Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypertension is one of the leading causes of human death and disability. MTHFR and MTRR regulate folate metabolism and are closely linked to hypertension, although the relationship is inconsistent among different ethnic groups. The present study aims to investigate the effects of MTHFR C677T (rs1801133), MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131), and MTRR A66G (rs1801394) polymorphisms on hypertension susceptibility in the Bai nationality of the Yunnan Province, China. METHODS This case-control study included 373 hypertensive patients and 240 healthy controls from the Chinese Bai population. The genotyping of MTHFR and MTRR gene polymorphisms was carried out by using the KASP method. The effects of genetic variations of MTHFR and MTRR genes on hypertension risk were evaluated with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). RESULTS The present study revealed that the CT and TT genotypes and T allele of MTHFR C677T locus were considerably associated with an increased risk of hypertension. In addition, MTHFR A1298C locus CC genotype could significantly increase the hypertension risk. The T-A and C-C haplotypes of MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C could increase the risk of hypertension. Further stratified analysis by risk rank of folate metabolism indicated that people with poor utilization of folic acid were more prone to develop hypertension. In the hypertension group, the MTHFR C677T polymorphism was significantly associated with fasting blood glucose, fructosamine, apolipoprotein A1, homocysteine, superoxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde levels. CONCLUSION Our study suggested that genetic variations of MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C were significantly associated with susceptibility to hypertension in the Bai population from Yunnan, China.

Abstract
FOXG1, a transcriptional factor belonging to the Forkhead Box (Fox) superfamily, is highly expressed in the brain tissue during brain development and plays an important role in cellular proliferation. Recently, FOXG1 was reported to play important roles in oncogenesis, wherein its abnormal expression regulates tumor cell proliferation. However, the expression and role of FOXG1 in lung cancer remain largely unknown. This study investigated the clinical significance, expression, and role of FOXG1 in lung cancer. We found that FOXG1 was highly expressed in lung cancer tissues. MTT, CCK-8 and colony formation assays showed that FOXG1 overexpression could enhance the proliferation of A549 lung cancer cells. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that FOXG1 promoted the cell cycle and suppressed cell apoptosis. Additionally, the expression levels of PTEN, phosphorylated AKT, mTOR, p53, and Bax were significantly altered in response to changes in FOXG1 expression, indicating that FOXG1 regulated the PI3K pathway. Furthermore, in the xenograft mouse model, the upregulated FOXG1 expression strongly promoted tumor growth. In conclusion, these results suggested that FOXG1 was a critical regulator of the proliferation of lung cancer cells and enhanced tumor growth in vivo.

Abstract
Dark matter elastic scattering off nuclei can result in the excitation and ionization of the recoiling atom through the so-called Migdal effect. The energy deposition from the ionization electron adds to the energy deposited by the recoiling nuclear system and allows for the detection of interactions of sub-GeV/c^{2} mass dark matter. We present new constraints for sub-GeV/c^{2} dark matter using the dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber of the DarkSide-50 experiment with an exposure of (12 306±184) kg d. The analysis is based on the ionization signal alone and significantly enhances the sensitivity of DarkSide-50, enabling sensitivity to dark matter with masses down to 40 MeV/c^{2}. Furthermore, it sets the most stringent upper limit on the spin independent dark matter nucleon cross section for masses below 3.6 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
We present a search for dark matter particles with sub-GeV/c^{2} masses whose interactions have final state electrons using the DarkSide-50 experiment's (12 306±184) kg d low-radioactivity liquid argon exposure. By analyzing the ionization signals, we exclude new parameter space for the dark matter-electron cross section σ[over ¯]_{e}, the axioelectric coupling constant g_{Ae}, and the dark photon kinetic mixing parameter κ. We also set the first dark matter direct-detection constraints on the mixing angle |U_{e4}|^{2} for keV/c^{2} sterile neutrinos.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In both the epidemiological and legal context, the causal attribution of asbestos-related lung diseases requires retrospective exposure assessment (REA). AIMS To assess the correlation between the retrospective assessment of occupational and anthropogenic environmental exposure to asbestos and its content in the lung tissue. METHODS Based on the available exposure information, a team of occupational physicians retrospectively assessed cumulative exposure to asbestos in 24 subjects who died of asbestos-related diseases. The asbestos lung content was analysed using analytical scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS). The Log10 asbestos fibre count in the autoptic samples was predicted as a function of the Log10 estimated cumulative exposure using univariate regression analysis. RESULTS The median count of asbestos fibres by grams of dry weight (ff/gdw) in the lung tissue was 81 339 (range 0-2 135 849.06); it was 287 144 (range 0-2 135 849.06) among the occupationally exposed, and 29 671 (range 0-116 891) among the subjects who only had anthropogenic environmental and/or household exposure. Amphiboles, and particularly amosite (52%) and crocidolite (43%), were detected in all the study subjects. Chrysotile was not detected in any of the samples. Overall, the retrospective estimate of lifetime cumulative exposure to asbestos showed a moderate correlation with the total asbestos fibre count in the autoptic lung, with the regression model explaining 38-55% of the total variance. CONCLUSIONS Detailed information on occupational, environmental and household exposure circumstances would be indispensable for experienced industrial hygienists and/or occupational physicians to reliably assess past exposure to amphiboles or mixed types of asbestos.

