USAT 's "Money" section front points to a Y2K-related panic point few have discussed before now: a possible year-end-driven gas crunch that could, in the paper's words, "make lines at ATM machines and supermarket checkouts seem tame by comparison."
The state has spent, says the AP, millions in an effort to make its computers Y2K-compliant.
The cyclooxygenase pathway and NSAIDs have been implicated in pancreatic carcinogenesis, as elevated levels of COX-2 mRNA and protein have been detected in pancreatic carcinomas relative to histologically normal cells [ 14 15 16 17 18 19 ] . Further, both aspirin [ 20 21 22 ] and other NSAIDs [ 19 ] have been shown to inhibit pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in vitro . Recent studies have also reported an association between oncogenic ras and COX-2 expression [ 23 24 ] . Since pancreatic tumors tend to exhibit a high frequency of K- ras mutations [ 25 ] , the relationship between the K- ras oncogene and COX-2 should be explored further in vivo.
Many other associated mutation or amplification of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes including p53, K-ras, N-ras and N-myc, etc. are frequently seen, but the roles of these gene mutations/amplifications in pathogenesis of the tumor remain largely unclear [ 4 ] ; [ 5 ] . The alveolar subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma, however, is consistently associated with two common chromosomal translocations.
The JNK pathway is involved in apoptosis [ 13 ] , arginine vasopressin-induced increases in smooth muscle α-actin in vascular smooth muscle cells [ 14 ] as well as in phosphorylation of transcription factors c-jun, ATF-2 and ELK-1 and phosphorylation of Na-K-2CI cotransporter [ 15 ] . The p38 pathway has been implicated in apoptosis [ 16 ] , neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injury [ 17 ] as well as angiotensin ll-induced contraction in vascular smooth muscle [ 18 ] .
