Abstract: Importance: Lip, oral, and pharyngeal cancers are important contributors to cancer burden worldwide, and a comprehensive evaluation of their burden globally, regionally, and nationally is crucial for effective policy planning. Objective: To analyze the total and risk-attributable burden of lip and oral cavity cancer (LOC) and other pharyngeal cancer (OPC) for 204 countries and territories and by Socio-demographic Index (SDI) using 2019 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) Study estimates. Evidence review: The incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to LOC and OPC from 1990 to 2019 were estimated using GBD 2019 methods. The GBD 2019 comparative risk assessment framework was used to estimate the proportion of deaths and DALYs for LOC and OPC attributable to smoking, tobacco, and alcohol consumption in 2019. Findings: In 2019, 370 000 (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 338 000–401 000) cases and 199 000 (95% UI, 181 000–217 000) deaths for LOC and 167 000 (95% UI, 153 000‐180 000) cases and 114 000 (95% UI, 103 000–126 000) deaths for OPC were estimated to occur globally, contributing 5.5 million (95% UI, 5.0‐6.0 million) and 3.2 million (95% UI, 2.9‐3.6 million) DALYs, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, low-middle and low SDI regions consistently showed the highest age-standardized mortality rates due to LOC and OPC, while the high SDI strata exhibited age-standardized incidence rates decreasing for LOC and increasing for OPC. Globally in 2019, smoking had the greatest contribution to risk-attributable OPC deaths for both sexes (55.8% [95% UI, 49.2%‐62.0%] of all OPC deaths in male individuals and 17.4% [95% UI, 13.8%‐21.2%] of all OPC deaths in female individuals). Smoking and alcohol both contributed to substantial LOC deaths globally among male individuals (42.3% [95% UI, 35.2%‐48.6%] and 40.2% [95% UI, 33.3%‐46.8%] of all risk-attributable cancer deaths, respectively), while chewing tobacco contributed to the

Abstract: BackgroundThe paradigm shift has caused in the treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) before the last decade [1]. The advent of high-dose MTX and biologics has maked it possible to treat RA with early and aggressive therapy, and prevent the joint destruction [2].ObjectivesTo aim of this study, we investigated the joint destruction and clinical outcomes in patients with early RA every 5 years in the last decade.Methods81 patients with early RA (within 1 year from their onset of RA) enrolled retrospectively in this study. The number of patients with early RA were 21 in 2009, 23 in 2014, and 37 in 2019, respectively. They had 17 males and 64 females. Mean age was 59 years (19-92) at the first visit to our department. The following items were investigated: age, disease duration from onset to consultation, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) positivity (positivity was defined as >4.5 U/ml), CRP, DAS28CRP4, medications, and modified total sharp score (mTSS) at the time of initial consultation and 1 year later. Kruskal-Wallis test was used for statistics (PASW 25 software, SPSS Institute Inc., Chicago, IL, USA, pResultsThe ACPA positivity rates were 71.4% (15/21) in 2009, 78.3% (18/21) in 2014, and 78.4% (29/37) in 2019, respectively. The mean value of DAS28CRP4 was 4.7 (2.4-6.8) in 2009, 4.2 (1.2-6.2) in 2014, and 4.2 (2.1-6.7) in 2019 at the time of the first visit to our department respectively. DAS28CRP4 under 2.6 was 29% (6/21) in 2009, 61% (14/23) in 2014, and 54% (20/37) in 2019 1 year after the first visit. The mean improvement of DAS28CRP4 (ΔDAS28CRP4) was -1.2 (-3.9 - 2.1) in 2009, -1.5 (-4.0 - 1.7) in 2014, and -1.7 (-4.1 - 0.4) in 2019, respectively. It had tended to improve gradually, however, it was not significantly different (p= 0.20, Figure 1).Figure 1.Mean value of improvement of mTSS and DAS28CRP4 (ΔmTSS and ΔDAS28CRP4) from initial visit to 1 year later at 2009, 2014 and 2019.The changing of mTSS for a year (ΔmTSS) was 4.2 (0-17) in 2009, 0.9 (0-10) in 2014, and 0.6 (0-4) in 2019, respectivly. ΔmTSS in 2014 and 2019 was significantly lower compared to that in 2009 (pOne year after the first visit to our department, the mean dose of MTX increased to 9.2 mg/week (2-14) in 2014 and 8.7 mg/week (4-16) in 2019 compared to 6.6 mg/week (2-8) in 2009 (p=0.19). The mean dose of PSL decreased 4.2 mg/day (1-8) in 2014, and 3.8 mg/day (1-10) in 2019 compared to 4.9 mg/day (2-10) in 2009, respectively (p=0.11). On the other hand, biological DMARDs were introduced in 24% (5/21) in 2009, 13% (3/23) in 2014, and 13% (1/37) in 2019, respectively.ConclusionJonit destruction has been already reported to begin in patients with early-stage of RA [1, 2]. Based on the results of this study, joint desctruction in early RA was decreased in the last decade, because of more early and aggressive therapy for early RA with increasing mean dose of MTX gradually, not biologic DMARDs in real world. In addition, the mean dose of PSL in 2014 and 2019 decreased compared to that in 2009. The intensive therapy for early RA at our hospital has shown the improvement of joint destruction in the last decade.References[1]Emery P, Breedveld FC, Dougados M, et al.

