<P><B>Background:</B></P><P>The association between the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) and clinical outcomes in metastatic colorectal cancer remains unclear. We investigated the prognostic impact of CIMP in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with systemic chemotherapy.</P><P><B>Methods:</B></P><P>Eight CIMP-specific promoters (<I>CACNA1G</I>, <I>IGF2</I>, <I>NEUROG1</I>, <I>RUNX3</I>, <I>SOCS1</I>, <I>CDKN2A</I>, <I>CRABP1</I>, and <I>MLH1</I>) were examined. The CIMP status was determined by the number of methylated promoters as high (⩾5), low (1–4), and negative (0).</P><P><B>Results:</B></P><P>A total of 153 patients were included (men/women, 103/50; median age, 61 years; range, 22–80 years). The CIMP status was negative/low/high in 77/ 69/7 patients, respectively. Overall survival (OS) was significantly different among the three CIMP groups, with median values of 35.7, 22.2, and 9.77 months for the negative, low, and high groups, respectively (<I>P</I><0.001). For patients treated with fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin first-line chemotherapy (<I>N</I>=128), OS and progression-free survival (PFS) were significantly different among the three CIMP groups; the median OS was 37.9, 23.8, and 6.77 months for the negative, low, and high groups, respectively <I>(P</I><0.001), while the median PFS was 9.97, 7.87, and 1.83 months, respectively (<I>P</I>=0.002). Response rates were marginally different among the three CIMP groups (53.4% <I>vs</I> 45.1% <I>vs</I> 16.7%, respectively; <I>P</I>=0.107). For patients treated with fluoropyrimidine and irinotecan second-line chemotherapy (<I>N</I>=86), only OS showed a difference according to the CIMP status, with median values of 20.4, 13.4, and 2.90 months for the negative, low, and high groups, respectively (<I>P</I><0.001).</P><P><B>Conclusions:</B></P><P>The CIMP status is a negative prognostic factor for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with chemotherapy.</P>

Minting Luo,Yongjun Ma,Chonghua Pei,Yujing Xing,Lixia Wen,Li Zhang 대한화학회 2012 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.33 No.8
SnO2@carbon tube-core nanowire was synthesized via a facile self-organized method, which was in situ by one step via Chemical Vapor Deposition. The resulting composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. The diameter of the single nanowire is between 5 nm and 60 nm, while the length would be several tens to hundreds of micrometers. Then X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the composition is amorphous carbon and tin dioxide. Transmission electron microscope images indicate that the nanowire consists of two parts, the outer carbon tube and the inner tin dioxide core. Meanwhile, the possible growth mechanism of SnO2@carbon tube-core nanowire is also discussed.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of hardware impairments (HWIs) on the performance of a downlink massive MIMO system. We consider a single-cell system with maximum ratio transmission (MRT) as precoding scheme, and with all the HWIs characteristics such as phase noise, distortion noise, and amplified thermal noise. Based on the system model, we derive closed-form expressions for a typical user data rate under two scenarios: when a common local oscillator (CLO) is used at the base station and when separated oscillators (SLOs) are used. We also derive closed-form expressions for the downlink transmit power required for some desired per-user data rate under each scenario. Compared to the conventional system with ideal transceiver hardware, our results show that impairments of hardware make a finite upper limit on the user’s downlink channel capacity; and as the number of base station antennas grows large, it is only the hardware impairments at the users that mainly limit the capacity. Our results also show that SLOs configuration provides higher data rate than CLO at the price of higher power consumption. An approach to minimize the effect of the hardware impairments on the system performance is also proposed in the paper. In our approach, we show that by reducing the cell size, the effect of accumulated phase noise during channel estimation time is minimized and hence the user capacity is increased, and the downlink transmit power is decreased.

