Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this report is to analyze the cause of allergic transfusion reaction. METHODS The methods of immunoblot and immunonephelometry were applied to detect the levels of the immunoglobulins of IgA (Immunoglobulin A) and IgE (Immunoglobulin E) and the level of sIgE (specific Immunoglobulin E) to shrimp allergen both in the patient's pre and post transfusion blood samples, respectively. RESULTS After transfusion, The level of sIgE to shrimp showed "increase" corresponding to the concentration of 0.70-3.5 IU/ml. CONCLUSION The allergic transfusion reaction was very likely caused by passive transfer of shrimp antigen to the patient allergic to shrimp.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of periodontitis and the extent and degree of coronary artery stenosis in a Chinese population. METHODS Patients (n = 853) with coronary artery stenosis confirmed by coronary angiography were eligible to take part in the study. Only subjects that were ≥60 years old, had ≥50% stenosis in at least one coronary artery, and did not have diabetes or a history of smoking were included (n = 115). After periodontal examination, including bleeding index, probing depth calculus index, plaque index and periodontal attachment loss, four groups were defined based on the severity of periodontitis: no periodontitis/gingivitis (M0, n = 19); mild periodontitis (M1, n = 27); moderate periodontitis (M2, n = 31); and severe periodontitis (M3, n = 38). The extent and degree of coronary artery stenosis was obtained by calculating the Gensini score (GS). RESULTS The GS was significantly greater in the M3 group compared with the M0 group. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that probing depth and plaque index were significantly correlated with the GS. CONCLUSIONS The extent and severity of coronary artery stenosis in Chinese patients ≥60 years old is positively correlated with the severity of periodontitis.

Abstract
Objectives To compare the efficacy, safety and other clinical benefits of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRH-a) in women with endometriosis. Methods A systematic search was carried out using the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, MEDLINE™ and EMBASE databases for all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the use of the LNG-IUS and GnRH-a in premenopausal women with endometriosis. Results Five RCTs studies were identified. A meta-analysis showed that, in women with endometriosis, both the LNG-IUS and GnRH-a reduced pain visual analogue scale scores (weighted mean difference [WMD] 0.03 [95% confidence interval [CI] −0.53, 0.59]), serum levels of CA125 (WMD −12.29 [95% CI −29.90, 3.32]), and American Society of Reproductive Medicine staging scores (WMD 1.10 [95% CI −27.98, 30.18]). Psychological and general wellbeing index scores were increased (WMD 1.50 [95% CI −6.19, 9.19]). Levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were also significantly reduced in patients treated with the LNG-IUS (WMD 39.30 [95% CI 6.74, 71.86]). Conclusions The LNG-IUS had clinical efficacy equivalent to that of GnRH-a but may have some clinical advantages over GnRH-a in the treatment of endometriosis-associated symptoms. These observations will require further verification in additional studies employing larger patient populations.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 is a potent bone healing compound produced at sites of bone trauma. Here we present a therapeutic strategy to harness the activity of endogenously produced BMP-2 by delivery of an affinity-matched heparan sulfate (HS) glycos aminoglycan biomaterial that increases the bioavailability, bioactivity and half-life of this growth factor. We have developed a robust, cost effective, peptide-based affinity platform to isolate a unique BMP-2 binding HS variant from commercially available preparations of HS, so removing the manufacturing bottleneck for their translation into the clinic. This affinity-matched HS enhanced BMP-2-induced osteogenesis through improved BMP-2 kinetics and receptor modulation, prolonged pSMAD signaling and reduced interactions with its antagonist noggin. When co-delivered with a collagen implant, the HS was as potent as exogenous BMP-2 for the healing of critical-sized bone defects in rabbits. This affinity platform can be readily tuned to isolate HS variants targeted ata range of clinically-relevant growth and adhesive factors.

Abstract
Previous molecular phylogeny algorithms mainly rely onmulti-sequence alignments of cautiously selected characteristic sequences,thus not directly appropriate for whole genome phylogeny where eventssuch as rearrangements make full-length alignments impossible. Weintroduce here the concept of Complete Information Set (CIS) and itsmeasurement implementation as evolution distance without reference tosizes. As method proof-test, the 16s rRNA sequences of 22 completelysequenced Bacteria and Archaea species are used to reconstruct aphylogenetic tree, which is generally consistent with the commonlyaccepted one. Based on whole genome, our further efforts yield a highlyrobust whole genome phylogenetic tree, supporting separate monophyleticcluster of species with similar phenotype as well as the early evolution ofthermophilic Bacteria and late diverging of Eukarya. The purpose of thiswork is not to contradict or confirm previous phylogeny standards butrather to bring a brand-new algorithm and tool to the phylogeny researchcommunity. The software to estimate the sequence distance and materialsused in this study are available upon request to corresponding author.

