Abstract
Previous reports by us have determined that developmental exposure to the heavy metal lead (Pb) resulted in cognitive impairment in aging wildtype mice, and a latent induction in biomarkers associated with both the tau and amyloid pathways. However, the relationship between these two pathways and their correlation to cognitive performance needs to be scrutinized. Here, we investigated the impact of developmental Pb (0.2%) exposure on the amyloid and tau pathways in a transgenic mouse model lacking the tau gene. Cognitive function, and levels of intermediates in the amyloid and tau pathways following postnatal Pb exposure were assessed on young adult and mature transgenic mice. No significant difference in behavioral performance, amyloid precursor protein (APP), or amyloid beta (Aβ) levels was observed in transgenic mice exposed to Pb. Regulators of the tau pathway were impacted by the absence of tau, but no additional change was imparted by Pb exposure. These results revealed that developmental Pb exposure does not cause cognitive decline or change the expression of the amyloid pathway in the absence of tau. The essentiality of tau to mediate cognitive decline by environmental perturbations needs further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Horses are reported to return to a variety of disciplines following unilateral enucleation; however, owners of horses with ocular disease are frequently reluctant to consider the procedure. There is little published information investigating owners' attitudes towards, and satisfaction following, enucleation. OBJECTIVES To investigate the hypotheses: 1) horses return to their previous level of work following unilateral enucleation and 2) their owners are satisfied with the post-operative outcome. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series with cross-sectional survey. METHODS Clinical records from eight equine referral centres in the United Kingdom were reviewed to identify horses that underwent enucleation between August 2006 and March 2015. Owner questionnaires were completed to corroborate information provided by medical records and obtain information on client perceptions. RESULTS A total of 170 cases were identified and 119 owner questionnaires completed. The most frequent primary uses of horses in the study were pleasure/leisure riding, showjumping and dressage, with 25.2% (n = 30) of horses used for competition. Following enucleation, 77.3% (n = 92) of horses were performing at an equivalent or higher level than prior to enucleation and 60.0% (n = 18/30) of competition horses were competing at an equivalent or higher level. Complications related to the surgical site (predominantly mild post-operative swelling) were reported in 3.7% of cases and nonocular complications in 3.7% of cases. Of owners who reported being concerned or very concerned about certain factors prior to surgery, ≥86.8% reported that these factors caused little or no issue post-surgery. Most owners, 90.8% (n = 108) were pleased with the outcome following surgery, with 21.3% (n = 23/108) wishing the procedure had been undertaken sooner. MAIN LIMITATIONS Retrospective data collection from clinical records and the potential for recall bias. CONCLUSIONS Horses can return successfully to a variety of disciplines following enucleation. Owners are satisfied with the outcome and pleased that enucleation was performed.

Abstract
AIM To examine the effect of reduction in MTA particle size on dento-alveolar and osseous healing in dogs. METHODOLOGY Root canals of 24 mandibular premolars in four 2-year-old beagles were prepared and filled with gutta-percha and sealer. Two to four weeks later, during periapical surgery, the root-end cavity preparations in these teeth were filled with either grey ProRoot MTA or modified (reduced particle sizes with faster setting time) MTA. The animals were sacrificed 4 months later. Degrees of inflammation, type of inflammatory cells, fibrous connective tissue adjacent to the root-end filling materials, cementum formation over the resected roots and root-end filling materials and bone healing were examined. Data were analysed using the McNemar test. RESULTS No significant differences in healing of periapical tissues were found when comparing ProRoot MTA to a modified MTA containing reduced particle sizes. CONCLUSION Reducing the particle sizes of MTA did not impact its biological properties.

