Abstract
Ketogenic diets are emerging as protective interventions in preclinical and clinical models of somatosensory nervous system disorders. Additionally, dysregulation of succinyl-CoA 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 1 (SCOT, encoded by Oxct1), the fate-committing enzyme in mitochondrial ketolysis, has recently been described in Friedreich's ataxia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the contribution of ketone metabolism in the normal development and function of the somatosensory nervous system remains poorly characterized. We generated sensory neuron-specific, Advillin-Cre knockout of SCOT (Adv-KO-SCOT) mice and characterized the structure and function of their somatosensory system. We used histological techniques to assess sensory neuronal populations, myelination, and skin and spinal dorsal horn innervation. We also examined cutaneous and proprioceptive sensory behaviors with the von Frey test, radiant heat assay, rotarod, and grid-walk tests. Adv-KO-SCOT mice exhibited myelination deficits, altered morphology of putative Aδ soma from the dorsal root ganglion, reduced cutaneous innervation, and abnormal innervation of the spinal dorsal horn compared to wildtype mice. Synapsin 1-Cre-driven knockout of Oxct1 confirmed deficits in epidermal innervation following a loss of ketone oxidation. Loss of peripheral axonal ketolysis was further associated with proprioceptive deficits, yet Adv-KO-SCOT mice did not exhibit drastically altered cutaneous mechanical and thermal thresholds. Knockout of Oxct1 in peripheral sensory neurons resulted in histological abnormalities and severe proprioceptive deficits in mice. We conclude that ketone metabolism is essential for the development of the somatosensory nervous system. These findings also suggest that decreased ketone oxidation in the somatosensory nervous system may explain the neurological symptoms of Friedreich's ataxia.

