Structural evolution of an intermetallic Pd–Zn catalyst selective for propane dehydrogenation (2015)

We report the structural evolution of Pd-Zn alloys in a 3.6% Pd-12% Zn/Al2O3 catalyst which is selective for propane dehydrogenation. High signal-to-noise, in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used quantitatively, in addition to in situ diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) to follow the structural changes in the catalyst as a function of reduction temperature. XRD in conjunction with DRIFTS of adsorbed CO indicated that the β1-PdZn intermetallic alloy structure formed at reduction temperatures as low as 230 °C, likely first at the surface, but did not form extensively throughout the bulk until 500 °C which was supported by in situ EXAFS. DRIFTS results suggested there was little change in the surfaces of the nanoparticles above 325 °C. The intermetallic alloy which formed was Pd-rich at all temperatures but became less Pd-rich with increasing reduction temperature as more Zn incorporated into the structure. In addition to the β1-PdZn alloy, a solid solution phase with face-center cubic structure (α-PdZn) was present in the catalyst, also becoming more Zn-rich with increasing reduction temperature.
Immunochemical analysis of the determinant recognized by a monoclonal antibody (MBr1) which specifically binds to human mammary epithelial cells. (1983)

A monoclonal antibody (MBr1) raised against a membrane preparation (CM) of a human breast cancer line (MCF-7) and characterized as mammary gland epithelium associated (S. Mènard, E. Tagliabue, S. Canevari, G. Fossati, and M. I. Colnaghi. Generation of monoclonal antibodies reacting with normal and cancer cells of human breast. Cancer Res., 43:1295-1300, 1983), was used to biochemically define and partially purify its target antigen. The antigenic activity recognized by MBr1 was unaffected by treatment of MCF-7 cells with trypsin, protease K, or Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase and by heating at 100 degrees but was abolished by treatment with methanol. Since this behavior suggested a glycolipid nature of the MBr1-defined antigen, total lipids were obtained by chloroform:methanol or tetrahydrofuran:phosphate buffer extractions from crude membrane preparations of MCF-7 cells and of breast cancer surgical specimens. Total absorption of MBr1 activity was found by breast cancer lipid extracts, whereas no absorbing capability was detected with a series of highly purified acid and neutral glycolipids or with normal and neuraminidase-treated red blood cells of human, ox, and sheep species. The same pattern of inhibition of MBr1-binding activity was obtained with total lipid extract and both phases after diethyl ether partition. However, when the three extracts were chromatographed on diethylaminoethyl-Sepharose, the antigenic activity was recovered only in the neutral glycolipid fractions. Periodate oxidation of MCF-7 crude membrane preparation abolished MBr1-binding activity, suggesting that the carbohydrate portion of the molecule may constitute the antigenic determinant.
Antinatriuretic Effect of Vasopressin in Humans Is Amiloride Sensitive, Thus ENaC Dependent (2011)

The antinatriuretic effect of dDAVP in humans is amiloride sensitive, and thus is related to the stimulatory effect on ENaC-mediated sodium reabsorption. This test provides a new tool to investigate ENaC function in a clinical setting.
Differential Hormone-Dependent Phosphorylation of Progesterone Receptor A and B Forms Revealed by a Phosphoserine Site-Specific Monoclonal Antibody (2000)

Human progesterone receptor (PR) is phosphorylated on multiple serine residues (at least seven sites) in a manner that involves distinct groups of sites coordinately regulated by hormone and different kinases. Progress on defining a functional role for PR phosphorylation has been hampered both by the complexity of phosphorylation and the lack of simple, nonradioactive methods to detect the influence of ligands and other signaling pathways on specific PR phosphorylation sites in vivo. Toward this end, we have produced monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that recognize specific phosphorylation sites within human PR including a basal site at Ser 190 (MAb P190) and a hormone-induced site at Ser 294 (MAb P294). Biochemical experiments showed the differential reactivity of the P190 and P294 MAbs for phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of PR. Both MAbs recognize specific phosphorylated forms of PR under different experimental conditions including denatured PR protein by Western blots and PR in its native conformation in solution or complexed to specific target DNA. As detected by Western blot of T47D cells treated with hormone for different times, hormone-dependent down-regulation of total PR and the Ser 190 phosphorylation site occurred in parallel, whereas the Ser 294 phosphorylation site was down-regulated more rapidly. This difference in kinetics suggests that the Ser 294 site is more labile than basal sites and is acted upon by distinct phosphatases. A strong preferential hormone-dependent phosphorylation of Ser 294 was observed on PR-B as compared with the amino-terminal truncated A form of PR. This was unexpected because Ser 294 and flanking sequences are identical on both proteins, suggesting that a distinct conformation of the N-terminal domain of PR-A inhibits phosphorylation of this site. That Ser 294 lies within an inhibitory domain that mediates the unique repressive functions of PR-A raises the possibility that differential phosphorylation of Ser 294 is involved in the distinct functional properties of PR-A and PR-B.

