- Studies have demonstrated high rates of mortality in people with proximal femoral fracture and SARS-CoV-2, but there is limited published data on the factors that influence mortality for clinicians to make informed treatment decisions. This study aims to report the 30-day mortality associated with perioperative infection of patients undergoing surgery for proximal femoral fractures and to examine the factors that influence mortality in a multivariate analysis.SettingProspective, international, multicentre, observational cohort study.ParticipantsPatients undergoing any operation for a proximal femoral fracture from 1 February to 30 April 2020 and with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection (either 7 days prior or 30-day postoperative).Primary outcome30-day mortality. Multivariate modelling was performed to identify factors associated with 30-day mortality.ResultsThis study reports included 1063 patients from 174 hospitals in 19 countries. Overall 30-day mortality was 29.4% (313/1063). In an adjusted model, 30-day mortality was associated with male gender (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.68 to 3.13, p<0.001), age >80 years (OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.31, p=0.013), preoperative diagnosis of dementia (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.15 to 2.16, p=0.005), kidney disease (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.18 to 2.55, p=0.005) and congestive heart failure (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.48, p=0.025). Mortality at 30 days was lower in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.6 (0.42 to 0.85), p=0.004). There was no difference in mortality in patients with an increase to delay in surgery (p=0.220) or type of anaesthetic given (p=0.787).ConclusionsPatients undergoing surgery for a proximal femoral fracture with a perioperative infection of SARS-CoV-2 have a high rate of mortality. This study would support the need for providing these patients with individualised medical and anaesthetic care, including medical optimisation before theatre. Careful preoperative counselling is needed for those with a proximal femoral fracture and SARS-CoV-2, especially those in the highest risk groups.Trial registration numberNCT04323644

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Asthma is a disease of varying severity and differing disease mechanisms. To date, studies aimed at stratifying asthma into clinically useful phenotypes have produced a number of phenotypes that have yet to be assessed for stability and to be validated in independent cohorts. The aim of this study was to define and validate, for the first time ever, clinically driven asthma phenotypes using two independent, severe asthma cohorts: ADEPT and U-BIOPRED. Methods: Fuzzy partition-around-medoid clustering was performed on pre-specified data from the ADEPT participants (n = 156) and independently on data from a subset of U-BIOPRED asthma participants (n = 82) for whom the same variables were available. Models for cluster classification probabilities were derived and applied to the 12-month longitudinal ADEPT data and to a larger subset of the U-BIOPRED asthma dataset (n = 397). High and low type-2 inflammation phenotypes were defined as high or low Th2 activity, indicated by endobronchial biopsies gene expression changes downstream of IL-4 or IL-13. Results: Four phenotypes were identified in the ADEPT (training) cohort, with distinct clinical and biomarker profiles. Phenotype 1 was "mild, good lung function, early onset", with a low-inflammatory, predominantly Type-2, phenotype. Phenotype 2 had a "moderate, hyper-responsive, eosinophilic" phenotype, with moderate asthma control, mild airflow obstruction and predominant Type-2 inflammation. Phenotype 3 had a "mixed severity, predominantly fixed obstructive, non-eosinophilic and neutrophilic" phenotype, with moderate asthma control and low Type-2 inflammation. Phenotype 4 had a "severe uncontrolled, severe reversible obstruction, mixed granulocytic" phenotype, with moderate Type-2 inflammation. These phenotypes had good longitudinal stability in the ADEPT cohort. They were reproduced and demonstrated high classification probability in two subsets of the U-BIOPRED asthma cohort. Conclusions: Focusing on the biology of the four clinical independently-validated easy-to-assess ADEPT asthma phenotypes will help understanding the unmet need and will aid in developing tailored therapies. Trial registration:NCT01274507(ADEPT), registered October 28, 2010 and NCT01982162(U-BIOPRED), registered October 30, 2013.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). However, there is a lack of data available about SSI in children worldwide, especially from low-income and middle-income countries. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of SSI in children and associations between SSI and morbidity across human development settings.MethodsA multicentre, international, prospective, validated cohort study of children aged under 16 years undergoing clean-contaminated, contaminated or dirty gastrointestinal surgery. Any hospital in the world providing paediatric surgery was eligible to contribute data between January and July 2016. The primary outcome was the incidence of SSI by 30 days. Relationships between explanatory variables and SSI were examined using multilevel logistic regression. Countries were stratified into high development, middle development and low development groups using the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI).ResultsOf 1159 children across 181 hospitals in 51 countries, 523 (45·1%) children were from high HDI, 397 (34·2%) from middle HDI and 239 (20·6%) from low HDI countries. The 30-day SSI rate was 6.3% (33/523) in high HDI, 12·8% (51/397) in middle HDI and 24·7% (59/239) in low HDI countries. SSI was associated with higher incidence of 30-day mortality, intervention, organ-space infection and other HAIs, with the highest rates seen in low HDI countries. Median length of stay in patients who had an SSI was longer (7.0 days), compared with 3.0 days in patients who did not have an SSI. Use of laparoscopy was associated with significantly lower SSI rates, even after accounting for HDI.ConclusionThe odds of SSI in children is nearly four times greater in low HDI compared with high HDI countries. Policies to reduce SSI should be prioritised as part of the wider global agenda.

