Abstract
Abstract
Background
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major cause of late morbidity and non-relapse mortality in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Its biology, however, remains poorly understood, making the studies of its biology and immunomodulatory therapies a difficult task. Such research is often hampered by lymphopenia which is common in these patients and precludes studies of critical cellular subsets across the spectrum of severity of disease. This study explores the potential of leukapheresis to safely acquire and efficiently store immune cells for immunology research in chronic GVHD.
Methods
This is a cross-sectional study in which 132 consecutively accrued patients undergo optional research leukapheresis and a one-week comprehensive outpatient evaluation. Baseline clinical and laboratory data and efficiency of the procedure were reported.
Results
Ninety-four of 132 patients (71%) achieved the goal collection of 2 × 10^9 PBMNCs with a mean volume processed of 4.6 L. Only mild decreases in hemoglobin, platelet, lymphocyte and monocytes were observed. All adverse events were mild (grade 1) and had resolved by the time of discharge from the apheresis unit.
Conclusion
This study demonstrates feasibility, safety, and efficiency of research leukapheresis in a frail patient population. Results presented promote leukapheresis as a standard research practice option in studies of chronic GVHD in humans which may expedite advances in our understanding of this complex multisystem disease.

Abstract
Idiopathic Spinal Cord Herniation (ISCH) is considered to be a rare cause of Thoracic Myelopathy. It is secondary to the gliding of the Spinal Cord through an anterior dural defect, without a completely defined cause. We present a case of ISCH which, even though was in its usual location, developed in a woman at a younger age than expected. The patient was 20 years old when diagnosed with Brown-Séquard Syndrome. MRI showed herniation at T4-T5 level, which was corrected using a posterior approach to expose the dural defect, reduce the herniation and place a heterologous graft. Postoperatively, neurological function improved, and adequate reduction was seen on imaging. Given the reports of recurrence and deterioration that have been seen after 18 months, follow-up was prolonged for a total of 2 years. We consider postoperative MRI performance important to establish the degree of reduction and alignment of the Spinal Cord.

Abstract
Biomarkers are increasingly used for diagnosis and treatment of transplant-related complications including the first biomarker-driven interventional trials of acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). In contrast, the development of biomarkers of chronic GvHD (cGvHD) has lagged behind due to a broader variety of manifestations, overlap with acute GvHD, a greater variation in time to onset and maximum severity, and lack of sufficient patient numbers within prospective trials. An international workshop organized by a North-American and European consortium was held in Marseille in March 2017 with the goal to discuss strategies for future biomarker development to guide cGvHD therapy. As a result of this meeting, two areas were prioritized: the development of prognostic biomarkers for subsequent onset of moderate/severe cGvHD, and in parallel, the development of qualified clinical-grade assays for biomarker quantification. The most promising prognostic serum biomarkers are CXCL9, ST2, matrix metalloproteinase-3, osteopontin, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CD163. Urine-proteomics and cellular subsets (CD4+ T-cell subsets, NK cell subsets, and CD19+CD21low B cells) represent additional potential prognostic biomarkers of cGvHD. A joint effort is required to verify the results of numerous exploratory trials before any of the potential candidates is ready for validation and subsequent clinical application.

