Abstract
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are a group of signaling molecules that belongs to the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of proteins. Initially discovered for their ability to induce bone formation, BMPs are now known to play crucial roles in all organ systems. BMPs are important in embryogenesis and development, and also in maintenance of adult tissue homeostasis. Mouse knockout models of various components of the BMP signaling pathway result in embryonic lethality or marked defects, highlighting the essential functions of BMPs. In this review, we first outline the basic aspects of BMP signaling and then focus on genetically manipulated mouse knockout models that have helped elucidate the role of BMPs in development. A significant portion of this review is devoted to the prominent human pathologies associated with dysregulated BMP signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most evidence about associations between birth weight and adult cancer risk comes from studies linking birth records to cancer registration data, where information on known risk factors for cancer is generally lacking. Here, we report on associations between birth weight and cause-specific cancer risk in a large cohort of UK women, and investigate how observed associations are affected by other factors. METHODS A total of 453 023 women, born in the 1930s and 1940s, reported their birth weight, maternal smoking, parental heights, age at menarche, adult height, adult smoking, and many other personal characteristics. They were followed for incident cancer. Using Cox regression, relative risks by birth weight were estimated for cancers with more than 1500 incident cases, adjusting for 17 potential confounding factors, individually and simultaneously. RESULTS Birth weight reported in adulthood was strongly correlated with that recorded at birth (correlation coefficient = 0.78, P < 0.0001). Reported birth weight was associated with most of the potential confounding factors examined, the strongest association being with adult height. After 9.2 years follow-up per woman, 39 060 incident cancers were registered (4414 colorectal, 3175 lung, 1795 malignant melanoma, 14 542 breast, 2623 endometrial, 2009 ovarian, 1565 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and 8937 other cancers). Associations with birth weight were null or weak and reduced after adjustment by adult height (P[trend] > 0.01 for every cancer, after adjustment). In contrast, adult height was strongly related to the risk of every cancer except lung cancer, after adjusting for birth weight and other factors (P[trend] < 0.0001 for most cancers). For lung cancer, adjusting for smoking reduced the association with birth weight. Meta-analyses were dominated by our findings. CONCLUSION Birth weight and adult height are correlated and likely to be markers of some aspect of growth that affects cancer risk in adulthood. However, birth weight adds little, if any, additional information to adult height as a predictor of cancer incidence in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now the most common reason for a child to present to a paediatrician in Australia. Stimulant medications are commonly prescribed for children with ADHD, to reduce symptoms and improve function. In this study we investigated the factors that influence paediatricians' decisions about prescribing stimulant medications. METHOD In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with paediatricians (n = 13) who were purposively recruited so as to sample a broad demographic of paediatricians working in diverse clinical settings. Paediatricians were recruited from public outpatient and private paediatrician clinics in Victoria, Australia. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim for thematic analysis. Paediatricians also completed a questionnaire describing their demographic and practice characteristics. RESULTS Our findings showed that the decision to prescribe is a dynamic process involving two key domains: (1) weighing up clinical factors; and (2) interacting with parents and the patient along the journey to prescribing. Five themes relating to this process emerged from data analysis: comprehensive assessments that include history, examination and information from others; influencing factors such as functional impairment and social inclusion; previous success; facilitating parental understanding including addressing myths and parental confusion; and decision-making model. CONCLUSIONS Paediatricians' decisions to prescribe stimulant medications are influenced by multiple factors that operate concurrently and interdependently. Paediatricians do not make decisions about prescribing in isolation; rather, they actively involve parents, teachers and patients, to arrive at a collective, well-informed decision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bile acid malabsorption (BAM) is a common, yet under-recognised, cause of chronic diarrhoea, with limited guidance available on the appropriate management of patients with BAM. AIM To summarise the evidence supporting different