This report presents our experience with T therapy in a cohort of T-deficient men on active surveillance （AS） for Gleason 3 ＋ 3 and Gleason 3 ＋ 4 prostate cancer （PCa）. A retrospective chart review identified 28 men with T deficiency who underwent T therapy （T group） for at least 6 months while on AS for PCa. A comparison group of 96 men on AS for PCa with untreated T deficiency （no-T group） was identified at the same institution. The AS protocol followed a modified Epstein criteria and allowed inclusion of men with a single core of low-volume Gleason 3 ＋ 4 PCa. Mean age was 59.5 and 61.3 years, and mean follow-up was 38.9 and 42.4 months for the T and no-T groups, respectively. Of all 28 men in the T group, 3 （10.7%） men developed an increase in Gleason score while on AS. Of 22 men in the T group with Gleason 3 ＋ 3 disease, 7 （31.8%） men developed biopsy progression including 3 men （13.6%） who developed Gleason 3 ＋ 4 PCa. Of 6 men with Gleason 3 ＋ 4 disease at baseline, 2 （33.3%） men developed an increase in tumor volume, and none developed upgrading beyond Gleason 3 ＋ 4. All 96 men in the no-T group had Gleason 3 ＋ 3 disease at baseline and, 43 （44.7%） developed biopsy progression, including 9 men （9.38%） with upgrading to Gleason 7 （3 ＋ 4）. Biopsy progression rates were similar for both groups and historical controls. Biopsy progression in men on AS appears unaffected by T therapy over 3 years. Prospective placebo-controlled trials of T therapy in T-deficient men on AS should be considered given the symptomatic benefits experienced by treated men.

In the last years, the types of devices used to access information systems have notably increased using different operating systems, screen sizes, interaction mechanisms, and software features. This device fragmentation is an important issue to tackle when developing native mobile service front-end applications. To address this issue,we propose the generation of native user interfaces(UIs) by means of model transformations, following the modelbased user interface(MBUI) paradigm. The resulting MBUI framework, called LIZARD, generates applications for multiple target platforms. LIZARD allows the definition of applications at a high level of abstraction, and applies model transformations to generate the target native UI considering the specific features of target platforms. The generated applications follow the UI design guidelines and the architectural and design patterns specified by the corresponding operating system manufacturer. The objective is not to generate generic applications following the lowest-common-denominator approach, but to follow the particular guidelines specified for each target device. We present an example application modeled in LIZARD, generating different UIs for Windows Phone and two types of Android devices(smartphones and tablets).

INTRODUCTIONClinical factors contributing to the therapeutic challenge of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are manifold :tumors arise often in patients with compromised liver function ,therefore limiting therapeutic options ;symptoms develop only at later stages of tumor progression ,and tumors tend to invade normal stuctures or occur in multiple locations simultaneously.

AIM:To determine if the presence H pylori or its viru- lence affect toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TLR5 mRNA expression levels. METHODS:For the in vivo assays, gastric biopsies were obtained from 40 patients and H pylori status was determined. For the in vitro assays, human gastric adenocarcinoma mucosal cells (AGS) were cultured in the presence or absence of twelve selected H pylori strains. H pylori strains isolated from culture-positive patients and selected strains were genotyped for cagA and vacA. The cDNA was obtained from mRNA extracted from biopsies and from infected AGS cells. TLR4 and TLR5 mRNA levels were examined by real-time PCR. RESULTS: The presence of H pylori did not affect the mRNA levels of TLR4 or TLR5 in gastric biopsies. The mRNA levels of both receptors were not influenced by the vacA status (P > 0.05 for both receptors) andthere were no differences in TLR4 or TLR5 mRNA levels among the different clinical presentations/histological fi ndings (P > 0.05). In the in vitro assay, the mRNA levels of TLR4 or TLR5 in AGS cells were not influenced by the vacAs1 status or the clinical condition as-sociated with the strains (P > 0.05 for both TLR4 and TLR5). CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that the mRNA levels of TLR4 and TLR5 in gastric cells, both in vivo and in vitro, are independent of H pylori colonization and suggest that vacA may not be a significant player in the first step of innate immune recognition mediated by TLR4 or TLR5.

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that play a key role in both normal and pathological processes involving tissue remodeling events. The expression of these proteolytic enzymes is highly regulated by a balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and its degradation, and is controlled by growth factors, cytokines, hormones, as well as interactions with the ECM macromolecules. Furthermore, the activity of the MMPs is regulated by their natural endogenous inhibitors, which are members of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) family. In the normal mammary gland, MMPs are expressed during ductal development, lobulo-alveolar development in pregnancy and involution after lactation. Under pathological conditions, such as tumorigenesis, the dysregulated expression of MMPs play a role in tumor initiation, progression and malignant conversion as well as facilitating invasion and motastasis of malignant cells through degradation of the ECM and basement membranes.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) affects nearly half of the world’s population and, thus, is one of the most frequent and persistent bacterial infections worldwide. H. pylori is associated with peptic ulcer disease, gastric ulcers, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer. Various diagnostic methods exist to detect infection, and the choice of one method or another depends on several factors, such as accessibility, advantages and disadvantages of each method, cost, and the age of patients. Once H. pylori infection is diagnosed, the clinician decides whether treatment is necessity, according to the patient’s clinical condition. Typically, eradication of H. pylori is recommended for treatment and prevention of the infection. Cure rates with the standard triple therapy are acceptable, and effective quadruple therapies, sequential therapies, and concomitant therapies have been introduced as key alternatives to treat H. pylori infection. In this work, we review the main diagnostic methods used to identify H. pylori infection and to confirm eradication of infection. In addition, key factors related to treatment are reviewed.

MicroRNAs(miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate multiple physiological and pathological functions through the modulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Accumulating evidence has established a role for miRNAs in the development and pathogenesis of liver disease. Specifically, a large number of studies have assessed the role of miRNAsin alcoholic liver disease(ALD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD), two diseases that share common underlying mechanisms and pathological characteristics. The purpose of the current review is to summarize and update the body of literature investigating the role of miRNAs in liver disease. In addition, the potential use of miRNAs as biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets is discussed. Among all miRNAs analyzed, miR-34 a, miR-122 and miR-155 are most involved in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Of note, these three miRNAs have also been implicated in ALD, reinforcing a common disease mechanism between these two entities and the pleiotropic effects of specific miRNAs. Currently, no single miRNA or panel of miRNAs has been identified for the detection of, or staging of ALD or NAFLD. While promising results have been shown in murine models, no therapeutic based-miRNA agents have been developed for use in humans with liver disease.
