Starting conservatively(if I was to scale based on the mouse study the dose would be approx 100mg/day), I reconstituted .325g FOXO4-DRI in 10ml bacteriostatic water. Injected 50 units(.5ml) or approx 16mg into my stomach fat. No noticeable reaction/effects.
I really appreciate your courage in this experiment.
The published scientific article explains the mechanism of action of FOXO-DRI. Apparently, FOXO-DRI can activate apoptosis in cancer cells. My father-in-law struggles to survive cancer, but the prognosis is sad. I think that FOXO-DRI can give him the opportunity to spend several months with his family. I’m now looking for an opportunity to buy this drug. Is it possible to have a group purchase with you?
Sorry to hear about your father-in-law. I certainly can’t comment on if FOXO4-DRI might help him. I’ve had many people inquire about getting FOXO4-DRI at a more reasonable price… I’m trying to see what efficiencies of scale can do to bring the price down–. I’ll contact you privately when I have more info.

The snack food industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in salting, roasting, drying, cooking or canning nuts; processing grains or seeds into snacks; manufacturing peanut butter; or manufacturing potato chips, corn chips, popped popcorn, hard pretzels, pork rinds and similar snacks.
Snacks are satisfying consumer cravings and the global snack food category has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 10 per cent between 2012 and 2016. In 2016 the snack food industry in Canada was valued at $12.6 Billion.
Consumers primarily define snacks by time of consumption (non-traditional meal hours), and secondarily by item size. Canadians are snacking between meals more often now than in 2016 as they increasingly rely on snacks to get them through their days. According to a recent study. Canadians’ view of snacks is expanding to include beverages as well as a wider variety of foods including healthy food and beverages.
The average Canadian enjoys 12 different types of snacks in a 30-day period.
Nine in ten Canadians snack multiple times a day on a wide variety of foods that include everything from traditional salty snacks to cookies, crackers, jerky, fruit, nuts and confectionery.
55 per cent snack between meals at least twice per day.
37 per cent say they typically skip or replace one to two meals per day with snacks.
63 per cent somewhat agree that having a snack instead of a meal can be part of a healthy diet.
Snacks now include non-traditional foods once positioned strictly for breakfast, lunch, or dinner meals as illustrated in Figure 1 below.
Time constraints and a desire for convenience result in more than a third of consumers replacing at least one meal per day with snacks. Grab and go snack boxes made daily offer opportunity to meet the demand for convenience.
Mood also plays a pivotal role in snacking as illustrated in Figure 2. In essence, snacking occurs whether people are experiencing positive or negative emotions. Positioning snacks as pick-me-ups and highlighting mood-boosting attributes like antioxidants and vitamin D can help to reach consumers on a deeper level and drive sales.
Figure 2: Influence of Mood on Snacking.
Canadians snack throughout the day. However, as depicted in Figure 3, the most popular time for snacking is in the afternoon lead by the 18 – 34 year old age group.
What do Consumers Snack On?
Consumers snack on a wide variety of items. Only 22 per cent say they typically have the same type of food/beverage each time they snack. As highlighted in Figure 4, beverages are the most preferred snack category followed by baked goods, side items, desserts, appetizers and entrées.
Require their choices to provide premium benefits and meet a higher quality experience.
As depicted in Figure 5, Canadian consumers (32 per cent) say that they are switching to more healthy food and beverages in comparison to 2016.
Figure 5: Shifts Since 2016 – Compared to 2 years ago, I am snacking on…..
The popularity of ethnic snacks is relatively low overall, which may be because these options are less widely available than other snacking staples. Snacking is a good way for consumers to experiment with new and ethnic flavours because snacks are less of a cost commitment.
As an example, in the food service sector, adding ethnic appetizers/snacks to menus may help draw in consumers. Integrating unfamiliar ethnic flavors into familiar items like ramen, donair and Caribbean/Jamaican patties can help put consumers at ease. Dish descriptions and photos can help with this as well.
Younger generations tend to be more ethnically diverse and more open to trying new foods. In the food service sector, as noted in Figure 6, among younger consumers, the popularity of ramen is likely due in part to the inexpensive instant packaged version which has become a staple for dorm-dwellers across college campuses. Donairs are also a popular late-night option among this age group.
As illustrated in Figure 7, global snack food sales are significant. A rare global growth story, snacks are satisfying consumer cravings around the world—in fact, the snacking business grew by US$3.4 billion globally in 2017 with Europe in the lead, followed by Asia-Pacific.
