Microbial dysbiosis has been linked to environmental enteropathy (EE) and alterations in nutrient absorption; however, compositional modifications following exposure to supplementary nutrients are poorly understood. Here, we report the effect of amino acid and micronutrient supplementation on the gut microbiome of adults with EE. In the AMAZE trial, adults with EE were randomized to amino acids (AA) and/or micronutrients (MM) for 16 weeks in a 2 × 2 factorial design against placebo. Endoscopy was performed before and after intervention, during which duodenal aspirates were collected as well as fecal samples. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was performed on both these samples, …

BACKGROUND: Readmission following endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (EETS) for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) and other sellar pathology is most commonly due to delayed hyponatremia. Studies suggest postoperative fluid restriction (FR) reduces delayed hyponatremia. We present a prospective randomized controlled study evaluating post-EETS FR.
METHODS: 300 participants were scheduled for EETS (2016-2023) at a single institution. Patients with CKD, CHF, arginine vasopressin deficiency on postoperative day (POD) 3, chronic hyponatremia, and untreated adrenal insufficiency or hypothyroidism were excluded. Groups included control (ad-lib, n = 94), moderate FR (1.8 L/day or 2 L/day weight > 100 kg, n = 39), and strict FR …

BACKGROUND: Unsupervised cognitive assessments are becoming commonly used in studies of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. As assessments are completed in everyday environments and without a proctor, there are concerns about how common distractions may impact performance and whether these distractions may differentially impact those experiencing the earliest symptoms of dementia.
OBJECTIVE: We examined the impact of self-reported interruptions, testing location, and social context during testing on remote cognitive assessments in older adults.
METHODS: Participants from the Ambulatory Research in Cognition smartphone study were classified as cognitively normal (n=380) or as having very mild dementia (n=37). Participants completed daily tests of …

Histone H2B contains a highly conserved C-terminal (H2B αC) helix that has been implicated in chromatin interactions and dynamics. The H2B αC helix comprising residues 105-125 is positioned adjacent to a major site of nucleosome interactions called the acidic patch. Despite individual structural studies highlighting interactions between chromatin proteins and the H2B αC helix, the general role of the helix in mediating nucleosome recognition has not been explored. Moreover, many post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been identified within the H2B αC helix, but significant gaps exist in our understanding of their regulatory potential. In this study, we employed nucleosome affinity proteomics …

Preconditioning regimens are essential for the immunologic success of cell therapies like CAR T cells. Nevertheless, their effect on cancer vaccines is underexplored, and preconditioning regimens are generally absent from cancer vaccine clinical trials. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated the impact of various preconditioning strategies on dendritic cell (DC) vaccine efficacy in a murine tumor model. Mice bearing syngeneic tumors received preconditioning with 2 Gy low-dose radiation therapy (LD RT; whole-body or tumor-only), cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, LD RT plus cyclophosphamide, or no preconditioning, followed by administration of antigen-loaded DCs. Whether whole-body or tumor-directed, LD RT preconditioning significantly enhanced vaccine-induced …

Radiation exposure is a well-established risk factor for leukemia. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), the expansion of mutated hematopoietic cells, is also associated with increased leukemia risk and its frequency is higher in cancer patients following radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We investigated whether low to moderate environmental ionizing radiation determined by state-of-the-art dosimetric analysis was associated with CH in the Chornobyl Family Study (CFS). Our study conducted targeted high-depth sequencing and array genotyping to identify and characterize clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) in 882 participants from 292 CFS families. Fathers had mean bone marrow radiation doses of …

BACKGROUND: Spectrophotometric testing to detect sample hemolysis is available from central laboratory chemistry analyzers. While the cause and preventative measures are known, hemolysis continues to be a common preanalytical error, especially for specimens collected from the emergency department (ED) and intensive care units (ICUs) where point-of-care analyzers are commonly used for whole blood electrolyte testing. Recently, these analyzers have employed technology to detect hemolysis directly on whole blood samples.
METHODS: Experienced laboratorians and physicians from the clinical laboratory, ED, adult and neonatal ICUs provide a summary of the medical importance of in vitro hemolysis. Causes for in vivo hemolysis are …

