Urinary Markers of Fibrosis and Risk of Cardiovascular Events and Death in Kidney Transplant Recipients: The FAVORIT Trial. Am J Transplant 2017; 17:2640-2649. [PMID: 28371433 PMCID: PMC5620109 DOI: 10.1111/ajt.14284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2016] [Revised: 03/13/2017] [Accepted: 03/18/2017] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Cardiovascular risk remains high in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) despite improved kidney function after transplant. Urinary markers of kidney fibrosis and injury may help to reveal mechanisms of this risk. In a case-cohort study among stable KTRs who participated in the FAVORIT trial, we measured four urinary proteins known to correlate with kidney tubulointerstitial fibrosis on biopsy (urine alpha 1 microglobulin [α1m], monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1], procollagen type I [PINP] and type III [PIIINP] N-terminal amino peptide) and evaluated associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) events (n = 300) and death (n = 371). In adjusted models, higher urine α1m (hazard ratio [HR] per doubling of biomarker 1.40 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21, 1.62]), MCP-1 (HR 1.18 [1.03, 1.36]), and PINP (HR 1.13 [95% CI 1.03, 1.23]) were associated with CVD events. These three markers were also associated with death (HR per doubling α1m 1.51 [95% CI 1.32, 1.72]; MCP-1 1.31 [95% CI 1.13, 1.51]; PINP 1.11 [95% CI 1.03, 1.20]). Higher concentrations of urine α1m, MCP-1, and PINP may identify KTRs at higher risk for CVD events and death. These markers may identify a systemic process of fibrosis involving both the kidney and cardiovascular system, and give new insights into mechanisms linking the kidney with CVD.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: We established the olaparib tablet maximum tolerated dose (MTD) at 150 mg bid, dose limiting toxicities (DLT's) and response to therapy or carboplatin, paclitaxel and olaparib tablet given simultaneously, reported at ASCO 2014. This abstract will include data from both the phase 1b and the phase 2 expansion.
METHODS: A total of 54 subjects were evaluated in this trial, 14 in phase 1b and 40 in phase 2. Eligibility required measurable disease, adequate organ function and ECOG performance status of ~ 2. Subjects had to have failed first line platinum containing chemotherapy. BRCA testing was conducted as available. Subjects received the metronomic therapy of paclitaxel 60mg/m2 IV and carboplatin AUC 2 IV weekly, 3 weeks out of 4, and olaparib tablets at 150 mg bid administered orally for 3 consecutive days (D1-D3) every week for each cycle. Subjects were assessed for toxicity and response according to the protocol. Subjects that reached a confirmed complete remission were transitioned to olaparib tablets only, 300 mg bid until disease progression.
RESULTS: Median age was 58 and median number of prior regimens was 4. There have been no deaths due to the study regimen. One patient had grade 4 neutropenia and an allergic reaction to carboplatin. The common grade 3/4 toxicities were caused by the chemotherapy (neutropenia. anemia and thrombocytopenia). Two patients had mild GI toxicities. One patient had a skin rash. There was no evidence of cardiac, hepatic, or pulmonary toxicities in any of these patients. 25% of subjects had a complete remission (CR), 31% had PR, 23% had SD and 21% had
PD. Of the 13 CRs, 4 were BRCA negative. PFS median for BRCA positive subjects is 12.6 months vs 4.8 months for BRCA negative subjects. OS median for BRCA positive subjects is 24 months vs 16 months for BRCA negative subjects. All of the CR's are alive.
CONCLUSION: Olaparib tablet can be safely administered simultaneously with a weekly regimen of carboplatin and paclitaxel in heavily pretreated ovarian cancer patients. Olaparib appears to be highly effective in BRCA positive subjects. This is the first successful combination of olaparib tablets with carboplatin and paclitaxel that has been well tolerated.

Abstract
ObjectivesThe objective of this family-based whole exome sequencing (WES) is to examine genetic variants of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Korean population.MethodsThe probands with ASD and their biological parents were recruited in this study. We ascertained diagnosis based on DSM-5™ criteria, using Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and Autism Diagnostic Interview–Revised. We selected probands with typical phenotypes of ASD both in social interaction/communication and repetitive behaviour/limited interest domains, with intellectual disability (IQ < 70), for attaining homogeneity of the phenotypes. First, we performed WES minimum 50× for 13 probands and high-coverage pooled sequencing for their parents. We performed additional WES for 38 trio families, at least 100× depth. De novo mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. All the sequence reads were mapped onto the human reference genome (hg19 without Y chromosome). Bioinformatics analyses were performed by BWA-MEM, Picard, GATK, and snpEff for variant annotation. We selected de novo mutation candidates from probands, which are neither detected in two pooled samples nor both parents.ResultsFifty-one subjects with ASD (5 females, 40∼175 months, mean IQ 42) and their families were included in this study. We discovered 109 de novo variants from 46 families. Twenty-nine variants are expected to be amino acid changing, potentially causing deleterious effects. We assume CELSR3, MYH1, ATXN1, IDUA, NFKB1, and C4A/C4B may have adverse effect on central nerve system.ConclusionsWe observed novel de novo variants which are assumed to contribute to development of ASD with typical phenotypes and low intelligence in WES study.Disclosure of interestThis work has been supported by Healthcare Technology R&D project (No: A120029) by Ministry of Health and Welfare, Republic of Korea.

