Chemie kontra Papierzerfall. Papierkonservierung
Authors: Roth Klaus
Published: February 2006

Papier ist geduldig, aber vergänglich. In den wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken Deutschlands sind 200 Millionen Bücher gefährdet. Ein großer Teil davon kann heute schon nicht mehr normal benutzt werden. Um das Archivgut, d.h. unsere ganze amtliche Geschichte, steht es genauso schlecht: allein im Bundesarchiv warten 300 laufende Kilometer (!) Unterlagen auf eine Konservierung. Verfahren zur Konservierung sind in den letzten Jahren entwickelt worden, kommen aber für viele Akten bereits zu spät. Ein Blick in die Chemie des Zerfalls und der Konservierung von altem Papier.
Halfen vulkanische Gase bei der Entstehung des Lebens mit?
Authors: Groß Michael
Published: February 2006

Der Ursprung des Lebens – also die Frage, wie aus den kleinen organischen Molekülen, die sich vermutlich in der “Ursuppe” befanden, hinreichend komplexe Makromoleküle entstehen konnten, die dann den Evolutionsprozess starteten – gehört zu den schwierigsten Problemen der Biowissenschaften.

Research by Klein and co‐workers suggests that the inhibition of GSK‐3β by small molecules may offer an important strategy in the treatment of a number of central nervous system (CNS) disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and bipolar disorders. Based on results from kinase‐screening assays that identified a staurosporine analogue as a modest inhibitor of GSK‐3β, a series of 3‐indolyl‐4‐indazolylmaleimides was prepared for study in both enzymatic and cell‐based assays. Most strikingly, whereas we identified ligands having poor to high potency for GSK‐3β inhibition, only ligands with a Ki value of less than 8 nM, namely maleimides 18 and 22, were found to inhibit Tau phosphorylation at a GSK‐3β‐specific site (Ser 396/404). Accordingly, maleimides 18 and 22 may protect neuronal cells against cell death by decreasing the level of α‐Syn protein expression. We conclude that the GSK‐3β inhibitors described herein offer promise in defending cells against MPP+‐induced neurotoxicity and that such compounds will be valuable to explore in animal models of Parkinson's disease as well as in other Tau‐related neurodegenerative disease states.

To understand the structural basis for bisphosphonate therapy of bone diseases, we solved the crystal structures of human farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) in its unliganded state, in complex with the nitrogen‐containing bisphosphonate (N‐BP) drugs zoledronate, pamidronate, alendronate, and ibandronate, and in the ternary complex with zoledronate and the substrate isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP). By revealing three structural snapshots of the enzyme catalytic cycle, each associated with a distinct conformational state, and details about the interactions with N‐BPs, these structures provide a novel understanding of the mechanism of FPPS catalysis and inhibition. In particular, the accumulating substrate, IPP, was found to bind to and stabilize the FPPS–N‐BP complexes rather than to compete with and displace the N‐BP inhibitor. Stabilization of the FPPS–N‐BP complex through IPP binding is supported by differential scanning calorimetry analyses of a set of representative N‐BPs. Among other factors such as high binding affinity for bone mineral, this particular mode of FPPS inhibition contributes to the exceptional in vivo efficacy of N‐BP drugs. Moreover, our data form the basis for structure‐guided design of optimized N‐BPs with improved pharmacological properties.

BACKGROUND

The survival of patients with locoregional adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) who receive preoperative chemoradiation is reported to be better among patients who achieve a pathologic complete response than among patients who have residual tumor, including lymph node (LN) metastasis. However, the prognostic significance of the number of LNs with residual metastasis remains unclear.

METHODS

The authors studied 187 consecutive patients who received chemoradiation followed by an esophagectomy. The number of positive LNs and the size of metastatic tumor in each positive LN were examined with regard to overall survival (OS) and recurrence‐free survival (RFS).

