Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhythmic joint mobilizations (RJM) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are employed to relieve pain and improve function in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). However, the evidence on the immediate effects of RJM in patients with TMD is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the immediate clinical and functional effects of RJM in patients with TMD. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a one-group quasi-experimental before and after study. Thirty-eight patients with TMD were assessed by means of pain intensity (visual analogue score, VAS), pressure pain threshold (PPT, measured through pressure algometry on the masseter and temporal muscles), mouth opening (MO, measured with a ruler), and surface electromyographic activity of the masseter and temporal muscles (asymmetry index, AI). Measurements were performed before and after a single, 1-min session of RJM of each TMJ. All statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS version 20.0 statistical package. RESULTS A statistical significant difference was found in pain intensity, PPT and MO after the intervention (p < 0.05). No difference was found in the AI. A large effect size was observed for pain intensity, PPT of the left and right masseter muscles and MO (d = 0.85-1.13), whereas for the left and right temporal muscles the effect size was moderate (d = 0.62) and small, respectively (d = 0.49). CONCLUSION In this sample of patients with TMD, a single session of RJM of the TMJ seemed to be effective in reducing pain intensity, increasing PPT and improving MO immediately after the intervention, without differences in the AI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Low-Dose Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (ATG) Preserves β-Cell Function and Improves HbA 1c in New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2018; 41:1917-1925.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A pilot study suggested that combination therapy with low-dose anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and pegylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) preserves C-peptide in established type 1 diabetes (T1D) (duration 4 months to 2 years). We hypothesized that 1) low-dose ATG/GCSF or 2) low-dose ATG alone would slow the decline of β-cell function in patients with new-onset T1D (duration <100 days). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A three-arm, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial was performed by the Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet Study Group in 89 subjects: 29 subjects randomized to ATG (2.5 mg/kg intravenously) followed by pegylated GCSF (6 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks for 6 doses), 29 to ATG alone (2.5 mg/kg), and 31 to placebo. The primary end point was mean area under the curve (AUC) C-peptide during a 2-h mixed-meal tolerance test 1 year after initiation of therapy. Significance was defined as one-sided P value < 0.025. RESULTS The 1-year mean AUC C-peptide was significantly higher in subjects treated with ATG (0.646 nmol/L) versus placebo (0.406 nmol/L) (P = 0.0003) but not in those treated with ATG/GCSF (0.528 nmol/L) versus placebo (P = 0.031). HbA1c was significantly reduced at 1 year in subjects treated with ATG and ATG/GCSF, P = 0.002 and 0.011, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Low-dose ATG slowed decline of C-peptide and reduced HbA1c in new-onset T1D. Addition of GCSF did not enhance C-peptide preservation afforded by low-dose ATG. Future studies should be considered to determine whether low-dose ATG alone or in combination with other agents may prevent or delay the onset of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
Intolerance to smell is often reported by migraine patients. This study evaluates osmophobia in connection with the diagnosis of migraine and episodic tension-type headache (ETTH). The characteristics of this symptom are also investigated. We recruited from our Headache Centre 1005 patients (772 female, 233 male; age 37 ± 11 years), of whom 677 were migraine without aura (MoA), 130 migraine with aura (MA) and 198 TTH. Patients with two or more forms of primary headache were excluded. Among migraine patients, 43.9% with MoA and 38.5% with MA reported osmophobia during the attacks; none of the 198 TTH patients suffered this symptom. Most frequently offending odours were scents (63.9%), food (55.2%) and cigarette smoke (54.8%). Osmophobia appears structurally integrated into the migraine history of the patient. It seems to be a peculiar symptom favouring the diagnosis of migraine (MoA and MA) in the differential diagnosis with ETTH.

Abstract
Despite HLA allele matching, significant acute GvHD remains a major barrier to successful unrelated donor BMT. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify recipient and donor genes associated with the risk of acute GvHD. A case-control design (grade III-IV versus no acute GvHD) and pooled GWA approach was used to study European-American recipients with hematological malignancies who received myeloablative conditioning non-T-cell-depleted first transplantation from HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1 allele level (10/10) matched unrelated donors. DNA samples were divided into three pools and tested in triplicate using the Affymetrix Genome-wide SNP Array 6.0. We identified three novel susceptibility loci in the HLA-DP region of recipient genomes that were associated with III-IV acute GvHD (rs9277378, P=1.58E-09; rs9277542, P=1.548E-06 and rs9277341, P=7.718E-05). Of these three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs9277378 and rs9277542 are located in non-coding regions of the HLA-DPB1 gene and the two are in strong linkage disequilibrium with two other published SNPs associated with acute GvHD, rs2281389 and rs9277535. Eighteen other recipient SNPs and 3 donor SNPs with a high level of significance (8E-07 or lower) were found. Our report contributes to emerging data showing clinical significance of the HLA-DP region genetic markers beyond structural matching of DPB1 alleles.

Abstract
We present a review of 22 cases of headache mimicking chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) (17 female and five male; F : M ratio 3.4), nine cases mimicking hemicrania continua (HC) (seven female and two male) and seven cases mimicking SUNCT syndrome (five male and two female) found in association with other pathologies published from 1980 up to the present. All case reports were discussed with respect to diagnostic criteria proposed by International Headache Society (IHS) for CPH, by Goadsby and Lipton for HC and SUNCT, and evaluated to identify a possible causal relationship between the pathology and the onset of headache. The aim of the present review was to evaluate if the presence of associated lesions and their location could help elucidate the pathogenesis of trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is widely used to treat thromboembolic disease, but monitoring in children is challenging. Both activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and anti-factor Xa activity (anti-Xa) are utilized, but a comparison of dosing nomograms has not been reported in pediatrics. OBJECTIVE To compare the performance of aPTT and anti-Xa for UFH monitoring in pediatric patients. DESIGN/METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients ≤ 21 years old treated with UFH at Johns Hopkins Hospital from January 2009 to May 2011. For monitoring, an aPTT nomogram was used for the initial 15 months, and an anti-Xa nomogram was used for the subsequent 12 months. Clinical characteristics, laboratory data and outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-four patients were monitored with aPTT and 26 patients with anti-Xa. There was no significant difference in median time to therapeutic range (11.6 h aPTT, 95%CI = 6.0-17.0; 9.9 h anti-Xa, 95%CI = 7.3-20.7) or per cent of patients achieving therapeutic measurements at 24 (79% aPTT, 95%CI = 62-91; 73% anti-Xa, 95%CI = 52-88) and 48 h (88% aPTT, 95%CI = 73-97; 96% anti-Xa, 95%CI = 80-100). However, anti-Xa measurements were more frequently therapeutic than aPTT (74% [95%CI = 69-78] vs. 54% [95%CI = 50-59]). Variance between anti-Xa and aPTT measurements was high (R(2) = 0.236). No significant difference was seen in bleeding incidence (9% aPTT, 95%CI = 2-24; 15% anti-Xa, 95%CI = 4-35). CONCLUSION The time to achieve therapeutic measures and bleeding outcomes were not significantly different between anti-Xa and aPTT nomograms. However, a small study size limits the power to detect clinically relevant differences. The results warrant larger prospective studies of UFH monitoring in children with thromboembolic disease.

