Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastro-jejunostomy (GJ) after pylorus-resecting pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is most commonly performed in a hand-sewn fashion. Intestinal stapled anastomosis are reported to be as effective as hand-sewn in terms of patency and risk of leakage in other indications. However, the use of a stapled gastro-jejunostomy hasn't been fully assessed in PD. The aim of the present technical report is to evaluate functional outcomes of stapled GJ during PD, its associated effect on operative time and related complications. METHODS The institutional database for pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma (PDAC) was retrospectically reviewed. Pylorus resecting open PD without vascular or multivisceral resections were considered for the analysis. The incidence of clinically significant delayed gastric emptying (DGE from the International Stufy Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) grade B and C), other complications, operative time and overall hospitalization were evaluated. RESULTS Over a 10-years study period, 1182 PD for adenocarcinoma were performed and recorded in the database. 243 open Whipple procedures with no vascular and with no associated multivisceral resections were available and constituted the study population. Hand-sewn (HS) anastomosis was performed in 175 (72 %), stapled anastomosis (St) in 68 (28 %). No significant differences in baseline characteristics were observed between the two groups, with the exception of a higher rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the HS group (74 % St vs. 86 % HS, p = 0.025). Intraoperatively, a significantly reduced median operative time in the St group was observed (248 min St vs. 370 mins HS, p < 0.001). Post-operatively, rates of clinically relevant delayed gastric emptying (7 % St vs. 14 % HS, p = 0.140), clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (10 % St, 15 % HS, p = 0.300), median length of stay (7 days for each group, p = 0.289), post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (4.4 % St vs. 6.3 % HS, p = 0.415) and complication rate (22 % St vs. 34 % HS, p = 0.064) were similar between groups. However, readmission rates were significantly lower after St GJ (13.2 % St vs 29.7 % HS, p = 0.008). CONCLUSION Our results indicate that a stapled GJ anastomosis during a standard Whipple procedure is non-inferior to a hand-sewn GJ, with a comparable rate of DGE and no increase of gastrointestinal related long term complications. Further, a stapled GJ anastomosis might be associated with reduced operative times.

Abstract
PURPOSE In March 2020, a 1-week adjuvant breast radiotherapy schedule, 26 Gy in 5 fractions, was adopted to reduce the risk of COVID19 for staff and patients. This study quantifies acute toxicity rates and the effect on linac capacity. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a report of consecutive patients receiving ultrafractionated breast radiotherapy ( ± sequential boost) Mar-Aug 2020. Virtual consultations assessed acute skin toxicity during treatment and weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 post treatment using CTCAE V5 scoring criteria. The number of linac minutes saved was estimated accounting for boost and DIBH use. RESULTS In total, 128/135 (95%) patients, including 31/33 boost patients, completed at least 3/5 assessments. 0/128 (0%) reported moist desquamation not confined to skin folds or minor bleeding (Grade 3), 41/128 (32%) reported brisk erythema, moist desquamation confined to skin folds or breast swelling (Grade 2), 62/128 (48%) reported faint erythema or dry desquamation (Grade 1) as their worst skin toxicity, with the remaining 20% reporting no skin toxicity. The highest prevalence of grade 2 toxicity occurred week 1 following treatment (20%), reducing to 3% by week 4. There was no difference in toxicity between those who received a boost versus not (p = 1.00). Delivering this schedule to 135 patients over six months saved 21,300 linac minutes and 1485 hospital visits compared to a 3-week schedule. CONCLUSION Rapidly implementing ultrahypofractionated breast radiotherapy is feasible and acute toxicity rates are acceptable even when followed by boost.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of the study were to identify predictors of locoregional failure (LRF) following surgery for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, develop a prediction risk score model of LRF and evaluate the impact of postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) on LRF. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on patients with stages I-III pancreatic adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery at our institution (2005-2016). Univariable and then multivariable analyses were used to evaluate clinicopathological factors associated with LRF for patients who did not receive PORT. The risk score of LRF was calculated based on the sum of coefficients of the predictors of LRF. The model was applied to the entire cohort to evaluate the impact of PORT on the high- and low-risk groups for LRF. RESULTS In total, 467 patients were identified (median follow-up 22 months). Among patients who did not receive PORT (n = 440), predictors of LRF were pN+, involved or close ≤1 mm margin(s), moderately and poorly differentiated tumour grade and lymphovascular invasion. After adding patients who received PORT, the 2-year LRF in the high-risk group was 57% for patients who did not receive PORT (n = 242) and 32% among patients who received PORT (n = 22), with an absolute benefit to LRF of 25% (95% confidence interval 5-52%, P = 0.07). The 2-year overall survival for the high-versus the low-risk group was 36% versus 67% (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION This risk group classification could be used to identify pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients with higher risk of LRF who may benefit from PORT. However, validation and prospective evaluation are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-operative pain management is a critical component of perioperative care. Patients at risk of poorly controlled post-operative pain may benefit from early measures to optimize pain management. We sought to identify risk factors for post-operative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing liver resection. METHODS This is a multi-institutional prospective nested cohort study of patients undergoing open liver resection. Opioid consumption and pain scores were collected following surgery. To estimate the effects of patient factors on opioid consumption (oral morphine equivalents-OME) and on pain scores (NRS-11), we used generalized linear models and multivariable linear regression model, respectively. RESULTS One hundred and fifty-three patients who underwent open liver resection between 2013 and 2016 were included in the study. The mean patient age was 62.2 years, and 43.3% were female. Younger patients were significantly more likely to use more opioids in the early post-operative period (16.7 OME/10 years, p < 0.001). Patient factors that were significantly associated with increased NRS-11 pain scores also included younger patient age (difference in pain score of 0.3/10 years with cough and 0.2/10 years at rest, p < 0.01 for both) as well as a history of analgesic use (difference in pain score of 0.9 with cough and 0.6 at rest, p < 0.01 and p = 0.07, respectively). CONCLUSION Younger patients and those with a history of analgesic use are more likely to report higher post-operative pain and require higher doses of opioids. Early identification of these patients, and measures to better manage their pain, may contribute to optimal perioperative care.

