description: Protein interactions constitute the fundamental building block of almost every life activity. Identifying protein communities from Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks is essential to understand the principles of cellular organization and explore the causes of various diseases. It is critical to integrate multiple data resources to identify reliable protein communities that have biological significance and improve the performance of community detection methods for large-scale PPI networks. In this paper, we propose a Multi-source Learning based Protein Community Detection (MLPCD) algorithm by integrating Gene Expression Data (GED) and a parallel solution of MLPCD using cloud computing technology. To effectively discover the biological functions of proteins that participating in different cellular processes, GED under different conditions is integrated with the original PPI network to reconstruct a Weighted-PPI (WPPI) network. To flexibly identify protein communities of different scales, we define community modularity and functional cohesion measurements and detect protein communities from WPPI using an agglomerative method. In addition, we respectively compare the detected communities with known protein complexes and evaluate the functional enrichment of protein function modules using Gene Ontology annotations. Moreover, we implement a parallel version of the MLPCD algorithm on the Apache Spark platform to enhance the performance of the algorithm for large-scale realistic PPI networks. Extensive experimental results indicate the superiority and notable advantages of the MLPCD algorithm over the relevant algorithms in terms of accuracy and performance.

description: Recent experimental and theoretical works have shown that giant fluctuations are present during diffusion in liquid systems. We use linearized fluctuating hydrodynamics to calculate the net mass transfer due to these non equilibrium fluctuations. Surprisingly the mass flow turns out to coincide with the usual Fick's one. The renormalization of the hydrodynamic equations allows us to quantify the gravitational modifications of the diffusion coefficient induced by the gravitational stabilization of long wavelength fluctuations.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: OBJECTIVE: This study reports the results of a prospective, multicenter trial designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith fenestrated endovascular graft (Cook Medical, Bloomington, Ind) for treatment of juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).

METHODS: Sixty-seven patients with juxtarenal AAAs were prospectively enrolled in 14 centers in the United States from 2005 to 2012. Custom-made fenestrated stent grafts were designed with one to three fenestrations on the basis of analysis of computed tomography data sets. Renal alignment was performed with balloon-expandable stents. Follow-up included clinical examination, laboratory studies, mesenteric-renal duplex ultrasound, abdominal radiography, and computed tomography imaging at hospital discharge and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months and yearly thereafter up to 5 years.

RESULTS: There were 54 male and 13 female patients with a mean age of 74 ± 8 years enrolled. Mean aneurysm diameter was 60 ± 10 mm. A total of 178 visceral arteries required incorporation with small fenestrations in 118, scallops in 51, and large fenestrations in nine. Of these, all 118 small fenestrations (100%), eight of the scallops (16%), and one of the large fenestrations (11%) were aligned by stents. Technical success was 100%. There was one postoperative death within 30 days (1.5%). Mean length of hospital stay was 3.3 ± 2.1 days. No aneurysm ruptures or conversions were noted during a mean follow-up of 37 ± 17 months (range, 3-65 months). Two patients (3%) had migration ≥ 10 mm with no endoleak, both due to cranial progression of aortic disease. Of a total of 129 renal arteries targeted by a fenestration, there were four (3%) renal artery occlusions and 12 (9%) stenoses. Fifteen patients (22%) required secondary interventions for renal artery stenosis/occlusion in 11 patients, type II endoleak in three patients, and type I endoleak in one patient. At 5 years, patient survival was 91% ± 4%, and freedom from major adverse events was 79% ± 6%; primary and secondary patency of targeted renal arteries was 81% ± 5% and 97% ± 2%, freedom from renal function deterioration was 91% ± 5%, and freedom from secondary interventions was 63% ± 9%.

