Abstract
Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and especially those with both DS and co-occurring ASD (DS + ASD) commonly display behavioral and psychiatric symptoms that can impact quality of life and places increased burden on caregivers. While the mainstay of treatment in DS and ASD is focused on educational and behavioral therapies, pharmacological treatments can be used to reduce symptom burden. There is a paucity of evidence and limited clinical trials in DS and DS + ASD. Some scientific evidence is available, primarily in open label studies and case series that can guide treatment choices. Additionally, clinical decisions are often extrapolated from evidence and experience from those with ASD, or intellectual disability in those without DS. This article reviews current research in pharmacological treatment in DS, ASD, and DS + ASD, reviews co-occurring neurodevelopmental and mental health diagnoses in individuals with DS + ASD across the lifespan, and describes practical approaches to psychopharmacological management.

Abstract
Studies regarding cardiometabolic risk (CMR) for individuals with Down syndrome (DS) conflict. Our previous research in youth with DS, aged 10-20 years, found increased prevalence of dyslipidemia and prediabetes compared to matched peers without DS. Herein, we compare CMR in young adults with DS, aged 18-35 years, to a similar population-based sample from the 2001-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The group with DS had higher NonHDL-C (mean DS 131.9 mg/dL; NHANES 126.1 p < 0.001), lower HDL-C (DS 47.5 mg/dL; NHANES 52.2 p < 0.001), higher LDL-C (DS 109.3 mg/dL; NHANES 105.4 p < 0.001), higher triglycerides (DS 102.9 mg/dL; NHANES 86.9 p < 0.001), but lower fasting glucose (DS 85.8 mg/dL; NHANES 95.2 p < 0.0001), lower HOMA-IR (DS 2.17; NHANES 2.24 p = 0.0006), lower systolic (DS 109.7 mmHg; NHANES 114.6 p < 0.0001) and lower diastolic (DS 60.9 mmHg; NHANES 67.8 p < 0.0001) blood pressures. There was relationship of higher HDL-C, triglycerides, glucose, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure with increasing BMI in the NHANES cohort which was dampened in the group with DS. These results indicate that more information is needed to guide clinicians in screening for CMR in individuals with DS.

