Mitochondrial genome copy number measured by DNA sequencing in human blood is strongly associated with metabolic traits via cell-type composition differences. Hum Genomics 2021; 15:34. [PMID: 34099068 PMCID: PMC8185936 DOI: 10.1186/s40246-021-00335-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial genome copy number (MT-CN) varies among humans and across tissues and is highly heritable, but its causes and consequences are not well understood. When measured by bulk DNA sequencing in blood, MT-CN may reflect a combination of the number of mitochondria per cell and cell-type composition. Here, we studied MT-CN variation in blood-derived DNA from 19184 Finnish individuals using a combination of genome (N = 4163) and exome sequencing (N = 19034) data as well as imputed genotypes (N = 17718). RESULTS We identified two loci significantly associated with MT-CN variation: a common variant at the MYB-HBS1L locus (P = 1.6 × 10-8), which has previously been associated with numerous hematological parameters; and a burden of rare variants in the TMBIM1 gene (P = 3.0 × 10-8), which has been reported to protect against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We also found that MT-CN is strongly associated with insulin levels (P = 2.0 × 10-21) and other metabolic syndrome (metS)-related traits. Using a Mendelian randomization framework, we show evidence that MT-CN measured in blood is causally related to insulin levels. We then applied an MT-CN polygenic risk score (PRS) derived from Finnish data to the UK Biobank, where the association between the PRS and metS traits was replicated. Adjusting for cell counts largely eliminated these signals, suggesting that MT-CN affects metS via cell-type composition. CONCLUSION These results suggest that measurements of MT-CN in blood-derived DNA partially reflect differences in cell-type composition and that these differences are causally linked to insulin and related traits.

Abstract
The solar wind is slowed, deflected, and heated as it encounters Venus's induced magnetosphere. The importance of kinetic plasma processes to these interactions has not been examined in detail, due to a lack of constraining observations. In this study, kinetic-scale electric field structures are identified in the Venusian magnetosheath, including plasma double layers. The double layers may be driven by currents or mixing of inhomogeneous plasmas near the edge of the magnetosheath. Estimated double-layer spatial scales are consistent with those reported at Earth. Estimated potential drops are similar to electron temperature gradients across the bow shock. Many double layers are found in few high cadence data captures, suggesting that their amplitudes are high relative to other magnetosheath plasma waves. These are the first direct observations of plasma double layers beyond near-Earth space, supporting the idea that kinetic plasma processes are active in many space plasma environments.

Biomarkers of severity and threshold of allergic reactions during oral peanut challenges. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2020; 146:344-355.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral food challenge (OFC) is the criterion standard to assess peanut allergy (PA), but it involves a risk of allergic reactions of unpredictable severity. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to identify biomarkers for risk of severe reactions or low dose threshold during OFC to peanut. METHODS We assessed Learning Early about Peanut Allergy study, Persistance of Oral Tolerance to Peanut study, and Peanut Allergy Sensitization study participants by administering the basophil activation test (BAT) and the skin prick test (SPT) and measuring the levels of peanut-specific IgE, Arachis hypogaea 2-specific IgE, and peanut-specific IgG4, and we analyzed the utility of the different biomarkers in relation to PA status, severity, and threshold dose of allergic reactions to peanut during OFC. RESULTS When a previously defined optimal cutoff was used, the BAT diagnosed PA with 98% specificity and 75% sensitivity. The BAT identified severe reactions with 97% specificity and 100% sensitivity. The SPT, level of Arachis hypogaea 2-specific IgE, level of peanut-specific IgE, and IgG4/IgE ratio also had 100% sensitivity but slightly lower specificity (92%, 93%, 90%, and 88%, respectively) to predict severity. Participants with lower thresholds of reactivity had higher basophil activation to peanut in vitro. The SPT and the BAT were the best individual predictors of threshold. Multivariate models were superior to individual biomarkers and were used to generate nomograms to calculate the probability of serious adverse events during OFC for individual patients. CONCLUSIONS The BAT diagnosed PA with high specificity and identified severe reactors and low threshold with high specificity and high sensitivity. The BAT was the best biomarker for severity, surpassed only by the SPT in predicting threshold. Nomograms can help estimate the likelihood of severe reactions and reactions to a low dose of allergen in individual patients with PA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The