Abstract Background To determine whether 18F‐PET/CT is able to identify treatment response as early as 1 week after the end of chemoradiotherapy, whether 18F‐PET/CT can identify prognostic markers concerning progression free survival and can identify patients who need additional consolidation therapy. Methods A total of 54 patients with head and neck cancer were prospectively enrolled in this single‐center, randomized study from 03/2012‐04/2015. Patients underwent FDG‐PET/CT imaging at...

BoothAbstractEstrogens are believed to enhance rodent voluntary wheel-running through medial preoptic (mPOA) estrogen receptor α (ERα) signaling, with little role attributed to estrogen receptor β (ERβ). Systemic ERβ activation has been shown to mitigate ERα driven increases in wheel-running. Therefore, the present goal was to determine whether...

Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly malignant bone tumor and the prognosis for non‐responders to chemotherapy remains poor. Previous studies have revealed that human sarcomas contain sarcoma‐initiating cells (SICs), which have the characteristics of high tumorigenesis and resistance to chemotherapy. In the present study, we characterized SICs of a novel OS cell line, screened for SICs‐related genes, and tried to regulate the proliferation of OS by metabolic interference. Initially, we established...

Abstract Late life disability is a highly devastating condition affecting 20% or more of persons aged 65 years and older in the USA; it is an important determinant of acute medical and long-term care costs which represent a growing burden on national economies. Disability is a multifactorial trait that contributes substantially to decline of health/wellbeing. Accordingly, gaining insights into the genetics of disability could help in identifying molecular mechanisms of this devastating...
Abstract Chronological age is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality; however, it is unable to account for heterogeneity in the decline of physiological function and health with advancing age. Several attempts have been made to instead define a “biological age” using multiple physiological parameters in order to account for variation in the trajectory of human aging; however, these methods require technical expertise and are likely too time-intensive and costly to be...