Abstract
In the past 10 years, "designer drugs" such as synthetic cannabinoids and cathinones have emerged and come into widespread use, resulting in more overdose cases involving these new drugs in the United States. Emergency departments regularly treat a diverse array of drug intoxications, and providers must be cognizant of novel drugs of abuse and the associated clinical presentations in order to provide the most appropriate care. This review aims to describe the epidemiology, mechanism of action, clinical presentation, and treatment of intoxication for both the common and newest drugs of abuse.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) affect an unknown proportion of the general population, and are an important public health problem due to their potential to cause life-threatening anaphylaxis and rare severe cutaneous allergic reactions. DHR evaluations are frequently needed in both ambulatory and hospital settings and have a complex diagnosis that requires a detailed clinical history and other tests that may include in vitro tests and in vivo procedures such as skin tests and drug provocation tests. Although over the years both European and U.S. experts have published statements on general procedures for evaluating DHRs, a substantial discordance in their daily management exists. In this review, we highlight both the differences and the similarities between the European and U.S. perspectives. While a general consensus exists on the importance of skin tests for evaluating DHRs, concordance between Americans and Europeans exists solely regarding their use in immediate reactions and the fact that a confirmation of a presumptive diagnosis by drug provocation tests is often the only reliable way to establish a diagnosis. Finally, great heterogeneity exists in the application of in vitro tests, which require further study to be well validated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is associated with aging, nutrition, alcohol abuse and more, and it is known as a survival predictor in chronically ill patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between MCV levels and mortality from all-causes, cancer and site-specific cancer in a non-anemic healthy population. METHODS A total of 36,260 participants aged 40 years or older who underwent routine check-ups at Seoul National University Hospital Health Promotion Center between 1995 and 2008 were followed-up for mortality until December 31, 2008, retrospectively. RESULTS During an average follow-up of 8.0 years, 1107 deaths including 547 cancer deaths were observed. The adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) of the subjects with the highest quartile of MCV ≥95.8 fL in men and MCV ≥94.2 fL in women for all-cause and cancer mortality were 1.44 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.15-1.80] and 1.51 (95% CI, 1.10-2.07) for men and 1.55 (95% CI, 1.08-2.22) and 1.25 (95% CI, 0.74-2.11) for women, respectively, compared with those in the reference group (90.5 fL≤MC <93.0 fL in men and 89.2 fL≤MCV<91.6 fL in women). Elevated MCV level was related to an increased risk of liver cancer mortality in men (aHR, 3.55; 95% CI, 1.75-7.21). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the elevated MCV level in non-anemic cancer-free individuals was associated with increased all-cause mortality in both men and women, and with cancer mortality, in particular liver cancer mortality in men. Future prospective studies are required to consolidate our findings.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), defined as tumors lacking expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), are especially difficult to treat effectively. While ER+ and HER2+ breast cancer subtypes can be treated with Tamoxifen and Herceptin, respectively, there are no targeted therapies for TNBC patients. Furthermore, while only 20-30% of TNBC patients respond to chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting, overall outcome remains poor for non-responding patients. However, mounting evidence suggests that immune-checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies may be especially promising for TNBC patients. We and others have shown that the presence of CD8+ T cells, a crucial component of the cytotoxic arm of the adaptive immune response, is a sign of good clinical outcome in TNBC patients. However, good outcome only correlates with CD8 +T cell invasion of the tumor parenchyma. Some patients had an accumulation of CD8+ T cells in the surrounding tumor-associated stroma, but not the tumor epithelia, and these patients responded as poorly as patients with no CD8 T cells at all. Yet how cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the dominant cell type of the tumor-associated stroma, affects CD8+ T cell invasion into the tumor epithelia is still poorly understood. To identify potential stroma-dependent mechanisms which potentiate or inhibit CD8+ T cells invasion into the tumor epithelia, we performed gene expression profiling of laser-capture microdissected tumor-associated stroma (and matched epithelia) from 38 TNBC cases. Here we identify several stromal and epithelial canonical pathways as well as biomarkers that are associated with and may explain the accumulation of CD8 T cells outside of the tumor epithelia.

