Abstract
SETTING In-patient hospitals in South Africa and Uganda. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a lateral-flow urine lipoarabinomannan (LAM) test when added to existing strategies for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in human immunodeficiency virus infected adults (CD4(+) T-cell counts < 100 cells/l) with symptoms of active TB. DESIGN Decision-analytic cost-utility model, with the primary outcome being the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, expressed in 2010 US dollars per disability-adjusted life year (DALY) averted from the perspective of a public sector TB control program. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION For every 1000 patients tested, adding lateral-flow urine LAM generated 80 incremental appropriate anti-tuberculosis treatments and averted 224 DALYs. Estimated cost utility was US$353 per DALY averted (95% uncertainty range $192$1161) in South Africa and $86 per DALY averted (95% uncertainty range $49$239) in Uganda, reflecting the lower treatment costs in Uganda. Cost utility was most sensitive to assay specificity, cost of anti-tuberculosis treatment, life expectancy after TB cure and cohort TB prevalence, but did not rise above $1500 per DALY averted in South Africa under any one-way sensitivity analysis. The probability of acceptability was >99.8% at a per-DALY willingness-to-pay threshold equal to the per capita gross domestic product in South Africa ($7275) and Uganda ($509).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, a number of non-HLA (human leucocyte antigen) psoriasis genetic susceptibility loci have been identified through genome-wide association studies, but data on their association with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are lacking. OBJECTIVES To investigate recently identified psoriasis susceptibility loci in a cohort of Chinese patients with PsA, psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) and healthy controls. METHODS Twenty single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 20 loci were selected for genotyping in 379 patients with PsA, 595 patients with PsV and 1181 healthy controls using the MassARRAY platform (Sequenom, San Diego, CA, U.S.A.). Data handling, quality control and association were performed using PLINK software, v. 1.07. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to test the genotype-phenotype association. RESULTS PsA showed a significant association with markers at TNIP1 (rs17728338, P = 2.20 × 10(-8)), IL28RA (rs4649203, P = 5.04 × 10(-6)), IL12B (rs2082412, P = 3.82 × 10(-5)), ERAP1 (rs27524, P = 1.25 × 10(-3)), PTTG1 (rs2431697, P = 1.22 × 10(-3)) and GJB2 (rs3751385, P = 1.48 × 10(-3)) when compared with the control group. In PsV a significant association was found for IL28RA (rs4649203, P = 9.53 × 10(-7)), TNIP1 (rs17728338, P = 1.21 × 10(-4)) and ERAP1 (rs27524, P = 1.17 × 10(-3)). The allele frequencies were not statistically different between PsA and PsV except for SNPs at IL12B and ZNF816A with a nominal P-value of 0.04 and 0·01, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence for the involvement of ERAP1, IL28RA, GJB2 and PTTG1 loci in PsA susceptibility and confirmed the previously reported association with PsA and PsV. These results support the hypothesis that genetic aetiology of psoriasis is the same in both PsA and PsV and also support the higher genetic component of PsA than PsV.

