Abstract
Formononetin is a main active component of red clover plants (Trifolium pratense L.), and is considered as a phytoestrogen. Our previous studies demonstrated that formononetin caused cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase by inactivating insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1)/IGF1R-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway in MCF-7 cells. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in the effect of formononetin on prostate cancer cells. Our results suggested that higher concentrations of formononetin inhibited the proliferation of prostate cancer cells (LNCaP and PC-3), while the most striking effect was observed in LNCaP cells. We further found that formononetin inactivated extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in a dose-dependent manner, which resulted in increased the expression levels of BCL2-associated X (Bax) mRNA and protein, and induced apoptosis in LNCaP cells. Thus, we concluded that the induced apoptosis effect of formononetin on human prostate cancer cells was related to ERK1/2 MAPK-Bax pathway. Considering that red clover plants were widely used clinically, our results provided the foundation for future development of different concentrations formononetin for treatment of prostate cancer.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry A(PV) in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from 208Pb. A(PV) is sensitive to the radius of the neutron distribution (R(n)). The result A(PV)=0.656±0.060(stat)±0.014(syst) ppm corresponds to a difference between the radii of the neutron and proton distributions R(n)-R(p)=0.33(-0.18)(+0.16) fm and provides the first electroweak observation of the neutron skin which is expected in a heavy, neutron-rich nucleus.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the double-spin asymmetry A{LT} for charged pion electroproduction in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic electron scattering on a transversely polarized {3}He target. The kinematics focused on the valence quark region, 0.16<x<0.35 with 1.4<Q{2}<2.7 GeV{2}. The corresponding neutron A{LT} asymmetries were extracted from the measured {3}He asymmetries and proton over {3}He cross section ratios using the effective polarization approximation. These new data probe the transverse momentum dependent parton distribution function g{1T}{q} and therefore provide access to quark spin-orbit correlations. Our results indicate a positive azimuthal asymmetry for π{-} production on {3}He and the neutron, while our π{+} asymmetries are consistent with zero.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although diffuse non-scarring hair loss been found common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), study that conduted on the severe type has been scarce. OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the dermoscopic and pathological features of severe diffuse hair loss in SLE. METHOD Data including clinico-laboratory, dermoscopic and histopathological findings of four patients with SLE with severe diffuse hair loss were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS All four patients were women aged 41, 39, 14 and 48 with complaints of hair loss involving 55%, 100%, 60% and 55% of their scalp respectively. Common clinical findings observed in the patients were sparse scalp hair with clusters of newly regrown hair. Scalp dermoscopy showed scaling, perifollicular telangiectasia, increased numbers of short vellus hairs, focal atrichia and decreased hair shaft pigmentation. Scalp tissue histopathology revealed typical changes of SLE such as epidermal atrophy with focal liquefaction, degeneration of the basement membrane zone, pigment incontinence, mild focal perivascular and perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrates and deposition of immunoglobulins at the dermal-epidermal junction. Treatment and improvement in SLE disease activity indices had a favourable impact on hair regrowth. CONCLUSION The severe type of hair loss in patient with SLE presents a unique set of clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological features.

