Multi-Distance Depth-Resolved Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (2014)

A DCS method that quantifies changes in cerebral blood flow by simultaneously acquiring data at multiple source-detector distances (7, 20, and 30 mm) directly on the scalp, skull and brain of adolescent pigs is presented.
Camera calibration with lens distortion and from vanishing points (2009)

Camera calibration is a fundamental task in computer vision and photogrammetry. This paper presents an approach for automatic estimation of intrinsic parameters from images by using vanishing points with orthogonal directions. Firstly, image lines are extracted and are clustered into groups corresponding to three dominant vanishing points. Second, camera parameters including the radial distortion are estimated by adjusting linear parameters locating the images. Finally, the rotation matrix of the projection matrix is computed from the vanishing points, and the image edges and the translation matrix are obtained with the help of additional translation motion between the viewpoints. Our approach does not need any a priori information about the cameras being used. Experiments to evaluate the performance of this approach on synthetic and real data are reported.
Enzymatic glycerolysis of palm oil fractions and a palm oil based model mixture: Relationship between fatty acid composition and monoglyceride yield (1993)

Abstract Palm oil, palm stearin, palm olein and mixtures of palm stearin with rapeseed oil were reacted with glycerol at low moisture content using lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens as catalyst. The content of monoglyceride (MG) in the reaction mixture at equilibrium was found to be higher at lower temperatures except for palm stearin where a higher diglyceride (DG) content was obtained. High temperature GC analysis revealed that at lower reaction temperatures the predominant reaction product was monopalmitin or, in the case of palm stearin, dipalmitin. Separation of the MG and DG fractions followed by determination of the fatty acid composition showed that at higher reaction temperatures the fatty acids were randomly distributed in these fractions but at 30–40 °C the saturated fatty acids were preferentially located in the MG fraction. A strong positive correlation was found between saturated fatty acid content and yield of MG at lower reaction temperatures.
Simultaneous detection of multiple single-base alleles at a polymorphic site. (1991)

PCR amplification of multiple specific alleles (PAMSA) is a rapid method of detecting single-base polymorphisms. We demonstrate its utility by detecting a polymorphism in an Alu sequence in the factor IX gene.
Device-to-device communication as an underlay to LTE-advanced networks (2009)

In this article device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying a 3GPP LTE-Advanced cellular network is studied as an enabler of local services with limited interference impact on the primary cellular network. The approach of the study is a tight integration of D2D communication into an LTE-Advanced network. In particular, we propose mechanisms for D2D communication session setup and management involving procedures in the LTE System Architecture Evolution. Moreover, we present numerical results based on system simulations in an interference limited local area scenario. Our results show that D2D communication can increase the total throughput observed in the cell area.
Rapid discrimination of early CD34+ myeloid progenitors using CD45-RA analysis (1993)

Mononuclear cells (MNC) isolated by density centrifugation of cord blood and healthy bone marrow, and of peripheral blood (PB) from patients treated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or G-CSF after chemotherapy, were double-stained with anti CD34 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) (8G12) versus anti CD45, CD45-RB, CD45- RO, and CD45-RA, respectively, and analyzed by flow cytometry. In all specimens, CD34+ MNC co-expressed CD45 at a low level and the expression of CD45-RB was similar or slightly higher. Most CD34+ MNC were negative for CD45-RO, a weak coexpression was only seen in some bone marrow (BM) and blood samples. In contrast, CD45-RA could subdivide the CD34+ population into fractions negative, dim (+), and normal positive (++) for these subgroups, and typical staining patterns were observed for the different sources of hematopoietic cells: in BM, most CD34+ MNC were RA++. In PB, their majority was RA++ after G-CSF but RA+ or RA- after GM-CSF. In cord blood, the hematopoietic progenitors were mainly RA-/RO-. Semisolid culture of sorted CD34+ MNC showed that clusters and dispersed (late) colony-forming unit-GM (CFU- GM) originated from 34+/RA++ cells, while the 34+/RA- MNC formed compact and multicentric, both white and red colonies derived from early progenitors. Addition of 20 ng stem cell factor per milliliter of medium containing 34+/RA- cord blood MNC led to a change of many burst- forming unit-erythrocyte (BFU-E) to CFU-mix which was not, at least to this extent, seen in blood and BM. We conclude that early myeloid CD34+ cells are 45+/RA-. Because this population excludes 34+/19+ B cells and 33+ myeloid cells, both of which are RA++, two-color flow cytometric analysis using CD34 and CD45-RA facilitates the characterization and quantification of early myeloid progenitor cells.

