Abstract
Experimental autoimmune gastritis (EAG) is an excellent model of human autoimmune gastritis, the underlying cause of pernicious anaemia. Murine autoimmune gastritis replicates human gastritis in being characterized by a chronic inflammatory mononuclear cell infiltrate in the gastric mucosa, destruction of parietal and zymogenic cells, and autoantibodies to the alpha-and beta-subunits of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase. Disease is induced strain specifically in gastritis-susceptible BALB/c mice by methods with a greater variety than those for most other experimental autoimmune diseases. The disease is induced in the regional gastric lymph node in which pathogenic CD4+ T cells are recruited. The model provides an excellent illustration of regulation by CD4+CD25+T cells, and, indeed, the removal of such regulatory cells, e.g., by neonatal thymectomy, is thought to be a major mechanism by which disease can develop. The culprit T helper type 1 (Th1) CD4+ T cells recognize either the alpha- or beta-subunits of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase, but the beta-subunit appears to be the initiating autoantigen, while the alpha-subunit may have a role in perpetuating disease. Since no specific environmental modifiers are identifiable, the origins of the disease are intrinsic; this is illustrated by the capacity of a cytokine (GM-CSF)-dependent inflammatory stimulus in the stomach to initiate EAG, according to a transgenic model in which thymectomy is dispensible. Thus, EAG is an exquisite model for a reductionist analysis of the multiple elements that in combination induce autoimmunity in humans.

Abstract
Xenotransplantation of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in immunocompromised animals has been critical for defining leukemic stem cells. However, existing immunodeficient strains of mice have short life spans and low levels of AML cell engraftment, hindering long-term evaluation of primary human AML biology. A recent study suggested that NOD/LtSz-scid IL2Rgammac null (NSG) mice have enhanced AML cell engraftment, but this relied on technically challenging neonatal injections. Here, we performed extensive analysis of AML engraftment in adult NSG mice using tail vein injection. Of the 35 AML samples analyzed, 66% showed bone marrow engraftment over 0.1%. Further, 37% showed high levels of engraftment (>10%), with some as high as 95%. A 2-44-fold expansion of AML cells was often seen. Secondary and tertiary recipients showed consistent engraftment, with most showing further AML cell expansion. Engraftment did not correlate with French-American-British subtype or cytogenetic abnormalities. However, samples with FLT3 mutations showed a higher probability of engraftment than FLT3 wild type. Importantly, animals developed organomegaly and a wasting illness consistent with advanced leukemia. We conclude that the NSG xenotransplantation model is a robust model for human AML cell engraftment, which will allow better characterization of AML biology and testing of new therapies.

