Abstract
Introduction and purpose
Arterial Hypertension (AHT) is a major cause of premature death worldwide. We have developed Totum-854 (T-854), a polyphenol-rich botanical composition to reduce the risk of developing AHT. We assessed the acute and chronic effects on blood pressure in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR).
Method
Acute protocol: 12-week-old SHR rats received randomly in a cross-over design, a dose of vehicle (VEH, 1% Tween 20), Captopril (50mg/kg) and T-854 (1250mg/kg) per os with at least 48h-wash-out interval between two gavages. Arterial pressure was recorded during 24h post-gavage, thanks to a radio-telemetry device (HD-S10, DSI) directly into the abdominal aorta. Baseline arterial pressure was measured before oral gavage during 90 min.
Chronic study
18-week-old SHR rats received vehicle (VEH, 1% Tween 20) or T-854 (1000mg/kg) per os once a day for 8 weeks. Arterial pressure was recorded before the oral gavage for 90 min once a week with a radio-telemetry device (HD-S10, DSI). Delta (Δ) SBP and ΔDBP were calculated by subtracting baseline blood pressure (before the start of oral gavage) to measured blood pressure every week. At the end of supplementation, rats were euthanized, and aorta and heart were sampled. Aorta was embedded in paraffin and Masson's trichrome staining was performed in slides obtained by a microtome. Media thickness was measured with ImageJ. For the heart, mRNA was extracted using Trizol and cardiac hypertrophy/fibrosis gene expression was evaluated by RT-qPCR.
Results
Acute supplementation with T-854 exhibited an intermediate profile between VEH and Captopril response for change in SBP and DBP curves. SBP and DBP were reduced in comparison to VEH with 24h-AUC decreased by 93.6±67.8 mmHg h and 70.8±54.6 mmHg h for captopril and T-854, respectively.
When T-854 was administered chronically during 8 weeks, ΔSBP and ΔDBP evolution were significantly different in comparison to VEH group (p<0.05). These curves were maintained under vehicle curves from the 2nd week of supplementation and until the end of the study. After 8 weeks of T-854 supplementation, tissue analysis showed a decrease of 10% on the aorta media thickness in T-854 supplemented rats (p<0.05). Cardiac MMP-2 gene expression was also lower in T-854 group compared to VEH (p=0.059).
Conclusion
T-854 24h-post-gavage acute effect on blood pressure in hypertensive SHR rats suggests a rapid effect, with a decrease in blood pressure few hours after oral administration. Moreover, chronic T-854 supplementation prevents AHT development in SHR. In conclusion, T-854 appears as an efficient strategy to prevent HTA suggesting also a protective role of T-854 on vascular and heart structure and function.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
It is well known that hypercholesterolemia is an important modifiable risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Lowering blood cholesterol level reduces the incidence of atherosclerotic disease. Totum-070 (T070) is a clinical stage polyphenol-rich active substance composed by the association of 5 plant extracts.
Purpose
We assessed the hypothesis that administration of T070 prevents hypercholesterolemia in western diet fed mice and explored the potential mechanisms involved in vitro in human enterocytes.
Methods
C57BL/6 mice were fed either a normal diet (ND) or western diet (WD) for 6 weeks and received either vehicle or T070 (1mg/kg or 3mg/kg) daily by gavage (n=14 mice per group). Food intake, body weight and plasma lipid were monitored along study duration. Liver and feces lipid content were quantified at the end of the study. For in vitro studies, human Caco2 cells were differentiated in transwells for 21 days. To perform cholesterol uptake assay, [1,2-3H(N)]-cholesterol was incubated in apical medium for 1 hour in presence or not of T070 prior to quantification of radioactivity in the cells.
Results
In mice, supplementation with T070 had no effect on food intake during the study. At the end of the in vivo study, body weight in WD-fed mice was increased to 28.3±0.8 g compared to the ND group (24.5±0.4 g, p<0.001). Interestingly, a significant (p<0.01) 29% reduction in body weight gain was observed in the T070 3mg/kg group compared to the WD group at the end of the study. Compared to WD group, total-cholesterol in mice supplemented by T070 was reduced in a dose dependent manner (298±8 mg/dl WD vs 276±9 mg/dl T070 1mg/kg, p=0.19, and 265±8 mg/dl T070 3mg/kg, p<0.05). Furthermore, hepatic steatosis induced by the WD was reduced by 73% (p<0.001) in the T070 3mg/kg group. Hepatic and intestinal gene expression were drastically altered by WD feeding compared to ND, while supplementation with T070 tended to restore normal expression levels for many genes implicated in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. A significant increase in fecal cholesterol excretion was observed in mice supplemented with T070 3 mg/g compared to the mice fed with WD alone (442.3±151.7 nmol/day WD + T070 3mg/g vs 75.4±5.9 nmol/day WD, p<0.05). Studies in human enterocytes demonstrated that 1 g/l T070 reduced cholesterol uptake by 35% (p<0.001), suggesting that T070 inhibits intestinal cholesterol absorption.
Conclusion
Our results show the beneficial effect of supplementation with Totum-070 to prevent induction of hypercholesterolemia in a nutritional mouse model. Investigation of mechanisms of action in enterocytes demonstrate the role of Totum-070 to inhibit intestinal cholesterol absorption. These results highlight the interest of using Totum-070 for the management of hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
