To the Editor:. Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related disease is a relatively new fibroinflammatory systemic condition of unknown etiology. It is usually associated with elevated serum IgG4 concentrations1. Among the disease-initiating mechanisms, host genetic factors are thought to be important, but there is a paucity of genetic studies and to date only a few probable susceptibility factors have been described1. Our aim is to spur further genetic research by postulating Ig GM allotypes - highly polymorphic hereditary antigenic determinants expressed on γ chains - as possible risk factors for IgG4-related disease. GM (IgG marker) allotypes are encoded by 3 very closely linked genes on chromosome 14q32. They are localized on the constant region of γ1, γ2, and γ3 chains2. Ig γ4 chains do not express subclass-specific unique allotypes, but they do express isoallotypes - determinants that behave as alleles in one IgG subclass (allotypes) but are also expressed in all molecules of at least one other ...

The aim of this paper is to review the effects of negative childhood experiences on the development and course of bipolar disorder (BD) and to discuss the involved mechanisms. The negative childhood experiences that may play a role in BD are critical or traumatic events including all kinds of abuse, loss of a parent or parents resulting from death, suicide, separation, divorce or prolonged separation. Previous studies indicate that in BD patients negative childhood events are more frequent than in control group. In BD patients these events are associated with an earlier onset and more severe course of the illness, including more frequent relapses, suicidal behavior, substance abuse and somatic diseases. This paper presents the possibility of the specific impact of individual events on the clinical outcome of BD. Mechanisms explaining the impact of negative childhood events on the development and course of BD include the interaction between biological predisposition and stress factors, the ...

I wanted so badly to just keep moving. My arms and legs began to tingle with those pin-prick like sensations you get when they fall asleep; I was losing all feeling and was actually welcoming the numbness. On the other side of the flyover, the massive city buildings suddenly became so near and for a few minutes, the wind didnt seem so strong. I saw the 41km marker and then like an angel descending from above; George Hubbard appeared at my side and began to run alongside of me. He told me I was doing great and said my time was about 2:44 something. He said I would definitely get under 2:50 and that somehow convinced me that it was true. I wanted so badly for him to stay by my side and guide me to the finish but I didnt have the energy to say so. I told him thanks and just kept moving. Shortly after, a man on a bike was heading toward me and told me that it would all be over soon. I think I tried to smile. I went through a final barrage of supporters who yelled my name louder than ever ...

Six chicken 7S immunoglobulin (Ig) allotypic specificities were demonstrated with antisera produced in highly inbred chickens. A radioimmunoassay which utilized intact, radiolabeled 7S Ig alloantigens was developed, and was used for the structural and genetic analysis of these specificities. The binding of dinitrophenylated alloantiserum (DAA) with radiolabeled alloantigen was demonstrated by the addition of rabbit anti-dinitrophenyl antiserum followed by precipitation of complexes with sheep anti-rabbit γ-globulin antiserum. Binding inhibition assays with the DAA method detected allotypes on 2 to 5 ng of 7S Ig alloantigen. Structural analyses of the six allotypic specificities were performed by direct binding and binding inhibition analysis with the DAA assay. Specificities CS-1.1 and CS-1.2 were present on papain-produced Fab fragments and isolated 7S Ig heavy (H) chains; but not on light (L) chains, Fc fragments, or 17S Ig. For both specificities H chains reassociated with L chains were ...

Lynch syndrome (LS), former known as Hereditary Non Polyposis Colorectal cancer (HNPCC), accounts for 3-5% of all colorectal cancers (CRC) and is inherited in an autossomal dominant fashion. This syndrome is characterized by early CRC onset, high incidence of tumors in the ascending colon, excess of synchronous and metachronous tumors, and accelerated transition adenoma-carcinoma (2-3 years). Nowadays, LS is regarded of patients who carry deleterious germline mutations in one of the five Mismatch repair genes, such as MutL homolog 1 (MLH1), MutS homolog 2 (MSH2), MutS homolog 6 (MSH6), post-meiotic segregation increased 1 (PMS1) or post-meiotic segregation increased 2 (PMS2). In order to characterize Brazilian patients suspect for LS, we assessed the frequency of germline point mutations in MSH6, PMS1 and PMS2 in patients negative for point mutations in MLH1 and MSH2 by capillary sequencing. We also assessed chromosomal deletions in MLH1 and MSH2 and MSH6 generating a complete characterization ...

