Abstract
Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a common and potentially severe complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation. TA-TMA-directed therapy with eculizumab, a complement C5 inhibitor, has resulted in a survival benefit in some studies. However, children with TA-TMA refractory to C5 inhibition with eculizumab (rTA-TMA) have mortality rates exceeding 80%, and there are no other known therapies. Narsoplimab, an inhibitor of the MASP-2 effector enzyme of the lectin pathway, has been studied in adults with TA-TMA as first-line therapy with a response rate of 61%. Although there are limited data on narsoplimab use as a second-line agent in children, we hypothesized, that complement pathways proximal to C5 are activated in rTA-TMA, and that narsoplimab may ameliorate rTA-TMA in children. In this single-center study, children were enrolled on single-patient, Institutional Review Board-approved compassionate use protocols for narsoplimab treatment. Clinical complement lab tests were obtained at the discretion of the treating physician, although all patients were also offered participation in a companion biomarker study. Research blood samples were obtained at the time of TA-TMA diagnosis, prior to eculizumab treatment, at the time of refractory TA-TMA diagnosis prior to the first narsoplimab dose, and 2 weeks after the first narsoplimab dose. Single ELISA kits were used to measure markers of complement activation according to the manufacture's instructions. Five children with rTA-TMA received narsoplimab; 3 were in multiorgan failure and 2 had worsening multiorgan dysfunction at the time of treatment. Additional comorbidities at the time of treatment included sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS; n = 3), viral infection (n = 3), and steroid-refractory stage 4 lower gut grade IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD, n = 3). Two infants with concurrent SOS and no aGVHD had resolution of organ dysfunction; 1 also developed transfusion-independence (complete response), and the other's hematologic response was not assessable in the setting of leukemia and chemotherapy (partial response). One additional patient achieved transfusion independence but had no improvement in organ manifestations (partial response), and 2 patients treated late in the course of disease had no response. Narsoplimab was well tolerated without any attributed adverse effects. Three patients consented to provide additional research blood samples. One patient with resolution of organ failure demonstrated evidence of proximal pathway activation prior to narsoplimab treatment with subsequent declines in Ba, Bb, C3a, and C5a and increases in C3 in both clinical and research lab tests. Otherwise, there was no clear pattern of other complement markers, including MASP-2 levels, after therapy. In this cohort of ill children with rTA-TMA and multiple comorbidities, 3 patients benefited from narsoplimab. Notably, the 2 patients with resolution of organ involvement did not have steroid-refractory aGVHD, which is thought to be a critical driver of TA-TMA. Additional studies are needed to determine which patients are most likely to benefit from narsoplimab and which markers may be most helpful for monitoring lectin pathway activation and inhibition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the association between maternal use of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FAs) supplements during pregnancy and risk of islet autoimmunity (IA) in the offspring. METHODS The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study is prospectively following 8676 children with increased genetic risk for type 1 diabetes in Finland, Germany, Sweden, and the United States. Blood samples were collected every 3 months between 3 and 48 months of age then every 6 months thereafter to determine persistent IA. Duration, frequency, and supplement dose during pregnancy were recalled by mothers at 3 to 4 months postpartum. Cumulative intakes of supplemental vitamin D and n-3 FAs were analyzed as continuous or binary variables. We applied time-to-event analysis to study the association between maternal supplement use and IA, adjusting for country, human leukocyte antigen-DR-DQ genotype, family history of type 1 diabetes and sex. Secondary outcomes included insulin autoantibodies (IAA) or glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA) as the first appearing autoantibody. RESULTS As of February 2018, there were 747 (9.0%) children with IA. Vitamin D supplement intake during pregnancy (any vs none) was not associated with risk for IA (hazard ratio [HR] 1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.94, 1.31); neither was cumulative vitamin D supplement intake. Supplemental n-3 FA intake was similarly not associated with IA risk (HR: 1.19, 95% CI 0.98, 1.45). Similar lack of association was observed for either IAA or GADA as the first appearing autoantibody. CONCLUSIONS The TEDDY cohort showed no evidence of benefit regarding IA risk for vitamin D or n-3 FA supplementation during pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-compliance with food record submission can induce bias in nutritional epidemiological analysis and make it difficult to draw inference from study findings. We examined the impact of demographic, lifestyle and psychosocial factors on such non-compliance during the first 3 years of participation in a multidisciplinary prospective paediatric study. DESIGN The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study collects a 3 d food record quarterly during the first year of life and semi-annually thereafter. High compliance with food record completion was defined as the participating families submitting one or more days of food record at every scheduled clinic visit. SETTING Three centres in the USA (Colorado, Georgia/Florida and Washington) and three in Europe (Finland, Germany and Sweden). SUBJECTS Families who finished the first 3 years of TEDDY participation (n 8096). RESULTS High compliance was associated with having a single child, older maternal age, higher maternal education and father responding to study questionnaires. Families showing poor compliance were more likely to be living far from the study centres, from ethnic minority groups, living in a crowded household and not attending clinic visits regularly. Postpartum depression, maternal smoking behaviour and mother working outside the home were also independently associated with poor compliance. CONCLUSIONS These findings identified specific groups for targeted strategies to encourage completion of food records, thereby reducing potential bias in multidisciplinary collaborative research.

Abstract
The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young Study (TEDDY) aims at examining the associations between islet autoimmunity and various environmental exposures, (e.g. diet) in Finland, Germany, Sweden and the United States (US). In order to produce comparable results from dietary assessments, the national food composition databases (FCDB) must contain mutually comparable food composition data. Systematic comparison (definition, unit of measurement, and method of analysis) of energy, protein, fats, carbohydrates, cholesterol, fiber, 13 vitamins, and 8 minerals was carried out among the FCDB of the four countries. Total fat, cholesterol, vitamin A: retinol equivalents and beta-carotene, thiamin, riboflavin, pyridoxine, vitamin B(12), calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, and zinc are comparable across all four databases. Carbohydrates, fiber, sugars, fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin E: alpha-tocopherol, vitamin K, vitamin C, pantothenic acid, niacin, manganese, and copper are comparable or can be converted comparable at least across three of the databases. Vitamin E: alpha-tocopherol equivalents, will be comparable across all databases after Finland and Germany subtract tocotrienols from their values. Nitrogen values were added to the Swedish and US databases. After recalculation of protein from nitrogen (Sweden and US), and subtraction of fiber from the total carbohydrate (Finland) followed by recalculations of energy, these values will be comparable across the countries. Starch and folate are not comparable.
