Trends in the incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome–related malignancies in Thailand
Authors: Sriplung Hutcha , Parkin D. Maxwell 
Published: October 2004

AbstractBACKGROUNDThailand was one of the first Asian countries to be affected by the epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Furthermore, Thailand possesses a national cancer surveillance system based upon regional cancer registries.METHODSData from five population‐based cancer registries, covering one‐fifth of the national population, were used to study trends in the incidence of malignancies related to HIV/AIDS in Thailand during the period 1989–2001.RESULTSAlthough the incidence of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) increased slightly from 1989–1991 to 1995–1997, KS remains a very rare malignancy in Thailand compared with other countries in which the prevalence of HIV/AIDS is much lower. The authors reported a marked increase in the incidence of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and particularly high‐grade/diffuse NHL. However, the largest increases in incidence were noted among individuals age ≥ 55 years and in regions with a relatively low prevalence of HIV/AIDS.CONCLUSIONSThe rarity of KS presumably reflected the low prevalence of the causative agent (i.e., KS‐associated herpesvirus) in the Thai population. The increasing incidence of NHL may be related to the AIDS epidemic, although a similar increase is observed in many countries worldwide and is not specifically linked to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Authors: McCloskey Susan A. , Ellerbroek Nancy A. , McCarthy Lauren , Malcolm Arnold W. , Tao May Lin , Wollman Robert C. , Rose Christopher M. 
Published: October 2004

AbstractBACKGROUNDThe current study documented the implementation of three‐dimensional conformal radiotherapy and assessed the tumor control and toxicity of such treatment in a large, multisite community practice.METHODSThe authors retrospectively reviewed their first 222 consecutive patients with clinically localized (N0) prostate carcinoma treated with a 6‐field conformal technique from October 1993 through March 2000. Standardized target definitions, dose planning constraints, and gantry angles were utilized to develop the treatment plan. Patients were categorized by low, intermediate, and high risk. Low risk was defined as T1a–T2a disease, a Gleason score < 7, and prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) level ≤ 10.0 ng/mL (n = 47 [21%]). Intermediate risk was defined as T2b disease, a Gleason score > 6, or PSA level > 10.01 ng/mL (n = 60 [27%]). High risk was defined as 2 of the above risk factors or as T3 disease, a Gleason score > 7, or a PSA level > 20 (n = 115 [52%]). Biochemical disease recurrence was defined in accordance with the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology definition. Urinary and bowel toxicity were graded using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group morbidity scoring system.RESULTSThe median follow‐up after radiotherapy for surviving patients was 47 months (range, 0–99 months). The 2 and 5‐year actuarial biochemical control rates for all patients were 84% and 78%, respectively. Using logistic regression analysis, lower dose (< 75.6 gray [Gy] vs. 75.6 Gy; P = 0.006), higher risk group (P = 0.033), higher stage (P = 0.045), and higher PSA level (P = 0.001) were significantly associated with biochemical disease recurrence. Toxicity was not significantly correlated with a higher radiotherapy dose.CONCLUSIONSDose escalation to 75.6 Gy using a 6‐field conformal technique was feasible in the authors' community practice and resulted in acceptable toxicity and early biochemical outcomes.

Defining the best available treatment for neurocytomas in children
Authors: Rades Dirk , Schild Steven E. , Fehlauer Fabian 
Published: October 2004

