Abstract
Laminins are essential in basement membrane architecture and critical in re-epithelialization and angiogenesis. These processes and collagen deposition are vital in skin wound healing. The role of angiogenic peptides in accelerating the wound-healing process has been known. The bioactive peptides could be a potential approach due to their similar effects as growth factors and inherent biocompatible and biodegradable nature with lower cost. They can also recognize ligand-receptor interaction and mimic the extracellular matrix. Here, we report novel angiogenic DYVRLAI, CDYVRLAI, angiogenic-collagen PGPIKVAV, and Ac-PGPIKVAV peptides conjugated sodium carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel, which was designed from laminin. The designed peptide exhibits a better binding with the α3β1, αvβ3, and α5β1 integrins and CXCR2 receptor, indicating their angiogenic and collagen binding efficiency. The peptides were evaluated to stimulate wound healing in full-thickness excision wounds in normal and diabetic mice (type II). They demonstrated their efficacy in terms of angiogenesis (CD31), re-epithelialization through regeneration of the epidermis (H&E), and collagen deposition (MT). The synthesized peptide hydrogel (DYVRLAI and CDYVRLAI) showed enhanced wound contraction up to 10.1 % and 12.3 % on day 7th compared to standard becaplermin gel (49 %) in a normal wound model. The encouraging results were also observed with the diabetic model, where these peptides showed a significant decrease of 5.20 and 5.17 % in wound size on day 10th compared to the commercial gel (9.27 %). These outcomes signify that the modified angiogenic peptide is a cost effective, novel peptide motif to promote dermal wound healing in both models.

Abstract
External hemostatic agents play a crucial role in stabilizing an impaired process during pathological conditions. The idea is to stabilize thein vivosystem as soon as possible. This study uses a class I hemostatic drug tranexamic acid as a reducing and capping agent for synthesizing the gold nanoparticles (Tr-AuNPs). Being the synthetic analogue of lysine and a biologically inspired alkylamine molecule, the chemistry can be fine-tuned for stable material that can simultaneously target the intrinsic and extrinsic hemostatic pathway, making it promising for hemostatic applications. The Tr-AuNPs of hydrodynamic diameter ∼46 nm were synthesized and evaluated physio-chemically using various analytical techniques wherein they showed hemocompatibility and increased thrombus weight compared to the native drug. The decrease in prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio supported by the dynamic thromboelastography (TEG) study indicates the prepared nano-conjugate's potential in reducing time for attaining hemostasis as compared to the native tranexamic acid drug. At a 9μg ml-1concentration, Tr-AuNPs had a procoagulant effect, shown by decreased reaction time (R) and coagulation time (K) with improvedαangle and MA. There was a significant increase in the rate of coagulationin vivoby Tr-AuNPs, i.e. (52 s) compared to the native tranexamic acid (360 s). Radiolabelling studies ascertained thein vivobiocompatibility (non-invasive distribution, residence, clearance, and stability) of the Tr-AuNPs. The short-term toxicity studies were conducted to establish a proof of concept for the biomedical application of the material. The results highlighted the use of biologically alkyl amine molecules as capping and reducing agents for the synthesis of nanoparticles, which have shown a synergistic effect on the coagulation cascade while holding the potential for also acting as potential theranostic agents.

Abstract
Considerable costs are associated with infertility treatment, but little evidence is available on the main drivers of treatment costs. This cost analysis investigated key costs for treatment with assisted reproductive technology (ART) and the proportion of costs attributed to the acquisition of recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) alfa originator for one fresh embryo transfer (ET) leading to a live birth in Spain, Norway, the UK, Germany, Denmark, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. The total costs for one ART cycle with a fresh ET leading to a live birth varied between countries (€4108-€12,314). Costs for pregnancy and live birth were the major contributors in European countries, and the costs of oocyte retrieval, monitoring during ovarian stimulation, pregnancy, and live birth were the top contributors in the Asia-Pacific countries, included in this analysis. Acquisition costs for r-hFSH alfa originator contributed to only 5%-17% of the total costs of one ART cycle with one fresh ET leading to a live birth.

Abstract
Effective wound management imposes several challenges in clinical outcomes due to the complexity of the wound microenvironment, bacterial infections, impaired angiogenesis, aggravated inflammation, and enduring pain. In addition, adhesion on wet biological tissue is another extremely challenging task. Addressing all the issues is necessary for an effective wound healing process. Herein, we developed a unique multifunctional, adhesive composite hydrogel composed of gelatin, chitosan, polydopamine-coated bioactive glass (BG), and curcumin-capped silver nanoparticles (Cur-AgNPs) to target the multifaceted complexity of the wound. The PDA-coated BG serves multiple purposes: (1) adhesivity: catechol groups of PDA and Ca ion released from BG chelate the group present in the hydrogel network and surrounding tissues, (2) angiogenesis: promotes vascularization due to the release of Si from BG, and (3) BG also serves as the "reservoir" for the pain-relieving diclofenac sodium drug with a sustained-release behavior. Cur-AgNPs provide excellent bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties to the composite hydrogel. In situ application of the composite hydrogel could serve the purpose of a "skin biomimetic" and work as a barrier along with bactericidal properties to inhibit the microbial growth. The multifunctional composite hydrogel (MCH) targeted multiple aspects of wound repair including pain alleviation, elimination of microbes (up to 99%), reduced inflammation, high adhesivity, and increased angiogenesis for effective skin regeneration. The MCH showed excellent wound healing potential as significant wound closure was observed at day 7 and also significantly upregulated the expression of crucial genes involved in the skin regeneration process along with increasing vascularization in the wound area.