Abstract
Down syndrome regression disorder (DSRD) is a clinical symptom cluster consisting of neuropsychiatric regression without an identifiable cause. This study evaluated the clinical effectiveness of IVIg and evaluated clinical characteristics associated with relapse after therapy discontinuation. A prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, observational study was performed. Patients met criteria for DSRD and were treated with IVIg. All patients underwent a standardized wean off therapy after 9-12 months of treatment. Baseline, on therapy, and relapse scores of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Total Score (NPITS), Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S), and the Bush-Francis Catatonia Rating Scale (BFCRS) were used to track clinical symptoms. Eighty-two individuals were enrolled in this study. Patients had lower BFCRS (MD: -6.68; 95% CI: -8.23, -5.14), CGI-S (MD: -1.27; 95% CI: -1.73, -0.81), and NPITS scores (MD: -6.50; 95% CI: -7.53, -5.47) while they were on therapy compared to baseline. Approximately 46% of the patients (n = 38) experienced neurologic relapse with wean of IVIg. Patients with neurologic relapse were more likely to have any abnormal neurodiagnostic study (χ2 = 11.82, p = 0.001), abnormal MRI (χ2 = 7.78, p = 0.005), and abnormal LP (χ2 = 5.45, p = 0.02), and a personal history of autoimmunity (OR: 6.11, p < 0.001) compared to patients without relapse. IVIg was highly effective in the treatment of DSRD. Individuals with a history of personal autoimmunity or neurodiagnostic abnormalities were more likely to relapse following weaning of immunotherapy, indicating the potential for, a chronic autoimmune etiology in some cases of DSRD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals with Down syndrome. Congenital heart disease is the most common cardiovascular condition in this group, present in up to 50% of people with Down syndrome and contributing to poor outcomes. Additional factors contributing to cardiovascular outcomes include pulmonary hypertension; coexistent pulmonary, endocrine, and metabolic diseases; and risk factors for atherosclerotic disease. Moreover, disparities in the cardiovascular care of people with Down syndrome compared with the general population, which vary across different geographies and health care systems, further contribute to cardiovascular mortality; this issue is often overlooked by the wider medical community. This review focuses on the diagnosis, prevalence, and management of cardiovascular disease encountered in people with Down syndrome and summarizes available evidence in 10 key areas relating to Down syndrome and cardiac disease, from prenatal diagnosis to disparities in care in areas of differing resource availability. All specialists and nonspecialist clinicians providing care for people with Down syndrome should be aware of best clinical practice in all aspects of care of this distinct population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many efforts have been made to stimulate clinical trials (CTs) in pediatrics but most of the drugs are still authorized only in adults and used off-label in the pediatric population. AIM To assess how widespread is the off-label prescription in Italy and to identify areas of unmet medical need by applying a model for the systematic collection and analysis of data. METHODS A study was performed using 2015 data from the Italian Medicines Utilization Monitoring Centre Health Database (OsMed). A study sample of 3,726,583 pediatric patients, was considered. Cardiovascular drugs were selected for this study. Assessment of the off-label use, the analysis of the pharmacovigilance signals, a bibliographic research and the analysis of ongoing CTs were carried out. RESULTS In 2015, 8,544 pediatric patients received treatment with a cardiovascular drug. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) followed by beta blockers agents are the most prescribed molecules. Eight molecules were selected and an in-depth analysis conducted. The PhV network showed only one record of adverse reaction as off-label in 2015. The results show several therapeutic areas of use in pediatrics. CONCLUSION Off-label in pediatrics is largely widespread in Europe and US and our results show it is also present in Italy. Molecules selected are used off-label for therapeutic areas such as oncologic, hematological and rare diseases. Results of pharmacovigilance suggests underreporting. The analysis carried out in this study could be an open track for a systematic monitoring activity and of interest for prescribers, pediatricians and other healthcare professionals during the clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in medical care have increased life expectancy and improved the quality of life for people with Down syndrome (DS). These advances are the result of both pre-clinical and clinical research but much about DS is still poorly understood. In 2020, the NIH announced their plan to update their DS research plan and requested input from the scientific and advocacy community. OBJECTIVE The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) and the LuMind IDSC Foundation worked together with scientific and medical experts to develop recommendations for the NIH research plan. METHODS NDSS and LuMind IDSC assembled over 50 experts across multiple disciplines and organized them in eleven working groups focused on specific issues for people with DS. RESULTS This review article summarizes the research gaps and recommendations that have the potential to improve the health and quality of life for people with DS within the next decade. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights many of the scientific gaps that exist in DS research. Based on these gaps, a multidisciplinary group of DS experts has made recommendations to advance DS research. This paper may also aid policymakers and the DS community to build a comprehensive national DS research strategy.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal condition, and average life expectancy has increased substantially, from 25 years in 1983 to 60 years in 2020. Despite the unique clinical comorbidities among adults with Down syndrome, there are no clinical guidelines for the care of these patients. OBJECTIVE To develop an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for adults with Down syndrome. EVIDENCE REVIEW The Global Down Syndrome Foundation Medical Care Guidelines for Adults with Down Syndrome Workgroup (n = 13) developed 10 Population/Intervention/ Comparison/Outcome (PICO) questions for adults with Down syndrome addressing multiple clinical areas including mental health (2 questions), dementia, screening or treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, osteoporosis, atlantoaxial instability, thyroid disease, and celiac disease. These questions guided the literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, PsychINFO, Cochrane Library, and the TRIP Database, searched from January 1, 2000, to February 26, 2018, with an updated search through August 6, 2020. Using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) methodology and the Evidence-to-Decision framework, in January 2019, the 13-member Workgroup and 16 additional clinical and scientific experts, nurses, patient representatives, and a methodologist developed clinical recommendations. A statement of good practice was made when there was a high level of certainty that the recommendation would do more good than harm, but there was little direct evidence. FINDINGS From 11 295 literature citations associated with 10 PICO questions, 20 relevant studies were identified. An updated search identified 2 additional studies, for a total of 22 included studies (3 systematic reviews, 19 primary studies), which were reviewed and synthesized. Based on this analysis, 14 recommendations and 4 statements of good practice were developed. Overall, the evidence base was limited. Only 1 strong recommendation was formulated: screening for Alzheimer-type dementia starting at age 40 years. Four recommendations (managing risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke prevention, screening for obesity, and evaluation for secondary causes of osteoporosis) agreed with existing guidance for individuals without Down syndrome. Two recommendations for diabetes screening recommend earlier initiation of screening and at shorter intervals given the high prevalence and earlier onset in adults with Down syndrome. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These evidence-based clinical guidelines provide recommendations to support primary care of adults with Down syndrome. The lack of high-quality evidence limits the strength of the recommendations and highlights the need for additional research.

