Abstract
A fast-ion Dα (FIDA) diagnostics system was installed for core and edge measurements on KSTAR. This system has two tangential FIDA arrays that cover both blue- and redshifted Dα lines (cold: 656.09 nm) in active views along the neutral beam 1 A centerline. The spectral band is 647-662.5 nm, and it covers the Doppler shift of the emission from the maximum energy of the neutral beam (100 keV). A curved filter strip with a motorized stage adequately prevents saturation of the electron multiplying charge-coupled device signal by the cold Dα line from the plasma edge. From comparisons of the measured spectra and FIDASIM modeling code, the FIDA spectra are well matched quantitatively. Moreover, the first measurements show that the FIDA radiance agrees with the neutron rate in the time trace during external heating and perturbation. In addition, responses are observed in the core FIDA radiance during the edge-localized mode cycle.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gastric cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Northeast Asia. Population-based endoscopic screenings in the region have yielded successful results in early detection of gastric tumors. Endoscopic screening rates are continuously increasing, and there is a need for an automatic computerized diagnostic system to reduce the diagnostic burden. In this study, we developed an algorithm to classify gastric epithelial tumors automatically and assessed its performance in a large series of gastric biopsies and its benefits as an assistance tool. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Using 2,434 whole-slide images, we developed an algorithm based on convolutional neural networks to classify a gastric biopsy image into one of three categories: negative for dysplasia (NFD), tubular adenoma, or carcinoma. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by using 7,440 biopsy specimens collected prospectively. The impact of algorithm-assisted diagnosis was assessed by six pathologists using 150 gastric biopsy cases. RESULTS Diagnostic performance evaluated by the AUROC curve in the prospective study was 0.9790 for two-tier classification: negative (NFD) versus positive (all cases except NFD). When limited to epithelial tumors, the sensitivity and specificity were 1.000 and 0.9749. Algorithm-assisted digital image viewer (DV) resulted in 47% reduction in review time per image compared with DV only and 58% decrease to microscopy. CONCLUSIONS Our algorithm has demonstrated high accuracy in classifying epithelial tumors and its benefits as an assistance tool, which can serve as a potential screening aid system in diagnosing gastric biopsy specimens.

Abstract
The dog has been used extensively as an experimental model to study meniscal treatments such as meniscectomy, meniscal repair and regeneration. Accurate quantification of meniscal size and morphology are a crucial step for developing models of the meniscus. 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been found to be highly accurate in analyzing the meniscus in both clinical and research fields. However, 3.0T MRI systems are still uncommonly used in veterinary medicine. The goal of the study was to compare meniscal volume measurements from 1.5T MRI system with 3.0T MRI system using proton density sequence, a clinically relevant protocol. The MR images were segmented to reconstruct 3D surface representations of both medial and lateral menisci to compare the meniscal volumes measurements. Average volume differences were 8.8% (P=0.42) and 8.9% (P=0.535) for medial and lateral meniscus, respectively. No significant volume differences were found between 1.5T and 3.0T magnetic resonance (MR) measurements, with high Pearson's correlation coefficient of r > 0.8 and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.899. For inter- and intra-observer reproducibility, high correlation (ICC = 0.942 and 0.814) was observed, but with high variability for intra-observer reproducibility (lower bound 0.478, upper bound 0.949). We have shown that common clinical MR scanners and pulse sequences can be used to quantify dogs' meniscal volumes with good reproducibility. We believe that repeatable measurements of meniscal volumes using MR may provide a useful capability for assessment of postoperative results following meniscal treatments such as meniscectomy and meniscal regeneration.

Abstract
Background Stenoses of internal pudendal arteries (IPAs) appear to be related to erectile dysfunction (ED). Nevertheless, the correlation between the severity of ED and stenosis of the IPAs is not well established. Objectives To evaluate angiographic findings of IPAs in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and to assess the correlation between the severity of ED and IPA stenosis. Materials and methods Ninety-one patients who were scheduled for cardiac angiogram (CAG) because of suspected CAD participated. ED was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. Erectile function (EF) domain scoring was used to assess the severity of ED: severe (EF score = 1–10); moderate (11–16); mild-moderate (17–21); mild (22–25); and no ED (26–30). Angiography was performed in bilateral common, internal iliac, and IPAs and the location and extent of stenoses were measured. We divided patients according to those with maximum stenosis of less than 50% (Group I) and those with more than 50% (Group II), regardless of direction. Results We diagnosed 88 patients (88/91, 96.70%) with ED. There was no correlation between increasing age and severity of ED (r = - 0.063, p = 0.555). There were 72 patients in Group I and 19 in Group II. In Group I, 62 patients were diagnosed with ED even though there was no stenosis. There was no significant correlation between the severity of ED and the extent of stenosis in IPAs (r = -0.118, p = 0.265). Conclusions There was no significant correlation between the severity of ED and the extent of stenosis of IPAs. We believe that this is because the progression of ED is induced by endothelial cell dysfunction, not by mechanical obstruction leading to blood flow reduction.

Abstract
The PHENIX collaboration presents first measurements of low-momentum (0.4<p_{T}<3 GeV/c) direct-photon yields from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=39 and 62.4 GeV. For both beam energies the direct-photon yields are substantially enhanced with respect to expectations from prompt processes, similar to the yields observed in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200. Analyzing the photon yield as a function of the experimental observable dN_{ch}/dη reveals that the low-momentum (>1 GeV/c) direct-photon yield dN_{γ}^{dir}/dη is a smooth function of dN_{ch}/dη and can be well described as proportional to (dN_{ch}/dη)^{α} with α≈1.25. This scaling behavior holds for a wide range of beam energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider, for centrality selected samples, as well as for different A+A collision systems. At a given beam energy, the scaling also holds for high p_{T} (>5 GeV/c), but when results from different collision energies are compared, an additional sqrt[s_{NN}]-dependent multiplicative factor is needed to describe the integrated-direct-photon yield.