RESULTS: The suPAR levels were elevated in patients with active TB compared to TB-negative individuals (P < 0.001). suPAR levels were highest in patients positive for TB on direct microscopy (n = 84, median suPAR 3.17 ng/ml, P < 0.001), followed by patients negative on direct microscopy but culture positive (n = 35, median suPAR 2.41 ng/ml, P = 0.005) and by patients diagnosed on clinical grounds (n = 63, median suPAR 2.13 ng/ml, P = 0.06) compared to 64 TB-negative individuals (median suPAR 1.73 ng/ml). During the 8-month treatment period, 23 TB cases died. In a multivariate Cox model controlling for HIV status, age, sex, CD4 count and type of TB diagnosis, the mortality increase per ng suPAR was 1.25 (95%CI 1.12-1.40). After treatment, suPAR levels had decreased to the levels of TB-negative individuals ...

Genetically controlled intraspecific differences between immunoglobulins (allotypes) provide valuable markers for the study of the quantitative expression of allelic and nonallelic alternative forms of immunoglobulins (Igs) during the normal development of rabbits. Heterozygous rabbits are mosaics of cells expressing different Ig-genes since fully differentiated productive cells generally secrete only one of alternative forms of Ig. The proportions of cells that differentiate to produce allelic forms of immunoglobulins during normal development depend on the particular heterozygous genotype. The normal proportions of some markers can be drastically altered if the differentiation of lymphoid cells in the young rabbit occurs in the milieu of antibody specific for one form (allotype suppression). An initiating step in the establishment of persistent allotype suppression is probably the interaction of antiallotype antibody with allotype-bearing receptors on lymphoid cell surfaces, but the mechanism ...

Phosphorylation of estrogen receptor alpha at serine 305 (ER alpha S305-P) by protein kinase A (PKA) or p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) has experimentally been associated with tamoxifen sensitivity. Here, we investigated the clinical application of this knowledge to predict tamoxifen resistance in ER-positive breast cancer patients. Using immunohistochemistry, a score including PAK1 and co-expression of PKA and ER alpha S305-P (PKA/ER alpha S305-P) was developed on a training set consisting of 103 patients treated with tamoxifen for metastatic disease, and validated on 231 patients randomized between adjuvant tamoxifen or no treatment. In the training set, PAK1 levels were associated with tumor progression after tamoxifen (HR 1.57, 95% CI 0.99-2.48), as was co-expression of PKA and ER alpha S305-P (HR 2.00, 95% CI 1.14-3.52). In the validation set, a significant tamoxifen benefit was found among the 73% patients negative for PAK1 and PKA/ER alpha S305-P (HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.34-0.87), while others ...

Migraine is associated with stroke-like episodes in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like syndrome (MELAS). Moreover, abnormalities of oxidative phosphorylation are also reported in migraine. We studied two maternal lineages with MELAS and chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) affected probands carrying the 3243 A,G tRNA(Leu) (MELAS) mutation, remarkable for a high frequency of subjects suffering only migraine. Thus, migraine could be a monosymptomatic expression of the MELAS mutation. We assessed the 3243 A,G tRNA(Leu) mutational load in skeletal muscle and other somatic tissues from the migraine-only subjects, as well as lactic acid levels after exercise. All migraine-only subjects did not carry the MELAS mutation. Muscle biopsy showed mild mitochondrial abnormalities in the non-mutant, migraine-only subjects and, occasionally, abnormal lactic acid. Clear features of mitochondrial myopathy and pathological lactic acid characterised the subjects carrying ...

Persistent infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) often causes chronic hepatitis, and then shows a high rate of progression to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. To clarify the mechanism of the persistent HCV infection is considered to be important for the discovery of new target(s) for the development of anti-HCV strategies. In the present study, we found that the expression level of annexin A1 (ANXA1) in human hepatoma cell line Li23-derived D7 cells was remarkably lower than that in parental Li23 cells, whereas the susceptibility of D7 cells to HCV infection was much higher than that of Li23 cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that ANXA1 negatively regulates persistent HCV infection through the inhibition of viral RNA replication. The results revealed that HCV production was significantly inhibited without a concomitant reduction in the amount of lipid droplets in the D7 cells stably expressing exogenous ANXA1. Further, we demonstrated that ANXA1 negatively regulated the step of ...