Abstract
Background: Lifestyle interventions have been shown to delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes among high risk adults. A better understanding of the variability in physiological responses would support the matching of individuals with the best type of intervention in future prevention programmes, in order to optimize risk reduction. The purpose of this study was to determine if phenotypic characteristics at baseline or following a 12 weeks lifestyle intervention could explain the inter-individual variability in change in glucose tolerance in individuals with high risk for type 2 diabetes. Methods: In total, 285 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT, FINDRISC score > 12), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were recruited for a 12 weeks lifestyle intervention. Glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, anthropometric characteristics and aerobic fitness were measured. Variability of responses was examined by grouping participants by baseline glycemic status, by cluster analysis based on the change in glucose tolerance and by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Results: In agreement with other studies, the mean response to the 12 weeks intervention was positive for the majority of parameters. Overall, 89% improved BMI, 80% waist circumference, and 81% body fat while only 64% improved fasting plasma glucose and 60% 2 h glucose. The impact of the intervention by glycaemic group did not show any phenotypic differences in response between NGT, IFG, and IGT. A hierarchical cluster analysis of change in glucose tolerance identified four sub-groups of "responders" (high and moderate) and "non-responders" (no response or deteriorated) but there were few differences in baseline clincal and physiological parameters or in response to the intervention to explain the overall variance. A further PCA analysis of 19 clinical and physiological univariables could explain less than half (48%) of total variability. Conclusion: We found that phenotypic characteristics from standard clinical and physiological parameters were not sufficient to account for the inter-individual variability in glucose tolerance following a 12 weeks lifestyle intervention in inidivuals at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Further work is required to identify biomarkers that complement phenotypic traits and better predict the response to glucose tolerance.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-five consecutive patients who underwent pre-hepatectomy gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between October 2010 and December 2013 were included. The relative liver enhancement (RLE) of gadoxetic acid was calculated from regions of interest on MRI, and FLR ratios were obtained from computed tomography (CT). PHLF and OMC were defined by the International Study Group of Liver Surgery criteria and Clavien-Dindo grade of ≥3, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression modelling was performed to identify predictors of PHLF and OMC, including RLE, FLR ratio, age, sex, chemotherapy history, intra-operative blood loss, and intra-operative transfusion. RESULTS Nine patients experienced PHLF and another nine patients experienced OMC. RLE was comparable to the FLR ratio in predicting PHLF (areas under the receiver operating characteristic [AUROC] curves, 0.665 and 0.705), but performed poorly in predicting OMCs (AUROCs, 0.556 and 0.702). Combining all clinical and imaging parameters as predictors yielded the best performing predictive models (AUROCs, 0.875 and 0.742 for PHLF and OMC, respectively). CONCLUSION A model based on clinical parameters, the FLR ratio, and RLE of gadoxetic acid may improve pre-hepatectomy risk assessment.

Abstract
Successful hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy depends on effective pathways of care. Over two decades, we have developed four sequential models of care latterly using a multidisciplinary managed care network to improve HCV testing, care and treatment. This was a cohort study to evaluate the effectiveness of care pathways, carried out using all HCV antibody-positive individuals tested in a geographical region between 1994 and 2014. The study involved 3122 HCV-positive patients. They were divided into four subgroups representing different care pathways defined by their date of HCV antibody diagnosis. The number who accessed treatment services within 1 year of diagnosis increased from 77 of 292 (26.3%) to 521 of 821 (72.9%). The rate of treatment starts within 1 year of diagnosis increased from 6 of 292 (2.0%) to 133 of 821 (16.2%), and the sustained viral response rate improved from 61.6% to 77.4%. All-cause mortality decreased from 232 of 688 (33.7%) in subgroup A to 55 of 1207 (4.5%) in subgroup D, and multivariate analysis showed that pathway type was an independent predictor of mortality irrespective of age, sex, SVR status or HIV co-infection with pathway in D having an odds ratio of 0.53(0.40-0.77; P<.001) compared to pathway in A. At study end, 78% (3122) of an estimated 4000 HCV positive had been diagnosed. In total, 97.5% of HCV caseload was referred to specialist services and 89% attended for assessment. The introduction of a managed care network increased access to care and reduced all-cause mortality.

