Abstract
Study question
What should be the optimal time interval which elapses between oocyte retrieval and denudation followed by ICSI , for optimal results in ART cycles ?
Summary answer
Our study suggests that an optimum interval between oocyte retrieval and oocyte denudation followed by ICSI, leads to better results in ART cycles.
What is known already
It is widely accepted that the best timing for OPU is 34–39 hours after ovulation trigger. Some studies suggest that preincubation time before ICSI can be beneficial when it comes to fertilization and pregnancy rates while late ICSI (fertilization) may have negative results due to oocyte ageing. Other studies claim that there is no significant difference in ART results when ICSI is performed between 2–6 hours post Oocyte-Retrieval (OR) . Few studies state that 1–3 hours of COC-culture prior to denudation and oocyte injection is better as far as fertilization , embryo quality and improved oocyte cytoplasmic maturity is concerned.
Study design, size, duration
RCT of 234 ICSI cycles was carried out between 2017–2019. Patients were divided into two groups-: A- Early denudation with ICSI and B- Late denudation with ICSI.Both the groups were comparable in terms of female age, number of oocytes, day of transfer, number of embryos transferred and embryo quality. Fresh or frozen embryos were transferred , which were always derived from the same stimulation cycle. Exclusion criteria were : Severe male factor / TESA / PESA.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
234 ICSI cycles with similar ovarian stimulation protocols were analyzed as per time range between triggering, OPU, denudation and ICSI. Patients were divided into two groups: A- Early denudation (1–2 hours after OPU) with ICSI (1–2 hours after denudation) and B- Late denudation (4–6 hours after Oocyte-Retrieval ) with ICSI (1–2 hours after denudation).Primary outcomes were oocyte maturation and fertilization rates and secondary outcomes were clinical pregnancy rate and abortion rates.
Main results and the role of chance
In group B ( Late denudation and ICSI), the mean fertilization rate was 67% and the Clinical Pregnancy rate was 46%. This was better than the mean fertilization rate of 56% and clinical pregnancy rate of 39% observed in group A ( Early denudation and ICSI). However the difference was not statistically significant. Therefore, ideal maturation rates were observed when denudation ( followed by ICSI ) was delayed and done 4–6 hours after Oocyte-Retrieval. In ICSI cycles in ART , ovarian stimulation is used to induce the simultaneous growth of multiple follicles, followed by final maturation and ovulation triggering with exogenous hCG. or GnRH-Agonist or both. Generally, oocyte retrieval (OR) is performed 34 - 36h later. In addition, 2–4 hours in culture of the cumulus oocyte complexes (COC) prior to oocyte injection is believed beneficial for fertilization and embryo quality, probably due to improved oocyte cytoplasmic maturity. However, in large ART centers with high workloads, following such definite time intervals is frequently very difficult.
Limitations, reasons for caution
In large busy centers , maintaining meticulous time intervals is difficult . As our study numbers are small, larger multicentric trials are required in order to confirm our findings and to provide more robust data . This data cannot be applied to IVM, TESE / PESE and severe male-factor infertility.
Wider implications of the findings: To achieve a successful fertilization, both nuclear and cytoplasmic maturity are required. Our Study indicates that a slight delay in denudation following Oocyte-Retrieval , will yield a higher number of good quality oocytes. A higher success rate can also be expected due to more number of embryos available for transfer.

Abstract
Study question
This study evaluated differences in semen parameters in male cancer patients in our ethnic population who banked their sperms prior to cancer treatment
Summary answer
We found significant differences in semen concentration, motility and morphology between different types of cancers, especially testicular cancers
What is known already
Impaired spermatogenesis and abnormal semen parameters in cancer patients has been noted, however certain cancer types are more damaging than others. In testicular cancer, spermatogenesis impairment is more quantitative than qualitative with sperm morphology being the most affected parameter. Among non testicular cancers, lymphoma cases usually show the most significantly impaired semen parameters
Study design, size, duration
We conducted a retrospective study analyzing semen parameters in 49 cancer patients between October 2014 to January 2020 who presented to the onco-fertility unit, Max Multispeciality Hospitals, New Delhi.
Furthermore, we did our analysis based on total of 101 samples and were broadly divided into testicular (37 samples) and non testicular cancers (64 samples). Patients who had previously received any form of cancer treatment including chemotherapy or radiotherapy were not included in this study
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Testicular Cancer(TC) group was further subcategorized into Seminoma and Non Seminoma groups whereas Non Testicular Cancer (NTC) group was subcategorized into Lymphoma and Non Lymphoma groups. Semen was collected by masturbation and analysis was performed in keeping with the WHO criteria. Statistical analyses was performed using SPSS software. p values <0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance.
Main results and the role of chance
In Testicular cancer (TC), 92% samples (34/37) had abnormal semen parameters whereas only 24.4% samples (22/64) were abnormal in Non Testicular cancer (NTC). Additionally, there were significant differences in sperm concentration, motility and morphology between TC and NTC groups.
Individually,
TC: Oligozoospermia was seen in 73% (27/37) with subdivision between Seminoma and Non Seminoma groups being 81.3% (13/16) and 61.9% (13/21).
Asthenozoospermia was seen in 86.5% (32/37) samples with subdivision between Seminoma and Non Seminoma groups being 87.5% (14/16) and 81% (17/21).
Teratozoospermia was seen in 59.5% (22/37) samples with subdivision between Seminoma and Non Seminoma groups being 75% (12/16) and 42.86% (9/21).
Combined OATS observed in 59.5% (22/37) samples with subdivision between Seminoma and Non Seminoma groups being 75% (12/16) and 42.86% (9/21)
NTC: Oligozoospermia was seen in 18.8% (12/64) samples with subdivision between Lymphoma and Non Lymphoma groups being 26.92% (7/26) and 26.32% (10/38).
Asthenozoospermia was seen in 32.8% (21/64) samples with subdivision between Lymphoma and Non Lymphoma groups being 34.62% (9/26) and 34.21% (13/38).
Teratozoospermia was seen in 17.2% (11/64) samples with subdivision between Lymphoma and Non Lymphoma groups being 26.9% (7/26) and 23.68% (9/38).
Combined OATS observed in 17.2% (11/64) samples with subdivision between Lymphoma and Non Lymphoma groups being 26.9% (7/26) and 23.68% (9/38).
Limitations, reasons for caution
Study was conducted in a single institution with lesser overall number of patients. Duration, staging and grading of cancers were also not individually assessed, which could be a further limiting factor.
Wider implications of the findings: Testicular cancers, especially seminomas, have the most severe effect upon semen parameters. Among NTC patients, lymphomas have the worst impact. Knowing the varying effect of different cancers on semen parameters in our ethnic population helps ART specialists and oncologists to appropriately modify patient counseling and improve fertility outcomes.

