Abstract
564 Background: With the increasing use of screening mammography, the proportion of ≤ 1 cm invasive breast cancer is increasing. Identification of breast cancer molecular subtypes has resulted in a better appreciation of the biologic heterogeneity, which is not fully explained by clinicopathologic features including staging system. The aims of this study were: 1) to identify the risk factors of systemic metastases in patients with ≤ 1 cm invasive breast cancer and 2) to investigate the patients group at greatest risk of such failure even in these small tumors. Method: Data were collected retrospectively in the breast cancer registry of our institution for patients with invasive breast cancer from October 1994 to December 2004. Results: Of 4,036 patients who received curative breast cancer surgery, 466 patients who had T1a or T1b breast cancer were identified. 39 patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy were excluded in this study. Ipsilateral axillary lymph node involvement was found in 13% (57/427) at the time of surgery. Axillary lymph node involvement was much more common in HER-2 positive group (33% vs 11%, p < 0.0001) and triple negative (TN) group (24% vs 11%, p = 0.002) than in hormone receptor positive group. During median 61 months of follow-up, overall 10 year estimated distant relapse-free survival (DRFS) and overall survival (OS) were 95% and 92%, respectively. Multivariate analysis was conducted in 370 (T1aN0, T1bN0) patients, who had no lymph node involvement. In Cox-regression model, HER-2 positivity and triple negativity were identified as independent prognostic factors to predict DRFS [Hazard ratio (HR) 8.8, p = 0.003 for HER-2 positive group; HR 5.1, p = 0.026 for TN group] and OS (HR 5.0, p = 0.067 for HER-2 positive group; HR 11.1, p = 0.017 for TN group) in T1bN0 tumors. Limiting to T1aN0 tumors, statistical significance was not maintained. Conclusions: Even though T1aN0 and T1bN0 tumors have been known to have a relative low risk of systemic failure, anti-HER-2 directed therapy for HER-2 positive group and new innovative adjuvant systemic treatment for TN group in patients with T1bN0 tumor should be considered. Prospective adjuvant trials should be warranted in these subgroups of patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract #2064
Background: EGF is a cytokine associated with cell proliferation, migration, and tumor invasion through EGFR activation in various cancer cells. EGFR activates its downstream molecules such as protein kinase C-δ, ERK, PI3-kinase, STAT-3. It has been shown that EGFR induces matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), leading to invasion and migration of cancer cells. However, it has not been fully elucidated the roles of STAT-1 and STAT-3 in breast cancer cells. We investigated the regulatory mechanism of STAT-1 and STAT-3 on EGF-induced MMP-9 activity in SKBR3 cells.
 Material and Methods: EGF-induced MMP-9 activity regarding to ERK, JNK, PI-3 kinase and STAT-3 were evaluated by Western blot. Then, we transfected SKBR-3 cells with adenoviral vectors containing STAT-1 and STAT-3 to make SKBR-3 cells overexpressing each gene. We also treated SKBR-3 cells with STAT-3 siRNA. Overexpression and silencing of genes were identified with Western blot. With the treatment of EGF, MMP-9 activity was measured with gelatinase Zymography.
 Results: We confirmed that EGF increases MMP-9 activity and induces the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, PI-3 kinase and STAT-3 in dose-dependent manner. We found that EGF-induced MMP-9 activity was significantly decreased by MEK1/2 inhibitor, UO126, and PI3-kinase inhibitor, LY294002, respectively, but not by JNK inhibitor, SP600125. In contrast to previous study, EGF-induced MMP-9 activity was inhibited by STAT-3 overexpression. We also found that it was increased by STAT-3 siRNA transfection. Moreover, we found that STAT-1 and STAT-3 co-overexpression synergistically decreased EGF-induced MMP-9 activity in STAT-1 and STAT-3 co-overexpressing SKBR-3 cells.
 Discussion: We demonstrated that EGF-induced STAT-3 activation suppresses tumor invasion through down-regulation of MMP-9 in SKBR-3 cells. Moreover, we found that there is a synergistic relationship between STAT-1 and STAT-3, inhibiting EGF-induced MMP-9 activity.