Mitogen inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β in intact cells via serine 9 phosphorylation (1994)

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), a protein-serine kinase implicated in cell-fate determination and differentiation, phosphorylates several regulatory proteins that are activated by dephosphorylation in response to hormones or growth factors. GSK-3 beta is phosphorylated in vitro at serine 9 by p70 S6 kinase and p90rsk-1, resulting in its inhibition [Sutherland, Leighton, and Cohen (1993) Biochem. J. 296, 15-19]. Using HeLa cells expressing GSK-3 beta or a mutant containing alanine at residue 9, we demonstrate that serine 9 is modified in intact cells and is targeted specifically by p90rsk-1, and that phosphorylation leads to loss of activity. Since p90rsk-1 is directly activated by mitogen-activated protein kinases, agonists of this pathway, such as insulin, repress GSK-3 function.
Bacterial superglue generates a full-length circumsporozoite protein virus-like particle vaccine capable of inducing high and durable antibody responses (2016)

This study demonstrates that the high-density display of CSP on SpyTag-VLPs, significantly increases the level and quality of the vaccine-induced humoral response, compared to a control vaccine consisting of soluble CSP plus AP205 VLPs. The SpyTag-VLP platform utilized in this study constitutes a versatile and rapid method to develop highly immunogenic vaccines. It might serve as a generic tool for the cost-effective development of effective VLP-vaccines, e.g., against malaria.
A routing strategy for MAN interconnection (1991)

The authors propose a combined routing strategy to overcome the problems connected with applying routing schemes usually adopted in bridged LANs to a LAN-MAN (metropolitan area network) internet. The strategy uses a spanning tree for multicasting within user groups, and shortest paths for point-to-point forwarding. The authors show that the algorithms can scale up efficiently to large network sizes. They also present various enhancements of the basic algorithms, which can substantially improve performance in specific environments.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Transport Layer Security over Stream Control Transmission Protocol (2002)

This document describes the usage of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, as defined in RFC 2246, over the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), as defined in RFC 2960 and RFC 3309.The user of TLS can take advantage of the features provided by SCTP, namely the support of multiple streams to avoid head of line blocking and the support of multi-homing to provide network level fault tolerance.Additionally, discussions of extensions of SCTP are also supported, meaning especially the support of dynamic reconfiguration of IPaddresses.
Antitumor Agents. 172. Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Deacetamidothiocolchicin-7-ols and Ester Analogs as Antitubulin Agents (1997)

A series of novel 7-O-substituted deacetamidothiocolchicine derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against tubulin polymerization, the binding of [3H]-colchicine to tubulin, and the growth of human Burkitt lymphoma cells. Of these new derivatives, thiocolchicone (8), wherein an acetamido group in thiocolchicine is replaced by a carbonyl oxygen at C(7), was obtained from deacetythiocolchicine (6) by Schiffs base equilibration and acid hydrolysis. Reduction of thiocolchiocone with sodium borohydride yielded the racemic alcohol 9, the structure of which was verified by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Optically pure alcohols 9a,b were obtained by treatment of 9 with the optically pure reagent (1S)-(-)-camphanic chloride followed by chromatographic separation of the camphanate esters and hydrolysis of the diastereomers. X-ray crystallographic analysis established the aS,7S-configuration of 9a. Racemic and optically active esters 11-15, 11a,b, 12a, 14a, and 15a were obtained by esterification of the corresponding alcohols. The compounds showing activity equivalent to or greater than (-)-thiocolchicione (2a) in all the biological assays were three (-)-aS,7S optically pure enantiomers: the alcohol 9a, the acetate 11a (an oxygen isostere of thiocolchicine), and the isonicotinoate 15a. In addition, the ketone 8 and two (-)-aS,7S enantiomers (12a, 14a) had high activity in the biochemical assays with tubulin but reduced antiproliferative activity. In all cases, optically pure isomers with the (-)-aS,7S configuration exhibited greater biological activity than racemic mixtures or isomers or isomers with the (+)-aR,7R configuration.
Ruthenium-Catalyzed Selective α,β-Deuteration of Bioactive Amines (2012)

