TL;DR: Endocrine and autocrine/paracrine factors cooperate and lead to a fine regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes, which has therapeutic potential in the metabolic disorders frequently associated with obesity and probably in several inborn errors of metabolism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new approach to classification of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) that takes into account sequentially the major EB type present (based on identification of the level of skin cleavage), phenotypic characteristics (distribution and severity of disease activity; specific extracutaneous features; other), mode of inheritance, targeted protein and its relative expression in skin, gene involved and type(s) of mutation present, and specific mutation(s), and their location(s).
Abstract: Background Several new targeted genes and clinical subtypes have been identified since publication in 2008 of the report of the last international consensus meeting on diagnosis and classification of epidermolysis bullosa (EB). As a correlate, new clinical manifestations have been seen in several subtypes previously described. Objective We sought to arrive at an updated consensus on the classification of EB subtypes, based on newer data, both clinical and molecular. Results In this latest consensus report, we introduce a new approach to classification ("onion skinning") that takes into account sequentially the major EB type present (based on identification of the level of skin cleavage), phenotypic characteristics (distribution and severity of disease activity; specific extracutaneous features; other), mode of inheritance, targeted protein and its relative expression in skin, gene involved and type(s) of mutation present, and–when possible–specific mutation(s) and their location(s). Limitations This classification scheme critically takes into account all published data through June 2013. Further modifications are likely in the future, as more is learned about this group of diseases. Conclusion The proposed classification scheme should be of value both to clinicians and researchers, emphasizing both clinical and molecular features of each EB subtype, and has sufficient flexibility incorporated in its structure to permit further modifications in the future.

TL;DR: The results suggest that FLASH radiation may be a viable option for treating lung tumors and reduce the occurrence and severity of early and late complications affecting normal tissue.
Abstract: In vitro studies suggested that sub-millisecond pulses of radiation elicit less genomic instability than continuous, protracted irradiation at the same total dose. To determine the potential of ultrahigh dose-rate irradiation in radiotherapy, we investigated lung fibrogenesis in C57BL/6J mice exposed either to short pulses (≤500 ms) of radiation delivered at ultrahigh dose rate (≥40 Gy/s, FLASH) or to conventional dose-rate irradiation (≤0.03 Gy/s, CONV) in single doses. The growth of human HBCx-12A and HEp-2 tumor xenografts in nude mice and syngeneic TC-1 Luc + orthotopic lung tumors in C57BL/6J mice was monitored under similar radiation conditions. CONV (15 Gy) triggered lung fibrosis associated with activation of the TGF-b (transforming growth factor–b) cascade, whereas no complications developed after doses of FLASH below 20 Gy for more than 36 weeks after irradiation. FLASH irradiation also spared normal smooth muscle and epithelial cells from acute radiation-induced apoptosis, which could be reinduced by administrationofsystemicTNF-a(tumornecrosisfactor–a)beforeirradiation.Incontrast,FLASHwasasefficientasCONVinthe repression of tumor growth. Together, these results suggest that FLASH radiotherapy might allow complete eradication of lung tumors and reduce the occurrence and severity of early and late complications affecting normal tissue.

TL;DR: The cellular and molecular mechanisms that account for the most deleterious effect of hepatic inflammation at the cellular level are discussed, that is, the initiation of a massive cell death response among hepatocytes.

TL;DR: Level of education had a decisive influence in all tests; age had no influence on performance in formal evocation, whereas the subjects in the middle age class presented the best performance in semantic evocation.
Abstract: A protocol of formal lexical evocation (words beginning with a letter) and semantic evocation was applied to 168 normal subjects evenly distributed on the basis of three factors (sex, three age classes and two levels of education). Correct answers, their distribution within the allotted time (proportions of correct answers in four thirty-second periods) and errors were analysed globally and in relation to the said factors. Level of education had a decisive influence in all tests; age had no influence on performance in formal evocation, whereas the subjects in the middle age class presented the best performance in semantic evocation. Distribution of the answers over time was unrelated to any of the factors considered. Errors were related to age in half the test.
