Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the predictive and prognostic value of plasma zonulin for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women at 24-28 weeks of gestation. METHODS This retrospective study was carried out with pregnant women with GDM (n=98) and normal glucose tolerance (control group) (n=132). GDM was diagnosed according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria with a one-step 75-g OGTT at 24-28 gestational weeks. Their serum zonulin levels measured during one-step 75-g OGTT and perinatal outcomes were compared, and the cut-off value of plasma zonulin for the prediction of GDM was calculated with receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS Plasma zonulin level was significantly higher in women with GDM compared to controls (28.8±24.9 and 7.3±11.3 ng/mL, respectively). According to logistic regression analysis, plasma zonulin levels and GDM were statistically significant. The plasma zonulin cut-off value was>45.2 ng/mL. The rate of cesarean section, the rate of meconium in the amniotic fluid, and the need for admission to the neonatal intensive care unit significantly differed between women with GDM and controls. CONCLUSION In pregnant women with GDM, plasma zonulin increases, and with the cut-off level of>45.2 ng/mL, it can predict GDM with values of sensitivity and specificity levels significantly higher in pregnant women with GDM, suggesting that it can be used as a tool for its screening and early diagnosis.

Abstract
Neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), a neuronal lesion found in Alzheimer's disease (AD), are composed of fibrillary aggregates of modified forms of tau proteins. The propagation of NFT follows neuroanatomical pathways suggesting that synaptically connected neurons could transmit tau pathology by the recruitment of normal tau in a prion-like manner. Moreover, the intracerebral injection of pathological tau from AD brains induces the seeding of normal tau in mouse brain. Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease has been transmitted after ocular transplants of cornea or sclera and the scrapie agent can spread across the retino-tectal pathway after intraocular injection of scrapie mouse brain homogenates. In AD, a tau pathology has been detected in the retina. To investigate the potential risk of tau pathology transmission during eye surgery using AD tissue material, we have analysed the development of tau pathology in the visual pathway of mice models expressing murine tau, wild-type or mutant human tau after intraocular injection of pathological tau proteins from AD brains. Although these pathological tau proteins were internalized in retinal ganglion cells, they did not induce aggregation of endogenous tau nor propagation of a tau pathology in the retino-tectal pathway after a 6-month incubation period. These results suggest that retinal ganglion cells exhibit a resistance to develop a tau pathology, and that eye surgery is not a major iatrogenic risk of transmission of tau pathology, contrary to what has been observed for transmission of infectious prions in prion diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-motor symptoms are well established phenotypic components of adult-onset idiopathic, isolated, focal cervical dystonia (AOIFCD). However, improved understanding of their clinical heterogeneity is needed to better target therapeutic intervention. Here, we examine non-motor phenotypic features to identify possible AOIFCD subgroups. METHODS Participants diagnosed with AOIFCD were recruited via specialist neurology clinics (dystonia wales: n = 114, dystonia coalition: n = 183). Non-motor assessment included psychiatric symptoms, pain, sleep disturbance, and quality of life, assessed using self-completed questionnaires or face-to-face assessment. Both cohorts were analyzed independently using Cluster, and Bayesian multiple mixed model phenotype analyses to investigate the relationship between non-motor symptoms and determine evidence of phenotypic subgroups. RESULTS Independent cluster analysis of the two cohorts suggests two predominant phenotypic subgroups, one consisting of approximately a third of participants in both cohorts, experiencing increased levels of depression, anxiety, sleep impairment, and pain catastrophizing, as well as, decreased quality of life. The Bayesian approach reinforced this with the primary axis, which explained the majority of the variance, in each cohort being associated with psychiatric symptomology, and also sleep impairment and pain catastrophizing in the Dystonia Wales cohort. CONCLUSIONS Non-motor symptoms accompanying AOIFCD parse into two predominant phenotypic sub-groups, with differences in psychiatric symptoms, pain catastrophizing, sleep quality, and quality of life. Improved understanding of these symptom groups will enable better targeted pathophysiological investigation and future therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess and compare demographic and clinical features of benign and malignant eyelid tumors from 2011 to 2018 in a tertiary medical center. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted retrospectively from medical records to compare demographic and clinical characteristics and recurrence of benign and malignant eyelid tumors after obtaining institutional review board approval. A total of 428 eyelid tumors with histopathologic diagnoses were studied. Premalignant lesions were not included. The lesions were classified into two groups according to malignancy: benign and malignant eyelid lesions. RESULTS Among the 428 histopathologically confirmed eyelid lesions, 373 (87.1%) were benign and 55 (12.9%) were malignant. The patients with malignant eyelid tumors had a higher mean age at diagnosis than patients with benign eyelid tumors (P=0.012). The most common benign eyelid tumors were squamous papilloma (17.7%), xanthelasma (11.5%), and epidermal cysts (11.3%). The most common malignant eyelid tumors were basal cell carcinomas (65.5%), squamous cell carcinomas (14.5%), and sebaceous gland carcinomas (7.3%). There was no relative gender predominance between patients with benign and malignant eyelid tumors (P=0.287). Benign eyelid tumors were most commonly located on the right side and upper eyelid (P=0.027 and 0.036, respectively). Malignant tumors had a higher rate of recurrence (P=0.002). CONCLUSION Differentiation between benign and malignant eyelid lesions is important, since it may lead to cosmetic complications and serious morbidity, particularly in patients with malignant eyelid tumors.

