Abstract
Digital pathology and artificial intelligence are promising emerging tools in precision oncology as they provide more robust and reproducible analysis of histologic, morphologic and topologic characteristics of tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment. This study aims to develop digital image analysis workflows for therapeutic assessment in preclinical in vivo models. For this purpose, we generated pipelines that enable automatic detection and quantification of vitronectin and αvβ3 in heterotopic high-risk neuroblastoma xenografts, demonstrating that digital analysis workflows can be used to provide robust detection of vitronectin secretion and αvβ3 expression by malignant neuroblasts and to evaluate the possibility of combining traditional chemotherapy (etoposide) with extracellular matrix-targeted therapies (cilengitide). Digital image analysis added evidence for the relevance of territorial vitronectin as a therapeutic target in neuroblastoma, since its expression is modified after treatment, with a mean percentage of 60.44% in combined therapy tumors vs 45.08% in control ones. In addition, the present study revealed the efficacy of cilengitide for reducing αvβ3 expression, with a mean αvβ3 positivity of 34.17% in cilengitide treated material vs 66.14% in control and with less tumor growth when combined with etoposide, with a final mean volume of 0.04 cm3 in combined therapy vs 1.45 cm3 in control. The results of this work highlight the importance of extracellular matrix-focused therapies in preclinical studies to improve therapeutic assessment for high-risk neuroblastoma patients.

Abstract
Background Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a multisystem and ultra-rare hereditary disease characterized by somatic involvement, bone marrow failure, and predisposition to cancer. The main objective of this study is to describe the natural history of DC through a cohort of patients diagnosed in childhood and followed up for a long period of time. Material and methods Multicenter, retrospective, longitudinal study conducted in patients followed up to 24 years since being diagnosed in childhood (between 1998 and 2020). Results Fourteen patients were diagnosed with DC between the ages of 3 and 17 years (median, 8.5 years). They all had hematologic manifestations at diagnosis, and nine developed mucocutaneous manifestations during the first decade of life. Seven presented severe DC variants. All developed non-hematologic manifestations during follow-up. Mutations were identified in 12 patients. Thirteen progressed to bone marrow failure at a median age of 8 years [range, 3-18 years], and eight received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Median follow-up time was 9 years [range, 2-24 years]. Six patients died, the median age was 13 years [range, 6-24 years]. As of November 2022, eight patients were still alive, with a median age of 18 years [range, 6-32 years]. None of them have developed myeloblastic syndrome or cancer. Conclusions DC was associated with high morbidity and mortality in our series. Hematologic manifestations appeared early and consistently. Non-hematologic manifestations developed progressively. No patient developed cancer possibly due to their young age. Due to the complexity of the disease multidisciplinary follow-up and adequate transition to adult care are essential.

Abstract
Dust devils (convective vortices loaded with dust) are common at the surface of Mars, particularly at Jezero crater, the landing site of the Perseverance rover. They are indicators of atmospheric turbulence and are an important lifting mechanism for the Martian dust cycle. Improving our understanding of dust lifting and atmospheric transport is key for accurate simulation of the dust cycle and for the prediction of dust storms, in addition to being important for future space exploration as grain impacts are implicated in the degradation of hardware on the surface of Mars. Here we describe the sound of a Martian dust devil as recorded by the SuperCam instrument on the Perseverance rover. The dust devil encounter was also simultaneously imaged by the Perseverance rover's Navigation Camera and observed by several sensors in the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer instrument. Combining these unique multi-sensorial data with modelling, we show that the dust devil was around 25 m large, at least 118 m tall, and passed directly over the rover travelling at approximately 5 m s-1. Acoustic signals of grain impacts recorded during the vortex encounter provide quantitative information about the number density of particles in the vortex. The sound of a Martian dust devil was inaccessible until SuperCam microphone recordings. This chance dust devil encounter demonstrates the potential of acoustic data for resolving the rapid wind structure of the Martian atmosphere and for directly quantifying wind-blown grain fluxes on Mars.

