Abstract
PURPOSE Sonochemotherapy is a promising modality for cancers, but the interaction between an anticancer agent and insonation has not been understood. The interactions in vitro and in vivo were quantified in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS The combination index (CI) and dose reduction index (DRI) were calculated, thus determining the interaction. Human ovarian cancer cells 3AO, SKOV(3), SKOV(3) /ADR, HO-8910 and HO-8910PM were subjected to a drug or sonochemotherapy (a drug followed by nonlethal insonation but in 3AO cells). SKOV(3) /ADR was an adriamycin-resistant subclone and HO-8910PM was the subline with highly metastatic potential. Adriamycin was used for 3AO, SKOV(3) and SKOV(3) /ADR cells, and cisplatin or paclitaxel employed for HO-8910 and HO-8910PM cells. Effect of the sequence of administration of a drug and insonation on the interaction was investigated in 3AO cells. RESULTS A drug followed by ultrasound led to better anticancer effects and higher CI and DRI at each concentration compared with the alternate sequence. Sonochemotherapy resulted in a higher cell-death rate, compared with a drug alone. CIs were > 1.15 in 3AO, SKOV(3) /ADR and HO-8910 cells showing synergisms, and the value in SKOV(3) indicated an addition. In HO-8910PM cells, CI was above 1.15 at ≥ 2.0 µg/ml cisplatin or ≥ 18 µg/ml paclitaxel, and the interaction shifted from a slight antagonism, an addition to a synergism when increasing the level of cisplatin. A noticeable event in HO-8910PM cells was that a slight antagonism occurred but with a higher cell-death rate. DRIs were > 1 in all cells, indicating that the use of ultrasound reduced the required dose of a drug thus decreasing toxicities. In vivo trials resulted in a CI of 1.17 for SKOV(3) tumors and a value of 1.51 for SKOV(3) /ADR ones. CONCLUSION Sonochemotherapy was effective against cancers including chemoresistant and metastatic lesions, via a synergy and/or an addition. The interaction depended on both the anticancer drug and cell type. For a specific cell type and a specific drug, modulating the dose resulted in a shift of the interaction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Irregular breathing causes variation in delineation of internal target volume (ITV), which is typically generated in the maximum intensity projection (MIP) images [1]. Previous studies have shown that MIP-based ITV can underestimate true tumor range [2]. This study examines a simple method to reduce such errors by combining the GTV of 3D-CT with the ITV of MIP. METHODS The Computerized Imaging Reference Systems (CIRS) Dynamic Thorax Phantom Model 008A (CIRS, Norfolk, VA) with CIRS motion control software was used to model 4 irregular patient respiratory profiles and one regular respiratory profile (sine wave). A 3 cm tumor insert was used as target. For each breathing profile, a 3D-CT and 3 repeated 4D-CT scans with random intervals within the breathing profile were performed on a 4-slice clinical scanner (Lightspeed, GE, WI). The RPM system (Varian, Palo Alto, CA) was used to track the respiratory profiles. GTV was contoured on 3D-CT, and ITV was contoured on each MIP (ITVMIP) using a consistent lung window by the same person. The new method of creating ITV was to combine the GTV and ITVMIP, namely ITVCOMB. To evaluate which ITV is more accurate, ITVCOMB and ITVMIP were compared to a 'ground truth' ITV (ITVGT) which was generated by combining the three ITVMIPs. RESULTS For the regular profile, both ITVMIP (27.25 cm3 ) and ITVCOMB (28.12 cm3 ) were comparable to ITVGT (27.25 cm3 ). For irregular profiles, the mean absolute difference between ITVCOMB and ITVGT (6.3%±4.9) was significantly (p-value=0.0078) smaller than that between ITVMIP and ITVGT (18.1%±12.3). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that combining GTV of the 3D-CT with the ITV of the MIP is more accurate than the ITV of the MIP alone, and thus would be a simple method to reduce breathing irregularity induced errors in ITV delineation for treatment planning of lung cancer.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this study were to create and evaluate the Gateway-compatible plasmids for investigating the function of genes in Vibrio alginolyticus and other Gram-negative bacteria. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, Gateway-compatible plasmids were successfully constructed for rapid and comprehensive function analysis of genes. Taking advantage of these plasmids, the in-frame deletion mutant strains and their complemented strains of five T6SS genes, including dotU1, VEPGS_0008, VEPGS_0011, hcp2 and ppkA2, were obtained. The results illustrated that all the mutant strains showed no significant effects on extracellular protease production, expression of Hcp1, and biofilm formation when compared to the wild-type strain, but in-frame deletion of VEPGS_0008 resulted in obvious biofilm reduction and the complemented strain restored to the level of the wild-type strain. Besides, in-frame deletion of dotU1, VEPGS_0008 and ppkA2 abolished the swarming ability. CONCLUSIONS A set of Gateway-compatible vectors for internal insertion, in-frame deletion and complementation of the target genes is constructed to facilitate the general and rapid function analysis of genes involved in T6SS in Vibrio alginolyticus. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The modified Gateway-compatible plasmids greatly facilitate the high-throughput and convenient function analysis of the unidentified genes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that administration of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol present in abundance in widely consumed tea, inhibits cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis in breast cancer patients. EGCG in 400 mg capsules was orally administered three times daily to breast cancer patients undergoing treatment with radiotherapy. Parameters related to cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis were analyzed while blood samples were collected at different time points to determine efficacy of the EGCG treatment. Compared to patients who received radiotherapy alone, those given radiotherapy plus EGCG for an extended time period (two to eight weeks) showed significantly lower serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and reduced activation of metalloproteinase-9 and metalloproteinase-2 (MMP9/MMP2). Addition of sera obtained from patients treated with combination of radiotherapy and EGCG feeding for 2-8 weeks to in vitro cultures of highly-metastatic human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells resulted in the following significant changes: (1) suppression of cell proliferation and invasion; (2) arrest of cell cycles at the G0/G1 phase; (3) reduction of activation of MMP9/MMP2, expressions of Bcl-2/Bax, c-Met receptor, NF-κB, and the phosphorylation of Akt. MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to 5-10 µM EGCG also showed significant augmentation of the apoptosis inducing effects of γ-radiation, concomitant with reduced NF-κB protein level and AKT phosphorylation. These results provide hitherto unreported evidence that EGCG potentiated efficacy of radiotherapy in breast cancer patients, and raise the possibility that this tea polyphenol has potential to be a therapeutic adjuvant against human metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although acupuncture analgesia is well documented, its mechanisms have not been thoroughly clarified. We previously showed that electroacupuncture (EA) activates supraspinal serotonin- and norepinephrine-containing neurones that project to the spinal cord. This study investigates the involvement of spinal alpha(2)-adrenoceptors (α2-ARs) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptors (5-HTRs) in EA effects on an inflammatory pain rat model. METHODS Inflammatory hyperalgesia was induced by injecting complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA, 0.08 ml) into the plantar surface of one hind paw and assessed by paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to a noxious thermal stimulus. The selective α2a-AR antagonist BRL-44408, α2b-AR antagonist imiloxan hydrochloride, 5-HT2B receptor (5-HT2BR) antagonist SB204741, 5-HT3R antagonist LY278584, or 5-HT1AR antagonists NAN-190 hydrobromide, or WAY-100635 were intrathecally administered 20 min before EA or sham EA, which was given 2 h post-CFA at acupoint GB30. RESULTS EA significantly increased PWL compared with sham [7.20 (0.46) vs 5.20 (0.43) s]. Pretreatment with α2a-AR [5.35 (0.45) s] or 5-HT1AR [5.22 (0.38) s] antagonists blocked EA-produced anti-hyperalgesia; α2b-AR, 5-HT2BR, and 5-HT3R antagonist pretreatment did not. Sham plus these antagonists did not significantly change PWL compared with sham plus vehicle, indicating that the antagonists had little effect on PWL. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that α2a-ARs are on primary afferents and 5-HT1ARs are localized in N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) subunit NR1-containing neurones in the spinal dorsal horn. CONCLUSIONS The data show that α2a-ARs and 5-HT1ARs are involved in the EA inhibition of inflammatory pain and that the NMDA receptors are involved in EA action.

