Abstract
Cardiotoxicity induced by breast cancer therapies is a potentially serious complication associated with the use of various breast cancer therapies. Prediction and better management of cardiotoxicity in patients receiving chemotherapy is of critical importance. However, the management of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) lacks clinical evidence and is based on limited clinical studies. AIM To provide an overview of existing and potentially novel biomarkers that possess a promising predictive value for the early and late onset of CTRCD in the clinical setting. METHODS A systematic review of published studies searching for promising biomarkers for the prediction of CTRCD in patients with breast cancer was undertaken according to PRISMA guidelines. A search strategy was performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus for the period 2013-2023. All subjects were >18 years old, diagnosed with breast cancer, and received breast cancer therapies. RESULTS The most promising biomarkers that can be used for the development of an alternative risk cardiac stratification plan for the prediction and/or early detection of CTRCD in patients with breast cancer were identified. CONCLUSIONS We highlighted the new insights associated with the use of currently available biomarkers as a standard of care for the management of CTRCD and identified potentially novel clinical biomarkers that could be further investigated as promising predictors of CTRCD.

Abstract
Endothelial wall shear stress (ESS) is a biomechanical force which plays a role in the formation and evolution of atherosclerotic lesions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-based ESS in coronary arteries without atherosclerosis, and to assess factors affecting ESS values. CCTA images from patients with suspected coronary artery disease were analyzed to identify coronary arteries without atherosclerosis. Minimal and maximal ESS values were calculated for 3-mm segments. Factors potentially affecting ESS values were examined, including sex, lumen diameter and distance from the ostium. Segments were categorized according to lumen diameter tertiles into small (< 2.6 mm), intermediate (2.6-3.2 mm) or large (≥ 3.2 mm) segments. A total of 349 normal vessels from 168 patients (mean age 59 ± 9 years, 39% men) were included. ESS was highest in the left anterior descending artery compared to the left circumflex artery and right coronary artery (minimal ESS 2.3 Pa vs. 1.9 Pa vs. 1.6 Pa, p < 0.001 and maximal ESS 3.7 Pa vs. 3.0 Pa vs. 2.5 Pa, p < 0.001). Men had lower ESS values than women, also after adjusting for lumen diameter (p < 0.001). ESS values were highest in small segments compared to intermediate or large segments (minimal ESS 3.8 Pa vs. 1.7 Pa vs. 1.2 Pa, p < 0.001 and maximal ESS 6.0 Pa vs. 2.6 Pa vs. 2.0 Pa, p < 0.001). A weak to strong correlation was found between ESS and distance from the ostium (ρ = 0.22-0.62, p < 0.001). CCTA-based ESS values increase rapidly and become widely scattered with decreasing lumen diameter. This needs to be taken into account when assessing the added value of ESS beyond lumen diameter in highly stenotic lesions.

Abstract
Background
Endothelial wall shear stress (ESS) is a biomechanical force which plays a key role in the formation and evolution of atherosclerotic lesions.
Purpose
This study aims to evaluate ESS in coronary arteries without atherosclerosis, and to assess various factors affecting ESS values.
Methods
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images from patients with suspected coronary artery disease were analyzed to identify coronary arteries without atherosclerosis. Minimal and maximal ESS values were calculated for 3-mm segments with dedicated software. Segments were categorized according to lumen diameter tertiles into small (<2.6 mm), intermediate (2.6–3.2 mm) or large (≥3.2 mm) size classes. Normal ranges of minimal and maximal ESS values were calculated per vessel and vessel size.
Results
A total of 349 normal vessels from 168 patients (mean age 59.4±9.2 years, 39% men) were included. ESS was highest in the left anterior descending artery compared to the left circumflex and the right coronary arteries (2.3 Pa vs. 1.9 Pa vs. 1.6 Pa for minimal ESS, p<0.001 and 3.7 Pa vs. 3.0 Pa vs. 2.5 Pa for maximal ESS, p<0.001). ESS values were highest in small vessel segments compared to intermediate or large segments (3.8 Pa vs. 1.7 Pa vs. 1.2 Pa for minimal ESS, p<0.001 and 6.0 Pa vs. 2.6 Pa vs. 2.0 Pa for maximal ESS, p<0.001). Weak to moderate correlation was found between ESS and the distance from the ostium (ρ values ranging from 0.22 to 0.62 for different vessels).
