Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Slowly expanding/evolving lesions measured by conventional T1-weighted/T2-weighted brain MR imaging may contribute to progressive disability accumulation in MS. We evaluated the longitudinal change in myelin and axonal tissue integrity in white matter slowly expanding/evolving lesions by means of the magnetization transfer ratio and DTI radial diffusivity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Slowly expanding/evolving lesions were detected within the Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BIIB033 in Participants With Relapsing Forms of Multiple Sclerosis When Used Concurrently With Avonex (SYNERGY) Phase 2 clinical trial dataset (NCT01864148), comprising patients with relapsing-remitting and secondary-progressive MS (n = 299) with T1-weighted/T2-weighted MR imaging at all trial time points (baseline to week 72). RESULTS Compared with non-slowly expanding/evolving lesions (areas not classified as slowly expanding/evolving lesion) of baseline nonenhancing T2 lesions, slowly expanding/evolving lesions had a lower normalized magnetization transfer ratio and greater DTI radial diffusivity, both in patients with relapsing-remitting MS (n = 242) and secondary-progressive MS (n = 57, P < .001 for all). Although the changes with time in both the normalized magnetization transfer ratio and DTI radial diffusivity between slowly expanding/evolving lesions and non-slowly expanding/evolving lesions were positively correlated (P < .001), a decrease in the normalized magnetization transfer ratio and a greater increase in DTI radial diffusivity were observed in slowly expanding/evolving lesions versus non-slowly expanding/evolving lesions from baseline to week 72 in relapsing-remitting MS and secondary-progressive MS (P < .001 for all). CONCLUSIONS Patterns of longitudinal change in the normalized magnetization transfer ratio and DTI radial diffusivity in slowly expanding/evolving lesions were consistent with progressive demyelination and tissue loss, as seen in smoldering white matter MS plaques.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The conventional way of patient treatment should be following guidelines. While in clinical practice, patients received treatments very often away from suggested guideline. In this report, we reviewed glioma patients received real world treatment at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) and results of this patient series.
Methods: Total of 1215 glioma patients received surgery at SYSUCC from 2000 to 2017 were enclosed for analysis. The pathologic diagnosis of patients has followed WHO classification (initially 2007 standard, than 2016 standard).
Results: A total of 1001 newly diagnosed brain glioma patients were analyzed, including 90 cases WHO grade I, 307 grade II, 239 grade III and 365 grade IV. The median age of onset was 14 (1–75), 35 (2–69), 41 (8–82) and 50 (2–86) years old, respectively, for grade I, II, III and IV glioma patients. Tumor total resection was achieved in 567 patients (57.5%). Among all patients, 331 high-grade gliomas (54.8%) and 159 low-grade glioma (40.1%) received radiotherapy, whereas 285 high-grade gliomas (47.1%) and 80 low-grade tumors (20.2%) received chemotherapy. Among high-grade gliomas, the median OS of glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma and anaplastic oligodendroglial tumors were 17.7 months (15.7–19.7 months), 33.7 months (24.0–43.4 months) and 110.6 months (43.5–177.7 months), respectively, whereas the median OS of low-grade gliomas was not reach. The 5-year survival rate of grade I, II, III and IV gliomas was 94.7%, 73.7%, 45.1% and 18.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified that onset age, Karnofsky performance status, tumor location, preoperative seizure, pathological subtype, resection extent and post-surgical treatment were independent predictors of OS for patients with high-grade gliomas. Patients received post-surgical radiotherapy and (or) chemotherapy had better survival than those without adjuvant treatment (grade III: 53.3 vs. 20.6 months, p =0.012; grade IV: 22.9 vs. 12.3 months, p < 0.001). For low-grade gliomas, patients’ age, Ki-67 index, tumor subtype and resection extent were associated with clinical outcomes.
Conclusions: Glioma patients received treatments do not always following guidelines in clinical practice. Although standard care for patients may beneficial for prognosis, personalized treatment may more acceptable for patients and even resulting better outcome which should keep in mind in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to investigate the role of glypican-3(GPC3)/wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and autophagy in the regulation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth mediated by curcumin. METHODS HepG2 cells were treated with various concentrations of curcumin and/or GPC3-targeting siRNA in the presence or absence of 3-MA. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by MTT and TUNEL assay, respectively. Expression of GPC3, β-catenin, c-myc, LC3, and Beclin1 was determined by western blotting. In addition, curcumin was tested in tumor xenografts mice model, Caliper IVIS Lumina II was used to monitor the tumor growth, and GPC3/wnt/β-catenin signaling proteins were determined by western blotting. RESULTS Curcumin treatment led to proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and suppressed HCC tumor growth in vivo. Further analysis showed that curcumin treatment inactivated Wnt/β-catenin signaling and decreased GPC3 expression, silencing of GPC3 expression promoted the effects of curcumin on Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In addition, inhibiting autophagy by 3-MA relieved curcumin-dependent down-regulation of GPC3. CONCLUSION Curcumin suppressed HCC tumor growth through down-regulating GPC3/wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which was partially mediated by activation of autophagy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Exploration of fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of refractory diarrhea after renal transplantation. METHODS Summarize the etiology of 120 cases with diarrhea after renal transplantation from 2014 to 2017 in our hospital. There were 4 recipients of refractory diarrhea who accepted fecal microbiota transplantation with informed consent, and we collected clinical data of stool and bacterial culture, gut microbiota analysis, graft function, electrolytes, immunosuppressant concentrations of prognostic evaluation of patients with fecal transplantation. RESULTS The absorption of electrolyte is slightly higher and concentration of tacrolimus and creatinine were not significantly changed compared with before. CONCLUSION Fecal microbiota transplantation provides a new choice to refractory diarrhea after renal transplantation as an innovative treatment, but the effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation needs long-term observation and further evaluation through large sample data.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the value of the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score in the assessment of the disease conditions of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF), HBV-related liver cirrhosis (HBV-LC) and HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC). A total of 395 patients with HBV-ACLF, HBV-LC, or HBV-HCC were retrospectively studied. The ALBI, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP), and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores of the patients were calculated, and the relationships between the ALBI score and the CTP and MELD scores were investigated. Furthermore, the ALBI grading was tested for the evaluation of the severity and stages of HBV-ACLF, HBV-LC, and HBV-HCC, especially when classifying the clinical stages of HBV-ACLF. The mean ALBI scores of the HBV-ACLF, HBV-LC, and HBV-HCC patients were -1.17±0.55, -1.76±0.66 and -2.59±0.62, respectively; the mean CTP scores were 10.70±1.81, 8.19±1.25 and 5.81±1.22, respectively; and the mean MELD scores were 19.93±7.44, 11.10±4.39 and 7.01±3.22, respectively. The ALBI scores were positively correlated with the CTP and MELD scores. The mean ALBI score and the frequency of grade 3 disease were higher in HBV-ACLF patients than in patients with HBV-LC or HBV-HCC. A later HBV-ACLF stage resulted in a higher frequency of ALBI grades of 3. In conclusion, ALBI scores exhibited parallel tendencies to the CTP and MELD scores in HBV-ACLF, HBV-LC, and HBV-HCC patients; thus, ALBI grading may be a simple but applicable method for the evaluation of the functional status of patients with HBV-related end-stage liver diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of the baseline status of patients with hepatitis B virus-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure on short-term outcomes. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted that included a total of 138 patients with hepatitis B virus-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases, Taihe Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine, from November 2013 to October 2016. The patients were divided into a poor prognosis group (74 patients) and a good prognosis group (64 patients) based on the disease outcome. General information, clinical indicators and prognostic scores of the patients' baseline status were analyzed, and a prediction model was established accordingly. RESULTS Elder age, treatment with artificial liver support systems and the frequency of such treatments, high levels of white blood cells, neutrophils, neutrophil count/lymphocyte count ratio, alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, urea, and prognostic scores as well as low levels of albumin and sodium were all significantly associated with the short-term outcomes of hepatitis B virus-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure. The predictive model showed that logit (p) = 3.068 + 1.003 × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count ratio - 0.892 × gamma-glutamyl transferase - 1.138 × albumin - 1.364 × sodium + 1.651 × artificial liver support therapy. CONCLUSION The neutrophil count/lymphocyte count ratio and serum levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase, albumin and sodium were independent risk factors predicting short-term outcomes of hepatitis B virus-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure, and the administration of multiple treatments with artificial liver support therapy during the early stage is conducive to improved short-term outcomes.

