Abstract
Cancer is an unprecedented proliferation of cells leading to abnormalities in differentiation and maturation. Treatment of primary and metastatic cancer is challenging. In addition to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapies have been conventionally used; however, they suffer from severe toxicity and non-specificity. Immunotherapy, the science of programming the body's own defense system against cancer has gained tremendous attention in the last few decades. However, partial immunogenic stimulation, premature degradation and inability to activate dendritic and helper T cells has resulted in limited clinical success. The era of nanomedicine has brought about several breakthroughs in various pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. Hereby, we review and discuss the interplay of tumor microenvironment (TME) and the immunological cascade and how they can be employed to develop nanoparticle-based cancer vaccines and immunotherapies. Nanoparticles composed of lipids, polymers and inorganic materials contain useful properties suitable for vaccine development. Proteinaceous vaccines derived from mammalian viruses, bacteriophages and plant viruses also have unique advantages due to their immunomodulation capabilities. This review accounts for all such considerations. Additionally, we explore how attributes of nanotechnology can be utilized to develop successful nanomedicine-based vaccines for cancer therapy. This article is categorized under: Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
The present paper aims to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art mechanical surface modification technologies and their response in terms of surface roughness, surface texture, and microstructural change due to cold work-hardening, affecting the surface integrity and corrosion resistance of different Mg alloys. The process mechanics of five main treatment strategies, namely, shot peening, surface mechanical attrition treatment, laser shock peening, ball burnishing, and ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification, were discussed. The influence of the process parameters on plastic deformation and degradation characteristics was thoroughly reviewed and compared from the perspectives of surface roughness, grain modification, hardness, residual stress, and corrosion resistance over short- and long-term periods. Potential and advances in new and emerging hybrid and in-situ surface treatment strategies were comprehensively eluded and summarised. This review takes a holistic approach to identifying the fundamentals, pros, and cons of each process, thereby contributing to bridging the current gap and challenge in surface modification technology for Mg alloys. To conclude, a brief summary and future outlook resulting from the discussion were presented. The findings would offer a useful insight and guide for researchers to focus on developing new surface treatment routes to resolve surface integrity and early degradation problems for successful application of biodegradable Mg alloy implants.

Abstract
Background: Honey has a lot of reputation because of its supposed medicinal properties. In this study, Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), sugars, and Fructose/Glucose ratio of honey in Bangladesh were assessed for adulteration and authenticity evaluation.
Methods: Seventy honey samples collected from different districts of Bangladesh were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for HMF content and sugar profile. The samples were prepared by using Carrez I and Carrez II prior to injecting into HPLC. The samples were then filtered through syringe filter and taken in 1.5 ml vial for injecting into the HPLC system.
Results: HMF values were ranging from 1.41 mg/kg to 2,063.90 mg/kg. The Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) was found 0.10 mg/kg and 0.33 mg/kg with R2=0.9994. The average values of fructose, glucose, and sucrose were in the range of 14.75-52.44%, 8.19-42.63%, and 0.10-21.12%, respectively. From validation parameters, LOD values for fructose, glucose, and sucrose were 0.003, 0.008, and 0.004%, respectively; and LOQ values were 0.01, 0.028, and 0.015%, respectively with an excellent linearity with R2 for fructose=1.0, glucose=0.9999, and sucrose=1.0.
Conclusion: Some samples had higher HMF content which may be due to the storage time was increased and improper processing with high temperature or adulteration by High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), sugar cane syrup, rice syrups or rice molasses. The sugar profiles showed that the most of honey samples were nectar honeys.

Abstract
The consumption of fruit juices may affect both positively and negatively the health status
of the consumers. When processed under a hygienic condition it could improve
consumers' health by preventing various types of diseases. On the contrary, in absence of
good manufacturing practices considering the nutritional affluence of fruit juices makes
the product good middling for microbial growth and vehicle of foodborne pathogens. The
current study was undertaken to determine the microbiological traits of the vended fruit
juices collected from different areas of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. A total of twenty juice
samples particularly of four categories such as lemon, sugarcane, malta and watermelon
were analyzed for the detection of total viable bacterial load, coliforms, and some other
pathogenic bacteria. In these samples, total viable bacteria were within the array between
104
-107CFU/mL. Total coliforms (both Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp.) were found
in 50% of the samples, alarmingly all exceeding the standard bacteriological limits
(1.0×104 CFU/mL) recommended for fruit juices. Among the pathogenic bacteria
Salmonella spp. and Vibrio spp. were detected. All these bacterial isolates were detected
through standard cultural, microscopic and biochemical tests. A varying degree of drug
resistance among the isolates was observed against Amoxycillin, Ampicillin,
Azithromycin, Erythromycin, Imipenem and Vancomycin. Overall, the study indicated
that the quality of vendor fresh juices was not up to the mark. That’s why there is a
continuous need for the microbiological assessment of these popular ready-to-drink
products otherwise they may create potential health hazards.