Abstract
Pneumonia and respiratory infections impact infants and children with Down syndrome; pneumonia is a leading cause of mortality in adults with Down syndrome. We aimed to review the literature to evaluate gaps and address key questions. A series of key questions were formulated a priori to inform the search strategy and review process; addressed prevalence, severity, etiology, risk factors, preventive methods, screening, and financial costs, potential benefits or harms of screening. Using the National Library of Medicine database, PubMed, detailed literature searches on pneumonia and respiratory infections in Down syndrome were performed. Previously identified review articles were also assessed. The quality of available evidence was then evaluated and knowledge gaps were identified. Forty-two relevant original articles were identified which addressed at least one key question. Study details including research design, internal validity, external validity, and relevant results are presented. Pneumonia and respiratory infections are more prevalent and more severe in individuals with Down syndrome compared to healthy controls through literature review, yet there are gaps in the literature regarding the etiology of pneumonia, the infectious organism, risk factors for infection, and to guide options for prevention and screening. There is urgent need for additional research studies in Down syndrome, especially in the time of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Adults with Down syndrome (DS) represent a unique population who are in need of clinical guidelines to address their medical care. Many of these conditions are of public health importance with the potential to develop screening recommendations to improve clinical care for this population. Our workgroup previously identified and prioritized co-occurring medical conditions in adults with DS. In this study, we again performed detailed literature searches on an additional six medical conditions of clinical importance. A series of key questions (KQ) were formulated a priori to guide the literature search strategy. Our KQs focused on disease prevalence, severity, risk-factors, methodologies for screening/evaluation, impact on morbidity, and potential costs/benefits. The available evidence was extracted, evaluated and graded on quality. The number of participants and the design of clinical studies varied by condition and were often inadequate for answering most of the KQ. Based upon our review, we provide a summary of the findings on hip dysplasia, menopause, acquired cardiac valve disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hematologic disorders, and dysphagia. Minimal evidence demonstrates significant gaps in our clinical knowledge that compromises clinical decision-making and management of these medically complex individuals. The creation of evidence-based clinical guidance for this population will not be possible until these gaps are addressed.

Abstract
Increasingly individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including Down syndrome, are being targeted for clinical trials. However, a challenge exists in effectively evaluating the outcomes of these new pharmacological interventions. Few empirically evaluated, psychometrically sound outcome measures appropriate for use in clinical trials with individuals with Down syndrome have been identified. To address this challenge, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) assembled leading clinicians and scientists to review existing measures and identify those that currently are appropriate for trials; those that may be appropriate after expansion of age range addition of easier items, and/or downward extension of psychometric norms; and areas where new measures need to be developed. This article focuses on measures in the areas of cognition and behavior.

Abstract
A multisite study investigated the test-retest reliability and practice effects of a battery of assessments to measure neurocognitive function in individuals with Down syndrome (DS). The study aimed to establish the appropriateness of these measures as potential endpoints for clinical trials. Neurocognitive tasks and parent report measures comprising the Arizona Cognitive Test Battery (ACTB) were administered to 54 young participants with DS (7-20 years of age) with mild to moderate levels of intellectual disability in an initial baseline evaluation and a follow-up assessment 3 months later. Although revisions to ACTB measures are indicated, results demonstrate adequate levels of reliability and resistance to practice effects for some measures. The ACTB offers viable options for repeated testing of memory, motor planning, behavioral regulation, and attention. Alternative measures of executive functioning are required.

