Abstract
5028 Background: HDCT using the etoposide-carboplatin ± ifosfamide regimen is able to circumvent resistance in GCT pts, even when used as third-line or later therapy (Lotz, Ann Onco.l 2005 / Einhorn, N Eng J Med. 2007). Pts whose relapses occur more than 4 w after CDDP-based CT are probably the best candidates for HDCT. Epirubicine (E) and paclitaxel (P) possess interesting activity in GCTs. Thiotepa (TTP) and P can be safely combined at HD with good efficacy. The ICE regimen is a well-known worldwide used regimen. Methods: Non-resistant/refractory GCTs pts failing CT and with adverse prognostic factors were planned to receive 2 cycles combining (mg/m2) E (100) and P (250), given on day 1 and 14 supported by filgrastim (F), followed by 3 consecutive HDCTs [1 course combining a 3-d combination of P (360) + TTP (720), followed by 2 ICE regimens (IFM, 12 g/m2, CBDCA, AUC 20, VP16, 1,500 mg/m2), given on 5 days with HSCT and F]. Inclusion criterias were mainly: radiologically and/or biologically mesurable disease, seminomatous GCT in relapse after 2 lines of CT (BEP/VeIP), non-seminomatous GCT in relapse after 1 or 2 lines of CT or in PR after 1 line of CT, primary mediastinal GCT in first relapse. Resistant / refractory pts were excluded. PBSC were collected after the first ± the second courses of EP (aim: 9x10E6 CD34+/kg BW). We report herein on the preliminary results of this multicentric study. Results: From 09/04 to 12/07, 45 pre-treated (BEP ± VeIP) pts with gonadal (89%) or extra-gonadal T (11%) were treated in second-line (27%), 3rd-line (44 %) or more (29 %). Thirty-five pts received 1 HDCT, 29 two HDCTs and 21 pts could receive the whole protocol. At the time of analysis (12/08), the final overall response rate was 47%, 10 pts were in continuous CR (median time, 8 m; range, 1–18), and 37 pts (82%) were alive at a median F/U of 9 m (range, 1–26). The 1-y survival rate was 90%. The 1-y PFS rate was 62%. One pt died of multi-organ failure and 7 died of disease progression. Conclusions: This HDCT program preceded by 2 semi-intensive cycles of E-P is highly effective in non-resistant/refractory pts with disseminated GCTS failing CT and with adverse prognostic factors.

Abstract
7098 Background: RIC-based ASCT can be used after intensive chemotherapy in pts with CR1AML(Blaise, Cancer, 2005). Initial disease control was high and was not related to selection bias (Mohty, Leukemia, 2005).Here, we investigated if this control was maintained after a long follow-up. Methods: 37 pts (age: 51 (26–60)) with high risk clinical characteristics (70%) (Age = 50 (N=22, 59%); severe comorbidity (30%)) and/or poor risk leukemic features (65%) (Cytogenetics (35%); 2 induction courses (27%); secondary leukemia (11%), High white blood cell counts(14%) or partial remission (3%)) were treated. After CR1, pts received at least either 1 course of high dose cytarabine (24 g/m2) and anthracycline (HIDAC: N=21) or HIDAC + 1 course of. melphalan (140 mg/m2) (HDMEL) with auto-SCT Pts (HIDAC +HDM N=16). All pts were then scheduled to receive ASCT prepared with RIC (fludarabine (180 mg/m2), busulfan (8 mg/kg), Thymoglobulin (2.5 to 10 mg/kg)) followed with BMT (28%) or PBSC (72%). Results: With a Median follow-up of 3 years (16–70 mths). 15 pts experienced aGVHD (grade 2–4 aGVHD cumulative incidence (CI):22% (9–35). 10 and 14 pts presented a limited and extensive cGVHD respectively (CI cGVHD:65 % (50–80). 3 deaths were attributed to non-relapse causes (NRD) (AGVHD: 1; CGVHD: 2° (NRD CI: 8% (0–17). In all, 9 pts relapsed at 5 mths (2–19) (24% (9–35). Relapse was associated with the absence of cGVHD (cGVHD: 8 (0–19), no cGVHD 44% (12–76), p=.05). 25 pts are still alive in CR1 for overall survival and leukemia-free survival (LFS) probability estimates at 4 years of 65 % (48–79%) and 66% (49–80%) respectively. When restricting the analysis to the 33 pts evaluable for cGVHD, cGVHD remained the only independent risk factor positively influencing LFS (cGVHD: 81% (59–92); no cGVHD (56% (27–81), p=.05) Conclusions: We conclude that RIC Allo-SCT preceded by adequate prior intensive chemotherapy might offers a relatively low NRD while exerting a sustained leukemia control even in high risk pts deserving prospective evaluation against standard strategy of conventional Allo SCT.