Abstract
BackgroundIn management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), initiating effective treatment as soon as possible within the so-called therapeutic “window of opportunity” is the strategy, and disease remission is a primary goal. Recent work from our group demonstrated that pre-treatment serum type I IFN-β/α activity ratio>1.3 can predict non-response to anti-TNF-alpha therapy in RA patients. The cellular mechanisms that underlie the IFN-β/α activity ratio that predicts response are not known. Effects of IFN on single immune cells and uncommon cell populations may be masked in whole blood or mixed cell populations.MethodsTo better understand the underpinnings of the pre-treatment IFN-β/α activity ratio, we used single cell expression analysis to investigate whether monocyte gene expression differs significantly between RA patients according to their pre-TNF-α inhibitor serum IFN-β/α activity ratio. Single classical (CL) and single non-classical (NCL) blood-derived monocytes were isolated from 15 seropositive RA subjects prior to biologic therapy. Total serum type I IFN, IFN-α, and IFN-β activity were measured using a functional reporter cell assay. Subjects were grouped by pre-TNF-α inhibitor serum IFN-β/α activity ratio into two groups, IFN-β/α>1.3 (n=6) and IFN-β/α<1.3 (n=9). Comparisons between groups were by Mann-Whitney. Hierarchical clustering of 87 target genes was done to determine if there were functional gene expression differences between groups.ResultsHierarchical clustering revealed striking differences of expression of gene sets in CL monocytes between patients with IFN-β/α<1.3 and IFN-β/α>1.3, the groups which correspond to response/non-response to anti-TNF-α agents. This same clustering was not observed in NCL monocytes, and the differentiation between anti-TNF-α response patient groups was lost when hierarchical clustering was done on total monocytes (CL and NCL). Two major gene sets which differentiated subjects with IFN-β/α>1.3 (non-response to anti-TNF-α group) in CL monocytes included TLR and IFN pathway genes, cell surface markers and cytokines as follows: cluster 1 (TLR2, CD16, JAK1, IFI27, IL1A, and MAVS) and cluster 2 (GMCSF, TLR7, STAT2, ILT7, MYD88).ConclusionThese within-cell expression patterns demonstrate biological differences in CL monocytes of RA patients with an IFN-β/α>1.3, the ratio of type I IFNs previously found to be predictive of non-response to anti-TNF-α therapy. Differentiation by gene expression among the response/non-response patient groups is lost when comparing gene expression in single NCL monocytes and single mixed population monocytes (CL and NCL), suggesting that further study of CL monocytes will likely illuminate molecular differences that determine treatment response to TNF-α inhibition in RA. This work will help to develop a more individualized approach to therapy in RA based upon the underlying biology of disease in a given patient.

Abstract
This paper reports on the findings of three qualitative research studies undertaken within, respectively, medium and low secure units in one UK region, and a high secure mental health hospital in England (UK). The first study investigated alliance based involvement practices. The second explored service user and staff views and sense making of the notion of recovery. The third study is ongoing into service user and staff experiences of extreme coercive measures, such as forms of restraint and long-term seclusion or segregation. All studies utilised either semi-structured interviews or focus groups. All data was subject to thematic analysis.Selected and emergent themes include:– the importance of relationships and communication; security first; involvement as pacification;– different understandings of recovery; the importance of meaningful occupation; staff-service user relationships; recovery journeys and dialogue with the past; and recovery as personal responsibility;– good and bad coercion; cooperation, resistance and recalcitrance; and alternatives to coercion.Findings suggest that cooperation is largely framed by services in terms of compliance with a bio-medical model. The impact of the secure environment, whilst ever-present, is not an absolute constraint on the realisation of recovery or involvement objectives. The availability of extreme coercive measures raises some seemingly paradoxical understandings from both service user and staff perspectives. Critical social theory is drawn on to illuminate the tensions between cooperation and recalcitrance and suggest further exploration of their respective legitimacy.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
AIMS To identify the knowledge and management factors associated with glycaemic control among adults with Type 1 diabetes mellitus treated with insulin pump therapy. METHODS A cross-sectional study of adults with Type 1 diabetes mellitus on insulin pump therapy for at least 12 months (n = 50, 18-70 years old) was undertaken between December 2013 and May 2014. A new questionnaire was developed to evaluate participants' knowledge and management related to insulin pump therapy, and were correlated with insulin pump data, HbA1c and frequency of hypoglycaemia. RESULTS Participants who changed their insulin pump settings when indicated had significantly better glycaemic control than those who did not (P = 0.04). Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that better overall insulin pump therapy management was a significant predictor of better glycaemic control (odds ratio 4.45, 95% confidence interval 1.61-12.3; P = 0.004) after adjusting for potential confounders including age, gender, duration of diabetes and insulin pump therapy. However, overall insulin pump therapy knowledge was not a significant predictor of glycaemic control (P = 0.058). There was no significant association between frequency of hypoglycaemia and insulin pump therapy knowledge or management. CONCLUSIONS We identified some key knowledge and management factors associated with glycaemic control in adults with Type 1 diabetes mellitus on insulin pump therapy using a newly designed questionnaire. The pilot study assessed the clinical utility of this evaluation tool, which may facilitate provision of targeted education to insulin pump therapy users to achieve optimal glycaemic control.

Abstract
Training in fundamental laboratory methodologies is valuable to medical students because it enables them to understand the published literature, critically evaluate clinical studies, and make informed decisions regarding patient care. It also prepares them for research opportunities that may complement their medical practice. The National College of Natural Medicine's (NCNM) Master of Science in Integrative Medicine Research (MSiMR) program has developed an Introduction to Laboratory Methods course. The objective of the course it to train clinical students how to perform basic laboratory skills, analyze and manage data, and judiciously assess biomedical studies. Here we describe the course development and implementation as it applies to complementary and integrative medicine students.
