Abstract
Recently, growing evidences that extracellular heat shock protein (HSP) functions as endogenous immunomodulator for innate and adaptive immune responses have been demonstrated. Because HSPs inherently act as chaperones within the cells, passive release such as cell necrosis and active release including secretion in the form of exosome have been suggested for HSP release into extracellular milieu. Such extracellular HSPs have been shown to be activators for innate immune responses through Toll-like receptors (TLRs). However, it has also been suggested that HSPs augmented the ability of associated innate ligands such as LPS to stimulate cytokine production and dendritic cell (DC) maturation. More interestingly, recent study demonstrated that innate immune responses elicited by both endogenous and exogenous danger signals were spatially and temporally regulated and this can be manipulated using Hsp90 or oxygen-regulated protein 150 (ORP150), thereby controlling the immune responses. We will discuss how spatiotemporal regulation of HSP-chaperoned molecules within antigen-presenting cells affects the antigen cross-presentation and innate immune responses. Precise analysis of HSP biology can lead us to establish outstanding HSPbased immunotherapy.

Br J Cancer 2013; 109:379-86.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple early gastric cancers (EGCs) may develop in 6-14% of patients even after achieving curative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD); however, a useful biomarker for predicting recurrence is not available. The present study investigated whether the expression of CD44 variant 9 (CD44v9), a functional cancer stem cell marker, in the primary gastric cancer tissue represents an indicator of recurrence. METHODS Eighty-eight patients who underwent ESD for EGC from 2008 to 2010 were enrolled and monitored for recurrence for 3 years. The expression levels of CD44v9 in the tissue of initial EGCs were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and the recurrence rate was compared between CD44v9-positive and CD44v9-negative groups. The mucin phenotype and expression of microRNA-21 (miR-21) and programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) were also analysed. RESULTS The recurrence rate of EGC was significantly higher in the CD44v9-positive group than in the CD44v9-negative group (hazard ratio (HR), 21.8; 95% confidence interval (CI), 5.71-83.1). However, mucin phenotypes and the expression of miR-21 and PDCD4 did not predict recurrence after ESD. Meanwhile, grade of gastric atrophy was also identified as a significant marker of multiple recurrence (HR, 4.95; 95% CI, 1.30-18.8). CONCLUSION CD44 variant 9 expression represents a potential predictive marker for recurrence in EGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rate of lung cancer metastasis to the bone is high and skeletal-related events (SREs) decrease the quality of life in many patients. Recently, it was found that a subgroup of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have specific mutations in the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) gene. We assessed the SREs in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients that evaluated EGFR mutations in whom bone metastasis was present. METHODS We retrospectively investigated the clinical records of 377 patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients were evaluated for the presence of EGFR mutations, bone metastases, the incidence of SREs, and treatment history before the first SRE. RESULTS A total of 78 patients who were evaluated for EGFR mutations had bone metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma. The most frequent site of bone metastasis was the spine (36.2%). SREs occurred in 37 patients (47.4%), the most common of which was bone radiotherapy (41.0%). Significant differences were not observed in the sites of bone metastases or the patterns of SREs between patients with and without EGFR mutations. The median time from bone metastasis to the first SRE was 5.8 months in all of the subjects, history of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment was significantly associated with longer median time to first SRE (14.2 months vs 1.3 months, p < 0.0001), and the median time to first SRE of patients with PS 0-1 was longer (8.5 months vs 0.9 months, p = 0.0023). CONCLUSIONS We found that SRE patterns have no difference between EGFR mutation positive and negative, and that the time from bone metastasis to the first SRE was longer in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with good PS and history of EGFR-TKI treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are routinely used to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activated EGFR mutations, and are associated with excellent response and improvement of performance status. Adipose tissue produces and releases substances called adipokines, which include adiponectin, leptin, resistin, and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), etc. Previously, we reported that high levels of plasma HGF at diagnosis indicated intrinsic resistance to EGFR-TKIs. EGFR-TKIs have been hypothesized to affect these adipokines. METHODS This prospective study, to evaluate the correlation between plasma adiponectin and insulin levels and non-hematological adverse effects in advanced NSCLC following EGFR-TKIs administration, was conducted at the Osaka City University Hospital. Plasma adiponectin and insulin levels were determined at diagnosis and on treatment day 30. RESULTS Overall 33 patients were enrolled. We obtained plasma samples for analyses from all patients at diagnosis and from 26 patients on day 30. Increased adiponectin (13.69 to 14.42 microg/mL, p = 0.0092), and decreased insulin (404.0 to 351.2 pg/mL, p = 0.022) were observed after EGFR-TKI treatments. High levels of adiponectin at diagnosis were associated with severities of skin rash (p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS The adiponectin was affected by EGFR-TKI treatments for NSCLC. Besides, the adverse events by EGFR-TKIs were influenced by the plasma adipokines at diagnosis. Our study may provide useful information regarding patient outcomes to EGFR-TKI treatments. A prospective large clinical trial is warranted to clarify these results.

