Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy affecting children and a major cause of mortality from hematopoietic malignancies in adults. A substantial number of patients become drug resistant during chemotherapy, necessitating the development of alternative modes of treatment. rGel (recombinant Gelonin)/BlyS (B-lymphocyte stimulator) is a toxin-cytokine fusion protein used for selective killing of malignant B-cells expressing receptors for B-cell-activating factor (BAFF/BLyS) by receptor-targeted delivery of the toxin, Gelonin. Here, we demonstrate that rGel/BLyS binds to ALL cells expressing BAFF receptor (BAFF-R) and upon internalization, it induces apoptosis of these cells and causes downregulation of survival genes even in the presence of stromal protection. Using an immunodeficient transplant model for human ALL, we show that rGel/BLyS prolongs survival of both Philadelphia chromosome-positive and negative ALL-bearing mice. Furthermore, we used AMD3100, a CXCR4 antagonist, to mobilize the leukemic cells protected in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment and the combination with rGel/BLyS resulted in a significant reduction of the tumor load in the BM and complete eradication of ALL cells from the circulation. Thus, a combination treatment with the B-cell-specific fusion toxin rGel/BLyS and the mobilizing agent AMD3100 could be an effective alternative approach to chemotherapy for the treatment of primary and relapsed ALL.

Abstract
In the 1980s the outcome of patients with herpes simplex encephalitis was shown to be dramatically improved with aciclovir treatment. Delays in starting treatment, particularly beyond 48 h after hospital admission, are associated with a worse prognosis. Several comprehensive reviews of the investigation and management of encephalitis have been published. However, their impact on day-to-day clinical practice appears to be limited. The emergency management of meningitis in children and adults was revolutionised by the introduction of a simple algorithm as part of management guidelines. In February 2008 a group of clinicians met in Liverpool to begin the development process for clinical care guidelines based around a similar simple algorithm, supported by an evidence base, whose implementation is hoped would improve the management of patients with suspected encephalitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Injectable bulking agents have been used with varying success for the treatment of faecal incontinence. This systematic review aimed to investigate the various injectable agents and techniques used for the treatment of faecal incontinence, and to assess their safety and efficacy. METHODS Thirty-nine publications were identified and studied. The following variables were pooled for univariable analysis: type, location, route of bulking agents, and the use of ultrasound guidance, antibiotics, laxatives and anaesthetics. Predictors of the development of complications and successful outcomes were identified by multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 1070 patients were included in the analysis. On multivariable analysis, the only significant predictor of the development of complications was the route of injection of bulking agents (odds ratio 3·40, 95 per cent confidence interval 1·62 to 7·12; P = 0·001). Two variables were significant predictors of a successful short-term outcome: the use of either PTQ(®) (OR 5·93, 2·21 to 16·12; P = 0·001) or Coaptite(®) (OR 10·74, 1·73 to 65·31; P = 0·001) was associated with a greater likelihood of success. Conversely, the use of local anaesthetic was associated with a lower likelihood of success (OR 0·18, 0·05 to 0·59; P = 0·005). Failure to use laxatives in the postoperative period resulted in a poorer medium- to longer-term outcome (OR 0·13, 0·06 to 0·25; P = 0·001). CONCLUSION This systematic review has identified variations in the practice of injection of bulking agents that appear to influence the likelihood of complications and affect the outcomes after treatment.

Abstract
AbstractVinyl-MCM-41 has been synthesized by a direct synthesis from the corresponding organosiloxane precursors. The location of vinyl groups on the internal channel surfaces of the mesoporous silicate sieves was confirmed by small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments using contrast matching techniques. To investigate further modification of the vinyl groups, bromination reactions were carried out on vinyl-MCM-41 samples in dichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, and in a gas-phase reaction. With dichloromethane as a solvent, the bromination rate increased with increasing pore diameter. A strong dependence of the reaction rate on the presence and type of solvent molecules was observed. While gas-phase bromination was complete within 40 minutes, the reaction required several days for completion in dichloromethane and was even slower in the nonpolar solvent, carbon tetrachloride.

Abstract
AIM Therapeutic angiography with embolization is fast becoming the preferred treatment modality for major bleeding in the lower gastrointestinal (LGI) tract. The aim of this study was to determine the long term outcome and complications of percutaneous coil embolization (PCE) and its efficacy as definitive therapy in patients with major LGI bleeding. METHODS All patients presenting to our institution with a haemodynamically significant LGI tract bleed between 1995 and 2001 that were unresponsive to conservative measures were considered for emergency angiography and coil embolization where appropriate. The outcome of these individuals was determined by case note review and telephone interview. RESULTS There were 20 patients (11 females) with a mean follow-up period 72 months, mean age was 67 years. All underwent PCE following positive angiogram. The most common site of bleeding was the right colon (40%); haemostasis was successfully achieved in 16 (80%) patients. Five of the 20 patients died within 30 days of the intervention, three following PCE and two following surgery. None of the mortality following PCE was considered procedure related. On long term follow-up four patients required readmission to hospital for further LGI bleeds at 1, 2, 12 and 16 months respectively. Ischaemic complications occurred in 23%. CONCLUSION Superselective embolization as the primary technique for the treatment of haemodynamically significant LGI bleeding is an effective, feasible and safe technique. Long term follow-up in our series up to 72 months has shown that it should be considered as both a primary and potentially definitive treatment for life threatening LGI bleeds.

