Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the oncologic long-term safety of proximal gastrectomy for upper-third advanced gastric cancer (AGC) and Siewert type II esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer. METHODS The study enrolled patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy (PG) or total gastrectomy (TG) with standard lymph node (LN) dissection for pathologically proven upper-third AGC and EGJ cancers between January 2007 and December 2018. Propensity score-matching with a 1:1 ratio was performed to reduce the influence of confounding variables such as age, sex, tumor size, T stage, N stage, and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to analyze oncologic outcome. The prognostic factors of recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazard analysis. RESULTS Of the 713 enrolled patients in this study, 60 received PG and 653 received TG. Propensity score-matching yielded 60 patients for each group. The overall survival rates were 61.7 % in the PG group and 68.3 % in the TG group (p = 0.676). The RFS was 86.7 % in the PG group and 83.3 % in the TG group (p = 0.634). The PG group showed eight recurrences (1 anastomosis site, 1 paraaortic LN, 1 liver, 1 spleen, 1 lung, 1 splenic hilar LN, and 2 remnant stomachs). In the multivariate analysis, the operation method was not identified as a prognostic factor of tumor recurrence. CONCLUSION The patients who underwent PG had a long-term oncologic outcome similar to that for the patients who underwent TG for upper-third AGC and EGJ cancer.

Abstract
Importance Despite the increasing prevalence of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), data on the growth and malignant conversion rates based on long-term surveillance cohorts are limited. Many international guidelines recommend surveillance for benign lesions, but the optimal interval and duration are unclear. Objective To determine the optimal surveillance protocol for IPMN and propose which patients may be exempted from surveillance. Design, Setting, and Participants This large-scale, international cohort study examined data of 3825 patients with IPMN treated at 5 tertiary pancreatic centers. Included were patients with branch duct (BD) IPMN who underwent surveillance or surgery between January 1, 1988, and December 31, 2020. After a thorough review, 3656 patients were included in the analytic sample. Changes in cyst size, worrisome features or high-risk stigmata, and malignant conversion rates were assessed. Patients who underwent surveillance over 5 years were compared to suggest discontinuation of surveillance protocol. Clinical data collection began in January 1, 2021, and the mean (SD) follow-up duration was 84 (47.7) months. The data analysis was performed from May 2, 2022, through September 14, 2022. Exposure The patients with BD-IPMN were followed up based on International Association of Pancreatology guidelines. Patients with suspicious malignant neoplasms during surveillance underwent surgical resection. Main Outcome and Measures The main outcome of this study was the optimal follow-up interval and duration of BD-IPMN surveillance. The association among cyst size, growth rate, and progression was examined using descriptive statistics. Results Of the 3656 patients with BD-IPMN in the analytic sample (1973 [54.0%] female; mean [SD] age, 63.7 [10.2] years), 172 (4.7%) were confirmed to have malignant lesions through surgery. Considering cyst growth, the time to develop worrisome features, and malignant conversion, a 1.5-, 1-, and 0.5-year surveillance interval could be optimal for cysts smaller than 20 mm, 20 to 30 mm, and 30 mm, respectively, after initial short-term (6-month) follow-up. Patients with cysts smaller than 20 mm, no worrisome features, and no growth during 5-year surveillance did not show malignant conversion after 5 years of follow-up and had time to progression of greater than 10 years. Conclusions These findings suggest that BD-IPMN surveillance may depend on the size of the cyst and morphologic changes at the initial 6-month follow-up. For patients with small cysts (ie, <20 mm) with no morphologic changes during the initial 5-year surveillance period, surveillance may be discontinued for those unfit for surgery or who have a limited life expectancy of 10 years or less.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is considered to be the standard of care for locally advanced breast cancer. When pathological complete response (pCR) is obtained with NAC it is a predictor of better outcome and often used as a surrogate for survival. However, response to NAC of luminal type breast cancer is variable and mostly limited. This study investigated the predictive relevance of several clinicopathological factors, including parameters of 18F FDG-PET/CT, on the pCR to NAC in patients with luminal HER2–negative breast cancer.
Methods From 2009 to 2015, 117 hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients who were treated with NAC followed by curative surgery at the Kyungpook National University Hospital (Daegu, Korea) were retrospectively analyzed. pCR was defined as the absence of cancer cells in breast and axillary node. 18F FDG-PET/CT maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) was measured at baseline. Patients received from 6 to 8 cycles of anthracycline-based and taxane-based NAC.
Results The median age of the patients was 48 years (range-29-68 years). 104 patients (88.9%) were PR-positive, and forty-nine (41.9%) patients showed high ki-67 expression at initial diagnosis. After NAC, nine patients (7.7%) achieved pCR and patients who had high initial SUV max (≥ 9.09) achieved improved pCR rate compared to low initial SUV max (< 9.09) patients (77.8 % vs. 22.2%).
Conclusion In luminal HER2-negative breast cancer, 18F FDG-PET/CT SUV max was useful for predicting pathologic complete response after NAC