Abstract
7564 Background: To determine a recommended dose (RD) of chemoradiotherapy with use of involved-field conformal radiotherapy and accelerated hyperfractionation (AHF) for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Eligible patients had unresectable stage III NSCLC, age of less than 75 years, PS: 0 or 1, V20 of 35% or less. PET was used for staging. Cisplatin (80mg/m2) was administered on day 1 and vinorelbine (20mg/m2) was administered on days 1 and 8 for two cycle. Twice-daily radiation therapy (1.5 Gy per fraction) without elective nodal irradiation started on day 1. Total doses were 60Gy in 40 fractions and 66Gy in 44 fractions at levels 1 and 2 respectively. After concurrent chemoradiotherapy, consolidation chemotherapy regimen was cisplatin (80mg/m2) on day 1 and vinorelbine (20mg/m2) on days 1 and 8 every 4 week for three cycles. The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as grade ≥ 3 esophagitis, grade 3 neutropenic fever, grade ≥ 3 other non-hematologic toxicities and interruption of irradiation for more than 2 weeks. DLT was monitored for 90 days. Results: A total of 12 patients were enrolled (6 patients in Level 1, 6 patients in Levels 2). DLTs were noted in 2 patients at Level 1, which were grade 3 esophagitis and grade 3 febrile neutropenia. Radiation dose was escalated up to 66 Gy in 44 fractions (Level 2), and there was no DLT. In principle, Sixty-six Gy in 44 fractions (Level 2) should be the RD. Major toxicities were leucopenia, neutropenia, and anemia. The response rate, the median progression free survival time, and the median overall survival time was 83.3%, 10.4 months, and 36.3 months for all patients, respectively. Conclusions: The RD was 66 Gy in 44 fractions (Level 2). The toxicity of this chemoradiothrapy regimen was manageable and efficacy is promising. The efficacy and safety of this regimen should be confirmed in a phase II study. Clinical trial information: UMIN000003769.

Abstract
e18530 Background: CDPD and lung cancer sometimes occurs simultaneously. COPD has been recognized as an inflammatory disease and may potentially affect biology of the accompanying tumor. It is not fully understood whether presence of CDPD influences clinical characteristics, pathological findings and/or clinical outcomes in patients with ESNSCLC. Methods: Retrospective and consecutive data were collected from the medical records of patients who underwent surgical resections at Kinki-chuo Chest Medical Center, Japan, between January 2009 and December 2010. CDPD status was classified as absence of COPD, stage I and II COPD based on the criteria of Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). Histology, vascular / lymphatic invasion and the status of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were determined using the surgical materials. Results: A total of 319 cases was included with median age of 67 (range, 36 - 89). There were 81 cases of relapse and 40 cases of death during the median follow up of 28 months (11 days to 49 months). In the subgroup of non-COPD, stage I and II COPD, the median age, the number of case in gender (male/female), performance status (PS, 0/1), histology (squamous cell carcinoma [SQ] /non SQ), smoking status (never/ever), and EGFR status (wild type/mutant) were 67, 72, 72 (p<0.001) and 105/110, 48/12, 38/6 (p<0.001) and 170/40, 53/7, 27/14 (p=0.029) and 31/184, 12/48, 14/28 (p<0.001) and 89/122, 7/53, 2/39 (p=0.002) and 47/37, 21/3, 9/3 (p=0.013), respectively. No significant difference was observed in disease-free survival (DFS, log-rank p=0.411) and overall survival (OS, log-rank p=0.127) between the patients with and without COPD. In multivariate analysis adjusted for age, gender, PS, histology, smoking status, pathological stage, vascular / lymphatic invasion and EGFR status, presence of COPD did not affect DFS (HR=1.457, p = 0.279) nor OS (HR=0.993, p = 0.990).Conclusions: Although COPD was significantly associated with the elderly, male gender, presence of symptoms, SQ histology, ever smoking, and wild type EGFR, it did not add values of prognostic factors in patients with ESNSCLC.

