Abstract
Craniosynostosis is a serious condition of childhood, caused by the early fusion of the sutures of the skull. The resulting abnormal skull development can lead to severe deformities, increased intra-cranial pressure, as well as vision, hearing and breathing problems. In this work we develop a novel approach to accurately classify deformations caused by metopic and isolated sagittal synostosis. Our method combines a novel set of symbolic shape descriptors and off-the-shelf classification tools to model morphological variations that characterize the synostotic skull. We demonstrate the efficacy of our methodology in a series of large-scale classification experiments that contrast the performance of our proposed symbolic descriptors to those of traditional numeric descriptors, such as clinical severity indices, Fourier-based descriptors and cranial image quantifications.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play an important role in collagen deposition in diabetic cardiomyopathy. TRB3, a mammalian homolog of Drosophila tribbles, functions to increase glucose intolerance and regulates cell proliferation. We demonstrated that AGEs induce collagen type I expression but inhibit collagen type III expression, accompanied by increased TRB3 expression. Furthermore, the collagen type I induced byAGEs was down-regulated after inhibition of ERK and p38-MAPK, the collagen type III reduced by AGEs was up-regulated after inhibition of ERK. The expression of collagen types I and III regulated by AGEs through MAPK was partly reversed after treatment with TRB3 siRNA. It suggests that the TRB3/MAPK signaling pathway participates in the regulation of collagen types I and III by AGEs and may provide new therapeutic strategies for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Our previous studies indicate that reduction of lipocalin 2 (mouse 24p3) expression by either anti-sense or siRNA approaches strongly reduces the overgrowth of BCR-ABL+ mouse myeloid 32D in marrow and spleen of NOD/SCID mice. In this study, we used the mouse bone marrow transplant model to further explore the role of 24p3 in BCR-ABL-induced leukemia. Consistent with our previous findings, when using non-irradiated mice as recipient, donor marrow cells expressing BCR-ABL but lacking 24p3 did not cause leukemia or any disease after 75 days, whereas all mice receiving wild type BCR-ABL donor cells died with CML-like disease. An agar clone of the BCR-ABL+ human CML cell line K562 (C5) that secretes relatively high levels of lipocalin 2 (human NGAL) induced suppression of hematopoiesis in spleen and marrow of mice, leading to early death in contrast to parental K562 or K562 clone (C6) expressing low amounts of NGAL. Compared with K562 cells, overexpressing NGAL in K562 led to a higher apoptosis rate and an atrophy phenotype in the spleen of the inoculated mice. Plasma from both leukemic mice and CML patients showed elevated lipocalin 2 levels compared with healthy individuals. Moreover, we found that a primary stable cell line from wild-type mouse marrow cells expressing BCR-ABL caused solid tumors in nude mice whereas a similar BCR-ABL+ cell line from 24p3 null mice did not. These findings demonstrate that lipocalin 2 has at least two functions related to tumorigenesis, one involving apoptosis induction of normal hematopoietic cells and the other being tissue invasion by leukemia cells.

Abstract
The effect of rainbow trout plasma protein (RPP) on the gelation of Alaska pollock surimi was determined to evaluate the possibility of its commercialization as a new protein additive. For modori gel, the breaking force, deformation, whiteness, and water holding capacity increased as the addition amount of RPP (0 to 0.75 mg/g) increased, and decreased at higher concentration of RPP (0.75 to 1.50 mg/g) (P < 0.05). Protein solubility of modori gel in the mixture of SDS, urea, and beta-mercaptoethanol decreased as the addition amount of RPP increased up to 0.75 mg/g, and increased at higher concentration of RPP (0.75 to 1.50 mg/g) (P < 0.05). The contents of trichloroacetic acid-soluble peptide decreased as the addition amount of RPP (0 to 1.50 mg/g) increased (P < 0.05). Based on the result of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), most myosin heavy chain of surimi was not degraded when RPP was added. Thus, RPP was supposed to act as a protease inhibitor in the gelation of Alaska pollock surimi. An RPP of 0.75 mg/g was the optimal concentration to prevent the gel weakening of Alaska pollock surimi. Compounds with molecular weights less than 10 kDa in RPP had no significant effect on the gelation of Alaska pollock surimi based on the result of the dialyzed RPP.