Abstract
Significance: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), a complication of metabolic syndrome, type I and type II diabetes, leads to sensory changes that include slow nerve conduction, nerve degeneration, loss of sensation, pain, and gate disturbances. These complications remain largely untreatable, although tight glycemic control can prevent neuropathy progression. Nonpharmacologic approaches remain the most impactful to date, but additional advances in treatment approaches are needed. Recent Advances: This review highlights several emerging interventions, including a focus on dietary interventions and physical activity, that continue to show promise for treating DPN. We provide an overview of our current understanding of how exercise can improve aspects of DPN. We also highlight new studies in which a ketogenic diet has been used as an intervention to prevent and reverse DPN. Critical Issues: Both exercise and consuming a ketogenic diet induce systemic and cellular changes that collectively improve complications associated with DPN. Both interventions may involve similar signaling pathways and benefits but also impact DPN through unique mechanisms. Future Directions: These lifestyle interventions are critically important as personalized medicine approaches will likely be needed to identify specific subsets of neuropathy symptoms and deficits in patients, and determine the most impactful treatment. Overall, these two interventions have the potential to provide meaningful relief for patients with DPN and provide new avenues to identify new therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Background Intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) has become an important biomarker for neuropathy diagnosis and research. The consequences of reduced IENFD can include sensory dysfunction, pain, and a significant decrease in quality of life. We examined the extent to which IENFD is being used as a tool in human and mouse models and compared the degree of fiber loss between diseases to gain a broader understanding of the existing data collected using this common technique. Methods We conducted a scoping review of publications that used IENFD as a biomarker in human and non-human research. PubMed was used to identify 1,004 initial articles that were then screened to select articles that met the criteria for inclusion. Criteria were chosen to standardize publications so they could be compared rigorously and included having a control group, measuring IENFD in a distal limb, and using protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5). Results We analyzed 397 articles and collected information related to publication year, the condition studied, and the percent IENFD loss. The analysis revealed that the use of IENFD as a tool has been increasing in both human and non-human research. We found that IENFD loss is prevalent in many diseases, and metabolic or diabetes-related diseases were the most studied conditions in humans and rodents. Our analysis identified 73 human diseases in which IENFD was affected, with 71 reporting IENFD loss and an overall average IENFD change of -47%. We identified 28 mouse and 21 rat conditions, with average IENFD changes of -31.6% and -34.7%, respectively. Additionally, we present data describing sub-analyses of IENFD loss according to disease characteristics in diabetes and chemotherapy treatments in humans and rodents. Interpretation Reduced IENFD occurs in a surprising number of human disease conditions. Abnormal IENFD contributes to important complications, including poor cutaneous vascularization, sensory dysfunction, and pain. Our analysis informs future rodent studies so they may better mirror human diseases impacted by reduced IENFD, highlights the breadth of diseases impacted by IENFD loss, and urges exploration of common mechanisms that lead to substantial IENFD loss as a complication in disease.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Dietary interventions are promising approaches to treat pain associated with metabolic changes because they impact both metabolic and neural components contributing to painful neuropathy. Here, we tested whether consumption of a ketogenic diet could affect sensation, pain, and epidermal innervation loss in type 1 diabetic mice. C57Bl/6 mice were rendered diabetic using streptozotocin and administered a ketogenic diet at either 3 weeks (prevention) or 9 weeks (reversal) of uncontrolled diabetes. We quantified changes in metabolic biomarkers, sensory thresholds, and epidermal innervation to assess impact on neuropathy parameters. Diabetic mice consuming a ketogenic diet had normalized weight gain, reduced blood glucose, elevated blood ketones, and reduced hemoglobin-A1C levels. These metabolic biomarkers were also improved after 9 weeks of diabetes followed by 4 weeks of a ketogenic diet. Diabetic mice fed a control chow diet developed rapid mechanical allodynia of the hind paw that was reversed within a week of consumption of a ketogenic diet in both prevention and reversal studies. Loss of thermal sensation was also improved by consumption of a ketogenic diet through normalized thermal thresholds. Finally, diabetic mice consuming a ketogenic diet had normalized epidermal innervation, including after 9 weeks of uncontrolled diabetes and 4 weeks of consumption of the ketogenic diet. These results suggest that, in mice, a ketogenic diet can prevent and reverse changes in key metabolic biomarkers, altered sensation, pain, and axon innervation of the skin. These results identify a ketogenic diet as a potential therapeutic intervention for patients with painful diabetic neuropathy and/or epidermal axon loss.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and its type-2 receptor (V2R) play an essential role in the regulation of salt and water homeostasis by the kidneys. V2R activation also stimulates proliferation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines in vitro. The current studies investigated V2R expression and activity in human RCC tumors, and its role in RCC tumor growth. Examination of the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database, and analysis of human RCC tumor tissue microarrays, cDNA arrays and tumor biopsy samples demonstrated V2R expression and activity in clear cell RCC (ccRCC). In vitro, V2R antagonists OPC31260 and Tolvaptan, or V2R gene silencing reduced wound closure and cell viability of 786-O and Caki-1 human ccRCC cell lines. Similarly in mouse xenograft models, Tolvaptan and OPC31260 decreased RCC tumor growth by reducing cell proliferation and angiogenesis, while increasing apoptosis. In contrast, the V2R agonist dDAVP significantly increased tumor growth. High intracellular cAMP levels and ERK1/2 activation were observed in human ccRCC tumors. In mouse tumors and Caki-1 cells, V2R agonists reduced cAMP and ERK1/2 activation, while dDAVP treatment had the reverse effect. V2R gene silencing in Caki-1 cells also reduced cAMP and ERK1/2 activation. These results provide novel evidence for a pathogenic role of V2R signaling in ccRCC, and suggest that inhibitors of the AVP-V2R pathway, including the FDA-approved drug Tolvaptan, could be utilized as novel ccRCC therapeutics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus that causes cancer in multiple sites. Although sexual activity is the primary means of oropharyngeal HPV acquisition, studies suggest HPV transmission through occupational exposure from medical instruments and surgical fumes. We assess if aerosolization of HPV16 DNA via electrocautery places otolaryngologists at risk for exposure. STUDY DESIGN Animal and human laboratory model. METHODS Plasmid (pLXSN16E6E7) expressing HPV p16 E6/E7 genes was transformed into DH5α Escherichia coli cells using the heat shock method. Miniprep and maxiprep purification of transformed DNA with subsequent restriction enzyme double digestion confirmed presence of E6E7 fragment. We injected 2 μg plasmid DNA in 20 μL TE (Tris and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) buffer intradermally into freshly severed mouse tail then cauterized for 5 to 10 seconds. Generated fumes were collected through a suction tube fitted with Whatman filter paper. Filter paper was placed in 100 μL TE buffer. Additionally, six patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery for resection of oropharyngeal cancer were identified, three with p16-negative tumors and three with p16-positive tumors. Intraoperatively, Whatman filter paper was exposed to electrocautery fumes, then placed in 100 uL TE buffer. Additional samples were collected from the suction tubing and filter, the surgical mask of the surgeon at head of the bed, and the robot arm. RESULTS Samples were analyzed via polymerase chain reaction with an assay sensitivity of 1.5 ng E6E7 DNA. None of the patient or mouse tail samples yielded detectable HPV16 DNA in the electrocautery fumes. We did not detect HPV16 DNA on the surgical masks, suction apparatus, or robot arm intraoperatively. CONCLUSIONS There is likely minimal risk of occupational exposure to HPV16 via electrocautery fumes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 130:2366-2371, 2020.

