dl-VSVG-LacZ, a Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Glycoprotein Epitope-Incorporated Adenovirus, Exhibits Marked Enhancement in Gene Transduction Efficiency (2003)

Recombinant adenovirus (Ad) has emerged as the vector system of choice in cancer gene therapy. Its full utility, however, has been limited because of the low efficiency of adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to cancer cells - the main reason being that cancer cells in general express inherently low levels of the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) on their surface. Development of novel strategies to achieve adenovirus infection in a CAR-independent manner may help to overcome this limitation. To this end, we have generated a novel recombinant Ad, dl-VSVG-LacZ, that contains a fiber knob with intact CAR entry capability and an additional phosphatidylserine (PS) entry capability. This was achieved by incorporating the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) epitope onto the C terminus of the fiber knob. VSV-G is an envelope protein that facilitates the specificity for binding of the virus to PS moieties on the cellular plasma membrane. The newly tropism-expanded adenovirus, dl-VSVG-LacZ, showed a remarkable improvement (3- to 20-fold) in the delivery of LacZ to a variety of mammalian cells including those that were CAR deficient. The greatest improvement in gene transfer was observed in cells that were difficult to transduce with an untargeted Ad (wildtype fiber). Furthermore, treatment with dl-VSVG-LacZ significantly enhanced gene transfer in vivo when compared with control adenovirus that lacked the VSV-G epitope. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that the strategy to extend adenovirus tropism may greatly improve the utility of adenovirus in gene therapy applications.
Conceptions of first‐year university students of the constituents of matter and the notions of acids and bases (1986)

Preconceptions of first‐year university students of the constituents of matter and the notions of acids and bases were investigated on a total of 400 students. The procedure used consisted of free interviews, semi‐structured interviews and questionnaires. It was found that the constituents of matter were well known to students, but that interactions between these constituents were either totally unknown or were the subject of severe misconceptions. The students’ knowledge tended to be qualitative and formal, with a worrying lack of connection with everyday life.
Augmenting antidepressants with deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (DTMS) in treatment-resistant major depression (2014)

Our study suggests that DTMS, when used as an augmenting strategy for antidepressants in severe TRD, is efficacious, safe and relatively well tolerated. However, controlled studies with larger samples are needed to confirm and expand our preliminary findings.

Effect of the mi allele on mast cells, basophils, natural killer cells, and osteoclasts in C57BI/6J mice (1987)

The osteopetrotic, microphthalmic (mi/mi) mouse lacks functional osteoclasts and has also been reported to be deficient in mast cells and natural-killer (NK) cells. The later deficiencies could be secondary to the osteopetrotic marrow, or a direct result of the mi allele. Therefore, heterozygotes were examined for these cell types, since these mice do not exhibit osteopetrosis. Adult +/mi animals have approximately 50%, and mi/mi animals examined by histologic techniques or tissue histamine levels have 0-10%, of the peritoneal, dermal, and intestinal mast cells compared with that of +/+ animals. Leukocyte histamine, indicative of the number of basophils, demonstrates the same pattern. Histamine content per mast cell in +/+ and +/mi animals is identical. The number of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) in splenic leukocyte preparations from +/mi animals is 50% that of +/+ animals, and these cells are undetectable in preparations from mi/mi mice. NK activity against YAC-1 cells paralleled the number of LGL present. The resorptive response of neonatal calvaria to parathyroid hormone was delayed in the case of cultured +/mi bone compared with that of +/+ bone, but the final rate of calcium release was identical. These data indicate that 1) the presence of one mi allele can affect the development of four distinct cell types, and 2) osteopetrosis alone does not account for the lack of mast cells, basophils, and NK cells in mi/mi mice.
Thermal impedance modeling of GaAs multi-finger HBTs from low frequency s-parameter measurements (2011)

Self heating in GaAs based heterojunction bipolar transistors affect the microwave performance and needs to be taken into account in circuit design. It can be modeled by the addition of a thermal impedance to a compact nonlinear transistor model. We developed thermal impedance parameters that can be scaled for multi-finger devices, using the measured low frequency s-parameters of 1, 2, 4, and 6-finger transistors. The model gave very good fit to the measurements at all bias points.
Hepaticoduodenostomy in Hepatectomy for Perihilarcholangiocarcinoma: A Preliminary Report (2014)