Abstract
The risk of infection with avian influenza viruses for poultry workers is relatively unknown in China, and study results are often biased by the notification of only the severe human cases. Protein microarray was used to detect binding antibodies to 13 different haemagglutinin (HA1-part) antigens of avian influenza A(H5N1), A(H7N7), A(H7N9) and A(H9N2) viruses, in serum samples from poultry workers and healthy blood donors collected in the course of 3 years in Guangdong Province, China. Significantly higher antibody titre levels were detected in poultry workers when compared to blood donors for the most recent H5 and H9 strains tested. These differences were most pronounced in younger age groups for antigens from older strains, but were observed in all age groups for the recent H5 and H9 antigens. For the H7 strains tested, only poultry workers from two retail live poultry markets had significantly higher antibody titres compared to blood donors.

Abstract
The plasma membrane-associated tyrosine phosphatase PTPRO is frequently transcriptionally repressed in cancers and signifies poor prognosis of breast cancer patients. In this study, deletion of Ptpro in MMTV-Erbb2 transgenic mice dramatically shortened the mammary tumor latency and accelerated tumor growth due to loss of Ptpro within the breast cancer cells but not in surrounding tissue as confirmed by hetero-transplantation studies. Both in vitro and in vivo data demonstrated that the phosphatase activity was required for the inactivation of ERBB2 and its downstream signaling. PTPRO regulated the phosphorylation status of ERBB2 at Y1248. Co-immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assay (Duolink) indicated that PTPRO directly physically interacted with ERBB2. Moreover, PTPRO phosphatase activity shortened the half-life of ERBB2 by increasing endocytotic degradation. PTPRO reexpression by demethylation treatment using 5-azacytidine reduced the proliferation and colony formation potential in ERBB2-positive breast cancer cells. Taken together, PTPRO inhibited ERBB2-driven breast cancer through dephosphorylation leading to dual effects of ERBB2 signaling suppression and endosomal internalization of ERBB2, Therefore, reexpression of PTPRO may be a potential therapy for ERBB2-overexpressing breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have revealed that resistin plays a role as an intrahepatic cytokine with proinflammatory activities. This study investigated the association between serum resistin and fibrosis severity and the possible marker role of resistin in the inflammatory process of chronic hepatitis B. METHODS In this study, 234 subjects with HBV infection were retrospectively selected, including 85 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 70 patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC-B), and 79 patients with HBV-related liver failure (LF-B). Serum levels of resistin, IL-1, IL-6, IL-17, IL-23, TNF-α, and TGF-β1 were assayed by ELISA. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were extracted from clinical databases of Taihe Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine, including serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), and liver stiffness (LS). RESULTS All the selected patients with HBV infection showed significantly increased levels of serum resistin, which was rarely detectable in the healthy controls. Serum resistin levels in patients with CHB, LC-B, and LF-B were 4.119 ± 5.848 ng/mL, 6.370 ± 6.834 ng/mL, and 6.512 ± 6.076 ng/mL, respectively. Compared with the CHB group, patients with LC-B or LF-B presented with significantly higher serum levels of resistin (p < 0.01). On the other hand, all of the enrolled patients had high serum levels of IL-1, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α, and TGF-β1, but not IL-23. Interestingly, serum levels of resistin was significantly positively correlated with serum levels of TGF-β1 in LC-B patients (R = 0.3090, p = 0.0290), with IL-17 in LC-B (R = 0.4022, p = 0.0038) and LF-B patients (R = 0.5466, p < 0.0001), and with AST (R = 0.4501, p = 0.0036) and LS (R = 0.3415, p = 0.0310) in CHB patients. CONCLUSIONS High serum resistin associates with intrahepatic inflammation and necrosis and may be used as an index of disease severity for patients with chronic HBV infection.

