Management of isolated recurrence after surgery for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Recurrence of pancreatic cancer after primary pancreatectomy occurs in the vast majority of patients. The role of surgical treatment for recurrent pancreatic cancer is not well established. METHODS: Patients who underwent primary pancreatectomy with curative intent from 2000 to 2014 at a single large-volume centre were evaluated retrospectively. CT or PET was used to select patients with an isolated recurrence. The clinicopathological features and survival outcomes were compared according to treatment modalities. RESULTS: Of the 1610 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent resection, 1346 (83·6 per cent) were diagnosed with recurrent pancreatic cancer. Recurrence was locoregional in 366 patients (27·2 per cent), distant multifocal in 251 (18·6 per cent), distant isolated in 188 (14·0 per cent), locoregional plus distant in 153 (11·4 per cent) and peritoneal seeding in 388 (28·8 per cent). Of the 1346 patients with recurrence, 197 (14·6 per cent) had isolated recurrence; of these, 48 (24·4 per cent of all isolated recurrences; 3·6 per cent of all recurrences) underwent resection. Median survival of the 197 patients after diagnosis of isolated recurrence was 14·7 months; it was longer in patients who underwent surgical resection than among those treated non-surgically (23·5 versus 12·0 months; P = 0·014). Multivariable analysis showed that chemotherapy and resection for recurrence were associated with better prognosis. Median survival after recurrence was longest in the 23 patients with isolated pulmonary recurrence (33·3 months). Survival after recurrence was better in patients who underwent resection of isolated recurrence in the remnant pancreas (median 28·0 versus 12·0 months, P = 0·010) and lung (median 36·5 versus 9·5 months; P = 0·010) than in those who did not undergo resection. CONCLUSION: Surgical resection may be considered an option for treatment of patients with isolated recurrent pancreatic cancer.

Monitoring rate and predictability of intraoperative monitoring in patients with intradural extramedullary and epidural metastatic spinal tumors.

STUDY DESIGN: Single-center retrospective study. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the monitoring rate, sensitivity and specificity of intraoperative monitoring (IOM) during removal of intradural extramedullary (IDEM) or epidural metastatic spinal tumors. Also, to assess the efficacy of monitoring somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEP) when motor-evoked potentials (MEP) are not measurable. SETTING: The Neuro-Oncology Clinic, National Cancer Center, Korea. METHODS: Patients (n=101) with IDEM or epidural metastatic spinal tumors at the cord level underwent surgeries monitored with SSEP and/or MEP. The monitoring rate was defined as negative when MEP or SSEP could not be measured after reversal of the neuromuscular block under general anesthesia. Positive IOM changes included more than a 50% change in the MEP or SSEP amplitude and more than a 10% delay in SSEP latency. RESULTS: MEP was measurable in 73% of patients. The MEP monitoring rate in patients with motor power grades of 3 or less was 39%, which was lower than that of SSEP (83%). The sensitivity, specificity and predictability of MEP for motor changes were 93, 90 and 91%, respectively. Conversely, the sensitivity, specificity and predictability of SSEP were 62, 97 and 89%, respectively. In patients in whom MEP was not measurable (n=24), SSEP was monitored with a predictability of 83%. CONCLUSION: In cases of extramedullary spinal tumors, MEP shows a higher sensitivity than SSEP does. However, the monitoring rate of MEP in non-ambulatory patients was lower than that of SSEP. In those cases, SSEP can be useful to monitor for postoperative neurological deficits.

Effect of smoking status on progression-free and overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving erlotinib or gefitinib: a meta-analysis.

WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) such as erlotinib or gefitinib are indicated for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR tyrosine kinase domain mutations have been reported to be associated with EGFR-TKI response in patients with NSCLC. Certain patient subgroups in which EGFR somatic mutations are more frequently observed are thought to derive more clinical benefit from EGFR-TKI therapy. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the evidence regarding the association of smoking status with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with NSCLC receiving EGFR-TKI therapy with erlotinib or gefitinib. METHODS: Eligible studies were selected by two independent reviewers using the inclusion and exclusion criteria predefined in the protocol. Eligible studies included those evaluating the association of smoking status with OS and PFS in patients with NSCLC receiving erlotinib or gefitinib. Non-clinical studies, case reports, non-peer-reviewed abstracts and non-relevant studies were excluded. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Data on OS and PFS in patients with NSCLC treated with EGFR-TKIs were available in nine and ten trials, respectively. The OS and PFS from both the treatment and control groups were not significantly different between never smokers and former or current smokers (OS: odds ratio [OR], 0·80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0·63-1·09; PFS: OR, 0·75; 95% CI, 0·49-1·14), respectively. However, in comparison within each smoking group, EGFR-TKI treatment led to more favourable OS and PFS in never smokers (OS: OR, 0·55; 95% CI, 0·42-0·73; PFS: OR, 0·43; 95% CI, 0·33-0·54), compared with former or current smokers (OS: OR, 0·89; 95% CI, 0·80-0·97; PFS: OR, 0·73; 95% CI, 0·62-0·85). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: Among patients with NSCLC receiving EGFR-TKI therapy with erlotinib or gefitinib, never smokers appear to show longer OS and PFS as compared to former or current smokers. However, this is based on indirect comparisons and more robust larger head-to-head trials are required for more robust inferences.

Longitudinal split of the posterior cruciate ligament: description of a new MR finding and evaluation of its potential clinical significance.

AIM: To evaluate the clinical significance of the intra-substance longitudinal split of the posterior cruciate ligament (LS-PCL) and to evaluate its potential clinical significance on MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The databases of two centres were searched for LS-PCL, 6917 knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations undertaken were retrospectively reviewed. LS-PCL was defined as increased signal intensity in a PCL in the longitudinal direction, but with an intact ligament outer surface on MRI. Twelve patients were enrolled in this study. Available arthroscopic results, degree of posterior knee instability, and changes in MRI findings, or the degree of instability during follow-up (FU), were reviewed from the patients medical records and via their MRI images. MRI images were reviewed by two musculoskeletal radiologists in consensus for presence and location of LS-PCL and any combined injuries: menisci lesions, ligament injuries, and bone marrow changes. RESULTS: Seven of 12 patients (58.3%) had morphological or functional evidence of PCL injury or insufficiency according to the change of posterior instability on FU stress testing (n=3), insufficiency during arthroscopy (n=2), or decreased extent and altered shape of the PCL split on the FU MRI (n=3). One patient revealed both change of posterior instability on FU stress testing and insufficiency during arthroscopy. Combined injuries were revealed in seven patients. Five patients had isolated LS-PCL: two patients underwent arthroscopic PCL reconstructions; and another three patients revealed knee instability on stress testing. CONCLUSION: Although LS-PCL has not been described before, it can be a type of partial tear of the PCL, which causes PCL insufficiency.

Secular trends in adult male smoking from 1992 to 2006 in South Korea: age-specific changes with evolving tobacco-control policies.

OBJECTIVES: For years, South Korea has had one of the highest levels of tobacco use among males in the world, but a steady decline has been observed recently. This study examined how the smoking behaviour of male adults changed with age after the implementation of national tobacco control policies in 1995. STUDY DESIGN: Repeated cross-sectional study using a national survey. METHODS: Data were obtained from the 1992, 1995, 1999, 2003 and 2006 results of a repeated cross-sectional survey, the Social Statistics Survey. The smoking status of adult men was compared before (1992 and 1995 surveys) and after (1999, 2003 and 2006 surveys) the implementation of government-directed tobacco control policies using graphical methods and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: After the implementation of tobacco control policies, the percentage of current male smokers decreased while the percentage of former smokers increased markedly. Smoking prevalence among older men (aged 50 years or more) reduced initially, and this decline was more pronounced after the tobacco control policies were implemented. Smoking prevalence in younger men (aged 30-49 years) declined in 2003 when more comprehensive tobacco control policies were implemented. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that comprehensive tobacco control policies in South Korea reduced smoking prevalence among males, initially among older men and later among both older men and younger men.

