Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal was to characterize short-term kidney status and describe variation in early care utilization in a multicenter cohort of patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) and nephritis. METHODS We analyzed previously collected prospective data from North American patients with cSLE with kidney biopsy-proven nephritis enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry from March 2017 through December 2019. We determined the proportion of patients with abnormal kidney status at the most recent registry visit and applied generalized linear mixed models to identify associated factors. We also calculated frequency of medication use, both during induction and ever recorded. RESULTS We identified 222 patients with kidney biopsy-proven nephritis, with 64% class III/IV nephritis on initial biopsy. At the most recent registry visit at median (interquartile range) of 17 (8-29) months from initial kidney biopsy, 58 of 106 patients (55%) with available data had abnormal kidney status. This finding was associated with male sex (odds ratio [OR] 3.88, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.21-12.46) and age at cSLE diagnosis (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.01-1.49). Patients with class IV nephritis were more likely than class III to receive cyclophosphamide and rituximab during induction. There was substantial variation in mycophenolate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab ever use patterns across rheumatology centers. CONCLUSION In this cohort with predominately class III/IV nephritis, male sex and older age at cSLE diagnosis were associated with abnormal short-term kidney status. We also observed substantial variation in contemporary medication use for pediatric lupus nephritis between pediatric rheumatology centers. Additional studies are needed to better understand the impact of this variation on long-term kidney outcomes.

Intraarticular steroids as DMARD-sparing agents for juvenile idiopathic arthritis flares: Analysis of the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who achieve a drug free remission often experience a flare of their disease requiring either intraarticular steroids (IAS) or systemic treatment with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). IAS offer an opportunity to recapture disease control and avoid exposure to side effects from systemic immunosuppression. We examined a cohort of patients treated with IAS after drug free remission and report the probability of restarting systemic treatment within 12 months. METHODS We analyzed a cohort of patients from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry who received IAS for a flare after a period of drug free remission. Historical factors and clinical characteristics and of the patients including data obtained at the time of treatment were analyzed. RESULTS We identified 46 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Of those with follow up data available 49% had restarted systemic treatment 6 months after IAS injection and 70% had restarted systemic treatment at 12 months. The proportion of patients with prior use of a biologic DMARD was the only factor that differed between patients who restarted systemic treatment those who did not, both at 6 months (79% vs 35%, p < 0.01) and 12 months (81% vs 33%, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION While IAS are an option for all patients who flare after drug free remission, it may not prevent the need to restart systemic treatment. Prior use of a biologic DMARD may predict lack of success for IAS. Those who previously received methotrexate only, on the other hand, are excellent candidates for IAS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Social determinants of health (SDH) greatly influence outcomes during the first year of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis, a disease similar to polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA). We investigated the correlation of community poverty level and other SDH with the persistence of moderate to severe disease activity and functional disability over the first year of treatment in pJIA patients enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry. METHODS In this cohort study, unadjusted and adjusted generalized linear mixed effects models analyzed the effect of community poverty and other SDH on disease activity, using the clinical Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-10, and disability, using the Child Health Assessment Questionnaire, measured at baseline, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS One thousand six hundred eighty-four patients were identified. High community poverty (≥20% living below the federal poverty level) was associated with increased odds of functional disability (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.28-2.60) but was not statistically significant after adjustment (aOR 1.23, 95% CI 0.81-1.86) and was not associated with increased disease activity. Non-white race/ethnicity was associated with higher disease activity (aOR 2.48, 95% CI: 1.41-4.36). Lower self-reported household income was associated with higher disease activity and persistent functional disability. Public insurance (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.06-2.29) and low family education (aOR 1.89, 95% CI 1.14-3.12) was associated with persistent functional disability. CONCLUSION High community poverty level was associated with persistent functional disability in unadjusted analysis but not with persistent moderate to high disease activity. Race/ethnicity and other SDH were associated with persistent disease activity and functional disability.

