Abstract
Epileptic patients have to continue anti-epileptic drugs (AED) over a long period of time which can have deleterious effects on the endocrine system including the thyroid hormones with rare check. Risk factors for the development of thyroid dysfunction are still unclear. Therefore the aim of study was to evaluate thyroid functions in epileptic patients receiving anti-epileptic drugs (AED) as monotherapy and polytherapy and to determine potential risk of low thyroid function in epileptic patients receiving treatment. This cross-sectional study included 100 epilepsy patients more than 12 years of age. Serum levels of free thyroxin (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were evaluated in all subjects in addition to serum AED levels. TSH levels were found to be significantly higher in the polytherapy subgroup (p < 0.05) in comparison to the monotherapy group. 44% of the patients in the VPA monotherapy group had raised TSH levels and 41.2% of the patients on CBZ had low FT4. A significant negative correlation was observed between CBZ and FT4 (p < 0.05). Female sex and old age were additional risk factors detected for deranged thyroid function. Female patients with epilepsy, an older age and AED polytherapy were found to be associated with a higher risk of thyroid dysfunction. Thus, Thyroid function in these patients should be monitored closely. In conclusion, we observed significant changes in thyroid hormone levels in patients receiving antiepileptic treatment in both monotherapy and polytherapy. Elevated CBZ levels were significantly associated with decreased FT4 levels.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the time-to-event and the evolution of sacral insufficiency fractures in gynaecological patients receiving pelvic external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in relation to dosimetric and imaging parameters across a spectrum of radiotherapy delivery techniques, and to develop a predictive model with a clinical nomogram to identify those at risk of sacral insufficiency fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who received radical or adjuvant pelvic EBRT for gynaecological malignancy between 2014 and 2019 were identified. The data collected were: demographics and clinical details; radiotherapy planning data: dose, fractionation, technique (fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy, adaptive arc, and non-adaptive arc), 60 Gy simultaneous integrated boost. Each plan was examined to determine the sacral dose in 5%/Gy3 increments. Follow-up magnetic resonance scans were reviewed for insufficiency fractures, defined as linear low T1-weighted signal intensity with a high short-T1 inversion recovery (STIR) signal. The site of insufficiency fracture was recreated on the planning computed tomography, the dose to insufficiency fracture contours was recorded and insufficiency fractures were determined as healed with resolution of high STIR signal. Univariable analysis was conducted of the clinical variables. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve and odds ratio of the risk prediction model with 95% confidence interval are reported with a nomogram for use in clinical practice. RESULTS 115 patients were identified; the median imaging follow-up was 12 months (2-47). 37.4% developed sacral insufficiency fractures; 93.0% were detected within 12 months of EBRT. At the final radiological follow-up, 83.7% of insufficiency fractures remained active. The radiotherapy delivery technique was not associated with insufficiency fracture after adjusting for patient age (P = 0.115). The location of the 60 Gy simultaneous integrated boost planning target volume did not impact upon the site of insufficiency fracture or the dose received by the insufficiency fracture sites. Age and V40Gy3 are predictors for insufficiency fracture and form the clinical risk model (receiver operator characteristic 0.72). CONCLUSIONS Age and V40Gy3 predict sacral insufficiency fractures; future work should focus on optimising radiotherapy planning with adoption of a bone-sparing planning approach for those patients at high risk of insufficiency fracture.

