    Abstract Background: Medical school admission requirements increasingly encompass competencies beyond the traditional premedical curriculum, such as service orientation and knowledge of "social determinants of health."
    Activity: The Stanford Help Desk is an undergraduate service-learning program that provides didactic and experiential exposure to the social determinants of health through screening for social and legal needs of emergency department (ED) patients. We assessed student perceptions of program impact through student applications, course evaluations, and an online program survey.
    Results and discussion: This course strengthened students' understanding of their career aspirations in medicine. Students were resolved to incorporate consideration of social determinants of health in future practice.

    Abstract Our previous study revealed that the miR-199 family (miR-199a-5p/-3p and miR-199b-5p/-3p) acts as tumor-suppressive miRNAs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Furthermore, recent studies have indicated that the passenger strands of miRNAs are involved in cancer pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to identify cancer-promoting genes commonly regulated by miR-199-5p and miR-199-3p in HNSCC cells. Our in silico analysis and luciferase reporter assay identified paxillin (PXN) as a direct target of both miR-199-5p and miR-199-3p in HNSCC cells. Analysis of the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database showed that expression of PXN significantly predicted a worse prognosis (5-year overall survival rate; p = 0.0283). PXN expression was identified as an independent factor predicting patient survival according to multivariate Cox regression analyses (p = 0.0452). Overexpression of PXN was detected in HNSCC clinical specimens by immunostaining. Functional assays in HNSCC cells showed that knockdown of PXN expression attenuated cancer cell migration and invasion, suggesting that aberrant expression of PXN contributed to HNSCC cell aggressiveness. Our miRNA-based approach will provide new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of HNSCC.

    Abstract Background: Breast reconstruction is associated with improved patient well-being after mastectomy; however, factors that contribute to post-surgical dissatisfaction remain poorly characterized.
    Methods: Adult women who underwent post-mastectomy implant-based or autologous breast reconstruction between 2015 and 2019 were recruited to participate in semi-structured interviews regarding their lived experiences with reconstructive care. Participants completed the BREAST-Q, and tabulated scores were used to dichotomize patient-reported outcomes as satisfied or dissatisfied (high or low) for each BREAST-Q domain. A convergent mixed-methods analysis was used to evaluate interviews for content related to satisfaction or dissatisfaction with breast reconstruction.
    Results: Overall, we interviewed 21 women and identified 17 subcodes that corresponded with the five BREAST-Q domains. Sources of dissatisfaction were found to be related to the following domains: (a) low breast satisfaction due to asymmetry, cup size, and lack of sensation and physical feeling (n = 8, 38%); (b) poor sexual well-being due to shape, look and feel (n = 7, 78% [of 9 who discussed sexual well-being]); (c) reduced physical well-being of the chest due to persistent pain and weakness (n = 11, 52%); (d) reduced abdominal well-being due to changes in abdominal strength, numbness, and posture (n = 6, 38% [of 16 who underwent abdominally based reconstruction]); and (e) low psychosocial well-being impacted by an unexpected appearance that negatively influenced self-confidence and self-identity (n = 13, 62%).
    Conclusion: Patients may be unprepared for the physical, sexual, and psychosocial outcomes of breast reconstruction. Targeted strategies to improve preoperative education and shared decision making are needed to mitigate unexpectedness associated with breast reconstruction and related outcomes.

    Abstract Lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysine (Lys) residues in fibrillar collagen telopeptides, a critical post-translational modification for the stability of intermolecular cross-links. Though abnormal LH2 activities have been implicated in various diseases including Bruck syndrome, the molecular basis of the pathologies is still not well understood. Since LH2 null mice die at early embryonic stage, we generated LH2 heterozygous (LH2

    Abstract Management of breast cancer in limited-resource settings is hindered by a lack of low-cost, logistically sustainable approaches toward molecular and cellular diagnostic pathology services that are needed to guide therapy. To address these limitations, we have developed a multimodal cellphone-based platform-the EpiView-D4-that can evaluate both cellular morphology and molecular expression of clinically relevant biomarkers directly from fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of breast tissue specimens within 1 h. The EpiView-D4 is comprised of two components: (1) an immunodiagnostic chip built upon a "non-fouling" polymer brush-coating (the "D4") which quantifies expression of protein biomarkers directly from crude cell lysates, and (2) a custom cellphone-based optical microscope ("EpiView") designed for imaging cytology preparations and D4 assay readout. As a proof-of-concept, we used the EpiView-D4 for assessment of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) expression and validated the performance using cancer cell lines, animal models, and human tissue specimens. We found that FNA cytology specimens (prepared in less than 5 min with rapid staining kits) imaged by the EpiView-D4 were adequate for assessment of lesional cellularity and tumor content. We also found our device could reliably distinguish between HER2 expression levels across multiple different cell lines and animal xenografts. In a pilot study with human tissue (n = 19), we were able to accurately categorize HER2-negative and HER2-positve tumors from FNA specimens. Taken together, the EpiView-D4 offers a promising alternative to invasive-and often unavailable-pathology services and may enable the democratization of effective breast cancer management in limited-resource settings.