Conclusion
We derived ESS values from the CCTA images for visually normal coronary arteries. ESS values depend strongly on the lumen diameter of the coronary vessel. The normal ranges of minimal and maximal ESS can be used in future studies, where ESS values in stenotic lesions are compared to the normal values derived in the present analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is considered an epidemic disease with considerable morbidity, mortality, and immense healthcare costs. Electrolyte abnormalities are often encountered in patients with HF, posing a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. Hyponatremia affects up to one-third of HF patients and represents an unfavorable prognostic factor. SUMMARY Low sodium levels in HF are mainly attributed to the neurohormonal activation secondary to decreased effective circulating volume. However, patients with HF often have several comorbidities which may cause or exacerbate the preexisting hyponatremia. Factors that provoke HF, such as alcohol overconsumption, may also be involved in hyponatremia development. Furthermore, drugs which are frequently prescribed to HF patients, especially diuretics, are potential culprits of hyponatremia and should always be addressed since their withdrawal may reverse hyponatremia. Despite the great prevalence and deleterious effects of hyponatremia in these patients, it is often overlooked and consequently undertreated. In this review, we present the mechanisms involved in the development of hyponatremia focusing on those besides neurohormonal activation. We also discuss the proper management of this electrolyte disorder which is frequently complex in patients with HF. KEY MESSAGES Hyponatremia in patients with HF is not only the result of neurohormonal activation; several comorbidities and frequently used drugs should also be addressed. Hence, a holistic approach is required both for the diagnosis and optimal treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) carry a significant burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD), despite improvement of patterns of left ventricular (LV) remodeling following kidney transplantation. Kidney allograft dysfunction and the immunosuppressed milieu play a major adverse role in myocardial structural changes in asymptomatic KTRs. An intricate relationship exists between immune system responses with heart failure syndromes, manifesting among others with aberrant activity and counts of proinflammatory CD16+monocytes, of natural killer (NK) cells and T regulatory cells (Tregs). The associations of immune cell subpopulations with subclinical markers of CVD remain to be determined in KTRs. The aim of our study was to investigate potential correlations between blood levels of specific immune cells subsets with conventional and novel deformation related indices of LV function in KTRs.
METHOD
31 stable KTRs (mean age 58 ± 9.28 years, 67% males, 13% diabetics) without established CVD were enrolled. Control population included 17 chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 patients without history of CVD. Additional exclusion criteria were history of malignancy, autoimmune disease and active or chronic infections. The peripheral blood immune cell subsets CD14++CD16-, CD14++CD16+and CD14+CD16++ absolute values and percentages out of total monocytes and NK cells (CD3+CD16+56+), CD3-CD19+B lymphocytes, CD3+CD4+T cells, CD3+CD8+T cells and Tregs (CD4+CD25+FoxP3+) absolute values and percentages out of total lymphocytes were measured by flow cytometry. Simultaneously, conventional (left atrial volume index (LAVI), LV mass index (LVMI), E/E’) and novel 2D speckle tracking (2DST) echocardiographic indices of LV function [global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS), TWIST AND UNTWIST] were assessed.
RESULTS
KTRs had a mean eGFR of 58 ± 18 mL/min/1.73 m2 (CKD-EPI) and mean 24-h proteinuria (PER) 707 ± -1185 mg/24 h. Total lymphocytes, B-cells, T-cells and CD8+T cells counts correlated positively with eGFR (P < 0.05). Increased non-classical CD14+CD16++ monocytes were associated with proteinuria levels (P < 0.01) whereas an inverse correlation was observed between the percentage of classical CD14++CD16- monocytes with PER (P < 0.05). When compared with CKD patients, KTRs displayed higher CD14++CD16- and lower CD14+CD16++ monocytes counts, a lower percentage of NK cells and T cells and lower Tregs (significant differences presented in Table 1). Regarding classical indices of LV function, increased total monocytes were associated with elevated LAVI (P < 0.05), whereas an increased percentage of the intermediate CD14++CD16+monocytes correlated positively with an increased E/E’ value. Increased NK cells were associated with more negative GCS values (P < 0.05). No significant correlations were observed between the rest immune cells with the classical or novel LV dysfunction indices.