treatments available for patients with bile acid malabsorption, noting their impact on clinical outcomes, tolerability and associated side effects. METHODS A literature search was conducted through PubMed, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Scopus. Relevant articles studied patients who had been diagnosed with BAM and were clinically assessed before and after therapy. RESULTS A total of 30 relevant publications (1241 adult patients) were identified, which investigated the clinical response to drugs, including colestyramine, colestipol, colesevelam, aluminium hydroxide and obeticholic acid. The most commonly used diagnostic test of bile acid malabsorption was the SeHCAT test (24 studies). Colestyramine treatment was by far the most studied of these agents, and was successful in 70% of 801 patients (range: 63-100%). CONCLUSIONS Colestyramine and colestipol are generally effective treatments of gastrointestinal symptoms from BAM, but may be poorly tolerated and reduce the bioavailability of co-administered agents. Alternative therapies (including colesevelam and aluminium hydroxide) as well as dietary intervention may also have a role, and the promising results of the first proof-of-concept study of obeticholic acid suggest that its novel approach may have an exciting future in the treatment of this condition. Future trials should employ accurate diagnostic testing and be conducted over longer periods so that the long-term benefits and tolerability of these different approaches can be evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Organically produced foods are less likely than conventionally produced foods to contain pesticide residues. METHODS We examined the hypothesis that eating organic food may reduce the risk of soft tissue sarcoma, breast cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other common cancers in a large prospective study of 623 080 middle-aged UK women. Women reported their consumption of organic food and were followed for cancer incidence over the next 9.3 years. Cox regression models were used to estimate adjusted relative risks for cancer incidence by the reported frequency of consumption of organic foods. RESULTS At baseline, 30%, 63% and 7% of women reported never, sometimes, or usually/always eating organic food, respectively. Consumption of organic food was not associated with a reduction in the incidence of all cancer (n=53 769 cases in total) (RR for usually/always vs never=1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.99-1.07), soft tissue sarcoma (RR=1.37, 95% CI: 0.82-2.27), or breast cancer (RR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.02-1.15), but was associated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (RR=0.79, 95% CI: 0.65-0.96). CONCLUSIONS In this large prospective study there was little or no decrease in the incidence of cancer associated with consumption of organic food, except possibly for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
Tissue engineering techniques have been effective in developing cartilage-like tissues in vitro. However, many scaffold-based approaches to cultivating engineered cartilage have been limited by low collagen production, an impediment for attaining native functional load-bearing tensile mechanical properties. Enzymatic digestion of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) with chondroitinase ABC (chABC) temporarily suppresses the construct's GAG content and compressive modulus and increases collagen content. Based on the promising results of these early studies, the aim of this study was to further promote collagen deposition through more frequent chABC treatments. Weekly dosing of chABC at a concentration of 0.15 U/mL resulted in a significant cell death, which impacted the ability of the engineered cartilage to fully recover GAG and compressive mechanical properties. In light of these findings, the influence of lower chABC dosage on engineered tissue (0.004 and 0.015 U/mL) over a longer duration (one week) was investigated. Treatment with 0.004 U/mL reduced cell death, decreased the recovery time needed to achieve native compressive mechanical properties and GAG content, and resulted in a collagen content that was 65 % greater than the control. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrate that longer chABC treatment (one week) at low concentrations can be used to improve collagen content in developing engineered cartilage more expediently than standard chABC treatments of higher chABC doses administered over brief durations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the United Kingdom, breast cancer incidence is lower in South Asian and Black women than in White women, but the extent to which this is due to known risk factors is unknown. In a large prospective study, we describe breast cancer incidence by ethnicity, before and after adjustment for known risk factors for the disease. METHODS Women were recruited into the Million Women Study in 1996-2001, when information on reproductive and lifestyle factors known to influence the risk of breast cancer was obtained. Ethnicity was determined from study