Abstract
Background and Purpose After surgical resection of brain metastases (BM), radiotherapy (RT) is indicated. Postoperative stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) reduces the risk of local progression and neurocognitive decline compared to whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Aside from the optimal dose and fractionation, little is known about the combination of systemic therapy and postoperative fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT), especially regarding tumour control and toxicity. Methods In this study, 105 patients receiving postoperative fSRT with 35 Gy in 7 fractions performed with Cyberknife were retrospectively reviewed. Overall survival (OS), local control (LC) and total intracranial brain control (TIBC) were analysed via Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify prognostic factors. Results Median follow-up was 20.8 months. One-year TIBC was 61.6% and one-year LC was 98.6%. Median OS was 28.7 (95%-CI: 16.9-40.5) months. In total, local progression (median time not reached) occurred in 2.0% and in 20.4% radiation-induced contrast enhancements (RICE) of the cavity (after median of 14.3 months) were diagnosed. Absence of extracranial metastases was identified as an independent prognostic factor for superior OS (p = <0.001) in multivariate analyses, while a higher Karnofsky performance score (KPS) was predictive for longer OS in univariate analysis (p = 0.041). Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) developed in 13% of patients. Conclusion FSRT after surgical resection of BM is an effective and safe treatment approach with excellent local control and acceptable toxicity. Further prospective randomized trials are needed to establish standardized therapeutic guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the diagnostic tests used and their comparative performance in dogs diagnosed with sinonasal aspergillosis in the United Kingdom. A secondary objective was to describe the signalment, clinical findings and common clinicopathologic abnormalities in sinonasal aspergillosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multi-centre retrospective survey was performed involving 23 referral centres in the United Kingdom to identify dogs diagnosed with sinonasal aspergillosis from January 2011 to December 2021. Dogs were included if fungal plaques were seen during rhinoscopy or if ancillary testing (via histopathology, culture, cytology, serology or PCR) was positive and other differential diagnoses were excluded. RESULTS A total of 662 cases were entered into the database across the 23 referral centres. Four hundred and seventy-five cases met the study inclusion criteria. Of these, 419 dogs had fungal plaques and compatible clinical signs. Fungal plaques were not seen in 56 dogs with turbinate destruction that had compatible clinical signs and a positive ancillary test result. Ancillary diagnostics were performed in 312 of 419 (74%) dogs with observed fungal plaques permitting calculation of sensitivity of cytology as 67%, fungal culture 59%, histopathology 47% and PCR 71%. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The sensitivities of ancillary diagnostics in this study were lower than previously reported challenging the clinical utility of such tests in sinonasal aspergillosis. Treatment and management decisions should be based on a combination of diagnostics including imaging findings, visual inspection, and ancillary testing, rather than ancillary tests alone.

Abstract
SMAC/Diablo is known as a pro-apoptotic mitochondrial protein released into the cytosol in response to apoptotic signals. We recently reported SMAC overexpression in cancers as essential for cell proliferation and tumor growth due to non-apoptotic functions including phospholipid synthesis regulation. These functions may be associated with its interactions with partner proteins. Using a peptide array with 768 peptides derived from 11 selected SMAC-interacting proteins, we identified SMAC-interacting sequences. These SMAC-binding sequences were produced as cell penetrating peptides targeted to the cytosol, mitochondria, or nucleus, inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis in several cell lines. For in-vivo study, a survivin/BIRC5-derived peptide was selected due to its overexpression in many cancers, and involvement in mitosis, apoptosis, autophagy, cell proliferation, inflammation, and immune responses, as a target for cancer therapy. Specifically, a SMAC-targeting survivin/BIRC5-derived peptide, given intratumorally or intravenously, strongly inhibited lung tumor growth, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and inflammation, induced apoptosis, and remodeled the tumor microenvironment. The peptide promoted tumor infiltration of CD8+ cells and increased cell-intrinsic PD-1/PD-L1 expression, resulting in cancer cell self-destruction and increased tumor cell death, preserving immune cells. Thus, targeting the interaction between the multifunctional proteins SMAC and survivin represents a innovative therapeutic cancer paradigm.

Abstract
The polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. This is the first experimental evidence of the hyperon polarization by the triangular flow originating from the initial density fluctuations. The amplitudes of the sine modulation for the second and third harmonic results are comparable in magnitude, increase from central to peripheral collisions, and show a mild p_{T} dependence. The azimuthal angle dependence of the polarization follows the vorticity pattern expected due to elliptic and triangular anisotropic flow, and qualitatively disagrees with most hydrodynamic model calculations based on thermal vorticity and shear induced contributions. The model results based on one of existing implementations of the shear contribution lead to a correct azimuthal angle dependence, but predict centrality and p_{T} dependence that still disagree with experimental measurements. Thus, our results provide stringent constraints on the thermal vorticity and shear-induced contributions to hyperon polarization. Comparison to previous measurements at RHIC and the LHC for the second-order harmonic results shows little dependence on the collision system size and collision energy.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women in the world and is the second leading malignancy among Bangladeshi women. Persistent infection with high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is an important cause of development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) followed by cancer. Bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common treatable vaginal infection which can disrupt the balanced vaginal ecosystem and its innate protective mechanisms against infection, can play an essential role in the acquisition and persistence of high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection. This cross sectional study was conducted to detect the HR-HPV (HPV-16 and HPV-18) infection among bacterial vaginosis positive patient in the Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College (MMC), Bangladesh, from March 2018 to February 2019. A total of 300 endocervical swabs and high vaginal swabs were collected from the VIA (Visual inspection with acetic acid) outdoor clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of Mymensingh Medical college Hospital. HPV DNA was tested among all 300 cases by nested PCR. Typing of HPV 16 and HPV 18 was done among HPV DNA positive cases with BV and intermediate flora by multiplex PCR. BV was diagnosed according to Nugent criteria by using the gram stained smear of high vaginal swab. A total of 57/300 (19.0%) samples were positive for HPV DNA by nested PCR. Of the total 300 cases 78(26.0%) had BV, 38(13.0%) had intermediate flora and 184(61.0%) had normal vaginal flora. HPV DNA was more positive in patients having intermediate flora 08/38 (21.05%) followed by the patients having normal vaginal flora 37/184 (20.11%) and BV 12/78 (15.38%). Among the 12 BV patients who were also HPV DNA positive (83.33%) were belong to high risk HPV (type 16 and 18) group and among them 08(66.67%) were HPV-16 and 02(16.67%) were HPV-18. But among 08 HPV DNA positive intermediate flora containing patients only 01(12.5%) were belong to HR-HPV (type 16 and no type 18 was detected).

