Abstract
We investigate the early coarsening dynamics of an atomic Bose gas quenched into a superfluid phase. Using a two-step quench protocol, we independently control the two cooling rates during and after passing through the critical region, respectively, and measure the number of quantum vortices spontaneously created in the system. The latter cooling rate regulates the temperature during the condensate growth, consequently controlling the early coarsening dynamics in the defect formation. We find that the defect number shows a scaling behavior with the latter cooling rate regardless of the initial cooling rate, indicating universal coarsening dynamics in the early stage of condensate growth. Our results demonstrate that early coarsening not only reduces the defect density, but also affects its scaling with the quench rate, which is beyond the Kibble-Zurek mechanism.

Abstract
Purpose Heart transplant (HT) recipient are at increased risk of adverse outcomes following COVID-19 infection and may benefit from monoclonal antibody infusion to mitigate progression to clinically severe disease. The aim of this study is to describe the outcomes of HT patients who experienced mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with subsequent administration of casirivimab plus imdevimab administration. Methods A retrospective review of all HT recipients who were infected with COVID-19, and subsequently infused with monoclonal antibodies in a large academic medical center between January 1, 2021 to September 1, 2021. Results 14 HT patients were included in the analysis. The median age was 57.5 (interquartile range [IQR], 41.5-64) years, 10 (71%) were men, and median time from HT was 3.48 (IQR, 1.00-11.82) years. Comorbid conditions included hypertension in 6 patients (43%), diabetes in 4 (29%), and chronic kidney disease in 6 (43%). Eight patients (57%) were previously vaccinated, predominantly with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Three participants (21%) were admitted after clinical progression of COVID-19. Among patients managed at the study institution, mycophenolate mofetil was discontinued in two patients (14%) and calcineurin inhibitor was maintained at previous levels in all fourteen patients (100%). Of the admitted patients, 1 was treated with high dose corticosteroids alone and 2 were treated with corticosteroids plus remdesivir. No patient required intubation. All 3 patients were discharged home and no patients in this cohort died. Conclusion In this single-center case series, HT patients with mild-moderate COVID-19 who were treated with monoclonal antibody infusion had a hospitalization rate of 21% and 100% survival. Further studies are required to optimize management of COVID-19 infection in the HT population.