Abstract
The balance between interleukin-18 (IL-18) and its endogenous antagonist, IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), was evaluated in children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). Plasma IL-18 and IL-18BP levels and peripheral blood mononuclear cell IL-18 mRNA expression were significantly higher in patients with active HSP (n = 30) than in healthy controls (n = 20); IL-18BP mRNA expression was similar in active HSP and controls. Plasma levels and mRNA expression of IL-18 and IL-18BP in patients in remission (n = 19) were similar to those in controls. The ratios of IL-18 / IL-18BP plasma levels and IL-18 / IL-18BP mRNA levels in active HSP were significantly higher than in patients in remission and healthy controls. Thus, adequate IL-18BP to block the proinflammatory activity of IL-18 may not be present in active HSP and regulation of the IL-18 / IL-18BP balance might provide a potential therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) typically relies on angiogenesis for its malignant behavior, including growth and metastasis. Vasohibin 2 (VASH2) was previously identified as an angiogenic factor, but its role in tumorigenesis is unknown. Using quantitative PCR and western blot analyses, we found that VASH2 is overexpressed in HCC cells and tissues. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, we detected histone modifications at the putative VASH2 promoter, with increased H3K4 trimethylation and H3 acetylation and decreased H3K27 trimethylation, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms are responsible for the deregulated VASH2 transcription in HCC. Knockdown of VASH2 via siRNA inhibited the proliferation of the hepatoma cell lines by delaying cell cycle progression and increasing apoptosis. Importantly, we found VASH2 secreted in the culture supernatant, and co-expression of its secretory chaperone small vasohibin-binding protein (SVBP) further enhanced VASH2 secretion. The supernatant from HepG2 cells expressing VASH2 enhanced the proliferation, migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and knockdown of VASH2 significantly inhibited these effects. In an in vivo study using a nude mouse model, we found that exogenous VASH2 significantly contributed to tumor growth, microvessel density and hemoglobin concentration in the tumors. Further analyses showed that the VASH2-mediated increase in the transcription of fibroblast growth factor-2, vascular endothelial growth factor and vasohibin 1 may be the mechanism underlying these effects. Taken together, these data indicate that VASH2 is abnormally expressed in HCC cells as a result of histone modifications and that VASH2 contributes to the angiogenesis in HCC via an SVBP-mediated paracrine mechanism. These results indicate a novel and important role for VASH2 in HCC angiogenesis and malignant transformation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the visual and anatomical results of surgery for macular hole-related retinal detachment (MHRD) after phacoemulsification cataract extraction. METHODS Data for all patients who underwent surgery for MHRD after phacoemulsification cataract extraction from 1 December 1998 to 30 September 2008 in one hospital were evaluated. Patient characteristics, best-corrected visual acuity (VA) preoperatively and at last examination, surgical technique, anatomical success, and follow-up period were extracted and analysed statistically. RESULTS A total of 13 625 eyes of 10 076 patients who had phacoemulsification cataract surgery were included. In the follow-up period, 10 cases of MHRD in nine patients were observed, of which seven eyes had high myopia. The mean axial length was 30.97 ± 1.36 mm (29.19, 32.97) and mean myopia was-19.35 ± 1.93 (-7.5,-3.5) dioptres. Overall anatomical success was achieved in 90% (9 out of 10 eyes). There was no statistically significant difference (P=0.240) between the logarithm of the MAR VA before the phacoemulsification cataract extraction and after MHRD surgical repair. VA increased in three eyes but decreased in the other seven after MHRD surgery. CONCLUSIONS As a primary procedure, vitreous surgery combined with other necessary adjunct procedures such as membrane peeling and retinal tamponade seems to be successful in achieving anatomical success. However, VA improvement is dependent on the type of macular lesion and not the surgical procedure.

