    Abstract Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of septic kidney injury; however, the sites and mechanisms of renal TNF-α production during sepsis remain to be defined. In the present study, we showed that TNF-α expression is increased in medullary thick ascending limbs (MTALs) of mice with sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture. Treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 3 h in vitro also increased MTAL TNF-α production. Sepsis and LPS increased MTAL TNF-α expression through activation of the myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)-IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1-ERK signaling pathway. Pretreatment with monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), a nontoxic immunomodulator that protects against bacterial infection, eliminated the sepsis- and LPS-induced increases in MTAL TNF-α production. The suppressive effect of MPLA on TNF-α was mediated through activation of a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent pathway that inhibits MyD88-dependent ERK activation. This likely involves MPLA-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-mediated induction of Tollip, which negatively regulates the MyD88-ERK pathway by inhibiting activation of IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1. These regulatory mechanisms are similar to those previously shown to mediate the effect of MPLA to prevent sepsis-induced inhibition of MTAL [Formula: see text] absorption. These results identify the MTAL as a site of local TNF-α production in the kidney during sepsis and identify molecular mechanisms that can be targeted to attenuate renal TNF-α expression. The ability of MPLA pretreatment to suppress MyD88-dependent ERK signaling in the MTAL during sepsis has the dual beneficial effects of protecting tubule transport functions and attenuating harmful proinflammatory responses.

    Abstract Purpose: To report 2-year ocular and developmental outcomes for infants receiving low doses of intravitreal bevacizumab for type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
    Methods: A total of 120 premature infants (mean birthweight, 687 g; mean gestational age, 24.8 weeks) with type 1 ROP were enrolled in a multicenter, phase 1 dose de-escalation study. One eye per infant received 0.25 mg, 0.125 mg, 0.063 mg, 0.031 mg, 0.016 mg, 0.008 mg, 0.004 mg, or 0.002 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab; fellow eyes when treated received one dosage level higher. At 2 years, 70 of 120 children (58%) underwent ocular examinations; 51 (43%) were assessed using the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development.
    Results: Correlation coefficients for the association of total dosage of bevacizumab with Bayley subscales were -0.20 for cognitive (95% CI, -0.45 to 0.08), -0.15 for motor (95% CI, -0.41 to 0.14), and -0.19 for language (95% CI, -0.44 to 0.10). Fourteen children (21%) had myopia greater than -5.00 D in one or both eyes, 7 (10%) had optic nerve atrophy and/or cupping, 20 (29%) had strabismus, 8 (11%) had manifest nystagmus, and 9 (13%) had amblyopia.
    Conclusions: In this study cohort, there was no statistically significant correlation between dosage of bevacizumab and Bayley scores at 2 years. However, the sample size was small and the retention rate relatively low, limiting our conclusions. Rates of high myopia and ocular abnormalities do not differ from those reported after larger bevacizumab doses.

    Abstract On 2 July 2015, the killing of a lion nicknamed "Cecil" prompted the largest global reaction in the history of wildlife conservation. In response to this, it is propitious to consider the ways in which this moment can be developed into a financial movement to transform the conservation of species such as the lion that hold cultural significance and sentiment but whose numbers in the wild are dwindling dangerously. This provocative piece explores how a species royalty could be used effectively by drawing revenue from the heavy symbolic use of charismatic animals in affluent economies. This would, in turn, reduce strain on limited government funds in threatened animals' native homelands. Three potential areas of lucrative animal symbolism-fashion, sports mascots, and national animals-provide examples of the kind of revenue that could be created from a species royalty. These examples also demonstrate how this royalty could prove to be a desirable means by which both corporations and consumers could positively develop their desired selves while simultaneously contributing to a relevant and urgent cause. These examples intend to ignite a multi-disciplinary conversation on the global cultural economy's use of endangered species symbols. An overhaul in perspective and practice is needed because time is running out for much of the wildlife and their ecosystems that embellish products and embody anthropocentric business identities.