Abstract
This study investigated the perforation resistance behaviour of metal-plastic laminates (MPLs) when they are indented by different nose shapes. Aluminium (Al) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene) layers were bonded with a suitable adhesive in an alternative manner to prepare bilayer and trilayer MPL configurations. Quasi-static perforation experiments were performed with hemispherical, conical and blunt indenters. The effects of nose shape, layer configuration and adhesive on the force-deformation profile, perforation resistance capacity and failure mechanisms were evaluated. The results indicate that for a monolithic layer, the blunt indenter showed the highest perforation energy capacity. The conical and blunt indenters facing Al backed by HDPE gave higher perforation energy. The hemispherical indenter facing HDPE backed by Al was found to be more effective in perforation resistance. Trilayer Al-HDPE-Al showed higher perforation resistance than HDPE-Al-HDPE. Circumferential cracking, radial symmetric cracking and shear plugging were the main failure modes for Al under hemispherical, conical and blunt indenters, respectively. The adhesive contributed to an increase in the perforation energy and peak force to failure in laminates. The adhesive was shown to detach from the Al surface after Al fracturing through crack propagation, and this effect was more pronounced when the indenter faced HDPE at the front of the laminate.

Abstract
Background Knowledge about the causes and outcomes of pediatric cardiac arrest in the emergency department is limited. The aim of our study was to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of pediatric cardiac arrest in the emergency department (EDCA) and inpatient (IPCA) settings in the United States using a large database designed to provide nationwide estimates. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS), a database that includes both ED and inpatient encounters. The NEDS was analyzed for episodes of cardiac arrest between 2016-2018 in patients aged ≤18 years. Patients with cardiac arrest were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision codes. Results A total of 15,348 pediatric cardiac arrest events with cardiopulmonary resuscitation were recorded, of which 13,239 had EDCA and 2,109 had IPCA. A lower survival rate of 19% was observed for EDCA compared to 40.4% for IPCA. While more than half of the EDCA events had no associated diagnoses, trauma (15.6%), respiratory failure (5%), asphyxiation (2.7%), acidosis (2.4%), and ventricular arrhythmia (1.4%) were associated with the remaining events. In comparison, the most frequently associated diagnoses for IPCA were respiratory failure (75.8%), acidosis (43.9%), acute kidney injury (27.2%), trauma (27.1%), and sepsis (22.5%). Conclusions Survival rates for EDCA were less than half of that for IPCA. The low survival rates along with the distinctive characteristics of EDCA events suggest the need for further research in this area to identify remediable factors and improve survival.

Abstract
Edge loading leads to high contact stress at the rim of the contact. This is due to less radial clearance and excessive lateral head displacement which potentially causes implant failure. The ceramic implants have a high possibility of fracture compared with metallic implants because of above-said reasons. The present study focuses on the investigation of contact stress for the combined effect of radial clearance (0.05-0.75 mm) and micro-lateralisation conditions (1-2.5 mm) for Metal-on-Metal (M-o-M) and Ceramic-on-Ceramic (C-o-C) pairs. The contact stresses are analysed for round corners of the acetabulum cup geometry for the above-said combinations with four different arc radii (1- 4mm). Finite element modeling (FEM) of femur head with half of the acetabulum cup is considered for the current study. Contact stress values obtained for 2 mm and 4 mm round corner geometry are quite low when compared with 1 and 3 mm round corners even for larger radial clearances and high lateral head displacements. The study also showed von Mises stress value obtained for M-o-M pair is quite low for 4 mm round corner for larger radial clearance and high lateral head displacements. Similarly, in C-o-C pair the compressive stress values are minimum for 4 mm round corner. Since the stress values were minimum for 4 mm round corner geometry, it clearly indicates that even edge loading occurs and the round corner geometry would be very helpful in reducing the stress for both M-o-M and C-o-C pairs.

