Abstract
This study investigated oxidative stress in patients with psoriasis of low and medium disease activity. We measured advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma using UV-spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography connected to a fluorescence detector in 84 patients and 84 matched healthy subjects. AOPP is a marker of protein oxidation due to inflammation, whereas MDA is a hydroxyl radical initiated lipid peroxidation product. Clinico-demographic variables including age, gender, disease severity, and fatigue were assessed in relation to AOPP and MDA. Disease severity was evaluated with the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and the Dermatology Life Quality Index. Median (interquartile range, IQR) AOPP concentrations were 66 µmol/l (IQR 54-102) in patients and 69 µmol/l (IQR 55-87) in healthy subjects (P = 0.75). Median plasma MDA concentrations were significantly lower in patients than in healthy subjects (0.68 µM, IQR 0.54-0.85 vs. 0.76 µM, IQR 0.60-0.97; P = 0.03). Plasma levels of AOPP and MDA did not indicate oxidative stress in patients with mild psoriasis. Higher AOPP concentrations were associated with male gender, high body mass index, and high hemoglobin values. Elevated MDA concentrations were associated with advanced age and male gender. No associations with disease severity were detected. Although, the two selected biomarkers do not provide a complete measure of oxidative damage, our study demonstrates that a number of physiological and methodological factors influence the levels of MDA and AOPP. Such methodological issues are important to consider when interpreting results using these biomarkers in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatigue is associated with various chronic inflammatory diseases, but few studies have focused on its occurrence in psoriasis. OBJECTIVES To describe fatigue prevalence and degree among patients with chronic plaque psoriasis vs. age- and sex-matched healthy subjects, and to examine how fatigue is influenced by essential clinical and demographic factors. METHODS In 84 patients and 84 healthy subjects, fatigue severity was assessed using three different generic fatigue instruments: the fatigue Visual Analogue Scale (fVAS), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Vitality scale. Cut-off scores for clinically important fatigue were defined as ≥ 4 for FSS, ≥ 50 for fVAS and ≤ 35 for the SF-36 Vitality scale. Disease activity was evaluated using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), and the impact on quality of life with the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). RESULTS Patients and healthy control subjects, respectively, showed median fVAS scores of 51 [interquartile range (IQR) 21-67] and 11 (IQR 3-20); FSS scores of 4 (IQR 2·5-5·3) and 1·6 (IQR 1·1-2·2); and SF-36 Vitality scores of 43 (IQR 25-85) and 73 (IQR 65-85). The rates of clinically important fatigue among patients vs. healthy controls, respectively, were 51% vs. 4% (fVAS); 52% vs. 4% (FSS); and 42% vs. 2% (SF-36 Vitality) (P < 0·001 for all differences). Fatigue was associated with DLQI scores, but not PASI scores, in univariate analysis but not in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Nearly 50% of patients with psoriasis suffered from substantial fatigue. Fatigue severity was associated with smoking, pain and depression, but not with psoriasis severity.

Abstract
Amplification of 8p12-p11 is relatively common in breast cancer and several genes within the region have been suggested to affect breast tumor progression. The aim of the study was to map the amplified 8p12-p11 region in a large set of breast tumors in an effort to identify the genetic driver and to explore its impact on tumor progression and prognosis. Copy number alterations (CNAs) were mapped in 359 tumors, and gene expression data from 577 tumors (359 tumors included) were correlated with CNA, clinical–pathological factors, and protein expression (39 tumors). 8p12-p11 was amplified in 11.4% of tumors. The smallest region of amplification harbored one full-length gene, ZNF703. ZNF703 mRNA expression was significantly higher in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive than ER-negative tumors (P = 2 × 10−16), a reflection of high expression in luminal tumors. Forty-eight percent of tumors with ZNF703 amplification were luminal B tumors in which the best correlation between DNA copy number and mRNA was seen (P = 1.2 × 10−7) as well as correlation between mRNA and protein expression (P = 0.02). High ZNF703 mRNA correlated with poor survival in patients with ER-positive luminal B tumors (log rank P = 0.04). Furthermore, high ZNF703 mRNA expression correlated with poor outcome in patients with ZNF703 copy number neutral, ER-positive, luminal B tumors (log rank P = 0.004). The results support ZNF703 as the driver gene of the 8p12 amplification and suggest that independent of amplification, high expression of the gene affects prognosis in luminal B tumors. Our mapping of 8p12-p11 and analyses of ZNF703 mRNA and protein expression in breast tumors support ZNF703 as an oncogene in luminal B tumors. High ZNF703 expression, independent of the amplification, correlated with worse prognosis for the breast cancer patients with ER-positive luminal tumors, particularly of the luminal B subtype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the outcomes of mental health care users (MHCU's) admitted in terms of Section 40 of the South African Mental Health Care Act (No 17 of 2002) (MHCA) and the factors, if any, that are associated with these outcomes. METHOD The study was a retrospective record review of MHCU's, 18 years and older, referred by the South African Police Service (SAPS) to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital (CHBH). All mental health care users handed over to CHBH by SAPS with completed MHCA form 22's during the period July 2007 to December 2007 were included in the study. The outcomes, demographics and clinical characteristics of these referrals were obtained from hospital records. RESULTS During the six-month study period, 718 MHCU's were referred by members of SAPS to the CHBH Emergency Department. Associations were found between discharged MHCU's and i) being male, ii) being less than 35 years of age, iii) being unemployed, iv) having a lower level of education, v) having a past history of substance abuse and/or vi) a past psychiatric illness. Females were twice as likely to be unemployed and admitted to hospital (either to a psychiatric or general medical ward). MHCU's diagnosed with delirium were more likely to be admitted into a medical ward as compared to a psychiatric ward. CONCLUSION As has been the case in most countries where police services have been incorporated into mental health acts, South Africa's new Mental Health Care Act (No 17 of 2002) has resulted in a large number of referrals by the police to mental health services. However, many of these referrals may not be necessary as most MHCU's end up not being admitted. The characteristics of police referrals suggest that the receiving facility should have the capacity to identify factors that favour outpatient care (especially substance abuse problems) and divert MHCU's presenting with such factors to appropriate treatment facilities without admitting them to the hospital.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of the study was to determine knowledge, attitudes and personal beliefs regarding HIV and AIDS in a group of mentally ill patients attending outpatient clinics in Soweto, Johannesburg.
Method. All patients attending four randomly chosen clinics in Soweto were invited to complete a self-administered questionnaire after obtaining informed written consent. The 63-item questionnaire, developed from others specifically for this study, included questions on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics; knowledge on how HIV is acquired and spread; attitudes and beliefs regarding HIV and AIDS; and condom usage. The statements in the knowledge sections were used to calculate a composite score, which if greater than or equal to 75% was defined as ‘adequate knowledge’.
Results. A total of 1 151 patients with mental illness participated in the study. The mean age was 41.9 years (standard deviation 11.6) and the majority were males (50%); single (55%), and had achieved only a secondary level of education (53.3%). Overall, most of the study population did not believe in the myths surrounding the spread and acquisition of HIV and AIDS. There were however, significant associations between a low level of education and the belief that HIV is acquired from mosquito bites (odds ratio (OR) 1.61; 95% CI 1.19 - 2.18; p=0.002) and through masturbation or body rubbing (OR 1.76; 95% CI 1.34 - 2.33; p=0.000). Although more than 90% of the patients were aware of the facts regarding the spread of HIV, approximately 40% did not believe that one could acquire HIV through a single sexual encounter. The composite scoring for knowledge showed that less than half the patients had adequate knowledge of HIV/AIDS. This was significantly associated with gender and level of education: females were 1.6 times (p
