Abstract
279 Background: Adenocarcinomas of the ampulla of Vater and duodenum are both rare periampullary tumors with limited data regarding the use of neoadjuvant therapy. We sought to better define the role of neoadjuvant therapy as compared to adjuvant therapy in patients with high-risk disease. Methods: Retrospective review of the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) tumor registry from 5/1990 to 1/2009 identified 66 cases of ampullary (26 neoadjuvant, 40 adjuvant) and 41 cases of duodenal adenocarcinoma (18 neoadjuvant, 23 adjuvant). Only patients who received adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy and underwent surgical resection at MDACC where included. High-risk factors were defined as T3 or T4, poor differentiation, or lymph node involvement. Relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from the start of surgical resection. Results: Median age was 61 yrs (range 30-82) and 39% were female. Neoadjuvant (n=44) and adjuvant therapy (n=63) consisted of 5-FU chemoradiation in 93% and 65%, systemic 5-FU based chemotherapy only in 5% and 24%, and gemcitabine or irinotecan based therapy in 2% and 11%, respectively. Pathological high-risk factors were seen in 77% and 95% of neoadjuvant and adjuvant patients, respectively. Indications for neoadjuvant therapy were high risk disease (70%), poor surgical candidate (16%), and concern for possible metastatic disease (14%). In the neoadjuvant group T and N downstaging were observed in 25% and 32% of patients, respectively; 3 patients (7%) had a pathological complete response. Neoadjuvant as compared to adjuvant therapy had similar 5-year OS (66% vs. 59%, p =0.8) and 5-year RFS (54% vs. 59%, p=0.4). Variables significant (p <0.05) in the multivariate analysis for OS were age >60 yrs, lymph node involvement, and margin positivity; and for RFS were lymph node involvement and margin positivity. Neither tumor type (duodenal vs. ampullary; OS HR: 1.6, p =0.2; RFS HR: 0.9, p=0.8) nor treatment type (neoadjuvant vs. adjuvant; OS HR: 1.2, p =0.6; RFS HR: 1.1, p=0.7) were significant for OS or RFS in the multivariate model. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant therapy appears to be a viable approach for high-risk duodenal and ampullary adenocarcinomas. Further investigation of this treatment approach is needed. [Table: see text]

Abstract
401 Background: CAFs were previously shown to be modulated in patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) after bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy. Validation of these prior findings is warranted. In addition, the relative impact of bevacizumab and the cytotoxic chemotherapy components on CAFs has not been previously described. Methods: Plasma samples from 403 mCRC pts were obtained prior to any chemotherapy (Group A) or after progression on a regimen without or with bevacizumab (Group B and C, respectively) between 2002 and 2008. Samples were matched for number of metastatic disease sites (Groups A, B, C) and for prior chemotherapy duration, and time from last chemotherapy dose to sample collection (Groups B, C). Levels of 48 CAFs were measured by suspension bead multiplex assays (BioRad and EMD). Comparisons of Groups A v C (n=169 pairs) and Groups B v C (n=65 pairs) were by the two-sided, nonparametric Wilcoxon paired test, with p<0.05 significance for confirmation of previous CAF results. Results: Prior chemotherapy duration (6.5mo, 6.7mo), and time from last chemotherapy dose to sample collection (1.3mo, 1.2 mo) were similar for Groups B and C, respectively. Results were available for 80% of the samples. Compared to Group A, Group B had reductions in multiple CAFs, including IL-8 (-38%, p<0.0001) and PDGF (-62%, p<0.0001). Commensurate with prior results, PlGF, Eotaxin and TRAIL were increased in Group C by 30% (p<0.0001), 23% (p=0.024) and 19% (p=0.008) respectively. Most CAF changes were attributable to chemotherapy alone. However, PlGF (-31%, p<0.0001) and TRAIL (+26%, p=0.037) significantly differed in Groups B v C. In group C compared to A, multiple changes were seen in the EGFR-axis including decreases in EGF (-52%, p=0.032), epiregulin (-25%, p=0.0023), and HB-EGF (-40%, p<0.0001) as well as an increase in sEGFR (+10%, p=0.004). Conclusions: Most changes in CAFs after treatment with bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy appear to be due to chemotherapy alone and not attributable to anti-VEGF therapy, with several notable exceptions. Chemotherapy-induced changes in the EGFR-axis have not previously been described in mCRC and warrant further investigation. [Table: see text]

Abstract
In coeliac disease, the intake of dietary gluten induces small-bowel mucosal damage and the production of immunoglobulin (Ig)A class autoantibodies against transglutaminase 2 (TG2). We examined the effect of coeliac patient IgA on the apical-to-basal passage of gluten-derived gliadin peptides p31-43 and p57-68 in intestinal epithelial cells. We demonstrate that coeliac IgA enhances the passage of gliadin peptides, which could be abolished by inhibition of TG2 enzymatic activity. Moreover, we also found that both the apical and the basal cell culture media containing the immunogenic gliadin peptides were able to induce the proliferation of deamidation-dependent coeliac patient-derived T cells even in the absence of exogenous TG2. Our results suggest that coeliac patient IgA could play a role in the transepithelial passage of gliadin peptides, a process during which they might be deamidated.

