Abstract
A new bacterium, strain AT3T, was isolated by microbial culturomics from a faecal sample from a Frenchman after bariatric surgery. The isolate exhibited 96.6% 16S ribosomal RNA gene nucleotide sequence similarity with Anaerotruncus colihominis strain WAL 14565T = CCUG 45055T = CIP 107754T. Phenotypic and genomic characteristics showed that the new strain represents a novel species, for which the name Anaerotruncus massiliensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain AT3T = CSUR P2007T = DSM 100567T.

Abstract
Strain Marseille-P3237 was isolated from a stool sample of a healthy 35-year-old Congolese pygmy female. This anaerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and non-motile coccus-shaped bacterium is a member of the order Coriobacteriales. It exhibits a 2 009 306-bp genome with a 65.46 mol% G+C content and is closely related to, but distinct from, members of the Olsenella genus. We propose the creation of the new genus Libanicoccus gen. nov. and of the new species Libanicoccus massiliensis sp. nov.

Abstract
Culturomics investigates microbial diversity of the human microbiome by combining diversified culture conditions, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene identification. The present study allowed identification of four putative new Clostridium sensu stricto species: ‘Clostridium amazonitimonense’ strain LF2T, ‘Clostridium massilidielmoense’ strain MT26T, ‘Clostridium nigeriense’ strain Marseille-P2414T and ‘Clostridium merdae’ strain Marseille-P2953T, which we describe using the concept of taxonogenomics. We describe the main characteristics of each bacterium and present their complete genome sequence and annotation.

Abstract
An obligate aerobic, Gram-negative, nonmotile and nonsporulating rod designated Marseille P2517 was isolated from the vaginal flora. We describe its features, annotate the genome and compare it to the closest species. The 16S rRNA analysis shows 93.03% sequence similarity with Weeksella virosa, the phylogenetically closest species. Its genome is 2 434 475 bp long and presents 38.16% G+C. On the basis of these data, it can be considered as a new genus in the Flavobacteriaceae family, for which we proposed the name Vaginella massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is Marseille P2517T.