AbstractBACKGROUNDIn children, neurocytomas are extremely rare tumors in the central nervous system. Since this entity was introduced in 1982, approximately 60 cases have been reported among patients age ≤ =18 years of age. The current analysis was performed to define the best available neurocytoma therapy in children.METHODSAll reported neurocytoma cases were reviewed for age, extent of resection, radiotherapy, radiotherapy dose, local control, and survival. Data were obtained from the literature and the authors. Statistical analysis was performed with the Kaplan–Meier method and log‐rank test.RESULTSFifty‐nine children were categorized by therapy: complete tumor resection (CTR; n = 20), complete tumor resection plus radiotherapy (CTR‐RT; n = 11), incomplete tumor resection (ITR; n = 14), and incomplete tumor resection plus radiotherapy (ITR‐RT; n = 14). Local control rates were better after CTR, CTR‐RT, and ITR‐RT than after ITR, at 5 years (86%, 100%, and 100% vs. 60%; P < 0.001) and at 10 years (86%, 100%, and 100% vs. 45%; P < 0.001). The 5‐year and 10‐year survival rates were 100% after CTR, 100% after CTR‐RT, 100% after ITR‐RT, and 93% after ITR (P = 0.4). In the ITR‐RT group, no difference was observed between doses ≤ 50 gray (Gy) and ≥ 54 Gy when compared for local control (P = 1.0) and survival rates (P = 1.0). Radiotherapy‐related psychomotor retardation or secondary brain tumors were not reported.CONCLUSIONSThe prognosis of children with neurocytomas is extremely good. CTR was associated with better local control and survival rates than ITR. After ITR, radiotherapy improves local control, but not survival. If postoperative radiotherapy is considered, a dose of 50 Gy was appropriate for long‐term local control in children, whereas higher doses were required in adults.

Zur praktischen Anwendung der Lastkombinatorik bei Geschoßbauten aus Mauerwerk: Computergestützter Nachweis von Mauerwerk nach DIN 1053‐1 und EC 6
Authors: Purtak Frank 
Published: October 2004

AbstractIm vorliegenden Beitrag werden für Geschoßbauten mit Mauerwerkswänden die zu untersuchenden Lastkombinationen unabhängig von der gewählten Berechnungsvorschrift dargestellt. Die maßgebenden Schnittkräfte resultieren aus zwei möglichen Lastzuständen der Decken – minimaler und maximaler Lastzustand. Je nach Wahl der Berechnungsvorschrift ergeben sich unterschiedliche Beträge der Lastzustände, welche je nach Vorschrift zu berücksichtigende Last‐ und Kombinationsfaktoren bereits enthalten. Maßgebende Lastkombinationen lassen sich daher leicht nachvollziehen und kontrollieren.Der Berechnungsablauf nach DIN 1053‐1 und EC 6 ist in kompakter Form tabellarisch zusammengestellt. Das zur Verfügung stehende Computerprogramm beinhaltet den dargestellten Berechnungsablauf und unterstützt die statischen Nachweise für beide Normen.

AbstractDruckfestigkeit von Mauerwerk parallel zu den Lagerfugen
Die Druckfestigkeit von Mauerwerk parallel zu den Lagerfugen – auch Längsdruckfestigkeit genannt – wird für Tragfähigkeitsnachweise für Mauerwerkbauteile, die parallel zu den Lagerfugen auf Biegedruck beansprucht werden, benötigt. Von wesentlichem Einfluß auf die Längsdruckfestigkeit von Mauerwerk sind die Längsdruckfestigkeit der Mauersteine und die Art der Stoßfugenausführung (vermörtelt, unvermörtelt) sowie im Falle der unvermörtelten Stoßfugen die Verbundfestigkeit zwischen Mauerstein und Mauermörtel in der Lagerfuge. Im Beitrag werden alle vorliegenden Untersuchungsergebnisse zur Längsdruckfestigkeit von Mauerwerk mit den wesentlichen Kennwerten zusammengestellt, ausgewertet und bewertet sowie erste Vorschläge für die Berücksichtigung der Längsdruckfestigkeit von Mauerwerk bei der Bemessung gemacht.

AbstractDer Erkenntnisstand und die Datenbasis für Eigenschaftswerte von Mauersteinen, Mauermörtel und Mauerwerk, die DIN 1053‐1 [1] zugrunde liegen, sind rd. 10 Jahre alt. Für die derzeitige Überarbeitung der DIN müssen die entsprechenden Eigenschaftskennwerte unter Bezug auf die zwischenzeitliche Weiterentwicklung des Mauerwerks und die fortgeschriebenen Untersuchungen aktualisiert werden.Alle verfügbaren und verwertbaren Untersuchungsergebnisse zur Druckfestigkeit von Dünnbettmauerwerk aus Porenbeton‐Plansteinen wurden in einer Datenbank erfaßt und hinsichtlich weiterer wichtiger Kennwerte ausgewertet.Danach kann die Mauerwerkdruckfestigkeit sowohl unter Bezug auf den Mittelwert als auch bezogen auf den charakteristischen Wert ausreichend genau in Abhängigkeit von der Druckfestigkeit der Plansteine bzw. von Würfeln mit 100 mm Kantenlänge rechnerisch beschrieben werden. Die entsprechenden Regressionsgleichungen sind mit dem jeweiligen Bestimmtheitsmaß angegeben und in den Diagrammen zusammen mit den Versuchswerten dargestellt.
Mechanism of modulation of T cell responses by N‐palmitoylated peptides

