    Abstract Structural determination of the ABCC4 transporter is a major first step in providing crucial molecular insights into the transport of platelet substrates into granules, as well as drug transport from platelets. The findings provide a framework for understanding platelet interactions and potential design of specific platelet antagonists.

    Abstract Aging is intrinsically linked with physiologic decline and is a major risk factor for a broad range of diseases. The deleterious effects of advancing age on the vascular system are evidenced by the high incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Reactive oxygen species are critical mediators of normal vascular physiology and have been shown to gradually increase in the vasculature with age. There is a growing appreciation for the complexity of oxidant and antioxidant systems at the cellular and molecular levels, and accumulating evidence indicates a causal association between oxidative stress and age-related vascular disease. Herein, we review the current understanding of mechanistic links between oxidative stress and thrombotic vascular disease and the changes that occur with aging. While several vascular cells are key contributors, we focus on oxidative changes that occur in platelets and their mediation in disease progression. Additionally, we discuss the impact of comorbid conditions (i.e., diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity, cancer, etc.) that have been associated with platelet redox dysregulation and vascular disease pathogenesis. As we continue to unravel the fundamental redox mechanisms of the vascular system, we will be able to develop more targeted therapeutic strategies for the prevention and management of age-associated vascular disease.

    Abstract Objectives: Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is historically associated with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infections in more than 80% of patients. However, the incidence of HP-negative MALT lymphoma has been increasing. The clinicopathologic features have not been well studied, and optimal management strategies remain unclear.
    Methods: The pathology database was searched for primary gastric MALT lymphomas diagnosed from 2000 to 2017. The clinical data and the slides were reviewed. The cases were divided for analysis into those with a background of chronic gastritis with HP, chronic gastritis without HP, and without either a background of chronic gastritis or HP.
    Results: Of 70 gastric MALT lymphoma cases identified, 26 (37% of total) had chronic gastritis and were positive for HP histologically (n = 23) or were HP positive by additional laboratory testing (n = 3). The remaining 44 (63% of total) cases were HP negative by histology. Within the HP-negative cases, 5 (11% of HP-negative cases) showed histologic gastritis while 39 (89% of HP-negative cases) did not have sufficient evidence of gastritis through review of slides (n = 18) or based on available pathology reports (n = 21). The HP-negative cases without gastritis had higher propensities to show a mass lesion on endoscopy compared with HP-positive cases (37.5% vs 11.1%, P = .02) at the initial diagnosis. The immunophenotype and rate of positive B-cell gene rearrangement were not significantly different between the 2 groups. While all HP-positive patients received antibiotics for HP eradication, treatment in the HP-negative group varied among antibiotics, radiation, rituximab, or chemotherapy. Among HP-negative patients with available follow-up, 13 (39%) showed disease recurrence, similar to the recurrence rate in HP-positive patients; however, no individual from either group has died of the disease thus far.
    Conclusions: The incidence of HP-negative MALT lymphoma is increasing, and in our practice, it is currently more common than HP-associated MALT lymphomas. The pathophysiology of HP-negative MALT lymphoma without chronic gastritis remains unclear. Follow-up data in our study suggest that the prognosis of these cases is excellent despite varied management modalities.

    Abstract The hemostatic response to vascular injury culminates in a fibrin clot network that forms an initial barrier to blood loss and also contributes to microbial host defense. Fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin into fibrin monomers that spontaneously polymerize into protofibrils and form the extensive fiber networks characteristic of blood clots. In this issue of the JCI, Macrae and colleagues characterize an alternative fibrin structure in which fibrinogen and fibrin assemble into a continuous 2D film at the exterior face of the fibrin clot network. Fibrin films connect to the underlying fiber network through tethering fibers and provide a protective barrier to microbial infiltration. These findings shed new light on a previously overlooked mechanism of fibrin assembly at the clot surface and provide a link between hemostasis and innate immunity.

    Abstract Introduction: Speaker diarization is an essential preprocessing step for diagnosing cognitive impairments from speech-based Montreal cognitive assessments (MoCA).
    Methods: This paper proposes three enhancements to the conventional speaker diarization methods for such assessments. The enhancements tackle the challenges of diarizing MoCA recordings on two fronts. First, multi-scale channel interdependence speaker embedding is used as the front-end speaker representation for overcoming the acoustic mismatch caused by far-field microphones. Specifically, a squeeze-and-excitation (SE) unit and channel-dependent attention are added to Res2Net blocks for multi-scale feature aggregation. Second, a sequence comparison approach with a holistic view of the whole conversation is applied to measure the similarity of short speech segments in the conversation, which results in a speaker-turn aware scoring matrix for the subsequent clustering step. Third, to further enhance the diarization performance, we propose incorporating a pairwise similarity measure so that the speaker-turn aware scoring matrix contains both local and global information across the segments.
    Results: Evaluations on an interactive MoCA dataset show that the proposed enhancements lead to a diarization system that outperforms the conventional x-vector/PLDA systems under language-, age-, and microphone-mismatch scenarios.
    Discussion: The results also show that the proposed enhancements can help hypothesize the speaker-turn timestamps, making the diarization method amendable to datasets without timestamp information.
