Abstract
The synthesis of 1-monoacylglycerols of selected unsaturated fatty acids and their antimicrobial and cytotoxicity activity is reported in the present study. The monoacylglycerols of fatty acids like undecenoic, oleic, linoleic and erucic acids were prepared by chemical esterification with solketal followed by deprotection. Fatty acids like alpha linolenic, gamma linolenic and ricinoleic acids were initially isolated from natural sources and further enriched in their respective methyl ester forms. The monoacylglycerols of ricinoleic and linolenic acid methyl esters were prepared by enzymatic transesterification with solketal using lipase from Candida antarctica followed by deprotection. The synthesized 1-monoacylglycerols were purified and characterized by spectral studies. The antimicrobial activity revealed that the monoacylglycerol of gamma linolenic acid was the most effective antibacterial followed by the monoacylglycerols of undecenoic and alpha linolenic acids. In the cytotoxicity assay against five cell lines, all the monoacylglycerols exhibited moderate activity but the activity was best against MCF7 Human Breast Adenocarcinoma cell lines.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: Despite data from multiple randomized trials, the role and uptake of internal mammary nodal irradiation (IMNI) is variable. This study was designed to quantify the rates and determinants of IMNI at a tertiary cancer centre.
Methods: Treatment records of consecutively treated breast cancer (BC) patients receiving adjuvant locoregional (LR) radiotherapy (RT) from January 1, 2012 to October 31, 2017 was studied. LR-RT and use of IMNI as a function of clinicopathological factors, use of deep inspiratory breath-hold (DIBH) and dosimetric parameters were retrieved. Patients were divided into two groups:Group1 received LR-RT that included the IMN's, supraclavicular (SCLV) ± axillary regions,Group2 received LR-RT directed only to the SCLV±axillary areas. For the purpose of utilization analysis and temporal trends, early(2012-2015) and late(2016-2017) cohorts were examined based on the year of RT delivery. To determine if the use of IMNI was dependent on BC risk, we defined 3 risk categories:1) pT1/2, N0); 2)pT1/2, N1; and 3) pT3/4, N2/3 disease. Differences between the risk categories and groups were evaluated using chi-square/ Fisher's and Mann Whitney test for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to determine factors associated with the receipt of IMNI.
Results:A total of 1566 patients met eligibility (Group 1=376; Group 2=1190). Of these patients, the percentage receiving LR-RT remained constant (17%) over the study period but the proportion of patients receiving IMNI increased significantly each year (p<0.0001), and was higher in the late vs. early treatment cohort (55% vs 8%, p<0.0001).On univariable analysis, younger age, LVI positivity, medial/central location, increasing stage, PR negativity, mastectomy, axillary dissection ,receipt of chemotherapy and increasing number of positive nodes had higher odds of receiving IMNI. Radiation oncologists with < or ≥5 years of practice was predictive of IMNI (31.3% vs 20.5%, p<0.0001),staff having <5years in practice being more likely to recommend IMNI. The distribution of patients in the different risk categories was similar between Groups 1 and 2 (p=0.097), and identified that the majority of patients receiving IMNI were in risk category 2(83%). Further comparison of risk categories suggested that the odds of receiving IMNI was lower in risk category 3 vs. category 1 (p=0.033). On multivariable analysis, decreasing age age (p=<0.001) , medial quadrant(p=0.0026),PR negative(p=0.0011), mastectomy(p=0.0055) , increasing nodal positivity (p<0.0001)and late RT cohort (p=0.001) had increased odds of IMNI. Overall use of DIBH was significantly higher in those receiving IMNI (45% vs 26%, p<0.0001). Mean heart (2.2vs1.7Gy, p<0.0001) and total lung doses (7.8vs6.6Gy,p<0.0001) were also significantly higher with IMNI.
