Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with multifactorial causes, among which genetic risk factors play a part. The RAB GTPases are regulators and substrates of LRRK2, and variants in the LRRK2 gene are important risk factors for Parkinson's disease. We aimed to explore genetic variability in RAB GTPases within cases of familial Parkinson's disease. METHODS We did whole-exome sequencing in probands from families in Canada and Tunisia with Parkinson's disease without a genetic cause, who were recruited from the Centre for Applied Neurogenetics (Vancouver, BC, Canada), an international consortium that includes people with Parkinson's disease from 36 sites in 24 countries. 61 RAB GTPases were genetically screened, and candidate variants were genotyped in relatives of the probands to assess disease segregation by linkage analysis. Genotyping was also done to assess variant frequencies in individuals with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and controls, matched for age and sex, who were also from the Centre for Applied Neurogenetics but unrelated to the probands or each other. All participants were aged 18 years or older. The sequencing and genotyping findings were validated by case-control association analyses using bioinformatic data obtained from publicly available clinicogenomic databases (AMP-PD, GP2, and 100 000 Genomes Project) and a private German clinical diagnostic database (University of Tübingen). Clinical and pathological findings were summarised and haplotypes were determined. In-vitro studies were done to investigate protein interactions and enzyme activities. FINDINGS Between June 1, 2010, and May 31, 2017, 130 probands from Canada and Tunisia (47 [36%] female and 83 [64%] male; mean age 72·7 years [SD 11·7; range 38-96]; 109 White European ancestry, 18 north African, two east Asian, and one Hispanic] underwent whole-exome sequencing. 15 variants in RAB GTPase genes were identified, of which the RAB32 variant c.213C>G (Ser71Arg) cosegregated with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease in three families (nine affected individuals; non-parametric linkage Z score=1·95; p=0·03). 2604 unrelated individuals with Parkinson's disease and 344 matched controls were additionally genotyped, and five more people originating from five countries (Canada, Italy, Poland, Turkey, and Tunisia) were identified with the RAB32 variant. From the database searches, in which 6043 individuals with Parkinson's disease and 62 549 controls were included, another eight individuals were identified with the RAB32 variant from four countries (Canada, Germany, UK, and USA). Overall, the association of RAB32 c.213C>G (Ser71Arg) with Parkinson's disease was significant (odds ratio [OR] 13·17, 95% CI 2·15-87·23; p=0·0055; I2=99·96%). In the people who had the variant, Parkinson's disease presented at age 54·6 years (SD 12·75, range 31-81, n=16), and two-thirds had a family history of parkinsonism. RAB32 Ser71Arg heterozygotes shared a common haplotype, although penetrance was incomplete. Findings in one individual at autopsy showed sparse neurofibrillary tangle pathology in the midbrain and thalamus, without Lewy body pathology. In functional studies, RAB32 Arg71 activated LRRK2 kinase to a level greater than RAB32 Ser71. INTERPRETATION RAB32 Ser71Arg is a novel genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease, with reduced penetrance. The variant was found in individuals with Parkinson's disease from multiple ethnic groups, with the same haplotype. In-vitro assays show that RAB32 Arg71 activates LRRK2 kinase, which indicates that genetically distinct causes of familial parkinsonism share the same mechanism. The discovery of RAB32 Ser71Arg also suggests several genetically inherited causes of Parkinson's disease originated to control intracellular immunity. This shared aetiology should be considered in future translational research, while the global epidemiology of RAB32 Ser71Arg needs to be assessed to inform genetic counselling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Empty pelvis syndrome (EPS) is a significant source of morbidity following pelvic exenteration (PE), but is undefined. EPS outcome reporting and descriptors of radicality of PE are inconsistent; therefore, the best approaches for prevention are unknown. To facilitate future research into EPS, the aim of this study is to define a measurable core outcome set, core descriptor set and written definition for EPS. Consensus on strategies to mitigate EPS was also explored. METHOD Three-stage consensus methodology was used: longlisting with systematic review, healthcare professional event, patient engagement, and Delphi-piloting; shortlisting with two rounds of modified Delphi; and a confirmatory stage using a modified nominal group technique. This included a selection of measurement instruments, and iterative generation of a written EPS definition. RESULTS One hundred and three and 119 participants took part in the modified Delphi and consensus meetings, respectively. This encompassed international patient and healthcare professional representation with multidisciplinary input. Seventy statements were longlisted, seven core outcomes (bowel obstruction, enteroperineal fistula, chronic perineal sinus, infected pelvic collection, bowel obstruction, morbidity from reconstruction, re-intervention, and quality of life), and four core descriptors (magnitude of surgery, radiotherapy-induced damage, methods of reconstruction, and changes in volume of pelvic dead space) reached consensus-where applicable, measurement of these outcomes and descriptors was defined. A written definition for EPS was agreed. CONCLUSIONS EPS is an area of unmet research and clinical need. This study provides an agreed definition and core data set for EPS to facilitate further research.