direct-instillation nasal allergen challenge (NAC) and the environmental exposure chamber (EEC) are 2 methods of conducting controlled allergen provocations. The clinical and biological comparability of these methods has not been thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE We sought to compare clinical and immunologic responses to cat allergen in NAC versus EEC. METHODS Twenty-four participants were randomized to receive either NAC followed by a 2-day challenge in an EEC or a 2-day challenge in an EEC followed by NAC. Challenges were separated by 28-day washout periods. We measured total nasal symptom scores, peak nasal inspiratory flow, nasal (0-8 hours) and serum cytokines, serum antibodies, peripheral blood antigen-specific T lymphocytes, and gene expression in nasal scrapings. The primary outcome was the total nasal symptom score area under the curve for the first 3 hours after allergen exposure in NAC or after initiation of exposure in EEC. RESULTS Both challenges increased IL-5 and IL-13 in nasal fluids and serum and resulted in altered nasal cell expression of gene modules related to mucosal biology and transcriptional regulation. Changes in gene modules, more so than cytokine measurements, showed significant associations with total nasal symptom score and peak nasal inspiratory flow. Overall, EEC exposure generated larger responses and more early terminations compared with NAC. Although the 2 challenges did not correlate in symptom magnitude or temporality, striking correlations were observed in cytokine levels. CONCLUSIONS Although clinical outcomes of NAC and EEC were temporally different and nonequivalent in magnitude, immunologic responses were similar. Selection of a particular allergen challenge method should depend on considerations of study objectives and cost.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
With the advent of the Heliophysics/Geospace System Observatory (H/GSO), a complement of multi-spacecraft missions and ground-based observatories to study the space environment, data retrieval, analysis, and visualization of space physics data can be daunting. The Space Physics Environment Data Analysis System (SPEDAS), a grass-roots software development platform (www.spedas.org), is now officially supported by NASA Heliophysics as part of its data environment infrastructure. It serves more than a dozen space missions and ground observatories and can integrate the full complement of past and upcoming space physics missions with minimal resources, following clear, simple, and well-proven guidelines. Free, modular and configurable to the needs of individual missions, it works in both command-line (ideal for experienced users) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode (reducing the learning curve for first-time users). Both options have "crib-sheets," user-command sequences in ASCII format that can facilitate record-and-repeat actions, especially for complex operations and plotting. Crib-sheets enhance scientific interactions, as users can move rapidly and accurately from exchanges of technical information on data processing to efficient discussions regarding data interpretation and science. SPEDAS can readily query and ingest all International Solar Terrestrial Physics (ISTP)-compatible products from the Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF), enabling access to a vast collection of historic and current mission data. The planned incorporation of Heliophysics Application Programmer's Interface (HAPI) standards will facilitate data ingestion from distributed datasets that adhere to these standards. Although SPEDAS is currently Interactive Data Language (IDL)-based (and interfaces to Java-based tools such as Autoplot), efforts are under-way to expand it further to work with python (first as an interface tool and potentially even receiving an under-the-hood replacement). We review the SPEDAS development history, goals, and current implementation. We explain its "modes of use" with examples geared for users and outline its technical implementation and requirements with software developers in mind. We also describe SPEDAS personnel and software management, interfaces with other organizations, resources and support structure available to the community, and future development plans.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to describe our experience and outcomes in oncoplastic pelvic reconstruction for patients who underwent either vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (VRAM) or omental flap following abdominoperineal resection (APR) at a single tertiary care institution.
Methods All patients who underwent pelvic reconstruction following APR with either VRAM or omental flaps from January 1992 to January 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics and relevant comorbidities including chemotherapy and radiation therapy data were collected and analyzed. In addition, margin status at the time of oncologic resection was analyzed. Flap-specific data were collected for each approach. Oncologic data collected included cancer type, stage at time of APR, and rate of tumor recurrence within the flap.
