardiography for a total of 73 echocardiograms (basal and 21 at the sixth month). The echo measurements included the left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, ejection fraction, area jet/left atrial area, diastolic and systolic mitral annulus areas and fractional contraction (MAC, %), systolic tenting area (TA, cm2, area enclosed between the annular plane and mitral leaflets), systolic tethering length (TL, cm, papillary tips and intervalvular fibrosa distance); quantitative Doppler (using the mitral and aortic stroke volumes) and PISA methods were averaged to calculate the regurgitant volume (RV, ml/beat), regurgitant fraction (RF, %), and effective regurgitant orifice (ERO, mm2). RESULTS: The strongest correlation with ERO, RV and RF was obtained with systolic TA (beta = 0.40, 0.67 and 0.60; SE 1.68, 1.56 and 1.38; p = 0.01, p = 0.0001 and p = 0.0001, respectively) and MAC (beta = -0.33, -0.61 and -0.61; SE 0.31, 0.31 and 1.49; p = 0.03, p = 0.0001 and p = 0.0001, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: We did not find any significant correlation between the quantitative functional MR echo parameters and systolic dysfunction.

Concerning women, in almost all cases, this is preceded by symptomatic uterine leiomyoma. We aimed to identify women operated on for symptomatic leiomyoma by the age of 30. Archived paraffin-embedded leiomyoma tissue was tested for the FH gene mutation in 14 cases. Two patients with multiple leiomyomas and with the confirmed germ-line mutations c.1433_1434dupAAA, p.(Lys477dup) and c.953A>T, p.(His318Leu) were identified and enrolled in a surveillance program. Statistically significant correlation between the presence of multiple uterine leiomyomas (more than seven in our experience) and the FH gene mutation was found. The immunohistochemical expression pattern, of simultaneous FH absence and S-(2-succino)cysteine (2SC) positivity, correlated with the results of the molecular genetic study in only one case. The histomorphologically simultaneous detection of enlarged nucleoli with a clear halo of leiomyocyte nuclei, their fibrillary cytoplasm, the presence of eosinophilic globules, and staghorn vessels proved to be only a partially sensitive indicator of HLRCC-associated leiomyoma and fully correlated with immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic study only in one case. Molecular genetic testing is presently the only reliable diagnostic tool able to identify HLRCC patients. The sensitivity and specificity of the presence of multiple leiomyomas in women with the FH gene mutation who are younger than 30 years old should be confirmed in larger scale studies.

Genetic testing of leiomyoma tissue in women younger than 30 years old might provide an effective screening approach for the hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer syndrome (HLRCC). We have studied the viability of targeted molecular screening for the identification of female patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) syndrome. Affected patients harbor a germ-line heterozygous mutation of the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene. Clinically, some patients present with aggressive renal cell carcinoma. Concerning women, in almost all cases, this is preceded by symptomatic uterine leiomyoma. We aimed to identify women operated on for symptomatic leiomyoma by the age of 30. Archived paraffin-embedded leiomyoma tissue was tested for the FH gene mutation in 14 cases. Two patients with multiple leiomyomas and with the confirmed germ-line mutations c.1433_1434dupAAA, p.(Lys477dup) and c.953A>T, p.(His318Leu) were identified and enrolled in a surveillance program. Statistically significant correlation between the presence of multiple uterine leiomyomas (more than seven in our experience) and the FH gene mutation was found. The immunohistochemical expression pattern, of simultaneous FH absence and S-(2-succino)cysteine (2SC) positivity, correlated with the results of the molecular genetic study in only one case. The histomorphologically simultaneous detection of enlarged nucleoli with a clear halo of leiomyocyte nuclei, their fibrillary cytoplasm, the presence of eosinophilic globules, and staghorn vessels proved to be only a partially sensitive indicator of HLRCC-associated leiomyoma and fully correlated with immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic study only in one case. Molecular genetic testing is presently the only reliable diagnostic tool able to identify HLRCC patients. The sensitivity and specificity of the presence of multiple leiomyomas in women with the FH gene mutation who are younger than 30 years old should be confirmed in larger scale studies. The applied targeted molecular screening protocol proved to be effective, resulting in identification of two positive patients out of fourteen tested individuals.

The aim of current study is to examine the concurrent and subsequent effects of depressive symptoms on the initial level and evolution of four neuropsychological functioning domains (i.e., spatial working memory, delayed recall memory, perceptual reasoning, and inhibitory control). METHOD: Depressive symptoms and neuropsychological functioning were assessed over the course of four years in a sample of 3826 Canadian adolescents. A series of multilevel models estimated the between-person, within-person, and lagged within-person effects of depressive symptoms on each domain of neuropsychological functioning. RESULTS: Findings suggest that current year and past year depressive symptoms were associated with poorer performance in delayed recall memory and perceptual reasoning tasks. Likewise, past year depressive symptoms were associated with poorer spatial working memory performance. These detrimental effects were stronger in early adolescence. LIMITATIONS: The current study examined the presence of sub-clinical depressive symptoms but not clinical depression. Moreover, although depressive symptoms and neuropsychological functions were assessed using widely used, valid, and reliable computer-based instruments, the results may not match the accuracy of clinician-based assessments.