Abstract
Aim: microRNA-423 is an oncogenic factor which is frequently upregulated in cancer. However, associations with breast cancer risk remain inconsistent. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of microRNA-423 rs6505162C>T gene variation with breast cancer susceptibility in Saudi women. Methodology: This study was conducted on 100 breast cancer patients and 124 matched healthy individuals. Genotyping of the microRNA-423 rs6505162C/T gene variation was performed by using the amplification refractory mutation system PCR method (ARMS-PCR). Results: A significant difference was observed in the genotype distribution between the breast cancer cases and controls (p=0.0001), the frequencies of the genotypes CC,CT and TT being 25%, 52% and 23% in patients and 65%,20% and 15% respectively, in controls. The microRNA-423 C>T variant was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in codominant models for (OR = 6.73, 95 % CI, 3.50-12.97; RR 2.35(1.67-3.30, p=0.0001) the microRNA-423TT genotype and (OR = 4.14, 95 % CI, 1.93-8.87; p=0.0003) microRNA-423CT (OR= 6.73, 95% CI, 3.50-12.97; p=0.0001) and also with the dominant model (OR 5.6(3.14-1.01), p=0.0001) CT+TT vs CC) with a non-significant association for the recessive model (OR=1.75, 95%CI=0.08-3.44, P=0.139, TT vs CC+CT). The T allele significantly increased the risk of breast cancer (OR =2.63, 95 % CI, 1.77-3.91; p=0.001) compared to the C allele. Some 6.73 ,4.14 and 2.63 fold increased risk of developing breast cancer was associated with TT and CT genotypes and the T allele of microRNA-423 in the northwestern region of Saudi Arabia. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the microRNA-423 TT genotype and the T allele are associated with an increased susceptibility, metastasis and advanced stage of breast cancer in Saudi Arabian patients. Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent reviews suggest that the way in which surgeons prepare for a procedure (warm up) can affect performance. Operating lists present a natural experiment to explore this phenomenon. The aim was to use a routinely collected large data set on surgical procedures to understand the relationship between case list order and operative performance. METHOD Theatre lists involving the 35 procedures performed most frequently by senior surgeons across 38 private hospitals in the UK over 26 months were examined. A linear mixed-effects model and matched analysis were used to estimate the impact of list order and the cost of switching between procedures on a list while controlling for key prognosticators. The influence of procedure method (open versus minimally invasive) and complexity was also explored. RESULTS The linear mixed-effects model included 255 757 procedures, and the matched analysis 48 632 pairs of procedures. Repeating the same procedure in a list resulted in an overall time saving of 0·98 per cent for each increase in list position. Switching between procedures increased the duration by an average of 6·48 per cent. The overall reduction in operating time from completing the second procedure straight after the first was 6·18 per cent. This pattern of results was consistent across procedure method and complexity. CONCLUSION There is a robust relationship between operating list composition and surgical performance (indexed by duration of operation). An evidence-based approach to structuring a theatre list could reduce the total operating time.

Abstract
Trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TACs) include a spectrum of primary headache syndromes associated with cranial autonomic dysfunction. Other types of headache and facial pain syndromes can be associated with marked localized facial or ear autonomic changes. We report on a group of patients suffering from episodic migraine with cranial autonomic features, patients with different presentations of the ‘red ear syndrome’ (RES), cluster headache with prominent lower facial involvement and crossover cases. In our experience crossover between TACs and migraine, RES and cluster headache is not uncommon. We propose that all these conditions belong to the same group and a unifying causative mechanism is proposed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION TP53 gene is the most frequently altered tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer. It has been observed that MDM2 plays a central role in regulating the TP53 pathway. This study aimed to investigate the role of TP53 Arg72Pro and MDM2 T309G polymorphisms in breast cancer patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD The TP53 (Arg72Pro) and MDM2 (T309G) polymorphisms were studied in a hospital-based case control study by AS-PCR in 100 breast cancer patients and 100 healthy control subjects. RESULTS It was observed that TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism was significantly associated with breast cancer (χ (2) = 9.92, p = 0.007). A significantly increased breast cancer risk was associated with the Proline allele [odds ratio 1.84 (95 % CI: 1.22-2.77), risk ratio 1.34 (95 % CI: 1.11-1.63), p value 0.003], HER2/neu status (p = 0.01) and distant metastasis (p = 0.05). On the other hand, we have found a significant correlation between MDM2 (T309G) polymorphism with HER2/neu status (χ (2) = 11.14, p = 0.003) and distant metastasis (p value = 0.04). CONCLUSION Our finding suggests that TP53 (Arg72Pro) polymorphism may play a significant role as risk factor for breast cancer in north Indian breast cancer patients. While MDM2 (T309G) polymorphism may not be directly associated with the risk of breast cancer occurrence in the same population, but it may play role in disease progression by triggering TP53.

