Abstract
Superconducting microwave resonators are reliable circuits widely used for detection and as test devices for material research. A reliable determination of their external and internal quality factors is crucial for many modern applications, which either require fast measurements or operate in the single photon regime with small signal to noise ratios. Here, we use the circle fit technique with diameter correction and provide a step by step guide for implementing an algorithm for robust fitting and calibration of complex resonator scattering data in the presence of noise. The speedup and robustness of the analysis are achieved by employing an algebraic rather than an iterative fit technique for the resonance circle.

Abstract
Non-healing wounds are a significant problem for health-care systems worldwide. In the industrialised world, almost 1-1.5% of the population will have a problem wound at any one time. Furthermore, wound management is expensive; in Europe, the average cost per episode is 6650 euros for leg ulcers and 10 000 euros for foot ulcers, and wound management accounts for 2-4% of health-care budgets. These figures are expected to rise along with an increased elderly and diabetic population.1-4.

Abstract
Interfacing photonic and solid-state qubits within a hybrid quantum architecture offers a promising route towards large scale distributed quantum computing. Ideal candidates for coherent qubit interconversion are optically active spins, magnetically coupled to a superconducting resonator. We report on an on-chip cavity QED experiment with magnetically anisotropic Er(3+)∶Y2SiO5 crystals and demonstrate collective strong coupling of rare-earth spins to a lumped element resonator. Moreover, the electron spin resonance and relaxation dynamics of the erbium spins are detected via direct microwave absorption, without the aid of a cavity.

Abstract
4545 Background: The combination of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil (DCF) is clearly superior to CF in the treatment of patients (pts) with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). DCF is, however, associated with significant toxicity, including neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea and mucositis. This study evaluated a biweekly, oxaliplatin-based modification of DCF. Methods: Pts with measurable, locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or GE-junction and no prior chemotherapy received mFOLFOX (oxaliplatin 85 mg/sqm, leucovorin 200 mg/sqm, and fluorouracil 2.6 g/sqm via 24hr infusion) in combination with docetaxel 50 mg/sqm on day 1 every 2 weeks (FLOT-regimen). Prophylactic G-CSF was not administered. Overall response rate (RR) was the primary endpoint (power 80% to detect a RR of >40%) and toxicity profile the main secondary endpoint. The study was externally monitored according to GCP and data were reviewed by an independent safety board. Results: 59 pts (male, 41; female, 18) were enrolled. At the time of analysis, 53 pts were evaluable for toxicity and 51 pts for response. Median age was 60 (range, 29–76), median ECOG PS was 1, and almost all (93%) pts had metastatic disease. Of 51 pts, 2 had a CR and 25 pts attained a PR, adding to an overall RR of 53% (ITT-analysis). Stable disease was observed in 12 (23.5%) and progressive disease in 6 (11.8%) pts. Six (11.8%) pts were not evaluable for response. NCI-CTC grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity included leukopenia in 12 (22.6%), neutropenia in 23 (43%), and anemia in 2 (3.8%) pts. Febrile neutropenia was observed in 1 (1.9%) pt only. Other grade 3 or 4 toxicities included peripheral neuropathy in 4 (7.5%), nausea in 3 (5.7%), vomiting in 2 (3.8%) as well as diarrhea and fatigue in 5 (9.4%) pts each. No treatment related deaths were observed. Conclusions: FLOT is active and has a favorable toxicity profile in the treatment of pts with AGC. It may show activity also in perioperative treatment settings and may be considered as a useful treatment option for elderly pts. Survival data will be presented at the meeting. [Table: see text]