Abstract
Increasingly individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including Down syndrome, are being targeted for clinical trials. However, a challenge exists in effectively evaluating the outcomes of these new pharmacological interventions. Few empirically evaluated, psychometrically sound outcome measures appropriate for use in clinical trials with individuals with Down syndrome have been identified. To address this challenge, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) assembled leading clinicians and scientists to review existing measures and identify those that currently are appropriate for trials; those that may be appropriate after expansion of age range addition of easier items, and/or downward extension of psychometric norms; and areas where new measures need to be developed. This article focuses on measures in the areas of cognition and behavior.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify potential antigenic targets for Porphyromonas gingivalis vaccine development. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, we analyzed the Porphyromonas gingivalis, fimA type II primary amino acid sequence and characterized the similarity to the human proteome at the pentapeptide level. RESULTS We found that exact peptide-peptide profiling of the fimbrial antigen versus the human proteome shows that only 19 out of 344 fimA type II pentapeptides are uniquely owned by the bacterial protein. CONCLUSIONS The concept that protein immunogenicity is allocated in rare peptide sequences and the search the Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA type II sequence for peptides unique to the bacterial protein and absent in the human host, might be used in new therapeutical approaches as a significant adjunct to current periodontal therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate the relationships between perceived uncertainty, hope, and adaptation in caregivers of children with Down syndrome (DS). METHODS A total of 546 caregivers were recruited from local and national DS groups and from a DS clinic list. A cross-sectional survey examined caregivers' levels of perceived uncertainty, hope, and adaptation. The hope that caregivers had for their child was also measured. RESULTS Uncertainty, hope and adaptation were all significantly correlated, with uncertainty and hope independently predicting caregiver adaptation. Caregivers' motivation to reach goals for their child was higher than their ability to think of ways to meet those goals, and their lessened ability to think of ways to reach goals was significantly related to decreased adaptation levels. CONCLUSION Findings from this study suggest that having hope in the face of uncertainty is important in adaptation but that caregivers struggle with having hope related to thinking of ways to reach goals for their child. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The results of this study indicate that perceived uncertainty and hope may be important targets for improving psychological well-being. Interventions that assist caregivers in setting and attaining appropriate goals may be of particular interest.

Abstract
PURPOSE Epidural blood patch (EBP) represents one of the best nonsurgical treatment for intracranial hypotension syndrome. Orthostatic headache caused by reduced intracranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, like in "spontaneous" intracranial hypotension or as consequence of lumbar puncture or anesthesiological procedure, can be managed with the injection of autologous blood on the epidural space with a successful rate of 89%, increased to 97% after a second application. MATERIALS AND METHODS This 9-year-old girl was admitted to our department because of a suboccipital pseudomeningocele. She was previously operated on for a Chiari type I malformation by suboccipital craniectomy, C1 laminectomy and duraplasty. At the admission, she complained for nucal pain. Brain MRI showed a large suboccipital fluid collection that persisted even after the revision of the duraplasty and the placement of an external lumbar drainage. The child underwent a first injection of a mixture of blood (10 ml) and fibrin glue (10 ml) within the subcutaneous space after needle-aspiration of the collection. The same treatment was repeated 3 weeks later. RESULTS The procedures were well tolerated and no local or systemic complications occurred. The fluid collection was significantly reduced after the first injection and it was completely effaced following the second one. Such a result remained stable after 3 months, as demonstrated by MRI. No recurrence of the pseudomeningocele was detected at the last clinical control (8-month follow-up). CONCLUSION Subcutaneous blood patch could represent a safe and effective option for the treatment of CSF fistula, especially in case of failure of the traditional management.

Abstract
A December 2010 meeting, "Down Syndrome: National Conference on Patient Registries, Research Databases, and Biobanks," was jointly sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD, and the Global Down Syndrome Foundation (GDSF)/Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome based in Denver, CO. Approximately 70 attendees and organizers from various advocacy groups, federal agencies (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and various NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices), members of industry, clinicians, and researchers from various academic institutions were greeted by Drs. Yvonne Maddox, Deputy Director of NICHD, and Edward McCabe, Executive Director of the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome. They charged the participants to focus on the separate issues of contact registries, research databases, and biobanks through both podium presentations and breakout session discussions. Among the breakout groups for each of the major sessions, participants were asked to generate responses to questions posed by the organizers concerning these three research resources as they related to Down syndrome and then to report back to the group at large with a summary of their discussions. This report represents a synthesis of the discussions and suggested approaches formulated by the group as a whole.

