Abstract
The detection of individual quanta of light is important for quantum communication, fluorescence lifetime imaging, remote sensing and more. Due to their high detection efficiency, exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and fast recovery times, superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have become a critical component in these applications. However, the operation of conventional SNSPDs requires costly cryocoolers. Here we report the fabrication of two types of high-temperature superconducting nanowires. We observe linear scaling of the photon count rate on the radiation power at the telecommunications wavelength of 1.5 μm and thereby reveal single-photon operation. SNSPDs made from thin flakes of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ exhibit a single-photon response up to 25 K, and for SNSPDs from La1.55Sr0.45CuO4/La2CuO4 bilayer films, this response is observed up to 8 K. While the underlying detection mechanism is not fully understood yet, our work expands the family of materials for SNSPD technology beyond the liquid helium temperature limit and suggests that even higher operation temperatures may be reached using other high-temperature superconductors.

Abstract
Regulatory B cells (Breg) express high levels of CD1d that presents lipid antigens to invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. The function of CD1d in Breg biology and iNKT cell activity during inflammation remains unclear. Here we show, using chimeric mice, cell depletion and adoptive cell transfer, that CD1d–lipid presentation by Bregs induces iNKT cells to secrete interferon (IFN)-γ to contribute, partially, to the downregulation of T helper (Th)1 and Th17-adaptive immune responses and ameliorate experimental arthritis. Mice lacking CD1d-expressing B cells develop exacerbated disease compared to wild-type mice, and fail to respond to treatment with the prototypical iNKT cell agonist α-galactosylceramide. The absence of lipid presentation by B cells alters iNKT cell activation with disruption of metabolism regulation and cytokine responses. Thus, we identify a mechanism by which Bregs restrain excessive inflammation via lipid presentation. Regulatory B cells (Breg) are known to suppress immune responses by secreting interleukin-10 (IL-10). Here the authors show that, alternatively, Bregs may also present lipid antigens on surface CD1d to induce IFN-γ production from invariant natural killer cells to ameliorate experimental arthritis via IL-10-independent pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Current monoanalyte blood-based biomarkers for the diagnosis and follow-up of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) do not achieve satisfactory metrics of sensitivity and specificity. We report the sensitivity and selectivity of the PCR-based test, the NETest, to detect tumors with reference to other benign and malignant gastrointestinal diseases. METHODS A total of 179 cases (gastrointestinal tumors: n=81; pancreatic disease: n=98) were prospectively collected and assessed using the NETest or chromogranin A (CgA) to determine metrics for detecting small intestinal and pancreatic NETs. RESULTS For intestinal carcinoids, the accuracy of the NETest was 93% (all NETs positive and 3 (12%) colorectal tumors were positive). CgA was positive in 80%, but 29% (n=7) of colorectal cancers were CgA positive. For pancreatic disease, the NETest accuracy was 94% (96% NETs positive, 2 (6%) of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) were positive). The accuracy of CgA was 56% (29% of pancreatic NETs were CgA positive). Overall, the NETest was significantly more sensitive than CgA for the detection of small intestinal (area under the curve 0.98 vs. 0.75 P<0.0001) and pancreatic NETs (0.94 vs. 0.52, P<0.0001). NETest scores were elevated (P<0.05) in extensive disease and were more accurate (76-80%) than CgA levels (20-32%). The metrics of the multianalyte NETest met the performance criteria proposed by the National Institutes of Health for biomarkers, whereas CgA measurement did not. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that a blood-based multianalyte NET gene transcript measurement of well-differentiated small intestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor disease is sensitive and specific and outperforms the current monoanalyte diagnostic strategy of plasma CgA measurement.

