Abstract
BACKGROUND The National Family Health Survey of India (NFHS-5) revealed a lapse in the advancement of mitigating anemia despite free supplementation of iron-folic acid tablets (IFAT) and improvement in IFAT coverage during pregnancy. The local sociocultural beliefs and community perspective toward IFAT are pivotal in reducing the gap between IFAT coverage and consumption. Hence, we proposed the study to assess adherence to IFAT among rural pregnant women and explore the associated factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study was conducted as a mixed-methods study with a sequential exploratory design in a rural setting of the Model Rural Health Research Unit (MRHRU) from October 2020 to May 2021. Ten focus group discussions (FGDs; 8 - antenatal women, 1 - mother/mother-in-law, and 1 - health care worker) were conducted, and framework analysis was done to identify themes followed by a quantitative survey with a semi-structured questionnaire among antenatal women (n = 236). Logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with adherence. RESULTS The major themes that emerged from FGDs were the sociocultural factors (gender norms, communal fallacies), lack of awareness, and drug-related factors (unpalatability, misperceptions, and experienced side effects). Around 57% were adherent to IFAT. Side effects experienced on IFAT intake (P = 0.001, OR = 2.33), misconceptions regarding IFAT, like weight gain in IFAT use (P = 0.001, OR = 2.86), a big baby with IFAT use (P = 0.000, OR = 5.93) negatively influenced adherence. CONCLUSIONS The significant gaps between IFAT coverage and consumption surrounded the unpleasant odor and stench of IFAT, side effects, lack of individualized counseling, and misperceptions regarding IFAT use.

Abstract
Objective Neurodevelopmental disorders NDD are neurologic processing problems that interfere with learning in children. Primary and preschool teachers who are essential links in public health reach out to such children do not receive any formal training to identify these disorders. Hence, a primary and preschool level intervention addressing the issue is proposed. Materials and Methods Primary and preschool teachers of government and government-aided schools and Anganwadi/preschools in the Model Rural Health Research Unit Tirunelveli field practice area will be assigned into two groups. The training module will be developed and validated using neurodevelopmental screening tool (NDST). Before identifying the students using the NDST, the teachers in Group A will get training using the module. Group B is the control group, in which untrained teachers administer the NDST to the children and then will be trained. Neurologists will assess the same children over 1 year. Results The effectiveness of teacher training for the early detection of children with NDD will be assessed. Thus, the validity of the screening for NDD by the teachers will be estimated. Conclusion If successful, the module can be incorporated into the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram program of India for the early identification of children with NDD.

Abstract
Introduction Globally, breast cancer affects 2.5 million people annually. Younger women with advanced-stage cancers had a lower survival rate, but early detection enhanced survival chances by 27 to 47%. Breast self-examination (BSE) has led to early detection and higher rates of benign biopsies. Studies evaluating the psychosocial impact of BSE are few in India which has been attempted in the present study. Methods The community-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among rural women aged 30 years and above, who have done BSE at least once without present or prior breast abnormalities in the field practice area of Model Rural Health Research Unit, Tirunelveli. The research questionnaire was developed based on the findings of focus group discussion (FGD) on the same objective in the study area. Results Among 379 participants, 146 (38.5%) felt confident in their BSE knowledge, 28.2% (n=107) and 5.5% (n=21) of the respondents experienced anxiety and depression while practising BSE, respectively. There is a significant difference between the mean anxiety levels (p-value=0.002) and depression (p-value=0.013) of individuals who have detected anomalies during BSE and those who have not. Conclusion Regular counselling has to improve knowledge about BSE, like the timing and method of examination, and decreases the anxiety and depression level.