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The continuum of anti-HER2 agents is regarded as a standard strategy for HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients who had progressed disease with anti-HER2 agent- containing treatments. However, there has been lack of data on which agents should be continued and how long continuous anti-HER2 therapies would be effective. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of lapatinib plus vinorelbine in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients who had progressed on both trastuzumab and lapatinib treatments.
Methods
A total of 149 patients were randomly assigned to lapatinib with vinorelbine (LV) (n=75; laptinib, 1000mg daily ; vinorelbine 20mg/m2 D1,D8 q3w) or vinorelbine alone (V) (n=74; 30mg/m2 D1,D8 q3w). The stratification factors were followings; 1) visceral metastasis, 2) previous response to lapatinib treatment, CR+PR vs. SD ≥ 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS) rate at 18 weeks. The secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), PFS, and overall survival (OS).
Results :
Both arms were well balanced in various clinical factors. The median number of previous anti-HER2 therapies were 2 (range 2-5). There was no significant difference in PFS rate at 18 weeks between LV and V arms (44.0% vs 36.5%, p=0.44). ORR was 19.7% in LV arm and 16.9% in V arm (p=0.881). PFS and OS did not differ between two arms (LV vs V; median PFS, 16weeks vs 12 weeks, HR= 0.86, 95% CI 0.61-1.22, p=0.41; median OS, 15.0 months vs 18.9 months, HR= 1.07, 95% CI 0.72-1.58, p=0.72). In subgroup analysis, there was no difference in PFS and OS between two arms according to previous response to lapatinib (median PFS, CR+PR vs. SD ≥ 12 weeks, 12.1weeks vs.17.4 weeks; HR= 1.242, 95% CI 0.881-1.751, p=0.215; median OS, 14.9 months vs. 19.4 months; HR= 1.179, 95% CI 0.797-1.744, p=0.41). Most common adverse events in both arms were neutropenia which was more often observed in V arm (55% vs 73%, p=0.03). Overall, the profiles of adverse events were similar in both arms and all were manageable.
Conclusion
Lapatinib plus vinorelbine treatment was tolerable, however, it did not demonstrate the clinical benefits compared to vinorelbine alone in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients after progression on both trastuzumab and lapatinib.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction : A phase II, multicenter, randomized clinical trial of the comparison between eribulin plus gemcitabine (EG) and paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (PG) as first-line chemotherapy for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) found EG was less neurotoxic, but had similar efficacy of PG. In this study, we performed exploratory biomarker analysis of the impact of genetic alterations on the efficacy according to EG and PG chemotherapy.
Methods : This biomarker study was conducted using tumor samples from 40patients. When tissue collection was possible after disease progression, we performed paired sample analysis. Tumor DNA and RNA were extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. To perform targeted deep sequencing, we used CancerScanTM, a 375 cancer gene panel. And we performed an nCounter expression assay for gene expression analysis using 730 PanCancer panel and 730 Immune panel.
Results: In total, we obtained 44 tissue samples from 40 patients. Twenty two patients were assigned in EG arm and 18 patients were in PG arm. Thirty-eight were at baseline and six after disease progression. Gene expression assay were performed in 44 tissue samples but only 31 samples were possible to be targeted deep sequencing.
We performed differently expressed gene(DEG) analysis for detecting the association between level of gene expression and disease progression. In this analysis, high expression of CCNE1, TGFB4 and BAMBI and low expression of DDB2, CD14 and SHC3 were associated with disease progression among 730 PanCancer panel genes (p<0.05, respectively). In terms of immune panel genes, most of immune related genes were highly expressed in a group without disease progression compared with that with disease progression. Only 2 genes, C8G and CD24 were highly expressed in a group with disease progression. Paired sample analysis showed that expression levels of THBS4 and CD27 decreased after disease progression while those of CCNE2 and FGFR4 increased.
In targeted deep sequencing, FAT3 (42.3%) was most frequently mutated gene followed by PKHD1, PIK3CA and TP53. Among mutated genes, EWSR1 mutation and upstream mutation of ETV1 were associated with disease progression, respectively (p<0.05, respectively). In mutation signature analysis, signature 1 (S, age related), S3(homologous recombination deficiency, HRD), S6 (mismatch repair, MMR), S20(MMR) and S21(microsatellite instability, MSI) were enriched in this population. Mutation signature 3 related to short disease free survival (p=0.0026).
Conclusion: In gene expression analysis, high expression of TGF-B signaling pathway related genes was associated with disease progression while high expression of immune related genes were related to prolonged disease free survival. In mutation analysis, EWSR1 and ETV1 mutations indicated short disease free interval and HRD mutation signature was also related to poor prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the function of microRNA-137 in Del-1 expression in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and tissues.
Methods: The Del-1 mRNA and microRNA levels were measured using a qRT-PCR in breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, MCF7, SK-BR3, and T-47D) and tissues from 20 patients with TNBC. The effects of miR-137 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were determined using MTT, wound healing, and Matrigel Transwell assays.
Results: microRNA-137 (miR-137) levels were remarkably low and Del-1 mRNA expression was higher in MDA-MB-231 cells as compared to other breast cancer cell lines. The luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-137 binds directly at the 3¢-UTR of Del-1 and that Del-1 expression was downregulated by miR-137 mimics and rescued by its inhibitors. Furthermore, miR-137 inhibited the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, among the 30 TNBC specimens, miR-137 was downregulated (p <0.0001) and the level of Del-1 in plasma was significantly elevated as compared to normal controls (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions: In conclusion, miR-137 regulates Del-1 expression in TNBC via directly binding to the Del-1 gene, and thereby affects cancer progression. This suggests that miR-137 may be a new therapeutic biomarker for patients with TNBC.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of real time feedback provided by smartphone application on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance. Methods Participants were randomised in two groups based on whether chest compression with or without the assistance of the smartphone application. Both groups performed hands-only CPR on a mannequin for 4 minutes. Data on CPR performance of both groups was compared. To assess the reliability the feedback value, we compared the CPR data from Skillmeter and data from smartphone. A questionnaire survey to participants about the usefulness of the application was also evaluated. Results Twenty-one subjects were recruited for the study. We found no significant difference in mean chest compression rate (103.3±5.0/min vs. 107.1±1.7/min; p=0.133) and depth between the two groups (47.3 [39.3, 56.2] mm vs. 45.8 [40.3, 49.9] mm; p=0.085). The proportion of adequate compression depth over the total compression was significantly higher in the group using the smartphone (38.1% vs. 22.2%; p=0.034). The CPR data displayed on smartphone application in mannequin's chest was not different from Skillmeter software. The majority of the participants considered the application easy to use, but holding the smartphone during CPR hampered compression. Conclusions Real-time audio-visual feedback on CPR depth and rate using a smartphone application can help to maintain the adequate chest compression depth in prolonged CPR. A better method to hold the smartphone may maximise the feedback effect on CPR quality. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2014;21:153-160)