Abstract
A measurement of dielectron production in proton-proton (pp) collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV, recorded with the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC, is presented in this Letter. The data set was recorded with a reduced magnetic solenoid field. This enables the investigation of a kinematic domain at low dielectron (ee) invariant mass m_{ee} and pair transverse momentum p_{T,ee} that was previously inaccessible at the LHC. The cross section for dielectron production is studied as a function of m_{ee}, p_{T,ee}, and event multiplicity dN_{ch}/dη. The expected dielectron rate from hadron decays, called hadronic cocktail, utilizes a parametrization of the measured η/π^{0} ratio in pp and proton-nucleus collisions, assuming that this ratio shows no strong dependence on collision energy at low transverse momentum. Comparison of the measured dielectron yield to the hadronic cocktail at 0.15<m_{ee}<0.6 GeV/c^{2} and for p_{T,ee}<0.4 GeV/c indicates an enhancement of soft dielectrons, reminiscent of the "anomalous" soft-photon and soft-dilepton excess in hadron-hadron collisions reported by several experiments under different experimental conditions. The enhancement factor over the hadronic cocktail amounts to 1.61±0.13(stat)±0.17(syst,data)±0.34(syst,cocktail) in the ALICE acceptance. Acceptance-corrected excess spectra in m_{ee} and p_{T,ee} are extracted and compared with calculations of dielectron production from hadronic bremsstrahlung and thermal radiation within a hadronic many-body approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sutured inguinal hernia repairs are now uncommon, with evidence suggesting that those augmented with mesh are associated with a lower recurrence rate. We aimed to explore the suggestion that the established use of mesh does indeed lower the rate of operation for recurrence in a single National Health Service region. METHOD We collected retrospective Office of Population Censuses and Surveys coded data across one region of all primary and recurrent inguinal hernia repairs over 15 years (2004-2019). Electronic records of recurrent repairs were scrutinised to identify year and type of previous primary repair. RESULTS In total, 7,234 repairs were performed during this time, of which 289 (4%) were for symptomatic recurrence. Operations for primary repair increased year on year (111 in 2004 to 402 in 2019). Frequency of operation for recurrent herniation declined with increasing use of mesh (8.8% in 2004 to 3.5% in 2019). The majority of repairs (73%) for recurrence were by an open approach. As opposed to an open mesh repair, a primary laparoscopic repair was associated with an earlier recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Inguinal hernia repairs are increasing in frequency but operations for later symptomatic recurrence following an open primary prosthetic mesh repair are not.

Abstract
Introduction
Junior doctors are increasingly encountering Advance Care Planning (ACP) when they look after frail, older or multi-morbid patients during their hospital rotations. However, there remains a lack of formal training and resources, particularly with DNACPR discussions and when engaging patients and their loved ones with Emergency Health Care Planning (EHCP). We aimed to assess the need for ACP, improve the infrastructure by which ACP is delivered, and better support junior doctors to have these difficult conversations.
Method
Discharges from the Geriatrics Department at Kettering General Hospital were reviewed initially in May 2019 and again in January 2020 following intervention. We introduced a focused communication skills training session delivered at departmental teaching, which included a combination of simulation training and lectures. We additionally designed and implemented an EHCP template to aid junior doctors’ discussions. This could also be copied to the discharge letter, to facilitate safe transfer of care to primary care.
Results
In May 2019 of 32 patients, 100% met at least one SPICTTM criterion, with median of 4 criteria, thus indicating a high need for ACP in this cohort. Despite this, only one discharge letter included an EHCP and two had a request for GP colleagues to complete one. Evaluation of discharges again in January of 2020 reconfirmed a similar need for ACP, but following our interventions, the number of EHCP’s performed had increased. Of 22 identified patients 4 had a completed EHCP and 3 were requested for completion by their GP. Qualitative questionnaires demonstrated an improvement in both knowledge and confidence amongst junior doctors following the training session.
Conclusion
We have shown that there is a necessity for ACP to be considered for Geriatrics inpatients, and that providing structure and training in this challenging area offers benefit to both patients and junior doctors.

Abstract
Wider implementation of AI in sheep in the field condition has not been possible till date due to very poor conception rate after cervical insemination with cryopreserved semen. Poor cervical penetrability in ewe and diminished sperm functions in cryopreserved semen are considered responsible for it. In the present study, effect of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on post-thaw qualities of ram semen was investigated. Ejaculates from eight adult Malpura rams were pooled and diluted (800 × 106 sperm mL-1) with TES-Tris-fructose-egg yolk extender having either 5 or 6% glycerol and supplemented with 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0% (w/v) CMC and packaged into 0.25 mL French mini straws. The straws were progressively cooled to 5 °C inside a cold cabinet (5 °C) and then equilibrated for 22 h inside a refrigerator (2-5 °C). Straws were frozen at -25 °C min-1 up to -125 °C using a programmable cell freezer (Planer Biomed R-204, UK) and finally plunged into liquid nitrogen. The post-thaw progressive motility was higher (P < 0.05) in 0.75% CMC-treated group compared to control. Overall, both pre-freeze and post-thaw sperm kinetics was comparable between CMC-treated and control groups. The post-thaw sperm viability, acrosomal integrity and sperm with high mitochondrial membrane potential (hMMP) were relatively higher while sperm with high membrane cholesterol was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in presence of 0.25% CMC compared to the control. Both sperm having hMMP and non-capacitated sperm were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in presence of 5% glycerol than 6% glycerol. Similarly, functional membrane integrity (FMI) was higher in presence of 5% glycerol than 6% glycerol when CMC was added at 0.5% to extender. In conclusion, both 0.25% CMC and 5% glycerol resulted in improvement in several post-thaw sperm functions in cryopreserved ram semen. Thus CMC demonstrated cryoprotective effect on ram sperm in a synergistic manner with glycerol.