Abstract P4-01-16: Detection of plasma tumor DNA (ptDNA) in patients with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative (HR+HER2-) early breast cancer (EBC) in clinical remission. Cancer Res 2019.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Detection of ptDNA in patients with HR+HER2- EBC in clinical remission may impact recommendations for type and duration of adjuvant endocrine therapy. A sensitive technique to identify tumor mutations in plasma is BEAMing digital PCR. The frequency and timing of detectable mutations in plasma of patients in clinical remission from HR+HER2- EBC are unknown.
Methods: We screened a prospective institutional repository for patients that met inclusion criteria. Eligible patients must have been enrolled to the repository between 12/1/2008 (repository start) and 12/31/2016, had HR+HER2- EBC, received follow-up at Johns Hopkins with appointment scheduled between 3/1/2017 and 12/31/2017, completed curative surgery at least 6 months prior to this appointment, been recommended or initiated adjuvant endocrine therapy, and been in clinical remission. Appropriate patients were approached for a current blood sample during their follow-up appointment in 2017. Blood was analyzed using a BEAMing digital PCR platform (Sysmex Inostics OncoBEAM™) for AKT1, PIK3CA, and ESR1 mutations.
Results: We identified 67 eligible patients and collected blood from 60. Most patients had relatively low risk disease including 40 patients (67%) with stage I disease, and only 21 patients (35%) received chemotherapy. Patients were evenly divided between receiving tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor, and some patients switched from one to the other. The majority of patients (68%) had surgery between 1 and 5 years prior to the current blood draw. Detailed patient characteristics are provided in Table 1.
Two out of the 60 patients had detectable ptDNA, both with stage IIA disease. One patient had a mutation in the ESR1 ligand-binding domain P535H 9 months after surgery and while taking adjuvant tamoxifen for 7 months. Sanger sequencing of primary tumor tissue did not reveal this mutation. Another patient had a mutation in PIK3CA exon 9 E542K 9.5 years after surgery and after taking adjuvant tamoxifen for at least 7 years. Amplifying this locus in DNA from primary tumor tissue was unsuccessful; further analysis using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is planned.
Conclusions: Detection of ptDNA was feasible in a relatively low-risk group of patients with HR+HER2- EBC in clinical remission. Sampling a larger number of patients is needed to gain more understanding of the frequency and timing of detectable ptDNA. Next steps should also focus on determining the natural history of detectable ptDNA in patients with HR+HER2 EBC in clinical remission which may impact adjuvant treatment recommendations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα/ESR1) is mutated in 30-40% of endocrine resistant ER+ breast cancer. These mutations, primarily located in the ligand binding domain, are associated with worse outcome in patients, and preclinical studies have shown that they cause ligand independent growth. An open question is whether these mutations contribute to actual metastatic process, or merely endocrine resistance.
Methods: Using Y537S and D538G genome-edited MCF7 and T47D cells, 3D growth was assessed in ultralow attachment plates. Cell-cell adhesion was determined using calcein-labelled adhesion assay and quantitative microfluidic fluorescence microscope (qMFM). Collagen-based adhesion and spheroid invasion assays were used to test adhesive and invasive properties. Wound scratching, spheroid collective migration and Boyden chamber transwell assays were applied to monitor cell migratory phenotypes. Mutated ER cistromes were profiled using ChIP-sequencing. ESR1 mutations in clinical samples were characterized using ddPCR.
Results: Visual inspection of cells grown in suspension culture revealed more compressed multicellular spheroids in ESR1 mutant cells, indicative of increased cell-cell interactions. This observation was confirmed in both static and microfluidic conditions. This effect was more pronounced in MCF7 than T47D cells, correlating with increased expression of desmosome and gap junction genes. Pharmacological blockade of gap junctions decreased cell-cell adhesion. Decreased attachment and increased invasion to collagen were discerned in all mutant cell types. Further functional analysis identified alterations in the TIMP3-MMP axis causing these phenotypes. The cell-cell adhesion phenotypes were restricted to MCF7-Y537S/D538G and T47D-Y537S, whereas T47D-D538G cells showed significantly increased migration. A GSEA screen identified Wnt signaling as uniquely induced in this context, and combination treatment using the Wnt inhibitor LGK974 and Fulvestrant led to synergistic inhibition of migration. ChIP-seq identified mutation-specific cistromes with an overall increased ligand-independent ER binding. However, it did not reveal binding sites in any candidate metastases genes, suggesting secondary epigenetic mechanisms. The motif analysis revealed the enrichment of FOXA1 motifs in mutated ER cistromes except T47D-D538G cells. However, knockdown of FOXA1 induced significantly higher inhibition of T47D-D538G migration than Fulvestrant treatment alone, indicating a FOXA1-dominated mechanism. Collectively, these data show that ESR1 mutant cells gain metastatic properties, in addition to endocrine resistance. To prove this using clinical samples, we measured ESR1 mutations in a well-defined cohort of endocrine resistant local or distant recurrence. Significant enrichment of ESR1 mutations in distant (9/55) vs local (0/27) recurrences confirms critical role of mutant ERα in metastases.
Conclusion: Further analysis of context dependent changes in cell-cell adhesion and migration of ESR1 mutant cells might guide the design and development of drugs targeting ERα-mutant tumors, such as inhibitors of gap junction, FOXA1, MMP, and Wnt signaling pathways.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Thirty percent of patients with breast cancer may experience chest wall recurrence, which is associated with a higher risk of developing distant metastases and a poor prognosis. Cancer cells may evade immune rejection through the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) pathway. Pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, binds PD-1 and inhibits its interaction with the programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) to facilitate tumor immune rejection. We hypothesize that pembrolizumab may be an effective therapy in chest wall recurrence, given the inflammatory nature, and the high expression of PD-1 in tumors with lymphovascular invasion. Platinum agents may enhance anti-tumor immunity in a synergistic manner, and the combination of pembrolizumab and carboplatin has demonstrated efficacy in advanced lung cancer. In this study, the combination of pembrolizumab and carboplatin is being evaluated in breast cancer patients with chest wall disease.
Methods: This is a randomized phase II study of breast cancer patients with advanced, unresectable breast cancer involving the chest wall, being conducted through the Translational Breast Cancer Research Consortium (TBCRC). Patients may have hormone resistant disease (at least 2 prior lines of hormone therapy), triple negative breast cancer, or refractory HER2+ disease for enrollment. They may have other sites of distant metastases, have received any number of prior lines of therapy, have had prior surgery, but prior chest wall radiation is not necessary. Eighty-four patients at 7 TBCRC sites will be randomized 2:1 to treatment with pembrolizumab 200 mg IV and carboplatin AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg IV alone every 3 weeks (Arm A, n=56) or carboplatin AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks (Arm B, n=28), with an option for patients in Arm B to cross-over to single agent pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks (arm Bx) on progression. Patients will undergo imaging with CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis at baseline and every 2 cycles of treatment for response evaluation. The primary endpoint is the disease control rate in the chest wall and distant sites at 18 weeks of treatment, and this study is powered to determine a 20% difference in disease control rates between arms A and B (hazard ratio of 0.52, α= 0.10, β= 0.20). After 18 patients are enrolled into Arm B, an interim analysis for futility will be conducted to enable early closure of that arm for lack of efficacy. Secondary endpoints in the study are toxicity, progression free survival, and response based on PD-L1 expression and irRECIST. Exploratory endpoints, which will be studied using peripheral blood testing and chest wall tumor biopsies at baseline and after 2 cycles of treatment, include determining associations of response with changes in tumor and peripheral blood immune composition, soluble PD-L1 expression, circulating tumor cells, cell free DNA, and tumor PD-L1 and MYC genomic expression. Ultimately this study promises to improve our understanding of checkpoint inhibition and chemotherapy for chest wall disease, and the underlying mechanism of action. This study is open for enrollment and 2 patients are currently enrolled. (NCT03095352).

