The behavioral response of the individuals intimately involved with the initiation of the fire or those who aware of the initial fire cue, often appeared to be a determinant to the outcome of the fire incident, the nonadaptive flight or panic type behavioral response appears to be an infrequent, unusual or unique participant behavioral response in most fire incidents. Therefore, this study focused on the investigation of the individual behavioral responses depend on the distinction of sex and age.

The adaptive response and cross-adaptive response to sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K$_1$ cells treated with ultraviolet radiation (UV), ethyl methanesuffonate (EMS), or bleomycin (BLM) were investigated. Two assays were used in this study; SCEs and alkaline elution. The pretreatment with low conditioning dose of 2 mM EMS or 1 J/m$^2$ UV decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 8 mM EMS, 5 J/m$^2$ UV or 5 $\mu$g/ml BLM. And the pretreatment with low conditioning dose of 1 $\mu$g/ml BLM decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 5 $\mu$g/ml BLM or 5 J/m$^2$ UV. The rejoining of DNA SSBs in cells subsequently treated with 2 J/m$^2$ UV, 50 mM EMS or 400 $\mu$g/ml BLM is higher than that only treated with 2 J/m$^2$ UV, 50 mM EMS or 400 $\mu$g/ml BLM. These results suggest that there are the adaptive response and cross-adaptive response to SCEs, and is the adaptive response to the rejoining of DNA SSBs in CHO cells.

The influence of debrisoquine on pressor actions of norepinephrine (NE) and tyramine (TR) was investigated in rabbits. Debrisquine(D), in the doses of 1.0, 3.0 and 6.0.mu.g/kg, i.v. potentiated significantly the pressor actions of NE and TR, except the action of TR in the dose of 1.0mg/kg of debrisoquine. NE response potentiated by debrisoquine was not affected by tranylcypromine, a MAO inhabiter, or desipramine, a NE uptake blocking agent, but augmented by reserpine, a NE depleting agent, or bethanidine, a sympathetic neuronal blocking agent. NE response potentiated by tranylcypromine or desipramine was augmented by debrisoquine, while NE response potentiated by reserine or bethanidine was not affected by debrisoquine. TR response potentiated by debrisoquine was weakened by tranylcypromine, desipramine or reserpine, and not affected by bethanidine. TR response in rabbit pretreated with tranylcypromine, desipramine or reserpine was augmented by debrisoquine, but in rabbit pretreated with bethanidine was not affected by debrisoquine.

Sexual behavior is crucial in life, yet comparatively little is known about the mechanisms in the sexual response in humans. A lot of theories and models have been developed to explain about the process of the sexual response in humans. The first model of sexual function was described by Masters and Johnson, defined the four-phase model (phases of excitation, plateau, orgasm and resolution). Helen Kaplan proposed a slightly different model of human sexual response by adding the conception of the desire phase. Some years later, a new model of circular sexual response pattern was described by Whipple and Brash-McGreer, who acknowledged the cyclic nature of women's sexual response. Basson presented an alternative model of women's normative sexual function, which featured a responsive form of desire in women's sexual response. Bancroft developed a new theoretical model, the Dual Control Model, which postulates sexual response and arousal is ultimately determined by the balance between the sexual activation or excitation system and the sexual inhibition system. The Sexual Tipping Point is a model created by Perelman, suggesting that a sexual response is determined by a balance between excitatory or inhibitory factors that may be psychological, organic, psychosocial, or cultural. A comprehensive understanding of sexual response and function is of paramount importance for the psychiatrist to study sex, offer counseling to the patient on sex, and practice sex therapy. In this literature, models of sexual response would be reviewed to understand the knowledge of the sexual functioning in humans.

Objective: To estimate the association between ABCG2 C421A polymorphism and response to imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effect of ABCG2 C421A polymorphism on imatinib response. The databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of science, CINAHL with FullText, and Cochrane Library were searched for all published studies from inception to December 2015. The following terms were used with functions of 'AND' and 'OR': 'chronic myeloid leukemia', 'CML', 'drug transporter', 'ABCG2', 'BCRP', 'polymorphisms', 'SNPs', and 'imatinib'. The studies reporting the association between ABCG2 polymorphism and imatinib response were evaluated. Results: A total of 7 studies were included in the present meta-analysis. The pooled analysis showed that ABCG2 c.421CC genotype was significantly associated with poor response to imatinib under the dominant model (CC vs CA+AA; OR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.41, 0.77; p = 0.0004). The subgroup analysis of Asian studies demonstrated a significantly lower response in c.421CC genotype than in c.421CA or c.421AA genotype (OR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.73; p = 0.0002). In subgroup analyses of 5 studies, the patients with the c.421CC genotype exhibited higher risk for worse response than the patients with c.421CA or c.421AA genotype (heterozygote codominant model: CC vs. AC; OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.33, 0.73; p = 0.0006; homozygote codominant model: CC vs AA; OR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.25, 0.75, p = 0.003). Conclusion: The ABCG2 c.421CC genotype was significantly associated with poor response to imatinib compared to the c.421CA and c.421AA genotypes in chronic myeloid leukemia, especially in Asian patients.