Abstract
We examined whether thyroid hormones affect myocardial epsilon-PKC signalling, downstream target substrate, connexin-43 (Cx43) and arrhythmogenesis in non-diabetic and diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by a single streptozotocin injection (50mg/kg, i.v.). Triiodothyronine (T(3)) was applied by gavage (1microg/kg of body weight for 10 days) to 4 weeks and 9 weeks diabetic and age-matched non-diabetic rats. Western blot analysis of Cx43 and epsilon-PKC, immunofluorescence of Cx43, ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes and myocardial conduction velocity were performed. Isolated perfused heart preparation was used to test ventricular fibrillation susceptibility. T(3) significantly decreased epsilon-PKC expression in non-diabetic and suppressed in diabetic rat heart ventricles. Decline of epsilon-PKC signalling was associated with decrease of Cx43 phosphorylation in diabetic and to a greater extent in non-diabetic rat hearts. However, conduction velocity was significantly decreased in diabetic while enhanced due to T(3) and increased in non-diabetic T(3)-treated rat heart ventricles compared to non-treated. T(3)-induced down-regulation of Cx43 was associated with increased cardiac propensity to ventricular fibrillation. Findings indicate that activation of epsilon-PKC signalling linked with phosphorylation of Cx43 is one of the mechanisms involved in the adaptation of the heart to hyperglycemia. Suppression of epsilon-PKC and Cx43 phosphorylation by T(3) abolish benefit of adaptation rendering the heart prone to lethal arrhythmias.

Abstract
A case of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma (LMS) in a 38-year-old woman who had a tumor in the retroperitoneum with severe hypertension and hypokalemia is presented. Further investigation revealed an elevated serum aldosterone and norepinephrine level. After tumorectomy, the levels of serum aldosterone and norepinephrine successfully normalized; hypertension and hypokalemia were also cured. The tumor was diagnosed as being a LMS by pathologic examination. We suggested that this was the first case of retroperitoneal LMS shown to be associated with increased levels of serum aldosterone and norepinephrine.

Abstract
Inhibitor of growth 1 (ING1) is implicated in oncogenesis, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. Mutations within the ING1 gene and altered expression levels of ING1 are found in multiple human cancers. Here, we show that both DNA repair and apoptotic activities of ING1 require the interaction of the C-terminal plant homeodomain (PHD) finger with histone H3 trimethylated at Lys4 (H3K4me3). The ING1 PHD finger recognizes methylated H3K4 but not other histone modifications as revealed by the peptide microarrays. The molecular mechanism of the histone recognition is elucidated based on a 2.1 A-resolution crystal structure of the PHD-H3K4me3 complex. The K4me3 occupies a deep hydrophobic pocket formed by the conserved Y212 and W235 residues that make cation-pi contacts with the trimethylammonium group. Both aromatic residues are essential in the H3K4me3 recognition, as substitution of these residues with Ala disrupts the interaction. Unlike the wild-type ING1, the W235A mutant, overexpressed in the stable clones of melanoma cells or in HT1080 cells, was unable to stimulate DNA repair after UV irradiation or promote DNA-damage-induced apoptosis, indicating that H3K4me3 binding is necessary for these biological functions of ING1. Furthermore, N216S, V218I, and G221V mutations, found in human malignancies, impair the ability of ING1 to associate with H3K4me3 or to induce nucleotide repair and cell death, linking the tumorigenic activity of ING1 with epigenetic regulation. Together, our findings reveal the critical role of the H3K4me3 interaction in mediating cellular responses to genotoxic stresses and offer new insight into the molecular mechanism underlying the tumor suppressive activity of ING1.