Abstract
Background:Tofacitinib is an oral JAK inhibitor that is being investigated for JIA.Objectives:To assess tofacitinib efficacy and safety in JIA patients (pts).Methods:This was a Phase 3, randomised, double-blind (DB), placebo (PBO)-controlled withdrawal study in pts aged 2−<18 years with polyarticular course JIA (pcJIA), PsA or ERA (NCT02592434). In the 18-week open-label Part 1, pts received weight-based tofacitinib doses (5 mg BID or lower). Pts with ≥JIA ACR30 response at Week (W)18 were randomised 1:1 in the DB Part 2 (W18−44) to continue tofacitinib or switch to PBO. Primary endpoint: disease flare rate by W44. Key secondary endpoints: JIA ACR50/30/70 response rates; change from Part 2 baseline (Δ) in CHAQ-DI at W44. Other efficacy endpoints: time to disease flare in Part 2; JADAS27-CRP in Parts 1 and 2. PsA/ERA pts were excluded from these efficacy analyses. Safety was evaluated in all pts up to W44.Results:225 enrolled pts with pcJIA (n=184), PsA (n=20) or ERA (n=21) received tofacitinib in Part 1. At W18, 173/225 (76.9%) pts entered Part 2 (pcJIA n=142, PsA n=15, ERA n=16). In pcJIA pts, disease flare rate in Part 2 was significantly lower with tofacitinib vs PBO by W44 (p=0.0031; Fig 1a). JIA ACR50/30/70 response rates (Fig 1b) and ΔCHAQ-DI (Fig 1c) at W44, and time to disease flare in Part 2 (Fig 2a), were improved with tofacitinib vs PBO. Tofacitinib reduced JADAS27-CRP in Part 1; this effect was sustained in Part 2 (Fig 2b). Overall, safety was similar with tofacitinib or PBO (Table): 77.3% and 74.1% had adverse events (AEs); 1.1% and 2.4% had serious AEs. In Part 1, 2 pts had herpes zoster (non-serious) and 3 pts had serious infections (SIs). In Part 2, SIs occurred in 1 tofacitinib pt and 1 PBO pt. No pts died.Conclusion:In pcJIA pts, tofacitinib vs PBO resulted in significantly fewer disease flares, and improved time to flare, disease activity and physical functioning. Tofacitinib safety was consistent with that in RA pts.Table.Safety in all ptsPart 1Part 2TofacitinibaN=225TofacitinibaN=88PBO N=85Pts with events, n (%)AEs153 (68.0)68 (77.3)63 (74.1)SAEs7 (3.1)1 (1.1)2 (2.4)Permanent discontinuations due to AEs26 (11.6)16 (18.2)29 (34.1)AEs of special interest Death000 Gastrointestinal perforationb000 Hepatic eventb3 (1.3)00 Herpes zoster (non-serious and serious)2 (0.9)c00 Interstitial lung diseaseb000 Major adverse cardiovascular eventsb000 Malignancy (including non-melanoma skin cancer)b000 Macrophage activation syndromeb000 Opportunistic infectionb000 SI3 (1.3)1 (1.1)d1 (1.2) Thrombotic event (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolismbor arterial thromboembolism)000 Tuberculosisb000a5 mg BID or equivalent weight-based lower dose in pts <40 kgbAdjudicated eventscBoth non-seriousdOne SAE of pilonidal cyst repair was coded to surgical procedures instead of infections, and was inadvertently not identified as an SI.

Abstract
In healthy women, plasma norepinephrine (NE) has a cycle with the highest levels occurring at ovulation and early luteal phase. We examined plasma NE cyclicity in premenstrual syndrome (PMS) patients as compared to controls, its relation to estradiol (E(2)), progesterone (P), luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, and the correlation of these parameters with the PMS symptoms. Lack of NE cyclicity was observed in PMS patients. In controls, peak NE levels occurred at ovulation and early luteal phase. In PMS, serum E(2) was higher during the follicular phase, while P and gonadotrophins were higher especially at ovulation and the luteal phase. In the late luteal phase, E(2) levels were lower in PMS patients than in controls. A negative correlation was observed between the area under the curve for E(2) in the luteal phase and PMS somatic and mental scores. Plasma NE showed a negative correlation with abrupt mood swings, impatience, nervousness, tiredness, weakness, apathy, and headache. These data suggest that lack of NE cyclicity characterizes PMS, some symptoms being related to low E(2) levels during the late luteal phase and decreased noradrenergic activity at ovulation and the luteal phase.

