Outcome of medium-dose VP-16/CY/TBI superior to CY/TBI as a conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation in adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Full text linkThe choice of conditioning regimen before allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is important. We retrospectively compared outcomes of medium-dose VP-16/cyclophosphamide/total body irradiation (VP/CY/TBI) regimen and CY/TBI. Five hundred and twenty-nine patients (VP/CY/TBI: n = 35, CY/TBI: n = 494) who met all of the following criteria were compared: first time for SCT, aged 15-59 years; first or second complete remission at SCT; bone marrow or peripheral blood as stem cell source; and HLA phenotypically matched donor. Median age of the patients was 34 years, and patients who received VP/CY/TBI were younger (28 years vs. 34 years, P = 0.02). Cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were higher for patients who received CY/TBI (P = 0.01 for relapse, P < 0.01 for NRM). After a median follow-up period of 36.9 months, 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 82.2% in the VP/CY/TBI group and 55.2% in the CY/TBI group. OS, and disease-free survival (DFS) in the VP/CY/TBI group were shown to be significantly better by multivariate analysis [hazard ratio: 0.21 (95% confidence interval: 0.06-0.49) for DFS, hazard ratio: 0.25 (95% confidence interval: 0.08-0.59) for OS]. VP/CY/TBI was associated with a lower relapse rate and no increase in NRM, resulting in better survival than that in CY/TBI for adult ALL patients

No full textA Recessive Lethal Gene, l-Cy, concealed in the Second Chromosome Balancer of Drosophila Melanogaster
Full text linkThe second chromosome balancer, SM 5[In(2(LR)SM 5)]Cy, has been used as a most useful tool to study the genetic variations in natural populations of Drosophila. melanogaster. The balancer suppresses recombination in almost whole region of the second chromosome since it has complicated inversions both in the right and left arms. It is lethal in the homozygous condition and it also has a dominant mutant, Cy, and several recessive mutations.Homozygous lethality has been explained by the presence of In(2 LR) or Cy itself. However, the cause of lethality is not necessarily clear. Recently, the author has found a recessive lethal gene in a natural population, which is allelic to these balancer chromosomes. In this short communication the author reports that the lethality of SM 5 chromosome in the homozygous condition is due to a recessive lethal gene, l-Cy (lethal Cy)
A Poetics of becoming: the mythography of Cy Twombly
No full textA Poetics of Becoming: The Mythography of Cy Twombly, centres upon Proteus, a painting made by the artist Cy Twombly in 1984. The chapter uses this particular work as a means of unpacking the artist's complex and manifold relationship with mythology. With regards to both the facture and the matiere of Proteus, the author argues that the visual poetics of the artist's work results from what is claimed to be the painting's "becoming
Financial Restraints in the South Korean Miracle
Full text linkWe provide novel empirical evidence on the effects of financial restraints on South Korean financial development. The evidence is linked to a simple model of the Korean banking system that encapsulates its cartelised nature, which predicts a positive association between financial development and (i) the degree of state control over the banking system, (ii) mild repression of lending rates. The model also predicts that in the presence of lending rate controls, increases in the level of the administered deposit rate are unlikely to influence financial deepening. We test the model empirically by constructing individual and summary measures of financial restraints. Our empirical findings are consistent with our theoretical predictions but contrast sharply with the predictions of earlier literature that postulates that interest rate ceilings and other financial restraints constitute sources of ‘financial repression’.Financial deepening; financial restraints

The aspect of racial identity being investigated focuses on individual’s perception of acceptance into various social networks on the University of Illinois campus. The author seeks to answer the following questions: How do people define their identity? How does appearance, nationality, ethnicity, and environment affect identity? Why do some CY students socialize only with the CY social networks while other CY students extend into main stream American social networks? How does economics factor into racial identity and does the “Push-Pull theory of migration” influence identity?Made available in DSpace on 2008-06-04T19:31:37Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1