Abstract: BackgroundThe pharmacotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has changed dramatically and caused a paradigm shift with the advent of methotrexate (MTX) and biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs).Before the paradigm shift of RA therapy, the frequency of carpal collapse was high in patients with RA.It has been reported that certain numbers of patients with RA rapidly advance the destruction of the carpal bones during the early onset in the natural course of it [1].Another report showed that hand function was positively correlated with disease activity[2]In Japan, bDMARDs were approved in 2003, and the maximum allowable dose of MTX was raised from 8 mg/week to 12 mg/week in 2012.We hypothesize early aggressive therapy for the patients with early RA may have improved outcomes of carpal bone destruction in this last decade.In this study, we investigated the change of drug therapy and carpal height ratio (CHR) in patients with early RA in the last decade.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate CHR and drugs for the patients with early RA who developed it and started the therapy in 2009, 2014, and 2019.MethodsPatients with early RA diagnosed in our department in 2009, 2014, and 2019 were included in the study.The CHR was measured at the first visit and two years later on radiographs of both hands.The drug history for RA was obtained in the medical records retrospectively.All statistical analyses were performed with EZR version 1.55.ResultsThis study included 43 cases (36 females, 7 males). The number of cases in 2009, 2014, and 2019 was 16, 13, and 14, respectively.The mean age at the time of initial examination was 55 years (30-72).There was no significant difference in the mean value of DAS28-CRP at the time of the first visit in each year.The left hand CHR of initial diagnosis was 0.554 (0.484-0.632), 0.551 (0.490-0.618), and 0.567 (0.517-0.632) in 2009, 2014, and 2019, respectively, with no significant difference.Two years later, the left-hand CHR was 0.541 (0.475-0.651), 0.549 (0.502-0.617), and 0.562 (0.528-0.591), respectively, with no significant difference.There was also no significant difference in the amount of change.The right hand CHR of initial diagnosis was 0.525 (0.475-0.607), 0.539 (0.459-0.589), and 0.557 (0.506-0.635) in 2009, 2014, and 2019, respectively, with no significant difference.Two years later, the right-hand CHR was 0.532 (0.444-0.627), 0.529 (0.478-0.588), and 0.548 (0.491-0.593), respectively, with no significant difference.There was also no significant difference in the amount of change.The DAS28-CRP of initial diagnosis for cases in 2009, 2014, and 2019 was 4.68 (3.11-6.83), 4.19 (1.21-6.15), and 4.23 (2.41-6.38), respectively.The DAS28-CRP at 2 years after treatment for cases in 2009, 2014, and 2019 was 2.12 (0.96-3.60), 2.25 (1.13-4.81), and 2.04 (0.99-3.45), respectively.Although DAS28-CRP was improved, there was no significance among the three groups.The usage rate of MTX was 56.3% in 2009, 76.9% in 2014, and 50% in 2019, with mean doses of 6.2 mg (2-8 mg), 8.6 mg (4-12 mg), and 9.1 mg (4-16 mg), respectively. There was no significant difference in the rate and dosage of MTX use in each year.bDMARDs were used in one case in 2009, two cases in 2014, and one case in 2019.ConclusionIn this study, DAS28-CRP showed a trend of improvement in this decade, but there was no obvious improvement in the progression of carpal collapse.Further early aggressive therapy may be necessary to prevent the destruction of the carpal bones.References[1]Ochi T, Iwase R, Yonemasu K, Matsukawa M, Yoneda M, Yukioka M, et al.