questionnaires and hospital admission data. Cox regression models were used to calculate adjusted relative risks (RR) for incident breast cancer in South Asians and Blacks compared with Whites. RESULTS Analyses included 5877 South Asian, 4919 Black, and 1,038,144 White women in England. The prevalence of 8 out of the 9 risk factors for breast cancer examined, differed substantially by ethnicity (P<0.001 for each), such that South Asian and Black women were at a lower risk of the disease than White women. During 12.2 years of follow-up incident breast cancer occurred in 217 South Asians, 180 Blacks, and 45,191 Whites. As expected, breast cancer incidence was lower in South Asians (RR=0.82, 95% CI 0.72-0.94) and Blacks (RR=0.85, 0.73-0.98) than in Whites when the analyses were adjusted only for age and region of residence. However, after additional adjustment for the known risk factors for the disease, breast cancer incidence was similar to that of Whites, both in South Asians (0.95, 0.83-1.09) and in Blacks (0.91, 0.78-1.05). CONCLUSION South Asian and Black women in England have lower incidence rates of breast cancer than White women, but this is largely, if not wholly, because of differences in known risk factors for the disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: GPNMB is an internalizable transmembrane glycoprotein overexpressed in multiple tumor types where it is a poor prognostic factor. Its functions appear to include mediating intercellular adhesion, promoting tissue repair, and regulating cell growth and differentiation. In tumor cell lines including breast cancer (BC), GPNMB enhances tumor growth and bone metastases. Relative to other BC subtypes, triple-negative BC (TNBC) highly over-expresses GPNMB in tumor epithelium where it correlates with a higher risk of recurrence. CDX-011 (glembatumumab vedotin) is a fully human GPNMB-specific monoclonal antibody drug conjugate combining the tumor-targeting GPNMB antibody with the potent cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor, monomethylauristatin E (MMAE). In the Phase II EMERGE study, 122 patients (pts) with heavily pre-treated BC (2-7 priors) and GPNMB-expression by IHC in ≥ 5% of either the tumor epithelial or stromal cells in archival tissue were randomized 2:1 to receive CDX-011 or “investigator's choice” (IC) single-agent chemotherapy, with crossover to CDX-011 permitted. CDX-011 as compared to IC, demonstrated higher objective response rates, with ORR of 8/25 (32%) vs 1/8 (13%) for high GPNMB expression (defined as expression in ≥25% of epithelial tumor cells) and 5/27 (19%) vs. 0/9 (0%) for TNBC. In the presence of both TNBC and high GPNMB, ORR was 4/12 (33%) vs 0/4 (0%) which corresponded to a doubling of median progression-free survival (PFS, p = 0.008) and median overall survival (OS, p = 0.003). CDX-011 was well tolerated with less hematologic toxicity (neutropenia: 29% vs 44%; leukopenia: 10% vs 27%; thrombocytopenia: 4% vs. 15%) but more rash (47% vs. 2%) and neuropathy (23% vs 12%) than IC. Methods: The current pivotal study aims to evaluate CDX-011 in metastatic GPNMB-over-expressing TNBC defined as ER and PR < 1%, HER2 negative (0-1+ IHC, or FISH ratio < 1.8). Eligibility criteria include >25% tumor epithelium GPNMB expression by central IHC; taxane and anthracyline resistance; ≤1 prior chemotherapy regimen for advanced BC; measurable disease by RECIST 1:1 and no persistent treatment-related toxicity of ≥ Grade 2 severity. 300 pts will be randomized (2:1) to receive CDX-011 (1.88 mg/kg IV q 21 days) or capecitabine (2500 mg/m2 daily for d1-14, q21 days) until progression or toxicity. Disease assessments are performed every six weeks for 6 months, and every 12 weeks thereafter. All pts are subsequently followed for survival. Endpoints are ORR and PFS (co-primary), duration of response, OS, safety, pharmacokinetics, and quality of life; tumor response assessments will be assessed by central review per RECIST 1.1. The trial has 80% power to detect a hazard ratio of 0.64 for PFS with α = 0.01 and/or a 30% increase in ORR (from 15% to 30%) with α = 0.04.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the evidence exploring the experiences of patients with fungating wounds and associated quality of life, and to subsequently provide recommendations to how these implications may be addressed in practice. METHOD Using a systematic approach, a comprehensive literature search was conducted to investigate the most appropriate and relevant evidence regarding the experiences of patients with fungating wounds. RESULTS Studies unveiled the enormity of the unrelenting, unique and devastating consequences that these wounds have on an individual’s life and that every domain of their life is negatively affected. CONCLUSION These findings must galvanise nurses to become aware of the extent of the devastation experienced and aspects of life affected by these wounds. The issues raised have multifaceted and challenging implications for practice; however, all aspects need to be addressed and satisfied in an attempt to improve the quality of life of individuals with fungating wounds.

