    Abstract Nearly seven decades have elapsed since the clinical and biochemical features of primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) were described by Conn. PA is now widely recognized as the most common form of secondary hypertension. PA has a strong correlation with cardiovascular disease and failure to recognize and/or properly diagnose this condition has profound health consequences. With proper identification and management, PA has the potential to be surgically cured in a proportion of affected individuals. The diagnostic pursuit for PA is not a simplistic endeavor, particularly because an enhanced understanding of the disease process is continually redefining the diagnostic and treatment algorithm. These new concepts have emerged in all areas of this clinical condition, including identification, diagnosis, and treatment. Here, we review the recent advances in this field and summarize the effect these advances have on both diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.

    Abstract : Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Numerous antihypertensive medications and lifestyle changes have proven effective for the reduction of blood pressure (BP). Over the past few decades, the emergence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)-based strategies to lower BP have broadened the therapeutic armamentarium for hypertension. CAM is defined as a group of heterogeneous medical treatments that are used to enhance the effect of standard therapy, or, conversely, are implemented as an alternative to standard practice. The available body of evidence does substantiate the BP-lowering effects of certain CAM-based therapies in individuals with and without established hypertension. Collectively, alternative strategies for BP reduction have undergone less rigorous testing than traditional BP-lowering strategies and the lack of robust clinical data has greatly hampered the broad-scale adoption of CAM therapies into clinical practice. Despite these limitations, CAM-based therapies for the reduction of BP require consideration as they could offer substantial public health benefits given the high prevalence of hypertension in the general population. This article reviews some of the most promising CAM-based therapies for the reduction of BP and cardiovascular outcomes based on the current literature.

    Abstract A misinterpretation of the results from ONTARGET (Ongoing Telmisartan alone and in combination with ramipril Global Endpoint Trial) has sparked both efficacy and safety concerns within the nephrology community regarding the utilization of dual RAAS blockade to achieve more desirable renal outcomes. Two important considerations are requisite prior to interpreting these results, specifically: the context of the cohort studied (non-proteinuric CKD patients at low risk of progression) and the inadequate power of the study to assess renal outcomes. The cardiac and renal protection afforded from dual RAAS blockade in select populations, particularly proteinuric CKD and CHF, is supported by literature. Moreover, the response to dual RAAS blockade involving different combinations of ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and direct renin inhibitors, may not be uniform amongst all patient populations. Will we continue to withhold the appropriate medical therapy from certain individuals based on misconstrued data? The proceedings provide a critical analysis of the ONTARGET study and an evidence-based substantiation for the utilization of various forms of dual RAAS blockade in proteinuric kidney disease and beyond.

    Abstract The velocity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression is only partly dependent on the nature and activity of the underlying disease process. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a crucial, and often universal, event responsible for the pathophysiologic mechanisms that accelerate CKD progression. Thus, it would appear that interruption of the RAAS through the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, or direct renin inhibitors can play a principal role in slowing CKD progression, regardless of the cause. Unfortunately, applying this generalized approach to all forms of CKD has been delayed by the lack of strong, evidence-based data. The aim of this review is to provide the most current evidence available for the use of RAAS blockade as a method of slowing the progression of the various forms of CKD.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasingly recognized in all fields of medical practice. Unfortunately, this syndrome has been plagued by inconsistent definitions, simplistic pathophysiologic schemas, and insensitive diagnostic tools. Recent advances in defining AKI, understanding its pathophysiology, and improving the diagnostic accuracy of the testing tools available eventually will impact disease management and clinical outcomes. Prompt recognition and treatment of AKI remain the cornerstone of clinical management for this high-mortality, high-cost syndrome. The authors provide the most recent updates in the definition, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment options for patients with AKI, providing a stepwise approach to clinical evaluation for use in all fields of medical practice.