Abstract
The androgen receptor (AR) stimulates and represses gene expression to promote the initiation and progression of prostate cancer. Here, we report that androgen represses the miR-99a/let7c/125b-2 cluster through AR and anti-androgen drugs block the androgen-repression of the miRNA cluster. AR directly binds to the host gene of the miR-99a/let7c/125b-2 cluster, LINC00478. Expression of the cluster is repressed or activated by chromatin remodelers EZH2 or JMJD3 in the presence or absence of androgen, respectively. Bioinformatics analysis reveals a significant enrichment of targets of miR-99a, let-7c and miR-125b in androgen-induced gene sets, suggesting that downregulation of the miR-99a/let7c/125b-2 cluster by androgen protects many of their target mRNAs from degradation and indirectly assists in the gene induction. We validated the hypothesis with 12 potential targets of the miR-99a/let7c/125b-2 cluster induced by androgen: 9 out of the 12 mRNAs are downregulated by the microRNA cluster. To ascertain the biological significance of this hypothesis, we focused on IGF1R, a known prostate cancer growth factor that is induced by androgen and directly targeted by the miR-99a/let7c/125b-2 cluster. The androgen-induced cell proliferation is ameliorated to a similar extent as anti-androgen drugs by preventing the repression of the microRNAs or induction of IGF1R in androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells. Expression of a microRNA-resistant form of IGF1R protects these cells from inhibition by the miR-99a/let7c/125b-2 cluster. These results indicate that a thorough understanding of how androgen stimulates prostate cancer growth requires not only an understanding of genes directly induced/repressed by AR, but also of genes indirectly induced by AR through the repression of key microRNAs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We attempted to evaluate maternal thyroid function in a new self-sequential longitudinal reference interval (SLRI) which we established recently. By this method, we analysed the correlation between pregnancy outcome, neonatal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level and maternal thyroid diseases. METHODS A total of 1744 pregnant women participated in the study and 1747 babies were born from those women (three bore twins). The levels of TSH, free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) of mothers were quantified by electrochemistry immunoassay (ECL). The levels of neonatal blood TSH were detected by time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA). All data were collected and statistically analysed by SPSS 13.0 software. RESULTS With our new SLRI method, we found that 0.11%-3.84% pregnant women would get thyroid diseases. Subclinical hypothyroidism was the most common maternal thyroid disorder. Being positive for thyroid peroxidase antibodies was a significant risk factor of subclinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy. The median, P2.5-P97.5, and interquartile range (IQR) of neonatal TSH (N-TSH) of 1747 babies were 2.72 mIU/L, 0.10-8.01 mIU/L and 2.62 mIU/L, respectively; 28.6% of pregnant women with thyroid diseases developed pregnancy complications. The prevalence was significantly higher than in the normal thyroid function group (p < 0.001). The levels of N-TSH were low correlated with maternal TSH levels (p < 0.05), but there were no significant correlations between N-TSH and maternal FT4 and maternal TPO-Ab (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Thyroid disorders, especially subclinical hypothyroidism, are common in pregnant women. These disorders are associated with pregnancy and fetal outcome. Routine maternal thyroid function screening is important and should be recommended.

Abstract
ZnAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were prepared by urea hydrolysis-based coprecipitation for removing phosphate from aqueous solutions. The chemical formula of the product was determined as Zn5.54Al3.02(OH)8.73(CO3)0.57Cl5.66·7.84H2O. Chloride ion was the major interlayer anion of the ZnAl LDHs. Adsorption of phosphate onto the ZnAl sorbent over the entire study period was not in close agreement with pseudo-first-order or pseudo-second-order models. The adsorption can be divided into two steps. A fast adsorption was observed during the first 10 h with a marked increase in the concentration of Cl(-) in the bulk solution. This indicated that the adsorption of phosphate was largely attributed to the ion exchange between phosphate and the interlayer Cl(-). A second fast adsorption of phosphate occurred after 10 h. During this period, the pH increased slowly, whereas the Cl(-) concentration was stable. The uptake of phosphate was likely attributed to OH(-)-H2PO4(-)/HPO4(2-) ion exchange as well as surface adsorption/complexation. Acidic conditions favored adsorption of phosphate by ZnAl LDHs, which is consistent with the pH increases during the adsorption. Coexisting anions, e.g., SO4(2-) and CO3(2-), are competitive ions for the adsorption of phosphate. The results verify the contribution of ion exchange and surface adsorption/complexation in the removal of phosphate by ZnAl LDHs.

Abstract
The immune system has been reported to suppress the development and progression of neoplastic lesions; however, the exact mechanisms by which neoplastic lesions and the immune system interact are not well understood. Within the last decade, tiny membrane bound particles, approximately 30-100 nm in diameter, have been observed in the blood and other body fluids. These particles, currently called exosomes, are released from many types of tissues including tumors, and they contain and carry many proteins, and mRNAs and microRNA species. We review here how tumors suppress the immune system, especially by the formation of exosomes. Exosomes released from tumors are carried in part by the vascular system to distant cells, which phagocytose them. Depending on the proteins, mRNAs or microRNAs in the exosomes and the cell type, phagocytosis of exosomes may provide a modulating signal to the cell. In the case of exosomes from tumors, uptake of the exosomes by cells of the immune system has been reported to have three main effects: 1) suppression of the number and activity of natural killer cells, 2) suppression of the activity of T cells and 3) suppression of the number and maturation of mature dendritic cells.