Abstract
12518 Background: Despite improvements obtained with frontline treatments prognosis of recurrent HGG still remains dismal. HD chemotherapy (CT) suggested a dose-effect relationship in lymphoma and germ cell tumors. HD of TMZ could be a promising way to overcome resistance of HGG to standard schedule of CT Methods: This phase I had as principal objective to determine the Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD) of HD of TMZ with PBSCS rescue in patients with recurrent HGG under 60 year. The MTD was defined as dose level which 50% of patients (pts) treated experienced a DLT (Dose Limiting Toxicity).The dose escalation was planned for eight dose levels from 300 to 650mg/m2/day over 5 days with CSP reinfusion at D7 according to the Modified Continual Reassessment Method (MCRM). Treatment was administered for one cycle. Results: Eighteen eligible pts were treated with HD of TMZ, all had received prior radiotherapy, 11 pts previous CT. Overall HD TMZ was well tolerated for the 7 evaluated dose levels. The MTD was not yet reached. Not dose limiting toxicities were reported in 12 pts: grade 2: fatigue (6pts), cephalalgia (3pts), nausea (3pts) , skin eruption (2pts), mucositis, FUO, vomiting, diarrhea, zoster, dental abcess, lung infection, septicemia, hepatic. grade 3 bilirubinemia, grade 4 neutropenia (13pts) and thrombocytopenia (4pts). Dose Limiting Toxicities were reported in 2 pts, gr3 cytolysis at level 3 (400mg/m2/day ) 1pt and gr 3 arthritis at level 7 (600mg/m2) 1pt respectively . Main hematological toxicities were gr 4 neutropenia in 13 pts median duration was 8 days, 4 pts had gr4 thrombocytopenia lasting 5 days. All patients were evaluable for tumor response, 2 partial responses were observed at 550 and 600mg/m2 level, 5 pts had a stabilization and a disease progression was reported in 11 patients. Conclusions: This interim analysis demonstrated that HD of TMZ with CSP reinfusion is feasible and well tolerated in patients with recurrent HGG. Nevertheless limited activity reported could be related to a less depletion of O6 alkylguanine transferase with HD than with a protracted schedule. Accrual is still ongoing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE The complexity of cardiac surgery requires continuous training, education and information addressing different individuals: physicians (cardiac surgeons, residents, anaesthesiologists, cardiologists), medical students, perfusionists and patients. Efficacy and efficiency of education and training will likely be improved by the use of multimedia information systems. Nevertheless, computer-based education is facing some serious disadvantages: 1) multimedia productions require tremendous financial and time resources; 2) the obtained multimedia data are only usable for one specific target user group in one specific instructional context; 3) computer based learning programs often show deficiencies in the support of individual learning styles and in providing individual information adjusted to the learner's individual needs. In this paper we describe a computer-system, providing multiple re-use of multimedia-data in different instructional sceneries and providing flexible composition of content to different target user groups. TOOLS AND METHODS The ZYX document model has been developed, allowing the modelling and flexible on-the-fly composition of multimedia fragments. It has been implemented as a DataBlade module into the object-relational database system Informix Dynamic Server and allows for presentation-neutral storage of multimedia content from the application domain, delivery and presentation of multimedia material, content based retrieval, re-use and composition of multimedia material for different instructional settings. Multimedia data stored in the repository, that can be processed and authored in terms of our identified needs is created by using a next generation authoring environment called CardioOP-Wizard. High-quality intra-operative video is recorded using a video-robot. Difficult surgical procedures are visualized with generic and CT-based 3D-animations. RESULTS An on-line architecture for multiple re-use and flexible composition of media data has been established. The system contains the following instructional applications (prototypically implemented): a multimedia textbook on operative techniques, an interactive module for problem based-training, a module for creation and presentation of lectures and a module for patient information. Principles of cognitive psychology and knowledge management have been employed in the program. These instructional applications provide information ranging from basic knowledge at the beginner's level, procedural knowledge for the advanced level to implicit knowledge for the professional level. For media-annotation with meta-data a metainformation system, the CardioOP-Clas has been developed. The prototype focuses on aortocoronary bypass grafting and heart transplantation. CONCLUSION The demonstrated system reflects an integrated approach in terms of information technology and teaching by means of multiple re-use and composition of stored media-items to the individual user and the chosen educational setting on different instructional levels.