This study was undertaken to assess the effect of sound stress on humoral and cellular immune responses to thymus-dependent and independent antigens in mice. After mice were exposed to 4 hr daily sound stessors(83㏈) for 4 days before or after immunization, the primary and / or secondary immune response to sheep red blood cells(SRBC), polyvinylpyrroridone(PVP) or picry1 chloride(TNCB) were assayed. When mice were exposed to sound stressor before or after immunization, delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and contact sensitivity to TNCB was remarkably depressed compared with those of the unstressed control mice. However, the primary and secondary hemagglutinin response of the stresed mice to SRBC showed a pronounced increase compared with that of the unstressed mice, In contrast to antibody response to SRBC, the primary antibody response of the stressed mic to PVP was almost not detected. surprisingly, the secondary antibody response to PVP of the mice receiving the secondary sound stress was markedly increased when the immune-depressed mice received the secondary immunization with PVP at 46 days after the primary immunization. The susceptibility of mice to intraven-oulsy infected Candida albicans was not changed by the sound stress.

This study was done to compare thresholds between those of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) with clicks or tonebursts and Multiple Auditory Steady-State Response (MASTER). The results would give a promising tool for evaluating frequency-specific hearing sensitivity in infants or young children. The correlation coefficient value between the click ABR thresholds and MASTER thresholds at carrier frequencies, 500, 1,000, 2,000 Hz, and 4,000 Hz was obtained at Pearson 0.91, 0.94, 0.93, and 0.91.

Background: Functional single nucleotide polymorphisms of x-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1) have been suspected to contribute to uterine cervical cancer risk for a long time; however, most previous case-control studies were small sized and biased. Additionally, recent studies suggested that XRCC1 polymorphisms could be a biomarker of response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted to retrieve eligible studies and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to measure association strength. Results: A total of 13 studies were identified and analyzed. We found that the Arg194Trp polymorphism (Trp vs. Arg, OR=1.342, 95% CI: 1.176) was associated with increased risk of cervical cancer, while no significant association was found with Arg280His (His vs. Arg, OR=1.059, 95% CI: 0.863, 1.299) or Arg399Gln (Gln vs. Arg, OR=1.144, 95% CI: 0.938, 1.394). As for response to platinum-based chemotherapy, the variant XRCC1 399Gln allele (Gln vs. Arg, OR=0.345, 95% CI: 0.163, 0.729) was linked with a poor response; however, the Arg194Trp polymorphism (TrpArg vs. ArgArg, OR=6.421, 95% CI: 1.573, 26.205) predicted a good response. Conclusion: The Arg194Trp polymorphism of XRCC1 increases risk of cervical cancer; the variant 399Gln allele predicts poor response to platinum-based chemotherapy, while the Arg194Trp polymorphism indicates a good response.

A growing number of studies have demonstrated that ABCB1 gene polymorphisms are associated with the variability of responses to imatinib. However, the effects of ABCB1 polymorphisms on imatinib response in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are inconsistent. The aim of the present study was to clarify the associations between ABCB1 polymorphisms and imatinib response in CML. A systematic literature review was performed. The databases of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for all published studies from inception to December 2015. The following terms were used with functions of 'AND' and 'OR': 'chronic myeloid leukemia', 'CML', 'ABCB1', 'MDR1', 'polymorphism', 'SNP', and 'imatinib'. Using the Review Manager 5, odds ratios (ORs) were pooled to estimate the effect of ABCB1 polymorphisms on imatinib response in CML. The pooled analysis showed that ABCB1 2677 G allele was significantly associated with poor response to imatinib in African and Asian patients (GG vs TT, OR: 0.32, p<0.0001; GG+GT vs TT, OR: 0.44, p=0.0005). In subgroup analyses, African patients carrying ABCB1 1236 C allele exhibited higher risk for worse response, whereas Asian patients with 1236 C allele showed better response (CC+CT vs TT, OR: 0.41, p=0.008 for African; OR: 1.65, p=0.03 for Asian). There was no association between C3435T polymorphisms and imatinib response in African, Asian, and Caucasian CML patients.

Assessing response to therapy allows for prospective end point evaluation in clinical trials and serves as a guide to clinicians for making decisions. Recent prospective and randomized trials suggest the development of imaging techniques and introduction of new anti-cancer drugs. However, the revision of methods, or proposal of new methods to evaluate chemotherapeutic response, is not enough. This paper discusses the characteristics of the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor (RECIST) version 1.1 suggested in 2009 and used widely by experts. It also contains information about possible dilemmas arising from the application of response assessment by the latest version of the response evaluation method, or recently introduced chemotherapeutic agents. Further data reveals the problems and limitations caused by applying the existing RECIST criteria to anti-cancer immune therapy, and the application of a new technique, immune related response criteria, for the response assessment of immune therapy. Lastly, the paper includes a newly developing response evaluation method and suggests its developmental direction.
