Abstract
The features of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as an inhibitory neurotransmitter are described, together with those of its receptor as defined by both iontophoretic and radiolabelled ligand binding techniques. Evidence is presented supporting the existence of a second GABA receptor at both peripheral nerve endings and within the CNS. At the classical receptor, GABA can produce a depolarisation of the ganglion cell body or mediate hyperpolarisation within the CNS by increasing membrane conductance to chloride ions. At this second receptor GABA acts in a bicuculline-insensitive manner to reduce neurotransmitter outflow. Many GABA analogues active at the classical receptor are inactive at the second receptor but by contrast baclofen which is inactive at the classical receptor is a potent agonist at the novel site.

Abstract
Multilayer direct-drive inertial-confinement-fusion targets are shown to significantly reduce two-plasmon decay (TPD) driven hot-electron production while maintaining high hydrodynamic efficiency. Implosion experiments on the OMEGA laser used targets with silicon layered between an inner beryllium and outer silicon-doped plastic ablator. A factor-of-5 reduction in hot-electron generation (>50 keV) was observed in the multilayer targets relative to pure CH targets. Three-dimensional simulations of the TPD-driven hot-electron production using a laser-plasma interaction code (lpse) that includes nonlinear and kinetic effects show good agreement with the measurements. The simulations suggest that the reduction in hot-electron production observed in the multilayer targets is primarily caused by increased electron-ion collisional damping.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The AP-1 transcription factor c-Jun is a key downstream target of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) which mediates intracellular signalling associated with a variety of cellular functions. The JNK pathway in breast cancer (BC) can be attenuated via loss of function mutations in MAPK kinases as well as via PIK3CA mutations; however, there is contradictory information about the role of JNK pathway and its clinical implications in BC.
Methods
In the current study, the clinicopathological implications of JNK and JUN mRNA expressions were evaluated in multiple independent BC datasets: a) Training-set (Uppsala cohort; n=249), b) Test-set (human genome atlas database; n=540), c) External validation-set (METABRIC cohort; n=1952) and d) Multicentre pooled databases (n=5530). The clinicopathological associations of their phosphorylated proteins (p-Jnk and p-c-Jun) were assessed in the Nottingham Tenovus Primary BC Series (n= 1650) and in an ER negative cohort (n=450).
Results
Both JNK and c-JUN mRNA high expressions were significantly associated with PAM50-Luminal A and ER+/HER2-/low proliferation molecular BC subtypes, tubular/lobular types, and integrative molecular clusters 4 (IntClust.4), ps<0.001. Whereas BC that had both low JNK and c-JUN mRNA, were significantly associated with large tumour size, high grade, absence of hormonal receptors (HR), HER2 overexpression, PAM50 HER2 and PAM50 Basal molecular subtypes, and IntClust.1, 9 and 10 BCs; ps<0.001.
There was a significant positive correlations between p-Jnk and p-c-Jun protein levels (p<0.0001), however; our data suggested that differential p-Jnk/p-c-Jun expression may influence BC phenotypes. BC with p-Jnk-ve/p-c-Jun-ve were associated with the most aggressive phenotypes including largest tumour size, highest grade, lympho-vascular invasion, absence of HR, basal-like-phenotype, HER2 overexpression, and loss of double strand , single stand and base excision DNA repair proteins (ps<0.0001). In addition p-Jnk-ve/ pc-Jun-ve phenotype was associated with the lowest levels of p-38, ATF2, and p-ATF2; ps<0.001. Interestingly, low levels of either c-JUN-mRNA or pc-Jun protein, was associated with, PAM50-luminal B, epithelial mesenchymal transition and TP53 mutation and loss of its downstream proteins such as MDM2, MDM4, Bcle2 and p21; ps<0.05.
JNK+ (mRNA and p-Jnk) and c-JUN+ (mRNA and p-c-Jun) individually were associated with prolonged BC specific survival (ps<0.001). Multivariate cox regression models that included other validated prognostic factors and therapies revealed that c-JUN-mRNA (Uppsala: p=0.005 and METABIRIC: p=0.036) and p-c-Jun (HR: 0.69; 95% CI = 0.55-0.88; p=0.002) were independently associated with clinical outcome. Furthermore, in ER+ high risk BC, exposure to tamoxifen was associated with decreased risk of death from BC in those patients with p-c-Jun-ve BC (HR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45-0.95; p=0.025).