Abstract
AIMS The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Registry aims to identify international patterns in NSTEMI management in clinical practice and outcomes against the 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting without ST-segment-elevation. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutively hospitalised adult NSTEMI patients (n = 3620) were enrolled between 11 March 2019 and 6 March 2021, and individual patient data prospectively collected at 287 centres in 59 participating countries during a two-week enrolment period per centre. The registry collected data relating to baseline characteristics, major outcomes (in-hospital death, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, bleeding, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and 30-day mortality) and guideline-recommended NSTEMI care interventions: electrocardiogram pre- or in-hospital, pre-hospitalization receipt of aspirin, echocardiography, coronary angiography, referral to cardiac rehabilitation, smoking cessation advice, dietary advice, and prescription on discharge of aspirin, P2Y12 inhibition, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), beta-blocker, and statin. CONCLUSION The EORP NSTEMI Registry is an international, prospective registry of care and outcomes of patients treated for NSTEMI, which will provide unique insights into the contemporary management of hospitalised NSTEMI patients, compliance with ESC 2015 NSTEMI Guidelines, and identify potential barriers to optimal management of this common clinical presentation associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Background Autoinflammatory disorders are the group of inherited inflammatory disorders caused due to the genetic defect in the genes that regulates innate immune systems. These have been clinically characterized based on the duration and occurrence of unprovoked fever, skin rash, and patient’s ancestry. There are several autoinflammatory disorders that are found to be prevalent in a specific population and whose disease genetic epidemiology within the population has been well understood. However, India has a limited number of genetic studies reported for autoinflammatory disorders till date. The whole genome sequencing and analysis of 1029 Indian individuals performed under the IndiGen project persuaded us to perform the genetic epidemiology of the autoinflammatory disorders in India. Results We have systematically annotated the genetic variants of 56 genes implicated in autoinflammatory disorder. These genetic variants were reclassified into five categories (i.e., pathogenic, likely pathogenic, benign, likely benign, and variant of uncertain significance (VUS)) according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Association of Molecular pathology (ACMG-AMP) guidelines. Our analysis revealed 20 pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants with significant differences in the allele frequency compared with the global population. We also found six causal founder variants in the IndiGen dataset belonging to different ancestry. We have performed haplotype prediction analysis for founder mutations haplotype that reveals the admixture of the South Asian population with other populations. The cumulative carrier frequency of the autoinflammatory disorder in India was found to be 3.5% which is much higher than reported. Conclusion With such frequency in the Indian population, there is a great need for awareness among clinicians as well as the general public regarding the autoinflammatory disorder. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first and most comprehensive population scale genetic epidemiological study being reported from India.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Many asymptomatic patients are diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection on screening, which might alter their expected course of illness. We wanted to study the incidence, risk factors, and ARDS outcomes in these patients admitted to our ITU.
Method
A review of all admissions (medical, surgical, and obstetric) to our ITU from May to October 2020 was done after institutional ethics approval. Age, gender, comorbidities, admission diagnosis, APACHE II score, and in-hospital course were studied. ARDS was defined as PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 mmHg (with PEEP or CPAP ≥ 5 cmH2O) in the absence of cardiac failure or fluid overload. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Services (SPSS) software Version 21.0 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp).
Results
Of the 832 cases, 119 (14.3%) had SARS-CoV-2 infection. 41 of 119 (34.4%) cases developed ARDS. Among the comorbidities studied, only hypertension (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.0-6.2) seemed to increase ARDS odds. Patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI) had a higher incidence of ARDS when compared to the asymptomatic ones (P < .05). Patients with sepsis (OR 5.8, 95% CI 2.4-13.7) and APACHE II score ≥10 (OR 5, 95% CI 2.0-12.3) had higher odds of developing ARDS. Age, gender, trauma, and recent surgery did not seem to increase the risk of ARDS.
Conclusions
Even though COVID-19 patients admitted with SARI and sepsis are at a higher risk of developing ARDS, further research will be needed to predict the extent to which SARS-CoV-2 infection will influence the course of their illness.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality. It is essential to ensure quality in insertion, maintenance, and timely removal of central lines. Our ICU follows a protocol to remove unused lines after five days. We have an electronic alert system to monitor these lines, and we wanted to audit its usage and improve its efficacy.
Method
This project was designed using QI methodology and was carried out in a Level III Surgical ICU. We implemented two PDSA cycles in August and December 2020. After the first cycle, an online survey was performed among ICU doctors to gauge their knowledge of the alert system and local protocols. Based on the above results, an educational session was carried out, showing a step-by-step guide to using the alert system, and a re-audit was done in December.
Results
The first cycle showed that alerts were created for only 17 (25%) of 68 lines. Also, the survey revealed that about 30% of doctors were unfamiliar with the alert system. After the intervention, adherence to the alert system increased to 65% (alerts for 41 of 63 lines). There was also a significant improvement in the mean number of central line days from 6.4 (SD = 3.1) to 4.2 (SD = 2.8) [P < .05].
Conclusions
It is crucial to monitor central lines, and simple educational sessions about local protocols can bring success in implementing sustainable change in quality. We suggest hospitals have systems to monitor the central lines and regularly audit their effectiveness.