Abstract
The elliptic flow of electrons from beauty hadron decays at midrapidity (|y|<0.8) is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The azimuthal distribution of the particles produced in the collisions can be parametrized with a Fourier expansion, in which the second harmonic coefficient represents the elliptic flow, v_{2}. The v_{2} coefficient of electrons from beauty hadron decays is measured for the first time in the transverse momentum (p_{T}) range 1.3-6 GeV/c in the centrality class 30%-50%. The measurement of electrons from beauty-hadron decays exploits their larger mean proper decay length cτ≈500 μm compared to that of charm hadrons and most of the other background sources. The v_{2} of electrons from beauty hadron decays at midrapidity is found to be positive with a significance of 3.75 σ. The results provide insights into the degree of thermalization of beauty quarks in the medium. A model assuming full thermalization of beauty quarks is strongly disfavored by the measurement at high p_{T}, but is in agreement with the results at low p_{T}. Transport models including substantial interactions of beauty quarks with an expanding strongly interacting medium describe the measurement within uncertainties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lower airway bacterial colonisation (LABC) in COPD patients is associated with increased exacerbation frequency and faster lung function decline. Defective macrophage phagocytosis in COPD drives inflammation, but how defective macrophage function contributes to exacerbations is not clear. This study investigated the association between macrophage phagocytosis and exacerbation frequency, LABC and clinical parameters. METHODS Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) were generated from 92 stable COPD patients, and at the onset of exacerbation in 39 patients. Macrophages were exposed to fluorescently labelled Haemophilus influenzae or Streptococcus pneumoniae for 4 h, then phagocytosis measured by fluorimetry and cytokine release by ELISA. Sputum bacterial colonisation was measured by PCR. RESULTS Phagocytosis of H. influenzae was negatively correlated with exacerbation frequency (r = 0.440, p < 0.01), and was significantly reduced in frequent vs. infrequent exacerbators (1.9 × 103 RFU vs. 2.5 × 103 RFU, p < 0.01). There was no correlation for S. pneumoniae. There was no association between phagocytosis of either bacteria with age, lung function, smoking history or treatment with inhaled corticosteroids, or long-acting bronchodilators. Phagocytosis was not altered during an exacerbation, or in the 2 weeks post-exacerbation. In response to phagocytosis, MDM from exacerbating patients showed increased release of CXCL-8 (p < 0.001) and TNFα (p < 0.01) compared to stable state. CONCLUSION Impaired COPD macrophage phagocytosis of H. influenzae, but not S. pneumoniae is associated with exacerbation frequency, resulting in pro-inflammatory macrophages that may contribute to disease progression. Targeting these frequent exacerbators with drugs that improve macrophage phagocytosis may prove beneficial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing rates of maternal opioid use disorder has led to greater number of opioid exposed newborns (OENs). Maternal enrollment in medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) program improves short term neonatal outcomes. This study aimed at assessing neurobehavioral outcomes for OENs. METHODS Retrospective observational cohort study of OENs between Jul 2006 and Dec 2018. Two study groups were identified as initiation of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) prior to diagnoses of pregnancy or after. Primary outcome variables were enrollment in and duration of EI services. Secondary outcome variable was diagnoses of a behavioral and/or developmental disorder (BDD) during the study period. RESULTS Of 242 infants, 113 were enrolled in EI and BDD diagnoses data was available for all infants [age range 6 to 12 years], 82% infants had exposure to maternal MOUD, while 18% were exposed to either maternal prescription non-MOUD opioids or illicit opioids. Maternal MOUD initiation prior to pregnancy was associated with improved short term outcomes for OENs. Almost a third of infants were diagnosed with a BDD with no differences between the two study groups. CONCLUSION Early initiation of maternal MOUD improved short term outcomes and discharge disposition for OENs. Prolonged in-utero exposure to opioids presents a potential for negative impact on neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes. These risks must be considered to increase access and adherence to EI services, as well as to focus on non-opioid based maternal MOUD. Longitudinal studies assessing the safety of MOUD on short and long-term child health outcomes are needed.

Abstract
Introduction The usage of mobile phones has seen exponential growth worldwide.1,2 While college students use mobile applications for educational purposes, the reports of adverse health problems are emerging.3,4 Objectives Investigate the impact of mobile usage patterns on the life of medical students and its association with psychiatric effects concerning ringxiety and nomophobia. Methods Data was collected from the 300 medical students of Ashwini Rural Medical College of India through a survey for this cross-sectional study. Chi-square (χ2) was used for statistics that revealed association, mobile phone usage patterns, including time spent before sleep, in classrooms or clinics, and frequency of update checks. Results A significant association was found between time spent on mobile before sleep and duration of sleep, and mobile usage in classrooms or clinics and psychological effects (p<0.0001). Significant association observed between mobile use in classes or clinics and the frequency of update checks, and the frequency of update checks and psychological effects (p<0.0001). About 78% of participants distracted in self-study due to mobile. Updates checked every 10 minutes by 14.7%, every hourly by 43%, and during breaks by 42.3%. Mobile low network caused anxiety (13.3%) and irritability (67.3%). About 41.7% of students couldn’t abstain from mobile use for a day. Every student used the mobile phone averagely for 24 minutes before they went to sleep. Conclusions Our study results highlight the prevalence of ringxiety and nomophobia in medical school students. With the surging dependency on mobile phones and technology, we need to cautiously monitor its adverse effects on psychology and psychiatric conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pleurisy in pigs has economic impacts in the production stage and at slaughter. This study sought to establish if some micro-organisms can be found in high numbers in lungs with pleurisy by assessing batches of pigs at an abattoir in Queensland Australia. DESIGN Samples of lung (including trachea/bronchus and lymph nodes) from a maximum of 5 pleurisy affected pigs were collected from 46 batches of pigs representing 46 Queensland farms. PROCEDURE Pleurisy-affected lung areas were cultured by traditional bacteriological methods and bacteria quantified by plate scores. Additionally, tracheal or bronchial swabs and apical lobe fluid were tested for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae DNA and the superior tracheobronchial lymph nodes were tested for porcine circovirus type 2 DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All apparently significant bacteria were identified via PCR or sequencing. Typing was undertaken on some of the bacterial isolates. RESULTS The most prevalent pathogens were M. hyopneumoniae, Streptococcus suis and Porcine Circovirus type 2, being found in 34, 38 and 31 batches, respectively. Other bacteria found were Actinobacillus species (29 batches), Pasteurella multocida (24 batches), Mycoplasma flocculare (9 batches), Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (7 batches), Mycoplasma hyorhinis (4 batches), Bisgaard Taxon 10 (1 batch), Glaesserella parasuis (1 batch), Streptococcus minor (1 batch) and Streptococcus porcinus (1 batch). Most batches had more than one bacterial species. CONCLUSION The high percentage of batches infected with S. suis (83%), M. hyopneumoniae (74%) and PCV2 (70%) and clustering by a batch of these pathogens, as well as the presence of many secondary pathogens, suggests synergy between these organisms may have resulted in pleurisy.

