SignificanceEosinophils contribute to type 2 immunity against helminths and allergens. The small intestine harbors eosinophils with incompletely understood pathophysiological roles. Here, we show that intestinal eosinophils include two subsets. One expresses the inhibitory receptor Clec4a4 and the inhibitory ligand PD-L1 and is unique to the small intestine; the other manifests a proinflammatory phenotype. Both subsets are blood derived. Remarkably, Clec4a4

Open Access Publications

BACKGROUND: Cancer mortality rates in the United States are higher in rural than urban areas, especially for colorectal cancer. Modifiable cancer risks (e.g., tobacco use, obesity) are more prevalent among U.S. rural than urban residents. Social network analyses are common, yet rural informal collaborative networks for cancer prevention and control and practitioner uses of network findings are less well understood.

METHODS: In five service areas in rural Missouri and Illinois, we conducted a network survey of informal multisector networks among agencies that address cancer risk (N = 152 individuals). The survey asked about contact, collaborative activities, and referrals. We calculated …

Access To Services From Persons With Disabilities In Afghanistan: Is Community Based Rehabilitation Making A Difference?, Jean-Francois Trani, Kyle A Pitzer, Juanita Vasquez Escallon, Parul Bakhshi

Open Access Publications

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), ratified in 2006, states that the achievement of equal rights, empowerment, and social inclusion of people with disabilities requires comprehensive rehabilitation services involving educational, social, economic, and medical interventions, all dimensions of the World Health Organization Community based rehabilitation (CBR) matrix. CBR programs aim at achieving those goals. In the present study, we investigated whether a large scale CBR program is improving access to multiple services (namely physical therapy, assistive technology, education, employment, advocacy, and community awareness) and providing satisfactions (by measuring the reduction in unmet needs) of …

Open Access Publications

INTRODUCTION: Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is a well-known orthopaedic manifestation in patients with myelomeningocele. The rib-based growing system (RBGS) has been proposed as an alternative for these individuals because of the poor outcomes with traditional surgical techniques. We aimed to describe the effect of RBGS in patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele.

METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the Pediatric Spine Study Group Multicenter Database for all patients with nonambulatory EOS myelomeningocele treated with RBGS from 2004 to 2019. Demographics, surgical data, radiographic findings, and postoperative complications were obtained. The quality-of-life parameters were assessed postoperatively using the Early-onset Scoliosis Questionnaire-24.

Adherence Enables Neisseria Gonorrhoeae To Overcome Zinc Limitation Imposed By Nutritional Immunity Proteins, Jocelyn C Ray, Asya Smirnov, Stavros A Maurakis, Simone A Harrison, Eugene Ke, Walter J Chazin, Cynthia Nau Cornelissen, Alison K Criss

Open Access Publications

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gc) must overcome the limitation of metals such as zinc to colonize mucosal surfaces in its obligate human host. While the zinc-binding nutritional immunity proteins calprotectin (S100A8/A9) and psoriasin (S100A7) are abundant in human cervicovaginal lavage fluid, Gc possesses TonB-dependent transporters TdfH and TdfJ that bind and extract zinc from the human version of these proteins, respectively. Here we investigated the contribution of zinc acquisition to Gc infection of epithelial cells of the female genital tract. We found that TdfH and TdfJ were dispensable for survival of strain FA1090 Gc that was associated with Ect1 human immortalized epithelial …

Macrophage Global Metabolomics Identifies Cholestenone As Host/Pathogen Cometabolite Present In Human Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection, Pallavi Chandra, Héloise Coullon, Mansi Agarwal, Charles W Goss, Jennifer A Philips

Open Access Publications

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) causes an enormous burden of disease worldwide. As a central aspect of its pathogenesis, M. tuberculosis grows in macrophages, and host and microbe influence each other's metabolism. To define the metabolic impact of M. tuberculosis infection, we performed global metabolic profiling of M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages. M. tuberculosis induced metabolic hallmarks of inflammatory macrophages and a prominent signature of cholesterol metabolism. We found that infected macrophages accumulate cholestenone, a mycobacterial-derived, oxidized derivative of cholesterol. We demonstrated that the accumulation of cholestenone in infected macrophages depended on the M. tuberculosis enzyme 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-Hsd) and correlated with pathogen …

Measurement Matters: An Individual Differences Examination Of Family Socioeconomic Factors, Latent Dimensions Of Children's Experiences, And Resting State Functional Brain Connectivity In The Abcd Sample, Meriah L Dejoseph, Max P Herzberg, Robin D Sifre, Daniel Berry, Kathleen M Thomas

Open Access Publications

The variation in experiences between high and low-socioeconomic status contexts are posited to play a crucial role in shaping the developing brain and may explain differences in child outcomes. Yet, examinations of SES and brain development have largely been limited to distal proxies of these experiences (e.g., income comparisons). The current study sought to disentangle the effects of multiple socioeconomic indices and dimensions of more proximal experiences on resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in a sample of 7834 youth (aged 9-10 years) from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. We applied moderated nonlinear factor analysis (MNLFA) to establish measurement invariance …

Post-Hpv-Vaccination Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: Possible Vaccine-Triggered Escalation Of Undiagnosed Pre-Existing Mast Cell Disease?, Lawrence B Afrin, Tania T Dempsey, Leonard B Weinstock

Open Access Publications

For nearly a decade, case reports and series have emerged regarding dysautonomias-particularly postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)-presenting soon after vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV). We too have observed a number of such cases (all following vaccination with the Gardasil product), and have found several to have detectable mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) as well as histories suggesting that MCAS was likely present long before vaccination. We detail 11 such cases here, posing a hypothesis that HPV vaccination (at least with the Gardasil product) may have triggered or exacerbated MCAS in teenagers previously not recognized to have it. Only recently …
