Abstract
BACKGROUND An ideal topical formulation for wound therapy does not exist. The aim of this study was to develop a novel improved therapeutic option for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds. METHODS A transparent wound gel which is in a liquid state below and in a gel state at or above room temperature was developed. Forty-four patients were included in this open randomized controlled single-center study. Flammazine served as control in the treatment of skin graft donor sites. Wounds were assessed for time of dressing change and overall satisfaction of patients and health care providers. The data were analyzed using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS The wound gel proved to be superior in comparison with Flammazine with respect to wound assessment (p = 0.002), staining (p = 0.007), leaking (p = 0.032) and smell (p = 0.034). Flammazine showed favorable results regarding the parameters dehydration of the dressings (p = 0.012) and wound adherence (p = 0.005). The evaluation of the overall dressing change process showed no significant differences. CONCLUSION The thermoreversible wound gel containing polyhexanide allows for good handling and wound assessment. This study demonstrated a high satisfaction level of patient and health care providers, and the wound gel proved an effective alternative to commonly used treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Transcriptomic biomarkers of psychiatric diseases obtained from a query of peripheral tissues that are clinically accessible (e.g., blood cells instead of post-mortem brain tissue) have substantial practical appeal to discern the molecular subtypes of common complex diseases such as major psychosis. To this end, spliceome-profiling is a new methodological approach that has considerable conceptual relevance for discovery and clinical translation of novel biomarkers for psychiatric illnesses. Advances in microarray technology now allow for improved sensitivity in measuring the transcriptome while simultaneously querying the "exome" (all exons) and "spliceome" (all alternatively spliced variants). The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of spliceome-profiling to discern transcriptomic biomarkers of psychosis. METHODS: We measured exome and spliceome expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 13 schizophrenia patients, nine bipolar disorder patients, and eight healthy control subjects. Each diagnostic group was compared to each other, and the combined group of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia patients was also compared to the control group. Furthermore, we compared subjects with a history of psychosis to subjects without such history. RESULTS: After applying Bonferroni corrections for the 21,866 full-length gene transcripts analyzed, we found significant interactions between diagnostic group and exon identity, consistent with group differences in rates or types of alternative splicing. Relative to the control group, 18 genes in the bipolar disorder group, eight genes in the schizophrenia group, and 15 genes in the combined bipolar disorder and schizophrenia group appeared differentially spliced. Importantly, thirty-three genes showed differential splicing patterns between the bipolar disorder and schizophrenia groups. More frequent exon inclusion and/or over-expression was observed in psychosis. Finally, these observations are reconciled with an analysis of the ontologies, the pathways and the protein domains significantly over-represented among the alternatively spliced genes, several of which support prior discoveries. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first blood-based spliceome-profiling study of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to be reported. The battery of alternatively spliced genes and exons identified in this discovery-oriented exploratory study, if replicated, may have potential utility to discern the molecular subtypes of psychosis. Spliceome-profiling, as a new methodological approach in transcriptomics, warrants further work to evaluate its utility in personalized medicine. Potentially, this approach could also permit the future development of tissue-sampling methodologies in a form that is more acceptable to patients and thereby allow monitoring of dynamic and time-dependent plasticity in disease severity and response to therapeutic interventions in clinical psychiatry.

Abstract
Drinking water quality and its treatment are negatively impacted by the presence of coloured natural organic matter (NOM) derived from the breakdown of animal and plant materials. Ligninolytic fungi (i.e., white rot fungi - WRF) secrete non-specific oxidative enzymes that can oxidise a wide range of recalcitrant organic compounds. The potential for these organisms to decolourise concentrated aquatic NOM was investigated. Twenty-one isolates from diverse fungal genera were screened using NOM plate assays. Four WRF strains: Trametes sp., Polyporus sp., Trametes versicolor ATCC 7731 and Bjerkandera adusta, which displayed good NOM decolourisation on solid medium were further investigated in shake-flask culture using concentrated NOM as the only source of nutrients. Of these, B. adusta demonstrated the greatest decolourisation (65% for 100 mg C L(-1) NOM). NOM decolourisation coincided with ligninolytic enzyme activity and decrease in average molecular weight of NOM. The expression of the oxidative enzymes (manganese peroxidase (MnP), lignin peroxidase and laccase (Lac)) varied with fungal strain. The enzyme activities of Polyporus sp. and the two Trametes strains were significantly greater than those of B. adusta, although their decolourisation was less. For the Trametes and Polyporus sp., Lac activity was greatest, whereas for B. adusta MnP activity was greatest, suggesting its predominant role in the decolourisation process. This research demonstrates the significant potential for WRF in NOM removal so long as the enzyme activity can be controlled.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are insufficient data regarding the efficacy and safety of vaccination in patients with auto-immune disease (AID) and/or drug-related immune deficiency (DRID). The objective of this study was to obtain professional agreement on vaccine practices in these patients. METHODS A Delphi survey was carried out with physicians recognised for their expertise in vaccinology and/or the caring for adult patients with AID and/or DRID. For each proposed vaccination practice, the experts' opinion and level of agreement were evaluated. RESULTS The proposals relating to patients with AID specified: the absence of risk of AID relapse following vaccination; the possibility of administering live virus vaccines (LVV) to patients not receiving immunosuppressants; the pertinence of determining protective antibody titre before vaccination; the absence of need for specific monitoring following the vaccination. The proposals relating to patients with DRID specified that a 3-6 month delay is needed between the end of these treatments and the vaccination with LVV. There is no contraindication to administering LVV in patients receiving systemic corticosteroids prescribed for less than two weeks, regardless of their dose, or at a daily dose not exceeding 10mg of prednisone, if this involves prolonged treatment. Out of 14 proposals, the level of agreement between the experts was "very good" for eleven, and "good" for the remaining three. CONCLUSION Proposals for vaccine practices in patients with AID and/or DRID should aid with decision-making in daily medical practice and provide better vaccine coverage for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors is a validated first-line antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. The once-daily combination of lamivudine, tenofovirDF and nevirapine has not been evaluated in a clinical trial. METHODS Randomized, open-label, multicentre, non-inferiority trial comparing lamivudine, tenofovirDF and nevirapine once daily (Group 2) with zidovudine/lamivudine and nevirapine twice daily (Group 1), in naive HIV-1-infected patients with a CD4 count <350/mm(3). We planned to enroll 250 patients. RESULTS As of May 2006, 71 patients had been enrolled (35 in Group 1 and 36 in Group 2) and an unplanned interim analysis was done. The groups were comparable at baseline: median CD4 count was 195 and 191/mm(3) and median plasma viral load was 4.9 log(10) and 5.01 log(10), respectively, in Groups 1 and 2. Eight early non-responses (22.2%) were observed, all in Group 2, while two later viral rebounds occurred. Resistance genotypes for the nine Group 2 failing patients showed the mutations M184V/I (n = 3), K65R (n = 6), one or more NNRTI resistance mutations in all cases. At baseline, the nine Group 2 patients who failed had higher median plasma viral load (5.4 log(10)) and lower median CD4 count (110/mm(3)) than the other Group 2 patients (4.7 log(10), P = 0.002 and 223/mm(3), P = 0.004). Nevirapine trough concentrations were not different between the two groups, nor between patients with full viral suppression or those who failed in Group 2. Due to slow recruitment, and those results, the steering committee decided to stop the trial at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS In ARV-naive HIV-1-infected patients, the once-daily lamivudine, tenofovirDF and nevirapine regimen resulted in a high rate of early virological failures. The reasons for the failures remain unclear.
