Abstract
The excited states of unstable ^{20}O were investigated via γ-ray spectroscopy following the ^{19}O(d,p)^{20}O reaction at 8 AMeV. By exploiting the Doppler shift attenuation method, the lifetimes of the 2_{2}^{+} and 3_{1}^{+} states were firmly established. From the γ-ray branching and E2/M1 mixing ratios for transitions deexciting the 2_{2}^{+} and 3_{1}^{+} states, the B(E2) and B(M1) were determined. Various chiral effective field theory Hamiltonians, describing the nuclear properties beyond ground states, along with a standard USDB interaction, were compared with the experimentally obtained data. Such a comparison for a large set of γ-ray transition probabilities with the valence space in medium similarity renormalization group ab initio calculations was performed for the first time in a nucleus far from stability. It was shown that the ab initio approaches using chiral effective field theory forces are challenged by detailed high-precision spectroscopic properties of nuclei. The reduced transition probabilities were found to be a very constraining test of the performance of the ab initio models.

Abstract
The neural stimulation of the vagus nerve is able to modulate various functions of the parasympathetic response in different organs. The stimulation of the vagus nerve is a promising approach to treating inflammatory diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart failure, and hypertension. The complexity of the vagus nerve requires highly selective stimulation, allowing the modulation of target-specific organs without side effects. Here, we address this issue by adapting a neural stimulator and developing an intraneural electrode for the particular modulation of the vagus nerve. The neurostimulator parameters such as amplitude, pulse width, and pulse shape were modulated. Single-, and multi-channel stimulation was performed at different amplitudes. For the first time, a polyimide thin-film neural electrode was designed for the specific stimulation of the vagus nerve. In vivo experiments were performed in the adult minipig to validate to elicit electrically evoked action potentials and to modulate physiological functions, validating the spatial selectivity of intraneural stimulation. Electrochemical tests of the electrode and the neurostimulator showed that the stimulation hardware was working correctly. Stimulating the porcine vagus nerve resulted in spatially selective modulation of the vagus nerve. ECAP belonging to alpha and beta fibers could be distinguished during single- and multi-channel stimulation. We have shown that the here presented system is able to activate the vagus nerve and can therefore modulate the heart rate, diastolic pressure, and systolic pressure. The here presented system may be used to restore the cardiac loop after denervation by implementing biomimetic stimulation patterns. Presented methods may be used to develop intraneural electrodes adapted for various applications.

Abstract
The reduced transition probabilities for the 4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+} and 2_{1}^{+}→0_{1}^{+} transitions in ^{92}Mo and ^{94}Ru and for the 4_{1}^{+}→2_{1}^{+} and 6_{1}^{+}→4_{1}^{+} transitions in ^{90}Zr have been determined in this experiment making use of a multinucleon transfer reaction. These results have been interpreted on the basis of realistic shell-model calculations in the f_{5/2}, p_{3/2}, p_{1/2}, and g_{9/2} proton valence space. Only the combination of extensive lifetime information and large scale shell-model calculations allowed the extent of the seniority conservation in the N=50 g_{9/2} orbital to be understood. The conclusion is that seniority is largely conserved in the first πg_{9/2} orbital.

Abstract
The low-lying energy spectrum of the extremely neutron-deficient self-conjugate (N=Z) nuclide _{44}^{88}Ru_{44} has been measured using the combination of the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) spectrometer, the NEDA and Neutron Wall neutron detector arrays, and the DIAMANT charged particle detector array. Excited states in ^{88}Ru were populated via the ^{54}Fe(^{36}Ar,2nγ)^{88}Ru^{*} fusion-evaporation reaction at the Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL) accelerator complex. The observed γ-ray cascade is assigned to ^{88}Ru using clean prompt γ-γ-2-neutron coincidences in anticoincidence with the detection of charged particles, confirming and extending the previously assigned sequence of low-lying excited states. It is consistent with a moderately deformed rotating system exhibiting a band crossing at a rotational frequency that is significantly higher than standard theoretical predictions with isovector pairing, as well as observations in neighboring N>Z nuclides. The direct observation of such a "delayed" rotational alignment in a deformed N=Z nucleus is in agreement with theoretical predictions related to the presence of strong isoscalar neutron-proton pair correlations.

