Abstract
We have developed a two-dimensional (2D) electron temperature (T(e)) diagnostic system for thermal structure studies in a low-aspect-ratio reversed field pinch (RFP). The system consists of a soft x-ray (SXR) camera with two pin holes for two-kinds of absorber foils, combined with a high-speed camera. Two SXR images with almost the same viewing area are formed through different absorber foils on a single micro-channel plate (MCP). A 2D Te image can then be obtained by calculating the intensity ratio for each element of the images. We have succeeded in distinguishing T(e) image in quasi-single helicity (QSH) from that in multi-helicity (MH) RFP states, where the former is characterized by concentrated magnetic fluctuation spectrum and the latter, by broad spectrum of edge magnetic fluctuations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Even if detected at an early stage, a substantial number of lung cancers relapse after curative surgery. However, no method for distinguishing such tumors has yet been established. PATIENTS AND METHODS The copy number of the actinin-4 (ACTN4) gene was determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization on tissue microarrays comprising 543 surgically resected adenocarcinomas of the lung. RESULTS Amplification (an increase in the copy number by ≥ 2.0 fold) of the ACTN4 gene was detected in two of seven lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and 79 (15%) of 543 cases of pathological stage I-IV lung adenocarcinoma. Multivariate analysis revealed that ACTN4 gene amplification was the most significant independent factor associated with an extremely high risk of death (hazard ratio, 6.78; P = 9.48 × 10(-5), Cox regression analysis) among 290 patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma. The prognostic significance of ACTN gene amplification was further validated in three independent cohorts totaling 1033 patients. CONCLUSIONS Amplification of the ACTN4 gene defines a small but substantial subset of patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma showing a distinct outcome. Such patients require intensive medical attention and might benefit from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is predictive for the efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. We evaluated the performance, sensitivity, and concordance between five EGFR tests. MATERIALS AND METHODS DNA admixtures (n = 34; 1%-50% mutant plasmid DNA) and samples from NSCLC patients [116 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, 29 matched bronchofiberscopic brushing (BB) cytology, and 20 additional pleural effusion (PE) cytology samples] were analyzed. EGFR mutation tests were PCR-Invader, peptide nucleic acid-locked nucleic acid PCR clamp, direct sequencing, Cycleave, and Scorpion Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS). Analysis success, mutation status, and concordance rates were assessed. RESULTS All tests except direct sequencing detected four mutation types at ≥1% mutant DNA. Analysis success rates were 91.4%-100% (FFPE) and 100% (BB and PE cytology), respectively. Inter-assay concordance rates of successfully analyzed samples were 94.3%-100% (FFPE; kappa coefficients: 0.88-1.00), 93.1%-100% (BB cytology; 0.86-1.00), and 85.0%-100% (PE cytology; 0.70-1.00), and 93.1%-96.6% (0.86-0.93) between BB cytology and matched FFPE. CONCLUSIONS All EGFR assays carried out comparably in the analysis of FFPE and cytology samples. Cytology-derived DNA is a viable alternative to FFPE samples for analyzing EGFR mutations.

