Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the perinatal outcomes of high-risk asymptomatic women who attended a specialist preterm surveillance clinic (PSC) to undergo screening for spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) in Ireland. METHODS Single center, retrospective cohort study of asymptomatic high risk women who attended the PSC between January 2019 and December 2022. A comprehensive database of all patients who attended the clinic during the study period was constructed and analyzed. Overall outcomes were reported, and stratified per the occurrence of preterm or term birth. Iatrogenic PTBs were included in the outcome data. RESULTS Following exclusions for loss-to-follow-up, 762 cases were analyzed, constituting 2262 PSC visits. Of those, 183 women were prescribed progesterone (24.0 %), and 100 women underwent cervical cerclage (13.1 %) to prevent spontaneous PTB. Overall, 2.4 %, 6.2 % and 18.6 % of participants gave birth prior to 30 weeks, 34 weeks, and 37 weeks, respectively. The median gestational age at birth for the entire cohort was 38.6 weeks (inter-quartile range (IQR) 37.2-39.6 weeks). Women who delivered < 37 weeks were significantly more likely to be smokers (p = 0.030), have a previous spontaneous PTB (p = 0.016), have multiple pregnancies (p < 0.001), type 1 or 2 diabetes (p = 0.044), or have a previous full dilatation caesarean section birth (p = 0.024). Infants born prior to 37 weeks were more likely to have a lower median birthweight (2270 vs 3300 g, p < 0.001), be admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (53.8 % vs 2.3 %, p < 0.001) or experience short-term morbidity, including respiratory support (38.0 % vs 1.6 %, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Over 80% of women deemed to be at high risk of PTB gave birth at term gestations following attendance at a PSC during pregnancy. Most women can be successfully managed without interventions, instead employing a policy of serial cervical surveillance, to identify those at greatest risk of PTB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES External validation of the QUiPP App v.2 algorithms in an independent cohort of high-risk asymptomatic women attending an Irish preterm birth surveillance clinic (PSC). METHODS Retrospective, single center, observational study assessing discrimination and calibration of the QUiPP App v.2 at the six pre-determined clinical time points (birth prior to 30, 34, 37 weeks of pregnancy, and birth within one, two and four weeks of testing). Discrimination was assessed by estimating the area under the receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC) and sensitivity at fixed false-positive rates of 5%, 10% and 20%. Model calibration was assessed to evaluate the concordance between expected and observed outcomes. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. No adjustments for treatment effects were made. RESULTS 762 women and 1660 preterm birth surveillance clinic (PSC) visits utilizing the QUiPP between 2019 and 2022 were analyzed. The study population included 142 patients who later experienced a PTB (18.6%). QUiPP's performance to predict short-term outcomes such as birth within one week (AUC 0.866, 95% CI 0.755-0.955), two weeks (AUC 0.721, 95% CI 0.569-0.854) and four weeks (AUC 0.775, 95% CI 0.699-0.842), and delivery before 30 weeks (AUC 0.747, 95% CI 0.613-0.865) was superior to its ability to predict longer-term outcomes (birth <37 weeks; AUC 0.631, 95% CI 0.596-0.668). Calibration was generally good for low-risk results as the predicted risk in these patients tended to match the observed incidence. However, in women deemed to be at greater risk of delivery, the predicted probability superseded the observed incidence of PTB. CONCLUSION QUiPP accurately discriminates women who are at short-term risk of PTB. A treatment paradox may influence calibration in high-risk women. Further research is needed to ascertain if QUiPP treatment thresholds can be safely adjusted in women receiving prophylactic treatment to prevent PTB, and whether this improves outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Primary outcomes were to determine; 1) the desire for more patient information from healthcare professionals on preterm birth (PTB) prevention 2) the desire for PTB screening surveillance or participation in research or 3) the acceptability of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) or vaginal examinations to predict spontaneous PTB. METHODS A 19-question, piloted, self-administered survey was completed by unselected pregnant women in a tertiary maternity hospital in Dublin, Ireland. Data was collected to include maternal socio-demographics, past obstetric history, and current pregnancy details, in addition to views and preferences on PTB screening and preventative treatments. Statistical analysis to include binary and multinomial regression was performed by IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows (Version 29.0). RESULTS 277 women completed the study survey. 