Effect of depressive symptoms on the evolution of neuropsychological functions over the course of adolescence. INTRODUCTION: Comprehensive understanding of the association between depression and neuropsychological functioning over the course of adolescence requires developmentally sensitive assessment through longitudinal data. The aim of current study is to examine the concurrent and subsequent effects of depressive symptoms on the initial level and evolution of four neuropsychological functioning domains (i.e., spatial working memory, delayed recall memory, perceptual reasoning, and inhibitory control). METHOD: Depressive symptoms and neuropsychological functioning were assessed over the course of four years in a sample of 3826 Canadian adolescents. A series of multilevel models estimated the between-person, within-person, and lagged within-person effects of depressive symptoms on each domain of neuropsychological functioning. RESULTS: Findings suggest that current year and past year depressive symptoms were associated with poorer performance in delayed recall memory and perceptual reasoning tasks. Likewise, past year depressive symptoms were associated with poorer spatial working memory performance. These detrimental effects were stronger in early adolescence. LIMITATIONS: The current study examined the presence of sub-clinical depressive symptoms but not clinical depression. Moreover, although depressive symptoms and neuropsychological functions were assessed using widely used, valid, and reliable computer-based instruments, the results may not match the accuracy of clinician-based assessments. CONCLUSIONS: Our results underline the necessity of early intervention for young adolescents to decrease the harms associated with depression. The effect of early-onset depression on the underlying neural substrates of neuropsychological functioning merits further investigation.

Identification of labeled amino acid residues by matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry." ], "offsets": [ [ 0, 203 ] ] }, { "id": "8898898_abstract", "type": "abstract", "text": [ "Recent affinity labeling studies have revealed that dimeric histidyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli displayed half-of-the-sites reactivity toward labeling with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate [Kalogerakos, T., Hountondji, C., Berne, P. F., Dutka, S. & Blanquet, S. (1994) Biochimie (Paris) 76, 33-44]. In the present report, affinity labeling studies were conducted by using other ATP analogues such as pyridoxal 5'-diphospho-5'-adenosine (pyridoxal-ppAdo), pyridoxal 5'-triphospho-5'-adenosine (pyridoxal-pppAdo), pyridoxal 5'-diphosphate (pyridoxal-P2) and 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine (FSO2BzAdo). The histidine-dependent isotopic [32P]PP/ATP exchange activity of His-tRNA synthetase was rapidly and completely lost upon incubation with either pyridoxal-ppAdo, pyridoxal-pppAdo or pyridoxal-P2, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Complete inactivation of His-tRNA synthetase corresponded to the incorporation of 2.8 mol of either pyridoxal-ppAdo or pyridoxal-P2/mol dimeric synthetase. Incubation of His-tRNA synthetase with FSO2BzAdo also resulted in a complete inactivation of the synthetase. However, contrasting with the pyridoxal derivatives, the plot of the residual enzymatic activity against the amount of covalently bound FSO2BzAdo appeared biphasic. In the early stages of inactivation, the relationship between the amount of residual activity and FSO2BzAdo incorporation was linear and extrapolated to a stoichiometry of 1.1 mol reagent/mol His-tRNA synthetase, suggesting that the labeling of one subunit was sufficient to inactivate one dimeric His-tRNA synthetase molecule. At longer incubation periods, additional reagent incorporation occurred and culminated at 2.5 mol label/mol His-tRNA synthetase. Excess of MgATP protected the enzyme against inactivation by either studied reagent. The labeled amino acid residues were identified by matrix-assisted-laser-desorption-ionization mass spectrometry, by measuring the peptide mass increase caused by the reagents. An identical set of four lysyl residues (Lys2, Lys118, Lys369 and Lys370 of His-tRNA synthetase) was found attached to pyridoxal-ppAdo or pyridoxal-P2. In addition, pyridoxal-ppAdo labeled the alpha-amino group of the N-terminal alanine. In a His-tRNA synthetase sample having incorporated 2.5 mol FSO2BzAdo/mol), the labeled amino acid residues were Lys118, Lys196, Tyr262 (or Tyr263), Lys369 and Lys377. Whatever the used reagent, Lys118 appeared to be the predominantly labeled residue, Lys118 belongs to fragment 112-124 (RHERPQK-GRYRQF) corresponding to motif 2 of class 2 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. The other modified lysyl residues (lysines 369, 370 and 377) are close to the catalytic motif 3, in the C-terminal region of the synthetase. Tyr262 and Tyr263 belong to a fragment 256-263 (LVRGLDYY) highly conserved among all known His-tRNA synthetase primary structures. Examination of the recently solved structure of crystalline E. coli His-tRNA synthetase [Amez, J. G., Harris, D. C., Mitschler, A., Rees, B., Francklyn, C. S. & Moras, D. (1995) EMBO J. 14, 4143-4155] shows that, with the exception of lysines 369, 370 and 377, the location of which may account for peculiar accessibility and reactivity, all the amino acid residues identified in this study map near the enzyme nucleotide-binding site, at the N-terminal catalytic domain of the synthetase." ], "offsets": [ [ 204, 3570 ] ] } ]