Abstract
Recently we identified FUS1 as a candidate tumor suppressor gene (TSG) in the 120 kb 3p21.3 critical region contained in nested lung and breast cancer homozygous deletions. Mutation of FUS1 is infrequent in lung cancers which we have confirmed in 40 other primary lung cancers. In addition, we found no evidence for FUS1 promoter region methylation. Because haploinsufficiency or low expression of Fus1 may play a role in lung tumorigenesis, we tested the effect of exogenously induced overexpression of Fus1 protein and found 60-80% inhibition of colony formation for non-small cell lung cancer lines NCI-H1299 (showing allele loss for FUS1) and NCI-H322 (containing only a mutated FUS1 allele) in vitro. By contrast, a similar level of expression of a tumor-acquired mutant form of FUS1 protein did not significantly suppress colony formation. Also, induced expression of Fus1 under the control of an Ecdysone regulated promoter decreased colony formation 75%, increased the doubling time twofold, and arrested H1299 cells in G1. In conclusion, our data are consistent with the hypothesis that FUS1 may function as a 3p21.3 TSG, warranting further studies of its function in the pathogenesis of human cancers.

Abstract
The candidate tumour suppressor gene, LUCA-15, maps to the lung cancer tumour suppressor locus 3p21.3. Overexpression of an alternative RNA splice variant of LUCA-15 has been shown to retard human Jurkat T cell proliferation and to accelerate CD95-mediated apoptosis. An antisense cDNA to the 3'-UTR of this splice variant was able to suppress CD95-mediated apoptosis. Here, we report that overexpression of LUCA-15 itself suppresses CD95-mediated apoptosis in Jurkat cells. This suppression occurs prior to the final execution stage of the CD95 signalling pathway, and is associated with up-regulation of the apoptosis inhibitory protein Bcl-2. LUCA-15 overexpression is also able to inhibit apoptosis induced by the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine, but is not able to significantly suppress apoptosis mediated by the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide. These findings suggest that LUCA-15 is a selective inhibitor of cell death, and confirm the importance of the LUCA-15 genetic locus in the control of apoptosis.

Abstract
Regulated cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) levels and activities are critical for the proper progression of the cell division cycle. p12(DOC-1) is a growth suppressor isolated from normal keratinocytes. We report that p12(DOC-1) associates with CDK2. More specifically, p12(DOC-1) associates with the monomeric nonphosphorylated form of CDK2 (p33CDK2). Ectopic expression of p12(DOC-1) resulted in decreased cellular CDK2 and reduced CDK2-associated kinase activities and was accompanied by a shift in the cell cycle positions of p12(DOC-1) transfectants ( upward arrow G(1) and downward arrow S). The p12(DOC-1)-mediated decrease of CDK2 was prevented if the p12(DOC-1) transfectants were grown in the presence of the proteosome inhibitor clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone, suggesting that p12(DOC-1) may target CDK2 for proteolysis. A CDK2 binding mutant was created and was found to revert p12(DOC-1)-mediated, CDK2-associated cell cycle phenotypes. These data support p12(DOC-1) as a specific CDK2-associated protein that negatively regulates CDK2 activities by sequestering the monomeric pool of CDK2 and/or targets CDK2 for proteolysis, reducing the active pool of CDK2.

Abstract
p12(DOC-1) is a growth suppressor identified and isolated from normal keratinocytes. Ectopic expression of p12(DOC-1) in squamous carcinoma cells led to the reversion of in vitro transformation phenotypes including anchorage independence, doubling time, and morphology. Here we report that p12(DOC-1) associates with DNA polymerase alpha/primase (pol-alpha:primase) in vitro and in cells. The pol-alpha:primase binding domain in p12(DOC-1) is mapped to the amino-terminal six amino acid (MSYKPN). The biological effect of p12(DOC-1) on pol-alpha:primase was examined using in vitro DNA replication assays. Using the SV40 DNA replication assay, p12(DOC-1) suppresses DNA replication, leveling at approximately 50%. Similar results were obtained using the M13 single-stranded DNA synthesis assay. Analysis of the DNA replication products revealed that p12(DOC-1) affects the initiation step, not the elongation phase. The p12(DOC-1) suppression of DNA replication is likely to be mediated either by a direct inhibitory effect on pol-alpha:primase or by its effect on cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), a recently identified p12(DOC-1)-associated protein known to stimulate DNA replication by phosphorylating pol-alpha:primase. p12(DOC-1) suppresses CDK2-mediated phosphorylation of pol-alpha:primase. These data support a role of p12(DOC-1) as a regulator of DNA replication by direct inhibition of pol-alpha:primase or by negatively regulating the CDK2-mediated phosphorylation of pol-alpha:primase.

