Aprepitant did not modify global disease activity in cutaneous T cell lymphomas

Abstract

Recent investigations are focused on the potential antitumor effect of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) antagonists in different neoplastic diseases1. Consequently, Kwatra et al. raised an interesting observation about the possible influence of aprepitant on CTCL outcome2.

Effects of neuroimmune axis modulation by aprepitant on anti-pruritic and global disease severity in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

Abstract

Itch pathogenesis involves modulation of the neuroimmune axis, with several immunosuppressants such as azathioprine1 and mycophenolate mofetil2 demonstrating significant anti-pruritic activity in subsets of patients with pruritus. These immunosuppressive agents are contraindicated in patients with malignancy, and thus there is a need for novel anti-pruritic agents without significant immunosuppressive effects in neoplastic conditions such as cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL).

Encoding of Auditory Temporal Gestalt in the Human Brain

Abstract
The perception of an acoustic rhythm is invariant to the absolute temporal intervals constituting a sound sequence. It is unknown where in the brain temporal Gestalt, the percept emerging from the relative temporal proximity between acoustic events, is encoded. Two different relative temporal patterns, each induced by three experimental conditions with different absolute temporal patterns as sensory basis, were presented to participants. A linear support vector machine classifier was trained to differentiate activation patterns in functional magnetic resonance imaging data to the 2 different percepts. Across the sensory constituents the classifier decoded which percept was perceived. A searchlight analysis localized activation patterns specific to the temporal Gestalt bilaterally to the temporoparietal junction, including the planum temporale and supramarginal gyrus, and unilaterally to the right inferior frontal gyrus (pars opercularis). We show that auditory areas not only process absolute temporal intervals, but also integrate them into percepts of Gestalt and that encoding of these percepts persists in high-level associative areas. The findings complement existing knowledge regarding the processing of absolute temporal patterns to the processing of relative temporal patterns relevant to the sequential binding of perceptual elements into Gestalt.

Neural Evidence for the Contribution of Active Suppression During Working Memory Filtering

Abstract
In order to efficiently process incoming visual information, selective attention acts as a filter that enhances relevant and suppresses irrelevant information. In this study, we used an event-related potential (ERP) approach with systematic lateralization to investigate enhancement and suppression during encoding of information into visual working memory (WM) separately. We used a change detection task in which observers had to memorize some items while ignoring other items. We found that the to-be-ignored items elicited a PD component in the ERP, suggesting that irrelevant information is actively suppressed from WM. The PD amplitude increased with distractor load and decreased with the ability to group distractors according to Gestalt principles. This suggests that the PD can be used as an indicator of how efficiently items can be suppressed from entering WM. Furthermore, while lateral memory-targets elicited a "traditional" CDA (starting ~300 ms), lateral memory-distractors elicited a sustained positivity contralateral to memory-distractors (CDAp, starting ~400 ms). In sum the results suggest that inhibition of irrelevant information is an important factor for efficient WM and is reflected in spontaneous (PD) and sustained suppression (CDAp).

Neonatal Hypoxia–Ischemia Causes Functional Circuit Changes in Subplate Neurons

Abstract
Neonatal hypoxia–ischemia (HI) in the preterm human results in damage to subcortical developing white matter and cognitive impairments. Subplate neurons (SPNs) are among the first-born cortical neurons and are necessary for normal cerebral development. While moderate or severe HI at P1 in rats leads to SPN loss, it is unclear if HI, esp. forms not associated with overt cell loss lead to altered SPN circuits. Thus, we used two HI models with different severities in P1 rats. Cauterization of the common carotid artery (CCA) causes a largely transient and thus milder ischemia (HI-Caut) while CCA ligation causes more severe ischemia (HI-Lig). While HI-Lig caused subplate damage, HI-Caut did not cause overt histological damage on the light microscopic level. We used laser-scanning photostimulation (LSPS) in acute thalamocortical slices of auditory cortex during P5–10 to study the functional connectivity of SPNs. Both HI categories resulted in hyperconnectivity of excitatory and inhibitory circuits to SPNs. Thus, alterations on the circuit level are present in the absence of cell loss. Our results show that SPN circuits are uniquely susceptible to HI. Given the key developmental role of SPNs, our results suggest that altered SPN circuits might underlie the abnormal development of cortical function after HI.

Knowledge of performance feedback among boys with ADHD

S08914222.gif

Publication date: March 2018
Source:Research in Developmental Disabilities, Volume 74
Author(s): Jason C. Bishop, Luke E. Kelly, Michael Hull
BackgroundChildren with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience delays in acquiring competence completing fundamental motor skills. The effects of augmented prescriptive knowledge of performance feedback (PKP) have not been explored as a possible component solution.AimsThe purpose of this study was to test the motor learning effects of KP among boys with ADHD.Methods and proceduresThirty-one boys with ADHD, randomly selected into either a treatment or a control group, completed a series of cornhole games. It was hypothesized that PKP feedback administered to treatment group participants would increase motor learning. Dependent variables included cornhole scores and quality of performance measures.Outcomes and resultsBoth groups improved in cornhole scores and improvement was not dependent upon KP. Treatment group participants performed significantly better in quality of performance of the underhand toss compared to the control group.Conclusions and implicationsPKP feedback improves motor skill performance learning among children with ADHD above knowledge of results feedback only. Recreational program directors should consider using KP feedback when teaching motor skills to boys with ADHD.

Accelerating exploitation of Co-Al-based superalloys from theoretical study

Publication date: 15 March 2018
Source:Materials & Design, Volume 142
Author(s): W.W. Xu, S.L. Shang, C.P. Wang, T.Q. Gang, Y.F. Huang, L.J. Chen, X.J. Liu, Z.K. Liu
The discovery of γ′-Co3(Al,W) opens up a pathway to exploit novel Co-Al-based alloys as candidates of the next generation of superalloys. Inspired by the unexpected finding of γ′-Co3(Al,W), we present a comprehensive investigation concerning the effect of alloying elements on phase stabilities and mechanical properties of Co3Al. Up to 22 transition metal elements, e.g. Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, and Pt, are considered. Results show that W, Ti, Re, V, and Ta favor to occupy the Al-sublattice. Pd, Pt, Rh, Ni, Ir, Fe, and Ru favor to occupy the Co-sublattice. The others can occupy both the Co- and Al-sublattices. W, Ta, V, Ti, Nb, Re, Mo, Pt, and Cr are shown to stabilize Co3Al. It verifies that elastic properties are roughly in inverse proportional to the volume change induced by alloying elements within each group of 3d, 4d, or 5d. Based on the analysis of electronic configurations, the influence mechanism of alloying elements is traceable from the chemical bonding and the geometry of charge density. The present calculations are in favorable accord with available experimental data in the literature.
