Resistance to crizotinib in a cMET gene amplified tumor cell line is associated with impaired sequestration of crizotinib in lysosomes

Several cMET inhibitors have been developed as novel therapeutic candidates and are under investigation in clinical trials. New preclinical models to study mechanisms underlying resistance to these targeted agents are essential, as resistance acquired during treatment may lead to relapse. The squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line EBC-1 harbors a cMET gene amplification and is sensitive to the cMET inhibitor crizotinib. Here, through multiple step selection with gradually increasing concentrations of crizotinib we established a resistant clone of these cells, termed EBC-CR. A tyrosine kinase activity assay did not show increased signaling of a bypassing pathway or renewed activity of cMET after crizotinib treatment. However, the pHsensitive pHRodo Green AM probe showed increased acidification of the cytoplasm and lysosomes of EBC-CR cells. Live cell fluorescence imaging also showed an increase in lysosomal number after crizotinib treatment, and the intracellular concentration of crizotinib was significantly lower in crizotinib-resistant EBC-CR cells as compared to the drug sensitive parental EBC-1 cells. These findings suggest that the impaired accumulation of crizotinib in EBC-CR cells, together with the increased acidification of the lysosomes, contributes to crizotinib resistance in cMET-amplified NSCLC cells. In conclusion, the present research identified a novel mechanism used by cancer cells to confer resistance to cMET inhibition. These results prompt future studies for the establishment of innovative therapeutic strategies to overcome resistance to cMET kinase inhibitors by modulation of lysosomal
Frontal Midline Theta Reflects Cognitive Control During Planning

Neural correlates of cognitive planning are not understood well at present. Behavioral paradigms targeting this function are a current challenge in cognitive neuroscience. We recorded EEG activity while subjects were performing a novel behavioral paradigm that evaluates cognitive planning function. Participants showed longer reaction times and decreased accuracy during the planning condition compared to the control condition, suggesting that the planning condition is more time consuming, therefore reflecting higher cognitive demand. Moreover, cognitive planning induced a frontal midline theta (FMθ) frequency band originating in prefrontal cortex (PFC) as shown in previous cognitive control studies. When subjects began planning, there was a progressive and sustained increase in FMθ starting after 500 milliseconds (ms) of planning. Hence, we characterized for first time, both spatial and temporal FMθ dynamics of cognitive planning as a marker of cognitive control function.
Agricultural drought impacts on crops sector and adaptation options in Mali: a macroeconomic computable general equilibrium analysis

Abstract In Mali's current context, where the crops sector is particularly exposed and vulnerable to agricultural drought, this study assesses the economy-wide impacts of such events and the potential effectiveness of some adaptation strategies. Using a dynamic computable general equilibrium model, we conduct counterfactual simulations of various scenarios accounting for different levels of intensity and frequency of droughts over a 15-year period. We first show how mild, moderate and intense droughts currently experienced by the country affect its economic performance and considerably degrade the welfare of its households. We also show how these negative impacts could be aggravated in the future by the likely increased number of intense droughts threatened by global climate change. However, we finally show that there appears to be some room for Mali to maneuver in terms of drought-risk management policies, such as fostering the use of drought-tolerant crop varieties, improving drought early warning systems or extending irrigation capacities.
Musical and cognitive abilities in older adults with mild cognitive impairment

The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine the extent and nature of self-reported musical abilities in persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We recruited 60 older adults with a diagnosis of MCI from the Alzheimer’s disease Core Center. We evaluated self-reported musical abilities using the Goldsmiths General Musical Sophistication Index. We examined correlations between musical abilities and neuropsychological measures of verbal learning and memory, processing speed, executive function, verbal fluency, naming, and visuoconstructive abilities, while controlling for key demographic and participant characteristics. Older adults with MCI reported varying degrees of musical abilities. Nearly half of participants reported that they did not engage in regular, daily practice of a musical instrument. When adjusting for key demographic and participant characteristics, we found modest associations between four musical ability subfactors (active engagement, perceptual abilities, musical training, and emotional engagement with music) with three cognitive abilities: verbal fluency, executive function, and verbal naming. Except for the emotional engagement with music subfactor, none of the remaining musical ability subfactors correlated with any demographic or participant characteristics. While our study findings provided support for the relationship between musical and cognitive abilities in older adults with MCI, this relationship warrants further investigation.
INSIGHTS INTO INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATION: A SYNTHESIS OF MOVE-BASED LITERATURE ON THE RESEARCH ARTICLE GENRE