Abstract: Background: Universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an essential human right, recognised in the Sustainable Development Goals as crucial for preventing disease and improving human wellbeing. Comprehensive, high-resolution estimates are important to inform progress towards achieving this goal. We aimed to produce high-resolution geospatial estimates of access to drinking water and sanitation facilities. Methods: We used a Bayesian geostatistical model and data from 600 sources across more than 88 low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) to estimate access to drinking water and sanitation facilities on continuous continent-wide surfaces from 2000 to 2017, and aggregated results to policy-relevant administrative units. We estimated mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive subcategories of facilities for drinking water (piped water on or off premises, other improved facilities, unimproved, and surface water) and sanitation facilities (septic or sewer sanitation, other improved, unimproved, and open defecation) with use of ordinal regression. We also estimated the number of diarrhoeal deaths in children younger than 5 years attributed to unsafe facilities and estimated deaths that were averted by increased access to safe facilities in 2017, and analysed geographical inequality in access within LMICs. Findings: Across LMICs, access to both piped water and improved water overall increased between 2000 and 2017, with progress varying spatially. For piped water, the safest water facility type, access increased from 40·0% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 39·4–40·7) to 50·3% (50·0–50·5), but was lowest in sub-Saharan Africa, where access to piped water was mostly concentrated in urban centres. Access to both sewer or septic sanitation and improved sanitation overall also increased across all LMICs during the study period. For sewer or septic sanitation, access was 46·3% (95% UI 46·1–46·5) in 2017, compared with 28·7% (28·5–29·0)

Abstract: Background: Accurate and up-to-date assessment of demographic metrics is crucial for understanding a wide range of social, economic, and public health issues that affect populations worldwide. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 produced updated and comprehensive demographic assessments of the key indicators of fertility, mortality, migration, and population for 204 countries and territories and selected subnational locations from 1950 to 2019. Methods: 8078 country-years of vital registration and sample registration data, 938 surveys, 349 censuses, and 238 other sources were identified and used to estimate age-specific fertility. Spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression (ST-GPR) was used to generate age-specific fertility rates for 5-year age groups between ages 15 and 49 years. With extensions to age groups 10–14 and 50–54 years, the total fertility rate (TFR) was then aggregated using the estimated age-specific fertility between ages 10 and 54 years. 7417 sources were used for under-5 mortality estimation and 7355 for adult mortality. ST-GPR was used to synthesise data sources after correction for known biases. Adult mortality was measured as the probability of death between ages 15 and 60 years based on vital registration, sample registration, and sibling histories, and was also estimated using ST-GPR. HIV-free life tables were then estimated using estimates of under-5 and adult mortality rates using a relational model life table system created for GBD, which closely tracks observed age-specific mortality rates from complete vital registration when available. Independent estimates of HIV-specific mortality generated by an epidemiological analysis of HIV prevalence surveys and antenatal clinic serosurveillance and other sources were incorporated into the estimates in countries with large epidemics. Annual and single-year age estimates of net migration and population for each country and territory were generated us

Abstract: Background: Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a form of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for diarrhoea that has the potential to drastically reduce child mortality; yet, according to UNICEF estimates, less than half of children younger than 5 years with diarrhoea in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) received ORS in 2016. A variety of recommended home fluids (RHF) exist as alternative forms of ORT; however, it is unclear whether RHF prevent child mortality. Previous studies have shown considerable variation between countries in ORS and RHF use, but subnational variation is unknown. This study aims to produce high-resolution geospatial estimates of relative and absolute coverage of ORS, RHF, and ORT (use of either ORS or RHF) in LMICs. Methods: We used a Bayesian geostatistical model including 15 spatial covariates and data from 385 household surveys across 94 LMICs to estimate annual proportions of children younger than 5 years of age with diarrhoea who received ORS or RHF (or both) on continuous continent-wide surfaces in 2000–17, and aggregated results to policy-relevant administrative units. Additionally, we analysed geographical inequality in coverage across administrative units and estimated the number of diarrhoeal deaths averted by increased coverage over the study period. Uncertainty in the mean coverage estimates was calculated by taking 250 draws from the posterior joint distribution of the model and creating uncertainty intervals (UIs) with the 2·5th and 97·5th percentiles of those 250 draws. Findings: While ORS use among children with diarrhoea increased in some countries from 2000 to 2017, coverage remained below 50% in the majority (62·6%; 12 417 of 19 823) of second administrative-level units and an estimated 6 519 000 children (95% UI 5 254 000–7 733 000) with diarrhoea were not treated with any form of ORT in 2017. Increases in ORS use corresponded with declines in RHF in many locations, resulting in relatively constant overall O