Abstract
Background: Greater adiposity and height have been associated with increased risk of haematological malignancies. Associations for disease subtypes are uncertain. Methods: A cohort of 1.3 million middle-aged UK women was recruited in 1996–2001 and followed for 10 years on average. Potential risk factors were assessed by questionnaire. Death, emigration, and incident cancer were ascertained by linkage to national registers. Adjusted relative risks were estimated by Cox regression. Results: During follow-up, 9162 participants were diagnosed with lymphatic or haematopoietic cancers. Each 10 kg m−2 increase in body mass index was associated with relative risk of 1.20 (95% confidence interval: 1.13–1.28) for lymphoid and 1.37 (1.22–1.53) for myeloid malignancy (P=0.06 for heterogeneity); similarly, Hodgkin lymphoma 1.64 (1.21–2.21), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma 1.36 (1.17–1.58), plasma cell neoplasms 1.21 (1.06–1.39), acute myeloid leukaemia 1.47 (1.19–1.81), and myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic syndromes 1.32 (1.15–1.52). Each 10 cm increase in height was associated with relative risk of 1.21 (1.16–1.27) for lymphoid and 1.11 (1.02–1.21) for myeloid malignancy (P=0.07 for heterogeneity); similarly, mature T-cell malignancies 1.36 (1.03–1.79), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma 1.28 (1.14–1.43), follicular lymphoma 1.28 (1.13–1.44), plasma cell neoplasms 1.12 (1.01–1.24), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma 1.23 (1.08–1.40), and acute myeloid leukaemia 1.22 (1.04–1.42). There was no significant heterogeneity between subtypes. Conclusion: In middle-aged women, greater body mass index and height were associated with modestly increased risks of many subtypes of haematological malignancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the maternal demographic factors associated with operative births (instrumental vaginal births or caesarean section), after adjustment for health, interpersonal, pregnancy, labour and infant covariates. DESIGN Nationally representative cohort study. SETTING Women giving birth in the UK, during the period 2000-2002. SAMPLE A total of 18,239 mother-infant pairs. METHODS Multinomial logistic regression models were estimated to explore the relationship between demographic characteristics and mode of birth, stratified by parity. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Self-reported mode of birth, defined as unassisted vaginal birth, instrumental vaginal birth, emergency caesarean section and planned caesarean section. RESULTS For primiparous women, operative births rose steeply with increasing maternal age. Women from lower occupational status households were at an increased risk of planned caesarean section. Mode of birth differed significantly by ethnicity. For multiparous women, a younger age at first birth was protective of a later caesarean section or instrumental vaginal birth at the cohort birth. Women with qualifications normally taken at the age 18 years were at an increased risk of planned caesarean section compared with women with degree-level qualifications. Mode of birth differed significantly by ethnicity, and non-UK born women were at an increased risk of emergency caesarean section. CONCLUSIONS The sociodemographic characteristics of UK women independently predict mode of birth. Further research is needed to establish to what extent sociodemographic differences in mode of birth are a reflection of the attitudes and behaviours of women, or health professionals, and are therefore amenable to change.

Abstract
AIM To examine change in the gut community of rats fed high amylose maize starch (HAMS). METHODS AND RESULTS Rats were fed AIN93G diets containing HAMS (5% resistant starch type 2) or alphacell (control). HAMS increased faecal short-chain fatty acid output, faecal propionate and total bacteria output but reduced gut pH and blood urea concentrations compared with rats ingesting the control diet. Feeding HAMS resulted in a gut community dominated by four phylotypes homologous with Ruminococcus bromii, Bacteroides uniformis and with yet to be cultivated organisms aligning into the Family Porphyromonadaceae. Enrichment of phylotypes aligning within the Bacteroidetes occurred primarily in the caecum, whereas those homologous with R. bromii were found primarily in the faeces. HAMS altered community structure such that the phylum Bacteroidetes represented the dominant gut lineage and progressively reduced faecal community phylotype richness over the duration of feeding. CONCLUSIONS Feeding HAMS resulted in a caecal and faecal community dominated by organisms that require ammonia as a primary nitrogen source. Gut ammonia derived from endogenous urea represents an important factor contributing to caecal community composition in addition to the ability to utilize HAMS. Increases in faecal propionate, rather than butyrate as is often observed following resistant starch feeding, reflected a gut community dominated by the Bacteroidetes. SIGNIFICANCE Diet-mediated change is often viewed strictly in terms of available carbohydrate. Here, we have shown that ammonia derived from endogenous urea is an important factor contributing to gut community composition and structure in rats fed this substrate.

Abstract
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) may be the result of Lynch syndrome (LS) caused by mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes, a syndrome of unknown etiology called familial colorectal cancer type-X (FCCTX), or familial serrated neoplasia associated with the colorectal cancer (CRC) somatic BRAF mutation. To determine the cause of HNPCC in the founder population of the island of Newfoundland, we studied 37 families with LS and 29 families without LS who fulfilled the Amsterdam I criteria. In non-LS, four index CRCs were BRAF mutation positive, one of which was microsatellite instable. Geographic clustering of LS families caused by three different founder mutations in MSH2 was observed. Nine unique MMR mutations in four MMR genes were identified in single families distributed in different geographic isolates. The geographic distribution of non-LS was similar to LS. The coefficient of relatedness using genotype data was significantly higher for non-LS than for all CRC. Extensive genealogic investigation failed to connect non-LS families and in some clusters pathologic CRC heterogeneity was observed. We conclude that non-LS HNPCC may be a heterogeneous disorder with different pathogenic pathways, and that the geographic distribution is consistent with multiple different mutations in unknown CRC susceptibility gene(s).