Ever since Swales’ (1981/1990) work on the research article (RA), this genre has been subject to copious investigation in the past three decades. This attraction is due to both its highly valued status as a means of disseminating academic knowledge and the high pressure on part of the university staff and PhD students to have publications in international journals in many countries where English is not a native language. This paper reviews the literature on genre/move-based investigations into writing for international publication. The three areas of focus are the rhetorical structures, the linguistics features, and the cross-cultural comparisons of these two aspects. The synthesis provides a detailed account of both consistencies and inconsistencies to the conventional structures, as well as of the similarities and differences in the linguistic realizations, across various disciplines and cultures.
Restless Rest

Article history: Phase locking or synchron Received 6 October 2008 Revised 19 December 2008 Accepted 5 January 2009 Available online 14 January 2009 ization of brain areas is a key concept of information processing in the brain. Synchronous oscillations have been observed and investigated extensively in EEG during the past decades. EEG oscillations occur over a wide frequency range. In EEG, a prominent type of oscillations is alpha-band activity, present typically when a subject is awake, but at rest with closed eyes. The spectral power of alpha rhythms has recently been investigated in simultaneous EEG/fMRI recordings, establishing a wide-range cortico-thalamic network. However, spectral power and synchronization are different measures and little is known about the correlations between BOLD effects and EEG synchronization. Interestingly, the fMRI BOLD signal also displays synchronous oscillations across different brain regions. These oscillations delineate socalled resting state networks (RSNs) that resemble the correlation patterns of simultaneous EEG/fMRI recordings. However, the nature of these BOLD oscillations and their relations to EEG activity is still poorly understood. One hypothesis is that the subunits constituting a specific RSN may be coordinated by different EEG rhythms. In this study we report on evidence for this hypothesis. The BOLD correlates of global EEG synchronization (GFS) in the alpha frequency band are located in brain areas involved in specific RSNs, e.g. the ‘default mode network’. Furthermore, our results confirm the hypothesis that specific RSNs are organized by long-range synchronization at least in the alpha frequency band. Finally, we could localize specific areas where the GFS BOLD correlates and the associated RSN overlap. Thus, we claim that not only the spectral dynamics of EEG are important, but also their spatio-temporal organization. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Mahasiswa, Obat-obatan, dan Prilaku Kesehatan (Studi Perilaku Pengobatan Mandiri Mahasiswa Universitas Negeri Semarang dalam Mengonsumsi Obat)

The indication of risky health behavior in students can lead into a disease. Self-medication is the most common form of therapy chosen by someone who relies on medication distribution as pharmacy does. As for choosing the medicines, it requires adequate knowledge to adjust between the types of disease and the types of medicines. Qualitative method is used in this research using observation, interview, and documentation as the collected data. The results are: (1) the diseases suffered by Unnes students according to their risky health behavior are maag, diarhea, headache, scabies, and influenza. (2) Unnes studentâ€™s risky health behavior are the irregular eating pattern, unbalanced nutrition, less rest time, and less exercises. (3) Unnes students prefer to take self-medication in overcoming the suffered disease using pharmacy, store, or stall medicines until the reuse of prescription. Keywords: Illness behavior, risky health behavior, self medication.
An investigation of the Mach number dependence of trapped acoustic waves in turbulent jets

