Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) after ischaemic necrosis of the femoral head in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) has not been adequately studied in humans, especially in Indian population. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the serum levels of VEGF-A in Indian children with various stages of LCPD and compare them with those of an age- and sex-matched control group of healthy children. METHODS In this case-control study, we enrolled 42 children (below 14 years age) suffering from LCPD and 21 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Patients were classified radiographically according to Waldenstrom's classification. Serum VEGF-A was estimated by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. The serum values were compared between the patient group and the control group, as well as between the Waldenstrom subgroups. Results were expressed as means with ranges or median with interquartile range. RESULTS The mean age in the patient as well as the control group was 9 years (range 4-13 years). The median value (interquartile range) of serum VEGF-A was 162.5 pg/ml (673.75 pg/ml) in the patient group and 652 pg/ml (190.5 pg/ml) in the control group (p = 0.013). When compared between lower Waldenstrom stages (initial stage + stage of fragmentation) and higher Waldenstrom stages (re-ossification stage + stage of healing), the mean values of serum VEGF-A were 464.7 pg/ml (range 0-2211 pg/ml) and 301.1 pg/ml (range 0-1910 pg/ml), respectively (p = 0.305). CONCLUSIONS VEGF is under-expressed in Indian children suffering from LCPD. As VEGF acts as a key regulator of endochondral ossification, our finding may open new therapeutic approaches to the disease. Also, serum VEGF may act as a valuable marker for the follow-up of the disease. Our study also provides baseline data about serum VEGF-A levels in Indian cohort of LCPD patients. Future multi-centre studies are warranted with a larger sample size to fully appreciate the patho-physiological changes in VEGF occurring in LCPD.

Abstract
Terrestrial orchids depend on orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) as symbionts for their survival, growth and nutrition. The ability of OMF from endangered orchid species to compete for available resources with OMF from common species may affect the distribution, abundance and therefore conservation status of their orchid hosts. Eight symbiotically effective OMF from endangered and more common Caladenia species were tested for their ability to utilise complex insoluble and simple soluble carbon sources produced during litter degradation by growth with different carbon sources in liquid medium to measure the degree of OMF variation with host conservation status or taxonomy. On simple carbon sources, fungal growth was assessed by biomass. On insoluble substrates, ergosterol content was assessed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The OMF grew on all natural materials and complex carbon sources, but produced the greatest biomass on xylan and starch and the least on bark and chitin. On simple carbon sources, the greatest OMF biomass was measured on most hexoses and disaccharides and the least on galactose and arabinose. Only some OMF used sucrose, the most common sugar in green plants, with possible implications for symbiosis. OMF from common orchids produced more ergosterol and biomass than those from endangered orchids in the Dilatata and Reticulata groups but not in the Patersonii and Finger orchids. This suggests that differences in carbon source utilisation may contribute to differences in the distribution of some orchids, if these differences are retained on site.

Abstract
The July phenomenon refers to a change in patient outcomes within teaching hospitals with the arrival of new and inexperienced house staff at the start of the academic year (July to June). In our obstetric triage unit we retrospectively evaluated the door to disposition time (DTDT) for 1817 patients who presented across July, December and May of academic years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. DTDT was examined for three visit levels: non-urgent, urgent and emergent. No significant differences in disposition time were found for emergent visits. For urgent visits the median DTDT significantly decreased from 171 min in July to 155 min in December and 135 min in May (p < 0.001). Similarly for non-urgent visits, the median DTDT was greater during July than May (179 min vs. 133 min; p < 0.05). Electronic medical records (EMRs) were implemented in November 2010. Following the introduction of EMR shorter DTDT was seen in December 2010 versus December 2009 (median, 171 min vs. 150 min; p < 0.05), respectively. Our findings suggest a 'July Phenomenon' of greater disposition intervals for urgent and non-urgent obstetric triage visits across the academic year. Additionally the use of EMRs may facilitate patient flow through the OB triage unit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of autoantibody negative systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to identify the clinical correlates thereof. METHODS Clinical data and sera from 874 SSc subjects were collected and autoantibodies were tested in a central laboratory using 1) indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), 2) commercially available ELISA, addressable laser bead immunoassay (ALBIA), and line immunoassay (LIA), and 3) a sensitive immunoprecipitation (IP) assay. RESULTS Fifteen (15; 1.7%) subjects were autoantibody negative by IIF, ELISA, ALBIA, LIA and IP, and 16 (1.8%) were antinuclear antibody (ANA) positive by IIF but otherwise negative by ELISA, ALBIA, LIA and IP. Thirty-seven (37; 4.2%) were ANA positive by IIF, autoantibody negative by commercially available immunoassays, but had autoantibodies identified by IP (including Th/To in 20). Autoantibody-negative subjects had generally less severe disease than positive subjects. CONCLUSIONS Autoantibody-negative SSc is rare (<2%) and appears to be associated with a favourable prognosis.

