Abstract
Excessive alcohol consumption leads to serious liver injury. Necroptosis is a programmed cell death form, which has been confirmed to be involved in alcoholic liver injury. However, the exact mechanism remains still unclear. In this study, we found that ethanol caused hepatocytes necroptosis by activating receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 and 3 (RIPK1 and RIPK3). Meanwhile, autophagy was activated in ethanol-treated hepatocytes. Accumulative studies have demonstrated a possible link between autophagy and necroptosis. Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), an autophagy marker protein, is essential for autophagosome biogenesis/maturation. But little attention has been paid to its functional role. In this study, we explored whether LC3 was involved in ethanol-induced necroptosis. The data showed that LC3 interacted with RIPK1 and RIPK3 in ethanol-treated AML12 cells and mice liver by co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and colocalization assay. Ethanol-induced necrosome formation and subsequent necroptosis were alleviated in hepatocytes by knockdown of LC3 or autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA). These results demonstrated that LC3 accumulation facilitated the formation of necrosome by LC3-RIPK1 and LC3-RIPK3 interactions, eventually caused hepatocytes necroptosis after acute ethanol exposure. Our current research could potentially offer a new understanding of the intricate mechanisms involved in the development of acute alcoholic liver injury.

Abstract
Elaidic acid (EA, C18:1 trans) is a kind of principal Trans fatty acid (TFA) and is widely found in processed food. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death, distinct from apoptosis and traditional necrosis. Excessive pyroptosis could induce body injury and serious inflammation. However, the effect of EA on pyroptosis has not been reported. In the study, we found that EA exposure caused liver damage and hepatocyte pyroptosis by testing GSDMD-N, Caspase 1, IL-18, and IL-1β in mice and HepG2 cells. Further exploring the mechanisms, we found that EA-induced pyroptosis depended on Cathepsin B (CTSB)-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Cell autophagy was closely related to lysosomes. Our study revealed that EA promoted hepatocyte autophagy, and activated autophagy induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and CTSB leakage. Inhibition of autophagy by 3-MA mitigated the CTSB leak, reduced the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and then attenuated the EA-induced pyroptosis. In summary, these results indicated that EA induced hepatocyte pyroptosis via autophagy-CTSB-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. The study revealed new insights into the toxicity mechanism of EA.

Abstract
Biorhythm regulates a variety of physiological functions and enables organisms to adapt to changing environments. 3-Monochloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) is a common food thermal processing contaminant, and the kidney is its toxic target organ. However, the nephrotoxicity mechanism of 3-MCPD has not been fully elucidated. In the study, we found that 3-MCPD caused mitochondrial damage in renal cells by inhibiting the SIRT3/SOD2 pathway. Further, we found that 3-MCPD could interfere with rhythm protein BMAL1 expression at protein and mRNA levels in mice kidney and NRK-52E cells. Simultaneously, the balance of the daily oscillation of SIRT3/SOD2 pathway proteins was impeded under 3-MCPD treatment. To determine the role of BAML1 in mitochondrial damage, we overexpressed the BMAL1 protein. The data showed that BMAL1 overexpression upregulated SIRT3 and SOD2 expression and attenuated mitochondrial damage caused by 3-MCPD. These results indicated that 3-MCPD inhibited the SIRT3/SOD2 pathway by affecting the expression of the rhythm protein BMAL1, thereby inducing mitochondrial damage in renal cells. Taken together, our work reveals that 3-MCPD may possess a toxic effect via circadian clock mechanisms.

