Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects and postoperative prognostic factors in cervical cancer patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgery and post-operative adjuvant therapy. Methods: A total of 177 patients with cervical cancer at International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰ b2, Ⅱ a2 who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by surgery with and without adjuvant therapy in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were included. Univariate and multivariate analyses of 5-year overall survival (OS) rate and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate were performed. Results: Of 177 patients, 133 (75.1%) had stage Ⅰb2 and 44 (24.9%) had Ⅱa2 cancers. After NACT, overall response rate was 63.3% (112/177) including 12 cases of complete response (CR), 100 of partial response (PR) and no progressive disease (PD) case. At a median follow-up of 59.2 months, the 5-year DFS rate was 73.6% and the 5-year OS rate was 86.8%. Univariate analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis, deep stromal invasion and tumor size after NACT significantly affected 5-year DFS rate (P<0.05). Lymph node metastasis, deep stromal invasion and tumor size after NACT significantly affected 5-year OS rate (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that, stromal invasion (outer 1/3 or outer 1/2) was independent risk factor of 5-year DFS rate (P<0.05), and 5-year OS rate was significantly affected by tumor size >3 cm after NACT (P<0.05). Conclusions: The effect of NACT in Ⅰ b2, Ⅱ a2 squamous carcinoma of the uterined cervix is confirmed. The independent risk factor for 5-year DFS rate in patients received NACT and hysterectomy is deep stromal invasion of the cervix. The presence of tumor size >3 cm after NACT adversely affect 5-year OS rate.

Abstract
With the rapid development of precise radiotherapy technology, the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in gynecological malignant tumor has been gradually increased. IMRT could result in a good local control rate as well as superior clinical outcome in patients with cervical cancer after radical radiotherapy. The recurrence pattern of radiotherapy includes in-field recurrence, out-of-field and combined failure. The recurrence pattern of radical IMRT for cervical cancer is mainly out-of-field recurrence. Out-of-field recurrence may be related to inadequate imaging evaluation before treatment. In-field recurrence may be related to insufficient radiation dose in target area and differences of tumor sensitivity.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of high-risk HPV subtypes in different pathological types of cervical cancer, and analyze the attribution of carcinogenic HPV subtypes in different pathological types. Methods: A total of 1 541 patients with cervical cancer were treated between February 2009 and October 2016 in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. The median age at diagnosis was 49 years (ranged 20-82 years old). The numbers of patients with cervical cancer from North China, Northeast China, East China, Central China and other regions (including Northwest, Southwest and South China) were 961, 244, 175, 87 and 74 cases, respectively. Pathological types: 1 337 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 87 usual adenocarcinoma (ADC), 23 adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC), 20 mucinous carcinoma (MC), 19 clear cell carcinoma (CCC), 12 endometrioid carcinoma (EC), 25 neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), 9 serous carcinoma (SC), 5 villous adenocarcinoma (VADC) and 4 minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDAC). The prevalence of high-risk HPV in different regions, age groups at diagnosis and pathological types in cervical cancer were analyzed. The attribution of 13 high-risk HPV subtypes in different pathological types of cervical cancer based on proportional attribution method, and the attribution of high-risk HPV subtypes prevented by 9-valent HPV vaccine in SCC and ADC were calculated. Results: (1) The prevalence of high-risk HPV in 1 541 patients with cervical cancer was 86.6% (1 335/1 541). The multiple high-risk HPV infection rate in patients with SCC ≥60 years old (23.0%, 37/161) was significantly higher than those in patients aged 45-59 years old and ≤44 years old [11.4% (85/747) vs 11.7% (50/429), P<0.01], and the high-risk HPV infection rates of patients with cervical cancer in North China, Northeast China, East China, Central China and other regions were respectively 86.8% (834/961), 87.7% (214/244), 83.4% (146/175), 83.9% (73/87) and 91.9% (68/74). SCC (86.8%, 1 337/1 541) and ADC (5.6%, 87/1 541) were the most common pathological types in cervical cancer. The high-risk HPV prevalence of SCC, ADC, ASC, MC, NEC and VADC were 90.1% (1 205/1 337), 74.7% (65/87), 87.0% (20/23), 65.0% (13/20), 72.0% (18/25) and 5/5 respectively. The high-risk HPV infection rates of SC, EC, CCC and MDAC were 4/9, 3/12, 2/19 and 0/4 respectively. (2) According to proportional attribution, HPV 16 (69.5%), HPV 18 (5.6%), HPV 58 (2.2%), HPV 31 (1.9%), HPV 52 (1.4%) and HPV 33 (1.3%) were the six common high-risk HPV subtypes in SCC. While, HPV 18 (44.1%), HPV 16 (20.5%), HPV 52 (2.3%), HPV 58 (1.2%) and HPV 51 (1.2%) were the main carcinogenic subtypes in ADC. The main carcinogenic high-risk HPV subtypes of ASC, NEC and MC were HPV 18 and HPV 16. The total attribution of HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 prevented by 9-valent HPV vaccine in SCC and ADC were 82.6% and 68.1% respectively; the attribution of HPV 45 in SCC and ADC were only 0.8% and 0. Conclusions: SCC and ADC are the main pathological types in cervical cancer. SCC, ADC, ASC, MC, NEC and VADC are closely related to high-risk HPV infection. HPV 16 is the main carcinogenic genotypes of SCC. HPV 18 maybe play an important role in the pathogenesis of ADC.