CONCLUSIONS: This prospective study demonstrates that endovascular repair of juxtarenal AAAs with the Zenith fenestrated AAA stent graft is safe and effective. Mortality and morbidity are low in properly selected patients treated in centers with experience in these procedures.

description: During inflammation, polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are exposed to and influenced by various cytokines, including the chemoattractant interleukin-8 (IL-8). We tested the hypothesis that IL-8 affects apoptosis in PMN. We investigated which IL-8 receptor (RI or RII) might be involved, as well as the role of Bcl-2. Human PMN were isolated and cultured up to 30 hours. Apoptosis was detected by UV and light microscopy, as well as by DNA-fragmentation assay, and quantitated by flow cytometry. Interleukin-8 significantly delayed spontaneous apoptosis at 10, 20, and 30 hours in a dose-dependent fashion. Polymorphonuclear neutrophil treatment with the highest concentration of IL-8 (100 nM) decreased the percentage of apoptotic cells from 2.1 +/- 1.5 to 0.8 +/- 0.2 after 10 hours, from 31 +/- 14 to 8 +/- 5 after 20 hours, and from 47 +/- 15 to 18 +/- 8 after 30 hours of incubation (P < 0.05 for all time points, N = 6). Interleukin-8 also inhibited TNF alpha-mediated PMN apoptosis. Incubation with 20 ng/ml TNF alpha resulted in 23 +/- 6% apoptotic cells at four hours, whereas pretreatment with IL-8 (50 nM) decreased this percentage to 11 +/- 3 (N = 5, P < 0.05). We next studied the role of both types of IL-8 receptors, RI and RII, by comparing the effect of IL-8 and the product of growth-related oncogene alpha (Gro alpha) on PMN cultured for 20 hours. Both IL-8 and Gro alpha attenuated apoptosis, although IL-8 was more effective than Gro alpha. Bcl-2 was detected by intracellular fluorescent antibody cell sorter analysis, Western blot, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Neither resting PMN nor IL-8-treated neutrophils expressed BCL-2 protein, which was readily detected in control cells. Furthermore, we could not detect BCL-2 gene expression by RT-PCR. We conclude that IL-8 prolongs the lifespan of human neutrophils in vitro by delaying apoptosis. This effect may be important for a controlled and effective inflammatory response. The delay in apoptosis can be mediated by the IL-8 RII, while RI may provide an added effect. The actions of IL-8 on apoptosis are Bcl-2 independent.

description: Background. Although patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at increased risk for early menopause, osteoporosis, cognitive dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease, few postmenopausal women are prescribed hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The reasons for the low prescription rate are not known. This study uses data from the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) to assess the prevalence and predictors of HRT use in postmenopausal women with ESRD. Methods. Data were obtained from the USRDS Dialysis Morhidity and Mortality Study Wave 2. All women who were at least 45 years of age were considered postmenopausal and were selected for our analysis. Demographics, behavior and medical characteristics were abstracted from the database. Logistic regression was used to estimate the independent contribution of population characteristics in predicting the use of HRT. Linear regression models were used to estimate the relationship between HRT use and both triglycerides and total cholesterol. Results. The overall prevalence of HRT prescription was 10.8%. Important predictors of HRT use included age (aOR = 0.74, 95% Cl ().13 to 0.88, P < 0.001 black ethnicity (aOR = 0.50, 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.78, P < 0.002), college education (aOR = 3.00, 95% CI, 1.70 to 5.24, P < 0.001 and the ability to ambulate (aOR = 1.99. 95% CI, 1.01 to 3.91, P = 0.05). Serum triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were higher among women treated with HRT than among those not treated with HRT (264 ± 155 vs. 217 ± 159 mg/dl, P = 0.001 and 220 ± 62 vs. 209 ± 55 mg/dl, P = 0.02, respectively). Conclusions. HRT is prescribed less frequently in postmenopausal ESRD patients than in the general population. Younger age, higher education levels, white race, and the ability to ambulate were important predictors of HRT use. Targeting populations of patients who are likely to henefit from but less likely to be prescribed HRT may increase the prescription of HRT.

description: The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method allows for very precise calculations of ground state properties in low-dimensional strongly correlated systems. We investigate two methods to expand the DMRG to calculations of dynamical properties. In the Lanczos vector method the DMRG basis is optimized to represent Lanczos vectors, which are then used to calculate the spectra. This method is fast and relatively easy to implement, but the accuracy at higher frequencies is limited. Alternatively, one can optimize the basis to represent a correction vector for a particular frequency. The correction vectors can be used to calculate the dynamical correlation functions at these frequencies with high accuracy. By separately calculating correction vectors at different frequencies, the dynamical correlation functions can be interpolated and pieced together from these results. For systems with open boundaries we discuss how to construct operators for specific wavevectors using filter functions.

description: BACKGROUND: Recurrent antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated small vessel vasculitis (ANCA-SVV) after renal transplantation has been described in case series. However, general information regarding the frequency, character, and predictors of recurrent disease after transplantation is currently lacking. We considered the rate of relapse, whether a positive ANCA at the time of transplantation predicted relapse, and whether cyclosporine A prevented recurrent disease.

