Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (IALL). Methods: A retrospective cohort study.Clinical data, treatment and prognosis of 28 cases of IALL who have been treated at Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University and Baoding Children's Hospital from October 2013 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the results of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), all patients were divided into KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R) positive group and KMT2A-R negative group. The prognosis of two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test were used to analyze the survival of the patients. Results: Among 28 cases of IALL, there were 10 males and 18 females, with the onset age of 10.9 (9.4,11.8) months. In terms of immune classification, 25 cases were B-ALL (89%), while the remaining 3 cases were T-ALL (11%). Most infant B-ALL showed pro-B lymphocyte phenotype (16/25,64%). A total of 22 cases (79%) obtained chromosome karyotype results, of which 7 were normal karyotypes, no complex karyotypes and 15 were abnormal karyotypes were found. Among abnormal karyotypes, there were 4 cases of t (9; 11), 2 cases of t (4; 11), 2 cases of t (11; 19), 1 case of t (1; 11) and 6 cases of other abnormal karyotypes. A total of 19 cases (68%) were positive for KMT2A-R detected by FISH. The KMT2A fusion gene was detected by real-time PCR in 16 cases (57%). A total of 24 patients completed standardized induction chemotherapy and were able to undergo efficacy evaluation, 23 cases (96%) achieved complete remission through induction chemotherapy, 4 cases (17%) died of relapse. The 5-year event free survival rate (EFS) was (46±13)%, and the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was (73±10)%.The survival time was 31.3 (3.3, 62.5) months. There was no significant statistical difference in 5-year EFS ((46±14)% vs. (61±18)%) and 5-year OS ((64±13)% vs. (86±13)%) between the KMT2A-R positive group (15 cases) and the KMT2A-R negative group (9 cases) (χ2=1.88, 1.47, P=0.170, 0.224). Conclusions: Most IALL patients were accompanied by KMT2A-R. They had poor tolerance to traditional chemotherapy, the relapse rate during treatment was high and the prognosis was poor.

Abstract
Low intrinsic conductivity and large volume expansion seriously restrict the efficient lithium storage performance of metal sulfides. Here, we fabricate a hybrid material of NiS2 nanoparticles/carbon nanohelmets (NiS2/CNHs) to address the above issues. As an anode material in lithium-ion batteries, NiS2/CNHs exhibit excellent cycling stability (490 mA h g-1 after 3000 cycles at 5 A g-1) and rate properties (412 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1), outperforming other NiS x -based anode materials. These remarkable performances originate from the three-dimensional helmet-like integrated architecture of NiS2/CNHs, which reduces the electrode resistance due to the tight combination between NiS2 and CNHs, provides efficient diffusion paths for the electrolyte and Li+ owing to the amorphous nanoporous carbon structure, and significantly mitigates the aggregation and buffers the large volumetric expansion of NiS2 nanoparticles upon long-term cycling thanks to the open three-dimensional architecture and well-dispersed NiS2 nanoparticles on it.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to explore the role of cineMRI in the localization of upper airway obstruction in complicated pediatric OSAS. Method:Eleven persistent OSAS and 11 complex OSAS patients underwent cineMRI. Each patient was imaged midline sagittal and axial magnetic resonance cine image. The obtained sagittal and axial images were displayed in cine format, creating a real time "movie" of airway motion, to make a personalized treatment for each child. Polysomnography was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of cineMRI directed treatment for pediatric OSAS. Result:cineMRI could effectively define the upper airway obstruction level. There was a significant improvement in AHI (P=0.019) and saturation nadir (P<0.01). Conclusion:cineMRI is an effective method for assessing the level of airway obstruction on persistent or complex pediatric OSAS.