Results A total of 562 patients were identified who underwent pelvic reconstruction with either VRAM or omental pedicle flaps. Of these, 274 (48.8%) underwent VRAM reconstruction and 288 (51.2%) underwent omental flap reconstruction. All margins were negative at time of cancer ablation surgery. Complications data included: seroma (VRAM = 2 [0.36%]; omentum = 32 [5.69%], p < 0.0001), wound dehiscence (VRAM = 31 [5.52%]; omentum = 17 [3.02%], p = 0.022), abscess (VRAM = 4 [0.71%]; omentum = 27 [4.8%], p < 0.0001), cellulitis (VRAM = 2 [0.36%]; omentum = 10 [1.78%], p = 0.025). Statistical comparison of tumor recurrence between these two reconstructive approaches showed a significantly higher recurrence rate in omental flaps compared with VRAM flaps (p = 0.000127).
Conclusion The results of this study suggest a significantly higher tumor recurrence rate in omental flap pelvic reconstruction compared with VRAM flaps. This knowledge has the potential to influence surgical planning and flap selection in pelvic reconstruction.

Abstract
The Lapidus bunionectomy is performed to treat hallux valgus. Recurrence of the deformity remains a concern. A transverse intermetatarsal screw spanning the base of the first metatarsal to the base of the second can increase stability. The neurovascular bundle is located within the proximity of this screw. In this study, we assessed the structures at risks with the use of this technique. In 10 specimens, a guide wire was placed, and a 4.0-mm cannulated screw was inserted. The neurovascular bundle was dissected and inspected for direct trauma to the neurovascular bundle, and the proximity of the screw was measured using a digital caliper. Ten cadaveric specimens were used. The dorsalis pedis artery and deep peroneal nerve were free from injury in 9 of 10 specimens. In those 9 specimens, the neurovascular bundle was located dorsal in relation to the screw. The mean distance of the screw to the neurovascular bundle was 7.1 ± 3.3 mm. The mean distance from the screw to the first tarsometatarsal joint (TMTJ) was 14.7 ± 4.3 mm. The mean distance from the screw as it entered the second metatarsal to the second TMTJ was 18.0 ± 7.2 mm. In 1 specimen, the screw was found to be traversing through the neurovascular bundle. The distance from the screw to the first TMTJ was 15.0 mm. The distance of the screw from where it entered the second metatarsal to the second TMTJ was 24.0 mm. Although the intermetatarsal screw avoided the neurovascular cases in most instances, there is some anatomic risk to the neurovascular bundle. Further study is warranted to evaluate clinical results using the intermetatarsal screw for the modified Lapidus procedure.

Abstract
Background Links between colorectal cancer (CRC) and the gut microbiome have been established, but the specific microbial species and their role in carcinogenesis remain an active area of inquiry. Our understanding would be enhanced by better accounting for tumor subtype, microbial community interactions, metabolism, and ecology. Methods We collected paired colon tumor and normal-adjacent tissue and mucosa samples from 83 individuals who underwent partial or total colectomies for CRC. Mismatch repair (MMR) status was determined in each tumor sample and classified as either deficient MMR (dMMR) or proficient MMR (pMMR) tumor subtypes. Samples underwent 16S rRNA gene sequencing and a subset of samples from 50 individuals were submitted for targeted metabolomic analysis to quantify amino acids and short-chain fatty acids. A PERMANOVA was used to identify the biological variables that explained variance within the microbial communities. dMMR and pMMR microbial communities were then analyzed separately using a generalized linear mixed effects model that accounted for MMR status, sample location, intra-subject variability, and read depth. Genome-scale metabolic models were then used to generate microbial interaction networks for dMMR and pMMR microbial communities. We assessed global network properties as well as the metabolic influence of each microbe within the dMMR and pMMR networks. Results We demonstrate distinct roles for microbes in dMMR and pMMR CRC. Bacteroides fragilis and sulfidogenic Fusobacterium nucleatum were significantly enriched in dMMR CRC, but not pMMR CRC. These findings were further supported by metabolic modeling and metabolomics indicating suppression of B. fragilis in pMMR CRC and increased production of amino acid proxies for hydrogen sulfide in dMMR CRC. Conclusions Integrating tumor biology and microbial ecology highlighted distinct microbial, metabolic, and ecological properties unique to dMMR and pMMR CRC. This approach could critically improve our ability to define, predict, prevent, and treat colorectal cancers.