Abstract
BackgroundUpadacitinib (UPA) was shown to be safe and effective through 2 years in patients (pts) with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) naïve to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) in the pivotal phase 2/3 SELECT-AXIS 1 trial.1,2ObjectivesTo assess the efficacy and safety of UPA in pts with active AS with an inadequate response (IR) to bDMARDs.MethodsSELECT-AXIS 2 (NCT04169373) was conducted under a master protocol and includes two separate studies (one for AS bDMARD-IR and one for non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis [nr-axSpA]). The AS bDMARD-IR study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled, phase 3 trial that enrolled adults ≥18 years with AS who met modified New York criteria, had BASDAI and pt’s assessment of total back pain scores ≥4 (numeric rating scale 0–10) at study entry, and had an IR to one or two bDMARDs (TNF inhibitor or IL-17 inhibitor). Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive oral UPA 15 mg once daily (QD) or PBO during the 14-week (wk) double-blind treatment period. The primary endpoint was ASAS40 response at wk 14. Multiplicity-controlled secondary endpoints evaluated at wk 14 were improvements from baseline in disease activity (ASDAS [CRP], ASDAS ID [<1.3], ASDAS LDA [<2.1], BASDAI50, ASAS20, and ASAS PR), pain (total and nocturnal back pain), function (BASFI), objective measure of inflammation (SPARCC MRI score of the spine), spinal mobility (BASMI), enthesitis (MASES), and quality of life (ASQoL and ASAS HI). Non-responder imputation incorporating multiple imputation (NRI-MI) was used to handle intercurrent events and missing data for binary endpoints. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test and mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) were used for analyzing binary and continuous endpoints, respectively. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) assessed through wk 14 are reported for pts who had ≥1 dose of study drug.ResultsAll 420 randomized pts with active AS received assigned treatment (UPA 15 mg, n=211; PBO, n=209); 409 (97%) received study drug through wk 14. Baseline demographic and disease characteristics were generally similar between treatment groups and reflective of an active AS bDMARD-IR population (74% male; mean age 42.4 years; mean disease duration 7.7 years; 83% HLA-B27 positive; mean BASDAI 6.8). Significantly more pts achieved the primary endpoint of ASAS40 response at wk 14 with UPA vs PBO (45% vs 18%; P<0.0001; Figure 1); UPA showed onset of effect in ASAS40 as early as wk 4 (nominal P≤0.05). All multiplicity-controlled secondary endpoints met statistical significance for UPA vs PBO at wk 14 across multiple clinical domains of AS (P<0.0001; Figure 1). The rate of TEAEs was similar between treatment groups through wk 14 (UPA, 41%; PBO, 37%). TEAEs led to discontinuation in 3 (1.4%) pts treated with PBO and none with UPA. Serious infections occurred with UPA (2.4%) but not with PBO and included 4 events of COVID-19 and 1 event of uveitis. Additional events of uveitis were reported in 3 (1.4%) pts treated with PBO. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occurred in 1 (0.5%) pt on UPA and none on PBO. No malignancy, major adverse cardiovascular events, venous thromboembolic events, or death were reported with UPA; 1 event of malignancy was observed with PBO.ConclusionUPA 15 mg QD was significantly more effective than PBO over 14 wks of treatment in pts with active AS and IR to bDMARDs. No new safety risks were identified with UPA compared with its known safety profile.3,4 These findings are consistent with and complementary to those of SELECT-AXIS 1 (bDMARD-naïve AS population),1,2 and support the use of UPA in pts with active AS, including those who had a previous IR to bDMARD therapy.References[1]van der Heijde D, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundUpadacitinib (UPA), an oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients (pts) with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and prior inadequate response or intolerance to ≥1 biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) at week (wk) 56 in the phase 3 SELECT-PsA 2 study.1ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of UPA at wk 104 from the ongoing long-term extension of SELECT-PsA 2.MethodsPts were randomized to UPA 15 mg (UPA15), UPA 30 mg (UPA30), or placebo (PBO) for 24 wks; PBO pts were then switched to UPA15 or UPA30. For continuous UPA treatment groups, efficacy endpoints at wk 104 were analyzed using non-responder imputation (NRI) and as observed (AO) (binary endpoints) or mixed-effect model repeated measures (MMRM) and AO (continuous endpoints). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were summarized for pts who received ≥1 dose of study drug using visit-based cut-off at wk 104.ResultsA total of 641 pts received ≥1 dose of study drug. At wk 104, 38.4% of all patients had discontinued study drug, with the highest discontinuation observed in patients randomized to PBO at baseline (all PBO: 46.7%). The most common reasons for discontinuation were lack of efficacy (UPA15: 12.3%, UPA30: 8.7%, all PBO: 21.7%) and adverse event (UPA15: 10.9%, UPA30: 13.3%, all PBO: 12.7%). The proportion of UPA pts that achieved ACR20/50/70, MDA, PASI75/90/100, and resolution of dactylitis and enthesitis were generally similar, or further improved, with 104 wks of treatment vs 56 wks1 (Table 1). Similarly, mean change from baseline in HAQ-DI, patient’s assessment of pain, BASDAI, and ASDAS was improved with UPA treatment. At 104 wks of therapy, clinical responses were largely similar with UPA15 and UPA30. Generally, safety data at wk 104 (Figure 1) were consistent with that reported at wk 56.1 Rates of serious infection, herpes zoster, hepatic disorder, anemia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, and CPK elevation remained numerically higher with UPA30 vs UPA15, while rates of malignancies, MACE, and VTE were similar for both UPA groups. One death was reported with UPA15 (unexplained due to lack of information; however, the patient had recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer) and 2 with UPA30 (pancytopenia and COVID-19 pneumonia).Table 1.Efficacy Endpoints at Week 104EndpointUPA15 (n=211)UPA30 (n=218)Proportion of Pts (%)aNRIAONRIAOACR2055.580.354.681.8ACR5044.562.939.959.4ACR7023.232.221.631.5Minimal Disease Activity (MDA)29.441.333.949.3PASI75b47.769.852.781.1PASI90b37.755.244.367.8PASI100b23.135.435.955.6Resolution of enthesitis by LEIc39.867.837.568.4Resolution of dactylitis by LDId54.597.452.096.9Change from BLeMMRMAOMMRMAOHealth Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI)-0.36-0.39-0.50-0.53Patient’s assessment of pain (numeric rating scale)-2.7-3.0-2.9-3.1Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI)f-2.6-3.0-2.6-2.9Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS)f-1.4-1.7-1.3-1.5ACR20/50/70, ≥20%/50%/70% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria; AO, as observed; BL, baseline; LDI, Leeds Dactylitis Index; LEI, Leeds Enthesitis Index; MMRM, mixed effect model repeated measurement; NRI, non-responder imputation; PASI75/90/100, ≥75%/90%/100% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index; pts, patients; UPA, upadacitinib.aData shown as NRI and AO for binary endpoints.bFor pts with psoriasis affecting ≥3% of body surface area at BL.cFor pts with LEI >0 at BL; resolution LEI=0.dFor pts with LDI >0 at BL; resolution LDI=0.eData shown as MMRM (LS mean) and AO (mean) for continuous endpoints.fFor pts with psoriatic spondylitis at BL.ConclusionIn PsA pts with prior inadequate response or intolerance to ≥1 bDMARD, clinical responses were maintained with UPA15 and UPA30 up to 2 years of treatment.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a disreputable pathogenic bacterium that has been proven to colonize the intestinal tract. The goal of this study is to find anti-MRSA probiotic yeast from food and evaluate its probiotic characteristics and safety. Finally, 15 strains were isolated from fruit peel with anti-MRSA ability. Using DNA sequence analysis, they were identified as the genus Hanseniaspora (7 strains) and Starmerella (8 strains). Starmerella bacillaris CC-PT4 (CGMCC No. 23573) that was isolated from the grape peel has good auto-aggregation ability and hydrophobicity, and can tolerate 0.3% bile, pH 2, simulated gastric fluid (SGF), and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). Strikingly, Starmerella bacillaris CC-PT4, like commercial probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 (Florastor ®), can adapt to the temperature of the human body (37 ℃). After safety assessment, this strain is sensitive to amphotericin B and cannot produced β-hemolytic activities. Overall, this study provides a new candidate for probiotic yeast with anti-MRSA ability.