Abstract
The annual Eastern Canadian Gastrointestinal Cancer Consensus Conference 2016 was held in Montreal, Quebec, 5-7 February. Experts in radiation oncology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, and infectious diseases involved in the management of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies participated in presentations and discussion sessions for the purpose of developing the recommendations presented here. This consensus statement addresses multiple topics: ■ Follow-up and survivorship of patients with resected colorectal cancer■ Indications for liver metastasectomy■ Treatment of oligometastases by stereotactic body radiation therapy■ Treatment of borderline resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer■ Transarterial chemoembolization in hepatocellular carcinoma■ Infectious complications of antineoplastic agents.

Abstract
Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder with a range of cardiovascular, skeletal, craniofacial and cutaneous manifestations. LDS type 4 is caused by mutations in TGFβ ligand 2 (TGFB2) and based on the family pedigrees described to date, appears to have a milder clinical phenotype, often presenting with isolated aortic disease. We sought to investigate its molecular basis in a new pedigree. We identified a missense variant p.(Arg320Cys) (NM_003238.3) in a highly evolutionary conserved region of TGFB2 in a new LDS type 4 pedigree with multiple cases of aortic aneurysms and dissections. There was striking upregulation of TGFB1 and TGFB2 expression on immunofluorescent staining, and western blotting of the aortic tissue from the index case confirming the functional importance of the variant. This case highlights the striking paradox of predicted loss-of-function mutations in TGFB2 causing enhanced TGFβ signaling in this emerging familial aortopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus has been associated with an excess risk of pancreatic cancer, but the magnitude of the risk and the time-risk relationship are unclear, and there is limited information on the role of antidiabetic medications. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed individual-level data from 15 case-control studies within the Pancreatic Cancer Case-Control Consortium, including 8305 cases and 13 987 controls. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were estimated from multiple logistic regression models, adjusted for relevant covariates. RESULTS Overall, 1155 (15%) cases and 1087 (8%) controls reported a diagnosis of diabetes 2 or more years before cancer diagnosis (or interview, for controls), corresponding to an OR of 1.90 (95% confidence interval, CI, 1.72-2.09). Consistent risk estimates were observed across strata of selected covariates, including body mass index and tobacco smoking. Pancreatic cancer risk decreased with duration of diabetes, but a significant excess risk was still evident 20 or more years after diabetes diagnosis (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.03-1.63). Among diabetics, long duration of oral antidiabetic use was associated with a decreased pancreatic cancer risk (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.14-0.69, for ≥15 years). Conversely, insulin use was associated with a pancreatic cancer risk in the short term (OR 5.60, 95% CI 3.75-8.35, for <5 years), but not for longer duration of use (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.53-1.70, for ≥15 years). CONCLUSION This study provides the most definitive quantification to date of an excess risk of pancreatic cancer among diabetics. It also shows that a 30% excess risk persists for more than two decades after diabetes diagnosis, thus supporting a causal role of diabetes in pancreatic cancer. Oral antidiabetics may decrease the risk of pancreatic cancer, whereas insulin showed an inconsistent duration-risk relationship.

Abstract
Despite significant improvements in systemic therapy for patients with colorectal liver metastases (crlms), response rates in the first-line setting are not optimal, and response rates in the second-line setting remain disappointing. Hepatic arterial infusion pump (haip) chemotherapy has been extensively studied in patients with crlms, but it remains infrequently used. We convened an expert panel to discuss the role of haip in the contemporary management of patients with crlm. Using a consensus process, we developed these statements: haip chemotherapy should be given in combination with systemic chemotherapy.haip chemotherapy should be offered in the context of a multidisciplinary program that includes expertise in hepatobiliary surgery, medical oncology, interventional radiology, nursing, and nuclear medicine.haip chemotherapy in combination with systemic therapy should be considered in patients with unresectable crlms who have progressed on first-line systemic treatment. In addition, haip chemotherapy is acceptable as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases.haip chemotherapy is not recommended in the setting of extrahepatic disease outside the context of a clinical trial.haip chemotherapy in combination with systemic therapy is an option for select patients with resected colorectal liver metastases. These consensus statements provide a framework that clinicians who treat patients with crlm can use when considering treatment with haip.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ageing can result in major changes in the composition and metabolic activities of bacterial populations in the large gut and an impaired immune system. AIM To investigate the effects of synbiotic consumption on the colonic microbiota, immune function and health status in older people. METHODS A randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled, 4-week crossover study was carried out, involving 43 older volunteers, using a synbiotic comprising the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum and an inulin-based prebiotic Synergy 1 (SudZucker, Mannheim, Germany). Faecal and blood samples were collected, and clinical status scored at the start, and at 2- and 4-week intervals, with a 4-week washout between each feeding period. Faecal bacteria were determined by fluorescent in situ hybridisation. Short-chain fatty acid concentrations, cytokine production, bowel habit and a range of clinical parameters were measured. RESULTS The synbiotic increased bifidobacterial numbers by 1.4 log units (P < 0.0001) and also increased members of the phyla Actinobacteria and Firmicutes (P = 0.0004, P < 0.0001). Proteobacteria were reduced by 1.0 log units (P < 0.0001). Synbiotic feeding was associated with increased butyrate production (P = 0.0399). The pro-inflammatory response was modified by the synbiotic, with significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α in peripheral blood after 2 and 4 weeks of synbiotic consumption (P = 0.02, P = 0.0406). The synbiotic had no effect on bowel habit or any clinical parameters. CONCLUSION Short-term synbiotic use can be effective in improving the composition and metabolic activities of colonic bacterial communities and immune parameters in older people. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01226212.

