Abstract
PURPOSE Determination of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genotype is crucial in the stratification of diagnosis and prognostication in diffuse gliomas. We sought to build and validate radiomics models and clinical features incorporated nomogram for preoperative prediction of IDH mutation status and WHO grade of diffuse gliomas with L-[methyl-11C] methionine ([11C]MET) PET/CT imaging according to the 2016 WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system. METHODS Consecutive 178 preoperative [11C]MET PET/CT images were retrospectively studied for radiomics analysis. One hundred six patients from PET scanner 1 were used as training dataset, and 72 patients from PET scanner 2 were used for validation dataset. [11C]MET PET and integrated CT radiomics features were extracted, respectively; three independent predictive models were built based on PET features, CT features, and combined PET/CT features, respectively. The SelectKBest method, Spearman correlation analysis, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, and machine learning algorithms were applied for feature selection and model building. After filtering the satisfactory predictive model, key clinical features were incorporated for the nomogram establishment. RESULTS The combined [11C]MET PET/CT radiomics model, which consisted of four PET features and eight integrated CT features, was significantly associated with IDH genotype (p < 0.0001 for both training and validation datasets). Nomogram based on the [11C]MET PET/CT radiomics score, patients' age, and dichotomous tumor location status showed satisfactory discrimination capacity, and the AUC was 0.880 (95% CI, 0.726-0.998) in the training dataset and 0.866 (95% CI, 0.777-0.956) in the validation dataset. In IDH stratified WHO grade prediction, the final radiomics model consists of four PET features and two CT features had reasonable and stable differential efficacy of WHO grade II and III patients from grade IV patients in IDH-wildtype patients, and the AUC was 0.820 (95% CI, 0.541-1.000) in the training dataset and 0.766 (95% CI, 0.612-0.921) in the validation dataset. CONCLUSION [11C]MET PET radiomics features could benefit non-invasive IDH genotype prediction, and integrated CT radiomics features could enhance the efficacy. Radiomics and clinical features incorporation could establish satisfactory nomogram for clinical application. This non-invasive predictive investigation based on our consecutive cohort from two PET scanners could provide the perspective to observe the differential efficacy and the stability of radiomics-based investigation in untreated diffuse gliomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extent of resection (EOR) in glioma contributes to longer survival. The purpose of NCT01479686 was to prove whether intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) increases EOR in glioma surgery and benefit survival. METHODS Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive the iMRI (n = 161) or the conventional neuronavigation (n = 160). The primary endpoint was gross total resection (GTR); secondary outcomes reported were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS 188 high-grade gliomas (HGGs) and 133 low-grade gliomas (LGGs) were enrolled. GTR was 83.85% in the iMRI group vs. 50.00% in the control group (P < 0.0001). In 321 patients, the median PFS (mPFS) was 65.12 months in the iMRI group and 61.01 months in the control group (P = 0.0202). For HGGs, mPFS was improved in the iMRI group (19.32 vs. 13.34 months, P = 0.0015), and a trend of superior OS compared with control was observed (29.73 vs. 25.33 months, P = 0.1233). In the predefined eloquent area HGG subgroup, mPFS, and mOS were 20.47 months and 33.58 months in the iMRI vs. 12.21 months and 21.16 months in the control group (P = 0.0098; P = 0.0375, respectively). From the exploratory analyses of HGGs, residual tumor volume (TV) < 1.0 cm3 decreased the risk of survival (mPFS: 18.99 vs. 9.43 months, P = 0.0055; mOS: 29.77 vs. 18.10 months, P = 0.0042). LGGs with preoperative (pre-OP) TV > 43.1 cm3 and postoperative (post-OP) TV > 4.6 cm3 showed worse OS (P= 0.0117) CONCLUSIONS: It showed that iMRI significantly increased EOR and indicated survival benefits for HGGs, particularly eloquent HGGs. Residual TV in either HGGs or LGGs is a prognostic factor for survival.