9.4% of women had attended the preterm birth surveillance clinic (PSC). 75.1% of respondents indicated a preference for more information from healthcare professionals about PTB. 65% reported that TVUS and vaginal examinations were acceptable in pregnancy. The acceptability of antenatal examinations was significantly influenced by ethnicity; white European (OR 2.58, CI 1.12-5.95, p = 0.003) and Asian (OR 3.39, CI 1.18-9.67, p = 0.02). Discomfort (25.3%) and vaginal bleeding (11.9%) were the most frequently reported concerns about TVUS. 95.7% of unselected women indicated that they would accept treatment to prevent PTB. Vaginal progesterone (53.8%) was preferred treatment compared to cervical cerclage (15.9%) or cervical pessary (16.6%). 55.6% of respondents stated they attend or wish to attend for additional appointments or research opportunities for PTB screening. Women with a previous PTB or second trimester miscarriage were more likely to attend or wish to attend for PTB screening (OR 3.23, CI 1.34-7.79, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION PTB is an important healthcare priority for pregnant women in Ireland. However, women require more information, counselling and reassurance about the utility and safety of TVUS in PSCs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
‘Next of kin’ (NOK) is a term widely used in the healthcare setting in Ireland to indicate an individual that can be contacted in the event of an emergency when a patient is in hospital. While it has its origins in Irish inheritance law, the term confers no legal or decision-making authority to any other individuals on behalf of a patient in hospital. However, anecdotally, the term is commonly misunderstood with a false belief among healthcare staff that consent should be sought from the NOK when a patient is unable to do so. In this study we sought to assess current understanding of the term among Irish non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs).
Methods
Data was collected via an online survey, completed by NCHDs across a number of medical and surgical disciplines to investigate their understanding of the term. Descriptive analysis of data was performed in Excel.
Results
118 NCHDs completed the survey. While 110 (93.2%) believed a NOK was an emergency contact, 53 (44.9%) believed they assisted in decision making; 58 (49.2%) thought they could provide medical information about the patient. Forty-four doctors (37.3%) believed a NOK was permitted to make medical decisions while 59 (50%) felt they could provide consent on behalf of an incapacitated patient. Sixty-three (53.4%) believed a NOK had legal entitlement to information over and above that of another family member or friend.
Conclusion
This study highlights several misconceptions surrounding the term ‘next of kin’ in the Irish healthcare setting, particularly around the area of decision-making authority and consent. The term is confusing and unhelpful and should not be used in healthcare. ‘Contact person’ or ‘emergency contact’ are appropriate alternatives. Further education to NCHDs around consent and maintenance of patient autonomy is necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heritability of naevi counts is widely acknowledged as a potential surveillance parameter for prevention purposes. The contribution of heritability to the changes seen in naevus number and morphology over time and their corresponding dermoscopic characteristics is unknown, but is important to understand in order to account for adequate prevention measures. OBJECTIVES To identify naevus characteristics that are strongly influenced by heritability. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 220 individuals [76 monozygotic (MZ), 144 dizygotic (DZ)], recruited from the Brisbane Twin Naevus Study. Participants received full body imaging and dermoscopy of naevi ≥ 5 mm in diameter. Dermoscopic type, total naevus count (TNC), change in TNC with age, and naevus distribution, size, colour and profile were compared between MZ and DZ twins. Heritability of these traits was assessed via Falconer's estimate. RESULTS Significant differences were found in comparing MZ and DZ twins for TNC, numbers of naevi 5·0-7·9 mm in diameter, counts of light-brown naevi, naevi on the back and sun-protected sites, and naevi with the 'nonspecific' dermoscopic pattern. CONCLUSIONS This study strongly supports a heritable component to TNC, as well as changes in TNC, and the number of medium-sized naevi, light-brown naevi, specific sites and certain dermoscopic features in adults. These characteristics should be taken into account by naevus surveillance programmes and further studied to identify candidate gene associations for clinical and dermoscopic patterns in conjunction with melanoma risk stratification.

