Reviews of this property
We have felt very comfortable in the cozy apartment. It is located in a quiet area and yet for Dresden visitors strategically well positioned: one is by tram in a few minutes in the city center.
The apartment is well equipped with everything you need. We can thoroughly recommend and will definitely be even also once again!
Wir haben uns in der gemütlichen Ferienwohnung sehr wohlgefühlt. Sie liegt in einer ruhigen Gegend und dennoch für Dresden-Besucher strategisch sehr günstig: man ist mit der Straßenbahn in wenigen Minuten in der Innenstadt.
Die Ferienwohnung ist mit allem, was man braucht, bestens ausgestattet. Wir können sie uneingeschränkt empfehlen und kommen bestimmt selbst auch mal wieder!
We were really happy to choose this flat : its location is really pretty, in a oasis of calm and greenery.
The flat was very clean and functional and only a few stops from Dresden's city centre.
Arnold's welcome was warm and there was a nice touch for the kids.
We would come back again.
Fast Acting hosts guided us the last piece to the address. A cozy apartment, where nothing was missing and they were clean. Nice and quiet neighborhood with lovely backyards. % Min. walk to shopping and 7 min. walk to the tram which 10 min.s run to Dresden's splendors.

The apartment of Fam Lang is very quiet, parking right outside the front door. We had a nice stay there, the host had in store for our daughter baby chair and cot. Great apartment in a great city.
Die Wohnung von Fam. Lang ist sehr ruhig gelegen, Parkplatz direkt vor der Haustür. Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt dort, der Gastgeber hatte für unsere Tochter Kinderstuhl und Kinderbett parat. Tolle Wohnung in einer tollen Stadt.
The apartment is in an ideal location, not too far from the city center and still very quiet and idyllic, the city center was publicly very easy to reach in a few minutes.
The decor of the apartment met our expectations, everything was there for a short city break, it was even thought of coffee filters, salt and pepper.
My boyfriend and I have felt very comfortable and will definitely make another trip to Dresden, if time and again in the apartment.
To take a shower, a curtain is better, but also went well without.
Die Wohnung liegt in einer idealen Lage, nicht allzuweit entfernt vom Stadtkern und trotzdem sehr ruhig und idyllisch, die Innenstadt war öffentlich in ein paar Minuten sehr einfach zu erreichen.
Die Ausstattung der Wohnung entsprach genau unseren Vorstellungen, es war alles da für einen kurzen Städteurlaub, es wurde sogar an Kaffefilter, Salz und Pfeffer gedacht.
Mein Freund und ich haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und werden auf jedenfall einen weiteren Trip nach Dresden unternehmen, wenn es zeitlich passt auch wieder in die Wohnung.
Zum Duschen ist ein Vorhang schon besser, ging aber auch gut ohne.
Very nice and clean place to stay. Friendly landlord. Everything is great. Gladly again.
Sehr schöne und saubere Unterkunft. Freundliche Vermieter. Alles top. Gerne wieder.
very nice host, super nice apartment. Was everything we needed. Always gladly again

Female Genital Mutilation in Bere, Oyo State, Nigeria
€ 35,90
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Dezember 2014
BeschreibungThis book presents the knowledge and perception of FGM and its complications, the socio-economic factors associated with FGM and how these work as limitations of a successful eradication of the practice in Bere community in Oyo State, South-Western Nigeria. Results showed that FGM is a common cultural practice in the study community and that men played significant role in the household decision to perform FGM. Level of education significantly determined knowledge of health complications of FGM and the likelihood to have circumcised their daughters. Results showed that the persistence of FGM reflects the socio-cultural and economic importance of the practice. The findings suggest the need for economic interventions through alternative employment targeting the circumcisers, extensive cooperative relationships with gate-keepers in the community in order to use them as advocates of change, and health education on the complications of FGM.
PortraitAdeniyi Adeneye has his background in Medical Sociology. He is a Research Fellow at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Lagos. He has over 15 years of research experience in the area of social aspects of both communicable and non-communicable diseases; maternal and child health issues; and health policy and systems research.

text: This 1961 Hymer 'Caravano' is based on Borgward B611 chassis When Bad Waldsee-based Hymer celebrates its 50th birthday this year, the company will look back at a long, successful run in the business of building camping caravans. The company's roots go back to 1956, when Erwin Hymer built his first caravan in the small repair workshop his father, Alfons, opened in 1923. Mass production of the "Hymermobil" began in 1961, just in time for Germany's postwar recovery phase, nicknamed the "Wirtschaftswunder" or "economic miracle." Suddenly flush with disposable income, Germans started taking vacations in southern Europe - often in converted VW buses. Read Morehttp://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15353342,00.html