Abstract
The generation of pigs with genetic modifications has significantly advanced the field of xenotransplantation. New genetically engineered pigs were produced on an α1,3-galactosyltransferase gene-knockout background with ubiquitous expression of human CD46, with islet beta cell-specific expression of human tissue factor pathway inhibitor and/or human CD39 and/or porcine CTLA4-lg. Isolated islets from pigs with 3, 4 or 5 genetic modifications were transplanted intraportally into streptozotocin-diabetic, immunosuppressed cynomolgus monkeys (n = 5). Immunosuppression was based on anti-CD154 mAb costimulation blockade. Monitoring included features of early islet destruction, glycemia, exogenous insulin requirement and histopathology of the islets at necropsy. Using these modified pig islets, there was evidence of reduced islet destruction in the first hours after transplantation, compared with two series of historical controls that received identical therapy but were transplanted with islets from pigs with either no or only one genetic modification. Despite encouraging effects on early islet loss, these multi-transgenic islet grafts did not demonstrate consistency in regard to long-term success, with only two of five demonstrating function beyond 5 months.

Abstract
While much is known about tolerogenic dendritic cell effects on forkhead box protein 3 (FoxP3)⁺ regulatory T cells, virtually nothing is known about their effects on another arm of immunoregulation that is mediated by a subpopulation of immunosuppressive B cells. These cells suppress rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and inflammatory bowel disease in mice, and functional defects have been reported in human lupus. We show that co-stimulation-impaired tolerogenic dendritic cells that prevent and reverse type 1 diabetes mellitus induce the proliferation of human immunosuppressive B cells in vitro. We also show that the suppressive properties of these B cells concentrate inside the CD19⁺ CD24⁺ B cell population and more specifically inside the CD19⁺ CD24⁺ CD38⁺ regulatory B cell population. We discovered that B cell conversion into suppressive cells in vitro is partially dependent on dendritic cell production of retinoic acid and also that CD19⁺ CD24⁺ CD38⁺ B regulatory cells express retinoic acid receptors. Taken together, our data suggest a model whereby part of the immunosuppressive properties of human tolerogenic dendritic cells could be mediated by retinoic acid which, in addition to its known role in favouring T cell differentiation to FoxP3⁺ regulatory T cells, acts to convert B cells into immunosuppressive cells.

Abstract
As a result of less than optimal outcomes the use of islet allografts as a standard insulin replacement therapy is limited to adults with a history of extreme glucose dysregulation and hypoglycemia unawareness. In this study, we examined the use of prophylactic immunotherapy to prevent islet allograft rejection in the absence of antirejection drugs. Our protocol to achieve allograft acceptance used a negative vaccination strategy that is comprised of apoptotic donor cells delivered in Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA) 1 week prior to islet transplantation. The goal of this new protocol is to elicit hyporesponsiveness to alloantigen prior to islet transplantation. First, we examined our protocol without islet allograft transplants and determined that the negative vaccination was not globally immunosuppressive or immunostimulatory. Islet allograft experiments using fully MHC-mismatched islet donors and recipients demonstrated that the negative vaccination strategy induced long-term islet allograft acceptance. Upon rechallenge with alloantigen, the negative vaccination protocol successfully achieved hyporesponsiveness. In addition, the microenvironment at the site of the tolerant allograft revealed a decrease in proinflammatory mediators (IFN-γ, TNF-α) and an increase in the anti-inflammatory mediator IL-10, as well as increased expression of the master regulator of T-regulatory cells, FOXP3. Our data suggest that pretreating allograft recipients with apoptotic donor alloantigen delivered in IFA induced long-term islet allograft acceptance and glycemic control by introducing alloantigen to the recipient immune system in a nonimmunostimulatory manner prior to transplant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy (TP) with auto-islet transplant (AIT) is an extreme treatment for chronic pancreatitis, and we reviewed our experience to assess the impact on quality of life (QOL). METHODS A prospective cohort study from 2007 through 2010 with pre- and postoperative assessments of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Pain Disability Index, and visual analogue pain scale was performed. RESULTS Twenty patients underwent TP-AIT with a median follow-up of 12 months (6.75-24 months). All patients reported moderate (45 %) to severe (55 %) pain prior to surgery. TP-AIT resulted in significant decreases in abdominal pain (p < 0.001), 80 % reporting no or mild pain. Despite pain improvement, only 30 % discontinued narcotics. Improvements in all PDI QOL domains improved from 79 to 90 % (p = 0.002), with greatest improvements seen in those without prior pancreatic surgery, younger patients, and in those with higher levels of preoperative pain. Patients were less affected by depression and anxiety prior to surgery, but 60 and 70 % did show improvement in depression and anxiety, respectively (p = 0.033). Sixteen patients (80 %) required exogenous insulin at last follow-up (mean total dose of insulin 11.6 U/day). CONCLUSIONS TP-AIT significantly improves pain and QOL measures in appropriately selected patients with CP.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during hyperglycaemia are implicated in the development of diabetic vascular complications. High glucose increases oxidative stress in endothelial cells and induces apoptosis. A major source of ROS in endothelial cells exposed to glucose is the NAD(P)H oxidase enzyme. Several studies demonstrated that C-peptide, the product of proinsulin cleavage within the pancreatic beta cells, displays anti-inflammatory effects in certain models of vascular dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this effect is unclear. We hypothesised that C-peptide reduces glucose-induced ROS generation by decreasing NAD(P)H oxidase activation and prevents apoptosis METHODS Human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) were exposed to 25 mmol/l glucose in the presence or absence of C-peptide and tested for protein quantity and activity of caspase-3 and other apoptosis markers by ELISA, TUNEL and immunoblotting. Intracellular ROS were measured by flow cytometry using the ROS sensitive dye chloromethyl-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (CM-H(2)-DCDFA). NAD(P)H oxidase activation was assayed by lucigenin. Membrane and cytoplasmic levels of the NAD(P)H subunit ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (rho family, small GTP binding protein Rac1) (RAC-1) and its GTPase activity were studied by immunoblotting and ELISA. RAC-1 (also known as RAC1) gene expression was investigated by quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS C-peptide significantly decreased caspase-3 levels and activity and upregulated production of the anti-apoptotic factor B cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL-2). Glucose-induced ROS production was quenched by C-peptide and this was associated with a decreased NAD(P)H oxidase activity and reduced RAC-1 membrane production and GTPase activity. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION In glucose-exposed endothelial cells, C-peptide acts as an endogenous antioxidant molecule by reducing RAC-1 translocation to membrane and NAD(P)H oxidase activation. By preventing oxidative stress, C-peptide protects endothelial cells from glucose-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
We have identified a novel interleukin (IL)-7-responsive T cell population [forkhead box P3 (FoxP3(+) ) CD4(+) CD25(+) CD127(+) ] that is comparably functionally suppressive to conventional FoxP3(+) CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T cells (T(regs) ). Although IL-2 is the most critical cytokine for thymic development of FoxP3(+) T(regs) , in the periphery other cytokines can be compensatory. CD25(+) CD127(+) T cells treated with IL-7 phenotypically 'matured' into the known 'classical' FoxP3(+) CD4(+) CD25(high) CD127(-) FoxP3(+) T(regs) . In freshly isolated splenocytes, the highest level of FoxP3 expression was found in CD127(+) CD25(+) T cells when compared with CD127(-) CD25(+) or CD127(+) CD25(-) cells. IL-7 treatment of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells induced an increase in the accumulation of FoxP3 in the nucleus in vitro. IL-7-mediated CD25 cell surface up-regulation was accompanied by a concurrent down-regulation of CD127 in vitro. IL-7 treatment of the CD127(+) CD25(+) FoxP3(+) cells also resulted in up-regulation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 without any changes in CD45RA at the cell surface. Collectively, these data support emerging evidence that FoxP3(+) T cells expressing CD127 are comparably functionally suppressive to CD25(+) CD127(-) FoxP3(+) T cells. This IL-7-sensitive regulation of FoxP3(+) T(reg) phenotype could underlie one peripheral non-IL-2-dependent compensatory mechanism of T(reg) survival and functional activity, particularly for adaptive T(regs) in the control of autoimmunity or suppression of activated effector T cells.