Abstract
STAR's measurements of directed flow (v1) around midrapidity for π±, K±, KS0, p, and p[over ¯] in Au+Au collisions at √[sNN]=200 GeV are presented. A negative v1(y) slope is observed for most of produced particles (π±, K±, KS0, and p[over ¯]). In 5%-30% central collisions, a sizable difference is present between the v1(y) slope of protons and antiprotons, with the former being consistent with zero within errors. The v1 excitation function is presented. Comparisons to model calculations (RQMD, UrQMD, AMPT, QGSM with parton recombination, and a hydrodynamics model with a tilted source) are made. For those models which have calculations of v1 for both pions and protons, none of them can describe v1(y) for pions and protons simultaneously. The hydrodynamics model with a tilted source as currently implemented cannot explain the centrality dependence of the difference between the v1(y) slopes of protons and antiprotons.

Abstract
The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate procedures that may be used to predict the concentration of standardized ileal digestible (SID) Lys in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) fed to pigs and to evaluate the accuracy of a published equation to predict SID Lys in DDGS. Twenty-one sources of DDGS were analyzed (as-fed basis) for CP (23.8% to 33.6%; CV = 8.3%), Lys (0.69% to 1.17%; CV = 12.4%), and furosine (0.02% to 0.22%; CV = 91.4%). The concentration of reactive Lys (%, as-fed basis) was calculated as analyzed Lys (%) - furosine (%) ÷ 0.32 × 0.40 and ranged from 0.47% to 1.15% (CV = 20.7%) in the 21 sources of DDGS. Twenty-one diets that each contained 60.0% of 1 source of DDGS as the sole source of CP and AA were formulated. An N-free diet was also formulated and was used to determine basal endogenous losses of CP and AA. Twenty-two barrows with an initial BW of 45.2 kg (SD = 3.1 kg) were fitted with a T-cannula in the distal ileum and allotted to a 22 × 10 Youden square design with the 22 diets and 10 periods. The SID of CP and AA were calculated for each source of DDGS. The SID of CP ranged from 69.8% to 79.6%, and the SID of Lys ranged from 45.3% to 74.1%. The concentration of SID Lys in the 21 samples of DDGS was highly related to the concentration of analyzed Lys (P < 0.001; r(2) = 0.849) and with the concentration of reactive Lys in the samples (P < 0.001; r(2) = 0.898). In contrast, the concentration of SID Lys in the 21 sources of DDGS was not related to the concentration of CP in the samples (P = 0.558; r(2) = 0.021). However, values for SID Lys were in good agreement with values predicted using a published prediction equation. In conclusion, analyzed Lys in DDGS, but not CP, may be used to predict the concentration of SID Lys in DDGS fed to pigs. However, analysis of furosine in addition to Lys and subsequent calculation of reactive Lys improve the prediction accuracy of digestible Lys concentration in DDGS.

Abstract
Incidence of kidney cancer is on the rise, and a better understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in the cancer invasion and metastasis is required for the development of curative therapeutics. In this study, we report that the proinflammatory cytokine prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induces the malignant SN12C, but not benign HK2 kidney cell invasion. The PGE2 increases SN12C cell invasion through a signal pathway that encompasses EP2 and EP4, Akt, small GTPase RalA and Ral·GTP inactivator RGC2. The results support the idea that targeted interference of EP2/EP4 signal to RalA·GTP may provide benefit to patients diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer.

Abstract
We provide direct experimental evidence which demonstrates that, in the presence of a large spin-orbit coupling, the lifetime, amplitude, group, and phase velocity of the magnons propagating along two opposite (but crystallographically equivalent) directions perpendicular to the magnetization are different. A real time and space representation reveals that magnons with the same energy (eigenfrequency) propagate differently along two opposite directions. Our findings can inspire ideas for designing new spintronic devices.