Abstract
Astrocytoma and glioblastoma (GB) are reclassified subtypes of adult diffuse gliomas based on distinct isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation in the fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. The recurrence of gliomas is a common and inevitable challenge, and analyzing the distinct genomic alterations in astrocytoma and GB could provide insights into their progression. This study conducted a longitudinal investigation, utilizing whole-exome sequencing, on 65 paired primary/recurrent gliomas. It examined chromosome arm aneuploidies, copy number variations (CNVs) of cancer-related genes and pathway enrichments during the relapse. The veracity of these findings was verified through the integration of our data with multiple public resources and by corroborative immunohistochemistry (IHC). The results revealed a greater prevalence of aneuploidy changes and acquired CNVs in recurrent lower grade astrocytoma than in relapsed grade 4 astrocytoma and GB. Larger aneuploidy changes were predictive of an unfavorable prognosis in lower grade astrocytoma (P < 0.05). Further, patients with acquired gains of 1q, 6p or loss of 13q at recurrence had a shorter overall survival in lower grade astrocytoma (P < 0.05); however, these prognostic effects were confined in grade 4 astrocytoma and GB. Moreover, acquired gains of 12 genes (including VEGFA) on 6p during relapse were associated with unfavorable prognosis for lower grade astrocytoma patients. Notably, elevated VEGFA expression during recurrence corresponded to poorer survival, validated through IHC and CGGA data. To summarize, these findings offer valuable insights into the progression of gliomas and have implications for guiding therapeutic approaches during recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND
TTFields plus Temozolomide (TTFields/TMZ) extended survival versus TMZ alone in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients in the EF-14 trial. We report a retrospective analysis of Chinese newly diagnosed GBM patients who received TTFields combine with TMZ treatment and traditional TMZ monotherapy from May 2019 to May 2021 in Shanghai Hua Shan hospital.METHOD: Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method. A Cox proportional hazards regression model with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity score was used to assess the effect of TTFields and account for confounding factors. RESULT: In the preliminary analysis, the PFS in the TTFields/TMZ arm was 16 months (95% CI:9.6–24.6) versus 11 (95% CI: 9–12) with TMZ alone (p <0.05). Median overall survival was 21.8 months (95% CI 17.4-NA) with TTFields/TMZ versus 15 months (95% CI 13–18; HR 0.43, p <0.01) with TMZ alone. In the Multivariate analysis, Surgery type, STUPP scheme, IDH status, and TTFields use were identified as favorable prognostic factors. After PSM adjustment, the groups were similar, except that MGMT promoter methylation remained more in the TMZ group (12 v 32; P = 0.011). Upon IPTW Survival analysis, TTFields was associated with a significantly lower risk of death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.19 in OS (95% CI 0.09–0.41) and progression (HR, 0.35 (95% CI 0.14–0.91) compared with TMZ alone.
CONCLUSION
In the analysis of our single center of patients with glioblastoma, the addition of TTFields to maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy vs maintenance temozolomide alone, resulted in statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival and overall survival. These results are consistent with the outcome of EF-14.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a type of central nervous system restricted non-Hodgkin lymphoma, whose histopathological diagnosis is majorly large B cell lymphoma. To provide specific, evidence-based recommendations for medical professionals and to promote more standardized, effective and safe treatment for patients with PCNSL, a panel of experts from the Chinese Neurosurgical Society of the Chinese Medical Association and the Society of Hematological Malignancies of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association jointly developed an evidence-based consensus. After comprehensively searching literature and conducting systematic reviews, two rounds of Delphi were conducted to reach consensus on the recommendations as follows: The histopathological specimens of PCNSL patients should be obtained as safely and comprehensively as possible by multimodal tomography-guided biopsy or minimally invasive surgery. Corticosteroids should be withdrawn from, or not be administered to, patients with suspected PCNSL before biopsy if the patient's status permits. MRI (enhanced and DWI) should be performed for diagnosing and evaluating PCNSL patients where whole-body PET-CT be used at necessary time points. Mini-mental status examination can be used to assess cognitive function in the clinical management. Newly diagnosed PCNSL patients should be treated with combined high-dose methotrexate-based regimen and can be treated with a rituximab-inclusive regimen at induction therapy. Autologous stem cell transplantation can be used as a consolidation therapy. Refractory or relapsed PCNSL patients can be treated with ibrutinib with or without high-dose chemotherapy as re-induction therapy. Stereotactic radiosurgery can be used for PCNSL patients with a limited recurrent lesion who were refractory to chemotherapy and have previously received whole-brain radiotherapy. Patients with suspected primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) should be diagnosed by vitreous biopsy. PVRL or PCNSL patients with concurrent VRL can be treated with combined systemic and local therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As a novel treatment modality, tumor treating fields (TTFields) exert low-intensity, medium-frequency electric fields on tumor cells. TTFields' effectiveness and safety have been demonstrated clinically and in the real world for treating glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive primary central nervous system tumor. TTFields therapy has also been approved for the management of malignant mesothelioma, and clinical trials are ongoing for NSCLC, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other solid tumors. AREAS COVERED This article comprehensively reviews the currently described evidence of TTFields' mechanism of action. TTFields' most evident therapeutic effect is to induce cell death by disrupting mitosis. Moreover, evidence suggests at additional mechanistic complexity, such as delayed DNA repair and heightened DNA replication stress, reversible increase in cell membrane and blood-brain barrier permeability, induction of immune response, and so on. EXPERT OPINION TTFields therapy has been arising as the fourth anti-tumor treatment besides surgery, radiotherapy, and antineoplastic agents in recent years. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of TTFields are not fully understood and some concepts remain controversial. An in-depth understanding of TTFields' effects on tumor cell and tumor microenvironment would be crucial for informing research aimed at further optimizing TTFields' efficacy and developing new combination therapies for clinical applications.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) has been approved for the treatment of newly diagnosed and relapsed glioblastoma(GBM)in China in 2020. Only few TTFields data in Asia patients were reported. This retrospective analysis is aimed at investigating the efficacy, safety and the potential relationship with biomarkers of TTFields treatment in the real-world clinical practice of the Chinese glioma population.
METHODS
High-grade glioma patients who were under TTFields treatment from May 2019 to May 2021 in Shanghai Huashan Hospital were analyzed, including baseline data, efficacy data and incidence of adverse events.
RESULTS
Eighty-two patients (median age 51.0 [26.0 - 47.0] years) with high-grade glioma were enrolled, including 60 newly diagnosed GBM, 16 recurrent GBM, and 6 WHO grade III gliomas. The median time was 9.9 (4.6-15.7) months for follow-ups, median time for TTFields treatment was 4.3(1.1-20.35) months. The median compliance rate was 90% (40%-97%). For newly diagnosed GBM (n=60) and recurrent GBM (n=16), the 6-month PFS rate were 78.4% (95%CI: 63.9-87.6) and 46.7% (95%CI: 21.2- 67.8) respectively. The 10-month OS rate were 86.3% (95%CI: 69.6- 94.2) and 60.0% (95%CI: 12.6- 88.2) respectively. The 6-month PFS rate in the IDHw/TERTm population was 69.9% (95%CI: 45.9-84.9) and 78.3% (95%CI: 46.5-92.5) in the IDHw/TERTw patients with newly diagnosed GBM. 59(72%) patients had skin-related adverse reactions, and majority are grade 1-2 (grade 1-2, 69.5%; grade 3, 2.5%).
CONCLUSIONS
This is the 1st retrospective analysis done using TTFields in the treatment of high-grade gliomas in the Chinese population with the largest sample size. From our short follow up, TTFields appears good efficacy among GBM patients. The incidence of skin adverse reactions is higher comparable to published data, but mainly consisted of grade1-2. Long-term efficacy data need to be further followed-up.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) has been shown to improve the overall survival of newly diagnosed GBM (ndGBM) when combined with Temozolomide (TMZ) in the EF-14 trial. Preclinical studies suggested synergistic effects between TTFields and radiotherapy. This study is aimed to examine the safety and efficacy of combination therapy (chemoradiation concurrent with TTFields treatment) for ndGBM patients in China.
METHODS
From July 2020 to May 2021, 33 ndGBM patients were treated with combination therapy (radiation target volume following NCCN guidelines). Eight patients had transducer array removed during radiotherapy, others retained transducer array on scalp. All patients had assessment every two months by MRI scan. The adverse reactions and monthly compliance data for TTFields treatment were recorded.
RESULTS
Twenty-five patients have completed the combination therapy. Three patients retained transducer array during radiotherapy but did not limit the scalp dose (mean: 21.7Gy). As a result, Grade 2 cutaneous adverse reactions developed, and TTFields treatment was suspended. Four patients suspended TTFields treatment due to other adverse reactions. The remaining patients who had limited scalp doses (mean < 20Gy) had no suspension or delay in combination therapy due to cutaneous adverse reactions. The median time of TTFields treatment during radiotherapy is 21.24 hours/day (IQR:19.26,22.08). Two patients had progressive disease, 1 died of pulmonary infection, and 30 had stable disease. The incidence of cutaneous AE was 48.5% (16/33), Grade1: 27.2% (9/33), Grade 2: 21.2% (7/33), and Grade 3: 3% (1/33).
CONCLUSIONS
The combination therapy was well tolerated in Chinese patients with ndGBM. Removing transducer array during radiotherapy may increase the frequency of array replacement while reducing the patient's daily treatment time. However, retaining transducer array will increase cutaneous adverse reactions. Scalp dose limitation is required yet it allows a maximum duration of TTFields. Further follow-ups are ongoing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the combination of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and ¹¹C-methionine positron emission tomography (¹¹C-MET PET) could increase accurate diagnostic sensitivity for non-enhancing supratentorial gliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 2012 and December 2017, 109 patients with non-enhanced supratentorial lesions on contrast-enhanced MRI were enrolled. Each patient underwent MRS and ¹¹C-MET PET before treatment. A lesion was considered to be a glioma when either the MRS or ¹¹C-MET PET results reached the diagnostic threshold. The radiological diagnosis was compared with the pathological diagnosis or medical diagnostic criteria. RESULTS The sensitivity and specificity were 60.0% and 50.0% for MRS and 75.8% and 50.0% for ¹¹C-MET PET, respectively. Upon combining the two modalities, the sensitivity and specificity of the imaging-based diagnosis prior to surgery reached 89.5% and 42.9%, respectively. Statistically significant differences in the sensitivities were observed between the combined and individual approaches (MRS alone, 89.5% vs. 60.0%, p < 0.001; ¹¹C-MET PET alone, 89.5% vs. 75.8%, p = 0.001). However, no significant differences in specificity were observed between the combined and individual modalities. CONCLUSION The combination of MRS and ¹¹C-MET PET findings significantly increases accurate diagnostic sensitivity for non-enhancing supratentorial gliomas without significantly lowering the specificity. This finding suggests the potential of the combined MRS and ¹¹C-MET PET approach in clinical applications.

