Abstract
AIM This study aims to identify clinical features, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors for relapse and survival in patients with testicular seminoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of all patients with pure seminoma treated at our center during over a decade (January 2005-December 2014) was carried out. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and treatment details and pattern of recurrence were recorded in a structured format, and disease-free survival and overall survival were calculated. RESULTS Sixty-three patients' case records were included in the analysis. Ten patients developed disease in the undescended testis. All patients underwent orchiectomy as the initial treatment procedure. Majority of the patients were Stage I (57.14%) followed by Stage II (39.6%). Among the patients with Stage I, 55.5% received adjuvant chemotherapy while 22.2% received adjuvant radiation and the rest opted for surveillance. The compliance for active surveillance was very poor. Among patients with Stage II disease, majority (80%) were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and the rest with radiation. At a median follow-up of 49 months, there were four recurrences of which three were salvaged successfully, and one patient remained alive with disease. There were no disease-related deaths. CONCLUSIONS Testicular seminoma remains to be relatively low and majority of them presented with Stage I disease and single agent carboplatin appeared to be the preferred adjuvant treatment. Advanced disease patients were treated with etoposide and cisplatin/bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy and the clinical outcome is comparable with the Western literature.

Abstract
The impact of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels on immune status in chronically HCV mono-infected when compared to HIV/HCV co-infected on antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains poorly understood. A total of 78 African American subjects HCV viraemic/naïve to HCV treatment (33 HCV genotype 1 mono-infected, 45 ART-treated HIV/HCV genotype 1 co-infected) were studied. Clinical and liver enzyme measurements were performed. Whole blood was analysed for immune subset changes by flow cytometry. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were used for same-day constitutive and in vitro Interferon (IFN)-α-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) phosphorylation, K562 target cell lysis and K562 target cell recognition-mediated IFN-γ production. Statistical analysis was performed using R (2.5.1) or JMP Pro 11. While both groups did not differ in the level of liver enzymes, HIV/HCV had higher T-cell activation/exhaustion, and constitutive STAT-1 phosphorylation compared to HCV. In contrast, CD4+ FoxP3+ CD25+ frequency, IFN-αR expression on NK cells, as well as constitutive and IFN-α-induced direct cytotoxicity were lower in HIV/HCV. Linear regression models further supported these results. Finally, increase in HCV viral load and CD4+ T-cell count had an opposite effect between the two groups on NK cell activity and T-cell activation, respectively. HCV viral load in ART-treated HIV/HCV co-infection was associated with greater immune activation/exhaustion and NK dysfunction than HCV viral load alone in HCV mono-infection. The more pronounced immune modulation noted in ART-treated HIV-co-infected/untreated HCV viraemic subjects may impact HCV disease progression and/or response to immunotherapy.

Abstract
We have developed a charge-coupled device (CCD) with 5 μm × 45 μm pixels on high-resistivity silicon. The fully depleted 200 μm-thick silicon detector is back-illuminated through a 10 nm-thick in situ doped polysilicon window and is thus highly efficient for soft through >8 keV hard X-rays. The device described here is a 1.5 megapixel CCD with 2496 × 620 pixels. The pixel and camera geometry was optimized for Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) and is particularly advantageous for spectrometers with limited arm lengths. In this article, we describe the device architecture, construction and operation, and its performance during tests at the Advance Light Source (ALS) 8.0.1 RIXS beamline. The improved spectroscopic performance, when compared with a current standard commercial camera, is demonstrated with a ∼280 eV (CK) X-ray beam on a graphite sample. Readout noise is typically 3-6 electrons and the point spread function for soft CK X-rays in the 5 μm direction is 4.0 μm ± 0.2 μm. The measured quantum efficiency of the CCD is greater than 75% in the range from 200 eV to 1 keV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is defined as having a preoccupation with a perceived flaw in one's appearance, which appears slight to others and significantly interferes with a person's functioning. When undetected in septorhinoplasty patients, it will often lead to poor outcomes. DESIGN We performed a prospective cohort study to determine the prevalence of BDD in our patients and whether surgical correction could be considered. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We recruited 34 patients being considered for septorhinoplasty in a tertiary referral rhinology clinic and a control group of 50 from the otology clinic giving a total of 84. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Participants completed the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire (BDDQ), the sino-nasal outcome test-23 (SNOT-23) and underwent nasal inspiratory peak flow (NIPF). Those found to be at high risk for BDD were referred to a clinical psychologist. RESULTS Of the septorhinoplasty patients, 11 (32%) were high risk for BDD. Following psychological assessment, 7 (63%) patients were felt to be unsuitable for surgery and were offered psychological therapy. SNOT-23 scores were significantly higher in the BDD group indicating a negative impact on quality of life. NIPF readings were not significantly different in the BDD group compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS The BDDQ is a valid tool for identifying patients at risk of BDD. A close working relationship with clinical psychology has been advantageous to help the selection process of candidates for surgery when there is a high risk of BDD.

Abstract
Novel copper complexes of Schiff base ligands of 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives were synthesized by the condensation of Knoevenagel condensate of acetoacetanilide (obtained from substituted benzaldehydes and acetoacetanilide) and 2-aminobenzothiazole. They were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR, UV-Vis., molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements and electrochemical studies. Based on the magnetic moment and electronic spectral data, square planar geometry has been suggested for all the complexes. Antibacterial and antifungal screening of the ligands and their complexes reveal that all the complexes show higher activities than the ligands. The binding behaviour of the complexes with calf thymus DNA has been investigated by electronic absorption spectra, viscosity measurements and cyclic voltammetry. The DNA binding constants reveal that all these complexes interact with DNA through intercalation binding mode. Superoxide dismutase and antioxidant activities of the copper complexes have also been studied. The antioxidant activities of the complexes showed higher activities. Thermal denaturation studies suggested the nature binding affinity of copper complexes with CT-DNA. All complexes exhibit suitable Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox potential to act as antioxidant enzymes mimic. Further, the copper complexes also showed catalase activity. It is hope that copper complexes were capable of decrease ROS levels or reduce oxidative stress in Alzheimer's patients.

Abstract
The ligand, N(2),N(3)-bis(3-nitrophenyl)quinoxaline-2.3-diamine was prepared by the condensation of quinoxaline-2.3(1,4H)-dione with 3-nitroaniline. It was treated with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) acetates to form the metal complexes. These were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moment, UV-Vis., IR, (1)H NMR, ESR and mass spectral data. Octahedral geometry has been assigned to Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes, whereas Cu(II) complex has distorted octahedral geometry. From the powder XRD data, crystallite size and unit cell parameters were calculated. The surface morphology of the synthesized compounds were determined using SEM analysis. The antimicrobial activity of the compounds against some bacterial species viz. Escherichiacoli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeuruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus; also the fungal species, Aspergillus niger, and Candida albicans were done by disc diffusion method. DNA binding, cleavage and super oxide anion scavenging activities were also evaluated. The DNA binding activity of the compounds were identified using electronic absorption titrations and DNA cleavage was determined using gel electrophoresis. The anticancer activities of the compounds against HeLa cell line were determined using MTT assay. The highly potent compound among the five against HeLa cell line is subjected to molecular docking study against human papilloma virus receptor molecule and ATP binding site of telomerase.