Results miRNA profiling revealed 10 miRNAs to be differentially expressed between the groups; 2 in pSS vs HC, 7 in nSS vs HC and 1 in both pSS and nSS vs HC. One miRNA was excluded from further analysis after technical validation by single TaqMan microRNA Assay. The other 9 miRNAs were measured in the validation cohort. Surprisingly, 2 miRNAs were validated to be increased in the nSS group as compared to HC (snRNA-U6 and miR-661). Using the data from both cohorts combined, the levels of snRNA-U6 and miR-661 was associated with serum Ig and C4 in the nSS group, but also in the pSS group. This prompted us to investigate miRNA expression in subgroups of pSS patients. snRNA-U6 and miR-661 levels are significantly increased compared to HC in pSS patients negative for autoantibodies. In autoantibody positive pSS patients, levels of snRNA-U6 and miR-661 are comparable to those found in HC and both miRNAs are significantly increased in autoantibody negative patients as compared to autoantibody positive ...

Abstract A study was done to test the effectiveness of fecal occult blood as a screening test for invasive bacterial pathogens and as a substitute for the fecal leukocyte examination in adult and pediatric cases of acute diarrhea. United States citizens studying in Mexico and Mexican children, both with acute diarrhea had their stools cultured, examined for fecal leukocytes, and tested for occult blood. Using culture results as the criterion standard for detection of bacterial agents, and fecal leukocytes for diarrhea associated with diffuse colonic inflammation, occult blood was tested for its sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value using 2 × 2 tables. Analysis of the data found that occult blood negative samples were reliable indicators of a lack of invasive bacteria in both adult and pediatric patients (negative predictive values of 87% and 96%, respectively). Positive results for either test were not reliably predictive as indicators of invasive bacteria among adults. A positive occult blood

Heterozygous rabbits of genotype a1n81f73g74/a2n82f71g75 were suppressed at birth for the VH region al allotype. At 8 weeks of age, quantitative analysis of serum IgG, IgM, and IgA molecules showed that the VHal specificity was effectively suppressed in the three classes of Ig and that the suppression was extended to the CH region n81 specificity on µ-chains as well as to the CH region f73 and g74 specificities on αf and αg chains. At 26 weeks of age, analysis of serum IgG and IgM molecules showed that a1 was still suppressed to approximately the same extent in both Ig classes and the suppression was still extended to the CH region n81 specificity. However, at 26 weeks, the percentage of molecules with a1 specificity had doubled among serum and colostral IgA molecules and this increase was extended to the CH region f73 and g74 specificities. Thus, the suppressed allotypes reappeared first among IgA molecules. Our data are consistent with a regulatory mechanism which controls and synchronizes ...

Quezon City, Philippines - The Asian Farmers Conference on Golden Rice successfully concluded with the formation of an Asia-wide alliance of farmers and NGOs which vowed to strengthen the campaign against the field trials and commercialization of Golden Rice. Farmers and NGOs from India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Japan joined the network along with farmers groups from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao in the Philippines.. Issues surrounding the controversial Golden Rice were lively discussed during the three-day conference, such as its impacts on health, biodiversity and the environment. Representatives from the various countries shared their experiences with GMOs - like the Philippines, they have several GM crops propagated, field tested or researched without proper safety precaution and participative consultation from stakeholders. Farmers and consumers in these countries have likewise launched campaigns to stop the spread of GMOs.. The Stop Golden Rice farmers network aims ...

ABSTRACT: This review summarizes the previous and current literature on the immunogenetics of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and updates the research progress that has been made over the past decade. A substantial part of the genetic risk for developing adult- and juvenile-onset IIM lies within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), and a tight relationship exists between individual human leukocyte antigen alleles and specific serological subtypes, which in turn dictate clinical disease phenotypes. Multiple genetic regions outside of the MHC are increasingly being identified in conferring IIM disease susceptibility. We are still challenged with the task of studying a serologically and clinically heterogeneous disorder that is rarer by orders of magnitude than the likes of rheumatoid arthritis. An ongoing and internationally coordinated IIM genome-wide association study may provide further insights into IIM immunogenetics. ...

Myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) are found in almost half the patients with an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Several clinical and epidemiological studies have suggested that MSAs are associated with specific clinical characteristics. Some of these associations are well-defined and are of clinical significance ( eg, anti-Jo-1 and the anti-synthetase syndrome), others are less well established and can cause unnecessary anxiety for both patients and physicians ( eg, anti-SRP and cardiac involvement). In this review, an overview is given of the various MSAs, their biochemical background, their clinical usefulness, and the promises they hold for a better understanding of IIM ...

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy is a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles). Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy usually appears in adults between ages 40 and 60 or in children between ages 5 and 15, though it can occur at any age.The primary symptom of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy is muscle weakness, which develops gradually over a period of weeks to months or even years. Other symptoms include joint pain and general tiredness (fatigue).There are several forms of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, including polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and sporadic inclusion body myositis.Polymyositis and dermatomyositis involve weakness of the muscles closest to the center of the body (proximal muscles), such as the muscles of the hips and thighs, upper arms, and neck. People with these forms of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy may find it difficult to climb stairs, get up from a seated position, or lift items above their head. In some cases, ...

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection causes liver disease, affecting approximately 200 million people worldwide. In most individuals acute HCV infection is asymptomatic prior to the development of persistent infection in approximately 80% of infected individuals leading to life-long infection. This results in active inflammation, fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver, in some cases developing into hepatocellular carcinoma. In the remaining 20% of infected patients, spontaneous clearance of the virus is believed to be due to a broad, multi-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell response. Despite the advent of new direct acting antivirals which cure a high proportion of treated patients, many patients will not be cured or will not be treated due to the high cost of therapy. Therefore it is important to investigate immunotherapeutic strategies to combat persistent HCV infection. This thesis focuses primarily on immunotherapeutic methods involving the use of dendritic cells (DC), natural immune sentinels, to illicit an HCV

Mobility on the roads plays an important role in the economic and societal development of Switzerland. At the same time, it is also responsible for about one third of all end-user energy consumption in the country and nearly 40% of all CO2 emissions. Steps to reduce these values were therefore introduced as part of the energy, CO2, and mineral-oil taxation legislation framework. These measures include energy labels and target CO2 emission levels for private cars, as well as relief from the mineral-oil duty for renewable fuels.. The CO2 legislation is of particular significance for the automobile industry, as non-compliance with the stipulated target emissions will result in punitive levels of duty being applied. Currently, if target emission values are exceeded by more than 3 gm/km of CO2 then a surcharge of CHF 142.5 per gm is levied. This is equivalent to paying CHF 600 per tonne of CO2 over the operating lifetime of the vehicle, assumed to be 225,000km (based on 15 years at 15,000 km ...

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is a group of autoimmune diseases with systemic myositis which may involve the myocardium. Cardiac involvement in IIM, although often subclinical, may mimic clinical manifestations of acute viral myocarditis (AVM). Our aim was to investigate the usefulness of the combined analysis of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 and T2 mapping parameters measured both in the myocardium and in the thoracic skeletal muscles to differentiate AVM from IIM cardiac involvement. Sixty subjects were included in this retrospective study (36 male, age 45 ± 16 years): twenty patients with AVM, twenty patients with IIM and cardiac involvement and twenty healthy controls. Study participants underwent CMR imaging with modified Look-Locker inversion-recovery (MOLLI) T1 mapping and 3-point balanced steady-state-free precession T2 mapping. Relaxation times were quantified after endocardial and epicardial delineation on basal and medial short-axis slices, as well as in different

Preparations of IgG F(ab′)2 fragments from domestic rabbits (NZW), hares (JR), and cottontail rabbits (Cot) were compared by indirect radioimmunoassay inhibition techniques for a comparison of the interrelatedness of the antigenic determinants reacting with anti-NZW allotype antisera.. JR F(ab′)2 molecules that were reactive with anti-NZW allotype antisera did not inhibit a reaction of NZW molecules with anti-allotype antisera. In another inhibition system, unlabeled JR molecules inhibited a reaction between I*JR molecules and anti-NZW allotype antisera better than did the homologous unlabeled NZW molecules. A third genus (Cot) was used for comparison and the results of the study suggested that the reactions observed could be explained best by the presence of different numbers of antigenic determinant sites shared between the three species that are identified by anti-NZW allotype antisera.. The present data appear to favor the presence of a limited number of germ line genes coding for ...