Abstract
Phylogeographical analyses on Sinocyclocheilus grahami samples from seven localities within the Lake Dianchi Basin in China were conducted to explore the main factors shaping population structure within this species. Phylogenetic and network analyses revealed two major clades in 24 mtDNA haplotypes. One clade included three haplotypes exclusively from samples of the lower basin and another clade encompassed other haplotypes from samples of the upper basin. The estimated divergence time between the two clades predated the river capture event connecting the lower and upper lake basin and thus supported geographical isolation as the main factor shaping genetic divergence between these two clades. Furthermore, analysis of molecular variance and pair-wise Phi(ST) distances revealed significant genetic differentiation within the upper basin. Mantel tests clearly supported patterns of differentiation arose purely as a result of isolation by distance. These results further highlight the importance of geographical isolation in shaping differentiation within this species.

Abstract
Our previous study demonstrated that experimental intra-abdominal cryptorchidism in adult rabbits for 13 weeks resulted in severe spermatogenic arrest: type A spermatogonia was the only germ cell type seen in the seminiferous epithelium and its number per testis was reduced by 84%. Seven weeks following orchiopexy, the type A spermatogonial number returned to the near-normal range in most animals and spermatogenesis partially recovered (Reproduction 2002, 124, 95-105). This study aimed to determine whether inguinal cryptorchidism would produce less-severe damage to spermatogenesis and whether subsequent orchiopexy would better restore spermatogenesis. Five normal adult male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) underwent bilateral artificial inguinal cryptorchidism. Half a year later, one testis together with the ipsilateral epididymis were removed from each animal and then unilateral orchiopexy was performed on the contralateral side, with the remaining testis and epididymis being removed another half a year later. A contemporary unbiased and efficient stereological tool, the optical disector, was used to estimate numbers of all types of spermatogenic cells in the testis and spermatozoa in the epididymis. Spermatogenic arrest was induced by cryptorchidism at the stage of spermatogonia (n = 1), spermatocytes (n = 2) or early spermatids (n = 1), with the type A spermatogonial numbers per testis being reduced to 14.8-57.2% of the control average; in one of the five cryptorchid animals, however, spermatogenesis remained normal. Subsequent orchiopexy, which was successfully performed on two animals with cryptorchidism-induced spermatogenic arrest, brought on a full or partial recovery of spermatogenesis. In conclusion, inguinal cryptorchidism induces less severe (in comparison with an intra-abdominal one) and variable damage to spermatogenesis, which is restored, at least in part, by subsequent orchiopexy.

Abstract
Vasectomy reversal by vasovasostomy after long-term vasectomy in men results in lower sperm counts and pregnancy rates compared with controls, and severe damage to spermatogenesis has been observed in some animal models such as mice. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate, using sophisticated stereological methods, whether vasectomy of 6 and 12 months in a non-human primate would lead to, among other morphometric changes, reduced numbers of germ cells in testes and spermatozoa in epididymides. Five normal adult male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) underwent bilateral vasectomy, with another three aged-matched normal monkeys not undergoing vasectomy. One testis together with the ipsilateral epididymis was removed from each animal at 6 months, and the other testis and epididymis, the prostate gland and seminal vesicles were removed at 12 months. Various morphometric data were obtained using stereological methods and an unbiased and efficient stereological tool, the optical disector, was used to estimate nuclear numbers of all types of spermatogenic cells in testes and spermatozoa in epididymides using methacrylate-embedded sections 25 microm in thickness. As shown by a two-way repeated measures analysis of variance, vasectomy or hemicastration (removal of the organs at 6 months) had no significant effects on all quantitative parameters of stereology obtained from the testis, epididymis, prostate gland and seminal vesicle, except that (i) sperm granuloma was observed from three of five vasectomized animals both at 6 and 12 months, and (ii) hemicastration significantly reduced the diameter of the seminiferous tubules and increased the number of type A spermatogonia per testis. In conclusion, vasectomy in the non-human primate is a safe procedure in terms of effects on the structures of the reproductive organs.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the controversial effects of experimental unilateral cryptorchidism and subsequent orchiopexy on the number of germ cells and other morphometric characteristics of testicular and epididymal structures in adult rabbits. Unilateral cryptorchidism was induced in 11 mature male New Zealand white rabbits by returning one testis, together with the ipsilateral epididymis, to the abdominal cavity via a surgical procedure. After 3 months, testes and epididymides were removed from six animals (and from six age-matched control animals that did not undergo the surgery). Orchiopexy was performed on the five remaining animals and the testes and epididymides of these animals (and an additional six age-matched control animals) were removed 7 weeks later. A contemporary, unbiased and efficient stereological tool, the optical disector, was used to estimate the number of nuclei in the testis and epididymis using methacrylate-embedded sections of 25 micron in thickness. Cryptorchidism resulted in severe testicular atrophy and spermatogenic arrest: type A spermatogonia and Sertoli cells only were seen in the seminiferous epithelium, and the number of type A spermatogonia per testis was reduced by 84%. After orchiopexy, the testis remained atrophied and the number of type A spermatogonia returned to the near-normal range in four of five animals, but spermatogenesis was recovered only partially at the stage of early primary spermatocytes (one animal), late primary spermatocytes (two animals) or spermatids (one animal). In conclusion, cryptorchidism caused severe spermatogenic arrest that was potentially recoverable (in view of the restoration of the number of type A spermatogonia), but orchiopexy failed to induce full recovery of spermatogenesis.

