Jack, a poor boy, traded his family's cow for magic beans which his mother threw out the window. The beans grew into a giant beanstalk that Jack climbed to a castle in the sky. Inside, Jack stole a singing harp and golden egg-laying hen from a sleeping giant. The harp cried out and woke the giant, who chased Jack down the beanstalk. Jack's mother chopped down the beanstalk and the giant fell, allowing Jack and his mother to live happily ever after.

This is a story about a very hungry caterpillar which later becomes a beautiful butterfly. This story is in the Intensive English program Grade 1. May other Primary teachers find this a bit helpful in their teaching very young kids. Many thanks to the composer Mr.Yanni, one of my favorite composers. And I would like to say thanks to all authors of the pictures I used in this presentation. Thank you very much and best wishes to You all!

Summary: A boy sells trades his old milk cow to an old man for some magic seeds. The old man promises Jack he'll be rich. Jack climbs up the beanstalk and finds two golden eggs. He hears a loud sound and then climbs back down. What happens next?

Identifying Tumor Permeability Heterogeneity with MRI Contrast AgentsMike Aref
We tested the hypothesis that macromolecular agents will have a greater sensitivity in identifying areas of high regional mammary tumor permeability-surface area products than low molecular weight agents. New modalities such as ultrasound, MRI, and nuclear medicine may improve breast cancer diagnosis(1). MRI can detect small tumors, 1 mm, with nearly 100% sensitivity(2) and can differentiate benign from malignant tumors with an accuracy of only 30 to 40%(3). A need exists for more accurately characterizing tumor specificity with MR mammography. Dynamic contrast enhanced MR mammography shows promise, and is based on differences in capillary density. Only a subset of tumor cells acquire angiogenic activity and this results in heterogeneous capillary density and surface area(4). High regional capillary density indicates poor prognosis(5). Tumor secreted factors induce angiogenesis, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is necessary for metastasis and regions high in VEGF exhibit hyperpermeability(6). Some of the physiological byproducts of angiogenesis regulate the extraction of an agent by a tumor from the blood. This extraction depends on (a) capillary surface area, S, (b) capillary permeability, P, (c) capillary blood flow, F, (d) transit time of the agent through the tumor interstitium, and (e) the plasma half-life, T1/2 DIST(7, 8). By imaging the time evolution of a contrast agent in the lesion, one can model agent extraction. Knowing the plasma half-life of an agent and regional blood flow provides a measure of the capillary surface area and permeability. Such knowledge may provide a means of differentiating benign from malignant tumors.
