Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an increasing clinical problem that is associated with chronic kidney disease progression. Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) activation has been shown to mitigate some of the deleterious tubular effects due to AKI, but its role on the renal vasculature has not been fully described. In this study, we investigated the effects of our novel CB2 receptor agonist, SMM-295, on renal vasculature by assessing cortical perfusion with laser Doppler flowmetry and changes in luminal diameter with isolated afferent arterioles. In this study, intravenously infused SMM-295 (6 mg/kg) significantly increased cortical renal perfusion (13.8 ± 0.6%; P < 0.0001; n = 7) compared with vehicle (0.1 ± 1.5%; n = 10) normalized to baseline values in anesthetized C57BL/6J mice. This effect was not dependent upon activation of the CB1 receptor (met-anandamide; 6 mg/kg iv) and was predominantly abolished in Cnr2 knockout mice with SMM-295 (6 mg/kg iv). Ablation of the renal afferent nerves with capsaicin blocked the SMM-295-dependent increase in renal cortical perfusion, and the increased renal blood flow was not dependent upon products synthesized by cyclooxygenase or nitric oxide synthase. The increased renal perfusion by CB2 receptor activation is also attributed to a direct vascular effect, since SMM-295 (5 μM) engendered a significant 37 ± 7% increase ( P < 0.0001; n = 4) in luminal diameters of norepinephrine-preconstricted afferent arterioles. These data provide new insight into the potential benefit of SMM-295 by activating vascular and nonvascular CB2 receptors to promote renal vasodilation, and provide a new therapeutic target to treat renal injuries that impact renal blood flow dynamics.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop a minimally-invasive, ultrasound-guided percutaneous flexor tendon sheath lavage technique on cadaver model. Two catheters were inserted using ultrasound guidance at the proximal and distal ends of the tendon sheath in 20 fingers from cadaveric forearms. Percutaneous injection of a saline solution colored with methylene blue resulted in anterograde lavage of the flexor tendon sheath. The technique was successful in 13 out of 20 cases. The proximal catheter was in the correct position in 17 cases and the distal catheter was correctly positioned in 15 cases. The flexor tendons were continuous in all cases and had puncture wounds in 9 cases. Based on our study, this minimally-invasive, ultrasound-guided percutaneous lavage of the flexor tendon sheath was effective in 65% of cases and safe in 100% of cases in the index, middle and ring fingers. If this percutaneous lavage fails, it is always possible to switch to a conventional open technique.

Abstract
Exposure to a natural disaster in childhood can have serious, long-lasting consequences, impacting physical and mental health, development, and learning. Although many children experience negative effects after a disaster, the majority do not, and what differentiates these groups is not well understood. Some of the factors that influence disaster-related outcomes in the midst of adversity include parents' mental health, the home environment, and socioeconomic status. Furthermore, genetics has also a role to play in how children respond to stressors. We had the opportunity to conduct a natural experiment of disaster recovery following the Alberta 2013 Flood. This paper presents the detailed protocol on prediction of resilience in Albertan families, and validation with cortisol data. In addition, data collection procedures, developing resiliency screening tools, candidate gene identification, genotyping, DNA methylation, and genomic analyses are described to achieve the research objectives. This study produced new knowledge by using pre- and post-disaster information on children's health and development, including children's genetics and responses to stress. This information has been identified as important to governments and other organizations invested in early child development. Our comprehensive research plan generates evidence that can be mobilized population-based approaches to improve child and family resiliency.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) play vital roles in various immune diseases including
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The current study aimed to assess the role
of miR-145 in interleukin-6 (IL-6)-treated HaCaT cells under ultraviolet B (UVB)
irradiation and further explore the potential regulatory mechanism. HaCaT cells
were pretreated with IL-6 and then exposed to UVB to assess the effect of IL-6
on sensitivity of HaCaT cells to UVB irradiation. The levels of miR-145 and
MyD88 were altered by transfection and the transfected efficiency was verified
by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction
(qRT-PCR)/western blot analysis. Cell viability, percentage of apoptotic cells
and expression levels of apoptosis-related factors were measured by trypan blue
assay, flow cytometry assay, and western blot analysis, respectively. In
addition, the levels of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and nuclear factor-κB
(NF-κB) signaling pathway-related factors were assessed by western blot
analysis. IL-6 treatments significantly aggravated the reduction of cell
viability and promotion of cell apoptosis caused by UVB irradiation in HaCaT
cells. Interestingly, miR-145 level was augmented by UVB exposure and miR-145
mimic alleviated IL-6-induced increase of sensitivity to UVB irradiation in
HaCaT cells, as dramatically increased cell viability and reduced cell
apoptosis. Opposite effects were observed in miR-145 inhibitor-transfected
cells. Meanwhile, MyD88 was negatively regulated by miR-145 and MyD88 mediated
the regulatory effect of miR-145 on IL-6- and UVB-treated cells. In addition,
miR-145 mimic inhibited the JNK and NF-κB pathways by down-regulating MyD88. In
conclusion, the present study demonstrated that miR-145 alleviated IL-6-induced
increase of sensitivity to UVB irradiation by down-regulating MyD88 in HaCaT
cells.

Abstract
Background: As the life expectancy of Americans becomes longer, the number of individuals who are diagnosed with cancer and other comorbidities increases rapidly. Management of these patients can become increasingly complicated as physicians administer multiple combinations of drugs and therapies. However, the complexities of how age and comorbidities affect receipt of cancer treatment are not well understood. Aim: To explore the association between age, comorbidities, and subsequent cancer treatment in the elderly diagnosed with the four most common types of cancer in the United States. Methods: We used SEER-Medicare data, which covers 28% of the U.S. population, to explore the association between age, comorbidities, and receipt of cancer treatment within 6 months of diagnosis in 727,136 individuals over 65 years old and diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer from 1992-2011. Comorbidity burden was measured using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and analyzed as four quantities (Q1: lowest CCI score to Q4: highest CCI score). Poisson regression models were used to assess the associations between comorbidities and cancer treatment, and whether age modified this relationship. Results: Cancer treatment proportion declined rapidly with age for all cancers while median CCI scores increased with age among breast, colorectal, prostate cancer patients and appeared stable among lung cancer patients. For example, individuals aged 76-99 had higher CCI scores ( P < 0.001) and were less likely to be treated (69.8% vs. 81.1% of those age 66-75 year; P < 0.001). After adjustment for potential confounders, we found that high CCI scores (Q3-Q4) were associated with substantially lower cancer treatment rates compared to low CCI score (Q1) in all cancer patients aged 76-99. Regarding individuals aged 66-75, high CCI scores (Q3-Q4) were not associated with lower colorectal cancer treatment rates, and only the highest CCI score group (Q4) was associated with a modest reduction in breast and prostate cancer treatment rates compared to low CCI score (Q1) (PR [95% CI]: 0.97 [0.95-0.99] and 0.91 [0.88-0.93], respectively). Additional multivariable analysis showed that older patients (aged 76-99) with low CCI score (Q1-Q2) had equal or lower treatment rates compared to younger patients (aged 66-75) with the highest CCI scores (Q4). Conclusion: Our findings suggested that among those aged 66-75 years, comorbidities are less likely to influence the receipt of treatment when compared to individuals aged 76-99. The potential harms and benefits of treatment given these age by comorbidity interactions are not clear, but using curative interventions that only have a modest benefit in a highly comorbid aging population could potentially decrease patients' quality of life.