Abstract
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) has been widely confirmed in mammalian brains. A growing body of evidence points to the fact that AHN sustains hippocampal-dependent functions such as learning and memory. Impaired AHN has been reported in post-mortem human brain hippocampus of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is considered to contribute to defects in learning and memory. Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and amyloid plaques are the two key neuropathological hallmarks of AD. NFTs are composed of abnormal tau proteins accumulating in many brain areas during the progression of the disease, including in the hippocampus. The physiological role of tau and impact of tau pathology on AHN is still poorly understood. Modifications in AHN have also been reported in some tau transgenic and tau-deleted mouse models. We present here a brief review of advances in the relationship between development of tau pathology and AHN in AD and what insights have been gained from studies in tau mouse models.

Abstract
Nasal secretory fluid proteomes (NSPs) can provide valuable information about the physiopathology and prognosis of respiratory tract diseases. This study aimed to determine changes in NSP by using proteomics in calves treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or LPS + choline. Healthy calves (n = 10) were treated with LPS (2 μg/kg/iv). Five minutes after LPS injection, the calves received a second iv injection with saline (n = 5, LPS + saline group) or saline containing 1 mg/kg choline (n = 5, LPS + choline group). Nasal secretions were collected before (baseline), at 1 h and 24 h after the treatments and analysed using label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS). Differentially expressed proteins (>1.2-fold-change) were identified at the different time points in each group. A total of 52 proteins were up- and 46 were downregulated at 1 h and 24 h in the LPS + saline group. The upregulated proteins that showed the highest changes after LPS administration were small ubiquitin-related modifier-3 (SUMO3) and glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1), whereas the most downregulated protein was E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase (TRIM17). Treatment with choline reduced the number of upregulated (32 proteins) and downregulated proteins (33 proteins) in the NSPs induced by LPS. It can be concluded that the proteome composition of nasal fluid in calves changes after LPS, reflecting different pathways, such as the activation of the immunological response, oxidative stress, ubiquitin pathway, and SUMOylation. Choline treatment alters the NSP response to LPS.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to compare the effect of different solutions on the removal of orange-brown precipitate with or without ultrasonic activation. Materials and Methods One hundred and twenty extracted maxillary anterior teeth were instrumented. In experimental groups (n = 10), canals were flushed with 17% EDTA, 10% citric acid, 1% phytic acid, 96% alcohol and distilled water either using syringe irrigation or ultrasonic activation, after creating orange-brown precipitate. Teeth were sectioned longitudinally and subjected to stereomicroscopic analysis. The amount of precipitate was scored and the data were analyzed (P = 0.05). Results There were no differences detected among the tested solutions (P > 0.05). There was a significant difference between ultrasonically activated irrigation and syringe irrigation for EDTA and distilled water in coronal, middle portions (P < 0.05). Conclusions Ultrasonic activation significantly improved the precipitate removal capacity of EDTA and DW. Tested solutions were similarly effective regarding the removal of the precipitate.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation in the brain of intraneuronal aggregates of abnormally and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins and of extracellular deposits of amyloid-β surrounded by dystrophic neurites. Numerous experimental models have shown that tau pathology develops in the brain after intracerebral injection of brain homogenates or pathological tau [paired helical filaments (PHF)-tau)] from AD brains. Further investigations are however necessary to identify or exclude potential extracerebral routes of tau pathology transmission, e.g., through the intravascular route. In this study, we have analyzed the effect of intravenous injection of PHF-tau proteins from AD brains on the formation of tau and amyloid pathologies in the brain of wild-type (WT) mice and of 5XFAD mice (an amyloid model). We observed that 5XFAD mice with a disrupted blood-brain barrier showed increased plaque-associated astrogliosis, microgliosis, and increased deposits of Aβ40 and Aβ42 after intravenous injection of PHF-tau proteins. In addition, an increased phosphotau immunoreactivity was observed in plaque-associated dystrophic neurites. These results suggest that blood products contaminated by PHF-tau proteins could potentially induce an exacerbation of neuroinflammation and AD pathologies.

