Abstract
Purpose To evaluate disease progression and associated vision changes in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in 1 eye and GA or neovascular AMD (nAMD) in the fellow eye using a large dataset from routine clinical practice. Design Retrospective analysis of clinical data over 24 months. Subjects A total of 256 635 patients with GA from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (Academy) IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) Registry (January 2016 to December 2017). Methods Patients with ≥ 24 months of follow-up were grouped by fellow-eye status: Cohort 1, GA:GA; Cohort 2, GA:nAMD, each with (subfoveal) and without subfoveal (nonsubfoveal) involvement. Eyes with history of retinal disease other than AMD were excluded. Sensitivity analysis included patients who were managed by retina specialists and had a record of imaging within 30 days of diagnosis. Main Outcome Measures Change in visual acuity (VA), occurrence of new-onset nAMD, and GA progression from nonsubfoveal to subfoveal. Results In total, 69 441 patients were included: 44 120 (64%) GA:GA and 25 321 (36%) GA:nAMD. Otherwise eligible patients (57 788) were excluded due to follow-up < 24 months. In both GA:GA and GA:nAMD cohorts, nonsubfoveal study eyes had better mean (standard deviation) VA at index (67 [19.3] and 66 [20.3] letters) than subfoveal eyes (59 [23.9] and 47 [26.9] letters), and 24-month mean VA changes were similar for nonsubfoveal (-7.6 and -6.2) and subfoveal (-7.9 and -6.5) subgroups. Progression to subfoveal GA occurred in 16.7% of nonsubfoveal study eyes in the GA:GA cohort and 12.5% in the GA:nAMD cohort. More new-onset study-eye nAMD was observed in the GA:nAMD (21.6%) versus GA:GA (8.2%) cohorts. Sensitivity analysis supported the robustness of the observations in the study. Conclusions This retrospective analysis describes the natural progression of GA lesions and the decline in VA associated with the disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Successful completion of chemotherapy is critical to improve breast cancer outcomes. Relative dose intensity (RDI), defined as the ratio of chemotherapy delivered to prescribed, is a measure of chemotherapy completion and is associated with cancer mortality. The effect of exercise and eating a healthy diet on RDI is unknown. We conducted a randomized trial of an exercise and nutrition intervention on RDI and pathologic complete response (pCR) in women diagnosed with breast cancer initiating chemotherapy. METHODS One hundred seventy-three women with stage I-III breast cancer were randomly assigned to usual care (UC; n = 86) or a home-based exercise and nutrition intervention with counseling sessions delivered by oncology-certified registered dietitians (n = 87). Chemotherapy dose adjustments and delays and pCR were abstracted from electronic medical records. T-tests and chi-square tests were used to examine the effect of the intervention versus UC on RDI and pCR. RESULTS Participants randomly assigned to intervention had greater improvements in exercise and diet quality compared with UC (P < .05). RDI was 92.9% ± 12.1% and 93.6% ± 11.1% for intervention and UC, respectively (P = .69); the proportion of patients in the intervention versus UC who achieved ≥85% RDI was 81% and 85%, respectively (P = .44). The proportion of patients who had at least one dose reduction and/or delay was 38% intervention and 36% UC (P = .80). Among 72 women who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, women randomly assigned to intervention were more likely to have a pCR than those randomly assigned to UC (53% v 28%; P = .037). CONCLUSION Although a diet and exercise intervention did not affect RDI, the intervention was associated with a higher pCR in patients with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative and triple-negative breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the extent of signal abnormality in impaired ocular motor nerves using high signal and spatial resolution MRI sequences and to discuss the involvement of inflammatory or microvascular impairment in patients with diabetic ophthalmoplegia. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 10 patients referred for acute ocular motor nerve palsy in the context of diabetes mellitus from September 15th, 2021 to April 24th, 2022. 3T MRI evaluation included diffusion, 3D TOF, FLAIR, coronal STIR and post-injection 3D T1 SPACE DANTE sequences. RESULTS Ten patients were included: 9 males and 1 female aged from 46 to 79 years. Five patients presented with cranial nerve (CN) III palsy, and 5 presented with CN VI palsy. Third nerve palsy was pupil-sparing in 4 patients and pupil-involved in 1 patient. Pain was associated in all patients with CN III deficiencies and in 2 patients CN VI deficiencies. In all patients, MRI sequences ruled out mass effect and vascular pathology, such as acute stroke or aneurysm. Eight patients presented with STIR hypersignals, some with enlargement of the involved nerve. The diagnosis was confirmed through a post-injection 3D T1 SPACE DANTE sequence, which showed extended enhancement along the abnormal portion of the nerve. CONCLUSION High-resolution MRI evaluation of diplopia in diabetic patients is used to rule out a diagnosis of acute stroke and contributes to the positive diagnosis of ocular motor nerve impairment, possibly combining the influences of inflammatory and microvascular phenomena. Dedicated MR imaging should be included in the initial diagnosis and longitudinal follow-up of patients with diabetic ophthalmoplegia.