Abstract
Secondary primary malignancies within the head and neck region are well documented. Within this group, synchronous tumours with an index oral cancer are usually found in the oropharyngeal or laryngeal sites. We present a rare case of an index squamous cell carcinoma in the tongue with a synchronous primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma. We discuss the challenges associated with investigation, diagnosis and subsequent management. Treatment aims remain the same; namely, eradicating the disease using surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or a combination of these modalities. It is important to acknowledge the unpredictable pattern of tumour presentation and the need to maintain a high index of suspicion.

Abstract
Heme is an essential cofactor for enzymes of the electron transport chain (ETC) and ATP synthesis in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Heme also binds to and destabilizes Bach1, a transcription regulator that controls expression of several groups of genes important for glycolysis, ETC, and metastasis of cancer cells. Heme synthesis can thus affect pathways through which cells generate energy and precursors for anabolism. In addition, increased heme synthesis may trigger oxidative stress. Since many cancers are characterized by a high glycolytic rate regardless of oxygen availability, targeting glycolysis, ETC, and OXPHOS have emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy. Here, we report that enhancing heme synthesis through exogenous supplementation of heme precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) suppresses oxidative metabolism as well as glycolysis and significantly reduces proliferation of both ovarian and breast cancer cells. ALA supplementation also destabilizes Bach1 and inhibits migration of both cell types. Our data indicate that the underlying mechanisms differ in ovarian and breast cancer cells, but involve destabilization of Bach1, AMPK activation, and induction of oxidative stress. In addition, there appears to be an inverse correlation between the activity of oxidative metabolism and ALA sensitivity. Promoting heme synthesis by ALA supplementation may thus represent a promising new anti-cancer strategy, particularly in cancers that are sensitive to altered redox signaling, or in combination with strategies that target the antioxidant systems or metabolic weaknesses of cancer cells.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (autism) is a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by early childhood-onset impairments in communication and social interaction alongside restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests. This review summarizes recent developments in human genetics research in autism, complemented by epigenetic and transcriptomic findings. The clinical heterogeneity of autism is mirrored by a complex genetic architecture involving several types of common and rare variants, ranging from point mutations to large copy number variants, and either inherited or spontaneous (de novo). More than 100 risk genes have been implicated by rare, often de novo, potentially damaging mutations in highly constrained genes. These account for substantial individual risk but a small proportion of the population risk. In contrast, most of the genetic risk is attributable to common inherited variants acting en masse, each individually with small effects. Studies have identified a handful of robustly associated common variants. Different risk genes converge on the same mechanisms, such as gene regulation and synaptic connectivity. These mechanisms are also implicated by genes that are epigenetically and transcriptionally dysregulated in autism. Major challenges to understanding the biological mechanisms include substantial phenotypic heterogeneity, large locus heterogeneity, variable penetrance, and widespread pleiotropy. Considerable increases in sample sizes are needed to better understand the hundreds or thousands of common and rare genetic variants involved. Future research should integrate common and rare variant research, multi-omics data including genomics, epigenomics, and transcriptomics, and refined phenotype assessment with multidimensional and longitudinal measures.

Abstract
The multifactorial nature of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has led to increased efforts in establishing various risk factors. Well-known environmental risk factors for HNSCC include tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, immunosuppression, and more recently human papillomavirus infection. Familial clustering has been observed in cancers occurring at other sites, but not so much with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) without exposure to shared environmental risk factors. An unusual case of identical twins who presented with OSCC involving an identical site and exhibiting similar histological features is reported here. The two patients underwent identical surgery with curative intent, culminating in good outcomes. It appears that no other cases of identical twins with a similar presentation in time, anatomical site, and histopathology have been reported in the literature.

