Thirty-eight patients with biopsy-proven IPF were studied to identify pretreatment features that could be used to predict short-term improvement in pulmonary function and improved longer term survival. In all patients, a pretreatment clinical (dyspnea), radiographic (chest radiograph), and physiologic (pulmonary function including exercise saturation) score was generated (CRP). A high-resolution CT scan (HRCT) was independently scored by four radiologists for ground glass (CT-alv) and linear opacity (CT-fib) on a scale of 0-4. Open lung biopsy samples were scored for cellular infiltration, interstitial fibrosis, desquamation, and granulation by an experienced pulmonary pathologist. All patients were treated with 3 mo of high-dose steroids and the CRP scoring repeated. Patients were divided into three groups: responders with a greater than 10-point drop in CRP (n = 10); stable with +/- 10 point change in CRP (n = 14); and nonresponders with > 10 point rise in CRP or death (n = 14). Those responding to steroids were treated for 18 mo in a tapering fashion. In all others, steroids were tapered quickly and oral cyclophosphamide prescribed. Responders (10 of 38) had a lower age (45.1+/-4.3 yr) than nonresponders (61.4+/-3.5 yr) or those remaining stable (53.1+/-3.3 yr) (p = 0.01). Pretreatment CRP was higher in responders (58.8+/-5.6) than nonresponders (40.5+/-4.7) or stable individuals (37.6+/-4.7) (p = 0.01). Cellular infiltration score of the open lung biopsies was higher in responders (7.6+/-0.6) than stable individuals (5.7+/-0.5) (p = 0.04). The CT-alv scores were higher and CT-fib scores were lower in responders than nonresponders. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was employed to identify pretreatment features of longer term survival (follow-up of 29.1+/-2.3 mo). Only CT-fib (p = 0.009) and pathology fibrosis score (p = 0.03) were able to predict mortality. A pretreatment CT-fib score > or = 2.0 demonstrated 80% sensitivity and 85% specificity in predicting survival. Those patients who did not respond to initial steroid therapy demonstrated a worse long-term survival and greater likelihood of decreased pulmonary function. We demonstrate that pretherapy pulmonary function, pathologic and radiographic parameters are different in individuals who respond to initial prednisone therapy. Only HRCT imaging and pathologic fibrosis were able to reliably predict long-term survival in patients with biopsy-proven IPF." ], "offsets": [ [ 76, 2653 ] ] } ]

A high-resolution CT scan (HRCT) was independently scored by four radiologists for ground glass (CT-alv) and linear opacity (CT-fib) on a scale of 0-4. Open lung biopsy samples were scored for cellular infiltration, interstitial fibrosis, desquamation, and granulation by an experienced pulmonary pathologist. All patients were treated with 3 mo of high-dose steroids and the CRP scoring repeated. Patients were divided into three groups: responders with a greater than 10-point drop in CRP (n = 10); stable with +/- 10 point change in CRP (n = 14); and nonresponders with > 10 point rise in CRP or death (n = 14). Those responding to steroids were treated for 18 mo in a tapering fashion. In all others, steroids were tapered quickly and oral cyclophosphamide prescribed. Responders (10 of 38) had a lower age (45.1+/-4.3 yr) than nonresponders (61.4+/-3.5 yr) or those remaining stable (53.1+/-3.3 yr) (p = 0.01). Pretreatment CRP was higher in responders (58.8+/-5.6) than nonresponders (40.5+/-4.7) or stable individuals (37.6+/-4.7) (p = 0.01). Cellular infiltration score of the open lung biopsies was higher in responders (7.6+/-0.6) than stable individuals (5.7+/-0.5) (p = 0.04). The CT-alv scores were higher and CT-fib scores were lower in responders than nonresponders. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was employed to identify pretreatment features of longer term survival (follow-up of 29.1+/-2.3 mo). Only CT-fib (p = 0.009) and pathology fibrosis score (p = 0.03) were able to predict mortality. A pretreatment CT-fib score > or = 2.0 demonstrated 80% sensitivity and 85% specificity in predicting survival. Those patients who did not respond to initial steroid therapy demonstrated a worse long-term survival and greater likelihood of decreased pulmonary function. We demonstrate that pretherapy pulmonary function, pathologic and radiographic parameters are different in individuals who respond to initial prednisone therapy. Only HRCT imaging and pathologic fibrosis were able to reliably predict long-term survival in patients with biopsy-proven IPF.