Abstract
Background Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), routinely used to treat advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activated EGFR mutations, are associated with excellent response and improved performance status. Recently, pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-8 have been proposed as mediators of cancer development. EGFR-TKIs have been found to affect this network of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Methods EGFR-TKIs (erlotinib, 150 mg/day; and gefitinib, 250 mg/day) were administered once per day. Treatment was continued until disease progressed or the patient developed intolerable symptoms of toxicity, or withdrew his/her consent for study participation. The treatment was a part of standard care. We investigated the correlation between plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines (including plasma RANTES, IL-10, and IL-8) levels and clinical outcomes following EGFR-TKI treatment in lung cancer patients. Pro-inflammatory cytokine levels were evaluated at diagnosis and on treatment day 30 after the first administration of EGFR-TKIs. Results Overall, 33 patients were enrolled. Plasma pro-inflammatory cytokine levels were determined for all patients at diagnosis. Plasma samples from 26 patients were obtained on treatment day 30. High level of RANTES at diagnosis was associated with severe general fatigue (P = .026). Low level of RANTES at diagnosis was significantly associated with long-term survival (P = .0032). Percent decrease change of IL-10 was associated with severity of rash (P = .037). The plasma IL-8 level on treatment day 30 (median, 5.48 pg/mL; range, 0.49–26.13 pg/mL) was significantly lower than the level at diagnosis (median 10.45 pg/mL; 3.04–54.86 pg/mL; P = .021). Conclusions These results suggest that EGFR-TKIs may suppress systemic inflammation and promote tumor shrinkage. The network of pro-inflammatory cytokines was affected by EGFR-TKI treatment for NSCLC. In addition, the clinical outcomes of EGFR-TKI treatment were influenced by the status of the plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines at diagnosis.

Abstract
Background: Amrubicin hydrochloride (AMR) is a key agent for lung cancer. NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) metabolizes the quinone structures contained in both amrubicin (AMR) and amrubicinol (AMR-OH). We hypothesized that NQO1 C609T polymorphism may affect AMR-related pharmacokinetics and clinical outcomes. Methods: Patients received AMR doses of 30 or 40 mg/m2/day on days 1–3. Plasma sampling was performed 24 hours after the first and third AMR injections. Concentrations of AMR and AMR-OH were determined by HPLC and the NQO1 C609T polymorphism was assayed by RT-PCR. Results: A total of 35 patients were enrolled. At a dose of 40 mg/m2, the T/T genotype exhibited a tendency toward a relationship with decrease concentrations of AMR-OH on days 2 and 4. The genotype also showed a significant decrease of hematological toxicities (P < 0.05). Conclusions: NQO1 C609T polymorphism had a tendency of correlation with the plasma concentrations of AMR-OH, and thereby had significant correlations with hematologic toxicities.

Abstract
Background Rash, liver dysfunction, and diarrhea are known major adverse events associated with erlotinib and gefitinib. However, clinical trials with gefitinib have reported different proportions of adverse events compared to trials with erlotinib. In an in vitro study, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 was shown to be involved in the metabolism of gefitinib but not erlotinib. It has been hypothesized that CYP2D6 phenotypes may be implicated in different adverse events associated with gefitinib and erlotinib therapies. Methods The frequency of each adverse event was evaluated during the period in which the patients received gefitinib or erlotinib therapy. CYP2D6 phenotypes were determined by analysis of CYP2D6 genotypes using real-time polymerase chain reaction techniques, which can detect single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The CYP2D6 phenotypes were categorized into 2 groups according to functional or reduced metabolic levels. In addition, we evaluated the odds ratio (OR) of the adverse events associated with each factor, including CYP2D6 activities and treatment types. Results A total of 232 patients received gefitinib therapy, and 86 received erlotinib therapy. Reduced function of CYP2D6 was associated with an increased risk of rash of grade 2 or more (OR, 0.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.21–0.94; *p = 0.03), but not diarrhea ≥ grade 2 (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.17–1.51; *p = 0.20) or liver dysfunction ≥ grade 2 (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.52–2.34; *p = 0.84) in the gefitinib cohort. No associations were observed between any adverse events in the erlotinib cohort and CYP2D6 phenotypes (rash: OR, 1.77; 95% CI, 0.54–6.41; *p = 0.35/diarrhea: OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.21–7.43; *p = 0.93/liver dysfunction: OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.20–5.07; *p = 0.93). Conclusions The frequency of rash was significantly higher in patients with reduced CYP2D6 activity who treated with gefitinib compared to patients with functional CYP2D6. CYP2D6 phenotypes are a risk factor for the development of rash in response to gefitinib therapy.