Abstract
The nuclei below lead but with more than 126 neutrons are crucial to an understanding of the astrophysical r process in producing nuclei heavier than A∼190. Despite their importance, the structure and properties of these nuclei remain experimentally untested as they are difficult to produce in nuclear reactions with stable beams. In a first exploration of the shell structure of this region, neutron excitations in ^{207}Hg have been probed using the neutron-adding (d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics. The radioactive beam of ^{206}Hg was delivered to the new ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer at an energy above the Coulomb barrier. The spectroscopy of ^{207}Hg marks a first step in improving our understanding of the relevant structural properties of nuclei involved in a key part of the path of the r process.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) are not synonymous with obstructive flow-limiting coronary artery disease (CAD), especially in women. Platelet dysfunction is suggested as a potential mechanism favouring ischemia in non-obstructive CAD. However, it is unknown whether sex differences in platelet function of patients with non-obstructive CAD exist.
Purpose
We assessed for sex differences in in-vivo markers of platelet activation among patients with the acute coronary syndrome and chronic stable angina, with or without obstructive CAD
Methods
From the “Endocrine Vascular disease Approach” (EVA) study, we selected IHD patients undergoing urgent or elective coronary angiography with complete baseline clinical characteristics and angiographic data. Non-obstructive CAD was defined as the presence of coronary stenosis <50%. Thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and soluble P-selectin (sP-s) were measured at baseline. A sex-stratified analysis of platelet biomarkers was performed.
Results
Among two-hundred-seventy-seven patients (mean age 67±11, 37% women), non-obstructive CAD was documented in 25% of patients. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was the reason for angiography in 61% of cases. Women had more frequently ACS, as compared with men (54.8% vs 41.3%, p=0.001), with predominantly non-obstructive CAD. Median serum TxB2 (121.5 [92.7–174.0] vs 103.5 [83.0–140.2] pg/ml, p=0.005) and plasma sP-s (27.0 [18.7–35.0] vs 22.0 [16.0–30.0] ng/ml, p=0.006) levels were higher in patients with ACS as compared with the ones with stable chronic angina. The median concentration of TxB2 was significantly increased in women as compared with men, regardless of the clinical presentation and the coronary stenosis degree (all comparison, p<0.001). However, women with non-obstructive CAD were the group with the highest serum levels of TxB2 (140.0 [111.0–152.0] pg/ml). Sex differences in the plasma sP-s level were also observed among patients with stable chronic angina (women, 26 [20.0–34.0] vs men, 21 [16.6–27.7] ng/ml, p=0.002) and with non-obstructive CAD (women, 26 [20.5–34.5] vs men, 18.5 [16.6–26.0] ng/ml, p=0.003).
Conclusion(s)
Women with IHD and non-obstructive CAD had increased level of TxB2 and sP-s as compared with men, independently by the clinical presentation. Further investigations are warranted to verify the role of platelet hyperactivation in the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease among women.

Abstract
Aims and Background Rarely are conclusions from clinical trials summarized in international consensus conferences and promptly transferred to patient care. The adjuvant therapy for colorectal cancer used in daily clinical practice in Italy is described and compared with the recommendations of the 1990 NIH Consensus Conference. Patients and Methods We audited prescriptions of adjuvant systemic therapies for Italian colorectal cancer patients in 82 centers during a fixed one-week period. Results Among 434 patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy there were 139 (42.5%) colon cancer patients with N- and 169 (51.7%) with N+ regional nodal involvement. Treatment at academic centers, a young age, T4 and a low total number of lymph nodes removed at surgery were the factors potentially justifying the decision for adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II colon cancer patients. The most common chemotherapy used was a bolus of 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid for 6 months (75.8%). Adjuvant radiotherapy was not administered to 37 (38.5%) of 96 patients with stage II and III rectal cancer. Conclusions The study shows that a substantial proportion of patients on adjuvant treatment at a certain time point in a large enough sample of Italian centers are stage II (potential over-treatment) and that an under-treatment of stage II and III rectal cancer patients (lack of radiotherapy) occurs too often in daily clinical practice in this country.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: PBC+10N have a high risk of relapse. Experimental studies suggest that high expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promotes tumor progression through neoangiogenesis and that natural killer (NK) cells mediate lytic activity against cancer cell lines. In a phase I-II study, we have shown that low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) and 13-cis retinoic acid (RA) increased NK cells and decreased VEGF, in patients with advanced cancer and a clinical benefit from chemotherapy (Clin Cancer Res 7: 1251, 2001). We assumed that IL-2 and RA, increasing NK and decreasing VEGF, could improve disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in PBC+10N. Primary endpoint was the evaluation of NK cells and VEGF; secondary endpoints were DFS, OS and toxicity. Methods: 34 patients with PBC+10N, after high-dose chemotherapy and peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation were entered into the study. They were given hormonal therapy if needed and subcutaneous IL-2, 1.8 X 106 IU and oral RA, 0.5 mg/Kg for 5 days/week, 3 weeks/month, until progression. NK cells, VEGF, response and toxicity were assessed every 4 months. Results: After a median follow-up of 120 months (range 69-209), a total of 41 courses of high-dose chemotherapy and 60 courses of immunotherapy were delivered. A statistically significant improvement of NK cells [from a mean of 302 ± 75/mm3 to a mean of 582 ± 72/mm3 (p < 0.001)] and a decrease of VEGF [from a mean of 525 ± 68 pg/mm3 to a mean of 155 ± 13 pg/mm3, (p < 0.001)], were observed. 18-years DFS and OS were 29% and 32%, respectively. A significant improvement, with respect to NCI SEER data (*), was observed in the 5-year OS rate: 55% vs. 6% No WHO grade 3 or 4 toxicity was observed, while grade 2 cutaneous toxicity and fever occurred in 20% and 13% of patients, respectively. Conclusions: Our data show that immunotherapy with IL-2/RA, may determine, with an acceptable toxicity profile, a statistically significant improvement of NK cells, a decrease of VEGF, and better 5-year survival rates with respect to NCI SEER data.