RESULTS

A pathologic complete response was achieved by 29% of patients. No LN metastasis (posttherapy pathologic negative LN status [ypN0]) was present in 49% of patients who had residual carcinoma, and LN metastasis (ypN1) was present in 51% of patients. The 5‐year OS and 2‐year RFS rates achieved by patients who had 1 positive LN (34% and 45%, respectively) were similar to the rates achieved by patients in the ypN0 group (38% [P = 0.84] and 50% [P = 0.77], respectively) but were significantly better than the rates achieved by patients who had ≥ 2 positive LNs (6% [P = 0.02] and 18% [P = 0.01], respectively). The size of metastatic tumor in LNs among patients who had 1 positive LN was a prognostic factor (≥ 4 mm vs. < 4 mm; P = 0.04). In multivariate analysis, OS was better in patients who had 1 LN metastasis among patients in the ypN1 group (P = 0.02) independent of their posttherapy pathologic tumor status.

CONCLUSIONS

The current results suggested that the number of LNs with metastasis is an independent prognostic factor in patients with residual adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or the EGJ after preoperative chemoradiation. The authors suggest modification of the tumor‐lymph node‐metastasis (TNM) staging classification (ypTNM) to include the number of positive LNs in the ypN1 category.

First‐ and second‐line chemotherapy with docetaxel or mitoxantrone in patients with hormone‐refractory prostate cancer
Authors: Michels Jorg , Montemurro Trina , Murray Nevin , Kollmannsberger Christian , Nguyen Chi Kim
Published: February 2006

BACKGROUND

Docetaxel and mitoxantrone are considered first‐line chemotherapeutic options in patients with hormone‐refractory prostate cancer (HRPC), but their clinical effectiveness in a second‐line setting is unknown. Therefore, the authors conducted a population‐based retrospective study to establish activity and tolerability of second‐line docetaxel or mitoxantrone in HRPC.

METHODS

The study included 68 patients who had failed androgen ablation therapy and who received docetaxel and mitoxantrone in either sequence. Clinical efficacy in terms of median overall survival (OS), progression‐free survival (PFS), posttreatment prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) decline of ≥ 50% and treatment‐related toxicity were evaluated.

RESULTS

Of 68 patients, 35 received docetaxel followed by mitoxantrone, and 33 received mitoxantrone followed by docetaxel. Both groups were comparable for recognized pretreatment prognostic factors. Patients who received docetaxel first‐line had a trend toward longer median OS compared with patients treated with second‐line docetaxel after mitoxantrone failure (22 mos, 95% confidence interval [CI], 17.2–26.8 mos vs. 15 mos, 95% CI, 10.4–19.6 mos). Median number of second‐line chemotherapy cycles was 3 and median PFS survival was 2–3 months in both groups. Second‐line docetaxel produced a higher PSA response compared with mitoxantrone (38% vs. 12%, P = 0.012), but this did not translate to a survival benefit. Both second‐line docetaxel and mitoxantrone were associated with a high frequency of treatment‐related adverse events that resulted in dose reduction, delay, or discontinuation (64% and 46% of patients, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Study results favored docetaxel given up‐front for patients with HRPC considered suitable for further chemotherapy. Second‐line docetaxel or mitoxantrone had limited efficacy and tolerability. Patients who are candidates for second‐line chemotherapy, should be enrolled into clinical trials. Cancer 2006. © 2006 American Cancer Society.

Authors: Kusamura Shigeki , Younan Rami , Baratti Dario , Costanzo Pasqualina , Favaro Myriam , Gavazzi Cecilia , Deraco Marcello
Published: February 2006

BACKGROUND

The purpose of this prospective Phase II study was to analyze morbidity and mortality of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion (IPHP) in the treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies.

METHODS

A total of 205 patients (50 with peritoneal mesothelioma, 49 with pseudomyxoma peritonei, 41 with ovarian cancer, 32 with abdominal sarcomatosis, 13 with colon cancer, 12 with gastric cancer, and 8 with carcinomatosis from other origins) underwent 209 consecutive procedures. Four patients underwent the intervention twice because of disease relapse. There were 70 men and 135 women. Mean age was 52 years (range, 22–76 yrs). CRS was performed by using peritonectomy procedures. IPHP through the closed abdomen technique was conducted with a preheated (42.5 °C) perfusate containing cisplatin + mitomycin C or cisplatin + doxorubicin.