Abstract
Background: Inter- and intra-tumour heterogeneity underlies variability in therapeutic response. Although targeting of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in breast cancer has failed to demonstrate clinical efficacy at the population level, complete and durable responses have been reported at low frequencies. The molecular determinants of these responses are unknown, but are of importance in the era of precision medicine.
Results: We performed a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) clinical trial with gefitinib in a breast cancer PDX cohort. Consistent with clinical trial data, gefitinib exhibited limited efficacy across most models. One PDX, however, demonstrated a complete and durable (>6 months) clinical response, and was subject to deep molecular profiling to identify determinants of response. Exome sequencing revealed no single nucleotide variants or copy number alterations in EGFR pathway members. EGFR was differentially expressed between the two major cellular subpopulations identified by single-cell RNAseq and this cellular heterogeneity in EGFR expression was validated immunohistochemically. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting of the EGFRhi subpopulation revealed cells with enhanced stem-like properties, including ALDH activity, sphere-forming capacity in vitro, ability to form tumours in vivo and seeding lung micrometastases from orthotopically transplanted tumours. Tumourspheres derived from EGFRhi cells developed into mixed EGFRhi and EGFRlo subpopulations, as did macrometastases, supporting that EGFRhi subpopulation can self-renew and re-populate. Analysis of expressed SNVs in the single-cell RNAseq data, filtered by variants identified from exome sequencing, showed no clonal segregation, supporting a non-clonal origin of the functionally distinct EGFRhi and EGFRlo subpopulations. This EGFR-driven tumour initiating cell program was observed in independent PDX models, some which showed growth inhibition in response to gefitinib.
Conclusions: Using bulk and single-cell genomic profiling, we identified and functionally validated an EGFR-driven tumour-initiating program in a subset of aggressive breast tumours, which may be predictive of gefitinib sensitivity. This contradicts traditional beliefs that good therapeutic targets are homogenously expressed, in that we show that a target displaying intra-tumour heterogeneity can be effective so long that it is expressed in the tumour-initiating population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The number of patients worldwide with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who participate in therapeutic clinical trials has remained so far low. One of the reasons is a lack of opportunity, whereas another is fear of health care providers and patients of poor outcome of the use of new drugs. We therefore investigated whether survival in patients with MBC who participated in first-line therapeutic clinical trials is worse than that in patients who received only standard care and never enrolled in a clinical trial. We hypothesized that first-line therapeutic clinical trials do not negatively affect survival outcome. Methods: We reviewed the records of 5501 patients with MBC treated at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center from January 2000 to December 2010. We extracted a first cohort of 285 patients enrolled in a therapeutic clinical trial for the first time for first-line systemic MBC treatment. The second cohort, referred to as the eligible control population, consisted of 367 patients without comorbidities who did not participate in a clinical trial at any stage of their disease; these patients lived in Harris County, in which MD Anderson is located, and thus could be potentially eligible for MD Anderson's financial assistance program. To limit confounding factors, we excluded male patients and patients with known brain metastasis from both cohorts. Results: The median follow-up duration in our cohort was 7.16 years (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.53-7.64 years). We observed discrepancies in race (minorities were less represented in the clinical trial arm), estrogen receptor (ER) status (more ER-positive than ER-negative patients participated in clinical trials), and metastatic disease site (fewer patients with bone metastasis participated in clinical trials) between the two groups. Overall, we observed no significant differences in progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) duration between the treatment arms. Specifically, in the clinical trial cohort, the median PFS duration was 7.00 months (95% CI, 5.72-8.71 months), and the median OS duration was 28.48 months (95% CI, 22.70-34.60 months). In the control cohort, the median PFS duration was 10.02 months (95% CI, 7.13-11.99 months), and the median OS duration was 28.71 months (95% CI, 24.41-31.31 months) (P = .089 and .335, respectively). Conclusion: In MBC patients, enrolling in first-line therapeutic clinical trials does not result in worse survival than does never enrolling in a clinical trial. This study should reassure health care providers in demonstrating that enrollment in a clinical trial does not negatively affect survival in MBC patients.

Abstract
A measurement of the top quark pair production ([Formula: see text]) cross section in proton-proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energy of 8[Formula: see text] is presented using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6[Formula: see text]. This analysis is performed in the [Formula: see text] decay channels with one isolated, high transverse momentum electron or muon and at least four jets, at least one of which is required to be identified as originating from hadronization of a b quark. The calibration of the jet energy scale and the efficiency of b jet identification are determined from data. The measured [Formula: see text] cross section is [Formula: see text]. This measurement is compared with an analysis of 7[Formula: see text] data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0[Formula: see text], to determine the ratio of 8[Formula: see text] to 7[Formula: see text] cross sections, which is found to be [Formula: see text]. The measurements are in agreement with QCD predictions up to next-to-next-to-leading order.

