Published: June 2016

ABSTRACTMerkel cells (MCs) are specialized cutaneous receptor cells involved with tactile sense. Although the distribution of MCs has been extensively studied in humans and rodents, their precise distribution and density throughout skin in the dog has not previously been determined. Knowledge of their distribution could facilitate understanding of their functions. By using of immunohistochemistry, density, and anatomical mapping of the MCs population in the dog skin was determined. Assessment of the MCs innervation was also achieved. Different patterns were noted in epidermis, hair follicles, or mucosa, including variable‐sized clusters, linear or horse‐shaped arrangements, and scattered and individualized cells. MCs revealed great variations in density and distribution over the body surface, with the highest numbers in oral mucosa and facial skin. There was no correlation of MCs density with age, sex, type of breed, coat type or pigmentation. Between 41 and 65% of MCs in hairy and glabrous skin and 8–18% of MCs in oral mucosa were in intimate contact with intraepithelial axon terminals. These findings indicate that canine MCs are numerous in sensory receptive areas and may be associated with the tactile sense in the dog. The present article enhances the knowledge of the skin structure in this species. Anat Rec, 299:1157–1164, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
RRM1 *151A>T, RRM1 ‐756T>C, and RRM1 ‐585T>Gis associated with increased susceptibility of lung cancer in Chinese patients

AbstractRibonucleotide reductase M1 (RRM1) is a crucial gene in DNA repair. Recent studies have shown that RRM1 expression can be a powerful predictor of survival or chemotherapy sensitivity in patients presenting with carcinomas who are treated with adjuvant gemcitabine‐based chemotherapy including lung cancer. However, the relationship between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of RRM1 and the susceptibility of lung cancer to chemotherapy has not been well addressed. We detected six tag SNPs of RRM1 genotypes in a cohort of 1007 patients with primary lung cancer and 1007 age‐ and sex‐matched population controls using SNaPshot detection technology. Logistic regression, odds ratios (OR), and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to estimate lung cancer risk associated with SNP genotypes and haplotypes, after adjusting for case–control matching factors. Compared with the T/T and A/T genotype of RRM1 *151A>T, the A/A genotype had an increased risk for overall lung cancer (adjusted OR, 1.33). Additionally, the T/T+T/C genotypes of RRM1 ‐756T>C were risk factors that increased the susceptibility to lung cancer (adjusted OR 1.54, as compared with the C/C genotype). While the T/T+G/T genotypes of RRM1 ‐585T>G behaved as protective factors to increase the susceptibility to lung cancer (adjusted OR 0.44, as compared with the C/C genotype). In summary, this is the first study to systematically identify the relationship between the polymorphisms of RRM1 and individual susceptibility to lung cancer. It is anticipated that the RRM1 *151A>T, RRM1 ‐756T>C, and RRM1 ‐585T>G polymorphisms will improve the predictive prognosis of lung cancer sensitivity.

Published: June 2016

AbstractTransforming acidic coiled‐coil protein 2 (TACC2) belongs to TACC family proteins and involved in a variety of cellular processes through interactions with some molecules involved in centrosomes/microtubules dynamics. Mounting evidence suggests that TACCs is implicated in the progression of some human malignancies, but significance of TACC2 protein in breast carcinoma is still unknown. Therefore, in this study, we examined the clinical significance of TACC2 in breast carcinoma and biological functions by immunohistochemistry and in vitro experiments. Immunohistochemistry for TACC2 was performed in 154 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma. MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐453 breast carcinoma cell lines were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) for TACC2, and subsequently, cell proliferation, 5‐Bromo‐2′‐deoxyuridine (BrdU), and invasion assays were performed. TACC2 immunoreactivity was detected in 78 out of 154 (51%) breast carcinoma tissues, and it was significantly associated with Ki‐67 LI. The immunohistochemical TACC2 status was significantly associated with increased incidence of recurrence and breast cancer‐specific death of the patients, and multivariate analyses demonstrated TACC2 status as an independent prognostic factor for both disease‐free and breast cancer‐specific survival. Subsequent in vitro experiments showed that TACC2 significantly increased the proliferation activity of MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐453. These results suggest that TACC2 plays an important role in the cell proliferation of breast carcinoma and therefore immunohistochemical TACC2 status is a candidate of worse prognostic factor in breast cancer cases.
Prognostic value of the ubiquitin ligase carboxyl terminus of the Hsc70‐interacting protein in postmenopausal breast cancer

