Possibilities to monitoring/control of the horse-chestnut leafminer (Cameraria ohridella) with some acetal derivatives of (8e,10z)-tetradeca-8,10-dienal (2008)

This paper shows possibility of utilization ether derivatives of (8E,10Z)-tetradeca-8,10-dienal (2-((7E,9Z)-trideca-7,9-dienyl)-1,3-dioxan (2) and 2-((7E,9Z)-trideca-7,9-dienyl)-4-hydroxy-6-heptyl-�-hexyl-1,3-dioxan (3)) as potential lures for monitoring of horse-chestnut leafminer population. The both propheromones were synthesized at the Institute of Industrial Organic Chemistry (IPO) and then tested in 2006/07 on field trials at several different sites on terrain of Mazovian province. Within the scope of these investigations, acetal 2 was checked at different doses (10, 100, 500 μg) by the pheromone trapping technique, and aldoxane 3 was used both in pheromone trapping (at the dose 50 μg) and mating disruption technique. The good attractiveness properties were obtained for both tested compounds. However, the dose of 2-((7E,9Z)-trideca-7,9-dienyl)-1,3-dioxan had to be a 10 times higher than dose of aldoxane for the same good activity.
The COP1–SPA1 interaction defines a critical step in phytochrome A-mediated regulation of HY5 activity (2003)

Arabidopsis COP1 is a constitutive repressor of photomorphogenesis that interacts with photomorphogenesis-promoting factors such as HY5 to promote their proteasome-mediated degradation. SPA1 is a repressor of phytochrome A-mediated responses to far-red light. Here we report that COP1 acts as part of a large protein complex and interacts with SPA1 in a light-dependent manner. We further demonstrate the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of COP1 on HY5 in vitro and the alteration of that activity by SPA1. Thus, the COP1-SPA1 interaction defines a critical step in coordinating COP1-mediated ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of HY5 with PHYA signaling.
Genetic control of broad-spectrum resistance to turnip mosaic virus in Brassica rapa (Chinese cabbage) (2007)

The Brassica rapa line RLR22 was resistant to eight diverse turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) isolates. A B. rapa genetic map based on 213 marker loci segregating in 120 first back-cross (B(1)) individuals was established and aligned with the B. rapa genome reference map using some of the RFLP probes. B(1) individuals were self-pollinated to produce B(1)S(1) families. The existence of two loci controlling resistance to TuMV isolate CDN 1 was established from contrasting patterns of segregation for resistance and susceptibility in the B(1)S(1) families. The first gene, recessive TuMV resistance 01 (retr01), had a recessive allele for resistance, was located on the upper portion of chromosome R4 and was epistatic to the second gene. The second gene, Conditional TuMV resistance 01 (ConTR01), possessed a dominant allele for resistance and was located on the upper portion of chromosome R8. These genes also controlled resistance to TuMV isolate CZE 1 and might be sufficient to explain the broad-spectrum resistance of RLR22. The dominant resistance gene, ConTR01, was coincident with one of the three eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) loci of B. rapa and possibly one of the loci of eIF(iso)4E. The recessive resistance gene retr01 was apparently coincident with one of the three loci of eIF(iso)4E in the A genome of Brassica napus and therefore, by inference, in the B. rapa genome. This suggested a mode of action for the resistance that is based on denying the viral RNA access to the translation initiation complex of the plant host. The gene retr01 is the first reported example of a recessive resistance gene mapped in a Brassica species.

Solving Poisson's Equation using Deep Learning in Particle Simulation of PN Junction (2019)

Simulating the dynamic characteristics of a PN junction at the microscopic level requires solving the Poisson's equation at every time step. Solving at every time step is a necessary but time-consuming process when using the traditional finite difference (FDM) approach. Deep learning is a powerful technique to fit complex functions. In this work, deep learning is utilized to accelerate solving Poisson's equation in a PN junction. The role of the boundary condition is emphasized in the loss function to ensure a better fitting. The resulting I-V curve for the PN junction, using the deep learning solver presented in this work, shows a perfect match to the I-V curve obtained using the finite difference method, with the advantage of being 10 times faster at every time step.
Accurate explicitly correlated wave functions for two electrons in a square (2011)