Abstract
Achieving tight glycaemic control remains an unmet need for many patients with type 2 diabetes, despite improved treatments. To meet glycaemic targets, attempts have been made to improve existing drugs and to develop new classes of drugs. Recent advances include insulin analogues that more closely mimic physiologic insulin levels, and incretin-based therapies, which capitalize on the glucoregulatory properties of native glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Although promising, these agents are associated with limitations, including hypoglycaemia with insulin, gastrointestinal adverse events with GLP-1 receptor agonists and frequent dosing with both classes. Albumin is an abundant natural drug carrier that has been used to improve the half-life, tolerability and efficacy of a number of bioactive agents. Here, we review the physiologic roles of albumin and how albumin technologies are being used to prolong duration of action of therapies for diabetes, including insulin and incretin-based therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION signalling through dopamine receptors is of critical importance in the brain and is implicated in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS using a yeast two-hybrid approach, we previously identified 11 novel dopamine receptor-interacting proteins. Here we compare gene expression levels for 17 genes [including all 11 dopamine receptor interacting proteins, all 5 dopamine receptors (DRD1-DRD5) and DARPP-32] by real-time polymerase chain reaction, using prefrontal cortex post mortem brain samples from 33 schizophrenic, 32 bipolar disorder and 34 control subjects. RESULTS the expression of C14ORF28, GNB2L1, MLLT3, DRD2 and DARPP-32 genes was altered in schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder samples relative to controls (P < 0.05). Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed the expression of these five genes (C14ORF28, GNB2L1, MLLT3, DARPP-32, DRD2) is closely correlated in patients. However, in controls, DRD2 expression in relation to the other genes appears to be very different, suggesting abnormal DRD2 activity is an important trigger in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. CONCLUSIONS our data suggest: (i) C14ORF28, GNB2L1, MLLT3, DRD2 and DARPP-32 are important in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder; (ii) these two disorders share common disease-related mechanisms linked to dopamine signalling; (iii) the expression of these genes is closely correlated; and (iv) DRD2 provides the initial trigger in the pathogenesis of these disorders.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Preeclampsia is a major obstetrical complication affecting maternal and fetal health. While it is clear that there is a substantial placental contribution to preeclampsia pathogenesis, the maternal contribution is less well characterized. We therefore performed a genome-wide transcriptome analysis to explore disease-associated changes in maternal gene expression patterns in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). METHODS Preeclampsia was defined as gestational hypertension, proteinuria and hyperurecimia. Total RNA was isolated from PBMCs obtained from women with uncomplicated pregnancies (n = 5) and women with preeclamptic pregnancies (n = 5). Gene expression analysis was carried out using Agilent oligonucleotide microarrays. Biological pathway analysis was undertaken using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software. Quantitative real-time PCR (QRTPCR) was performed to validate the gene expression changes of selected genes in normotensive and preeclamptic patients (n = 12 each). RESULTS We identified a total of 368 genes that were differentially expressed in women with preeclampsia compared to normal controls with false discovery rate (FDR) controlled at 10%. In follow up experiments we further analyzed the expression levels of a number of genes that were identified as altered by the microarray data including survivin (BIRC5), caveolin (CAV1), GATA binding protein-1 (GATA1), signal tranducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), E2F transcription factor-1 (E2F1), fibronectin-1 (FN1), interleukin-4 (IL-4), matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) and WAP four disulfide domain protein (WFDC-1) by QRTPCR. Additionally we performed immuno blot analysis and zymography to verify some of these candidate genes at the protein level. Computational analysis of gene function identified an anti-proliferative and altered immune function cellular phenotype in severe preeclamptic samples. CONCLUSIONS We have characterized the genome-wide mRNA expression changes associated with preeclampsia-specific genes in circulating maternal blood cells at the time of delivery. In addition to providing information relating to the biological basis of the preeclampsia phenotype, our data provide a number of potential biomarkers for use in the further characterization of this disease.

Abstract
Currently several groups are actively researching the integration of a megavoltage teletherapy unit with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for real-time image-guided radiotherapy. The use of a multileaf collimator (MLC) for intensity-modulated radiotherapy for linac-MR units must be investigated. The MLC itself will likely reside in the fringe field of the MR and the motors will produce radio frequency (RF) noise. The RF noise power spectral density from a Varian 52-leaf MLC motor, a Varian Millennium MLC motor and a brushless fan motor has been measured as a function of the applied magnetic field using a near field probe set. For the Varian 52-leaf MLC system, the RF noise produced by 13 of 52 motors is studied as a function of distance from the MLC. Data are reported in the frequency range suitable for 0.2-1.5 T linac-MR systems. Below 40 MHz the Millennium MLC motor tested showed more noise than the Varian 52-leaf motor or the brushless fan motor. The brushless motor showed a small dependence on the applied magnetic field. Images of a phantom were taken by the prototype linac-MR system with the MLC placed in close proximity to the magnet. Several orientations of the MLC in both shielded and non-shielded configurations were studied. For the case of a non-shielded MLC and associated cables, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was reduced when 13 of 52 MLC leaves were moved during imaging. When the MLC and associated cables were shielded, the measured SNR of the images with 13 MLC leaves moving was experimentally the same as the SNR of the stationary MLC image. When the MLC and cables are shielded, subtraction images acquired with and without MLC motion contains no systematic signal. This study illustrates that the small RF noise produced by functioning MLC motors can be effectively shielded to avoid SNR degradation. A functioning MLC can be incorporated into a linac-MR unit.

