Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) signalling is well known for its multifaceted functions in development and tissue homoeostasis. The EGF family of ligands and receptors (ERBB family) have also been extensively investigated for their roles in promoting tumourigenesis and metastasis in a variety of cancer types. Recent findings indicate that EGF signalling is an important mediator of bone metastasis in breast, prostate and kidney cancers. The EGF signalling stimulates the growth of bone metastasis directly by increasing tumour cell proliferation and indirectly by engaging bone stromal cell in metastasis-promoting activities. Therefore, molecular targeting of ERBB receptors may benefit patients with bone metastasis and should be evaluated in clinical trials.

Abstract
Novel therapies are needed to address the vascular endothelial cell (EC) barrier disruption that occurs in inflammatory diseases such as acute lung injury (ALI). We previously demonstrated the potent barrier-enhancing effects of both sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and the structurally similar compound FTY720 [2-amino-2-(2-[4-octylphenyl]ethyl)-1,3-propanediol] in inflammatory lung injury. In this study, we examined the therapeutic potential of several novel FTY720 analogs to reduce vascular leak. Similar to S1P and FTY720, the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of FTY720 phosphonate and enephosphonate analogs produce sustained EC barrier enhancement in vitro, as seen by increases in transendothelial electrical resistance (TER). In contrast, the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of FTY720-regioisomeric analogs disrupt EC barrier integrity in a dose-dependent manner. Barrier-enhancing FTY720 analogs demonstrate a wider protective concentration range in vitro (1-50 microM) and greater potency than either S1P or FTY720. In contrast to FTY720-induced EC barrier enhancement, S1P and the FTY720 analogs dramatically increase TER within minutes in association with cortical actin ring formation. Unlike S1P, these FTY720 analogs exhibit differential phosphorylation effects without altering the intracellular calcium level. Inhibitor studies indicate that barrier enhancement by these analogs involves signaling via G(i)-coupled receptors, tyrosine kinases, and lipid rafts. Consistent with these in vitro responses, the (S)-phosphonate analog of FTY720 significantly reduces multiple indices of alveolar and vascular permeability in a lipopolysaccharide-mediated murine model of ALI (without significant alterations in leukocyte counts). These results demonstrate the capacity for FTY720 analogs to significantly decrease pulmonary vascular leakage and inflammation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
3529 Background: Chidamide (CS055/HBI-8000) is a new benzamide type of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with low nanomolar activity against HDAC1, 2, 3 and 10. This Phase I study evaluated the safety and tolerability of chidamide in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas. Methods: 31 pts with refractory or relapsed advanced solid tumors (22) and lymphomas (9) were enrolled in this study. Escalating doses of 5, 10, 17.5, 25, 32.5 and 50 mg Chidamide (each with 3 to 7 pts) were administered orally either twice or three times per week for 4 consecutive weeks every 6 weeks. Results: No dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were identified in the 2 x per week cohorts (22 pts) up to 50 mg; G2 and G3 hematological toxicities (leukopenia/neutropenia and thrombocytopenia) were observed at 50 mg. DLTs were reported as G3 diarrhea or vomiting in 2 pts in the 3 x per week cohort at 50 mg. Common adverse events were G1/G2, fatigue (n = 11), thrombocytopenia (n = 9), anorexia (n = 8), nausea/vomiting (n = 7), leukopenia/neutropenia (n = 6), hypochromia (n = 6), and diarrhea (n = 5). No cystitis, pericarditis, pericardial effusion or prolonged QTc intervals were observed. Single dose PK analysis in pts with 25, 32.5 and 50 mg revealed T1/2 of 16.8–18.3 h, Tmax of 1–2 h in most cases, and a dose-related increase in Cmax and AUC. Multiple dose PK analysis in pts with 32.5 mg 3 x per week suggested drug accumulation with this regimen. Significant induction of histone (H3) acetylation was observed in peripheral white blood cells, which lasted for 2–3 days in most pts after single dosing. 25 pts with total treatment cycles of 49 (range 1–6) were evaluable for efficacy. 4 pts with T-cell lymphomas (4/5 evaluable) and 1 pt with submandibular adenoid cystic carcinoma achieved PR, and 11 pts (2 B-cell lymphomas and 9 solid tumors) experienced SD. Conclusions: Chidamide was well-tolerated in pts with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas in the tested regimens. In addition, the compound exhibited a relatively long half-life, a long-lasting biomarker response and encouraging antitumor activity at well-tolerated doses. The overall phase I results recommend the 2 x per week regimen for phase II studies. [Table: see text]

