Abstract
Traditional alcohol studies measure blood alcohol concentration to elucidate the biomedical factors that contribute to alcohol abuse and alcoholism. These measurements require large and expensive equipment, are labor intensive, and are disruptive to the subject. To alleviate these problems, we have developed an implantable, wireless biosensor that is capable of measuring alcohol levels for up to six weeks. Ethanol levels were measured in vivo in the interstitial fluid of a Wistar rat after administering 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg ethanol by intraperitoneal (IP) injection. The data were transmitted wirelessly using a biosensor selective for alcohol detection. A low-power piezoresistive microcantilever sensor array was used with a polymer coating suitable for measuring ethanol concentrations at 100% humidity over several hours. A hydrophobic, vapor permeable nanopore membrane was used to screen liquid and ions while allowing vapor to pass to the sensor from the subcutaneous interstitial fluid.

Abstract
With aging, glucose tolerance (GT) declines, plasma insulin concentration increases, and sensitivity to the action of insulin declines. Evidence is accumulating that this decline in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity can be prevented by regularly performed vigorous exercise. Preliminary results are presented in this paper showing that prolonged, strenuous and frequent exercise can also completely normalize GT by decreasing resistance to insulin in some patients with mild non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and in some individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Exercise appears to be effective in normalizing GT only in patients who still have an adequate capacity to secrete insulin, and in whom insulin resistance is the major cause for abnormal GT. The amount of exercise required to normalize GT in such patients appears to be in the range of 25 to 35 km per week of running, or a comparable amount of another form of exercise, performed on a regular basis.

Abstract
Mitochondrial proliferation was studied in chronically stimulated rabbit skeletal muscle over a period of 50 days. After this time, subunits of COX had increased about fourfold. Corresponding mRNAs, encoded on mitochondrial DNA as well as on nuclear genes, were unchanged when related to total tissue RNA, however, they were elevated two- to fivefold when the massive increase of ribosomes per unit mass of muscle was taken into account. The same was true for the mRNA encoding mitochondrial transcription factor A. Surprisingly, tissue levels of mtTFA protein were reduced about twofold, together with mitochondrial DNA. In conclusion, mitochondria are able to maintain high rates of mitochondrial transcription even in the presence of reduced mtTFA protein and mtDNA levels. Therefore, stimulated mtTFA gene expression accompanies stimulated mitochondrial transcription, as in other models, but it is not sufficient for an increase of mtDNA copy number and other, yet unknown, factors have to be postulated.

Abstract
Aiming to find key genes and events, we analyze a large data set on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) gene-expression (248 patients, 12196 spots). Applying the loess normalization method on these raw data yields improved survival predictions, in particular for the clinical important group of patients with medium survival time. Furthermore, we identify a simplified prognosis predictor, which stratifies different risk groups similarly well as complex signatures. We identify specific, activated B cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B cell-like (GCB) distinguishing genes. These include early (e.g. CDKN3) and late (e.g. CDKN2C) cell cycle genes. Independently from previous classification by marker genes we confirm a clear binary class distinction between the ABC and GCB subgroups. An earlier suggested third entity is not supported. A key regulatory network, distinguishing marked over-expression in ABC from that in GCB, is built by: ASB13, BCL2, BCL6, BCL7A, CCND2, COL3A1, CTGF, FN1, FOXP1, IGHM, IRF4, LMO2, LRMP, MAPK10, MME, MYBL1, NEIL1 and SH3BP5. It predicts and supports the aggressive behaviour of the ABC subgroup. These results help to understand target interactions, improve subgroup diagnosis, risk prognosis as well as therapy in the ABC and GCB DLBCL subgroups.

Abstract
4076 Background: BICC-C was a multicenter, randomized study that assessed efficacy & safety of irinotecan/fluoropyrimidines combinations in previously untreated mCRC patients. This study showed that FOLFIRI or FOLFIRI+bev were superior to their comparators (Proc ASCO 2006). We conducted a secondary analysis of efficacy & safety among all patients >65 years compared with those =65. Methods: Pts were randomized to: infusional FOLFIRI, modified bolus IFL (mIFL), or CapeIri; and concurrent celecoxib or placebo in a double-blind fashion. The protocol was amended in April 2004 and bevacizumab (bev) was added to the FOLFIRI and mIFL arms whereas CapeIri was discontinued. Period 1 (P1) and Period 2 (P2) designate subjects enrolled before or after the amendment. Results: Of 430 pts enrolled in P1, 150 were age >65 (median 71; range, 66–87) and 280 were = 65 (median, 56; 20–65). Of 117 pts in P2, 75 were >65 (median, 73; 66–84) and 42 were = 65 (median, 54; 32–65). No significant differences in efficacy or safety were observed between the two age groups. Results for P1: median progression free survival (PFS) was 6.5 and 6.7 mos; and median overall survival (OS) was 18.8 and 19.2 for >65 and =65, respectively. For the FOLFIRI regimen specifically median PFS was 7.5 and 7.6 mos, and median OS was 20.1 and 24.3 mos for >65 and =65, respectively. Results for P2: median PFS was 10.3 and 10.6 mos; and median OS was 19.8 and 23 mos for >65 and =65, respectively. For the FOLFIRI+bev regimen specifically median PFS was 11.1 and 11.2 mos for >65 and =65 respectively, and median OS has not yet been reached for either subgroup at time of analysis. Common grade = 3 AEs are listed below. Conclusions: Efficacy and safety for first line irinotecan/fluoropyrimidine regimens and for FOLFIRI & FOLFIRI+bev, specifically, did not differ for older and younger mCRC patients.