Abstract
Cardiac abnormalities are one of the most common congenital defects observed in individuals with Down syndrome. Considerable research has implicated both folate deficiency and genetic variation in folate pathway genes with birth defects, including both congenital heart defects (CHD) and Down syndrome (DS). Here, we test variation in folate pathway genes for a role in the major DS-associated CHD atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD). In a group of 121 case families (mother, father, and proband with DS and AVSD) and 122 control families (mother, father, and proband with DS and no CHD), tag SNPs were genotyped in and around five folate pathway genes: 5,10-methylenetetrahyrdofolate reductase (MTHFR), methionine synthase (MTR), methionine synthase reductase (MTRR), cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), and the reduced folate carrier (SLC19A1, RFC1). SLC19A1 was found to be associated with AVSD using a multilocus allele-sharing test. Individual SNP tests also showed nominally significant associations with odds ratios of between 1.34 and 3.78, depending on the SNP and genetic model. Interestingly, all marginally significant SNPs in SLC19A1 are in strong linkage disequilibrium (r(2)> or = 0.8) with the nonsynonymous coding SNP rs1051266 (c.80A>G), which has previously been associated with nonsyndromic cases of CHD. In addition to SLC19A1, the known functional polymorphism MTHFR c.1298A was over-transmitted to cases with AVSD (P=0.05) and under-transmitted to controls (P=0.02). We conclude, therefore, that disruption of the folate pathway contributes to the incidence of AVSD among individuals with DS.

Abstract
We describe immune-proteome structures using libraries of protein fragments that define a structural immunological alphabet. We propose and validate such an alphabet as i) composed of letters of five consecutive amino acids, pentapeptide units being sufficient minimal antigenic determinants in a protein, and ii) characterized by low-similarity to human proteins, so representing structures unknown to the host and potentially able to evoke an immune response. In this context, we have thoroughly sifted through the entire human proteome searching for non-redundant protein motifs. Here, for the first time, a complete sequence redundancy dissection of the human proteome has been conducted. The non-redundant peptide islands in the human proteome have been quantified and catalogued according to the amino acid length. The library of uniquely occurring n-peptide sequences that was obtained is characterized by a logarithmic decrease of the number of non-redundant peptides as a function of the peptide length. This library represents a highly specific catalogue of molecular protein signatures, the possible use of which in cancer/autoimmunity research is discussed, with a major focus on non-redundant dodecamer sequences.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective: To quantitate plasma amyloid β protein (Aβ)40, Aβ42, and neopterin levels in Down Syndrome (DS) children and controls.
Background: DS persons (>40 years) have neuropathological changes characteristic of Alzheimer disease (AD). Soluble forms of Aβ generated from amyloid precursor protein (APP) end at C-terminal residues 40 and 42. Neopterin is an immune activation marker for the cell-mediated immune response.
Design/Methods: Blood was collected from DS (N = 35; 7 ± 3.8 years old) and their siblings (N = 34; 10 ± 4.5). Plasma Aβ40, Aβ42, and neopterin levels were quantitated by ELISA.
Results: Aβ40 (Mean ± SD; 277 ± 70 pg/ml) and Aβ42 (31 ± 8 pg/ml) levels were higher in DS children than controls (Aβ40 155 ± 35 pg/ml, Aβ42 22 ± 5 pg/ml) (p<.0001). There were significant negative correlations between age and Aβ40 in DS (r=.47, p<.004) or controls (r=.38, p<.026) and Aβ42 levels in DS (r=.61, p<.001) but not in controls. Neopterin levels were higher in DS (3.01 ± 1.37 ng/ml) than controls (1.57 ± 0.65 ng/ml) (p<.0001). There was no correlation between neopterin levels and age, and Aβ40 or Aβ42 levels in DS or controls.
Conclusion: The overexpression of APP gene in DS leads to increases in plasma Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels before plaque formation in DS brain. A lack of correlation between neopterin and Aβ levels suggests that higher neopterin concentrations in DS reflect inflammatory cell activation rather than AD neuropathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persons with Down syndrome (DS) (40 years and older) have neuropathological changes characteristic of Alzheimer disease (AD). Soluble forms of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide generated from amyloid precursor protein (APP) end at C-terminal residues 40 and 42. The presence of the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon4 allele is a significant risk factor for the development of sporadic AD. Although preliminary studies have shown an association of plasma Abeta42 and ApoE epsilon4 allele in older persons with DS who have dementia, the relationship between plasma Abeta40 and Abeta42 levels and ApoE phenotypes in children with DS has not been examined. Inflammation might play a role in the growth of DS brains. Neopterin is an immune activation marker for the cell-mediated immune response. OBJECTIVE To examine the levels of plasma Abeta40, Abeta42, and neopterin in children or adolescents with DS or controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood was collected from DS (N=35; 7+/-3.8 years old) and their siblings (N=34; 10+/-4.5). Plasma Abeta40 and Abeta42, and neopterin levels were quantitated by sandwich ELISA. RESULTS Abeta40 and Abeta42 levels were higher in DS than controls. The ratio of Abeta42/Abeta40 was lower in DS than in controls. There were significant negative correlations between age and Abeta40 in DS and controls, and between age and Abeta42 levels in DS but not in controls. There was no association of Abeta40 or Abeta42 levels with Apo E in either group. Neopterin levels were higher in DS than controls, and the levels were not correlated with Abeta40 and Abeta42 levels in DS or controls. CONCLUSIONS The over expression of APP gene in DS leads to increases in plasma Abeta40 and Abeta42 levels before plaque formation in DS brain. Higher neopterin concentrations in DS reflect inflammatory cell activation. Further studies are needed to determine whether DS children with lower plasma Abeta42/Abeta40 ratios are at increased risk of developing AD during aging than those with higher ratios.