CONCLUSION
Alterations of immune cells subsets correlate with subclinical markers of LV dysfunction in KTRs with no established CVD. Future research is required to evaluate the role of immune subpopulations as tools to identify KTRs who are at the highest risk for complications and guide interventions.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are closely interrelated. Adverse immune responses have been implicated in the pathogenesis of both CVD and CKD [1, 2]. Monocyte subsets are key in atherogenesis and the inflammatory cascade occurring in heart failure [1, 2]. Likewise, the role of lymphocyte subpopulations including natural killer (NK) cells and CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the modulation of inflammation and immunity and subsequent cardiovascular implications have received increasing attention [2]. The implication of immune cells subsets in the abnormal myocardial remodeling as universally occurs in CKD patients even without overt CVD, remains to be clarified [3]. The aim of our study was to investigate potential correlations between blood levels of specific immune cells subsets with conventional and novel deformation-related indices of LV function in a cohort of patients with CKD without established CVD.
METHOD
A total of 35 stable CKD patients (mean age 66 ±12.2 years, 57% males, 20% diabetics) without established CVD were included in the study. Exclusion criteria included the history of malignancy, autoimmune disease and active or chronic infections. The peripheral blood immune cell subsets CD14++CD16-, CD14++CD16 + and CD14 + CD16++ percentage and absolute number of cells out of the total monocytes and NK cells (CD3 + CD16 + 56+), CD3-CD19 + B lymphocytes, CD3 + CD4 + T cells, CD3 + CD8 + T cells and Tregs (CD4 + CD25 + FoxP3+) absolute values and percentage out of the total lymphocytes were measured by flow cytometry. Simultaneously, conventional [left atrial volume index (LAVI), LV mass index (LVMI), LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), E/E’] and novel 2D speckle tracking (2DST) echocardiographic indices of LV function [global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS), TWIST and UNTWIST] were assessed.
RESULTS
The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 28 ±15 mL/min/1.73 m2 (CKD-EPI) and the mean 24-h proteinuria was 2457 ±2399 mg. The percentage of total blood lymphocytes, as well as both percentage and absolute counts of CD4 + T-cells, were positively correlated with the eGFR (P < 0.05 and < 0.01 respectively) whereas. In addition, both NK cells percentage (P < 0.05) and absolute values (P < 0.01) showed a negative association with proteinuria. Regarding classical indices of LV function, NK counts were negatively associated with LVEDV (P < 0.05). An increased percentage of intermediate CD14++CD16 + monocytes was positively associated with the GRS (P < 0.005). Furthermore, the percentage of T-cells and CD8 + T-cells were positively associated with LV TWIST whereas a positive association was found between the percentage of CD8 + T-cells and more negative values of LV UNTWIST (P < 0.05). No specific significant correlations were observed between the rest immune cells subpopulations with either the classical or the novel indices of LV dysfunction.
