Abstract: Background Cervical hematoma can be a potentially fatal complication after thyroidectomy, but its risk factors and timing remain poorly understood. Methods We conducted a retrospective, case-control study identifying 207 patients from 15 institutions in 3 countries who developed a hematoma requiring return to the operating room (OR) after thyroidectomy. Results Forty-seven percent of hematoma patients returned to the OR within 6 hours and 79% within 24 hours of their thyroidectomy. On univariate analysis, hematoma patients were older, more likely to be male, smokers, on active antiplatelet/anticoagulation medications, have Graves' disease, a bilateral thyroidectomy, a drain placed, a concurrent parathyroidectomy, and benign pathology. Hematoma patients also had more blood loss, larger thyroids, lower temperatures, and higher blood pressures postoperatively. On multivariate analysis, independent associations with hematoma were use of a drain (odds ratio, 2.79), Graves' disease (odds ratio, 2.43), benign pathology (odds ratio, 2.22), antiplatelet/anticoagulation medications (odds ratio, 2.12), use of a hemostatic agent (odds ratio, 1.97), and increased thyroid mass (odds ratio, 1.01). Conclusion A significant number of patients with a postoperative hematoma present >6 hours after thyroidectomy. Hematoma is associated with patients who have a drain or hemostatic agent, have Graves' disease, are actively using antiplatelet/anticoagulation medications or have large thyroids. Surgeons should consider these factors when individualizing patient disposition after thyroidectomy.

Abstract: Background: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is among the most aggressive solid tumors, with a uniformly fatal prognosis. No effective systemic therapies exist. We document a case in which a patient with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) failed to respond to either mTOR or combined RAF/MEK inhibition, but experienced a dramatic response when both drug regimens were combined. Methods and Results: Nine biopsies of the tumor were obtained between diagnosis and autopsy. Multi-region whole-exome sequencing revealed truncal BRAF and PIK3CA mutations, which are known to activate the MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways respectively. We performed the largest meta-analysis of ATC to date and found a 7.4% co-occurrence of MAPK and PI3K pathway alterations in ATC. We analyzed 5,255 cancer exomes in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to determine whether similar cancer genomes occurred outside of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. We identified 11 tumors with BRAF V600E and non-silent PIK3CA mutations. These results indicate that this genotype occurs in other cancers and may predict response to combined therapy. Conclusions and future directions: We have identified a patient with ATC who had a dramatic response to combined inhibition of the MAPK and PI3K pathways, whereas neither MAPK inhibition nor PI3K inhibition alone was sufficient to produce tumor regression. These observations suggest that MAPK and PI3K/MTOR pathway blockade represents an effective dual therapy aimed at the founding oncogenic lesions in a subset of ATC. Citation Format: William J.

Abstract: Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Kinome profiling is a novel technique for identifying activated kinases in human cancers. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Src activity is increased in invasive thyroid cancers. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Inhibition of Src activity decreased proliferation and invasion in vitro. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Further investigation of Src targeted therapies in thyroid cancer is warranted. -- Abstract: Background: Novel therapies are needed for the treatment of invasive thyroid cancers. Aberrant activation of tyrosine kinases plays an important role in thyroid oncogenesis. Because current targeted therapies are biased toward a small subset of tyrosine kinases, we conducted a study to reveal novel therapeutic targets for thyroid cancer using a bead-based, high-throughput system. Methods: Thyroid tumors and matched normal tissues were harvested from twenty-six patients in the operating room. Protein lysates were analyzed using the Luminex immunosandwich, a bead-based kinase phosphorylation assay. Data was analyzed using GenePattern 3.0 software and clustered according to histology, demographic factors, and tumor status regarding capsular invasion, size, lymphovascular invasion, and extrathyroidal extension. Survival and invasion assays were performed to determine the effect of Src inhibition in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cells. Results: Tyrosine kinome profiling demonstrated upregulation of nine tyrosine kinases in tumors relative to matched normal thyroid tissue: EGFR, PTK6, BTK, HCK, ABL1,more » TNK1, GRB2, ERK, and SRC. Supervised clustering of well-differentiated tumors by histology, gender, age, or size did not reveal significant differences in tyrosine kinase activity. However, supervised clustering by the presence of invasive disease showed increased Src activity in invasive tumors relative to non-invasive tumors (60% v. 0%, p < 0.05). In vitro, we found that Src inhibition in PTC cells decreased cell invasion and proliferation. Conclusion: Global kinome analysis enables the discovery of novel targets for thyroid cancer therapy. Further investigation of Src targeted therapy for advanced thyroid cancer is warranted.« less

Abstract: To describe a patient presenting with hemorrhagic shock attributable to bleeding pheochromocytomas and the sequential management strategy used for treating this patient.We summarize the clinical presentation, diagnostic work-up, surgical management, and pathologic features of our patient and review the pertinent literature.A 38-year-old man with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A and bilateral pheochromocytomas presented initially with nearly fatal retroperitoneal and intraperitoneal hemorrhage rather than the characteristic hypertensive paroxysms. After lifesaving operative intervention and a 5-month period of rehabilitation and convalescence, the patient underwent bilateral retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy as definitive treatment. Thus, the abdomen that had been operated on multiple times because of hemorrhage was left undisturbed, and the patient had a successful recovery.Near-fatal intraperitoneal hemorrhage is a very rare initial manifestation of pheochromocytoma. Our current patient with bilateral pheochromocytomas presented in this dramatic manner. This case shows that a sequential management strategy of damage-control surgical treatment followed by future resection of the tumors after appropriate a-adrenergic blockade is a safe and effective therapeutic option.