Abstract
SUMMARY Barrett's oesophagus (BO) and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are precursors of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC). There is an oesophageal biofilm, which changes in disease, but its role in aetiopathogenesis remains unclear. AIM To define the oesophageal microbiota of patients with GERD, BO and OAC compared with controls and to investigate mucosal responses related to the microbiota. METHODS Cultural analysis identified the dominant bacterial species from a subset of each disease group. Based on this, molecular techniques were used to define the cohort. Host responses were analysed in tissues and co-culture experiments. RESULTS A total of 111 species belonging to 26 genera were isolated. There was a significant decrease in bacterial counts in the GERD and BO groups for all genera except Campylobacter, which colonised GERD and Barrett's patients in increasing numbers. Campylobacter concisus was the dominant species. This relationship was not seen in the cancer group. Significant increases in IL-18 were seen in GERD and BO colonised by Campylobacter. CONCLUSIONS This study defines differences in the oesophageal biofilm in disease states, revealing the emergence of C. concisus as the dominant new colonist in the refluxed oesophagus. We also associate the presence of these bacteria with increased expression of cytokines related to carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Chromogranin A (CGA) is a major secretory protein present in the soluble matrix of chromaffin granules of neuroendocrine cells and tumours, such as phaeochromocytomas. CGA has several functions, some of which may be involved in the distinct phenotypic differences of phaeochromocytomas in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome compared to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2). In this study, we therefore compared tumour and plasma levels of CGA in patients with phaeochromocytoma associated with the two syndromes. We show that phaeochromocytomas from MEN 2 patients express substantially more CGA than tumours from VHL patients at both the mRNA (3-fold greater) and protein (20-fold) level. We further show that relative to increases in plasma catecholamines, patients with phaeochromocytomas associated with MEN 2 have higher plasma concentrations of CGA than those with tumours in VHL syndrome. These data supplement other observations that phaeochromocytomas in VHL compared to MEN 2 patients express lower amounts of catecholamines and other chromaffin granule cargo, such as chromogranin B and neuropeptide Y. Possibly the differences in tumour CGA expression may contribute to differences in secretory vesicle formation and secretion in the two types of tumours. Alternatively the differences in expression in CGA and other secretory constituents may reflect downregulation of the entire regulated secretory pathway in VHL compared to MEN 2 tumours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Diabetes affects approximately 1 million South Africans. Hospital admissions, the largest single item of diabetes expenditure, are often precipitated by hyperglycaemic emergencies. A recent survey of a 200- bed hospital, serving approximately 1.3 million Cape Town residents, showed that hyperglycaemic emergencies comprised 25.6% of high-care unit admissions. A study was undertaken to determine the reasons for, and financial cost of, these admissions. METHODS All hyperglycaemic admissions during a 2-month period (1 September - 31 October 2005) were surveyed prospectively. Admissions were classified using the American Diabetes Association classification of hyperglycaemic emergencies. Demographic data, and the reason for, duration of and primary outcome of admission, were recorded. The following costs per admission were calculated using publicsector pricing: (i) total costs; (ii) patient-specific costs; (iii) nonpatient- specific costs; and (iv) capital costs. RESULTS Sepsis (36%), non-compliance with therapy (32%) and a new diagnosis of diabetes (11%) were the predominant reasons for admission of 53 hyperglycaemic emergency cases. Mean duration of hospital stay was 4 days, with an in-hospital mortality of 7.5%. Mean cost per admission was R5 309. Clinical staff (25.8%), capital (25.6%) and overhead (34%) costs comprised 85.4% of expenditure. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Hyperglycaemic admissions, costing more than R5 300 per patient, represent a health burden that has remained unchanged over the past 20 years. Urgently required primary care preventive strategies include early diagnosis of diabetes, timely identification and treatment of precipitating causes, specifically sepsis, and education to improve compliance.