Abstract
Nephrotic syndrome is the most common glomerular disease affecting children. Hypothyroidism is one of the most important complications which occur due to urinary loss of protein bound thyroid hormones, such as thyroxin binding globulin, transthyretin and albumin. This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pediatric, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Bangladesh from February 2018 to October 2019. This study was carried out to find out the thyroid profile in children with nephrotic syndrome and compared with thyroid profile of other acute illness in children. Total 122 children aged 2-12 years, further subdivided into Group A (n=61) suffering from nephrotic syndrome (1st attack, infrequent relapse) and Group B (n=61) other disease like viral fever, pneumonia, bronchiolitis, diarrhoea, UTI. Demographic details of patients and their relevant clinical details were obtained by an interviewer administered questionnaire. Blood for free T4, TSH were taken and compared between both groups. The mean FT4 values in Group A and Group B were 16.09±22.32fmol/ml and 68.22±11.65fmol/ml respectively, whereas the TSH level was significantly higher in Group A than controls (5.42±1.04 vs. 3.53±1.44). The T4 levels in nephrotic syndrome (Group A) patients were low. Analysis was done by using SPSS 22.0 version for windows software. Continuous and catagorical parameters were compared by unpaired 't' test and Chi-Square test. A p-value of 0.05 was considered significant. Hypothyroidism was found more in younger children i.e. age less than 6 years. This study concluded that children with nephrotic syndrome have a state of hypothyroidism.

Abstract
Otomycosis, a fungal infection of external ear, is challenging for both patients and otolaryngologist as it requires long term treatment and follow up. Candida spp. is second common organism causing otomycosis with Aspergillus being first. Among Candida species, C. albicans is considered as most common but in recent years there is increasing incidence of Non albicans Candida (NAC) species with greater resistance and recurrence. This descriptive type of observational study was planned to determine the species distribution and antifungal susceptibility of Candida spp. causing otomycosis. From March 2021 to February 2022, 60 patients clinically suspected of Candida associated otomycosis at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh were enrolled. Specimens were taken by an otorhinolaryngologist. After culture and microscopic examination, isolated Candida species were identified by phenotypic and genotypic method and antifungal susceptibility was determined at Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College. From 60 samples 18(30.0%) were positive for Candida on microscopy and culture. Of the isolates, C. albicans were 2(11.11%) and Non albicans Candida (NAC) 16(88.89%). Five different NAC species were identified of which C. parapsilosis was predominant 5(27.77%) followed by C. tropicalis 4(22.22%) and C. famata 3(16.67%). Rare species of C. ciferrii 2(11.11)%, Kodamaea ohmeri 2(11.11%) were isolated. Candida spp. showed highest resistance to Clotrimazole 8(44.0%) followed by Itraconazole 6(33.0%), Nystatin 4(22.0%) and Fluconazole 3(17.0%). C. ciferrii and Kodamaea ohmeri showed resistance to all antifungals except Nystatin. Outcomes from this study showed a different picture of species distribution, with isolation of rare and emerging drug resistant threatening species like C. ciferri and Kodamea ohmeri which necessitates more detailed survey.

Abstract
The elliptic (v_{2}) and triangular (v_{3}) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central ^{3}He+Au, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV are measured as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) at midrapidity (|η|<0.9), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at |η|<0.9. While the v_{2}(p_{T}) values depend on the colliding systems, the v_{3}(p_{T}) values are system independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from subnucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.

Abstract
We report here the first observation of directed flow (v_{1}) of the hypernuclei _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H in mid-central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV at RHIC. These data are taken as part of the beam energy scan program carried out by the STAR experiment. From 165×10^{6} events in 5%-40% centrality, about 8400 _{Λ}^{3}H and 5200 _{Λ}^{4}H candidates are reconstructed through two- and three-body decay channels. We observe that these hypernuclei exhibit significant directed flow. Comparing to that of light nuclei, it is found that the midrapidity v_{1} slopes of _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H follow baryon number scaling, implying that the coalescence is the dominant mechanism for these hypernuclei production in the 3 GeV Au+Au collisions.

Abstract
We report the triton (t) production in midrapidity (|y|<0.5) Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7-200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment from the first phase of the beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The nuclear compound yield ratio (N_{t}×N_{p}/N_{d}^{2}), which is predicted to be sensitive to the fluctuation of local neutron density, is observed to decrease monotonically with increasing charged-particle multiplicity (dN_{ch}/dη) and follows a scaling behavior. The dN_{ch}/dη dependence of the yield ratio is compared to calculations from coalescence and thermal models. Enhancements in the yield ratios relative to the coalescence baseline are observed in the 0%-10% most central collisions at 19.6 and 27 GeV, with a significance of 2.3σ and 3.4σ, respectively, giving a combined significance of 4.1σ. The enhancements are not observed in peripheral collisions or model calculations without critical fluctuation, and decreases with a smaller p_{T} acceptance. The physics implications of these results on the QCD phase structure and the production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.

Abstract
We report on measurements of sequential ϒ suppression in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) through both the dielectron and dimuon decay channels. In the 0%-60% centrality class, the nuclear modification factors (R_{AA}), which quantify the level of yield suppression in heavy-ion collisions compared to p+p collisions, for ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) are 0.40±0.03(stat)±0.03(sys)±0.09(norm) and 0.26±0.08(stat)±0.02(sys)±0.06(norm), respectively, while the upper limit of the ϒ(3S) R_{AA} is 0.17 at a 95% confidence level. This provides experimental evidence that the ϒ(3S) is significantly more suppressed than the ϒ(1S) at RHIC. The level of suppression for ϒ(1S) is comparable to that observed at the much higher collision energy at the Large Hadron Collider. These results point to the creation of a medium at RHIC whose temperature is sufficiently high to strongly suppress excited ϒ states.