Abstract
Avian leukosis virus (ALV) subgroup E (ALVE) is an endogenous retrovirus in the chicken genome. The chickens carrying ALVE locus 3 (ALVE3), 6 (ALVE6), 9 (ALVE9), and 21 (ALVE21) have been proved to be susceptible to ALV. Tumor virus locus B (TVB) encodes the cellular receptor for ALV subgroups B, D, and E. The insertions of the 4 ALVE loci and the genotypes of TVB have not been demonstrated in Chinese indigenous chicken breeds. In the present study, the existence of ALVE3, ALVE6, ALVE9, and ALVE21 were detected in 10 native breeds of Chinese chickens and an introduced breed, the White Leghorn (2 populations in this study, WL1 and WL2), by locus-specific PCR. The PCR products of ALVE were further confirmed by sequencing assay. We also surveyed the status of genotypes of TVB in Silkie, Beijing You, and White Leghorn (WL1 and WL2) chickens with pyrosequencing assays. The results showed that the carrier frequency of ALVE3 was 1.3% in the Chinese chicken population, and was 10.3 in WL1 and 49.2% in WL2. The carrier frequency of ALVE6 was 5.4% in native breeds of Chinese birds, in contrast with 0% in WL1 and 6.8% in WL2. The carrier frequency of ALVE9 was 0.1% in the Chinese indigenous population, and was 16.0% in WL1 and 11.9% in WL2. The carrier frequency of ALVE21 was 10.4% in Chinese chickens, whereas ALVE21 was detected with a frequency of 0% in WL1 and 50% in WL2. The frequency of the TVB resistance allele (TVB*R and TVB*R') was 0.4% in Beijing You chickens, whereas it was 70.5% in WL1 and 54.5% in WL2. No carriers of ALVE3, ALVE9, and ALVE21 were detected in Silkie fowl, a famous Chinese native breed that has been used as a source for alternative medicine. These results present molecular evidence of ALVE3, ALVE6, ALVE9, and ALVE21 insertions and TVB genotypes in Chinese indigenous chickens and could provide potential molecular insights into anti-ALV breeding in chickens.

Abstract
In this article, we propose a model selection method, the Bayesian composite model space approach, to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a half-sib population for continuous and binary traits. In our method, the identity-by-descent-based variance component model is used. To demonstrate the performance of this model, the method was applied to map QTL underlying production traits on BTA6 in a Chinese half-sib dairy cattle population. A total of four QTLs were detected, whereas only one QTL was identified using the traditional least square (LS) method. We also conducted two simulation experiments to validate the efficiency of our method. The results suggest that the proposed method based on a multiple-QTL model is efficient in mapping multiple QTL for an outbred half-sib population and is more powerful than the LS method based on a single-QTL model.

