Abstract
SS 433 is a microquasar, a stellar binary system that launches collimated relativistic jets. We observed SS 433 in gamma rays using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) and found an energy-dependent shift in the apparent position of the gamma-ray emission from the parsec-scale jets. These observations trace the energetic electron population and indicate that inverse Compton scattering is the emission mechanism of the gamma rays. Our modeling of the energy-dependent gamma-ray morphology constrains the location of particle acceleration and requires an abrupt deceleration of the jet flow. We infer the presence of shocks on either side of the binary system, at distances of 25 to 30 parsecs, and that self-collimation of the precessing jets forms the shocks, which then efficiently accelerate electrons.

Abstract
HostSeq was launched in April 2020 as a national initiative to integrate whole genome sequencing data from 10,000 Canadians infected with SARS-CoV-2 with clinical information related to their disease experience. The mandate of HostSeq is to support the Canadian and international research communities in their efforts to understand the risk factors for disease and associated health outcomes and support the development of interventions such as vaccines and therapeutics. HostSeq is a collaboration among 13 independent epidemiological studies of SARS-CoV-2 across five provinces in Canada. Aggregated data collected by HostSeq are made available to the public through two data portals: a phenotype portal showing summaries of major variables and their distributions, and a variant search portal enabling queries in a genomic region. Individual-level data is available to the global research community for health research through a Data Access Agreement and Data Access Compliance Office approval. Here we provide an overview of the collective project design along with summary level information for HostSeq. We highlight several statistical considerations for researchers using the HostSeq platform regarding data aggregation, sampling mechanism, covariate adjustment, and X chromosome analysis. In addition to serving as a rich data source, the diversity of study designs, sample sizes, and research objectives among the participating studies provides unique opportunities for the research community.

Abstract
Abstract
In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play critical and complex roles in the tumor microenvironment. CAFs are also a major cell type in the desmoplastic stroma in PDAC and may account for half of the entire tumor tissue. Multiple subtypes of CAFs have been suggested, but the tissue origin(s) of CAF subtypes are unknown and genetic tools to robustly target them in vivo are lacking. Here we aimed to examine three potential tissue sources of CAFs: the pancreatic epithelium (through epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition), the bone marrow (through circulation), and the pancreatic mesenchyme or tissue resident fibroblasts (TRFs) in the normal pancreas (through proliferation). We utilized a genetically engineered mouse model of PDAC, where Kras and p53 mutations were engineered in the pancreatic epithelium using an Flp-Frt system. To determine whether the pancreatic epithelium gives rise to CAFs, we permanently labeled the pancreatic epithelium with a GFP reporter and traced their cell descendants by GFP expression. Despite robust GFP labeling of the epithelium, GFP expression was rarely identified in CAFs. To determine whether the bone marrow gives rise to CAFs, we transplanted donor bone marrow carrying a ubiquitously expressed GFP reporter to GFP-negative recipient mice. We found that minimal proportion of pancreatic CAFs were tagged with GFP. Lastly, to determine whether pancreatic TRFs give rise to CAFs, we used an inducible CreER-LoxP system to allow for permanent Tomato labeling in TRF progenitors, the splanchnic mesenchyme, during mid-gestation. Lineage tracing in PDAC showed that the vast majority of CAFs were labeled with Tomato expression, suggesting their splanchnic origin. Furthermore, certain splanchnic gene expression signatures persisted in subsets of CAFs in both the PDAC mouse model and human patient samples. Deletion of one of the splanchnic genes, Gata6, in CAFs resulted in increased tumor burden in the pancreas, suggesting a tumor-restraining role of Gata6 in CAFs. In summary, we found that the pancreatic epithelium and bone marrow contributes to a minimal proportion of CAFs in PDAC. Meanwhile, pancreatic TRFs are derived from the splanchnic mesenchyme during fetal development and they expand to contribute to the vast majority of CAFs in PDAC. Moreover, the persistence of splanchnic signature defines subtypes of CAFs, with a potential tumor-suppressing function. This study provides genetic approaches to robustly target CAFs in vivo, and novel insights into CAF origin, heterogeneity and function in PDAC.