Abstract
5554 Background: Belotecan (Camtobell, Chong Keun Dang Corp, Seoul, Korea; CKD602) is a camptothecin derivative with anti-tumor properties recently developed. This phase II study was designed to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of belotecan combined with carboplatin in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods: Belotecan 0.3 mg/m2/day (days 1–5) and carboplatin AUC 5 (day 5) were administered every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. Eligible patients had recurrent EOC, peritoneal serous cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. The primary objective was to determine response rate defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors and CA-125 response; other end points included toxicities and progression free survival (PFS). Results: Until this preliminary analysis, sixteen patients had received the treatment and 13 patients were evaluable for response. Eight patients had platinum-sensitive disease (minimum treatment free interval≥6 months) and 6 had platinum-resistant disease (minimum treatment free interval <6 months). Overall response rate was 53.9%; there were 3 complete responses (23.1%), 4 partial responses (30.8%), 4 patients with stable disease (30.8%), and two patients with progressive disease (15.4%). Grade 3 and 4 hematologic toxicities included neutropenia (38%), thrombocytopenia (25%), and anemia (15%); there was one episode of febrile neutropenia. None of the patients experienced grades 3 and 4 gastrointestinal toxicities, including nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. Conclusions: The newly developed topoisomerase I inhibitor, belotecan (CKD-602), combined with carboplatin is a well-tolerated regimen with activity in recurrent EOC; further testing of this regimen is warranted. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
e20644 Background: Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths among women in Korea. However, few studies have been conducted to elucidate the psychological distress of this population. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of anxiety and depression among cervical cancer survivors, and to identify factors associated with such caseness. Methods: A total of 832 cervical cancer survivors recruited from six large hospitals in Korea completed a mailed survey, which included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, and QLQ-CX24. Anxiety and depression were defined by a score of ≥ 8 on the HADS subscales. With a framework that included socio-demographic, clinical, and symptom characteristics, multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with anxiety and depression. Results: Among cervical cancer survivors, 34.3% reported HADS-defined anxiety and 39.7% reported HADS-defined depression. Anxiety was associated with having a lower income (OR=1.95, p=.021), smoking (OR=2.42, p=.002), poor body image (OR=3.26, p<.001), peripheral neuropathy (OR=2.21, p=.002), menopausal symptoms (OR=2.02, p=.004), and sexual inactivity (OR=2.35, p=.001). Depression was associated with younger age (OR=1.75, p=.006), having a lower income (OR=2.14 p<.001), drinking (OR=1.56, p=.050), poor body image (OR=4.59, p<.001), peripheral neuropathy (OR=2.34, p<.001), and sexual inactivity (OR=2.68, p=.002). Both anxiety and depression were influenced by socio-demographic factors, health behaviors, and cervical cancer-specific symptom characteristics rather than cancer- or treatment-related factors. Conclusions: Anxiety and depression were highly prevalent among cervical cancer survivors in Korea. This examination of risk factors for anxiety and depression will be helpful for the development of clinical management strategies in cervical cancer survivors. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Abstract #4057
Background: Recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) is commonly given to breast cancer patients to prevent neutropenia during chemotherapy. It binds to the G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR) on neutrophil precursors, promoting their proliferation within the bone marrow. We observed breast cancer growth in patients with advanced breast cancer during rhG-CSF administration. The G-CSFR is present on some solid tumors, but has not been examined in breast cancer. We asked whether breast cancer cells express the G-CSFR, and whether rhG-CSF has any direct effects on breast cancer proliferation or invasion in vitro.
 Material and Methods: MDA MB231 is a highly aggressive ER–PR–Her2/neu– breast cancer cell line derived from a human pleural effusion. We analyzed this cell line for the presence of the G-CSFR by immunohistochemistry, reverse-transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR), Western Blot analysis and flow cytometry. We sequenced DNA products of RT-PCR to verify results. We examined the effects of physiologic doses of rhG-CSF on breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion using MTT proliferation and Matrigel transwell assays, respectively.
 Results: MDA MB231 breast cancer cells express G-CSFR protein and mRNA. Of seven known G-CSFR isoforms, we found evidence of isoforms 1 and 4. Treating MDA MB231 breast cancer cells with rhG-CSF at 50ng/ml did not increase cell proliferation, but did increase invasion across a Matrigel-coated transwell membrane. Cells treated with rhG-CSF appeared more stellate than untreated cells. Studies are ongoing to evaluate which signal transduction pathways and genes are involved in this increased invasion response. The effects of rhG-CSF on breast cancer growth in vivo are also being examined in murine models.
 Discussion: rhG-CSF is given routinely as part of many adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for breast cancer. Although dose-dense regimens using rhG-CSF have shown equivalent or improved survival when compared to standard dosing regimens, it is possible that rhG-CSF may increase the growth or invasive potential of some breast cancers. It is also possible that rhG-CSF could mobilize breast cancer cells from the bone marrow, making these cells more susceptible to chemotherapy. These possibilities should promote thoughful use of rhG-CSF in the clinical setting, and should factor into the design and implementation of clinical trials using rhG-CSF.

16069 Background: This is an interim report of a prospective multicenter phase II trial to evaluate 2-year disease free survival rate, toxicity, overall survival rate and recurrence rate in high-risk endometrial cancer patients who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy after staging operation. Methods: Thirty four patients with endometrial cancer from 17 medical centers in Korea have enrolled the study. The cell types were all endometrioid type and they had no prior chemotherapy. They were in either stage III or IV and all received staging operation including total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic and paraaortic lymph node dissection and washing cytology. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy was performed with paclitaxel (60 mg/m2/weekly, 6 cycles) and external field irradiation (5 fractions/week, total 4,500–5,040 cGy). Primary end point was 2-year disease free survival rate. Overall survival rate and recurrence rate were secondary end points. Toxicity of the treatment was also evaluated. Results: The expected number of subjects to complete the trial is 56. The trial was activated on 5th June 2005 and median follow up period is 5.8 (0–11) months until December 2006. 19 patients (55.8%) have completed treatment regimen and 14 patients (41.1%) are still receiving treatment. 1 patient (2.9%) died during treatment of the disease and 1 patient (2.9%) was lost during the follow up period. Disease free survival is 94.1% (32/34) and no recurrence has occurred so far. Toxicities have occurred in 52.9% (18/34) with gastrointestinal symptoms (13/34, 38.2%) such as diarrhea and constipation being the most common ones. Conclusions: This interim report suggest a possibility that a concurrent chemoradiotherapy for high-risk endometrial cancer may be an optimal treatment option to improve disease free survival rate.