Abstract
Controversy remains over whether random cervical biopsies and endocervical curettage (ECC) should be used in women with positive screening but negative colposcopy. Our paper aims to determine the indications for random biopsies and ECC among these screened positive women.Three thousand two hundred thirteen women with any positive screening test result but negative colposcopy, who received random 4-quadrant biopsies, were pooled from 17 population-based cervical cancer screening studies done in China from 1999 to 2008. The detection rates of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) and CIN grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) stratified by cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) status were assessed, as well as the false negative rates for CIN2+ and CIN3+ by random biopsies without ECC.Compared with women with negative cytology and positive HR-HPV, those with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance/low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-US/LSIL) and negative HR-HPV had the equivalent lower risks of CIN2+ and CIN3+, but ascending risks were observed in the groups of ASC-US/LSIL and positive HR-HPV, and atypical glandular cells/atypical squamous cells cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion/high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or worse (AGC/ASC-H/HSIL+). If random biopsies were only taken without ECC, 9.3% of CIN2+ and 18.5% of CIN3+ would have been missed.For women with any positive screening but negative colposcopy, in areas with good cytological infrastructure, it was necessary to perform random biopsies plus ECC on those with cytological ASC-US/LSIL and positive HR-HPV, AGC, ASC-H, or HSIL+. In contrast, those with other results should be followed up.

Abstract
Gd2MoO6:RE(3+) (RE=Eu or Sm) and Gd2MoO6:Bi(3+), RE(3+) (RE=Eu or Sm) phosphors have been synthesized by combustion method. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. By introducing Bi(3+) ions into Gd2MoO6:RE(3+) (RE=Eu or Sm) phosphors, the excitation bands of Eu(3+) and Sm(3+) ions are broadened and shifted to short wavelength, meanwhile, the emission intensity are enhanced obviously. The energy transfer from Bi(3+) to the activators of Eu(3+) or Sm(3+) is observed and discussed. In addition, the process of ultraviolet light (250-400nm) converted into visible light can be achieved by using Gd2MoO6:Bi(3+), RE(3+) (RE=Eu or Sm) phosphor. These phosphors can be a promising ultraviolet-absorbing luminescent converter to enhance the photoelectrical conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor intrinsic chemoradiotherapy resistance is the primary factor in concomitant chemoradiotherapy failure in advanced uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma. This study aims to identify a set of genes and molecular pathways related to this condition. METHODS Forty patients with uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIb or IIIb, treated with platinum-based concomitant chemoradiotherapy between May 2007 and December 2012, were enrolled in this trial. Patients included chemoradiotherapy resistant (n = 20) and sensitive (n = 20) groups. Total RNA was extracted from fresh tumor tissues obtained by biopsy before treatment and microarray analysis was performed to identify genes differentially expressed between the two groups. RESULTS Microarray analysis identified 108 genes differentially expressed between concomitant chemoradiotherapy resistant and sensitive patients. Functional pathway cluster analysis of these genes revealed that DNA damage repair, apoptosis, cell cycle, Map kinase signal transduction, anaerobic glycolysis and glutathione metabolism were the most relevant pathways. Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) and protein kinase A type 1A (PRKAR1A) were significantly upregulated in the chemoradiosensitive group, while lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), bcl2 antagonist/killer 1 (BAK1), bcl2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase 1 (SMUG1), and cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) were upregulated in the chemoradiotherapy resistant group. CONCLUSION We have identified seven genes that are differentially expressed in concomitant chemoradiotherapy resistant and sensitive uterine cervical squamous cell carcinomas, which may represent primary predictors for this condition.

