Abstract:
We have previously reported Hi-Plex, a multiplex PCR methodology for building targeted DNA sequencing libraries that offers a low-cost protocol compatible with high-throughput processing. Here, we detail an improved protocol, Hi-Plex2, that more effectively enables the robust construction of small-to-medium panel-size libraries while maintaining low cost, simplicity and accuracy benefits of the Hi-Plex platform. Hi-Plex2 was applied to three panels, comprising 291, 740 and 1193 amplicons, targeting genes associated with risk for breast and/or colon cancer. We show substantial reduction of off-target amplification to enable library construction for small-to-medium-sized design panels not possible using the previous Hi-Plex chemistry.

Abstract:
Objective: Natalizumab, a highly effective treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) and Crohn’s disease, is associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Upon suspicion or diagnosis of PML, plasma exchange (PLEX) is performed to remove natalizumab from the circulation, allowing immune reconstitution of the central nervous system. Since PLEX may also remove other circulating antibodies, we examined the effects of PLEX on serum immunoglobulin (IgG) and anti–JC virus (JCV) antibody levels in MS patients with and without PML. Methods: Serum samples from 12 natalizumab-treated patients without PML collected before, during and after PLEX were tested for IgG isotypes using a commercial assay, and for anti-JCV antibodies using a two-step enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Five natalizumab-treated PML patients who underwent PLEX were also tested for anti-JCV antibodies. Results: PLEX produced a two- to three-fold reduction in all IgG isotypes. Among patients without PML, 42% (five of 12 patients) had detectable anti-JCV antibodies before PLEX; in these patients, anti-JCV antibodies were reduced approximately two- to five-fold, with levels returning to 50–100 percent of baseline two weeks after the final PLEX. The five PML patients, all of whom had detectable anti-JCV antibodies before PLEX, experienced similar reductions in anti-JCV antibody levels following PLEX. Conclusions: Our results indicate that PLEX effectively removes circulating antibodies; however, levels of endogenous anti-JCV antibody, unlike exogenously administered natalizumab, were replenished relatively quickly following PLEX. While interpretation of anti-JCV antibody levels during or within two weeks after PLEX may be problematic, humoral JCV immunity is not abolished by PLEX and antibody levels are rapidly restored.

Abstract:
Background: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) has myriad causes with only subtle differences at presentation. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is one of the etiologies, and traditional teaching is that initiation of treatment with plasmapheresis (PLEX) is time sensitive allowing mitigation of the otherwise high morbidity and mortality of this condition. If TTP is suspected, PLEX is frequently initiated prior to availability of confirmatory lab tests. In contradiction to this, a recent publication by Liu et al (Blood 2017) found that early initiation of PLEX was not associated with improved inpatient mortality. We aim to study inpatient outcomes and predictors of early initiation of PLEX in this population. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort analysis of NIS database (year 2016). Our cohort of interest was adult patients with TMA who underwent plasmapheresis and we identified them by selecting those ≥18 years of age, with ICD-10-CM diagnosis code of TMA and procedure code for PLEX. Early PLEX was defined as initiation of PLEX within 24 hrs of admission and late PLEX as beyond 24 hrs. Primary outcome was inpatient mortality and secondary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), predictors of early initiation of PLEX and mean total charge (TOTCHG). Associated factors were analyzed using a multivariate regression model. We used STATA for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 2064 admissions with thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) were identified in 2016, of which 1200 (58.1%) received PLEX. Death in the same admission occurred in 120 (5.8%) of all TMA patients, but only in 45 (3.75%) of those who underwent PLEX. Among those who received PLEX for TMA, mean age was 49.2 years, 71.25% (n=855) had early PLEX, 70.4% were female, 38.75% Caucasian and 38.3% African American. The mean time to initiation of PLEX was 2.01 days. Within the cohort of those who received PLEX, inpatient mortality was lower in those with early initiation of PLEX (OR 0.13, p 0.005) and higher with increasing age (OR 1.10, p 0.006) after adjusting for gender and all hospital characteristics (geographical location, urban or rural location of hospital, hospital teaching status, size). LOS was shorter in early PLEX vs late PLEX (by 5.25 days, p 0.0001) and was longer in those admitted to a teaching hospital vs non teaching hospital (by 3.08 days, p 0.038) keeping income quartile of patient's address, gender, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and other hospital characteristics constant. Likelihood of receiving PLEX within 24 hours of admission was lower in those who were admitted over the weekend (OR 0.36, p 0.006) after adjusting for other factors. There was no association of early initiation of PLEX with age, gender, race, CCI, mean income quartile for patient's address, insurance status, hospital region, urban or rural location of hospital, hospital teaching status. Total charge was approximately $54,759 higher (with a trend to significance, p=0.054) for those receiving late PLEX versus early PLEX after adjusting for patient demographics and hospital characteristics. Conclusion: Among patients admitted with TMA, inpatient mortality, length of stay and mean total charge for hospitalization was lower in those who had initiation of plasmapheresis within 24 hours of admission. Admissions over weekends were associated with lower likelihood of early initiation of PLEX. Given the better inpatient outcomes with early initiation of PLEX, this should be an area of quality improvement interventions in the future.

