Abstract
The first measurement of the charged-particle multiplicity density at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √ S NN = 2.76 TeV is presented. For an event sample corresponding to the most central 5% of the hadronic cross section, the pseudorapidity density of primary charged particles at midrapidity is 1584 ± 4(stat) ± 76(syst), which corresponds to 8.3 ± 0.4(syst) per participating nucleon pair. This represents an increase of about a factor 1.9 relative to pp collisions at similar collision energies, and about a factor 2.2 to central Au-Au collisions at √ S NN = 2.76 TeV. This measurement provides the first experimental constraint for models of nucleus-nucleus collisions at LHC energies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To show the feasibility of the detection of endoleaks following endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms using contrast harmonic imaging (CHI) in comparison to computed tomography angiography (CTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS 51 patients with suspected endoleaks, who underwent previous endovascular treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm, were examined using CTA and vascular ultrasound. Biphasic CTA in all cases and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in 8 patients were evaluated by two radiologists in consensus and served as the standard of reference. Ultrasound was performed by an experienced examiner with a multi-frequency linear transducer (2 - 4 MHz) using CHI following bolus injection of 2.4 ml of SonoVue® IV (maximum 5 ml). All images were evaluated by two observers in consensus regarding the reperfusion of the abdominal aneurysm using time intensity curve (TIC) analysis. RESULTS In 30 of 51 patients, endoleaks were detected concordantly in CHI and CTA. In 20 of 51 patients, no endoleak was found in CHI and CTA/DSA. In one patient, a type II endoleak could initially only be detected in CHI and was later confirmed in follow-up examinations by CTA (sens. 99%, spec. 93%, NPV 99 %, PPV 95%). TIC analysis allowed evaluation of the perfusion dynamics of endoleaks in all patients. Significant differences were found (p < 0.05, Mann Whitney U Test) regarding the perfusion within the aneurysm when an endoleak was present (10.39 ± 4.29 dB) or not present (6.42 ± 2.86 dB). CONCLUSION CHI with perfusion analysis allows definite detection of endoleaks, especially if contraindications for CTA are present. CHI presents an alternative for follow-up monitoring.

Abstract
The ratio of the yields of antiprotons to protons in pp collisions has been measured by the ALICE experiment at sqrt[s]=0.9 and 7 TeV during the initial running periods of the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement covers the transverse momentum interval 0.45<p_{t}<1.05 GeV/c and rapidity |y|<0.5. The ratio is measured to be R_{|y|<0.5}=0.957±0.006(stat)±0.014(syst) at 0.9 TeV and R_{|y|<0.5}=0.991±0.005(stat)±0.014(syst) at 7 TeV and it is independent of both rapidity and transverse momentum. The results are consistent with the conventional model of baryon-number transport and set stringent limits on any additional contributions to baryon-number transfer over very large rapidity intervals in pp collisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We compared the prevalence of adenomatous and cancerous colon polyps in patients who underwent endoscopic removal of gastric neoplasms and in healthy controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 186 patients with gastric neoplasms and 186 healthy subjects from January 2002 to October 2008. The gastric neoplasm group was comprised of patients undergoing endoscopic removal of gastric adenomas or early gastric cancers and serial fiberoptic colonoscopy (FCS) for checkups. The control group was comprised of subjects undergoing fiberoptic esophagogastroduodenoscopy (FEGD) and FCS for general checkup and was matched for age and sex with the gastric neoplasm group. Advanced colonic neoplasm was defined by any of the following: (1) the presence of three or more polyps; (2) polyp size at least 1.0 cm; (3) high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma confirmed by histopathologic examination. RESULTS Of the 372 persons, colorectal polyps were detected in 124 (33.3 %), advanced colonic neoplasms in 44 (11.8 %), and adenocarcinomas in 10 (2.7 %). The overall prevalence of adenomatous or cancerous polyps ("all polyps") and the prevalence of advanced colonic neoplasms were significantly higher in the gastric neoplasm group than in the control group (all polyps: 40.9 % in the gastric neoplasm group vs. 25.8 % in the control group, P = 0.002; advanced colonic neoplasms: 15.6 % vs. 8.1 %, P = 0.025). The risk factors for all polyps were age, male sex, diabetes mellitus, and being assigned to the gastric neoplasm group, and those for advanced colonic neoplasms were age and being assigned to the gastric neoplasm group. Confining the analysis to the gastric neoplasm group, the risk factors for all polyps were identical with those for the total group; however, those for advanced colonic neoplasm were different (age vs. diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia). CONCLUSION Endoscopists should consider performing routine FCS in patients undergoing endoscopic removal of gastric neoplasms.