Abstract
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Mendelian forms have revealed multiple genes, with a notable emphasis on membrane trafficking; RAB GTPases play an important role in PD as a subset are both regulators and substrates of LRRK2 protein kinase. To explore the role of RAB GTPases in PD, we undertook a comprehensive examination of their genetic variability in familial PD. Methods Affected probands from 130 multi-incident PD families underwent whole-exome sequencing and genotyping, Potential pathogenic variants in 61 RAB GTPases were genotyped in relatives to assess disease segregation. These variants were also genotyped in a larger case-control series, totaling 3,078 individuals (2,734 with PD). The single most significant finding was subsequently validated within genetic data (6,043 with PD). Clinical and pathologic findings were summarized for gene-identified patients, and haplotypes were constructed. In parallel, wild-type and mutant RAB GTPase structural variation, protein interactions, and resultant enzyme activities were assessed. Findings We found RAB32 c.213C>G (Ser71Arg) to co-segregate with autosomal dominant parkinsonism in three multi-incident families. RAB32 Ser71Arg was also significantly associated with PD in case-control samples: genotyping and database searches identified thirteen more patients with the same variant that was absent in unaffected controls. Notably, RAB32 Ser71Arg heterozygotes share a common haplotype. At autopsy, one patient had sparse neurofibrillary tangle pathology in the midbrain and thalamus, without Lewy body pathology. In transfected cells the RAB32 Arg71 was twice as potent as Ser71 wild type to activate LRRK2 kinase. Interpretation Our study provides unequivocal evidence to implicate RAB32 Ser71Arg in PD. Functional analysis demonstrates LRRK2 kinase activation. We provide a mechanistic explanation to expand and unify the etiopathogenesis of monogenic PD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The association between heavy weekly alcohol consumption or binge drinking and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is still unclear.
Purpose
To determine the risks of MACE at one year follow up according to baseline alcohol consumption, especially in patients with heavy weekly alcohol consumption or binge drinking.
Methods
We analyzed data of 6053 patients hospitalized in 4 Swiss centres for an ACS and followed over 12 months. Data on alcohol consumption were collected at baseline and at one year follow up after ACS. Binge drinking was defined as the consumption of ≥6 units of alcohol on one occasion, for the 12-months period preceding the one-year follow up. We defined MACE as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke or clinically indicated target vessel coronary revascularization. We applied Cox regression to assess the risk of MACE associated with heavy alcohol weekly consumption (>14 standard units/week) compared to light consumption (<1 standard unit/week) or abstinence, as well as the risk with binge drinking, compared to no binge drinking, adjusting for baseline differences (age, sex, body-mass index, smoking, diabetes, peripheral artery disease, stroke, hypertension, use of aspirin, anticoagulation, statin, beta-blocker, ACE-inhibitor or ATII receptor blocker).
Results
At baseline, 817 (13.4%) patients reported heavy weekly alcohol consumption and 717 (11.8%) reported to have at least one episode of binge drinking per month. The risk for MACE at one year follow up was not increased in those with heavy weekly consumption compared to light consumption (8.7% vs. 8.5%, HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.69–1.33, P=0.80) or no consumption (8.7% vs. 10.3%, HR 1.26, 95% CI 0.88–1.80, P=0.21). However, the risk of MACE was higher in those reporting binge drinking with less than one episode a month (9.4% vs. 7.7%, HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.32–2.12, P<0.001), as well as in those with at least one episode of binge drinking per month (13.4% vs. 7.7%, HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.62–2.65, P<0.001), when compared to no binge drinking.
Conclusion
In contrast to regular heavy alcohol consumption, binge drinking behavior is associated with significant increased risk of MACE 12 months after ACS.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this article is to summarize the opinions of the surgical oncology leaders from the Global Forum of Cancer Surgeons (GFCS) about the global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on cancer surgery. Methods A panel session (virtual) was held at the annual Society of Surgical Oncology 2021 International Conference on Surgical Cancer Care to address the impact of COVID-19 on cancer surgery globally. Following the virtual meeting, a questionnaire was sent to all the leaders to gather additional opinions. The input obtained from all the leaders was collated and analyzed to understand how cancer surgeons from across the world adapted in real-time to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Results The surgical oncology leaders noted that the COVID-19 pandemic led to severe disruptions in surgical cancer care across all domains of clinical care, education, and research. Several new changes/protocols associated with increased costs were implemented to deliver safe care. Leaders also noted that preexisting disparities in care were exacerbated, and the pandemic had a detrimental effect on well-being and financial status. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions in surgical cancer care globally. Leaders of the GFCS opined that new strategies need to be implemented to prepare for any future catastrophic events based on the lessons learned from the current events. The GFCS will embark on developing such a roadmap to ensure that surgical cancer care is preserved in the future regardless of any catastrophic global events.