- Using the production reactions pd -> He-3 omega and pp -> pp omega, the Dalitz plot distribution for the omega -> pi(+)pi(-)pi(0)decay is studied with the WASA detector at COSY, based on a combined data sample of (4.408 +/- 0.042) x 10(4) events. The Dalitz plot density is parametrised by a product of the P-wave phase space and a polynomial expansion in the normalised polar Dalitz plot variables Z and phi. For the first time, a deviation from pure P-wave phase space is observed with a significance of 4.1 sigma. The deviation is parametrised by a linear term 1+2 alpha Z, with alpha determined to be +0.147 +/- 0.036, consistent with the expectations of rho-meson-type final-state interactions of the P-wave pion pairs.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- New data on the production of single neutral pions in the pd -> He-3 pi(0) reaction are presented. For fifteen proton beam momenta between p(p) = 1.60GeV/c and p(p) = 1.74 GeV/c, differential cross sections are determined over a large fraction of the backward hemisphere. Since the only previous systematic measurements of single-pion production at these energies were made in collinear kinematics, the present work constitutes a significant extension of the current knowledge on this reaction. Even this far above the production threshold, significant changes are found in the behaviour of the angular distributions over small intervals in beam momentum.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This letter reports a first quantitative analysis of the contribution of higher partial waves in the charge symmetry breaking reaction dd -> He-4 pi(0) using the WASA-at-COSY detector setup at an excess energy of Q = 60 MeV. The determined differential cross section can be parametrized as d sigma/d Omega = a + b cos(2) theta*, where theta* is the production angle of the pion in the center-of-mass coordinate system, and the results for the parameters are a = (1.55 +/- 0.46(stat)(-0.8)(+0.32)(syst)) pb/sr and b = (13.1 +/- 2.1(stat)(-2.7)(+1.0)(syst)) pb/sr. The data are compatible with vanishing p-waves and a sizable d-wave contribution. This finding should strongly constrain the contribution of the A isobar to the dd -> He-4 pi(0) reaction and is, therefore, crucial for a quantitative understanding of quark mass effects in nuclear production reactions.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Exclusive measurements of the quasi-free pn -> pp pi(-) and pp -> pp pi(0) reactions have been performed by means of pd collisions at T-p= 1.2 GeV using the WASA detector setup at COSY. Total and differential cross sections have been obtained covering the energy region T-p= 0.95-1.3 GeV (root s = 2.3-2.46 GeV), which includes the regions of triangle(1232), N*(1440) and d*(2380) resonance excitations. From these measurements the isoscalar single-pion production has been extracted, for which data existed so far only below T-p = 1 GeV. We observe a substantial increase of this cross section around 1 GeV, which can be related to the Roper resonance N*(1440), the strength of which shows up isolated from the triangle resonance in the isoscalar (N pi)(I=0) invariant-mass spectrum. No evidence for a decay of the dibaryon resonance d*(2380) into the isoscalar (NN pi)(I=0) channel is found. An upper limit of 180 mu b (90% CL.) corresponding to a branching ratio of 9% has been deduced.

- We report on a high-statistics measurement of the most basic double-pionic fusion reaction over the energy region of the d (*)(2380) resonance by use of a polarized deuteron beam and observing the double fusion reaction in the quasifree scattering mode. The measurements were performed with the WASA detector setup at COSY. The data reveal substantial analyzing powers and confirm conclusions about the d(*) resonance obtained from unpolarized measurements. We also confirm the previous unpolarized data obtained under complementary kinematic conditions.

- The WASA-at-COSY experiment has collected 3 x 10(7) events with eta mesons produced via the reaction pd -> He-3 eta at T = 1.0 GeV. Using this data set, we evaluate the branching ratios of the decays eta -> pi(+)pi(-)gamma, eta -> e(+)e(-)gamma, eta -> pi(+)pi(-)e(+)e(-), and eta -> e(+)e(-)e(+)e(-). The branching ratios are normalized to the eta -> pi(+)pi(-) pi(0) decay. In addition an upper limit on a CP-violating asymmetry in eta -> pi(+)pi(-)e(+)e(-) is extracted.