Abstract
Patients homozygous for mutation of the ATM gene exhibit constitutional genetic instability and have a high risk of cancer. A-T heterozygotes also have an increased tendency to develop adenocarcinomas. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in western populations, and tumors of the right colon are typically highly genetically unstable. The DNA mismatch repair genes mutated in most familial and some sporadic CRCs account for one route by which cells acquire additional oncogenic mutations during the progression of malignancy. Mismatch repair defects, however, do not seem to account for the majority of CRCs. Because of its role in maintaining genomic stability, and the high risk of cancer to homozygotes, ATM is a candidate gene for inactivation in the evolution of chromosomal instability in tumor cells. We have examined 114 CRC patients for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) using six microsatellite markers tightly linked to the ATM locus. Our data suggest that LOH of this region is not associated with cancer of the proximal colon. In the distal colon, LOH was found in 23-31% of cases, which is moderately elevated above the non-specific LOH reported in tumors of this tissue. No correlations were found with regard to clinicopathological variables aside from tumor location.

Abstract
Hereditary, non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) is caused by mutations in different loci. One gene causing HNPCC was mapped to chromosome 2p and recently a tight linkage between a polymorphic marker on the chromosome 3p and the disease locus has been demonstrated and these families also manifest signs of a general DNA replicator disorder. We report detailed genetic studies of three French HNPCC families with D2S123 and D3S1029. In one of the families (F 230), the segregation pattern for markers on chromosomes 2 and 3 suggests absence of linkage. The two other families are not informative enough to conclude on linkage status with chromosomes 2 and 3. If confirmed, this result would mean that the inherited colon cancer in this family is linked to another HNPCC gene. Implication for genetic counselling is discussed. Even with cloned genes, linkage analysis with flanking microsatellite markers for informative families may help to avoid tedious work of seeking point mutations in HNPCC genes.

Abstract
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disease, accounting for approximately 6% of colorectal cancers. We performed linkage analyses with the aim of proving or excluding the existence of a susceptibility locus on 17q. Three HNPCC families (102 collected members, 25 colorectal cancers, 9 other cancers and 6 colorectal adenomas) were studied with 7 polymorphic DNA markers Mfd15, THRA 1, D17S800, D17S855, Mfd 188, 42D6, 46E6 localized in the 17q11-q23 region. After in vitro enzymatic amplification, the different alleles were separated by classic vertical poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis or analyzed with the automatic sequencing machine 373A (Applied Biosystems). Results showed that none of the 7 studied markers of the chromosome 17q were linked to the HNPCC disease.