Abstract
Abstract
Cancer progression is linked to physical properties, cellular and biochemical composition of the tissue environment including the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM not only provides signaling cues by presenting ligands, but also plays a key role in mechano-sensing: modulation of biochemical pathways by physical forces. Collagens are one of the most abundant components of the ECM. We previously reported that head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which is the 6th most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide with < 40% 5-year survival rates, express higher levels of collagen 11a1 (Col11a1) than normal adjacent mucosa. Col11a1 is a minor fibrillar collagen whose main physiologic role is to regulate the diameter of major collagen fibrils in the cartilage. Although reported that Col11a1 facilitates HNSCC proliferation and invasion, not much is known about its role in the tumor microenvironment. We tested the hypothesis that Col11a1-cancer interdependence facilitates tumor adhesion and metastatic colonization. We developed ECM substrates from cell lines and HNSCC tumor tissue that were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy. Electrospun meshes with ECM substrates were developed and used to assess HNSCC adhesion, proliferation and motility. We used a 3D multi-cell type spheroid culture model called the primitive-lung-in-a-dish (PLiD) to demonstrate that Col11a1 siRNA targeting attenuates HNSCC colonization in the lung. Further, using homogenized and lyophilized decellularized ECM from mouse lungs, we demonstrate that Col11a1 regulates motility of HNSCC. Overall, we have used several models to elucidate the role of Col11a1 in HNSCC adhesion and metastatic colonization.

Abstract
We previously reported that ionizing radiation (IR) mediates cell death through the induction of CUGBP elav-like family member 2 (CELF2), a tumor suppressor. CELF2 is an RNA binding protein that modulates mRNA stability and translation. Since IR induces autophagy, we hypothesized that CELF2 regulates autophagy-mediated colorectal cancer (CRC) cell death. For clinical relevance, we determined CELF2 levels in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Role of CELF2 in radiation response was carried out in CRC cell lines by immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, autophagic vacuole analyses, RNA stability assay, quantitative polymerase chain reaction and electron microscopy. In vivo studies were performed in a xenograft tumor model. TCGA analyses demonstrated that compared to normal tissue, CELF2 is expressed at significantly lower levels in CRC, and is associated with better overall 5-year survival in patients receiving radiation. Mechanistically, CELF2 increased levels of critical components of the autophagy cascade including Beclin-1, ATG5, and ATG12 by modulating mRNA stability. CELF2 also increased autophagic flux in CRC. IR significantly induced autophagy in CRC which correlates with increased levels of CELF2 and autophagy associated proteins. Silencing CELF2 with siRNA, mitigated IR induced autophagy. Moreover, knockdown of CELF2 in vivo conferred tumor resistance to IR. These studies elucidate an unrecognized role for CELF2 in inducing autophagy and potentiating the effects of radiotherapy in CRC.