Abstract
The chromatin organizer SATB1 has been implicated in the development and progression of multiple cancers including breast and colorectal cancers. However, the regulation and role of SATB1 in colorectal cancers is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that expression of SATB1 is induced upon hyperactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and repressed upon depletion of TCF7L2 (TCF4) and β-catenin. Using several colorectal cancer cell line models and the APC min mutant zebrafish in vivo model, we established that SATB1 is a novel target of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. We show that direct binding of TCF7L2/β-catenin complex on Satb1 promoter is required for the regulation of SATB1. Moreover, SATB1 is sufficient to regulate the expression of β-catenin, members of TCF family, multiple downstream effectors and mediators of Wnt pathway. SATB1 potentiates the cellular changes and expression of key cancer-associated genes in non-aggressive colorectal cells, promotes their aggressive phenotype and tumorigenesis in vivo. Conversely, depletion of SATB1 from aggressive cells reprograms the expression of cancer-associated genes, reverses their cancer phenotype and reduces the potential of these cells to develop tumors in vivo. We also show that SATB1 and β-catenin bind to the promoters of TCF7L2 and the downstream targets of Wnt signaling and regulate their expression. Our findings suggest that SATB1 shares a feedback regulatory network with TCF7L2/β-catenin signaling and is required for Wnt signaling-dependent regulation of β-catenin. Collectively, these results provide unequivocal evidence to establish that SATB1 reprograms the expression of tumor growth- and metastasis-associated genes to promote tumorigenesis and functionally overlaps with Wnt signaling critical for colorectal cancer tumorigenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRs) have been implicated in the etiology of various human cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the expression of three members--miR 200a, miR 200b, and miR 200c belonging to the miR-200 family with clinicopathological characteristics and their impact on the progression of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Total RNA from serum was isolated by Trizol method, polyadenylated, and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Expression levels of miR-200a, miR-200b, and miR-200c were detected by using miRNA qRT-PCR. We measured miR expression in 70 serum samples of EOC patients with matched controls using U6 snRNA as a reference. Levels of miR expression was compared with distinct clinicopathological features. RESULTS Expression of miR-200a was found to be greater than six-fold (p = 0.01), miR-200b and miR-200c greater than three-fold (p = 0.01) in comparison with matched normal controls. Association of miRNA expression with clinicopathological factors and progression was statistically evaluated. The expression levels of miR-200a and miR-200c were found to be significantly associated with disease progression (p = 0.04 and p < 0.001, respectively). miR-200a overexpression was found be associated with tumor histology and stage. Patients with lymph node metastasis showed significant elevation of miR-200c (p = 0.006). The AUC in ROC curve also indicated that serum levels of miR-200a and miR-200c might be worthwhile as a diagnostic tool in the near future. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that miR-200a, miR-200b, and miR-200c overexpressions are associated with the aggressive tumor progression and be recognized as reliable markers to predict the prognosis and survival in EOC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) gene is a well-known regulator of apoptosis and a key element in cancer development and progression. A regulatory (-938C>A, rs2279115) single-nucleotide polymorphism in the inhibitory P2 BCL-2 gene promoter generates significantly different BCL-2 promoter activities and has been associated with different clinical outcomes in various malignancies. The aim of the present study was to analyze the possible influence of the (-938C>A) SNP on the risk and survival of Indian patients suffering from NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS A hospital-based case-control study of 155 age- and sex-matched patients diagnosed with NSCLC and 155 cancer-free controls was conducted and genotyped by performing PIRA-PCR to elucidate the putative association between clinical outcome and genotypes of BCL-2 (-938C>A, rs2279115). The association of the polymorphism with the survival of NSCLC patients was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS In Indian NSCLC, patients increased risk of developing NSCLC was found to be associated with BCL-2 (-938) CC genotype, [OR 3.68 (1.92-6.79), RR 1.87 (1.35-2.57) and RD 31.03 (16.79-45.27) p 0.00006 for CC and OR 2.08 (1.18-3.66), RR 1.36 (1.08-1.71) and RD 17.74 (4.68-30.81) p 0.01 for AC genotype]. Patients homozygous for C allele exhibited a significant poor overall survival compared with patients displaying AC + CC or AC or AA genotype [median survival (months) 8 vs. 11 vs. 14 vs. 35.5 (p < 0.0001)]. In addition, significant associations were observed between TNM stage, histological type, distant metastases status, family history of any cancer, gender and age group of NSCLC patients with BCL-2 (-938C>A) polymorphism. CONCLUSION Genetic polymorphism in the inhibitory P2 promoter region of anti-apoptotic BCL-2 genes contributes to the risk of developing non-small-cell lung cancer in Indian population. BCL-2 (-938CC) genotype was an independent adverse prognostic factor for patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For more than two decades, Epi Info software has been used to meet the data management, analysis, and mapping needs of public health professionals in more than 181 countries and 13 languages. Until now, most Epi Info systems have been relatively simple, mainly because of a lack of detailed and structured guidance for developing complex systems. OBJECTIVE AND RESULTS We created the structured application framework for Epi Info (SAFE), which is a set of guidelines that allows developers to create both simple and complex information systems using accepted good programming practices. This has resulted in application code blocks that are re-useable and easy to maintain, modify, and enhance. The flexibility of SAFE allows various aggregate and case-based application modules to be rapidly created, combined, and updated to create health information systems or sub-systems enabling continuous, incremental enhancement as national and local capacity increases. CONCLUSIONS SAFE and Epi Info are both cost-free and have low system requirements--characteristics that render this framework and software beneficial for developing countries.