Abstract
Lifetime measurements of excited states of the light N=52 isotones ^{88}Kr, ^{86}Se, and ^{84}Ge have been performed, using the recoil distance Doppler shift method and VAMOS and AGATA spectrometers for particle identification and gamma spectroscopy, respectively. The reduced electric quadrupole transition probabilities B(E2;2^{+}→0^{+}) and B(E2;4^{+}→2^{+}) were obtained for the first time for the hard-to-reach ^{84}Ge. While the B(E2;2^{+}→0^{+}) values of ^{88}Kr, ^{86}Se saturate the maximum quadrupole collectivity offered by the natural valence (3s, 2d, 1g_{7/2}, 1h_{11/2}) space of an inert ^{78}Ni core, the value obtained for ^{84}Ge largely exceeds it, suggesting that shape coexistence phenomena, previously reported at N≲49, extend beyond N=50. The onset of collectivity at Z=32 is understood as due to a pseudo-SU(3) organization of the proton single-particle sequence reflecting a clear manifestation of pseudospin symmetry. It is realized that the latter provides actually reliable guidance for understanding the observed proton and neutron single particle structure in the whole medium-mass region, from Ni to Sn, pointing towards the important role of the isovector-vector ρ field in shell-structure evolution.

Abstract
The lifetimes of the first excited 2^{+}, 4^{+}, and 6^{+} states in ^{98}Zr were measured with the recoil-distance Doppler shift method in an experiment performed at GANIL. Excited states in ^{98}Zr were populated using the fission reaction between a 6.2 MeV/u ^{238}U beam and a ^{9}Be target. The γ rays were detected with the EXOGAM array in correlation with the fission fragments identified by mass and atomic number in the VAMOS++ spectrometer. Our result shows a very small B(E2;2_{1}^{+}→0_{1}^{+}) value in ^{98}Zr, thereby confirming the very sudden onset of collectivity at N=60. The experimental results are compared to large-scale Monte Carlo shell model and beyond-mean-field calculations. The present results indicate the coexistence of two additional deformed shapes in this nucleus along with the spherical ground state.

Abstract
Energy differences between analogue states in the T=1/2 ^{23}Mg-^{23}Na mirror nuclei have been measured along the rotational yrast bands. This allows us to search for effects arising from isospin-symmetry-breaking interactions (ISB) and/or shape changes. Data are interpreted in the shell model framework following the method successfully applied to nuclei in the f_{7/2} shell. It is shown that the introduction of a schematic ISB interaction of the same type of that used in the f_{7/2} shell is needed to reproduce the data. An alternative novel description, applied here for the first time, relies on the use of an effective interaction deduced from a realistic charge-dependent chiral nucleon-nucleon potential. This analysis provides two important results: (i) The mirror energy differences give direct insight into the nuclear skin; (ii) the skin changes along the rotational bands are strongly correlated with the difference between the neutron and proton occupations of the s_{1/2} "halo" orbit.

Abstract
We report the occurrence of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion in 3 patients with breast carcinoma metastatic to the liver who received hepatic arterial infusion of vinblastine at lower doses than those previously associated with this effect. Leukopenia was severe in all patients, who additionally experienced hypokalemia with excessive kaliuresis. The etiology of the observed hypokalemia is unclear. We suspect that vinblastine may induce renal tubular dysfunction. These toxicities appear dose-related.

Abstract
Aims and Background 5-fluorouracil given by continuous infusion allows higher dose delivery, causes less myelosuppression and may interfere with repair of DNA damage caused by carboplatin. With this rationale, we conducted a phase II study to test the activity and toxicity of 5-fluorouracil and carboplatin given in continuous infusion to patients with advanced cancer and pretreated with at least two chemotherapy regimens. Methods Forty patients with advanced tumors (21 colon, 4 stomach, 3 breast, 3 bladder, 3 ovary, and 6 at other sites) were entered in the trial. 5-fluorouracil (200 mg/m2) and carboplatin (20 mg/m2) were administered by continuous infusion from days 1 to 20, every 4 weeks. Results All patients were assessable for response and toxicity. A total of 138 courses of chemotherapy were administered, with a mean of 3.5 per patient (range, 2-9). Toxicity, assessed using WHO criteria, was as follows: nausea and vomiting grade 2-3 in 34% of patients, alopecia grade 2-3 in 96%, and neutropenia grade 3-4 in 26%. One patient (2.5%) had a complete response to therapy and 7 (17.5%) had a partial response (response rate 20%; 95% Cl, 9.06-35.68%). Disease stability and progression occurred in 12 (30%) and 20 (50%) patients, respectively. Median time to progression was 5.6 months (range, 2.8-45.9+), with a median survival time of 7.7 months (range, 1.5-45.9+). Conclusions Outpatient treatment with a combination of 5-fluorouracil and carboplatin in continuous infusion was active as salvage treatment for advanced tumors and may give prolonged palliation of symptoms with manageable toxicity.