Abstract
We report the beam energy and collision centrality dependence of fifth and sixth order cumulants (C_{5}, C_{6}) and factorial cumulants (κ_{5}, κ_{6}) of net-proton and proton number distributions, from center-of-mass energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) 3 GeV to 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Cumulant ratios of net-proton (taken as proxy for net-baryon) distributions generally follow the hierarchy expected from QCD thermodynamics, except for the case of collisions at 3 GeV. The measured values of C_{6}/C_{2} for 0%-40% centrality collisions show progressively negative trend with decreasing energy, while it is positive for the lowest energy studied. These observed negative signs are consistent with QCD calculations (for baryon chemical potential, μ_{B}≤110 MeV) which contains the crossover transition range. In addition, for energies above 7.7 GeV, the measured proton κ_{n}, within uncertainties, does not support the two-component (Poisson+binomial) shape of proton number distributions that would be expected from a first-order phase transition. Taken in combination, the hyperorder proton number fluctuations suggest that the structure of QCD matter at high baryon density, μ_{B}∼750 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV is starkly different from those at vanishing μ_{B}∼24 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and higher collision energies.

Abstract
High-protein dairy powders are ingredients mainly produced by spray-drying, then subjected to aging during transport and storage. They often undergo physicochemical changes at this stage, such as the development of the Maillard reaction, primarily because of their intrinsic chemical properties, but also as a result of nonoptimal storage conditions. Components present at the particle surface are the first to be targeted by moisture and other environmental disruptions. Consequently, the identification, control, and prediction of particle surface components are useful to anticipate the effect of powder aging on product quality. Here, a new diafiltration method is proposed which fractionates proteins from a binary colloidal dispersion of 80% casein micelles and 20% whey proteins, according to their presence at the surface or core of the particle. This method shows that whey proteins are strongly enriched at the particle surface, whereas casein micelles are located at the core of the particles. This protocol also allows the identification of the rehydration kinetics for each rehydrated protein layer of the particle, revealing that 2 distinct forms of swelling occur: (1) a rapid swelling and elution of whey proteins present at the particle surface, and (2) a swelling of casein micelles located below the whey proteins, associated with a slow elution of casein micelles from the particles being rehydrated.

Abstract
CONTEXT The emergence of zoonotic viruses in the last decades culminating with COVID-19 and challenges posed by the resistance of RNA viruses to antiviral drugs requires the development of new antiviral drugs. OBJECTIVE This review identifies natural products isolated from Asian and Pacific medicinal plants with in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity towards RNA viruses and analyses their distribution, molecular weights, solubility and modes of action. MATERIALS AND METHODS All data in this review was compiled from Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, ChemSpider, PubChem and library search from 1961 to 2022. RESULTS Out of about 350 molecules identified, 43 phenolics, 31 alkaloids, and 28 terpenes were very strongly active against at least one type of RNA virus. These natural products are mainly planar and amphiphilic, with a molecular mass between 200 and 400 g/mol and target viral genome replication. Hydroxytyrosol, silvestrol, lycorine, tylophorine and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate with IC50 below 0.01 µg/mL and selectivity index (S.I.) above 100 have the potential to be used for the development of anti-RNA virus leads. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The medicinal plants of Asia and the Pacific are a rich source of natural products with the potential to be developed as lead for the treatment of RNA viral infections.

Abstract
BackgroundColchicine, an approved treatment for gout, has been trialled in many diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA), due to its anti-inflammatory effects. However, its efficacy and safety remain unclear in OA.ObjectivesThis systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of colchicine for the treatment of OA.1MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Central were searched from inception through November 2020. Two reviewers independently screened for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing colchicine with placebo or other active-comparators for the treatment of OA (knee, hand, or hip OA), extracted data, and performed Cochrane risk of bias assessments.ResultsThe search retrieved 391 articles after removing duplicates, and 16 full-text articles were reviewed for eligibility (Figure 1A). Ten RCTs, nine in knee OA, one in hand OA, consisting of 847 patients (429 in colchicine arm, 409 in control arm) were included. RCTs were conducted between 2002 and 2021; three in India, two in Iran and Turkey, and one each in Australia, Singapore, and Iraq; follow-up period ranged 2 to 12 months. Moderate-quality evidence showed no clinically important pain reduction with colchicine compared to placebo in knee/hand OA patients (standardised mean difference [SMD], -0.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.55 to 0.22) (Figure 1B). Moderate-quality evidence showed no improvement in dysfunction with colchicine compared to placebo in knee OA patients (SMD, -0.37; 95% CI, -0.87 to 0.13). Colchicine showed an acceptable safety profile with AEs/SAEs comparable to placebo (Figure 1C)ConclusionCurrent evidence does not conclusively suggest a benefit of colchicine in reducing pain and improving physical function in hand/knee OA patients. Future trials should focus on the sub-groups of OA patients with local or systemic evidence of inflammation and/or mineralisation who may benefit from colchicine.References[1]Rheumatology (Oxford). 2018 Jan 1;57(suppl_1):i4-i11.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundPausing methotrexate (MTX) for two to four weeks, improved immunogenicity of influenza vaccination in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), albeit a risk of disease flare (1). This guided the framing of guidelines on MTX withdrawal for COVID-19 vaccination (2). However, evidence for MTX withdrawal for COVID-19 vaccination is limited to observational studies only.ObjectivesTo compare the efficacy and safety of holding MTX after each (MIVAC 1) and only after the second dose (MIVAC II) of the ChAdOx1 vaccine versus continuation of MTX in two randomized controlled trials (RCTs).MethodsTwo single centre, investigator-blinded, RCTs were conducted in patients with RA or Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) on stable doses of MTX without prior COVID-19 (CTRI reg. no. MIVAC I: CTRI/2021/07/03463 & MIVAC II: CTRI/2021/07/035307). In MIVAC I, unvaccinated patients were randomised (1:1) to hold or continue MTX for two weeks after each dose of the vaccine. MIVAC II included patients who had continued MTX during the first dose of ChAdOx1 and were randomised (1:1) to hold or continue MTX for 2 weeks after the second vaccine dose. The primary outcome for both the trials was the anti-Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) antibody titres measured four weeks after the second vaccine dose (per protocol analysis). Secondary outcome was the flare rate, defined as an increase in disease activity scores (DAS28/cDAPSA) or physician intent to hike DMARDs.Results250 patients were randomized for MIVAC 1 and 178 for MIVAC II and after due exclusions, 158 and 157 were eligible for analysis respectively (Figure 1). In MIVAC I, median anti-RBD titres were significantly high in the MTX hold group [2484 (1050-4388) versus 1147(433-2360), p=0.001] but the flare rate was higher in the hold group [20 (25%) versus 6(8%) p=0.005] compared to continue group. In MIVAC II median anti-RBD titres were significantly high for the MTX hold group [2553 (1792-4823) versus 990 (356-2252), p=0.001] when compared to continue group but there was no difference in the flare rate between the groups [9(11.8%) and 4(7.9%), p=0.15] (Table 1). Since both were parallel studies in similar population, MTX hold arms across both the trials were compared for anti-RBD titres and flare. There was no difference in the anti-RBD titres [p=0.2] between the groups. In MIVAC I, 29(36.25%) patients had reported flare (19 in either first or second dose, 10 for both doses) when compared to MIVAC II where only 9(11.84%) patients had reported flare after the second dose (P <0.001).Table 1.Baseline demographics and key resultsVariableMIVAC IMIVAC IIMTX HoldMTX ContinuePMTX HoldMTX ContinueP valueN=80N=78valueN=76N=81Age†48 (38-53.3)49 (39-59)0.1953 (42.3-59)53(50-62)0.14Female (%) ‡73 (91.3)75 (96.2)0.3365 (85.5)70 (86.4)>0.99RA (%) ‡69(86.3)69 (93.2)70 (85.6)80 (87.7)PsA (%) ‡11(13.8)6 (8.1)0.316 (7.9)1 (1.2)0.057DAS28†2.7 (2.4-3.2)2.6 (2-3.3)0.62.7(2.3-3.4)2.8 (2.1-3.5)0.78cDAPSA †2(3-4.5)2.5(1.3-3.8)0.463(2.8-3)30.15Prednisolone (%) ‡29 (36.3)23(31.1)0.424(31.6)26 (32.1)>0.99MTX mg/week†17.5 (10-25)15 (10-20)0.05715 (9.4-25)17.5(7.5-25)0.92Anti- RBD antibody titres post second dose (IU/mL) †2484 (1050-4388.8)1147.5 (433.5-2360.3)<0.0012553.5 (1792.5-4823.8)990.5 (356.1-2252.5)<0.001Flare (N%) ‡Post first dose20 (25)6 (8)0.005NANAPost second dose19 (23.8)10(13.3)0.19 (11.8)4 (7.9)0.15All analysis as per protocol population.†Median (interquartile range): Mann Whitney U test.‡ N (%): Fisher Exact test.

