EnhancedAnticancerActivity and Increased HypercalcemicToxicity in aMouseXenograft Modelof ProstateCancer

BACKGROUND. The potential role of vitamin D and soy in prostate cancer (PCa) prevention/treatment has gained much attention in recent years. In this study, we evaluated the anticancer activity of calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, dietary soy, and their combinations in a mouse model of PCa. METHODS. Athymic male nude mice bearing PC-3 human PCa xenografts received diets containing 10 or 20 kcal% soy, calcitriol injections, or a combination of dietary soy and calcitriol. Changes in tumor growth, serum levels of 1,25(OH)2D and calcium, and regulation of tumor gene expression were examined. RESULTS. The combination treatments resulted in substantially greater inhibition of tumor growth than either agent alone. Soy diets alone caused a modest elevation in serum 1,25(OH)2D, whereas the calcitriol-soy combinations led to substantially elevated serum 1,25(OH)2D, hypercalcemia, and in some cases lethal toxicity. The combinations enhanced calcitriol activity in regulating target gene expression, including greater up-regulation of anti-proliferative (p21, IGFBP-3) and pro-apoptotic (Bax) genes, increased inhibition of antiapoptotic (Bcl-2) and cell cycle promoting (cyclin D1) genes, and suppression of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and signaling (COX-2, 15-PGDH, PG receptors). Increases in serum calcium were accompanied by elevated expression of intestinal calcium absorption genes (TRPV6, calbindin-9k). CONCLUSIONS. Soy increases the bioavailability of endogenous and administered calcitriol, thereby enhancing its anticancer effects and risk of hypercalcemia. Since both agents are easily available as dietary supplements, the increased potential for hypercalcemic toxicity becomes an important factor when considering the combined use of vitamin D and soy in PCa therapy.

Influence of pasture allowance on the composition and cheese-yielding potential of milk.

Effects of pasture allowance on the yield, composition and cheese-yielding potential of milk were investigated using 48 Friesian cows in crossover experiments during spring (~60 days after calving) and summer (~180 days after calving). All cows were subjected to two nutritional treatments: ad lib. grazing (pasture allowance >45 kg DM/cow/day) and restricted grazing (16–18 kg DM/cow/day). Milk samples were collected from each cow on the final day of each treatment period and analysed for a range of components. Pasture dry matter intakes (DMI) during treatment periods were determined using the n-alkane technique. Increasing pasture allowance resulted in increased DMI. Cows grazing ad lib. had higher milk yields, concentrations of protein (spring only), casein, whey protein (spring only), casein:whey protein ratio (summer only), α -casein, β-casein and urea, but lower concentrations of serum albumin and immunoglobulin, than cows grazing a restricted pasture allowance. Nutritional effects on milk composition were greatest in spring, at which time theoretical Cheddar cheese yields were greater for milk from cows grazing ad lib. than restricted cows. Concentrations of some milk components were correlated with DMI of cows. These results provide evidence that on-farm management practices can affect milk composition and the potential yield of dairy products. Maintaining an adequate pasture allowance for dairy cows is important not only to maximise milk production, but also to optimise the manufacturing potential of milk.
In situ grazing rates and daily ration of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba feeding on phytoplankton at the Antarctic Polar Front and the Marginal Ice Zone

