Abstract
This article proposes a novel cancer-targeting drug-delivery system based on angiogenesis, in which the enzymatic activity of type IV collagenases is used to cleave the inactive drug conjugate, thereby activating drug fragments. In this study, the amount and distribution of metalloprotease (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 secreted from Lewis lung carcinoma (LCC) cells and the formation of blood vessels were evaluated by gelatin zymography, in situ film zymography and immunostaining. LLC cells secreted MMP-2 and MMP-9, thereby distributing large amounts of MMPs around a solid tumor. The newly developed blood vessels were also found in a solid LLC tumor. The anticancer drug conjugate (mPEG-GPLGV-DOX) was synthesized by conjugating doxorubicin with Gly-Pro-Leu-Gly-Val (GPLGV) peptide and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (mPEG). GPLGV pentapeptide was used as a substrate for MMP-2 and MMP-9, where the cleavage of Gly-Val bond by MMP was expected. In addition, mPEG was grafted to peptide-doxorubicin conjugate to increase the circulation time in the body and to reduce the cytotoxicity of the anticancer drug. The mPEG-GPLGV-DOX conjugate formed a micelle structure in aqueous solution, with a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of about 0.25 mg/ml and a diameter of 73.1 +/- 12.7 nm at 1 mg/ml. In an in vivo experiment, mPEG-GPLGV-DOX showed 20% chemotherapeutic activity compared with free doxorubicin. Although a 50 mg/kg dose of mPEG-GPLGV-DOX showed similar therapeutic effects to a 10 mg/kg dose of doxorubicin, the life span of mice in the conjugate group was significantly increased. Therefore, an efficient anticancer drug-delivery system could be created by increasing therapeutic efficiency and decreasing drug-toxicity by optimizing the degradation rate of the peptide link by MMP and circulation time in the body.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) trapezium models from Homo sapiens, Gorilla gorilla, Pan troglodytes, Australopithecus afarensis (A.L.333-80), and Homo habilis (O.H.7-NNQ) were acquired through laser digitizing. Least-square planes were generated for each articular surface, and the angles between the planes were compared. Each extant species displays an overall pattern that distinguishes it from the others. The observed angles in G. gorilla and P. troglodytes are more similar to one other than either is to H. sapiens. Our results, obtained from using new 3D modeling and analytical tools, raise interesting questions about the functional capabilities of the fossil trapezia. Multivariate statistical analyses indicate that A.L.333-80 is morphologically more similar to that of modern humans, whereas the O.H.7 trapezium is more similar to that of the gorilla. Significant differences between A.L.333-80 and the extant species occur, but some similarities to humans suggest the ability to form the distinctively human forceful pad-to-side and three-jaw chuck grips. Some key morphological differences from humans highlighted and quantified by our research suggest limitations in the functional capabilities of the O.H.7 trapezium, particularly in those that facilitate pronation at the base of the second metacarpal. If the O.H.7 trapezium represents part of the hand responsible for manufacturing and using the stone tools found at Olduvai, our results suggest that the hand manipulated the stones in a way for which we have no modern analog. Alternative considerations are that the O.H.7 trapezium is not representative of other trapezia from its species (i.e., N=1), or that it represents another primate or hominid species.

Abstract
Cytotoxic lipid peroxides such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) are produced when cells are exposed to toxic chemicals. However, the mechanism by which HNE induces cell death has been poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of HNE-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells by measuring the activities of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases involved in early signal transduction pathways. Within 15-30 min after HNE treatment, c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) was maximally activated, before returning to control level after 1 h post-treatment. In contrast, activities of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 MAP kinase remained unchanged from their basal levels. SEK1, an upstream kinase of JNK, was also activated (phosphorylated) within 5 min after HNE treatment and remained activated for up to 60 min. Marked activation of the JNK pathway through SEK1 was demonstrated by the transient transfection of cDNA for wild type SEK1 and JNK into COS-7 cells. Furthermore, significant reductions in JNK activation and HNE-induced cell death were observed when the dominant negative mutant of SEK1 was co-transfected with JNK. Pretreatment of PC12 cells with a survival promoting agent, 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP, prevented both the HNE-induced JNK activation and apoptosis. Nonaldehyde, a nontoxic aldehyde, caused neither apoptosis nor JNK activation. Pretreatment of PC12 cells with SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, had no effect on HNE-induced apoptosis. All these data suggest that the HNE-mediated apoptosis of PC12 cells is likely to be mediated through the selective activation of the SEK1-JNK pathway without activation of ERK or p38 MAP kinase.

Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the mutagenic potential of recombinant antihemophilic factor VIII (GC-gamma AHF). Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) reversion assay with/without histidine moiety, chromosomal aberration assay on Chinese hamster lung (CHL) fibroblast cells and in vivo micronucleus assay using mouse bone marrow cells and supravital micronucleus assay using peripheral blood were performed. GC-gamma AHF containing histidine did show inconsistent and irregular mutagenic effects on S. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 both in the absence and presence of the metabolic activation system, however, GC-gamma AHF without histidine showed no mutagenic effects regardless of the metabolic activation system, thus suggesting that the histidine moiety in GC-gamma AHF might cause inconsistent mutagenic effect. Also GC-gamma AHF did not increase the number of cells having structural or numerical chromosome aberration in the cytogenetic test. In classical and supravital micronucleus assay, no significant increases were observed in the occurrence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes and micronucleated peripheral lymphocytes in male ICR mice. These results strongly indicate that GC-gamma AHF has no genetic toxicity under these experimental conditions.

Abstract
Although human immunodeficiency viruses 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) share mode of transmission, their epidemiologic characteristics differ and international spread of HIV-2 has been limited. To investigate the extent of HIV-2 infection in South Korea and to clarify the characteristic of HIV-2 isolates, we describe epidemiological, serological and genetic analyses of five HIV-2 isolates from South Korea. Five of 964 HIV antibody-positive serum specimens showed positive reactivity by HIV1/2 enzyme immunoassay (EIA), HIV-2 Western blot analysis, HIV-2 particle agglutination (PA) test and line immunoassay (LIA) but negative or indeterminate one by HIV-1 PA test and HIV-1 Western blot analysis. To confirm HIV-2 infection by genetic analysis, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed on five HIV-2 seropositive samples. PCR products from gag (197 bp) and env gene regions (137 bp) were obtained with three of the five samples with HIV-2 specific gag primers and with all the five samples with env primers. To obtain larger sequences for a more comprehensive phylogenetic analysis, we performed PCR for a 1191 bp env region of HIV-2 but only two such products were obtained. For the phylogenetic analysis, three 197 bp gag and two 1191 bp env PCR products were cloned and sequenced. Based on the gag and env sequences alignments, three isolates (KR4063, KR7051 and KR8091) were clustered phylogenetically within HIV-2 subtype A. In conclusion, HIV-2 virus is present in South Korea and was detected in five subjects. Furthermore, the prevalence of HIV-2 infection should be monitored continuously in South Korea to assess the spread of this virus and to assist in the diagnosis of HIV infection.

Abstract
Although the issue of uncompensated care (bad debt plus charity care) has been actively debated in the public arena, there has been little discussion of the bad debt issue alone. This issue is important since issues of bad debt, charity care and uncompensated care are significantly different from each other. Based on 1992 State of Missouri data, the results of our study indicate that more efficient hospitals (measured by occupancy rate), hospitals with more patients covered by prospective payment systems (measured by Medicare discharges), and for-profit hospitals incurred significantly less bad debt cost than other hospitals. However, the difference in bad debt between for-profit hospitals and not-for-profit hospitals is dissipated when using a multivariate statistical model. In addition, this study also reveals that hospitals which provide more charity care have the lowest bad debt costs. Policy implications are also discussed.

Abstract
The dramatic increase in Asian Pacific Americans has created a different set of social, economic and health issues for the country as well as for this state. Asian Pacific Americans are extremely heterogeneous and bipolar in socioeconomic status and health issues. Asian Pacific Islander Americans come from over 43 countries and speak over 100 languages and dialects. This study reveals that in this state, 23% of Asian Pacific American households are linguistically isolated. Almost 20% of Asian Pacific American families (married couples with children under 5 years old) have an income below the poverty line. The need for severe mental health service is four times higher for southeast Asian refugees than the overall population. The death rates from communicable disease and suicide are lowest for Asian Pacific Americans, and for Asian Pacific Americans, the age-adjusted death rates are widely different. For example, people with Hawaiian background appear to have a high incidence of death from heart disease (363.3 per 100,000) whereas Chinese experienced a higher incidence of death from cancer (70.2 per 100,000). The Asian Pacific Americans have the lowest infant mortality rate. This paper suggests that providers, educators and legislators should pay more attention to Asian Pacific American communities regarding socioeconomic and health care needs to create a healthy and productive community.