Abstract
Introducción En el hospital de La Princesa comienza el “Código Sepsis” (CSP) en el año 2015, como un grupo multidisciplinar que dota al personal sanitario de herramientas clínicas, analíticas y organizativas, con el objetivo de la detección y el tratamiento precoz del paciente con sepsis. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el impacto de la implantación de CSP en la mortalidad y determinar las variables asociadas con un aumento de la misma. Material y métodos Se realizó un estudio analítico retrospectivo de los pacientes con activación de la alerta CSP de 2015 a 2018. Se recogieron variables clínico-epidemiológicas, parámetros analíticos y factores de gravedad como el ingreso en Unidades de Cuidados Críticos (UCC) y la necesidad de aminas. La significación estadística se estableció en una p < 0,05. Resultados Se incluyeron 1.121 pacientes. La estancia media fue de 16 días y un 32% requirieron ingreso en UCC. La mortalidad mostró una tendencia lineal descendente estadísticamente significativa del 24% en 2015 hasta el 15% en 2018. Las variables predictivas de mortalidad con asociación estadísticamente significativa fueron el lactato > 2 mmol/L, la creatinina > 1,6 mg/dL y la necesidad de aminas. Conclusiones La implementación de Código Sepsis disminuye la mortalidad de los pacientes con sepsis y shock séptico. La presencia de una cifra de lactato > 2 mmol/L, los niveles de creatinina > 1,6 mg/dL y/o la necesidad de administrar aminas en las primeras 24 horas, se asocian con un aumento de la mortalidad en el paciente con sepsis.

Abstract
Scientific literature is full of works studying the removal of different pollutants from water through different Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). Many of them only suggest it is reused for agricultural purposes or for small crops in pots. This study is based on the reuse of reclaimed agricultural wastewater contaminated with four insecticides (chlorantraniliprole, imidacloprid, pirimicarb and thiamethoxam) for growing lettuce in field conditions. First, solar photocatalysis with TiO2/Na2S2O8 was used on a pilot plant in a sunny area (Murcia, SE of Spain) as an environmentally friendly technology to remove insecticide residues and their main reaction intermediates from contaminated water. The necessary fluence (H, kJ m-2) to accomplish 90% removal (H90) ranged from 0.12 to 1212 kJ m-2 for pirimicarb and chlorantraniliprole, respectively. Only six (derived from imidacloprid, pirimicarb and thiametoxam) of 18 transformation intermediate products studied were detected in reclaimed water during the photoperiod (2000 kJ m-2 of accumulated UVA radiation) although all of them were totally photodegraded after a fluence of 1250 kJ m-2. Secondly, reclaimed agro-wastewater was used to irrigate two lettuce crops grown under greenhouse conditions and under agricultural field conditions. In no cases, insecticide residues nor their TIPs were noticed above their respective LOQs (limits of quantification) in soil and lettuce samples (between 0.03 and 0.04 μg kg-1 for pirimicarb and 2.49 and 2.23 μg kg-1 for thiamethoxam, respectively) when they were irrigated with reclaimed water, while residues of the four insecticides and some of their intermediates were found in soil and lettuce by the end of cultivation when they were irrigated with non-reclaimed contaminated water. According to the results, this technology can be applied in a sustainable way, mainly in areas with water scarcity and high solar radiation, contributing to water utilisation in drought areas and the use of renewable energy.

Abstract
Introduction
Myocardial strain quantification by speckle-tracking of the right ventricle (RV) and left atrium (LA) can be performed by manual or automatic methods.
Purpose
The objective of our study is to evaluate the degree of correlation between manual measurement method and automatic software used in our imaging laboratory, in a population of healthy individuals and patients with cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR).
Methods
Fifty-seven individuals were included, 30 patients with ATTR and 27 healthy volunteers, who underwent a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) from January to December 2019. Classic echocardiographic parameters and myocardial deformation were obtained according to the ASE/ EACVI guidelines. Global and free wall longitudinal strain of the RV (RVGLS, RVFWLS) and LA global strain (LAGS) analysis were obtained using speckle-tracking with two different software: QLAB Philips 10.7 and AutoSTRAIN Tomtec. Measurements analysis was performed by two experienced echocardiographers. Correlation and reproducibility analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively.
Results
Seventy-two percent were male and average age was 63±20 years. Linear correlation of RVGLS, RVFWLS and LAGS measurements with both methods reached statistical significance (table). This correlation was stronger and more reliable in the case of the LAGS. The attached figure shows the correlation between the different software in both groups.
Conclusions
AutoSTRAIN Tomtec automatic measurement method had higher reliability and correlation comparing to manual measurements performed by QLAB 10.7, especially in LA measurements. The obtained results, the application speed and the less operator's dependence of this automatic software support its routine use for RV and LA strain quantification.