Abstract
As the target CD52 molecule is expressed on erythrocytes of most nonhuman primate strains, using alemtuzumab in these species would cause massive hemolysis. Six cynomolgus monkeys of Indonesian origin, screened by agglutination assay for absence of CD52 on erythrocytes, were administered alemtuzumab in a cumulative dose to a maximum of 60 mg/kg. In two monkeys, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was added as maintenance therapy. Complete depletion of T and B lymphocytes (>99.5%) was achieved with 20 mg/kg alemtuzumab and was more profound than in monkeys treated with antithymocyte globulin (n = 5), as quantified by flow cytometry. Repopulation was suppressed by weekly injections of 10 mg/kg. Without MMF, repopulation of CD20(+)B cells and CD8(+)T cells was complete within 2 and 3 months, respectively, and repopulation of CD4(+)T cells was 67% after 1 year. MMF significantly delayed CD4(+)T-cell repopulation. Among repopulating CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, a phenotypic shift was observed from CD45RA(hi)CD62L(hi) naïve cells toward CD45RA(lo)CD62L(lo) effector memory cells. In lymph nodes, the depletion of naïve cells was more profound than of memory cells, which may have initiated a proliferation of memory cells. This model offers opportunities to investigate lymphocyte depletion/repopulation phenomena, as well as the efficacy of alemtuzumab in preclinical transplantation models.

Abstract
Among the primary headaches, cluster headache (CH) presents very particular features allowing a relatively easy diagnosis based on criteria listed in Chapter 3 of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II). However, as in all primary headaches, possible underlying causal conditions must be excluded to rule out a secondary cluster-like headache (CLH). The observation of some cases with clinical features mimicking primary CH, but of secondary origin, led us to perform an extended review of CLH reports in the literature. We identified 156 CLH cases published from 1975 to 2008. The more frequent pathologies in association with CLH were the vascular ones (38.5%, n = 57), followed by tumours (25.7%, n = 38) and inflammatory infectious diseases (13.5%, n = 20). Eighty were excluded from further analysis, because of inadequate information. The remaining 76 were divided into two groups: those that satisfied the ICHD-II diagnostic criteria for CH, 'fulfilling' group (F), n = 38; and those with a symptomatology in disagreement with one or more ICHD-II criteria, 'not fulfilling' group (NF), n = 38. Among the aims of this study was the possible identification of clinical features leading to the suspicion of a symptomatic origin. In the differential diagnosis with CH, red flags resulted both for F and NF, older age at onset; for NF, abnormal neurological/general examination (73.6%), duration (34.2%), frequency (15.8%) and localization (10.5%) of the attacks. We stress the fact that, on first observation, 50% of CLH presented as F cases, perfectly mimicking CH. Therefore, the importance of accurate, clinical evaluation and of neuroimaging cannot be overestimated.

Abstract
Xenotransplantation of porcine islets into diabetic non-human primates is characterized by (i) an initial massive graft loss possibly due to the instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction and (ii) the requirement of intensive, clinically unfriendly immunosuppressive therapy. We investigated whether the transgenic expression of a human complement-regulatory protein (hCD46) on porcine islets would improve the outcome of islet xenotransplantation in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Cynomolgus monkeys. Immunosuppression consisted of thymoglobulin, anti-CD154 mAb for costimulation blockade, and mycophenolate mofetil. Following the transplantation of islets from wild-type pigs (n = 2) or from 1,3-galactosyltransferase gene-knockout pigs (n = 2), islets survived for a maximum of only 46 days, as evidenced by return to hyperglycemia and the need for exogenous insulin therapy. The transplantation of islets from hCD46 pigs resulted in graft survival and insulin-independent normoglycemia in four of five monkeys for the 3 months follow-up of the experiment. One normalized recipient, selected at random, was followed for >12 months. Inhibition of complement activation by the expression of hCD46 on the pig islets did not substantially reduce the initial loss of islet mass, rather was effective in limiting antibody-mediated rejection. This resulted in a reduced need for immunosuppression to preserve a sufficient islet mass to maintain normoglycemia long-term.

