Abstract
Complex landscapes including semi-natural habitats are expected to favour natural enemies thereby enhancing natural pest biocontrol in crops. However, when considering a large number of situations, the response of natural biocontrol to landscape properties is globally inconsistent, a possible explanation being that local agricultural practices counteract landscape effects. In this study, along a crossed gradient of pesticide use intensity and landscape simplification, we analysed the interactive effects of landscape characteristics and local pesticide use intensity on natural biocontrol. During 3 years, using a set of sentinel prey (weed seeds, aphids and Lepidoptera eggs), biocontrol was estimated in 80 commercial fields located in four contrasted regions in France. For all types of prey excepted weed seeds, the predation rate was influenced by interactions between landscape characteristics and local pesticide use intensity. Proportion of meadow and length of interface between woods and crops had a positive effect on biocontrol of aphids where local pesticide use intensity was low but had a negative effect elsewhere. Moreover, the landscape proportion of suitable habitats for crop pests decreased the predation of sentinel prey, irrespectively of the local pesticide use intensity for weed seeds, but only in fields with low pesticide use for Lepidoptera eggs. These results show that high local pesticide use can counteract the positive expected effects of semi-natural habitats, but also that the necessary pesticide use reduction should be associated with semi-natural habitat enhancement to guarantee an effective natural biocontrol.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pyostomatitis vegetan (PV) is often associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). OBSERVATION Two cases of PV are reported. Case number 1 is a 66-year-old patient treated with infliximab for ulcerative colitis (UC). He presented himself with rapidly progressing crusty, whitish, ulcerated lesions on his lips. Diagnosis of PV was made after biopsy. Regression of oral lesions was favourable with local application of dermocorticoids while continuing infliximab treatment. Case number 2 is a 20-year-old patient treated with infliximab for Crohn's disease (CD). She had cheilitis and angular cheilitis. Diagnosis of PV was made after biopsy. The evolution was favourable after treating with topical dermocorticoids. DISCUSSION PV is associated in 75% of the cases with IBD. The digestive check-up is systematic. Diagnostic delay is often noted. Topical dermocorticoids are the first line of therapy.

Abstract
The two SIBLING (Small Integrin Binding Ligand N-linked Glycoproteins), bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteopontin (OPN) are expressed in osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In mature BSP knockout (KO, -/-) mice, both bone formation and resorption as well as mineralization are impaired. OPN-/- mice display impaired resorption, and OPN is described as an inhibitor of mineralization. However, OPN is overexpressed in BSP-/- mice, complicating the understanding of their phenotype. We have generated and characterized mice with a double KO (DKO) of OPN and BSP, to try and unravel their respective contributions. Despite the absence of OPN, DKO bones are still hypomineralized. The SIBLING, matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein with ASARM motif (MEPE) is highly overexpressed in both BSP-/- and DKO and may impair mineralization through liberation of its ASARM (Acidic Serine-Aspartate Rich MEPE associated) peptides. DKO mice also display evidence of active formation of trabecular, secondary bone as well as primary bone in the marrow-ablation repair model. A higher number of osteoclasts form in DKO marrow cultures, with higher resorption activity, and DKO long bones display a localized and conspicuous cortical macroporosity. High bone formation and resorption parameters, and high cortical porosity in DKO mice suggest an active bone modeling/remodeling, in the absence of two key regulators of bone cell performance. This first double KO of SIBLING proteins thus results in a singular, non-trivial phenotype leading to reconsider the interpretation of each single KO, concerning in particular matrix mineralization and the regulation of bone cell activity.