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Fresh Basil Aioli. Bright, fresh basil in a garlick-y mayonnaise, made from scratch.
The easiest preserving you'll do all summer. Plus a link to the infamous Blue Leather: fruit roll ups made with leftover vinegar-soaked blueberries & basil.
Growing basil and scallions is possible even in a small kitchen, without great light.
Quick basil infused oil (in German and English)
a crash course in making and freezing basil pesto/pisto to cheer up dreary February.
A how-to for making your own pesto and pizza dough to use now or freeze for later use. Both recipes can be made in small batches or multiplied for larger quantities.
A simple infusion of late summer peaches and basil. The flavors complement each other nicely. This is a great way to extend two wonderful summer flavors a few months longer.
This is a simple, pectin-free recipe that gives your usual strawberry jam a much needed herbal kick. I give this recipe to all of my friends who are new to jam making and canning.
Refrigerator pickles are quite literally the easiest thing you can ever make. Ever. Period. (Recipes for pickled eggplant with basil and pickled figs.)
Basil brightens up boysenberry jam... perfect on a thick slice of sourdough with goat cheese

Arriving at the room, you realise it's empty except for a few polystyrene cups blowing gently in the breeze created by your opening of the door. Are you going mad, or is it something worse?
Slowly you turn, and make your way back to the hell hole, where you find a voice squawking at you madly from the communications console.
"What the HELL do you think you're playing at Sergeant?! Sergeant?! Are you listening to me?!"
"Y-yes sir." you stutter. Major Stiles doesn't seem happy.
"Did you think it was FUNNY Sergeant, to call in a false alarm?! I have a platoon on red alert down here! Do you realise that this is an incredible waste of resources, that we CAN'T AFFORD to lose?!"
"I'm sorry Sir," you say, trying not to let the fear show in your voice. "I though I saw - "
"Don't let it happen again soldier!" barks the Major.
You sink back in your chair, wondering what on earth is going on. Maybe you've been stuck here too long. Perhaps you ought to radio in, saying the stress is getting to you. It probably wouldn't have much effect, but you might get pulled back up to the surface to see a shrink. You rub your eyes. It would be no good calling in now, all you'd get is an irate and unsympathetic Major Stiles.
So you have to wait. There's nothing you can do now. You reach out to the coffee pot once more, then hesitate. Actually, there is something you can do. You can take a look at the surveillance tapes. That would at least confirm whether or not there was something there.
You pull out the most recent tape and jam it into second moitor, forwarding through it until you reach the right bit...

PEARL QUESTIONNAIRE: John Davis
How did you find the Diamond Approach?
|In my mid-twenties, I was trying out many different systems of personal and spiritual growth and enjoying it immensely. The search was enlivening to me, and I appreciated the growth and expansion I was experiencing. I heard from an acquaintance about Hameed and a 3-month "emotional housecleaning" process he was offering, and it sounded like it might be useful. I felt some healing and opening from it, and although I expected to move on to the next thing, I found something in his presence that got my attention in a new way. At the time, I couldn't put my finger on it, but now I realize he felt real to me, clean somehow in his presence, settled in himself, and authentic. He was just forming a group of people who had done that 3-month process, and out of curiosity about what he was about and what he knew, I joined that group. I guess I wanted some of "what he was having." That was 40 years ago.
When you first started, what was your greatest challenge?
|It's a little embarrassing, but staying awake was a huge challenge to me. Yes, literally staying awake. I was forever falling asleep in the group sessions. Sure, we were meeting on summertime evenings, and it was hot in the room, but that was hardly the reason. It was primarily a way of avoiding my inner experience. To this day, I am grateful Hameed was patient with me and did not kick me out then and there.
What has kept you engaged with the Diamond Approach teachings?
|Although this has changed in many ways, the throughline for my work has been my curiosity about what's next. Many times I felt a sense of getting the full scope of the Diamond Approach, only to find that there was more. Doors into new realms of understanding and new realms of heart keep opening. I continue to be curious about what's next for our path.
What aspect of the teaching is most alive in you right now?
|While there are many, I can name two. The topic of life transitions is close to my heart and, I feel, essential for all of us for our growth, development, and transformation. While there is much useful understanding about the shape and nature of life transitions, I feel that the Diamond Approach brings unusually profound depth and wisdom to this important topic, wisdom that can be useful in very practical ways as we go through transitions. I recently completed video recordings for a Diamond Approach Online course on life transitions. This course will be offered for the first time in September. I also feel that the course can serve as an introduction to the Diamond Approach through the lens of a universal human phenomenon, our life changes. If you are interested, I invite you to check it out at: http://online.diamondapproach.org/
Another aspect of the teaching which is alive for me is the contribution the Diamond Approach can make to our relationships with the Earth and especially with wild nature. Many of my most direct experiences of inner depth or Essence have been in nature, and I feel the Diamond Approach's understanding has contributed greatly to those experiences and, more importantly, to my integration of those experiences. This is material I have taught in university programs and on wilderness retreats, and I continue to explore it.
What advice/encouragement would you offer to someone 'on the fence' about attending an Intro event?
|Try not to fall asleep. Beyond that, I would say stay in touch with your experience as much as possible – your sensations, your feelings, and your thoughts and attitudes. And stay curious about what is arising for you, where those experiences are coming from, and what sorts of portals into your depth they might hold. This way, you'll have a better understanding about whether this path is for you.
If you could have one wish for humankind, what would it be?
|Freedom – inner and outer. The freedom to feel, move, question, understand, and love. P.S., Thanks for asking!