Abstract
The results of transplantation of human donor islets into the portal vein (PV) in patients with diabetes are encouraging. However, there are complications, for example, hemorrhage, thrombosis and an immediate loss of islets through the 'instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction' (IBMIR). The gastric submucosal space (GSMS) offers potential advantages. Islets were isolated from adult pigs. Recipient pigs were made diabetic by streptozotocin. Donor islets were injected into the GSMS through a laparotomy (Group 1A, n = 4) or endoscopically (Group 1B, n = 8) or into the PV through a laparotomy (Group 2, n = 3). The pigs were followed for a maximum of 28 days. Monitoring of C-peptide in Group 1 indicated that there was minimal immediate loss of islets whereas in Group 2 there was considerable loss from IBMIR. In Group 1, there were significant reductions in mean blood glucose and mean exogenous insulin requirement between pretransplantation and 20 days posttransplantation. In Group 2, there was no significant reduction in either parameter. Insulin-positive cells were seen in the GSMS in Group 1, but not in the liver in Group 2. Endoscopic gastric submucosal transplantation of islets (ENDO-STI) offers a minimally invasive and quick approach to islet transplantation, avoids IBMIR and warrants further exploration.

Abstract
A sample of 492 full heritage, unrelated residents of the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) of Arizona were characterized for their high-resolution DNA alleles at the HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, DQA1, and DQB1 loci. Only five allelic categories are found at HLA-A, 10 at HLA-B, 8 at HLA-C and HLA-DR, and 4 at DQA1 and DQB1. There is little evidence for population structure at the 6 loci. Two 'private' alleles, B*5102 and B*4005, which are found nearly exclusively in American Indian populations in the desert southwest and northern Mexico, are likely new mutations after the first inhabitation of the area, the evolution of which are reflected in the contemporary distribution of their respective haplotypes. DRB1*1402 has the highest reported frequency of any specificity at the DRB1 locus, 0.7461, and serves as a sensitive probe for locating related east Asian populations. The haplotypes in this population also exhibit a highly restricted distribution and strong genetic disequilibria, which has important implications for matching solid organ and bone marrow allografts. It is shown that, when one considers HLA-A-B-DRB1 homozygotes as allograft donors for all full heritage members of the GRIC, 50% of the community would find a non-mismatched organ within the homozygotes for the six most common haplotypes. This raises questions about transplantation policy and whether, in the presence of high-frequency private alleles and a restricted number of haplotypes, the full heritage American Indian community of the desert southwest should act as its own pool of donors for its affected members.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS There is increasing evidence that C-peptide exerts intracellular effects in a variety of cells and could be beneficial in patients with type 1 diabetes. Exactly how C-peptide achieves these effects, however, is unknown. Recent reports showed that C-peptide internalised in the cytoplasm of HEK-293 and Swiss 3T3 cells, where it was not degraded for at least 1 h after uptake. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that C-peptide is internalised via an endocytic pathway and traffics to classic endocytic organelles, such as endosomes and lysosomes. METHODS We studied the internalisation of C-peptide in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells, two relevant targets of C-peptide activity, by using Alexa Fluor-labelled C-peptide probes in living cells and immunohistochemistry employing confocal laser-scanning microscopy. To examine trafficking to subcellular compartments, we used fluorescent constructs tagged to RAB5A, member RAS oncogene family (RAB5A) to identify early endosomes, or to lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) to identify lysosomes. RESULTS C-peptide internalised in the cytoplasm of cells within punctate structures identified as early endosomes. Internalisation was clearly detectable after 10 min of incubation and was blocked at 4 degrees C as well as with excess of unlabelled C-peptide. A minor fraction of vesicles, which increased with culture time, co-localised with lysosomes. Uptake of C-peptide was reduced by monodansylcadaverine, a pharmacological compound that blocks clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and by nocodazole, which disrupts microtubule assembly. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION C-peptide internalises in the cytoplasm of cells by endocytosis, as demonstrated by its localisation in early endosomes. Endosomes might represent a signalling station, through which C-peptide might achieve its cellular effects.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS To develop and validate a new immunodeficient mouse strain that spontaneously develops a non-autoimmune hyperglycaemia to serve as a diabetic host for human islets and human beta stem and progenitor cells without the need for induction of hyperglycaemia by toxic chemicals with their associated side effects. METHODS We generated and characterised a new strain of immunodeficient spontaneously hyperglycaemic mice, the NOD-Rag1null Prf1null Ins2Akita strain and compared this strain with the NOD-scid Il2rgammanull (also known as Il2rg) immunodeficient strain rendered hyperglycaemic by administration of a single dose of streptozotocin. Hyperglycaemic mice were transplanted with human islets ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 islet equivalents (IEQ) and were monitored for normalisation of blood glucose levels. RESULTS NOD-Rag1null Prf1null Ins2Akita mice developed spontaneous hyperglycaemia, similar to Ins2Akita-harbouring strains of immunocompetent mice. Histological examination of islets in the host pancreas validated the spontaneous loss of beta cell mass in the absence of mononuclear cell infiltration. Human islets transplanted into spontaneously diabetic NOD-Rag1null Prf1null Ins2Akita and chemically diabetic NOD-scid Il2rgammanull mice resulted in a return to euglycaemia that occurred with transplantation of similar beta cell masses. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The NOD-Rag1null Prf1null Ins2Akita mouse is the first immunodeficient, spontaneously hyperglycaemic mouse strain described that is based on the Ins2Akita mutation. This strain is suitable as hosts for human islet and human beta stem and progenitor cell transplantation in the absence of the need for pharmacological induction of diabetes. This strain of mice also has low levels of innate immunity and can be engrafted with a human immune system for the study of human islet allograft rejection.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Endothelial dysfunction in diabetes is predominantly caused by hyperglycaemia leading to vascular complications through overproduction of oxidative stress and activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). Many studies have suggested that decreased circulating levels of C-peptide may play a role in diabetic vascular dysfunction. To date, the possible effects of C-peptide on endothelial cells and intracellular signalling pathways are largely unknown. We therefore investigated the effect of C-peptide on several biochemical markers of endothelial dysfunction in vitro. To gain insights into potential intracellular signalling pathways affected by C-peptide, we tested NF-kappaB activation, since it is known that inflammation, secondary to oxidative stress, is a key component of vascular complications and NF-kappaB is a redox-dependent transcription factor. METHODS Human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) were exposed to 25 mmol/l glucose in the presence of C-peptide (0.5 nmol/l) for 24 h and tested for expression of the gene encoding vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) by RT-PCR and flow cytometry. Secretion of IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was measured by ELISA. NF-kappaB activation was analysed by immunoblotting and ELISA. RESULTS Physiological concentrations of C-peptide affect high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction by: (1) decreasing VCAM-1 expression and U-937 cell adherence to HAEC; (2) reducing secretion of IL-8 and MCP-1; and (3) suppressing NF-kappaB activation. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION During hyperglycaemia, C-peptide directly affects VCAM-1 expression and both MCP-1 and IL-8 HAEC secretion by reducing NF-kappaB activation. These effects suggest a physiological anti-inflammatory (and potentially anti-atherogenic) activity of C-peptide on endothelial cells.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Attempts to use an alternative source of islets to restore glucose homeostasis in diabetic patients require preclinical islet xenotransplantation models to be tested. These models raise questions about metabolic compatibility between species and the most appropriate metabolic parameters to be used to monitor graft function. The present study investigated and compared relevant gluco-metabolic parameters in pigs, monkeys and the pig-to-monkey islet transplantation model to gain insight into the potential clinical outcome of pig-to-human islet transplantation. METHODS Basal and IVGTT-stimulated blood glucose, C-peptide, insulin and glucagon levels were assessed in non-diabetic pigs and monkeys. The same parameters were used to evaluate the performance of porcine islet xenografts in diabetic monkeys. RESULTS Non-diabetic cynomolgus monkeys showed lower levels of fasting and stimulated blood glucose but higher levels of C-peptide and insulin than non-diabetic pigs. The reported levels in humans lie between those of monkeys and pigs, and differences in metabolic parameters between pigs and humans appear to be smaller than those between pigs and cynomolgus monkeys. The transplantation data indicated that the degree of graft function (evaluated by the measurement of C-peptide levels) necessary to normalise blood glucose in the recipient was determined by the recipient levels rather than by the donor levels. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The differences between donor and recipient species may affect the transplantation outcome and need to be considered when assessing graft function in xenotransplantation models. Given the differences between monkeys and humans as potential recipients of pig islets, it should be easier to reach glucose homeostasis in pig-to-human than in pig-to-non-human primate islet xenotransplantation.