Abstract
Our understanding of chronic inflammation in obesity is evolving. Suggested mechanisms include hypoxia of adipose tissue and a subsequent increase in circulating cytokines. It is now known that adipose tissue, far from being an inert tissue, produces and secretes multiple peptides that influence inflammation and metabolism, including substrates of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). RAAS blocking antihypertensive medication and cholesterol-lowering agents are now being evaluated for their metabolic and inflammation-modulating effects. Surgery also has pro-inflammatory effects, which may be exacerbated in patients with obesity. This narrative review will summarise the recent literature surrounding obesity, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and interplay with the RAAS, with evidence-based recommendations for the optimisation of patients with obesity, prior to surgery and anaesthesia.

Abstract
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Spleen is frequently damaged in abdominal trauma. Patients with splenic injury with hemodynamic instability, peritonism signs or other surgical injuries need emergent surgery. Hemodynamically stable patients are treated conservatively. Splenic embolization is indicated in injuries with blush, pseudoaneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas. It is unclear its indication in IV and V-grade splenic injuries without contrast extravasation.
Our hypothesis is that IV and V-grade splenic injuries embolization decreases conservative treatment failure.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Retrospective observational study, including all patients with blunt splenic injuries, prospectively included in our registry of polytraumatic patients (>16 years) since 2006.
RESULTS
One hundred and seventy patients have been included since 2006. In 2006-2013, when splenic injuries with active bleeding, pseudoaneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas were embolized, 94 patients were included. 37,2% required surgery and 62,8% conservative treatment. Splenic embolization was performed in 17% of patients who were treated conservatively. Conservative treatment failure was 16,9%: 10 cases out of those who underwent medical treatment (4 required embolization and 6 needed surgery).
From 2014 to the present, when IV and V-grade injuries were included in the indications for embolization, 76 patients have been included. 38,2% required surgery and 61,8% were treated conservatively (40,4% were embolized and the rest were treated medically). One case (3,6%) of those treated medically and another (5,3%) of those embolized failed. Overall failure of conservative treatment was 4,3%.
CONCLUSION
Embolization of IV and V-grade splenic injuries decreases conservative treatment failure from 16,9% to 4,3%.

Abstract
NASA's Mars 2020 (M2020) rover mission includes a suite of sensors to monitor current environmental conditions near the surface of Mars and to constrain bulk aerosol properties from changes in atmospheric radiation at the surface. The Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) consists of a set of meteorological sensors including wind sensor, a barometer, a relative humidity sensor, a set of 5 thermocouples to measure atmospheric temperature at ∼1.5 m and ∼0.5 m above the surface, a set of thermopiles to characterize the thermal IR brightness temperatures of the surface and the lower atmosphere. MEDA adds a radiation and dust sensor to monitor the optical atmospheric properties that can be used to infer bulk aerosol physical properties such as particle size distribution, non-sphericity, and concentration. The MEDA package and its scientific purpose are described in this document as well as how it responded to the calibration tests and how it helps prepare for the human exploration of Mars. A comparison is also presented to previous environmental monitoring payloads landed on Mars on the Viking, Pathfinder, Phoenix, MSL, and InSight spacecraft.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg at rest, measured by right heart catheterization (RHC).
Purpose
To describe classical and myocardial deformation echocardiographic parameters in patients with established PH and to identify prognostic variables
Methods
We prospectively enrolled 76 patients with mPAP ≥25 mmHg undergoing RHC between 2017 and 2018. All subjects underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) according to the latest ASE/EACVI guidelines the same day of the RHC. Strain analysis was carried out by speckle-tracking echocardiography (QLAB 10.7, Philips). Clinical events during the follow-up were: acute heart failure hospitalization, cardiac transplant and all-cause mortality.
Results
Mean age was 59±12, 43.4% were women and 49 patients (64.5%) belonged to group 2 of PH. The median follow-up was 288 (ICR 92–534) days. Total number of events was 42 (55.3%, 9 deaths). Variables associated to events are shown in Table 1. All classic LV and RV systolic function and strain parameters were associated with a worse prognosis, being free-wall RV longitudinal strain (RVLS) the only one that remained as a prognostic factor in mutivariate analysis. Other variables associated with a worse prognosis were PCP>15 mmHg and NT-proBNP>1800, the latter being independent predictor of events. The attached figure shows event-free survival curves for the global population divided according to whether or not they belong to group II PH.
Conclusions
Our data highlight the prognostic value of free-wall RVLS and NT-proBNP in patients with established PH. NT-ProBNP was only useful in group II PH while free-wall RVLS identified patients with a higher risk of events in both groups, mainly in patients with heart disease