Abstract
Population-based screening for early detection and treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) and precursor lesions, using evidence-based methods, can be effective in populations with a significant burden of the disease provided the services are of high quality. Multidisciplinary, evidence-based guidelines for quality assurance in CRC screening and diagnosis have been developed by experts in a project co-financed by the European Union. The 450-page guidelines were published in book format by the European Commission in 2010. They include 10 chapters and over 250 recommendations, individually graded according to the strength of the recommendation and the supporting evidence. Adoption of the recommendations can improve and maintain the quality and effectiveness of an entire screening process, including identification and invitation of the target population, diagnosis and management of the disease and appropriate surveillance in people with detected lesions. To make the principles, recommendations and standards in the guidelines known to a wider professional and scientific community and to facilitate their use in the scientific literature, the original content is presented in journal format in an open-access Supplement of Endoscopy. The editors have prepared the present overview to inform readers of the comprehensive scope and content of the guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase are undergoing evaluation as a novel class of anti-rheumatic drugs, by virtue of their ability to suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Emerging data suggests that they may also attenuate peripheral or central sensitization in neuropathic pain. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study was undertaken to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of losmapimod (GW856553), a novel p38α/β inhibitor, in subjects with neuropathic pain following traumatic peripheral nerve injury. METHODS One hundred and sixty-eight subjects with pain of at least moderate intensity (average daily score ≥4 on an 11-point pain intensity numeric rating scale; PI-NRS) at baseline were randomized to receive oral losmapimod, 7.5 mg BID or placebo for 28 days. Efficacy and safety assessments were undertaken at weekly clinic visits. RESULTS The mean treatment difference for the change in average daily pain score from baseline to week 4 of treatment based on the PI-NRS was -0.22 (95% CI -0.73, 0.28) in favour of losmapimod over placebo (p = 0.39). There were no statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences between the treatment groups over the 4-week dosing period for either the primary or secondary efficacy variables. There were no unexpected safety or tolerability findings following dosing with losmapimod. CONCLUSIONS Losmapimod could not be differentiated from placebo in terms of a primary analgesia response in patients with pain following peripheral nerve injury. The lack of response could reflect inadequate exposure at central sites of action or differences between rodent and human with respect to the target or neuropathic pain mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current use of menopausal hormone therapy (HT) increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the formulations used may affect risk. METHODS A total of 1,058,259 postmenopausal UK women were followed by record linkage to routinely collected National Health Service hospital admission and death records. HT use and risk of VTE was examined using Cox regression to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS During 3.3 million years of follow-up, 2200 women had an incident VTE, diagnosed, on average, 1.5 years after last reporting HT use. RRs in current vs. never users at last reporting varied by HT formulation: the risk was significantly greater for oral estrogen-progestin than oral estrogen-only therapy (RR = 2.07 [95%CI, 1.86-2.31] vs. 1.42 [1.21-1.66]), with no increased risk with transdermal estrogen-only therapy (0.82 [0.64-1.06]). Among users of oral estrogen-progestin, the risk from HT varied by progestin type, with significantly greater risks for preparations containing medroxyprogesterone acetate than other progestins (2.67 [2.25-3.17] vs. 1.91 [1.69-2.17]; Pheterogeneity = 0.0007). Current users of oral HT at last reporting had twice the risk of VTE in the first 2 years after starting HT than later (Pheterogeneity = 0.0006). Associations were similar for deep vein thrombosis with and without pulmonary embolism. Over 5 years, 1 in 660 who had never used HT were admitted to hospital for (or died from) pulmonary embolism, compared with 1 in 475 current users of oral estrogen-only HT,1 in 390 users of estrogen-progestin HT containing norethisterone/norgestrel, and 1 in 250 users of estrogen-progestin HT containing medroxyprogesterone acetate. CONCLUSIONS The risk of VTE varied considerably by HT formulation, being greatest in users of oral estrogen-progestin HT, especially formulations containing medroxyprogesterone acetate.

