Abstract
Consistent with studies showing a high prevalence of the Duffy null phenotype among healthy Black Americans, this retrospective study found that Duffy null was present in >75% of a young and contemporary cohort of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) in the United States. Despite the potential for this phenotype to impact absolute neutrophil counts, hydroxyurea (HU) dosing, and outcomes, it was not associated with being prescribed a lower HU dose or having increased acute SCD visits early in the HU treatment course. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings in older children with SCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2014, germline signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3 gain-of-function (GOF) mutations were first described to cause a novel multisystem disease of early-onset lymphoproliferation and autoimmunity. OBJECTIVE This pivotal cohort study defines the scope, natural history, treatment, and overall survival of a large global cohort of patients with pathogenic STAT3 GOF variants. METHODS We identified 191 patients from 33 countries with 72 unique mutations. Inclusion criteria included symptoms of immune dysregulation and a biochemically confirmed germline heterozygous GOF variant in STAT3. RESULTS Overall survival was 88%, median age at onset of symptoms was 2.3 years, and median age at diagnosis was 12 years. Immune dysregulatory features were present in all patients: lymphoproliferation was the most common manifestation (73%); increased frequencies of double-negative (CD4-CD8-) T cells were found in 83% of patients tested. Autoimmune cytopenias were the second most common clinical manifestation (67%), followed by growth delay, enteropathy, skin disease, pulmonary disease, endocrinopathy, arthritis, autoimmune hepatitis, neurologic disease, vasculopathy, renal disease, and malignancy. Infections were reported in 72% of the cohort. A cellular and humoral immunodeficiency was observed in 37% and 51% of patients, respectively. Clinical symptoms dramatically improved in patients treated with JAK inhibitors, while a variety of other immunomodulatory treatment modalities were less efficacious. Thus far, 23 patients have undergone bone marrow transplantation, with a 62% survival rate. CONCLUSION STAT3 GOF patients present with a wide array of immune-mediated disease including lymphoproliferation, autoimmune cytopenias, and multisystem autoimmunity. Patient care tends to be siloed, without a clear treatment strategy. Thus, early identification and prompt treatment implementation are lifesaving for STAT3 GOF syndrome.

Abstract
CONTEXT Pediatric patients receiving chemotherapy experience unwanted therapy-induced side effects, commonly constipation and pain that diminish quality of life. To date, few studies have investigated the safety and feasibility of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in pediatric oncology. OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of OMT in pediatric oncology outpatient clinics. METHODS This is a single institutional pilot study evaluating children aged ≥2-21 years receiving chemotherapy for an oncological diagnosis at Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH). Permission was obtained from the NCH Institutional Review Board. Participants were enrolled for 8 weeks and received weekly OMT. OMT was deemed feasible by participating in six out of eight weekly treatments, and safety was assessed through adverse event grading per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). During the clinic visit, patients answered validated surveys on constipation (Bristol Stool Scale) and pain (FACES Scale) pre/post-OMT. Feasibility was analyzed utilizing a one-sided exact binomial test while validated tools and adverse events were summarized descriptively. RESULTS A total of 23 patients were enrolled, with 21 included in feasibility analyses. The majority of the patients were female (n=13, 61.9%), with a median age of 12 years at enrollment (range, 2.7-20.8 years). There were no serious adverse events attributed to OMT intervention, and among the patients assessed for feasibility, 100% of them participated in at least two-thirds of their weekly OMT treatments, meeting our defined feasibility criteria. The intervention lasted an average of 14.2 min (range, 7.2-19.2 min). There were no FACES or Bristol Stool Scale scores that correlated with worsening pain on constipation post-OMT intervention. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric oncology patients were feasibly and safely able to receive OMT during a regularly scheduled chemotherapy visit. The limitations include the small sample size. These findings support the need to further investigate the safety and feasibility, as well as efficacy, of OMT in the pediatric oncology clinical setting.

Abstract
Castleman disease is a non‐clonal, lymphoproliferative disorder rarely seen in children. Presented is a 12‐year‐old male with progressive abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. Diagnostic testing revealed multi‐organ system involvement and the diagnosis was ultimately made with tissue biopsy. Marked disease regression occurred after high‐dose steroids and continued interleukin‐6 inhibition.

Abstract
The North American Pediatric Aplastic Anemia Consortium (NAPAAC) is a group of pediatric hematologist-oncologists, hematopathologists, and bone marrow transplant physicians from 46 institutions in North America with interest and expertise in aplastic anemia, inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, and myelodysplastic syndromes. The NAPAAC Bone Marrow Failure Diagnosis and Care Guidelines Working Group was established with the charge of harmonizing the approach to the diagnostic workup of aplastic anemia in an effort to standardize best practices in the field. This document outlines the rationale for initial evaluations in pediatric patients presenting with signs and symptoms concerning for severe aplastic anemia.