Abstract
Multi-omic data and genome-scale microbial metabolic models have allowed us to examine microbial communities, community function, and interactions in ways that were not available to us historically. Now, one of our biggest challenges is determining how to integrate data and maximize data potential. Our study demonstrates one way in which to test a hypothesis by combining multi-omic data and community metabolic models. Specifically, we assess hydrogen sulfide production in colorectal cancer based on stool, mucosa, and tissue samples collected on and off the tumor site within the same individuals. 16S rRNA microbial community and abundance data were used to select and inform the metabolic models. We then used MICOM, an open source platform, to track the metabolic flux of hydrogen sulfide through a defined microbial community that either represented on-tumor or off-tumor sample communities. We also performed targeted and untargeted metabolomics, and used the former to quantitatively evaluate our model predictions. A deeper look at the models identified several unexpected but feasible reactions, microbes, and microbial interactions involved in hydrogen sulfide production for which our 16S and metabolomic data could not account. These results will guide future in vitro, in vivo, and in silico tests to establish why hydrogen sulfide production is increased in tumor tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Flexible pes planovalgus is a common condition encountered by foot and ankle physicians. Many treatment options exist to correct this deformity. One such procedure is an Evans osteotomy of the anterior process of the calcaneus. Due to the complications seen with this type of osteotomy, there has been an attempt to reduce these complications and as a result, an anterior body calcaneal z-cut osteotomy was developed. This osteotomy is inherently more stable by design and fewer complications have been reported. In an attempt to further understand this osteotomy and to determine how much bony interface remained following this osteotomy, a cadaveric study was performed. Methods: A Z-cut osteotomy was performed on 10 cadaveric specimens with the distal arm exiting dorsal and 1 cm proximal to the calcaneocuboid joint, while the proximal arm exited plantarly. The central axis lengths of 15 mm and 20 mm were compared. An 8-mm wedge was placed in both the distal and proximal arms, and fixated with a staple. Digital calipers were used to measure the amount of bony apposition on the central arm between the wedges. Results: The average amount of bone apposition was 9.13 mm. When comparing the 20 mm to 15 mm central arm groups, the average bony apposition was 10.66 mm and 7.61 mm, respectively. Conclusion: Based on these results, the anterior body calcaneal Z-osteotomy provides enough bony apposition between both groups with an 8-mm wedge distraction. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the union rate between the classic lateral column lengthening osteotomy and the anterior body calcaneal Z-osteotomy.

Abstract
Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: The Lapidus procedure is a common procedure for the treatment of hallux abducto valgus. Traditional fixation consists of two crossing screws in the sagittal plane. Despite arthrodesis of the first tarsometatarsal joint, recurrence of the hallux abducto valgus deformity remains a concern. A transverse screw spanning the base of the first metatarsal to the base of the second metatarsal has been advocated to provide transverse plane stability. However, the neurovascular bundle is located within the proximity of this screw. The literature is sparse with a standard technique to safely provide appropriate fixation. An anatomic cadaver study was undertaken to assess the risk of injury to the neurovascular bundle. Methods: Ten unmatched cadaveric limbs that had been disarticulated at the knee were used. Under fluoroscopic guidance, the guide wire to a 4.0-mm screw was driven across the base of the first metatarsal and into the second metatarsal. A 4.0-mm screw was inserted, taking care to obtain osseous purchase into the second metatarsal. A longitudinal incision was made and careful dissection was carried to identify the neurovascular bundle and screw. The neurovascular bundle was inspected for trauma and the proximity of the screws was measured using a digital caliper. Results: There were three left-sided and seven right-sided specimens. Five of the specimens were male and five were female. The mean age of the specimens at date of death was 71.4 years. The mean body mass index was 20.5. The mean distance from the 4.0-mm screw to the first metatarsal base 11.24 mm distal to the first tarsometatarsal joint. The deep plantar artery and deep peroneal nerve was free from injury in 10/10 (100%) specimens. However, the screw was measured to be less than 5 mm in three specimens. In these instances, the average distance of the screw distal to the first tarsometatarsal joint was 12.1 mm. Conclusion: The addition of the intermetatarsal screw for Lapidus bunionectomy is widely accepted clinical practice. Descriptions of the operative technique for the placement of hardware into the second metatarsal have not included specific recommendations to avoid potential risk to the neurovascular bundle as it courses between the bases of the first and second metatarsals. According to this cadaveric study, the neurovascular bundle was avoided with placement of the intermetatarsal screw, if placed approximately 11.24 mm distal to the first tarsometatarsal joint. Further study is warranted to evaluate the optimal distance distal to the first tarsometatarsal joint.