Measurements of krill gut pigment content, evacuation rates and digestive efficiency were obtained during January 1993 in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, between the Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) and the Polar Front Zone (PFZ). These \Yere combined with net and acoustically derived abundance and biomass data to estimate the in situ grazing of Euphausia superba on the phytoplankton assemblages. Individual ingestion rates of krill were 1.5 to 3 times higher than rates previously obtained with in vitro incubations. Gut pigment levels and evacuation rates varied in the range of 0.01 to 10 pg chlorophyll a equivalents (chl a equiv.) ind:' and 0.10 to 0.31 h-', respectively. Pigment losses to non-fluorescing products during digestion were very high, in the range of 67 to 90'): of the total pigment ingested, indicating that some of the gut pigment levels previously obtained w~thou t correction foldigestive losses may have been underestimated by up to an order of magn~tude . Krill population ~ m p a c t on the phytoplankton stock exhibited a large variability, in the range of 0.0014 to 2.68% of total Integrated chlorophyll a and 0.023 to 50.8% of primary production consumed per day. The largest variations in impact levels were associated with the method used to estimate krill abundance and biomass, with net derived estimates being much lower (by as much as 2 orders of magnitude) than those obtained from acoustic data. Daily carbon rations obtained from our measurements of pigment ingestion rates are among the lowest recorded for E. superba during the summer season and, with 1 exception, ranged between 0.15 and 1.68% of body carbon per day. A daily ration of -13% body carbon was recorded only at 1 station in the MIZ which exhibited a dense phytoplankton bloom of -3 5 1-19 chl 1-' On the basis of the energetic requirements of the sununer krill population, it is suggested that throughout the PFZ and the MIZ E. superba must consume a much larger proportion of heterotrophic carbon than prev~ously supposed. Gut content analysis suggests that this is achieved by predation on inesoand microzooplankton.
KILOPARSEC-SCALE SIMULATIONS OF STAR FORMATION IN DISK GALAXIES. I. THE UNMAGNETIZED AND ZERO-FEEDBACK LIMIT

We present hydrodynamic simulations of the evolution of self-gravitating dense gas on scales of 1 kpc down to ≲ parsec in a galactic disk, designed to study dense clump formation from giant molecular clouds (GMCs). These structures are expected to be the precursors to star clusters and this process may be the rate limiting step controlling star formation rates in galactic systems as described by the Kennicutt–Schmidt relation. We follow the thermal evolution of the gas down to ∼5 K using extinction-dependent heating and cooling functions. We do not yet include magnetic fields or localized stellar feedback, so the evolution of the GMCs and clumps is determined solely by self-gravity balanced by thermal and turbulent pressure support and the large-scale galactic shear. While cloud structures and densities change significantly during the simulation, GMC virial parameters remain mostly above unity for timescales exceeding the free-fall time of GMCs indicating that energy from galactic shear and large-scale cloud motions continuously cascades down to and within the GMCs. We implement star formation at a slow, inefficient rate of 2% per local free-fall time, but even this yields global star formation rates that are about two orders of magnitude larger than the observed Kennicutt–Schmidt relation due to overproduction of dense gas clumps. We expect a combination of magnetic support and localized stellar feedback is required to inhibit dense clump formation to ∼1% of the rate that results from the nonmagnetic, zero-feedback limit.
Methodologic Issues in Studies of Associations between Maternal Cigarette Smoking and CHD

6 months of a newborn screening pilot program at the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory for Pompe disease, Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, and mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) using dried blood spots and a digital microfluidics enzyme detection system. The system demonstrated acceptably low false positives, and no missed cases were identified. After screening 43 700 newborn dried blood spots, 27 cases were confirmed with 1 of the 4 lysosomal storage disorders with incidence rates higher than previously reported for Pompe disease, Gaucher disease, and MPS I. Other states have begun newborn screening programs for lysosomal storage disorders, notably New York State, which began screening for Krabbe disease in 2006. Bone marrow transplantation in infancy is the only known effective treatment for this severe neuronopathic disease. Outcomes of the Krabbe screening program have not yet been formally reported but early reports suggest that even infants transplanted at 1 month of age have some neuronopathic sequelae. Illinois has begun to screen for Pompe disease, Krabbe, MPS I, Gaucher disease, Fabry disease, and Niemann-Pick disease, and a few other states are considering similar screening programs. Newborn screening for lysosomal storage disorders raises a number of difficult issues for which there are no simple solutions. The incidence of affected patients appears to be significantly more frequent in the Missouri pilot than expected leading to the concern that some patients who were enzymatically deficient may have mild or late-onset disease. Lysosomal storage disorders are highly clinically variable between patients, and mutation analysis does not adequately predict phenotype in many cases. The timing of ERT therapy