Abstract
The promising results obtained using the "Edmonton protocol" for human islet transplantation has resulted in increased interest and growth of various clinical and basic science programs worldwide. Despite these encouraging results two major drawbacks remain: first, the immunosuppressive regimen necessary to prevent the rejection of this allotransplant dramatically affects the lifestyle of the treated patients precluding its implementation in younger diabetic individuals. Second, there continues to be an inadequate amount of islet tissue available to fulfill the needs of an increasing population of diabetic patients possibly interested in receiving this type of treatment. Besides the limited number of cadaveric organ donors, the current procedure used to isolate islets from their pancreata activates metabolic processes that promote the loss of beta cells in the islets. Thus, it becomes necessary to use more than one donor for a single recipient. To fulfill the continuously growing need for more transplantable islets, an immediately available, unlimited source of islets may be found in animals, which are able to produce a type of insulin that is very similar to the human one, and carry islets in quantities that may satisfy the metabolic requirements of diabetic patients: the pigs.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The limited availability of deceased donor pancreases suitable for pancreas and islet transplantation calls for a broader utilisation of donor tissue for transplantation purposes. Young donors, representing, fortunately, a minor but significant pool of individuals, have been largely under-employed, mainly because of anatomical and functional incompatibilities with potential recipients. For islet transplantation, the isolation of pancreatic islets from young donors rarely occurs, because of technical problems. As a result of the peculiar characteristics of young donor pancreases, the standard isolation procedure does not allow efficient separation of the islets from the surrounding exocrine tissue, and favours the generation of mantled islets. Nonetheless, young donor islets offer high qualitative and clinically appealing characteristics. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We standardised a modified methodology to obtain purified and mantle-free human islets from young donors. This method principally involves efficient delivery of isolation enzyme with reduced mechanical disruption of the pancreas combined with additional filtration steps. RESULTS We were able to obtain purified and mantle-free human islets from donors as young as 6 months of age with good morphological and functional properties. The good qualitative characteristics of the islets, evidenced in vitro, were proven in vivo, as they were qualitatively superior to islets of older donors in transplantation studies. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION This study justifies the utilisation of islets derived from young donors for islet transplantation.

Abstract
Islet allotransplantation has been shown to have potential as a treatment for type 1 diabetic patients. Xenotransplantation, using the pig as a donor, offers the possibility of an unlimited number of islets. This comprehensive review focuses on experience obtained in pig-to-nonhuman primate models, particularly with regard to the different types of islets (fetal, neonatal, adult) and isolation procedures used, and the methods to determine islet viability. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods to induce diabetes (pancreatectomy, streptozotocin) are discussed. Experience in pig-to-nonhuman primate islet transplantation studies is reviewed, including discussion of the possible mechanisms of rejection and the immunosuppressive regimens used. The research carried out to date has led to workable animal models to study islet xenotransplantation, but several questions regarding methodology remain unanswered, and details of these practicalities require to be adequately addressed. The encouraging porcine islet survival reported recently provides an indicator for future immunosuppressive regimens.

Abstract
Transplantation of allogeneic pancreatic islets is an effective approach to treat type 1 diabetes. To bypass the need for systemic administration of immunosuppression drugs following transplantation, approaches to genetically modify allogeneic islets to express anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, or antiapoptotic proteins prior to transplantation are being developed. Adeno-associated viral (AAV) based vectors have been used for gene transfer to islets, but the efficiency of functional transduction is low. Recently, double-stranded (ds) or double-copy (dc) based AAV vectors have been developed that allow for more rapid and efficient AAV-mediated transgene expression following transduction. Here we demonstrate that intact human and murine islets can be transduced with dsAAV2-eGFP efficiently compared to single-stranded AAV2-eGFP. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that murine islets transduced with dsAAV2-eGFP have normal islet glucose responsiveness, viability, and islet insulin content. Transplantation of the dsAAV2-eGFP transduced islet restored normal glycemia in diabetic mice without eliciting an immune response. Significant dsAAV2-mediated eGFP expression was observed in the islet grafts for at least 6 months post-transplant. Finally, we demonstrated that dsAAV serotypes 2, 6, and 8 infect human islets efficiently. Taken together, these results suggest that dsAAV based vectors are highly appropriate for gene transfer to islets to facilitate transplantation.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D), a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease, could be attributed to many defects in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, including deficient expressions of costimulatory molecules that impair antigen presentation. Thus, this deficient antigen presentation may result in a reduced ability to induce a tolerogenic response through negative selection/regulation of autoreactive T cells. Improperly activated T cells seem to be able to induce autoimmune responses causing diabetes. To re-establish tolerance to autoantigens by modulating costimulation, we constructed and tested a new type of DNA vaccine encoding a membrane-bound preproinsulin (mbPPI) and a chimeric gene vector encoding mutant B7.1/CD40L (mB7.1/CD40L) fusion protein. This mutant B7.1 binds CTLA4 but not CD28. We report that young NOD mice immunized with mbPPI along with mB7.1/CD40L DNA vectors significantly reduced diabetes incidence while treatment with CTLA4/IgG1 exacerbated diabetes. In conclusion, the combination of mbPPI and mB7.1/CD40L was able to protect against autoimmunity and diabetes in NOD mice possibly by promoting a more efficient presentation of autoantigen PPI and inducing specific tolerance to PPI by negatively regulating autoreactive T cells.