Abstract
Uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) is a mitochondrial inner membrane anion carrier and is emerging as a negative regulator of ROS production. Overexpression of UCP2 has been detected in various tumors, but its role in glioblastoma remains unclear. Using tissue microarrays and interrogations of public databases, we explored that the expression of UCP2 is upregulated in glioma, especially in GBM, and overexpression of UCP2 correlates with poor prognosis in glioma patients. To further reveal the role of UCP2 in glioma, UCP2-slienced cell lines (U251, U87MG and A172) by lentivirus were constructed to study how silenced UCP2 expression affects cellular functions in vitro, and tumorigenicity in vivo. RNA-Seq based genome and pathway analysis were performed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action of UCP2. Our results revealed that UCP2 silenced glioma cells show inhibited migration, invasiveness, clonogenicity, proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis in vitro, and weaker tumorigenicity in nude mice. Transcriptome analysis suggested a UCP2-dependent regulation of p38 MAPK (Mitogen-activated protein kinase) signaling networks, which was further validated by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Our research provides a new insight into the biological significance of UCP2 in glioma and its potential application in treatment and diagnosis.

Abstract
Purpose: We evaluated the relationship between isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status and metabolic imaging in patients with nonenhancing supratentorial diffuse gliomas using 11C-methionine positron emission tomography (11C-MET PET). Materials and Methods: Between June 2012 and November 2017, we enrolled 86 (38 women and 48 men; mean age, 41.9 ± 13.1 years [range, 8-67 years]) patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial diffuse gliomas. All patients underwent preoperative 11C-MET PET. Tumor samples were obtained and immunohistochemically analyzed for IDH1 mutation status. Results: The mutant and wild-type IDH1 diffuse gliomas had significantly different mean maximum standardized uptake value values (2.73 [95% confidence interval, CI: 2.32-3.16] vs 3.85 [95% CI: 3.22-4.51], respectively; P = .004) and mean tumor-to-background ratio (1.90 [95% CI: 1.65-2.16] vs 2.59 [95% CI: 2.17-3.04], respectively; P = .007). Conclusions: 11C-methionine PET can noninvasively evaluate the IDH1 mutation status of patients with nonenhancing supratentorial diffuse gliomas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insular lobe gliomas continue to challenge neurosurgeons due to their complex anatomical position. Transcortical and transsylvian corridors remain the primary approaches for reaching the insula, but the adoption of one technique over the other remains controversial. The authors analyzed the transcortical approach of resecting insular gliomas in the context of patient tumor location based on the Berger-Sinai classification, achievable extents of resection (EORs), overall survival (OS), and postsurgical neurological outcome. METHODS The authors studied 255 consecutive cases of insular gliomas that underwent transcortical tumor resection in their division. Tumor molecular pathology, location, EOR, postoperative neurological outcome for each insular zone, and the accompanying OS were incorporated into the analysis to determine the value of this surgical approach. RESULTS Lower-grade insular gliomas (LGGs) were more prevalent (63.14%). Regarding location, giant tumors (involving all insular zones) were most prevalent (58.82%) followed by zone I+IV (anterior) tumors (20.39%). In LGGs, tumor location was an independent predictor of survival (p = 0.003), with giant tumors demonstrating shortest patient survival (p = 0.003). Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation was more likely to be associated with giant tumors (p < 0.001) than focal tumors located in a regional zone. EOR correlated with survival in both LGG (p = 0.001) and higher-grade glioma (HGG) patients (p = 0.008). The highest EORs were achieved in anterior-zone LGGs (p = 0.024). In terms of developing postoperative neurological deficits, patients with giant tumors were more susceptible (p = 0.038). Postoperative transient neurological deficit was recorded in 12.79%, and permanent deficit in 15.70% of patients. Patients who developed either transient or permanent postsurgical neurological deficits exhibited poorer survival (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The transcortical surgical approach can achieve maximal tumor resection in all insular zones. In addition, the incorporation of adjunct technologies such as multimodal brain imaging and mapping of cortical and subcortical eloquent brain regions into the transcortical approach favors postoperative neurological outcomes, and prolongs patient survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk factors of tumor-related epilepsy (TRE) and the relationship between TRE and functional/survival outcomes in patients with high-grade glioma (HGG). METHODS The clinical data of 587 patients with HGG were retrospectively analyzed. A χ2 test and logistic multiple-regression analysis were used to analyze factors associated with TRE. Logistic and Cox regression were used to analyze factors that may influence functional and survival outcomes. RESULTS Glioma location in temporal (odds ratio [OR], 0.439; P = 0.04) and parietal lobes (OR, 0.092; P = 0.02) were independent protective factors of preoperative epilepsy, compared with gliomas of frontal lobe. Preoperative epilepsy (OR, 9.290; P < 0.001) and dominant hemispheric location (OR, 2.616; P = 0.04) were independent risk factors of postoperative epilepsy. On univariate analysis, patients with preoperative epilepsy had longer progression-free survival (PFS) (P = 0.001) and overall survival (OS) (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis further confirmed that preoperative epilepsy was an independent protective factor of OS (hazard ratio, 0.587; P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS In patients with HGG, preoperative epilepsy is significantly associated with tumor involvement of the frontal lobe, whereas postoperative epilepsy is associated with preoperative epilepsy and dominant hemispheric location. Also, patients with HGG with preoperative epilepsy have better PFS and OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need for an imaging-based tool for measuring vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and overall survival (OS) in patients with glioma. PURPOSE To assess the correlation between cerebral blood flow (CBF), measured by 3D pseudo-continuous arterial spin-labeling (3D-ASL), and VEGF expression in gliomas on the basis of coregistered localized biopsy, and investigate whether CBF correlated with survival month (SM) in glioma patients. STUDY TYPE Prospective cohort. SUBJECTS Thirty-seven patients with gliomas from whom 63 biopsy specimens were obtained. SEQUENCE 3D-ASL acquired with a 3.0T MR unit. ASSESSMENT Biopsy specimens were grouped as high-grade (HGG) or low-grade glioma (LGG). CBF measurements were spatially matched with VEGF expression by coregistered localized biopsies, and the CBF value was correlated with quantitative VEGF expression for each specimen. Patients' survival information was derived and connected with CBF. STATISTICAL TESTS Patients' OS was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox-regression methods. VEGF expression and CBF were compared in both LGG and HGG. The Spearman rank correlation was calculated for CBF and VEGF expression, SM. Significance level, P < 0.05. RESULTS CBF-derived 3D-ASL positively correlated significantly with VEGF expression in both LGG (31 specimens) and HGG (32 specimens), r = 0.604 (P < 0.001) and r = 0.665 (P < 0.001), respectively. LGG and HGG together gave a correlation coefficient r = 0.728 (P < 0.001). Median survival for LGG and HGG patients was 34.19 and 17.17 months, respectively (P = 0.037); CBF value negatively correlated significantly with SM with r = -0.714 (P < 0.001) regardless of glioma grade. CBF was an independent risk factor for OS with HR = 1.027 (P = 0.044), 1.028 (P = 0.010) for univariate/multivariate regression analysis. DATA CONCLUSION CBF determined by 3D-ASL correlates with VEGF expression in glioma and is an independent risk factor for OS in these patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 3 J. Magn.

