'Which is the merchant here, and which the Jew?’
Authors: Forrester Anna Carleton
Published: September 2018

This article takes up one of the most perplexing and thoroughly examined questions
posed by Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice – the origin and extent of Antonio’s
melancholy. While many critical responses point to anxieties towards his ventures
abroad, unrequited romantic love or general indecisiveness to explain the merchant’s
sadness, this reading asserts that his atrabilious nature must stem from something
more latent, comprehensive and socially binding. This article argues that it is Antonio’s
unwanted, yet pre-existing and indisputable similitude with Shylock, the Jewish
usurer, that incites an internal sadness; Antonio’s insistence upon his absolute difference
to Shylock’s profession, religion and humanity ignites and prolongs melancholy,
since those are, ironically, the very things that make them so similar and renders his
opposition
unsuccessful.
?הַאִם אַתָּה דּוֹמֶה לְיוֹם אָבִיב
Authors: Jacobs Adriana X.
Published: September 2018

In this article, I address contemporary Hebrew translations of Shakespeare’s Sonnets,
specifically those by the Israeli poet Anna Herman. My reading of Herman’s translation
of Sonnet 18 contextualizes this translation in the Hebrew translation history of the
Sonnets. I discuss how Hebrew retranslations of the Sonnets illuminate and complicate
our understanding of shifts in the development of modern Hebrew writing and translation
from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. How do Herman’s translations
‘compare’, as it were, with the translations that have come before, particularly those by
male translators? As part of a neoformalist turn in contemporary Hebrew poetry, I call
attention to the ways in which Herman’s translations, which were published in 2006,
revitalize our reading of the original Shakespearean English and the Hebrew translations
that followed, thereby constituting an altogether contemporary text.
A Hebrew Take on Shylock on the New York Stage
Authors: Nahshon Edna
Published: September 2018

Shylock ’47 was a Hebrew-language stage production presented by the Pargod Theatre
in New York in 1947. Conceived and directed by Peter Frye, it was a metatheatrical play-within-a-play that interrogated the idea of producing The Merchant of Venice in the aftermath
of the Holocaust. It combined original scenes culled from Shimon Halkin’s Hebrew
translation of Merchant with present-based transitional scenes, created mostly through
improvisation and discussion between director and cast. What eventually emerged was
a script based on Shakespeare’s text with added dramatized discussions about the play’s
meaning and relevance to Jews at that particular moment in history.

Published: September 2018

Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio empírico cualitativo sobre el uso de las redes sociales en Internet, realizado en Madrid entre jóvenes y adolescentes. Se plantea y discute la tesis que entiende las redes sociales digitales como un artefacto para generar comunicación dialógica. Por lo tanto, se pone entre paréntesis el carácter discursivo de las redes sociales y su forma comunicacional centrada en el relato como forma expresiva, y como tradicional objeto de análisis. Observando lo que hacen los jóvenes adolescentes en este espacio para la comunicación, se concluye que las redes sociales digitales tienen su propia forma de interacción social, modificando sustancialmente el sentido e interés relacional que imponen formalmente a los sujetos que las emplean.
Brasilianische Gewerkschaften im Aufwind?

Twenty years after the raise of Brazilian "new unionism", this article analyses whether the unions in Brasilia had changed into authentic interest organisations of labour, Based on empirical evidence it will be argued, that the unionmovement today successfully left behind state-corporatism both in its structure and practice, The discussion of deficits and solutions, especially from the CUT model of firm-representation, will lead to suggestions for a reform of industrial relations, one of the central tasks of the new government of President Lula.
Im Konsens aus der Krise?
Authors: Van Dyk Silke
Published: September 2018

Due to rising unemployment in many European countries and the far spread view that this is linked to the crisis of the welfare state, tripartite co-operations arose between government, unions and employer associations recently, Promotion of international competitiveness, consolidation of public finances and reduction of unemployment are the three main political goals, which are considered to be the new consensus between the actors, This consensns arose because of the unions' adaptation to key positions of the other actors' analysis and it is widely held to be an expression for the overcoming of unions' heavily discussed crisis, With the Dutch polder model, which is celebrated as a successful prototype of a consensus model, one can illustrate that the assumed consensus is much more ambivalent and fragile than the current debate suggests, It is possible to demonstrate on the basis of Foucault's governmentality studies that the creation of the supply side consensus is not an expression of reason and responsibility, Instead, due to the unequal distribution of power and rule some actors manage to implement their interpretations of the world as being ,true'.
Global Corruption
Authors: Rügemer Werner
Published: September 2018

