Abstract
Understanding the immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is critical to optimizing vaccination strategies for individuals with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we comprehensively analyzed innate and adaptive immune responses in 19 patients with SLE receiving a complete 2-dose Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2) regimen compared with a control cohort of 56 healthy control (HC) volunteers. Patients with SLE exhibited impaired neutralizing antibody production and antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses relative to HC. Interestingly, antibody responses were only altered in patients with SLE treated with immunosuppressive therapies, whereas impairment of antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell numbers was independent of medication. Patients with SLE also displayed reduced levels of circulating CXC motif chemokine ligands, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and IFN-γ after secondary vaccination as well as downregulation of gene expression pathways indicative of compromised innate immune responses. Single-cell RNA-Seq analysis reveals that patients with SLE showed reduced levels of a vaccine-inducible monocyte population characterized by overexpression of IFN-response transcription factors. Thus, although 2 doses of BNT162b2 induced relatively robust immune responses in patients with SLE, our data demonstrate impairment of both innate and adaptive immune responses relative to HC, highlighting a need for population-specific vaccination studies.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases disproportionately affect females more than males. The XX sex chromosome complement is strongly associated with susceptibility to autoimmunity. Xist long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is expressed only in females to randomly inactivate one of the two X chromosomes to achieve gene dosage compensation. Here, we show that the Xist ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex comprising numerous autoantigenic components is an important driver of sex-biased autoimmunity. Inducible transgenic expression of a non-silencing form of Xist in male mice introduced Xist RNP complexes and sufficed to produce autoantibodies. Male SJL/J mice expressing transgenic Xist developed more severe multi-organ pathology in a pristane-induced lupus model than wild-type males. Xist expression in males reprogrammed T and B cell populations and chromatin states to more resemble wild-type females. Human patients with autoimmune diseases displayed significant autoantibodies to multiple components of XIST RNP. Thus, a sex-specific lncRNA scaffolds ubiquitous RNP components to drive sex-biased immunity.

Abstract
The widespread presence of autoantibodies in acute infection with SARS-CoV-2 is increasingly recognized, but the prevalence of autoantibodies in non-SARS-CoV-2 infections and critical illness has not yet been reported. We profiled IgG autoantibodies in 267 patients from 5 independent cohorts with non-SARS-CoV-2 viral, bacterial, and noninfectious critical illness. Serum samples were screened using Luminex arrays that included 58 cytokines and 55 autoantigens, many of which are associated with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). Samples positive for anti-cytokine antibodies were tested for receptor blocking activity using cell-based functional assays. Anti-cytokine antibodies were identified in > 50% of patients across all 5 acutely ill cohorts. In critically ill patients, anti-cytokine antibodies were far more common in infected versus uninfected patients. In cell-based functional assays, 11 of 39 samples positive for select anti-cytokine antibodies displayed receptor blocking activity against surface receptors for Type I IFN, GM-CSF, and IL-6. Autoantibodies against CTD-associated autoantigens were also commonly observed, including newly detected antibodies that emerged in longitudinal samples. These findings demonstrate that anti-cytokine and autoantibodies are common across different viral and nonviral infections and range in severity of illness.

Abstract
Germinal centers (GCs) form in secondary lymphoid organs in response to infection and immunization and are the source of affinity-matured B cells. The duration of GC reactions spans a wide range, and long-lasting GCs (LLGCs) are potentially a source of highly mutated B cells. We show that rather than consisting of continuously evolving B cell clones, LLGCs elicited by influenza virus or SARS-CoV-2 infection in mice are sustained by progressive replacement of founder clones by naive-derived invader B cells that do not detectably bind viral antigens. Rare founder clones that resist replacement for long periods are enriched in clones with heavily mutated immunoglobulins, including some with very high affinity for antigen, that can be recalled by boosting. Our findings reveal underappreciated aspects of the biology of LLGCs generated by respiratory virus infection and identify clonal replacement as a potential constraint on the development of highly mutated antibodies within these structures.