Abstract
In recent years, foodborne pollutants have become a hot issue in the field of food safety. 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) is a widely existing food contaminant. In our previous study, it was confirmed that 3-MCPD can block autophagic flux by inhibiting lysosomal function, thus causing liver injury. Ginseng is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that contains a variety of bioactive ingredients, among which ginsenoside Rb1 (Gs-Rb1) is the most abundant. In this study, we aim to use Gs-Rb1 to improve 3-MCPD-induced autophagic flux blockage to alleviate liver injury. First, a nontoxic dose of Gs-Rb1 was identified by screening with the MTT method in which Gs-Rb1was added to HepG2 cells and co-treated with 3-MCPD. We found that Gs-Rb1 effectively enhanced the cell activity inhibited by 3-MCPD. Meanwhile, apoptosis data showed that Gs-Rb1 significantly alleviated the apoptosis of HepG2 cells induced by 3-MCPD. Subsequently, we found that Gs-Rb1 could alleviate autophagic flux blockage caused by 3-MCPD in a dose-dependent manner by detecting autophagy-related protein levels and transfecting mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenovirus. On this basis, we used Western blotting and qPCR to explore whether miR-128 was involved in the alleviation effect of Gs-Rb1 on autophagic flux blockade induced by 3-MCPD. The results showed that Gs-Rb1 inhibited the expression of miR-128 and promoted the nuclear expression and target gene transcription of TFEB. Finally, the findings were confirmed by using a hsa-miR-128 inhibitor and mimic. We found that hsa-miR-128 inhibitor alleviated the autophagic flux blockage and apoptosis caused by 3-MCPD and Gs-Rb1 also had a certain alleviation effect on the autophagic flux blockage and apoptosis caused by hsa-miR-128 mimic. This study elaborated the mechanism by which Gs-Rb1 alleviates hepatotoxicity induced by foodborne 3-MCPD by stimulating autophagic flux via miR-128-targeted TFEB, which provides a reliable theoretical basis and target for the use of natural substances to reduce the harm of food processing pollutants on the human body. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: We found that natural ginsenoside Rb1 can alleviate liver injury induced by 3-MCPD(a toxic substance found in foods such as refined vegetable oil, soy sauce, and baby milk powder), which is conducive to the development and utilization of ginseng and has practical significance for the prevention of foodborne liver injury.

Abstract
Background:Upadacitinib (UPA) is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor currently under evaluation for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Previous 24-week results from the SELECT-PsA 2 study in patients with PsA and prior inadequate response to ≥1 biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) demonstrated UPA efficacy with a safety profile consistent with that observed in rheumatoid arthritis.1Objectives:To evaluate the 56-week efficacy and safety of UPA in the SELECT-PsA 2 study.Methods:Patients were randomized to 56 weeks of blinded treatment with UPA 15 or 30 mg once daily (QD), or placebo (PBO) switched to UPA 15 or 30 mg QD at Week 24. Efficacy endpoints included proportions of patients achieving 20/50/70% improvement in American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria (ACR20/50/70), 75/90/100% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI75/90/100), resolution of dactylitis and enthesitis, and minimal disease activity (MDA). Non-responder imputation was used for missing data. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were summarized for events occurring while on UPA and ≤30 days after last dose (for those who discontinued).Results:Of 641 patients who received ≥1 dose of study drug, 74.7% completed 56 weeks of treatment. Clinical improvements based on the proportion of patients achieving ACR20/50/70 and MDA (Figure 1), PASI75/90/100, and resolution of dactylitis and enthesitis were generally maintained through 56 weeks of UPA treatment. Week 56 results for patients who switched from PBO to UPA at Week 24 had a similar trajectory to those for patients originally randomized to UPA. Overall, improvements observed with UPA 15 mg were similar to or approached those with UPA 30 mg over 56 weeks. Dose-dependent increases were observed for exposure-adjusted event rates (EAERs) of serious infections, herpes zoster (HZ), hepatic disorders, hematologic lab-related adverse events, and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) elevations, but not for exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), or malignancies (Table 1). Generally, rates of TEAEs were lower with UPA 15 mg versus 30 mg.Conclusion:In patients with PsA and prior inadequate response to ≥1 bDMARD, UPA efficacy was maintained over 56 weeks with no new safety signals.References:[1]Mease PJ, et al.

Abstract
Background:Upadacitinib (UPA), an oral Janus kinase inhibitor, demonstrated significant improvements in signs, symptoms, and structural inhibition as monotherapy (mono) vs methotrexate (MTX) in MTX-naïve patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through 48 weeks (wks).1Objectives:To report the efficacy and safety of UPA vs MTX mono up to 156 wks in pts with RA from the ongoing long-term extension (LTE) of the SELECT-EARLY trial.Methods:During the 48-wk double-blind study period, pts were randomized to UPA 15 or 30 mg once daily (QD) or MTX (titrated to 20 mg/wk by Wk 8). At Wk 26, pts who did not achieve Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) remission (≤2.8) and had <20% improvement from baseline in tender or swollen joint count received blinded rescue therapy (addition of MTX for UPA groups and UPA 15 or 30 mg for MTX group). In the LTE, pts received open-label treatment once the last pt reached Wk 48. Efficacy assessments up to Wk 156 were summarized by randomized group and included American College of Rheumatology (ACR) responses, remission and low disease activity (LDA) measures, and change in modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS; up to 96 wks). Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) per 100 pt-years (PY) for pts on continuous mono were summarized through 156 wks. Non-responder imputation was used for binary endpoints for missing data and when pts received rescue therapy or prematurely discontinued the study drug.Results:Of 945 pts randomized and treated, 775 entered the LTE on study drug (including 57 rescued pts; MTX, 33; UPA 15 mg, 17; UPA 30 mg, 7). Overall, 161 (21%) pts discontinued during the LTE. At Wk 156, higher proportions of pts randomized to UPA achieved a 20/50/70% improvement in ACR response (ACR20/50/70), LDA, and remission vs MTX (Figure 1). Change from baseline in mTSS at Wk 96 favored UPA vs MTX (data not shown). Most AEs were numerically more frequent with UPA 30 mg. The overall rate of serious infection was numerically higher with UPA vs MTX (Table 1). Herpes zoster (HZ), neutropenia, non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) elevation were more frequent with UPA vs MTX. Two active tuberculosis (TB) events were reported in each UPA arm; 3 adjudicated gastrointestinal (GI) perforation events were observed in the UPA 30 mg arm. Adjudicated major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) or venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) were comparable across treatment arms.Conclusion:UPA monotherapy showed sustained clinically meaningful responses including remission vs MTX through Wk 156 but higher rates of several AEs, including HZ, neutropenia, and CPK elevations; no new safety risks were observed compared with previous results.1,2References:[1]van Vollenhoven R, et al.