Abstract
Cutaneous adnexal tumors (ATs) encompass a variegated group of hamartomas and benign or malignant tumors, originating from the hair follicle, sebaceous, eccrine or apocrine glands that may simulate other cutaneous neoplasms. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the spectrum of clinical and dermoscopic features of ATs, to better define these lesions and assist in differential diagnosis. We performed a two-step systematic search of literature in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception until September 4, 2020. In the first step we aimed to define histological variants of ATs with descriptions of dermoscopic criteria. The second step included a search for the name of each previously identified AT variants in the same databases adding "AND (epilum* or dermosc* or dermatosc*)". All study types in English-language reporting dermoscopic images of ATs were included. Collisions between ATs and other inflammatory or neoplastic skin lesions were excluded, with the exception of collisions with a sebaceous nevus. The protocol of this study was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021244677). In total, 206 articles met our inclusion criteria, encompassing 372 ATs in 365 patients. Most ATs were apocrine-eccrine (n=217, 58.3%, n=173 benign) with a prevalence of poromas (n=82), followed by follicular ATs (n=88, 23.7%, n=83 benign) and sebaceous ATs (n=67, 18.0%, n=49 benign). Most patients had a single AT lesion (320, 86.0%), while 42 (11.3%) had multiple ATs. A syndrome causing multiple ATs was identified in 15 patients. Histopathological analysis revealed 82% benign (n= 305) and 18.0% malignant (n=67). ATs were classified according to their ability to mimic 4 groups of more common skin tumors: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanocytic lesions and benign cutaneous lesions. Moreover, we have highlighted the ability of malignant variants of ATs to simulate benign skin lesions. This systematic review offers a comprehensive overview of the common clinical and dermoscopic features of follicular, sebaceous and apocrine-eccrine ATs and details possible differential dermoscopic features.

Abstract
Dark matter with Planck-scale mass (≃10^{19} GeV/c^{2}) arises in well-motivated theories and could be produced by several cosmological mechanisms. A search for multiscatter signals from supermassive dark matter was performed with a blind analysis of data collected over a 813 d live time with DEAP-3600, a 3.3 t single-phase liquid argon-based detector at SNOLAB. No candidate signals were observed, leading to the first direct detection constraints on Planck-scale mass dark matter. Leading limits constrain dark matter masses between 8.3×10^{6} and 1.2×10^{19} GeV/c^{2}, and ^{40}Ar-scattering cross sections between 1.0×10^{-23} and 2.4×10^{-18} cm^{2}. These results are interpreted as constraints on composite dark matter models with two different nucleon-to-nuclear cross section scalings.

Abstract
The DEAP-3600 detector searches for the scintillation signal from dark matter particles scattering on a 3.3 tonne liquid argon target. The largest background comes from 39 Ar beta decays and is suppressed using pulse-shape discrimination (PSD). We use two types of PSD estimator: the prompt-fraction, which considers the fraction of the scintillation signal in a narrow and a wide time window around the event peak, and the log-likelihood-ratio, which compares the observed photon arrival times to a signal and a background model. We furthermore use two algorithms to determine the number of photons detected at a given time: (1) simply dividing the charge of each PMT pulse by the mean single-photoelectron charge, and (2) a likelihood analysis that considers the probability to detect a certain number of photons at a given time, based on a model for the scintillation pulse shape and for afterpulsing in the light detectors. The prompt-fraction performs approximately as well as the log-likelihood-ratio PSD algorithm if the photon detection times are not biased by detector effects. We explain this result using a model for the information carried by scintillation photons as a function of the time when they are detected.

