Monitored Anesthesia Care (1994)

The use of sedative and analgesic adjuvants during local and regional anesthesia can improve patient comfort while optimizing intraoperative conditions and increasing the range of procedures that can be safely and comfortably performed. Similarly, these techniques may be applied to procedures in which local anesthetic agents are unnecessary, or in which their administration is impractical. Although local anesthetic-based techniques are frequently perceived as safer than general anesthesia, the use of potent sedative-hypnotic and analgesic drugs (especially when used together) may cause significant depression of respiratory function. The need for vigilant monitoring, supplemental oxygen administration, careful titration of sedative-analgesic medications, and facilities and equipment for resuscitation is no different than when general anesthesia is employed. The availability of agents with more specific actions, shorter half-life values, and fewer adverse side effects, combined with a better understanding of drug actions and interactions, as well as new administration techniques, should make MAC safer and even more acceptable to patients.
Cloning of influenza cDNA into M13: the sequence of the RNA segment encoding the A/PR/8/34 matrix protein (1980)

A strategy has been developed for sequencing the single-stranded RNA genes of influenza virus. Restriction fragments derived from double-stranded cDNA copies of total influenza RNA were cloned into the bacteriophage M13mp2 and sequenced by the dideoxy technique. Sequences were extended and overlapped by using the virion RNA as template and priming with small restriction fragments. In the course of this strategy, the nucleotide sequence of segment 7 (1027 nucleotides) was completed and provides the primary structure of the matrix protein (27, 861 daltons). In addition, there is a second long reading frame which partly overlaps the reading frame of the matrix protein.

Current Trends in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (1999)

With today's increasing emphasis on sporting activities, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries has also increased. Epidemiologic studies estimate that the prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries is about 1 per 3000 Americans. Management of these injuries has evolved from nonoperative treatment to extracapsular augmentation and primary ligament repair to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Treatment of these injuries has significantly improved over the last few decades with the application of knowledge gained from both basic science and clinical research. This article is composed of two parts. The first part reviews the biology and biomechanics of the injured anterior cruciate ligament and the basic science of reconstruction. In the second part, to be published later, current operative concepts of reconstruction, as well as clinical correlations, are reviewed. Summarizing the latest information on basic scientific as well as clinical studies regarding the anterior cruciate ligament, this article intends to demonstrate the correlation between the application of basic science knowledge and improvement of clinical outcomes.

Therapeutic Utility of Phosphodiesterase Type I Inhibitors in Neurological Conditions (2011)

Neuronal plasticity is an essential property of the brain that is impaired in different neurological conditions. Phosphodiesterase type 1 (PDE1) inhibitors can enhance levels of the second messengers cAMP/cGMP leading to the expression of neuronal plasticity-related genes, neurotrophic factors and neuroprotective molecules. These neuronal plasticity enhancement properties make PDE1 inhibitors good candidates as therapeutic agents in many neurological conditions. However, the lack of specificity of the drugs currently available poses a challenge to the systematic evaluation of the beneficial effect of these agents. The development of more specific drugs may pave the way for the use of PDE1 inhibitors as therapeutic agents in cases of neurodevelopmental conditions such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and in degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

A LiCl‐Mediated Br/Mg Exchange Reaction for the Preparation of Functionalized Aryl‐ and Heteroarylmagnesium Compounds from Organic Bromides (2004)

A wide range of aryl and heteroaryl bromides, which are usually sluggish in exchange reactions, are readily converted into the corresponding Grignard reagents by means of a Br/Mg exchange reaction triggered by iPrMgCl⋅LiCl (see scheme). These Grignard intermediates react with electrophiles in good yields.

We demonstrate single-mode photonic wires in silicon-on-insulator with propagation loss as low as 2.4 dB/cm, fabricated with deep ultraviolet lithography and dry etching. We have also made compact racetrack and ring resonators functioning as add-drop filters, attaining Q values larger than 3000 and low add-drop crosstalk.
Fuel Cell Studies on a Non-Noble Metal Catalyst Prepared by a Template-Assisted Synthesis Route (2008)

