PROBLEM: Prostate cancer is one of the most common complex diseases with high leading cause of death in men. Identifications of prostate cancer associated genes and biomarkers are thus essential as they can gain insights into the mechanisms underlying disease progression and advancing for early diagnosis and developing effective therapies.', 'In this study, we presented an integrative analysis of gene expression profiling and protein interaction network at a systematic level to reveal candidate disease-associated genes and biomarkers for prostate cancer progression. At first, we reconstructed the human prostate cancer protein-protein interaction network (HPC-PPIN) and the network was then integrated with the prostate cancer gene expression data to identify modules related to different phases in prostate cancer. At last, the candidate module biomarkers were validated by its predictive ability of prostate cancer progression.', 'Different phases-specific modules were identified for prostate cancer. Among these modules, transcription Androgen Receptor (AR) nuclear signaling and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) signalling pathway were shown to be the pathway targets for prostate cancer progression. The identified candidate disease-associated genes showed better predictive ability of prostate cancer progression than those of published biomarkers. In context of functional enrichment analysis, interestingly candidate disease-associated genes were enriched in the nucleus and different functions were encoded for potential transcription factors, for examples key players as AR, Myc, ESR1 and hidden player as Sp1 which was considered as a potential novel biomarker for prostate cancer.

SOLUTION: Does integrative analysis reveal disease-associated genes and biomarkers for prostate cancer progression?

PROBLEM: Chronic opioid therapy for chronic pain treatment has increased. Hospital physicians, including hospitalists and medical/surgical resident physicians, care for many hospitalized patients, yet little is known about opioid prescribing at hospital discharge and future chronic opioid use.', "We aimed to characterize opioid prescribing at hospital discharge among 'opioid naïve' patients. Opioid naïve patients had not filled an opioid prescription at an affiliated pharmacy 1 year preceding their hospital discharge. We also set out to quantify the risk of chronic opioid use and opioid refills 1 year post discharge among opioid naïve patients with and without opioid receipt at discharge.", 'This was a retrospective cohort study.', 'From 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011, 6,689 opioid naïve patients were discharged from a safety-net hospital.', 'Chronic opioid use 1 year post discharge.', 'Twenty-five percent of opioid naïve patients (n\u2009=\u20091,688) had opioid receipt within 72 hours of discharge. Patients with opioid receipt were more likely to have diagnoses including neoplasm (6.3% versus 3.5%, p\u2009<\u20090.001), acute pain (2.7% versus 1.0 %, p\u2009<\u20090.001), chronic pain at admission (12.1% versus 3.3%, p\u2009<\u20090.001) or surgery during their hospitalization (65.1% versus 18.4%, p\u2009<\u20090.001) compared to patients without opioid receipt. Patients with opioid receipt were less likely to have alcohol use disorders (15.7% versus 20.7%, p\u2009<\u20090.001) and mental health disorders (23.9% versus 31.4%, p\u2009<\u20090.001) compared to patients without opioid receipt. Chronic opioid use 1 year post discharge was more common among patients with opioid receipt (4.1% versus 1.3%, p\u2009<\u20090.0001) compared to patients without opioid receipt. Opioid receipt was associated with increased odds of chronic opioid use (AOR\u2009=\u20094.90, 95% CI 3.22-7.45) and greater subsequent opioid refills (AOR\u2009=\u20092.67, 95% CI 2.29-3.13) 1 year post discharge compared to no opioid receipt.

SOLUTION: Does opioid Prescribing at Hospital Discharge contribute to Chronic Opioid Use?

PROBLEM: Marked variations in the interleukin-4 (IL-4)-producing capacity of basophils can be observed when aliquots from the same cell preparation are kept under different conditions before stimulation. The aim of this study was to identify factors affecting the functional activity of basophils and to determine optimal storage conditions.', 'Healthy blood donors.', 'Aliquots of purified basophils were kept for different time intervals on ice or at 37 degrees C, in buffer or culture medium, respectively. Following subsequent stimulation with anti-IgE, IL-4 release was determined.', 'Upon storage times up to 4 h, basophils produced more IL-4 when kept at 37 degrees C as compared to 4 degrees C. Surprisingly, buffer was superior compared to culture medium for storage. When the storage time was 20 h, IL-4 release was reduced significantly under all conditions studied.

SOLUTION:
Is interleukin-4 production from human basophils critically dependent on the storage conditions employed prior to stimulation?