Abstract
e11574 Background: Chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, or radiotherapy is sometimes used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) before surgical resection (neoadjuvant therapy). However, no histopathological evaluation method for predicting the outcome of NSCLC treated by neoadjuvant therapy has been fully assessed. The purpose of this study was to assess a novel histopathological evaluation method for predicting the outcome of NSCLC patients who received neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical resection. Methods: We reviewed the histopathology of the tumors of 61 NSCLC patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, or radiotherapy and identified the histological features produced by neoadjuvant therapy by comparing them with the histopathological features of the tumors in 138 NSCLC cases treated by surgery without neoadjuvant therapy. We also measured the area of residual tumor (ART) on the maximum cut surface of the tumors and analyzed the relationships between the histological features, ART, and the outcome. Results: The proportions of cases with the histological features “cholesterin clefts,” “foreign body reactive giant cells,” “stromal hyalinosis,” and “cancer cells more than 50% of which contained a bizarre nucleus” were significantly higher in the neoadjuvant therapy group than in the surgery alone group. However, the presence of none of these features except “stromal hyalinosis” had any significant effect on survival in the neoadjuvant therapy group. Although pathological T factor (ypT) and N factor (ypN) had no significant effect on overall survival, smaller ART (≤400 mm2) and absence of pleural invasion (p(-)) were predictors of a outcome (p=0.004 and p=0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Smaller ART (≤400 mm2) and p(-) predict a better outcome of NSCLC in patients who receive neoadjuvant therapy. We concluded that ART is a novel histopathological parameter for predicting the outcome of NSCLC patients who receive neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical resection. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
18049 Background: Thymic epithelial tumor has been reported to express the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and thymic carcinoma has recently been described to have overexpression of KIT. We investigated the prevalence of EGFR and KIT mutations in patients with thymoma and thymic carcinoma to explore the potential for a targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from 41 paraffin-embedded tumor samples including 24 thymoma and 17 thymic carcinoma. EGFR mutations in exons 18, 19 and 21, and KIT mutations in exons 9, 11, 13 and 17, were analyzed by PCR and direct sequencing. Protein expressions of EGFR and KIT were also evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results: We detected the EGFR mutation in 2 of 20 thymoma, but none of thymic carcinoma had mutation. All of the detected EGFR mutations were missense mutations in exon 21 (L858R and G863D, respectively). Expression of EGFR was seen in 71% of thymoma and 53% of thymic carcinoma. On mutational analysis of KIT, only one thymic carcinoma displayed a missense mutation in exon 11 (L576P). Expression of KIT was observed in 88% of thymic carcinoma and 0% of thymoma. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that a small number of patients with thymic epithelial tumor exhibit somatic mutations of EGFR or KIT although expressions of EGFR or KIT are present frequently in thymic epithelial tumor. Further investigations are warranted to determine their susceptibility to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of thymoma and thymic carcinoma with EGFR or KIT mutations. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production by stromal fibroblasts plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis. However, VEGF is also expressed by normal tissue fibroblasts, raising the question of how the VEGF activity of fibroblasts is regulated. Here we report that the latent VEGF angiogenic activity of fibroblasts is activated by cancer cells, resulting in tumor-selective utilization of fibroblast-derived VEGF. Through the production of VEGF, human VA-13 fibroblasts promote angiogenesis in and growth of human pancreas cancer Capan-1 xenograft tumors, whereas VA-13 fibroblasts alone do not show significant angiogenesis. Treatment of VA-13 fibroblast supernatant with matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), an extracellular proteinase characteristically expressed by cancer cells, elicits endothelial tube formation. This effect is abrogated by anti-VEGF antibody or connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), which was previously reported to sequester VEGF and be degraded by MMP-7. Suppression of MMP-7 in Capan-1 cells abrogates the tumor angiogenic activity of VA-13 fibroblasts, which is restored by suppression of CTGF in VA-13 fibroblasts. We further show that these molecular mechanisms that trigger angiogenesis are effective in human primary fibroblasts and human colorectal tissue. These data suggest that fibroblasts may store VEGF in a latent state in the extracellular environment for urgent use in angiogenesis.

Abstract
AIMS Immunohistochemical prognostic factors of pulmonary metastatic colorectal cancer lesions have not been well investigated. The study was conducted to identify the immunohistochemical prognostic factors of metastasized colorectal cancer. METHODS We immunohistochemically investigated the expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1-R), E-cadherin, beta-catenin, and p53 using a tissue microarray in the surgical specimens of 86 metastatic lesions. RESULTS The univariate analysis revealed E-cadherin and membrane beta-catenin positive to be prognostic factors. IGF1-R and p53 were not significantly associated with the patient's survival. In multivariate analysis, the reduced expression of E-cadherin, aerogenous spread with floating cancer cell clusters and vascular invasion were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS The reduced expression of E-cadherin in the pulmonary metastatic lesions was an independent predictor of poor survival after pulmonary metastasectomy.