Abstract
Human tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases with accumulation of abnormally phosphorylated and aggregated tau proteins forming neurofibrillary tangles. We investigated the development of tau pathology in aged cat brains as a model of neurofibrillary tangle formation occurring spontaneously during aging. In 4 of 6 cats aged between 18 and 21 years, we found a somatodendritic accumulation of phosphorylated and aggregated tau in neurons and oligodendrocytes. Two of these 4 cats had no amyloid immunoreactivity. These tau inclusions were mainly composed of 4R tau isoforms and straight filaments and colocalized with the active form of the glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3). Cat brains with a tau pathology showed a significant cortical atrophy and neuronal loss. We demonstrate in this study the presence of a tau pathology in aged cat brains that develop independently of amyloid deposits. The colocalization of the active form of the GSK3 with tau inclusions as observed in human tauopathies suggests that this kinase could be responsible for the abnormal tau phosphorylation observed in aged cat brains, representing a mechanism of tau pathology development shared between a naturally occurring tauopathy in aged cats and human tauopathies.

Abstract
Neuropathological analysis in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and experimental evidence in transgenic models overexpressing frontotemporal dementia with Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) mutant tau suggest that amyloid-β pathology enhances the development of tau pathology. In this work, we analyzed this interaction independently of the overexpression of an FTDP-17 mutant tau, by analyzing tau pathology in wild-type (WT), 5xFAD, APP-/- and tau-/- mice after stereotaxic injection in the somatosensory cortex of short-length native human AD-PHF. Gallyas and phosphotau-positive tau inclusions developed in WT, 5xFAD, and APP-/- but not in tau-/- mice. Ultrastructural analysis demonstrated their intracellular localization and that they were composed of straight filaments. These seeded tau inclusions were composed only of endogenous murine tau exhibiting a tau antigenic profile similar to tau aggregates in AD. Insoluble tau level was higher and ipsilateral anteroposterior and contralateral cortical spreading of tau inclusions was more important in AD-PHF-injected 5xFAD mice than in WT mice. The formation of large plaque-associated dystrophic neurites positive for oligomeric and phosphotau was observed in 5xFAD mice injected with AD-PHF but never in control-injected or in non-injected 5xFAD mice. An increased level of the p25 activator of CDK5 kinase was found in AD-PHF-injected 5xFAD mice. These data demonstrate in vivo that the presence of Aβ pathology enhances experimentally induced tau seeding of endogenous, wild-type tau expressed at physiological level, and demonstrate the fibrillar nature of heterotopically seeded endogenous tau. These observations further support the hypothesis that Aβ enhances tau pathology development in AD through increased pathological tau spreading.

Abstract
Impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been reported as a feature of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies and might contribute to defects in learning and memory in these diseases. To assess the interference of tau pathology, a common key-lesion in these diseases, with adult hippocampal neurogenesis we analyzed adult neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in wild-type mice, Tg30 mice expressing a FTDP-17 mutant tau and the same Tg30 mice deficient for mouse tau (Tg30/tauKO). The volume of the granular layer, the number of granule cells and of neuronal precursors expressing the immature markers DCX or 3R-tau were analyzed in the dentate gyrus (DG) using unbiased stereological methods. The co-localization of neurogenic markers with the human mutant tau was also analyzed. We observed a significant reduction of the volume of the granular layer and of granule cells number in mutant tau Tg30 mice, but not in Tg30/tauKO mice. The number of neuronal precursors expressing the immature markers DCX or 3R-tau (the latter only expressed in wild-type and Tg30 mice) and the number of cells expressing the proliferation marker Ki-67 in the neurogenic subgranular zone of the DG was reduced in Tg30 but not in Tg30/tauKO mice. The density of phosphotau positive cells in the DG and the level of soluble human phosphotau was lower in Tg30/tauKO compared to Tg30 mice. The human mutant tau was expressed in mature granule cells in Tg30 and Tg30/tauKO mice but was not expressed in Sox2 positive neural stem cells and in DCX positive neuronal precursors/immature newborn neurons. These results demonstrate an impairment of adult hippocampal neurogenesis in a FTDP-17 mutant tau mice resulting from a decrease of proliferation affecting the pool of neuronal precursors. The mutant tau was not expressed in precursors cells in these mutant tau mice, suggesting that this neurogenic defect is cell non-autonomous. Interestingly, expression of endogenous wild-type tau in mature granule cells was necessary to observe this toxic effect of human mutant tau, since this impaired adult neurogenesis was rescued by lowering tau expression in Tg30/tauKO mice. These observations suggest that development of tau pathology in granule cells of the dentate gyrus is responsible for reduction of adult hippocampal neurogenesis also in human tauopathies by impairing proliferation of neuronal precursors, and that reduction of tau expression might be an approach to rescue this impairment.