Abstract
Histologic and genetic mapping with 30 hypervariable markers mapped to chromosome 16 were performed on 234 DNA samples of five cystectomy specimens from patients with invasive bladder cancer. Allelic losses of individual markers were related to microscopically identified precursor conditions in the entire bladder mucosa and invasive cancer. Their significance for the development and progression of neoplasia from in situ preneoplastic conditions to invasive disease was analysed by the nearest neighbor algorithm and binomial maximum likelihood analysis. Using this approach we identified five distinct regions of allelic losses defined by their flanking markers and predicted size as follows. p13.3(D16S418-D16S406, 1.2 cM), p13.1(D16S748-D16S287, 12.9 cM), q12 1(D16S409-D16S514, 24.0 cM), q22.1 (D16S496-D16S515, 5.4 cM), and q24 (D16S507-D16S511, 5.9 cM and D16S402-D16S413, 17.4 cM). The regions mapping to p13.1 and q24 were involved in early intraurothelial phases of bladder neoplasia such as mild to moderate dysplasia. On the other hand the deleted region mapping to p13.3 was involved in progression of severe dysplasia/carcinoma in situ to invasive bladder cancer. Testing of markers that exhibited statistically significant LOH in relation to progression of neoplasia from precursor conditions to invasive cancer on 28 tumors and voided urine samples from 25 patients with bladder cancer revealed that q12.1 showed LOH in 46.4% of tumor and 32.0% of voided urine samples. The LOH of a single marker D16S541 could be detected in approximately 28% of tumors and 20% of voided urine samples of patients with bladder cancer. These data imply that the deleted region centered around marker D16S541 spanning approximately 10 cM and flanked by D16S409 and D16S415 contains a novel putative tumor suppressor gene or genes playing an important role in the development of human bladder cancer. To facilitate more precise positional mapping and identification of pathogenetically relevant genes, we analysed of human genome contig and sequence databases spanning the deleted regions. Multiple known candidate genes and several smaller gene-rich areas mapping to the target regions of chromosome 16 were identified.