Abstract
Wear and wear-induced debris is a significant factor in causing failure in implants. Reducing contact pressure by using a textured surface between the femoral head and acetabular cup is crucial to improving the implant’s life. This study presented the effect of surface texturing as dimples on the wear evolution of total hip arthroplasty. It was implemented by developing finite element analysis from the prediction model without dimples and with bottom profile dimples of flat, drill, and ball types. Simulations were carried out by performing 3D physiological loading of the hip joint under normal walking conditions. A geometry update was initiated based on the patient’s daily routine activities. Our results showed that the addition of dimples reduced contact pressure and wear. The bottom profile dimples of the ball type had the best ability to reduce wear relative to the other types, reducing cumulative linear wear by 24.3% and cumulative volumetric wear by 31% compared to no dimples. The findings demonstrated that surface texturing with appropriate dimple bottom geometry on a bearing surface is able to extend the lifetime of hip implants.

Abstract
Background and objective The efficacy of vancomycin vs. teicoplanin for the successful treatment of febrile neutropenia (FN) has been a subject of debate in the medical community. In light of this, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare these two medications in the treatment of patients with FN in terms of treatment success and adverse events. Data source and study design We conducted a search of major electronic databases [MEDLINE (PubMed, Ovid), Google Scholar, clinicaltrial.org], which returned 10 studies with 1,630 patients (vancomycin: 788; teicoplanin: 842) for analysis. An unadjusted odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated for all studies, as well as separate sub-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective studies. Results The average age of patients ranged from 37 to 57 years in the vancomycin group and 31 to 57 years in the teicoplanin group (n=9 studies). Over half of the patients in both groups were male (vancomycin: 55.6%; teicoplanin: 57.7%; n=9 studies). Both overall evaluation and sub-analyses revealed that both treatments were comparable in terms of treatment success, nephrotoxicity, and red man syndrome. The vancomycin group was more likely to develop skin rashes (OR: 2.49; 95% CI: 1.28-4.83). The heterogeneity for all analyses ranged from 0-47.4%. Conclusion Our analysis showed that vancomycin and teicoplanin showed comparable results in terms of successful treatment of FN. Adverse effects such as nephrotoxicity and red man syndrome were also comparable between the two treatment groups.

Abstract
The fast degradation and consequent loss of mechanical integrity is a major problem of biodegradable Mg alloy, which limits its clinical viability. This paper presents the influence of a synergistic approach combining deep ball burnishing and hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on biomechanical integrity, degradation and immune response of Mg alloy (AZ31B). The burnishing resulted in smooth surface topography, increased hardness from 0.87 to 1.45 GPa and induced microstructural disturbances with deformation twins/twin bands, which enabled formation of a dense and compact platelet-like crystals HA coating of 110 μm thickness. Compared to the untreated and burnished specimens, the burnished + HA coated surface provided remarkably higher corrosion resistance as indicated by lower corrosion current density and smaller mass loss. HA coating and surface integrity enhancement by burnishing were predominantly responsible for improved corrosion resistance. HA coating on the burnished surface exhibited hydrophilic properties and adequate bonding strength. While the modified surfaces promoted cell growth, the burnished + HA surface outperformed in exhibiting less pro-inflammatory and high anti-inflammatory cytokines, demonstrating that the treated surfaces were not posing any threat to immune cells. The findings indicate that the synergistic surface treatment can be a viable means to enhance corrosion resistance and immune response of Mg alloys implants.

Abstract
Regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for peripheral tolerance and rely on the transcription factor (TF) Foxp3 for their generation and function. Several other TFs are critical for the Treg cell program. We found that mice deficient in Bcl11b TF solely in Treg cells developed fatal autoimmunity, and Bcl11b-deficient Treg cells had severely altered function. Bcl11b KO Treg cells showed decreased functional marker levels in homeostatic conditions, inflammation, and tumors. Bcl11b controlled expression of essential Treg program genes at steady state and in inflammation. Bcl11b bound to genomic regulatory regions of Treg program genes in both human and mouse Treg cells, overlapping with Foxp3 binding; these genes showed altered chromatin accessibility in the absence of Bcl11b. Additionally, Bcl11b restrained myeloid and NK cell programs in Treg cells. Our study provides new mechanistic insights on the Treg cell program and identity control, with major implications for therapies in autoimmunity and cancer.