Abstract
Because most hemodialysis access fails at the venous side, we studied samples of brachial vein obtained during access creation in 15 patients with end-stage renal disease who gave consent. Veins were examined by computer-assisted histomorphometry, and the results correlated with the patients' clinical data. The mean venous medial width was 239 +/- 31 microm, and mean intimal width was 6.0 +/- 0.9 microm. Mean venous medial width was 358 +/- 74 microm and mean venous intimal width was 9.2 +/- 1.2 microm in the 4 patients who had been undergoing dialysis more than 6 months, compared with 196 +/- 23 microm and 4.9 +/- 0.8 microm, respectively, in the 11 patients undergoing dialysis less than 6 months (P < 0.01). The number of months undergoing hemodialysis correlated well with venous medial width (r = 0.79; P < 0.001). Correlation between number of months undergoing dialysis and intimal width did not reach statistical significance. Medial and intimal widths of the 4 patients with diabetes were not significantly different from those of the patients without diabetes. Serum parathyroid hormone level did not correlate with either medial or intimal venous width. We conclude there may be changes in the veins of hemodialysis patients with time that cause thickening of layers, even in veins not directly used for access. This may affect the creation or survival of subsequent vascular accesses.

Abstract
We report the case of a 27-year-old Asian man who self-medicated with two capsules of rifampin 1 year after completing a continuous course of chemotherapy for tuberculosis that included that drug. He developed flank pain and edema and presented with uremia requiring dialysis; despite this, he had a serum potassium of only 3.5 mEq/L. Renal biopsy showed interstitial infiltrate with inflammation of the tubules. Renal function began to improve after a 3-week course of prednisone. This case is remarkable for the severity of the renal failure despite such a minimal self-exposure.

Abstract
Papillary structures and intranuclear inclusions, features which are not ordinarily associated with Hurthle-cell lesions, are occasionally noted within Hurthle-cell-rich aspirates. The diagnostic significance of these features in this setting, if any, is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these features are diagnostically useful. Specifically, since fine-needle aspiration cytology cannot distinguish between Hurthle-cell adenoma and carcinoma, we wanted to know whether the presence of either feature might aid in preoperatively assessing the likelihood of carcinoma vs. adenoma. We identified 12 cases in which a diagnosis of Hurthle-cell lesion was made by thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy. All cases had subsequent surgery. For every case, all cytology slides were reviewed for the presence or absence of papillary structures and intranuclear inclusions, after which the findings were correlated with the final surgical pathological diagnosis. Seven of the 12 cases had identifiable papillary structures, ranging from cases where papillary structures comprised the predominant architectural pattern to cases where rare papillary structures were found amidst a predominance of sheets and single Hurthle cells. Four of the 12 cases had intranuclear inclusions. In all cases, intranuclear inclusions were uncommon. Of 6 cases that proved to be Hurthle-cell carcinoma, 5 had papillary structures on the antecedent fine-needle aspirate cytology, and 2 had intranuclear inclusions. Of 6 cases that proved to be Hurthle-cell adenoma, 2 had papillary structures, and 2 had intranuclear inclusions. Papillary structures had a sensitivity of 83% for the presence of carcinoma, a specificity of 66%, a positive predictive value of 71%, and a negative predictive value of 80% (P = 0.2). Intranuclear inclusions had a sensitivity of 33%, a specificity of 66%, and positive and negative predictive values of 50%. Papillary structures are more common in Hurthle-cell aspirates than previously recognized. Their presence is not diagnostic of carcinoma, but neither does their absence rule out carcinoma. However, when found, the likelihood of an ultimate diagnosis of Hurthle-cell carcinoma is increased. On the other hand, intranuclear inclusions, when rare, appear to have no diagnostic value.

