Abstract
BACKGROUND It is challenging to identify malnutrition, which is a risk factor for poor outcome in patients with liver cirrhosis. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition among patients listed for liver transplantation, as assessed by different methods, and also to relate dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to short-term post-transplant outcomes. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we reviewed the medical records of 106 patients who underwent liver transplantation in 2009-2012. Body composition was assessed by the fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI) obtained using DXA. Severe infections within 1 month, length of stay in intensive care unit and length of hospital stay were endpoints of primary interest. RESULTS The prevalence of malnutrition was 2-20% depending on sex and the assessment method. Thirty-nine (37%) patients developed severe infections within 1 month after liver transplantation. In multivariate analysis with logistic regression, body composition was significantly associated with post-operative infection when measured with FFMI (P = 0.043) but not with FMI (P = 0.087). Post-operative dialysis (P = 0.004) and post-operative infections (P < 0.001) were significantly associated with length of stay in hospital. Post-operative bleeding (P = 0.015), duration of mechanical ventilation (P < 0.001) and the need for dialysis (P < 0.001), but not body composition, were significant predictors of the length of stay in the intensive care unit. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of malnutrition depends on assessment method. FFMI is an independent predictor for early post-transplant infections. Body composition measured by DXA during the pretransplant evaluation provides valuable information about nutritional status in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
This paper explores the role of the L1 and the L2 in L3 oral production, both as regards lexicon and syntax. Previous research has shown that both L1 and L2 are used in L3 oral production, and different explanatory factors have been put forward, e.g. (psycho)typology and L2 status. However, these factors do not explain why function words tend to come from L2 while content words seem to be transferred from both L1 and L2 to a larger extent. In order to explain transfer patterns in L3, we use the declarative/procedural model (Paradis 2009), and hypothesize that syntactic transfer will come from L2; transfer of function words from L2; and transfer of content words from both L1 and L2. We analyze lexical and syntactic transfer in eleven native German speakers’ retellings of an episode from a mute video film. The results largely seem to support Paradis’ model.

Abstract
Broad-nosed pipefish Syngnathus typhle were used to investigate whether males used scent in their search for mates. When the males in an experiment had access to olfactory cues only, they did not locate females better than they located males. Thus, S. typhle, was less successful in mate search when visual cues were absent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between HLA antigens and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) erosion, salivary composition, and focal sialadenitis in patients with rheumatic diseases. METHODS Eighty-four patients, 24 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 19 with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), 19 with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and 22 with spondyloarthropathy (SPA) were studied. Each patient underwent clinical examination of the masticatory system, unstimulated and stimulated saliva collection, and minor salivary gland biopsy. Radiographs (OPTG) of the TMJ were obtained, and HLA allele (A, B, C and DRB1*) analysis was performed. Erosion in OPTG was scored from 0 (no erosion) to 4 (condyles totally eroded). In the analysis, scores 0-2 were grouped as normal or mild changes, and scores 3-4 as distinct erosions. One hundred healthy blood donors served as controls for HLA typing. RESULTS Distinct erosion of the TMJ in OPTG was observed in 22 (27%) patients. It affected four (17%) of the 24 patients with RA, three (17%) of the 18 with MCTD, seven (37%) of the 19 patients with AS and eight (38%) of the 21 with SPA non-significant (NS). The mean erosion scores were 1.7 for RA, 1.3 for MCTD, 2.5 for SPA, and 1.6 for AS patients [probability (p) = 0.04]. The frequency of HLA-B27 antigen was higher in the AS and SPA patients, and that of HLA-DRB1*04 allele higher in RA patients than in control subjects. In the whole patient population, HLA-DRB1*01 allele was significantly associated with erosions 16/36 (44%) versus 6/46 (131%1) (p = 0.0014). In the SPA group, patients with HLA-DRBI*01 allele had a significantly higher occurrence of distinct erosions than patients without this allele [8/10 (80%) versus 0/11 (0%) (p = 0.0002)], whereas DRB1*06 was protective [0/8 (0%) versus 8/13 (62%) (p = 0.018)]. HLA-DRB1*04 was associated with increased salivary IgG in the RA patients. CONCLUSION HLA antigens are significantly associated with the development of destructive lesions in the TMJ, as well as composition of saliva in patients with various rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
CD40, a tumor necrosis factor receptor family member, is an emerging target for cancer therapy being best appreciated as an important regulator of the anti-tumor immune response. In this study, we report the development of a replication-defective recombinant adenovirus (RAd) vector expressing human CD40 ligand (RAd-hCD40L) and show that sustained engagement of the CD40 pathway in malignant cells results in direct anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. Thus, transduction of CD40-positive bladder, cervical and ovarian carcinoma cell lines with RAd-hCD40L potently inhibits their proliferation in vitro, whereas CD40-negative lines remain unresponsive. RAd-hCD40L is also found to be superior to recombinant CD40L in inducing carcinoma cell death and in amplifying the cytotoxic effects of the chemotherapeutic agents 5-fluorouracil, cis-platin and mitomycin C. Soluble CD40L is produced by RAd-hCD40L transduced carcinoma cells but unlike other soluble tumor necrosis factor family ligands, it does not interfere with the death-promoting activity of its membrane-bound form. In a mouse xenograft tumor model bearing a human bladder carcinoma, intratumoral delivery of RAd-hCD40L suppresses cancer growth. These findings highlight the potential of exploiting the CD40 pathway in carcinomas using CD40L gene transfer alone or in combination with other modalities for cancer therapy. Our results have also broader implications in understanding the multifaceted anti-tumor activities of the CD40 pathway in carcinomas, which thus offer an attractive option for future clinical application.