Abstract
Background:In the SELECT-COMPARE study, the Janus kinase inhibitor, upadacitinib (UPA), demonstrated significant improvements in the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) when administered at 15 mg once daily (QD) on background methotrexate (MTX) compared with adalimumab (ADA) plus MTX at Week 12 that were maintained through 72 weeks in patients with prior inadequate response to MTX.1Objectives:To assess the long-term safety and efficacy of UPA vs ADA over 3 years in the ongoing long-term extension (LTE).Methods:Patients receiving background MTX were randomized 2:2:1 to UPA 15 mg QD, placebo (PBO), or ADA 40 mg every other week. Between Weeks 14-26, rescue was mandated for either lack of response (<20% improvement in tender or swollen joint counts: Weeks 14, 18, 22) or failure to achieve a targeted disease outcome (CDAI low disease activity: Week 26). Patients who completed the 48-week double-blind period could enter an LTE for up to 10 years total. This analysis describes patients through 3 years of treatment. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) per 100 patient years (PY), including events of special interest (AESI), were summarized up to 3 years based on exposure to UPA and to ADA. Efficacy was analyzed by original randomized groups. Patients who were rescued or prematurely discontinued study drug were categorized as non-responders for visits after rescue or discontinuation. Descriptive analyses were performed without formal statistical comparisons.Results:In total, 651, 651, and 327 patients were randomized at baseline to receive UPA, PBO, and ADA, respectively. Between Weeks 14-26, 252 (39%) patients were rescued from UPA to ADA, 159 (49%) were rescued from ADA to UPA, and all PBO patients were switched to UPA by Week 26.1 A higher proportion of patients randomized to UPA completed 3 years without rescue compared to those randomized to ADA (47% vs 36%, respectively). UPA was generally well-tolerated as assessed by the rates of TEAEs, including serious AEs, AEs leading to discontinuation of study drug, and AESIs, including serious and opportunistic infections, malignancies, adjudicated major adverse cardiac events or venous thromboembolism; Figure 1). Consistent with previous analyses, the event rates of AESIs were generally comparable between the UPA and ADA groups, while herpes zoster, lymphopenia, hepatic disorder, and CPK elevation were reported at higher rates with UPA. Consistent with earlier time points, greater proportions of patients randomized to UPA achieved low disease activity and remission at 3 years based on CDAI, as well as DAS28(CRP) ≤3.2 or <2.6, compared with patients randomized to ADA (Table 1).Conclusion:The safety profile of UPA was consistent with the results reported previously and with the integrated Phase 3 safety analysis.1,2 Higher levels of clinical response continued to be observed with UPA vs ADA through 3 years of treatment.References:[1]Fleischmann R, et al.

Abstract
Background:Methotrexate (MTX) is often used as first-line therapy for patients (pts) with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) despite limited efficacy and data on appropriate dosage. Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) is suggested as an optimal treat-to-target outcome. Biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) have demonstrated improved outcomes (including MDA rates) over MTX. However, more data are needed to define the optimal timing of bDMARD initiation and characterize efficacy of MTX dose escalation, to achieve optimal outcomes.Objectives:To compare achievement of MDA between adding adalimumab (ADA) vs escalating MTX dose in PsA pts with inadequate disease control after initial MTX therapy.Methods:The open-label, 2-part CONTROL study enrolled bDMARD-naive adult pts with active PsA (not in MDA at screening and ≥3 tender and ≥3 swollen joints) despite MTX 15 mg every wk (ew) for ≥4 wks. Pts were randomized to ADA 40 mg every other wk + MTX 15 mg (ADA+MTX) or escalated MTX to 20–25 mg ew or highest tolerable dose during 16-wk part 1 (Fig 1). The primary endpoint was achievement of MDA, defined as fulfilling ≥5 of the 7 criteria: tender joint count 68 (TJC68) ≤1, swollen joint count 66 (SJC66) ≤1, Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) ≤1 or body surface area (BSA) ≤3%, pt’s pain (visual analogue scale [VAS] 0–100) ≤15, Pt’s Global Assessment of disease activity (PtGA) VAS ≤20, Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) ≤0.5 and tender entheseal points (0–8) ≤1. Key secondary efficacy endpoints were achievement of ACR20 and PASI75 and change from baseline in HAQ-DI and Leeds Enthesitis Index (LEI) at wk 16.Results:Overall, 246 pts were randomized; 245 received treatment (ADA+MTX, n=123; escalated MTX, n=122); 117 (95%) pts and 110 (90%) pts, respectively, completed part 1. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups (Table). During part 1, the average dose of MTX was 21.8 mg/wk (55% on oral MTX) in the escalated MTX group. Significantly higher proportion of pts in ADA+MTX (42%) vs escalated MTX (13%) group achieved MDA at wk 16 (non-responder imputation [NRI]; difference [95% CI] 28% [18%–39%];P<0.001;Fig 2). Observed case analysis confirmed the NRI analysis. Lower MDA rates at wk 16 were observed in the escalated MTX arm regardless of prior MTX duration (Fig 2). Significant improvements in key secondary endpoints were also observed with ADA+MTX vs escalated MTX (allP<0.05;Fig 2). In part 1, the proportion of patients with adverse events was similar between groups (ADA+MTX, 62% vs escalated MTX, 57%); no opportunistic infections, tuberculosis, malignancies, or deaths were reported during part 1.Conclusion:A significantly higher proportion of pts achieved MDA at wk 16 after introducing ADA compared with escalating MTX dose; higher rates were observed regardless of prior MTX duration. Significantly higher responses in musculoskeletal, skin, and quality of life measures were observed with ADA+MTX vs escalated MTX. No new safety signals with ADA were identified in this pt population.Table 1.Baseline DemographicsCharacteristics, mean (SD)ADA+MTXn=123Escalated MTXn=122Female, n (%)64 (52.0)59 (48.4)Age, y51.4 (12.2)48.8 (12.7)BSA >3%, n (%)74 (60.2)78 (63.9)Pt pain63.7 (19.5)62.3 (20.9)PtGA65.0 (19.9)62.9 (20.9)HAQ-DI1.2 (0.6)1.2 (0.7)LEI + plantar count3.5 (2.1)3.5 (2.1)Disclosure of Interests:Laura C Coates: None declared, William Tillett Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Celgene, Eli Lilly, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer Inc, UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Celgene, Lilly, Janssen, Novartis, MSD, Pfizer Inc, UCB, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Amgen, Celgene, Lilly, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer Inc, UCB, Maria Antonietta D’Agostino Consultant of: AbbVie, BMS, Novartis, and Roche, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, BMS, Novartis, and Roche, Proton Rahman Grant/research support from: Janssen and Novartis, Consultant of: Abbott, AbbVie, Amgen, BMS, Celgene, Lilly, Janssen, Novartis, and Pfizer., Speakers bureau: Abbott, AbbVie, Amgen, BMS, Celgene, Lilly, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, Frank Behrens Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Janssen, Chugai, Celgene, Lilly and Roche, Consultant of: Pfizer, AbbVie, Sanofi, Lilly, Novartis, Genzyme, Boehringer, Janssen, MSD, Celgene, Roche and Chugai, Philip G Conaghan Consultant of: AbbVie, BMS, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Flexion Therapeutics, Galapagos, GSK, Novartis, Pfizer, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Erin McDearmon-Blondell Shareholder of: AbbVie, Employee of: AbbVie, Xianwei Bu Shareholder of: AbbVie, Employee of: AbbVie, Liang Chen Shareholder of: AbbVie, Employee of: AbbVie, Mudra Kapoor Shareholder of: AbbVie, Employee of: AbbVie, Philip J Mease Grant/research support from: Abbott, Amgen, Biogen Idec, BMS, Celgene Corporation, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Sun Pharmaceutical, UCB – grant/research support, Consultant of: Abbott, Amgen, Biogen Idec, BMS, Celgene Corporation, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Sun Pharmaceutical, UCB – consultant, Speakers bureau: Abbott, Amgen, Biogen Idec, BMS, Eli Lilly, Genentech, Janssen, Pfizer, UCB – speakers bureau