Abstract
16073 Background: Accessing appropriate facts is important in enabling cancer patients cope with the disease. This study focused on the utilization and preferences of cancer information sources by cervical cancer patients in terms of ease in receiving and searching the available data. Methods: The study included 830 women over the age of 18 years treated for cervical cancer at six hospitals in South Korea between 1983 and 2004. All the participants provided written informed consent, and the Institutional Review Board of the National Cancer Center approved the protocol. A questionnaire addressed the patients’ use of and preferences for sources and forms of cancer information. Data were collected by mail. Results: Television and/or the radio were the the most frequently cited sources of cancer information by the middle and oldest age groups: 45–64 years (52.0%), =65 years (47.3%), while patients in the youngest age group (<45 years) used the Internet (38.8%). Booklets and/or pamphlets (24.0%) were the source of cancer information preferred by the youngest age group, while patients in the middle and oldest age groups preferred TV/radio: 45–64 years (35.7%) and =65 years (55.0%). Life notes and/or experiences (43.2%), that is, personal accounts, comprised the most easily understood form of information regardless of age group. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that cervical cancer patients’ utilization of and preferences for sources of cancer information vary according to patient age. Tailored educational materials that consider the users’ age and condition should be customized to best fit their specific preferences. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Most isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae are mixed populations of transparent (T) and opaque (O) colony phenotypes. Differences in the production of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) between O and T variants were accentuated by changes in the environmental concentration of oxygen. O variants demonstrated a 5.2- to 10.6-fold increase in amounts of CPS under anaerobic compared to atmospheric growth conditions, while CPS production remained low under all conditions for T variants. Increased amounts of CPS in O compared to T pneumococci were associated with increased expression of cps-encoded proteins. The inhibitory effect of oxygen on expression of CPS in O variants correlated with decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of CpsD, a tyrosine kinase and regulator of CPS synthesis. Modulation of CpsD expression and its activity by tyrosine phosphorylation may allow the pneumococcus to adapt to the requirements of both colonization, where decreased CPS allows for adherence, and bacteremia, where increased CPS may be required to escape from opsonic clearance. In patients with invasive infection, paired isolates from the same patient were shown to have predominantly a T colony phenotype without phosphotyrosine on CpsD when cultured from the nasopharynx, and an O phenotype that phosphorylates CpsD in response to oxygen when cultured from the blood. Differences in the availability of oxygen, therefore, may be a key factor in allowing for the selection of distinct phenotypes in these two host environments.

Abstract
We investigated the role of protein kinase C theta (PKCtheta) in the activation of the NF-kappaB cascade in primary human CD4(+) lymphocytes. Among six or so PKC isoforms expressed in T cells, only PKCtheta participates in the assembly of the supramolecular activation clusters at the contact site of the TCR with Ag. Signaling via both the TCR and CD28 is required for optimal activation of the multisubunit IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex in primary human T lymphocytes; this activation could be inhibited by a Ca(2+)-independent PKC isoform inhibitor, rottlerin. Moreover, endogenous PKCtheta physically associates with activated IKK complexes in CD3/CD28-costimulated primary CD4(+) T cells. The same set of stimuli also induced relocation of endogenous PKCtheta and IKKs to a GM1 ganglioside-enriched, detergent-insoluble membrane compartment in primary T cells. IKKs recruited to these lipid rafts were capable of phosphorylating a recombinant IkappaBalpha sustrate. Confocal microscopy further demonstrated that exogenously expressed PKCtheta and IKKss colocalize in the membrane of CD3/CD28-costimulated Jurkat T cells. Constitutively active but not kinase-inactive PKCtheta activated IKKbeta in Jurkat T cells. Expression of dominant-active PKCtheta also had stimulatory effects on the CD28 response element of the IL-2 promoter. Taken together, these data show that the activation of PKCtheta by the TCR and CD28 plays an important role in the assembly and activation of IKK complexes in the T cell membrane.

Abstract
Since CD28 costimulation is critical for T-cell activation, there is great interest in CD28 as a target for immuntherapeutic approaches. We show that stimulation of human CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cells differs in their responsiveness to stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28-coated beads, as surrogate antigen-presenting cells. While the CD4(+) subset responded with sustained proliferation, CD8(+) T-cells grew for a limited period only and failed to produce IL-2 beyond the first few days in culture. This decrease is accompanied with an increased rate of apoptosis in CD8(+) T-cells despite Bcl-x(L) expression. The CD8(+) but not the CD4(+) subset developed a reversible double-positive phenotype during CD28 costimulation. This finding may have some bearing on the appearance of double-positive T-cells in human peripheral blood. This double-positive subset was shown to undergo a statistically significantly increase during aging in humans. Taken together, the above data have important implications for immunotherapy and immune senescence.

