Abstract
On the basis of QTL studies for milk-fat yield trait on BTA3, annexin 9 protein (ANXA9), fatty acid transport protein type 3 (SLC27A3) and diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) were selected as candidate genes. Three different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of bovine ANXA9, SLC27A3 and DGAT1 genes have been tested in a selective genotyping design for milk-fat yield. Significant allele frequency differences were found for ANXA9 (p=0.02), in Holstein-Friesian animals with high and low breeding values for milk-fat yield. Regression analysis also showed a significant effect (p=0.0207) between estimated breeding values (EBVs) for fat milk content and ANXA9 polymorphism. So ANXA9 gene falls into a significant quantitative trait loci interval for milk-fat yield that was previously reported on bovine chromosome 3 in other dairy populations. Our results suggest that the ANXA9 gene polymorphism or a linked segregating QTL contributes to variation in milk-fat yield.

Abstract
Our goal was to discover genes differentially expressed in the perichondrium (PC) of the mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) that might enhance regenerative medicine or orthopaedic therapies directed at the tissues of the temporomandibular joint. We used targeted gene arrays (osteogenesis, stem cell) to identify genes preferentially expressed in the PC and the cartilaginous (C) portions of the MCC in 2-day-old mice. Genes with higher expression in the PC sample related to growth factor ligand-receptor interactions [FGF-13 (6.4x), FGF-18 (4x), NCAM (2x); PGDF receptors, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and IGF-1], the Notch isoforms (especially Notch 3 and 4) and their ligands or structural proteins/proteoglycans [collagen XIV (21x), collagen XVIII (4x), decorin (2.5x)]. Genes with higher expression in the C sample consisted mostly of known cartilage-specific genes [aggrecan (11x), procollagens X (33x), XI (14x), IX (4.5x), Sox 9 (4.4x) and Indian hedgehog (6.7x)]. However, the functional or structural roles of several genes that were expressed at higher levels in the PC sample are unclear [myogenic factor (Myf) 9 (9x), tooth-related genes such as tuftelin (2.5x) and dentin sialophosphoprotein (1.6x), VEGF-B (2x) and its receptors (3-4x) and sclerostin (1.7x)]. FGF, Notch and TGF-beta signalling may be important regulators of MCC proliferation and differentiation; the relatively high expression of genes such as Myf6 and VEGF-B and its receptors suggests a degree of unsuspected plasticity in PC cells.

Abstract
In countries where clinical phenylketonuria is detected by newborn screening inborn errors of metabolism are rare causes of isolated mental retardation. There is no international agreement about what type of metabolic tests must be applied in patients with unspecific mental retardation. However, and although infrequent, there are a number of inborn errors of metabolism that can present in this way. Because of the high recurrence risk and the possibility of specific therapies, guidelines need to be developed and adapted to different populations. The application of a universal protocol may result in a low diagnostic performance in individual ethnic populations. Consideration of associated signs (extraneurological manifestations, psychiatric signs, autistic traits, cerebellar dysfunction, epilepsy or dysmorphic traits) greatly improves the diagnostic fulfilment.

Abstract
Motor disturbances are very common in paediatric neurology. Often families can be reassured that these are just variants of normal development. However, abnormal movements can also be the hallmark of severe brain dysfunction of different and complex origins. This review concentrates on motor disturbances as frequent and important symptoms of inborn errors of metabolism. A structured diagnostic approach is developed taking into account age-dependent physiological developments and pathophysiological responses of gross and fine motor functions. A series of investigations are presented with the primary aim of early diagnosis of treatable conditions. The correct recognition and differentiation of movement disorders (ataxia, rigid akinetic syndrome (Fparkinsonism_), dystonia, athetosis, tremor,and others), spasticity, and neuromuscular disorders, requires profound neurological expertise. A high level of suspicion and close interaction between paediatric neurologists and specialists in inborn errors of metabolism are indispensable to effectively and timely identify patients in whom motor disturbances are the presenting and/or main symptom of an inborn error.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. Despite optimal diagnosis and early treatment, many patients die of recurrent disease. There are no sufficiently useful biomarkers to predict the risk of tumor recurrence. Here, we show that expression of histone macroH2A1.1 and macroH2A2 predicts lung cancer recurrence, identifying these histone variants as a novel tool for an improved risk stratification of cancer patients. Moreover, macroH2A isoforms are highly expressed in cells undergoing senescence, a known antitumor mechanism, suggesting macroH2A1.1 may be a useful biomarker for senescent cells in tumors.