Abstract
The congenital sideroblastic anemias (CSAs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of erythropoiesis characterized by pathologic deposits of iron in the mitochondria of developing erythroblasts. Mutations in the mitochondrial glycine carrier SLC25A38 cause the most common recessive form of CSA. Nonetheless, the disease is still rare, there being fewer than 70 reported families. Here we describe the clinical phenotype and genotypes of 31 individuals from 24 families, including 11 novel mutations. We also review the spectrum of reported mutations and genotypes associated with the disease, describe the unique localization of missense mutations in transmembrane domains and account for the presence of several alleles in different populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Many children receiving chemotherapy struggle with therapy-induced side effects. To date, there has been no literature investigating the needs, knowledge, or implementation of osteopathic manipulative treatments (OMT) as a supportive care option in pediatric oncology. We hypothesized that pediatric oncology clinicians, caregivers, and patients have (a) limited knowledge of OMT and (b) dissatisfaction with current supportive care options and (c) would be interested in having OMT available during chemotherapy, once educated. METHODS Participants included three cohorts: (1) children aged ≥ 9 years, diagnosed with cancer and actively receiving chemotherapy; (2) their caregivers; and (3) oncology clinicians at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Participants completed 1:1 semi-structured interviews, which were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed for thematic content regarding their perception of supportive care measures and views on OMT. Quantitative data was summarized descriptively. RESULTS A total of 60 participants completed the interview. Participants demonstrated limited awareness of osteopathic medicine; no participant had more than "some" knowledge of OMT. After education about OMT using a brief video, all clinicians, caregivers, and 95% of patients were receptive to OMT as a supportive care option. Major themes included the following: (a) patients have uncontrolled chemotherapy side effects, (b) improved supportive care options are desired, and (c) osteopathic medicine is a favorable supportive care adjunct. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric oncology clinicians, caregivers, and patients reported a need for better management of chemotherapy-associated side effects and an interest in utilizing OMT. These findings support further investigation into the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of implementing OMT in the pediatric oncology clinical setting.

Abstract
We present here a case of MIRAGE syndrome due to novel variant (c.2318T>C) in the sterile α motif domain-containing protein 9 (SAMD9) gene. Previous reports have described the clinical phenotype, which includes myelodysplasia, recurrent infections, restriction of growth and development, adrenal insufficiency, genitourinary abnormalities, and enteropathies, often resulting in fatality within the first few years of life. This report illustrates the variability in phenotype by describing an 11-year-old male, diagnosed with MIRAGE at age 9 years when his novel variant was identified through whole exome sequencing. A brief review of previously published cases of MIRAGE syndrome and the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum are presented.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder with isolated thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic risk. While many children with ITP can be safely observed, treatments are often needed for various reasons, including to decrease bleeding, or to improve health related quality of life (HRQoL). There are a number of available second-line treatments, including rituximab, thrombopoietin-receptor agonists, oral immunosuppressive agents, and splenectomy, but data comparing treatment outcomes are lacking. ICON1 is a prospective, multi-center, observational study of 120 children starting second-line treatments for ITP designed to compare treatment outcomes including platelet count, bleeding, and HRQoL utilizing the Kids ITP Tool (KIT). While all treatments resulted in increased platelet counts, romiplostim had the most pronounced effect at 6 months (P = .04). Only patients on romiplostim and rituximab had a significant reduction in both skin-related (84% to 48%, P = .01 and 81% to 43%, P = .004) and non-skin-related bleeding symptoms (58% to 14%, P = .0001 and 54% to 17%, P = .0006) after 1 month of treatment. HRQoL significantly improved on all treatments. However, only patients treated with eltrombopag had a median improvement in KIT scores at 1 month that met the minimal important difference (MID). Bleeding, platelet count, and HRQoL improved in each treatment group, but the extent and timing of the effect varied among treatments. These results are hypothesis generating and help to improve our understanding of the effect of each treatment on specific patient outcomes. Combined with future randomized trials, these findings will help clinicians select the optimal second-line treatment for an individual child with ITP.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune bleeding disorder which presents with isolated thrombocytopenia and risk of hemorrhage. While most children with ITP promptly recover with or without drug therapy, ITP is persistent or chronic in others. When needed, how to select second-line therapies is not clear. ICON1, conducted within the Pediatric ITP Consortium of North America (ICON), is a prospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study of 120 children from 21 centers starting second-line treatments for ITP which examined treatment decisions. Treating physicians reported reasons for selecting therapies, ranking the top three. In a propensity weighted model, the most important factors were patient/parental preference (53%) and treatment-related factors: side effect profile (58%), long-term toxicity (54%), ease of administration (46%), possibility of remission (45%), and perceived efficacy (30%). Physician, health system, and clinical factors rarely influenced decision-making. Patient/parent preferences were selected as reasons more often in chronic ITP (85.7%) than in newly diagnosed (0%) or persistent ITP (14.3%, P = .003). Splenectomy and rituximab were chosen for the possibility of inducing long-term remission (P < .001). Oral agents, such as eltrombopag and immunosuppressants, were chosen for ease of administration and expected adherence (P < .001). Physicians chose rituximab in patients with lower expected adherence (P = .017). Treatment choice showed some physician and treatment center bias. This study illustrates the complexity and many factors involved in decision-making in selecting second-line ITP treatments, given the absence of comparative trials. It highlights shared decision-making and the need for well-conducted, comparative effectiveness studies to allow for informed discussion between patients and clinicians.