Abstract
Aim: Numerous drugs are being widely prescribed for COVID-19 treatment without any direct evidence for the drug safety/efficacy in patients across diverse ethnic populations. Materials & methods: We analyzed whole genomes of 1029 Indian individuals (IndiGen) to understand the extent of drug–gene (pharmacogenetic), drug–drug and drug–drug–gene interactions associated with COVID-19 therapy in the Indian population. Results: We identified 30 clinically significant pharmacogenetic variants and 73 predicted deleterious pharmacogenetic variants. COVID-19-associated pharmacogenes were substantially overlapped with those of metabolic disorder therapeutics. CYP3A4, ABCB1 and ALB are the most shared pharmacogenes. Fifteen COVID-19 therapeutics were predicted as likely drug–drug interaction candidates when used with four CYP inhibitor drugs. Conclusion: Our findings provide actionable insights for future validation studies and improved clinical decisions for COVID-19 therapy in Indians.

Abstract
With the advent of next-generation sequencing, large-scale initiatives for mining whole genomes and exomes have been employed to better understand global or population-level genetic architecture. India encompasses more than 17% of the world population with extensive genetic diversity, but is under-represented in the global sequencing datasets. This gave us the impetus to perform and analyze the whole genome sequencing of 1029 healthy Indian individuals under the pilot phase of the 'IndiGen' program. We generated a compendium of 55,898,122 single allelic genetic variants from geographically distinct Indian genomes and calculated the allele frequency, allele count, allele number, along with the number of heterozygous or homozygous individuals. In the present study, these variants were systematically annotated using publicly available population databases and can be accessed through a browsable online database named as 'IndiGenomes' http://clingen.igib.res.in/indigen/. The IndiGenomes database will help clinicians and researchers in exploring the genetic component underlying medical conditions. Till date, this is the most comprehensive genetic variant resource for the Indian population and is made freely available for academic utility. The resource has also been accessed extensively by the worldwide community since it's launch.

Abstract
Introduction: Early identification of severe disease in Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection is important to reduce mortality and for the efficient allocation of medical resources. Several studies have established that severe cases of COVID-19 infections tend to have a higher Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and is an independent predictor of mortality. Aim: This study aimed to determine whether NLR can serve as a predictor of the prognosis of COVID-19 infections in Indian patients. Materials and Methods: This study was an ambispective observational single centre study conducted in Tirunelveli Medical College from March 2020 to July 2020. Clinical and laboratory data of 1100 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infected patients were reviewed in this study. The patients were categorised as, asymptomatic, mild, moderate, and severe cases based on their clinical presentation. The demographic, clinical characteristics and laboratory data on the day of admission were analysed and compared by tertiles of the NLR. The receiver operating curve was applied to determine the threshold of NLR and the prognostic value was assessed via the Kaplan-Meier curve and regression models. Results: A total of 1100 cases were included in the study and were subdivided based on the clinical presentation into mild (n=226), moderate (n=27), severe (n=67), and asymptomatic (n=780) cases. The overall mortality rate was 4.9%. The ROC curve indicated that NLR is a better predictor of severe disease than other haematological parameters, with 89.3% Area Under the Curve (AUC) at the cut-off value of 2.81 with 80.6% sensitivity and 87.1% specificity. Multivariate analysis established that patients with NLR >2.8 had higher odds (OR=19.809, 95% CI-10.159-38.622) of severe infection and mortality (HR=1.110, 95% CI-1.088-1.113). Kaplan-Meier curve showed a significant difference (p-value<0.001) in the duration of hospital stay between patients with NLR <2.8 (Mean=10.4 days) and NLR >2.8 (13.1 days). Conclusion: Early identification of COVID-19 patients with severe disease is important to reduce mortality. Elevated NLR is associated with severe disease in Severe Acute Resiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. NLR >2.8 in Indian population, may aid in identification of severe illness necessitating early access to intensive care unit and requirement of respiratory support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Medical illnesses seen in persons with psychiatric disorders are important but often ignored causes of increased morbidity and mortality. Hence, a community level intervention program addressing the issue is proposed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with severe mental illnesses will be identified by a door-to-door survey and assessed for comorbid physical illnesses like anemia, hypertension, diabetes, and so on. They will then be randomized into two groups. The treatment as usual (TAU) group will not receive intervention from the trained community level workers, while the Intervention group will receive it. RESULTS The two groups will be compared for the prevalence and severity of comorbid physical illnesses. The expected outcome is compared to the TAU group, the intervention group will have a greater reduction in the morbidity due to physical illnesses and improved mental health. CONCLUSION If successful, the module can be incorporated into the community level mental health delivery system of the District Mental Health Program (DMHP).