Thermodynamic stability of PFOS : M 06-2 X and B 3 LYP comparison

The thermodynamic stability in the gas phase, water and octanol of the neutral and anionic forms of the 89 PFOS isomers is studied at the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory using the SMD solvation model. The structure–stability relationship is explored and compared to previous B3LYP calculations. This study aims to improve the thermodynamic data for these compounds using a functional that is expected to overcome known deficiencies of the B3LYP functional when considering medium-range electron correlation effects. The M06-2X results place emphasis on the substitution patterns at the head and tail ends of the molecule as a factor in stability, while substitution patterns on the middle carbons tend to decrease stability. Analysis of the electron density revealed a subtle balance between weak interactions in these perfluorinated compounds. M06-2X ranks highly-substituted isomers as more stable than B3LYP did, and ranks linear isomers quite low in relative stability compared to B3LYP. It has been shown that the difference in stability for these compounds is mostly enthalpic, with small entropy changes between the two functionals for most compounds. 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Statistical Inference on Random Graphs

The main subject for this dissertation is statistical analysis of graphs. There are some general methodological musings, but the work focuses mostly on a specific problem: measuring prefential attachment in power-law degree distribution graphs and all the considerations that are involved. Namely, developing generating models and finding likelihood values for graphs. There is also heavy focus on uniform distribution over a class of graphs with a fixed degree sequence, which leads to the birth of a model where a graph’s likelihood depends solely on its degree sequence.
MOLECULAR GAS AND STAR-FORMATION PROPERTIES IN THE CENTRAL AND BAR REGIONS OF NGC 6946

In this work, we investigate the molecular gas and star-formation properties in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 6946 using multiple molecular lines and star-formation tracers. A high-resolution image (100 pc) of 13CO (1–0) is created for the inner 2 kpc disk by the single-dish Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45 m telescope and interferometer Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy, including the central region (nuclear ring and bar) and the offset ridges of the primary bar. Single-dish HCN (1–0) observations were also made to constrain the amount of dense gas. The physical properties of molecular gas are inferred from (1) the large velocity gradient calculations using our observations and archival 12CO (1–0), 12CO(2–1) data, (2) the dense gas fraction suggested by the luminosity ratio of HCN to 12CO (1–0), and (3) the infrared color. The results show that the molecular gas in the central region is warmer and denser than that of the offset ridges. The dense gas fraction of the central region is similar to that of luminous infrared galaxies/ultraluminous infrared galaxies, whereas the offset ridges are close to the global average of normal galaxies. The coolest and least-dense region is found in a spiral-like structure, which was misunderstood to be part of the southern primary bar in previous low-resolution observations. The star-formation efficiency (SFE) changes by about five times in the inner disk. The variation of SFE agrees with the prediction in terms of star formation regulated by the galactic bar. We find a consistency between the star-forming region and the temperature inferred by the infrared color, suggesting that the distribution of subkiloparsec-scale temperature is driven by star formation.
Understanding the central kinematics of globular clusters with simulated integrated-light IFU observations

The detection of intermediate mass black holes in the centres of globular clusters is highly controversial, as complementary observational methods often deliver significantly different results. In order to understand these discrepancies, we develop a procedure to simulate integral field unit (IFU) observations of globular clusters: Simulating IFU Star Cluster Observations (SISCO). The input of our software are realistic dynamical models of globular clusters that are then converted in a spectral data cube. We apply SISCO to Monte Carlo cluster simulations from Downing et al. (2010), with a realistic number of stars and concentrations. Using independent realisations of a given simulation we are able to quantify the stochasticity intrinsic to the problem of observing a partially resolved stellar population with integrated-light spectroscopy. We show that the luminosity-weighted IFU observations can be strongly biased by the presence of a few bright stars that introduce a scatter in the velocity dispersion measurements up to ~40% around the expected value, preventing any sound assessment of the central kinematic and a sensible interpretation of the presence/absence of an intermediate mass black hole. Moreover, we illustrate that, in our mock IFU observations, the average kinematic tracer has a mass of ~0.75 M�sun, only slightly lower than the mass of the typical stars examined in studies of resolved line-of-sight velocities of giant stars. Finally, in order to recover unbiased kinematic measurements we test different masking techniques that allow us to remove the spaxels dominated by bright stars, bringing the scatter down to a level of only a few percent. The application of SISCO will allow to investigate state-of-the-art simulations as realistic observations.
THINGS about MOND