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is an incurable disease and is needed to improve effective chemotherapy. Paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine (PG) combination chemotherapy is one of the preferred chemotherapeutic regimens for patients with MBC, and was found to be proper as a maintenance chemotherapy regimen with survival benefit and feasible toxicity profile. Eribulin mesylate is a non-taxane inhibitor of microtubule dynamics of the halichondrin class of antineoplastic drugs. A recent pooled analysis of two phase II studies with eribulin showed improved overall survival in in various patient subgroups with advanced/metastatic breast cancer who had previously received an anthracycline and a taxane. Furthermore, eribulin may have rational benefit compared with paclitaxel in terms of neurotoxicity. Therefore, Eribulin plus Gemcitabine (EG) combination chemotherapy may have less neurotoxocity comparing to PG.
Trial Design: Prospective randomized phase 2, open-label, two-arm, multi-center study comparing EG chemotherapy with PG chemotherapy for patients with HER-2 negative MBC as first-line chemotherapy.
Eligibility Criteria: Histologically confirmed breast cancer patients, at least 19 years of age, with no prior history of chemotherapy for metastatic, recurrent breast cancer with evaluable lesions (as per RECIST, 1.1) who have adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function. Patients either may or may not have a prior anthracycline containing regimen. Prior hormonal therapy as a treatment of metastatic disease is allowed.
Specific Aims:
The primary efficacy endpoint of the trial is Progression-Free Survival (PFS). The secondary efficacy endpoints are: Time to Treatment Failure (TTF); Overall Survival (OS); neuropathic scale (FACT for Taxane QOL assessment); toxicity; duration of response; Objective Response Rate (ORR); Clinical Benefit Rate. The exploratory endpoint of the study includes pharmacogenetic profile.
Statistical Methods:
The initial sample size of the present study was determined based on the data derived from a previous trial on PG maintenance chemotherapy design; 6-month PFS is 70% for PG chemotherapy. This design was hypothesized that EG chemotherapy would not be inferior to PG chemotherapy. Thus, estimated PFS for each arm is 70%. Based on this estimate, we would plan to recruit a total of 100 patients (50 per arm). Considering drop-out rate of 10%, total 112 MBC patients planned to be enrolled.
Present Accrual and Target Accrual:Enrollment has been completed as of March, 2016 with a target enrollment of 112 patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: We reported separately that AQP5 or AQP3 expression in tumor tissue may predict survival after surgery for the specific types of early breast cancer (EBC). However, there is no definitive evidence for the role of dual expression of the two AQPs. Therefore, the current study focused the association and its prognostic impact of their tumoral expressions in the same patients.
Patients and Methods: AQP3 and AQP5 expressions were investigated on the basis of the immunohistochemistry of tissue microarray specimens from 447 EBC patients who underwent surgery between 2003 and 2008 as described in previous studies. Patients were divided into 4 subgroups based on AQP3 and AQP5 expressions: group1 for (-/-), group2 for (-/+), group 3 for (+/-), and group 4 for (+/+), respectively.
Results: Among 477 patients, the number of patients for each group was as follows: group 1 (n=193, 43.2%), group 2 (n=74, 16.6%), group3 (n=110, 24.6%) and group 4 (n=70, 15.7%), respectively. In the current study a positive correlation was identified between AQP3 and 5 expressions (P=0.017 by a χ2- test) in particular for HER2- overexpressing and ER-positive tumors (P=0.009 and 0.044, respectively). Multivariate survival analysis showed that dual expression of AQP3 and AQP5 was a negative prognostic factor for relapse-free or distant disease-free survival for patients with HER2-overexpressing EBC (HR=3.107 and 3.683; P=0.043 and 0.027, respectively), statistically more prominent compared in case with AQP3 expression alone (HR=3.137 and 2.784; P=0.036 and 0.070, respectively).
Conclusion: Dual expression of AQP3 and AQP5 in tumor tissue may be considered as a potential prognostic marker in patients with HER2-overexpressing EBC after curative surgery.

