133 Background: GC is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and has an even higher incidence rate in China. The incidence rate of GC is rising in young pts (≤ 40 years). Previous studies suggested that the percentage of female pts was higher in young pts than that in older pts. The clinical characters and potential prognostic factors have not been well described for young female pts with metastatic GC. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for all GC pts treated at our institution from 1995 to 2012. Pt demographics, clinical characters, treatment related information and survival data were collected. Kaplan-Meier test was used for the survival analysis. Cox regression was conducted for uni- and multi-variate analysis. Results: In total, 1,862 pts with histologically confirmed GC were identified. Among these pts, 11.3% were young pts when first diagnosed. The male to female ratio was 2.76:1 for the whole group and 1:1.02 for young pts. Ninety-eight female pts were ≤ 40 years when diagnosed of metastatic GC. For this group, median age was 35 years (range: 19-40 years). Seventy-one (72.4%) had > 1 metastatic sites, and 85 (86.7%) received palliative chemotherapy. The median overall survival (OS) was 14.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 11.8-18.0 months). Seventy-six (77.6%) pts had intact primary tumor when diagnosed of metastatic disease. Compared to 22 pts who relapsed after radical surgery, OS was similar for pts presented with de novo metastatic disease (Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.03, 95% CI: 0.55 to 1.92, P= 0.9). Of these 76 pts, 36 underwent palliative gastric resection, which was associated with improved OS (15.3 vs. 9.0 months; HR 0.37, 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.74, P = 0.003). Forty-six (46.9%) pts had ovarian metastasis, and 20 had oophorectomy. Palliative oophorectomy was associated with significantly improved OS (36.6 vs. 12.4 months, HR 0.34, 95% CI: 0.14 to 0.80, P = 0.013). Conclusions: There was an increased ratio of females in young GC pts. In young female pts with metastatic GC, palliative resection of gastric primary and ovarian metastasis were associated with significantly improved OS, and should be considered in appropriate pts.

Abstract. Most instruments for the assessment of disordered eating were developed and validated in young female samples. However, they are often used in heterogeneous general population samples. Therefore, brief instruments of disordered eating should assess the severity of disordered eating equally well between individuals with different gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and socioeconomic status (SES). Differential item functioning (DIF) of two brief instruments of disordered eating (SCOFF, Eating Attitudes Test [EAT-8]) was modeled in a representative sample of the German population ( N = 2,527) using a multigroup item response theory (IRT) and a multiple-indicator multiple-cause (MIMIC) structural equation model (SEM) approach. No DIF by age was found in both questionnaires. Three items of the EAT-8 showed DIF across gender, indicating that females are more likely to agree than males, given the same severity of disordered eating. One item of the EAT-8 revealed slight DIF by BMI. DIF with respect to the SCOFF seemed to be negligible. Both questionnaires are equally fair across people with different age and SES. The DIF by gender that we found with respect to the EAT-8 as screening instrument may be also reflected in the use of different cutoff values for men and women. In general, both brief instruments assessing disordered eating revealed their strengths and limitations concerning test fairness for different groups.

SummaryThe holding power and holding power per mm bone width of 4.5 mm and 5.5 mm cortical and 6.5 mm cancellous orthopaedic screws were obtained by tensile load-to-failure studies in excised metacarpal and metatarsal bones of young female Holstein calves. Holding power and holding power per mm bone width of 6.5 mm orthopaedic screws were significantly greater than those of 4.5 and 5.5 mm orthopaedic screws in the diaphysis and metaphysis. Significant differences were not detected between holding power and holding power per mm bone width of 4.5 and 5.5 mm orthopaedic screws. The holding power was not different between metacarpi and metatarsi. The limiting factor in all tests of holding power was the shear strength of the bone. We found that 6.5 mm orthopaedic screws have the greatest holding power in the metacarpal and metatarsal bones of young calves.This study compares the holding power of 4.5 mm and 5.5 mm cortical and 6.5 mm cancellous orthopaedic screws in excised metacarpal and metatarsal bones from young female Holstein calves. We found that 6.5 mm orthopaedic screws have the greatest holding power.

Young female Black rat (Rattus rattus), were administered monthly long acting steroid contraceptive to induce hypertriglyceridemia. It was observed that by 3 weeks of the second injection of estrogen containing mixed type of contraceptive, female rats developed consistent and frank hyperglyceridemia . TG in the treated rats was 195.8 ± 7.44 mg /100 ml as compared to 91.5 ± 6.27 mg/100ml in plasma of the control group.

The Individual

According to the ‘Individual Psychology’ of Alfred Adler (1870–1937), Freud's contemporary and rival, everyone seeks superiority. But only those who can adapt their aspirations to meet the needs of others find fulfilment. Children who are rejected or pampered are so desperate for superiority that they fail to develop social feeling, and endanger themselves and society. This article argues that Mahy's realistic novels invite Adlerian interpretation. It examines the character of Hero, the elective mute who is the narrator-protagonist of The Other Side of Silence (1995) , in terms of her experience of rejection. The novel as a whole, it is suggested, stresses the destructiveness of the neurotically driven quest for superiority. Turning to Mahy's supernatural romances, the article considers novels that might seem to resist the Adlerian template. Focusing, in particular, on the young female protagonists of The Haunting (1982) and The Changeover (1984), it points to the ways in which their magical power is utilised for the sake of others. It concludes with the suggestion that the triumph of Mahy's protagonists lies not so much in their generally celebrated ‘empowerment’, as in their transcendence of the goal of superiority for its own sake.