Abstract
The widespread presence of autoantibodies in acute infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is increasingly recognized, but the prevalence of autoantibodies in infections with organisms other than SARS-CoV-2 has not yet been reported. We used protein arrays to profile IgG autoantibodies from 317 samples from 268 patients across a spectrum of non-SARS-CoV-2 infections, many of whom were critically ill with pneumonia. Anti-cytokine antibodies (ACA) were identified in > 50% of patients infected with non-SARS-CoV-2 viruses and other pathogens, including patients with pneumonia attributed to bacterial causes. In cell-based functional assays, some ACA blocked binding to surface receptors for type I interferons (Type I IFN), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Autoantibodies against traditional autoantigens associated with connective tissue diseases (CTDs) were also commonly observed in these cohorts, including newly-detected antibodies that emerged in longitudinal samples from patients infected with influenza. We conclude that autoantibodies, some of which are functionally active, may be much more prevalent than previously appreciated in patients who are symptomatically infected with diverse pathogens.

Abstract
Silicosis is an occupational lung parenchymal disease caused by inhaling silica. It requires differentiation from a malignant tumour and granulomatous disease. We describe the case of a woman with silicosis who exhibited enlargement of bilateral cervical lymph nodes, pericardial effusion and lung abnormalities. She was diagnosed with silicosis based on histological examination of a resected cervical lymph node, lung tissue biopsy and history of silica exposure. She underwent glucocorticoid therapy during hospitalization. The lung abnormalities, enlarged cervical lymph nodes and pericardial effusion were ameliorated by glucocorticoid therapy, but she relapsed shortly thereafter. In conclusion, silicosis with cervical lymph node enlargement and pericardial effusion is rare and should be differentiated from a malignant tumour and granulomatous disease. Some patients may respond well to steroids in the short term.

Abstract
COVID-19 is associated with a wide range of clinical manifestations, including autoimmune features and autoantibody production. Here we develop three protein arrays to measure IgG autoantibodies associated with connective tissue diseases, anti-cytokine antibodies, and anti-viral antibody responses in serum from 147 hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Autoantibodies are identified in approximately 50% of patients but in less than 15% of healthy controls. When present, autoantibodies largely target autoantigens associated with rare disorders such as myositis, systemic sclerosis and overlap syndromes. A subset of autoantibodies targeting traditional autoantigens or cytokines develop de novo following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Autoantibodies track with longitudinal development of IgG antibodies recognizing SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins and a subset of non-structural proteins, but not proteins from influenza, seasonal coronaviruses or other pathogenic viruses. We conclude that SARS-CoV-2 causes development of new-onset IgG autoantibodies in a significant proportion of hospitalized COVID-19 patients and are positively correlated with immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 proteins.

Abstract
The emergency use authorization of two mRNA vaccines in less than a year from the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 represents a landmark in vaccinology1,2. Yet, how mRNA vaccines stimulate the immune system to elicit protective immune responses is unknown. Here we used a systems vaccinology approach to comprehensively profile the innate and adaptive immune responses of 56 healthy volunteers who were vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2). Vaccination resulted in the robust production of neutralizing antibodies against the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 (derived from 2019-nCOV/USA_WA1/2020) and, to a lesser extent, the B.1.351 strain, as well as significant increases in antigen-specific polyfunctional CD4 and CD8 T cells after the second dose. Booster vaccination stimulated a notably enhanced innate immune response as compared to primary vaccination, evidenced by (1) a greater frequency of CD14+CD16+ inflammatory monocytes; (2) a higher concentration of plasma IFNγ; and (3) a transcriptional signature of innate antiviral immunity. Consistent with these observations, our single-cell transcriptomics analysis demonstrated an approximately 100-fold increase in the frequency of a myeloid cell cluster enriched in interferon-response transcription factors and reduced in AP-1 transcription factors, after secondary immunization. Finally, we identified distinct innate pathways associated with CD8 T cell and neutralizing antibody responses, and show that a monocyte-related signature correlates with the neutralizing antibody response against the B.1.351 variant. Collectively, these data provide insights into the immune responses induced by mRNA vaccination and demonstrate its capacity to prime the innate immune system to mount a more potent response after booster immunization.