Abstract
The proliferative index of 63 breast carcinomas was measured on Ki-67 immunostained frozen tissue sections with a computer-assisted image analysis system. The mean proliferative index in estrogen-positive breast carcinomas was lower than in estrogen-negative carcinomas. An inverse relationship between proliferative index and short-term disease-free survival was noted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The time window of the benefits of late reperfusion on infarct shape is limited. In rats, these benefits diminish in a wave front over time, with minimal benefits when reperfusion follows 16 hours of coronary occlusion. The mechanism of the benefits of aspirin on survival after acute myocardial infarction is unknown. The purpose of this study was to test the ability of aspirin to enhance the benefits of late coronary artery reperfusion on infarct shape and to examine the mechanism of the benefits of aspirin on infarct shape. METHODS AND RESULTS Rats were entered into two different protocols, the morphometric and the histological protocols. In the morphometric protocol, rats were randomized into two groups: the aspirin group, in which rats underwent left coronary artery occlusion followed by treatment with aspirin (12 mg/kg i.v.), and the control group, in which rats underwent left coronary artery occlusion followed by treatment with placebo. Rats in both groups were reperfused 8 hours after coronary occlusion. Rats in the aspirin group received aspirin in the drinking water (12 +/- 2 mg/kg daily). Morphometric analysis was performed 2 weeks after acute myocardial infarction. In the histological protocol, rats underwent the same randomization, coronary occlusion, and reperfusion protocols. Hearts were removed 24 hours after coronary occlusion, and microvessels were assessed for patency. Infarct size expressed as a percent of circumference was similar in the aspirin and placebo treatment groups (28 +/- 2% versus 33 +/- 3%, P = NS). Septal thickness was also similar in both groups (1.8 +/- 0.1 versus 2.1 +/- 0.1 mm, P = NS for aspirin versus placebo). The aspirin-treated group had thicker infarcts compared with the placebo-treated group (0.8 +/- 0.1 versus 0.5 +/- 0.1 mm, P < .05) and less expanded infarcts (expansion index, 1.2 +/- 0.1 versus 2.0 +/- 0.2, P < .05). Aspirin was associated with increased patency of the microvessels in the infarcted area compared with the placebo group (96% versus 64% of microvessels patent, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Aspirin enhances the benefit of late coronary artery reperfusion on infarct shape after 8 hours of coronary occlusion. The benefits of aspirin on infarct shape after late reperfusion are related to increased patency of the microvessels in the infarcted area.

Abstract
A patient with asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism who spontaneously became normocalcemia is reported. The only significant finding was that of pain and tenderness in the enlarged parathyroid gland 2 weeks prior to surgery. This was due to a recent infarction of a parathyroid adenoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This article reviews the salient pathologic and clinical features of 171 patients with Stage III-IV disease who were 60 years of age or older who were treated on four Hodgkin disease (HD) protocols from 1969 to 1988. METHODS Pretherapy sections were reviewed centrally for correlation of the histologic classification with anatomic sites of involvement and survival. RESULTS The diagnosis of HD was confirmed in 114 (66.7%) patients. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and a miscellaneous non-HD group accounted for 52 (30.4%) and 5 (2.9%) of the cases. The overall median survival times of patients with Stage III-IV HD and NHL who were 60 years of age or older in the four protocols were not significantly different (1.5 versus 1.3 years, respectively; P = 0.28). There also was no significant correlation between the survival of these patients with HD and either the Rye classification, 19 specific histologic parameters, or the British National Lymphoma Investigation grading system for HDNS. In the last protocol, the 5-year survival rate of patients with HD who were 60 years of age or older was lower than that of patients 40-59 years of age or that of those younger than 40 years of age (31% versus 63% versus 79%, respectively, P < 0.0001). Patients with HD entered into the two most recent protocols showed lower incidences of involvement of cervical and iliac-inguinal-femoral lymph nodes and skin-subcutaneous tissues than the patients with NHL who were misdiagnosed as HD. Moreover, patients with Stage III-IV HD in the most recent protocol who were 60 years of age or older had lower rates of involvement of the cervical and mediastinal-hilar lymph nodes and a higher rate of involvement of the gastrointestinal tract than younger patients. CONCLUSIONS Patients with Stage III-IV HD and NHL who are 60 years of age or older differ with respect to the rates of involvement of specific anatomic sites but not in survival when treated with HD protocols. In contrast, patients of different age groups with Stage III-IV HD disease differ with regard to the rates of involvement of anatomic sites and survival.