Abstract
In order to investigate the relation between the occurrence of colorectal cancer and food consumption in Hokkaido, Japan, etiological factors of colorectal cancer were investigated through an ecologic study using official food consumption and mortality statistics concerning colorectal cancer, and through a community-based case-control study. The ratio of 'animal foods' to 'plant foods' and that of 'animal protein' to 'plant protein' had a significant correlation with the mortality rate in colorectal cancer. The percentage of fat energy was much more contributory than the absolute amount of fat. Traditional Japanese foods tended to prevent while Western foods tended to promote colorectal cancer. Odds ratios for Japanese foods were low for colon cancer, and those for Western foods were high for rectum cancer. Relative amounts of foods are more contributory than their absolute amounts. An increase of colorectal cancer in Japanese people may be attributable to the increase in the relative amounts of Western foods. Reduction of the ratio of animal foods to plant foods (i.e., a reduction in relative amounts of Western foods or an increase in relative amounts of Japanese foods) may lend to the prevention of colorectal cancer.

Pulm Pharmacol Ther 2012; 25:478-82. [PMID: 22982562 DOI: 10.1016/j.pupt.2012.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2012] [Revised: 09/03/2012] [Accepted: 09/05/2012] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, increased levels of pentosidine, an intermolecular cross-linking type of advanced glycation end products, are observed in the airways of asthmatic patients. This study was designed to determine whether differences in bronchodilator response among individuals with asthma are attributable to pentosidine levels in their airways. METHODS Fifty-six asthmatic patients (21 with airway obstruction, 35 without airway obstruction) and 10 normal controls were included in this study. For asthmatic patients, we evaluated the spontaneous reversibility of airway obstruction or the reversibility that can be obtained after methacholine provocation. And we also measured pentosidine levels and percentage of sputum eosinophils in induced sputum, and exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels. RESULTS The pentosidine levels did not significantly differ between the two asthmatic subgroups with and without airway obstruction. In asthmatic patients without airway obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine (PC20 methacholine) was significantly correlated with sputum eosinophils and exhaled NO levels. In contrast, PC20 methacholine was not significantly correlated with pentosidine levels. In asthmatic patients with or without airway obstruction, bronchodilator response was not significantly correlated with sputum eosinophils and exhaled NO levels. However, bronchodilator response was closely correlated with pentosidine levels (asthmatics without airway obstruction: r = -0.54, p = 0.002; asthmatics with airway obstruction: r = -0.48, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that pentosidine might be a potential biomarker reflecting the reduced bronchodilator response in asthma. This study will provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying persistent airway obstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is defined as a symptom complex comprising urgency, with or without urge incontinence, and usually frequency and nocturia. The association between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and bladder symptoms has been reported. This study is designed to investigate whether functional dyspepsia (FD), like IBS, is associated with OAB. METHODS A web surveys containing questions about OAB, FD, IBS, and demographics were completed by 5494 public individuals (2302 men and 3192 women) who have no history of severe illness. The prevalence and overlap of OAB, FD, and IBS were examined. KEY RESULTS Among participants with FD, 20.5% could also be diagnosed with OAB (odds ratio [OR]: 2.85; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.21-3.67). Although concomitant FD and IBS were more strongly associated with OAB (OR: 4.34; 95% CI: 2.81-6.73), OAB was also highly prevalent among participants with FD but without IBS (OR: 3.09; 95% CI: 2.29-4.18). Among participants with FD, an overlapping OAB condition was more prevalent in those with both postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) (OR: 3.75; 95% CI: 2.48-5.67) than in those with PDS or EPS alone. Among participants with OAB, the severity of bladder symptoms was greater in participants with dyspeptic symptoms than without them. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Overactive bladder syndrome is common among FD patients, even if they do not have IBS. To improve FD patients' quality of life, it will be important to provide management for OAB.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for monitoring the antifungal drug fluconazole in human serum was developed using a C18 reversed-phase column with isocratic elution. The method involved sample clean-up by solid-phase column extraction, and subsequent analysis required only 14 min per sample for separation and quantitation. The assay was precise, with intra- and inter-assay relative standard deviations of < or = 1.5% and < or = 3.1%. The minimum detectable concentration of fluconazole was 0.3 nmol/ml. This assay has the advantage of minimizing the risk of interference from co-administered drugs to critically ill patients undergoing hemodiafiltration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rash, liver dysfunction, and diarrhea are known as adverse events of erlotinib and gefitinib. However, clinical trials with gefitinib have reported different adverse events compared to those with erlotinib. In an in vitro study, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 was shown to be involved in the metabolism of gefitinib and not of erlotinib. It has been hypothesized that gefitinib therapy results in different adverse events compared to erlotinib therapy. METHODS The frequency of each adverse event was evaluated in a case-control study on Japanese patients who were treated with gefitinib or erlotinib. The CYP2D6 phenotype was categorized into 2 groups according to functional or reduced metabolic levels. In addition, we evaluated the odds ratio (OR) of adverse events with each factor, including CYP2D6 activities as well as treatment types. RESULTS A total of 112 patients received gefitinib therapy, 74 patients received erlotinib therapy, and 17 patients received erlotinib and gefitinib sequentially. The OR of developing rash with gefitinib versus erlotinib treatment was 0.38 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.15-0.86). The OR of developing diarrhea with gefitinib versus erlotinib treatment was 0.46 (95% CI, 0.22-0.94). The OR of developing liver dysfunction with gefitinib versus erlotinib treatment was 3.30 (95% CI, 1.59-7.22). Reduced function of CYP2D6 was not associated with an increased risk of any adverse events in both gefitinib and erlotinib cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Erlotinib had higher rate of rash and diarrhea than gefitinib. Liver dysfunction occurred significantly more often in the gefitinib group than in the erlotinib group.

Abstract
A 53-year-old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of disturbance of consciousness and hallucinations. About one year and 5 months ago she had adenocarcinoma of the lung, which was treated with surgery and chemotherapy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that her lung cancer had relapsed as caricinomatous meningitis and multiple lung metastases. She was treated with erlotinib, which rapidly resulted in disappearance of her symptoms. She still continues to receive erlotinib therapy without suffering from evident relapse 7 months after the initiation of the treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been known that high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory disorders in the lung. We attempted to determine the validity of measurement of HMGB1 levels in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured HMGB1 levels in ELF separately obtained from central or peripheral airways using a bronchoscopic microsampling technique in 14 non-smokers, 13 smokers without COPD and 30 smokers with COPD. We also evaluated whether those levels were correlated with the indexes of pulmonary function and grade of low-attenuation area (LAA) on high-resolution computed tomographic scans. RESULTS HMGB1 levels in ELF from central airways did not significantly differ among the three groups. However, HMGB1 levels in peripheral airways were significantly higher in COPD patients than in non-smokers and smokers without COPD. Both the concentrations of interleukin-8 and human polymorphonuclear elastase in peripheral airways were also significantly higher in COPD patients. Moreover, those levels were significantly correlated with HMGB1 level. In addition, HMGB1 level in peripheral airways was closely correlated with the degree of airflow obstruction and grade of LAA in COPD patients. CONCLUSIONS HMGB1 levels in peripheral airways were elevated in smokers without COPD, as compared with non-smokers, and those levels were further augmented in COPD patients. Those levels were associated with the severity of COPD. Therefore, HMGB1 in peripheral airways may be a potentially interesting target for new pharmacological treatments in COPD patients.