Abstract
Understanding gluon density distributions and how they are modified in nuclei are among the most important goals in nuclear physics. In recent years, diffractive vector meson production measured in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at heavy-ion colliders has provided a new tool for probing the gluon density. In this Letter, we report the first measurement of J/ψ photoproduction off the deuteron in UPCs at the center-of-mass energy sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV in d+Au collisions. The differential cross section as a function of momentum transfer -t is measured. In addition, data with a neutron tagged in the deuteron-going zero-degree calorimeter is investigated for the first time, which is found to be consistent with the expectation of incoherent diffractive scattering at low momentum transfer. Theoretical predictions based on the color glass condensate saturation model and the leading twist approximation nuclear shadowing model are compared with the data quantitatively. A better agreement with the saturation model has been observed. With the current measurement, the results are found to be directly sensitive to the gluon density distribution of the deuteron and the deuteron breakup process, which provides insights into the nuclear gluonic structure.

Abstract
Scrub typhus is one of the leading causes of undifferentiated treatable febrile illness in Asia pacific region. It is grossly under diagnosed in many tropical countries of South Asia including Bangladesh, due to wide range of non-specific clinical presentations, low index of suspicion among clinicians, limited awareness and lack of accurate diagnostic facilities. This cross sectional observational study was conducted at department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from March 2019 to February 2020 enrolling 113 diagnosed cases of scrub typhus by Immunochromatographic test (ICT) and / or Nested PCR to characterize the socio-demographic and clinico-epidemiological features of scrub typhus in Mymensingh area. Majority of the scrub typhus cases came from rural areas (63.83%) and there was a slight female predominance (52.21%). The young (32.74%) and the young-adult age group (28.31%) were mostly affected. Most of the scrub typhus cases were housewives (30.98%), followed by farmers (23.89%) and students (21.23%). All the enrolled cases presented with fever. Other findings were myalgia (76.10%), headache (56.63%), cough (30.97%), vomiting (12.38%) and Respiratory distress (9.73%). Typical eschar of scrub typhus was present only in 9(7.96%) cases and 4(3.53%) patients had rashes on their skin. Few cases (3.53%) had jaundice and 15.96% cases were anaemic. Oliguria (7.96%) and neck rigidity (1.76%) were also documented. Most of the Nested PCR positive scrub typhus cases were documented during late rainy season and beginning of winter months. Findings of the study may offer increased awareness about high burden of scrub typhus as well as heightened suspicion among clinicians for early diagnosis, timely treatment and prevention of complications.

Abstract
Among the quinolones, fluoroquinolones are broad spectrum antimicrobial agents used for treating many clinical infections including Salmonellosis. Although high level of resistance to fluoroquinolones remains low in Salmonella but reduced susceptibility is increasing worldwide. Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) of qnr type (qnrA, B and S) has been identified now a day in several enterobacterial species including Salmonella spp. This cross-sectional study was held at department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from March 2019 to February 2020. This study was conducted to determine the current quinolone resistance pattern and to detect the presence of qnrA, qnrB and qnrS genes among Salmonella isolates. Antimicrobial susceptibility test of 36 Salmonella isolates were done by disc diffusion method. MIC of ciprofloxacin was detected by agar dilution method. Then amplification with specific primers of qnrA, qnrB and qnrS genes were performed for all Salmonella isolates. The present study observed 80.5% resistance to nalidixic acid, 33.3% to ciprofloxacin and 19.4% to ofloxacin by disc diffusion method. qnr A gene was detected in 2(5.5%) isolates, where as qnrS was detected in 5 (13.8%) isolates. None of the isolates was positive for qnrB gene. All the qnrA positive isolates showed resistance to Ciprofloxacin (MIC=128μg/ml) and Ofloxacin. In conclusion, presence of qnr genes in the study isolates is alarming, because, rapid dissemination might occur due to conjugative plasmid mediated horizontal transfer.