An explicitly correlated linear-r(12) variational method is developed for a system of two electrons confined to a two-dimensional square well with infinite walls. The wave function is written as an expansion in products of non-negative integer powers of the relative and center-of-mass electronic coordinates and powers of r(12) restricted to 0 and 1. This form indirectly includes higher powers of the interelectronic distance and exhibits a much faster convergence than a similar expansion without r(12)-dependent terms. The method is implemented using high-precision floating-point arithmetic. Ground-state total energies are reported with at least 12 accurate significant figures for squares with sides from 1 to 50 bohrs. The method can be used "as is" for excited states and for two-dimensional rectangular wells. We also show that wave functions for two electrons in a square and in a rectangle have a higher symmetry than can be accounted for by the point group of the system.
The Arabidopsis STRESS RESPONSE SUPPRESSOR DEAD‐box RNA helicases are nucleolar‐ and chromocenter‐localized proteins that undergo stress‐mediated relocalization and are involved in epigenetic gene silencing (2014)

DEAD-box RNA helicases are involved in many aspects of RNA metabolism and in diverse biological processes in plants. Arabidopsis thaliana mutants of two DEAD-box RNA helicases, STRESS RESPONSE SUPPRESSOR1 (STRS1) and STRS2 were previously shown to exhibit tolerance to abiotic stresses and up-regulated stress-responsive gene expression. Here, we show that Arabidopsis STRS-overexpressing lines displayed a less tolerant phenotype and reduced expression of stress-induced genes confirming the STRSs as attenuators of Arabidopsis stress responses. GFP-STRS fusion proteins exhibited localization to the nucleolus, nucleoplasm and chromocenters and exhibited relocalization in response to abscisic acid (ABA) treatment and various stresses. This relocalization was reversed when stress treatments were removed. The STRS proteins displayed mis-localization in specific gene-silencing mutants and exhibited RNA-dependent ATPase and RNA-unwinding activities. In particular, STRS2 showed mis-localization in three out of four mutants of the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway while STRS1 was mis-localized in the hd2c mutant that is defective in histone deacetylase activity. Furthermore, heterochromatic RdDM target loci displayed reduced DNA methylation and increased expression in the strs mutants. Taken together, our findings suggest that the STRS proteins are involved in epigenetic silencing of gene expression to bring about suppression of the Arabidopsis stress response.
Upregulation of Myocardial and Vascular Phosphodiesterase 9A in A Model of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (2018)

Atherosclerosis is strongly associated with cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. Besides microvascular dysfunction and diminishment of the cardiac nitric oxide-Protein Kinase G (NO-PKG) pathway, recent evidence suggests that phosphodiesterase 9A (PDE9A) enzyme has an unfavorable role in pathological changes. Here, we characterized a rabbit model that shows cardiac dysfunction as a result of an atherogenic diet, and examined the myocardial PDE9A signaling. Rabbits were divided into Control (normal diet) and HC (atherogenic diet) groups. Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography. Vascular function was assessed, along with serum biomarkers. Histological stains were conducted, expression of selected proteins and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels were determined. Signs of diastolic dysfunction were shown in HC animals, along with concentric hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis. Endothelial function was diminished in HC rabbits, along with marked reduction in the aortic lumen, and increased left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) pressures. A significant increase was shown in myocardial PDE9A levels in HC animals with unchanged vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation and cGMP levels. Upregulation of PDE9A may be associated with early stage of cardiac dysfunction in atherosclerotic conditions. Since PDE9A is involved in cGMP degradation and in deactivation of the cardioprotective PKG signaling pathway, it may become an encouraging target for future investigations in atherosclerotic diseases.
Anti-drug antibodies related to CTLA-4, PD-1, or PD-L1 inhibitors across tumour types: A systematic review. (2023)

e14600 Background: Treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) are postulated to reduce the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. A systematic review (SR) was conducted to evaluate the incidence of treatment-emergent ADAs with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors and their impact on treatment outcomes in patients with cancer. Methods: Electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library were searched in February 2022 for studies reporting incidence of ADAs and the impact of immunogenicity on treatment efficacy in oncology patients treated with PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitors. Results: Of the 4,612 articles identified, 34 publications reporting on 68 trials were included. An additional 41 and 32 records were identified from clinicaltrials.gov and packaging inserts respectively. In total, 141 trials of 15 checkpoint inhibitors and 16 tumour types were included. There was considerable variability in the reporting of ADAs, and comparisons between trials were challenging due to intra-study heterogeneity. The incidence of ADAs ranged from 0 to 74%. Across trials, in analyses with the largest sample sizes, atezolizumab was associated with the highest incidence of ADAs (29.6%), then nivolumab (12.2%), followed by the remaining treatments (0-4.4%). The incidence of neutralising antibodies (nAbs) mirrored ADA distribution, being highest for atezolizumab (4.3–27.5%) vs other treatments. Only 17 trials reported on ADA impact on treatment outcomes. Of 11 trials examining efficacy, two reported a negative effect of ADAs, eight reported no measurable effect and another had insufficient patient numbers. The impact of ADAs on treatment safety, and pharmacokinetics was also inconclusive. Conclusions: Treatment-emerging ADAs are inconsistently reported across trials and documented in up to 30% of subjects treated with checkpoint inhibitors across indications. Emergence of nAbs follows but does not perfectly mirror ADA titers, raising questions around the functional meaning of different ADAs. Standardised reporting of ADAs and nAbs should be advocated to facilitate more conclusive immunologic and clinical insight as to the relationship with ADAs and response. [Table: see text]
Optical verification of the James Webb Space Telescope (2006)