Abstract: Abstract Lorentz symmetry forbids decays of massive spin-1 particle like the Z 0 into two massless photons, a result known as the Landau-Yang theorem. But it is known that infrared effects can break Lorentz invariance. Employing the construction of Mund et al. [1] which incorporated this Lorentz violation, we propose an interaction leading to the decay Z 0 → 2γ and study the dependence of the decay on the parameter of this Lorentz violation.

Abstract: Trypanosoma evansi and Trypanosoma vivax are the most extensively distributed trypanosomes responsible for diseases in livestock. Western blot and indirect immunofluorescence assays revealed a high immunological cross-reaction between these two parasites. An antigen with an apparent molecular mass of 64 kDa (p64), which exhibited cross-reactivity with T. vivax, was purified to homogeneity from a Venezuelan isolate of T. evansi. This antigen is glycosylated, contains a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor and appeared to be localized through the cell except in the nucleus, indicating that it could primarily be confined to the parasite surface. These results, together with its relative abundance and apparent molecular weight, suggest that p64 probably corresponds to the soluble form of a variable surface glycoprotein from T. evansi. Anti-p64 polyclonal antibodies, raised on mice, recognized a 53 kDa polypeptide band from a Venezuelan isolate of T. vivax on Western blots. Additionally, sera obtained from naturally infected animals also recognized p64, suggesting its potential use as a diagnostic reagent. Mild acid treatment only slightly decreased the immunorecognition of p64, suggesting its potential use as a diagnostic reagent. Mild acid treatment only slightly decreased the immunorecognition of p64, demonstrating that another relevant cross-reacting epitope, different than the inositol-1,2-cyclic phosphate of the cross-reacting determinant, must exist in p64. To date, p64 represents the first antigen isolated and partially characterized from T. evansi.

Abstract: Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is characterized by massive infiltration of circulating ATL cells into a variety of tissues, a finding often associated with poor prognosis. Leukocyte migration from circulation into tissue depends on integrin-mediated adhesion to endothelium, and integrins are tightly regulated by several stimuli, such as inflammatory chemokines. However, the exact mechanisms that enhance adherence of leukemic cells to the endothelium and infiltration into tissues remain to be fully understood. We investigated the mechanisms of extravasation of leukemic cells using ATL cells and report the following novel features of endogenous chemokine-induced adhesion of ATL cells to the endothelium. ATL cells spontaneously adhered to endothelial cells without exogenous stimulation. Integrin leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) on ATL cells was spontaneously activated. ATL cells produced high amounts of chemokines, macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), and MIP-1β. Adhesion of ATL cells to endothelial cells and the expression of activated form of LFA-1 were reduced by pretreatment with pertussis toxin, wortmannin, or anti–MIP-1α and MIP-1β antibodies or transfection with antisense of MIP-1α or MIP-1β. Spontaneous polymerization of cytoskeletal F-actin was observed in ATL cells, which was also inhibited by pertussis toxin and wortmannin. We propose that ATL cells adhere to endothelial cells through an adhesion cascade similar to normal leukocytes and that the chemokines produced by ATL cells are involved in triggering integrin LFA-1 through cytoskeletal rearrangement induced by G-protein–dependent activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinases in an autocrine manner. These events result in a strong adhesion of ATL cells to the endothelium and spontaneous transendothelial migration.