Abstract
Despite aggressive therapies, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with a less than 50% 5-year survival rate. Late-stage HNSCC frequently consists of up to 80% cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF). We previously reported that CAF-secreted HGF facilitates HNSCC progression; however, very little is known about the role of CAFs in HNSCC metabolism. Here, we demonstrate that CAF-secreted HGF increases extracellular lactate levels in HNSCC via upregulation of glycolysis. CAF-secreted HGF induced basic FGF (bFGF) secretion from HNSCC. CAFs were more efficient than HNSCC in using lactate as a carbon source. HNSCC-secreted bFGF increased mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and HGF secretion from CAFs. Combined inhibition of c-Met and FGFR significantly inhibited CAF-induced HNSCC growth in vitro and in vivo (P < 0.001). Our cumulative findings underscore reciprocal signaling between CAF and HNSCC involving bFGF and HGF. This contributes to metabolic symbiosis and a targetable therapeutic axis involving c-Met and FGFR.Significance: HNSCC cancer cells and CAFs have a metabolic relationship where CAFs secrete HGF to induce a glycolytic switch in HNSCC cells and HNSCC cells secrete bFGF to promote lactate consumption by CAFs.

Abstract
The emission of neutron pairs from the neutron-rich N=12 isotones ^{18}C and ^{20}O has been studied by high-energy nucleon knockout from ^{19}N and ^{21}O secondary beams, populating unbound states of the two isotones up to 15 MeV above their two-neutron emission thresholds. The analysis of triple fragment-n-n correlations shows that the decay ^{19}N(-1p)^{18}C^{*}→^{16}C+n+n is clearly dominated by direct pair emission. The two-neutron correlation strength, the largest ever observed, suggests the predominance of a ^{14}C core surrounded by four valence neutrons arranged in strongly correlated pairs. On the other hand, a significant competition of a sequential branch is found in the decay ^{21}O(-1n)^{20}O^{*}→^{18}O+n+n, attributed to its formation through the knockout of a deeply bound neutron that breaks the ^{16}O core and reduces the number of pairs.

Abstract
Quasifree one-proton knockout reactions have been employed in inverse kinematics for a systematic study of the structure of stable and exotic oxygen isotopes at the R^{3}B/LAND setup with incident beam energies in the range of 300-450 MeV/u. The oxygen isotopic chain offers a large variation of separation energies that allows for a quantitative understanding of single-particle strength with changing isospin asymmetry. Quasifree knockout reactions provide a complementary approach to intermediate-energy one-nucleon removal reactions. Inclusive cross sections for quasifree knockout reactions of the type ^{A}O(p,2p)^{A-1}N have been determined and compared to calculations based on the eikonal reaction theory. The reduction factors for the single-particle strength with respect to the independent-particle model were obtained and compared to state-of-the-art ab initio predictions. The results do not show any significant dependence on proton-neutron asymmetry.