Mastication is one of the most important orofacial functions. The neurobiological mechanisms of masticatory control have been investigated in animal models, but less so in humans. This project used functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) to assess the positive temporal correlations among activated brain areas during a gum-chewing task. Twenty-nine healthy young-adults underwent an fcMRI scanning protocol while they chewed gum. Seed-based fcMRI analyses were performed with the motor cortex and cerebellum as regions of interest. Both left and right motor cortices were reciprocally functionally connected and functionally connected with the post-central gyrus, cerebellum, cingulate cortex, and precuneus. The cerebellar seeds showed functional connections with the contralateral cerebellar hemispheres, bilateral sensorimotor cortices, left superior temporal gyrus, and left cingulate cortex. These results are the first to identify functional central networks engaged during mastication.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Our previous research showed evidence of compromised cognitive function prior to adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, with fatigue as a contributory factor. Fatigue is a common symptom reported by women treated for breast cancer, yet its association with neurocognitive function has not been systematically examined. In this prospective study, we examined possible alterations in neurocognitive responses, namely, working memory, from pre- to post- adjuvant treatment during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and further investigated whether early fatigue might be linked to cognitive alterations over time.
Methods: Women treated with either adjuvant chemotherapy (anthracyline-based combination regimen, n=29) or radiotherapy (n = 37) for localized breast cancer (Stages 0-IIIa) and age-matched healthy controls (n = 32) were enrolled. Participants performed a verbal working memory task (VWMT) with varying levels of demand for cognitive control during fMRI scanning and provided self-reports of fatigue (FACT-F) at two time points coincident with pre- and one-month post chemotherapy assessments. Imaging data were analyzed with general linear models using SPM5; comparative statistics were used to determine group differences, and correlational analyses addressed relationships of fatigue and neurocognitive measures.
Findings: The chemotherapy group reported significantly greater severity of fatigue (p < .05) and performed less accurately on the VWMT both pre- and one-month post-treatment than the other groups. Greater fatigue was correlated with poorer performance on the VWMT at both time points across groups, with stronger correlation post-treatment (r = −.22, p = .03). A 2 time-point (pre- vs. post-treatment) × 2 group (chemotherapy vs. controls) × 2 demand-level contrasts (high minus low vs. medium minus low) analytic model showed a significant group × time interaction (p < .05), mainly due to lower pre-treatment activation in an area of the prefrontal cortex supporting working memory, the anatomical left inferior frontal gyrus (LiFG), at higher task demand in the chemotherapy group. The radiotherapy group scored between the other two groups with intermediate activation of those contrasts. Of interest, lower pre-treatment activation in the LiFG in the high-low demand contrast predicted severity of fatigue across all participants at the post-treatment assessment (r = −.27, p < .01), linking early compromise in neurocognitive performance with greater fatigue over time.
Discussion: Neurocognitive alterations during a working memory task and greater fatigue were evident before any adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Notably, functional alterations in working memory processes were evident with fMRI before adjuvant chemotherapy and predicted severity of post-treatment fatigue. Importantly, across all participants, greater fatigue over time was correlated with reduced cognitive performance. Taken together, these findings indicate that pre-treatment neurocognitive compromise and fatigue are key contributors to the cognitive impact often attributed solely to chemotherapy. Early therapeutic interventions targeting fatigue may improve cognitive function and reduce the distress of “chemo brain” throughout the course of adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
This study aimed at determining whether glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) solutions modify the NADH/NAD(+) ratio during postischemic reperfusion and whether their cardioprotective effect can be attributed to this change in part through reduction of the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The hearts of 72 rats were perfused with a buffer containing glucose (5.5 mM) and hexanoate (0.5 mM). They were maintained in normoxia for 30 min and then subjected to low-flow ischemia (0.5% of the preischemic coronary flow for 20 min) followed by reperfusion (45 min). From the beginning of ischemia, the perfusate was subjected to various changes: enrichment with GIK solution, enrichment with lactate (2 mM), enrichment with pyruvate (2 mM), enrichment with pyruvate (2 mM) plus ethanol (2 mM), or no change for the control group. Left ventricular developed pressure, heart rate, coronary flow, and oxygen consumption were monitored throughout. The lactate/pyruvate ratio of the coronary effluent, known to reflect the cytosolic NADH/NAD(+) ratio and the fructose-6-phosphate/dihydroxyacetone-phosphate (F6P/DHAP) ratio of the reperfused myocardium, were evaluated. Mitochondrial ROS production was also estimated. The GIK solution improved the recovery of mechanical function during reperfusion. This was associated with an enhanced cytosolic NADH/NAD(+) ratio and reduced mitochondrial ROS production. The cardioprotection was also observed when the hearts were perfused with fluids known to increase the cytosolic NADH/NAD(+) ratio (lactate, pyruvate plus ethanol) compared with the other fluids (control and pyruvate groups). The hearts with a high mechanical recovery also displayed a low F6P/DHAP ratio, suggesting that an accelerated glycolysis rate may be responsible for increased cytosolic NADH production. In conclusion, the cardioprotection induced by GIK solutions could occur through an increase in the cytosolic NADH/NAD(+) ratio, leading to a decrease in mitochondrial ROS production.