Abstract
In Mediterranean countries, reuse of reclaimed water is essential for crop irrigation. The occurrence of pesticides in agro-wastewater may represent a risk for human health and environment owing to their release in soil and translocation to plants. The novelty of this work relies on the reuse of reclaimed agro-wastewater polluted with thirteen pesticides for lettuce irrigation. Removing of pesticide residues in agro-wastewater was carried out using natural sunlight and TiO2/Na2S2O8 in a pilot facility located in Murcia (SE of Spain). The studied pesticides were azoxystrobin, boscalid, chlorpropham, flutolanil, flutriafol, isoxaben, methoxyfenozide, myclobutanil, napropamide, prochloraz, propamocarb, propyzamide and triadimenol, which are commonly used in southeast Spain to treat lettuces grown. Different heterogeneous and homogeneous processes were studied and compared. Previously, the optimization of the process for the selection of the best catalytic system was performed at lab-scale. TiO2+ S2O82- was selected due to the greater effectiveness, achieving almost complete disappearance after about 400 kJ m-2 of cumulative UVA exposure. No significant differences were observed in quality parameters of lettuce grown using treated and non-treated agro-wastewater.

Abstract
In this work, we have studied the removal of eight pesticides, commonly used in fruit crops, in agro-wastewater generated in commercial farms by the cleaning of trace of phytosanitary products in containers and tanks from treatment equipment. The studied pesticides were acetamiprid, cyproconazole, cyprodinil, difenoconazole, fenhexamid, hexythiazox, myclobutanil and thiamethoxam. The trials were performed in a pilot facility located in Murcia (SE of Spain), using natural sunlight and titanium dioxide (TiO2) in tandem with Na2S2O8. Five photocatalytic treatments were carried out during autumn 2017. Results show that the mean (n = 5) final amount was about 13% of the initial pesticide mass present in agro-wastewater. Therefore, we have proved that this technology could be used for tackling the elimination of pesticide residues in agro-wastewater and has favourable prospects of being applied in the water treatment sector.