METHODS: We performed a pooled analysis of published data, added to the experience at the Universities of North Carolina (14 patients) and Lund, Sweden (11 patients). To avoid reporting bias, only case series were included for analysis. Subgroup analysis was performed by disease category (Wegener's granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, or necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis) and ANCA staining pattern.

RESULTS: ANCA-SVV recurred in 17.3% of all patients (N = 127), in 20% of cyclosporine A-treated patients (N = 85), and in 25.6% of patients with circulating ANCA at the time of transplantation (N = 39). There was no statistically significant difference in the relapse rate between patients treated and those not treated with cyclosporine A (P = 0.45), between those with and without circulating ANCA at the time of transplant (P = 0.75), or between patients with Wegener's granulomatosis and those with microscopic polyangiitis or necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis alone (P = 0.62).

CONCLUSION: There is a substantial relapse rate in the ANCA-SVV population. Therapy with cyclosporine A does not protect against recurrent ANCA-SVV, and the presence of a positive ANCA at the time of transplantation does not preclude transplantation. These conclusions must be substantiated with a prospective study of renal transplantation in patients with ANCA-SVV so as to optimize their management.

description: We embed in a generalized Borel procedure the notion of renormalization and renormalons. While there are several efforts in literature to have a semi-classical understanding of the renormalons, here we argue that this is not the fundamental issue and show how to deal with the problem. We find that the effective Lagrangians describing the effects of renormalons are non-local in space but local in time. The quark-antiquark potential in QCD with an infinite number of fermions is also analyzed. The connection between the analyzable functions, the Callan-Symanzyk equation and the renormalons, provides an insight of a non-perturbative renormalization from the standard perturbative renormalization approach.

description: ANCA antigens, proteinase 3 and myeloperoxidase, are not expressed in endothelial cells. Background. One hypothesis for the pathogenesis of vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) proposes that ANCAs bind to ANCA antigens, such as proteinase 3 (PR3) or myeloperoxidase (MPO), which are produced by endothelial cells and expressed on their surfaces. There are conflicting reports, however, on whether endothelial cells express the ANCA antigen PR3, and there are no reports on endothelial expression of MPO. The aim of this study was to determine the presence or absence of PR3 and MPO mRNA in both venous and arterial endothelial cells, employing standard reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) techniques and also the quantitative and highly specific method, TaqMan PCR. Methods. RT-PCR (with 3 primer sets) and TaqMan PCR, a method for detecting low copy transcripts, were used to probe for PR3 and MPO transcripts in human endothelial cells from umbilical vein (HUVEC) and artery (HUAEC) and from lung microvascular (HLMVEC). Cells were treated with interferon-γ (200 units/mL) or tumor necrosis factor-α (3 or 10 ng/mL) or both. Results. Transcripts for PR3 and/or MPO were not detected in HUVEC, HUAEC, and HLMVEC by standard RT-PCR. Analyses for PR3 protein confirmed that PR3 is not expressed in HUVEC. HUVEC and HUAEC were negative for PR3 and MPO by TaqMan PCR. Conclusions. PR3 and MPO are not expressed in HUVEC, HUAEC, or HLMVEC. Endothelial cell presentation of endogenous PR3 and MPO antigens is not involved in the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated vasculitis. Alternative explanations need to be explored to determine the pathogenic effect of ANCAs.

We find that in systems with short range correlated disorder there is energy separation between maxima and minima, such that at fixed energy only one kind of stationary points is dominant in number over the other. On the other hand, in the case of systems with long range correlated disorder maxima and minima are completely mixed.

description: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and associated diseases: A review of the clinical and laboratory features. There have been a number of recent advances in this field. First, the "International Consensus Statement on Testing and Reporting of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA)" has been developed to optimize ANCA testing. It requires that all sera are tested by indirect immunofluorescent (IIF) examination of normal peripheral blood neutrophils and, where there is positive fluorescence, in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for antibodies against both proteinase 3 (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). Testing will be further improved when international standards and common ELISA units are available. Second, new diagnostic criteria for the small vessel vasculitides that take into account ANCA-positivity and target antigen specificity as well as histologic features are currently being produced. Third, we understand that the complications associated with treatment of the ANCA-associated vasculitides are often more hazardous than the underlying disease, and regimens that use effective but less toxic agents are being evaluated. The factors associated with increased risk of relapse, however, remain incompletely understood. Finally, ANCA with specificities other than PR3 and MPO are present in many nonvasculitic autoimmune diseases. Their clinical significance is still largely unclear, and some of the target antigens are present in other cells as well as neutrophils and thus are not strictly "ANCA."