Abstract
Treatment of tumor-related epilepsy (TRE), especially for tumors near critical areas, requires surgeons to strike a balance between the epileptic benefit and functional outcome after surgery. Here, we present a case in which multimodal evaluation facilitated the achievement of such surgical balance. Informed patient consent was obtained. A 17-yr-old female presented with seizure attacks for 2 yr. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right parietal mass lesion with hypointense signal on T1W imaging, hyperintense signal on T2W imaging, and homogeneous enhancement. Carbamazepine and valproate administration were unable to control the intermittent seizures. From the patient's history and imaging, the initial diagnosis was refractory TRE. Whether lesionectomy would achieve seizure freedom in this case was not certain. Therefore, dESI (dense array EEG source imaging) was used to localize the epileptic zone preoperatively; results showed that the epileptic zone was very close to the lesion in the primary motor cortex. Surgery was carried out under awake-anesthesia, with the aid of multimodal neuronavigation, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, and intraoperative MRI evaluation. A gross total lesion resection was achieved while preserving critical motor areas. Histopathology revealed ganglioglioma grade I diagnosis. No motor deficits following surgery were detected except slight increase of muscle tension in the right lower limb. At 6-mo follow-up, the patient was without any motor impairment or any other neurological deficits and completely seizure-free with the antiepileptic drug Carbamazepine 1200 mg/day.

Abstract
Resection of insular tumors in the dominant hemisphere poses a significant risk of postoperative motor and language deficits. The authors present a case in which intraoperative awake mapping and multi-modal imaging was used to help preserve function while resecting a dominant insular glioma. The patient, a 55-year-old man, came to the clinic after experiencing sudden onset of numbness in the right limbs for 4 months. Preoperative MRI revealed a nonenhancing lesion in the left insular lobe. Gross-total tumor resection was achieved through the transcortical approach, and the patient recovered without language or motor deficits. Informed patient consent was obtained.

Abstract
The role of cerebellum and cerebro-cerebellar system in neural plasticity induced by cerebral gliomas involving language network has long been ignored. Moreover, whether or not the process of reorganization is different in glioma patients with different growth kinetics remains largely unknown. To address this issue, we utilized preoperative structural and resting-state functional MRI data of 78 patients with left cerebral gliomas involving language network areas, including 46 patients with low-grade glioma (LGG, WHO grade II), 32 with high-grade glioma (HGG, WHO grade III/IV), and 44 healthy controls. Spontaneous brain activity, resting-state functional connectivity and gray matter volume alterations of the cerebellum were examined. We found that both LGG and HGG patients exhibited bidirectional alteration of brain activity in language-related cerebellar areas. Brain activity in areas with increased alteration was significantly correlated with the language and MMSE scores. Structurally, LGG patients exhibited greater gray matter volume in regions with increased brain activity, suggesting a structure-function coupled alteration in cerebellum. Furthermore, we observed that cerebellar regions with decreased brain activity exhibited increased functional connectivity with contralesional cerebro-cerebellar system in LGG patients. Together, our findings provide empirical evidence for a vital role of cerebellum and cerebro-cerebellar circuit in neural plasticity following lesional damage to cerebral language network. Moreover, we highlight the possible different reorganizational mechanisms of brain functional connectivity underlying different levels of behavioral impairments in LGG and HGG patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate long-term functional and survival outcomes of patients with glioma after intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) application. METHODS A total of 856 patients with glioma, who underwent tumor resection between October 2010 and March 2016, were included in this retrospective cohort study. All patients were stratified into IONM (439 patients) and non-IONM groups (417 patients). The primary outcome measured was overall survival (OS), and the secondary outcome measured was rate of late neurologic deficits. Analyses were performed using univariate tests and multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS The 2 cohorts were well balanced with respect to baseline characteristics. Univariate survival analysis showed longer OS in the IONM group than that in the non-IONM group (P = 0.036), especially in patients with high-grade astrocytic tumor (P = 0.034). The IONM group showed a lower rate of neurologic deficits than did the non-IONM group. Multivariate analysis showed that IONM was a favorable factor of OS (odds ratio, 0.776; P = 0.046) and late neurologic function (odds ratio, 0.583; P = 0.039). Dominant hemispheric and eloquent location of glioma had no association with OS. CONCLUSIONS Application of IONM is beneficial to long-term functional and oncologic outcomes of patients with glioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resection of insula-basal ganglia (IBG) gliomas is challenging because of their deep location and vicinity to critical structures, whereas diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) can noninvasively delineate the tracks of white matter fibers. This study aims to evaluate the role of cortico-spinal tract (CST) positions in prediction of the prognosis of patients with IBG gliomas. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 34 patients with IBG gliomas. DTT was used to reconstruct the CSTs for all patients, and the IBG gliomas were classified into three types (type I-III) based on the shifted patterns of the CSTs. RESULTS The number of patients with type I IBG gliomas was 12 (35.3%), which was equal to the number of patients with type II IBG gliomas, and 10 cases (29.4%) presented with type III IBG gliomas. The six-month KPS score was significantly lower in the type III IBG group than that in the type I group (t=-11.43, P=0.013) and the type II group (t=-9.97, P=0.033). Postoperative MRI demonstrated that gross total or near total resection was achieved in 76.5% (26 cases) of all of the patients. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the proposed classification of IBG gliomas can be used for predicting the long-term postoperative outcome profiles of IBG glioma patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the current situation and issues related to the development of the public health informatics (PHI) workforce in provincial and prefectural centers for disease control and prevention (CDCs) in China, and to describe the corresponding strategies to address these issues for the future. STUDY DESIGN National cross-sectional study. METHODS One thousand two hundred and eighty-one respondents were selected at random from provincial and prefectural CDCs. The survey used a self-administered, structured questionnaire with an online data collection tool that integrated data quality control and user management. The questionnaire was divided into seven main categories. Score percentage of satisfaction and proportion in each part were calculated. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data, stratifying by country region, CDC level, job role and educational level. RESULTS One hundred and sixty staff from provincial CDCs and 1121 staff from prefectural CDCs were selected. Only 7.4% (33/445) of prefectural CDCs were not involved in this survey, due to lack of PHI practitioners. CDC staff in the eastern region were predominantly aged 30-39 years (39.5%), which was much younger compared with the other regions (P = 0.0012). Only 34 respondents (2.7%) had academic majors in both health and information technology. More staff had Master's degrees and a higher level of education (18.7%) in the eastern region compared with the other regions (P < 0.0001). Staff in the eastern region in high-level positions and with a higher level of education were more knowledgeable about PHI strategy. Prefectural CDC staff were more satisfied with their work and training than provincial CDC staff. In the eastern region, 34.9% of staff were hired through competitive recruitment, and 57.8% of staff had received a job description with detailed information about their responsibilities, which was higher than in the other regions. Staff in the western region were more likely to leave if a better job became available (37.7%) compared with staff in the other regions (P = 0.0116). CONCLUSION This study found regional disparities in PHI workforce development, possibly related to disparities in overall regional development. Findings showed a severe shortage of staff with a background in PHI, and occupational development paths were clearly lacking. Based on this study of current workforce issues, a comprehensive strategy for PHI workforce development in China has been described.