Abstract
187 Background: The development of noninvasive screening tests is important to reduce mortality from gastrointestinal neoplasia, especially given that there is no noninvasive screening test for pancreatic cancer. We sought to develop such a test by analysis of DNA methylation from exfoliated cancer cells in feces. Methods: We had reported a novel strategy that uses single-step modification of DNA with sodium bisulfite and fluorescence polymerase chain reaction methodology to measure aberrant methylation in fecal DNA. We increased number of biomarkers from 4 to 8 that were analyzed in 144 fecal samples obtained from a variety of patients, including colorectal tumors, hepatic tumors, and pancreatic tumors. Results: The assay successfully identified one or more methylated markers in fecal DNA from patients with colorectal cancer, polyps, hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic colorectal cancer at liver, and pancreatic cancer. Conclusions: Methylation of 8 biomarkers in fecal DNA is associated with the presence of gastroenterological tumors relative to non-neoplastic conditions. Our fecal DNA methylation assay provides a possible means to noninvasively screen not only for colorectal tumors but also for pancreatic tumors. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
AIM Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is widely acknowledged to increase the risk of cardiovascular death, which warrants the use of aggressive primary prevention strategies. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pretreatment effects of tanshinone IIA (TSN), a traditional Chinese medicine, on myocardial infarct size, apoptosis, inflammation and cardiac functional recovery in diabetic rats subjected to myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R). METHODS Streptozocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats (n = 80) were randomized to receive TSN, TSN plus wortmannin [a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor] or saline. They were exposed to a 30-min ischaemia by ligation of the left coronary artery except for the sham group. Haemodynamics, infarct size and myocardial apoptosis were examined 3 h after reperfusion. The effects of TSN on Akt and NF-kappaB phosphorylation and the expression of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cardiac tissues were examined. RESULTS Our results revealed that TSN administration significantly reduced myocardial infarct size (0.252 +/- 0.038 vs. 0.327 +/- 0.027, p < 0.05), improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (0.774 +/- 0.058 vs. 0.716 +/- 0.054, p < 0.05), decreased myocardial apoptotic death (0.114 +/- 0.026 vs. 0.191 +/- 0.023, p < 0.05) compared with I/R group. Western blot analysis showed that TSN treatment enhanced Akt phosphorylation and inhibited NF-kappaB phosphorylation in cardiac tissues. Moreover, pretreatment with wortmannin abolished the beneficial effects of TSN: a reduction of infarct size, a decrease in LVEF, inhibition of myocardial apoptosis and Akt phosphorylation, enhancement of NF-kappaB phosphorylation and an increase of cytokine production including TNF-alpha and IL-6 after I/R injury in diabetic rats. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that TSN pretreatment reduces infarct size and improves cardiac dysfunction after I/R injury in diabetic rats. This was accompanied with decreased cardiac apoptosis and inflammation. The possible mechanism responsible for the effects of TSN is associated with the PI3K/Akt-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Lake water eutrophication has become one of the most important factors impeding sustainable economic development in China. Knowledge of the current status of lake water eutrophication and determination of its mechanism are prerequisites to devising a sound solution to the problem. Based on reviewing the literature, this paper elaborates on the evolutional process and current state of shallow inland lake water eutrophication in China. The mechanism of lake water eutrophication is explored from nutrient sources. In light of the identified mechanism strategies are proposed to control and tackle lake water eutrophication. This review reveals that water eutrophication in most lakes was initiated in the 1980s when the national economy underwent rapid development. At present, the problem of water eutrophication is still serious, with frequent occurrence of damaging algal blooms, which have disrupted the normal supply of drinking water in shore cities. Each destructive bloom caused a direct economic loss valued at billions of yuan. Nonpoint pollution sources, namely, waste discharge from agricultural fields and nutrients released from floor deposits, are identified as the two major sources of nitrogen and phosphorus. Therefore, all control and rehabilitation measures of lake water eutrophication should target these nutrient sources. Biological measures are recommended to rehabilitate eutrophied lake waters and restore the lake ecosystem in order to bring the problem under control.