The emergency use authorization of two COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in less than a year since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, represents a landmark in vaccinology1,2. Yet, how mRNA vaccines stimulate the immune system to elicit protective immune responses is unknown. Here we used a systems biological approach to comprehensively profile the innate and adaptive immune responses in 56 healthy volunteers vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine. Vaccination resulted in robust production of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against the parent strain and the variant of concern, B.1.351, but no induction of autoantibodies, and significant increases in antigen-specific polyfunctional CD4 and CD8 T cells after the second dose. The innate response induced within the first 2 days of booster vaccination was profoundly increased, relative to the response at corresponding times after priming. Thus, there was a striking increase in the: (i) frequency of CD14+CD16+ inflammatory monocytes; (ii) concentration of IFN- y in the plasma, which correlated with enhanced pSTAT3 and pSTAT1 levels in monocytes and T cells; and (iii) transcriptional signatures of innate responses characteristic of antiviral vaccine responses against pandemic influenza, HIV and Ebola, within 2 days following booster vaccination compared to primary vaccination. Consistent with these observations, single-cell transcriptomics analysis of 242,479 leukocytes demonstrated a ~100-fold increase in the frequency of a myeloid cluster, enriched in a signature of interferon-response transcription factors (TFs) and reduced in AP-1 TFs, one day after secondary immunization, at day 21. Finally, we delineated distinct molecular pathways of innate activation that correlate with CD8 T cell and nAb responses and identified an early monocyte-related signature that was associated with the breadth of the nAb response against the B1.351 variant strain. Collectively, these data provide insights into the immune responses induced by mRNA vaccines and demonstrate their capacity to stimulate an enhanced innate response following booster immunization.

Abstract
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is associated with a wide range of clinical manifestations, including autoimmune features and autoantibody production. We developed three different protein arrays to measure hallmark IgG autoantibodies associated with Connective Tissue Diseases (CTDs), Anti-Cytokine Antibodies (ACA), and anti-viral antibody responses in 147 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in three different centers. Autoantibodies were identified in approximately 50% of patients, but in <15% of healthy controls. When present, autoantibodies largely targeted autoantigens associated with rare disorders such as myositis, systemic sclerosis and CTD overlap syndromes. Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) were observed in ∼25% of patients. Patients with autoantibodies tended to demonstrate one or a few specificities whereas ACA were even more prevalent, and patients often had antibodies to multiple cytokines. Rare patients were identified with IgG antibodies against angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2). A subset of autoantibodies and ACA developed de novo following SARS-CoV-2 infection while others were transient. Autoantibodies tracked with longitudinal development of IgG antibodies that recognized SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins such as S1, S2, M, N and a subset of non-structural proteins, but not proteins from influenza, seasonal coronaviruses or other pathogenic viruses. COVID-19 patients with one or more autoantibodies tended to have higher levels of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Nonstructural Protein 1 (NSP1) and Methyltransferase (ME). We conclude that SARS-CoV-2 causes development of new-onset IgG autoantibodies in a significant proportion of hospitalized COVID-19 patients and are positively correlated with immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 proteins.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Bempedoic acid (BA) is an oral first-in-class, ATP-citrate lyase inhibitor that lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in adults with hypercholesterolemia. In the phase 3 CLEAR Harmony study (NCT02666664, n=2230), BA 180 mg for 52 weeks significantly lowered LDL-C at week 12 compared with placebo and was maintained for 52 weeks in hypercholesterolemic patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) on stable, maximally tolerated statins.