Abstract
In this update of the consensus of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica—SEOM) and the Spanish Society of Pathology (Sociedad Española de Anatomía Patológica—SEAP), advances in the analysis of biomarkers in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) as well as susceptibility markers of hereditary CRC and molecular biomarkers of localized CRC are reviewed. Recently published information on the essential determination of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutations and the convenience of determining the amplification of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), the expression of proteins in the DNA repair pathway and the study of NTRK fusions are also evaluated. From the pathological point of view, the importance of analysing the tumour budding and poorly differentiated clusters, and its prognostic value in CRC is reviewed, as well as the impact of molecular lymph node analysis on lymph node staging in CRC. The incorporation of pan-genomic technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and liquid biopsy in the clinical management of patients with CRC is also outlined. All these aspects are developed in this guide, which, like the previous one, will remain open to any necessary revision in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Given the high prevalence of erectile dysfunction in male population between 40-70 years old and the effect of radical prostatectomy on this domain, it is important to perform a baseline study. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prior radical prostatectomy, erectile function has been assessed prospectively in 112 prostate cancer patients using the erectile function (EF) domain of the International Index of Erectile Function (EF-IIEF), Erectile Hardness Score (EHS) and a penile doppler ultrasound (PDUS). Comorbidities and Charlson index were collected. The EORTC QLQ C-30 and PR-25 tests were administered. RESULTS According to EF-IIEF questionnaire, 50.9% of patients showed normal EF and EHS grade 3-4 erection was achieved in the 75.9%. PDUS was normal only in 28.6% of patients and 51.8% showed arterial insufficiency. We found a significant association (P<.0001) between categorized EF-IIEF (normal, mild/moderate/severe) and the EHS value. Between PDUS (normal vs. pathologic) and EHS (3-4 vs. 1-2) statistically significant association (P=.005) was found. Just 35.3% of patients with EHS 3-4 showed normal PDUS. Correlation between the PDUS and the EF-IIEF (≥26 vs.<26) was statistically significant (P=.043). Moreover, only 38.6% of patients with EF-IIEF≥26 had a normal PDUS. CONCLUSIONS In order to predict EF recovery after surgery, global assessment is required. Solely self-administered tests are not enough. In this baseline study, PDUS can play an important role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of dietary patterns in the prevention of unipolar depression has been analyzed in several epidemiological studies. The primary aims of this study are to determine the effectiveness of an extra-olive oil-enriched Mediterranean diet in reducing the recurrence of depression and improving the symptoms of this condition. METHODS Multicenter, two-arm, parallel-group clinical trial. Arm 1, extra-virgin olive oil Mediterranean diet; Arm 2, control group without nutritional intervention. Dieticians are in charge of the nutritional intervention and regular contact with the participants. Contacts are made through our web platform ( https://predidep.es/participantes/ ) or by phone. Recurrence of depression is assessed by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists through clinical evaluations (semi-structured clinical interviews: Spanish SCID-I). Depressive symptoms are assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory. Information on quality of life, level of physical activity, dietary habits, and blood, urine and stool samples are collected after the subject has agreed to participate in the study and once a year. DISCUSSION To the best of our knowledge, the PREDI-DEP trial is the first ongoing randomized clinical trial designed to assess the role of the Mediterranean diet in the prevention of recurrent depression. It could be a cost-effective approach to avoid recurrence and improve the quality of life of these patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study has been prospectively registered in the U.S. National Library of Medicine ( https://clinicaltrials.gov ) with NCT number: NCT03081065.

Abstract
This work presents a detailed analysis of the laboratory and astrophysical spectral data available for 28SiC2, 29SiC2,30SiC2, Si13CC, and Si2C. New data on the rotational lines of these species between 70 and 350 GHz have been obtained with high spectral resolution (195 kHz) with the IRAM 30m telescope in the direction of the circumstellar envelope IRC +10216. Frequency measurements can reach an accuracy of 50 kHz for features observed with a good signal to noise ratio. From the observed astrophysical lines and the available laboratory data new rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been derived for all the isotopologues of SiC2, allowing to predict their spectrum with high accuracy in the millimeter and submillimeter domains. Improved rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have also been obtained for disilicon carbide, Si2C. This work shows that observations of IRC +10216 taken with the IRAM 30m telescope, with a spectral resolution of 195 kHz, can be used for any molecular species detected in this source to derive, or improve, its rotational constants. Hence, IRC +10216 in addition to be one the richest sources in molecular species in the sky, can also be used as a state-of-the-art spectroscopy laboratory in the millimeter and submillimeter domains.