Abstract
Purpose Therapies with novel mechanisms of action are needed for multiple myeloma (MM). T cells can be genetically modified to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), which are artificial proteins that target T cells to antigens. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is expressed by normal and malignant plasma cells but not normal essential cells. We conducted the first-in-humans clinical trial, to our knowledge, of T cells expressing a CAR targeting BCMA (CAR-BCMA). Patients and Methods Sixteen patients received 9 × 106 CAR-BCMA T cells/kg at the highest dose level of the trial; we are reporting results of these 16 patients. The patients had a median of 9.5 prior lines of MM therapy. Sixty-three percent of patients had MM refractory to the last treatment regimen before protocol enrollment. T cells were transduced with a γ-retroviral vector encoding CAR-BCMA. Patients received CAR-BCMA T cells after a conditioning chemotherapy regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. Results The overall response rate was 81%, with 63% very good partial response or complete response. Median event-free survival was 31 weeks. Responses included eradication of extensive bone marrow myeloma and resolution of soft-tissue plasmacytomas. All 11 patients who obtained an anti-MM response of partial response or better and had MM evaluable for minimal residual disease obtained bone marrow minimal residual disease-negative status. High peak blood CAR+ cell levels were associated with anti-MM responses. Cytokine-release syndrome toxicities were severe in some cases but were reversible. Blood CAR-BCMA T cells were predominantly highly differentiated CD8+ T cells 6 to 9 days after infusion. BCMA antigen loss from MM was observed. Conclusion CAR-BCMA T cells had substantial activity against heavily treated relapsed/refractory MM. Our results should encourage additional development of CAR T-cell therapies for MM.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of vitamin C in reducing serum uric acid (UA). This study was a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial conducted in the Department of Rheumatology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2007 and August 2008. Study participants were included from out patient department (OPD) of Rheumatology of BSMMU suffering from various Rheumatological problems other than gouty arthritis. All of the participants were non-smokers, non-alcoholics, and randomized to take either placebo or vitamin C (500 mg/day) for 12 weeks. A total of 98 subjects were enrolled in the study; 71 completed the trial, with 34 in the placebo group and 37 receiving vitamin C. Serum uric acid levels were not significantly reduced in the experimental group and they increased in the placebo group. In the vitamin C group, the mean change was -0.32mg/dl [95% confidence interval -0.73, 0.77], whereas in the placebo group, the mean change was +0.12mg/dl [95% confidence interval was -0.22, 0.47]. Subgroups were defined by sex, body mass index, and quartiles of baseline serum uric acid levels. In a subgroup analysis, vitamin C lowered serum uric acid significantly in those who had comparatively higher baseline uric acid levels. Although vitamin C did not lower serum uric acid significantly, participants with higher baseline serum uric acid levels experienced a significant uric acid lowering effect, but as the sample size was very small, it is difficult to draw any definitive conclusion.

Abstract
Background Short sleep has been implicated in higher risk of obesity in humans, and is associated with insulin resistance. However, the effects of fragmented sleep (SF) rather than curtailed sleep on glucose homeostasis are unknown. Methods Wild type and NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) null male mice were subjected to SF or sleep control (SC) conditions for 3 days-3 weeks. Systemic and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) insulin sensitivity tests, glucose tolerance test, FACS and immunohistochemistry for macrophages and sub-types (M1 and M2) and Nox expression and activity were examined. Results Here show that SF in the absence of sleep curtailment induces time-dependent insulin resistance, in vivo and also in vitro in VAT. Oxidative stress pathways were up-regulated by SF in VAT, and were accompanied by M1 macrophage polarization. SF-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance in VAT were completely abrogated in genetically altered mice lacking Nox2 activity. Conclusions These studies imply that SF, a frequent occurrence in many disorders and more specifically in sleep apnea, is a potent inducer of insulin resistance via activation of oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways, thereby opening the way for therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is currently no standard chemotherapy regimen for patients with lymphoid malignancies being considered for reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (RIC-alloHSCT). The ideal regimen would provide disease control and result in lymphocyte depletion to facilitate engraftment. To this end, we developed a novel regimen by adding fludarabine to dose-adjusted continuous-infusion etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin plus with or without rituximab (DA-EPOCH-F/R). PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred forty-seven patients with lymphoid malignancy (median age, 50 years) who had heavily pretreated (median prior regimens, three) and chemo-refractory (47%) disease were treated with DA-EPOCH-F/R before RIC-alloHSCT. Patients received one to three consecutive cycles until achieving lymphocyte depletion (CD4(+) count < 200/μL) or progressive disease. RESULTS Overall response rate was 41%; 39% of patients had stable disease. Toxicity included grade 4 neutropenia in 65% and thrombocytopenia in 25% of patients. DA-EPOCH-F/R resulted in lymphocyte depletion (P < .001), which was inversely associated with serum interleukin (IL) 7 and IL-15 levels. Of 147 patients, 143 patients proceeded to RIC-alloHSCT. Patients with lower CD3(+) (P < .001), CD4(+) (P < .001), and CD8(+) (P < .001) T-cell counts after DA-EPOCH-F/R were more likely to achieve full donor lymphoid chimerism by day +14 after transplant. Relative to nonresponders to DA-EPOCH-F/R, patients with complete and partial response had increased event-free survival (77.4 v 4.8 months; P < .001) and overall survival (98.5 v 16.2 months; P < .001). CONCLUSION DA-EPOCH-F/R safely provides tumor cytoreduction and lymphocyte depletion, thereby offering a bridge to RIC-alloHSCT in patients with aggressive lymphoid malignancies.