Abstract
Abstract
Background. Our previous study showed the association of AQP5 up-regulation with cancer proliferation and migration in hormone-responsive breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) and with unfavorable prognosis in a small number of patients with breast cancer. Accordingly, we analyzed the prognostic impact of AQP5 expression and polymorphisms in a large number of patients with early breast cancer (EBC).
Methods. AQP5 expression was investigated based on the immunohistochemistry of tissue microarray specimens from 609 EBC patients who underwent surgery between 2003 and 2008. We scored the staining intensity (IS) and percentage of positive tumor cells (PC). The genomic DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tumor-free tissue and then genotyped for 3 polymorphisms (rs3736309, rs1964676, and rs74091167) using the Sequenom Mass array system.
Results. Among the 3 polymorphisms, AQP5 overexpression (IS + PC ≥6) was correlated with AQP5 rs74091167 GG genotype. AQP5 overexpression and AQP5 rs74091167 was significantly associated with disease-free survival (DFS; P < 0.001 and P = 0.021, respectively). Moreover, a multivariate survival analysis revealed that AQP5 overexpression and the GG genotype of AQP5 rs74091167 were significantly associated with DFS (HR = 2.026, 95% CI 1.058-3.881, P = 0.030; HR = 0.377, 95% CI 0.179-0.793, P = 0.010, respectively) adjusted to clinicopathological variables, which was prominent in patients with an ER/PgR-positive tumor.
Conclusions. Consistent with our previous study of breast cancer cell lines, AQP5 expression and AQP5 rs74091167 variant can be considered as a prognostic marker in patients with EBC after curative surgery. In the future, functional relevance of this variant needs to be clarified.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: Oncoplastic surgery has received attention according as the incidence of breast cancer is rising and quality of life including cosmetic result after surgery is regarded as important. The aim of this study is to compare combined reconstructive surgery with standard surgery regarding to oncological safety and survival rate in advanced breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CTx).
Method: Thirty-seven patients underwent neoadjuvant CTx and surgery with advanced breast cancer were analyzed from September 2007 to March 2010. Group A (n=12) received combined reconstructive surgery, group B (n=25) had standard surgery.
Results: There were no differences in age, size, metastatic LN, stage, ER/PR/Her-2 status, recurrence, metastasis and death between group A and B. Patients with good response in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (26 cases (72.9%)) had CTx-operation-radiation therapy (RTx), cases with poor response (10 cases (27.1%)) underwent CTx-RTx-operation. There was significant difference in order of treatment, eight patients among group A(66.6%) had CTx-RTx-operation, 22 cases in group B(88.0%) received CTx-operation-RTx (p=0.006). Mean follow up period was 22 months, 2 patients (5.2%) experienced local recurrences, 11 cases (34.3%) diagnosed with distant metastasis, and 4 patients (10.5%) expired with breast cancer.
Conclusion: Advanced breast cancer with poorly responded in neoadjuvant CTx could be actively treated with sequential CTx-RTx-reconstructive surgery. Combined reconstructive surgery was oncologically safe operation in advanced breast cancer.

Abstract
Multi-layer heterostructure negative differential resistance devices based on poly-[2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) conducting polymer and CdSe quantum dots is reported. The conducting polymer MEH-PPV acts as a barrier while CdSe quantum dots form the well layer. The devices exhibit negative differential resistance (NDR) at low voltages. For these devices, strong negative differential resistance is observed at room temperature. A maximum value of 51 for the peak-to-valley ratio of current is reported. Tunneling of electrons through the discrete quantum confined states in the CdSe quantum dots is believed to be responsible for the multiple peaks observed in the I-V measurement. Depending on the observed NDR signature, operating mechanisms are explored based on resonant tunneling and Coulomb blockade effects.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Since apoptosis induced by caspases may play a role in the prognosis of breast cancer, the present study analyzed the polymorphisms of caspase genes and their impact on the survival of 240 patients with early invasive ductal breast cancer.
Material and Methods: The genomic DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tumor-free tissue or blood, and 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 5 apoptosis-related genes in the apoptosis pathway determined using a Sequenom MassARRAY system. Results: During the median follow-up of 68.6 (range, 36.3-173.1) months, 43 relapses and 25 deaths occurred. Among the target polymorphisms, the caspase 9 gene polymorphism (CASP9 rs4645978) in a dominant model of the A allele was associated with survival in a log-rank test (P < 0.05). In a multivariate analysis, the GA+AA genotype of CASP9 rs4645978 was significantly correlated with a better disease-free survival (HR = 0.250; 95% CI = 0.075 - 0.840; P = 0.025), while marginally with distant disease-free or overall survival (HR = 0.360 and 0.337; P = 0.118 and 0.158, respectively). No clinicopathologic difference was observed according to the genotypes of this polymorphism. Discussion: The CASP9 rs4645978 was identified as a possible prognostic factor of survival in patients with operated invasive breast cancer.

