Abstract
A 59-year-old woman with prior bilateral lower eyelid autologous fat transfer, subdermal micro-needling and fractional radiofrequency skin resurfacing presented with delayed left-sided preseptal cellulitis with small multinodular abscesses unresponsive to oral outpatient antibiotic regimens and inpatient intravenous antibiotics. Wound culture revealed Mycobacterium chelonae infection treated successfully with a 4-month regimen of clarithromycin and tedizolid without recurrence. This case highlights (1) the need for vigilance and a broad differential in delayed post-operative wound infections including non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections, (2) resolution of infection without recurrence on clarithromycin and novel tedizolid oral antibiotic therapy, and (3) that caution should be exercised when performing combination autologous fat transfers with subdermal micro-needling procedures as the breakdown in skin integrity may potentiate infection.

Abstract
PURPOSE In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, teprotumumab production was temporarily halted with resources diverted toward vaccine production. Many patients who initiated treatment with teprotumumab for thyroid eye disease were forced to deviate from the standard protocol. This study investigates the response of teprotumumab when patients receive fewer than the standard 8-dose regimen. METHODS This observational cross-sectional cohort study included patients from 15 institutions with active or minimal to no clinical activity thyroid eye disease treated with the standard teprotumumab infusion protocol. Patients were included if they had completed at least 1 teprotumumab infusion and had not yet completed all 8 planned infusions. Data were collected before teprotumumab initiation, within 3 weeks of last dose before interruption, and at the visit before teprotumumab reinitiation. The primary outcome measure was reduction in proptosis more than 2 mm. Secondary outcome measures included change in clinical activity score (CAS), extraocular motility restriction, margin reflex distance-1 (MRD1), and reported adverse events. RESULTS The study included 74 patients. Mean age was 57.8 years, and 77% were female. There were 62 active and 12 minimal to no clinical activity patients. Patients completed an average of 4.2 teprotumumab infusions before interruption. A significant mean reduction in proptosis (-2.9 mm in active and -2.8 mm in minimal to no clinical activity patients, P < 0.01) was noted and maintained during interruption. For active patients, a 3.4-point reduction in CAS ( P < 0.01) and reduction in ocular motility restriction ( P < 0.01) were maintained during interruption. CONCLUSIONS Patients partially treated with teprotumumab achieve significant reduction in proptosis, CAS, and extraocular muscle restriction and maintain these improvements through the period of interruption.

Abstract
We describe the design, synthesis and fluorescence profiles of new self-calibrating viscosity dyes in which a coumarin (reference fluorophore) has been covalently linked with a molecular rotor (viscosity sensor). Characterization of their fluorescence properties was made with separate excitation of the units and through resonance energy transfer from the reference to the sensor dye. We have modified the linker and the substitution of the rotor in order to change the hydrophilicity of these probes thereby altering their subcellular localization. For instance, hydrophilic dye 12 shows a homogeneous distribution inside the cell and represents a suitable probe for viscosity measurements in the cytoplasm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In clinical trials, cancer patients have received immunotherapy based on DCs generated from leukapheresed blood. It would therefore be an advantage to be able to measure blood levels and estimate the phenotype of DC before leukapheresis, to estimate the yield required for preparation of vaccines, or ex vivo stimulation of T cells for adoptive immunotherapy. METHODS Recently, circulating lineage negative (Lin-) myeloid DC cells and their precursors have been identified by flow cytometry. We apply this strategy to the screening of blood samples from patients with multiple myeloma, in an attempt to characterize and quantitate the subset. By a direct flow cytometry approach, the blood levels of circulating lineage (CD3, CD19, CD14) negative, CD33++, HLA-DR+ cells were estimated before and following ex vivo cell differentiation, and phenotyped by MAbs with specificity against HLA-DR, HLA-ABC, CD1a, CD11c, CD33, CD40, CD49d, CD49e, CD54, CD80, CD83, and CD86. RESULTS This study demonstrated that multiple myeloma patients have a 50% reduced blood level of Lin-, CD33++, HLA-DR+ myeloid DC, but a DC-precursor level within normal range. Furthermore, GM-CSF and IL-4 ex vivo stimulated DCs demonstrated an impaired up-regulation of the co-stimulatory molecule CD80 and the adhesion molecule CD54. DISCUSSION These results may have clinical implications as a predictor for yield and functionality of the harvested DCs to be used in vaccination of myeloma patients.