Abstract
Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: The average intramedullary diameter of the proximal phalanges of the foot has not been well documented in the literature. This dimension has important implications for surgical fixation devices, such as intramedullary screws. By design, intramedullary fixation devices rely on endosteal fit to provide stability. The precise intramedullary diameter is not readily identifiable on plain radiographs. A better understanding of the average diameter of the proximal phalanges of the foot can assist surgeons in surgical planning and appropriate screw diameter selection to provide more satisfactory patient outcomes. Methods: Twenty below-knee cadaveric specimens were dissected to expose each proximal phalanx. A sagittal saw was used to transect the diaphysis at its narrowest portion. The dorsal to plantar and medial to lateral diameters were measured using a digital manometer. Results: The average diameter dorsal to plantar for each digit was 6.25 ± 2.24 mm, 3.61 ± 1.25 mm, 2.94 ± 0.70 mm, 2.72 ± 0.77 mm, and 2.48 ± 0.80 mm, respectively. The average diameter medial to lateral for each digit was 7.83 ± 2.13 mm, 3.08 ± 0.93 mm, 2.47 ± 0.74 mm, 2.33 ± 0.73 mm, and 2.62 ± 0.69 mm, respectively. The overall average diameter for toes one through five was 7.04 ± 1.95 mm, 3.35 ± 1.04 mm, 2.71 ± 0.66 mm, 2.52 ± 0.71 mm, and 2.55 ± 0.63 mm, respectively. Conclusion: Understanding the intramedullary diameters of the proximal phalanges of the foot is a valuable tool when utilizing intramedullary surgical stabilization. The hallux proximal phalanx demonstrated the largest, and most variable, diameter, which could make selection intramedullary fixation difficult. In addition, the hallux proximal phalanx may lend itself better to 2 smaller fixation devices rather than one larger one. The lesser phalanges demonstrated smaller diameters more consistently, which is more amenable to a single smaller (2.5 mm) intramedullary device. This data can provide surgeons with an expected intramedullary diameter during surgical planning.

Abstract
Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Medial displacement calcaneus tuberosity osteotomy and anterior process lengthening calcaneus osteotomy are traditional single-plane osteotomy techniques used in adult acquired flatfoot deformity reconstruction. More recently, three plane step-cut osteotomies were described for each of these and offer improved rotational stability via the horizontal limb. However, a major technical challenge is achieving a sufficiently long horizontal limb to correct deformity through lengthening without losing bony apposition. Combining the anterior process and tuberosity step-cuts using an elongated horizontal limb (“Z-cut”, Figure 1) alleviates this technical challenge, creates a very large surface area for bony healing, and utilizes a single incision. We hypothesized that the Z-cut osteotomy achieves clinical and radiographic flatfoot deformity correction with a high union rate. Methods: This was an IRB-approved retrospective study of 17 patients who underwent Z-cut osteotomy for treatment of moderate to severe symptomatic adult acquired flatfoot deformity, Stage IIB. Mean follow up was 8.3 months. Radiographic correction was assessed via weight bearing radiographs taken pre-operatively and at a mean of 26 +/- 2 weeks post operatively. Measurements included Meary’s angle (talo-1st metatarsal angle), talonavicular joint (TN) uncoverage percentage, TN incongruency angle, medial cuneiform to fifth metatarsal height, and calcaneal pitch. Union rates, calcaneocuboid joint arthritic changes and clinical outcomes via Foot Function Index (FFI) score were assessed preoperatively and at a mean of 29 months following surgery. Paired t-test was used to compare both clinical and radiographic outcomes with statistical significance set at p<0.05. Results: Nine patients returned an FFI questionnaire with a mean improvement of 52.1 to 10.3 (p = .002). Calcaneal pitch improved from 13.2 to 15.3 (p = .004), medial cuneiform/5th metatarsal distance improved from 13.3 to 18.5 (p = .004), TN coverage angle improved from 22.4 to 9.7 (p < .001), TN uncoverage % improved from 34.3 to 21.2 (p <.001), TN incongruency angle improved from 39 to 20.1 (p < .001). Deformity correction was well maintained in 14 of 17 patients at final follow up. Union rate of the osteotomy was 100%. Three patients had symptomatic hardware initially, one patient required removal of hardware. One patient developed a superficial infection that cleared. Another patient developed peroneal tendonitis, which resolved with corticosteroid injection. Conclusion: The Z-cut osteotomy is a novel, technically simplified, single incision, single osteotomy alternative to previously described double calcaneus osteotomy techniques for reconstructing flexible moderate to severe adult acquired flatfoot deformity which offers comparable short term clinical and radiographic outcomes with acceptably low complications.