Abstract
4093 Background: NET are uncommon malignancies with variable natural history and often indolent biological behavior. Over the past decade novel treatment approaches have been developed. There have been few recent descriptions of large institutional experiences with multi-modality therapy for this disease. Methods: The Princess Margaret Hospital cancer registry identified 207 patients (pts) with NET of the gastrointestinal tract or unknown primary who had their initial visits between 1992 and 2002. A retrospective chart review was performed. Results: The median follow-up duration was 25 months for pts who have died and 54 months for those alive at last follow-up. Demographics of the entire cohort of 207 pts were as follows: M:F = 53%:47%; mean age = 55 years; age-adjusted Charlson score 0 = 71%. Anatomical distribution of the primary location revealed that 33% were from the foregut, 37% from midgut, 13% from hindgut and 17% from unknown origin. Pathological distribution demonstrated that 73% were NET/carcinoids, 21% were islet cell tumors and 6% were small cell carcinomas. One-third of the cohort had biochemically and/or clinically functional tumors, 24% were non-functional, and 43% were not biochemically tested and were clinically non-functional. At presentation, 61% of pts had distant metastases and 39% had locoregional disease. Curative surgery was performed in 38% of the cohort, whereas radiotherapy and chemotherapy of any intent were delivered to 15% and 34% respectively. Octreotide LAR was part of the therapeutic regime in 13% of pts. Two-year survival analysis was evaluated among 114 pts, with the remaining cohort being excluded due to either insufficient follow-up or because pts were seen for second-opinion only. Factors that were significantly related to decreased survival in univariate analyses were the presence of distant metastases and small cell histology. All pts who underwent curative surgery in this subgroup were alive at 2 years, and 88% were alive at 5 years. Conclusions: Pts with NET who are offered curative surgery have a good outcome. Distant metastases are commonly found at presentation and portend a worse prognosis. These patients should be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team regarding new approaches to surgery and other therapies. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
The residence time of particulate contamination on the human body is a factor that has an important impact on the accuracy of exposure assessment in the aftermath of an accidental release of radionuclides to the atmosphere. Measurements of particle clearance from human skin were made using an illumination system to excite fluorescence in labelled silica particles and a CCD camera and image processing system to detect this fluorescence. The illumination system consists of high-intensity light emitting diodes (LEDS) of suitable wavelengths arranged on a portable stand. The physically small size of the LEDs allows them to be positioned close to the fluorescing surface, thus maximising the fluorescent signal that can be obtained. The limit of detection was found to be 50 microg of tracer particle per cm2. Experiments were carried out to determine the clearance rates of 10 microm and 3 microm particles from the skin. Results show that, in the absence of any mechanical rubbing of the skin, the clearance of particles from the skin followed an approximately exponential decay with a half-time of 1.5-7.8 h. Skin hairiness and degree of human movement were found, in addition to particle size, to have an important influence on particle fall-off rate.

Abstract
With the introduction of the penalty points system (PPS) has come many media reports indicating a reduction in road traffic accident (RTA) rates. We hypothesised that reduced RTAs would result in a reduction in hospital trauma workloads. To study this we examined the numbers of RTA related femoral shaft fracture presentations to the six Dublin teaching hospitals and Waterford regional hospital within the six months since the introduction of the PPS and the two previous corresponding six month periods. We also analysed all RTA related discharges from Beaumont hospital during these three time periods. Whilst a slight reduction in RTA related femoral shaft fracture numbers was observed a dramatic reduction in total RTA related discharges from Beaumont hospital was identified with 70 patients discharged in the first six months since the introduction of the PPS compared to 124 and 125 discharges in the same two preceding six month periods. This reduction was greatest for head and thoracic injuries which were halved, while total numbers of limb injuries were maintained, resulting in no reduction in orthopaedic RTA related discharges or workload.

Abstract
This study compared two techniques, the FemoStop device (RADI Medical Systems, Uppsala, Sweden) and manual pressure, currently used by nurses to achieve haemostasis at the groin puncture site following removal of femoral arterial sheaths in patients following coronary angioplasty and coronary stent placement. Participants were randomly allocated the FemoStop device or manual pressure. Participants' groins were observed for evidence of complications including haemorrhage, haematoma formation and pseudoaneurysm following removal of the femoral arterial sheath and the following day. Of the 274 participants recruited into the study, 5.5% (n = 15) were unable to be included as a result of the absence of data on the Angioplasty Record of Care Form (n = 5) or excessive bleeding at the groin puncture site (n = 10). This left 259 eligible participants. Of these, 18.1% (n = 47) did not have their groin puncture site inspected by a post-procedural observer, thereby reducing the number of participants eligible to complete all stages of the study to 212. The results showed that the presence of a haematoma on removal of the femoral arterial sheath had a significant relationship with the type of treatment used, with those participants in the FemoStop device group showing a greater incidence of haematoma development at the time of sheath removal than those in the manual pressure group. No significant difference was detected in haematoma formation or bleeding between the two groups as a result of the risk factors identified in the literature, including participant anxiety, weight or anticoagulant therapy. There was not any significant difference between the two groups in reported pain during removal of the femoral arterial sheath; however, there was a significant distinction in the amount of time taken to achieve haemostasis. The results showed that haemostasis was achieved more quickly in those participants in the manual pressure group than those in the FemoStop group. The results of this research study indicate that although manual pressure achieved haemostasis more quickly than the FemoStop device, both methods are as effective in reducing groin complications in patients following removal of the femoral arterial sheath following coronary angioplasty and stent placement.