Abstract
Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most lethal form of breast cancer that accounts for about 10% of breast cancer mortality annually in US. Poor prognosis is largely due to the high propensity of IBC tumors to develop distant metastasis that occurs directly from the gland epithelium and through lymphatic invasion in which dermal lymphatics are filled with tumor emboli. Owing to the complex metastatic process, the molecular basis of IBC aggressiveness is poorly understood, and no specific therapeutic target has been identified. Despite the lack of estrogen receptor α (ERα) in the majority of IBC tumors, estrogen may still play a role in these cancers through pathways that involve ERβ. Our tissue staining reveals expression of ERβ in more than 50% of IBCs that is reproduced in IBC cell lines. Furthermore, analysis of IBC datasets indicates correlation of receptor expression with good prognosis. We studied this association in preclinical models of IBC by knocking out ERβ in IBC cells. This promotes migration and invasion through cytoskeleton remodeling whereas re-expression of the receptor in knockout cells restores the cytoskeletal structure and migration to the levels of control cells. Consistent with increased migration, deletion of ERβ activates large gene networks of cell de-differentiation and cytokine synthesis that trigger tumor microenvironment responses to promote the motile phenotype of IBC cells. In contrast, ligands that activate the receptor inhibit signaling that contributes to metastasis in IBC. Analysis of an orthotopic xenograft model shows that IBC tumors lacking ERβ have higher propensity for metastasis compared with the ERβ-proficient tumors supporting the anti-metastatic activity of the receptor. Our findings point towards a role of ERβ in preventing distant metastases by inhibiting dissemination of IBC cells and maintaining the integrity of emboli. This function combined with distinct expression indicates the potential of ERβ to represent a unique prognostic marker and therapeutic target that can be utilized to repress IBC metastasis and eliminate its associated mortality.

Abstract
We present measurements of one-dimensional superconductor-semiconductor Coulomb islands, fabricated by gate confinement of a two-dimensional InAs heterostructure with an epitaxial Al layer. When tuned via electrostatic side gates to regimes without subgap states, Coulomb blockade reveals Cooper-pair mediated transport. When subgap states are present, Coulomb peak positions and heights oscillate in a correlated way with magnetic field and gate voltage, as predicted theoretically, with (anti)crossings in (parallel) transverse magnetic field indicating Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling. Overall results are consistent with a picture of overlapping Majorana zero modes in finite wires.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare open simple prostatectomy, endoscopic enucleation and laparoscopic, robot-assisted enucleation of high-volume prostate in terms of operation time, blood loss, transfusion and complication rates and early continence rates. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with BPH treated endoscopically (ThuVEP, Hamburg and Hannover) or robotically (Mainz) were evaluated prospectively for prostate size, free flow and validated questionnaires (IPSS, QoL). 35 patients were matched to patients after open prostatectomy (Mainz) for age, prostate size, IPSS and QoL scores. Operation time was noted from the first cut to the last suture; blood loss was estimated by the drop of haemoglobin preoperatively and one day after surgery. Transfusion rates were documented. Early continence was estimated by pad use over the first 24 h after catheter removal. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0. RESULTS No significant differences in prostate size, age and preoperative questionnaires were found (p > 0.3). Postoperative flow and the results of the questionnaires were significantly improved (all p < 0.05), without difference between the approaches (p > 0.8). Endoscopic surgery showed superiority in operation time (both p < 0.05); blood loss and transfusion rates were significantly lower compared to open surgery (both p < 0.01) and lower than in robotic surgery without reaching significance (p = 0.18, p = 0.36). Similar results were seen in early continence rates. CONCLUSION Due to our results, endoscopic surgery should be considered as first-line therapy unless there are comorbidities like diverticula and/or bladder calculi that can be easily treated simultaneously by robotic surgery. Against the background of these findings, indications favouring open surgery are getting sparse.