Abstract: Este trabajo describe cualitativamente y analiza cuantitativamente las variaciones ultraestructurales de la glándula adrenal de ratones durante el desarrollo de infecciones murinas experimentales por dos aislados venezolanos de Trypanosoma evansi, uno proveniente de asno y otro de caballo. Las modificaciones submicroscópicas observadas incluyeron alteraciones en el retículo endoplasmático liso, mitocondrias, gotas lipídicas, aparato de Golgi y núcleo. También se apreciaron alteraciones en el número de vesículas de epinefrina, norepinefrina, gránulos de lipofucsina y presencia singular de figuras mielínicas. Estos cambios ultraestructurales estarían asociados a problemas metabólicos que inducirían la muerte de los animales infectados. El estudio cuantitativo demostró diferencias significativas en las características y las magnitudes del daño causado por ambos aislados, siendo el tripanosoma proveniente de caballo más patogénico. El análisis multivariante de los cambios submicroscópicos discriminó la acción patogénica en la glándula adrenal de tripanosomas de la misma especie que provienen de hábitats diferentes (Equus asinus y E. caballus) y de zonas geográficas distintas (estado Apure y estado Guárico). This work describes qualitatively and analyzes quantitatively the ultrastructural variations of the mice adrenal gland during the development of murine experimental infections by two Venezuelan isolates of Trypanosoma evansi, one de rived from a donkey and another from a horse. The submicroscopic modifications included modifications in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lipid droplets, Golgi apparatus, and nucleus. Alterations in the number of epinephrine, norepinephrine vesicles, and lipofuscin granules and singular myelin-like figures were also observed. Such ultrastructural changes would be associated to metabolic problems including the infected animal’s death. The quantitative study demonstrated significant differences in the characteristics and magnitude of the damage caused by both isolates, being more pathogenic the horse derived trypanosome. The multivariate analysis of the submicroscopic changes discriminated the pathogenic action of trypanosomes of the same species coming from different habitats (Equus asinus and E. caballus) and different geographic zones (Apure state and Guarico state) in the adrenal gland.

19. Asymptotic freedom and higher derivative gauge theories

Author: M. Asorey, F. Falceto, and L. Rachwał
Subjects: Renormalization Group, Renormalization Regularization and Renormalons, Nuclear and particle physics. Atomic energy. Radioactivity, QC770-798
Abstract: Abstract The ultraviolet completion of gauge theories by higher derivative terms can dramatically change their behavior at high energies. The requirement of asymptotic freedom imposes very stringent constraints that are only satisfied by a small family of higher derivative theories. If the number of derivatives is large enough (n > 4) the theory is strongly interacting both at extreme infrared and ultraviolet regimes whereas it remains asymptotically free for a low number of extra derivatives (n ⩽ 4). In all cases the theory improves its ultraviolet behavior leading in some cases to ultraviolet finite theories with vanishing β-function. The usual consistency problems associated to the presence of extra ghosts in higher derivative theories may not harm asymptotically free theories because in that case the effective masses of such ghosts are running to infinity in the ultraviolet limit.

Abstract: This paper presents a time-varying Kalman filter that combines the measurements from four different lateral deviation sensors to produce a reliable prediction of lateral vehicle dynamics state for automated steering. The measurement noises used in the filter vary continuously according to a reliability index, which itself is a function of individual sensor capabilities and the current driving environment. The reliability index is continuously varying and differs from previous work that simply changes the source of the lateral deviation measurement for the filter according to the reliability index. The practicality of the prediction method is shown through the implementation on a test vehicle.

Abstract: We develop the intelligent multimode transit system (IMTS), as a new transit system, which uses platooning of automated driving buses. This paper describes the steering control of an automated bus for IMTS. It is confirmed in the experiments that the feedforward controller and the linear quadratic integral feedback controller designed have good performance of lane following both on a curve and a straight course. The feedforward steering angle and the desired states of the feedback controller are calculated by using road geometry, vehicle characteristics and velocity, assuming steady state turning of the vehicle. The road geometry map used by the vehicle is constructed according to the design of the road. The state variables for feedback are estimated by means of a hybrid Kalman filter. The hybrid Kalman filter provides accurate estimation at low speed even when using discrete reference markers for the measurement of vehicle's lateral deviation.