As highlighted in Figure 8, many emerging markets rise to the top of those with an increased appetite for snacks. Seeing sales growth in non-essential categories, like snacks, is a good indicator that consumers in these countries are ready and able to spend beyond the bare necessities, marking an incredible opportunity for snack food companies in these markets.
Each generation views snacking differently as illustrated in Table 2. Knowledge of generational preferences can assist in successfully targeting market opportunities in the snack food arena.
There are opportunities for Alberta producers and processors to capitalize on the growing snack food market both domestically and internationally in established as well as emerging markets.
Because beverages are the most commonly consumed snack items, there are market opportunities for agri-food producers and processors in the beverage snack market. Specifically fruit and vegetable smoothies and juices continue to offer opportunity. Health-halo attributes (e.g., all-natural, GMO-free, additive-free, etc.) in combination with high-protein claims and functional claims such as “energizing,” can help position these beverages as smart meal replacement choices.
In addition to traditional snacks, consumers are demanding snack foods that are healthier, provide ethnic flavours, and can function as meal replacements.
Alberta potato growers have an increased market opportunity with the rising consumption of various types of flavoured French fries.
Target marketing is essential in capitalizing on snack food demand. There are generational shifts in snack food preferences. Although there are many variances among these groups, typically, Baby Boomers prefer snack items such as baked goods while Millennials prefer protein bars, Generation Z children prefer yogurt, Generation Z teens prefer rice cakes or chips and crackers, while Generation X prefer healthy snacks.
Since 50 per cent of consumers snack 2-3 times per day between meals, these occasions often serve as a pick-me-up. Snacks sold in packaging containing separate compartments with a different type of snack in each could help provide portion control and variety for each separate snacking occasion throughout the day. Marketing could position these snacks as “survival packs” that help consumers get through their days without feeling like they binged on snacks or overate.

text: In 1970, under President Nixon, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) was passed. Under this legislation, employers were to be held responsible for worker safety and their exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Although OSHA had regulation for employees contact and exposure, there was no agency to protect the home/business owners from improper cleaning procedures and illegal dumping of biohazardous medical waste. Throughout the years, OSHA and ADEQ have raised the standards for the Crime Scene Cleaning Venedocia (CSC) Industry and filtered out unqualified construction, restoration, and carpet cleaning companies. As more and more of these companies stopped offering CSC because of the extensive training and compliance required by State and Federal agencies, a niche industry was born.

For 20 years, the Community Thanksgiving has offered a special celebration on San Juan Island. It’s not just the pies, mashed potatoes and turkeys that have hundreds of people returning each year, but the friendship found at the festive tables, sinks and serving areas.
“Whatever the job, there is no shortage of laughs and camaraderie,” said Minnie Knych who has organized the event with her husband Jim since day one.
The annual dinner will be held from noon–5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 22, at the Mullis Community Senior Center.
Knych urges volunteers to sign up ahead of time, to help the dinner committee prepare.
It can take up to 75 volunteers to make this island family dinner happen.
Everyone is welcome, from veteran volunteers to new ones. This year, the dinner is particularly in need of pies – homemade or purchased.
Islanders who’d like to fill their home with the smell of roast turkey are encouraged to pick up one of the 32 preseasoned birds at the Mullis Senior Center between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21. All turkeys come with a cooking bag and foil pan for your convenience, along with the bird’s weight and cooking time. Pop it in the oven, and bring it to the community dinner hot and ready to serve.
The day of the dinner, there will be plenty of opportunities to help out — from serving pie to washing dishes. Organized in one-hour shifts, islanders can give as much or as little of their time as they’d like — a few hours or the entire day.
“It is basically organized chaos but lots of fun,” said Minnie Knych.
Some volunteers dine with the community either before or after their work shift and some go off to other gatherings. The Knychs like to help in the kitchen a while and then take a break to enjoy being with friends while having a traditional feast in the dining room.
The community Thanksgiving dinner has grown over the years and more diners show up each year. Last year there were over 500 people. For Minnie Knych, the event just keeps getting better.
“Time flies when you are having fun, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday,” she said looking back at the last 20 years.

As you look back, your life can be broken down and analyzed as a series of decisions... some inconsequential, some with great consequences, some good decisions and some bad. We are constantly called upon to make decisions. Even when we try to delay or avoid making a decision, we have made a decision.