Abstract
SETTING St John's District, Grand Bassa County, Liberia. OBJECTIVES In households with children aged <5 years, to examine the coverage and use of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs), factors associated with non-use and the characteristics and conditions of bed nets. DESIGN Cross-sectional study involving interviews with mothers and visual inspection of LLINs. RESULTS Of 663 households visited, 492 (74%) had no LLIN and 135 (20%) had one LLIN. Of 171 households with LLINs, these were consistently used by 73 (43%) children. The main reasons for inconsistent use included LLINs being old or damaged, and LLINs generating too much heat for 20-30% of children. Visual inspection of LLINs in 130 households showed that 98% of LLINs were white, 20% were not hung above the child's sleeping place, 30% had holes, 84% were double-bed sized and 82% had been washed in the previous 6 months. CONCLUSION Despite reports of 100% LLIN coverage in St John's District, this study showed that only a quarter of households had an LLIN, over half of the children used LLINs inconsistently and the LLINs had several deficiencies. More surveys should be conducted to determine the true coverage of LLINs in Liberia, and measures must be taken to improve the use of LLINs.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and complication rate of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair for small babies weighing 3 kg or less. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the surgical charts of 67 infants (47 boys and 20 girls) weighing 3 kg or less who underwent laparoscopic hernia repair in a 3-year period. A regular 5-mm scope was used for visualization, and 2 or 3-mm instruments were used for the closure of the inner inguinal ring using 3/0 non-absorbable suture. The median weight at surgery was 2,600 g (range 1,450-3,000 g). All except three were premature. RESULTS Of the 67 infants, 15 (22.3 %) presented with an irreducible hernia. In three cases of irreducible hernias, we also performed a transumbilical appendectomy at the end of the hernia repair. Minor problems related with anesthesia were noted in four cases. Hernia recurrence was observed in three patients (4.4 %). No cases of testicular atrophy occurred. In 10 boys, we observed 12 cases of high testes, only 4 testes requiring subsequent orchiopexy. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair for babies weighing 3 kg or less is feasible, safe and perhaps even less technically demanding than open inguinal herniotomy.

Abstract
We report on a study of the polarization transfer between transversely polarized incident electrons and the emitted x rays for electron-atom bremsstrahlung. By means of Compton polarimetry we performed for the first time an energy-differential measurement of the complete properties of bremsstrahlung emission related to linear polarization, i.e., the degree of linear polarization as well as the orientation of the polarization axis. For the high-energy end of the bremsstrahlung continuum the experimental results for both observables show a high sensitivity on the initial electron spin polarization and prove that the polarization orientation is virtually independent of the photon energy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective was to develop evidence-based clinical care guidelines for the screening, diagnosis, management, and treatment of vitamin D deficiency in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). PARTICIPANTS The guidelines committee was comprised of physicians, registered dietitians, a pharmacist, a nurse, a parent of an individual with CF, and a health scientist, all with experience in CF. PROCESS Committee members developed questions specific to vitamin D health in individuals with CF. Systematic reviews were completed for each question. The committee reviewed and graded the available evidence and developed evidence-based recommendations and consensus recommendations when insufficient evidence was available. Each consensus recommendation was voted upon by an anonymous process. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D deficiency is common in CF. Given the limited evidence specific to CF, the committee provided consensus recommendations for most of the recommendations. The committee recommends yearly screening for vitamin D status, preferably at the end of winter, using the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measurement, with a minimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration of 30 ng/ml (75 nmol/liter) considered vitamin D sufficient in individuals with CF. Recommendations for age-specific vitamin D intake for all individuals with CF, form of vitamin D, and a stepwise approach to increase vitamin D intake when optimal vitamin D status is not achieved are delineated.

Abstract
Atomic-field bremsstrahlung has been studied with a longitudinally polarized electron beam. The correlation between the initial orientation of the electron spin and the angle of photon polarization has been measured at the photon high energy tip region. In the time reversal this corresponds to a so-far unobserved phenomenon of production of longitudinally polarized electrons by photoionization of unpolarized atoms with linearly polarized photons. The results confirm the fully relativistic calculations for radiative recombination and suggest a new method for electron beam polarimetry.