The catalytic activity of a templated catalyst material (Fe–N–C), prepared using , pyrrole, and a mesoporous silica gel as template, was investigated. The oxygen reduction reaction activity of the catalyst material was measured using the rotating ring-disk electrode technique, revealing an onset potential of about 0.85 V vs a reversible hydrogen electrode. The catalytic activity of the prepared sample was also tested in a fuel cell for different catalyst loadings using oxygen or air atmospheres. Fuel cell polarization measurements were recorded at . The power densities varied between 0.032 and for different catalyst loadings when oxygen was used. In addition, durability tests were carried out by keeping the cell at 0.6 V for 16 h. The current densities decayed to about 25% of the initial value during this period. The results are compared to state-of-the-art results from the literature. The templated catalyst shows comparable activity to the best catalysts in the literature but its durability requires improvement.
Does vasopressin contribute to salt-induced hypertension in the Dahl strain? (1981)

A humoral factor has been implicated in Dahl salt-sensitive genetically hypertensive rats. The goal of this study was to evaluate the pressor role of vasopressin (AVP) in Dahl rats. Salt-sensitive (S) and resistant (R) rats were fed either high (8%) or low (.04%) NaCl diets for 6 to 8 weeks. Blood pressure was elevated in S rats fed high salt diets (p less than 0.05). Plasma AVP increased with high salt diet in both groups (p less than 0.05), but was higher in S than R rats (2.0 +/- 0.3 and 1.3 +/- 0.2 microU/ml respectively, mean +/- SE, p less than 0.05). With low salt diet, plasma AVP did not differ significantly in S and R rats (1.0 +/- 0.2 and 0.7 +/- 0.2 microU/ml respectively). Pressor responses to intravenous injection of AVP were greater in S than R rats (p less than 0.05), but this difference was also observed with pressor responses to norepinephrine (S greater than R, p less than 0.05); there was no difference in pressor responses to AVP in S rats fed high vs low salt diet. Injection of 50 micrograms of d(CH2)5 VDAVP, which selectively inhibits vasoconstrictor effects of AVP, failed to lower blood pressure in S and R rats fed high or low salt diets despite the fact that this dose decreased pressor responses to 8 microU of AVP more than 90%. Although plasma AVP and vasopressor responses to AVP and NE are slightly elevated in S rats fed high salt, results with d(CH2)5 VDAVP suggest that vasoconstrictor effects of AVP do not play an important role in the maintenance of hypertension in Dahl S rats.
Synthesis and Immunosuppressive Activity of 2-Substituted 2-Aminopropane-1,3-diols and 2-Aminoethanols (2000)

A series of 2-substituted 2-aminopropane-1,3-diols was synthesized and evaluated for their lymphocyte-decreasing effect and immunosuppressive effect on rat skin allograft. A phenyl ring was introduced into the alkyl chain of the lead compound 3, which is an immunosuppressive agent structurally simplified from myriocin (1, ISP-I) via compound 2. The potency of the various compounds was dependent upon the position of the phenyl ring within the alkyl side chain. The most suitable length between the quaternary carbon atom and the phenyl ring was two carbon atoms. 2-Substituted 2-aminoethanols were successively synthesized and evaluated for their T-cell-decreasing effect and immunosuppressive effect using a popliteal lymph node gain assay in rats. The absolute configuration at the quaternary carbon affected the activity, and the (pro-S)-hydroxymethyl group of compound 6 was essential for potent immunosuppressive activity. Favorable substituents for the (pro-R)-hydroxymethyl group of 6 were hydroxyalkyl (hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl) or lower alkyl (methyl and ethyl) groups. 2-Amino-2-[2-(4-octylphenyl)ethyl]propane-1,3-diol hydrochloride (6, FTY720) was found to possess considerable activity and is expected to be useful as an immunosuppressive drug for organ transplantation.
Chronic daily headache (2003)

In the current issue of Neurology , Zwart et al.1 present data on the role of medication overuse in the subsequent development of chronic daily headache (CDH) and other pain disorders. CDH is defined as a primary headache disorder with attacks 15 or more days per month (or 180 or more days per year) with an average duration of 4 or more hours per day.2 Up to 80% of the patients seen in headache centers have CDH.3 In population-based surveys, the prevalence of CDH is a staggering 4%.4 Chronic migraine (CM) is the most common subtype of CDH in specialty care3 and an important disorder from the perspectives of societal costs and individual suffering.2 Subjects with CM usually undergo a process of transformation over months or years, characterized by increasing headache frequency.2,3⇓

Candidate risk factors for the development of CM include female sex, high frequency of headaches before transformation, obesity, …
N-terminal Truncation of Microtubule Associated Protein Tau Dysregulates its Cellular Localization (2014)