This explains why those who have never heard the gospel are still subject to God's judgment, as well as, those who have heard and have rejected the salvation of God through Christ Jesus. The penalty for sin is death, eternal separation from God in hell. All unforgiven sinners, whether or not they have been privileged to hear the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, will be judged by God and spend eternity in hell; ...they are without excuse.
As we listen to the truth of God's word, are consciences are progressively renewed. We can now begin making decisions consistent with God's word and His will. Most consequential decisions for Christians are obvious when sifted through His word and guided by a renewed conscience. Even when we are tempted to sin, our conscience, when instructed and matured in God's word, convicts us and encourages us to do the right thing;...whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Unfortunately we can't do much about past bad decisions and resulting negative consequences. But we can start right now trying to make godly decisions that will bring glory to God and abundant blessings to us. Maranatha!

Is it Safe to be a Jew in the U.S. in 2017?
What – you might ask? Has Penny lost her mind – leftover PTSD from hiding in bomb shelters in Israel? Of course it’s safe – or is it? Do you have a kid you’re about to send off to college? Do you know – beyond discrimination, that they are being harassed, bullied and assaulted on their college campuses throughout the United States and Canada? Instead of worrying about the next test or if that cute guy in their class likes them, they are confronted with graffiti of swastikas, and egregious writings like “Gas Jews Die,” or “Kill all Kikes.” Our next generation’s college memories soiled by fear and intimidation.
Disappointing, yet predictable, there were eight California schools on the list including five UCs (#6 UCLA, #12 Berkeley, #18 UCI, #24 Santa Cruz, #29 Davis), #20 Stanford, and two UC State schools (#10 San Francisco, and #19 San Diego).
Combined with the recent reports from Brandeis and Trinity College, where an astounding 54% and 75% respectively, of Jewish students perceive a hostile environment for Jews on campus, it’s depressing.
But what is also clear, is there aren’t broad based strokes that can be made about the campuses – each was unique as to how, or if, anti-Semitism was perceived.
It was also discouraging to find out schools with the largest Jewish populations were more likely to suffer anti-Semitic, hostile environments. It seems like there aren’t safe havens in numbers.
Where is the outrage? If the same types of incidents were occurring to other minorities, or the rights of peoples’ sexual orientation were being challenged – it would be all over the news.
While at some schools there is a strong correlation between anti-Semitism and anti-Israel proponents, in other schools like at Wisconsin, Rutgers, and Illinois it’s just the same old bigotry raising its monstrous head. However, one of the strongest predictors of perceiving a hostile climate toward Israel and Jews is the presence of active Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) or Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) groups on campus.
Does free speech not apply if you’re Jewish? I know it’s hard to believe, but the atmosphere for Jews has changed on college campuses. It seems like almost every Jewish kid I know goes to college. We are only 2% of the U.S. population, yet A disproportionate 35% of today’s Jews with graduate degrees, and nearly two-thirds with at least a bachelors degree, whereas only 27% of today’s non-Jews have college degrees Don’t they have a right to feel safe? We can’t ignore or close our eyes to what’s happening.
One report in The Times of Israel stated that “Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), has been compiling lists of Jewish students on college campuses in North America and detailing their dorm address information, raising fears for the students’ safety.” How scary is that?
AMCHA Initiative’s studies of anti-Semitic activity at more than 100 colleges and universities most popular with Jewish students, have substantiated the survey reports from both Brandeis University and Trinity College claims.
Groups such as the BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanction) movement and SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine), weren’t the only perpetrators of anti-Semitism on campus – professors have been cited as well. AMCHA published a list of Over 200 Anti-Israel Middle East Studies Professors.
Professors who support these groups, often have free reign on campuses. Dartmouth appointed N. Bruce Duthu as its new Dean of the Faculty – a supporter of the Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS) movement. The chant of the BDS movement, from the river to the sea, is anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and anti-Jewish. It refers to sweeping the Jews out of Israel.
Why are the college administrators allowing this vitriol under the guise of free speech? What about the free speech and rights of their Jewish populations to be free from harassment and intimidation?
Granted the top two are schools for Jews, but I was heartened to see that MIT, with a rating of only 2.5 for its Jewish population, was #3. This was attributed to its long standing collaboration with Israeli academics for over a decade and its fellowship program with Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
This is not to say that there are no pro-Palestinian factions on campus. They do have a “Palestine@MIT” group. Despite this, activity against the Jewish state is minimal.
