Abstract
SummaryTissue factor (TF) is a transmembrane glycoprotein which assembles with factor VIIa on cell surfaces to form a proteolytically active cofactor-enzyme complex; the TF/VIIa complex initiates the coagulation protease cascade. In response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and phorbol-12 myristate 13-acetate (PMA), monocytes synthesize and express TF on their surface. However, the mechanisms by which LPS and PMA activate TF synthesis by human blood monocytes are not fully understood. As it has been established that LPS and PMA activate protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) in monocytes, we studied the role of PTK in LPS and PMA induction of TF by human blood monocytes. Both LPS-and PMA-induced TF activity was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by the protein tyrosine kinase-specific inhibitors herbimycin A and genistein. TF antigen determination confirmed that LPS- and PMA-induced cell surface TF protein levels decreased in parallel to TF functional activity under herbimycin A and genistein treatment. Northern blot analysis of total RNA from LPS- and PMA-stimulated monocytes showed a concentration-dependent decrease in TF mRNA levels in response to herbimycin A and genistein. The rate of decay of LPS-induced TF mRNA, evaluated after the arrest of transcription by actinomycin D was not affected by genistein and herbimycin A, suggesting that the inhibitory effects occur at least partly at the transcriptional level. We conclude that LPS- and PMA-induced TF production by human monocytes is dependent on tyrosine kinase activation.

Abstract
Background To evaluate role of AMH as a diagnostic tool for PCOS. Methods This was a prospective case-control study on women attending Gynae OPD of Dr RML Hospital, New Delhi, from 1 November 2015 to 31 March 2017. Study comprised of 45 women with PCOS, diagnosed using Rotterdam criteria and 45 women as controls. Clinical history included oligomenorrhea, hirsutism, examination included BMI, Ferriman-Gallwey score, investigations included blood for FSH, LH, estradiol, TSH, prolactin, total testosterone, AMH level and pelvic USG which was done for all women. Results Both PCOS cases and control were matched for age and BMI. Median AMH levels of 4.32 ng/ml in PCOS cases was almost twice that of 2.32 ng/ml in controls (p = 0.001). Maximum diagnostic potential of AMH alone for PCOS was at a cut-off of 3.44 ng/ml with sensitivity of 77.78% and specificity of 68.89%. AMH was used as an adjunct to existing Rotterdam criteria as the fourth parameter OA+HA+PCOM+AMH (any three out of four) yielded sensitivity of 80%. However, when PCOM in Rotterdam criteria was replaced by AMH, OA+HA+AMH (any two out of three) or OA/HA+AMH resulted in sensitivity of 86.67 and 71.11%, respectively. Conclusion AMH levels were significantly higher in PCOS than in controls. AMH as an independent marker could not effectively diagnose PCOS. However, AMH levels as an adjunct to existing Rotterdam criteria for diagnosis of PCOS had good diagnostic potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alpha globin chain variants are clinically significant since they directly influence the structure and function of the hemoglobin (Hb) molecules they constitute, either in combination with normal beta globin chains or with variant beta chains, thereby altering the morbidity and mortality associated with the resultant hemoglobinopathies. We describe here two unrelated families from Madhya Pradesh who had a nondeletional alpha-chain variant, HbO Indonesia (CD116 G → A). Members of one of the two families also had coinheritance of sickle hemoglobin (HbS). AIMS The aim was to study the phenotype of HbO Indonesia and its interaction with HbS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hb electrophoresis, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), covalent reverse dot blot hybridization, amplification refractory mutation system, multiplex polymerase chain reaction, and direct gene sequencing were used to identify and characterize the variant Hbs. RESULTS The abnormal Hb moved in HbS region in Hb electrophoresis at alkaline pH but gave an abnormal peak in HPLC with a retention time (RT) of 4.86-4.89 min. In two members of the family with coinheritance of HbS, it produced small additional abnormal Hb peaks (4.6% in heterozygous and 11.9% in homozygous member) in HPLC with a longer RT (5.15-5.17 min) possibly resulting from a combination of HbO Indonesia alpha chain with HbS beta chain. CONCLUSIONS It appears that depending on the zygosity of HbS, HbO Indonesia would subtract a variable amount of HbS beta chain from the total pool, thereby potentially reducing the clinical severity of HbS disease. HbO Indonesia per se does not cause anemia or alter the red cell indices.