Abstract
Background:Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis affecting large to medium-sized vessels. Cranial nerve lesions are frequently documented secondary to GCA, however peripheral nerves are rarely involved.Objectives:We present an unusual case of a GCA-associated isolated high median nerve palsy.Methods:Case report.Results:A 76 year old white British female presented in Spain with three weeks of frontotemporal headaches, mandibular claudication, photopsia and constitutional symptoms, followed by acute-onset right hand paresis and dysaesthesia. Acute-phase reactants were elevated. COVID-19 PCR was negative. Shortly after admission she developed acute bilateral anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy and tongue necrosis with autoamputation. Temporal artery ultrasound and biopsy confirmed GCA. PET-CT showed no evidence of a diffuse large-vessel vasculitis. She was repatriated to the UK for ongoing inpatient care. Upper limb neurophysiology two months later demonstrated an isolated right high median nerve lesion, with reduced median motor responses and absent sensory responses with denervation in extensor carpi radialis. Imaging excluded a central lesion. The timing of her symptoms suggested the lesion was secondary to GCA. Treatment was with tocilizumab, methotrexate and tapering corticosteroids, alongside PEG feeding and careful multi-disciplinary rehabilitation.Conclusion:We suggest there are two important learning points from this complex case. Firstly, peripheral nerve lesions can occur in GCA, although they are rare. A literature search identified a modest number of case reports of brachial plexus or lower cervical nerve lesions1,2. Neurologic manifestations in GCA are attributed to vasculitis of the vasa nervorum, or extension of inflammation from arteries to contiguous nerves1,2. The restriction of clinical involvement to the median nerve alone would appear to favour the former mechanism. Functional recovery of neurological deficits is typically partial at best.Secondly, this case highlights the difficulty faced by clinicians in recognising GCA and the importance of urgent treatment with glucocorticoids. The patient developed GCA during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic when Spain was the second-worst affected European country (5% seroprevalence; 95% CI 4.7-5.4)3. The partial overlap in symptoms between GCA and COVID-19 (e.g. headache, pyrexia, malaise, elevated acute-phase reactants) can cause diagnostic confusion and treatment delay4. GCA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of older patients with suspected COVID-19, or the non-specifically unwell elderly patient.References:[1]Blaise S, et al.

