Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in thyroid cancer patients before and after radioactive iodine administration in order to assess cytogenetic particularity in Polynesian thyroid cancer patients. METHODS Chromosomal abnormalities were studied in 30 Polynesian patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, prior to and 4 days after 131I administration. Unstable chromosomal abnormalities were counted in peripheral blood lymphocytes using a conventional cytogenetic method. Peripheral blood was irradiated in vitro at different doses (0.5, 1 and 2 Gy) in order to establish the dose-response of the lymphocytes. Control groups were composed of 50 European thyroid cancer patients before and after first administration of 131I, and of ten European healthy donors. In addition, in vitro irradiation assays were performed at different doses (0.5, 1 and 2 Gy). RESULTS The relative risk of spontaneous dicentrics before any radiation treatment was 2.9 (95% CI 1.7-5.1) times higher among Polynesian thyroid patients than among European thyroid cancer patients. After in vitro irradiation, the rise in frequency of dicentrics was similar in the Polynesian thyroid cancer group and the European thyroid patients and healthy donors. Four days after administration of 3.7 GBq 131I, the relative risk for a dicentric per cell was 1.3 (95% CI 1.0-1.5) times higher in Polynesian than in European patients. This can be explained by higher 131I retention in Polynesian compared with European patients. The results obtained revealed an increased frequency of cytogenetic abnormalities in Polynesian thyroid cancer patients compared with European control patients. CONCLUSION These preliminary findings are compatible with possible previous environmental aggression and therefore imply a need for further investigations on larger series including, in particular, French Polynesian healthy donors. In addition to French Polynesians, Maori and Hawaiian control groups could be useful.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study chromosomal abnormalities in 49 patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), before and after treatment and at several times during a 2-year period. METHODS AND MATERIALS Simple chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) were counted in peripheral lymphocytes by painting of chromosomes 1, 3, and 4 (fluorescence in situ hybridization). A control population was composed of 20 healthy donors and 69 untreated cancer patients who had undergone various radiologic scans. RESULTS A greater frequency (p < 10(-4)) of spontaneous cytogenetic abnormalities was observed in untreated HL patients compared with the control populations. CCRs were observed exclusively in the HL population (p < 10(-4)). Chemotherapy was associated with a significant increase in the frequency of CAs (p < 10(-4)), according to the chemotherapy regimen (p = 0.002). Immediately after radiotherapy, a significant increase (p < 10(-4)) was observed in CAs according to the size of the irradiation field. Conversely, the significant increases in the frequency of CCRs observed after treatment did not correlate with the chemotherapy regimens, radiotherapy dose, or size of the irradiation field. The evolution of CAs vs. CCRs over time was also dissociated: during the follow-up of these patients, a significant decrease was observed in the frequency of CAs at 6 months and 1 and 2 years. In contrast, after an initial decrease for up to 6 months after treatment, the frequency of CCRs remained constant for up to 2 years. CONCLUSION Increased cytogenetic abnormalities were observed in untreated HL patients compared with the control populations. The greater frequency of cytogenetic abnormalities persisted in some patients. The presence of CCRs supports the concept of a unique genetic environment in HL patients that persists in response to potentially noxious treatments.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphomas (MCL) are characterized by their aggressive behavior and poor response to chemotherapy regimens. We report here evidence of increased in vitro radiation sensitivity in two cell lines that we have generated from two MCL patients (UPN1 and UPN2). However, despite their increased radiation sensitivity, UPN2 cells were totally resistant to apoptotic cell death, whereas UPN1 cells underwent massive apoptosis 6 h after irradiation. The frequency of induced chromosomal abnormalities was higher in UPN1 as compared to UPN2. Distinct mechanisms have been found to contribute to this phenotype: a major telomere shortening (UPN1 and UPN2), deletion of one ATM allele and a point mutation in the remaining allele in UPN2, mutation of p53 gene (UPN1 and UPN2) with absence of functional p53 as revealed by functional yeast assays. After irradiation, Ku70 levels in UPN1 increased and decreased in UPN2, whereas in the same conditions, DNA-PKcs protein levels decreased in UPN1 and remained unchanged in UPN2. Thus, irradiation-induced apoptotic cell death can occur despite the nonfunctional status of p53 (UPN1), suggesting activation of a unique pathway in MCL cells for the induction of this event. Overall, our study demonstrates that MCL cells show increased radiation sensitivity, which can be the result of distinct molecular events. These findings could clinically be exploited to increase the dismal response rates of MCL patients to the current chemotherapy regimens.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is characterized by the t(11;14)(q13;q32), which is associated with cyclin D1 hyperexpression and a poor prognosis. MCL cases have been shown to progress to a more aggressive disease but the molecular events responsible of this phenomenon have not been determined. We have established two cell lines from the pleural effusions of two patients with MCL that we have used for further cytogenetic characterization to better define the incidence and nature of secondary chromosome abnormalities using multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization, whole chromosome paint, and specific probes. Both cell lines grew independently without growth factors. Using CCND1/IGH-specific probes, patient UPN1 was found to have a masked t(11;14). Numerous and complex chromosomal abnormalities were found in both cell lines affecting chromosomes 2, 8, 13, 18, 22, X, and Y. These abnormalities included 8p losses, suggesting the presence of an anti-oncogene in this region, rearrangements of 8q24, MYC gene, and translocations involving 8, X, and Y chromosomes, which might be significant in the pathogenesis of MCL progression. The use of the cell lines (UPN1) allowed us to generate a mouse model of human MCL, mimicking a disseminated lymphoma and leading to the death of the animals in 4 weeks. This blastoid MCL model could be of major interest to determine molecular events involved in MCL progression, allowing isolation of involved genes and their functional characterization, and to study the effects of new chemotherapy regimens in mouse models.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the cytogenetic effects of the X ray irradiation used during a CT scan in order to estimate the mean absorbed dose in circulating lymphocytes. Chromosomal aberrations were scored in blood lymphocytes of ten patients undergoing CT scans, by applying fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) to metaphase cells and premature chromosome condensation (PCC) with chromosomes 1, 3 and 4 painting probes immediately after exposure. This generated a dosimetric index that reflects the dose to the circulating lymphocytes. By using PCC a significant increase in the frequency of chromosomal fragment was observed immediately after a CT scan. However, no significant increase in chromosomal aberration was detected in metaphase cells. The mean dosimetric index immediately after exposure was 0.057 Gy (95% CI: 0.052-0.082 Gy). This dosimetric index depends essentially on the size of the examined and exposed blood volumes. This dose is in close agreement with the dose length product (DLP) (Gy cm) (R = 0.80). It should be kept in mind when justifying requests for diagnostic CT scan especially in young patients. The presence of chromosomal fragments after a CT scan indicated the cytogenetic effect of a low dose. PCC associated with chromosome painting is a method for detecting the cytogenetic effect of a low dose immediately after exposure.