The pharmacotherapy for advanced lung cancer occasionally induces fatal acute exacerbation of pre-existing IP. Due to the lack of prospective studies, there is an urgent need to establish a safe and effective pharmacotherapy, especially for second-line or later settings. Atezolizumab, an anti-programmed cell death-ligand 1 antibody, is thought to be the safest candidate for second-line therapy among various immune checkpoint inhibitors. Moreover, compared with patients without IP, the patients with comorbid IP may have higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) or microsatellite instability (MSI), which are partly associated with a more favorable response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Methods: The Thoracic Oncology Research Group 1936/AMBITIOUS study is an ongoing, multicenter, single-arm, phase II trial to assess the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab for pretreated advanced/recurrent patients with NSCLC complicated with idiopathic, chronic fibrotic IP with a forced vital capacity of >70%. The patients will receive atezolizumab (1200 mg, day 1) every 3 weeks until the discontinuation criteria are met. The primary end point of this study is the 1-year survival rate, and a sample size of 38 patients is set. As a translational research, we will perform the analysis of TMB, somatic mutations, and MSI for nucleic acids extracted from archival tumor samples.

Cellular pharmacology and protein binding of phosphoromonothioate and phosphorodithioate oligodeoxynucleotides: a comparative study. Phosphorodithioate (PS2) oligodeoxynucleotides (oligos) represent a relatively new class of backbone-modified oligo that have potential use as antisense agents. PS2 oligos are isoelectronic with phosphodiester (PO) and phosphoromonothioate (PS) oligos, and are nuclease resistant. However, unlike their PS congeners, PS2 oligos do not contain chiral centers. Little is known about the manner in which PS2 oligos interact with biological systems. In this study, we compare the cellular pharmacology of PS and PS2 oligos in HL60 cells. Cell surface binding, internalization, and compartmentalization are examined. Furthermore, the ability of PS and PS2 oligos to bind to rsCD4 and bFGF and to inhibit the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) is examined. Although the behavior of PS2 oligos closely parallels that of PS oligos, PS2 oligos appear to interact with some biological systems in a slightly different manner than PS oligos. These results indicate that PS2 oligos may have therapeutic potential other than as antisense agents.

Solid phase extraction preconcentration of cobalt and nickel with 5,7-dichloroquinone-8-ol embedded styrene-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate polymer particles and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). This article explores the synthesis of styrene-divinyl benzene (DVB)/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) polymers embedded with quinoline-8-ol (Q) or its dihalo derivatives by thermal means in the presence and absence of 4-vinyl pyridine (VP). The above-synthesized polymers were found to enrich cobalt and nickel present in admixtures. Of these, 5,7-dichloroquinoline-8-ol (DCQ) embedded styrene-EGDMA polymer particles enrich cobalt and nickel quantitatively from dilute aqueous solutions within 5 min of preconcentration time. Styrene-EGDMA, DCQ embedded styrene-EGDMA particles obtained by bulk polymerization and cobalt/nickel bonded polymers were characterized by FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis and surface area studies. The use of these polymer particles obtained by bulk polymerization for the solid phase extractive preconcentration of cobalt and nickel was investigated in detail and explores the possibility of employing this procedure for the analysis of cobalt and nickel in soil and sediment samples using a simple, low cost and readily available flame atomic absorption spectrometric instrument was explored.

Although the oxygen concentration distribution in a vessel could be obtained from a three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulation of blood flow coupled with oxygen transport, a 3D numerical simulation of the systemic arterial tree is complicated and requires considerable computational resources and time. However, the lumped parameter model of oxygen transport derived from transmission line equations of oxygen transport requires fewer computational resources and less time to numerically predict the oxygen concentration distribution in the systemic arterial tree.