- Various theoretical calculations based on QCD or hadronic interactions predict that in addition to the recently observed dibaryon resonance d*(2380) with I(J(P)) = 3(0(+)) there should also exist a dibaryon resonance with mirrored quantum numbers I(J(P)) = 3(0(+)). We report here on a search for such a NN-decoupled state in data on the pp -> pp pi(+) pi(+) pi(-) pi(-) reaction. Since no clear-cut evidence has been found, we give upper limits for the production cross section of such a resonance in the mass range 2280-2500 MeV.

- We report on the search for the rare decay eta -> pi(0)e(+)e(-) which is of interest to study C violation in the electromagnetic interaction which would indicate contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model, since the allowed decay via a two-photon intermediate state is strongly suppressed. The experiment has been performed using the WASA-at-COSY installation, located at the COSY accelerator of the Forschungszentrum Julich, Germany. In total 3 x 10(7) events of the reaction pd -> He-3 eta have been recorded at an excess energy of Q = 59.8MeV. Based on this data set the C parity violating decay eta -> pi(0)gamma* -> pi(0)e(+)e(-) via a single-photon intermediate state has been searched for, resulting in new upper limits of Gamma(eta -> pi(0)e(+) e(-))/Gamma(eta -> pi(+) pi(-) pi(0)) < 3.28 x 10(-5) and Gamma(eta -> pi(0)e(+) e(-))/Gamma(eta -> all)< 7.5 x 10(-6) (CL=90%), respectively.

Search for eta-mesic He-4 in the dd -> (3)Hen pi(0) and dd -> (3)Hep pi(-) reactions with the WASA-at-COSY facility

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The search for He-4-eta bound states was performed with the WASA-at-COSY facility via the measurement of the excitation function for the dd -> (3)Hen pi(0) and dd -> (3)Hep pi(-) processes. The deuteron beam momentum was varied continuously between 2.127 GeV/c and 2.422 GeV/c, corresponding to the excess energy for the dd -> He-4 eta reaction ranging from Q = 70 MeV to Q = 30 MeV. The luminosity was determined based on the dd -> (3)Hen reaction and the quasi-free proton proton scattering via dd -> ppn(spectator)n(spectator) reactions. The excitation functions, determined independently for the measured reactions, do not reveal a structure which could be interpreted as a narrow mesic nucleus. Therefore, the upper limits of the total cross sections for the bound state production and decay in dd -> (4He-eta)(bound) -> (3)Hen pi(0) and dd -> (He-4-eta)(bound) -> (3)Hep pi(-) processes were determined taking into account the isospin relation between the both of the considered channels. The results of the analysis depend on the assumptions of the N* (1535) momentum distribution in the anticipated mesic-He-4. Assuming, as in the previous works, that this is identical with the distribution of nucleons bound with 20 MeV in He-4, we determined that (for the mesic bound state width in the range from 5 MeV to 50 MeV) the upper limits at 90% confidence level are about 3 nb and about 6 nb for n pi(0) and p pi(-) channels, respectively. However, based on the recent theoretical findings of the N*(1535) momentum distribution in the N*-He-3 nucleus bound by 3.6 MeV, we find that the WASA-at-COSY detector acceptance decreases and hence the corresponding upper limits are 5 nb and 10 nb for n pi(0) and p pi(-) channels respectively.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Taking advantage of the high acceptance and axial symmetry of the WASA-at-COSY detector, and the high polarization degree of the proton beam of COSY, the reaction →pp→ppη has been measured close to threshold to explore the analyzing power Ay. The angular distribution of Ay is determined with the precision improved by more than 1 order of magnitude with respect to previous results, allowing a first accurate comparison with theoretical predictions. The determined analyzing power is consistent with zero for an excess energy of Q=15 MeV, signaling s-wave production with no evidence for higher partial waves. At Q=72 MeV the data reveal strong interference of Ps and Pp partial waves and cancellation of (Pp)2 and Ss∗Sd contributions. These results rule out the presently available theoretical predictions for the production mechanism of the η meson.

