Subependymomas of the lateral ventricles are rare tumors. We present two patients with subependymomas of the lateral ventricle, who underwent gross total resection of the tumor via transcallosal approach. The patient, with increased Ki-67 labeling index had recurrence of tumor two years after the initial operation. We emphasize at the risk of recurrence which is probably correlated with Ki-67 l...

We have evaluated the feasibility of a cytokinetically oriented regimen based on the induction of cell recruitment by diethylstilbestrol (DES) in locally advanced human breast cancer. Tumor proliferative activity was evaluated by the thymidine labeling index and the primer-dependent a-DNA polymerase labeling index, which gives an in vitro estimation of the growth fraction. Sixteen previously un...

a graph of size n is said to be graceful when is possible toassign distinct integers from {0, 1, . . . , n} to its verticesand {|f(u)−f(v)| : uv ∈ e(g)} consists of n integers. inthis paper we present broader families of graceful graphs; these families are obtained via three different operations: the third power of a caterpillar, the symmetric product of g and k2 , and the disjoint :union: of g...

We studied the prognostic value of angiogenesis grading and microvessel density estimation in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Seventy-five patients with newly diagnosed myeloma, treated on Eastern Cooperative Oncology Protocol E9486 and Intergroup study 0141 (S9321) at the Mayo Clinic, were studied. Bone marrow microvessels were examined using immunohistochemical staining for von Willebrand f...

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G), and let A be an abelian group. A labeling f: V(G) A induces an edge labeling f"': E(G) A defined by f"'(xy) = f(x) + fey), for each edge xy e E(G). For i e A, let vt<i) = card { v e V(G) : f(v) = i} and er(i) = card ( e e E(G) : f"'(e) = i}. Let c(f) = {Iet<i) etG)1 : (i, j) e A x A}. A labeling f of a graph G is said to be A­ friendly if...

We reviewed the clinical and morphological findings in 43 cases of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). 9 of smoldering multiple myeloma (5MM). and 23 of overt multiple myeloma (MM). In all cases. the patients physicians had requested a bone marrow examination because of the possibility of MM. In all 75 cases. 3H-thymidine labeling indices were performed. The plasma cell l...