Abstract
The g factor of the 56 ns half-life isomeric state in ^{128}Cs has been measured using the time-differential perturbed angular distribution method. This state is the bandhead of the positive-parity chiral rotational band, which emerges when an unpaired proton, an unpaired neutron hole, and an even-even core are coupled such that their angular momentum vectors are aplanar (chiral configuration). g-factor measurements can give important information on the relative orientation of the three angular momentum vectors. The measured g factor g=+0.59(1) shows that there is an important contribution of the core rotation in the total angular momentum of the isomeric state. Moreover, a quantitative theoretical analysis supports the conclusion that the three angular momentum vectors lie almost in one plane, which suggests that the chiral configuration in ^{128}Cs demonstrated in previous works by characteristic patterns of electromagnetic transitions appears only above some value of the total nuclear spin.

Abstract
Excited states in mirror nuclei 31S and 31P were populated in the 1n and 1p exit channels, respectively, of the reaction 20Ne + 12C. The beam of 20Ne, with an energy of 33 MeV, was delivered for the first time by the Piave-Alpi accelerator of the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro. Angular correlations of coincident pairs and Doppler-shift attenuation lifetime measurements in 31S and 31P were performed using the multidetector array GASP in conjunction with the EUCLIDES charged particle detector. A comparison of the determined B(E1) strengths of the analog mirror 7/2- → 5/2+ transitions indicates the presence of a violation of isospin symmetry.

Abstract
Prompt γ-ray spectroscopy of the neutron-rich ^{96}Kr, produced in transfer- and fusion-induced fission reactions, has been performed using the combination of the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array and the VAMOS++ spectrometer. A second excited state, assigned to J^{π}=4^{+}, is observed for the first time, and a previously reported level energy of the first 2^{+} excited state is confirmed. The measured energy ratio R_{4/2}=E(4^{+})/E(2^{+})=2.12(1) indicates that this nucleus does not show a well-developed collectivity contrary to that seen in heavier N=60 isotones. This new measurement highlights an abrupt transition of the degree of collectivity as a function of the proton number at Z=36, of similar amplitude to that observed at N=60 at higher Z values. A possible reason for this abrupt transition could be related to the insufficient proton excitations in the g_{9/2}, d_{5/2}, and s_{1/2} orbitals to generate strong quadrupole correlations or to the coexistence of competing different shapes. An unexpected continuous decrease of R_{4/2} as a function of the neutron number up to N=60 is also evidenced. This measurement establishes the Kr isotopic chain as the low-Z boundary of the island of deformation for N=60 isotones. A comparison with available theoretical predictions using different beyond mean-field approaches shows that these models fail to reproduce the abrupt transitions at N=60 and Z=36.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Cancer immunotherapy is revolutionizing treatment today. While MBC with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) tumors, responding or stabilizing after first line chemotherapy, may have a benefit from a maintenance endocrine therapy combined with the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab, no option exists for ER- patients. In the past, we have shown, that a combination of 13-cis retinoic acid (RA) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) was able to improve the immune function [enhancing lymphocyte and natural killer cell (NK) counts, and CD4+/CD8+ ratio] of cancer patients who had had a clinical benefit from chemotherapy (Clin Cancer Res 2001;7:1251). With the aim of improving the immune function which eventually would lead to improvement of progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), patients with ER- LA or MBC, with a clinical benefit from chemotherapy, were treated with a combination of IL-2 and RA. Methods: Eligible patients with ER-, LA or MBC, and no evidence of progression after induction chemotherapy received the following immunotherapy: IL-2, (1.8 M UI ), and oral RA (0.5 mg/kg), 5 days/week, 3 weeks/month for 1 year. Therapy was continued, with intermittent schedule until progression. Primary endpoints were the differences in lymphocyte , natural killer cell (NK) counts, and CD4+/CD8+ ratio, secondary end points were progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity. Results: From 12/1996 to 04/2009, 74 patients with ER-, LA (49%) or MBC (51%) were entered into the study. Median age was 55 years (range 31-75), 31% of patients were pre-menopausal. Each patient had received a median of 11 courses of first line and salvage chemotherapy regimens (total 850 courses). In addition, 31 patients had received high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation. Disease sites were as follows: soft tissue 54%, viscera 28%, bones 18%. After a median follow-up of 118 months (range 84-232), a total of 374 courses of immunotherapy were delivered. No WHO grade 3 or 4 toxicity was observed; grade 2 cutaneous toxicity and autoimmune reactions occurred in 19% and 16% of patients, respectively. A Statistically significant improvement with respect to baseline values was observed in the number of lymphocytes (p<0.001), NKs (p<0.001), and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio (p<0.01). Median PFS and OS were 44.9 months and 104.8 months, respectively. Conclusions: Maintenance immunotherapy with IL-2 and RA in ER- LA or MBC patients who do not progress after induction chemotherapy is well tolerated, improves lymphocyte, NK, CD4+/CD8+ ratios, and seems to delay disease recurrence.

Abstract
Previous experiments observed a 4^{+} state in the N=28 nucleus ^{44}S and suggested that this state may exhibit a hindered E2-decay rate, inconsistent with being a member of the collective ground state band. We populate this state via two-proton knockout from a beam of exotic ^{46}Ar projectiles and measure its lifetime using the recoil distance method with the GRETINA γ-ray spectrometer. The result, 76(14)_{stat}(20)_{syst} ps, implies a hindered transition of B(E2;4^{+}→2_{1}^{+})=0.61(19) single-particle or Weisskopf units strength and supports the interpretation of the 4^{+} state as a K=4 isomer, the first example of a high-K isomer in a nucleus of such low mass.