Abstract
Objectives A prospective case-control study was carried out to assess the value of elastosonography in identifying endometrial pathology in women using Tamoxifen (TAM) for breast cancer. Materials and Methods In total, 66 women using TAM for breast cancer were enrolled for the study with 61 premenopausal and 61 postmenopausal healthy controls. Ultrasonographic findings (strain ratio, endometrial thickness) were evaluated in regard to the duration of TAM usage, histopathological findings, and menopausal status. Results Patients with endometrial cancer (EC) and cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) were found to have longer duration of TAM usage, increased endometrial thickness, and higher strain ratios compared with controls. A significant positive correlation was found between duration of TAM usage, endometrial thickness, and the strain ratios. Endometrial thickness and the strain ratios were significant predictors for groups under risk. Cutoff values for endometrial thickness, strain ratios, and duration of TAM usage were 12.55 mm, 2.46, and 18 months in premenopausal group and 7.75 mm, 7.70, and 32 months in postmenopausal group to predict risky population, respectively. Conclusion Endometrial tissue strain ratio was found to be significantly increased in cases with endometrial pathologies. Addition of elastosonography modality to B-mode may improve the diagnostic accuracy during the follow-up of women using TAM for breast cancer.

Abstract
In Alzheimer's disease, many indicators point to a central role for poor axonal transport, but the potential for stimulating axonal transport to alleviate the disease remains largely untested. Previously, we reported enhanced anterograde axonal transport of mitochondria in 8- to 11-month-old MAPTP301L knockin mice, a genetic model of frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism-17T. In this study, we further characterized the axonal transport of mitochondria in younger MAPTP301L mice crossed with the familial Alzheimer's disease model, TgCRND8, aiming to test whether boosting axonal transport in young TgCRND8 mice can alleviate axonal swelling. We successfully replicated the enhancement of anterograde axonal transport in young MAPTP301L/P301L knockin animals. Surprisingly, we found that in the presence of the amyloid precursor protein mutations, MAPTP301L/P3101L impaired anterograde axonal transport. The numbers of plaque-associated axonal swellings or amyloid plaques in TgCRND8 brains were unaltered. These findings suggest that amyloid-β promotes an action of mutant tau that impairs axonal transport. As amyloid-β levels increase with age even without amyloid precursor protein mutation, we suggest that this rise could contribute to age-related decline in frontotemporal dementia.

Abstract
Abeta deposits and tau pathology were investigated in 24 French patients that died from iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease after exposure to cadaver-derived human growth hormone (c-hGH) in the 1980s. Abeta deposits were found only in one case that had experienced one of the longest incubation periods. Three cases had also intracellular tau accumulation. The analysis of 24 batches of c-hGH, produced between 1974 and 1988, demonstrated for the first time the presence of Abeta and tau contaminants in c-hGH (in 17 and 6 batches, respectively). The incubation of prion disease was shorter in the French patients than the incubation times reported in two previously published British series. We interpreted the low incidence of Abeta in this French series as a consequence of the shorter incubation period observed in France, as compared to that observed in the United Kingdom. This concept suggested that a mean incubation period for the development of detectable Abeta deposits would be longer than 18 years after the first exposure. Moreover, we hypothesized that tau pathology might also be transmissible in humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the changes in the first and second trimester maternal serum biochemical markers used for prenatal screening are associated with euploid pregnancies complicated by intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). METHODS A total of 94 pregnant women were included in this retrospective comparative study. Thirty-seven women whose pregnancy was complicated with ICP constituted the study group whereas 57 of them constituted the control group. All hospital records were examined in terms of combined first trimester screening test and second trimester triple test parameters. Perinatal outcomes were also recorded. RESULTS No significant difference was observed between the two groups in term of age, BMI, and obstetric history (all p > 0.05). Mean serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum bile acid concentrations in the study group were significantly higher than in the controls (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of first and second trimester serum biochemical markers. Newborn gender, route of birth, and NICU admission rates were also similar in the two groups. Mean birth weight of the control group was statistically significantly higher than the ICP group (p = 0.012). CONCLUSION We report no significant differences between pregnancies complicated by ICP and healthy pregnancies in terms of first and second trimester maternal serum screening test results.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the presence of 2 neuropathological lesions: neurofibrillary tangles, composed of tau proteins which are highly phosphorylated and phosphorylated on uncommon sites, and amyloid plaques, containing the Aß peptides generated from the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Reduction of some APP proteolytic derivatives in Alzheimer's disease such as sAPPα fragment has been reported and sAPPα has been shown to affect tau phosphorylation. To investigate in vivo the effect of absence of APP protein and its fragments on tau phosphorylation and the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, we have generated mice deleted for APP gene and overexpressing a human mutant tau protein and developing neurofibrillary tangles (APPKOTg30 mice). These APPKOTg30 mice showed more severe motor and cognitive deficits, increased tau phosphorylation, increased load of neurofibrillary tangles, and increased p25/35 ratio in the brain, compared with Tg30 mice. These data suggest that APP and/or its proteolytic derivatives interfere with the formation of neurofibrillary tangles in a transgenic mouse model that will be useful for investigating the relationship between APP and tau.