We describe a patient with SCN associated with c.1A>G (M1V) mutation in ELANE gene resulting in refractoriness to G-CSF, who received reduced-intensity HCT and developed secondary graft failure requiring a second myeloablative HCT. This case suggests that M1V mutation confers a poor G-CSF response and HCT using the best available donor is beneficial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The thrombopoietin receptor agonist romiplostim could be an effective treatment in symptomatic children with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia. We aimed to assess whether romiplostim is safe and effective in children with immune thrombocytopenia of more than 6 months' duration. METHODS In this phase 3 double-blind study, eligible participants were children with immune thrombocytopenia aged 1 year to 17 years and mean platelet counts 30 × 10(9)/L or less (mean of two measurements during the screening period) with no single count greater than 35 × 10(9)/L, and were recruited from 27 sites in the USA, Canada, and Australia. Participants were randomly assigned (2:1) through the interactive voice response system to receive weekly romiplostim or placebo for 24 weeks stratified by age (1 year to <6 years, 6 years to <12 years, 12 years to <18 years), adjusting the dose weekly from 1 μg/kg to 10 μg/kg to target platelet counts of 50-200 × 10(9)/L. Patients and investigators were blinded to the treatment assignment. The primary analysis included all randomised patients and the safety analysis included all randomised patients who received at least one dose of investigational product. The primary endpoint, durable platelet response, was defined as achievement of weekly platelet responses (platelet counts ≥50 × 10(9)/L without rescue drug use in the preceding 4 weeks) in 6 or more of the final 8 weeks (weeks 18-25). This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT 01444417. FINDINGS Between Jan 24, 2012, and Sept 3, 2014, 62 patients were randomly assigned; 42 to romiplostim and 20 to placebo. Durable platelet response was seen in 22 (52%) patients in the romiplostim group and two (10%) in the placebo group (p=0·002, odds ratio 9·1 [95% CI 1·9-43·2]). Durable platelet response rates with romiplostim by age were 38% (3/8) for 1 year to younger than 6 years, 56% (10/18) for 6 years to younger than 12 years, and 56% (9/16) for 12 years to younger than 18 years. One (5%) of 19 patients in the placebo group had serious adverse events compared with 10 (24%) of 42 patients in the romiplostim group. Of these serious adverse events, headache and thrombocytosis, in one (2%) of 42 patients in the romiplostim group, were considered treatment related. No patients withdrew due to adverse events. INTERPRETATION In children with chronic immune thrombocytopenia, romiplostim induced a high rate of platelet response with no new safety signals. Ongoing romiplostim studies will provide further information as to long-term efficacy, safety, and remission in children with immune thrombocytopenia. FUNDING Amgen Inc.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that nicotine, which acts peripherally to promote coughing, might inhibit reflex cough at a central site. Nicotine was administered via the vertebral artery [intra-arterial (ia)] to the brain stem circulation and by microinjections into a restricted area of the caudal ventral respiratory column in 33 pentobarbital anesthetized, spontaneously breathing cats. The number of coughs induced by mechanical stimulation of the tracheobronchial airways; amplitudes of the diaphragm, abdominal muscle, and laryngeal muscles EMGs; and several temporal characteristics of cough were analyzed after administration of nicotine and compared with those during control and recovery period. (-)Nicotine (ia) reduced cough number, cough expiratory efforts, blood pressure, and heart rate in a dose-dependent manner. (-)Nicotine did not alter temporal characteristics of the cough motor pattern. Pretreatment with mecamylamine prevented the effect of (-)nicotine on blood pressure and heart rate, but did not block the antitussive action of this drug. (+)Nicotine was less potent than (-)nicotine for inhibition of cough. Microinjections of (-)nicotine into the caudal ventral respiratory column produced similar inhibitory effects on cough as administration of this isomer by the ia route. Mecamylamine microinjected in the region just before nicotine did not significantly reduce the cough suppressant effect of nicotine. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors significantly modulate functions of brain stem and in particular caudal ventral respiratory column neurons involved in expression of the tracheobronchial cough reflex by a mecamylamine-insensitive mechanism.