Abstract
Polymorphism of interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5), a latent transcription factor gene has been associated with various auto-immune diseases. Our aim was to study the IRF5rs2004640 gene polymorphism and its association with disease susceptibility, disease phenotype and treatment response in South Indian Tamil patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).The study was conducted on 217 RA patients fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2010 criteria and 482 healthy controls (HCs) without family history of autoimmune disease. The IRF5rs2004640 genotyping was performed using a TaqMan 5' allelic discrimination assay. We found that the IRF5rs2004640T allele [P < 0.0001, odds ratio (OR) 3.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.55-4.12] and TT genotype (P < 0.0001, OR 4.60, 95% CI 3.23-6.57) were significantly more frequent in RA patients as compared with HCs. No association was found between IRF5rs2004640 polymorphism, clinical manifestations, autoantibody profile and treatment response. IRF5rs2004640 T (mutant) allele may be a susceptibility factor conferring risk for RA in South Indian Tamils, whereas G allele (wild type) may be protective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe proportionate mortality and causes of death unrelated to pregnancy. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Rural northwest Bangladesh. POPULATION A cohort of 133,617 married women of reproductive age. METHODS Verbal autopsies were conducted for women who died whilst under surveillance in the cohort trial. Physician-assigned causes of death based on verbal autopsies were used to categorise deaths. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The proportion of deaths due to non-communicable diseases, infectious diseases, injury or pregnancy. RESULTS Of the 1107 deaths occurring among women between 2001 and 2007, 48% were attributed to non-communicable diseases, 22% to pregnancy, 17% to infections, 9% to injury and 4% to other causes. CONCLUSIONS Although focus on pregnancy-related mortality remains important, more attention is warranted on non-communicable diseases among women of reproductive age.

Abstract
Non-human primates (NHPs) are used to model human disease owing to their remarkably similar genomes, physiology, and immune systems. Recently, there has been an increased interest in modeling tuberculosis (TB) in NHPs. Macaques are susceptible to infection with different strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), producing the full spectrum of disease conditions, including latent infection, chronic progressive infection, and acute TB, depending on the route and dose of infection. Clearly, NHPs are an excellent model of human TB. While the initial aim of the NHP model was to allow preclinical testing of candidate vaccines and drugs, it is now also being used to study pathogenesis and immune correlates of protection. Recent advances in this field are discussed in this review. Key questions such as the effect of hypoxia on the biology of Mtb and the basis of reactivation of latent TB can now be investigated through the use of this model.