Introduction
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects 3% of the population and is the leading indication for mitral valve surgery.[1] Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a structural abnormality commonly seen in patients with MVP.[2] MAD is defined as an abnormal separation (>5mm) between the left atrial wall-mitral valve junction and the left ventricle myocardium,[2] associated with hypermobility and myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve leaflets.[3] There is a paucity of literature regarding MAD, however evidence is growing that it may be associated with ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death.[3] We examined the prevalence, imaging characteristics and clinical associations of MAD among patients who have undergone mitral valve surgery for MVP.
Methods
Single centre cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing mitral valve surgery for MVP over a 3-year period. Patient baseline characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, surgical outcomes, frequency of arrhythmic events and 3-year cardiac and all-cause mortality were recorded. Single site data was obtained from a prospective Australia-wide cardiac surgery registry, as well as retrospective analysis of holter-monitor reports, device interrogation and review of medical records. Transthoracic echocardiogram images were re-examined, and parameters re-measured by a qualified examiner.
Results
Among 73 patients with surgical MVP, 20 patients had MAD (27.4%). The median MAD length was 8.1 (IQR 6.8-11.8) mm. The most severely affected patient had a disjunction length of 28 mm. MAD was associated with younger age at surgery (60 vs 66, P = 0.005), female sex (40.0% vs 22.6%, P = 0.138), bileaflet MVP (50% vs 10.6%, P = 0.004) and less cardiovascular comorbidities, including hypertension (25.0% vs 57.7%, P = 0.013) and hypercholesterolaemia (30.0% vs 61.5%, P = 0.016). Patients with MAD had greater mitral valve leaflet lengths, mitral annular diameters, and high-velocity systolic signal on tissue doppler of the mitral valve annulus (pickelhaube sign). Three patients in the MAD positive group had an arrhythmic event (VF or VT) at 3 years compared to one in the MAD negative group. There was no significant difference in 3-year cardiac or all-cause mortality between groups.
Conclusion
MAD is a common anatomical abnormality in patients with surgical MVP, and is easily detected on transthoracic echocardiography. It is associated with younger age at surgery, female sex, bileaflet MVP, increased leaflet length and annulus diameter. There was a signal towards increased arrhythmic events in patients with MAD despite younger age and less cardiovascular risk factors. Large longitudinal studies are needed to further assess the association of MAD with arrhythmic events to help guild appropriate investigation and risk stratification of these patients.

Abstract
The percentage of the obese and overweight population inIndia has alarmingly increased over the last few years. It isdescribed as a global epidemic that needs to be controlled.The two main reasons for obesity and overweight are lack ofphysical activity and lack of balanced diet. Childhood Obesityleads to many chronic diseases in adulthood if not cured. Withthe lifestyle change, physical activity has gradually decreased;therefore, a balanced diet is necessary to fight obesity. Obesitycan also be controlled among the youth so that it is notcarried forward in adulthood. Consequently, it is imperative toknow what makes them buy products that claim to be healthy.Advertisers use the central or peripheral route of advertising toendorse the products and add labels as heuristic cues to helpbuyers make a healthy choice. A questionnaire that was givento the sample to understand their perception of food productsthat claim to be healthy indicated that the influence of celebritybrand endorsers varies with categories of food products. It alsoindicated that all labels do not influence the buyer. The buyerswho claimed to check nutrient facts of the products also perceivedthe products to be healthy. Government guidelines havebeen established for nutritional claims made by the advertisers,but more information needs to be given to the buyers so thatthey can make an informed decision.

Abstract
An analog of γ1 laminin (RDIAEIIKDI) decapeptide has been used to augment neuronal survival and regeneration after injuries, during aging and other CNS disorder. As a prime synthetic peptide, KDI, is responsible for the neurite outgrowth of human embryonic neurons. In this study, we have designed, modified a KDI derivative and synthesized by replacing isoleucine (I) with Pro (P) amino acid at C-terminal to enhance its potency towards neurite growth. -Cys-Gly-Cys (-CGC) N2S2 motif was also incorporated in the present design for peptide radiolabeling. The modified peptide showed a better binding with the desired 3T1M receptor for neurite growth. The peptide was synthesized using solid phase peptide synthesis and Fmoc-strategy with more than 80% yield. The receptor binding studies of 99mTc-N2S2-KDP in Neuro2A cell lines showed Kd value in 31 nM range and the complex showed appreciable brain uptake in mice. The results on human SH-SY5Y indicate that the unlabeled N2S2-KDP may perhaps be useful for neurite growth in neurodegenerative disorder.