Other colleges worth mentioning are: The University of Pennsylvania #6 with a substantial rating of 4.0 for their Jewish population, and colleges ranked 7-10, with substantially lower Jewish populations: Tulane University #7, Emory University #8, Washington University, St. Louis #9, and John Hopkins University #10.
Martin Luther King said, “There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” These young adults are our next generation, responsible for the continuation of our people. Please speak up. Our kids need us.
As always, I invite you to Join Me on My Journey….

Somatostatin, prolactin, retinoids, melatonin and ACTH have been shown to influence the lymphatic growth, and the action of the Cyclophosphamide in lymphoproliferative disorders is well known. This provided the rationale to conduct, in patients with low-grade non-Hodgkin‘s lymphomas (NHL), a Phase II Trial of a combined association of Cyclophosphamide, Somatostatin, Bromocriptin, Retinoids, Melatonin and ACTH.
Twenty patients with a diagnosis of low-grade NHL, stage III or IV, were included in this study. Patients received for one month the following treatment: Cyclophosphamide, Somatostatin, Bromocriptin, Retinoids, Melatonin, and ACTH. The therapy was continued for two additional months in patients with stable or responding disease. Afler three months, the responding patients continued the therapy for three months and more.
Twenty patients where assessable for toxicity and response; 70% (14 of 20 patients; 95% confidence interval [CI], 50% to 90%) had a partial response; 20% (4 of 20) had stable disease, and 10% (2 of 20) progressed on therapy. Going on with the treatment, none of the 14 patients with partial response had a disease progression (average follow-up time of 21 months, range, 7 to 25), and 50% of these patients had a complete response; among 4 patients with stable disease, 25% (1 of 4) had a partial response and 75% (3 of 4) progressed on therapy (mean time to progression [TTP] 14.3 months, range, 7 to 21). The toxicity was very mild, the most common side effects being drowsiness, diarrhea and hyperglycemia.
The association of Cyclophosphamide, Somatostatin, Bromocriptin, Retinoids, Melatonin, and ACTH is well tolerated and effective in treatment of low-grade NHL at advanced stage.
Recently, several new agents bave been shown to inhibit the lymphatic growth. Among these, especially the ones without bone marrow toxicity, as Somatostatin, aroused great interest for the possibility to be used with myelosuppressive chemotherapy regimens without determining a further myelosuppression.
An association like this was first reported in 1979 by Di Bella et al. , who reported to have used the cyclophosphamide together with somatostatin, bromocriptin, retinoids, melatonin and ACTH in several cancers, including non Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL).
These studies, together with the well known action of cyclophosphamide, provided the rationale to design a phase II study to determine if a combined therapy based on cyclophosphamide, somatostatin. brinocriptin, retinoids, melatonin and ACTH has activity in patients with low-grade NHL at advanced stage.
Patients were selected on the basis of a clinical diagnosis of low-grade NHL, stage III or IV. Additional criteria of selection weree: a performance status (PS) between 0 and 3, according to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, and the presence of bidimensionally measurable lesion, as demonstrated by physical examination, chest radiograph, ecotomography, or computed tomographic or magnetic resonance scans. Patients who had received other treatment were included in this study only upon evidence that the previous treatment was not effective.
Patients receiving chemotherapy were asked to suspend any drug admnistration for at least 15 days prior to the beginning of the combined therapy.
Toxicity was evaluated using criteria developed by the World Health Organization.
Patients received a combination of cyclophosphamide, somatostatin, bromocriptin, retinoids, melatonin and ACTH. Cyclophosphamide was given orally at a dose of 75 mg/day (50 mg at 2 pm and 25 mg at 9 pm). Somatostatin was administreted subcutaneously (SQ) at a dose or 1.5 mg/day within 8 hours using a syringe pump. The administration started at least three hours after dinner and those patients who were psychologically unable to accept this type of administration received single SQ injection of octreotide (0,5 mg/day) three hours after dinner. Bromocriptin was given orally at a dose of 2.5 mg/day (1.25 mg at 2 pm and at 9 pm). Retinods: all-trans retinoic acid, vitamin A palmitate and beta-carotene were administered orally, at 8 am, in 5 ml of vitamin E, respectively at doses of 5 mg, 5000 UI and 20 mg/day. Melatonin was given orally at a dose of 20 mg/day (10 mg at 2 pm and at 9 pm). ACTH was administered intermuscularly at a dose of 1 mg/week.