Abstract
We studied the evolution of allelic losses on chromosome 5 by whole-organ histologic and genetic mapping in 234 mucosal DNA samples of 5 cystectomy specimens with invasive bladder cancer and preneoplastic changes in adjacent urothelium. The frequency of alterations in individual loci was verified on 32 tumors and 29 voided urine samples from patients with bladder cancer. Finally, deleted regions on chromosome 5 were integrated with the human genome contigs and sequence-based databases. Deleted regions on chromosome 5 involved in intraurothelial phases of bladder neoplasia defined by their nearest flanking markers and predicted size were identified as follows: q13.3-q22 (D5S424-D5S656; 38.8 centimorgan [cM]); q22-q31.1 (D5S656-D5S808; 19.2 cM), q31.1-q32 (D5S816-SPARC; 11.5 cM), and q34 (GABRA1-D5S415; 6.4 cM). The two most frequently deleted neighbor markers (D5S2055 and D5S818) mapping to q22-q31.1 defined a 9 cM region, which may contain genes that play an important role in early phases of urinary bladder carcinogenesis. Human genome database analysis provided an accurate map of deleted regions with positions of 138 known genes and revealed several smaller gene-rich areas representing putative targets for further mapping. The strategic approach presented here, which combines whole-organ histologic and genetic mapping with analysis of the rapidly emerging human genome sequence database, facilitates identification of genes potentially involved in early phases of bladder carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Friable embryogenic calli were obtained on a modified N6 medium (NBD medium) from a winter wheat cultivar "Jinghua No. 1" (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Jinghua No. 1) and were transferred to a modified MS liquid medium (MSDL medium) to initiate embryogenic suspension cultures. Protoplasts were isolated from the suspensions and cultured on a modified MS medium (MSDP medium). The somatic embryoids were formed directly from the protoplasts and germinated into entire plants. The development of the somatic embryoids was very similar to that of zygotic embryos of wheat.

Abstract
Brain metastases are clinically diagnosed in the majority of patients with metastatic melanoma. The prognosis for patients with melanoma brain metastasis is poor with a median survival time of 6 months after diagnosis. Development of better therapies requires a better understanding of the biology of melanoma brain metastasis. The development of a relevant in vivo model offers this possibility. The intracarotid injection of different murine or human melanoma cells into syngeneic or nude mice produces metastases in different regions of the brain. This site-specific metastasis is not due to patterns of initial cell arrest, motility, or invasiveness, but rather to the ability of melanoma cells to proliferate in the brain parenchyma or the meninges. The blood-brain barrier is intact in metastases that are smaller than 0.25 mm in diameter. Although in larger metastases the blood-brain barrier is leaky, the lesions are resistant to many chemotherapeutic drugs. We have also analyzed the malignant behavior of several melanoma cell lines isolated from brain or visceral metastases of patients. The cells from brain metastases showed a slower growth rate and exhibited lower metastatic potential than cells from visceral metastases, indicating that brain metastases do not necessarily represent the end stage in the metastatic cascade. Rather, brain metastases are likely to originate from a unique subpopulation of cells within the primary neoplasm.

Abstract
Human exposure to botulinum toxin typically occurs in two settings: 1) as an etiologic agent in the disease botulism and 2) as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of dystonia. Epidemiologic studies on botulism suggest that the human nervous system is susceptible to five toxin serotypes (A, B, E, F and G) and resistant to two (C and D). In the past, these epidemiologic findings have been used as the basis for selecting serotypes that should be tested as therapeutic agents for dystonia. Epidemiologic data have been utilized because there are no studies of botulinum neurotoxin action on isolated human nerves. In the present study, electrophysiologic techniques were used to monitor toxin effects on neuromuscular transmission in surgically excised human pyramidalis muscles, ligand binding studies were done to detect and characterize toxin receptors in human nerve membrane preparations, and molecular biologic techniques were used to isolate and sequence a human gene that encodes a substrate for botulinum neurotoxin. The results demonstrated that stable resting membrane potentials (-61.5 mV; S.E.M. +/- 0.7) were maintained in individual fibers of pyramidalis muscle for up to 6 hr at 33 degrees C. The rate of spontaneous miniature endplate potentials was low in physiologic solution (0.14 sec(-1)) but increased in response to elevations in extracellular potassium concentration. In keeping with epidemiologic findings, botulinum toxin type A (10(-8) M) paralyzed transmission in human preparations (ca. 90 min). In contrast to epidemiologic findings, serotype C (10(-8) M) also paralyzed human tissues (ca. 65 min). Iodinated botulinum toxin displayed high-affinity binding to receptors in human nerve membrane preparations (serotype A high-affinity site: K(d) = 0.3 nM, B(max) = 0.78 pmol/mg protein; serotype C high-affinity site: K(d) = 1.96 nM, B(max) = 8.9 pmol/mg protein). In addition, the human nervous system was found to encode polypeptides that are substrates for botulinum neurotoxin types A (synaptosomal-associated protein of M(r) 25,000) and C (syntaxin 1A). These data have important implications bearing on: 1) the development and administration of vaccines against botulism and 2) the testing of toxin serotypes for the treatment of dystonia.