Abstract
On November 9 and 10, 2015, the International Conference on Mesothelioma in Populations Exposed to Naturally Occurring Asbestiform Fibers was held at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The meeting was cosponsored by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, and the agenda was designed with significant input from staff at the U.S. National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. A multidisciplinary group of participants presented updates reflecting a range of disciplinary perspectives, including mineralogy, geology, epidemiology, toxicology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, public health, and clinical oncology. The group identified knowledge gaps that are barriers to preventing and treating malignant mesothelioma (MM) and the required next steps to address barriers. This manuscript reports the group’s efforts and focus on strategies to limit risk to the population and reduce the incidence of MM. Four main topics were explored: genetic risk, environmental exposure, biomarkers, and clinical interventions. Genetics plays a critical role in MM when the disease occurs in carriers of germline BRCA1 associated protein 1 mutations. Moreover, it appears likely that, in addition to BRCA1 associated protein 1, other yet unknown genetic variants may also influence the individual risk for development of MM, especially after exposure to asbestos and related mineral fibers. MM is an almost entirely preventable malignancy as it is most often caused by exposure to commercial asbestos or mineral fibers with asbestos-like health effects, such as erionite. In the past in North America and in Europe, the most prominent source of exposure was related to occupation. Present regulations have reduced occupational exposure in these countries; however, some people continue to be exposed to previously installed asbestos in older construction and other settings. Moreover, an increasing number of people are being exposed in rural areas that contain noncommercial asbestos, erionite, and other mineral fibers in soil or rock (termed naturally occurring asbestos [NOA]) and are being developed. Public health authorities, scientists, residents, and other affected groups must work together in the areas where exposure to asbestos, including NOA, has been documented in the environment to mitigate or reduce this exposure. Although a blood biomarker validated to be effective for use in screening and identifying MM at an early stage in asbestos/ NOA-exposed populations is not currently available, novel biomarkers presented at the meeting, such as high mobility group box 1 and fibulin-3, are promising. There was general agreement that current treatment for MM, which is based on surgery and standard chemotherapy, has a modest effect on the overall survival (OS), which remains dismal. Additionally, although much needed novel therapeutic approaches for MM are being developed and explored in clinical trials, there is a critical need to invest in prevention research, in which there is a great opportunity to reduce the incidence and mortality from MM.

Abstract
Human malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive cancer linked to asbestos and erionite exposure. We previously reported that High-Mobility Group Box-1 protein (HMGB1), a prototypic damage-associated molecular pattern, drives MM development and sustains MM progression. Moreover, we demonstrated that targeting HMGB1 inhibited MM cell growth and motility in vitro, reduced tumor growth in vivo, and prolonged survival of MM-bearing mice. Ethyl pyruvate (EP), the ethyl ester of pyruvic acid, has been shown to be an effective HMGB1 inhibitor in inflammation-related diseases and several cancers. Here, we studied the effect of EP on the malignant phenotype of MM cells in tissue culture and on tumor growth in vivo using an orthotopic MM xenograft model. We found that EP impairs HMGB1 secretion by MM cells leading to reduced RAGE expression and NF-κB activation. As a consequence, EP impaired cell motility, cell proliferation, and anchorage-independent growth of MM cells. Moreover, EP reduced HMGB1 serum levels in mice and inhibited the growth of MM xenografts. Our results indicate that EP effectively hampers the malignant phenotype of MM, offering a novel potential therapeutic approach to patients afflicted with this dismal disease.

