Abstract
The Jumonji C domain-containing family of histone lysine demethylases (Jumonji KDMs) have emerged as promising cancer therapy targets. These enzymes remove methyl groups from various histone lysines and, in turn, regulate processes including chromatin compaction, gene transcription, and DNA repair. Small molecule inhibitors of Jumonji KDMs have shown promise in preclinical studies against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other cancers. However, how these inhibitors influence cancer therapy responses and/or DNA repair is incompletely understood. In this study, we established cell line and PDX tumor model systems of cisplatin and paclitaxel-resistant NSCLC. We showed that resistant cells and tumors express high levels of Jumonji-KDMs. Knockdown of individual KDMs or treatment with a pan-Jumonji KDM inhibitor sensitized the cells and tumors to cisplatin and paclitaxel and blocked NSCLC in vivo tumor growth. Mechanistically, we found inhibition of Jumonji-KDMs triggers APC/Cdh1-dependent degradation of CtIP and PAF15, two DNA repair proteins that promote repair of cisplatin and paclitaxel-induced DNA lesions. Knockdown of CtIP and PAF15 sensitized resistant cells to cisplatin, indicating their degradation when Jumonji KDMs are inhibited contributes to cisplatin sensitivity. Our results support the idea that Jumonji-KDMs are a targetable barrier to effective therapy responses in NSCLC. Inhibition of Jumonji KDMs increases therapy (cisplatin/paclitaxel) sensitivity in NSCLC cells, at least in part, by promoting APC/Cdh1-dependent degradation of CtIP and PAF15.

Abstract
Simple Summary Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive cancer type with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Our research has revealed that a protein called prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP) is a potential therapy target for TNBC. We found that high levels of PRCP in tumors coincides with worse prognosis in TNBC patients. Inhibition of PRCP with a small molecule inhibitor blocked TNBC cell and tumor growth and inhibited the activity of several receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), proteins that are located on the surface of cells and that are important for cancer development and progression. Our findings suggest that PRCP is a novel prognostic factor for TNBC and that specific inhibitors of PRCP could be developed for TNBC treatment. Abstract TNBC is an aggressive cancer sub-type with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. New therapeutic targets are needed to improve outcomes in TNBC patients. PRCP is a lysosomal serine protease that cleaves peptide substrates when the penultimate amino acid is proline. A role for PRCP in TNBC or other cancers, and its potential as a therapy target has not yet been tested. In the current study, we found high tumor expression of PRCP associates with worse outcome and earlier recurrence in TNBC patients. Knockdown of PRCP or treatment with a small molecule PRCP inhibitor blocked proliferation and survival in TNBC cell lines and inhibited growth of TNBC tumors in mice. Mechanistically, we found PRCP maintains signaling from multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), potentially by promoting crosstalk between RTKs and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Lastly, we found that the PRCP inhibitor caused synergistic killing of TNBC cells when combined with the EGFR and ErbB2 inhibitor lapatinib. Our results suggest that PRCP is potential prognostic marker for TNBC patient outcome and a novel therapeutic target for TNBC treatment.

Abstract
Wild-type p53 is a stress-responsive transcription factor and potent tumor suppressor. P53 activates or represses genes involved in cell cycle progression or apoptosis in order to arrest the cell cycle or induce cell death. Transcription repression by p53 is indirect and requires repressive members of the RB-family (RB1, RBL1, RBL2) and formation of repressor complexes of RB1-E2F and RBL1/RBL2-DREAM. Many aurora kinase A/B (AURKA/B) pathway genes are repressed in a p53-DREAM-dependent manner. We found heightened expression of RBL2 and reduced expression of AURKA/B pathway genes is associated with improved outcomes in p53 wild-type but not p53 mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Knockdown of p53, RBL2, or the DREAM component LIN37 increased AURKA/B pathway gene expression and reduced paclitaxel and radiation toxicity in NSCLC cells. In contrast, pharmacologic inhibition of AURKA/B or knockdown of AURKA/B pathway components increased paclitaxel and IR sensitivity. The results support a model in which p53-RBL2-DREAM-mediated repression of the AURKA/B pathway contributes to tumor suppression, improved tumor therapy responses, and better outcomes in p53 wild-type NSCLCs.