Abstract:
Background: Plex-B1, the receptor of Sema4D, has been implicated in tumour growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. The binding of Sema4D to Plex-B1 can trigger the activation of Met tyrosine kinase, thereby promoting cell dissociation and invasive growth. We tested the hypothesis that the expression of Plex-B1, either alone or in association with Met, can be of predictive value for tumour progression.Methods: The expression and distribution of Plex-B1 and Met were investigated by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence in 50 human neoplasias originating in the breast and ovary, and correlated with clinical–pathological data at diagnosis.Results: Plex-B1 and Met were individually expressed in 14% and in 24% of the tumours, respectively. Plex-B1 and Met were co-expressed in 24/50 cases (48%), and in the majority of these (83%) Met was tyrosine phosphorylated. The expression of Plex-B1 or Met alone showed no significant correlation with tumour aggressiveness, whereas advanced stage tumours (III–IV) frequently showed Plex-B1–Met double-positive (9/13). Tumours co-expressing Plex-B1 and Met were characterised by worse grading and higher incidence of lymph node metastases. Out of 22 tumours with lymph node metastases, as many as 19 were Plex-B1 and Met double-positive (p=0.0008), and 17 expressed phosphorylated Met (p=0.002).Conclusions: Plex-B1 assumes a predictive value for unfavourable outcome when co-expressed with Met.

Abstract:
IntroductionSevere attacks of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMO-SD) are improved by plasma exchange (PLEX) given as an adjunctive therapy. Initial studies failed to demonstrate a delay of PLEX treatment influenced clinical outcome; however PLEX was always used late. We examine the clinical consequences of delay in PLEX initiation on severe optic neuritis and spinal cord attacks in NMO-SD.MethodsAll of our patients who suffered attacks of NMO-SD, treated in our centre by PLEX, were retrospectively considered for inclusion. Primary outcome was defined as complete improvement. Secondary poor/good outcomes were respectively defined to be the higher/lower third of Delta-Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) (late minus baseline EDSS). Delays from clinical onset to PLEX initiation were categorised for multivariate analysis.ResultsOf the 60 patients included, NMO-SD criteria (2015) were fulfilled in 92%. One hundred and fifteen attacks were included and received PLEX with a median of 7 days (0–54) after clinical onset. The probability to regain complete improvement continuously decreased from 50% for PLEX given at day 0 to 1%–5% after day 20. Through multivariate analysis, the baseline impairment and PLEX delay were associated with the probability to complete improvement (OR 5.3; 95% CI 1.8 to 15.9). Reducing the PLEX delay also influenced the good secondary outcome but not the poor secondary outcome.ConclusionsThese results confirm an improved clinical benefit of early initiation of PLEX during severe attacks of NMO-SD. Perceiving PLEX as a rescue therapy only after steroid failure could be deleterious.