Abstract
Hole quality in drilling is considered a precursor for reliable and secure component assembly, ensuring product integrity and functioning service life. This paper aims to evaluate the influence of the key process parameters on drilling performance. A series of drilling tests with new TiN-coated high speed steel (HSS) bits are performed, while thrust force and torque are measured with the aid of an in-house built force dynamometer. The effect of process mechanics on hole quality, e.g., dimensional accuracy, burr formation, surface finish, is evaluated in relation to drill-bit wear and chip formation mechanism. Experimental results indicate that the feedrate which dictates the uncut chip thickness and material removal rate is the most dominant factor, significantly impacting force and hole quality. For a given spindle speed range, maximum increase of axial force and torque is 44.94% and 47.65%, respectively, when feedrate increases from 0.04 mm/rev to 0.08 mm/rev. Stable, jerk-free cutting at feedrate of as low as 0.04 mm/rev is shown to result in hole dimensional error of less than 2%. A low feedrate along with high spindle speed may be preferred. The underlying tool wear mechanism and progression needs to be taken into account when drilling a large number of holes. The findings of the paper clearly signify the importance and choice of drilling parameters and provide guidelines for manufacturing industries to enhance a part’s dimensional integrity and productivity.

Abstract
The Psychiatric Genomics Consortium-Posttraumatic Stress Disorder group (PGC-PTSD) combined genome-wide case-control molecular genetic data across 11 multiethnic studies to quantify PTSD heritability, to examine potential shared genetic risk with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder and to identify risk loci for PTSD. Examining 20 730 individuals, we report a molecular genetics-based heritability estimate (h2SNP) for European-American females of 29% that is similar to h2SNP for schizophrenia and is substantially higher than h2SNP in European-American males (estimate not distinguishable from zero). We found strong evidence of overlapping genetic risk between PTSD and schizophrenia along with more modest evidence of overlap with bipolar and major depressive disorder. No single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) exceeded genome-wide significance in the transethnic (overall) meta-analysis and we do not replicate previously reported associations. Still, SNP-level summary statistics made available here afford the best-available molecular genetic index of PTSD-for both European- and African-American individuals-and can be used in polygenic risk prediction and genetic correlation studies of diverse phenotypes. Publication of summary statistics for ∼10 000 African Americans contributes to the broader goal of increased ancestral diversity in genomic data resources. In sum, the results demonstrate genetic influences on the development of PTSD, identify shared genetic risk between PTSD and other psychiatric disorders and highlight the importance of multiethnic/racial samples. As has been the case with schizophrenia and other complex genetic disorders, larger sample sizes are needed to identify specific risk loci.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assaultive violence events are associated with increased risk for adverse psychiatric outcomes, including post-traumatic stress (PTS), depression, and generalized anxiety. Prior research has indicated that economic, legal, and social stressors that could follow assaultive events may explain the increased risk for adverse psychiatric outcomes, yet longitudinal studies have not adequately examined this pathway. In the current study, we aimed to address this limitation. METHODS Participants (N = 1360) were part of a longitudinal population-based study of adults living in Detroit. At three waves, participants indicated their exposure to assaultive violence and economic, legal, and social stressors, and completed inventories of PTS, depression, and generalized anxiety. Longitudinal mediation models were used to test the hypothesized pathway from assaultive violence to each psychiatric outcome. RESULTS The hypothesized models evidenced good fit with the data and, in each, the paths from Wave 1 (W1) assaultive violence to W2 stressors, and from W2 stressors to W3 symptoms were significant (range of Standardized Estimates: 0.09-0.15, all p < 0.01). Additionally, the indirect paths from W1 assaultive violence to W3 symptoms were significant (range of Standardized Estimates: 0.01-0.02, all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The findings illustrate that the economic, legal, and social stressors that could follow assaultive violence increase risk for a range of psychiatric symptoms. Although future research is needed, the results suggest that investment in interventions that prevent and mitigate assaultive violence survivors' exposure to such stressors may be an effective way to prevent mental illness in the aftermath of violent assaults.

Abstract
Recovery of three-dimensional structure from single-particle X-ray scattering of completely randomly oriented diffraction patterns as predicted a few decades ago has been realized owing to the advent of the new emerging X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) technology. Since the world's first XFEL started operation in June 2009 at SLAC National Laboratory at Stanford, the first few experiments have been conducted on larger objects such as viruses. Many of the important structures of nature such as helical viruses or DNA consist of helical repetition of biological subunits. Hence development of a method for reconstructing helical structure from collected XFEL data has been a top research priority. This work describes the development of a method for solving helical structures such as tobacco mosaic virus from a set of randomly oriented simulated diffraction patterns exploiting the symmetry and Fourier space constraint of the diffraction volume.