The outflow of 'dirty' brain fluids from the glymphatic system drains via the meningeal lymphatic vessels to the lymph nodes in the neck, primarily the deep cervical lymph nodes (dcLN). However, it is unclear whether dcLN drainage is essential for normal cerebral homeostasis. Using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and computational fluid dynamics, we studied the impact of long-term mechanical stress from compromised dcLN drainage on brain solute and fluid outflow in anesthetized rats. We found that in young, but not middle-aged, rats, impairment of dcLN drainage was linked to moderately increased intracranial pressure and the emergence of extracranial …

Mepolizumab Alters Gene Regulatory Networks Of Nasal Airway Type-2 And Epithelial Inflammation In Urban Children With Asthma, Courtney L Gaberino, Michelle A Gill, Jeffrey Stokes, Et Al.
2020-Current year OA Pubs
Mepolizumab (anti-IL5 therapy) reduces asthma exacerbations in urban children with exacerbation-prone eosinophilic asthma. We previously utilized nasal transcriptomics to identify inflammatory pathways (gene co-expression modules) associated with asthma exacerbations despite this therapy. In this study, we applied differential gene correlation analysis on these targeted gene co-expression modules to gain better insight into the treatment effects on correlation structure within gene networks. Mepolizumab treatment resulted in loss of correlation amongst eosinophil-specific genes but conservation and even strengthening of correlation amongst mast cell-specific genes, T2 cytokines, and airway epithelial inflammatory genes. Notably, mepolizumab induced significant gain in correlation of genes associated with …

Pain syndromes include physical, sensory, emotional, and cognitive symptoms such as disability, negative affect, feelings of stress, and fatigue. Experimental induction of long-term inflammatory pain in rodents by hindpaw injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) produces anhedonia and dysregulated naturalistic behaviors, similar to the effects of unregulated stress. We examined whether these similarities extend to changes in sleep and rhythms, such as those induced by chronic social defeat stress, using actigraphy and wireless EEG in mice. Comparisons were made between groups that received injections at the onset of the light or dark phase. We found that CFA-induced inflammatory pain alters …

Elevated expression of prothymosin α (ProT) is frequently observed in cancers, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we report the clinical relevance of ProT expression and its correlation with lung cancer progression. We have shown that ProT was highly expressed in early-stage lung cancer, exhibiting nuclear localization; on the contrary, a loss of nuclear ProT expression was detected in late-stage tumor specimens. Furthermore, the expression of nuclear ProT impaired lung cancer cell migration, suppressed TGF-β-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated transcription factor expression, and inhibited in vivo tumor metastasis. The suppressive effect of ProT was further found to trigger …

BACKGROUND: High tumor budding and elevated systemic inflammation are adverse prognostic indicators in colorectal cancer. Its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. It is unclear whether systemic inflammation, angiogenesis, and cell-to-cell adhesion influence tumor budding.
METHODS: We investigated n = 132 stage I-III colorectal cancer patients recruited at Huntsman Cancer Institute enrolled in the ColoCare Study. Tumor budding was evaluated using an evidence-based scoring system, and patient sera were analyzed for nine circulating biomarkers using the Meso Scale Discovery platform. We examined associations between biomarkers and tumor budding using multivariable linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, neoadjuvant treatment, stage, and …

Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a serious medical condition that arises from increased pressure within osteofascial compartments, leading to impaired blood flow and potential tissue damage. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for preventing permanent damage. Current methods rely largely on qualitative assessments with limited accuracy, and those that exploit invasive pressure measurements often prove inadequate. Herein, a soft materials-based multimodal sensor probe is introduced, as well as the mechanical and thermal influences to monitor intra-compartmental pressure, tissue oxygen saturation (StO