Abstract: We aimed to validate the effectiveness of a protocol for primary hyperparathyroidism in which intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement (IOPTH) was not routinely used during minimally invasive parathyroidectomy for patients with dual localization by technetium Tc 99m sestamibi (MIBI) and ultrasonography and hypothesized that our rate of surgical failure would be less than 3% for patients with concordant localization.Prospective cohort study.Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.One hundred nineteen patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and dual localization.Incidence of surgical cure following minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) without the use of IOPTH for patients with dual localization.A total of 324 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism underwent parathyroid exploration between October 1, 2005, and September 30, 2009. In 136 patients (42.0%), imaging was concordant by MIBI and ultrasonography, and 119 patients were scheduled for MIP. Our protocol for MIP without IOPTH was successful in 115 patients (97%), with 13 cases converted to bilateral exploration based on intraoperative suspicion of multiglandular disease. Eight of 13 conversions (62%) revealed multiglandular disease that was undetected on imaging, 6 of which were apparent from examination of the ipsilateral second parathyroid gland. Four of 136 patients (3%) had persistent postoperative hypercalcemia necessitating reoperation, and all 4 had an adjacent but unseen second adenoma. There was no significant difference in the surgical cure rate following MIP without IOPTH for this prospective study vs a previously published retrospective analysis by our group (97% vs 98%, P = .47).Focused parathyroid gland exploration without IOPTH can be successfully performed in a select group of patients with dual localization by MIBI and ultrasonography. However, identification of the second ipsilateral gland may be critical to ruling out undetected multiglandular disease.

Abstract: To report a case of a large pancreatic tumor that had clinical characteristics of an insulinoma without classic pathologic features.We describe a 58-year-old woman who presented with a 3-month history of symptomatic hypoglycemic episodes, which were characterized by confusion. The laboratory, imaging, and pathologic findings are summarized, the current literature on giant insulinomas is reviewed, and the distinction between clinical and pathologic diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors is discussed.The biochemical diagnosis of insulinoma was established with concomitant low fasting blood glucose concentrations and inappropriately high insulin levels. An abdominal computed tomographic scan revealed a mass (10 by 11.7 by 9.7 cm) in the head and body of the pancreas, which was resected. Pathologic examination revealed a massive neuroendocrine tumor (13.5 by 11 by 8 cm) without immunohistochemical evidence of insulin expression. Nevertheless, tumor resection resulted in decreased blood insulin levels and resolution of the patient's hypoglycemia.Although more than 95% of insulinomas are smaller than 3 cm, this case is unique in that the extremely large pancreatic tumor had clinical characteristics of an insulinoma but did not have the classic pathologic findings. Because of the extensive pancreatic resection, the patient is dependent on both insulin and orally administered pancreatic enzymes but remained free of symptoms and disease recurrence at 1-year follow-up.

Abstract: Low tumoral expression of mitogen-inducible gene-6 (Mig-6) is associated with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) recurrence after thyroidectomy.We hypothesize that Mig-6 behaves as a tumor suppressor in PTC.Mig-6 expression and promoter methylation status were compared in 31 PTC specimens with matched normal thyroid tissue from the same patient. The impact of Mig-6 loss and gain of function on nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activation, global tyrosine kinase phosphorylation, and cellular invasion was determined in vitro.Mig-6 protein was abundant in all normal thyroid specimens, whereas 77% of PTC had low Mig-6 expression. Mig-6 promoter methylation was found in 79% of PTC with low Mig-6 expression. Low Mig-6 expression in PTC specimens was associated with low NF-κB activity but high levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ERK phosphorylation. Mig-6 expression inversely correlated with PTC size but had no association with other clinicopathological variables including age, extrathyroidal extension, lymphovascular invasion, or histological subtype. Mig-6 knockdown in thyroid cancer cell lines resulted in EGFR phosphorylation and diminished NF-κB activity, whereas Mig-6 overexpression had the opposite effects. Mig-6 knockdown activated ErbB2, Met, and Src phosphorylation. Furthermore, Mig-6 regulated ERK phosphorylation independent from its effects on EGFR. Mig-6 knockdown promoted cellular proliferation, as determined by clonogenic survival. Lastly, Mig-6 knockdown increased matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 activities and increased cellular invasion.Mig-6 has tumor suppressor-like activity in PTC. In vivo studies are required to confirm that Mig-6 is a putative tumor suppressor in PTC, and future studies should investigate the utility of Mig-6 as a diagnostic marker.