Corruption is a systemic inherent mechanism of the the modem capitalist economy. The forms of corruption are always ahead of the the law, today dominate the different forms of "legalized corruption" (consultant contracts for politicians, rewards for the top management without performance, and similar). The global structure of corruption in different stages is shown by the examples Lockheed, Elf Aquitaine, Enron and private garbage incineration plants in german cities. The actual neoliberal globalism has generated the most advanced stage of national and global corruption in the history of capitalism. The standards are developed mainly in the United States of America. During the last decade anti-corruptionprograms and laws have been elaborated. The worldwide anti-corruption organisation "Transparency International" has reached high estimation in companies und international organisations (World Bank and others) but shows the first signs of collusion.
Arbeit im Gesundheitswesen: "Reformen" auf Kosten der Beschäftigten?
Authors: Krampe Eva-Maria
Published: September 2018

The strategy of the 1998 Red-Green government in the field of health care aimed to realize two core objectives: first, the government wanted to improve the quality of health care, and second, it intended to reduce treatment costs and thus maintain the stability of insurance contributions without cuts to a comprehensive benefits catalogue. SPD and Green Party have retained competition among the health insurance funds, budgets and flat-rates in the payment of providers introduced by the preceding government but revoked many of the measures of cost privatisation. However, since its re-election in autumn 2002, the governing coalition has increasingly moved towards privatization of treatment costs. As regards the effects of recent policy changes, experience so far shows that the competition of health insurance funds as well as the sectoral budgets largely failed to increaseSince the neo-liberal Health Care Reforms in the 1980ies, concerning hospital financing, and the introduction of the Nursing Care Insurance in the 1990ies, the different sectors of the German health care system have been subjected to slow, but nonetheless radical changes. Rationalization, privatization, and the enforcement of cost effectiveness have led to a restructuring of employment in the system. Whereas the number of employees in charge of the direct care of patients in hospitals (doctors, nurses) has increased as well as their work load has grown, other groups of employees, mainly in the field of technical assistance and other services (cleaning, kitchen) have been transferred to new private service companies, founded exactly for the reason of providing cheap labor. This resulted in an increase of part time, low paid jobs, mainly for women. In the sectors of community care and the care of the elderly, we can observe a tendency to even minimize the amount of qualified staff in direct patient care to be replaced by less qualified, low paid part time workers. Within these changes a new, academically educated elite of nurses believed to find a more powerful position in hospital hierarchy. Thus they supported neo-liberal change without perceiving that it endangered their own position in the long run.he efficiency of health care.
Über direkte Gewalt in kapitalistischen Arbeitsvererhältnissen – und über Geschichtsphilosophie
Authors: Gerstenberger Heide
Published: September 2018

Laut Marx ist Gewalt in den Grundstrukturen des Kapitalismus verankert. Einmal durch die sogenannte ursprüngliche Akkumulationen etabliert, funktioniert ihre Reproduktion ohne weiteren Rückgriff auf direkte Gewalt. Während in den großstädtischen kapitalistischen Gesellschaften die Kämpfe der organisierten Arbeiter und Arbeiterinnen sowie der Staat die Praktiken der direkten Gewalt reduziert haben, blieb sie am Rande dieser Gesellschaften sowie in den Kolonien präsent. Aber seit der Globalisierung des Kapitalismus müssen die Praktiken der direkten Gewalt als Elemente seines normalen Funktionierens anerkannt werden. Marx hat zwar zu Recht darauf hingewiesen, dass die Reproduktion des Kapitalismus nicht auf der Praxis der direkten Gewalt beruht. Aber diese historische Möglichkeit ist nicht mit der tatsächlichen Entwicklung des Kapitalismus zu verwechseln. Die Geschichte des Kapitalismus negiert die marxistische Geschichtsphilosophie.