All the patients were treated for at least one month. At the end of this period, those who had stable disease or partial response received additional two months of treatment, and the ones who responded after three months were treated for three months and more.
Complete response or remission was defined as the complete regression of all the measurable lymphomatous lesions. Partial response was defined as a ≥ 50% reduction in the sum of the products of the two diameters (the longest diameter and the one perpendicular to it) of one or more lesions lasting at least 4 weeks.
Progression was defined by the increase in size of the pre-existing lesions of at least 25%, the onset of new lesions or the increase of spleen or liver of at least 2 centimeters due to lymphoma.
Those patients who could not be clearly placed in any of the described categories were defined in stable condition. The assessment of the response was made after 1 month from the beginning of the treatment. Such an assessment was carried on after another 2 months and, later, every 3 months in patients going on with the treatment.
Twenty patients (ten males and ten females between 37 and 70 years old) with low-grade histology were included in this study, and all were assessable for toxicity and response. Sixty percent (12 of 20) had centroblastic-centrocytic histology and 10 were previously treated. Twenty percent (4 of 20) had centrocytic histology, the remaining twenty percent had lymphocytic histology and 3 of 4 in both groups had been treated prior to this study. Eighty percent of the patients (16 of 20) were stage IV and 20% (4 of 20) were stage III. Fifty percent (8 of 16) of the previously treated patients had a therapy-free time (TFT) ≥ 6 months and were in relapse; 50% (8 of 16), wilh TFT ≤ 1.5 months, had a progression during the therapy followed before being enrolled in this study. The results of the treatment after 1 month are analitically described in Table 1.
Seventy percent of the patients (14 of 20; 95% CI, 50 to 90%) had a partial response; 20% (4 of 20; 95% CI, 2.5% lo 37.5%) had stable disease and 10% (2 of 20) progressed on therapy. The response after 1 month in patients subdivided according to the previously received therapies is described in Table 2.
One hundred percent (4 of 4) of the previously untreated patients, 100% (8 of 8) of the patients with TFT ≥ 6 months and 100% of the patients with TFT ≤ 1.5 months non-responding or progressed during interferon therapy, had a partial response. Among the patients with TFT ≤ 15 months non-responding or progressed during single agent or combination chemotherapy, 66.6% (4 of 6; 95% CI, 28% to 104%) had stable disease and 33.3% (2 of 6) progressed. The response to the treatment prosecution is analitically described in Table 3.
Among the 14 patients that after 1 month had partial response, there was no disease progression (average follow-up time of 21 months, range, 7 to 25), and 50% of these patients (7 of 14; 95% CI, 24% to 76%) obtained a complete response. Among the 4 patients that after 1 month had stable disease, 25% (1 of 4) had a partial response and 75% (3 of 4) progressed (mean time to progression 14.3 months, range, 7 to 21). The response to the treatment prosecution in patients subdivided according to the previously received therapies is described in Table 4.
All the 20 patients were evaluable for the toxicity. The must common side effects were gastrointestinal signs. Twenty-five percent of the cases had diarrhea first grade (2 patients) or second grade (3 patients); 20% (4 patients) had nausea or grade 1 vomit, and 5 patients had loss of appetite and anorexia. These side effects did not require suspension of the therapy but only all adjustment of the dose of somatostatin. Drowsiness was observed in 20% (4 of 20) of patients, and required an adjustment of the daily schedule of administration of melatonin (20 mg/day were subdivided into three doses, instead of two, one of which at bedtime).
Twenty five percent of patients (5 of 20) had grade I hyperglycemia (≤ 160/dL) and 20% (4 of 20) showed ankle and/or face edema; in both these cases the dose of ACTH was reduced to 0.5 mg/week.
The low-grade NHL at advanced stage are stili incurable disease, whose treatment, just in consequence of these therapeutic limits, is very disputed, coexisting single agent chemotherapy, combination chemotherapy, combined radiotherapy-chemotherapy, high-dose intensive chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplanation or autologous blood progenitor cell transplantation.
In this study we evaluated toxicity and efficacy of a regimen, known as Di Bella’s multitherapy (DBM), resulting by the association of a chemotherapeutic agent, the cyclophosphamide, with other non-myelosuppressive substances (somatostatin, bromocriptin, retinoids, melatonin and ACTH).