Abstract
The latest World Health Organization (WHO) classification divides adenocarcinoma mainly into adenocarcinoma mixed subtypes, acinar adenocarcinoma, papillary adenocarcinoma, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, and solid adenocarcinoma with mucin production, and it mentions several variants, including fetal adenocarcinoma, mucinous ("colloid") adenocarcinoma, mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, signet-ring adenocarcinoma, and clear cell adenocarcinoma. In general, the mucin-producing adenocarcinoma of the lung comprises signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC), solid adenocarcinoma with mucin production (SA), and mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (m-BAC), mucinous ("colloid") adenocarcinomas and/or mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. As SRCC, SA, and m-BAC exhibit distinct clinical features, it is important to identify differences in their immunohistochemical characteristics to better understand their histogenesis. In this study we analysed SRCC, SA, m-BAC, normal lung, and foregut-related secretory tissue for immunohistochemical differences using tissue microarrays. SRCC and SA showed high expression of MUC1 (97.4% and 100%, respectively), cytokeratin (CK) 7 (both 100%), and thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) (81.1% and 100%, respectively). They also showed low expression of MUC5AC (25.5% and 21.1%, respectively) and MUC6 (18.3% and 10.5%, respectively), whereas m-BAC showed high expression of MUC5AC (97.5%), MUC6 (75.0%), and CK7 (94.7%), but low expression of MUC1 (57.5%), and TTF-1 (27.5%). Hierarchical clustering showed that the immunophenotypes of SRCC and SA belong to the same category as alveolar lining cells, whereas m-BAC clustered onto another branch with gastric foveolar cells and bronchial goblet cells. These immunohistochemical findings support the results of our previous clinicopathological analysis of SRCC of the lung showing that SRCC occurs anatomically in the peripheral portion of the lung rather than in the bronchial gland-bearing portion.

Abstract
There are many studies that show biological differences between invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with and without nodal metastasis, but no prognostic classification taking into consideration any biological differences between them is currently available. We previously investigated the histological characteristics that play an important role in tumour progression of IDCs according to their nodal status, and a new prognostic histological classification, the primary tumour–vessel tumour–nodal tumour (PVN) classification, was devised based on the histological characteristics of IDCs with and without nodal metastasis. Multivariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to compare the ability of the PVN classification to predict tumour recurrence and death in 393 IDC patients based on the following histological classifications: (1) the pTNM classification, (2) the Nottingham Prognostic Index, (3) the modified Nottingham Prognostic Index, and (4) the histologic grade. In IDCs without nodal metastasis, only the PVN classification significantly increased the hazard rates (HRs) of tumour recurrence and death (P<0.05), independent of the hormone receptor status. Similarly, in IDCs with nodal metastases, only the PVN classification significantly increased the HRs of tumour recurrence and death (P<0.05), independent of the hormone receptor status. We conclude that the PVN prognostic histological classification is the best classification available for IDC of the breast.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Attachment to bone marrow (BM) stromal cells is crucial for the normal growth and development of B-cell progenitors (pro-B). However, the molecular mechanisms by which contact facilitates the proliferation of pro-B cells are not completely understood. This study was performed to investigate this interaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A model pro-B cell line (Reh) and a human BM stromal cell line (KM102) were used. Flow cytomery was used for cell cycle analysis. Western Blotting and immunoprecipitation were utilized to examine the levels of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) and p27(Kip1). RESULTS Attachment to both KM102 and normal BM stromal cells significantly promoted the growth of Reh cells. Pretreatment of Reh cells with anti-integrin beta1 or alpha5 monoclonal antibody (mAb), but not alpha4 or ICAM-1 mAb, abrogated this enhancement of proliferation. Furthermore, stroma attachment resulted in shortening of the G(1) phase of cell cycle, significant increases cdk2 activity, degradation of cdk inhibitor p27-GST protein, and decrease in levels of p27(Kip1) protein. In addition, solid-phase cross-linking of alpha5 via immobilized antibody also resulted in extracellular signal-regulated (ERK)-2 kinase phosphorylation, increase in cdk2 activity, decrease in levels of p27(Kip1) protein, and enhanced proliferation that was inhibited by treatment with PD98059, a specific ERK inhibitor. CONCLUSION Integrin alpha5beta1-mediated stroma contact promotes the proliferation of B-cell progenitors through the activation of ERK-2, which in turn modulates cell cycle regulation machinery including induction of cdk2 activity and degradation of p27(Kip1) and contributing to acceleration of the G(1) phase of cell cycle progression.