Affinity labeling of Escherichia coli histidyl-tRNA synthetase with reactive ATP analogues. Identification of labeled amino acid residues by matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry. Recent affinity labeling studies have revealed that dimeric histidyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli displayed half-of-the-sites reactivity toward labeling with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate [Kalogerakos, T., Hountondji, C., Berne, P. F., Dutka, S. & Blanquet, S. (1994) Biochimie (Paris) 76, 33-44]. In the present report, affinity labeling studies were conducted by using other ATP analogues such as pyridoxal 5'-diphospho-5'-adenosine (pyridoxal-ppAdo), pyridoxal 5'-triphospho-5'-adenosine (pyridoxal-pppAdo), pyridoxal 5'-diphosphate (pyridoxal-P2) and 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine (FSO2BzAdo). The histidine-dependent isotopic [32P]PP/ATP exchange activity of His-tRNA synthetase was rapidly and completely lost upon incubation with either pyridoxal-ppAdo, pyridoxal-pppAdo or pyridoxal-P2, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Complete inactivation of His-tRNA synthetase corresponded to the incorporation of 2.8 mol of either pyridoxal-ppAdo or pyridoxal-P2/mol dimeric synthetase. Incubation of His-tRNA synthetase with FSO2BzAdo also resulted in a complete inactivation of the synthetase. However, contrasting with the pyridoxal derivatives, the plot of the residual enzymatic activity against the amount of covalently bound FSO2BzAdo appeared biphasic. In the early stages of inactivation, the relationship between the amount of residual activity and FSO2BzAdo incorporation was linear and extrapolated to a stoichiometry of 1.1 mol reagent/mol His-tRNA synthetase, suggesting that the labeling of one subunit was sufficient to inactivate one dimeric His-tRNA synthetase molecule. At longer incubation periods, additional reagent incorporation occurred and culminated at 2.5 mol label/mol His-tRNA synthetase. Excess of MgATP protected the enzyme against inactivation by either studied reagent. The labeled amino acid residues were identified by matrix-assisted-laser-desorption-ionization mass spectrometry, by measuring the peptide mass increase caused by the reagents. An identical set of four lysyl residues (Lys2, Lys118, Lys369 and Lys370 of His-tRNA synthetase) was found attached to pyridoxal-ppAdo or pyridoxal-P2. In addition, pyridoxal-ppAdo labeled the alpha-amino group of the N-terminal alanine. In a His-tRNA synthetase sample having incorporated 2.5 mol FSO2BzAdo/mol), the labeled amino acid residues were Lys118, Lys196, Tyr262 (or Tyr263), Lys369 and Lys377. Whatever the used reagent, Lys118 appeared to be the predominantly labeled residue, Lys118 belongs to fragment 112-124 (RHERPQK-GRYRQF) corresponding to motif 2 of class 2 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. The other modified lysyl residues (lysines 369, 370 and 377) are close to the catalytic motif 3, in the C-terminal region of the synthetase. Tyr262 and Tyr263 belong to a fragment 256-263 (LVRGLDYY) highly conserved among all known His-tRNA synthetase primary structures. Examination of the recently solved structure of crystalline E. coli His-tRNA synthetase [Amez, J. G., Harris, D. C., Mitschler, A., Rees, B., Francklyn, C. S. & Moras, D. (1995) EMBO J. 14, 4143-4155] shows that, with the exception of lysines 369, 370 and 377, the location of which may account for peculiar accessibility and reactivity, all the amino acid residues identified in this study map near the enzyme nucleotide-binding site, at the N-terminal catalytic domain of the synthetase.

Groundwater nitrate and fluoride profiles, sources and health risk assessment in the coal mining areas of Salt Range, Punjab Pakistan. To assess the loading profiles of groundwater nitrate (NO3-) and fluoride (F-), their spatial distributions, geochemistry and associated health risks were determined for 131 groundwater samples from eastern (ESR), central (CSR) and Trans-Indus Salt Ranges (TSR) in Pakistan. Groundwater NO3- concentrations were 0.2-308 mg/L (mean 59 mg/L) in ESR, 2.7-203 mg/L (mean 73 mg/L) in CSR and 1.1-259 mg/L (mean 69 mg/L) in the TSR. Forty-one %, 57% and 36% of the ESR, CSR and TSR samples, respectively, exceeded the WHO and Pak-NEQs permissible limit of 50 mg/L NO3-. Likewise, groundwater F- concentrations ranged from 0.1-1.8 mg/L (mean 0.6 mg/L), 0.1-2.7 mg/L (mean 0.9 mg/L) and 0.3-2.5 mg/L (mean 1.6 mg/L) mg/L in the ESR, CSR and TSR sites, respectively. In this case, 3%, 17% and 27% of the ESR, CSR and TSR samples, respectively, exceeded the WHO and Pak-NEQs permissible limit of 1.5 mg/L F. Oxidation of coal and coal waste resulted in the release of NO3- to groundwater. By contrast, enrichment of F- in groundwater was due to dissolution and cation exchange processes. Elevated values of the Higher Pollution Index (PI) and Health Risk Index (HRI) reflect a non-acceptable carcinogenic risk for drinking water NO3- and F- which should be addressed on a priority basis to protect human health.