Abstract
Observational studies of diabetic retinopathy (DR) using electronic health record data often determine disease severity using International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes. We investigated the mechanism of missingness for DR severity based on ICD coding using the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry. We included all patient encounters in the registry with a DR ICD-9 or ICD-10 code between January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2021. Demographic, clinical, and practice-level characteristics were compared between encounters with specified and unspecified disease severity. Practices were divided into quartiles based on the proportion of clinical encounters with unspecified DR severity. Encounters with unspecified disease severity were associated with significantly older patient age, better visual acuity, and lower utilization of ophthalmic procedures. Higher volume practices and retina specialist practices had lower proportions of clinical encounters with unspecified disease severity. Results strongly suggest that DR disease severity related to ICD coding is missing not at random.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is available to women with locally advanced breast cancer where chemotherapy is given prior to surgery. By examining resected tissue following neoadjuvant chemotherapy pathological complete response (pCR) can be determined. pCR is a favorable prognostic factor associated with longer survival compared to residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Physical activity and diet may improve some side effects during treatment, but less is known about their effect on chemotherapy completion and more specifically on pCR in the neoadjuvant setting. Utilizing data from a randomized trial of diet and physical activity with a primary endpoint of chemotherapy completion in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer initiating chemotherapy, we evaluated the effect of a lifestyle intervention on pCR among the subset of women in the trial who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: The Lifestyle, Exercise and Nutrition Early after Diagnosis (LEANer) Study enrolled 173 women with Stage I-III breast cancer who were randomized to usual care (n = 86) or a yearlong, 16-session, in-person or telephone-administered diet and physical activity intervention (n = 87) delivered by registered dietitians. Among study participants, 73 women received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and of these, 72 (98.6%) had complete follow-up pCR data (intervention = 40; usual care = 32). pCR, dates, doses and reason for dose-adjustments/delays of chemotherapy were abstracted from electronic medical records and confirmed with treating oncologists. A Chi-square test was used to examine the effect of the intervention versus usual care on pCR. Results: The 72 women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy with complete follow-up pCR data in LEANer were 49.4±11.6 years old, had a body mass index of 30.0+6.7 kg/m2, and 37.0% and 49.3% had stage I or II breast cancer, respectively. Just over half (52.1%) of women had ER/PR positive cancers and 32.9% of tumors were HER2 positive, with no statistically significant differences in tumor type by study arm. 92.7% of the women randomized to intervention adhered to all of the counseling sessions during their neoadjuvant chemotherapy and had statistically significant improvements in mean physical activity (161 minute increase versus 40 minute increase, p-value = < 0.001) and fiber intake (0.21 gram/day increase versus -5.17 g/day decrease, p-value = 0.020), as well as median fruit and vegetable intake (0.6 serving/day increase versus -0.5 serving/day decrease, p-value = 0.041) compared to usual care. There was a benefit of the intervention on pCR compared to usual care (52.5% with pCR in the intervention arm versus 28.1% with pCR in the usual care arm, p-value = 0.037). The intervention effect on pCR did not appear to be impacted by chemotherapy completion (relative dose intensity of 92% in intervention versus 90% in usual care) or chemotherapy dose delays as these were similar in the two study arms. In mediation analyses, results suggested that the changes in physical activity mediated, at least partially, the intervention effect on pCR. Conclusions: A primarily telephone-based diet and physical activity intervention led to improved pCR compared to usual care among the subset of women with breast cancer in the LEANer Study who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. As pCR is an important prognostic factor for breast cancer, additional lifestyle interventions focusing on the neoadjuvant treatment setting with pCR as the primary outcome are necessary to confirm the potential benefits of lifestyle changes on pCR.

Abstract
PURPOSE Most breast cancer survivors have challenges with adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors. This may be due to contextual challenges that result from the complex nature of the evidence. To address this gap, we explored the experiences of breast cancer survivors of color and oncology healthcare providers. METHODS Content analysis with inductive and deductive approaches was used for semi-structured interviews with 26 female breast cancer survivors and 10 oncology healthcare providers from Greater New Haven, Connecticut. RESULTS Survivors identified substantial confusion on the evidence regarding lifestyle behaviors and breast cancer, stemming from inadequate healthcare provider counseling and an overreliance on informal sources of information. Providers identified lack of evidence-based knowledge as a barrier to counseling on these topics. There was a mixed perspective regarding the consistency of evidence, stemming from a combination of gaps in the available evidence and accessing evidence-based knowledge from a wide range of professional resources. Some providers perceived the guidelines as consistent; others felt guidelines were constantly changing, impacting how and on what they counseled. Therefore, many healthcare providers in oncology care relied on generic messaging on lifestyle behaviors after a cancer diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Inconsistent information sources, the rapidly changing evidence, and gaps in the current evidence contribute to generic messaging about lifestyle behaviors and may inhibit a survivor's ability to engage in behavior change. Consistent and uniform healthy lifestyle guidelines for cancer outcomes may address both provider and patient level barriers to knowledge.

Abstract
12007 Background: In observational studies, 25%-55% of women with breast cancer (BC) do not complete chemotherapy as initially prescribed, primarily due to toxicity. Relative dose intensity (RDI) is an integrated measure of chemotherapy dose delays and reductions and is associated with cancer mortality. Physical activity (PA) and diet may reduce treatment toxicity, but less is known about their effect on RDI. We conducted a randomized trial of a diet and PA intervention on RDI (primary endpoint) in women with newly diagnosed BC initiating chemotherapy. Methods: 173 women with Stage I-III BC were randomized to usual care (UC, n = 86) or a yearlong, 16-session, in-person or telephone-administered diet and PA intervention (n = 87) delivered by registered dietitians. Dates, doses and reason for dose-adjustments/delays of chemotherapy were abstracted from electronic medical records or obtained from treating oncologists. T-tests and Chi-square tests were used to examine the effect of the intervention vs. UC on RDI. Results: Participants were 53±11 years old, had a body mass index of 29.7+6.8 kg/m2, 51% had stage I BC and 22% were under-represented minorities. 27 different chemotherapy regimens were prescribed. Participants randomized to intervention completed 94% of counseling sessions during chemotherapy and had statistically significant improvements in PA and diet compared to UC. Average continuous RDI was unexpectedly high in both groups, with 93%+14% of prescribed chemotherapy completed (p = 0.92). However, 17% and 15% of intervention and UC participants, respectively, had < 85% RDI (p = 0.70) and more than one-third had at least one toxicity-associated dose reduction and/or delay (> 7 days) for at least one chemotherapy drug (39% intervention and 37% UC, p = 0.80). In posthoc analyses, there was a benefit of the intervention on chemotherapy completion compared to UC in the 74 women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (RDI: 95% intervention vs. 90% UC, p = 0.05). Among intervention women, a dose-response effect was seen with participants who achieved more PA and better diet quality via the Healthy Eating Index (above median) experiencing higher RDI vs participants who were below the median for PA and/or diet quality (97% vs 90% RDI, p = 0.05). Conclusions: A primarily telephone-based diet and PA intervention led to improved diet and PA, but did not improve RDI compared to UC. However, a dose-response effect of the intervention was observed with higher PA and diet associated with higher RDI. Future analyses will examine intervention effects on secondary endpoints of endocrine therapy adherence and patient-reported outcomes when all women reach the 1-year timepoint (end of intervention). Further study of diet and PA interventions in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy are necessary. Clinical trial information: NCT03314688.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) of Schizophrenia (SCZ) have provided new biological insights; however, most cohorts are of European ancestry. As a result, derived polygenic risk scores (PRS) show decreased predictive power when applied to populations of different ancestries. We aimed to assess the feasibility of a large-scale data collection in Hanoi, Vietnam, contribute to international efforts to diversify ancestry in SCZ genetic research and examine the transferability of SCZ-PRS to individuals of Vietnamese Kinh ancestry. METHODS In a pilot study, 368 individuals (including 190 SCZ cases) were recruited at the Hanoi Medical University's associated psychiatric hospitals and outpatient facilities. Data collection included sociodemographic data, baseline clinical data, clinical interviews assessing symptom severity and genome-wide SNP genotyping. SCZ-PRS were generated using different training data sets: (i) European, (ii) East-Asian and (iii) trans-ancestry GWAS summary statistics from the latest SCZ GWAS meta-analysis. RESULTS SCZ-PRS significantly predicted case status in Vietnamese individuals using mixed-ancestry (R2 liability = 4.9%, p = 6.83 × 10-8), East-Asian (R2 liability = 4.5%, p = 2.73 × 10-7) and European (R2 liability = 3.8%, p = 1.79 × 10-6) discovery samples. DISCUSSION Our results corroborate previous findings of reduced PRS predictive power across populations, highlighting the importance of ancestral diversity in GWA studies.