Abstract
We derive a convex optimization problem on a steady-state nonequilibrium network of biochemical reactions, with the property that energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics both hold at the problem solution. This suggests a new variational principle for biochemical networks that can be implemented in a computationally tractable manner. We derive the Lagrange dual of the optimization problem and use strong duality to demonstrate that a biochemical analogue of Tellegen's theorem holds at optimality. Each optimal flux is dependent on a free parameter that we relate to an elementary kinetic parameter when mass action kinetics is assumed.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of target single spin asymmetries in the semi-inclusive (3)He(e,e'π(±))X reaction on a transversely polarized target. The experiment, conducted at Jefferson Lab using a 5.9 GeV electron beam, covers a range of 0.16 < x < 0.35 with 1.4 < Q(2) < 2.7 GeV(2). The Collins and Sivers moments were extracted from the azimuthal angular dependence of the measured asymmetries. The π(±) Collins moments for (3)He are consistent with zero, except for the π(+) moment at x = 0.35, which deviates from zero by 2.3σ. While the π(-) Sivers moments are consistent with zero, the π(+) Sivers moments favor negative values. The neutron results were extracted using the nucleon effective polarization and measured cross section ratios of proton to (3)He, and are largely consistent with the predictions of phenomenological fits and quark model calculations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Low brain tissue perfusion due to abnormal venous drainage is thought to be a central mechanism of brain damage in SWS. Here, HR-PWI was used to quantify WM perfusion abnormalities and to correlate these with brain atrophy and clinical variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen children (age range, 0.8-10.0 years) with unilateral SWS underwent MR imaging examinations, including HR-PWI. rCBV, rCBF, and MTT in the affected WM and in contralateral homotopic WM were measured. AI for each perfusion parameter was correlated with age, brain atrophy, and motor and seizure variables as well as IQ. RESULTS Increased perfusion was seen in the affected hemisphere in 5 children and decreased perfusion in 9 children. Brain atrophy was more severe in the low-perfusion group (P = .01) and was related to both CBF-AI and CBV-AI (r = -0.69, P = .007; r = -0.64, P = .014, respectively). Older children had lower CBV values on the affected side (r = -0.62, P = .02). Longer duration of epilepsy was related to lower CBF (more negative CBF-AI, r = -0.58, P = .03) and low CBV (r = -0.55, P = .04) on the affected side. Lower perfusion was associated with more frequent seizures (rCBF-AI: r = -0.56, P = .04; rCBV-AI: r = -0.63, P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Increased perfusion in the affected cerebral WM may indicate an early stage of SWS without severe brain atrophy. Decreased perfusion is associated with frequent seizures, long duration of epilepsy, and brain atrophy.

Abstract
This study assessed cardiac diastolic dysfunction (DD) in HIV-infected subjects without cardiovascular symptoms in China. Eighty-four HIV-infected patients without cardiovascular symptoms were recruited and compared with 30 HIV-negative control subjects. Cardiac DD was evaluated using echocardiography including tissue Doppler imaging. DD was detected in 47.6% of AIDS patients and 42.8% of HIV-positive patients, which was significantly higher than in HIV-negative controls. After logistic regression analysis, HIV infection was independently correlated with cardiac DD (P < 0.05). Among HIV-positive subjects, logistic regression analysis showed that zidovudine exposure was associated with higher prevalence of DD (P < 0.05). Asymptomatic cardiac DD was observed frequently in HIV-infected subjects. HIV infection itself and zidovudine exposure were correlated with a higher prevalence of cardiac DD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Th17, a newly identified CD4+ T-cell subset, has been implicated in transplant rejection. Differentiation of Th17 cells is associated with transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are the main products of Küpffer cells. OBJECTIVE To determine whether Küpffer cells promote acute liver allograft rejection by inducing Th17 cell differentiation. METHODS A rat model of allogeneic liver transplantation using Dark Agouti (DA) to Brown Norway (BN) rats was established with or without gadolinium chloride (GdCl(3)) pretreatment. Isogeneic liver transplantation (BN to BN) was performed as a control. Concentrations of cytokines secreted by Küpffer cells or Th17-related cytokines detected in the liver and peripheral blood were analyzed using immunohistochemistry assays, flow cytometry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Survival differences were compared between treatment groups. In vitro, Küpffer cells from liver grafts were isolated and co-cultured with naïve CD4 T cells. RESULTS Both Küpffer cells and Th17 cells infiltrated liver allografts, accompanied by an increase in concentrations of IL-6 and TGF-β. Pretreatment with GdCl(3) attenuated intragraft infiltration of Küpffer cells and Th17 cells, and decreased IL-6 and TGF-β concentrations. Liver function improved after pretreatment, and mean (SD) survival time was prolonged, compared with the control group (16.33 [0.96] days vs 11.50 [0.99] days, respectively; P < .01). In vitro, Küpffer cells from livers with allografts secreted significantly higher concentrations of IL-6 and TGF-β and induced Th17 differentiation more effectively compared with livers with isografts (30.8% vs 8.1%, respectively). CONCLUSION Küpffer cells have the potential to induce Th17 cells by secreting IL-6 and TGF-β, and as a result, promote acute liver allograft rejection.