Inflammatory myopathy (inflammatory muscle disease or myositis) is disease featuring weakness and inflammation of muscles and (in some types) muscle pain. The cause of much inflammatory myopathy is unknown (idiopathic), and such cases are classified according to their symptoms and signs and electromyography, MRI and laboratory findings. It can also be associated with underlying cancer. The main classes of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy are polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), and inclusion-body myositis (IBM). There are a number of known causes of myopathy, and it is only once these have been ruled out that a clinician will assign an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) syndrome to a case. The usual criteria for a diagnosis of PM are weakness in muscles of the head, neck, trunk, upper arms or upper legs; raised blood serum concentrations of some muscle enzymes such as creatine kinase; unhealthy muscle changes on electromyography; and biopsy findings of (i) muscle cell degeneration and ...

Skin prick tests are regarded as means to determine sensitization and should be interpreted in the light of clinical history, clinical picture and results of testing for specific IgE. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) [11], 10-50 allergen extracts are used for skin prick testing. The European guidelines propose a panel of 18 respiratory allergens of which, simultaneously, improved standardization is encouraged [12]. While skin prick testing in respiratory allergies is a reliable diagnostic tool, in food allergy more false positive results are seen on the one hand, while on the other hand over 95% of patients negative in skin prick tests with food do not present with immediate type symptoms [13]. The skin prick results should be compared to the positive control prick with histamine dihydrochloride 10 mg/ml [14]. The calculation of a histamine equivalent prick -index (HEP) area may be helpful, where the allergen prick size is correlated to the size of the ...

The patients were subgrouped according to the presence or absence of polymyalgia rheumatica and severe ischaemic complications (visual loss and/or cerebrovascular accidents).. Results: The distribution of the MPO-G/A genotype differed significantly between patients with GCA and the controls (pcorr = 0.003). Allele G was significantly more frequent in patients with GCA than in the controls (pcorr = 0.0002, OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.4 to 2.9). Homozygosity for the G allele was significantly more frequent in patients with GCA than in controls (pcorr = 0.0002, OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.4 ...

There is very little data available regarding health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in rare diseases, including idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). To look at this issue further, abstract 207 (Friday Poster session) sought to investigate the magnitude of impairment in HRQoL, measured using the Medical Outcomes Trust Short Form-36 (SF-36), and the clinical correlates of physical HRQoL in early IIM.. Leclair and her colleagues at McGill University studied a group of patients inthe Inflammatory Myopathy Study cohort. Thirty-eight IIM patients were enrolled, the majority women with a mean disease duration of 1.3 +/- 1.5 years. Subtypes of IIM included dermatomyositis (43%), clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (19%), connective tissue disease-associated myositis (24%), polymyositis (11%) and cancer-associated myositis (3%). Subjects underwent standardized clinical histories, medical examinations, and self-administered questionnaires at time of entry. Multiple linear regression was used to ...

Suffered hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA clearance can be achieved in 8 to 12% of sufferers with persistent HCV infection treated with alpha interferon (IFN-) on the accepted dose of 3 MU 3 x weekly for six months and in regarding 25% of these receiving this treatment for a year. induced by adjustments in the web host environment likely caused by the IFN-induced improvement and post-IFN attenuation of neutralizing and perhaps cytotoxic reactions against HVR1. The rest of the patients got no apparent adjustments in HVR1 quasispecies main variations, suggesting collection of main pretreatment variations, however, many noticeable changes had been seen in other genomic regions. We conclude that IFN- administration and drawback alters the type of circulating HCV quasispecies profoundly, owing to deep adjustments in virus-host connections, in sufferers in whom suffered HCV RNA clearance does not occur. These visible adjustments are connected with deep modifications from the organic result of HCV-related ...

Classic dermatomyositis (DM) is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy that most commonly presents with progressive, symmetric proximal muscle weakness and a group of characteristic cutaneous findings. The cutaneous manifestations of DM may also develop

Variations in the ability of homogeneous antibodies to absorb group a allotype antisera suggest that these V H region allotypes comprise a spectrum of specificities. While no homogeneous antibody tested would completely absorb antisera to the group a specificities, the total IgG preparations from individual rabbits was capable of doing so, including preimmune IgG from the rabbits that produced the homogeneous antibodies. Differences in the serologic reactivities of homogeneous antibodies indicate that each possesses only a portion of the spectrum of the allotypic specificities expressed by the total IgG ...