description: BACKGROUND: Genetic ablation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) resulted in cystic renal dysplasia and early death in adult mice. The ontologic development of the renal pathology and the biochemical and physiological abnormalities associated with the dysplasia are unknown.

METHODS: Mice homozygous for a targeted deletion of COX-2 (-/-) were compared with wild-type littermates (+/+). Somatic and kidney growth and renal histology were studied at the day of birth and at a number of postnatal ages. Systolic blood pressure, urinalysis, urine osmolality, serum and urine chemistries, and inulin clearance were evaluated in adult animals.

RESULTS: Beginning at postnatal day 10 (PN10), kidney growth was suppressed in -/- animals, while somatic growth and heart growth were unaffected. By PN10, -/- kidneys had thin nephrogenic cortexes and crowded, small, subcapsular glomeruli. The pathology increased with age with progressive outer cortical dysplasia, cystic subcapsular glomeruli, loss of proximal tubular mass, and tubular atrophy and cyst formation. Adult -/- kidneys had profound diffuse tubular cyst formation, outer cortical glomerular hypoplasia and periglomerular fibrosis, inner cortical nephron hypertrophy, and diffuse interstitial fibrosis. The glomerular filtration rate was reduced by more than 50% in -/- animals (6.82 +/- 0.65 mL/min/kg) compared with wild-type controls (14.7 +/- 1.01 mL/min/kg, P < 0. 001). Plasma blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were elevated in null animals compared with controls. Blood pressure, urinalysis, urine osmolality, and other plasma chemistries were unaffected by the deletion of COX-2.

CONCLUSIONS: Deficiency of COX-2 results in progressive and specific renal architectural disruption and functional deterioration beginning in the final phases of nephrogenesis. Tissue-specific and time-dependent expression of COX-2 appears necessary for normal postnatal renal development and the maintenance of normal renal architecture and function.

description: We study the lifetimes of the remnant produced by the merger of two neutron stars and revisit the determination of the threshold mass to prompt collapse, $M_{\rm th}$. Using a fully general-relativistic numerical approach and a novel method for a rigorous determination of $M_{\rm th}$, we show that a nonlinear universal relation exists between the threshold mass and the maximum compactness. For the temperature-dependent equations of state considered here, our results improve a similar linear relation found recently with methods that are less accurate but yield quantitatively similar results. Furthermore, exploiting the information from GW170817, we use the universal relation to set lower limits on the stellar radii for any mass.

Quasiparticle dynamics in ballistic weak links under weak voltage bias: An elementary treatment

description: A simple one-dimensional model for SNS weak links in the ballistic limit is presented. In the presence of a bias voltage, the quasiparticle state at any given instant of time is described as a superposition of that particular set of phase-dependent Andreev bound states that belongs to the specific phase difference present at this instant between the superconducting banks. The treatment -- basically a form of adiabatic perturbation theory -- has a strong formal similarity to the treatment of the k-space dynamics of an electron in a periodic potential under perturbation by an external electric field, sufficiently strong to cause transitions across the energy gaps between bands (Zener tunneling). It is shown that the quasiparticle wave function retains its phase information during analogous transitions between Andreev bands. The experimental observation of Shapiro steps at one-half the canonical voltage follows naturally from the model, along with some of the experimental properties of these steps, especially their much weaker temperature dependence, compared to the canonical steps.

description: A regularization method is presented to deduce dynamic correlation functions from exact diagonalization calculations. It is applied to dimer-dimer correlation functions in quantum spin chains relevant for the description of spin-Peierls systems. Exact results for the XY model are presented. The analysis draws into doubt that the dimer-dimer correlation functions show the same scale invariance as spin-spin correlation functions. The results are applied to describe the quasi-elastic scattering in CuGeO$_3$.

description: BACKGROUND: Prostanoid products of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism modulate blood pressure (BP) and sodium homeostasis. Conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which inhibit both COX isoforms (COX-1 and -2), cause sodium retention, exacerbate hypertension, and interfere with the efficacy of certain anti-hypertensive agents such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. While a new class of NSAIDs that specifically inhibit COX-2 is now widely used, the relative contribution of the individual COX isoforms to these untoward effects is not clear.

