- Rare coding variants in TREM2, PLCG2, and ABI3 were recently associated with the susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Caucasians. Frequencies and AD-associated effects of variants differ across ethnicities. To start filling the gap on AD genetics in South America and assess the impact of these variants across ethnicity, we studied these variants in Argentinian population in association with ancestry. TREM2 (rs143332484 and rs75932628), PLCG2 (rs72824905), and ABI3 (rs616338) were genotyped in 419 AD cases and 486 controls. Meta-analysis with European population was performed. Ancestry was estimated from genome-wide genotyping results. All variants show similar frequencies and odds ratios to those previously reported. Their association with AD reach statistical significance by meta-analysis. Although the Argentinian population is an admixture, variant carriers presented mainly Caucasian ancestry. Rare coding variants in TREM2, PLCG2, and ABI3 also modulate susceptibility to AD in populations from Argentina, and they may have a European heritage.

- To assess the safety and efficacy of rituximab in systemic sclerosis (SSc) in clinical practice.MethodsWe performed a prospective study including patients with SSc from the European Scleroderma Trials and Research (EUSTAR) network treated with rituximab and matched with untreated patients with SSc. The main outcomes measures were adverse events, skin fibrosis improvement, lung fibrosis worsening and steroids use among propensity score-matched patients treated or not with rituximab.Results254 patients were treated with rituximab, in 58% for lung and in 32% for skin involvement. After a median follow-up of 2 years, about 70% of the patients had no side effect. Comparison of treated patients with 9575 propensity-score matched patients showed that patients treated with rituximab were more likely to have skin fibrosis improvement (22.7 vs 14.03 events per 100 person-years; OR: 2.79 [1.47–5.32]; p=0.002). Treated patients did not have significantly different rates of decrease in forced vital capacity (FVC)>10% (OR: 1.03 [0.55–1.94]; p=0.93) nor in carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) decrease. Patients having received rituximab were more prone to stop or decrease steroids (OR: 2.34 [1.56–3.53], p<0.0001). Patients treated concomitantly with mycophenolate mofetil had a trend for better outcomes as compared with patients receiving rituximab alone (delta FVC: 5.22 [0.83–9.62]; p=0.019 as compared with controls vs 3 [0.66–5.35]; p=0.012).ConclusionRituximab use was associated with a good safety profile in this large SSc-cohort. Significant change was observed on skin fibrosis, but not on lung. However, the limitation is the observational design. The potential stabilisation of lung fibrosis by rituximab has to be addressed by a randomised trial.

- With the uplifting, large-scale thrusting and striking of the Tibetan Plateau, several Paleogene intracontinental basins formed within the northernTibetan Plateau (TP). Stratigraphical and paleoenvironmental studies of the sedimentary successions within these basins are critical for understandingPaleogene climatological changes in Eurasia. The Nangqian Basin, one of such basins, formed in the Yushu area of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau.A set of lacustrine sediments, dominated by red clasolite, marlite, and gypsum, developed in the Yang Ala section in this basin. Paleontologicalrecords from the Nangqian Basin remain poorly known. Here, we investigate the palynological assemblages of one sedimentary succession at theYang Ala section that belongs to the Gongjue Formation, and their implications regarding the geological age and paleoclimate are discussed. Theresults reveal that the assemblages are dominated mainly by angiosperm pollen (tricolpates and tricolporate), includingNitrariadites (Pokrovskaja), Quercoidites, and Labitricolpites, followed by gymnosperm pollen taxa, such as Ephedripites and Taxodiaceaepollenites, and sparse pteridophytespores produced by ferns. A late Eocene age is inferred based on palynostratigraphy and comparison with other pollen assemblages in the TP. Arelatively dry climate with brief humid periods is indicated by the high abundance of xerophytic pollen taxa, such as Ephedripites and Nitrariadites,which are associated with broadleaved deciduous and evergreen plants. The characteristics of the pollen assemblages from the studied Yang Alasection are consistent with other Cenozoic palynofloras from the Mahalagou Formation in the Xining Basin and with those of the Yaxicuo Groupin the Hoh Xil Basin. These results provide an improved stratigraphical scheme for parts of the Cenozoic and enrich the current knowledge of thevegetation history of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau.
