Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of TLR adaptor molecules, such as TRIF, MyD88, and TBK1 in the induction of iNOS and nitric oxide (NO) production in Pam2CSK4 and Pam3CSK4-treated mouse macrophages.Method
Mouse macrophage cell line (RAW264.7) was transfected with trif, myd88, and tbk1 siRNAs before stimulated with Pam2CSK4 and Pam3CSK4. The iNOS gene and protein expression were determined by RT-PCR and immunoblotting, respectively. The NO production was determined by Griess reaction assay.Results
The results showed that the induction of iNOS expression and NO production by Pam2CSK4 and Pam3CSK4 were diminished in tbk1 and myd88-depleted mouse macrophages but not trif-depleted cells.Conclusion
These results suggested that the TBK1 and MyD88 molecules were essential for the induction of iNOS expression and NO production by both Pam2CSK4 and Pam3CSK4 via TLR2 signaling.2.

Purpose of Review
Human genetic polymorphisms known to influence HIV acquisition and disease progression occur in Papua New Guinea (PNG). However, no genetic association study has been reported so far. In this article, we review research findings, with a view to stimulate genotype-to-phenotype research.Recent Findings
PNG, a country in Oceania, has a high prevalence of HIV and many sexually transmitted infections. While limited data is available from this country regarding the distribution of human genetic polymorphisms known to influence clinical outcomes of HIV/AIDS, genetic association studies are lacking. Our studies, in the past decade, have revealed that polymorphisms in chemokine receptor-ligand (CCR2-CCR5, CXCL12), innate immune (Toll-like receptor, β-defensin), and antiretroviral drug-metabolism enzyme (CYP2B6, UGT2B7) genes are prevalent in PNG.Summary
Although our results need to be validated in further studies, it is urgent to pursue large-scale, comprehensive genetic association studies that include these as well as additional genetic polymorphisms.6.

Background
Mutations in the genes encoding leptin (LEP), the leptin receptor (LEPR), and the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) are known to cause severe early-onset childhood obesity. The aim of the current study was to examine the prevalence of damaging LEP, LEPR, and MC4R mutations in Pakistani families having a recessive heritance of early-onset obesity.Methods
Using targeted resequencing, the presence of rare mutations in LEP, LEPR, and MC4R, was investigated in individuals from 25 families suspected of having autosomal recessive early-onset obesity. Segregation patterns of variants were assessed based on chip-based genotyping.Results
Homozygous LEPR variants were identified in two probands. One carried a deletion (c.3260AG) resulting in the frameshift mutation p.Ser1090Trpfs*6, and the second carried a substitution (c.2675C?>?G) resulting in the missense mutation p.Pro892Arg. Both mutations were located within regions of homozygosity shared only among affected individuals. Both probands displayed early-onset obesity, hyperphagia and diabetes. No mutations were found in LEP and MC4R.Conclusions
The current study highlights the implication of LEPR mutations in cases of severe early-onset obesity in consanguineous Pakistani families. Through targeted resequencing, we identified novel damaging mutations, and our approach may therefore be utilized in clinical testing or diagnosis of known forms of monogenic obesity with the aim of optimizing obesity treatment.7.

Background
The introduction of tobacco plain packaging legislation in Australia meant that all tobacco products were to be sold in plain dark-brown packaging with 75 % front-of-pack graphic health warnings and standardised font type and size for brand name and product variant. The change in the size and prominence of the warnings has been proposed as a reason for behaviour change in smokers in terms of increased intentions to quit and quit attempts.Purpose
The current research examined attitudes and beliefs of cigarette smokers toward the increased size and prominence of the warnings and effects on their behaviour.Method
Participants (N?=?160) completed open-ended responses to questions on beliefs, attitudes and responses to plain packaging. Responses were subjected to inductive thematic content analysis for key themes.Results
Four themes emerged from the analysis: emotional response to packaging, scepticism of health warnings, warnings and cessation behaviour, and avoidant coping behaviours. Participants reported increased negative emotional responses to the packaging and made specific reference to the graphic health warnings. Some participants attempted to discredit the messages. Others reported increased intentions to quit or quitting attempts. There were pervasive reports of avoidant responses including covering or hiding the warnings.Conclusion
Consistent with theories of illness perceptions and coping, current findings indicate that the larger, prominent graphic health warnings on plain-packaged tobacco products had pervasive effects on threat perceptions and subsequent behavioural responses. While some of the reported responses were adaptive (e.g. attempts to quit), others were maladaptive (e.g. avoiding the warnings).8.