    Abstract Objectives: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare type of cancer that typically arises from glandular tissues, most commonly in the salivary glands. Although relatively rare, it represents a serious clinical issue as the management of the disease is highly complex being the only therapeutic options represented by invasive surgery and/or radiotherapy. In the present study, we have explored the potential of galectin-3 binding protein (LGALS3BP) as a novel target for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy in ACC.
    Materials and methods: RNAseq was conducted on a panel of 10 ACC patient-derived xenografts (PDX)s tissues and 6 normal salivary glands to analyze LGALS3BP gene expression. Protein expression was assessed in ACC PDX and primary tumor tissues using immunohistochemistry. Anti-LGALS3BP ADC named 1959-sss/DM4, was tested in high LGALS3BP expressing ACC PDX model ST1502B.
    Results: RNAseq analysis revealed that LGALS3BP expression was highly expressed in ACC PDX tissues compared to normal salivary gland tissues. As evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis, LGALS3BP protein was found to be heterogeneously expressed in 10 ACC PDX and in tumor tissues derived from a cohort of 37 ACC patients. Further, treatment with 1959-sss/DM4 ADC led to durable tumor growth inhibition (TGI) in 100% of animals without observed toxicity.
    Conclusions: Our study provides strong evidence that LGALS3BP is a promising therapeutic target for ACC, warranting further expedited preclinical and clinical investigation.

    Abstract Background: Insulin, secreted from pancreatic islets of Langerhans, is of critical importance in regulating glucose homeostasis. Defective insulin secretion and/or the inability of tissues to respond to insulin results in insulin resistance and to several metabolic and organ alterations. We have previously demonstrated that BAG3 regulates insulin secretion. Herein we explored the consequences of beta-cells specific BAG3 deficiency in an animal model.
    Methods: We generated a beta-cells specific BAG3 knockout mouse model. Glucose and insulin tolerance tests, proteomics, metabolomics, and immunohistochemical analysis were used to investigate the role of BAG3 in regulating insulin secretion and the effects of chronic exposure to excessive insulin release in vivo.
    Results: Beta-cells specific BAG3 knockout results in primary hyperinsulinism due to excessive insulin exocytosis finally leading to insulin resistance. We demonstrate that resistance is mainly muscle-dependent while the liver remains insulin sensitive. The chronically altered metabolic condition leads in time to histopathological alterations in different organs. We observe elevated glycogen and lipid accumulation in the liver reminiscent of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as well as mesangial matrix expansion and thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, resembling the histology of chronic kidney disease.
    Conclusion: Altogether, this study shows that BAG3 plays a role in insulin secretion and provides a model for the study of hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance.

    Abstract Background: Presently available medications and surgical treatments for Parkinson's disease have limited effects on fine motor problems and often leave patients with significant fine motor disability. Standard of care occupational therapy (OT) yields low efficacy, potentially due to a lack of standard protocols. Neurologic music therapy (NMT) techniques, especially rhythmic auditory stimulation which relies on interaction between rhythm and movement, have shown to be effective in PD gait rehabilitation possibly through their reliance on neural pathways that are not affected by PD. Therapeutic instrumental music performance (TIMP) is one other NMT technique that holds promise but which mode of action and efficacy has not been investigated in PD yet.
    Methods: One hundred PD participants will be randomly assigned to receive 15 sessions of either TIMP with rhythm or TIMP without rhythm, standard of care OT, or to be waitlisted (control) over 5 consecutive weeks. Brain oscillatory responses will be collected using magnetoencephalography during an auditory-motor task to understand the underlying mechanisms. The Grooved Pegboard, the UPDRS III finger tap, and the finger-thumb opposition will be assessed to investigate clinical changes related to fine motor function. This project will also serve to confirm or refute our pilot data findings suggesting NMT relies on compensatory brain networks utilized by the PD brain to bypass the dysfunctional basal ganglia.
    Discussion: This study aims to use standardized TIMP and OT research protocols for investigating the neuronal pathways utilized by each intervention and possibly study their efficacy with respect to fine motor rehabilitation via a randomized control trial in the PD population.

    Abstract The R2TP chaperone cooperates with HSP90 to integrate newly synthesized proteins into multi-subunit complexes, yet its role in tissue homeostasis is unknown. Here, we generated conditional, inducible knock-out mice for Rpap3 to inactivate this core component of R2TP in the intestinal epithelium. In adult mice, Rpap3 invalidation caused destruction of the small intestinal epithelium and death within 10 days. Levels of R2TP substrates decreased, with strong effects on mTOR, ATM and ATR. Proliferative stem cells and progenitors deficient for Rpap3 failed to import RNA polymerase II into the nucleus and they induced p53, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Post-mitotic, differentiated cells did not display these alterations, suggesting that R2TP clients are preferentially built in actively proliferating cells. In addition, high RPAP3 levels in colorectal tumors from patients correlate with bad prognosis. Here, we show that, in the intestine, the R2TP chaperone plays essential roles in normal and tumoral proliferation.