Abstract: Thyroid and lung cancers, two malignancies with similar immunohistological characteristics, have vastly different biologic behaviors and treatment approaches. As thyroid cancers commonly spread to the lungs, metastatic thyroid cancer should be included in the differential diagnosis of a pulmonary lesion or lesions.A 54-year-old woman with a remote history of stage IV nonsmall cell lung cancer was found to have FDG avidity in the thyroid and right cervical lymph nodes. Subsequent ultrasonographic findings and FNA cytology led to a total thyroidectomy, bilateral central lymphadenectomy, and right modified radical lymph node dissection for primary thyroid cancer. Reviews and comparisons of the pulmonary and cervical surgical specimens revealed that the patient had been misdiagnosed for the previous 6 years; she had metastatic papillary thyroid cancer to the lung. The patient's original diagnosis of stage IV lung cancer was based upon the original lung biopsy showing positive thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) immunostaining. The original diagnosis was questioned because of her long survival when she was diagnosed with locally advanced papillary thyroid cancer. Further analyses of the immunohistological characteristics of both surgical specimens--including staining for TTF-1, thyroglobulin, CD57, S-100, and CEA--documented the correct diagnosis.A thorough understanding of the natural history and surgical pathology, including immunohistology, of lung and thyroid cancers is necessary for a correct and timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Because TTF-1 expression is seen in both thyroid and lung cancers, careful consideration should be given to both malignancies when evaluating patients with thyroid and pulmonary nodules.

Abstract: The time dependence of oscillations has been observed using events with a d∗, decaying into a D0π+, and a lepton in opposite hemispheres. The time dependence of the oscillations is derived from the displacement of the D0 vertex and the D∗-lepton charge correlation. From a fit for the oscillation frequency the mass difference of the B0d states is measured: Δm = [3.44+0.65−0.70(stat.)+0.26−0.20(syst.)] × 10−4 eV/c2.

Abstract: Although autophagy is generally considered a prosurvival mechanism that preserves viability, there is evidence that it could drive an alternative programmed cell death pathway in cells with defects in apoptosis. Because the inhibition of autophagic activity promotes resistance to both chemotherapy and external beam radiation in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), we determined if RAD001, a potent activator of autophagy, improves the efficacy of either therapy. We found that RAD001 increased the expression level of light chain 3-II, a marker for autophagy, as well as autophagosome formation in cell lines and in human PTC ex vivo. RAD001 sensitized PTC to doxorubicin and external beam radiation in a synergistic fashion, suggesting that combination therapy could improve therapeutic response at less toxic concentrations. The effects of RAD001 were abrogated by RNAi knockdown of the autophagy-related gene 5, suggesting that RAD001 acts, in part, by enhancing autophagy. Because the synergistic activity of RAD001 with doxorubicin and external radiation suggests distinct and complementary mechanisms of action, we characterized how autophagy modulates signaling pathways in PTC. To do so, we performed kinome profiling and discovered that autophagic activation resulted in Src phosphorylation and Met dephosphorylation. Src inhibition did not reverse the effects of RAD001, whereas Met inhibition reversed the effects of autophagy blockade on chemosensitivity. These results suggest that the anticancer effects of autophagic activation are mediated largely through Met. We conclude that RAD001 induces autophagy, which enhances the therapeutic response to cytotoxic chemotherapy and external beam radiation in PTC. Mol Cancer Res; 8(9); 1217–26. ©2010 AACR.

Abstract: Activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway is implicated in thyroid tumorigenesis, and up to 90% of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) demonstrate aberrant expression of beta-catenin. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs reverse aberrant beta-catenin expression and localization in colon cancer. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug sulindac would reverse aberrant beta-catenin activity in thyroid cancer cells.beta-catenin protein levels were determined in thyroidectomy specimens from six consecutive patients and in three different thyroid cancer cells lines (8505-C, KTC-1, and TPC-1) by immunoblotting. Cells of 8505-C and KTC-1 harbor the BRAF(V600E) mutation, and TPC-1 has the RET/PTC rearrangement. All cell lines were treated with sulindac (100 microM for up to 72 hours). Protein levels of c-myc and cyclin D1 were detected by immunoblotting, and beta-catenin localization was determined by immunocytochemistry in the PTC cell lines. PCCL3 rat thyroid cells that conditionally overexpress either BRAF(V600E) or RET/PTC were also treated with sulindac.All PTC specimens and cell lines expressed high levels of beta-catenin protein and displayed aberrant nuclear and cytoplasmic localization of beta-catenin. Exposure to sulindac for 48 hours reduced beta-catenin expression in 8505-C and KTC-1 cells, but not in TPC-1 cells. Further, sulindac treatment reduced c-myc and cyclin D1 levels in 8505-C and KTC-1 cells, but had no effect in TPC-1 cells. Immunocytochemistry demonstrated that sulindac treatment redistributed beta-catenin from the nucleus to the membrane in 8505-C and KTC-1 cells. However, sulindac did not affect beta-catenin localization in TPC-1 cells. Finally, sulindac was effective in decreasing beta-catenin expression and cellular proliferation in BRAF(V600E)-overexpressing cells, but not in RET/PTC3-overexpressing cells.Taken together, our findings demonstrate that sulindac treatment reverses beta-catenin activity in 8505-C and KTC-1 cell lines with the BRAF(V600E), but not in TPC-1 cells with the RET/PTC mutation. Future studies should investigate the potential for beta-catenin-directed therapy for patients with advanced thyroid cancers.