Introduction
We investigated the role of topoisomerase mutations, increased level of the multidrug efflux pump AcrAB, and the plasmid-borne genes (qnr) in the fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistant avian Escherichia coli simultaneously.Material and method
Here, we used four FQs (ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, ofloxacin and pefloxacin) and eight clinical isolates of E. coli containing six fluoroquinolone-resistant and two fluoroquinolone- susceptible. PCR and direct sequencing methods were used to detect the role of regulator/ repressor gene (acrR).Objective
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of these resistance mechanisms for fluoroquinolone resistance.Result
The results showed that (i) all four fluoroquinolone- resistant isolates have topoisomerase mutation and plasmid borne genes qnrS and aac(6')-Ib; (ii) three FQ (enrofloxacin, ofloxacin and pefloxacin) resistant isolates harboring qnrS genes; (iii) two FQ (ciprofloxacin and pefloxacin) resistant isolates had topoisomerase mutation and plasmid borne gene qnrS; (iv) all fluoroquinolone susceptible were not harboring qnrS gene and topoisomerase mutation (v) All isolates were negative for qnrA and qnrB.Conclusion
We found that FQs resistance combination was correlated with synergistically contribution of these resistance mechanisms. Plasmid mediated resistance by qnrS was correlated to pefloxacin resistance but did not correlate to ofloxacin, enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin. This mechanism might be account for the pefloxacin resistance in avian E. coli.9.

Objective and design
Pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) in AIRmax mice homozygous for Slc11a1 R and S alleles was used to characterize the influence of Slc11a1 gene polymorphism on immune responses during disease manifestation. Previous reports demonstrated that the presence of the Slc11a1 S allele increased the incidence and severity of PIA in AIRmax SS , suggesting that this gene could interact with inflammatory loci to modulate PIA. We investigated the effects of Slc11a1 alleles on the activation of phagocytes during PIA.Treatment
Mice were injected intraperitoneally with two doses of 0.5 mL of mineral oil pristane at 60-day intervals. Arthritis development was accompanied for 180 days.Results
AIRmax SS mice showed differential peritoneal macrophage gene expression profiles during PIA, with higher expression and production of H2O2, NO, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and several chemokines. The presence of the Slc11a1 R allele, on the other hand, diminished the intensity of macrophage activation, restricting arthritis development.Conclusion
Our data demonstrated the fine-tuning roles of Slc11a1 alleles modulating macrophage activation, and consequent PIA susceptibility, in those mouse lines.10.

Background
In an integrated curriculum, multiple instructors take part in a course in the form of team teaching. Accordingly, medical schools strive to manage each course run by numerous instructors. As part of the curriculum management, course evaluation is conducted, but a single, retrospective course evaluation does not comprehensively capture student perception of classes by different instructors. This study aimed to demonstrate the need for individual class evaluation, and further to identify teaching characteristics that instructors need to keep in mind when preparing classes.Methods
From 2014 to 2015, students at one medical school left comments on evaluation forms after each class. Courses were also assessed after each course. Their comments were categorized by connotation (positive or negative) and by subject. Within each subject category, test scores were compared between positively and negatively mentioned classes. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed to test group differences in scores. The same method was applied to the course evaluation data.Results
Test results for course evaluation showed group difference only in the practice/participation category. However, test results for individual class evaluation showed group differences in six categories: difficulty, main points, attitude, media/contents, interest, and materials. That is, the test scores of classes positively mentioned in six domains were significantly higher than those of negatively mentioned classes.Conclusions
It was proved that individual class evaluation is needed to manage multi-instructor courses in integrated curricula of medical schools. Based on the students’ extensive feedback, we identified teaching characteristics statistically related to academic achievement. School authorities can utilize these findings to encourage instructors to develop effective teaching characteristics in class preparation.11.