Abstract
Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by a dense stroma primarily composed of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). These fibroblasts are a diverse population of cells; some groups of fibroblasts have been shown to play tumor supporting roles while others have been shown to be tumor suppressing. Two prolific and well-characterized CAF subtypes—myofibroblasts (myCAFs) and inflammatory CAFs (iCAFs)—could potentially have different regulatory effects on tumor growth. Understanding the tissue origin of these two groups of CAFs could assist in understanding the complex and heterogeneous roles they might play in PDAC development. Previous studies in our group showed that the splanchnic mesenchyme, a layer of mesenchyme adjacent to the fetal pancreatic epithelium, gives rise to the majority of the total CAF population. Here, I aim to test the hypothesis that both iCAFs and myCAFs originate from the splanchnic mesenchyme. myCAFs have been previously observed to be proximal to tumor cells and express αSMA at a higher level, while iCAFs have been observed to be distal to tumor cells and express αSMA at a lower level. Here, we used a genetically engineered mouse PDAC model carrying KrasG12D/+;p53Frt/+;Pdx1FlpO/+;Isl1cre/+;R26Tomato/+ alleles. In this model, epithelial specific FlpO expression leads to Kras activation and p53 deletion, causing tumorigenesis. Simultaneously, splanchnic specific Cre expression leads to permanent tomato expression in the splanchnic descendants. The pancreata of these mice were harvested, fixed, and mounted onto slides. Co-immunostaining with αSMA and tomato was then done. The stained slides were scanned, and the Inform software was used to segment and phenotype the cells. More than 95% of αSMA high cells were tomato positive, and more than 95% of αSMA low cells were also tomato positive. We thus conclude that both myCAFs and iCAFs originate from the splanchnic mesenchyme. Consistent with previous in vitro studies, this lineage tracing study suggests that different CAF subtypes are likely due to patterning influenced by different factors within the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
The central region of the Milky Way is one of the foremost locations to look for dark matter (DM) signatures. We report the first results on a search for DM particle annihilation signals using new observations from an unprecedented γ-ray survey of the Galactic Center (GC) region, i.e., the Inner Galaxy Survey, at very high energies (≳100 GeV) performed with the H.E.S.S. array of five ground-based Cherenkov telescopes. No significant γ-ray excess is found in the search region of the 2014-2020 dataset and a profile likelihood ratio analysis is carried out to set exclusion limits on the annihilation cross section ⟨σv⟩. Assuming Einasto and Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) DM density profiles at the GC, these constraints are the strongest obtained so far in the TeV DM mass range. For the Einasto profile, the constraints reach ⟨σv⟩ values of 3.7×10^{-26} cm^{3} s^{-1} for 1.5 TeV DM mass in the W^{+}W^{-} annihilation channel, and 1.2×10^{-26} cm^{3} s^{-1} for 0.7 TeV DM mass in the τ^{+}τ^{-} annihilation channel. With the H.E.S.S. Inner Galaxy Survey, ground-based γ-ray observations thus probe ⟨σv⟩ values expected from thermal-relic annihilating TeV DM particles.

Abstract
Abstract
In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play critical and complex roles in the tumor microenvironment. CAFs are also a major cell type in the desmoplastic stroma in PDAC and may account for half of the entire tumor tissue. Multiple subtypes of CAFs have been suggested, but the tissue origin(s) of CAF subtypes are unknown and genetic tools to robustly target them in vivo are lacking. Here we aimed to examine three potential tissue sources of CAFs: the pancreatic epithelium (through epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition), the bone marrow (through circulation), and the pancreatic tissue resident fibroblasts (TRFs) in the normal pancreas (through proliferation). We utilized a genetically engineered mouse model of PDAC, where Kras and p53 mutations were engineered in the pancreatic epithelium using an Flp-Frt system. To determine whether the pancreatic epithelium gives rise to CAFs, we permanently labeled the pancreatic epithelium with a GFP reporter and traced their cell descendants by GFP expression. Despite robust GFP labeling of the epithelium, GFP expression was rarely identified in CAFs, suggesting little contribution of epithelium to the CAF pool. To determine whether the bone marrow gives rise to CAFs, we transplanted donor bone marrow carrying a ubiquitously expressed GFP reporter allele to GFP-negative recipient mice. We found that only a small portion of pancreatic CAFs were tagged with GFP. Lastly, to determine whether pancreatic TRFs give rise to CAFs, we used an inducible CreER-LoxP system to allow for permanent Tomato labeling in TRFs progenitors, the splanchnic mesenchyme, during mid-gestation. Lineage tracing in PDAC showed that the vast majority of CAFs were labeled with Tomato expression, suggesting their splanchnic origin. Furthermore, certain splanchnic gene expression signatures were persistent in subsets of CAFs in both the PDAC mouse model and human patient samples. In summary, we found that bone marrow contributes to a small portion of CAFs in PDAC, and the pancreatic epithelium contributes even less. Meanwhile, pancreatic TRFs are derived from the splanchnic mesenchyme during fetal development and they expand to contribute to the vast majority of CAFs in PDAC. Moreover, the persistence of splanchnic signature defines subtypes of CAFs. This study provides approaches to robustly target CAFs in vivo, and novel insights into CAF origin and heterogeneity in PDAC.

Abstract
The presence of multiple renal arteries is the most common form of vascular anomalies found in donor kidneys. In rare cases, small renal polar arteries may be found. They can be anastomosed with deep inferior epigastric arteries, resulting in vascular augmentation of transplanted kidneys and contributing to better graft function. Renal perfusion may be increased via 2 types of vascular reconstruction known as "turbocharging" and "supercharging". Turbocharging uses vascular sources within the same organ area, whereas supercharging uses distant vascular sources. Using additional vessels can either complicate the surgery or, contradictorily, ease the way of procedure. This case study presents a kidney transplant during which arterial anastomosis between deep inferior epigastric artery and small polar renal artery was performed.

Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has significantly affected the number of transplanted organs worldwide. The rules and restrictions related to transplantation activities in Poland are included in the updated guidelines of the Polish Organizational and Coordination Centre for Transplantation. Our clinic faces the same problems as the rest of the hospitals in the country. Not only are the number of recipients falling, but there are also numerous restrictions concerning, among other things, qualification of donors and recipients and even preparation of centers for long-term care in the event of infection of organ recipients with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Statistics showed, after an initial fall in the number of kidneys transplanted, a temporary normalization during the summer months, only to record a fall again with an increase in new cases of COVID-19. A total of 29 kidneys were transplanted at our center between March and December 2020. Kidney transplantation is not only linked to the operation itself, but also to the follow-up care of the recipients. Reduced immunity among recipients due to immunosuppressive treatment as well as comorbidities among recipients contribute to this group being at increased risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. The number of cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection among kidney transplant recipients at our center was 7, of which we recorded 2 deaths due to COVID-19 in the period after kidney transplant. Postoperative complications probably related to previous SARS-CoV-2 infection occurred in 1 patient.