Abstract
Exploration of an efficient dual-drug based nanocarrier with high drug loading capacity, specific targeting properties, and long-term stability is highly desirable in cancer therapy. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be a promising class of drug carriers due to their high porosity, crystalline properties with defined structure information, and their potential for further functionalization. To enhance the drug efficacy as well as to overcome the burst effect of drugs, here we synthesized a pH responsive folic acid (FA) and graphene oxide (GO) decorated zeolitical imidazolate frameworks-8 (GO–FA/ZIF-8), for targeted delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and cyclophosphamide (CP), simultaneously. In this system, DOX molecules were encapsulated in the pores of ZIF-8 during in situ synthesis of ZIF-8 and CP molecules have been captured by the GO surface via hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions as well. Furthermore, the resulting pH-responsive nanocarrier (DOX@ZIF-8/GO–FA/CP) showed in vitro sustained release characteristics (76% of DOX and 80% of CP) by cleavage of chemical bonding and disruption of the MOFs structure under acidic condition (at pH 5.6). Moreover, DOX@ZIF-8/GO–FA/CP has synergistic cytotoxic effects as compared to the combination of both the drugs without ZIF-8/GO–FA when treating MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines (with a combination index of 0.29 and 0.75 for MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell-lines, respectively). Hence this system can be applied as an effective platform for smart dual drug delivery in breast cancer treatment through its remarkable manageable multidrug release. Exploration of an efficient dual-drug based nanocarrier with high drug loading capacity, specific targeting properties, and long-term stability is highly desirable in cancer therapy.![]()

Abstract
Methionine-gold nanoparticles (MGNs) was synthesized by conjugating methionine via dithiocarbamate linkage to gold nanoparticles (GNPs), prepared simultaneously by one pot modified Burst method. Formation of MGNs was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy and appearance of new IR bands in the range of 934 cm-1 to 1086 cm-1 and shifting of N-C,S-S and S-C-S stretching, confirms the involvement of '-S-C-S-' group of methionine dithiocarbamate with GNPs. The presence of Au in MGNs was confirmed by EDXA spectrum, whereas TEM, SAED and XRD revealed that MGNs are nanocrystalline (~13 nm) and have face-centered cubic structure. MGNs was labeled with 99mTc (TMGNs) with radiolabeling efficiency greater than 99% using 300 μg of stannous chloride, pH 7 and 90.6 MBq of 99mTcO4. The stability data showed that the conjugate will remain infrangible in systemic circulation and in acidic microenvironment of tumor. The blood kinetic profile of TMGN in rabbits and biodistribution studies in EAT tumor bearing balb/c mice showed longer in vivo circulation and slow clearance compared to radiolabeled methionine (TM). TMGN demonstrated nearly three-fold higher tumor accumulation (3.9 ± 0.35% ID/g), 2-fold lower tumor saturation dose (1.0 μg/kg) and higher tumor retention compared with TM. Data showed that the TMGN tumor: blood ratio (1.05) is nearly 2.5-fold higher than TM (0.44), whereas TMGN tumor: muscle ratio (97.5) is nearly 8-fold higher than TM (11.6). In conclusion, TMGN showed excellent tumor targeting and has promising prospects as a SPECT-radiopharmaceutical for imaging tumors.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION What are appraisals, coping strategies and emotional reactions of patients to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) fertility clinic closures? SUMMARY ANSWER Clinic closure was appraised as stressful due to uncertainty and threat to the attainability of the parenthood goal but patients were able to cope using strategies that fit the uncertainty of the situation. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Psychological research on COVID-19 suggests that people are more anxious than historical norms and moderately to extremely upset about fertility treatment cancellation owing to COVID-19. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION The study was of cross-sectional design, comprising a mixed-methods, English language, anonymous, online survey posted from April 09 to April 21 to social media. Eligibility criteria were being affected by COVID-19 fertility clinic closure, 18 years of age or older and able to complete the survey in English. In total, 946 people clicked on the survey link, 76 did not consent, 420 started but did not complete survey, and 450 completed (48% completion, 446 women, four men). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Overall 74.7% (n = 336) of respondents were residents in the UK with an average age of 33.6 years (SD = 4.4) and average years trying to conceive, 3.5 years (SD = 2.22). The survey comprised quantitative questions about the intensity of cognitive appraisals and emotions about clinic closure, and ability to cope with clinic closure. Open-text questions covered their understanding of COVID-19 and its effect on reproductive health and fertility plans, concerns and perceived benefits of clinic closure, and knowledge about closure. Sociodemographic information was collected. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used on quantitative data. Thematic qualitative analysis (inductive coding) was performed on the textual data from each question. Deductive coding grouped themes from each question into meta-themes related to cognitive stress and coping theory. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Most patients (81.6%, n = 367) had tests or treatments postponed, with these being self (41.3%, n = 186) or publicly (46.4%, n = 209) funded. Patients appraised fertility clinic closure as having potential for a more negative than positive impact on their lives, and to be very or extremely uncontrollable and stressful (p ≤ .001). Most reported a slight to moderate ability to cope with closure. Data saturation was achieved with all open-text questions, with 33 broad themes identified and four meta-themes linked to components of the cognitive stress and coping theory. First, participants understood clinic closure was precautionary due to unknown effects of COVID-19 but some felt clinic closure was unfair relative to advice about getting pregnant given to the public. Second, closure was appraised as a threat to attainability of the parenthood goal largely due to uncertainty of the situation (e.g., re-opening, effect of delay) and intensification of pre-existing hardships of fertility problems (e.g., long time waiting for treatment, history of failed treatment). Third, closure taxed personal coping resources but most were able to cope using thought-management (e.g., distraction, focusing on positives), getting mentally and physically fit for next treatments, strengthening their social network, and keeping up-to-date. Finally, participants reported more negative than positive emotions (p ≤ .001) and almost all participants reported stress, worry and frustration at the situation, while some expressed anger and resentment at the unfairness of the situation. Overall, 11.9% were not at all able to cope, with reports of intense feelings of hopelessness and deteriorating wellbeing and mental health. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The survey captures patient reactions at a specific point in time, during lockdown and before clinics announced re-opening. Participants were self-selected (e.g., UK residents, women, 48% starting but not completing the survey), which may affect generalisability. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Fertility stakeholders (e.g., clinics, patient support groups, regulators, professional societies) need to work together to address the great uncertainty from COVID-19. This goal can be met proactively by setting up transparent processes for COVID-19 eventualities and signposting to information and coping resources. Future psychological research priorities should be on identifying patients at risk of distress with standardised measures and developing digital technologies appropriate for the realities of fertility care under COVID-19.