CONCLUSION
The results of our study suggest that alterations of immune cells subsets correlate with subclinical markers of LV dysfunction in CKD patients without established CVD. The significance of the implication of the cellular arm of the immune system in the pathophysiological pathways of specific CVD phenotypes in CKD and the utility of immune cells subsets as tools to identify CKD patients who are at the highest risk for developing complications shall be elucidated by future research.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are common clinical entities, closely inter-related, sharing multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. Their co-incidence is associated with further worsening of the prognosis of one another. Despite their frequent co-existence, important clinical questions still remain unanswered. The risk of VTE especially in chronic HF patients appears to vary widely in clinical studies, while the VTE-associated risk in HF pa-tients is still not well determined and cannot be accurately predicted. Although scientific guidelines recommend venous thromboprophylaxis in patients hospitalized with an acute HF syndrome, venous thromboprophylaxis has not been studied adequately in prospective trials in ambulatory HF patients. In the present review, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge on the epidemiology of VTE and HF, the risk prediction for VTE occurrence in HF patients, the impact on patient outcome, and the need for anticoagulation in certain HF subgroups to improve prognosis, while we sought to identify gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed in the future.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are nowadays considered as the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), the most typical form of cardiovascular disease is diagnosed by a variety of imaging modalities, both invasive and non-invasive, which involve either risk implications or high cost. Therefore, several attempts have been undertaken to early diagnose and predict either the high CAD risk patients or the cardiovascular events, implementing machine learning techniques. The purpose of this study is to present a classification scheme for the prediction of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) stenting placement, using image-based data. The proposed classification model is a gradient boosting classifier, incorporated into a class imbalance handling technique, the Easy ensemble scheme and aims to classify coronary segments into high CAD risk and low CAD risk, based on their PCI placement. Through this study, we investigate the importance of image based features, concluding that the combination of the coronary degree of stenosis and the fractional flow reserve achieves accuracy 78%.

Abstract
Background Reports from countries severely hit by the COVID‐19 pandemic suggest a decline in acute coronary syndrome (ACS)‐related hospitalizations. The generalizability of this observation on ACS admissions and possible related causes in countries with low COVID‐19 incidence are not known. Hypothesis ACS admissions were reduced in a country spared by COVID‐19. Methods We conducted a nationwide study on the incidence rates of ACS‐related admissions during a 6‐week period of the COVID‐19 outbreak and the corresponding control period in 2019 in Greece, a country with strict social measures, low COVID‐19 incidence, and no excess in mortality. Results ACS admissions in the COVID‐19 (n = 771) compared with the control (n = 1077) period were reduced overall (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 0.72, P < .001) and for each ACS type (ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI]: IRR: 0.76, P = .001; non‐STEMI: IRR: 0.74, P < .001; and unstable angina [UA]: IRR: 0.63, P = .002). The decrease in STEMI admissions was stable throughout the COVID‐19 period (temporal correlation; R2 = 0.11, P = .53), whereas there was a gradual decline in non‐STEMI/UA admissions (R2 = 0.75, P = .026) following the progressively stricter social measures. During the COVID‐19 period, patients admitted with ACS presented more frequently with left ventricular systolic impairment (22.2 vs 15.5% control period; P < .001). Conclusions We observed a reduction in ACS hospitalizations during the COVID‐19 outbreak in a country with strict social measures, low community transmission, and no excess in mortality. Medical care avoidance behavior is an important factor for these observations, while a true reduction of the ACS incidence due to self‐isolation/quarantining may have also played a role.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist, being closely interrelated as the one increases the prevalence and incidence and worsens the prognosis of the other. Their frequent coexistence raises several challenges, including under-diagnosis of HF with preserved ejection fraction in AF and of AF in HF, characterization and diagnosis of atrial cardiomyopathy, target and impact of rate control therapy on outcomes, optimal rhythm control strategy in the era of catheter ablation, HF-related thromboembolic risk and management of anticoagulation in patients with comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease or transient renal function worsening, coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes, valvular or structural heart disease interventions and cancer. In the present document, derived by an expert panel meeting, we sought to focus on the above challenging issues, outlining the existing evidence and identifying gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to present the HEARTEN Knowledge Management System, one of the core modules of the HEARTEN platform. The HEARTEN platform is an mHealth collaborative environment enabling the Heart Failure patients to self-manage the disease and remain adherent, while allowing the other ecosystem actors (healthcare professionals, caregivers, nutritionists, physical activity experts, psychologists) to monitor the patient's health progress and offer personalized, predictive and preventive disease management. The HEARTEN Knowledge Management System is a tool which provides multiple functionalities to the ecosystem actors for the assessment of the patient's condition, the estimation of the patient's adherence, the prediction of potential adverse events, the calculation of Heart Failure related scores, the extraction of statistics, the association of patient clinical and non-clinical data and the provision of alerts and suggestions. The innovation of this tool lays in the analysis of multi-parametric personal data coming from different sources, including for the first time breath and saliva biomarkers, and the use of machine learning techniques. The HEARTEN Knowledge Management System consists of nine modules. The accuracy of the KMS modules ranges from 78% to 95% depending on the module/functionality.