Abstract
Ri chicken is the most popular backyard chicken breed in Vietnam, but little is known about the growth curve of this breed. This study compared the performances of models with three parameters (Gompertz, Brody, and Logistic) and models containing four parameters (Richards, Bridges, and Janoschek) for describing the growth of Ri chicken. The bodyweight of Ri chicken was recorded weekly from week 1 to week 19. Growth models were fitted using minpack.lm package in R software and Akaike's information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), and root mean square error (RMSE) were used for model comparison. Based on these criteria, the models having four parameters showed better performance than the ones with three parameters, and the Richards model was the best one for males and females. The lowest and highest value of asymmetric weights (α) were obtained by Bridges and Brody models for each of sexes, respectively. Age and weight estimated by the Richard model were 8.46 and 7.51 weeks and 696.88 and 487.58 g for males and for females, respectively. Differences in the growth curves were observed between males and female chicken. Overall, the results suggested using the Richards model for describing the growth curve of Ri chickens. Further studies on the genetics and genomics of the obtained growth parameters are required before using them for the genetic improvement of Ri chickens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Cancer Society provide nutrition and physical activity guidelines for cancer survivors. Many women with breast cancer do not follow these guidelines and delay efforts toward following them until active treatment is complete. However, adoption of these recommended lifestyle behaviors soon after diagnosis may prevent adverse treatment-related side effects and may improve adherence to treatment, resulting in improved breast cancer prognosis. The Lifestyle, Exercise, and Nutrition Early after Diagnosis (LEANer) study is testing the effect of a nutrition and physical activity intervention on chemotherapy completion rates. METHODS 172 women with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy will be randomized 1:1 to a yearlong, 16 session, nutrition and exercise intervention or usual care control group. The intervention is delivered by registered dietitians specializing in oncology nutrition and exercise training. The intervention includes goal setting to meet nutrition and physical activity guidelines for cancer survivors. After each chemotherapy session, date and dose of each drug administered, and reason for dose-adjustments and/or dose-delays are abstracted from the electronic medical record or obtained from the treating oncologist. Chemotherapy completion rate is assessed as the average relative dose-intensity (RDI) for the originally planned regimen based on standard formulas. Secondary endpoints of endocrine therapy adherence, treatment-related side effects, and changes in inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers, body composition, and patient reported outcomes are assessed at four timepoints. DISCUSSION If successful, this study has the potential to make healthy lifestyle interventions a standard component of breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is chronic, pruritic, inflammatory skin disease that affects a significant portion of the population in industrialized nations. For nonresponders to conventional therapies, AD can significantly reduce sleep quality and quality of life. AD pathogenesis is multifactorial and involves multiple immune pathways, with recent evidence of T helper (Th)2, Th17 and Th22 axis attenuation in various AD endotypes and racial subtypes. Inhibition of the conserved Janus kinase (JAK) signalling pathway represents a promising therapeutic avenue to reduce the activation of multiple proinflammatory mediators involved in AD pathogenesis. JAK inhibitors exist in both oral and topical forms with variable specificity for the receptor tyrosine kinases JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and tyrosine kinase 2. Oral formulations include abrocitinib, upadacitinib, baricitinib and gusacitinib, and are most appropriate for patients with moderate to severe AD. Emerging topical formulation in development include ruxolitinib and deglocitinib, which may be used in patients with localized AD and also adjunctively with systemic therapy in patients with more severe disease. With observed rapidity in itch relief and accompanying dramatic reduction in inflammatory lesion count, JAK inhibitors represent a promising new treatment to revolutionize the management of AD.

Abstract
The year 2019 featured extensive debates on transforming the United States multipayer health care system into a single-payer system. At a time when reimbursement structures are in flux and potential changes in government may affect health care, it is important for neuroradiologists to remain informed on how emerging policies may impact their practices. The purpose of this article is to examine potential ramifications for neuroradiologist reimbursement with the Medicare for All legislative proposals. An institution-specific analysis is presented to illustrate general Medicare for All principles in discussing issues applicable to practices nationwide.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) was once considered to be rare and largely benign, it is now recognised to represent a major cause of cardiac morbidity and mortality, especially in aging women. The biochemical precipitant of attacks of TTS is an increase in catecholamine concentrations within the myocardium, engendering inflammatory activation via biased post-receptor signalling at myocardial β2-adrenoceptor level. Cases of TTS have been reported in patients treated with catecholamines, and with antidepressants which limit catecholamine re-uptake. In the current investigation, we sought to delineate the extent and potential impact of this “iatrogenic” form of TTS.
Methods/Results
Patients' data from a regional registry of 272 consecutive cases of TTS were evaluated. After exclusion of patients (n=14) in whom TTS has occurred in association with life threatening extracardiac disease states, a total of 47 (18%) of patients were identified as having antecedent exposure to potentially “iatrogenic” agents (antidepressants in 29 cases, β2-adrenoceptor agonists in 14). Demographics, including proportion of male patients, did not differ significantly between patients with and without “iatrogenic” TTS, but plasma concentrations of the catecholamine metabolite normetanephrine tended to be greater (median 1160 vs. 950 pmol/L; p=0.07). Long-term survival (median follow-up 3.5 years) was marginally (p=0.09) worse for patients with “iatrogenic” TTS.
Conclusion
(1) A potentially iatrogenic component of precipitation (via iatrogenic elevation of catecholamine levels and β2-adrenoceptor stimulation) is present in a substantial proportion of patients.
(2) In such patients there is an implication of increased long-term mortality risk, potentially accentuated by continued administration of the precipitating agent(s).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary artery spasm (CAS) is known to occur commonly even in a “pure culture”, but little is known regarding the precipitation of the symptomatic crises which characterize this disorder. There have been recent reports of the occurrence of plaque erosion and intracoronary thrombosis during CAS crises. We have recently shown that (1) the anti-aggregatory effects of nitric oxide (NO) are impaired in CAS patient and (2) release into plasma of the endothelial glycocalyx component syndecan-1 (SD-1) occurs during acute episodes of CAS, suggesting glycocalyx erosion by inflammatory enzyme release.
Objective
In the current study, we sought to determine whether this phenomenon is accompanied by damage to circulating platelets and whether activation of mast cells may represent a possible precipitant.
Methods
In patients with acute episodes and chronic phases of CAS (n=10), as well as normal subjects (n=12), plasma concentrations of SD-1, of platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs), of the mast cell enzyme tryptase and of malondialdehyde (MDA), a measure of oxidative stress, were evaluated.
Results
The results are summarized in the table. Symptomatic crises were associated with substantial elevation of SD-1 concentrations and also those of PMPs and of tryptase, relative to chronic status. However, MDA concentrations did not vary significantly during acute episodes.