Abstract
Cooperation between integrins and growth factor receptors plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and survival. The function of growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) can be regulated by cell adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) even in the absence of ligand. We investigated the pathway involved in integrin-mediated RTK activation, using RON, the receptor for macrophage-stimulating protein. Adhesion of RON-expressing epithelial cells to ECM caused phosphorylation of RON, which depended on the kinase activity of both RON itself and c-Src. This conclusion is based on these observations: 1) ECM-induced RON phosphorylation was inhibited in cells expressing kinase-inactive c-Src; 2) active c-Src could phosphorylate immunoprecipitated RON from ECM-stimulated cells but not from unstimulated cells; and 3) ECM did not cause RON phosphorylation in cells expressing kinase-dead RON, nor could active c-Src phosphorylate RON immunoprecipitated from these cells. The data fit a pathway in which ECM-induced integrin aggregation causes both c-Src activation and RON oligomerization followed by RON kinase-dependent autophosphorylation; this results in RON becoming a target for activated c-Src, which phosphorylates additional tyrosines on RON. Integrin-induced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation also depended on both EGFR and c-Src kinase activities. This sequence appears to be a general pathway for integrin-dependent growth factor RTK activation.

Abstract
The developing metanephric kidney is a convenient model to study molecular events associated with epithelial cell differentiation. To determine the genes involved in the defining event of this process, namely, the conversion of metanephric mesenchyme to the epithelium of the nephron, we applied differential display (DD) techniques. Explants of rat metanephric mesenchymes were induced to condense ex vivo with fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) or to form tubules with FGF2 and conditioned medium (CM) from a cell line (RUB1) of ureteric bud, the renal inductive tissue. Three time points (6, 24, and 72 h) were chosen to track the dynamics of gene expression during morphogenesis. Seventy-two up- or down-regulated mRNAs were identified, including 36 novel sequences and those of cell cycle regulatory proteins (TGF-beta2, Cyclin D1, p57Kip2), transcription factors (beta-catenin, Sox11, DP1), signaling proteins (SH3-domain binding protein, G-protein-coupled receptor, Ser-Thr protein kinase), cell adhesion molecules (syndecan-4, integrin-beta1), and also gene33, H19, SM20, IGFBP5, MAMA receptor, lectin, keratin, beta-tubulin, calreticulin, GRP78, ERp72, MnSoD, thioredoxin, and others. Some have previously been associated with kidney development and serve as good controls for expected changes, while most have not been linked with kidney epithelial cell differentiation. Using thin sections of embryonic kidney and labeled antisense RNA probes, we applied RNA hybridization to confirm the results of DD and related the expression of these genes to specific cell lineages of the developing kidney. These results provide a window into the events that mediate this critical differentiation process and suggest that a limited number of interrelated events direct the epithelial conversion of metanephric mesenchyme. genesis 27:22-31, 2000.

Abstract
We have partially sequenced more than 1000 NotI linking clones isolated from human chromosome 3-specific libraries. Of these clones, 152 were unique chromosome 3-specific clones. The clones were precisely mapped using a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and hybridization to somatic cell or radiation hybrids. Two- and three-color FISH was used to order the clones that mapped to the same chromosomal region, and in some cases, chromosome jumping was used to resolve ambiguous mapping. When this NotI restriction map was compared with the yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) based chromosome 3 map, significant differences in several chromosome 3 regions were observed. A search of the EMBL nucleotide database with these sequences revealed homologies (90-100%) to more than 100 different genes or expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Many of these homologies were used to map new genes to chromosome 3. These results suggest that sequencing NotI linking clones, and sequencing CpG islands in general, may complement the EST project and aid in the discovery of all human genes by sequencing random cDNAs. This method may also yield information that cannot be obtained by the EST project alone; namely, the identification of the 5' ends of genes, including potential promoter/enhancer regions and other regulatory sequences

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the one-year developmental outcome of offspring of mothers with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM). We prospectively evaluated 31 women with PGDM (21 with type 1 DM and 10 with type 2 DM) and 41 nondiabetic controls during pregnancy and for one year follow-up. Data showed that offspring of mothers with PGDM scored lower than controls in all aspects of development--mental, psychomotor, and exploration/orientation. Despite the good metabolic control of the mothers with PGDM, their offpsring showed a less favorable developmental outcome at one year than infants of nondiabetic mothers. MDI score and PDI score were significantly lower in the diabetic group than in the controls (91.04 vs 98.15, p<0.05 and 85.15 vs 95.54, p<0.05, respectively). In addition, the orientation/engagement score was lower in the diabetic group as compared with the nondiabetic group (41.04 vs 45.50, p<0.05). Whereas no significant difference was found between the type 1 and type 2 groups with regard to the MDI score, type 2 infants scored lower on the PDI than infants in the type 1 group (78.1 vs 89.3) but higher on the motor quality score (34.0 vs 31.3). These preliminary findings support the need for ongoing large scale developmental follow-up studies of offspring born to diabetic mothers in order to elucidate whether they have cognitive impairment later in life.

