Abstract
Purpose To determine if the change in tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) at diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI is predictive of pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Materials and Methods In this prospective multicenter study, 272 consecutive women with breast cancer were enrolled at 10 institutions (from August 2012 to January 2015) and were randomized to treatment with 12 weekly doses of paclitaxel (with or without an experimental agent), followed by 12 weeks of treatment with four cycles of anthracycline. Each woman underwent breast DW MRI before treatment, at early treatment (3 weeks), at midtreatment (12 weeks), and after treatment. Percentage change in tumor ADC from that before treatment (ΔADC) was measured at each time point. Performance for predicting pCR was assessed by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the overall cohort and according to tumor hormone receptor (HR)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) disease subtype. Results The final analysis included 242 patients with evaluable serial imaging data, with a mean age of 48 years ± 10 (standard deviation); 99 patients had HR-positive (hereafter, HR+)/HER2-negative (hereafter, HER2-) disease, 77 patients had HR-/HER2- disease, 42 patients had HR+/HER2+ disease, and 24 patients had HR-/HER2+ disease. Eighty (33%) of 242 patients experienced pCR. Overall, ΔADC was moderately predictive of pCR at midtreatment/12 weeks (AUC = 0.60; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.52, 0.68; P = .017) and after treatment (AUC = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.52, 0.69; P = .013). Across the four disease subtypes, midtreatment ΔADC was predictive only for HR+/HER2- tumors (AUC = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.62, 0.89; P < .001). In a test subset, a model combining tumor subtype and midtreatment ΔADC improved predictive performance (AUC = 0.72; 95% CI: 0.61, 0.83) over ΔADC alone (AUC = 0.57; 95% CI: 0.44, 0.70; P = .032.). Conclusion After 12 weeks of therapy, change in breast tumor apparent diffusion coefficient at MRI predicts complete pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. © RSNA, 2018 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) MRI is a promising technique for cancer characterization and treatment monitoring. Knowledge of the reproducibility of DWI metrics in breast tumors is necessary to apply DWI as a clinical biomarker. PURPOSE To evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of breast tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in a multi-institution clinical trial setting, using standardized DWI protocols and quality assurance (QA) procedures. STUDY TYPE Prospective. SUBJECTS In all, 89 women from nine institutions undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for invasive breast cancer. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE DWI was acquired before and after patient repositioning using a four b-value, single-shot echo-planar sequence at 1.5T or 3.0T. ASSESSMENT A QA procedure by trained operators assessed artifacts, fat suppression, and signal-to-noise ratio, and determine study analyzability. Mean tumor ADC was measured via manual segmentation of the multislice tumor region referencing DWI and contrast-enhanced images. Twenty cases were evaluated multiple times to assess intra- and interoperator variability. Segmentation similarity was assessed via the Sørenson-Dice similarity coefficient. STATISTICAL TESTS Repeatability and reproducibility were evaluated using within-subject coefficient of variation (wCV), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), agreement index (AI), and repeatability coefficient (RC). Correlations were measured by Pearson's correlation coefficients. RESULTS In all, 71 cases (80%) passed QA evaluation: 44 at 1.5T, 27 at 3.0T; 60 pretreatment, 11 after 3 weeks of taxane-based treatment. ADC repeatability was excellent: wCV = 4.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.0, 5.7%), ICC = 0.97 (95% CI 0.95, 0.98), AI = 0.83 (95% CI 0.76, 0.87), and RC = 0.16 * 10-3 mm2 /sec (95% CI 0.13, 0.19). The results were similar across field strengths and timepoint subgroups. Reproducibility was excellent: interreader ICC = 0.92 (95% CI 0.80, 0.97) and intrareader ICC = 0.91 (95% CI 0.78, 0.96). DATA CONCLUSION Breast tumor ADC can be measured with excellent repeatability and reproducibility in a multi-institution setting using a standardized protocol and QA procedure. Improvements to DWI image quality could reduce loss of data in clinical trials. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:1617-1628.

Abstract
Localized gingival overgrowths belong to a common group of lesions designated as focal reactive overgrowths. They occur in response to chronic, low-grade irritation caused by plaque or any other irritant. They have multifactorial etiopathology but exhibit similar clinical features with slight variations in patient complaints. Success of the lesions' management depends on formation of healthy contours of the surgical area after excision of lesion and absence of a recurrence. The purpose of case series is to present 6 different cases of localized gingival overgrowths and their management with the following techniques: nonsurgical periodontal treatment, gingivectomy, flap surgery, free gingival graft, gingival unit, and connective tissue graft.