Abstract
Heart failure affects 1–2% of the population worldwide, and it is characterized by episodes of decompensation often requiring hospitalization. Although targeted treatment has reduced the prevalence of rehospitalizations to 30–50%, mortality rates remain high. A complex blend of structural and functional alterations accounts for the genesis and progression of heart failure, but the exact underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood. The aim of this review is to summarize endothelial dysfunction and its role in the pathogenesis and progression of heart failure. Moreover, it sums up all the appropriate methods of assessing endothelial dysfunction emphasizing on flow-mediated dilation and introduces endothelium as a potential target for new therapeutic development and research in the wide spectrum of the syndrome called heart failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an invasive method used for treating patients with refractory angina. Although SCS is recommended by the European Society of Cardiology and American Heart Association (class lib, level of evidence B and C, respectively), the method is used very rarely and data on its effectiveness is limited. The aim of this work was to perform a systematic review of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effectiveness of SCS as a treatment for refractory angina. METHODS Medline and Cochrane library databases were searched from their inception to April 2014 for RCTs that investigated the efficacy and safety of SCS in patients with refractory angina. RESULTS Nine RCTs were included in the systematic review. The included RCTs were categorized into two groups: RCTs comparing SCS either with optimal medical treatment or inactive mode or low stimulation SCS; and those comparing SCS with alternative therapeutic interventions. Follow-up was short-term (1-6 months) in most studies, showing no major complications. Two studies reported a neutral effect regarding mortality. Regarding efficacy, most RCTs were in favour of SCS mainly in the short term. The most recent, multi-centre RCT reported no significant difference compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS RCTs investigating the efficacy of SCS were small and they demonstrated a small effect in angina improvement. Due to great differences in their design the interpretation of the results is complex. Before this method is recommended as a routine therapy for refractory angina, a larger, well-designed, multicentre RCT is needed.

Abstract
This study examines social and behavioral factors associated with condom use among female commercial sex workers (CSWs) in Tarlac, the Philippines. One hundred and twenty-one CSWs who visited a social hygiene clinic for regular check-ups were asked to fill out a self-administered questionnaire with thirty-one items. More than 80% of the respondents had experience of using condoms with clients. However, only 48% of them used consistently. Six factors, level of education, knowledge of condom application, knowledge of condom effectiveness for preventing AIDS, knowledge of AIDS, use of other contraceptives, and sex premise managers' advice about using condoms, were significantly associated with their condom use by bivariate analyses. Following a logistic regression analysis, three variables, education, knowledge of condom effectiveness, and sex premise managers' advice, were revealed to be independently associated with consistent condom use. We recommend that managers of sex premises take an active role in advocating condom use, and that the effectiveness of condoms as an AIDS preventative be emphasized in future educational and interventional programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of brachytherapy performed 24 h postintervention in de novo native coronary artery lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-nine patients with 39 de novo coronary artery lesions were randomised to prompt (immediately after intervention, n=21) or delayed (24 h later, n=18) beta brachytherapy ((90)Sr/(90)Y) after been successfully revascularized with stenting. Clinical follow-up data up to 21 months (median time) were compared. After irradiation and at 6-month follow-up, paired volumetric analysis of the stented segment and the 5-mm proximal and distal reference segments was performed; this included measurements of the external elastic membrane, lumen, plaque, and media (external elastic membrane minus lumen), stent and intima hyperplasia (stent minus lumen). Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were similar in the two groups. Postintervention measurements of stent, lumen, and intima hyperplasia volumes as well as postintervention minimum lumen cross-sectional areas were not different. In the stented segments and in the segments 5 mm proximal and distal to the stent, similar changes of all IVUS measurements were measured in the two patient groups, but in the lumen volume at the proximal stent edge of patients irradiated 24 h postinjury. At 21 months median follow-up time, target lesion revascularization (TLR) was performed in 8 patients (38%) in the prompt irradiation group compared with 3 (17%) in the delayed (P=.17). CONCLUSION Beta irradiation is similarly effective whether performed immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention or 24 h later.