Abstract
The success of gene therapy hinges on achievement of adequate transgene expression. To ensure high transgene expression, many gene-therapy vectors include highly active virus-derived transcriptional elements. Other vectors include tissue-specific eukaryotic transcriptional elements, intended to limit transgene expression to specific cell types, avoid toxicity and prevent immune responses. Unfortunately, tissue specificity is often accompanied by lower transgene expression. Here, we use eukaryotic (murine) transcriptional elements and a virus-derived posttranscriptional element to build cassettes designed to express a potentially therapeutic gene (interleukin (IL)-10) in large-vessel endothelial cells (ECs) at levels as high as obtained with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early promoter, while retaining EC specificity. The cassettes were tested by incorporation into helper-dependent adenoviral vectors, and transduction into bovine aortic EC in vitro and rabbit carotid EC in vivo. The murine endothelin-1 promoter showed EC specificity, but expressed only 3% as much IL-10 mRNA as CMV. Inclusion of precisely four copies of an EC-specific enhancer and a posttranscriptional regulatory element increased IL-10 expression to a level at or above the CMV promoter in vivo, while retaining--and possibly enhancing--EC specificity, as measured in vitro. The cassette reported here will likely be useful for maximizing transgene expression in large-vessel EC, while minimizing systemic effects.

Abstract
Objective
To determine colorectal and overall cancer incidence as part of a three-pronged investigation in response to the concerns of a First Nations community in Alberta, Canada, located close to sulfur-rich natural gas installations, and to determine whether the incidence of cancers observed in this reserve was higher than expected.
Methods
A population dataset with information identifying First Nations status and band affiliation was linked to the Alberta Cancer Registry to determine cancer incidence cases between 1995 and 2006 for on- and off-reserve study populations. Using indirect standardized incidence ratios, observed cancer incidence cases for the study populations were compared with cases expected based on three separate reference populations.
Results
Observed colorectal and overall cancer incidence cases within the First Nations community were not higher than expected. Cervical cancer incidence cases, however, were higher than expected for on- and off-reserve populations; public health measures designed to address this risk have been implemented and on-going surveillance of cancer incidence in the community will be maintained.

Abstract
Our present dependence on fossil fuels means that, as our demand for energy inevitably increases, so do emissions of greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide (CO2). To avoid the obvious consequences on climate change, the concentration of such greenhouse gases in the atmosphere must be stabilized. But, as populations grow and economies develop, future demands now ensure that energy will be one of the defining issues of this century. This unique set of (coupled) challenges also means that science and engineering have a unique opportunity-and a burgeoning challenge-to apply their understanding to provide sustainable energy solutions. Integrated carbon capture and subsequent sequestration is generally advanced as the most promising option to tackle greenhouse gases in the short to medium term. Here, we provide a brief overview of an alternative mid- to long-term option, namely, the capture and conversion of CO2, to produce sustainable, synthetic hydrocarbon or carbonaceous fuels, most notably for transportation purposes. Basically, the approach centres on the concept of the large-scale re-use of CO2 released by human activity to produce synthetic fuels, and how this challenging approach could assume an important role in tackling the issue of global CO2 emissions. We highlight three possible strategies involving CO2 conversion by physico-chemical approaches: sustainable (or renewable) synthetic methanol, syngas production derived from flue gases from coal-, gas- or oil-fired electric power stations, and photochemical production of synthetic fuels. The use of CO2 to synthesize commodity chemicals is covered elsewhere (Arakawa et al. 2001 Chem. Rev. 101, 953-996); this review is focused on the possibilities for the conversion of CO2 to fuels. Although these three prototypical areas differ in their ultimate applications, the underpinning thermodynamic considerations centre on the conversion-and hence the utilization-of CO2. Here, we hope to illustrate that advances in the science and engineering of materials are critical for these new energy technologies, and specific examples are given for all three examples. With sufficient advances, and institutional and political support, such scientific and technological innovations could help to regulate/stabilize the CO2 levels in the atmosphere and thereby extend the use of fossil-fuel-derived feedstocks.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective clinical study. OBJECTIVE To assess the method of primary surgical closure of pressure sores developed by the Ruixin Hospital for burns. SETTING Nanjing, China. METHODS The study included 235 grade IV pressure sores of 160 patients, M:F = 119:41. Their age ranged from 19 to 93 years (mean = 47.4, s.d. ± 15.7). The primary disease was spinal cord injury in 141 patients (88.1%). The location of sore spread over ischial, sacrococcygeal and trochanteric regions. The largest pressure sore measured 15 × 25 cm(2). The time from onset of sore to admission ranged from 3 months to 22 years (mean = 35.5 months, s.d. ± 55.8). Local preoperative preparation included external skin traction using adhesive tapes, wound cleaning and change of dressing. General condition was checked and improved by supportive measures. Operation procedures included thorough debridement, excision of hidden minor scars, mobilizing opposing skin flaps and meticulous haemostasis before closure. Skin traction continued after the operation until the wound was healed. RESULTS All but 10 sores healed primarily. These 10 sores healed after a revision. The length of stay in hospital ranged from 20 to 140 days (mean = 45.1 days, s.d. ± 21.1). Follow-up period was 2-51 months (mean = 22 months, s.d. ± 12.5). Two ischial sores recurred owing to long sitting. They were cured with the same method. Three illustrative cases are presented. CONCLUSION The method is simple and enjoys a high success rate with a short stay in hospital and hence is cost effective. The recurrence is rare.

