The CXC chemokine, CXCL12, and its receptor, CXCR4 promote metastases of a variety of solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The expression of CXCR4 on tumor cells may represent a critical biomarker for their propensity to metastasize. This study was performed to evaluate the hypothesis that co-expression of pan-cytokeratin and CXCR4 may be a prognostic marker for patients with advanced NSCLC.', 'We evaluated CXCR4 levels on circulating pan-cytokeratin positive cells from patients with NSCLC. NSCLC tumor and metastases were also assessed for the presence of CXCR4.', 'Pan-cytokeratin positive cells were increased in the circulation of patients with NSCLC, as compared to normal control subjects. Patients with pan-cytokeratin +/CXCR4+ = 2,500 cells/ml had a significant improvement in median survival when compared with patients with pan-cytokeratin +/CXCR4+ >2,500 cells/ml (not achieved versus 14 weeks). CXCR4 expression was found on NSCLC tumors and at sites of tumor metastasis.

To compare ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in nonoverweight, prepubertal children with and without primary snoring (PS), and to investigate whether PS is a part of the dose-response relationship between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and BP in children.', 'This was a cross-sectional community-based study involving 190 children age 6 to 13 years. Each participant underwent an overnight sleep study and ABP monitoring after completing a validated sleep symptoms questionnaire. Individual systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial BP were calculated for wake and sleep periods. Subjects were hypertensive if mean SBP or DBP was > 95th percentile (relative to sex and height) of reference.', 'A total of 56 nonsnoring controls, 46 children with PS, 62 children with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 1 to 3, and 26 children with an AHI > 3 were identified. The daytime and nighttime BP increased across the severity spectrum of SDB. The dose-response trends for the proportion of subjects with nighttime systolic and diastolic hypertension also were significant. Nighttime DBP was significantly higher in the children with PS compared with controls after adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index.

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.