Abstract
The Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis (CAMERA, http://camera.calit2.net/) is a database and associated computational infrastructure that provides a single system for depositing, locating, analyzing, visualizing and sharing data about microbial biology through an advanced web-based analysis portal. CAMERA collects and links metadata relevant to environmental metagenome data sets with annotation in a semantically-aware environment allowing users to write expressive semantic queries against the database. To meet the needs of the research community, users are able to query metadata categories such as habitat, sample type, time, location and other environmental physicochemical parameters. CAMERA is compliant with the standards promulgated by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC), and sustains a role within the GSC in extending standards for content and format of the metagenomic data and metadata and its submission to the CAMERA repository. To ensure wide, ready access to data and annotation, CAMERA also provides data submission tools to allow researchers to share and forward data to other metagenomics sites and community data archives such as GenBank. It has multiple interfaces for easy submission of large or complex data sets, and supports pre-registration of samples for sequencing. CAMERA integrates a growing list of tools and viewers for querying, analyzing, annotating and comparing metagenome and genome data.

Abstract
The OptIPuter microscopy demonstrator project has been designed to enable concurrent and remote usage of world-class electron microscopes located in Oxford and San Diego. The project has constructed a network consisting of microscopes and computational and data resources that are all connected by a dedicated network infrastructure using the UK Lightpath and US Starlight systems. Key science drivers include examples from both materials and biological science. The resulting system is now a permanent link between the Oxford and San Diego microscopy centres. This will form the basis of further projects between the sites and expansion of the types of systems that can be remotely controlled, including optical, as well as electron, microscopy. Other improvements will include the updating of the Microsoft cluster software to the high performance computing (HPC) server 2008, which includes the HPC basic profile implementation that will enable the development of interoperable clients.