Abstract
The integration of medical linear accelerators (linac) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems is advancing the current state of image-guided radiotherapy. The MRI in these integrated units will provide real-time, accurate tumor locations for radiotherapy treatment, thus decreasing geometric margins around tumors and reducing normal tissue damage. In the real-time operation of these integrated systems, the radiofrequency (RF) coils of MRI will be irradiated with radiation pulses from the linac. The effect of pulsed radiation on MRI radio frequency (RF) coils is not known and must be studied. The instantaneous radiation induced current (RIC) in two different MRI RF coils were measured and presented. The frequency spectra of the induced currents were calculated. Some basic characterization of the RIC was also done: isolation of the RF coil component responsible for RIC, dependence of RIC on dose rate, and effect of wax buildup placed on coil on RIC. Both the time and frequency characteristics of the RIC were seen to vary with the MRI RF coil used. The copper windings of the RF coils were isolated as the main source of RIC. A linear dependence on dose rate was seen. The RIC was decreased with wax buildup, suggesting an electronic disequilibrium as the cause of RIC. This study shows a measurable RIC present in MRI RF coils. This unwanted current could be possibly detrimental to the signal to noise ratio in MRI and produce image artifacts.

Abstract
There is a great deal of interest in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), and to advance the state of IGRT, an integrated linear accelerator-magnetic resonance (linac-MR) system has been proposed. Knowledge of the radiofrequency (RF) emissions near a linac is important for the design of appropriate RF shielding to facilitate the successful integration of these two devices. The frequency spectra of both electric and magnetic fields of RF emission are measured using commercially available measurement probes near the treatment couch in three clinical linac vaults with distinct physical layouts. The magnitude spectrum of the RF power emitted from these three linacs is then estimated. The electric field spectrum was also measured at several distances from the linac modulator in order to assess the effects of variations in spatial location in the treatment vault. A large fraction of RF power is emitted at frequencies below 5 MHz. However, the measured RF power at the Larmor frequency (8.5 MHz) of the proposed 0.2 T MR in the linac-MR (0.4-14.6 microW m(-2)) is still large enough to cause artifacts in MR images. Magnetron-based linacs generally emit much larger RF power than klystron-based linacs. In the frequency range of 1-50 MHz, only slight variation in the measured electric field is observed as a function of measurement position. This study suggests that the RF emissions are strong enough to cause image artifacts in MRI systems.

Abstract
AIM Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a multisystem disease, the pathogenesis of which remains undetermined. The authors have recently reported a study of gene expression that identified differential expression of 88 human genes in patients with CFS/ME. Clustering of quantitative PCR (qPCR) data from patients with CFS/ME revealed seven distinct subtypes with distinct differences in Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-36 scores, clinical phenotypes and severity. METHODS In this study, for each CFS/ME subtype, those genes whose expression differed significantly from that of normal blood donors were identified, and then gene interactions, disease associations and molecular and cellular functions of those gene sets were determined. Genomic analysis was then related to clinical data for each CFS/ME subtype. RESULTS Genomic analysis revealed some common (neurological, haematological, cancer) and some distinct (metabolic, endocrine, cardiovascular, immunological, inflammatory) disease associations among the subtypes. Subtypes 1, 2 and 7 were the most severe, and subtype 3 was the mildest. Clinical features of each subtype were as follows: subtype 1 (cognitive, musculoskeletal, sleep, anxiety/depression); subtype 2 (musculoskeletal, pain, anxiety/depression); subtype 3 (mild); subtype 4 (cognitive); subtype 5 (musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal); subtype 6 (postexertional); subtype 7 (pain, infectious, musculoskeletal, sleep, neurological, gastrointestinal, neurocognitive, anxiety/depression). CONCLUSION It was particularly interesting that in the seven genomically derived subtypes there were distinct clinical syndromes, and that those which were most severe were also those with anxiety/depression, as would be expected in a disease with a biological basis.