Abstract
AIM At presentation, 15-20% of patients with rectal cancer already have synchronous liver metastases. The aim of this study was to determine the surgical and survival outcomes in patients with advanced rectal cancer who underwent combined pelvic exenteration and liver (oligometastatic) resection. METHOD Data from 20 international institutions that performed simultaneous pelvic exenteration and liver resection between 2007 and 2017 were accumulated. Primarily, we examined perioperative outcomes, morbidity and mortality. We also assessed the impact that margin status had on survival. RESULTS Of 128 patients, 72 (56.2%) were men with a median age of 60 years [interquartile range (IQR) 15 years]. The median size of the liver oligometastatic deposits was 2 cm (IQR 1.8 cm). The median duration of surgery was 406 min (IQR 240 min), with a median blood loss of 1090 ml (IQR 2010 ml). A negative resection margin (R0 resection) was achieved in 73.5% of pelvic exenterations and 66.4% of liver resections. The 30-day mortality rate was 1.6%, and 32% of patients had a major postoperative complication. The 5-year overall survival for patients in whom an R0 resection of both primary and metastatic disease was achieved was 54.6% compared with 20% for those with an R1/R2 resection (P = 0.006). CONCLUSION Simultaneous pelvic exenteration and liver resection is feasible, with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Simultaneous resection should only be performed where an R0 resection of both pelvic and hepatic disease is anticipated.

Abstract
Epilepsy comprises more than 40 clinical syndromes affecting millions of patients and families worldwide. To decode the molecular and pathological framework of epilepsy researchers, need reliable human epilepsy and control brain samples. Brain bank organizations collecting and supplying well-documented clinically and pathophysiologically tissue specimens are important for high-quality neurophysiology and neuropharmacology studies for epilepsy and other neurological diseases. New development in molecular mechanism and new treatment methods for neurological disorders have evoked increased demands for human brain tissue. An epilepsy brain bank is a storage source for both the frozen samples as well as the formaldehyde fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue from epilepsy surgery resections. In 2014, the University of Saskatchewan have started collecting human epilepsy brain tissues for the first time in Canada. This review highlights the necessity and importance of Epilepsy Brain bank that provides unique access for research to valuable source of brain tissue and blood samples from epilepsy patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The gradual implementation of evidence-based treatment strategies has improved outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The Improved Reduction of Outcomes: Vytorin Efficacy International Trial (IMPROVE-IT) was published on June 3rd, 2015, but its relevance on real life practice has not been explored.
Methods
We analyzed a prospective Swiss cohort of 6266 patients hospitalized for ACS between 2009 and 2017. The primary endpoints were the ezetimibe use overall or in combination with high-intensity statin at discharge and at one year after ACS. Secondary endpoint was LDL-C target achievement at one year in a subsample of 2984 patients. Relative Ratios (RR) were used to assess changes in primary endpoints before and after the publication of IMPROVE-IT, adjusting for age, sex, pre-existing diabetes, history of myocardial infarction, baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and attendance to cardiac rehabilitation.
Results
The period following the publication of the IMPROVE-IT trial was associated with an overall increase in the use of ezetimibe at discharge (from 1.8% to 3.8%, P<0.001, adjusted RR 2.85, 95% CI 1.90–4.25) and at one year (from 5.0% to 13.8%, P<0.001, adjusted RR 3.00, 95% CI 2.40–3.75). Before IMPROVE-IT trial, ezetimibe use at one year was stable around 5%, then steadily increased after its publication until 20% for patients included in 2017. The combination of high-intensity statin and ezetimibe increased from 0.9% to 2.1% at discharge (P<0.001, adjusted RR 3.35, 95% CI 1.90–5.89) and from 2.1% to 7.8% at one year (P<0.001, adjusted RR 3.98, 95% CI 2.90–5.47). The period following the publication of the IMPROVE-IT trial was associated with an improvement of LDL-C target <1.8 mmol/L (adjusted RR 1.37, 95% CI 1.12–1.68).
Conclusion
After the publication of the IMPROVE-IT trial, the use of ezetimibe was increased by three-fold in a large contemporary cohort of ACS patients, concomitant with an improved LDL-C target achievement.