Abstract
Background Dermoscopy and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) features of scalp melanoma according to lesion location and histopathology have not been fully investigated. Objectives To reveal dermoscopic and RCM features of scalp melanoma according to lesion location and histopathology. Methods We retrospectively retrieved images of suspicious, atypical excised, flat melanocytic lesions of the scalp, assessed on dermoscopy and RCM at five centres, from June 2007 to April 2020. Lesions were classified according to histopathological diagnoses of nevi, lentigo maligna melanoma (LM/LMM) or superficial spreading melanoma (SSM). Clinical, dermoscopic and RCM images were evaluated; LM/LMM and SSM subtypes were compared through multivariate analysis. Results Two hundred forty‐seven lesions were included. In situ melanomas were mostly LM (81.3%), while invasive melanomas were mostly SSM (75.8%). Male sex, baldness and chronic sun‐damaged skin were associated with all types of melanomas and in particular with LM/LMM. LMs were mostly located in the vertex area and SSM in the frontal (OR: 8.8; P < 0.05, CI 95%) and temporal (OR: 16.7; P < 0.005, CI 95%) areas. The dermoscopy presence of pseudo‐network, pigmented rhomboidal structures, obliterated hair follicles and annular–granular pattern were associated with LM diagnoses, whereas bluish‐white veil was more typical of SSM. Observations on RCM of atypical roundish and dendritic cells in the epidermis were associated with SSM (42.4%) and dendritic cells with LM (62.5%) diagnoses. Folliculotropism on RCM was confirmed as a typical sign of LM. Conclusions Flat scalp melanomas reveal specific dermoscopic and RCM features according to histopathologic type and scalp location.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Melanocytic lesions with eccentric hyperpigmentation (EH), even though without other dermatoscopic features of melanoma, are often excised. OBJECTIVE Aiming to understand whether the EH in a pigmented lesion is an accurate criterion of malignancy, we evaluated the capability of two evaluators, with different expertise, to correctly diagnose a melanoma when analysing a given lesion in toto versus a partial analysis, with only the EH or the non-hyperpigmented portion (non-EH) visible. METHODS Dermatoscopic images of 240 lesions (107 melanomas and 133 nevi) typified by EH were selected. Facial, acral, mucosal lesions and lesions showing clear-cut features of melanoma (except for atypical network) were excluded. Clinical and dermoscopic features (main pattern and numbers of colours) were described for all cases. Each image was split in two through a software so that only the EH or the non-EH was visible. Two blinded evaluators examined three sets of images, two with customized images and one with the non-modified ones: they were asked to give a dichotomous diagnosis (melanoma or nevus) for each image. RESULTS Melanomas were significantly more frequently typified by colour variegation (3 colours in 44.8% and 4 colours in 41.1% of cases) and atypical network (88.1% in the EH). No significant differences in diagnostic accuracy emerged between the two evaluators. Sensitivity improved in the evaluation of the whole lesions (mean sensitivity 89.7%) in comparison with the evaluation of EH or non-EH alone (72.7-62.6%). Specificity increased when evaluating the EH (54.1%). Positive predictive value (PPV) and likelihood ratio (LR+) of EH resulted 52.3% and 1.4, meaning that in one case out of two with EH is a melanoma. CONCLUSIONS Lesions with EH are challenging, regardless of dermoscopic experience. The EH is a robust criterion for malignancy, since the evaluation of the whole lesion, through an intralesional comparative approach, increases sensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy significantly improves melanoma diagnosis as compared to clinical/dermoscopic examination alone. Several confocal criteria have been described allowing to differentiate melanoma from nevi; by combining different criteria, three pure confocal scores (Pellacani 2005, Segura 2009 and Pellacani 2012) and one mixed dermoscopic/confocal score (Borsari 2018) were constructed. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to externally validate and compare the performance of these confocal scores. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled excised melanocytic lesions which underwent confocal examination in a 2-year period. Lesions located on the face and acral sites were excluded. Both dermoscopic and confocal criteria considered in the four scores were evaluated by experts. Subsequently, specificity and sensitivity levels for each score were calculated, together with the positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios; also, receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed. RESULTS A total of 389 patients with 422 lesions were retrospectively enrolled, of which 162 (38.4%) were melanomas and 260 (61.6%) were nevi (189 common and 71 Spitz/Reed nevi). The highest sensitivity levels were recorded for Segura 2009 with cut-off ≥-1 (92.0%), while Pellacani 2005 with cut-off ≥5 achieved the highest specificity (69.6%). The score by Borsari et al. showed the highest levels of positive and negative predictive values (59.8% and 91.5%) and likelihood ratios (2.4 and 0.1) as well as the highest area under the curve values (0.76; 95% CI 0.72-0.81; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS High levels of accuracy were found for each of the four considered scores. No differences were found among scores in confirming melanoma diagnosis when positive; however, the score by Borsari 2018 was the best in excluding melanoma diagnosis when negative.