<P><B>Background:</B></P><P>Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease in terms of molecular carcinogenic pathways. Based on recent findings regarding the multiple serrated neoplasia pathway, we revised an eight-marker panel for a new CIMP classification system.</P><P><B>Methods:</B></P><P>1370 patients who received surgical resection for CRCs were classified into three CIMP subtypes (CIMP-N: 0–4 methylated markers, CIMP-P1: 5–6 methylated markers and CIMP-P2: 7–8 methylated markers). Our findings were validated in a separate set of high-risk stage II or stage III CRCs receiving adjuvant fluoropyrimidine plus oxaliplatin (<I>n</I>=950).</P><P><B>Results:</B></P><P>A total of 1287/62/21 CRCs cases were classified as CIMP-N/CIMP-P1/CIMP-P2, respectively. CIMP-N showed male predominance, distal location, lower T, N category and devoid of <I>BRAF</I> mutation, microsatellite instability (MSI) and <I>MLH1</I> methylation. CIMP-P1 showed female predominance, proximal location, advanced TNM stage, mild decrease of CK20 and CDX2 expression, mild increase of CK7 expression, <I>BRAF</I> mutation, MSI and <I>MLH1</I> methylation. CIMP-P2 showed older age, female predominance, proximal location, advanced T category, markedly reduced CK20 and CDX2 expression, rare <I>KRAS</I> mutation, high frequency of CK7 expression, <I>BRAF</I> mutation, MSI and <I>MLH1</I> methylation. CIMP-N showed better 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS; HR=0.47; 95% CI: 0.28–0.78) in discovery set and better 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS; HR=0.50; 95% CI: 0.29–0.88) in validation set compared with CIMP-P1. CIMP-P2 showed marginally better 5-year CSS (HR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.07–1.22) in discovery set and marginally better 5-year RFS (HR=0.21, 95% CI: 0.05–0.92) in validation set compared with CIMP-P1.</P><P><B>Conclusions:</B></P><P>CIMP subtypes classified using our revised system showed different clinical outcomes, demonstrating the heterogeneity of multiple serrated precursors of CIMP-positive CRCs.</P>

Background: Arctic-like (AL) lineages of rabies viruses (RABVs) remains endemic in some Arctic and Asia countries. However, their evolutionary dynamics are largely unappreciated. Objectives: We attempted to estimate the evolutionary history, geographic origin and spread of the Arctic-related RABVs. Methods: Full length or partial sequences of the N and G genes were used to infer the evolutionary aspects of AL RABVs by Bayesian evolutionary analysis. Results: The most recent common ancestor (tMRCA) of the current Arctic and AL RABVs emerged in the 1830s and evolved independently after diversification. Population demographic analysis indicated that the viruses experienced gradual growth followed by a sudden decrease in its population size from the mid-1980s to approximately 2000. Genetic flow patterns among the regions reveal a high geographic correlation in AL RABVs transmission. Discrete phylogeography suggests that the geographic origin of the AL RABVs was in east Russia in approximately the 1830s. The ancestral AL RABV then diversified and immigrated to the countries in Northeast Asia, while the viruses in South Asia were dispersed to the neighboring regions from India. The N and G genes of RABVs in both clades sustained high levels of purifying selection, and the positive selection sites were mainly found on the C-terminus of the G gene. Conclusions: The current AL RABVs circulating in South and North Asia evolved and dispersed independently.

<P>We investigated the neuroprotective property of analogs of dextromethorphan (DM) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) models to identify neuroprotective drugs for Parkinson's disease (PD). In vivo studies showed that daily injections with DM analogs protected dopamine (DA) neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta and restored DA levels in striatum using two different models for PD. Of the five analogs studied, 3-hydroxymorphinan (3-HM), a metabolite of DM, was the most potent, and restored DA neuronal loss and DA depletion up to 90% of the controls. Behavioral studies showed an excellent correlation between potency for preventing toxin-induced decrease in motor activities and neuroprotective effects among the DM analogs studied, of which 3-HM was the most potent in attenuating behavioral damage. In vitro studies revealed two glia-dependent mechanisms for the neuroprotection by 3-HM. First, astroglia mediated the 3-HM-induced neurotrophic effect by increasing the gene expression of neurotrophic factors, which was associated with the increased acetylation of histone H3. Second, microglia participated in 3-HM-mediated neuroprotection by reducing MPTP-elicited reactive microgliosis as evidenced by the decreased production of reactive oxygen species. In summary, we show the potent neuroprotection by 3-HM in LPS and MPTP PD models investigated. With its high efficacy and low toxicity, 3-HM may be a novel therapy for PD.</P>