Abstract
Islet transplantation is a viable long-term therapeutic alternative to daily insulin replacement for type I diabetes. The allogeneic nature of the transplants poses immunological challenges for routine clinical utility. Gene transfer of immunoregulatory molecules and those that improve insulin release kinetics provides rational approaches to facilitate allogeneic islet transplantation as a potential therapy. We have examined the efficacy of a soluble type 1 tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) immunoglobulin-Fc fusion transgene (TNFR-Ig) to protect human islets from cytokine-induced apoptosis in culture, as well as in facilitating allogeneic islet transplants in diabetic mice. Cultured human islets were transduced with an adenoviral vector encoding human TNFR-Ig (Ad-TNFR-Ig). TNFR-Ig protein was secreted by cultured islets, as well as by transduced mouse islet transplants recovered from mouse recipients. Glucose-induced insulin release kinetics were comparable among untransduced, Ad-TNFR-Ig-infected human islets and vector-transduced islets exposed to cytokines. In parallel, Ad-TNFR-Ig-infected islets were protected from cytokine-induced apoptosis activation. Finally, diabetic mice transplanted with allogeneic islets expressing TNFR-Ig returned to and maintained normoglycemia significantly longer than untransduced islet recipients. These data support the potential utility of TNFR-Ig gene transfer to islets as a means of facilitating allogeneic islet transplantation.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus, an autoimmune disorder is an attractive candidate for gene and cell-based therapy. From the use of gene-engineered immune cells to induce hyporesponsiveness to autoantigens to islet and beta cell surrogate transplants expressing immunoregulatory genes to provide a local pocket of immune privilege, these strategies have demonstrated proof of concept to the point where translational studies can be initiated. Nonetheless, along with the proof of concept, a number of important issues have been raised by the choice of vector and expression system as well as the point of intervention; prophylactic or therapeutic. An assessment of the current state of the science and potential leads to the conclusion that some strategies are ready for safety trials while others require varying degrees of technical and conceptual refinement.

Abstract
Circulating autoantibodies (Ab) to islet autoantigens, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD(65)), and tyrosine phosphatase ICA512/IA-2 have been proposed as predictive markers of type 1 diabetes mellitus. To ascertain residual beta-cell function and the clinical relevance for monitoring autoimmunity after clinical manifestation of disease, we studied 63 children at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (mean SD age 7.5 +/- 4 years) and 91 adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes (age 14.7 +/- 1.6 years) with a mean duration of disease of 7 +/- 3.5) years. Forty-two normal adolescent subjects (age 14.6 +/- 1.8 years) without a family history of diabetes were the control group. Anti-GAD(65) and ICA512/IA-2 Ab were assessed by a quantitative radioimmunoprecipitation assay. The relationship between humoral autoimmunity and clinical parameters was explored. GAD(65) and ICA512/IA-2 Ab were detected in 56% and 63% of newly diagnosed children and the prevalence was not different in relationship to clinical characteristics. Levels of GAD(65) Ab positively correlated with diagnosis age (P <.05). Both Ab were associated with islet cell antibodies (ICA) (P <.05), but one fifth of patients had at least 1 of the 2 Ab and absent ICA. At onset, only age showed a significant relationship to residual C-peptide secretion. Among the cohort of patients with diabetes of short-mid duration, GAD(65) and ICA512/IA-2 Ab were present in 44% and 45% of cases (P >.05 and P <.05 v newly diagnosed children, respectively) and more patients were identified by these Ab (68%) than by ICA alone (34%) (P <.05). In this cohort, levels of ICA512/IA-2 Ab negatively correlated with levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) (P <.005) and with daily insulin requirement (P <.05). Moreover, the presence of some residual C-peptide secretion was significantly associated with the presence of ICA512/IA-2 Ab (P <.05). Our findings confirm that positivity for either GAD(65) or ICA512/IA-2 Ab is a highly sensitive marker of type 1 diabetes in the pediatric age group, identifying a group of patients with absent ICA immunofluorescence. The persistence of Ab to islet tyrosine phosphatase possibly represents a marker of better glycemic control and less insulin requirement, indicating residual beta-cell function, thus conferring clinical and prognostic relevance to these Ab, as well as potential usefulness in intervention strategies.

Abstract
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) has instituted an approach to address the impact of new alleles on the DNA-based HLA assignments obtained during volunteer donor typing. This approach was applied to the DRB typing results from 371,187 donors received from 14 laboratories in 1999. Samples were tested with a standardized set of sequence specific oligonucleotide reagents and the positive and negative hybridization results transmitted electronically to the NMDP. A software program interpreted the primary data into HLA assignments and rejected assignments which did not produce a result at the specified level of resolution. Comparison of the HLA assignments derived by the NMDP software to the assignments made by the laboratories using several local software prograins showed 90.5% of the assignments to be identical. Differences in assignments were explained by varying levels of typing resolution, variation in the inclusion of the second expressed DRB loci, disparity arising when alternative assignments were summarized, and failure to submit correct information. When the primary data collected in 1999 were interpreted into HLA assignments using the set of alleles defined in July 2000, 74% of the HLA-DRB assignments were altered by the description of new alleles, justifying the development of this software.

Abstract
DNA typing of alleles of the highly polymorphic HLA-DQBI gene was performed by Pyrosequencing using purified DNA from the 11th International Histocompatibility Workshop human cell lines and samples from the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh registry of diabetics and their first-degree relatives. Pyrosequencing was optimized for genotyping exon 2 of the HLA-DQB1 gene, but the procedure should be applicable to other HLA loci. The 47 HLA-DQB1 alleles were readily identifiable, as were the 1,128 potential allelic heterozygous combinations. The method required PCR conditions that specifically amplified DQB1 but not the pseudogene, DQB2. The new method of pyrosequence-based typing can be performed in 96- or 384-well format. The 61 polymorphic residues of DQB1 exon 2 were identified within four pyrosequencing reactions, obtained by a 70-nucleotide read length in each reaction, in about an hour's time. Allelic combinations of HLA-DQB1 most frequentlyfound in the population of diabetics and their immediate family members were analyzed and successfully compared to typing of the DQB1 alleles by sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe protocols. Pyrosequence-based typing is compatible with genotyping of allelic combinations expected from heterozygous individuals, resulting in nucleotide resolution of the highly polymorphic HLA system. Using pyrosequencing, more than 750 sample wells can be processed in a working day, resulting in the identification of more than 50,000 bases.