Purpose
To report long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BA from the CLEAR Harmony open-label extension (OLE) study (NCT03067441).
Methods
After completing the 52-week placebo-controlled CLEAR Harmony study, patients immediately entered the OLE and received BA for 78 weeks, followed by a 4-week washout period; the potential cumulative exposure to BA was 2.5 years. The primary endpoint was long-term safety of BA in the OLE.
Results
A total of 1462 patients enrolled in the OLE (BA n=970; placebo n=492 from CLEAR Harmony). At OLE baseline, mean (SD) age was 66.9 (8.7) years, 73.9% were male, 96.3% had ASCVD, 3.7% had HeFH with or without ASCVD, and all were receiving statins (93.5% moderate or high intensity). At baseline of CLEAR Harmony, patients had mean (SD) LDL-C of 102.9 (29.9) mg/dL (BA) and 99.0 (24.2) mg/dL (placebo). The majority of OLE patients (86.2%, n=1260) completed 78 weeks of BA treatment. At week 12 and 78 of OLE treatment, respectively, mean LDL-C lowering from CLEAR Harmony baseline was –14.9% and –14.4%. A total of 1143 patients (78.2%) reported a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), and 299 (20.5%) reported a serious TEAE. TEAEs of special interest, determined by the therapeutic area or prior observations in preclinical or early clinical studies, occurred at similar rates as CLEAR Harmony (creatine kinase elevations, 1.8%; gout, 2.6%; hepatic enzyme elevations, 2.0%; hypoglycemia, 1.2%; muscular disorders, 8.5%; neurocognitive disorders, 0.9%; new onset/worsening diabetes mellitus, 5.5%; renal disorders, 2.8%) with biochemical changes that were stable over the course of the study and approached baseline levels after treatment discontinuation. Overall, 114 patients (7.8%) reported a TEAE leading to discontinuation of BA (most common: myalgia [0.6%], muscle spasm [0.5%]).
Conclusion
Durable lipid lowering was observed through 78 weeks of BA treatment and patient adherence to BA therapy was high (86.2%). Overall safety during the OLE was similar to results reported in the 52-week-long CLEAR Harmony study and the overall BA phase 3 clinical program, with no new safety findings.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Bempedoic acid (BA), an oral ATP-citrate lyase inhibitor, significantly lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia. In clinical trials of BA, small mean increases in uric acid have been reported. BA weakly inhibits organic anion transporter 2 (OAT2) in vitro, which may account for small elevations in serum uric acid.
Purpose
To assess uric acid levels and incidence of gout with BA treatment.
Methods
Data were pooled from 4 randomized (2:1), double-blind studies of BA (180 mg daily) vs placebo for 12 weeks to 52 weeks in patients with hypercholesterolemia on stable background lipid-lowering therapy. Safety assessments included adverse events of special interest (elevation in uric acid levels, gout) and laboratory assessments.
Results
A total of 2424 patients treated with BA and 1197 patients on placebo were included in this analysis. Mean (SD) baseline uric acid levels were 6.0 (1.4) mg/dL for both groups. History of gout was reported by 5.2% (127/2424) and 5.8% (69/1197) in the BA and placebo groups, respectively. At week 12, mean (SD) serum uric acid levels (% change from baseline) increased from baseline with BA treatment by 0.82 (0.97) mg/dL (14.8%) vs –0.02 (0.82) mg/dL (0.67%) for placebo. Elevations in serum uric acid levels typically occurred within the first 4 weeks of treatment, remained stable during treatment, and returned to baseline after treatment discontinuation. Gout was reported in 1.4% (BA) and 0.4% (placebo) of patients, and hyperuricemia was reported in 1.7% (BA) and 0.6% (placebo) of patients. Other potential clinical consequences of elevated uric acid levels (eg, events associated with nephrolithiasis), were similar between groups (0.7% vs 0.8%). In both groups, patients who reported gout during the studies were more likely to have a medical history of gout or elevated baseline uric acid levels (Table). Few patients discontinued treatment due to gout (n=1, <0.1% [BA]) or uric acid increases (n=2, <0.1% [BA]).
Conclusion
Mean increases in uric acid levels were small, remained stable while patients continued to receive treatment, were infrequently associated with AEs, and were reversible on discontinuation of BA