Conclusion
(1) The combination of SD-1 release and formation of PMPs suggests that CAS crises reflect both glycocalyx “shedding” and platelet activation/apoptosis, a combination which would facilitate coronary thrombosis.
(2) CAS crises are associated with mast cell activation, which may contribute to the above vascular/platelet damage.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary artery spasm (CAS) represents a major cause of patient morbidity, with variable clinical response to prophylaxis with calcium antagonists and generally poor symptomatic relief with organic nitrates. The precipitation of CAS with acetylcholine may reflect impaired nitric oxide (NO) release and/or signalling. We have recently demonstrated that platelets from patients with CAS exhibit markedly impaired anti-aggregatory responses to the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) (“NO resistance”).
Purpose
In the current experiments we sought to determine whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is known to potentiate haemodynamic responses to organic nitrates, reverses NO resistance in platelets from CAS patients.
Methods
Patients with CAS were studied during acute (n=11) and chronic (n=24) phases of symptoms. NAC (10 g/24 hours) was infused together with low dose NTG (2.5 μg/min) in patients presenting with acute exacerbations, and platelets were studied ex vivo. In blood samples taken from chronic CAS patients, in vitro studies were performed to evaluate the possible role of H2S release (via cysteine formation) from NAC in putative potentiation of NO effect.
Results
(1) In acute patients, NTG/NAC infusion resulted in increases in platelet response to SNP (p=0.003);
(2) In vitro studies showed that incubation with NAC or the H2S donor NaHS potentiated SNP responses (Figure 1A);
(3) Effects of NAC were reversed by co-incubation with aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA) and D, L-propargylglycine (PAG), inhibitors of enzymatic cysteine bioconversion to release H2S (Figure 1B).
Figure 1
Conclusion
CAS-associated impairment of platelet NO signaling reflects a deficiency of the H2S/NO interaction, and can be reversed using exogenous H2S donors, including NAC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although breast cancer (BC) rates are declining in White non-Hispanic American women, they are increasing among Vietnamese American women (VAW) at 1.2% (95% confidence interval [0.1, 2.2]) per year. BC screening rates (64%) are below the national rates (81.1%). This article explores VAW's beliefs about BC and screening. METHOD Using community-based participatory qualitative descriptive methods, 40 VAW were recruited from Oregon, and four focus groups were conducted. A directed content analysis was used. RESULTS Main themes were as follows: deferred to a health care provider or relying on self-detection and symptoms; fear of BC versus fear of procedural pain; limited knowledge; motivation by observing others' journey in BC death or survivorship; body image concern; "living carefree," "good fortune-having good health"; and coverage for a mammogram expense means health care access. DISCUSSION Tailored interventions should address mammogram knowledge, fear, erroneous information, body image, fate and luck, and promoting access.

Abstract
The voice of diverse communities continues to be minimal in academic research. Few models exist for education and training of new research topics and terminology and building partnership capacity in community-engaged research. Little is known about integrative education and training when building participatory research partnerships for sustainability and developing trust and rapport. Community partners at an Asian community-based health and social services center in a large metropolitan area wanted to explore the cultural context of a health-assistive smart home that monitors and auto-alerts with changes in health. With historical and recent rising trends in culturally insensitive research in several diverse communities, the concept of technology-enabled monitoring in the privacy of one's home brings uncertainty. Academic nurse researchers and community partners co-created a culturally safe integrative education and training curriculum, the Interactive CO-learning for Research Engagement and Education (I-COREE). The purpose was to design, implement, and evaluate the curriculum to respond to the community partners' needs to create a culturally safe space through an integrative education and training to facilitate building partnership capacity for research engagement including developing trust and rapport and addressing uncertainties in health-assistive technologies. Popular education tenets informed the curriculum. Twelve academic and community partners participated, four were team teachers who co-led the session. Implementation of the experiential, multimodal co-learning activities were conducted within ahalf-day. The curriculum evaluation indicated that it helped bridge critical conversations about partners' fears of the unknown, approach culturally sensitive topics safely, and trust and rapport. Key elements may be translatable to other partnerships.

Abstract
PURPOSE Retrospective long-term study to evaluate the efficacy of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) therapy for epiphora due to non-surgical nasolacrimal duct obstruction. INTRODUCTION BoNT/A has been used successfully since 2000 in axillary hyperhidrosis to reduce secretory disorders. Some isolated cases of hyperlacrimation or crocodile tear syndrome have been treated on this basis. We used BoNT/A to decrease lacrimal secretion in cases of epiphora. METHODS We reviewed the qualitative and quantitative degree of improvement of epiphora after botulinum neurotoxin injections in the palpebral lobe of the lacrimal gland, carried out in an ophthalmic centre between 2009 and 2016. Epiphora was graded using a questionnaire, Munk scores and Schirmer tests before and after injections. Severity of side effects was recorded. RESULTS Twenty-seven palpebral lacrimal glands of twenty patients with epiphora, mean age 65±13, were treated with BoNT/A (Botox® or Xeomin®) from April 2009 to April 2016. The epiphora was induced by persistent nasolacrimal duct stenosis after surgical treatment. No conventional medical nor surgical treatment was effective at this time. The technique of injection, dilution and dosage were specific. We re-injected 14/27 cases on an as-needed basis, 7/27 cases three times, 3/27 cases four times, and 2/27 cases (same patient both glands) five times. The Schirmer test measured a decrease of lacrimal secretion in 24/27 (89%) lacrimal glands after neurotoxin injection. Side effects were ptosis in 4 cases and transient esotropia in 2 cases. The authors describe the injection techniques, the dosage, the volume and concentration of BoNT/A. CONCLUSION Patients with epiphora can be treated effectively with BoNT/A to reduce lacrimal secretion of the principal lacrimal gland in its palpebral portion. Ninety percent of the patients were very satisfied, with few side effects (ptosis or mild diplopia lasting from 3 days to 3 weeks). More studies are needed to delineate which types of epiphora can be treated with BoNT/A.

Abstract
Marine microorganisms have been recognized as potential sources of novel enzymes because they are relatively more stable than the corresponding enzymes derived from plants and animals. Enzymes from marine microorganisms also differ from homologous enzymes in terrestrial microorganisms based on salinity, pressure, temperature, and lighting conditions. Marine microbial enzymes can be used in diverse industrial applications. This chapter will focus on the biotechnological applications of marine enzymes and also their use as a tool of marine probiotics to improve host digestion (food digestion, food absorption, and mucus utilization) and cleave molecular signals involved in quorum sensing in pathogens to control disease in aquaculture.