Which oblique plane is more helpful in diagnosing an anterior cruciate ligament tear?

AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic role of additional oblique coronal and oblique sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 101 patients who had undergone preoperative knee MRI examinations with orthogonal and two sets of oblique images were enrolled in the study. Two radiologists evaluated the MRI images by the use of four methods: orthogonal images only (method A); orthogonal and additional oblique coronal images (method B); orthogonal and oblique sagittal images (method C); and orthogonal images with oblique coronal and sagittal images (method D). The status of the ACL (normal or tear) was determined by consensus. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for an ACL tear with the use of each method were calculated in comparison with arthroscopy as the reference standard, and values were statistically analysed using the McNemar test. The diagnostic accuracies were compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS: Arthroscopy identified 10 partial ACL tears and 30 complete ACL tears. The specificities and accuracies for methods B, C, and D were significantly higher than the specificities and accuracies for method A (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for methods B, C, and D. Diagnostic ability was not significantly different for each method, as determined by ROC analysis (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Additional oblique imaging for an ACL tear improved the specificity. Either of the oblique imaging methods is sufficient, and no further improvement in the diagnostic efficacy was achieved by simultaneous use.

In vitro cytotoxicity of Mokko lactone in human leukemia HL-60 cells: induction of apoptotic cell death by mitochondrial membrane potential collapse.

We studied the effect of mokko lactone (ML) isolated from the roots of Saussurea lappa (Compositae), a plant that is used for medicinal purposes in Korea, on the induction of apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells. ML was cytotoxic to HL-60 cells, and this cytotoxic effect of ML appears to be attributable to its induction of apoptotic cell death, as ML induced nuclear morphologic changes and internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and increased the proportion of Annexin V-positive cells and the activity of caspase-3. Further studies revealed that the induction of apoptosis by ML was associated with the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. Collectively, our results suggest that apoptosis induced by ML in HL-60 cells was executed by a collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential followed by the activation of caspase-3. This is the first report on the mechanism of apoptosis-inducing effect of ML.

Dehydrocostus lactone enhances tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced apoptosis of human leukemia HL-60 cells.

Sesquiterpene lactones have raised considerable interest because of their ability to block the activation of nuclear transcription factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). NF-kappaB plays an important role in the resistance of cancer cells to the induction of apoptosis by anticancer drugs and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Pharmacological inhibition of NF-kappaB offers the promise of enhancing the efficacy of anticancer therapies. Here, we demonstrate that dehydrocostus lactone (DL), the major sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the roots of Saussurea lappa, inhibits NF-kappaB activation by preventing TNF-alpha-induced degradation and phosphorylation of its inhibitory protein I-kappaB alpha in human leukemia HL-60 cells and that DL renders HL-60 cells susceptible to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis by enhancing caspase-8 and caspase-3 activities.

Effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetics of intravenous phenytoin in rats with protein-calorie malnutrition.

The effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetics of phenytoin and one of its metabolites, 5-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenylhydantoin (pHPPH) were investigated after intravenous administration of phenytoin, 25 mg/kg, to control rats (4-week fed on 23% casein diet) and rats with PCM (protein-calorie malnutrition, 4-week fed on 5% casein diet) and PCMC (PCM with oral cysteine supplementation, 250 mg/kg, twice daily starting from the fourth week). In rats with PCM and PCMC, the phenytoin hydroxylation (to form pHPPH) activities were significantly smaller (164, 103 and 95.3 pmol/min per mg protein for the control rats, and rats with PCM and PCMC, respectively) than that in control rats. In rats with PCMC, the intrinsic clearance of phenytoin, CL(int) was significantly slower than those in control rats and rats with PCM (0.175, 0.131 and 0.044 ml/min). The above data suggested that the formation of pHPPH could be reduced in rats with PCM and PCMC. This was supported by significantly smaller 24-h urinary excretion of pHPPH (54.7, 35.6 and 32.5% of intravenous dose of phenytoin) in rats with PCM and PCMC than that in control rats. In rats with PCM, the maximum velocity (0.344, 0.203 and 0.196 microg/min), apparent volume of distribution in central compartment (44.4, 65.4 and 72.2 ml/kg) of phenytoin, and total area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (609, 714 and 1210 microg min/ml), renal clearance (20.5, 13.4 and 4.67 ml/min per kg) and 24-h urinary excretion (54.7, 35.6 and 32.5% of intravenous dose of phenytoin) of pHPPH were not returned to control levels by cysteine supplementation (rats with PCMC). This could be mainly due to the fact that the phenytoin hydroxylation activity in rats with PCMC was not returned to control level.

Cerebellopontine angle ganglioglioma: MR findings.

We present a case of cerebellopontine (CP) angle ganglioglioma in a young child with developmental delay and no trigeminal nerve symptoms. MR imaging demonstrated a mass of homogeneous low signal intensity in the left CP angle on T1-weighted images with no enhancement with gadolinium, and of relatively homogeneous high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.

Effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous and oral azosemide in rats with protein-calorie malnutrition.

The effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of azosemide were investigated after intravenous (10 mg/kg) and oral (20 mg/kg) administration to male Sprague-Dawley rats fed on 23% protein diet (control rats), and 5% protein diet with (rats with PCMC) or without (rats with PCM) oral cysteine (250 mg/kg, twice daily for the fourth week) for 4 weeks. After intravenous administration to rats with PCMC, some pharmacokinetic parameters restored fully or more than the level of control rats; the time-averaged nonrenal clearance (2.70 versus 2.32 ml/min/kg) and apparent volume of distribution at steady state (160 versus 189 ml/kg) were comparable to those in control rats, however, the terminal half-life (34.7 versus 57.2 min) and mean residence time (73.3 versus 99.3 min) were significantly shorter, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC, 1930 versus 2680 microg min/ml) was significantly smaller, and time-averaged renal (2.24 versus 1.21 ml/min/kg) and total body (CL, 4.98 versus 3.65 ml/min/kg) clearances were significantly faster than those in control rats. This could be mainly due to significantly faster renal clearance and at least partly due to increased cytochrome P450 1A2 activity by cysteine supplementation. After intravenous administration to rats with PCMC, the total amount of 8-hr urinary excretion of unchanged azosemide was significantly greater (457 versus 305 microg/g body weight), however, the 8-hr urine output (15.3 versus 31.1 ml/g kidney) was not significantly different between control rats and rats with PCMC. This could be due to the fact that urine output seemed to reach an upper plateau from 10 mg/kg dose of azosemide in rats.

No effect of cysteine on the pharmacokinetics of intravenous azosemide in rats with protein-calorie malnutrition by pretreatment with 3-methylcholanthrene.

The effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetics of azosemide were investigated after intravenous administration of drug, 10 mg/kg, to male Sprague-Dawley rats pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene fed on 23% protein diet (control rats) and 5% protein diet without (rats with protein-calorie malnutrition, PCM) or with (rats with PCMC) oral cysteine (250 mg/kg, twice daily starting from the fourth week) for 4 weeks. After intravenous administration to rats with PCM, the metabolites of azosemide excreted in urine and recovered from gastrointestinal tract decreased significantly than those in control rats, however, the plasma concentrations, total area under plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC) and time-averaged total body clearance (CL) were not significantly different between two groups of rats. It was reported that after intravenous administration of azosemide, 10 mg/kg, to rats with PCMC without pretreatment 3-methylcholanthrene, some pharmacokinetic parameters restored fully or more than the level of control rats; the time-averaged nonrenal clearance and apparent volume of distribution at steady state were comparable to those in control rats, but the terminal half-life and mean residence time were significantly shorter, AUC was significantly smaller, and time-averaged renal clearance and CL were significantly faster than those in control rats. However, the above mentioned effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetic parameters of azosemide in rats with PCM were not observed with pretreatment with 3-methylcholanthrene.

