Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Although the indication for total mastectomy (TM) with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has been expanded, IBR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is still controversy. We assumed that TM with IBR after NACT is feasible surgical treatment in breast cancer patients. Methods: A retrospective review of breast cancer patients who underwent TM with IBR after NACT between 2008 and 2015 at a single center was conducted. These cases were matched by 1:5 to patients who underwent mastectomy alone after NACT. Matching variables included age, clinical T and N staging before NACT, response to NACT, and pathologic staging after NACT. Pathological stage was followed by seventh American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification. Results: Overall, 31 patients were identified in the TM with IBR group (Study group) and 85 patients (Control group) were matched. In the study group, 13 (41.9%) patients underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and 18 (58.1%) underwent skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM). Median follow-up duration was 29.2 (7-31) and 38.8 (11-85) months for the study and control group, respectively. Median age was 37.0 (26-57) and 40.0 (24-56) years for the study and control group, respectively. The clinicopathologic characteristics of both groups are summarized in Table1. Disease-free survival (p=0.520), local recurrence-free survival (p=0.610), distant metastasis-free survival (p=0.795), and over survival (p=0.971) did not differ significantly between two groups. Conclusion: TM with IBR after NACT is feasible surgical treatment option in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Pathogenic T helper cells (TH) and macrophages have been implicated in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which can lead to severe synovial inflammation and bone destruction. A range of therapies have been widely used for RA, including specific monoclonal antibodies and chemical inhibitors against inflammatory cytokines produced by these cells. However, these have not been sufficient to meet the medical need. Here, we show that in transgenic mice expressing truncated IK (tIK) cytokine, inflammatory arthritis symptoms were ameliorated as the result of suppression of the differentiation of TH1 and TH17 cells and of macrophage activation. During inflammatory responses, tIK cytokine systemically regulated macrophage functions and TH17 cell differentiation through inactivation of the MAPK and NF-κB pathways. Interestingly, the level of tIK cytokine was higher in synovial fluid of RA patients compared with that in osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Our observations suggest that tIK cytokine can counterbalance the induction of inflammatory cells related to RA and thus could be a new therapeutic agent for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
We performed a retrospective study of 1868 consecutive unrelated donors to predict the risk factors related to general discomfort, limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) and intention of a second donation in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donation. General discomfort and limitations in ADLs were assessed by numerical measurement (scores of 0-10) and donor's intention of a second donation by yes or no reply. The post-donation questionnaires were completed within 48 h after HSC collection and at 1 week, 4 weeks, and 4 months thereafter. Predictors of general discomfort included female sex (P<0.0001), bone marrow (BM) collection (P<0.0001) or PBSC collection through a central line (CL; P=0.0349), 2-day collection (P=0.0150) and negative or undetermined intention of a second donation on day 1 (P<0.0001). Predictors of limitations in ADLs included age group of 30-39 years (P=0.0046), female sex (P<0.0001), BM collection (P<0.0001) or PBSC collection through a CL (P<0.0001) and negative or undetermined intention of a second donation on day 1 (P<0.0001). The only predictor of positive intention of a second donation was male sex (P=0.0007). Age, sex and collection method and period should be considered risk factors when unrelated HSC donation is performed.

Abstract
As the diffraction limit is approached, device miniaturization to integrate more functionality per area becomes more and more challenging. Here we propose a strategy to increase the functionality-per-area by exploiting the modal properties of a waveguide system. With such an approach the design of a mode-multiplexed nanophotonic modulator relying on the mode-selective absorption of a patterned indium-tin-oxide (ITO) is proposed. Full-wave simulations of a device operating at the telecom wavelength of 1550 nm show that two modes can be independently modulated, while maintaining performances in line with conventional single-mode ITO modulators reported in the recent literature. The proposed design principles can pave the way to a class of mode-multiplexed compact photonic devices able to effectively multiply the functionality-per-area in integrated photonic systems.