A Roux-en-Y anastomosis fashioned from the jejunum (i.e., hepaticojejunostomy) is usually used to reconstruct the biliary system in hepatectomy. In this study, we review our experience with hepaticoduodenostomy (HD) as an alternative to Roux-en-Y biliary anastomosis in patients undergoing hepatectomy for perihilarcholangiocarcinoma, report our preliminary findings in 2 patients, and speculate on future applications. Laparotomy was performed using a Kent retractor. Wide kocherization of the duodenum was done to provide a tension-free anastomosis to the hepatic duct. The Kent retractor was released transiently, and the anastomosis was confirmed to be free of tension. Hepatectomy and excision of the common bile duct were performed. In patients with short distances between the hepatic ducts, a hepaticoplasty was performed. A 10-Fr silicon drain with channels along the sides, approximately 20 mm in length, was used as an internal stent. HD was performed with a single-layer anastomosis with continuous sutures. No complication occurred after HD. Our initial experience suggests that HD may be a viable alternative to Roux-en-Y biliary anastomosis in patients undergoing hepatectomy for perihilarcholangiocarcinoma.
The development of permanent isolation surface barriers: Hanford Site, Richland, Washington, U.S.A. (1993)

Flow electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) is a highly promising desalination technique known for its exceptional electrosorption capacity, making it suitable for efficient salt separation in high salinity water. However, the unsatisfactory charge transfer process between the flow electrode and current collector severely curtails the salt separation and enrichment performance of the FCDI device. To address this issue, three-dimensional titanium mesh (3D-TM) was proposed as a novel current collector for FCDI device, which significantly amplifies the charge transfer area and exhibits excellent salt separation performance. The 3D-TM current collector promotes the electron transfer, charge percolation, and ion migration processes through the electroconvection generated by the turbulence effect on the flow electrode. In the specific case of the 20-mesh 3D-TM, which is composed of 12 stacking layers of titanium mesh, the remarkable average salt removal rate and charge efficiency were achieved 5.06 μmol cm<sup>-2</sup> min<sup>-1</sup> and 92.9 % under an appropriate applied voltage of 2.0 V, respectively. Dramatically, the desalination performance maintained above 76.4 % over 100 desalination cycles at 2.0 V, demonstrating the exceptional cyclic stability of the 3D-TM FCDI cell. In the seawater desalination, the 3D-TM FCDI cell exhibited an impressive salt removal efficiency of 97.5 % (from 34.2 g L<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup> to 0.84 g L<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup>) for 1 L East China seawater at 2.0 V for 24 h. For lithium-ion enrichment, the FCDI continuous desalting system achieved an astonishing concentration of 17.3 g L<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup> for Li<sup>+</sup> ions enrichment from an initial concentration of 1.30 g L<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup>, obtaining the average salt treating rate of 23.6 g m<sup>-</sup><sup>2</sup>h<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup> and charge efficiency of 80.0 %. Moreover, the lithium-sodium ions and lithium-magnesium ions enrichments were both conducted, yielding an enriched concentration of 10.4 g L<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup> and 7.30 g L<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup> for Li<sup>+</sup> ions, respectively. These findings highlight the enormous potential of FCDI technology in industrial engineering applications, further establishing it as a highly viable solution.
Intradermal injection of a Tat Oyi-based therapeutic HIV vaccine reduces of 1.5 log copies/mL the HIV RNA rebound median and no HIV DNA rebound following cART interruption in a phase I/II randomized controlled clinical trial (2016)

This study suggests in vivo that extracellular Tat activates and protects HIV infected cells. The Tat Oyi vaccine in association with cART may provide an efficient means of controlling the HIV-infected cell reservoir.
Them and Us: Hidden Ideologies‐Differences in Degree or Kind? (2002)

This article looks at three measuring instruments—the Right‐Wing Authoritarianism Scale, the Social Dominance Orientation Scale, and the Attitudes About Reality Scale—used to examine covert ideology and its relationship to social and political beliefs and behaviors. These scales share similar ideological components involving abdication of moral responsibility to an outside agent, belief that one's own ideology represents the only form of truth, and negative beliefs about individuals who are not members of one's own group. Evidence is provided to suggest that radical fundamentalists and some groups within U.S. society share ideological beliefs that differ in degree rather than kind. These beliefs make it easy for them to divide the world into “us” and “them” and exacerbate the present conflict.
S2–01–01: Systematic meta–analysis of Alzheimer's disease genetic association studies – the AlzGene database (2006)

