Negative thermal expansion in cubicZrMo2O8: Inelastic neutron scattering and lattice dynamical studies (2004)

Disordered cubic ${\mathrm{ZrMo}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{8}(Pa\overline{3},\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}Z=4)$ is known to display isotropic negative thermal expansion (NTE) below 600 K. We report high-pressure inelastic neutron scattering experiments up to 2.5 kbar in this material using the IN6 spectrometer at Institut Laue-Langevin. The observed phonon softening of about 0.1--0.3 meV for phonons below 8 meV is able to account for the NTE below 100 K. The phonon spectrum in the entire energy range up to 150 meV has been measured using the HRMECS spectrometer at Argonne National Laboratory. The ordered phase (space group $P{2}_{1}3$) of cubic ${\mathrm{ZrMo}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{8}$ has not yet been synthesized. However, we have calculated the phonon spectrum and thermal expansion in this phase for comparison with the known ordered phase of cubic ${\mathrm{ZrW}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{8}$.
An approach to the synthesis of pederin (1977)

Pederin, the vesicant component found in the haemolymph of many species of the staphylinid beetle of the genus Paederus, is a powerful inhibitor of protein synthesis in eucaryotic cells. Hith its nine chiral centers and its unusual functfonality, it is also the most complex, non-proteinaceous insect defensive compound known. This paper describes our progress toward a total synthesis of this fascinating natural product.
Miscellaneous Algorithms for Density Modification (1998)

Various algorithms are described, developed for the dm density modification package, which have not been described elsewhere. Methods are described for the following problems: determination of the absolute scale and overall temperature factor of a data set, by a method which is less dependent on data resolution than Wilson statistics; an efficient interpolation algorithm for averaging and its application to refinement of averaging operators; a method for the automatic determination of averaging masks.
Principles of renal transplantation in the dog: A review. (1997)

The practically relevant body of knowledge available on renal transplantation in the dog is reviewed. A review of the history of renal transplantation is followed by a detailed description of the immunological fundamentals of transplantation, with especial regard to the structures directing rejection, the significance of D-LA-typing and the MLR test serving for their determination, and the possible methods of nonspecific and specific immunosuppression. The most important criteria of recipient and donor selection are presented, together with the main aspects and medicinal protocol of prednisolone-azathioprine and prednisolone-cyclosporin A immunosuppression within the framework of preparation for the surgical intervention. Among the surgical aspects of renal transplantation, first the recommended anaesthetic techniques are outlined, then the three stages of the surgical procedure, i.e. donor nephrectomy, renal perfusion and renal grafting, are described in detail. The last chapter of the article presents the physical, laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods of rejection diagnosis, with special regard to their practical importance and different roles played in signalling the rejection.
You bet-cha: a novel family of transcriptional regulators (2001)

The BET proteins are a novel class of transcriptional regulators whose members can be found in animals, plants and fungi. Founding members are Human RING3, Drosophila Fsh and yeast Bdf1p. BET proteins are distinguished by an N-terminal bromodomain or bromodomains and an ET domain. As predicted by the presence of the bromodomain(s), these proteins have been found to be associated with chromatin. The poorly characterized ET domain functions as a protein-protein interaction motif and may be part of a serine-kinase activity. Other regions ("modular domains"), which are conserved only in certain BET proteins, are likely to provide sub-family specific functions. Genetic, biochemical and molecular techniques have implicated BET proteins in functions as diverse as meiosis, cell cycle control and homeosis. The data suggest that BET proteins may modulate chromatin structure and affect transcription via a sequence-independent mechanism. This review will attempt to summarize current research on BET proteins and envision where future research is likely to lead.
Identification of a Novel Cortactin SH3 Domain-Binding Protein and Its Localization to Growth Cones of Cultured Neurons (1998)

Cortactin is an actin-binding protein that contains several potential signaling motifs including a Src homology 3 (SH3) domain at the distal C terminus. Translocation of cortactin to specific cortical actin structures and hyperphosphorylation of cortactin on tyrosine have been associated with the cortical cytoskeleton reorganization induced by a variety of cellular stimuli. The function of cortactin in these processes is largely unknown in part due to the lack of information about cellular binding partners for cortactin. Here we report the identification of a novel cortactin-binding protein of approximately 180 kDa by yeast two-hybrid interaction screening. The interaction of cortactin with this 180-kDa protein was confirmed by both in vitro and in vivo methods, and the SH3 domain of cortactin was found to direct this interaction. Since this protein represents the first reported natural ligand for the cortactin SH3 domain, we designated it CortBP1 for cortactin-binding protein 1. CortBP1 contains two recognizable sequence motifs within its C-terminal region, including a consensus sequence for cortactin SH3 domain-binding peptides and a sterile alpha motif. Northern and Western blot analysis indicated that CortBP1 is expressed predominately in brain tissue. Immunofluorescence studies revealed colocalization of CortBP1 with cortactin and cortical actin filaments in lamellipodia and membrane ruffles in fibroblasts expressing CortBP1. Colocalization of endogenous CortBP1 and cortactin was also observed in growth cones of developing hippocampal neurons, implicating CortBP1 and cortactin in cytoskeleton reorganization during neurite outgrowth.
Pursuit Speed Compensation in Cortical Area MSTd (2002)