We present an analysis of 12 high-resolution galactic rotation curves from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) in the context of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). These rotation curves were selected to be the most reliable for mass modelling, and they are the highest quality rotation curves currently available for a sample of galaxies spanning a wide range of luminosities. We fit the rotation curves with the "simple" and "standard" interpolating functions of MOND, and we find that the "simple" function yields better results. We also redetermine the value of a(0), and find a median value very close to the one determined in previous studies, a(0) = (1.22 +/- 0.33) x 10(-8) cm s(-2). Leaving the distance as a free parameter within the uncertainty of its best independently determined value leads to excellent quality fits for 75% of the sample. Among the three exceptions, two are also known to give relatively poor fits in Newtonian dynamics plus dark matter. The remaining case (NGC 3198) presents some tension between the observations and the MOND fit, which might, however, be explained by the presence of non-circular motions, by a small distance, or by a value of a(0) at the lower end of our best-fit interval, 0.9 x 10(-8) cm s(-2). The best-fit stellar M/L ratios are generally in remarkable agreement with the predictions of stellar population synthesis models. We also show that the narrow range of gravitational accelerations found to be generated by dark matter in galaxies is consistent with the narrow range of additional gravity predicted by MOND.

- Godoy Pulp Regeneration De Novo Missing Concepts in

Regenerative endodontics has gained much attention in the past decade because it offers an alternative approach in treating endodontically involved teeth. Instead of filling the canal space with artificial materials, it attempts to fill the canal with vital tissues. The objective of regeneration is to regain the tissue and restore its function to the original state. In terms of pulp regeneration, a clinical protocol that intends to reestablish pulp/dentin tissues in the canal space has been developed—termed revitalization or revascularization. Histologic studies from animal and human teeth receiving revitalization have shown that pulp regeneration is difficult to achieve. In tissue engineering, there are 2 approaches to regeneration tissues: cell based and cell free. The former involves transplanting exogenous cells into the host, and the latter does not. Revitalization belongs to the latter approach. A number of crucial concepts have not been well discussed, noted, or understood in the field of regenerative endodontics in terms of pulp/dentin regeneration: (1) critical size defect of dentin and pulp, (2) cell lineage commitment to odontoblasts, (3) regeneration vs. repair, and (4) hurdles of cell-based pulp regeneration for clinical applications. This review article elaborates on these missing concepts and analyzes them at their cellular and molecular levels, which will in part explain why the non-cell-based revitalization procedure is difficult to establish pulp/dentin regeneration. Although the cell-based approach has been proven to regenerate pulp/dentin, such an approach will face barriers—with the key hurdle being the shortage of the current good manufacturing practice facilities, discussed herein.

Randomized Controlled Study A Cognitive Strategy Instruction to Improve Math Calculation for Children With ADHD and LD : A

The authors examined the effectiveness of cognitive strategy instruction based on PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, Successive) given by special education teachers to students with ADHD randomly assigned by classroom. Students in the experimental group were exposed to a brief cognitive strategy instruction for 10 days, which was designed to encourage development and application of effective planning for mathematical computation, whereas the comparison group receivedstandard math instruction. Standardized tests of cognitive processes and math achievement were given at pretest. All students completed math worksheets throughout the experimental phase. Standardized achievement tests (WoodcockJohnson Tests of Achievement, Third Edition, Math Fluency and Wechsler Individualized Achievement Test, Second Edition, Numerical Operations) were administered preand postintervention, and Math Fluency was also administered at 1 year follow-up. Large pre–post effect sizes were found for students in the experimental group but not the comparison group on math worksheets (0.85 and 0.26), Math Fluency (1.17 and 0.09), and Numerical Operations (0.40 and –0.14, respectively). At 1 year follow-up, the experimental group continued to outperform the comparison group. These findings suggest that students with ADHD evidenced greater improvement in math worksheets, far transfer to standardized tests of math (which measured the skill of generalizing learned strategies to other similar tasks), and continued advantage 1 year later when provided the PASS-based cognitive strategy instruction.