Abstract
The phosphors of Y2WO6:Bi3+, Ln3+ (Ln=Dy, Eu and Sm) were synthesized by solid-state reaction in this study. The crystal structure, photoluminescence properties and energy transfer mechanism were investigated. By introducing Bi3+ ions, the excitation band of the phosphors was broadened to be 250-380 nm, which could be absorbed by the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The overlap between excitation of W-O groups/Bi3+ and the emission of Ln3+ (Dy, Eu, and Sm) indicated that the probability of energy transfer from W-O groups and Bi3+ to Ln3+. The energy transfer efficiency from Bi3+ to Ln3+ (Ln=Dy, Eu and Sm) are calculated to be 16%, 20% and 58%. This work suggested that Y2WO6:Bi3+, Ln3+ (Ln=Dy, Eu and Sm) might be a promising ultraviolet-absorbing luminescent converter to enhance the photoelectrical conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the radiotherapy modality progress of stageIIb-IIIb cervical stump cancer. METHODS The clinical data of 13 patients with stageIIb-IIIb cervical stump cancer undergoing radiotherapy from January 2000 to April 2012 was reviewed. Before 2006, 8 patients received conventional external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy.Since 2006, 5 patients received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and brachytherapy. RESULTS The median survival was 12-139 months. The median overall survivals and disease free survivals in the conventional radiotherapy (CRT) group were 57 months and 50 months, 3 cases of them recurred during 8-19 months and died of tumor progression.While, the median overall survivals and disease free survival in the IMRT group both were 21 months and nobody recurred. In the CRT group, 7 patients suffered toxicities, including 5 patients grade I-II acute rectum reaction, 2 patients grade I bladder reaction; and 3 had grade I-III, late rectum reaction, 2 patients for grade II bladder late reaction.In the IMRT group, toxicities including 1 case grade I acute or late rectum reaction, and no bladder reaction. CONCLUSION In our experience, the recommended IMRT and interstitial brachytherapy for the selected patients with advanced cervical stump carcinoma may be obtain better tumor dose distribution and more sparing of the organ at risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical significance and management of ASCUS/LSIL. METHODS 254 patients who were examined with cervical cytology in the Cancer Institute and Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were ASCUS/LSIL, of whom 136 cases underwent colposcopy, Data were analyzed retrospectively according to the golden criterion of pathology outcome. RESULTS 140 cases were ASCUS, and 114 cases were LSIL. Cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) were diagnosed in 51.5% of patients with ASCUS, compared with 59.6% of patients with LSIL (P>0.05). High-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were diagnosed in 22.9% of patients with ASCUS, compared with 30.7% of patients with LSIL (P >0.05). In the 136 patients examined with colposcopy, inflammation was found in 47 cases, low-grade intraepithelial lesion in 53 cases, High-grade intraepithelial lesion in 36 cases. The pathological results show inflammation in 55 cases, low-grade intraepithelial lesion in 41 cases, High-grade intraepithelial lesion in 40 cases (Kappa=0.314, U=0.064, P less than 0.05). CIN were diagnosed in 79% (67/84) of HPV-positive patients identified by pathology, compared with 43.5% (74/170) of HPV-negative patients (chi2=29.88 P less than 0.05). 83.5% of 254 patients were between 35 to 55 years old, and that was consistent with HPV-positive women age peak. CONCLUSION Patients with ASCUS should be paid the same attention with LSIL patients and colposcopy examination should be done immediately to avoid missed diagnosis and missed follow-up examination, especially for HPV positive patients between 35 to 55 years old.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the relative importance of colposcopically directed biopsy, random biopsy, and endocervical curettage (ECC) in diagnosing > or =cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) II. Study design During a screening study, 364 women with satisfactory colposcopy and > or =CIN II were diagnosed. All colposcopically detected lesions were biopsied. If colposcopy showed no lesion in a cervical quadrant, a random biopsy was obtained at the squamocolumnar junction in that quadrant. ECC was then performed. RESULTS The diagnosis of > or =CIN II was made on a colposcopically directed biopsy in 57.1%, random biopsy in 37.4%, and ECC in 5.5% of women. The yield of > or =CIN II for random biopsy when cytology was high grade (17.6%) exceeded that when cytology was low grade (2.8%). One of 20 women diagnosed solely by ECC had invasive cancer. CONCLUSION Even when colposcopy is satisfactory, ECC should be performed. If cytology is high grade, random biopsies should be considered.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of a new method for self-sampling for high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) with direct sampling and liquid based cervical cytology. In Shanxi Province, China, 8,497 women (ages 27-56) underwent a self-sample for HPV using a conical-shaped brush placed into the upper vagina and rotated. Three to sixteen months later the women were screened with liquid-based cytology and direct HPV tests. Subjects with any abnormal test underwent colposcopy and multiple biopsies. Mean age was 40.9 years. 4.4 percent of subjects had >or=CIN II, 26% a positive self-sample and 24% a positive direct test for HPV. The sensitivity for detection of >or=CIN II was 87.5% for self-sampling, and 96.8% for the direct test (P < 0.001). The specificity was 77.2% for the self-sample and 79.7% for the direct test. With an abnormal Pap defined as ASCUS or greater the sensitivity of the Pap for the detection of >CIN II was 88.3% and the specificity was 81.2%. We conclude that self-sampling for HPV is less sensitive for >CIN II than the direct test, but similar to liquid based cytology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Epithelial ovarian cancer is moderate sensitivity to chemotherapy; the survival has been improved by aggressive cytoreductive surgery followed by combination chemotherapy with cisplatin-based regimen.However,there is a controversy about chemotherapeutic sensitivity of its lymph node metastasis. This study was designed to evaluate chemotherapeutic sensitivity and prognosis of lymph node metastases in epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS The authors retrospectively analyzed 50 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer with lymph node metastases in Cancer Hospital,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College from June 1986 to February 2001, which included 32 cases with stage III-IV, and 18 with recurrent disease. All the 50 patients were with valuable metastatic lymph nodes,and among these patients 38 were also with valuable abdominal-pelvic tumor. Forty-six patients received 1-3 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy,cytoreductive surgery, and postoperative chemotherapy. The response rate was evaluated by the response criteria for solid tumor. The chemotherapy included neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and chemotherapy for patients with residual tumor after operation or recurrence. Forty-five patients received platinum-based chemotherapy regimens [including CP (cyclophosphamide+cisplatin), CAP (cyclophosphamide+epirubicin+cisplatin), TC (paclitaxel+carboplatin), TP (paclitaxel+cisplatin), cisplatin+mitomycin+vincristine+etoposide+carboplatin, gemcitabine+carboplatin,IEP(ifosphamide+etoposide+cisplatin regimens) and 1 patient received melphalan, 1 patient with CF(cyclophosphamide+5-fluorouracil)regimen, 3 patients with ifosphamide+etoposide. RESULTS The overall response rates of lymph node metastasis and abdominal-pelvic tumor were 68.0% and 71.1%, respectively (P >0.05). The response rates of lymph node metastasis and abdominal-pelvic tumor for stage III-IV were 78.1% and 76.7%, respectively (P >0.05); both were 50% for recurrent patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. CONCLUSION Either in stage III-IV or in recurrent patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, chemotherapeutic sensitivity of lymph node metastasis was similar to that of abdominal and pelvic tumor. The prognosis was related to the optimality of cytoreductive surgery, and the intensity of chemotherapy.