Abstract
Using multiplexed Q-replica exchange molecular dynamics simulation (mQ-REMD) with a modified all-atom force field (param99MOD5/GBSA), direct folding simulation at the all-atom level was performed to investigate the folding free energy landscapes of the FBP28 WW domain: a 37-residue three-stranded beta-sheet. Starting from a fully extended conformation of the FBP28 WW domain, a total of 400 ns simulation was run for each replica with this simulation protocol. Free energy analysis showed that the folding of this protein substantially proceeded through the formation of folded turn 1, followed by the partial or misfolded formation of turn 2. More importantly, the folding process of turn 2 exhibited complicated folding behaviors in the presence of several intermediate states along multiple folding routes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Australian guidelines recommend annual testing for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for all men who have sex with men (MSM) and 3-6 monthly testing for those at higher risk as defined by behavioural criteria. We assessed HIV/STI re-testing rates among MSM attending primary care clinics. METHODS We conducted a retrospective follow-up of HIV negative MSM tested for HIV or STIs (chlamydia or syphilis) at four primary care clinics in the 9-month period: April to December 2006. Re-testing rates for these infections were calculated over 18 months. Logistic regression was undertaken to identify predictors of guideline adherence. RESULTS Of the MSM requiring annual HIV testing according to the guidelines, the re-testing rates at 1 y were 35% (762/2163). Among the higher risk MSM, 6-monthly HIV re-testing rates were 15% (283/1862). Within the subgroup who reported 11 or more male sexual partners within the past 6 months, HIV re-testing rates within 6 months were 19%. Independent predictors of HIV re-testing within 6 months in higher-risk MSM were reporting 11 or more male sexual partners in the last 6 months (AOR 3.1, 95% CI 1.8 to 4.8); being born overseas (AOR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2 to 3.4); and previous HIV testing more than 12 months earlier (AOR 3.3, 95% CI 1.9 to 5.5). CONCLUSION There is poor adherence to national guidelines that recommend regular re-testing of MSM for STIs, particularly among those at higher risk who require more frequent testing. Clinical strategies are urgently needed to encourage more frequent HIV/STI testing among MSM, especially in the higher risk subgroup.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The supraorbital craniotomy was initially described as a minimally invasive means to target extra-axial lesions in the anterior cranial fossa and sellar/parasellar region. Since its initial description, various modifications have been described. We report our recent experience with this approach (and its modifications) for not only extra-axial but also intra-axial neoplastic pathology. METHODS Based on patient pathology and anatomic considerations, one of two approaches was performed: supraorbital craniotomy through an eyebrow incision or a combined orbital osteotomy and supraorbital craniotomy through an eyelid incision. RESULTS This technique was performed on twenty-eight consecutive patients. Intra-axial pathology ranged from anaplastic astrocytoma to metastasis while extra-axial lesions included meningiomas and skull-based metastases. Excellent lesion resection was achieved in the majority of patients. Complications were infection (2 patients) and CSF leak. DISCUSSION The supraorbital craniotomy and its modifications provide an ideal anterior subfrontal approach through which a wide variety of pathology can be approached. This technique has particular considerations in comparison to traditional cranial base approaches that must be taken into account before it is utilized.

Abstract
We show that the equilibrium unfolding transition of horse carbonmonoxy myoglobin monitored by the stretching vibration of the CO ligand, a local environmental probe, is very sharp and, thus, quite different from those measured by global conformational reporters. In addition, the denatured protein exhibits an A(0)-like CO band. We hypothesize that this sharp transition reports penetration of water into the heme pocket of the protein. Parallel experiments on horse apomyoglobin, wherein an environment-sensitive fluorescent probe, nile red, was used, also reveals a similar putative hydration event. Given the importance of dehydration in protein folding and also the recent debate over the interpretation of probe-dependent unfolding transitions, these results have strong implications on the mechanism of protein folding.

