Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS We sought to evaluate widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (WF SS-OCTA) among eyes with concomitant age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetes mellitus or diabetic retinopathy (DM/DR). METHODS This cross-sectional, comparative study consisted of three study groups: eyes with (1) AMD and DM/DR, (2) AMD alone and (3) DM/DR alone. WF SS-OCTA (3×3, 6×6 and 12×12 mm) images were captured. Vascular metrics included foveal avascular zone (FAZ), vessel density (VD) and vessel skeletonised density (VSD). Mixed-effects multivariable regression models adjusted for age were performed by cohort and subgroup based on AMD and DR stages. RESULTS Our cohort included 287 eyes from 186 patients with an average age of 64±14.0 years old. Results revealed significantly reduced vascular metrics in concomitant AMD and DM/DR eyes (N=68) compared with AMD-only eyes (N=71) on all angiograms but not compared with DM/DR-only eyes (N=148). For example, when compared with AMD-only eyes, AMD and DM/DR eyes had significantly reduced VD (β=-0.03, p=0.016) and VSD (β=-1.09, p=0.022) on 12×12 mm angiograms, increased FAZ perimeter (β=0.51, p=0.025) and FAZ area (β=0.11, p=0.015) on 6×6 mm angiogram, and reductions in all VD and VSD metrics on 3×3 and 6×6 mm angiograms. However, only 3×3 mm angiogram FAZ metrics were significantly different when comparing DM/DR eyes with concomitant AMD and DM/DR eyes. CONCLUSION WF SS-OCTA revealed significant reductions in retinal microvasculature metrics in AMD and DM/DR eyes compared with AMD-only eyes but not compared with DM/DR-only eyes.

Abstract
We examined the learning and memory of neurotrophin-4 (NT4)-/- mice by using fear conditioning. In both cue and context conditioning, we found significant deficits in the NT4 mutants at 2 and 24 h after training but not at 30 min. Hippocampal slices from the mutant mice showed normal basal synaptic transmission, short-term plasticity, and decremental long-term potentiation (LTP) at the Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses. These findings, together with the normal short-term memory, suggest that the hippocampal development of NT4-/- mice is largely unaffected. However, consistent with the long-term memory defects, the long-lasting LTP at the same synapses was attenuated significantly in the mutant mice. Our results suggest that NT4 plays a physiological role essential for hippocampus- and amygdala-dependent long-term memory and hippocampal long-lasting LTP and that NT4 may be useful in the therapy of acquired disorders of learning and memory.

Abstract
The authors determine the effects of postoperative radiation therapy on flap and local control outcomes in patients who have undergone immediate transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM)-free flap reconstruction after modified radical mastectomy for locally advanced breast cancer. Details of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for 21 patients who had undergone immediate TRAM-free flap reconstruction after modified radical mastectomy were gathered retrospectively. The outcomes examined were flap complications, overall cosmesis, and local recurrence rate. Radiation therapy was indicated for large primary tumors (T3-T4), close or positive margins, or extensive nodal disease. With a mean follow-up interval of 19 months, there have been no flap complications or losses. Cosmesis was rated as excellent by 60% of patients, good by 30%, and fair by the remaining 10%. Three patients thought that radiation had improved cosmesis, one noted worse cosmesis, and the remainder thought it had no effect on cosmesis. The local control rate was 86%. Postreconstruction irradiation of TRAM-free flaps used in immediate reconstruction for locally advanced breast cancer appears safe and cosmetically acceptable.

Abstract
A patient without evident immune deficiency who received a transfusion of blood from a second-degree family member developed fatal transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GVHD). The donor was homozygous for an HLA haplotype for which the recipient was heterozygous (one-way HLA match). All 39 reported cases of TA-GVHD in immunocompetent patients were reviewed to ascertain the predisposing factors and to define the indications for irradiating blood for this population. HLA typing was described in 15 cases; in 13, including seven related and six unrelated donors, a one-way HLA match was present. Thirty-one (79%) of the 39 cases were reported from Japan (and 196 other cases are cited in the Japanese literature), but a one-way HLA match among unrelated donors at HLA-A, -B, -DR loci is only approximately two to four times more likely in Japanese persons than in whites. Fresh blood (< 96 hours old) was used in 29 (94%) of the 31 cases reported from Japan and in 33 (87%) of 38 cases overall (in one case, the age of the blood used was not reported). Thus, factors that appear to predispose to TA-GVHD in immunocompetent patients are a one-way HLA match, fresh blood, and, possibly, Japanese ancestry. Irradiating cellular blood components from all blood relatives of transfusion recipients will not completely eliminate the risk of TA-GVHD.

Abstract
Two distinct types of soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha receptors (sTNFRs), which are felt to represent proteolytic cleavage products of the extracellular domains of membrane-bound TNFRs of molecular mass, 55 and 75 kDa, are found in the serum and urine of humans. We have measured the serum concentrations of these receptors in eight patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma during treatment with interleukin-2 (IL-2)-based immunotherapy. The mean pretreatment concentration of sTNFR-55 kDa (p < 0.05) but not sTNFR-75 kDa was significantly elevated prior to the onset of immunotherapy. In one patient the concentrations of both sTNFRs decreased dramatically following removal of the primary tumor. There were significant increases in the concentrations of both sTNFRs in patients treated with IL-2-based therapy that included in vivo primed tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (pTILs); some of these patients eventually achieved a complete response to therapy. These data demonstrate that sTNFR-55 kDa is elevated in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma prior to therapy and that IL-2-based therapy that included pTIL cells results in a further increase in sTNFRs.
