Abstract
An insulinoma cell line, NIT-1, transfected with glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) was established, namely NIT-GRP78, and used to study the immunosuppressive and protective ability of GRP78. In extended cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) killing assay, NIT-1-primed lymphocytes were more cytotoxic in killing beta cells than NIT-GRP78-primed lymphocytes. Severe necrosis was observed only when the NIT-1-primed lymphocytes were cultured with NIT-1 beta cells, but not with NIT-GRP78 cells. In addition, an increase of interleukin (IL)-4 secretion from beta cell-primed splenocytes when GRP78 presence was observed in cytokine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Diabetic mice reached normoglycaemia promptly and gained weight after transplantation of either NIT-1 or NIT-GRP78 cells. However, the recipient mice transplanted with NIT-GRP78 cells lived much longer than those recipients transplanted with NIT-1 cells, which was due apparently to prolonged insulin production by the transplanted NIT-GRP78 cells. In fact, we observed a significant increase of insulin concentration after glucose stimulation of diabetic mice received NIT-GRP78 cells at day 7 post-transplantation. From the results we propose that GRP78 could have a dual function in both protecting NIT-1 cells from CTL-mediated lysis and stimulating a population of T helper 2 cells to down-regulate the immune response to the transplanted beta cells.

Abstract
The susceptibility of neuronal cells to nitric oxide (NO) is a key issue in NO-mediated neurotoxicity. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. As a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-independent NO signaling pathway, S-nitrosylation (or S-nitrosation) has been suggested to occur as a post-translational modification in parallel with O-phosphorylation. The underlying mechanism of the involvement of protein S-nitrosylation in the susceptibility of neuronal cells to NO has been little investigated. In this study, we focused on the role of S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) in the susceptibility of a cerebellar cell line R2 to NO. Our results showed the following: (i) S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) induced a burst of RSNO in GSH-depleted R2 cells, the majority of which were primarily contributed by the S-nitrosylation of proteins (Pro-SNOs), and was followed by severe neuronal necrosis; (ii) the elevation in the level of Pro-SNOs resulted from a dysfunction of S-nitroglutathione reductase (GSNOR) as a result of its substrate, GSNO, being unavailable in GSH-depleted cells. In the meantime, the suppression of GSNOR increased NO-mediated neurotoxicity in R2 cells, as well as in cerebellar granule neurons; (iii) Our results also demonstrate that the burst of RSNO is the "checkpoint" of cell fate: if RSNO can be reduced to free thiol proteins, cells will survive; if they are further oxidized, cells will die; and (iv) GSH-ethyl ester and Vitamin C protected R2 cells against GSNO neurotoxicity through two distinct mechanisms: by inhibiting the elevation of Pro-SNOs and by reducing Pro-SNOs to free thiol proteins, respectively. A novel mechanism underlying the susceptibility of neuronal cells to NO is proposed and some potential strategies to prevent the NO-mediated neurotoxicity are discussed.

Abstract
The cross section for e+ e- --> pi+ pi- psi(2S) between threshold and sqrt[s]=5.5 GeV is measured using 673 fb(-1) of data on and off the Upsilon(4S) resonance collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. Two resonant structures are observed in the pi+ pi- psi(2S) invariant-mass distribution, one at 4361 +/- 9 +/- 9 MeV/c2 with a width of 74 +/- 15 +/- 10 MeV/c2, and another at 4664 +/- 11 +/- 5 MeV/c2 with a width of 48 +/- 15 +/- 3 MeV/c2, if the mass spectrum is parametrized with the coherent sum of two Breit-Wigner functions. These values do not match those of any of the known charmonium states.