Abstract
Dysregulation of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has been documented in mammary gland development and breast cancer (BC) progression. Despite the remarkable progress in therapeutic interventions, BC related mortality in Bangladesh increased in the last decade. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) still presents a critical therapeutic challenge. Thus effective targeted therapy is urgently needed. In this study, we report the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of BC patients from Bangladesh. Routine immunohistochemical analysis and high throughput RNA-Seq data from the TCGA library were used to analyze the expression pattern and association of high and low level of Shh expression in a collection of BC patients with a long-term follow-up. High levels of Shh were observed in a subset of BC tumors with poor prognostic pathological features. Higher level of Shh expression correlated with a significantly poorer overall survival of patients compared with patients whose tumors expressed a low level of Shh. These data support the contention that Shh could be a novel biomarker for breast cancer that is involved in mediating the aggressive phenotype of BC. We propose that BC patients exhibiting a higher level of Shh expression, representing a subset of BC patients, would be amenable to Shh targeted therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
As molecularly targeted agents assume a more prominent role in anticancer therapy there is a growing need to determine in a noninvasive manner whether the target is being engaged and to what extent such drug-target binding results in desirable effects. We address this need in the context of Hsp90, a target of significant value and one in critical need for such assessment tools, by combining a novel chemical tool selective for tumor Hsp90 with PET imaging and mathematical modeling. The chemical tool is [124I]-PU-H71, the iodine-124 radiolabeled analog of the potent Hsp90 inhibitor PU-H71, which can be administered in tracer quantities for PET imaging. The resulting diagnostic, PU-PET, has been optimized and validated preclinically in mouse models of cancer and then translated to the clinic. The exquisite design of this assay is based on three essential concepts as it relates to the target (Hsp90) as well as to the PET tracer (124I-PU-H71). First, the target is “oncogenic” Hsp90 and has been shown by numerous biochemical and pharmacokinetic studies to have a strong affinity for inhibitors and a very low koff resulting in selective and prolonged retention in tumor. Secondly, the tracer incorporates a 124I in place of the naturally occurring 127I in the structure of PU-H71 and therefore there is no change in the chemical structure. This feature in a PET tracer intended as a companion diagnostic is unprecedented and ensures that the PK properties are identical to the therapeutic agent (PU-H71). Finally, the radionuclide 124I has a four-day half-life and thus is well-suited to monitor the extended tumor retention profile observed for Hsp90 inhibitors. We here demonstrate that this PET assay informs on Hsp90 targeting in individual tumors in real time and provides accurate tumor drug concentrations for at least four chemically distinct Hsp90 drugs. In contrast, we find that plasma pharmacokinetics is not predictive of intratumor parameters and therefore provides limited value in estimating target engagement. Using PU-PET we demonstrate that at least one Hsp90 inhibitor exhibits tumor targeting and retention in humans, delivering and retaining therapeutic, micromolar, concentrations at safe doses. PU-PET is currently being evaluated in Phase 0/1 (NCT01269593) clinical trials as a noninvasive companion diagnostic to determine intratumoral concentration as well as to identify those patients who would best benefit from Hsp90 inhibitor therapy. This diagnostic assay is intended to be incorporated into future Phase 2 clinical trials in order to preselect those patients who would most likely benefit from Hsp90 inhibitor treatment.