Abstract
Fibrinogen plays a major role in basic coagulation tests such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT). These show high interlaboratory variation because of inaccurate instrumental calibration. The same is true of the fibrinogen assay, despite its being a quantitative assay. Most medical laboratories use automated coagulometers and commercially available calibration materials (calibrators) to obtain an accurate fibrinogen value, but, when checked, calibrators have been found to deviate from the assigned value. The Japan Society of Laboratory Medicine (JSLM) has identified the need for a reliable plasma fibrinogen standard. To enhance the reliability of calibrator fibrinogen values and thereby remedy the poor precision and accuracy of plasma fibrinogen testing, we undertook the preparation of a standard calibration material applicable to both the Clauss method and turbidimetric immunoassay (TIA). The calibrator was prepared from fresh human plasma by glycine precipitation and virus inactivation followed by affinity chromatography to remove contaminated plasminogen. In the resulting product, clottable fibrinogen accounted for 95% of total protein and within-run precision showed a CV of less than 1.8%. We believe the preparation will become a candidate material for laboratory and manufacturer use in Japan.

Abstract
Multiresolution wavelet analysis has been used to study the heart rate variability in two classes of patients with different pathological conditions. The scale dependent measure of Thurner et al. was found to be statistically significant in discriminating patients suffering from hypercardiomyopathy from a control set of normal subjects. We have performed Receiver Operating Characteristc (ROC) analysis and found the ROC area to be a useful measure by which to label the significance of the discrimination, as well as to describe the severity of heart dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine longitudinally fetal and maternal blood lactate concentrations during the second stage of labour. DESIGN Prospective, observational study of randomly selected labours. SETTING Labour ward, Sultanah Aminah General Hospital, Johore Bahru, Malaysia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Fetal scalp and maternal venous blood lactate, umbilical arterial and vein lactate and acid-base balance at delivery. RESULTS Sixty-nine women and their infants were monitored in the second stage of labour. Mean maternal venous lactate by the end of the first stage was 2.6 +/- 1.0 (+/- S.D.) mmol/L and increased to 3.6 +/- 1.4, 4.2 +/- 1.7. 4.8 +/- 1.6, 5.4 +/- 2.1 and 4.3 +/- 0.9 mmol/L, respectively, for every 15 minute of bearing down. Corresponding values for fetal scalp blood lactate were 2.4 +/- 1.1, 3.1 +/- 1.6, 3.2 +/- 1.8, 4.2 +/- 2.4, 4.9 +/- 2.8 and 5.8 +/- 1.9 mmol/L. The mean slope of maternal lactate increase was 0.070 mmol/L per minute (95% CI 0.050, 0.090) and for fetal lactate increase 0.032 mmol/L per minute (95% C.I.: 0.018, 0.045). The duration of active second stage was significantly associated with fetal lactate (P < 0.001) and maternal lactate (P = 0.03) at the time of crowning of the fetal head, and lactate in umbilical arterial and vein blood at delivery (P < 0.001). Expulsion time > or = 45 minutes, compared with shorter active second stage, and acidaemia at birth implied larger arterial-venous lactate differences (P < 0.001). Fetal lactate at crowning was also significantly associated with the umbilical arterial-veonus lactate difference (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Maternal and fetal lactate concentrations increase significantly with duration of the active second stage of labour, more rapidly in the mother. It is likely that fetal anaerobic metabolism is the main source for the fetal lactate increase.

Abstract
The adsorption property of activated charcoal on verotoxin (VT)-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) was examined using E. coli O157:H7. In the present study, E. coli O157:H7 strains were effectively adsorbed by activated charcoal. Adsorption was dose-dependent, and the maximum adsorption occurred within 5 min. At 10 mg of activated charcoal, bacteria tested were completely adsorbed. Activated charcoal also had the capacity to adsorb toxin (verotoxin 2) activity from the bacterial extract. Furthermore, the adsorption efficiency of activated charcoal for the normal bacterial flora in the intestine was assessed using Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium thermophilum, and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Activated charcoal showed lower binding capacity to the normal bacterial flora tested than that to E. coli O157:H7 strains. These results suggest that activated charcoal could be a good adsorbent system for the removal of VTEC and verotoxin.