Abstract
PURPOSE Aim of this study was to report our experiences with tubularized incised plate (TIP) repair without placement of a postoperative urethral stent in 41 cases. PATIENTS AND METHODS Since October 2005, we have performed TIP repair for distal penile hypospadias without using a postoperative urethral stent. A urethral stent is used intraoperatively for the tubularization of the neourethra and is removed at the end of the procedure. Follow-up included clinical examination and a structured telephone interview on parental satisfaction. RESULTS The group included 41 boys, 60% with coronal or distal hypospadias and 40% with mid-shaft hypospadias (aged 6 months to 16 years, median: 3 years). In 7 cases, the prepuce was also reconstructed. There were 2 cases with fistula and one case of meatal stenosis. No glans dehiscence, severe bleeding, or wound infection was observed. No urinary retention requiring catheterization was observed, irrespective of age. All but one patient was discharged the day after surgery. Follow-up ranged from 8 to 48 months (average: 22 months). Most parents (87.5%) were satisfied or very satisfied. CONCLUSION Based on our preliminary experiences, patient comfort and safety, parental satisfaction and the rate of complications seem to be promising with this technique.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We report the clinical, operative, and outcome results in 58 premature infants (with maximum weight of 5,000 g at time of surgery) undergoing laparoscopic herniorrhaphy. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was designed as a prospective, non-randomized single center feasibility study. The inclusion criteria were: symptomatic inguinal hernia, gestational age up to 37 weeks and maximum weight of 5,000 g at the time of surgery. Out of 58 premature infants (42 boys and 16 girls), 24 had bilateral, 20 had right-sided and 14 had left-sided hernias. 14 (24.1%) infants were operated on for an irreducible hernia. RESULTS The median gestational age at birth was 33 weeks (range 23-37) and the median gestational age at operation was 41 weeks (range 33-52). The body weight at surgery ranged from 1,450 g to 5,000 g (median 3 900 g); 11 infants (19%) weighed less than 2 500 g. No intraoperative surgical complications occurred. Anesthesia complications were noted in 7 cases. At median follow-up of 25 months (range 6-51 months), there were 3 hernia recurrences in 2 infants (3.6%). In 5 boys, we observed high testes requiring subsequent orchiopexy. Regression analysis showed that the risk of undescended testes increased by 65.5% for every 1 kilo lower weight at surgery. CONCLUSION Based on our early results, it seems that laparoscopic hernia repair in preterm infants and very low birth weight babies is a safe and feasible procedure and has some procedural benefits compared to the standard open technique.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility and efficacy of a sutureless laparoscopic hernia repair in a small animal model. The objective was to occlude the processus vaginalis with biocompatible fleece and/or fibrin glue as an alternative to suturing. METHODS Sixty-three male CD rats were randomly assigned to one of three groups. In group A (n=21), the internal inguinal ring was filled with 0.5 ml fibrin glue. The second group (B, n=21) also received fibrin glue, and a biocompatible fleece was placed on top. The third group consisted of control animals (C, n=21). Eleven rats in each group underwent laparoscopic surgery. The remaining rats were operated using an open technique, and the paraductal lipomas were resected in addition to inguinal ring closure. RESULTS Complete closure of the internal hernia ring was not achieved in any of the rats, neither in the laparoscopic group nor in the open group or the control group. The paraductal lipoma grew back to its normal size, although resection of the lipoma was performed during the first procedure. CONCLUSION The physiology of paraductal lipomas in this animal appears to make it an inadequate model for the study of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are a rare entity. Localization in the stomach is extremely seldom and almost exclusively seen in children. Invasive growth of IMT may lead to irresectability or recurrence. In an 8-month-old girl presented with repetitive vomiting for several days. Complete surgical resection of a gastric IMT was possible.