Abstract
CAMT is a bone marrow failure syndrome that usually presents with isolated thrombocytopenia soon after birth. HSCT is curative, and MAC is associated with increased transplant-related morbidity and mortality, especially in the unrelated setting. We used a RIC regimen with alemtuzumab, fludarabine, and melphalan in a seven-month-old patient with CAMT who underwent a MUD HSCT. The transplant was well tolerated with few complications. Neutrophil and platelet engraftment occurred on day +12 and +29, respectively, and she had 100% donor chimerisms on days +19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although recent evidence-based guidelines for the management of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) recommend a conservative, observation-based approach for the majority of patients with newly diagnosed pediatric ITP, current practice patterns are unknown. This study used the Pediatric Health Information System database to examine patterns of inpatient care in newly diagnosed ITP in freestanding US children's hospitals and to examine geographic differences in care. METHODS Data were extracted from Pediatric Health Information System for all newly diagnosed ITP admissions aged 1 to 18 years discharged between January 2008 and December 2010. Clinical data obtained included age, gender, length of stay, diagnoses, medications, and discharge status. RESULTS We identified 2314 unique patients meeting the study diagnosis of newly diagnosed ITP. Noncutaneous bleeding occurred in 12% of patients (intracranial hemorrhage 0.6%), with epistaxis the most commonly reported symptom. Ninety percent of hospitalized patients received ITP-directed therapy, with intravenous immunoglobulin G the most commonly used therapy (78% of patients). We identified significant variation by geographic region in treatment strategies, length of stay, hospital charges, and likelihood of readmission. CONCLUSIONS A substantial number of children with newly diagnosed ITP continue to be hospitalized and receive intravenous medications, although the majority of these patients do not have clinical bleeding events during the admission. By using these results as a backdrop, future studies will be able to identify if the number of ITP admissions, costs of care, and geographic variability in care decrease with the dissemination and implementation of recently published guidelines.

Abstract
Chronic lung injury in the neonate is termed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). These patients generally require supplemental oxygen therapy, and hyperoxia has been implicated in the pathogenesis of BPD. The concomitant use of oxygen and inhaled NO (iNO) may result in the generation of reactive nitrogen species or may have an anti-inflammatory effect in the neonatal lung. We tested the hypothesis that exposure to >95% O2 in neonatal mice would increase trafficking of leukocytes into the lung and that the addition of iNO to >95% O2 would decrease this leukocyte trafficking. Hyperoxia resulted in fewer alveoli, increased presence of neutrophils and macrophages, and decreased number of mast cells within the lung parenchyma. Adding iNO to hyperoxia prevented the hyperoxia-induced changes and resulted in the numbers of alveoli, neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells approximating those found in controls (room air exposure). Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), two factors responsible for leukocyte recruitment, were up-regulated by hyperoxic exposure, but the addition of iNO to the hyperoxic exposure prevented the hyperoxia-induced up-regulation of ICAM and MCP-1. These data demonstrate that iNO alters the hyperoxia-induced recruitment of leukocytes into the lung.

Abstract
Microinjections of D,L-homocysteic acid (DLH) were used to test the hypothesis that neuronal activation within the Botzinger complex area can modify the spatiotemporal characteristics of the cough reflex in 17 spontaneously breathing pentobarbitone anesthetized cats. DLH (50 mM, 1.25-1.75 nmol, 9 cats) reduced the number (P<0.01) of coughs and expiratory amplitude of abdominal electromyographic activity (P<0.01), and also esophageal pressure (P<0.001) during mechanically induced tracheobronchial cough. The duration of cough abdominal activity was shortened by 48% (P<0.05). DLH microinjections also temporarily reduced the respiratory rate (P<0.01) and increased the mean arterial blood pressure (P<0.001), baseline of esophageal pressure (P<0.01), and end tidal CO(2) concentrations (P<0.01). Lower doses of DLH (0.27-0.35 nmol, 7 cats) or vehicle (25-35 nl, 8 cats) induced few alterations in cardiorespiratory or cough characteristics. The results support predominantly inhibitory effects of neurons in the region of the Bötzinger complex on cough abdominal activity and cough number.

Abstract
Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a rare bone marrow failure syndrome that presents with isolated thrombocytopenia within the first year of life. Classic diagnostic bone marrow findings reveal absent or significantly decreased megakaryocytes with otherwise normal marrow cellularity. We present a newborn with thrombocytopenia whose initial bone marrow aspirate showed an appropriate number of megakaryocytes. CAMT was subsequently diagnosed after molecular testing demonstrated a mutation in the thrombopoietin receptor. The presence of a normal number of megakaryocytes on an initial bone marrow aspirate should not exclude CAMT from the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia within the first year of life.