Abstract
Inactivation of the klotho gene in mice results in multiple disorders that resemble human aging after 3 weeks of age. Because hematopoiesis, especially B lymphopoiesis, is affected in humans and mice by aging, we analyzed the hematopoietic state in homozygous klotho (kl/kl) mice. The kl/kl mice showed thymic atrophy and a reduced number of splenocytes. These mice had almost the normal number of myeloid cells, erythroid cells, IL-3-responsive myeloid precursors and colony forming units in spleen (CFU-S) in bone marrow (BM), but had a substantially decreased number of B cells in BM and peripheral blood as compared with wild-type mice. IL-7-responsive B cell precursors and all of the maturation stages of B cells in BM were also reduced. However, the function of hematopoietic stem cells including their capacity of B lymphopoiesis in vivo and in vitro was normal. Early B cell development was also normal in neonates and young kl/kl mice until 2 weeks old without aging phenotypes. RT-PCR analysis revealed that the level of IL-7 gene expression was significantly reduced in freshly isolated kl/kl BM cells. However, injection of IL-7 in kl/kl mice could not rescue the B lymphopenia. These findings indicate that Klotho protein may regulate B lymphopoiesis via its influence on the hematopoietic microenvironment.

Abstract
CD44 is a widely expressed cell surface glycoprotein with various functions. This molecule is shed from the cell surface and released as a soluble molecule. High serum levels of CD44 have been demonstrated in some solid tumours. In this study we measured serum CD44 in 25 patients with acute leukemia, in 12 with bacterial infections, and in 13 normal controls. The levels of serum CD44 of patients with bacterial infections were significantly higher (mean 531.3+/-60.1 ng/ml, p<0.001) than those of normal controls (299. 0+/-115.4 ng/ml). Acute leukemia patients before treatment had almost four-fold higher levels of serum CD44 than normal controls (mean 1301.9+/-1384.6 ng/ml, p<0.01). Serum CD44 levels were correlated with clinical status. After treatment the serum CD44 levels significantly decreased, but they were still higher than in normal controls. Patients in complete remission all relapsed if serum CD44 levels were higher than 500 ng/ml (normal+2 SD) after chemotherapy. The serum CD44 levels were correlated with the absolute numbers of leukemic cells in peripheral blood. The results demonstrated that serum CD44 levels correlate well with the clinical status of acute leukemia, and such evaluation may provide a reliable tumour marker of acute leukemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Bcl6 gene encodes a sequence-specific transcriptional repressor and is ubiquitously expressed in adult murine tissues including heart muscle. The objective of this study was to examine the role of Bcl6 in cardiac myocytes. METHOD We developed Bcl6-deficient (Bcl6-/-) mice and histologically examined hearts from these mice. RESULTS Massive myocarditis with eosinophilic infiltration occurred in Bcl6-/- mice after 4-6 weeks of age. Since expression of the Bcl6 gene was induced in normal cardiac myocytes after 2 weeks of age and thereafter detected through adulthood, loss of Bcl6 in mature cardiac myocytes may be related to the induction of eosinophilic myocarditis. To examine the effects of eosinophils from Bcl6-/- mice on normal hearts, bone marrow cells from Bcl6-/- mice were adoptively transferred into sublethally irradiated RAG1-deficient mice. Although massive eosinophilic infiltration was detected in conjunctivas and spleens from the chimeric mice, myocarditis was never observed. Electron microscopic analysis of cardiac myocytes from Bcl6-/- mice revealed a spectrum of degenerative changes prior to eosinophilic infiltration. CONCLUSION Bcl6 maynot be essential for the maturation of cardiac myocytes but may play a role in protecting mature cardiac myocytes from eosinophilic inflammation.

