Abstract B20: Geospatial analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma and its risk factors in Texas (1995-2010)
Conclusion: Several PRFs clustered spatially and varied geographically with HCC rates, particularly in areas with low NHW/high Hispanic populations and counties along the South TX/Mexico border. HIV's significant spatial correlation with HCC is important, as co-infection with known HCC risk factor Hepatitis C virus (HCV) accelerates liver fibrosis development vs. HCV infection alone. This study highlights the need for interventions targeted to multiple HCC PRFs including EAC and HIV, particularly in South TX.Citation Format: Laura Manuel, Edgar Munoz, Dorothy Long Parma, Amelie Ramirez.

Primary Care Physician Preferences and Perspectives on Long-Term Care of Survivors of Hematologic Malignancies and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Survivors of heme malignancies/HCT are at risk for late complications. Their long-term follow-up requires close partnership between specialty cancer centers and PCPs. We surveyed PCPs at our institution to identify perceived barriers and practices in caring for these survivors. A web-based 40-item survey was administered to 256 PCPs. Overall response rate was 23% (N=59); 78% were internal medicine and 22% were family practice physicians. Median time since graduation from medical school was 16 years.

Abstract B70: Characteristics, risk perception, and predictors of oral cancer knowledge among drag racers and their fans
Conclusion and Relevance: There is a high smoking rate among drag racers and fans, but oral cancer knowledge is very low, especially among African Americans and those with limited education. Understanding predictors of oral cancer knowledge is important in future design of educational interventions specifically targeted towards this high-risk group.Citation Format: Nosayaba Osazuwa-Peters, Adnan S.

Investigating the health care delivery system in Japan and reviewing the local public hospital reform
Xing Zhang, Tatsuo Oyama National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, Tokyo, Japan Abstract: Japan's health care system is considered one of the best health care systems in the world. Hospitals are one of the most important health care resources in Japan. As such, we investigate Japanese hospitals from various viewpoints, including their roles, ownership, regional distribution, and characteristics with respect to the number of beds, staff, doctors, and financial performance. Applying a multivariate analysis and regression model techniques, we show the functional differences between urban populated prefectures and re...

The effects of concomitant GERD, dyspepsia, and rhinosinusitis on asthma symptoms and FeNO in asthmatic patients taking controller medications
Conclusion: Daytime phlegm and losing the sense of smell suggest that eosinophilic airway inflammation persists, despite anti-inflammatory therapy, in patients with asthma. Although rhinitis and GERD made the subjective symptoms of asthma worse, they did not seem to enhance eosinophilic airway inflammation. Keywords: asthma symptoms, FeNO, rhinosinusitis, GERD, dyspepsia

Identification and prioritization of candidate genes for symptom variability in breast cancer survivors based on disease characteristics at the cellular level
Theresa A Koleck,1 Yvette P Conley2 1School of Nursing, 2Department of Human Genetics, School of Nursing and Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA Abstract: Research is beginning to suggest that the presence and/or severity of symptoms reported by breast cancer survivors may be associated with disease-related factors of cancer. In this article, we present a novel approach to the identification and prioritization of biologically plausible candidate genes to investigate relationships between genomic variation and symptom variability in breast cancer survivors. Cognitive dysfunction i...

Shelterin complex in telomere protection: recent insights and pathological significance
Sampada Kalan, Diego Loayza Department of Biological Sciences, Hunter College, and Graduate Center of the City University of New York, NY, USA Abstract: Telomeres are essential for chromosome integrity and stability. The telomerase complex is the reverse transcriptase required for the addition of telomeric repeats at chromosome ends and is essential for their maintenance. The enzyme is expressed in over 80% of tumors and, indeed, telomerase is one of the genetic elements required for cellular transformation. In addition, telomeres recruit complexes called shelterin and the CTC1-STN1-TEN1 (CST) complex, which exhibit a high...