Abstract
Biomaterials that can drive stem cells to an appropriate differentiation level and decrease apoptosis of transplanted cells are needed in regenerative medicine. Nanomaterials are promising novel materials for such applications. Here we reported that carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT 1) promotes myogenic differentiation of mouse myoblast cells and inhibits cell apoptosis under the differentiation conditions by regulating basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors. MWCNT 1 attenuates bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR) signaling activity by binding to BMPR2 and attenuating the phosphorylation of BMPR1. This molecular understanding allowed us to tune stem cell differentiation to various levels by chemical modifications, demonstrating human control of biological activities of nanoparticles and opening an avenue for potential applications of nanomaterials in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The p53 tumor suppressor has been pursued as a cancer therapeutic target based on its ability to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Reactivation of p53 in the approximately 50% of tumors that retain a functional p53 has served as potential approach in the development of cancer drug therapy. Mdm2 is a major negative regulator of p53 and has long been thought to inhibit p53 in two ways: through ubiquitination of p53, signaling for its degradation by the proteasome, and through directly binding to p53, masking its transactivation domain. Research on Mdm2 E3 function and regulation has important implications for the feasibility of targeting Mdm2 in cancer treatment. By targeting Mdm2 in cancers, especially those harboring wild-type p53, it may be possible to restore p53 function to control tumor growth. Several inhibitors for Mdm2 have been developed and have shown promise in restoring p53 function. This review will summarize the current progress of targeting Mdm2 in cancer treatment with a focus on regulating Mdm2 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity via a number of small Mdm2 binding proteins and the post-translational modification of Mdm2 itself. The potential of inhibitors of Mdm2 E3 ligase as a new novel class of anticancer drugs will also be discussed.

Recent in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies have suggested that the Oriental herbal compound penta-1, 2, 3, 4, 6-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (PGG) is a promising chemopreventive agent for prostate cancer. Little is known of its safety for chronic chemoprevention use and virtually nothing is known of its in vivo responsive proteins in the target organ. Here we treated male C57BL/6 mice with daily oral administration of PGG at two dosages (1 and 2 mg per mouse) from 7 to 14 weeks of age and profiled proteomic patterns in the prostate with iTRAQ labeling and 2D LC-MS/MS analyses. While neither dose affected feed intake and body weight gain, the 2 mg dose (∼80-100 mg per kg) led to a minor but statistically significant decrease of the weight of prostate and thymus. For proteomic profiling, five prostates were pooled from each group for protein extraction. Proteins were denatured, reduced, alkylated and digested to peptides. The peptides were labeled with iTRAQ reagents, mixed and subjected to 2D LC-MS/MS analyses. PGG consumption suppressed the abundance of oncoproteins (e.g., fatty acid synthase, clusterin) and up-regulated that of tumor suppressor proteins (e.g., glutathione S-transferase M), signifying changes that may contribute to prostate cancer risk reduction.

Differential branching fraction and angular analysis of the decay B0 → K*0 μ+ μ-. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2012; 108:181806. [PMID: 22681061 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.108.181806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2011] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
The angular distributions and the partial branching fraction of the decay B0 → K*0 μ+ μ- are studied by using an integrated luminosity of 0.37 fb(-1) of data collected with the LHCb detector. The forward-backward asymmetry of the muons, A(FB), the fraction of longitudinal polarization, F(L), and the partial branching fraction dB/dq2 are determined as a function of the dimuon invariant mass. The measurements are in good agreement with the standard model predictions and are the most precise to date. In the dimuon invariant mass squared range 1.00-6.00 GeV2/c4, the results are A(FB)=-0.06(-0.14)(+0.13)±0.04, F(L)=0.55±0.10±0.03, and dB/dq2=(0.42±0.06±0.03)×10(-7) c4/GeV2. In each case, the first error is statistical and the second systematic.

Abstract
The decays J/ψ → γ π+ π- π0 and J/ψ → γ π0 π0 π0 are analyzed using a sample of 225×10(6) J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector. The decay of η(1405) → f(0)(980)π0 with a large isospin violation is observed for the first time. The width of the f(0)(980) observed in the dipion mass spectra is anomalously narrower than the world average. Decay rates for three-pion decays of the η' are also measured precisely.