Abstract
Ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE) is a motor fuel oxygenate used in reformulated gasoline. The current use of ETBE in gasoline or petrol is modest but increasing. To investigate the effects of ETBE on splenocytes, mice were exposed to 0 (control), 500 ppm, 1750 ppm, or 5000 ppm of ETBE by inhalation for 6 h/day for 5 days/wk over a 6- or 13-week period. Splenocytes were harvested from the control and exposed mice, and the following cell phenotypes were quantified by flow cytometry: (1) B cells (PerCP-Cy5.5-CD45R/B220), (2) T cells (PerCP-Cy5-CD3e), (3) T cell subsets (FITC-CD4 and PE-CD8a), (4) natural killer (NK) cells (PE-NK1.1), and (5) macrophages (FITC-CD11b). Body weight and the weight of the spleen were also examined. ETBE-exposure did not affect the weight of the spleen or body weight, while it transiently increased the number of RBC and the Hb concentration. The numbers of splenic CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells, the percentage of CD4+ T cells and the CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio in the ETBE-exposed groups were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner. However, ETBE exposure did not affect the numbers of splenic NK cells, B cells, or macrophages or the total number of splenocytes. The above findings indicate that ETBE selectively affects the number of splenic T cells in mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma has several phenotypical features, including recurrent exacerbations and recurrent episodes of upper respiratory infection (URI). PURPOSE A retrospective study was performed to identify the characteristics of adult patients with recurrent exacerbations of asthma, especially in association with recurrent episodes of URI. METHODS Information was collected using a self-administered questionnaire given to 7070 patients in autumn-winter 2006, 4859 patients in spring-summer 2007, and 4452 patients in autumn-winter 2007. The patients reported the degree of symptoms and the frequency of febrile episodes of URI and exacerbations. Severe exacerbations were defined as a self-report of asthma-related hospitalization, an emergency department visit, or a requirement for systemic corticosteroids. Recurrent febrile URI and exacerbations were defined as two or more episodes within the previous 6 months. A Poisson regression model was used to identify the factors that were predictors of a risk for exacerbations. RESULTS Of the 6266 patients who completed the questionnaire, the frequencies of febrile URI and episodes of severe exacerbations were 1.54 and 0.54 per subject per year, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that an older age [odds ratio (OR): 1.57; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15-2.13], female sex (OR: 1.58; 95% CI: 1.20-2.08), recurrent febrile episodes of URI (OR: 2.68; 95% CI: 1.47-4.91), a history of previous exacerbation within 1 year (OR: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.28-2.34), disuse of inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) (OR: 2.63; 95% CI: 1.68-4.12), and disuse of add-on leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) (OR: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.06-1.74) were independently associated with moderate to severe symptom-severity. Poisson regression analysis showed that the independent factors that contributed to the frequency of recurrent severe exacerbations were female sex (regression coefficient β = 0.62, p < .01), an episode of sputum with coughing (β = 1.23, p < .01), nocturnal awakening (β = 1.22, p < .01), and severe exacerbation (β = 0.78, p < .01) within the previous 6 months. CONCLUSION Symptom-severity of asthma and the frequency of severe exacerbations were associated with previous exacerbations and susceptibility to URI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (F(E) NO) is considered a potentially useful biomarker for airway inflammation. A two-compartment model (2CM) of pulmonary NO dynamics has been used for the evaluation of bronchial NO flux (J'awNO) and alveolar NO concentration (C(A) NO) in asthmatic patients. Recently, the trumpet shape of the airway tree and axial diffusion (TMAD) model has been reported as a modification of the 2CM. This study was designed to determine the validity of C(A) NO measurement using the TMAD model for assessing small airways inflammation in asthma. METHODS A total of 52 asthmatic patients and 12 normal control subjects were included in the study. Methacholine inhalation challenge and pulmonary function tests, sputum induction, and exhaled NO measurements at several flow rates were performed. J'awNO and C(A) NO were calculated using both the 2CM (C(A) NO( 2CM) , J'awNO( 2CM) ) and TMAD models (C(A) NO( TMAD) , J'awNO( TMAD) ). RESULTS Both J'awNO (J'awNO( 2CM) and J'awNO( TMAD) ) and C(A) NO (C(A) NO( 2CM) and C(A) NO( TMAD) ) were significantly higher in asthmatic patients than in control subjects. C(A) NO( 2CM) was significantly correlated with FEV(1) /FVC (r = -0.35, P = 0.01), FEF(25-75) (r = -0.45, P < 0.001) and sputum eosinophils (r = 0.32, P = 0.02). In contrast, C(A) NO( TMAD) was significantly correlated with FEF(25-75) (r = -0.42, P = 0.002) but not with FEV(1) /FVC or sputum eosinophils. CONCLUSIONS C(A) NO( TMAD) is more specific as an indicator of small airways obstruction than C(A) NO( 2CM) . Assessment of small airways obstruction using the TMAD model may clarify the role of the small airways in the pathogenesis of asthma.