Abstract
e21525 Background: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a relatively rare type of soft tissue sarcoma. Several prognostic factors have been described that modulate patients’ outcome. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors in patients with SS. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical and histopathological data of patients treated at National Oncology Institute (Panama) between 1995 - 2007. Demographic, clinical, pathological, and therapeutic variables were reviewed. Overall survival and recurrence-free survival were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. Results: Twenty seven patients were analyzed, 56% male and 44% female, median age was 28. Tumour site; extremities based 85%, truncal 15%. Median tumour size was 8cm. Presentation; non-metastatic 84%, metastatic 16%. Histological type; monophasic 78%, biphasic 22%. Mitosis/10HPF; twenty and more 33%, less than twenty 67%. Necrosis; absent 63%, less than half 30%, and more than half 7%. Histological grade (FNCLLC); grade 2 48%, grade 3 52%. Surgery; limb sparing surgery 52%, amputation 48%. Treatment: adjuvant treatment 52% (3 chemotherapy only, 7 radiation therapy, 4 both). 90% were doxorubicin based regimens. The median follow up was 25 months. 63% of tumours recurred and 33% of patients died. Univariate analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between histological grade and overall survival (p<0.05). In patients with localized disease, time to recurrence decreased with histological grade (p=0.05 ns). Conclusions: High histological grade is an adverse prognostic factor for overall survival in patients with SS. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
We measured the pH-induced spectral changes of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c on silver nanoparticle surfaces using surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) at 457.9 nm. At a pH of 3, the Met80 ligand in yeast iso-1-cytochrome c is assumed to dissociate, leading to a marked conformational change as evidenced by the vibrational spectral shifts. The Soret band at 410 nm in the UV-Vis spectrum shifted to 396 nm at pH 3, indicating a transition from a low spin state to a high spin state from a weak interaction with a water molecule. Thus, SERRS spectroscopy can measure the pH-induced denaturalization of cyt c adsorbed on metal nanoparticle surfaces at a lower concentration with a better sensitivity than ordinary resonance Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
A novel, up to 128 channels, multi-parametric physiological measurement system suitable for monitoring hematopoietic stem cell culture processes and cell cultures in general is presented in this paper. The system aims to measure in real-time the most important physical and chemical culture parameters of hematopoietic stem cells, including physicochemical parameters, nutrients, and metabolites, in a long-term culture process. The overarching scope of this research effort is to control and optimize the whole bioprocess by means of the acquisition of real-time quantitative physiological information from the culture. The system is designed in a modular manner. Each hardware module can operate as an independent gain programmable, level shift adjustable, 16 channel data acquisition system specific to a sensor type. Up to eight such data acquisition modules can be combined and connected to the host PC to realize the whole system hardware. The control of data acquisition and the subsequent management of data is performed by the system's software which is coded in LabVIEW. Preliminary experimental results presented here show that the system not only has the ability to interface to various types of sensors allowing the monitoring of different types of culture parameters. Moreover, it can capture dynamic variations of culture parameters by means of real-time multi-channel measurements thus providing additional information on both temporal and spatial profiles of these parameters within a bioreactor. The system is by no means constrained in the hematopoietic stem cell culture field only. It is suitable for cell growth monitoring applications in general.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Faecal incontinence is a distressing condition that can result in significant embarrassment and limitation of routine activities. General practitioners (GP) are the primary carers of such patients. There are recent developments in the surgical treatment options for this under-reported condition. Awareness of these changes is required to make the best use of them. To the best knowledge of the authors, no studies have examined the awareness of investigations and treatment options for faecal incontinence amongst GPs. This is the focus of our study. METHOD A confidential questionnaire was posted to GPs in the Yorkshire region. The questionnaire was designed to assess: first, the basic knowledge of GPs with regard to prevalence, investigations and treatment modalities of faecal incontinence and secondly, the patterns of consultations and referrals of patients with faecal incontinence. RESULTS One thousand and one hundred questionnaires were posted. Five hundred and four were returned giving a response rate of 48.5% (n = 504). The prevalence assessed by the GPs is similar to that by population based surveys. Only 32% (n = 162) of GPs were aware of at least one investigation. Similarly only 32% of the GP's were aware of at least one form of surgical treatment. The knowledge of UK centres where these facilities are available was limited (60% not aware). Only one quarter of the GPs referred the patients to the surgical specialties. Surprisingly, there was no significant difference in the level of knowledge of investigation and treatments between the GPs who see patients with faecal incontinence more frequently compared with those who see such patients infrequently (P-values 0.298 and 0.432 respectively). CONCLUSION The level of awareness of investigation modalities and treatment options for faecal incontinence is limited among GPs. Knowledge of the existence of diagnostic tests and surgical treatment options for faecal incontinence and the centres with these facilities is needed for the best utilization of the technical resources and expertise. Further studies are needed to assess the impact of this lack of knowledge on the quality of patient care. Better communication between referral centres and GPs, combined with continuing medical education programmes, may be useful tools to improve appropriate patient management.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Faecal incontinence is a socially disabling condition that affects a heterogeneous population of patients. There is no standardization of investigations, and treatment outcomes are variable. The major limitation for comparing the results from different studies is the lack of a pretreatment classification of incontinence. The aim of this study was to review the anorectal investigation findings and propose a simple, repeatable classification for faecal incontinence.
Methods
Patients who had anorectal investigations for defaecatory disorders from February 2000 to September 2006 were analysed retrospectively. All patients had anorectal manometry, anal mucosal electrosensitivity testing and endoanal ultrasonography.
Results
Of a total of 1294 patients, 135 were excluded, leaving 1159 (460 continent and 699 incontinent) for analysis. The patients were divided into four groups: traumatic incontinence, neuropathic faecal incontinence, combined faecal incontinence and idiopathic faecal incontinence. The manometric variables and demographics were distinct in these groups.
Conclusion
Patients with faecal incontinence can be classified into different groups with distinct pathophysiological variables. Such a classification system will enable comparison and interpretation of the outcomes of different studies and also help in the selection of patients for appropriate treatments.