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), encoded by the ESR1 gene, is expressed in approximately 70% of breast cancers. Recent studies conducted by us and others have shown that somatic mutations in ESR1 gene play a key role in conferring endocrine resistance in ER+ breast cancer. These hotspot mutations mainly occur on the ligand binding domain of ERα, leading to poor outcomes in 25-30% of patients with ER+ metastatic breast cancer in clinic. The mechanisms behind the potential enhanced metastasis of these mutations have become an urgent issue to be addressed, but they are not well understood due to a lack of ESR1 mutant models.
Methods: We generated and characterized genome-edited T47D and MCF7 breast cancer cell lines with the two most common ESR1 mutations (Y537S and D538G), using CRIPSR/Cas9 and rAAV systems respectively. Multiple clones for each mutant were sorted and the mutation frequencies were detected using digital droplet PCR (ddPCR). We subsequently performed an RNA-sequencing to deeply differentiate the gene expression patterns in these mutants. The growth of these pooled mutant-cells was determined in both 2D and 3D plates. The cell-matrix adhesions were measured based on ECM array, and 84-ECM adhesion related genes were further tested by qPCR array. IncuCyte real-time image system and boyden chamber transwell assays were used to monitor the cell migration and chemotaxis. Tail vein injection were performed on nude mice, and immunofluorescent staining of lung tissues with human specific cytokeratin 19 were utilized to evaluate in vivo metastatic capacities of the mutant cell models.
Results: We first identified the robust mutation frequencies at both RNA and DNA levels in our cell models. The RNA-seq exhibits multiple ligand-independent genes overlapping between either cell lines or mutants, which were further conformed by qPCR. We also found that both Y537S and D538G mutants present ligand-independent growth in 2D and 3D ultra-low attachment plates. Using wound-scratching assay, we observed significant higher migration rate in D538G mutant of T47D cell lines on both matrigel and type I collagen, indicating a cell-line and mutant-specific phenotype. We also detected lower attachment of both mutants on type I collagen in both cell lines, and our qPCR array revealed that alterations in the MMP pathways could be one of the major mechanism causing this phenotype. Finally, tail vein injection of T47D mutant-cells in nude mice derived more micrometatsatic spots in the lung tissues.
Conclusion: In sum, our study presents the first in-depth metastatic functional analysis of the biology of ESR1 mutations in genomic knock-in cell models, pointing out the enhanced migration and decreased cell-matrix adhesion as a potential novel gain-of-function of the Y537S and D538G mutant-cells in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest the potential role of enhanced metastasis of these ESR1 mutations through remodeling of transcriptional profiles, shedding lights towards the development of efficient therapies of ESR1 mutant breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Patients with breast cancer (BC) and chest wall disease have limited treatment options. We hypothesize that checkpoint inhibition may be an effective treatment approach due to the inflammatory nature of chest wall infiltration, and the association of PD-1 expression with lymphocytic infiltration. Platinum chemotherapy may facilitate anti-tumor immunity in a synergistic manner, and clinical studies of the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab with platinum combinations have been effective in the treatment of advanced lung cancer. In this study, we will evaluate the combination of carboplatin and pembrolizumab in BC patients with chest wall disease.
Methods: This is a randomized phase II multicenter study in the TBCRC including patients with advanced, unresectable BC with hormone resistant or triple negative chest wall disease. Patients may have had prior surgery, prior chest wall radiation is not required, and other sites of distant metastases are allowed. Eighty-four patients at TBCRC sites will be randomized 2:1 to receive pembrolizumab and carboplatin (n=56, Arm A) or carboplatin alone (n=28, Arm B) until disease progression. Patients randomized to Arm B may cross-over following progression to pembrolizumab alone (Arm Bx). Patients in Arm A will be treated with pembrolizumab 200 mg IV and carboplatin AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks for at least 6 cycles followed by maintenance pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks if stable or responding disease. Patients in Arm B will be treated with carboplatin AUC 5 IV every 3 weeks until progression, then may cross-over to pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks alone (Arm Bx). An interim analysis for futility will be performed after 18 patients are enrolled into Arm B to allow early closure of that arm for lack of efficacy. The primary endpoint is disease control rate at 18 weeks of treatment; the study is powered to detect a 20% difference in disease control rates between arms (hazard ratio 0.52, α= 0.10, β= 0.20). Secondary endpoints include progression free survival, toxicity, and response based on PD-L1 expression and irRECIST. Exploratory endpoints include association of response with a number of biomarkers including tumor PD-L1 gene expression, tumor and peripheral blood immune composition and cytokine expression, peripheral T-cell PD-1 expression, circulating tumor DNA, circulating tumor cells, and tumor MYC genomic expression using tumor biopsy and peripheral blood testing before and after treatment. This study should be open to accrual by August of 2017. (NCT03095352)

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genomic changes that occur in breast cancer during the course of disease have been informed by sequencing of primary and metastatic tumor tissue. For patients with relapsed and metastatic disease, evolution of the breast cancer genome highlights the importance of using a recent sample for genomic profiling to guide clinical decision-making. Obtaining a metastatic tissue biopsy can be challenging, and analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from blood may provide a minimally invasive alternative. PATIENTS AND METHODS Hybrid capture-based genomic profiling was carried out on ctDNA from 254 female patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Peripheral blood samples were submitted by clinicians in the course of routine clinical care between May 2016 and March 2017. Sequencing of 62 genes was carried out to a median unique coverage depth of 7503×. Genomic alterations (GAs) in ctDNA were evaluated and compared with matched tissue samples and genomic datasets of tissue from breast cancer. RESULTS At least 1 GA was reported in 78% of samples. Frequently altered genes were TP53 (38%), ESR1 (31%) and PIK3CA (31%). Temporally matched ctDNA and tissue samples were available for 14 patients; 89% of mutations detected in tissue were also detected in ctDNA. Diverse ESR1 GAs including mutation, rearrangement and amplification, were observed. Multiple concurrent ESR1 GAs were observed in 40% of ESR1-altered cases, suggesting polyclonal origin; ESR1 compound mutations were also observed in two cases. ESR1-altered cases harbored co-occurring GAs in PIK3CA (35%), FGFR1 (16%), ERBB2 (8%), BRCA1/2 (5%), and AKT1 (4%). CONCLUSIONS GAs relevant to relapsed/metastatic breast cancer management were identified, including diverse ESR1 GAs. Genomic profiling of ctDNA demonstrated sensitive detection of mutations found in tissue. Detection of amplifications was associated with ctDNA fraction. Genomic profiling of ctDNA may provide a complementary and possibly alternative approach to tissue-based genomic testing for patients with estrogen receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
UNLABELLED WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Mental health literacy is a fairly new concept, first introduced in 1997. It refers to what people know and believe about mental health disorders. People's knowledge and beliefs help them to recognize, manage and prevent mental disorders. Generally, older adults have lower health literacy compared to young and middle-aged adults. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: This is the first study on the mental health literacy of Korean older adults. This study looks beyond peoples' ability to recognize mental health disorders and their opinions about them. It identifies factors that are associated with mental health literacy (level of education and social support, the number of people in one's social circles and how individuals rate their health). WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE?: Older adults might get more out of mental health literacy programmes in group or social settings. Programmes that use older adult peer educators/supporters, such as the "older people's champions" of the Healthy Passport programme in England, might make the programmes more effective. Mental health campaigns, such as Australia's beyondblue, might increase mental health literacy of older adults. ABSTRACT Introduction Korea is experiencing rapid population ageing, spurring an increased need for mental health services for the elderly. Approximately one-third of Korean older adults experience depressive symptoms, and Korea has the highest elder suicide rate among 34 developed nations. Mental health literacy is an important component of promoting mental health, yet studies on the concept have been conducted in few countries. Aim This study examines the level of mental health literacy among Korean older adults and identifies factors associated with their mental health literacy. Method A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 596 community-dwelling Korean adults aged 65 and older. Andersen's Behavioral Model of Health Services Use framed the study. Results Overall, participants displayed low levels of mental health literacy. They had difficulty recognizing their mental health issues and had limited knowledge about self-help strategies. Mental health literacy was positively associated with education, social support, social network and health status. Discussion and Implications This study highlights a need for efforts to increase mental health literacy among Korean older adults. Strategies that have the potential to empower this population to proactively attend to their mental health include community-based education and national mental health campaigns.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ERBB2 or commonly known as HER2) missense mutations have been reported in 2-4% of breast cancers and occur primarily in the absence of HER2 gene amplification. Based on TCGA, approximately 60% of these tumors are hormone-dependent and express estrogen receptor (ER) a. Among ER+ breast cancers with HER2 missense mutations, more than 80% are in the HER2 kinase domain. We examined herein whether ER+/HER2 mutant breast cancer cells are resistant to anti-estrogen therapies and, thus, whether they should be treated with combined ER and HER2 inhibitors.
Methods: Three common HER2 activating mutations (G309A, L755S, V777L) and wild type (WT) HER2 were incorporated into ER+ MCF7 cells using AAV-mediated homologous recombination. The isogenic incorporation of a heterozygous mutation more accurately represents primary human tumors as compared to transfection and overexpression of exogenous vectors. We examined cell viability and ER transcriptional activity, using an ERE-luciferase reporter, in response to estrogen deprivation and treatment with fulvestrant (a selective ER downregulator) and neratinib (an irreversible, pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor), either alone or in combination. Signaling downstream mutant HER2 was examined by immunoblot analysis. In vivo anti-tumor efficacy of fulvestrant ± neratinib is currently being assessed in ovariectomized athymic mice bearing MCF7/HER2V777L xenografts.
Results: MCF7 cells containing HER2 kinase missense mutations (L755S and V777L), but not cells with HER2WT or an extracellular domain mutation (G309A), were able to proliferate exponentially in estrogen-free medium. MCF7/HER2L755S and MCF7/HER2V777L were also resistant to 1 mM fulvestrant, despite fulvestrant's ability to downregulate ER in these cells. Additionally, MCF7/HER2L755S and MCF7/HER2V777L showed increased levels of pERK and p70S6K. Treatment with 200 nM neratinib potently inhibited growth of MCF7/HER2L755S and MCF7/HER2V777L in estrogen-free conditions and resensitized them to fulvestrant while partially downregulating HER2 levels. Addition of 1 nM estradiol markedly rescued all three HER2 mutant cells from neratinib-induced cell death suggesting that the inhibition of both ER and mutant HER2 is required for tumor cell apoptosis. Using ERE-luc reporter assays, neratinib did not inhibit basal or estrogen-induced ER transcriptional activity or ERα Ser118 phosphorylation, thus not supporting HER2 mutation-to-ER crosstalk in these genetically engineered cells. This result also suggests that the ER and HER2 mutant pathways can operate independently and it is the dual pathway inhibition that results in synthetic lethality.
Conclusions: These data suggest that, in ER+ breast cancers and similar to HER2 gene amplification, HER2 kinase domain mutations induce resistance to antiestrogen therapies. Therefore, we propose simultaneous therapeutic targeting of both ER and HER2 signaling pathways is required for maximal inhibition of ER+ breast cancers also harboring HER2 activating mutations, as is currently being investigated in the phase II SUMMIT trial (NCT01953926).