The results we obtained - seventy percent of partial responses after 1 month, fifty percent of which became complete responses going on with the treatment - have been really better than the ones described with single agent chemiotherapy with alkylants, with wiich Kimby et al.  described 36% of global response with complete response in 5% of 132 previously untreated patients, or than the ones described by Witzig et al with somatostatin as single agent (36% of partial) response in 28 previously treated and untreated patients). This demonstrates the therapeutic superiority of such a pharmacological association versus its single costituents.
Moreover, the activity of the regimen depended on the kind of previous therapy and on the TFT. We documented 100% of global response among the previously untreated patients, the patients in first relapse with TFT ≥ 6 months and the patients with TFT ≤ 1.5 months non-responding or progressed during interferon therapy.
This result, better than others obtained with widely used chemotherapy regimens [Kimby et al described 60% of global response with CHOP in 127 previously untreated patients with lowgrade NHL stage III and IV] , and the very good tolerance of DBM (all the patients carried on the treatment at home, going on with their normal activities) suggest further clinical trials using this regimen in NHL.
With regard to this, the recent availability of depot formulations of somatostatin may allow a better feasibility of this regimen, where the main discomfort was in the daily SQ injection of somatostatin, especially if done with syringe pump.

patients received a combination of cyclophosphamide, somatostatin, bromocriptin, retinoids, melatonin and acth. cyclophosphamide was given orally at a dose of 75 mg/day (50 mg at 2 pm and 25 mg at 9 pm). somatostatin was administreted subcutaneously (sq) at a dose or 1.5 mg/day within 8 hours using a syringe pump. the administration started at least three hours after dinner and those patients who were psychologically unable to accept this type of administration received single sq injection of octreotide (0,5 mg/day) three hours after dinner. bromocriptin was given orally at a dose of 2.5 mg/day (1.25 mg at 2 pm and at 9 pm). retinods: all-trans retinoic acid, vitamin a palmitate and beta-carotene were administered orally, at 8 am, in 5 ml of vitamin e, respectively at doses of 5 mg, 5000 ui and 20 mg/day. melatonin was given orally at a dose of 20 mg/day (10 mg at 2 pm and at 9 pm). acth was administered intermuscularly at a dose of 1 mg/week.
all the patients were treated for at least one month. at the end of this period, those who had stable disease or partial response received additional two months of treatment, and the ones who responded after three months were treated for three months and more.
complete response or remission was defined as the complete regression of all the measurable lymphomatous lesions. partial response was defined as a ≥ 50% reduction in the sum of the products of the two diameters (the longest diameter and the one perpendicular to it) of one or more lesions lasting at least 4 weeks.
progression was defined by the increase in size of the pre-existing lesions of at least 25%, the onset of new lesions or the increase of spleen or liver of at least 2 centimeters due to lymphoma.
those patients who could not be clearly placed in any of the described categories were defined in stable condition. the assessment of the response was made after 1 month from the beginning of the treatment. such an assessment was carried on after another 2 months and, later, every 3 months in patients going on with the treatment.
twenty patients (ten males and ten females between 37 and 70 years old) with low-grade histology were included in this study, and all were assessable for toxicity and response. sixty percent (12 of 20) had centroblastic-centrocytic histology and 10 were previously treated. twenty percent (4 of 20) had centrocytic histology, the remaining twenty percent had lymphocytic histology and 3 of 4 in both groups had been treated prior to this study. eighty percent of the patients (16 of 20) were stage iv and 20% (4 of 20) were stage iii. fifty percent (8 of 16) of the previously treated patients had a therapy-free time (tft) ≥ 6 months and were in relapse; 50% (8 of 16), wilh tft ≤ 1.5 months, had a progression during the therapy followed before being enrolled in this study. the results of the treatment after 1 month are analitically described in table 1.
seventy percent of the patients (14 of 20; 95% ci, 50 to 90%) had a partial response; 20% (4 of 20; 95% ci, 2.5% lo 37.5%) had stable disease and 10% (2 of 20) progressed on therapy. the response after 1 month in patients subdivided according to the previously received therapies is described in table 2.