PENGARUH PARTISIPASI PENYUSUNAN ANGGARAN TERHADAP KINERJA MANAJERIAL DI RSUD Dr. HARJONO S. PONOROGO
Authors: Mustoffa Ardyan Firdausi , Ulfah Ika Farida
Published: September 2018

Penelitian ini menggunakan partisipasi anggaran sebagai variabel independen, kinerja manajerial sebagai variabel dependen, komitmen organisasi dan gaya kepemimpinan sebagai variabel moderating. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh partisipasi anggaran terhadap kinerja manajerial dengan komitmen organisasi dan gaya kepemimpinan sebagai variabel moderating pada RSUD Dr. Hardjono S. Ponorogo.Hipotesis dalam penelitian ini adalah H1:  Partisipasi penyusunan anggaran berpengaruh terhadap kinerja manajerial, H2:       Komitmen organisasi berpengaruh terhadap hubungan antara partisipasi anggaran dan kinerja manajerial, H3: Gaya kepemimpinan berpengaruh terhadap hubungan antara partisipasi anggaran dan kinerja manajerial. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah pejabat/manajer tingkat menengah pada setiap bagian di lingkungan RSUD Dr. Hardjono S. Ponorogo yang terdiri dari Wakil Direktur Medik, Bidang Pelayanan Medik, Bidang Pelayanan Keperawatan, Bidang Pelayanan Penunjang Medik dan Farmasi, Wakil Direktur Administrasi dan Keuangan, Bagian Tata Usaha, Bagian Keuangan, Bagian Perencanaan Program, dan wakil wakilnya.Responden dipilih karena manajer menengah merupakan manajer pelaksana pada perusahaan yang ikut terlibat secara aktif dalam penyusunan anggaran dan teknik pengambilan sampelnya menggunakan metode nonprobability sampling yang berupa purposive samplingHasil dari penelitian ini adalah: pertama, partisipasi anggaran berpengaruh langsung terhadap kinerja manajerial. Pada penelitian ini menemukan bahwa partisipasi anggaran berpengaruh positif terhadap kinerja manajerial. Semakin tinggi tingkat partisipasi manajer dalam proses penyusunan anggaran maka semakin baik kinerja manajerialnya. Tingkat partisipasi yang lebih tinggi dalam penyusunan anggaran akan menghasilkan inisiatif yang lebih tinggi pula. Partisipasi dalam penyusunan anggaran berpengaruh secara positif terhadap sikap pegawai, meningkatkan kuantitas dan kualitas hasil kerja, dan meningkatkan kerja sama diantara manajer yang berdampak pada peningkatan kinerja. Kedua, tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara komitmen organisasi dalam memoderasi hubungan antara partisipasi anggaran dan kinerja. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa kombinasi kesesuaian antara partisipasi anggaran dan komitmen organisasi bukanlah merupakan kesesuaian terbaik. Ketiga, tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara gaya kepemimpinan dalam memoderasi hubungan antara partisipasi anggaran dan kinerja. Penulis menduga hal ini disebabkan sistem kerja dari sampel penelitian lebih berorientasi kepada tugas sehingga gaya kepemimpinan tidak mempengaruhi hubungan antara partisipasi anggaran dan kinerja.

Magnetic field effect on exciplex-forming organic acceptor/donor system: a powerful tool for understanding the preferential solvation
Authors: Hoang Hao Minh , Pham Van Thi Bich
Published: September 2018

Many acceptor/donor systems can form excited-state charge-transfer complexes (exciplexes) in photo-induced electron transfer reactions. Exciplex can be detected by their luminescence. In addition, the exciplex luminescence is magneto-sensitive. Here, we employ an approach based on the magnetic field effect on the exciplex of 9,10- dimethylanthracene/N,N-dimethylaniline pair in micro-homogeneous and micro-heterogeneous binary solvents to investigate the effects of the preferential solvation processes on solute molecules in solutions. Micro-homogeneous solvent mixtures of propyl acetate (PA)/butyronitrile (BN) allow for a systematic variation of the static dielectric constants, s , in the range from 6.0 to 24.6. The mixtures of toluene (TO)/dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) with varying the s values in the range from 4.3 to 15.5 are used as micro-heterogeneous binary solvents. In micro-heterogeneous environment, DMSO molecules get preferentially favoured in the solvation shell, forming micro-clusters surrounding the solute molecules. This solvation effect is reflected in the altered magnetic field effects, lifetimes and dissociation rate constants of the exciplexes.