A novel and convenient protocol for the catalytic hydrogen-deuterium exchange of biologically active tertiary amines utilizing the borrowing hydrogen methodology has been developed. In the presence of the readily available Shvo catalyst, excellent chemoselectivity toward α- and β-protons with respect to the nitrogen atom as well as high degree of deuterium incorporation and functional group tolerance is achieved. This allowed for the deuteration of complex pharmaceutically interesting substrates, including examples for actual marketed drug compounds. Notably, this method constitutes a powerful tool for the generation of valuable internal standard materials for LC-MS/MS analyses highly demanded for various life-science applications.
Mucosally Induced Immunoglobulin E-Associated Inflammation in the Respiratory Tract (2000)

The purpose of the present study was to determine the immunologic responses, particularly immunopathologic reactions, associated with nasal immunization with the mucosal adjuvant, cholera toxin (CT). BALB/c mice were nasally immunized with tetanus toxoid (TT) combined with CT, and the responses of these mice were determined. After nasal immunization, mice produce a serum antibody response, primarily of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) isotype of predominantly IgG1 subclass, against both TT and CT. Along with the antibody responses, we also found that inflammatory reactions, which could be potentially fatal, developed within the lung. Furthermore, IgE responses were also induced after nasal immunization, and these responses were associated with the detection of interleukin 5 in the serum. Thus, nasal immunization with TT plus CT likely results in the activation of Th2 cells, which may contribute to serious immunopathologic reactions in the lung.
Dose effect and efficacy of rFVIIa in the treatment of haemophilia patients with inhibitors: analysis from the Hemophilia and Thrombosis Research Society Registry (2005)

Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa), licensed in 1999 for treatment of haemophilia patients with inhibitors (HI), represents an important advance in the therapeutic armamentarium. Standard bolus dosing ranges from 90 to 120 mcg kg(-1) every 2-3 h until arrest of bleeding. As licensure, clinical use of rFVIIa has increased and broadened. Clinicians now use a wide dose range, 90-300 mcg kg(-1). High-dose regimens may optimize thrombin generation or burst, and may allow for prolonged dose interval. The Hemophilia and Thrombosis Research Society (HTRS) maintains a registry database to study haemophilia treatment and related disorders, particularly treatment of acute bleeding in HI, acquired haemophilia, FVII deficiency and von Willebrand's disease (VWD). To assess the effect of rFVIIa dose on efficacy and safety in the treatment of acute bleeding in HI, data from the HTRS database from January 2000 through June 2002 were analysed. Bleeding episodes were grouped by bolus rFVIIa dose range: <100, 100-150, 150-200 and >200 mcg kg(-1). Investigator-reported efficacy for the first 72 h of treatment was evaluated. Thirty-eight congenital HI patients were treated for 555 bleeding episodes. Patient age range was 1-55 years (median: 14). Bleeding episodes were spontaneous (45%), caused by trauma (38%), or because of surgery, dental, diagnostic, or medical procedures (17%); bleeding occurred in joint, muscle, and intra/extracranial sites. Treatment location included: 80% at home, 12% at other facilities (treatment centres, ER, inpatient and OR), and 8% at both home/other facilities. Median total dose given over 72 h was 360 mcg kg(-1) (range: 40-4281, mean: 537). Bleeding stopped in 87% of the episodes. Bleeding cessation rate was 84% for the three lower dose groups, and 97% for the highest dose group (P < 0.001). Five patients experienced nine adverse events (AEs). AE rates were <1% for <100, 5% for 100-150, 0% for 150-200, <1% for >200 mcg kg(-1) dose group. Decreased therapeutic response accounted for eight of the nine AEs. These data, which represent the most comprehensive report of rFVIIa use since the USA licensure, demonstrate that bleeding episodes in HI patients can be treated safely and effectively at home and that doses up to 346 mcg kg(-1) appear to be well-tolerated. Additionally, rFVIIa doses >200 mcg kg(-1) appear to significantly increase efficacy (97% in the high-dose group, compared with 84% in the lower dose groups). Optimal dosing remains to be determined; specifically, what the lowest effective dose is and whether a single high-dose bolus eliminates the need for repeated dosing. Recombinant FVIIa appears to have a wide safety margin that may allow dose escalation to address these questions.
Ceramide Kinase, a Novel Lipid Kinase (2002)