Abstract
We report a study on tuning the charge density wave (CDW) ferromagnet SmNiC2 to a weakly coupled superconductor by substituting La for Sm. X-ray diffraction measurements show that the doped compounds obey Vegard's law, where La (Lu) alloying expands (shrinks) the lattice due to its larger (smaller) atomic size than Sm. In the series Sm1-xLaxNiC2, CDW transition (TCDW = 148 K) for SmNiC2 is gradually suppressed, while the ferromagnetic (FM) ordering temperature (TC) at 17 K slightly increases up to x = 0.3. For x > 0.3, TC starts to decrease and there is no signature that could be related with the CDW phase. Electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements point toward the possible presence of a FM quantum critical point (QCP) near x = 0.92, where the TC is extrapolated to zero temperature. Superconductivity in LaNiC2 (Tsc = 2.9 K) is completely suppressed with small amount of Sm inclusion near the proposed FM critical point, indicating a competition between the two ordered phases. The tunable lattice parameters via chemical substitution (La,Lu) and the ensuing change among the ordered phases of ferromagnetism, CDW and superconductivity underscores that SmNiC2 provides a rich avenue to study the rare example of a FM QCP, where the broken symmetries are intricately correlated.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies that disrupt CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) interactions are likely to have use in human transplantation. However, the extent of the immunosuppressive effects of CD40-CD40L blockade in humans is unknown. Hyper-IgM syndrome (HIGM) is a rare primary immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by defects in the CD40-CD40L pathway, severe immune deficiency (IgG), and high or normal IgM levels. However, the effects of CD40L deficiency on T- and natural killer (NK)-cell function is not established. Here, we present a patient with HIGM syndrome who underwent liver transplantation for hepatitis C virus infection. Posttransplantation, NK-cell antibody-dependent cytokine release (γ-interferon) to alloantigens and T cell responses to viral antigens and mitogens were assessed and showed normal CD4+ , CD8+ , and NK-cell responses. We also examined antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against a CD40+ and HLA-expressing cell line. These experiments confirmed that the patient's NK cells were equivalent to those of normal subjects in mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity despite the absence of CD40-CD40L interactions. Mitogenic stimulation of the patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed no expression of CD40L on T and NK cells compared with increased expression in normal subjects. Taken together, these data suggest that absence of CD40L expression is responsible for aberrant B cell immunity but had little impact on NK- and T cell immune responses in vitro.

Abstract
Breast cancer cells generally develop resistance to TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) and, therefore, assistance from sensitizers is required. In our study, we have demonstrated that Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor Bay 61–3606 was identified as a TRAIL sensitizer. Amplification of TRAIL-induced apoptosis by Bay 61–3606 was accompanied by the strong activation of Bak, caspases, and DNA fragmentation. In mechanism of action, Bay 61–3606 sensitized cells to TRAIL via two mechanisms regulating myeloid cell leukemia sequence-1 (Mcl-1). First, Bay 61–3606 triggered ubiquitin-dependent degradation of Mcl-1 by regulating Mcl-1 phosphorylation. Second, Bay 61–3606 downregulates Mcl-1 expression at the transcription level. In this context, Bay 61–3606 acted as an inhibitor of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase (CDK) 9 rather than Syk. In summary, Bay 61–3606 downregulates Mcl-1 expression in breast cancer cells and sensitizes cancer cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) occurs in 0.1% of persons per year, affecting 15%-40% of general surgical procedures without prophylaxis. Thromboembolic prophylaxis is not commonly used after orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) owing to the risks of bleeding and coagulopathy. Cirrhosis and the association with the coagulation cascade, before and after transplantation, are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of DVT and its risk factors after LT. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed LTs performed at our center from 2005 to 2012. We identified patients with Doppler examinations showing DVT after LT, platelet count, and international normalized ratio (INR) at time of DVT, associated symptoms, DVT prophylaxis, and perioperative risk factors. We determined the incidence of DVT, the odds ratio of each preoperative risk factor, the difference in platelet count and INR between those with and without a DVT, and the weighted risk of each factor in the development of DVT with the use of logistic regression modeling. RESULTS Of 314 patients, the incidence of DVT was 8.6% (27/314). Between those with and without DVT there was no significant difference in age, sex, platelet count, INR, infection, hepatocellular cancer, use of venous bypass, and prior surgery. There was a significant difference in mobility, 67% vs 20% (P < .0001), and the use of factor VII, 11% vs 2% (P < .05). The estimated risk for of developing DVT for patients with neither of these factors was 4%; with factor VII the risk rose to 17%; with mobility difficulty the risk rose to 23%; and with both the risk was 62%. In our entire population, there were no cases of pulmonary embolism. CONCLUSIONS The risk of developing a DVT after LT is ≥9% even with mechanical DVT prophylaxis. Consideration should be given to using both mechanical and chemical prophylaxis after LT.