Abstract
Tryptophan is an amino acid required by all life forms for protein synthesis and other important metabolic functions. It is metabolized in the body using the kynurenine pathway which involves the enzyme indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) and its transport is regulated through the L-type amino acid transporters (LAT 1). IDO and LAT 1 are found to be overexpressed in many cancers i.e., ovarian, lung colorectal etc. In this study we have used this specific interaction as the basis for designing diagnostic agent based on iron oxide nanoparticles which can specifically target the IDO/LAT 1 over expressing tumors. We have conjugated tryptophan to the surface of super-paramagnetic nanoparticles chemically using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane as a linker. The synthesized tryptophan conjugated magnetic nano-conjugate has been characterized using FTIR, UV-Vis, TEM for its shape size, charge and NMR and Mass for conjugation. The magnetization studies show decrease in the magnetic behavior after conjugation however the desired super-paramagnetic property is still retained as shown by the signature sigmoidal B-H curve. The nano-conjugate shows minimal cytotoxicity over 24 h as shown by the SRB assay in two cell lines A-549, MCF-7. Using 99mTc labeling the biodistribution and the blood kinetics of the magnetic nano-conjugate was evaluated. The study highlights the suitability of the designed magnetic Nano bioconjugate as a potential bimodal diagnostic agent.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
An estimated 14.3% (9.4 million people) of people living in the UK in 2019 were international migrants. Despite this, little is known about how migrants access and use healthcare services. To use electronic healthcare records (EHRs) to study migration health, a valid migration phenotype is necessary: a transparent reproducible algorithm using clinical terminology codes to determine migration status. We have previously described the validity of a migration phenotype in CALIBER data using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), the largest UK primary care EHR. This study further evaluates the phenotype by examining certainty of migration status.
Methods
This is a population-based cohort study of individuals in CPRD Gold (1997-2018) with a Read term indicating migration to the UK. We describe completeness of recording of migration over time: percentage of individuals recorded as migrants. We also describe cohort size based on certainty of migration status: “definite” (country of birth or visa status terms), “probable” (non-English first/main language terms), and “possible” (non-UK origin terms).
Results
Overall, 2.5% (403,768/16,071,111) of CPRD had ≥1 of 434 terms indicating migration to the UK. The percentage of recorded migrants per year increased from 0.2% (4,417/2,210,551) in 1997 to 3.64% (100,626/2,761,397) in 2018, following a similar trend to national migration data. 44.27% (178,749/403,768) were “definite” migrants and 53.68% (216,731/403,768) were “probable” migrants. Only 2.05%(8,288/16,071,111) were “possible” migrants.
Conclusions
We have created a large cohort of international migrants in the UK and certainty of migration status is high. This cohort can be used to study migration health in UK primary care EHR. The large contribution of language terms make this phenotype particularly suitable for understanding healthcare access and use by non-English speaking migrants who may face additional barriers to care.
Key messages
We have developed a way to study migration health in UK primary care electronic health records. Our method is particularly useful to study healthcare for non-English speaking migrants who may face additional barriers to care.