Abstract
We present new constraints on sub-GeV dark-matter particles scattering off electrons based on 6780.0 kg d of data collected with the DarkSide-50 dual-phase argon time projection chamber. This analysis uses electroluminescence signals due to ionized electrons extracted from the liquid argon target. The detector has a very high trigger probability for these signals, allowing for an analysis threshold of three extracted electrons, or approximately 0.05 keVee. We calculate the expected recoil spectra for dark matter-electron scattering in argon and, under the assumption of momentum-independent scattering, improve upon existing limits from XENON10 for dark-matter particles with masses between 30 and 100 MeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
We present the results of a search for dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the mass range below 20 GeV/c^{2} using a target of low-radioactivity argon with a 6786.0 kg d exposure. The data were obtained using the DarkSide-50 apparatus at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. The analysis is based on the ionization signal, for which the DarkSide-50 time projection chamber is fully efficient at 0.1 keVee. The observed rate in the detector at 0.5 keVee is about 1.5 event/keVee/kg/d and is almost entirely accounted for by known background sources. We obtain a 90% C.L. exclusion limit above 1.8 GeV/c^{2} for the spin-independent cross section of dark matter WIMPs on nucleons, extending the exclusion region for dark matter below previous limits in the range 1.8-6 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
In this work we evaluated the efficacy of stem cell collection with Large Volume Procedures. (LVP), and analysed the importance of the CD34+ cell precount in promoting the collection of a sufficient number of CD34+ cells for transplantation, using the Univariate Logistic Regression analysis. Eighty-nine leukapheresis were performed in 49 patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors, mobilized with chemotherapy plus Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF). For each procedure 15.8 liters of blood were processed. The median value of Nucleated Cells (NC) and CD34+ cells precount was respectively 8.29 × 109/ml (range 1.13÷45.4) and 43.08 × 103/ml (range 1.06÷795.2). Results show the capability of LVP to collect large quantities of hemopoietic progenitors with a median CD34+ cell total yield of 215.02 × 106 (range 5.03÷2210). The yields per patients’ body weight were: CD34+ cells 3.23 × 106/kg (range 0.081÷41.58). The regression analysis between blood cell precounts and collection yields gave the following correlations: the CD34+ cell precount correlates with CD34+ yield (r = 0.78 p < 0.00) and with CD34+ cell yield/kg (r = 0.76 p < 0.00). The number of CD34+ cells processed correlated with the number of CD34+ cells collected/kg (r = 0.83 p < 0.000). To investigate the importance of CD 34+ cell precount in promoting CD34+ cell yields ≥2.5 × 106/kg we performed a Univariate Logistic Regression analysis that showed in our patients a probability of collecting ≥2.5 × 106 CD34+/kg that rose from 0.6 to 0.95 for CD 34+ precounts that oscillated from 30 to 40 × 103 CD34+ cells/ml, respectively. The Univariate Logistic Regression gave a probability of collecting ≥2.5 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg that oscillated between 0.64÷0.98 for values of CD34+ cells processed from 6 × 106/kg to 8 × 106/kg, p <0.000. Sixty-three percent of patients reached the target dose of 2.5 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg with only one LVP. Until now 12 patients have been transplanted and all have had a prompt and complete lasting recovery. These results confirm the efficacy of LVP in harvesting hemopoietic progenitors and their ability in reconstituting hemopoiesis of transplanted patients, enabling the estimation of CD34+ precounts and CD34+ cells processed values, highly predictive for the collection of ≥2.5 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg. Furthermore, the Logistic Model suggests that the best strategy to plan a successful CD34+ cell collection procedure is to identify for each patient the amount of CD34+ cells/kg to be processed rather than the fixed processing of 3÷5 blood volumes in all patients.

Abstract
From January 1996 until now, thirty-eight PBSC procedures were carried out on 20 patients suffering from NHL, mobilized by polichemotherapy regimens plus recombinant human Granulocyte-Growth Factor (rhG-CSF). Patients were enrolled in PBSC procedures using Dideco Excel (group A) and Cobe Spectra v.4.7 (group B) blood cell separators. Twelve patients were enrolled in group A (6 males and 6 females, median age 33) and 9 patients in group B (5 males and 4 females, median age 55). The mean White Blood Cell (WBC) and Mononuclear Cells Fraction (MNC) peripheral blood counts were not statistically different in either group and neither were blood CD34+ cell peripheral counts. CD34+ cell peripheral value was predictive of the CD34+ yield while mean values of harvested CD34+ cells were not significantly different. CD34+ cell efficiences were statistically the same. The CD34+ cell purity of the apheresis harvest was statistically different between the two groups (group A = 3.0 ± 2.2%; group B = 1 ± 0.9%) p = 0.001. High CD34+ cell yields were observed in both groups which confirms that both blood cell separators are able to harvest hematopoietic progenitor cells from peripheral blood.

Abstract
PurposeTo investigate long-term visual acuity (VA) outcomes and complication rates in vitrectomised eyes undergoing anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) insertion.Patients and methodsA single-centre, retrospective case series including all patients who had undergone ACIOL placement at the time of vitrectomy surgery or having had previous vitrectomy, between January 2007 and January 2013. Patients were identified using an electronic database and paper casefile notes were analysed for all patients. Patients were excluded if they had <3 months follow-up.ResultsTwo hundred and seventy-one patients were included in the analysis. Mean follow-up was 27 months. One hundred and forty-eight patients were vitrectomised before ACIOL placement. One hundred and twenty-three patients underwent vitrectomy at the time of ACIOL placement. Mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before ACIOL placement was 1.27 LogMar (SD 0.95). Mean BCVA at final follow-up was 0.51 LogMar (SD 0.66) (paired-sample T-test P<0.001). Forty (15%) patients developed postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO). Eighty-seven (32%) patients had an intraocular pressure (IOP) rise acutely post ACIOL insertion. Fifteen (6%) patients developed corneal decompensation. Five subsequently required corneal grafting. Sixteen patients had ACIOL displacement or instability requiring further surgery.ConclusionsACIOL insertion after vitrectomy is effective. Ninety-two per cent of patients maintained or gained VA, comparable to previous studies of ACIOL insertion post complicated cataract surgery. Raised IOP was the most frequent complication: 61 patients were on topical therapy at most recent follow-up. CMO tended to be acute. Corneal decompensation was infrequent.