Abstract
The low efficacy of human rotavirus (HRV) vaccines in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) remains a major challenge for global health. Protein-calorie malnutrition (kwashiorkor) affects the gut microbiota and compromises immune development, leading to environmental enteropathy, vaccine failures, and increased susceptibility to enteric diseases in young children. Relationship between diet and reduced vaccine efficacy in developing countries is not well established; therefore, we investigated the interconnections between the host-microbiota-nutrition-HRV vaccine using HRV-vaccinated, human infant faecal microbiota (HIFM)-transplanted neonatal gnotobiotic pigs fed with a protein deficient or sufficient diet. The microbiota from faecal, intestinal (duodenum, ileum, jejunum, and colon), and systemic tissue (liver, spleen, and mesenteric lymph node [MLN]) samples was analysed before and after HRV challenge using MiSeq 16S rRNA sequencing. Overall, microbiota from deficient fed HIFM pigs displayed, compared to the sufficient group, significantly higher Shannon index, especially in the faeces and lower intestines; higher level of Proteus and Enterococcus, and lower level of Bifidobacterium, Clostridium, and Streptococcus in the three types of samples collected (P<0.05); and higher unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs), especially in the systemic tissues. Further, the multivariate analysis between microbiota and immunologic data showed that 38 OTUs at the genus level correlated (r2≤0.5 or ≥-0.5; P<0.05) with at least one host immune response parameter (regulatory [Tregs and transforming growth factor-β], effectors [interferon (IFN)-γ+ CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, IFN-γ and interleukin (IL)-12], and inflammatory [tumour necrosis factor-α, IL-17 and IL-22]) and with opposite trends between diet groups. Differences described above were increased after HRV challenge. We demonstrated that a protein deficient diet affects the composition of the gut microbiota and those changes may further correlate with immune responses induced by HRV and perturbed by the deficient diet. Thus, our findings suggest that the reduced efficacy of HRV vaccine observed in Gn pig model is in part attributed to the altered microbiota composition.

Abstract
The phospholipid cardiolipin has pleiotropic structural and functional roles that are collectively essential for mitochondrial biology. Yet, the molecular details of how this lipid supports the structure and function of proteins and protein complexes are poorly understood. To address this property of cardiolipin, we use the mitochondrial adenosine 5'-diphosphate/adenosine 5'-triphosphate carrier (Aac) as a model. Here, we have determined that cardiolipin is critical for both the tertiary and quaternary assembly of the major yeast Aac isoform Aac2 as well as its conformation. Notably, these cardiolipin-provided structural roles are separable. In addition, we show that multiple copies of Aac2 engage in shared complexes that are largely dependent on the presence of assembled respiratory complexes III and IV or respiratory supercomplexes. Intriguingly, the assembly state of Aac2 is sensitive to its transport-related conformation. Together, these results expand our understanding of the numerous structural roles provided by cardiolipin for mitochondrial membrane proteins.

Abstract
Maintaining teeth in their corrected positions following orthodontic treatment can be extremely challenging. Teeth have a tendency to move back towards the original malocclusion as a result of periodontal, gingival, occlusal and growth related factors. However, tooth movement can also occur as a result of normal age changes. Because orthodontics is unable to predict which patients are at risk of relapse, those which will remain stable and the extent of relapse that will occur in the long-term, clinicians need to treat all patients as if they have a high potential to relapse. To reduce this risk, long term retention is advocated. This can be a significant commitment for patients, and so retention and the potential for relapse must form a key part of the informed consent process prior to orthodontic treatment. It is vital that patients are made fully aware of their responsibilities in committing to wear retainers as prescribed in order to reduce the chance of relapse. If patients are unable or unwilling to comply as prescribed, they must be prepared to accept that there will be tooth positional changes following treatment. There is currently insufficient high quality evidence regarding the best type of retention or retention regimen, and so each clinician's approach will be affected by their personal, clinical experience and expertise, and guided by their patients' expectations and circumstances.