Abstract
We report a measurement of D0-D(0) mixing parameters in D(0) --> K(s)(0) pi(+) pi(-) decays using a time-dependent Dalitz-plot analysis. We first assume CP conservation and subsequently allow for CP violation. The results are based on 540 fb(-1) of data accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider. Assuming negligible CP violation, we measure the mixing parameters x = (0.80 +/- 0.29(-0.07-0.14)(+0.09+0.10))% and y = (0.33+/-0.24(-0.12-0.08)(+0.08+0.06))%, where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic, and systematic due to the Dalitz decay model, respectively. Allowing for CP violation, we obtain the CP-violating parameters |q / p| = 0.86(-0.29-0.03)(+0.30+0.06) +/- 0.08 and arg(q/p) = (-14(-18-3-4)(+16+5+2)) degrees .

Abstract
Mdm2, a regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor, is frequently overexpressed in lymphomas, including lymphomas that have inactivated p53. However, the biological consequences of Mdm2 overexpression in lymphocytes are not fully resolved. Here, we report that increased expression of Mdm2 in B cells augmented proliferation and reduced susceptibility to p53-dependent apoptosis, which was due to inhibition of p53 and suppression of p21 expression. Notably, developing and mature B cells from Mdm2 transgenic mice had an increased frequency of chromosomal/chromatid breaks and/or aneuploidy. This Mdm2-mediated genome instability occurred at a similar frequency as that in B cells overexpressing the oncogene c-Myc, but the chromosomal instability was not further enhanced when Mdm2 and c-Myc were overexpressed together. Elevated Mdm2 expression alone increased the occurrence of B-cell transformation in vivo and cooperated with c-Myc overexpression, resulting in an acceleration of B-cell lymphomagenesis. In addition, the frequency of p53 mutations was reduced, but not eliminated, in lymphomas arising in Mdm2/Emu-myc double transgenic mice. Therefore, increased Mdm2 expression facilitated B-cell lymphomagenesis, in part, through regulation of p53 by altering B-cell proliferation and susceptibility to apoptosis, and by inducing chromosomal instability.

Abstract
A cohort of 138 children with 144 hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) performed in 1997-2006 were analyzed to evaluate risk factors and mortality predictors of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD). Nineteen patients (13.2%) developed VOD (nine boys, median age 3.5 years) at 1-21 days after HSCT (median 13 days). Age < or =2 years at transplant (odds ratio (OR)=5.25, P=0.011), BU-CY conditioning (OR=5.16, P=0.001), thalassemia major (OR=3.97, P=0.015), platelet engraftment beyond day +21 (OR=8.67, P=0.025) were univariate risk factors for VOD. The first two remained significant in multivariate regression. Seven patients (36.8%) with VOD died, at a median of 44 days post transplant (range, 30-421 days). The 5-year survival was 62%. All surviving patients had normal liver function on follow-up at 0.5-9 years. Patients with VOD had higher 100-day mortality (16.3 vs 9.6%, P=0.024). Mortality predictors included donors other than autologous or matched sibling (hazard ratio (HR)=23.6, P=0.006), hepatic and cutaneous GVHD (HR=8.15, P=0.038), maximal weight gain >9% (HR=6.81, P=0.023), pleural effusion, intensive care unit admission, peak bilirubin >300 micromol l(-1) (HR=13.6, P=0.016), day +21 bilirubin >200 micromol l(-1) (HR=33.9, P=0.001), and rise of bilirubin >15 micromol l(-1) per day within the first week (HR=19.8, P=0.006). Mortality was substantially higher if >3 predictors were present (HR=33.9, P=0.001). Meticulous monitoring in high-risk patients and early treatment should be considered before VOD progresses beyond salvage.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effects of paclitaxel-octreotide conjugates on the growth of cultured non-small cell lung cancer cells. METHODS RT-PCR was performed to detect mRNA for the subtypes of the human somatostatin receptor (SSTR) using specific primers. MTT-based cytotoxicity assay was used to evaluate the cell viability after treatment with paclitaxel and the conjugates. Cell cycle perturbations were determined using a Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorter. RESULTS Non-small cell lung cancer A549 and Calu-6 cells expressed mRNA for SSTR2 and SSTR5. Paclitaxel and the conjugates effectively inhibited the growth of A549 and Calu-6 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. In SSTR-negative fibroblasts, the conjugates were less cytotoxic than paclitaxel. The conjugates and paclitaxel could induce the increase of G(2)/M phase ratio in A549 cells. CONCLUSION The paclitaxel-octreotide conjugates can be used as selective-targeted chemotherapeutic agents for treating non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
High-power operation of a single-mode, linearly polarized, broadband superfluorescent fiber source has been achieved by using a two-stage cladding-pumped fiber configuration comprising a low power, single-ended, ytterbium-doped superfluorescent fiber seed source and a high-power cladding-pumped, polarization-maintaining, large-mode-area, ytterbium-doped amplifier pumped by a high-power diode source at 976 nm. The source yielded a maximum linearly polarized output of 106 W with a slope efficiency of up to 67% with respect to the launched pump power and with a measured polarization extinction ratio of 13.5 dB. The wavelength spectrum of the superfluorescent source spanned the range continuously from ~1035 to 1100 nm, and the bandwidth (FWHM) of the emission spectrum was 21 nm. The minimum seed power required for an output power over 100 W was only 10 mW, corresponding to an effective power gain in the amplifier stage of 40 dB. Single-spatial-mode operation with a beam propagation factor (M(2))<1.1 was achieved by bending the amplifier fiber to a bend radius of ~8 cm, without a significant reduction in output power.

