Abstract
Studies have shown racial/ethnic differences in the prevalence of vasomotor symptoms (VMS), sleep disturbance and VMS treatment in menopause. To assess the reproducibility of these differences, we systematically reviewed observational studies, published in 2000-2021, reporting the prevalence/incidence of VMS, sleep disturbance or treatment use in menopausal women stratified by race/ethnicity. We screened 3799 records from PubMed and Embase and included 27 papers (19 studies). No incidence data were found. Prevalence data varied widely, but some common patterns emerged. In all five studies comparing VMS between Black women and White, Hispanic and/or East Asian women, the prevalence was highest in Black women and lowest in East Asian women. The prevalence of sleep disturbance overall was compared among Black, White and East Asian women in two study populations, and was highest in White women in both papers. Sleep disturbance was more common than VMS in East Asian women. In all four studies comparing hormone therapy use between White women and Black and/or East Asian women, treatment use was more common in White women. These results highlight the need for individualized counseling and treatment, outreach to under-served minorities, and standardized definitions and outcome measures for VMS and sleep disturbance for future studies.

Background
Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in patients with type 2 diabetes not only reduces hyperglycaemia, but also improves cardiovascular outcomes. However, GLP-1 RA treatment also increases heart rate: an apparent paradox.
Purpose
Whether the heart rate increase is a direct effect, and whether GLP-1 affects other aspects of cardiac electrophysiology, remain unclear. To answer these questions we investigated the effect of GLP-1 infusion on cardiac electrophysiology in vivo and ex vivo in pigs and pig hearts, respectively, during sinus rhythm and pacing.
Methods
Anaesthetised pigs (n = 8) received infusions of GLP-1 (10 pmol/kg/min). Electrocardiogram, atrial monophasic action potentials and atrial conduction velocity data were collected and atrial and ventricular effective refractory periods (ERP) were measured. For the ex vivo studies, pig hearts (n = 7) were excised, retrogradely perfused and exposed to consecutive bolus perfusions of 2 and 4 nmol GLP-1, 100 nmol of the GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin-9-39 and a final 4 nmol bolus of GLP-1. The same electrophysiological parameters were measured.
Results
In anaesthetised pigs, GLP-1 increased heart rate, cardiac output and diastolic pressure, while systemic vascular resistance was decreased. Infusion of GLP-1 decreased PQ interval in sinus rhythm (P = 0.019, n = 8) and during atrial pacing (P = 0.027, n = 6) with 8 ± 3 % and 12 ± 3 %, respectively. Additionally, GLP-1 decreased atrial ERP at all pacing cycle lengths (P = 0.04, n = 7), while ventricular ERP was unaffected (P = 0.29, n = 7). In the isolated perfused heart, GLP-1 increased heart rate with 13 ± 2 bpm (P = 0.001, n = 7). This increase in heart rate was completely abolished by pre-administration of exendin-9-39. Atrial ERP shortened after GLP-1 perfusion (P = 0.01, n = 7) comparable to the in vivo studies, with an average decrease of 11 ± 2 %. This effect was also abolished by exendin-9-39.
Conclusion
GLP-1 increases heart rate through activation of the GLP-1 receptor in the isolated perfused heart, suggesting a direct effect of GLP-1 rather than activation through the central nervous system. Additionally, GLP-1 affects atrial electrophysiology, but not ventricular electrophysiology, in vivo and ex vivo independent of the increase in heart rate.

Abstract
Physical long-term impacts of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) remain controversial and an underestimation of their severity becomes increasingly evident. Even less is known about mental long-term impacts of TTC. This study aims at a better understanding of the physical and mental long-term effects of TTC in comparison to myocardial infarctions (MI). On average 5 years after disease onset, 68 TTC patients and 68 age- and sex-matched MI patients were assessed for disease-related quality of life, depression, anxiety, chronic stress, social support, resilience, and life events prior to disease onset. Scores of TTC and MI patients were compared to each other and to normative references values. Regression analyses were used to evaluate the predictive value of the number of life events prior to disease onset for physical and mental long-term outcomes. Both groups displayed higher scores in depression and anxiety, higher levels of chronic stress, and lower scores in physical and mental quality of life in comparison to norm samples, while social support did not differ from norms. No differences between the two patient groups were observed. Within both groups, the majority of patients (TTC: 69.1%; MI: 60.3%) reported stressful life events prior to disease onset. In TTCs and MIs, the number of events had a significant impact on long-term mental health and chronic stress. Notably, both patient collectives scored higher in resilience than healthy controls. Results suggest negative long-term impacts of TTC on mental and physical wellbeing, comparable to those of MI. Besides a good somatic-medical care, psychotherapeutic support, including the development of functional coping strategies, might be warranted for TTC patients. The long-term impact of TTC should be taken as serious as that of MI.

