Abstract
1091 Background: Estrogen modulates angiogenesis via effects on endothelial cells with subsequent induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF promotes tumor growth and is associated with poor response to antiestrogen therapy. This trial was designed to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of bevacizumab (B) in combination with anastrozole (A) or fulvestrant (F) as first-line endocrine therapy (ET) in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: Eligibility criteria: no prior hormonal or chemotherapy for MBC, measurable or evaluable disease, normal LVEF, post-menopausal. Treatment: Arm A: anastrozole 1 mg po QD in pts who were a) ET naïve, b) ≥ 12 months from adjuvant ET, and c) intolerant of or progressed on prior tamoxifen. Arm B: fulvestrant 500 mg D1 and 250 mg D15 IM loading dose followed by 250 mg q28 days in pts who were a) < 12 months from adjuvant aromatase inhibitors (AIs), b) intolerant of or progressed on AIs, and c) MD's discretion. Bevacizumab 10 mg/kg IV D1 q2 weeks was given in both arms. Trastuzumab permitted in HER-2+ pts only. Response assessments were q8 weeks; pts were treated until disease progression or toxicity. Results: 79 pts were enrolled fromNovember 2006 to November 2008. 42 pts are evaluable for response and toxicity, Arm A - 25 pts and Arm B - 17 pts. Median age was 64, ECOG PS 0 - 55%, 1- 43 %, adjuvant chemo 27%, adjuvant hormonal -38%, hormone receptor status: ER+/PR+ 80%, ER+/PR- 14%, ER-/PR+ 2 %. HER-2+ 5 pts, 31% had ≥ 2 metastatic disease sites predominately lung and bone only disease - 40%. Median # cycles - 4. 24% achieved a partial response and 57% stable disease; 7 pts progressed. G3 hypertension (12%) was the most common toxicity. Median PFS for Arm A was 16.3 months and has not yet been reached for Arm B. Conclusions: Bevacizumab in combination with anastrozole or fulvestrant is feasible and well tolerated with no unanticipated toxicities. The addition of bevacizumab resulted in prolongation of the median PFS to16.3 months with anastrozole as compared to the 7–9 month historical control PFS reported for first-line AI monotherapy in MBC. Further evaluation of bevacizumab endocrine combinations is warranted. [Table: see text]

Abstract
1043 Background: Vinflunine (VFL) is a new and innovative microtubule inhibitor of the vinca alkaloid class that achieves high intracellular concentrations. By inhibition of tubulin polymerization, cell proliferation is arrested leading to apoptotic death. Demonstrating anti- angiogenic and vascular disrupting activities, VFL has demonstrated significant efficacy as 2nd line chemotherapy in MBC (M. Campone, BJC 2006). This trial was designed to evaluate the response rate and safety of VFL as 1st line therapy in MBC as well as its activity in combination with trastuzumab in HER2+ MBC pts. Methods: Eligibility: 0 prior regimens for MBC, > 6 mo from adjuvant therapy, RECIST measurable disease, ECOG PS 0–2, adequate organ function, < G2 neuropathy. Treatment: 320 mg/m2 IV over 20 minutes q3 weeks; 280 mg/m2 with trastuzumab 6 mg/kg q3 weeks in HER2+ pts. Response evaluations q9 weeks; treatment continued until progression or toxicity. A total of 96 pts will be enrolled, 48 pts per each of 2 cohorts, HER2- and HER2+. Results: 18 pts are enrolled, 13 pts evaluable for toxicity and 12 pts for response. 3 pts received VFL monotherapy and 10 pts were treated with VFL + trastuzumab. Median age: 59 years (43–78). ECOG PS 0: 9 pts, 1: 3 pts, 2: 1 pt. Prior adjuvant chemo: 7 pts (54%), with 5 prior anthracyclines and 6 prior taxanes. 2 pts received adjuvant hormonal therapy only. 4 pts presented with de novo stage IV HER2+ MBC. Metastatic disease sites: liver: 6 pts, lung: 7 pts, bone: 5 pts, lymph nodes: 6 pts. 46% had 3 or more sites of organ involvement. Median of 3 cycles (range:1 - 11) was delivered. 7 pts (58%, all HER2+) had a PR and 4 pts (33%) achieved SD. Only 1 pt progressed. Heme toxicity: G3/4 neutropenia: 2 pts (16%); no febrile neutropenia was noted. G3 non-heme toxicity consisted of N/V: 2 pts and myalgia, 2 pts. There were no G4 events. 4 pts were hospitalized (vomiting: 2, cerebro-vascular accident: 1, back pain: 1 pt). 92% of pts remain free of progression at 6 months. Median TTP has not been reached. Conclusions: Vinflunine is a promising new drug with a high level of activity as first line MBC therapy, especially in combination with trastuzumab. VFL is well tolerated in this patient population with a manageable toxicity profile. Accrual to this trial continues. [Table: see text]

