Evaluation of an EEG workload model in an Aegis simulation environment (2005)

The integration of real-time electroencephalogram (EEG) workload indices into the man-machine interface could greatly enhance performance of complex tasks, transforming traditionally passive human-system interaction (HSI) into an active exchange where physiological indicators adjust the interaction to suit a user’s engagement level. The envisioned outcome is a closed-loop system that utilizes EEG and other physiological indices for dynamic regulation and optimization of HSI in real-time. As a first step towards a closed-loop system, five individuals performed as identification supervisors (IDSs) in an Aegis command and control (C<sup>2</sup>) simulated environment, a combat system with advanced, automatic detect-and-track, multi-function phased array radar. The Aegis task involved monitoring multiple data sources (i.e., missile-tracks, alerts, queries, resources), detecting required actions, responding appropriately, and ensuring system status remains within desired parameters. During task operation, a preliminary workload measure calculated in real-time for each second of EEG and was used to manipulate the Aegis task demands. In post-hoc analysis, the use of a five-level workload measure to detect cognitively challenging events was evaluated. Events in decreasing order of difficulty were track selection-identification, alert-responses, hooking-tracks, and queries. High/extreme EEG-workload occurred during high cognitive-load tasks with a detection efficiency approaching 100% for selection-identification and alert-responses, 77% for hooking-tracks and 70% for queries. Over 95% of high/extreme EEG-workload across participants occurred during high-difficulty events (false positive rate < 5%). The high/extreme workload occurred between 25-30% of time. These results suggest an intelligent closed-loop system incorporating EEG-workload measures could be designed to re-allocate tasks and aid in efficiently streamlining a user’s cognitive workload. Such an approach could ensure the operator remains uninterrupted during high/extreme workload periods, thereby resulting in increased productivity and reduced errors.
Activation of Stat3 Sequence-specific DNA Binding and Transcription by p300/CREB-binding Protein-mediated Acetylation (2005)

Signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat) belong to a family of latent cytoplasmic factors that can be activated by tyrosine phosphorylation by members of the Jak tyrosine kinase family in response to a variety of cytokines and growth factors. Activated Stats form dimers and translocate into nucleus to induce expression of critical genes essential for normal cellular events. Here we report for the first time that Stat3 can be modified by acetylation both in vivo and in vitro. A major site of Stat3 that is acetylated by its coactivator, p300/CREB-binding protein (CBP), resides in the C-terminal transcriptional activation domain at lysine 685. Furthermore, the acetylation of Stat3 can stimulate its sequence-specific DNA binding ability and transactivation activity. Inhibition of histone deacetylase activity in cells results in increased Stat3 nuclear localization. These observations clearly indicate a novel mechanism for Stat3 activation in mammalian cells.
Multiplex imaging with multiple-pinhole cameras (1974)

When making photographs in x rays or γ rays with a multiple-pinhole camera, the individual images of an extended object such as the sun may be allowed to overlap; then the situation is in many ways analogous to that in a multiplexing device such as a Fourier spectroscope. Some advantages and problems arising with such use of the camera are discussed, and expressions are derived to describe the relative efficacy of three exposure/postprocessing schemes using multiple-pinhole cameras.
The Spectrum of Normolipemic Plane Xanthoma (1993)

Normolipemic plane xanthoma (NPX) is a well-characterized clinicopathologic entity distinct from necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG). We present the case of a patient with the classic clinical course of NPX but with many histologic features in common with NXG, namely, multinucleated lipophages, cholesterol clefts, and degeneration of collagen with associated cellular necrosis (necrobiosis). We suggest that NPX and NXG represent part of a spectrum of xanthomatous dermal reactions associated with paraproteinemias and may be more closely related than previously recognized.
Intramuscular dexmedetomidine premedication—an alternative to midazolam‐fentanyl‐combination in elective hysterectomy? (1994)