Abstract
AIMS Rates of diabetes mellitus in the young have not been quantified on a population level, particularly in South Asian and Chinese populations, which bear high rates of diabetes. We determined the incidence of diabetes (Type 2 diabetes and diabetes using insulin only) and rates of hospitalizations among South Asian, Chinese and White people aged 5-29 years with newly diagnosed diabetes. METHODS People with newly diagnosed diabetes (1997-2006) in British Columbia, Canada were identified using population-based administrative data and pharmacy databases. Age-standardized incidence rates were calculated for people with diabetes prescribed insulin only and those with Type 2 diabetes. They were followed for up to 8 years for all hospitalizations and diabetes-related complications. RESULTS There were 712 South Asians, 498 Chinese and 6176 White people aged 5-29 years with diabetes. Most youth with diabetes had Type 2 diabetes (South Asian 86.4%; Chinese 87.1% and White 61.8%). The incidence of diabetes on insulin only was highest in White people compared with the other groups. The incidence of Type 2 diabetes was highest in South Asians, particularly in 20-29-year-olds, with rates 2.2 times that of White people and 3.1 times that of Chinese people. Hospitalization and diabetes-related complications were uncommon in all groups. CONCLUSION The incidence of Type 2 diabetes is higher than previously estimated among youth and is now surpassing diabetes on insulin only. Significant reductions in Type 2 diabetes screening ages in South Asians need to be considered and prevention efforts are urgently required in childhood and adolescence. Global estimates need to consider the epidemic of Type 2 diabetes in the young.

Abstract
AIM Sufficient volume load prior to major surgery is important for better management of anesthesia. In this study we assessed systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic stabilization following a load of hypertonic saline plus hydroxyethyl starch (HHS) solution during anesthesia in elective hepatobiliary surgical patients. METHODS Thirty-six hepatobiliary surgical patients, ASA physical status I~II, were randomly and double-blindly divided into: HHS (4 mL/kg) group, hydroxyethyl starch (7 mL/kg) group (HES group) and Ringer's solution (7 mL/kg) group (RL group). All the patients underwent general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP), pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), right ventricular-stroke work (RVSW) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) were recorded to monitor pulmonary circulation; systemic vascular resistance (SVR), cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) were recorded to monitor systemic circulation. These parameters were recorded before infusion (T0), 10 min after infusion (T1), 5 min after induction (T2), 5, 10 and 20 min after intubation (T3, T4 and T5, respectively). RESULTS In pulmonary circulation, MPAP, PAWP and RVSW were increased at T1 compared to T0 in both HES and HHS groups, the latter being more marked at T1. Pulmonary PVR was decreased in both HHS and HES groups compared to RL group during T2 to T5. In systemic circulation, SVR was decreased in both HHS and HES groups during T1 to T5 compared to RL group. CO and SV were increased at T1 compared to T0 in both HHS and HES groups, and they also increased during T1 to T5 in HHS group compared to RL group. CONCLUSION HHS solution was superior in maintaining systemic and pulmonary circulation during general anesthesia combined epidural anesthesia.

Abstract
The antidiabetic drug metformin exerts chemopreventive and antineoplastic effects in many types of malignancies. However, the mechanisms responsible for metformin actions appear diverse and may differ in different types of cancer. Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms specific for different cancers is important to optimize strategy for metformin treatment in different cancer types. Here, we investigate the in vitro and in vivo effects of metformin on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. Metformin selectively inhibited cell growth in ESCC tumor cells but not immortalized noncancerous esophageal epithelial cells. In addition to apoptosis, metformin triggered autophagy. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of autophagy sensitized ESCC cells to metformin-induced apoptotic cell death. Mechanistically, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) and its downstream target Bcl-2 was inactivated by metformin treatment. Accordingly, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated Stat3 knockdown enhanced metformin-induced autophagy and apoptosis, and concomitantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of metformin on cell viability. Similarly, the Bcl-2 proto-oncogene, an inhibitor of both apoptosis and autophagy, was repressed by metformin. Ectopic expression of Bcl-2 protected cells from metformin-mediated autophagy and apoptosis. In vivo, metformin downregulated Stat3 activity and Bcl-2 expression, induced apoptosis and autophagy, and inhibited tumor growth. Together, inactivation of Stat3-Bcl-2 pathway contributes to metformin-induced growth inhibition of ESCC by facilitating crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy.