Abstract
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic neurons of the arcuate nucleus and/or the lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland are key targets for the programming effects of perinatal glucocorticoids (GCs). Dexamethasone was administered noninvasively to fetal or neonatal rats via the mothers' drinking water (1 mug/ml) on embryonic d 16-19 or neonatal d 1-7, and control animals received normal drinking water. At 68 d of age, the numbers of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (TH+) cells in the arcuate nucleus and morphometric parameters of pituitary lactotrophs were analyzed. In control animals, striking sex differences in TH+ cell numbers, lactotroph cell size, and pituitary prolactin content were observed. Both pre- and neonatal GC treatment regimens were without effect in adult male rats, but in females, the overriding effect was to abolish the sex differences by reducing arcuate TH+ cell numbers (pre- and neonatal treatments) and reducing lactotroph cell size and pituitary prolactin content (prenatal treatment only) without changing lactotroph cell numbers. Changes in circulating prolactin levels represented a net effect of hypothalamic and pituitary alterations that exhibited independent critical windows of susceptibility to perinatal GC treatments. The dopaminergic neurons of the hypothalamic periventricular nucleus and the pituitary somatotroph populations were not significantly affected by either treatment regimen in either sex. These data show that the adult female hypothalamo-lactotroph axis is profoundly affected by perinatal exposure to GCs, which disrupts the tonic inhibitory tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic pathway and changes lactotroph morphology and prolactin levels in the pituitary and circulation. These findings provide new evidence for a long-term disruption in prolactin-dependent homeostasis in females, but not males, after inappropriate GC exposure in perinatal life.

Abstract
The term dual-diagnosis refers to a person with mental retardation and a psychiatric disorder. Most children with Down syndrome (DS) do not have a psychiatric or neurobehavioral disorder. Current prevalence estimates of neurobehavioral and psychiatric co-morbidity in children with DS range from 18% to 38%. We have found it useful to distinguish conditions with a pre-pubertal onset from those presenting in the post-pubertal period, as these are biologically distinct periods each with a unique vulnerability to specific psychiatric disorders. Due to the increased recognition that psychiatric symptoms may co-occur with mental retardation, and are not inextricably linked to cognitive impairment, these conditions are considered treatable, in part, under a medical model. Improvement in physiologic regulation, emotional stability, and neurocognitive processing is one of the most elusive but fundamental goals of pharmacologic intervention in these disorders.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to test whether postnatal chronic inflammation resulted in altered reactivity to pain later in life when reexposed to the same inflammatory agent and whether this alteration correlated with brain-region-specific patterns of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subtype gene expression. Neonatal mouse pups received a single injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) or saline into the left hind paw on postnatal day 1 or 14. At 12 weeks of age, both neonatal CFA- and saline-treated animals received a unilateral injection of CFA in the left hind paw. Adult behavioral responsiveness of the left paw to a radiant heat source was determined in mice treated neonatally with saline or CFA before and after receiving CFA as adults. Twenty-four hours later, brains were dissected and NMDA receptor subunit gene expression was determined in four different brain areas by using an RNase protection assay. The results indicated that NMDA receptor subtype gene expression in adult mice exposed to persistent neonatal peripheral inflammation was brain region specific and that NMDA gene expression and pain reactivity differed according to the day of neonatal CFA exposure. Similarly, adult behavioral responsiveness to a noxious radiant heat source differed according to the age of neonatal exposure to CFA. The data suggest a possible molecular basis for the hypothesis that chronic persistent inflammation experienced early during development may permanently alter the future behavior and the sensitivity to pain later in life, especially in response to subsequent or recurrent inflammatory events.