Abstract
Background NVA237 is a once-daily dry-powder formulation of the long-acting muscarinic antagonist glycopyrronium bromide in development for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The glycopyrronium bromide in COPD airways clinical study 1 (GLOW1) evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NVA237 in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. Methods Patients with COPD with a smoking history of ≥ 10 pack-years, post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 80% and ≥ 30% predicted normal and FEV1/forced vital capacity < 0.70 were enrolled. Patients were randomized to double-blind treatment with NVA237 50 μg once daily or placebo for 26 weeks with inhaled/intranasal corticosteroids or H1 antagonists permitted in patients stabilized on them prior to study entry. The primary outcome measure was trough FEV1 at Week 12. Results A total of 822 patients were randomized to NVA237 (n = 552) or placebo (n = 270). Least squares mean (± standard error) trough FEV1 at Week 12 was significantly higher in patients receiving NVA237 (1.408 ± 0.0105 L), versus placebo (1.301 ± 0.0137 L; treatment difference 108 ± 14.8 mL, p < 0.001). Significant improvements in trough FEV1 were apparent at the end of Day 1 and sustained through Week 26. FEV1 was significantly improved in the NVA237 group versus placebo throughout the 24-hour periods on Day 1 and at Weeks 12 and 26, and at all other visits and timepoints. Transition dyspnoea index focal scores and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire scores were significantly improved with NVA237 versus placebo at Week 26, with treatment differences of 1.04 (p < 0.001) and-2.81 (p = 0.004), respectively. NVA237 significantly reduced the risk of first moderate/severe COPD exacerbation by 31% (p = 0.023) and use of rescue medication by 0.46 puffs per day (p = 0.005), versus placebo. NVA237 was well tolerated and had an acceptable safety profile, with a low frequency of cardiac and typical antimuscarinic adverse effects. Conclusions Once-daily NVA237 was safe and well tolerated and provided rapid, sustained improvements in lung function, improvements in dyspnoea, and health-related quality of life, and reduced the risk of exacerbations and the use of rescue medication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amrubicin (AMR) is an active agent for relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the activity of AMR in refractory relapsed patients is controversial. The objective of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMR as second-line chemotherapy in SCLC, especially refractory relapsed SCLC. METHODS Between July 2003 and February 2009, a total of 27 patients were treated with AMR at a dosage of 40 mg x m(-2) x day(-1) on days 1-3 every 3 weeks. Safety was assessable for all patients. Efficacy was evaluated in 26 patients (one patient was not assessable for response), in 12 patients with chemotherapy-sensitive relapse and 14 patients with chemotherapy-refractory relapse. Sensitive relapse means that a first-line response lasted more than 90 days. Refractory relapse means that either did not respond to first-line chemotherapy or responded initially but relapsed within 90 days. RESULTS Thirteen patients (50%, 95% CI, 31% to 69%) had partial response, including 6 (50%) of the 12 patients with chemotherapy-sensitive relapse and 7 (50%) of 14 patients with chemotherapy-refractory relapse. Median survival times of patients with chemotherapy-sensitive and -refractory relapse were 9.7 months and 8.4 months, respectively, showing significant difference (p = 0.0337). Adverse events were observed in all 27 patients. Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia was seen in 8 patients (29.6%) and 15 patients (55.5%), respectively. Grade 3 and 4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 10 patients (37.0%) and 2 patients (7.4%). Non-hematologic toxicities were generally mild, except for febrile neutropenia. Febrile neutropenia was seen in 6 patients (22.2%). No treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSIONS AMR is an active agent for the treatment of relapsed SCLC, especially chemotherapy-refractory relapse SCLC, with predictable and manageable toxicities.
