TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, with discovery and follow-up in 20,612 individuals of European and East Asian ancestry is performed, suggesting a possible role for host–intestinal pathogen interactions in shaping the genetic landscape of IgAN.
Abstract: We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, with discovery and follow-up in 20,612 individuals of European and East Asian ancestry. We identified six new genome-wide significant associations, four in ITGAM-ITGAX, VAV3 and CARD9 and two new independent signals at HLA-DQB1 and DEFA. We replicated the nine previously reported signals, including known SNPs in the HLA-DQB1 and DEFA loci. The cumulative burden of risk alleles is strongly associated with age at disease onset. Most loci are either directly associated with risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier and response to mucosal pathogens. The geospatial distribution of risk alleles is highly suggestive of multi-locus adaptation, and genetic risk correlates strongly with variation in local pathogens, particularly helminth diversity, suggesting a possible role for host-intestinal pathogen interactions in shaping the genetic landscape of IgAN.

TL;DR: The endothelium plays a key role in vascular homeostasis through the release of a variety of autocrine and paracrine substances and is antiatherogenic because of effects that include inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion, smooth and hardening.

TL;DR: Two new (related) methods to embed a protein in a lipid bilayer are introduced, which minimize equilibration time and can be almost completely automated, nearly eliminating one time consuming step in MD simulations of membrane proteins.

TL;DR: Assessment of children with movement problems, regardless of the degree or severity of these problems, should examine a wide range of functions in addition to motor functioning to determine the types of intervention that would provide the most benefit to these children.

TL;DR: The anaerobic threshold (AnT) is defined as the highest sustained intensity of exercise for which measurement of oxygen uptake can account for the entire energy requirement.
Abstract: Resume The anaerobic threshold (AnT) is defined as the highest sustained intensity of exercise for which measurement of oxygen uptake can account for the entire energy requirement. At the AnT, the rate at which lactate appears in the blood will be equal to the rate of its disappear- ance. Although inadequate oxygen delivery may facilitate lactic acid production, there is no evidence that lactic acid production above the AnT results from inadequate oxygen deliv- ery. There are many reasons for trying to quantify this intensity of exercise, including as- sessment of cardiovascular or pulmonary health, evaluation of training programs, and cat- egorization of the intensity of exercise as mild, moderate, or intense. Several tests have been developed to determine the intensity of exercise associated with AnT: maximal lactate steady state, lactate minimum test, lactate threshold, OBLA, individual anaerobic thresh- old, and ventilatory threshold. Each approach permits an estimate of the intensity of exer- cise associated with AnT, but also has consistent and predictable error depending on proto- col and the criteria used to identify the appropriate intensity of exercise. These tests are valuable, but when used to predict AnT, the term that describes the approach taken should be used to refer to the intensity that has been identified, rather than to refer to this intensity as the AnT.