Abstract
A study on the species composition and the level of infestation of cockroaches was carried out from April 2013 to October 2014 in three localities of Hanoi, Vietnam, namely the Lan Ong-Old Town, Linh Dam condominium and Tan Da Resort. Out of the 187 units of premises examined, 44.9% of units were infested with cockroaches. A total of 576 cockroaches were trapped, of which six species were identified: Periplaneta americana (L.) was the most dominant species (72.1%), followed by Blattella germanica (L.) (14.8%), Pycnoscelus surinamensis (L.) (7.3%), Periplaneta australasiae (Fabricius) (2.9%), Periplaneta fuliginosa (Serville) (1.9%) and Supella longipalpa (Fabricius) (1.0%). Infestation was the highest in Lan Ong (74.0%), followed by Linh Dam (40.5%) and Tan Da (25.9%). Cockroaches were abundantly found in warehouses (100%), electrical distribution room (56.3%), and kitchens (46.7%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Portal vein embolization (PVE) is used routinely to prevent postoperative liver failure as a result of anticipated insufficient future liver remnant volume following resection. The authors have recently developed a technique for temporary PVE. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of repeated reversible PVE on hepatocyte proliferation and subsequent liver hypertrophy in rodents. METHODS Four treatments were compared (n = 21 rats per group): single reversible PVE, two PVEs separated by 14 days, partial portal vein ligation or sham procedure. The feasibility and tolerance of the procedure were assessed. Volumetric imaging by CT was used to estimate the evolution of liver volumes. After death, the weight of liver lobes was measured and hepatocyte proliferation evaluated by immunostaining. RESULTS Embolization of portal branches corresponding to 70 per cent of total portal flow was performed successfully in all animals. Repeated PVE induced additional hepatocyte proliferation. Repeated embolization resulted in superior hepatocyte proliferation in the non-occluded segments compared with portal vein ligation (31·1 versus 22·2 per cent; P = 0·003). The non-occluded to total liver volume ratio was higher in the repeated PVE group than in the single PVE and sham groups (P = 0·050 and P = 0·001 respectively). CONCLUSION Repeated reversible PVE successfully induced additional hepatocyte proliferation and subsequent liver hypertrophy. Surgical relevance Portal vein embolization (PVE) is used routinely to prevent postoperative liver failure as a result of anticipated insufficient future liver remnant volume following resection. In the present study, a technique of repeated temporary PVE was developed in a rat model; this induced additional hepatocyte proliferation and an increase in liver volume compared with single embolization. This novel approach might help induce major hypertrophy of the future remnant liver, which could increase the rate of patients amenable to major liver resections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic neuropathic pain can lead to anxiety and depression. Drugs that block reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine and/or dopamine are widely used to treat depression, and have emerged as useful drugs in the treatment of neuropathic pain. This study compared the acute antinociceptive effects of NS18283, a novel triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor (MRI) with indatraline, venlafaxine and escitalopram in a mouse model of neuropathic pain. METHOD Neuropathic pain-like behaviours were induced in mice by repeated injections of oxaliplatin (OXA), and assessed using the von Frey hair test, the cold plate test and the thermal preference plate test. Anxio/depressive phenotype and antidepressant-like properties of compounds were assessed by the novelty suppressed feeding test and the tail suspension test, respectively. RESULTS In vivo microdialysis experiments showed that each MRI increased extracellular serotonin, norepinephrine and/or dopamine levels in the cingulate cortex, in agreement with their in vitro reuptake inhibitory properties. Indatraline (3 mg/kg) reversed the full repertoire of OXA-induced neuropathic hypersensitivity. NS18283 (10 mg/kg) reversed OXA-induced mechano-hypersensitivity and cold allodynia. Venlafaxine (16 mg/kg) and escitalopram (4 mg/kg) only reversed cold allodynia and mechano-hypersensitivity, respectively. All MRIs produced antidepressant-like activity in anxio/depressive phenotype of OXA mice. CONCLUSIONS Acute administration of drugs that enhance the activity of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine neurotransmission within nociceptive pathways may provide a broader spectrum of antinociception than dual or selective reuptake inhibitors in animal models of neuropathic pain. Whether similar observations would occur after repeated administration of such compounds in an attempt to simulate dosing in humans, or be compromised by dopaminergic-mediated adverse effects warrants further investigation.

Abstract
This study sought to monitor the presence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and the proportion New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1)-producing bacteria between August 2010 and December 2012 in a surgical hospital in Vietnam. We identified 47 CRE strains from a total of 4,096 Enterobacteriaceae isolates (1.1 %) that were NDM-1-positive from 45 patients admitted to 11 different departments, with the majority being from the urology department. The NDM-1 gene was found in seven different species. Genotyping revealed limited clonality of NDM-1-positive isolates. Most of the isolates carried the NDM-1 gene on a plasmid and 17.8 % (8/45) of those were readily transferable. We found five patients at admission and one patient at discharge with NDM-1-positive bacteria in their stool. From 200 screening environmental hospital samples, five were confirmed to be NDM-1-positive and included Acinetobacter species (n = 3) and Enterobacter aerogenes (n = 2). The results reveal that NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae are commonly isolated in patients admitted to a Vietnamese surgical hospital and are also detected in the hospital environment.

Abstract
We introduce the antibody landscape, a method for the quantitative analysis of antibody-mediated immunity to antigenically variable pathogens, achieved by accounting for antigenic variation among pathogen strains. We generated antibody landscapes to study immune profiles covering 43 years of influenza A/H3N2 virus evolution for 69 individuals monitored for infection over 6 years and for 225 individuals pre- and postvaccination. Upon infection and vaccination, titers increased broadly, including previously encountered viruses far beyond the extent of cross-reactivity observed after a primary infection. We explored implications for vaccination and found that the use of an antigenically advanced virus had the dual benefit of inducing antibodies against both advanced and previous antigenic clusters. These results indicate that preemptive vaccine updates may improve influenza vaccine efficacy in previously exposed individuals.

Abstract
In this Letter, we formulate a mathematical model for predicting experimental outcomes in quantitative phase imaging (QPI) when the illumination field is partially spatially coherent. We derive formulae that apply to QPI and discuss expected results for two classes of QPI experiments: common path and traditional interferometry, under varying degrees of spatial coherence. In particular, our results describe the physical relationship between the spatial coherence of the illuminating field and the halo effect, which is well known in phase-contrast microscopy. We performed experiments relevant to this common situation and found that our theory is in excellent agreement with the data. With this new understanding of the effects of spatial coherence, our formulae offer an avenue for removing halo artifacts from phase images.

