Abstract
We synthesized a novel aryl-guanidino compound, DCZ3301, and found that it has potent cytotoxicity against multiple human cancer cell lines. The anticancer activity was most potent against multiple myeloma (MM). DCZ3301 induced cytotoxicity in MM cell lines, as well as patient myeloma cells, in part by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential to induce apoptosis. In contrast, DCZ3301 had no cytotoxic effect on normal cells. DCZ3301 also inhibited cell cycling and caused a G2/M accumulation that corresponded with downregulation of Cdc25C, CDK1, and Cyclin B1. DCZ3301 retained its activity against MM cells in the presence of exogenous cytokines (IL-6 or VEGF) or bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and reduced activity of multiple signaling pathways (STAT3, NFκB, AKT, ERK1/2) in MM but not normal cells. The STAT3 pathway played an important role in modulating DCZ3301-mediated cytotoxicity. Knockdown of STAT3 using siRNA in MM cells enhanced DCZ3301-induced cytotoxicity, whereas overexpression of STAT3 in MM cells partially protected them from apoptosis. In addition, DCZ3301 inhibited VEGF and IL-6 secretion in a dose-dependent fashion in a co-culture of MM cells and BMSCs. Combining DCZ3301 with bortezomib induced synergistic cytotoxicity in MM cell lines and primary MM cells. Finally, in vivo efficacy of DCZ3301 was confirmed in an MM xenograft mouse model. Together, these results provide a rationale for translation of this small-molecule inhibitor, either alone or in combination, to the clinic against MM.

Abstract
In order to explore the mechanism by which Tween-80 enhances the production of curdlan produced by Agrobacterium sp., the effects of Tween-80 on the production and structure of curdlan and Agrobacterium sp. were evaluated. Maximum curdlan production (51.94g/L) was achieved when 16g/L Tween-80 was added at the beginning of the cell growth stage. The addition of Tween-80 at higher concentration inhibited cell growth. However, the addition of 16g/L Tween-80 enhanced the production of curdlan with a looser ultrastructure, significantly weakened the envelopment of curdlan on Agrobacterium sp., altered the fine structure of cell membrane, and increased the cell membrane permeability. Moreover, the efficiency of oxygen and mass transport, respiration intensity, UTP regeneration, ATP regeneration, activity of curdlan synthetase, capacity of stress response and energy supply of Agrobacterium sp. were all greatly improved by the addition of Tween-80. These findings demonstrate the mechanisms by which Tween-80 enhances curdlan production and provide a cheap and feasible approach to weaken the envelopment of water-insoluble polysaccharides on bacteria.

Abstract
STAT3 plays a pivotal role in the hematopoietic system, which constitutively activated by BCR–ABL via JAK and Erk/MAP-kinase pathways. Phospho-STAT3 was overexpressed in imatinib-resistant CML patients as relative to imatinib responsive ones. By activation of the STAT3 pathway, BCR–ABL can promote cell cycling, and inhibit differentiation and apoptosis. Ribosomal protein S27a (RPS27a) performs extra-ribosomal functions besides imparting a role in ribosome biogenesis and post-translational modifications of proteins. RPS27a can promote proliferation, regulate cell cycle progression and inhibit apoptosis of leukemia cells. However, the relationship between STAT3 and RPS27a has not been reported. In this study, we detected a significantly increased expression of STAT3 and RPS27a in bone marrow samples from CML-AP/BP patients compared with those from CML-CP. In addition, we also demonstrated that it was a positive correlation between the level of STAT3 and that of RPS27a. Imatinib-resistant K562/G01 cells expressed significantly higher levels of STAT3 and RPS27a compared with those of K562 cells. RPS27a could be transactivated by p-STAT3 through the specific p-STAT3-binding site located nt −633 to −625 and −486 to −478 of the RPS27a gene promoter in a dose-dependent manner. The transactivated RPS27a could decrease the percentage of apoptotic CML cells induced by imatinib. And the effect of STAT3 overexpression could be counteracted by the p-STAT3 inhibitor WP1066 or RPS27a knockdown. These results suggest that drugs targeting STAT3/p-STAT3/RPS27a combining with TKI might represent a novel therapy strategy in patients with TKI-resistant CML.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Estrogen receptor (ESR1) mutations occur at a high frequency in metastatic breast tumors in patients treated with hormonal therapy in the metastatic setting. We do not know if these mutations are involved in metastasis.
