Abstract
Introduction: Etranacogene dezaparvovec (EDZ), HemgenixⓇ,is a gene therapy recently approved for people with hemophilia B (PwHB).Objective: To estimate long-term clinical impact and cost of EDZ in the United States (US).Methods: A decision-analytic model was developed to evaluate the long-term impact of introducing EDZ for PwHB over a 20-year time horizon. Factor IX (FIX) prophylaxis comparator was a weighted average of different FIX prophylaxis regimens based on US market share data. We compared a scenario in which EDZ is introduced in the US versus a scenario without EDZ. Clinical inputs (annualized FIX-treated bleed rate; adverse event rates) were obtained from HOPE-B phase 3 trial. EDZ durability input was sourced from an analysis predicting long-term FIX activity with EDZ. EDZ one-time price was assumed at $3.5 million. Other medical costs, including FIX prophylaxis, disease monitoring, bleed management, and adverse events were from literature. The model estimated annual and cumulative costs, treated bleeds, and joint procedures over 20 years from EDZ introduction.Results: Approximately 596 PwHB were eligible for EDZ. EDZ uptake was estimated to avert 11,282 bleeds and 64 joint procedures over 20 years. Although adopting EDZ resulted in an annual excess cost over years 1-5 (mean: $53 million annually, total $265 million), annual cost savings were achieved beginning in year 6 (mean: $172 million annually; total $2.58 billion in years 6-20). The total cumulative 20-year cost savings was $2.32 billion, with cumulative cost savings beginning in year 8.Conclusion: Introducing EDZ to treat PwHB is expected to result in cost savings and patient benefit over 20 years. Initiating PwHB on EDZ sooner can produce greater and earlier savings and additional bleeds avoided. These results may be a conservative estimate of the full value of EDZ, as PwHB would continue to accrue savings beyond 20 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Etranacogene dezaparvovec is a recently approved gene therapy for people with hemophilia B (PwHB). Current standard of care is prophylaxis with factor IX (FIX) to prevent bleeding. Etranacogene dezaparvovec increases blood FIX levels such that FIX prophylaxis could be eliminated. OBJECTIVE To estimate the budgetary impact of etranacogene dezaparvovec adoption and utilization in a commercial health plan of the United States. METHODS A budget impact model was developed to evaluate the introduction of etranacogene dezaparvovec to treat severe or moderately severe hemophilia B. The model considered a hypothetical 1-million-member plan over a 5-year horizon. FIX therapy prophylaxis use was estimated based on a weighted average of relevant brands using US market share data. A scenario of etranacogene dezaparvovec adoption/utilization was compared with one without etranacogene dezaparvovec utilization. Two etranacogene dezaparvovec uptake (market share growth) analyses were performed: one with gradual uptake and alternatively assuming all eligible PwHB received etranacogene dezaparvovec in year 1. The one-time cost of etranacogene dezaparvovec was assumed to be $3.5 million. Other costs (FIX prophylaxis, disease monitoring, bleed management, and adverse events) were estimated from published literature. All costs were in 2022 US dollars. Bleed and adverse event rates were sourced from the HOPE-B trial comparing etranacogene dezaparvovec to previous FIX therapy prophylaxis. The model estimated annual and per-member per-month costs over 5 years. Secondary analyses were performed considering a 10-year horizon. RESULTS In the 1-million-member health plan, an estimated 1.8 PwHB were eligible for treatment with etranacogene dezaparvovec. Gradual uptake of etranacogene dezaparvovec resulted in cumulative 5-year budget impact of $848,509 compared with a scenario without etranacogene dezaparvovec. In years 1-5, the incremental annual and per-member per-month costs ranged from $79,824 to $271,435 and from $0.007 to $0.023, respectively. In the alternative uptake analysis, etranacogene dezaparvovec became cost saving annually beginning in year 2 and cumulatively beginning in year 5, for a 5-year savings of $754,844. Secondary analyses over 10 years found both uptake analyses cost saving. Other scenarios considered did not affect results substantially. CONCLUSIONS Introducing etranacogene dezaparvovec as treatment for PwHB would have a modest budget increase within 5 years after treatment but may become cost saving if all eligible PwHB were treated in year 1. Initiating PwHB on etranacogene dezaparvovec sooner may produce greater overall savings and earlier annual savings. Etranacogene dezaparvovec is a treatment option that may provide overall cost savings for US commercial health plans, which would increase as the plan size increases.

Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating citrus disease that is associated with bacteria of the genus 'Candidatus Liberibacter' (Ca. L.). Powerful diagnostic tools and management strategies are desired to control HLB. Host small RNAs (sRNA) play a vital role in regulating host responses to pathogen infection and are used as early diagnostic markers for many human diseases, including cancers. To determine whether citrus sRNAs regulate host responses to HLB, sRNAs were profiled from Citrus sinensis 10 and 14 weeks post grafting with Ca. L. asiaticus (Las)-positive or healthy tissue. Ten new microRNAs (miRNAs), 76 conserved miRNAs, and many small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were discovered. Several miRNAs and siRNAs were highly induced by Las infection, and can be potentially developed into early diagnosis markers of HLB. miR399, which is induced by phosphorus starvation in other plant species, was induced specifically by infection of Las but not Spiroplasma citri that causes citrus stubborn-a disease with symptoms similar to HLB. We found a 35% reduction of phosphorus in Las-positive citrus trees compared to healthy trees. Applying phosphorus oxyanion solutions to HLB-positive sweet orange trees reduced HLB symptom severity and significantly improved fruit production during a 3-year field trial in south-west Florida. Our molecular, physiological, and field data suggest that phosphorus deficiency is linked to HLB disease symptomology.