Abstract
AIM To assess differences in qualitative and quantitative parameters of pulmonary perfusion from dual-energy computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography (DECT-PA) in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia with and without pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective institutional review board-approved study included 74 patients (mean age 61±18 years, male:female 34:40) with COVID-19 pneumonia in two countries (one with 68 patients, and the other with six patients) who underwent DECT-PA on either dual-source (DS) or single-source (SS) multidetector CT machines. Images from DS-DECT-PA were processed to obtain virtual mono-energetic 40 keV (Mono40), material decomposition iodine (MDI) images and quantitative perfusion statistics (QPS). Two thoracic radiologists determined CT severity scores based on type and extent of pulmonary opacities, assessed presence of PE, and pulmonary parenchymal perfusion on MDI images. The QPS were calculated from the CT Lung Isolation prototype (Siemens). The correlated clinical outcomes included duration of hospital stay, intubation, SpO2 and death. The significance of association was determined by receiver operating characteristics and analysis of variance. RESULTS One-fifth (20.2%, 15/74 patients) had pulmonary arterial filling defects; most filling defects were occlusive (28/44) located in the segmental and sub-segmental arteries. The parenchymal opacities were more extensive and denser (CT severity score 24±4) in patients with arterial filling defects than without filling defects (20±8; p=0.028). Ground-glass opacities demonstrated increased iodine distribution; mixed and consolidative opacities had reduced iodine on DS-DECT-PA but increased or heterogeneous iodine content on SS-DECT-PA. QPS were significantly lower in patients with low SpO2 (p=0.003), intubation (p=0.006), and pulmonary arterial filling defects (p=0.007). CONCLUSION DECT-PA QPS correlated with clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early age at first drink (AFD) has been linked to early onset and increased severity of alcohol dependence in various studies. Few Indian studies on AFD have shown a negative correlation between AFD and severity of alcohol dependence. Our study aimed to explore this relationship in patients with alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) diagnosed using ICD-10 criteria. METHODS One hundred fifty-one consecutive patients freshly diagnosed with ADS were included in the study, which was conducted at the psychiatry unit of a tertiary care, multispecialty hospital. The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) was used to assess severity of alcohol dependence. RESULTS Mean AFD was 24.85 years (range = 13-40 years). Median ASI score was 36 (range = 21 to 57). The study yielded a weak negative correlation (ρ = -.105) between AFD and ASI, which was statistically not significant. CONCLUSIONS We found no correlation between AFD and severity of alcohol dependence at detection in Indian Armed Forces personnel, which is contrary to what has been reported worldwide and in previous Indian studies. Delayed initiation of alcohol use among those enrolling in the Indian Armed Forces and early detection of alcohol dependence within the military environment are possible explanations.

Abstract
Mastitis and metritis are two inflammatory diseases with high economic impact on dairy industry and farmers are losing revenues. Antibiotic treatment for these disease conditions typically achieve suboptimal outcomes. Moreover, emerging antibiotic resistance in mastitis and metritis worldwide has a severe effect on productivity, fertility, and lifespan of animals. A paradigm shift in treatment strategies is much needed for these animals. Attracting properties of mesenchymal stem cells may act as an alternative strategy for treating these diseases. In addition to their ability to differentiate into multiple types of cells, mesenchymal stem cells can orchestrate immune responses and modulate tissue microenvironments. In the present study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSC) for mastitis and metritis. A well-characterised adipose-derived stem cell line with 3–5 passages cells were used for treatment for these diseases. In a safety trial, mastitis- and metritis-infected cattle were administered with 1×106 cells of AT-MSC through different routes (local, IV, IV+local). Animals were clinically evaluated during 15 days of the experimental period and blood samples were collected for hemogram determination. The efficacy was checked under both invivo and invitro conditions. Invitro efficiency of AT-MSC was determined using a transwell plate experiment, in which AT-MSC were co-cultured with bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus). Invivo efficiency was evaluated by administration of in 2mL (1×106 cells) of AT-MSC dose; then, somatic cell count (SCC) in milk of mastitic cattle and polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell count in cervical vaginal fluid (CVF) of metritic cattle were determined. Gene expression profiling of antimicrobial (cathelicidin, lipocalin, cystatin) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10) peptides were quantified in all groups: IV, local, IV+local, and control ATB (antibiotic). Allogenic AT-MSC did not induce any immunological rejection response in treated animals. A significant reduction of bacteria in CVF invitro when co-cultured with AT-MSC was observed. The PMN count was significantly reduced in CVF of the IV+local group. The SCC in milk of mastitic animals was decreased in the local (intramammary) group. Maximum expression of IL-6, IL-10, cathelicidin, lipocalin, and cystatin and angiopoietin genes were observed on Day 3 followed by Day 7 in the local group in case of mastitis. In metritis, expression of IL-6, IL-10, cathelicidin, lipocalin, cystatin, and angiopoietin were observed at Day 3 in the IV+local group. All mastitic and metritic cattle were completely and permanently cured within 30 days after treatment with mesenchymal stem cells. In conclusion, we provide initial evidence for the use of allogenic AT-MSC and their safety and efficacy to treat mastitis and metritis in dairy cattle.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and patients are managed clinically based on ER, PR, HER2 expression, and key risk factors. The use of gene expression assays for early stage disease is already common practice. These tests have found a place in risk stratifying the heterogeneous group of stage I–II breast cancers for recurrence, for predicting chemotherapy response, and for predicting breast cancer-related mortality. Most guidelines for hormone receptor (HR)–positive early breast cancer recommend addition of adjuvant chemotherapy for most women, leading to overtreatment, which causes considerable morbidity and cost. Expert oncologist discussed about strategies of gene expression assays and aid in chemotherapy recommendations for treatment of HR + ve EBC and the expert group used data from published literature, practical experience and opinion of a large group of academic oncologists to arrive at this practical consensus recommendations for the benefit of community oncologists.

Abstract
In this Letter, we report the first measurement of the inelastic cross section for antideuteron-nucleus interactions at low particle momenta, covering a range of 0.3≤p<4 GeV/c. The measurement is carried out using p-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV, recorded with the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC and utilizing the detector material as an absorber for antideuterons and antiprotons. The extracted raw primary antiparticle-to-particle ratios are compared to the results from detailed ALICE simulations based on the geant4 toolkit for the propagation of (anti)particles through the detector material. The analysis of the raw primary (anti)proton spectra serves as a benchmark for this study, since their hadronic interaction cross sections are well constrained experimentally. The first measurement of the inelastic cross section for antideuteron-nucleus interactions averaged over the ALICE detector material with atomic mass numbers ⟨A⟩=17.4 and 31.8 is obtained. The measured inelastic cross section points to a possible excess with respect to the Glauber model parametrization used in geant4 in the lowest momentum interval of 0.3≤p<0.47 GeV/c up to a factor 2.1. This result is relevant for the understanding of antimatter propagation and the contributions to antinuclei production from cosmic ray interactions within the interstellar medium. In addition, the momentum range covered by this measurement is of particular importance to evaluate signal predictions for indirect dark-matter searches.

Abstract
Tight-fitting filtering facepiece (FFP3) face masks are essential respiratory protective equipment during aerosol-generating procedures in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) environment, and require a fit test to assess mask–face seal competency. Facial hair is considered to be an impediment for achieving a competent seal. We describe an under-mask beard cover called the Singh Thattha technique, which obtained a pass rate of 25/27 (92.6%) by qualitative and 5/5 (100%) by quantitative fit test in full-bearded individuals. Sturdier versions of FFP3 were more effective. For individuals for whom shaving is not possible, the Singh Thattha technique could offer an effective solution to safely don respirator masks.