Experimental design and methods: We generated ESR1 Y537S homozygous mutations using CRISPR Casp-9 technology. Treatment synergy was evaluated using Compusyn. Athymic mice were used in tumor xenograft studies. ChIP-Seq and transcriptome analyses were performed.
Results: We generated CRISPR ESR1 Y537S mutation homozygous knock-in clones and lentiviral stable pools in MCF-7 cells. Transcriptome profiling revealed elevated expression of Hallmark pathways, including EMT and estrogen-regulated gene expression. The EMT in mutant cells was associated with a switch from E-cadherin to vimentin, and increased expression of SNAIL and TWIST. Mutant cell growth was resistant to tamoxifen, but responsive to fulvestrant treatment. Synergistic treatment effects were observed with fulvestrant and everolimus or palbociclib. CRISPR Y537S mutant knock-in cells grown in the mammary fat-pad of athymic mice spontaneously metastasized to distant organs including the lung, intestine, and kidneys. In the presence of estrogen, there was no difference in the frequency of distant macrometastases between parental wild-type ER and CRISPR Y537S mutant ER mice. However, in the absence of estrogen, 80% of CRISPR Y537S mutant ER mice displayed overt distant macrometastases, but none were observed in parental wild-type ER mice (p=0.04). Interestingly, although CRISPR Y537S mutant ER tumors grown in the mammary fat-pad were unresponsive to tamoxifen treatment, tamoxifen significantly inhibited the growth of mutant tumors at the distant microenvironment (8-fold). Distant tumors retained ER expression and hormone sensitivity. Comparison of residual tamoxifen-treated metastatic tumors with tumors grown at the primary mammary fat-pad site using immunoblot analysis demonstrated significant reduction in estrogen-regulated gene expression, but no effect on the expression of biomarkers associated with EMT, suggesting a disconnect between EMT and distant metastasis in mutant cells. EMT genes were also identified as direct binding site targets in Y537S mutant cells compared with wide-type ER using ChIPSeq. We discovered that expression of the Y537S mutant was dominant, driving the growth of distant metastatic tumors when co-expressed with wild-type ER cells. A Y537S ER mutant-specific gene expression signature predicted poor disease-free survival of ER-positive patients using the METABRIC database, and lung-specific metastasis-free survival in a Memorial Sloan Kettering dataset.
Conclusion: The Y537S ER mutation is a driver of distant metastasis in ER-positive breast cancer cells. Although tamoxifen treatment was ineffective at reducing the growth of mutant cells grown at the primary site, it was effective at reducing distant metastasis. A Y537S ER mutant-specific gene expression signature predicted poor disease-free, and distant lung metastasis in ER-positive patients. Mutation status is a potential new predictive factor for hormone therapy of metastatic breast cancer patients on maintenance hormonal therapy.