Abstract
AIM To determine the diagnostic value and major complications of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for primary liver cancer (PLC) and its influence on the treatment outcome and prognosis. METHODS Information was gathered retrospectively for 3011 patients who presented with suspected PLC. Of which 2528 cases underwent ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) biopsy. Patients were followed up through repeated office visits and imaging studies with a median follow-up of 7 months (range, 1-29 months). RESULTS The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and overall accuracy of cytological diagnosis by FNA biopsy for detection of liver malignancy were 91.5%, 100.0%, 100.00%, 59.1% and 92.4% respectively. All patients with AFP> or = 400 microg/L were associated with malignancy. Of 1154 patients with AFP<400 microg/L who were finally proved PLC, 945 were detected by FNA alone. Major complications included bleeding in 11 cases (5 of them died later), occurred mainly in hepatocellular carcinoma with superficial location, large tumors and severe cirrhosis, and implantation metastases in 5 cases, which were recognized as a subcutaneous nodule at the previous biopsy site. Implantation metastases were treated with resection or radiotherapy. CONCLUSION FNA biopsy is valuable for the diagnosis of PLC. However, complications of post-biopsy hemorrhage should not be ignored, as such bleeding may be fatal. Implantation seems to have little effect on the prognosis.

Abstract
A hybrid photoelectroreaction system has been developed in this study, which consists of three functional electrodes: a TiO2/Ti sheet as the anode, a steel (Fe) sheet as another anode in parallel and a piece of graphite felt (GF) as the cathode. While an electrical current is applied between the Fe anode and GF cathode and UV light is irradiated on the surface of TiO2/Ti anode, both of E-Fenton reaction and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) reaction are involved simultaneously. The integration of E-Fenton and PEC reactions was evaluated in terms of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation in aqueous solution. In the meantime, the current distribution between two anodes and pH influence on the 2,4-DCP degradation were studied and optimized. Experimental results confirmed that 2,4-DCP in aqueous solution was successfully degraded by 93% and mineralized by 78% within 60 min in such a hybrid oxidation process. When a current intensity of 3.2 mA was applied, the current efficiency for H2O2 generation on the GF cathode was determined to be 61%. Furthermore, the experiments demonstrated that combination of E-Fenton reaction with photocatalytic reaction let the process be less pH sensitive and would be more favorable to water and wastewater treatment in practice.