Abstract
Background Intrinsic molecular profiling of breast cancer provides clinically relevant information that helps tailor therapy directed to the specific tumor subtype. We hypothesized that dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) derived quantitative kinetic parameters (CD-QKPs) may help predict molecular tumor profiles non-invasively. Purpose To determine the association between DCE-MRI (CD-QKPs) and breast cancer clinicopathological prognostic factors. Material and Methods Clinicopathological factors in consecutive women with biopsy-confirmed invasive breast cancer who underwent breast DCE-MRI were retrospectively reviewed. Analysis of variance was used to examine associations between prognostic factors and CD-QKPs. Fisher's exact test was used to investigate the relationship between kinetic curve type and prognostic factors. Results A total of 198 women with invasive breast cancer were included. High-grade and HER2+ tumors were more likely to have a washout type curve while luminal A tumors were less likely. High-grade was significantly associated with increased peak enhancement (PE; P = 0.01), enhancement maximum slope (MS; P = 0.03), and mean enhancement ( ME, P = 0.03), while high clinical lymph node stage (cN3) was significantly associated with increased MS and time to peak (tP; P = 0.01). HER2+ tumors were associated with a higher PE ( P = 0.03) and ME ( P = 0.06) than HER2- counterparts, and ER-/HER2+ tumors showed higher PE and ME values than ER+/HER2- tumors ( P = 0.06). Conclusion DCE-MRI time-intensity CD-QKPs are associated with high tumor grade, advanced nodal stage, and HER2+ status, indicating their utility as imaging biomarkers.

Abstract
Background Imaging features derived from MRI scans can be used for not only breast cancer detection and measuring disease extent, but can also determine gene expression and patient outcomes. The relationships between imaging features, gene/protein expression, and response to therapy hold potential to guide personalized medicine. We aim to characterize the relationship between radiologist-annotated tumor phenotypic features (based on MRI) and the underlying biological processes (based on proteomic profiling) in the tumor. Methods Multiple-response regression of the image-derived, radiologist-scored features with reverse-phase protein array expression levels generated association coefficients for each combination of image-feature and protein in the RPPA dataset. Significantly-associated proteins for features were analyzed with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software. Hierarchical clustering of the results of the pathway analysis determined which features were most strongly correlated with pathway activity and cellular functions. Results Each of the twenty-nine imaging features was found to have a set of significantly correlated molecules, associated biological functions, and pathways. Conclusions We interrogated the pathway alterations represented by the protein expression associated with each imaging feature. Our study demonstrates the relationships between biological processes (via proteomic measurements) and MRI features within breast tumors.

Abstract
e13049 Background: The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends yearly breast MRI (BMRI) in addition to mammography for women with high breast cancer risk. However, standard BMRI protocols have a long acquisition time and consequently long interpretation time, which can reduce patient compliance and drive MRI cost. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate an American College of Radiology (ACR)-compliant short BMRI (SBMRI) protocol vis-à-vis compared with standard of care BMRI (SOC-BMRI) obtained in the same high-risk patient. To the best of our knowledge, a prospective study comparing both techniques does not exist. Our primary endpoint is to compare positive predictive value and cancer detection rate. Secondary endpoint is measuring and comparing patient experience between two techniques. As the study and accrual is ongoing and primary endpoint will be evaluated at the completion of accrual in a blinded fashion, here we report characteristics of patients who participated so far. Methods: This is a prospective HIPAA compliant and IRB approved trial. High risk women undergoing SOC-BMRI based on ACS screening guidelines signed an informed consent form to undergo an additional SBMRI within 7 days of the SOC-BMRI. Accrual target goal is 200 patients to give statistical power to estimate sensitivity and 95% confidence interval, with 10% or less expected to have breast cancer. Results: A total of 59 women were enrolled so far. Median age is 53 (range 26-72). Nine (15.3%) had BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic mutations; 6 (10.2%) variant of uncertain significance (VUS). One (1.7%) had CDH1 pathogenic mutation, one (1.7%) had VUS in PALB2. Personal history of breast cancer was present in 2 (3.4%), atypical hyperplasia in 9 (15.3%), LCIS in 3 (5.1%), family history (FH) of breast cancer in 55 (93.2%). Hormone replacement therapy use was current in 2 (3.4%), past in 10 (16.9%). Use of raloxifene, tamoxifen, or aromatase inhibitors was current in 8 (13.6%), past in 5 (8.5%). Conclusions: In this BMRI study comparing SOC-BMRI versus SBMRI, the distribution of breast cancer risk factors reflects our routine cohort, with most patients screened based on FH of breast cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the measurement of anterior segment parameters using Sirius Scheimpflug-Placido topographer, Lenstar optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR), and noncontact specular microscopy (SM) in morbidly obese and nonobese subjects. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-eight morbidly obese subjects (BMI ≥ 40; Group 1) and 28 age- sex-matched healthy nonobese subjects (BMI 18.50-24.99; Group 2) were included in this study. Anterior segment parameters were measured by Scheimpflug-Placido topographer and OLCR. Corneal endothelial cell parameters were measured by non-contact SM. The group data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Student's t-test. Bland-Altman plots were used to assess agreement among the instruments, and 95% limits of agreement (LoA) for each comparison were calculated. RESULTS In group 1, the mean CCT by Scheimpflug-Placido topographer, OLCR, and noncontact SM were 549.44±30.10 µm, 544.15±31.48 µm, and 541.59±29.87 µm respectively. In group 2, the mean CCT by Scheimpflug-Placido topographer, OLCR, and noncontact SM were 531.0±22.09 µm, 523.15±21.39 µm, and 521.12±21.70 µm respectively. Mean CCT values obtained by the three methods were significantly higher in the morbidly obese than the nonobese subjects. In both groups, mean CCT was significantly higher when measured by Scheimpflug-Placido topographer than by OLCR and noncontact SM, and mean AD and ACD were significantly higher when measured by Scheimpflug-Placido topographer than OLCR. No significant differences were found between mean corneal curvature and corneal astigmatism when measured by Scheimpflug-Placido topographer and OLCR. CONCLUSIONS The mean CCT of the morbidly obese subjects were significantly higher than the nonobese subjects when measured by all three methods. The CCT values obtained by Scheimpflug-Placido topographer were significantly higher than those by OLCR and SM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of morbid obesity on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, central macular thickness (CMT), retinal ganglion cell (RGC), choroidal thickness (CT), central corneal thickness (CCT), and intraocular pressure (IOP). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-seven patients defined as having morbid or class III obesity (BMI ≥ 40; Group 1) scheduled to undergo sleeve gastrectomy surgery and 29 nonobese patients (BMI 18.50-24.99; Group 2) underwent complete ophthalmic examination for measurement of IOP, CT, RNFL thickness, CMT, RGC, and CCT. RNFL thickness, CMT, and RGC were measured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). CT measurement was performed using the enhanced depth imaging technique of the SD-OCT. The group data were analyzed and compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and Student's t-test. The relationship between the clinical ocular variables and obesity was analyzed using the Spearman's rank correlation test. RESULTS The mean IOP and CCT of Group 1 were found to be significantly higher (p < 0.001) and the mean RNFL, RGC, and CT significantly lower (p < 0.05) than those of Group 2. While Group 2 was found to have a slightly larger cup-to-disc ratio and Group 1 to have a thinner CMT, the differences between Groups 1 and 2 regarding these variables were not found to be statistically significant (p = 0.322 and p = 0.072, respectively). The results of Spearmen correlation analysis indicated the existence of a moderately positive correlation between IOP and BMI (p < 0.001; r = 0.5-0.6). CONCLUSIONS We have demonstrated by SD-OCT that morbid obesity may have a significant influence on RNFL, RGC, and CT. Morbid obesity may induce inflammatory, hormonal, and metabolic changes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: An integrative system capable of detecting proteomic, genomic and DNA content from cell isolates obtained by fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy may offer distinct advantages in diagnosing breast cancer and monitoring response to therapy. Cellular Multiplex™ is such a system. An initial pilot study evaluating this technology established a series of variables that could separate normal from cancerous elements using cells obtained from an FNA performed on excised tumors and reduction mammoplasty specimens. In order for the technology to be clinically relevant, it must perform robustly on intact tumors. The current study was therefore undertaken to validate Cellular Multiplex™ on cells obtained by FNA performed on intact tumor at the time of diagnosis.
Methods: Patients undergoing lumpectomy requiring either needle or 125I seed localization were identified. FNA was performed on intact tumor (A samples) at the time of radiographic localization prior to lumpectomy and repeated on the excised tumor (B samples). Cells obtained by FNA were placed in a proprietary fixative then hybridized and stained to detect multiple mRNA and protein targets along with DNA content. Estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and HER2 were included in the panel of targets and compared to the routine clinical pathology report. Cell morphology was assessed by mean corpuscular volume. Samples were analyzed using an EC800 (Sony Biotechnology, San Jose, CA) and the results from matched A and B samples were compared using the Mann-Whitney Wilcoxson Rank Sum test. The study is designed to enroll 50 patients. Here we report an analysis of the first 9 cases.
