Establishment of a stable T lymphoma cell line transduced with HLA-A∗24:02-restricted WT1-specific TCR genes and its application to antigen-specific immunomonitoring.
Abstract Wilms' tumor gene 1 (WT1) has been proposed as an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy. A natural 9-mer peptide (CYTWNQMNL), which bound to human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A∗24:02, was identified from among WT1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes. This natural WT1 CTL epitope peptide was further modified (CMTWNQMNL) to enhance its binding affinity to HLA-A∗24:02. This modified WT1 CTL epitope peptide was superior to the natural peptide for inducing HLA-A∗24:02-restricted WT1-specific CTLs. Here we induced several WT1 CTLs that reacted with both modified and natural WT1 tetramers from p...

The three-dimensional microanatomy of the pancreatic duct system in the Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, with special reference to fine proximal passages of a high species-specificity.
In this study the pancreatic duct system in the Japanese monkey Macaca fuscata was observed by scanning electron microscopy after the hydrolytic exposure of cell surfaces as well as by transmission electron microscopy of ultrathin sections. Cellular expression of the water channel aquaporin 1 (AQP1) was also examined immunohistochemically. In contrast to the segmented duct system in the rat, all the duct cells in the monkey pancreas consistently displayed rich mitochondria in the cytoplasm, elaborate interdigitations of cell processes, and an intense immunoreactivity for AQP1 on the apical and basolateral cell membrane to ...

Interstitial laser-induced thermotherapy of the lung: evaluation of the influence of ablation continuity on ablation size in a swine model.
Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between size and the continuity of energy application in interstitial laser-induced thermotherapy. Percutaneous computed tomography-guided laser ablation (30 W, 600 nm diode) of the lung was performed in 7 Yorkshire pigs; a total of 42 ablation zones were created. Twenty ablations were performed using a continuous cycle of 2 min (protocol A) and 22 ablations were performed using 4 intermittent cycles with a duration of 1 min for each cycle interrupted by a 10-s stop between the cycles (protocol B). The lung was harvested immediately after euthanasia ...

Mucinous neoplasms of the appendix: a current comprehensive clinicopathologic and imaging review.
Abstract Mucinous neoplasms of the appendix are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms ranging from simple mucoceles to complex pseudomyxoma peritonei. Considerable controversy exists on their pathologic classification and nomenclature. Clear understanding of the histopathologic diversity of these neoplasms helps in establishing proper communication between the radiologist, the pathologist and the surgeon. In this article, we present a brief discussion of the current taxonomy and nomenclature of mucinous neoplasms of the appendix followed by a review of their imaging features.

Imaging findings in recurrent extramedullary leukaemias.
Abstract Acute leukaemias are relatively common malignancies. Treatment has advanced significantly in the recent past and there has been improved patient survival. This improved initial response is leading to an increasing number of cases of relapse. Extramedullary relapse occurs in a wide variety of locations with varying presentations, imaging findings and differentials. The pathophysiology and clinical course of recurrent extramedullary myeloid and lymphocytic leukaemias are reviewed in this article. The wide variety of imaging findings associated with many important sites of recurrence and the associated differ...

PET/MR: a paradigm shift.
This article provides an overview of the principal differences between PET/CT and PET/MR in terms of scanner design and technology, attenuation correction, speed, acquisition protocols, radiation exposure and safety aspects. PET/MR is expected to show advantages over PET/CT in clinical applications in which MR is known to be superior to CT due to its high intrinsic soft tissue contrast. However, as of now, only assumptions can be made about the future clinical role of PET/MR, as data about the performance of PET/MR in the clinical setting are still limited. The possible future clinical use of PET/MR in oncology, neurology ...

Additional annotation enhances potential for biologically-relevant analysis of the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array
Conclusion: DNAm arrays offer a high-throughput approach for which careful consideration of probe content should be utilized to better understand the biological processes affected. Probes containing SNPs and non-specific probes may affect the assessment of DNAm using the 450k array. Additionally, probe classification by CpG enrichment classes and to a lesser extent gene feature groups resulted in distinct patterns of DNAm. Thus, we recommend that compromised probes be removed from analyses and that the genomic context of DNAm is considered in studies deciphering the biological meaning of Illumina 450k array data.

An Analysis of the Relationship Between Ankle-Brachial Index and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in Type 2 Diabetes
We investigated the relationship between peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We enrolled 2057 hospitalized patients with T2DM and measured kidney function and ankle–brachial index (ABI). The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was derived using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation and ABI was grouped as low (<0.9), low-normal (0.9-1.09), normal (1.1-1.3), and high (>1.3). Logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations of eGFR with ABI. Generally speaking, the ABI was negatively correlated wi...

Relationship Between High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Risk Factors in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease--A Cross-Sectional Study
We investigated whether patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with various serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) differ in the frequency of atherosclerotic risk factors. Among 388 patients, hsCRP levels were (1) low, <1 mg/L, in 41 (10.6%) participants; (2) medium, from 1 to 3 mg/L, in 152 (39.2%) participants, and (3) high, >3 mg/L, in 195 (50.2%) individuals. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, in comparison with patients with hsCRP level ≤3.0 mg/L, those with higher hsCRP levels had more frequently a severe form of PAD (gangrene, P ranged from .045 to <.001...

Changes in Small Dense Low-Density Lipoprotein Levels Following Acute Coronary Syndrome
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), especially small dense LDL (sdLDL), plays a role in atherogenesis.