Abstract
Shape parameters of a weakly deformed ground-state band and highly deformed slightly triaxial sideband in ^{42}Ca were determined from E2 matrix elements measured in the first low-energy Coulomb excitation experiment performed with AGATA. The picture of two coexisting structures is well reproduced by new state-of-the-art large-scale shell model and beyond-mean-field calculations. Experimental evidence for superdeformation of the band built on 0_{2}^{+} has been obtained and the role of triaxiality in the A∼40 mass region is discussed. Furthermore, the potential of Coulomb excitation as a tool to study superdeformation has been demonstrated for the first time.

Abstract
The lifetimes of the first excited 2^{+} and 4^{+} states in ^{72}Ni were measured at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory with the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method, a model-independent probe to obtain the reduced transition probability. Excited states in ^{72}Ni were populated by the one-proton knockout reaction of an intermediate energy ^{73}Cu beam. γ-ray-recoil coincidences were detected with the γ-ray tracking array GRETINA and the S800 spectrograph. Our results provide evidence of enhanced transition probability B(E2;2^{+}→0^{+}) as compared to ^{68}Ni, but do not confirm the trend of large B(E2) values reported in the neighboring isotope ^{70}Ni obtained from Coulomb excitation measurement. The results are compared to shell model calculations. The lifetime obtained for the excited 4_{1}^{+} state is consistent with models showing decay of a seniority ν=4, 4^{+} state, which is consistent with the disappearance of the 8^{+} isomer in ^{72}Ni.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: A large randomized study has shown the value of temporary ovarian suppression during the administration of chemotherapy in the treatment of high risk estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) (Pagani et al. N Engl J Med 2014). In another study ovarian suppression added to chemotherapy appeared to protect ovarian function (Moore et al. N Engl J Med 2014) and improve the expected outcome of estrogen receptor negative (ER-) BC. Nevertheless, both these studies have a median follow-up time limited to 68 months and 49 months, respectively. Here we present the data of a large non randomized phase II study of adjuvant ovarian suppression in ER+ and ER- breast cancer with a median follow-up of 120 months (range 90-220 months). The primary end point was the ovarian function preservation rate, secondary end points were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Methods: Between 06-1997 and 06-2007, 200 premenopausal, high risk early BC patients entered the study. All patients received the LH-RH analogue before starting chemotherapy. Breast conserving and radical surgery were performed in 74% and 26% of patients, respectively. Systemic therapy was tailored to the biological characteristics of each patient, and followed by radiation therapy and hormonal therapy in ER+ tumors. Results: The median patient's age was 43 years (range 26-45). The mean number of positive axillary nodes was 3.2 (range 1-25). Seventy-one % of patients were ER+ and/or progesterone receptor positive (PGR+), 29% were ER - and PGR-. The median KI-67 was 30% (range 15% -100%). Twenty-one % of patients were c-ErbB-2 positive. After a median follow up of 120 months (range 90-220), normal menses returned in 90% of patients younger than 40 years and in 56% of patients older than 40 years. The 10 and 15-year DFS rate were 85.5% and 71%, respectively, while the 10 and 15-year OS rate were 91%, and 71%, respectively. The standard pattern of toxicity of chemotherapy was observed. Hot flashes and G1 osteopenia occurring after LH-RH analogue administration were temporary and subsided after the cessation of therapy. Conclusions: LH-RH administration, concurrent with chemotherapy is tolerable and effective. Five full term pregnancies were documented. A favourable impact on the expected DFS and OS was observed. ER- patients had late new primaries, but no recurrence after 5 years, while ER+ patients had disease recurrence even after 13 years.

Abstract
The isospin mixing was deduced in the compound nucleus ^{80}Zr at an excitation energy of E^{*}=54 MeV from the γ decay of the giant dipole resonance. The reaction ^{40}Ca+^{40}Ca at E_{beam}=136 MeV was used to form the compound nucleus in the isospin I=0 channel, while the reaction ^{37}Cl+^{44}Ca at E_{beam}=95 MeV was used as the reference reaction. The γ rays were detected with the AGATA demonstrator array coupled with LaBr_{3}:Ce detectors. The temperature dependence of the isospin mixing was obtained and the zero-temperature value deduced. The isospin-symmetry-breaking correction δ_{C} used for the Fermi superallowed transitions was extracted and found to be consistent with β-decay data.

Abstract
The reduced transition probability B(E2;0(+)→2(+)) has been measured for the neutron-rich nucleus (74)Ni in an intermediate energy Coulomb excitation experiment performed at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. The obtained B(E2;0(+)→2(+))=642(-226)(+216) e(2) fm(4) value defines a trend which is unexpectedly small if referred to (70)Ni and to a previous indirect determination of the transition strength in (74)Ni. This indicates a reduced polarization of the Z=28 core by the valence neutrons. Calculations in the pfgd model space reproduce well the experimental result indicating that the B(E2) strength predominantly corresponds to neutron excitations. The ratio of the neutron and proton multipole matrix elements supports such an interpretation.

