Abstract
Classical human leukocyte antigens (HLA) genes confer the strongest, but not the only, genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR), on natural killer (NK) cells, bind ligands including class I HLA. We examined presence or absence, with copy number, of KIR loci in 1698 individuals, from 339 multiplex type 1 diabetes families, from the Human Biological Data Interchange, previously genotyped for HLA. Combining family data with KIR copy number information allowed assignment of haplotypes using identity by descent. This is the first disease study to use KIR copy number typing and unambiguously define haplotypes by gene transmission. KIR A1 haplotypes were positively associated with T1D in the subset of patients without the high T1D risk HLA genotype, DR3/DR4 (odds ratio=1.29, P=0.0096). The data point to a role for KIR in type 1 diabetes risk in late-onset patients. In the top quartile (age of onset>14), KIR A2 haplotype was overtransmitted (63.4%, odds ratio=1.73, P=0.024) and KIR B haplotypes were undertransmitted (41.1%, odds ratio=0.70, P=0.0052) to patients. The data suggest that inhibitory ‘A' haplotypes are predisposing and stimulatory ‘B' haplotypes confer protection in both DR3/DR4-negative and late-onset patient groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Anthropometry for measuring body composition, shape, surface area and volume is important for human clinical research and practice. Although training and technical skills are required for traditional tape and caliper anthropometry, a new opportunity exists for automated measurement using newly developed relatively low-cost three-dimensional (3D) imaging devices. The aim of this study was to compare results provided by a Kinect-based device to a traditional laser 3D reference system. SUBJECTS/METHODS Measurements made by the evaluated device, a hybrid of commercially purchased hardware (KX-16; TC(2), Cary, NC, USA) with our additional added software, were compared with those derived by a high-resolution laser scanner (Vitus Smart XXL; Human Solutions North America, Cary, NC, USA). Both imaging systems were compared with additional linear (stadiometer-derived height) and volumetric (total volume, air-displacement plethysmography) measurements. Subjects (n=101) were healthy children (age ≥5 years) and adults varying in body mass index. RESULTS Representative linear (4), circumferential (6), volumetric (3) and surface area (1) measurements made by the Kinect-based device showed a consistent pattern relative to the laser system: high correlations (R(2)s= 0.70-0.99, all P<0.001); 1-3% differences for large linear (for example, height, X±s.d., -1.4±0.5%), circumferential (for example, waist circumference, -2.1±1.8%), volume (for example, total body, -0.8±2.2%) and surface area (whole-body, -1.7±2.0%) estimates. By contrast, mean measurement differences were substantially larger for small structures (for example, forearm volume, 31.3±31.4%). CONCLUSIONS Low-cost 3D Kinect-based imaging systems have the potential for providing automated accurate anthropometric and related body measurements for relatively large components; further hardware and software developments may be able to improve system small-component resolution.

Abstract
Current standard of care for muscle-invasive urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) is surgery along with perioperative platinum-based chemotherapy. UCC is sensitive to cisplatin-based regimens, but acquired resistance eventually occurs, and a subset of tumors is intrinsically resistant. Thus, there is an unmet need for new therapeutic approaches to target chemotherapy-resistant UCC. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a transcriptional co-activator that has been associated with bladder cancer progression and cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer. In contrast, YAP has been shown to induce DNA damage associated apoptosis in non-small cell lung carcinoma. However, no data have been reported on the YAP role in UCC chemo-resistance. Thus, we have investigated the potential dichotomous role of YAP in UCC response to chemotherapy utilizing two patient-derived xenograft models recently established. Constitutive expression and activation of YAP inversely correlated with in vitro and in vivo cisplatin sensitivity. YAP overexpression protected while YAP knock-down sensitized UCC cells to chemotherapy and radiation effects via increased accumulation of DNA damage and apoptosis. Furthermore, pharmacological YAP inhibition with verteporfin inhibited tumor cell proliferation and restored sensitivity to cisplatin. In addition, nuclear YAP expression was associated with poor outcome in UCC patients who received perioperative chemotherapy. In conclusion, these results suggest that YAP activation exerts a protective role and represents a pharmacological target to enhance the anti-tumor effects of DNA damaging modalities in the treatment of UCC.