Abstract
Nutritional conditions during the intrauterine stage are an important developmental programming factor that can affect the growth and metabolic status during foetal development and permanently alter the phenotypes of newborn offspring and adults. This study was performed to examine the effects of intrauterine catch-up growth (IUCG) on food intake, post-natal body growth and the metabolic status of offspring and growing rats. Control pregnant rats were fed ad libitum during the entire gestation period. For the IUCG regimen, pregnant rats were fed 50% of the food of the controls from pregnancy days 4 through 11 (8 days), followed by ad libitum feeding from pregnancy days 12 through parturition. The birth weight of offspring was not affected by the IUCG regimen. At weaning, offspring from each treatment group were assigned to two groups and given either a normal diet or high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks until 103 days of age. In the normal diet group, the IUCG offspring showed a 9.0% increase (P < 0.05) in total food intake, were 11.2% heavier (p < 0.05) at 103 days of age and had an 11.0% greater (p < 0.05) daily weight gain compared with control offspring. The IUCG regimen did not affect body glucose and lipid metabolism. After exposure to the HFD, the IUCG regimen has not exacerbated metabolic disorders. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the IUCG nutritional regimen during pregnancy can increase the food intake and post-natal body growth of offspring without inducing metabolic disorders such as obesity and insulin resistance. The IUCG nutritional regimen might be used to improve the food intake and post-natal body growth of domestic animals.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) is an important trait that influences beef quality. In two studies, we examined the possible involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in IMF deposition in Korean cattle. In study 1, using a group of bulls and steers, we found that castration, a non-genetic factor, decreased (P < 0.01) the expression of both the WNT10B and CTNNB1 genes, whereas it increased the expression of the Wnt antagonist secreted frizzled-related proteins 4 (SFRP4, P < 0.001) and the adipogenic CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EPB), alpha (CEBPA, P < 0.001) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG, P < 0.05) genes in longissimus dorsi muscle (LM) tissue. The WNT10B and CTNNB1 mRNA levels showed strong (P < 0.001) negative correlations (r = -0.68 and r = -0.73 respectively) with the IMF content, whereas the SFRP4, CEBPA and PPARG mRNA levels showed strong (P < 0.01) positive correlations (r = 0.70, 0.70 and 0.64 respectively) with the IMF content. Large variation still exists in the IMF content of steers, implying that genetic factors affect IMF deposition. Using a different group of steers, a correlation analysis in study 2 also showed that the expression of the WNT10B and CTNNB1 genes, and SFRP4 and adipogenic genes was negatively and positively associated with the IMF content respectively. Our findings suggest that downregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway genes, but upregulation of Wnt antagonist SFRP4 and adipogenic gene expression following castration, contributes to increased IMF deposition in the LM. Our results demonstrate that both non-genetic factors (castration) and genetic variation within the steer group affect the gene expression pattern of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: BP1 is a member of the homeobox gene family of transcription factors. BP1 is activated in 80% of breast tumors, including 89% of the tumors of African American women (AAW) compared with 57% of the tumors of Caucasian American women (CAW). AAW with breast cancer have larger tumors and an almost 50% higher mortality rate than CAW. BP1 expression is also associated with larger and more aggressive tumors, suggesting BP1 may contribute to the aggressiveness of tumors of AAW. Our goal is to identify molecular pathways underlying the discrepancy of breast cancer aggressiveness in AAW and CAW with particular attention to BP1 regulated pathways.
Materials and Methods: Gene expression analysis using RNA from cell lines derived from tumors of AAW or CAW was performed using Illumina microarrays. Changes in c-Myc mRNA were measured by real-time PCR and levels of c-Myc protein by immunoblotting. Knock down of c-Myc and BP1 expression was performed using their respective siRNA. Chromatin immunoprecipation (ChIP) analysis was used to determine potential BP1 and c-Myc binding sites in vivo. Immunohistochemistry was performed using a commercial rabbit polyclonal antibody to c-Myc and a rabbit polyclonal antibody to BP1 developed by the laboratory of one of the authors (PB).
Results: To study differential gene expression related to racial disparities and BP1 expression, we used breast cancer cell lines derived from tumors of AAW and cell lines derived from tumors of CAW. Microarray analysis was performed on three cell lines from AAW and two cell lines from CAW. The oncogene c-Myc was overly represented in the cell lines derived from AAW compared to their CAW derived counterparts; these cell lines also overexpress BP1. The data was verified by real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. Knock down of BP1 and c-Myc in separate experiments using siRNA showed a significant decrease of BP1 protein and c-Myc protein, respectively. ChIP analysis revealed binding of BP1 protein to DNA upstream of the c-Myc gene and of BP1 DNA by c-Myc protein, suggesting reciprocal activation.
Clinical studies. Age and stage matched cases of ductal breast cancers from AAW (n = 15) and CAW (n = 15) were immunostained and evaluated for nuclear c-Myc and nuclear BP1. In CAW, there was a linear correlation between BP1 and c-Myc staining. However, in AAW there was not a linear correlation due to extensive variability in individual results.
Conclusions: c-Myc is a potent oncogene known to increase transformation and proliferation. We show here that c-Myc is upregulated by BP1, a gene which is preferentially activated in breast tumors of AAW. Furthermore, we have identified an interesting mechanism by which BP1 and c-Myc may co-activate transcription involving a positive feedback loop, an attractive therapeutic target. The proposed mechanism could partially explain the aggressiveness of tumors of AAW.

Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a frequent psychiatric disorder characterized by repetitive intrusive thoughts and severe anxiety, leading to compulsive behaviors. Although medical treatment is effective in most cases, resistance is observed in about 30% of patients. In this context, deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the caudate or subthalamic nuclei has been recently proposed with encouraging results. However, some patients were unimproved or exhibited awkward side effects. Therefore, exploration of new targets for DBS remains critical in OCD. In the latter, functional imaging studies revealed overactivity in the limbic and associative cortico-subcortical loops encompassing the thalamus. However, the role of the thalamus in the genesis of repetitive behaviors and related anxiety is unknown. Here, we tested the hypothesis that pharmacological-induced overactivity of the medial thalamus could give rise to abnormal behaviors close to that observed in OCD. We modulated the ventral anterior (VA) and medial dorsal (MD) nuclei activity by in situ bicuculline (GABA(A) antagonist) microinjections in subhuman primates and assessed their pharmacological-induced behavior. Bicuculline injections within the VA caused significant repetitive and time-consuming motor acts whereas those performed within the MD induced symptoms of dysautonomic dysregulation along with abnormal vocalizations and marked motor hypoactivity. These findings suggest that overactivation of the VA and MD nuclei of the thalamus provokes compulsive-like behaviors and neurovegetative manifestations usually associated with the feeling of anxiety in OCD patients. In further research, this translational approach should allow us to test the effectiveness and side effects of these thalamic nuclei DBS in monkey and perhaps, in a second step, to propose a transfer of this technique to severely disabled OCD patients.