Abstract
In glass bottle inspection, the defects detection is of first importance. For online system detection, high speed and robust detection of faults are highly required. Neural networks have recently, and successfully, been applied to fault detection in many manufacturing processes. In this study, a Gaussian neural network, an extension of the RBF network, trained through a competitive algorithm, has been chosen for fault detection. Four parameters extracted from images of the bottles are used as inputs of the network. The number of Gaussian units is adjusted by an informational criterion. Experimental results show that the performance of this network are better than classical parametric and non parametric classifiers.

Abstract
CR2 (CD21), the EBV receptor, was detected on three of four CD4-positive cell lines by indirect fluorescent labeling, and its corresponding mRNA was found by use of the reverse transcription-based polymerase chain reaction. To determine whether CR2 on CD4-positive cells was functional, their ability to be infected by EBV was analyzed. EBV DNA, EBV nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA-2A), and EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER1) transcripts could be detected in CR2-expressing CD4-positive cells following infection by the B95.8 strain of EBV. Analysis of the terminal region showed the EBV genome remained linear following infection, and copy number decreased with time. Since CD4-positive cell lines are targets for HIV-1 infection, the effects of EBV infection on HIV-1 expression were analyzed. HIV-1 replication was upregulated when CD4-positive cells were coinfected with EBV strain B95.8 but not P3HR-1K. These results suggested that EBNA-2 is involved in upregulation of HIV-1 expression in T lymphoblastoid cell lines. To test this hypothesis an EBNA-2-expression vector was transfected into T lymphoblastoid cell lines and HIV-1 expression measured. First, trans-activation of HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) by Tat was enhanced by EBNA-2 type 1 expression. trans-Activation of the HIV-1 LTR by Tat was also enhanced when CD4-positive cells were infected by EBV (strain B95.8) encoding an intact EBNA-2, but not by P3HR-1K with a deleted EBNA-2. In addition, CD4-positive cell clones stably expressing EBNA-2 supported enhanced HIV-1 replication as measured by accumulation of reverse transcriptase activity and syncytium induction. This provides direct evidence that EBV infection can enhance HIV-1 replication in T cells. Whether this in vitro phenomenon contributes to disease progression in vivo remains to be determined.

Abstract
CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes purified from normal adult donors by flow cytometry could be infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) as measured by the accumulation of components of the EBV replicative cycle, viral DNA and viral transcripts encoding EBER1 and BRLF1. EBV infection resulted in enhanced replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) IIIB in CD4+ lymphocytes as measured by accumulation of reverse transcriptase and formation of syncytia. Furthermore, a small percentage of CD8+ T cells became permissive after infection with EBV. Inactivation of transforming functions by irradiation with UV light greatly reduced the ability of EBV to enhance HIV-1 replication in T4+ T cell, suggesting that live virus is needed for enhancement. These results demonstrate a direct synergy between EBV and HIV-1 during coinfection of T cells in vitro and may explain the beneficial effect of acyclovir in combination with antiretroviral chemotherapy as well as the increased incidence of T-cell lymphomas associated with EBV in patients with AIDS.