Abstract
Acute GVHD (aGVHD) is an important risk factor for predicting the incidence or severity of chronic GVHD (cGVHD). Transplant outcome can be influenced by the onset time of aGVHD in patients who have received allogeneic PBSC transplants (PBSCTs). The medical records of 134 patients who survived more than 3 months after myeloablative allogeneic PBSCT were retrospectively reviewed. In all, 38 patients (28.4%) developed grade II-IV aGVHD before day +28 (early aGVHD) and 25 patients (18.7%) after day +28 (late aGVHD). The 5-year cumulative incidence of cGVHD was 78.9% in the early-aGVHD group and 56.6% in the late-aGVHD group (P=0.034). The 5-year OS was 51.0% for the early-aGVHD and 80.8% for the late-aGVHD group (P=0.406). Infection was the primary cause of death for the early-aGVHD group (51.4 vs 16.7%, P=0.017), whereas relapse of the primary disease was higher among the patients with late aGVHD, although this was statistically insignificant (58.3 vs 25.7%, P=0.309). In a multivariate analysis, early aGVHD was identified as a risk factor for developing cGVHD (hazard ratio (HR) 2.278, P=0.004). The development of aGVHD early after allogeneic PBSCT increased the risk of cGVHD and infection-related death rate when compared with the late onset of aGVHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may contribute to a variation in the DNA repair capacity, thereby affecting the risk of carcinogenesis and prognosis of colorectal cancer. Accordingly, the present study analyzed 14 polymorphisms in DNA repair genes and their impact on the prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred and ninety-seven consecutive patients with curatively resected colorectal adenocarcinoma were enrolled in the present study. The genomic DNA was extracted from fresh colorectal tissue and 14 polymorphisms of DNA repair genes determined using a real-time PCR genotyping assay. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 63 years, and 218 (54.9%) patients had colon cancer, while 179 (45.1%) patients had rectal cancer. A multivariate survival analysis, including age, differentiation, carcinoembryonic antigen level, and stage, revealed a better survival for the patients with the combined IVS10+12AG and GG genotype than for the patients with the IVS10+12AA genotype [disease-free survival: hazard ratio (HR) 0.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.30-0.75, P = 0.002; overall survival: HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.26-0.98, P = 0.042]. None of the other polymorphisms was associated with survival. CONCLUSION The IVS10+12A>G polymorphism in the hMSH2 gene was found to be an independent prognostic marker for patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a combination of intravenous busulfan, cyclophosphamide and etoposide (i.v. Bu/Cy/E) as a conditioning regimen prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Sixty-four patients with relapsed/refractory (n=36) or high-risk (n=28) lymphoma were enrolled. The high-dose chemotherapy consisted of i.v. Bu (0.8 mg kg(-1) i.v. q 6 h from day -7 to day -5), Cy (50 mg kg(-1) i.v. on day -3 and day -2) and E (400 mg m(-2) i.v. on day -5 and day -4). The median age was 43 (range 18-65) years, and 39 patients were male. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (40.6%) was the most common histological subtype. All evaluable patients achieved an engraftment of neutrophils (median, day 12) and platelets (median, day 13). Hepatic veno-occlusive disease was observed in four patients (three mild, one moderate grade), and two patients (3.1%) died from treatment-related complications. At a median follow-up of 16.4 months, 15 patients (23.4%) exhibited a relapse or progression, while 13 patients (20.3%) had died of disease. The estimated 3-year overall and progression-free survival for all patients was 72.1 and 70.1%, respectively. In conclusion, the conditioning regimen of i.v. Bu/Cy/E was well tolerated and seemed to be effective in patients with aggressive NHL.

Abstract
The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a combination of intravenous busulfan, cyclophosphamide and etoposide (i.v. Bu/Cy/E) as a conditioning regimen prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Sixty-four patients with relapsed/refractory (n=36) or high-risk (n=28) lymphoma were enrolled. The high-dose chemotherapy consisted of i.v. Bu (0.8 mg kg(-1) i.v. q 6 h from day -7 to day -5), Cy (50 mg kg(-1) i.v. on day -3 and day -2) and E (400 mg m(-2) i.v. on day -5 and day -4). The median age was 43 (range 18-65) years, and 39 patients were male. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (40.6%) was the most common histological subtype. All evaluable patients achieved an engraftment of neutrophils (median, day 12) and platelets (median, day 13). Hepatic veno-occlusive disease was observed in four patients (three mild, one moderate grade), and two patients (3.1%) died from treatment-related complications. At a median follow-up of 16.4 months, 15 patients (23.4%) exhibited a relapse or progression, while 13 patients (20.3%) had died of disease. The estimated 3-year overall and progression-free survival for all patients was 72.1 and 70.1%, respectively. In conclusion, the conditioning regimen of i.v. Bu/Cy/E was well tolerated and seemed to be effective in patients with aggressive NHL.