Abstract
Introduction: The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic debridement, microfracture and plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF) injection in the management of type V (Scranton) osteochondral lesions of talus and its role in healing the subchondral cyst and cessation of progression of ankle osteoarthritis. Material and Methods: This is a prospective case series conducted on patients who were diagnosed with type V osteochondral lesions of talus. All the cases were treated with arthroscopic debridement, microfracture, and PRGF injections. The patients were evaluated for the healing of subchondral cysts and progression of osteoarthritis with radiography (plain radiographs and computerised tomography Scan). Also, the patients’ outcome was evaluated with Quadruple Visual Analogue Scale, Ankle Range of Motion, Foot and Ankle Disability Index, Foot and Ankle Outcome Instrument and a Satisfaction Questionnaire. Results: Five male patients underwent arthroscopic debridement, microfracture and PRGF injection for type V osteochondral lesion of talus. The mean age of patients was 27.4 years (19-47 years). All the patients gave history of minor twisting injury. Subchondral cyst healing was achieved in all patients by six months post-surgery. However, four out of five patients had developed early osteoarthritic changes of the ankle by their last follow-up [mean follow-up 29 months (ranged 15-36 months)]. Despite arthritic changes, all the patients reported ‘Good’ to ‘Excellent’ results on satisfaction questionnaire and Foot and Ankle Disability Index and could perform their day to day activities including sports. Conclusion: Arthroscopic debridement, microfracture, and PRGF causes healing of the subchondral cyst but does not cause cessation of progression to osteoarthritis of ankle in type V osteochondral defects of talus. However, despite progress to osteoarthritis, patient satisfaction post-procedure is good to excellent at short-term follow-up.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the genetic and pathogenic variability of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae causing bacterial blight in rice on the remote Andaman Islands, India. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 27 yellow-pigmented bacterial isolates representing rice fields of Andaman Islands incited blight on the susceptible-rice cultivar, C14-8. Phenotypic, pathogenic traits and 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed their identity as X. oryzae pv. oryzae. Virulence profiling indicated the prevalence of seven pathotypes of X. oryzae pv. oryzae on the Islands. Pathotypes-VI and -VII were highly virulent, whereas the pathotype-I was less virulent. Multilocus sequence typing based on nucleotide sequence polymorphism in nine housekeeping genes dnaK; fyuA; gyrB (two loci): rpoD; fusA; gapA; gltA and lepA clustered 27 isolates into 17 sequence types (STs) segregated into two clonal-complexes (CC). While CC-I comprised of isolates from Andaman Island, the CC-II is a mixture of isolates representing mainland India and Andaman Island. The data revealed trans-boundary pathogen introduction and a consequent intra-regional diversification on these islands due to the deployment of different rice cultivars in different regions. CONCLUSIONS Genotyping and pathotyping of sland isolates revealed seven pathotypes distributed in two clonal complexes with strong indications for trans-boundary movement and consequent diversification of the bacterial pathogen. Highly virulent pathotypes of X. oryzae pv. oryzae that could overcome combinations of R-genes, xa13+Xa21 as well as xa5+xa13 were found prevalent in the Andaman Islands SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Genetic and virulence analysis of X. oryzae pv. oryzae in the Andaman Islands revealed introduction and host-mediated regional diversification and local adaptation of X oryzae pv. oryzae. The study calls for the need of multi-gene pyramiding for durable disease resistance and establishing stringent quarantine measures for safeguarding island agricultural practices in the future.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Research on hospital resilience is scarce and favours top-down approaches, and evidence from the field and operational levels is lacking. The aim of our study was to understand the mechanisms of hospital and individual resilience experienced by staff from a tertiary hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, after the 2015 Earthquake.
Methods
We conducted semi-structured interviews with different professionals in May 2018; undertook a deductive thematic analysis of hospital resilience using the framework proposed by Bruneau et al; and used an inductive thematic analysis for individual resilience.
Results
The earthquake caused different types of burden to the hospital and individuals. Redundancy was mostly influenced by linkages with lower levels of care. Resourcefulness consisted mostly of spontaneous adaptations, with task shifting the most important for human resources. External provision of resources enabled the transfer of part of the burden but precipitated accountability-related challenges. The hospital's robustness depended not only on its physical resistance, but also on the functional capacity to provide life saving care, although routine services were interrupted and quality decreased. The hospital ensured rapidity in providing life saving care to the victims and re-start of routine activities, but recovery to a sense of normality was more conflicting and dependent on the individual. Individual resilience was dictated by safety, a sense of meaningfulness, self and external appreciation, and community support.
Conclusions
Our study shows the importance of staff experiences to improve hospital resilience. Disaster plans should acknowledge the role of task shifting, and basic care should be taught to all, not just those with clinical functions. Health workers are extremely overwhelmed during disaster response, and disaster plans should engage staff at an early stage to ensure they feel safe and sufficiently supported.
Key messages
Our work is one of the first to study hospital resilience with field data from qualitative interviews with hospital staff. Hospital resilience strategies should also address individual resilience of hospital staff.

Abstract
Background World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) constituted a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on 30 January 2020 and characterized the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. India enacted such measures early on for effective mitigation and suppression to reduce community transmission, including an onerous national lockdown. The impact of the health system governance is quite apparent among all stakeholders including the public in such emergency contexts. Methods We compiled the daily data on the number of COVID-19 cases, recoveries and deaths from January 30th until June 16th, 2020. Different stages were categorized from post PHEIC declaration (pre-lockdown) phase to lockdown phases and unlocking phase as implemented. The several measures adopted by the national government were structured in four broad categories as Governance and socioeconomic, travel restrictions, lockdown and public health measures. These measures were compared during each phase. Results It was revealed that while the cases are rising the phased restrictions has helped in delaying the peak and remarkably interrupted the rate of transmission. The national average doubling rate was 3 days at the beginning which improved to 22 days. The basic reproduction number remained close to 1 during the last week of lockdown. However, the initial interruption of needed aid and technical support had negative social and economic impacts on the affected population. Conclusions As the situation abates following the measures adopted by the government, an articulate strategy of unlocking through increased testing and prompt isolation needs to be developed for more effective reduction and protecting the livelihoods allowing to further relax the lockdown measures. Key messages There is need for the local government to consider a strategic easing of the lockdown for protecting the rights of the most affected population. As the transmission rates are low, the easing of lockdown can be benefited from improved testing and prompt isolation.