Abstract
Aims Periapical lesions have been implicated in mandibular trigeminal sensory neuropathy. This study aimed to report on a case series of consecutive patients presenting with mandibular division trigeminal nerve injuries (TNI) caused by periapical lesions. Common presenting characteristics and possible strategies for management were also investigated.Materials and methods A retrospective study of 22 patients with TNI caused by periapical lesions. Data were extracted from patient records and analysed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. Factors associated with TNI resolution were assessed using Student's t-Tests and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), where P <0.05 indicated statistical significance.Results Twenty-one patients had inferior alveolar nerve injuries (IANI) and one had a lingual nerve injury (LNI). The most commonly affected teeth were the first molars (11 patients; 50%). TNI symptoms included numbness, pain and/or paraesthesia. IANI resolved completely among five patients within a mean time of 4.7 months (range 1.5-12 months). Patients who showed complete resolution had the affected teeth extracted or primary endodontic treatment with antibiotics.Conclusions Patients with TNI caused by periapical lesions can suffer significantly from combined numbness, pain and paraesthesia. Resolution of these injuries may be maximised upon early diagnosis and treatment of the periapical lesion by tooth extraction or primary endodontic treatment.

Abstract
AIMS Maintenance of fluid status within an optimal range and accurate assessment of dry weight (DW) is essential in patients on intermittent haemodialysis (HD) treatment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of fluid status measured by bioimpedance analysis (BIA) with N-terminal pro-B natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), blood pressure and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in hemodialysis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 45 hemodialysis patients were enrolled in the study. N-terminal pro-B natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was measured by immunoassay. Blood pressure (BP) was recorded. Echocardiographic examinations were performed in all patients. Multifrequency bioimpedance analysis was used to assess pre- and post-dialysis fluid status. Overhydration/ extracellular water (OH/ECW) ratio was used as fluid status index and OH/ECW ratio >0.15 was defined as clinical overhydration. Patients were divided into two groups; overhydrated (OH/ECW>0.15) and non-overhydrated (OH/ECW≤0.15). RESULTS OH/ECW, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), LVMI and NT-proBNP levels were significanly reduced after hemodialysis session. The presence of overhydration was more frequent in pre-HD patients compared to post-HD patients (31.1% vs 13.3%, p=0.004). OH/ECW was positively correlated with pre-and post-HD SBP, DBP, LVMI and NT-proBNP (p<0.05). Overhydrated patients had significantly higher values of pre-HD and post-HD SBP, DBP, LVMI and NT-proBNP compared to non-overhydrated patients. In addition, SBP, DBP, LVMI and NT-proBNP levels were significantly reduced after hemodialysis in both overhydrated and non-overhydrated patients group. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that OH/ECW ratio was significantly associated with SBP, DBP, LVMI and NT-proBNP.

Abstract
In Alzheimer disease, the development of tau pathology follows neuroanatomically connected pathways, suggesting that abnormal tau species might recruit normal tau by passage from cell to cell. Herein, we analyzed the effect of stereotaxic brain injection of human Alzheimer high-molecular-weight paired helical filaments (PHFs) in the dentate gyrus of wild-type and mutant tau THY-Tau22 mice. After 3 months of incubation, wild-type and THY-Tau22 mice developed an atrophy of the dentate gyrus and a tau pathology characterized by Gallyas and tau-positive grain-like inclusions into granule cells that extended in the hippocampal hilus and eventually away into the alveus, and the fimbria. Gallyas-positive neuropil threads and oligodendroglial coiled bodies were also observed. These tau inclusions were composed only of mouse tau, and were immunoreactive with antibodies to 4R tau, phosphotau, misfolded tau, ubiquitin, and p62. Although local hyperphosphorylation of tau was increased in the dentate gyrus in THY-Tau22 mice, the development of neurofibrillary tangles made of mutant human tau was not accelerated in the hippocampus, indicating that wild-type human PHFs were inefficient in seeding tau aggregates made of G272V/P301S mutant human tau. Our results indicate thus that injection of human wild-type Alzheimer PHF seeded aggregation of wild-type murine tau into an argyrophilic 4R tau pathology, and constitutes an interesting model independent of expression of a mutant tau protein.