Abstract: Abstract The effect of supercritical charge impurities in graphene is very similar to the supercritical atomic collapses in QED for Z > 137, but with a much lower critical charge. In this sense graphene can be considered as a natural testing ground for the analysis of quantum field theory vacuum instabilities. We analyze the quantum transition from subcritical to supercritical charge regimes in gapped graphene in a common framework that preserves unitarity for any value of charge impurities. In the supercritical regime it is possible to introduce boundary conditions which control the singular behavior at the impurity. We show that for subcritical charges there are also non-trivial boundary conditions which are similar to those that appear in QED for nuclei in the intermediate regime 118 < Z < 137. We analyze the behavior of the energy levels associated to the different boundary conditions. In particular, we point out the existence of new bound states in the subcritical regime which include a negative energy bound state in the attractive Coulomb regime. A remarkable property is the continuity of the energy spectral flow under variation of the impurity charge even when jumping across the critical charge transition. We also remark that the energy levels of hydrogenoid bound states at critical values of charge impurities act as focal points of the spectral flow.

Abstract: Aim: A study was conducted to evaluate the ameliorative potential of homeopathic drugs in combination (Sulfur 30C, Thuja 30C, Graphites 30C, and Psorinum 30C) in 16 dogs affected with oral papillomatosis which was not undergone any previous treatment. Materials and Methods: Dogs affected with oral papillomatosis, which have not undergone any initial treatment and fed with a regular diet. Dogs (total=16) were randomly divided into two groups, namely, homeopathic treatment group (n=8) and placebo control group (n=8). Random number table was used for allocation. Homeopathic combination of drugs and placebo drug (distilled water) was administered orally twice daily for 15 days. Clinical evaluation in both groups of dogs was performed by the same investigator throughout the period of study (12 months). Dogs were clinically scored for oral lesions on days 0, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 150 after initiation of treatment. Results: The homeopathic treatment group showed early recovery with a significant reduction in oral lesions reflected by clinical score (p

30. Morphine metabolism in the opium poppy and its possible physiological function. Biochemical characterization of the morphine metabolite, bismorphine

Subjects: Morphine Derivatives, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Plants, Medicinal, Carbohydrate Sequence, Morphine, Polysaccharides, Molecular Sequence Data, Papaver
Abstract: We identified a novel metabolic system of morphine in the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.). In response to stress, morphine is quickly metabolized to bismorphine consisting of two morphine units, followed by accumulation in the cell wall. This bismorphine binds predominantly to pectins, which possess high galacturonic acid residue contents, through ionical bonds. Our newly developed method using artificial polysaccharides demonstrated that bismorphine bridges are formed between the two amino groups of bismorphine and the carboxyl groups of galacturonic acid residues, resulting in cross-linking of galacturonic acid-containing polysaccharides to each other. The ability of bismorphine to cross-link pectins is much higher than that of Ca2+, which also acts as a cross-linker of these polysaccharides. Furthermore, we confirmed that cross-linking of pectins through bismorphine bridges leads to resistance against hydrolysis by pectinases. These results indicated that production of bismorphine is a defense response of the opium poppy. Bismorphine formation is catalyzed by anionic peroxidase that pre-exists in the capsules and leaves of opium poppies. The constitutive presence of morphine, together with bismorphine-forming peroxidase, enables the opium poppy to rapidly induce the defense system.

Abstract: We report an extremely rare case of primary ileal plasmacytoma accompanied by mixed low- and high-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. The radiographic and macroscopic features of the tumor were characterized by two constricting lesions in the ileum. Histologic examination of the resected specimen showed that one constrictive lesion was plasmacytoma and the other MALT lymphoma was low and high grade. The plasmacytoma seemed to have differentiated from the MALT lymphoma.

Abstract: Recruitment of neutrophils into tissue occurs in several pathologic processes such as inflammation, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and ischemia. In inflammation, the adherence of neutrophils to the endothelium depends on neutrophil integrins. Integrin-mediated adhesion is tightly regulated, ie, integrins do not function if neutrophils are not triggered by certain activation stimuli. We investigated the role of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the adhesion of neutrophils to endothelial cells in inflammation. Our results showed that (a) HGF induced not only lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1)-mediated adhesion of neutrophils to endothelial cells but also transmigration of neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner; (b) HGF functionally transformed neutrophil integrin LFA-1 to active form and reduced surface L-selectin expression level; (c) HGF induced F-actin polymerization and cytoskeletal rearrangement within seconds; (d) genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as well as wortmannin, a phosphoinositide 3 (PI 3)-kinase inhibitor, inhibited both F-actin polymerization and LFA-1-mediated adhesion of neutrophils to endothelial cells; and (e) neutrophils in cutaneous inflamed tissue highly expressed HGF and serum levels of HGF were elevated in patients with Behçet's disease, which is associated with neutrophilic vasculitis and marked neutrophil accumulation. Our results indicate that HGF plays a pivotal role in integrin-mediated adhesion and transmigration of neutrophils to sites of acute inflammation through cytoskeletal rearrangement activated by tyrosine kinase and PI 3-kinase signaling.