Effects of cysteine on the pharmacokinetics of intravenous adriamycin in rats with protein-calorie malnutrition.

In rats with protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM, 5% caseine diet for 4 weeks), hepatic cytochrome P450 levels suppressed markedly and cytochrome P450 mRNAs decreased significantly compared with those in control rats (23% caseine diet for 4 weeks), however, the values completely (or partially) returned to control levels by a week (from fourth week) of cysteine supplementation (rats with PCMC) (Cho, Kim et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 1999, 372: 150-158). The formation of aglycone metabolites of adriamycin and adriamycinol, M3 and M4, respectively, seemed to be induced (Lee and Lee, Res. Commun. Mol. Pathol. Pharmacol. 1999, 105: 87-96) by pretreatment with dexamethasone (possibly by hepatic cytochrome P450 RL 33/cDEX, Komori and Oda, J. Biochem. 1994, 116: 114-120) in rats. Adriamycin, 16 mg/kg, was administered intravenously in 1-min to control rats and rats with PCM and PCMC. In rats with PCM, the plasma concentrations of adriamycin was higher (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 12 hr, AUC(0-12 hr), tended to be higher) and 24-hr urinary excretion of M3 (including its 'conjugates') seemed to increase than those in control rats, suggested that the formation of M3 was inhibited in rats with PCM. In rats with PCMC, the plasma concentrations of adriamycin were lower (the AUC(0-12 hr) was significantly smaller) and 24-hr urinary excretion of M3 (including its 'conjugates') were significantly greater than those in rats with PCM, suggested that the formation of M3 increased significantly by cysteine supplementation by restoring the enzyme system(s) that metabolize adriamycin to M3. The altered pharmacokinetic parameters of adriamycin mentioned above in rats with PCM returned to greater than those of control rats after cysteine supplementation (rats with PCMC). Above data suggested that other hepatic cytochrome P450 isozyme(s) which catalyze(s) the formation of M3 from adriamycin could be induced by cysteine supplementation.

Mucous gland adenoma of the bronchus: CT findings in two patients.

Mucous gland adenoma of the bronchus is a truly benign, well defined, intraluminal mass that manifests on CT with air-meniscus sign or abutting the bronchus. We report the CT findings of mucous gland adenoma in two patients.

Echocardiographic and morphologic characteristics of left atrial myxoma and their relation to systemic embolism.

We examined the relation between the echocardiographic morphology of cardiac myxoma and systemic embolism in 25 patients. Two distinct types of myxoma could be identified by echocardiography: round type characterized by solid and round shape with nonmobile surface (n = 13, 52%), and polypoid type characterized by soft and irregular shape with mobile surface (n = 12, 48%); multiple regression analysis revealed the polypoid type of tumor was the only independent predictor of systemic embolism (p = 0.0029).

Pharmacokinetic changes of M1, M2, M3 and M4 after intravenous administration of a new anthracycline, DA-125, to rats pretreated with phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene, chloramphenicol, or SKF-525A.