Abstract
AIMS To characterize ethnic differences in the severity and clinical management of type 2 diabetes at initial diagnosis. METHODS An observational cohort study of 179,886 people with incident type 2 diabetes between 2004 and 2017 in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink was undertaken; 63.4% of the cohort were of white ethnicity, 3.9% south Asian, and 1.6% black. Ethnic differences in clinical profile at diagnosis, consultation rates, and risk factor recording were derived from linear and logistic regression. Cox-proportional hazards regression was used to determine ethnic differences in time to initiation of therapeutic and non-therapeutic management following diagnosis. All analyses adjusted for age, sex, deprivation, and clustering by practice. RESULTS In the 12 months prior to diagnosis, non-white groups had fewer consultations compared to white groups, but risk factor recording was better than or equivalent to white groups for 9/10 risk factors for south Asian groups and 8/10 risk factors for black groups (p < 0.002). Blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, eGFR, and CVD risk levels were more favourable in non-white groups, and prevalence of macrovascular disease was significantly lower (p < 0.003). Time to initiation of antidiabetic treatment and first risk assessment was faster in non-white groups relative to white groups, while time to risk factor measurement and diabetes review was slower. CONCLUSIONS We find limited evidence of systematic ethnic inequalities around the time of type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Ethnic disparities in downstream consequences may relate to genetic risk factors, or manifest later in the care pathway, potentially in relation to long-term risk factor control.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of assisted reproduction techniques (ART) is increasing; however, reports of molar pregnancy following ART remain scarce. Currently, the Human Fertility and Embryology Authority (HFEA) collates data on the molar pregnancies that have resulted through the use of ART. Recently, they have indicated that they will no longer collect these data. AIM This paper aimed to examine the incidence of molar pregnancy amongst patients undergoing assisted reproduction. METHODS We contacted HFEA and placed a request under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) for the number of molar pregnancies that resulted from fresh/frozen embryo transfer since HFEA started collecting data in 1991 to February 2018. We also asked how many patients who had suffered a molar pregnancy went on to have a normal pregnancy and how many had subsequent molar pregnancies, in subsequent treatment cycles. RESULTS Between 68 and 76 molar pregnancies occurred within this period using ART (n = 274,655). The incidence of molar pregnancy using fresh intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) (1/4302) and fresh in vitro fertilisation (IVF) (1/4333) was similar. The risk of recurrence of molar pregnancy following a previous molar was higher following ART compared to spontaneous conceptions. CONCLUSION The use of ICSI should be protective against triploidy; however, the retrospective data suggests that molar pregnancy is not eliminated with the use of ART. It is pertinent to continue to record this data, through the gestational trophoblastic disease centres, in order to ensure no further increase in incidence, appropriate follow-up, and transparency in communication.

Abstract
AIM To identify ethnic differences in hypoglycaemic risk among people with Type 2 diabetes prescribed insulins and/or sulfonylureas in community settings. METHODS Using routine general practice-recorded data, two cohorts of adults with Type 2 diabetes from east London were studied between January 2013 and December 2015: (1) adults prescribed insulins ± other antidiabetes medications (n=7269) and (2) adults prescribed sulfonylureas ± other antidiabetes medications excluding insulins (n=12 502). Incidence rate ratios of hypoglycaemia by ethnicity, adjusting for age, sex, socio-economic status and clustering within Clinical Commissioning Groups, were estimated using random effects Poisson regression. RESULTS Compared with white British people prescribed insulins, those of black Caribbean ethnicity were at increased hypoglycaemic risk [adjusted incidence rate ratio 1.56 (95% CI 1.21,2.01)], while Bangladeshi people had a lower risk [adjusted incidence rate ratio 0.49 (95% CI, 0.38,0.64)]. In the sulfonylurea cohort, black Caribbean, black African and Indian people all had increased risks of hypoglycaemia compared with white British people [adjusted incidence rate ratios 1.63 (95% CI 1.15,2.29), 1.90 (95% CI 1.32,2.75) and 1.93 (95% CI 1.39,2.69), respectively]. CONCLUSION The differences in hypoglycaemic risk among people with Type 2 diabetes prescribed insulin and/or sulfonylureas warrant further investigation of any differing biological responses and/or cultural attitudes to antidiabetes therapy among ethnic groups, and should be considered by clinicians evaluating the treatment goals of people with Type 2 diabetes using insulins or sulfonylureas.

Abstract
Online coupled meteorology-atmospheric chemistry models have greatly evolved in recent years. Although mainly developed by the air quality modeling community, these integrated models are also of interest for numerical weather prediction and climate modeling, as they can consider both the effects of meteorology on air quality and the potentially important effects of atmospheric composition on weather. This paper summarizes the main conclusions from the "Symposium on Coupled Chemistry-Meteorology/Climate Modelling: Status and Relevance for Numerical Weather Prediction, Air Quality and Climate Research," which was initiated by the European COST Action ES1004 "European Framework for Online Integrated Air Quality and Meteorology Modelling (EuMetChem)." It offers a brief review of the current status of online coupled meteorology and atmospheric chemistry modeling and a survey of processes relevant to the interactions between atmospheric physics, dynamics, and composition. In addition, it highlights scientific issues and emerging challenges that require proper consideration to improve the reliability and usability of these models for three main application areas: air quality, meteorology (including weather prediction), and climate modeling. It presents a synthesis of scientific progress in the form of answers to nine key questions, and provides recommendations for future research directions and priorities in the development, application, and evaluation of online coupled models.