Abstract
Millions of incidents of hand, foot and mouth disease occur annually in China, with EVA71 and CVA16 as two major causative pathogens. A provincial surveillance system has been implemented in Guangdong for almost 5 years to analyze the aetiological spectrum and epidemic changes. An unusual enterovirus type, CVA6, was identified as the predominant serotype associated with an HFMD epidemic from late 2012 to 2013. In contrast to virus strains isolated before, all CVA6/CHN/2012-2013 strains segregated into one major genetic cluster. This study suggested that one cluster of circulating CVA6 strain had emerged as a new and major cause during a continuing HFMD epidemic in Guangdong, China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Increasing the protein expression of intracellular Cu/Zn SOD, which is the major endogenous antioxidant enzyme, may attenuate or prevent hypoxia-reoxygenation injury (HRI) in cultured cardiomyocytes. However, ectogenic Cu/Zn-SOD can hardly be transferred into cells to exert biological effects. In this study, we constructed PTD-Cu/Zn SOD plasmid with a kind of translocation structure-Protein transduction domain (PTD) and detected its transmembrane ability and antioxidant effects in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation injury (HRI). METHODS We constructed the pET-PTD-Cu/Zn SOD (CDs) prokaryotic expression vectors in plasmid that were inserted into E. coli BL21 to induce the protein expression of PTD-Cu/Zn SOD. H9c2 cardiomyocyte HRI was achieved by exposing cardiomyocytes to 12 h hypoxia followed by 2 h reoxygenation. Protein expression of PTD-Cu/Zn SOD in cardiomyocytes was assayed by Western blot and their enzyme activities were investigated by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. RESULTS In cultured cardiomyocytes hypoxia-reoxygenation injury model, exogenous PTD-Cu/Zn SOD could penetrate cell membrane to clear superoxide anion and decrease hydrogen peroxide level in H9c2 cardiomyocytes subjected to HRI. The level of mitochondrial membrane potential was restored to normal, and the cell apoptosis was reduced in cardiomyocytes with PTD-Cu/Zn SOD treatment during HRI. CONCLUSION Recombinant PTD-Cu/Zn SOD could scavenge intracellular-free superoxide anion, protect mitochondria from damages, and attenuate the hypoxia-reoxygenation injury in cultured cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Bone is a common site of distant recurrence in women with early-stage breast cancer. Cancer cells are thought to stimulate osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, which releases growth factors and cytokines that promote tumor growth. RANK Ligand (RANKL) is the key mediator of osteoclast-induced bone destruction. In preclinical studies, RANKL inhibition reduced the incidence of bone and lung metastases, suppressed tumor progression, and prolonged survival of tumor-bearing mice. Effects were additive with hormonal, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies. Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody against RANKL, approved in the U.S. for the prevention of skeletal-related events in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. In patients with castrate-resistant prostate cancer, denosumab significantly improved bone metastasis-free survival (BMFS) compared to placebo. The D-CARE trial evaluates BMFS effects of denosumab in women with stage II or III breast cancer.
Methods: Women with node-positive or locally advanced (T3 or T4) disease, and known hormone and HER-2 receptor status are eligible. Standard-of-care adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemo-, endocrine, or HER-2 targeted therapy, alone or in combination must be planned with curative intent. Women with a prior history of breast cancer (other than ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS] or lobular carcinoma in situ [LCIS]) or distant metastasis, oral bisphosphonate (BP) use within 1 year or any intravenous BP use are excluded. Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive denosumab 120 mg or placebo subcutaneously monthly for 6 mos, then every 3 mos, for a total of 5 yrs treatment. All patients receive vitamin D (≥ 400 IU) and calcium (≥ 500 mg) supplements. Primary endpoint of this event-driven trial is BMFS. Secondary endpoints include disease-free (DFS) and overall survival. The study is powered for both, BMFS and DFS. Safety, quality of life assessments and biomarkers are additional endpoints. The trial, sponsored by Amgen Inc. and registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01077154 began enrolling patients in June 2010. PG and DF are supported in part by the Avon Foundation, NY.