Abstract
From a certain level of exercise-intensity onward, hematocrit increases in horses, which brings more oxygen carriers into the bloodstream. Camels, however, when used in competitive racing could be even in need of iron supplementation and blood transfusions due to a severe reduction of their available hematocrit compared to their resting hematocrit. Since the extrinsic and intrinsic mechanical properties of camel erythrocytes (RBC) are so different compared to RBCs of other mammals, the question arises whether this observation might be a response to endurance exercise aiming at keeping the RBC count low. Rheometry indicated dromedary camel blood to behave almost Newtonian, which is unique amongst mammals. Shear thinning did increase with the hematocrit, but remained marginal compared to horses. As a result, camel whole blood viscosity (WBV) exceeded horse WBV at high shear rates, an effect, which was significantly augmented when the packed cell volume (PCV) was increased. Therefore, in camels any infusion of RBCs into the bloodstream can increase the cardiac work and the energy input into the endothelium more effectively, which should generate vascular remodeling in the long term. Yielding, however, was completely absent in camel blood, confirming low cohesion between its components at quasi-static flow. Camel blood remained a viscous liquid without a threshold even at unphysiologically high PCVs. This can help to washout lactate when camels start to dehydrate and might contribute to the sustained working ability of these animals. The subtle pseudoplastic behavior and the high viscosity contrast across the RBC membrane point to weak coupling between blood flow and red cell behavior. We predict that RBCs flow as separate entities and can show various types of motion, which can lead to friction instead of being collectively aligned to the flow direction. In comparison to horses, this behavior will become relevant at higher RBC counts in front of flow obstacles and possibly cause vascular remodeling if the PCV rises during strenuous exercise, a matter that should be avoided.

Abstract
Background The dromedary camel and the oryx antelope are exposed to excessive heat and solar radiation in their
desert habitat. Desertification of areas with by now little rainfall may occur eventually. Well-adapted large animal species
show us what is needed to survive in scorching regions. Methods Four scimitar-horned oryx antelopes (Oryx dammah), 10 camels (Camelus dromedarius), nine South African
Merino sheep, and 17 Nguni cows were tested for RBC aggregation, RBC elongation, and plasma viscosity. The temperature
dependency of blood viscosity was tested in 10 camels and compared to human reference values. Results Unlike sheep, Nguni cow, and dromedary camel, oryx RBCs aggregate in native plasma (M0:5.2 (3.3/6.7);
M1:18.1 (16.7/27.9); Myrenne MA1). Elongation indices of oryx RBCs were intermediate to low (EImax: 22.6 (19.2/25.3);
SS1/2 3.67 (2.52/4.95); Rheodyn SSD). Camel RBCs did not display the typical SS/EI curve by rotational ektacytometry.
In-vitro blood viscosity (Physica MCR302) was lower in camels than in human blood at equal hematocrit. A decrease of
temperature had only little effect on camel blood. At 10 s−1, blood viscosity in camel increased from 2.18mPa*s (2.01/2.37)
at 42◦C to 4.39mPa*s (4.22/4.51) at 12◦C. In human blood, viscosity ranged from 8.21mPa*s (6.95/8.25) at 37◦C to
15.52mPa*s (14.25/16.03) at 12◦C. At 1000 s−1, blood viscosity in camel ranged from 2.00mPa*s (1.95/2.04) at 42◦C to
3.98mPa*s (3.88/4.08) at 12◦C. In human blood, viscosity ranged from 5.35mPa*s (4.96/5.87) at 37◦C to 11.24mPa*s
(10.06/11.17) at 12◦C. Conclusions Desert ungulates may need RBC membranes, which are fortified to withstand changes in osmolality
during dehydration-rehydration cycles. This reduces RBC deformability. Dromedary camel blood does not undergo stark
changes in viscosity with changes in temperature. Therefore, blood fluidity could be rather maintained during the day and
night cycle. This should reduce the need of the vascularity to rhythmically adapt to changing shear forces when camels
experience heterothermy.

