Abstract
We report precision measurements of the Feynman x (xF) dependence, and first measurements of the transverse momentum (pT) dependence, of transverse single-spin asymmetries for the production of pi0 mesons from polarized proton collisions at sqrt[s] = 200 GeV. The xF dependence of the results is in fair agreement with perturbative QCD model calculations that identify orbital motion of quarks and gluons within the proton as the origin of the spin effects. Results for the pT dependence at fixed xF are not consistent with these same perturbative QCD-based calculations.

Abstract
Indomethacin micro-crystals sized approximately 2 microm have been encapsulated with polyelectrolyte multi-layers for the purpose of controlled release. Charged linear poly (dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA) and poly (styrene sulphonate) (PSS) were alternatively deposited on approximately 2 microm drug micro-crystals. The release of indomethacin from coated micro-crystals was measured in aqueous solutions of pH 1.4 and 6.8. The polyelectrolyte multi-layer capsule thickness was proved to control. The results provided a method of achieving prolonged drug release through self-assembly of polymeric shells on drug microcrystals.

Abstract
We report a new STAR measurement of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A(LL) for inclusive jet production at midrapidity in polarized p + p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=200 GeV. The data, which cover jet transverse momenta 5<p(T)<30 GeV/c, are substantially more precise than previous measurements. They provide significant new constraints on the gluon spin contribution to the nucleon spin through the comparison to predictions derived from one global fit to polarized deep-inelastic scattering measurements.

Abstract
Brachial plexus injuries are generally rare and a double-superior-trunk injury of the brachial plexus has never been reported before. We report the first case of a brachial plexus injury in a 43-year-old Chinese male with a double superior trunk. This was observed incidentally during an operation 1 month after initial traction injury sustained in a car accident. The double superior trunk of the brachial plexus was formed by the double roots of C5 and C6, respectively. Six months after discharge, the patient reported the recovery of most of the function of his left arm except the muscles innervated by the radial nerve. Two years after discharge, he reported almost full functional recovery of his left arm. We discuss what is known about anatomical variations of the brachial plexus, and the possible association between this novel brachial plexus anatomy and the almost complete functional recovery of the arm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is one of the frequent and early findings in multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVE To determine the relation between cognitive abnormalities and the extent of macroscopic and microscopic tissue damage in the corpus callosum (CC), revealed by conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetisation transfer imaging (MTI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). METHODS Conventional dual-echo, DTI and MTI of the brain were obtained from 36 patients with relapsing remitting (RR) MS, and 13 age and gender matched normal controls. Voxels from CC were identified using a tractography based algorithm. Mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC(av)) and MT ratio were measured for the CC as defined by tractography. Corpus callosum area (CCA) was measured using edge detection on the mid-sagittal slice on high resolution MRI images. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) were scored. RESULTS Nine patients (25%) were found to be cognitively impaired. The CCA was not significantly different in the whole cohort of patients from controls (608.2 (428.6-713.0) mm(2) vs 674.2 (585.8-754.4) mm(2), p = 0.1), but was smaller in cognitively impaired than unimpaired group (417 (290-634) mm(2) vs 652 (511-718) mm(2), p = 0.04). The mean MT ratio of CC in patients was lower than in controls (0.41 (0.39-0.042) vs 0.43 (0.42-0.43), p<0.001). The ADC(av) in the CC in patients was higher than in controls (0.94 (0.89-0.99) vs 0.87 (0.85-0.89), p<0.001). PASAT was correlated with mean MT ratio (r = 0.47, p = 0.0046), ADC(av) (r = -0.53, p = 0.0012), CCA (r = 0.42, p = 0.01) and total T(2) lesion load (r = -0.4, p = 0.017), but not with T(2) lesion load within the CC (r = -0.24, p = 0.16), disease duration (r = -0.2, p = 0.24) or EDSS (r = -0.27, p = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS ADC(av), MTR and atrophy measures in the CC may offer a sensitive method detecting subtle macroscopic and microscopic changes associated with cognitive impairment in MS.