Abstract
There exists a need for effective salvage regimens for multiple myeloma patients being considered for reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (RI-alloHSCT). We developed EPOCH-F, a regimen consisting of infusional etoposide, VCR and adriamycin with prednisone, CY and fludarabine to achieve both tumor control and host lymphocyte depletion to facilitate engraftment before RI-alloHSCT. In all, 22 multiple myeloma patients were treated with EPOCH-F before RI-alloHSCT. The median age was 53 years (range 36-65), and the median number of previous therapies was 2 (range 1-8). Patients received a median of three cycles (range 1-5) of EPOCH-F. Toxicities were primarily hematologic and manageable. Median lymphocyte counts decreased from 1423/μL (range 335-2788) to 519/μL (range 102-1420; P=0.0002). The overall response (≥PR) to EPOCH-F was 22 with 13% achieving a CR/near-complete response (nCR); only 1 patient progressed while on therapy. A total of 20 patients underwent RI-alloHSCT. Median day +100 donor chimerism was 100% (range 60-100). In all, 70% of patients achieved very good partial response or better response after transplant; 40% of patients achieved CR/nCR. TRM at 100 days and 5 years was 5 and 30%, respectively. Median OS after RI-alloHSCT was 46.1 months. EPOCH-F provides disease control and host lymphocyte depletion with consistent full donor engraftment in multiple myeloma patients undergoing RI-alloHSCT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study HLA class I and class II association in Tunisian patients with reactive (ReA) and undifferentiated arthritis (UA). METHODS The study included 17 patients with ReA defined according to the European Spondylarthropathy Study Group criteria for spondylarthropathy (SpA), 11 patients classified as having undifferentiated arthritis and 100 unrelated healthy controls. HLA class I antigens were typed serologically and HLA class II alleles were genotyped molecularly by the polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers technique. RESULTS There was a major difference between HLA alleles in ReA and UA patients when compared separately with controls. Increased frequencies of HLA-B27 (p=7.76 10-12, OR=59.30), HLA-B51 (p=0.015, OR=4.91) and HLA-DRB1*04 (p=0.033, OR=2.90) alleles were found in patients with ReA but not in patients with UA. HLA-B27 was not expressed totally in our cohort of UA patients. A significant increase of HLA-B15 (p=0.002, OR=18.40) and a moderate increase of HLA-B7 (p=0.043, OR=5.15) was found in patients with UA, but not in patients with ReA. In the B27 negative patients, HLA-DRB1*04 association with ReA was found independently of B27. CONCLUSION Our data confirmed a significant association of HLA-B27 with ReA in the Tunisian population. Our results also suggested that some of the additional HLA antigens were associated with ReA including HLA-B51 and HLA-DRB1*04 alleles. UA seemed to have a genetic background different from ReA in Tunisian patients.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) represents a special situation in transplantation immunology in which immunocompetent donor cells are engrafted into recipients that are incapable of rejecting them due to tolerance, immaturity, or radiation- or chemotherapy-induced immune deficiency. Donor T cells encountering allogeneic stimulators become activated, secrete cytokines, proliferate, and differentiate into effectors; this in vivo immune response is known as the graft-versus-host reaction (GVHR). The systemic effects of this initial donor anti-host reaction comprise a multiorgan syndrome, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Murine GVHD experiments have been utilized to model the clinical disorders of acute and chronic GVHD (AGVHD and CGVHD) that occur after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, and also to study T cell regulation, induction of tolerance, and autoimmune diseases. Presented in this unit are methods for generating and assessing both AGVHD and CGVHD in mice. While the two syndromes differ markedly in immunopathogenesis, both can be induced by the two main methods presented: transfer of allogenic donor lymphocytes and stem cells into irradiated hosts, and transfer of parental strain lymphocytes and stem cells into unirradiated, immune-competent F1 strain hosts. Several endpoints of AGVHD and CGVHD should be evaluated in experimental mice, with comparisons made to the syngeneic transplant control or the T cell-depleted allogeneic control. To this end, protocols are provided for the assessment of survival rates, weight loss, chimerism, donor-host cytotoxicity, and cytokine and proliferative responses to mitogenic or allogeneic stimuli. Histopathology and assays of B cell immune function are also described for evaluation of the pathogenesis of GVHD.