Purpose
Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease is a rare clinical condition characterized by a predisposition to infectious diseases caused by poorly virulent mycobacteria. Other infections such as salmonellosis and candidiasis are also reported. The purpose of this article is to describe a young boy affected with various infectious diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, Salmonella sp, Klebsiella pneumonie, Citrobacter sp., and Candida sp, complicated with severe enteropathy and transient hypogammaglobulinemia.Methods
We reviewed medical records and performed flow cytometry staining for lymphocyte populations, lymphocyte proliferation in response to PHA, and intracellular IFN-γ production in T cell PHA blasts in the patient and a healthy control. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the genetic variants in the patient and relatives.Results
Genetic analysis revealed a bi-allelic mutation in IL12RB1 (C291Y) resulting in complete IL-12Rβ1 deficiency. Functional analysis demonstrated the lack of intracellular production of IFN-γ in CD3+ T lymphocytes from the patient in response to rhIL-12p70.Conclusions
To our knowledge, this is the third patient with MSMD due to IL-12Rβ1 deficiency complicated with enteropathy and hypogammaglobulinemia and the first case of this disease to be described in Colombia.12.

Background
Anagrelide is an orally active, quinazolone-derived, platelet-lowering agent that acts by blocking megakaryocyte maturation and polyploidization as well as proplatelet formation, and is currently indicated for second-line treatment of high-risk patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) in Europe. In recent years various clinical trials have confirmed the safety and efficacy of this drug in ET, with some also considering Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) mutational status, but have not confirmed the impact that the other driver mutations, i.e., calreticulin (CALR) and myeloproliferative leukemia virus (MPL), may have on the response to this therapy.Objective
To assess the impact of JAK2, MPL, CALR gene mutational status on response to anagrelide therapy in patients with ET treated at the Oncohematology Division, IRCCS Ca’ Granda–Maggiore Policlinico Hospital Foundation, Milan between 2004 and 2015.Methods
Among 213 ET patients who were diagnosed between January 1983 to November 2014, 21 consecutive cases who were started on anagrelide as a second-line therapy and received at least 1-year of treatment were included. Inclusion criteria were the availability of demographic, clinical, histological, and hematologic data at diagnosis, and at least one granulocyte DNA sample to assess the mutational status of the JAK2, MPL, and CALR genes.Results
The JAK2V617F mutation was detected in seven patients (33.3 %), CALR mutations were identified in another seven cases, and the remaining seven patients were defined as “triple-negative” (i.e., no JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutation). After a median anagrelide treatment duration of 4.6 years, 16 of 21 patients (76.2 %) achieved at least a partial platelet response: in particular, the hematological response rate was substantially comparable between JAK2-positive and “triple-negative” patients, whereas the five patients who did not achieve any platelet response all had CALR mutations.Conclusion
Although it needs to be confirmed with a larger number of ET patients treated with anagrelide, we suggest that mutational status should be considered carefully when deciding on the most appropriate therapy for each patient, mainly because anagrelide alone was not able to achieve an appropriate hematological response in CALR-mutated ET cases.13.