Abstract
Chinese processing has been suggested involving distinct brain areas from English. However, current functional localization studies on Chinese speech processing use mostly "indirect" techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography, lacking direct evidence by means of electrocortical recording. In this study, awake craniotomies in 66 Chinese-speaking glioma patients provide a unique opportunity to directly map eloquent language areas. Intraoperative electrocortical stimulation was conducted and the positive sites for speech arrest, anomia, and alexia were identified separately. With help of stereotaxic neuronavigation system and computational modeling, all positive sites elicited by stimulation were integrated and a series of two- and three-dimension Chinese language probability maps were built. We performed statistical comparisons between the Chinese maps and previously derived English maps. While most Chinese speech arrest areas located at typical language production sites (i.e., 50% positive sites in ventral precentral gyrus, 28% in pars opercularis and pars triangularis), which also serve English production, an additional brain area, the left middle frontal gyrus (Brodmann's areas 6/9), was found to be unique in Chinese production (P < 0.05). Moreover, Chinese speakers' inferior ventral precentral gyrus (Brodmann's area 6) was used more than that in English speakers. Our finding suggests that Chinese involves more perisylvian region (extending to left middle frontal gyrus) than English. This is the first time that direct evidence supports cross-cultural neurolinguistics differences in human beings. The Chinese language atlas will also helpful in brain surgery planning for Chinese-speakers.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To investigate the blood-based DNA methylation of repair genes including LIG4, XRCC4, XRCC5, XRCC6 and XRCC7 that involved in non-homologous end-joining (NEHJ) DNA repair pathway in patients with glioma. Blood samples were obtained from 114 glioma patients, 96 normal controls, and 81 glioma patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Blood-based DNA methylation of the five NHEJ repair genes was assayed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP). The DNA methylation level of XRCC5 and XRCC7 in glioma group are significantly higher than those of normal group (P<0.001). Moreover, radiotherapy treatment significantly increased methylation level of XRCC5 and XRCC7 compared to glioma group. No significant difference for the methylation of the other three genes, LIG4, XRCC4 and XRCC6 were detected among three groups. IN CONCLUSION our findings indicate that DNA methylation modification plays an important role to regulate the gene expression of XRCC5 and XRCC7, from the results that the gene methylation level of the glioma group is higher than that of the normal group. Increased methylation of XRCC5 and XRCC7 in blood samples of glioma patients and patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy suggests that blood-based methylation level of XRCC5 and XRCC7 could be a potential indicator for evaluating of the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for glioma patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic value of multimodal Magnetic Resonance (MR) Image in the stereotactic biopsy of cerebral gliomas, and investigate its implications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients with cerebral gliomas underwent (1)H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS)- and intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (iMRI)-supported stereotactic biopsy, and 23 patients underwent only the preoperative MRI-guided biopsy. The diagnostic yield, morbidity and mortality rates were analyzed. In addition, 20 patients underwent subsequent tumor resection, thus the diagnostic accuracy of the biopsy was further evaluated. RESULTS The diagnostic accuracies of biopsies evaluated by tumor resection in the trial groups were better than control groups (92.3% and 42.9%, respectively, p = 0.031). The diagnostic yield in the trial groups was better than the control groups, but the difference was not statistically significant (100% and 82.6%, respectively, p = 0.05). The morbidity and mortality rates were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Multimodal MR image-guided glioma biopsy is practical and valuable. This technique can increase the diagnostic accuracy in the stereotactic biopsy of cerebral gliomas. Besides, it is likely to increase the diagnostic yield but requires further validation.

Abstract
The transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) pathway plays a key role in oncogenesis of advanced cancers, involving the non-Smad and Smad pathways. Meanwhile, nucleolin on the cell surface has been also reported to affect activation of signaling pathways. However, the effect of cell surface nucleolin on TGF-β pathway in glioblastoma is not still understood. Here, using antibodies of nucleolin and TGF-β receptor I (TβR-I), we observed blocking of either nucleolin or TβR-I inhibited the phosphorylation of CrkL, Erk1/2, and Smad2. Using nucleolin siRNA, nucleolin knockdown was also identified to suppress the expression of p-CrkL, p-Erk1/2, and p-Smad2. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation revealed the interaction between cell surface nucleolin and TβR-I on the U87 cell membrane. In addition, U87 cell wound-healing, soft-agar and MTT assay also showed si-nucleolin could obviously impair wound closure (p < 0.001), colony formation (p < 0.001) and cell growth (p < 0.001). In conclusion, nucleolin promotes and regulates the TGF-β pathway by interacting with TβR-I and is required for initiation and activation of TGF-β signaling. Thus, nucleolin could be a key factor in glioblastoma pathogenesis and considered a therapeutic target, which may also mediate more signaling pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperatively acquired diffusion tensor image (DTI) and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) have been proved to be effective in providing more anatomical and functional information; however, the brain deformation induced by brain shift and tumor resection severely impairs the correspondence between the image space and the patient space in image-guided neurosurgery. METHOD To address the brain deformation, we developed a hybrid non-rigid registration method to register high-field preoperative MRI with low-field intra-operative MRI in order to recover the deformation induced by brain shift and tumor resection. The registered DTI and BOLD are fused with low-field intra-operative MRI for image-guided neurosurgery. RESULTS The proposed hybrid registration method was evaluated by comparing the landmarks predicted by the hybrid registration method with the landmarks identified in the low-field intra-operative MRI for 10 patients. The prediction error of the hybrid method is 1.92±0.54 mm, and the compensation accuracy is 74.3±5.0%. Compared to the landmarks far from the resection region, those near the resection region demonstrated a higher compensation accuracy (P-value=.003) although these landmarks had larger initial displacements. CONCLUSIONS The proposed hybrid registration method is able to bring preoperatively acquired BOLD and DTI into the operating room and compensate for the deformation to augment low-field intra-operative MRI with rich anatomical and functional information.