Published: September 2018

Retinoblastoma merupakan keganasan orbita tersering pada anak. Leukokoria merupakan tanda utama pada 80% pasien, diikuti strabismus, penurunan visus, hingga perdarahan vitreus pada penyakit stadium lanjut. Retinoblstoma dapat bersifat unilateral maupun bilateral, herediter maupun non-herediter, di mana terjadi mutasi pada kedua alel gen RB1 pada lengan panjang kromosom 13 (13q14). Tujuan utama terapi retinoblastoma adalah penyelamatan hidup pasien dan tujuan sekundernya adalah penyelamatan bola mata dan fungsi penglihatan. Agar tujuan ini tercapai, diagnosis dini dan tatalaksana multimodalitas yang terdiri atas kemoterapi, terapi fokal, operasi, dan radiasi oleh tim multidisiplin diperlukan.  Laju sintasan retinoblastoma pada negara berkembang mencapai >95% namun pada negara sedang berkembang, mortalitas retinoblastoma masih tinggi, mencapai 40-70% karena keterlambatan diagnosis dan terapi.

Published: September 2018

Karsinoma sel basal (KSB) merupakan  kanker kulit yang paling sering terjadi, bersifat slow growing, invasif lokal, agresif dan destruktif  lokal, jarang bermetastasis, namun dapat menyebabkan kerusakan jaringan lokal dan cacat fungsional. Radioterapi sebagai terapi utama dalam kondisi tertentu mampu memberikan hasil yang baik. Begitu pula sebagai terapi adjuvan, radioterapi terbukti mampu menurunkan angka rekurensi dengan konsekuensi kosmetik minimal dan efek samping yang dapat ditoleransi. Oleh karena itu, pertimbangan radioterapi dalam tatalaksana KSB harus dimasukkan ke dalam pengambilan keputusan klinis dan manajemen multidisiplin.

Background: Stroke survivors experience long-term physical, psychosocial and cognitive impairment that are formidable challenges to caregivers because caring for stroke survivors needs explicit knowledge and caregivers have to endure the stressfulness as a result of caring. In addition, little is known about perceived benefits of the stroke care giving experience.Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the caregivers’ burden and challenges as reported by caregivers of stroke survivors.Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 18 stroke caregivers. The data were collected from November 2015 to June 2016 at a conveniently selected community rehabilitation centre in Kuching, Sarawak.Results: The qualitative data analysis revealed that the burden was aggravated by financial problems, multiple responsibilities hold by the caregivers, behavioural changes of the stroke survivors and lack of social support during care giving.Conclusion: This study highlighted the experiences by the caregivers in caring for the stroke survivors that focused on the different needs of the caregivers. Understanding these experiences may help the service providers to provide better support and resources for caregivers in caring for stroke survivors.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(4) 2018 p.593-599
Central and peripheral corneal thickness in Malays and its variation with age
Authors: Mohidin Norhani , Ling Lau Chean
Published: September 2018

Background: Corneal thickness (CT) is an important parameter in refractive surgery but available data is scanty on corneal thickness of normal Malays. The purpose of this study is to determine central and peripheral CT in a sample of Malays and find its effect on age.Methods: Seventy–two (72) participants were invited to participate in this study. Their age ranged from 15 to 65 years old. CT was measured using an ultrasonic pachometer (Corneo-Gage TM Plus2) at 5 different locations namely central, superior, temporal, inferior and nasal regions of the cornea. A total of three readings were taken for each location of the cornea and the mean was calculated. CT was presented as total, epithelial and stromal thickness for three age groups, namely <20years, 21-40years and >40 years for comparison.Results: Mean value for central CT for Malays was 597.9 ± 35.2 μm and peripheral CT was significantly thicker than the centre at all locations. There was significant thinning in CT as age advanced at all locations except at the centre. The epithelial layers do not show any changes with respect to location and age which implied that changes in CT at different location and as results of advancing age were mainly due to the stroma.Conclusion: The values of CT in normal Malays was 597.9 ± 35.2 μm and CT was thinnest at the central region. Except at the central region CT decreased with advancing age. These values can be a suitable reference when planning for refractive surgery and penetrating keratoplasty among Malays.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(4) 2018 p.600-605
Neglected left intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma causing complete facial nerve palsy: A case report