Abstract
Native extracellular matrix (ECM) possesses the biochemical cues to promote cell survival. However, decellularized, the ECM loses its cell supporting mechanical integrity. We report, here, a novel biohybrid vascular graft of polycaprolactone (PCL), poliglecaprone (PGC) incorporated with human biomatrix as functional materials for vascular tissue interfacing by electrospinning, thus harnessing the biochemical cues from the ECM and the mechanical integrity of the polymer blends. The fabricated fibro-porous tubular small diameter graft (i.d. = 4 mm) from polymer blend was coated with a cocktail of collagenous matrix derived from human placenta called HuBiogel™. The compositional, morphological, and mechanical properties of graft were measured and compared with a non-coated tubular PCL/PGC graft using Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). BCA assay was used to calculate the protein content and coating-uniformity throughout the hybrid graft. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength (1.6 MPa), Young's modulus (2.4 MPa), burst pressure (>1900 mmHg), and suture retention strength (2.3 N) of hybrid graft were found to be comparable to native blood vessels. Protein coating has improved the hydrophilicity and the biocompatibility (cell viability and cell-attachment) enhanced with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) seeded in vitro onto the lumen layer of the graft over two weeks. The overall results promise this new biohybrid graft to be a potential candidate for vascular tissue interface and regeneration.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell cancers involving the masticatory space are staged as unresectable cancers and their treatment is difficult. Curative treatment with extensive surgery followed by adjuvant therapy is one of the treatment options. In this retrospective study, the survival of 123 patients (93 with T4a cancers, 30 with T4b cancers), treated during the period August 2009 to August 2015, was evaluated. The majority had bucco-alveolar cancers (62.6%), were male (61.8%), and were tobacco users (76.4%). The select group of T4b oral cancer patients were treated with surgery, which included infratemporal fossa clearance in all 30 patients, followed by adjuvant therapy. The masseter was the most commonly involved masticatory muscle, and 24 patients had fewer than three involved structures. Free margins were obtained in 90.2% of cases; 41.5% of cases were node-positive. One hundred and four patients (84.6%) completed adjuvant treatment. The median follow-up was 42 months. For node-negative patients with T4a and T4b cancers, the 5-year overall survival was 59% and 50.2%, respectively (P= 0.62), and 5-year disease-free survival was 64.6% and 53.5%, respectively (P= 0.01). In conclusion, the select group of patients with T4b oral cancers and less than three masticatory space structures involved had comparable outcomes to those with T4a cancers after treatment with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Abstract
The first measurement at the LHC of charge-dependent directed flow (v_{1}) relative to the spectator plane is presented for Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. Results are reported for charged hadrons and D^{0} mesons for the transverse momentum intervals p_{T}>0.2 GeV/c and 3<p_{T}<6 GeV/c in the 5%-40% and 10%-40% centrality classes, respectively. The difference between the positively and negatively charged hadron v_{1} has a positive slope as a function of pseudorapidity η, dΔv_{1}/dη=[1.68±0.49(stat)±0.41(syst)]×10^{-4}. The same measurement for D^{0} and D[over ¯]^{0} mesons yields a positive value dΔv_{1}/dη=[4.9±1.7(stat)±0.6(syst)]×10^{-1}, which is about 3 orders of magnitude larger than the one of the charged hadrons. These measurements can provide new insights into the effects of the strong electromagnetic field and the initial tilt of matter created in noncentral heavy ion collisions on the dynamics of light (u, d, and s) and heavy (c) quarks. The large difference between the observed Δv_{1} of charged hadrons and D^{0} mesons may reflect different sensitivity of the charm and light quarks to the early time dynamics of a heavy ion collision. These observations challenge some recent theoretical calculations, which predicted a negative and an order of magnitude smaller value of dΔv_{1}/dη for both light flavor and charmed hadrons.

Abstract
The first evidence of spin alignment of vector mesons (K^{*0} and ϕ) in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is reported. The spin density matrix element ρ_{00} is measured at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) of 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector. ρ_{00} values are found to be less than 1/3 (1/3 implies no spin alignment) at low transverse momentum (p_{T}<2 GeV/c) for K^{*0} and ϕ at a level of 3σ and 2σ, respectively. No significant spin alignment is observed for the K_{S}^{0} meson (spin=0) in Pb-Pb collisions and for the vector mesons in pp collisions. The measured spin alignment is unexpectedly large but qualitatively consistent with the expectation from models which attribute it to a polarization of quarks in the presence of angular momentum in heavy-ion collisions and a subsequent hadronization by the process of recombination.

Abstract
Background Many differences exist in postgraduate surgical training programmes worldwide. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the training requirements in general surgery across 23 different countries. Methods A collaborator affiliated with each country collected data from the country's official training body website, where possible. The information collected included: management, teaching, academic and operative competencies, mandatory courses, years of postgraduate training (inclusive of intern years), working‐hours regulations, selection process into training and formal examination. Results Countries included were Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, India, Ireland, Italy, Kuwait, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA and Zambia. Frameworks for defining the outcomes of surgical training have been defined nationally in some countries, with some similarities to those in the UK and Ireland. However, some training programmes remain heterogeneous with regional variation, including those in many European countries. Some countries outline minimum operative case requirement (range 60–1600), mandatory courses, or operative, academic or management competencies. The length of postgraduate training ranges from 4 to 10 years. The maximum hours worked per week ranges from 38 to 88 h, but with no limit in some countries. Conclusion Countries have specific and often differing requirements of their medical profession. Equivalence in training is granted on political agreements, not healthcare need or competencies acquired during training.

Abstract
Background:Premature mortality is an important way to quantify disease burden. Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) can die prematurely of disease, however, the premature mortality burden of SSc is unknown. The years of potential life lost (YPLL), in addition to age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) in younger ages, can be used as measures of premature death.Objectives:To evaluate the premature mortality burden of SSc by calculating: 1) the proportions of SSc deaths as compared to deaths from all other causes (non-SSc) by age groups over time, 2) ASMR for SSc relative to non-SSc-ASMR by age groups over time, and 3) the YPLL for SSc relative to other autoimmune diseases.Methods:This is a population-based study using a national mortality database of all United States residents from 1968 through 2015, with SSc recorded as the underlying cause of death in 46,798 deaths. First, we calculated the proportions of deaths for SSc and non-SSc by age groups for each of 48 years and performed joinpoint regression trend analysis1to estimate annual percent change (APC) and average APC (AAPC) in the proportion of deaths by age. Second, we calculated ASMR for SSc and non-SSc causes and ratio of SSc-ASMR to non-SSc-ASMR by age groups for each of 48 years, and performed joinpoint analysis to estimate APC and AAPC for these measures (SSc-ASMR, non-SSc-ASMR, and SSc-ASMR/non-SSc-ASMR ratio) by age. Third, to calculate YPLL, each decedent’s age at death from a specific disease was subtracted from an arbitrary age limit of 75 years for years 2000 to 2015. The years of life lost were then added together to yield the total YPLL for each of 13 preselected autoimmune diseases.Results:23.4% of all SSc deaths as compared to 13.5% of non-SSc deaths occurred at <45 years age in 1968 (p<0.001, Chi-square test). In this age group, the proportion of annual deaths decreased more for SSc than for non-SSc causes: from 23.4% in 1968 to 5.7% in 2015 at an AAPC of -2.2% (95% CI, -2.4% to -2.0%) for SSc, and from 13.5% to 6.9% at an AAPC of -1.5% (95% CI, -1.9% to -1.1%) for non-SSc. Thus, in 2015, the proportion of SSc and non-SSc deaths at <45 year age was no longer significantly different. Consistently, SSc-ASMR decreased from 1.0 (95% CI, 0.8 to 1.2) in 1968 to 0.4 (95% CI, 0.3 to 0.5) per million persons in 2015, a cumulative decrease of 60% at an AAPC of -1.9% (95% CI, -2.5% to -1.2%) in <45 years old. The ratio of SSc-ASMR to non-SSc-ASMR also decreased in this age group (cumulative -20%, AAPC -0.3%). In <45 years old, the YPLL for SSc was 65.2 thousand years as compared to 43.2 thousand years for rheumatoid arthritis, 18.1 thousand years for dermatomyositis,146.8 thousand years for myocarditis, and 241 thousand years for type 1 diabetes.Conclusion:Mortality at younger ages (<45 years) has decreased at a higher pace for SSc than from all other causes in the United States over a 48-year period. However, SSc accounted for more years of potential life lost than rheumatoid arthritis and dermatomyositis combined. These data warrant further studies on SSc disease burden, which can be used to develop and prioritize public health programs, assess performance of changes in treatment, identify high-risk populations, and set research priorities and funding.References:[1]Yen EY….Singh RR.

