TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR GENE POLYMORPHISM AND CYTOKINE PRODUCTION IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS B. Altun, C. Usalan, A.A. Kiykim, Y. Erdem, U. Yasavul, C. Turgan, S. Caglar Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Ankara Turkey A single base pair polymorphism located at -308, in TNF gene has been shown to be responsible for interindividual TNF alpha producton. TNF1 TNF2 genotype is associated with higher TNF production compared to TNF1 TNF1 genotype in blood cell culture in vitro and has been reported to be risk factor in some autoimmune disesaes. Increased production of proinflamatory cytokines is associated with immune dysfunction and chronic inflammatory complications in hemodialysis patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate role of TNF gene polymorphism on cytokine production in hemodialysis patients Twenty-four hemodialysis patients 13 M, 11 F, mean age 48 11 y ; were involved in this study. Interleukin 1 IL1 ; beta, tumor necrosis factor TNF ; alpha pg ml ; levels were measured before and after hemodialysis session. TNF gene polymorphism TNF1 TNF2 ; was determined by polymerase chain reaction. Predialysis TNF alpha levels of TNF1 TNF2 n 6 ; patients were higher than TNF1 TNF1 n 18 ; 32, 4 5.0 pg ml, vs. 28, 1 3.7 pg ml, p 0.05 ; . Predialysis IL1 beta levels of TNF1 TNF2 group were also higher than TNF1 TNF1 patients 35, 1 4.2 pg ml, vs. 26, 5 6.2 pg ml, p 0.05 ; . Postdialysis TNF alpha levels were elevated in TNF1 TNF2 compared to TNF1 TNF1 genotypes 30, 4 1, pg ml, vs. 28, 4 0, 82 pg ml, p 0.05 ; . However, post dialysis IL1 beta levels were similar in TNF1 TNF2 and TNF1 TNF1 patients p 0, 05 ; . conclusion, TNF1 TNF2 gene polymorphism might play an important role TNF alpha and IL1 beta production in hemodialysis patients As TNF1 TNF2 genotype is associated with increased cytokine levels, it might be a risk factor for inflamatory complications of hemodialysis.