Published: October 2004

AbstractSmall structural changes in the antigenic peptides recognized by TCR can alter the biological properties of those peptides and convert them into weak agonists, partial agonists, or antagonists of these receptors. These altered peptide ligands (APL) are usually generated by conservative amino acid substitutions at TCR contact residues. Here, we show that APL with therapeutic properties can also be generated by attachment of palmitic acid at the N terminus of the peptide without the need to modify the peptide's primary sequence. Using N‐palmitoylated pigeon cytochrome‐c peptide 81–104 (PALPCC81–104), we were able to induce T cell hyporesponsiveness to the wild‐type peptide in vitro. More importantly, administration of the PALPCC81–104 to mice reduced the responsiveness to the native peptide when tested ex vivo. Biochemical and functional experiments indicated that the action of N‐palmitoylated peptides was due to the conversion of the native peptide into a weak agonist that could then induce T cell anergy. Our results demonstrate that N‐palmitoylation of antigenic peptides is a feasible strategy to generate APL, as it avoids the need to screen multiple amino acid variants of each specific antigen to identify those with therapeutic properties.
Syntheses, Structures and Reactivity of Electron‐Rich Fe and Ru Complexes with the New Pentadentate Ligand Et2NpyS4−H2 {4‐(Diethylamino)2,6‐bis[(2‐mercaptophenyl)thiomethyl]pyridine}

Published: October 2004

AbstractThe new pentadentate thioether thiolate ligand Et2NpyS42− {= 4‐(diethylamino)‐2,6‐bis[(2‐mercaptophenyl)thiomethyl]pyridine(2−)} has been synthesised from dimethyl 4‐bromopyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylate by treatment with Et2NH followed by reduction and tosylation. The tosylated product was subsequently used for the template alkylation of [Ni(S2C6H4)2]2− to give [{Ni(Et2NpyS4)}2] (4). Acidic hydrolysis of 4 resulted in the formation of the ligand Et2NpyS4−H2·HCl (5). The dianion Et2NpyS42− reacted with FeCl2·H2O to afford the dinuclear high‐spin species [{Fe(Et2NpyS4)}2] (6) [μeff (297 K) = 5.15 μB]. Aerial oxidation of dinuclear 6 afforded the sulfinato complex [{Fe(Et2NpyS4−O2)}2] (7). Complex 6 proved to be a good precursor for the syntheses of [Fe(L)(Et2NpyS4)] [L = CO (8), CNCy (9), NO (11) and N2H4 (12)] and [Fe(NO)(Et2NpyS4)]BF4 (10). Protonation or alkylation of the thiolate donor atoms resulted in a series of complexes [Fe(CO)(Et2NpyS4−R)]BF4 [R = H (8a), Et (8b)] and [Fe(CO)(Et2NpyS4−Et2)](BF4)2 (8c) but no labilisation of the Fe−CO bond was observed. Only in complex 8 could the CO coligand be exchanged by NO+ to give [Fe(NO)(Et2NpyS4)]BF4 (10). Reduction of 10 using N2H4, NH3 or N3− afforded the 19 valence electron species [Fe(NO)(Et2NpyS4)] (11). [Ru(NO)(Et2NpyS4)]Br (13) was synthesised by template alkylation of Bu4N[Ru(NO)(S2C6H4)2] using Et2Npy(CH2Br)2 (3). Under reducing conditions, 13 releases the NO coligand to give [{Ru(Et2NpyS4)}2] (14), while in the presence of N2H4, [Ru(N2H4)(Et2NpyS4)] (15) was formed. The complexes were well characterised including the solid‐state structures in most cases. X‐ray structural analyses of 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 15 revealed that all complexes exhibit trans‐thiolate donors irrespective of the σ−π‐ or σ‐ligand character of L. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