Abstract
Background:Biological therapy plays a major role in the management of patients with rheumatic disorders. Evidences generated at experimental settings have shown biosimilars as clinically effective, safe and cost effective. Nevertheless, real world data are lacking about cost effectiveness and causes of switching back to originator product among patientsObjectives:To describe the associated factors and cost evaluation of switching back to the originator etanercept from the biosimilar among patients with rheumatic disorders at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital of United KingdomMethods:A descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken with secondary data in a tertiary care hospital. All the patients who were switched from original etanercept (originator) to biosimilar Etanercept from October 2018 to June 2019 were included in the study. A pre-tested data extraction sheet was used in the data collection. Annual expenditure estimates for the treatment modalities were collected by consulting the experts. Descriptive analysis was done for the characteristics of the study sample and for the estimated annual costs. Associations of age and sex in the switching of treatment modalities were explored with chi-square test and Mann Whitney U test with 5% significance level.Results:Records of 100 participants were extracted with a male to female ratio of 1: 1.4. The median [interquartile range (IQR)] of the participants was 54 (44 to 66) years. The leading three diagnoses were: rheumatoid arthritis (65%), Ankylosing Spondylitis (18%) and Psoriatic arthritis (14%). Out of the participants, 32 (32%) switched back to originator with a median (IQR) duration of 16.0 (10.5 to 19.5) weeks of commencing the biosimilar. The proportions of switching back were 28.1%, 34.4% and 37.5% among those who did, in the chronological 3- monthly intervals of the study. The main reasons for switching back included; side effects (21.9%), lack of efficacy (65.6%), both of these (9.4%) and other reasons (3.1%). Older age was observed among those who switched back (p<0.05) but gender did not show a statistically significant association (p=0.532). The annual estimated cost for biosimilar was 37.3% less than that for originator per patient.Conclusion:In our cohort nearly one third switched back to the originator following the commencement of biosimilar incurring a financial and resource burden to the rheumatology department which in turn will have wider ramifications on the health care system. Exploring the reasons and factors associated with switching back to the originator in larger scale studies would help in planning cost-effective interventions and understanding the reasons why the patients revert back to the originator from the biosimilar therapy, especially among the older patients.References:[1]Villamañan BE, Jiménez NI, Moreno RF, et al.

Background:Clinical trial and real-world evidence have both firmly established efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab, both as monotherapy or in combination with a conventional disease modifying antirheumatic drug (cDMARD). However, tocilizumab’s relative efficacy to the new Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor class of therapies is less certain, given the lack of head-to-head trials.Objectives:To evaluate the relative efficacy of: 1) combination tocilizumab plus cDMARD to other TIMs plus a cDMARD in TIM-naïve or mixed (<20% TIM-experienced) adults with moderate to severe RA; 2) tocilizumab monotherapy to other TIM monotherapies in TIM-naïve or mixed adults with moderate to severe RA. Efficacy was defined as achievement of an ACR20 response or better at 24 weeks.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected from a recent systematic literature review conducted by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), as well as from a trial for upadacitinib (SELECT-COMPARE,NCT02629159), which was not included in the ICER 2017 report. Treatments included JAK inhibitors (upadacitinib, baricitinib, and tofacitinib), tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors (TNFi; adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept, golimumab, and infliximab), and other non-TNFis (rituximab, sarilumab, tocilizumab, and abatacept). A Bayesian NMA was performed in OpenBUGS and R to evaluate comparative efficacy using a random effects model for combination therapy and fixed effects model for monotherapy. Model selection was based on deviance information criterion. Forest plots of relative risks (RR) are presented.Results:In combination therapy analysis, a total of 35 studies were included with a pooled study population of 17,508 patients. Study populations were predominantly female (mean 79%, range 39-95%), and had a baseline mean age of 52 years (range 47-58), mean disease duration of 8 years (range 2-12), and mean DAS28 score of 6 (range 5-7). When compared to cDMARD, all TIMs were 1.69 to 2.22 times more likely to achieve an ACR20 response or better at 24 Weeks (statistically significant) (Figure 1). In pair-wise comparison, tocilizumab IV and SC did not differ from all other TIMs, including JAK inhibitors (no statistically significant difference).In monotherapy analysis, a total of 5 studies were included with a pooled study population of 1,189 patients. Study populations were predominantly female (mean 82%, range 75-90%), had a baseline mean age of 53 years (range 51-54), mean disease duration of 6 years (range 2-9), and mean DAS28 score of 6 (range 5-7). When compared to cDMARD, all TIMs were 1.65 to 1.84 times more likely to achieve ACR20 response or better (statistically significant) (Figure 2). In pair-wise comparison, tocilizumab IV was associated with a greater likelihood of achieving an ACR20 response or better compared to adalimumab (RR=1.10, 95% credible interval (Crl) = 1.03,1.29).Conclusion:Results of this NMA demonstrate similar efficacy (ACR20 at week 24) between tocilizumab (IV and SC) and other TIMs, including new JAK inhibitors, when used in combination with a cDMARD among TIM-naïve/mixed patient populations. Tocilizumab IV monotherapy had more favorable efficacy than adalimumab monotherapy. Patients unable to tolerate cDMARDs may experience additional value from tocilizumab compared to adalimumab.Acknowledgments:This study was sponsored and funded by Genentech, Inc.Disclosure of Interests:Joseph Dang Shareholder of: Genentech, Inc., Employee of: Genentech, Inc., Jennifer Uyei: None declared, Yilin Jiang: None declared, Rajpal Singh: None declared, Pinar Bilir: None declared, Andreas Karabis: None declared, Julie Munakata: None declared, Margaret Michalska Shareholder of: Genentech, Inc., Employee of: Genentech, Inc., Jennie H.