Abstract
Tetanus toxin is a zinc-dependent metalloendoprotease that cleaves synaptobrevin, a polypeptide found in the membranes of synaptic vesicles. This action is thought to account for toxin-induced blockade of transmitter release. However, Facchiano and Luini (Fachiano, F., and Luini, A. (1992) J. Biol Chem. 267, 13267-13271) have proposed that tetanus toxin can stimulate transglutaminase, and Facchiano et al. (Facchiano, F., Benfenati, F., Valtorta, F., and Luini, A. (1993) J. Biol Chem. 268, 4588-4591) have further proposed that the stimulated enzyme produces cross-linking of synapsin. These actions might also account for toxin-induced blockade of exocytosis. Therefore, a series of experiments were performed to evaluate the possibility that tetanus toxin exerts its effects via transglutaminase. The results indicated that clostridial neurotoxins were poor substrates for the cross-linking effects of transglutaminase, and transglutaminase was a poor substrate for the proteolytic actions of tetanus toxin. In addition, at concentrations relevant to blockade of exocytosis, clostridial neurotoxins did not act on intact cells to stimulate transglutaminase, nor did they act on the isolated enzyme to stimulate cross-linking of putrescine and dimethylcasein. When used as competitive inhibitors of endogenous transglutaminase substrates, glycine methyl ester and monodansylcadaverine did not block toxin action. Furthermore, concentrations of calcium that were too low to support transglutaminase activity did not prevent toxin action. The data suggest that stimulation of transglutaminase is not the principal mechanism by which tetanus toxin blocks exocytosis in nerve cells.

Abstract
We have examined for synergy between the IIIB strain of HIV-1 and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) during infection of a homogeneous cell type. In order to obtain a cell population consisting of a homogeneous cell type, CD19-positive B lymphocytes were purified from human tonsils by flow cytometry. CD19-positive lymphocytes did not express detectable surface CD4 antigen. However, CD4 mRNA could be detected in CD19-positive lymphocytes by reverse transcription coupled to polymerase chain reaction and by dot blot hybridization using an antisense riboprobe. Transcription of CD4 mRNA in CD19-positive lymphocytes was suppressed by infection with the B95-8 strain of EBV and lost in B95-8-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines. In contrast, the P3HR-1K strain of EBV had no effect on the level of CD4 mRNA. HIV-1 could infect CD19-sorted B cells as measured by accumulation of reverse transcriptase and syncytia induction after coculture with SupT1 cells. HIV-1 infection of CD19-bearing lymphocytes was blocked by OKT4a antibodies. The ability of HIV-1 to replicate in CD19-positive B lymphocytes declined following preinfection with B95-8 but not with P3HR-1K. These results as well as results with an EBNA-2 expression vector suggest that down-regulation of both CD4 mRNA and HIV-1 infection in human B cells is a function of EBV nuclear antigen EBNA-2. The fact that native CD19-positive B lymphocytes express sufficient CD4 receptor mRNA to allow HIV-1 infection strengthens the possibility that HIV-1 replication in B cells directly participates in AIDS pathogenesis. In addition, infection with EBV may modulate the ability of HIV-1 to infect and establish a latent infection in B lymphocytes in co-infected individuals.

Abstract
This study clarified whether and when the blood-brain barrier in experimental brain metastases is impaired by using hydrosoluble sodium fluorescein (MW 376) as a blood-brain barrier function indicator. Cells from eight human tumor lines (four melanomas, two breast carcinomas, one colon carcinoma, and one renal carcinoma) were inoculated into the internal carotid artery of nude mice. Brain metastases at different stages of development were sampled and the permeability of the blood-brain barrier around the metastases determined. Histologic examination showed two patterns of tumor growth. In the first, tumor cells formed isolated, well-defined nodules in the parenchyma of the brain. In lesions smaller than 0.2 mm2, the blood-brain barrier was intact. In the second, small diffuse nests of tumor cells were distributed throughout the brain parenchyma. The blood-brain barrier was intact until the small tumor cell colonies coalesced to form large tumor masses. These results suggest that the permeability of the blood-brain barrier varies among different experimental brain metastases and that its function is related to the growth pattern and size of the lesions.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) IIIB expression and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) B95.8-induced transformation were studied during coinfection. Coinfection of peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) cultures with HIV and EBV resulted in down-regulation of HIV expression. EBV-induced and spontaneous transformation were markedly reduced in PBL cultures exposed to HIV before EBV. On the other hand, transformation was enhanced when PBL cultures were infected with HIV either simultaneous to or after EBV. Reconstitution of EBV-infected B cell cultures with autochthonous T cells demonstrated that HIV-infected T cells had a reduced ability to inhibit EBV-induced transformation. PHA stimulation of HIV-infected T cells eliminated their ability to inhibit EBV-induced transformation. Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) established from coinfected PBLs expressed B cell markers and were EBV positive, while a large proportion of the LCLs expressed HIV antigens, released reverse transcriptase activity into the supernatant, and produced syncytia when cocultivated with indicator cell line SupT1. HIV provirus could be detected in LCLs established from coinfected cultures by PCR amplification using specific sets of amplimers for gag and env genes of HIV. To more closely examine the role of various cell types in lymphocyte transformation and HIV replication during coinfection, experiments were carried out using subpopulations enriched for either B or T cells. Simultaneous coinfection of purified B cells with EBV and HIV resulted in a marked reduction of HIV expression, whereas EBV-induced transformation was enhanced. In contrast, spontaneous B cell transformation was inhibited by HIV. A proportion of LCLs established from purified B cells coinfected with EBV and HIV expressed HIV antigens, released reverse transcriptase activity, and produced syncytia on SupT1 cells. These results demonstrate that the IIIB strain of HIV and B95.8 strain of EBV can interact during coinfection of B cells to alter the course of virus expression.