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evaluation of post-surgery tissue perfusion of free flaps of the lower leg with contrast enhanced harmonic imaging (CHI), laser-induced indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS 10 patients with free flaps of the lower limb were evaluated with CHI, ICG-fluorescence angiography and perfusion weighted MRI. Perfusion weighted MRI was performed after intravenous bolus injection of 25 ml Gd-DTPA. The ICG fluorescence was detected by a near-infrared-laser device (lambda em = 780 nm). Ultrasound was carried out by an experienced examiner with a linear probe after intravenous bolus injection of 2.4 ml SonoVue. For MRI time intensity curves as well as color-coded blood volume maps of the whole free flap were qualitatively evaluated. For CHI and ICG time intensity curves in selected regions of interest were analyzed. A score from 1-5 (1 = low, 5 = excellent) was used for analysis of perfusion images by three independent readers. RESULTS In 3 cases (radialis, parascapular and lateral thigh flap) CHI, MRI and ICG perfusion imaging showed an excellent (score 4-5) contrast enhancement of the cutaneous and subcutaneous part of the free flaps. In 2 cases of osteocutaneous flaps perfusion in central and distal parts of the free flaps was reduced (score 2). Correlation between CHI, MRI and ICG was 0.69-0.83 for the distal parts of the free flaps and 0.74-0.87 for the center of the flaps (Spearman test). Perfusion in the center of the free flaps was significantly different for MRI and ICG and also for MRI and CHI (p<0.05, Wilcoxon test). CONCLUSION These first results introduce CHI and MRI perfusion imaging as a promising post-surgery monitoring in patients with free flaps.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Is Contrast Harmonic Imaging (CHI) comparable to computed tomography angiography (CTA) scan in detecting and characterizing suspected endoleaks after endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair in a non-selected group including reintervention procedure and branched endografts in daily practice? MATERIAL/METHODS In a prospective study computed tomography angiography (CTA) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) were performed in 30 consecutive patients (26 males, 4 females, mean age: 72 years, range: 38-87) with suspected endoleaks in follow-up (mean 13 months, range: 1-95) after endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair or procedure in dissection or penetrated ulcer of the aorta (25 infrarenal, 5 suprarenal stent grafts, mean aortic diameter 56 mm, range: 27-98). CTA was supposed to be gold standard for determining the presence of endoleaks (multislice CT, collimation 16 x 0.75 mm, 100 ml of iodized contrast agent bolus). Ultrasonography used a multi-frequency probe (1-4 MHz) with the modalities of colour coded Doppler sonography (CCDS), power Doppler (PD) combined with contrast enhancement and the technique of contrast harmonic imaging (CHI) and low mechanical index (MI < 0.2). 2.4 ml of SonoVue (Bracco, Altana Pharma GmbH, Italy) were administered to each patient intravenously as a bolus injection. RESULTS Out of 30 patients, 21 endoleaks were identified in CTA (6 type I or III, 15 type II), 22 in CHI. Thus, sensitivity for CHI was therefore 99%, its specificity 85% (Spearman correlation coefficient (CC) 0.92). In follow-up the localizations of endoleak type I or III exclusively detected by CHI were confirmed as true positive by angiography. Due to its dynamic characteristic CHI seemed to be more helpful in characterization of endoleaks than CTA. In case of a rupture after reintervention a type III endoleak leads to prompt intervention before receiving the result of the CT scan. Altogether, CHI failed to identify 1 combined type I and II endoleak (sensitivity 0.99). Both, CCDS and PD were positive only in 6/30 patients (CC 0.33 and 0.39). Interestingly the application of contrast agent doubles the detection rate of endoleaks (12/30) in CCDS and PD (CC 0.39). CONCLUSION Contrast harmonic imaging (CHI) compared to computed tomography angiography (CTA) accurately depicts endoleaks after endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair and stent-graft procedure in dissected and ulcerated aorta. It seems to be superior in characterization of the type of endoleaks and can be established in order to reduce iodized contrast agent and radiation exposure in follow-up. In contrast to CTA scan CHI can be offered to patients with chronic renal insufficiency and allows a dynamic examination and a perfusion analysis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been currently debatable. It is possible that the tumor response to chemotherapy may alter the lymphatic drainage thus causing lower SLN identification rate and higher false negative rate. Further, the response of NAC can be different in each lymph nodes. It