Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multiorgan impact of moderate to severe coronavirus infections in the post-acute phase is still poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities after hospitalisation with COVID-19, evaluate their determinants, and explore associations with patient-related outcome measures. METHODS In a prospective, UK-wide, multicentre MRI follow-up study (C-MORE), adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital following COVID-19 who were included in Tier 2 of the Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) and contemporary controls with no evidence of previous COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody negative) underwent multiorgan MRI (lungs, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys) with quantitative and qualitative assessment of images and clinical adjudication when relevant. Individuals with end-stage renal failure or contraindications to MRI were excluded. Participants also underwent detailed recording of symptoms, and physiological and biochemical tests. The primary outcome was the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities (two or more organs) relative to controls, with further adjustments for potential confounders. The C-MORE study is ongoing and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510025. FINDINGS Of 2710 participants in Tier 2 of PHOSP-COVID, 531 were recruited across 13 UK-wide C-MORE sites. After exclusions, 259 C-MORE patients (mean age 57 years [SD 12]; 158 [61%] male and 101 [39%] female) who were discharged from hospital with PCR-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and Nov 1, 2021, and 52 non-COVID-19 controls from the community (mean age 49 years [SD 14]; 30 [58%] male and 22 [42%] female) were included in the analysis. Patients were assessed at a median of 5·0 months (IQR 4·2-6·3) after hospital discharge. Compared with non-COVID-19 controls, patients were older, living with more obesity, and had more comorbidities. Multiorgan abnormalities on MRI were more frequent in patients than in controls (157 [61%] of 259 vs 14 [27%] of 52; p<0·0001) and independently associated with COVID-19 status (odds ratio [OR] 2·9 [95% CI 1·5-5·8]; padjusted=0·0023) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have MRI evidence of lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls. Patients with multiorgan abnormalities were older (difference in mean age 7 years [95% CI 4-10]; mean age of 59·8 years [SD 11·7] with multiorgan abnormalities vs mean age of 52·8 years [11·9] without multiorgan abnormalities; p<0·0001), more likely to have three or more comorbidities (OR 2·47 [1·32-4·82]; padjusted=0·0059), and more likely to have a more severe acute infection (acute CRP >5mg/L, OR 3·55 [1·23-11·88]; padjusted=0·025) than those without multiorgan abnormalities. Presence of lung MRI abnormalities was associated with a two-fold higher risk of chest tightness, and multiorgan MRI abnormalities were associated with severe and very severe persistent physical and mental health impairment (PHOSP-COVID symptom clusters) after hospitalisation. INTERPRETATION After hospitalisation for COVID-19, people are at risk of multiorgan abnormalities in the medium term. Our findings emphasise the need for proactive multidisciplinary care pathways, with the potential for imaging to guide surveillance frequency and therapeutic stratification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions exist for patients with long COVID. We aimed to describe recovery 1 year after hospital discharge for COVID-19, identify factors associated with patient-perceived recovery, and identify potential therapeutic targets by describing the underlying inflammatory profiles of the previously described recovery clusters at 5 months after hospital discharge. METHODS The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study recruiting adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital with COVID-19 across the UK. Recovery was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance, and organ function at 5 months and 1 year after hospital discharge, and stratified by both patient-perceived recovery and recovery cluster. Hierarchical logistic regression modelling was performed for patient-perceived recovery at 1 year. Cluster analysis was done using the clustering large applications k-medoids approach using clinical outcomes at 5 months. Inflammatory protein profiling was analysed from plasma at the 5-month visit. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN10980107, and recruitment is ongoing. FINDINGS 2320 participants discharged from hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021, were assessed at 5 months after discharge and 807 (32·7%) participants completed both the 5-month and 1-year visits. 279 (35·6%) of these 807 patients were women and 505 (64·4%) were men, with a mean age of 58·7 (SD 12·5) years, and 224 (27·8%) had received invasive mechanical ventilation (WHO class 7-9). The proportion of patients reporting full recovery was unchanged between 5 months (501 [25·5%] of 1965) and 1 year (232 [28·9%] of 804). Factors associated with being less likely to report full recovery at 1 year were female sex (odds ratio 0·68 [95% CI 0·46-0·99]), obesity (0·50 [0·34-0·74]) and invasive mechanical ventilation (0·42 [0·23-0·76]). Cluster analysis (n=1636) corroborated the previously reported four clusters: very severe, severe, moderate with cognitive impairment, and mild, relating to the severity of physical health, mental health, and cognitive impairment at 5 months. We found increased inflammatory mediators of tissue damage and repair in both the very severe and the moderate with cognitive impairment clusters compared with the mild cluster, including IL-6 concentration, which was increased in both comparisons (n=626 participants). We found a substantial deficit in median EQ-5D-5L utility index from before COVID-19 (retrospective assessment; 0·88 [IQR 0·74-1·00]), at 5 months (0·74 [0·64-0·88]) to 1 year (0·75 [0·62-0·88]), with minimal improvements across all outcome measures at 1 year after discharge in the whole cohort and within each of the four clusters. INTERPRETATION The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission. Systematic inflammation and obesity are potential treatable traits that warrant further investigation in clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome (BRPS) is a recently described developmental disorder caused by de novo truncating mutations in the additional sex combs like 3 (ASXL3) gene. To date, there have been fewer than 10 reported patients. OBJECTIVES Here, we delineate the BRPS phenotype further by describing a series of 12 previously unreported patients identified by the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study. METHODS Trio-based exome sequencing was performed on all 12 patients included in this study, which found a de novo truncating mutation in ASXL3. Detailed phenotypic information and patient images were collected and summarised as part of this study. RESULTS By obtaining genotype:phenotype data, we have been able to demonstrate a second mutation cluster region within ASXL3. This report expands the phenotype of older patients with BRPS; common emerging features include severe intellectual disability (11/12), poor/ absent speech (12/12), autistic traits (9/12), distinct face (arched eyebrows, prominent forehead, high-arched palate, hypertelorism and downslanting palpebral fissures), (9/12), hypotonia (11/12) and significant feeding difficulties (9/12) when young. DISCUSSION Similarities in the patients reported previously in comparison with this cohort included their distinctive craniofacial features, feeding problems, absent/limited speech and intellectual disability. Shared behavioural phenotypes include autistic traits, hand-flapping, rocking, aggressive behaviour and sleep disturbance. CONCLUSIONS This series expands the phenotypic spectrum of this severe disorder and highlights its surprisingly high frequency. With the advent of advanced genomic screening, we are likely to identify more variants in this gene presenting with a variable phenotype, which this study will explore.