Abstract
As an ideal fuel due to the advantages of no pollution, high combustion heat and abundant sources, hydrogen gas can be produced from organic matter through the electrohydrogenesis process in microbial electrolysis cells. But in many MECs, platinum is often used as catalyst, which limits the practical applications of MECs. To reduce the cost of the MECs, Ni-based alloy cathodes were developed by electrodepositing. In this paper hydrogen production using Ni-W-P cathode was studied for the first time in a single-chamber membrane-free MEC. At an applied voltage of 0.9 V, MECs with Ni-W-P cathodes obtained a hydrogen production rate of 1.09 m3/m3/day with an cathodic hydrogen recovery of 74%, a Coulombic efficiency of 56% and an electrical energy efficiency relative to electrical input of 139%, which was the best result of reports in this study. The Ni-W-P cathode demonstrated a better electrocatalytic activity than the Ni-Ce-P cathode and achieved a comparable performance to the Pt cathode in terms of hydrogen production rate, Coulombic efficiency, cathodic hydrogen recovery and electrical energy efficiency at 0.9 V.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and its lymphovascular embolic signature seem to challenge the dogma of prerequisite epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) in human breast cancer progression by the apparent maintenance of an epithelial state in all stages of IBC. Previous studies with a human xenograft model of inflammatory breast cancer, MARY-X, demonstrated that overexpressed E-cadherin moderated the formation of the lymphovascular embolus in vivo and tumoral spheroids of super-high density in vitro. Although slug, snail and twist are increased in MARY-X spheroids and may decrease E-cadherin transcription to some extent, their effects are neutralized and frankly overridden by the post-transcriptional regulation of E-cadherin which includes its altered degradation and trafficking which, in turn, maintain the epithelial state. Materials and Methods: Because of the uniqueness of the MARY-X model and the observation that E-cadherin was not functioning as a tumor suppressor gene whose loss was triggering EMT but rather whose overexpression was mediating increased survival and resistance to apoptosis, we decided to examine the fate and role of E-cadherin more closely.
Results: We discovered that E-cadherin underwent extensive proteolytic processing which resulted in fragments also mediating increased survival and resistance to apoptosis. In both MARY-X and the MARY-X spheroids, Western blot revealed 5 E-cadherin bands: one full length (120 kDa) and four fragments: E-cad/NFT1 (100 kDa), E-cad/NTF2 (95 kDa), E-cad/NTF3 (85 kDa), E-cad/NTF4 (80kDa). Corresponding E-cad/CTF1-4 fragments were also generated. Compared to MARY-X, NFT1 was dramatically increased in the MARY-X spheroids whereas NFT2-4 were significantly decreased. These E-cadherin fragments were produced by specific proteolytic cleavage based on inhibitor studies: NFT1 was produced by calpain, NFT2 by γ-secretase, NFT3 by a matrix metalloproteinase and NFT4 by an unknown mechanism. Predictably levels of calpain activity were significantly increased in the MARY-X spheroids. NFT1 generatedby increased calpain activity retained the p120ctn binding site but lost both the β-catenin and α-binding sites, facilitating its 360° distribution around the cell. Calpain inhibition decreased NFT1 without any affect on full length E-cadherin yet induced disadherence of intact spheroids and prevented the assembly of de novo spheroids. Identical proteolytic fragments of E-cadherin were observed in 3 other human IBC cell lines as well as in lymphovascular emboli of human IBC cases obtained by laser capture microdissection.
Discussion: The selective proteolytic processing of E-cadherin ultimately then is responsible for the increased survival of the lymphovascular embolus of IBC and its resistance to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. Select NT proteolytic fragments may function as adhesion molecules whereas select CT proteolytic fragments may function as transcription factors which confer this survival advantage. E-cadherin and its proteolytic fragments then both trump EMT as well as function as dominant oncogenes in IBC.

