Standards for analysis of ventricular late potentials using high resolution or signal-averaged electrocardiography (1991)

Sufficient data are available to recommend that the high-resolution or signal-averaged electrocardiogram can be used in patients recovering from myocardial infarction without bundle branch block to help to determine their risk for developing sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias. However, no data are available regarding the extent to which pharmacologic or non-pharmacologic interventions in patients with late potentials have an impact on the incidence of sudden cardiac death. Therefore, controlled, prospective studies are required before this issue can be definitely answered. As refinements in techniques evolve, it is anticipated that the clinical value of high-resolution or signal-averaged electrocardiography will continue to increase in the future.
Radical Addition of Perfluoroalkyl Iodides to Alkenes and Alkynes Initiated by Sodium Dithionite in an Aqueous Solution in the Presence of a Novel Fluorosurfactant (2013)

Abstract A new fluorinated anionic surfactant Cl(CF 2 ) 6 O(CF 2 ) 2 SO 3 N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 was prepared and characterized. The application of the fluorosurfactant allowed the fluoroalkylation to occur in the water without adding organic solvent. The addition of perfluoroalkyl iodides with olefins and alkynes under the initiation of Na 2 S 2 O 4 in water in the presence of the fluorosurfactant gave the corresponding adducts in good to excellent yields. The fluorosurfactant was suitable for a radical addition process.
Alteration in the expression of cdk4 and cdk6 proteins in oral cancer and premalignant lesions (2010)

Overexpressions of cdk4 and cdk6 were observed in OSCC, indicating that these two proteins play a crucial role in OSCC. The aberrant expression of cdk4 was found in OL with dysplasia, suggesting that cdk4 may be involved in the early event of carcinogenesis.
Deletion of a Small Consensus Region at 6q15, Including theMAP3K7Gene, Is Significantly Associated with High-Grade Prostate Cancers (2007)

Our study provides strong evidence for the first time that a small deletion at 6q15, including the MAP3K7 gene and four other genes, is associated with high-grade prostate cancers. Although the deletion may be a marker for high-grade prostate cancer, additional studies are needed to understand its molecular mechanisms.
Distribution of glucagonlike peptide I (GLP‐I), glucagon, and glicentin in the rat brain: An immunocytochemical study (1988)

Although glucagonlike immunoreactants (GLIs) are present in the central nervous system of several mammalian species, their structural relationship with pancreatic proglucagon is not defined, and their precise anatomical distribution has not been studied extensively. To obtain further information about the structure and biological significance of brain GLIs, the anatomical distribution of three different antigenic determinants of pancreatic proglucagon--glucagonlike peptide I (GLP-I), glucagon, and glicentin--was mapped in the brain of colchicine-treated rats by immunocytochemistry using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase method. Neuronal cell bodies immunoreactive with antisera specific for GLP-I, glucagon, and glicentin were found only in the caudal medulla oblongata. Within the caudal medulla immunostained cell bodies were found at levels from approximately 0.55 mm rostral to the obex to 0.45 mm caudal to the obex, and were located within the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and the dorsal (MdD) and ventral (MdV) parts of the medullary reticular nucleus. The NTS contained three times more immunoreactive cell bodies than the MdD and MdV, and these cell bodies were located in the midline, medial, and lateral subnuclei of the caudal third of the NTS. Immunostaining of the same cell bodies in paired adjacent sections incubated with GLP-I and glucagon antisera or glucagon and glicentin antisera provided evidence for coexistence of the three antigens within the same neurons of the NTS. Nerve fibers and terminals immunoreactive with GLP-I, glucagon, and glicentin antisera were widely distributed throughout the rat brain and there was no discernible difference in the distribution of fibers and terminals immunoreactive with each of the three antisera. The highest densities of immunostained fibers and terminals were observed in the hypothalamus, thalamus, and septal regions, and the lowest in the cortex and hindbrain. The localization of neuronal cell bodies containing GLP-I, glucagon, and glicentin within the NTS and the MdD and MdV, and the extensive distribution of immunoreactive fibers and terminals throughout the rat brain suggest a role for these peptides in the integration of autonomic as well as central nervous system functions.
Synthesis of the First Selective Irreversible Inhibitor of Neutral Sphingomyelinase (2001)

The sphingolipid ceramide is a candidate second messenger assumed to be involved in fundamental processes such as growth control, inflammation and apoptosis. Many aspects of ceramide-mediated processes remain to be clarified, including the question of which of the different sphingomyelinases is critical for the stimulus-induced ceramide production. Selective inhibitors of the sphingomyelinases are useful tools for clarifying the biological role of these enzymes and, moreover, appear to be interesting motives for the development of pharmacological agents for an experimental therapy of inflammatory diseases. The full synthesis of N-[2-hydroxy-1-(8-oxo-1-oxa-spiro[2.5]octa-4,6-diene-5-ylcarbamoyl)-ethyl] decanamide (2), the first selective irreversible inhibitor of neutral sphingomyelinase, is described and the relevant analytical data are given. The inhibitor 2 was obtained by a five-step synthesis starting from D-serine.
Biomedical Program for the Converted 200-MeV Synchrocyclotron at the Gustaf Werner Institute (1985)

