Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the profound health and safety risks of precariously employed workers, many of whom are disproportionately Latinx and Black. Precarious employment (PE) is a social determinant of health (SDOH) characterized by low wages, hazardous conditions, unstable work schedules, no termination protection, and few benefits. Even before COVID-19, calls for more effective health promotion efforts to address SDOH like PE existed. PURPOSE The University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Healthy Work, Healthy Communities Through Healthy Work developed the Healthy Work Collaborative (HWC) as an evidence-informed capacity building policy, systems, and environmental change (PSE) initiative. The HWC aimed to facilitate cross-sectoral partnerships between health and labor sector partners. The labor sector provided technical assistance (TA) to participants to improve their ability to address PE through PSE. METHODS This article reports findings from a mixed-methods evaluation using the Kirkpatrick training model including participants' reactions, learning, behavior, and outcomes. A pre-post survey was administered to participants (N = 21) and analyzed descriptively; 3-month post HWC interviews were conducted (N = 13) and thematically analyzed. CONCLUSION Findings included positive results at all Kirkpatrick levels. Participants' reported that the HWC curriculum and delivery was valuable and well received; they demonstrated gains toward addressing PE through PSE knowledge and skills and increased or strengthened health/labor partnerships. In addition, HWC influenced participants' application of HWC concepts, and in a few cases, participants' made changes in policies and plans in their organizational settings. The HWC may serve as a model to address other SDOH through cross-sectoral PSE change.

Abstract
PURPOSE The necessity of living engineered heart valves to treat patients with severe heart disease poses a challenge to tissue engineers. To reach such goal it is crucial to fully understand the role and the activities of valvular endothelial cells (VECs) when they face different types of mechanical stimuli. This study focuses on decomposing the roles of different mechanical stimuli on heart valve endothelial surfaces and the response of VECs in terms of morphology and phenotype change. METHODS This study utilizes soft hydrogel-based scaffolds to use as a substrate for cell culture to mimic heart valve tissue leaflet. VECs were cultured as a monolayer on the gel surface and different types of mechanical stimuli were applied. Finally, the response of cells was investigated in terms of morphology and protein expression changes. RESULTS Single stimuli introduces actin fibers reorganization in VECs, change in cell morphology, and higher mesenchymal protein expression. On the other hand, combined stimuli application has lower impact on actin fibers reorganization and cell morphology change, with lower mesenchymal protein expression. CONCLUSIONS When VECs face a single mechanical stimuli, they undergo transdifferentiation and transform into mesenchymal cells. However, when these cells face a combination of mechanical stimuli, the rate of transformation decreases compared to single stimuli applications. This indicates that a single stimulus induces endothelial to mesenchymal transition in VECs while the process is slower under the combination of multiple mechanical stimuli.

Abstract
Heart valve leaflets are complex structures containing valve endothelial cells, interstitial cells, and extracellular matrix. Heart valve endothelial cells sense mechanical stimuli, and communicate amongst themselves and the surrounding cells and extracellular matrix to maintain tissue homeostasis. In the presence of abnormal mechanical stimuli, endothelial cell communication is triggered in defense and such processes may eventually lead to cardiac disease progression. This review focuses on the role of mechanical stimuli on heart valve endothelial surfaces-from heart valve development and maintenance of tissue integrity to disease progression with related signal pathways involved in this process.

Comparison of Serotonin-Regulated Calcific Processes in Aortic and Mitral Valvular Interstitial Cells. ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:19494-19505.

Abstract
Calcification is an important pathological process and a common complication of degenerative valvular heart diseases, with higher incidence in aortic versus mitral valves. Two phenotypes of valvular interstitial cells (VICs), activated VICs and osteoblastic VICs (obVICs), synergistically orchestrate this pathology. It has been demonstrated that serotonin is involved in early stages of myxomatous mitral degeneration, whereas the role of serotonin in calcific aortic valve disease is still unknown. To uncover the link between serotonin and osteogenesis in heart valves, osteogenesis of aortic and mitral VICs was induced in vitro. Actin polymerization and serotonin signaling were inhibited using cytochalasin D and serotonin inhibitors, respectively, to investigate the role of cell activation and serotonin signals in valvular cell osteogenesis. To evaluate calcification progress, calcium and collagen deposits along with the expression of protein markers, including the rate-limiting enzyme of serotonin synthesis [tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1)], were assessed. When exposed to osteogenic culture conditions and grown on soft surfaces, passage zero aortic VICs increased extracellular collagen deposits and obVIC phenotype markers. A more intense osteogenic process was observed in aortic VICs of higher passages, where cells were activated prior to osteogenic induction. For both, TPH1 expression was upregulated as osteogenesis advanced. However, these osteogenic changes were reversed upon serotonin inhibition. This discovery provides a better understanding of signaling pathways regulating VIC phenotype transformation and explains different manifestations of degenerative pathologies. In addition, the discovery of serotonin-based inhibition of valvular calcification will contribute to the development of potential novel therapies for calcific valvular diseases.