Abstract
Abstract
In the past decade, there has been great interest in the use of circulating cell-free DNA to help guide therapy decisions in clinical oncology. Recent work by our group and others suggests that circulating cell-free plasma tumor DNA offers advantages compared to tissue biopsies for mutation profiling. This concept of “liquid biopsy” may allow for a more global genomic picture of metastatic disease since blood serves as a reservoir for all metastatic sites. In addition, cell-free plasma tumor DNA can be measured serially and quantitatively, presenting the possibility of using circulating plasma tumor DNA as a biomarker to measure disease burden and response to therapies for both early and late stage disease. In this session, I will review historic and recent studies demonstrating the clinical potential of measuring cell-free plasma tumor DNA in breast cancer patients for early stage and metastatic disease. I will also outline future steps needed to translate liquid biopsies from research use to clinical practice, and recent work highlighting the first multi-institutional prospective clinical trial evaluating cell-free plasma tumor DNA in early stage breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated structural hypertrophy and functional hyperfiltration as compensatory adaptations after radical nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma according to the preoperative chronic kidney disease stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified 543 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma between 1997 and 2012. Patients were classified according to preoperative glomerular filtration rate as no chronic kidney disease-glomerular filtration rate 90ml/min/1.73m2 or greater (230, 42.4%), chronic kidney disease stage II-glomerular filtration rate 60 to less than 90ml/min/1.73m2 (227, 41.8%), and chronic kidney disease stage III-glomerular filtration rate 30 to less than 60ml/min/1.73m2 (86, 15.8%). Computerized tomography performed within 2 months before surgery and 1 year after surgery was used to assess functional renal volume for measuring the degree of hypertrophy of the remnant kidney, and the preoperative and postoperative glomerular filtration rate per unit volume of functional renal volume was used to calculate the degree of hyperfiltration. RESULTS Among all patients (mean age = 56.0y) mean preoperative glomerular filtration rate, functional renal volume, and glomerular filtration rate/functional renal volume were 83.2ml/min/1.73m2, 340.6cm3, and 0.25ml/min/1.73m2/cm3, respectively. The percent reduction in glomerular filtration rate was statistically significant according to chronic kidney disease stage (no chronic kidney disease 31.2% vs. stage II 26.5% vs. stage III 12.8%, P<0.001). However, the degree of hypertrophic functional renal volume in the remnant kidney was not statistically significant (no chronic kidney disease 18.5% vs. stage II 17.3% vs. stage III 16.5%, P = 0.250). The change in glomerular filtration rate/functional renal volume was statistically significant (no chronic kidney disease 18.5% vs. stage II 20.1% vs. stage III 45.9%, P<0.001). Factors that increased glomerular filtration rate/functional renal volume above the mean value were body mass index (P = 0.012), diabetes mellitus (P = 0.023), hypertension (P = 0.015), and chronic kidney disease stage (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with a lower preoperative glomerular filtration rate had a smaller reduction in postoperative renal function than those with a higher preoperative glomerular filtration rate due to greater degrees of functional hyperfiltration.

