[EX Q]: To assess the activity of mTOR and downstream effector proteins in the mTOR pathway after treatment with a dual mTOR complex 1 and 2 (mTORC1/2) inhibitor (PP242) compared with that of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibitor (rapamycin) using a xenograft tumor model.', 'Pheochromocytoma PC12 cell were xenografted into nude mice. Animals were treated with PP242 and rapamycin. Mean tumor volume was compared across groups. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling staining was used to detect apoptosis. Immunoblot analysis was performed to assess mTORC1/2 activity using p-Akt, p-S6, and p-4E-BP1. The expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and the mediator of angiogenesis vascular endothelial growth factor were also investigated.', 'The mean tumor volume of PP242 was significantly lower than in other groups. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling results showed that PP242 markedly increased cell apoptosis compared with other groups. Immunoblot analysis of tumor lysates treated with PP242 demonstrated inhibition of activated p-Akt. We also observed that only PP242, but not rapamycin, significantly reduced Bcl-2 expression and markedly increased Bax expression. Rapamycin decreased vascular endothelial growth factor expression, but not nearly as striking as seen in the PP242 group.

[EX Q]: Previous research has demonstrated that chronic cigarette smoking and major depressive disorder (MDD) are each associated with cognitive decrements. Further, these conditions co-occur commonly, though mechanisms in the comorbid condition are poorly understood. There may be distinct, additive, or overlapping factors underlying comorbid cigarette smoking and MDD. The present study investigated the impact of smoking and MDD on executive function and emotion processing.', 'Participants (N=198) were grouped by diagnostic category (MDD and healthy controls, HC) and smoking status (ever-smokers, ES and never-smokers, NS). Participants completed the Facial Emotion Perception Test (FEPT), a measure of emotional processing, and the parametric Go/No-go task (PGNG), a measure of executive function.', 'FEPT performance was analyzed using ANCOVA with accuracy and reaction time as separate dependent variables. Repeated measures MANCOVA was conducted for PGNG with performance measure and task level as dependent variables. Analyses for each task included diagnostic and smoking group as independent variables, and gender was controlled for. Results for FEPT reveal that lower overall accuracy was found for ES relative to NS, though MDD did not differ from HC. Post-hoc analyses revealed that ES were poorer at identifying happy and sad, but not fearful or angry, faces. For PGNG, poorer performance was observed in MDD relative to HC in response time to Go targets, but there were no differences for ES and NS. Interaction of diagnosis and smoking group was not observed for performance on either task.

[EX Q]: Several reports have indicated the benefits of the acute care surgery (ACS) model in surgical outcomes. We tried to delineate the impact of the ACS model on surgical efficiency and quality.', 'Before the ACS model was implemented, abdominal surgical emergencies were evaluated by an on-call nontrauma general surgeon (pre-ACS model). An in-house trauma surgeon treated all patients with trauma or nontrauma abdominal surgical emergencies after the ACS model. Patients with acute appendicitis who underwent appendectomies were included. We conducted a pre- and poststudy to compare the time patients were in the emergency department and surgical qualities.', 'There were 146 and 159 patients enrolled in the pre-ACS model and ACS model, respectively. The overall ED length of stay in the ACS model was significantly shorter than that in the pre-ACS model (300.3 ± 61.7 vs 719.1 ± 339.0 minutes, P < .001). Hospital LOS was also significantly shorter in the ACS model than in the pre-ACS model (2.44 ± 1.39 vs 3.83 ± 2.21 days, P = .022).
