AUT00063 and AUT00202 are novel pharmaceutical modulators of the Kv3 subfamily of voltage-gated K+ channels. Kv3.1 channels, which control fast firing of many central auditory neurons, have been shown to decline with age and this may contribute to age-related deficits in central auditory processing. In the present study, the effects of the two novel compounds that specifically modulate Kv3 channels on auditory temporal processing were examined in aged (19-25-month-old) and young-adult (3-5 month-old) Fischer 344 rats (F344) using a behavioral gap-prepulse inhibition (gap-PPI) paradigm. The acoustic startle response (ASR) and its inhibition induced by a gap in noise were measured before and after drug administration. Hearing thresholds in tested rats were evaluated by the auditory brainstem response (ABR). Aged F344 rats had significantly higher ABR thresholds, lower amplitudes of ASR, and weaker gap-PPI compared with young-adult rats. No influence of AUT00063 and AUT00202 administration was observed on ABR hearing thresholds in rats of both age groups. AUT00063 and AUT00202 had suppressive effect on ASR of F344 rats that was more pronounced with AUT00063. The degree of suppression depended on the dose and age of the rats. Both compounds significantly improved the gap-PPI performance in gap detection tests in aged rats. These results indicate that AUT00063 and AUT00202 may influence intrinsic firing properties of neurons in the central auditory system of aged animals and have the potential to treat aged-related hearing disorders.

BACKGROUND: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is typically treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP). However, only 60% of patients are cured with R-CHOP. Polatuzumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting CD79b, which is ubiquitously expressed on the surface of malignant B cells. METHODS: We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, international phase 3 trial to evaluate a modified regimen of R-CHOP (pola-R-CHP), in which vincristine was replaced with polatuzumab vedotin, as compared with standard R-CHOP, in patients with previously untreated intermediate-risk or high-risk DLBCL. Patients 18 to 80 years of age were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive six cycles of either pola-R-CHP or R-CHOP, plus two cycles of rituximab alone. The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival. Secondary end points included overall survival and safety. RESULTS: Overall, 879 patients underwent randomization: 440 were assigned to the pola-R-CHP group and 439 to the R-CHOP group. After a median follow-up of 28.2 months, the percentage of patients surviving without progression was significantly higher in the pola-R-CHP group than in the R-CHOP group (76.7% [95% confidence interval (CI), 72.7 to 80.8] vs. 70.2% [95% CI, 65.8 to 74.6] at 2 years; stratified hazard ratio for progression, relapse, or death, 0.73 by Cox regression; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.95; P = 0.02). Overall survival at 2 years did not differ significantly between the groups (88.7% [95% CI, 85.7 to 91.6] in the pola-R-CHP group and 88.6% [95% CI, 85.6 to 91.6] in the R-CHOP group; hazard ratio for death, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.37; P = 0.75). The safety profile was similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with previously untreated intermediate-risk or high-risk DLBCL, the risk of disease progression, relapse, or death was lower among those who received pola-R-CHP than among those who received R-CHOP.

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphoma subtype and is clinically aggressive. To identify genetic susceptibility loci for DLBCL, we conducted a meta-analysis of 3 new genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and 1 previous scan, totaling 3,857 cases and 7,666 controls of European ancestry, with additional genotyping of 9 promising SNPs in 1,359 cases and 4,557 controls. In our multi-stage analysis, five independent SNPs in four loci achieved genome-wide significance marked by rs116446171 at 6p25.3 (EXOC2; P = 2.33 × 10(-21)), rs2523607 at 6p21.33 (HLA-B; P = 2.40 × 10(-10)), rs79480871 at 2p23.3 (NCOA1; P = 4.23 × 10(-8)) and two independent SNPs, rs13255292 and rs4733601, at 8q24.21 (PVT1; P = 9.98 × 10(-13) and 3.63 × 10(-11), respectively). These data provide substantial new evidence for genetic susceptibility to this B cell malignancy and point to pathways involved in immune recognition and immune function in the pathogenesis of DLBCL.

Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) is widely used to detect gene rearrangements and quantitate gene expression in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but its utility and accuracy in identifying copy number variations (CNVs) has not been well described. CNV information inferred from RNA-seq can be highly informative to guide disease classification and risk stratification in ALL due to the high incidence of aneuploid subtypes within this disease. Here we describe RNAseqCNV, a method to detect large scale CNVs from RNA-seq data. We used models based on normalized gene expression and minor allele frequency to classify arm level CNVs with high accuracy in ALL (99.1% overall and 98.3% for non-diploid chromosome arms, respectively), and the models were further validated with excellent performance in acute myeloid leukemia (accuracy 99.8% overall and 99.4% for non-diploid chromosome arms). RNAseqCNV outperforms alternative RNA-seq based algorithms in calling CNVs in the ALL dataset, especially in samples with a high proportion of CNVs. The CNV calls were highly concordant with DNA-based CNV results and more reliable than conventional cytogenetic-based karyotypes. RNAseqCNV provides a method to robustly identify copy number alterations in the absence of DNA-based analyses, further enhancing the utility of RNA-seq to classify ALL subtype.

In March 2022, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and emended. The phylum was expanded by two new families (bunyaviral Discoviridae and Tulasviridae), 41 new genera, and 98 new species. Three hundred forty-nine species were renamed and/or moved. The accidentally misspelled names of seven species were corrected. This article presents the updated taxonomy of Negarnaviricota as now accepted by the ICTV.

To critically evaluate the benefit/risk ratio of some strategies for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTE) RECENT FINDINGS: A growing body of evidence shows that graduated elastic stockings are not effective in medical patients. Special surgical settings as bariatric surgery deserve attention with a high VTE risk and no evidence-based data with regard to prophylaxis. Extended prophylaxis is being evaluated in these patients, whereas its efficacy has been demonstrated in abdominal and pelvic surgery for cancer. New oral anticoagulants are about to change the clinical landscape but yet some issues are not solved: no antidote, no monitoring, no standardization for the perioperative bridging in patients with therapeutic doses. In addition, they have not been tested in fragile patients in whom an increased bleeding risk could be feared. Finally, a large bunch of guidelines are now available to help the physician in the decision-making process. SUMMARY: Studies evaluating the benefit/risk ratio of graduated elastic stockings should now take place in surgery. Increasing and splitting the anticoagulant dose (mainly low molecular weight heparins) by two injections a day could be recommended in bariatric surgery and morbidly obese patients. New anticoagulant agents should also be tested in special populations, following the European Medicines Agency guidance. The methodology of clinical trials in VTE prophylaxis has to be moved forward, pending the choice of debatable surrogate end-points as asymptomatic venous thrombosis and disputed issues on the assessment of major bleeding.