Abstract
Mixed chimerism in the T cell compartment (MCT) after reduced-intensity stem cell transplantation (RIST) may influence immune repopulation with alloreactive donor T cells. We examined effects of host T cell numbers on donor T cell engraftment and recovery and on acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in a relatively homogeneous patient population with respect to residual host T cells through quantified immune depletion prior to RIST and to donor T cells by setting the allograft T cell dose of 1x10(5) CD3+ cells/kg. In this setting, 2 patterns of early donor T cell engraftment could be distinguished by day +42: (1) early and complete donor chimerism in the T cell compartment (FDCT) and (2) persistent MCT. FDCT was associated with lower residual host CD8+ T cell counts prior to transplant and aGVHD. With persistent MCT, subsequent development of aGVHD could be predicted by the direction of change in T cell donor chimerism after donor lymphocyte infusion, and no aGVHD occurred until FDCT was established. MCT did not affect recovery of donor T cell counts. These observations suggest that the relative number and alloreactivity of donor and host T cells are more important than the absolute allograft T cell dose in determining donor engraftment and aGVHD after RIST.

Abstract
2504 Background: IL-7 has a critical and non-redundant role in T-cell lymphopoiesis and peripheral T-cell homeostasis. IL-7 administration may prove clinically valuable in conditions of disease induced (HIV) or iatrogenic T-cell depletion and for modulation of vaccine immune responses. In the first phase I study in humans, recombinant human interleukin-7 (“CYT 99–007”, Cytheris Inc., Rockville, MD) was administered subcutaneously every other day for two weeks in adults with refractory malignancies at 3, 10, 30 and 60 μg/kg/dose. Biologic activity, defined as a 50% increase over baseline of peripheral blood CD3+ T-cells, was seen at and above the 10μg/kg/dose in all patients. The kinetics of proliferation and expansion of peripheral blood T-cell subsets were analyzed. Methods: Multicolor flow cytometry was performed at baseline, 1, 2 and 3 weeks. Among CD4+ cells, the most naïve were defined as CD45RA+ /CD31+. Among CD4+ & CD8+ cells, the main naïve, memory and effector populations were defined respectively as CD45RA+/CD27+, CD45RA-/CD27+ and CD45RA-/CD27-. Within each subset, the number of cells in cycle was defined by Ki67 staining. Results: Following IL-7 therapy, there was marked proliferation of all T-cells subsets, peaking at week 1, most striking for the naive subsets with 30–70% of circulating cells induced to cycle. Proliferation rates were halved by week 2 despite continuation of treatment, coincident with the observed down-regulation of the IL-7 receptor. Cycling returned to baseline by week 3. Significant proliferation was also induced in effector and memory CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells but to a lesser magnitude, resulting in a greater net expansion of the naïve subsets, still ongoing one week after the end of treatment. Conclusions: IL-7 administration induces marked expansion of naïve, memory and effector CD4+ & CD8+ T-cells in humans. Consistent with the known down-regulation of the IL-7 receptor upon IL-7 exposure, proliferation rates decrease during the second week of treatment. rhIL-7 induced T-cell expansion may prove clinically valuable in adoptive immunotherapy as an adjunct to tumor vaccination and / or immunorestorative agent.

Abstract
Trichosporon spp are well recognized as pathogens capable of causing invasive disease. Despite the increasing frequency and severity of trichosporonosis, data on the antifungal susceptibility of Trichosporon spp. are limited and recommendations for in vitro testing of this fungus are not included in the guidelines of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. The purpose of this study was to determine the in vitro susceptibility of clinical Trichosporon isolates to systemic antifungals. We evaluated the in vitro activity of amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole and voriconazole against 27 clinical isolates of Trichosporon spp. (14 T. mucoides and 13 T. asahii) using NCCLS M27-A2 reference microdilution, Etest and disk diffusion methods. In the microdilution and Etest methods Trichosporon spp. demonstrated relatively high minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for fluconazole (MIC90 4 and 6 microg/ml, respectively) and relatively low MICs for voriconazole (MIC90 0.125 and 0.125 microg/ml, respectively). MICs for amphotericin B determined on antibiotic medium 3 were lower (MIC90 0.06 microg/ml) than those on RPMI (MIC90 1 microg/ml). Observed agreements were 81-100% according to these drugs. Disk diffusion zone diameters correlate inversely with MICs from dilution tests except for amphotericin B. Validation of the clinical significance of these observations demands determination of MIC breakpoints for Trichosporon and in vitro- in vivo correlation studies.