Abstract
Activated sludge inocula taken from five different wastewater treatment plants were grown aerobically under laboratory conditions on mineral salts medium containing either glucose or skimmed milk powder as carbon source. Cultures showed increases of between 50% and 143% in levels of phosphate uptake from the medium when the growth pH was 5.5 rather than 7.5. Of 100 individual sludge microbial isolates studied, 34 demonstrated such acid-stimulated luxury phosphate uptake; the optimum pH for the process was shown to lie between 5.0 and 6.5. Enhanced phosphate removal by these isolates was accompanied by increases of between 2 and 10.5-fold in their polyphosphate content; this was visualised as intracellular inclusions. Acid-stimulated luxury phosphate uptake by environmental microorganisms is a previously-unrecognised phenomenon that may have application in novel technologies for nutrient removal from wastewaters.

Abstract
We tested a theoretical model of early-onset substance (tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana) use. A sample of 1,810 public school students was surveyed in sixth grade (M age 11.5 years) and seventh grade. Temperament dimensions were related to substance use, and structural modeling analyses showed indirect effects through self-control constructs. Good self-control had a path to higher academic competence and had direct effects to less peer use and less adolescent substance use; poor self-control had a path to more adolescent life events and more deviant peer affiliations. Academic competence and life events had indirect effects to adolescent substance use, through peer affiliations. Findings from self-report data were corroborated by independent teacher ratings. Effects were also noted for family variables and demographic characteristics. Implications of epigenetic theory for prevention research are discussed.

Abstract
The contribution of His64 to the function and stability of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) kringle-2 domain (His244 in t-PA numbering) has been studied by using microcalorimetric methods to compare the ligand binding and thermal denaturation behavior of wild-type kringle-2 and mutants having His64 replaced with Tyr or Phe. This site was examined because modeling studies suggested that the His64 side chain could play an important role in ligand binding by forming an ion-pair with the carboxylate of the ligand, L-lysine. Kringle-2 domains were expressed by secretion of the 174-263 portion of t-PA in E. coli and purified as previously described for the wild-type domain. Both mutant proteins retain affinity for L-lysine, although reduced three- to four-fold relative to wild-type, demonstrating that His64 does not interact with the ligand carboxylate through an ion-pair interaction or by hydrogen bonding. The H64Y substitution does result in an altered specificity of the lysine binding site with the mutant domain having greatest affinity for a ligand of 6.8 A chain length, whereas the wild-type domain prefers an 8.8 A long ligand. For both wild-type and mutant, the binding of the optimal chain length ligand is dominated by enthalpic effects (delta H = -6,000 to -7,000 cal/mol) and T delta S accounts for less than 15% of delta G. In addition, the H64Y mutant differs from wild-type in the effect of ligand alpha-amino group modification on binding affinity. Based on examination of the x-ray structure recently determined for wild-type kringle-2, the specificity changes accompanying the H64Y substitution probably result from changes in side chain interactions in the lysine binding site. Thermal denaturation experiments show that the H64Y mutant is also more stable than the wild-type protein with the difference in stabilization free energy (delta delta G) equal to 2.7 kcal/mol at 25 degrees C and pH 3. The increased stability of the mutant appears to be related to the difference in hydrophobicity between His and Tyr.

