Abstract
BACKGROUND African American men have the highest rates of prostate cancer worldwide, and immunogenetic studies suggest that people of African descent have increased susceptibility to diseases of inflammation. Since genetic susceptibility is an etiological factor in prostate cancer, we hypothesize that sequence variants in the promoter region of the CD14 gene that regulate inflammation may modify individual susceptibility to this disease. METHODS The CD14 promoter was screened for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using dHPLC. One variant, -260 C>T (rs2569190), was genotyped via restriction digest in all study participants (264 cases and 188 controls). The association of disease status and the polymorphism was analyzed by unconditional logistic regression. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated, stratifying by ethnicity and adjusting for age. Two-sided P-values of < or =0.05 were considered as statistically significant. RESULTS Eleven variants (four novel) were identified in the promoter region of CD14. A marginal association between the C genotypes (C/C + C/T) and prostate cancer was found (P = 0.07). When stratified by age, among men > or =55 years of age, the C genotypes were significantly associated with prostate cancer (P < 0.05). When stratified by self-reported ethnicity, African American males who had the C genotypes were at a higher risk for prostate cancer (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to show an association between the C genotypes of the CD14 (-260) variant and prostate cancer which supports the hypothesis that genetic variation in the inflammatory process can contribute to prostate cancer susceptibility in African American men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low birth weight, an indicator of intrauterine growth restriction, is associated with adult cardiovascular (CV) disease, type 2 diabetes, and adverse levels of CV risk factors. Impaired pulsatile arterial function is also an independent predictor of early vascular damage and related CV outcome. However, information is scant regarding the influence of low birth weight on pulsatile arterial function. METHODS The study cohort consisted of 538 black and white subjects (29% black, 42% male) aged 18-44 years (mean 36.7 years) enrolled in the Bogalusa Heart Study. Subjects were categorized into low birth weight and normal birth weight. Pulsatile arterial function was assessed in terms of large artery compliance, small artery compliance, and systemic vascular resistance by noninvasive radial artery pressure pulse contour analysis. RESULTS Blacks and females had significantly lower birth weight compared to their counterparts. Low vs. normal birth weight group had lower large artery compliance (13.3 ml/mm Hg x 10 vs. 15.5 ml/mm Hg x 10, P = 0.0002). Further, after adjusting for age, race, and sex, the large artery compliance increased across quartiles of increasing birth weight specific for race, sex, and gestational age (P for trend = 0.03). In multivariate regression model, adding race, sex, age, body surface area, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio one by one, the effect was attenuated but significant (beta = -0.067, P = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS The observed deleterious association of low birth weight on arterial wall dynamics in asymptomatic younger adults may account in part for the adverse CV risk in the Bogalusa sample.

Abstract
The function of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in primary afferents remains controversial, in particular regarding their ability to evoke substance P release in the spinal cord. The objective of this study was, first, to confirm that substance P release evoked by NMDA is mediated by NMDA receptors in primary afferent terminals. Second, we investigated whether these NMDA receptors are inactivated in some conditions, which would explain why their effect on substance P release was not observed in some studies. Substance P release was induced in spinal cord slices and measured as neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor internalization in lamina I neurons. NMDA (combined with d-serine) induced NK1 receptor internalization with a half of the effective concentration (EC50) of 258 nM. NMDA-induced NK1 receptor internalization was abolished by the NK1 receptor antagonist L-703,606, confirming that is was caused by substance P release, by NMDA receptor antagonists (MK1801 and ifenprodil), showing that it was mediated by NMDA receptors containing the NR2B subunit, and by preincubating the slices with capsaicin, showing that the substance P release was from primary afferents. However, it was not affected by lidocaine and omega-conotoxin MVIIA, which block Na+ channels and voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, respectively. Therefore, NMDA-induced substance P release does not require firing of primary afferents or the opening of Ca2+ channels, which is consistent with the idea that NMDA receptors induce substance P directly by letting Ca2+ into primary afferent terminals. Importantly, NMDA-induced substance P release was eliminated by preincubating the slices for 1 h with the Src family kinase inhibitors PP1 and dasatinib, and was substantially increased by the protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor BVT948. In contrast, PP1 did not affect NK1 receptor internalization induced by capsaicin. These results show that tyrosine-phosphorylation of these NMDA receptors is regulated by the opposite actions of Src family kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases, and is required to induce substance P release.