Abstract
The solubility, in human urine, of the major hydroxylated metabolite (M1) of an experimental cognition enhancer was characterized through a series of in vitro experiments in an effort to estimate the probability of crystalluria occurring following oral administration of the parent compound. The aim of these experiments was to determine if a safety margin existed between clinically observed urine concentrations and the solubility of M1. The mean urine concentrations of M1 in young and elderly subjects following oral administration of the parent compound at the highest doses tested, were 4865 +/- 2368 ng/mL and 2764 +/- 791 ng/mL, respectively. In vitro solubility experiments with M1 were conducted in drug-free human urine (37 degrees C) from four male and four female healthy subjects under conditions of high and low urine osmolality. Mean concentrations (n = 16) of M1 in human urine to which solid M1 was added, were 3656 +/- 621 ng/mL, 4678 +/- 1169 ng/mL and 5378 +/- 2474 ng/mL after stirring for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively, indicating that the ex vivo mean solubility of M1 in human urine is no greater then approximately 5 microg/mL. Addition of solid M1 to urine from human subjects dosed with the parent compound resulted in mean urine M1 concentrations 23.5% greater than those observed in vivo. The results from both experiments indicated a significant overlap between urine concentrations of M1 in vivo following the highest oral administration of the parent drug and M1 solubility measured in vitro, suggesting a high potential for in vivo saturation of urine with M1 with subsequent precipitation, crystalluria, and nephrotoxicity. Consequently, the results of these studies have placed restrictions on the dose that could be administered during clinical development of this compound.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has produced guidelines for the management of acute low back pain in primary care. AIM To investigate the impact on patient management of an educational strategy to promote these guidelines among general practitioners (GPs). DESIGN OF STUDY Group randomised controlled trial, using the health centre as the unit of randomisation. SETTING Primary care teams in north-west England. METHOD Twenty-four health centres were randomly allocated to an intervention or control arm. Practices in the intervention arm were offered outreach visits to promote national guidelines on acute low back pain, as well as access to fast-track physiotherapy and to a triage service for patients with persistent symptoms. RESULTS Twenty-four centres were randomised. Two thousand, one hundred and eighty-seven eligible patients presented with acute low back pain during the study period: 1049 in the intervention group and 1138 in the control group. There were no significant differences between study groups in the proportion of patients who were referred for X-ray, issued with a sickness certificate, prescribed opioids or muscle relaxants, or who were referred to secondary care, but significantly more patients in the intervention group were referred to physiotherapy or the back pain unit (difference in proportion = 12.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.8% to 21.6%). CONCLUSION The management of patients presenting with low back pain to primary care was mostly unchanged by an outreach educational strategy to promote greater adherence to RCGP guidelines among GPs. An increase in referral to physiotherapy or educational programmes followed the provision of a triage service.

Abstract
A method for the simultaneous determination of etoricoxib and its carbon-13 analog ((13)C(6)-etoricoxib) from human plasma has been developed and used to support bioavailability studies. Plasma samples (0.5 mL) were extracted by using a 3M Empore 96-well plate (C(8)) and the resulting extracts were analyzed by using a PE-Sciex API-3000 HPLC-MS/MS with a heated nebulizer interface (500 degrees C). The method was validated with two different calibration curve ranges, one for etoricoxib (5 to 2500 ng/mL) determined in the presence of lower concentrations of (13)C(6)-etoricoxib (0.5 to 250 ng/mL), and a second curve for the quantitation of similar concentrations of both etoricoxib and (13)C(6)-etoricoxib (0.5 to 250 ng/mL). Extraction recoveries of etoricoxib, (13)C(6)-etoricoxib, and a methylated internal standard were >70% over the range of concentrations included in both calibration curves. Intraday precision and accuracy for the quantitation of etoricoxib were 7.8% relative standard deviation (RSD) or less and within 3.4% respectively over the range of 5 to 2500 ng/mL, and 10.8% RSD or less and within 4 % respectively over the range of 0.5 to 250 ng/mL. Within-batch precision and accuracy for the quantitation of (13)C(6)-etoricoxib over the range of 0.5 to 250 ng/mL were 8.3% RSD or less and within 2.3%, respectively. The validated assay was used in support of human clinical trials.

Abstract
In-vitro studies were conducted to assess the impact of CYP2C9 genotype on the metabolism (methyl hydroxylation) and pharmacokinetics of celecoxib, a novel cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor and CYP2C9 substrate. When compared to cDNA-expressed wild-type CYP2C9 (CYP2C9*1), the Vmax/Km ratio for celecoxib methyl hydroxylation was reduced by 34% and 90% in the presence of recombinant CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, respectively. These data indicated that the amino acid substitution at position 359 (Ile to Leu) elicited a more pronounced effect on the metabolism of celecoxib than did a substitution at position 144 (Arg to Cys). The Vmax/Km ratio was also decreased in microsomes of livers genotyped CYP2C9*1/*2 (47% decrease, mean of two livers), or CYP2C9*1/*3 (59% decrease, one liver). In all cases, these changes were largely reflective of a decrease in Vmax, with a minimal change in Km. Based on simulations of the in-vitro data obtained with the recombinant CYP2C9 proteins, it was anticipated that the pharmacokinetics of celecoxib (as a much as a five-fold increase in plasma AUC) would be altered (versus CYP2C9*1/*1 subjects) in subjects genotyped heterozygous or homozygous for the CYP2C9*2 (Cys144) or CYP2C9*3 (Leu359) allele. In a subsequent clinical study, the AUC of celecoxib was increased (versus CYP2C9*1/*1 subjects) approximately 2.2-fold (range, 1.6-3-fold) in two CYP2C9*1/*3 subjects and one CYP2C9*3/*3 subject receiving a single oral dose (200 mg) of the drug. In contrast, there was no significant change in celecoxib AUC in two subjects genotyped CYP2C9*1/*2.