Abstract
Recurrent novae are repeating thermonuclear explosions in the outer layers of white dwarfs, due to the accretion of fresh material from a binary companion. The shock generated when ejected material slams into the companion star's wind can accelerate particles. We report very-high-energy (VHE, [Formula: see text]) gamma rays from the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi, up to a month after its 2021 outburst, observed using the High Energy Stereoscopic System. The VHE emission has a similar temporal profile to lower-energy GeV emission, indicating a common origin, with a two-day delay in peak flux. These observations constrain models of time-dependent particle energization, favoring a hadronic emission scenario over the leptonic alternative. Shocks in dense winds provide favorable environments for efficient acceleration of cosmic-rays to very high energies.

Abstract
Abstract
In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play critical and complex roles in the tumor microenvironment. CAFs are also a major cell type in the desmoplastic stroma in PDAC and may account for half of the entire tumor tissue. Multiple subtypes of CAFs have been suggested, but the tissue origin(s) of CAF subtypes are unknown and genetic tools to robustly target them in vivo are lacking. Here we aimed to examine three potential tissue sources of CAFs: the pancreatic epithelium (through epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition), the bone marrow (through circulation), and the pancreatic mesenchyme or tissue resident fibroblasts (TRFs) in the normal pancreas (through proliferation). We utilized a genetically engineered mouse model of PDAC, where Kras and p53 mutations were engineered in the pancreatic epithelium using an Flp-Frt system. To determine whether the pancreatic epithelium gives rise to CAFs, we permanently labeled the pancreatic epithelium with a GFP reporter and traced their cell descendants by GFP expression. Despite robust GFP labeling of the epithelium, GFP expression was rarely identified in CAFs, suggesting little contribution of epithelium to the CAF pool. To determine whether the bone marrow gives rise to CAFs, we transplanted donor bone marrow carrying a ubiquitously expressed GFP reporter allele to GFP-negative recipient mice. We found that only a small proportion of pancreatic CAFs were tagged with GFP, suggesting their bone marrow origin. Lastly, to determine whether pancreatic TRFs give rise to CAFs, we used an inducible CreER-LoxP system to allow for permanent Tomato labeling in TRFs progenitors, the splanchnic mesenchyme, during mid-gestation. Lineage tracing in PDAC showed that the vast majority of CAFs were labeled with Tomato expression, suggesting their splanchnic origin. Furthermore, certain splanchnic gene expression signatures were persistent in subsets of CAFs in both the PDAC mouse model and human patient samples. In summary, we found that bone marrow contributes to a small proportion of CAFs in PDAC, and the pancreatic epithelium contributes even less. Meanwhile, pancreatic TRFs are derived from the splanchnic mesenchyme during fetal development and they expand to contribute to the vast majority of CAFs in PDAC. Moreover, the persistence of splanchnic signature defines subtypes of CAFs. This study provides approaches to robustly target CAFs in vivo and novel insights into CAF heterogeneity in PDAC.

Abstract
Abstract
One of the defining characteristics of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the formation of a dense stroma comprised of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and immune cell populations. This stroma is immunosuppressive and can act as a physical barrier against common therapeutic treatments. Attempts to therapeutically target the PDAC stroma have yielded contradictory results, suggesting both tumor promoting and tumor limiting roles for CAFs. These studies emphasize the need to understand important transsignaling pathways between CAFs, tumor cells, and the immune microenvironment. IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in several physiological functions and its increased expression is strongly associated with poor survival rates in PDAC patients. STAT3 is a major downstream target of IL-6, and its aberrant activation has been implicated in PDAC tumor progression and immune evasion. IL-6 expression and the IL-6/STAT3 signaling axis in PDAC has been characterized in epithelial tumor cells, however its stromal-specific function on PDAC has yet to be elucidated. We hypothesized that the STAT3 signaling axis in pancreatic CAFs contributes to the immunosuppressive and fibrotic phenotype seen with disease progression. Employing CreLoxP technology, the fibroblast specific protein-1 (Fsp-Cre) transgene was used to conditionally delete STAT3 in fibroblasts in the PdxFlp; KrasG12D; p53frt/frt (KPF) PDAC mouse model developed by our lab. Deletion of STAT3 in fibroblasts significantly increased the survival in a cohort of KPF mice compared to those with intact STAT3. In preliminary investigations, we found an increase in CD8+ T cell infiltration but a decrease in regulatory T cells in the STAT3-deleted cohort. We also observed a decrease in immunosuppressive M2 macrophage populations and an increase in M1 macrophages in the STAT3-deleted cohort. These preliminary results demonstrate a previously unexplored role of IL-6/STAT3 signaling in fibroblasts during PDAC progression.

Abstract
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which are bright flashes of gamma rays from extragalactic sources followed by fading afterglow emission, are associated with stellar core collapse events. We report the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays from the afterglow of GRB 190829A, between 4 and 56 hours after the trigger, using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). The low luminosity and redshift of GRB 190829A reduce both internal and external absorption, allowing determination of its intrinsic energy spectrum. Between energies of 0.18 and 3.3 tera-electron volts, this spectrum is described by a power law with photon index of 2.07 ± 0.09, similar to the x-ray spectrum. The x-ray and VHE gamma-ray light curves also show similar decay profiles. These similar characteristics in the x-ray and gamma-ray bands challenge GRB afterglow emission scenarios.