Abstract
Inflammatory breast carcinoma (IBC) is characterized by exaggerated lymphovascular invasion (LVI), recapitulated in our human xenograft, MARY-X. This model exhibited lymphovascular emboli in vivo and corresponding spheroids in vitro. Owing to the morphological and gene profile resemblance of these spheroids to embryonal blastocysts, we wondered whether they might exhibit embryonic stem cell signaling. Specifically we investigated Notch and observed selective Notch 3 activation by expression profiling, reverse transcriptase- and real-time PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence in vitro, and immunohistochemistry in vivo. Notch 3 intracellular domain (N3icd) and six target genes, HES-5, HEY-1, c-Myc, Deltex-1, NRARP and PBX1, markedly increased in MARY-X. In addition, a significant percentage of MARY-X cells expressed aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), a stem cell marker. Only the ALDH(+) cells were capable of secondary spheroidgenesis, tumorigenicity and self-renewal. Inhibiting Notch 3 activation in vitro with γ-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) or small interfering RNA resulted in a downregulation of Notch target genes, including CD133, and an induction of caspase 3-mediated apoptosis. Transfection of N3icd but not Notch 1 intracellular domain into normal human mammary epithelial cells resulted in increased expression of Notch target genes and induction of spheroidgenesis. GSI in vivo resulted in inhibitory but diffusion-limited effects on Notch 3 signaling, resulting in xenograft growth reduction. The lymphovascular emboli of human IBC exhibited dual N3icd and ALDH1 immunoreactivities independently of molecular subtype. This Notch 3 addiction of lymphovascular emboli might be exploited in future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Enterobacter sakazakii is an emerging foodborne pathogen associated with severe diseases in neonates. Infant formula milk (IFM) has been identified as one of the major contaminated sources and a transmission vehicle. To determine the phenotypic and genotypic characterization of this pathogen, 22 E. sakazakii strains isolated from IFM by an FDA-recommended method and PCR on the alpha-glucosidase gene were subtyped by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR, and antibiotic resistance patterns. At a similarity threshold of 80%, 16 ERIC-PCR fingerprint types were identified with a discriminatory power (D) of 0.933, and 18 RAPD-PCR types were identified with D of 0.973. Resistance to 9 antibiotics tested by disk diffusion assay revealed 6 antibiotic resistance patterns with D of 0.749. The comparison of characterization indicated that RAPD-PCR and ERIC-PCR have high discriminatory power showing genetic diversity of E. sakazakii isolates, and ERIC-PCR patterns showed a closer correlation than RAPD-PCR patterns to phenotypic characterization and the brands of IFM. Overall, the ERIC-PCR typing method could be used for tracing sources of E. sakazakii isolates in the food chain.

Abstract
The long-term prognosis for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is dramatically altered by the development of metastatic recurrence. However, there are very few indicators that can predict which patient will develop a recurrence. MicroRNAs regulate many cellular processes and have been shown to be associated with cancer development and recurrence. More recently it has been shown that microRNA genes can be epigenetically modified in cancer, resulting in aberrant silencing of microRNA genes with tumor suppressor functions. In this study, we show that two genes encoding for hsa-miR-9 are significantly hypermethylated in ccRCC tumors compared with adjacent normal tissues (P-value <0.001 for both miR-9-1 and miR-9-3) resulting in decreased expression, and that the methylation of these genes was more significant in DNA obtained from the primary tumor for patients who developed a recurrence (P-value: 0.012 and 0.009 for miR-9-1 and miR-9-3, respectively) than in tumors from nonrecurrent patients. Furthermore, methylation of miR-9-3 was significantly associated with an increased risk of recurrence (hazard ratio: 5.85, 95% confidence intervals: 1.30-26.35) and high methylation levels of either miR-9-1 or miR-9-3 resulted in a significant, nearly 30-month decrease in recurrence-free survival time (P-value: 0.034 and 0.007 for miR-9-1 and miR-9-3, respectively). Our results demonstrate that hsa-miR-9 is involved in the development of ccRCC while also having a role in the development of metastatic recurrence.

