Abstract
This paper describes the performance of a prototype telemetric intraruminal bolus that measures and records pH continuously, can be delivered orally to the reticulum via bolling gun, has no external attachments and allows unrestricted activity of the animal. When interrogated by wireless the bolus transmits the recorded data to an operator standing beside the animal with a handheld receiving station. Boluses were placed in fistulated animals to enable direct comparison with samples obtained directly from the rumen and measured with a laboratory instrument. Overall, the mean (±s.d.) pH recorded on the manually collected samples (pH 6.64 ± 0.67) was generally less than that of the continuously measured telemetric system (pH 7.03 ± 0.54) with a correlation of r = 0.93 (P < 0.01). Data are presented to show typical diurnal and grain-enforced changes in pH recorded in a rumen over a 70-day period. The development of the Well Cow pH bolus device potentially enables researchers, dairy farmers and feedlot managers to monitor rumen function of any ruminant over prolonged periods without the need for invasive sampling. Enemark et al. (2003) considered that a 14–21-day observational period is required to properly monitor for conditions such as subacute ruminal acidosis. Whilst significant correlation (P < 0.01; r = 0.982) existed between the two readings for the first 40 days of continuous recording, the Well Cow pH bolus reading started to deviate significantly from the directly measured value thereafter. Regardless, a continuously measuring functional life of up to 40 days indicates that the current prototype has the capacity to accurately detect subacute ruminal acidosis.

Abstract
To assess long-term health effects of ovarian-stimulation drugs we followed-up for over 20 years a British cohort of 7355 women with ovulatory disorders, 43% of whom were prescribed ovarian-stimulation drugs, and identified a total of 274 deaths and 367 incident cancers. Relative to the general population, the cohort experienced lower mortality from most causes, including from all neoplasms combined, and lower incidence of cervical cancer, but higher incidence of cancers of the breast (relative risk: 1.13; 95% CI 0.97, 1.30) and corpus uteri (2.02; 1.37, 2.87). There were, however, no significant differences in the risk of cancers of the breast, corpus uteri, ovary, or of any other site, between women who had been prescribed ovarian-stimulation drugs and those who had not. Further analyses by type of drug and dose revealed a dose-response gradient in the risk of cancer of the corpus uteri (P for linear trend=0.03), with women given >or=2250 mg of clomiphene having a 2.6-fold (2.62; 0.94, 6.82) increase in risk relative to those who were not treated. These findings do not support strong associations between ovulation-stimulation drugs and cancer risks, but they indicate the need for continued monitoring to establish whether risks are elevated in certain subgroups of users.

Abstract
The purpose of this 4-day plaque regrowth study was to assess the effect of N-chlorotaurine (NCT) mouth rinses on plaque inhibition and plaque vitality. Eighty volunteers participated in this investigator-blind, randomized, clinical controlled study in parallel groups. No oral hygiene was permitted except rinsing with a 2% or 3% NCT mouth rinse, a positive or a negative control. Primary parameters were the plaque index (Silness and Löe, Acta Odontol Scand, 22:121-135, 1964) and plaque vitality (Netuschil et al., J Clin Periodontol, 16:484-488, 1989) after the final rinse. In addition, another plaque index (Turesky et al., J Periodontol, 41:41-43, 1970), plaque area, and bleeding on probing were recorded. All parameters were taken at baseline and day 5. U test was applied on a 5% error level. No differences in plaque inhibition were found between the two NCT formulations and the negative control. However, a statistically significant reduction of plaque vitality compared to the negative and positive control was observed. Discoloration of the tongue and unpleasant taste were recorded in participants in the NCT groups. NCT mouth rinses did not inhibit plaque regrowth, but they did reduce the vitality of plaque bacteria. Methods of prolonging the substantivity of the NCT mouth rinses should be investigated to enhance the antibacterial properties of these formulations.