Recent progress in synthesis, properties, and applications of hexagonal boron nitride-based heterostructures. Featuring an absence of dangling bonds, large band gap, low dielectric constant, and excellent chemical inertness, atomically thin hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is considered an ideal candidate for integration with graphene and other 2D materials. During the past years, great efforts have been devoted to the research of h-BN-based heterostructures, from fundamental study to practical applications.

Methods: The model of type 2 diabetic rats was established by fed high-fat diet for four weeks together with intraperitoneal injecting a low dose of STZ. The model rats were randomly divided into diabetic model group(B),diabetic exercise group(C),diabetic+SP group(D)and diabetic exercise+SP group(E), another normal control group(A)without any intervention was set up,12 rats in each group. The rats in Group C and E were treated with intervention of swimming training for six weeks. The rats in Group D and E were treated with SP intragastrically for 6 weeks. Learning and memory abilities were observed by Morris water maze test. The hippocampus cell apoptosis was observed by Tunnel staining, and BDNF content and the expressions of p75NTR, cleaved caspase-3 of hippocampus were tested by ELISA, Western blot and immunohistochemistry, respectively. At the same time, the changes of blood glucose and levels of serum insulin were examined. Results: (1)Compared with Group A at different time points, the body weight of Group B was decreased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with Group B at different time points, the body weight of Group C,D and E had no difference (P>0.05). Compared with Group A, levels of the blood glucose and serum insulin Group B were increased significantly(P<0.01).Compared with Group B, the levels in the intervention groups were decreased significantly (P<0.01); (2)Compared with Group A, the escape latencies of Group B were prolonged significantly(P<0.01), platform quadrant residence duration and the times of crossing platform were decreased (P<0.01). Compared with Group B, the escape latencies of the intervention groups were shortened (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the times of crossing platform were increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). (3)Compared with Group B, the neural cells apoptosis of the intervention rats was decreased, and the protein expressions of p75NTR and cleaved caspase-3 were decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), however the expression of BDNF was increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Aerobic exercise and SP supplement can improve the learning-memory ability of type 2 diabetes rats, and the improvement effect of exercise combined with SP is markedly better than that of exercise and SP alone, the mechanism might be related to better regulating p75NTR signal related protein expressions and then inhibiting apoptosis in hippocampus of rats with type 2 diabetes." ], "offsets": [ [ 143, 2800 ] ] } ]

[The effects of aerobic exercise plus spirulina polysaccharide supplement on learning and memory function of diabetes rats and its mechanism]. Objective: To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise plus spirulina polysaccharide(SP) supplement on the related protein expressions of p75NTR signal in hippocampal and the improvement of learning and memory of type 2 diabetes rats. Methods: The model of type 2 diabetic rats was established by fed high-fat diet for four weeks together with intraperitoneal injecting a low dose of STZ. The model rats were randomly divided into diabetic model group(B),diabetic exercise group(C),diabetic+SP group(D)and diabetic exercise+SP group(E), another normal control group(A)without any intervention was set up,12 rats in each group. The rats in Group C and E were treated with intervention of swimming training for six weeks. The rats in Group D and E were treated with SP intragastrically for 6 weeks. Learning and memory abilities were observed by Morris water maze test. The hippocampus cell apoptosis was observed by Tunnel staining, and BDNF content and the expressions of p75NTR, cleaved caspase-3 of hippocampus were tested by ELISA, Western blot and immunohistochemistry, respectively. At the same time, the changes of blood glucose and levels of serum insulin were examined. Results: (1)Compared with Group A at different time points, the body weight of Group B was decreased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with Group B at different time points, the body weight of Group C,D and E had no difference (P>0.05). Compared with Group A, levels of the blood glucose and serum insulin Group B were increased significantly(P<0.01).Compared with Group B, the levels in the intervention groups were decreased significantly (P<0.01); (2)Compared with Group A, the escape latencies of Group B were prolonged significantly(P<0.01), platform quadrant residence duration and the times of crossing platform were decreased (P<0.01). Compared with Group B, the escape latencies of the intervention groups were shortened (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the times of crossing platform were increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). (3)Compared with Group B, the neural cells apoptosis of the intervention rats was decreased, and the protein expressions of p75NTR and cleaved caspase-3 were decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), however the expression of BDNF was increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Aerobic exercise and SP supplement can improve the learning-memory ability of type 2 diabetes rats, and the improvement effect of exercise combined with SP is markedly better than that of exercise and SP alone, the mechanism might be related to better regulating p75NTR signal related protein expressions and then inhibiting apoptosis in hippocampus of rats with type 2 diabetes.