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a genetically complex and heterogeneous disorder showing an age–dependent dichotomy. Several lines of evidence suggest that the common late–onset form of AD is caused by a variety of independent genetic (and non–genetic) risk factors. In the past decade, literally hundreds of reports have been published claiming or refuting genetic association with putative AD genes, and currently nearly 10 association studies are published each month. For the research community as well as the public this wealth of information has become increasingly difficult to follow, evaluate and—most importantly—to interpret. To better understand these findings, we have created a comprehensive and publicly available database (“AlzGene”; hosted by the Alzheimer Research Forum, available at www.alzgene.org) which systematically collects and summarizes all genetic association studies in the field of AD. In addition to displaying essential details for each study (e.g., sample sizes, onset age, genotype numbers), the database provides up–to–date summary effect size estimates and assessments of publication bias for each polymorphism across all studies. The results of these meta–analyses should help to better distinguish the relevant AD risk genes from false–positive reports as well as those with negligible effects. Currently, the AlzGene database includes nearly 1,000 individual studies of over 300 different candidate genes. At the meeting we will present a comprehensive summary of these meta–analyses with a particular focus on genes which significantly increase or decrease the risk for AD.
Dissociation of low density lipoprotein-antibody precipitates at alkaline pH (1967)

The effect of alkaline pH on the dissociation of immunoprecipitates of low density lipoproteins (LDL) of the S(f) 0-10 class was studied by immunological and ultracentrifugal methods. The precipitates prepared at the equivalence point were dissolved and centrifuged in sodium chloride solutions of density 1.063 and pH's between 10.25 and 11.5. Analytical centrifugation of the top fraction, which floated at density 1.063, after dialysis against 0.9% sodium chloride of pH 7.4 revealed the presence of LDL and of soluble LDL-antibody complex. The amount of soluble complex was greater for the preparations obtained at lower pH than those obtained at higher pH and was undetectable at pH 11.5. The yield of immunoglobulin from the bottom fractions was maximal when the pH of the centrifugation medium was 11.0. Below pH 11.0, the greatly reduced yield of immunoglobulin was due partly to incomplete dissociation and partly to aggregation of soluble complex, while above pH 11.0 the decreased yield was possibly due to alkaline denaturation of the globulin. The immunoglobulin separated at pH 11.0 and dialyzed to pH 7.4 was reprecipitatable by LDL, and the reactivity did not seem to be appreciably influenced by the alkaline treatment.
Effects of Disturbed Flow on Vascular Endothelium: Pathophysiological Basis and Clinical Perspectives (2011)

Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are exposed to hemodynamic forces, which modulate EC functions and vascular biology/pathobiology in health and disease. The flow patterns and hemodynamic forces are not uniform in the vascular system. In straight parts of the arterial tree, blood flow is generally laminar and wall shear stress is high and directed; in branches and curvatures, blood flow is disturbed with nonuniform and irregular distribution of low wall shear stress. Sustained laminar flow with high shear stress upregulates expressions of EC genes and proteins that are protective against atherosclerosis, whereas disturbed flow with associated reciprocating, low shear stress generally upregulates the EC genes and proteins that promote atherogenesis. These findings have led to the concept that the disturbed flow pattern in branch points and curvatures causes the preferential localization of atherosclerotic lesions. Disturbed flow also results in postsurgical neointimal hyperplasia and contributes to pathophysiology of clinical conditions such as in-stent restenosis, vein bypass graft failure, and transplant vasculopathy, as well as aortic valve calcification. In the venous system, disturbed flow resulting from reflux, outflow obstruction, and/or stasis leads to venous inflammation and thrombosis, and hence the development of chronic venous diseases. Understanding of the effects of disturbed flow on ECs can provide mechanistic insights into the role of complex flow patterns in pathogenesis of vascular diseases and can help to elucidate the phenotypic and functional differences between quiescent (nonatherogenic/nonthrombogenic) and activated (atherogenic/thrombogenic) ECs. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the role of disturbed flow in EC physiology and pathophysiology, as well as its clinical implications. Such information can contribute to our understanding of the etiology of lesion development in vascular niches with disturbed flow and help to generate new approaches for therapeutic interventions.
An adaptive deblocking algorithm for low bit-rate video (2008)

The paper presents an effective and fast postprocessing technique for blocking artifacts removal in low bit-rate video. The technique utilizes one-dimensional filtering based on the characteristics of the decoded video, without any knowledge about the coding parameters. In the first phase it performs detection of presence of the blocking artifacts, while in the second phase adaptive directional filtering is applied. The procedure includes estimation of spatial activity and prediction of the spatial distribution of the quantization errors. Experiments performed on MPEG-compressed low bit-rate video demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in suppressing blocking artifacts and the ability of the algorithm to preserve the image sharpness.
Effect of bacosides A and B on avoidance responses in rats (1988)