Abstract
The bolus intravenous administration of a novel medium-chain triglyceride: fish oil emulsion (MCT:FO) to normal subjects was recently found to increase within 60 min the amount of long-chain polyunsaturated omega3 fatty acids ( omega3) in platelet and leukocyte phospholipids and, hence, was proposed as a tool to prevent such pathological events as cardiac arrhythmia in selected patients who have to undergo urgent anesthesia and/or surgery. This study investigates whether other cells located outside the vascular bed may also benefit from this procedure for replenishing phospholipids with omega3. For such a purpose, the MCT:FO emulsion (1.0 ml) was injected into normal or omega3-depleted rats examined, one hour later, for the content and fatty acid pattern of liver triglycerides and phospholipids. Control experiments included the administration of saline or a medium-chain triglyceride:olive oil emulsion. The results reveal that the bolus intravenous injection of MCT:FO to the omega3-depleted rats resulted in the enrichment of liver phospholipids in omega3 and a marked reduction in hepatic steatosis. In conclusion, it is proposed that such a procedure may indeed allow a rapid supply of omega3 not only to circulating and vascular endothelial cells but also to extravascular cells, with a resulting correction of the biochemical and biophysical defects linked to a deficiency in these fatty acids.

Abstract
In the perspective of giving a better understanding of the cardioprotective effects attributable to the tandem low caloric intake and training, Lou/C rats would be an interesting model since these animals exhibit spontaneously these two characteristics for months, without any dietary manipulations or stressor stimuli. No information was so far available on their cardiac function. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was (i) to document cardiac function before and after ischemia in this strain, and (ii) to investigate whether spontaneous wheel-running activity can improve the ability of cardiac muscle to recover its function after an ischemic period. Cardiac mechanical and metabolic functions were measured in isolated Langendorff hearts from Wistar sedentary, Lou/C sedentary, and Lou/C wheel-running male rats submitted to a 20-min low-flow ischemia and 20-min reperfusion. In Lou/C sedentary rats, rate-pressure product, an index of cardiac work, was decreased before ischemia as compared to Wistar sedentary animals (- 24 %, p < 0.05). After ischemia, cardiac mechanical function recovery did not significantly differ between these two groups. Nevertheless, flux of non-oxidative glycolysis was lower before and after ischemia in Lou/C sedentary animals than in Wistar sedentary rats. In Lou/C rats, during normoxic perfusion, wheel-running activity significantly decreased heart rate (- 15 %), oxygen consumption (- 2.2 %) and cardiac efficiency (- 37 %), whereas coronary flow and flux of non-oxidative glycolysis were significantly increased (+ 15 % and + 263 %, respectively). After ischemia, recovery of cardiac mechanical function and cardiac efficiency were improved in Lou/C wheel-running rats versus Lou/C sedentary animals (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the impact of ischemia-reperfusion is similar between Lou/C- and Wistar sedentary rats. Spontaneous wheel-running activity decreases cardiac efficiency before ischemia and confers a protection against ischemia- and reperfusion-induced injury in isolated Lou/C rat hearts.