Skeletal development is regulated by fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 signalling dynamics. Ligand-dependent signalling pathways have been characterised as having morphogen properties where there is a quantitative relationship between receptor activation and response, or threshold characteristics in which there is a binary switch in response at a fixed level of receptor activation. Here we report the use of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based transgenic system in which a hypermorphic mutation has been introduced into the murine Fgfr1 gene. These mice exhibit cranial suture and sternal fusions that are exacerbated when the BAC copy number is increased. Surprisingly, increasing mutant BAC copy number also leads to the de novo appearance of digit I polydactyly in the hind limb and transformations of the vertebrae. Polydactyly is accompanied by a reduction of programmed cell death in the developing hind limb. Candidate gene analysis reveals downregulation of Dkk1 in the digit I field and upregulation of Wnt5a and Hoxd13. These findings show that Fgfr1-mediated developmental pathways exhibit differing signalling dynamics, whereby development of the cranial sutures and sternum follows a morphogen mode, whereas development of the vertebral column and the hind limbs has threshold signalling properties.

The serum C-reactive protein concentration was 1.78 mg/dL, and the white-cell count was 5,700/microL. The left-lower-quadrant pain resolved, and colonoscopic examination revealed multiple diverticula of the sigmoid colon. Infection has not recurred, and the hepatic cyst has not become larger.

We report an audit of the profile of OAC usage and adverse events in patients attending a specialist AF clinic. METHODS: Patients attending our specialist AF clinic who were commenced on NOACs for SPAF between January 2013 and August 2014 were included and electronic medical records were retrospectively reviewed between August 2014 and November 2014, to collect demographic, clinical and outcome data. Outcomes included cerebrovascular and bleeding events, death, switching between NOACs or to VKA, dose changes, cessation of NOACs and the reasons for these. To provide perspective, descriptive comparisons were made with a historical cohort of warfarin users attending the specialist AF clinic prior to the introduction of NOACs. RESULTS: We report data on 813 patients as follows: (i) 233 consecutive patients (mean (standard deviation) age 74 (10) years, 45.1% female) initiated on NOACs, with median (interquartile range) CHA2 DS2 -VASc score 3 (2-5) and HAS-BLED score 1 (1-2); and (ii) a historical cohort of 580 patients on warfarin (mean (SD) age 75 (10) years, 42.1% female) with broadly similar demographics. Overall, 54.5% (127/233) were started on rivaroxaban, 22.7% (53/233) on dabigatran and 22.7% on apixaban. Two patients experienced a transient ischaemic attack; 31 patients (13%) contributed to 37 documented bleeding events of which five bleeds (in four patients, 1.7%) were classified as major. There were seven deaths; cause of death was not available for three and the others were not related to NOACs. Eighteen (7.7%) patients switched NOACs, 2 (0.9%) patients switched to warfarin and 8 (3.4%) had their NOACs stopped. There were no ischaemic strokes in the NOAC cohort, compared with nine in the warfarin cohort, with a similar rate of major bleeding (1.7% for NOACs and 1.6% for warfarin). There were more gastrointestinal haemorrhages in the NOAC cohort (3.4% vs. 0.7% with warfarin). CONCLUSION: In this specialist AF clinic, patients prescribed NOACs had a favourable adverse event profile with good efficacy for stroke prevention, with a low rate of cessation or switch to warfarin." ], "offsets": [ [ 140, 2479 ] ] } ]

Use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation patients: insights from a specialist atrial fibrillation clinic. BACKGROUND: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are broadly preferable to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) given their overall net clinical benefit. We report an audit of the profile of OAC usage and adverse events in patients attending a specialist AF clinic. METHODS: Patients attending our specialist AF clinic who were commenced on NOACs for SPAF between January 2013 and August 2014 were included and electronic medical records were retrospectively reviewed between August 2014 and November 2014, to collect demographic, clinical and outcome data. Outcomes included cerebrovascular and bleeding events, death, switching between NOACs or to VKA, dose changes, cessation of NOACs and the reasons for these. To provide perspective, descriptive comparisons were made with a historical cohort of warfarin users attending the specialist AF clinic prior to the introduction of NOACs. RESULTS: We report data on 813 patients as follows: (i) 233 consecutive patients (mean (standard deviation) age 74 (10) years, 45.1% female) initiated on NOACs, with median (interquartile range) CHA2 DS2 -VASc score 3 (2-5) and HAS-BLED score 1 (1-2); and (ii) a historical cohort of 580 patients on warfarin (mean (SD) age 75 (10) years, 42.1% female) with broadly similar demographics. Overall, 54.5% (127/233) were started on rivaroxaban, 22.7% (53/233) on dabigatran and 22.7% on apixaban. Two patients experienced a transient ischaemic attack; 31 patients (13%) contributed to 37 documented bleeding events of which five bleeds (in four patients, 1.7%) were classified as major. There were seven deaths; cause of death was not available for three and the others were not related to NOACs. Eighteen (7.7%) patients switched NOACs, 2 (0.9%) patients switched to warfarin and 8 (3.4%) had their NOACs stopped. There were no ischaemic strokes in the NOAC cohort, compared with nine in the warfarin cohort, with a similar rate of major bleeding (1.7% for NOACs and 1.6% for warfarin). There were more gastrointestinal haemorrhages in the NOAC cohort (3.4% vs. 0.7% with warfarin). CONCLUSION: In this specialist AF clinic, patients prescribed NOACs had a favourable adverse event profile with good efficacy for stroke prevention, with a low rate of cessation or switch to warfarin.