Abstract
7701 Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (chemoRT) is the preferred treatment for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC. Limited safety information is available on the use of concurrent docetaxel, carboplatin and thoracic RT. We report the safety information on the initial 100 patients (pts) treated with this chemoRT as part of an ongoing US randomized phase III trial (D0410) evaluating the role of erlotinib/placebo following this concurrent chemoRT treatment. The sample size is 400 pts and the primary endpoint is progression-free survival. Methods: Pts with unresectable pathologically confirmed stage III NSCLC are randomized to receive either erlotinib 150 mg or placebo orally daily for 2 years following concurrent chemoRT with docetaxel 20 mg/m2, carboplatin AUC=2 intravenously weekly for 6 wks with thoracic RT of at least 61 Gy in 33 fractions over 6.5 weeks. The planned total lung volume exceeding 20 Gy (V20) was less than 32%. Only the chemoradiation safety information is being reported. This data was reviewed by an independent safety and data monitoring committee. Results: Pt characteristics; 59% males, median age 69 years (range 38 to 86), 21% adenocarcinoma, 48% squamous cell, 94% ECOG PS0–1, 49% stage IIIA, 15% weight loss = 10%. Of 600 planned chemotherapy treatments, 492 were administered (93 wk 1, 85 wk 2, 82 wk 3, 81 wk 4, 77 wk 5, 74 wk 6). There were 25 chemotherapy dose reductions; most commonly for esophagitis (8), neutropenia (5), renal dysfunction (3), hypersensitivity (2). There were no treatment-related deaths. There were 25 grade 3 and 3 grade 4 treatment-related adverse events. The most common grade 3/4 events were esophagitis (6), fatigue (3), odynophagia (2), neutropenia (1), thrombocytopenia (1), dematitis (1). Conclusions: This concurrent chemoradiation regimen appears to be safe. Enrollment to the phase III trial continues. There is a planned interim efficacy evaluation at 150 events (deaths or disease progression). Funded in part by Sanofi- Aventis, Genentech, and OSI Pharmaceuticals. [Table: see text]