Abstract
Oncogenesis is a pathologic process driven by genomic aberrations, including changes in nucleotide sequences. The majority of these mutational events fall into two broad categories: inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (hypomorph, antimorph or amorph) or activation of oncogenes (hypermorph). The recent surge in genome sequence data and functional genomics research has ushered in the discovery of aberrations in a third category: gain-of-novel-function mutation (neomorph). These neomorphic mutations, which can be found in both tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes, produce proteins with entirely different functions from their respective wild-type (WT) proteins and the other morphs. The unanticipated phenotypic outcomes elicited by neomorphic mutations imply that tumors with the neomorphic mutations may not respond to therapies designed to target the WT protein. Therefore, understanding the functional activities of each genomic aberration to be targeted is crucial in devising effective treatment strategies that will benefit specific cancer patients.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cell-based treatments are promising therapies for multiple myeloma (MM). Carfilzomib (CFZ), is a second-generation proteasome inhibitor, used to treat relapsed and refractory MM. In this study, we determined that CFZ treatment enhanced the sensitivity of MM cells to NK cell-mediated lysis. Here, we report that CFZ decreased the expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I in a time- and dose-dependent manner. CFZ also down-regulated the expression of newly formed HLA class I on MM cells. Treatment of MM with CFZ enhanced NK cell degranulation and significantly sensitized patients' MM cells to NK cell-mediated lysis. Furthermore, the enhancement of NK cell-mediated lysis was linked with the decreased expression of HLA class I. Our findings show a novel activity of CFZ as an immunomodulating agent and suggest a possible approach to therapeutically augment NK cell function in MM patients.

Abstract
To explore that it is necessary to routinely detect chromosomes in infertile patients, we investigated peripheral blood lymphocyte karyotype in 16,294 male infertile patients in the north-east of China and analysed the incidence and type of chromosomal anomaly and polymorphism. G-banding karyotype analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes was performed in 16,294 cases. Semen analysis was performed three times in all the men. PCR and FISH confirmed the presence of the SRY gene. The rate of chromosomal anomaly in the 16,294 male infertile patients was 4.15% (677/16,294). The rates of chromosomal anomaly were 0.24% in normal semen group, 12.6% in light oligoasthenospermia group, 4.7% in moderate-to-severe oligoasthenospermia group and 9.59% in azoospermia group. There are two male infertile patients with 45,X chromosome karyotype. One X male patient had confirmed the presence of the SRY gene and FISH analysis demonstrated its location on the p arm of chromosome 13. The other X male patient had not found SRY gene in its whole-genome DNA. Meanwhile, sperm motility is slightly oligo-asthenozoospermic at the age of 35-39 and nearly azoospermic at the age of 40-45. As the rates of chromosomal anomaly are 0.24% and 12.6% even in normal semen group and light oligoasthenospermia group, the rates of chromosomal polymorphism are 5.36% and 25.51% in normal semen group and light oligoasthenospermia group, respectively; it is necessary to explore peripheral blood lymphocyte karyotype in all infertile couples. We mentioned that Y, 1, 2, 9 and 12 chromosomes were quite important about male infertility. These findings demonstrate that autosomal retention of SRY can be submicroscopic and emphasise the importance of PCR and FISH in the genetic workup of the monosomic X male. At the same time, it suggested that male infertility might be related to meiotic disturbances with spermatogenetic arrest in Y-autosome translocations, which could result in infertility by reduction of sperm production. Last but not least, ageing is one of the factors that could reduce sperm motility and quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adenomyosis is a common benign gynecological disease which has some malignant behaviors. Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) is a newly identified tumor suppressor gene which lowly expresses in various cancers. However, the expression status of PDCD4 in endometrium of adenomyosis patients has not been investigated. The aim of this study is to assess the expression levels of PDCD4 in endometrium of normal controls and adenomyosis patients. METHODS The expression of PDCD4 in endometrium of normal controls and eutopic or ectopic endometrium of patients with adenomyosis was evaluated with quantitative real-time PCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry. In addition, the levels of serum estradiol and progesterone in normal controls and adenomyosis patients were detected using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. RESULTS The results showed that PDCD4 mainly expressed in the cytoplasma of glandular epithelium of control endometrium and varied during the cycle changes of endometrium, which may be regulated by changing concentrations of progesterone in the menstrual cycle. Compared with the proliferative phase of control endometrium, PDCD4 expression was down-regulated in proliferative phase of eutopic endometrium or ectopic endometrium, and there was no cyclic variation of PDCD4 expression in eutopic endometrium of adenomyosis patients due to progesterone resistance. CONCLUSION These results suggest that PDCD4 may be involved in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis, which will provide a novel strategy for the early diagnosis and new therapeutic target of adenomyosis.