Abstract
Since cases first emerged in December 2019, COVID‐19 (a type of coronavirus) has rapidly become pandemic. This fast‐tracked paper (published quickly) from China on COVID‐19 is written by dermatologists at the epicentre of the outbreak in Wuhan. Dermatology clinic staff may be at risk because protective equipment is not routinely available, and skin lesions might possibly transmit the virus indirectly. These authors suggest preventive measures based on experience in this and previous coronavirus outbreaks. Online consultation for non‐urgent patients reduces the numbers of patients attending clinics. Nurse‐led triage, to identify patients with possible COVID‐19, at the entrances of hospital and skin clinics directs patients with a cough or fever to a specific COVID‐19 area and a dermatologist is consulted if the fever might be related to skin disease. Clinic staff wear N95 masks and observe hand hygiene during consultations. Patients are admitted to a ward only if routine blood tests and chest CT scans exclude COVID‐19. Triage will not detect patients who are showing no symptoms but who are developing the disease, so the hospital should provide an on‐call expert team to discuss inpatients suspected or diagnosed with COVID‐19 and refer them to radiology, respiratory or intensive care colleagues as required. Confirmed cases are managed following local policies. Skin disorders in COVID‐19 inpatients can usually be managed remotely using photographs, email and teleconferencing. If necessary a multidisciplinary team (a team of medical staff from different specialties) can meet in the clean area of the isolation ward. If the dermatologist must see the patient, all records should be provided in advance to minimise exposure time. With these precautions, as of 20th February 2020 no infected patients were detected in the Wuhan Dermatology Department.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Trastuzumab has become the cornerstone of adjuvant therapy for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, as it has significantly impacted on overall survival for these patients. Unfortunately, not all patients are cured, and recurrences occur in up to 13% of patients. In the post-trastuzumab era, long-term outcomes for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who develop recurrent disease after exposure to adjuvant trastuzumab is unknown.
Methods:
We retrospectively identified patients with stage I-III HER2-positive breast cancer treated at The Ohio State University Medical Center from 1995-2011. Patients were divided into two groups: those exposed to adjuvant trastuzumab, and those who never received adjuvant trastuzumab. Medical records were reviewed to obtain demographic data, disease status at diagnosis, adjuvant and metastatic therapeutic regimens, date and location of recurrent disease, date of last follow-up and vital status. Time-dependent analyses were carried out using Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Results:
Six hundred and sixty-two patients were initially identified and included in the analysis. Of the 374 patients who did not receive adjuvant trastuzumab, 96 patients had recurrence (26%). There were 288 patients who received adjuvant trastuzumab, with 33 patients developing relapse (11%). In the patients who received adjuvant trastuzumab and subsequently recurred, there was a higher incidence of CNS recurrence (n = 8; 24%) than those who did not receive adjuvant trastuzumab (n = 10; 10%). Those that received adjuvant trastuzumab also had fewer bone metastases (n = 3; 9%) than the patients who did not receive adjuvant trastuzumab (n = 29; 30%). There was no difference in overall survival in patients with metastatic progression after exposure to adjuvant trastuzumab compared to patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer without prior adjuvant trastuzumab (p = 0.41). Of the 33 patients who relapsed after adjuvant trastuzumab, the majority received HER2-targeted therapy in the form of trastuzumab or lapatinib (n = 22; 67%). Eleven patients received trastuzumab-based therapy and 9 received lapatinib-based therapy. Two patients received the combination of trastuzumab and lapatinib. The remainder received cytotoxic therapy alone (n = 3; 9%), endocrine therapy (n = 1; 3%) or local therapy (surgery or radiation) (n = 4; 12%). Three patients received no therapy.
Conclusion:
There was no difference in overall survival for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who recur after adjuvant trastuzumab compared to metastatic patients without exposure to adjuvant trastuzumab. CNS disease as the first site of recurrence occured more frequently in patients who had received adjuvant trastuzumab than in those who were not previously exposed to trastuzumab. Continued HER2-targeted therapy after relapse on adjuvant trastuzumab was the regimen of choice in the first-line metastatic setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with metastatic bone disease are living longer in the metastatic stage due to improvements in cancer therapy, making strategies to prevent the aggravation of bone disease and its complications, such as skeletal-related events (SREs) and pain, increasingly important. PATIENTS AND RESULTS In this phase 3 trial in patients with advanced cancer (excluding breast and prostate cancer) or multiple myeloma, denosumab reduced the risk of radiation to bone by 22% relative to zoledronic acid (P = 0.026), prevented worsening of pain and pain interference (2-point increase in Brief Pain Inventory score; P < 0.05 versus zoledronic acid), and reduced the frequency of a shift from no/weak opioid analgesic use to strong opioids (P < 0.05 versus zoledronic acid at months 3-5). Denosumab delayed the time to moderate-to-severe pain compared with zoledronic acid in patients with mild or no pain at the baseline (P = 0.04), supporting early treatment. Health-related quality-of-life scores were similar in both groups. The number needed to treat to avoid one SRE for denosumab was 3 patient-years versus placebo and 10 patient-years versus zoledronic acid. CONCLUSION The use of denosumab was associated with better prevention of the complications of metastatic bone disease secondary to solid tumors or multiple myeloma versus zoledronic acid.