Abstract
Anisotropic chemical etching is an important means for characterizing the polarity and defect density of single crystals. In this letter, we present the results of our studies on the etching of bulk AlN crystals in aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. The nitrogen polarity (0001) basal plane initially etched rapidly, while the aluminum polarity basal plane, and prismatic (100) planes were not etched. The etch rate of the nitrogen polarity basal plane eventually decreased to zero, as the surface became completely covered with hexagonal hillocks which were bounded by {101} planes. The hillock density for the self-seeded AlN crystals studied was typically in the range of 5×107cm−2 to 109cm−2. From our analysis of etched AlN crystals, we infer that freely nucleated crystals predominately have the nitrogen to aluminum direction pointing out from the nucleation surface, that is the ends of the AlN crystals facing the source are aluminum polarity.

Abstract
Background The marginal delineation of gliomas cannot be defined by conventional imaging due to their infiltrative growth pattern. Here we investigate the relationship between changes in glioma metabolism by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) and histopathological findings in order to determine an optimal threshold value of choline/N-acetyl-aspartate (Cho/NAA) that can be used to define the extent of glioma spread. Method Eighteen patients with different grades of glioma were examined using 1H-MRSI. Needle biopsies were performed under the guidance of neuronavigation prior to craniotomy. Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to evaluate the accuracy of sampling. Haematoxylin and eosin, and immunohistochemical staining with IDH1, MIB-1, p53, CD34 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibodies were performed on all samples. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between Cho/NAA and MIB-1, p53, CD34, and the degree of tumour infiltration. The clinical threshold ratio distinguishing tumour tissue in high-grade (grades III and IV) glioma (HGG) and low-grade (grade II) glioma (LGG) was calculated. Results In HGG, higher Cho/NAA ratios were associated with a greater probability of higher MIB-1 counts, stronger CD34 expression, and tumour infiltration. Ratio threshold values of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 appeared to predict the specimens containing the tumour with respective probabilities of 0.38, 0.60, 0.79, 0.90 in HGG and 0.16, 0.39, 0.67, 0.87 in LGG. Conclusions HGG and LGG exhibit different spectroscopic patterns. Using 1H-MRSI to guide the extent of resection has the potential to improve the clinical outcome of glioma surgery.

Abstract
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are diagnosed by immunodetection of disease-associated prion protein (PrP(d)). The distribution of PrP(d) within the body varies with the time-course of infection and between species, during interspecies transmission, as well as with prion strain. Mink are susceptible to a form of TSE known as transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME), presumed to arise due to consumption of feed contaminated with a single prion strain of ruminant origin. After extended passage of TME isolates in hamsters, two strains emerge, HY and DY, each of which is associated with unique structural isoforms of PrP(TME) and of which only the HY strain is associated with accumulation of PrP(TME) in lymphoid tissues. Information on the structural nature and lymphoid accumulation of PrP(TME) in mink is limited. In this study, 13 mink were challenged by intracerebral inoculation using late passage TME inoculum, after which brain and lymphoid tissues were collected at preclinical and clinical time points. The distribution and molecular nature of PrP(TME) was investigated by techniques including blotting of paraffin wax-embedded tissue and epitope mapping by western blotting. PrP(TME) was detected readily in the brain and retropharyngeal lymph node during preclinical infection, with delayed progression of accumulation within other lymphoid tissues. For comparison, three mink were inoculated by the oral route and examined during clinical disease. Accumulation of PrP(TME) in these mink was greater and more widespread, including follicles of rectoanal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. Western blot analyses revealed that PrP(TME) accumulating in the brain of mink is structurally most similar to that accumulating in the brain of hamsters infected with the DY strain. Collectively, the results of extended passage in mink are consistent with the presence of only a single strain of TME, the DY strain, capable of inducing accumulation of PrP(TME) in the lymphoid tissues of mink but not in hamsters. Thus, mink are a relevant animal model for further study of this unique strain, which ultimately may have been introduced through consumption of a TSE of ruminant origin.

Abstract
Malignant gliomas recur even after extensive surgery and chemo-radiotherapy. Although a relatively novel chemotherapeutic agent, temozolomide (TMZ), has demonstrated promising activity against gliomas, the effects last only a few months and drug resistance develops thereafter in many cases. It has been acknowledged that glioma cells respond to TMZ treatment by undergoing G2/M arrest, but not apoptosis. Here we demonstrate a phase-specific chemotherapy resistance due to cellular prion protein (PrPc) in human glioma cells upon TMZ treatment. TMZ-induced G2/M-arrested cultures show an upregulation of PrPc expression and are more resistant, whereas G1/S-phase cells that show decreased levels of PrPc are more sensitive to apoptosis. Furthermore, an investigation into the biological significance of PrPc association with par-4 provided the first evidence of a relationship between the endogenous levels of PrPc and the resistance of glioma cells to the apoptotic effects of TMZ. Upon TMZ treatment, PrPc exerts its antiapoptotic activity by inhibiting PKA-mediated par-4 phosphorylation that are important for par-4 activation, nuclear entry and initiation of apoptosis. In context with cell cycle-dependent responses to chemotherapy, the data from this study suggest the possibility of exploiting the PrPc-dependent pathway to improve the efficacy of TMZ-based regimen for patients with gliomas.

Abstract
Background Pituitary adenomas, the third most common intracranial tumor, comprise nearly 16.7% of intracranial neoplasm and 25%-44% of pituitary adenomas are prolactinomas. Prolactinoma represents a complex heterogeneous mixture of cells including prolactin (PRL), endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and other stromal cells, making it difficult to dissect the molecular and cellular mechanisms of prolactin cells in pituitary tumorigenesis through high-throughout-omics analysis. Our newly developed immuno-laser capture microdissection (LCM) method would permit rapid and reliable procurement of prolactin cells from this heterogeneous tissue. Thus, prolactin cell specific molecular events involved in pituitary tumorigenesis and cell signaling can be approached by proteomic analysis. Results Proteins from immuno-LCM captured prolactin cells were digested; resulting peptides were separated by two dimensional-nanoscale liquid chromatography (2D-nanoLC/MS) and characterized by tandem mass spectrometry. All MS/MS spectrums were analyzed by SEQUEST against the human International Protein Index database and a specific prolactinoma proteome consisting of 2243 proteins was identified. This collection of identified proteins by far represents the largest and the most comprehensive database of proteome for prolactinoma. Category analysis of the proteome revealed a widely unbiased access to various proteins with diverse functional characteristics. Conclusions This manuscript described a more comprehensive proteomic profile of prolactinomas compared to other previous published reports. Thanks to the application of immuno-LCM combined with online two-dimensional nano-scale liquid chromatography here permitted identification of more proteins and, to our best knowledge, generated the largest prolactinoma proteome. This enlarged proteome would contribute significantly to further understanding of prolactinoma tumorigenesis which is crucial to the management of prolactinomas.