Background
Dwarfism is a common severe growth disorder, but the etiology is unclear in the majority of cases. Recombinant human growth hormone may be a treatment option, but it has limited efficacy. The currently known laboratory assays do not meet the precision requirements for clinical diagnosis. Here, we have constructed a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel of selected genes that are suspected to be associated with dwarfism for genetic screening.Methods
Genetic screening of 91 children with short stature of unknown etiology was performed with the help of the NGS panel. All the coding regions and exon-intron boundaries of 166 genes were included in the panel. To clarify the pathogenicity of these mutations, their clinical data were reviewed and analyzed.Results
The assay identified p.A72G, p.I282V, and p.P491S variants of the PTPN11 gene and a p.I437T variant of the SOS1 gene in 4 cases with Noonan syndrome. A frameshift mutation (p.D2407fs) of the ACAN gene was identified in a case of idiopathic short stature with moderately advanced bone age. A p.R904C variant of the COL2A1 gene was found in a patient, who was accordingly diagnosed with Stickler syndrome. Severe short stature without limb deformity was associated with a p.G11A variant of HOXD13. In addition, we evaluated evidence that a p.D401N variant of the COMP gene may cause multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.Conclusions
Our findings suggest that syndromes, particularly Noonan syndrome, may be overlooked due to atypical clinical features. This gene panel has been verified to be effective for the rapid screening of genetic etiologies associated with short stature and for guiding precision medicine-based clinical management.14.

Objective and design
An animal experiment was performed to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory effects of an alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) derivative, dihydrolipoyl histidinate zinc complex (DHLHZn) for acute lung injury (ALI) and to investigate the mechanism of action.Material
Rats were randomly divided into three experimental groups: control group (n = 17), DHLHZn(?) group (n = 11, ALI model rats), and DHLHZn(+) group (n = 12, ALI model rats treated by DHLHZn).Treatment
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS, 10 mg/kg) were administered intratracheally in the DHLHZn(?) group and the DHLHZn(+) group. For the DHLHZn(+) group, DHLHZn (100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 2 h prior to LPS administration.Methods
Four hours after LPS administration, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue were collected. The findings were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test.Results
Total number of cells, number of neutrophils and lymphocytes, levels of various inflammatory cytokines, and NF-kB p65 concentration of BALF were significantly lower in the DHLHZn(+) group than in the DHLHZn(?) group (p < 0.05). ALI pathology scores were significantly lower in the DHLHZn(+) group than in the DHLHZn(?) group (p < 0.001).Conclusions
Anti-inflammatory effects of DHLHZn for ALI were demonstrated by BALF and histopathological findings. The mechanism of action of DHLHZn was considered to be via inhibition of the NF-kB signaling pathway. DHLHZn is thus suggested to be a new prophylactic agent for ALI.15.

Background
Recently, two functional IL18 promoter variants, ?607C>A (rs1946518) and ?137G>C (rs187238), were associated with viral clearance in patients with hepatitis C. The present study focused on their relevance for treatment response.Methods
Seven hundred fifty-seven chronically infected European patients and 791 controls were enrolled in the study. IL18 genotyping was performed by allele-specific PCR. Liver histology was available in 67.9%.Results
Genotype and allele frequencies were equally distributed in patients and controls. No significant association with various disease characteristics was observed. However, when comparing patients with sustained virological response (SR) and non-SR, statistically significant associations were found for both variants (p?=?0.0416 and p?=?0.0274, respectively). In viral genotype 1, the ?607A allele was positively associated with treatment response (p?=?0.0190; OR 1.537; 95% CI, 1.072–2.205) and the ?137G allele with a higher rate of nonresponse (p?=?0.0302; OR 1.524; 95% CI, 1.040–2.233).Conclusions
The association of IL18 variants with treatment response in genotype 1 hepatitis C patients implies a predictive and modifying role of these genetic variants.16.
Background
Carissa opaca Stapf ex Hanes fruits is traditionally used in the treatment of asthma, hepatitis and microbial infections. The present study was arranged to investigate the antimicrobial, cytotoxic and antitumor activity of various fractions of C. opaca extract and its bioactive metabolites responsible for that activity.Methods
To characterize various fractions of C.opaca antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic and antitumor assays are used. Eight strains of bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Enterobactor aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Salmonella typhy, and Staphylococcus aureus and four strains of fungal viz: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium solani are used. Brine shrimps and potato dics are used for anticancer and antitumor potency of extract. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is utilized for determination of bioactive metabolites responsible for the activity.Results
HPLC chromatogram revealed the presence of orientin, isoquercetin, myricetin and apigenin. Various fractions of C. oapca showed significant antibacterial, antitumor and anticancer activity. In case of C. opaca fruit inhibition growth of Aspergillus niger was ranged between 23.2?±?1.36% to 43.3?±?2.39%, Aspergillus flavus ranged between 27.6?±?1.39% to 65.6?±?3.44%, Aspergillus fumigatus ranged between 13.2?±?1.00% to 52.4?±?1.54% and Fusarium solani ranged between 10.5?±?1.02% to 14.6?±?1.74%.Conclusion
It can be concluded that, various fractions of C.opaca are accessible source of ethno pharmacy as they are consumed in different areas of Pakistan with ultimate health compensations.17.

