Abstract
A system for identifying equine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotypes was developed based on five polymorphic microsatellites located within the MHC region on ECA 20. Molecular signatures for 50 microsatellite haplotypes were recognized from typing 353 horses. Of these, 23 microsatellite haplotypes were associated with 12 established equine leucocyte antigen (ELA) haplotypes in Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds. Five ELA serotypes were associated with multiple microsatellite subhaplotypes, expanding the estimates of diversity in the equine MHC. The strong correlations between serological and microsatellite typing demonstrated a linkage to known MHC class I protein polymorphisms and validated this assay as a useful supplement to ELA serotyping, and in some applications, a feasible alternative method for MHC genotyping in horse families and in population studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Suicide is a leading cause of death, particularly among young adults. The rapid growth of social media and its heavy use by young adults presents new challenges and opportunities for suicide prevention. Social media sites are commonly used for communicating about suicide-related behavior with others, which raises the possibility of using social media to help prevent suicide. However, the use of social media varies widely between different suicide prevention advocates. The role this type of intervention should play in a community's overall suicide prevention strategy remains a matter of debate. AIM Explore the ways in which stakeholders use social media for suicide prevention and assess their views about the potential utility of social media as a suicide prevention tool. METHODS A 12-week stakeholder consultation that involved the online administration and completion of surveys by 10 individuals who conduct research about suicide and social media, 13 organizations that use social media for suicide prevention purposes, and 64 users of social media. RESULTS Social media was seen as a useful means of delivering a range of suicide prevention activities. Respondents reported that the key benefits of social media were the opportunity to obtain emotional support from others, to express one's feelings, to talk to others with similar problems, and to provide help to others. The social media site believed to hold most potential for delivering suicide prevention activities was Facebook. There were concerns about potential risks of social media, but respondents felt the potential benefits outweighed the risks. CONCLUSIONS Social media was recognized by different types of stakeholders as holding potential for delivering suicide prevention activities. More research is required to establish the efficacy and safety of potential social media-based interventions and ethical standards and protocols to ensure that such interventions are delivered safely need to be developed and implemented.

Abstract
Depression causes significant distress, disability and cost within the UK. Behavioural activation (BA) is an effective single-strand psychological approach which may lend itself to brief training programmes for a wide range of clinical staff. No previous research has directly examined outcomes of such dissemination. A 5-day training course for 10 primary care mental health workers aiming to increase knowledge and clinical skills in BA was evaluated using the Training Acceptability Rating Scale. Depression symptom level data collected in a randomized controlled trial using trainees were then compared to results from meta-analysis of studies using experienced therapists. BA training was highly acceptable to trainees (94.4%, SD 6%). The combined effect size of BA was unchanged by the addition of the results of this evaluation to those of studies using specialist therapists. BA offers a promising psychological intervention for depression that appears suitable for delivery by mental health nurses following brief training.

Abstract
Changes in the inbreeding coefficient, F, in the Thoroughbred horse over the past 45 years have been investigated by genotyping 467 Thoroughbred horses (born between 1961 and 2006) using the Illumina Equine SNP50 bead chip, which comprises 54,602 SNPs uniformly distributed across the equine genome. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient, r, between the year of birth and F was estimated. The results indicate that inbreeding in Thoroughbreds has increased over the past 40 years, with r = 0.24, P < 0.001 demonstrating that there is a highly significant, though relatively weak correlation between the year of birth and inbreeding coefficients. Interestingly, the majority of the increase in inbreeding is post-1996 and coincides with the introduction of stallions covering larger numbers of mares.

Abstract
Inflammatory damage to the digital laminae, a structure responsible for suspension of the distal skeleton within the hoof capsule, results in a painful and often life-threatening disease in horses called laminitis. There can be many diverse causes of laminitis; however, previous work in the horse has suggested that in each case, the inflammation and resulting tissue damage is consistent with the action of mediators released from mast cells (MC), as well as the downstream consequences of their activation. The recent development of molecular genetics tools to characterize cells based on their transcriptional activity makes a new approach for measuring MCs possible. Healthy thoroughbred horses from a variety of age groups were used to assess the amount of variation in KIT (encoding mast cell growth factor receptor) and TPSB2 (encoding mast cell tryptase beta 2) gene expression present in the population and to establish "normal" values. Horses (n=9) with a wider range of body condition scores (3-8), because of a more lax management setting that could predispose them to laminitis, had significantly higher KIT expression in circulating peripheral blood cells than horses under individualized management conditions (n=10) that produced ideal body condition scores (4-6) (mean 2.573-fold, P<0.0005). Likewise, horses affected with acute laminitis (n=11) had elevated expression of TPSB2 (2.760-fold, P=0.0011) relative to control horses (n=15). These data suggest that investigation of MC-related genes KIT and TPSB2 may be effective to assay MC population and activity. More work is needed to refine the diagnostic criteria to better describe at what point MC activation occurs and illustrate the use of gene expression assays in clinical cases of laminitis. Additionally, MC activation is associated with inflammatory disease in several mammalian species and may prove a valuable therapeutic target in the horse.

