Abstract
The objective of the study was to analyse leptin, IGF-1, Apo A, lipoproteins, haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in maternal sera and venous umbilical cord sera of newborn babies of 25 preeclamptics (group II), and 25 normotensive pregnant women (group I) as markers of obesity and growth in preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women. Apo A I and II levels were estimated by competitive immunoassay using direct chemiluminiscence technology. Haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1), leptin and IGF-1 were analysed by ELISA. Maternal and cord blood levels of homocysteine, folic acid, lipid profile (namely, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, VLDL-C and HDL-C), Haem oxygenase 1 were higher in preeclamptic women as compared to normotensive pregnant women. Serum and cord blood Apo A-I and Apo B, leptin levels, IGF-I were lower in preeclamptic women as compared to normotensive pregnant. The findings of high serum HO-1 levels in maternal and cord blood in preeclampsia supports the role of oxidative stress and excessive inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. It seems likely that IGF-1 and leptin play a central role in controlling foetal growth. There is increasing evidence that the foundations of life-long health are, in part, laid in the uterus. Findings of present study suggest that alterations in biochemical markers of growth and obesity occur in mothers and foetuses and modifications of uterine environment can be of help to prevent future cardiovascular risk. Impact statement Preeclampsia has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of later life cardiovascular disease. However, information regarding how obesity increases the risk of preeclampsia is limited. Atherogenic milieu occurring during pregnancy persists into adulthood and foetal growth retardation is strongly associated with adult atherosclerosis. There is conflicting evidence regarding alterations of IGFs in preeclamptic pregnancies and deficit in circulating and cord blood IGF-1 levels in intrauterine growth restricted newborns and a correlation between IGF-1 levels and birth weight have been reported. Leptin is a predictor of cardiovascular risk independent of insulin resistance. Emerging evidence supports an important role for the haem oxygenase system (HO-1) in the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy, especially during pathological challenge. Conflicting data are available regarding HO-1, leptin and IGF -1 in preeclamptic mothers. The extent to which they mediate foetal growth and developmental abnormalities remains to be clarified. Serum IGF-1 levels were significantly decreased in preeclamptics and maternal IGF-1 showed a strong inverse correlation with leptin levels. High serum HO-1 levels in maternal and cord blood in preeclampsia were observed in the present study. Findings of the present study suggest that alterations in biochemical markers of growth and obesity occur in mothers and foetuses and modifications of the uterine environment can be of help to prevent future cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
Results from single cell imaging, facilitated by high resolution microscopy, have demonstrated cell-to-cell variability within the same cell population in contexts ranging from cell growth to cell migration. Recent studies suggest that such variability conveys important information about diseased states. However, manual analysis and interpretation of heterogeneous calcium oscillation based on time-lapsed images, as practiced today, is tedious, and essentially infeasible for large datasets. As a practical alternative, we present an integrated platform that includes calcium imaging using confocal microscope, algorithmic cell segmentation, and statistical analysis. Automated quantification of cell crowding via cell segmentation and statistical analysis of cell-to-cell variability on a representative dataset indicates that the heterogeneity in GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) mediated calcium oscillation is a function of cell crowding.

Abstract
Cocaine addiction is a common problem in the adolescent and the young adults, pharmacologic interventions to reverse the effects of which do not exist. Neurological complications of cocaine abuse, such as seizures, headache, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, or subarachnoid hemorrhage, can be disastrous as a result of uncontrolled vasoconstriction and vasculitic damage. The lone occurrence of subdural hematoma in the absence of any other intracranial hemorrhagic complication is rarely seen in patients of cocaine abuse. We wish to share our experience of one such patient who presented to us with an unusual combination of the widespread cerebral infarction and subdural hematoma.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the target single-spin asymmetry, A(y), in quasielastic scattering from the inclusive reaction (3)He(↑)(e,e') on a (3)He gas target polarized normal to the lepton scattering plane. Assuming time-reversal invariance, this asymmetry is strictly zero for one-photon exchange. A nonzero A(y) can arise from the interference between the one- and two-photon exchange processes which is sensitive to the details of the substructure of the nucleon. An experiment recently completed at Jefferson Lab yielded asymmetries with high statistical precision at Q(2)=0.13, 0.46, and 0.97 GeV(2). These measurements demonstrate, for the first time, that the (3)He asymmetry is clearly nonzero and negative at the 4σ-9σ level. Using measured proton-to-(3)He cross-section ratios and the effective polarization approximation, neutron asymmetries of -(1-3)% were obtained. The neutron asymmetry at high Q(2) is related to moments of the generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Our measured neutron asymmetry at Q(2)=0.97 GeV(2) agrees well with a prediction based on two-photon exchange using a GPD model and thus provides a new, independent constraint on these distributions.