Abstract
Although diabetes mellitus is a manageable disorder, the associated complications that result in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide necessitate novel approaches of pharmacologic, cell, and gene therapy for an eventual cure. A significant number of animal studies have demonstrated the potential of restoring normoglycemia by islet transplantation in the context of immunoregulation achieved by gene transfer of immunoregulatory genes to allo- and xenogeneic islets ex vivo. Examples include viral vector-mediated gene transfer of immunosuppressive cytokines, proteins that block co-stimulation and molecules that prevent apoptotic cell death. Additionally, gene and cell therapy has also been used to induce tolerance to auto- and alloantigens and to generate the tolerant state in autoimmune rodent animal models of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or rodent recipients of allogeneic/xenogeneic islet transplants. Gene transfer of putative autoantigens is one example. The achievements of gene and cell therapy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are less evident, but seminal studies promise that this modality can be relevant to treat and perhaps prevent the underlying causes of the disease including obesity and insulin resistance. Herein, we present an overview of the current status of drug, gene and cell therapy for T1DM and T2DM and we propose novel therapeutic options that could be clinically useful.

Abstract
The classification of diabetes mellitus into 2 main types, defined as Type 1 and 2 diabetes (T1DM, T2DM) relies mostly on the requirement of insulin therapy and on the presence of detectable immunologic abnormalities. However, this distinction is far from straightforward and there is considerable overlap between these 2 types of diabetes. Islet cell autoimmunity, which is characteristic of T1DM, appears in fact to be present in up to 10-15% of subjects diagnosed clinically with T2DM. In the UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), it was reported that in patients diagnosed with in T2DM, the presence of autoantibodies to the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies (ICA) were a predictor of insulin requirement as compared with patients not carrying these autoantibodies. These results are strikingly similar to a number of prospective studies carried out in childhood diabetes. If islet cell autoimmunity is truly present in 10-15% of subjects clinically diagnosed with T2DM, up to two million Americans might have an unidentified autoimmune form of T2DM, a prevalence similar to that of recent onset childhood diabetes. In addition, we found that in a subset of T2DM patients, a pronounced activation of the acute phase response that seems to be associated with islet cell autoimmunity. These results may in part explain the defect in insulin secretion as well as insulin resistance seen in T2DM. The identification of a subgroup of individuals at risk of developing T2DM using autoantibody as well as inflammatory markers is of public health interest, not only for the correct classification of diabetes, but also because immunomodulatory therapeutic strategies could potentially be instituted sufficiently early in a large number of patients diagnosed as having T2DM and most likely delay the onset of insulin requirement and the complications related with hyperglycemia.

Abstract
PROBLEM Normal pregnancy has been described as both a pro-inflammatory condition and a T helper (Th)2-dominated state. Deviations in the percentage of different subpopulations of circulating leukocytes have been detected, although with conflicting results. This study was designed to analyse further the phenotype of subpopulations of peripheral blood leukocytes in normal pregnant women. METHOD OF STUDY Whole-blood flow cytometry was used to differentiate subsets of leukocytes using directly labeled monoclonal antibodies to specific cell surface antigens and to a panel of activation-associated markers in 33 normal pregnant women in their third trimester and in 26 non-pregnant controls. RESULTS We found a significant increase in the proportion of granulocytes and of CD8+ T lymphocytes during pregnancy. Up-regulation of the expression of adhesion molecules was observed on granulocytes, monocytes and T lymphocytes. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy alters the representation of leukocyte subpopulations in the maternal circulation and is associated with systemic activation of leukocytes.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Most Caucasians with Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus develop an autoimmune form of diabetes known as Type IA diabetes, based on the presence of humoral responses to islet autoantigens. Alleles at the HLA locus account for the strongest susceptibility to this form of diabetes, which requires insulin therapy. Because a number of patients who develop insulin-requiring diabetes are islet autoantibody negative, the HLA class II haplotypes, DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 and DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302, were evaluated to assess whether they are an independent risk factor for progression to insulin requirement in first-degree relatives of Type I diabetic patients. METHODS Both HLA-DQ genotyping and islet cell autoantibody assessment (insulin, GAD65, IA-2 autoantibodies and cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies) were evaluated prospectively in 74 relatives of Type I diabetic patients who developed diabetes treated with insulin (prediabetics) and in 426 control subjects who did not develop insulin-requiring diabetes. Based on the presence of DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201 and/or DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302, the number of HLA-DQ high-risk haplotypes was assigned as 0, 1 or 2. RESULTS A higher prevalence of 2 HLA-DQ high-risk haplotypes was present in seronegative prediabetic subjects as compared to non-diabetic autoantibody negative first-degree relatives (33.3 % vs 10.1 % respectively; p < 0.05). Moreover, in seronegative relatives who developed insulin-requiring diabetes, the presence of 2 HLA-DQ high-risk haplotypes conferred an increased cumulative risk of developing insulin requirement of 27 % at 12.5 years of follow-up, compared to a risk of 6 % for non-diabetic relatives who were antibody-negative and had 0 or 1 HLA-DQ high-risk haplotypes (Log rank p = 0.01). CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION These data provide evidence for a phenotype, which is associated with the absence of conventional islet autoantibodies at initial screening, while usually remaining seronegative, and the presence of 2 HLA-DQ high-risk haplotypes with progression to clinical Type I diabetes after a prolonged follow-up. Given the fact that in humans the highest risk-conferring locus associated and linked to the disease is the HLA cluster, and that HLA-DQ molecules play a key role in the development of autoimmune diabetes, our observations imply that as yet unidentified immunologic abnormalities could well exist in seronegative relatives at risk of developing clinical diabetes and carrying 2 HLA-DQ high-risk haplotypes.