The optical system of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is split between two of the Observatory's element, the Optical Telescope Element (OTE) and the Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM). The OTE optical design consists of an 18-hexagonal segmented primary mirror (25m<sup>2</sup> clear aperture), a secondary mirror, a tertiary mirror, and a flat fine steering mirror used for fine guidance control. All optical components are made of beryllium. The primary and secondary mirror elements have hexapod actuation that provides six degrees of freedom rigid body adjustment. The optical components are mounted to a very stable truss structure made of composite materials. The OTE structure also supports the ISIM. The ISIM contains the Science Instruments (SIs) and Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) needed for acquiring mission science data and for Observatory pointing and control and provides mechanical support for the SIs and FGS. The optical performance of the telescope is a key performance metric for the success of JWST. To ensure proper performance, the JWST optical verification program is a comprehensive, incremental, end-to-end verification program which includes multiple, independent, cross checks of key optical performance metrics to reduce risk of an on-orbit telescope performance issues. This paper discusses the verification testing and analysis necessary to verify the Observatory's image quality and sensitivity requirements. This verification starts with component level verification and ends with the Observatory level verification at Johnson Space Flight Center. The optical verification of JWST is a comprehensive, incremental, end-to-end optical verification program which includes both test and analysis.
THE ROLE OF THE RETE OVARII IN MEIOSIS AND FOLLICLE FORMATION IN THE CAT, MINK AND FERRET (1975)

Ovarian morphology was studied from the inception of meiosis in the cat, mink and ferret. It was shown that "open connections", allowing cellular contact, existed between the intra-ovarian rete cords and the groups of germ cells as well as between the surface epithelium and the germ cells. The germ cells in the innermost part of the cortex and lying in contact with the rete cells were those which were the first to enter meiotic prophase. Later, the more peripheral oogonia transformed to oocytes. The first follicular formations occurred at the innermost part of the cortex. The granulosa cell layers were in open connection with the intra-ovarian rete cords. In the mink and ferret, a certain part of the rete system at the hilus differentiated into the hilar rete body. In all animals, the extra-ovarian rete cells were actively secreting. It is proposed that the rete system interacts with the cortex, initiating the start of meiosis and that the rete cells as well as cells of the surface epithelium contribute to the granulosa cell layer.

Thyroid shields are to be recommended when undertaking large FOV CBCT examinations on young patients.
IgA Nephropathy Complicated with X-linked Thrombocytopenia. (2018)

Renal involvement is occasionally observed in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) and X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT). It has been reported that galactose-deficient IgA is a closely linked to IgA nephropathy (IgAN), suggesting that patients with XLT/WAS associated with reduced galactosylation on serum IgA are susceptible to IgAN. It is necessary to pay more attention to patients with IgAN due to the potential complication with XLT/WAS. We here present a patient of XLT complicated with mild IgAN who underwent tonsillectomy combined with steroid pulse therapy to achieve complete clinical remission.
Rethinking Biosafety in Research on Potential Pandemic Pathogens (2012)

If accidentally released, mammalian-transmissible influenza A/H5N1 viruses could pose a greater threat to public health than possibly any other infectious agent currently under study in laboratories, because of such viruses' likely combination of transmissibility and virulence to humans. We advocate explicit risk-benefit assessments before work on such pathogens is permitted or funded, improvement of biosafety practices and enforcement, and harmonization of criteria for permitting such experiments across government agencies, as well as internationally. Such potential pandemic pathogens, as they have been called, jeopardize not only laboratory workers and their contacts, but also the wider population, who should be involved in assessments of when such risks are acceptable in the service of scientific knowledge that may itself bear major public health benefits.
Alert aggregation in mobile ad hoc networks (2003)

In Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs), IDS agents using local detection engines alone may lead to undesirable performance due to the dynamic feature of MANETs. In this paper, we present a nonoverlapping Zone-based Intrusion Detection System (ZBIDS) for MANETs. Focusing on the protection of MANET routing protocols, we propose the collaboration mechanism of ZBIDS agents and an aggregation algorithm used by ZBIDS gateway nodes. The aggregation algorithm mainly utilizes the probability distribution of the $Source$ attribute in order to make the final decisions to generate alarms. We demonstrate that, by integrating the security related information from a wider area, the aggregation algorithm can reduce the false alarm ratio and improve the detection ratio. Also, the gateway nodes in ZBIDS can provide more diagnostic information by presenting a global view of attacks. We also present an alert data model conformed to Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format (IDMEF) to facilitate the interoperability of IDS agents. Based on the routing disruption attack aimed at the Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR), we study the performance of ZBIDS at different mobility levels. Simulation results show that our system can achieve lower false positive ratio and higher detection ratio, compared to systems with local detection only.
Impact of Grapefruit Juice on the Antiplatelet Activity of Loading and Maintenance Doses of Clopidogrel in Healthy Volunteers (2014)

Compared to tap water, grapefruit juice significantly increased the mean PRU in patients following a 300 mg loading dose of clopidogrel. The increase in mean PRU after 7 days of a 75 mg/day maintenance dose of clopidogrel was also increased by grapefruit juice, but the magnitude of the increase was not statistically significant. The proportion of subjects with high on-treatment platelet reactivity with clopidogrel after ingestion with grapefruit juice was not significant during either the loading or maintenance dose. The results of our study are insufficient to reach a valid conclusion concerning an interaction between clopidogrel and grapefruit juice.
Relative entropy: Free energy associated with equilibrium fluctuations and nonequilibrium deviations (2001)

Using a one-dimensional macromolecule in aqueous solution as an illustration, we demonstrate that the relative entropy from information theory, Sigma(k)p(k) ln(p(k)/p(*)(k)), has a natural role in the energetics of equilibrium and nonequilibrium conformational fluctuations of the single molecule. It is identified as the free energy difference associated with a fluctuating density in equilibrium, and is associated with the distribution deviate from the equilibrium in nonequilibrium relaxation. This result can be generalized to any other isothermal macromolecular system using the mathematical theories of large deviations and Markov processes, and at the same time provides the well-known mathematical results with interesting physical interpretations.
Basis for Resistance to Imatinib in 16 BCR-ABL Mutants as Determined Using Molecular Dynamics (2009)

Large-scale (approximately 36,000 atoms) long-time (30 ns each) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on the complex of imatinib and 16 common mutants of the ABL tyrosine kinase domain have been performed to study the imatinib resistance mechanisms at the atomic level. MD simulations show that long time computational simulations could offer insight information that static models, simple homology modeling methods, or short-time simulations cannot provide for the BCR-ABL imatinib resistance problem. Three possible types of mutational effects from those mutants are found: the direct effect on the contact interaction with imatinib (e.g. some P-loop mutations), the effect on the conformation of a remote region contacting with imatinib (e.g. T315I), and the effect on interaction between two regions within the BCR-ABL domain (e.g. H396P). Insights of possible imatinib resistance mechanisms, not consistent with current consensus, are revealed from various analyses and our findings suggest that drugs with different binding modes may be necessary to overcome the drug resistance due to T315I and other mutations. The relevant patents are discussed.
δ-catenin, an Adhesive Junction–associated Protein Which Promotes Cell Scattering (1999)

The classical adherens junction that holds epithelial cells together consists of a protein complex in which members of the cadherin family linked to various catenins are the principal components. delta-catenin is a mammalian brain protein in the Armadillo repeat superfamily with sequence similarity to the adherens junction protein p120(ctn). We found that delta-catenin can be immunoprecipitated as a complex with other components of the adherens junction, including cadherin and beta-catenin, from transfected cells and brain. The interaction with cadherin involves direct contact within the highly conserved juxtamembrane region of the COOH terminus, where p120(ctn) also binds. In developing mouse brain, staining with delta-catenin antibodies is prominent towards the apical boundary of the neuroepithelial cells in the ventricular zone. When transfected into Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells delta-catenin colocalized with cadherin, p120(ctn), and beta-catenin. The Arm domain alone was sufficient for achieving localization and coimmunoprecipitation with cadherin. The ectopic expression of delta-catenin in MDCK cells altered their morphology, induced the elaboration of lamellipodia, interfered with monolayer formation, and increased scattering in response to hepatocyte growth factor treatment. We propose that delta-catenin can regulate adhesion molecules to implement the organization of large cellular arrays necessary for tissue morphogenesis.
Generation of clinical grade dendritic cells with capacity to produce biologically active IL-12p70 (2007)

Our new maturation cocktails allowed easy DC harvesting, stable maturation and substantial recoveries of mature DCs after cryopreservation. Our procedure for generating DCs is easily adaptable for GMP-compliance and yields IL-12p70-secreting DCs suitable for development of cancer vaccines using peptides or RNA as sources of immunizing antigens.