Abstract
The potential for developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) of environmental chemicals may be evaluated using specific test guidelines from the US Environmental Protection Agency or the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). These guidelines generate neurobehavioral, neuropathological, and morphometric data that are evaluated by regulatory agencies globally. Data from these DNT guideline studies, or the more recent OECD extended one-generation reproductive toxicity guideline, play a pivotal role in children's health risk assessment in different world areas. Data from the same study may be interpreted differently by regulatory authorities in different countries resulting in inconsistent evaluations that may lead to inconsistencies in risk assessment decisions internationally, resulting in regional differences in public health protection or in commercial trade barriers. These issues of data interpretation and reporting are also relevant to juvenile and pre-postnatal studies conducted more routinely for pharmaceuticals and veterinary medicines. There is a need for development of recommendations geared toward the operational needs of the regulatory scientific reviewers who apply these studies in risk assessments, as well as the scientists who generate DNT data sets. The workshops summarized here draw upon the experience of the authors representing government, industry, contract research organizations, and academia to discuss the scientific issues that have emerged from diverse regulatory evaluations. Although various regulatory bodies have different risk management decisions and labeling requirements that are difficult to harmonize, the workshops provided an opportunity to work toward more harmonized scientific approaches for evaluating DNT data within the context of different regulatory frameworks. Five speakers and their coauthors with neurotoxicology, neuropathology, and regulatory toxicology expertise discussed issues of variability, data reporting and analysis, and expectations in DNT data that are encountered by regulatory authorities. In addition, principles for harmonized evaluation of data were suggested using guideline DNT data as case studies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Age- and sex-specific fracture rates of 18,000 people with developmental disabilities aged 0-69 years were compared to the general population. Age-standardized incidence of femoral fracture was 4.8- and 7.1-fold higher in women and men, respectively. Comparable fracture risks to the general population occurred 10-15 years earlier in females and 20-40 years earlier in males. INTRODUCTION Previous studies suggested that fracture risks in people with developmental disabilities (DD) may be higher than in people in the general population. However, there are no current sufficiently large studies to compare age- and sex-specific fracture rates of single fracture types. METHODS People with DD and incident fractures were identified by routine data of a health insurance company. Fractures in the general population were derived from the official fracture statistics. Age-specific and age-standardized fracture incidences were analyzed. To compare fracture risks in people with DD with that of the general population incidence ratios were calculated. RESULTS Between 2008 and 2010, 148 femoral fractures and 469 other fractures were observed in nearly 18,000 people with DD aged 0-69 years. The three most frequent fracture types leading to hospital admission were fractures of the femur, lower leg/ankle, and shoulder/arm. For femoral fractures, a particularly high risk was observed in children and adolescents with DD. In adults with DD, the risk of femoral fractures increased with increasing age. Even if the youngest age category was not considered, the age-standardized incidence was 4.8- and 7.1-fold higher in women and men, respectively. For all other fracture types, except fractures of forearm/hand and of pelvis, people with DD had also higher fracture incidences than the general population. CONCLUSIONS People with DD have a high fracture burden. Comparable risks of femoral fracture, for example, occurred about 10-15 years earlier in females and even 20-40 years earlier in males with DD than in the general population.

Abstract
Recommendations for malaria prevention for travelers planning a trip in medium to low risk countries differ between countries, despite the fact that people are exposed to the same risk in the travelled country. Decision aids have been developed and tested in a population of travelers planning a trip in such countries n order to present travelers the various prevention options and involve them in the decision. The use of the decision aid showed that he majority of people choose not to take chemoprophylaxis and that they could motivate their choice with valid reasons. The development of decision aids based on recognized quality criteria is foreseen; these will allow to improving the relevance of the recommendations and enable travelers to choose a prevention option that will be the closest to their values and preferences while following to the principles of medical ethics.

The resting ECG is a safe, low cost and widely available in the clinical investigation of several cardiac symptoms. However, there is controversy regarding the use as a screening tool or routine cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment test among healthy asymptomatic adults. Two recent studies reported that ECG adds supplemental information in the estimation of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk in asymptomatic patients, especially in those with intermediate risk. However, we currently need more data on the impact of ECG on the prevention of clinical CV outcomes, especially in a randomized clinical trial, and on additional costs of testing and treatment. For the time being, routine ECG testing is not recommended for the prevention of CV events among healthy asymptomatic adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Recent studies have shown that narrow-band imaging (NBI) is a powerful diagnostic tool for differentiating between neoplastic and nonneoplastic colorectal polyps. The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate a computer-based method for automated classification of colorectal polyps on the basis of vascularization features. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a prospective pilot study with 128 patients who were undergoing zoom NBI colonoscopy, 209 detected polyps were visualized and subsequently removed for histological analysis. The proposed computer-based method consists of image preprocessing, vessel segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The results of the automated classification were compared to those of human observers blinded to the histological gold standard. RESULTS Consensus decision between the human observers resulted in a sensitivity of 93.8 % and a specificity of 85.7 %. A "safe" decision, i. e., classifying polyps as neoplastic in cases when there was interobserver discrepancy, yielded a sensitivity of 96.9 % and a specificity of 71.4 %. The overall correct classification rates were 91.9 % for the consensus decision and 90.9 % for the safe decision. With ideal settings the computer-based approach achieved a sensitivity of approximately 90 % and a specificity of approximately 70 %, while the overall correct classification rate was 85.3 %. The computer-based classification showed a specificity of 61.2 % when a sensitivity of 93.8 % was selected, and a 53.1 % specificity with a sensitivity of 96.9 %. CONCLUSIONS Automated classification of colonic polyps on the basis of NBI vascularization features is feasible, but classification by observers is still superior. Further research is needed to clarify whether the performance of the automated classification system can be improved.