Abstract
One of the great challenges in science and engineering today is to develop technologies to improve the health of people in the poorest regions of the world. Here we integrated new procedures for manufacturing, fluid handling and signal detection in microfluidics into a single, easy-to-use point-of-care (POC) assay that faithfully replicates all steps of ELISA, at a lower total material cost. We performed this 'mChip' assay in Rwanda on hundreds of locally collected human samples. The chip had excellent performance in the diagnosis of HIV using only 1 μl of unprocessed whole blood and an ability to simultaneously diagnose HIV and syphilis with sensitivities and specificities that rival those of reference benchtop assays. Unlike most current rapid tests, the mChip test does not require user interpretation of the signal. Overall, we demonstrate an integrated strategy for miniaturizing complex laboratory assays using microfluidics and nanoparticles to enable POC diagnostics and early detection of infectious diseases in remote settings.

Abstract
Abstract
New drugs that target the EGFR signaling pathways suggest that EGFR inhibition exerts a chemosensitizing effect in colorectal cancer. We have previously reported that the combination of gefitinib, leucovorin, 5-flourouracil, and oxaliplatin (IFOX) resulted in higher response rates than those reported with FOLFOX-4 alone in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine genomic factors that might be associated with response or survival in the IFOX regimen.
Patients and Methods: Seventy-two patients had stage IV colorectal adenocarcinoma and were either untreated or previously treated prior to receiving the IFOX regimen. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues (FFPE; n=63) were obtained, and 4-um sections were cut, placed on slides, and deparaffinized in xylene, followed by laser capture microdissection (LCM; n=42) to enrich for tumor cells. Using real-time quantitative RT-PCR, thirty-five samples had good-quality actin RNA readings following LCM, and the expression levels of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency complementation group 1 (ERCC1), thymidylate synthase (TYMS), and thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) were separately quantified. To detect mutations in KRAS, DNA was extracted from fifty-eight patient samples and analyzed using the KRAS Mutector II kit (TrimGen, Sparks, MD).
Results: For the 33 patients available for RT-PCR analysis, expression levels of DPYD, EGFR, ERCC1, TYMP, or TYMS did not correlate significantly with response. However, in terms of survival, the overall survival rate was significantly worse in patients with a high DPYD expression level compared to patients with a low DPYD expression level (p<0.05), and in a multivariate analysis, patients with both a high DPYD expression and a low EGFR expression had the worst survival compared to all other patients with differing expression levels of these two genes (p<0.01). KRAS mutations were identified in 24 out of 58 patients (41%), but KRAS mutational status did not correlate with either response or survival.
Conclusion: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase mRNA expression was a significant independent prognostic factor for overall survival in colorectal cancer patients treated with FOLFOX-4 along with EGFR inhibition by gefitinib.

Abstract
We describe a microfluidic system that can control, in real time, the microenvironments of mammalian cells in naturally derived 3D extracellular matrix (ECM). This chip combines pneumatically actuated valves with an individually addressable array of 3D cell-laden ECM; actuation of valves determines the pathways for delivering reagents through the chip and for exchanging diffusible factors between cell chambers. To promote rapid perfusion of reagents through 3D gels (with complete exchange of reagents within the gel in seconds), we created conduits above the gels for fluid flow, and microposts to stabilize the gels under high perfusion rates. As a biological demonstration, we studied spatially segregated mouse embryonic stem cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts embedded in 3D Matrigel over days of culture. Overall, this system may be useful for high-throughput screening, single-cell analysis and studies of cell-cell communication, where rapid control of 3D cellular microenvironments is desired.

Abstract
We present evidence for transitions between fluxoid wells of a SQUID due to cascaded, two-photon processes. Such transitions are evidenced by an anomalous dependence on the transition rate from the one-photon resonant level within the initial well, which cannot be explained by previously observed macroscopic resonant tunneling. These two-photon processes may be a significant source of decoherence in SQUID qubits subject to microwave radiation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether p53 immunoreactivity is a prognostic factor for survival and pelvic control in rectal carcinoma treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS From 1981 through 1989, 146 patients with rectal carcinoma received postoperative radiotherapy and were followed for at least 5 years or until death. The specimens of 123 of these 146 patients could be retrieved and examined immunohistochemically for p53 expression. The prognostic value for survival and pelvic control of p53 expression and other patient and treatment factors was examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS p53 expression has no prognostic significance for overall survival in this group of 123 patients. The only prognostic factor for survival in this material is tumor stage (p < 0.01). The actuarial pelvic recurrence rates of p53- and p53+ cases are different in favor of the p53- ones. In the univariate analysis this difference is significant (p = 0.05). However, in the multivariate analysis the influence of p53 expression, additional to stage, becomes nonsignificant (p = 0.10). This indicates that p53 expression is not a strong independent prognostic factor for pelvic recurrence. In the multivariate analysis stage turns out to be the only predictor of pelvic recurrence (p = 0.03). When only recurrences inside the radiation field are considered, there is no difference between p53+ and p53-cases. CONCLUSION Based on this material, we have found no convincing evidence that p53 expression is an important predictor of survival or local control in rectal cancer treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. We have found no evidence that possible differences in radiosensitivity between p53+ and p53- tumors have clinical significance for this group of patients.

Abstract
Abortions in owl monkeys occurred in the late second and early third trimesters. Retrospective study of clinical records showed that handling, maternal anemia, karyotype, and season were unassociated with abortion. Most aborted infants had no gross lesions at necropsy. Some had renal tubular necorsis, probably a postmortem change.

Abstract
This article presents a view of lymphoid tissue architecture as defined by the traffic of defined lymphoid cell classes. The compartmentalization of lymphocytes is discussed in reference to specific cell-cell interactions that occur in antigen-driven immune responses. Finally, the distribution of normal and neoplastic lymphocytes in humans is defined and compared with animal model systems.