Abstract
Abstract
In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play critical and complex roles in the tumor microenvironment. CAFs are also a major cell type in the desmoplastic stroma in PDAC and may account for half of the entire tumor tissue. Multiple subtypes of CAFs have been suggested, but the tissue origin(s) of CAF subtypes are unknown and genetic tools to robustly target them in vivo are lacking. Here we aimed to examine three potential tissue sources of CAFs: the pancreatic epithelium (through epithelium-to-mesenchyme transition), the bone marrow (through circulation), and the pancreatic mesenchyme or tissue resident fibroblasts (TRFs) in the normal pancreas (through proliferation). We utilized a genetically engineered mouse model of PDAC, where Kras and p53 mutations were engineered in the pancreatic epithelium using an Flp-Frt system. To determine whether the pancreatic epithelium gives rise to CAFs, we permanently labeled the pancreatic epithelium with a GFP reporter and traced their cell descendants by GFP expression. Despite robust GFP labeling of the epithelium, GFP expression was rarely identified in CAFs, suggesting little contribution of epithelium to the CAF pool. To determine whether the bone marrow gives rise to CAFs, we transplanted donor bone marrow carrying a ubiquitously expressed GFP reporter allele to GFP-negative recipient mice. We found that only a small proportion of pancreatic CAFs were tagged with GFP, suggesting their bone marrow origin. Lastly, to determine whether pancreatic TRFs give rise to CAFs, we used an inducible CreER-LoxP system to allow for permanent Tomato labeling in TRFs progenitors, the splanchnic mesenchyme, during mid-gestation. Lineage tracing in PDAC showed that the vast majority of CAFs were labeled with Tomato expression, suggesting their splanchnic origin. Furthermore, certain splanchnic gene expression signatures were persistent in subsets of CAFs in both the PDAC mouse model and human patient samples. In summary, we found that bone marrow contributes to a small proportion of CAFs in PDAC, and the pancreatic epithelium contributes even less. Meanwhile, pancreatic TRFs are derived from the splanchnic mesenchyme during fetal development and they expand to contribute to the vast majority of CAFs in PDAC. Moreover, the persistence of splanchnic signature defines subtypes of CAFs. This study provides approaches to robustly target CAFs in vivo and novel insights into CAF heterogeneity in PDAC.

Abstract
Abstract
RAS is the most frequently mutated human oncogene and about 20% of all human cancers harbor mutations in one of three RAS oncogenes (K, N and H-RAS) with pancreatic cancers harboring RAS mutations in >90% of tumors. Therapeutically targeting RAS has been highly challenging and other than allele specific KRAS (G12C) inhibitors, no direct RAS inhibitor has been approved for clinical trial. However, KRAS (G12C) mutations are less abundant in some cancers like pancreatic cancer, thus there remains an unmet need for inhibitors that target the more common RAS mutants. This demand devising novel strategies to identify new approaches to inhibit RAS. Previously, we developed the H/KRAS-specific monobody called NS1 that allosterically inhibit RAS-mediated signaling by targeting the α4-α5 dimerization interface. When used as a genetically encoded intracellular reagent, NS1 inhibited the growth of H/KRAS-mutant human tumor lines both in vitro and in xenograft tumor models. However, these tumor models lack a functional immune system. Here, we evaluated the potency of targeting KRAS dimerization interface with NS1 in an immune-competent murine model of pancreatic cancer. Although human and murine KRAS differ by a single amino acid [Asp (D) to Glu (E)] at position 132 in the NS1 binding region of the allosteric lobe, NS1 bound similarly to human and murine KRAS both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, NS1 expression inhibited ERK-MAPK activation, proliferation and anchorage-independent growth of engineered KPC cells derived from pancreatic tumor in the KPC genetic mouse model. Finally, when these engineered KPC cells were injected orthotopically in immune-competent C57/B6 mice, we observed a dramatic decrease in tumor growth kinetics and tumor burden in NS1 expressing cohorts. Similarly, NS1 expression resulted in decreased ERK-MAPK activation and increased apoptosis. NS1 expressing tumors were characterized by increased infiltration of helper CD4+ T cells and macrophage. Thus, inhibition of mutant KRAS by NS1 results in an enhanced anti-tumor immune response in a syngeneic model for pancreatic cancer. These results establish that targeting α4-α5 dimerization interface of RAS can be a viable therapeutic option for targeting KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
During the organ procurement procedure, a surgeon encounters anatomic anomalies not very often but also not uncommonly. These changes may put the success of the transplant into question. Despite the thorough diagnosis of the potential donor, these anomalies are often diagnosed during organ donation. In our paper we present a case of kidney transplantation with duplicated ureter. The organ was collected from a donor with duplicated inferior vena cava. After transplantation, the kidney functioned immediately. Taking into consideration the well-being of the recipient, organs with anatomic abnormalities should be carefully considered for transplantation. This is especially important when there is a constant shortage of organs for transplantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Stromal platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFRβ) has emerged as an actionable mediator of breast tumor-stromal communication. As a receptor tyrosine kinase, PDGFRβ is activated by its ligand, PDGFB, which is released by neighboring tumor epithelium and endothelium. However, how PDGF signaling mediates breast cancer (BC) initiation, progression, and metastasis remains unclear. To evaluate PDGFRβ in this disease, we developed a mouse model of stromal-specific PDGFRβ activation using the Fsp-cre transgene previously published by our group. Mesenchymal-specific activation of PDGFRβ promotes preferential experimental brain metastasis of PDGFB-expressing mammary tumor cells when injected intravenously and accelerates intracranial tumor growth of these cells. Mammary tumor cells expressing low levels of PDGFB do not exhibit a similar increase in brain metastases in PDGFRβ mutant mice. To our knowledge, this is the first example where genetic manipulation of the stroma leads to an increased incidence of BCBM. Our pre-clinical data suggests that primary breast tumors that express high PDGFB could preferentially metastasize to the brain. To test this in patients, we analyzed PDGFB protein expression in a tissue microarray comprised of HER2-positive and triple negative BC primary tumors. While high PDGFB did not correlate with site-independent metastatic recurrence, it was prognostic of brain metastasis, mirroring our mouse data. Our findings suggest that high primary tumor PDGFB expression defines a subset of BC patients predisposed to brain metastases. These patients may benefit from therapeutic intervention of PDGFRβ signaling. To test this pre-clinically, we treated mice harboring intracranial tumors with the PDGFR-specific inhibitor, crenolanib. Excitingly, crenolanib treatment significantly inhibited the brain tumor burden in these mice. Combined, our findings (1) advocate that primary tumor expression of PDGFB is a novel prognostic biomarker for the development of BCBM and (2) support clinical trial evaluation of PDGFR inhibitors for the prevention and treatment of BCBM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term kidney allograft survival is affected by many coexisting immunologic factors. Currently, only two basic immunologic parameters-HLA compatibility and panel reactive antibodies-are routinely used in kidney transplantation management. At the same time, there is a great need for immunologic biomarkers that will help inrease understanding of kidney transplant immunology and improve clinical care of kidney recipients. T regulatory cells (Tregs) represent one of the major targets of this approach. The aim of this study was to investigate possible simple associations between Tregs count in recipients' blood and other routinely assessed or easily accessible laboratory parameters. METHODS Laboratory outcomes from medical files of transplant outpatient clinic in combination with flow cytometry analyses of particular immunocompetent cells populations were used. Flow cytometry was used to calculate Tregs recognized as TCD4+CD25high. The Spearman rank correlation test was used to verify particular associations. RESULTS A negative correlation was found beween HLA compatibility and Tregs count as well as between platelets count and Tregs count. CONCLUSIONS Whereas the negative correlation between Tregs and platelets counts may possibly mirror some recent findings in basic research, a negative correlation between HLA compatibility and Tregs points the direction of further research to factors triggering post-transplant immune tolerance.

