Efficient micro-cavity top emission OLED with optimized Mg:Ag ratio cathode (2017)

Micro-cavity top-emitting organic light emitting diodes (TEOLEDs) are now receiving prominence as a technology for the active matrix display applications. The semi-transparent metal cathode plays the crucial role in realizing TEOLEDs structure. Here, we report the optimization results on Mg:Ag ratio as the semitransparent cathode deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation. The optimized Mg:Ag cathode with 1:10 ratio (wt %) shows a sheet resistance value as low as 5.2 Ω/□, an average transmittance of 49.7%, reflectance of 41.4%, and absorbance of 8.9% over the visible spectral region (400~700 nm). The fabricated red TEOLEDs device implemented using LiF (1nm)/Mg:Ag (1:10) cathode shows the voltage value of 4.17 V at a current density of 10.00 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>, and current efficiencies variation from 55.3 to 50.1 cd/A over the brightness range 2,000 - 12,000 cd/m<sup>2</sup>. The electroluminescence (EL) spectrum displays the light emission at 608 nm wavelength with a half width of 29.5 nm. The narrow half-width of red light emission is attributed to the micro-cavity effects due to the semitransparent cathode.
A Systematic Review of the Impact of ICT on Literature-Based Literacies (2004)

The broad background to this review is that there is a growing concern internationally that the investment in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in schools is not impacting on literacy development. This concern arises from a belief held by many – including governments as well as schools – that ICT is beneficial to learning and specifically literacy learning. The question is a specific one and has to be seen within a wider political, social and technological context in which the symbiosis between new technologies and new literacies (and thus literacy learning) is acknowledged. In this systematic in-depth review of the impact of ICT on literature-related literacies in English, 5-16, Locke and Andrews set out to determine – as far as they could, given the range of research available and the conceptual complexities of the field – the nature of the impact of what have become known as new technologies within a wider notion of the symbiosis between ICT and literacies. The background anticipates that research studies of the impact of ICT on literature-related literacies are thin on the ground. It sets out key definitions and explores the conceptual issues in the present review, supplementing the generic part of the report in this regard. It also summarises briefly the policy, practice and research background. The review uses systematic research review methodology developed by the EPPI-Centre, as described in the generic part of this report.

Fumaric Acid Esters in Severe Ulcerative Necrobiosis Lipoidica: A Case Report and Evaluation of Current Therapies (2010)

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) was first described by Oppenheim in 1929. NL is a granulomatous skin disease with association with diabetes mellitus (DM) in 10–40% of cases, but less than 1% of patients with DM develop NL. Additional risk factors for NL include other gra-nulomatous diseases, such as granuloma anulare (GA), sarcoidosis, colitis ulcerosa and Crohn’s disease. Middle-aged women are mainly affected. The lesions typically present as irregular or ovoid plaques with a central yellow atrophic area and a violaceous border; telangiectasia is often present. Ulcerations occur in approximately one-third of patients and complicate the clinical course. The most common sites of NL manifestation are the lower legs. Topical glucocorticosteroids represent the standard treatment of NL. In more complicated cases, glucocortico-steroids are given systemically. Several other therapies, including phototherapy, as well as systemic treatment with antimalarial drugs, cyclosporine and tumour necro-sis factor (TNF) antagonists have been reported (Table I). However, a constantly effective and safe treatment has not yet been established. Especially in patients with steroid-refractory severe ulcerative NL, safe and effective therapies are needed. We report here the first case of a young woman with long-standing ulcerative NL who did not respond to topical and systemic glucocorticosteroids or phototherapy, but was treated successfully with fuma-ric acid esters (FAE).CASE REPORT
Mechanistic Studies Examining the Efficiency and Fidelity of DNA Synthesis by the 3TC-Resistant Mutant (184V) of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (1999)

A single amino acid substitution from methionine-184 to valine (M184V) of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) evokes the 1000-fold 3TC (Lamivudine) resistance by the HIV-1 virus observed in the clinic. The M184V mutant HIV-1 RT was studied to assess its catalytic efficiency during single nucleotide incorporation using a transient kinetic approach. The maximum rate of polymerization (k(pol)), binding affinity (K(d)), and incorporation efficiency (k(pol)/K(d)) were determined for incorporating dCTP and 3TC-TP by wild-type and 3TC-resistant HIV-1 RT. The 3TC-resistant HIV-1 RT showed a similar efficiency of incorporation compared with the wild-type enzyme during DNA-dependent DNA polymerization; however, the incorporation efficiency is reduced 3.5-fold during RNA-dependent polymerization. A dramatic 146- and 117-fold decrease in incorporation efficiency was observed for 3TC-MP incorporation by M184V RT for DNA- and RNA-dependent DNA polymerization, respectively, as compared with wild-type HIV-1 RT. While the k(pol) was slower and the K(d) was weaker for 3TC-TP incorporation by the M184V RT, the decrease in the efficiency of incorporation is primarily due to a substantially reduced binding affinity for the 3TC-TP to the enzyme.DNA (or RNA) complex poised for DNA elongation. The fidelity of M184V RT was also examined to evaluate mispair formation since this mutant has been suggested to exhibit a higher level of fidelity. The results of our studies indicate that there is a maximum 2.4-fold increase in fidelity for M184V RT as compared with wild-type HIV-1 RT. Both the wild-type and 3TC-resistant mutant RT showed higher fidelity using an RNA template as contrasted with the corresponding DNA template. This mechanistic information provides insight into our understanding of the molecular mechanism of 3TC-drug resistance and supports suggestions that increased RT fidelity and decreased fitness of the M184V HIV-1 virus may be factors contributing to the strong antiviral effect of AZT-3TC combination therapy.
Indefinite Play and ‘The Name of Man’ (2008)