Abstract
The treatment of small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) requires the careful combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. To understand the factors involved in the outcome of these patients, the authors undertook a study of patients treated for limited stage SCLC. The charts of 194 consecutive patients treated at our facilities between 1986 and 1994 were reviewed. All patients underwent thoracic radiation therapy (TRT), 50% received prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), and all but one received chemotherapy. The probability of survival at 5 years was 14%, and the disease-free survival (DFS) was 17%. Patients receiving a combination of platinum and etoposide (PE) and Cytoxan (Bristol-Myers, Evansville, IN, U.S.A.), Adriamycin (Adria Laboratories, Dublin, OH, U.S.A.), and Vincristine (Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN, U.S.A.) (CAV) experienced a DFS at 3 years of 31%, versus 14% for CAV only and 18% for PE only (p = 0.004). In a multivariate survival analysis, only PCI (p = 0.001), having received PE and CAV (p = 0.01), and response to treatment (p = 0.001) were significant. Radiation dose and field size did not influence outcome. The combination of PE and CAV chemotherapy produced the best results in our series. Unanswered questions regarding the optimal TRT dose, field size, and timing of TRT await the results of ongoing randomized trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile colitis (CDC) in a subset of patients admitted specifically to a surgical service. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA CDC is an increasingly prevalent nosocomial infection that can prolong hospitalization and adversely affect patient outcome. Although this disease has been investigated extensively in patients admitted to medical services, the incidence and risk factors for the development of this disease in patients admitted to a surgical service have not been studied. METHODS Over a 5-month period, 374 patients admitted to the general, vascular, thoracic, and urologic surgery services were monitored for the development of symptomatic CDC (defined as >3 bowel movements per 24 hours and a positive cytotoxin assay or culture). RESULTS Twenty-one patients developed CDC (incidence, 5.6%). Factors that independently predisposed to infection included admission from a skilled care facility, use of the antibiotic cefoxitin, and an operative procedure for bowel obstruction. Other factors associated with CDC included colectomy, treatment with any antibiotic, nasogastric tube suction, advanced age, and prior antibiotic treatment. Abdominal pain and fever were also more common in patients with CDC. Morbidity included prolonged hospitalization in all patients and urgent colectomy in one. CONCLUSIONS CDC frequently affects surgical patients, producing morbidity ranging from mild diarrhea to life-threatening illness. A variety of factors, many of which are associated with intestinal stasis, predispose to the development of CDC.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, the coordinated activation of different cyclin-dependent kinases regulates entry into S-phase. In vitro and in nonproliferating cells, p27 associates with and inhibits cyclin/cycin-dependent kinase (CDK) holoenzymes containing either CDK4, CDK6, or CDK2. Although many different types of proliferating cells contain p27 protein, neither the interactions of p27 with cyclin/CDK complexes nor the consequences of this interaction during the mitotic cycle have been fully explored. We report that, in MANCA cells, the amount of p27 is constant during the cell cycle. In addition, p27 associates with three different CDKs: CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6. Furthermore, the amount of p27 is significantly lower than the amount of cyclin D3 in these cells. The amount of CDK4 and CDK6 associated with p27 does not change in a cell cycle-dependent fashion; in contrast, the amount of CDK2 associated with p27 is lowest in early G1 cells and increases to a maximum in mid-G1 phase, reaching a steady-state level in late G1-phase cells. After mid-G1 phase, the amount of each p27/CDK complex remains constant through the remainder of the cell cycle. p27-immunoprecipitates contain an Rb-kinase activity. The substrate specificity, the expression pattern of this kinase, and the ability to deplete 50% of this kinase activity with a CDK6-specific antibody suggest that the CDK6 protein mediates, in part, the p27-associated Rb-kinase activity. In contrast, p27 complexes containing CDK2 are incapable of phosphorylating histone H1. These data are consistent with a model wherein cyclin D/CDK complexes sequester the CDK2-dependent kinase inhibitory activity of p27.

