Abstract

Purpose Antimalarial drug resistance is one of the major challenges in global efforts to control and eliminate malaria. In 2006, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) replaced with artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, in response to increasing SP resistance, which is associated with mutations in the dihydrofolate reductase (Pfdhfr) and dihydropteroate synthase (Pfdhps) genes. Patients and Methods To evaluate the trend of molecular markers associated with SP resistance on Bioko Island from 2011 to 2017, 179 samples collected during active case detection were analysed by PCR and DNA sequencing. Results Pfdhfr and Pfdhps gene sequences were obtained for 90.5% (162/179) and 77.1% (138/179) of the samples, respectively. For Pfdhfr, 97.5% (158/162), 95.7% (155/162) and 98.1% (159/162) of the samples contained N51I, C59R and S108N mutant alleles, respectively. And Pfdhps S436A, A437G, K540E, A581G, and A613S mutations were observed in 25.4% (35/138), 88.4% (122/138), 5.1% (7/138), 1.4% (2/138), and 7.2% (10/138) of the samples, respectively. Two classes of previously described Pfdhfr-Pfdhps haplotypes associated with SP resistance and their frequencies were identified: partial (IRNI-SGKAA, 59.4%) and full (IRNI-SGEAA, 5.5%) resistance. Although no significant difference was observed in different time periods (p>0.05), our study confirmed a slowly increasing trend of the frequencies of these SP-resistance markers in Bioko parasites over the 7 years investigated. Conclusion The findings reveal the general existence of SP-resistance markers on Bioko Island even after the replacement of SP as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria. Continuous molecular monitoring and additional control efforts in the region are urgently needed.

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to characterise glioblastomas of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) that were isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type (wt) and H3wt. Materials and Methods: Fifty such patients (aged 16–32) were studied by methylation profiling, targeted sequencing and targeted RNA‐seq. Results: Tumours predominantly clustered into three methylation classes according to the terminology of Capper et al. (2018): (anaplastic) pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) (21 cases), GBM_midline (15 cases) and glioblastoma RTK/mesenchymal (seven cases). Two cases clustered with ANA_PA, four cases with LGG classes and one with GBM_MYCN. Only fifteen cases reached a calibrated score >0.84 when the cases were uploaded to DKFZ Classifier. GBM_midline‐clustered tumours had a poorer overall survival (OS) compared with the PXA‐clustered tumours (p = 0.030). LGG‐clustered cases had a significantly better survival than GBM_midline‐clustered tumours and glioblastoma RTK/mesenchymal‐clustered tumours. Only 13/21 (62%) of PXA‐clustered cases were BRAF V600E mutated. Most GBM_midline‐clustered cases were not located in the midline. GBM_midline‐clustered cases were characterised by PDGFRA amplification/mutation (73.3%), mutations of mismatch repair genes (40.0%), and all showed H3K27me3 and EZH1P loss, and an unmethylated MGMT promoter. Across the whole cohort, MGMT promoter methylation and wt TERT promoter were favourable prognosticators. Mismatch repair gene mutations were poor prognosticators and together with methylation class and MGMT methylation, maintained their significance in multivariate analyses. BRAF mutation was a good prognosticator in the PXA‐clustered tumours. Conclusion: Methylation profiling is a useful tool in the diagnosis and prognostication of AYA glioblastomas, and the methylation classes have distinct molecular characteristics. The usual molecular diagnostic criteria for adult IDHwt glioblastoma should be applied with caution within the AYA age group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Cs+-K+ ion exchanges are performed on z-cut KTiOPO4 crystals with chromium coating covered. The temperature of ion exchange is 430°C, and the time range from 15min to 30 min. The dark mode spectra of the samples are measured by the prism coupling method. The channel structures on the samples are observed by a microscope and the near field pattern of the channel waveguides are measured by the end-fire coupling method. The refractive index of the samples increases and the increments at surface are modulated due to the existence of Cr film. In the region covered by Cr film, the refractive index of the samples at the surface increases dramatically in a shallow layer. The results of energy dispersive x-ray spectra indicate that in the region covered with Cr film, Cr ions participate in the ion exchange process, and enhance the refractive index. The results may provide a possibility that achieves index enhancement and Cr doping synchronically.

Abstract

The refractive index profiles of 3MeV O2+ ion-implanted planar waveguides in lithium niobate are reconstructed based on etching and ellipsometry techniques. SRIM2003 code is used to simulate the damage distribution in waveguide. It is demonstrated that the index profile of this kind of waveguide, extending to several micrometres in depth, can be determined by etching in combination with following ellipsometric measurements. A good agreement is found between the simulated damage distributions in waveguide and the index profiles based on experimental data, and the width of refractive index barrier is wider than the result of SRIM2003.

Abstract

Background: Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an essential enzyme that protects red blood cells from oxidative damage. Although G6PD‐deficient alleles appear to confer a protective effect of malaria, the link with clinical protection against Plasmodium infection is conflicting. Methods: A case–control study was conducted on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea and further genotyping analysis used to detect natural selection of the G6PD A‐ allele. Results: Our results showed G6PD A‐ allele could significantly reduce the risk of Plasmodium falciparum infection in male individuals (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20–0.93; p <.05) and homozygous female individuals (AOR, 0.11; 95% CI, 0.01–0.84; p <.05). Additionally, the parasite densities were significantly different in the individuals with different G6PD A‐ alleles and individual levels of G6PD enzyme activity. The pattern of linkage disequilibrium and results of the long‐range haplotype test revealed a strong selective signature in the region encompassing the G6PD A‐ allele over the past 6,250 years. The network of inferred haplotypes suggested a single origin of the G6PD A‐ allele in Africans. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) A‐ allele could reduce the risk of P. falciparum infection in the African population and indicate that malaria has a recent positive selection on G6PD A‐ allele.