Abstract
Gut mucosal enterochromaffin (EC) cells are regarded as key regulators of intestinal motility and fluid secretion via secretion of serotonin (5HT), are increased in numbers in mucosal inflammation and located in close proximity to immune cells. We examined whether interleukin (IL)1beta and Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced EC cell 5HT release through Toll-like/IL-1 (TIL) receptor activation, nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and evaluated whether somatostatin could inhibit this phenomenon. Pure (>98%) human intestinal EC cells were isolated by fluorescent activated cell sorting from preparations of normal (n = 5) and Crohn's colitis (n = 6) mucosa. 5HT release was measured (ELISA), and NFkappaB and ERK phosphorylation quantitated (ELISA) in response to IL1beta and LPS. 5HT secretion was increased by both E. coli LPS (EC(50) = 5 ng mL(-1)) and IL1beta (EC(50) = 0.05 pmol L(-1)) >2-fold (P < 0.05) in Crohn's EC cells compared with normal EC cells. Secretion was reversible by the TLR4 antagonist, E. coli K12 LPS (IC(50) = 12 ng mL(-1)) and the IL1beta receptor antagonist (ILRA; IC(50) = 3.4 ng mL(-1)). IL1beta caused significant (P < 0.05) NFkappaB and MAPK phosphorylation (40-55%). The somatostatin analogue, lanreotide inhibited IL1beta-stimulated secretion in Crohn's (IC(50) = 0.61 nmol L(-1)) and normal EC cells (IC(50) = 1.8 nmol L(-1)). Interleukins (IL1beta) and bacterial products (E. coli LPS) stimulated 5HT secretion from Crohn's EC cells via TIL receptor activation (TLR4 and IL1beta). Immune-mediated alterations in EC cell secretion of 5HT may represent a component of the pathogenesis of abnormal bowel function in Crohn's disease. Inhibition of EC cell-mediated 5HT secretion may be an alternative therapeutic strategy in the amelioration of inflammatory bowel disease symptomatology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the diffuse neuroendocrine cell system often present a considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. METHODS We have reviewed the literature on NET treatment between 1979 and 2008 (PubMed search: carcinoid or neuroendocrine tumor/tumour + treatment or management), and summarized current therapeutic options and recommendations. RESULTS The majority of tumors are diagnosed at a stage that the only curative treatment, radical surgical intervention, is no longer an option. Biotherapy with somatostatin analogs is currently the most efficient treatment to achieve palliation. The interferon class of agents may have a role in selected individuals but substantial adverse events often limit their use. Conventional chemotherapy has minimal efficacy but may have some utility in undifferentiated or highly proliferating neuroendocrine carcinomas and pancreatic NETs. Hepatic metastases, depending on size, location and number, may be amenable to surgical resection, embolization or radio-frequency ablation. Peptide receptor targeted radiotherapy may lead to reduction in tumor size but in most circumstances has a tumor-stabilizing effect. A variety of antiangiogenesis and growth factor-targeted agents have been evaluated but to date the results have failed to meet expectations. Thus, long-acting somatostatin analogs remain the only effective pharmacotherapeutic option that improves symptomatology and quality of life with minimal adverse effects.

Abstract
The carcinoid syndrome is usually evident when enterochromaffin (EC) cell-derived neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids) metastasize to the liver. In addition to carcinoid symptomatology, about 40% of patients exhibit carcinoid heart disease (CHD) with fibrotic endocardial plaques and associated heart valve dysfunction. The mechanism behind CHD development is not fully understood, but serotonin (5-HT) is considered to be a major initiator of the fibrotic process. Most patients present with right-sided heart valve dysfunction since pulmonary and tricuspid valves lesions are the most common (>95%) cardiac pathology. Left-sided valvular involvement, and angina associated with coronary vasospasm occur in ~10% of subjects with CHD. Pathognomonic echocardiograpic features include immobility of valve leaflets and thickening and retraction of the cusps most commonly resulting in tricuspid valve regurgitation and pulmonary stenosis. Therapeutic options include cardioactive pharmacotherapy for heart failure and, in selected individuals, cardiac valve replacement. Previously valve replacement was reserved for advanced disease due to a perioperative mortality of >20% however in the last decade, technical advances as well as an earlier diagnosis have decreased surgical mortality to <10% and valve replacements are undertaken more frequently. A recent analysis of 200 cases demonstrated an increase in median survival from 1.5 years to 4.4 years in the last two decades. Although the improved prognosis might also reflect the increased use of surgical cytoreduction, hepatic metastatic ablative therapies and somatostatin analogs a robust correlation between diminution of circulating tumor products and an increased long-term survival in CHD has not been rigorously demonstrated.