Developing transmission line equations of oxygen transport for predicting oxygen distribution in the arterial system. The oxygen content in the arterial system plays a significant role in determining the physiological status of a human body. Understanding the oxygen concentration distribution in the arterial system is beneficial for the prevention and intervention of vascular disease. However, the oxygen concentration in the arteries could not be noninvasively monitored in clinical research. Although the oxygen concentration distribution in a vessel could be obtained from a three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulation of blood flow coupled with oxygen transport, a 3D numerical simulation of the systemic arterial tree is complicated and requires considerable computational resources and time. However, the lumped parameter model of oxygen transport derived from transmission line equations of oxygen transport requires fewer computational resources and less time to numerically predict the oxygen concentration distribution in the systemic arterial tree. In this study, transmission line equations of oxygen transport are developed according to the theory of oxygen transport in the vessel, and fluid transmission line equations are used as the theoretical reference for the development. The transmission line equations of oxygen transport could also be regarded as the theoretical basis for developing lumped parameter models of other substances in blood.

To facilitate assessment of the cross-reactivity of heterologous antivenoms, protein profiles of T. macrops and T. hageni venoms were explored using mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. The results show that 185 and 216 proteins were identified from T. macrops and T. hageni venoms, respectively. Two major protein components in T. macrops and T. hageni venoms were snake venom serine protease and metalloproteinase. The toxicity of the venoms on human monocytes and skin fibroblasts was analyzed, and both showed a greater cytotoxic effect on fibroblasts than monocytic cells, with toxicity occurring in a dose-dependent rather than a time-dependent manner.

Venomics and Cellular Toxicity of Thai Pit Vipers (Trimeresurus macrops and T. hageni). The two venomous pit vipers, Trimeresurus macrops and T. hageni, are distributed throughout Thailand, although their abundance varies among different areas. No species-specific antivenom is available for their bite victims, and the only recorded treatment method is a horse antivenom raised against T. albolabris crude venom. To facilitate assessment of the cross-reactivity of heterologous antivenoms, protein profiles of T. macrops and T. hageni venoms were explored using mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. The results show that 185 and 216 proteins were identified from T. macrops and T. hageni venoms, respectively. Two major protein components in T. macrops and T. hageni venoms were snake venom serine protease and metalloproteinase. The toxicity of the venoms on human monocytes and skin fibroblasts was analyzed, and both showed a greater cytotoxic effect on fibroblasts than monocytic cells, with toxicity occurring in a dose-dependent rather than a time-dependent manner. Exploring the protein composition of snake venom leads to a better understanding of the envenoming of prey. Moreover, knowledge of pit viper venomics facilitates the selection of the optimum heterologous antivenoms for treating bite victims.

Response styles among patients with minor depression and dysthymia in primary care. Ruminative responses to depression have predicted duration and severity of depressive symptoms. The authors examined how response styles change over the course of treatment for depression and as a function of type of treatment.

Primary care patients (n = 96) with dysthymia or minor depression were randomly assigned to problem-solving therapy, paroxetine, or placebo. Patients' depressive symptoms and rumination, but not distraction, decreased over time. Pretreatment rumination and distraction were associated with more depressive symptoms at the conclusion of treatment; the latter finding was not consistent with the response style theory of depression.

N-Terminal truncation of the first ten residues of the inhibitor negligibly affected the association rate constant with papain or ficin, but increased the dissociation rate constant approx. 3 x 10(4)- to 2 x 10(6)-fold. In contrast, such truncation decreased the association rate constant with cathepsin B approx. 60-fold, while minimally affecting the dissociation rate constant. With actinidin, the truncated cystatin C had both an approx. 15-fold lower association rate constant and an approx. 15-fold higher dissociation rate constant than the intact inhibitor. Similar results were obtained for intact and N-terminally truncated chicken cystatin.