Abstract
From August of 1995 through July of 1998, 38 free anterolateral thigh flaps were transferred to reconstruct soft-tissue defects. The overall success rate was 97 percent. Among 38 anterolateral thigh flaps, four were elevated as cutaneous flaps based on the septocutaneous perforators. The other 34 were harvested as myocutaneous flaps including a cuff of vastus lateralis muscle (15 to 40 cm3), either because of bulk requirements (33 cases) or because of the absence of a septocutaneous perforator (one case). However, vastus lateralis muscle is the largest compartment of the quadriceps, which is the prime extensor of the knee. Losing a portion of the vastus lateralis muscle may affect knee stability. Objective functional assessments of the donor sites were performed at least 6 months postoperatively in 20 patients who had a cuff of vastus lateralis muscle incorporated as part of the myocutaneous flap; assessments were made using a kinetic communicator machine. The isometric power test of the ratios of quadriceps muscle at 30 and 60 degrees of flexion between donor and normal thighs revealed no significant difference (p > 0.05). The isokinetic peak torque ratio of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles, including concentric and eccentric contraction tests, showed no significant difference (p > 0.05), except the concentric contraction test of the quadriceps muscle, which revealed mild weakness of the donor thigh (p < 0.05). In summary, the functional impairment of the donor thighs was minimal after free anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap transfer.