Abstract:
Background. Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) attacks are poorly controlled by steroids and evolve in stepwise neurological impairments. Assuming the strong humoral response underlying NMO attacks, plasma exchange (PLEX) is an appropriate technique in severe NMO attacks.Objective. Presenting an up-to-date review of the literature of PLEX in NMO.Methods. We summarize the rationale of PLEX in relation with the physiology of NMO, the main technical aspects, and the available studies.Results. PLEX in severe attacks from myelitis or optic neuritis are associated with a better outcome, depending on PLEX delay (“time is cord and eyes”). NMO-IgG status has no influence. Finally, we build up an original concept linking the inner dynamic of the lesion, the timing of PLEX onset and the expected clinical results.Conclusion. PLEX is a safe and efficient add-on therapy in NMO, in synergy with steroids. Large therapeutic trials are required to definitely assess the procedure and define the time opportunity window.

Abstract:
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe complication of natalizumab treatment. Restoring immune function by plasmapheresis/immunoadsorption (PLEX/IA) is important for the outcome of PML. We report on four multiple sclerosis (MS) patients whom developed PML during natalizumab treatment, in whom we measured serum natalizumab concentrations before and during PLEX. Depending on the serum natalizumab concentration at the time of PML diagnosis, the number of PLEX treatments necessary to reach subtherapeutic serum natalizumab concentrations is variable. Measuring serum natalizumab concentrations before and during PLEX is helpful to determine the optimum number of PLEX treatments in individual MS patients with PML.

Abstract:
Introduction: In acute inflammatory optic neuritis (ON) as a typical onset of multiple sclerosis (MS), only few studies have investigated plasma exchange (PLEX) as a sequential treatment after insufficient response to high-dose intravenous glucocorticosteroids. Therefore, we aimed to investigate treatment outcome on visual acuity (VA) with PLEX in patients with steroid-refractory ON. Methods: In our retrospective monocentric study, medical records were screened for patients with acute ON as their first relapse with sequential MS diagnosis or with an established MS diagnosis from the Bern University Hospital (Switzerland) that were treated with PLEX between 2016 and 2018 due to lacking steroid response. VA prior to steroid administration, and before and after PLEX were assessed and compared using the Friedman multiple comparison test. Results: In total, 18 patients were included in the analysis. Interval from symptom onset to PLEX was 20.3 days (mean, 95% CI 14.8–25.9). Relevant functional improvement (VA of ≥0.5, after a mean of 15.9 (13.3–18.5) days after start of PLEX) was detected in 16/18 (88.9%) with a significant amelioration as compared to VA before glucocorticosteroids and before PLEX (p < 0.0001). VA improvement at a later time point (38.1 weeks, 25.2–51.0) was present in 15/16 (93.8%) patients. No serious adverse events were detected. PLEX could be performed via peripheral access in 13/18 patients (72.2%). Conclusion: Our study demonstrates significant improvements of VA with PLEX in a cohort of MS patients with steroid-refractory ON. High response rates may be due to the timely treatment initiation. Despite the small sample size, our data support the early use of PLEX in steroid-refractory ON with a favorable safety profile.

Abstract:
Pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been implicated in a wide range of disease causing infections. It is essential to generate a method for detecting and differentiating each pathotype of E. coli which is more quickly and efficiently by using less reagent. This study aimed to evaluate a SYBR Green multiplex real-time PCR method for detecting four types of pathogenic E. coli. Two of multiplex real-time PCR system, 6-plex and 3-plex, were set to detect six different virulence factors from ETEC, EPEC, EHEC, and EIEC and evaluate the melting curves and specificity compared to simplex method. The results showed that 3-plex rt-PCR method gave more reliable melting curves than 6-plex. The 3-plex rt-PCR also provided similar melting value (Tm) to simplex system. The results of this specificity assay supported the selection of 3-plex rt-PCR conditions for detection of pathogenic E. coli.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the evolution of my practice as it developed over my two years of graduate school. I entered school interested in the built environment and how structures helped create subjectivity and provided sites for material and phenomenological transformations. Early in graduate school, I developed a photography series that investigated these issues. However, an awareness of a conversation occurring in the larger art world that questioned the efficacy of photography drove me to consider ways to extend my practice into sculpture and installation. Over the next two semesters, I developed my ideas of light, form and structure into video and sculpture installations that extended these ideas out into the space of the viewer. Ultimately, an interest in light and surface led me back to photography and to the realization that a studio practice that focused on photography about photography opened up avenues that allowed a photographic practice not to become stagnant but rather to grow and expand.

