    Abstract Myasthenia gravis is (MG) a prototypic autoimmune disease; the immune effector mechanisms and autoantigenic target have been delineated. However, the events that lead to the abrogation of self-tolerance to neuromuscular acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) remain a mystery. The thymus gland has long been considered to hold the key to solving this mystery, although the nature of its involvement remains to be elucidated. The nAChR was one of the first self-proteins associated with a defined autoimmune disease that was found to be expressed on thymic stromal populations. The studies described herein represent our efforts to determine how this "promiscuous" autoantigen expression may be involved in the immunopathogenesis of MG. We review our work, characterizing the expression of the nAChR alpha subunit in the thymus, and advance a hypothesis and experimental model, which explore how intrathymic expression of this autoantigen may contribute to the immunopathogenesis of this autoimmune disease.

    Abstract Purpose: Because clinical specialists often lack time and training to address secondary health issues such as smoking cessation, the National Cancer Institute Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) has mobilized cancer centers to develop systems for treating patients' tobacco dependence.
    Methods: One university-based cancer center was able to develop a program that formalized smoking treatment using a collaborative, multidisciplinary care team with overlapping expertise in cancer care, medication management, and tobacco cessation. Program planners delivered tobacco cessation services in the outpatient setting by automating identification of eligible patients using a tobacco registry in the electronic health records, directly involving oncology pharmacists in medication oversight, using dedicated tobacco treatment specialists to provide cessation services, and engaging oncologists through active communications protocols. Evaluators used Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model as the guiding framework for a qualitative assessment of program development and implementation. Evaluators also measured provider satisfaction and utilization of services, program reach, and smoking cessation outcomes 6 months post enrollment.
    Results: During the evaluation period (July 1, 2018-September 30, 2019), the smoking cessation program engaged 96% of eligible patients (n = 214 of 223 eligible); 82% of those enrolled in the program (n = 183). At 6-month follow-up, 29.1% of enrolled patients self-reported 30-day point prevalence abstinence (n = 53) and 34.9% (n = 64) reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence (intent-to-treat rates).
    Conclusion: Using a team-based approach that leverages individual expertise and interprofessional collaboration to provide patient-centered treatment, a smoking cessation program can identify and treat eligible patients in specialty clinics.

  6. Article ; Online: Nicotine Sales to Minors: Store-Level Comparison of E-Cigarette Versus Cigarette Violation Rates.

    Abstract Introduction: In recent years, e-cigarettes overtook cigarettes as the leading tobacco product used by US adolescents. Most states, as well as federal regulations, have added e-cigarettes to laws prohibiting tobacco products sales to minors. We tested compliance with the newer regulation among Colorado urban retail businesses, speculating that violations might be more common for e-cigarettes than smokable cigarettes.
    Methods: Supervised minors visited a random sample of urban businesses and sequentially attempted to purchase an e-cigarette product and cigarettes. The protocol prescribed that the same minor make both attempts in each business, separated by at least a day to minimize influence of the first result on the second result. Data were collected during May 2014-January 2015.
    Results: Among 238 businesses, more than one-fourth (26.1%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 18.9%-33.2%) sold at least one type of product, and 6.3% (CI, 1.8%-10.8%) sold both types. Violation rates were similar for e-cigarette products and cigarettes (17.6% vs. 14.7%, p = n.s.).
    Conclusion: Enforcement to prevent retail tobacco sales to adolescents should include e-cigarette products. Dual testing of stores indicates that single visits underestimate the problem of underage tobacco sales.
    Implications: Adolescents can buy e-cigarettes from retail stores as easily as they buy cigarettes. Enforcement of tobacco sales laws should include e-cigarettes, and test-retest protocols are needed to estimate the true extent of the problem.

    Abstract Objective: We estimated the proportion of U.S. smokers who have low socioeconomic status (SES).
    Methods: We used 2012 data from a national supplement to The Attitudes and Behaviors Survey on Health (TABS), a periodic population survey of Colorado adults. We estimated smoking prevalence and total smokers by education, poverty level, occupation, health insurance status, and combinations of these factors.
    Results: Smoking prevalence across low-SES categories ranged from 24.3% to 42.6%. Combining low-SES categories with the highest smoking prevalence accounted for 31.1% of U.S. adults but half (50.1%) of smokers. Combining all low-SES categories regardless of smoking prevalence accounted for roughly half (53.3%) of adults but nearly three-fourths (72.2%) of smokers.
    Conclusions: A majority of continuing U.S. smokers have low SES. Further progress against the U.S. cigarette epidemic depends on focusing tobacco research and program initiatives on reaching and engaging these smokers in cessation strategies that work for them.

    Abstract Aim: The term
    Subject and methods: Colorado adults were asked questions about self-reported access to healthy food, likelihood of buying fresh fruits and vegetables from convenience/corner stores if available, perceived characteristics of fruits and vegetables available for purchase near respondents' residence, and demographics.
    Results: A majority of Colorado adults in 2013-14 reported wanting fresh fruits and vegetables to be more available, more varied, higher quality, and/or less expensive. Socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, and regular shopping habits were significantly associated with reported likelihood of purchasing fruits and vegetables from a convenience/corner store if available.
    Conclusion: Factors other than proximity to a grocery store affect Colorado adults' perceived access to healthy food options and should be considered in the development and implementation of public health programs and policies geared toward improving healthy food access.

    Abstract Infectious complications of the lung occur quite frequently in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), a clinical syndrome that represents a primary immunodeficiency. However, there appears to be noninfectious pulmonary complications in association with CVID as well, and recently the term granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) has been created to describe these noninfectious, diffuse lung disease complications that develop in CVID patients. They exhibit both granulomatous and lymphoproliferative histologic patterns, consisting of lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP), follicular bronchiolitis, and lymphoid hyperplasia. There are many unanswered questions surrounding this relatively unstudied entity. In an attempt to answer some of these questions, this review discusses in detail pathologic and clinical features of GLILD and its proposed pathogenesis with a particular attention to potential role of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). Lastly, therapeutic approach is discussed to generate novel treatment strategy to better care for a subgroup of CVID patients afflicted with this entity.