Abstract
An automated microfluidic sample preparation multiplexer (SPM) has been developed and evaluated for Ebola virus detection. Metered air bubbles controlled by microvalves are used to improve bead-solution mixing thereby enhancing the hybridization of the target Ebola virus RNA with capture probes bound to the beads. The method uses thermally stable 4-formyl benzamide functionalized (4FB) magnetic beads rather than streptavidin coated beads with a high density of capture probes to improve the target capture efficiency. Exploiting an on-chip concentration protocol in the SPM and the single molecule detection capability of the antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) biosensor chip, a detection limit of 0.021pfu/mL for clinical samples is achieved without target amplification. This RNA target capture efficiency is two orders of magnitude higher than previous results using streptavidin beads and the limit of detection (LOD) improves 10×. The wide dynamic range of this technique covers the whole clinically applicable concentration range. In addition, the current sample preparation time is ~1h which is eight times faster than previous work. This multiplexed, miniaturized sample preparation microdevice establishes a key technology that intended to develop next generation point-of-care (POC) detection system.

Extracellular vesicles of the blood-brain barrier: Role in the HIV-1 associated amyloid beta pathology. Mol Cell Neurosci 2016; 79:12-22.

Abstract
HIV-infected brains are characterized by increased amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition. It is believed that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is critical for Aβ homeostasis and contributes to Aβ accumulation in the brain. Extracellular vesicles (ECV), like exosomes, recently gained a lot of attention as potentially playing a significant role in Aβ pathology. In addition, HIV-1 hijacks the exosomal pathway for budding and release. Therefore, we investigated the involvement of BBB-derived ECV in the HIV-1-induced Aβ pathology in the brain. Our results indicate that HIV-1 increases ECV release from brain endothelial cells as well as elevates their Aβ cargo when compared to controls. Interestingly, brain endothelial cell-derived ECV transferred Aβ to astrocytes and pericytes. Infusion of brain endothelial ECV carrying fluorescent Aβ into the internal carotid artery of mice resulted in Aβ fluorescence associated with brain microvessels and in the brain parenchyma. These results suggest that ECV carrying Aβ can be successfully transferred across the BBB into the brain. Based on these observations, we conclude that HIV-1 facilitates the shedding of brain endothelial ECV carrying Aβ; a process that may increase Aβ exposure of cells of neurovascular unit, and contribute to amyloid deposition in HIV-infected brain.

Abstract
Results are reported from a search for the pair production of top squarks, the supersymmetric partners of top quarks, in final states with jets and missing transverse momentum. The data sample used in this search was collected by the CMS detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.9[Formula: see text] of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8[Formula: see text] produced by the LHC. The search features novel background suppression and prediction methods, including a dedicated top quark pair reconstruction algorithm. The data are found to be in agreement with the predicted backgrounds. Exclusion limits are set in simplified supersymmetry models with the top squark decaying to jets and an undetected neutralino, either through a top quark or through a bottom quark and chargino. Models with the top squark decaying via a top quark are excluded for top squark masses up to 755[Formula: see text] in the case of neutralino masses below 200[Formula: see text]. For decays via a chargino, top squark masses up to 620[Formula: see text] are excluded, depending on the masses of the chargino and neutralino.

Abstract
A measurement of the W boson pair production cross section in proton-proton collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV is presented. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.4[Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] candidates are selected from events with two charged leptons, electrons or muons, and large missing transverse energy. The measured [Formula: see text] cross section is [Formula: see text], consistent with the standard model prediction. The [Formula: see text] cross sections are also measured in two different fiducial phase space regions. The normalized differential cross section is measured as a function of kinematic variables of the final-state charged leptons and compared with several perturbative QCD predictions. Limits on anomalous gauge couplings associated with dimension-six operators are also given in the framework of an effective field theory. The corresponding 95 % confidence level intervals are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], in the HISZ basis.

Abstract
Jet multiplicity distributions in top quark pair ([Formula: see text]) events are measured in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7[Formula: see text]. The measurement is performed in the dilepton decay channels ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]). The absolute and normalized differential cross sections for [Formula: see text] production are measured as a function of the jet multiplicity in the event for different jet transverse momentum thresholds and the kinematic properties of the leading additional jets. The differential [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] cross sections are presented for the first time as a function of the kinematic properties of the leading additional [Formula: see text] jets. Furthermore, the fraction of events without additional jets above a threshold is measured as a function of the transverse momenta of the leading additional jets and the scalar sum of the transverse momenta of all additional jets. The data are compared and found to be consistent with predictions from several perturbative quantum chromodynamics event generators and a next-to-leading order calculation.