Ceramide-1-phosphate is a sphingolipid metabolite that has been implicated in membrane fusion of brain synaptic vesicles and neutrophil phagolysosome formation. Ceramide-1-phosphate can be produced by ATP-dependent ceramide kinase activity, although little is known of this enzyme because it has not yet been highly purified or cloned. Based on sequence homology to sphingosine kinase type 1, we have now cloned a related lipid kinase, human ceramide kinase (hCERK). hCERK encodes a protein of 537 amino acids that has a catalytic region with a high degree of similarity to the diacylglycerol kinase catalytic domain. hCERK also has a putative N-myristoylation site on its NH(2) terminus followed by a pleckstrin homology domain. Membrane but not cytosolic fractions from HEK293 cells transiently transfected with a hCERK expression vector readily phosphorylated ceramide but not sphingosine or other sphingoid bases, diacylglycerol or phosphatidylinositol. This activity was clearly distinguished from those of bacterial or human diacylglycerol kinases. With natural ceramide as a substrate, the enzyme had a pH optimum of 6.0-7.5 and showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with K(m) values of 187 and 32 microm for ceramide and ATP, respectively. Northern blot analysis revealed that hCERK mRNA expression was high in the brain, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, and liver. A BLAST search analysis using the hCERK sequence revealed that putative ceramide kinases (CERKs) exist widely in diverse multicellular organisms including plants, nematodes, insects, and vertebrates. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CERKs are a new class of lipid kinases that are clearly distinct from sphingosine and diacylglycerol kinases. Cloning of CERK should provide new molecular tools to investigate the physiological functions of ceramide-1-phosphate.
Vaccines in cancer: GVAX®, a GM-CSF gene vaccine (2005)

GVAX is a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene-transfected tumor cell vaccine. Original work with GM-CSF as a recombinant DNA protein (Leukine) involved proliferative stimulation of macrophages and neutrophils for the purpose of reducing hematopoietic toxicity related to dose-intensive chemotherapy. Following US Food and Drug Administration approval of Leukine several years ago, extensive preclinical results have demonstrated an immunostimulatory effect related to GM-CSF gene when transfected into tumor cells and used as a vaccine (GVAX). Tumor regression and prolonged survival was demonstrated in animal models. Toxicology with GVAX indicated no adverse effects, which enabled further testing in cancer patients. A small number of responses were demonstrated in Phase I trials in immunosensitive cancer patients (renal cell carcinoma and melanoma). However, a series of dramatic complete and durable responses in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients, demonstrated in recent clinical trials, have generated interest in further development of this vaccine in nontraditional cancer disease types. The rationale of GVAX development and a summary of clinical results are reviewed.
Holographic Methods for Painting Diagnostics (1974)

A holographic method for detecting detached regions between the priming layers and the underlying wood support in panel paintings is described. Experimental results obtained by the application of the method both on laboratory models and on an ancient Italian panel painting are presented. The great advantages that this technique can offer to the conservation and restoration of works of art are emphasized.
A burned mouse model to evaluate anti-pseudomonas activity of topical agents (1982)

A burned mouse model is described for measuring the ability of topically applied agents to prevent burn wound sepsis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This animal model in comparison to previously described laboratory rat models is simpler in design, more economical, and affords earlier results. Following an 8-second flame burn, mice were immediately infected by topical inoculation of the freshly burned skin. A regression analysis of different concentrations of inocula showed a good correlation with both animal mortality and the mean time to death. The antibacterial agents tested included various commercially available products as well as a new experimental surfactant. The results seen in this study were generally comparable with results seen in previously reported test systems or animal models and thus support the relevancy of this particular animal model.
Drug target validation: Lethal infection blocked by inducible peptide (2000)

Genome projects are generating large numbers of potential new targets for drug discovery. One challenge is target validation, proving the usefulness of a specific target in an animal model. In this paper, we demonstrate a new approach to validation and assay development. We selected in vitro specific peptide binders to a potential pathogen target. By inducing the expression of a selected peptide in pathogen cells causing a lethal infection in mice, the animals were rescued. Thus, by combining in vitro selection methods for peptide binders with inducible expression in animals, the target's validity was rigorously tested and demonstrated. This approach to validation can be generalized and has the potential to become a valuable tool in the drug discovery process.
A facile preparation of 2,6‐diarylpyrazines (1998)

2,6-Diarylpyrazines were prepared in good yields by a novel method of condensing methoxycarbonylhydrazine with N,N-bis(arylcarbonylmethyl)-p-toluenesulfonamides, unsymmetrical derivatives of which were synthesized by a new (or different) procedure. The structures of these 2,6-diarylpyrazines were established by spectral data and X-ray diffraction analysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 9:341–345, 1998