Abstract
Tumor vaccine after high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) aims at directing immune recovery toward tumor responses after optimizing minimal residual disease. We have characterized T-cell recovery and tumor response after a regimen devised as a platform for such immunotherapy. One hundred patients with high-risk or metastatic breast cancer received 3 to 7 cycles of paclitaxel and cyclophosphamide (overall response rate, 78%) and then HDC with melphalan and etoposide. Seventy-one patients received HDC and ASCT (no mortality at 100 days). At 24 months after transplantation, progression-free and overall survival probabilities for patients with stage IIIA, IIIB, and IV disease were 82%, 81%, and 42% and 100%, 94%, and 68%, respectively. The median progression-free and overall survivals from entry on study for stage IV patients were 15.3 and 38.1 months, respectively. CD3 + , CD8 + , and CD4 + cells were severely depleted after ASCT. Although total CD8 + T-cell numbers approached the normal range by 3 months, most of these cells were CD28 - . Naive CD45RA + CD4 + T cells approached the normal range only 18 months after ASCT and only in younger patients. The described observations provide the basis for devising a strategy for cancer vaccine administration after ASCT. Incorporating immune reconstitution enhancement after ASCT may be advantageous.

Abstract
The occurrence of delayed neutropenia following rituximab is poorly defined and of unknown cause. We hypothesized it may be related to perturbations of stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and granulocyte homeostasis. Late-onset neutropenia (LON) was investigated in 130 patients with untreated aggressive B-cell lymphoma receiving DA-EPOCH (dose-adjusted etoposide, prednisone, Oncovin [vincristine], cyclophosphamide, and hydroxydaunorubicin) chemotherapy with or without rituximab. All patients were in remission and had no known causes for neutropenia. LON occurred in 6 (8%) of 76 patients receiving rituximab and 0 of 54 patients not receiving rituximab (P = .04). The median onset was 175 days (range, 77-204 days) after treatment with a median duration of 14 days (range, 11-16 days). In a subset of 24 patients, a significant correlation was found between rapid B-cell recovery and granulocyte decline over the 6-month recovery period (R = -0.53; P = .04). Rapid B-cell recovery directly correlated with prerecovery SDF-1 levels (R = 0.65; P = .015) and SDF-1 decline (R = -0.67; P = .013) after recovery. Our results suggest that early B-cell lymphopoiesis is important for B-cell recovery following rituximab, and that perturbation of SDF-1 during B-cell recovery retards neutrophil egress from the bone marrow. These findings illustrate the dual role of SDF-1 in human B-cell and granulocyte homeostasis.

Abstract
Preclinical models for the identification of prostate cancer chemoprevention agents are lacking. Based upon the notion that clinically useful chemoprevention agents should exhibit selective activity against early stage disease, studies were undertaken to assess whether chemoprevention agents selectively inhibited the growth of early stage prostate cancer, as compared to late stage cancer. First, a series of cell and molecular studies were performed, which, when taken together, validated the use of a panel of prostate cell lines as a model of the different stages of carcinogenesis. Next, therapeutic responsiveness to ten different cytotoxic or chemoprevention agents was evaluated. Chemoprevention agents exhibited selective activity against normal and early transformed prostate tissue, whereas cytotoxic agents were non-specific. Selective activity against early versus advanced prostate cancer cells is identified as a potential screening method for chemoprevention agents.Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2001) 4, 81-91