Abstract
4530 Background: EAC has eluded cure even with platin-based CRT. Stratifying pts by likelihood of success is one approach to improving outcomes. We assessed whether SNPs in DNA repair paths are associated with complete pathologic response (pCR) in EAC pts who received C-based CRT followed by surgery. Methods: Patients and specimens: Pretreatment biopsy or post-CRT resection samples were obtained from pts (EAC, stage II-IVa) treated on a randomized phase II trial, E1201 (n=86), of preop CRT (RT to 45 Gy). Arm A: Preop C 30 mg/m2 + irinotecan (I) 50 mg/m2 days (d) 1, 8, 22, 29 with RT. Post-op C 30 mg/m2 + I 65 mg/m2 d 1, 8 q21 days x 3. Arm B: Preop C 30 mg/m2 + paclitaxel (P) 50 mg/m2 d 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 with RT. Post-op C 75 mg/m2 + P 175 mg/m2 d 1 q21 days x 3. Clinical outcome - pCR: (A) 14% [95% CI 5.5%, 28.5%]; (B) 16% [95% CI 6.7%, 30.1%]. Median overall survival (OS): (A) 34.9 m (months) [90% CI 23.5, not reached]; (B) 20.9 m [90% CI 17.4, 46.7]. Experimental procedure: Normal tissue was microdissected from unstained sections of paraffin-embedded tissue. DNA was extracted (Qiagen). Genotyping was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (Sequenom) for all SNPs. Each SNP was dichotomized a priori into: (1) major homozygote vs (2) minor (heterozygote plus minor homozygote) allele groups. Data analysis was performed centrally, with lab investigators blinded to clinical data. Exact logistic regression was used to derive ORs for non-pCR, using the major homozygote as the reference (2-sided p values). Results: Germline DNA was available in 68 pts; 60 were eligible and began therapy ( Table ). Conclusions: In this homogenous, well-defined cohort, the XRCC1 Arg399Gln minor allele group was associated with lower pCR (p=0.06). Lab data on a panel of additional SNPs have been collected and are under analysis for presentation at the meeting. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
e14590 Background: Pancreatic cancer (PaCa) is the 4th leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the U.S . We tried to determine whether ATM, RecQ1 gene polymorphisms correlate with gemcitabine (G) and TSER gene polymorphism with capecitabine (C) response and over all survival(OS). We also tested the hypothesis that PaCa pts homozygous for the S/S variant of the TSER will have a higher 6-month survival with C compared to historical controls. TS expression is regulated by a polymorphism in the TSER and has been shown that pts with S/S variant have high response rate and increased toxicity in colon cancer pts. ATM and recQ1 genes are involved with DNA damage response and repair and correlate with G response. Methods: DNA isolated from peripheral blood samples in 82 pts with Stage IV pancreatic cancer was tested for the TSER, ATM and RecQ1 gene polymorphisms. All patients were treated with G 1,000mg/m2 wkly for 3/4 wks. Pts homozygous for the S/S variant were treated with C, 2,000 mg/m2/day for 14 /21days. Pts were evaluated for response to therapy according to the RECIST. Results: 16 pts (19.5%) were positive for S/S variant of TSER, but only 4 (4.8%) were treated. The reasons for declining treatment were geographic, logistic or progression issues. Only 1 pt was evaluable, receiving at least 3 cycles of C . All pts needed dose reductions due to toxicities. Grade 3 hand foot syndrome, diarrhea and vomiting were dose limiting toxicities. No complete or partial responses were seen. The pt who received 3 cycles came off study due to progressive disease and the other 3 pts came of the study due to toxicities. TSER polymorphism was correlated to OS and only S/S variant was significant with a trend towards improved OS by log rank test and Kaplan Meier plot. ATM and RecQ1 gene polymorphisms subtypes did not correlate with G response and OS ( not statistically significant). Conclusions: Our study represents an initial effort to apply pharmacogenetics to PaCa therapy. 19.5% of pts had the S/S variant of the TSER polymorphism, but only 4.8% enrolled. C administration was associated with excess toxicity. The toxicities observed in this study appear to outweigh the benefit of using C in this pt population. There is no correlation between ATM and RecQ1 genotypes with OS. However the sample size is too small to draw conclusions. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with Down's syndrome (DS) are at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, few studies have investigated brain anatomy in DS individuals with AD. METHOD We compared whole brain anatomy, as measured by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in DS individuals with and without AD. We also investigated whether volumetric differences could reliably classify DS individuals according to AD status. We used volumetric MRI and manual tracing to examine regional brain anatomy in 19 DS adults with AD and 39 DS adults without AD. RESULTS DS individuals with AD had significantly smaller corrected volumes bilaterally of the hippocampus and caudate, and right amygdala and putamen, and a significantly larger corrected volume of left peripheral cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), compared to DS individuals without AD. The volume of the hippocampus and caudate nucleus correctly categorized 92% and 92% respectively of DS individuals without AD, and 75% and 80% respectively of DS individuals with AD. CONCLUSIONS DS individuals with AD have significant medial temporal and striatal volume reductions, and these may provide markers of clinical AD.