Abstract
Category: Diabetes, Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: The plantar approach for medial column retrograde intramedullary fixation of Charcot midfoot deformity allows for easy access to the ideal starting point on the metatarsal head and is supported by good clinical outcomes data. The primary argument against this approach is iatrogenic damage to the plantar structures of the metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP), which could cause tendon imbalances resulting in hallux malleus deformity. However, thus far, such complications have rarely been reported. Based on available literature, it is unclear what types of plantar structure injury occur and at what frequency. The purpose of this study was to describe plantar first metatarsophalangeal joint structure damage caused by plantar approach retrograde intramedullary medial column beam fixation. Methods: This was an IRB-exempt study. For each of 10 human cadaveric specimens, a 6.5 mm cannulated screw system was used for plantar approach retrograde medial column intramedullary fixation. This entailed using fluoroscopy to percutaneously localize a 2.8-millimeter (mm) guide wire to the center-center position on the first metatarsal head and then advanced it into the center of the medial cuneiform. A small sagittal plane skin incision was made around the wire and subcuticular tissue was bluntly divided. Next, a 4.8-mm cannulated drill was passed through a drill sleeve over the wire. Then, a countersink was used without a tissue protector. Finally, the 6.5-mm screw was inserted until it was recessed beneath subchondral bone. The specimens were then dissected to evaluate damage to the plantar structures of the 1st MTP joint. Damage to named structures was categorized as none, less than 50%, greater than 50%, and 100%. Results: The plantar plate was less than 50% damaged in all specimens. The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon had less than 50% damage in 8 specimens. In one of two specimens with greater than 50% FHL damage, the torn portion of the tendon was tenodesed to the first metatarsal head by the screw (Figure). Although the medial flexor hallucis brevis (FHB) tendon was less than 50% damaged in 3 specimens and undamaged in the remainder, the medial sesamoid was less than 50% damaged in 8 specimens. In contrast, less than 50% damage occurred to the lateral FHB and lateral sesamoid in only 2 and 3 specimens, respectively. Additionally, some erosion of the plantar base of the proximal phalanx was observed in one specimen. Conclusion: The plantar structures of the hallux MTP are a tightly constrained system, which are violated during plantar approach retrograde intramedullary medial column fixation. No structures were completely transected and high-grade damage (greater than 50%) was infrequent, occurring in only two FHL tendons. Low-grade damage (less than 50%) was frequently observed to involved the FHL, medial sesamoid, and plantar plate. Based on the current findings, an FHL splitting or preserving approach is advisable to avoid high-grade damage if plantar approach is desired. A dorsal arthrotomy approach avoiding plantar structures may also be considered.

Abstract
Abstract
Malignant mesothelioma is a very aggressive tumor and has been linked to occupational and environmental exposure to carcinogenic mineral fibers such as asbestos. It was discovered recently that individuals carrying germline BAP1 mutations are predisposed to mesothelioma in presence of even minimal exposure to carcinogenic mineral fibers. Mesothelioma causes about 3,200 deaths per year in the U.S. and over 40,000 deaths per year worldwide. Most malignant mesothelioma studies have focused on carcinogenesis due to occupational exposure to the six regulated industrial mineral fibers collectively called ‘asbestos’. Besides this family of six regulated asbestos minerals, there are other non-regulated fibers that possess physical and chemical structures that are similar to industrial asbestos, and may also be carcinogenic. However, many of those mineral fibers are unknown for their carcinogenesis. We conducted serious studies on this topic and established in vitro and in vivo assays to help determine the carcinogenesis of various types of mineral fibers. We found that high mobility box 1 protein (HMGB1) is a key initiator of asbestos-induced inflammation, which plays critical roles in the development and growth of mesothelioma, and that HMGB1 may be a good indicator for fiber carcinogenesis and a biomarker for fibers exposure. Moreover, we found that specific immune system changes that occur after exposure to carcinogenic fibers, which may be a useful tool to help interrogate the carcinogenic potential of mineral fibers. In particular, the ability to induce an M2 macrophage response appears related to the potent tumor-inducing capacity of carcinogenic mineral fibers.
