    Abstract Background/aim: The earliest cellular and molecular biologic changes in the esophagus that lead to esophageal cancer were evaluated in a mouse model. We correlated numbers of senescent cells with the levels of expression of potentially carcinogenic genes in sorted side population (SP) cells containing esophageal stem cells and non-stem cells in the non-side population cells in the 4-nitroquinolone oxide (NQO)-treated esophagus.
    Materials and methods: We compared stem cells with non-stem cells from the esophagus of mice treated with the chemical carcinogen 4-NQO (100 μg/ml) in drinking water. We also compared gene expression in human esophagus samples treated with 4-NQO (100 μg/ml media) to non-treated samples. We separated and quantitated the relative levels of expression of RNA using RNAseq analysis. We identified senescent cells by luciferase imaging of p16
    Results: A significant increase in the levels of RNA for oncostatin-M was found in senescent cells of the esophagus from 4-NQO-treated mice and human esophagus in vitro.
    Conclusion: Induction of OSM in chemically-induced esophageal cancer in mice correlates with the appearance of senescent cells.

    Abstract Unlabelled: The extraordinary diversity of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope (Env) glycoprotein poses a major challenge for the development of an HIV-1 vaccine. One strategy to circumvent this problem utilizes bioinformatically optimized mosaic antigens. However, mosaic Env proteins expressed as trimers have not been previously evaluated for their stability, antigenicity, and immunogenicity. Here, we report the production and characterization of a stable HIV-1 mosaic M gp140 Env trimer. The mosaic M trimer bound CD4 as well as multiple broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, and biophysical characterization suggested substantial stability. The mosaic M trimer elicited higher neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers against clade B viruses than a previously described clade C (C97ZA.012) gp140 trimer in guinea pigs, whereas the clade C trimer elicited higher nAb titers than the mosaic M trimer against clade A and C viruses. A mixture of the clade C and mosaic M trimers elicited nAb responses that were comparable to the better component of the mixture for each virus tested. These data suggest that combinations of relatively small numbers of immunologically complementary Env trimers may improve nAb responses.
    Importance: The development of an HIV-1 vaccine remains a formidable challenge due to multiple circulating strains of HIV-1 worldwide. This study describes a candidate HIV-1 Env protein vaccine whose sequence has been designed by computational methods to address HIV-1 diversity. The characteristics and immunogenicity of this Env protein, both alone and mixed together with a clade C Env protein vaccine, are described.

    Abstract Te reo M\=aori (referred to as M\=aori), New Zealand's indigenous language, is under-resourced in language technology. M\=aori speakers are bilingual, where M\=aori is code-switched with English. Unfortunately, there are minimal resources available for M\=aori language technology, language detection and code-switch detection between M\=aori-English pair. Both English and M\=aori use Roman-derived orthography making rule-based systems for detecting language and code-switching restrictive. Most M\=aori language detection is done manually by language experts. This research builds a M\=aori-English bilingual database of 66,016,807 words with word-level language annotation. The New Zealand Parliament Hansard debates reports were used to build the database. The language labels are assigned using language-specific rules and expert manual annotations. Words with the same spelling, but different meanings, exist for M\=aori and English. These words could not be categorised as M\=aori or English based on word-level language rules. Hence, manual annotations were necessary. An analysis reporting the various aspects of the database such as metadata, year-wise analysis, frequently occurring words, sentence length and N-grams is also reported. The database developed here is a valuable tool for future language and speech technology development for Aotearoa New Zealand. The methodology followed to label the database can also be followed by other low-resourced language pairs.

    Abstract Conjunctival tumors encompass a broad range of diagnoses. The 3 most important malignant tumors include ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) (14%), melanoma (12%), and lymphoma (7%). Conjunctival malignancies are rarely found in children. Regarding OSSN, pre-disposing conditions include chronic solar radiation, immune deficiency (HIV), organ transplant, autoimmune conditions, xeroderma pigmentosum, and chronic exposure to cigarette smoke. OSSN is managed surgically or with topical/injection immunotherapy or chemotherapy. Metastasis occurs in <1%. Regarding melanoma, predisposing conditions include primary acquired melanosis (PAM), chronic nevus, and chronic solar radiation. Treatment of PAM or nevus can prevent melanoma. Melanoma management involves surgical resection with clean margins and avoidance of direct tumor manipulation ("no touch" technique). The first surgery is most important, to minimize tumor seeding. Biomarkers including BRAF, TERT, and PTEN provide information regarding risk for metastasis and allow for targeted antibiomarker therapies. Ten-year risk for melanoma metastasis is 25%. Tumors >2 mm thickness or those located in fornix, caruncle, or orbit are at highest risk for metastasis. Regarding lymphoma, predisposing conditions include benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, immune deficiency (HIV), immune dysfunction, and chronic inflammation/infection (Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia psittaci). The 4 most important subtypes include extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (ENMZL), follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Treatment includes surgical resection, cryotherapy, radiotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, or targeted anti-B-cell therapy (rituximab). Lymphoma-related survival (5-year) depends on subtype and ranges from 97% (ENMZL) to 9% (MCL). Recognizing conjunctival tumors and understanding predisposing factors, biomarkers, and treatment strategies are vital to patient outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: The growing interest in incorporating prevention into emergency health care make it timely to examine the use of computer technology to efficiently deliver effective education in this setting.
    Study design: This RCT compared results from an intervention group (n=367) that received child passenger safety information, to an attention-matched control (n=375). A baseline survey and two follow-up surveys at 3 and 6 months were conducted.
    Setting/participants: Data were collected from June 2014 to September 2016 from a sample of parents with children aged 4-7 years recruited from a pediatric emergency department in an East Coast urban area and one in a Midwest semi-rural area.
    Intervention: A theory-based, stage-tailored educational program, Safety in Seconds v2.0
    Main outcome measures: Four car seat behaviors: (1) having the correct restraint for the child's age and weight; (2) having the child ride in the backseat all the time; (3) buckling up the child all the time; and (4) having the child's restraint inspected by a child passenger safety technician.
    Results: At 3 months, adjusting for baseline behaviors and attrition, the odds of reporting the correct behavior by the intervention group relative to the control group was 2.07 (p<0.01) for using the correct car seat; 2.37 (p<0.05) times for having the child ride in the back seat; 1.04 (nonsignificant) for riding buckled up all the time; and 1.99 (p<0.01) times for having the car seat inspected. At 6 months, there were statistically significant effects for reporting use of the correct car seat (OR=1.84, p<0.01) and having the car seat inspected (OR=1.73, p<0.01).
    Conclusions: Mobile apps hold promise for reaching large populations with individually tailored child passenger safety education.
