Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood pressure (BP) increase as a reaction to major disasters has been well documented; however, the impact has been underdocumented for tsunamis. This study aimed to confirm whether different levels of flooding/inundation and other damage caused by the 2011 Tohoku (northeast Japan) tsunami were associated with BP among resident victims in Higashi-Matsushima, Miyagi. METHODS Cross-sectional household screening was conducted 7-19 weeks after the disaster in administrative areas totally or partially flooded by the tsunami. Systolic and diastolic BP (SBP/DBP) were measured in 4,311 residents. RESULTS There was a degree-dependent association between SBP/DBP and flooding height above sea level among victims not on antihypertensive medication (P < 0.01 for both). Disruption of the gas supply was also significantly associated with SBP/DBP (P < 0.01 for both). Among individuals on antihypertensive medication, the discontinuation of medication was associated with SBP/DBP (P < 0.01 for both). After adjusting for confounding and multiplicity, a matched case-control analysis did not identify any significant associations between the tsunami or lifeline indicators and high BP (SBP ≥160mm Hg or DBP ≥100mm Hg). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that after a major tsunami, resident victims in areas highly inundated by flood waters and those with disrupted gas supply are more likely to have higher BP and thus might warrant getting BP screening earlier than other residents. Those with hypertension should be given assistance to resume or commence antihypertensive medication as soon as possible to reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence of non-communicable diseases are a challenging problems among menopausal women specially in a least developed country like Bangladesh, where majority of women suffering from at least one chronic diseases after menopausal age. So, the main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and related risk factors in Bangladeshi pre- and post-menopausal women living in the rural setting. METHODS This study is based on a community based cross-sectional survey among 1802 rural women aged ≥15 years. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the criteria of NCEP-ATP III. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between menopausal status and metabolic syndrome and its components. RESULTS Metabolic syndrome was presented in 25.6% respondents and it was more prevalent among post-menopausal (39.3%) as compared to pre-menopausal (16.8%) women. Logistic regression analysis reveals that prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 1.78 times higher in post-menopausal women than pre-menopausal women (P = 0.001). Prevalence of high blood pressure, elevated fasting blood glucose, and high triglyceride were significantly higher in post-menopausal women than pre-menopausal women (P < 0.05). However, prevalence of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly lower in post-menopausal women than pre-menopausal women (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Metabolic syndrome seems to be a major health problem among post-menopausal women in many developing countries like Bangladesh and proper policy emphasis should be given on its prevention and control.

Abstract
The definitive diagnosis of amyloidosis is made histologically with Congo red stain. Noninvasive imaging techniques for amyloidosis are beneficial for early and definite diagnosis of amyloid deposition in the body. (99m)Tc-aprotinin has the benefit of detecting amyloid deposits mainly in the heart, but it can also detect a wide range of lesions in other locations. The usefulness and limitations of (99m)Tc-Aprotinin scintigraphy for amyloid imaging were re-evaluated based on results from 25 patients (15 men and 10 women; median age, 62.9 y; range, 34-83 y). In addition, other nuclear tracers for imaging amyloidosis are discussed. Of the 25 patients with suspected amyloidosis, 19 patients were proven to have amyloid deposits by histopathological diagnosis. Major (99m)Tc-aprotinin positive sites were confirmed in the myocardium, thyroid, large joints, vertebrae, colon, and lungs. If (99m)Tc-Aprotinin images showed positive findings, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of existing amyloid deposits were 94.7, 33.3, 81.8, and 66.7%, respectively. For analysis based on biopsy region, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of existing amyloid deposition were 30.6, 82.6, 73.3, and 43.2%, respectively. (99m)Tc-Aprotinin has a high potential for diagnosis of amyloid deposition in body; however, due to its physiological uptake, its potential is limited for detection of amyloid deposits in the liver, kidney, and spleen.