Abstract
Previous detections of individual astrophysical sources of neutrinos are limited to the Sun and the supernova 1987A, whereas the origins of the diffuse flux of high-energy cosmic neutrinos remain unidentified. On 22 September 2017, we detected a high-energy neutrino, IceCube-170922A, with an energy of ~290 tera–electron volts. Its arrival direction was consistent with the location of a known γ-ray blazar, TXS 0506+056, observed to be in a flaring state. An extensive multiwavelength campaign followed, ranging from radio frequencies to γ-rays. These observations characterize the variability and energetics of the blazar and include the detection of TXS 0506+056 in very-high-energy γ-rays. This observation of a neutrino in spatial coincidence with a γ-ray–emitting blazar during an active phase suggests that blazars may be a source of high-energy neutrinos.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is a routine procedure in the treatment of patients with kidney failure and requires collaboration of experts from different disciplines. Improvements in the procedure result from numerous factors. METHODS The analyzed group consisted of 150 patients divided into 2 equal subgroups: long-term (>15 years) and short-term (<6 years) graft survival. The following factors were taken into consideration: graft survival time, HLA mismatches, recipient sex, sex compatibility, panel reactive antibodies (PRA), cold ischemia time (CIT), and cause of kidney insufficiency. Factors were analyzed in groups with the use of Student t and chi-square tests, Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multifactorial ANOVA. RESULTS Basic statistical analysis revealed no significance between long-term and short-term survival groups in HLA mismatches, recipient sex, or sex compatibility. There was a very significant difference in CIT. ANOVA revealed no statistical difference between groups in recipient sex, sex compatibility, or recipient disease. There were more patients in the group with long-term survival with lower PRA. There were more women in the group with long-term survival who received kidneys from men. Multifactorial analysis revealed no interactions or independent influence of the selected factors. CONCLUSIONS CIT was a strong independent factor influencing graft survival. Recipient sex and cause of kidney insufficiency seemed to have no impact. Lower PRA was positively correlated with long-term survival. Women who received kidneys from men lived longer with functioning grafts.

Abstract
Spectral lines are among the most powerful signatures for dark matter (DM) annihilation searches in very-high-energy γ rays. The central region of the Milky Way halo is one of the most promising targets given its large amount of DM and proximity to Earth. We report on a search for a monoenergetic spectral line from self-annihilations of DM particles in the energy range from 300 GeV to 70 TeV using a two-dimensional maximum likelihood method taking advantage of both the spectral and spatial features of the signal versus background. The analysis makes use of Galactic center observations accumulated over ten years (2004-2014) with the H.E.S.S. array of ground-based Cherenkov telescopes. No significant γ-ray excess above the background is found. We derive upper limits on the annihilation cross section ⟨σv⟩ for monoenergetic DM lines at the level of 4×10^{-28} cm^{3} s^{-1} at 1 TeV, assuming an Einasto DM profile for the Milky Way halo. For a DM mass of 1 TeV, they improve over the previous ones by a factor of 6. The present constraints are the strongest obtained so far for DM particles in the mass range 300 GeV-70 TeV. Ground-based γ-ray observations have reached sufficient sensitivity to explore relevant velocity-averaged cross sections for DM annihilation into two γ-ray photons at the level expected from the thermal relic density for TeV DM particles.