Abstract
Effective expression of pIFN-α in recombinant Pichia pastoris was conducted in a 5 L fermentor. Ethanol accumulation during the late glycerol feeding period inhibited heterologous protein expression. Comparative transcriptome analysis was thus performed to compare the gene transcription profiles of Pichia pastoris KM71H in high and low ethanol concentration environments. The results showed that during the glycerol cultivation stage, 545 genes (265 up-regulated and 280 down-regulated) were differentially expressed with ethanol stress. These genes were mainly involved in protein synthesis, energy metabolism, cell cycle and peroxisome metabolism. During the methanol induction stage, 294 genes (171 up-regulated and 123 down-regulated) were differentially expressed, which were mainly related to methanol metabolism, amino acid metabolism and protein synthesis. Ethanol stress increased protein misfolding and reduced structural integrity of ribosome and mitochondria during cultivation stage, and led to the failure of endoplasmic reticulum stress removal and damaged amino acid metabolism during induction stage in Pichia pastoris.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of thalidomide as an initial treatment in myeloma patients who were unsuitable for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), as induction treatment prior to ASCT, or as a maintenance treatment was unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the benefits and risks of thalidomide for previously untreated myeloma patients. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of thalidomide used in either induction or maintenance therapy for previously untreated myeloma patients. Twenty-two RCTs enrolling 9098 patients were identified, including 15 RCTs of induction thalidomide, 6 RCTs of maintenance thalidomide, and 1 RCT of induction and maintenance thalidomide. Induction thalidomide improved overall response rate (ORR) (risk ratio (RR) 1.54, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.30-1.83), complete response rate (CRR) (RR 3.03, 95 % CI 1.91-4.80), progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio (HR) 0.65, 95 % CI 0.56-0.76), and overall survival (OS) (HR 0.78, 95 % CI 0.67-0.91) in patients who were not allowed to receive ASCT. Induction thalidomide improved pre-ASCT ORR (RR 1.20, 95 % CI 1.11-1.30), pre-ASCT and post-ASCT CRR (RR 1.47, 95 % CI 1.12-1.93 and RR 1.23, 95 % CI 1.00-1.50, respectively), and PFS (HR 0.73, 95 % CI 0.59-0.91) in patients who were allowed to receive ASCT, but it did not improve post-ASCT ORR (RR 1.04, 95 % CI 0.99-1.09) and OS (HR 0.91, 95 % CI 0.79-1.05). Improved PFS and prolonged OS were observed (HR 0.61, 95 % CI 0.53-0.70 and HR 0.77, 95 % CI 0.62-0.95, respectively) when thalidomide was added to maintenance therapy. More patients experienced venous thromboembolism (VTE) of grade 3/4 when thalidomide was added to induction or maintenance therapy (HR 2.15, 95 % CI 1.58-2.92 and RR 1.96, 95 % CI 1.13-3.40, respectively). Induction thalidomide still increased the risk of VTE (RR 1.53, 95 % CI 1.12-2.08) after VTE prophylaxis was used. Induction thalidomide effectively improved CRR, ORR, and PFS (except post-ASCT ORR). Notably, induction thalidomide improved OS in patients who were not allowed to receive ASCT but not in patients who were allowed to receive ASCT. The addition of thalidomide to maintenance therapy improved both PFS and OS. However, thalidomide led to a greater risk of VTE with grade 3/4. This risk did not disappear after VTE prophylaxis was used in induction therapy with thalidomide.