Abstract
We developed a gnotobiotic (Gn) pig model colonised with defined commensal microbiota (DMF) to provide a simplified and controlled system to study the interactions between intestinal commensals, antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, CIP), probiotics (Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, EcN) and virulent human rotavirus (VirHRV). The DMF included seven gut commensal species of porcine origin that mimic the predominant species in the infant gut. Gn piglets were divided into four groups: DMF control (non-treated), DMF+CIP (CIP treated), DMF+CIP+EcN (CIP/EcN treated), DMF+EcN (EcN treated) and inoculated orally with 105 cfu of each DMF strain. The pig gut was successfully colonised by all DMF species and established a simplified bacterial community by post-bacteria colonisation day (PBCD) 14/post-VirHRV challenge day (PCD) 0. Overall, Bifidobacterium adolescentis was commonly observed in faeces in all groups and time points. At PCD0, after six days of CIP treatment (DMF+CIP), we observed significantly decreased aerobic and anaerobic bacteria counts especially in jejunum (P<0.001), where no DMF species were detected in jejunum by T-RFLP. Following HRV challenge, 100% of pigs in DMF+CIP group developed diarrhoea with higher diarrhoea scores and duration as compared to all other groups. However, only 33% of pigs treated with EcN plus CIP developed diarrhoea. EcN treatment also enhanced the bacterial diversity and all seven DMF species were detected with a higher proportion of Bifidobacterium longum in jejunum in the DMF+CIP+EcN group on PBCD14/PCD0. Our results suggest that EcN increased the proportion of B. longum especially in jejunum and mitigated adverse impacts of antibiotic use during acute-infectious diarrhoea. The DMF model with a simplified gut commensal community can further our knowledge of how commensals and probiotics promote intestinal homeostasis and contribute to host health.

Abstract
Context: In India, oral cancer accounts for one-third of all cancers. Early detection and immediate intervention can lead to marked reduction in the morbidity and mortality. In India, Ayurveda and homeopathy practitioners are distributed widely in rural and urban areas and are easily accessible. Until date, no assessment on their oral cancer knowledge and practice has been done. Aims: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the knowledge, awareness, and practice concerning oral cancer. Subjects and Methods: Questionnaire comprising 15 questions was distributed to 42 Ayurveda and 38 homeopathy doctors in Davangere District, Karnataka, India, assessing their oral examination habits, knowledge on the risk factors, patient education, clinical signs of the disease and its treatment. Statistical Analysis Used: The results were analyzed using Chi-square test. Results: Lesser number of the practitioners routinely examined oral mucosa (16.7% and 5.3%, respectively). Fewer advised their patients about the risk factors (2.4% and 2.6%). Less positive response was obtained for the correct method for confirmation of diagnosis (28.6% and 15.8%). Many doctors agreed that they had not undergone training in cancer institute (P = 0.29). Twenty-three (54.8%) Ayurveda and 28 (73.7%) homeopathy doctors opined that they did not have sufficient knowledge regarding early detection and prevention of oral cancer and many were desirous of receiving further information (97.6% and 84.2% respectively). Conclusions: This study attempts to highlight the need for improving the oral cancer knowledge and awareness among practicing Ayurveda and homeopathy doctors.

Abstract
Ghrelin, a novel motilin-related endogenous ligand for growth hormone secretagouge receptor, is implicated in various biological functions, including regulation of female reproduction. But the presence of ghrelin and its role in reproductive functions in buffalo, a species with poor reproductive efficiency, is not known. In the present study full-length ghrelin cDNA was isolated from bubaline abomasum, which encodes the entire prepropeptide of 116 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of ghrelin of buffalo showed >95% and 31% identity with that of ruminants (cattle, sheep, and goat) and humans, respectively. Analysis of synonymous and nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions in the coding region of ghrelin indicated that these sequences of different species have been under purifying selection. The 3995-bp amplicon of ghrelin gene consisting of 4 exons and 3 introns was cloned with genomic DNA from buffalo. Further, ghrelin expression was determined by quantitative real-time PCR, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry in bubaline endometrial tissues at different stages of the estrous cycle and early pregnancy. Our results indicated the persistent expression of ghrelin mRNA and protein in the endometrium during stage I (day 3-5), stage II (day 6-15), and stage III (day 16-21) of the estrous cycle and also during early (~day 30-40) pregnancy. Immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR experiments indicated the relatively higher expression of ghrelin in the endometrium during stage II (day 6-15) of the estrous cycle and early pregnancy than during stage I (day 3-5) and stage III (day 16-21) of the estrous cycle, but no statistically significant difference in ghrelin expression was observed among stages. To conclude, the results of the present study indicate the persistent expression of ghrelin in the uterine endometrium throughout the estrous cycle and in early pregnancy which might be helpful in determining its role in buffalo reproduction.