Abstract
A method for the simultaneous determination of the HIV protease inhibitors indinavir and L-756423, in human plasma has been developed. Plasma samples (0.5 ml) were extracted using a 3M Empore 96-well plate in the mixed phase cation exchange (MPC) format. The extraction method was automated through the application of both the Packard 204DT and TOMTEC Quadra 96 work stations, and the resulting extracts were analyzed using a PE-Sciex API-3000 LC-MS/MS with a heated nebulizer interface (500 degrees C). The assay was linear in the concentration range 1-2500 ng/ml for indinavir and 5 2500 ng/ml for L-756423 when 0.5-ml aliquots of plasma were extracted. Recoveries of indinavir and L-756423 were greater than 76 and 80%, respectively, over the calibration curve range when using the described sample preparation method. Within-batch precision and accuracy for the quantitation of indinavir over the range 1-2500 ng/ml were 5.4% R.S.D. or less and within 4.0%, respectively. Within-batch precision and accuracy for the quantitation of L-756423 over the range 5-2500 ng/ml were 5.3% R.S.D. or less and within 3.4%, respectively. Interbatch variability for the analysis of indinavir QC samples at low (3 ng/ml), middle (250 ng/ml) and high (2250 ng/ml) were 3.2, 2.9, and 1.9%, respectively. Interbatch variability for the analysis of L-756423 QC samples at low (15 ng/ml), middle (250 ng/ml) and high (2250 ng/ml) concentration were 2.0, 2.5, and 3.3%, respectively. The validated assay was used in support of human clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the ways that persons with long standing chronic low back pain respond to the problem of medical doubt about the presence of organic pathology. METHOD Qualitative analysis of accounts provided by 12 persons attending a back pain rehabilitation clinic in NW England. RESULTS Subjects rejected the notion that they were culpable for their pain. They were not culpable for the onset of their pain. They argued that despite their cooperation, no sensible explanation of their pain was forthcoming from health professionals. Finally, they asserted that medical scepticism had been damaging and dispiriting. CONCLUSION Patients dealt with clinical doubt by stressing their own expertise. They constituted their beliefs about the cause and trajectory of their pain and disability as accurate accounts of their disability. They resisted the suggestion that there might be psychological factors involved in their ill-health by locating culpability among clinicians, who were confused or uncertain about diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
A method is described for the determination of celecoxib in human plasma. Samples were extracted using 3M Empore membrane extraction cartridges and separated under normal-phase HPLC conditions using a Nucleosil-NO2 (150x4.6 mm, 5 microm) column. Detection was accomplished using UV absorbance at 260 nm. The HPLC method included a column switching procedure, in which late eluting compounds were diverted to waste, to reduce run-time to 12 min. The assay was linear in the concentration range of 25-2000 ng/ml when 1-ml aliquots of plasma were extracted. Recoveries of celecoxib were greater than 91% over the calibration curve range. Intraday precision and accuracy for this assay were 5.7% C.V. or better and within 2.3% of nominal, respectively. The assay was used to analyze samples collected during human clinical studies.

Abstract
A method for the determination of L-756 423, a novel HIV protease inhibitor, in human plasma and urine is described. Plasma and urine samples were extracted using 3M Empore extraction disk cartridges in the C18 and MPC (mixed-phase cation-exchange) formats, respectively. The extract was analyzed using HPLC with fluorescence detection (ex 248 nm, em 300 nm), and included a column switching procedure to reduce run-time. The assay was linear in the concentration range 5 to 1000 ng/ml when 1-ml aliquots of plasma and urine were extracted. Recoveries of L-756 423 were greater than 84% over the calibration curve range using the described sample preparation procedures. Intra-day precision and accuracy for this assay was less than 9% RSD and within 7%, respectively. Inter-day variabilities for the plasma (n=17) and urine (n= 10) were less than 5% and 3% for low (15 ng/ml) and high (750 ng/ml) quality control samples. Bovine serum albumin (0.5%) was used as an additive to urine to prevent precipitation of L-756 423 during the storage of clinical samples. The assay was used in support of human clinical trials.