Conclusion: There was a significant increase in utilization of IMNI from 2012 to 2017. Younger age, medial location, PR negativity and increasing number of positive nodes predicted for receipt of IMNI. Staff with<5years in practice were more likely to recommend LR-RT that included the IMNs. The use of DIBH significantly increased with IMNI and allowed for acceptable dosimetric constraints.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) fertilizer represents a significant cost for the grower and may also have environmental impacts through nitrate leaching and N2O (a greenhouse gas) emissions associated with denitrification. The objectives of this study were to quantify the genetic variability in N-use efficiency (NUE) in Indian spring wheat cultivars and identify traits for improved NUE for application in breeding. Twenty eight bread wheat cultivars and two durum wheat cultivars were tested in field experiments in two years in Maharashtra, India. Detailed growth analysis was conducted at anthesis and harvest including dry matter (DM) and N partitioning. Senescence of the flag leaf was assessed from a visual score every 3-4 days from anthesis to complete flag-leaf senescence and fitted against thermal time to estimate the onset and end of post-anthesis senescence. Grain yield (GY) was reduced under low N (LN) by an average of 1.46 t ha-1 (-28%). Significant N × genotype level interaction was observed for grain yield and NUE. Above-ground N uptake at harvest was reduced from 162 kg N ha-1 under high N (HN) to 85 kg N ha-1 under low N (LN) conditions, while N-utilization efficiency (grain DM yield per unit crop N uptake at harvest; NUtE) increased from 32.7 to 44.6 kg DM kg-1 N. Genetic variation in GY under LN related mainly to variation in N uptake at harvest rather than NUtE; and the N × genotype effect for GY was mainly explained by the interaction for N uptake at harvest. Averaging across years, the linear regression of onset of flag-leaf senescence on GY amongst cultivars was significant under both HN (R2 0.16. p < 0.05) and LN (R2 0.21, p < 0.05) conditions. Onset of flag-leaf senescence was positively associated with N uptake at anthesis under HN (R2 0.34, p < 0.001) and LN (R2 0.22, p < 0.01) conditions. Flag-leaf senescence timing was not associated with post-anthesis N uptake. It is concluded that increased N accumulation at anthesis was correlated with flag-leaf senescence timing and that N accumulation at anthesis is an important trait for enhancing grain yield and NUE of wheat grown under low to moderate N supply in India.

Abstract
Abstract
The precursor of the human microRNA hsa-miR-6855-3p is a 5-tailed mitronic pre-miRNA that is coded by intron #13 of the deubiquitinase USP20 gene. Our preliminary data suggest that the biosynthesis of this miRNA is upregulated by oxidative stress in the SLUG-high metastatic breast cancer cells, promoting DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) through the indirect enhancement of BRCA2 gene expression. We found that miR-6855-3p favors BRCA2 biosynthesis through the enhancement of the level of an alternately translated form of the BRCA2 gene enhancer protein SPRDX5. We hypothesize that BRCA2 gene silencer acts as a scaffolding to co-recruit SLUG and SPRDX5 and promote SPRDX5-mediated oxidative inactivation of the BRCA2 negative regulator protein SLUG. Here, we present evidence that (a) the expression of miR-6855-3p is essential for the expression of BRCA2 in the SLUG-high metastatic breast cancer cells; (b) knockdown of miR-6855-3p affects DSBR in these cells; and (c) the miR-6855-3p knocked-down cells are susceptible to the synthetic lethality by the PARP inhibitors. Our study reveals a novel mechanism of regulation of BRCA2 gene expression in the aggressive breast cancer cells, offering an alternative strategy to chemically intervene in the progression of hard-to-cure, highly aggressive SLUG-high breast cancer. We propose that the inhibition of miR-6855-3p will induce BRCA2 deficiency in the BLBC cells, thus increasing their susceptibility to standard chemotherapy as well as to PARP inhibitors as has been described for other BRCA2-deficient cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Permanent neonatal diabetes caused by mutations in the KCNJ11 gene may be managed with high-dose sulfonylureas. Complete transfer to sulfonylureas is not successful in all cases and can result in insulin monotherapy. In such cases, the outcomes of combining sulfonylureas with insulin have not been fully explored. We present the case of a woman with diabetes due to a KCNJ11 mutation, in whom combination therapy led to clinically meaningful improvements. CASE A 22-year-old woman was found to have a KCNJ11 mutation (G334V) following diagnosis with diabetes at 3 weeks. She was treated with insulin-pump therapy, had hypoglycaemia unawareness and suboptimal glycaemic control. We assessed the in vitro response of the mutant channel to tolbutamide in Xenopus oocytes and undertook sulfonylurea dose-titration with C-peptide assessment and continuous glucose monitoring. In vitro studies predicted the G334V mutation would be sensitive to sulfonylurea therapy [91 ± 2% block (n = 6) with 0.5 mM tolbutamide]. C-peptide increased following a glibenclamide test dose (from 5 to 410 pmol/l). Glibenclamide dose-titration was undertaken: a lower glibenclamide dose did not reduce blood glucose levels, but at 1.2 mg/kg/day insulin delivery was reduced to 0.1 units/h. However, when insulin was stopped, hyperglycaemia ensued. Glibenclamide was further increased (2 mg/kg/day), but once-daily long-acting insulin was still required to maintain glycaemia. This resulted in improved HbA1c of 52 mmol/mol (6.9%), restoration of hypoglycaemia awareness and reduced glycaemic variability. CONCLUSION In people with KCNJ11 mutations causing permanent neonatal diabetes, and where complete transfer is not possible, consideration should be given to dual insulin and sulfonylurea therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal