Abstract
4567 Background: Cisplatin-HDFL regimen, using weekly 24-hour infusions of cisplatin and high-dose 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin, is commonly used in Taiwan for patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC), showing an overall response rate of approximately 60% (95% CI: 45%-76%) [J Clin Oncol (Suppl) 2006; 24(18S): A14063 ]. We have demonstrated that cetuximab is cytotoxic to human GC cells, and has a chemosensitizing effect for cisplatin and 5-FU in GC cells [Proc AACR 2006; 47: A1233]. Methods: All patients had pathologically confirmed metastatic/ recurrent chemonaive GC, at least 1 measurable lesion, a fasting serum triglyceride level > 70 mg/dl, WHO PS 0/1/2, adequate hepatic, renal, and bone marrow functions. Cetuximab 400 mg/m2 was given as 2h infusion, initially (i.e., D1 of cycle 1); and followed by weekly 1h infusion of 250 mg/m2 (i.e., D8, D15, D22 of cycle 1, and D1, D8, D15, D22 of cycle 2). Cisplatin 35 mg/m2 was given as a 24h infusion, admixing with 5-FU 2,000 mg/m2 and leucovorin 300 mg/m2 (HDFL), D1, D8. A 24h infusion of HDFL was given on D15. Cycles were repeated every 28 days, and response evaluation was performed every 2 cycles & at the end of protocol treatment. The primary end-point was confirmed objective response rate (RR) by RECIST. Results: Between Dec. 2005 and Nov. 2008, 35 patients (M:19, F:16) with a median age of 56 (40–74) were enrolled and evaluable for response assessment. The overall RR was 68.6% (51–83%, 95% C.I.) with 1 CR and 23 PRs. Among a total of 269 cycles (median: 7, range: 2 to 22+ cycles) given, Gr3/4 neutropenia, infection, and hepatic toxicity developed in 6.0%, 4.8%, and 0.74% of 269 cycles, respectively. Two patients have developed acute hepatitis B flare-up among seven HBsAg (+) carriers, and were well controlled by lamivudine. Gr1, Gr2, and Gr3 acne- like rashes have developed in 57.1%, 31.4%, 5.7%; and Gr1, Gr2, Gr3 paronychia have developed in 40.0%, 8.6%, and 2.9% of 35 patients, respectively. Median PFS (range: 3 to 22+ months) and median OS (range: 3 to 35+ months) was11.0 and 14.5 months, respectively. Conclusions: Cetuximab plus infusional cisplatin-HDFL is a highly effective regimen with low toxicity and favourable survival in the first-line treatment of advanced GC.

Abstract
e14640 Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that act as negative regulators of gene expression. They have been described to play roles in solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. However the role of miRNAs in multiple myeloma (MM) has not been yet fully described. Methods: We performed miRNA-profiling of primary bone marrow-derived CD138+ MM cells, compared to their normal cellular counterparts and validated data by qRT-PCR. In vitro and in vivo functional studies were performed on miRNA-15a- and -16–1-precursors-transfected MM cells. Effect of miRNA-15a and -16–1 on signaling cascades have been evaluated by western blot and immunofluorescence. NF-kB activity has been studied using the Active Motif TransAM kit. In vivo MM cell growth has been evaluated by either using an in vivo imaging model or bioluminescence. Angiogenesis has been studied both in vitro and in vivo using the chorioallantoic membrane model. Results: We identified a MM-specific miRNA signature characterized by down-expression of miRNA-15a, -16–1 and over-expression of miRNA-222/-221/-382/-181a/-181b (P<0.01). Data were confirmed by qRT-PCR on matched samples. Predicted targets for the decreased miRNAs in MM patients included pro-angiogenic cytokines, oncogenes, cell cycle regulators, NFkB activators. Conversely, predicted targets for the increased miRNAs included cell cycle inhibitors, suppressors of cytokine signaling, and pro-apoptotic factors. We demonstrated that miRNA-15a and - 16–1 regulate proliferation and growth of MM cells. Indeed, transfected cells showed decreased DNA synthesis; decreased cyclinD1/cyclinD3/CDC25a/pRb protein expression; phase G1 cell cycle arrest. Moreover, transfected cells showed inhibition of NFkB pathway as shown by reduced p65-/p50-/p52-NFkB activities; downregulation of p-p65/p50/p52 nuclear protein level; upregulation of cttosolic phospho-IkB; and inhibited translocation of p-p65 from the cytolplasm to the nucleus. Similarly, inhibition of MM cell growth was confirmed in vivo; and anti-angiogenic properties of miRNA-15a and -16–1 were demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions: These data indicate that miRNAs play a pivotal role in the biology of MM; providing the basis for the development of new miRNA-based targeted therapies in this disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study was approved by the institutional review board, and informed consent was obtained from all subjects. The authors prospectively evaluated the feasibility of multistation whole-body dynamic contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging performed in patients with plasma cell disorders to assess disease extension and the time-signal intensity curves of diffuse and focal bone marrow infiltration. Three healthy adult male volunteers (age range, 29-31 years) and 21 patients (12 men, nine women; age range, 34-79 years) underwent whole-body dynamic unenhanced (volunteers) and contrast-enhanced MR imaging, which was performed by using an 18-channel 1.5-T MR system. A five-station (three sagittal and two coronal planes) fat-saturated three-dimensional gradient-echo sequence (3.3-3.6/1.3 [repetition time msec/echo time msec], 20 degrees flip angle, voxel size of 2 x 2.6 x [3-5] mm) was performed seven times. The temporal resolution of the five-station dynamic contrast-enhanced examination was 60 seconds with use of parallel imaging. Time-signal intensity curves for the bone marrow and the focal lesions were successfully obtained in all patients.