Abstract
Methotrexate (Mtx), used for its anticancer and immunsuppresive properties, is known to be a nephrotoxic agent. We aimed to investigate the effects of lycopene (Lyc) alone or combined with melatonin (Mel) on Mtx- induced nephrotoxicity since both of these agents have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Nephrotoxicity was induced by intraperitoneal administration of methotrexate at a dose of 20 mg/kg. Treatment both with Lyc alone and Lyc combined with Mel provided significant reduction in tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 1-beta and ceruloplasmin levels in Mtx administered rats. Hovewer, Lyc combined with Mel provided a significant reduction also in NO levels. Hstopathological examination showed that there was an obvious improvement in the degenerative changes compared to Mtx administrated group with the Lyc combined Mel group giving best protection. In conclusion Lyc alone and combined with Mel provided significant improvement against renal damage caused by Mtx, preseumably via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate Apo A-1 and Apo B-100 levels and Apo B-100/Apo A-1 ratios in preeclamptic (PE) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight PE and 48 without PE patients (healthy pregnancies) matched for gestational age were included. Maternal age, parity, gestational age at delivery, obstetrical complications including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), serum Apo A-1 and Apo B-100 levels, and the Apo B-100/Apo A-1 ratio were compared. RESULTS Preeclamptic patients had significantly lower Apo A-1 levels (167.07mg/dl±14.61mg/dl vs. 244.37mg/dl±20.84mg/dl, p<0.001), higher Apo B-100/Apo A-1 ratio (0.63±0.07 vs. 0.42±0.05, p<0.001), but similar Apo B-100 levels (104.84mg/dl±7.05mg/dl vs. 102.39mg/dl±8.08mg/dl, p=0.118). Mean Apo A-1 and Apo B-100 levels and the Apo B-100/Apo A-1 ratio were similar in patients with severe PE, HELLP syndrome, IUGR, and patients requiring antihypertensive therapy compared to PE patients who did not have these complications (p>0.05). Apo A-1 levels had the best accuracy followed by the Apo B-100/Apo A-1 ratio in patients with PE. CONCLUSION Apo A-1 and the Apo B-100/Apo A-1 ratio may be useful markers in patients with PE. Further studies are required to elucidate this issue.

SETTING A maternity research hospital outpatient clinic, Ankara, Turkey. PARTICIPANTS A total of 200 pregnant adolescents. INTERVENTIONS AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Demographic features and obstetric histories of the participants were assessed. The Rhodes test was performed to determine nausea and vomiting severity in a face-to-face interview, and the self-reported Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was administered with supervision. RESULTS The Rhodes test results showed that 52/200 patients (26%) were classified with none, 83/200 patients (41.5%) with mild, 48/200 patients (24.0%) with moderate, and 17/200 patients (8.5%) with severe symptoms. The mean depression score in the severe vomiting group was significantly higher than that in the no NVP and mild NVP groups (P = .028 and .041, respectively). No differences were found between the other groups. CONCLUSION Severe nausea and vomiting was associated with greater depressive symptom severity in pregnant adolescents.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetic chronic kidney disease has more fatal clinical progresses and this situation can be related to volume overload, which is seen more commonly in diabetic chronic kidney disease patients than in non-diabetic chronic kidney disease patients. Therefore, we examined the effect of diabetes mellitus on volume overload in newly diagnosed stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients whose volume overloads were not showing signs of improvement from renal replacement therapy. Method One hundred and five patients (46 diabetic, 59 non-diabetic) with end-stage chronic kidney disease, who had glomerular filtration rate (GFR) under 15 mL/min for at least three months were enrolled in this prospective study. We determined the body volume overload and configuration using a bioimpedance device. NT-proBNP levels were recorded. Results There was a statistically significant difference between diabetic and non-diabetic groups according to overhydration (OH, p=0.003), extracellular water (ECW, p=0.045), intracellular water (ICW, p<0.001) and OH/ECW (p=0.003). In addition, there was a statistically significant difference between groups in terms of N-terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP levels, p=0.008). Discussion We compared diabetic and non-diabetic end-stage chronic kidney disease patients who were not in renal replacement therapy yet. We found more volume overload and extracellular fluid volume in the diabetic group.

UNLABELLED Chronic trigeminal pain, with its severe related functional problems, is difficult to treat. Treatment is often empirically based on medications used for other chronic pain conditions. Systemic sodium channel and calcium channel blocking agents may cause a multitude of complications that are often poorly tolerated by the patient. AIM The aim of this case report was to assess the efficacy of topical 5% lidocaine plasters in reducing pain and reducing adjuvant medication in patients with orofacial neuropathic pain. METHOD Fourteen patients with chronic orofacial pain conditions referred to the oral surgery department were instructed to wear 5% lidocaine plasters for 12 hours each day over the painful area. The conditions included post-surgical neuropathy (n = 10), multiple sclerosis-related pain (n = 1), persistent idiopathic facial pain (n = 1), Ramsay Hunt syndrome (post-herpetic neuralgia, n = 1) and trigeminal neuralgia (n = 1). Data were collected on patient demographics, pain levels and medication. RESULTS Pain levels improved in 12 out of 14 patients. Nine patients had a reduction in adjuvant medication, two of whom completely stopped adjuvant treatment. CONCLUSION This case series demonstrates that of the use of 5% lidocaine plasters may play a useful role in the management of chronic trigeminal pain. A suggested novel approach for the management of orofacial pain, for clinicians, is presented. SUMMARY POINTS Management of chronic orofacial pain continues to be a major challenge to the clinician.Patients are often placed on a multitude of medications in an attempt to alleviate pain without success.Topical 5% lidocaine plasters, currently used for the management of post-herpetic neuralgia, offer the option of locally targeting trigeminal pain without the multiple side-effects of systemic medication.This case series demonstrates that lidocaine plasters decrease verbal pain scores in extraoral, trigeminal and neuropathic pain, and reduce the use of other neuromodulatory agents in some, but not all, patients.The plasters should be considered as a useful adjuvant in the management of pain in these patients.