JE Design "Progressor" 958 Cayenne Program - $34,000
Introducing JE Design's new Cayenne tuning package they call the Progressor. This program features a widebody kit that includes a new front bumper, fenders, side skirts, diffuser, and a roof spoiler. They also offer tunes for the Cayenne Turbo as well as the Diesel model although there are no dynos to accompany the claimed power gains. They are no doubt getting gains but these are just canned tunes.
You get all this including 22 inch wheels with paint and installation of the body pieces for $34,000. Absolute complete waste of money as one can get much better gains for less in other places as well as better priced wheels and body pieces. If you have money to pointlessly burn though...
Apart from most pictures showing twice or even 3 times, the most hideous part of this is te hood.
That really spoils the car all by itself.
It is so awefull I can not look past it to the rest of the car...
Maybe if this car was black it would be better in the dark...

A Foster's lager fan cracked open a ten-can case to find all but one EMPTY - and the other was flat.
Jimmy Cragen and his wife Ann were horrified when the unopened box was all but dry. There was only one full can but that has lost its fizz and had no pressure.
The ring-pulls were in place and there was no hole in the cans that could explain why he was left gasping for another drink.
Jimmy, 53, said 10 cans were affected by the disappearing booze, the Chronicle reports.
All had black marks on the edges of the bottom which Jimmy's missus Ann believes could be mould.
Ann, 62, said: "We took them back to Asda who said it was not their responsibility and told us to get in touch with Fosters.
"We did but Fosters said there was not a manufacturing fault and there was nothing they could do."
The bizarre booze box has left the couple with something of a mystery on their hands.
Jimmy, said: "It's a mystery what happened to the lager but it's not there. I couldn't believe it when I went to get a can and realised that every one of them had nothing or almost nothing in."
The retired home carer of Byker, Newcastle admits he likes a tipple or two-a-night.
He said: "I am in the habit of stocking up on cheap 50p a can lager and drinking it at home after they banned smoking in pubs.
"I like to have a big supply and will often have loads of slabs piled up on top of the dishwasher in the garage. These ones were bought at Asda last Christmas and have been sitting around waiting their turn.
"I never noticed anything wrong when I carried them home. When I went to open the first few cans I thought nothing of it, crushed them and threw them away but I realised it was a lot of them, not just one or two, and knew something was wrong.
"One of them is full but is not pressured and the can just bends in with the slightest pressure. The cardboard boxes they came in were damp and, although I don't know how, I think the lager had escaped from the can from a pinprick."
A spokeswoman for Heineken, which owns the European rights to the brand, said they needed to see some of the cans before they decided what to do.
She said: "We take quality control very seriously and want people to enjoy Foster's in first class condition. It is very rare that we have problems with our packaging and when Mr Cragen contacted us, we advised him to send us two cans as samples so we could investigate his complaint further and ascertain the cause of the issue.
"Mr Cragen has yet to send the cans and it is difficult for us to help him further until we examine the products concerned, and understand how they have been stored.
"As soon as he does this, we will be able to carry out a proper investigation and hopefully find a resolution."

