Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most prevalent neonatal congenital anomalies. To catalog the putative candidate CHD risk genes, we collected 16,349 variants [single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and Indels] impacting 8,308 genes in 3,166 CHD cases for a comprehensive meta-analysis. Using American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) guidelines, we excluded the 0.1% of benign/likely benign variants and the resulting dataset consisted of 83% predicted loss of function variants and 17% missense variants. Seventeen percent were de novo variants. A stepwise analysis identified 90 variant-enriched CHD genes, of which six (GPATCH1, NYNRIN, TCLD2, CEP95, MAP3K19, and TTC36) were novel candidate CHD genes. Single-cell transcriptome cluster reconstruction analysis on six CHD tissues and four controls revealed upregulation of the top 10 frequently mutated genes primarily in cardiomyocytes. NOTCH1 (highest number of variants) and MYH6 (highest number of recurrent variants) expression was elevated in endocardial cells and cardiomyocytes, respectively, and 60% of these gene variants were associated with tetralogy of Fallot and coarctation of the aorta, respectively. Pseudobulk analysis using the single-cell transcriptome revealed significant (P < 0.05) upregulation of both NOTCH1 (endocardial cells) and MYH6 (cardiomyocytes) in the control heart data. We observed nine different subpopulations of CHD heart cardiomyocytes of which only four were observed in the control heart. This is the first comprehensive meta-analysis combining genomics and CHD single-cell transcriptomics, identifying the most frequently mutated CHD genes, and demonstrating CHD gene heterogeneity, suggesting that multiple genes contribute to the phenotypic heterogeneity of CHD. Cardiomyocytes and endocardial cells are identified as major CHD-related cell types.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Congential heart disease (CHD) is one of the most prevalent neonatal congenital anomalies. We present a comprehensive analysis combining genomics and CHD single-cell transcriptome. Our study identifies 90 potential candidate CHD risk genes of which 6 are novel. The risk genes have heterogenous expression suggestive of multiple genes contributing to the phenotypic heterogeneity of CHD. Cardiomyocytes and endocardial cells are identified as major CHD-related cell types.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study is to evaluate the success rate and safety of both auto-grafts and collagen-based semi-synthetic grafts in patients with dura defects. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective comparative study was conducted at the neurosurgery departments of different hospitals in Peshawar and Faisalabad. Patients were divided into two groups: A (autologous graft) and B (semi-synthetic graft). Dura graft autologous was applied in one group of patients with supratentorial brain surgery. Fascia lata was used, harvested from the lateral thigh, 3 to 5 cm long incision at the junction of the upper and middle one-third of the upper leg. A bone flap was implanted in the subcutaneous region in the abdominal part. Perioperative antibiotics were given to all the patients, and surgical drains placed intraoperatively were removed after 24 hours of surgery. In the second group, semi-synthetic dura grafts of 2.5x2.5 cm and 5x5 cm 7.5x7.5 cm sizes were used. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version v.20. Student's t-test was performed for the two groups to compare categorical variables, and the data were considered statistically significant at p > 0.05. RESULTS In this study, 72 patients of both genders were recruited. We observed that the Semi-synthetic collagen matrix had less surgical time. The mean difference in surgical duration was observed as 40 minutes. However, both groups reported statistically significant differences in terms of surgical duration (< 0.001). No case of infection was reported in both groups. The overall mortality ratio was 12%. Two male deaths were recorded due to cardiovascular disorders, while one death of a 42-year male was also recorded. CONCLUSIONS Based on the above findings, it may be concluded that using a semi-synthetic collagen substitute for dura repair is a simple, safe, and effective alternative to the autologous graft for dura repair in dura defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Interventions to prevent and detect bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) have reduced, but not eliminated the sepsis risk. Standardized bacterial strains are needed to validate detection and pathogen reduction technologies in PCs. Following the establishment of the First International Reference Repository of Platelet Transfusion-Relevant Bacterial Reference Strains (the 'repository'), the World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Biological Standardisation (ECBS) endorsed further repository expansion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen bacterial strains, including the four repository strains, were distributed from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI) to 14 laboratories in 10 countries for enumeration, identification and growth measurement on days 2, 4 and 7 after low spiking levels [10-25 colony-forming units (CFU)/PC bag]. Spore-forming (Bacillus cereusPEI-B-P-07-S, Bacillus thuringiensisPEI-B-P-57-S), Gram-negative (Enterobacter cloacaePEI-B-P-43, Morganella morganiiPEI-B-P-74, PEI-B-P-91, Proteus mirabilisPEI-B-P-55, Pseudomonas fluorescensPEI-B-P-77, Salmonella choleraesuisPEI-B-P-78, Serratia marcescensPEI-B-P-56) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureusPEI-B-P-63, Streptococcus dysgalactiaePEI-B-P-71, Streptococcus bovisPEI-B-P-61) strains were evaluated. RESULTS Bacterial viability was conserved after transport to the participating laboratories with one exception (M. morganiiPEI-B-P-74). All other strains showed moderate-to-excellent growth. Bacillus cereus, B. thuringiensis, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. fluorescens, S. marcescens, S. aureus and S. dysgalactiae grew to >106 CFU/ml by day 2. Enterobacter cloacae, P. mirabilis, S. epidermidis, S. bovis and S. pyogenes achieved >106 CFU/ml at day 4. Growth of S. choleraesuis was lower and highly variable. CONCLUSION The WHO ECBS approved all bacterial strains (except M. morganiiPEI-B-P-74 and S. choleraesuisPEI-B-P-78) for repository enlargement. The strains were stable, suitable for spiking with low CFU numbers, and proliferation was independent of the PC donor.
