Abstract
INTRODUCTION Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) caused by Neisseria meningitidis is a disease with a high mortality and morbidity rate. Serogroup W meningococci (MenW) used to be associated with sporadic disease worldwide. In recent years, a surge in MenW incidence is being observed. REPORT An older adult presenting with acute onset shortness of breath, chest pain and fever, was diagnosed with pericarditis with meningococcemia due to MenW:ST11 strain. MenW infections are reported to have a higher case fatality rate and atypical clinical presentations: MenW has been identified in patients presenting with pneumonia, gastro-intestinal symptoms, arthritis, and pericarditis. DISCUSSION In Belgium, the National Reference Laboratory is also noticing an increase in serogroup Wmeningococcal disease. Recent epidemiological data for Belgium is reported in the article. MenW infections are reported to have a higher case fatality rate and atypical clinical presentations: MenW has been identified in patients presenting with pneumonia, gastro-intestinal symptoms, arthritis, and pericarditis. CONCLUSION When factors for poor prognosis are present in patients with pericarditi clinicians should be vigilant and search for the underlying aetiology .

Abstract
AIM To assess the efficacy and safety of vildagliptin versus other oral glucose-lowering drugs added to antidiabetic monotherapy in Belgian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, in comparison to the global EDGE study results. METHODS This is a pre-specified post-hoc subanalysis of the Belgian patient cohort from a worldwide 1-year observational study that compared the effectiveness and tolerability of vildagliptin to other oral antidiabetic agents in type 2 diabetes patients failing monotherapy with oral glucose-lowering agents (EDGE). A total of 1793 Belgian patients were enrolled. Physicians could add any oral antidiabetic drug and patients entered either into the vildagliptin or the comparator cohort. The primary effectiveness and tolerability endpoint was defined as the proportion of patients having a treatment response (HbA1c reduction from baseline to month 12 endpoint >0·3%) without hypoglycemia, weight gain, peripheral oedema, or gastrointestinal side-effects. RESULTS In the Belgian population, 37·8% of patients in the vildagliptin group and 32·8% in the comparator group had a decrease in HbA1c of >0·3% without the predefined tolerability issues of hypoglycemia, weight gain, oedema or, gastrointestinal complaints (primary endpoint), resulting in an unadjusted odds ratio of 1·24 (95% CI: 0·96-1·61). Mean HbA1c change from baseline was -0·81% in the vildagliptin cohort and -0·75% in the comparator cohort. Overall, vildagliptin was well tolerated with similarly low incidences of total adverse events (14·9% versus 14·5% in the compactor group) and serious adverse events (2·7% versus 2·5% in the comparator group). CONCLUSION In this EDGE subgroup of Belgian patients with type 2 diabetes who do not achieve the glycemic targets with monotherapy, a similar trend as in the global EDGE study was observed. Adding vildagliptin as a second oral glucose-lowering agent resulted in lowering HbA1c to <7% without weight gain, hypoglycemia or peripheral oedema in a higher proportion of patients than comparator oral antidiabetic drugs, with no differences in the reported number of adverse events.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte microcapsules (MCs) are potent protein delivery vehicles which can be tailored with ligands to stimulate maturation of dendritic cells (DCs). We investigated the immune stimulatory capacity of monocyte-derived DC (Mo-DC) loaded with these MCs, containing p24 antigen from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) alone [p24-containing MC (MCp24)] or with the Toll-like receptor ligand 3 (TLR3) ligand poly I:C (MCp24pIC) as a maturation factor. MO-DC, loaded with MCp24pIC, upregulated CCR7, CD80, CD83, and CD86 and produced high amounts of interleukin-12 (IL-12) cytokine, to a similar extent as MCp24 in the presence of an optimized cytokine cocktail. MO-DC from HIV-infected patients under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) exposed to MCp24 together with cytokine cocktail or to MCp24pIC expanded autologous p24-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell responses as measured by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and IL-2 cytokine production and secretion. In vivo relevance was shown by immunizing C57BL/6 mice with MCp24pIC, which induced both humoral and cellular p24-specific immune responses. Together these data provide a proof of principle that both antigen and DC maturation signal can be delivered as a complex with polyelectrolyte capsules to stimulate virus-specific T cells both in vitro and in vivo. Polyelectrolyte MCs could be useful for in vivo immunization in HIV-1 and other infections.