Abstract: Mastitis, an inflammation of the udder, is a challenging problem in dairy animals accounting for high economic losses. Disease complexity, degree of economic losses and increasing importance of the dairy industries along with public health concerns envisages devising appropriate diagnostics of mastitis, which can offer rapid, accurate and confirmatory diagnosis. The various diagnostic tests of mastitis have been divided into general or phenotypic and specific or genotypic tests. General or phenotypic tests are those that identify general alterations, which are not specific to any pathogen. Genotypic tests are specific, hence confirmatory for diagnosis of mastitis and include specific culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its various versions (e.g. qRT-PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification, lateral flow assays, nucleotide sequencing, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and other molecular diagnostic methods. However, for highly specific and confirmatory diagnosis, pure cultures still provide raw materials for more sophisticated diagnostic technological interventions like PCR and nucleotide sequencing. Diagnostic ability of like infra-red thermography (IRT) has been shown to be similar to California mastitis test and also differentiates clinical mastitis from subclinical mastitis cases. As such, IRT can become a convenient and portable diagnostic tool. Of note, magnetic nanoparticles-based colorimetric biosensor assay was developed by using for instance proteolytic activity of plasmin or anti-S. aureus antibody. Last but not least, microRNAs have been suggested to be potential biomarkers for diagnosing bovine mastitis. This review summarizes the various diagnostic tests available for detection of mastitis including diagnosis through general and specific technological interventions and advances.

39. HIV Knowledge and Preferences for HIV Prevention Among Older Adults Living in the Community

Author: Tracy E. K. Davis PhD and M. Asope Elder MD, MHA
Subjects: Geriatrics, RC952-954.6
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore HIV/AIDS knowledge, perceived HIV susceptibility and severity, as well as barriers and facilitators to HIV prevention in primary care settings. Data were collected through both survey and semi-structured interviews. A total of 145 adults over the age of 50 participated in the study. We found that most older adults are willing to have discussions about HIV with their health care provider, however, they are waiting for their provider to broch the topic. The study findings also indicate that older adults need additional education regarding HIV/AIDS, particularly older adults need education about methods of transmission of HIV. Based on the results of this study, it is clear that changes to HIV-related policies and practices must take place to facilitate HIV prevention in primary care settings for older adults.

40. Entangled scent of a charge

Subjects: Anomalies in Field and String Theories, Gauge Symmetry, Space-Time Symmetries, Nonperturbative Effects, Nuclear and particle physics. Atomic energy. Radioactivity, QC770-798
Abstract: Abstract We argue that the ground state of a field theory, in the presence of charged particles, becomes an entangled state involving an infinity of soft photons. The quantum field vacuum is altered by the passage of a uniformly moving charge, leaving in its wake a different dressed ground state. In this sense a charged particle leaves its electromagnetic scent even after passing by. Unlike in classical electrodynamics the effect of the charge remains even at infinite time. The calculation is done in detail for the ground state of a spacetime wedge, although the results are more general. This agrees in spirit with recent results over the infrared aspects of field theory, although the technical details are different. These considerations open the possibility that the information carried by quantum fields, being nonlocal, does not disappear beyond the horizon of black holes.

41. Equations of motion as constraints: superselection rules, Ward identities

Subjects: Gauge Symmetry, Space-Time Symmetries, Nonperturbative Effects, Nuclear and particle physics. Atomic energy. Radioactivity, QC770-798
Abstract: Abstract The meaning of local observables is poorly understood in gauge theories, not to speak of quantum gravity. As a step towards a better understanding we study asymptotic (infrared) transformations in local quantum physics. Our observables are smeared by test functions, at first vanishing at infinity. In this context we show that the equations of motion can be seen as constraints, which generate a group, the group of space and time dependent gauge transformations. This is one of the main points of the paper. Infrared nontrivial effects are captured allowing test functions which do not vanish at infinity. These extended operators generate a larger group. The quotient of the two groups generate superselection sectors, which differentiate different infrared sectors. The BMS group changes the super-selection sector, a result long known for its Lorentz subgroup. It is hence spontaneously broken. Ward identities implied by the gauge invariance of the S-matrix generalize the standard results and lead to charge conservation and low energy theorems. Their validity does not require Lorentz invariance.