Abstract
CD44 is a cell surface glycoprotein with a number of isoforms generated by alternative splicing of ten 'variant' exons in humans. Variant exon 6-containing isoforms of CD44 (CD44v6) have been implicated in the metastatic potential of rat carcinoma cell lines. Human homologues of CD44v6 are expressed in several tumour types and are involved in their progression. In the present study, we examined the expression of CD44 mRNA in 20 acute myelocytic leukemias by semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis and assessed its prognostic value. In all leukemic cells the predominant isoform was the 'standard' form of CD44 (CD44H), and intense bands were found in eight cases. CD44v6 was expressed in 11 cases, although its levels and those of other variants containing exon v7 through to v10 were much lower than those of CD44H. Isoforms containing exon v4 or v5 could not be detected. The expression of CD44v6 correlated with the death rate from leukemia (p > 0.05), but was not related to other risk factors. On the other hand, the intense expression of CD44H did not correlate with the prognosis of leukemia. CD44v6 thus appears to be a marker for the poor prognosis of acute myelocytic leukemia.

Abstract
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) has diverse biological effects in hematopoiesis has been shown to share important functions with IL-6. However, unlike IL-6, there has been little information about the expression of IL-11 in lymphoid malignancy. Using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, IL-11 transcript was found in a number of lymphoid cell lines. A high level of expression was found in follicular lymphoma cell line FL18, and this was also detectable by Northern blotting. When TPA/A23187 were added to the culture of bone marrow stromal cell line KM102, IL-11 transcripts were rapidly upregulated. In contrast, levels of IL-11 transcripts were not increased in FL18 even upon the stimulation. The addition of actinomycin D to the cultures showed that the half life of the transcripts was similar in both FL18 and KM102. This suggests that posttran scriptional processes might not be involved in the constitutive expression of FL18. The results of IL-11 bioassay and enzymed-linked immunosorbent assay showed that FL18 did not secrete biologically active IL-11 into the medium. IL-11 transcript was also found in lymphoma cells in patient with malignant lymphoma, but not in B and T lymphocytes from reactive hyperplasia. Our results indicate that IL-11 transcripts can sometimes be produced in the neoplastic transformation of lymphoid cells.