Abstract
Dengue viremia may be the trigger for immune complex formation in patients who are predisposed to developing autoimmune disease. We report a rare case of dengue virus infection evolving into systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of dengue fever evolving into lupus nephritis. A 22 year old female presented with having had high grade fever, skin rash, breathlessness, retro-orbital pain, abdominal pain, arthralgias and myalgias for 10 days. She tested positive for dengue immunoglobulin M (IgM). She was given supportive treatment and was subsequently discharged. Four weeks later she developed recurrent fever, arthralgia, rash and anasarca. She was suspected as having SLE with active lupus nephritis. Antinuclear antibody (ANA), and anti double stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (anti dsDNA) titers were positive and complements were low. Renal biopsy showed diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis grade IV. She was treated with steroids and immunosuppressants to which she responded. Dengue viremia incites antibody production, which if excessive causes deposition of viral antigen-antibody immune complexes. This could possibly lead to renal tubular damage and glomerulonephritis in susceptible individuals. Dengue fever leading to development of glomerulonephritis is rarely seen. Our patient developed dengue fever and after a month presented with manifestations of SLE and lupus nephritis. Both dengue fever and SLE have common manifestations of fever, arthralgia, rash, leucopenia with thrombocytopenia and serositis. Bacterial and viral infections may act as a 'trigger' for starting or relapsing lupus activity in genetically predetermined individuals. In our case it may be possible that dengue virus could have triggered a dysfunctional immune response, resulting in the developing of autoimmunity and SLE with lupus nephritis.

Abstract
1. The MHC class II gene was amplified, cloned and sequenced in guinea fowl. 2. The NumeMHC II sequence of 754 nucleotides included complete exon 1 (91 nt), exon 2 (270 nt), exon 3 (282 nt) and exon 4 (110 nt). 3. The size of β(1) and β(2), domains were 89 and 93 amino acids, respectively in guinea fowl. 4. High amino acid variability (38·2%) was observed within guinea fowl in β(1) domain, while in β(2) domain, amino acid variability (6·3%) was low. 5. Among poultry species, the percent amino acid identity between guinea fowl and chicken, quail, pheasant and duck was 38·8, 42·2, 44·4 and 58·8 in β(1) domain; and 13·8, 17·0, 13·8 and 27·6 in β(2) domain, respectively. 6. Sequence alignment with mammalian and avian MHC showed that many of the conserved features of MHC class II glycoprotein was conserved in guinea fowl. 7. Within-species genetic distances (Poisson correction) based on cumulative amino acid variability in β(1) domain and β(2) domains was 0·141 in guinea fowl. 8. Guinea fowl showed low and similar genetic distances with all the poultry species (0·255-0·268) except duck (0·456). 9. Guinea fowl made separate branch within the major cluster having chicken, quail and pheasant, showing equal distance from these poultry species, whereas duck MHC II clustered separately.

Abstract
UPLIFT (Understanding Potential Long-Term Improvements in Function with Tiotropium), a 4-yr trial of tiotropium in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, allowed for assessment of smoking status on long-term responses to maintenance bronchodilator therapy. 5,993 patients were randomised (tiotropium/placebo). Lung function, St George's Respiratory Questionnaire, exacerbations and adverse events were followed. Patients were characterised as continuing smokers (CS), continuing ex-smokers (CE), or intermittent smokers (IS) based on self-reporting smoking behaviour. 60%, 14% and 26% of patients were CE, CS and IS, respectively. The rate of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) decline for placebo patients was most rapid in CS (-52+/-4, -37+/2 and -23+/2 mL.yr(-1) in CS, IS, and CE, respectively). Tiotropium did not alter FEV(1) decline, but was associated with significant improvements in pre- and post-bronchodilator FEV(1) over placebo that persisted throughout the 4-yr trial for each smoking status (pre-bronchodilator: 127, 55 and 97 mL at 48 months in CS, IS and CE, respectively; p< or =0.0003). Tiotropium reduced exacerbation risk in CS (HR (95% CI) 0.80 (0.67-0.95)), in CE (0.85 (0.79-0.92)) and trended towards significance in IS (0.89 (0.79-1.00)). At 4 yrs, St George's Respiratory Questionnaire for tiotropium patients improved the most in CS (-4.63 units, p = 0.0006) and the least in IS (-0.60 units, p = 0.51), [corrected] compared with control. Tiotropium provided long-term benefits irrespective of smoking status, although differences among categories were observed.