Differential changes in the association and dissociation rate constants for binding of cystatins to target proteinases occurring on N-terminal truncation of the inhibitors indicate that the interaction mechanism varies with different enzymes. The importance of the N-terminal region of human cystatin C or chicken cystatin for the kinetics of interactions of the inhibitors with four cysteine proteinases was characterized. The association rate constants for the binding of recombinant human cystatin C to papain, ficin, actinidin and recombinant rat cathepsin B were 1.1 x 10(7), 7.0 x 10(6), 2.4 x 10(6) and 1.4 x 10(6) M-1.s-1, whereas the corresponding dissociation rate constants were 1.3 x 10(-7), 9.2 x 10(-6), 4.6 x 10(-2) and 3.5 x 10(-4) s-1. N-Terminal truncation of the first ten residues of the inhibitor negligibly affected the association rate constant with papain or ficin, but increased the dissociation rate constant approx. 3 x 10(4)- to 2 x 10(6)-fold. In contrast, such truncation decreased the association rate constant with cathepsin B approx. 60-fold, while minimally affecting the dissociation rate constant. With actinidin, the truncated cystatin C had both an approx. 15-fold lower association rate constant and an approx. 15-fold higher dissociation rate constant than the intact inhibitor. Similar results were obtained for intact and N-terminally truncated chicken cystatin. The decreased affinity of human cystatin C or chicken cystatin for cysteine proteinases after removal of the N-terminal region is thus due to either a decreased association rate constant or an increased dissociation rate constant, or both, depending on the enzyme. This behaviour indicates that the contribution of the N-terminal segment of the two inhibitors to the interaction mechanism varies with the target proteinase as a result of structural differences in the active-site region of the enzyme.

Point mutation in the mouse glucocorticoid receptor preventing DNA binding impairs spatial memory. Activation of central glucocorticoid receptors caused by the stress that is associated with a learning task facilitates storage of the acquired information.

Alternated quinoid/aromatic units in terthiophenes building blocks for electroactive narrow band gap polymers. Extended spectroscopic, solid state, electrochemical, and theoretical study. We report here the synthesis of three novel pi-conjugated heterocyclic mixed trimers that contain two electron-donating 3,4-ethylenedioxy-2-thienyl (EDOT) units covalently attached to a central proquinoid electron-accepting thienopyrazine moiety (two of these narrow-HOMO-LUMO gap D-A-D compounds also bear hexyl side chains attached either to the outermost alpha positions of the EDOT end rings or to the beta positions of the pyrazine fused ring). The modification of the terthiophene structure upon EDO, pyrazine, and hexyl substitutions has been treated in detail with spectroscopic and theoretical arguments. Solid-state properties reveal the occurrence of short intramolecular contacts between heteroatoms of adjacent rings. The analysis of the structure of the pi-conjugated backbone of each molecule is consistent with a partial quinoid-like pattern which partially reverts to be subtly more aromatic depending on the topology of the positive inductive effect of the hexyl chains. This quinoidization is a consequence of the appearance of a D(EDOT)-->A(PyT)<--D(EDOT) intramolecular charge transfer which further polarizes the structure. The same chemical concepts have been applied to address their electrochemical behavior. The three mixed trimers exhibit amphoteric properties due to the combination of electron acceptor and donor groups. Given their relative low HOMO-LUMO energy gap, these trimers promise to be good candidates for obtaining polymers with significant low energy gap combining electroactivity.

In this study, analyzing the expression of miR-152 by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed it was sharply reduced in CC tissues and cell lines. In addition, the negative correlation of miR-152 expression and KLF5 expression was observed. The dual-luciferase reporter assay validated that KLF5 was a target of miR-152.