Results: The cell number obtained from the excised tumors were 3-4 times greater (median to median) than obtained from the intact tumor. There was no statistical difference in the expression of the 2 mRNA targets, 8 protein targets, DNA content and cell morphology between the A and B samples. The parameters derived from Cellular Multiplex matched the standard pathologic features reported on the clinical pathology report in 8 of 9 cases. In the one discrepant case, Cellular Multiplexing detected ER positive cells in a case where standard pathologic evaluation with immunohistochemistry reported the tumor to be estrogen receptor negative.
Conclusions: This interim analysis demonstrates that the Cellular Multiplex technology is working well using cells obtained by FNA performed on intact tumors with readouts matching those obtained from excised specimens. If confirmed in the remaining patients, these data suggest that this technology will be applicable for the evaluation of intact tumors thereby making it relevant for multiple clinical indications including diagnosis and monitoring response to neoadjuvant therapy.

Abstract
A 34-year-old male patient who had undergone total colectomy and J-pouch ileanal anastomosis subsequent to diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis five years previously was admitted to the emergency room with complaints of severe abdominal pain of a four-day duration. Physical examination revealed widespread tenderness throughout the abdomen, especially in the lower quadrant. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed fluid between intestinal loops and computed tomography revealed free air and fluid in the abdomen. During laparotomy to expand the ileal J-pouch to approximately 12 cm in diameter, a 2-mm perforation was detected in the blind end of the ileal J-pouch. The perforation was repaired primarily and protective ileostomy was performed. During postoperative endoscopy, neither obstruction nor stasis was observed, but pouchitis was observed in the ileal J-pouch. The patient was postoperatively discharged on the 20th day and followed endoscopically. The endoscopic findings were normal in the sixth month postsurgery.

Abstract
99 Background: Staging of breast cancer patients is enhanced by axillary ultrasound (US) and needle biopsy of abnormal lymph nodes (LN). When clips are placed in sampled metastatic LNs, they can be evaluated for nodal response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT). The goals of this study were to determine if pathologic changes in clipped LNs reflect nodal response to NCT and if targeted axillary dissection (TAD), which includes sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) in addition to selective localization and removal of clipped LNs, could increase the accuracy of nodal assessment. Methods: This prospective study included patients with US-identified axillary metastases confirmed by needle biopsy with a clip placed in the sampled LN. After NCT, patients underwent axillary lymphadenectomy (ALND) with x-ray of the axillary contents to identify the clip-containing LN. In 38 patients, the clipped LN was selectively removed using wire (n=2) or I125seed localization (n=36) before ALND was performed. Five patients did not undergo ALND. The pathologic findings of the clipped LN were reported separately from the other nodes. Results: Ninety node positive patients were enrolled. Forty (44%) had a complete nodal response to NCT and 50 (56%) had residual disease. Pathologic evaluation of the clipped LN revealed metastases in 47/50 patients with residual disease, resulting in a false negative rate (FNR) of 6% (95% CI 1.3-16.6). In 52 patients who underwent SLND, the clipped LN was not a SLN in 23% (n=12). Thirty-one of these patients had residual disease; metastases were not seen in SLNs in 5 cases resulting in a FNR for SLND alone of 16% (95% CI 5.4-34). Evaluation of the clipped LN in addition to SLND improved the FNR to 3% (1/31, 95% CI 0.1-17). Thirty-one patients underwent TAD while an additional 7 had localization and selective removal of the clipped LN without SLND with one false negative result. Conclusions: US-guided marking of LNs with documented metastatic disease allows for their selective removal and improved pathologic evaluation for residual nodal disease. The FNR of SLND can be reduced by ensuring removal and evaluation of the clipped LN. TAD is technically feasible and allows for improved assessment of nodal response after NCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND French Bulldogs develop a form of granulomatous colitis (GC) with histopathological resemblance to GC of Boxer dogs (GCB). GCB is associated with mucosally invasive Escherichia coli whose eradication correlates with clinical remission. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To characterize the clinical and histopathological features, presence or absence of invasive colonic bacteria, and response to fluoroquinolones in French Bulldogs with GC. ANIMALS A total of 6 French Bulldogs with a histological diagnosis of GC. METHODS Retrospective study of medical records. Bacterial colonization was evaluated using 16S rRNA probes for eubacteria and E. coli. Biopsy specimens from 3 dogs were cultured for bacteria. Clinical response to fluoroquinolone antimicrobials was determined. RESULTS All dogs were ≤1 year of age with hematochezia that was refractory to empirical therapy. Clinicopathologic and fecal analysis did not reveal abnormalities. Abdominal ultrasound revealed patchy thickening of the colon in 4/5 dogs and regional lymphadenopathy in 5/5. Colonoscopic abnormalities included irregularly thickened and ulcerated mucosa, hyperemia, and overt bleeding in 4/6 cases. Multifocal accumulations of PAS-positive macrophages and intramucosal E. coli were present in colonic biopsies of all 6 dogs. Administration of enrofloxacin (5/6) or marbofloxacin (1/6) at 4.4-10 mg/kg (median 10 mg/kg) PO q24h for 6-10 weeks was associated with clinical improvement within 5-14 days. All dogs remained in remission over a 3-30 month follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Granulomatous colitis in young French Bulldogs is associated with the presence of invasive E. coli and closely parallels GCB. Treatment with fluoroquinolone antimicrobials can induce lasting clinical remission.