Abstract
A method is developed for calculating the small-angle x-ray scattering originating from within the interior of a thin film under grazing incidence illumination. This offers the possibility of using x-ray scattering to probe how the structure of polymers is modified by confinement. When the diffuse scattering from a thin film is measured over a range of incident angles, it is possible to separate the contributions to scattering from the interfaces and the contribution from the film interior. Using the distorted-wave Born approximation the structure factor, S(q), of the film interior can then be obtained. We apply this method to analyze density fluctuations from within the interior of a silicon supported molten polystyrene (PS) film. Measurements were made as a function of film thickness ranging from one to ten times the polymer radius of gyration (Rg). The compressibility, calculated by extrapolating the measured S(q) to q=0, agrees well with that of bulk PS for thick films, but thinner films exhibit a peak in S(q) near q=0. This peak, which grows with decreasing thickness, is attributed to a decreased interpenetration of chains and a consequent enhanced compressibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate retrospectively whether cerebral blood volume measurement based on pretreatment perfusion MRI is a prognostic biomarker for survival in patients with oligodendroglioma or mixed oligoastrocytoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1998 and 2004, 54 patients (23 females and 31 males), aged 21-73 years, with oligodendroglioma (or mixed tumour) were examined prior to beginning treatment with dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast (DSC) perfusion MRI during gadolinium first-pass. The relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) was calculated by dividing the measurement within the tumour by the measurement of the normal-appearing contralateral region. Patients were classified in two groups, grade A and grade B, according to the Saint-Anne Hospital classification and followed-up clinically and by means of MRI until their death or for a minimum of 5 years. Patients were also classified in grade II and grade III-IV, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification, and were analysed with the same methods. Age, sex, treatment, tumour grade, contrast agent uptake, and rCBV were tested using survival curves with Kaplan-Meier's method, and their differences were analysed using the log-rank test. RESULTS In this population, median survival was 3 years. A rCBV threshold value of 2.2 was validated as a prognostic factor, for survival in these patients with oligodendrogliomas. Age, sex, contrast uptake, and maximum rCBV were found to be prognostic factors in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumour grade (grade A/grade B), rCBV, age, and sex were prognostic factors independent of the other factors. The tumour grade according to the WHO classification (II versus III-IV) was also detected as an independent prognostic factor. CONCLUSION Pretreatment rCBV measured by DSC perfusion MRI was found to be a prognostic factor for survival in patients with oligodendroglioma or mixed tumour, by using the Saint-Anne Hospital classification, which separate the IIB from the IIA.

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the requirement of non-phytate phosphorus (nPP) and efficacy of a genetically engineered yeast phytase in performance and tibia characteristics by male Lingnan Yellow broilers from 1 to 21 days of age. A total of 2640 1-day-old male chicks were randomly allotted to one of 11 dietary treatments, which consisted of six replicate floor pens with 40 birds per pen. All treatments had the same levels of all nutrients except for phosphorus and phytase. The control group (treatment 1) was fed the basal diet without dicalcium phosphate or phytase supplementation. Dietary concentrations of nPP were 0.11%, 0.19%, 0.27%, 0.35%, 0.43%, 0.51% and 0.59% respectively for treatments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, through addition of dicalcium phosphate (chemistry grade) to the basal diet. Diets 8-11 were supplemented with a genetically engineered yeast phytase 250, 500, 750 U/kg and a commercial phytase product 500 U/kg in basal diet respectively. The results showed that 0.46% and 0.51% nPP were required for maximum body-weight gain and optimum tibia development indicators respectively. However, 0.59% nPP had a negative effect on bird growth. The equivalency value of the genetically engineered yeast phytase was estimated to be 874 U/kg to liberate 0.1% nPP.