Abstract
AIM To report the prevalence and outcome of cholangiocarcinoma arising in primary sclerosing cholangitis for a British tertiary referral centre. METHODS All patients diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis and concurrent cholangiocarcinoma were identified from a prospectively maintained departmental database, and the mode of presentation, management and outcome were determined. RESULTS Of 370 patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, 48 patients (13%) were diagnosed with a cholangiocarcinoma within a median time of 0.51 months (range: 0-73.12) from presentation to the unit. Mode of presentation included: inoperable tumours (n = 14); incidental findings in transplant hepatectomy specimens (n = 13); primary sclerosing cholangitis follow-up (n = 9); transplant work-up (n = 5); transplant waiting list (n = 5); suspected tumour confirmed at transplant (n = 1), and incidental finding at cholecystectomy (n = 1). The diagnosis was confirmed by: radiology-guided biopsy (n = 27); MRI (n = 3); CT (n = 2); laparoscopy or laparotomy (n = 2), and frozen section at transplant (n = 1). Management consisted of: transplantation (n = 14, including 1 abandoned); hepatic resection (n = 8), and palliation through stenting (n = 26). The overall median survival of the cohort was 4.9 months (range: 0.09-104.5). Median survival ranged from 2.6 months (range: 0.09-35.3) for palliation to 7.6 months (range: 0.6-99.6) for transplantation and 52.8 months (range: 3.7-104.5) for resection. There was no difference in survival between the transplant and resection groups (p = 0.14). CONCLUSIONS Cholangiocarcinoma is a common finding in primary sclerosing cholangitis and regular screening of this cohort of patients at referring centres is advocated to detect early tumours, as surgical treatment at an early stage offers significantly better outcomes for this cohort of patients.

Abstract
A least-squares-based optimization and reconstruction algorithm has been developed for rapid metabolic imaging in the context of hyperpolarized (13)C. The algorithm uses a priori knowledge of resonance frequencies, J-coupling constants, and T(2)* values to enable acquisition of high-quality metabolic images with imaging times of approximately 100 ms for an 8-cm field of view (FOV) and 0.5 cm isotropic resolution. A root-mean-square error (rMSE) analysis is introduced to optimize metabolic image quality by appropriate choice of pulse sequence parameters, echo times, and signal model. By performing the reconstruction in k-space, the algorithm also allows the inclusion of the effect of chemical shift evolution during the readout period. Single-interleaf multiecho spiral chemical shift imaging (spCSI) is analyzed in detail as an illustrative example for the use of the new reconstruction and optimization algorithm. Simulation of the in vivo spectrum following the bolus injection of hyperpolarized (13)C(1) pyruvate shows that single-interleaf spiral spectroscopic imaging can achieve image quality in 100 ms, comparable to the performance of a 13-s phase-encoded chemical shift imaging (FIDCSI) experiment. Single-interleaf spCSI was also tested at a 3-T MR scanner using a phantom containing approximately 0.5-M solutions of alanine, lactate, and a pyruvate-pyruvate hydrate C(1)-C(2) ester at thermal equilibrium polarization, all enriched to 99% (13)C in the C(1) carbonyl positions. Upon reconstruction using the k-space-based least-squares technique, metabolite ratios obtained using the spCSI method were comparable to those obtained using a reference FIDCSI acquisition.