Abstract
In this paper we perform a statistical study of the conventional RR intervals and two newly defined PR' and RT intervals of ECG data. A quadratic classification rule is applied to extract several important ECG diagnosis-aiding indices among normal children and children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) with or without congestive heart failure (CHF). The results show that certain statistics computed from PR', RR and RT intervals are important diagnosis-aiding indices. Best classification vectors are searched for pairwise classification. Two methods, minimum distance criterion and a two-stage classification procedure, are considered for three-way classification. Furthermore, logistic regression models based on transformations of these important diagnosis-aiding indices are proposed. The receiver operating characteristic curves of the proposed models show better performance than those of linear and quadratic logistic models. In order to proceed with this study, a computer algorithm to automatically detect the three intervals is developed and the related ECG data are collected and analysed. The algorithm is also enhanced with an outlier detection procedure for the automatic measurements of the PR' and RT intervals.

Abstract
1-Methylpyrrolidine-2-acetic acid and related compounds were studied as precursors in the biosynthesis of the tropane alkaloids in Erythroxylum coca and Datura innoxia. (R,S)-[1',2-(13)C2,2-(14)C,(15)N]-1-methylpyrrolidine-2- acid, (R,S)-[1',2'-(13)C2,1'-(14)C]-1-methylpyrrolidine-2-acetic acid, (R,S) [1',2'-(13)C2,1-(14)C]-1-methylpyrrolidine-2-acetate, and (R,S)-+2'-(14)C] methylpyrrolidine-2-acetic acid N-acetylcysteamine thioester were synthesized an intact plants by leaf-planting or hydroponic-feeding. Specific incorporation of compounds into ( - )-hyoscyamine, ( - )-scopolamine, ( - )-cocaine and the biosynthetically related cuscohygrine were very low. These results indicate that 1-methylpyrrolidine acid is not an efficient precursor of tropane alkaloids.

Abstract
Blood coagulation Factor X is a serine protease required for both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of coagulation. The gene for Factor X spans 27 kilobases and is located on chromosome 13, in close proximity to the gene encoding Factor VII. Expression of Factor X is restricted to the liver. We have characterized the human Factor X promoter by mapping the start sites of transcription and carrying out a functional analysis of the promoter. The first 279 base pairs (bp) of 5'-flanking sequence upstream from the first AUG are sufficient to confer maximal promoter activity in HepG2 cells. Protein-binding sites within the 279-bp fragment are defined using gel mobility shift assays. Mutagenesis of two specific sequences within the 279-bp fragment (CCAAT at -120 to -116, and ACTTTG at -56 to -51), results in loss of ability to bind proteins from a HepG2 nuclear extract, and profound reduction in promoter activity of the 279-bp fragment. We conclude that these two protein-binding sites are critical for the activity of the Factor X promoter.