Abstract
Scrub typhus, caused by the bacterium- Orientia tsutsugamushi is one of the leading causes of undifferentiated treatable febrile illness in Asia pacific region. It is grossly under diagnosed in many tropical countries of South Asia including Bangladesh, due to wide range of non-specific clinical presentations, low index of suspicion among clinicians, limited awareness and lack of accurate diagnostic facilities. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College to diagnose scrub typhus by rapid Immunochromatographic test (ICT) as well as molecular detection of O. tsutsugamushi by Nested PCR and automated nucleotide sequencing among suspected febrile patients in Mymensingh, Bangladesh during 2019-20. Blood samples were collected from 402 febrile patients of suspected Rickettsial illness, referred from inpatient and outpatient departments of Medicine and Pediatrics, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH). Among the enrolled 402 patients, 89 samples (22.13%) were seropositive by Immunochromatographic test (ICT) and 65 samples (16.16%) were positive for O. tsutsugamushi DNA by Nested PCR, targeting 47KDa gene. Therefore, 113/402 (28.10%) samples were positive for scrub typhus by PCR and/ or ICT. Highest number of patients was detected positive by nested PCR during the first 5-10 days of fever but only 2 cases were positive after 20 days. In case of ICT, highest positivity for only IgM (8.13%) and both antibodies (2.43%) were documented in first 5-10 days of fever, but IgG positivity was highest (41.66) in >20 days of fever. From 65 PCR positive samples, automated nucleotide sequencing was performed on 20 randomly selected samples and all were genetically confirmed to be O. tsutsugamushi.

Abstract
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that is one of the important infectious causes of Pyrexia of Unknown Origin (PUO). The objective of the present study was to determine the seropositivity and molecular detection of human brucellosis among the patients with pyrexia of unknown origin on both risk and non-risk group of individuals in greater Mymensingh. A total of 400 blood samples were randomly collected from pyretic patients started from September 2018 to August 2019. Questionnaires were used to collect data on both risk and non-risk group of individuals. All samples were initially screened for anti-Brucella antibodies using the Brucella-specific latex agglutination test. For accurate investigation, seropositive as well as seronegative serum samples were tested by BCSP31 Brucella genus-specific TaqMan real-time PCR. Overall 32(8%) cases were positive out of 400 samples by Brucella-specific latex agglutination test and/or BCSP31 Brucella genus-specific real-time PCR. Brucella-specific latex agglutination test documented 7% (28/400) positivity for brucellosis. 22(5.5%) samples found Brucella genus-specific real-time PCR positive out of 400 samples. Most real-time PCR positive cases were found from sero-positive samples of risk group population (15/32). Sero-negative but real-time PCR positive cases also found only from risk group population (4/32). There were 10 seropositive cases where real-time PCR was negative. In addition to Brucella-specific latex agglutination test as a screening test, Brucella genus-specific real-time PCR was performed for confirmation and also to avoid unjustified costs, drug toxicity, and masking of other potentially dangerous diseases.

Abstract
Biocides, including disinfectants and antiseptics, are used for a variety of topical and hard surface applications in health care facilities. Biocides play a significant role for preventing and controlling nosocomial infections. However, failures in the antimicrobial activities of biocides have been reported. The resistance mechanism to disinfectants is usually determined by genes which are related to resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds, namely, qacE, qacΔE1 that are found in Gram-negative bacteria. The aim of this study is to detect the prevalence of Biocides resistance genes, qacE and qacΔE1, in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas spp. It was carried out from March 2017 to July 2018 in the department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Samples were collected from Outpatient of ENT department, MMCH. In this study, 300 clinical samples of CSOM cases were tested by the PCR method. The present study shows detection of biocide resistance genes (qacE, qacΔE1) among 87 isolated Pseudomonas spp by uniplex PCR. Among 72 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 67(93.05%) had the gene qacEΔ1 and 25(34.72%) had the gene qacE. In addition other 15 Pseudomonas spp 3(20%) isolates had the qacEΔ1 gene and 2(13.33%) isolates had the qacE gene. In this study there is a marked difference in detection of the qacEΔ1 gene between the MDR and non MDR P. aeruginosa isolates. The qacEΔ1 was identified in 50 of 54(92.59%) MDR isolates and 7 of 18(38.89%) non MDR strains respectively. While gene qacE was detect 25(46.29%) MDR isolates and did not show any qacEΔ1gene in non MDR isolates. This study shows that the genes, qacE, qacΔE1 are widespread among Pseudomonas aeruginosa, they are higher in MDR strains than non MDR strains.

Abstract
With tendon transfers or reconstructions, the tenorrhaphy must be strong enough to withstand early mobilization in the immediate postoperative period to decrease adhesion formation and optimize functional outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare the strength, bulk, and gliding resistance of four common tendon-to-tendon attachment constructs. A biomechanical study was performed utilizing 80 cadaveric tendons to compare four common tendon tenorrhaphy constructs: the end-weave (EW); Pulvertaft (PT); single-pass, side-to-side (SP-STS); and simple, side-to-side (STS) attachments. The primary outcome measures investigated included tenorrhaphy morphology, gliding resistance, tensile strength, and deformation at failure of the different constructs. A total of 40 tendon pairs, 10 per repair group, were constructed, biomechanically evaluated, and outcomes were compared. There were no significant differences in the cross-sectional area of the native tendon (p = 0.334) or repair site (p = 0.564) and no difference in the added bulk of the repair (p = 0.663) between the repair groups. Gliding resistance was not significantly different between the repair groups (p = 0.110). The SP-STS repair was significantly stronger (p < 0.001), stiffer (p < 0.001), and exhibited less displacement at peak load (p = 0.004), and greater force generation at 1 cm of displacement (p = 0.002) compared to the other constructs. The SP-STS is significantly stronger, without a significant difference in bulk and gliding resistance compared to the PT, EW, STS repairs. SP-STS can be utilized in tendon transfers and reconstructions to safely permit early active mobilization.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of ESBL genes among A. baumannii isolates. In this cross sectional study, 49 Acinetobacter spp. were isolated from various clinical samples from March 2019 to February 2020 conducted in the department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Clinical samples including endotracheal aspirates, wound swab/pus, urine and blood. A total of 380 samples were analyzed. Growth was obtained in 34.21% of the samples yielding 130 organisms. Out of 130 organisms, 49(37.69%) were Acinetobacter spp. Among 49 Acinetobacter spp, 39(79.59%) were Acinetobacter baumannii which was identified by PCR targeting OXA-51 like gene. Amplification of the ESBL encoding genes, namely CTX-M, TEM, SHV done by molecular technique PCR. The most antibacterial resistance was against ceftriaxone (79.48%) and lower resistance only showed in colistin (12.82%). All the isolates were sensitive to tigecycline. The distribution of ESBLs genes such as TEM 20(51.28%), CTX-M 16(41.02%) and SHV 0(0%). The high resistance to most of the antibiotics among the studied strains and also a high prevalence of TEM gene in A. baumannii strains found in our study gives alarming sign towards the treatment complexity of these strains.