Sedation, anxiolysis, intubation responses and fentanyl anaesthetic requirements were investigated in a double-blind, randomized study in twenty ASA I-II elective hysterectomy patients. Ten patients received dexmedetomidine 2.5 micrograms kg-1 i.m. 60 min before induction and saline placebo i.v. 2 min prior to induction (= DP group). Ten patients received midazolam 0.08 mg kg-1 i.m. 60 min and fentanyl 1.5 micrograms kg-1 i.v. (= MF group) 2 min before induction of anaesthesia with thiopentone 4 mg kg-1. Anaesthesia was maintained with 70% nitrous oxide in oxygen and with fentanyl 2 micrograms kg-1 i.v. increments according to predetermined criteria. Both premedications induced sedation (P < 0.01 in both groups) and anxiolysis (P < 0.01 in DP vs P < 0.05 in MF group) without any differences between the groups. Haemodynamic changes following tracheal intubation did not significantly differ between the groups. Intraoperatively systolic and diastolic arterial pressure were 15% and 13% lower in DP group (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05 for drug effect), the mean heart rate was approximately 9 beats min-1 lower in DP group (n.s.). Fentanyl was required more often in MF group: median 3.5 (QD 1.5) vs. 2.5 (QD 0.5) times in DP group (P < 0.05), the total amount being 57% smaller in DP group: 0.03 (QD 0.01) vs. 0.07 (QD 0.02) micrograms kg-1 min-1 (P < 0.05). Postoperative course and analgesic requirements were similar in both groups. Dexmedetomidine premedication may offer an alternative to current anaesthesia practice in elective hysterectomy.
Botulinum Toxin in Painful Diseases (2003)

The exceptionally successful history of botulinum toxin and its likely future has hardly an equivalent. Initially, it was used in strabismus, blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm, later also in focal dystonia and spasticity and it has been shown to effectively treat wrinkles, hyperhidrosis and a great number of ensuing indications. By treating sympto
Characterization and Physiological Function of Class I Low-Molecular-Mass, Heat-Shock Protein Complex in Soybean (1995)

Examination of an ammonium sulfate-enriched fraction (70-100% saturation) of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of a high molecular mass complex (280 kD) in soybean (Glycine max) seedlings. This complex cross-reacted with antibodies raised against soybean class I low-molecular-mass (LMW) HSPs. Dissociation of the complex by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed the complex to contain at least 15 polypeptides of the 15-to 18-kD class I LMW HSPs that could be detected by staining, radiolabeling, and western blotting. A similar LMW-HSP complex was observed in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.; 295 kD), in pea (Pisum sativum L.; 270 kD), and in rice (Oryza sativa L.; 310 kD). The complex was stable under high salt conditions (250 mM KCI), and the integrity was not affected by 1% Nonidet P-40 and 3 [mu]g/ML RNase treatment. The size of the isolated HSP complex in vitro was conserved to 55[deg]C; however, starting at 37.5[deg]C, it changed to higher molecular forms in the presence of soluble proteins. The isolated HSP complex was able to protect up to 75% of the soluble proteins from heat denaturation in vitro.
Generation of an Inbred Miniature Pig Model of Retinitis Pigmentosa (2012)

Expression of the human RHO P23H transgene in the retina creates a miniature swine model with an inheritance pattern and retinal function that mimics adRP. This large-animal model can serve as a novel tool for the study of the pathogenesis and therapeutic intervention in the most common form of adRP.
Synthesis and preliminary anticancer activity of new 1 H -4,5-dihydro-3-(3-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)-4-substituted-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones. Part II (2005)

The compounds 1H-4,5-dihydro-3-(3-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)-4-substituted-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones have been synthesised from 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid hydrazide in two steps. The structural elucidation of the synthesised compounds has been performed by 1 H NMR and mass spectroscopic data besides elemental analyses. Some of the compounds are tested in vitro for their ability to inhibit growth of 60 different human cancer cell lines by the National Cancer Institute and notable cytotoxic effect on some cancer cell lines is observed from some of them as expected in comparison with the control agent 5-fluorouracil.
Link-level measurements from an 802.11b mesh network (2004)

This paper analyzes the causes of packet loss in a 38-node urban multi-hop 802.11b network. The patterns and causes of loss are important in the design of routing and error-correction protocols, as well as in network planning.The paper makes the following observations. The distribution of inter-node loss rates is relatively uniform over the whole range of loss rates; there is no clear threshold separating "in range" and "out of range." Most links have relatively stable loss rates from one second to the next, though a small minority have very bursty losses at that time scale. Signal-to-noise ratio and distance have little predictive value for loss rate. The large number of links with intermediate loss rates is probably due to multi-path fading rather than attenuation or interference.The phenomena discussed here are all well-known. The contributions of this paper are an understanding of their relative importance, of how they interact, and of the implications for MAC and routing protocol design.
Kinetics and mechanism of dehydrochlorination of N-aryl-C-ethoxycarbonylformohydrazidoyl chlorides (1986)