Abstract #4019
Purpose
 To estimate the usefulness of PET scan to assess the response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, PET scan results were compared with conventional imaging modalities(US and MRI).
 Patients and Methods
 Fourty-one patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy between December 2004 and March 2008 were included. PET scan was performed before and after chemotherapy. Pathologic results were classified into two groups; pathological complete response(pCR) and non-pCR. Clinical responses were assessed with the results of imaging modalities such as post-chemotherapy size or pSUV(postTx), size difference between treatment(delta) and reduction rate(RR) of size or pSUV, and they are compared with postoperative pathologic results.
 Results
 7 out of 41 patients (17.1%) had pCR. The results of US shows that postTx size (1.7±1.5cm) of pCR was not dfferent from those of non-pCR (3.6±3.0cm), and the delta (3.1±1.9cm) and RR (67.7±29.1%) of pCR were higher than those of non-pCR (1.3±1.3cm, 31.0±25.4%), respectively. As a result of MRI, postTx size, delta, RR of pCR was differ from those of non-pCR (1.0±1.7cm vs 2.8±1.7cm p<0.05; 4.5±1.0cm vs 2.3±1.8cm, p<0.05; 88.0±20.8% vs 44.6±24.7%, p<0.01). In PET scan, only postTx pSUV of pCR was differ from that of non-pCR (1.4±1.3 vs 5.3±8.3cm, p<0.05). As a result of receiver operating characteristic curve analyses for the prediction of pathological response of breast cancer, area under curve values (95% confidence interval) of US, MRI, PET for delta were 0.83(0.69∼0.98), 0.91(0.80∼1.01), 0.62(0.38∼0.86), and those of RR were 0.80(0.60∼0.99), 0.90(0.77∼1.02), 0.72(0.47∼0.96), respectively
 Conclusions
 We suggest that MRI is useful method to evaluate the response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Although PET scan shows less effective for evaluating the response of chemotherapy than MRI, PET scan with the ability to detect the distant metastatic lesions may be helpful to decide the proper management plans for advanced breast cancer.

Abstract
We introduce a novel telescope consisting of a pinhole-like camera with rotatable MEMS micromirrors substituting for pinholes. The design is ideal for observations of transient luminous phenomena or fast-moving objects, such as upper atmospheric lightning and bright gamma ray bursts. The advantage of the MEMS "obscura telescope" over conventional cameras is that it is capable both of searching for events over a wide field of view, and fast zooming to allow detailed investigation of the structure of events. It is also able to track the triggering object to investigate its space-time development, and to center the interesting portion of the image on the photodetector array. We present the proposed system and the test results for the MEMS obscura telescope which has a field of view of 11.3 degrees, sixteen times zoom-in and tracking within 1 ms.

Abstract
Pea starch, which has inherently good gel strength, was used as the source material for manufacturing a biodegradable and bioactive packaging material. Extrudates containing 99% pea starch and 1% lysozyme were produced under various extrusion conditions (high and low shear screw configurations, 30% to 40% moisture contents, 70 to 150 degrees C die temperatures). The physical and mechanical properties of the extrudates were determined through various expansion indices, piece and cell wall solid density, compression, and 3-point bending tests. The expansion of extrudates increased with an increase in die temperature, whereas increasing moisture content had the opposite effect. Extrudate densities decreased as extrusion temperature increased, whereas lower moisture content in the extrudate dough decreased extrudate densities. The elastic modulus and fracture strengths were highly correlated in a power-law fashion to relative density, showing that the mechanical properties of extrudates were dependent on solid density and foam structure. Up to 48% of the initial lysozyme activity was recovered from the extruded pea starch matrix. The lysozyme released from extrudates showed an inhibition zone against Brochotrix thermosphacta B2. Extruded pea starch matrix containing lysozyme has potential application as an edible and biodegradable packaging material with antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
AIn this study, we developed a wearable physiological measurement device (bioshirt). The developed bioshirt can record ECG (lead I, lead II, V1), blood oxygen saturation, 2-axis acceleration, and skin temperature in mobile environment. Sensors are embedded into the bioshirt. It showed noticeable performance in terms of usability and monitoring. Respiration signal is acquired by inductive plethysmograph (IP). However, acquired IP signal is by the upper body movement like arm or abdomen movement. To get correct respiratory signal, we use both IP and EDR (ECG-derived respiration). EDR is used to supplement the IP that is contaminated by some artifact. As result, it provide suitable respiration rate (RR) although IP is contaminated by some noise.

Abstract
Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have studied the distribution of kinematic variables in the decay lambda(+)(c)lambda--> e(+)nu(e). By performing a four-dimensional maximum likelihood fit, we determine the form factor ratio, R= f(2)/f(1) = -0.31 +/- 0.05(stat) +/- 0.04(syst), the pole mass, M(pole) = [2.21 +/- 0.08(stat) +/- 0.14(syst)] GeV/c(2), and the decay asymmetry parameter of the lambda(+)(c), alpha (lambda(c)) = -0.86 +/-0.03(stat) +/- 0.02(syst), for q(2) = 0.67 (GeV/c(2))(2). We compare the angular distributions of the lambda(+)(c) and lambda(-)(c) and find no evidence for CP violation: A(lambda(c)) = (alpha(lambda(c)) + alpha (lambda(c)))/(alpha(lambda(c))-alpha(lambda(c))) = 0.00 +/- 0.03(stat) +/- 0.01(syst) +/- 0.02, where the third error is from the uncertainty in the world average of the CP-violating parameter, A(lambda), for ppi(-).