Abstract: The aims of this study were to evaluate contemporary outcomes associated with the surgical management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and to assess the prognostic value of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification and TNM staging for PNETs. The medical records of 73 consecutive patients with PNETs treated at a single institution from January 1992 through September 2006 were reviewed. Survival was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method (median follow-up: 43 months). Median patient age was 52 years (range, 19-83 years), and 36 (49%) patients were male. Thirty-three patients had a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (WDT), 26 had a well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (WDCa), and 14 had a poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (PDCa). Fifty (68%) patients underwent potentially curative resection, and the 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) rate for the entire cohort was 62%. WHO classification and TNM staging system provided good prognostic stratification of patients; 5-year DSS rates were 100% for WDT, 57% for WDCa, 8% for PDCa, respectively, by WHO classification (p

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Although duty hours regulations (DHR) were introduced as a measure to improve patient safety and graduate medical education, new evidence suggests that the opposite might be happening. This study was designed to assess surgery resident perceptions of the impact that DHR have had on their education, the number of hours they believed would be ideal for their training, and to evaluate the effect of seniority on these opinions. STUDY DESIGN: An Internet-based survey was electronically distributed to all Resident and Associate members of the American College of Surgeons. RESULTS: Of 599 respondents, 247 (41%) believed that DHR were an important barrier to their education, and 266 (44%) believed that the ideal work week should have 80 to 100 hours. These two opinions were highly correlated, and were increasingly voiced with increased resident experience. Senior residents were more likely to view DHR as an important barrier to their education whether or not they were general surgery residents or were trained in small, medium, or large programs. CONCLUSIONS: A large subset of surgery residents, particularly senior residents, considered DHR an important barrier to their education and expressed a desire to work longer hours than restrictions allow. These findings suggest that strict and uniform DHR do not allow for optimal training of residents at different levels who have disparate educational goals and needs. Introducing some flexibility into senior residents' limitations should be considered.

Abstract: Hypothesis Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and negative preoperative localization imaging have a different outcome than patients with positive imaging. Design Prospective single-surgeon case series. Setting Referral center. Patients Forty-two patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, indications for surgery, and both cervical ultrasonographic results and technetium Tc 99m sestamibi nuclear images that were nonlocalizing over a 5- year span. Main Outcome Measures Extent of surgery required to produce cure; operative findings. Results Of 430 patients undergoing surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism, 351 underwent both ultrasonographic and sestamibi imaging. Among 351 patients, the imaging results of 42 patients did not show an adenoma, and these patients underwent cervical exploratory surgery. Of 42 patients, 41 were cured at a mean follow-up of 90 days; 1 patient underwent surgical reexploration and was cured by removal of a mediastinal adenoma. To achieve initial cure, 12 of 42 patients (28.6%) required partial thyroidectomy, 9 (21.4%) required partial thymectomy, 17 (40.5%) required paratracheal dissection to access or devascularize an obscure adenoma. Pathologic examination disclosed single adenoma in 26 of 42 patients (61.9%), parathyroid hyperplasia in 14 (33.3%), and double adenoma in 2 (4.8%). Conclusions Patients whose preoperative localization studies fail to localize solitary adenoma commonly require extensive surgery to cure hyperparathyroidism. Lack of localization may be a reasonable criterion on which to base referral of the patient to a high-volume medical center.

Abstract: Mitogen-inducible gene-6 (Mig-6) is an immediate early response gene that negatively regulates signaling. EGFR overexpression and activating mutations in MAPK signaling effectors are common events in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The purpose of this study was to determine if Mig-6 expression is associated with EGFR expression or surgical outcomes in PTC.We determined Mig-6 transcript levels from a microarray in 19 patients with PTC who underwent thyroidectomy. We established a maximally selected cutoff to discriminate Kaplan-Meier survival estimates. For cross-validation, we performed quantitative RT-PCR on resected well-differentiated PTC from an additional 106 patients.Mig-6 and EGFR mRNA levels correlated directly (P.0001). Mig-6 expression above the cutoff of 1.10 (2;-dCt[Mig6-GUS]) was associated with greater survival (P = .008). When this cutoff was applied in the cross-validation, high Mig-6 expression was associated with longer survival (P = .03) and disease-free survival (P = .07). Furthermore, high Mig-6 expression was independently predictive of greater disease-free survival in BRAF(V600E)-positive PTC.High Mig-6 expression in PTC is associated with favorable outcomes. Mig-6 is a novel tumor suppressor that may be a candidate for targeted cancer therapeutics in patients with PTC refractory to conventional therapy.

Abstract: The light scalar Higgs boson h and the pseudoscalar Higgs boson A of the minimal supersymmetric standard model have been searched for in the processes e+e−→hff and e+e−→hA using data collected by ALEPH at the LEP e+e− collider, with center of mass energies at and near the Z peak. Using a variety of signatures adapted to various mass ranges for h and A, we have excluded a large domain in the parameter space. For large values of ν2ν1, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs fields, the whole range from 0 to 38.8 GeV is excluded for Mh and MA at 95% CL.