Published: September 2018

Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are relatively rare neoplasms. The tumours are slow growing and often unnoticeable. The nerve of origin is unable to be determined until the time of surgery. Proper preoperative assessment of the disease can be done by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging. The treatment for these tumours is surgical resection with preservation of the neural pathway. We report a case of left intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma in a middle-aged lady causing complete facial nerve paralysis. The clinical features, diagnostic possibilities and management are discussedBangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(4) 2018 p.680-682

Concha bullosa (CB) is a pneumatised middle turbinate. Although CB is the most common variant of the middle turbinate, the formation of mucocele or mucopyocele of CB has been rarely reported. The inflamed mucosal lining of the concha bullosa may lead to mucocele formation. Infection of the retained secretion will later on lead to mucopyocele. We report a 12-year-old girl presented with right unilateral nasal blockage associated with rhinitis symptoms. She was initially diagnosed as nasal polyp which later on turned out to be a mucocele histpathologically.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(4) 2018 p.691-693
A Heterogeneous Ensemble Approach for Activity Recognition with Integration of Change Point-Based Data Segmentation

Published: September 2018

One of the main topics of Smart Home (SH) research is the recognition of activities performed by its inhabitants, which is considered to be one of the bases to foster new technological solutions inside the home, including services to prolong independent living of the elderly. However, current activity recognition proposals still find problems when considering all the different types of activities that can be performed at home, namely static, dynamic, and transitional activities. In this paper, we consider recognition of transitional activities, which is often ignored in most studies. In addition, we propose a novel dynamic segmentation method based on change points in data stream and construct an ensemble of heterogeneous classifiers to recognize twelve activities (of all types). The experiment is conducted on the dataset collected over ten hours by a wearable accelerometer placed on the person’s wrist. The base classifiers selected to form this ensemble are support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT) and k-nearest neighbors (KNN). As a result, the proposed approach has achieved an overall classification accuracy equal to 96.87% with 10-fold cross-validation. Moreover, all activity types considered have been similarly well identified.
Electro-Aero-Mechanical Model of Piezoelectric Direct-Driven Flapping-Wing Actuator
Authors: Ozaki Takashi , Hamaguchi Kanae
Published: September 2018

We present an analytical model of a flapping-wing actuator, including its electrical, aerodynamic, and mechanical systems, for estimating the lift force from the input electrical power. The actuator is modeled as a two-degree-of-freedom kinematic system with semi-empirical quasi-steady aerodynamic forces and the electromechanical effect of piezoelectricity. We fabricated actuators of two different scales with wing lengths of 17.0 and 32.4 mm and measured their performances in terms of the stroke/pitching angle, average lift force, and average consumed power. The experimental results were in good agreement with the analytical calculation for both types of actuators; the errors in the evaluated characteristics were less than 30%. The results indicated that the analytical model well simulates the actual prototypes.
Creative Chord Sequence Generation for Electronic Dance Music
Authors: Conklin Darrell , Gasser Martin , Oertl Stefan
Published: September 2018

This paper describes the theory and implementation of a digital audio workstation plug-in for chord sequence generation. The plug-in is intended to encourage and inspire a composer of electronic dance music to explore loops through chord sequence pattern definition, position locking and generation into unlocked positions. A basic cyclic first-order statistical model is extended with latent diatonicity variables which permits sequences to depart from a specified key. Degrees of diatonicity of generated sequences can be explored and parameters for voicing the sequences can be manipulated. Feedback on the concepts, interface, and usability was given by a small focus group of musicians and music producers.