Abstract
An approach is presented to experimentally constrain previously unreachable (p, γ) reaction rates on nuclei far from stability in the astrophysical rp process. Energies of all critical resonances in the (57)Cu(p,γ)(58)Zn reaction are deduced by populating states in (58)Zn with a (d, n) reaction in inverse kinematics at 75 MeV/u, and detecting γ-ray-recoil coincidences with the state-of-the-art γ-ray tracking array GRETINA and the S800 spectrograph at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The results reduce the uncertainty in the (57)Cu(p,γ) reaction rate by several orders of magnitude. The effective lifetime of (56)Ni, an important waiting point in the rp process in x-ray bursts, can now be determined entirely from experimentally constrained reaction rates.

Abstract
The properties of pygmy dipole states in 208Pb were investigated using the 208Pb(17O, 17O'γ) reaction at 340 MeV and measuring the γ decay with high resolution with the AGATA demonstrator array. Cross sections and angular distributions of the emitted γ rays and of the scattered particles were measured. The results are compared with (γ, γ') and (p, p') data. The data analysis with the distorted wave Born approximation approach gives a good description of the elastic scattering and of the inelastic excitation of the 2+ and 3- states. For the dipole transitions a form factor obtained by folding a microscopically calculated transition density was used for the first time. This has allowed us to extract the isoscalar component of the 1- excited states from 4 to 8 MeV.

Abstract
The Gamow-Teller strength in the β(+) direction to (46)Sc was extracted via the (46)Ti(t,(3)He + γ) reaction at 115 MeV/u. The γ-ray coincidences served to precisely measure the very weak Gamow-Teller transition to a final state at 991 keV. Although this transition is weak, it is crucial for accurately estimating electron-capture rates in astrophysical scenarios with relatively low stellar densities and temperatures, such as presupernova stellar evolution. Shell-model calculations with different effective interactions in the pf shell-model space do not reproduce the experimental Gamow-Teller strengths, which is likely due to sd-shell admixtures. Calculations in the quasiparticle random phase approximation that are often used in astrophysical simulations also fail to reproduce the experimental Gamow-Teller strength distribution, leading to strongly overestimated electron-capture rates. Because reliable theoretical predictions of Gamow-Teller strengths are important for providing astrophysical electron-capture reaction rates for a broad set of nuclei in the lower pf shell, we conclude that further theoretical improvements are required to match astrophysical needs.

Abstract
The transition rates from the yrast 2+ and 4+ states in the self-conjugate 72Kr nucleus were studied via lifetime measurements employing the GRETINA array with a novel application of the recoil-distance method. The large collectivity observed for the 4+→2+ transition suggests a prolate character of the excited states. The reduced collectivity previously reported for the 2+→0+ transition was confirmed. The irregular behavior of collectivity points to the occurrence of a rapid oblate-prolate shape transition in 72Kr, providing stringent tests for advanced theories to describe the shape coexistence and its evolution.

Abstract
Excited states in the neutron-rich N = 38, 36 nuclei (60)Ti and (58)Ti were populated in nucleon-removal reactions from (61)V projectiles at 90 MeV/nucleon. The γ-ray transitions from such states in these Ti isotopes were detected with the advanced γ-ray tracking array GRETINA and were corrected event by event for large Doppler shifts (v/c ∼ 0.4) using the γ-ray interaction points deduced from online signal decomposition. The new data indicate that a steep decrease in quadrupole collectivity occurs when moving from neutron-rich N = 36, 38 Fe and Cr toward the Ti and Ca isotones. In fact, (58,60)Ti provide some of the most neutron-rich benchmarks accessible today for calculations attempting to determine the structure of the potentially doubly magic nucleus (60)Ca.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: E2 plays a key role in human reproduction and in premenopausal BC growth through the induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the expansion of T-Regulatory cells (T-Regs). In addition, few clinical data exist on long-term outcome of high-risk N+ premenopausal BC treated with E2 deprivation, by luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH). We hypothesized that E2 suppression, following diagnosis of N+ BC in young premenopausal patients, could decrease VEGF and T-Regs and, therefore, could reduce the recurrence rate. Primary endpoint of this study was the evaluation of T-Regs and VEGF of premenopausal patients with high-risk N+, estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and negative (ER-) early BC, treated with an LH-RH analogue. Secondary endpoints were the 10 and 15-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. Methods: Between 06-1997 and 06-2007, 200 premenopausal high risk early BC patients were entered into the study. Before starting chemotherapy, the LH-RH analogue was administered, 3.75 mg every 28 days for 1 year to the first 64 patients. The same monthly dose was given, for 2 years, to 36 patients. Having observed a decrease of 31% in the recurrence rate for the longer administration of LH-RH analogue, we gave the 11.25 mg dose every 84 days, for 5 years, to the remaining 100 patients. Breast conserving and radical surgery were performed in 74% and 26% of patients, respectively. Systemic therapy was tailored to the biological characteristics of each patient and followed by radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy in ER+ tumors. Results: Median patient's age was 43 years (range 26-45). Mean number of positive axillary nodes was 3.2 (range 1-25). 71% of patients were ER+ and/or progesterone receptor (PGR+), 29% were ER - and PGR-. Median KI-67 was 30% (range 15% -100%). 21% of patients were c-ErbB-2 positive and 11 of them were treated with trastuzumab for 1 year. After a median follow up of 102 months (range 60-180), a statistically significant decrease of VEGF and T-Regs was observed, both in ER+ (P<0.0001) and ER- patients (P<0.0001). Ten-year DFS and OS rate were 86% and 90%, respectively, while the 15-year DFS and OS rate were 62%, and 73%, respectively. Two c-ErbB-2 positive patients (4.7%), had disease recurrence. ER+ patients had a better DFS (P<0.05) and OS (P<0.0001) with respect to ER- patients. The standard pattern of toxicity of chemotherapy was observed, while hot flashes and G1 osteopenia occurred after LH-RH analogue administration. Conclusions: E2 deprivation with an LH-RH analogue is able to decrease plasma VEGF and T-Regs in premenopausal high risk ER+ and ER- BC patients, at the price of a mild toxicity. A favourable impact on DFS and OS was observed. ER- patients had late new primaries, but no recurrence after 5 years, while ER+ patients had disease recurrence even after 15 years. Long term therapy should have further evaluation in premenopausal patients with ER+ tumors.