In addition to the classical Kelvin-Helmholtz modes, compressible jets support hierarchical families of modes that represent upstream and downstream traveling acoustic waves trapped within the jet by its annular shear layer. These trapped waves have recently been shown to participate in a variety of different resonance phenomena, including screech, impingement tones, and a weak subsonic resonance. The properties of the trapped waves vary with the jet Mach number, and recent results from a simple parallel flow vortex sheet model suggest the existence of three distinct Mach number regimes. In this paper, we use a series of large-eddy simulations along with a global linear model to investigate the properties of the trapped waves within and at the boundaries of these different Mach number regimes. We show that the resonance between a pair of duct-like modes predicted by the vortex sheet model for the range 0.82 < M < 1 persists to lower Mach numbers and is gradually damped away. Moreover, this resonance does not exist at supersonic Mach numbers, and is instead replaced by a weaker interaction between a different pair of trapped waves. We show that a global resolvent-based model provides good approximations of the power spectral density of the trapped waves as a function of both frequency & wavenumber and frequency & streamwise position.
Adolescent Girls’ Struggles with Weight: Identifying Modifiable Risk Factors Associated with Eating Disturbances, Waist-to-Height Ratio, and Cardiovascular Biomarkers

Author(s): Chau, Christopher Viya | Advisor(s): Laraia, Barbara A | Abstract: The present study examines the modifiable risk factors associated with eating disturbances, waist-to-height ratio, and cardiovascular biomarkers among a well-characterized cohort of black and white girls in the United States from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study (NGHS). For 10 years, the NGHS followed black and white preadolescent girls, who were recruited from public and parochial schools in Richmond, California, and Cincinnati, Ohio, and from families enrolled in a large health maintenance organization in the Washington, DC area. The dissertation is divided into three papers. Paper 1 investigates the correlation of parental weight comments and the daughter’s unhappiness with her weight with eating disturbances among 874 black and 852 white girls, from adolescence (12-13 years) to late adolescence (18-19 years). Findings showed that either parents’ weight comments were positively associated with their daughters’ eating disturbance scores. It is important to remind parents that their direct verbal messages can have a lasting impact on their children’s likelihood to develop eating disturbances later in life.Paper 2 examines the two-year time-lagged association between intake of sugary beverages and WHtR among 896 black and 988 white girls, from childhood (9-10 years) to late adolescence (18-19 years). Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among all girls was significantly associated with a slight increase in waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), a sensitive marker of abdominal obesity, while fruit juice or flavored milk was not. The findings about the influence of SSBs have important public health implications as increased WHtR has been linked to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular risk. Since taste preferences in childhood can track into adulthood, it is imperative that public health efforts are directed towards reducing children’s consumption of sugary beverages. Paper 3 investigates the one-year time-lagged association between abdominal obesity measures and cardiovascular biomarkers among 760 black and 719 white girls, from childhood (10-11 years) to late adolescence (18-19 years). The study provides evidence using longitudinal data that abdominal obesity measures are associated with an increased score in cardiovascular biomarkers among young girls. Though BMI is the most commonly used measure of body fat among children, our findings underscore that where children store their fat—especially, near the abdomen—is important in assessing their potential to develop risk factors for heart disease.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy versus surgery for early stage non-small cell lung cancer: clearing a path through an evolving treatment landscape.

An interesting and robust systematic review and meta-analysis comparing outcomes between patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (ES-NSCLC) receiving stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or surgical resection was recently reported by Cao et al . (1). After a thorough examination of studies available in the literature comparing these two modalities, 32 studies were ultimately identified as suitable for study inclusion, including the pooled analysis of the STARS and ROSEL randomized trials (2) and 31 observational studies that included SEER (n=6) and NCDB (n=3) analyses. Twenty-three of these studies were used for quantitative analysis, and the investigators performed a quality assessment of all included studies using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, indicating an overall moderate quality study score.
Efficiency enhancement of amorphous silicon p-i-n solar cells by LP-CVD ZnO

Amorphous silicon p-i-n solar cells were deposited on "in house" developed LP-CVD zinc oxide and compared with commercially available SnO/sub 2/ (Asahi type U2) substrates. While for both front TCO materials comparably high values of the open circuit voltage (860-900 mV) and of the fill factor (72-74%) were obtained, a remarkable enhancement of the short-circuit current density could be observed for LP-CVD ZnO substrates. Optical characterizations confirm for LP-CVD ZnO a more efficient light-trapping effect, as compared to SnO/sub 2/. By applying this low-cost LP-CVD ZnO, a stabilized a-Si:H p-i-n solar cell efficiency of 9% has been achieved.
Dry Anaerobic Digestion of Food and Paper Industry Wastes at Different Solid Contents

