Evaluation of the Association between Programmed Cell Death-1 Gene Polymorphisms and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Susceptibility in Turkish Subjects. A Pilot Study.
Demirci AF, Demirtas CO, Eren F, Yilmaz D, Keklikkiran C, Ozdogan OC, Gunduz F
Background and aims: Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) has a vital role in regulating T-cell function, and immune escape mechanism of cancer cells. It was shown that there could be a relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PD-1 gene and susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on various studies. We aimed to investigate the role of three SNPs within the PD-1 gene in susceptibility to HCC in the Turkish population. Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms of...

The Use of Angiotensin II for the Treatment of Post-cardiopulmonary Bypass Vasoplegia.
Papazisi O, Palmen M, Danser AHJ
Purpose: Vasoplegia is a common complication after cardiac surgery and is related to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Despite its association with increased morbidity and mortality, no consensus exists in terms of its treatment. In December 2017, angiotensin II (AII) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in vasodilatory shock; however, except for the ATHOS-3 trial, its use in vasoplegic patients that underwent cardiac surgery on CPB has mainly been reported in ca...

Impact of Extended-Interval Versus Standard Dosing of Zoledronic Acid on Skeletal Events in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Bone Metastases.
Tam AH, Schepers AJ, Qin A, Nachar VR
Background: Zoledronic acid every 4 weeks (Q4wk) reduces the incidence of skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with metastatic lung cancer. Lung cancer patients were excluded from extended-interval dosing trials (every 12 weeks [Q12wk]) that demonstrated noninferiority of the 2 dosing schemes. To date, the optimal dosing of zoledronic acid in metastatic lung cancer remains unknown. Objective: To determine whether zoledronic acid dosed Q12wk is similar to Q4wk dosing for prevention of SRE i...

The clonal relation of primary upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma and paired urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.
van Doeveren T, Nakauma-Gonzalez JA, Nakauma-Gonzalez JA, Mason AS, van Leenders GJLH, Zuiverloon TCM, Zwarthoff EC, Meijssen IC, van der Made AC, van der Heijden AG, Hendricksen K, van Rhijn BWG, Voskuilen CS, van Riet J, Dinjens WNM, Dubbink HJ, van de Werken HJG, Boormans JL
The risk of developing urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) in patients treated by radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for an upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is 22% to 47% in the 2 years after surgery. Subject of debate remains whether UTUC and the subsequent UCB are clonally related or represent separate origins. To investigate the clonal relationship between both entities, we performed targeted DNA sequencing of a panel of 41 genes on matched normal and tumor tissue of 15 pri...

The genetic background of childhood body mass index (BMI), and the extent to which the well-known associations of childhood BMI with adult diseases are explained by shared genetic factors, are largely unknown. We performed a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of BMI in 61,111 children aged between 2 and 10 years. Twenty-five independent loci reached genome-wide significance in the combined discovery and replication analyses. Two of these, located near NEDD4L and SLC45A3, have not previo...

The zone of latent solutions and its relevance to understanding ape cultures.
Tennie C, Bandini E, van Schaik CP, Hopper LM
The zone of latent solutions (ZLS) hypothesis provides an alternative approach to explaining cultural patterns in primates and many other animals. According to the ZLS hypothesis, non-human great ape (henceforth: ape) cultures consist largely or solely of latent solutions. The current competing (and predominant) hypothesis for ape culture argues instead that at least some of their behavioural or artefact forms are copied through specific social learning mechanisms ("copying social learning...

Increased Plasma Heparanase Activity in COVID-19 Patients.
Buijsers B, Yanginlar C, de Nooijer A, Grondman I, Maciej-Hulme ML, Jonkman I, Janssen NAF, Rother N, de Graaf M, Pickkers P, Kox M, Joosten LAB, Nijenhuis T, Netea MG, Hilbrands L, van de Veerdonk FL, Duivenvoorden R, de Mast Q, van der Vlag J
Reports suggest a role of endothelial dysfunction and loss of endothelial barrier function in COVID-19. It is well established that the endothelial glycocalyx-degrading enzyme heparanase contributes to vascular leakage and inflammation. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) serve as an inhibitor of heparanase. We hypothesize that heparanase contributes to the pathogenesis of COVID-19, and that heparanase may be inhibited by LMWH. To test this hypothesis, heparanase activity and heparan sulfate le...