lymphomas are the commonest nonepithelial malignancies of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. They may spread from their site of origin in nasal cavity and invade adjacent structures including orbits leading to varying presentation and a diagnostic dilemma. CASE A-77- year old Nepalese male presented with swelling of left eye since 1 month and pain in the same eye since 2 days. OBSERVATION Examination revealed axial proptosis, swelling of lids, restricted extraocular movement, diffuse conjunctival and ciliary congestion with chemosis. Visual acuity was grossly decreased. The case was diagnosed as left orbital cellulitis and treated with broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics and oral steriods. There was no response despite 3 days of antibiotics and steroids therefore a computed tomography was planned which showed features of Sinonasal malignancy invading the orbit. Repeated biopsy was suggestive of malignant small round cell tumour. In the view of unclear preoperative biopsy indicating further details on the histologic type of tumor and extensive erosion of maxilla with complete loss of vision in the eye the patient was planned for Total Maxillectomy with Orbital extenteration of the left orbit. Post-operative histopathological and Immunohistochemical report were suggestive of High grade Lymphoma. The patient was advised for Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy, which the patient refused due to financial constraints. He is on occasional follow up since the last 6 months. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of maxillary sinus lymphoma needs to be borne in mind when a clinician encounters a case of Orbital Cellulitis. It may be difficult to diagnose clinically and require radio-pathological correlation.

Abstract
Untethered miniature robotics have recently shown promising results in several scenarios at the microscale, such as targeted drug delivery, microassembly, and biopsy procedures. However, the vast majority of these small-scale robots have very limited manipulation capabilities, and none of the steering systems currently available enable humans to intuitively and effectively control dexterous miniaturized robots in a remote environment. In this paper, we present an innovative micro teleoperation system with haptic assistance for the intuitive steering and control of miniaturized self-folding soft magnetic grippers in 2-D space. The soft grippers can be wirelessly positioned using weak magnetic fields and opened/closed by changing their temperature. An image-guided algorithm tracks the position of the controlled miniaturized gripper in the remote environment. A haptic interface provides the human operator with compelling haptic sensations about the interaction between the gripper and the environment, as well as enables the operator to intuitively control the target position and grasping configuration of the gripper. Finally, magnetic and thermal control systems regulate the position and grasping configuration of the gripper. The viability of the proposed approach is demonstrated through two experiments involving 26 human subjects. Providing haptic stimuli elicited statistically significant improvements in the performance of the considered navigation and micromanipulation tasks. Note to Practitioners-The ability to accurately and intuitively control the motion of miniaturized grippers in remote environments can open new exciting possibilities in the fields of minimally-invasive surgery, micromanipulation, biopsy, and drug delivery. This paper presents a micro teleoperation system with haptic assistance through which a clinician can easily control the motion and open/close capability of miniaturized wireless soft grippers. It introduces the underlying autonomous magnetic and thermal control systems, their interconnection with the master haptic interface, and an extensive evaluation in two real-world scenarios: following of a predetermined trajectory, and pick-and-place of a microscopic object.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent literature suggests that neonatal adiposity is predictive of later metabolic health, while neonatal lean mass is predictive of later cognitive function amongst preterm infants. Anthropometric indices that accurately reflect neonatal body composition could improve clinical care and aid future research, but their validity has not been systematically tested in preterm infants. OBJECTIVE To determine the weight/length indices that best reflect neonatal body composition in preterm infants. METHODS Weight and length were measured, and body composition (fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM) and percent body fat (%BF)) was assessed using air-displacement plethysmography within 72 h of birth in 218 preterm infants. The best weight/length proxy for FFM, FM and %BF were those with the highest proportion variance explained (R2 ) and lowest root mean square error (RMSE) in linear regression models. RESULTS Among all of the weight/length indices tested, weight/length2 was the best proxy for %BF, but nonetheless exhibited very low variance explained (R2 = 0.27) and high prediction error (RMSE = 3.5% fat). Body weight unadjusted for length was strongly associated with FFM (R2 = 0.97). CONCLUSIONS No weight/length index accurately reflected %BF. Weight/length indices are not appropriate for assessment of relative adiposity in preterm infants near birth. What's known on this subject: Compared with term infants, preterm infants have increased fat mass and diminished fat-free mass upon hospital discharge. Early adiposity predicts later metabolic health, while early lean mass is predictive of later neurodevelopmental outcomes. Optimal anthropometric proxies for preterm body composition at birth are not established. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS Weight is an adequate surrogate for lean mass at birth in preterm infants. There are no weight/length indices that accurately reflect neonatal adiposity at birth.