Abstract
Surgical closure of multiple muscular ventricular septal defects (MVSDs) is associated with mortality and morbidity; therefore, both surgeons and cardiologists welcome a nonsurgical safe approach. We report our initial results of catheter closure of MVSD using the new Amplatzer muscular VSD occluder delivered via the venous or arterial routes. Eight patients with MVSD underwent closure of their VSDs using the Amplatzer VSD occluder under general endotracheal anesthesia. The mean +/- SD of age was 5.4 +/- 3.1 years (2-10 years) and mean weight was 18.4 +/- 6.5 kg (11.5-29 kg). All patients had left ventricular volume overload with mean Qp/Qs ratio of 1.7 +/- 0.6 (1.4-3). The location of the VSD was mid muscular in four, anterior in two, apical in one, and posterior in one. The systolic pulmonary artery pressure ranged from 25 to 85 mm Hg (mean, 39.9 +/- 18.8 mm Hg). The device was implanted successfully in all eight patients. In five patients (four mid muscular and one apical), the deployment of the device was anterograde from the right internal jugular vein and in three patients (two anterior and one posterior VSD), the initial attempt at anterograde deployment was unsuccessful due to kinking in the delivery sheath; therefore, retrograde deployment was attempted successfully. The size of the device used ranged from 6 to 14 mm (the size of the connecting waist). In patients with elevated pulmonary artery pressure, repeat measurements immediately after closure revealed normalization in all. There was immediate complete closure of the defect in two patients and six patients had trivial residual shunt (foaming through the device), which disappeared completely within 24 hr in five and at 6-month follow-up in the sixth patient. The mean fluoroscopy time was 37.1 +/- 13 min (11.7-55 min). Complications encountered included transient junctional rhythm in one patient. No blood transfusion was required. On follow-up evaluation, there has been no episode of endocarditis, thromboembolism, hemolysis, or wire disruption. we conclude that the Amplatzer MVSD occluder is a safe and effective device for closure of MVSDs up to 12 mm in diameter. Further clinical trials with this device are underway. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 49:167-172, 2000.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) and modulation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) are both associated with tamoxifen treatment, and both appear to be important in the regulation of prostate cancer cell growth. Investigations were performed which sought to measure the efficacy, and to elucidate the mechanism of growth inhibition by tamoxifen, in hormone-refractory prostate cancer. METHODS Growth assays were performed on PC3, PC3-M, and DU145 prostate cancer cells. TGF-beta was measured by ELISA; p21(waf1/cip1) and retinoblastoma (Rb) protein levels were measured by Western blot; PKC activity was measured by kinase assay; and effects upon cell cycle were measured by flow cytometric analysis. RESULTS IC50s for growth inhibition ranged from 5.5-10 microM, and were not affected by estrogen. Tamoxifen-mediated growth inhibition was not associated with induction of TGF-beta. However, tamoxifen treatment was associated with inhibition of PKC, which was followed by induction of p21(waf1/cip1), Rb dephosphorylation, and G1/S phase cell cycle arrest. Similar effects were observed with the known PKC inhibitor, Ro31-8220. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that micromolar concentrations of tamoxifen inhibit prostate cancer cell growth by inhibition of PKC, resulting in induction of the p21(waf1/cip1) protein.

Abstract
Inhibitors of topoisomerase I and topoisomerase II have demonstrated synergy when administered sequentially in several tumor models while having a diminished antitumor effect when given concurrently. To explore the potential for clinical sequence-dependent synergy, we instituted a Phase I study of topotecan (a topoisomerase I inhibitor) followed by doxorubicin (a topoisomerase II inhibitor) in patients with advanced malignancies. Thirty-three patients with advanced malignancies or malignancies for whom no standard therapy exists were entered into the study. Topotecan was administered in escalating doses by 72-h continuous infusion on days 1, 2, and 3, followed by a bolus of doxorubicin given on day 5. To explore the hematological toxicity associated with this sequence, bone marrow aspirates were obtained both prior to the topotecan infusion and immediately prior to the doxorubicin in 10 patients to determine by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis whether CD34+ cell synchronization was occurring using this sequential schedule. Dose-limiting hematological toxicity occurred at the first dose-level in three of six patients. Therefore, we defined the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) below our starting dose-level. Further dose-escalation and a new MTD were defined with the addition of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). The MTD was, therefore, topotecan 0.35 mg/m2/day continuous i.v. infusion on days 1, 2, and 3, followed by doxorubicin 45 mg/m2 on day 5 without G-CSF, whereas the MTD with G-CSF was topotecan 0.75 mg/m2/day by 72-h continuous i.v. infusion, followed by doxorubicin 45 mg/m2 i.v. bolus on day 5. Ten patients with paired bone marrow aspirates obtained before topotecan and before doxorubicin administrations were available for evaluation. In 7 of 10 patients, there was an increase (16.6 +/- 2.9% to 25.0 +/- 3.5%; P < 0.02) in the proportion of CD34+ cells in S-phase 24 h after the topotecan infusion and prior to doxorubicin compared to the pretreatment values, whereas 1 patient had a decrease in the proportion of CD34+ cells in S phase and 2 patients had no change. Topotecan and doxorubicin with this sequence and schedule can be given safely; the dose-limiting toxicity is hematological toxicity. Alterations in the fraction of hematopoietic progenitor CD34+ cells in S-phase may account for the increased granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia observed at relatively low dose levels of the combination with and without G-CSF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We report the design and initial characterization of the dosimetry and radiobiology of a novel device for interstitial stereotactic radiosurgery. INSTRUMENTATION The device is lightweight, handheld, and battery-powered, and it emits x-ray radiation from the tip of a probe 3 mm in diameter by 10 cm in length. METHODS The dosimetry was characterized by two independent methods: thermoluminescent dosimeters and radiochromic film. The radiobiology was characterized by in vivo irradiation of rat liver, dog liver, and dog brain. The animals were killed at varying intervals of time, and histological examinations were performed. Heat transfer from the probe to dog brain was studied in vivo by placing thermocouple sensors around the probe tip before irradiating. RESULTS Both dosimetric methods showed a steep dose-distance fall-off relationship (proportional to the reciprocal of the cube of the distance from the probe tip). Rats and dogs that were killed weeks to months after liver irradiation tended to have sharply demarcated lesions. Liver enzyme levels, measured serially in the dogs, did not give evidence of chronic inflammation. Histological examination of the brains of dogs that were killed acutely after irradiation did not show evidence of inflammation, edema, or hemorrhage. The tissue temperature elevation 1 cm from the tip never exceeded 0.5 degree C, thereby excluding hyperthermia as a significant contributor to the formation of lesions. CONCLUSIONS Because this device requires relatively few supporting resources, has sharp dosimetric properties, and seems to be safe, it may be useful as a clinical tool for interstitial stereotactic radiosurgery.