Abstract
Fructose consumption is responsible for the onset of insulin resistance (IR), and metabolic syndrome. It possesses no functional utility in body and its detrimental effects on hepatic metabolic milieu are beyond those produced by glucose. The need of the hour is to identify fructose-induced IR as an unique pathological state to be managed differentially. The effect of aqueous leaf extract of Aegle marmelos (AM) on hepatic markers of insulin resistance using HepG2 cells cultured in either fructose or glucose-rich environment is investigated. Human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) were grown under standard conditions in either-DMEM without glucose (NC), DMEM with high glucose 25 mM (Glu), DMEM-glucose+0.55 mM fructose (FC1), DMEM-glucose+1 mM fructose (FC2) or DMEM-glucose+1 mM fructose+0.1 µM insulin (FC3). The cells were treated with either AM, rutin, quercetin, metformin or pioglitazone and assessed for levels of hexokinase, phosphofructokinase (PFK), aldehyde dehydrogenase, phosphatidylinositol kinase (PI3K), signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT-3), mitochondrial target of rapamycin (mTOR), hypoxia-induced factor (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α). Summarily, when results from fructose- and glucose-rich environment were compared, then (1) IR was more pronounced in former; (2) AM performed better in former; (3) metformin and pioglitazone were equivocal in either; (4) rutin and quercetin showed deviant effects from AM; and lastly (5) effects of rutin were closer to AM than quercetin. We hypothesize that AM ameliorates fructose-induced IR through a mechanism which is distinct from standard drugs and not shared by individual phytoconstituents in toto.

Abstract
IntroductionAmple amount of data suggests role of REM sleep deprivation as the cause and effect of mania. In the present model, we have tried to implement behavioral sensitization to sleep deprivation, conditions mimicking natural circumstances, so as to produce an animal model with symptomatology resembling very close to human mania. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that mania is often co-morbid with multiple sclerosis, therefore we sought to find out whether myelin integrity is disrupted and if lithium could protect against such damage.Objectives(1) To analyse mania-like behavior after REM sleep deprivation. (2) To analyse any damage to myelin under TEM.AimsWe wanted to see if there could be any damage to myelin after behavioral sensitization to stress.MethodsRats were sleep deprived by classical flowerpot or platform method. OFT was performed to assess behavior of rats. The analysis was performed over 5 min, separated into 5 bins of 1 min each. Behavioral scores included total square entries, inner square entries, time spent in center, rearing frequency, time spent rearing, number of grooming bouts, time spent grooming defecation and time spent still. TEM was performed to study changes in myelination in two distinct regions of brain, DG and VTA.ResultsIt was observed that the REM sleep deprived rats had mania like symptoms. REM sleep deprivation lead to demyelination in DG and VTA. Lithium treatment restored myelination per se.ConclusionsThe result suggests the involvement of myelin damage in the pathogenesis of mania, Li offers protection against such damage.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
Aviation is a unique anthropogenic source with four-dimensional varying emissions, peaking at cruise altitudes (9-12 km). Aircraft emission budgets in the upper troposphere lower stratosphere region and their potential impacts on upper troposphere and surface air quality are not well understood. Our key objective is to use chemical transport models (with prescribed meteorology) to predict aircraft emissions impacts on the troposphere and surface air quality. We quantified the importance of including full-flight intercontinental emissions and increased horizontal grid resolution. The full-flight aviation emissions in the Northern Hemisphere contributed ~1.3% (mean, min-max: 0.46, 0.3-0.5 ppbv) and 0.2% (0.013, 0.004-0.02 μg/m3) of total O3 and PM2.5 concentrations at the surface, with Europe showing slightly higher impacts (1.9% (O3 0.69, 0.5-0.85 ppbv) and 0.5% (PM2.5 0.03, 0.01-0.05 μg/m3)) than North America (NA) and East Asia. We computed seasonal aviation-attributable mass flux vertical profiles and aviation perturbations along isentropic surfaces to quantify the transport of cruise altitude emissions at the hemispheric scale. The comparison of coarse (108 × 108 km2) and fine (36 × 36 km2) grid resolutions in NA showed ~70 times and ~13 times higher aviation impacts for O3 and PM2.5 in coarser domain. These differences are mainly due to the inability of the coarse resolution simulation to capture nonlinearities in chemical processes near airport locations and other urban areas. Future global studies quantifying aircraft contributions should consider model resolution and perhaps use finer scales near major aviation source regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown how risk of myocardial infarction and stroke differ for patients with and without anxiety or depression, and whether this risk can be explained by demographics, medication use, cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of this study is to quantify differences in risk of non-fatal MI or stroke among patients with anxiety or depression. METHODS Prospective cohort study examining risk of incident MI and stroke between March 2005 and March 2015 for 524,952 patients aged 30 and over from the east London primary care database for patients with anxiety or depression. RESULTS Amongst 21,811 individuals with depression at baseline, 1.2% had MI and 0.4% had stroke. Of 22,128 individuals with anxiety at baseline, 1.1% had MI and 0.3% had stroke. Depression was independently associated with both MI and stroke, whereas anxiety was associated with MI only before adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. Antidepressant use increased risk for MI but not stroke. Mean age at first MI was lower in those with anxiety, while mean age at first stroke was lower in those with depression. LIMITATIONS The study was limited to patients currently registered in the database and thus we did not have any patients that died during the course of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Patients with depression have increased risk of cardiovascular events. The finding of no increased cardiovascular risk in those with anxiety after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors is of clinical importance and highlights that the adequate control of traditional risk factors is the cornerstone of cardiovascular disease prevention. Targeting management of classical cardiovascular risk factors and evaluating the risks of antidepressant prescribing should be prioritized.