Tau protein is a member of microtubule-associated protein family. Under pathological conditions, tau undergoes multiple modifications that lead to the formation of insoluble deposits in neurons, resulting in neuronal dysfunction in several neurodegenerative disorders collectively called tauopathies, with Alzheimer's disease being the most frequent example. This typical cytosolic protein has been shown to translocate into the nucleus and participate in DNA protection upon stress conditions. In our study, we demonstrate that truncated Tau151-391/4R changes its usual behavior and gains constitutive access into the nucleus of both primary rat neurons and human neuroblastoma cells. Our results show that partial/dysregulated nuclear localization of tau results from the removal of the N-terminal (1-150) residues of the protein. Data obtained by cell fractionation data were supported by confocal microscopy analysis of GFP-fused tau proteins. Furthermore, neither addition of the fusion protein, nor increased tau phosphorylation had any effect on the intracellular distribution of truncated tau. Our data further suggest that differential tau phospho-status between cytosolic and nuclear fractions is rather a consequence than a cause of truncated tau nuclear localization. Finally, truncated tau in the nucleus is engaged in interactions with subnuclear structure(s), since it exhibits reduced mobility. We conclude that N-terminal truncation of tau proteins leads to their nonphysiological subcellular distribution as a result of modified tau conformation.
Synthesis and Characterization of the Lithium-Rich Core–Shell Cathodes with Low Irreversible Capacity and Mitigated Voltage Fade (2015)

Lithium-rich layered Ni–Mn–Co oxide materials have been intensely studied in the past decade. Mn-rich materials have serious voltage fade issues, and the Ni-rich materials have poor thermal stability and readily oxidize the organic carbonate electrolyte. Core–shell (CS) strategies that use Ni-rich material as the core and Mn-rich materials as the shell can balance the pros and cons of these materials in a hybrid system. The lithium-rich CS materials introduced here show much improved overall electrochemical performance compared to the core-only and shell-only samples. Energy dispersive spectroscopy results show that there was diffusion of transition metals between the core and shell phases after sintering at 900 °C compared to the prepared hydroxide precursors. A Mn-rich shell was still maintained whereas the Co which was only in the shell in the precursor was approximately homogeneous throughout the particles. The CS samples with optimal lithium content showed low irreversible capacity (IRC), as well as high capacity and excellent capacity retention. Sample CS2-3 (the third sample in the 0.67Li1+x(Ni0.67Mn0.33)1–xO2·0.33Li1+y(Ni0.4Mn0.5Co0.1)1–yO2 CS2 series) had a reversible capacity of ∼218 mAh/g with 12.3% (∼30 mAh/g) irreversible capacity (IRC) and 98% capacity retention after 40 cycles to 4.6 V at 30 °C at a rate of ∼C/20. Differential capacity versus potential (dQ/dV versus V) analysis confirmed that cells of the CS samples had stable impedance as well as a very stable average voltage. Apparently, the Mn-rich shell can effectively protect the Ni-rich core from reactions with the electrolyte while the Ni-rich core renders a high and stable average voltage.
A 3.5 genome equivalent multi access YAC library: construction, characterisation, screening and storage (1990)

The construction of a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) primary gridded library of 35,000 clones from human lymphoblastoid (48,XXXX) cell line DNA is described. The average YAC size is approximately 350kb representing a greater than 3.5 times coverage of the genome. The library is stored at -70 degrees C as gridded clones on nylon filters impregnated with 20% glycerol and as glycerol suspensions of individual clones in microtitre plates providing a prolonged multi-user potential. To date we have used 14 single copy probes to screen this library by colony hybridisation as well as PCR and have isolated between 1 and 5 YAC clones for every probe.
Curcumin suppresses constitutive activation of STAT‐3 by up‐regulating protein inhibitor of activated STAT‐3 (PIAS‐3) in ovarian and endometrial cancer cells (2010)

Signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT-3) is constitutively activated in ovarian and endometrial cancers and is implicated in uncontrolled cell growth. Thus, its disruption could be an effective approach to control tumorigenesis. Curcumin is a dihydroxyphenolic compound, with proven anti-cancer efficacy in various cancer models. We examined the anti-tumor mechanism of curcumin on STAT-3 and on the negative regulators of STAT-3, including suppressors of cytokine signaling proteins (SOCS-1 and SOCS-3), protein inhibitors of activated STAT (PIAS-1 and PIAS-3), and SH2 domain-containing phosphatases (SHP-1 and SHP-2) in ovarian and endometrial cancer cell lines. Treatment of cancer cells with curcumin induced a dose- and time-dependent decrease of constitutive IL-6 expression and of constitutive and IL-6-induced STAT-3 phosphorylation, which is associated with decreased cell viability and increased cleavage of caspase-3. The inhibition of STAT-3 activation by curcumin was reversible, and phosphorylated STAT-3 levels returned to control levels 24 h after curcumin removal. Compared to normal cells baseline expression of SOCS-3 was high in cancer cells and a marked decrease in SOCS-3 expression was seen following curcumin treatment. Overexpression of SOCS-3 in curcumin-treated cells increased expression of phosphorylated STAT-3 and resulted in increased cell viability. Normal ovarian and endometrial cells exhibited high expression of PIAS-3 protein, whereas in cancer cells the expression was greatly reduced. Curcumin increased PIAS-3 expression in cancer cells. Of significance, siRNA-mediated knockdown of PIAS-3 overcomes the inhibitory effect of curcumin on STAT-3 phosphorylation and cell viability. In conclusion, curcumin suppresses JAK-STAT signaling via activation of PIAS-3, thus attenuating STAT-3 phosphorylation and tumor cell growth.
Disturbance free operation of a multiphase current regulated motor drive with an opened phase (2002)

An improved induction motor control strategy is proposed incorporating a multiphase machine which allows for continuous, disturbance free operation of the drive even with complete loss of one (or more) legs of the inverter or motor phase. A complete analysis of both even phase and odd phase machines utilizing this control and circuit concept is presented. By using a five-phase or a seven-phase machine, it is possible to take advantage of the additional degrees of freedom as a result of more phases. It is shown that when one phase is open circuited, with appropriate control, the zero sequence current is no longer a necessary component as in a three-phase machine. That is, one can eliminate the need for a neutral line and the machine can still be controlled so as to produce a smooth nonpulsating torque. It has also been determined that the ratings of motor and inverter will both benefit by the use of extra phases.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Hepatoprotective activity of andrographolide against galactosamine & paracetamol intoxication in rats. (1990)

Hepatoprotective effect of andrographolide (the major active diterpenoid lactone of the plant Andrographis paniculata) was studied on acute hepatitis induced in rats by single dose of galactosamine (800 mg/kg, ip)/paracetamol (3g/kg, po). Hepatoprotective activity was monitored by estimating the serum transaminases (GOT and GPT), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin in serum, hepatic triglycerides, and by histopathological changes in the livers of experimental rats. Pre-treatment and/or post-treatment of rats at different time intervals with different doses of andrographolide in the two experimental models of hepatotoxicity showed that treatment of rats with 400 mg/kg, ip or 800 mg/kg, po, 48, 24 and 2 h before galactosamine administration or with 200 mg/kg, ip, 1, 4 and 7 h after paracetamol challenge leads to complete normalisation of toxin-induced increase in the levels of all the five biochemical parameters, and significantly ameliorates toxin-induced histopathological changes in the livers of experimental rats. The results confirmed the in vivo hepatoprotective effect of andrographolide against galactosamine or paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Since the protective effect of andrographolide was observed in two types of intoxication, which are very different in their primary mechanism of inducing hepatotoxicity, it is suggested that protective mechanisms of andrographolide which are not specific to galactosamine or paracetamol toxicity may be responsible for the hepatoprotective activity of the compound.
Studies on Ketene and Its Derivatives. LV. Reaction of Primary Amine with Ketene Acetals (1973)

The reaction of ketene acetals (IIa-d) with primary amine (Ia-j) gave imino ether derivatives (III) in a good yield. Benzylamine (Ia) reacted with ketene acetals (IIa-c) to give amidine derivatives (IV), besides the formation of III. Reaction of p-nitroaniline (Ic) with IIa gave ethyl N-(p-nitrophenyl)acetimidate (IIIca) and ethyl N-(p-nitrophenyl)-3-ethoxycrotonimidate (VI). 4-Aminopyridine l-oxide (Ij) reacted with IIa to give ethyl N-(4-pyridyl 1-oxide)acetimidate (IIIja) and ethyl N-(4-pyridyl)acetimidate(IIIga). On treatment with dilute acid, III were hydrolyzed into amines, amidines, esters, and amides.
High-throughput injection with microfluidics using picoinjectors (2010)

Adding reagents to drops is one of the most important functions in droplet-based microfluidic systems; however, a robust technique to accomplish this does not exist. Here, we introduce the picoinjector, a robust device to add controlled volumes of reagent using electro-microfluidics at kilohertz rates. It can also perform multiple injections for serial and combinatorial additions.