Abstract: We have performed a search for supersymmetric particles using acoplanar pairs of oppositely-charged particles in decays of the Z0. In 0.53 pb−1 of integrated luminosity near the Z0 peak, we observe two events where approximately four are expected from background, allowing limits to be extended on combined photino and slepton masses, and also on combined photino and chargino masses.

Abstract: We report on properties of hadronic events from e+e− annihilation observed by the ALEPH detector at the large Electron Positron Collider at CERN. The center-of-mass energy was . Measured distributions of the global event-shape variables sphericity, aplanarity, thrust and minor value, and of the inclusive variables xp, p⊥in, p⊥out and y are presented. We measure a mean charged multiplicity in hadronic events of 〈Nch〉=21.3±0.1 (statistical)±0.6 (systematic). The data are in good agreement with QCD-based models which use the leading-logarithm approximation, and are less well described by a model using O(αs2) QCD.

Abstract: In SOLEIL, 5 solid state amplifiers provide the required rf power at $352\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MHz}$: $1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}35\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{kW}$ in the booster and $4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}190\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{kW}$ in the storage ring. They consist in a combination of a large number of 330 W elementary modules ($1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}147$ in the booster and $4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}724$ in the storage ring), based on a design developed in-house, with MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors), integrated circulators, and individual power supplies. Although quite innovative and challenging for the required power range, this technology is very attractive and presents significant advantages as compared to the more conventional vacuum tubes, klystrons, or inductive output tubes (IOTs). The booster and two of the storage ring power plants have been successfully commissioned and the first operational experience is quite satisfactory. The amplifiers proved to be very reliable as well as easy and flexible in operation; they have not been responsible for any beam time loss.

Abstract: The 352 MHz RF accelerating systems for the SOLEIL Booster (BO) and Storage Ring (SR) are in operation since mid 2006. In the BO, a 5-cell copper cavity of the CERN-LEP type is powered with a 35 kW solid state amplifier. In the SR, the required RF accelerating voltage (up to 4.4 MV) and power (560 kW at full beam current of 500 mA) will be provided by two cryomodules, each containing a pair of superconducting cavities, specifically designed for SOLEIL. The parasitic impedances of the high order modes are strongly attenuated by means of four coaxial couplers, located on the tube connecting the two cavities. The first cryomodule is operational, while the second one, which is being constructed by ACCEL (Germany), will be implemented beginning of 2008. Both cryomodules are cooled down to 4.2 K with liquid helium from a single 350 W liquefier and each cavity is powered by a 180 kW solid state amplifier. Using a single cryomodule and two amplifiers, the first objective of storing 300 mA stable beam was successfully achieved in 2006. The RF system commissioning and operation results are reported.

Abstract: In the SOLEIL storage ring (SR), two cryomodules, each containing a pair of superconducting cavities will provide the maximum power of 600 kW, required at the nominal energy of 2.75 GeV with the full beam current of 500 mA and all the insertion devices. Each of the four cavities will be powered with a 190 kW solid state amplifier consisting in a combination of 315 W elementary modules (about 700 modules per amplifier). The amplifier modules, based on a technology developed in house, with MOSFET transistor, integrated circulator and individual power supply, are being fabricated in the industry. In the Booster (BO), a 35 kW solid state amplifier (147 modules) will power a 5-cell copper cavity of the LEP type. The first operational results and the status of the RF power plants are reported in this paper. Although quite innovative for the required power range, the solid state technology proved to be very attractive with significant advantages as compared to vacuum tubes.

124. Fractional genomic alteration detected by array-based comparative genomic hybridization independently predicts survival after hepatic resection for metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract: Purpose: Although liver resection is the primary curative therapy for patients with colorectal hepatic metastases, most patients have a recurrence. Identification of molecular markers that predict patients at highest risk for recurrence may help to target further therapy. Experimental Design: Array-based comparative genomic hybridization was used to investigate the association of DNA copy number alterations with outcome in patients with colorectal liver metastasis resected with curative intent. DNA from 50 liver metastases was labeled and hybridized onto an array consisting of 2,463 bacterial artificial chromosome clones covering the entire genome. The total fraction of genome altered (FGA) in the metastases and the patient's clinical risk score (CRS) were calculated to identify independent prognostic factors for survival. Results: An average of 30 ± 14% of the genome was altered in the liver metastases (14% gained and 16% lost). As expected, a lower CRS was an independent predictor of overall survival (P = 0.03). In addition, a high FGA also was an independent predictor of survival (P = 0.01). The median survival time in patients with a low CRS (score 0-2) and a high (≥20%) FGA was 38 months compared with 18 months in patients with a low CRS and a low FGA. Supervised analyses, using Prediction Analysis of Microarrays and Significance Analysis of Microarrays, identified a set of clones, predominantly located on chromosomes 7 and 20, which best predicted survival. Conclusions: Both FGA and CRS are independent predictors of survival in patients with resected hepatic colorectal cancer metastases. The greater the FGA, the more likely the patient is to survive.