Abstract
A regimen of busulfan and cyclophosphamide (BuCy2) is regarded as the standard myeloablative regimen for SCT. This study evaluated the hypothesis that fludarabine can replace cyclophosphamide for myeloablative allogeneic SCT. Ninety-five patients underwent allogeneic SCT from HLA-identical donors, following BuCy2 (n=55) or busulfan+fludarabine (BF, n=40). The efficacy of fludarabine compared to cyclophosphamide was retrospectively evaluated. The BF group exhibited a shorter duration until engraftment (P=0.001), lower incidence of acute and chronic GVHD (P<0.001 and P=0.003, respectively), and non-relapse mortality (NRM) (P=0.039). Furthermore, the event-free survival and overall survival were significantly higher for the BF group compared to the BuCy2 group (P=0.004 and 0.002, respectively). After adjusting for age, the risk status of disease, GVHD prophylaxis and donor type, the BF regimen was found to be an independent favorable risk factor for event-free survival (hazard ratio (HR), 0.181; 95% confidence interval, 0.045-0.720; P=0.016) and overall survival (HR, 0.168; 0.035-0.807; P=0.026). The replacement of cyclophosphamide with fludarabine for myeloablative conditioning seems to be more effective in terms of short-term NRM, and GVHD compared to BuCy2 regimen in allogeneic transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study analyzed vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms and their impact on the prognosis for patients with gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Five hundred and three consecutive patients with surgically resected gastric adenocarcinoma were enrolled in the present study. The genomic DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue and four VEGF (-460T > C, -116G > A, +405G > C, and +936C > T) gene polymorphisms were determined using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. RESULTS The survival analysis showed no association of three VEGF gene polymorphisms with the prognosis. For the +936C > T polymorphism, the T/T genotype, however, had a worse overall survival (OS) compared with the C/C genotype (P = 0.037). The -460 T/C or C/C genotype was a poor prognostic factor in patients with stage 0 or I gastric cancer (OS: hazard ratio (HR) = 3.96, disease-free survival (DFS): HR = 4.87). In the haplotype analysis, the CACC haplotype was associated with a significantly worse survival when compared with the TGGC haplotype (OS: HR = 1.72, DFS: HR = 1.73). CONCLUSIONS VEGF gene polymorphisms were found to be an independent prognostic marker for patients with gastric cancer. Consequently, the analysis of VEGF gene polymorphisms can help identify patient subgroups at high risk of a poor disease outcome.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination regimen of capecitabine plus irinotecan in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Patients with previously untreated metastatic or recurrent, measurable gastric cancer received oral capecitabine 1000 mg m−2 twice daily from day 1 to 14 and intravenous irinotecan 100 mg m−2 on days 1 and 8, based on a 3-week cycle. Forty-one patients were enrolled in the current study, among whom 38 were assessable for efficacy and 40 assessable for toxicity. Three complete responses and 16 partial responses were confirmed, giving an overall response rate of 46.3%. At a median follow-up of 269 days, the median time to progression and overall survival were 5.1 and 8.6 months, respectively. Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in four patients and grade 3 febrile neutropenia was observed in two patients. Grade 3 diarrhoea and grade 2 hand–foot syndrome occurred in six patients and eight patients, respectively. The combination of capecitabine and irinotecan was found to be well tolerated and effective in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Accordingly, this regimen can be regarded as one of first-line treatment options for advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine and cisplatin in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). In total, 37 patients with stage III or IV SCCHN were enrolled on the study. The chemotherapy consisted of two cycles of intravenous cisplatin of 80 mg m−2 on day 1 and oral capecitabine 825 mg m−2 twice daily from day 1 to day 14 at 3-week intervals. The radiotherapy (1.8–2.0 Gy 1 fraction day−1 to a total dose of 70–70.2 Gy) was delivered to the primary tumour site and neck. The primary tumour sites were as follows: oral cavity (n=6), oropharynx (n=11), hypopharynx (n=8), larynx (n=3), nasopharynx (n=6), and paranasal sinus (n=3). After the chemoradiotherapy, 29 complete responses (78.4%) and 6 partial responses (16.2%) were confirmed. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurred only in two patients, plus grade 3 febrile neutropenia was observed only in one patient. At a median follow-up duration of 19.8 months, the estimated overall survival and progression-free survival rate at 2-year was 76.8 and 57.9%, respectively. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine and cisplatin was found to be well tolerated and effective in patients with locally advanced SCCHN.