Abstract
New results are reported from a measurement of π^{0} electroproduction near threshold using the p(e,e^{'}p)π^{0} reaction. The experiment was designed to determine precisely the energy dependence of s- and p-wave electromagnetic multipoles as a stringent test of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). The data were taken with an electron beam energy of 1192 MeV using a two-spectrometer setup in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. For the first time, complete coverage of the ϕ_{π}^{*} and θ_{π}^{*} angles in the pπ^{0} center of mass was obtained for invariant energies above threshold from 0.5 up to 15 MeV. The 4-momentum transfer Q^{2} coverage ranges from 0.05 to 0.155 (GeV/c)^{2} in fine steps. A simple phenomenological analysis of our data shows strong disagreement with p-wave predictions from ChPT for Q^{2}>0.07 (GeV/c)^{2}, while the s-wave predictions are in reasonable agreement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the incidence and patient characteristics of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) in infants who were born to opioid addicted mothers and required NICU admission over the three year period. STUDY DESIGN From 2009 to 2011, data of infants admitted in WVUH NICU with history of maternal drug exposure were extracted and reviewed. Infants born to mothers treated with buprenorphine (BPN) and those with methadone (MTD) were compared. RESULTS Incidence of drug exposure infants significantly increased in 2011. BPN exposure infants increased substantially while the number of MTD exposure infants did not significantly change. Eighty-one percent of those MTD exposure infants required drug treatment for NAS compared to 26% of BPN exposure infants. CONCLUSION Significant increase in opioid exposure infants with NAS was observed in our unit in 2011. Although, the incidence of BPN exposure with NAS increased significantly, only 25% of them required drug treatment.

Abstract
We present a precise measurement of double-polarization asymmetries in the ^{3}He[over →](e[over →],e^{'}d) reaction. This particular process is a uniquely sensitive probe of hadron dynamics in ^{3}He and the structure of the underlying electromagnetic currents. The measurements have been performed in and around quasielastic kinematics at Q^{2}=0.25(GeV/c)^{2} for missing momenta up to 270 MeV/c. The asymmetries are in fair agreement with the state-of-the-art calculations in terms of their functional dependencies on p_{m} and ω, but are systematically offset. Beyond the region of the quasielastic peak, the discrepancies become even more pronounced. Thus, our measurements have been able to reveal deficiencies in the most sophisticated calculations of the three-body nuclear system, and indicate that further refinement in the treatment of their two-and/or three-body dynamics is required.

Abstract
Double-spin asymmetries and absolute cross sections were measured at large Bjorken x (0.25≤x≤0.90), in both the deep-inelastic and resonance regions, by scattering longitudinally polarized electrons at beam energies of 4.7 and 5.9 GeV from a transversely and longitudinally polarized (3)He target. In this dedicated experiment, the spin structure function g(2)((3)He) was determined with precision at large x, and the neutron twist-3 matrix element d(2)(n) was measured at ⟨Q(2)⟩ of 3.21 and 4.32 GeV(2)/c(2), with an absolute precision of about 10(-5). Our results are found to be in agreement with lattice QCD calculations and resolve the disagreement found with previous data at ⟨Q(2)⟩=5 GeV(2)/c(2). Combining d(2)(n) and a newly extracted twist-4 matrix element f(2)(n), the average neutron color electric and magnetic forces were extracted and found to be of opposite sign and about 30 MeV/fm in magnitude.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the target-normal single-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic scattering from the inclusive reaction 3)He(↑)(e,e')X on a polarized (3)He gas target. Assuming time-reversal invariance, this asymmetry is strictly zero in the Born approximation but can be nonzero if two-photon-exchange contributions are included. The experiment, conducted at Jefferson Lab using a 5.89 GeV electron beam, covers a range of 1.7<W<2.9 GeV, 1.0<Q(2)<4.0 GeV(2) and 0.16<x<0.65. Neutron asymmetries were extracted using the effective nucleon polarization and measured proton-to-(3)He cross-section ratios. The measured neutron asymmetries are negative with an average value of (-1.09±0.38)×10(-2) for invariant mass W>2 GeV, which is nonzero at the 2.89σ level. Our measured asymmetry agrees both in sign and magnitude with a two-photon-exchange model prediction that uses input from the Sivers transverse momentum distribution obtained from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering.