Abstract: The liver is the most common site of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) and the status of this organ is an important determinant of overall survival in patients with advanced disease. Complete resection of hepatic CRC metastases can provide a long-term cure for some patients, but the majority of liver metastases are not amenable to such surgery. Furthermore, most patients after curative resection ultimately suffer from recurrence, and the majority of such failures occur in the liver. Various ablative techniques can achieve local control of tumor after incomplete resection or for palliation. Tumor ablation currently has a secondary therapeutic role, as there is no evidence that it can achieve long-term survival comparable to surgical resection. Regional chemotherapy delivers tumoricidal agents in a selective fashion, minimizing systemic toxicity and damage to normal liver cells. Chemotherapy agents delivered through the hepatic artery can extend time to liver recurrence after curative resection and may prolong survival both in the adjuvant setting and when given to patients with unresectable disease. Molecular-based therapies, such as gene delivery and oncolytic viruses, provide promise for curative outcomes in patients with advanced disease.

Abstract: From a sample of about 75000 tau decays measured in the ALEPH detector, 1-prong charged kaon decays are identified by the dE/dx measurement in the central detector. The resulting branching ratios for the inclusive and exclusive modes are: B(tau --> nu(tau)K- greater-than-or-equal-to 0pi0 greater-than-or-equal-to 0K0) = (1.60 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.12)%, B(tau --> nu(tau)K-) = (0.64 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.05)%, B(tau --> nu(tau)K-pi0) = (0.53 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.07)% and B(tau --> nu(tau)K-pi0pi0) = (0.04 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.02)%. Exclusive modes are corrected for measured K(L)0 production. The rate for tau --> nu(tau)K- agrees well with the prediction based on tau - mu universality.

Abstract: Using data collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP correlations between the decay products of the τ+ and τ- produced in the decay of the Z have been measured. The measurements performed in the decays τ-->πν and τ-->ϱν place limits on deviations from the Standard Model. These are given by the parameter ζ with ζ = -1 for the Standard Model. The measured values are ζπ = -0.95 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.05 and ζϱ = -1.03 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.05. For models which predict ζπ = ζϱ = ζ - interpreted as the average τ neutrino helicity - the measurement is ζ = -0.99 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.04.

Abstract: B 0 B 0 oscillation is studied using almost a million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH experiment at LEP. Events are selected with two leptons present, on opposite sides of the event and with high transverse momentum. The leptons are expected to be dominantly from b decays; a topological vertexing technique is applied to measure the decay length of the b hadrons, and their momentum is determined using an energy-flow method. The fraction of events in which the leptons have the same charge is studied as a function of the measured decay time, and clear evidence is seen for the time-dependent nature of B d 0 B d 0 mixing. The frequency measured for the oscillation corresponds to a mass difference for the B d 0 mass eigenstates Δm d = (3.3 −0.4 +0.5 ± 0.7) × 10 −4 eV/ c 2 . Allowing a second frequency component for the B s 0 a high value for Δm s is favoured, leading to the limit Δm s > 12 × 10 −4 eV/ c 2 (95% CL), from which ( Δm / Γ ) s > 2.0 is derived.

Abstract: Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer death. Worldwide, more than half a million new cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed each year [1]. In China, HCC is the second leading cause of cancer mortality, accounting for approximately 137,500 annual deaths [2]. Despite an increase in surveillance programs, curative resection remains possible in only a minority of patients. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States [3]. Of the estimated 146,940 patients with newly diagnosed CRC in 2004, approximately half will develop either synchronous or metachronous liver metastases [4]. Although the liver is the most common site of metastatic disease, less than 20% of these lesions are suitable for complete surgical resection. Reports of the natural history of CRC have demonstrated that liver metastases are the most important determinant of overall survival [5]. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) account for less than 5% of gastrointestinal cancers. Islet cell and carcinoid tumors are often slow growing and asymptomatic in early stages of the disease. Consequently, at the time of diagnosis, most patients have advanced disease with hepatic metastases. Functional NETs release peptide hormones and vasoactive amines, which can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, flushing, bronchoconstriction, altered glucose metabolism, and ulcer syndromes. Although medications can provide some relief, these symptoms often become debilitating in advanced stages of the disease. Although most of these hepatic NET metastases are incurable by resection, debulking and ablative methods can improve the quality of life for many patients by attenuating their symptoms and may prolong survival [6].

Abstract: The strong coupling constant is determined from the leptonic branching ratios, the lifetime, and the invariant mass distribution of the hadronic final state of the tau lepton, using data accumulated at LEP with the ALEPH detector. The strong coupling constant measurement, alpha(s), (m(tau)2) = 0.330 +/-0.046, evolved to the Z mass, yields alpha(s)(M(Z)2) = 0. 1 18 +/- 0.005. The error includes experimental and theoretical uncertainties, the latter evaluated in the framework of the Shifman, Vainshtein and Zakharov (SVZ) approach. The method allows the non-perturbative contribution to the hadronic decay rate to be determined to be 0.3 +/- 0.5% .

Abstract: The lifetimes of the B 0 and B − mesons have been measured with the ALEPH detector at LEP. Semileptonic decays of B 0 and B − mesons were partially reconstructed by identifying events containing a lepton with an associated D ∗+ or D 0 meson. The proper time of the B meson was estimated from the measured decay length and the momentum and mass of the D -lepton system. A fit to the proper time of 77 D ∗+ l − and 77 D 0 l − candidates, combined with a constraint on the lifetime ratio ( τ − τ 0 ) arising from the relative rates of observed D ∗+ l − and D 0 l − events, yielded the following lifetimes: τ 0 =1.52 −0.18 +0.20 ( stat. ) −0.13 +0.07 ( syst. ) ps , τ − = 1.47 −0.19 +0.22 ( stat. ) −0.14 +0.15 ( syst. ) ps , τ − τ 0 = 0.96 −0.15 +0.19 ( stat. ) −0.12 +0.18 ( syst. ) .