This paper is an attempt to take up the prompt in Derrida's work concerning the necessity for a deconstruction of anthropocentrism. Working through an example from Hegel's Philosophy of Right concerning animality, the paper takes up Derrida's project and connects it to the larger concern of what happens to the philosophical once it is no longer premised on the animal's exclusion but has to acknowledge the inclusion of an already present thus recalcitrant animality.
The guinea‐pig distal colon ‐ a sensitive preparation for the investigation of 5‐HT4receptor‐mediated contractions (1993)

1. Experiments were designed to characterize pharmacologically the contractile responses to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the guinea-pig isolated distal colon longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus preparation (LMMP). 2. In the presence of methiothepin (100 nM) and granisetron (1 microM), 5-HT (10 pM-10 nM) produced concentration-dependent contractile responses of the guinea-pig distal colon LMMP, with a pEC50 of 9.2 +/- 0.08. 3. Responses to 5-HT were mimicked by a series of tryptamine analogues, with the following rank order of potency; 5-HT > 5-MeOT >> 5-CT > tryptamine > 2-Me-5-HT. All were found to be full agonists. 4. Responses to 5-HT were also mimicked by a series of substituted benzamide analogues. Their rank order of potency was 5-HT > renzapride > cisapride > (S)-zacopride > (R)-zacopride > metoclopramide. All were full agonists relative to 5-HT. 5. The benzimidazolone derivatives, BIMU 1 and BIMU 8 were approximately equipotent partial agonists (intrinsic activities of 0.8 +/- 0.07 and 0.5 +/- 0.08 respectively) in the guinea-pig distal colon. 6. Tropisetron produced a rightward displacement of the 5-HT concentration-effect curve, yielding an apparent pA2 of 6.4 +/- 0.1. The slope of the Schild plot (1.3 +/- 0.1) was significantly greater than unity. 7. SDZ 205,557 produced a concentration-dependent shift to the right of the 5-HT concentration-response curve, yielding an estimated pA2 of 7.8 +/- 0.1 and a slope which did not significantly deviate from unity. SDZ 205 557 produced similar pKB estimates (7.3-7.9) when tested against 5-MeOT,renzapride and 5-CT, indicating a common site of action.8. The pharmacological profile of the 5-HT-evoked contractions of the guinea-pig distal colon LMMPare consistent with activity at the 5-HT4 receptor. Furthermore, of the models of this receptor described in the literature, the guinea-pig distal colon appears to be the most sensitive model to date, making it a useful tool in the investigation of 5-HT4 receptor-mediated events.
Structures, Electronic States, Photoluminescence, and Carrier Transport Properties of 1,1-Disubstituted 2,3,4,5-Tetraphenylsiloles (2005)