Abstract:
Detta projekt var ett samarbete mellan Aplex Bio AB och Scilifelab. Projektets mål var att utveckla en molekylär diagnostisk panel med förmågan att detektera och diskriminera mellan 14 olika typer av patogener. Projektet innehåller 4 kapitel med fokus på olika mål. I första kapitlet utvecklades en metod för att karakterisera emissioner av fluorescerande nanopartikel kluster. Den första utvärderade metoden utnyttjade klick-kemi för att binda nanopartiklarna till makrostrukturer uppbyggda av amplifierat DNA. Den andra utvärderade metoden skapade aggregerade komplex av nanopartiklar med amplifierat DNA för att utvärdera partiklarnas emissioner. I kapitel 2 av projektet användes azid-funktionaliserade nanopartiklar levererade av Aplex Bio AB för att tvärbinda DBCO modifierade oligonukleotider. Sedan utvecklades en hybridiserings baserad metod för att kvantifiera relativa mängden oligonukleotider på partiklarna. Denna metod användes för att reproducerbart funktionalisera partiklar och utveckla nanopartikel-sonder som kan binda till DNA genom hybridisering. I kapitel 2 utvärderades även hur effektivt och specifikt de utvecklade nanopartikel-sonderna hybridiserar till DNA. I kapitel 3 utvärderades amplifiering av syntetiska ssDNA sekvenser valda från genetiska markörer av 14 patogener, DNA amplifierades med metoden RCA. Målet var att utvärdera specificiteten av amplifieringen. Specifik amplifiering av varje DNA sekvens i panelen var en förutsättning för att möjliggöra detektion och diskriminering av alla patogener i panelen. I kapitel 4 var målet att utveckla en kostnadseffektiv metod för att funktionalisera nanopartiklar med oligonukleotid sekvenser. För att göra detta användes DBCO-NHS-ester reagens och amin-modifierade oligonukleotider. Förverkligande av detta projekt skulle skapa en diagnostisk panel med potentialen att påverka det diagnostiska fältet på en global skala. När detta projekt är fullt utvecklat kan panelen modifieras för detektion av önskade DNA/RNA sekvenser vilket möjliggör ett mångfalt av applikationer, detta skulle göra panelen konkurrerande med dagens diagnostiska metoder då den kan användas i existerande mikroskopiuppsättningar.<br>This work was a collaboration between Aplex Bio AB and Scilifelab with the aim of developing a molecular assay capable of detecting and discriminating between 14 different pathogenic targets. There are 4 chapters with focus on different goals. In chapter one a method of evaluating emissions of fluorescent nanoparticle clusters was developed. The first approach of evaluating nanoparticle emissions was to utilize click chemistry to bind nanoparticles to macroscale structures of amplified DNA targets. The second evaluated approach was the formation of aggregated complexes of nanoparticles and amplified DNA targets. The second chapter of the thesis used azide functionalized nanoparticles supplied by Aplex Bio AB to utilize azide groups as crosslinkers and use them to functionalize the nanoparticles with DBCO oligos. A hybridization-based method was then developed to quantify relative oligo densities on the nanoparticles, enabling reproducible oligo functionalization of nanoparticles, producing nanoparticle probes that can bind to DNA. The final task of chapter 2 was evaluating the binding efficiency and specificity of the developed nanoparticle probes. The third chapter of the thesis evaluated amplification of synthetic ssDNA sequences corresponding to genetic markers of 14 pathogenic targets using RCA. The goal was to confirm specificity of chosen padlock probes and corresponding synthetic targets for each pathogen. Specific amplification of each target was a prerequisite to enable detecting and discriminating between the 14 pathogenic targets. In chapter 4 the goal was to develop a cost-effective method of oligo functionalization for nanoparticles. This chapter evaluated two main approaches of using DBCO-NHS-ester reagents to perform DBCO modification of amine-oligos. The realization of this work would develop an assay that has the potential to impact the field of diagnostics on a global scale. When fully developed, the molecular assay can be modified to detect any RNA/DNA targets which enables numerous applications, making the assay a competitive diagnostic tool which can be implemented in existing microscopy systems.