Abstract
Two flavone O-glycosides were isolated from allelopathic rice seedlings and have been identified as 5,4'-dihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxy-7-O-beta-glucopyranosylflavone and 7,4'-dihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxy-5-O-beta-glucopyranosylflavone. Considerable levels of these glycosides could be found in allelopathic rice tissues. They could not be detected in the soils growing these allelopathic rice seedlings. Only their aglycone, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxyflavone, could be found in the soil. Further experiments showed that two flavone O-glycosides were exuded from allelopathic rice roots to the rihzosphere and then transformed into their aglycone form, that is, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxyflavone, with a great diversity of biological activities on associated weeds and microbes by soil interactions once released. The glycosides degraded rapidly (t1/2 < 2 h), whereas their aglycone was more resistant toward degradation in paddy soils, in which the half-life (t1/2) at low (25 mug/g) and high (200 mug/g) doses reached 19.86 +/- 3.64 h (r 2 = 0.97) and 28.78 +/- 3.72 h (r 2 = 0.98), respectively. Furthermore, the mobility of both glycosides and their aglycone in paddy soil was evaluated by soil TLC with bioassay. The mobility of the glycosides (Rf = 0.418 +/- 0.069, n = 18) is higher than that of the aglycone (Rf = 0.361 +/- 0.048, n = 18). The results suggested that two flavone O-glycosides are formed in rice biosynthesis and that storage of the allelochemicals and their aglycone 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxyflavone is the agent of alleloapthic rice which interferes with weeds or microbes in paddy soil.

Abstract
A single plasmid regulated expression vector based upon a mifepristone-inducible two plasmid system, termed pBRES, has been constructed and tested in mice using murine interferon-b (mIFNb) as the transgene. The expression of mIFNb in the circulation was followed by measuring the systemic induction of IP-10, a validated biomarker for mIFNb in mice. Long-term, inducible expression of mIFNb was demonstrated following a single intramuscular (i.m.) injection of the pBRES mIFNb plasmid vector into the hind limb of mice. Induction of mIFNb expression was achieved by administration of the small molecule inducer, mifepristone (MFP). Plasmid DNA and mIFNb mRNA levels in the injected muscles correlated with mIFNb expression as monitored by IP-10 over a 3-month time period. Renewable transgene expression was achieved following repeat administration of the plasmid at 3 months following the first plasmid injection. A dose-dependent increase in expression was demonstrated by varying the amount of injected plasmid or the amount of the inducer administered to the mice. Finally, the pBRES plasmid expressing mIFNb under control of the inducer, MFP, was shown to be efficacious in a murine model of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, supporting the feasibility of gene-based therapeutic approaches for treating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Using 14 x 10(6) psi(2S) events accumulated at the BESII detector, we report first measurements of branching fractions or upper limits for psi(2S) decays into gammapp, gamma2(pi+pi-), gammaKS0K+pi-+c.c., gammaK+K-pi+pi-, gammaK*0K-pi++c.c., gammaK*0K*0, gammapi+pi-pp, gamma2(K+K-), gamma3(pi+pi-), and gamma2(pi+pi-)K+K- with the invariant mass of hadrons below 2.9 GeV/c2. We also report branching fractions of psi(2S) decays into 2(pi+pi-)pi0, omegapi+pi-, omegaf2(1270), b1+/-pi-/+, and pi02(pi+pi-)K+K-.