Abstract
We studied the correlation between the formation of brain metastasis and the malignant growth potential of seven human melanoma cell lines, isolated from lymph node metastases (A375-SM, TXM-1, DM-4) or from brain metastases (TXM-13, TXM-18, TXM-34, TXM-40), and the potential of three variants of the mouse K-1735 melanoma. Growth rates in different concentrations of fetal bovine serum and colony-forming efficiency in semisolid agarose were measured, and the tumorigenicity and metastatic ability were determined in nude mice (for the human melanoma cell lines) or in C3H/HeN mice (for the K-1735 variants). The ability to form brain metastasis was tested by injection of cells into the carotid artery. A high colony-forming efficiency in agarose, especially at concentrations of agarose greater than 0.6%, corresponded with high tumor take rates, rapid tumor growth rates, and metastatic colonization of the lungs of the recipient mice. For the human melanomas, the lymph node metastasis-derived cells were more tumorigenic and metastatic than the brain metastasis-derived cells. In the K-1735 mouse melanoma, the tumorigenic and metastatic behavior of the cells after i.v. and s.c. injection corresponded with growth in agarose cultures. However, for growth in the brain after intracarotid injection, the different melanoma cell lines showed similar frequencies of tumor take, regardless of tumorigenicity in other sites of the recipient mice, although mice given injections of brain metastasis-derived cells survived longer than mice given injections of lymph node metastasis (human melanoma) or lung metastasis (K-1735 M-2)-derived cell lines. The results from the human and mouse melanoma cell lines show that the brain metastasis-derived cell lines were not more malignant than the lymph node or lung metastasis-derived cells. These data imply that the production of brain metastasis is not always the final stage of a metastatic cascade.

Abstract
Athymic nude mice have been used in recent years to study the biology of human tumors and to assess therapeutic responses in vivo rather than just in vitro. Some human tumors metastasize in nude mice, providing model systems for analyzing various aspects of the metastatic phenotype of human neoplasms. For breast carcinomas, however, the tumor-take rate of surgical specimens is low, and only a limited number of cell lines proliferate in nude mice. The site of injection of the breast carcinoma cells is important; tumors grow at a lower inoculum dose and with shorter latent intervals after implantation in the mammary fatpad of nude mice than after injection in the subcutis. One breast carcinoma cell line, MDA-MB-435, metastasizes from mammary fatpad tumors to lymph nodes, lungs, and other visceral organs. In contrast, two other cell lines show lower metastatic ability. Intravenous injection and injection of tumor cells into the internal carotid artery of nude mice produces lung and brain metastases, respectively, thus simulating the arrest and organ colonizing steps of the metastatic cascade. These different techniques demonstrate the potential of experimental studies of human breast cancer growth and metastasis using nude mice.