Abstract
An 86-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with a head injury secondary to an episode of syncope associated with incontinence. Electrocardiography showed complete atrioventricular block, giant negative T waves in the precordial leads, and QT interval prolongation. Emergency coronary angiography showed no significant coronary stenosis, while left ventriculography demonstrated midventricular ballooning. Despite temporary transvenous pacing, her complete atrioventricular block persisted, but worsening of heart failure did not occur. Although left ventricular wall motion improved, complete atrioventricular block remained, so a pacemaker was implanted on day 18 after admission. There have been no previous reports of complete atrioventricular block associated with midventricular ballooning. This case demonstrates that complete atrioventricular block may persist after improvement of left ventricular wall motion in patients with midventricular ballooning and implantation of a pacemaker may be needed. <Learning objective: Some cases describe takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy with not apical but midventricular ballooning. This is the first case of midventricular ballooning and persistence of complete atrioventricular block after improvement of left ventricular wall motion that required implantation of a pacemaker.>.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with impaired angiogenesis, a process that is chiefly regulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) upon binding to its specific receptors, VEGF-R1 and VEGF-R2. The purpose of the present study was to assess trends or patterns in plasma levels of VEGF and its soluble receptors in subjects with (MetS) or without (non-MetS) MetS; and further examine their association with clinical or metabolic parameters using a subpopulation of South Asian country. A total of 1,802 rural Bangladeshi women aged ≥15 years were studied using a population-based cross-sectional survey. Plasma levels of VEGF were found to be significantly increased (MetS vs. non-MetS: 483.9 vs. 386.9, p<0.001), whereas, the soluble forms of VEGF receptors, sVEGF-R1 and sVEGF-R2, were significantly decreased in subjects with Mets (sVEGF-R1, MetS vs. non-MetS: 512.5 vs. 631.3, p<0.001; sVEGF-R2, MetS vs. non-MetS: 9,302.8 vs. 9,787.4, p=0.004). After adjustment for age and all potential variables, multiple regression analysis revealed that plasma levels of VEGF had significant positive association with blood glucose (p = 0.019) and body mass index (p = 0.007). We also found that mean plasma levels of VEGF increased in direct proportion to levels of MetS components. The present study is the first ever to demonstrate a positive association between trends in levels of plasma VEGF and MetS using a large sample size from South Asia. The association between plasma VEGF and MetS needs further investigations in order to clearly decipher the clinical predictive value and accuracy of plasma VEGF in MetS.

Abstract
KAI-9803 is composed of a selective δ-protein kinase C (δPKC) inhibitor peptide derived from the δV1-1 portion of δPKC (termed "cargo peptide"), conjugated reversibly to the cell-penetrating peptide 11-amino acid, arginine-rich sequence of the HIV type 1 transactivator protein (TAT₄₇₋₅₇; termed "carrier peptide") via a disulfide bond. KAI-9803 administration at the end of ischemia has been found to reduce cardiac damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. In the study presented here, we examined the TAT₄₇₋₅₇-mediated distribution of KAI-9803 in rats after a single intravenous bolus administration (1 mg/kg). ¹⁴C-KAI-9803 was rapidly delivered to many tissues, including the heart (1.21 μg eq/g tissue), while being quickly cleared from the systemic circulation. The microautoradiography analysis showed that ¹⁴C-KAI-9803 was effectively delivered into various cells, including cardiac myocytes and cardiac endothelial cells within 1 min after dosing. The tissue distribution of ¹²⁵I-labeled KAI-9803 was compared to that of ¹²⁵I-labeled cargo peptide; this comparison demonstrated that the distribution of KAI-9803 to tissues such as the liver, kidney, and heart was facilitated by the reversible conjugation to TAT₄₇₋₅₇. In an in vitro cardiomyocyte study, the extent of ¹²⁵I-KAI-9803 internalization was greater at 37°C than that at 4°C, whereas the internalization of the ¹²⁵I-cargo peptide at 37°C was not observed, indicating that the uptake of ¹²⁵I-KAI-9803 into the cardiomyocytes was mediated by the TAT₄₇₋₅₇ carrier. Our studies demonstrated that after a single intravenous administration, KAI-9803 can be delivered into the target cells in the liver, kidney, and heart by a TAT₄₇₋₅₇-mediated mechanism.