Abstract
Background: Obesity is the largest preventable risk factor for cancer in the UK after smoking. Being overweight as an adult is linked to 13 types of cancer, and overweight children are more likely to become overweight adults. Routine data shows that around one in three children leave primary school in the UK (aged 12) overweight or obese, with the children from the most deprived communities twice as likely to be so. Cancer Research UK is campaigning for restrictions on the marketing of foods high in salt sugar and fat (HFSS foods) to children as part of a comprehensive population level strategy to prevent obesity-related cancers in the future. Aim: To undertake a mixed methods program of research aimed at building a body of evidence to directly inform policy to address childhood obesity. Methods: Individual studies included: a national cross-sectional survey to investigate obesity and cancer awareness in the UK adult population; a modeling study to predict future obesity-related cancer cases; and qualitative and quantitative studies to explore obesity-linked behaviors and exposure to HFSS marketing in children. A narrative synthesis of results from individual studies was conducted to identify key themes and develop recommendations for policy. Results: Cancer was not at the forefront of people's minds when thinking about obesity, with only 26% of UK adults reporting (unprompted) awareness of the link. However, results from modeling identified that the projected impact of obesity on cancer is high: if current trends continue it will lead to a further 670,000 cases in the UK over the next 20 years. Qualitative research identified a high awareness of junk food marketing in children aged 8-19. This influenced their behavior using a variety of persuasive marketing techniques, including catchy slogans and jingles, celebrity endorsements or by referencing youth culture. Logistic regression modeling associated commercial TV screen time with an increased risk of high junk food consumption (OR 1.8, P = 0.002). Furthermore, recalling one extra broadcast advert predicted a significant increase in HFSS consumption, approximately 18,000 extra calories/person/year. Conclusion: These linked studies have informed Cancer Research UK's campaign on obesity, and results have been used to inform work with the media, coalition building and influencing. Findings that HFSS food marketing influenced children's consumption behaviors were published on the charity's lobbying day in parliament where the research was discussed with almost 170 members of parliament. To achieve further HFSS marketing restrictions, research evidence is essential to making the case for policy change and this approach from a large UK cancer charity could inform similar efforts in other countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies on the putative role of allergy in the aetiology of childhood leukaemia have reported contradictory results. The present study aimed to analyse the relation between a medical history of asthma or eczema and childhood acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) in light of potential candidate gene-environment interactions. METHODS Analyses were based on a subset of 434 cases of ALL and 442 controls successfully genotyped and of European ancestry children enrolled in a French population-based case-control study conducted in 2003-2004. Information about medical history was obtained during a standardized interview with the mothers. Candidate polymorphisms in genes of the Th2 cytokines IL4, IL10, IL13 and IL4-receptor, were genotyped or imputed. RESULTS None of the variant alleles were directly associated with childhood acute lymphoid leukaemia. A medical history of asthma or eczema was reported more often in the control group (OR = 0.7 [0.5-1.0]). This association was mostly seen in the group of children not carrying the IL13-rs20541 variant allele (Interaction Odds Ratio IOR 1.9, p-interaction = 0.07) and in those carrying the IL10 triple variant haplotype (IOR 0.5, p-interaction = 0.04). No interaction was observed with the candidate polymorphisms in IL4 and IL4R. CONCLUSION This study provides a new insight into the relationship between allergic symptoms and childhood acute lymphoid leukaemia, by suggesting this inverse association could be limited to children carrying certain genetic polymorphisms. If confirmed, these results could help better understand the biological mechanisms involved in the development of childhood acute lymphoid leukaemia.