Abstract
Two new reagents, NDTE (2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 2,5-bis-tetrahydropyranyl ether p-nitrophenyl ester) and HLTE (homogentisic gamma-lactone tetrahydropyranyl ether), are described for the chemical derivatization of primary and/or secondary amines to form an electrochemically active product. These reagents undergo reaction with the aforementioned analytes to form a product possessing the hydroquinone moiety, thus allowing for reversible electrochemical detection at mild oxidation potentials. The reactivity of each reagent was demonstrated by using N-ethylbenzylamine (EBzA) and the dipeptide isoleucine leucine methyl ester as model analytes. The investigation included the isolation and identification of the intermediates and final products from derivatization of EBzA. These isolated standards were subsequently characterized with respect to electrochemical properties by means of cyclic voltammetry. In LC-EC experiments, the concentration limit of detection (CLOD) of the purified EBzA product was determined to be 5 nM (100 fmol) at a detection potential of +200 mV vs Ag/AgCl ([Cl-] = 3 M). The CLOD values obtained by LC-EC after derivatization of aqueous solutions of EBzA and Ile-Leu-OMe with NDTE were 25 nM (250 fmol) and 250 nM (2.5 pmol), respectively.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Eighty-four patients with chronic low back pain were treated using cognitive behavioral principles on a pain management program. Outcome data were collected at four points: 10 weeks before treatment, immediately before and immediately after treatment, and 6 months after treatment. In part 1 of the study, patients were assigned randomly to group or individual treatment contexts. In part 2 of the study, patients were assigned randomly to programs of 15, 30, or 60 hours duration. OBJECTIVES To identify the differences in outcome between programs that treated patients as part of a group and those that treated patients individually and the effects of duration of treatment on outcome. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Cognitive behavioral programs have been shown to be an effective means of managing chronic low back pain. The literature is concerned with group programs, however, the duration of which vary widely. METHOD Psychological and functional variables were measured before and after treatment and at the 6-month follow-up visit. Changes in these variables were measured, and comparisons were made between group and individual programs and between 15-, 30-, and 60-hour programs. RESULTS Data analysis showed a significant, beneficial effect of intervention in terms of the majority of variables; however, these changes were generally independent of whether patients were treated as part of a group or individually and whether patients completed a 15-, 30-, or 60-hour program. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive behavioral rehabilitation programs have been demonstrated to be an effective means of reducing psychological distress, of changing cognition, and of improving the function of patients with chronic low back pain; however, the length of program and whether patients were treated individually or as part of a group did not affect outcome. This finding has clinical and economic implications.

Abstract
The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of a Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) trimer has been studied after its preseparation fluorogenic derivatization with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde in the presence of cyanide (NDA/CN). Trace levels of the PNA trimer were determined in cell homogenate samples containing the PNA trimer at prederivatization concentrations as low as 48.9 ng ml-1. The sample pretreatment operations included a deproteination step, achieved by ultra-filtration, followed by fluorogenic derivatization (NDA/CN). Subsequently, to achieve adequate selectivity, the fluorescently labeled PNA was subjected to high performance anion exchange chromatography prior to quantitation via fluorescence detection. The various problems encountered during sample pretreatment and separation of derivatized PNA trimer in biological samples are presented and discussed.

Abstract
Gill epithelial cells of euryhaline crustaceans demonstrate net inward transport of sodium ions, possibly via apical Na+/H+ antiporters, Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporters or Na+ channels working in series with the basolateral Na(+) + K(+)-ATPase. We have identified and sequenced the cDNA coding for a crustacean Na+/H+ antiporter, starting with mRNA isolated from gills of the euryhaline green shore crab Carcinus maenas. The complete 2595-base-pair cDNA includes an open reading frame coding for a 673-amino-acid protein. A search of GenBank revealed more than 20 high-scoring matches, all Na+/H+ antiporter sequences from mammalian, amphibian, teleost and nematode species. Injection of Xenopus laevis oocytes with cRNA transcribed from the cloned crab sequence substantially enhanced Na(+)-dependent H+ efflux from the oocytes. Analysis of crab tissue antiporter mRNA levels by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed that posterior and anterior gills of Carcinus maenas expressed this antiporter the most strongly, followed in decreasing order by skeletal muscle, hepatopancreas, hypodermis and heart. Hydropathy and transmembrane alpha-helix analysis suggested a 10-helix membrane-spanning topology of the antiporter protein. It is clear from this study that Carcinus maenas gills vigorously transcribe a gene coding for a Na+/H+ antiporter. Whether these gills also express a gene coding for an epithelial Na+ channel or Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter remains to be demonstrated.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Three hundred patients, attending their general practitioners with attacks of acute low back pain, formed the subject population for a study of fear avoidance and other variables in the prediction of chronicity. Follow-up was at 2 and 12 months. OBJECTIVE The hypothesis to be tested was that evidence of psychological morbidity, particularly fear-avoidance behavior, would be manifest from the outset of the presenting attack in susceptible subjects. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA While back pain is an almost universal human experience, only about 5% of sufferers seek medical advice. Most of these respond to conservative treatment. However, approximately 10% of those who experience an acute attack of low back pain go on to become chronic sufferers. METHODS Psychosocial and physiological data (including fear-avoidance measures) were collected from a sample of 300 acute low back pain patients within 1 week of presentation and at 2 months, to try to predict 12 month outcome. RESULTS Data analysis showed that subjects who had not recovered by 2 months were those who went on to become chronic low back pain patients (7.3%). Using multiple regression analyses, fear-avoidance variables were the most successful in predicting outcome. Using multiple discriminant function analyses, the results suggest that the outcome in terms of the future course of low back pain can be correctly classified in 66% from fear-avoidance variables alone and in 88% of patients from all variables. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that, at the earliest stage of low back pain, fear of pain should be identified by clinicians and, where this is severe, pain confrontation should arguably form part of the approach to treatment.