Abstract
ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is a common foodborne pathogen that cause life-threatening infection with high mortality rates. Biofilm development of L. monocytogenes decreases its sensitivity to antibiotics, which has long attracted attention globally. Caprylic acid (CA) and potassium sorbate (PS) are both widely used food preservatives, but their synergistic effect against L. monocytogenes has not been described. This study explored the antibacterial activities of the CA-PS combination against L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644 grown in planktonic or biofilm cultures. The fractional inhibitory concentration index values, determined by the checkerboard microdilution method, were 0.37 ± 0.03 and 0.31 ± 0.04, showing their synergistic antimicrobial effects against L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644 in planktonic and biofilm cultures, respectively. CA-PS effectively eradicated the biofilm biomass to 10.8% by crystal violet assay and to 8.63% by fluorescence microscopic analysis compared with the control. The apoptosis rates of microbial cells embedded within biofilm significantly increased to 51.4%. Subsequent analysis revealed that the combination inhibited biofilm formation by affecting extracellular DNA release and polysaccharide intercellular adhesion expression, which was decreased from 8.93 to 1.04 ng of extracellular DNA per relative biomass and to 54.7% of the control, respectively. In addition, the combination inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644 by up to 0.67 ± 0.05 and 0.30 ± 0.03 log CFU/cm2 in planktonic and biofilm modes on a carrot surface, respectively. The synergistic antibacterial effects of CA-PS against L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644 were statistically significant, and the combination is an excellent candidate to be a novel food preservative.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning. Tea tree oil (TTO), an essential oil distilled from Melaleuca alternifolia, is well-known for its antibacterial activities. TTO effectively inhibited all 19 tested strains of S. aureus biofilm and planktonic cells. Phenotype analyses of S. aureus biofilm cells exposed to TTO were performed by biofilm adhesion assays, eDNA detection and PIA release. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used in our study to elucidate the mechanism of TTO as a potential antibacterial agent to evaluate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the functional network in S. aureus ATCC 29213 biofilms. TTO significantly changed (greater than a 2- or less than a 2-fold change) the expression of 304 genes in S. aureus contained in biofilms. The levels of genes related to the glycine, serine and threonine metabolism pathway, purine metabolism pathway, pyrimidine metabolism pathway and amino acid biosynthesis pathway were dramatically changed in the biofilm exposed to TTO. Furthermore, the expression changes identified by RNA-seq analysis were verified by real-time RT-PCR. To the best of our knowledge, this research is the first study to report the phenotype and expression profiles of S. aureus in biofilms exposed to TTO.

Abstract
Food contaminated with pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), represents a serious health risk to human beings. Totarol is an antibacterial novel phenolic diterpenes. In present study, the antibacterial activity of totarol against S. aureus was investigated in a food system. The antibacterial activity of totarol was determined by measuring the zones of inhibition and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). The MICs for S. aureus strains were in the range of 2-4 μg/ml. The probable antibacterial mechanism of totarol was the alteration in cell membranes integrity and permeability, which leading to the leakage of cellular materials. The electric conductivity showed a time- and dose-dependent increasing manner, and we utilized totarol to induce the production of cytoplasmic β-galactosidase in S. aureus. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis further confirmed that S. aureus cell membranes were damaged by totarol. The time-kill assay and detection of the kinetics of S. aureus deactivation in situ indicated that totarol has good preservative activities in a food model. Totarol successfully inhibited S. aureus development in carrot juice, at room temperature (25 °C) and in refrigerator (4 °C) respectively. Our works provided not only additional evidences in support of totarol being regarded as a natural antibacterial food preservative but also fundamental understanding on the mode of antibacterial action. It is necessary to consider that totarol will become a promising antibacterial additive for food preservative.