Abstract
The objective was to determine the effects of adding progesterone, 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E2), and FSH during in vitro fertilization on development and sex ratio of murine embryos. Progesterone (33-330 pg/mL), 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E2); 10-70 pg/mL), and FSH (0.01-0.05 IU/mL), were added to human tubal fluid (HTF); this medium (with or without hormones) was used to pre-incubate sperm (2h) and to co-incubate sperm and oocytes (6h). Thereafter, the ova were washed and incubated in mM16 medium and embryo sex was determined (by PCR) on Day 4 (insemination=Day 0). There was no effect (P>0.05) of hormone treatments on rates of cleavage (6 h after cessation of co-incubation with sperm). The only significant effects of added hormones on development were a decrease in the rate of development to at least the morula stage in 165 pg/mL progesterone (0.46+/-0.03 vs. 0.54+/-0.05 in the control, mean+/-S.D.; P<0.05) and a decrease in the blastocyst rate in 0.03 IU/mL FSH (0.34+/-0.00 vs. 0.42+/-0.04 in the control, P<0.05). However, the ratio of male to female embryos was 1.61 and 2.90 following the addition of 99 pg/mL progesterone and 70 pg/mL 17beta-E2, respectively; both of these ratios were different (P<0.01) than in the control group (1.20). In contrast, the addition of FSH to the medium had no significant effect on this ratio (range, 0.78-1.02). We concluded that the addition of progesterone and estradiol to the media during in vitro fertilization did not enhance embryonic development, but significantly increased the proportion of male murine embryos.

Abstract
Application of foreign clinical data across geographic regions can accelerate drug development. Drug disposition can be variable, and identification of factors influencing responsible pharmacokinetic/pharmacogenomic approaches could facilitate the universal application of foreign data and reduce the total amount of phase III clinical trials evaluating risks in different populations. Our objective was to establish and compare genotype (major cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes)/phenotype associations for Japanese (native and first- and third-generation Japanese living abroad), Caucasian, Chinese, and Korean populations using a standard drug panel. The mean metabolic ratios (MRs) for the four ethnic groups were similar except for a lower activity of CYP2D6 in Caucasians and CYP2C19 in Asians. Genotype, not ethnicity, impacted the MR for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6; neither affected CYP1A2, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4/5 activities. We conclude that equivalent plasma drug concentrations and metabolic profiles can be expected for native Japanese, first- and third-generation Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese for compounds handled through these six CYP enzymes.

Abstract
SETTING One hundred and twenty-nine counties in Yunnan, a mountainous province in China. OBJECTIVE To document the relationship between patient delays and distance to local county tuberculosis (TB) centres. DESIGN A computerised medical record-based study of a cohort of 10356 new smear-positive TB cases in 2005. RESULTS The median total delay was 71 days (interquartile range [IQR] 38-128), with a median long patient delay of 60 days (IQR 28-111) and a relatively short median health care system delay of 4 days (IQR 2-13). Older age (>40 years), being an agriculturer and poor economic status were significantly associated with longer patient delays. Risk of delay increased with increasing geographical distance, with a greater effect on relatively shorter patient delays. Using the first quartile of distance as the reference group, hazard ratios for subsequent quartiles were 0.61 (0.57-0.65), 0.30 (0.28-0.33) and 0.15 (0.14-0.17) for short patient delays (<or=60 days), and 1.04 (0.94-1.17), 0.69 (0.63-0.77) and 0.43 (0.39-0.47) for long patient delays (>60 days). CONCLUSION Patients living in remote areas need support to overcome the barrier posed by geographical distance, which has a greater effect in the initial phases of the disease.

Abstract
We have investigated the influence of impurities on the possible supersolid transition in 4He by systematically enriching isotopically pure samples with 3He. The addition of 3He broadens the onset of nonclassical rotational inertia and shifts it to higher temperature, suggesting that the phenomenon is correlated with the condensation of 3He atoms onto the dislocation network in solid 4He.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) frequently have symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Some patients with DM1 show sleep-onset REM, similar to that observed in narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is characterized by impaired hypocretin (Hcrt) neurotransmission. OBJECTIVE To test for dysregulation of Hcrt neurotransmission in a prospective cohort of patients with DM1. METHODS Hcrt levels in CSF were measured by radioimmunoassay. Sleep physiology was assessed by overnight polysomnography (PSG) and a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). Splicing of Hcrt receptor 1 and 2 (HcrtR1 and HcrtR2) mRNA was examined in postmortem samples of temporal cortex. RESULTS Seventeen of 38 patients with DM1 reported symptoms of EDS. Among patients with DM1 with EDS who underwent PSG/MSLT, 7 of 13 showed reduced sleep latency, sleep-onset REM, or both. However, CSF Hcrt levels in DM1 (mean 277 pg/mL, n = 38) were not different from controls (mean 277 pg/mL, n = 33). Also, splicing of HcrtR1 and HcrtR2 mRNA in patients with DM1 was similar to controls. CONCLUSIONS Excessive daytime sleepiness and dysregulation of REM sleep occur frequently in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). However, the pathophysiologic basis is distinct from narcolepsy, as patients with DM1 do not have a consistent defect of Hcrt release or receptor splicing.