Abstract
The neuropeptide galanin has been shown to play a role in psychiatric disorders as well as in other biological processes including regulation of pain threshold through interactions with three G-protein coupled receptors, galanin receptor subtypes 1-3 (GalR1-3). While most of the pharmacological studies on galanin in stress-related disorders have been done with rats, the continuous development of genetically engineered mice involving galanin or its receptor subtype(s) validates the importance of mouse pharmacological studies. The present study on mice examined the homeostatic, endocrinological and neuroanatomical effects of the galanin, injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.), in regulation of stress responses after restraint stress. Furthermore, the roles of GalR1 on these effects were studied using GalR1 knockout (KO) mice. The core body temperature and the locomotor activity were monitored with radio telemetry devices. Galanin (i.c.v.) decreased locomotor activity and exerted a bidirectional effect on the restraint stress-induced hyperthermia; a high dose of galanin significantly attenuated the stress-induced hyperthermic response, while a low dose of galanin moderately enhanced this response. The bidirectional effect of galanin was correlated with changes in stress hormone levels (adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone). To neuroanatomically localize the effects of galanin on stress response, cFos immunoreactivity was assessed in galanin receptor rich areas; paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus and the locus coeruleus (LC), respectively. A high dose of galanin significantly induced cFos activity in the LC but not in the PVN. In GalR1KO mice, a high dose of galanin failed to induce any of the above effects, suggesting the pivotal role of GalR1 in decreased locomotor activity and stress-resistant effects caused by galanin i.c.v. injection studied here.

Abstract
Medical records of 32 women with abdominal incision endometriosis who underwent surgical treatment in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital at Fudan University between September 1999 and March 2006 were reviewed retrospectively. All cases concerning the diagnosis of endometriosis were confirmed by two gynaecological pathologists. The median age was 32 years (range from 25 to 45). A total of 31 patients had a history of caesarean section, and one case underwent ovarian endometrioid cystectomy. All abdominal incision endometriosis presented with a mass in the abdominal scar. Among them, there were 30 patients who complained of cyclical pain during menses. All of the 32 cases underwent surgical treatment and had follow-up from 10 months to 6 years; there was no recurrence of endometriosis in 31 cases. Abdominal incision endometriosis is rare in women and most cases present following caesarean section. It is suggested that during caesarean section, precautions need to be taken to avoid transplantation of endometrium into the abdominal incision. Surgical treatment is recommended to excise the lesion completely. The frozen section is performed during the operation due to the possibility of malignancy in abdomen incision endometriosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by persistent inflammation of sinonasal mucosa. Glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) is a recently described anti-inflammatory mediator. OBJECTIVE Here we analysed the expression of GILZ in CRSsNP and CRSwNP, its association with response to surgery, and its cytokine-driven expression regulation in the upper airways. Methods The messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression of GILZ in 33 CRSsNP, 32 CRSwNP, and 11 control samples was assessed by means of a quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Nasal explant culture was used to investigate the effect of IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-13, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha on GILZ mRNA expression in normal sinonasal mucosa. RESULTS The GILZ mRNA and protein expression was significantly suppressed in both CRSsNP and CRSwNP patients compared with controls. No significant difference in GILZ expression was found between CRSsNP and CRSwNP patients. Comparing patients responsive and patients recalcitrant to surgery, a significant further decrease of GILZ expression was found in recalcitrant patients both in the CRSsNP and in the CRSwNP group. IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, IL-4, and IL-13 reduced, whereas IFN-gamma enhanced GILZ mRNA levels in the sinonasal mucosa. CONCLUSION Down-regulated expression of GILZ may contribute to the pathogenesis of CRSsNP and CRSwNP and associate with response to surgery. GILZ expression in the upper airways can be regulated differentially by different cytokines.

