I'm a GM man thru and thru although this is the 1st LS motor I've had, let alone with AFM (active fuel management). Loved the styling, interior layout, comfort and value (85k miles, super clean for $6,200). Drove for a month without a problem but as I soon came to find out, GM did not have the bugs out of the TPM system and I was eating a $3,500 bill to replace the lifters and head/exhaust manifold ect gaskets needed to get at the lifters. The system drops 4 cylinders when not under load with 4 lifters designed to shut when activated.

Should the system malfunction, you will wipe out your lifters and possible damage your camshaft. GM did a recall on this and did not perfect the TPM until 2011. Play it safe and have a programmer (bullydog or just go to tuner shop) and have the TPM disabled.

The slight loss of MPG will hardly be noticed when compared to eating a $3,500-$5,500 repair bill and renting a car. Otherwise its a tiptop SUV that should last you many years with basic maintenance. This was our first time ever purchasing a new car.

It seemed daunting at first and we didn't really know what to expect. However, I want to specifically commend Ms. Shelly Karl, who greeted us with a very friendly and welcoming hospitality. She was very patient in showing my husband and I various options and understanding our ordeal.

She even went above and beyond by going the extra mile to accommodate us and guide us as to what we needed to complete the purchase process. I must say she truly is a people's person and made it less daunting. Thank you Ms. Shelly for being my sales consultant.

You were awesome! I also want to thank Mr. Craig Mulligan, one of the financial managers, for explaining thoroughly each aspect of the financial deal and being able to obtain a great deal for us first time buyers.

Gliomas are highly aggressive and accompanied by numerous microglia/macrophages (MG/MP) in and about the tumor. Little is known about what MG/MP do in this setting, or whether modulating MG/MP activation might affect glioma progression. Here, we used a glioma-microglia in culture system to establish the effects the tumor and microglia have on each other. We assessed glioma progression in vivo after MG/MP ablation or in the setting of exaggerated MG/MP activation. We show that glioma cells activate microglia but inhibit their phagocytic activities. Local ablation of MG/MP in vivo decreased tumor size and improved survival curves. Conversely, pharmacological activation of MG/MP increased glioma size through stimulating tumor proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis.

In agreement with recent reports, expression of the chemokine CCL21 is enhanced after MG/MP activation and correlates with tumor growth. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that inhibition of MG/MP activation may constitute a new and effective contribution towards suppressing glioma proliferation. Introduction Malignant gliomas are primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors arising from glial cells and are one of the deadliest cancers - median survival time is one year even with aggressive surgical resection combined with irradiation and chemotherapy. Although many therapeutic approaches have been explored, there has been no major improvement in survival over the last 30 years (; ). Gliomas are infiltrated by MG/MP, and the extent of MG/MP infiltration correlates positively with malignancy (;; ). Microglia are capable of antigen presentation to T cells patrolling the CNS ().

Upon injury, microglia undergo activation characterized by changes in morphology, gene expression, proliferation, phagocytic capacity, and migration towards the injury site (; ). The role of MG/MP in glioma progression remains controversial.

Studies reported that the immune defensive functions of glioma-infiltrating MG/MP (GIMs) are compromised. Moreover, GIMs have been proposed to promote glioma growth by secreting growth factors, immune-suppressive cytokines and angiogenic factors (;;;;; ), thus stimulating interest in therapies that modulate MG/MP activity/function. However, such approaches yielded conflicting results: injection of CpG-containing oligonucleotides, which stimulate MG/MP, induced glioma apoptosis and prolonged survival times of tumor-bearing animals in one report, whereas the same approach caused increased animal tumor size in others (; ). Here we investigate the consequences of interaction of MG/MP and glioma cells in culture using MG/MP activation and glioma cell proliferation as functional endpoints. We examine glioma progression in a mouse model using pharmacogenetics to locally ablate MG/MP, and a pharmacological approach to exaggerate MG/MP activation.