Abstract
We investigated the associations between 2 major tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) polymorphisms, rs1799724 C>T and rs1800629 G>A, and the susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD) using a meta-analysis framework. The PubMed, EBSCO, Ovid, Wiley, Web of Science, WANFANG, and VIP databases (last updated search in October 2014) were comprehensively searched for relevant published studies. The studies retrieved from database searches were filtered based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the resultant data extracted from the selected studies were analyzed using the Comprehensive Meta-analysis 2.0 software. Eleven case-control studies, containing 2000 CD patients and 3499 healthy controls, were identified as relevant to this meta-analysis. Data extracted from these 11 studies were analyzed to understand the role of the 2 TNF-α polymorphisms in CD. We found that the TNF-α rs1799724 C>T polymorphism increased the susceptibility to CD (allele model: OR = 1.293, 95%CI = 1.090-1.534, P = 0.003; dominant model: OR = 1.258, 95%CI = 1.031-1.534, P = 0.024). In contrast, we found no significant association between the TNF-α rs1800629 G>A polymorphism and CD susceptibility (allele model: OR = 1.005, 95%CI = 0.864-1.170, P = 0.945; dominant model: OR = 0.962, 95%CI = 0.809-1.145, P = 0.667). This meta-analysis showed that the TNF-α rs1799724 C>T polymorphism is associated with CD susceptibility, while the TNF-α rs1800629 G>A polymorphism appeared to have no correlation with the susceptibility to CD.

Abstract
AIM A sensitive and selective method was developed and validated to study the pharmacokinetics of isatin. METHODS The blood samples were pretreated by protein precipitation method using methanol. Quetiapine was used as an internal standard. After pretreatment, the samples were assayed by LC/MS/MS method and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by WinNonlin 5.2 using non-compartment model. The separation was performed on a Venusil XBP PH column (5 µm, 2.0×100 mm) with an isocratic mobile phase consisted of methanol-water (containing 50 mM ammonium formate) (65:35, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The Agilent G6410B triple quadrupole LC/MS system was operated under the multiple reactions monitoring mode (MRM) using the electrospray ionization technique in positive mode. RESULTS The lower limits of quantification (LLOQ) of the analyte of the method was 10 ng/mL. The method was linear with correlation coefficient >0.995. The intraday and interday accuracy and precision of the assay were acceptable. CONCLUSION This method has been applied successfully to a pharmacokinetic study involving the oral and intravenous administration of isatin to beagle dogs.

Abstract
Fucoidan is one of the major sulfated polysaccharides isolated from brown seaweeds. In this study, we determined the anti-cancer activity of fucoidan on diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells both in vitro and in vivo. Fucoidan inhibited the growth of DLBCL cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and fucoidan treatment provoked G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, which was accompanied by p21 up-regulation and cyclin D1, Cdk4, and Cdk6 down-regulation. Fucoidan also induced caspase-dependent cell apoptosis in DLBCL cell lines and primary DLBCL cell. In addition, fucoidan treatment caused the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor from the mitochondria into the cytosol. Fucoidan also potentiated the activities of carfilzomib in killing DLBCL cells. Oral administration of fucoidan effectively inhibited tumor growth in xenograft mouse models. Our findings reveal the novel function of fucoidan as an anti-DLBCL agent, which can be used in the clinical treatment of DLBCL.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between chronotropic incompetence and motor ability in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant metabolic syndrome (MS) in order to facilitate exercise prescriptions for these patients. METHODS A total of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly enrolled and divided into study groups with (N.=64) or without MS (N.=56). All patients completed the electrocardiographic exercise testing, after which ratio of heart rate (rHR) and heart rate reserve (HRR) were calculating to assess chronotropic incompetence. In addition, maximum metabolic equivalents (maxMETs) were calculated to assess the motor ability. RESULTS The MS group had significantly higher indicators of chronotropic incompetence (rHR and HRR) as well as maxMETs than patients without MS (all P<0.05). Further, maxMETs significantly correlated with rHR (r=0.81, P=0.003) and HRR (r=0.78, P<0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant MS have higher chronotropic incompetence and maxMETs compared with those without MS. METs or perceived level of exertion can be used in patients in whom heart rate is not available during the exercise.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of single-agent bortezomib or bortezomib-based regimens as consolidation therapy after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) has been in question. To address the issue, we conducted a meta-analysis of two randomized double-blind placebo-controlled studies involving a total of 691 patients. The primary outcomes of interest were progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate. Secondary outcomes included overall survival (OS) and adverse events. There was a marked benefit in 3-year PFS with bortezomib (Odds Ratio [OR] = 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11 to 2.08), whereas there was no difference in 3-year overall survival (OS; OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.60 to 1.37). More bortezomib-treated paitents achieved at least a very good partial response (≥ VGPR) (OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.19 to 2.51). The rate of complete response or near-complete response (CR/nCR) was significantly higher with bortezomib consolidation therapy (OR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.18 to 2.22). For adverse events, more patients in the bortezomib consolidation therapy arm experienced peripheral neuropathy (OR = 4.03, 95% CI = 2.72 to 5.96). Significant differences were also seen with those experiencing peripheral neuropathy greater than grade 2 (OR = 4.26, 95% CI = 1.06 to 17.11). Based on these results, we conclude that single-agent bortezomib or bortezomib-based regimens as consolidation therapy after ASCT in patients with MM was effective in the improvement of PFS and response rate. However, peripheral neuropathy must be closely monitored.