Abstract
Some parameters related to nutritive and functional properties were evaluated in date fruit from seven date palms from the Elche grove along the maturation process, in order to obtain information about differences due to phenotypic variability. Results showed that sugar and organic acid concentration were different depending on date palm, the highest levels being reached at 100% Rutab stage, with glucose and fructose as the predominant sugars and malic acid as the major organic acid. Hydrophilic total antioxidant activity (HTAA) was high and correlated to phenolic content, with maxima levels being found at early, medium or late Khalal stages, depending on date palm. In addition, significant differences were found in both, phenolic concentration and HTAA among date palm and maturation stages, while lipophilic total antioxidant activity (LTAA) was very low, without changes along maturation and not correlated to HTAA. Then, date fruit from Elche grove could serve as a good source of natural antioxidant and it would be advisable to consume them at medium or late Khalal stages, in order to achieve the maxima nutritional (high concentration of sugars and organic acids), organoleptic (appropriated firmness levels, yellow or red color and low astringency) and functional properties with benefits to human health.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) and Sirtuin 2 (Sirt2) belong to the family of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-positive)-dependent class III histone deacetylases and are involved in regulating lifespan. As cancer is a disease of ageing, targeting Sirtuins is emerging as a promising antitumour strategy. Here we present Salermide (N-{3-[(2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino]-phenyl}-2-phenyl-propionamide), a reverse amide with a strong in vitro inhibitory effect on Sirt1 and Sirt2. Salermide was well tolerated by mice at concentrations up to 100 muM and prompted tumour-specific cell death in a wide range of human cancer cell lines. The antitumour activity of Salermide was primarily because of a massive induction of apoptosis. This was independent of global tubulin and K16H4 acetylation, which ruled out a putative Sirt2-mediated apoptotic pathway and suggested an in vivo mechanism of action through Sirt1. Consistently with this, RNA interference-mediated knockdown of Sirt1, but not Sirt2, induced apoptosis in cancer cells. Although p53 has been reported to be a target of Sirt1, genetic p53 knockdowns showed that the Sirt1-dependent proapoptotic effect of Salermide is p53-independent. We were finally able to ascribe the apoptotic effect of Salermide to the reactivation of proapoptotic genes epigenetically repressed exclusively in cancer cells by Sirt1. Taken together, our results underline Salermide's promise as an anticancer drug and provide evidence for the molecular mechanism through which Sirt1 is involved in human tumorigenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The tumour inhibitor p53 gene has the ability of triggering proliferation arrest and cellular death by apoptosis subsequent to several factors, among them oxidative stress. The p53 protein is a major regulator of gene expression. Using genetically manipulated mice carrying an extra copy of gene p53 (transgenic mice super p53) versus control mice, we have investigated the generation of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant activity in the optic nerve of mice in relation to p53 availability. METHODS We studied two groups of 12-month-old mice of the strain C57BL/6: 1) super p53 group (Sp53) and 2) wild-type control group (CG). Mice were anesthetized in ether atmosphere and the eyeball and retrobulbar optic nerves were excised, washed, soaked in PBS, and stored in liquid nitrogen at -85 degrees C until processing. Three-four optic nerves from the same group were placed in an eppendorf tube, homogenized and enzymatic-colorimetric methods used to determine oxidative and antioxidant activities and the nitric oxide synthesis. RESULTS A significant increase in free radical formation (via lipid peroxidation; p<0.001), antioxidant activity (p<0.001) and nitric oxide synthesis (p<0.001) was found in the optic nerves from transgenic super p53 mice compared to respective controls. CONCLUSION The presence of an extra copy of the p53 gene correlated with redox status in the mouse optic nerve. This transgenic mouse could be useful as an experimental model to study cell resistance to neurodegenerative processes in relation to oxidative stress and to apoptosis induction, such as glaucomatous optic neuropathy or age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract
Loquat fruits (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl cv. `Algerie') were stored in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), using five types of microperforated polypropylene (PP) films during 2, 4, and 6 weeks at 2 °C and for a subsequent period of 4 days at 20 °C shelf life (SL) out of the bags. Loquat fruits stored without packaging and in normal air served as control. The atmosphere composition at the steady state depended on the film permeability, ranging from 1.2 to 8.5 kPa for CO2 and from 19.5 to 13 kPa for O2 as film permeability decreased. Weight loss was drastically reduced by MAP conditions. Softening, color evolution, and decreases in sugars and organic acids were delayed, these effects also being evident after the SL period. Scores for visual aspect and facility of peeling were also higher for loquat stored in MAP than for controls. Taking into account results form all quality parameters, the most suitable atmosphere for loquat storage was found to be around 2—4 and 16—18 kPa for CO2 and O2, respectively, reached in the PA-80 and PA-60 films. In addition, the storage period for optimum loquat quality maintenance was established as 2 weeks of cold storage plus SL for control fruits, while under MAP conditions, storage periods could be extended up to 6 weeks plus SL, especially using PA-80 and PA-60 films.

