Abstract
We performed a randomised trial comparing the CEL-100 videolaryngoscope(TM) with the Macintosh laryngoscope blade in 170 patients undergoing double-lumen tube placement for thoracic surgery. Compared with the Macintosh laryngoscope blade, use of the CEL-100 resulted in significantly more patients with a Cormack and Lehane Grade-1 laryngeal view (90.4% vs 61.0%, p < 0.001), a higher rate of successful intubation on the first attempt (92.8% vs 79.3%, p = 0.012), a lower median (IQR [range]) intubation difficulty score (0 (0-0 [0-60]) vs 15 (0-30 [0-80]), p < 0.001), a higher incidence of correct positioning of the tube (90.3% vs 79.2%, p = 0.041) and significantly fewer patients requiring external laryngeal pressure (19.3% vs 32.9%, p = 0.046). Median (IQR [range]) time to successful intubation was 45 (38-55 [22-132]) s with the CEL-100 compared with 51 (40-61 [30-160] s using the Macintosh laryngoscope blade. We conclude that the CEL-100 videolaryngoscope is superior to the Macintosh laryngoscope blade for double-lumen tube insertion.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are two of the most common medical complications of pregnancy, with risks for both mother and child. Like many other antepartum complications, PE and GDM occur only in pregnancy. However, it is not clear if pregnancy itself is the cause of these complications or it these conditions are caused by factors that existed prior to gestation. In this paper, we hypothesize that although the clinical findings of PE and GDM are first noted during pregnancy, the origins of both conditions may actually precede pregnancy. We further hypothesize that pathophysiologic changes underlying PE and GDM are present prior to pregnancy, but remain undetected in the non-gravid state either because pregnancy is the trigger that makes these pathologies become clinically detectable or because there has been limited prospective longitudinal data comparing the pre-gravid and antepartum status of women that go on to develop these conditions. Rigorous prospective cohort studies in which women undergo serial systematic evaluation in the pre-conception period, throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum are ideally needed to test this hypothesis of pre-conception origins of PE and GDM. In this context, we are creating a pre-conception cohort, involving about 5000 couples who plan to have a baby within six months in Liuyang county in the Chinese province of Hunan. Results from this pre-conception cohort program should be able to provide definitive answer to the question of whether the underpinnings of PE and GDM originate prior to pregnancy. Ultimately, the significance of addressing this hypothesis is underscored by its potential implications for targeted interventions that could be designed to (i) prevent the deleterious effects of PE/GDM and (ii) thereby interrupt the vicious cycle of disease that links affected women and their offspring.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigate the impact of a tightly bound water molecule on ligand binding in the S1 pocket of thrombin. The S1 pocket contains a deeply buried deprotonated aspartate residue (Asp189) that is, due to its charged state, well hydrated in the uncomplexed state. We systematically studied the importance of this water molecule by evaluating a series of ligands that contains pyridine-type P1 side chains that could potentially alter the binding properties of this water molecule. All of the pyridine derivatives retain the original hydration state albeit sometimes with a slight perturbance. In order to prevent a direct H-bond formation with Asp189, and to create a permanent positive charge on the P1 side chain that is positioned adjacent to the Asp189 carboxylate anion, we methylated the pyridine nitrogen. This methylation resulted in displacement of water but was accompanied by a loss in binding affinity. Quantum chemical calculations of the ligand solvation free energy showed that the positively charged methylpyridinium derivatives suffer a large penalty of desolvation upon binding. Consequently, they have a substantially less favorable enthalpy of binding. In addition to the ligand desolvation penalty, the hydration shell around Asp189 has to be overcome, which is achieved in nearly all pyridinium derivatives. Only for the ortho derivative is a partial population of a water next to Asp189 found. Possibly, the gain of electrostatic interactions between the charged P1 side chain and Asp189 helps to compensate for the desolvation penalty. In all uncharged pyridine derivatives, the solvation shell remains next to Asp189, partly mediating interactions between ligand and protein. In the case of the para-pyridine derivative, a strongly disordered cluster of water sites is observed between ligand and Asp189.