The mechanism on phosphorylation of Hsp20Ser16 inhibit GA stress and ER stress during OGD/R. Recent research has demonstrated that small heat shock protein (sHsp) phosphorylation plays a variety of roles in neural cells. While the phosphorylation of serine 16 (Ser16) is blocked, Hsp20 no longer has neuroprotective effects. To further investigate the mechanism underlying this process, oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) was used with human SH-SY5Y cells and mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells. When SH-SY5Y and N2a cells were transfected with pEGFP-Hsp20(WT), pEGFP-Hsp20(S16A), and pEGFP-Hsp20(S16D) plasmids, the Golgi apparatus (GA) became more swollen and scattered, and many small fragments formed in the MOCK and S16A groups after OGD/R (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network was reduced, and the lamellar structure increased. However, these changes were not as obvious in the WT and S16D groups. Additionally, after OGD/R, Golgi Stress related protein contents were increased in the WT and S16D groups compared with the MOCK and S16A groups (P < 0.05). However, ER Stress related protein contents were decreased in the WT and S16D groups compared with the MOCK and S16A groups (P < 0.05). Our study demonstrates that Hsp20 phosphorylation on Ser16 protects against not only OGD/R-induced GA fragmentation in SH-SY5Y cells and N2a cells via Golgi stress but also OGD/R-induced ER structural changes in SH-SY5Y cells via ER stress. These findings suggest that Hsp20 is a potential drug target for ischemia stroke treatment.

We previously reported that PD4 to 9 alcohol exposure eliminated the context preexposure facilitation effect (CPFE) in juvenile rats, a hippocampus-dependent variant of contextual fear conditioning. In the CPFE, context exposure and immediate shock occur on successive occasions and this produces conditioned freezing relative to a control group that is not preexposed to the training context. Here, we extend our earlier findings by examining the effects of neonatal alcohol administered at multiple doses or over different neonatal exposure periods. METHOD: Rat pups (male and female) were exposed to a single binge dose of alcohol at one of 3 doses (2.75, 4.00, or 5.25 g/kg/d) over PD4 to 9 (Experiment 1) or to 5.25 g over PD4 to 6 or PD7 to 9 (Experiment 2). Sham-intubated (SI) and undisturbed (UD) rats served as controls. On PD31, rats were preexposed to either the training context (Pre) or an alternate context (No-Pre). On PD32, rats received an immediate unsignaled footshock (1.5 mA, 2 seconds) in the training context. Finally, on PD33, all rats were returned to the training context and tested for contextual freezing over a 5-minute period. RESULTS: Undisturbed- and SI-Pre rats showed the CPFE, i.e., context preexposure facilitated contextual conditioning, relative to their No-Pre counterparts. The immediate shock deficit was present in all No-Pre groups, regardless of previous alcohol exposure. In Experiment 1, blood alcohol level was negatively correlated with contextual freezing. Group 2.75 g-Pre did not differ from controls. Group 4.00 g-Pre froze significantly less than Groups UD- and SI-Pre but more than Group 5.25-Pre, which showed the immediate shock deficit. In Experiment 2, alcohol exposure limited to PD7 to 9, but not PD4 to 6, disrupted the CPFE. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first demonstration of dose-related impairment on a hippocampus-dependent task produced by neonatal alcohol exposure in the rat.

Effects of dose and period of neonatal alcohol exposure on the context preexposure facilitation effect. BACKGROUND: Alcohol exposure in the rat on postnatal days (PD) 4 to 9 is known to partially damage the hippocampus and to impair hippocampus-dependent behavioral tasks. We previously reported that PD4 to 9 alcohol exposure eliminated the context preexposure facilitation effect (CPFE) in juvenile rats, a hippocampus-dependent variant of contextual fear conditioning. In the CPFE, context exposure and immediate shock occur on successive occasions and this produces conditioned freezing relative to a control group that is not preexposed to the training context. Here, we extend our earlier findings by examining the effects of neonatal alcohol administered at multiple doses or over different neonatal exposure periods. METHOD: Rat pups (male and female) were exposed to a single binge dose of alcohol at one of 3 doses (2.75, 4.00, or 5.25 g/kg/d) over PD4 to 9 (Experiment 1) or to 5.25 g over PD4 to 6 or PD7 to 9 (Experiment 2). Sham-intubated (SI) and undisturbed (UD) rats served as controls. On PD31, rats were preexposed to either the training context (Pre) or an alternate context (No-Pre). On PD32, rats received an immediate unsignaled footshock (1.5 mA, 2 seconds) in the training context. Finally, on PD33, all rats were returned to the training context and tested for contextual freezing over a 5-minute period. RESULTS: Undisturbed- and SI-Pre rats showed the CPFE, i.e., context preexposure facilitated contextual conditioning, relative to their No-Pre counterparts. The immediate shock deficit was present in all No-Pre groups, regardless of previous alcohol exposure. In Experiment 1, blood alcohol level was negatively correlated with contextual freezing. Group 2.75 g-Pre did not differ from controls. Group 4.00 g-Pre froze significantly less than Groups UD- and SI-Pre but more than Group 5.25-Pre, which showed the immediate shock deficit. In Experiment 2, alcohol exposure limited to PD7 to 9, but not PD4 to 6, disrupted the CPFE. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first demonstration of dose-related impairment on a hippocampus-dependent task produced by neonatal alcohol exposure in the rat. Exposure period effects support previous studies of alcohol and spatial learning. The CPFE is a more sensitive behavioral task that can be used to elucidate developmental alcohol-induced deficits over a range of alcohol doses that are more relevant to human exposure levels.