The pharmacokinetics of M1-M4, the metabolites of a new anthracycline antineoplastic agent, DA-125, were compared after intravenous (i.v.) administration of DA-125, 15 mg kg-1, to rats pretreated with enzyme inducers, such as phenobarbital (PBT, n = 14) and 3-methylcholanthrene (MCT, n = 15), or enzyme inhibitors, such as SKF-525A (SKT, n = 11) and chloramphenicol (CMT, n = 15), and to their control rats (n = 15 for PBC, CMC or SKC, and n = 11 for MCC). After i.v. administration of DA-125, the plasma concentrations of both M1 and M2 declined slowly from 1 to 2 h onwards to 8 h in all groups of rats due to the continuous formation of M2 from M1. The AUC0-8 h of M1 (47.1 versus 7.85 micrograms min mL-1) and M2 (20.7 versus 44.3 micrograms min mL-1) decreased significantly in the PBT group compared to those in the PBC group. However, the corresponding value of only M1 (74.6 versus 89.9 micrograms min mL-1) decreased significantly in the MCT group. The above data indicate that metabolism of M1 is increased by pretreatment with both PB and 3-MC, and that of M2 with PB, but not with 3-MC. The AUC0-8 h of both M1 (126 versus 78.5 micrograms min mL-1) and M2 (69.2 versus 44.3 micrograms min mL-1) increased significantly in the SKT group compared to the SKC group. However, the corresponding values were not significantly different between CMC and CMT groups. The above data indicate that the metabolism of both M1 and M2 is inhibited by pretreatment with SKF-525A, but not with CM.

P53 overexpression in gastric adenocarcinoma with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Gastric carcinogenesis has been studied in various aspects. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and mutation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene have recently been argued to be important factors of gastric carcinogenesis. There have been many studies to determine the precise mechanism of how Hp is related to gastric cancer, but it is so far still unknown. We studied the relationship of Hp infection and p53 overexpression and tried to discover some significance in clinicopathologic factors such as age, sex, stage, site, differentiation and gross morphology. Ninety-six patients who were diagnosed with gastric cancer at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University Medical College from November 1995 to March 1996, and 96 control patients of non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) were studied by endoscopic biopsy of normal gastric tissue and cancer tissue. They also underwent the CLO (Delta West, Melbourne, Western Australia) test for Hp positivity and p53 immunohistochemical stain for p53 positivity. These data were analyzed for comparison with the clinicopathologic characteristics of gastric cancers. In conclusion, the differentiated group cancer had a significantly high Hp positivity and p53 positivity. There is a possibility that Hp infection and p53 tumor suppressor gene mutation might be significantly related in the gastric carcinogenic process of well- and moderately-differentiated adenocarcinomas, but further study is necessary to determine more direct clues on the carcinogenic roles of these factors.

Pharmacokinetic changes of M1, M2, M3, and M4 after intravenous administration of a new anthracycline, DA-125, to alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus rats.

The pharmacokinetics of M1, M2, M3, and M4 were compared after intravenous (i.v.) administration of DA-125, 15 mg/kg to the control (n = 15) and alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus (AIDM, n = 11) rats. After i.v. administration of DA-125, almost 'constant' plasma concentrations of M1 and M2 were maintained from 1-2 h onwards to 8-10 h in both groups of rats due to the continuous formation of M2 from M1. The plasma concentrations of M3 were the lowest among M1-M4 in the control rats due to the rapid and essentially complete conversion of M3 to M4. The AUC0-8 h of M1 (189 versus 78.5 mg min/ml) was significantly greater in the AIDM rats than that in the control rats. However, the AUCts of M2 (32.7 versus 44.3 micrograms min/ml) and M4 (not measurable versus 19.7 micrograms min/ml) were significantly smaller in the AIDM rats. The renal clearances of both M1 (0.157 versus 0.334 ml/min/kg) and M2 (0.726 versus 14.6 ml/min/kg) decreased significantly in the AIDM rats, presumably due to their impaired kidney function. The liver weight decreased significantly in the AIDM rats (2.77 versus 3.77% of body weight), suggesting impaired liver function. Above data suggested that the metabolism of M1 to M2-M4 in the liver and kidney decreased significantly in the AIDM rats. M2 was the main metabolite among M1-M4 excreted in 24 h urine in both group of rats. In the AIDM rats, the amount of M2 excreted in 24 h urine decreased significantly (15.7 versus 229 micrograms) whereas the amount of M2 recovered at 24 h from the whole GI tract increased significantly (45.1 versus 14.0 micrograms).