Abstract
Although Josephson junction qubits show great promise for quantum computing, the origin of dominant decoherence mechanisms remains unknown. Improving the operation of a Josephson junction based phase qubit has revealed microscopic two-level systems or resonators within the tunnel barrier that cause decoherence. We report spectroscopic data that show a level splitting characteristic of coupling between a two-state qubit and a two-level system. Furthermore, we show Rabi oscillations whose "coherence amplitude" is significantly degraded by the presence of these spurious microwave resonators. The discovery of these resonators impacts the future of Josephson qubits as well as existing Josephson technologies.

We present the first study of the vector (Wess-Zumino) current in tau(-)-->K-pi-K+nu(tau) decay using data collected with the CLEO III detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. We determine the quantitative contributions to the decay width from the vector and axial vector currents. Within the framework of a model by Kühn and Mirkes, we identify the quantitative contributions to the total decay rate from the intermediate states omegapi, rho(')pi, and K*K.

Abstract
The CLEO Collaboration has made the first observations of hadronic transitions among bottomonium (bbmacr;) states other than the dipion transitions among Upsilon(nS) states. In our study of Upsilon(3S) decays, we find a significant signal for Upsilon(3S)-->gammaomegaUpsilon(1S) that is consistent with radiative decays Upsilon(3S)-->gammachi(b1,2)(2P), followed by chi(b1,2)(2P)-->omegaUpsilon(1S). The branching ratios we obtain are B[chi(b1)(2P)-->omegaUpsilon(1S)]=(1.63(+0.35+0.16)(-0.31-0.15))% and B[chi(b2)(2P)-->omegaUpsilon(1S)]=(1.10(+0.32+0.11)(-0.28-0.10))%, in which the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.

Abstract
We report on the observation of the eta(')(c)(2(1)S0), the radial excitation of the eta(c)(1(1)S0) ground state of charmonium, in the two-photon fusion reaction gammagamma-->eta(')(c)-->K(0)(S)K+/-pi(-/+) in 13.6 fb(-1) of CLEO II/II.V data and 13.1 fb(-1) of CLEO III data. We obtain M(eta(')(c))=3642.9+/-3.1(stat)+/-1.5(syst) MeV and M(eta(c))=2981.8+/-1.3(stat)+/-1.5(syst) MeV. The corresponding values of hyperfine splittings between 1S0 and 3S1 states are DeltaM(hf)(1S)=115.1+/-2.0 MeV and DeltaM(hf)(2S)=43.1+/-3.4 MeV. Assuming that the eta(c) and eta(')(c) have equal branching fractions to K(S)Kpi, we obtain Gamma(gammagamma)(eta(')(c))=1.3+/-0.6 keV.

Abstract
Two needles were designed in order to revascularize an ischemic myocardium in the event of left coronary artery occlusion. This study was conducted by performing the Lee modified Fox-Montorsi heart-lung transplant on 25 San Diego Microsurgical Institute-bred Sprague Dawley rats that were subjected to left coronary artery ligation in each case. Of these 25 rats, a straight-porous (SP) needling procedure was applied to 9 heterotopically transplanted rat hearts, and a distinct horseshoe (HS)-shaped needle application was performed on the remaining 16 heterotopically transplanted rat hearts. This report represents an acute study on the efficiency of these two needles to transmit oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle into the ischemic myocardium. Doppler readings for male vs. female transplants showed that the control peak (PK) and mean (MN) kHz values are on the average of 0.20 kHz higher in males than in females. However, control heart rate values in both sexes are approximately equal. Ligation of the left coronary artery caused a dramatic decrease of PK and MN kHz values in both sexes, while heart rate showed no significant decrease from the original control values in response to ischemia. Application of the SP needle showed only a slight return of PK and MN values in both sexes, but heart rate values increased to levels higher than the original control values. The HS needling procedure was able to recover approximately 80% of the control PK and MN kHz values in both sexes. Thus, these data indicate that the HS needle can successfully transmit left ventricular blood into the myocardium.

Abstract
We examined the results after implantation of ovarian follicles by various modes in a total of 82 cases. One or five ovarian follicles were implanted into spleens in castrated female rats. In 20 cases among these, each five follicles were implanted into native and transplanted spleens after spleen transplantation (double implantation of the ovary). Through consecutive spleen transplantation, we observed the results beyond the rat's life span for a limited period. In many cases, we found a more aggressive form of malignant tumor, i.e., dysgerminoma. We present the results and discuss the modes of implantations and possible pathogenetic mechanisms of tumor formation.

Abstract
It is well-known that 30% of the remaining liver mass, following partial hepatectomy, regenerates to full original mass within 2 weeks in rats. In order to carry the transplanted rat liver to repeated transplantation, a technique of combining 30% of the liver with the pancreaticoduodenum and spleen transplantation is performed in this consecutive organ transplantation study. Our laboratory observed several 37-month-old transplanted rats by carrying through 2-3 generations, and histological disclosure were made. Because the partial liver transplants did not regenerate after the transplantation with other splanchnic organs, this technique is not so difficult though subsequent surgical maneuvers are needed and the liver histology proved entirely normal in every aspect when followed beyond the rat's life span of 24 months.
