Abstract
BACKGROUND Most chronic neurological diseases are caused by a combination of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Increasingly, gene-environment interactions (GxE) are being examined, providing opportunities to combine studies systematically using meta-analysis. METHODS Systematic review of the literature on how to examine GxE using observational study designs, and how to conduct a meta-analysis of studies on GxE. RESULTS Most methods and challenges related to a standard meta-analysis apply to a GxE meta-analysis. There are, however, some substantive differences. With GxE, there is the capability of using a case-only design. Research on GxE interactions may be more prone to publication bias, since interactions are usually not the primary hypothesis and only 'exciting' significant GxE findings are reported out of a range of secondary analyses. In disease aetiology research, there has been debate whether to measure interaction on a multiplicative or additive scale. There are some significant challenges associated with measuring interaction on an additive scale, and thus the uptake of the measures of additive interaction has been limited. As a result, the methods of analysing interaction have been less consistent and reporting has been highly variable. We suggest using the STROBE/STREGA reporting guidelines to allow evaluation of interaction on both scales. CONCLUSIONS We identified a number of differences of a GxE meta-analysis over a standard meta-analysis. Awareness of these issues is important. Using established reporting guidelines for GxE studies is recommended. The development of consortia for neurological disorders that include both genetic and environmental data might offer benefits for GxE meta-analyses in the future.

Abstract
Infectious micro-organisms may be transmitted by a variety of routes, and some may be spread by more than one route. Respiratory and facial protection is required for those organisms that are usually transmitted via the droplet/airborne route, or when airborne particles have been artificially created, such as during ‘aerosol-generating procedures’. A range of personal protective equipment that provides different degrees of facial and respiratory protection is available. It is apparent from the recent experiences with severe acute respiratory syndrome and pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza that healthcare workers may have difficulty in choosing the correct type of facial and respiratory protection in any given clinical situation. To address this issue, the Scientific Development Committee of the Healthcare Infection Society established a short-life working group to develop guidance. The guidance is based upon a review of the literature, which is published separately, and expert consensus.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) commonly arises from islet β cell failure and insulin resistance. Here, we examined the sensitivity of key islet-enriched transcription factors to oxidative stress, a condition associated with β cell dysfunction in both type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and T2DM. Hydrogen peroxide treatment of β cell lines induced cytoplasmic translocation of MAFA and NKX6.1. In parallel, the ability of nuclear PDX1 to bind endogenous target gene promoters was also dramatically reduced, whereas the activity of other key β cell transcriptional regulators was unaffected. MAFA levels were reduced, followed by a reduction in NKX6.1 upon development of hyperglycemia in db/db mice, a T2DM model. Transgenic expression of the glutathione peroxidase-1 antioxidant enzyme (GPX1) in db/db islet β cells restored nuclear MAFA, nuclear NKX6.1, and β cell function in vivo. Notably, the selective decrease in MAFA, NKX6.1, and PDX1 expression was found in human T2DM islets. MAFB, a MAFA-related transcription factor expressed in human β cells, was also severely compromised. We propose that MAFA, MAFB, NKX6.1, and PDX1 activity provides a gauge of islet β cell function, with loss of MAFA (and/or MAFB) representing an early indicator of β cell inactivity and the subsequent deficit of more impactful NKX6.1 (and/or PDX1) resulting in overt dysfunction associated with T2DM.

Abstract
Quantification of the amount of heparin-binding growth factor activity present in homogenates of normal and malignant human colon mucosa in terms of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) indicates that 6-29 ng/g tissue of bFGF-like activity was present in five samples of normal human colon and in five corresponding samples of malignant colon mucosa. Immunoblotting demonstrates the presence of immunoreactive bFGF and acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF). The presence of bFGF and aFGF in normal and malignant colon mucosa suggests that they may be involved not only in normal colon growth but also in the growth and survival of colon carcinomas.

Abstract
Field surveys were conducted monthly between December 2008 and July 2009 in Kerala, south-west India to compare the population dynamics of the red palm mite Raoiella indica (RPM) on two host plants Areca catechu and Cocos nucifera during one non-monsoon season when, in general, RPM populations increase. The aim was to examine the effects of host plant, host plant locality and the impact of climatic factors on RPM and related phytoseiid predators. There were significantly higher RPM densities on areca in peak season (May/June) compared to coconut; although significantly more coconut sites were infested with RPM than areca. Although no one climatic factor was significantly related to RPM numbers, interactions were found between temperature, humidity and rainfall and the partitioning of host plant locality showed that where conditions were warmer and drier, RPM densities were significantly higher. Specifically on coconut, there was a significant relation between RPM densities and the combined interaction between site temperature, site humidity and phytoseiid densities. There was a marked difference in the density of phytoseiids collected between areca and coconut palms, with significantly more on the latter, in several months. Amblyseius largoensis was the most commonly collected phytoseiid in association with RPM, although Amblyseius tamatavensis species group and Amblyseius largoensis species group were collected in association with RPM also. There was also evidence of a weak numerical response of the combined phytoseiid complex in relation to RPM density the previous month on coconut but this was not observed on areca.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intussusception is the most common cause of acute intestinal obstruction in infants. This study examined the clinical presentation, management and outcomes of intussusception in this age group. METHODS Prospective surveillance of intussusception in infants was carried out between March 2008 and March 2009 in the UK and Ireland. Monthly cards were sent to paediatric clinicians who were requested to notify cases of intussusception. RESULTS The study identified 261 confirmed cases. The commonest presenting symptom/sign was non-bilious vomiting, in 210 (80·5 per cent) of the infants. Abdominal ultrasonography was done in 247 infants (94·6 per cent) and was diagnostic in 242 (98·0 per cent), compared with plain abdominal X-ray, which was diagnostic in 33 (23·6 per cent) of 140 infants. Enema reduction was carried out in 240 (92·0 per cent) of the 261 infants; the majority (237, 98·8 per cent) had pneumatic reduction with a success rate of 61·2 per cent (145 of 237). Surgery was required in 111 infants (42·5 per cent); 92 operations were as a result of unsuccessful enema reduction, and the remaining 19 infants (17·1 per cent) had primary surgery. Forty-four infants (39·6 per cent of operations) needed a bowel resection. The majority of children (238, 91·2 per cent) recovered uneventfully; 21 (8·0 per cent) had sequelae, one child died (0·4 per cent), and the outcome was unknown for one infant. CONCLUSION This study described current treatment patterns for intussusception in infancy; these represent a benchmark for improved standards of care for this condition.