Abstract
LBA4016 Background: Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is a standard option in advanced gastric cancer. However, treatment results have been unsatisfactory so far, with a time to progression (TTP) of 3 to 4 months and an overall survival (OS) of 6 to 9 months. In addition, treatment regimens are too intense and toxicity is considerable. The aim of this 2-arm randomized trial was to determine whether FLO prolongs TTP and reduces toxicity as compared to FLP. Methods: Patients (pts) were randomized to receive FLO: F 2600 mg/m2 24 h infusion, L 200 mg/m2, and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, every two weeks or FLP: F 2000 mg/m2 24 h infusion, L 200 mg/m2, weekly, and cisplatin 50 mg/m2, every two weeks. The primary end point was TTP. Main secondary endpoints included toxicity, time to treatment failure (TTF), and OS. Based on a planned sample size of 218 pts, the trial was designed to have an 80% power to detect an improvement in median TTP from 3.5 to 5.0 months (1-sided log-rank test; significance level 0.05). Results: 220 pts (FLO/FLP, 112/108) were randomized between Aug 2003 and Jan 2006. Median age was 64 yrs and median ECOG was 1. 162 pts (FLO, 80; FLP, 81) had disease progression and 25 pts (FLO, 18; FLP, 8) are still under treatment. Median TTP was 5.7 months for FLO and 3.8 months for FLP (log-rank p = 0.081, Wilcoxon p = 0.019). Median TTF was 5.3 months for FLO and 3.1 months for FLP (log-rank p = 0.028). Response to FLO (34%) was superior to FLP (27%), with 15% and 30% of pts having disease progression as best response to FLO and FLP, respectively (chi-square for trend p = 0.012). Median treatment duration was 4.3 months with FLO and 3 months with FLP. FLO was associated with significantly less NCI-CTC grade 1–4 leukopenia, nausea, alopecia, fatigue, and renal toxicity and FLP was associated with significantly less peripheral neuropathy (chi-square for trend p < 0.05). Severe adverse events related to treatment were less frequent with FLO (8.9%) as compared to FLP (18.6%; p = 0.046). Conclusions: FLO reduced toxicity and improved efficacy as compared to FLP. This leads us to consider FLO for future studies in combination with targeted drugs to further improve the outcome of pts with gastric cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Differences in word processing between adult developmental dyslexic (n = 12) and normal readers (n = 12) were studied using event-related brain potentials recorded while subjects performed a recognition memory task. During the first part of the experiment, words were presented consecutively, and within this phase one third of the words were repeated. Subjects had to indicate whether a given word had previously been seen or not. After a delay of 1 hr, a second phase was administered. Here, another list containing 33% old words (presented in Phase 1) and 66% new words was shown and an old/new decision was required. In both categories, half of the words presented in either phase were of high normative frequency, and the other half were of low-frequency in the German language. Recognition performance was superior in normal readers for both high- and low-frequency words. In Phase 1, a fronto-centrally distributed N400 repetition effect discriminated between correctly identified old and new words (new words more negative). This effect was present for dyslexic as well as normal readers and for high- and low-frequency words. Between 450 and 800 ms, a 'P600 old/new effect' emerged (ERPs evoked by old words were more positive than those for new words). This effect was larger for low-frequency words. In Phase 2, an old/new effect was obtained for normal readers only. These findings are discussed in relation to current concepts of dyslexia and of semantic processing.

Abstract
We report on a patient who suffered a large subcapsular and perirenal haematoma after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy. Despite surgical intervention the bleeding did not stop for 6 days and 10 units of packed red blood cells were transfused. With the treatment of recombinant, activated factor VIII (NovoSeven((R))) an immediate haemostasis could be reached, so that impending nephrectomy could be avoided. This is the first case where FVIIa has been successfully used to stop a trauma-related bleeding in a patient without any obvious accompanying coagulation disorder.

Abstract
Despite almost forty years of widespread use, the mode of action of antidepressant drugs is still largely unknown. There is agreement that these drugs interact with central neurotransmission. Common findings are acute inhibitory actions on reuptake mechanisms for norepinephrine (NE) and for serotonin (5-HT) at presynaptic axons and chronic adaptive effects on neurotransmitter receptors on postsynaptic membranes. In particular, beta-adrenoceptor downregulation has been observed after chronic treatment with most antidepressants in vivo and in cell culture systems. We studied the effectiveness of Ze 117 (St. John's wort) extract (Hypericum perforatum) on NE- and 5-HT-uptake into rat brain slices. Potency and efficacy of the Ze 117 extract were compared with those of tricyclic (TCA) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)-type antidepressants. A dose-dependent inhibition was seen on NE and 5-HT uptake into brain slices. The Ze 117 extract was more selective for the uptake of NE than for that of 5-HT. The maximal extent of uptake inhibition by Ze 117 extract was comparable to that of imipramine (IMI), desipramine (DMI) or fluvoxamine for 5-HT, but lower for NE transport, than that of the synthetic antidepressants. Chronic exposure (8 days) of confluent C6-cell cultures to Ze 117 extract resulted in a dose-dependent beta-adrenoceptor downregulation equal to that induced by DMI, a potent TCA. None of these effects could be achieved with either hypericin or hyperforin alone in a relevant dose range. Our results indicate that the St. John's wort extract Ze 117 contains active, but as yet unknown antidepressant principles with effects comparable to those of TCAs.

Abstract
This study tests whether lead deposited to soil from automobiles during past years in a medium-sized US city (population 150,000) may present a current health risk. It examines the relationship between current soil lead concentrations at nine locations within the city of Springfield, Missouri, and airborne lead levels measured at the same locations during years (1975-1981) when lead emissions from automobiles were much greater than at present. A strong, significant correlation is found between soil and airborne lead levels at eight of the sites (r = 0.91, P < 0.005 for soil lead vs. 1979 airborne lead), in low-traffic areas as well as in areas adjacent to heavy traffic flow. Residual lead concentrations in these soils are relatively low, even for the high-traffic sites, as expected for a medium sized city.

Abstract
In asymptomatic infertility patients, no significant relationship was found between the presence of antisperm antibodies (ASA) in serum and in semen samples (IgG and/or IgA ASA), differentiated with the mixed antiglobulin reaction (MAR), and the microbial colonization of ejaculates covering a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Likewise, there was no significant association of ASA with microbial findings in patients' female partners, who also presented without symptoms of genital tract infection and were screened at the same time. Furthermore, ASA in semen (IgG and IgA) were not significantly related to several potential markers of subclinical male sexual gland infection or inflammation (leukocytes, PMN elastase, albumin, C3c) evaluated in aliquots of the same ejaculates used for immunological testing.