Abstract
We have examined the changes of intercellular electrical coupling protein connexin-43 (Cx43) and of PKC-epsilon in heart atria of diabetic rats and/or after the treatment with triiodothyronine (T(3)). Diabetes was induced in Wistar-Kyoto rats by streptozotocin (50 mg/kg, i.v.) and atria were examined after 5 (acute stage) and 10 (chronic stage) weeks. T(3) (10 microg/100 g/day) was applied via a gastric tube for the last 10 days prior to the end of the experiments to non-diabetic and to the half of diabetic rats. Expression and phosphorylated status of Cx43, as well as expression of PKC-epsilon, were analyzed by Western blots using mouse monoclonal anti-Cx43 and rabbit polyclonal anti-PKC-epsilon antibodies. We found that the Cx43 expression was significantly increased after the treatment with T(3) and in the acute diabetes. Both in diabetes and after T(3) treatment the phosphorylation of Cx43 isoforms was markedly suppressed compared to the non-diabetic and T(3)-untreated controls. Such a down-regulation was less pronounced in diabetic rats after the T(3)-treatment. The expression of atrial PKC-epsilon was increased in diabetic rats. This increase was suppressed after T(3) administration and the expression was decreased in T(3)-treated non-diabetic rats. We suggest that the reduced Cx43 phosphorylation in diabetic and hyperthyroid rats can deteriorate a cell-to-cell coupling and consequently facilitate a development of atrial tachyarrhythmia in diabetic or hyperthyroid animals.

Abstract
Traumatic dental injuries are widespread in the population and the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries among school children in different parts of the world varies from about 3% to 45%. Most injuries involve the anterior teeth, which may lead to eating restrictions, changes in physical appearance, speech defects and psychological impacts that affect the child's quality of life. A cross-sectional survey was carried out to investigate the prevalence, aetiology and types of injuries to permanent incisors among schoolchildren aged 10-14 years from Maseru, Lesotho. Upper and lower permanent incisors were examined for dental injuries. The prevalence of traumatic injuries to the permanent incisor teeth was 9.3% (13.3% boys and 6.3% girls). Significantly more boys than girls suffered injury. The most common type of injury was enamel fractures and most common cause was falls. Health promotion policies should aim to create an appropriate and safe environment for children. Soft playground surfaces, school-crossing patrols, marked zebra crossings and bicycle lanes would help create a safe environment. Speed limits for cars and the use of seat belts, air bags, special car seats for children and bicycle helmets should be enforced. Mouth guards should be used when playing sport, in particular contact sports. Education regarding the epidemiology of dental injuries and their prevention through health promotion may play a major role in reducing the prevalence of dental injury and avoiding the financial costs of treatment, especially in developing countries.

Abstract
The silkworm homeotic mutant E(kp) has a pair of rudimentary abdominal legs, called prolegs, in its A2 segment. This phenotype is caused by a single dominant mutation at the E(kp)-1 locus, which was previously mapped to chromosome 6. To explore the possible association of Hox genes with proleg development in the silkworm, a map-based cloning strategy was used to isolate the E(kp)-1 locus. Five E(kp)-1-linked simple sequence repeat markers on chromosome 6 were used to generate a low-resolution map with a total genetic distance of 39.5 cM. Four additional cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence markers were developed based on the initial map. The closest marker to E(kp)-1 was at a genetic distance of 2.7 cM. A high-resolution genetic map was constructed using nine BC1 segregating populations consisting of 2396 individuals. Recombination suppression was observed in the vicinity of E(kp)-1. Four molecular markers were tightly linked to E(kp)-1, and three were clustered with it. These markers were used to screen a BAC library. A single bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone spanning the E(kp)-1 locus was identified, and E(kp)-1 was delimited to a region less than 220 kb long that included the Hox gene abdominal-A and a non-coding locus, iab-4. These results provide essential information for the isolation of this locus, which may shed light on the mechanism of proleg development in the silkworm and possibly in Lepidoptera.