Abstract
Parity-odd domains, corresponding to nontrivial topological solutions of the QCD vacuum, might be created during relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These domains are predicted to lead to charge separation of quarks along the system's orbital momentum axis. We investigate a three-particle azimuthal correlator which is a P even observable, but directly sensitive to the charge separation effect. We report measurements of charged hadrons near center-of-mass rapidity with this observable in Au + Au and Cu + Cu collisions at square root of s(NN) = 200 GeV using the STAR detector. A signal consistent with several expectations from the theory is detected. We discuss possible contributions from other effects that are not related to parity violation.

Abstract
Forward-backward multiplicity correlation strengths have been measured with the STAR detector for Au + Au and p + p collisions at square root of s(NN) = 200 GeV. Strong short- and long-range correlations (LRC) are seen in central Au + Au collisions. The magnitude of these correlations decrease with decreasing centrality until only short-range correlations are observed in peripheral Au + Au collisions. Both the dual parton model (DPM) and the color glass condensate (CGC) predict the existence of the long-range correlations. In the DPM, the fluctuation in the number of elementary (parton) inelastic collisions produces the LRC. In the CGC, longitudinal color flux tubes generate the LRC. The data are in qualitative agreement with the predictions of the DPM and indicate the presence of multiple parton interactions.

Abstract
We report K/pi fluctuations from Au + Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]= 19.6, 62.4, 130, and 200 GeV using the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. K/pi fluctuations in central collisions show little dependence on incident energy and are on the same order as those from NA49 at the Super Proton Synchrotron in central Pb + Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=12.3 and 17.3 GeV. We report results for the collision centrality dependence of K/pi fluctuations and results for charge-separated fluctuations. We observe that the K/pi fluctuations scale with the charged particle multiplicity density.

Abstract
In ultraperipheral relativistic heavy-ion collisions, a photon from the electromagnetic field of one nucleus can fluctuate to a quark-antiquark pair and scatter from the other nucleus, emerging as a rho{0}. The rho{0} production occurs in two well-separated (median impact parameters of 20 and 40 F for the cases considered here) nuclei, so the system forms a two-source interferometer. At low transverse momenta, the two amplitudes interfere destructively, suppressing rho{0} production. Since the rho{0} decays before the production amplitudes from the two sources can overlap, the two-pion system can only be described with an entangled nonlocal wave function, and is thus an example of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox. We observe this suppression in 200 GeV per nucleon-pair gold-gold collisions. The interference is 87%+/-5%(stat.)+/-8%(syst.) of the expected level. This translates into a limit on decoherence due to wave function collapse or other factors of 23% at the 90% confidence level.

Abstract
Three-particle azimuthal correlation measurements with a high transverse momentum trigger particle are reported for pp, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV by the STAR experiment. Dijet structures are observed in pp, d+Au and peripheral Au+Au collisions. An additional structure is observed in central Au+Au data, signaling conical emission of correlated charged hadrons. The conical emission angle is found to be theta=1.37+/-0.02(stat)-0.07+0.06(syst), independent of p_{ perpendicular}.

Abstract
We measure directed flow (v_{1}) for charged particles in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 and 62.4 GeV, as a function of pseudorapidity (eta), transverse momentum (p_{t}), and collision centrality, based on data from the STAR experiment. We find that the directed flow depends on the incident energy but, contrary to all available model implementations, not on the size of the colliding system at a given centrality. We extend the validity of the limiting fragmentation concept to v_{1} in different collision systems, and investigate possible explanations for the observed sign change in v_{1}(p_{t}).

Abstract
We report precision measurements of the Feynman x (xF) dependence, and first measurements of the transverse momentum (pT) dependence, of transverse single-spin asymmetries for the production of pi0 mesons from polarized proton collisions at sqrt[s] = 200 GeV. The xF dependence of the results is in fair agreement with perturbative QCD model calculations that identify orbital motion of quarks and gluons within the proton as the origin of the spin effects. Results for the pT dependence at fixed xF are not consistent with these same perturbative QCD-based calculations.

Abstract
We report a new STAR measurement of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A(LL) for inclusive jet production at midrapidity in polarized p + p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=200 GeV. The data, which cover jet transverse momenta 5<p(T)<30 GeV/c, are substantially more precise than previous measurements. They provide significant new constraints on the gluon spin contribution to the nucleon spin through the comparison to predictions derived from one global fit to polarized deep-inelastic scattering measurements.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the opening angle distribution between pairs of jets produced in high-energy collisions of transversely polarized protons. The measurement probes (Sivers) correlations between the transverse spin orientation of a proton and the transverse momentum directions of its partons. With both beams polarized, the wide pseudorapidity (-1< or = eta < or = +2) coverage for jets permits separation of Sivers functions for the valence and sea regions. The resulting asymmetries are all consistent with zero and considerably smaller than Sivers effects observed in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. We discuss theoretical attempts to reconcile the new results with the sizable transverse spin effects seen in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and forward hadron production in pp collisions.

Abstract
We present first measurements of the phi-meson elliptic flow (v2(pT)) and high-statistics pT distributions for different centralities from radical sNN=200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. In minimum bias collisions the v2 of the phi meson is consistent with the trend observed for mesons. The ratio of the yields of the Omega to those of the phi as a function of transverse momentum is consistent with a model based on the recombination of thermal s quarks up to pT approximately 4 GeV/c, but disagrees at higher momenta. The nuclear modification factor (R CP) of phi follows the trend observed in the K S 0 mesons rather than in Lambda baryons, supporting baryon-meson scaling. These data are consistent with phi mesons in central Au+Au collisions being created via coalescence of thermalized s quarks and the formation of a hot and dense matter with partonic collectivity at RHIC.