Abstract
We report results from the first search for ν_{μ}→ν_{e} transitions by the NOvA experiment. In an exposure equivalent to 2.74×10^{20} protons on target in the upgraded NuMI beam at Fermilab, we observe 6 events in the Far Detector, compared to a background expectation of 0.99±0.11(syst) events based on the Near Detector measurement. A secondary analysis observes 11 events with a background of 1.07±0.14(syst). The 3.3σ excess of events observed in the primary analysis disfavors 0.1π<δ_{CP}<0.5π in the inverted mass hierarchy at the 90% C.L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Staphylococci account for a large proportion of hospital-acquired infections, especially among patients with indwelling devices. These infections are often caused by biofilm-producing strains, which are difficult to eradicate and may eventually cause bacteremia and metastatic infections. Recent evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells can enhance bacterial clearance in vivo. METHODS In this study, a rat model with carboxymethyl cellulose pouch infection was used to analyze the efficacy of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) against the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. RESULTS The results showed that the administration of BMSCs effectively reduced the number of bacterial colonies and the expression of many cytokines and chemokines (such as interleukin [IL]-6, IL-1β, IL-10 and CCL5). Unlike the fibroblast control groups, the pouch tissues from the BMSC-treated rats showed the formation of granulations, suggesting that the healing of the wound was in progress. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that the treatment of BMSCs can reduce methicillin-resistant S aureus infection in vivo, thereby reducing the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Divalproex sodium is an antiepileptic drug. Hepatotoxicity is one of the most common side effects induced by divalproex sodium. Impaired fatty acid metabolism is considered to play an important role in the drug-induced hepatotoxicity. The sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) are two key transcription factors involved, respectively, in fatty acid synthesis and degradation in liver. In the present study, we investigated the hepatotoxicity induced by divalproex sodium and its potential mechanism. The results indicated that divalproex sodium significantly decreased the cell viability and increased lactate dehydrogenase leakage in hepatocytes. The activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate transaminase were increased in hepatocytes treated with divalproex sodium. Furthermore, divalproex sodium activated SREBP-1c and increased the mRNA expressions of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, fatty acid synthase and stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1. Divalproex sodium also inhibited PPARα and decreased the messenger RNA expressions of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A. These results suggest that the hepatotoxicity induced by divalproex sodium may be related with fatty acid synthesis and degradation mediated by SREBP-1c and PPARα in hepatocytes.

Abstract
20S-protopanaxadiol (aPPD) is a metabolite of ginseng saponins, which is reported to be pro-apoptotic in some cells but anti-apoptotic in neuronal cells by regulating Akt signaling. Owing to its cholesterol-like structure, we hypothesized that aPPD may regulate Akt signaling by interacting with lipid rafts. Here, we compared Akt signaling in glioblastoma U87MG and neuroblastoma Neuro-2a cells treated with aPPD. aPPD did not change Akt activity in the total plasma membranes of each cell type, but drastically altered the activity of raft-associated Akt. Strikingly, Akt activity was decreased in the rafts of U87MG cells but increased in N2a cells by aPPD through regulating raft-associated dephosphorylation. The bidirectional regulation of raft-associated Akt signaling by aPPD enhanced the chemotoxicity of Paclitaxel or Vinblastine in U87MG cells but attenuated the excitotoxicity of N-methyl--aspartate in N2a cells. Our results demonstrated that the activity of raft-associated but not total membrane Akt determines its cellular functions. Lipid rafts differ in different types of cells, which allows for the possibility of cell-type-specific targeting for which aPPD might prove to be a useful agent.

Abstract
C4d immunohistochemical staining of liver allograft biopsies was performed to assess its relationship to other pathological changes in the liver. C4d deposition was detected in 69.2% of liver graft biopsies from patients under going rejection, 33.3% of liver graft biopsies from patients with hepatitis B relapse after transplantation, and 28.6% of liver biopsies from patients with hepatitis B. When rejection occurred C4d deposition was located in the vascular walls of portal areas and hepatic sinusoidal walls. Examination of biopsies from patients with hepatitis B relapse after transplantation or hepatitis B infection showed C4d deposition only in the vascular walls of the portal area. C4d deposition in both vascular walls of portal area and hepatic sinusoidal walls was detected in only one of 12 ischemia-reperfusion damage cases. Repeated biopsy of the same patient 1 month later revealed acute cellular rejection. No C4d deposition was found in biopsies from a patient with bile duct occlusion after liver transplantation. C4d might serve as a sensitive marker for the diagnosis of liver rejection.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate proliferative patterns in metaplastic columnar epithelia of the oesophagus, classified as oxynto-cardiac (n = 43), cardiac (n = 45) intestinal without dysplasia (n = 41), dysplastic intestinal epithelium (n = 25), and adenocarcinoma (n = 15) by Ki67 immunohistochemistry. METHODS AND RESULTS Abnormal patterns of Ki67 immunoreactivity were classified into (i) expanded proliferation, characterized by increased levels of Ki67 expression in the deep and mid third of the foveolar pit; and (ii) aberrant proliferation, characterized by positive staining in the surface epithelium and superficial third of the foveolar pit. A significant step-wise increase in the frequency of expanded proliferation was seen in oxynto-cardiac, cardiac, intestinal and dysplastic intestinal epithelium indicative of increasing levels of damage. Aberrant proliferation was absent in oxynto-cardiac mucosa, present at a low and similar level in cardiac, intestinal and low-grade dysplastic epithelia and at a significantly increased frequency in high-grade dysplasia. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that oxynto-cardiac mucosa occurs in a low damage environment and intestinal metaplasia in a high damage environment along the length of the columnar lined oesophageal segment. Aberrant proliferative patterns with Ki67 staining are not useful in differentiating reactive epithelia from low-grade dysplasia, but may prove useful in the diagnosis of high-grade dysplasia.

Abstract
Targeted gene expression through viral vectors has been a promising approach for gene therapy. However, the effects of viral gene products expressed from virus vectors on the expression of the host gene are not well known. In the present study, we examined the activities of cellular promoters, including the promoter for genes of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), tyrosinase and probasin, in both tumor and normal cells after infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) vectors. Our results showed that infection with replication-defective HSV-1 vectors significantly upregulated the activity of all three cellular promoters in a nonsequence specific fashion in all cell types tested. Furthermore, viral infection upregulated activities of the hTERT promoter and endogenous telomerase in nontumoral cells. Additional experiments suggested that the viral immediate-early gene product, infected cell protein 0, might be responsible for the deregulation of cellular promoter activity and activation of telomerase. Our study alerts to the potential risk of oncogenesis through deregulation of host gene expression, such as the telomerase by viral vectors in normal cells.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma shows a characteristic t(X;18) translocation but not the expected female predominance in incidence. We speculate that, among females, one X-chromosome is inactivated and that only the translocation to an active X-chromosome leads to development of synovial sarcoma. Population-based cancer registry data from the SEER program support this hypothesis.