Abstract
Several neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by both cognitive and motor deficits associated with accumulation of tau aggregates in brain, brainstem, and spinal cord. The Tg30 murine tauopathy model expresses a human tau protein bearing two frontotemporal dementia with Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 pathogenic mutations and develops a severe motor deficit and tau aggregates in brain and spinal cord. To investigate the origin of this motor deficit, we analyzed the age-dependent innervation status of the neuromuscular junctions and mutant tau expression in Tg30 mice. The human transgenic tau was detected from postnatal day 7 onward in motoneurons, axons in the sciatic nerve, and axon terminals of the neuromuscular junctions. The development and maturation of neuromuscular junctions were not disrupted in Tg30 mice, but their maintenance was disturbed in adult Tg30 mice, resulting in a progressive and severe muscle denervation. This muscle denervation was associated with early electrophysiological signs of muscle spontaneous activities and histological signs of muscle degeneration. Early loss of synaptic vesicles in axon terminals preceding motor deficits, accumulation of Gallyas-positive aggregates, and cathepsin-positive vesicular clusters in axons in the sciatic nerve suggest that this denervation results from disturbances of axonal transport. This physiopathological mechanism might be responsible for motor signs observed in some human tauopathies, and for synaptic dysfunction resulting from alterations at the presynaptic level in these diseases.

Abstract
Active immunization using tau phospho-peptides in tauopathy mouse models has been observed to reduce tau pathology, especially when given prior to the onset of pathology. Since tau aggregates in these models and in human tauopathies are composed of full-length tau with many post-translational modifications, and are composed of several tau isoforms in many of them, pathological tau proteins bearing all these post-translational modifications might prove to be optimal tau conformers to use as immunogens, especially in models with advanced tau pathology. To this aim, we immunized aged wild-type and mutant tau mice with preparations containing human paired helical filaments (PHF) emulsified in Alum-adjuvant. This immunization protocol with fibrillar PHF-tau was well tolerated and did not induce an inflammatory reaction in the brain or adverse effect in these aged mice. Mice immunized with four repeated injections developed anti-PHF-tau antibodies with rising titers that labeled human neurofibrillary tangles in situ. Immunized mutant tau mice had a lower density of hippocampal Gallyas-positive neurons. Brain levels of Sarkosyl-insoluble tau were also reduced in immunized mice. These results indicate that an immunization protocol using fibrillar PHF-tau proteins is an efficient and tolerated approach to reduce tau pathology in an aged tauopathy animal model.

Abstract
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have been increasingly investigated for use in a wide range of applications due to their unique physicochemical properties including high hydrophobicity, heat and electrical insulation, resistance to oxidation, and hydrogen storage capacity. They are also valued for their possible medical and biomedical applications including drug delivery, use in biomaterials, and neutron capture therapy. In this review, BNNT synthesis methods and the surface modification strategies are first discussed, and then their toxicity and application studies are summarized. Finally, a perspective for the future use of these novel materials is discussed.