Abstract
Quantification of intestinal cells is challenging for several reasons: The cell densities vary throughout the intestines and may be age dependent. Some cell types are ramified and/or can change shape and size. Additionally, immunolabeling is needed for the correct identification of cell type. Immunolabeling is dependent on both up- and down-regulation of the antigen being labeled as well as on the primary and secondary antibodies, the fixation, and the enhancement procedures. Here, we provide a detailed description of immunolabeling of CD169(+) cells and major histocompatibility class II antigen (MHCII(+) ) cells and the subsequent quantification of these cells using design-based stereology in the intestinal muscularis externa. We used young (5-weeks-old) and adult (10-weeks-old) mice. Cell densities were higher in jejunum-ileum, when compared with colon. In jejunum/ileum, the cell densities increased in oral-anal direction in adults, whereas the densities were highest in the midpart in young animals. In colon, the cell densities decreased in oral-anal direction in both groups of animals. Except for the density of MHCII(+) cells in colon, the cell densities were highest in young animals. Densities of CD169(+) and MHCII(+) cells did not differ, except in the colon of young animals where the CD169(+) density was almost twice as high as the MHCII(+) density. CD169 and MHCII antigens seem to be expressed simultaneously by the same cell in jejunum/ileum. We conclude that cell densities depend on both the age of the mouse and on the location in the intestines.

Abstract
Casein kinase 1 delta and epsilon (CK1δ/ɛ) are key regulators of diverse cellular growth and survival processes including Wnt signaling, DNA repair and circadian rhythms. Recent studies suggest that they have an important role in oncogenesis. RNA interference screens identified CK1ɛ as a pro-survival factor in cancer cells in vitro and the CK1δ/ɛ-specific inhibitor IC261 is remarkably effective at selective, synthetic lethal killing of cancer cells. The recent development of the nanomolar CK1δ/ɛ-selective inhibitor, PF670462 (PF670) and the CK1ɛ-selective inhibitor PF4800567 (PF480) offers an opportunity to further test the role of CK1δ/ɛ in cancer. Unexpectedly, and unlike IC261, PF670 and PF480 were unable to induce cancer cell death. PF670 is a potent inhibitor of CK1δ/ɛ in cells; nanomolar concentrations are sufficient to inhibit CK1δ/ɛ activity as measured by repression of intramolecular autophosphorylation, phosphorylation of disheveled2 proteins and Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Likewise, small interfering RNA knockdown of CK1δ and CK1ɛ reduced Wnt/β-catenin signaling without affecting cell viability, further suggesting that CK1δ/ɛ inhibition may not be relevant to the IC261-induced cell death. Thus, while PF670 is a potent inhibitor of Wnt signaling, it only modestly inhibits cell proliferation. In contrast, while sub-micromolar concentrations of IC261 neither inhibited CK1δ/ɛ kinase activity nor blocked Wnt/β-catenin signaling in cancer cells, it caused a rapid induction of prometaphase arrest and subsequent apoptosis in multiple cancer cell lines. In a stepwise transformation model, IC261-induced killing required both overactive Ras and inactive p53. IC261 binds to tubulin with an affinity similar to colchicine and is a potent inhibitor of microtubule polymerization. This activity accounts for many of the diverse biological effects of IC261 and, most importantly, for its selective cancer cell killing.

Abstract
Determination of the Coulomb energy of single point defects is essential because changing their charge state critically affects the properties of materials. Based on a novel approach that allows us to simultaneously identify a point defect and to monitor the occupation probability of its electronic state, we unambiguously measure the charging energy of a single Si dangling bond with tunneling spectroscopy. Comparing the experimental result with tight-binding calculations highlights the importance of the particular surrounding of the localized state on the effective charging energy.

Abstract
Adoptive cell transfer studies in regenerative research and identification of genetically modified cells after gene therapy in vivo require unequivocally identifying and tracking the donor cells in the host tissues, ideally over several days or for up to several months. The use of reporter genes allows identifying the transferred cells but unfortunately most are immunogenic to wild-type hosts and thus trigger rejection in few days. The availability of transgenic animals from the same strain that would express either high levels of the transgene to identify the cells or low levels but that would be tolerant to the transgene would allow performing long-term analysis of labelled cells. Herein, using lentiviral vectors we develop two new lines of GFP-expressing transgenic rats displaying different levels and patterns of GFP-expression. The "high-expresser" line (GFP(high)) displayed high expression in most tissues, including adult neurons and neural precursors, mesenchymal stem cells and in all leukocytes subtypes analysed, including myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells, cells that have not or only poorly characterized in previous GFP-transgenic rats. These GFP(high)-transgenic rats could be useful for transplantation and immunological studies using GFP-positive cells/tissue. The "low-expresser" line expressed very low levels of GFP only in the liver and in less than 5% of lymphoid cells. We demonstrate these animals did not develop detectable humoral and cellular immune responses against both transferred GFP-positive splenocytes and lentivirus-mediated GFP gene transfer. Thus, these GFP-transgenic rats represent useful tools for regenerative medicine and gene therapy.

Abstract
Structural transition of single dsDNA molecule which is immobilized on 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) treated substrate (APTES/substrate) or alkylthiol treated substrate (alkylthiol/substrate) has been investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The obtained force versus distance (F-D) curves are used to dissect the transition from B-form to S-form, the melting from double stranded (ds) to single stranded (ss) DNA, and its Young's modulus as well as persistence length. The melt from dsDNA to ssDNA is evidenced by fitting with freely jointed chain (FJC) model. FJC fit and Young's modulus or persistence length values when the molecules are fixed on alkylthiol/substrate are more agreeable with other studies than those on APTES. We have clarified the different results of those experiments by analyzing the binding force between DNA molecules and APTES or alkylthiol linkers on the substrate. The DNA binding to APTES linker is much stronger than that on alkylthiol/substrate.