Anti-miR delivery strategies to bypass the blood-brain barrier in glioblastoma therapy (2016)

Small non-coding RNAs called miRNAs are key regulators in various biological processes, including tumor initiation, propagation, and metastasis in glioblastoma as well as other cancers. Recent studies have shown the potential for oncogenic miRNAs as therapeutic targets in glioblastoma. However, the application of antisense oligomers, or anti-miRs, to the brain is limited due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), when administered in the traditional systemic manner. To induce a therapeutic effect in glioblastoma, anti-miR therapy requires a robust and effective delivery system to overcome this obstacle. To bypass the BBB, different delivery administration methods for anti-miRs were evaluated. Stereotaxic surgery was performed to administer anti-Let-7 through intratumoral (ITu), intrathecal (ITh), and intraventricular (ICV) routes, and each method's efficacy was determined by changes in the expression of anti-Let-7 target genes as well as by immunohistochemical analysis. ITu administration of anti-miRs led to a high rate of anti-miR delivery to tumors in the brain by both bolus and continuous administration. In addition, ICV administration, compared with ITu administration, showed a greater distribution of the miR across entire brain tissues. This study suggests that local administration methods are a promising strategy for anti-miR treatment and may overcome current limitations in the treatment of glioblastoma in preclinical animal models.
The Prevalence and Impact of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Recurrent Miscarriage: A Retrospective Cohort Study and Meta-Analysis (2020)

<i>Background</i>: The use of different definitions and diagnostic approaches of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and recurrent miscarriage (RM) has led to a wide range of prevalence rates in the literature. Despite the persistent controversy about the factual prevalence of PCOS in RM, a vast number of studies have revealed evidence about their association with each other. The goals of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of polycystic ovarian morphology and PCOS within the RM population, performing meta-analyses with the obtained data from this study, together with previous reports on this topic and evaluating reproductive outcome in women with RM and PCOS. <i>Methods</i>: A retrospective cohort study with 452 women with RM and a meta-analysis were conducted. The main outcome parameter was the prevalence of PCOS in RM patients. <i>Results</i>: In the retrospective study, the prevalence of PCOS in RM was 9.5%. Negative results for the selected risk factors for RM were present in 283 patients (62.6%). From all evaluated possible underlying causes for RM, only the presence of thrombophilic disorders was significantly associated with PCOS (PCOS: 20.9% versus no PCOS: 7.8%, <i>p =</i> 0.010). In the meta-analysis of three studies on PCOS in RM patients, which used the revised Rotterdam criteria for defining PCOS, an estimated pooled prevalence of 14.3% (95% CI: 6.2-24.9) was found. In the retrospective data set, women in the PCOS group revealed significantly higher luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, and Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels than age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls with RM negative for the selected risk facotrs (<i>p <</i> 0.05). The rate of further miscarriages was significantly higher in PCOS women than in controls (71.4% versus 53.6%, respectively; <i>p =</i> 0.031). <i>Conclusions</i>: The prevalence of PCOS seems slightly increased in women with RM. Women with PCOS suffering from RM showed a significantly higher risk for further miscarriage and decreased chances of having a life birth of about 18% which did not reach statistical significance. Therefore, we assume that PCOS plays a moderate role in RM.
Phase-stabilized optical frequency domain imaging at 1-µm for the measurement of blood flow in the human choroid (2011)

In optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) the measurement of interference fringes is not exactly reproducible due to small instabilities in the swept-source laser, the interferometer and the data-acquisition hardware. The resulting variation in wavenumber sampling makes phase-resolved detection and the removal of fixed-pattern noise challenging in OFDI. In this paper this problem is solved by a new post-processing method in which interference fringes are resampled to the exact same wavenumber space using a simultaneously recorded calibration signal. This method is implemented in a high-speed (100 kHz) high-resolution (6.5 µm) OFDI system at 1-µm and is used for the removal of fixed-pattern noise artifacts and for phase-resolved blood flow measurements in the human choroid. The system performed close to the shot-noise limit (<1dB) with a sensitivity of 99.1 dB for a 1.7 mW sample arm power. Suppression of fixed-pattern noise artifacts is shown up to 39.0 dB which effectively removes all artifacts from the OFDI-images. The clinical potential of the system is shown by the detection of choroidal blood flow in a healthy volunteer and the detection of tissue reperfusion in a patient after a retinal pigment epithelium and choroid transplantation.
Genome Sequence of Chinese Porcine Parvovirus Strain PPV2010 (2012)

Porcine parvovirus (PPV) isolate PPV2010 has recently emerged in China. Herein, we analyze the complete genome sequence of PPV2010. Our results indicate that the genome of PPV2010 bears mixed characteristics of virulent PPV and vaccine strains. Importantly, PPV2010 has the potential to be a naturally attenuated candidate vaccine strain.
Cold Inertance Tube for 4 K Stirling Type Pulse Tube Cryocoolers (2015)

The losses in the regenerator are minimized when the amplitude of the mass flow is minimized for a given acoustic power which requires that the mass flow lags the pressure by about 30° at the cold end of regenerator. The phase shift provided by an inertance tube is strongly influenced by the temperature of the inertance tube and the acoustic power at the cold end of the regenerator. For a 4 K Stirling type pulse tube cryocooler, the acoustic power at the cold end of the regenerator decreases significantly with the temperature thereby it's difficult to achieve ideal phase relationship with ambient inertance tube. While cold inertance tube provide a larger phase shift in that the viscosity of the working fluid decreases and the density increases as the temperature decreases. However, use of cold inertance tube increases additional heat load to the regenerator. Therefore it's of great significance to determine when a cold inertance tube should be used. In this paper effect of temperature of inertance tube is calculated for a 4 K Stirling type pulse tube cryocooler with different acoustic powers at the cold end. A comparison of ambient temperature inertance tube and cold inertance tube is made.
Approche de la rugosité surfacique par analyse d'image (1997)

In characterization of material surfaces, classical stylus techniques have been replaced for about ten years by new instruments which main specificity is the three-dimensional acquisition of the topography of the sample. Hence, the standardized statistical criteria in measurement of surface roughness on profiles are not fitted any more to three-dimensional nature of the acquired information. We propose in this paper new evaluation methods of surface roughness adapted to topographical images. The main advantages of these methods are the likeness between their definition and the conventional parameters definition, the facility to create and apply them in image processing, and their capability to qualify and quantify the roughness homogeneity of the surfaces.

3D Printing of Cytocompatible Water-Based Light-Cured Polyurethane with Hyaluronic Acid for Cartilage Tissue Engineering Applications (2017)

Diseases in articular cartilages have affected millions of people globally. Although the biochemical and cellular composition of articular cartilages is relatively simple, there is a limitation in the self-repair ability of the cartilage. Therefore, developing strategies for cartilage repair is very important. Here, we report on a new liquid resin preparation process of water-based polyurethane based photosensitive materials with hyaluronic acid with application of the materials for 3D printed customized cartilage scaffolds. The scaffold has high cytocompatibility and is one that closely mimics the mechanical properties of articular cartilages. It is suitable for culturing human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (hWJMSCs) and the cells in this case showed an excellent chondrogenic differentiation capacity. We consider that the 3D printing hybrid scaffolds may have potential in customized tissue engineering and also facilitate the development of cartilage tissue engineering.

Identification of a Post-translational Modification with Ribitol-Phosphate and Its Defect in Muscular Dystrophy (2016)

Glycosylation is an essential post-translational modification that underlies many biological processes and diseases. α-dystroglycan (α-DG) is a receptor for matrix and synaptic proteins that causes muscular dystrophy and lissencephaly upon its abnormal glycosylation (α-dystroglycanopathies). Here we identify the glycan unit ribitol 5-phosphate (Rbo5P), a phosphoric ester of pentose alcohol, in α-DG. Rbo5P forms a tandem repeat and functions as a scaffold for the formation of the ligand-binding moiety. We show that enzyme activities of three major α-dystroglycanopathy-causing proteins are involved in the synthesis of tandem Rbo5P. Isoprenoid synthase domain-containing (ISPD) is cytidine diphosphate ribitol (CDP-Rbo) synthase. Fukutin and fukutin-related protein are sequentially acting Rbo5P transferases that use CDP-Rbo. Consequently, Rbo5P glycosylation is defective in α-dystroglycanopathy models. Supplementation of CDP-Rbo to ISPD-deficient cells restored α-DG glycosylation. These findings establish the molecular basis of mammalian Rbo5P glycosylation and provide insight into pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies in α-DG-associated diseases.
Predicting Olfactory Loss In Chronic Rhinosinusitis Using Machine Learning (2020)