Abstract
ABSTRACT:Objective:To determine whether the addition of intravenous dexamethasone to standard emergency department (ED) migraine therapy would decrease the incidence of severe recurrent headache 24 to 48 hours after initial treatment.Methods:Patients aged 19 to 65 years whose headache was severe enough to require parenteral therapy and who met International Headache Society migraine criteria were eligible for this randomized, double-blind trial. The study was conducted in the ED of 2 community hospitals, 1 of which was a tertiary referral centre. Exclusion criteria included pregnancy, focal findings, fever, meningismus, allergy to the study drug, active peptic ulcer disease and diabetes mellitus. Demographic and clinical data, including headache severity, were recorded. After abortive therapy (antiemetics, intravenous nonsteroidal agents, dihydroergotamine or opioids), blinded nurses administered dexamethasone (24 mg intravenously) or placebo. Patients recorded headache severity on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at time T = 0, T = 30 minutes and T = 60 minutes and at discharge. They were contacted 48 to 72 hours later and asked whether they had suffered a recurrence of their headache, categorized as class A (severe, provoking another physician visit), class B (severe, interfering with daily activity but not provoking a physician visit), class C (mild, requiring self-medication but not limiting activity) or class D (mild, requiring no treatment). Results: Two of 100 patients were lost to follow-up, leaving 98 in the study sample. Placebo recipients were more likely to be female; other baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Median VAS pain score was 83 mm on ED arrival, 35 mm after initial treatment and 12 mm on discharge. At follow-up, 65 of 98 patients had suffered headache recurrence. In the placebo versus dexamethasone groups, respectively, the results were 11 versus 0 in class A, 11 versus 9 in class B, 7 versus 11 in class C and 4 versus 12 in class D. Regarding the primary outcome, 9 of 49 dexamethasone patients (18%) and 22 of 49 placebo patients (45%) had severe (classes A and B) recurrent headache (odds ratio 0.28; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.69;p= 0 .005).Conclusions:Migraine recurrence is common after “successful” ED treatment. Inflammation may be a critical factor in migraine genesis. Intravenous dexamethasone decreases the incidence of severe recurrent headache after ED treatment and should be offered to patients thought to be at risk of recurrent headache.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Patients with suspected opioid overdose frequently require naloxone treatment. Despite recommendations to observe such patients for 4 to 24 hours after naloxone, earlier discharge is becoming more common. This prospective, observational study of patients with presumed opioid overdose examines the safety of early disposition decisions and the accuracy of outcome prediction by physicians 1 hour after the administration of naloxone.
Methods:
The study was carried out at St. Paul’s Hospital, an inner city teaching centre that cares for most of the injection drug users in Vancouver, BC. Patients were formally assessed 1 hour after receiving naloxone for presumed opioid overdose. Demographics, medical history and physical examination were documented on specific data forms, and physicians recorded their comfort with early discharge. Patients were followed up, and those who required a critical intervention or suffered a pre-defined adverse event (AE) within 24 hours of their 1-hour assessment were identified.