Abstract
Several databases of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been established in the USA. The University of Tennessee at Memphis Cohort was organized in 1967-1971 to enroll 50 young adults (16-44 years) with symptom onset of < or = 6 months who met the 1958 American Rheumatism Association (ARA) criteria for at least probable RA. Two important observations from this database were that many patients seen within the first 6 months of meeting the criteria for probable RA have a self-limited rather than progressive disease, and that progressive disease is predicted by a high number of baseline swollen and tender joints. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) cohort of patients with peripheral synovitis for > or = 6 weeks but < 12 months in at least one peripheral joint was established in 1994. At the one-year follow-up, 45% of the patients met the RA criteria, 9% had reactive arthritis, 6% had psoriatic arthritis, 5% had other rheumatic diseases, and 35% had undifferentiated arthritis. The number of active joints, rather than meeting the criteria for RA, was the primary determinant of function and performance after one year. The Western Consortium of Practicing Rheumatologists (CPR) was established in 1993 to enroll patients with an RA duration < 1 year, positive rheumatoid factor, > or = 6 swollen and > or = 9 tender joints, and no previous treatment with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Data from this cohort indicated the validity of self-report joint counts. American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement (ACR20) responses were seen in 50% of patients at 6 months and in 57% of patients at 24 months, while antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were seen in 69% of patients prior to the availability of biologic agents. The North American Cohort of Patients with Early RA (SONORA), which included patients with symptoms for > 3 but < 12 months, indicated that methotrexate (MTX) was the most frequently prescribed DMARD, being taken by more than half the patients. The Consortium for the Longitudinal Evaluation of African-Americans with RA (CLEAR) registry and DNA repository has enrolled 123 African-American patients with early RA of less than 2 years' duration to analyze genetic and non-genetic factors associated with disease severity. The Early RA Treatment Evaluation Registry (ERATER) of patients with early RA (< 3 years) was established in 2001. In this registry, MTX was the first DMARD used in 83% of patients, and most patients would not meet the criteria for inclusion in recent clinical trials of biological agents. Further observation of recent cohorts of patients with early RA over the next decade should be informative regarding whether aggressive intervention strategies and new DMARDs and biologic agents lead to improved long-term outcomes.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of allogeneic tissue engineered cartilage implants on healing of osteochondral defects. Rabbit chondrocytes were cultured in monolayer, then seeded onto biodegradable, three-dimensional polyglycolic acid meshes. Cartilage constructs were cultured hydrodynamically to yield tissue with relatively more (mature) or less (immature) hyalinelike cartilage, as compared with adult rabbit articular cartilage. Osteochondral defects in the patellar grooves of both stifle joints either were left untreated or implanted with allogeneic tissue engineered cartilage. Histologic samples from in and around the defect sites were examined 3, 6, 9, and 12, and 24 months after surgery. By 9 months after surgery, defects sites treated with cartilage implants contained significantly greater amounts of hyalinelike cartilage with high levels of proteoglycan, and had a smooth, nonfibrillated articular surface as compared to untreated defects. In contrast, the repair tissue formed in untreated defects had fibrillated articular surfaces, significant amounts of fibrocartilage, and negligible proteoglycan. These differences between treated and untreated defects persisted through 24 months after surgery. The results of this study suggest that the treatment of osteochondral lesions with allogenic tissue engineered cartilage implants may lead to superior repair tissue than that found in untreated osteochondral lesions.