Abstract
Valvular endothelial cells line the outer layer of heart valves and can withstand shear forces caused by blood flow. In contrast to vascular endothelial cells, there is limited amount of research over valvular endothelial cells. For this reason, the exact physiologic behavior of valvular endothelial cells is unclear. Prior studies have concluded that valvular endothelial cells align perpendicularly to the direction of blood flow, while vascular endothelial cells align parallel to blood flow. Other studies have suggested that different ranges of shear stress uniquely impact the behavior of valvular endothelial cells. The goal of this study was to characterize the response of valvular endothelial cell under different types, magnitudes, and durations of shear stress. In this work, the results demonstrated that with increased shear rate and duration of exposure, valvular endothelial cells no longer possessed the traditional cuboidal morphology. Instead through the change in cell circularity and aspect ratio, valvular endothelial cells aligned in an organized manner. In addition, different forms of shear exposure caused the area and circularity of valvular endothelial cells to decrease while inducing mesenchymal transformation validated through αSMA and TGFβ1 expression. This is the first investigation showing that valvular endothelial cells alignment is not as straightforward as once thought (perpendicular to flow). Different types and magnitudes of shear induce different local behaviors. This is also the first demonstration of valvular endothelial cells undergoing EndMT without chemical inducers on a soft surface in vitro. Findings from this study provide insights to understanding the pathophysiology of valvular endothelial cells which can potentially propel future artificial engineered heart valves.

Abstract
To evaluate whether long-term drug treatment with on-site medical care is associated with diminished inpatient and outpatient service use and expenditures, we linked prospective interview data to concurrent Medicaid claims of drug users in a methadone program with comprehensive medical services. Patient care was classified as follows: long-term (>/=6 months) drug treatment with on-site usual source of medical care (linked care), long-term drug treatment only, or neither. Multivariate analyses adjusted for visit clustering within patients (n = 423, with 1,161 person-years of observation). After adjustment, linked care participants had more outpatient visits (p < .001), fewer emergency department (ED) visits (24% vs. 33%, p = .02) and fewer hospitalizations (27% vs. 40%, p = .002) than the "neither" group. Ambulatory care expenditures in the linked group were increased, whereas expenditures for other services were similar or reduced. Long-term drug treatment with on-site medical care was associated with increased ambulatory care, less ED and inpatient care, and no net increase in expenditures.