This cannot be achieved using current commercial digital PCR systems, and should increase the sensitivity and reliability of the detection of pathogens. Importantly, the system will guarantee the presence of multiple markers within the same genome and enable accurate identification, and bring the false positive rate close to zero. As a first application, we will demonstrate the possibility to co-localize 3 virulence genes in the E.coli strain O157:H7, a major foodborne pathogen, which has to be detected in clinical feces samples or food samples, which may also contain non pathogenic E. coli carrying only a subset of these virulence genes. E. Coli will be encapsulated in micrometric droplets, lysed by heating in situ prior performing a multicolour end-point Taqman assay. Our objective is to demonstrate that this test can be successfully applied to real clinical or food samples

The main concepts of MPLS and TE are presented as reference, as well as a brief description of NIST Switch, the MPLS software chosen for the PLEX MPLS implementation. The analysis, project and implementation of PLEX MPLS are presented, since are significant part of the developed work. PLEX not only uses, but also extends NIST Switch functionalities to offer a more complete and efficient TE scheme. In the analysis phase the main requirements for the PLEX implementation are specified, following a well-known Software Engineering methodology. The solutions found for the problems identified in the analysis phase are presented in the project phase alongside with a specification of the components that will be implemented. In the next phase, the implementation of PLEX is discussed focusing on the most important characteristics of PLEX components and justifying the implementation ecisions. In order to validate PLEX implementation and its proposal, some experiments were made in a test network with reallive traffic. These experiments are described and its results analyzed. The results obtained clearly indicate the importance and utility of TE schemes based on MPLS. Also an interesting TE methodology compiled from several proposals is presented. Finally, possible improvements and future work on PLEX MPLS are indicated.<br>Mestrado<br>Engenharia de Computação<br>Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to explore the technical implementation of common game design theory in successful PC games today. The study uses a quantitative study to analyze 23 modern successful PC games to identify common success factors which are connected to Arrasvuors et al. (2009) theory of the Playful Experiences Framework, Sutton-Smiths (2001) seven rhetorics of play and Max-Neefs (1991) human needs matrix. The results is a practical checklist of 63 success factors for use in game development. These success factors are present in the successful games and described for implementation in game design for the PC platform. These success factors are then divided into the 7 categories: freedom, immersion, challenge, multiplayer, personal, preference and human needs to provide a better overview of the success factor checklist and connect them to proven game design theory.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents a new Computer-Aided Design (CAD) synthesis model which uses Plex Grammar as structural relationship descriptors and NURBS surface representation for constructing standard and non-standard solid entities. Here, the designer uses a syntactic design methodology for early topological and geometrical definition of the structure of concept alternatives resulting from the design process. This syntactic scheme provides the capability of describing a large set of complex structures by using a small set of simple entities. The recursive nature of the grammar and the hierarchical representation of the structure makes the description of complex structures simple and under the direct control of the designer. An object structure constructive tree is generated and subsequently translated into Plex Grammar production rules in order to form an Interconnection Matrix (ICM) expressing. The resulting Plex structure defined in the ICM expresses the topological information among entities which form the specific types of objects. By modifying the Plex grammar rules, various objects with different geometry and topology can easily be reconstructed. Compared to conventional solid modeling techniques, this approach provides more systematic object generation, easy manipulation and modification, control over congruity and the ability to represent sculptured shapes. Several examples of syntactic solid modeling applied in design synthesis will be presented for further usage in downstream applications.
