To identify a biomarker of ovarian cancer response to chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Study: participants had epithelial ovarian cancer treated with surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy. DNA and RNA were isolated from frozen tumors and normal DNA was isolated from matched peripheral blood. A whole-genome loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis was performed using a high-density oligonucleotide array. Candidate genomic areas that predicted enhanced response to chemotherapy were identified with Cox proportional hazards methods. Gene expression analyses were performed through microarray experiments. Candidate genes were tested for independent effects on survival using Cox proportional hazards models, Kaplan-Meier survival curves, and the log-rank test.', 'Using a whole-genome approach to study the molecular determinants of ovarian cancer response to platinum-based chemotherapy, we identified LOH of a 13q region to predict prolonged progression-free survival (PFS; hazard ratio, 0.23; P = .006). ERCC5 was identified as a candidate gene in this region because of its known function in the nucleotide excision repair pathway, the unique DNA repair pathway that removes platinum-DNA adducts. We found LOH of the ERCC5 gene locus and downregulation of ERCC5 gene expression to predict prolonged PFS. Integration of genomic and gene expression data shows a correlation between 13q LOH and ERCC5 gene downregulation.

Ex Output:
Is eRCC5 a novel biomarker of ovarian cancer prognosis?

Intracellular pathogens have developed elaborate strategies for silent infection of preferred host cells. Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common pathogen in acute infections of the respiratory tract (e.g. pneumonia) and associated with chronic lung sequelae in adults and children. Within the lung, alveolar macrophages and polymorph nuclear neutrophils (PMN) are the first line of defense against bacteria, but also preferred host phagocytes of chlamydiae.', 'We could show that C. pneumoniae easily infect and hide inside neutrophil granulocytes until these cells become apoptotic and are subsequently taken up by macrophages. C. pneumoniae infection of macrophages via apoptotic PMN results in enhanced replicative activity of chlamydiae when compared to direct infection of macrophages, which results in persistence of the pathogen. Inhibition of the apoptotic recognition of C. pneumoniae infected PMN using PS- masking Annexin A5 significantly lowered the transmission of chlamydial infection to macrophages. Transfer of apoptotic C. pneumoniae infected PMN to macrophages resulted in an increased TGF-ss production, whereas direct infection of macrophages with chlamydiae was characterized by an enhanced TNF-alpha response.

Ex Output:
Does chlamydia pneumoniae hide inside apoptotic neutrophils to silently infect and propagate in macrophages?

The objective of the study was to evaluate work disability and its main associated factors in patients with early arthritis. Argentine Consortium for Early Arthritis (CONAART) is the first early arthritis cohort in Argentina. Patients with one or more swollen joints and less than 2 years of symptoms duration were followed up prospectively in 13 departments of rheumatology. Social, demographic, familiar, clinical, and laboratory data were recollected. At first year and every year, X-rays of hands and feet were performed and working status and pharmaco-economic data were recollected. Work status (employed, unemployed, retired) and type of work were assessed by direct interview using a predesigned questionnaire. Eight hundred forty-eight patients were included, rheumatoid arthritis (RA)=483 (57 %)and undifferentiated arthritis (UA)=365 (43 %), 694 (81.8 %) were women, median age was 46 years (interquartile range (IQR) 35-55.7) and median symptoms duration 7 months (IQR 3-12). Patients with RA had significantly higher disease activity, worse functional capacity and quality of life, and more severe radiological damage compared to UA patients. However work disability (unemployed patient) was comparable between groups (RA=21 % versus UA=18.6 % p=NS). In both groups, unemployed patients had higher disease activity score of 28 joints (DAS28), worse Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) values, and less years of formal education (p value <0.005 in all comparisons). Radiological damage was greater in unemployed patients but this difference did not reach statistical significance. In multivariate analysis, disease activity was the main variable associated with unemployment in both groups. Joint involvement was the main cause of work disability in this cohort of patients with early arthritis, independently of the final diagnosis.

Ex Output:
Is work disability related to the presence of arthritis and not to a specific diagnosis . Results from a large early arthritis cohort in Argentina?