Abstract
The neutron-rich lead isotopes, up to (216)Pb, have been studied for the first time, exploiting the fragmentation of a primary uranium beam at the FRS-RISING setup at GSI. The observed isomeric states exhibit electromagnetic transition strengths which deviate from state-of-the-art shell-model calculations. It is shown that their complete description demands the introduction of effective three-body interactions and two-body transition operators in the conventional neutron valence space beyond (208)Pb.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Among the different chemotherapeutic options available for adjuvant treatment of early breast cancer (EBC), anthracycline-containing regimens represent prevalent choices. OSCAR/ABC is an observational, prospectic, multicentric study aimed at evaluating, in the clinical practice, the relevance of cardiac dysfunction and congestive heart failure (CHF) associated to “free choice”, anthracycline-containing adjuvant regimens and to identify patients at increased cardiac risk. PATIENTS AND METHODS: patients candidate to receive adjuvant anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, will be enrolled in the study. Data on demographic and clinical characteristics of patients (age, cardio-vascular comorbidity) tumor features (TNM, histotype, ER and PgR status, Ki67, and HER2 status), type of adjuvant regimen and tolerability of treatment will be collected and centrally registered at the Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per ***1a Bio-Oncologia (CINBO) using e-CRFs. Data on type, sites and doses of radiotherapy performed will be collected, to evaluate the possible impact on cardiac function. Primary aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of cardiac dysfunction and CHF among the whole population enrolled, particularly according to risk criteria and type of administered chemotherapy. Cardiac dysfunction is defined as limiting cardio-vascular toxicity (≥ Grade 3 dyspnea, arrhytmia, hypertension) and/or asymptomatic LVEF reduction ≥20% (if >50% at the baseline) or ≥10% (if ≤50% at baseline); CHF is defined as clinical diagnosis and/or symptomatic LVEF reduction ≥20% (if >50% at the baseline) or ≥10% (if ≤50% at baseline). Assessment of cardiac risk involves the evaluation of age (< vs ≥ 65 years), cardio-vascular comorbidities (requiring treatment or not) and Left-Ventricular Ejection Fraction LVEF (> vs ≤ 55%) at diagnosis. Clinical and instrumental cardiac evaluation (ECG, Ecocardiography) will be performed at study entry, on-treatment and up to 5 years thereafter. Secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical properness of different adjuvant anthracyclines-containing chemotherapy options, with regard to prevalence of therapeutic regimens, safety, efficacy (DFS and OS) and costs analysis. Cardiac safety and general toxicity on-treatment will be evaluated according to NCI criteria. The expected enrollment is 1,200 patients in 36 months. From September 2010 to May 2011, 7 of the 13 Centers involved in the study are active, with 65 enrolled patients.

Abstract
Shell structure and magic numbers in atomic nuclei were generally explained by pioneering work that introduced a strong spin-orbit interaction to the nuclear shell model potential. However, knowledge of nuclear forces and the mechanisms governing the structure of nuclei, in particular far from stability, is still incomplete. In nuclei with equal neutron and proton numbers (N = Z), enhanced correlations arise between neutrons and protons (two distinct types of fermions) that occupy orbitals with the same quantum numbers. Such correlations have been predicted to favour an unusual type of nuclear superfluidity, termed isoscalar neutron-proton pairing, in addition to normal isovector pairing. Despite many experimental efforts, these predictions have not been confirmed. Here we report the experimental observation of excited states in the N = Z = 46 nucleus (92)Pd. Gamma rays emitted following the (58)Ni((36)Ar,2n)(92)Pd fusion-evaporation reaction were identified using a combination of state-of-the-art high-resolution γ-ray, charged-particle and neutron detector systems. Our results reveal evidence for a spin-aligned, isoscalar neutron-proton coupling scheme, different from the previous prediction. We suggest that this coupling scheme replaces normal superfluidity (characterized by seniority coupling) in the ground and low-lying excited states of the heaviest N = Z nuclei. Such strong, isoscalar neutron-proton correlations would have a considerable impact on the nuclear level structure and possibly influence the dynamics of rapid proton capture in stellar nucleosynthesis.