Abstract
Recent data suggest that tumor cells contaminating reinfused bone marrow may contribute to relapse in patients undergoing autologous bone marrow transplantation. Purging strategies that are able to remove these contaminating tumor cells need to be developed. This study describes how electroporation (EP) can be used to improve intracellular delivery of synthetic antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), thereby enhancing their ability to suppress a target protein. Antisense ODNs that were introduced into cells by EP led to immediate suppression of targeted c-myc protein; this was associated with rapid cell death in the diffuse histiocytic lymphoma, U937; Burkitt's lymphoma, ST486; breast carcinoma, MCF-7; and Ewing's sarcoma, CHP-100, cell lines. Electroporation was found to have little or no detrimental effect on cells responsible for murine hematopoietic long-term reconstitution as determined from in vivo competitive repopulation studies. Using human c-myc-directed antisense ODNs as a model for the application of this approach to bone marrow purging, selective killing of human lymphoma U937 cells relative to normal human bone marrow cells was shown in cell mixing studies. In vivo studies were performed in which a survival advantage was shown for athymic mice that were inoculated with antisense-treated U937 cells as opposed to control cells. These studies suggest that EP of bone marrow may be of use in enhancing intracellular delivery of a variety of molecular/pharmaceutical agents. Taken together, these data suggest that the use of electroporation to enhance delivery of antisense ODNs is a promising new approach towards ex vivo bone marrow purging.

Abstract
These studies investigated the effectiveness of in vivo administration of cytokines in ameliorating potential marrow damage induced by chemotherapy. Breast cancer patients received 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (FLAC) followed by either GM-CSF, PIXY321, or no cytokine. Marrow was obtained before and after one or two cycles of FLAC once blood cell counts had recovered. Colony-forming units for granulocytes and macrophages (CFU-GM) were used to indicate the effect of therapy on recovery of committed progenitor cells responsible for early blood cell recovery. The frequency and number of CFU-GM in marrow obtained after FLAC + PIXY321 were significantly lower than in marrow obtained after FLAC+GM-CSF or FLAC without cytokine. CD34+ cell numbers were also reduced after FLAC + PIXY321. CFU-GM production in marrow long-term cultures (LTC) was used to assess the effect of therapy on primitive progenitors. After 5 weeks the number of CFU-GM in LTC of post-therapy marrow from all three treatment arms was < 15% of the number in pre-therapy LTC. Suppressive effects of FLAC on primitive progenitors were observed even when committed progenitors and CD34+ cells had recovered to pre-therapy levels. These results demonstrate that cytokine treatment did not ameliorate suppressive or toxic effects of FLAC on the functional integrity of the marrow.
