Abstract
Abstract
Background: Aggressive breast tumors are a clinically challenge to manage. A VEGF-signature (VEGF-s) developed in vivo (Hu et al. BMC Med. 09) and the profile of the anti-apoptotic gene and regulator of tumor angiogenesis, CRYAB (Moyano et al. J Clin Invest 06; Dimberg et al. Blood 08), are both associated with distant metastasis. In this study, we sought to test if these two mechanistically related biomarkers predict pathological complete response(pCR) to anthracyline/taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Methods: Gene expression data of pre-treatment fresh frozen tumors were combined, 149 from the ISPY trial (Agilent 44K) and 225 from MD Anderson Cancer Center(MDACC) (Affymetrix HG U133A). Patients from I-SPY were treated with doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide followed by a taxane. Patients from MDACC were treated with paclitaxel followed by sequential fluorouracil-AC. Tumors were classified into intrinsic subtypes using PAM50(Parker et al. J Clin Oncol 09) and Claudin-low(CL) predictor(Prat et al., Submitted). Odds ratios of biomarkers to pCR were determined using logistic regression. Predictive values of multivariable models were estimated using receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: 319 patients had complete data; the pCR rate was similar between the datasets (ISPY 22%, MDACC 20%). Both the VEGF-s and CRYAB were highly expressed within Basal-like(BL) and CL (P<0.0001); these two biomarkers were positively correlated with each other (r: 0.4, P<0.001). In univariate analysis, both VEGF-s (P<0.001) and CRYAB (P<0.001) were significantly associated with pCR. A multivariable test including tumor size, grade, ER, Her2, intrinsic subtypes, VEGF-s and CRYAB, had an AUC value of 0.86 to predict pCR(Table 1). T stage, Her2, intrinsic subtypes and CRYABwere significant.
82 patients with triple-negative tumors within this combined cohort. In univariate analysis, T stage, grade or classifying tumors into BL vs not did not predict pCR; but VEGF-s (p= 0.04) and CRYAB (p = 0.02) were associated with pCR. Multivariable model, including VEGF-s, CRYAB and the clinical variables, had a predictive value of 0.71 to pCR(Table 1), which identified CRYAB as the most significant factor by likelihood ratio test.
Table 1: Multivariable logistic regression models to predict pCR.
Conclusion: VEGF-s and CRYAB expression are associated with aggressive subtypes and may possibly help to predict response of anthracycline/taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy beyond ER, Her2, and intrinsic subtypes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The feasibility of a practical solid-state technology for low photon flux imaging applications was investigated. The technology is based on an amorphous selenium photoreceptor with a voltage-controlled avalanche multiplication gain. If this photoreceptor can provide sufficient internal gain, it will be useful for an extensive range of diagnostic imaging systems. METHODS The avalanche photoreceptor under investigation is referred to as HARP-DRL. This is a novel concept in which a high-gain avalanche rushing photoconductor (HARP) is integrated with a distributed resistance layer (DRL) and sandwiched between two electrodes. The avalanche gain and leakage current characteristics of this photoreceptor were measured. RESULTS HARP-DRL has been found to sustain very high electric field strengths without electrical breakdown. It has shown avalanche multiplication gains as high as 10(4) and a very low leakage current (< or = 20 pA/mm2). CONCLUSIONS This is the first experimental demonstration of a solid-state amorphous photoreceptor which provides sufficient internal avalanche gain for photon counting and photon starved imaging applications.

Abstract
Radiation-induced brain injury remains a major cause of morbidity in cancer patients with primary or metastatic brain tumors. Approximately 200,000 individuals/year are treated with fractionated partial or whole-brain irradiation, and > half will survive long enough (≤6 months) to develop radiation-induced brain injury, including cognitive impairment. Although short-term treatments have shown efficacy, no long-term treatments or preventive approaches are presently available for modulating radiation-induced brain injury. Based on previous preclinical studies clearly demonstrating that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers can modulate radiation-induced late effects in the kidney and lung, we and others hypothesized that RAS blockade would similarly modulate radiation-induced brain injury. Indeed, studies in the last 5 years have shown that both angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists (AT(1)RAs) can prevent/ameliorate radiation-induced brain injury, including cognitive impairment, in the rat. The mechanistic basis for this RAS blocker-mediated effect remains the subject of ongoing investigations. Putative mechanisms include, i] blockade of Ang II/NADPH oxidase-mediated oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, and ii] a change in the balance of angiotensin (Ang) peptides from the pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative Ang II to the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative Ang-1-7). However, given that both ACEIs and AT(1)RAs are 1] well-tolerated drugs routinely prescribed for hypertension, 2] exhibit some antitumor properties, and 3] can prevent/ameliorate radiation-induced brain injury, they appear to be ideal drugs for future clinical trials, offering the promise of improving the quality of life of brain tumor patients receiving brain irradiation.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate whether human fetal hepatocytes are amenable to simian virus 40 large T-antigen (SV40Tag) mediated immortalization and whether the immortalized cells rescue mice with acute liver failure induced by 90% hepatectomy. METHODS We constructed a retroviral vector expressing a thermolabile mutant SV40Tag for transfer into primary human fetal hepatocytes. We quantitatively detected the synthetic ability for albumin and urea by the immortalized cells, which were subcutaneously inoculated into mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) to evaluate tumorigenzcity. The immortalized cells were also transplanted into the spleens of mice with acute liver failure. RESULTS One clone resulting after selection, referred to as HepCL, was highly differentiated, growing steadily in a chemically defined serum-free medium. HepCL cells were positive for albumin, cytokeratin 18, and cytokeratin 19 immunocytochemical staining. The average synthetic efficacies of HepCL cells for albumin and urea were comparable to that of unmodified primary human fetal hepatocytes. The population doubling time of HepCL cells in the logarithmic growth phase was approximately 17 hours. HepCL cells showed no oncogenicity in immunodeficient mice at 16 months. Mice receiving HepCL cells (G1) and primary human fetal hepatocytes (G2) showed significantly lower blood ammonia levels after 90% hepatectomy. Pairwise comparisons between the 4 groups showed that xenotransplantation of HepCL (G1) or primary fetal hepatocytes (G2) significantly improved survivals of recipient mice. CONCLUSIONS HepCL may be useful as a source of hepatic function for cell-based therapeutics in acute liver failure.