Abstract
We report the discovery in space of methyl silane, CH3SiH3, from observations of ten rotational transitions between 80 and 350 GHz (Ju from 4 to 16) with the IRAM 30 m radio telescope. The molecule was observed in the envelope of the C-star IRC +10216. The observed profiles and our models for the expected emission of methyl silane suggest that the it is formed in the inner zones of the circumstellar envelope, 1-40 R*, with an abundance of (0.5-1) × 10-8 relative to H2. We also observed several rotational transitions of silyl cyanide (SiH3CN), confirming its presence in IRC +10216 in particular, and in space in general. Our models indicate that silyl cyanide is also formed in the inner regions of the envelope, around 20 R*, with an abundance relative to H2 of 6×10-10. The possible formation mechanisms of both species are discussed. We also searched for related chemical species but only upper limits could be obtained.

Abstract
Nongestational, nongonadal, and nonteratoma-related choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare entity. The tumor may be pure or associated with carcinoma. Six cases of primary endometrial carcinomas with the presence of syncytiotrophoblastlike beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG)-positive cells have been reported. We describe a case of endometrial carcinoma in a postmenopausal woman, that was composed almost entirely of syncytiotrophoblastic and cytotrophoblastic elements, except in the areas of lymphatic and myometrial invasion, where the neoplasm expressed a papillary serous carcinoma conformation with numerous psammoma bodies. There was not a clear transition between choriocarcinoma and serous carcinoma components. Immunohistochemically, beta-HCG was strongly positive in trophoblastic cells, whereas papillary areas expressed epithelial membrane antigen. These results suggest a double differentiation from malignant stem cells toward an extraembryonal germinal line and a papillary epithelial line. A poor prognosis is expected for this type of neoplasm with extraembryonic differentiation. In the present case, the histologic subtype of uterine papillary serous carcinoma could be an additional risk factor.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a neoplasm of the sympathetic nervous system, and is the most common solid tumor of infancy. NBs are very heterogeneous, with a clinical course ranging from spontaneous regression to resistance to all current forms of treatment. High-risk patients need intense chemotherapy, and only 30-40% will be cured. Relapsed or metastatic tumors acquire multi-drug resistance, raising the need for alternative treatments. Owing to the diverse mechanisms that are responsible of NB chemoresistance, we aimed to target epigenetic factors that control multiple pathways to bypass therapy resistance. We found that the SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, member 4 (SMARCA4/BRG1) was consistently upregulated in advanced stages of NB, with high BRG1 levels being indicative of poor outcome. Loss-of-function experiments in vitro and in vivo showed that BRG1 is essential for the proliferation of NB cells. Furthermore, whole-genome transcriptome analysis revealed that BRG1 controls the expression of key elements of oncogenic pathways such as PI3K/AKT and BCL2, which offers a promising new combination therapy for high-risk NB.

Abstract
Immunomodulatory components of helminths offer great promise as an entirely new class of biologics for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Here, we discuss the emerging themes in helminth-driven immunomodulation in the context of therapeutic drug discovery. We broadly define the approaches that are currently applied by researchers to identify these helminth molecules, highlighting key areas of potential exploitation that have been mostly neglected thus far, notably small molecules. Finally, we propose that the investigation of immunomodulatory compounds will enable the translation of current and future research efforts into potential treatments for autoimmune and allergic diseases, while at the same time yielding new insights into the molecular interface of host-parasite biology.

Abstract
Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), lung infiltration of Th2 cells, and high levels of IgE. To date, allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is the only treatment that effectively alleviates clinical symptoms and has a long-term effect after termination. Unfortunately, SIT is unsuitable for plurisensitized patients, and highly immunogenic allergens cannot be used. To overcome these hurdles, we sought to induce regulatory CD4(+) T cells (Treg) specific to an exogenous antigen that could be later activated as needed in vivo to control allergic responses. We have established an experimental approach in which mice tolerized to ovalbumin (OVA) were sensitized to the Leishmania homolog of receptors for activated c kinase (LACK) antigen, and subsequently challenged with aerosols of LACK alone or LACK and OVA together. Upon OVA administration, AHR and allergic airway responses were strongly reduced. OVA-induced suppression was mediated by CD25(+) Treg, required CTLA-4 and ICOS signaling and resulted in decreased numbers of migrating airway dendritic cells leading to a strong impairment in the proliferation of allergen-specific Th2 cells. Therefore, inducing Treg specific to a therapeutic antigen that could be further activated in vivo may represent a safe and novel curative approach for allergic asthma.