Abstract
Several improvements are described for the existing tritium enrichment system at the Isotope Hydrology Laboratory of the International Atomic Energy Agency for processing natural water samples. The improvements include a simple method for pretreatment of electrolytic cells to ensure a high tritium separation factor, an improved design of the exhaust system for explosive gases, and a vacuum distillation line for faster initial preparation of water samples for electrolytic enrichment and for tritium analysis. Achievements included the reduction of variation of individual enrichment parameters of all cells to less than 1% and an improvement of 50% of the stability of the background mean. It resulted in an improved detection limit of less than 0.4 TU (at 2s), important for application of tritium measurements in the future at low concentration levels, and resulted in measurement precisions of+/-0.2 TU and+/-0.15 TU for liquid scintillation counting and for gas proportional counting, respectively.

Abstract
Lethal dose experiments in animals have demonstrated that second-generation perfluorocarbon oxygen carriers are remarkably non-toxic. However, this non-toxicity has not previously been demonstrated in a liver failure scenario. A surgical liver damage and regeneration model in rats was selected using a well-controlled cross tabulated study design. A large number of physiological, biochemical, and hematological parameters were measured. No indications were found that intravenously injected perfluorooctyl bromide emulsion was toxic at the concentrations employed, in either healthy or severe liver injury scenarios. Neither was there any significant impact on the rate of liver regeneration following the injuries. Bearing in mind prior human clinical studies, it is therefore safe to assume that perfluorocarbon emulsions are also non-toxic in bioartificial liver treatments.

Abstract
The authors describe the clinical course, postmortem findings, and characterization of a novel autoantibody (anti-M-phase phosphoprotein-1 [anti-MPP-1]) in a patient with a longstanding acquired demyelinating polyneuropathy and neuronopathy. Postmortem examination identified active sensory neuron degeneration, sensory axon loss, and widespread peripheral nerve demyelination. A possible pathophysiologic role of anti-MPP-1 is not yet identified.