exRNA Atlas Analysis Reveals Distinct Extracellular RNA Cargo Types and Their Carriers Present across Human Biofluids. Cell 2019; 177:463-477.e15.

Abstract
To develop a map of cell-cell communication mediated by extracellular RNA (exRNA), the NIH Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium created the exRNA Atlas resource (https://exrna-atlas.org). The Atlas version 4P1 hosts 5,309 exRNA-seq and exRNA qPCR profiles from 19 studies and a suite of analysis and visualization tools. To analyze variation between profiles, we apply computational deconvolution. The analysis leads to a model with six exRNA cargo types (CT1, CT2, CT3A, CT3B, CT3C, CT4), each detectable in multiple biofluids (serum, plasma, CSF, saliva, urine). Five of the cargo types associate with known vesicular and non-vesicular (lipoprotein and ribonucleoprotein) exRNA carriers. To validate utility of this model, we re-analyze an exercise response study by deconvolution to identify physiologically relevant response pathways that were not detected previously. To enable wide application of this model, as part of the exRNA Atlas resource, we provide tools for deconvolution and analysis of user-provided case-control studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dienogest demonstrates efficacy for lesion reduction and pain relief in clinical trials of endometriosis. The current study investigated an intraperitoneal animal model of endometriosis to further characterize the effects of dienogest. METHODS Endometrial-like lesions were induced in rats by autotransplantation of uterine tissue into the peritoneal cavity. Dienogest 0.3 or 1.0 mg/kg/day, danazol 100 mg/kg/day, or vehicle control were administered orally for 28 days. Changes in endometrial-like lesion size during treatment were assessed at laparotomy. Uterine horn weight was also measured as an index of the estrogenic effects of treatment. RESULTS Dienogest 0.3 mg/kg/day significantly reduced the total endometrial lesion area, with an effect equivalent to danazol 100 mg/kg/day. Unlike dienogest 1.0 mg/kg/day, dienogest 0.3 mg/kg/day had no effect on uterine horn weight, indicating an absence of estrogenic effects for this dose in rodents. CONCLUSION Dienogest 0.3 mg/kg/day for 28 days demonstrated potent inhibitory activity on the growth of endometrial tissue in this model, providing supportive evidence for the efficacy of dienogest in lesion reduction.

Abstract
Limb Expression 1 (Lix1), a founding member of a novel gene family, was identified in a screen for genes transiently and locally expressed during early chicken limb development. Most prominently, Lix1 is transiently expressed in the nascent hindlimb bud between Hamburger-Hamilton stages 15 and 19. Chicken Lix1 transcripts are also found in the basal plate of rhombomeres 3 and 5, in pharyngeal and in foregut mesenchyme and in all facial primordia except for the mandibular arches. Homologs of chick Lix1 exist in human, mouse and Drosophila.

Abstract
Heat treatment and a solid-phase radioimmunoassay are combined to give a relatively simple and rapid procedure for assay of carcinoembryonic antigen in plasma or serum. The new way we describe to extract this antigen is an alternative to the conventional method of extraction with perchloric acid. Heating plasma or serum samples in acetate buffer (0.16 mol/L, pH 5.0) at 70 degrees C for 15 min precipitates out most of the heat-labile, nonspecific plasma proteins, but leaves most of the antigen in solution, with its immunochemical properties apparently unaffected. Comparison between the heat treatment and the perchloric acid extraction yielded comparable values when tested either by solid-phase radioimmunoassay or by the zirconyl phosphate precipitation method. An added advantage of our method is that it gives the same assay values for both plasma and serum. Results for a group of pathological plasma samples, assayed by both our method and the perchloric acid-zirconyl phosphate precipitation method, gave a correlation coefficient of 0.90.
