Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the performance of screening mammography versus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) users.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 4628 women who had mammography or breast MRI screening from the beginning of HRT use at three institutions from April 2005 to December 2015. Information of demographics, number of biopsies performed and pathologic outcomes were collected. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) of screening mammography and MRI were compared.

Results: Totally 11,540 screening studies were collected, including 9580 mammography studies and 1960 MRI studies. Breast cancer was diagnosed in 26 patients. Of the 26 cancers, MRI detected 24 and mammography detected 15. For mammography, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 57.7%, 99.1%, 14.6%, and 99.9%, respectively; for MRI, those values were 92%, 92.5%, 14.2%, and 99.9%, respectively. MRI screening was much more sensitive than mammography screening (p < 0.05, 92% vs 57.7%). There was no difference of specificity, PPV and NPV between two modalities.

Conclusions: Our data showed that screening breast MRI may be a useful adjunct modality of mammography in HRT users.

Backbone resonance assignments of PhoCl, a photocleavable protein.

Biomol NMR Assign

PhoCl is a photocleavable protein engineered from a green-to-red photoconvertible fluorescent protein by circular permutation, and has been used in various optogenetic applications including precise control of protein localization and activity in cells. Upon violet light illumination, PhoCl undergoes a β-elimination reaction to be cleaved at the chromophore, resulting in spontaneous dissociation into a large empty barrel and a small C-terminal peptide. However, the structural determinants and the mechanism of the PhoCl photocleavage remain elusive, hindering the further development of more robust photocleavable optogenetic tools.

Disentangling the neural underpinnings of response inhibition in disruptive behavior and co-occurring ADHD.

While impaired response inhibition has been reported in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), findings in disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) have been inconsistent, probably due to unaccounted effects of co-occurring ADHD in DBD. This study investigated the associations of behavioral and neural correlates of response inhibition with DBD and ADHD symptom severity, covarying for each other in a dimensional approach. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data were available for 35 children and adolescents with DBDs (8-18 years old, 19 males), and 31 age-matched unaffected controls (18 males) while performing a performance-adjusted stop-signal task.