RESULTS

Major morbidity rate was 12%. The most significant complications were 23 anastomotic leaks or bowel perforations, 4 abdominal bleeds, and 4 sepses. Operative mortality rate was 0.9%. On logistic regression model multivariate analysis, extent of cytoreduction (odds ratio [OR], 2.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29–6.40) and dose of cisplatin for IPHP ≥ 240 mg (OR, 3.13; 95% CI, 1.24–7.90) were independent risk factors for major morbidity. Ten patients presented with Grade 3 to 4 toxicity.

CONCLUSIONS

CRS + IPHP presented acceptable morbidity, toxicity, and mortality rates, all of which support prospective Phase III clinical trials. Cancer 2006. © 2006 American Cancer Society.

Authors: Perlet Claudia , Heywang‐Kobrunner Sylvia H. , Heinig Anke , Sittek Harald , Casselman Jan , Anderson Ingvar , Taourel Patrick
Published: February 2006

BACKGROUND

The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy, reproducibility, and clinical value of magnetic resonance (MR)‐guided, vacuum‐assisted breast biopsy (MR‐VAB) in a prospective, multicenter study.

METHODS

In 5 European centers, MR‐VAB was performed or attempted on 538 suspicious lesions that were visible or could targeted only by MR imaging (MRI). Verification of malignant or borderline lesions included reexcision of the biopsy cavity. Benign biopsy results were verified by retrospective correlation of histology with preinterventional and postinterventional MRI studies. Follow‐up of 24–48 months (median, 32 months) was available for 491 of 538 patients.

RESULTS

MR‐VAB was unsuccessful or was not completed in 21 of 538 patients, for which an immediate repeat biopsy was recommended. Five hundred seventeen of 538 performed VAB procedures (96%) were successful. Histology yielded 138 (27%) malignancies, 17 (3%) atypical ductal hyperplasias, and 362 (70%) benign entities. No false‐negative diagnoses occurred among the 517 successful MR‐VAB procedures. The positive predictive value of VAB depended on patient preselection, which differed according to the indication for the initial MRI study.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this study indicated that MR‐VAB offers excellent accuracy. Small lesion size did not prove to be a limitation. Cancer 2006. © 2006 American Cancer Society.
K‐ras mutations in incident sporadic colorectal adenomas
Authors: Barry Elizabeth L. R. , Baron John A. , Grau Maria V. , Wallace Kristin , Haile Robert W.
Published: February 2006

BACKGROUND

Although K‐ras is the most frequently mutated protooncogene in colorectal carcinoma, the specific role and timing of K‐ras mutations in colorectal carcinogenesis remains controversial. In the current study, the authors investigated associations with K‐ras mutation in incident sporadic colorectal adenomas that occurred during a chemoprevention trial of calcium supplementation.

METHODS

K‐ras genotyping was performed on 303 colorectal adenomas that were removed from 207 participants during the follow‐up phase of the Calcium Polyp Prevention Study. Mutations in codons 12 or 13 of K‐ras were detected by denaturing high‐performance liquid chromatography and were confirmed by direct sequencing.

RESULTS

The adenomas analyzed had a mean estimated size of 0.5 cm, and 3.0% were identified with mutations (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.3–4.4%). These mutations were more common in larger adenomas (risk ratio [RR], 12.7 for tumors that measured > 0.5 cm vs. ≤ 0.5 cm; 95% CI, 2.7–59.7), in adenomas with more advanced histology (RR, 20.6 for tubulovillous/villous vs. tubular; 95% CI, 4.4–96.0), and in adenomas that were located in the rectum compared with the colon (RR, 8.4; 95% CI, 2.3–30.5).

CONCLUSIONS

Compared with previous studies, the current analysis was novel, because it focused on incident adenomas that were diagnosed within a few years of a previous “clean” colonoscopy. The results provided evidence for a very low rate of K‐ras mutation among these small, early adenomas and strong support for a role of K‐ras mutations in adenoma progression.

Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 promoter polymorphism predicts the risk of gastrointestinal toxicity and fatigue induced by irinotecan‐based chemotherapy
Authors: Massacesi Cristian , Terrazzino Salvatore , Marcucci Fabiana , Rocchi Marco B. , Lippe Paolo , Bisonni Renato , Lombardo Marco , Pilone Alberta , Mattioli Rodolfo , Leon Alberta
Published: February 2006

BACKGROUND

In the current Phase II study, the authors evaluated the association between genomic polymorphic variants in uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase (UGT1A1), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and thymidylate synthase (TS) genes, and the incidence of the adverse effects of irinotecan and raltitrexed in previously heavily treated patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma.

METHODS

Fifty‐six patients received irinotecan (at a dose of 80 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 every 5 wks), combined with raltitrexed (at a dose of 3 mg/m2 every 3 wks). Genotyping for the MTHFR C677T polymorphism, the TATA box region in the UGT1A1 promoter, and tandem repeats in the TS promoter was performed on genomic DNA extracted from blood. Nineteen variables related to patient, disease, and treatment characteristics, together with genotypes, were analyzed using a binary logistic regression model with stepwise selection to evaluate their correlation with adverse reactions.

RESULTS

Toxicities (determined according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria) were evaluated in 169 cycles. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was reported to occur in 2% of cycles, Grade 2–4 nausea was reported to occur in 19% of cycles, Grade 2–4 emesis was reported to occur in 9% of cycles, Grade 2–4 diarrhea was reported to occur in 20% of cycles, Grade 2/3 fatigue was reported to occur in 11% of cycles, and Grade 3/4 hepatic toxicity was reported to occur in 7% of cycles. Homozygosis for six TA repeats in the promoter region of the UGT1A1 gene was found to be the main predictive factor for diarrhea (P < 0.00005), emesis (P = 0.0001), and fatigue (P = 0.007). Homozygosis for two tandem repeats in the TS promoter was found to be predictive of a reduced incidence of fatigue (P = 0.044). MTHFR C677T polymorphism was not found to be associated with any adverse reaction.

CONCLUSIONS

In the current study, UGT1A1 promoter polymorphism was found to be predictive of the risk of diarrhea, emesis, and fatigue caused by chemotherapy with irinotecan and raltitrexed. Screening for UGT1A1 promoter polymorphism may be clinically useful for identifying patients at a higher risk of developing a severe or potentially life‐threatening toxicity after irinotecan‐based chemotherapy.

The Leading Role of Association in Framework Modification of Highly Siliceous Zeolites with Adsorbed Methylamine
Authors: Han Ai‐Jie , Guo Juan , Yu Hui , Zeng Yu , Huang Yue‐Fang , He He‐Yong , Long Ying‐Cai
Published: February 2006

Affinity index (AT value), adsorption heat, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and 13C and 29Si magic‐angle spinning (MAS) NMR, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies were used to study the interaction of highly siliceous MFI‐, FAU‐, and FER‐type zeolites with adsorbed methylamine (MA). Compared with the data for methanol, the much higher AT values and adsorption heats, and significant changes in XRD patterns, 29Si MAS NMR spectra, and FTIR spectra for the zeolites after adsorption of MA, revealed a strong hydrogen‐bonding interaction between the perfect framework of the zeolites and the adsorbed MAs. This interaction results from the fact that the H atom of the amine group attacks the [SiO] framework to form a SiO⋅⋅⋅H⋅⋅⋅N bond, which leads to the appearance of SiN bonds in the zeolites at 323 K. Therefore, the zeolite framework can be modified with MA under mild conditions. The highly siliceous MFI zeolite and the H‐ZSM‐5 zeolite with SiO2 /Al2O3=31:1 were modified with MA and investigated by temperature‐programmed desorption of CO2. The modified zeolites exhibited greatly enhanced basic properties in comparison with those of the raw materials. The influence of defects in the zeolite on the adsorption and the interaction with MA is discussed.
