RESUMO

As national HIV prevention goals aim to increase the proportion of persons living with HIV, determining existing disparities in retention in care will allow for targeted intervention. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify existing disparities in retention in care. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 guided this systematic review. Electronic databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Sociological Collection, PsychInfo, and Cab Direct/Global Health, were systematically searched and twenty studies were included. This review identified disparities in retention in care that have been documented by race, gender, age, HIV exposure, incarceration history, place of birth, and U.S. geographic location. Research is necessary to further identify existing disparities in retention in care and to better understand determinants of health disparities. Additionally, interventions must be tailored to meet the needs of health disparate populations and should be assessed to determine their effectiveness in reducing health disparities.

RESUMO

The t(9;22)(q11.2;q34) translocation is found in a subset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The presence of this translocation involving the fusion of BCR/ABL genes represents a poor prognostic group. Because of the importance in detecting t(9;22) in ALL patients and because occasionally a cytogenetically cryptic BCR/ABL fusion is detected with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), our laboratory routinely performs BCR/ABL FISH tests on all newly diagnosed ALL patients. In the past year, 25 consecutive, newly diagnosed, untreated ALL cases were analyzed. We report the cytogenetics and FISH findings of three cases containing a rearranged 9q34 region with an intact BCR (22q11.2) region and an absence of the BCR/ABL fusion. A split ABL signal representing a translocation of the 9q34 region with chromosome segments other than 22q11.2 (BCR) was observed in 3 cases. Two of these patients were 3 years old; one was 21 at the time of diagnosis. A split ABL FISH signal without the involvement of BCR does not represent a t(9;22) translocation, and prognostic implications of this apparent subgroup of ALL cases have not been determined. Cytogenetic, pathologic, and clinical aspects of these three cases are presented.

RESUMO

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common subtype of adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), is infrequently seen in adolescents and is rare in children. Due to the infrequency of the disease, single institution-based cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies of pediatric DLBCL have not been reported so far and, hence, the possible differences in pediatric and adult DLBCL have not been evaluated. We performed cytogenetic and FISH analyses of 7 pediatric and 5 young adult DLBCL cases referred to the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Karyotypic studies revealed numeric and structural chromosome abnormalities in all cases. Loss of chromosomes 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 15, 16, and 17, and gain of 12, 18, and X were observed in more than 20% of the cases (#10878;3 cases). Sex chromosome abnormalities and cytogenetically unidentifiable chromosomes and/or segments were observed in 80% (10/12) of the cases. Recurrent breakpoints (observed in 3 or more cases) included 14q32 (IGH) and 17p13 (TP53), which clustered in the young adult group. The breakpoints 7q36, 9p24, 13q34, and 16q24 were noted in two cases each. We performed interphase FISH studies to verify the possible rearrangements of the breakpoints that are frequently implicated in adult DLBCL. Our results confirmed that the pediatric cases did not show rearrangements of 3q27 (BCL6), 14q32 (IGH), 18q21 (BCL2), 8q24 (CMYC), and 17p13 (TP53), except for one case with IGH;BCL2 dual fusion [t(14;18)(q32;q21)] and one with a 17p13 (TP53) deletion. Although 3q27 was noted to be rearranged by conventional cytogenetics in two young adult DLBCL cases, FISH investigations verified that BCL6 was not disrupted. The t(8;14)(q24;q32) with rearranged CMYC ascertained by FISH, was observed in a single young adult DLBCL case. These results highlight a distinctly different representation of cytogenetic abnormalities in pediatric versus adult DLBCL.

RESUMO

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a phospholipid that has extracellular signaling properties mediated by G protein-coupled receptors. Two LPA receptors, LPA(1) and LPA(2), are expressed in the embryonic cerebral cortex, suggesting roles for LPA signaling in cortical formation. Here we report that intact cerebral cortices exposed to extracellular LPA ex vivo rapidly increased in width and produced folds resembling gyri, which are not normally present in mouse brains and are absent in LPA(1) LPA(2) double-null mice. Mechanistically, growth was not due to increased proliferation but rather to receptor-dependent reduced cell death and increased terminal mitosis of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Our results implicate extracellular lipid signals as new influences on brain formation during embryonic development.