When we move forward the visual images on our retinas expand. Humans rely on the focus, or center, of this expansion to estimate their direction of self-motion or heading and, as long as the eyes are still, the retinal focus corresponds to the heading. However, smooth pursuit eye movements add visual motion to the expanding retinal image and displace the focus of expansion. In spite of this, humans accurately judge their heading during pursuit eye movements even though the retinal focus no longer corresponds to the heading. Recent studies in macaque suggest that correction for pursuit may occur in the dorsal aspect of the medial superior temporal area (MSTd); neurons in this area are tuned to the retinal position of the focus and they modify their tuning to partially compensate for the focus shift caused by pursuit. However, the question remains whether these neurons shift focus tuning more at faster pursuit speeds, to compensate for the larger focus shifts created by faster pursuit. To investigate this question, we recorded from 40 MSTd neurons while monkeys made pursuit eye movements at a range of speeds across simulated self- or object motion displays. We found that most MSTd neurons modify their focus tuning more at faster pursuit speeds, consistent with the idea that they encode heading and other motion parameters regardless of pursuit speed. Across the population, the median rate of compensation increase with pursuit speed was 51% as great as required for perfect compensation. We recorded from the same neurons in a simulated pursuit condition, in which gaze was fixed but the entire display counter-rotated to produce the same retinal image as during real pursuit. This condition yielded the result that retinal cues contribute to pursuit compensation; the rate of compensation increase was 30% of that required for accurate encoding of heading. The difference between these two conditions was significant (P < 0.05), indicating that extraretinal cues also contribute significantly. We found a systematic antialignment between preferred pursuit and preferred visual motion directions. Neurons may use this antialignment to combine retinal and extraretinal compensatory cues. These results indicate that many MSTd neurons compensate for pursuit velocity, pursuit direction as previously reported and pursuit speed, and further implicate MSTd as a critical stage in the computation of egomotion.

Combinatorial approach to cancer immunotherapy: strength in numbers (2016)

Immune-checkpoint blockade therapy with antibodies targeting CTLA-4 and PD-1 has revolutionized melanoma treatment by eliciting responses that can be remarkably durable and is now advancing to other malignancies. However, not all patients respond to immune-checkpoint inhibitors. Extensive preclinical evidence suggests that combining immune-checkpoint inhibitors with other anti-cancer treatments can greatly improve the therapeutic benefit. The first clinical success of the combinatorial approach to cancer immunotherapy was demonstrated using a dual-checkpoint blockade with CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitors, which resulted in accelerated FDA approval of this therapeutic regimen. In this review, we discuss the combinations of current and emerging immunotherapeutic agents in clinical and preclinical development and summarize the insights into potential mechanisms of synergistic anti-tumor activity gained from animal studies. These promising combinatorial partners for the immune-checkpoint blockade include therapeutics targeting additional inhibitory receptors of T cells, such as TIM-3, LAG-3, TIGIT, and BTLA, and agonists of T cell costimulatory receptors 4-1BB, OX40, and GITR, as well as agents that promote cancer cell recognition by the immune system, such as tumor vaccines, IDO inhibitors, and agonists of the CD40 receptor of APCs. We also review the therapeutic potential of regimens combining the immune-checkpoint blockade with therapeutic interventions that have been shown to enhance immunogenicity of cancer cells, including oncolytic viruses, RT, epigenetic therapy, and senescence-inducing therapy.
Is the Corrolate Macrocycle Innocent or Noninnocent? Magnetic Susceptibility, Mössbauer, 1H NMR, and DFT Investigations of Chloro- and Phenyliron Corrolates (2002)