Abstract: The branching fraction of Z --> bb relative to all hadronic decays of the Z has been measured using event shape variables to preferentially select Z --> bb events. The method chosen applies a combination of shape discriminators and the selection of high transverse momentum leptons to event hemispheres. From a sample of 440 000 hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the ration Γbb/Γhad = 0.228+/-0.005(stat.)+/-0.005(syst.) is measured.

Abstract: Incomplete or sparse information contributes to high levels of risk for oil exploration and development. To more accurately and consistently predict drilling risk, a degree of automation of data analysis may be helpful. "expert systems" developed and used in several disciplines and industries, have demonstrated beneficial results in modeling the decision making process of human experts. A state-of-the-art "expert" exploration tool using computerized multidisciplinary databases, expert developed "rules", and regional data maps -generated using artificial neural networks, has been developed. The system employs a web interface for users to select prospect(s) of interest and to allow data review or addition, and includes security to maintain the sanctity of proprietary information. Two types of rules are applied to the data. Heuristic rules are generated directly from engineering, geophysical and geological databases. Expert rules are developed through interviews with successful prospectors. Rules are applied in four categories: Regional Indications, Trap Assessment, Formation Assessment, and Oil Price. Some users may elect to not factor in certain aspects, or to use their own values. Each of the sub systems assigns a numerical score based on the answers to individual "expert" questions. Results are then combined to form an overall risk assessment associated with the selected prospect(s). These scores can be derived from "crisp" mathematical computations, "fuzzy" analysis, or a combination of the two. This expert system can help companies of all sizes, to more efficiently evaluate prospect quality, and thus more rapidly eliminate poor prospects and generate new production from favorable prospects. The initial system has been initially tuned for the Brushy Canyon formation, Delaware basin, New Mexico.

Abstract: Results on B 0 − B 0 mixing in e + e − annihilation at LEP are reported. A new method is used, where the charge of one b quark is tagged by a high- p , high- p ⊥ electron or muon, and the charge of the other is extracted from the momentum-weighted average of the charges of jet fragments. Based on the analysis of 180 000 hadronic Z decays produced in the ALEPH detector, ⨍ d χ d +0.72⨍ s χ s =0.113±0.018( stat. )±0.027( syst. ) is obtained. Combining this result with the ALEPH dipleton measurement yields χ =0.129±0.022.

Abstract: A search for events of the type e + e − →l + l − X 0 , where X 0 can be any weakly interacting particle which couples to the Z, has been performed with the ALEPH detector at LEP, by searching for acollinear lepton pairs. Such particles can be excluded up to a mass of 7.0 GeV/c 2 for a value of the ratio of branching fractions, Br( Z →X 0 l + l − )/Br(Z→ l + l − ), greater than 2.5 × 10 −3 if the X 0 has third component of isospin, I 3 greater than 1 2 and decays to a pair of virtual gauge bosons. When this analysis is combined with the previous results of the Higgs particle searches from ALEPH, this limit can be extended to an X 0 mass of 60 GeV/c 2 .

Abstract: The production of high energy isolated photons in hadronic Z decays is measured with the ALEPH detector at LEP using a sample of 180 000 hadronic events. Such photons are mainly radiated by quarks, thus giving direct insights into the early parton showering mechanism. The observed rate is compared with a QCD calculation of final state radiation from quarks.

Abstract: The polarization of τ leptons produced in the reaction e+e−→τ+τ− at the Z resonance has been measured using the τ decay modes eνeντ, μνμντ, πντ, ϱντ, and a1ντ. The mean value obtained is Pτ = −0.152±0.045, indicating that parity is violated in the neutral current process e+e− → τ+τ−. The result corresponds to a ratio of a neutral current vector and axial vector coupling constants of the τ lepton g V τ (M 2 Z ) g A τ (M 2 Z ) = 0.076±0.023 and a value of the electroweak mixing parameter sin2θw(M2Z) = 0.2302 ± 0.0058.

Abstract: From a sample of 150 000 hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, events containing prompt leptons are used to measure the forward-backward asymmetries for the channels Z → b b and Z → c c , giving the results AFBb=0.126±0.028±0.012 and AFBc=0.064±0.039±0.030. These asymmetries correspond to the value of effective electroweak mixing angle at the Z mass sin2θW(mZ2) = 0.2262±0.0053.

Abstract: In a sample of 190 000 hadronic Z decays, three signals of charm production are observed: two from the exclusive decays D ° → K − π + and D ∗+ → D °π + → K − π + π + and one in the transverse-momentum distribution of soft hadrons relative to the nearest jet. The features of these signals are in good agreement with expectations based on the standard model and previous measurements of the branching fractions. The number of D ∗± → K ± π ± π ± per hadronic decay of the Z is measured to be (5.11±0.34) × 10 −3 , and the branching ratio B(D 0 → K − π + ) is (3.62 ± 0.34 ± 0.44)%. Charm hadronization has been studied. The average fraction of the beam energy carried by the D ∗ meson is found to be 〈 X E 〉 c = 0.504 −0.017 +0.013 ±0.008, and implications of the measurements on the pseudoscalar-to-vector production ratio of charmed mesons are discussed.

Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter presents a study of coke and deactivation over H-Beta zeolite. The nature of coke over H-Beta strongly relates to different types of reactions. The coking rate, in line with the deactivating rate during three reactions, increases in the order: toluene disproportionation, n -heptane cracking, and benzene alkylation. With the increase of H-Beta silicon/aluminum (Si/Al) ratio, the decrease of the coking rate becomes slower because the effect of the acid site decrease on coking is compensated by the increase of the space available for coking from the secondary pores. However, the decrease of deactivating rate keeps constant. The coking rate over H-Beta is higher than that over H-MOR. The deactivation rate of H-Beta is much lower than that of H-MOR because its three-dimensional interlining system without supercage is not as easy to be blocked as the pseudo-unidimensional channels of H-MOR.

Abstract: Publisher Summary Gas geochemical surveys appear inherently suitable for petroleum exploration because oil and gas fields are natural accumulations of volatile hydrocarbons. The basis for gas geochemical surveys for petroleum lies in modern concepts of petroleum genesis. Petroleum originates mainly from degradation and thermal cracking of disseminated organic matter in sedimentary rocks. Oil and gas fields are formed by the migration of the resulting liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons and their accumulation in favorable settings, termed traps. Accumulated petroleum is constantly dispersing laterally and vertically, albeit slowly, and this can lead to disappearance or destruction of the accumulation. If gas geochemical surveys are to be applied effectively, proper attention should be paid to the mode of occurrence of gases in the soil. Using available geological and geophysical data, a microseepage migration model should be developed for each survey area, and the sampling and analytical techniques should then be chosen to suit the model. Lithology soil type and surface conditions are also discussed. These play important roles in the distribution and intensity of anomalies, as the pre-discovery traverse over the Jingbian gas field demonstrates. If the entire field is not covered by the gas geochemical survey, anomalies may be missed or their shape and significance misinterpreted.

Abstract: An analysis of global event-shape variables has been carried out for the reaction e+e−→Z0→hadrons to measure the strong coupling constant αs. This study is based on 52 720 hadronic events obtained in 1989/90 with the ALEPH detector at the LEP collider at energies near the peak of the Z-resonance. In order to determine αs, second order QCD predictions modified by effects of perturbative higher orders and hadronization were fitted to the experimental distributions of event-shape variables. From a detailed analysis of the theoretical uncertainties we find that this approach is best justified for the differential two-jet rate, from which we obtain αs(MZ2) = 0.121 ± 0.002(stat.)±0.003(sys.)±0.007(theor.) using a renormalization scale ω = 1 2 M Z . The dependence of αs(MZ2) on ω is parameterized. For scales mb

Abstract: A data sample corresponding to about 100 000 hadronic Z decays collected by ALEPH at LEP has been used to search for the standard Higgs boson produced in the reaction e + e − → H 0 Z 0∗ . No indication for any signal was found, and a 95% CL lower limit on the Higgs boson mass has been set at 41.6 GeV.

Abstract: Excited neutrinos decaying into a neutrino and a photon are searched for in the ALEPH detector at LEP. No evidence is found for Z decay into vv∗ or v∗v∗ final states. Upper limits are derived on excited neutrino couplings up to excited neutrino masses close to the Z mass. Lower limits on the v∗ mass, independent of the v∗ decay modes, are deduced from the total Z width.

Abstract: Due to the severity of system-wide power outages, though their probability of occurrence is slight, regulatory authorities require that a system restoration plan be drawn up and kept up to date at all times. The power outage that affected northeastern North America in 2003 proved the need for such a requirement. The particular structure of Hydro-Quebec's power system requires the use of a highly specific system restoration procedure. The daily preparation of the system restoration plan is based on a strategy whose application requires that a restoration sequence be drawn up that uses available equipment, the electrical behavior of which has been validated using appropriate studies. Over the years, Hydro-Quebec has accumulated a sizeable pool of knowledge that brings together all the solutions already studied. System restoration planners use their know-how to find the best solution, determine whether it is appropriate, and proceed to apply it. When required, new solutions must be developed. The new RECRE software program (French acronym for “Remise En Charge du Reseau” – System Restoration) has been implemented by Hydro-Quebec in 2005. The aim of this knowledge management system is to have system restoration knowledge become a tangible, growth-oriented and enhanceable asset. The system is made up of two modules: the knowledge engineering module, whereby modeling can be done of the system restoration strategy and known solutions in a knowledge base, and the planning module, whereby system restoration plans can be drawn up based on the unavailability of power system equipment. The RECRE system can produce a validated and adequate plan in a few seconds along with all the documents required for its dissemination. The RECRE system can also analyze in a few minutes all of the situations that apply to scheduled outages for the weeks that follow or the upcoming year. This allows solution gaps to be identified in the knowledge base.