Abstract
Many of the birth defects associated with trisomy exhibit both variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance. This variability suggests that it is allelic variation and not simply the presence of an additional chromosome that leads to the development of certain trisomy-associated birth defects. With the proper tools, one may use trisomic populations to identify genes involved in the development of specific birth defects. A trisomic population may be advantageous over a normal population if the defect is over-represented in the trisomic population. Alternatively, one can view the trisomic populations as a "model system" to offer insight into aspects of both normal and abnormal embryonic development. Standard disomic linkage disequilibrium mapping approaches need to be adjusted to account for the presence of the additional genetic material in the trisomic individuals. We present an approach for linkage disequilibrium mapping of variable phenotypes in a trisomic population that adequately accounts for the additional alleles and the pattern of non-independent inheritance. We establish the laboratory methods and statistical tools necessary to conduct an association study in a trisomic population. As an example, we have applied these tools to a pilot study of Down syndrome-associated congenital heart defects.

Abstract
Respiring mitochondria represent the major source of superoxide production in most cells, and superoxide anions function as direct precursors of hydrogen peroxide formation within mitochondria. We use a lucigenen-derived chemiluminescence (LDCL) assay to test the hypothesis that intramitochondrial superoxide production is altered in young children with DS. We also measured the levels of two serum markers of lipid peroxidation, lipid peroxides (LOOH), and malondialdehyde as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), to determine if superoxide levels correlate with in vivo measures of lipid peroxidation. A three-group, cross-sectional design was utilized which allowed us to compare young children with DS to children with cognitive impairment (CI) of unknown etiology, and typically developing (Nl) children. Data was analyzed using Pearson's zero-order correlations and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. DS subjects had significantly elevated LDCL signal compared to Nl subjects (p = .03), but did not differ significantly from CI subjects. This study provides new evidence regarding an important source of reactive oxygen species in trisomy 21. The role of the mitochondria in superoxide anion production and the mechanisms underlying its generation in DS deserves further study.