METHODS: To address this question, we studied mice with targeted disruption of the COX-1 (Ptgs1) gene. Blood pressure, renin mRNA expression, and aldosterone were measured while dietary sodium was varied. To study interactions with the renin-angiotensin system, ACE inhibitors were administered and mice with combined deficiency of COX-1 and the angiotensin II subtype 1A (AT1A) receptor were generated.

RESULTS: On a regular diet, BP in COX-1-/- mice was near normal. However, during low salt feeding, BP values were reduced in COX-1-/- compared to +/+ animals, and this reduction in BP was associated with abnormal natriuresis despite appropriate stimulation of renin and aldosterone. Compared to COX-1+/+ mice, the actions of ACE inhibition were markedly accentuated in COX-1-/- mice. Sodium sensitivity and BP lowering also were enhanced in mice with combined deficiency of COX-1 and AT1A receptor.

CONCLUSIONS: The absence of COX-1 is associated with sodium loss and enhanced sensitivity to ACE inhibition, suggesting that COX-1 inhibition does not cause hypertension and abnormal sodium handling associated with NSAID use.

Effect of renal center characteristics on mortality and technique failure on peritoneal dialysis

description: BACKGROUND: Recent studies report decreased mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) over time, suggesting that advances in PD have resulted in improved patient outcomes. Our investigation sought to assess the effect of renal center characteristics on mortality and technique failure (TF) rates.

METHODS: Covariates of interest included center-specific cumulative number of PD patients treated, percentage of patients who initiated dialysis on PD, and academic status. Using data obtained from the Canadian Organ Replacement Register, the 17,900 patients who received PD during the 1981 to 1997 period were studied. Mortality and TF rate ratios (RR) were estimated using Poisson regression, adjusting for age, gender, race, primary renal diagnosis, province, follow-up time, and type of PD.

RESULTS: As the cumulative number of PD patients treated increased, covariate-adjusted mortality significantly decreased (P < 0.05); a weaker yet significant association was observed between number of PD patients treated and TF. As the percentage of patients initiating dialysis on PD increased, TF rates decreased significantly. No association was observed between center academic status and PD mortality or TF rates.

CONCLUSIONS: These results imply that a center's experience with and degree of specialization toward PD impact strongly on PD outcomes. One hypothesis is that a center's propensity to exploit technical and non-technical advances in PD increases directly with these variables. It is also possible that, through experience, centers become more adept at identifying appropriate patients to receive PD. More detailed research is required to evaluate these hypotheses.
Eutectic Colony Formation: A Stability Analysis

description: Experiments have widely shown that a steady-state lamellar eutectic solidification front is destabilized on a scale much larger than the lamellar spacing by the rejection of a dilute ternary impurity and forms two-phase cells commonly referred to as `eutectic colonies'. We extend the stability analysis of Datye and Langer for a binary eutectic to include the effect of a ternary impurity. We find that the expressions for the critical onset velocity and morphological instability wavelength are analogous to those for the classic Mullins-Sekerka instability of a monophase planar interface, albeit with an effective surface tension that depends on the geometry of the lamellar interface and, non-trivially, on interlamellar diffusion. A qualitatively new aspect of this instability is the occurence of oscillatory modes due to the interplay between the destabilizing effect of the ternary impurity and the dynamical feedback of the local change in lamellar spacing on the front motion. In a transient regime, these modes lead to the formation of large scale oscillatory microstructures for which there is recent experimental evidence in a transparent organic system. Moreover, it is shown that the eutectic front dynamics on a scale larger than the lamellar spacing can be formulated as an effective monophase interface free boundary problem with a modified Gibbs-Thomson condition that is coupled to a slow evolution equation for the lamellar spacing. This formulation provides additional physical insights into the nature of the instability and a simple means to calculate an approximate stability spectrum. Finally, we investigate the influence of the ternary impurity on a short wavelength oscillatory instability that is already present at off-eutectic compositions in binary eutectics.