Abstract
We explored the role of the NF-kappa B pathway in the survival of primary human CD4+ T lymphocytes during CD28 costimulation. Transduction of proliferating CD4+ T cells with a tetracycline-regulated retrovirus encoding for a dominant-interfering, degradation-resistant I-kappaBalpha (inhibitor of kappa B alpha factor) mutant induced apoptosis. Using DNA arrays, we show that Bcl-xL features as a prominent anti-apoptotic member among a number of early CD28-inducible genes. A 1.2-kb segment of the proximal Bcl-xL promoter, linked to a luciferase reporter, responded to CD3/CD28 stimulation in Jurkat cells. Mutation of an NF-kappa B site around -840 decreased, while ectopic expression of I-kappa B kinase-beta (IKK beta) enhanced reporter gene activity. Na+-salicylate and cyclopentenone PGs, direct inhibitors of IKK beta, interfered in the activation of the Bcl-xL promoter and induced apoptosis in CD28-costimulated CD4+ T cells. Moreover, salicylate blocked nuclear localization of NF-kappa B factors that bind to the NF-kappa B binding site in the Bcl-xL promoter, as well as the expression of Bcl-xL protein. HuT-78, a lymphoblastoid T cell line with constitutive NF-kappa B activity, contained elevated levels of Bcl-xL protein and, similar to proliferating CD4+ T cells, was resistant to apoptotic stimuli such as anti-Fas and TNF-alpha. In contrast, the same stimuli readily induced apoptosis in a Jurkat T cell clone with no detectable Bcl-xL expression. Jurkat BMS2 cells also differed from HuT-78 in collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and superoxide generation in the mitochondrium. Taken together, these data demonstrate that CD3/CD28-induced activation of IKK beta and expression of Bcl-xL promote the survival of primary human CD4+ T lymphocytes.

Abstract
NF-kappa B transcription factors play an important role in the activation of the IL-2 gene in response to TCR ligation. The release of NF-kappa B factors to the nucleus requires phosphorylation and degradation of the inhibitory kappa-B proteins (I kappa Bs). I kappa B alpha and I kappa B beta phosphorylation is dependent on dual signaling by the TCR and the CD28 accessory receptor. This pathway involves a multisubunit I kappa B kinase (IKK) complex, which includes the IKK alpha (IKK-1) and IKK beta (IKK-2) kinases. We demonstrate that stimulation of primary human CD4+ T cells by CD3/CD28 activates two distinct endogenous IKK complexes, a heterodimeric IKK alpha/beta and a homodimeric IKK beta complex. IKK beta overexpression in a Jurkat cell line resulted in the formation of a constitutively active IKK complex, which was CD3/CD28 inducible. In contrast, ectopic expression of IKK alpha assembled into a complex with negligible I kappa B kinase activity. Moreover, IKK beta, but not IKK alpha, overexpression enhanced transcriptional activation of the CD28 response element in the IL-2 promoter. Conversely, only kinase-inactive IKK beta interfered in the activation of the IL-2 promoter. Sodium salicylate, an inhibitor of IKK beta, but not IKK alpha, activity, inhibited IL-2 promoter activation as well as IL-2 secretion and interfered in activation of both the heterodimeric as well as the homodimeric IKK complexes in primary CD4+ T cells. Taken together, these data demonstrate the presence of an IKK beta-mediated signaling pathway that is activated by TCR and CD28 coligation and regulates IL-2 promoter activity.

Abstract
Inflammatory cytokines released during immune system activation can stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and cause increased secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotropin and glucocorticoids. Identification of CRH peptide and mRNA, as well as its receptors in immune tissues, suggested a role for this peptide as a mediator of the neuroendocrine-immune interactions. Experimental evidence suggests that CRH may modulate the immune and inflammatory responses via two pathways: an antiinflammatory one operated by centrally released CRH, most likely through stimulation of glucocorticoid and catecholamine release, and one proinflammatory, through direct action of peripherally released CRH. This review highlights these concepts. In addition preliminary data on immune activation and inflammatory response in CRH-deficient mice created in our laboratory are discussed.