Abstract
Gut microbiota is important for maintaining body weight. Modulation of gut microbiota by probiotics may result in weight loss and thus help in obesity treatment. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus on weight loss and/or fat mass in overweight adults. A search was performed on the Medline (PubMed) and Scopus electronic databases using the search terms: 'probiotics', 'Lactobacillus, 'obesity', 'body weight changes', 'weight loss', 'overweight', 'abdominal obesity', 'body composition', 'body weight', 'body fat' and 'fat mass'. In the total were found 1567 articles, but only 14 were included in this systematic review. Of these nine showed decreased body weight and/or body fat, three did not find effect and two showed weight gain. Results suggest that the beneficial effects are strain dependent. It can highlight that Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus when combined with a hypocaloric diet, L. plantarum with Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus amylovorus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei with phenolic compounds, and multiple species of Lactobacillus.

Abstract
Cytokines play an important role in the immune response. The calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine CsA, tacrolimus TAC) widely used after renal transplantation to prevent allograft rejection are immunosuppressive drugs suppressing the production of cytokines. These drugs are characterized by interindividual variability and require monitoring their blood concentrations to predict their optimal dosage. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the correlation between therapeutic effects of immunosuppressants and the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-308G>A polymorphism in renal transplant patients. A total of 412 patients receiving TAC and CsA were included in the study. Genotype frequencies were determined using the real-time PCR method. Patients with the GG genotype received higher doses of TAC as compared to carriers of the GA genotype (5.24 mg versus 3.35 mg) and had lower mean drug concentration in blood (5.86 ng/ml versus 6.92 ng/ml). Similar results were also obtained for CsA (GG: 185.33 mg versus GA: 153.30 mg, P < 0.05). The comparison of the TNF-α-308G>A polymorphism with the biochemical parameters did not reveal a potential risk for transplant rejection. These results indicate that the TNF-α-308G>A polymorphism may influence the dosage of immunosuppressive drugs in patients after transplantation as far as individualization of drug therapy is concerned.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A search for dark matter linelike signals iss performed in the vicinity of the Galactic Center by the H.E.S.S. experiment on observational data taken in 2014. An unbinned likelihood analysis iss developed to improve the sensitivity to linelike signals. The upgraded analysis along with newer data extend the energy coverage of the previous measurement down to 100 GeV. The 18 h of data collected with the H.E.S.S. array allow one to rule out at 95% C.L. the presence of a 130 GeV line (at l=-1.5°, b=0° and for a dark matter profile centered at this location) previously reported in Fermi-LAT data. This new analysis overlaps significantly in energy with previous Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. RESULTS No significant excess associated with dark matter annihilations was found in the energy range of 100 GeV to 2 TeV and upper limits on the gamma-ray flux and the velocity weighted annihilation cross section are derived adopting an Einasto dark matter halo profile. Expected limits for present and future large statistics H.E.S.S. observations are also given.

Abstract
The inner region of the Milky Way halo harbors a large amount of dark matter (DM). Given its proximity, it is one of the most promising targets to look for DM. We report on a search for the annihilations of DM particles using γ-ray observations towards the inner 300 pc of the Milky Way, with the H.E.S.S. array of ground-based Cherenkov telescopes. The analysis is based on a 2D maximum likelihood method using Galactic Center (GC) data accumulated by H.E.S.S. over the last 10 years (2004-2014), and does not show any significant γ-ray signal above background. Assuming Einasto and Navarro-Frenk-White DM density profiles at the GC, we derive upper limits on the annihilation cross section ⟨σv⟩. These constraints are the strongest obtained so far in the TeV DM mass range and improve upon previous limits by a factor 5. For the Einasto profile, the constraints reach ⟨σv⟩ values of 6×10^{-26} cm^{3} s^{-1} in the W^{+}W^{-} channel for a DM particle mass of 1.5 TeV, and 2×10^{-26} cm^{3} s^{-1} in the τ^{+}τ^{-} channel for a 1 TeV mass. For the first time, ground-based γ-ray observations have reached sufficient sensitivity to probe ⟨σv⟩ values expected from the thermal relic density for TeV DM particles.

Abstract
A role for the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cancer progression is irrefutable and our laboratory has been at the forefront of this field providing evidence for both tumor suppressive and oncogenic roles of the TME. The PDGF pathway is an exemplar for the study of tumor-stroma interaction as PDGF receptors (PDGFR) are frequently expressed in the fibroblasts and pericytes within the tumor-associated stroma of epithelial tumors including breast cancer. In contrast, PDGF ligands are expressed by the epithelial tumor cells themselves. However, beyond a few descriptive studies, the role of interactive PDGFRβ signaling in the TME during breast cancer initiation, progression and metastases is not understood. This can be attributed in part to limited in vivo models to study the complex TME, especially for breast cancer associated metastases. To overcome this limitation, we have established a transgenic knock-in mouse model that expresses constitutively active PDGFRβ in the stroma of the mammary gland as well in the lung and the brain, two common sites of metastatic breast cancer dissemination. We have found that these mice develop mammary gland hyperplasia highlighting the importance of PDGFRβ in the TME in driving mammary epithelial cell growth. To test whether activation of mutant PDGFRβ in either the lung or the brain increases metastatic growth at either site, two experimental metastases assays were performed: (1) tail vein and (2) intracranial injections to test for lung and brain metastatic outgrowth, respectively. Tail vein injection of the non-metastatic murine mammary cancer cell line DB7 cells led to pronounced lung metastases in PDGFRβ knock-in mice in less than 4 weeks. No macrometastases were seen in the control at this same time point. Similar to the surge in lung metastasis, intracranial injection of DB7 cells led to an increase in tumor growth in brains of the mutant versus wild type controls, revealing an important role for PDGFRβ signaling in the breast cancer metastatic microenvironment. In addition, knockdown of PDGF-B in mammary cancer cells represses intracranial growth in wild type animals. Combined these data support a role for PDGFRβ signaling in the breast cancer metastatic microenvironment. Ongoing investigation is aimed to delineate how activated PDGF-B to PDGFRβ signaling primes the metastatic niche.