Abstract
We have used differential scanning calorimetry to measure the effect of replacements of valine 65 on thermal stability of the isolated kringle-2 domain of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). The role of this site in stability was examined because a human t-PA variant having this valine (residue 245 in t-PA numbering) replaced with a methionine has been described [Johnston, M.D., & Berger, H. (1987) U.K. Patent Application GB 2176702A]. Mutants of kringle-2 having valine 65 replaced with Met, Leu, Ile, Thr, Ala, or Ser were constructed by using site-directed mutagenesis in conjunction with a restricted site selection strategy. Isolated kringle-2 domains were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified as previously described for the wild-type domain [Cleary, S., Mulkerrin, M.G., & Kelley, R.F. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 1884-1891]. None of these substitutions results in a significant perturbation of the native conformation of kringle-2 as judged by far-UV circular dichroism and equilibrium dialysis measurements of L-lysine affinity. A two-state analysis of the heat capacity profile observed for heating a solution of wild-type (w-t) kringle-2 containing 100 mM citrate, pH 4.5, provides values of 64.3 +/- 0.8 degrees C for Tg (melting temperature), 81 +/- 5 kcal/mol for delta H g, and 1.2 +/- 0.9 kcal/(mol-deg) for delta C p. Thermal denaturation of w-t kringle-2 is reversible in the pH range 3-6 as indicated by the observation of similar heat capacity profiles for consecutive heating cycles and also recovery of spectroscopic and lysine binding properties upon cooling the heat-denatured protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have expressed the 174-263 fragment (kringle-2 domain) of human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in Escherichia coli by secretion into the periplasmic space using the alkaline phosphatase promoter and stII enterotoxin signal sequence. A large portion of the secreted protein is associated with an insoluble cellular fraction. This material can be solubilized by extraction with denaturant and reducing agent and then recovered in active form by refolding in the presence of reduced and oxidized glutathione. Kringle-2 is then easily purified by affinity chromatography on lysine-Sepharose followed by cation-exchange chromatography. The isolated protein has an amino acid composition and N-terminal sequence as expected for the 174-263 fragment of t-PA, indicating that the signal peptide has been properly removed. Circular dichroic spectra suggest that the protein is folded similar to the kringle-4 domain of plasminogen [Castellino et al. (1986) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 247, 312-320]. Equilibrium dialysis experiments indicate a single binding site on kringle-2 for L-lysine having a KD of 100 microM. Using a method based on elution of kringle from lysine-Separose with omega-aminocarboxylic acids [Winn et al. (1980) Eur. J. Biochem. 104, 579-586], we have shown the lysine binding site of t-PA kringle-2 to have a preference for a ligand with 8.8-A separation between amine and carboxylate functions. Charge interactions with the epsilon-amino group of L-lysine are important in binding since the affinities for N epsilon-acetyl-L-lysine, L-arginine, and gamma-guanidinobutyric acid are decreased greater than 2000-fold, 200-fold, and 12-fold, respectively, relative to the affinity for L-lysine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of i.p. administered dipyridamole was studied in six patients to explore the feasibility of using this drug as a modulator of antimetabolite activity in extravascular spaces. Infusions of dipyridamole (50 mg/m2 in 2 liters of normal saline) into the peritoneal cavity resulted in peak drug concentrations 5 to 20 times higher in that cavity than in the plasma. The peritoneal decay data for dipyridamole fitted very well to a single compartment open pharmacokinetic model with one exponential term, while the plasma data are adequately described by a single compartment model with two exponentials (a short absorption phase). The mean peritoneal half-life for total extractable dipyridamole was 3.3 +/- 1.9 (SD) h, and the mean peritoneal clearance was 0.4 +/- 0.3 liters/h/m2. The mean plasma half-life of total dipyridamole in our patients was 2.2 +/- 1.2 h, and the mean clearance value was 5.7 +/- 4.7 liters/h/m2. The area under the concentration versus time curve was calculated to be 626 +/- 312 microM-h for the peritoneal cavity and 45 +/- 20 microM-h for the plasma. Using membrane ultrafiltration, we have measured the concentration of free (non-protein bound) dipyridamole in each patient. While the peritoneal clearance values of free and total drug are comparable, the plasma clearance of free dipyridamole was 47 +/- 39 liters/h/m2. This increased plasma clearance resulted in a plasma area under the concentration versus time curve of 8.3 +/- 5.1 microM-h, which suggests minimal systemic exposure. Our data show that instillation of dipyridamole into the peritoneal cavity resulted in much higher local drug exposure than systemic exposure, confirming the feasibility of using this drug to augment antimetabolite activity within the peritoneal cavity. Since dipyridamole is highly protein bound in the plasma but less so in the peritoneal cavity, these data imply that peritoneal exposure to active (free) dipyridamole is far greater than systemic exposure in our patients.

Abstract
Ninety ovarian carcinoma patients failing primary intravenous (IV) combination chemotherapy were treated with cisplatin-based combination intraperitoneal therapy. Sixty-five patients had residual disease greater than 2 cm at the start of intraperitoneal therapy. Their median survival was 8 months. Twenty-five patients had disease less than 2 cm; their median survival was greater than 49 months, and the survival curve has an apparent plateau at 69%, with no relapses having occurred after 32 months. The median survival for all 90 patients was 15 months. The median duration of follow-up for all patients was 37 months. These results confirm the critical role of tumor bulk in determining the effectiveness of intraperitoneal therapy, and suggest a role for intraperitoneal salvage treatment in patients with small-volume disease.

Abstract
While N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartic acid (PALA), an inhibitor of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, demonstrated a unique spectrum of activity during preclinical drug evaluation, multiple clinical trials have shown it to possess minimal clinical activity. One explanation for the disappointing results is the possibility that tumor cells are able to utilize circulating uridine in the synthesis of pyrimidines (salvage pathway). Dipyridamole, an inhibitor of nucleoside transport, has been demonstrated experimentally to potentiate the cytotoxicity of PALA significantly. In addition, this agent has a long safety record when used clinically in man. A phase I trial of this two-drug combination was therefore conducted, with a fixed oral dose of dipyridamole (50 mg/m2 every 6 h) and an escalating i.v. dose of PALA administered every 3 weeks. The dose-limiting toxicity with this schedule was diarrhea and abdominal cramping pain at a PALA dose of 3900-4200 mg/m2. Among the 65 patients participating in this trial 4 objective responses (2 partial, 2 minimal) were observed. Because of the potential for unique clinical synergy between PALA and dipyridamole further investigation should be considered.

