[Q]: Context: Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with early death, its life expectancy differs greatly between patients. A better understanding of this heterogeneity may reveal important disease mechanisms underlying the malignancy of AD. The aim of this study was to examine the relation between AD pathologies and early death in AD caused by dementia.", 'At a memory clinic, 247 referred consecutive patients with AD were monitored during 12.6\u2009±\u20091.6 years. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed with baseline measures of amyloid beta (Aβ) pathology (APOE genotype, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42) tau pathology (CSF phosphorylated tau and total tau), cerebrovascular pathology (white-matter lesions and CSF/serum albumin ratio), neuroinflammatory pathology (CSF soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, sVCAM-1), frontal, temporal, and central brain atrophies, global cognition, sex, and age. Comorbidities and medications also were analyzed. All continuous variables were transformed to z scores to compare hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).', 'At follow-up, 89% of the patients had died. The mean survival time was 6.4\u2009±\u20093.0 years. The AD pathology that independently predicted an early death caused by dementia was cerebral inflammation (sVCAM-1; HR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.07-1.64). Other independent predictors were lower global cognition (HR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.43-0.61), frontal atrophy (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.12-1.70), and medial temporal atrophy (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.02-1.49). When examining death caused by dementia and related causes (vascular diseases and infections), age (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.04-1.46) and cerebrovascular pathology (white-matter lesions: HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.01-1.36; and CSF/serum albumin ratio: HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.001-1.34) were also significant risk factors in addition to the previous variables. No comorbidity or medication was significant in the specific-cause models.
Answer: This is the first study to link neuroinflammation independently to early death in AD and, hence, a rapidly progressing disease. Frontal and medial temporal atrophies and low cognition were also significant predictors. These are probably downstream biomarkers that reflect neuronal degeneration and late-stage disease. Our results suggest that inflammation, and not amyloid or tau pathology, is an independent underlying mechanism in the malignancy of AD.

[Q]: Context: Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) as a regulator of innate inflammatory response has been implicated in tumor progression of gliomas. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic significance and the ligand-receptor interaction of FPR1 in gastric cancer (GC).', 'FPR1 was immunohistochemically-analyzed in tissue sections originating from 116 GC patients. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for the assessment of interaction between FPR1 and the FPR1 ligand annexin A1 (AnxA1) in GC cells.', 'High FPR1 expression was significantly associated with stage IV disease, submucosal invasion, serosal invasion, and clinical outcome of GC. Multivariate analysis showed that high FPR1 expression was an independent risk factor of poor overall survival in GC patients. FPR1 expression increased significantly when AnxA1 overexpression was present in GC cells. A positive feedback regulation of FPR1 was involved in the AnxA1-FPR1 signal transduction.
Answer: FPR1 expression may be used as a novel indicator to predict outcome in GC patients after gastrectomy.

[Q]: Context: The objective was to evaluate the prevalence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in patients with heart failure (HF) due to systolic dysfunction.', 'We included 79 patients (age 68 years, LVEF 30%) with HF and sinus-rhythm (SR) referred to a HF outpatient clinic. A 48 hours Holter ECG and a follow-up ECG were performed. RESULTS. One patient had one episode of PAF. Thirty-two (41%) patients had episodes of irregular atrial runs (AR). The numbers of QRS complexes during AR were 7.2+/-2.9 (mean+/-SD). Patients with AR were older than patients with SR, p =0.02 and more often of female sex, p =0.04. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age and female sex were independently correlated with AR with adjusted OR of 1.1 (per year, 95% CI 1.02-1.14, p =0.01) and 4.0 (1.05-15.07, p =0.04), respectively. The presence of AR did not predict development of new-onset AF.
Answer: Outpatients with HF due to systolic dysfunction did not present with PAF during 48 hours Holter, but had several episodes of AR. The clinical and prognostic importance of AR deserves further investigation.