Results:
Of 573 patients, 48% were discharged in less than 2 hours, 23% in 2–4 hours and 29% in >4 hours. 94 patients who were held in the emergency department (ED) or admitted required a critical intervention, including supplemental oxygen for hypoxia (74), repeat naloxone (52), antibiotics administered intravenously (IV) (14), assisted ventilations (13), fluid bolus for hypotension (12), charcoal for associated life-threatening overdose (6), IV inotropic agents (2), antiarrhythmics for sustained tachycardia >130 beats/min (1), and administration of bicarbonate for arterial [HCO3] <5 or venous CO2 <5 (1). Physicians predicted adverse events with 94% sensitivity and 59% specificity. No discharged patients suffered a serious AE within 24 hours of ED discharge.
Conclusions:
Emergency physicians can clinically identify patients at risk of deterioration after naloxone reversal of suspected opioid overdose. Prolonged observation or hospital admission is not usually required. Selective early discharge of patients with presumed opioid overdose is feasible and appears safe. A clinical prediction rule may be useful in identifying patients eligible for early discharge.

Abstract
Objectives The objective of this study is to assess the activity of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-13 in blocking high-fat diet-induced obesity and obesity-associated insulin resistance and liver steatosis. Methods C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet and received hydrodynamic delivery of plasmids carrying the mouse Il-13 or Gfp (control) gene. IL-13 blood protein levels, food consumption and body weight of mice were continuously monitored for 8 weeks. Fat and lean masses of treated and control animals were determined at the end of the experiment. Serum concentrations of glucose, insulin, and lipids were determined, and mRNA levels of macrophage marker genes in adipose tissue and genes involved in energy metabolism were examined using real time PCR. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity tests were performed to determine glucose homeostasis. Histochemistry and lipid assays were performed to determine the hepatic lipid accumulation. Results Blood concentration of IL-13 was 20 ng/ml one week after gene delivery and declined with time. Overexpression of IL-13 prevented high fat diet-induced weight gain without affecting food consumption. Mice that underwent Il-13 gene transfer showed regular body weight and normal serum concentrations of glucose and insulin, and less lipid accumulation in the liver. Overexpression of Il-13 blocked macrophage infiltration in adipose tissue and suppressed high-fat diet induced expression of inflammatory F4/80, Cd68 and Mcp1, and elevated expression of Ucp1 responsible for energy expenditure. Conclusion These results suggest that suppression of diet-induced inflammation by IL-13 is an effective strategy in preventing diet-induced obesity and obesity-associated insulin resistance and fatty liver.

Abstract
Flowers are the defining feature of angiosperms, and function as indispensable organs for sexual reproduction. Flower colour typically plays an important role in attracting pollinators, and can show considerable variation, even between closely related species. For example, domesticated tomato (S. lycopersicum) has orange/yellow flowers, while the wild relative S. chilense (accession LA2405) has bright yellow flowers. In this study, the mechanism of flower colour formation in these two species was compared by evaluating the accumulation of carotenoids, assessing the expression genes related to carotenoid biosynthetic pathways and observing chromoplast ultrastructure. In S. chilense petals, genes associated with the lutein branch of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, phytoene desaturase (PDS), ζ-carotene desaturase (ZDS), lycopene β-cyclase (LCY-B), β-ring hydroxylase (CRTR-B) and ε-ring hydroxylase (CRTR-E), were highly expressed, and this was correlated with high levels of lutein accumulation. In contrast, PDS, ZDS and CYC-B from the neoxanthin biosynthetic branch were highly expressed in S. lycopersicum anthers, leading to increased β-carotene accumulation and hence an orange/yellow colour. Changes in the size, amount and electron density of plastoglobules in chromoplasts provided further evidence of carotenoid accumulation and flower colour formation. Taken together, these results reveal the biochemical basis of differences in carotenoid pigment accumulation and colour between petals and anthers in tomato.