Abstract
Laryngeal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is rare, with only 25 cases reported in the literature. This report presents a case of laryngeal MALT lymphoma in a 35-year-old female with a 6-year history of progressively worsening hoarseness. MALT lymphoma was diagnosed based on biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis. The patient received two cycles of cyclophosphamide + epirubicin + vincristine + prednisone (CHOP) chemo therapy, which was ineffective. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed (18)F-FDG accumulation in the larynx only and identified stage IE lymphoma. CHOP chemotherapy was terminated and the patient was treated with radiotherapy. After 3 months (total radiation dose 27 Gy), (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan showed that the laryngeal lesion was in complete remission. A review of the literature on the MEDLINE(®)/PubMed(®) databases regarding laryngeal MALT lymphoma and the use of PET/CT found that radiotherapy is the first-line treatment for stage I and II MALT lymphoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this article was to assess the success, safety, complication profile and factors associated with long-term patency of tunnelled peritoneal drains (PleurX) in the treatment of refractory malignant ascites. METHODS Over a 4-year period, 28 consecutive patients (32 drain insertions) with refractory malignant ascites were treated with a PleurX drain. The study group comprised 7 males and 21 females (mean age, 61 years). A combination of fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance was used to insert 4 drains; the remaining 28 drains were inserted under ultrasound guidance alone. Patient history, biochemical profiles, pathological and procedural records and clinical follow-up until death were reviewed. Statistical analysis included multivariate logistic regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves (p<0.05 was considered significant). RESULTS There was a 100% technical success rate for the insertion of the drain; there were no procedure-related deaths and no major complications. Only minor complications were reported: three (10%) immediate; three (10%) early; and two (7%) late. Factors significantly associated with these complications included current chemotherapy, low haemoglobin levels, low albumin levels, high white cell count and high c-reactive protein levels. The length of time the drains remained in situ, and therefore patent, ranged from 5 to 365 days (mean, 113 days). Out of the original 28 tunnelled drains, 24 (86%) remained in situ and functioning until the patients' death. Four (14%) drains dislodged and a subsequent PleurX drain was inserted on the opposite side of the abdominal wall. These new drains remained patent until the patient's death. The annual event rate was 0.45 events per year. A comorbid diagnosis of renal disease or chemotherapy was significantly related to a decreased length of patency. CONCLUSION The use of tunnelled peritoneal drains is safe and effective and we would advocate their use as a first-line approach in patients with refractory malignant ascites. Care and regular follow-up is indicated following insertion of the drain in all patients, especially those on chemotherapy and those with a pre-procedure diagnosis of renal disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Oesophagectomy may have morbidity and mortality rates that severely compromise long-term survival in elderly patients. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes in elderly patients with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with those of younger controls.
Methods
Elderly patients at least 70 years old with oesophageal SCC were matched 1 : 1 with controls aged less than 70 years according to sex, tumour stage, tumour location, histological grade, surgical approach, completeness of resection and surgical period. Co-morbidities, surgical complications, surgical mortality and long-term survival were compared.
Results
One hundred and thirty-six patients were included in each group. Surgical mortality was greater in the elderly group (5·9 versus 0·7 per cent; P = 0·036). Overall and disease-specific 5-year survival rates were worse among patients aged at least 70 years (30·0 versus 41·8 per cent, and 31·5 versus 44·7 per cent respectively), as were 10-year rates (13·7 versus 26·4 per cent, and 20·2 versus 29·0 per cent). Disease-free survival rates after 5 years (24·0 versus 35·5 per cent) and 10 years (12·3 versus 24·3 per cent) were not statistically significant (P = 0·076).
Conclusion
Poor functional status may account for higher morbidity and mortality rates in elderly patients with oesophageal SCC. Acceptable perioperative mortality rates and substantial long-term survival can still be achieved. Elderly patients should not be denied oesophagectomy.

