Haplotype Analysis Of Common Variants In The Brca1 Gene And Risk Of Sporadic Breast Cancer, David G. Cox, Peter Kraft, Susan E. Hankinson, David J. Hunter
Haplotype Analysis Of Common Variants In The Brca1 Gene And Risk Of Sporadic Breast Cancer, David G. Cox, Peter Kraft, Susan E. Hankinson, David J. Hunter
Susan E. Hankinson
Introduction Truncation mutations in the BRCA1 gene cause a substantial increase in risk of breast cancer. However, these mutations are rare in the general population and account for little of the overall incidence of sporadic breast cancer. Method We used whole-gene resequencing data to select haplotype tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms, and examined the association between common haplotypes of BRCA1 and breast cancer in a nested case-control study in the Nurses' Health Study (1323 cases and 1910 controls). Results One haplotype was associated with a slight increase in risk (odds ratio 1.18, 95% confidence interval 1.02–1.37). A significant interaction (P = …

Lotti Tajouri
The Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) gene is a cell surface receptor that plays an important role in cholesterol homeostasis. We investigated the (TA)n polymorphism in exon 18 of the LDLR gene on chromosome 19p13.2 performing an association analysis in 244 typical migraine-affected patients, 151 suffering from migraine with aura (MA), 96 with migraine without aura (MO) and 244 unaffected controls. The populations consisted of Caucasians only, and controls were age- and sex-matched. The results showed no significant difference between groups for allele frequency distributions of the (TA)n polymorphism even after separation of the migraine-affected individuals into subgroups of MA and …

Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.
Objective: Although much attention has been given to the effects of adverse childhood experiences on the development of personality disorders (PDs), we know far less about how recent life events influence the ongoing course of functioning. We examined the extent to which PD subjects differ in rates of life events and the extent to which life events impact psychosocial functioning. Method: A total of 633 subjects were drawn from the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders Study (CLPS), a multi-site study of four personality disorders – schizotypal (STPD), borderline (BPD), avoidant (AVPD), obsessive-compulsive (OCPD) – and a comparison group of major depressive …

Ampk Activation Is Not Critical In The Regulation Of Muscle Fa Uptake And Oxidation During Low-Intensity Muscle Contraction, Marcella Raney, Alice Yee, Mark Todd, Lorraine Turcotte
Ampk Activation Is Not Critical In The Regulation Of Muscle Fa Uptake And Oxidation During Low-Intensity Muscle Contraction, Marcella Raney, Alice Yee, Mark Todd, Lorraine Turcotte
Marcella Raney
To determine the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation on the regulation of fatty acid (FA) uptake and oxidation, we perfused rat hindquarters with 6 mM glucose, 10 μU/ml insulin, 550 μM palmitate, and [14C]palmitate during rest (R) or electrical stimulation (ES), inducing low-intensity (0.1 Hz) muscle contraction either with or without 2 mM 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR). AICAR treatment significantly increased glucose and FA uptake during R (P < 0.05) but had no effect on either variable during ES (P > 0.05). AICAR treatment significantly increased total FA oxidation (P < 0.05) during both R (0.38 ± 0.11 vs. 0.89 ± 0.1 nmol·min−1·g−1) and ES (0.73 ± 0.11 vs. 2.01 ± 0.1 nmol·min−1·g−1), which was paralleled in both conditions by a significant increase and significant decrease in AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity, respectively (P < 0.05). Low-intensity muscle contraction increased glucose uptake, FA uptake, and total FA oxidation (P < 0.05) despite no change in AMPK (950.5 ± 35.9 vs. 1,067.7 ± 58.8 nmol·min−1·g−1) or ACC (51.2 ± 6.7 vs. 55.7 ± 2.0 nmol·min−1·g−1) activity from R to ES (P > 0.05). When contraction and AICAR treatment were combined, the AICAR-induced increase in AMPK activity (34%) did not account for the synergistic increase in …

Is Extended Volume External Beam Radiation Therapy Covering The Anastomotic Site Beneficial In Post-Esophagectomy High Risk Patients?, Edward Yu, Rashid Dar, George Rodrigues, Larry Stitt, Gregory Videtic, Pauline Truong, Anna Tomiak, Robert Ash, Ed Brecevic, Richard Inculet, Richard Malthaner, Mark Vincent, Ian Craig, Walter Kocha, Michael Lefcoe
Edward Yu
Background and purpose: To assess the impact of extended volume radiation therapy (RT) with anastomotic coverage on local control in high risk post-operative esophageal cancer patients. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective study of high risk (T(3), T(4), nodes positive, with or without margin involvement) post-operative esophageal cancer patients treated at London Regional Cancer Centre from 1989 to 1999. After esophagectomy, all patients received adjuvant combined modality therapy consisting of four cycles of fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, and loco-regional RT with or without coverage of the anastomotic site. RT dose ranged from 45 to 60 Gy at 1.8-2.0 Gy/fraction with treatment …
Validity Of Das Perfectionism And Need For Approval In Relation To The Five-Factor Model Of Personality, David M. Dunkley, Charles A. Sanislow, Carlos M. Grilo, Thomas H. Mcglashan
Validity Of Das Perfectionism And Need For Approval In Relation To The Five-Factor Model Of Personality, David M. Dunkley, Charles A. Sanislow, Carlos M. Grilo, Thomas H. Mcglashan
Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.
This study examined the validity of the perfectionism and need for approval scales of the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS; Weissman & Beck, 1978) by locating these measures within a comprehensive framework of personality, provided by the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992), in a clinical sample (N ¼ 132). The results indicated that: (1) DAS perfectionism reflects the self-critical aspects of the broader perfectionism construct rather than the active achievement striving aspects; (2) DAS need for approval generally lacks an association with positive interpersonal traits and shares much in common with DAS perfectionism; and (3) with shared …