Abstract
The atmospheric fluxes of N(2)O, CH(4) and CO(2) from the soil in four mangrove swamps in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, South China were investigated in the summer of 2008. The fluxes ranged from 0.14 to 23.83 micromol m(-2)h(-1), 11.9 to 5168.6 micromol m(-2)h(-1) and 0.69 to 20.56 mmol m(-2)h(-1) for N(2)O, CH(4) and CO(2), respectively. Futian mangrove swamp in Shenzhen had the highest greenhouse gas fluxes, followed by Mai Po mangrove in Hong Kong. Sha Kong Tsuen and Yung Shue O mangroves in Hong Kong had similar, low fluxes. The differences in both N(2)O and CH(4) fluxes among different tidal positions, the landward, seaward and bare mudflat, in each swamp were insignificant. The N(2)O and CO(2) fluxes were positively correlated with the soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphate, total iron and NH(4)(+)-N contents, as well as the soil porosity. However, only soil NH(4)(+)-N concentration had significant effects on CH(4) fluxes.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to assess whether resolvin E1 (RvE1), an anti-inflammatory mediator derived from eicosapentaenoic acid, would limit myocardial infarct size in the rat. The H9c2 cell line was used to assess whether RvE1 has direct protective effects on cardiomyocytes. In in vivo experiments, Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 30 min of ischemia/4 h of reperfusion. Before reperfusion, rats received intravenous RvE1 (0, 0.03, 0.1, or 0.3mg/kg). In in vitro experiments, H9c2 cells were incubated with RvE1 (0, 1, 10, 100, or 1000 nM). Cells were subjected to 18 h of incubation under normoxic conditions, 16 h of hypoxia, or 16 h of hypoxia and 2 h of reoxygenation. In vivo, RvE1 dose dependently reduced infarct size (30.7 +/- 1.7% of the area at risk in the control group and 29.1 +/- 1.6%, 14.7 +/- 1.3%, and 9.0 +/- 0.6% in the 0.03, 0.1, and 0.3 mg/kg groups, respectively, P < 0.001). In vitro, RvE1 increased viability and decreased apoptosis in a dose-dependent fashion in cells exposed to hypoxia or hypoxia/reoxygenation. A maximal effect was achieved at a concentration of 100 nM. RvE1 augmented phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity, attenuated caspase-3 activity, and augmented calcium-dependent nitric oxide synthase activity in cells exposed to hypoxia or hypoxia/reoxygenation. RvE1 increased Akt, ERK1/2, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation and attenuated the levels of activated caspase-3 and phosphorylated p38 levels. AG-1478, an EGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocked the protective effect of RvE1 both in vivo and in vitro and attenuated the RvE1-induced increase in Akt and ERK1/2 phosphorylation. In conclusion, RvE1, an anti-inflammatory mediator derived from eicosapentaenoic acid, has a direct protective effect on cardiomyocytes against ischemia-reperfusion injury and limits infarct size when administered intravenously before reperfusion.

Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is an aggressive, pediatric bone tumor characterized by extensive destruction of the surrounding bone. Though first described over 60 years ago, its molecular etiology remains poorly understood. Recent work revealed that ABCs harbor translocation of TRE17/USP6, leading to its transcriptional upregulation. TRE17 encodes a ubiquitin-specific protease (USP), and a TBC domain that mediates binding to the Arf6 GTPase. However, the mechanisms by which TRE17 overexpression contributes to tumor pathogenesis, and the role of its USP and TBC domains are unknown. ABCs are characterized by osteolysis, inflammatory recruitment, and extensive vascularization, processes in which matrix proteases play a prominent role. This led us to explore whether TRE17 regulates the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In the current study, we demonstrate that TRE17 is sufficient to induce expression of MMP-9 and MMP-10, in a manner requiring its USP activity, but not its ability to bind Arf6. TRE17 induces transcription of MMP-9 through activation of NFκB, mediated in part by the GTPase RhoA and its effector kinase, ROCK. Furthermore, xenograft studies demonstrate that TRE17 induces formation of tumors that reproduce multiple features of ABC, including a high degree of vascularization, with an essential role for the USP domain. In sum, these studies reveal that TRE17 is sufficient to initiate tumorigenesis, identify MMPs as novel TRE17 effectors that likely contribute to ABC pathogenesis, and define the underlying signaling mechanism of their induction.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor gene hypermethylated in cancer 1 (HIC1), which encodes a transcriptional repressor, is epigenetically inactivated in various human cancers. In this study, we show that HIC1 is a direct transcriptional repressor of the gene encoding ephrin-A1, a cell surface ligand implicated in the pathogenesis of epithelial cancers. We also show that mouse embryos lacking both Hic1 alleles manifest developmental defects spatially associated with the misexpression of ephrin-A1, and that overexpression of ephrin-A1 is a feature of tumors arising in Hic1 heterozygous mice in which the remaining wild-type allele is epigenetically silenced. In breast cancer, we find that ephrin-A1 expression is common in vivo, but that in cell culture, expression of the EphA receptors is predominant. Restoration of HIC1 function in breast cancer cells leads to a reduction in tumor growth in vivo, an effect that can be partially rescued by co-overexpression of ephrin-A1. Interestingly, overexpression of ephrin-A1 in vitro triggers downregulation of EphA2 and EphA4 levels, resulting in an expression pattern similar to that seen in vivo. We conclude that Hic1 spatially restricts ephrin-A1 expression in development, and that upregulated expression of ephrin-A1 resulting from epigenetic silencing of HIC1 in cancer cells may be an important mechanism in epithelial malignancy.