The Impact of Childhood Obesity on Joint Alignment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that overweight/obesity (OW/OB) impairs the normal alignment of children and adolescents' musculoskeletal system. However, to date, no study has systematically reviewed or quantified the effect of OW/OB on the development of joint malalignments in children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the association between OW/OB and joint alignment in children and adolescents and to quantify the evidence on whether children and adolescents with OW/OB have a higher risk of developing joint malalignments than their peers of normal weight. METHODS: PubMed and Web of Science databases were systematically searched from inception to March 9, 2020. Studies investigating the association between OW/OB and joint alignment in children and adolescents were selected. Nonoriginal articles, participants with movement pattern diseases, and adolescents studied while pregnant were excluded. Two independent reviewers conducted the study selection and data extraction.

METHODS: In total 2,343 permanent anterior teeth were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography images and described according to the Vertucci and Ahmed et al. classifications. Demographic information, root number and internal canal morphology were recorded. Age and sex associations were made using Fisher's exact test (P < 0.05). RESULTS: All anterior teeth were single-rooted (100%). The most frequent configuration in maxillary anteriors was a single canal (Vertucci Type I/1MXA1). In mandibular anteriors, single canal configurations (Type I/1MDA1) predominated, however 36.6% of mandibular central and 33.9% of lateral incisors displayed two canals. Older subjects (>40 years) demonstrated single canals more than younger subjects (P = 0.0004). Females displayed variations more compared to males (P = 0.002).

Root and canal morphology of the permanent anterior dentition in a Black South African population using cone-beam computed tomography and two classification systems. PURPOSE: This study investigated the root and canal morphology of the permanent anterior dentition in a Black South African population. METHODS: In total 2,343 permanent anterior teeth were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography images and described according to the Vertucci and Ahmed et al. classifications. Demographic information, root number and internal canal morphology were recorded. Age and sex associations were made using Fisher's exact test (P < 0.05). RESULTS: All anterior teeth were single-rooted (100%). The most frequent configuration in maxillary anteriors was a single canal (Vertucci Type I/1MXA1). In mandibular anteriors, single canal configurations (Type I/1MDA1) predominated, however 36.6% of mandibular central and 33.9% of lateral incisors displayed two canals. Older subjects (>40 years) demonstrated single canals more than younger subjects (P = 0.0004). Females displayed variations more compared to males (P = 0.002). The two classifications were found to be comparable for evaluation of permanent anterior teeth. Complex configurations were better described using the newer system. CONCLUSION: The permanent anterior teeth of this population exhibited exclusively single roots and diverse internal characteristics. Clinicians should be aware of anatomical variations, particularly in mandibular incisors, as these may result in adverse endodontic outcomes if not taken into consideration by the treating practitioner.

These control patients were selected from 71 patients admitted due to pneumonia or bronchitis caused by H1N1 pdm 09, and were chosen according to age, absence of pretreatment with oseltamivir before admission, presence of a past history of asthma, use of antibiotics, and combination of inhalation of a beta2 agonist and treatment with i.v. methylprednisolone for asthma attack. RESULTS: The IgG3 deficiency patient had significantly longer duration of admission and period of oseltamivir, with a significantly decreased pulse oxygen saturation and increased maximum serum C-reactive protein, creatine kinase and urinary excretion of beta2-microglobulin/creatinine, compared with the controls (P < 0.05).