MicroRNA-152 Acts as a Tumor Suppressor MicroRNA by Inhibiting Kruppel-Like Factor 5 in Human Cervical Cancer. Aberrant expression of microRNA-152 (miR-152) is frequently observed in human cancers including ovarian cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and gastric cancer. However, its expression and functional role in cervical cancer (CC) are poorly understood. Also, the association between miR-152 and Kruppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) expression in CC remains unclear. In this study, analyzing the expression of miR-152 by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed it was sharply reduced in CC tissues and cell lines. In addition, the negative correlation of miR-152 expression and KLF5 expression was observed. The dual-luciferase reporter assay validated that KLF5 was a target of miR-152. In vitro functional assays revealed that miR-152 could inhibit cell proliferation and cell cycle progression through regulating the expression of KLF5. Taken together, our study suggested that miR-152 functions as a tumor suppressor in CC, and the miR-152/KLF5 axis may provide novel therapeutic targets for CC treatment.

ACE I/D and G2350A polymorphisms in Pakistani hypertensive population of Punjab. Several studies in different populations have shown mixed association of hypertension with ACE I/D and G2350A polymorphisms. To assess the link of these two polymorphisms with hypertension in population of Punjab--most populated province of Pakistan--we carried out this retrospective case control study in a mixed sample of 344 hypertensive and normotensive controls. Genotype of the ACE I/D was determined by nested PCR and G2350A. polymorphism was determined by amplification of a small fragment containing SNP and digesting it with the restriction enzyme. Statistical analysis revealed that I/D polymorphism is not associated with hypertension in the Punjabi population chi(2) (df = 2) = 5.611, P <or= 0.10. Overall, D allele frequency was 0.43 and I allele frequency was 0.57. The G2350A polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with hypertension chi(2) (2df, chi(2) = 28.4, P <or= 0.001). The G allele frequency (0.77) in our population was higher than previously reported. A combination of the AA and DD genotype seems to be linked with higher than average blood pressure level both in hypertensive and control groups. Our data suggests that the ACE I/D polymorphism is not associated with hypertension but the G2350A polymorphism is associated with hypertension in the Punjabi population.

In a retrospective study, we describe the results of our surgical treatment. METHODS: Between June 1999 and June 2002, 14 adults with laryngotracheal stenosis were referred to our hospital. Stenosis resulted from mechanical ventilation in 11 patients, from Wegener's granulomatosis in 2 patients, and from strangulation in 1 patient. Eleven patients had a tracheotomy. One patient was found unfit for surgery. Nine patients underwent cricotracheal resection (CTR) with end-to-end anastomosis, and four patients underwent single-stage laryngotracheoplasty (SS-LTP) without stenting. RESULTS: There were no perioperative deaths. Patients were extubated after mean of 3 days (range, 0-10 days; CTR 2.3 days vs SS-LTP 3.5 days, p=.45). There were in-hospital complications in five patients. Mean hospital stay was 19 days (range, 8-53 days; after CTR 24 days vs SS-LTP 9 days, p=.015). With regard to airway patency and voice recovery, 10 patients (77%) had good results, including 1 patient with two readmissions, and 3 (23%) had satisfactory results, including 1 patient with 11 additional nonsurgical interventions.

Single-stage surgical repair of benign laryngotracheal stenosis in adults. BACKGROUND: Benign laryngotracheal stenosis causes considerable morbidity. In a retrospective study, we describe the results of our surgical treatment. METHODS: Between June 1999 and June 2002, 14 adults with laryngotracheal stenosis were referred to our hospital. Stenosis resulted from mechanical ventilation in 11 patients, from Wegener's granulomatosis in 2 patients, and from strangulation in 1 patient. Eleven patients had a tracheotomy. One patient was found unfit for surgery. Nine patients underwent cricotracheal resection (CTR) with end-to-end anastomosis, and four patients underwent single-stage laryngotracheoplasty (SS-LTP) without stenting. RESULTS: There were no perioperative deaths. Patients were extubated after mean of 3 days (range, 0-10 days; CTR 2.3 days vs SS-LTP 3.5 days, p=.45). There were in-hospital complications in five patients. Mean hospital stay was 19 days (range, 8-53 days; after CTR 24 days vs SS-LTP 9 days, p=.015). With regard to airway patency and voice recovery, 10 patients (77%) had good results, including 1 patient with two readmissions, and 3 (23%) had satisfactory results, including 1 patient with 11 additional nonsurgical interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Benign laryngotracheal stenosis in the adult patient can be repaired successfully using a strategy of two single-stage surgical procedures. All patients had good or satisfactory functional results. A multidisciplinary approach was essential to achieve these good results.