Between 1956 and 1977, the former synchrocyclotron in Uppsala was used for biological experiments and clinical tests with 185-MeV protons. Therapeutic irradiations have been performed since 1957 by cross-firing with pencil beams through small intracranial structures for the treatment of Parkinsonism and intractable pain and with the spread-out Bragg peak for the treatment of large malignant tumors. Radiological and radiophysical aspects of the use of charged-particle beams were studied in detail. The former accelerator is now being converted to a sector-focusing, frequency-modulated cyclotron, SFSC-200, to permit acceleration of protons up to 200 MeV and other light ions to corresponding energies. Production of spallation neutrons and radionuclides for biomedical uses is expected to start this year. Experiments with charged-particle beams will begin in 1986. This paper presents a discussion of accelerator developments for planned experimental and clinical programs.
Reducing the cost of branches (1986)

Pipelining is the major organizational technique that computers use to reach higher single-processor performance. A fundamental disadvantage of pipelining is the loss incurred due to branches that require stalling or flushing the pipeline. Both hardware solutions and architectural changes have been proposed to overcome these problems. This paper examines a range of schemes for reducing branch cost focusing on both static (compile-time) and dynamic (hardware-assisted) prediction of branches. These schemes are investigated from quantitative performance and implementation viewpoints. 1
Configurable Ultra Low Noise Ultra Wideband Power Efficient VCOs (2005)

Voltage-controlled oscillators with wide tuning range (more than octave-band) and low phase noise are essential building blocks for next-generation wireless communication systems. The coexistence of second and third generation wireless system require multi-mode, multi-band and multi-standard mobile communication systems, therefore, requiring a wideband source that may replace narrow band voltage-controlled oscillator (VCOs) modules by a single low noise wideband VCO. Phase noise can vary dramatically over the tuning range of the VCOs, but the published literature often obscures this fact by reporting the typical phase noise measurement at selected tuning voltages. The VCO design approach demonstrated in this work enables wideband tunability, lower noise performance over the tuning range, power efficient, compact size, configurable, and easily amenable for integration in chip form. The measured phase noise is better than ?108 dBc at 100 kHz offset over the tuning range (1500-6000 MHz), and featuring uniform phase noise within 4 dB variations over the tuning range.
Cancer vaccines: the interleukin 2 dosage effect. (1995)

Cancer vaccines genetically engineered to produce interleukin 2 have been investigated intensively in a series of animal models and are at the point of entering into clinical trials. In this study we demonstrate a strong correlation between the rate of interleukin 2 production and the protection efficiency of murine S91 melanoma cell (clone M-3) vaccines. Best immunization is achieved with vaccines producing medium interleukin 2 levels of 1000-3000 units per 10(5) cells per day. Reduced interleukin 2 production evokes a corresponding decline in the number of successfully treated animals. Unexpectedly, when interleukin 2 expression is raised to high levels of 5000-7500 units per 10(5) cells per day, protection is completely absent because of impaired generation of tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. In comparison, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor as immunomodulator induces substantial immunization even at a moderate level of secretion and protects all animals at the maximal obtainable level of secretion. Our findings demonstrate the importance of the interleukin 2 level produced by genetically modified tumor cells and may have substantial impact for the clinical application of cancer vaccines.
Metathesis Reactions in Total Synthesis (2005)

With the exception of palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings, no other group of reactions has had such a profound impact on the formation of carbon-carbon bonds and the art of total synthesis in the last quarter of a century than the metathesis reactions of olefins, enynes, and alkynes. Herein, we highlight a number of selected examples of total syntheses in which such processes played a crucial role and which imparted to these endeavors certain elements of novelty, elegance, and efficiency. Judging from their short but impressive history, the influence of these reactions in chemical synthesis is destined to increase.
Real-Time Obstacle Avoidance for Manipulators and Mobile Robots (1986)

This paper presents a unique real-time obstacle avoidance approach for manipulators and mobile robots based on the artificial potential field concept. Collision avoidance, tradi tionally considered a high level planning problem, can be effectively distributed between different levels of control, al lowing real-time robot operations in a complex environment. This method has been extended to moving obstacles by using a time-varying artificial patential field. We have applied this obstacle avoidance scheme to robot arm mechanisms and have used a new approach to the general problem of real-time manipulator control. We reformulated the manipulator con trol problem as direct control of manipulator motion in oper ational space—the space in which the task is originally described—rather than as control of the task's corresponding joint space motion obtained only after geometric and kine matic transformation. Outside the obstacles' regions of influ ence, we caused the end effector to move in a straight line with an upper speed limit. The artificial potential field ap proach has been extended to collision avoidance for all ma nipulator links. In addition, a joint space artificial potential field is used to satisfy the manipulator internal joint con straints. This method has been implemented in the COSMOS system for a PUMA 560 robot. Real-time collision avoidance demonstrations on moving obstacles have been performed by using visual sensing.
Light Quality–Dependent Nuclear Import of the Plant Photoreceptors Phytochrome A and B (1999)