Abstract
In this work, a 10-wavelength, polarization-multiplexed, monolithically integrated InP coherent QPSK transmitter PIC is demonstrated to operate at 112 Gb/sec per wavelength and total chip superchannel bandwidth of 1.12 Tb/s. This demonstration suggests that increasing data capacity to multi-Tb/s per chip is possible and likely in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Telomerase activity (TA) is often used as a molecular marker for cancer aggressiveness. Our objectives were to determine the TA in ovarian cancer cell lines and the effectiveness of targeting telomerase for cancer therapy. METHODS Ovarian cancer cell lines of various histologic subtypes were chosen to correspond to decreasing levels of clinical aggressiveness. Cells were grown in non-adherent growth conditions to form spheroid-forming cells (SFC). Telomerase activity was quantified using the TRAPeze RT Telomerase Detection Kit and confirmed with luciferase reporter plasmid containing promoter of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Cell proliferation survival assays were performed after treatment with a small molecule telomerase inhibitor BIBR1532 both with and without multiple chemotherapeutic agents. RESULTS Compared to monolayer, TA from SFC correlated to the innate clinical aggressiveness of ovarian cancer cell lines ES2, SKOV3, and TOV112D. Treatment with BIBR1532 resulted in up to a 12-fold decrease in TA compared to controls. SFCs were significantly more resistant to BIBR1532 compared to monolayer cell lines; however, it showed reasonable efficacy at 100 uM. In combination assays, the addition of BIBR1532 to carboplatin yielded the most favorable results in regards to synergy in all three cell lines evaluated. CONCLUSIONS Telomerase activity appears to correlate to the clinical aggressiveness seen in histologic subtypes of ovarian cancer. BIBR1532 demonstrated significant inhibition of TA as well as reasonable efficacy as a single agent. Inhibition of telomerase with BIBR1532 in combination with carboplatin demonstrated a more than additive effect in-vitro and could represent a novel targeted therapy for ovarian cancer.

The more you drink, the harder you fall: a systematic review and meta-analysis of how acute alcohol consumption and injury or collision risk increase together. Drug Alcohol Depend 2010; 110:108-16.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption causes injury in a dose-response manner. The most common mode of sustaining an alcohol-attributable injury is from a single occasion of acute alcohol consumption, but much of the injury literature employs usual consumption habits to assess risk instead. An analysis of the acute dose-response relationship between alcohol and injury is warranted to generate single occasion- and dose-specific relative risks. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was conducted to fill this gap. Linear and best-fit first-order model were used to model the data. Usual tests of heterogeneity and publication bias were run. Separate meta-analyses were run for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle injuries, as well as case-control and case-crossover studies. The risk of injury increases non-linearly with increasing alcohol consumption. For motor vehicle accidents, the odds ratio increases by 1.24 (95% CI: 1.18-1.31) per 10-g in pure alcohol increase to 52.0 (95% CI: 34.50-78.28) at 120 g. For non-motor vehicle injury, the OR increases by 1.30 (95% CI: 1.26-1.34) to an OR of 24.2 at 140 g (95% CI: 16.2-36.2). Case-crossover studies of non-MVA injury result in overall higher risks than case-control studies and the per-drink increase in odds of injury was highest for intentional injury, at 1.38 (95% CI: 1.22-1.55). Efforts to reduce drinking both on an individual level and a population level are important. No level of consumption is safe when driving and less than 2 drinks per occasion should be encouraged to reduce the risk of injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Screening markers are used in emergency departments (EDs) to identify children who should be assessed for possible physical abuse and neglect. We conducted three systematic reviews evaluating age, repeat attendance and injury type as markers for physical abuse or neglect in injured children attending EDs. METHODS We included studies comparing markers in physically abused or neglected children and non-abused injured children attending ED or hospital. We calculated likelihood ratios (LRs) for age group, repeat attendance and injury type (head injury, bruises, fractures, burns or other). Given the low prevalence of abuse or neglect, we considered that an LR of 10 or more would be clinically useful. RESULTS All studies were poor quality. Infancy increased the risk of physical abuse or neglect in severely injured or admitted children (LRs 7.7-13.0, 2 studies) but was not strongly associated in children attending the ED (LR 1.5, 95% CI: 0.9, 2.8; one study). Repeat attendance did not substantially increase the risk of abuse or neglect and may be confounded by chronic disease and socio-economic status (LRs 0.8-3.9, 3 studies). One study showed no evidence that the type of injury substantially increased the risk of physical abuse or neglect in severely injured children. CONCLUSIONS There was no evidence that any of the markers (infancy, type of injury, repeated attendance) were sufficiently accurate (i.e. LR >or= 10) to screen injured children in the ED to identify those requiring paediatric assessment for possible physical abuse or neglect. Clinicians should be aware that among injured children at ED a high proportion of abused children will present without these characteristics and a high proportion of non-abused children will present with them. Information about age, injury type and repeat attendances should be interpreted in this context.