The purpose of this paper was to determine whether there are significant differences in radiographic alignment between those with and without isolated lateral patellofemoral degeneration. METHODS: Subjects with isolated symptomatic lateral patellofemoral degeneration and control subjects with no radiographic degeneration participated in the study. Variables of interest included the Caton-Deschamps index, sulcus angle, lateral patellofemoral angle, Dejour classification of trochlear dysplasia, patella linear displacement and the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance. RESULTS: We found significant differences between the patellofemoral degeneration group versus control group, respectively, for the Caton-Deschamps index (1.12 +- 0.1 vs. 1.00 +- 0.1), lateral patellofemoral angle (10.6 +- 4.3 vs. 16.6 +- 5.5) and tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance (16.6 +- 4.0 vs. 9.0 +- 4.3). However, we found no difference in the sulcus angle (141.2 +- 8.2 vs. 137.0 +- 6.0), patella linear displacement (3.7 +- 1.9 vs. 4.0 +- 1.7) or in the Dejour Classification. CONCLUSION: It appears that isolated lateral patellofemoral degeneration is associated with specific radiographic indices.

Radiographic parameters associated with lateral patella degeneration in young patients. PURPOSE: Localized articular cartilage degeneration in the patellofemoral joint is a common but yet understudied condition in younger patients. The purpose of this paper was to determine whether there are significant differences in radiographic alignment between those with and without isolated lateral patellofemoral degeneration. METHODS: Subjects with isolated symptomatic lateral patellofemoral degeneration and control subjects with no radiographic degeneration participated in the study. Variables of interest included the Caton-Deschamps index, sulcus angle, lateral patellofemoral angle, Dejour classification of trochlear dysplasia, patella linear displacement and the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance. RESULTS: We found significant differences between the patellofemoral degeneration group versus control group, respectively, for the Caton-Deschamps index (1.12 +- 0.1 vs. 1.00 +- 0.1), lateral patellofemoral angle (10.6 +- 4.3 vs. 16.6 +- 5.5) and tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance (16.6 +- 4.0 vs. 9.0 +- 4.3). However, we found no difference in the sulcus angle (141.2 +- 8.2 vs. 137.0 +- 6.0), patella linear displacement (3.7 +- 1.9 vs. 4.0 +- 1.7) or in the Dejour Classification. CONCLUSION: It appears that isolated lateral patellofemoral degeneration is associated with specific radiographic indices. Even though the radiographic measures in patients with degeneration may not be considered pathologic, they are "high normal" and may represent a risk factor for the development of focal chondral degeneration in the lateral trochlea and patella.

Making fewer depression diagnoses: beneficial for patients? Currently, general practitioners actively search for depressive disorders in their patients. When they diagnose 'depressive disorder', they tell their patients that they have a disease and can be treated accordingly. This is probably an important reason for the huge prescription rates of anti-depressants. In doing so, general practitioners implement specialised, psychiatric diagnostic methods in a setting characterised by patients with symptoms that superficially may resemble those of depressive disorder but in reality mainly arise from normal problems in everyday life due to losses of valued relations or failure to achieve desired goals. We argue that it might be beneficial for patients if general practitioners, in a stepped care approach, hold back on specialised methods of psychiatry and instead use a more generalist approach as first step, in which patients' problems are formulated in their own words, and efforts are directed in helping patients regain their self-confidence to solve them.

PATIENTS: One hundred thirty-five consecutive patients with pulmonary artery catheters, of whom 35 were excluded because of unacceptable pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) tracings. METHODS: Each patient had a portable, anteroposterior, supine digital CXR. Clinicians evaluated volume status and then measured hemodynamic data within 1 hr of the CXR. Digital CXRs were independently interpreted on two separate occasions (with and without clinical information) by three experienced chest radiologists, and these interpretations were compared with hemodynamic data.