Abstract
Tamoxifen (TAM) is the first-line endocrine therapy for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC). However, acquired resistance occurs in ∼50% cases. Meanwhile, although the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is a viable target for treatment of endocrine therapy-refractory patients, complex signaling feedback loops exist, which can counter the effectiveness of inhibitors of this pathway. Here, we analyzed signaling pathways and metabolism in ER+ MCF7 BC cell line and their TAM-resistant derivatives that are co-resistant to endoxifen using immunoblotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and the Agilent Seahorse XF Analyzer. We found that activation of AKT and the energy-sensing kinase AMPK was increased in TAM and endoxifen-resistant cells. Furthermore, ERRα/PGC-1β and their target genes MCAD and CPT-1 were increased and regulated by AMPK, which coincided with increased fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and autophagy in TAM-resistant cells. Inhibition of AKT feedback-activates AMPK and ERRα/PGC-1β-MCAD/CPT-1 with a consequent increase in FAO and autophagy that counters the therapeutic effect of endoxifen and AKT inhibitors. Therefore, our results indicate increased activation of AKT and AMPK with metabolic reprogramming and increased autophagy in TAM-resistant cells. Simultaneous inhibition of AKT and FAO/autophagy is necessary to fully sensitize resistant cells to endoxifen.

Abstract
Prolyl endopeptidase (PREP), also known as prolyl oligopeptidase (POP), is an enzyme that cleaves short peptides (<30 amino acids in length) on the C-terminal side of proline. PREP is highly expressed in multiple carcinomas and is a potential target for cancer therapy. A potent inhibitor of PREP, Y-29794, causes long-lasting inhibition of PREP in mouse tissues. However, there are no reports on Y-29794 effects on cancer cell and tumor proliferation. Using cell line models of aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), we show here that Y-29794 inhibited proliferation and induced death in multiple TNBC cell lines. Cell death induced by Y-29794 coincided with inhibition of the IRS1-AKT-mTORC1 survival signaling pathway, although stable depletion of PREP alone was not sufficient to reduce IRS1-AKT-mTORC1 signaling or induce death. These results suggest that Y-29794 elicits its cancer cell killing effect by targeting other mechanisms in addition to PREP. Importantly, Y-29794 inhibited tumor growth when tested in xenograft models of TNBC in mice. Induction of cell death in culture and inhibition of xenograft tumor growth support the potential utility of Y-29794 or its derivatives as a treatment option for TNBC tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although home blood pressure (BP) monitoring interventions have shown potential in selected populations, it is unclear whether such strategies can be generalized. We sought to determine whether a multifaceted BP control program that uses a web-based health portal (Heart360), community health coaches, and physician assistant guidance could improve hypertension control in a diverse community setting. METHODS AND RESULTS Between September 12, 2010, and November 11, 2011 Check It, Change It, a community-based hypertension quality improvement program, enrolled 1756 patients with hypertension from 8 clinics in Durham County, NC. The Check It, Change It community intervention was evaluated using a prepost study design without a concurrent control. Participants were stratified into 3 tiers according to their initial BP: tier 0 (BP <140/90 mm Hg)=51% of population, tier 1 (BP=140/90-159/99 mm Hg)=30% of total, and tier 2 (BP ≥159/99 mm Hg)=19% of total. Overall, median age was 59 years (interquartile range, 49-69), 67% were female, and 76% black. After 6 months, the mean overall systolic BP declined 4.7 mm Hg. Rates of achieving target BP control (<140/90) increased overall from 51% at baseline to 63% by 6 months, and 69% had either reached their BP target or had reduced their baseline systolic BP by 10 mm Hg or more. CONCLUSIONS A multicomponent-tiered hypertension program was associated with improved BP control in a diverse community-based population.