Abstract
PURPOSE This prospective study evaluated the diagnostic and therapeutic feasibility and safety of microlaparoscopy for the management of chronic abdominal pain in children. METHODS The study included 45 children (13 boys and 32 girls; age range from 6 to 16 years, average 9.5 years) undergoing diagnostic microlaparoscopy for chronic abdominal pain. Microlaparoscopy (the exclusive use of 2 mm instrument sets and small diameter scopes, i. e. 1.7 mm, 1.9 mm and 2.4 mm) was performed after common organic diseases were ruled out by careful baseline investigations. RESULTS No complications occurred which were related to the exclusive use of 2 mm instruments and small scopes. CT scans were avoided in all patients. No intraoperative pathological findings were found in 18 children. In another 18 children, the intraoperative findings indicated the need for further surgical intervention. At follow-up, 26 patients reported that they were totally pain-free; 10 children had partial resolution after surgery, and 8 children reported only minimal resolution. In 20 cases, the procedures were accomplished as an outpatient surgery. CONCLUSION Microlaparoscopy seems to be a safe and effective diagnostic tool with a favorable diagnostic accuracy, minimal access trauma and superior cosmesis in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CPAP is widely used in preterm infants on NICUs but it poses a stressful stimulus to the patient, sometimes requiring the use of analgosedative drugs. AIM The aim of this study is to evaluate the risks and benefits associated with the use of low-dose morphine in preterm infants with CPAP, especially apnea. METHODS Sixty-four CPAP-treated preterm infants, who received a low single dose of morphine (recommended 0.01 mg/kg), were included in this prospective study. Observation-time was 4 h prior to injection, directly before injecting, until 15 min and 15-30 min, 30 min-1 h, 1-2 h, 2-3 h, 3-4 h, 4-5 h and 5-6 h after injection. For all observation periods incidence of apnea, heart rate, respiratory rate and a score for analgesia and for sedation were recorded. RESULTS Sixty-four preterm infants (29.6+/-3.3 weeks gestational age (GA), birth weight 1401+/-735 g) received 0.025+/-0.012 mg/kg morphine i.v. on the day 10-13 of life. The decrease in heart and respiratory rate, scores for analgesia and sedation were significant. The overall incidence of apnea did not increase compared to the 4 h pre-morphine period. Six patients (9.3%) experienced considerable delayed apnea. This group was significantly younger in GA (p<0.001) and lighter in birth weight (p=0.002). CONCLUSION Morphine in dosage less than half of recommended dosage has a high analgetic and sedative potential. The danger of delayed severe apnea has to be taken into consideration in the clinical situation, especially in patients<28 weeks.

Abstract
Inclusive inelastic electron scattering off the deuteron under 180 degrees has been studied at the S-DALINAC close to the breakup threshold at momentum transfers q=0.27 fm;{-1} and 0.74 fm;{-1} with good energy resolution sufficient to map in detail the spin flip M1 response, which governs the starting reaction pn-->dgamma of big-bang nucleosynthesis over most of the relevant temperature region. Results from potential model calculations and (for q=0.27 fm;{-1}) from pionless nuclear effective field theory are in excellent agreement with the data.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic daily headache (CDH) is a chronic painful clinical condition that is frequently found in neurological practice. Diagnosis is clinical and the therapeutic approach is complex. Its mechanism of production is still not altogether clear, but a genetic component is acknowledged as a predisposing factor. Numerous areas are involved in the generation of primary headaches, including the periaqueductal grey matter (PAGM), which plays a role as a neuromodulator both in headaches and in other chronic painful conditions. AIMS In order to evaluate possible biochemical changes in patients with CDH, magnetic resonance imaging was used to study the spectra produced in the PAGM. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The spectra in the PAGM were studied in 17 patients with CDH. These were compared with the average spectra in 17 healthy subjects by means of differential spectroscopy. RESULTS Subjects with CDH show a reduction of over 70% in the level of the metabolite N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) in the PAGM. NAAG is a peptide involved in antinociceptive activity. CONCLUSIONS The reduction of NAAG in the PAGM suggests altered neuromodulation of the antinociceptive systems in subjects with CDH. Whether CDH is the cause or the consequence has still to be determined.