Abstract
In order to clarify the presence and verotoxin (VT) inhibitory activity of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in bovine milk, we analyzed neutral glycosphingolipids (GSLs) from bovine milk and investigated the inhibitory effect of bovine milk Gb3 on the cytotoxicity of VT2. Five species of neutral GSLs, designated as N-1, N-2, N-3, N-4, and N-5, were separated on thin-layer chromatography (TLC). N-1, N-2, and N-3 showed the same mobility as glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide, and Gb3 on the TLC plate, respectively. N-4 and N-5 GSLs migrated below globoside on the TLC plate. N-3 GSL having the same TLC mobility as Gb3 from bovine milk was immunologically identified as Gb3 by monoclonal antibody against Gb3, anti-CD77 monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, the effect of bovine milk Gb3 on VT2-induced cytotoxicity was investigated. We found that treatment of VT2 with bovine milk Gb3 can reduce the cytotoxic effect of VT2.

Abstract
Expression of retinoic acid receptor beta (RARbeta) is reported to be absent or down-regulated in oral squamous cell carcinomas. Recently, we found that the growth-inhibitory effect of 9-cis-retinoic acid (9CRA) on oral squamous cell carcinoma may depend on the expression levels of endogenous RARbeta. In order to clarify the role of RARbeta in growth and differentiation, we transfected RARbeta expression vector into oral squamous carcinoma cell lines, HSC-4 and Ho-1-N-1. Both RARbeta-transfected cell lines displayed growth inhibition. Moreover, RARbeta-transfected clones underwent morphological changes, and RARbeta-transfected HSC-4 clones underwent apoptosis even in the absence of 9CRA treatment. In contrast, RARbeta-transfected Ho-1-N-1 clones exhibited cell cycle arrest without undergoing apoptosis initially; however, apoptosis was induced in these cells after 6 days of 9CRA treatment. RARalpha and RARgamma expression was reduced at both the protein and mRNA levels in RARbeta transfectants, whereas the expression of retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRalpha) was not altered. RARb transfectants exhibited alterations in the levels of cell cycle-associated proteins, histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and apoptosis-associated proteins. After 6 days of 9CRA treatment, RARbeta transfectants overexpressed Waf1 / Cip1 / Sdi1 / p21, Kip1 / p27, chk1, p300 / CBP, BAX, Bak, Apaf 1, caspase 3 and caspase 9. Conversely, E2F1, cdc25B and HDAC1 were down-regulated in these transfectants. In addition, histone H4 acetylation was induced in RARb transfectants. These findings suggest that histone acetylation mediated by histone acetyltransferase and p300 / CBP may play a role in the growth arrest and apoptosis induced by RARbeta transfection in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
The effect of trichostatin A (TSA), histone deacetylase inhibitor, on cell growth and the mechanism of growth modulation was examined in 8 gastric and 3 oral carcinoma cell lines which included 9-cis-retinoic acid resistant (MKN-7 and Ho-1-N-1) and IFN-beta resistant cell lines (MKN-7, -28 and -45). TSA inhibited growth in all cell lines examined. Apoptotic cell death was confirmed by apoptotic ladder formation and induction of a cleaved form (85 kDa) of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) induction. TSA enhanced the protein expression of p21(WAF1), CREB-binding protein, cyclinE, cyclin A, Bak and Bax, while it reduced the expression of E2F-1, E2F-4, HDAC1, p53 and hyperphosphorylated form of Rb. Furthermore, TSA induced morphological changes, such as elongation of cytoplasm and cell-to-cell detachment, in gastric and oral carcinoma cell lines. These results suggest that TSA may inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis of gastric and oral carcinoma cells through modulation of the expression of cell cycle regulators and apoptosis-regulating proteins.

