Abstract
This study was undertaken to investigate whether levels of anti- Saccharomyces cerevisiae mannan antibodies (ASCMAs), a serological marker for Crohn’s disease, seronegative spondyloarthritis and Behcet’s disease, also correlate with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in humans. Serum samples from healthy volunteers ( n = 152) and patients with SLE ( n = 40) were compared for ASCMA-IgA, -IgG and -IgM levels using enzyme linked immunosorbent assays. ASCMA-IgG, but not IgM and IgA, prevalence was significantly raised in active SLE patients (57.5%) compared with healthy controls (8.5%). ASCMA-IgG levels in SLE patients during remission were relatively lower, indicating a possible correlation with disease activity. These results differ from a previous study, which did not detect a difference between ASCMA levels in SLE patients and healthy control. It remains to be evaluated whether elevated ASCMA-levels are common to all rheumatic disorders.

Abstract
The transport properties of Cu(x)NbS(2) (x = 0.09, 0.44 and 0.55) single crystals were systematically studied. The in-plane and out-of-plane resistivities decrease with increasing Cu content, and a transition with hysteresis shows up for the crystals with x = 0.44 and 0.55. The thermopower and Hall coefficient of Cu(x)NbS(2) show opposite signs, indicating that there are two kinds of carriers in this system. The angular dependences of the in-plane magnetoresistance (MR(ab) = (ρ(ab)(H)-ρ(ab)(0))/ρ(ab)(0) × 100%) at different temperatures were also studied. The single crystals with x = 0.44 and 0.55 show a strong anisotropic MR(ab). For the x = 0.55 sample, MR(ab) reaches 80% with a magnetic field of 14 T applied along the c-axis, while MR(ab) is less than 5% for the magnetic field applied within the ab-plane. These results can be well understood in the light of the anisotropic Fermi surface in the multiband system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Emerging evidence suggests that highly treatment-resistant tumour-initiating cells (TICs) play a central role in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer. Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is considered to be a novel anticancer agent; however, recent studies have shown that many pancreatic cancer cells are resistant to apoptosis induction by TRAIL due to TRAIL-activated nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signalling. Several chemopreventive agents are able to inhibit NF-kappaB, and favourable results have been obtained--for example, for the broccoli compound sulforaphane-in preventing metastasis in clinical studies. The aim of the study was to identify TICs in pancreatic carcinoma for analysis of resistance mechanisms and for definition of sensitising agents. METHODS TICs were defined by expression patterns of a CD44(+)/CD24(-), CD44(+)/CD24(+) or CD44(+)/CD133(+) phenotype and correlation to growth in immunodeficient mice, differentiation grade, clonogenic growth, sphere formation, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity and therapy resistance. RESULTS Mechanistically, specific binding of transcriptionally active cRel-containing NF-kappaB complexes in TICs was observed. Sulforaphane prevented NF-kappaB binding, downregulated apoptosis inhibitors and induced apoptosis, together with prevention of clonogenicity. Gemcitabine, the chemopreventive agents resveratrol and wogonin, and the death ligand TRAIL were less effective. In a xenograft model, sulforaphane strongly blocked tumour growth and angiogenesis, while combination with TRAIL had an additive effect without obvious cytotoxicity in normal cells. Freshly isolated patient tumour cells expressing markers for TICs could be sensitised by sulforaphane for TRAIL-induced cytotoxicity. CONCLUSION The data provide new insights into resistance mechanisms of TICs and suggest the combination of sulforaphane with TRAIL as a promising strategy for targeting of pancreatic TICs.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) is the predominant insulin-like growth factor binding protein in serum of different species. It binds insulin-like growth factors and plays an important role in growth and fat metabolism. The current study was designed to investigate the associations of IGFBP2 gene 3'-flanking region polymorphisms with chicken fatness traits. The random populations (5 distinct populations: Arbor Acres broiler, Hyline Brown layer, Shiqiza, BeijingYou, and Baier), the Northeast Agricultural University broiler lines divergently selected for abdominal fat content (NEAUHLF), and the the Northeast Agricultural University F(2) (NEAU F(2)) resource population were used in the current study. Body weight and body composition traits were measured in NEAUHLF and NEAU F(2) populations. A SNP of 1196C > A in the 3'-flanking region of the IGFBP2 gene was detected, and the PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism method was then used to genotype all of the individuals derived from the above populations. There was a highly significant difference (P < 0.01) in the allele frequency among the 5 distinct populations. The IG-FBP2 polymorphism was significantly associated with abdominal fat weight and percentage of abdominal fat (P < 0.05) in NEAUHLF and NEAU F(2) populations. The research suggests that the IGFBP2 gene could be a candidate locus or linked to a major gene that affects fatness traits in chickens.