Abstract
Cholangiocyte proliferation is regulated in a coordinated fashion by many neuroendocrine factors through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is known to play a role in the activation of hepatic stellate cells and blocking the RAS attenuates hepatic fibrosis. We investigated the role of the RAS during extrahepatic cholestasis induced by bile duct ligation (BDL). In this study, we used normal and BDL rats that were treated with control, angiotensin II (ANG II), or losartan for 2 wk. In vitro studies were performed in a primary rat cholangiocyte cell line (NRIC). The expression of renin, angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensinogen, and angiotensin receptor type 1 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC), real-time PCR, and FACs and found to be increased in BDL compared with normal rat. The levels of ANG II were evaluated by ELISA and found to be increased in serum and conditioned media of cholangiocytes from BDL compared with normal rats. Treatment with ANG II increased biliary mass and proliferation in both normal and BDL rats. Losartan attenuated BDL-induced biliary proliferation. In vitro, ANG II stimulated NRIC proliferation via increased intracellular cAMP levels and activation of the PKA/ERK/CREB intracellular signaling pathway. ANG II stimulated a significant increase in Sirius red staining and IHC for fibronectin that was blocked by angiotensin receptor blockade. In vitro, ANG II stimulated the gene expression of collagen 1A1, fibronectin 1, and IL-6. These results indicate that cholangiocytes express a local RAS and that ANG II plays an important role in regulating biliary proliferation and fibrosis during extraheptic cholestasis.

Abstract
The optimum topology of bimaterial phononic crystal (PhCr) plates with one-dimensional (1D) periodicity to attain maximum relative bandgap width of low order Lamb waves is computationally investigated. The evolution of optimized topology with respect to filling fraction of constituents, alternatively stiff scattering inclusion, is explored. The underlying idea is to develop PhCr plate structures with high specific bandgap efficiency at particular filling fraction, or further with multiscale functionality through gradient of optimized PhCr unitcell all over the lattice array. Multiobjective genetic algorithm (GA) is employed in this research in conjunction with finite element method (FEM) for topology optimization of silicon-tungsten PhCr plate unitcells. A specialized FEM model is developed and verified for dispersion analysis of plate waves and calculation of modal response. Modal band structure of regular PhCr plate unitcells with centric scattering layer is studied as a function of aspect ratio and filling fraction. Topology optimization is then carried out for a few aspect ratios, with and without prescribed symmetry, over various filling fractions. The efficiency of obtained solutions is verified as compared to corresponding regular centric PhCr plate unitcells. Moreover, being inspired by the obtained optimum topologies, definite and easy to produce topologies are proposed with enhanced bandgap efficiency as compared to centric unitcells. Finally a few cases are introduced to evaluate the frequency response of finite PhCr plate structures produced by achieved topologies and also to confirm the reliability of calculated modal band structures. Cases made by consecutive unitcells of different filling fraction are examined in order to attest the bandgap efficiency and multiscale functionality of such graded PhCr plate structures.

Abstract
Activation of the sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway controls tumorigenesis in a variety of cancers. Here, we show a role for Shh signaling in the promotion of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), tumorigenicity, and stemness in the bladder cancer. EMT induction was assessed by the decreased expression of E-cadherin and ZO-1 and increased expression of N-cadherin. The induced EMT was associated with increased cell motility, invasiveness, and clonogenicity. These progression relevant behaviors were attenuated by treatment with Hh inhibitors cyclopamine and GDC-0449, and after knockdown by Shh-siRNA, and led to reversal of the EMT phenotype. The results with HTB-9 were confirmed using a second bladder cancer cell line, BFTC905 (DM). In a xenograft mouse model TGF-β1 treated HTB-9 cells exhibited enhanced tumor growth. Although normal bladder epithelial cells could also undergo EMT and upregulate Shh with TGF-β1 they did not exhibit tumorigenicity. The TGF-β1 treated HTB-9 xenografts showed strong evidence for a switch to a more stem cell like phenotype, with functional activation of CD133, Sox2, Nanog, and Oct4. The bladder cancer specific stem cell markers CK5 and CK14 were upregulated in the TGF-β1 treated xenograft tumor samples, while CD44 remained unchanged in both treated and untreated tumors. Immunohistochemical analysis of 22 primary human bladder tumors indicated that Shh expression was positively correlated with tumor grade and stage. Elevated expression of Ki-67, Shh, Gli2, and N-cadherin were observed in the high grade and stage human bladder tumor samples, and conversely, the downregulation of these genes were observed in the low grade and stage tumor samples. Collectively, this study indicates that TGF-β1-induced Shh may regulate EMT and tumorigenicity in bladder cancer. Our studies reveal that the TGF-β1 induction of EMT and Shh is cell type context dependent. Thus, targeting the Shh pathway could be clinically beneficial in the ability to reverse the EMT phenotype of tumor cells and potentially inhibit bladder cancer progression and metastasis.