Abstract
The absence of functional von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene leads to the development of neoplasias characteristic of VHL disease, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Here, we compared the sensitivity of RCC cells lacking VHL gene function with that of RCC cells expressing the wild-type VHL gene (wtVHL) after exposure to various stresses. While the response to most treatments was not affected by the VHL gene status, glucose deprivation was found to be much more cytotoxic for RCC cells lacking VHL gene function than for wtVHL-expressing cells. The heightened sensitivity of VHL-deficient cells was not attributed to dissimilar energy requirements or to differences in glucose uptake, but more likely reflects a lesser ability of VHL-deficient cells to handle abnormally processed proteins arising from impaired glycosylation. In support of this hypothesis, other treatments which act through different mechanisms to interfere with protein processing (i.e., tunicamycin, brefeldin A, and azetidine) were also found to be much more toxic for VHL-deficient cells. Furthermore, ubiquitination of cellular proteins was elevated in VHL-deficient cells, particularly after glucose deprivation, supporting a role for the VHL gene in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Accordingly, the rate of elimination of abnormal proteins was lower in cells lacking a functional VHL gene than in wtVHL-expressing cells. Thus, pVHL appears to participate in the elimination of misprocessed proteins, such as those arising in the cell due to the unavailability of glucose or to other stresses.

Abstract
Assessed long-term effects of assisted reproduction technologies of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and related techniques of embryo transfer (ET) on children's adjustment. 51 school-age Israeli children conceived by IVF/ET were compared with 51 control-matched children conceived spontaneously. The assessment included a comprehensive medical evaluation, a psychological examination, teachers' reports, parents' reports, and children's self-reports. As compared with controls, IVF/ET children did not reveal significant differences in physical and neurological status or on cognitive measures of IQ, visual-motor coordination, visual memory, and verbal comprehension. Nevertheless, the IVF/ET children were scored lower by teachers on measures of socioemotional adjustment in school and on self-report measures of anxiety, aggression, and depression. Among IVF/ET children, the tendency to be at a greater risk for emotional disturbances was exacerbated among boys and among children whose parents were older.

Abstract
We have constructed a physical map of the region homozygously deleted in the U2020 cell line at 3p12, including the location of putative CpG islands. Adjacent to one of these islands, we have identified and cloned a new gene (DUTT1) and used probes from this gene to detect two other homozygous deletions occurring in lung and breast carcinomas: the smallest deletion is within the gene itself and would result in a truncated protein. The DUTT1 gene is a member of the neural cell adhesion molecule family, although its widespread expression suggests it plays a less specialized role compared to other members of the family.

Abstract
Studies of families with inherited carcinomas have provided powerful tools to identify the genes involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers. In this review, we summarize the clinical, pathological, and genetic characteristics of the inherited carcinomas of the kidney. We emphasize the observation that different genes predispose to histologically different types of renal carcinoma. Hereditary papillary renal carcinoma, a recently described inherited disorder, is discussed in detail along with the predisposing gene, the MET protooncogene. The data support a classification of renal carcinomas based on molecular genetics.

Abstract
A computational system for the prediction of polymorphic loci directly and efficiently from human genomic sequence was developed and verified. A suite of programs, collectively called POMPOUS (polymorphic marker prediction of ubiquitous simple sequences) detects tandem repeats ranging from dinucleotides up to 250 mers, scores them according to predicted level of polymorphism, and designs appropriate flanking primers for PCR amplification. This approach was validated on an approximately 750-kilobase region of human chromosome 3p21.3, involved in lung and breast carcinoma homozygous deletions. Target DNA from 36 paired B lymphoblastoid and lung cancer lines was amplified and allelotyped for 33 loci predicted by POMPOUS to be variable in repeat size. We found that among those 36 predominately Caucasian individuals 22 of the 33 (67%) predicted loci were polymorphic with an average heterozygosity of 0.42. Allele loss in this region was found in 27/36 (75%) of the tumor lines using these markers. POMPOUS provides the genetic researcher with an additional tool for the rapid and efficient identification of polymorphic markers, and through a World Wide Web site, investigators can use POMPOUS to identify polymorphic markers for their research. A catalog of 13,261 potential polymorphic markers and associated primer sets has been created from the analysis of 141,779,504 base pairs of human genomic sequence in GenBank. This data is available on our Web site (pompous.swmed.edu) and will be updated periodically as GenBank is expanded and algorithm accuracy is improved.