Abstract
5056 Background: ADT increases bone resorption, reduces bone mineral density (BMD), and increases fracture risk. Previously, we reported that denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against RANKL, increased BMD and reduced the incidence of vertebral fractures in men with PC on ADT. We now describe in further detail the effects of denosumab on fractures at other skeletal sites. Methods: Men receiving ADT for nonmetastatic PC were randomized to receive subcutaneous denosumab 60 mg every 6 months (n = 734) or placebo (n = 734), with daily calcium and vitamin D supplements for 3 years. Men < 70 years old were required to have low BMD or a history of osteoporotic fracture. The primary endpoint was percentage change in lumbar spine BMD at 24 months. Key secondary endpoints were subject incidence of new vertebral fractures and fractures at any site (excluding fractures from severe trauma or pathologic fractures) over 3 years. Here, we evaluate the frequency of all fractures and fractures at key osteoporotic sites. The planned sample size (N = 1226) provided power to differentiate effects of denosumab from placebo for the primary and key secondary endpoints. Results: As previously reported, denosumab reduced the incidence of new vertebral fractures by 62% (p = 0.006), fractures at any site by 28% (p = 0.10), and multiple fractures at any site by 72% (p = 0.006) over 3 years. In a post-hoc analysis, we found a consistent trend showing a positive effect of denosumab on nonvertebral fractures. The occurrence of any fractures (counting all fractures within a subject) over 3 years was lower with denosumab than placebo (43 vs 77, p < 0.01). The subject incidence of fractures at 6 high-risk sites (wrist, humerus, hip, pelvis, leg [excluding patella], and clavicle) was numerically lower with denosumab (15 vs 24 placebo; p = 0.12). Also, fewer subjects in the denosumab arm than in the placebo arm reported fractures at key osteoporotic sites (e.g., 2 for denosumab vs 10 for placebo at the radius). Overall rates of adverse events were balanced between treatment arms. Conclusions: Denosumab significantly reduced the incidence of new vertebral fractures and in a post-hoc analysis, showed a trend toward a positive effect on nonvertebral fractures in men receiving ADT for nonmetastatic PC.

Abstract
9520 Background: Hormone ablation therapies, including adjuvant aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), improve recurrence-free survival in patients (pts) with BC and PC, respectively. However, these treatments increase bone resorption, leading to bone loss and fractures. RANKL is a key mediator of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. In this 24 month (mo) comparison, we investigated the effects of denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against RANKL, on preserving BMD across both populations. Methods: Two trials were conducted: a 24-mo BC study and a 36-mo PC study. Postmenopausal women with low BMD receiving AI therapy for nonmetastatic BC and men receiving ADT for nonmetastatic PC (with low BMD or history of osteoporotic fracture if < 70 yrs) were randomized to receive placebo or denosumab 60mg subcutaneously every 6 mos. All pts in both studies were prescribed calcium and vitamin D supplements. The primary endpoint was % change from baseline in lumbar spine (LS) BMD at 12 mos for the BC study and at 24 mos for the PC study. Herein, we present changes in BMD at 24 mos at LS, total hip (TH), and 1/3 radius from both studies. Power calculations were based on enrollment of at least 208 patients in the BC study (for primary endpoint only) and 1226 in the PC study (for primary and key secondary endpoints). The actual numbers randomized were 252 and 1468, respectively. Results: Denosumab increased BMD of the LS, TH, and 1/3 radius compared with placebo at 24 mos in both pt populations ( Table ). In both studies, differences between denosumab and placebo at each skeletal site were consistent, and the effects of denosumab were statistically significantly different from placebo as early as 1 month at the LS in both studies. The overall safety profile was similar to placebo in each study. Conclusions: Denosumab consistently increased BMD at all 3 skeletal sites compared with placebo in both women with BC undergoing AI therapy and in men with PC undergoing ADT.

Abstract
A silicon microreactor consisting of an integrated heater, temperature sensor and thermal isolation chamber has been described. The thermal characteristics of the device have been studied by computer simulation and a rapid heating rate (20 degrees C--95 degrees C in less than 2 s) has been achieved. The fabrication process, consisting of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication techniques has been established. The design features of this device, in particular the integrated heater and temperature sensor and the thermal isolation chamber allows fast heating/cooling rates and therefore enables efficient thermocycling suitable for DNA amplification.