Abstract
The routine collection and use of genomic data are useful for effectively managing breeding programs for endangered populations. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) using high-density DNA markers has been widely used to determine population structures and predict the genomic regions that are associated with economic traits in beef cattle. The extent of LD also provides information about historical events, including past effective population size (Ne ), and it allows inferences on the genetic diversity of breeds. The objective of this study was to estimate the LD and Ne in three Korean cattle breeds that are genetically similar but have different coat colors (Brown, Brindle and Jeju Black Hanwoo). Brindle and Jeju Black are endangered breeds with small populations, whereas Brown Hanwoo is the main breeding population in Korea. DNA samples from these cattle breeds were genotyped using the Illumina BovineSNP50 Bead Chip. We examined 13 cattle breeds, including European taurines, African taurines and indicines, and hybrids to compare their LD values. Brown Hanwoo consistently had the lowest mean LD compared to Jeju Black, Brindle and the other 13 cattle breeds (0.13, 0.19, 0.21 and 0.15-0.22 respectively). The high LD values of Brindle and Jeju Black contributed to small Ne values (53 and 60 respectively), which were distinct from that of Brown Hanwoo (531) for 11 generations ago. The differences in LD and Ne for each breed reflect the breeding strategy applied. The Ne for these endangered cattle breeds remain low; thus, effort is needed to bring them back to a sustainable tract.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Certain ERα phosphorylation (p) sites are essential for ERα transcriptional activity; and with development of ERα p-specific antibodies, some of these sites predict endocrine responsiveness. Unlike other ERα p-sites, pS294 has been shown to be induced by ligand activation and not by cross-talking growth factor signals. With development of a new rabbit monoclonal, pS294 induction was found to be dependent on a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK). This study aimed to identify the specific CDK mediating induction of pS294, determine if ligand-independent ERα activating mutations (Y537S, D538G) also induce pS294, and learn if specific CDK inhibitors might enhance endocrine therapeutic efficacy by suppressing pS294.
Methods: MCF7 cells, untreated (stripped media) or stimulated by estradiol (E2, 10nM) or growth factor (EGF, 5nM), were treated with either CDK-specific knockdown siRNAs or small molecule CDK inhibitors (with indicated specificities): Roscovitine (pan-CDKs); Dinaciclib (CDK1, CDK2, CDK5, CDK9); Palbociclib (CDK4, CDK6); JNJ7706621 (CDK1, CDK2); BMS265246 (CDK1, CDK2); and SNS032 (CDK2, CDK7, CDK9). Whole cell, nuclear or cytosolic lysates were either Western blotted (for ERα or specific CDKs) or first immunoprecipitated (total ERα, pS294-ERα) and then immunoblotted. RT-PCR of cellular RNA quantified pS294-ERα induced transcripts (EGF3, AREG, CXCL12 vs. GAPDH) potentially inhibited by CDK inhibitors. MCF7 overexpressing ERα activating mutations (Y537S, D538G) were produced by either transient transfection or knock-in; knock-in clones were innoculated into immunocompromised mice to assess ligand-independent xenograft tumor growth in vivo, while transfected cells and tumors were assessed for ligand-independent ERα phosphorylation.
Results: CDK2 was determined to be the primary kinase mediating ligand-dependent induction of pS294-ERα, with co-precipitation of cyclins A/E confirming the expected mechanism of CDK2 recruitment to chromatin-bound pS294-ERα. Knock-in MCF7 cells expressing either Y537S or D538G ERα rapidly formed tumors in vivo without E2 supplementation; tumors and transiently transfected cells overexpressing mutated ERα showed pS294 >> pS118 expression, with constitutive pS294 suppressed by Dinaciclib but not by Palbociclib. CDK1/2 inhibitors (Dinaciclib, BMS265246) but not a CDK4/6 inhibitor (Palbociclib) cooperated with tamoxifen (4-HT) to induce apoptosis in wildtype MCF7.
Conclusion: CDK2 is the primary mediator of pS294 induced by either ligand stimulation or ligand-independent mutational activation of ERα. While the CDK4/6 inhibitor Palbociclib is a recently approved adjunct to endocrine therapy, it enhances cytostatic growth arrest without affecting ERα phosphorylation or receptor induced gene expression. In contrast, CDK2 inhibitors like Dinaciclib should be explored for their ability to enhance ER-positive breast cancer cell death in combination with antiestrogens and for their ability to prevent the emergence of constitutively active ERα mutations by suppressing pS294 induction, essential for ERα mediated gene transactivation and breast tumor growth.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Standard treatment options for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) are limited to chemotherapy. Molecular profiling of tumors may allow for novel treatment recommendations.
Methods: We initiated a prospective study designated IMAGE. Women with newly progressing metastatic TNBC who received at least one line of prior chemotherapy were eligible. New metastatic biopsies were obtained for molecular profiling at study entry. Archived metastatic biopsy specimens were allowed if patients had not commenced new systemic therapy. The specimens were reviewed by the study pathologist and stained for ER, PR, HER2, and androgen receptor (AR) by immunohistochemistry. Specimens underwent hybrid-capture based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) (Foundation Medicine Inc., Cambridge, MA). Clinical data and genomic profiling reports were reviewed by the GAITWAY (Genomic Alterations in Tumors with Actionable Yields) Molecular Profile Tumor Board. Recommendations were communicated to the treating oncologist and patients were followed for treatment decision and clinical outcomes. Peripheral blood was also analyzed by an investigational assay for circulating plasma tumor DNA (ptDNA) (Foundation Medicine Inc.) at study entry, and when obtainable, from serial blood draws at time of progression. The primary objective was to assess feasibility of completing the process from consent to GAITWAY recommendations within 28 days for at least 80% of patients.
Results: From September 2013 to April 2015, we enrolled 26 eligible women. Median age was 55 (range 25-67); patients identified as white 12 (46%), black 11 (42%), or other 3 (12%); median number of prior lines of treatment was 3; and 65.4% of patients had visceral disease. Twenty (77%) eligible patients received CGP of a metastatic site biopsy. Six patients did not undergo CGP due to either absence of a metastatic site amenable for biopsy or inadequate tissue for CGP. The study met the predefined statistical endpoint for futility and was closed after 20 patients had undergone CGP. Twelve (60%) evaluable patients received treatment recommendations within 28 days of study consent. Failure to meet this time frame was due to difficulties in accessing archival tumor tissue (N=5) and need for additional tissue for molecular analysis (N=3). Preliminary results demonstrate high concordance between mutations in metastatic biopsies and ptDNA in 15/17 patients.
Enrolled in IMAGE26Successful NGS20Potentially actionable mutation identified15GAITWAY recommended targeted therapy as possible next treatment13Received targeted therapy4
Conclusions: CGP of patients with metastatic TNBC can provide additional information that may help direct treatment. However, difficulties in obtaining adequate tumor tissue may hinder this approach. Use of a well-validated ptDNA profiling assay could be an alternative to overcome these limitations.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Fifty percent of ER positive MBC patients do not benefit from ET. Potential mechanisms of resistance to ET in this patient population include absence of ER expression by deletion or suppression, alteration in ER signaling pathway genes, or upregulation of multiple growth factor receptor pathways. We hypothesized that genotyping and phenotyping of CTC combined with genomic analysis of ptDNA will provide important insights into the multiple mechanisms of ET resistance and that a set of blood tests might serve as a "liquid biopsy" abrogating the need for tissue specimens.
Methods: Twenty-four patients providing informed consent were enrolled into the Mi CTC-ONCOSEQ study, a companion trial to Mi-ONCOSEQ (the Michigan Oncology Sequencing Program). Seven of these patients (5 with ER immunohistochemistry (IHC) positive and 2 with ER negative cancers) who had available archived primary and metastatic cancer tissue, a research metastatic biopsy for genomic analysis, and who had ≥5CTC/7.5 ml whole blood (WB) characterized for ER protein (CTC-ER) are the focus of this report. All the patients were ET refractory. None of them was progressing on fulvestrant at the time of study entry. CTC enumeration and phenotyping was performed with CellSearch©. Circulating ptDNA was analyzed by droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). ER status from archived tissue was obtained from chart review. ER mRNA expression was determined in the research biopsy of metastatic tissue by using quantitative RNA sequencing. Mutational status of ER gene, ESR1, was determined by Next-gen Sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.
Results: The 2 control patients with triple negative breast cancer had negative CTC-ER. Discordance between CTC-ER and tissue ER by IHC was observed (Table). Two of the 5 ER positive patients retained CTC-ER positivity (39% and 19% of the CTC). One of them (#7) harbored an ESR1 mutation in the research biopsy tissue and in ptDNA, whereas the other (#14) had wild type (WT) ESR1. CTC-ER protein levels in patients #12, 17 and 24 were negative. All had WT ESR1 in the research biopsy tissue. Of note, patient #12 had WT ESR1 in the research biopsy, but an ESR1 mutation was detected in her ptDNA.

Conclusions: These exploratory data suggest heterogeneous mechanisms of resistance to ET in patients with previously determined ER-positive MBC, including ESR1 mutations in ER positive cases (seen in 2 patients) and loss of ER expression (seen in CTC of 3 patients). In contrast, other cancers continue to express WT ESR1, and therefore must have developed alternative mechanisms of resistance. At least 2 of these mechanisms can be detected and monitored with complementary circulating assays: CTC and ptDNA. Further investigations are needed to understand the heterogeneous mechanisms of resistance to ET.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of elliptic (v(2)) and triangular (v(3)) flow in high-multiplicity (3)He+Au collisions at √(s(NN))=200 GeV. Two-particle correlations, where the particles have a large separation in pseudorapidity, are compared in (3)He+Au and in p+p collisions and indicate that collective effects dominate the second and third Fourier components for the correlations observed in the (3)He+Au system. The collective behavior is quantified in terms of elliptic v(2) and triangular v(3) anisotropy coefficients measured with respect to their corresponding event planes. The v(2) values are comparable to those previously measured in d+Au collisions at the same nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy. Comparisons with various theoretical predictions are made, including to models where the hot spots created by the impact of the three (3)He nucleons on the Au nucleus expand hydrodynamically to generate the triangular flow. The agreement of these models with data may indicate the formation of low-viscosity quark-gluon plasma even in these small collision systems.