Windows Media Player is a commonly used application for playing media files. Many users on the Internet were unsuccessfully trying to obtain currently playing song information, including me. In most cases, they used WMPLib which is unfortunately not fully compatible with newer versions of Windows Media Player. So I decided to solve this problem in the other way.
I tried to solve this problem only for my personal use and the following code may differ from the complete UI independent solution (but it works :)).
For obtaining content from components inside Windows, we have to add a reference to UIAutomationClient.dll and not run application in Single Thread Apartment (STA) State.
At last, we've got to have open Windows Media Player in library mode and open the Play card:
First, we need to find Windows Media Player Window via FindWindow function included in User32.dll. We need to know which window we are looking for so we can use Spy++ to determine strWindowName and strClassName parameters.
When we have the Windows Media Player window handle, we can walk through the component tree until we find the CWmpControlCntr component and iterate though its children to obtain all desired information.
public class WMPSongInfo
private static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string strClassName, string strWindowName);
public WMPSong GetCurrentPlayingSong()
// Checking Thread Apartment State
ApartmentState state = Thread.CurrentThread.GetApartmentState();
if (state == ApartmentState.STA)
throw new InvalidOperationException
("You cannot be in Single Thread Apartment (STA) State.");
// Finding the WMP window
IntPtr handle = FindWindow("WMPlayerApp", "Windows Media Player");
if (handle == IntPtr.Zero)
throw new InvalidOperationException("Windows Media Player window not found.");
TreeWalker walker = TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker;
// Whole WMP window
AutomationElement wmpPlayer = AutomationElement.FromHandle(handle);
AutomationElement wmpAppHost = walker.GetFirstChild(wmpPlayer);
AutomationElement wmpSkinHost = walker.GetFirstChild(wmpAppHost);
// All elements in WMP window
AutomationElement wmpContainer = walker.GetFirstChild(wmpSkinHost);
// Container with song information
AutomationElement wmpSongInfo = walker.GetFirstChild(wmpContainer);
if (wmpSongInfo == null)
throw new InvalidOperationException("Unable to find CWMPControlCntr
in Windows Media Player Window. Try to switch to full view.");
// Iterating through all components in container - searching for container with song information
while (wmpSongInfo.Current.ClassName != "CWmpControlCntr")
wmpSongInfo = walker.GetNextSibling(wmpSongInfo);
if (wmpSongInfo == null)
// Walking through children (image, hyperlink, song info etc.)
List<AutomationElement> info = GetChildren(wmpSongInfo);
info = GetChildren(info[0]);
info = GetChildren(info[1]);
info = GetChildren(info[2]);
// Obtaining elements with desired information
AutomationElement songE = info[0];
AutomationElement albumE = info[3];
AutomationElement artistE = info[4];
string name = songE.Current.Name;
string album = albumE.Current.Name;
string artist = artistE.Current.Name;
return new WMPSong(name, album, artist);
// Returns all child AutomationElement nodes in "element" node
private List<AutomationElement> GetChildren(AutomationElement element)
List<AutomationElement> result = new List<AutomationElement>();
TreeWalker walker = TreeWalker.ControlViewWalker;
AutomationElement child = walker.GetFirstChild(element);
while (child != null)
child = walker.GetNextSibling(child);
return result;
We can simply add the WMPSongInfo.cs file to our project and then we can use it:
WMPSongInfo info = new WMPSongInfo();
WMPSong song = info.GetCurrentPlayingSong();
Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1} ({2})", song.Name, song.Artist, song.Album);
As I mentioned, this code is designed only for Windows Media Player opened in library mode with opened Play card so if you have a better solution, I would appreciate it.