Published: September 2018

The absorbing and scattering nature of aerosols affects the total radiative forcing and is quantified by single scattering albedo (SSA), which is defined as the absorption to total extinction ratio. There are limited measurements of SSA in the ultraviolet (UV) irradiance spectrum, hence, the influence of SSA on incoming UV irradiance has not been explored in great depth. In the present study, UV irradiance was calculated and compared using different SSA datasets retrieved at Athens, Greece during 2009–2014; including SSA time series from Ultraviolet Multi-Filter Radiometer (UVMFR) at 332 and 368 nm, SSA from AERONET at 440 nm, from OMI satellite at 342.5 nm and AeroCom climatological database at 300 nm. Irradiances were estimated using a radiative transfer model (RTM). Comparisons of these results revealed that relative differences of UVA and UVB could be as high as 20%, whilst average relative differences varied from 2% to 8.7% for the entire experimental period. Both UVA and UVB drop by a rate of ~12% for 0.05 aerosol absorption optical depth in comparison to ones estimated with the use of SSA at visible range. Brewer irradiance measurements at 324 nm were used to validate modeled monochromatic irradiances and a better agreement was found when UVMFR SSAs were used with an average difference of 0.86%. However, when using visible or climatological input, relative differences were estimated +4.91% and +4.15% accordingly.

Published: September 2018

The aim of this work is to study, in an in vitro head and neck squamous cell carcinomas model the anti-angiogenic and anti-migratory properties of self-assembled polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) with demonstrated selective anticancer activity. The NPs are based on α-tocopheryl succinate (α-TOS) encapsulated in the hydrophobic core of the NPs. We analyzed the effect of the newly synthetized α-TOS-loaded NPs in proliferating endothelial cells and hypopharynx carcinoma squamous cells and measured markers of angiogenesis, apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS). α-TOS-loaded NPs suppressed angiogenesis by inducing accumulation of ROS and inducing apoptosis of proliferating endothelial cells. These NPs also decrease the number and quality of capillary-like tubes in an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) experiment, decrease the production of the pro-angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor and down-regulate the expression of its receptor. The anti-migratory efficacy of α-TOS is corroborated in hypopharynx carcinoma cells by decreasing the secretion of matrix metalloproteases 2 and 9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and inhibiting cell migration. These results confirm that α-TOS-based NPs not only present anticancer properties, but also antiangiogenic properties, therefore making them promising candidates for multi-active combinatorial anticancer therapy.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is the standard method for the quantification of environmental impacts within the construction sector, relying on available generic LCA databases. New developments, such as the increased influence of the building construction for LCA and the forthcoming of building information modeling (BIM), implicate new requirements on multiscale levels of development and complexity for LCA construction databases. At the example of the German “Ökobau.dat”, one of the leading LCA construction databases, this publication discusses whether the database is able to meet these requirements. The analysis shows the strengths of the Ökobau.dat with regard to standardization conformity (EN 15804, ILCD), data provision in machine-readable XML format, and the provision of an application programming interface. Shortcomings include incorrect linking of building life cycle inventory data with environmental information, incorrect documentation of functional units, missing generic datasets, the modeling of energy use data or the lack of a uniform structuring, or material classification. The authors propose solutions such as the provision of appropriate functional units, the implementation of a top-down approach to investigate the completeness of data based on existing nomenclatures or the extension with an appropriate material classification. This would allow for future viability and adaptability of Ökobau.dat for digital LCA.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) is part of the Janus kinase (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway that controls critical events in intestinal immune function related to innate and adaptive immunity. Recent studies have implicated STAT1 in tumor–stroma interactions, and its expression and activity are perturbed during colon cancer. However, the role of STAT1 during the initiation of inflammation-associated cancer is not clearly understood. To determine the role of STAT1 in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC), we analyzed the tumor development and kinetics of cell recruitment in wild-type WT or STAT1−/− mice treated with azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Following CAC induction, STAT1−/− mice displayed an accelerated appearance of inflammation and tumor formation, and increased damage and scores on the disease activity index (DAI) as early as 20 days after AOM-DSS exposure compared to their WT counterparts. STAT1−/− mice showed elevated colonic epithelial cell proliferation in early stages of injury-induced tumor formation and decreased apoptosis in advanced tumors with over-expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl2 at the colon. STAT1−/− mice showed increased accumulation of Ly6G+Ly6C−CD11b+ cells in the spleen at 20 days of CAC development with concomitant increases in the production of IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-22 cytokines compared to WT mice. Our findings suggest that STAT1 plays a role as a tumor suppressor molecule in inflammation-associated carcinogenesis, particularly during the very early stages of CAC initiation, modulating immune responses as well as controlling mechanisms such as apoptosis and cell proliferation.