Abstract
Factor IX Hilo is a variant factor IX molecule that has no detectable coagulant activity. The defect in factor IX Hilo arises from a point mutation in the gene such that in the protein Arg180 is converted to a Gln. Activation of factor IX Hilo by factor Xla was monitored using the fluorescent active site probe p-aminobenzamidine. Normal factor IX showed complete activation in one hour as determined by measuring the increase in fluorescence when p-aminobenzamidine bound to activated factor IX. Factor IX Hilo showed no increase in fluorescence even after 24 hours, indicating that the active site was not exposed. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that factor IX Hilo was cleaved to a light chain plus a larger peptide with a molecular weight equivalent to a heavy chain covalently linked to an activation peptide. Amino terminal amino acid sequencing of factor IX Hilo cleaved by factor Xla showed cleavage only at Arg145-Ala146, indicating that the Gln180-Val181 bond was not cleaved and that the active site was thus not exposed. The presence of factor IX Hilo in patient plasma was responsible for the patient having a very long ox brain prothrombin time characteristic of severe hemophilia Bm. Patient plasma had an ox brain prothrombin time of 100 seconds using a Thrombotest kit, significantly prolonged over the normal control value of 45 seconds. When factor IX Hilo was depleted from patient plasma using an immunoaffinity column, the ox brain prothrombin time decreased to 41 seconds. When factor IX Hilo was added back to depleted patient plasma, to normal plasma depleted of factor IX by the same affinity column, or to plasma from a CRM- hemophilia B patient, the ox brain prothrombin time was significantly prolonged. We conclude that the Arg180 to Gln mutation in factor IX Hilo results in a molecule that cannot be activated by factor Xla. Further, our data suggest that the mutation results in a molecule that interacts with components of the extrinsic pathway to give a prolonged ox brain prothrombin time.

Abstract
A genomic DNA library and the enzymatic DNA amplification technique were used to isolate human factor IX coding sequences of a hemophilia Bm variant, factor IXHilo. A point mutation that resulted in the substitution of a glutamine (CAG) for an arginine (CGG) at amino acid 180 was found in exon VI of the factor IX gene (G----A at nucleotide 20519). This mutation alters the carboxy terminal cleavage site for the activation peptide at Arg180-Val181. The arginine residue at the activation peptide cleavage site is conserved in mouse, canine, bovine, and human factor IX, suggesting that the arginine at amino acid 180 is important for normal cleavage. Sequencing of all of the coding regions of factor IXHilo revealed no other mutations. We have also shown that the point mutation in exon VI creates a new Dde I restriction site, which, in combination with the enzymatic DNA amplification technique, provides a quick, reliable, and sensitive method for carrier detection and antenatal diagnosis in affected kindreds. This is the first report of the molecular defect in a hemophilia Bm patient with a markedly prolonged ox brain prothrombin time.

Abstract
Our experience with lung resection in fifty patients with metastatic sarcoma is presented. Seventeen patients underwent lung resection for solitary lung metastasis and thirty-three had multiple metastases. The overall estimated median survival of the patients was 22.2 months. Shorter tumor doubling time was found to indicate poor prognosis. The tumor-free interval, length of the waiting period, and the number of metastatic lesions removed did not influence the postoperative survival rate. Surgical therapy of solitary as well as multiple metastatic sarcoma of the lung appears to produce acceptable therapeutic results.

Abstract
Osteogenic sarcoma, excluding the paraosteal osteosarcoma, has a grave prognosis, half of the patients dying within 1 year following ablative surgery of the primary lesion. Once pulmonary metastasis is detected, most patients do not survive more than 3 years. Various attempts by investigators to prolong patient survival, including surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and combined modalities, have met with some success. This report is a summary of 13 patients who underwent lung resections and received adjuvant chemo- and/or immunotherapy for metastatic osteogenic sarcoma in our intstitute in the past 7 years.

Abstract
Hexamethylmelamine (HXM) is one of the substituted melamines derived from cyanuric chloride [1]. Previous studies with HXM have shown activity against small cell carcinoma of the lung, when it was given as a single agent [2, 3]. Because of relatively mild bone marrow toxicity, HXM was subsequently given in combination with other drugs and/or radiation therapy, in order to improve the therapeutic results. In this paper, our experience with HXM in treatment of small cell carcinoma of the lung is summarised.