Abstract
4538 Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive cancer endemic in Asia with few effective treatments. We hypothesize that FOXO3a may be a potential prognostic marker in HCC and analyze the effects of targeted therapy acting on the PI3K/AKT pathway, of which FOXO3a is downstream. PI3K activates serine/threonine protein kinase AKT, causing FOXO3a phosphorylation and its nuclear translocation, promoting apoptosis. Tumor suppressor, promyelocytic leukemia (PML), inactivates nuclear phosphorylated AKT (pAKT). mTOR, also of the P13K/AKT pathway, is dysregulated in many cancers. PI3K is an effector of RAS, which controls downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular regulated kinase (MEK/ERK) pathway. AZD6244 is a selective inhibitor of MEK1/2. RAD001 (Everolimus) specifically inhibits mTOR. Avastin (bevacizumab) is an anti-angiogenic agent. These therapies have shown clinical efficacy in various cancers, including preliminary results with either RAD001 or avastin treatment in HCC. Method: We analyzed FOXO3a status in 91 stage I and II HCC patients using relative real-time PCR and immunoblotting analysis. Using a primary human HCC xenograft SCID mouse model, we examined tumor efficacy and molecular effects of AZD6244, RAD001 and Avastin treatment. Results: The median survival of the high FOXO3a-expressing group (2-fold increased expression vs normal, >2.0, n=16) was 27 months versus 95 months for the low expressing group (2-fold decreased expression vs normal, <0.5, n=58) (p=0.037). Pearson correlation analysis indicated a positive correlation between FOXO3a and PML (n=46, correlation=0.533, p<0.001). Immunoblotting results for 8 random HCC samples reveal increased levels of pFOXO3a (Ser253) in all tumor tissue compared to adjacent normal. Treatment of HCC xenograft mice with AZD6244 or RAD001 caused significant tumor shrinkage and reduced levels of pAKT (Ser308) and pFOXO3a (Ser318). Avastin had cytostatic effects and unchanged levels of pFOXO3a (Ser318). Conclusion: FOXO3a predicts for overall survival in HCC. A positive correlation is established between FOXO3a and PML. AZD6244 and RAD001 can induce tumor regression via the AKT-FOXO3a pathway in HCC xenografts. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
We present a measurement of the cross section of the process e(+)e(-)-->pi(+)pi(-)psi(2S) from threshold up to 8 GeV center-of-mass energy using events containing initial-state radiation, produced at the SLAC PEP-II e(+)e(-) storage rings. The study is based on 298 fb(-1) of data recorded with the BABAR detector. A structure is observed in the cross section not far above threshold, near 4.32 GeV. We also investigate the compatibility of this structure with the Y(4260) previously reported by this experiment.

Abstract
We present a measurement of the partial branching fractions and mass spectra of the exclusive radiative penguin processes B-->Kpipigamma in the range m(Kpipi)<1.8 GeV/c(2). We reconstruct four final states: K(+)pi(-)pi(+)gamma, K(+)pi(-)pi(0)gamma, K(S)(0)pi(-)pi(+)gamma, and K(S)(0)pi(+)pi(0)gamma, where K(S)(0)-->pi(+)pi(-). Using 232 x 10(6) e(+)e(-)-->BB events recorded by the BABAR experiment at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy storage ring, we measure the branching fractions B(B(+)-->K(+)pi(-)pi(+)gamma)=[2.95+/-0.13(stat)+/-0.20(syst)] x 10(-5), B(B(0)-->K(+)pi(-)pi(0)gamma)=[4.07+/-0.22(stat)+/-0.31(syst)] x 10(-5), B(B(0)-->K(0)pi(+)pi(-)gamma)=[1.85+/-0.21(stat)+/-0.12(syst)] x 10(-5), and B(B(+)-->K(0)pi(+)pi(0)gamma)=[4.56+/-0.42(stat)+/-0.31(syst)] x 10(-5).

Abstract
We present measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in the decay B(0)-->a(1)(+/-)(1260)pi(-/+) with a(1)(+/-)(1260)-->pi(-/+)pi(+/-)pi(+/-). The data sample corresponds to 384x10(6) BB[over ] pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC. We measure the CP-violating asymmetry A(CP)(a(1)pi)=-0.07+/-0.07+/-0.02, the mixing-induced CP violation parameter S(a(1)pi)=0.37+/-0.21+/-0.07, the direct CP violation parameter C(a(1)pi)=-0.10+/-0.15+/-0.09, and the parameters DeltaC(a(1)pi)=0.26+/-0.15+/-0.07 and DeltaS(a(1)pi)=-0.14+/-0.21+/-0.06. From these measured quantities we determine the angle alpha(eff)=78.6 degrees +/-7.3 degrees.