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the differences in self-reported oral health attitudes and behaviour between preclinical and clinical dental students in Turkey using Hiroshima University Dental Behavioural Inventory (HU-DBI). METHODS A Turkish version HU-DBI questionnaire with additional 7 questions, totally 27 items, was distributed among 1022 dental students. RESULTS The response rate was 75% (486 preclinical and 278 clinical students). Significantly higher (P=0.000) percentage of the preclinical students, compared to clinical students, worry about colour of their teeth, are bothered by the colour of their gums, put off going to the dentist until they have a toothache; think that their teeth are getting worse despite their daily brushing, it is impossible to prevent gum disease with tooth brushing alone, and they cannot help having false teeth when they are old. Moreover, the preclinical students more frequently agree on that their gums tend to bleed when they brush their teeth, they use a toothbrush which has hard bristles, and they don't feel they've brushed well unless with strong strokes (P=0.000). However, a higher proportion of clinical students compared to preclinical students brush each of their teeth carefully, think that they can clean their teeth without using toothpaste, have had their dentist tell them that they brush very well (P=0.000). The HU-DBI score of clinical students (7.47±1.86) was significantly (P=0.000) higher than preclinical students (6.00±1.86). CONCLUSIONS Dental students should have a comprehensive program, including their self-care regimes, starting from their first year of education.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The majority of patients with cancer use some form of complementary or alternative medicine. External qigong treatment (EQT), classified as a bioenergy therapy, is one such approach that patients combine with conventional medicine or, in some cases, use in place of conventional medicine. This study aimed to determine whether EQT could shrink breast cancer tumors and improve quality of life (QOL) in women with pathologically confirmed breast cancer awaiting surgery. A total of 9 women with pathologically confirmed breast cancer were recruited from large cancer centers in the United States (n = 5) and China (n = 4). A single-arm pre/post design was used. Each patient underwent 5 consecutive days of EQT, with each treatment lasting from 2 to 5 minutes. All treatments were performed by the same qigong master. Tumor measurements were made before and after the EQT sessions. Tumor assessments were conducted prior to study initiation and following the last EQT. Patients underwent both an ultrasound and mammogram (United States) or an ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (China). All patients also underwent physical breast examinations (PBEs) and completed QOL questionnaires before and after the last EQT. No clinical changes in tumor measurements from pre- to post-EQT were noted. There was also no suggestion of change in tumor size by PBE or change in QOL. Using the current STUDY DESIGN EQT also does not appear to have any effect on patient QOL. Because of the small sample size and working with only one qigong practitioner, to definitively determine the efficacy or lack of efficacy of EQT, a larger study with multiple qigong practitioners would need to be conducted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Escherichia coli have recently been identified within the colonic mucosa of Boxer dogs with granulomatous colitis (GC). Eradication of invasive E. coli is associated with clinical and histological remission. OBJECTIVES To determine antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of E. coli strains from GC and healthy dogs, and the association of antimicrobial resistance with clinical outcome. ANIMALS Fourteen Boxer dogs with GC and 17 healthy pet dogs. METHODS Prospective study: E. coli was cultured from GC biopsies and rectal mucosal swabs of healthy dogs. Individual strains were selected by phylogroup and overall genotype, determined by triplex- and random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by broth microdilution minimal inhibitory concentration. RESULTS Culture yielded 23 E. coli strains from GC (1-3/dog, median 2) and 34 strains from healthy (1-3/dog, median 2). E. coli phylogroups were similar (P=.18) in GC (5A, 7B1, 5B2, 6D) and healthy (2A, 10B1, 15B2, 7D). Resistance to ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefoxitin, tetracycline, trimethoprim-sulfa (TMS), ciprofloxacin, and chloramphenicol was greater (P<.05) in GC (21-64%) than healthy (0-24%). Enrofloxacin resistant E. coli were isolated from 6/14 GC versus 0/17 healthy (P=.004). Of the enrofloxacin resistant cases, 4/6 were also resistant to macrophage-penetrating antimicrobials such as chloramphenicol, rifampicin, and TMS. Enrofloxacin treatment before definitive diagnosis was associated with antimicrobial resistance (P<.01) and poor clinical outcome (P<.01). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Antimicrobial resistance is common among GC-associated E. coli and impacts clinical response. Antimicrobial therapy should be guided by mucosal culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing rather than empirical wisdom.