The kinetics of triethylamine (TEA) catalyzed deydrochlorination of a series of N-aryl-C-ethoxycarbonylformohydrazidoyl chlorides 1a–m have been studied under pseudo-first-order conditions in 4:1 (v/v) dioxane–water solution at 30 °C. For all compounds studied, the kinetics followed the rate law: k obs = k 2 (TEA). The values of the overall second-order rate constants for the studied compounds were correlated by the equation: log k 2 = 0.533σ − -0.218. The results are compatible with a mechanism involving a fast reversible deprotonation step leading to the anion of 1, followed by rate-determining step involving the loss of the chloride ion from the anion. The reaction constants of these two steps were estimated to be 0.845 and −0.312, respectively.
Nuclease-resistant immunostimulatory phosphodiester CpG oligodeoxynucleotides as human Toll-like receptor 9 agonists (2011)

This study showed that PD-ODN2006-2006 and PD-ODN-2006-2006-2006 can be used as potentially safe agonists for hTLR9 activation instead of CpG ODNs with a PTO backbone. We propose these CpG ODNs consisting of only a PD backbone as a novel class of CpG ODN.

Ligand- and Base-Free Copper(II)-Catalyzed C−N Bond Formation:  Cross-Coupling Reactions of Organoboron Compounds with Aliphatic Amines and Anilines (2003)

[reaction: see text] A ligandless and base-free Cu-catalyzed protocol for the cross-coupling of arylboronic acids and potassium aryltrifluoroborate salts with primary and secondary aliphatic amines and anilines is described. The process utilizes catalytic copper(II) acetate monohydrate and 4 A molecular sieves in dichloromethane at slightly elevated temperatures under an atmosphere of oxygen. A broad range of functional groups are tolerated on both of the cross-coupling partners.
NMR Solution Structure of a Peptide Nucleic Acid Complexed with RNA (1994)

Peptide nucleic acids (PNA) incorporating nucleic acid bases into an achiral polyamide backbone bind to DNA in a sequence-dependent manner. The structure of a PNA-ribonucleic acid (RNA) complex was determined with nuclear magnetic resonance methods. A hexameric PNA formed a 1:1 complex with a complementary RNA that is an antiparallel, right-handed double helix with Watson-Crick base pairing similar to the "A" form structure of RNA duplexes. The achiral PNA backbone assumed a distinct conformation upon binding that differed from previously proposed models and provides a basis for further structure-based design of antisense agents.
Developmentally regulated expression of the novel cancer anti-apoptosis gene survivin in human and mouse differentiation. (1998)

Inhibitors of programmed cell death (apoptosis) may regulate tissue differentiation and aberrantly promote cell survival in neoplasia. A novel apoptosis inhibitor of the IAP gene family, designated survivin, was recently found in all of the most common human cancers but not in normal, terminally differentiated adult tissues. The expression of survivin in embryonic and fetal development was investigated. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization studies demonstrated strong expression of survivin in several apoptosis-regulated fetal tissues, including the stem cell layer of stratified epithelia, endocrine pancreas, and thymic medulla, with a pattern that did not overlap with that of another apoptosis inhibitor, bcl-2. A sequence-specific antibody to survivin immunoblotted a single approximately 16.5-kd survivin band in human fetal lung, liver, heart, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. In mouse embryo, prominent and nearly ubiquitous distribution of survivin was found at embryonic day (E)11.5, whereas at E15 to -21, survivin expression was restricted to the distal bronchiolar epithelium of the lung and neural-crest-derived cells, including dorsal root ganglion neurons, hypophysis, and the choroid plexus. These data suggest that expression of survivin in embryonic and fetal development may contribute to tissue homeostasis and differentiation independently of bcl-2. Aberrations of this developmental pathway may result in prominent re-expression of survivin in neoplasia and abnormally prolonged cell viability.
Protein kinase C involvement in homologous desensitization of delta- opioid receptor coupled to Gi1-phospholipase C activation in Xenopus oocytes (1995)