Abstract
Neurotransmitters are essential in young children for differentiation and neuronal growth of the developing nervous system. We aimed to identify possible factors related to secondary neurotransmitter abnormalities in pediatric patients with neurological disorders. We analyzed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and biogenic amine metabolites in 56 infants (33 males, 23 females; mean age 5.8mo [SD 4.1mo] range 1d-1y) with neurological disorders whose aetiology was initially unknown. Patients were classified into three clinical phenotypes: epileptic encephalopathy, severe motor impairment, and non-specific manifestations. All patients showed normal results for screening of inborn errors of metabolism. We report clinical, neuroimaging, and follow-up data. Among the patients studied, 10 had low homovanillic acid (HVA) levels and in four patients, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) was also reduced. Patients with neonatal onset had significantly lower levels of HVA than a comparison group. HVA deficiency was also associated with severe motor impairment and the final diagnosis related to neurodegenerative disorders. 5-HIAA values tended to be decreased in patients with brain cortical atrophy. The possibility of treating patients with L-Dopa and 5-hydroxytryptophan, in order to improve their neurological function and maturation, may be considered.

Abstract
21080 Background: The hematogenous distant metastasis is the leading cause of cancer death. This process involves the passage through the blood and lymphatic circulation of circulating tumor cells (CTC) with metastatic properties. Thus, the early detection of such cells has important implication for cancer prognosis, monitoring of treatment and to predict clinical outcome. We present the results that showed that CTC are prognostic factor after chemotherapy independently of treatment. Methods: A total of 59 patients with breast cancer were enrolled in this study between April 2000 and December 2002. The median follow-up was 50 months. All patients received chemotherapy as first line treatment. Results of this work included CTC detection one month after of the end of chemotherapy. After informed consent, 10ml of heparinized peripheral blood was collected from patients. For enrichment of CTC we use the Carcinoma Cell Enrichment and Detection kit using MACS technology (Miltenyi Biotec). After enrichment of epithelial tumor cells immunomagnetic labeled with a multi- cytokeratin-specific antibody, the positive cells were detected by immunocytochemical staining with alkaline phosphatase substrate. Results: Analysis of CTC after chemotherapy: Circulating tumor cells were detected in 32 patients (54.23%). A mean number of cells were detected 3.7 (SD 13.9; range 1–105).The number of CTC was correlationed with progression free of disease (PFS) and overall survival (OS). In the univariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis number cells were significantly associated with OS (p = 0.020) and PFS (p = 0.008). In the multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, number cells admit borderline statically significance with PFS (p = 0.052) and OS (p = 0.071). Conclusions: Our results suggest that the persistence of CTC after the treatment predicts clinical outcome and therefore the detection of CTC in breast cancer patients might allow monitoring of chemotherapy response. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
We report a case of a 9-cm mixed epithelial and stromal tumour of the kidney in an obese 70-year-old woman with diabetes. The ovarian-type stroma had a spindle cell component that was positive for progesterone receptors and had the hitherto unreported presence of abundant foci of luteinised stromal cells with characteristic immunohistochemical positivity to alpha-inhibin, calretinin, aromatase and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors. We conclude that the stromal component is identical to ovarian cortical stroma. We believe that ovarian-type stroma occurs in extragenital tumours as a result of an epithelial-stromal interaction in an environment of hormonal hyperstimulation.

Abstract
A good representation of mesoscopic fluids is required to combine with molecular simulations at larger length and time scales [De Fabritiis, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 134501 (2006)]. However, accurate computational models of the hydrodynamics of nanoscale molecular assemblies are lacking, at least in part because of the stochastic character of the underlying fluctuating hydrodynamic equations. Here we derive a finite volume discretization of the compressible isothermal fluctuating hydrodynamic equations over a regular grid in the Eulerian reference system. We apply it to fluids such as argon at arbitrary densities and water under ambient conditions. To that end, molecular dynamics simulations are used to derive the required fluid properties. The equilibrium state of the model is shown to be thermodynamically consistent and correctly reproduces linear hydrodynamics including relaxation of sound and shear modes. We also consider nonequilibrium states involving diffusion and convection in cavities with no-slip boundary conditions.
