Shared Polygenicity Detection Using Elastic Nets: Sharpen, M. John, T. Lencz Jan 2018

Shared Polygenicity Detection Using Elastic Nets: Sharpen, M. John, T. Lencz

Journal Articles

Current research suggests that hundreds to thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with modest effect sizes contribute to the genetic basis of many disorders, a phenomenon labeled as polygenicity. Additionally, many such disorders demonstrate polygenic overlap, in which risk alleles are shared at associated genetic loci. However, there are currently no well-developed statistical methods that can be utilized to detect specific subsets of SNPs involved in the shared polygenicity of phenotypes. In this paper, we illustrate how elastic nets, with appropriate adaptation in selecting the penalty parameter, can be utilized for narrowing the range of SNPs involved in shared polygenicity. …

© 2018 American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Our traditional names for psychotropic medication classes lead to unnecessary confusion. As clinicians, we have grown comfortable with idiosyncratic names of psychotropic medications and have forgotten how unclear and misleading they can be. For example, evidence shows that serotonin reuptake inhibitors help in pediatric anxiety disorders, but a parent with an anxious child might ask, “If you diagnosed my son with separation anxiety, why are you giving him an antidepressant?” Another parent might object to the use of a “stimulant” medication, “My daughter never slows down, the last thing she needs …

© The Author(s) 2018. Background There is no countable biomarker for opioid dependence treatment responses thus far. In this study, we recruited Taiwanese methadone maintenance treatment patients to search for genes involving the regulatory mechanisms of methadone dose by genome-wide association analyses. Methods A total of 344 Taiwanese methadone maintenance treatment patients were included in a genome-wide association study. The involvement of GRK5 in opioid dependence was then further confirmed by gene expression study on lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from 3 independent age- and gender-matched groups: Methadone maintenance treatment patients, medication-free former heroin abusers, and normal controls. Results The results …

More than 20 years after the clinical high risk syndrome for psychosis (CHR) was first articulated, it remains controversial whether the CHR syndrome predicts onset of psychosis with diagnostic specificity or predicts pluripotential diagnostic outcomes. Recently, analyses of observational studies, however, have suggested that the CHR syndrome is not pluripotential for emergent diagnostic outcomes. The present report conducted additional analyses in previously reported samples to determine (1) whether comorbid disorders were more likely to persist in CHR patients compared to a comparison group of patients who responded to CHR recruitment efforts but did not meet criteria, termed help-seeking comparison subjects …


Overexpression Of Β1 Integrin Contributes To Polarity Reversal And A Poor Prognosis Of Breast Invasive Micropapillary Carcinoma, B. Liu, X. Zheng, F. Meng, Y. Han, Y. Song, F. Liu, S. Li, L. Zhang, X. Zhang, L. Fu, +1 Additional Author Jan 2018

Overexpression Of Β1 Integrin Contributes To Polarity Reversal And A Poor Prognosis Of Breast Invasive Micropapillary Carcinoma, B. Liu, X. Zheng, F. Meng, Y. Han, Y. Song, F. Liu, S. Li, L. Zhang, X. Zhang, L. Fu, +1 Additional Author

Journal Articles

© Liu et al. Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast is a highly aggressive breast cancer. Polarity reversal exemplified by cluster growth is hypothesized to contribute to the invasiveness and metastasis of IMPC. In this study, we demonstrate that levels of β1 integrin and Rac1 expression were greater in breast IMPC than in invasive breast carcinoma of no specific type and paraneoplastic benign breast tissue. We show that silencing β1 integrin expression using the β1 integrin inhibitor AIIB2 partially restored polarity in IMPC primary cell clusters and downregulated Rac1. Thus, overexpression of β1 integrin upregulates Rac1. Univariate analysis showed …

© 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Background/purpose: Tumor heterogeneity is a now well-recognized phenomenon that can affect the classification, prognosis and treatment of human cancers. Heterogeneity is often described in primary breast cancers based upon histologic subtypes, hormone- and HER2-receptor status, and immunolabeling for various markers, which can be seen within a single tumor as mixed cellular populations, or as separate discrete foci. Experimental design/methods: Here, we present a case report of a patient’s primary breast cancer that had two separate but adjacent histologic components, one that was estrogen receptor (ER) positive, and the other ER …