- New data on both total and differential cross sections of the production of eta mesons in proton-deuteron fusion to He-3 eta in the excess energy region 13.6 MeV <= Q(eta) <= 80.9 MeV are presented. These data have been obtained with the WASA-at-COSY detector setup located at the Forschungszentrum Julich, using a proton beam at 15 different beam momenta between p(p) = 1.60 GeV/c and p(p) = 1.74 GeV/c. While significant structure of the total cross section is observed in the energy region 20 MeV less than or similar to Q(eta) less than or similar to 60 MeV, a previously reported sharp variation around Q(eta) approximate to 50 MeV cannot be confirmed. Angular distributions show the typical forward- peaking that was noted earlier. For the first time, it is possible to study the development of these angular distributions with rising excess energy over a wide interval.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sjogren's disease is a complex autoimmune disease with twelve established susceptibility loci. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies ten novel genome-wide significant (GWS) regions in Sjogren's cases of European ancestry: CD247, NAB1, PTTG1-MIR146A, PRDM1-ATG5, TNFAIP3, XKR6, MAPT-CRHR1, RPTOR-CHMP6-BAIAP6, TYK2, SYNGR1. Polygenic risk scores yield predictability (AUROC = 0.71) and relative risk of 12.08. Interrogation of bioinformatics databases refine the associations, define local regulatory networks of GWS SNPs from the 95% credible set, and expand the implicated gene list to >40. Many GWS SNPs are eQTLs for genes within topologically associated domains in immune cells and/or eQTLs in the main target tissue, salivary glands. The genetic architecture underlying Sjogren's syndrome is not fully understood. Here, the authors perform a genome-wide association study to identify 10 new genetic risk regions, implicating genes involved in immune and salivary gland function.

- Numerous biological mechanisms contribute to outcome after stroke, including brain injury, inflammation, and repair mechanisms. Clinical genetic studies have the potential to discover biological mechanisms affecting stroke recovery in humans and identify intervention targets. Large sample sizes are needed to detect commonly occurring genetic variations related to stroke brain injury and recovery. However, this usually requires combining data from multiple studies where consistent terminology, methodology, and data collection timelines are essential. Our group of expert stroke and rehabilitation clinicians and researchers with knowledge in genetics of stroke recovery here present recommendations for harmonizing phenotype data with focus on measures suitable for multicenter genetic studies of ischemic stroke brain injury and recovery. Our recommendations have been endorsed by the International Stroke Genetics Consortium.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Declines in stroke admission, IV thrombolysis (IVT), and mechanical thrombectomy volumes were reported during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a paucity of data on the longer-term effect of the pandemic on stroke volumes over the course of a year and through the second wave of the pandemic. We sought to measure the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the volumes of stroke admissions, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), IVT, and mechanical thrombectomy over a 1-year period at the onset of the pandemic (March 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021) compared with the immediately preceding year (March 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020).We conducted a longitudinal retrospective study across 6 continents, 56 countries, and 275 stroke centers. We collected volume data for COVID-19 admissions and 4 stroke metrics: ischemic stroke admissions, ICH admissions, IVT treatments, and mechanical thrombectomy procedures. Diagnoses were identified by their ICD-10 codes or classifications in stroke databases.There were 148,895 stroke admissions in the 1 year immediately before compared with 138,453 admissions during the 1-year pandemic, representing a 7% decline (95% CI [95% CI 7.1-6.9]; p < 0.0001). ICH volumes declined from 29,585 to 28,156 (4.8% [5.1-4.6]; p < 0.0001) and IVT volume from 24,584 to 23,077 (6.1% [6.4-5.8]; p < 0.0001). Larger declines were observed at high-volume compared with low-volume centers (all p < 0.0001). There was no significant change in mechanical thrombectomy volumes (0.7% [0.6-0.9]; p = 0.49). Stroke was diagnosed in 1.3% [1.31-1.38] of 406,792 COVID-19 hospitalizations. SARS-CoV-2 infection was present in 2.9% ([2.82-2.97], 5,656/195,539) of all stroke hospitalizations.There was a global decline and shift to lower-volume centers of stroke admission volumes, ICH volumes, and IVT volumes during the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared with the prior year. Mechanical thrombectomy volumes were preserved. These results suggest preservation in the stroke care of higher severity of disease through the first pandemic year.This study is registered under NCT04934020.

- Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are distinct chronic, complex autoimmune diseases with shared characteristics such as autoantibodies, heightened interferons, and polyarthritis. SS and SLE genome-wide association studies (GWAS) report strong associations with theDDX6-CXCR5risk interval. DDX6 suppresses interferon stimulated gene expression and CXCR5 regulates T cell functions implicated in autoimmunity.Objectives:To identify functional variants that impact regulation in theDDX6-CXCR5interval.Methods:Fine-mapping was done using ImmunoChip data from 3785 SLE, 1916 SS cases and 6893 population controls of European ancestry that were imputed and tested for SNP-trait association. Bayesian statistics assigned posterior probabilities to SNPs and defined a credible set of risk variants. Bioinformatic analyses further prioritized variants with predicted functionality. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and luciferase expression were used to validate predicted SNPs in EBV transformed B (EBV B) cells.Results:While some differences were observed, the overall SS and SLE association signals were similar. SNP-SS rs9736016 nearCXCR5and SNP-SLE rs76409436 nearDDX6were the most significant but did not show evidence of functionality. Bayesian statistics defined credible sets of variants in strong D’ in common between both SS and SLE. Bioinformatics analyses (Haploreg, RegulomeDB, ENCODE data, etc) further refined the credible set and identified 5 common SNPs with strong evidence of functionality in immune cell types: rs4938572, rs4936443, rs57494551, rs7117261 and rs4938573. EMSAs showed a significant increase in protein binding to the risk allele of rs57494551 (p=0.0001), rs7117261 (p=0.0001) and rs4938573 (p=0.0003), but not the others, using nuclear lysates from EBV B cells. Luciferase vectors with a minimal promoter or no promoter were used to test for enhancer or promoter activity, respectively. To this end, the rs57494551 risk allele exhibited a significant increase in enhancer activity (p=0.0001). In contrast, the rs7117261 risk allele decreased enhancer activity (p=0.018). The rs4938573 risk allele decreased enhancer (p=0.043) and promoter (p=0.024) activity. While rs7117261 or rs4938573 were not reported in eQTL databases, GTex data reported rs57494551 as an eQTL that altersDDX6expression in whole blood (p=1.8E-7). Additionally, these functional SNPs have been associated with looping events to several proximal promoters in nearby genes in immune cells.Conclusion:SS and SLE have similar genomic architecture across theDDX6-CXCR5risk interval. Multiple variants in the credible set exhibited allele specific changes in protein binding, as well as modified enhancer activity, promoter activity or both. Ongoing studies will use Cas9 in EBV B cells to determine which other loci are within the local regulatory network.Disclosure of Interests:Mandi M Wiley: None declared, Bhuwan Khatri: None declared, Kandice L Tessneer: None declared, Michelle L Joachims: None declared, Anna M Stolarczyk: None declared, Astrid Rasmussen Speakers bureau: Novartis, ThermoFischer, Simon J.

- Sjögren’s Disease (SjD) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are autoimmune diseases with several shared characteristics and similar genome-wide significant associations with the DDX6-CXCR5 locus. DDX6 suppresses interferon-stimulated gene expression and CXCR5 regulates T cell functions implicated in autoimmunity.ObjectivesTo identify and characterize functional SNPs in the DDX6-CXCR5 interval.MethodsImmunoChip data from European populations (3785 SLE cases; 1916 SjD cases; 6893 controls) were imputed and SNP-trait associations tested. Bayesian statistics defined a credible SNP set that was refined using bioinformatic analyses (RegulomeDB, Haploreg, ENCODE, promoter capture Hi-C, eQTLs, etc.). Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and luciferase expression assays were used to test allele-specific SNP function in EBV-transformed B (EBV B) cells, Daudi B cells, Jurkat T cells, THP1 monocytes, and A253 salivary gland cell lines. Chromatin conformation capture with quantitative PCR (3C-qPCR) was used to assess long-range chromatin interactions.ResultsFine mapping of the SjD and SLE associations found similar SNP associations. Bioinformatic analyses identified 5 common SNPs with strong evidence of functionality in immune cell types: rs57494551 in an intron of DDX6, and rs4938572, rs4936443, rs7117261, and rs4938573 in the promoter/enhancer region of DDX6 and CXCR5. EMSAs and luciferase experiments showed cell type-specific differences in protein binding and promoter or enhancer activity, respectively, at each SNP. Risk allele of rs57494551 increased enhancer activity in B cells and A253 cells (p<0.001), but decreased promoter activity in T cells and A253 cells (p<0.01). SNP rs4938572 is an eQTL of DDX6 in T cells, and the risk allele significantly increased protein binding, promoter and enhancer activity in T cells (p<0.01). Risk allele of rs4938572 also increased promoter activity in A253 cells (p<0.001), but had no effect on promoter or enhancer activity in B cells. SNP rs4936443 showed no promoter or enhancer activity in immune cells, but the risk allele showed significant promoter and enhancer (p<0.001) activity in A253 cells. SNP rs7117261 showed decreased enhancer activity in EBV B cells, T cells, and A253 cells (p<0.05) and increased promoter activity in A253 cells (p<0.001). SNP rs4938573 showed decreased promoter activity in EBV B cells, T cell and A253 cells (p<0.05), decreased promoter activity in EBV B cells (p<0.05), and increased enhancer activity in A253 cells (p<0.0001). Overall, A253 cells exhibited more allele-specific effects on promoter and enhancer activity across the five SNPs compared to tested immune cells. In addition to DDX6 and CXCR5, rs57494551 and/or rs4938572 are reported eQTLs for several other genes of interest in the local chromatin regulatory network: IL10RA in T cells, TRAPPC4 in salivary gland and activated macrophages, and long non-coding (lnc)RNA AP002954.1 in T cells and whole blood. 3C-qPCR in EBV B and A253 cells showed that the two regulatory regions carrying rs4938572 or rs57494551 interacted with a region upstream of DDX6 that includes AP002954.1. Hi-C data showed looping between AP002954.1 and the regulatory region carrying rs4938572 and rs57494551 in T cells.ConclusionSjD and SLE share similar genomic architecture across the DDX6-CXCR5 risk interval with several common SNPs showing immune and salivary gland cell type-specific allelic effects on protein binding and/or enhancer/promoter activity. Extensive bioinformatic analyses suggest that the SNPs likely work within the local chromatin regulatory network to regulate cell type-specific expression of several genes on the interval. Ongoing studies will use 3C-qPCR to assess allele-specific chromatin interactions between the SNPs and these genes in different cells types, and CRISPR to determine how the risk alleles alters expression.Disclosure of InterestsMandi M Wiley: None declared, Bhuwan Khatri: None declared, Kandice L Tessneer: None declared, Michelle L Joachims: None declared, Anna M Stolarczyk: None declared, Anna Nagel: None declared, Astrid Rasmussen: None declared, Simon J.