Abstract
Fifteen percent to 35% of the United States population experiences tinnitus, a subjective "ringing in the ears". Up to 10% of those afflicted report severe and disabling symptoms. Tinnitus was induced in rats using unilateral, 1 h, 17 kHz-centered octave-band noise (116 dB SPL) and assessed using a gap-startle method. The dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) is thought to undergo plastic changes suggestive of altered inhibitory function during tinnitus development. Exposed rats showed near pre-exposure auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds for clicks and all tested frequencies 16 weeks post-exposure. Sound-exposed rats showed significantly worse gap detection at 24 and 32 kHz 16 weeks following sound exposure, suggesting the development of chronic, high frequency tinnitus. Message and protein levels of alpha(1-3,) and beta glycine receptor subunits (GlyRs), and the anchoring protein, gephyrin, were measured in DCN fusiform cells 4 months following sound exposure. Rats with evidence of tinnitus showed significant GlyR alpha(1) protein decreases in the middle and high frequency regions of the DCN while alpha(1) message levels were paradoxically increased. Gephyrin levels showed significant tinnitus-related increases in sound-exposed rats suggesting intracellular receptor trafficking changes following sound exposure. Consistent with decreased alpha(1) subunit protein levels, strychnine binding studies showed significant tinnitus-related decreases in the number of GlyR binding sites, supporting tinnitus-related changes in the number and/or composition of GlyRs. Collectively, these findings suggest the development of tinnitus is likely associated with functional GlyR changes in DCN fusiform cells consistent with previously described behavioral and neurophysiologic changes. Tinnitus related GlyR changes could provide a unique receptor target for tinnitus pharmacotherapy or blockade of tinnitus initiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES HIV disproportionately affects men who have sex with men (MSM), but HIV prevalence among MSM in Guangzhou has not shown the rapid increasing trend as it has elsewhere in China. The aim of this study is to detect the epidemic and to determine the characteristics of MSM in Guangzhou susceptible to HIV. METHODS A cross-sectional survey with serological testing for HIV, syphilis, HBV and HCV through long-chain referral sampling strategy to help control the bias generated from non-statistic sampling. RESULTS The most important features of MSM in Guangzhou are being young and mobile, and of comparable education and income level to that of the general population. The HIV prevalence was 1.3% (95% CI 0.3 to 2.7%) in 2006. Many HIV risk factors were identified: low awareness of HIV risk perception and prevention, high prevalence of diverse, multiple partners and versatile sexual role, more than half of them actively having sex with women, low persistent condom use with both male and female partners, commercial sex and one out of 27 practising needle or syringe sharing during illicit drug use. CONCLUSION HIV has been introduced into MSM in Guangzhou. Demographic and behavioural risk factors and overlapping risk populations contribute to a potentially rapidly rising epidemic among MSM and the potential for a bridge to female partners in Guangzhou if timely and effective interventions are not implemented.

Abstract
Age-related hearing loss, presbycusis, can be thought of, in part, as a slow progressive peripheral deafferentation. Previous studies suggest that certain deficits seen in presbycusis may partially result from functional loss of the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine in dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN). The present study assessed age-related behavioral gap detection changes and neurochemical changes of postsynaptic glycine receptor (GlyRs) subunits and their anchoring protein gephyrin in fusiform cells of young (7-11 months) and aged (28-33 months) Fischer brown Norway (FBN) rats. Aged rats showed significantly (20-30 dB) elevated auditory brainstem-evoked response thresholds across all tested frequencies and worse gap detection ability compared to young FBN rats. In situ hybridization and quantitative immunocytochemistry were used to measure GlyR subunit message and protein levels. There were significant age-related increases in the alpha(1) subunit message with significant age-related decreases in alpha(1) subunit protein. Gephyrin message and protein showed significant increases in aged DCN fusiform cells. The pharmacologic consequences of these age-related subunit changes were assessed using [3H] strychnine binding. In support of the age-related decrease of alpha(1) subunit protein levels in DCN, there was a significant age-related decrease in the total number of GlyR binding sites with no significant change in affinity. These age-related changes may reflect an effort to reestablish a homeostatic balance between excitation and inhibition impacting on DCN fusiform cells by downregulation of inhibitory function in the face of an age-related loss of peripheral input. Age-related decrease in presynaptic glycine release results in altered subunit composition and this may correlate with loss of temporal coding of the aged fusiform cell in DCN. The previously reported role for gephyrin in retrograde intracellular receptor subunit trafficking could contribute to the alpha(1) decrease in the face of increased message.

Abstract
In recent years, the authors have been developing novel fluoride-releasing dental composites containing ternary zirconium fluoride chelates. The aim of this study was to improve the physical and mechanical properties of these composites by improving the formulation of the monomers and photoinitiators. The hypothesis was that reduction of hydrophilic monomers and improvement of the photoinitiators could reduce water sorption and significantly increase the mechanical properties of the composite. The degree of conversion of the composites containing different compositions of photoinitiators was studied by Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR). Ten experimental composites containing different compositions of ethoxylated bisphenol-A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA), 1,6-hexanediol dimethacrylate (HDDMA), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), and 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropoxy) phenyl]-propane (BisGMA) were tested for flexural strength, viscosity, and water sorption. The experimental composite containing 20% synthesized fluoride-releasing monomer, 30% BisGMA, 30% EBPADMA, and 20% HDDMA showed significantly higher fluoride release and recharge, but physical and mechanical properties similar to those of the control composite containing 40% BisGMA, 40% EBPADMA, and 20% HDDMA.