one hundred percent (4 of 4) of the previously untreated patients, 100% (8 of 8) of the patients with tft ≥ 6 months and 100% of the patients with tft ≤ 1.5 months non-responding or progressed during interferon therapy, had a partial response. among the patients with tft ≤ 15 months non-responding or progressed during single agent or combination chemotherapy, 66.6% (4 of 6; 95% ci, 28% to 104%) had stable disease and 33.3% (2 of 6) progressed. the response to the treatment prosecution is analitically described in table 3.
among the 14 patients that after 1 month had partial response, there was no disease progression (average follow-up time of 21 months, range, 7 to 25), and 50% of these patients (7 of 14; 95% ci, 24% to 76%) obtained a complete response. among the 4 patients that after 1 month had stable disease, 25% (1 of 4) had a partial response and 75% (3 of 4) progressed (mean time to progression 14.3 months, range, 7 to 21). the response to the treatment prosecution in patients subdivided according to the previously received therapies is described in table 4.
all the 20 patients were evaluable for the toxicity. the must common side effects were gastrointestinal signs. twenty-five percent of the cases had diarrhea first grade (2 patients) or second grade (3 patients); 20% (4 patients) had nausea or grade 1 vomit, and 5 patients had loss of appetite and anorexia. these side effects did not require suspension of the therapy but only all adjustment of the dose of somatostatin. drowsiness was observed in 20% (4 of 20) of patients, and required an adjustment of the daily schedule of administration of melatonin (20 mg/day were subdivided into three doses, instead of two, one of which at bedtime).
twenty five percent of patients (5 of 20) had grade i hyperglycemia (≤ 160/dl) and 20% (4 of 20) showed ankle and/or face edema; in both these cases the dose of acth was reduced to 0.5 mg/week.
the low-grade nhl at advanced stage are stili incurable disease, whose treatment, just in consequence of these therapeutic limits, is very disputed, coexisting single agent chemotherapy, combination chemotherapy, combined radiotherapy-chemotherapy, high-dose intensive chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplanation or autologous blood progenitor cell transplantation.
in this study we evaluated toxicity and efficacy of a regimen, known as di bella’s multitherapy (dbm), resulting by the association of a chemotherapeutic agent, the cyclophosphamide, with other non-myelosuppressive substances (somatostatin, bromocriptin, retinoids, melatonin and acth).
the results we obtained - seventy percent of partial responses after 1 month, fifty percent of which became complete responses going on with the treatment - have been really better than the ones described with single agent chemiotherapy with alkylants, with wiich kimby et al.  described 36% of global response with complete response in 5% of 132 previously untreated patients, or than the ones described by witzig et al with somatostatin as single agent (36% of partial) response in 28 previously treated and untreated patients). this demonstrates the therapeutic superiority of such a pharmacological association versus its single costituents.
moreover, the activity of the regimen depended on the kind of previous therapy and on the tft. we documented 100% of global response among the previously untreated patients, the patients in first relapse with tft ≥ 6 months and the patients with tft ≤ 1.5 months non-responding or progressed during interferon therapy.
this result, better than others obtained with widely used chemotherapy regimens [kimby et al described 60% of global response with chop in 127 previously untreated patients with lowgrade nhl stage iii and iv] , and the very good tolerance of dbm (all the patients carried on the treatment at home, going on with their normal activities) suggest further clinical trials using this regimen in nhl.
with regard to this, the recent availability of depot formulations of somatostatin may allow a better feasibility of this regimen, where the main discomfort was in the daily sq injection of somatostatin, especially if done with syringe pump.

Today, I called Polish Prime Minister Tusk to express Michelle's and my deepest condolences to the people of Poland on the tragic deaths this morning of President Lech Kaczynski, First Lady Maria Kaczynski, and all who were traveling with them to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kaczynski family, the loved ones of those killed in this tragic plane crash, and the Polish nation.
"I think the whole world will be saddened and in sorrow as a result of the tragic death in a plane crash of President Kaczynski and his wife Maria and the party that were with them," British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said. "We know the difficulties that Poland has gone through, the sacrifices that he himself made as part of the Solidarity movement. We know the contribution he made to the independence and the freedom of Poland."
"On this difficult day the people of Russia stand with the Polish people," Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel recalled her meetings with Kaczynski and said that "we always found a result in the end."
"I knew that his whole life had been dedicated to the fight for the freedom of Poland and the freedom of Europe," she said.
"We will miss Lech Kaczynski in Germany too," she said. "Germany is mourning today with the whole Polish people."