Abstract
Laser capture microdissection (LCM) technology combined with immunohistochemistry (immuno-LCM) is a valuable tool to obtain specific target cell populations and therefore this technique enables more accurate proteomic profile. In this study, we optimized the regular immuno-LCM technique to isolate and stain pure prolactin cells from either normal human pituitary (n=6) or prolactioma (n=11). Compared with the routine procedure, more intense and specific staining could be obtained when sections were pretreated with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 4 min. Interestingly, longer pretreatment (0.2% Triton X-100 for 10 min) or higher concentration (2% Triton X-100 for 4 and 10 min) greatly impaired labeling intensity and cell shape. Further scanning electron microscope study revealed that the component extracted from the cell surface by Triton X-100 was lipid. Using the optimized immuno-LCM technique, more pure prolactin cells could be isolated and prepared for further proteomic analysis. Taken together, we reported an optimized immuno-LCM technique that could effectively dissect pure target cells in different type pituitary adenomas for further proteomics analysis.

Abstract
Malignant melanomas often harbor activating mutations in BRAF (V600E) or, less frequently, in NRAS (Q61R). Intriguingly, the same mutations have been detected at higher incidences in benign nevi, which are largely composed of senescent melanocytes. Overexpression of BRAF(V600E) or NRAS(Q61R) in human melanocytes in vitro has been shown to induce senescence, although via different mechanisms. How oncogene-induced senescence is overcome during melanoma progression remains unclear. Here, we report that in the majority of analysed BRAF(V600E)- or NRAS(Q61R)-expressing melanoma cells, C-MYC depletion induced different yet overlapping sets of senescence phenotypes that are characteristic of normal melanocytes undergoing senescence due to overexpression of BRAF(V600E) or NRAS(Q61R), respectively. These senescence phenotypes were p16(INK4A)- or p53-independent, however, several of them were suppressed by genetic or pharmacological inhibition of BRAF(V600E) or phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathways, including rapamycin-mediated inhibition of mTOR-raptor in NRAS(Q61R)-expressing melanoma cells. Reciprocally, overexpression of C-MYC in normal melanocytes suppressed BRAF(V600E)-induced senescence more efficiently than NRAS(Q61R)-induced senescence, which agrees with the generally higher rates of activating mutations in BRAF than NRAS gene in human cutaneous melanomas. Our data suggest that one of the major functions of C-MYC overexpression in melanoma progression is to continuous suppress BRAF(V600E)- or NRAS(Q61R)-dependent senescence programs.

Abstract
A major role for c-Myc in the proliferation of normal cells is attributed to its ability to promote progression through G(1) and into S phase of the cell cycle. The absolute requirement of c-Myc for cell cycle progression in human tumor cells has not been comprehensively addressed. In the present work, we used a lentiviral-based short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression vector to stably reduce c-Myc expression in a large number of human tumor cell lines and in three different types of normal human cells. In all cases, cell proliferation was severely inhibited, with normal cells ultimately undergoing G(0)/G(1) growth arrest. In contrast, tumor cells demonstrated a much more variable cell cycle response with cells from several lines accumulating in S or G(2)/M phases. Moreover, in some tumor lines, the phase of cell cycle arrest caused by inhibition of c-Myc could be altered by depleting tumor suppressor protein p53 or its transcriptional target p21(CIP/WAF). Our data suggest that, as in the case of normal cells, c-Myc is essential for sustaining proliferation of human tumor cells. However its rate-limiting role in cell cycle control is variable and is reliant upon the status of other cell cycle regulators.

Abstract
Sections of medulla oblongata, taken at the level of the obex, palatine tonsil and medial retropharyngeal lymph node from 10,269 captive Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), were examined by immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal antibody for the prion protein associated with the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cervids, chronic wasting disease (PrP(CWD)). The protein was detected in 226 of them. On the basis of the anatomical location of the deposits in the brainstem of 183 elk, four distinct patterns of distribution of PrP(CWD) within the parasympathetic region of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve and the adjacent nuclei were observed. Mild gross lesions of chronic wasting disease (serous atrophy of fat) were observed in only three elk, all with spongiform degeneration; the other elk were considered to be in the preclinical stage of the disease. In contrast with the relatively predictable distribution of prion protein (PrP) in the brain and cranial nodes of sheep and mule deer, the distribution of PrP(CWD) in the brain and nodes of the elk was more variable and unrelated to their PrP genotype. One hundred and fifty-five of the 226 positive elk had deposits of PrP(CWD) in the brainstem and lymphoid tissues, 43 had deposits only in the lymphoid tissue and 28 had deposits only in the brainstem.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether early treatment with ionizing radiation and/or chronic magnetic field (MF) exposure affected body weight in female mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Weanling C57BL/6 female mice were irradiated with four equal weekly cobalt-60 exposures (total cumulative doses: 3.0, 4.0, 5.1Gy) and/or received chronic lifetime exposure to 1.4 mT 60 Hz circularly polarized MF or ambient MF. The body weights of 2280 mice were recorded at 35 age intervals, and analysis of variance was used to compare the mean differences from baseline weights between treatment groups and sham-exposed controls. RESULTS A highly statistically significant effect of ionizing radiation on body weight was observed at 28 age intervals (p < or = 0.001), and for MF exposure at 10 age intervals (p < or = 0.001). During the young adult growth phase, mice exposed only to MF exhibited < or =0.5 g greater weight gain relative to sham-exposed controls (p = 0.0001). The effect of ionizing radiation alone was inversely related to dose, with the largest weight increases observed in all of the irradiated groups after 9-12 months (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Treatment with split-dose ionizing radiation at an early age and chronic exposure to a residential power frequency MF were found to produce small but significant increases in body weight.