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of cardiovascular (CV) disease remains high despite substantial improvements in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal achievement rates. METHODS AND RESULTS Two cohorts of mixed dyslipidaemia patients were identified from the HealthCore Integrated Research Database. Patients with no baseline lipids [LDL-C, triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] at optimal values (n=27,094) and patients at LDL-C goal but with at least one other lipid not at optimal value at baseline (n=83,067) were followed for approximately 2 years. The primary outcome was the association between achievement of optimal lipid values (OLV) and occurrence of ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease or peripheral arterial disease. Achievement of OLV during follow up occurred in 6.8% of patients with no baseline lipids at optimal values and in 17.9% of patients at LDL-C goal with at least one other lipid not at optimal value at baseline. After adjustment, significant reductions in CV events were associated with achievement of OLV across the entire lipid panel in patients who had no optimal baseline lipid values (hazard ratio, 0.407; 95% confidence interval, 0.303-0.546) or when patients were at LDL-C goals at baseline (hazard ratio, 0.764; 95% confidence interval, 0.703-0.831). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, challenges to effective treatment of mixed dyslipidaemia remain, as evidenced by a minority of patients achieving optimal lipid levels. There appears to be an association with incremental lowering of CV event rates beyond LDL-C goal attainment when compared with achieving OLV across the entire lipid panel for LDL-C, TG and HDL-C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Animal studies have shown that regional anaesthesia and analgesia may prevent or attenuate the surgical stress response by preserving immune function and result in better long-term outcome. We have tested the hypothesis that patients with ovarian serous adenocarcinoma who had surgery with epidural anaesthesia and analgesia would have better long-term outcome than those who were given general anaesthesia (GA) and i.v. opioid analgesia. METHODS A retrospective review of medical records identified 143 patients with ovarian serous adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery between January 1994 and October 2006 at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Data in the analysis included age, anaesthesia-analgesia technique, ASA status, blood loss, transfusion, duration of surgery, status of preoperative cancer antigen 125, tumour size, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, histological grade, lymph node status, residual macroscopic tumour, and chemotherapy. Survival analysis was made with the main outcome measure of death. RESULTS The 3- and 5-yr overall survival rates were 78% and 61% in the patient group who received epidural anaesthesia and analgesia (Group E, n=106), and 58% and 49% in the patient group who received GA and i.v. opioid analgesia (Group G, n=37), respectively. After adjusting for the other variables, Group G had a hazard ratio of 1.214 (P=0.043) in a multivariable Cox regression model compared with Group E. CONCLUSIONS This retrospective analysis suggests that epidural anaesthesia and analgesia for ovarian serous adenocarcinoma surgery may reduce mortality during the initial years of follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adenosine is considered as a potent endogenous anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive molecule. We examined the roles of A2A-adenosine receptor (A(2A)R) in the progression of lupus nephritis. METHODS MRL/lpr mice were given a selective A(2A)R agonist, CGS21680 (0.4 mg/kg per day, i.p.) while control mice received saline only. After 8 weeks of treatment, mice were sacrificed for assessment of functional and histological parameters as well as inflammatory infiltration in the kidneys. MCP-1, IFN-γ, MHC-II and A(2A)R mRNA expression was evaluated by RT-PCR. Expression of A(2A)R and nuclear NFκB p65 protein was determined by Western blot analysis. Levels of anti-dsDNA antibody and IFN-γ were measured by ELISA. RESULTS CGS21680 treatment resulted in significant decrease in proteinuria, blood urea and creatinine as well as improvement in renal histology. Renal macrophage and T-cell infiltration were significantly attenuated in association with suppressed expression of MCP-1, IFN-γ and MHC-II. CGS21680 treatment reduced the level of serum anti-dsDNA and renal immune complex deposition. CGS21680 inhibited the activation of NFκB and suppressed the expression of IFN-γ, MCP-1 and MHC-II in MRL/lpr splenocytes. CONCLUSIONS A(2A)R activation suppressed inflammation in the kidneys of MRL/lpr mice and can be considered as a novel therapeutic approach for human lupus nephritis.