Abstract
Background The diagnostic tools to predict the prognosis in patients suffering from breast cancer (BC) need further improvements. New technological achievements like the gene profiling of circulating tumour cells (CTC) could help identify new prognostic markers in the clinical setting. Furthermore, gene expression patterns of CTC might provide important informations on the mechanisms of tumour cell metastasation. Materials and methods We performed realtime-PCR and multiplex-PCR analyses following immunomagnetic separation of CTC. Peripheral blood (PB) samples of 63 patients with breast cancer of various stages were analyzed and compared to a control group of 14 healthy individuals. After reverse-transcription, we performed multiplex PCR using primers for the genes ga733.3, muc-1 and c-erbB2. Mammaglobin1, spdef and c-erbB2 were analyzed applying realtime-PCR. Results ga733.2 overexpression was found in 12.7% of breast cancer cases, muc-1 in 15.9%, mgb1 in 9.1% and spdef in 12.1%. In this study, c-erbB2 did not show any significant correlation to BC, possibly due to a highly ambient expression. Besides single gene analyses, gene profiles were additionally evaluated. Highly significant correlations to BC were found in single gene analyses of ga733.2 and muc-1 and in gene profile analyses of ga733.3*muc-1 and GA7 ga733.3*muc-1*mgb1*spdef. Conclusion Our study reveals that the single genes ga733.3, muc-1 and the gene profiles ga733.3*muc-1 and ga733.3*3muc-1*mgb1*spdef can serve as markers for the detection of CTC in BC. The multigene analyses found highly positive levels in BC patients. Our study indicates that not single gene analyses but subtle patterns of multiple genes lead to rising accuracy and low loss of specificity in detection of breast cancer cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Historically, histiocytic ulcerative (HUC) (or granulomatous) colitis of Boxer dogs was considered an idiopathic immune-mediated disease with a poor prognosis. Recent reports of dramatic responses to enrofloxacin and the discovery of invasive Escherichia coli within the colonic mucosa of affected Boxer dogs support an infectious etiology. HYPOTHESIS Invasive E. coli is associated with colonic inflammation in Boxer dogs with HUC, and eradication of intramucosal E. coli correlates with clinical and histologic remission. ANIMALS Seven Boxer dogs with HUC. METHODS Prospective case series. Colonic biopsies were obtained at initial evaluation in 7 dogs, and in 5 dogs after treatment with enrofloxacin. Biopsies were evaluated by standardized histopathology, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes to eubacteria and E. coli. RESULTS Intramucosal E. coli was present in colonic biopsies of 7/7 Boxers with HUC. Clinical response was noted in all dogs within 2 weeks of enrofloxacin (7 + or - 3.06 mg/kg q24 h, for 9.5 + or - 3.98 weeks) and was sustained in 6 dogs (median disease-free interval to date of 47 months, range 17-62). FISH was negative for E. coli in 4/5 dogs after enrofloxacin. E. coli resistant to enrofloxacin were present in the FISH-positive dog that relapsed. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The correlation between clinical remission and the eradication of mucosally invasive E. coli during treatment with enrofloxacin supports the causal involvement of E. coli in the development of HUC in susceptible Boxer dogs. A poor response to enrofloxacin treatment might be due to colonization with enrofloxacin-resistant E. coli.