Abstract
Scrapie is a naturally occurring prion (PrP) disease causing a fatal neurodegenerative disorder in sheep and goats. Previous studies suggest that scrapie is transmitted naturally through exposure to the scrapie agent in wasted placentas of infected ewes. This study determined the distribution and biochemical properties of PrP cellular (PrP-C) and the distribution of PrP scrapie (PrP-Sc) in reproductive, placental, and selected fetal tissues and fetal fluids in sheep. Glycosylated, N-terminally truncated, proteinase K-sensitive PrP-C with apparent molecular masses of 23-37 kDa was present in reproductive, placental, and fetal tissues and fetal fluids. PrP-C was low or undetectable in intercotyledonary chorioallantois, amnion, urachus, amniotic fluid, and fetal urine. In pregnant ewes, cotyledonary chorioallantois, allantoic fluid, and caruncular endometrium contained higher levels of PrP-C than did intercaruncular endometrium, myometrium, oviduct, ovary, fetal bladder, or fetal kidney. Caruncular endometrial PrP-C was up-regulated during pregnancy. Despite the wide distribution of PrP-C in reproductive, placental, and selected fetal tissues and fetal fluid, PrP-Sc was detected only in caruncular endometrium and cotyledonary chorioallantois of pregnant scrapie-infected ewes. The embryo/fetus may not be exposed to scrapie in utero because it is separated physically from PrP-positive allantois and chorioallantois by PrP-negative amnion.

Abstract
We recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) in 15 subjects in order to elicit a N270 of arithmetic conflict. Subjects calculated an arithmetic problem and matched their calculation result to an answer digit. They pressed a button when the presented digit is a true answer (condition 1) and pressed another button when the answer is false (condition 2). ERP components of P90, N130, P180, N200 and late positive component (LPC) were recorded in condition 1. In condition 2, N270 was elicited between N200 and LPC and it peaked at approximately 270 ms (268.6 +/- 29.0 ms at Cz). The peak latency of LPC in condition 2 (405.7 +/- 51.3 ms) is significantly delayed than condition 1 (307.5 +/- 22.7 ms). N270 reflects the endogenous conflict processing in human brain.

Abstract
There are three isoforms of arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase in mammals: platelet, leukocyte, and epidermal types. We found in this study that the leukocyte-type enzyme was present in rat pineal gland, lung, spleen, aorta, adrenal gland, spinal cord, and pancreas, as assessed by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the enzyme was localized in macrophages in lung and spleen, alpha-cells of pancreatic islet, zona glomerulosa cells of adrenal cortex, and neuronal cells of spinal cord and superior cervical ganglion. The presence of the 12-lipoxygenase in pancreatic alpha-cells was confirmed by glucagon staining in a consecutive section. We overexpressed the leukocyte-type 12-lipoxygenase cDNA in a glucagon-secreting alphaTC clone 6 cell line that had been established from a transgenic mouse. Glucagon secretion was stimulated by approximately twofold in the 12-lipoxygenase-expressing cells compared to the mock-transfected and original cells. The results suggest that the 12-lipoxygenase of the leukocyte type augments glucagon secretion from pancreatic islets.

Abstract
This study assessed the effect of chronic exposure to a 60 Hz circularly polarized magnetic field on the occurrence of ionizing radiation-induced lymphoma and other hematopoietic neoplasia in mice. Female C57BL/6 mice received lifetime exposure to either a magnetic field flux density of 1.42 mT for 18 h/day, or an ambient magnetic field of 0.13 microT. Beginning on the first day of magnetic field exposure, 1710 mice were treated with one of three levels of split-dose Cobalt-60 gamma-radiation (cumulative 3.0, 4.0 or 5.1 Gy). The remaining 570 mice received sham irradiation treatment. Sections from 10 lymphoid tissues were evaluated histopathologically for hematopoietic neoplasia. The primary statistical analysis used the Poly3 method to compare lymphoma incidences in magnetic field (MF)-exposed and control mice. Secondary analyses used the Cox proportional hazards model to analyze incidence rates for mortality and development of specific types of neoplasia. The mortality incidence rate was increased by ionizing radiation treatment, and all neoplasms were observed sooner in irradiated mice. However, the lifetime incidence of hematopoietic neoplasia was similar in all experimental groups, including those that were not exposed to ionizing radiation. Chronic exposure to MFs did not affect the mortality incidence rates and did not change the relative incidences of hematopoietic neoplasia in mice that received the same ionizing radiation treatment, with the exception of a marginally significant reduced relative risk of 0.97 (P = 0.05) for lymphoblastic lymphoma in mice exposed to a magnetic field and treated with 5.1 Gy. Lymphomas and histiocytic sarcomas were first observed approximately 50 days sooner in mice that were exposed to magnetic fields but not ionizing radiation, although this comparison was not statistically significant and the incidence of hematopoietic neoplasia in these mice was not different from that of mice in the 0 T/0 Gy group.

Abstract
The stimulating methods of prior studies on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) elicited by acupoint stimulus had involved surface electrodes, while the clinical practice of acupuncture is mostly performed by inserting the acupuncture needle inside the body. Clinical observations show that there are often some special sensations when LI-4 is needled. To observe if the SEPs produced by acupoint acupuncture had a distinguishing property, we studied the SEPs elicited by electrical acupuncture after the acupuncture needle was inserted into LI-4 and its control point, and then mapped them with the 128-channel Electric Brain Signal Image system. We also compared this to SEPs by median nerve stimuli. Results showed that the most interesting finding was the marked differences of N1-P1 and N2-P2 amplitude between SEPs at LI-4 (SEP-LI) and its control point (SEP-CP), which were in the opposite direction. Marked differences were also found between latencies and amplitudes of the SEPs elicited by acupuncture and by median nerve stimulus (SEP-M). The differences between SEP-LI and SEP-CP might be due to the additional effects of the activation of nerve endings and muscle spindles in LI-4 to the SEPs formed by the activation of superficial and deep radial nerves during electrical acupuncture. The differences between SEPs to acupoint and median nerve stimuli might be mainly due to the different distances from the stimulated regions to the cerebral cortex, the diversity and the number of activated fibers.

Abstract
We present a case study in the analysis of the prognostic effects of anaemia and other covariates on the local recurrence of head and neck cancer in patients who have been treated with radiation therapy. Because it is believed that a large fraction of the patients are cured by the therapy, we use a failure time mixture model for the outcomes, which simultaneously models both the relationship of the covariates to cure and the relationship of the covariates to local recurrence times for subjects who are not cured. A problematic feature of the data is that two covariates of interest having missing values, so that only 75 per cent of the subjects have complete data. We handle the missing-data problem by jointly modelling the covariates and the outcomes, and then fitting the model to all of the data, including the incomplete cases. We compare our approach to two traditional methods for handling missingness, that is, complete-case analysis and the use of an indicator variable for missingness. The comparison with complete-case analysis demonstrates gains in efficiency for joint modelling as well as sensitivity of some results to the method used to handle missing data. The use of an indicator variable yields results that are very similar to those from joint modelling for our data. We also compare the results obtained for the mixture model with results obtained for a standard (non-mixture) survival model. It is seen that the mixture model separates out effects in a way that is not possible with a standard survival model. In particular, conditional on other covariates, we find strong evidence of an association between anaemia and cure, whereas the evidence of an association between anaemia and time to local recurrence for patients who are not cured is weaker.