Abstract
The wing motions of a male and a female fire ant alate, which beat their wings at 108 and 96 Hz, respectively, were captured with a stereo imaging system at a high frame rate of 8,000 frames per second. By processing the high-speed image frames, the three-dimensional wingtip positions and the wing surface orientation angles were determined with a high phase resolution, i.e. 74 and 83 phases per period for the male and the female, respectively. A numerical reconstruction of the stereo wingbeat images demonstrated that the data collected described almost all the details of the wing surface motion, so that further computational fluid dynamic simulations are possible for fire ant alate flight.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction:Identifying and using gene expression signatures to predict potentially invasive breast cancer cells on the basis of the same has been performed with limited success by a number of different groups. Genes are identified on the basis of their expression with little or no relation to their functional significance in metastasis. We have taken two very different approaches to this problem. First in two rodent models we have identified three molecular pathways based on cellular functions that are altered in the invasive cells and grouped the genes on that basis. Secondly, we followed and separated the metastatic cells through different stages of metastasis viz, invasion, intravasation and distant metastasis formation. Genes altered in these populations are grouped into stably and transiently altered as the cells progress through metastasis.Materials and Methods:Rodent models: Two different rodent models were used in this study. The first model is MTLn3-derived mammary tumors in rats. The second model is MMTV-PyMT transgenic mouse breast tumor model.Isolation of Invasive cells: In vivo invasion assay was used to study the gene expression pattern of invasive subpopulation of carcinoma cells within live primary tumors. In brief, the invasive cells were collected from breast tumor using microneedles containing matrigel and epidermal growth factor. Macrophages were removed from this population by using MACS CD11b Microbeads.Isolation of Primary Tumor Cells, circulating tumor cells and lung metastasis: To isolate the average population of carcinoma cells from primary tumor and lungs, a small piece of tumor or a portion of the lung was minced and filtered with 30μm CellTrics nylon filter to obtain single cell suspension. The filtered cells were then washed 3 times with 3%BSA in PBS and resuspended in Accutase. In order to collect the CTCs, blood was collected in heparinized syringes from the right atrium. RBCs were lysed using BD Pharm Lyse lysing buffer. The residual cells were filtered, washed and resuspended. Fluroscent sorting was performed on all these cell types.Statistical Analysis: Patient data comprising of gene expression data from microarray and clinical data was obtained from the Netherlands Cancer Institute database including 295 breast cancer patients. Genes in the invasion signature were related to metastasis free survival by using the Cox proportional hazards model.Results and Discussion: Genes identified by these two methods were shown to be highly predictive of metastatic events when compared to a public database containing both gene expression and patient metastasis free survival data. Genes belonging to the pathway derived invasion signature and the transiently altered genes offer a better way of predicting invasive cancers than the existing gene signatures which are identified only on the basis of expression. We conclude that the metastatic cells are a special population and genes identified from changes in their gene expression pattern when linked to their biology and tumor microenvironment is much more potent in prediction metastasis free survival in patients than genes chosen on the basis of their level of expression alone.

Abstract
Robotic cell microinjection is a technique that utilizes automation technology to insert substances into a single living cell with a fine needle. Compared with manual microinjection, the main benefits of the robotic cell injection are quality, productivity and repeatability. In this paper we aim to control the penetration force during robotic cell injection to quantify the influence of the penetration force on cells. A force-control-based cell injection approach that is capable of regulating the penetration force in a desired force trajectory is developed. The proposed force control framework includes two control loops. The inner loop is an impedance control used to specify the interaction between the needle and the cell. The outer loop is a force tracking non-linear controller using a feedback linearization technique. The cell model is identified online with a least-squares parameter estimator. With the proposed force control approach, the penetration force can be regulated explicitly to follow the desired force trajectory during the cell injection process. Experiments performed on fish embryos verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract
A total of 2169 samples from 21 tribal populations from different regions of India were scanned for the Y-chromosome Alu polymorphism. This study reports, for the first time, high frequencies (8-65%) of Y Alu polymorphic (YAP) insertion in northeast Indian tribes. All seven Jarawa samples from the Andaman and Nicobar islands had the YAP insertion, in conformity with an earlier study of Andaman Islanders. One isolated case with haplotype E* was found in Dungri Bhill, a western Indian population, while YAP insertion in northeast India and Andaman tribes was found in association with haplotype D* (M168, M174). YAP insertion frequencies reported in the mainland Indian populations are negligible, according to previous studies. Genetic drift may be the causative factor for the variable frequency of the YAP insertion in the mainland populations, while the founder effect may have resulted in the highest incidence of haplotype D among the Andaman Islanders. The results of YAP insertion and the evidence of previous mtDNA studies indicate an early out of Africa migration to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The findings of YAP insertion in northeast Indian tribes are very significant for understanding the evolutionary history of the region.