Abstract
Maternal separation can interfere with growth and development of the brain and represents a significant risk factor for adult psychopathology. In rodents, prolonged separation from the mother affects the behavioral and endocrine responses to stress for the lifetime of the animal. Limbic structures such as the anterodorsal thalamic nuclei (ADTN) play an important role in the control of neuroendocrine and sympathetic-adrenal function. In view of these findings we hypothesized that the function of the ADTN may be affected in an animal model of maternal deprivation. To test this hypothesis female rats were isolated 4.5 h daily, during the first 3 weeks of life and tested as adults. We evaluated plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE), cardiac adrenoreceptors and anxiety responses after maternal deprivation and variable chronic stress (VCS) in ADTN-lesioned rats. Thirty days after ADTN lesion, in non-maternally deprived rats basal plasma NE concentration was greater and cardiac beta-adrenoreceptor density was lower than that in the sham-lesioned group. Maternal deprivation induced a significant increase in basal plasma NE concentration, which was greater in lesioned rats, and cardiac beta-adrenoreceptor density was decreased in lesioned rats. After VCS plasma catecholamine concentration was much greater in non-maternally deprived rats than in maternally-deprived rats; cardiac beta-adrenoreceptor density was decreased by VCS in both maternally-deprived and non-deprived rats, but more so in non-deprived rats, and further decreased by the ADTN lesion. In the plus maze test, the number of open arm entries was greater in the maternally deprived and in the stressed rats. Thus, sympathetic-adrenal medullary activation produced by VCS was much greater in non-deprived rats, and was linked to a down regulation of myocardial beta-adrenoceptors. The ADTN are not responsible for the reduced catecholamine responses to stress in maternally-deprived rats. Maternal deprivation or chronic stress also induced a long term anxiolytic effect, which was also not affected by ADTN lesion.

Abstract
The 9Be(32Ar, 31Ar)X reaction, leading to the 5/2+ ground state of a nucleus at the proton drip line, has a cross section of 10.4(13) mb at a beam energy of 65.1 MeV/nucleon. This translates into a spectroscopic factor that is only 24(3)% of that predicted by the many-body shell-model theory. We introduce refinements to the eikonal reaction theory used to extract the spectroscopic factor to clarify that this very strong reduction represents an effect of nuclear structure. We suggest that it reflects correlation effects linked to the high neutron separation energy (22.0 MeV) for this state.

Abstract
The reaction 9Be(28Mg,26Ne+gamma)X has been studied at 82 MeV/nucleon together with two similar cases, 30Mg and 34Si. Strong evidence that the reactions are direct is offered by the parallel-momentum distributions of the reaction residues and by the inclusive cross sections. The pattern of the partial cross sections for 28Mg suggests the presence of correlations. A preliminary theoretical discussion based on eikonal reaction theory and the many-body shell model is presented. The reaction holds great promise for the study of neutron-rich nuclei.

Abstract
The doubly magic nuclei 40Ca and 48Ca have been studied in high resolution photon scattering experiments. We have derived absolute dipole and quadrupole excitation strengths up to 10 MeV. Evidence was found for a two-phonon quadrupole-octupole state in 48Ca. At higher energies in contrast to 40Ca, a concentration of dipole strength is observed in 48Ca which is discussed in terms of a pygmy resonance originating from the large neutron excess.

Abstract
Adenosine, derived from hydrolysis of 5'-AMP by 5'-nucleotidase activity, may be involved in coupling coronary blood flow to cardiac function and metabolism; it has been postulated as a cardioprotective substance in ischemic myocardium. The stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors produces an increase in adenosine by 5'-AMP hydrolysis. In addition, it has been demonstrated that in Chagas' disease there is decreased cardiac perfusion. We show in this paper by histochemical and densitometric procedures that ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity increases in ventricles of acutely Trypanosoma cruzi-infected mice and that the density of beta-adrenergic receptors is significantly diminished with affinity similar to controls, showing that a compensatory mechanism was absent. The increase of ecto-5'-nucleotidase in heart myocytes from infected mice may produce cardioprotective adenosine that may be independent of beta-adrenergic function, based on the hypoperfusion conditions of acute chagasic cardiomyopathy.
