Abstract
Background A 9-valent human papillomavirus-6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 (9vHPV) vaccine extends coverage to 5 next most common oncogenic types (31/33/45/52/58) in cervical cancer versus quadrivalent HPV (qHPV) vaccine. We describe efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety in Asian participants (India, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand) from 2 international studies: a randomized, double-blinded, qHPV vaccine-controlled efficacy study (young women aged 16–26 years; NCT00543543; Study 001); and an immunogenicity study (girls and boys aged 9–15 years; NCT00943722; Study 002). Methods Participants (N = 2519) were vaccinated at day 1 and months 2 and 6. Gynecological samples (Study 001 only) and serum were collected for HPV DNA and antibody assessments, respectively. Injection-site and systemic adverse events (AEs) were monitored. Data were analyzed by country and vaccination group. Results 9vHPV vaccine prevented HPV-31/33/45/52/58–related persistent infection with 90.4%–100% efficacy across included countries. At month 7, ≥97.9% of participants seroconverted for each HPV type. Injection-site AEs occurred in 77.7%–83.1% and 81.9%–87.5% of qHPV and 9vHPV vaccine recipients in Study 001, respectively, and 62.4%–85.7% of girls/boys in Study 002; most were mild to moderate. Conclusions The 9vHPV vaccine is efficacious, immunogenic, and well tolerated in Asian participants. Data support 9vHPV vaccination programs in Asia. Clinical Trials Registration NCT00543543; NCT00943722.

Abstract
A 9-valent HPV (9vHPV) vaccine has been developed to protect against HPV type 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58-related infection and disease. Previous safety analyses from 7 clinical trials conducted in 9vHPV vaccine recipients 9–26 years of age, including comparisons of 9vHPV and quadrivalent HPV (qHPV) vaccines in girls and women 16–26 years of age, showed that the 9vHPV vaccine was generally well tolerated. Additional safety analyses were conducted to include the results of new clinical studies. The safety profile of the 9vHPV vaccine in prior qHPV vaccine recipients (n = 3756 from 1 randomized controlled trial and 2 open-label extension studies) and young men (n = 248 9vHPV and n = 248 qHPV vaccine recipients from 1 randomized controlled trial) was evaluated. Vaccine was administered as a 3-dose regimen (at Day 1 and Months 2 and 6), and adverse events (AEs) were monitored. The most common AEs were injection-site events (91.1% and 79.0% in prior qHPV vaccine recipients and young men, respectively), the majority of which were mild. Discontinuations due to an AE were rare (0.2% and 0.0% among prior qHPV vaccine recipients and young men, respectively). In young men, the AE profile of the 9vHPV vaccine was generally similar to that of the qHPV vaccine. Overall, the 9vHPV vaccine was generally well tolerated in prior qHPV vaccine recipients and in young men, with an AE profile generally consistent with that previously reported with the broader clinical program.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine psychological processes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in relation to measures of life stress, coping styles, social support and cognitive ability. Fifty-two SLE patients without overt neuropsychiatric symptoms, 29 RA patients and 27 healthy controls completed measures of depression, mood, disease activity, perceived health, stressful life events, coping, and social support. Variables entered into the multiple regression analysis following principal component analysis were: group, major difficult event, major life threatening event, disengaging coping, emotional coping, social support, and cognitive impairment. Depressive symptoms were associated with SLE group status (P < 0.001), major life-threatening events (P < 0.01), disengage coping (P < 0.001) and emotional coping (P < 0.05). SLE group status (P < 0.05), disengage coping (P < 0.05) and emotional coping (P < 0.05) were associated with current distressed mood. SLE patients without overt, major neuropsychiatric symptoms had greater psychological distress compared to RA and control subjects. Increased depressive symptoms and distressed mood state in SLE patients were related to use of disengaging and emotional coping styles. These findings are limited to SLE patients with no overt neuropsychiatric illness and low disease activity, suggesting the need for future studies with a greater variety of SLE patients. Interventions aimed at improving active coping and minimizing emotional response to stress may lower psychological distress in SLE patients with mild disease.

Abstract
The total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) creates a passive system of blood flow into the pulmonary circulation. We hypothesize that the efficiency differences found in models with superior vena cava-inferior vena cava (SVC-IVC) offsets is dependent on vessel size, with flow efficiency improving with larger size vessels. Two sets of in vitro TCPC models (TCPC-3 and TCPC-15) were constructed corresponding to average vessel diameters of 3- and 15-year-old patients. The model with full SVC-IVC offset was the most efficient in TCPC-3 models. There was no significant difference between geometric arrangements in TCPC-15 models; however, the average efficiencies were significantly higher. Among the models representing vessel sizes of the younger age group, the model with the full-diameter SVC-IVC offset was the most efficient. The models representing vessel sizes of the older age group showed marked improvement in efficiencies throughout without obvious differences between various geometric arrangements. This suggests that geometric considerations in TCPC surgical techniques may be of lower than expected significance over the life span of a patient. More important, after balancing the effects of improved flow efficiency with larger vessels against the effects of chronic volume overload, the trend of performing the Fontan surgery on increasingly younger patients may need to be reconsidered after further studies.

Abstract
Healthy, varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-seropositive subjects, aged 55-89 years (mean age 66 years), received either 4000 PFU of live, attenuated VZV vaccine (n=85) or an equal volume of this vaccine that was heat-inactivated (n=82). Both vaccines significantly boosted VZV antibody (enzyme immunoassay) and gamma-interferon production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated by VZV antigen. These responses returned to baseline by 12 months. Circulating mononuclear cells that proliferated in response to VZV antigen were significantly more numerous (responder cell frequency assay) after either vaccine, and persisted with a half-life of 17. 5-21.3 months. There were no differences in immune response to either vaccine in this older age cohort.