Abstract
The crystal structure, stability, elastic constants and electronic properties of PdN(2) for four polymorph structures: pyrite, marcasite, CoSb(2) and ST(AA), have been investigated using first-principles calculations. At zero pressure all four polymorphs are metallic and thermodynamically unstable but mechanically stable. Pyrite PdN(2) is found to be the lowest energy phase. It is metallic at ambient pressure but becomes a semiconductor at pressures higher than 18 GPa. The calculated phonon band structures of pyrite PdN(2) show the structure is dynamically stable up to 60 GPa. Good agreement between calculated and observed Raman frequencies was found, indicating that the recently synthesized palladium nitride at high pressure is likely to have a pyrite structure.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease, in which sunlight (especially ultraviolet B (UVB) 290-320 nm) is known to induce exacerbation of disease. DNA methylation regulates gene expression, and hypomethylation is associated with abnormal cell function in SLE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of UVB on DNA methylation in SLE and its significance in the pathogenesis of SLE. Forty-five patients with SLE and 20 healthy controls were enrolled in the study, which involved the investigation of DNA methylation and DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with UVB irradiation. Our results demonstrate the following: The level of DNA methylation in patients with SLE was lower than that in the control group. DNA methylation was decreased after UVB irradiation at different dosages especially in patients with marlar rashes and leucopenia, but no significant difference was observed in the DNMT1 mRNA expression. DNA methylation levels in patients with active SLE were more sensitive to UVB. In conclusion, UVB exposure is able to inhibit DNA methylation, which subsequently takes part in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Abstract
Genome wide methylation profiling of gliomas is likely to provide important clues to improving treatment outcomes. Restriction enzyme based approaches have been widely utilized for methylation profiling of cancer genomes and will continue to have importance in combination with higher density microarrays. With the availability of the human genome sequence and microarray probe sequences, these approaches can be readily characterized and optimized via in silico modeling. We adapted the previously described HpaII/MspI based Methylation Sensitive Restriction Enzyme (MSRE) assay for use with two-color Agilent 244K CpG island microarrays. In this assay, fragmented genomic DNA is digested in separate reactions with isoschizomeric HpaII (methylation-sensitive) and MspI (methylation-insensitive) restriction enzymes. Using in silico hybridization, we found that genomic fragmentation with BfaI was superior to MseI, providing a maximum effective coverage of 22,362 CpG islands in the human genome. In addition, we confirmed the presence of an internal control group of fragments lacking HpaII/MspI sites which enable separation of methylated and unmethylated fragments. We used this method on genomic DNA isolated from normal brain, U87MG cells, and a glioblastoma patient tumor sample and confirmed selected differentially methylated CpG islands using bisulfite sequencing. Along with additional validation points, we performed a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis to determine the optimal threshold (p ≤ 0.001). Based on this threshold, we identified ∼2,400 CpG islands common to all three samples and 145 CpG islands unique to glioblastoma. These data provide general guidance to individuals seeking to maximize effective coverage using restriction enzyme based methylation profiling approaches.