French President Nicolas Sarkozy in a statement paid tribute to Kaczynski. "Lech Kaczynski devoted his life to his country. A tireless defender of the ideas in which he believed, he always battled with conviction for the values that founded his entry into politics: democracy, liberty and the fight against totalitarianism," Sarkozy said.
Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi said "It is a grave loss that has stricken a friendly country and in which I am sharing in with my heart."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Kaczynski had "served his country and people with distinction and conviction, and was deservedly respected internationally. That he died en route to an event marking a new level of reconciliation between Poland and Russia is particularly poignant."
Pope Benedict XVI said in a condolence message that he learned of the deaths with "deep pain" and that he wanted to assure the Polish people of his "spiritual closeness" in this moment.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said, "I have worked very closely with President Kaczynski, in a spirit of loyalty, and I respected in him a very determined Polish patriot who at the same time was very committed to our European Union and to the values of freedom and solidarity.
"The European Commission joins me in this moment in the expression of sympathy and tribute."
Catherine Ashton, the EU's security and foreign affairs chief, spoke by telephone Saturday with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski to express her condolences.
She told him, "I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to the people of Poland and express our solidarity with you at this very difficult and sad time. In particular, I want to express my sympathies to the family and friends of those who died."
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen: "On behalf of all of NATO, and myself personally, I express my most profound condolences to the people of Poland, and to the families of President and Mrs Kaczynski and all those who have died in this terrible accident. This is a tragedy for them and for Poland. My thoughts are with them today."
"Ukraine has learned about the plane crash ... with great sorrow and inexpressible pain," Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych said in a statement. "We share the deep pain of a loss that hit the friendly Polish people and mourn together with the families of the dead."
Former President George W. Bush said in a statement that he's deeply saddened by the news of Kaczynski's death. He and former First Lady Laura Bush have fond memories of visits with Kaczynski and his wife, Bush said, and want to express their condolences to the families of all the people killed in the crash.
"President Kaczynski, as a dedicated and honorable leader who assiduously defended the rights of his country, will without a doubt live in the hearts of all Polish people while all those who had come to know him will remember him with the utmost respect," Cyprus President Dimitris Christofias said in a letter to Poland's acting President Bronislaw Komorowski.

Gain a thoroughly enjoyable introduction to Kyoto’s food culture with this small-group guided tour for the city’s best eating spots. Start at the deliciously vast 400-year-old Nishiki Market, nicknamed 'Kyoto's Kitchen,' where over 130 food shops and stalls will beckon your taste buds. Stroll through the Market and learn about its history and taste the various dishes unique to Kyoto including: Tofu Skin, rice ball, fried fish cakes, Japanese pike conger eel, Japanese omelet and Sake.
Then rest your appetite by visiting a nearby shrine dedicated to the God of Education.
Then head for Pontocho Street; To arrive here, we must cross through Teramachi Street, Shijo Street and Kiyamachi Street- all of which will enable you to immerse in modern Japanese culture. Pontocho street is very special, even for natives, because it is one out of the five Geisha districts in Kyoto. From here, you will walk across the majestic Kamo river and taste local sweets.
Then we will lead you to Gion district (which is also another Geisha area). The guide will take you out of mainstream hustle and bustle of crowded streets and into photogenic and hidden soft spots. Not only will be educated about the Geisha tradition (we call them Maiko or Geiko), you may even meet one, if you're lucky enough.
As a final stop we will take a local train and head to Famous Fushimi Inari shrine (Thousand of red Torii gate). During the tour you can talk and discuss about your trip with your local guide.
Please arrive by 10:45 am @in front of Kyoto Daimaru department for a prompt departure at 11:00 AM.
*It's in front of the "Shijo Takakura bus stop" along main big Shijo-dori street.
*We have two Daimaru department. This is NOT FUJI Daimaru.
*Please be careful, if you come by taxi.
・If you would like to do PRIVATE tour, please send inquiry to us.
COME HUNGRY! This is a real food tour. Going to a market like this can be so overwhelming what to try, what exactly are you eating, and this tour goes to so many store fronts to learn about the local food. We try Japanese omelet (which is different than in Tokyo), Sake, sweet, rice ball, fish cake, and soy milk donuts (which were my favorite) and tofu skin. Going through this tour helped me throughout the rest of the my stay in Kyoto. From there, we went to Fushimi Inari. I enjoyed going there with a guide just to learn the history of the shrines and some of the local customs. Thank you so much for an amazing tour!!!