Abstract
We developed and tested an automated sub-minute 3D dual-echo MR imaging technique producing fat-water color-encoded labeled images of the entire spine. Twenty-one subjects were scanned with the 2-point Dixon technique utilizing 2 contiguous 21-22 second breath-hold sagittal acquisitions. Fourteen alternating subject scan sessions were achieved in 58 minutes. In all cases, fat-water separation was homogenous over the 70 cm FOV; in 2 lower stations fat/water assignments were reversed. Rapid automated fat-water decomposition spine screening is a promising technique.

Abstract
1078 Background: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important step in invasiveness and has been shown to correlate with metastatic potential in several cancer cell lines, including breast carcinoma. However, given the heterogeneity of tumors in vivo, EMT has not been a reliable marker of metastatic potential in cancer patients. Mena, a member of the enabled (ena)/vasodilator-stimulated phophoprotein (VASP) family, which controls cell motility, is upregulated in the invasive subpopulation of breast cancer cells. Mena is alternatively spliced to include one of four exons: +, ++, invasive (INV), or 11a. In the presence of MenaINV, tumor cells are able to invade even at epidermal growth factor (EGF) concentrations that would otherwise be undetectable by the tumor cells. Currently, there are several clinical and genetic characteristics which can predict sensitivity to erlotinib, an EGF receptor inhibitor, but further studies are necessary. Methods: The animal models used were the polyoma middle T antigen (PyMT) transgenic mouse and severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) xenografted tumors derived from injection with a human breast carcinoma line, MDA-MB-231, and a rat adenocarcinoma line, MTLn3, with forced expression of MenaINV and Mena11a. Invasive cells and average primary tumor cells were collected using the in vivo invasion assay and Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), respectively, and imaged via immunofluorescence. Results: We show that in both the PyMT and MDA-MB-231 animal models, invasive cells are significantly more mesenchymal than average primary tumor cells, indicating they have undergone EMT. The MTLn3-MenaINV cells are more mesenchymal-like, whereas the Mena11a are more epithelial-like. We also expect that cells with a high Mena INV/11a ratio invade despite the presence of erlotinib. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
At harvest traits such as seed weight are the sum of development and responses to stresses over the growing season and particularly during the reproductive phase of growth. The aim here was to measure quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying the seed weight from early development to drying post harvest. One hundred forty-three F(5) derived recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from the cross of soybean cultivars 'Charleston' and 'Dongnong 594' were used for the analysis of QTL underlying mean 100-seed weight at six different developmental stages. QTL x Environment interactions (QE) were analyzed by a mixed genetic mode based on 3 years' data. At an experiment-wise threshold of a=0.05 and by single-point analysis 94 QTL unaffected by QE underlay the mean seed weight at different developmental stages. Sixty-eight QTL affected by QE that also underlay mean seed weight were identified. From the 162 QTL 42 could be located on 12 linkage groups by composite interval mapping (LOD>2.0). The numbers, locations and types of the QTL and the genetic effects were different at each developmental stage. On linkage group C2 the distantly linked QTL swC2-1, swC2-2 and swC2-3 each affected mean seed weight throughout the different developmental stages. The DNA markers linked to the QTL possessed potential for use in marker-assisted selection for soybean seed size. The identification of QTL with genetic main effects and QE interaction effects suggested that such interactions might significantly alter seed weight during seed development.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Reports about biofeedback therapy together with electrical stimulation with faecal incontinence are rare. This study is to investigate the effectiveness of biofeedback therapy in faecal incontinence patients with myogenic lesions. METHODS One hundred and twenty-six patients with faecal incontinence caused by myogenic lesions were referred to this programme, comprising three sessions of supervised therapy in hospital followed by 2 months of home exercise. Biofeedback therapy methods that consist of strengthening muscles biofeedback, sensory discrimination biofeedback, synchronizing biofeedback, and electrical stimulation were selected to improve the programme. Clinical scores and outcomes of the anorectal function were assessed before and after the programme, and t test was performed for statistical analysis. RESULTS Before this programme, there were 19 patients with good clinical scores, 46 patients with fair and 61 patients with poor clinical scores. After therapy, 98 patients achieved good scores, 24 patients fair, and only four patients had poor clinical scores. The squeeze pressure and the sphincter electromyography amplitude were improved significantly, the rectal sensory threshold was decreased significantly, and 80 patients who previously had no external anal sphincter reflex acquired such a reflex. At the two-year follow-up, 60.2% (65/108) of patients maintained the clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION biofeedback therapy together with electrical stimulation is an effective method for faecal incontinence in patients with myogenic lesions. Patients should be offered this choice of therapy.