Abstract
A new member of the NCAM family mapping to 3p12 has been isolated and predicted to be arranged in five immunoglobulin-like domains and three fibronectin-like domains which are particularly homologous to L1. There is a transmembrane domain and a long cytoplasmic region with no detectable homology to other sequences. Although less closely related to DCC, another family member, both share a loop of positively charged amino acids within the first immunoglobulin domain, unique to these two members of this very large gene family. Preliminary studies of expression in mouse embryos support an inferred role in neural development, but the observation of widespread gene expression in adult human tissues indicates that this protein has additional functions to those performed in neural cells.

Abstract
Germline mutation analysis was performed in 469 VHL families from North America, Europe, and Japan. Germline mutations were identified in 300/469 (63%) of the families tested; 137 distinct intragenic germline mutations were detected. Most of the germline VHL mutations (124/137) occurred in 1-2 families; a few occured in four or more families. The common germline VHL mutations were: delPhe76, Asn78Ser, Arg161Stop, Arg167Gln, Arg167Trp, and Leu178Pro. In this large series, it was possible to compare the effects of identical germline mutations in different populations. Germline VHL mutations produced similar cancer phenotypes in Caucasian and Japanese VHL families. Germline VHL mutations were identified that produced three distinct cancer phenotypes: (1) renal carcinoma without pheochromocytoma, (2) renal carcinoma with pheochromocytoma, and (3) pheochromocytoma alone. The catalog of VHL germline mutations with phenotype information should be useful for diagnostic and prognostic studies of VHL and for studies of genotype-phenotype correlations in VHL.

The use of a gonodotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) agonist in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) program raises the question of any influence on the physical, neurologic, and mental development of the children. We compared the development of children born after long-acting Gn-RH agonist treatment with that of children born after spontaneous pregnancies. Children from singleton pregnancies and > or = 28 months of age were examined by a pediatric neurologist and a psychologist who did not know to which group the children belonged. The General Cognitive Index test was used. Each group included 30 children. Five children cooperated only partly. Physical and neurologic findings were normal in all children, except that one in the group born after in vitro fertilization had diffuse hypotonia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and hyperactivity. The General Cognitive Index for the 26 children in the study group and the 29 children in the control group who fully cooperated were 102 +/- 13.3 and 106 +/- 13.5, respectively (p = 0.37). The verbal perception, motor, and memory indexes were not significantly different. We conclude that the long-acting Gn-RH agonist had no clinically identifiable influence on the development of these children.

Abstract
We describe a 3 generation family with members affected with papillary renal cell carcinoma, an uncommon histological type of renal cell carcinoma. Multiple tumors of varying size were present in both kidneys of affected family members. The disorder was not linked to polymorphic markers on chromosome 3p and there was no loss of heterozygosity at loci on 3p in renal tumors. The results suggest the presence of a renal cell carcinoma gene not located on 3p that predisposes to renal cell carcinoma with a distinct histological appearance. The inherited disorder in this family appears to be different from recognized hereditary cancer syndromes.

Abstract
Examined the role of biological factors (birth weight and perinatal medical complications) and psychosocial factors (maternal attitudes, paternal involvement, mother's personal state, marital adjustment, family relations, and socioeconomic status) in predicting long-term outcome of 90 Israeli adolescents born prematurely at very low birth weight (VLBW). As compared with 90 adolescents born full-term at normal birth weight (NBW), the VLBW children scored lower on all measures except reading comprehension. IQ, visual-motor coordination, and hyperactive behavior were predicted by both biological and psychosocial variables, visual memory by biological variables, and reading comprehension by psychosocial variables. The findings support chiefly the main effects model of developmental psychopathology (i.e., biological and psychosocial variables are additive in predicting outcomes), but also the interactional model (e.g., SES was influential in predicting visual-motor coordination and hyperactive behavior in the VLBW group but not in the NBW group).