Abstract #4155
Background: At present, our understanding of the development of bone metastasis is limited. Therefore, little progress has been made in preventing skeletal metastasis in the breast cancer patient. A satisfactory animal model that avoids the species-specific factor and simultaneously shares similarities to the clinical pathophysiological progression of breast cancer metastasizing to bone is unavailable. A subpopulation (CD44+/CD24-/lower) of breast cancer cells possesses stem/progenitor cell properties (cancer stem-like cell). CD44 potentiates the adherence of metastatic breast cancer cells to bone marrow endothelial cells. In the present study, we used hepatocyte growth factor to enhance the proportion of CD44+/CD24-/lower subpopulation in the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. We used these human breast cancer stem-like cells and implantation of human bone to build a novel human-source model of human breast cancer skeletal metastasis.
 Methods: The human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was cultured in serum-free DMEM-F12 supplemented with growth factors. Cells in different subpopulations were separated by Percoll gradient centrifugation and incubated in the presence of 50 ng/mL hepatocyte growth factor. The proportion of CD44+/CD24-/lower subpopulation in the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was detected with flow cytometry. Before injection with human breast cancer stem-like cells, the experimental animals were implanted with human bone in the right or left dorsal flanks. Animals in Groups A, B, and C were injected with 1 X 105, 1 X 106 human breast cancer stem-like cells, and 1 X 106 parental MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. A positive control group (D) without implantation of human bone (non-human source model) was also injected with 1 X 106 MDA-MB-231 cells. A group of negative controls (E) with human bone implantation was injected with isotonic sodium chloride. For each group, Micro-SPECT was performed at weeks 4 and 7, and all animals were sacrificed at week 8. Immunohistochemistry was performed for CD34, CD105, SMA, CD44, CD24, CK, CXCR4, and OPN. mRNA levels of CD44, CD24, CXCR4, and OPN in bone metastasis tissues were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
 Results: New vessels and connective tissue were found on the surface of implanted human bones and cells stained positive for antibodies against human CD105, SMA, and CD34, indicating that implanted human bones were viable and functional. Histologic and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the metastases as cancer cells. Importantly, the results demonstrated that cells in implanted human bones of group B, which received 1 X 106 cancer stem-like cells, stained strongly positive for CD44, CXCR4, and OPN, whereas that of other groups showed no or minimum staining. Moreover, group B had the highest incidence of human bone metastasis (77.8%, P = 0.0230) and no accompaniment of other tissue metastasis. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed an increase of CD44 mRNA in metastatic bone tissues in group B compared with that of groups C and D (15.2- and 21.1-fold, respectively). The mRNA levels of CXCR4 and OPN (8.4- and 28.4-fold, respectively) in bone metastasis tissues of group B were all higher than that of groups C and D (4.8- and 11.6-fold; respectively). The levels of CD24 mRNA in group B were lowest, measuring only 30 percent of that in groups C and D.
 Conclusion: This study indicates that in the novel human source model of breast cancer, breast cancer stem-like cells demonstrate a higher human bone-seeking ability, which may contribute to increase metastasis incidence and attenuate species-specific influences. Its mechanism might be related to the higher expressions of CD44, CXCR4 and OPN, and the lower expression of CD24 in breast cancer stem-like cells. The model shares more similarities with clinical pathological features of bone metastatic patients. It will be helpful for further study of the mechanisms and subclinical diagnosis of bone metastasis.