- Sjogren’s disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by reduced function of exocrine glands (i.e., salivary and lacrimal glands). Epithelial cell damage resulting from lymphocytic infiltration has been implicated in SjD etiology [1]. How genetic and epigenetic changes influence epithelial-immune cell interactions in SjD pathogenesis remain understudied.ObjectivesEvaluate the role of SjD risk loci in salivary gland tissue to gain insights into the potential genes involved in salivary gland dysfunction.MethodsSNPs from 16 regions with SNP-SjD associations (P<5x10-8) in our GWAS study (3232 SjD cases) and meta-analysis of ImmunoChip data (619 SjD cases) [2] were interrogated for eQTLs using Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) minor salivary gland data. Subsequent analysis identified genes that were both eQTLs in the minor salivary gland and significantly expressed in RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data from the submaxillary salivary gland epithelial cell line, A253. Pathway enrichment analysis was performed using gProfiler on the genes where coalescence of eQTL, RNA-seq, and ATAC-seq data was observed. To further validate the results, we performed transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) analysis using GWAS summary statistics and minor salivary gland eQTL GTEx data.ResultsIn total, 5884 genome-wide significant SNPs from 16 SjD risk loci were identified as potential minor salivary gland eQTLs using two discovery thresholds: p(FDR)<0.05 provided by eQTL study (3566 SNPs) and p(FDR)>0.05 and p<0.05 in eQTL study (2318 SNPs). Further analysis revealed 10 SjD risk loci with SNPs that were minor salivary gland eQTLs for a total of 155 unique genes that had a coalescence of RNA- and ATAC-seq data in A253 cells. Many SNPs altered the expression of the nearest gene to the risk allele (i.e., index gene), such as IRF5 and TNPO3 on chromosome 7 at 128Mb; however, this locus had 12 additional genes that were eQTLs in minor salivary gland. In contrast, other loci had no reported eQTLs for the index gene, but several reported eQTLs for other genes, such TYK2 on chromosome 19 at 10Mb that showed no change in TYK2 expression but eQTLs for 8 distant genes, including ICAM1. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed an enrichment in Butyrophilin (BTN) family interactions (R-HSA-8851) (PAdj=1.564x10-5), including the BTN2A1, BTN2A2, BTN3A1, BTN3A2 and BTN3A3 gene cluster in the MHC region. In further support, TWAS of the minor salivary gland and the SjD GWAS summary statistics (after Bonferroni correction) showed association between SjD and BTN3A2 (p=1.24x10-42), as well as many other loci in the MHC region. In addition, several long non-coding (lnc) RNAs on chromosome 17 were significant, peaking at RP11-259G18.1 (p=4.43x10-10).ConclusionThis study shows that SjD-associated risk alleles influence disease by altering gene expression in immune cells and minor salivary glands. Further, our analysis suggests that altered gene expression in the minor salivary gland expands beyond effects on the index gene to several genes on each locus. Interestingly, we observed minor salivary gland eQTLs for several BTN family genes, which act as cell-surface binding partners to regulate cell-cell interactions, including interactions between epithelial cells and activated T cells [3]. Future work will assess chromatin-chromatin-interactions within the 10 SjD risk loci in salivary gland cells and tissues to map local chromatin regulatory networks that regulate gene expression. Additional transcriptional studies of SjD minor salivary gland tissues will provide further insights into how altered gene expression in the salivary gland influences SjD pathology.References[1]Verstappen.

