    Abstract The recent identification and rise to dominance of the P.1 and B.1.351 SARS-CoV-2 variants have brought international concern because they may confer fitness advantages. The same three positions in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) are affected in both variants, but where the 417 substitution differs, the E484K/N501Y have co-evolved by convergent evolution. Here we characterize the functional and immune evasive consequences of the P.1 and B.1.351 RBD mutations. E484K and N501Y result in gain-of-function with two different outcomes: The N501Y confers a ten-fold affinity increase towards ACE-2, but a modest antibody evasion potential of plasma from convalescent or vaccinated individuals, whereas the E484K displays a significant antibody evasion capacity without a major impact on affinity. On the other hand, the two different 417 substitutions severely impair the RBD/ACE-2 affinity, but in the combined P.1 and B.1.351 RBD variants, this effect is partly counterbalanced by the effect of the E484K and N501Y. Our results suggest that the combination of these three mutations is a two-step forward and one step back in terms of viral fitness.

    Abstract Apolipoprotein (apo) E mutants are associated with type III hyperlipoproteinemia characterized by high cholesterol and triglycerides levels. Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH), due to the mutations in the LDLR, APOB, or PCSK9 genes, is characterized by an isolated elevation of cholesterol due to the high levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). We now report an exceptionally large family including 14 members with ADH. Through genome-wide mapping, analysis of regional/functional candidate genes, and whole exome sequencing, we identified a mutation in the APOE gene, c.500_502delTCC/p.Leu167del, previously reported associated with sea-blue histiocytosis and familial combined hyperlipidemia. We confirmed the involvement of the APOE p.Leu167del in ADH, with (1) a predicted destabilization of an alpha-helix in the binding domain, (2) a decreased apo E level in LDLs, and (3) a decreased catabolism of LDLs. Our results show that mutations in the APOE gene can be associated with bona fide ADH.

    Abstract Objectives: We sought to assess the value of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) P-wave morphology to recognize the paced pulmonary vein (PV).
    Background: Prediction of arrhythmogenic PVs producing ectopy or initiating atrial fibrillation (AF) using 12-lead ECG may facilitate curative ablation.
    Methods: In 30 patients P-wave configurations were studied during sinus rhythm and during pacing at six sites from the four PVs: top and bottom of each superior PV and both inferior PVs. The P-wave amplitude, duration and morphology were assessed, and predictive accuracies were calculated for the most significant parameters. An algorithm predicting the paced PV was developed and prospectively evaluated in a different population of 20 patients. RESULTS; Three criteria were used to distinguish right from left PV: 1) a positive P-wave in lead aVL and the amplitude of P-wave in lead I > or =50 microV indicated right PV origin (specificity 100% and 97%, respectively); 2) a notched P-wave in lead II was a predictor of left PV origin (specificity 95%); and 3) the amplitude ratio of lead III/II and the duration of positivity in lead V(1) were also helpful in distinguishing left versus right PV origin. In addition, superior PVs could be distinguished from inferior according to the amplitude in lead II (> or =100 microV). In prospective evaluation, an algorithm based on the above four criteria identified 93% of left versus right PV and totally 79% of the specific PVs paced.
    Conclusions: Pacing from the different PVs produced a P-wave with distinctive characteristics that could be used as criteria in an algorithm to identify the PV of origin with an accuracy of 79%.

    Abstract Indonesia faces a challenge in controlling the burden of diabetic foot ulcers, which necessitates a nursing care management approach to optimize the healing of complications by accurately monitoring wound healing progress using wound assessment tools. This literature review, which is part of a scoping study framework, searched electronic databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar to find papers relevant to the Indonesian context. Five papers were chosen from a total of 463 papers discovered. The diabetic foot ulcer wound assessment tools DFUAS (diabetic foot ulcer assessment scale), DMIST (deep, maceration, infection, size, and tunneling), and MUNGS (maceration, undermining, necrotic, granulation, and symptoms/signs) were identified in the literature review. For leg ulcers, LUMT (leg ulcer measurement tool) and RESVECH 2.0 (Results Expected from Chronic Wound Healing Assessment) were used. DMIST, DFUAS, and MUNGS are used to predict healed and non-healing wounds. LUMT determines the evaluation and documentation of leg ulcers, and RESVECH 2.0 is designed to shorten the duration of chronic wound occurrence. The psychometric properties of the DMIST scale were identified, including reliability, validity, and responsiveness. Five tools for assessing chronic wounds were identified. The predictive validity and responsiveness of the DMIST tool were supported by a sufficient rating based on evidence quality. This scoping review provides an overview of the measurement properties of available assessment tools for diabetic foot ulcers.

    Abstract Data about the impact of Belimumab on corticosteroid sparing in real life are scarce. To assess the corticosteroid-sparing effect among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treated with Belimumab in real-life settings. Multicentric observational retrospective study including patients with SLE and having received Belimumab for at least 6 months between 2011 and 2020, in eight French hospitals. "Low dose" referred to patients receiving up to 7.5 mg of prednisone a day and "Very low dose" to those receiving strictly ≤ 5 mg prednisone a day The primary endpoint was the reduction of daily prednisone dose after six months of Belimumab. The secondary endpoint was a change in the proportion of patients with low or very low dose of prednisone as well as those without prednisone during the Belimumab course. Censoring occurred for patients who stopped Belimumab. Bivariate analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The threshold for statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Thirty patients were included. All were female with a median age of 38 years. A significant reduction in prednisone dose was observed at month 6 (10 [7-20] vs 6.75 [2-9] mg, p < 0.0001), continued until month 12 (10 [7-20] mg vs 5 [0-7.12] mg, p < 0.001) and was sustained until month 24. The proportion of patients with very low dose of prednisone and those without prednisone progressively increased during the Belimumab course. Introducing Belimumab in patients with SLE, in real-life conditions, is associated with early and sustained corticosteroid-sparing effect.
