    Abstract Carbon fiber precursor materials, such as polyacrylonitrile, pitch, and cellulose/rayon, require thermal stabilization to maintain structural integrity during conversion into carbon fiber. Thermal stabilization mitigates undesirable decomposition and liquification of the fibers during the carbonization process. Generally, the thermal stabilization of mesophase pitch consists of the attachment of oxygen-containing functional groups onto the polymeric structure. In this study, the oxidation of mesophase pitch precursor fibers at various weight percentage increases (1, 3.5, 5, 7.5 wt%) and temperatures (260, 280, 290 °C) using in situ differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis is investigated. The results are analyzed to determine the effect of temperature and weight percentage increase on the stabilization process of the fibers, and the fibers are subsequently carbonized and tested for tensile mechanical performance. The findings provide insight into the relationship between stabilization conditions, fiber microstructure, and mechanical properties of the resulting carbon fibers.

    Abstract We report a series of four patients with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) who underwent posterior tracheopexy for severe tracheomalacia (TM). While posterior tracheopexy is an established surgical treatment for TM associated with tracheoesophageal fistula, it has not been previously described in TM associated with BPD. There were no significant intraoperative or postoperative complications from the surgeries. Three of the four patients required tracheostomy and mechanical ventilation, which may reflect the degree of lung disease and other multisystem comorbidities in these patients. More investigation is needed to determine whether posterior tracheopexy is an effective surgical option for TM related to BPD.

    Abstract Purpose: Many localized prostate cancers will follow an indolent course. Management has shifted toward active surveillance (AS), yet an optimal regimen remains controversial especially regarding expensive multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We aimed to assess cost-effectiveness of MRI in AS protocols.
    Materials and methods: A probabilistic microsimulation modeled individual patient trajectories for men diagnosed with low-risk cancer. We assessed no surveillance, up-front treatment (surgery or radiation), and scheduled AS protocols incorporating transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) biopsy or MRI based regimens at serial intervals. Lifetime quality-adjusted life-years and costs adjusted to 2020 US$ were used to calculate expected net monetary benefit at $50,000/quality-adjusted life-year and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. Uncertainty was assessed with probabilistic sensitivity analysis and linear regression metamodeling.
    Results: Conservative management with AS outperformed up-front definitive treatment in a modeled cohort reflecting characteristics from a multi-institutional trial. Biopsy decision conditional on positive imaging (MRI triage) at 2-year intervals provided the highest expected net monetary benefit (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio $44,576). Biopsy after both positive and negative imaging (MRI pathway) and TRUS biopsy based regimens were not cost-effective. MRI triage resulted in fewer biopsies while reducing metastatic disease or cancer death. Results were sensitive to test performance and cost. MRI triage was the most likely cost-effective strategy on probabilistic sensitivity analysis.
    Conclusions: For men with low-risk prostate cancer, our modeling demonstrated that AS with sequential MRI triage is more cost-effective than biopsy regardless of imaging, TRUS biopsy alone or immediate treatment. AS guidelines should specify the role of imaging, and prospective studies should be encouraged.

    Abstract Clinicians often face a dilemma in diagnosing bipolar disorder patients with complex symptoms who spend more time in a depressive state than a manic state. The current gold standard for such diagnosis, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), is not objectively grounded in pathophysiology. In such complex cases, relying solely on the DSM may result in misdiagnosis as major depressive disorder (MDD). A biologically-based classification algorithm that can accurately predict treatment response may help patients suffering from mood disorders. Here we used an algorithm to do so using neuroimaging data. We used the neuromark framework to learn a kernel function for support vector machine (SVM) on multiple feature subspaces. The neuromark framework achieves up to 95.45% accuracy, 0.90 sensitivity, and 0.92 specificity in predicting antidepressant (AD) vs. mood stabilizer (MS) response in patients. We incorporated two additional datasets to evaluate the generalizability of our approach. The trained algorithm achieved up to 89% accuracy, 0.88 sensitivity, and 0.89 specificity in predicting the DSM-based diagnosis on these datasets. We also translated the model to distinguish responders to treatment from nonresponders with up to 70% accuracy. This approach reveals multiple salient biomarkers of medication-class of response within mood disorders.

    Abstract Prune belly syndrome (PBS), also known as Eagle-Barret syndrome, is a rare, multi-system congenital myopathy primarily affecting males. Phenotypically, PBS cases manifest three cardinal pathological features: urinary tract dilation with poorly contractile smooth muscle, wrinkled flaccid ventral abdominal wall with skeletal muscle deficiency, and intra-abdominal undescended testes. Genetically, PBS is poorly understood. After performing whole exome sequencing in PBS patients, we identify one compound heterozygous variant in the PIEZO1 gene. PIEZO1 is a cation-selective channel activated by various mechanical forces and widely expressed throughout the lower urinary tract. Here we conduct an extensive functional analysis of the PIEZO1 PBS variants that reveal loss-of-function characteristics in the pressure-induced normalized open probability (NPo) of the channel, while no change is observed in single-channel currents. Furthermore, Yoda1, a PIEZO1 activator, can rescue the NPo defect of the PBS mutant channels. Thus, PIEZO1 mutations may be causal for PBS and the in vitro cellular pathophysiological phenotype could be rescued by the small molecule, Yoda1. Activation of PIEZO1 might provide a promising means of treating PBS and other related bladder dysfunctional states.

    Abstract Early life adversity impacts on a range of emotional, cognitive, and psychological processes. A recent theoretical model suggests that at least some of these effects are due to accelerated maturation of specific physiological systems and/or neural circuits. For example, maternal separation (MS), a model of early life adversity in rodents, accelerates maturation of memory systems, and here we examined its impact on maturation of perineuronal nets (PNNs) and parvalbumin (PV)-containing inhibitory interneurons. PNNs are specialized extracellular matrix structures suggested to be involved in stabilizing long-term memories and in the closure of a sensitive period in memory development. PV-containing inhibitory interneurons are the type of cell that PNNs preferentially surround, and are also thought to be involved in memory. In Experiment 1, with male rats, there was an increase in PNNs in both the amygdala and prefrontal cortex with age from infancy to juvenility. Contrary to prediction, MS had no impact on either PNN or PV expression. The same pattern was observed in female rats in Experiment 2. Taken together, these data show that the early maturation of memory in MS infants is not due to an accelerated maturation of PNNs or PV-containing cells in either the amygdala or prefrontal cortex.

    Abstract Effective SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drugs are desperately needed. The SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) appears as an attractive target for drug development. We show that the existing pharmacopeia contains many drugs with potential for therapeutic repurposing as selective and potent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. We screened a collection of ~6,070 drugs with a previous history of use in humans for compounds that inhibit the activity of Mpro in vitro and found ~50 compounds with activity against Mpro. Subsequent dose validation studies demonstrated 8 dose responsive hits with an IC50 ≤ 50 μM. Hits from our screen are enriched with hepatitis C NS3/4A protease targeting drugs including boceprevir, ciluprevir. narlaprevir, and telaprevir. This work suggests previous large-scale commercial drug development initiatives targeting hepatitis C NS3/4A viral protease should be revisited because some previous lead compounds may be more potent against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro than boceprevir and suitable for rapid repurposing.