In an attempt to determine the electron configuration of (anion)iron corrolates, i.e., whether they are S = 1 Fe(IV)-corrolate(3-) or S = 3/2 Fe(III)-corrolate(2-*), with antiferromagnetic coupling between the iron and macrocycle electrons to yield overall S = 1, two axial ligand complexes of an iron octaalkylcorrolate have been studied by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, magnetic Mössbauer, and 1H NMR spectroscopy, and the results have been compared to those determined on the basis of spin-unrestricted DFT calculations. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate the presence of a noninnocent macrocycle (corrolate (2-*)) for the chloroiron corrolate, with strong antiferromagnetic coupling to the S = 3/2 Fe(III) center, while those for the phenyliron corrolate are not conclusive as to the electron configuration. Temperature- and field-dependent Mössbauer spectroscopic investigations of these two complexes yielded spectra that could be simulated with either electron configuration, except that the isomer shift of the phenyl-iron complex is -0.10 mm/s while that of the chloroiron complex is +0.21 mm/s, suggesting that the iron in the former is Fe(IV) while in the latter it is Fe(III). 1H NMR spectroscopic studies of both axial ligand complexes show large negative spin density at the meso carbons, with those of the chloroiron complex (Cai, S.; Walker, F. A.; Licoccia, S. Inorg. Chem. 2000, 39, 3466) being roughly four times larger than those of the phenyliron complex. The temperature dependence of the proton chemical shifts of the phenyliron complex is strictly linear. DFT calculations are consistent with the chloroiron complex being formulated as S1 = 3/2 Fe(III)-corrolate (2-*) S2 = 1/2, with negative spin density at all nitrogens and meso carbons, and a net spin density of -0.79 on the corrolate ring and positive spin density (+0.17) on the chloride ion and +2.58 on the iron. In contrast, the phenyliron complex is best formulated as S = 1 Fe(IV)-corrolate (3-), but again with negative spin density at all nitrogens and meso carbons of the macrocycle, yet with the net spin density on the corrolate ring being virtually zero; the phenyl carbanion carbon has relatively large negative spin density of -0.15 and the iron +2.05. On the basis of all of the results, we conclude that in both the chloroiron and phenyliron complexes the corrolate ring is noninnocent, in the chloroiron complex to a much larger extent than in the phenyliron complex.
STANDARD FOR THE FORMAT OF ARPA INTERNET TEXT MESSAGES (1982)

This document revises the specifications in RFC 733, in order to serve

simplify the standard and the software that follows it, these features
have been removed. A different addressing scheme is used, to handle
the case of internetwork mail; and the concept of re-transmission has
been introduced. Obsoletes RFC 733, NIC 41952.
Partial synthesis and properties of a series of N-acyl sphingomyelins. (1987)

A series of sphingomyelins (SM) with different chain length fatty acids (C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C20:0, C22:0, and C24:0) N-linked to the primary amino group of sphingosine have been synthesized starting with bovine brain SM. Two different acid hydrolysis procedures, butanolic HCl (H. Kaller, 1961. Biochem. Z. 334: 451-456) and methanolic HCl (R.C. Gaver and C.C. Sweeley. 1965. J. Am. Oil Chem. Soc. 42: 294-298), were used and the resultant sphingosylphosphocholine (SPC) was converted to SM using two acylation methods: using fatty acid imidazolide to yield the O-acyl, N-acyl SPC, followed by mild alkaline hydrolysis for selective deacylation at the O-acyl linkage, and selective acylation at the amino group of SPC using the free fatty acid in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodimide. Following chromatographic purification, N-acyl SM were obtained in high yield (80-90%), and were characterized by a combination of thin-layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, chemical analysis, optical rotation, circular dichroism, infrared spectroscopy, 13C NMR, and sphingosine base analysis. The N-acyl SM were chemically homogeneous with respect to fatty acid composition and the sphingosine base composition resembled that of the starting bovine brain SM. However, as a consequence of the epimerization at C-3 of SPC in both acid hydrolysis procedures, the resulting N-acyl SM consisted of mixtures of D-erythro and L-threo sphingomyelins. By differential scanning calorimetry hydrated C14:0 to C24:0 SM exhibited gel-liquid crystal transitions in the range 30-50 degrees C but the chain length dependence was complex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Present and future evolution of advanced breast cancer therapy (2010)

Although the introduction of novel therapies and drug combinations has improved the prognosis of metastatic breast cancer, the disease remains incurable. Increased knowledge of the biology and the molecular alterations in breast cancer has facilitated the design of targeted therapies. These agents include receptor and nonreceptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (epidermal growth factor receptor family), intracellular signaling pathways (phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, AKT, mammalian target of rapamycin) angiogenesis inhibitors and agents that interfere with DNA repair (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors). In the present review, we present the most promising studies of these new targeted therapies and novel combinations of targeted therapies with cytotoxic agents.
Animal Models of Arthritis: Relevance to Human Disease (1999)