Abstract
Administration of theophylline to asthmatic children is frequently associated with an adverse influence on their behavior. The efficacy and behavioral effects of the administration of high-dose theophylline (T) and ketotifen (K) in various combinations were evaluated prospectively in a double-blind, placebo controlled study in 55 children with moderately severe perennial asthma. During a baseline period of 2 weeks, theophylline (serum level of 10-20 micrograms/ml) was administered to all the children. After this period the patients were randomly allocated into four comparable groups. The children were treated during a 12-week period with: T+K-Placebo (T group); T+K (T+K group); half-dose T+K (T/2 + K group); or placebo of both T and K (P group). During the 12-week treatment period, as compared to the baseline period, only the three groups of children who received active therapy (T+P, T+K, T/2 + K) showed a similar reduction in the number of days with asthmatic symptomatology, improvement of the total asthmatic symptoms score, and increased PEFR. The behavioral activity of the children (assessed by the Conner's rating scale) improved significantly only in the groups receiving placebo or T/2 + K. The results of this study suggest that a combination therapy of half the recommended therapeutic dose of theophylline with ketotifen can be clinically as effective as therapy with a full dose of theophylline, but with significantly less adverse behavioral effects.

Abstract
As part of our effort to isolate and characterise the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease gene, we constructed a physical map of chromosome 3p25-26 by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) studies on a panel of cytogenetic rearrangements involving this region. Biotinylated cosmid and lambda probes were hybridised to metaphase chromosome spreads and positioned with respect to each cytogenetic breakpoint. These studies unequivocally established the order of five loci linked to the VHL disease gene: cen-(RAF1,312)-D3S732-D3S1250-D3S601-D3S18 -pter and determined the position of three other probes within this map. These results ordered RAF1 and D3S732 for the first time, confirmed the localisation of D3S1250 between RAF1 and D3S601 and determined the position of D3S651 with respect to other chromosome 3p25-p26 loci. The establishment of an ordered set of cytogenetic aberrations will enable the rapid assignment of polymorphic and nonpolymorphic cloned sequences within the chromosome region 3p25-p26.

Abstract
Jones et al. Nature Genet 1:306-309, [1992] recently detected a C to T nucleotide transition (codon 713) in a highly conserved region of the beta-amyloid precursor gene in a single case of schizophrenia. Although the sequence variant may be a natural polymorphism, it is crucial to determine whether the mutation might be present in a small subset of schizophrenics. We isolated DNA from 86 unrelated chronic schizophrenics who had a first degree relative with chronic schizophrenia or chronic schizoaffective disorder. After PCR amplification of exon 17, we were unable to detect the presence of the codon 713 variant in these schizophrenic cases, as well as in 156 controls. Unless additional cases are found with the codon 713 mutation, it is unlikely that the sequence variant is pathogenic for schizophrenia.

Abstract
Loss of function of tumor suppressor genes is important in the origin and progression of common adult tumors. Loss of heterozygosity indicating allelic loss has been used to detect chromosomal regions that harbor these genes. Using over 20 restriction fragment length polymorphism markers spaced throughout the entire length of chromosome 3p, we have generated 3p allelotypes for 18-26 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines. We then estimated the average heterozygosity over 19 loci for a random sample drawn from natural populations to be 7.80 and that for the tumor lines to be 1.65, indicating a gross reduction of heterozygosity, presumably due to allelic loss. Further comparison of per locus heterozygosity in normal and tumor DNAs showed which loci contributed to the general loss of heterozygosity. We showed that the commonly deleted region of 3p probably lies telomeric to D3S3 (3p14) and centromeric to RAF1 (3p25). This large region includes several putative tumor suppressor genes involved in multiple common tumor types of lung, breast, kidney, ovary, and cervix. The data demonstrate that chromosome 3p allelic loss is a common event in head and neck cancers and suggest that chromosome 3p tumor suppressor genes contribute to the pathogenesis of these tumors.

Abstract
Genetic linkage studies were performed in 22 families with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease by using polymorphic DNA markers from distal chromosome 3p. Linkage was detected between VHL disease and the markers D3S18 (Zmax = 6.6 at theta = 0.0, confidence interval (CI) 0.00-0.06), RAF1 (Zmax = 5.9 at theta = 0.06, CI 0.01-0.16), and THRB (Zmax 3.4 at theta = 0.11). Multipoint linkage analysis localized the VHL disease gene within a small region (approximately 8 cM) of 3p25-p26 between RAF1 and (D3S191, D3S225) and close to the D3S18 locus. There was no evidence of locus heterogeneity, and families with and without pheochromocytoma showed linkage to D3S18. The identification of DNA markers flanking the VHL disease gene allows reliable presymptomatic and prenatal diagnosis to be offered to informative families.