Abstract
Sleep complaints and sleep disorders are common during childhood and adolescence. The impact of not getting enough sleep may affect children's' physical health as well emotional, cognitive and social development. Insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, parasomnias and sleep disturbances associated with medical and psychiatric disorders are some of the commonly encountered sleep disorders in this age group. Changes in sleep architecture and the amount of sleep requirement associated with each stage of development should be considered during an evaluation of sleep disorders in children. Behavioral treatments should be used initially wherever possible especially considering that most pharmacologic agents used to treat pediatric sleep disorders are off-label. In this review we address the most common sleep problems in children/adolescents as they relate to prevalence, presentation and symptoms, evaluation and management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to characterize temporal trends, patient-specific factors, and geographic variation associated with amputation in patients with lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (LE PAD) during the study period. BACKGROUND Amputation represents the end-stage failure for those with LE PAD, and little is known about the rates and geographic variation in the use of LE amputation. METHODS By using data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2008, we examined national patterns of LE amputation among patients age 65 years or more with PAD. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust regional results for other patient demographic and clinical factors. RESULTS Among 2,730,742 older patients with identified PAD, the overall rate of LE amputation decreased from 7,258 per 100,000 patients with PAD to 5,790 per 100,000 (p < 0.001 for trend). Male sex, black race, diabetes mellitus, and renal disease were all independent predictors of LE amputation. The adjusted odds ratio of LE amputation per year between 2000 and 2008 was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.95-0.95, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS From 2000 to 2008, LE amputation rates decreased significantly among patients with PAD. However, there remains significant patient and geographic variation in amputation rates across the United States.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efforts to improve quality of care for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are a national priority. To date, there have been few studies that have prospectively evaluated hospital quality improvement (QI) interventions. METHODS AND RESULTS Using hospitals in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) ACTION Registry-GWTG, a cluster randomized trial of the effectiveness of targeted performance feedback to facilitate process improvement for AMI care will be conducted. ACTION Registry-GWTG hospitals with a minimum of 50 AMI patients per 2 quarters are eligible for randomization. The control arm receives standard performance feedback reports, and the intervention arm receives standard performance feedback reports in addition to a supplemental report on the "top 3" centrally identified, hospital-specific performance gaps. The primary outcome will be improvement in a composite of all metrics, and the secondary outcome will be improvement in the targeted metrics. At study inception in January 2009, 149 sites were randomized: 76 to the intervention arm, and 73 to the control arm. Intervention and control sites were well balanced in terms of baseline performance, center characteristics, and AMI volume (≈70 patients per quarter). The intervention phase will continue for 5 feedback cycles, each containing 2 quarters of data feedback over 18 months. A final trial outcome report will follow. CONCLUSIONS This randomized trial will evaluate a novel hospital-level QI intervention of targeted performance feedback for AMI, thereby demonstrating the effective use of national registries for QI and furthering our understanding of effective QI methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many epidemiologic studies have reported that obesity is associated with short sleep duration. How the degree of obesity or other clinical characteristics of the obese individuals, such as sleep disturbances or emotional stress, define this relation is not known. DESIGN We studied a random sample of 1300 middle-aged men and women from the Penn State Cohort in the sleep laboratory for one night. Sleep disturbances were recorded as insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or sleep difficulty. Chronic emotional stress was determined by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). RESULTS Obese individuals (body mass index, BMI>30) reported shorter duration of sleep, had a higher incidence of subjective sleep disturbances (47.4 vs 25.5%; P<0.01) and scored higher for chronic emotional stress than nonobese subjects. However, there was no difference in self-reported sleep duration between obese and nonobese individuals without subjective sleep disturbances, while both obese men and women with sleep complaints scored higher in the MMPI-2 compared to obese individuals without sleep complaints. The shortest sleep duration was reported by the obese insomniac patients (5.9 h), followed by obese with EDS (6.3 h) or sleep difficulty (6.6 h). The effect of chronic emotional stress was stronger than that of the BMI on the reported sleep duration, with a synergistic joint effect. The presence of a sleep disturbance was associated with a reduction of reported sleep by 18 min for men and 42 min in women, whereas a 10 kg m(-2) increase of BMI was associated with a 16 and 6 min decrease of sleep in men and women, respectively. Interestingly, there was no association between objective sleep duration and BMI. CONCLUSION Self-reported short sleep duration in obese individuals may be a surrogate marker of emotional stress and subjective sleep disturbances, whose detection and management should be the focus of our preventive and therapeutic strategies for obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the knowledge that healthy pregnant women have of appropriate actions to take in response to hypothetical symptoms of preterm labor. DESIGN This was a descriptive, correlational study using a convenience sample. SETTING Subjects were recruited from the private practices of obstetricians and nurse-midwives. PARTICIPANTS Three hundred twenty pregnant women who were between 20 and 32 weeks gestation were asked to complete a 17-item demographic information sheet and an 18-item Health Pregnancy Questionnaire while waiting for prenatal visits. Questionnaires from 269 women were appropriate for analysis. RESULTS Most respondents could select appropriate action responses to items that identified obvious symptoms of being in preterm labor. In response to three questions that posed hypothetical preterm labor symptoms that were more subtle or were similar to normally occurring discomforts of pregnancy, between 26% and 35% of the women selected a choice that would have delayed entry into care. With a 95% confidence interval, significant positive relationships were found between selecting best responses and having experienced a previous preterm labor and maternal age. CONCLUSION This study supports the need for all pregnant women to receive information on identification of preterm labor symptoms and appropriate actions to take with regard to these symptoms.