A large volume of food is being wasted every year, while the pulp and paper industry also generate a large amount of solid wastes on a daily basis, causing environmental challenges around the world. Dry anaerobic digestion (AD) of these solid wastes is a cost-effective method for proper management. However, dry digestion of these waste streams has been restricted due to their complex structure, the presence of possible inhibitors and inappropriate operating conditions. In light of this fact, dry digestion of food waste (FW) and paper wastes (PW) was conducted at different total solid (TS) concentrations of reactor mixtures of 14%, 16%, 18% and 20% TS, corresponding to substrate to inoculum (S/I) ratio of 0.5 and 1; investigating the optimum operating conditions for effective dry digestion of these complex wastes. The highest methane yields of 402 NmlCH4/gVS and 229 NmlCH4/gVS were obtained from digestion of FW and PW, respectively at 14%TS corresponding to an S/I ratio of 0.5. Increasing the S/I ratio from 0.5 to 1 and thereby having a TS content of 20% in the reactor mixtures was unfavorable to the digestion of both substrates.
The Influence of Pressure on the Discharge along Oil-Paper Interface under AC Stress

This study explores the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the discharge along the oil-paper interface under AC voltage, especially for the normal operating condition and breakdown. In this paper, an experimental platform was set up to record the partial discharge (PD) parameters of the test sample under different hydrostatic pressures, while the applied AC voltage was increased to final flashover voltage step by step. Experimental results showed that higher hydrostatic pressure had different effects on PD under different voltages. Higher pressure decreased the PD energy and increased the flashover voltage. Furthermore, under higher hydrostatic pressure, discharge traces (white mark) were found on the surface of the samples after intense discharging on the oil-paper interfaces, indicating that the hydrostatic pressure can affect the gas generation and dissipation process underneath the surface of the pressboards. Finally, the mechanism of how hydrostatic pressure influences the PD, flashover voltage, and white mark was interpreted based on the bubble theory. The results derived in this paper can be helpful for an optimal design and reasonable operation of oil-paper insulation systems, especially for power transformers.
Disputes over Corporate Control at Chinese Firms

ABSTRACT We investigate disputes over corporate control in Chinese stock markets from 2001 to 2012. We find that firms involved in such disputes usually have low financial performance and high leverage risks. Because control rights can create value for shareholders, the cumulative abnormal returns around the fights for control are positive in both the short and long runs. In addition, the top management benefits from improved financial performance afterward.
The Changed Transcriptome of Muscular Dystrophy and Inflammatory Myopathy: Contributions of Non-Coding RNAs to Muscle Damage and Recovery

In order to successfully recover from damage, skeletal muscle tissue requires proper activation of a tightly orchestrated repair program. Non-coding RNAs actively participate in this complex process of demolition and rebuilding. In this review, the contribution of dysregulated non-coding RNA expression to disease-associated pathological changes is explored in hereditary muscular dystrophies and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Disturbances in spatiotemporal expression of non-coding RNAs appear to be key factors in disease progression, functioning both in favor of and opposed to recovery. They regulate regeneration and survival of muscle fibers as well as codetermine the severity of tissue fibrosis and inflammation. Non-coding RNAs display individual or pleiotropic effects, and strongly influence each other’s activities. The described altered expression patterns can be exploited as biomarkers for diagnosis and to evaluate therapeutic success. In addition, OBM Genetics 2019; 3(2), doi:10.21926/obm.genet. 1902xxx Page 2/19 common signatures of these non-coding RNAs often present in different muscle disorders point to their manipulation as an approach for potentially broader therapeutic use.
Health Care Expenditure and Income in the OECD Reconsidered: Evidence from Panel Data

This paper reconsiders the long-run economic relationship between health care expenditure and income using a panel of 20 OECD countries observed over the period 19712004. In particular, the paper studies the non-stationarity and cointegration properties between health care spending and income. This is done in a panel data context controlling for both crosssection dependence and unobserved heterogeneity. Cross-section dependence is modelled through a common factor model and through spatial dependence. Heterogeneity is handled through fixed effects in a panel homogeneous model and through a panel heterogeneous model. Our findings suggest that health care is a necessity rather than a luxury, with an elasticity much smaller than that estimated in previous studies.