Period 1 (P1) and Period 2 (P2) designate subjects enrolled before or after the amendment. Initial efficacy & safety analyses were reported at ASCO ’06. We now report follow-up of 46 months for P1 and 31 months for P2. Results: 430 pts were treated in P1 and 117 pts in P2. Baseline characteristics and post-study treatment were balanced. P1 results: Median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.6 mos for FOLFIRI; 5.9 mos for mIFL (p=0.004); and 5.8 mos for CapeIri (p=0.015). Median overall survival (OS) was 23.1 mos for FOLFIRI; 17.6 mos for mIFL (p=0.087); and 18.9 mos for CapeIri (p=0.27). One-year survival rate favored FOLFIRI (75%) compared to either mIFL (65%) or CapeIri (66%). Overall Response Rate (ORR) was 47% in FOLFIRI, 43% in mIFL, 39% in CapeIri (not significantly different). P2 results: Median PFS was 11.2 mos for FOLFIRI+bev and 8.3 mos for mIFL+bev (p=0.28). Median OS was not reached for FOLFIRI+bev but was 19.2 mos for mIFL+bev (p=0.007). One-year survival rate favored FOLFIRI+bev (87%) when compared to mIFL+bev (61%). ORR was 58% for FOLFIRI+bev and 54% for mIFL+bev (p=0.73). Common grade = 3 AEs are listed below. Celecoxib did not impact safety or efficacy. Conclusions: First line FOLFIRI or FOLFIRI+bev were superior to their comparators and show favorable results in survival and tolerability in untreated mCRC. Median survival for FOLFIRI+bev has not been reached. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
The role of cortisol in regulating cardiac myocyte growth in the near-term fetal sheep is unknown. We hypothesized that cortisol would suppress cardiomyocyte proliferation and stimulate cardiomyocyte binucleation and enlargement, signs of terminal differentiation. Cardiomyocyte dimensions and percent binucleation were determined in isolated cardiac myocytes from seven cortisol-treated and seven control fetuses; percentage of myocytes positive for Ki-67 was determined in an additional four cortisol-treated and four control hearts. Cortisol was infused into the circumflex coronary artery at subpressor rates (0.5 microg/kg.min, 7 d). Cortisol infusion had no hemodynamic effects, compared with controls or pretreatment conditions. Cortisol treatment increased heart weight (44.0 +/- 8.7 g vs. control, 34.9 +/- 9.1 g, P < 0.05). Heart to body weight ratio was greater in treated hearts, compared with controls (10.3 +/- 1.9 vs. 7.7 +/- 0.9 g/kg, P < 0.01). Ventricular myocyte length, width, and percent binucleation were not different between groups. The proportion of treated myocytes in the cell cycle staining for Ki-67 was higher in the left ventricle (5.5 +/- 0.1 vs. 2.7 +/- 0.4%, P < 0.005) and right ventricle (4.4 +/- 0.4 vs. 3.7 +/- 0.7%, P < 0.05), compared with controls. Wet weight to dry weight ratios from cortisol-treated and control hearts were not different. In conclusion, whereas cortisol infused into the fetal sheep heart has no effect on cardiomyocyte size or maturational state, it stimulates entry of cardiomyocytes in the cell cycle. Thus, increases in fetal heart mass associated with subpressor doses of cortisol are due to cardiomyocyte proliferation and not hypertrophic growth.

Abstract
3506 Background: This multicenter, randomized study assessed efficacy & safety for 3 irinotecan/fluoropyrimidines combinations in previously untreated mCRC. In a 3 × 2 factorial design, we also assessed whether celecoxib added to chemotherapy (CT) improved CT efficacy and/or reduced toxicity. Methods: Pts were randomized to: FOLFIRI - irinotecan (I) 180 mg/m2, leucovorin (LV) 400 mg/m2, 5-FU bolus 400 mg/m2, & infusional 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours q 2 wks; modified IFL (m-IFL) - I 125 mg/m2, LV 20 mg/m2, & bolus 5-FU 500 mg/m2 wkly × 2, q 3 wks; or CapeIri - I 250 mg/m2 day 1 & capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 po BID × 14 days, q 3 wks. Pts were also randomized to concurrent celecoxib (400 mg po BID) or placebo in a double-blind fashion. Time to progression (TTP) was the primary endpoint. Results: 430 pts were enrolled from 2/03 to 4/04, prior to an amendment that added bevacizumab to CT arms. Baseline characteristics were balanced. TTP for FOLFIRI (median = 8.2 mos) was significantly better than for either m-IFL (6.0 mos; p = 0.01) or CapeIri (5.7 mos; p = 0.01). Overall survival (OS) also favored FOLFIRI (median = 23.1 mos) compared to either m-IFL (17.6 mos; p=0.10) or CapeIri (18.8 mos; p = 0.19). Common grade ≥ 3 toxicities are listed below. CapeIri had the highest rates of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration & hand-foot syndrome, whereas FOLFIRI had lower rates. Among all 430 pts, median TTP did not differ for pts randomized to celecoxib compared to placebo (6.9 vs 6.9 mos; p=0.71). Median OS was also similar for celecoxib vs placebo (19.5 vs 18.8 mos; p=0.63). CT toxicities did not differ for celecoxib vs placebo. Rates for MI/stroke were 1.5% for celecoxib and 1.9% for placebo. Conclusions: First-line FOLFIRI offers a superior TTP when compared to m-IFL or CapeIri; OS & toxicity analyses also favored FOLFIRI. Celecoxib neither improved CT efficacy nor reduced CT toxicity. Updated survival data & data on pts enrolled after the addition of bevacuzimab will be presented. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]