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of diphenhydramine (DPH), a H(1) receptor antagonist, on taurocholate-induced acute pancreatitis and the underlying mechanisms involved. Rats were randomly divided into sham-operated, model, DPH-treated, octreotide-treated and the DPH plus octreotide combination therapy groups (n = 30 per group). Animals were sacrificed 3, 6 and 24 h after modeling and drug administration (n = 10 per time point) and sera, pancreas and lungs were harvested for further studies. DPH and octreotide monotherapy relieved histopathological injuries in multiple organs when compared to the model group. Combination therapy (DPH + octreotide) demonstrated better therapeutic potential than monotherapy. Data indicated that combination therapy had a better ability to reduce average mortality rates in rats, decrease the number of inflammatory cells, attenuate necrosis, upregulate the levels of amylase, TNF-alpha and IL-8 and downregulate the levels of IL-10 in the serum. Moreover, enhanced expression of Bax in the pancreas and lung were recorded suggesting a pro-apoptotic mechanism involved in the therapeutic potential of DPH. Our study demonstrated the therapeutic potential of DPH in acute pancreatitis and suggested a novel strategy for clinical management of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and evaluate an applicable model for a community health service (CHS) in an underdeveloped area of China that ensures efficient, convenient and affordable primary healthcare access for all residents. STUDY DESIGN The current study was carried out in Puyang, a typical medium-sized city in central-eastern China. Based on the healthcare requirements of the residents in Puyang, a CHS network was set up and its operation was evaluated from 1999 to 2006. The system is characterized by its focus on community health education (CHE). METHODS Firstly, 8231 residents, selected at random, were surveyed to investigate the healthcare requirements of the local residents. Meanwhile, the operation of the pre-existing healthcare resources was investigated in Puyang. Based on the information gained, a network-based CHS system was proposed and established, with CHE as the major focus. This study compared CHS operation prior to and after establishment of the network. Finally, an analytic hierarchy process based evaluation model was applied to evaluate the operation of the CHS network. RESULTS There was a high prevalence (86.98 per thousand) of chronic diseases among the residents who participated in this investigation. The majority (84.39%) of the residents who had healthcare requirements resorted to professional health care; the other residents did not have access to health services. Among those residents who sought professional treatment, 71.3% visited primary healthcare institutions. This information reflects the enormous requirement for a CHS in primary health care but the lack of accessibility among the residents; this motivated the authors to establish a system to solve the problem. The improvement in CHS operation after the network was established suggests the importance of a network for optimizing the primary healthcare system. The improvement was indicated by better understanding of the residents regarding the CHS, and enhanced capability of self-monitoring for chronic diseases such as hypertension after the network was established. Moreover, the residents' knowledge of health care was significantly increased and, accordingly, the incidence of health risk behaviour was reduced after the network was established. Furthermore, the CHE index between 1999 and 2006 showed good correlation (r=0.988, p<0.005) with the CHS index, suggesting the important role of CHE in CHS development. CONCLUSIONS A network-characterized CHS system was established in Puyang, and improved the primary healthcare situation. This study provides a feasible model for the development of a CHS in medium and small cities in underdeveloped parts of China.

Abstract
We describe a novel method and setup for quantitative online analysis of the liquid-phase methanol oxidation products in acidic aqueous solutions by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). This includes a specially designed flow system, which allows continuous online mixing, derivatization, extraction, separation, and quantitative detection within ca. 3 min. For electrospray ionization of formaldehyde, it is first online-derivatized by 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine to form the easily ionizable 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazone. Then, both formic acid and derivatized formaldehyde are online extracted into an immiscible organic phase, which, after separation from the aqueous phase, is piped to the ESI-MS for analysis. This strategy ensures complete removal of the highly corrosive sulfuric acid from the analyte and allows the liquid-phase methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) products (formaldehyde and formic acid) to be quantitatively detected by ESI-MS. Finally, the potential of this method for online analysis in electroanalysis and electrocatalysis is discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE T-cell-specific T-box transcription factor (T-bet) is a member of the T-box family of transcription factors regulating type 1 T-helper (Th1) cell development and is thought to be linked with several autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether T-bet gene (TBX21) polymorphisms or its haplotypes are associated with SLE in a Chinese population. METHODS The study included 248 cases with SLE and 261 gender- and age-matched healthy controls. The polymorphisms T-1993C (rs4794067) and T-1514C (rs17250932) in the TBX21 promoter were identified by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. RESULTS The frequency of both the -1993T and the -1514T allele were significantly higher in SLE patients than in controls. By haplotype analysis, there was significantly decreased frequency of the haplotype at positions -1993C/-1514C in the case group compared with the control group (p = 0.0002). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that individuals with CC/CC haplotype homozygotes had a decreased susceptibility to SLE [p = 0.0004, odds ratio (OR) 0.316, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.167-0.599]. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the -1993C/-1514C haplotype may be a protective factor for genetic susceptibility to SLE in the Chinese population.