Abstract
PURPOSE Regulatory T cells (Treg) suppress the immune reaction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinicopathologic significance and roles of Treg in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with and without Hashimoto's thyroiditis. METHODS Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of CD4+CD25+CD127low/- Treg among CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood. FoxP3+ Treg were detected by immunohistochemistry in the tumor tissues. RESULTS The percentage of CD4+CD25+CD127low/- Treg among CD4+ T cells was significantly higher in PTC patients than that in multinodular goiter (MNG) patients. There were large numbers of tumor-infiltrating FoxP3+ Treg in primary PTC and metastatic lymph nodes tissues; however, there was no FoxP3 expression in the MNG tissues. Higher percentage of Treg both in peripheral blood and tumor tissues was associated with extrathyroidal extension and lymph nodes metastasis. The percentage of CD4+CD25+CD127low/- Treg among CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood of PTC patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) was significantly lower, whereas the infiltration of FoxP3+ Treg in tissues of PTC with HT tended to be increased. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that the percentage of Treg increased in peripheral blood as well as in the tumor tissues of PTC patients compared with that of MNG patients. The high percentage of Treg was associated with aggressiveness. There may be a compensatory expansion of Treg at the sites of inflammation in tissues of PTC with HT contributing to the immune response suppression.

Abstract
Despite the clinical success of tamoxifen, its resistance remains a major challenge in breast cancer. Here we show that Aurora-A determines tamoxifen sensitivity by regulation of oestrogen receptor (ER)α. Ectopic expression of Aurora-A decreases and depletion of Aurora-A enhances tamoxifen sensitivity in ERα-positive breast cancer. Elevated Aurora-A was significantly associated with the recurrence of ERα-positive tumours. Notably, Aurora-A inhibitor MLN8237, which is currently in clinical trial, synergizes with tamoxifen and overcomes tamoxifen resistance. Furthermore, Aurora-A interacts with and phosphorylates ERα on serine-167 and -305, leading to increase in ERα DNA-binding and transcriptional activity. Elevated levels of Aurora-A are significantly associated with disease-free survival in ERα-positive but not ERα-negative breast cancers. These data suggest that Aurora-A has a pivotal role in tamoxifen resistance and ERα is a bona fide substrate of Aurora-A. Thus, Aurora-A represents a prognostic marker in ERα-positive tumour and a critical therapeutic target in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer, and Aurora-A inhibitor could be used as either an independent or concurrent agent in tamoxifen-resistant tumour.

Abstract
Purpose Whether patients with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) needed to receive early interventional treatment remains controversial. Herein, we conducted a meta-analysis comparing the efficacy and safety of early treatment over deferred treatment for patients with SMM. Methods MEDLINE and Cochrane Library were searched to May 2014 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the effect of early treatment over deferred treatment. Primary outcome measure was mortality, and secondary outcome measures were progression, response rate, and adverse events. Results Overall, 5 trials including 449 patients were identified. There was a markedly reduced risk of disease progression with early treatment (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.07 to 0.24). There were no significant differences in mortality and response rate (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.45 to 1.60, and OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.32 to 1.23, respectively). More patients in the early treatment arm experienced gastrointestinal toxicities (OR = 10.02, 95%CI = 4.32 to 23.23), constipation (OR = 8.58, 95%CI = 3.20 to 23.00) and fatigue or asthenia (OR = 2.72, 95%CI = 1.30 to 5.67). No significant differences were seen with the development of acute leukemia (OR = 2.80, 95%CI = 0.42 to 18.81), hematologic cancer (OR = 2.07, 95%CI = 0.43 to 10.01), second primary tumors (OR = 3.45, 95%CI = 0.81 to 14.68), nor vertebral compression (OR = 0.18, 95%CI = 0.02 to 1.59). Conclusions Early treatment delayed disease progression but increased the risk of gastrointestinal toxicities, constipation and fatigue or asthenia. The differences on vertebral compression, acute leukemia, hematological cancer and second primary tumors were not statistically significant. Based on the current evidence, early treatment didn’t significantly affect mortality and response rate. However, further much larger trials were needed to provide more evidence.