Abstract
We will present the latest developments in CutLang, the runtime interpreter of a recently-developed analysis description language (ADL) for collider data analysis. ADL is a domain-specific, declarative language that describes the contents of an analysis in a standard and unambiguous way, independent of any computing framework. In ADL, analyses are written in human-readable plain text files, separating object, variable and event selection definitions in blocks, with a syntax that includes mathematical and logical operations, comparison and optimisation operators, reducers, four-vector algebra and commonly used functions. Adopting ADLs would bring numerous benefits to the LHC experimental and phenomenological communities, ranging from analysis preservation beyond the lifetimes of experiments or analysis software to facilitating the abstraction, design, visualization, validation, combination, reproduction, interpretation and overall communication of the analysis contents. Since their initial release, ADL and CutLang have been used for implementing and running numerous LHC analyses. In this process, the original syntax from CutLang v1 has been modified for better ADL compatibility, and the interpreter has been adapted to work with that syntax, resulting in the current release v2. Furthermore, CutLang has been enhanced to handle object combinatorics, to include tables and weights, to save events at any analysis stage, to benefit from multi-core/multi-CPU hardware among other improvements. In this contribution, these and other enhancements are discussed in details. In addition, real life examples from LHC analyses are presented together with a user manual.

Abstract
Background. Endometriosis is defined as presence of endometrial glands outside the uterine cavity and it most commonly involves the structures within the pelvic cavity. Thoracic endometriosis syndrome usually presents as pneumothorax, hemoptysis, hemothorax or pulmonary nodules. Endometriosis presenting as hemorrhagic pleural effusion is rarely reported.
Objectives. The aim of the study was to describe pleural endometriosis presenting as hemorrhagic pleural effusion and to insist on the role of medical thoracoscopy in making the diagnosis with the help of a case report.
Methods. A case report of pleural endometriosis as a non-resolving hemorrhagic pleural effusion is presented.
Results. A 28-years old female on treatment for her primary infertility presented with non-resolving bloody pleural effusion and she was on empirical anti-tubercular drugs for the last four months. Medical thoracoscopy revealed flat brownish grey plaques over the diaphragmatic pleura and the histology of pleural tissue revealed pleural endometriosis. She was initiated on gonadotropin releasing hormone-leuprolide and there was some clinico-radiological improvement.
Conclusions. Thoracic endometriosis should be considered as one of the differentials for pleural effusion in female patient especially on treatment for infertility. Medical thoracoscopy should be the investigation of choice for evaluating pleural effusions before initiating empirical treatments.

Abstract
While a variety of therapeutic options continue to emerge for COVID-19 treatment, convalescent plasma (CP) has been used as a possible treatment option early in the pandemic. One of the most significant challenges with CP therapy, however, both when defining its efficacy and implementing its approach clinically, is accurately and efficiently characterizing an otherwise heterogenous therapeutic treatment. Given current limitations, our goal is to leverage a SARS antibody testing platform with a newly developed automated endpoint titer analysis program to rapidly define SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels in CP donors and hospitalized patients. A newly developed antibody detection platform was used to perform a serial dilution enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgM, and IgA SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Data were then analyzed using commercially available software, GraphPad Prism, or a newly developed program developed in Python called TiterScape, to analyze endpoint titers. Endpoint titer calculations and analysis times were then compared between the two analysis approaches. Serial dilution analysis of SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels revealed a high level of heterogeneity between individuals. Commercial platform analysis required significant time for manual data input and extrapolated endpoint titer values when the last serial dilution was above the endpoint cutoff, occasionally producing erroneously high results. By contrast, TiterScape processed 1008 samples for endpoint titer results in roughly 14 minutes compared with the 8 hours required for the commercial software program analysis. Equally important, results generated by TiterScape and Prism were highly similar, with differences averaging 1.26 ± 0.2 percent (mean ± SD). The pandemic has created unprecedented challenges when seeking to accurately test large numbers of individuals for SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels with a rapid turnaround time. ELISA platforms capable of serial dilution analysis coupled with a highly flexible software interface may provide a useful tool when seeking to define endpoint titers in a high-throughput manner. Immunohematology 2021;37:33-43. While a variety of therapeutic options continue to emerge for COVID-19 treatment, convalescent plasma (CP) has been used as a possible treatment option early in the pandemic. One of the most significant challenges with CP therapy, however, both when defining its efficacy and implementing its approach clinically, is accurately and efficiently characterizing an otherwise heterogenous therapeutic treatment. Given current limitations, our goal is to leverage a SARS antibody testing platform with a newly developed automated endpoint titer analysis program to rapidly define SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels in CP donors and hospitalized patients. A newly developed antibody detection platform was used to perform a serial dilution enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgM, and IgA SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Data were then analyzed using commercially available software, GraphPad Prism, or a newly developed program developed in Python called TiterScape, to analyze endpoint titers. Endpoint titer calculations and analysis times were then compared between the two analysis approaches.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prognosis of patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains dismal. New cytotoxic agents such as nab-paclitaxel and liposomal irinotecan (nal-Iri) have extended the armamentarium of therapeutic options in the last years. Nowadays, sequential therapeutic strategies with moderately toxic chemotherapeutic protocols can be administered to the patients. However, prognostic and predictive biomarkers are still missing to identify those patients, which profit most from a "continuum of care" concept rather than receiving intensive first-line protocols such as FOLFIRINOX. To this end, we retrospectively evaluated the impact of the systemic inflammation as one essential hallmark of cancer in patients with advanced PDAC treated with sequential systemic. METHODS A cohort of 193 PDAC patients treated at our center from January 2005 to August 2011 were retrospectively evaluated for the following systemic inflammatory response (SIR) markers: neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) C-reactive protein (CRP), and the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS). SIR markers were correlated with clinico-pathological findings, response to chemotherapy and overall survival (OS) using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional models. RESULTS All evaluated SIR markers were significantly associated with OS in patients with metastatic disease but not in patients with locally advanced PDAC. Interestingly, all SIR markers were only prognostic in patients not receiving antibiotics as surrogate marker for systemic bacterial infections. Based on the evaluated SIR markers, we propose a new Systemic Inflammation Score (SIS), which significantly correlated with reduced OS (HR: 3.418 (1.802-6.488, p < 0.001)) and the likelihood of receiving further-line systemic therapies (p = 0.028). CONCLUSION Routinely assessed SIR biomarkers have potential to support therapeutic decision making in patients with metastatic PDAC.