Abstract
Background:B cell depletion is currently approved or being tested in clinical trials for the treatment of many autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, myositis, systemic sclerosis, and lupus. We previously demonstrated that the heavy chain variable regions (VH) of anti-DNA antibodies contain epitopes that can bind MHC class I molecules.1Vaccination of autoimmune-prone NZB/NZWF1 mice with plasmid DNA vectors carrying minigenes that encode such epitopes induced CD8+cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) that killed anti-DNA antibody-producing B cells, reduced serum anti-DNA antibody levels, retarded the development of nephritis, and improved survival.1Treatment with peptides alone did not induce such CD8+T-cells, as we and others have reported impaired CD8+ regulatory and CTL responses in mice and humans.2,3Here, we asked if we could overcome such impairment using synthetic oligodeoxynuleotides containing unmethylated cytidine-phosphate-guanosine dinucletides (CpG-ODN) that can enhance innate and adaptive immunity.Objectives:To determine if peptides representing MHC class I binding epitopes in the autoantibody VHregions conjugated to CpG-ODN will elicit CD8+CTLs that will ablate autoantibody-producing B cells, reduce serum autoantibody levels, and retard the development of autoimmune disease.Methods:We first sceeened VHregions of anti-dsDNA and other autoantibodies for MHC class I-binding epitopes uisng various bioinformatic approaches, and then verified the binding using cellular binding approaches. We immunized lupus-prone (NZB/NZW F1) mice that develop lupus that mimics human lupus with CpG-ODN or a control ODN, and assessed CTL responses. We then treated these mice with CpG-ODN conjugated to MHC class I-binding VH epitopes. We monitored lupus mice for proteinuria, serum anti-dsDNA antibodies, and survival.Results:Immunization with CpG-ODN corrected the impairment in peptide-specific CTL responses in lupus-prone mice. The CpG-ODN conjugated with MHC class I-binding, anti-dsDNA antibody VH-derived epitopes induced potent peptide-specific CTL responses against autoreactive B cells that expressed the respectie epitopes, and against B cells from diseased lupus-prone mice. The animals treated with CpG-ODN-peotde conjugates had reduced serum anti-DNA antibody levels and proteinuria, significantly delayed development of nephritis, and improved survival as compared to animals injected with a control ODN.Conclusion:Seletive ablation of autoreactive B cells by CTLs induced by peptide vaccines conjugated to CpG-ODN represents a novel approach to treat autoantibody-mediated diseases.References:[1]Fan G and Singh RR.J Exp Med2002;196:731-741.[2]Singh RR.Curr Opin Rheumatol2000;12:399-406.[3]Singh RR.Mol Immunol2004;40:1137-1145.Disclosure of Interests: :None declared

Abstract
Background:With a ‘treat to target’ approach in RA, guidelines recommend tailored monitoring of disease activity using validated composite instruments, such as the disease activity score (DAS) 28. While response assessment at 24 weeks is the standard in clinical trials, assessment as early as 12 weeks is recommended. There is limited evidence assessing the relative efficacy of TIMs following a ‘treat to target’ strategy.Objectives:To evaluate the relative efficacy of intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab plus a conventional disease modifying antirheumatic drug (cDMARD) to other TIMs plus a cDMARD in TIM-naïve or mixed (<20% TIM-experienced) adults with moderate to severe RA. Efficacy was defined as achieving remission according to a DAS28 score <2.6 at 12 and 24 weeks.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected from a recent systematic literature review conducted by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), as well as from trials for upadacitinib (SELECT-NEXT, SELECT-COMPARE), which were not included in the ICER 2017 report. RCTs that compared TIMs to each other or placebo were included. Treatments included Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors (upadacitinib, baricitinib, and tofacitinib), tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors (TNFi; adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab, and infliximab), and other non-TNFis (rituximab, sarilumab, tocilizumab, and abatacept). A Bayesian NMA was performed in OpenBUGS and R using a fixed effects model. Model selection was based on deviance information criterion. Forest plots of odds ratios (OR) are presented.Results:In the 12-week analysis, 15 trials were included with a pooled study population of 9,154 patients. Populations were similar across trials and predominantly female (mean 78%, range 39-87%), with a baseline mean age of 52 years (range 47-56), mean disease duration of 8 years (range 2-11), and mean DAS28 score of 6 (range 5-7). In the 12-week analysis, compared to cDMARD, all TIMs were more likely to achieve remission (statistically significant), but tocilizumab IV showed a substantially greater magnitude of effect (OR=19.3, 95% Crl=10.99, 37.22) which was consistent with raw trial results (Figure 1). In pair-wise comparison, tocilizumab IV was associated with a greater likelihood of achieving remission compared to abatacept IV (OR=7.47, Crl=2.53, 20.89), abatacept SC (OR=4.29, Crl=1.96, 9.94), baricitinib (OR=3.39, Crl=1.74, 7.09), adalimumab (OR=5.10, Crl=2.68,10.42), tofacitinib (OR=5.44, Crl=1.26, 20.57), upadacitinib 15mg (OR=3.23, Crl=1.72, 6.54), and upadacitinib 30mg (OR=4.05, Crl=1.97, 8.85).In the 24-week analysis, 21 trials were included in the analysis with a pooled study population of 12,180 patients. Patient characteristics were the same as the 12 week analysis. Compared to cDMARD, all TIMs were more likely to achieve remission (statistically significant), with tocilizumab IV and SC showing a greater magnitude of effect (OR=12.08, Crl=8.09-18.30 and OR=11.98, Crl=5.17-35.86, respectively) (Figure 2). In pair-wise comparison, tocilizumab IV and SC were associated with a greater likelihood of achieving remission compared to abatacept IV, adalimumab, baricitinib, infliximab, upadacitinib 15 mg, and sarilumab.Conclusion:Results of this NMA demonstrate that tocilizumab is associated with a greater likelihood of remission (DAS28 <2.6) at 12 and 24 weeks compared to most other TIMs including new JAK inhibitors, when used in combination with a cDMARD among TIM-naïve/mixed patient populations.Acknowledgments:This study was sponsored and funded by Genentech, Inc.Disclosure of Interests:Jennie H.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Globally, preterm birth has replaced congenital malformation as the major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. The reduced rate of congenital malformation was not achieved through a single biophysical or biochemical marker at a specific gestational age, but rather through a combination of clinical, biophysical and biochemical markers at different gestational ages. Since the aetiology of spontaneous preterm birth is also multifactorial, it is unlikely that a single biomarker test, at a specific gestational age will emerge as the definitive predictive test. METHODS The Biomarkers Group of PREBIC, comprising clinicians, basic scientists and other experts in the field, with a particular interest in preterm birth have produced this commentary with short, medium and long-term aims: i) to alert clinicians to the advances that are being made in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth; ii) to encourage clinicians and scientists to continue their efforts in this field, and not to be disheartened or nihilistic because of a perceived lack of progress and iii) to enable development of novel interventions that can reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with preterm birth. RESULTS Using language that we hope is clear to practising clinicians, we have identified 11 Sections in which there exists the potential, feasibility and capability of technologies for candidate biomarkers in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth and how current limitations to this research might be circumvented. DISCUSSION The combination of biophysical, biochemical, immunological, microbiological, fetal cell, exosomal, or cell free RNA at different gestational ages, integrated as part of a multivariable predictor model may be necessary to advance our attempts to predict sPTL and PTB. This will require systems biological data using "omics" data and artificial intelligence/machine learning to manage the data appropriately. The ultimate goal is to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with preterm birth.