Abstract
Due to its physical and chemical characteristics, 177Lu is a very attractive radionuclide for use in nuclear medicine. This paper introduces a method for a precise calculation of the irradiation yield of 177Lu produced by neutron activation of 176Lu in a nuclear reactor. The calculation is based on the Westcott convention which requires the knowledge of the neutron flux parameters. In this work, the neutron flux parameters of the new research reactor FRM-II (Garching, Germany) were determined and the stability of thermal neutron flux and thermal neutron flux temperature was monitored. The comparison of theoretically calculated and experimentally determined yield for Lu176(n,gamma)Lu177 reaction is presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS [corrected] Leptin has recently been found to play an important role in the development of autoimmune diseases. Our study is designed to investigate the expression and possible role of leptin in the pathogenesis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease, one of the common types of autoimmune uveitis in China. METHODS Leptin levels in serums of 20 active, 16 inactive VKH patients and 20 healthy controls were measured using ELISA. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) separated from active VKH patients and healthy controls were cultured with recombinant human leptin, and cell proliferation was assayed by [(3)H]-TdR incorporation. Cytokine levels in the supernatant of PBMCs cultured in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) upon stimulation with leptin were assayed by ELISA. RESULTS Our results showed that leptin was significantly increased in the serum of active VKH patients compared with that in inactive VKH patients and healthy controls. Leptin levels in active VKH patients remained markedly higher when divided by body mass index (BMI). PBMCs cultured with leptin induced a marked cell proliferation and profound secretion of IFN-gamma and IL-17. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that leptin may be involved in the development of VKH disease possibly by promoting an immune response.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the opening angle distribution between pairs of jets produced in high-energy collisions of transversely polarized protons. The measurement probes (Sivers) correlations between the transverse spin orientation of a proton and the transverse momentum directions of its partons. With both beams polarized, the wide pseudorapidity (-1< or = eta < or = +2) coverage for jets permits separation of Sivers functions for the valence and sea regions. The resulting asymmetries are all consistent with zero and considerably smaller than Sivers effects observed in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. We discuss theoretical attempts to reconcile the new results with the sizable transverse spin effects seen in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and forward hadron production in pp collisions.

Abstract
Honokiol, a well-tolerated natural product, can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. But its water insolubility hampers its systemic administration for therapy of cancer. As a drug delivery system, the pegylated liposome (PEGL) can increase the water solubility and targeting of the drug. Honokiol has been successfully encapsulated by PEGL in our laboratory. We wondered whether the combination treatment with pegylated liposomal honokiol (H-PEGL) and cisplatin (DDP) could improve the antitumor efficacy in ovarian carcinoma. H-PEGL could introduce apoptosis of SKOV3 cells in vitro, which was quantified by flow cytometric analysis, and the cellular morphologic changes were determined by propidium iodide staining. In a human ovarian carcinoma mouse model, combination treatment with H-PEGL (0.4 mg/day for 30 days; intraperitoneal) and DDP (5 mg/kg on days 7, 11, 15, 19; intraperitoneal) acted synergistically to inhibit tumor growth by 91.48% without notable toxicity, but H-PEGL and DDP alone only inhibit tumor growth by 66.83% and 52.5% as compared to the NaCl solution control, respectively. Assessment of microvessel density and apoptosis index by CD31 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling immunohistochemistry respectively suggested that the antitumor activity of H-PEGL is mediated by angiogenesis inhibition and introduction of apoptosis. Our results showed us a splendid prospect of the clinical application of combination treatment on patients suffering from ovarian cancer with H-PEGL and DDP.

Abstract
We present first measurements of the phi-meson elliptic flow (v2(pT)) and high-statistics pT distributions for different centralities from radical sNN=200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. In minimum bias collisions the v2 of the phi meson is consistent with the trend observed for mesons. The ratio of the yields of the Omega to those of the phi as a function of transverse momentum is consistent with a model based on the recombination of thermal s quarks up to pT approximately 4 GeV/c, but disagrees at higher momenta. The nuclear modification factor (R CP) of phi follows the trend observed in the K S 0 mesons rather than in Lambda baryons, supporting baryon-meson scaling. These data are consistent with phi mesons in central Au+Au collisions being created via coalescence of thermalized s quarks and the formation of a hot and dense matter with partonic collectivity at RHIC.