22nd International Conference on Genome Informatics: Systems Biology
22nd International Conference on Genome Informatics
Lymph node invasion is one of the most powerful clinical factors in cancer prognosis. However, molecular level signatures of their correlation are remaining poorly understood. Here, we propose a new approach, monotonically expressed gene analysis (MEGA), to correlate transcriptional patterns of lymph node invasion related genes with clinical outcome of breast cancer patients.
Using MEGA, we scored all genes with their transcriptional patterns over progression levels of lymph node invasion from 278 non-metastatic breast cancer samples. Applied on 65 independent test data, our gene sets of top 20 scores (positive and negative correlations) showed significant associations with prognostic measures such as cancer metastasis, relapse and survival. Our method showed better accuracy than conventional two class comparison methods. We could also find that expression patterns of some genes are strongly associated with stage transition of pathological T and N at specific time. Additionally, some pathways including T-cell immune response and wound healing serum response are expected to be related with cancer progression from pathway enrichment and common motif binding site analyses of the inferred gene sets.
By applying MEGA, we can find possible molecular links between lymph node invasion and cancer prognosis in human breast cancer, supported by evidences of feasible gene expression patterns and significant results of meta-analysis tests.
The presence of lymph node invasion is one of the strongest indicators for prognoses of distant metastasis and survival in most cancers
Many researchers have devoted their efforts to understand lymph node invasion in breast cancers, because regional lymph nodes are frequently observed as the first site of metastasis
So far,
There are several statistical models applicable for multivariate correlation scoring (instead of two-class based scoring). Linear/Non-linear (multiple) regression and analysis of variance models (two-way ANOVA and MANOVA) have been widely used in various fields. Both models (linear and non-linear), however, have a few weaknesses; a gene expression pattern over lymph node progression is not necessarily linear, and the data has too few time points to be assessed in a non-linear way. ANOVA models are usually used to test if there is a significant difference among the mean values, so it is not robust to inconsistent fluctuations of expression values. In time series analyses, autoregressive moving average model and its variants (ARMA, ARMAX and ARIMA) are widely used especially in electronic engineering and system identification fields, and some unit root tests (for stationarity test in time series including Augmented Dickey Fuller test
Our method, monotonically expressed gene analysis (MEGA), scores gene expression patterns with their non-linear monotonicity over a stage progression of interest. It accumulates all the normalized expressional differences between two consecutive stages (see Methods). If the direction of expressional change is consistently positive or negative, the score increases; otherwise, the sum of differences will be cancelled out. Because there are two non-independent factors (stage T and N), one variable should be fixed while the other variable is being used. In MEGA, a two dimensional matrix is constructed, each dimension of which is composed of four points (N0~N3 and T1~T4, T0 is excluded due to the lack of data) generating totally 16 data points per a gene. So, applying the scoring function to each row or column represents calculating the cumulative expressional changes over one factor while the other is fixed. MEGA also has a weight parameter to emphasize a specific stage transition (e.g. N1→ N2) to capture genes activated or repressed in a particular time range. After calculating scores, top
If the gene sets show consistence and confident accuracy, a series follow-up analysis can be used for reasoning biological meaning (e.g. common pathways or transcription factors). First, gene set analysis can discover some biological pathways involving in metastasis progression. Considering pathways instead of individual genes as an acting unit of biological phenomena explains how different gene sets are sometimes associated with same conditions. And we can find more succinct way to describe the whole processes. Second, the fact that the genes show similar expression patterns as the cancer metastasis progresses leads us to a hypothesis that some common transcription factors play a crucial role in the process. Here, all the genes are not necessarily causative; rather, they are effect from changes of a fewer number of genes in upper hierarchy. In this case, finding frequently represented motifs from the promoter regions of the gene sets might be a good analysis for discovering the transcription factors. This would be more powerful information in practical applications such as pharmaceutical research and patient treatment.
Totally four gene sets of size 20 are constructed from 278 breast tumor gene expression data (expO database) by applying monotonically expressed gene analysis (MEGA). They are N-wise monotonically expressed genes (N-MEG) and T-wise monotonically expressed genes (T-MEG), which are further divided into positive and negative correlation sets. Given these four gene sets (N-MEG+, N-MEG-, T-MEG+, and T-MEG-), we tested on65 independent breast cancer prognosis data sets downloaded from ONCOMINE database (See Methods for details) how much the expression values of the genes are correlated with prognostic outcomes.
Lymph node-wise monotonically expressed genes (N-MEG)
The result of meta-analysis test with N-MEG+ and N-MEG- is shown in Figure
Figure 1
N-MEG with their meta-analysis test result.
N-MEG with their meta-analysis test result. Here, 20 N-MEG+ and 20 N-MEG- genes are tested. Each column corresponds to a specific gene, and each row to an experiment in the ONCOMINE test set. Test set of 65 experiments are classified into three major classes (PRG, STG, and GRD), each of which are subdivided into several minor classes. Blue color denotes up-regulation, and yellow color denotes down-regulation. Experiments with an asterisk (*) denote they used the expO database, and were excluded from further analyses. PRG=prognosis, MP=metastatic prognosis, RLP=relapse prognosis SVP=survival prognosis, STG=stage, M=M stage, N=N stage, G=stage grouping, T=T stage, GRD=tumor grade.
It is easily shown that N-MEG+ genes are positively correlated with worse prognoses, higher tumor stages and higher tumor grades. Similarly, N-MEG- is negatively correlated. From the p-value matrix, we can calculate integrated p-values using three meta-analysis methods over ten test classes (Figure
Figure 2