Abstract
Abstract
Radiation and chemotherapeutic agents eradicate tumors by inducing irreparable DNA damage. However, cancer cells often develop resistance to therapy by manipulating the DNA repair machinery. Conversely, a dividing cell constantly exposed to environmental and endogenous DNA damaging agents can transform into a tumor due to incorrect repair. Therefore the expression level of DNA repair proteins is critical both for cancer therapy and tumorigenesis. Our preliminary studies implied a unique mechanism involving an miRNA miR-6855-3p that promotes the biosynthesis of the transcriptional regulator protein SPRDX5 which enhances the expression of the tumor suppressor protein BRCA2 leading to the genotoxin and radiation-resistance of aggressive SLUG-high basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) cells. The miRNA miR-6855-3p thus acts as a tumor suppressor miRNA (tsmiR). Interestingly, the gene for the miRNA miR-6855-3p is mitronic and is nested within the intron#13 of the USP20 gene which is a deubiquitinase. Thus, the transcription of miR-6855-3p gene is regulated through the USP20 gene promoter. We present evidence here that USP20 and miR-6855 gene transcriptions are up regulated by oxidative stress. Tert-butylhydroperoxide was used for oxidative stress. Under the oxidative stress conditions tested, NRF2 level and the levels of several NRF2-regulated proteins are increased, indicating activation of NRF2 in the stressed BLBC cells. Under the stress conditions the levels of USP20 and miR-6855-3p are increased significantly. Knockdown of NRF2 prevented stress-induced elevation of USP20 and miR-6855-3p RNA level in the BLBC cells indicating the involvement of NRF2 in this process. The binding of NRF2 to the USP20 gene promoter and its function were characterized by ChIP analysis, site-directed mutagenesis and using the promoter-luciferase reporter constructs. We conclude that the biosynthesis of the tsmiR miR-6855-3p in the BLBC cells is regulated by oxidative stress and involves NRF2. Since oxidative stress is a hallmark in the etiology and progression of metastatic breast cancer, understanding the redox regulation of a tsmiR that positively influences BRCA2 gene expression in the BLBC cells could be clinically significant.

Abstract
Human peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are a superfamily of six thiol<->dependent peroxidases that are able to reduce hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite. Apart from the classical, apparently redundant function of mitochondrial and often peroxisomal peroxide neutralization shared by other peroxiredoxins, PRDX5 was initially discovered as a DNA binding transcriptional repressor regulating the biosynthesis of cytotoxic Alu RNAs through a mitochondrial<->localization signal<->truncated mature form (SPRDX5] of this protein that is accumulated in the nucleus and binds to a 60 bp nucleotide sequence at the Alu gene promoters. Our data suggest that SPRDX5 also binds to the Alu<->sequence<->containing BRCA2 gene silencer to prevent the binding of SLUG at the silencer thus enhancing the BRCA2 gene expression leading to the genotoxin and radiation<->resistance of aggressive SLUG<->high basal<->like breast cancer cells. PRDX5 mRNA contains two in<->frame start codons (AUGs) that are conditionally used as alternate translation initiation sites. Translation from the first AUG would result in the synthesis of a larger 214<->residue protein (LPRDX5) whereas the use of the second AUG would result in the production of a shorter 162<->residue polypeptide (SPRDX5). Since SPRDX5 lacks the mitochondrial localization signal, it is accumulated in the nucleus via its C<->terminal bipartite nuclear localization signal. We present evidence here that a miRNA, miR<->6855<->3p, binds the primary PRDX5 transcript between the two AUG codons and prevents the translation of the mRNA from the first AUG codon but not that from the second AUG codon thus favoring the initiation of translation from the second AUG codon. To characterize the effect of miR<->6855<->3p on Prdx5 mRNA translation, we developed three different PRDX5<->FLAG constructs in pCV3XFLAG14 (Sigma) that has Prdx5 ORF with or without mutation on the first or second AUG codon. Transfection of these constructs into BT549 cells followed by treatments with miR<->6855<->3p mimic or antagomiR and subcellular fractionation further supported our notion. We propose here that miR<->6855<->3p acts as a tsmiR by promoting the biosynthesis of the transcriptional regulator protein SPRDX5 which enhances the expression of the tumor suppressor protein BRCA2 leading to the genotoxin and radiation<->resistance of aggressive SLUG<->high basal<->like breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) therapy has emerged as a potential therapy for the treatment of stroke. We performed a systematic review of published studies using BM-MNC therapy in patients with ischaemic stroke (IS). Literature was searched using MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, Trip Database, Cochrane library and clinicaltrial.gov to identify studies on BM-MNC therapy in IS till June, 2016. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers. STATA version 13 was used for carrying out meta-analysis. We included non-randomized open-label, single-arm and non-randomized comparative studies or randomized controlled trials (RCTs) if BM-MNCs were used to treat patients with IS in any phase after the index stroke. One randomized trial, two non-randomized comparative trials and four single-arm open-label trials (total seven studies) involving 227 subjects (137 patients and 90 controls) were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled proportion for favourable clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale score ≤2) in six studies involving 122 subjects was 29% (95% CI 0.16-0.43) who were exposed to BM-MNCs and pooled proportion for favourable clinical outcome of 69 subjects (taken from two trials) who did not receive BM-MNCs was 20% (95% CI 0.12-0.32). The pooled difference in the safety outcomes was not significant between both the groups. Our systematic review suggests that BM-MNC therapy is safe up to 1 year post-intervention and is feasible; however, its efficacy in the case of IS patients is debatable. Well-designed randomized controlled trials are required to provide more information on the efficacy of BM-MNC transplantation in patients with IS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer most commonly presents in advanced stages in developing countries, where combined modality treatment using chemo-radiotherapy (CTRT) is the standard of care. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective audit of patients of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated at a single Institute from January 2008 to December 2012 was conducted. Various prognostic factors affecting disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were studied by univariate and multivariate analysis. All patients were meticulously followed-up clinically and telephonic contacts. RESULTS Overall 171 patients of NSCLC were treated with definitive CTRT using concurrent chemotherapy in 66% patients and sequential therapy in 28% patients. The actuarial 2 years DFS was 17.5% and 2 years OS was 61.5%. Complete response to treatment resulted in significantly better DFS and OS. Definitive CTRT was very well-tolerated in these patients with good compliance. CONCLUSION Definitive CTRT, sequence being individualized depending on performance status and disease stage at presentation, is a feasible and effective treatment modality for locally advanced NSCLC patients in the developing world. Response to treatment is an important prognostic factor for treatment outcomes.

Abstract
COX-2 inhibitors exhibit anticancer effects in various cancer models but due to the adverse side effects associated with these inhibitors, targeting molecules downstream of COX-2 (such as mPGES-1) has been suggested. Even after calls for mPGES-1 inhibitor design, to date there are only a few published inhibitors targeting the enzyme and displaying anticancer activity. In the present study, we have deployed both ligand and structure-based drug design approaches to hunt novel drug-like candidates as mPGES-1 inhibitors. Fifty-four compounds with tested mPGES-1 inhibitory value were used to develop a model with four pharmacophoric features. 3D-QSAR studies were undertaken to check the robustness of the model. Statistical parameters such as r2 = 0.9924, q2 = 0.5761 and F test = 1139.7 indicated significant predictive ability of the proposed model. Our QSAR model exhibits sites where a hydrogen bond donor, hydrophobic group and the aromatic ring can be substituted so as to enhance the efficacy of the inhibitor. Furthermore, we used our validated pharmacophore model as a three-dimensional query to screen the FDA-approved Lopac database. Finally, five compounds were selected as potent mPGES-1 inhibitors on the basis of their docking energy and pharmacokinetic properties such as ADME and Lipinski rule of five.