Abstract
The current study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) fentanyl in the management of acute pain due to oral mucositis in patients receiving stem cell transplantation. A cohort of consecutive patients with painful oral mucositis were enrolled. Initially, 25 microg/h of TTS fentanyl was administered for the treatment of oral mucositis pain. The pain score, based on a visual analogue scale, and mood and quality of sleep as determined by EORTC QLQ-C30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire, Cancer 30), were all recorded before the treatment, then 2, 6, and 10 days later. Twenty-two patients with hematologic malignancies were enrolled. Three patients were excluded from the response assessment, as their TTS fentanyl treatment was stopped owing to related complaints, including severe dizziness, severe vomiting, and an extensive body rash. The total duration of the treatment was 8 days (range, 6-15 days) and the total amount of TTS fentanyl administered per patient was 2.21 at 25 microg/h and 0.63 at 50 microg/h. Six (31.6%) of the remaining 19 patients required an escalated dose of TTS fentanyl at 50 mug/h. The mean pain scores before treatment and 2, 6, and 10 days later were 6.68, 5.17, 3.42, and 2.13, respectively (P < .001). Eight (42.1%) and seven (36.8%) patients experienced improved sleep and mood after treatment, respectively. The TTS fentanyl was effective in both relieving oral mucositis pain with an excellent tolerability and improving the quality of life for hematological patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
It is important to optimize methods to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells into peripheral blood (PB) for successful allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. Our primary intent was to investigate the role of GM-CSF for mobilization in normal healthy donors and to compare its efficacy in mobilizing stem cells alone, in concurrent combination and in sequential combination with G-CSF in this study. We analyzed the results of the PBSC harvest through large volume leukapheresis from 48 normal healthy donors mobilized by three different regimens including GM-CSF. Donors were assigned sequentially to one of the following regimens for mobilization: GM-CSF 10 microg/kg/day alone (group 1, n = 9); concurrent combination (group 2, n = 20) of G-CSF 5 microg/kg/day and GM-CSF 5 microg/kg/day; sequential combination (group 3, n = 19) of GM-CSF alone 10 microg/kg/day for 3 days followed by G-CSF alone 10 microg/kg/day for 2-3 days. The harvested CD34(+) cell count (P < 0.05) was statistically higher in group 3 than in group 1 or 2. Pre-collection WBC count in donors (P < 0.05), harvested MNC (P < 0.05) and CD3(+) cell count (P < 0.05) of group 2 or 3 were significantly higher than those of group 1. Recipients who received stem cells mobilized with combination regimens showed an earlier recovery of WBC and platelets count than those with GM-CSF alone. The incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease was not statistically different among three recipient groups. GM-CSF-based mobilization was well tolerated in normal healthy donors. The sequential combination regimen appears to be an excellent mobilization strategy and might be preferred as the optimal method in some clinical situations that need a higher number of stem cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND p27(Kip1), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, negatively regulates the G1 phase progression of the cell cycle by binding to the cyclin E/cyclin-dependent kinase 2 complex. This study was done to investigate the expression of p27(Kip1) in mucoepidermoid carcinomas and its usefulness as an indicator in tumor progression, aggressiveness, and prognosis. METHODS Thirty-one patients with mucoepidermoid carcinomas who had surgical resection were studied retrospectively. Clinicopathologic features, including histologic types, T stage, nodal status, perineural invasion, overall AJCC stage, and survival data, were obtained from medical records. Immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal antibodies against p27(Kip1) was performed on the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens from each patient. The percentage of tumor cells expressing p27(Kip1) (labeling index) was evaluated by counting 1000 cells per slide in at least four different areas and comparing with the patients' clinicopathologic features and survival rates. RESULTS Significant correlation was found between low p27(Kip1) expression and tumors with high-grade, advanced T stages, positive nodal status, and advanced clinical stages (p =.001 for all) except perineural invasion. Multivariate analysis indicated that p27(Kip1) expression (p =.030) was the most significant, and gender (p =.048) was the next significant predictor of overall survival among the variables. Also patients with low p27(Kip1) expression showed poor prognosis (p =.002). CONCLUSIONS We suggest that p27(Kip1) is a reliable independent marker of tumor progression, invasiveness, and prognosis in the mucoepidermoid carcinomas.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is known in association with lymphoid and epithelial lesion. Because the salivary gland is an organ close to the oropharynx, it has a higher incidence of EBV infection and is a possible route of EBV infection. Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections of 87 cases of salivary gland diseases were used for the study of EBV with PCR, in situ PCR for EBNA-1 (EBV nuclear antigen-1), and immunohistochemistry for LMP-1 (latent membrane protein-1). EBV was detected in 12 cases (13.8%): 7 of nonspecific chronic sialadenitis (21.2%), 4 of Warthin's tumors (30.8%), and one lymphoepithelial carcinoma. EBNA-1 was negative in all the other lesions. EBV DNA was detected in the nucleus of epithelial cells and the surrounding lymphocytes. LMP-1 positivity was found in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. The results of the present study showed that EBV is implicated in some of the inflammatory and neoplastic lesions of the salivary gland in which the lymphocytes are abundant. However, the pathogenesis and mechanism of immortalization and tumorigenesis of the epithelial cells in the salivary glands remain to be determined.

Abstract
The mutations that occur in the p53 tumor suppressor gene have been studied in various human malignant tumors. However, little is known about this gene in meningiomas. To investigate the relationship and frequency of p53 gene mutations, the p53 polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and immunohistochemical study were performed on the 41 intracranial meningiomas (21 benign, 11 atypical, and 9 malignant). The higher the p53 protein expression rate, the poorer the histologic grade (9.5%, 72.7%, and 88.9% in benign, atypical and malignant meningioma, respectively) (p=0.000). The p53 protein expression rate was higher in recurrent meningioma (71.4%) than in nonrecurrent meningioma (10.5%) (p=0.002). PCR-SSCP method was performed in positive p53 protein immunoreactivity cases. p53 gene mutation rate was higher in the atypical (62.5%) and malignant (25%) meningiomas than in the benign meningioma (0%) (p=0.232). Also, the rate was higher in recurrent menigioma (20%) than in nonrecurrent meningioma (0%) (o=0.495). Among five to eight exons of the p53 gene, the mutation was observed on exon 7 more frequently. In conclusion, p53 immunoreactivity and p53 gene mutation are closely correlated with histologic grade and histologic atypia of intracranial meningiomas. p53 gene mutation would be considered as a useful marker to detect the progression of intracranial meningiomas.

Abstract
We recently experienced a 43-year-old man with a large, multiloculated, cystic tumor that appeared on the pelvis. The tumor was composed of glands and cysts lined by prostatic-type epithelium and attached microscopically to the prostate by a pedicle. The prostatic nature of the lesions was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining of epithelium for prostate specific antigen (PSA). Our review of literature disclosed nine similar cases in men of various ages, originated from the prostate and grew to massive proportions. The lesions in these reported cases did not invade contiguous structures but they can adhere to viscera in their proximity. The multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a pathologically benign entity, and they can be definitively treated by a carefully planned complete surgical excision. This lesion should be included in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal cystic tumors in man. We report a rare case of multilocular prostatic cystadenoma that did not invade adjacent organs and showed no evidence of recurrence after complete surgical excision.