Abstract
Cryopreservation is now a common practice in the fields of aquaculture, conservation and biomedicine. One approach for maintaining the genetic diversity of both nuclear genome and mitochondrial DNA is cryopreservation of the blastomere. This study sets out to determine an optimum cryopreservation protocol for blastomeres isolated from 50% epiboly zebrafish embryos. Freezing was performed in 0.25 ml straws in a programmable freezer. The optimum slow cooling protocol is identified as 5 degree C per min, from 22 to -6 degree C, holding for 15 min, 0.3 degree C per min from -6 to -40 degree C, 2 degree C per min from -40 to -80 degree C, cells were held for 10 min at -80 degree C before plunging into the liquid nitrogen. Thawing was performed in a water bath at 28 degrees C for 15 s followed by four step-wise removal of the cryoprotectant. Blastomeres had the highest survival level (70.2 +/- 3.2%) when a mixture of 1.5 M dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 0.1 M sucrose were used as cryoprotectants. This was higher than that achieved with either of the sugar alternatives, trehalose (60.6 +/- 3.1%) or glucose (43.1 +/- 4.9%). In the present study, cryopreservation of 50 percent epiboly zebrafish blastomeres was studied for the first time using controlled slow cooling method.

Abstract
Cryopreservation success is usually analysed in terms of cell survival, although there are other potential effects that do not necessarily result in cell death. These include DNA damage, which could result in altered gene expression. Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR allows quantitative analysis of gene expression but usually requires analysis of a 'housekeeping' gene as an internal reference. As the stability of housekeeping genes varies significantly among different groups of samples, it is recommended that those chosen are validated for each different type of sample group. This study aimed to validate housekeeping genes for use in cryopreservation studies of zebrafish embryos. Seven potential housekeeping genes were analysed across fresh and chilled intact embryos and across fresh and frozen isolated blastomeres using the GeNorm and NormFinder software packages. Results suggest that combined use of beta-actin and EF1alpha as housekeeping genes would be suitable for cryopreservation studies on zebrafish embryos and blastomeres.

Abstract
Objective. This study has two purposes: (a) to compare the use of tumor cell suspensions and excised tumor tissue for generating renal tumors suitable for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) studies and (b) to assess the efficacy of RFA for ablation of renal VX2 tumors in a rabbit model. Procedures. VX2 tumor masses were used to inoculate 17 rabbits. The renal VX2 tumors of 13 rabbits were subsequently treated with a cooled-tip RF system at a power of 15-30 W for 3-6 minutes, and 4 rabbits served as control. After RFA, rabbits were observed by contrast-enhanced CT to ascertain the ablative range. Rabbits were divided into three groups and sacrificed at 3, 7, and 14 days post-treatment for histopathological studies. Results. Both tumor implant methods had a 100% success rate in generating tumors. The average lesion produced was 1.3x1.8x1.5 cm. Complete tumor ablation occurred in 76.9%, and local tumor growth in 23.1%. Depending on the position of the tumors, the complications after RFA treatment included infarction, perirenal hematoma, hydronephrosis, and abscess. The over-all complication rate was 38.5%. In histopathological studies, a central needle track, tumor coagulation, renal tissue coagulation, peripheral hemorrhage, and an inflammatory layer could be observed. Conclusion and clinical relevance. Application of RFA to destroy renal VX2 tumors in this rabbit model has a relatively high cure rate. It can be used to destroy small renal tumors in a precise and non-invasive manner. Impact on human medicine. We hope to apply this procedure in selected human renal tumors in the future.