Abstract
AIM Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) promotes tumour cell survival, invasion, anti-apoptosis, metastasis and radio/chemo-resistance in various cancers. However, the expression pattern and prognostic implications of S1PR1 in urothelial carcinoma remain unclear and thus were addressed here. METHODS Tissue microarrays composed of 395 initially diagnosed and transurethral resected urothelial carcinomas of the urinary bladder were immunostained for S1PR1 and phosphor-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3). S1PR1 expression was analysed according to clinicopathological features, expression of several anti-apoptosis/proliferation-related markers and patient's survival. RESULTS S1PR1 positivity was observed in 45.3% of urothelial carcinomas. Among patients with non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma (NMIC), S1PR1 positivity was associated with higher grade (P<0.001), higher subepithelial invasive component (P=0.006), lower papillary component (P=0.002), presence of metastasis (P=0.042) and high cancer-specific death (P<0.001). S1PR1 expression was correlated with pSTAT3 (P<0.001), survivin (P=0.008) and Ki-67 (P<0.001) expression. S1PR1 positivity predicted a shorter cancer-specific survival (CSS) in NMICs (P<0.001) and stage T1/high grade (T1HG) tumours (P=0.002). The Cox multivariate model was composed of S1PR1, survivin, lymphovascular invasion and age, and C-index was 0.781. S1PR1 positivity was correlated with shorter CSS in p53-positive T1HG carcinoma (P=0.003) in contrast to p53-negative T1HG carcinoma (P=0.205). In p53-overexpressing NMIC, S1PR1 was the only variable of the survival model and the C-index was 0.719. CONCLUSIONS S1PR1 expression was associated with unfavourable clinicopathological features and the expression of several anti-apoptosis/proliferation-related markers in urothelial carcinoma. S1PR1 serves as an independent predictor of cancer-specific death in NMIC. The model including S1PR1 showed highly accurate prediction for CSS in NMIC patients regardless of the modality of adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
One of the major challenges in bladder cancer management is in distinguishing aggressive from indolent tumors with similar clinicopathological factors, especially in cases of high-grade T1 stage tumors. To define a set of prognostic factors that can be easily assessed in clinical practice with a high cost-effectiveness, the expressions of 11 proteins were examined immunohistochemically in 403 cases of transurethral resection of bladder tumors, then correlated to clinical outcomes. Based on the protein immunoprofiles, urothelial carcinomas were divided into 4 intrinsic molecular subgroups with different clinical outcomes: subgroups 1 and 4 with the poorest survival, subgroup 2 with the best survival, and subgroup 3 with the intermediate survival outcome. The protein expression patterns of the 4 subgroups were mutually exclusive: overexpression of p53, EZH2, E2F1, and IMP3 and high Ki-67 proliferation index in subgroup 1; overexpression of cytoplasmic survivin in subgroup 4; overexpression of membranous TSP1 and cytoplasmic p27 in subgroup 2; and no representative protein overexpression in subgroup 3. Using these protein immunoprofiles, 3 risk groups were generated, which predicted disease-specific survival not only in total bladder carcinoma cases with 0.737 of predictive accuracy but also in high-grade stage T1 tumors with 0.658 of predictive accuracy. These results showed that urothelial carcinomas were composed of 4 clinically relevant molecular subgroups based on protein expression and that overall survival of those patients could be predicted using a set of a small number of protein expressions not only in total cases but also in high-grade stage T1 tumors.

Abstract
Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4), also known as fasting-induced adiopogenic factor (FIAF), has recently been reported to influence bone metabolism. However, there have been few studies on regulatory factors other than hypoxia for Angptl4 in bone, and particularly in osteoblasts. Expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), a proinflammatory cytokine, is increased in serum or bone microenvironments in inflammatory bone diseases or estrogen deficient-conditions. The present study was conducted to determine whether Angptl4 expression in osteoblasts is affected by IL-1β and investigate its involvement in MAP kinase signaling pathways. Angptl4 RNA levels were increased by IL-1β treatment in murine MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining showed a corresponding increase in Angptl4 protein. IL-1β treatment of osteoblasts induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) including extracellular regulated kinases (ERKs), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Furthermore, SP600125, an inhibitor of JNK, significantly blocked the upregulation of Angptl4 by IL-1β. In contrast, treatment with an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase (SB203580) or an ERK inhibitor (PD98059) produced responses similar to those seen with the DMSO control. Taken together, these results suggest that IL-1β increases Angptl4 expression through a mechanism dependent on the JNK-MAPK signaling pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells.

Abstract
We present azimuthal angular correlations between charged hadrons and energy deposited in calorimeter towers in central d+Au and minimum bias p+p collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The charged hadron is measured at midrapidity |η|<0.35, and the energy is measured at large rapidity (-3.7<η<-3.1, Au-going direction). An enhanced near-side angular correlation across |Δη|>2.75 is observed in d+Au collisions. Using the event plane method applied to the Au-going energy distribution, we extract the anisotropy strength v_{2} for inclusive charged hadrons at midrapidity up to p_{T}=4.5 GeV/c. We also present the measurement of v_{2} for identified π^{±} and (anti)protons in central d+Au collisions, and observe a mass-ordering pattern similar to that seen in heavy-ion collisions. These results are compared with viscous hydrodynamic calculations and measurements from p+Pb at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. The magnitude of the mass ordering in d+Au is found to be smaller than that in p+Pb collisions, which may indicate smaller radial flow in lower energy d+Au collisions.

Abstract
A novel centrifugal microdevice which could perform reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) and immunochromatographic strip (ICS) based amplicon detection was demonstrated for simple and cost-effective influenza A virus identification. The proposed centrifugal microdevice consists of the sample and running buffer loading reservoirs, the RT-LAMP chamber, and the ICS for detecting gene expression. The entire process could be completed sequentially and automatically by simply controlling the rotation speed and by optimizing the microfluidic design. Monoplex and multiplex RT-LAMP reactions targeting H1 and/or M gene were executed at 66 °C for 40 min, and the resultant amplicons were successfully analysed on the ICS within 15 min. Influenza A H1N1 virus was subtyped by detecting H1 and M gene on the ICS even with 10 copies of viral RNAs. Highly specific and multiplex viral typing of the integrated RT-LAMP-ICS microdevice was also demonstrated. The combination of the rapid isothermal amplification with the simple colorimetric detection on a strip in a single centrifugal microdevice will provide an advanced genetic analysis platform in the field of on-site pathogen diagnostics.

Abstract
High-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (Non-MIBC) has a high risk of stage progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and could be managed either conservatively by transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) or more aggressively by radical cystectomy. The selection of patients who may benefit from early radical intervention is a challenge. To define useful prognostic markers for progression, we analyzed clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical expression patterns of E2F1, p27, survivin, p53, EZH2, IMP3, TSC1/hamartin, fatty acid synthase, androgen receptor, 14-3-3σ, MAGEA4, and NY-ESO-1 on 118 cases of high-grade Non-MIBC. During the mean follow-up period of 64.3 months, progression occurred in 18 patients (15.3%). Histologically, large amount of invasive component (> 50%) was noted in 35 cases (29.7%) and was strongly associated with progression. Among the 12 biomarkers, high expressions of E2F1 and nuclear p27 were noted in 46 cases (40.0%) and 14 cases (12.7%), respectively, and were associated with frequent progression. Using multivariate analysis, the proportion of invasive component and high E2F1 expression were independent prognostic factors for the prediction of progression. Our results indicated that large amount of invasive carcinoma component and high expressions of p27 and E2F1 were predictive markers for progression in Non-MIBC. Therefore, we suggest that these parameters, especially proportion of invasive carcinoma component and E2F1 expression, should be evaluated during pathologic examination and considered during selection of the appropriate management strategy for high grade Non-MIBC patients.