Abstract
1. Extracts of Pseudomonas sp. grown on butane-2,3-diol oxidized glyoxylate to carbon dioxide, some of the glyoxylate being reduced to glycollate in the process. The oxidation of malate and isocitrate, but not the oxidation of pyruvate, can be coupled to the reduction of glyoxylate to glycollate by the extracts. 2. Extracts of cells grown on butane-2,3-diol decarboxylated oxaloacetate to pyruvate, which was then converted aerobically or anaerobically into lactate, acetyl-coenzyme A and carbon dioxide. The extracts could also convert pyruvate into alanine. However, pyruvate is not an intermediate in the metabolism of glyoxylate since no lactate or alanine could be detected in the reaction products and no labelled pyruvate could be obtained when extracts were incubated with [1-(14)C]glyoxylate. 3. The (14)C was incorporated from [1-(14)C]glyoxylate by cell-free extracts into carbon dioxide, glycollate, glycine, glutamate and, in trace amounts, into malate, isocitrate and alpha-oxoglutarate. The (14)C was initially incorporated into isocitrate at the same rate as into glycine. 4. The rate of glyoxylate utilization was increased by the addition of succinate, alpha-oxoglutarate or citrate, and in each case alpha-oxoglutarate became labelled. 5. The results are consistent with the suggestion that the carbon dioxide arises by the oxidation of glyoxylate via reactions catalysed respectively by isocitratase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase.

Abstract
The Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System (LEAPS) converts a peptide containing a T cell epitope as small as 8 amino acids into an immunogen and directs the nature of the subsequent response. Tandem synthesis of the J peptide (a peptide from the beta-2-microglobulin) with peptides of 15 or 30 amino acids from HSV-1 or HIV made them immunogenic and promoted Th1 immune responses. Immunization of A/J or C57BL/6 mice with J-LEAPS heteroconjugates containing an epitope from the HSV-1 glycoprotein D (JgD) or an epitope from the HIV gag protein (JH) emulsified with Seppic ISA51 induced increased levels of IL-12p70 by day 3 and increased levels of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) on days 10 and 24. Interestingly, levels of IL-10, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 did not change. Neither the H nor the gD peptides alone elicited responses and only weak responses followed immunization with the J peptide. Bone marrow (BM) cells became CD86 and CD11c positive within 48 h of treatment with JgD or JH. JH or JgD treatment promoted IL-12p70 production and expression of CD8 denoting the maturation and activation of a subclass of myeloid DCs. Pure cultures of immature myeloid DCs also responded to JgD treatment, forming clusters, developing dendrites, and producing IL-12p70 within 24 h. The JH or JgD treated bone marrow cells (JgD-DC) were necessary and sufficient to activate splenic T cells to produce IFN-gamma and the JgD-DC provided an antigen specific booster response to T cells from JgD immunized mice. Adoptive transfer of JgD-DC was also sufficient to initiate protective antigen specific immunity from lethal challenge with HSV-1. The J-LEAPS vaccines appear to act as an adjuvant and immunogen on DC precursors in a unique manner to promote activation and maturation into IL-12p70 producing DCs which then can initiate sufficient Th1 immune responses to elicit protection without production of acute phase cytokines.

Abstract
Three schemes for assessing stuttering were compared. They differed with respect to whether they included whole-word repetitions as characteristics more typical of stuttering. Persistent and recovered groups of children were examined to see whether: (1) one of the schemes differentiated the groups better than others; (2) more and less typical of stuttering characteristics changed over ages in different ways for the groups; and (3) the changes over ages of more and less typical of stuttering classes depended on word type. Twenty-six children who stuttered were classified as persistent or recovered and recorded at three ages between 8-12+ years. Stuttering characteristics were obtained according to the three schemes. The results show: (1) All schemes distinguished persistent, from recovered, children. (2) The proportion of less typical of stuttering characteristics increased and more typical of stuttering characteristics decreased over age for recovered children for all three schemes (there was no change for persistent children). (3) The increased proportion of less typical of stuttering characteristics for the recovered children across age was more apparent for one-syllable content words than one-syllable function words.
