The aim of this study was to review the impact of salvage external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) of postprostatectomy patients with long-term follow-up on biochemical-free recurrence (BFR) and metastatic-free survival, and to describe pathological and clinical predictors of outcome.', 'In the period 1987-2010, 76 postprostatectomy patients with biochemical and clinical recurrence received salvage EBRT. Patients were treated with conformal EBRT and 68 (90%) received a dose of 70 Gy; eight patients (10%) received a dose of 60-64 Gy. No patients received adjuvant or neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy in conjunction with salvage EBRT.', 'The median follow-up time after salvage EBRT was 82 months (range 5-192 months). Seventeen patients (22%) developed biochemical recurrence subsequent to postprostatectomy salvage EBRT during the observation time, and the overall 50 and 75 month actuarial BFR rates after salvage EBRT were 84% and 79%, respectively. Seven patients (9%) developed metastatic disease and two patients died of prostate cancer. Independent predictors of biochemical recurrence were seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) in the prostatectomy specimen (p < 0.05) and prostate-specific antigen doubling time (PSADT) of 6 months or less (p = 0.041) before salvage EBRT.
Is prostate-specific antigen doubling time subsequent to radical prostatectomy a predictor of outcome following salvage external beam radiation therapy : a single-centre experience?

Neuroblastoma is a common pediatric solid tumor with poor outcome for metastatic disease. Thus, novel therapeutic options are of main interest. The anti-neoplastic properties of taurolidine have been demonstrated on a variety of human cancer cells. However, data on neuroblastoma is lacking. Therefore, our aim was to evaluate the effect of taurolidine on growth of neuroblastoma cell lines.', 'Neuroblastoma SK-N-BE(2)-M17 and SK-N-SH cells and nonmalignant human umbilical vein endothelial cells as controls were incubated with increasing concentrations of taurolidine (100, 250, 500 M). Cell growth was examined after 12, 24, and 48 hours of exposure.', 'Inhibition of cell growth by taurolidine was seen in both malignant cell lines. When compared with human umbilical vein endothelial cells, the neuroblastoma cell lines were significantly more responsive to taurolidine.
Does taurolidine specifically inhibit growth of neuroblastoma cell lines in vitro?

The yeast cell cycle is largely controlled by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) Cdc28. Recent evidence suggests that both CDK complex stability as well as function during mitosis is determined by precise regulation of Swe1, a CDK inhibitory kinase and cyclin binding partner. A model of mitotic progression has been provided by study of filamentous yeast. When facing nutrient-limited conditions, Ras2-mediated PKA and MAPK signaling cascades induce a switch from round to filamentous morphology resulting in delayed mitotic progression.', 'To delineate how the dimorphic switch contributes to cell cycle regulation, temperature sensitive cdc28 mutants exhibiting constitutive filamentation were subjected to epistasis analyses with RAS2 signaling effectors. It was found that Swe1-mediated inhibitory tyrosine phosphorylation of Cdc28 during filamentous growth is in part mediated by Ras2 activation of PKA, but not Kss1-MAPK, signaling. This pathway is further influenced by Cks1, a conserved CDK-binding partner of elusive function with multiple proposed roles in CDK activation, transcriptional regulation and ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation.