In the 161 patients with t 8; 21 ; AML included in the same trials during the same period of time, we have identified baseline WBC and a derived WBC index taking into account the percentage of marrow blasts ; as the sole prognostic factor for relapse and outcome after CR achievement.22 In these patients median age, 28 years ; , age itself had no prognostic impact either on CR duration, DFS, or overall survival. Conversely, advanced age was here identified as the main prognostic factor for relapse and outcome after CR achievement in patients with inv 16 ; t 16 AML, while WBC was of no prognostic value. These contrary observations are summarized in Figure 4. Results of optimal age cutpoint analysis for DFS according to the cytogenetic subtype are shown in Figure 4A, which clearly indicates the prognostic impact of age in inv 16 ; t 16 AML while not in t 8; 21 ; AML patients. To study if this observation might be related to a lower compliance to the entire planned protocol in older patients, a comparative analysis of postremission therapy actually received was performed among 2 age subgroups using the optimal 35-year cutpoint. Among the 86 CR patients from the CHEMO group, 37 patients were aged younger than 35 years and 49 patients were aged 35 years or older. No significant differences in postremission therapy actually received at the planned dosage were found among these 2 subgroups of patients. Rates of first and second consolidation cycles as defined in Table 1 ; delivered at the planned dosage were 95% and 80% in the younger group versus 94% and 75% in the older group P .99 and .60, respectively ; . Results of optimal WBC cutpoint analysis for DFS according to the CBF subtype are shown in Figure 4B, which conversely indicates the prognostic impact of WBC in t 8; 21 ; AML while not in inv 16 ; t 16 AML patients and entex. The species richness of fungi ranged between 0 and 11 mean, 4.4 ; Table 3 ; . It was higher in Ipomoea pes-caprae 11 ; followed by Alysicarpus rugosus, Borreria articularis, Leucas aspera 10 ; and Polycarpaea corymbosa 9 ; . Leucas aspera, Alysicarpus rugosus and Ipomoea pescaprae showed higher fungal diversity than other plant species. Among 30 species of fungi reported, two species of Glomus, one species each of Sclerocystis and Scutellospora are likely to be new species since they do not fit into any described species. Drug interactions: 20, 24-27 entecavir is not a substrate, inhibitor, or inducer of the cyp450 enzyme system, even at concentrations greatly exceeding those used in therapy and epirubicin.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development is essential to Bristol-Myers Squibb's business. Pharmaceutical research and development is carried out by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute, which has major facilities in Princeton, Hopewell and New Brunswick, New Jersey and Wallingford, Connecticut. Pharmaceutical research and development is also carried out at various other facilities in the United States and in Belgium, Canada, France, Italy and the United Kingdom. Management continues to emphasize leadership, innovation and productivity as strategies for success in the Research Institute. Bristol-Myers Squibb spent , 939 million in 2000, , 759 million in 1999 and , 506 million in 1998 on Company sponsored research and development activities. Pharmaceutical research and development spending, as a percentage of pharmaceutical sales, was 13.0% in 2000 compared with 12.6% in 1999 and 12.4% in 1998. REGULATION Most aspects of the Company's business are subject to some degree of government regulation in the countries in which its operations are conducted. The Company's policy is to comply fully with all regulatory requirements applying to its products and operations. For some products, and in some countries, government regulation is significant and, in general, there is a trend to more stringent regulation. The Company devotes significant time, effort and expense addressing the extensive governmental regulatory requirements applicable to its business. Governmental regulatory actions can result in the recall or seizure of products, suspension or revocation of the authority necessary for the production or sale of a product, and other civil and criminal sanctions. In the United States, the drug, medical device, diagnostic and food industries in which the Company operates have long been subject to regulation by various federal, state and local agencies, primarily as to product manufacture, safety, efficacy, advertising and labeling. In addition, governmental bodies in the United States as well as other countries have expressed concern about costs relating to health care and, in some cases, have focused attention on the pricing of drugs and on appropriate drug utilization. Government regulation in these areas already exists in some countries and may be expanded significantly in the United States and other countries in the future. While the Company is unable to predict the extent to which its business may be affected by future regulatory developments, it believes that its substantial experience dealing with governmental regulatory requirements and restrictions on its operations throughout the world and its development of new and improved products should enable it to compete effectively within this environment. 5.

Intron A ; , peginterferon alfa-2a Pegasys ; , lamivudine Epivir-HBV ; , adefovir HepseraTM ; , entecavir BaracludeTM ; , and telbivudine TyzekaTM ; . The interferons are injectable and the others are oral medications.All of these agents are inhibitors of hepatitis B polymerase, which is the enzyme that allows the virus to replicate. They do not kill the virus but suppress replication. A study using lamivudine showed that reducing viral replication has been shown to substantially decrease the number of patients who develop advanced liver disease over three years 9 percent versus 21 percent ; .16 Unfortunately the virus can develop resistance to medications.The emergence of a resistant virus is associated with the rebound of serum viral load, increased rate of disease progression, elevated serum ALT, decreased rate of seroconversion, reversion of histological improvement, reinfection of liver grafts, and transmission of drug resistance. After four years of treatment, seventy percent of people become resistant to lamivudine. Rates of resistance to adefovir and entecavir are very low during the first two to three years of therapy. Rates increase after that, but are still lower than those seen with lamivudine. Resistance does develop to telbivudine, which is the newest agent, at a rate of twenty-one percent during the first two years.This is not as high as with lamivudine, but is much worse than the other two oral products. At this time, none of the treatments for hepatitis B have been compared head-to-head. In general, the efficacy measures such as viral load response at one year are about the same with each agent. The oral medications all appear to be well tolerated in patients. Injections of interferon can cause flu like symptoms and local reactions in many patients and eplerenone.

Department of Physics, Tokyo Gakugei University, Nukuikitamachi 4-1-1, Koganeishi, Tokyo 184-8501, Japan Corresponding author email: kanazawa u-gakuigei.ac.jp Diffusion length of free positrons in polymers can be estimated from the positron mobility and Einstein's relation. However, diffusion property of positrons in polymers is very complex, and the positron diffusion in polymers might not satisfy Einstein's relation. Thus, experimental determination of diffusion length of positrons in polymers has been required. In this study, we made thin Ni film on polyethylene and thin films on polycarbonate using MBE, and the positron annihilation lifetimes in those thin films are measured using slow positron beam. Then, we have estimated experimentally the diffusion lengths of positrons in polyethylene and polycarbonate.