In this study, the authors examined time-varying associations between schizotypal (STPD), borderline (BPD), avoidant (AVPD), or obsessive-compulsive (OCPD) personality disorders and co-occurring Axis I disorders in 544 adult participants from the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders Study. The authors tested predictions of specific longitudinal associations derived from a model of crosscutting psychobiological dimensions (L. J. Siever & K. L. Davis, 1991) with participants with the relevant Axis I disorders. The authors assessed participants at baseline and at 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-up evaluations. BPD showed significant longitudinal associations with major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. AVPD was significantly associated with …
Respect: Or, How Respect For Persons Became Respect For Autonomy, M. Therese Lysaught
Respect: Or, How Respect For Persons Became Respect For Autonomy, M. Therese Lysaught
M. Therese Lysaught
This article provides an intellectual archeology of how the term “respect” has functioned in the field of bioethics. I argue that over time the function of the term has shifted, with a significant turning point occurring in 1979. Prior to 1979, the term “respect” connoted primarily the notion of “respect for persons” which functioned as an umbrella which conferred protection to autonomous persons and those with compromised autonomy. But in 1979, with the First Edition of Principles of Biomedical Ethics by Beauchamp and Childress, and the report of the Ethical Advisory Board (EAB) of the (then) Department of Health, Education, …

Detecting Spatiotemporal Clusters Of Accidental Poisoning Mortality Among Texas Counties, U.S., 1980 – 2001, Ella T. Nkhoma, Chiehwen Ed Hsu
Chiehwen Ed Hsu
BACKGROUND: Accidental poisoning is one of the leading causes of injury in the United States, second only to motor vehicle accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the rates of accidental poisoning mortality have been increasing in the past fourteen years nationally. In Texas, mortality rates from accidental poisoning have mirrored national trends, increasing linearly from 1981 to 2001. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are spatiotemporal clusters of accidental poisoning mortality among Texas counties, and if so, whether there are variations in clustering and risk according to gender and race/ethnicity. The Spatial …

Evaluation Of Intra- And Inter-Fraction Motion In Breast Radiotherapy Using Electronic Portal Cine Imaging, Tomas Kron, Chrison Lee, Francisco Perera, Edward Yu
Edward Yu
Breast irradiation is one of the most challenging problems in radiotherapy due to the complex shape of the target volume, proximity of radiation sensitive normal structures and breathing motion. It was the aim of the present study to use electronic portal imaging (EPI) during treatment to determine intra- and inter-fraction motion in patients undergoing radiotherapy and to correlate the magnitude of motion with patient specific parameters. EPI cine images were acquired from the medial tangential fields of twenty radiotherapy patients on a minimum of 5 days each over the course of their treatment. The treatments were administered using 10 MV …

he authors examined the stability of schizotypal (STPD), borderline (BPD), avoidant (AVPD) and obsessive-compulsive (OCPD) personality disorders (PDs) over 2 years of prospective multiwave follow-up. Six hundred thirty-three participants recruited at 4 collaborating sites who met criteria for 1 or more of the 4 PDs or for major depressive disorder (MOD) without PD were assessed with semistructured interviews at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months. Lifetable survival analyses revealed that the PD groups had slower time to remission than the MDD group. Categorically, PD remission rates range from 50% (AVPD) to 61% (STPD) for dropping below diagnostic threshold on a …
The Progesterone Receptor Val660→Leu Polymorphism And Breast Cancer Risk, Immaculata De Vivo, Susan E. Hankinson, Graham A. Colditz, David J. Hunter
The Progesterone Receptor Val660→Leu Polymorphism And Breast Cancer Risk, Immaculata De Vivo, Susan E. Hankinson, Graham A. Colditz, David J. Hunter
Graham Andrew Colditz
Background Recent evidence suggests a role for progesterone in breast cancer development and tumorigenesis. Progesterone exerts its effect on target cells by interacting with its receptor; thus, genetic variations, which might cause alterations in the biological function in the progesterone receptor (PGR), can potentially contribute to an individual's susceptibility to breast cancer. It has been reported that the PROGINS allele, which is in complete linkage disequilibrium with a missense substitution in exon 4 (G/T, valine→leucine, at codon 660), is associated with a decreased risk for breast cancer. Methods Using a nested case-control study design within the Nurses' Health Study cohort, …