The phytochrome (phy) family of plant photoreceptors controls various aspects of photomorphogenesis. Overexpression of rice phyA-green fluorescent protein (GFP) and tobacco phyB-GFP fusion proteins in tobacco results in functional photoreceptors. phyA-GFP and phyB-GFP are localized in the cytosol of dark-adapted plants. In our experiments, red light treatment led to nuclear translocation of phyA-GFP and phyB-GFP, albeit with different kinetics. Red light-induced nuclear import of phyB-GFP, but not that of phyA-GFP, was inhibited by far-red light. Far-red light alone only induced nuclear translocation of phyA-GFP. These observations indicate that nuclear import of phyA-GFP is controlled by a very low fluence response, whereas translocation of phyB-GFP is regulated by a low fluence response of phytochrome. Thus, light-regulated nucleocytoplasmic partitioning of phyA and phyB is a major step in phytochrome signaling.
Cloning and molecular characterization of a novel acyl‐CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1‐like gene (PtDGAT1) from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (2011)

We have identified and isolated a cDNA encoding a novel acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)1-like protein, from the diatom microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum (PtDGAT1). The full-length cDNA sequences of PtDGAT1 transcripts revealed that two types of mRNA, PtDGAT1short and PtDGAT1long, were transcribed from the single PtDGAT1 gene. PtDGAT1short encodes a 565 amino acid sequence that is homologous to several functionally characterized higher plant DGAT1 proteins, and 55% identical to the putative DGAT1 of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana, but shows little homology with other available putative and cloned algal DGAT sequences. PtDGAT1long lacks several catalytic domains, owing to a 63-bp nucleotide insertion in the mRNA containing a stop codon. Alternative splicing consisting of intron retention appears to regulate the amount of active DGAT1 produced, providing a possible molecular mechanism for increased triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis in P. tricornutum under nitrogen starvation. DGAT mediates the last committed step in TAG biosynthesis, so we investigated the changes in expression levels of the two types of mRNA following nitrogen starvation inducing TAG accumulation. The abundance of both transcripts was markedly increased under nitrogen starvation, but much less so for PtDGAT1short. PtDGAT1 activity of PtDGAT1short was confirmed in a heterologous yeast transformation system by restoring DGAT activity in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae neutral lipid-deficient quadruple mutant strain (H1246), resulting in lipid body formation. Lipid body formation was only restored upon the expression of PtDGAT1short, and not of PtDGAT1long. The recombinant yeast appeared to display a preference for incorporating saturated C(16) and C(18) fatty acids into TAG.
Cytokeratin expression and vimentin content in large cell anaplastic lymphomas and other non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. (1991)

The immunophenotypes of 74 malignant lymphomas (9 Hodgkin's disease, 19 low-grade B-cell, 20 high-grade B-cell, 8 T-cell, and 18 large cell anaplastic lymphomas [LCAL]) have been characterized with antibodies against leucocyte differentiation antigens, keratin, and vimentin. All the non-LCAL were CD45 positive and keratin negative. The LCALs had a more varied immunophenotype, with CD45 present only in 11 of 18 cases and keratin present in 5 of 18 of these rare lymphomas. The lymphoid origin of these latter cases was proven by gene rearrangement studies. All LCALs were CD30+, and, where tested, vimentin positive. Of four different vimentin monoclonal antibodies tested, V9 and MVI stained the highest number of lymphomas. Positive staining of tumor cells was seen in 61 of 71 cases. Vimentin-negative cases included Burkitt's as well as some follicular lymphomas.

Combined Biosynthetic Pathway For De Novo Production of UDP-Galactose: Catalysis with Multiple Enzymes Immobilized on Agarose Beads (2002)