Abstract
Charged-particle activation analysis offers a number of interesting possibilities for the determination of trace elements in biological material. It allows the determination of those elements that are difficult or impossible to determine by neutron activation, such as Li, B, Al, Si, V, Cr, Ni, Cd, Sn, Tl, and Pb. Up to now, protons have been successfully applied to samples of both vegetal and human origin. A number of difficulties have to be overcome, one of which is excessive heating of the samples owing to the limited range of the charged particles, thus giving rise to a high energy deposition in a small volume. Moreover, the sample composition has to be known to allow the calculation of the range of the particles. An interesting alternative has been proposed using an internal standard together with a standard additions procedure. Proton activation analysis was tested on a wide variety of reference materials, giving evidence that accurate results can be obtained for many trace elements, even when applying a purely instrumental method. Thus, the method can also be applied in the certification of reference materials, since nuclear methods are independent of chemical properties of the sample.

Abstract
We determined the serum molybdenum concentration by neutron activation analysis in apparently healthy subjects and in patients with diseases of the liver and biliary system. The level was found to be markedly elevated in the initial phase of acute viral hepatitis (mean +/- S.D. 3.10 +/- 1.46 ng/ml vs. 0.55 +/- 0.21 in controls) and to return to normal during convalescence, in parallel with the liver function tests. The most significant correlations were found between the serum molybdenum concentration and the serum levels of GOT ( r = 0.710, p less than 0.001) and GPT (r = 0.683, p less than 0.001). Besides, the serum molybdenum level (mean +/- S.D.) was observed to be definitely increased in patients with HBsAg-positive chronic active hepatitis (0.97 +/- 0.49 ng/ml), HBsAg-positive liver cirrhosis (1.01 +/- 0.50), alcoholic liver disease (1.32 +/- 0.56), liver metastases (1.40 +/-0.39), gallstones (1.28 +/- 0.38), tumors of the gallbladder or extrahepatic bile ducts (1.64 +/- 0.44), and carcinoma of the head of the pancreas (1.61 +/- 0.91). Finally, the serum molybdenum level was found to be raised in two patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and in two out of four patients with drug-induced liver injury. The etiologic mechanism and the clinical importance of the observed abnormality remain to be established. Our study enlarges the existing information concerning the disorders of trace element metabolism in liver diseases.

Abstract
We determined the iron, zinc, selenium, rubidium, and cesium concentrations in serum and packed blood cells by instrumental neutron activation analysis without chemical separations. Lyophilized samples were irradiated for 12 days at a flux of 10(13) neutrons-cm-2-s-1, mineralized by wet digestion, and measured two times with a high-resolution Ge(Li) detector--for 6 h about a month after the irradiation and for 15 h two or three months after the irradiation, The following values were obtained: 163 +/- 0.43 mg/liter (serum iron), 1025 +/- 136 mg/kg wet wt (packed cells iron), 1¿ +/- 0.20 mg/liter (serum zinc), 11.15 +/- 1.83 mg/kg wet wt (packed cells zinc), 0.13 +/- 0.02 mg/liter (serum selenium), 0.16 +/- 0.03 mg/kg wet wt (packed cells selenium), 0.17 +/- 0.04 mg/liter (serum rubidium), 4.28 +/- 0.98 mg/kg wet wt (packed cells rubidium), 0.74 +/- 0.20 microgram/liter (serum cesium), and 4.82 +/- 2.10 microgram/kg wet wt (packed cells cesium).