Abstract
Retinoids are currently being tested for the treatment and prevention of several human cancers, including breast cancer. However, the anti-cancer and growth inhibitory mechanisms of retinoids are not well understood. All-trans retinoic acid (RA) inhibits the growth of the estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, in a reversible and dose-dependent manner. In contrast, insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I, IGF-II) and insulin are potent stimulators of the proliferation of MCF-7 and several other breast cancer cell lines. Pharmacologic doses of RA (> or = 10(-6) M) completely inhibit IGF-I-stimulated MCF-7 cell growth. Published data suggest that the growth inhibitory action of RA on IGF-stimulated cell growth is linear and dose-dependent, similar to RA inhibition of unstimulated or estradiol-stimulated MCF-7 cell growth. Surprisingly, we have found that IGF-I or insulin-stimulated cell growth is increased to a maximum of 132% and 127%, respectively, by cotreatment with 10(-7) M RA, and that 10(-9) - 10(-7) M RA increase cell proliferation compared to IGF-I or insulin alone. MCF-7 cells that stably overexpress IGF-II are also resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of 10(-9) - 10(-7) M RA. Treatment with the IGF-I receptor blocking antibody, alpha IR-3, restores RA-induced growth inhibition of IGF-I-treated or IGF-II-overexpressing MCF-7 cells, indicating that the IGF-I receptor is mediating these effects. IGFs cannot reverse all RA effects since the altered cell culture morphology of RA-treated cells is similar in growth-inhibited cultures and in IGF-II expressing clones that are resistant to RA-induced growth inhibition. These results indicate that RA action on MCF-7 cells is biphasic in the presence of IGF-I or insulin with 10(-9) - 10(-7) M RA enhancing cell proliferation and > or = 10(-6) M RA causing growth inhibition. As IGF-I and IGF-II ligands are frequently detectable in breast tumor tissues, their potential for modulation of RA effects should be considered when evaluating retinoids for use in in vivo experimental studies and for clinical purposes. Additionally, the therapeutic use of inhibitors of IGF action in combination with RA is suggested by these studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Reports of fatality related to Clostridium difficile colitis and a sharp increase in prevalence of this infection prompted a study of patients who develop a more aggressive form of this disease. METHODS Over 38 months, 710 patients at our institution developed C. difficile colitis. Twenty-one (3 percent) of these patients either required intensive care unit admission or died as a result of their infection. A retrospective, case-controlled study was undertaken to compare these patients, who were considered to have severe C. difficile colitis, with the remaining patients with milder disease. RESULTS Factors that predisposed to the development of severe C. difficile colitis included intercurrent malignancy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunosuppressive and antiperistaltic medications, renal failure, and administration of clindamycin (P < 0.05 for all). Patients with severe C. difficile colitis were more likely to have abdominal pain, tenderness and distention, peritonitis, hemoconcentration (> 5 points), hypoalbuminemia (< 3 mg/dl), and elevated or suppressed white blood cell count (> 25,000; < 1,500; P < 0.05 for all). These factors were used to create a scoring system that could distinguish between patients with severe C. difficile colitis and those with mild disease. Thirteen patients in the late stages of terminal illness with metastatic malignancy or age > 90 were considered poor or inappropriate surgical candidates. Only the remaining eight patients could have potentially recovered from operation with hope for long-term survival. Of these, seven were treated without colonic resection, and six of the seven survived, whereas one patient underwent colectomy and did not survive. CONCLUSIONS Patients with severe C. difficile colitis can be readily identified. Often they have coexisting illness that precludes operation. In this series, only 1 of 21 patients with severe C. difficile might have benefited from an aggressive surgical approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate methods of parastomal hernia repair. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING Two tertiary care institutions. PATIENTS Eighty patients undergoing 94 parastomal hernia repairs between 1983 and 1991. INTERVENTIONS Three methods of repair were examined: fascial repair, stoma relocation, and fascial repair with prosthetic material. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Parastomal hernia recurrence and short- and long-term complications. RESULTS Fifty-five (93%) of 59 living patients were available and examined at a median of 31.5 months following repair, providing 68 repairs for consideration. Fascial repair was used in 36 cases, stoma relocation in 25 cases, and fascial repair with prosthetic material in seven cases. Overall, 63% of patients developed a recurrent parastomal hernia and 63% had at least one postoperative complication. Following first-time repair, parastomal hernia recurrence developed in 22 (76%) of 29 patients who had fascial repair but in only six (33%) of 18 patients who had stoma relocation (P < .01). When repair was undertaken for recurrent parastomal hernia, fascial repair failed in all seven cases, stoma relocation failed in five (71%) of seven cases, and fascial repair with prosthetic material failed in one (33%) of three cases. The only factor that significantly affected the recurrence rate was the technique of repair. Complications were more common following stoma relocation (88%) than following fascial repair (50%) (P < .05). In particular, incisional hernias developed in 52% of patients following stoma relocation but in only 3% of patients following fascial repair. When postoperative occurrence of all abdominal-wall hernias was compared, there was no significant difference between the fascial repair group (29 [81%] of 36 repairs) and the stoma relocation group (17 [68%] of 25 repairs). Furthermore, the reoperation rate for hernia repair was nearly identical (31% vs 28%) between these two groups. CONCLUSIONS Parastomal hernia repair is often unsuccessful and rarely without complication. For first-time parastomal hernia repairs, stoma relocation is superior to fascial repair. For recurrent parastomal hernias, repair with prosthetic material is the most promising of a group of poor alternatives.

Abstract
Child abuse is a common pediatric problem that can be recognized and treated appropriately by all primary care physicians who care for children. One of the necessary skills in this process involves being prepared to interface with the legal system. The physician is mandated to report suspected child abuse according to his or her state laws. He or she must be aware of the legal recourses for child protection in cases when the child remains at risk. When interacting with the child, a number of legal considerations can guide the physician in obtaining information with history, physical examination, and specimen collection. Finally, the physician may be called to testify. An understanding of how to prepare for court and how to conduct oneself in court is the final necessary skill for the primary care physician who sees children. This article provides the primary care physician with a practical understanding of the legal considerations in child abuse.