Abstract
The STAR collaboration at the BNL Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) reports measurements of the inclusive yield of nonphotonic electrons, which arise dominantly from semileptonic decays of heavy flavor mesons, over a broad range of transverse momenta (1.2<p(T)<10 GeV/c) in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The nonphotonic electron yield exhibits an unexpectedly large suppression in central Au+Au collisions at high p(T), suggesting substantial heavy-quark energy loss at RHIC. The centrality and p(T) dependences of the suppression provide constraints on theoretical models of suppression.

Abstract
We report three children from two inbred Arab families with Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome who have survived the first year of life (ages are 6 years, 2.8 years and 2 years). All exhibited a characteristic phenotype resembling that described by Chen et al.[(2001). Am J Med Genet 101:240-245]. In all three children the skeletal abnormalities progressed to severe bowing of the long bones with prominent joints and severe spinal deformity. Neurological symptoms were present in all of them. These included temperature instability with excessive sweating, reduced pain sensation with repeated injury to the tongue and limbs, absent corneal reflexes and a smooth tongue. Mentality was normal in all of them. Radiological changes included under tubulation of the diaphyses, rarefaction and striation of metaphyses, destruction of the femoral heads and spinal deformity. We confirm that survival in this syndrome is possible and that the prognosis improves after the first year of life. This should be taken into consideration when counselling parents of affected children. This report further supports the existence of a characteristic phenotype in Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome survivors which include, in addition to the skeletal abnormalities and distinctive radiological features, neurological symptoms reminiscent of dysautonomia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The existence of an effective antitumour immune response in mycosis fungoides (MF) has been shown by the isolation of tumour-specific T-cell clones from such patients. Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered crucial for the induction of immunity, including resistance to tumours. Apoptotic tumour cells are a major source for tumour antigens processed and presented by DCs via cross-presentation. The production of interleukin (IL)-10 by MF tumour cells is acknowledged and may block DCs maturation leading to tumour tolerance. OBJECTIVES Cross-presentation of apoptotic tumour cells by DCs will induce immunity if the DCs mature, but tolerance if maturation does not occur. We now further characterize the DCs in skin infiltrates of patch/plaque-stage MF (PS) and tumour-stage MF (TS) in situ. Secondly, we demonstrate apoptosis in MF infiltrates in situ and analyse the association of apoptotic cells to immature DCs, mature DCs and IL-10-positive cells. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining (single, double, triple) employing novel markers specific for immature and mature DCs, IL-10 and a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labelling (TUNEL) test were done on representative skin biopsies from PS and TS. RESULTS In PS, the immature DCs are mostly lag/langerin + Langerhans cells (LCs). In the epidermis of PS, LCs predominate over fully mature DCs (non-LC type, CD83+, DC-lamp+). In the dermis of PS and TS, equal numbers of mature and immature (CD1a+, CD1c+) DCs are densely interspersed between the lymphocytic infiltrate. In TS, immature DCs mostly lack lag or langerin expression. Immature DCs with incorporated apoptotic cells were found rarely in PS but increasingly in TS. By triple staining in situ we could now show that strongly IL-10+ cells frequently surround immature DCs, some of them with incorporated apoptotic cells. CONCLUSIONS; DCs in MF perform a dual role, namely induction and maintenance of antitumour immunity, or, under less favourable circumstances such as production of IL-10 downregulation of antitumour immunity. The latter condition was mainly seen in TS, possibly explaining disease progression. Further in vitro studies are now required illuminating the role of DCs for the antitumour immune response in MF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Based on methods introduced in the late 1960s and no longer used, serum testosterone level in men after surgical castration was reported to be 50 ng/dL or less. Radioimmunoassay and, subsequently, chemiluminescent methods have supplanted the early analytic methods because of their improved accuracy and ease of testing. The purpose of this study was to define the castrate testosterone level in the era of chemiluminescent testing. METHODS After bilateral orchiectomy, serum testosterone (total) levels were measured prospectively in 35 prostate cancer patients. RESULTS The median testosterone value in this patient cohort was 15 ng/dL (0.5 nmol/L; 95% confidence interval 12 to 17 ng/dL). CONCLUSIONS In a contemporary series, castrate testosterone should be defined as less than 20 ng/dL (0.7 nmol/L). The important biologic and economic implications are discussed.