Abstract
Adequate vascularisation is a key factor for successful fetal development. We hypothesized that Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF) family members regulate angiogenesis along with promoting fetal development and growth. In this experiment, we determined the expression and functional role of IGF family in placental compartments (caruncle; CAR, cotyledon; COT) during different stages of early pregnancy in the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Samples were collected from early pregnancy 1 (EP1, 28-45 days), early pregnancy 2 (EP2, 45-90 days), and third stage of estrous cycle (11-16 days), which was taken as control. In addition, the role of IGF1 on mRNA expression of vWF, StAR, CYP11A1, 3βHSD, PCNA, and BAX were elucidated in cultured trophoblast cells (TCC) obtained from EP2. Quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR), westernblot, and immunohistochemistry were done to investigate the gene expression, protein expression, and localization of examined factors, and RIA was also done to assess progesterone (P4) concentration. Expression of IGFs, its receptors and binding proteins were found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05) in both CAR and COT as compared to control during early pregnancy, except binding proteins IGFBP1, 3 and 4 which were significantly (p < 0.05) downregulated in COT with advancement of pregnancy. mRNA expression was consistent with the findings of immunoblotting and immunolocalization experiments. Trophoblasts cell culture (TCC) study showed a significant time and dose-dependent effect of IGF1 onsteroidogenic transcript, which was found to be maximum at 100 ng/ml that paralleled with P4 accretion in the media (p < 0.05). Further, IGF1 upregulated the transcripts of vWF, PCNA, and downregulated BAX at the same concentration (p < 0.05). Overall, our results demonstrated that the expression of IGFs is a site-specific phenomenon in placentome, which indicates autocrine/paracrine and endocrine function. Our in-vitro finding support that IGF1 plays a critical role in placental development by promoting angiogenesis, steroid synthesis, and cell proliferation during early pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of lymphatic complications after kidney transplantation varies considerably in the literature. This is partly because a universally accepted definition has not been established. This study aimed to propose an acceptable definition and severity grading system for lymphatic complications based on their management strategy. METHODS Relevant literature published in MEDLINE and Web of Science was searched systematically. A consensus for definition and a severity grading was then sought between 20 high-volume transplant centres. RESULTS Lymphorrhoea/lymphocele was defined in 32 of 87 included studies. Sixty-three articles explained how lymphatic complications were managed, but none graded their severity. The proposed definition of lymphorrhoea was leakage of more than 50 ml fluid (not urine, blood or pus) per day from the drain, or the drain site after removal of the drain, for more than 1 week after kidney transplantation. The proposed definition of lymphocele was a fluid collection of any size near to the transplanted kidney, after urinoma, haematoma and abscess have been excluded. Grade A lymphatic complications have a minor and/or non-invasive impact on the clinical management of the patient; grade B complications require non-surgical intervention; and grade C complications require invasive surgical intervention. CONCLUSION A clear definition and severity grading for lymphatic complications after kidney transplantation was agreed. The proposed definitions should allow better comparisons between studies.

Abstract
The present study documented the expression and functional role of Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) family and their receptors (Fibroblast growth factor receptor, FGFRs) in placenta (Cotyledon; COT, Caruncle; CAR) during different stages of pregnancy in water buffalo. Samples were collected from Early pregnancy 1 (EP1); Early pregnancy 2 (EP2); Mid pregnancy (MP) and Late pregnancy (LP) while diestrus stage of oestrus cycle (NP) was taken as control. In addition, modulatory role of FGF2 on mRNA expression of von Willebrand factor (vWF), Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), cytochrome P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage (CYP11A1), 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD) and BCL2 Associated X (BAX) were studied in cultured trophoblast cells (TCC), obtained from EP2. Real-time PCR (qPCR), Western blot, and immunohistochemistry were applied to investigate mRNA and protein expressions, and the localization of examined factors whereas, P4 secretion was assessed by RIA. The mRNA and protein expression of FGFs and its receptors were maximum (P < 0.05) during EP (EP1 and EP2) in COT. However, FGFR1 and FGFR4 were upregulated (P < 0.05) during EP2 and MP in COT. Similarly, the mRNA and protein expression of FGFs and its receptors were upregulated (P < 0.05) during all stages of pregnancy in CAR. FGF family members were localized in the cytoplasm of trophoblast cells as well as in fetal blood vessels. At 100 ng/ml dosage, FGF2 stimulated the transcript of vWF maximally (P < 0.05). P4 secretion in trophoblast cells treated with FGF2 was maximum with the highest dose at 72 h. These findings corroborate that FGF acts locally in the trophoblast cells to modulate steroid hormone viz. progesterone synthesis, promote angiogenesis and favors cell survivability indicating that this factor may play an essential role in the regulation of placental formation and function in buffalo.

Abstract
Animal populations will mediate the response of global biodiversity to environmental changes. Population models are thus important tools for both understanding and predicting animal responses to uncertain future conditions. Most approaches, however, are correlative and ignore the individual-level mechanisms that give rise to population dynamics. Here, we assess several existing population modelling approaches and find limitations to both 'correlative' and 'mechanistic' models. We advocate the need for a standardized mechanistic approach for linking individual mechanisms (physiology, behaviour, and evolution) to population dynamics in spatially explicit landscapes. Such an approach is potentially more flexible and informative than current population models. Key to realizing this goal, however, is overcoming current data limitations, the development and testing of eco-evolutionary theory to represent interactions between individual mechanisms, and standardized multi-dimensional environmental change scenarios which incorporate multiple stressors. Such progress is essential in supporting environmental decisions in uncertain future conditions.