Abstract
Mutations of some contributing factors (p53, p16, Rb, and EGFR) are believed to affect diagnosis and drug resistance of lung cancer. We evaluated the efficacy of a multimarker panel for molecular diagnosis of lung cancer, using a high-throughput suspension microarray. One hundred and twenty-five lung cancer specimens and 30 tumor-free lung tissue samples were assayed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction with specific probes designed to detect hot-spot mutations in p53, p16, Rb, and EGFR. The mutation rates of p53, p16, Rb, or EGFR in the lung cancer specimens were 36.8, 15.2, 11.2, and 18.4%, respectively. Inclusion of four markers elevated sensitivity to 68.0%. The specificity and accuracy of four-marker detection were 90.0 and 72.3%, and the mutation rates of this panel in stage I, stage II and stage III disease were 62.2, 65.9 and 75.0%, respectively. Mutation at p16 occurred more frequently in non-small cell lung cancer (19.3%) than in small cell lung cancer (5.4%); while the mutation rate of Rb was 32.4% in small cell lung cancer versus 2.3% in non-small cell lung cancer. We conclude that simultaneous detection of p53, Rb, p16, and EGFR in a suspension microarray facilitates rapid diagnosis of lung cancer.

Abstract
The improvement of the quality of electroenterogram (EEnG) recordings on abdominal surface could lead to a non-invasive technique to diagnose intestinal motility dysfunctions. In this context, the use of coaxial active electrodes, which permit to record the laplacian potential, can help to achieve such signal enhancement. In this paper, we present a methodology to obtain the maps of sensitivity of this kind of electrodes to pick up the activity of electric dipoles of different orientations. The proposed methodology employs mathematical models, as well as experimental studies (phantoms) to check the theoretical results. The mathematical model of the electrode, and of the human abdomen is developed by means of ANSYS. A simplified physical model is formed by real ring electrodes, a methacrylate tank of size 50 x 50 x 50 cm filled with a saltwater mixture of 2.5 g/l concentration, and moving electric dipoles made by wires of 0.3 mm in diameter. Sensitivity of the sensor is obtained for different depths and different axial distances of vertical and horizontal dipoles. Preliminary results of tripolar ring electrodes in bipolar configuration (TCB) are shown. The obtained results prove the agreement between mathematical and experimental results. The validated model will allow us to study the behavior of laplacian ring electrodes of different dimensions and materials to record the EEnG activity and to analyze the influence of the abdominal layers.

Abstract
The zeolite Li-ABW was synthesized by fusion method using fly ash as raw material. It comprised alkaline fusion followed by hydrothermal treatment in LiOH x H2O medium. Crystallinity of zeolite as high as 97.8% was attained under the following conditions: LiOH x H2O concentration, 3M; hydrothermal temperature, 180 degrees C; the corresponding aging time, 12 h. The content of Li-ABW increased at the expense of lithium aluminum silicate or quartz with an increase of LiOH x H2O concentration. With increasing hydrothermal temperature and aging time, the soluble species re-crystallized and crystalline phase transformation between different zeolites was observed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation revealed that the obtained zeolite Li-ABW was a rod-like crystal. The pore size distribution curve indicated the presence of mesopores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-risk human papilloma viruses (HPVs) are candidates as causal viruses in breast cancer. The scientific challenge is to determine whether HPVs are causal and not merely passengers or parasites. Studies of HPV-related koilocytes in breast cancer offer an opportunity to address this crucial issue. Koilocytes are epithelial cells characterised by perinuclear haloes surrounding condensed nuclei and are commonly present in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Koilocytosis is accepted as pathognomonic (characteristic of a particular disease) of HPV infection. The aim of this investigation is to determine whether putative koilocytes in normal and malignant breast tissues are because of HPV infection. METHODS Archival formalin-fixed normal and malignant breast specimens were investigated by histology, in situ PCR with confirmation of the findings by standard PCR and sequencing of the products, plus immunohistochemistry to identify HPV E6 oncoproteins. RESULTS human papilloma virus-associated koilocytes were present in normal breast skin and lobules and in the breast skin and cancer tissue of patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs). INTERPRETATION As koilocytes are known to be the precursors of some HPV-associated cervical cancer, it follows that HPVs may be causally associated with breast cancer.