Abstract
Inflammation with subsequent migration of leucocytes and connective tissue cells to the site of damage, together with the release of cytokines by these cells are essential for healing in common sports injuries. Injury to the musculotendinous unit resulting from either blunt trauma, tears or laceration, heal primarily by formation of granulation tissue and scarring. Early diagnosis with appropriate therapy may minimize any potential loss of function. Ligament repair also follows a classical healing response, although the quality of healing is site dependent and may be related to exposure to synovial fluid. In contrast, cartilage, which is avascular, lacks the inflammatory response seen in other connective tissues and this frequently results in poor tissue repair with subsequent degeneration of the injured cartilage. Mechanisms of repair in these tissues are described.

Abstract
The possibility that 2-oxoglutarate may supply acetyl units for the cytosolic synthesis of acetylcholine in rat brain synaptosomes was investigated. The contribution of [14C]2-oxoglutarate to the synaptosomal synthesis of [14C]acetylcholine was found to be negligible despite evidence for its uptake and oxidation. The activity of the enzymes NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42), aconitate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.3), and ATP citrate-lyase (EC 4.1.3.8) were measured in the synaptosol. NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase and aconitate hydratase are present at three- to 1.5-fold higher activities than ATP citrate-lyase. It seems likely that these enzymes contribute to the metabolism of citrate and prevent detectable formation of cytosolic acetyl-CoA from exogenously added 2-oxoglutarate (or citrate). The data further suggest that ATP citrate-lyase may in part be associated with the mitochondrial fraction.

Abstract
1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) was taken up into human and rat striatal synaptosomes by a saturable system, similar to that for dopamine, with Km values of 0.24 and 0.17 microM, respectively, and similar Vmax values. Uptake of MPP+ and dopamine into both rat and human synaptosomes was inhibited by cocaine and amfonelic acid, with the latter being five to 10 times more potent than the former. MPP+ uptake was potently inhibited by dopamine in preparations from both species. In general, the characteristics of human and rat synaptosomal MPP+ uptake were very similar It seems unlikely that species differences in toxicity to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine or reaction to dopamine uptake blockers stem from this system.