Abstract
Ocular complications of diabetes, particularly retinopathy, are the major cause of blindness in the working age population in industrialised nations. Laser photocoagulation has shown definite results in reducing visual morbidity with many more likely to benefit if diagnosed early enough. Institution of an efficient screening programme aimed at detecting patients at risk when they can still be effectively treated has been recognised as an urgent priority worldwide. In France, a signatory to the Saint Vincent's Declaration, an analysis of the national healthcare database reveals a gross inadequacy in the current extent of screening for diabetic retinopathy. The possible causative factors have been analysed and the necessary corrective measures, some of which are already under way, have been discussed. Ideally, screening by ophthalmologists at recommended intervals have been advised by national and professional health care associations. This has not been feasible owing to the lack of organised planning and serious manpower deficit caused by a progressive decline in the number of ophthalmologists. Recently, the need for an efficient, widely-available and user-friendly screening tool has led to the evaluation of multifield fundus photography in real time using digital nonmydriatic camera in comparison with more established methods of detecting diabetic retinopathy. Lastly, the future possibility of involving in France non-ophthalmologists like endocrinologists or general practitioner or non medical profession like orthoptists after proper training to meet the necessary manpower shortage has been addressed. Optimal use of telemedicine along with establishment of preferential reference channels for newly discovered cases of sight-threatening cases of retinopathy are public health priority necessary to give to the screening of diabetic retinopathy its full efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A population-based Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) Index was developed in New York City to identify geographic areas and subpopulations at increased risk for PCP. METHODS A zip code-level PCP Index was created from AIDS surveillance and hospital discharge records and defined as (number of PCP-related hospitalizations)/(number of persons living with AIDS). RESULTS In 1997, there were 2262 hospitalizations for PCP among 39 740 persons living with AIDS in New York City (PCP Index =.05691). PCP Index values varied widely across neighborhoods with high AIDS prevalence (West Village =.02532 vs Central Harlem =.08696). Some neighborhoods with moderate AIDS prevalence had strikingly high rates (Staten Island =.14035; northern Manhattan =.08756). CONCLUSIONS The PCP Index highlights communities in particular need of public health interventions to improve HIV-related service delivery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the results of management of glass intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs). METHODS A total of 51 eyes of 43 patients that sustained penetrating injury with glass IOFB were studied retrospectively. A total of 23.5% had IOFB only in the anterior segment; the rest had IOFB in the posterior segment alone or in both the anterior and posterior segments. Six eyes were followed conservatively despite IOFB in a functional eye. Removal of IOFB was combined with repair of retinal detachment (where present) using internal tamponade with gas or silicone oil or buckle. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 16.8 months, 66.7% of eyes recovered better than 6/60 (20/200) vision and 75.6% had attached retina. On univariate analysis, scleral entry wound, posterior segment IOFB, larger size of IOFB, and retinal damage were found to be associated with poor anatomic outcome. Lower presenting visual acuity, hyphema, retinal damage, subretinal hemorrhage, detached retina, and larger IOFB were associated with a poor functional result. Multivariate analysis identified retinal damage caused by the foreign body as the only factor significantly associated with poor anatomic as well as functional outcome. CONCLUSIONS Glass IOFBs are caused in a majority of cases by blast injury. Bilaterality is not uncommon. Presence of retinal damage is predictive of poor functional and anatomic results. Overall results are modest with modern vitreoretinal surgical techniques.

Abstract
A Phase I dose-escalation study using 90Y-CYT-356 monoclonal antibody was performed in 12 patients with hormone-refractory prostate carcinoma. Biodistribution studies using 111In-CYT-356 were performed 1 week before 90Y-CYT-356 administration. Of the 12 patients, 58% had at least one site of disease imaged after administration of 111In-CYT-356. The dose of 90Y ranged from 1.83-12 mCi/m2. Both 111In and 90Y-CYT-356 were tolerated well, without significant nonhematological toxicity. Myelosuppression was the dose-limiting toxicity and occurred at dose levels of 4.5-12 mCi/m2. Of the patients receiving </=9 mCi/m2, 55% had grade 1 or 2 leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia. Two of three patients treated with 12 mCi/m2 experienced grade 3 thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. One patient treated with 12 mCi/m2 had grade 4 neutropenia. The maximum tolerated dose of 90Y-CYT-356 was 9 mCi/m2. Only one patient developed a human anti-mouse antibody 4 weeks after treatment. No patient attained a complete or partial response based on prostate-specific antigen and/or radiological criteria. Three patients had transient subjective improvement in the symptomatology of their disease. In addition, patients treated with 12 mCi/m2 of 90Y-CYT-356 had a slightly longer freedom from disease progression than patients treated with doses of 90Y-CYT-356 </=9 mCi/m2.

Abstract
A Phase I/II dose escalation study of 90Y-murine anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) in patients with recurrent B-cell lymphoma was performed. The primary objectives of the study were: (a) to determine the effect of the preinfusion of unlabeled anti-CD20 mAb on the biodistribution of 111In-anti-CD20 mAb; (b) to determine the maximal tolerated dose of 90Y-anti-CD20 mAb that does not require bone marrow transplantation; and (c) to evaluate the safety and antitumor effect of 90Y-anti-CD20 mAb in patients with recurrent B-cell lymphoma. Eighteen patients with relapsed low- or intermediate-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated. Biodistribution studies with 111In-anti-CD20 mAb were performed prior to therapy. Groups of three or four patients were treated at dose levels of approximately 13.5, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mCi 90Y-anti-CD20 mAb. Three patients were retreated at the 40-mCi dose level. The use of unlabeled antibody affected the biodistribution favorably. Nonhematological toxicity was minimal. The only significant toxicity was myelosuppression. The overall response rate following a single dose of 90Y-anti-CD20 mAb therapy was 72%, with six complete responses and seven partial responses and freedom from progression of 3-29+ months following treatment. Radioimmunotherapy with </=50 mCi 90Y-anti-CD20 mAb resulted in minimal nonhematological toxicity and durable clinical responses in patients with recurrent B-cell lymphoma. Doses of </=40 mCi 90Y-anti-CD20 mAb were not myeloablative.