Abstract
CD30, a member of the tumour necrosis factor/nerve growth factor receptor superfamily, has been thought to have pleiotropic functions on immune response. However, there has been only a little information about the mechanism of CD30 expression. In this study, modulation of the CD30 molecule was investigated by the treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). When cultures were supplemented with TPA, CD30 transcript was downregulated in a dose- and time-dependent manner in the erythroleukemia cell line K562. Half reduction of CD30 transcript, precursor protein and surface protein was at 3 h, 6 h, and 40 h, respectively, by Northern blot and Western blot analyses. This consecutive reduction of both the transcript and proteins suggests that TPA directly inhibits the transcriptional step of CD30, and subsequently CD30 molecules would decrease on the cell surface. To determine whether the protein kinase C (PKC) pathway is involved in this reduction, a PKC inhibitor, 10 microM H-7, was added to the K562 culture. The addition of H-7 recovered the inhibitory effect of TPA, indicating that PKC is involved in the transcription of CD30. When either 2 micrograms/ml actinomycin D or 20 micrograms/ml cycloheximide was added simultaneously with TPA to the culture, the repressive effect of TPA on CD30 was abolished. These results showed that the repression would also partly involve ongoing mRNA and protein synthesis under TPA treatment.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that is not only a mediator in major immunologic reactions but also a growth factor of keratinocytes. We studied the IL-6 secretion in vitro of 15 human cell lines derived from both squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. Four of the eight well differentiated SCC secreted a large amount (> 1500 pg/48 h/10(6) cells) of IL-6 in nude mice. In contrast, poorly differentiated SCC cell lines and all of the 7 adenocarcinoma cell lines secreted a small amount (< 500 pg/48 h/10(6) cells of IL-6). The expression of IL-6 mRNA of the cell lines correlated well with their IL-6 secretion potential. However, the expression of IL-6 receptor did not correlate with the IL-6 secretory potential. We also studied the IL-6 secretion of freshly isolated normal squamous epithelium and of dysplastic epithelium. In culture, two normal squamous epithelia secreted a large amount (> 2000 pg/48 h/10(6) cells), whereas 8 dysplasia epithelia secreted an extremely small amount (< 10 pg/48 h/10(6) cells). About one-third of patients with SCC had a raised serum IL-6 value. IL-6 production may help to differentiate between SCC and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. IL-6 regulation seems to change in the course of SCC carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The cellular contact between B cells and follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) in the germinal center is thought to play a key role in B-cell maturation and proliferation. The adhesion pathway through the very late antigen 4 (VLA-4) on the B cells and the vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) on the FDCs support this binding process. The neoplastic follicular centers in follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (FNHLs) have similar structures and cellular components to those of normal germinal centers, but their interaction between B cells and FDCs may be functionally disturbed. In view of this we analyzed the interaction between VLA-4 and VCAM-1 molecules in the germinal center microenvironment, both in neoplastic and normal follicles. The structural characterization of FNHLs and reactive lymph nodes was studied with indirect immunohistochemical stainings using monoclonal antibodies against VLA-4, VCAM-1, and fibronectin, with special reference to the reaction pattern in the normal and neoplastic follicles. In the reactive follicular centers most B cells did not show a positive reaction for VLA-4, except for moderate reaction products in the B cells of the light zone. In FNHLs, on the other hand, most follicular center B cells were positive for VLA-4. The reaction patterns of VCAM-1 and fibronectin in both normal and neoplastic follicular centers were not basically different. To investigate the interaction of VLA-4 with VCAM-1 in both neoplastic and normal follicular centers, we performed a frozen-section binding assay, which found decreased binding between VLA-4 and VCAM-1 in FNHLs. The results of this study indicated that the microenvironment in neoplastic follicular centers is different from that in their normal counterparts, in terms of the characteristic distribution pattern of the VLA-4-positive B cells, and the functional deterioration of the VCAM-1 on FDCs.

Abstract
A 33-year-old woman with AML (M4) resistant to chemotherapy received syngeneic marrow graft from her identical twin following high dose busulfan and etoposide. However, the relapse was confirmed on the 60th day after the procedure. Since she failed to achieve remission despite intensive chemotherapy, a second BMT from the same donor was performed following total body irradiation and high dose etoposide on the 126th day after the initial BMT. At this time, cyclosporine (1 mg/kg/day) was administered to induce graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Skin rash appeared on the 18th day after the 2nd BMT, and biopsy from the rash on the 23rd day showed a typical picture of cutaneous GVHD (grade 2) and there was no evidence of viral infection. On the 36th day after the 2nd BMT, the patient died of veno-occlusive disease. Although graft-versus-leukemia effect in this patient could not be evaluated because of early death, the induction of GVHD with cyclosporine might be effective to reduce the relapse rate after syngeneic or autologous BMT. Further studies are required to confirm this effect.