Abstract
The role of basophils in an anaphylactic response is well recognized but is usually masked by mast cells, which contain similar mediators for the induction of generalized vasodilatation and laryngeal constriction. The rapid onset of systemic anaphylactic symptoms, particularly in insect stings and ingested food, suggest that basophils, a circulating pool of cells containing histamine and other potent mediators such as leukotrienes, may be more involved in systemic anaphylaxis than originally thought. We wished to examine if secretory phospholipase A2, a systemic allergen found in honey bee venom (HBV-sPLA2) may activate basophils directly leading to rapid systemic mediator release. Basophils were isolated from human blood and stimulated with increasing concentrations of HBV-sPLA2. We found that physiological concentrations of HBV-sPLA2 induce rapid leukotriene C4 production from purified human basophils within 5 min, while interleukin (IL)-4 expression and production was induced at later time-points. Histamine release was not induced, signifying that HBV-sPLA2 did not induce generalized degranulation. Surface expression of CD63, CD69 and CD11b were up-regulated following HBV-sPLA2 treatment. Stimulation of basophils with anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) following treatment with HBV-sPLA2 did not induce more leukotriene release. To investigate the mechanism of leukotriene production, 9-12 octadecadiynioc acid, a cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and 15-lipoxygenase inhibitor, was used and this abrogated leukotriene production. These results indicate that HBV-sPLA2 can directly activate human basophils in vitro to induce leukotriene production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although AV fistulas are the preferred access for hemodialysis and have low complication rates, failure to function remains high and time to first dialysis may be several months. METHODS Data from a Computerized Patient Record System of patients undergoing AV fistula from October 2000 to March 2006 were reviewed for type of fistula, interval from AV fistula construction to first hemodialysis, patency period, and complication rate. RESULTS 129 patients were identified who underwent 155 autogenous AV fistula constructions. The average age was 62.1 (range 40-84) years old. 114 radiocephalic and 41 brachiocephalic fistulas were performed. 57 (50%) radiocephalic fistulas allowed successful hemodialysis after an average length of 13+/-5 weeks with a primary patency of 13+/-4 months. 24 (42%) fistulas subsequently thrombosed, 7 (12%) developed fistula stenosis, and 2 (4%) developed steal syndrome. 28 (68%) brachiocephalic fistulas reached successful hemodialysis after 6+/-2 weeks with a primary patency of 16+/-7 months. Eleven (42%) of the brachiocephalic fistulas that reached hemodialysis remained patent while four (15%) thrombosed. Two (8%) brachiocephalic fistulas thrombosed before reaching hemodialysis. There were two incidences (5%) of steal syndrome in the brachiocephalic group with one case being severe leading to tissue loss in the hand. CONCLUSION Brachiocephalic fistulas were superior to radiocephalic in both time to maturity, primary patency, and functional primary patency. Brachiocephalic fistulas had a higher maturation rate and were less likely to fail once hemodialysis began. Vascular surgeons should develop better patient selection to predict which fistulas will function successfully rather than risk complications of prolonged central catheters.

Abstract
Among inherited diseases of the liver, Crigler-Najjar type 1 disease (CN-1), which results from complete deficiency in bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity (B-UGT1), is an attractive target for gene therapy studies. Hyperbilirubinemic Gunn rats, a model of CN-1, were injected at 2 days of age with lentiviral or oncoretroviral vectors encoding the human B-UGT1. After injection, bilirubinemia was normalized for up to 95 weeks. Bilirubin conjugates were present in the bile, demonstrating liver transduction. PCR and enzyme activity analysis confirmed gene and phenotype correction in liver. We observed that when using a strong viral promoter, a complete correction was achieved with less than 5% of B-UGT1 copy per haploid genome and after a reconstitution of 12% B-UGT1 normal activity. Liver histology remained normal throughout the experiment and tissue distribution analysis revealed preferential hepatocyte transduction after systemic delivery. Finally, no adverse immune response occurred even after induction of nonspecific liver inflammation, suggesting immune ignorance to the therapeutic protein. Our present results document the lifelong safety of gene therapy for CN-1 with retroviral vectors. They offer a better delineation of liver gene correction level required to achieve complete correction of bilirubinemia and pave the way for future clinical application of gene therapy for inherited liver disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Co-morbidity, medical and surgical interventions often cause alterations to drug plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters in critically ill patients. In the present study, we investigated parameters influencing plasma caspofungin concentrations in patients of a surgical intensive care unit (SICU). METHODS In a monocentre open study, caspofungin trough concentrations (C(24)) were determined for a group of SICU patients. A linear-mixed model was then used to assess factors influencing caspofungin plasma concentrations. RESULTS A total of 40 SICU patients were enrolled. Age and body weight ranged from 22 to 76 years and 47 to 108 kg, respectively. All participants received a caspofungin loading dose of 70 mg and a maintenance dose of 50 mg/day. The median duration of therapy was 10 days. Caspofungin C(24) in SICU patients varied more than those determined for healthy subjects reported in previous studies (0.52-4.08 microg/mL versus 1.12-1.78 microg/mL). According to our model, caspofungin C(24) were predicted to be significantly higher in patients with body weight <75 kg (P=0.019) and patients with albumin concentration >23.6 g/L (P=0.030). CONCLUSIONS Our results show that body weight and albumin concentration influence caspofungin C(24) in SICU patients and should therefore be considered prognostic factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect on blood pressure of dietary advice to consume a combination of plant-based cholesterol-lowering foods (dietary portfolio). METHODS For 1 year, 66 hyperlipidemic subjects were prescribed diets high in plant sterols (1.0 g/1000 kcal), soy protein (22.5 g/1000 kcal), viscous fibers (10 g/1000 kcal) and almonds (22.5 g/1000 kcal). There was no control group. Seven-day diet record, blood pressure and body weight were monitored initially monthly and later at 2-monthly intervals throughout the study. RESULTS Fifty subjects completed the 1-year study. When the last observation was carried forward for non-completers (n=9) or those who changed their blood pressure medications (n=7), a small mean reduction was seen in body weight 0.7+/-0.3 kg (P=0.036). The corresponding reductions from baseline in systolic and diastolic blood pressure at 1 year (n=66 subjects) were -4.2+/-1.3 mm Hg (P=0.002) and -2.3+/-0.7 mm Hg (P=0.001), respectively. Blood pressure reductions occurred within the first 2 weeks, with stable blood pressures 6 weeks before and 4 weeks after starting the diet. Diastolic blood pressure reduction was significantly related to weight change (r=0.30, n=50, P=0.036). Only compliance with almond intake advice related to blood pressure reduction (systolic: r=-0.34, n=50, P=0.017; diastolic: r=-0.29, n=50, P=0.041). CONCLUSIONS A dietary portfolio of plant-based cholesterol-lowering foods reduced blood pressure significantly, related to almond intake. The dietary portfolio approach of combining a range of cholesterol-lowering plant foods may benefit cardiovascular disease risk both by reducing serum lipids and also blood pressure.

Abstract
The dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is primarily a complication of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) among children in South East Asia. A case-control study was carried out at the children hospital no 1 (Ho-Chi-Minh City, Vietnam) in May-July 2005, to identify the predictive factors of the DSS among 1-15 year patients with DHE Forty consecutive admitted cases and forty controls were studied. The associated features of DSS were the 7-12 year age group and the re-infection by the dengue virus. The vaccination against the Japanese encephalitis B was not associated statistically significantly with the shock syndrome. The clinical predictors of DSS gathered an abdominal tenderness, an hepatomegaly, a lethargy, a cold extremity presentation. DSS associated laboratory features were a value of hematocrit a 50 % and a platelet cell count < or = 75,000/mm3.