Abstract
The proliferative activity in 42 cases of breast cancer were assessed immunohistochemically using antibodies to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki-67. These indices were correlated with the steroid receptor status, pathologic stage, and disease-free survival. There was a strong direct correlation between the two proliferation indices (r = .902, P < 0.001, Kendall's rank correlation). There was a weak correlation between the hormone receptor status and proliferation indices that was not significant when statistically tested. The cases were stratified into PCNA low proliferative index (PI) group (< 4.5% positive cells) and PCNA high PI group (> 4.5% positive cells). In the low PI group, five of 18 (28%) patients were node-positive in contrast to eight of 14 (58%) patients in the high PI group. After a follow-up period of 42-60 months, 14 of 19 (74%) patients in the low PI group were disease-free compared to 10 of 17 (53%) patients in the high PI group. The PCNA and Ki-67 proliferative indices appear to be of great prognostic value and may help identify a subset of breast cancer patients who should be given adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Solitary choristomas containing gastrointestinal mucosa occur rarely in the tongue and the oral mucosa and usually present as an asymptomatic mass. This report documents the occurrence of two congenital intraoral cystic choristomas in a 5-month-old male infant. The cysts were located on the dorsum of the base of the tongue and left floor of mouth anterior to the lingual cyst. Both cysts were lined by nonkeratinizing squamous epithelium and gastric, intestinal, and respiratory epithelium. The cysts were excised by an oral approach.

Abstract
The peptide angiotensin II (AngII) has been reported to stimulate phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) activity in the murine neuroblastoma cell line N1E-115. In the present study, polyclonal antibodies raised against a PLC isoenzyme, PLC-alpha, reacted with a 60-kDa protein present in both membrane and cytosolic fractions of differentiated N1E-115 cells. In order to examine the possible association of PLC-alpha with cell surface AngII receptors (AngII-Rs), membranes from differentiated N1E-115 cells were solubilized, using the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). CHAPS (1%) solubilized AngII-Rs, from N1E-115 cells, that maintained their high affinity for agonists. Gel filtration analysis of the solubilized membranes revealed that the majority of the specific binding of 125I-AngII eluted as a large protein complex with a molecular mass of 380 kDa and that agonist binding was partially reduced by guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S), within this complex. CHAPS also effectively solubilized immunoreactive PLC-alpha, from N1E-115 cell membranes, that was similarly present within the 380-kDa AngII-binding complex. Anti-PLC-alpha antisera immunoprecipitated approximately 16% of the total phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-specific PLC activity in the 1% CHAPS extract and 40% of cytosolic PLC activity. Moreover, a 60-kDa 35S-Trans S-labeled protein, comigrating with immunoreactive PLC-alpha, was immunoprecipitated from the 1% CHAPS extract by the antisera. In addition, anti-PLC-alpha antisera immunoprecipitated approximately 20% of solubilized AngII-Rs prebound with 125I-AngII but failed to precipitate receptors prebound with the antagonist 125I-Sarc1,Ile8-AngII. The anti-PLC-alpha antisera also immunoprecipitated AngII-Rs when intact membranes were labeled with 125I-AngII before solubilization in 1% CHAPS, suggesting that the AngII-R interaction with PLC-alpha was not the result of detergent-promoted protein-protein interaction. On the other hand, monoclonal antibodies against another PLC isozyme, PLC-gamma, did not precipitate AngII-Rs in solubilized N1E-115 membranes. Finally, the formation of the immunoprecipitated AngII-R-PLC-alpha complex was disrupted by the nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotide analog GTP gamma S, suggesting that the interaction between AngII-Rs and PLC-alpha is likely to involve a heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein in neuron-like cells.

Abstract
The nuclear DNA of human breast carcinoma cells was studied by image analysis using archival paraffin-blocked tissues from two groups of patients with breast cancers. One group had survived greater than 10 years (N = 20) and the other less than 3 years (N = 26) after the initial diagnosis. Cellular preparations were made from pepsin-digested deparaffinated sections. The nuclear DNA was stained with Feulgen stain and measured by a computerized image analysis system. The data show that in addition to nodal status the pattern of DNA histograms obtained from image analysis can provide powerful prognostic information in breast carcinoma. The prognostic value of DNA histogram patterns may be independent of nodal status.