Strategic appraisal of the HBV developmental pipeline and recent events with focus on new antivirals such as entecavir Baraclude ; and telbivudine L-dT ; According to the WHO, 350-400 million people are chronically infected with HBV progresses to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Previously HBV has been treated with lamivudine or adefovir monotherapy and 'off label' use of unmodified and pegylated interferon. Recent US approval of BMS's new nucleoside entecavir Baraclude ; and EU approval of Roche's Pegasys will change the status quo. In this Pipeline Analysis Datamonitor presents: Comprehensive overview of HBV pipeline nucleosides, nucleotides and immunomodulators Opinion leader appraisal of HBV clinical trial design, comparators and endpoint definition Detailed analysis of entecavir first year market share and peak sales forecast Expert outlook on evolution of HBV therapy and discussion of opposing views and epoprostenol.

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, Intimal Hyperplasia, and Ischemic Complications in Giant Cell Arteritis--Kaiser M, Weyand CM, Bjornsson J, Goronzy JJ Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN 55905 ; --Arthritis Rheum. 1998; 41: 623 American College of Rheumatology. Objective. To explore whether vasoocclusion in giant cell temporal ; arteritis GCA ; is related to intimal hyperplasia and in situ production of platelet-derived growth factor PDGF ; . Methods. Temporal artery biopsy specimens from patients with GCA were analyzed for the presence of intimal hyperplasia. Expression of PDGF-A and PDGF-B was assessed by immunohistochemistry and digitized image analysis. Results. PDGF-A and PDGF-B were widely expressed in inflamed arteries. CD68 macrophages, smooth muscle cells, and multinucleated giant cells produced PDGF, whereas hyperplastic intimal tissue did not. Arteries with marked luminal narrowing and those with no or minimal luminal narrowing differed in the extent and distribution of PDGF expression. Concentric intimal hyperplasia was associated with the accumulation of PDGF-A and PDGF-Bproducing CD68 macrophages at the mediaintima junction. PDGF , CD68 macrophages in close proximity to the internal elastic lamina frequently coproduced matrix metalloproteinase 2. Intimal hyperplasia of the temporal artery correlated with ischemic complications of GCA, such as ocular involvement, jaw claudication, and aortic arch syndrome. Conclusion. Production of PDGF has a role in arterial occlusion in GCA. The excessive fibroproliferative response leading to luminal narrowing can be distinguished from the stenosing process in atherosclerosis and postangioplasty restenosis, suggesting that there are different response patterns to arterial injury. In GCA, macrophages at the mediaintima border are the dominant source of PDGF. Since vasoocclusion is associated with a number of serious complications in GCA, inhibition of intimal proliferation should be a major goal of treatment.

The number of study volunteers who had undetectable levels of hepatitis B virus by the end of the treatment year were much greater for those on telbivudine. In HBeAg-positive people, 60 percent achieved undetectable levels on telbivudine versus 40.4 percent for those taking lamivudine. For HBeAg-negative study participants, telbivudine brought viral levels down to undetectable for 88.3 percent compared to 71.4 percent for lamivudine. Telbivudine also got those viral levels down about five to six weeks faster, on average, than lamivudine. Resistance developed in 5 percent of HBeAg-positive people taking telbivudine and in 11 percent of those on lamivudine. For those who were HBeAg-negative, the rates of resistance were 2.3 percent for those on telbivudine and 10.7 percent for those on lamivudine. According to the study's authors, both medications have a similar side effect profile, and no significant differences were found in the current study volunteers. "Telbivudine seems to work and be safe. It seems to have shown a better therapeutic and histological response, " said Dr. Marc Siegel, an internist at New York University Medical Center. "It decreases the risk of cirrhosis. It's well-tolerated, and it prevents the progression of hepatitis B better than the standard treatment right now, " said Siegel. The study authors pointed out that telbivudine hasn't yet been compared to the other new hepatitis B medication, entecavir, in a randomized clinical trial. Entecavir has also been shown to be more effective than lamivudine and creates less resistance as well.