Abstract
Bone marrow (BM) CD34+ cells have the ability to secrete growth factors, cytokines, and chemotactic factors. We sought to better characterize this population and to investigate whether human BM CD34+ cells express neurotrophins (NTs) and their relevant receptors. We also compared their expression levels with BM nucleated cells (NCs). BM CD34+ cells were evaluated with respect to the expression levels of neurotrophins using qRT-PCR, immunofluorescent staining, and Western blotting. Next, the expression of specific (TrkA, TrkB, TrkC) and non-specific (p75NTR) neurotrophin receptors was detected by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescent staining in BM CD34+ cells. Using qRT- PCR, we show that even in the absence of inducing factors, CD34+ cells spontaneously express neurotrophins such as NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4. In addition, the NT expression levels in BM CD34+ cells are considerably higher than in NCs. Furthermore, we confirmed intracellular NT expression in BM CD34+ cells at the protein level using immunofluorescent staining and Western blotting. Using qRT-PCR, we found that immunomagnetically separated BM CD34+ cells spontaneously express high-affinity neurotrophin receptors (TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC) and the low-affinity receptor p75NTR at higher levels than NCs. Immunomagnetic CD34+ cell separation enables for the rapid and gentle sorting of stem/progenitor cells (SPCs) to prepare specific cell types for use in research and clinical applications. Our study suggests that BM CD34+ cells have the potential to support trophic factors for neural tissue and could contribute towards the protection and regeneration of neural cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory mediators play an important role in kidney graft outcome. The cytokine and chemokine gene polymorphisms are associated with variable production, activity, expression, or ligand-receptor affinity. Genetic variation in the DNA sequence of the interleukin 12B (IL12B), interleukin 16 (IL16), and interleukin 18 (IL18) genes may lead to altered cytokine production and activity. These variations can lead to changes in individual patient outcomes after kidney transplantation. It is known that polymorphisms of interleukins have an influence on inflammatory diseases, eg, Crohn's disease, diabetes, and asthma. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between IL12B, IL16, and IL18 gene polymorphisms with delayed graft function (DGF), acute rejection episodes (AR), and chronic rejection episodes (CR). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 267 (38.6% women, 61.4% men) recipients were included in the study. Cadaveric kidney transplantations were performed at the Department of General Surgery and Transplantation. Polymerase chain reaction was used to determine gene polymorphisms of IL12B (rs3212227), IL16 (4778889), and IL18 (rs1946518, rs187238) in 2 mL of serum. Statistical significance (P < .05) was analyzed by logit regression, ANOVA and odds ratio (OR) of χ(2) with Yates correction (95% confidence interval). RESULTS Regression analysis revealed no significance between AR/DGF/CR and IL-2B, IL16, IL18rs1946518, and IL18-rs187238 (P > .05). The CR group, AA vs CC genotype of IL18 (rs1946518), had an OR = 2.35 (P = .04). AR and DGF groups had no significance in OR. CONCLUSIONS There was no statistical significance between IL12B, IL16, and IL18 (rs187238) gene polymorphisms and kidney graft outcome after transplantation. Presence of AA genotype (IL18-rs1946518) is connected with a 2.35 times higher risk of CR occurrence.

Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancer [BC] is one of the leading causes of brain metastases. The 2 year survival rate of patients with breast cancer brain metastases [BM] is less than 2%. Oncolytic viruses exploit the aberrant molecular and genetic pathways found in cancer cells to selectively replicate in and destroy tumors while sparing normal tissues. Here, we demonstrate the oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus [HSV-1], 34.5ENVE, can specifically target and destroy BC brain metastases. The 34.5ENVE virus expresses anti-angiogenic Vstat120 and its replication is transcriptionally driven by the cancer specific promoter Nestin. Vstat120 expression is reduced in brain, renal, and gastric cancers, however its expression status in BC is not known. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed a 52% reduction in Vstat120 expression in invasive ductal breast carcinomas [n=69] compared to normal breast tissue [n=389; P<0.0001]. Reduced Vstat120 expression was also associated with decreased disease free survival in BC patients [n=324; P<0.03]. An examination of Vstat120 expression in 50 breast cancer cell lines from the Neve et al dataset showed Vstat120 mRNA levels were reduced in 38% of BC cell lines compared to the MCF-10A epithelial cell line [19 of 50 cell lines]. These analyses suggested BC patients may benefit from the re-expression of anti-angiogenic Vstat120. Nestin is up-regulated in several metastatic cancers, and its expression correlates with reduced survival in BC patients. In a cohort of 166 patients stratified by median Nestin expression, we observed Nestin to be significantly associated with an increased incidence of brain and lung metastases [n=164; P<0.02]. Additional analysis of the Neve et al. microarray dataset showed Nestin was upregulated in 100% of the BC cell lines examined [50 of 50]. These results suggest that Nestin expression may be a strong therapeutic target for BC. 34.5ENVE was cytotoxic to human BC cells of varying subtypes in vitro including the HER2+ and triple negative BCs known to frequently metastasize to the brain. Since 34.5ENVE replication is driven by a Nestin promoter, we compared the cytotoxicity of 34.5ENVE with a similar virus lacking Nestin driven ICP34.5 expression. We observed a 54.14% and 24.44% increase in killing in the MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines in the Nestin-driven 34.5ENVE virus as compared to a virus lacking ICP34.5, respectively [P<0.001]. This is the first study to specifically use Nestin expression to target BC. To test the therapeutic efficacy of 34.5ENVE against BM in vivo, we created a novel, immune competent BC BM model using Met-1 and DB-7 murine BC cell lines. Intracranial implantation of these cells resulted in tumors which recapitulated the human BM tumor biology. Treatment of mice with established Met-1 BM tumors with a single, intratumoral dose of 34.5ENVE resulted in significant tumor regression [via MRI] and increased survival. Similarly, mice bearing intracranial DB-7 tumors treated with a single dose of 34.5ENVE showed a doubling of median survival compared to control treated mice [median survival 17 days vs 34 days, respectively; P<0.0004]. The results of these studies warrant further investigation of oncolytic 34.5ENVE viral therapy to treat established BC brain metastases.