Abstract
Three extraction methods were compared for their effectiveness in the quantitative removal of endotoxin from unused and used bulk water-soluble metalworking fluid (MWF) samples. Soluble, synthetic, and semisynthetic fluids were studied. The three modes of extraction consisted of (1) pyrogen-free water (PFW); (2) PFW and Tween 20 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate); and (3) PFW, Tween 20, and sonication. Results suggest that vigorous recovery methods yield higher amounts of endotoxin from MWF samples than mild recovery methods in PFW alone. Additional studies are required to aid in the understanding of the factors that significantly affect endotoxin extraction yields from these fluids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the relationship between the histologic types, tumor invasion, operation mode and recurrence of ameloblastoma. METHODS Using WHO classification (1992) for histological typing of odontogenic tumors, 52 cases of ameloblastoma were studied clinicopathologically. RESULTS The 8 pathological types are: follicle formation type, plexiform type, acanthoma type, basal cell type, granular cell type, desmoplastic ameloblastoma, kerato ameloblastoma and ameloblastoma accompanied by bone formation. Recurrence in the 8 above types following surgery were 5/11, 0/5, 7/15, 5/8, 0/3, 0/3, 2/3 and 1/4 respectively. Five cases recurred in 21 patients with tumor cells infiltrating into the connective tissue surrounding the tumors. 12 cases recurred in 16 patients with tumor cells infiltrating thru the capsule into surrounding soft tissue. The recurrence rate in patients who had their tumor enucleated or curetted was 56.5% (13/23). The recurrence rate in the tumors resected together with involved bone segment was 24.1% (7/29). Multiple recurrences occurred in 3 cases whose tumors were not well differentiated and had atypical cells. CONCLUSIONS Recurrence was more often seen in the follicular, acanthoma, basaloid, and keratoid types of ameloblastoma. When these tumors invade adjacent soft tissues, the recurrence rate is also higher. Recurrence is linked to conservative surgery and to tumors with low differentiation.

Abstract
In this paper, a new, simple and rapid method for the analysis of steroids by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) is presented. A good resolution of the 12 steroids is obtained within 35 min with a gradient elution using a binary mobile phase composed of methanol and water. The analytical column used was 2.0mm x 150mm, packed with BDS (particle size 5microm) and the mobile phase flow rate was 0.2mL/min. Nebulizer gas flow rate and drift tube temperature, the two critical parameters for determining the reproducibility and signal-to-noise ratio of ELSD were 2.00mL/min and 95 degrees C, respectively. The response of the ELSD was non-linear as a result of basic light-scattering principles, the calibration curve by plotting lnY vs lnX (Y, X stand for peak area and concentration, respectively) shows a good linearity in the range of 5-50mg/L with a correlation coefficient higher than 0.99 for individual steroid and with relative standard deviation less than 6.92%. This method has been applied to the determination of steroids in milk powder and birds' feces, solid phase extraction on reverse phase bonded C18 (5mL/500mg) was used to treat the samples efficiently. The recoveries of the steroids were between 84.0%-102.8%.

Abstract
The National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP) recognizes laboratories capable of analyzing lead in paints, soils, and dusts. NLLAP requires successful participation in the Environmental Lead Proficiency Analytical Testing (ELPAT) program. For paint chip analyses, laboratory-to-laboratory variability is about 10% relative standard deviation (RSD) for lead levels near 0.5%, the HUD definition of lead-based paint. For soil analyses, RSDs are about 9 to 10% near relevant federal soil standards and 16% near the lowest state bare soil standard that currently exists. For dust wipe analyses, RSDs range from 10 to 16% for lead levels near relevant HUD standards. Of participating laboratories, 92 to 93% consistently meet ELPAT performance limits. A variety of analytical methods gives similar results. No conclusive significant differences were found among most frequently used hotplate and microwave sample preparation techniques. In addition, several participating laboratories have successfully used ultrasonic extraction methods, a method suitable for use at abatement sites. The three most frequently used instrumental techniques, flame atomic absorption (FAA), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and graphite furnace atomic absorption show no statistically significant differences in ability to meet ELPAT performance limits. However, small statistically significant biases between these methods sometimes occur. The magnitude of biases is less than 5% of the corresponding laboratory mean near relevant federal standards except for lead levels near the lowest HUD lead wipe standard, where biases can be as high as 8%. Other instrumental methods that have been used successfully include ICP-mass spectroscopy, direct current plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy, dithizone spectrophotometry, and anodic stripping voltametry.
