- Frequent loss of heterozygosity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has been found in several chromosomal regions such as 3p, 9p, 11q, 13q and 17p. Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene is located at 3p14.2 encompassing a common fragile site, and is identified as a tumor suppressor gene. We examined 57 patients with HNSCC using immunohistochemistry, western blot, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The association between FHIT expression and clinicopathologic characteristics including p53 and Ki-67 expressions was analyzed. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed 30 patients (53%) of low FHIT expression and 27 patients (47%) of high FHIT expression. Low FHIT expression significantly correlated with high Ki-67 expression, indicating that tumor cells with low FHIT expression can proliferate aggressively. No correlation was found between FHIT expression and clinical characteristics including age, gender, tumor size, lymph node status, stage grouping, histologic grade, p53 expression, and prognosis. FHIT alteration may play an important role in cancer development of HNSCC, however it did not contribute to the prognosis. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

- The Kalpha satellite spectra arising from the correlative multielectron processes accompanying K-shell photoionization of Ca, Ti and V were measured using a broad range crystal spectrometer. Multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations were performed to interpret the observed,x-ray energies and the spectral line shape., The calculations agree fairly well with the experimental results. The variation of the KalphaL(1) satellite and the Kalpha(1,2)(h) hypersatellite intensities was measured as a function, of excitation energy in the range of 8-35 keV. The KalphaL(1)/Kalpha(1,2) intensity ratio for each,element is already saturated in our energy range, and the asymptotic values of 1.58 +/- 0.08, 1.26 +/- 0.06 and 0.97 +/- 0.05% for Ca, Ti. and V were determined. By combining the present results and the previously measured values for various elements, we have found a Z(-3.5) scaling law for the KalphaL(1)/Kalpha(1,2) intensity ratio, The measured Kalpha(1,2)(h)/Kalpha(1,2) for each element, is found to increase smoothly from its onset and shows a long saturation range extending up to at least 25 keV above the threshold for Ti. The evolution of the Kalpha(1,2)(h)/Kalpha(1,2) intensity ratio is compared with the analytic Thomas model and with the theoretical calculation based on the screened hydrogenic model.