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the mechanism underlying the elevation in serum creatinine levels caused by a novel des-fluoro(6)-quinolone antibacterial agent, DX-619, in healthy subjects. hOCT2 showed a prominent uptake of creatinine (K(m) = 56.4 mmol/l) among renal organic ion transporters. DX-619 is a potent inhibitor of hOCT2 (K(i) = 0.94 micromol/l), hMATE1 (0.82 µmol/l), and hMATE2-K (0.10 micromol/l). The pharmacokinetic model involving the inhibition of hOCT2 (model 1), hOCT2, and MATE1 or MATE2-K (model 2) could predict the elevation in serum creatinine levels in individual subjects receiving DX-619. This assumes that a significant contribution of tubular secretion (59, 38, and 31%) and reabsorption ranged from 3-50, 4-30, and 5-21% in model 1, -2a (hOCT2/hMATE1), and -2b (hOCT2/hMATE2-K), respectively, for creatinine. In conclusion, DX-619, at its therapeutic dose, is able to inhibit hOCT2, hMATE1, and hMATE2-K, leading to a significant inhibition of tubular secretion of creatinine and consequently to elevation of serum creatinine levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to investigate the effect of PEGylation on the uptake of osteoprotegerin/osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OPG/OCIF) into rat liver, kidney and spleen, and human liver. METHODS Copolymer of polyethyleneglycol allylmethylether and maleamic acid sodium salt with OCIF (poly(PEG)-OCIF) (0.5 mg/kg) was administered to rats and the concentrations of poly(PEG)-OCIF in the liver, kidney and spleen at 15 min after administration were measured by ELISA. For human liver uptake, the liver perfusion of OCIF and (3)H-labelled poly(PEG)-OCIF was conducted using fresh human liver block. KEY FINDINGS The tissue uptake of poly(PEG)-OCIF in rats was significantly lower compared with that of OCIF. In fresh human liver perfusion, (3)H-poly(PEG)-OCIF was rarely taken up into the liver. On the other hand, more than 50% of the perfused OCIF was taken up. CONCLUSIONS PEGylation of OCIF using poly(PEG) dramatically suppressed the uptake of OCIF into human liver as well as into rat liver and could be a promising approach for improving the pharmacokinetic and pharmacological effects of OCIF in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) is a widely used industrial solvent known to cause adverse effects to human and other mammals. Organs with high metabolism and rapid cell division, such as testes, are especially sensitive to its actions. In order to gain mechanistic understanding of EGME-induced toxicity, an untargeted metabolomic analysis was performed in rats. Male rats were administrated with EGME at 30 and 100 mg/kg/day. At days 1, 4, and 14, serum, urine, liver, and testes were collected for analysis. Testicular injury was observed at day 14 of the 100 mg/kg/day group only. Nearly 1900 metabolites across the four matrices were profiled using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Statistical analysis indicated that the most significant metabolic perturbations initiated from the early time points by EGME were the inhibition of choline oxidation, branched-chain amino acid catabolism, and fatty acid β-oxidation pathways, leading to the accumulation of sarcosine, dimethylglycine, and various carnitine- and glycine-conjugated metabolites. Pathway mapping of these altered metabolites revealed that all the disrupted steps were catalyzed by enzymes in the primary flavoprotein dehydrogenase family, suggesting that inhibition of flavoprotein dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions may represent the mode of action for EGME-induced toxicity. Similar urinary and serum metabolite signatures are known to be the hallmarks of multiple acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency in humans, a genetic disorder because of defects in primary flavoprotein dehydrogenase reactions. We postulate that disruption of key biochemical pathways utilizing flavoprotein dehydrogenases in conjugation with downstream metabolic perturbations collectively result in the EGME-induced tissue damage.