Abstract
Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphomas (HSTCL) are rare cancers and comprise 5% of peripheral T-cell lymphomas. These well-characterized extranodal lymphomas have a disguised onset, secondary to intrasinusoidal infiltration of the spleen, liver, and bone marrow, with a rapidly progressive course that is poorly responsive to chemotherapy and often ensues in the setting of immune system suppression. We describe the clinical, immunophenotypic, cytogenetic, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and molecular analyses for T cell receptor gene rearrangement in a 21-year-old man diagnosed with HSTCL. Immunophenotypic analysis revealed negativity for CD5 as well as double negativity for CD4/CD8 mature T-cell immunophenotype, which suggested the diagnosis of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. Molecular analysis confirmed a TCR gene rearrangement, thereby verifying the common T-cell origin of the present HSTCL case. Furthermore, cytogenetic analysis revealed a novel chromosomal rearrangement, t(7;15)(p22;q21). Metaphase fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis confirmed the translocation of a chromosomal segment from 15q21 to 7p22.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test a new hypothesis that the glue/contrast admixture used for embolisation reduces the dose delivered to AVMs using an experimental model. METHOD A model was created using a block of "solid water" (6 x 5 x 2 cm) with twelve wells of different depths. Different concentrations of the glue admixture (Enbucrilate + Lipiodol) were used. The model was irradiated using a 5MV beam with a clinical LINAC system and the dose was checked upstream and downstream. Dose was measured using Kodak XV film, a Vidar 16 bit film scanner and software for therapeutic film dosimetry measurements (RIT software). RESULTS The radiation dose varied with the distance beyond the glue solid water interface. For distances of 0, 2 and 5 mm to the film, the mean reduction was 13.65% (SD = 2.94), 6.87% (SD = 1.95) and 1.75% (SD = 1.14), respectively. There was also correlation with the Lipiodol concentration in the mixture. The maximum reductions for 80, 50 and 20% Lipiodol concentrations were 16.1% (SD = 1.32), 14.85% (SD = 0.98) and 10% (SD = 1.21), respectively. There was no correlation between the glue depth and the dose delivered. CONCLUSION The hypothesis that the glue mixture used for embolisation reduces the radiation dose delivered was experimentally confirmed with this study.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of splenic hemangiomas and hamartomas, including their pattern of dynamic contrast material enhancement. MATERIALS AND METHODS The appearance of 28 lesions in 18 patients was retrospectively reviewed on T2-weighted images (16 patients), unenhanced T1-weighted images (18 patients), and dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (17 patients). Seventeen of 23 hemangiomas and all five hamartomas were proved at pathologic examination. RESULTS Of the 22 hemangiomas imaged with T2-weighting, 19 were hyperintense, two were isointense, and one was hypointense relative to the spleen. Dynamic gadolinium-enhanced imaging demonstrated a progressive centripetal pattern of enhancement in 19 of 22 hemangiomas. On delayed images, 19 hemangiomas demonstrated uniform enhancement. Of the five hamartomas, four were imaged with T2-weighting; three were hyperintense and one was hypointense relative to the spleen. All hamartomas demonstrated diffuse heterogeneous enhancement on images obtained early after administration of contrast material and became more uniformly enhanced on delayed images. CONCLUSION Splenic hemangiomas showed signal intensity characteristics and enhancement patterns similar to those described for hepatic hemangiomas. Since these features have been shown to reliably distinguish hemangiomas from other benign and malignant liver lesions, it may be reasonable to consider without histologic verification that lesions in the spleen with these imaging features represent hemangiomas.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rapid transport from scene to closest trauma center requires optimal use of public safety first responder (FR), basic life support (BLS), advanced life support (ALS), and transport resources (ground or air). In some parts of this regional emergency medical services (EMS) system, on-scene ALS requires contact with on-line medical command (OLMC) to obtain authorization for air medical helicopter (AMH) dispatch, because some EMS medical directors believe that this may decrease overutilization of AMH services. HYPOTHESIS The hypothesis of this study was that requiring prior OLMC for AMH dispatch prolongs mean time to a trauma center versus either FR or BLS request for AMH. METHODS Computer mapping programs were used to model the most rapid driving time to the closest trauma center from 167 actual AMH responses to the scene of a motor vehicle accident. In an OLMC-ALS model, only OLMC-ALS can request an AMH. In a BLS model, BLS units arrive on the scene and the crew requests simultaneous dispatch of an ALS response and an AMH. In the FR model, on arrival at the scene, a FR requests simultaneous dispatch of a BLS unit, an ALS unit, and an AMH. RESULTS The OLMC-ALS model resulted in a longer mean value for time to trauma center by an AMH than did the computer model for all ground transport settings. The FR model yielded a shorter mean time for AMH compared with the mean values for time to trauma center for all settings. Differences in mean values for time in urban settings were small (ground: 42 minutes, air: 36 minutes), whereas those for the suburban (ground: 52 minutes, air: 41 minutes), and those for rural (ground: 69 minutes, air: 47 minutes) were significant clinically. For the BLS model, these differences persisted, but were significant clinically only in the rural setting (ground: 68 minutes, air: 53 minutes). CONCLUSIONS Optimal use of AMH requires balancing the need for early helicopter dispatch to fully exploit its speed advantage with the disadvantage of expensive overutilization. This computer model indicates that the best person to request AMH varies by venue: in urban settings, the OLMC physician should request AMH dispatch; in suburban venues, BLS should request AMH dispatch; and in rural venues, FRs should request AMH dispatch.