Abstract
Schottky junction photovoltaic (PV) devices were fabricated on single CdS nanobelts (NBs). Au was used as the Schottky contact, and In/Au was used as the ohmic contact to CdS NB. Typically, the Schottky junction exhibits a well-defined rectifying behavior in the dark with a rectification ratio greater than 10(3) at +/- 0.3 V; and the PV device exhibits a clear PV behavior with an open circuit photovoltage of about 0.16 V, a short circuit current of about 23.8 pA, a maximum output power of about 1.6 pW, and a fill factor of 42%. Moreover, the output power can be multiplied by connecting two or more of the Schottky junction PV devices, made on a single CdS NB, in parallel or in series. This study demonstrates that the 1D Schottky junction PV devices, which have the merits of low cost, easy fabrication and material universality, can be an important candidate for power sources in nano-optoelectronic systems.

Abstract
Thyroid function ultimately depends on appropriate iodine supply to the gland. There is a complex series of checks and balances that the thyroid uses to control the orderly utilization of iodine for hormone synthesis. The aim of our study is to evaluate the mechanism underlying the effect of iodine excess on thyroid hormone metabolism. Based on the successful establishment of animal models of normal-iodine (NI) and different degrees of high-iodine (HI) intake in Wistar rats, the content of monoiodotyrosine (MIT), diiodotyrosine (DIT), T(4), and T(3) in thyroid tissues, the activity of thyroidal type 1 deiodinase (D1) and its (Dio1) mRNA expression level were measured. Results showed that, in the case of iodine excess, the biosynthesis of both MIT and DIT, especially DIT, was increased. There was an obvious tendency of decreasing in MIT/DIT ratio with increased doses of iodine intake. In addition, iodine excess greatly inhibited thyroidal D1 activity and mRNA expression. T(3) was greatly lower in the HI group, while there was no significant difference of T(4) compared with NI group. The T(3)/T(4) ratio was decreased in HI groups, antiparalleled with increased doses of iodine intakes. In conclusion, the increased biosyntheses of DIT relative to MIT and the inhibition of thyroidal Dio1 mRNA expression and D1 activity may be taken as an effective way to protect an organism from impairment caused by too much T(3). These observations provide new insights into the cellular regulation mechanism of thyroid hormones under physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
e15642 Background: Primary results of POF as 1st and 2nd line treatment for AGC have been presented at ASCO 2007 and 2008. We report here data on the feasibility and the toxicity of POF versus IF(Dank, et al, ASCO 2005) in 1st line treatment of AGC. Methods: Patients with previously untreated, advanced, unresectable, and histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the gastric or gastroesophageal junction were randomly assigned to POF or IF regiment. Treatment was continued until disease progressed, unacceptable toxicity, or patient choice. Results: 25 patients were entered in this study between March 2007 and July 2007: 13 in the POF group and 12 in the IF group. The median patient age was 55 years (range, 36 to 67 years), 18 were males and 7 were females. No complete response was observed. The response rate was 62.5% (POF) and 33.3% (IF) respectively. At a median follow-up of 285 days, 7(POF) versus 6(IF) patients were still alive. Hematological toxicity was the most frequent toxicity in both groups. Grade 3 to 4 neutropenia were 38.5% (POF) versus 8.3% (IF). Diarrhea was found 0% and 8.3% in POF and IF group respectively. No grade 3 peripheral neurotoxicity was observed. Conclusions: Compared with IF regiment, POF could also be used as first-line treatment for AGC with acceptable safety profile, good efficacy, and more encouraging results. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