P-values of N-MEG over ten analysis types. Each line denotes a different kind of meta-analysis method. Except the 'stage M' class, all the p-values are less than 0.01 (and extremely low in prognosis analyses). Each p-value was calculated by multiplying two p-values from 20 up and 20 down genes.
In a comparison with gene sets from previous work, the N-MEG showed the highest association with cancer prognoses (Figure
Figure 3
Comparison with previous studies.
Comparison with previous studies. Each value corresponds to a sum of log-odd scores from up and down regulated gene sets. In prognosis analyses, pattern based methods (MEGA, multiple regression and ANOVA models) showed better results than two-class comparison methods (Paired t-test in Suzuki and Mann-Whitney test in Ellsworth). N-MEG (blue) showed the best significance among all the gene sets. Instead, N-MEG and a multiple regression set showed relatively low significance in tumor stage data; probably because most of the N stage test sets used two-class comparison methods. Values in tumor grade analyses were scaled down to 1/10 for better presentation of the graph. N-MEG = N-wise monotonically expressed genes, MR = multiple regression, 2ANOVA = two-way ANOVA.
Overall aspects of gene expression progression along the N stage give explicit explanations of differences among the candidate gene sets (Figure
Figure 4
Aspects of gene expression patterns.
Aspects of gene expression patterns. Top ranked genes from four different methods are shown (A: N-MEG, B: multiple regression, C: two-way ANOVA, D: Suzuki set, E: Ellsworth set, and G: Abba set). Genes in the first row are up-regulated genes in lymph node positive samples in each study, the second row are down regulated genes (except in B; ANOVA does not give directional results). Lymph node progression is denoted in X-axis, and the relative expression values against normal breast samples are denoted in Y-axis (in log 2 based fold change). Four different colors are used to discriminate different tumor sizes (T stage 1 to 4). Expression patterns of two genes from N-MEG and multiple regression (FLJ32549, AKR1D1, TMEM65 and MGC35361) show consistent increase (top row) or decrease (bottom row) in all tumor sizes, while top-ranked genes from other studies (D~F) show either inconsistency among different tumor sizes (D up, E and F up) or disagreement over phenotypic traits (D down, E down, and F up). We can see that the multiple regression model find more linear relationships (B) and ANOVA set contains significant fluctuations (C).
Classification and survival analysis
To show the classification power of the N-MEGs, we conducted a test for 5-year metastasis free survival data from Wang et al

(B) Areas under ROC curve (AUC) denote the statistical measurement of the classification power. Note that the genes from previous two-class comparisons hardly prove their usefulness in classification; but the result may differ when conducted in other classification methods. (C and D) Three risk groups (good, intermediate and poor) show distinct survival and hazard functions in Kaplan-Meyer diagrams. AUC=area under curve, Std. Error=standard error, Asym. Prob.=Asymptotic probability, LCL=lower confidence limit, UCL=upper confidence limit.
T-wise monotonically expressed genes (T-MEG) and comparison with N-MEG
T-MEG (n=40, 20 T-MEG+ and 20 T-MEG-) were also significantly correlated with breast cancer prognosis including metastasis and relapse, but the significance was generally worse than N-MEG (Table
The distinct characteristics between the two tumoral features might be tumor tissue specific. Breasts are not essential organs for personal survival. So even though a tumor has grown to be large, the cancer is not a fatal disease unless the tumor has been spread to other organs. In this case, mastectomy would be effective for improving patients' survival rate. Although cancer prognosis is a result of complex and stochastic activities among cellular processes, we can conclude this tendency would be valid for other non-essential organs.