Abstract
Folate-sensitive fragile sites are associated with the expansion and hypermethylation of CCG-repeats. The fragile site in 11q23.3, FRA11B, has been shown to cause chromosome deletions in vivo, its expression being associated with Jacobsen (11q-) syndrome. However, the majority of Jacobsen deletions are distal to FRA11B and are not related to its expression. To test the hypothesis that other unidentified fragile sites might be located in 11q23.3-24 and may cause these deletions, we have identified and characterised CCG-trinucleotide repeats within a 40 Mb YAC contig spanning distal chromosome 11q. Only eight CCG-repeats were identified within the entire YAC contig (not including FRA11B ), six of which map to the region of 11q23.3-24 that includes Jacobsen deletions. We have previously collated the deletion mapping data of 24 Jacobsen patients with the physical map of chromosome 11q, and accurately localised six breakpoints to short intervals corresponding to individual YAC clones. We now show that in each of these cases, YAC clones found to contain a deletion breakpoint also contain a CCG-repeat. The improved analysis of one of these deletions, together with those of several new Jacobsen cases, further strengthens this association by localising five breakpoints to individual PAC clones containing CCG-repeats. These data provide strong evidence for the non-random clustering of chromosome deletion breakpoints with CCG-repeats, and suggests that they may play an important role in a common mechanism of chromosome breakage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE FTY720, a new immunosuppressant active in transplantation models, modulates lymphocyte re-circulation, leading to peripheral lymphopenia and increased lymphocytes in lymph nodes and Peyer's patches. Here, we investigated the susceptibility of baboons to FTY720 as an introductory study to transplantation protocols. METHODS FTY720 was administered orally to Chacma baboons at 0.3 or 0.1 mg/kg/day for 3 days or at 0.03 mg/kg/day for 10 days. Haematological parameters, lymphocyte phenotype (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20), cell apoptosis, ex vivo blood cell proliferation in response to mitogens and drug blood levels were monitored during treatment and up to 4 weeks thereafter. MAIN FINDINGS FTY720 administered p.o. in baboons at 0.3 mg/kg/day caused a marked decrease in circulating lymphocytes within 4 h of treatment, reaching 60-80% decrease within 24-48 h. The effect of FTY720 was seen both on T- and B cells, although it was slightly more rapid/pronounced on T cells. CD4+ cells were slightly more affected than CD8+ cells. The response onset was faster and the duration longer at higher dose, but the maximal peripheral lymphodepletion achieved was similar within the dose range 0.03-0.3 mg/kg tested. Ex vivo mitogen-induced lymphoproliferation was drastically decreased after FTY720 treatment, corresponding to the reduced blood lymphocyte counts. The blood drug levels measured after FTY720 administration correlated well with the dose applied but there was a poor correlation between FTY720 blood levels and the extent of peripheral lymphodepletion, suggestive of a high tissue distribution of the drug. When compared with cynomolgus monkeys treated in the same way, baboons had a lower initial exposure and a slightly lower response 24 h after one or two doses of FTY720 0.03-0.3 mg/kg. However, the stabilized drug blood levels and peripheral lymphodepletion achieved after 7 days of FTY720 0.03 mg/kg/day were similar in both nonhuman primate species. CONCLUSIONS FTY720 was well tolerated and was effective in terms of peripheral T- and B lymphodepletion in baboons, indicating that it could be used in protocols of allo- and xenotransplantation. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of FTY720 in baboons suggest the use of high induction doses to optimize immediate response followed by a reduced dose regimen for drug maintenance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND METHODS To find an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) range for laparoscopic procedures that elicits only moderate splanchnic and pulmonary hemodynamic and metabolic changes, including hepatic and intestinal tissue pH and superficial hepatic blood flow, we installed an IAP of 7 and 14 mm Hg each for 30 minutes in 10 healthy pigs (30 +/- 4 kg). RESULTS In parallel with the increase of IAP, the mean transmural pulmonary artery pressure increased (from 25 +/- 3 to 27 +/- 4 at 7 mm Hg IAP and 30 +/- 6 mm Hg at 14 mm Hg IAP, p < 0.05); the pulmonary artery-to-pulmonary capillary wedge pressure gradient also increased (from 17 +/- 2.7 to 21 +/- 3 mm Hg at 7 mm Hg IAP and 24 +/- 4.2 mm Hg at 14 mm Hg IAP, p < 0.01), and the arterial oxygenation decreased (p < 0.005). Relevant changes at an IAP of 14 mm Hg were observed in right atrial pressure during inspiration (from 7 +/- 2 to 12 +/- 3 mm Hg, p < 0. 0001) and in abdominal aortic flow (from 1.43 +/- 0.4 to 1.19 +/- 0. 3 L/min, p < 0.01). However, transmural right atrial pressure and cardiac output remained essentially unchanged. Portal and hepatic venous pressure increased in parallel with the IAP (portal: from 12 +/- 3 to 17 +/- 3 at 7 mm Hg IAP and 22 +/- 3 mm Hg at 14 mm Hg IAP, p < 0.01; hepatic venous: from 8 +/- 3 to 14 +/- 6 at 7 mm Hg IAP and 19 +/- 6 mm Hg at 14 mm Hg IAP, p < 0.005), but the transmural portal and hepatic venous pressures decreased (p < 0.01), indicating decreased venous filling. Portal flow was maintained at 7 mm Hg but decreased at 14 mm Hg from 474 +/- 199 to 395 +/- 175 mL/min (p < 0. 01), whereas hepatic arterial flow remained stable. Hepatic superficial blood flow decreased during insufflation and increased after desufflation. Tissue pH fell together with portal and hepatic venous pH (intestinal: from 7.323 +/- 0.05 to 7.217 +/- 0.04; hepatic: from 7.259 +/- 0.04 to 7.125 +/- 0.06, both p < 0.01) at 14 mm Hg. CONCLUSION The hemodynamic and metabolic derangement in the pulmonary and splanchnic compartments are dependent on the extent of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum. The effect of low IAP (7 mm Hg) on splanchnic perfusion is minimal. However, higher IAPs (14 mm Hg) decrease portal and superficial hepatic blood flow and hepatic and intestinal tissue pH.

