Acute Ischemic Heart stroke Related to COVID19

Together, the datasets provide an important resource to increase our understanding of the regulation of migration in macrophages and to develop therapies targeting disease-enhancing macrophages. © 2020. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd.USP16 (also known as UBP-M) has emerged as a histone H2AK119 deubiquitylase (DUB) implicated in the regulation of chromatin-associated processes and cell cycle progression. Despite this, available evidence suggests that this DUB is also present in the cytoplasm. How the nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of USP16, and hence its function, is regulated has remained elusive. Here, we show that USP16 is predominantly cytoplasmic in all cell cycle phases. We identified the nuclear export signal (NES) responsible for maintaining USP16 in the cytoplasm. We found that USP16 is only transiently retained in the nucleus following mitosis and then rapidly exported from this compartment. We also defined a non-canonical nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequence that plays a minimal role in directing USP16 into the nucleus. We further established that this DUB does not accumulate in the nucleus following DNA damage. Instead, only enforced nuclear localization of USP16 abolishes DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, possibly due to unrestrained DUB activity. Thus, in contrast to the prevailing view, our data indicate that USP16 is actively excluded from the nucleus and that this DUB might indirectly regulate DSB repair.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper. © 2020.

In such cases, understanding the contribution of the deletion to an individual's clinical phenotype is challenging. METHODS Here, as an example of this common phenomenon, we analysed 41 patients with simple deletions of ~177 to ~2000 kb affecting one allele of the well-characterised, gene dense, distal region of chromosome 16 (16p13.3), referred to as ATR-16 syndrome. We characterised deletion extents and screened for genetic background effects, telomere position effect and compensatory upregulation of hemizygous genes. RESULTS We find the risk of developmental and neurological abnormalities arises from much smaller distal chromosome 16 deletions (~400 kb) than previously reported. Beyond this, the severity of ATR-16 syndrome increases with deletion size, but there is no evidence that critical regions determine the developmental abnormalities associated with this disorder. Surprisingly, we find no evidence of telomere position effect or compensatory upregulation of hemizygous genes; however, genetic background effects substantially modify phenotypic abnormalities. CONCLUSIONS Using ATR-16 as a general model of disorders caused by CNVs, we show the degree to which individuals with contiguous gene syndromes are affected is not simply related to the number of genes deleted but depends on their genetic background. We also show there is no critical region defining the degree of phenotypic abnormalities in ATR-16 syndrome and this has important implications for genetic counselling. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020.

Chromosomal microarray analysis detecting CNVs is currently recommended as the first-tier test for DD diagnosis. However, this analysis omits a high percentage of disease-causing single nucleotide variations (SNVs) that warrant further sequencing. Currently, next-generation sequencing can be used in clinical scenarios detecting CNVs, and the use of exome sequencing in the DD cohort ahead of the microarray test has not been evaluated. METHODS Clinical exome sequencing (CES) was performed on 1090 unrelated Chinese DD patients who were classified into five phenotype subgroups. CNVs and SNVs were both detected and analysed based on sequencing data. RESULTS An overall diagnostic rate of 41.38% was achieved with the combinational analysis of CNV and SNV. Over 12.02% of patients were diagnosed based on CNV, which was comparable with the published CMA diagnostic rate, while 0.74% were traditionally elusive cases who had dual diagnosis or apparently homozygous mutations that were clarified. The diagnostic rates among subgroups ranged from 21.82% to 50.32%. The top three recurrent cytobands with diagnostic CNVs were 15q11.2-q13.1, 22q11.21 and 7q11.23. The top three genes with diagnostic SNVs were MECP2, SCN1A and SCN2A. Both the diagnostic rate and spectrums of CNVs and SNVs showed differences among the phenotype subgroups. CONCLUSION With a higher diagnostic rate, more comprehensive observation of variations and lower cost compared with conventional strategies, simultaneous analysis of CNVs and SNVs based on CES showed potential as a new first-tier choice to diagnose DD. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020.

Pediatric providers are uniquely positioned to offer universal education (anticipatory guidance) about healthy and unhealthy relationships to all their adolescent patients. Pediatric practices can ensure that youth know about available resources and supports for relationship abuse (for themselves or for their friends) and can facilitate safe connections to victim service advocates. © American Academy of Pediatrics, 2020.

Trends in states adopting such legislation demonstrate an increasing prevalence of cannabis use coincident to decreasing perceptions of risk of harm from cannabis products. When providing anticipatory guidance, pediatricians should be prepared to address childhood unintentional ingestion management and prevention, adolescent problem use, and cannabis as an alternative therapy for seizure disorders and other conditions. © American Academy of Pediatrics, 2020.