Journal Articles

© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major component of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) following pulmonary and systemic infection. Alveolar macrophages (AMΦ) are at the center of ALI pathogenesis. Emerging evidence has shown that cell-cell interactions in the lungs play an important regulatory role in the development of acute lung inflammation. However, the underneath mechanisms remain poorly addressed. In this study, we explore a novel function of lung epithelial cells (LEPCs) in regulating the release of exosomes from AMΦ following LPS stimulation. Methods: For the in vivo experiments, C57BL/6 wildtype (WT) mice were treated with …

BACKGROUND:Physicians are required to assume a leadership role as part of their career. For most, this is not an innate characteristic and must be developed throughout their medical training. There are few residency courses designed to assist in the enhancement of these leadership skills. We created and implemented a novel course on leadership, utilizing weekly presentations designed to stimulate discussions and improve the leadership qualities of trainees. METHODS:Senior residents provided leadership lectures stimulated by assigned readings from the book "The Founding Fathers on Leadership." The traits and characteristics demonstrated throughout course readings and discussions were subsequently incorporated into everyday resident …

Multiple Roles Of Aryloxide Leaving Groups In Enantioselective Annulations Employing Α,Β-Unsaturated Acyl Ammonium Catalysis, M. D. Greenhalgh, S. Qu, A. M. Slawin, A. D. Smith

Journal Articles

© 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry. An isothiourea-catalysed Michael addition-annulation process using β-fluoroalkyl-substituted α,β-unsaturated aryl esters and a range of 2-acylbenzazoles is reported for the enantioselective synthesis of dihydropyranone and dihydropyridinone products bearing polyfluorinated stereocenters (29 examples, up to 98% yield, >99:1 er). The choice of aryl group of the aryl ester proved essential in determining reaction enantioselectivity and dihydropyranone:dihydropyridinone product selectivity. The aryloxide leaving group is shown to play a number of essential additional roles, operating (i) as a Brønsted base, circumventing the need for an auxiliary base; and (ii) as a Lewis base to catalyse the isomerisation …

© The Author(s) (2018). Published by Oxford University Press. The success of our political institutions, environmental stewardship and evolutionary fitness all hinge on our ability to prioritize collective-interest over self-interest. Despite considerable interest in the neuro-cognitive processes that underlie group cooperation, the evidence to date is inconsistent. Several papers support models of prosocial restraint, while more recent work supports models of prosocial intuition.We evaluate these competing models using a sample of lesion patients with damage to brain regions previously implicated in intuition and deliberation. Compared to matched control participants (brain damaged and healthy controls), we found that patients with dorsolateral …

© 2018 The Authors Human Brain Mapping Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Little is known about how language functional MRI (fMRI) is executed in clinical practice in spite of its widespread use. Here we comprehensively documented its execution in surgical planning in epilepsy. A questionnaire focusing on cognitive design, image acquisition, analysis and interpretation, and practical considerations was developed. Individuals responsible for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting clinical language fMRI data at 63 epilepsy surgical programs responded. The central finding was of marked heterogeneity in all aspects of fMRI. Most programs use multiple tasks, with a fifth routinely using 2, 3, …

Background Consensus panels regularly recommend aerobic exercise for its health-promoting properties, due in part to presumed anti-inflammatory effects, but many studies show no such effect, possibly related to study differences in participants, interventions, inflammatory markers, and statistical approaches. This variability makes an unequivocal determination of the anti-inflammatory effects of aerobic training elusive. Methods and Results We conducted a randomized controlled trial of 12 weeks of aerobic exercise training or a wait list control condition followed by 4 weeks of sedentary deconditioning on lipopolysaccharide (0, 0.1, and 1.0 ng/mL)-inducible tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and on toll-like receptor 4 …