Abstract
Management is responsible for developing policies and procedures not only for handling of narcotics but also for investigating and intervening in drug-related incidents. Both nurse managers and peers often feel ill-prepared to deal with drug impairment. Nurses who suspect a peer of substance abuse should notify the manager, who must cross-check all medication documentation and look for the many tell-tale signs of narcotic diversion. If sufficient evidence is discovered, the nurse must be confronted and directed to some type of peer assistance or other recovery program.

Abstract
A typical case of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in a 53-year-old man illustrates the high risk of spinal injury. When compared to the healthy subjects, patients with ankylosing spondylitis are at risk even after trivial injury. Spinal epidural hematoma is rare and generally associated with significant osseous spinal column involvement. Although rare, hematoma should be considered in ankylosing spondylitis patients, when a patient develops progressive neurologic symptoms and signs. An aggressive approach, including early decompression, affords the best chance for recovery.

Abstract
A series of 66 spinal cord neurofibromas was analyzed for history, signs, surgical approach, and outcome. The tumors presented primarily with sensory symptoms. Plain films were abnormal in 1/2 of cases and 1/2 had a complete block. They were primarily intradural, and primarily thoracic. A conservative exam system was used for follow-up and 85% with pain had complete relief; 50% with motor loss had normal motor function, and 88% had normal sensation who had prior sensory loss. In comparison to meningiomas, the principal differences were that neurofibromas had an even sex distribution, a lower incidence of cord signs and symptoms, more frequent findings on plain x-rays, and higher cerebrospinal fluid protein. Surgical outcome was similar. Sacrifice of the involved root during removal usually did not produce a deficit. The series is compared with a similar series of meningiomas from the same institution over the same time period.

Abstract
Twelve patients were admitted to a Phase II study on the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme with interferon-beta (IFN-beta). All patients had previously undergone craniotomy and received a standard course of radiation therapy. Recurrence was inferred from enlargement of the lesion on computerized tomography (CT) scanning and in each case was confirmed by CT-guided stereotaxic biopsy. Treatment consisted of combined intravenous (10 X 10(6) IU/day) and intratumoral (1 X 10(6) IU every other day) administration of IFN-beta over three 10-day cycles. This regimen was well tolerated, with toxicity requiring temporary dose modifications in five patients. As judged from data from historical cases, however, the patients admitted to this study demonstrated no clear improvement in mean survival time. The findings of this study also emphasize the importance of distinguishing between radiation necrosis and tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Eleven patients with malignant gliomas recurring after surgery and radiation therapy, were treated with high dose BCNU 1 050-1 200 mg/M2 with autologous bone marrow rescue. Four patients also received concomitant 5-fluorouracil 1 000 mg/M2/24 hr daily for three days. Eight of ten evaluable patients demonstrated improvement on CAT scan as well as a decrease in steroid requirement. All patients surviving longer than two weeks after BCNU administration experienced full hematologic recovery. No delayed myelosuppression was seen after a single course of high dose therapy. Two patients died as a result of therapy, one following a second induction of BCNU for a total cumulative BCNU dose of 2 400 mg/M2 and one of infection while cytopenic. Additional toxicity includes one steroid-responsive interstitial pneumonitis, one centrilobular necrosis of the liver which spontaneously resolved and one episode of deep vein thrombosis. With limitation on the maximum BCNU dose and distribution of the total dose over three days, high dose BCNU can be administered with acceptable toxicity. This approach may offer a higher response rate than that expected for standard dose BCNU.

Abstract
The authors present a retrospective analysis of 97 cases of spinal meningioma. Age, sex, tumor location, and clinical presentation are similar to that reported by others. Importantly, even among paraplegic patients, one-third eventually walked. Other findings of note were poor results among those with calcified or recurrent tumors, and a high incidence of invasiveness among the rare epidural lesions. Males do not show the preference for a thoracic location that is found among females, and cervical tumors are almost all anterior to the cord. This last point suggests a different surgical approach in some cases. A large percentage of cases carried other diagnoses before tumor was recognized.