Abstract
The photodegradation of indoxacarb, a broad spectrum foliar insecticide and spinosad, a natural insecticide containing two active ingredients, spinosyn A (major component) and spinosyn D (minor component), was studied in aqueous suspensions of binary (ZnO and TiO2) and ternary (Zn2TiO4 and ZnTiO3) oxides under artificial light (300-460 nm) irradiation. As expected, the influence of the semiconductor materials on the degradation of both was very significant in all cases. Photocatalytic experiments showed that the addition of semiconductors in tandem with Na2S2O8 as electron acceptor strongly improved the removal of indoxacarb and spinosad in water compared with the photolytic tests. The reaction rates significantly increased, especially for the ZnO/Na2S2O8 and TiO2/Na2S2O8 systems. The first-order equation (monophasic model) satisfactorily explained the disappearance process, although it offered no explanation for the small concentrations remaining in the process.

Abstract
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a complex genetic disease associated with a defective DNA repair pathway known as the FA pathway. In contrast to many other FA proteins, BRCA2 participates downstream in this pathway and has a critical role in homology-directed recombination (HDR). In our current studies, we have observed an extremely low reprogramming efficiency in cells with a hypomorphic mutation in Brca2 (Brca2(Δ) (27/) (Δ27)), that was associated with increased apoptosis and defective generation of nuclear RAD51 foci during the reprogramming process. Gene complementation facilitated the generation of Brca2(Δ) (27/) (Δ27) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with a disease-free FA phenotype. Karyotype analyses and comparative genome hybridization arrays of complemented Brca2(Δ) (27/) (Δ27) iPSCs showed, however, the presence of different genetic alterations in these cells, most of which were not evident in their parental Brca2(Δ) (27/) (Δ27) mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Gene-corrected Brca2(Δ) (27/) (Δ27) iPSCs could be differentiated in vitro toward the hematopoietic lineage, although with a more limited efficacy than WT iPSCs or mouse embryonic stem cells, and did not engraft in irradiated Brca2(Δ) (27/) (Δ27) recipients. Our results are consistent with previous studies proposing that HDR is critical for cell reprogramming and demonstrate that reprogramming defects characteristic of Brca2 mutant cells can be efficiently overcome by gene complementation. Finally, based on analysis of the phenotype, genetic stability, and hematopoietic differentiation potential of gene-corrected Brca2(Δ) (27/) (Δ) (27) iPSCs, achievements and limitations in the application of current reprogramming approaches in hematopoietic stem cell therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
Objective—
To confirm the effect of the endothelial protein receptor gene (
PROCR
) haplotypes H1 and H3 on venous thromboembolism (VTE), to study their effect on endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and to investigate the functionality of H1 tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms in an in vitro model.
Approach and Results—
Protein C (PC), activated PC, and soluble EPCR (sEPCR) levels were measured in 702 patients with VTE and 518 healthy individuals. All subjects were genotyped for
PROCR
H1 and H3. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells isolated from 111 umbilical cords were used to study the relation between
PROCR
haplotypes,
PROCR
mRNA, cellular distribution of EPCR, and rate of PC activation. Finally, the functionality of the intragenic
PROCR
H1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms was analyzed using a luciferase-based method. We confirmed that individuals carrying H1 have reduced VTE risk, increased plasma activated PC levels, and reduced plasma sEPCR levels and that individuals with the H3H3 genotype have an increased VTE risk and increased plasma sEPCR levels. In cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells, H1 is associated with increased membrane-bound EPCR, increased rate of PC activation, and reduced sEPCR in conditioned medium, but does not significantly influence
PROCR
mRNA levels. In contrast, H3 is associated with reduced membrane-bound EPCR and increased sEPCR in human umbilical vein endothelial cell–conditioned medium, higher levels of a truncated mRNA isoform, and a lower rate of PC activation. Finally, we identified the g.2132T>C single-nucleotide polymorphism in intron 1 as an intragenic H1-specific functional single-nucleotide polymorphism.
Conclusions—
These results support a protective role of
PROCR
H1 against VTE and an increased risk of VTE associated with the H3 haplotype.