Abstract
Abstract
Our objective is to verify the hypothesis that c-Myc-regulated oncomiR miR-130a-5p suppresses the level of the RNA-binding tumor suppressor protein ZAR2 in the cMyc-high aggressive breast cancer cells. We experimentally validated the binding of miR130a-5p miRISC to ZAR2 mRNA in vivo and inhibition of the translation of this mRNA by this binding. We used three commercially available c-Myc-high ZAR2-low breast cancer cell lines BT549, MDA-MB-453 and MDA-MB-231 and two c-Myc-low ZAR2-high breast cancer cells MCF7 and HCC38 for our studies. We cloned the full length 3′-UTR (179 bp) of human ZAR2 mRNA immediately downstream of the firefly luciferase open reading frame sequence contained in the reporter plasmid. We also have created different mutants of the 3’-UTR, each having mutation in each of the putative miR130a-5p binding sites. We transiently transfected the recombinant plasmid and miR130a-5p miRNA mimic into breast cancer cells and assessed luciferase activity or fluorescence 24-48 hours after transfection. We also have transfected just the reporter construct into breast cancer cells which express the endogenous miR130a-5p miRNAs, along with vectors which express mutant versions of the miRNA binding sites. In this experimental system the wild-type reporters had less activity than their respective mutants. To evaluate the functional importance of miR130a-5p miRNA/ZAR2 mRNA pair, we transiently over-expressed a miR130a-5p miRNA mimic in the cMyc-low breast cancer breast cancer cells and subsequently analyzed the level of ZAR2 protein levels. Our data showed that ZAR2 protein levels are decreased by the mimic increasing the in vitro invasiveness of these cells. Our results thus reveal a novel mechanism for the induction of aggressiveness by cMyc in the breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Statin plays a major role in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Inconsistent findings in the studies have been observed toward the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using higher dose of statin. To examine this issue, we performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the association between higher dose of various statins and risk of ICH among patients with CVD. Literature was searched for studies published before June 10, 2015, using electronic database 'PubMed', 'EMBASE', and 'Google Scholar' as well as from many trial databases. The following search terms were used: 'Statin therapy' AND 'Cardiovascular Disease', AND 'Dose' AND 'Intracerebral hemorrhage', AND 'Randomized Controlled Trials' AND 'High Dose Statin'. High dose of statins was defined as atorvastatin 80 mg, simvastatin 80 mg, pravastatin 40 mg, rosuvastatin 20 mg per day. Fixed-effect model was used to estimate the risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) if heterogeneity was <50%; otherwise, random-effect model was used. Begg's funnel plot was used to assess the publication bias. Seven RCTs involving 31,099 subjects receiving high-dose statin and 31,105 subjects receiving placebo were analyzed in our meta-analysis. A significant risk of ICH was observed in subjects with higher dose of statin (RR = 1.53; 95% CI: 1.16-2.01; P = 0.002). There was no difference in all-cause mortality between the two groups (RR = 0.95; 95% CI: 0.86-1.06; P = 0.36). No publication bias was observed through Begg's funnel plot. Higher dose of statins was found to be associated with the risk of ICH. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
NF-κB has been implicated in mechanisms promoting inflammation in tumor microenvironment leading to breast cancer metastasis. Owing to critical role of CCL2 during metastasis, particularly in its capacity to act as a chemoattractant for macrophages and their precursors i.e monocytes, we decided to explore if pro-metastatic function of NF-κB could be attributable to CCL2 and/or macrophage infiltration. Through our study we provide experimental and clinical evidence in support of co-ordinated expression of chemokines CCL2, NF-κB and intratumoral macrophage content particularly with respect to breast cancer, with an additional evidence of these three variables being key determinant for poor prognosis and diminished survival amongst breast cancer patients both independently as well in a coordinated manner. The mean fold increase in mRNA expression level of NF-κB and CCL2 indicated that it was over expressed 13.57 and 13.18 fold respectively in tumor tissue as compared to adjacent normal tissue. Among these Immunohistochemistry expression of CD68 marker showed that 62 patients (66.7%) had low/moderate CD68 expression while 31 patients (33.3%) had strong expression. All three variables viz.NF-κB, CCL2 and CD68 showed significant (p<0.05 or p<0.01 or p<0.001) respectively associations with both clinicopathological (except CD68 with stage) and hormone receptors (ER, PR and Her2/neu) and their co-expressions indicating these as predictors of breast cancer. In this study we decipher the possible molecular mechanism by way of which NF-κB may promote breast cancer metastasis. Our study has clinical relevance as it establishes significance of these three variables as potential predictive markers to be employed in breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies reported prognostic value of biomarker in intracerebral hemorrhagic (ICH) but they are either preliminary observation or inadequately powered to analyse independent contribution of biomarkers over and above clinical and neuroimaging data. OBJECTIVE To examine whether the biomarker can significantly add to the predictive accuracy of prognosis of ICH. METHOD/DESIGN In a multi-centric prospective cohort study, 1020 patients with ICH within 72 hours of onset are being recruited. After obtaining written informed consent from patients/proxy, venous blood sample (10 ml) is being collected and analysed for C-reactive protein (CRP) level, S100B, Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Troponin, change in leukocyte count and Copeptin levels. The patients are telephonically followed using stroke scales (Barthel Index and modified Rankin Scale) at 3, 6, 12 months and 2 years after the recruitment. DISCUSSION This protocol will aim at predicting the short term or long term prognosis with the use of clinical, neuroimaging and biomarkers in order to help clinician to stratify patients for early referral or intervention.