Abstract
Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-overexpressing (HER2+) breast cancer is an aggressive tumor. Despite the clinical success of anti-HER2 drugs such as lapatinib (L) and trastuzumab (T), intrinsic and acquired drug resistance occurs in many patients. Identification of novel drug targets in HER2+ breast cancer is an unmet clinical need. In this context, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) may be excellent drug targets because they cross-talk with the HER family members. However, the expression and function of the majority of GPCRs are unknown in HER2+ breast cancer. In a preliminary study, we examined the differential gene expression of GPCRs in anti-HER2 treatment-resistant derivatives as well as in the tumorigenic cell population, suggested to be involved in resistance, of a BT474 cell line model of HER2+ breast cancer. Anti-HER2 resistant derivatives of BT474 cells were established by long-term exposure of parental cells to increasing concentrations of L, T, or their combination (L+T). Tumorigenic cells were identified as aldehyde dehydrogenase-positive (ALDH+) cells using the Aldefluor assay. RNA was profiled using TaqMan real time RT-PCR GPCR 384-well microarray to quantify the expression of mRNA encoding 343 GPCRs. The publically available TCGA dataset was interrogated to determine differential mRNA expression of selected GPCRs in HER2+ and other subtypes of breast cancer. To determine the functional role of GPR110, BT474 cells were infected with lentiviral GPR110 construct (GPR110-OE) or empty vector (EV), and stable pools were obtained. Anchorage-dependent cell growth was evaluated using MTT cell proliferation assay over 8 days. Tumorigenic potential was determined by calculating the% of ALDH+ cells using Aldefluor assay and by evaluating the anchorage-independent cell growth using soft agar assay over 14 days. The influence of GPR110 overexpression on HER signaling pathway was investigated by measuring the levels of phosphorylated (active) and total protein levels of HER1 and HER2 using immunoblotting. GPR110 was the only GPCR overexpressed in resistant derivatives versus parental cells as well as in ALDH+ versus ALDH- cells of BT474 cells. In TCGA dataset, GPR110 expression was significantly higher in HER2+ and basal subtypes of breast cancer compared to ER+ luminal A and B subtypes. Overexpression of GPR110 in BT474 cells (9-fold in GPR110-OE vs. EV cells) resulted in a marked 5-fold increase in the number of colonies when grown in soft agar compared to EV cells even though anchorage-dependent cell growth was not significantly different between EV and GPR110-OE cells. In addition, GPR110-OE cells had a significantly higher% of ALDH+ population compared to EV cells. Phosphorylated (but not total) HER1 and HER2 protein levels were significantly higher in GPR110-OE cells compared to EV cells, suggesting hyperactive HER signaling with GPR110 overexpression. Experiments with L and T treatment will reveal the role of GPR110 in drug efficacy and acquired resistance. In summary, we show for the first time a pro-tumorigenic role of GPR110 in HER2+ breast cancer. Therefore, GPR110 may be a novel pharmacological target in HER2+ breast cancer.

Abstract
Aims: To study and compare the morphometric alteration in the umbilical cord obtained from thirty normal pregnancies (Group-I) and thirty pre-eclamptic pregnancies (Group-II). Methods: Morphological changes in umbilical cords were examined on formalin fixed paraffin embedded section. Various parameters were measured by planimeter. Results: In pre-eclamptic group total vessel area, total vein area, total luminal area of vein, and wall thickness of arteries were increased, whereas jelly area and wall thickness of vein were decreased as compared to normal group. Conclusion: Increased umbilical arterial thickness, decreased umbilical vein wall thickness and increased luminal area of vein which could be a predictor of intrauterine growth retardation in term pre-eclamptic patients.