Abstract
This study describes the histochemical localisation of monoamine oxidase (MAO) in marmoset brain. No MAO A staining was observed but MAO B was found in many areas, with medium intensity of staining in the substantia nigra, and high intensity staining in the striatum and nucleus accumbens, among other regions. The high activity in the nigrostriatal tract, compared with the rat, may partially explain the greater sensitivity of the marmoset to MPTP toxicity. As in the rat, high activity was present in the raphe nuclei. However, unlike the rat, no enrichment of MAO B was observed in blood vessels or ventricular linings.

Abstract
The histochemical distribution of monoamine oxidase A and B in rat brain was investigated using a coupled peroxidatic technique with benzylamine and tyramine as substrates and clorgyline and (-)-deprenyl as selective inhibitors. Benzylamine oxidase was absent in all areas. Both forms of monoamine oxidase were present, at low levels, in all areas; in addition several regions showed high activity of one or other form or both. Substantial activity of monoamine oxidase B was identified in the pineal gland, the lining of the ventricles, several hypothalamic regions, and the raphe nuclei. The locus coeruleus and interpeduncular nucleus possessed considerable type A activity. The substantia nigra and striatum showed no staining above the low general level, although the ventral tegmental area showed higher levels of both A and B. In general, noradrenaline-containing neuronal cell body areas showed monoamine oxidase A, and 5-hydroxytryptamine-rich areas monoamine oxidase B. There was no consistent enrichment of either in corresponding dopamine-rich regions. Monoamine oxidase thus appears to have a different role in these three types of neuron. The low level of monoamine oxidase B in the nigrostriatal tract may help to explain the resistance of the rat to MPTP toxicity.

Abstract
1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is oxidised to a neurotoxic metabolite by monoamine oxidase B (MAO B). Using two colorimetric assays, we have examined a range of its structural analogues as possible further substrates of this enzyme in order to identify the types of environmental or endogenous compounds that might also be neurotoxic. Compounds with fully saturated or unsaturated pyridine rings were not substrates; nor were a range of tetrahydro-beta-carbolines or isoquinolines. Four substrates for MAO were found, 1-methyl-4-(2'-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (2'-Me-MPTP), 4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (PTP), 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (Cl-PTP) and ethyl-1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridine-carboxylate (ethyl-MTP-carboxylate). Ethyl-MTP-carboxylate is of particular interest as it shows that a tetrahydropyridine without a phenyl ring can also be a substrate. Cl-PTP, PTP and ethyl-MTP-carboxylate appeared to be partially metabolised by MAO A. The inhibitor sensitivity of 2'-Me-MPTP oxidation was more complex.

Abstract
Acetylcholine and choline release was measured by using an automated and modified version of the chemiluminescence technique of Israel & Lesbats [(1981) Neurochem. Int. 3, 81-90]. A comparison of acetylcholine and choline release from synaptosomes demonstrated that acetylcholine release was K+-stimulated and inhibited by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and cyanide. Choline release, however, did not vary markedly under different conditions, suggesting that it is not associated with acetylcholine release at the nerve ending. Total acetylcholine synthesis in synaptosomal preparations was measured concurrently with the incorporation of [14C]acetyl and [3H]choline moieties by using the chemiluminescence method. Under sub-optimal glucose concentrations or in the absence of treatment of the synaptosomes with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor phospholine, the incorporation of radioactivity exceeded total synthesis, indicating that cycling between acetylcholine and its precursors may occur. After treatment with phospholine, acetyl-group incorporation from D-[U-14C]glucose occurred without dilution of the precursor at optimal (1.0 mM) and low (0.1 mM) glucose concentrations; however, at very low (0.01 mM) glucose concentrations, dilution by a small endogenous pool occurred. [14C]Acetyl incorporation into acetylcholine was compared with various metabolic parameters. A closer correlation was observed between [14C]acetyl-group incorporation into acetylcholine and the calculated acetyl-carrier efflux from the mitochondria than with the calculated pyruvate-dehydrogenase-complex flux. The results are discussed with respect to the regulation of acetylcholine concentrations at the synapse and the mechanism whereby turnover occurs.