Abstract
This paper presents an algorithm for accurate and improved detection of the first heart sound S<inf>1</inf>for heart sound cardiac cycle segmentation under noisy environments. The proposed algorithm integrates an S<inf>1</inf>/S<inf>2</inf>selection step and an S<inf>1</inf>identification step. An adaptive sub-level tracking algorithm based on wavelet transform is proposed to separate the S<inf>1</inf>and S<inf>2</inf>from other components such as murmurs and noises. This is followed by a detection procedure based on Shannon energy to reject the overlapping interference so that the peaks of S<inf>1</inf>and S<inf>2</inf>can be detected. Criteria of time interval, energy and phonocardiogram (PCG) collecting position are used to identify S<inf>1</inf>with respect to the beginning of each cardiac cycle. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm leads to an efficient segmentation of PCG cycle. Due to its simplicity and fast implementation, the method can be deployed clinically for further analysis and eventual use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that an oxidative mechanism is involved with the impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation that occurs after a high-fat meal. HYPOTHESIS The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of a single oral dose of vitamin C (2 g) on postprandially impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS This study included 74 patients with CHD and 50 subjects without CHD with risk factors. The two groups were divided into two subgroups that did or did not receive 2 g of vitamin C (CHD/VitC and CHD/control, n = 37; non-CHD/VitC and non-CHD/control, n = 25) after a high-fat meal (800 calories, 50 g fat). Serum levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the fasting state and at 2, 4, 5, and 7 h after the high-fat meal were measured. Endothelial function was assessed in the brachial artery by high-resolution ultrasound at baseline and at 4 h postprandially. RESULTS The postprandial serum triglyceride concentration increased significantly at 2-5 h after the high-fat meal in all groups. The fasting flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) (p < 0.02) and nitroglycerin-induced dilatation (NID) (p < 0.05) of patients with CHD were impaired compared with those of non-CHD subjects. Postprandial FMD was significantly aggravated in the non-CHD/control group (p < 0.01) and the CHD/control group (p < 0.001), but the postprandial FMD in patients and subjects taking vitamin C showed no significant change, although the CHD/VitC group had a mild tendency toward improvement (p = 0.064) and non-CHD/VitC group had a mild tendency toward aggravation (p = 0.852). The change of NID after a high-fat meal did not reach statistical significance in the four groups. The decrement of postprandial FMD correlated positively with the increment of 2-h serum triglyceride concentration in the patients without vitamin C (n = 62, r = 0.545, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The postprandial state after a high-fat meal is critical in atherogenesis, as it induces endothelial dysfunction through an oxidative stress mechanism. Vitamin C treatment has a promising benefit for patients with CHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of these experiments was to evaluate the significance of the chemical reaction between hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) for the control of vascular tone. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The effect of sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS; H2S donor) and a range of NO donors, such as sodium nitroprusside (SNP), either alone or together, was determined using phenylephrine (PE)-precontracted rat aortic rings and on the blood pressure of anaesthetised rats. KEY RESULTS Mixing NaHS with NO donors inhibited the vasorelaxant effect of NO both in vitro and in vivo. Low concentrations of NaHS or H2S gas in solution reversed the relaxant effect of acetylcholine (ACh, 400 nM) and histamine (100 microM) but not isoprenaline (400 nM). The effect of NaHS on the ACh response was antagonized by CuSO(4) (200 nM) but was unaffected by glibenclamide (10 microM). In contrast, high concentrations of NaHS (200-1600 microM) relaxed aortic rings directly, an effect reduced by glibenclamide but unaffected by CuSO4. Intravenous infusion of a low concentration of NaHS (10 micromol kg(-1) min(-1)) into the anaesthetized rat significantly increased mean arterial blood pressure. L-NAME (25 mg kg(-1), i.v.) pretreatment reduced this effect. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These results suggest that H2S and NO react together to form a molecule (possibly a nitrosothiol) which exhibits little or no vasorelaxant activity either in vitro or in vivo. We propose that a crucial, and hitherto unappreciated, role of H2S in the vascular system is the regulation of the availability of NO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the useful parameters of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the diagnosis of stroke subtypes in patients with acute cerebral infarction. METHODS One hundred and one acute ischemic stroke patients met all of the following criteria; > or = 50 years of age, normal sinus rhythm on admission, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) within 7 days from the onset. The clinical significance of the TTE parameters on admission was examined for identifying intracardiac thrombus formation as follows: left atrial dimension, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, percentage fractional shortening, left ventricular mass index, ratio of the transmitral inflow velocities (E/A), and deceleration time of the E wave. RESULTS There were 28 patients with E/A > or = 1.0(70 +/- 12 years old) and 73 with E/A < 1.0 (73 +/- 10 years old). No patient showed pulmonary congestion on chest radiography. There were no significant differences in age, TTE parameters, and plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide between the two groups. Patients with E/A > or = 1.0 had higher incidence of left atrial appendage thrombus formation and/or spontaneous echographic contrast than those with < 1.0 (25% vs 5%, p = 0.0058). There was a significant relationship between E/A and emptying flow velocity of the left atrial appendage (r = -0.569, p < 0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed E/A was an independent predictor for left atrial appendage thrombus (risk ratio 1.531 per 0.1 increase, 95% confidence interval 1.129-2.076, p = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS Increased level of E/A on admission was associated with the occurrence of left atrial appendage thrombus formation in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