N-MEG showed better significance than T-MEG. Generally speaking, N-wise progression gives more information than T-wise progression in cancer prognosis.
Genes related to specific N stage transitions
We further tested the significance of genes related to specific steps of lymph node invasion progression by altering a leaping factor β. The leaping factor was set to 10 and applied to three different steps (N0→N1, N1→N2, and N2→N3) with α factor remains to be zero. These gene sets are N-wise monotonically expressed genes with a leaping at a specific stage transition A→B (N-MEGA→B: here, N-MEG0→1, N-MEG1→2, and N-MEG2→3 respectively). Interestingly, we found significant discrepancy among lymph node invasion progression steps (Table

N-MEG0 → 1 (n=40)
N-MEG1 → 2 (n=40)
N-MEG2 → 3 (n=40)

N-MEG2→3 (β=10) showed the best significance in cancer prognosis test sets. While N-MEG0→1was also significantly associated with prognosis and some stages, N-MEG1→2 showed surprisingly insignificant results. MP=prognosis of metastasis, RLP=prognosis of relapse, SVP=prognosis of survival, OVP=overall prognosis, STM=stageM, STN=stageN, STG=stageG.
Firstly, we expected that N-MEG0→1 would be more informative than N-MEG in the other stage transitions. Because, it is thought that if a set of tumor cells acquire high motility to migrate and intravasate into lymph nodes, dissemination of tumor cells over the larger parts of lymph nodes would follow spontaneously
To inspect the characteristics of N-MEG0→1 and N-MEG2→3, we chose 200 genes from each gene set (100 positive and 100 negative genes in N-MEG0→1 and N-MEG2→3) and compared them each other. We found that there were few overlaps between two gene sets; no overlap in top 20 genes, and only two overlaps in 200 genes. But in the gene function analysis using Gorilla

Common TF binding site prediction for N-MEG
Because the N-MEG+ and N-MEG- are already selected from their expression patterns along the lymph node invasion progression, we can hypothesize that they are co-regulated by several core transcription factors. To find candidate common transcriptional regulators, we analyzed upstream regions of the N-MEG and selected significantly over-represented motif binding sites using Pscan program
Figure 6
Candidate commonly binding transcription factors.
Candidate commonly binding transcription factors. Using Pscan, 50 top-ranked N-MEG+ and N-MEG0→1+ were analysed in their upstream sequences. In N-MEG+, transcription factors involved in serum response activities have been identified. In N-MEG0→1+, IRF1-IRF2 mediated tumor suppressing pathways were identified as candidate driving pathways.
We also conducted the same analysis with N-MEG0→1 and N-MEG2→3 (β=10). While there was no significant common binding sites in N2→N3 progression, we found STAT1, IRF2, and IRF1 can be common binding transcription factors in 50 N-MEG0→1 (p-values of 4.4×10-13,1.1×10-12, and7.4×10-12 respectively, data shown in Figure
In this study, we proposed a monotonically expressed gene analysis (MEGA) for extracting genes that are related to lymph node invasion and tumor size in breast cancer. We analysed expression patterns over a two dimensional N×T space and provided results of meta-analysis to evaluate the gene sets. The test has been conducted on completely independent data sets. We showed that gene sets selected from the suggested LE' and TE' functions are strongly correlated with cancer prognoses including metastasis, relapse and survival, and showed significantly better results than conventional approaches. These functions are specially designed to capture expressional differences between two consecutive stages and consistency of expression patterns as well. The MEGA model also enabled us to analyze the impact of each clinical factor independently, and to inspect a specific stage transition in a cancer progression.
Before concluding our report, it is necessary to reconsider the meaning of linking clinical factors and cancer prognosis in a molecular level. A general relationship among clinical and genetic factors is described in Figure
Figure 7
Conceptual relationship of clinical and genetic factors.
Conceptual relationship of clinical and genetic factors. Colors in the box denote different levels of data. Lines are drawn in different shapes according to different degrees of certainty. After primary tumor occurred, accumulated (epi)genetic mutations drive cancer progression. With transcriptional level data, we can elucidate lymph node invasion (A) and cancer prognosis (C). But in the prediction steps, the previously proven relation between D and F should be properly explained (B).
Although the MEGA analysis provided a feasible link to clinical factors and cancer prognoses in a genetic level, some parts remain to be improved. First, the monotonicity can be defined in various ways. Currently we can rarely determine the activities of genes in an absolute expression level. Some genes have higher saturation level so that the gene expression pattern might show a monotonic increase through all the clinical stages. On the other hand, if an activity of a gene is easily saturated, the gene expression pattern above a certain degree would not be informative anymore. Handling and determining the optimized pattern on every gene is almost impossible, but other heuristics will be available using kinetics and text-mining. Second, integration with other omics data always count. It is still a big question; how to connect two different types and levels of information. As shown in Figure