Abstract
The present study aims mainly at exploring the effects of a severe depletion in polyunsaturated long-chain omega3 fatty acids upon the fate of circulating lipids. The plasma concentration and fatty acid pattern of triglycerides, diglycerides, free fatty acids, and phospholipids were measured in omega3-depleted and control rats injected intravenously one hour before sacrifice with either saline, a control medium-chain triglyceride:olive oil emulsion or a medium-chain triglyceride:fish oil emulsion recently found to rapidly increase the phospholipid content of C20:5omega3 and C22:6omega3 in different cell types. The estimated fractional removal rate of the injected triglycerides and the clearance of free fatty acids from circulation were both higher in omega3-depleted rats than in control animals. The injection of the lipid emulsions apparently inhibited intracellular lipolysis, this being least pronounced in omega3-depleted rats. The increased clearance of circulating triglycerides and unesterified fatty acids in omega3-depleted rats may favor the cellular accumulation of lipids. In turn, such an accumulation and the lesser regulatory inhibition of tissular lipolysis may match the increased clearance of circulating unesterified fatty acids and, hence, account for the lack of any significant difference in plasma unesterified fatty acid concentration between these and control animals.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the cortical circuit involved in encoding and controlling kinesthetically guided reaching movements. We used (15)O-butanol positron emission tomography in ten blindfolded able-bodied volunteers in a factorial experiment in which arm (left/right) used to encode target location and to reach back to the remembered location and hemispace of target location (left/right side of midsagittal plane) varied systematically. During encoding of a target the experimenter guided the hand to touch the index fingertip to an external target and then returned the hand to the start location. After a short delay the subject voluntarily moved the same hand back to the remembered target location. SPM99 analysis of the PET data contrasting left versus right hand reaching showed increased (P < 0.05, corrected) neural activity in the sensorimotor cortex, premotor cortex and posterior parietal lobule (PPL) contralateral to the moving hand. Additional neural activation was observed in prefrontal cortex and visual association areas of occipital and parietal lobes contralateral and ipsilateral to the reaching hand. There was no statistically significant effect of target location in left versus right hemispace nor was there an interaction of hand and hemispace effects. Structural equation modeling showed that parietal lobe visual association areas contributed to kinesthetic processing by both hands but occipital lobe visual areas contributed only during dominant hand kinesthetic processing. This visual processing may also involve visualization of kinesthetically guided target location and use of the same network employed to guide reaches to visual targets when reaching to kinesthetic targets. The present work clearly demonstrates a network for kinesthetic processing that includes higher visual processing areas in the PPL for both upper limbs and processing in occipital lobe visual areas for the dominant limb.

Abstract
A novel i.v. lipid preparation (MCT:FO) containing 80% medium chain-triacylglycerols and 20% fish oil was recently developed to rapidly replenish cell membrane phospholipids with omega 3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). In regard of this property, we investigated the effect of a single i.v. administration of MCT:FO on the recovery of cardiac function after ischemia in control and n-3-depleted rats. Results were compared with those obtained either with a control preparation, where FO was replaced by triolein (MCT:OO), or with saline. Saline (1 ml) or lipid preparation (also 1 ml) was injected as a bolus via the left saphenous vein. After 60 min the heart was removed and perfused for 20 min in normoxic conditions according to Langendorff. Thereafter, the heart was subjected to a 20 min zero-flow normothermic ischemia, followed by 40 min reperfusion. Cardiac mechanical and metabolic functions were monitored. In control rats, the previous administration of a lipid preparation (MCT:FO or MCT:OO) versus saline improved cardiac function during aerobic reperfusion post-ischemia. N-3-depleted rats showed decreased basal cardiac function and impaired recovery following ischemia. However, the bolus injection of MCT:FO opposed the deleterious effect of long-term n-3-deficiency and, in this respect, was superior to MCT:OO over the first 20 min of reperfusion. This novel approach to rapidly correct n-3 PUFA-deficiency might be clinically relevant and offer interesting perspectives in the management of acute ischemic accidents.