Regeneration of sugar nucleotides is a critical step in the biosynthetic pathway for the formation of oligosaccharides. To alleviate the difficulties in the production of sugar nucleotides, we have developed a method to produce uridine diphosphate galactose (UDP-galactose). The combined biosynthetic pathway, which involves seven enzymes, is composed of three parts: i) the main pathway to form UDP-galactose from galactose, with the enzymes galactokinase, galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, and inorganic pyrophosphatase, ii) the uridine triphosphate supply pathway catalyzed by uridine monophosphate (UMP) kinase and nucleotide diphosphate kinase, and iii) the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) regeneration pathway catalyzed by polyphosphate kinase with polyphosphate added as an energy resource. All of the enzymes were expressed individually and immobilized through their hexahistidine tags onto nickel agarose beads ("super beads"). The reaction requires a stoichiometric amount of UMP and galactose, and catalytic amounts of ATP and glucose 1-phosphate, all inexpensive starting materials. After continuous circulation of the reaction mixture through the super-bead column for 48 h, 50 % of the UMP was converted into UDP-galactose. The results show that de novo production of UDP-galactose on the super-bead column is more efficient than in solution because of the stability of the immobilized enzymes.
Use of picosecond optical pulses and FET's integrated with printed circuit antennas to generate millimeter wave radiation (1991)

Millimeter-wave radiation has been generated from field effect transistors (FETs) and high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), integrated with printed circuit antennas and illuminated with picosecond optical pulses. Modulation of the millimeter waves was achieved by applying a swept RF signal to the transistor gate. Using this technique, tunable electrical sidebands were added to the optically generated carrier providing a method of transmitting information. The technique also provides increased resolution for use in spectroscopic applications. Heterodyne detection demonstrated that the system continuously generated tunable radiation, constrained by the high-gain antenna, from 45 to 75 GHz.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Suppression of Androgen Receptor-mediated Transactivation and Cell Growth by the Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β in Prostate Cells (2004)

Androgens play important roles in the growth of normal prostate and prostate cancer via binding to the androgen receptor (AR). In addition to androgens, AR activity can also be modulated by selective growth factors and/or kinases. Here we report a new kinase signaling pathway by showing that AR transactivation was repressed by wild type glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3 beta) or constitutively active S9A-GSK3 beta in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, the catalytically inactive kinase mutant GSK3 beta showed little effect on the AR transactivation. The suppression of AR transactivation by GSK3 beta was abolished by the GSK3 beta inhibitor lithium chloride. The in vitro kinase assay showed that GSK3 beta prefers to phosphorylate the amino terminus of AR that may lead to the suppression of activation function 1 activity located in the NH(2)-terminal region of AR. GSK3 beta interrupted the interaction between the NH(2) and COOH termini of AR, and overexpression of the constitutively active form of GSK3 beta, S9A-GSK3 beta, reduced the androgen-induced prostate cancer cell growth in stably transfected CWR22R cells. Together, our data demonstrated that GSK3 beta may function as a repressor to suppress AR-mediated transactivation and cell growth, which may provide a new strategy to modulate the AR-mediated prostate cancer growth.
Syndecans: multifunctional cell-surface co-receptors (1997)

This review will summarize our current state of knowledge of the structure, biochemical properties and functions of syndecans, a family of transmembrane heparan sulphate proteoglycans. Syndecans bind a variety of extracellular ligands via their covalently attached heparan sulphate chains. Syndecans have been proposed to play a role in a variety of cellular functions, including cell proliferation and cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion. Syndecan expression is highly regulated and is cell-type- and developmental-stage-specific. The main function of syndecans appears to be to modulate the ligand-dependent activation of primary signalling receptors at the cell surface. Principal functions of the syndecan core proteins are to target the heparan sulphate chains to the appropriate plasma-membrane compartment and to interact with components of the actin-based cytoskeleton. Several functions of the syndecans, including syndecan oligomerization and actin cytoskeleton association, have been localized to specific structural domains of syndecan core proteins.
Unc45 Activates Hsp90-dependent Folding of the Myosin Motor Domain (2008)

Myosin folding and assembly in striated muscle are mediated by the general chaperones Hsc70 and Hsp90 and involve a myosin-specific co-chaperone related to the Caenorhabditis elegans gene unc-45. Two unc-45 genes are found in vertebrates, a general cell isoform, unc45a, and a striated muscle-specific isoform, unc45b. We have investigated the role of both isoforms of mouse Unc45 in myosin folding using an in vitro synthesis and folding assay. A smooth muscle myosin motor domain (MD) fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) (MD::GFP) was used as substrate, and folding was measured by native gel electrophoresis and functional assays. In the absence of Unc45, the MD::GFP chimera folds poorly. Addition of either Unc45a or Unc45b dramatically enhances the folding in a reaction that is dependent on Hsp90 ATPase activity. Unc45a is more effective than Unc45b with a higher apparent affinity and greater extent of folding. The Unc45-Hsp90 chaperone complex acts late in the folding pathway and promotes motor domain maturation after release from the ribosome. Unc45a behaves kinetically as an activator of the folding reaction by stimulating the rate of the Hsp90-dependent folding by >20-fold with an apparent K(act) of 33 nm. This analysis of vertebrate Unc45 isoforms clearly demonstrates a direct role for Unc45 in Hsp90-mediated myosin motor domain folding and highlights major differences between the isoforms in substrate specificity and mechanism.