Abstract
There are few reports describing experimental models of the growth and metastasis of human breast carcinomas. This article discusses the tumorigenic and metastatic properties of two estrogen receptor-negative breast carcinomas injected into nude mice. Tumor growth in the mammary fatpad (m.f.p.) and the subcutis was compared in female nude mice. The injection of 10(5) viable cells of two human breast carcinoma cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435) gave a 100% tumor take rate in the m.f.p., whereas only 40% of the s.c. injections produced tumors and these occurred several weeks after the appearance of the m.f.p. tumors. Thus, the m.f.p. of nude mice is a favorable site for the growth of human breast carcinomas. MDA-MB-435 tumors produced distant metastases in 80% to 100% of recipients. The most common sites for metastasis were the lymph nodes and lungs, with a lower incidence of metastases in muscle (chest wall and thigh), heart, and brain. New variant cell lines were isolated from metastases in the lungs, brain, and heart. All the cell lines were tumorigenic in the m.f.p., and the lung- and heart-derived metastasis lines produced slightly more lung metastases than the original cell line. However, the brain metastasis variant produced significantly fewer lung metastases. Intravenous inoculation of the spontaneous metastasis-derived cell lines produced few lung colonies. Only cell variants isolated from experimental lung metastases showed enhanced lung colonization potential when reinjected i.v. Our results suggest that the estrogen receptor-negative MDA-MB-435 cell line injected in the m.f.p. of nude mice could be a valuable tool for analysis of the cellular and molecular basis of the metastasis of advanced breast cancer.

Abstract
Cells from eight different human melanomas and two murine melanomas were injected into the internal carotid artery of anesthetized nude mice. Although all were injected by the same route, particular melanomas produced lesions in different regions of the brain. Two melanoma cell lines isolated originally from brain metastases in patients produced metastases predominantly in the brain parenchyma. In contrast, melanoma cells from subcutaneous or lymph node metastases produced more lesions in the meninges, choroid plexus, and ventricles than in the brain parenchyma. All of the melanomas grew in the brain after a direct intracerebral injection. The pattern of brain metastasis did not correlate with tumorigenicity per se or with the ability of the melanomas to grow in the lungs of nude mice. Two mouse melanomas showed different patterns of experimental metastasis after internal carotid artery injection, with one growing predominantly in the parenchyma and the other more frequently in the meninges and choroid plexus. The growth pattern of human melanoma metastasis in the brain of T cell-deficient nude mice suggests that it is determined by properties unique to each tumor interacting with the host's organ microenvironment.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the degree of anchorage-independent growth of human tumor cells in increasing concentrations of agarose correlated with the capacity of the cells to produce experimental metastases in nude mice. Human melanoma, breast carcinoma, and colon carcinoma cells from parental lines and variants selected in vivo for metastasis and in vitro cloned lines were plated into medium containing 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, or 1.2% of agarose. These cells were also injected into nude mice: intravenously for melanoma, into the mammary fat pad for breast carcinoma, and into the spleen for colon carcinoma. Production of tumor cell colonies in dense agarose (greater than 0.6%) correlated with production of experimental metastases in the lung (melanoma, breast carcinoma) or liver (colon carcinoma). We conclude that the degree of anchorage-independent growth of tumor cells can predict their biological behavior and metastatic potential in vivo. Thus, this technique may be useful for the isolation of metastatic cells from heterogeneous human neoplasms.

Abstract
The production of the dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) bifunctional protein of Plasmodium falciparum was measured in the wild type, pyrimethamine sensitive strain, FCR3, and in a pyrimethamine resistant mutant, FCR3-D7, which contains a DHFR-TS gene duplication that overproduces a mutant enzyme. The DHFR-TS content in both strains began to increase significantly from the early trophozoite stage through schizogony. The DHFR-TS content in either the ring or trophozoite-schizont stage parasites remained constant for at least 9 hr in the presence of protein synthesis-inhibitory levels of cycloheximide, which suggested that the measure of enzyme accumulation was a measure of enzyme synthesis. Actinomycin D treated parasites did not accumulate DHFR-TS which suggested that the DHFR-TS mRNA had a short half-life. DHFR-TS accumulated in the presence of aphidicolin inhibition of DNA synthesis which indicated that both syntheses could be uncoupled.