Abstract
Although the causal relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and hypertension is not fully resolved, the importance of IR in cardiovascular dysfunction is recognized. As IR may follow excess sucrose or fructose diet, the aim of this study was to test whether dietary starch substitution with sucrose results in myocardial dysfunction in energy substrate utilization and contractility during normoxic and post-ischemic conditions. Forty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to three diets, differing only in their starch to sucrose (S) ratio (13, 2 and 0 for the Low S, Middle S and High S groups, respectively), for 3 weeks. Developed pressure and rate x pressure product (RPP) were determined in Langendorff mode-perfused hearts. After 30 min stabilization, hearts were subjected to 25 min of total normothermic global ischemia, followed by 45-min reperfusion. Oxygen consumption, beta-oxidation rate (using 1-13C hexanoate and Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometry of CO2 produced in the coronary effluent) and flux of non-oxidative glycolysis were also evaluated. Although fasting plasma glucose levels were not affected by increased dietary sucrose, high sucrose intake resulted in increased plasma insulin levels, without significant rise in plasma triglyceride and free fatty acid concentrations. Sucrose-rich diet reduced pre-ischemic baseline measures of heart rate, RPP and non-oxidative glycolysis. During reperfusion, post-ischemic recovery of RPP was impaired in the Middle S and High S groups, as compared to Low S, mainly due to delayed recovery of developed pressure, which by 45 min of reperfusion eventually resumed levels matching Low S. At the start of reperfusion, delayed post-ischemic recovery of contractile function was accompanied by: (i) reduced lactate production; (ii) decreased lactate to pyruvate ratio; (iii) increased beta-oxidation; and (iv) depressed metabolic efficiency. In conclusion, sucrose rich-diet increased plasma insulin levels, in intact rat, and increased cardiac beta-oxidation and coronary flow-rate, but reduced glycolytic flux and contractility during normoxic baseline function of isolated perfused hearts. Sucrose rich-diet impaired early post-ischemic recovery of isolated heart cardiac mechanical function and further augmented cardiac beta-oxidation but reduced glycolytic and lactate flux.

Abstract
The thorough characterization of transgenic mouse models of human central nervous system diseases is a necessary step in realizing the full benefit of using animal models to investigate disease processes and potential therapeutics. Because of the labor- and resource-intensive nature of high-resolution imaging, detailed investigation of possible structural or biochemical alterations in brain sections has typically focused on specific regions of interest as determined by the researcher a priori. For example, Parkinson's disease researchers often focus imaging on regions of the brain expected to exhibit pathology such as the substantia nigra and striatum. Because of limitations in acquiring and storing high-resolution imaging data, additional data contained in the specimen is not usually acquired or disseminated/reported to the research community. Here we present a method of imaging large regions of brain at close to the resolution limit of light microscopy using a mosaic imaging technique in conjunction with multiphoton microscopy. These maps are being used to characterize several genetically modified animal models of neurological disease by filling the information "gap" among techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and electron microscopic analysis.

Abstract
We studied the effect of exogenous adenosine in isolated perfused normoxic rat hearts on glycolytic flux through pyruvate kinase (PK). We compared its effect with that of myxothiazol, an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP production. Moreover, we tested whether an increase of membrane ionic flux with monensin is linked to a stimulation of glycolytic flux through PK. After a 20-min stabilization period adenosine, myxothiazol or monensin were administrated to the perfusate continuously at various concentrations during 10 min. The contraction was monitored and the lactate production in coronary effluents evaluated. The amount of adenine nucleotides and phosphoenolpyruvate was measured in the frozen hearts. Myxothiazol induced a decrease of the left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP : -40%) together with a stimulation of glycolytic flux secondary to PK activation. In contrast, adenosine primarily reduced heart rate (HR: -30%) with only marginal effects on LVDP. This was associated with an inhibition of glycolysis at the level of PK. The Na+ ionophore monensin affected HR (+14%) and LVDP (+25%). This effect was associated with a stimulation of glycolysis secondary to the stimulation of PK. These results provide new information of action of adenosine in the heart and support the concept of a direct coupling between glycolysis and process regulating sarcolemmal ionic fluxes.

Abstract
A new high-resolution recording device for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is urgently needed. Neither film nor CCD cameras are systems that allow for efficient 3-D high-resolution particle reconstruction. We tested an active pixel sensor (APS) array as a replacement device at 200, 300, and 400 keV using a JEOL JEM-2000 FX II and a JEM-4000 EX electron microscope. For this experiment, we used an APS prototype with an area of 64 x 64 pixels of 20 microm x 20 microm pixel pitch. Single-electron events were measured by using very low beam intensity. The histogram of the incident electron energy deposited in the sensor shows a Landau distribution at low energies, as well as unexpected events at higher absorbed energies. After careful study, we concluded that backscattering in the silicon substrate and re-entering the sensitive epitaxial layer a second time with much lower speed caused the unexpected events. Exhaustive simulation experiments confirmed the existence of these back-scattered electrons. For the APS to be usable, the back-scattered electron events must be eliminated, perhaps by thinning the substrate to less than 30 microm. By using experimental data taken with an APS chip with a standard silicon substrate (300 microm) and adjusting the results to take into account the effect of a thinned silicon substrate (30 microm), we found an estimate of the signal-to-noise ratio for a back-thinned detector in the energy range of 200-400 keV was about 10:1 and an estimate for the spatial resolution was about 10 microm.