We have developed the coexpression system of both delta-opioid receptor (DOR1) and M2-muscarinic receptor (M2) which mediate agonist-evoked currents due to common post-receptor mechanisms including Gi1 and phospholipase C (PLC) activation in Xenopus oocytes reconstituted with Gi1 alpha. The DOR1-currents by 100 nM D-Ser2-leu-enkephalin-Thr6 (DSLET) were selectively desensitized by 10 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The PMA-desensitization of DSLET-currents was abolished in the presence of calphostin C, a protein kinase C inhibitor, or reversed by an intracellular injection of calcineurin, a protein phosphatase 2B. When a higher concentration (3 microM) of DSLET was used, DSLET-currents were rapidly desensitized by repeated challenges of DSLET itself. However, repeated challenges of 10 microM ACh caused no influence on such DSLET- or M2-currents. The desensitization of DSLET-currents was selectively reversed by protein kinase C inhibitors. Similar results were also obtained with various delta-opioid agonists. These results suggest that protein kinase C is involved in the homologous desensitization of delta-opioid receptors.
CD28 is an inducible T cell surface antigen that transduces a proliferative signal in CD3+ mature thymocytes. (1990)

The rearrangement of TCR genes during thymic ontogeny creates a repertoire of T cell specificities that is refined to ensure the deletion of autoreactive clones and the MHC restriction of T cell responses. Signals delivered via the accessory molecules CD2, CD4, and CD8 have a crucial role in this phase of T cell differentiation. Recently, CD28 has been identified as a signal transducing molecule on the surface of most mature T cells. Perturbation of the CD28 molecule stimulates a novel pathway of T cell activation regulating the production of a variety of lymphokines including IL-2. We have studied the expression and function of CD28 during thymic ontogeny, and in resting and activated PBL. A variable percentage of resting thymocytes were CD28+ (3 to 25%, n = 8), but it was found in high density only on mature CD3+(bright) CD4/CD8 cells. Both unseparated thymocytes and isolated CD3-CD28-/dull cells proliferated when stimulated with PMA plus IL-2 or PMA plus ionomycin. PMA treatment also rapidly up-regulated CD28 expression in the CD3- subset as these cells became CD3-CD28+(bright). Despite the ability of PMA to induce high density CD28 expression in CD3- cells, CD3- thymocytes did not proliferate in response to PMA plus anti-CD28 mAb, in contrast to unseparated cells. CD3+ thymocytes stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 mAb also failed to proliferate in culture. However, the addition of either IL-2 or anti-CD28 mAb supported proliferation, suggesting that only CD3+ cells could respond to CD28 signaling. The comitogenic effect of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb was IL-2 dependent as it was abrogated by an anti-IL-2R mAb. Interestingly, the expression of CD28 on the cell surface of CD3+ cells was also inducible, as flow cytometric analysis demonstrated a 10-fold increase in cell surface CD28 by 24 to 48 h after anti-CD3 stimulation of both CD3+ thymocytes and peripheral blood T cells. This increase was accounted for by a commensurate increase in CD28 mRNA levels. Together, these results suggest that CD28 is an inducible T cell antigen in both CD3- and CD3+ cells. In addition, stimulation of the CD28 pathway can provide a second signal to support the growth of CD3+ thymocytes stimulated through the TCR/CD3 complex, and may therefore represent a mechanism for positive selection during thymic ontogeny.
Genetic causes of syndromic and non‐syndromic autism (2010)

Comprehensive research into the molecular mechanism of autism is required to aid the development of disease-specific targeted therapies. In order to transfer this recently acquired knowledge into clinical practice, it is critical to define a set of phenotypic inclusion criteria that must be met by affected probands to justify their enrolment in a specific genetic testing programme.

Interspecies variation of compressive biomechanical properties of the meniscus (1995)

Various animal models have been used to investigate the normal and reparative properties of the knee meniscus. Yet, only limited data on meniscal biomechanical properties of various animals are available. It was therefore the objective of this study to compare measurements of meniscal biomechanical properties between six species: human, bovine, monkey, canine, sheep, and porcine. Uniaxial confined compression tests were conducted on 1-mm-thick, 4-mm-diameter meniscal discs, and the viscoelastic creep deformation was obtained. Two biomechanical parameters, the aggregate modulus (HA) and permeability (K), were found by implementing the linear biphasic theory and a newly developed nonlinear regression scheme. A one-way analysis of variance was conducted along with Student-Newman-Keuls comparison tests to assess the differences in these parameters among the species. Sheep menisci exhibited HA and K values most similar to human menisci. The water content of each specimen was also measured and correlated significantly with K. The interspecies variations found in material properties of the knee meniscus indicate the need for caution in extrapolating data on the biomechanical behavior of the human meniscus from animal models.