Abstract
The innate immune response plays a major role in defense against mastitis-causing pathogens. Identification of existing variation in innate immune signaling among cows and the underlying molecular causes for the variation may help in design of new mastitis control strategies. The dermal fibroblast has been used as a model cell type to explore between-cow variation in the ability of cells to produce IL-8 in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment, and this response appears related to an animal's ability to respond to in vivo challenge with LPS or Escherichia coli mastitis. In this study, primary dermal fibroblast cultures of cows and microarray-based genomic analysis were used to investigate the cause(s) for the variable response to LPS. Fibroblast cultures from 2 cows, one with a low response phenotype (LR(array)) and another with a high response phenotype (HR(array)), were selected from our collection of fibroblast cultures established from 88 cows. The LR(array) fibroblast culture produced approximately 5-fold less IL-8 and IL-6 protein in response to 24-h LPS treatment than the HR(array) fibroblast culture. Genomic analysis of RNA obtained from 3 replicates of the 2 cultures before and after 8-h LPS treatment revealed a combined LPS-induced differential expression of 321 transcripts, indicating the robust response capability of the fibroblast cell. Under basal conditions, the microarray analysis revealed 2-fold less expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the LR(array) fibroblasts compared with the HR(array) fibroblasts, and this was associated with a marked reduction in expression of genes regulated by the TLR4-MyD88-dependent and TLR4-TRIF-dependent pathways (IL-8, IL-6, SAA3, CCL20, MX1, IRF1, and ISG20). The between-culture differential expression of TLR4 was confirmed and extended by quantitative PCR analysis (QPCR) that revealed a 33-fold lower expression of TLR4 in the LR(array) fibroblast culture. After LPS treatment, the difference in TLR4 expression increased to almost 50-fold and was associated with more than 8-fold lower expression of IL-8 and IL-6. No DNA sequence variations were identified in the proximal 1,300-bp promoter region of the TLR4 gene, and microarray analysis did not reveal a molecular explanation for the reduced TLR4 expression under either basal conditions or following exposure to LPS. The attenuated innate immune response of the LR(array) fibroblast culture to LPS may be caused by reduced TLR4 receptor expression. Also, the primary dermal fibroblast cells can be used to examine underlying causes for between-cow variations in key immune response pathways.

Abstract
While it is common in contemporary orthodontic and orthopaedic treatment to commence treatment for many growing patients during the mixed-dentition, the creation of anterior space, often involving the attempted distalization or holding-back of the upper and lower permanent molar teeth has been shown to commonly result in posterior space deficiencies. Although the extractions of permanent premolar teeth may have been avoided, the developing second and third permanent molars are often affected, so that third molar impaction results in many cases. This is not to say that orthodontic treatment carried-out without premolar extractions is not ideal in many cases, but on the available evidence, so-called absolute 'non-extraction' protocols should be questioned, so that both the dental profession and the public at large are not misled.

Abstract
Recent experiments have revealed radiation-induced (600 MeV/u 56Fe energetic particles) losses of sensitivity of rodent neostriatal muscarinic receptors to stimulation by cholinergic agonists that appears as reductions in oxotremorine enhancement of K(+)-evoked dopamine release. These losses were postulated to be the result of radiation-induced alterations early in phosphoinositide-mediated signal transduction. Additional findings indicated that if the ligand-receptor-G protein interface was by passed no radiation deficits were seen. In the present study, radiation-induced deficits in K(+)-evoked dopamine release were examined in perifused striatal tissue obtained from rats exposed to 0, 0.1 or 1.0 Gy of 56Fe particles (600 MeV/u). Results showed that these deficits could be reduced by co-applying combinations of various pharmacological agents that were known to have differential effects on various second messengers such as 1,4,5-inositol-trisphosphate (IP3). Combinations included oxotremorine-carbachol, and either oxotremorine or carbachol with arginine vasopressin or arachidonic acid. These results are discussed in terms of putative radiation-induced changes in receptor-containing membranes which alter receptor-G protein coupling/uncoupling.