Abstract
Recent data from the AZURE, ABCSG-12, and ZO-FAST clinical trials have challenged our understanding of the potential anticancer activity of zoledronic acid (ZOL). Although the results of these studies may appear to be conflicting on the surface, a deeper look into commonalities among the patient populations suggest that some host factors (i.e. patient age and endocrine status) may contribute to the anticancer activity of ZOL. Indeed, data from these large clinical trials suggest that the potential anticancer activity of ZOL may be most robust in a low-estrogen environment. However, this may be only part of the story and many questions remain to be answered to fully explain the phenomenon. Does estrogen override the anticancer activity of ZOL seen in postmenopausal women? Are hormones other than estrogen involved that contribute to this effect? Does the role of bone turnover in breast cancer (BC) growth and progression differ in the presence of various estrogen levels? Here, we present a review of the multitude of factors affected by different endocrine environments in women with BC that may influence the potential anticancer activity of ZOL.

Abstract
Samples from 19 resected lung tumours have been analysed for the levels of GST alpha, mu and pi mRNA and protein. No significant survival disadvantage was found for patients with tumours containing any of the GST subtypes at the levels of either protein or mRNA. Both GST mu and GST pi mRNAs were expressed at significantly higher levels in squamous carcinomas than adenocarcinomas but GST alpha mRNA was not. The significant increases in expression of mu and pi GST in squamous relative to adenocarcinomas of the lung is not related to differences in the proliferation rates between these cancers.

Abstract
High blood and tissue concentrations of glucose and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are thought to play an important role in the development of diabetic vascular complications. Thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) is up-regulated in response to high levels of glucose and is an endogenous inhibitor of thioredoxin (TRX), and may play a contributory role in the occurrence of diabetic-related vascular diseases. Vitamin D inhibits endothelial proliferation and is a cardiovascular protective agent. The present study evaluated the impact of paricalcitol and calcitriol on the endothelial inflammatory and TXNIP pathways in cultured endothelial cells exposed to a diabetic-like environment. Fresh human umbilical vein cord endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated for 24h with 200 μg/ml AGE-HSA and 250 mg/dl glucose concentrations, with paricalcitol or calcitriol. IL6, IL8, NFκB (p50/p65), receptor of AGE (RAGE), TXNIP, and TRX expressions were evaluated at the levels of mRNA, protein, and TRX activity. Calcitriol and paricalcitol significantly down-regulated the markers involved in the inflammatory responses. Only paricalcitol induced a significant decrease in TXNIP mRNA and protein expressions. Neither paricalcitol nor calcitriol affected TRX reductase activity or TRX mRNA and protein expressions. Our findings indicate that in an endothelial diabetic-like environment, paricalcitol and calcitriol significantly decreased the expression of genes involved in the inflammatory pathway. In this in vitro study, it seems that the TRX antioxidant system was not involved. The different effects found between paricalcitol and calcitriol might reflect the selectivity of vitamin D receptor (VDR) activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research suggests associations of lower alcohol intake and higher tobacco consumption with increased risks of haematological malignancy. The prospective Million Women Study provides sufficient power for reliable estimates of subtype-specific associations in women. METHODS Approximately 1.3 million middle-aged women were recruited in the United Kingdom during 1996-2001 and followed for death, emigration and cancer registration until 2009 (mean 10.3 years per woman); potential risk factors were assessed by questionnaire. Adjusted relative risks were estimated by Cox regression. RESULTS During follow-up, 9162 incident cases of haematological malignancy were recorded, including 7047 lymphoid and 2072 myeloid cancers. Among predominantly moderate alcohol drinkers, higher intake was associated with lower risk of lymphoid malignancies, in particular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (relative risk 0.85 per 10 g alcohol per day (95% confidence interval 0.75-0.96)), follicular lymphoma (0.86 (0.76-0.98)) and plasma cell neoplasms (0.86 (0.77-0.96)). Among never- and current smokers, higher cigarette consumption was associated with increased risk of Hodgkin lymphoma (1.45 per 10 cigarettes per day (1.22-1.72)), mature T-cell malignancies (1.38 (1.10-1.73)) and myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic disease (1.42 (1.31-1.55)). CONCLUSION These findings confirm and extend existing evidence for associations of subtypes of haematological malignancy with two common exposures in women.