Abstract
PURPOSE Validation of biological dosimetry versus physical dosimetry in malignant haemopathy patients conditioned by total body irradiation (TBI) before bone marrow transplantation (BMT). PATIENTS AND METHODS The scoring of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral lymphocytes irradiated in vivo was used to perform the biological dosimetry. The data were compared to those obtained with healthy volunteers' total blood exposed to in vitro irradiation with linear accelerator doses (0.2, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Gy) for dose-response curves. In experimental animal models, can in vivo and in vitro responses be considered as being the same? All the published human data are based on retrospective dose evaluation with very large uncertainties on the dose precisely delivered to the subject. TBI before BMT was taken as a model where the dose calculation results from the physical method, with homogeneous beam and dose delivered precisely along the entire organism. In vivo response allows us to validate biological dosimetry in 15 adult patients (female + male), before (D = 0 Gy) and after the first fraction of 1.8 Gy, delivered by a linear accelerator (18 MV, dose-rate of 15.8 cGy/min-1). Two methods, conventional cytogenetics (CCG) and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH painting) of chromosome 4 were respectively used to analyze the unstable chromosome aberrations and stable chromosome aberrations. RESULTS Healthy volunteer lymphocytes, before irradiation, yielded 0.1% dicentrics and 0.3% translocations of chromosome 4, with 2.5% for the whole genome. Patients before irradiation had 2% dicentrics and 11.48% chromosome 4 translocations for the whole genome. In the 15 patients, for a physical dose of 1.8 Gy, the evaluated biological dose was 1.93 Gy (95% CI: 1.85-2.05 Gy) with conventional cytogenetics and 2.06 Gy (95% CI: 1.75-2.15 Gy) with FISH. CONCLUSION These results, in which the biologically estimated dose is in complete agreement with the dose calculated by physical dosimetry in the homogeneous irradiation model, suggest the validation of biological dosimetry in TBI conditioning.

Abstract
PURPOSE Biological dosimetry based on scoring chromosomal aberrations in peripheral lymphocytes was compared to physical dosimetry done for total body irradiation (TBI) before bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifteen patients undergoing TBI were included in the study. A total dose of 12 Gy in 2.5 days was fractionated into 2 or 3 daily doses of 1.8 Gy delivered by a 18 MV linear accelerator (dose rate: 15.8 cGy x min(-1)). Blood samples were obtained from patients before irradiation and after the first fraction of 1.8 Gy. A standard dose-effect curve was established by in vitro irradiation of healthy volunteer lymphocytes. Chromosomal aberrations were scored by the conventional cytogenetics (CCG) method for unstable anomalies and by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) for stable anomalies. RESULTS Healthy donor lymphocytes before irradiation yielded 0.1% dicentrics and 0.3% translocations of chromosome 4 (Chr. 4), that is 2.5% for the whole genome. Patients before irradiation had 2% of dicentrics and 1.1% of chromosome 4 translocations. The biologically estimated dose of the 15 patients after exposure to 1.8 Gy was 1.93 Gy (95% CI: 1.85-2.05) according to CCG, and 2.06 Gy (95% CI: 1.75-2.15) by FISH. CONCLUSION The dose estimated by biological dosimetry, in this case of homogeneously distributed radiation of TBI agrees well with the absorbed radiation dose calculated by physical dosimetry.

Abstract
In vivo testing of Plasmodium falciparum sensitivity to chloroquine was carried out in four rural sites of differing socio-geographical environment in Côte d'Ivoire. Of a total of 1282 patients of all ages with fever or previous history of fever, 649 were slide positive, with 435 patients with a pure P. falciparum infection; 191 fulfilled all the criteria for inclusion in this study, and 113 completed it. Treatment failure rates ranged from 9.7% (Djébonoua) to 38.1% (Tiéviéssou), and were most often associated with higher degrees of resistance (RII = 54.2%; RIII = 37.5%). Blood chloroquine levels measured by ELISA test suggest that many people take chloroquine routinely; furthermore 37.5% of resistance cases occurred in subjects who had high blood chloroquine concentrations on day 0. Twenty-three out of 24 cases of resistance were found in children under 7 years of age. Nearly all children with persisting parasitaemia were afebrile on day 7, even those (7/8) with RIII resistance. Children aged < 7 years represent the the best sentinel group for monitoring P. falciparum sensitivity to chloroquine in Côte d'Ivoire.