Abstract
The photodecomposition of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in aqueous and 5% glucose solutions results in the accumulation of cyanide and ferricyanide ions. Methods for the determination of these ions in such solutions have been devised. The continuous-flow method for cyanide involved the generation of cyanogen chloride, ClCN, by oxidation with chloramine T and subsequent reaction of the ClCN with barbituric acid and pyridine to produce a chromophore measurable by spectrophotometry at 580 nm. This cyanide method had a detection limit and sensitivity of 10-12 mumol/L and 1.40 X 10(-3) absorbance units (AU)/mumol/L, respectively, with a working concentration range of 0-800 mumol/L. This method employed mild reaction conditions, pH = 4.1, which rendered it suitable for use in time-course studies of cyanide production from SNP solutions exposed to 366 nm UV light. A simple method for the determination of ferricyanide in SNP solutions was developed which involved the addition of a 1% FeSO4 X 7 H2O in 1% H2SO4 reagent to the SNP solutions under test followed by spectrophotometry at 750 nm. The detection limit and sensitivity of the method were 2-3 mumol/L and 4.05 X 10(-3) AU/mumol/L, respectively, with a working concentration range of 0-100 mumol/L. This method was considered suitable for use as a quality control test of SNP solutions close to the site of their clinical use.

Abstract
A rebound in growth hormone secretion following somatostatin treatment has been shown in several systems where somatostatin suppresses secretion of the hormone. We have developed an in vitro system in which isolated and cultured pituitary cells were perfused after mild trypsinization. After washing, these cells retained their sensitivity and secreted growth hormone (GH) in response to physiological activators (norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin) or inhibitors (somatostatin) as well as pharmacological activators (PGE2). The variation in GH secretion occurred within a minute after commencement of the infusion and was as rapidly reversible and repeatable minutes later. During somatostatin infusion the GH secretion was not totally suppressed (residual secretion (mean +/- S.D.) 34 +/- 7%). After the infusion a rapid rebound in GH secretion occurred, reaching levels in excess of the pretreatment value of 138 +/- 13%. This rebound effect occurred at doses higher than (10(-10)M) but not at lower doses, even when significant inhibition was observed. The inhibitory effect is of greater magnitude than the rebound effect (rebound = inhibition X 57 +/- 7% (mean +/- S.D.)). Furthermore, rebound was not enhanced by prolongation of somatostatin infusion. These latter results indicate that the rebound in secretion cannot be explained on the sole basis of storage of intracellular GH during somatostatin infusion and in fact suggest the involvement of a process of GH degradation and/or an inhibition of GH synthesis.

Abstract
Steroids have no positive influence upon pulmonary related morbidity and mortality following combined smoke inhalation and thermal cutaneous injury (3, 4). Steroid administration following isolated smoke inhalation without concomitant thermal cutaneous injury has, however, been shown to have beneficial effects in previous animal studies (1). This potential therapeutic approach to treatment has not been examined in the clinical setting. Recent hotel fires in Las Vegas, Nevada, resulted in a large cohort of individuals with similar smoke exposures without associated injuries. Two of four hospitals in the triage system administered steroids following injury. Patients were divided into two groups, a steroid-treated, and a non-treated group. These groups were compared using multivariate and frequency analyses. There were no detectable differences in sex, signs, symptoms, and previous medical history. There were likewise no differences between groups with respect to oxyhemoglobin saturation, arterial oxygen tension, arterial pH, and pulmonary-related morbidity and mortality. These data suggest that steroid coverage has little beneficial effect upon pulmonary-related morbidity and mortality following isolated smoke inhalation injury.