Published: June 2016

AbstractThe carboxyl terminus of the Hsc70‐interacting protein (CHIP) is considered to induce the ubiquitination and degradation of several oncogenic proteins, and play a role in the inhibition of tumor progression and invasion under experimental conditions. However, the impact of CHIP expression on the prognosis of breast cancer patients has not yet been established. In this study, using an immunohistochemical method, 272 patients with invasive breast cancer were assessed for the expression of CHIP (graded scores 0‐3) and the statuses of biomarkers, such as estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), and HER2. The relationships between the statuses of CHIP and biomarkers as well as clinical features were also evaluated, and that between the expression of CHIP and patient prognosis was analyzed. We revealed that the strong expression of CHIP correlated with positive ER (P < 0.001), positive PgR (P < 0.001), and negative HER2 (P = 0.02). In postmenopausal patients, relapse‐free survival (RFS) was significantly better in the high CHIP group than in the low CHIP group (P = 0.042). In addition, RFS and cancer‐specific survival (CSS) were significantly better in patients with ER‐positive/CHIP score 3 tumors than in those with ER‐negative/CHIP score 0 tumors (RFS: P = 0.038, CSS: P = 0.0098). The methylation status of CHIP gene promoter did not always account for the down‐regulation of its expression. In conclusion, the overexpression of CHIP is a potent prognostic factor of a good prognosis in ER‐positive breast cancer patients in the postmenopausal phase.
Sandwich Packings: State of the Art
Authors: Flechsig Steve , Yildirim Ömer , Kenig Eugeny Y. 
Published: June 2016

AbstractCapacity and efficiency of packed columns can be significantly improved by the application of sandwich packings. An element of such packings consists of two alternating layers of industrially available standard packings with different specific surface areas. Sandwich packings are commonly used for operating conditions between the flooding points of both layers, with a heterogeneous flow pattern established along a sandwich packing element. There are some similarities between this flow pattern and those in conventional structured packings as well as in trays. Under certain conditions, this can be used in a beneficial way. However, the application of this integrated packing type is hindered by a lack of reliable design methods. In the present article, the results of recent activities are summarized.
Effects of the Framework and Mesoporosity on the Catalytic Activity of Hierarchical Zeolite Catalysts in Benzyl Alcohol Conversion

Published: June 2016

AbstractThe catalytic performance of three‐dimensionally ordered mesoporous imprinted (3DOm‐i) zeolite catalysts with different frameworks (3DOm‐i MFI, 3DOm‐i BEA, and 3DOm‐i LTA) were investigated by the liquid‐phase catalytic conversion of benzyl alcohol in mesitylene and compared to that of other microporous and mesoporous catalysts with a high external surface area, which included MCM‐22, 300 nm MFI, ITQ‐2, and Al‐MCM‐41. The mesoporosity in MFI and BEA zeolites can effectively enhance the catalytic performance of the zeolite catalysts for benzyl alcohol self‐etherification catalyzed by both the acid sites on the external and internal surface and the alkylation of mesitylene with benzyl alcohol catalyzed exclusively by the acid sites on the external surface. For 3DOm‐i LTA, MCM‐22, and Al‐MCM‐41, only the acid sites on the external surface can be utilized in the catalytic reactions. A distinct difference in the product selectivity was also observed for the microporous and mesoporous catalysts.