Abstract
Scrub typhus is a mite-borne rickettsial disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, which is endemic in Asia Pacific region. In this study, infection rate and molecular epidemiologic traits of O. tsutsugamushi was investigated in Mymensingh, located in north-central Bangladesh. Among the blood samples from 453 febrile patients who visited Mymensingh medical college hospital in 2018, the 47 kDa protein gene of O. tsutsugamushi was detected in 78 samples (17.2%) by nested PCR. Phylogenetic analysis of the O. tsutsugamushi 56 kDa protein gene (18 samples) revealed a predominance of Karp-related genotype (89%), while the remaining belonged to Gilliam genotype. Samples of the Karp-related genotype mostly clustered with those of China, Taiwan, Thailand and India, etc., in emergent subgroups clades 2 and 4, which were distinct from clade 1, including prototype Karp strains. Among the 18 samples, three variable domains (VD) of 56 kDa type-specific antigen had different types of sequence diversity; VDI contained two or three repeats of eight amino acid units, while VDII and VDIII had amino acid substitution, deletion or insertion. The present study documented a potentially high prevalence of genetically diverse O. tsutsugamushi in north-central Bangladesh.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis is a widely accepted indication for liver transplantation (LT). Many scoring systems have been proposed intending to an extension of the established Milan criteria. Bridging treatments are systematically applied in order to maintain or to downstage such patients to the listing criteria. The objective of our study was to estimate the feasibility of the prediction of microvascular tumor invasion in transplant candidates. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data corresponding to transplanted HCC patients were reviewed for the purposes of this study. All tumor slices were blindly re-evaluated by a single pathologist in order to score for tumor necrosis and microvascular invasion. Recipients of pediatric or split LT were excluded. RESULTS Eighty patients (30 women and 50 men) were included in the study. Tumor necrosis was absent in 29 of 80 liver explants (36.25%). In the majority of instances (63.75%) tumor necrosis was evident in proportions between 5% and 100%. In 58 liver explants showing 0%-60% tumor necrosis and 22 liver explants showing > 60% tumor necrosis, microvascular tumor invasion was detectable in 11 and 0 cases, respectively (P = .0385). CONCLUSION In about one-fourth of the cases (27.5%) microvascular tumor invasion could not be detected due to extended areas of tumor necrosis. Preoperative detection of microvascular invasion is misleading.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Organ procurement from deceased donors has been steadily augmented over the last 20 years. With a more aged donor population, a higher incidence of intraabdominal pathologies, including abdominal aortic aneurysms and atherosclerotic aortic disease, is commonly being encountered. The objective of our study was to report our institutional experience with abdominal aortic grafts during solid organ harvesting. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data concerning the presence of aortic grafts in deceased solid organ donors during a 36-month period were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS During the study period, the organ retrieval team of our institution performed 246 multiorgan retrievals from deceased donors. More specifically, we harvested 6 livers and 12 kidneys from 6 donors with abdominal aortic grafts, which were not known/diagnosed to the organ retrieving team prior to the harvesting procedure. Severe atherosclerosis was present in all these donors. All 18 harvested organs were successfully transplanted. Apart of the absence of the aortic patch in 5 kidney grafts, no further special technical difficulties have been reported by the transplant teams. Data analysis of the recipient and graft outcome was performed through the Eurotransplant database. CONCLUSION There are so far no literature data on the outcome of recipients and grafts from deceased donors with abdominal aortic grafts. Although retrieval of such organs is very challenging and requires a very experienced team, the transplantation of the corresponding organs can be performed without special technical problems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cell-based therapies have demonstrated variable degrees of success in the management of myocardial infarction and heart failure. By inducing a myocardial infarction in a rat model, the effects of secretome from human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on cardiac function and remodeling were investigated. METHODS HiPSCs and hMSCs were cultured and after 12 cycles, secretome was collected. The quantification of stem cell growth factors was measured using the ELISA test. Thirty female Lewis rats underwent surgical ligation of the left coronary artery. The rats were then randomized (n=10/group) to receive one of three treatments injected into the peri-infarct area; normal saline, HiPSC and hMSC. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), fractional shortening (FS), histology and serum proteomics were evaluated in a blinded fashion both pre-operatively and at 2, 4 and 6 weeks. RESULTS ELISA studies revealed, Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) concentration of 3.35± 0.031 ng/ml (0.68± 0.027ng/ml) for MSC-CM group, 3.44± 0.042 ng/ml (0.78± 0.03 ng/ml) for the HiPSC-CM group, 3.2± 0.107 ng/ml (0.64±0.013 ng/ml) for the MSC-pre-group, 3.1± 0.075 ng/ml (0.71± 0.013 ng/ml) for the HiPSC-pre group and 3.3± 0.047 ng/ml (0.71± 0.014ng/ml) for the HiPSC-pre-r group at 60 min in comparison to at (0 min).Compared to non-treated (NT), HiPSC and hMSC, treated rats demonstrated significant improvement in LVEF and FS, and significant reduction in scar size (p<0.05) at 4 and 6 weeks. Proteomic analysis detected the presence of Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the serum of rats receiving HiPSC, which was absent in the NT and hMSC groups. CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated a significant improvement of cardiac function and remodeling in response to secretome from HiPSCs and hMSCs. These findings suggest that secretome from HiPSCs may have potential therapy for acute myocardial infarction (MI) without the need of stem cell harvesting and implantation.

Abstract
LexA is a protein that is involved in the SOS response. The protein fromMycobacterium tuberculosisand its mutants have been biochemically characterized and the structures of their catalytic segments have been determined. The protein is made up of an N-terminal segment, which includes the DNA-binding domain, and a C-terminal segment encompassing much of the catalytic domain. The two segments are defined by a cleavage site. Full-length LexA, the two segments, two point mutants involving changes in the active-site residues (S160A and K197A) and another mutant involving a change at the cleavage site (G126D) were cloned and purified. The wild-type protein autocleaves at basic pH, while the mutants do not. The wild-type and the mutant proteins dimerize and bind DNA with equal facility. The C-terminal segment also dimerizes, and it also shows a tendency to form tetramers. The C-terminal segment readily crystallized. The crystals obtained from attempts involving the full-length protein and its mutants contained only the C-terminal segment including the catalytic core and a few residues preceding it, in a dimeric or tetrameric form, indicating protein cleavage during the long period involved in crystal formation. Modes of tetramerization of the full-length protein similar to those observed for the catalytic core are feasible. A complex ofM. tuberculosisLexA and the cognate SOS box could be modeled in which the mutual orientation of the two N-terminal domains differs from that in theEscherichia coliLexA–DNA complex. These results represent the first thorough characterization ofM. tuberculosisLexA and provide definitive information on its structure and assembly. They also provide leads for further exploration of this important protein.