Animal models of arthritis are used to evaluate potential antiarthritis drugs for clinical use. Therefore capacity of the model to predict efficacy in human disease is one of the most important criteria in model selection. Animal models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a proven track record of predictability include rat adjuvant arthritis, rat type II collagen arthritis, mouse type II collagen arthritis, and antigen-induced arthritis in several species. Agents currently in clinical use (or trials) that are active in these models include corticosteroids, methotrexate, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cyclosporin A, leflunomide, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors. For some of these agents, the models also predict that toxicities seen at higher doses for prolonged periods would preclude dosing in humans at levels that might provide disease-modifying effects. Animal models of osteoarthritis (OA) include mouse and guinea pig spontaneous OA, meniscectomy and ligament transection in guinea pigs, meniscectomy in rabbits, and meniscectomy and cruciate transection in dogs. None of these models have a proven track record of predictability in human disease because there are no agents that have been proven to provide anything other than symptomatic relief in human OA. Efficacy data and features of the various models of RA and OA are discussed with emphasis on their proven relevance to human disease.
ARID proteins: a diverse family of DNA binding proteins implicated in the control of cell growth, differentiation, and development. (2002)

The ARID family of DNA binding proteins was first recognized approximately 5 years ago. The founding members, murine Bright and Drosophila dead ringer (Dri), were independently cloned on the basis of their ability to bind to AT-rich DNA sequences, although neither cDNA encoded a recognizable DNA binding domain. Mapping of the respective binding activities revealed a shared but previously unrecognized DNA binding domain, the consensus sequence of which extends across approximately 100 amino acids. This novel DNA binding domain was designated AT-rich interactive domain (ARID), based on the behavior of Bright and Dri. The consensus sequence occurs in 13 distinct human proteins and in proteins from all sequenced eukaryotic organisms. The majority of ARID-containing proteins were not cloned in the context of DNA binding activity, however, and their features as DNA binding proteins are only beginning to be investigated. The ARID region itself shows more diversity in structure and function than the highly conserved consensus sequence suggests. The basic structure appears to be a series of six alpha-helices separated by beta-strands, loops, or turns, but the structured region may extend to an additional helix at either or both ends of the basic six. It has also become apparent that the DNA binding activity of ARID-containing proteins is not necessarily sequence specific. What is consistent is the evidence that family members play vital roles in the regulation of development and/or tissue-specific gene expression. Inappropriate expression of ARID proteins is also increasingly implicated in human tumorigenesis. This review summarizes current knowledge about the structure and function of ARID family members, with a particular focus on the human proteins.

Supercritical CO2Fractionation of Bio-oil Produced from Mixed Biomass of Wheat and Wood Sawdust (2009)

Interest in the biomass as a source of fuel, chemicals, and materials is growing fast. The bio-oil derived from biomass is attractive due to its renewability and the fact that it is CO2 balanced and sulfur free. The physical and chemical characteristics of biomass (i.e. wheat−wood sawdust) were estimated using proximate analysis, calorific value, crystallinity, devolatalization behavior, and ultimate analysis. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) of ash, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and composition of water-soluble sugars of mixed biomass (wheat−wood sawdust) were also carried out. For commercial purposes, the same biomass was used for conversion to bio-oil by fast pyrolysis process. In order to investigate its properties, bio-oil was systematically characterized using different measurements such as proximate analysis and calorific value, whereas the chemical composition of bio-oil was estimated using CHNS, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gas chromatography flame ionization detection (GC-FID), and GC/MS. The bio-oil obtained was a mixture of hydrocarbons, pyranoids, furanoids, benzenoids, and fatty acids/alcohols along with 45% of water. The high amount of water present in bio-oil forms an azeotrope with organic polar compounds. The organic fraction of the bio-oil was isolated by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC−CO2), and it was observed that the first fraction of SC−CO2 extraction collected at 25 MPa was enriched with furanoids (9.9%), pyranoids (9.0%), and bezenoids (44.8%). The organic fraction present in the bio-oil was extracted by organic solvents, and the yields and chemical compositions of products were compared with those obtained from SC−CO2 fractions.
Spin transfer effect in magnetic tunnel junction with low resistance (2005)

In this work, current-induced-magnetization-switching (CIMS) in low resistance magnetic tunnel junction structure (RA MTJ) with relatively low critical current density is demonstrated. The MTJ structure is composed of Si/SiO/sub 2//bottom electrode/Ta/IrMn/CoFe/Al/CoFe/Ta/top electrode. The magneto-resistance (MR) ratio induced by current is up to 16%. Furthermore, in order to decrease the critical current density, adding a nanogranular layer in the MTJ multilayer structure is proposed which will reduce the critical current density and remain high MR signal.