Abstract
A double-labeled fluorescent probe was designed and evaluated for detecting Trichomonas vaginalis DNA in a 5' nuclease (TaqMan) assay. The T. vaginalis-specific probe contains a 5'-fluorescein (5'-FAM) and a 3'-rhodamine (TAMRA) derivative. Female genital secretions were collected on Amplicor (Roche Molecular, Indianapolis, Ind.) swabs and by a transport system used for Chlamydia trachomatis and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA detection by PCR. Five hundred fifty-two female genital specimens, of which 248 (45%) were vaginal specimens and 304 (55%) were introital, were tested for both T. vaginalis DNA and viable microorganisms using the 5' nuclease assay and broth culture, respectively. Of these, 304 of 552 (55%) were also evaluated by direct microscopic examination for the characteristic motile organism. After resolving discrepancies, the comparisons produced an analytical sensitivity and specificity for the TaqMan-based PCR assay of 97.8 and 97.4%, respectively. As a result, DeltaRQ values (differences in fluorescence due to probe hybridization and resulting 5'-FAM cleavage from the specific PCR product) of > or =2.0 and < or =1.5 were established for T. vaginalis-positive and -negative cutoffs, respectively. DeltaRQ values between 1.5 and 2.0 were considered indeterminate. Overall findings revealed a high level of agreement between PCR and culture for detecting T. vaginalis. Potential benefits of the 5' nuclease assay include a greater sensitivity compared to direct microscopic examination and the ease of testing large numbers of clinical specimens in a significantly shorter turnaround time compared to culture.

Abstract
Genetic association studies were conducted among two independent cohorts of Chinese ethnicity. The samples consisted of cases and unrelated controls, ascertained from Guangzhou, China, and Singapore. The studies were prompted by our earlier report of an association between schizophrenia and HLA DQB1 alleles (HLA DQB1*0602 and HLA DQB1*0303) in the Singapore sample. Polymorphisms of HLA DQB1 and flanking markers on chromosome 6p21.3 were investigated in the first part of the study. A significant negative association with HLA DQB1*0402 was detected in the Guangzhou sample (Odds ratio, OR 0.26, 95% confidence intervals, CI 0.1, 0.6; p < 0.02, corrected for multiple comparisons). Additional analysis of the Guangzhou and Singapore samples revealed associations at three other anonymous markers flanking HLA DQB1. In the second part of the study, three polymorphisms at the Interleukin-1 gene cluster (IL-1, chromosome 2q13-q21) were investigated in both cohorts, since associations with schizophrenia have been reported in another sample. Persuasive evidence for an association at IL-1 was not detected in either sample. Our results suggest a susceptibility locus for schizophrenia in the HLA region among the Chinese, but further clarification is necessary.

Abstract
Myoblast transplantation has been investigated as a therapy for muscle-related diseases and as a gene delivery vehicle for therapeutic recombinant proteins. Clinical successes involving muscle cell transplantation have been limited, in part because of poor donor cell survival, and the heterogeneous nature of myogenic donor cells has largely been ignored. We have previously reported an isolation technique, preplating, that results in purified myogenic cells that are capable of significantly higher rates of donor cell survival leading to enhanced gene transfer to skeletal muscle. Characterization of these purified cells revealed that they display markers common to stem cells and are capable of multilineage differentiation. This study was performed to phenotypically characterize, by flow cytometry, muscle-derived cell populations obtained by the preplate technique for the purpose of eventually developing a method to quickly identify and isolate viable muscle cells best suited for transplantation. Muscle cell cultures were analyzed for expression of the surface proteins Sca-1, c-Kit, and CD34. We found that the preplate technique purifies distinct myogenic cell subpopulations expressing CD34 alone (Sca-1 negative) and Sca-1 alone (CD34 negative), but that this expression is subject to change with time in culture. Isolation and transplantation of phenotypically pure Sca-1-positive myogenic cells, obtained by magnetic cell sorting, demonstrates the ability to quickly select viable myogenic cells capable of regenerating skeletal muscle and restoring dystrophin expression within dystrophic host skeletal muscle. Flow cytometric described phenotypes will aid in the rapid isolation of specific donor cell populations for muscle cell transplants and muscle cell-mediated gene therapies, thereby enhancing their future success.

Abstract
The evolution of clinical transplantation has hinged on 2 seminal turning points. The first was the demonstration in 1953 by Billingham, Brent, and Medawar that chimerism-associated tolerance could be induced deliberately in neonatal mice by infusing adult donor hematolymphopoietic cells. This discovery escalated in a straight line over the next 15 years to successful bone marrow transplantation in humans. The second turning point was the demonstration that organ allografts could self-induce tolerance under an umbrella of immunosuppression, or in some species without immunosuppression. Unfortunately, it was incorrectly concluded by most immunologists and surgeons that bone marrow and organ engraftment involved different immune mechanisms. In a derivative error, it became widely believed that the tolerogenicity of the liver differed fundamentally not only from that of bone marrow but also from that of other whole organs. These errors became dogma and were not corrected until low level donor leukocyte chimerism was found in humans and animals bearing long surviving liver, kidney, heart, and other kinds of allografts. With successful bone marrow transplantation, the trace population consisted of recipient rather than donor leukocytes. Thus, the consequences of organ and bone marrow engraftment were mirror images. From these observations, it was proposed that the engraftment of all kinds of organs as well as bone marrow cells (BMC) involved host versus graft (HVG) and graft versus host (GVH) reactions with reciprocal induction of variable degrees of specific non-reactivity (tolerance). The maintenance of the tolerance was an active and ongoing process requiring the persistence of the transplanted fragment of the donor immune system. The immune responsiveness and unresponsiveness to both organ and bone marrow allografts are thought to be governed by the migration and localization of leukocytes. The clarifying principles of tranplantation immunology that have emerged from the chimerism studies are relevant to the adaptive immune response to microbial, tumor, allogeneic, and self antigens. These principles should be used to guide efforts to systematically induce tolerance to human tissues and organs, and perhaps ultimately to xenografts.

Abstract
Although the etiopathogenesis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) is still unclear, it is widely accepted that a complex interplay between viral infections and immune mechanisms is the basis of disease genesis. Previously, we showed that heart-infiltrating T cells of patients suffering from acute, fulminant Coxsackie virus B3+-IDC shared a preferential usage of three variable gene segments of the T cell receptor beta chain-(TCR-Vbeta) encoding families Vbeta3, 7 and 13.1. This indicated the possible presence of a superantigen-driven immune response. Here, we further investigated the IDC immunological scenario by analysing different phenotypes of heart-infiltrating cells: TCR repertoires, cytokine expression and presence of enterovirus-specific antigens. IDC patients who underwent heart transplantation at different times after the onset of heart failure were studied. A cardiac infiltrate of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was present together with activated macrophages. Furthermore, the same Vbeta gene families, previously found to be skewed in hearts from fulminant cases of CVB3+-IDC, together with two additional Vbeta gene families, Vbeta1 and 5B, were increased. IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-6 and IFN-gamma were expressed in the myocardium while others, like IL-4 were not. In conclusion, an orchestrated complex of immune mechanisms seems to be the basis of IDC etiopathogenesis.