The excellent electroluminescent (EL) properties of 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles, 1-methyl-1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilole (MPPS), and 1,1,2,3,4,5-hexaphenylsilole (HPS) have been found. Despite some studies devoted to these materials, very little is known about the real origin of their unique EL properties. Therefore, we investigated the structures, photoluminescence (PL), and charge carrier transport properties of 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles as well as the effect of substituents on these characteristics. The single crystals of the three siloles involving 1,1-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole (DMTPS), MPPS, and HPS were grown and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. Three siloles have nonplanar molecular structures. The substituents at 1,1-positions enhance the steric hindrance and have predominant influence on the twisted degree of phenyl groups at ring carbons. This nonplanar structure reduces the intermolecular interaction and the likelihood of excimer formation, and increases PL efficiency in the solid state. The silole films show high fluorescence quantum yields (75-85%), whereas their dilute solutions exhibit a faint emission. The electronic structures of the three siloles were investigated using quantum chemical calculations. The highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) are mainly localized on the silole ring and two phenyl groups at 2,5-positions in all cases, while the LUMOs have a significant orbital density at two exocyclic Si-C bonds. The extremely theoretical studies of luminescent properties were carried out. We calculated the nonradiative decay rate of the first excited state as well as the radiative one. It is found that the faint emission of DMTPS in solutions mainly results from the huge nonradiative decay rate. In solid states, molecular packing can remarkably restrict the intramolecular rotation of the peripheral side phenyl ring, which has a large contribution to the nonradiative transition process. This explains why the 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles in the thin films exhibit high fluorescence quantum yields. The charge carrier mobilities of the MPPS and HPS films were measured using a transient EL technique. We obtained a mobility of 2.1 x 10(-)(6) cm(2)/V.s in the MPPS film at an electric field of 1.2 x 10(6) V/cm. This mobility is comparable to that of Alq(3), which is one of the most extensively used electron transport materials in organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs), at the same electric field. The electron mobility of the HPS film is about approximately 1.5 times higher than that of the MPPS film. To the best of our knowledge, this kind of material is one of the most excellent emissive materials that possess both high charge carrier mobility and high PL efficiency in the solid states simultaneously. The excellent EL performances of MPPS and HPS are presumably ascribed to these characteristics.
Separation of deformable particles in deterministic lateral displacement devices (2011)

Using numerical simulations, we study the separation of deformable bodies, such as capsules, vesicles, and cells, in deterministic lateral displacement devices, also known as bump arrays. These arrays comprise regular rows of obstacles such as micropillars whose arrangements are shifted between adjacent rows by a fixed amount. We show that, in addition to the zigzag and laterally displaced trajectories that have been observed experimentally, there exists a third type of trajectory which we call dispersive, characterized by seemingly random bumpings off the micropillars. These dispersive trajectories are observed only for large and rigid particles whose diameters are approximately more than half the gap size between micropillars and whose stiffness exceeds approximately 500 MPa. We then map out the regions in phase space, spanned by the row shift, row separation, particle diameter, and particle deformability, in which the different types of trajectories are expected. We also show that, in this phase space, it is possible to transition from zigzag to dispersive trajectories, bypassing lateral displacement. Experimentally, this is undesirable because it limits the ability of the device to sort particles according to size. Finally, we discuss how our numerical simulations may be of use in device prototyping and optimization.
Revealing the Architecture of a K + Channel Pore Through Mutant Cycles with a Peptide Inhibitor (1995)

Thermodynamic mutant cycles provide a formalism for studying energetic coupling between amino acids on the interaction surface in a protein-protein complex. This approach was applied to the Shaker potassium channel and to a high-affinity peptide inhibitor (scorpion toxin) that binds to its pore entryway. The assignment of pairwise interactions defined the spatial arrangement of channel amino acids with respect to the known inhibitor structure. A strong constraint was placed on the Shaker channel pore-forming region by requiring its amino-terminal border to be 12 to 15 angstroms from the central axis. This method is directly applicable to sodium, calcium, and other ion channels where inhibitor or modulatory proteins bind with high affinity.
Rational basis for Trk inhibition therapy for prostate cancer (2000)

Prostate carcinogenesis involves molecular changes leading to the paracrine and/or autocrine production of a series of neurotrophins. This is coupled to the ectopic expression of trk B and trk C, as well as to the continued expression of trk A, and the loss of expression of p75NTR receptors. These changes result in the acquisition by malignant prostate cells of a unique requirement for trk signaling pathways for survival. Based on these findings, trk inhibition is a novel, rational approach for prostate cancer therapy.
Creatinine Analysis in Single Collection Urine Specimens (1992)

Controlled and uncontrolled fluid intake studies were conducted on series of volunteers over the 6 or 12 h of the study periods. Urine specimens were obtained from each subject randomly or at specified times relative to fluid ingestion. Creatinine analysis performed by a modification of the Abbott TDx procedure demonstrates that the values obtained from single collection specimens fall almost in the same range as the values from 24 h pooled collection specimens. The creatinine concentration can be used to indicate possible adulteration of urine specimens by dilution as a means of avoiding detection of use of drugs of abuse. Between 4 and 7 h are required for a decrease in creatinine concentration to about 100 mg/dL from an initial mean of about 170 mg/dL. A minimum of 6 h is needed for any creatinine value to fall to 50 mg/dL or less. Thus, it appears that creatinine output is sensitive to the amount of fluid ingested, but the relationship is neither linear nor immediate. The absence of a significant creatinine concentration in a specimen can be used as an indication of direct or indirect adulteration of the urine specimen by dilution or replacement with water. At NDSL-Great Lakes, a decline of the creatinine concentration to 30 mg/dL is used as a cutoff for differentiating between urine specimens that might have been tampered with to avoid detection of drug use and those specimens that are dilute for other reasons. Values at 10 mg/dL or less are suggestive of replacement by water. The information is provided to local commands for investigation prior to initiation of punitive action by the command.