Abstract
Proper brain function depends on correct neuronal migration during development, which is known to be regulated by cytoskeletal dynamics and cell-cell adhesion. Myosin X (Myo10), an uncharacteristic member of the myosin family, is an important regulator of cytoskeleton that modulates cell motilities in many different cellular contexts. We previously reported that Myo10 was required for neuronal migration in the developing cerebral cortex, but the underlying mechanism was still largely unknown. Here, we found that knockdown of Myo10 expression disturbed the adherence of migrating neurons to radial glial fibers through abolishing surface Neuronal cadherin (N-cadherin) expression, thereby impaired neuronal migration in the developmental cortex. Next, we found Myo10 interacted with N-cadherin cellular domain through its FERM domain. Furthermore, we found knockdown of Myo10 disrupted N-cadherin subcellular distribution and led to localization of N-cadherin into Golgi apparatus and endosomal sorting vesicle. Taking together, these results reveal a novel mechanism of Myo10 interacting with N-cadherin and regulating its cell-surface expression, which is required for neuronal adhesion and migration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated fasting triglyceride is often associated with metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common form of chronic liver disease. On the other hand, as liver disease progresses, patients may develop hepatocellular dysfunction that impairs triglyceride production. AIM To test the hypothesis that lower fasting triglyceride levels may paradoxically indicate more advanced liver disease. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of 11 947 adults aged 20 years or older without chronic viral hepatitis from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2010 was performed to analyze the relationships between fasting triglyceride levels and five validated non-invasive indices of liver fibrosis, including Fibrosis 4 Score (FIB4), NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS), Ast-Platelet Ration Index, AST/ALT ratio and BARD. RESULTS Low-fasting triglyceride levels were consistently associated with elevated liver fibrosis indices. Individuals in the lowest quintile of triglycerides (TG) had an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 3.0 (95% CI, 1.7-5.2; P < 0.001) for advanced fibrosis estimated by FIB4 score and OR of 1.8 (95% Cl, 1.2-2.7; P = 0.009) estimated by NFS, compared to individuals in the highest quintile. This association remained highly significant when restricted to individuals with abnormal LFTs from suspected NAFLD. This inverse relationship was continuous, and more pronounced among men and whites (P interaction <0.001 and 0.008 respectively), but not modified by age or body mass index. In addition, fasting TG had a stronger, more direct association with liver fibrosis indices than did albumin or total bilirubin. CONCLUSIONS Fasting triglyceride levels were inversely associated with liver fibrosis indicators in American adults, especially among white men. Our findings suggest that sequential lipid measurements may serve as a useful disease marker in the management of chronic liver disease patients.

Abstract
Myosin X (Myo10), an untraditional member of myosin superfamily, is characterized as an actin-based molecular motor, which plays a critical role in diverse cellular motile events. Previous research by our group has found that Myo10 influenced neuronal radial migration in developing neocortex, but the underlying mechanism is still largely unknown. In this study, we found that knockdown of endogenous Myo10 in a normal gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuronal cell line transfected with the large T antigen (NLT) induced the impairment of cell motility and orientation. In the wound healing assay, with the Golgi complex staining to display cell polarity, Myo10 knockdown cells were randomly oriented compared to the control. Furthermore, suppressing the expression of Myo10 decreased the ability of cell-matrix adhesion. N-cadherin, a calcium-dependent classical cell adhesion molecule, rescued the migration deficiency caused by Myo10 knockdown in cell aggregates and collagen gel assay. These results suggest that Myo10 is required for neurogenic cell migration through N-cadherin mediated cell adhesion.