Abstract
Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive salt-losing tubulopathy. The incidence of Gitelman syndrome is 25 cases in 1 million among western population. This patient presented with loose stool, vomiting and sudden onset quadriparesis. Investigations revealed hypokalaemia, metabolic acidosis, hypomagnesaemia, hypocalciuria, hypermagnesuria. Symptoms and hypokalemia improved after starting oral magnesium and potassium supplements. But the patient again presented with symptomatic hypokalemia and delivered a still born foetus with hydrocephalus. Patient was put on potassium sparing diuretics along with supplements and thereafter, has been asymptomatic. There have been very few case reports on Gitelman syndrome in pregnancy and most of them show favourable outcomes. This is a rare case report of a pregnant female with Gitelman syndrome with foetal loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evidence informing the management of cardiovascular risk in patients with psychiatric disorders is weak. METHODS This cohort study used data from all patients, aged≥30, registered in 140 primary care practices (n=524,952) in London to estimate the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, tobacco consumption, obesity, and physical inactivity, between 2005 and 2015, for patients with a previous diagnosis of schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, bipolar or personality disorder. The role of antidepressants, antipsychotics and social deprivation in these associations was also investigated. The age at detection of cardiovascular risk factor was compared between patients with and without psychiatric disorders. Variables, for exposures and outcomes, defined from general practitioners records, were analysed using multivariate regression. RESULTS Patients with psychiatric disorders had an increased risk for cardiovascular risk factors, especially diabetes, with hazard ratios: 2.42 (2.20-2.67) to 1.31 (1.25-1.37), hyperlipidemia, with hazard ratios: 1.78 (1.60-1.97) to 1.25 (1.23-1.28), and obesity. Antidepressants, antipsychotics and social deprivation did not change these associations, except for smoking and physical inactivity. Antidepressants were associated with higher risk of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Antipsychotics were associated with a higher risk of diabetes. Antidepressants and antipsychotics were associated with lower risk of other risk factors. Patients with psychiatric conditions have later detection of cardiovascular risk factors. The interpretation of these results should acknowledge the lower rates of detection of risk factors in mentally ill patients. CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular risk factors require special clinical attention among patients with psychiatric disorders. Further research could study the effect of antidepressants and antipsychotics on cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have linked ethnic differences in depression rates with neighbourhood ethnic density although results have not been conclusive. We looked at this using a novel approach analysing whole population data covering just over one million GP patients in four London boroughs. METHOD Using a dataset of GP records for all patients registered in Lambeth, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Newham in 2013 we investigated new diagnoses of depression and antidepressant use for: Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, black Caribbean and black African patients. Neighbourhood effects were assessed independently of GP practice using a cross-classified multilevel model. RESULTS Black and minority ethnic groups are up to four times less likely to be newly diagnosed with depression or prescribed antidepressants compared to white British patients. We found an inverse relationship between neighbourhood ethnic density and new depression diagnosis for some groups, where an increase of 10% own-ethnic density was associated with a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduced odds of depression for Pakistani [odds ratio (OR) 0.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70-0.93], Indian (OR 0.88, CI 0.81-0.95), African (OR 0.88, CI 0.78-0.99) and Bangladeshi (OR 0.94, CI 0.90-0.99) patients. Black Caribbean patients, however, showed the opposite effect (OR 1.26, CI 1.09-1.46). The results for antidepressant use were very similar although the corresponding effect for black Caribbeans was no longer statistically significant (p = 0.07). CONCLUSION New depression diagnosis and antidepressant use was shown to be less likely in areas of higher own-ethnic density for some, but not all, ethnic groups.

The pharmacokinetics of these ligands were determined by tracer methods. In vitro human serum stability of (99m)Tc Met-ac-TE3A/(99m)Tc Bis(thiosemicarbazone)-Biotin after 24h was found to be 96.5% and 97.0% respectively. Blood kinetics of both ligands in normal rabbits showed biphasic clearance pattern. Ex vivo biodistribution study revealed significant initial tumor uptake and high tumor/muscles ratio which is a pre-requisite condition for a ligand to work as SPECT-radiopharmaceutical for tumor imaging.

Abstract
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is amalgam of pathologies like altered glucos metabolism, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and associated with type-II diabetes and cardiometabolic diseases. One of the reasons leading to its increased and early incidence is understood to be a high intake of processed fructose containing foods and beverages by individuals, especially, during critical developmental years. Objective: To investigate the preventive potential of aqueous extract of Psidium guajava leaves (PG) against metabolic pathologies, vis-à-vis, IR, dyslipidemia, hyperleptinemia and hypertension, due to excess fructose intake initiated during developmental years. Materials and Methods: Post-weaning (4 weeks old) male rats were provided fructose (15%) as drinking solution, ad libitum, for 8 weeks and assessed for food and water/fructose intake, body weight, fasting blood sugar, mean arterial pressure, lipid biochemistry, endocrinal (insulin, leptin), histopathological (fatty liver) and immunohistochemical (hepatic glucose transporter [GLUT2]) parameters. Parallel treatment groups were administered PG in doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg/d, po × 8 weeks and assessed for same parameters. Using extensive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry protocols, PG was analyzed for the presence of phytoconstituents like Myrecetin, Luteolin, Kaempferol and Guavanoic acid and validated to contain Quercetin up to 9.9%w/w. Results: High fructose intake raised circulating levels of insulin and leptin and hepatic GLUT2 expression to promote IR, dyslipidemia, and hypertension that were favorably re-set with PG. Although PG is known for its beneficial role in diabetes mellitus, for the first time we report its potential in the management of lifelong pathologies arising from high fructose intake initiated during developmental years.