Abstract
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an illness characterised by disabling fatigue of at least 6 months duration, which is accompanied by various rheumatological, infectious and neuropsychiatric symptoms. A collaborative study group has been formed to deal with the current areas for development in CFS research--namely, to develop an understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of CFS, to develop a diagnostic test and to develop specific and curative treatments. Various groups have studied the gene expression in peripheral blood of patients with CFS, and from those studies that have been confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), clearly, the most predominant functional theme is that of immunity and defence. However, we do not yet know the precise gene signature and metabolic pathways involved. Currently, this is being dealt with using a microarray representing 47,000 human genes and variants, massive parallel signature sequencing and real-time PCR. It will be important to ensure that once a gene signature has been identified, it is specific to CFS and does not occur in other diseases and infections. A diagnostic test is being developed using surface-enhanced, laser-desorption and ionisation-time-of-flight mass spectrometry based on a pilot study in which putative biomarkers were identified. Finally, clinical trials are being planned; novel treatments that we believe are important to trial in patients with CFS are interferon-beta and one of the anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha drugs.

Abstract
17057 Background: Poor outcomes with conventional oncological treatments for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have driven the imperative to advance understanding of the disease pathobiology. Carbonic Anhydrase (CA)-IX is a surrogate marker of hypoxia over-expressed in solid tumours. Protein Kinase B, or Akt, known to have important intracellular roles including resistance to apoptosis, is activated in human malignancies and upregulated in hypoxic conditions. This study examined the expression of CA-IX and phosphorylated Akt (pAkt) in tumour samples from patients with MPM, correlating expression with established prognostic factors. The role of pAkt in the survival of an MPM cell line exposed to hypoxic conditions was also examined. Methods: Full local regional ethics committee approval was obtained for this work. Tumour samples from 200 patients with MPM were stained using pAkt and CA-IX specific antibodies. The effect of hypoxia on Akt and pAkt was evaluated in the JU77 mesothelioma cell line in the presence or absence of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibitor, LY294002. Results: There was a positive association between the level of CA-IX and pAkt staining, implying that intra-tumoural hypoxia may be a stimulus for Akt phosphorylation. On multivariate analysis increased expression of nuclear pAkt was found to be associated with a poor survival. In-vitro cell culture work showed that, although pAkt is expressed in normoxic conditions in the JU77 cell line, the rates of apoptosis were significantly increased in hypoxic conditions when the phosphorylation of Akt was blocked by LY294002. Conclusions: This work provides evidence for the anti-apoptotic role of pAkt in hypoxic conditions in solid human malignancies. Phospho-Akt may represent a novel therapeutic target in MPM. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
We used the promoter of the human C-reactive protein (CRP) gene to drive inflammation-inducible overexpression of the cytokine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in transgenic mice. Transgenic mice carrying a CRP/GM-CSF fusion gene show a >150-fold increases in circulating levels of GM-CSF within 6 h of intraperitoneal inoculation with 25 microg of lipopolysaccharide. However, some of the transgenic mice also display relatively high basal levels of GM-CSF in the absence of any obvious inflammatory stimulus. Raised basal levels of GM-CSF are associated with a number of pathological changes, including enlarged and histologically abnormal livers and spleens and with increases in the number and activation state of macrophages and granulocytes in the peripheral blood. Despite problems associated with the expression of such a potent pleiotropic cytokine as GM-CSF, the principle of inflammation-inducible expression of chimeric constructs has been shown to be feasible. Inducible expression systems such as that described here could be of potential use in the study of the role of cytokines in health and disease and in the development of disease-resistant strains of livestock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Streptokinase resistance may cause suboptimal thrombolytic therapy. AIM To develop a rapid latex-bead assay to detect streptokinase antibodies. METHODS Sera were obtained from 16 patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI) before treatment with streptokinase and 1 and 6 months post treatment, and from 100 controls. Sera were assayed for anti-streptokinase antibodies using a functional streptokinase-neutralising assay. RESULTS Streptokinase-neutralising activity was low in controls (54 +/- 5U/ml) and patients prior to treatment (101 +/- 18), increasing to 2,110 +/- 823 and 1,017 +/- 169 at 1 and 6 months (mean +/- SEM). The latex assay had a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 93% for detecting individuals with > 350U/ml of streptokinase resistance, which is sufficient to neutralise the drug clinically. CONCLUSIONS Estimation of streptokinase resistance using an enzyme immunoassay and a latex bead assay correlated well with serum neutralising activity. This assay can rapidly identify patients who have a high level of streptokinase-neutralising activity.