Abstract
The population genetics of the Indian subcontinent is central to understanding early human prehistory due to its strategic location on the proposed corridor of human movement from Africa to Australia during the late Pleistocene. Previous genetic research using mtDNA has emphasized the relative isolation of the late Pleistocene colonizers, and the physically isolated Andaman Island populations of Island South-East Asia remain the source of claims supporting an early split between the populations that formed the patchy settlement pattern along the coast of the Indian Ocean. Using whole-genome sequencing, combined with multiplexed SNP typing, this study investigates the deep structure of mtDNA haplogroups M31 and M32 in India and the Andaman Islands. The identification of a so far unnoticed rare polymorphism shared between these two lineages suggests that they are actually sister groups within a single haplogroup, M31'32. The enhanced resolution of M31 allows for the inference of a more recent colonization of the Andaman Islands than previously suggested, but cannot reject the very early peopling scenario. We further demonstrate a widespread overlap of mtDNA and cultural markers between the two major language groups of the Andaman archipelago. Given the "completeness" of the genealogy based on whole genome sequences, and the multiple scenarios for the peopling of the Andaman Islands sustained by this inferred genealogy, our study hints that further mtDNA based phylogeographic studies are unlikely to unequivocally support any one of these possibilities.

Abstract
On the basis of our previous identified linkage regions for nicotine dependence (ND), we selected seven and four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the beta-arrestins 1 (ARRB1) and 2 (ARRB2), respectively, to determine the associations of the two genes with ND in a total of 2037 subjects from 602 nuclear families of European American (EA) and African American (AA) origin. ND was assessed by Smoking Quantity (SQ), the Heaviness of Smoking Index (HSI) and the Fagerström Test for ND (FTND) score. Individual SNP analysis indicated that SNPs rs472112 within ARRB1 and rs4790694 within ARRB2 in the EA sample was significantly associated with HSI and FTND score, and the association of rs4790694 for ARRB2 remained significant after correction for multiple testing. Haplotype analysis revealed that haplotype C-G-C-G-G-T within ARRB1 at a frequency of 20%, formed by SNPs rs528833, rs1320709, rs480174, rs5786130, rs611908 and rs472112, was positively associated with HSI and FTND in EAs. We also found a haplotype within ARRB2, C-C-A-T at a frequency of 10.7%, formed by SNPs rs3786047, rs4522461, rs1045280 and rs4790694, that showed a significant positive association with HSI and FTND in the EA sample. No significant associations for either individual SNPs or major haplotype of both ARRB1 and ARRB2 were found in the AA sample. Further, the strength of these associations increased after removing the SQ component from HSI and FTND scores in both the EA and AA samples, suggesting that ARRB1 and ARRB2 play an important role in biological processes involved in the regulation of smoking urgency (that is time to smoke first cigarette). In summary, our results provide the first evidence of a significant association for ARRB1 and ARRB2 variants with ND in an EA sample.

Abstract
Glaucoma is one of the most frequent causes of blindness worldwide. The elevated intraocular pressure does not explain glaucoma in all patients but can be considered as a risk factor of the disease. There are some evidences that autoimmune mechanisms may be involved in this disorder. This review attempts to demonstrate the findings about autoimmune mechanisms in glaucoma patients. Consistent up- and down-regulations in the autoantibody profiles against ocular antigens are present in glaucoma patients. These changes in natural autoimmunity could be found in independent study populations and might be a promising tool for glaucoma detection.