Abstract
Prion diseases are characterized by the conversion of the normal cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into a pathogenic isoform (PrP(Sc)). PrP(C) binds copper, has superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity in vitro, and its expression aids in the cellular response to oxidative stress. However, the interplay between PrPs (PrP(C), PrP(Sc) and possibly other abnormal species), copper, anti-oxidation activity and pathogenesis of prion diseases remain unclear. In this study, we reported dramatic depression of SOD-like activity by the affinity-purified PrPs from scrapie-infected brains, and together with significant reduction of Cu/Zn-SOD activity, correlates with significant perturbations in the divalent metals contents. We also detected elevated levels of nitric oxide and superoxide in the infected brains, which could be escalating the oxidative modification of cellular proteins, reducing gluathione peroxidase activity and increasing the levels of lipid peroxidation markers. Taken together, our results suggest that brain metal imbalances, especially copper, in scrapie infection is likely to affect the anti-oxidation functions of PrP and SODs, which, together with other cellular dysfunctions, predispose the brains to oxidative impairment and eventual degeneration. To our knowledge, this is the first study documenting a physiological connection between brain metals imbalances, the anti-oxidation function of PrP, and aberrations in the cellular responses to oxidative stress, in scrapie infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To search for a hearing screening model for newborn and to investigate the prevalence of newborn hearing loss in our country. METHODS The distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) was used to test the hearing in 2,998 of 3,075 newborns before discharge. Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) was again used for cases failed in the hospital screening 4 weeks later. Those cases failed in both screening steps were finally tested by auditory brainstem response (ABR). All infants failed in ABR test received diagnostic evaluation audiologically to identify the category and degree of hearing loss. The pass criterion of DPOAE was defined as signal-noise-ratio (SNR) exceeding 6 dB in 4 of 5 frequencies between 1.5-6 kHz. The pass criterion of ABR was the presence of wave V in response to 35 dB nHL click stimuli. RESULTS The OAE screening in the hospital showed that 2,710 (90.4%) newborns passed the first test. Two hundred and sixty three of 288 newborns passed the second OAE screening after one month. Six of 25 infants failed in ABR test were eventually identified to be hearing impaired. CONCLUSION Two-stages screening, combining OAE and ABR tests, may be an ideal model for newborn hearing screening. The prevalence of congenital hearing loss is similar to that reported in the literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the epidemiological characteristics of old people's hearing. METHOD Questionnaires, physical examination, audiometry and bio-chemical tests were performed on the elders above 60 years old in part of the urban and rural area of Suzhou with random sample survey. RESULT A total of 1,040 individuals was investigated, among which 505 were from urban, and 535 were from rural. 33 of 505 senior citizen (6.53%) were nososacusis, 282 (55.84%) were presbycusis and 21 (4.16%) were noise-induced deafness; In the rural area, 35 of 535 (6.54%) were nososacusis, 232 (43.36%) were presbycusis, and 4 (0.75%) were noise deafness. There was significant difference of the incidence of presbycusis between urban and rural. The audiometric thresholds chart manifested that the threshold elevated with age increasing especially in high-frequency. CONCLUSION The etiology of hearing loss of elders was mainly due to presbycusis. The higher incidence of psychotic disorder in urban probably caused a correspondingly higher incidence of presbycusis. So the prevention and cure of some age-induced diseased (e.g. hypertension, arteriosclerosis and diabetes) may be helpful to release and improve presbycusis.

Abstract
A series of 7-oxo-7H-dibenz[f,ij]isoquinoline and 7-oxo-7H-benzo[e]perimidines bearing cationic side chains were prepared from aminoanthraquinones. The perimidines were prepared from 1-aminoanthraquinone by initial condensation with urea or dimethylacetamide. A series of 2-, 4-, 8-, and 11-carboxy derivatives of the dibenzisoquinolines were prepared from aminoanthraquinonecarboxylic acids. The cationic derivatives were prepared from these via amide, amine, or methylene linkers to study the effects of side chain positioning on biological activity. Within the series of carboxamide-linked compounds, the order of increasing cytotoxicity was 8- < 4- < 2- < 11-. The 2- and 4-carboxamides showed substantial growth delays against in vivo subcutaneous colon 38 tumors in mice, but the 11-carboxamide had curative activity in this refractory model and is being investigated further.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the interaction of SV40 early region gene coding product, the large tumor antigen(Tag) with tumor suppressor p53 in human brain tumorigenesis. METHODS Tag was detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blot in 43 cases of human brain tumors and 5 cases of normal human brain tissues. Tag-p53 specific complex was screened in 18 Tag positive cases. RESULTS Tag was found in all of 5 ependymomas and 2 choroid plexus papillomas, as well as in pituitary adenomas (5/6), astrocytomas (7/10), meningiomas (4/6), glioblastomas multiforme (3/5) and medulloblastomas (2/5). None of the 5 normal brain tissues were positive for Tag, nor were 3 oligodendrogliomas and 1 pineocytoma. Tag-p53 complexes were found in all of 18 Tag positive cases. CONCLUSION SV40 Tag can form a specific complex with p53 in human brain tumors, the inactivation of p53 due to the formation of Tag-p53 complex may be one of the important mechanisms of human brain tumorigenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore effective methods for the diagnosis and treatment of horizontal-canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HC-BPPV). METHODS Medical records from nine patients with HC-BPPV, treated between July 1996 and March 2000, were retrospectively analyzed. Data of complete history, audiograms, positional tests and neuro-otological examinations were collected. All patients were treated with a particle repositioning maneuver called the "barbecue rotation" which starts with the patient in the supine position and consists of three 90-degree head rotations towards the unaffected ear. RESULTS HC-BPPV was characterized by brief attacks of intense vertigo that were induced mainly by rolling over in bed (9/9) and turning the head to either side while upright (5/9). In most cases, rotation to the pathological side from supine position caused a very intense horizontal nystagmus beating towards the undermost ear. Findings such as latency and fatigability, which are common features of posterior-canal BPPV (PC-BPPV), were not present. After the barbecue rotation, all patients had immediate and sustained relief of their attacks during the 4 to 15 months' follow up. CONCLUSION HC-BPPV is different from PC-BPPV and other vertiginous diseases in typical presentations and positional testing results. The barbecue rotation is a successful method for curing the disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To search responsible nuclear genes for matrilineal non-syndromic deafness. METHODS Whole genome-wide scanning was performed to analyze the 365 short tandem repeats in a deaf pedigree with maternal inheritance using DNA pooling strategy. Frequencies of allele in one patient pool were compared with that in one unaffected relative pool as well as in one normal control pool. Linkage analysis was also conducted in some positive loci. RESULTS Allele from 45 loci occurred more frequently in the patient pool than that in the unaffected relative pool and the control pool. No linkage was found from any candidate locus investigated. CONCLUSION 45 positive loci obtained from this family may be as the candidate positions for matrilineal non-syndromic deafness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression and clinical significance of urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) in human gliomas. METHODS mRNA and protein expressions of uPA were examined by Northern blot hybridization and immunohistochemical method in 43 cases of gliomas and 5 cases of normal brain tissues and their relationship to clinical indexes was comprehensively analyzed. RESULTS All tissues expressed the 2.5 kb transcript of uPA mRNA. The uPA mRNA level in high-grade gliomas was considerably higher than that in low-grade gliomas and normal brain tissues (P < 0.01). Levels of uPA mRNA expression in tumor tissues with recurrence during 18 postoperative months and a survival period less than 3 years, were significantly higher than counterparts (P < 0.01). uPA mRNA expression was strongly correlated with the microvessel quantity (MVQ) in gliomas (r = 0.56, P < 0.01). uPA protein was mainly distributed in tumor cells and endothelial cells of glioblastomas and anaplastic astrocytomas. CONCLUSION Expression of uPA is associated with the malignant progression, invasion and angiogenesis of gliomas, and it may play a critical role in the recurrence and prognosis of gliomas.