Abstract
The gene coding for preprosomatostatin (ppSom), the molecular precursor of somatostatin (Som), is regulated at the level of transcription by calcium ions and cyclic-AMP [F. Baldino, S. Fitzpatrick-McElligott, T. O'Kane, I. Gozes, Hormonal regulation of somatostatin, Synapse 2 (1988) 317-325; M.R. Montminy, M.J. Low, L. Tapia-Arancibia, Cyclic AMP regulates somatostatin mRNA accumulation in primary diencephalic cultures and in transfected fibroblast cells, J. Neurosci. 6 (1986) 1171-1176.], or by agents which increase intracellular levels of cAMP directly, such as forskolin [M.R. Montminy, M.J. Low, L. Tapia-Arancibia, Cyclic AMP regulates somatostatin mRNA accumulation in primary diencephalic cultures and in transfected fibroblast cells, J. Neurosci. 6 (1986) 1171-1176.]. Transcriptional induction of the ppSom gene as examined in PC12 cells, transfected fibroblasts and primary diencephalic cultures, requires the highly conserved cAMP response element (CRE), which confers gene responsiveness to cAMP [M. Comb, N. Mermod, S.E. Hyman, Proteins bound at adjacent DNA elements act synergistically to regulate human proenkephalin cAMP inducible transcription, EMBO J. 7 (1988) 3793-3805; T. Tsukada, J.S. Fink, G. Mandel, Identification of a region in the human vasoactive intestinal polypeptide gene responsible for regulation by cyclic AMP, J. Biol. Chem. 262 (1987) 8743-8747.]. The ppSom gene is subject to stringent regulation during cerebrocortical development in vivo; however, little information is available regarding ppSom gene regulation by neurotransmitters or second-messengers in cortical neurons. We used primary cerebrocortical cell cultures from fetal mice to examine the dose-response and time-course of ppSom gene expression in response to the cyclic-AMP analogs, dibutyrl-cAMP (dbcAMP), and 8-bromo-cAMP (8-BrcAMP). We report a dose-response for both analogs in the range of 0.1-10 mM. Dose-response studies using agents which directly stimulate intracellular cAMP synthesis (forskolin) or inhibit its breakdown (3-isobutyl 1-methyl xanthine) were also performed. We observed an apparent synergistic effect on ppSom expression when used in combination. An increase in ppSom mRNA levels was observed by 4 h, with a maximal response at 12-24 h. No change in ppSom mRNA levels was observed in response to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Our findings confirm the specificity of ppSom gene regulation by cAMP and Ca2+ ions, and demonstrate the utility of using primary cerebrocortical cultures for the study of somatostatin gene expression by neurotransmitters and second-messengers as a model of human neurologic disorders.

Abstract
The determination of human serum cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) is frequently requested to detect patients with atypical forms of the enzyme which reacts abnormally with succinylcholine (suxamethonium), employed as a neuromuscular blocking agent. Usually, for biochemical identification of succinylcholine sensitive individuals the standard reaction is run with and without the inhibitors, notably dibucaine. A new test for direct determination of succinylcholine sensitive individuals which use a substrate analogue of succinylcholine was applied to a automated instrument. The linearity, precision, recovery, interference and correlation of the method have been evaluated. We have estimated the reference intervals for a population of 364 healthy subjects subdivided for sex, three atypical homozygotes and two atypical heterozygotes. On the basis of analytical performance we can conclude that this test may offer a further parameter for preoperative screening of individuals with an abnormal response to the muscle relaxant succinylcholine, thus avoiding the determination of genotype by measurement of dibucaine number.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the behaviour of some proteins of acute phase (C reactive protein, alpha 1 acid glycoprotein, fibrinogen) in patients undergoing surgical operation. C reactive protein seems to be the most responsive to surgical trauma; alpha 1 acid glycoprotein reveals complications post-operation.

Abstract
A new method to measure serum glycosylated proteins as index of diabetic control is evaluated. Precision, recovery and interference tests have been evaluated. A good correlation of fructosamine values with glycosylated haemoglobin and glucose in normal and diabetic patients was found. The analytical performance and its simple application to automated instruments make this test suitable for monitoring diabetes mellitus and for assessing intermediate-term control of blood glucose.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that pain at rest in patients with unstable angina pectoris is often caused by transient reduction in regional myocardial perfusion. Coronary spasm has been implicated as a mechanism of this phenomenon. Recent reports have documented the occurrence of intracoronary thrombus in patients with unstable angina. Previous surveys have estimated a 6 to 12% frequency of intracoronary thrombus in this syndrome, but have not examined whether this incidence is related to how recent the angina at rest was. Angiograms of 119 patients with unstable angina who had rest pain within 14 days of angiography and 35 patients with stable angina were surveyed. Patients with unstable angina were subgrouped according to how recent angina at rest was at the time of angiography. Group I consisted of 44 patients in whom rest pain occurred within 24 hours before angiography. The 75 patients in group II had angina at rest between 1 and 14 days before angiography. Patients in group II had stable angina. The angiographic criterion for intracoronary thrombus was an intraluminal filling defect, surrounded by contrast medium on 3 sides, located just distal to or within a coronary stenosis, as assessed by each of 2 independent observers blinded to the nature of the anginal syndrome and its temporal proximity. Intracoronary thrombi were found in 44 of 119 patients with unstable angina (37%) and 0 of 35 patients with stable angina (p less than 0.00002). Intracoronary thrombi were found in 23 of 44 patients (52%) in group I and 21 of 75 (28%) in group II (p less than 0.008).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