Abstract
The present systematic review was performed under the auspices of the European Lung Cancer Working Party (ELCWP) in order to determine the role of early intermediate criteria (surrogate markers), instead of survival, in determining treatment efficacy in patients with lung cancer. Initially, the level of evidence for the use of overall survival to evaluate treatment efficacy was reviewed. Nine questions were then formulated by the ELCWP. After reviewing the literature with experts on these questions, it can be concluded that overall survival is still the best criterion for predicting treatment efficacy in lung cancer. Some intermediate criteria can be early predictors, if not surrogates, for survival, despite limitations in their potential application: these include time to progression, progression-free survival, objective response, local control after radiotherapy, downstaging in locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), complete resection and pathological TNM in resected NSCLC, and a few circulating markers. Other criteria assessed in these recommendations are not currently adequate surrogates of survival in lung cancer.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The 1997 International staging system (ISS) classification separated stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) into stages IIIA and IIIB. In a previous study including unresectable NSCLC initially treated with chemotherapy, we analysed survival according to tumour (T) and node (N) stages and derived a classification into stages IIIbeta (T3-4N3) and IIIalpha (other TN stage III) that had a better discrimination on survival distribution. The aim of this study was to validate these results in a further set of patients. Patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC included in a phase III trial assessing the role of increased dose chemotherapy (SuperMIP: mitomycin 6 mg/m2, ifosfamide 4.5 g/m2, cisplatin 60 mg/m2, carboplatin 200 mg/m2) in comparison to standard chemotherapy MIP (mitomycin 6 mg/m2, ifosfamide 3 g/m2, cisplatin 50 mg/m2), before thoracic irradiation (60 Gy in 30 fractions over 6 weeks) were the subject of this study. Survival distributions were assessed by the method of Kaplan-Meier. Survival comparisons were made by the log-rank test. Multivariate analyses using Cox regression models, included all potential prognostic factors for survival with a P-value <0.2 in univariate analysis. According to the 1997 International staging system classification, 328 eligible patients were included in the study. There was no imbalance between the two arms. Five parameters were significantly associated (P < or = 0.05) with survival in univariate analysis: European lung cancer working party (ELCWP) staging (IIIalpha[n = 294 pts] versus IIIbeta [n = 46]), Karnofsky index, weight loss, platelet count and haemoglobin level. These variables as well as the 1997 ISS staging, white blood cell (WBC) count, LDH and sodium levels were included in a multivariate analysis. Two models were constructed, including either the ELCWP or the 1997 ISS. In model 1 (ISS included), Karnofsky index (HR 0.69; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47-1.00; P = 0.05) and haemoglobin (HR 1.49; 95% CI 1.11-1.99; P = 0.007) were found significant. In model 2, including ELCWP staging, two variables were associated with survival: ELCWP staging (HR 1.68; 95% CI 1.20-2.35; P = 0.002) and haemoglobin (HR 1.54; 95% CI 1.15-2.07; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION In initially unresectable stage III NSCLC treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, we validated the results of our previous study. The classification into stages IIIbeta (T3-4N3M0) and IIIalpha (other TN stage III) better discriminates the patients in term of survival than the 1997 ISS classification.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the role of chemotherapy dose intensity in patients with initially unresectable non-metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with survival as primary end point, by testing two different regimens as induction chemotherapy followed by thoracic irradiation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients had pathologically proven NSCLC, an initially unresectable non-metastatic tumour without homolateral malignant pleural effusion, no prior history of malignancy and had received no prior therapy. Treatment was randomised for chemotherapy between three courses of MIP (mitomycin C 6 mg/m2; ifosfamide 3 g/m2; cisplatin 50 mg/m2) or SuperMIP (mitomycin C 6 mg/m2; ifosfamide 4.5 g/m2; cisplatin 60 mg/m2, carboplatine 200 mg/m2), followed by chest irradiation (60 Gy; five times per week, for 6 weeks). If the tumour became resectable after chemotherapy, surgery was performed, followed by mediastinal irradiation. RESULTS A total of 351 patients were eligible: 176 in the MIP arm and 175 in the SuperMIP arm, with 43% and 51% stages IIIA and IIIB, respectively. There was a significantly higher objective response rate with SuperMIP (46%) compared with MIP (35%) (P=0.03) [95% confidence interval (CI) for the difference between the response rates, 1% to 22%]. After induction chemotherapy, surgery was performed in 54 (15%) patients (27 per arm) and chest irradiation in 203 (57%) patients (102 in the MIP arm and 101 in the SuperMIP). In terms of survival, there was no statistically significant difference between the two study arms (P=0.16), with median survival times of, for MIP and SuperMIP, respectively, 12.5 (95% CI 10.1-14.9) and 11.2 (95% CI 9.7-12.8) months. Haematological toxicity and dosage reductions were higher with SuperMIP, which was nevertheless associated with a significantly increased absolute dose intensity. CONCLUSIONS High dose-intensity induction chemotherapy does not improve survival in initially unresectable non metastatic NSCLC.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the activity of paclitaxel as a second-line chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This multicentric trial included patients who had failed to a first-line chemotherapy with platinum derivatives and/or ifosfamide. After registration, patients were treated by paclitaxel i.v. at a dose of 225 mg/m(2) given over 3 h administered every 3 weeks. Response was assessed after three courses of therapy. Sixty-seven patients were registered, one was ineligible and 64 were assessable for response. Two partial responses were observed (3% of the eligible patients; 95% confidence interval: 0-7%). No change was documented in 16 cases (24%). Tolerance was acceptable, the main toxicity being cumulative polyneuropathy. Median survival duration was 4.5 months with a 1-year rate at 19%. We concluded that paclitaxel is not active in terms of response as second-line chemotherapy for NSCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify pretreatment variables predicting response to platinum derivatives containing chemotherapy in patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients included in one of the 7 consecutive clinical trials conducted by the European Lung Cancer Working Party between December 1980 and August 1991. All patients received a cisplatin or carboplatin containing chemotherapy. We analyzed 22 potential prognostic factors including sex, age, histology, performance status, weight loss, type of lesions, extent of disease, main metastatic sites and several biological parameters, namely white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count, platelet count, hemoglobinemia, creatininemia, serum alkaline phosphatases and LDH. RESULTS On 1052 eligible patients. 107 were not assessable for response. The objective response rate was 26% (95% C.I.: 23, 29%). Univariate analysis identified as statistically significantly associated with a higher objective antitumoral response rate the following characteristics: a normal platelet count, the absence of skin metastasis, the absence of adrenal metastasis, a higher creatininemia, a normal hemoglobinemia, an older age and a normal WBC count. On a restricted set of variables including data from 777 patients, a multivariate logistic regression model disclosed age and platelet count as significantly and independently related to response rate. CONCLUSION Clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with unresectable NSCLC, as well as routine laboratory parameters, could not accurately predict response to chemotherapy in a population of patients selected for a clinical trial. Future studies on this subject should include more sophisticated variables as new biomolecular makers.