- The purpose of the European Stroke Organisation-Karolinska Stroke Update Conference is to provide updates on recent stroke therapy research and to give an opportunity for the participants to discuss how these results may be implemented into clinical routine. The meeting started 22 years ago as Karolinska Stroke Update, but since 2014 it is a joint conference with European Stroke Organisation. Importantly, it provides a platform for discussion on the European Stroke Organisation guidelines process and on recommendations to the European Stroke Organisation guidelines committee on specific topics. By this, it adds a direct influence from stroke professionals otherwise not involved in committees and work groups on the guideline procedure. The discussions at the conference may also inspire new guidelines when motivated. The topics raised at the meeting are selected by the scientific programme committee mainly based on recent important scientific publications. This year's European Stroke Organisation-Karolinska Stroke Update Meeting was held in Stockholm on 11-13 November 2018. There were 11 scientific sessions discussed in the meeting including two short sessions. Each session except the short sessions produced a consensus statement (Full version with background, issues, conclusions and references are published as web-material and at www.eso-karolinska.org and http://eso-stroke.org) and recommendations which were prepared by a writing committee consisting of session chair(s), scientific secretary and speakers. These statements were presented to the 250 participants of the meeting. In the open meeting, general participants commented on the consensus statement and recommendations and the final document were adjusted based on the discussion from the general participants Recommendations (grade of evidence) were graded according to the 1998 Karolinska Stroke Update meeting with regard to the strength of evidence. Grade A Evidence: Strong support from randomised controlled trials and statistical reviews (at least one randomised controlled trial plus one statistical review). Grade B Evidence: Support from randomised controlled trials and statistical reviews (one randomised controlled trial or one statistical review). Grade C Evidence: No reasonable support from randomised controlled trials, recommendations based on small randomised and/or non-randomised controlled trials evidence.

- Cancer-cachexia (CC) is a wasting condition directly responsible for 20–40% of cancer-related deaths. The mechanisms controlling development of CC-induced muscle wasting are not fully elucidated. Most investigations focus on the postcachectic state and do not examine progression of the condition. We recently demonstrated mitochondrial degenerations precede muscle wasting in time course progression of CC. However, the extent of muscle perturbations before wasting in CC is unknown. Therefore, we performed global gene expression analysis in CC-induced muscle wasting to enhance understanding of intramuscular perturbations across the development of CC. Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) was injected into the hind-flank of C57BL6/J mice at 8 wk of age with tumor allowed to develop for 1, 2, 3, or 4 wk and compared with PBS-injected control. Muscle wasting was evident at 4 wk LLC. RNA sequencing of gastrocnemius muscle samples showed widespread alterations in LLC compared with PBS animals with largest differences seen in 4 wk LLC, suggesting extensive transcriptomic alterations concurrent to muscle wasting. Commonly altered pathways included: mitochondrial dysfunction and protein ubiquitination, along with other less studied processes in this condition regulating transcription/translation and cytoskeletal structure. Current findings present novel evidence of transcriptomic shifts and altered cellular pathways in CC-induced muscle wasting.

- Limited data exist on clot composition and detailed characteristics of arterial thrombi associated with large vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke. Advances in endovascular thrombectomy and related imaging modalities have created a unique opportunity to analyze thrombi removed from cerebral arteries. Insights into thrombus composition, etiology, physical properties and neurovascular interactions may lead to future advancements in acute ischemic stroke treatment and improved clinical outcomes. Advances in imaging techniques may enhance clot characterization and inform therapeutic decision-making prior to treatment and reveal stroke etiology to guide secondary prevention. Current imaging techniques can provide some information about thrombi, but there remains much to evaluate about relationships that may exist among thrombus composition, occlusion characteristics and treatment outcomes. Improved pathophysiological characterization of clot types, their properties and how these properties change over time, together with clinical correlates from ongoing studies, may facilitate revascularization with thrombolysis and thrombectomy. Interdisciplinary approaches covering clinical, engineering and scientific aspects of thrombus research will be key to advancing the understanding of thrombi and improving acute ischemic stroke therapy. This consensus statement integrates recent research on clots and thrombi retrieved from cerebral arteries and provides a rationale for further analyses, including current opportunities and limitations.

- Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a complex autoimmune disease with exocrine gland dysfunction leading to substantial morbidity. There are 10 published genetic susceptibility loci.Objectives:Our genome-wide association study (GWAS) aimed to identify additional risk loci of genome-wide significance (GWS; p<5E-08) in European-derived primary SS.Methods:A total of 3232 cases and 17481 controls genotyped on GWAS arrays and 619 cases and 6171 controls genotyped on ImmunoChip (IC) arrays were imputed after quality control. Logistic regression was calculated adjusting for ancestry using the first 4 principal components to identify SS-associated SNPs. GWAS and IC results were meta-analyzed using weighted Z-scores. Bayesian statistics were used to assign posterior probabilities and define credible SNP sets for each locus. Bioinformatic analyses were used to predict functionality.Results:Seven novel loci exceeded GWS in the GWAS analysis:NAB1,MIR146A-PTTG1,XKR6,MAPT-CRHR1,RPTOR-CHMP6-BAIAP2,TYK2andSYNGR1. Meta-analysis with IC data identified three more novel loci exceeding GWS:CD247,PRDM1-ATG5andTNFAIP3. Several additional loci with suggestive association (p<1E-05) were also identified:ADAMTSL2,CGNL1andPHRF1.Several identified loci have reported functional implications in immune regulation and autoimmune disease. In lupus, rs2431697 correlated with rs2431098, which was shown to alterMIR146Aexpression, resulting in type I interferon pathway imbalance. Similarly,TYK2risk association reportedly drives interferon, IL10 and RET signaling pathways.PRDM1encodes Blimp-1, a master regulator of immune cell differentiation.CD247encodes the zeta subunit of the T cell receptor complex.XKR6is implicated in apoptotic cell ingestion.ATG5is also involved in apoptosis, as well as autophagy and antigen presentation.Additional bioinformatics analyses (Haploreg, Regulome DB, ENCODE, etc.) revealed immune-relevant functional implications for each risk locus. The SS-associated credible set included variants downstream ofTNFAIP3in a region reported to abolish looping between an enhancer and theTNFAIP3promoter in lupus and a coding variant that has been shown to alter NF-kB activity and neutrophil extra-cellular traps. The rs2293765 in the 5’ UTR ofNAB1showed evidence of enhancer/promoter activities. The rs2069235 in theSYNGR1locus showed enhancer and transcription start site activities in B and T cells. The rs7210219 in theMAPT-CRHR1locus showed enhancer/promotor activities in various tissues.Conclusion:We have identified ten novel genetic susceptibility loci associated with SS pathology. Our finding increases the current number of GWS regions in SS patients of European origin, from 10 to 20. Future work is needed to identify and characterize the functional variants in each region.Disclosure of Interests:Bhuwan Khatri: None declared, Tove Ragna Reksten: None declared, Kandice L Tessneer: None declared, Astrid Rasmussen Speakers bureau: Novartis, ThermoFischer, R Hal Scofield Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Simon J.

- Background: The fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) test is a point-of-care test that is used in the assessment of asthma. Objective: To provide evidence-based clinical guidance on whether FENO testing is indicated to optimize asthma treatment in patients with asthma in whom treatment is being considered. Methods: An international, multidisciplinary panel of experts was convened to form a consensus document regarding a single question relevant to the use of FENO. The question was selected from three potential questions based on the greatest perceived impact on clinical practice and the unmet need for evidencebased answers related to this question. The panel performed systematic reviews of published randomized controlled trials between 2004 and 2019 and followed the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence-to-decision framework to develop recommendations. All panel members evaluated and approved the recommendations. Main Results: After considering the overall low quality of the evidence, the panel made a conditional recommendation for FENO-based care. In patients with asthma in whom treatment is being considered, we suggest that FENO is beneficial and should be used in addition to usual care. This judgment is based on a balance of effects that probably favors the intervention; the moderate costs and availability of resources, which probably favors the intervention; and the perceived acceptability and feasibility of the intervention in daily practice. Conclusions: Clinicians should consider this recommendation to measure FENO in patients with asthma in whom treatment is being considered based on current best available evidence.