Abstract
Introduction The case report describes the rare presentation of a 79-year-old patient with a locally perforated splenic flexure tumour of the colon presenting with an apparent empyema thoracis in the absence of abdominal signs or symptoms. Case presentation Initial presentation was with a non-productive cough, anorexia and general malaise. An admission chest X-ray and subsequent computed tomographic image of the thorax showed a loculated pleural effusion consistent with an empyema. The computed tomography also showed a thickened splenic flexure. Thoracotomy was performed and a defect in the diaphragm was revealed after the abscess had been evacuated. A laparotomy was carried out at which point a tumour of the splenic flexure of the colon was found to be invading the spleen and locally perforated with subsequent collection in communication with the thorax. The tumour and spleen were resected and a transverse end colostomy was fashioned. Conclusion One must consider the diagnosis of pathology inferior to the diaphragm when an apparent empyema thoracis is encountered even in the absence of clinical signs or symptoms.

Abstract
This paper describes the development of a unique prison participatory research project, in which incarcerated women formed a research team, the research activities and the lessons learned. The participatory action research project was conducted in the main short sentence minimum/medium security women's prison located in a Western Canadian province. An ethnographic multi-method approach was used for data collection and analysis. Quantitative data was collected by surveys and analysed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data was collected from orientation package entries, audio recordings, and written archives of research team discussions, forums and debriefings, and presentations. These data and ethnographic observations were transcribed and analysed using iterative and interpretative qualitative methods and NVivo 7 software. Up to 15 women worked each day as prison research team members; a total of 190 women participated at some time in the project between November 2005 and August 2007. Incarcerated women peer researchers developed the research processes including opportunities for them to develop leadership and technical skills. Through these processes, including data collection and analysis, nine health goals emerged. Lessons learned from the research processes were confirmed by the common themes that emerged from thematic analysis of the research activity data. Incarceration provides a unique opportunity for engagement of women as expert partners alongside academic researchers and primary care workers in participatory research processes to improve their health.

Abstract
Aim:To compare Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) between people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Background review:AD is characterised by cognitive impairment. 10-15% of people with MCI progress to dementia each year. The hippocampus is involved in memory functioning and is one of the brain regions first affected by AD. MRI based hippocampal volumetric measurement enables accurate quantification of atrophy. In addition, 1H-MRS can be used to measure concentrations of brain metabolites including myoinositol (mI) and N-acetylaspartate (NAA). NAA is a proxy measure of neuronal density.Method:Subjects with AD (n=46), MCI (n=28) and controls (n=39) were scanned using a 1.5 Tesla MR system. Manual tracing of hippocampal volumes was undertaken using Measure software. 1H-MRS voxels of interest were defined in the left and right hippocampi. A point-resolved spectroscopy pulse sequence produced spectra from each voxel and clearly resolved NAA and mI peaks. Statistical analysis was undertaken using SPSS15.Results:Hippocampal volumes were significantly reduced between AD and controls (p=0.003) and between AD and MCI (p=0.001). Compared to controls, individuals with AD and MCI had a significant reduction in [NAA]. MCI showed a non-significant increase in [mI]. A positive relationship was found between hippocampal volume and [NAA] and between hippocampal volume and [mI] for MCI.Conclusions:AD is associated with decreased viable neuronal density/function (as measured by NAA) and a reduction in hippocampal volume associated with impaired cognitive functioning. The elevated [mI] in MCI may be a “tipping point” into dementia.

Abstract
An algorithm is presented for the efficient semi-automatic construction of a detailed reference standard for registration in thoracic CT. A well-distributed set of 100 landmarks is detected fully automatically in one scan of a pair to be registered. Using a custom-designed interface, observers locate corresponding anatomic locations in the second scan. The manual annotations are used to learn the relationship between the scans and after approximately twenty manual marks the remaining points are matched automatically. Inter-observer differences demonstrate the accuracy of the matching and the applicability of the reference standard is demonstrated on two different sets of registration results over 19 CT scan pairs.
