Characterizing psychopharmacological prescribing practices in a large cohort of adolescents with borderline personality disorder.

Background: Psychiatric medications are not efficacious for treating borderline personality disorder (BPD), yet many patients with BPD are prescribed multiple psychiatric medications. This study aimed to (1) characterize psychiatric medication prescribing practices in adolescents with BPD and (2) assess whether demographic features are associated with prescribing practices.

Method: This sample was N = 2950 pediatric patients with BPD (ages 10-19) across the U.

Process evaluation of implementation of the early stages of a whole systems approach to obesity in a small Island.

Background: The small Atlantic island of St Helena is a United Kingdom Overseas Territory (UKOT) with a high prevalence of childhood obesity (over a quarter of 4-5 and 10-11 year olds) and, anecdotally, adulthood obesity and its associated health detriments. St Helena have taken a whole systems approach to obesity (WSAO) to address the issue. A WSAO recognises the factors that impact obesity as a complex system and requires a 'health in all policies' approach.

Interpersonal coping in sport: A systematic review.

Purpose: To systematically search for, appraise, and synthesize peer-reviewed literature on interpersonal coping (IC) in sport.

Design: A systematic review adhering to PRISMA-P guidelines.

Method: Systematic searches of CINAHL, PsycArticles, APA PsycInfo, and SPORTDiscus were conducted.

Ripple effects mapping: capturing the wider impacts of systems change efforts in public health.

Background: Systems approaches are currently being advocated and implemented to address complex challenges in Public Health. These approaches work by bringing multi-sectoral stakeholders together to develop a collective understanding of the system, and then to identify places where they can leverage change across the system. Systems approaches are unpredictable, where cause-and-effect cannot always be disentangled, and unintended consequences - positive and negative - frequently arise.

Hsp90 inhibition induces both protein-specific and global changes in the ubiquitinome.

Unlabelled: Inhibition of the essential chaperone Hsp90 with drugs causes a global perturbation of protein folding and the depletion of direct substrates of Hsp90, also called clients. Ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation play a key role in cellular stress responses, but the impact of Hsp90 inhibition on the ubiquitinome has not been characterized on a global scale. We used stable isotope labeling and antibody-based peptide enrichment to quantify more than 1500 protein sites modified with a Gly-Gly motif, the remnant of ubiquitination, in human T-cells treated with an Hsp90 inhibitor.

Addressing trypsin bias in large scale (phospho)proteome analysis by size exclusion chromatography and secondary digestion of large post-trypsin peptides.

In the vast majority of bottom-up proteomics studies, protein digestion is performed using only mammalian trypsin. Although it is clearly the best enzyme available, the sole use of trypsin rarely leads to complete sequence coverage, even for abundant proteins. It is commonly assumed that this is because many tryptic peptides are either too short or too long to be identified by RPLC-MS/MS.

Relative protein quantification by isobaric SILAC with immonium ion splitting (ISIS).

Metabolic labeling techniques have recently become popular tools for the quantitative profiling of proteomes. Classical stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell cultures (SILAC) uses pairs of heavy/light isotopic forms of amino acids to introduce predictable mass differences in protein samples to be compared. After proteolysis, pairs of cognate precursor peptides can be correlated, and their intensities can be used for mass spectrometry-based relative protein quantification.

Comprehensive analysis of proteins secreted by Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton violaceum under in vitro conditions.

Dermatophytes cause most superficial mycoses in humans and animals. Their pathogenicity is probably linked with the secretion of proteins degrading keratinised structures. Using 2D-PAGE and a shotgun mass spectrometry approach, we identified 80 proteins from Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton violaceum secretomes, under conditions mimicking those in the host.

Calpain 3 cleaves filamin C and regulates its ability to interact with gamma- and delta-sarcoglycans.

Calpain 3 (C3) is the only muscle-specific member of the calcium-dependent protease family. Although neither its physiological function nor its in vivo substrates are known, C3 must be an important protein for normal muscle function as mutations in the C3 gene result in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. Previous reports have shown that the ubiquitous calpains (mu and m) proteolyze filamins in nonmuscle cells.