Abstract
536 Background: The combination of low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) and 13-cis retinoic acid (RA) has been shown to decrease vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of patients with MCC (Anticancer Res, 2005). Moreover, results of various studies have shown that the addition of IL-2 and RA to chemotherapy (CT) increased treatment efficacy, inducing a statistically significant decrease of VEGF, with a low cost. Methods: Patients with MCC, deemed unresectable, were given the following treatment for two consecutive days (D1-D2): Oxaliplatin 50 mg/m2, Leucovorin (LV), 200 mg/m2, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 400 mg/m2, Capecitabine (C) 2,000 mg/m2 (FOCFOX). After 2 weeks Camptothecin, 90 mg/m2 (D1-D2), was administered with the same doses of LV, 5-FU and C (FOCFIRI) as first-line treatment of MCC. Subcutaneous IL-2 1.8 x 106 I.U. and oral RA, 0.5 mg/kg were given 5 days/week. Induction CT was administered for 12 courses, alternating FOCFOX and FOCFIRI, followed by maintenance treatment with the same schedule of IL-2 + RA, for 3 weeks/month. The primary endpoint was the decrease ≥ 30% of VEGF of patients with MCC. Secondary endpoints were the cost of IL-2 and RA with respect to bevacizumab, toxicity, progression- free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: From 08/2000 to 08/2006, fifty-four patients with MCC were entered into the trial. After a median follow up of 64 months (95% CI 62-85%), a statistically significant > 30% (p<0.001) decrease of VEGF was observed. Costs of therapy were $ 304.00/month for IL-2/RA and $ 1,700.00/month for bevacizumab (82% cost reduction). The most common adverse events of CT were grade 3/4 neutropenia, leukopenia, thrombocythopenia, and anemia in 33%, 9%, 2%, and 2% of patients, respectively, peripheral neuropathy in 10% of patients. Mild cutaneous skin rash, fever and autoimmune reactions were observed in the patients who received the maintenance immunotherapy. PFS at 10 months was 76% (95% CI 62-86). Median PFS was 27.8 months, while median OS was 48.8 months. Conclusions: These data show that maintenance immunotherapy with low-dose IL-2 and oral RA in patients with MCC has a low toxicity profile, is cost effective, decrease VEGF and seems to improve expected PFS and OS. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Systematic reviews have found that LH-RH agonists are effective in the treatment of premenopausal women with early breast cancer. In an extended phase II study, 180 premenopausal women with HR-Pre-BC were treated with an LH-RH analogue in order to protect ovaries from the damage of chemotherapy. We hypothesized that the benefits of LH-RH administration could extend, far beyond ovarian protection, to the improvement of immune function and to the decrease of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In fact estradiol (E2) at physiological doses not only expands T regulatory cells (T-regs) in different tissues but also increases expression of the Foxp3 gene, a hallmark for CD4+CD25+ T-reg cell function, and the interleukin-10 gene as well. In addition, recent studies indicate that E2 modulates VEGF expression in breast cancer cells through transcriptional activation.Methods: From 05-1997 to 05-2007 180 patients with HR-Pre-BC were entered into the study. At baseline, one week before chemotherapy, patients received an LH-RH analogue which was continued for five years. Adjuvant chemotherapy was tailored to the peculiar biologic features of each patient, including cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil in 24 patients, an anthracycline and taxane based regimens in 156 patients (40 with positive c-erb-2 tumors). Seventeen patients with > 10 positive axillary lymph nodes and 36 patients with triple negative tumors, received a platinum-based consolidation high-dose chemotherapy with or without autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation, respectively. Radiation therapy was administered to 145 patients. During the 5 years of LH-RH analogue, patients received a strong psychological support, biphosphonates, and after the end of chemotherapy, estrogen receptor positive (ER+) patients received an aromatase inhibitor.Results: Characteristics of patients. The mean patient age was 42 years (range, 26–50 yrs). One hundred-twenty five women were ER+, 55 were estrogen receptor negative (ER-). Total number of positive nodes was 479, with a mean of 2.6 for each patient (range 0-25). UICC stage was II in 114 women and III in 66 women. All patients had their serum E2 suppressed to values < 40 pg/mL. A statistically significant improvement was observed in lymphocyte number (p< 0.005), and a decrease in T-reg number (p< 0.005) and VEGF (p< 0.005) with respect to baseline values, after LH-RH administration. After a median follow-up of 97 months, 10-years overall progression-free survival and overall survival rate were both 83.2% with no statistical significant difference between ER+ and ER- patients.Conclusions: These data show that the administration of an LH-RH analogue improves lymphocyte number, decreases T-regs and VEGF, and seems to improve the expected outcome of HR-Pre-BC patients through immunologic mediated mechanisms.

Abstract
Isospin symmetry breaking has been investigated in mass A=67 mirror nuclei through the experimental determination of the E1 strengths of analog electromagnetic transitions. Lifetimes of excited states have been measured in (67)Se and (67)As with the centroid shift method. Through the comparison of the B(E1) strengths of the mirror 9/2(+)-->7/2(-) transitions, the isovector and the isoscalar components of the electromagnetic transition amplitude were extracted. The presence of a large isoscalar component provides evidence for coherent contributions to isospin mixing, probably involving the isovector giant monopole resonance.