Conclusion
JNK and c-JUN mRNA as well as p-Jnk and p-c-Jun protein levels are associated with luminal BC, with p-c-Jun being found to be an independent prognostic factor. The interaction between p-Jnk, p-c-Jun and TP53 mutation could predict response to endocrine therapy in ER+ BC. The role of the transcriptionally active form of c-JUN warrants further investigation with regard to its role in BC.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the clinical profile of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis in tertiary hospitals in China. METHODS A retrospective study of patients hospitalized with diabetic ketoacidosis between 2010 and 2012 was carried out in 15 tertiary hospitals around China. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. Patients were classified based on clinical diagnosis and treatment history. Groups were compared for differences in vital statistics and biochemical profiles at presentation. RESULTS The study comprised 643 patients with diabetic ketoacidosis: 308 patients (47.9%) with Type 1 diabetes, 294 patients (45.7%) with Type 2 diabetes and 41 patients (6.4%) with atypical diabetes. Three hundred and eighty-eight diabetic ketoacidosis episodes (60.3%) were in patients with known diabetes. The most common precipitating factor was infection (40.1%), followed by unknown causes (36.9%) and non-compliance with anti-diabetes treatment (16.8%). At presentation, gastrointestinal symptoms and dehydration were more common in the Type 1 diabetes group. For new-onset diabetes, only 74.4% and 55.9% of patients were evaluated for β-cell function and autoantibodies for classification. Only 67% of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis received appropriate fluid therapy and 56% patients with severe acidosis received bicarbonate therapy. The length of hospital stay was 10.0 (7.0-14.0) days. The mortality rate was 1.7%, and was much higher in Type 2 diabetes than that in Type 1 diabetes (3.2% vs. 0.4%, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Type 2 and Type 1 diabetes contribute to a similar proportion of cases presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis in China. Admissions with diabetic ketoacidosis are still associated with significant mortality and prolonged hospitalization. The efficiency of diabetic ketoacidosis management needs to be improved by implementing the updated guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prisoners have an exceptional risk of suicide. Cognitive-behavioural therapy for suicidal behaviour has been shown to offer considerable potential, but has yet to be formally evaluated within prisons. This study investigated the feasibility of delivering and evaluating a novel, manualized cognitive-behavioural suicide prevention (CBSP) therapy for suicidal male prisoners. METHOD A pilot randomized controlled trial of CBSP in addition to treatment as usual (CBSP; n = 31) compared with treatment as usual (TAU; n = 31) alone was conducted in a male prison in England. The primary outcome was self-injurious behaviour occurring within the past 6 months. Secondary outcomes were dimensions of suicidal ideation, psychiatric symptomatology, personality dysfunction and psychological determinants of suicide, including depression and hopelessness. The trial was prospectively registered (number ISRCTN59909209). RESULTS Relative to TAU, participants receiving CBSP therapy achieved a significantly greater reduction in suicidal behaviours with a moderate treatment effect [Cohen's d = -0.72, 95% confidence interval -1.71 to 0.09; baseline mean TAU: 1.39 (S.D. = 3.28) v. CBSP: 1.06 (S.D. = 2.10), 6 months mean TAU: 1.48 (S.D. = 3.23) v. CBSP: 0.58 (S.D. = 1.52)]. Significant improvements were achieved on measures of psychiatric symptomatology and personality dysfunction. Improvements on psychological determinants of suicide were non-significant. More than half of the participants in the CBSP group achieved a clinically significant recovery by the end of therapy, compared with a quarter of the TAU group. CONCLUSIONS The delivery and evaluation of CBSP therapy within a prison is feasible. CBSP therapy offers significant promise in the prevention of prison suicide and an adequately powered randomized controlled trial is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research is sparse which examines pathways to suicide, and resilience to suicide, in people who are particularly vulnerable to suicide, for example, prison inmates. The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which perceptions of self-esteem and coping ability interacted with defeat and entrapment to both amplify suicidal thoughts and feelings, and to act as a buffer against suicidal thoughts and feelings. METHODS Participants were 65 male prisoners at high risk of suicide. A cross-sectional questionnaire design was used. Questionnaire measures of depression, defeat, entrapment, self-esteem, coping ability and suicidal probability were administered. RESULTS For the hopelessness component of the suicide probability measure, high levels of coping ability together with low levels of defeat resulted in the lowest levels of suicidality indicative of a resilience factor. In contrast, low levels of coping skills together with high levels of entrapment were a high risk factor for this hopelessness component of suicide. This pattern of results pertained when controlling for depression levels. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to examine interactions between defeat, entrapment and appraisals of self-esteem and coping ability. Therapeutic interventions would benefit from boosting perceptions and appraisals of coping ability, in particular, in people who are at high risk for suicide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This paper reports how we used a realist review, as part of a wider project to improve collaborative mental health care for prisoners with common mental health problems, to develop a conceptual platform. The importance of offenders gaining support for their mental health, and the need for practitioners across the health service, the criminal justice system, and the third sector to work together to achieve this is recognised internationally. However, the literature does not provide coherent analyses of how these ambitions can be achieved. This paper demonstrates how a realist review can be applied to inform complex intervention development that spans different locations, organisations, professions, and care sectors. METHODS We applied and developed a realist review for the purposes of intervention development, using a three-stage process. (1) An iterative database search strategy (extending beyond criminal justice and offender health) and groups of academics, practitioners, and people with lived experience were used to identify explanatory accounts (n = 347). (2) From these accounts, we developed consolidated explanatory accounts (n = 75). (3) The identified interactions between practitioners and offenders (within their organisational, social, and cultural contexts) were specified in a conceptual platform. We also specify, step by step, how these explanatory accounts were documented, consolidated, and built into a conceptual platform. This addresses an important methodological gap for social scientists and intervention developers about how to develop and articulate programme and implementation theory underpinning complex interventions. RESULTS An integrated person-centred system is proposed to improve collaborative mental health care for offenders with common mental health problems (near to and after release) by achieving consistency between the goals of different sectors and practitioners, enabling practitioners to apply scientific and experiential knowledge in working judiciously and reflectively, and building systems and aligning resources that are centred on offenders' health and social care needs. CONCLUSIONS As part of a broader programme of work, a realist review can make an important contribution to the specification of theoretically informed interventions that have the potential to improve health outcomes. Our conceptual platform has potential application in related systems of health and social care where integrated, and person-centred care is a goal.

Abstract
A 263-nm Thomson-scattering beam was used to directly probe two-plasmon-decay (TPD) excited electron plasma waves (EPWs) driven by between two and five 351-nm beams on the OMEGA Laser System. The amplitude of these waves was nearly independent of the number of drive beams at constant overlapped intensity, showing that the observed EPWs are common to the multiple beams. In an experimental configuration where the Thomson-scattering diagnostic was not wave matched to the common TPD EPWs, a broad spectrum of TPD-driven EPWs was observed, indicative of nonlinear effects associated with TPD saturation. Electron plasma waves corresponding to Langmuir decay of TPD EPWs were observed in both Thomson-scattering spectra, suggesting the Langmuir decay instability as a TPD saturation mechanism. Simulated Thomson-scattering spectra from three-dimensional numerical solutions of the extended Zakharov equations of TPD are in excellent agreement with the experimental spectra and verify the presence of the Langmuir decay instability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) is a curable malignancy with studies showing above 90% survival. However, population-based studies looking at survival suggest that approximately 30% of patients with APL die during induction. Early demonstration of t(15;17) will lead to accurate decision making regarding treatment. The aim of this project was to validate earlier time frames for the Abbott Molecular Vysis LSI promyelocytic leukemia (PML)/ retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe (ASR 6-16 h). METHODS Twenty patients (15 APL cases and five non-APL cases) were selected for validating various hybridization times for the FISH probe. Expected normal signal pattern was two red and two green signals (2R2G), and the most common expected abnormal signal pattern was two fusion (yellow) signals, one red and one green (2F1R1G) and/or one fusion, one red and one green (1F1R1G). RESULTS The specificity of the probe ranged from 84% at 2 h, 86% at 4 h, 84% at 6 h, and 87% for overnight hybridization. The sensitivity increased from 79% at 2 h, 80% at 4 h, 81% at 6 h to 87% for overnight hybridization. CONCLUSION Based on the validation studies, we recommend reading of FISH results at the 4-h incubation mark for a preliminary diagnosis and confirmation with overnight hybridization.

Abstract
The copolymerization of epoxides, including cyclohexene oxide and vinyl-cyclohexene oxide with carbon dioxide are presented. These processes are catalyzed using a homogeneous di-zinc complex that shows good activity and very high selectivities for polycarbonate polyol formation. The polymerizations are investigated in the presence of different amounts of exogenous reagents, including water, diols and diamines, as models for common contaminants in any carbon dioxide capture and utilization scenario.