Constitutive p40 promoter activation and IL-23 production in the terminal ileum mediated by dendritic cells (2003)

IL-12 p40–related cytokines such as IL-12 p35/p40 heterodimer and IL-23 (p19/p40) are potent regulators of adaptive immune responses. Little is known, however, about the transcriptional regulation of the p40 gene in vivo. In an attempt toward this goal, we have generated transgenic mice expressing firefly luciferase under the control of the IL-12 p40 promoter. High constitutive transgene expression was found in the small intestine only, whereas little reporter gene activity was observed in other tissues. Within the small bowel, constitutive promoter activity was restricted to the terminal ileum and associated with high expression of p40 mRNA as well as p40 and IL-23 p19/p40 proteins. The cells constitutively producing IL-12 p40 were identified as CD8α and CD11b double-negative CD11c+ lamina propria dendritic cells (LPDCs) that represent a major cell population in the lamina propria of the small intestine, but not in the colon. FISH directly demonstrated the uptake of bacteria by a subset of LPDCs in the terminal ileum that was associated with p40 expression. Furthermore, little or no p40 protein expression in LPDCs was found in the terminal ileum of germfree mice, indicating a key role of the intestinal flora for constitutive p40 expression. In addition, analysis of transgenic mice with a mutated NF-κB target site in the p40 promoter showed a critical role of NF-κB for constitutive transgene expression. Our data reveal important functional differences between the mucosal immune systems of the small and large bowel in healthy mice and suggest that the high bacterial load in the terminal ileum activates p40 gene transcription in LPDCs through NF-κB. These data suggest a predisposition of the terminal ileum to develop chronic inflammatory responses through IL-23 and thus may provide a molecular explanation for the preferential clinical manifestation of Crohn disease in this part of the gut.
EB1 and EB3 Control CLIP Dissociation from the Ends of Growing Microtubules (2005)

EBs and CLIPs are evolutionarily conserved proteins, which associate with the tips of growing microtubules, and regulate microtubule dynamics and their interactions with intracellular structures. In this study we investigated the functional relationship of CLIP-170 and CLIP-115 with the three EB family members, EB1, EB2(RP1), and EB3 in mammalian cells. We showed that both CLIPs bind to EB proteins directly. The C-terminal tyrosine residue of EB proteins is important for this interaction. When EB1 and EB3 or all three EBs were significantly depleted using RNA interference, CLIPs accumulated at the MT tips at a reduced level, because CLIP dissociation from the tips was accelerated. Normal CLIP localization was restored by expression of EB1 but not of EB2. An EB1 mutant lacking the C-terminal tail could also fully rescue CLIP dissociation kinetics, but could only partially restore CLIP accumulation at the tips, suggesting that the interaction of CLIPs with the EB tails contributes to CLIP localization. When EB1 was distributed evenly along the microtubules because of overexpression, it slowed down CLIP dissociation but did not abolish its preferential plus-end localization, indicating that CLIPs possess an intrinsic affinity for growing microtubule ends, which is enhanced by an interaction with the EBs.
Chimeric Bacteriophage fr Virus-Like Particles Harboring the Immunodominant C-Terminal Region of Hamster Polyomavirus VP1 Induce a Strong VP1-Specific Antibody Response in Rabbits and Mice (2002)

The late region of the hamster polyomavirus (HaPyV, former HaPV) genome encodes three structural proteins VP1, VP2, and VP3, where VP1 represents the major capsid protein of 384 amino acids. Screening of sera from HaPyV-infected papilloma-bearing and papilloma-free hamsters demonstrated the immunodominant features of all three capsid proteins. For both groups of hamsters in the C-terminal region of VP1 immunodominant B-cell epitopes were identified in the regions between amino acids 305 and 351 and amino acids 351 and 384. The high flexibility of the C-terminal region of VP1 was confirmed by the formation of chimeric virus-like particles based on the coat protein of the RNA bacteriophage fr which was previously found to tolerate only very short-sized foreign insertions. Phage fr coat protein-derived virus-like particles tolerated the N-terminal fusion of amino acids 333-384, 351-384, 351-374, and 364-384, respectively, of VP1. The induction of VP1-specific antibodies in rabbits and mice by immunization with chimeric virus-like particles harboring amino acids 333-384, 351-384, and 364-384, respectively, of VP1 suggested the immunodominant nature of the C-terminal region of VP1.
Serum paraoxonase activity and paraoxonase gene polymorphism in type 2 diabetic patients with or without vascular complications. (2002)

The difference in allele frequency for the PON(1) Q/R 192 gene polymorphism may be the cause of the low paraoxonase activity observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Further studies need to be conducted to elucidate the role of the enzyme in the development of vascular complications in diabetes.