Abstract
Abstract
ZAR2 is C4-type zinc-finger protein that we found to suppress the growth of breast tumor cells. In the dividing breast cancer cells ZAR2 is primarily located in the cytosol. It probably inhibits the growth of the tumor cells through sequence-specific capture and degradation of certain mRNAs which are critical for the growth of the cells. We found that the level of ZAR2 protein is significantly lower in the highly aggressive breast cancer cells of the triple negative subtype (TNBC). Forced expression of ZAR2 in the TNBC cells prevented the proliferation and invasiveness of these cells. Major objective of the research presented here is to understand the mechanism of suppression of ZAR2 level in the TNBC cells. As ZAR2 mRNA levels are very similar in the TNBC and non-TNBC cells, we postulated that ZAR2 protein levels are down-regulated in the TNBC cells due to the induction of a ZAR2-targeting miRNA in these cells. We used computational prediction to identify potential microRNAs down-regulating ZAR2 in the TNBC cells. One of the major miRNAs that is predicted by DIANA-Tools (http://diana.imis.athena-innovation.gr/DianaTools/index.php?r = MicroT_CDS/index) to target ZAR2 mRNA is hsa-miR-130a-5p. We found that the level of miR-130a-5p in the TNBC cells is inversely related to the level of ZAR2 protein in the TNBC cells. We validated the binding of miR130a-5p miRISC to several specific locations at the 3′-UTR of ZAR2 mRNA and the inhibition of translation of ZAR2 mRNA by this miRNA. We propose that targeted knockdown of miR130a-5p in the TNBC cells will elevate the level of ZAR2 protein resulting in the inhibition of the growth of these cells.

Abstract
Milk-derived bioactive peptides have been identified as potential ingredients of health-promoting functional foods. These bioactive peptides are targeted at diet-related chronic diseases especially the non-communicable diseases viz., obesity, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Peptides derived from the milk of cow, goat, sheep, buffalo and camel exert multifunctional properties, including anti-microbial, immune modulatory, anti-oxidant, inhibitory effect on enzymes, anti-thrombotic, and antagonistic activities against various toxic agents. Majority of those regulate immunological, gastrointestinal, hormonal and neurological responses, thereby playing a vital role in the prevention of cancer, osteoporosis, hypertension and other disorders as discussed in this review. For the commercial production of such novel bioactive peptides large scale technologies based on membrane separation and ion exchange chromatography methods have been developed. Separation and identification of those peptides and their pharmacodynamic parameters are necessary to transfer their potent functional properties into food applications. The present review summarizes the preliminary classes of bioactive milk-derived peptides along with their physiological functions, general characteristics and potential applications in health-care.

Abstract
We show that a scanning capacitance microscope (SCM) can image buried delta-doped donor nanostructures fabricated in Si via a recently developed atomic-precision scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) lithography technique. A critical challenge in completing atomic-precision nanoelectronic devices is to accurately align mesoscopic metal contacts to the STM defined nanostructures. Utilizing the SCMs ability to image buried dopant nanostructures, we have developed a technique by which we are able to position metal electrodes on the surface to form contacts to underlying STM fabricated donor nanostructures with a measured accuracy of 300 nm. Low temperature (T = 4 K) transport measurements confirm successful placement of the contacts to the donor nanostructures.