Abstract: Duck virus enteritis (DVE), also called duck plague, is one of the major contagious and fatal diseases of ducks, geese and swan. It is caused by duck enteritis virus (DEV)/Anatid herpesvirus-1 of the genus Mardivirus, family Herpesviridae, and subfamily Alpha-herpesvirinae. Of note, DVE has worldwide distribution, wherein migratory waterfowl plays a crucial role in its transmission within and between continents. Furthermore, horizontal and/ or vertical transmission plays a significant role in disease spread through oral-fecal discharges. Either of sexes from varying age groups of ducks is vulnerable to DVE. The disease is characterized by sudden death, vascular damage and subsequent internal hemorrhage, lesions in lymphoid organs, digestive mucosal eruptions, severe diarrhea and degenerative lesions in parenchymatous organs. Huge economic losses are connected with acute nature of the disease, increased morbidity and mortality (5%–100%), condemnations of carcasses, decreased egg production and hatchability. Although clinical manifestations and histopathology can provide preliminary diagnosis, the confirmatory diagnosis involves virus isolation and detection using serological and molecular tests. For prophylaxis, both live-attenuated and killed vaccines are being used in broiler and breeder ducks above 2 weeks of age. Since DEV is capable of becoming latent as well as shed intermittently, recombinant subunit and DNA vaccines either alone or in combination (polyvalent) are being targeted for its benign prevention. This review describes DEV, epidemiology, transmission, the disease (DVE), pathogenesis, and advances in diagnosis, vaccination and antiviral agents/therapies along with appropriate prevention and control strategies.

Subjects: Turkey, haemorrhagic enteritis virus, pathobiology, diagnosis, vaccine, control, review, Veterinary medicine, SF600-1100
Abstract: Haemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV), an adenovirus associated with acute haemorrhagic gastro-intestinal disease of 6–11-week old turkeys predominantly hampers both humoral and cellular immunity. Affected birds are more prone to secondary complications (e.g. colibacillosis and clostridiosis) and failure to mount an effective vaccine-induced immune response. HEV belongs to the new genus Siadenovirus. Feco-oral transmission is the main route of entry of the virus and it mainly colonizes bursa, intestine and spleen. Both naturally occurring virulent and avirulent strains of HEVs are serologically indistinguishable. Recent findings revealed that ORF1, E3 and fib genes are the key factors affecting virulence. The adoption of suitable diagnostic tools, proper vaccination and biosecurity measures have restrained the occurrence of disease epidemics. For diagnostic purposes, the best source of HEV is either intestinal contents or samples from spleen. For rapid detection highly sensitive and specific tests such as quantitative real-time PCR based on Taq man probe has been designed. Avirulent strains of HEV or MSDV can be effectively used as live vaccines. Novel vaccines include recombinant hexon protein-based subunit vaccines or recombinant virus-vectored vaccines using fowl poxvirus (FPV) expressing the native hexon of HEV. Notably, subunit vaccines and recombinant virus vectored vaccines altogether offer high protection against challenge or field viruses. Herein, we converse a comprehensive analysis of the HEV genetics, disease pathobiology, advancements in diagnosis and vaccination along with appropriate prevention and control strategies.

Abstract: A monoclonal antibody to the Schwann cell associated antigen (AHMY1) and a monoclonal antibody to neurofilament proteins (NFP) (AHNF1) each were produced. Using AHMY1, AHNF1, and anti-S-100 antibody, 90 pigmented nevi were examined immunohistochemically to clarify the relationship between nevus cells and Schwann cells. All nevus cells had S-100 protein, but did not have neurofilament proteins. The nevic corpuscle and Type C nevus cell were positively stained with AHMY1 indicating the presence of the Schwann cell associated antigen, while Type A and B nevus cells were entirely negative. This suggests that the nevic corpuscle and Type C nevus cell are closely related to the Schwann cell and differ from Type A and B nevus cells in their development.