Abstract
AIM Severity of acute diverticulitis (AD) has traditionally been assessed using the Hinchey classification; however, this classification is predominantly a surgical one. The Neff classification provides an alternative classification based on CT findings. The aim of this study was to evaluate a modification of the Neff classification to select patients presenting with early-stage AD to receive outpatient management. METHOD All patients with AD, presenting to a single unit, were prospectively studied. All patients underwent emergency abdominal CT and were assigned a Neff stage, including a modification (mNeff) to Neff Stage I. The Neff stages used were: Stage 0, uncomplicated diverticulitis; Diverticula, thickening of the wall, increased density of the pericolic fat; Stage I, locally complicated (our modification included substages Ia (localized pneumoperitoneum in the form of air bubbles) and Ib (local abscess); Stage II, complicated with pelvic abscess; Stage III, complicated with distant abscess; and Stage IV, complicated with other distant complications. Patients who presented with Stage 0 or Stage Ia were selectively managed as outpatients. Patients with comorbidity or the presence of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) were excluded. RESULTS Between February 2010 and January 2013, 205 patients (mean age 59 years; age range 25-90 years) presented with AD. One-hundred and forty-nine met the radiological criteria for potential outpatient treatment. After applying the exclusion criteria, 68 were eventually assigned to an outpatient programme. Sixty-four (94%) successfully completed the outpatient treatment protocol; four patients were readmitted. CONCLUSION Our mNeff classification allowed selected patients with AD to be successfully managed in an outpatient programme.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High school students are an important target audience for organ donation education. A novel educational intervention focused on Hispanic American (HA) high school students might improve organ donation rates. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted in five Los Angeles High Schools with a high percentage of HA students. A "culturally sensitive" educational program was administered to students in grades 9 to 12. Preintervention surveys that assessed awareness, knowledge, perception, and beliefs regarding donation as well as the intent to become an organ donor were compared to postintervention surveys. RESULTS A total of 10,146 high school students participated in the study. After exclusions, 4876 preintervention and 3182 postintervention surveys were analyzed. A significant increase in the overall knowledge, awareness, and beliefs regarding donation was observed after the intervention, as evidenced by a significant increase in the percentage of correct answers on the survey (41% pre- versus 44% postintervention, P < .0001). When specifically examining HA students, there was a significant increase in the intent to donate organs (adjusted odds ratio 1.21, 95% confidence interval: 1.09, 1.34, P = .0003). CONCLUSION This is the first study to demonstrate a significant increase in the intent to donate among HA high school students following an educational intervention.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of first-line radiotherapy on low-grade gliomas (LGGs) growth kinetics. The mean tumor diameter (MTD) of 39 LGGs was retrospectively measured on serial magnetic resonance images before (n = 16) and after radiotherapy onset (n = 39). After radiotherapy, a decrease of the MTD was observed in 37 patients. Median duration of the MTD decrease was 1.9 years (range 0-8.1 years). According to RANO criteria, the rates of partial and minor responses were 15 and 28 % at the first evaluation after radiotherapy and 36 and 34 % at the time of maximal MTD decrease. The presence of a 1p19q codeletion and the absence of p53 expression were associated with longer durations of MTD decrease (5.3 vs 1 years, p = 0.02 and 2.4 vs 1.8 years, p = 0.05, respectively) while no association was observed between IDH1-R132H expression and duration of MTD decrease. In most patients, MTD decrease after radiotherapy occurred in two phases: an initial phase of rapid MTD decrease followed by a second phase of slower MTD decrease. Patients with a high rate of MTD decrease during the initial phase (>7 mm/year) had both a shorter duration of response (1.9 vs 5.3 years, p = 0.003) and a shorter overall survival (5.5 vs 11.6 years, p = 0.0004). LGGs commonly display a prolonged and ongoing volume decrease after radiotherapy. However, patients who respond rapidly should be carefully monitored because they are at a higher risk of rapid progression.