Abstract
Field-effect-based capacitive electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) sensors have been utilised for the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) immobilisation and hybridisation detection as well as for monitoring the layer-by-layer adsorption of polyelectrolytes (anionic poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and cationic poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)). The EIS sensors with charged macromolecules have been systematically characterised by capacitance-voltage, constant-capacitance, impedance spectroscopy and atomic-force microscopy methods. The effect of the number and polarity of the polyelectrolyte layers on the shift of the capacitance-voltage curves has been investigated. Alternating potential shifts of about 30-90 mV have been observed after the adsorption of each polyanion and polycation layer, respectively. The DNA immobilisation and hybridisation signals were 35-55 and 24-33 mV, respectively. The possible mechanisms for the sensor responses are discussed.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) have a central role in mammary gland growth and differentiation as well as in breast cancer development. The BRCA1 gene encodes a pleiotropic protein that functions as a transcription factor. Germline BRCA1 mutations are associated with inherited predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer and confer a substantially increased risk for developing these neoplasms. Several lines of evidence led us to hypothesize that there is a functional interaction between the BRCA1 and IGF-I systems relevant to breast cancer biology. The present study tested the notion that BRCA1 gene expression is regulated by the IGF-I signaling pathway. Results of Western immunoblotting and RT-PCR analyses show that IGF-I stimulates BRCA1 protein and mRNA levels. Transient transfection experiments using BRCA1 promoter-luciferase reporter constructs reveal that IGF-I enhances BRCA1 promoter activity, suggesting that the effect of IGF-I is mediated at the transcriptional level. In addition, we provide evidence that the Sp1 zinc-finger protein is directly involved in BRCA1 gene transactivation. Combined, our data suggests that, at least part of the biological actions of IGF-I in mammary gland cells may be mediated through BRCA1. Dysregulated BRCA1 expression resulting from aberrant IGF signaling may have important consequences relevant to breast cancer pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex differences in drug pharmacokinetics have been well recognized and gender has been considered a risk factor for adverse events to medications. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gender on the expression of hepatocellular transport proteins involved in uptake and secretion of organic anions in rat. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression of the rat liver organic anion transporting polypeptides (Oatps) and multidrug resistance proteins (Mrps) was analysed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunoblot analysis and immunofluorescence microscopy in male and female rats. Regulation of these transport proteins in response to the steroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) was investigated. RESULTS In untreated rats, protein expression significantly differed between genders being higher (Mrp2, Mrp3), comparable [Oatp1a1 (Oatp1); Oatp1b2 (Oatp4)] or lower [Oatp1a4 (Oatp2)] in female than in male rat. DHEA treatment over 3 days (100 mg d(-1)) led to a further increase in Mrp3 expression only in female rats. Mrp2 expression was not influenced by DHEA treatment. Oatp1a1 and Oatp1b2 were significantly down-regulated after DHEA treatment in both male and female rats. In contrast, Oatp1a4 was down-regulated in male rats only. CONCLUSIONS In rat, liver transport proteins of the Oatp and Mrp family are expressed and regulated in a gender-specific manner according to sexual differences in the hepatic metabolism of steroids and drugs. These findings may partly explain the well-known sex differences in hepatic handling of organic anions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carcinoma of the duodenum is a rare disease that can present with varied symptoms and is often misdiagnosed. Prolonged survival following resection of the primary tumour is possible, whilst irresectable disease has a very poor prognosis. The factors determining resectability of the primary tumour have not been addressed. AIMS We reviewed 45 consecutive cases of duodenal carcinoma to investigate factors which influence the operative outcome of patients with this condition. PATIENTS AND METHODS Details of symptoms, diagnoses, surgical procedures and pathology were retrieved from patient records. There were 29 male and 16 female patients aged 24-79 years (median = 64 years). RESULTS The frequency of tumours in the proximal and distal duodenum was 27 and 18. Failure to diagnose the tumours at endoscopy occurred in 10 of 27 tumours of the proximal duodenum and 15 of 18 tumours of the distal duodenum. The duration of symptoms prior to diagnosis was correspondingly longer for tumours in the distal duodenum (20 weeks) than the proximal duodenum (12 weeks). Of 27 patients with tumours in the proximal duodenum, 18 underwent a potentially curative resection, whereas only 6 of the 18 tumours in the distal duodenum were resectable with curative intent. The reasons for irresectability of lesions in the distal duodenum included malignant lymphadenopathy affecting the small bowel mesentery in ten cases, which was not noted in any patient with adenocarcinoma of the proximal duodenum. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that lesions of the distal duodenum are inadequately investigated by endoscopy, and that distal duodenal tumours are less curable by resectional surgery due to invasion of the small bowel mesentery.