Abstract
Assessment of quality of life (QoL) in patients who undergo surgery for brain tumours helps to guide surgery, reduce recurrence and minimize morbidity. This study validated a 25-item, modified QoL questionnaire based on the Medical Outcomes Survey SF-36 and the Karnofsky Performance Scale. The aims were for it to be brain tumour specific for Chinese patients, hence more sensitive, more acceptable, briefer and more easily used. A total of 431 patients with brain tumours were compared with 96 age-matched healthy controls. A surgery-related QoL curve was used to help identify a threshold satisfaction point for QoL. Physiological function, psychological function, satisfaction with medical care and self-care ability of the patients were compared pre-operatively and post-operatively. Cronbach's alpha-coefficient was 0.9521 and the correlation coefficient was 0.8685, suggesting good reliability and repeatability. With the exception of psychological function, which deteriorated, the modified QoL showed significant improvement in physiological function, satisfaction with medical care and self-care ability, and serves to stress the importance of post-operative psychological support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional 34-kDa extracellular matrix protein that can influence the inflammatory process. However, the presence of OPN in human sinonasal mucosa and its roles in the inflammatory process of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are not clear. This study investigated the expression of OPN in human sinonasal mucosa, its cytokine-driven expression regulation, and its effect on cytokine production in sinonasal mucosa. METHODS Surgical samples were investigated by means of quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for evaluation of OPN messenger RNA (mRNA) expression, and the presence and location of OPN protein expression were analyzed using immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, nasal explant culture was used to investigate the mutual regulatory interactions between interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and OPN in sinonasal mucosa. RESULTS Osteopontin expression was significantly upregulated in CRS tissues compared with control tissues. There was a further significant increase of OPN expression in patients with nasal polyps (NPs) and asthma. Immunohistochemistry revealed positive staining of OPN in epithelial cells, submucosal glands, infiltrating cells, and extracellular matrix. Osteopontin mRNA was induced by IFN-gamma, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha, but inhibited by IL-4 and IL-13. On the contrary, OPN induced IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha production in sinonasal mucosa. CONCLUSIONS The expression of OPN is upregulated in CRS. The mutual regulatory interactions between OPN and inflammatory cytokines suggest that OPN may play an important role in the pathogenesis of CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clara cell 10-kDa protein (CC10) is a multifunction protein with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects; hence we compared the CC10 expression between chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients with and without nasal polyps (NPs), analyzed its association with disease severity and response to surgery, and explored its regulation via cytokines. METHODS The plasma and tissue CC10 levels were compared between controls and CRS patients with and without NPs by means of quantitative RT-PCR, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry. Computed tomography (CT) scan and endoscopy findings and symptoms were scored. Nasal explant culture was used to explore the effect of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-4, INF-gamma, and IL-10 on CC10 gene regulation. RESULTS Compared with controls, the CC10 expression in sinonasal mucosa was significantly inhibited in both CRS patients with and without NPs. There was a significant further decrease of CC10 expression in patients with NPs and asthma. No difference in CC10 plasma levels was found between controls and patients. CC10 levels inversely correlated with preoperative CT scores, and postoperative endoscopy and symptom scores. TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-4 inhibited, whereas INF-gamma and IL-10 promoted CC10 production in nasal mucosa. A significantly faster decay of CC10 transcripts was seen after IL-1beta treatment. IL-1beta and IL-10 induced thyroid transcription factor-1 expression. INF-gamma increased, whereas IL-4 inhibited hepatocyte nuclear factor-3alpha expression. CONCLUSION CC10 may take part in the pathogenesis of CRS and correlates with disease severity and response to surgery. Different cytokines can regulate CC10 expression in nasal mucosa differentially through modulating mRNA stability and certain transcriptional factors expression.

Abstract
To correlate thermal dose from focused ultrasound (FUS) with gene expression and tissue injury, a temperature plateau strategy was employed. Plasmids encoding luciferase gene under the control of hsp70B promoter were transfected into the right gastrocnemius muscle in a rat via electroporation. One day after transfection, hind limbs were treated with 3.3-MHz focused ultrasound, using one of four different temperature plateaus with spatial-peak time-average focal temperatures (T(SPTA)) of 46 degrees C, 48 degrees C, 51 degrees C and 62 degrees C. The treatment duration at the plateau temperature was varied from 0 to 30s. Gene expression was analyzed in vivo one day following FUS treatment, and H&E staining was employed to assess tissue injury. Gene activation and tissue damage correlated closely with thermal dose. The highest level of gene activation was induced by FUS at T(SPTA)=51 degrees C for 20s, which was found to be statistically equivalent to that produced by water-bath hyperthermia.