Abstract
This study investigated selenoprotein P expression, using immunohistochemistry, in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue microarrays constructed from 30 gastric adenocarcinoma specimens and 30 normal gastric tissues (controls). Selenoprotein P expression scores were significantly lower in gastric adenocarcinoma (17/30, 56.7%) than in control tissues (25/30, 83.3%). Selenoprotein P was significantly more likely to be expressed in well-to-moderately differentiated cases (13/17, 76.5%) than in cases with low differentiation (4/13, 30.8%) and there was no significant difference in selenoprotein P expression between tumour node metastasis (TNM) stage I – II (11/19, 57.9%) and TNM stage III (6/11, 54.5%). In conclusion, selenoprotein P expression was low in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues compared with control tissues and was related to the degree of gastric adenocarcinoma differentiation but not to TNM stage.

Abstract
Models of maximal flavor violation (MxFV) in elementary particle physics may contain at least one new scalar SU(2) doublet field Phi(FV)=(eta(0),eta(+)) that couples the first and third generation quarks (q_(1), q_(3)) via a Lagrangian term L(FV)=xi(13)Phi(FV)q(1)q(3). These models have a distinctive signature of same-charge top-quark pairs and evade flavor-changing limits from meson mixing measurements. Data corresponding to 2 fb(-1) collected by the Collider Dectector at Fermilab II detector in pp[over ] collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV are analyzed for evidence of the MxFV signature. For a neutral scalar eta(0) with m_(eta;(0))=200 GeV/c(2) and coupling xi(13)=1, approximately 11 signal events are expected over a background of 2.1+/-1.8 events. Three events are observed in the data, consistent with background expectations, and limits are set on the coupling xi(13) for m(eta(0)=180-300 GeV/c(2).

Abstract
Metastases from prostate cancer occur largely in bone through a haematogenous route. Metastatic spread of prostate cancer to the leptomeninges was rarely seen in the past. However, there has been a recent increase in presentations of leptomeningeal spread from prostate cancer in our institutions. Between 2004 and 2006, four patients were diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with leptomeningeal metastases in our centres. All four patients had hormone refractory prostate cancer and had previously had chemotherapy. The median survival of these patients was approximately 15 months from the time of hormone refractoriness. The prognosis of leptomeningeal metastasis secondary to metastatic prostate cancer is poor, ranging from 2 to 7 months as seen in our series. New cases of leptomeningeal metastases seen in our series are hypothesized to be secondary to the use of effective modern systemic treatments. A parallel might be drawn with the increased rate of central nervous system metastases in breast cancer since the introduction of effective cytotoxic treatments and more recently targeted therapies. We suggest the clinicians to be aware of the potential change of natural history and pattern of progression in metastatic prostate cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess, in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), whether the low sensitivity of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for bone marrow assessment may be explained by histological characteristics of the cellular infiltrate. METHODS From a prospective cohort of 110 patients with newly diagnosed aggressive lymphoma, 21 patients with DLBCL had bone marrow involvement. Pretherapeutic FDG-PET images were interpreted visually and semiquantitatively, then correlated with the type of cellular infiltrate and known prognostic factors. RESULTS Of these 21 patients, 7 (33%) had lymphoid infiltrates with a prominent component of large transformed lymphoid cells (concordant bone marrow involvement, CBMI) and 14 (67%) had lymphoid infiltrates composed of small cells (discordant bone marrow involvement, DBMI). Only 10 patients (48%) had abnormal bone marrow FDG uptake, 6 of the 7 with CBMI and 4 of the 14 with DBMI. Therefore, FDG-PET positivity in the bone marrow was significantly associated with CBMI, while FDG-PET negativity was associated with DBMI (Fisher's exact test, p=0.024). There were no significant differences in gender, age and overall survival between patients with CBMI and DBMI, while the international prognostic index was significantly higher in patients with CBMI. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that in patients with DLBCL with bone marrow involvement bone marrow FDG uptake depends on two types of infiltrate, comprising small (DBMI) or large (CBMI) cells. This may explain the apparent low sensitivity of FDG-PET previously reported for detecting bone marrow involvement.