Abstract
Ofuji papuloerythroderma is a distinctive clinical entity of unknown etiology, which may occasionally be associated with B cell and T cell lymphoma or visceral malignancy. We report a case of papuloerythroderma associated with follicular mucinosis in mycosis fungoides (MF) that raises the possibility of papuloerythroderma as a form of prelymphomatous skin eruption. This specific papuloerythroderma responded well to the Re-PUVA treatment, which is a combination of etretinate and PUVA photochemotherapy.

The lesion was a pea sized, firm, erythematous, painless nodule with erosion in the center. Histologic examination revealed short spindled cells with blunt-ended nuclei and pleomorphic round to oval epithelioid cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm that were perivascular and densely packed in the dermis. Immunostaining for desmin was negative, although stains for vimentin and smooth muscle actin were both strongly positive.

Abstract
We investigated the frequency of gut inflammation and the role of gut lesion in the pathogenesis of the ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Korean patients. Ileocolonoscopy and biopsy of the colon and terminal ileum were performed on 24 Korean patients with AS. Endoscopic lesions were observed in 7 patients (29.2%). The lesions were found more often in the terminal ileum (6/7) than in the colon (1/7). Histologic signs of gut inflammation were detected in 14 patients (58.3%), acute lesions in 2 patients (8.3%) and chronic lesions in 12 patients (50%). Gut inflammation were as frequently found in Korean patients with AS as in Western patients. These findings suggest that gut inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis of AS in Korean patients as it does in Western patients.

Abstract
We report a case of cutaneous protothecosis treated successfully with oral fluconazole. Fluconazole appears to be an effective alternative to conventional drugs for the treatment of cutaneous protothecosis. Cutaneous protothecosis is an uncommon infection due to achlorophyllic, saprophytic, algae-like unicellular organisms of the genus Prototheca that occurs mainly in immunocompromised patients. To date there is no standard treatment regimen. Surgical excision, oral ketoconazole, intravenous amphotericin B alone or in combination with oral tetracycline have been reported to be effective in the management of protothecosis. We report a 55-year-old immunocompetent woman with cutaneous protothecosis which developed at the site of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection, who was successfully treated with oral fluconazole.

Abstract
Flow cytometric analysis was applied to embedded tissue to measure the proliferative activity and the DNA ploidy of 16 recurrent and 17 nonrecurrent pituitary adenomas. The results were compared with data from a previous study which demonstrated that proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) labeling index was higher in recurrent adenomas than in nonrecurrent adenomas. Flow cytometric analysis as a tool for predicting aggressive behavior has been useful in a variety of human tumors; however, its prognostic value in pituitary adenomas is controversial. Therefore, we decided to explore the relationship of the results of flow cytometry and proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling indices with the prognosis of pituitary adenomas. Three out of 16 recurrent adenomas and five out of 17 nonrecurrent adenomas demonstrated a DNA aneuploid pattern. All the nonfunctional recurrent adenomas had a diploid pattern, while only 40% of the functional recurrent adenomas had a diploid pattern. The GO/G1 phase fraction was higher in the recurrent adenomas, than in the nonrecurrent ones (p = 0.0005). In contrast, the S-phase fraction and the coefficient of variation were higher in the nonrecurrent adenomas (5.9 +/- 1.0%, 7.0 +/- 0.75, respectively) than in the recurrent ones (2.5 +/- 0.6%, 4.0 +/- 0.2%, respectively) (p = 0.003 and p = 0.001, respectively). The proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling indices were higher in the recurrent adenomas (18.9 +/- 4.5%) than in the nonrecurrent adenomas (2.6 +/- 1.6%) (p = 0.003). The S-phase of flow cytometry correlated weakly with the proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling indices when the recurrent and the nonrecurrent adenomas were considered as one group. (r = -0.356, p = 0.033). But no significant correlations were observed when the groups of recurrent (r = -0.311, p = 0.195) and nonrecurrent tumors (r = -0.019, p = 0.942) were compared separately. The results of flow cytometric analysis suggest that recurrent adenomas may have a higher proportion of cells in the presynthetic phase than the nonrecurrent adenomas. This study suggests that flow cytometric analysis is of limited value in predicting recurrence of pituitary adenomas.

Abstract
An elongated solid lesion observed on ultrasonography and CT in the biliary tree causing a smooth filling defect on cholangiography was observed in 2 patients. No tumor was observed in the liver parenchyma either on radiography or at operation. Histopathology showed hepatocellular carcinoma. After removal of the intraductal tumors, recurrence was observed in 2 and 6 months, respectively.

Abstract
Theophylline was determined with good precision in tablets and capsules by differential spectrophotometry. Xanthines such as caffeine and theobromine did not interfere providing the total xanthine concentration was kept below 100 mug/ml. At a higher total xanthine concentration, nonlinearity occurred, presumably due to complex formation. This interference could be minimized by proper selection of the analytical wavelength.