Abstract
The electron-dense granules that lie just below the apical plasma membrane of granular epithelial cells of toad urinary bladder contribute glycoproteins to that apical membrane. Also, exocytosis of granules (and tubules) elicited by antidiuretic hormone potentially doubles that apical surface, during the same period the transport changes characteristic of the hormonal response occur. Granules separated from other membrane systems of the cells provide the material to assess the importance of the granules as glycocalyx precursors and in hormone action. We used isosmotic media to effect preliminary separations by differential centrifugation. Then granules were isolated by centrifugation on self-forming gradients of Percoll of decreasing hypertonicity. We find qualitative and quantitative changes in protein composition and enzymic activities in the isolated fractions. The primary criterion for granule purification was electron microscopic morphology. In addition, polypeptide species found in the granule fraction are limited in number and quantity. The granules are enzymically and morphologically not lysosomal in nature. Granules may provide the glycoproteins of the apical glycocalyx but they differ from the isolated plasma membrane fraction enzymically, in protein composition and in proportion of esterified cholesterol. We conclude that the granules are not "average" plasma membrane precursors. Their role in the membrane properties of the toad urinary bladder may now be evaluated by characterizing permeability and other properties of the isolated organelles.

Abstract
The luminal (apical) border of the epithelium of the bladder in the well-hydrated toad is relatively impermeable, so the bladder usually stores hyposmotic urine. When antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increases apical membrane osmotic permeability dramatically, water is resorbed from hyposmotic mucosal solution; in the presence of hyposmotic or isosmotic mucosal solutions, ADH concomitantly induces exocytosis at the apical border of granule-rich (G) cells. Then ADH induces endocytosis at this border. We describe how an osmotic gradient affects ADH-induced endocytosis and hydroosmosis in vitro. We can assess ADH-induced endocytosis in gradient and no-gradient bladders by applying a double-marker technique that distinguishes among endocytosis, completed internalization of previously surface-attached membrane, and surface invagination by comparing the number of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) uptake bodies (endocytosis) with the number of ruthenium red (RR)-delineated bodies (surface invaginations). With this approach we find that gradient bladders have approximately six times more ADH-induced endocytosis than no-gradient bladders during 45-60 min of ADH stimulation. Furthermore, at 60 min approximately 50% of the HRP-containing structures in no-gradient bladders remain surface connected compared with approximately 1% in gradient bladders. In parallel physiological studies, no-gradient bladders reach and maintain higher induced osmotic permeabilities than gradient bladders. These findings support the hypothesis that endocytosis plays an active role in reestablishing impermeable apical surface characteristics in toad bladder.

Abstract
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increases transepithelial flux of water and particular solutes across the amphibian urinary bladder and mammalian collecting duct by increasing the permeability of the apical surface. We find that if each challenge with ADH is ended by replacing the medium bathing both the mucosal and serosal surfaces of the toad bladder, then rechallenge with the same supramaximal dose of ADH 36-100 min later produces flux equivalent to or greater than the original response, but rechallenge after 15 min produces only 68% of the original response. If the medium bathing the mucosal surface is neither replaced nor returned to its original volume, complete recovery of the osmotic flux response to ADH does not occur. Maximal restimulation by ADH occurs with transepithelial osmotic gradients between 119 and 180 mosmol/kg during both challenges (the serosal bath is always isotonic amphibian Ringers). In addition, ADH-containing serosal baths that have maximally activated transport across bladders for 30-60 min can be reused and again produce maximal activation of ADH responses in fresh bladders or in the original bladders after washing. These results are in contradistinction to reports of desensitization of transepithelial flux upon rechallenge with ADH after an initial stimulation under many conditions. Our findings suggest that desensitization in vitro may result from experimental design rather than intrinsic biological characteristics of the system.

Abstract
Transport, unidirectional flux, of a monosaccharide, a nucleoside and three amino acids, all of which enter cells by independent, discrete carriers, was compared at three stages of erythroid maturation, the normal (anucleate) mouse erythrocyte, and in differentiated and undifferentiated Friend erythroleukemia cells. We found specific transport alterations during this developmental program. Transport of 3-O-methylglucose increased with each successive developmental stage. Aminoisobutyrate transport was maintained during Friend cell differentiation, but fell slightly in erythrocytes. Leucine, lysine and uridine transport began to fall two days after dimethylsulfoxide exposure, and diminished further in red cells. These studies of transport are not directly comparable to uptake studies reported by others. Median cell volume and thus surface area decreased more during differentiation than amino acid transport declined, so flux, transport past a unit area of membrane, actually increased. Monosaccharide flux also increased. Only uridine transport fell in parallel to surface area. Perhaps sites for nutrient transport required for energy production are preferentially maintained.
