Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network: Weekly Activity Report Week 14, April 9, 2016

The Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network (IISN) was established in 2004, though surveillance has been conducted at the Iowa Department of Public Health. Schools and long-term care facilities report data weekly into a Web-based reporting system. Schools report the number of students absent due to illness and the total enrolled. Long-term care facilities report cases of influenza and vaccination status of each case. Both passively report outbreaks of illness, including influenza, to IDPH.

Innappropriate renin secretion unmasked by captopril (SQ 14 225) in hypertension of chronic renal failure

Captopril (SQ 14 225), an orally active inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme, was given to 7 hypertensive patients with chronic renal failure whose plasma-creatinine ranged from 1.5--7.4 mg/dl; whose plasma-renin activity was normal; whose hypertension was not controlled by previous therapy consisting in 5 patients of three or more antihypertensive drugs; and whose blood-pressures averaged 176/111 +/- 11/3 mm Hg. Inhibition of converting enzyme by oral captopril, 200 mg twice daily, reduced blood-pressure to 156/100 +/- 9/5 mm Hg. 5 patients needed additional treatment by frusemide 40--250 mg/day orally. With this combined regimen the blood-pressure of all patients averaged 126/85 +/- 4/3 mm Hg after 8 +/- 2 weeks of captopril. The drug was well tolerated. These results suggest that inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme with or without sodium depletion is an efficient treatment for hypertension associated with chronic renal failure. It appears that although renin levels in patients with this condition may be "normal", they are inappropriate in relation to the subtle degree of sodium retention that occurs with this disorder.

Characterization of Fas (Apo-1, CD95)-Fas ligand interaction.

The death-inducing receptor Fas is activated when cross-linked by the type II membrane protein Fas ligand (FasL). When human soluble FasL (sFasL, containing the extracellular portion) was expressed in human embryo kidney 293 cells, the three N-linked glycans of each FasL monomer were found to be essential for efficient secretion. Based on the structure of the closely related lymphotoxin alpha-tumor necrosis factor receptor I complex, a molecular model of the FasL homotrimer bound to three Fas molecules was generated using knowledge-based protein modeling methods. Point mutations of amino acid residues predicted to affect the receptor-ligand interaction were introduced at three sites. The F275L mutant, mimicking the loss of function murine gld mutation, exhibited a high propensity for aggregation and was unable to bind to Fas. Mutants P206R, P206D, and P206F displayed reduced cytotoxicity toward Fas-positive cells with a concomitant decrease in the binding affinity for the recombinant Fas-immunoglobulin Fc fusion proteins. Although the cytotoxic activity of mutant Y218D was unaltered, mutant Y218R was inactive, correlating with the prediction that Tyr-218 of FasL interacts with a cluster of three basic amino acid side chains of Fas. Interestingly, mutant Y218F could induce apoptosis in murine, but not human cells.

The protective role of transferrin in Müller glial cells after iron-induced toxicity.

PURPOSE: Transferrin (Tf) expression is enhanced by aging and inflammation in humans. We investigated the role of transferrin in glial protection. METHODS: We generated transgenic mice (Tg) carrying the complete human transferrin gene on a C57Bl/6J genetic background. We studied human (hTf) and mouse (mTf) transferrin localization in Tg and wild-type (WT) C57Bl/6J mice using immunochemistry with specific antibodies. Müller glial (MG) cells were cultured from explants and characterized using cellular retinaldehyde binding protein (CRALBP) and vimentin antibodies. They were further subcultured for study. We incubated cells with FeCl(3)-nitrilotriacetate to test for the iron-induced stress response; viability was determined by direct counting and measurement of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Tf expression was determined by reverse transcriptase-quantitative PCR with human- or mouse-specific probes. hTf and mTf in the medium were assayed by ELISA or radioimmunoassay (RIA), respectively. RESULTS: mTf was mainly localized in retinal pigment epithelium and ganglion cell layers in retina sections of both mouse lines. hTf was abundant in MG cells. The distribution of mTf and hTf mRNA was consistent with these findings. mTf and hTf were secreted into the medium of MG cell primary cultures. Cells from Tg mice secreted hTf at a particularly high level. However, both WT and Tg cell cultures lose their ability to secrete Tf after a few passages. Tg MG cells secreting hTf were more resistant to iron-induced stress toxicity than those no longer secreted hTf. Similarly, exogenous human apo-Tf, but not human holo-Tf, conferred resistance to iron-induced stress on MG cells from WT mice. CONCLUSIONS: hTf localization in MG cells from Tg mice was reminiscent of that reported for aged human retina and age-related macular degeneration, both conditions associated with iron deposition. The role of hTf in protection against toxicity in Tg MG cells probably involves an adaptive mechanism developed in neural retina to control iron-induced stress.

Identifying reportable segments according to IAS 14 - Case Stora Enso

Tutkielman päätavoitteenaoli analysoida, kuinka raportoitavat segmentit määritetään IAS 14 Segmenttiraportoinnin mukaan. Tutkielma keskittyy yrityskauppojen ja muiden rakenteellisten muutosten vaikutukseen. Lähestymistapa on päätöksentekoa tukeva ja keskittyy teoreettiseen aiheen käsittelyyn sekä omaa normatiivisia piirteitä. Teoriaosuus selittää kansainvälisten tilinpäätösstandardien (IFRS) vaatimukset segmenttiraportoinnille sekä sisältää vertailevan analyysin U.S. GAAP:n vastaavaan segmenttistandardiin SFAS 131:een. Teoriaosuuden johtopäätös on IAS 14:n tärkeys linkkinä johdonraportoinnin ja ulkoisen raportoinnin välillä. Se myös esittää, kuinka IAS 14:n ja SFAS 131:n välillä ei ole merkittäviä eroja. Case-yrityksen raportointiorganisaatio on kompleksi johtuen yrityskaupoista ja muista rakenteellisista muutoksista. Organisaatio tulisi yksinkertaistaa uuden laskentajärjestelmän myötä kattamaan vain juridiset yhtiöt, segmentit ja rahavirtaa tuottavat yksiköt. Loppupäätelmä osoitti yrityksen sisäisen ja ulkoisen raportoinnin olevan identtisiä. Kun organisaatiorakenne muuttuu, raportoitavien segmenttien määrittäminen riippuu johdon näkemyksestä ja siten johdonraportoinnista. Uutena seikkana nousi esille segmenttien määrittämisen mahdollinen syventäminen rahavirtaa tuottavien yksiköiden tasolle.