Abstract
We report the observation of spin-to-charge current conversion in strained mercury telluride at room temperature, using spin pumping experiments. We show that a HgCdTe barrier can be used to protect the HgTe from direct contact with the ferromagnet, leading to very high conversion rates, with inverse Edelstein lengths up to 2.0±0.5 nm. The influence of the HgTe layer thickness on the conversion efficiency is found to differ strongly from what is expected in spin Hall effect systems. These measurements, associated with the temperature dependence of the resistivity, suggest that these high conversion rates are due to the spin momentum locking property of HgTe surface states.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) poses a large health burden globally. Research indicates that men experience a range of psychological challenges associated with PCa including changes to identity, self-esteem and body image. The ways in which sexual orientation plays a role in the experience of PCa, and the subsequent impact on quality of life (QoL), body image and self-esteem have only recently been addressed. By addressing treatment modality, where participant numbers were sufficient, we also sought to explore whether gay (homosexual) men diagnosed with PCa (PCaDx) and with a primary treatment modality of surgery would report differences in body image and self-esteem compared with straight (heterosexual) men with PCaDx with a primary treatment modality of surgery, compared with gay and straight men without PCaDx. The results of our study identified overall differences with respect to PCaDx (related to urinary function, sexual function and health evaluation), and sexual orientation (related to self-esteem), rather than interactions between sexual orientation and PCaDx. Gay men with PCaDx exhibited higher levels of urinary functioning than straight men with PCaDx, the difference being reversed for gay and straight men without PCaDx; but this result narrowly failed to achieve statistical significance, suggesting a need for further research, with larger samples.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of carotid ultrasound (CU) to predict coronary atherosclerosis in asymptomatic male marathon runners. A total of 49 male marathon runners older than 45 years (mean age 53.3 ± 7.2 years, range 45-74 years) received CU and cardiac CT angiography (CTA) including calcium scoring (CS). Results of CU and CTA were classified binary: 1. Absence of atherosclerosis and 2. Presence of atherosclerosis. The extent of atherosclerosis was not primary end point of the study. Mean PROCAM score was 2.3% (SD 2.2, range 0.44%-12.34%). One person had to be excluded from analysis (one missing CT-scan). From the remaining 48 marathon runners, 17 (35.4%) had carotid atherosclerosis and 22 (45.8%) coronary atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis in either exam was diagnosed in 27/48 (56.3%) marathon runners. Diagnostic accuracy of CU to predict coronary atherosclerosis was: sensitivity 54.55% (95% CI 32.2-75.6), specificity 80.8% (CI 60.6-93.4), positive predictive value 70.6 (CI 44.1-89.9), negative predictive value 67.7 (CI 48.6-83.3) with a positive likelihood ratio of 2.84 (CI 1.18-6.82) and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.56 (CI 0.34-0.92). Coronary and/or carotid atherosclerosis can be detected in more than 50% of male marathon runners aged older than 45 years. The diagnostic value of carotid ultrasound to predict coronary atherosclerosis is low but higher than the accuracy of rest- or stress-ECG. As outcome studies in sportsmen are still missing, the routine evaluation of the carotid arteries by ultrasound or even cardiac CT cannot be recommended at present. Furthermore, the incidence of atherosclerosis by our method in normal population is not known.

Abstract
Actual and perceived safety of male and female in-patients in an inner-city psychiatric hospital were examined. Using semi-structured interviews, 59 inpatients were asked to report on their direct experiences of physical or sexually threatening behaviour towards them during their admission. Of the sample, 75% reported unwanted physical or sexual experiences: female patients were significantly more likely than males to report sexual harassment. Most incidents were not reported to staff and both staff and patients appeared to perceive the ward environment as safe despite fairly high levels of verbal and physical aggression. This study has implications for the way that ‘violent incidents' in psychiatric hospitals are defined and recorded and raises questions about the provision of women-only space in hospitals.

Abstract
Proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by α-, β- and γ-secretases is a determining factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Imbalances in the activity of all three enzymes can result in alterations towards pathogenic Aβ production. Proteolysis of APP is strongly linked to its subcellular localization as the secretases involved are distributed in different cellular compartments. APP has been shown to dimerize in cis-orientation, affecting Aβ production. This might be explained by different substrate properties defined by the APP oligomerization state or alternatively by altered APP monomer/dimer localization. We investigated the latter hypothesis using two different APP dimerization systems in HeLa cells. Dimerization caused a decreased localization of APP to the Golgi and at the plasma membrane, whereas the levels in the ER and in endosomes were increased. Furthermore, we observed via live cell imaging and biochemical analyses that APP dimerization affects its interaction with LRP1 and SorLA, suggesting that APP dimerization modulates its interplay with sorting molecules and in turn its localization and processing. Thus, pharmacological approaches targeting APP oligomerization properties might open novel strategies for treatment of AD.