ABSTRACT Objective Compare machine learning (ML) based predictive analytics methods to traditional logistic regression in classification of olfactory dysfunction in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS-OD), and identify predictors within a large multi-institutional cohort of refractory CRS patients. Methods Adult CRS patients enrolled in a prospective, multi-institutional, observational cohort study were assessed for baseline CRS-OD using a smell identification test (SIT) or brief SIT (bSIT). Four different ML methods were compared to traditional logistic regression for classification of CRS normosmics versus CRS-OD. Results Data were collected for 611 study participants who met inclusion criteria between April 2011 and July 2015. 34% of enrolled patients demonstrated olfactory loss on psychophysical testing. Differences between CRS normosmics and those with smell loss included objective disease measures (CT and endoscopy scores), age, sex, prior surgeries, socioeconomic status, steroid use, polyp presence, asthma, and aspirin sensitivity. Most ML methods performed favorably in terms of predictive ability. Top predictors include factors previously reported in the literature, as well as several socioeconomic factors. Conclusion Olfactory dysfunction is a variable phenomenon in CRS patients. ML methods perform well compared to traditional logistic regression in classification of normosmia versus smell loss in CRS, and are able to include numerous risk factors into prediction models. Several actionable features were identified as risk factors for CRS-OD. These results suggest that ML methods may be useful for current understanding and future study of hyposmia secondary to sinonasal disease, the most common cause of persistent olfactory loss in the general population.
Chasing a Phantom by Total Synthesis: The Butylcycloheptylprodigiosin Case (2005)

The dispute as to whether “butylcycloheptylprodigiosin” is a natural product or solely a misassigned structure lasted for more than a decade. This open question has now been answered by the first total synthesis of this tripyrrole alkaloid (see picture), which makes explicit use of the peculiarities of its highly strained ortho-anellated nine-membered ring.
Expedient Synthesis of 1-Hydroxy-4- and 1-Hydroxy-6-nitroindoles (2012)

Reaction of α-chloroalkyl ketones with 1,3-dinitrobenzenes provides 2,4-dinitrobenzyl ketones which when reduced with tin(II) chloride form 6-nitro derivatives of 1-hydroxyindoles. An alternative approach is the condensation of 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluenes with diethyl oxalate or ethyl trifluoroacetate provides dinitrobenzyl ketones which leads after reduction with tin(II) chloride to nitro derivatives of 1-hydroxyindol-2-carboxylates or 1-hydroxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)indoles, respectively.
The Corset Effect, Field-Cycling NMR Relaxometry, Transverse NMR Relaxation, Field-Gradient NMR Diffusometry, and Incoherent Neutron Scattering (2010)

The corset effect is an experimentally established dynamic confinement phenomenon first observed by field-cycling NMR relaxometry and transverse NMR relaxation in polymer melts in pores with dimensions ranging from a few nanometers up to 0.06 micrometers or even more. The techniques employed are specifically sensitive to rotational fluctuations of polymer segments. It will be shown that neutron scattering and other methods probing translational fluctuations are not suitable for the detection of this phenomenon.

Monitoring diclofenac sodium in single human erythrocytes introduced by electroporation using capillary zone electrophoresis with electrochemical detection (2001)

A method for determination of the drug diclofenac sodium introduced into individual human erythrocytes by electroporation using capillary zone electrophoresis with electrochemical detection at a carbon fiber array microelectrode was developed. In this method, the whole cell was injected into the separation capillary by electromigration. Cell lysis was accomplished by injecting a plug of the separation buffer (1.25 x 10(-2) mol/L Na2B4O7-3.13 x 10(-3) mol/L NaOH). The optimum conditions of separation and detection were 20 kV for the separation voltage and 1.0 V for the detection potential. The concentration of diclofenac sodium in the single cells was quantified by a calibration curve. The mean concentration of diclofenac sodium introduced into the cell was 4.21 micromol/L. The relative standard deviation of the concentration of diclofenac sodium introduced into ten cells is 10%.