Abstract
The PHENIX experiment has measured open heavy-flavor production via semileptonic decay over the transverse momentum range 1 < p(T) < 6 GeV/c at forward and backward rapidity (1.4 < |y| < 2.0) in d+Au and p + p collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. In central d+Au collisions, relative to the yield in p + p collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, a suppression is observed at forward rapidity (in the d-going direction) and an enhancement at backward rapidity (in the Au-going direction). Predictions using nuclear-modified-parton-distribution functions, even with additional nuclear-p(T) broadening, cannot simultaneously reproduce the data at both rapidity ranges, which implies that these models are incomplete and suggests the possible importance of final-state interactions in the asymmetric d + Au collision system. These results can be used to probe cold-nuclear-matter effects, which may significantly affect heavy-quark production, in addition to helping constrain the magnitude of charmonia-breakup effects in nuclear matter.

Abstract
The jet fragmentation function is measured with direct photon-hadron correlations in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The p(T) of the photon is an excellent approximation to the initial p(T) of the jet and the ratio z(T)=p(T)(h)/p(T)(γ) is used as a proxy for the jet fragmentation function. A statistical subtraction is used to extract the direct photon-hadron yields in Au+Au collisions while a photon isolation cut is applied in p+p. I(AA), the ratio of hadron yield opposite the photon in Au+Au to that in p+p, indicates modification of the jet fragmentation function. Suppression, most likely due to energy loss in the medium, is seen at high z(T). The associated hadron yield at low z(T) is enhanced at large angles. Such a trend is expected from redistribution of the lost energy into increased production of low-momentum particles.

Abstract
We describe a rare case of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman disease) associated with a six-year history of autoimmune pancreatitis, which was controlled by steroid treatment. The patient presented with multiple, cervical and thoracic lymphadenopathy and abnormal, nodular opacities in the lung. Histologically, Rosai-Dorfman disease with numerous IgG4-positive cells was identified in a subcutaneous lymph node in the patient's left forearm. The patient recovered uneventfully with steroid treatment.

Abstract
It is observed that the magnitude of the toroidal rotation speed is reduced by the central electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) regardless of the direction of the toroidal rotation. The magnetohydrodynamics activities generally appear with the rotation change due to ECRH. It is shown that the internal kink mode is induced by the central ECRH and breaks the toroidal symmetry. When the magnetohydrodynamics activities are present, the toroidal plasma viscosity is not negligible. The observed effects of ECRH on the toroidal plasma rotation are explained by the neoclassical toroidal viscosity in this Letter. It is found that the neoclassical toroidal viscosity torque caused by the internal kink mode damps the toroidal rotation.

Abstract
Neutral-pion π(0) spectra were measured at midrapidity (|y|<0.35) in Au+Au collisions at √(s(NN))=39 and 62.4 GeV and compared with earlier measurements at 200 GeV in a transverse-momentum range of 1<p(T)<10 GeV/c. The high-p(T) tail is well described by a power law in all cases, and the powers decrease significantly with decreasing center-of-mass energy. The change of powers is very similar to that observed in the corresponding spectra for p+p collisions. The nuclear modification factors (R(AA)) show significant suppression, with a distinct energy, centrality, and p(T) dependence. Above p(T)=7 GeV/c, R(AA) is similar for √(s(NN))=62.4 and 200 GeV at all centralities. Perturbative-quantum-chromodynamics calculations that describe R(AA) well at 200 GeV fail to describe the 39 GeV data, raising the possibility that, for the same p(T) region, the relative importance of initial-state effects and soft processes increases at lower energies. The p(T) range where π(0) spectra in central Au+Au collisions have the same power as in p+p collisions is ≈5 and 7 GeV/c for √(s(NN))=200 and 62.4 GeV, respectively. For the √(s(NN))=39 GeV data, it is not clear whether such a region is reached, and the x(T) dependence of the x(T)-scaling power-law exponent is very different from that observed in the √(s(NN))=62 and 200 GeV data, providing further evidence that initial-state effects and soft processes mask the in-medium suppression of hard-scattered partons to higher p(T) as the collision energy decreases.

We previously synthesized a thiourea analogue, SPA0355, which suppressed NF-κB activity. Here we have assessed the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects of SPA0355. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We evaluated the effects of SPA0355 on human rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocytes in vitro and on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice in vivo. KEY RESULTS In vitro experiments demonstrated that SPA0355 suppressed chemokine production, matrix metalloproteinase secretion and cell proliferation induced by TNF-α in rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocytes. In addition, SPA0355 inhibited osteoclast differentiation induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor and the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand, in bone marrow macrophages. Mice with CIA that were pretreated with SPA0355 had a lower cumulative disease incidence and severity of arthritis, based on hind paw thickness, radiological and histopathological findings, and inflammatory cytokine levels, than mice treated with vehicle. Mice treated with SPA0355, after the onset of CIA, also showed significantly decreased disease incidence and joint oedema. The in vitro and in vivo protective effects of SPA0355 were mediated by inhibition of the NF-κB signalling pathway. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Taken together, these results suggested that using SPA0355 to block the NF-κB pathway in rheumatoid joints reduced both the inflammatory responses and tissue destruction. Therefore, SPA0355 may have therapeutic value in preventing or delaying joint destruction in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
SETTING Systemic inflammation has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and metabolic syndrome. However, the association between these two conditions is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between COPD and metabolic syndrome. DESIGN Among subjects aged ≥40 years from the 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1215 subjects with two or more acceptable spirometry measurements and complete anthropometric/laboratory examinations were analysed. RESULTS A total of 133 subjects (11%, 100 men and 33 women) were newly diagnosed with COPD (forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity ≤ 70%). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, based on the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III, was significantly higher in COPD subjects compared with non-COPD subjects in both sexes (33.0% vs. 22.2% in men and 48.5% vs. 29.6% in women). In men, the risk of COPD was higher in subjects with metabolic syndrome than in those without (OR 2.03, 95%CI 1.08-3.80), after adjusting for potential confounders. There was a borderline significant association between COPD and abdominal obesity among the individual component of metabolic syndrome (OR 1.95, 95%CI 0.93-4.11). CONCLUSION In the Republic of Korea, metabolic syndrome was associated with COPD in men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies identified clinical and physiologic factors of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that are related to an increased risk of mortality. But there are few studies about histologic and molecular approach. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether the C-reactive protein (CRP), fibroblastic foci, phosphorylated Smad2/3 (p-Smad2/3), tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), TGF-beta receptor II (TbetaRII), and the polymorphism of the TGF-beta1 codon 10 are associated with the progression of IPF patients. DESIGN Eighty-six IPF patients who underwent surgical lung biopsies were examined. For each patient, clinical and physiologic parameters were investigated, and we performed immunohistochemical staining for p-Smad2/3 and TbetaRII, and genotyping of the TGF-beta1 codon 10 polymorphism. RESULTS Age at diagnosis, gender, symptom duration, and smoking status did not show a significant association. However, the amount of smoking (p = 0.002), severe reduction in the percentages of predicted forced vital capacity (p = 0.013) and diffusion lung capacity of carbon monoxide (p = 0.023), CRP (p = 0.009) at diagnosis, and fibroblastic foci (p = 0.026) were associated with a poor prognosis. Cellularity, fibrosis, expression level of p-Smad2/3 and TbetaRII, and genotype of the TGF-beta1 codon 10 polymorphism did not have a statistically significant association with the prognosis. CONCLUSION This study confirmed the amount of smoking, abrupt decrease in follow-up pulmonary function parameters, fibroblastic foci, and increased levels of CRP concentration at diagnosis were significantly associated with poor survival. Larger studies are required to confirm all prognostic factors including CRP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different cell types in the kidney, including those in tubules, glomeruli, and interstitium, have been proposed as candidate adult renal stem cells, raising controversy about the very existence of such cells. In this study, we sought to clarify the location and nature of adult renal stem cells and to address their reparative role in native kidney disease. METHODS The expression of the stem cell marker CD133 was analyzed in 31 normal fetal and adult human kidneys by immunohistochemical methods. Co expression of CD133 with Ki-67 and tubule specific markers was also examined. Seventeen cases of pauci-immune glomerulonephritis were evaluated for CD133 and Ki-67 expression, and this was correlated with the patients' renal prognosis. RESULTS CD133 was expressed in S-shaped bodies of fetal kidneys and co-expressed with Ki-67. It was highly expressed in mature tubules of fetal and adult kidneys without Ki-67 co-expression. CD133+ cells were most abundant in the S3 segment of proximal tubules and co-expressed with the distal tubule marker, suggesting multipotency. Most tubular CD133+ cells in normal adult kidneys exhibited pathologic features of acute and chronic injury. In pauci-immune glomerulonephritis, tubular CD133 and Ki-67 co-expression tended to be higher in cases where renal function recovered. CONCLUSION These results suggest that adult renal stem cells reside predominantly in the S3 segment of the proximal tubule, where they remain mitotically silent under normal conditions, but can be induced by cellular injury. These results also suggest a potential role for adult renal stem cells in recovery from native human kidney disease.