is doubtful whether SLNB can accurately predict axillary lymph node (ALN) status after NAC. The aim of this study to determine the identification rate, the false-negative rate, and the accuracy of SLNB after NAC for node positive breast cancer.Patients and Methods: A prospective study was initiated to evaluate the results of SLNB after NAC. From January 2007 to April 2009, 81 patients with positive axillary lymph nodes enrolled from two institutions after IRB-approved. They received NAC and then evaluated negative conversion of metastatic lymph node with both PET and breast US. All of them underwent ALN dissection after SLNB with subareolar intradermal injection technique using radioisotope. We evaluated the identification rate, false negative rate, accuracy of SLNB according to the response of chemotherapy in axillary lymph nodes (negative conversion group or remaining positive group).Results: Before the NAC, 31 patients had multiple axillary lymph node metastasis and 50 patients had single metastasis. After NAC 44 cases (54.3%) turned into negative node and 37 cases (45.7%) remained positive nodes. Total identification rate was 80.2% (65 of 81), false negative rate was 19.0% (8 of 42) and accuracy was 87.7% (57 of 65). In negative conversion group showed 84.1% (37 of 44) of identification rate, 21.1% (4 of 19) of false negative rate, 89.2% (33 of 37) of accuracy. In remaining positive group revealed 75.7% (28 of 37) of identification rate, 17.4% (4 of 23) of false negative rate, 85.7% (24/28) of accuracy. There was no statistical significant difference of identification rate, false negative rate, accuracy of SLNB among the two group after NAC (p=0.343, p=0.534, p=0.478, respectively).Conclusion: This study showed relatively low detection rate and accuracy, high false-negative rate of SLNB, even if the positive nodes changed to negative node after NAC. Thus sentinel lymph node biopsy after NAC for node positive breast cancer should be cautious. Since this study had small number of negative conversion patients, further larger prospective studies are required for more proper conclusion.

Abstract
8516 Background: Cytoreductive induction followed by HD-MEL and ASCT is considered standard of care for younger patients (pts) with multiple myeloma (MM). The success of this combined procedure partially depends on the efficacy of induction treatment. Bortezomib-containing induction regimens have already been shown to be superior to standard VAD. In order to further improve the efficacy of induction treatment we combined Vel with intravenous (IV) cyclophosphamide (C) and dexamethasone (D). Methods: This trial is an open, prospective, multicenter, uncontrolled phase II/III study with a planned recruitment of 400 pts. The first 30 pts were included in the dose finding study to determine the optimum dose of IV C in conjunction with Vel and D. The following 170 pts up to 60 years of age with untreated MM were enrolled to receive 3 cycles of induction with Vel 1.3 mg/m2 IV d1, 4, 8, 11; D 40 mg/d d1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12; and C 900mg/m2 IV d1. Primary study objective is response rate (≥ PR) to VelCD according to the EBMT criteria. Results: Data from the first completed 200 pts (mean age: 52 years; 74% stage III) from 36 German centers were analyzed as ITT population. Response rates are given in Table and were documented in 82% of the subjects with 13q-, in 94% with t(4;14) and in 70% with 17p-. SAEs (n=84) occurred in 24.5% of the pts and were related to Vel, C or D in 16%, 14.5% or 9.5% respectively. The mortality rate of 1% is low, 53% of the patients experienced grade 3 + 4 AEs, infections of grade 3 and 4 were reported in 2% and grade 3 paraesthesia occurred in 2%. Conclusions: This interim analysis demonstrates that bortezomib combined with dexamethasone and intravenous cyclophosphamide (VelCD) is a highly effective induction regimen for pts ≤ 60 years with newly diagnosed MM regardless of cytogenetic risk factors.

Abstract
Besides acute inflammatory swelling of a lymph node, acute lymphadenitis, enlarged lymph nodes occur in conjunction with various benign and malignant diseases. Lymphadenopathy can appear in a localized or generalized form and requires further diagnostic measures. Possible causes are primarily infectious, immunological, neoplastic, and metabolic disorders. The medical history and physical examination provide the first clues to the diagnosis. Localized swollen glands often have an infectious etiology so that the first step is to identify the possible focus of infection. Generalized lymphadenopathy is frequently a sign of a hematological systemic disease, particularly in adults. Therefore, in every case of lymphadenopathy persisting for more than 1 month, invasive diagnostic procedures are indicated to rule out a malignant cause. The aim should be to perform a histological analysis; excision of entire lymph nodes is exigent, especially for the work-up of lymphoma. In cases of malignant lymphoma, staging examinations should subsequently be conducted to assess the prognosis and formulate a treatment plan.