Background
The human leukemia cell line HL-60 is considered an alternative cell culture model to study neutrophil differentiation and migration. The aim of this study was to characterize the suitability of HL-60 cells differentiated to neutrophil-like cells (nHL-60) as substitute for blood-derived human neutrophils to investigate the interaction of neutrophils with Staphylococcus aureus.Methods
For this purpose, antimicrobial activity, bacterial uptake, production of reactive oxygen species and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) by nHL-60 cells were analyzed and compared to primary blood-derived neutrophils using Staphylococcus aureus as important human and animal pathogen.Results
Overall, the antimicrobial activities of nHL-60 cells were distinctly lower compared to blood-derived neutrophils. Furthermore, production of reactive oxygen species as well as NET formation was clearly impaired in nHL-60 cells.Conclusion
This study indicates that HL-60 cells are of limited usage as an alternative model to study antimicrobial functions of neutrophils against Staphylococcus aureus.18.

Introduction and objective
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human gastric pathogen. Because of presence of H. pylori oral cavity, there is a possibility of H. pylori transmission by oral-oral route. In a crosssectional study, the presence of some virulence factors of H. pylori and also non-pylori Helicobacters in dental plaque samples of participants was investigated.Methods
The samples were collected from at least two teeth surfaces. DNA of the samples was extracted using specific kit. The presence of dupA (jhp0917 and jhp0918) and babA2 genes and also Helicobacter genus and H. pylori species was investigated using polymerase chain reaction by specific primers.Results
In total 44% (20/45) and 86.7% (39/45) of samples was positive for ureC and 16SrRNA genes respectively. The frequency of babA2, jhp0917 and jhp0918 genes in H. pylori isolates were 40, 20 and 65% respectively. It seems 19 samples were positive probably non-pylori Helicobacters.Conclusion
In the present study we report for the first time the presence of non-pylori Helicobacter species and also high frequency of babA2 and dupA genotypes in dental plaque samples.19.

Background
Aurora kinase A (AURKA) is a member of serine/threonine kinase family. Several kinases belonging to this family are activated in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle being involved in mitotic chromosomal segregation. AURKA overexpression is significantly associated with neoplastic transformation in several tumors and deregulated Aurora Kinases expression leads to chromosome instability, thus contributing to cancer progression. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the expression of AURKA in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens and to correlate its mRNA or protein expression with patients' clinico-pathological features.Materials and methods
Quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis on matched cancer and corresponding normal tissues from surgically resected non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) have been performed aiming to explore the expression levels of AURKA gene.Results
AURKA expression was significantly up-modulated in tumor samples compared to matched lung tissue (p < 0.01, mean log2(FC) = 1.5). Moreover, AURKA was principally up-modulated in moderately and poorly differentiated lung cancers (p < 0.01), as well as in squamous and adenocarcinomas compared to the non-invasive bronchioloalveolar histotype (p = 0.029). No correlation with survival was observed.Conclusion
These results indicate that in NSCLC AURKA over-expression is restricted to specific subtypes and poorly differentiated tumors.20.