Abstract
Fibrin deposition is an integral feature of the inflammatory response. In response to C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase reactant, blood monocytes synthesize and express tissue factor (TF), the main initiator of blood coagulation. We report the inhibitory effect of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and that of pentoxifylline, a methyl xanthine derivative, on monocyte expression of TF activity, TF protein and TF mRNA in response to CRP. These agents may be of use in diseases where a TF-induced prothrombotic state is detrimental.

Abstract
In Gram-negative septic shock, human monocytes synthesize and express on their cytoplasmic membrane tissue factor (TF), a potent activator of the coagulation cascades. The role of TF in triggering disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in these patients appears to be clear. We report the suppressive effect of interleukin-10 (IL-10) on endotoxin-induced TF activity and antigen levels, and on the expression of TF mRNA levels in human monocytes. These results emphasize the potential therapeutic value of this cytokine in septic shock, a condition still associated with a high mortality rate.

Abstract
Increased expression of tissue factor (TF) procoagulant activity by blood monocytes and tissue macrophages is implicated in a number of thrombotic disorders, as well as in fibrin deposition associated with inflammatory lesions and immunological diseases. We found that interleukin 4 (IL-4), a T lymphocyte-derived cytokine known to regulate a number of monocyte functions, inhibited the production of TF by monocytes in response to endotoxin and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) in vitro. IL-4 had a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on functional TF procoagulant activity (PCA) and reduced the binding of an anti-TF antibody, as assessed by flow cytometry analysis. Moreover, IL-4 reduced LPS- and PMA-induced TF mRNA levels. TF mRNA stability was not modified by IL-4 after the arrest of transcription by actinomycin D. We thus conclude that mRNA suppression is mediated by an effect occurring at the transcriptional level. Our results also show that the suppressive effect of IL-4 is independent of an increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP, another established inhibitor of TF production. Locally produced IL-4 might thus contribute to limiting the consequences of monocyte activation.