Abstract The nerve tonic activity of Bacopa monniera has been attributed to two saponins named Bacosides A and B. In the present investigation, Bacosides A and a mixture of the two saponins were used as aqueous suspensions. In the shock motivated brightness discrimination reaction a single oral dose of 10 mg/kg, 90 min prior to training, significantly reduced the time per trial, increased the number of positive responses and enhanced the relearning index. Similar effects were also observed in the relearning trial, but it was necessary to give a second dose 90 min prior to testing. In the active conditioned avoidance test 10 mg/kg p.o. given every alternate day significantly reduced the reaction time from the day 4 onward as well as the number of days of training. In the conditioned taste aversion response the bacosides produced a significant decrease in the lithium chloride intake. This effect was dose related in the range of 2.5–7.5 mg/kg p.o. Bacosides appear to be promising compounds having facilitatory effect on mental retention capacity by improving responses with positive as well as negative reinforcement.

Uniform lateral orientation, caused by flow forces, of flat particles in flow-through systems. (1977)

Recently, it was shown that the lateral orientation of sperm cells disturbs the deoxyribonucleic acid distribution measured by fluorescence in a laterally laser-illuminated flow system. The present results show how flat particles may be influenced to assume a uniform lateral orientation. This was achieved by choosing the geometrical dimensions of the hydrodynamic focusing flow path. High speed photographs of fixed chicken erythrocytes oriented in experimental chambers are presented.
The exosome complex establishes a barricade to erythroid maturation (2014)

Complex genetic networks control hematopoietic stem cell differentiation into progenitors that give rise to billions of erythrocytes daily. Previously, we described a role for the master regulator of erythropoiesis, GATA-1, in inducing genes encoding components of the autophagy machinery. In this context, the Forkhead transcription factor, Foxo3, amplified GATA-1-mediated transcriptional activation. To determine the scope of the GATA-1/Foxo3 cooperativity, and to develop functional insights, we analyzed the GATA-1/Foxo3-dependent transcriptome in erythroid cells. GATA-1/Foxo3 repressed expression of Exosc8, a pivotal component of the exosome complex, which mediates RNA surveillance and epigenetic regulation. Strikingly, downregulating Exosc8, or additional exosome complex components, in primary erythroid precursor cells induced erythroid cell maturation. Our results demonstrate a new mode of controlling erythropoiesis in which multiple components of the exosome complex are endogenous suppressors of the erythroid developmental program.

Effect of V2O5 on SrO-ZnO-B2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics for high temperature sealant application (2012)

Glasses in the SrO-ZnO-B2O3-SiO2 (SZBS) system with and without V2O5 were prepared by melt-quench method and transformed into glass-ceramics by controlled crystallization. Investigated glasses and glass-ceramics have thermal expansion coefficients (TEC) in the range of 95-120 × 10−7/°C (30-600 °C), which match closely with TEC of other components of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Study of thermo-physical properties of SZBS glasses revealed the network modifying effect of V2O5. Addition of V2O5 increases the TEC and decreases the viscosity of the glass which is beneficial for making seal with Crofer-22-APU. Microstructural investigations have shown good bonding of SZBS glasses with Crofer-22-APU. Elemental line scans indicate that inter-diffusion of Fe, Cr and Si across interface, which is thought to be responsible for good bonding with Crofer-22-APU.
Controlled Reduction of Vanadium Oxide Nanoscrolls: Crystal Structure, Morphology, and Electrical Properties (2008)

The systematic and controlled reduction of vanadium oxide nanoscrolls results in routes to the large-scale preparation of nanostructures of the interesting and useful materials rutile VO2 and corundum V2O3. Vanadium oxide (V2O5−δ) nanoscrolls, prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of aged suspensions of V2O5 and dodecylamine, were reduced in a furnace in an atmosphere of 5% H2:95% N2 under different time and temperature conditions to monitor systematic trends in the structure and morphology of the resulting oxides. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy, N2 sorption measurements, and electrical transport studies. We find that the reduction conditions (time and temperature) play a significant role in determining the crystal structure and morphology of the products. At short times and low temperatures, the reduction products are rutile VO2. These convert to corundum V2O3 when temperatures are increased. In all cases, the appearance of crystalline Bragg peaks in XRD is associated with the breaking up of the starting high-aspect nanostructures into small, dense crystallites. Under certain reduction conditions, porous materials with ill-defined X-ray structures are obtained as intermediates.
