Question: A prominent feature of many human cancers is oncogene-driven activation of the DNA damage response (DDR) during early tumorigenesis. It has been shown previously that noninvasive imaging of the phosphorylated histone H2A variant H2AX, H2AX, a DNA damage signaling protein, is possible using (111)In-labeled anti-H2AX antibody conjugated to the cell-penetrating peptide transactivator of transcription (TAT). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether (111)In-anti-H2AX-TAT detects the DDR during mammary oncogenesis in BALB-neuT mice.', 'Mammary fat pads from BALB-neuT and wild-type mice (age, 40-106 d) were immunostained for H2AX. (111)In-anti-H2AX-TAT or a control probe was administered intravenously to BALB-neuT mice. SPECT was performed weekly and compared with tumor detection using palpation and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging.', 'H2AX expression was elevated in hyperplastic lesions in the mammary fat pads of BALB-neuT mice aged 76-106 d, compared with normal fat pads from younger mice and carcinomas from older mice (13.5 1.2 H2AX foci/cell vs. 5.2 1.5 [P < 0.05] and 3.4 1.1 [P < 0.001], respectively). Serial SPECT imaging revealed a 2.5-fold increase in (111)In-anti-H2AX-TAT accumulation in the mammary fat pads of mice aged 76-106 d, compared with control probe (P = 0.01). The median time to detection of neoplastic lesions by (111)In-anti-H2AX-TAT (defined as >5% injected dose per gram of tissue) was 96 d, compared with 120 and 131 d for dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging and palpation, respectively (P < 0.001).

Question: Despite evidence supporting the importance of breastfeeding to child health, breastfeeding practices remain suboptimal in Vietnam. There is currently little evidence on the importance of breastfeeding in the prevention of morbidity during infancy in Vietnam. In order to provide country specific data for policy makers to support breastfeeding friendly policies and programs, analysis was undertaken on a cross-sectional dataset to investigate the association between breastfeeding practices and prevalence of diarrhea and acute respiratory infection (ARI) among infants aged 0-5 months.', 'Data on socio-demographic characteristics, infant feeding practices and prevalence of diarrhea and ARI were obtained from 6,068 mother-child dyads in 11 provinces of Vietnam in 2011. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the associations between breastfeeding practices and child illnesses.', 'On average, the prevalence of diarrhea and ARI among infants 0-5 months was 5.3% and 24.5%, respectively. Though half of all infants were breastfed within one hour of birth, 73.3% were given prelacteal foods in the first three days after birth. Only 20.2% of children 0-5 months old were exclusively breastfed, while 32.4% were predominantly breastfed and 47.4% partially breastfed. After adjusting for confounders, early initiation of breastfeeding was associated with lower prevalence of diarrhea [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=0.74 (95% CI 0.58, 0.93)], while prelacteal feeding was associated with higher prevalence [AOR=1.53 (95% CI 1.15, 2.03)]. Compared to infants who were exclusively breastfed, infants who were predominantly [AOR=1.52 (95% CI 1.05, 2.21)] or partially breastfed [AOR=1.55 (95% CI 1.07, 2.24)] were more likely to have diarrhea. Prelacteal feeding [AOR=1.16 (95% CI 1.01, 1.33)] and partial breastfeeding [AOR relative to exclusive breastfeeding=1.24 (95% CI 1.03, 1.48)] were associated with higher prevalence of ARI. While the protective effects of exclusive breastfeeding against diarrhea declined with child age, this effect for ARI appears to have remained constant.

Question: There is increasing evidence that immune processes are important in the development of atherosclerosis. We investigated whether low density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorption therapy affected serum cytokine levels and the expression of adhesion molecules on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (lymphocytes and monocytes) in patients with arteriosclerotic obliterance (ASO).', "LDL adsorption therapy was repeated ten times over a period of three months in ten ASO patients. The total serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels were significantly reduced at the end of therapy. This was associated with a significant improvement in Fontaine's classification and ankle pressure index. We also measured serum levels of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-6 and tissue necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)) and expression of adhesion molecules (lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 alpha (LFA-1 alpha), LFA-1 beta, CD2, very late antigen (VLA)-4, VLA-5 and CD44) on mononuclear cells in the same patients and a group of healthy subjects. Serum levels of all inflammatory cytokines were markedly higher in ASO patients compared with healthy subjects, but there was no significant difference in the level before and after LDL adsorption. VLA-4 expression on CD3+ cells, but not of other adhesion molecules, was markedly higher in ASO patients compared with healthy subjects. LDL adsorption caused a significant reduction in CD2, VLA4 and VLA-5 expression on CD3+ cells. Furthermore, VLA-4 and VLA-5 expression on monocytes diminished significantly after LDL adsorption.