Abstract
Fifty consecutive patients undergoing cesarean section were evaluated prospectively. A data collection form was developed and 113 variables relating to demographic features, antepartum care, intrapartum events and postpartum course were evaluated. All of the patients were seen and evaluated within 24 hours of delivery and all forms were completed when the patients were discharged from the hospital. Twenty-five of the 50 patients had postpartum febrile morbidity develop. There were 14 instances of endometritis; five, wound infections; two, urinary tract infections; two, upper respiratory tract infections; three pulmonary infections; one patient with phlebitis, and two with febrile morbidity and no apparent source. Factors significantly associated with an increased risk of developing febrile morbidity included antepartum infections, resident staff as primary surgeon, extension of the uterine incision and positive endometrial culture at the time of the operation. Patients undergoing elective repeat cesarean section had less febrile morbidity than others (p less than 0.025). Statistically significant differences between the two groups were not found for the variables obesity, anemia, rupture of membranes, number of pelvic examinations, fetal monitoring, fetal tachycardia, general anesthesia and skin preparation. Operative blood loss was greater in the patients having febrile morbidity develop, but this difference was not statistically significant.

Abstract
Because of the involvement of prostaglandins in the labor mechanism, it was hypothesized that elevated prostaglandin levels would presage preterm deliveries. A comparison of plasma 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM) levels was made between pregnant patients who eventually delivered at term (N = 22) and those who delivered preterm (N = 17). Maternal blood was collected from each patient at approximately 1-week intervals between 16 and 40 weeks' gestation and during labor. Mixed cord blood was also obtained at delivery. PGFM was measured in plasma by radioimmunoassay. Plasma PGFM concentrations did not vary throughout pregnancy. PGFM concentrations did increase during labor, and the highest levels were found in cord blood at delivery. Mean PGFM levels during labor and in cord blood were not significantly different between the preterm and term groups. In 1 preterm delivery patient the PGFM concentration during labor was higher than that of all other patients, including those who delivered at term. Excluding this patient, preterm labor PGFM concentrations were significantly lower (P less than .05) than those at term. In general, the study provides evidence that most cases of preterm labor are not characterized by elevated prostaglandin levels.

Abstract
Studies have been undertaken regarding the efficacy and modus operandi of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17 alpha-OHP-C) in preventing premature labor in high-risk patients. In a total of 70 patients, the treated patient population had a prematurity rate (12.8%) and a perinatal mortality rate (5%) which were significantly lower than those of the total placebo or untreated patient group (40.9 and 25%, respectively). In addition, sequential plasma steroid values were determined in 21 patients, 10 of whom delivered prematurely. The results indicate that low plasma progesterone (P) and 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (17 alpha-OHP) levels precede the onset of preterm labor by weeks. Successful treatment with 17 alpha-OHP-C was characterized by elevated P levels. Plasma estradiol (E2) and cortisol (C) values did not vary with time of delivery or treatment. These findings support the progesterone block theory as an important mechanism affecting preterm delivery in this high-risk population.