Abstract
We examined the long-term outcome in 111 children who had convulsions during shigellosis and were followed for 3-18 years after the incident. No deaths or persistent motor deficits occurred as sequellae. Poor coordination of fine hand movements were noted in 3.3% of the 92 children who had no pre-existing neurological abnormality. Only 1 child developed epilepsy by the age of 8 years. Of the children 15.7% had recurrent febrile seizures. The only risk factor identified for febrile seizures following convulsions in shigellosis was a previous history (P less than 0.01). These observations suggest that convulsions in shigellosis have a favourable prognosis, and do not necessitate long-term follow up.

Abstract
A sample of 101 women whose children required medical attention were interviewed at the time of initial hospital contact and again 1 year later. On the second occasion, their spouses were also interviewed for their assessment of their wives' personal and social characteristics. Greater personal resources, more intimate relations, and lower discomfort in seeking support were related to greater receipt of social support 1 year later. Chronic stress conditions were found, however, to diminish the effect of individuals' social characteristics on receipt of support. Spouses assessments showed moderate agreement with that of their wives, lending support to the validity of the findings. Implications for interventions in health-care settings were discussed.

Abstract
This study suggests that the child's emotional reaction to hospitalization is determined by personal, interpersonal and environmental factors. The personal attribute investigated was the child's predisposition to experience anxiety, namely, trait anxiety. The interpersonal influence was the perceived level of maternal anxiety, and the environmental influence was type of hospitalization--traditional hospital or day clinic. We hypothesized that hospitalized children with high trait anxiety would experience higher anxiety state than children with low trait anxiety; hospitalized children who perceive anxious rather than calm mothers would experience more anxiety; children in a traditional hospital would experience higher anxiety state than children in a day clinic; and the most anxious children would be those who have high trait anxiety, are exposed to anxious mothers and are hospitalized in a traditional hospital. Results indicate that the child's level of trait anxiety predicted the level of experienced anxiety and so did perceived maternal anxiety. Type of hospitalization did not influence the level of anxiety, but children with high trait anxiety who attributed to their mothers a high level of anxiety reported more anxiety in the day clinic rather than in the hospital. The findings imply that, when helping children and families deal with hospitalization, personal, interpersonal and environmental factors have to be considered.

Psychogenic cough is croupy and explosive, never occurs during sleep, and is not affected by antitussive drugs. Physical and radiographic examinations of the respiratory tract and microbiological investigations are normal. Bronchial asthma manifested as chronic cough should be excluded in each patient by lung function testing.

Abstract
An eight year old with a long history of hyperkinesis and learning difficulties compatible with the diagnosis of minimal brain dysfunction developed alternate day squint known as Cyclic Esotropia. No other abnormal cyclic phenomena such as alterations in sleep structure, diurnal variations in hemoglobin, hematocrit, electrolytes, body temperature, blood pressure or pulse rate was found. In view of the fact that cyclic esotropia may represent an impairment of the "biological clock" thought to be located in the hypothalamus, detailed studies of the hypothalamic hypophyseal axis were performed and found to be normal. It is suggested that if such a biological clock is present, its location is remote from the neural circuits involved in hypothalamic-hypophyseal hormonal release.

Abstract
These studies were performed to see if jejunal malabsorption of magnesium in patients with chronic renal disease was influenced by therapy with 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3; 2 microgram/day by mouth for 7 days]. This treatment restored normal serum concentrations of the vitamin D metabolite from 0.9 +/- 0.2 to 4.2 +/- 0.6 ng/dl. Jejunal absorption of magnesium, measured by a triple-lumen constant-perfusion technique, was enhanced in each of the seven patients by this therapy. The mean value rose from 0.04 +/- 0.02 to 0.13 +/- 0.02 mmol . 30 cm-1 . h-1. This last value is similar to the magnesium absorption rate in untreated normal subjects. These results demonstrate that magnesium absorption in the human jejunum is dependent on vitamin D, and they show that 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 therapy in patients with chronic renal failure is associated with an enhanced jejunal absorption of magnesium.