Abstract
AIMS Exposure to toxic metals remains a widespread occupational and environmental problem in world. Chelation therapy is a mainstream treatment used to treat heavy metal poisoning. This paper describes the synthesis, characterization and therapeutic evaluation of monoisoamyl 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (MiADMSA)-encapsulated polymeric nanoparticles as a detoxifying agent for arsenic poisoning. MATERIALS & METHODS Polymeric nanoparticles entrapping the DMSA monoester, which can evade the reticulo-endothelial system and have a long circulation time in the blood, were prepared. Particle characterization was carried out by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. An in vivo study was conducted to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of MiADMSA-encapsulated polymeric nanoparticles (nano- MiADMSA; 50 mg/kg orally for 5 days) and comparison drawn with bulk MiADMSA. Swiss albino mice exposed to sodium arsenite for 4 weeks were treated for 5 days to evaluate alterations in blood, brain, kidney and liver oxidative stress variables. The study also evaluated the histopathological changes in tissues and the chelating potential of the nanoformulation. RESULTS Our results show that nano-MiADMSA have a narrow size distribution in the 50-nm range. We observed an enhanced chelating potential of nano-MiADMSA compared with bulk MiADMSA as evident in the reversal of biochemical changes indicative of oxidative stress and efficient removal of arsenic from the blood and tissues. Histopathological changes and urinary 8-OHdG levels also prove better therapeutic efficacy of the novel formulation for arsenic toxicity. CONCLUSION The results from our study show better therapeutic efficacy of nano-MiADMSA in removing arsenic burden from the brain and liver.

Abstract
Impaired Fas-mediated apoptosis is associated with poor clinical outcomes and cancer chemoresistance. Soluble Fas receptor (sFas), produced by skipping of exon 6, inhibits apoptosis by sequestering Fas ligand. Serum sFas is associated with poor prognosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. We found that the alternative splicing of Fas in lymphomas is tightly regulated by a long-noncoding RNA corresponding to an antisense transcript of Fas (FAS-AS1). Levels of FAS-AS1 correlate inversely with production of sFas, and FAS-AS1 binding to the RBM5 inhibits RBM5-mediated exon 6 skipping. EZH2, often mutated or overexpressed in lymphomas, hyper-methylates the FAS-AS1 promoter and represses the FAS-AS1 expression. EZH2-mediated repression of FAS-AS1 promoter can be released by DZNeP (3-Deazaneplanocin A) or overcome by ectopic expression of FAS-AS1, both of which increase levels of FAS-AS1 and correspondingly decrease expression of sFas. Treatment with Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor or EZH2 knockdown decreases the levels of EZH2, RBM5 and sFas, thereby enhancing Fas-mediated apoptosis. This is the first report showing functional regulation of Fas repression by its antisense RNA. Our results reveal new therapeutic targets in lymphomas and provide a rationale for the use of EZH2 inhibitors or ibrutinib in combination with chemotherapeutic agents that recruit Fas for effective cell killing.

The analysis focuses on identifying temporal and spatial features that can be used to stratify operational model evaluation metrics and to test the extent to which the various modeling systems can replicate the features seen in the observations. Using a synoptic map typing approach, it is demonstrated that model performance varies with meteorological conditions associated with specific synoptic-scale flow patterns over both eastern NA and EU. For example, the root mean square error of simulated daily maximum 8-hr ozone was twice as high when cloud fractions were high compared with when cloud fractions were low over eastern NA. Furthermore, results show that over both NA and EU the regional models participating in AQMEII were able to better reproduce the observed variance in ambient ozone levels than the global model used to specify chemical boundary conditions, although the variance simulated by almost all regional models is still less that the observed variance on all spatiotemporal scales. In addition, all modeling systems showed poor correlations with observed fluctuations on the intraday time scale over both NA and EU. Furthermore, a methodology is introduced to distinguish between locally influenced and regionally representative sites for the purpose of model evaluation. Results reveal that all models have worse model performance at locally influenced sites. Overall, the analyses presented in this paper show how observed temporal and spatial information can be used to stratify operational model performance statistics and to test the modeling systems' ability to replicate observed temporal and spatial features, especially at scales the modeling systems are designed to capture. IMPLICATIONS The analyses presented in this paper demonstrate how observed temporal and spatial information can be used to stratify operational model performance and to test the modeling systems' ability to replicate observed temporal and spatial features. Decisions for the improvement of regional air quality models should be based on the information derived from only regionally representative sites.