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are rapidly growing worldwide epidemics with major health consequences. Various human-based studies have confirmed that both genetic and environmental factors (particularly high-caloric diets and sedentary lifestyle) greatly contribute to human T2DM. Interactions between obesity, insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction result in human T2DM, but the mechanisms regulating the interplay among these impairments remain unclear. Rodent models of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity have been used widely to study human obesity and T2DM. With >9000 publications on PubMed over the past decade alone, many aspects of rodent T2DM have been elucidated; however, correlation to human obesity/diabetes remains poor. This review investigates the reasons for this translational discrepancy by critically evaluating rodent HFD models. Dietary modification in rodents appears to have limited translatable benefit for understanding and treating human obesity and diabetes due—at least in part—to divergent dietary compositions, species/strain and gender variability, inconsistent disease penetrance, severity and duration and lack of resemblance to human obesogenic pathophysiology. Therefore future research efforts dedicated to acquiring translationally relevant data—specifically human data, rather than findings based on rodent studies—would accelerate our understanding of disease mechanisms and development of therapeutics for human obesity/T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has issued multiple guidance for the first-line management of patients with lung cancer and recommends different combinations of chemotherapy treatments. This review provides a synthesis of clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness evidence supporting current guidance. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of first-line chemotherapy currently licensed in Europe and recommended by NICE, for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). DATA SOURCES Three electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and The Cochrane Library) were searched from 2001 to August 2010. REVIEW METHODS Trials that compared first-line chemotherapy currently licensed in Europe and recommended by NICE in chemotherapy-naive adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC were included. Data on key outcomes including, but not limited to, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events (AEs) were extracted. For the assessment of cost-effectiveness, outcomes included incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. Analyses were performed for three NSCLC subpopulations: patients with predominantly squamous disease, patients with predominantly non-squamous disease and patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive (M+) status. Meta-analysis and mixed-treatment comparison methodology were conducted where appropriate. RESULTS Twenty-three trials involving > 11,000 patients in total met the inclusion criteria. The quality of the trials was poor. In the case of patients with squamous disease, there were no statistically significant differences in OS between treatment regimes. The mixed-treatment comparison demonstrated that, in patients with non-squamous disease, pemetrexed (Alimta®, Eli Lilly and Company; PEM) + platinum (PLAT) increases OS statistically significantly compared with gemcitabine (Gemzar®, Eli Lilly and Company; GEM) + PLAT [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.85; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74 to 0.98] and that paclitaxel (Abraxane®, Celgene Corporation; PAX) + PLAT increases OS statistically significantly compared with docetaxel (Taxotere®, Sanofi-aventis; DOC) + PLAT (HR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.93). None of the comparisons found any statistically significant differences in OS among patients with EGFR M+ status. Direct meta-analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in PFS with gefitinib (Iressa®, AstraZeneca; GEF) compared with DOC + PLAT and PAX + PLAT (HR = 0.49; 95% CI 0.33 to 0.73; and HR = 0.38; 95% CI 0.24 to 0.60, respectively). No papers related to UK decision-making were identified. A de novo economic model was developed. Using list prices (British National Formulary), cisplatin (CIS) doublets are preferable to carboplatin doublets, but this is reversed if electronic market information tool prices are used, in which case drug administration costs then become more important than drug acquisition costs. For patients with both squamous and non-squamous disease, moving from low to moderate willingness-to-pay thresholds, the preferred drugs are PAX → GEM → DOC. However, in patients with non-squamous disease, PEM + CIS resulted in increased OS and would be considered cost-effective up to £35,000 per QALY gained. For patients with EGFR M+, use of GEF compared with PAX or DOC yields very high incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. Vinorelbine (Navelbine®, Pierre Fabre Pharmaceutical Inc.) was not shown to be cost-effective in any comparison. LIMITATIONS Poor trial quality and a lack of evidence for all drug comparisons complicated and limited the data analysis. Outcomes and adverse effects are not consistently combined across the trials. Few trials reported quality-of-life data despite their relevance to patients and clinicians. CONCLUSIONS The results of this comprehensive review are unique to NSCLC and will assist clinicians to make decisions regarding the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC. The design of future lung cancer trials needs to reflect the influence of factors such as histology, genetics and the new prognostic biomarkers that are currently being identified. In addition, trials will need to be adequately powered so as to be able to test for statistically significant clinical effectiveness differences within patient populations. New initiatives are in place to record detailed information on the precise chemotherapy (and targeted chemotherapy) regimens being used, together with data on age, cell type, stage of disease and performance status, allowing for very detailed observational audits of management and outcomes at a population level. It would be useful if these initiatives could be expanded to include the collection of health economics data. FUNDING The National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment.