Abstract
Although many researches focused on the polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) emissions from stack, in the bottom ash and in the surrounding environment, researches focused on PCDD/F mass distributions in the whole incineration plant have seldom been addressed. This study determined PCDD/F emissions in the whole plant. A high-resolution gas chromatograph/high-resolution mass spectrometer was utilized for analyzing 17 PCDD/F species. Experimental results displayed that PCDD/Fs were formed during fly ash from super heater (SH), economizer (EC), semi-dryer absorber (SDA) and fabric filter (FF) was transferred to fly ash pit. Mass distribution ratios of PCDD/Fs in g I-TEQ (Toxicity Equivalency Quantity) per week from stack, SH, EC, SDA, FF, generation and bottom residue (BR) in start-up operations were 14.6%, 0.1%, 8.3%, 1.0%, 41.7%, 33.4% and 0.9%, respectively. Above results indicated that main PCDD/F source in the MSWI was from fly ash. However, the fly ash is easily controlled and PCDD/F emitted from stack flue gases will be difficult to be handled. Therefore, we should pay more attention on PCDD/F emission from flue gases especially from start-up procedure. Besides, fly ash should be controlled by sodium hypophosphite before being landfilled. MSWI did require further detoxification treatments for the solid residues and flue gases.

Abstract
We search for pair production of doubly charged Higgs particles (H+/- +/-) followed by decays into electron-tau (etau) and muon-tau (mutau) pairs using data (350 pb(-1) collected from [over]pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV by the CDF II experiment. We search separately for cases where three or four final-state leptons are detected, and combine results for exclusive decays to left-handed etau (mutau) pairs. We set an H+/- +/- lower mass limit of 114(112) GeV/c(2) at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract
We search for pair production of supersymmetric top quarks (t over1), followed by R-parity violating decay t over1-->taub with a branching ratio beta, using 322 pb(-1) of pp over collisions at sqrt s=1.96 TeV collected by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab. Two candidate events pass our final selection criteria, consistent with the standard model expectation. We set upper limits on the cross section sigma(t over1t over1) x beta2 as a function of the top-squark mass m(t over1). Assuming beta=1, we set a 95% confidence level limit m(t over1)>153 GeV/c2. The limits are also applicable to the case of a third-generation scalar leptoquark (LQ3) decaying LQ3-->taub.

Abstract
We report on a search for narrow-width particles decaying to a top and antitop quark pair. The data set used in the analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 680 pb(-1) collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab in run II. We present 95% confidence level upper limits on the cross section times branching ratio. Assuming a specific top-color-assisted technicolor production model, the leptophobic Z' with width Gamma(Z')=0.012M(Z'), we exclude the mass range M(Z')<725 GeV/c(2) at the 95% confidence level.

Search for the Higgs boson in events with missing transverse energy and b quark jets produced in pp collisions at square root(s)=1.96 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2008; 100:211801. [PMID: 18518598 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.100.211801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2008] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
We search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with an electroweak vector boson in events with no identified charged leptons, large imbalance in transverse momentum, and two jets where at least one contains a secondary vertex consistent with the decay of b hadrons. We use approximately 1 fb(-1) integrated luminosity of pp collisions at square root(s)=1.96 TeV recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab II experiment at the Tevatron. We find 268 (16) single (double) b-tagged candidate events, where 248+/-43 (14.4+/-2.7) are expected from standard model background processes. We observe no significant excess over the expected background and thus set 95% confidence level upper limits on the Higgs boson production cross section for several Higgs boson masses ranging from 110 to 140 GeV/c(2). For a mass of 115 GeV/c(2), the observed (expected) limit is 20.4 (14.2) times the standard model prediction.