Abstract
Transplant glomerulitis is an increasingly recognized lesion in renal transplant biopsies. To develop a refined grading system, we defined glomerulitis by the presence of ≥5 leukocytes/glomerulus and evaluated 111 biopsies using three different grading systems: (i) percentage of glomerular involvement, (ii) peak inflammation in the most severely affected glomerulus and (iii) presence/absence of endocapillary occlusion by inflammatory cells. Endocapillary occlusion had no impact on graft survival, but was associated with increased serum creatinine, proteinuria and subsequent transplant glomerulopathy. Grading based on either percent or peak glomerular involvement correlated with graft failure and peritubular capillaritis. However, the percent glomerular involvement method had the additional advantage of displaying associations with: concurrent proteinuria, focal or diffuse immunoperoxidase peritubular capillary C4d staining, 1-year postbiopsy serum creatinine, subsequent detection of donor-specific antibody and development of transplant glomerulopathy. Patients with >75% glomerular involvement also revealed persistent high-grade glomerulitis on follow-up biopsies despite antirejection treatment. In conclusion, grading of glomerulitis is a meaningful exercise, and a quantification system based on percentage of glomerular involvement shows the most robust associations with clinical parameters and prognosis.

Abstract
Background: To evaluate the clinical and economic impact of a
specialty care management program among patients with multiple sclerosis. Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis included patients aged
≥18 years with ≥2 claims of multiple
sclerosis diagnosis and ≥1 multiple sclerosis medications from 1
January 2004 to 30 April 2008. The outcome metrics included medication adherence
and persistence, multiple sclerosis-related hospitalization, and multiple
sclerosis-related cost. Multivariate analyses were performed to adjust for
demographics and clinical characteristics. Results: Among the 3993 patients identified, 78.3%
participated in the program and 21.7% did not. Over
12 months, medication adherence and persistence improved among
participants but deteriorated among non-participants (medication possession
ratio change: +0.08 vs −0.03,
p < 0.001; persistence
change: +29.2 days vs −9.2 days,
p < 0.001). Multiple
sclerosis-related hospitalization decreased from 9.6% to
7.1% for participants, whereas it increased from 10.1%
to 12.0% for the non-participant group
(p < 0.001). Multiple
sclerosis-related medical spending (non-pharmacy) decreased among participants,
but it increased among non-participants (mean: −US$264
vs + US$1536,
p < 0.001). Total multiple
sclerosis-related cost for both groups increased over time
(+US$4471 vs +US$4087,
p < 0.001). Conclusions: This program was associated with improved medication
adherence and persistence, reduced multiple sclerosis-related hospitalization,
and decreased multiple sclerosis-related medical costs. Unfortunately, the cost
savings in the medical component did not offset the increased pharmacy
expenditures during the 12-month follow-up period.

Abstract
Cytokines are known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN) and the Jak/STAT (Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription factor) pathway is important in mediating signal transduction of cytokines. This study examined the pathogenic role of Jak/STAT signaling in LN. MRL/lpr mice were either treated with a selective Jak2 inhibitor tyrphostin AG490 or with vehicle alone from 12 weeks of age until being sacrificed at week 20. AG490 significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of Jak2 and STAT1 (p < 0.05). Compared with the vehicle-treated mice, AG490 treatment significantly reduced proteinuria, improved renal function and suppressed histological lesions of the kidneys and salivary glands (p < 0.05). AG490 treatment significantly inhibited the renal expression of monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, interferon (IFN)-gamma and class II MHC, which was accompanied by reduced renal infiltration of T cells and macrophages (p < 0.05). In addition, AG490 treatment resulted in a decrease in serum anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibody and attenuated the deposition of IgG and C3 in the kidneys (p < 0.05). This study demonstrated that Jak/STAT pathway is implicated in the progression of renal inflammation in MRL/lpr mice and targeting this pathway may provide a potential therapeutic approach for LN.