Abstract
The microbiological quality of 745 conventionally processed and 745 reprocessed broiler carcasses was determined. Carcasses were taken from the processing line prior to entering the chiller in five commercial processing plants. Each plant was sampled twice during the winter, spring, and summer. Analyses included aerobic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae , and Escherichia coli counts plus qualitative Salmonella (SAL) prevalence. Differences between overall mean log10 counts for aerobic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae , and E. coli were not significant. The prevalence of SAL detected on conventionally processed and reprocessed carcasses also was not significantly different. Some variation was observed in microbiological quality of carcasses among processing plants. Although the SAL prevalence appeared to decline from winter to summer replications, no significant trend could be demonstrated. Continuation of the practice of reprocessing carcasses appears justified.

Abstract
The Fear Avoidance Model of Exaggerated Pain Perception was developed in an attempt to explain how, and why, some individuals develop a more substantial psychological overlay to their low back pain problem than do others. The present paper describes a study in which three chronic pain groups, consisting of Post-Herpetic neuralgia patients, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy patients and chronic low back pain patients were compared with three pain-free comparison groups using the Fear Avoidance Model of Exaggerated Pain Perception. The results show statistically significant differences between the chronic groups and the recovered comparison groups. These results demonstrate the usefulness of the Fear Avoidance Model as an explanation of psychological overlay in chronic pain conditions regardless of pathology.

Abstract
A substantial proportion of the problems in keyboard operator 'Over-use Syndromes' occur in the wrist and finger extensor muscle group. Biomechanical analysis shows these muscles to be subject to substantial sustained static (isometric) muscle contraction during the work task. This study measured the maximum relaxed finger press forces for 60 subjects in three arm support methods, in order to predict what the minimum keypress force should be to permit finger support sufficient to facilitate relaxation of finger extensor muscles. It was postulated that the minimum key activation force should accommodate the 95 percentile predicted population relaxed finger weights. The predicted force of 0.8 newton is within limits previously proposed for performance criteria, and which have been found practical commercially.

Abstract
This study was designed to assess whether physiotherapy exercises administered for low back pain have the physiological effects that they purport to have (increase spinal mobility and muscle strength) and whether these effects are of clinical relevance (related to changes in pain and function). Thirty-six patients were allocated to three treatment conditions, mobilizing exercises, isometric exercises or an attention-placebo control procedure. The results did not support the hypotheses concerning the effects of physiotherapy exercises, and hence challenge widely held views concerning the mechanism by which some patients suffering from low back pain improve whilst undergoing physiotherapy exercises.

Abstract
This study reviewed the standardized records of 1100 patients with the symptoms of temporomandibular joint syndrome. Of these patients, only 4.5 percent required surgical intervention. The remaining patients were found to have masticatory muscle spasm and were treated by conservative dental methods. Over half the surgical patients had significant macrotrauma to the jaws in their past history. In addition, electromyographic measurement of the masseteric silent period duration in these patients did not reveal muscle spasm. These factors further serve to differentiate the surgical patient from the patient with myofascial pain dysfunction. The patients selected for surgery demonstrated moderate to severe joint disease and required arthroplasty with partial meniscectomy. A surgical technique is presented demonstrating the reconstruction of the meniscus with silicone implant. This same surgical technique is studied in 10 monkeys, and their joints are examined histologically. The results of surgery reveal that 87 percent of the patients reported improvement 1 year after surgery. In all patients complaining of temporomandibular joint clicking or crepitus, surgery produced complete alleviation of these symptoms. The results of surgery were also associated with a 62 percent increase of jaw opening. Histologic evaluation of the human meniscal resections revealed that in addition to an anatomic displacement of the meniscus, there are also significant cellular changes. These changes consisted of calcification, a decrease in cellularity, hyperemia, and a decrease in elastin content.

Abstract
A patient with observed acute collapse of a lumbar vertebral body developed cauda equina compression. He was known to have contracted syphilis some 20 years before and, while he may well have suffered from tabetic spinal neuroarthropathy, histology of the collapsed vertebra showed features which indicate that an intra-osseous gumma could also have been responsible for his vertebral collapse and subsequent neurological deficit.