Abstract
White Leghorn layers (WL) show modified foraging strategies, compared to their ancestor, the red jungle fowl (RJF). Birds selected for high production may invest more resources into production traits and less in other biological processes. This may affect the capacity to adapt to new or variable environments. Thirty birds of each of RJF and WL were raised in a stressful environment (unpredictable light:dark schedule) and 30 control animals of each breed in similar pens, but on a 12:12h light:dark schedule. We studied the differences between breed and treatment with respect to contrafreeloading (CFL), spatial learning ability and the birds' behaviour in a T-maze. WL showed less CFL, were less cautious in the test arena and showed an impaired spatial learning ability compared with RJF in both test situations. Stress impaired spatial learning in both breeds, but stressed RJF showed a more active response to the test situation than non-stressed RJF, by starting to eat faster, while stressed WL prolonged their time to start eating compared to non-stressed WL.Our results may reflect different adaptive strategies, where RJF appear better adapted to an unpredictable environment.

Abstract
Microvascular reconstruction is the state-of-the-art in many fields of defect surgery today. Currently, reconstruction of large bony defects involves harvesting of autologous bone causing donor site morbidity and risk of infection. Specifically, utilizing autologous adipose stem cells (autoASCs), large quantities of cells can be retrieved for cell therapy applications and the risk of tissue rejection is diminished. The authors describe the first case report of a microvascular custom-made ectopic bone flap employing good manufacturing practice (GMP) level ASCs. The patient underwent a hemimaxillectomy due to a large keratocyst. After 36 months of follow-up, the defect was reconstructed with a microvascular flap using autoASCs, beta-tricalcium phosphate and bone morphogenetic protein-2. ASCs were isolated and expanded in clean room facilities according to GMP standards and were characterized in vitro. After 8 months of follow-up, the flap had developed mature bone structures and vasculature and was transplanted into the defect area. Postoperative healing has been uneventful, and further rehabilitation with dental implants has been started. The in vitro characterization demonstrated multipotentiality and mesenchymal stem cell characteristics in ASCs. This is the first clinical case where ectopic bone was produced using autoASCs in microvascular reconstruction surgery and it will pave way for new clinical trials in the field.

Abstract
Background Stress influences many aspects of animal behaviour and is a major factor driving populations to adapt to changing living conditions, such as during domestication. Stress can affect offspring through non-genetic mechanisms, but recent research indicates that inherited epigenetic modifications of the genome could possibly also be involved. Methodology/Principal Findings Red junglefowl (RJF, ancestors of modern chickens) and domesticated White Leghorn (WL) chickens were raised in a stressful environment (unpredictable light-dark rhythm) and control animals in similar pens, but on a 12/12 h light-dark rhythm. WL in both treatments had poorer spatial learning ability than RJF, and in both populations, stress caused a reduced ability to solve a spatial learning task. Offspring of stressed WL, but not RJF, raised without parental contact, had a reduced spatial learning ability compared to offspring of non-stressed animals in a similar test as that used for their parents. Offspring of stressed WL were also more competitive and grew faster than offspring of non-stressed parents. Using a whole-genome cDNA microarray, we found that in WL, the same changes in hypothalamic gene expression profile caused by stress in the parents were also found in the offspring. In offspring of stressed WL, at least 31 genes were up- or down-regulated in the hypothalamus and pituitary compared to offspring of non-stressed parents. Conclusions/Significance Our results suggest that, in WL the gene expression response to stress, as well as some behavioural stress responses, were transmitted across generations. The ability to transmit epigenetic information and behaviour modifications between generations may therefore have been favoured by domestication. The mechanisms involved remain to be investigated; epigenetic modifications could either have been inherited or acquired de novo in the specific egg environment. In both cases, this would offer a novel explanation to rapid evolutionary adaptation of a population.
