    Abstract The dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) is the current gold standard biomarker of the timing of the central circadian clock in humans and is often assessed from saliva samples. To date, only one commercially available salivary melatonin assay is considered accurate at the low daytime levels required to accurately detect the DLMO (Novolytix RIA RK-DSM2). The aim of this study was to conduct the first independent evaluation of a newly improved enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; Novolytix MLTN-96) and compare it with the recommended radioimmunoassay (RIA)-both in terms of melatonin concentrations and derived DLMOs. Twenty participants (15 females, 18-59 years old) provided saliva samples every 30 min in dim light starting 6 h before their habitual bedtime, yielding a total of 260 saliva samples. Both the RIA and ELISA yielded daytime melatonin concentrations <2 pg/mL, indicating adequate accuracy to detect the DLMO. The melatonin concentrations from the two assays were highly correlated (r = .94, p < .001), although the RIA yielded lower levels of melatonin concentration than the ELISA, on average by 0.70 pg/mL (p = .006). Seventeen DLMOs were calculated from the melatonin profiles and the DLMOs from both assays were not statistically different (p = .36) and were highly correlated (r = .97, p < .001). Two DLMOs derived from the RIA occurred more than 30 min earlier than the DLMO derived from the ELISA. These results indicate that the new Novolytix ELISA is an appropriate assay to use if the Novolytix RIA is not feasible or available.

    Abstract Biomaterial scaffolds in tissue engineering facilitate tissue regeneration and integration with the host. Poor healing outcomes arise from lack of cell and tissue infiltration, and ill-fitting interfaces between matrices or grafts, resulting in fibrous tissue formation, inflammation, and resorption. Existing tissue engineering scaffolds struggle to recover from deformation to fit irregularly shaped defects encountered in clinical settings without compromising their mechanical properties and favorable internal architecture. This study introduces a synthetic biomaterial scaffold composed of high molecular weight poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and an interpenetrating network of poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL), in a composition aiming to address the need for conformal fitting synthetic matrices which retain and recover their advantageous morphologies. The scaffold, known as thermosensitive memorized microstructure (TS-MMS), forms nanofibrous materials with memorized microstructures capable of recovery after deformation, including macropores and nanofibers. TS-MMS nanofibers, with 50-500 nm diameters, are formed via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) of PLLA after

    Abstract Background: Immunotherapies have changed the landscape of late-stage melanoma; however, data evaluating timely access to immunotherapy are lacking.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study utilizing the National Cancer Database was conducted. Stage III and IV melanoma cases diagnosed between 2011 and 2018 that received systemic treatment with either immunotherapy or chemotherapy were included. Chemotherapy included BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Multivariable logistic regression models were utilized to evaluate factors associated with the likelihood of receiving immunotherapy as primary systemic treatment relative to chemotherapy; additionally, Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to incorporate time from diagnosis to primary systemic therapy into the analysis.
    Results: The study population was comprised of 14,446 cases. The cohort included 12,053 (83.4%) immunotherapy and 2393 (16.6%) chemotherapy cases. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, factors significantly associated with immunotherapy receipt included population density, circle distance, year of diagnosis, Breslow thickness, and cancer stage. Immunotherapy timing was evaluated using multivariable Cox regression analysis. Minorities were less likely to receive timely immunotherapy than non-Hispanic Whites (HR 0.83, CI 0.74-0.93, p = 0.001). Patients at circle distances of 10-49 miles (HR 0.94, CI 0.89-0.99, p = 0.02) and ≥50 miles (HR 0.83, CI 0.77-0.90, p < 0.001) were less likely to receive timely immunotherapy.
    Conclusion: Patients traveling ≥10 miles and minorities have a decreased likelihood of receiving timely immunotherapy administration for primary systemic treatment. Future research is needed to identify what barriers and approaches can be leveraged to address these inequities.

    Abstract Seasonal changes, such as alterations in food availability or type and cold conditions, present challenges to free-living birds living in highly seasonal climates. Small birds respond to such challenges through seasonal metabolic flexibility, which better matches seasonal metabolic phenotypes to environmental conditions and can improve fitness. To better understand the mechanistic basis of this metabolic flexibility, we conducted a large-scale metabolic profiling of pectoralis muscle in black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) and American goldfinches (Spinus tristis), which are small, year-round bird species of temperate-zones. We analyzed muscle samples using non-biased, global metabolomics profiling technology based on UHLC/MS/MS2 platforms. A total of 582 metabolites was characterized for summer and winter season samples. Chickadees showed greater seasonal separation of global metabolite profiles than goldfinches, which is consistent with previous transcriptomic studies of pectoralis muscle in these two species. Reduced levels of amino acids during winter occurred in both species and might reflect decreasing dietary protein intake, amino acid shuttling to other pathways for thermogenesis and/or elevated rates of protein turnover in the pectoralis muscle. Concomitant decreased abundances in tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) metabolites suggest faster cycling of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway in winter to meet the metabolic demands of thermogenesis. Accordingly, chickadees displayed shifts toward lipid oxidation in winter, whereas goldfinches showed winter declines in ketone bodies, which suggests increased energy demand or subtle changes in substrate availability. Beyond the winter-specific changes in metabolite abundances, integration of the metabolomic and the transcriptomic data revealed a landscape of gene–metabolite associations related to the winter-adaptive metabolic response. This landscape of gene–metabolite pairs was overrepresented by pathways associated with transport of small molecules, metabolism of amino acids and derivatives, activation and biosynthesis of fatty acid derivatives, and biosynthesis and metabolism of nicotinate and nicotinamide derivatives. Collectively, our results suggest that increased levels of NADH and its derivatives in the pectoralis muscle are a potential novel mechanism for increasing winter metabolic output, fueled by lipids, for thermogenesis during winter.

    Abstract Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes substantial respiratory disease. Bivalent RSV prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine is licensed in ≥60-year-olds. RSVpreF was well-tolerated and immunogenic in a phase 1/2 study. We evaluated antibody persistence after initial vaccination and safety and immunogenicity after revaccination from this study.
    Methods: Healthy adults were randomized to receive both initial vaccination and revaccination 12 months later with either placebo or RSVpreF 240 µg (±Al(OH)3). RSV-A and RSV-B geometric mean neutralizing titers (GMTs) were measured through 12 months after both vaccinations. Tolerability/safety was assessed.
    Results: There were 263 participants revaccinated (18-49-years-old, n=134; 65-85-years-old, n=129). Among 18-49-year-olds and 65-85-year-olds, respectively, geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) for both RSV subgroups (RSV-A; RSV-B) 1 month after initial RSVpreF vaccination were 13.3-20.4 and 8.9-15.5 compared with levels before initial vaccination; corresponding GMFRs 12 months after initial vaccination were 4.1-5.0 and 2.6-4.1. GMFRs 1 month after revaccination compared with levels before revaccination were 1.4-2.3 and 1.4-2.2 for 18-49-year-olds and 65-85-year-olds, respectively. Peak GMTs after revaccination were lower than those after initial vaccination. GMTs 12 months after initial vaccination and revaccination were similar, with GMFRs ranging from 0.7-1.6. No safety signals occurred.
    Conclusions: RSVpreF revaccination was immunogenic and well-tolerated among adults. NCT03529773.