Radiologic determination of intravascular volume status using portable, digital chest radiography: a prospective investigation in 100 patients. OBJECTIVE: To answer the following questions: Can the digital chest roentgenogram (CXR) be used to differentiate patients' volume status? Do clinical data alter radiologists' accuracy in interpreting the digital CXR? DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Nine adult intensive care units of a tertiary care medical center. PATIENTS: One hundred thirty-five consecutive patients with pulmonary artery catheters, of whom 35 were excluded because of unacceptable pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) tracings. METHODS: Each patient had a portable, anteroposterior, supine digital CXR. Clinicians evaluated volume status and then measured hemodynamic data within 1 hr of the CXR. Digital CXRs were independently interpreted on two separate occasions (with and without clinical information) by three experienced chest radiologists, and these interpretations were compared with hemodynamic data. RESULTS: Of the 100 patients, 39 had PAOP >18 mm Hg, whereas 61 had PAOP <18 mm Hg. Radiologists' accuracy in differentiating volume status increased with incorporation of clinical data (56% without vs. 65% with clinical data, p =.009). Using objective receiver operating characteristic-derived cutoffs of 70 mm for vascular pedicle width and 0.55 for cardiothoracic ratio, radiologists' accuracy in differentiating PAOP >18 mm Hg from PAOP <18 mm Hg was 70%. The intrareader and the inter-reader correlation coefficients were very high. The likelihood ratio of the CXR in determining volume status using the objective vascular pedicle width and cardiothoracic ratio measures was 3.1 (95% confidence interval, 1.9-6.0), significantly higher than subjective CXR interpretations with and without clinical data (p <.001). CONCLUSIONS: Differentiating intravascular volume status with portable, supine, digital CXRs may be improved by using objective cutoffs of vascular pedicle width >70 mm and cardiothoracic ratio >0.55 or by incorporating clinical data.

RESULTS: Average effective doses were 22.8mSv for the 16MSCT, 27.8mSv for the 64MSCT and 14.1mSv for the 256MSCT. The 16- and 64MSCT doses were thus approximately 1.6- and 2.0-fold higher than those of the 256MSCT. CONCLUSIONS: Use of the 256MSCT in cardiac volumetric cine imaging offers lower radiation exposure than 16- and 64MSCT, and suggests the potential of this equipment in single-beat cardiac imaging without ECG gating. This effective dose is acceptable for routine cardiac imaging.

DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and speed of sound (SOS) and the stiffness index (SI) of the os calcaneus was measured in 4,320 women with a mean age of 52.5 years (age range 20 to 79 years) using three identical Achilles Express (GE/Lunar) and one Achilles Plus (GE/Lunar) ultrasonometry devices. Women were randomly selected and asked to participate in a nationwide screening program using the media, conferences, telephone calls etc. Measurements were performed at Red Cross centers located all over the country. No inclusion or exclusion criteria were used. RESULTS: There was an overall decline of 19.2% for BUA, 3.1% for SOS and 30.3% for SI between late adolescence and old age. In premenopausal women, BUA decreased only slightly by 3%, while postmenopausal women showed a significant decline of 16.2%. In contrast, SOS continuously decreased from the age of 42; there was a decline of 0.8% from adolescence to the menopause; postmenopausal women showed a larger decline of 2.4%. The SI of premenopausal women decreased by 6%, while postmenopausal women showed a significantly larger decline of 24.3%.

[Treatment of bladder cancer recurrences]. Chemical antitumor drugs employed by the authors failed to render any cytostatic effect on bladder cancer recurrences. Only surgical treatment might provide a short-term remission. The best results of treatment for recurrent bladder cancer were gained in the combination therapy (surgery and radiotherapy) and also while using distant gammatherapy.

Practical considerations in transforming MSC therapy for neurological diseases from cell to EV.

RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in age, weight, sex, and the length of endoscopic procedure.