Abstract
An annihilation signal of dark matter is searched for from the central region of the Milky Way. Data acquired in dedicated on-off observations of the Galactic center region with H.E.S.S. are analyzed for this purpose. No significant signal is found in a total of ∼9 h of on-off observations. Upper limits on the velocity averaged cross section, ⟨σv⟩, for the annihilation of dark matter particles with masses in the range of ∼300 GeV to ∼10 TeV are derived. In contrast to previous constraints derived from observations of the Galactic center region, the constraints that are derived here apply also under the assumption of a central core of constant dark matter density around the center of the Galaxy. Values of ⟨σv⟩ that are larger than 3×10^{-24} cm^{3}/s are excluded for dark matter particles with masses between ∼1 and ∼4 TeV at 95% C.L. if the radius of the central dark matter density core does not exceed 500 pc. This is the strongest constraint that is derived on ⟨σv⟩ for annihilating TeV mass dark matter without the assumption of a centrally cusped dark matter density distribution in the search region.

Abstract
RAGE is a multifunctional receptor implicated in diverse processes including inflammation and cancer. In this study, we report that RAGE expression is upregulated widely in aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, both in primary tumors and in lymph node metastases. In evaluating the functional contributions of RAGE in breast cancer, we found that RAGE-deficient mice displayed a reduced propensity for breast tumor growth. In an established model of lung metastasis, systemic blockade by injection of a RAGE neutralizing antibody inhibited metastasis development. Mechanistic investigations revealed that RAGE bound to the proinflammatory ligand S100A7 and mediated its ability to activate ERK, NF-κB, and cell migration. In an S100A7 transgenic mouse model of breast cancer (mS100a7a15 mice), administration of either RAGE neutralizing antibody or soluble RAGE was sufficient to inhibit tumor progression and metastasis. In this model, we found that RAGE/S100A7 conditioned the tumor microenvironment by driving the recruitment of MMP9-positive tumor-associated macrophages. Overall, our results highlight RAGE as a candidate biomarker for TNBCs, and they reveal a functional role for RAGE/S100A7 signaling in linking inflammation to aggressive breast cancer development.

Abstract
Definitive diagnostics and strict procedures during kidney donor qualification are required. Nowadays, precise and accurate imaging techniques are at hand for every diagnostician. However, many studies have described intraoperative occurrence of horseshoe kidney. Although the harvesting procedure in the case of horseshoe kidney is not technically difficult, graft separation for successful renal transplantation is a challenge. The complex anatomy of malformed organs causes issues during kidney separation. This procedure may lead to damage of the collecting urinary system as well as vascularization damage. Separate graft transplantation is probable when a thin isthmus in a horseshoe kidney is present. Otherwise, poor graft function may occur. We present a technique for horseshoe kidney separation with the use of methylene blue for vascularization determination. The above-mentioned procedure was performed with the methylene blue solution dose injected into a single renal graft artery. Even with the malformed organ's thick isthmus, the exact incision line was identified, exposing vascular perfusion asymmetry and allowing precise renal graft separation.

Abstract
RATIONALE Myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation determines vascular contractile status. In addition to the classic Ca²⁺-dependent MLC kinase (MLCK), another unidentified kinase(s) also contributes to MLC phosphorylation in living cells. Inhibitor κB kinase 2 (IKK2)-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts demonstrate abnormal morphology and migration, suggesting that IKK2 may be involved in MLC phosphorylation. OBJECTIVE Therefore, we tested whether IKK2 is an MLCK in living cells and the role of IKK2 in mediating vasoconstriction and blood pressure regulation. METHODS AND RESULTS In the present study, we showed that recombinant IKK2-phosphorylated MLC and intact myosin in vitro, and the kinetic parameters were comparable with those of the classic MLCK. Overexpression of IKK2 increased cellular MLC phosphorylation level, and pharmacological inhibition of IKK2 markedly decreased vascular smooth muscle cell MLC phosphorylation, suggesting that IKK2 is an MLCK in living cells. IKK2 inhibitors dose- and time-dependently attenuated vasoconstriction elicited by diverse agonists, suggesting the physiological importance of IKK2 as an MLCK. Vascular smooth muscle cell-specific IKK2-deficient mice had decreased aortic contractile responses, and reduced hypertensive responses to several vasoconstrictors, compared with wild-type mice, confirming the physiological importance of IKK2 as an MLCK. CONCLUSIONS Our data provide a novel mechanism whereby IKK2 regulates MLC phosphorylation as an MLCK and, thus, vascular function and blood pressure.