Abstract
A hybrid system has been developed for biological nitrogen removal through nitrification-denitrification. The system includes an aerobic tank and an anoxic tank with an intermediate sludge settler connected to a membrane bioreactor (MBR) with a submerged 0.4 microm hollow-fiber membrane module. The laboratory system has a total working volume of 6.5 L treating a glucose-based synthetic wastewater. The experimental results demonstrate that the new process is highly effective for simultaneous organic and nitrogen removal. During the stationary operation, a sludge SS (suspended solids) concentration of 6 g/L or higher can be maintained in the reactors. The system has a COD (chemical oxygen demand) loading rate of up to 2,100 mg/L-d and a total nitrogen loading rate of up to 170 mg N/L-d. More than 95% COD can be degraded, and the total nitrogen removal efficiency can be 90% or higher as the nitrogen is reduced from 100 to around 7.5 mg/L. A high quality effluent is produced with a SS of less than 1 mg/L. With the MBR, organic degradation, nitrogen removal and sludge-liquid separation can be well achieved within a short HRT of about 10 hr.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the safety and radiation-enhancing effect of sodium glycididazole in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (stage T3-4,N0-3,M0) with conventional radiotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with locoregional advanced laryngeal cancer (stage T3-4,N0-3,M0) were included: group 1(control, n=30)were not administered of sodium glycididazole; group 2 (test, n=30) received sodium glycididazole at a dose of 700 mg/m(2) intravenous infusion 30 minutes before radiotherapy three times a week. Surrogate end-points of efficacy were tumor and nodal size. Safety parameters were vomiting, nausea, mucositis, laryngeal edema, esophagus and skin reaction, dysphagia, dyspnea, neurological deficit. Patients were evaluated weekly during treatment for 7 weeks and thereafter monthly for 3 months. RESULTS In the test, the overall response rate was 88.89% (95%CI, 71.00-97.00%) at 7 weeks and 92.59% (95%CI, 76.00 to 99.00%) at 1 month of follow-up. In the control, the overall response rate was 62.5% (95%CI, 41.00 to 81.00%) at 7 weeks and 58.33% (95%CI, 37.00 to 78.00%) at 1 month of follow-up. The short-term locoregional response rate was better in the test group at 7 weeks (p=0.027) and at 1 month (p=0.005) of follow-up. The test group had significantly more nausea and vomiting in weeks 1 (p=0.047), 2 (p=0.007), and 3 (p=0.01) of treatment. CONCLUSIONS The study indicates sodium glycididazole is an effective radiation-enhancing agent that improves short-term locoregional control and is well tolerated in patients with locoregionally advanced laryngeal cancer.

Abstract
The authors have combined corrosion of steel fittings or perforated sheets with granular activated carbon (GAC) that had been pre-treated with Fe(III)-citrate, to produce an innovative and low-maintenance technique for removing arsenic from groundwater. Removal of arsenic was measured using two GAC column configurations: rapid small scale column tests (RSSCT's) and mini-column tests. Independent variables included pH, pre-corrosion procedure, and idling of the column (i.e. intentionally stopping flow for defined times in order to create reducing conditions). Use of corroded steel plus pre-treated GAC removed arsenic to below 10 microg/L for up to 248,000 bed volumes (BV) at pH 6, compared to 7,000 BVs for pre-treated GAC without pre-corroded steel. Performance was not as good at pH 6.5 or 7.5. Idling the system recovered the iron corrosion ability by reducing the passive Fe(III) layer on pre-corroded steel surface, as a result the BVs to arsenic breakthrough was doubled. But idling also caused brief periods of arsenic and iron release after restart, due to reductive dissolution of arsenic-containing ferric oxides. GAC was also effective as filtration media for removal of iron (hydr)oxide particles (and associated arsenic) that was released from the pre-corroded iron.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a common problem in older patients. Early detection of malnutrition is an important task in clinical practice. The MNA has become an extensively used tool to evaluate nutritional status in European countries and the United States. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) test and the short-form MNA (MNA-SF) test as screening tools for malnutrition in older Chinese inpatients and focused on finding an optimal cutoff point for MNA total score and MNA-SF score. DESIGN One hundred eighty-four older Chinese inpatients were enrolled in this study from July to August 2006. Nutritional assessment included MNA, anthropometric measurements, and biochemical markers. RESULTS According to the original cutoff point of the full MNA, 19.6% of those assessed were malnourished, 53.2% were at risk of malnutrition and 27.2% were well nourished. Correlations were found between MNA, MNA-SF and body mass index, triceps skinfold thickness, serum albumin, lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, lymphocyte ratio. With the most proper cutoff point lower than 19 indicating malnutrition, when using serum albumin (< 35.0 g/L) as the indicator, the sensitivity and specificity of the MNA total score were 0.6286 and 0.7466; when using BMI (< 18.5 kg/m2) as the indicator, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.8636 and 0.7469. The incidence rate of malnutrition was 32.6%. The most proper cutoff point of MNA-SF was lower than 12. CONCLUSION The MNA and MNA-SF were useful tools to identify older Chinese inpatients with malnutrition. However, the cutoff point of the MNA should be modulated for this population.