Abstract
Large parity-violating longitudinal single-spin asymmetries A(L)(e+) = -0.86(-0.14) (+0.30) and A(L)(e-) = 0.88(-0.71) (+0.12) are observed for inclusive high transverse momentum electrons and positrons in polarized p+p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s] = 500 GeV with the PHENIX detector at RHIC. These e± come mainly from the decay of W± and Z0 bosons, and their asymmetries directly demonstrate parity violation in the couplings of the W± to the light quarks. The observed electron and positron yields were used to estimate W± boson production cross sections for the e± channels of σ(pp → W+ X) × BR(W+ → e+ ν(e)) = 144.1 ± 21.2(stat)(-10.3) (+3.4) (syst) ± 21.6(norm) pb, and σ(pp → W- X) × BR(W- → e- ν[over ¯](e)) = 31.7 ± 12.1(stat)(-8.2) (+10.1) (syst) ± 4.8(norm) pb.

Abstract
Compared with the West, the overall incidence of lymphoid neoplasms is lower, and the subtype distribution is distinct in Asia. To comprehensively investigate the subtype distribution with the age and sex factors, and temporal changes of subtype proportions, we re-assessed all patients with lymphoid neoplasms diagnosed at a large oncology service in the Republic of Korea from 1989 to 2008 using the World Health Organization classifications. Of the total 5,318 patients, 66.9% had mature B-cell neoplasms, 12.5% had mature T/natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms, 16.4% had precursor lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL/LBL), and 4.1% had Hodgkin's lymphoma. The most common subtypes were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (30.5%), plasma cell myeloma (14.0%), extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (MALT lymphoma; 12.4%), B-cell ALL/LBL (11.3%), Hodgkin's lymphoma (4.1%), peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified (4.0%), T-cell ALL/LBL (3.9%), and extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma of nasal type (3.9%). Most subtypes showed male predominance, with an average M/F ratio of 1.3. Most mature lymphoid neoplasms were diseases of adults (mean age, 53.5 yr), whereas ALL/LBLs were of young individuals (mean age, 20.3 yr). When the relative proportion of subtypes were compared between two decades (1989-1998 vs. 1999-2008), especially MALT lymphoma has increased in proportion, whereas T/NK-cell neoplasms and ALL/LBL have slightly decreased. In summary, the lymphoid neoplasms of Koreans shared some epidemiologic features similar to those of other countries, whereas some subtypes showed distinct features. Although the increase in incidence of lymphoid neoplasms is relatively modest in Korea, recent increase of MALT lymphoma and decrease of T/NK-cell neoplasms and ALL/LBL are interesting findings.

Abstract
The TP53 tumor suppressor gene is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancers. To evaluate the biological and clinical relevance of p53 loss, human somatic cell gene targeting was used to delete the TP53 gene in the non-tumorigenic epithelial cell line, MCF-10A. In all four p53-/- clones generated, cells acquired the capability for epidermal growth factor-independent growth and were defective in appropriate downstream signaling and cell cycle checkpoints in response to DNA damage. Interestingly, p53 loss induced chromosomal instability leading to features of transformation and the selection of clones with varying phenotypes. For example, p53-deficient clones were heterogeneous in their capacity for anchorage-independent growth and invasion. In addition, and of clinical importance, the cohort of p53-null clones showed sensitivity to chemotherapeutic interventions that varied depending not only on the type of chemotherapeutic agent, but also on the treatment schedule. In conclusion, deletion of the TP53 gene from MCF-10A cells eliminated p53 functions, as well as produced p53-/- clones with varying phenotypes possibly stemming from the distinct chromosomal changes observed. Such a model system will be useful to further understand the cancer-specific phenotypic changes that accompany p53 loss, as well as help to provide future treatment strategies for human malignancies that harbor aberrant p53.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of tumor cell proliferation based on Ki-67 expression yielded conflicting prognostic predictions of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The introduction of rituximab to the DLBCL treatment regime has led to alterations in the significance of previous prognostic factors. METHODS We analyzed Ki-67 expression and its correlation with prognosis in 144 patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab plus CHOP (R-CHOP) between July 2003 and January 2008. RESULTS The complete response (CR) rates following R-CHOP administration were not significantly different, based on Ki-67 expression status (P = 0.104). However, higher rates of relapse were observed in the high Ki-67 expression group (Ki-67 >or= 85%, n = 46) with 25.0%, compared to 10.0% in the low Ki-67 expression group (Ki-67 < 85%, n = 88) (P = 0.040). The 2-yr event-free survival (EFS) rates were 44.3% and 74.1% in the high and low Ki-67 expression groups, respectively (P = 0.011). The 2-yr overall survival (OS) rate was 66.4% in the high Ki-67 expression group and 82.2% in the low Ki-67 expression group (P = 0.016). In multivariate analysis, Ki-67 expression was a significant prognostic factor for EFS [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.909; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.261-6.708; P = 0.012]. Ki-67 was associated with OS but with borderline significance (HR = 2.876; 95% CI, 0.972-8.508; P = 0.056). CONCLUSION Elevated Ki-67 expression seems to be associated with higher relapse after CR and inferior EFS in patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP.

Abstract
We have investigated structural, electrical, and electro-mechanical properties of lead-free piezoelectric BaTiO3 doped Na0.5K0.5NbO3 (BTO-NKN) thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) methods. BTO-NKN thin films have been deposited on La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) bottom electrodes with LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates. X-ray diffraction data have shown that all the BTO-NKN and bottom electrodes are highly oriented with their c-axes normal to the substrates. In order to improve the morphology of BTO-NKN thin films, we have located an eclipse shutter between a target and a substrate. Root-mean-square roughness was changed from 91 nm to 21 nm with eclipse shutter enhanced PLD (E-PLD) method. Furthermore, the enhanced surface morphology leads to the improvement in electrical or electro-mechanical properties mainly due to increased density. Typical capacitance and d33 values of a BTO-NKN film deposited by E-PLD method are 1000 pF and 30 pmN, respectively.
