    Abstract Altered motor and social-communicative abilities in infancy have been linked to later ASD diagnosis. Most diagnostic instruments for ASD cannot be utilized until 12 months, and the average child is diagnosed substantially later. Imitation combines motor and social-communicative skills and is commonly atypical in infants at risk for ASD. However, few measures have been developed to assess infant imitation clinically. One barrier to the diagnostic age gap of ASD is accessibility of screening and diagnostic services. Utilization of caregiver report to reliably screen for ASD mitigates such barriers and could aid in earlier detection. The present study developed and validated a caregiver-report measure of infant imitation at 4, 6, and 9 months and explored the relationship between caregiver-reported imitation and motor abilities with later ASD risk.

    Abstract Background: Although current therapy for patients with early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is potentially curative, the recurrence rate is high. Patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) SCCHN have a poor prognosis and substantial disease burden, including impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL), productivity loss and indirect costs, such as need for caregiver support. The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of R/M SCCHN and its first-line treatment on patient and caregiver quality of life, daily activities and work productivity using real-world evidence from Europe.
    Methods: This was a multicentre retrospective study of patients with R/M SCCHN in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom incorporating patient and caregiver surveys, and a physician-reported medical chart review, conducted between January and May 2019. Patients aged 18 or over with a physician confirmed diagnosis R/M SCCHN completed four validated measures of disease activity and its impact on quality of life and work productivity, while caregivers also completed questionnaire to assess the burden of providing care. Physicians provided data for clinical characteristics, patient management, testing history and treatment patterns.
    Results: A total of 195 medical/clinical oncologists provided data for 937, predominantly male (72%) patients, with almost half of patients aged over 65 years. The most frequently reported symptoms were fatigue (43%), weight loss (40%), pain (35%) and difficulty swallowing (32%). The EXTREME regimen was the most common first line therapy in over half of patients, who reported moderate or extreme pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, and problems with self-care resulting in a diminished health status compared with the general population. Only 14% were employed with high absenteeism or presenteeism, and over half of patients had a caregiver for whom the burden of care was substantial.
    Conclusion: Our results provide real-world insight into the multi-faceted burden associated with R/M SCCHN. The combination of poor HRQoL and the impairment in daily activities, social life and employment illustrates the wider impact of R/M SCCHN on patients and their caregivers, and highlights a need for novel 1 L treatment regimens to improve the humanistic and productivity burdens of this cancer.

    Abstract Controller proteins play a key role in the temporal regulation of gene expression in bacterial restriction-modification (R-M) systems and are important mediators of horizontal gene transfer. They form the basis of a highly cooperative, concentration-dependent genetic switch involved in both activation and repression of R-M genes. Here we present biophysical, biochemical, and high-resolution structural analysis of a novel class of controller proteins, exemplified by C.Csp231I. In contrast to all previously solved C-protein structures, each protein subunit has two extra helices at the C-terminus, which play a large part in maintaining the dimer interface. The DNA binding site of the protein is also novel, having largely AAAA tracts between the palindromic recognition half-sites, suggesting tight bending of the DNA. The protein structure shows an unusual positively charged surface that could form the basis for wrapping the DNA completely around the C-protein dimer.

    Abstract Crystalline 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-4-O-(bromoacetyl)-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl chloride (5) was prepared from methyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-4-O-(bromoacetyl)-alpha- or -beta-D-galactopyranoside by cleavage with dichloromethyl methyl ether (DCMME) in the presence of zinc chloride. Silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) condensation of 5 with methyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside gave the corresponding beta-linked disaccharide, which was O-de(bromoacetyl)ated and the resulting disaccharide nucleophile condensed with 5. The beta-linked trisaccharide obtained was deprotected, to give the methyl beta-glycoside of (1----4)-beta-linked D-galactotriose. Compound 5 was converted in high yield into the corresponding 1-O-beta-acetyl derivative, which was O-de(bromoacetyl)ated with thiourea to afford crystalline 1-O-acetyl-2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-galactopyranose (9). Condensation of 9 with 5 yielded O-[2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-4-O-(bromoacetyl)-beta-D- galactopyranosyl]-(1----4)-1-O-acetyl-2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D- galactopyranose (17), which was cleaved with DCMME to give the corresponding glycosyl chloride (20). The same sequence of reactions involving 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-galactopyranose and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide afforded O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1----4)-2,3,6-tri-O - benzoyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl chloride, which can be used to construct in an oligosaccharide the terminal, beta-linked (1----4)-beta-D-galactobiosyl group. Compounds 5, 17, and 20, when used as glycosyl donors, allow further chain extension at O-4 of the (terminal) beta-D-galactopyranosyl group. The structures of all mono- and di-saccharide intermediates, including those of orthoesters formed during glycosylations under neutral conditions, were confirmed by combination of homo- and hetero-nuclear-correlation n.m.r. experiments. The sites of glycosidic linkages in orthoesters were directly determined by 1 D INAPT n.m.r. experiments. Characteristic features of the 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectra of orthoesters which distinguish them from the corresponding oligosaccharides have been summarized.