Abstract
Eighty-four patients with typical chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (by morphological and immunophenotypic criteria) on whom karyotypes were available were studied. Binet stage at diagnosis and follow-up were defined. Survival was calculated from diagnosis. Fifty-one percent of patients had a karyotypic abnormality, the commonest being abnormalities at 13q14 (16%); these patients did not have significantly different survival from patients with normal karyotype. The second commonest abnormality was del(11q) (13%); these patients had significantly worse survival when compared both with patients with normal karyotype (P < 0.0001) and with other patients with karyotypic abnormality (P = 0.0012). All patients with del(11q) had progressed to stage C at follow-up while only 20% of the other patients had shown any disease progression (P < 0.0001). Del(11q) may identify a subset of patients with typical CLL who have worse survival and consistent disease progression and in future may help define a group of patients with CLL who could benefit from earlier or more intensive therapy.

Abstract
We report 2 patients with acute symmetrical axonal motor and sensory polyneuropathy associated with vasculitis. The clinical presentation in each case was not that of a mononeuritis multiplex. Serial electrophysiological studies in 1 of the patients documented the development of confluent axonal degeneration involving several motor and sensory territories over the same period of time. In both patients the diagnosis of necrotizing vasculitis was established by peripheral nerve biopsy and recovery followed treatment with prednisone and cyclophosphamide. Biopsy of an involved nerve should be routinely sought in unexplained acute axonal polyneuropathies.

Abstract
Anterior spina bifida or butterfly vertebral body has a well known and characteristic appearance on plain film and CT. Its appearance on magnetic resonance imaging also appears to be characteristic and should not be mistaken for more serious abnormalities.

Abstract
Neuronal necrosis in the brain resulting from status epilepticus of 15 to 120 minutes duration in ventilated and well-oxygenated rats was assessed. Seizures were induced by inhalation of the convulsant gas flurothyl, and terminated by withdrawal of flurothyl and a single injection of thiopental. The animals were allowed to recover for one week, and neuronal damage was assessed by cell counts following subserial sectioning of the brain and microscopical examination of the sections. Infarction of the pars reticulata of the substantia nigra occurred in 5 of the 6 animals with seizure duration of 30 minutes, and in all animals with longer seizure durations. There also was a common affectation of the central parts of the globus pallidus. The pars compacta of the substantia nigra was never affected. After 45 to 120 minutes of seizures, moderate neuronal necrosis was observed in the neocortex (layers 3 and 4), and after 60 to 120 minutes was seen in amygdaloid and thalamic nuclei, as well as in CA4 and CA1 hippocampal pyramidal cells. Notably, CA3 neurons were not damaged nor were dentate granule cells affected. After 120 minutes of seizures, damage regularly affected the neocortex and the ventral-posterior nuclei of the thalamus. A conspicuous feature was the localization of neuronal necrosis at sites close to the ventricles.

Abstract
A description is presented of a new flow-cytometer (FCM) computer system, the EPICS C analyzer, which was developed to be used by a moderately trained technician as opposed to an FCM expert. The system was made robust and user-friendly by the use of menu-based rather than command-driven software. The user primarily interacts with the self-explanatory menus by depressing one of the eight membrane selector switches located on each side of the screen. The minimizing of typing and restriction of the user's responses greatly simplify the use and design of the software. The EPICS C operates in two modes: as a reliable clinical instrument and as a research tool. The instrument settings are stored on disk files rather than manually logged into a book. The settings for the predefined tests are read from the disk.

Abstract
Unilateral ablations of the motor cortex were performed on rats. One to two weeks following the ablation they were subjected to 30 min of reversible insulin-induced hypoglycemic coma. The levels of glutamate, aspartate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), taurine, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and phosphocreatine (PCr) were determined in frozen tissue sections from the superior half of the caudate nucleus. The lesions induced a specific reduction in the levels of glutamate by approx. 10% in the dorsal caudate nucleus ipsilateral to the lesion, while no significant differences in the levels of aspartate, GABA, taurine, ATP, ADP, AMP or PCr were noted. Neuronal necrosis in the caudate nucleus in animals subjected to 30 min of insulin-induced hypoglycemic coma and one week recovery was assessed by light microscopy. Contralateral to the lesion, extensive neuronal necrosis, mainly affecting small and medium-sized neurons, was observed in the dorsal and lateral caudate nucleus. In the caudate ipsilateral to the lesion a complete amelioration of necrosis was noted in areas subjacent to the lesion. The data suggest that hypoglycemic brain damage is induced by excitotoxins such as glutamate or related compounds.