IgG3 deficiency and severity of 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza. BACKGROUND: The severity of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza (H1N1 pdm 09) in immune deficient children is unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate this in a case of complete IgG3 deficiency complicated by pneumonia and asthma attack. METHODS: The clinical parameters of the IgG3 deficiency patient were compared with those of four control patients using 95% confidence intervals. These control patients were selected from 71 patients admitted due to pneumonia or bronchitis caused by H1N1 pdm 09, and were chosen according to age, absence of pretreatment with oseltamivir before admission, presence of a past history of asthma, use of antibiotics, and combination of inhalation of a beta2 agonist and treatment with i.v. methylprednisolone for asthma attack. RESULTS: The IgG3 deficiency patient had significantly longer duration of admission and period of oseltamivir, with a significantly decreased pulse oxygen saturation and increased maximum serum C-reactive protein, creatine kinase and urinary excretion of beta2-microglobulin/creatinine, compared with the controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Complete IgG3 deficiency is possibly associated with severity of the clinical course of pneumonia and asthma attack in children suffering from H1N1 pdm 09.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 156 patients aged 45 years and more, treated at the Departments of Surgery and Urology of Kaunas 2nd Clinical Hospital, were enrolled in the study. Elderly group (aged 65 years and more) consisted of 99 patients, and middle-aged group (45 to 64 years old) of 57 patients. The following anthropometric measurements were performed: weight, height, mid-arm circumference; hemoglobin, serum albumin level, and total lymphocyte count were determined. Standard assessment scales included Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Mini Mental State Exam. Statistical analysis was performed with the help of SPSS 12.0. RESULTS: Malnutrition was diagnosed in 53.5% of older patients and in 15.8% of middle-aged patients (P<0.05). Obesity was diagnosed in 32.3% of elderly patients and in 40.4% of middle-aged patients (P<0.05). Among men, obese patients made up 20%, among women - 54.4% (P<0.05). Malnutrition was more prevalent among elderly patients who underwent urgent operations than in patients who underwent planned operations (69.6% and 34.1%, respectively; P<0.05) and among elderly patients with impaired cognitive functions than among those without impaired cognitive functions (in 100% of patients with medium impaired cognitive function, in 59.3% of patients with mild impaired cognitive function, and in 44.4% of patients with unimpaired cognitive function, P<0.05). Malnourished elderly patients had lower functional level than the remaining (IADL score of 3.97 and 4.75 for men, 5.38 and 6.89 for women, respectively; P<0.05). The prevalence of malnutrition did not differ significantly in the groups of older patients with depression, probable depression and not depressed patients - 75.0%, 57.7%, and 46.7%, respectively (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Malnutrition was diagnosed more frequently in elderly surgical patients than in middle-aged patients. Obesity was more common in women than in men. The prevalence of obesity was not associated with age. Malnutrition in elderly surgical patients was associated with poor functional status, impaired cognitive function, and urgent operation." ], "offsets": [ [ 51, 2377 ] ] } ]

[Nutritional status of elderly surgical patients]. UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to assess nutritional status of aged surgical patients, to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and factors associated with it. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 156 patients aged 45 years and more, treated at the Departments of Surgery and Urology of Kaunas 2nd Clinical Hospital, were enrolled in the study. Elderly group (aged 65 years and more) consisted of 99 patients, and middle-aged group (45 to 64 years old) of 57 patients. The following anthropometric measurements were performed: weight, height, mid-arm circumference; hemoglobin, serum albumin level, and total lymphocyte count were determined. Standard assessment scales included Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Mini Mental State Exam. Statistical analysis was performed with the help of SPSS 12.0. RESULTS: Malnutrition was diagnosed in 53.5% of older patients and in 15.8% of middle-aged patients (P<0.05). Obesity was diagnosed in 32.3% of elderly patients and in 40.4% of middle-aged patients (P<0.05). Among men, obese patients made up 20%, among women - 54.4% (P<0.05). Malnutrition was more prevalent among elderly patients who underwent urgent operations than in patients who underwent planned operations (69.6% and 34.1%, respectively; P<0.05) and among elderly patients with impaired cognitive functions than among those without impaired cognitive functions (in 100% of patients with medium impaired cognitive function, in 59.3% of patients with mild impaired cognitive function, and in 44.4% of patients with unimpaired cognitive function, P<0.05). Malnourished elderly patients had lower functional level than the remaining (IADL score of 3.97 and 4.75 for men, 5.38 and 6.89 for women, respectively; P<0.05). The prevalence of malnutrition did not differ significantly in the groups of older patients with depression, probable depression and not depressed patients - 75.0%, 57.7%, and 46.7%, respectively (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Malnutrition was diagnosed more frequently in elderly surgical patients than in middle-aged patients. Obesity was more common in women than in men. The prevalence of obesity was not associated with age. Malnutrition in elderly surgical patients was associated with poor functional status, impaired cognitive function, and urgent operation.

Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Scientific Statement From the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, the American Heart Association, and the American College of Cardiology. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an evidence-based intervention that uses patient education, health behavior modification, and exercise training to improve secondary prevention outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease.

How innate immune cells integrate these 2 opposing signals in dictating immunity or tolerance to infection is not known. In this study, we show that human plasmacytoid predendritic cells (pDCs) were highly sensitive to GC-induced apoptosis. Strikingly, they were protected by microbial stimulation through TLR-7 and TLR-9, but not by microbial-independent stimuli, such as interleukin-3, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or CD40-ligand. This protection was dependent on TLR-induced autocrine tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-alpha, which collectively increased the expression ratio between antiapoptotic genes (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, BIRC3, CFLAR) versus proapoptotic genes (Caspase-8, BID, BAD, BAX). In particular, virus-induced Bcl-2 up-regulation was dependent on autocrine interferon-alpha. Using small interfering RNA technology, we demonstrated that Bcl-2 and CFLAR/c-flip were essential for TLR-induced protection of pDCs from GC-induced caspase-8-mediated apoptosis.