Monotonically expressed gene analysis (MEGA)
In this work, we use two clinical variables (pathological T and N), but MEGA can be expanded to three or more variables with similar procedures. The final goal of the MEGA analysis is to extract N-wise monotonically expressed genes (N-MEG) and T-wise monotonically expressed genes (T-MEG) using monotonicity functions. We first define a two dimensional N×T space for each gene. The N×T space for a gene gy consists of p numbers of N stages and q numbers of T stages can be defined as a (p+1)×(q+1) matrix X:
where the first row and the first column denote gene expressions of normal samples.
To represent how consistently a series of gene expressions has changed along N and T axes, we defined two scoring functions of the X matrix:
where LE is a monotonicity function of gene expression over lymph node invasion progression and TE is monotonicity function of gene expression over tumor size growth. The parameter α is a consistency factor which emphasizes the direction of gene expression changes, S is a sign function, and β is a leaping factor for giving weights to an specific step of stage progression. The characteristics of parameter α were not explored in this study. The sign function S is defined as:
And a matrix of leaping factors β is defined as a matrix form:
Because β is only meaningful in two consecutive stages, the β matrix is much like a diagonal matrix. The off-diagonal entries are always defined as 1. In this study, we applied the leaping factors only for N stage progression.
We can interpret the value of LE and TE functions as a sum of moving deviations in the course of N and T stage progression. For each stage, we calculate the gene expression differences between the current stage and previous stages from the beginning of stage to the one step before the current stage. If a certain gene shows a monotonic increase or decrease in its gene expression along the N or T stages, the absolute value of the function would be larger.
Finally the LE and TE functions are normalized by the overall standard deviation of the X matrix:
We selected top 40 genes for each monotonicity function (LE' and TE') with their absolute scores. The 40 genes are composed of 20 genes of high score and 20 genes of low score. The genes of high LE' score means that the expression of those genes showed monotonic increase as the lymph node invasion progresses, so the set of the genes is named N-wise monotonically expressed genes with positive correlation (N-MEG+). Similarly, N-wise monotonically expressed genes with negative correlation (N-MEG-) and two other gene sets on a tumor size factor (T-MEG+ and T-MEG-) were defined.
Meta-analysis test on ONCOMINE data set
We performed meta-analysis tests on 65 ONCOMINE data sets with the selected N-MEG and T-MEG. Assume that we have a gene set G = {g1, g2…gn} and an experiment set E = {e1, e2…ek}. For a gene i and experiment j, we can extract a p-value of gene i in the experiment j from the ONCOMINE data set:
Because the pij is basically two tailed p-value in the original data sets, we converted these p-values into one-tailed p-values:
During this procedure, some genes were missed due to the different naming strategies and the difference of coverage among the test sets. To minimize the loss of information, we searched for all aliases and symbols of earlier versions using the recent version of HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) database (2009/08/23).
Three meta-analysis methods have been applied to calculate overall p-values for a certain set of experiments – Fisher's inverse chi-square
which follows a χ2distribution with 2nk degrees of freedom under the joint null hypothesis
Here, the
which can be approximated using incomplete beta function.
So, the final p-value is calculated like below.
Correction of Z scores from background biases
Before finalizing p-values of meta-analyses, we noticed that the p-values in the ONCOMINE data sets are upwardly biased. In the 65 studies, 55 studies have bigger number of significantly changed genes than we expected. And we also found that 43 studies have more up-regulated genes than down-regulated genes. We do not insist that these results mean experimental errors; we would rather think it is natural that many of genes are going to be actively expressed as the cancer progresses and regulatory mechanisms are being broke down. But in the case of test procedures, we are likely to get more false positives unless we consider the background biases. For example, some random gene sets may represent 'more than average' results and will be thought to be significant for cancer phenotypes.
To correct the background biases, we generated 1,000 random gene sets (n=20) and tested on the ONCOMINE data sets. And we computed Stouffer's overall Z score on each random gene set. Averaged Z scores represent an expected Z score from a random gene set. From this result, we could conclude that the meta-analysis result of gene sets look more up-regulated in the cancer progression than they really are. So we corrected all the Stouffer's Z scores result from N-MEG and T-MEG by subtracting the mean values of Z in the up-regulation test and adding in the down-regulation test.