Abstract
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex and heritable eating disorder characterized by dangerously low body weight. Neither candidate gene studies nor an initial genome-wide association study (GWAS) have yielded significant and replicated results. We performed a GWAS in 2907 cases with AN from 14 countries (15 sites) and 14 860 ancestrally matched controls as part of the Genetic Consortium for AN (GCAN) and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 3 (WTCCC3). Individual association analyses were conducted in each stratum and meta-analyzed across all 15 discovery data sets. Seventy-six (72 independent) single nucleotide polymorphisms were taken forward for in silico (two data sets) or de novo (13 data sets) replication genotyping in 2677 independent AN cases and 8629 European ancestry controls along with 458 AN cases and 421 controls from Japan. The final global meta-analysis across discovery and replication data sets comprised 5551 AN cases and 21 080 controls. AN subtype analyses (1606 AN restricting; 1445 AN binge-purge) were performed. No findings reached genome-wide significance. Two intronic variants were suggestively associated: rs9839776 (P=3.01 × 10(-7)) in SOX2OT and rs17030795 (P=5.84 × 10(-6)) in PPP3CA. Two additional signals were specific to Europeans: rs1523921 (P=5.76 × 10(-)(6)) between CUL3 and FAM124B and rs1886797 (P=8.05 × 10(-)(6)) near SPATA13. Comparing discovery with replication results, 76% of the effects were in the same direction, an observation highly unlikely to be due to chance (P=4 × 10(-6)), strongly suggesting that true findings exist but our sample, the largest yet reported, was underpowered for their detection. The accrual of large genotyped AN case-control samples should be an immediate priority for the field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study changes in serum C-reactive protein, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin and albumin concentration, total anti-oxidant capacity and paraoxonase-1 and butyrylcholinesterase activity in dogs with parvoviral enteritis of different degrees of clinical severity. METHODS Prospective study of 9 healthy and 43 dogs with parvoviral enteritis that were classified into mildly, moderately and affected groups. RESULTS Dogs with parvoviral enteritis had a significant increase in C-reactive protein compared with healthy dogs, with an increase of higher magnitude in animals with more severe clinical signs. All dogs with parvoviral enteritis had a significant increase in haptoglobin concentration compared with healthy dogs, but with no difference according to disease severity. There was a decrease in paraoxonase-1 activity in parvoviral enteritis. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Major increases of C-reactive protein concentrations in dogs with parvoviral enteritis are a marker of disease severity. In addition, higher values for anti-oxidants in severe cases compared with mild and moderate cases suggest a possible compensatory anti-oxidant mechanism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preeclampsia is a life-threatening disorder of pregnancy. The pathogenic mechanisms of preeclampsia remain uncertain. The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between urinary angiotensinogen (UAGT) levels, an indicator of local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity in the kidney, and blood pressure and urinary protein excretion in preeclampsia. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this study, 90 women aged between 20-39 years were recruited. Spot urine samples were collected to measure urinary angiotensinogen/creatinine ratio (UAGT/UCre). Log(UAGT/UCre) was compared in pregnancies with and without preeclampsia and non-pregnant controls. Factors affecting log(UAGT/UCre) in pregnancies were also investigated. RESULTS In all pregnancies log(UAGT/UCre) levels were significantly higher than in non-pregnant controls (0.58±0.19 vs. 0.33±0.14, respectively, p=0.002). However, log(UAGT/UCre) levels in pregnancies with preeclampsia were slightly lower than in normal pregnancies (0.52±0.18 vs. 0.64±0.19, respectively, p=0.012). Log(UAGT/UCre) levels were correlated positively with blood pressure and proteinuria in pregnancies with preeclampsia. However, log(UAGT/UCre) levels were not correlated with age, height, body weight, gestational age, body mass index, and serum creatinine. CONCLUSION This study showed that elevated local RAS activity in kidney was correlated with high blood pressure and proteinuria in preeclampsia. Local RAS activation in the kidneys may be one of the contributing factors in the development of preeclampsia.

Abstract
Neurofibrillary degeneration in transgenic models of tauopathies has been observed to be enhanced when these models are crossed with transgenic models developing an Aβ pathology. The mechanisms leading to this enhanced tau pathology are not well understood. We have performed a detailed analysis of tau misprocessing in a new transgenic mouse model combining APP, PS1 and tau mutations (5xFAD×Tg30 mice) by comparison with littermates expressing only a FTD mutant tau (Tg30 mice). These 5xFAD×Tg30 mice showed a more severe deficient motor phenotype than Tg30 mice and developed with age a dramatically accelerated NFT load in the brain compared to Tg30 mice. Insoluble tau in 5xFAD×Tg30 mice compared to insoluble tau in Tg30 mice showed increased phosphorylation, enhanced misfolding and truncation changes mimicking more closely the post-translational changes characteristic of PHF-tau in Alzheimer's disease. Endogenous wild-type mouse tau was recruited at much higher levels in insoluble tau in 5xFAD×Tg30 than in Tg30 mice. Extracellular amyloid load, Aβ40 and Aβ42, β-CTFs and β-CTF phosphorylation levels were lower in 5xFAD×Tg30 mice than in 5xFAD mice. Despite this reduction of Aβ, a significant hippocampal neuronal loss was observed in 5xFAD×Tg30 but not in 5xFAD mice indicating its closer association with increased tau pathology. This 5xFAD×Tg30 model thus mimics more faithfully tau pathology and neuronal loss observed in AD and suggests that additional post-translational changes in tau and self-recruitment of endogenous tau drive the enhanced tau pathology developing in the presence of Aβ pathology.

Abstract
The PainDETECT questionnaire (PD-Q), originally developed and validated in a multicentre study of neuropathic pain (NeP) patients with back pain, is increasingly being applied to other pain conditions. The present study assessed whether the PD-Q would be a suitable screening tool for detecting NeP in patients with post-traumatic inferior alveolar nerve injury (IANI) and lingual nerve injury (LNI). A prospective cohort of patients with clinically diagnosed neuropathy was given the PD-Q at their clinic appointment, or it was sent to them after their consultation. Eighty-nine patients (IANI = 56, LNI = 33) were included in the study, 75 of whom suffered from painful neuropathy. Of the patients who completed the questionnaire fully (n = 56), allowing a summary score to be calculated, 34% were classified as having 'likely NeP' according to the PD-Q; 41% of patients scored in the uncertain classification range and the remaining quarter in the 'likely nociceptive' classification. There was a significant association between PD-Q scores and pain intensity levels across the sample, with those classified as likely NeP reporting high levels of pain. The results suggest that the PD-Q in its current format is not a suitable screening tool for NeP associated with IANI or LNI.