Abstract
Ketone measurement is advocated for the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis and assessment of its severity. Assessing the evidence base for ketone measurement in clinical practice is challenging because multiple methods are available but there is a lack of consensus about which is preferable. Evaluating the utility of ketone measurement is additionally problematic because of variability in the biochemical definition of ketoacidosis internationally and in the proposed thresholds for ketone measures. This has led to conflicting guidance from expert bodies on how ketone measurement should be used in the management of ketoacidosis. The development of point-of-care devices that can reliably measure the capillary blood ketone β-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) has widened the spectrum of applications of ketone measurement, but whether the evidence base supporting these applications is robust enough to warrant their incorporation into routine clinical practice remains unclear. The imprecision of capillary blood ketone measures at higher values, the lack of availability of routine laboratory-based assays for BOHB and the continued cost-effectiveness of urine ketone assessment prompt further discussion on the role of capillary blood ketone assessment in ketoacidosis. In the present article, we review the various existing methods of ketone measurement, the precision of capillary blood ketone as compared with other measures, its diagnostic accuracy in predicting ketoacidosis and other clinical applications including prevention, assessment of severity and resolution of ketoacidosis.

Abstract
Abstract
ZAR2 is a recently characterized RNA-dependent transcriptional repressor protein that is implicated in the cell cycle-dependent regulation of BRCA2 gene expression. We have shown previously that ZAR2 mRNA is transcribed from the overlapping bi-directional promoter of the BRCA2 gene, binds to the overlapping promoter and prevents the expression of BRCA2 through chromatin remodeling. ZAR2 level is significantly low in the invasive breast cancer cells and tissues as compared to the non-invasive cells. Knockdown of ZAR2 in the non-invasive breast cancer cells increased the in vitro invasiveness of these cells whereas forced expression of ZAR2 in the invasive breast cancer cells prevented their invasiveness. To understand the possible mechanism of ZAR2-mediated regulation of invasiveness of the breast cancer cells we studied differential gene expression in the ZAR2 knocked down non-invasive breast cancer cells by RNA-seq analysis. One of the genes that are significantly elevated in the ZAR2 knocked down cells is the invasion determining enzyme ATP6V0A4. ATP6V0A4 is transcribed from an overlapping bi-directional promoter along with its partner TMEM213 in the breast cancer cells. We found that both ATP6V0A4 and TMEM213 levels are increased in the ZAR2 knocked down cells whereas cells with forced expression of ZAR2 have a significant decrease in the levels of these proteins. ZAR2 cell cycle dependently binds to the ATP6V0A4/TMEM213 gene promoter to repress the activity of this bi-directional promoter. This study thus reports a new pathway for the regulation of the invasiveness of breast cancer cells. Supported in part by DOD grants BC990678 and BC050641 to GC and NIH grant 1U54RR026140 to SM.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), represent a major subpopulation of tumor infiltrating immune cells. These alternatively activated M2-polarized macrophages are well known for their pro-tumor functions. Owing to their established role in potentiating tumor-neovasculogenesis and metastasis, TAMs have emerged as promising target for anti-cancer immunotherapy. One of the key TAMs related phenomenon that is amenable to therapeutic intervention is their phenotype switching into alternatively activated M2-polarized macrophages. Hindering macrophage polarization towards a pro-tumor M2 phenotype, or better still reprogramming the M2 like TAMs towards M1 subtype is being considered a beneficial anti-cancer strategy. Hypoxic tumor milieu has been proposed as one of the most plausible factor governing M2-polarization of macrophages. We recently demonstrated that hypoxic tumor cells imparted a pro—angiogenic M2 skewed phenotype to macrophages. Furthermore, sizeable body of data indicates for participation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in macrophage polarization. Concordantly, inhibition of COX-2 is associated with impaired macrophage polarization. Prompted by this in the current study we decided to explore if inhibition of COX-2 activity via chemical inhibitors may prevent hypoxic cancer cell induced M2-polarization of macrophages. We observed that treatment with Flunixin meglumine, an established preferential inhibitor of COX-2 activity markedly inhibited hypoxic cancer cell induced of M2-polarization of macrophages thereby indicating for usage of COX-2 inhibition as possible anti-cancer treatment modality.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of the surgical repair of oral mucosal defects using cryopreserved human amniotic membrane (HAM) as a graft material. Thirty-four patients with precancerous lesions such as leukoplakia, erythroplakia, and verrucous hyperplasia were included. Fresh amniotic membrane was obtained from women undergoing elective caesarean section; the membrane was cleaned, prepared in antibiotic solutions, and preserved at -80°C. Results suggested that HAM promotes healing and epithelialization without specific complications. Thus we conclude that the use of HAM gives promising results in the repair of post-surgical oral mucosal defects.