Abstract
A 14-year-old girl was transferred to our unit after 6 weeks of repeating episodes of what was thought to be 'hemoptysis'. Apart from discrete nausea, she did not have any other complaints. The episodes of 'hemoptysis' occurred once every 3 days, mostly in the late evening. The physical examination was strictly normal. A thorough investigation revealed a chronic active gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection. No lung disease could be confirmed. Treatment consisted of a combination therapy with amoxycillin (50 mg/kg/day orally in 3 doses) and colloidal bismuth subcitrate (120 mg orally, 3 times daily) during a period of 1 week. Together with the clearance of Helicobacter pylori and healing of the chronic active gastritis, as demonstrated by histology, the symptoms disappeared. An eradication of the microorganism was obtained. Since that time, she has had no further similar complaints. This case reflects an atypical presentation of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Abstract
The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Lung Cancer Working Party conducted a randomized trial comparing cisplatin (CDDP; 120 mg/m2, day 1) and carboplatin (CBDCA; 325 mg/m2, day 1) in combination with etoposide (VP16; 100 mg/m2, days 1, 2, and 3) in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Two hundred twenty-eight patients were eligible for survival and 202 assessable for response. We obtained 27 of 100 objective responses (ORs; 27%) in the CDDP arm and 16 of 102 (16%) in the CBDCA arm (P = .07). There was no significant difference in survival. Toxicity, consisting mainly of myelosuppression and renal function impairment, was significantly increased in the patients receiving the CDDP treatment. We conclude that CDDP plus VP16 was more active but also more toxic than CBDCA plus VP16 in advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is the only tumor marker of proven, although limited, value for the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The authors have prospectively assessed the potential value of a new tumor marker, squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC Ag), in a large series of patients with advanced lung cancer (LC). Squamous cell carcinoma antigen and CEA levels were measured in 382 healthy persons (N1 group), 90 patients with benign pulmonary diseases, and 291 patients with LC (129 with SCLC and 162 with NSCLC, including 96 with squamous LC). Carcinoembryonic antigen levels were higher in smokers than in nonsmokers, but smoking habits did not influence the serum concentrations of SCC Ag. Elevated values (above the 95th percentiles of N1, i.e., 7.5 ng/ml for CEA and 3.0 ng/ml for SCC Ag) were observed in 11.1% of patients with benign pulmonary diseases for both markers. Carcinoembryonic antigen was more sensitive than SCC Ag, even for squamous LC (56% versus 35% of elevated values, P less than 0.01). The specificity toward squamous LC was better, however, for SCC Ag, for which levels were elevated in only 8.5% of SCLC and in 18% of other forms of NSCLC, compared with 49% and 55%, respectively, for CEA. Moreover, measurement of SCC Ag and CEA levels did not give redundant information: thus, in squamous LC and SCC Ag level was elevated in 32% of the patients with a normal CEA level, increasing from 57% to 71% the proportion of patients with at least one elevated marker. Lastly, elevation of CEA or SCC Ag levels was an adverse prognostic factor in squamous LC (P = 0.05 for CEA; P = 0.07 for SCC Ag). In conclusion, SCC Ag appears to be worthwhile of further investigation in squamous LC. The authors found that this new marker provided additional information on CEA and that it was more specific for squamous LC than CEA.

Abstract
This investigation compares the effects of unilateral bronchography on classical pulmonary function parameters (spirometry, CO transfer, flow-volume curve, and arterial blood gases) and radioisotopic measurements by means of 99mTc-labeled microspheres and 81mKr. The regional changes of ventilation and perfusion were quantified by a radioisotopic index, which was established for each zone of interest: explored lung and unexplored lung. The quantitative study of regional perfusion and ventilation reveals significant reduction of ventilation for lung bases, but not for lung apices. The radioisotopic measurements show a reduction of perfusion parallel to the reduction of ventilation. There is no significant correlation between traditional pulmonary function parameters and isotopic indices. Radioisotopy proved a sensitive tool for investigation of unilateral alterations.