Abstract
We compared the bioaccumulation of Cd, Se, and Zn in an estuarine oyster (Crassostrea rivularis) and a coastal oyster (Saccostrea glomerata) from both the dissolved and particulate phases. A bioenergetic-based kinetic model was used to predict the exposure pathways of metals in the oysters. The assimilation efficiencies (AEs) of metals, determined for four species of phytoplankton and natural sediment, were in the range of 30-75% for Cd, 25-75% for Se, and 30-80% for Zn, respectively, in the two oysters. There was little difference in metal AE between the two oysters and among the three metals on the same particle type. Metal uptake rate constant, determined from the log-log relationship between metal influx rate and metal concentration in the dissolved phase, was higher for Cd and Zn in the estuarine oyster C. rivularis than in the coastal oyster S. glomerata. The uptake rate constants quantified for Cd, Se, and Zn were the highest among different bivalve species studied so far. The calculated metal absorption efficiency from the dissolved phase was similar to those found in other bivalve species. The measured efflux rate constant in the estuarine oyster C. rivularis was in the range of 0.01-0.03 day(-1) for Cd, Se, and Zn, and were comparable to those found in mussels and clams. In contrast, the efflux rate constant of Cd and Zn in the coastal oyster S. glomerata was 0.003-0.004 day(-1), which may be responsible for the high Cd and Zn concentrations in the oysters. The bioenergetic-based kinetic model predicts that under most circumstances likely experienced by oysters in nature, the majority of Se and Zn in the two oysters stem from uptake from the dietary phase. Dissolved uptake contributes significantly to metal accumulation only when the metal concentration factor (CF) in the particles is in the lower portion of the range typically found in nature. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the metal CF is a critical parameter in determining the exposure pathways of metals in the oysters. Our study demonstrated that estuarine and coastal oysters differed in their strategies in accumulating a high metal concentration in their tissues.

Abstract
The effect of experimental acute hyponatraemia on severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) was studied in a modified impact-acceleration model. The cortical contusional volume was quantified by image analysis on serial sections, injured axons were visualized and quantified by beta-Amyloid Precursor Protein (beta-APP) immunohistochemical staining. Regional brain water content was estimated by the wet-dry weight method. The experiment was conducted in Group I (injury only) and Group II (injury followed by acute hyponatraemia). Comparison between the two groups showed that acute hyponatraemia significantly increased contusional volume (3.24 +/- 0.70 mm3 vs. 1.80 +/- 0.65 mm3, P = 0.009) and the number of injured axons (128.7 +/- 44.3 vs. 41.7 +/- 50.1, P = 0.04) in the right thalamus & basal ganglia region. Water content of the brain stem region was also significantly increased by acute hyponatraemia (73.71 +/- 0.14% vs. 72.28 +/- 0.93%, P = 0.004). These results suggest that acute hyponatraemia potentiates secondary brain damage in severe TBI by augmentation of both focal contusion and diffuse axonal injury. The injured brain stem region is more susceptible to edema formation induced by experimental acute hyponatraemia.

Abstract
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the most abundant water channel in the rat brain. In this study, the distribution pattern and mRNA expression levels of AQP4 were examined in a severe traumatic brain injury model by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Oedema formation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity were assessed by wet-dry weight measurements and immunostaining of endogenous IgG respectively. In the oedematous contusional cortex with impaired BBB integrity, negative immunostaining of AQP4 and down-regulation of its mRNA level were identified (P<0.05) at 1 day post-injury, while in other oedematous regions of the injured brain where BBB was intact, there was no significant change in the AQP4 expression level. This heterogeneous pattern of AQP4 responses can be interpreted as follows: focal brain injury (such as a contusion) with impaired BBB resulting in vasogenic oedema is associated with reduction of AQP4 expression, whereas, in cytotoxic oedema, associated with diffuse brain injury with intact BBB, changes in AQP4 expression are not significant. This study provides basic information for investigating new treatments for traumatic brain oedema.

Abstract
Sixty-nine cases of pseudoaneurysm were made in 72 femoral arteries of 54 Japanese white rabbits, with a successful rate of 95.8%. Colored Doppler's ultrasonic imaging, CT, MRI, arterial angiography, anatomic dissection, and histologic observation were carried out at different times after the operation. The mechanism for the formation of pseudoaneurysm was discussed and the effects of colored Doppler's ultrasonic imaging, CT, MRI, and arterial angiography in the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm were evaluated.