Abstract
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is the most commonly inherited hyperlipidemia in man, with a frequency of +/-1% in the general population and approximately 10% in myocardial infarction survivors. A genomic scan in 18 Dutch FCHL families resulted in the identification of several loci with evidence for linkage. One of these regions, 1p36.2, contains TNFRSF1B which encodes one of the tumor necrosis factor receptors. An intron 4 polymorphic CA-repeat was used to confirm linkage to FCHL. Linear regression analysis using 79 independent sib pairs showed linkage with a quantitative FCHL discriminant function (P = 0.032), and, borderline, with apolipoprotein B levels (P = 0.064). Furthermore, in a case-control study, association was demonstrated since the overall CA-repeat genotype distribution was significantly different among 40 unrelated FCHL patients and 48 unrelated healthy spouse controls (P = 0.029). This difference was due to a significant increase in allele CA271 homozygotes in the FCHL patients (P = 0.019). Mutation analysis of exon 6 in 73 FCHL family members demonstrated the presence of a single nucleotide polymorphism with two alleles, coding for methionine (196M) and arginine (196R). Complete linkage disequilibrium between CA267, CA271 and CA273 and this polymorphism was detected. In 85 hyperlipidemic FCHL subjects, an association was demonstrated between soluble TNFRSF1B plasma concentrations and the CA271-196M haplotype. In conclusion, TNFRSF1B was found to be associated with susceptibility to FCHL. Our data suggest that an as yet unknown disease-associated mutation, linked to alleles 196M and CA271, plays a role in the pathophysiology of FCHL.

Abstract
N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-nitrosourea (BCNU) is a commonly used agent for treatment of malignant gliomas. The mechanisms of cell death and the role of Bcl-2 and Bax in a BCNU-treated rat glioma cell line were investigated. Our results indicate that apoptosis occurs only at a high concentration of BCNU with elevated levels of Bax and a reversed ratio of Bax/Bcl-2. Overexpression of Bax delivered by a herpes simplex viral vector in combination with BCNU chemotherapy enhanced the efficacy of BCNU in a rat glioma model. These findings suggest that conventional treatment with BCNU may be combined with gene therapy that delivers a bax gene into the glioma cells to achieve a high level of Bax, facilitating BCNU-induced cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Metaplastic carcinomas of the breast are uncommon breast tumors with aberrant cellular differentiation, most commonly showing ductal, squamous, and mesenchymal components. A breast carcinoma composed of both epithelial and melanocytic differentiation is rare, with only four previously reported cases in the literature. We present the fifth reported case, where the diagnosis was suggested by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and later confirmed after the surgical specimen was excised. Histologically, this neoplasm revealed multidirectional differentiation, consisting primarily of squamous and melanocytic cell types, with focal glandular and osseous metaplasia. Based on the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural findings, we conclude that such tumors fall within the spectrum of metaplastic carcinomas of the breast. We believe that this case will further contribute to the understanding of this enigmatic tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) regulates a variety of processes involved in tissue morphogenesis, cell differentiation, migration and invasion. We analyzed the available informations to better interpret the pathogenetic relationship between uPA activity and the malignant biological behavior of human brain gliomas. METHODS We retrospectively studied the presence and distribution of uPA in human brain gliomas by Northern blot hybridization and immunohistochemical methods in 43 cases of brain gliomas and 5 cases of normal brain tissues. RESULTS All tissues expressed 2.5 kb transcripts of uPA mRNA. The uPA mRNA levels were significantly higher in high-grade gliomas than in low-grade gliomas and normal brain tissues (P < 0.01). Levels of uPA mRNA expression in tumor tissues with recurrence in 18 months postoperatively and survival period less than 3 years were significantly higher than counterparts (P < 0.01). The distribution of uPA protein in the immunoreactivity was mainly in tumor cells and microvascular endothelial cells of glioblastomas and anaplastic astrocytomas, localizing at cytoplasms, especially near sites of vascular proliferation and at the leading edges of tumors. CONCLUSIONS High expression of uPA gene is associated with the malignant progression of gliomas and demonstrates a high level of correlation with the recurrence and invasive behaviors of high grade gliomas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore audiological features of matrilineal non-syndromic deafness and its molecular mechanism. METHODS A large family with 41 members having inherited deafness was studied. Complete history and the data of general and otolaryngological examinations were collected. All subjects were screened for mitochondrial DNA A1555G mutation by molecular analysis. Audiological evaluation included puretone audiometry, auditory brainstem responses and transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions. RESULTS All subjects were in good health generally. Molecular analysis showed that all maternal relatives with or without hearing loss harbored the A1555G mitochondrial mutation. No mutation was found among spouses and paternal relatives. Audiological results showed notable symmetric bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in 17 of 20 maternal relatives, in which 5 cases had a progressive hearing loss in the recent 11 years. The age of appearance of hearing loss ranged from 1 to 50 years. CONCLUSION All hearing-impaired subjects of this family had late-onset sensorineural hearing loss. Most of which were progressive. The A1555G mitochondrial mutation in the 12S rRNA gene is responsible for the disorder. Other factors, such as nuclear genes or environmental determinants, may influence the clinical expression of mutant mtDNA.