Abstract
Anti-vibration gloves have been used to block the transmission of vibration from powered hand tools to the user, and to protect users from the negative health consequences associated with exposure to vibration. However, there are conflicting reports as to the efficacy of gloves in protecting workers. The goal of this study was to use a characterized animal model of vibration-induced peripheral vascular and nerve injury to determine whether antivibration materials reduced or inhibited the effects of vibration on these physiological symptoms. Rats were exposed to 4 h of tail vibration at 125 Hz with an acceleration 49 m/s(2). The platform was either bare or covered with antivibrating glove material. Rats were tested for tactile sensitivity to applied pressure before and after vibration exposure. One day following the exposure, ventral tail arteries were assessed for sensitivity to vasodilating and vasoconstricting factors and nerves were examined histologically for early indicators of edema and inflammation. Ventral tail artery responses to an α2C-adrenoreceptor agonist were enhanced in arteries from vibration-exposed rats compared to controls, regardless of whether antivibration materials were used or not. Rats exposed to vibration were also less sensitive to pressure after exposure. These findings are consistent with experimental findings in humans suggesting that antivibration gloves may not provide protection against the adverse health consequences of vibration exposure in all conditions. Additional studies need to be done examining newer antivibration materials.

Abstract
Maternal progesterone (P4) regulates early conceptus growth and development in ruminants. Early embryo transfer studies in sheep and cattle demonstrated a need for close synchrony between the embryo and the uterine environment of the recipient. However, manipulating P4 may be one way of strategically regulating the temporal changes that normally occur in the uterine environment in order to allow flexibility in the timing of embryo transfer. For example, previous studies have demonstrated that P4 administration during the first few days of the oestrous cycle facilitates pregnancy establishment with older embryos. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of embryo-uterine synchrony on conceptus elongation in cattle. Oestrous cycles of crossbred beef heifers were synchronised using an 8-day P4-Releasing Intravaginal Device (PRID Delta®, CEVA, Mountain View, CA, USA) with administration of a prostaglandin F2α analogue (Enzaprost®, CEVA; 5 mL equivalent to 25 mg of dinoprost) given on the day before PRID removal. Heifers were checked for signs of oestrus 4 times per day commencing 30 h after PRID withdrawal. Only those seen in standing oestrus (n = 50) were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatment groups to receive Day 7 in vitro-produced blastocysts (n = 10 per recipient) (1) on Day 5 post-oestrus; (2) on Day 5, with P4 supplementation via PRID from Day 3 to 5 + 750 IU of eCG at PRID insertion; (3) on Day 5, PRID Delta from Day 3 to 5 plus 3000 IU of hCG at PRID insertion; (4) on Day 7, or (5) on Day 9. At embryo age Day 14, all heifers were slaughtered and the uterus was flushed to recover and measure conceptuses. Data are summarised in Table 1. Fewer recipients yielded conceptuses (P < 0.05) and fewer conceptuses overall were recovered (P < 0.05) following transfer on Day 5 compared with Day 7 or Day 9. Supplementation with P4 resulted in short cycles (evidenced by corpus luteum regression and/or a recent ovulation at slaughter) in 33.3 to 54.5% of recipients receiving embryos on Day 5. Mean conceptus length was greater (P < 0.05) following transfer to an advanced uterus. In conclusion, transfer of embryos to a retarded (Day 5) uterine environment results in poor embryo survival. Supplementation with P4 shortened the interoestrous period in a significant number of heifers. Transfer to an advanced uterine environment promotes conceptus elongation, presumably driven by P4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common extramuscular manifestation of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM). Patients with antisynthetase antibodies (ASA) demonstrate some or all of the features of the antisynthetase syndrome including IIM and ILD. It has been hypothesized that the clinical expression of antisynthetase syndrome varies between specific ASAs. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether the myositis-associated ILD (MA-ILD) phenotype differs based on the presence of ASAs and by ASA subtype. METHODS A cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of consecutive patients enrolled at the Johns Hopkins Myositis Center with ILD in the setting of clinically diagnosed autoimmune myositis was conducted. RESULTS Seventy-seven subjects were included; 36 were ASA negative, 28 were anti-Jo1 positive, and 13 were non-Jo1 ASA positive (5 anti-PL-12, 4 anti-PL-7, 2 anti-EJ, and 2 anti-OJ). Non-Jo1 ASA positive participants were more likely to be African-American than Caucasian as compared to both the anti-Jo1 positive (p = 0.01) and ASA negative groups (p < 0.01). ASA negative participants had better mean forced vital capacity percent predicted (FVC%) and total computed tomography scores over time compared to those with anti-Jo1 after controlling for potential confounders. CONCLUSIONS ASA status was significantly different by race. Those with anti-Jo1 antibodies had worse lung function and CT scores over time compared to those without detectable antisynthetase antibodies. Further prospective study in a larger cohort is needed to determine whether these apparent antibody-specific differences in demographics and manifestations of disease translate into meaningful disparities in clinical outcomes.
