    Notes: Abstract Background. A prospective randomized study involving gastric cancer patients was undertaken to evaluate combined adjuvant chemotherapy and the prognostic value of biologic markers. Methods. One hundred and eighty-five patients under 75 years of age who underwent a curable resection of pathologic stage II or III gastric cancer were randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy containing either: mitomycin C (MMC) plus oral 5-fluorouracil (FU) (MF), epirubicin plus oral FU (EF), or oral FU (F). Tumor tissue collected at surgery was immunohistochemically analyzed for p53 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and DNA ploidy was determined. Results. All prognostic factors were equally distributed in each arm. There was no significant difference among the groups in the 5-year overall survival. When the relationship between the biologic markers and prognosis was analyzed, the overall survival of all patients and stage III patients was poorer in those with p53 positivity, but the difference did not achieve significance. For patients with positive nodes, irrespective of the treatment regimen, p53-positivity was significantly associated with poorer prognosis (P = 0.05). In stage III patients, the survival of those with p53-positivity and DNA aneuploidy was significantly worse than that for patients with any other combination (P = 0.02). Conclusion. No survival benefit was observed with the combined chemotherapeutic regimens compared with FU alone. p53 positivity was negatively correlated to survival for node-positive and stage III patients.

    Notes: Abstract  Using DAPI-stained prometaphase chromosomes, quantitative idiograms were constructed for the T subgenome of Nicotiana tabacum (2n = 4x = 48, SSTT) and two putative candidates for its T subgenome progenitor, Nicotiana otophora and Nicotiana tomentosiformis (both have 2n = 24, TT). The large chromosomes of the three karyotypes could be identified from the distributional pattern of the DAPI signal. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 5S rDNA gave not only good cytogenetical landmarks for identification of small chromosomes of the karyotypes but also phylogenetical information. In all three idiograms, 5S rDNA was localized in the proximal region of the long arm of a small submetacentric pair, but an additional 5S rDNA locus was detected terminally on the short arm of a small metacentric pair in N. otophora. The 18S rDNA locus detected here corresponded to satellite regions in all three karyotypes. Two satellited pairs in N. otophora and one satellited pair in N. tomentosiformis had single large subterminal DAPI blocks and two interstitial DAPI bands on their long arms, respectively. For the T subgenome component of N. tabacum, the single intense DAPI band was depicted on the center of the long arm of a satellited pair in the idiogram, although two interstitial bands were often detected on the long arm of the satellited pair in some spreads. Therefore, it was suggested that the T component of N. tabacum was more similar to that of N. tomentosiformis than N. otophora, especially in respect of the number and location of rDNA and the distributional patterns of DAPI signals.