Abstract
A multiport-readout, frame-transfer charge-coupled device (CCD) digital imaging system has been successfully developed and tested for intermediate-high-voltage electron microscopy (IVEM) applications up to 400 keV. The system employs a back-thinned CCD with 2560 x 1960 pixels and a pixel size of 24 microm x 24 microm. In the current implementation, four of the eight on-chip readout ports are used in parallel each operating at a pixel rate of 1- or 2-MHz so that the entire CCD array can be read out in as short as 0.6 s. The frame-transfer readout functions as an electronic shutter which permits the rapid transfer of charges in the active pixels to four masked buffers where the charges are readout and digitized while the active area of the CCD is integrating the next frame. With a thin film-based phosphor screen and a high-performance lens relay, the system has a conversion factor of 2.1 digital units per incident electron at 400 keV, and a modulation transfer function value of 14% at the Nyquist frequency.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D), multi-shot functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data acquisitions are desirable because of higher resolution and reduced susceptibility artifacts, due to shorter readouts and thinner slices. However, 3D multi-shot techniques are more susceptible to physiological noise, which can increase inter-image variance and lead to inaccurate assessment of activation. This work presents a 3D spiral fMRI data acquisition method at 3 T in which the acquisition of views was ordered to match the phase of either the respiratory or the cardiac cycle. For the acquisition timing parameters used in this work, cardiac ordering was found to reduce inter-image variance by 19%. Cardiac ordered data acquisitions showed the same reduction in variance as sequentially ordered data with cardiac contributions estimated and removed using an externally acquired reference prior to reconstruction. Respiratory ordering showed no reduction in fluctuation noise due to poor alignment of views to the respiratory phase.

Abstract
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a heterogeneous inherited disorder causing syncope and sudden death from ventricular arrhythmias. A first locus for this disorder was mapped to chromosome 11p15.5. However, locus heterogeneity has been demonstrated in several families, and two other loci have recently been located on chromosomes 7q35-36 and 3p21-24. We used linkage analysis to map the locus in a 65-member family in which LQTS was associated with more marked sinus bradycardia than usual, leading to sinus node dysfunction. Linkage to chromosome 11p15.5, 7q35-36, or 3p21-24 was excluded. Positive linkage was obtained for markers located on chromosome 4q25-27. A maximal LOD score of 7.05 was found for marker D4S402. The identification of a fourth locus for LQTS confirms its genetic heterogeneity. Locus 4q25-27 is associated with a peculiar phenotype within the LQTS entity.

Abstract
A case of fatal Epstein-Barr virus infection in a previously healthy girl who was first found to have severe infectious mononucleosis with spontaneous recovery is reported. Because an abnormal immune response to the virus persisted, the disease relapsed, manifesting in cutaneous and pulmonary lesions associated with hemophagocytic syndrome responsible for death. Pathologic findings were characterized by polymorphous atypical lymphoid infiltrate, prominent necrosis, and histiocytic hyperplasia. Lymphoid cells displayed CD8 phenotype and clonal T-cell receptor gene rearrangement. Viral genome was detected in lesions by Southern blot and located in nuclei of lymphoid cells by in situ hybridization. Pathologic findings suggested fatal infectious mononucleosis; however, phenotype and genotype favored a malignant diagnosis. Clonality was demonstrated to have arisen during primary infection. Virologic examination indicated that Epstein-Barr virus was a causative agent. Such a process belongs to the recently recognized spectrum of Epstein-Barr virus-related T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders that might overlap fatal infectious mononucleosis in patients who are especially vulnerable to the virus.