Abstract
Seventy-one patients receiving a minimum of two courses of high-dose intracavitary cisplatin (100-200 mg/m2/course) with i.v. thiosulfate administered to protect against cisplatin-induced renal insufficiency were retrospectively evaluated to examine the influence of thiosulfate and large cumulative doses of cisplatin on the incidence of hypomagnesemia. Only 8% of 50 patients who had normal serum magnesium levels prior to the initiation of the experimental program became hypomagnesemic during the therapeutic trial. Similarly, while 67% of the 21 patients with low initial serum magnesium levels remained hypomagnesemic, 33% had normal serum levels at the completion of therapy. It is suggested that the intravenous administration of thiosulfate might have been responsible for the strikingly low incidence of hypomagnesemia in this patient population. A prospective evaluation of the utility of sodium thiosulfate in preventing cisplatin-induced renal magnesium wasting appears indicated.

Twenty-one patients with malignant mesothelioma were treated with an experimental intracavitary chemotherapy regimen of weekly intraperitoneal or intrapleural cisplatin (90-100 mg/m2) with simultaneous intravenous sodium thiosulfate delivered to protect against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. One of eight patients (12.5%) receiving intrapleural therapy and nine of 13 patients receiving intraperitoneal therapy demonstrated objective evidence of a clinical response, including three surgically defined major tumor regressions (23%). Patients receiving intrapleural treatment had more advanced disease prior to therapy than those receiving intraperitoneal therapy. It was concluded that intraperitoneal cisplatin is an active treatment program for intra-abdominally localized mesothelioma. Additional investigation of intrapleural cisplatin should be undertaken in a patient population with less advanced disease or following surgical debulking.

Abstract
Thirty-seven patients with refractory ovarian carcinoma or other malignancies principally confined to the peritoneal cavity were treated with a combination ip chemotherapy regimen consisting of cisplatin (100 or 200 mg/m2), cytarabine (1,200 mg/m2), and bleomycin (15 or 2 U/m2) repeated at 28-day intervals. Sodium thiosulfate was simultaneously administered iv to protect against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. While only one of 18 patients (6%) with bulky residual ovarian carcinoma experienced a partial remission, two of six evaluable patients with minimal residual disease experienced surgically defined complete remissions. Local abdominal pain was often severe with the higher dose of bleomycin and was occasionally a problem with the lower dose schedule. Fever was common (greater than 70% of courses), but was reduced in degree by pretreatment with steroids. We conclude that combination ip chemotherapy with this three-drug regimen can result in objective tumor regressions and surgically defined complete remissions in patients with minimal residual ovarian carcinoma who have failed to achieve a complete remission following cisplatin-based iv chemotherapy.

Abstract
Dipyridamole (DP) and N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartate (PALA) act synergistically in vitro against many cell lines and in vivo against human ovarian carcinoma xenografts. We have conducted a phase I clinical trial of DP p.o. (50 mg/m2, every 6 h) in combination with PALA (starting at 500 mg/m2 i.v. with 300-mg dose escalations). Sixty-five patients were entered into this study, and we have established the maximum tolerated dose of PALA to be 4.5 g/m2 when combined with DP, which is approximately 80% of the previously reported maximum tolerated dose for PALA alone. The observed toxicities of DP plus PALA were mild and were similar to those reported for PALA alone. Bone marrow toxicities were not evident at any PALA dose. Ten patients with a mean pretreatment plasma uridine concentration of 3.49 +/- 1.28 (SD) microM had their plasma uridine reduced to 2.29 +/- 0.70 microM 9 h after DP p.o. A peak plasma DP concentration of 1.86 +/- 0.99 microM was achieved approximately 2 h after p.o. dosing. Nine patients who had a reduced plasma uridine concentration of 2.46 +/- 0.61 microM after 1 week of DP had their plasma uridine further reduced by PALA to 0.87 +/- 0.23 microM 7 h post-PALA. Daily plasma uridine measurements in two patients during their DP treatment confirmed the previously described pattern for Day 1, but the data suggest a slight recovery (15%) in plasma uridine by Day 2. Daily sampling in two other patients after a single PALA dose of 4.2 g/m2 showed that their plasma uridine declined 5 h after the PALA dose and remained depressed for 6 days in one patient and 11 days in the other. These results suggest that DP worked in synergy with PALA to lower circulating uridine in cancer patients. The mechanism for the ability of DP to reduce plasma uridine is not known, but there is evidence that DP can inhibit cellular efflux of uridine as well as its uptake. DP may reduce plasma nucleoside pools in addition to blocking nucleoside salvage and therefore have general applicability in other chemotherapy regimens.

Abstract
The results of modeling studies have suggested and clinical investigations have confirmed a major pharmacokinetic advantage for exposure of the peritoneal cavity to certain chemotherapeutic agents compared with exposure of the systemic circulation when these drugs are delivered through the intraperitoneal route. Objective antitumor responses and significant palliation of symptoms have been demonstrated. One major concern with the use of intraperitoneal therapy is the risk of inducing peritoneal sclerosis and extensive adhesion formation. At the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Cancer Center, 115 patients with advanced intra-abdominal malignant conditions have been treated with several intraperitoneal chemotherapy programs. To date, with a total of 1,103 patient-months of follow-up study, seven episodes of small intestinal obstruction have developed of which two were definitely and five possibly related to chemotherapy induced adhesion formation. The development of methods to prevent or decrease peritoneal sclerosis will allow for greater application of this innovative therapeutic approach.