Abstract
The effect of intestinal IgA antibody against the receptor for verotoxin (VT), globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), on VT-mediated cytotoxicity was examined. Intestinal IgA antibodies against Gb3 were prepared by oral immunization of mice with Gb3 and adjuvant monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL)-containing liposomes composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylserine and cholesterol (1 : 1 : 2, molar ratio) (PS-liposome). Oral administration with Gb3 and MPL-containing PS-liposome induced significant IgA responses to Gb3 in the intestinal lavage fluid in all mice tested. Furthermore, anti-Gb3 IgA antibodies in the lavage fluid effectively inhibited the cytotoxicity of VT2 to Vero cells in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that anti-Gb3 IgA antibodies produced in the intestinal tract, upon oral immunization with Gb3-containing liposome, function as inhibitors against VT and also indicate the potential usefulness of oral PS-liposome vaccines containing MPL for the induction of a protective mucosal immune response against intestinal diseases.

Abstract
An accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, DNA repair genes, cell cycle regulators, cell adhesion molecules, and the growth factor/receptor system is involved in the course of multistep conversion of normal epithelial cells to clinical gastric cancer. Some of them differ depending on the histological type, well-differentiated (intestinal) and poorly differentiated (diffuse) types, suggesting the presence of two distinct genetic pathways. Genetic instability, chromosomal instability (telomere reduction), and immortality (activation of telomerase and expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase: TERT) participate in the initial step of stomach carcinogenesis. Because TERT protein expression precedes the telomerase activities in precancerous lesions, TERT expression may be a prerequisite for telomerase activation. The cyclin E gene is amplified in 15%-20% of gastric cancer. Reduced expression of a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, p27Kip1, is frequently found in gastric cancer associated with high grade malignancy. E2F-1, an important downstream target of cyclins/CDKs, is overexpressed in about 40% of gastric carcinomas, whereas gene amplification of E2F-1 rarely occurs. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of p73, the p53-related new tumor suppressor gene, preferentially occurs in well-differentiated adenocarcinomas of foveolar type expressing pS2, a gastric-specific trefoil factor, indicating the importance of p73 LOH in the genesis.

Abstract
Retinoic acid (RA) has been shown to be effective in suppressing premalignant lesions and preventing second primary malignancies in patients cured of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. However, the precise mechanisms of these effects are still uncertain. In the present study, we examined the effect of 9-cis-RA on the growth of six oral cancer cell lines (HSC-2, HSC-3, HSC-4, Ca9-22, Ho-1-N-1 and Ho-1-u-1). In addition, the relationship among growth and differentiation of tumor cells, RA responsiveness and the expression of nuclear retinoic acid receptors were also investigated. Among the six cell lines examined, five (HSC-2, HSC-3, HSC-4, Ca9-22 and Ho-1-u-1) displayed growth inhibition after treatment with 1x10(-6) M 9-cis-RA, while Ho-1-N-1 cells were resistant to 9-cis-RA. The expression level of RARbeta in 9-cis-RA resistant Ho-1-N-1 cells was very low in comparison with the sensitive cell lines. On the other hand, all of the six the cell lines expressed RARalpha, RARgamma, and RXRalpha at various levels. 9-cis-RA induced accumulation of cell population in G1 phase in HSC-3 cells on the 6th day of the treatment, followed by a marked reduction in the levels of hyperphosphorylated pRB, whereas p53 level was not altered. Interestingly, 9-cis-RA induced transiently the expression of p21(Waf1/Cip1), p27(Kip1), p300, CBP, BAX, Bak and bcl-2 proteins, respectively. This effect was associated with reduction of cyclin D1, cdk4 and CDK-activating kinase (cyclin H and cdk7) protein in HSC-3 cells. These results suggest that the growth inhibitory effect of 9-cis-RA on oral squamous cell carcinoma may depend on the expression levels of RARs, especially RARbeta proteins and RXRalpha proteins, and that 9-cis-RA may provide a powerful therapeutic agent for head and neck cancers.
